thanks for the responses guys. And to the question "how bad do i want it" is really the inncorrect question cause its the only thing i have right now. Thus, i HAVE to do it. I'm up shit creeck without a paddle. i NEED to fight to make some money to get out of this bind i'm in. I dont have dreams of becoming a champion, i just want to make some cash in the next 5 years doing this and maybe have it help me get through school while i'm at it.
When i did this 12 years ago it was it was more about pride and bragging rights. I liked to talk about it to people so i could feel important.
Now i really fighting for survial. I have had a string of problems that has lead me to be homeless, gain a felony, get divorced, in jail, lost about 4 jobs in the last 5 years, i have no car, and the town i live in has a 40% unemployment rate. Lucky i'm living with my mom right now.
Thus, i'm going to be treating this like its my job cause i hope to start amature fighting within 3 to 4 months. And maybe in a year do a pro fight.
The place that has accepted me is high speed and low stress so far. I hope after they get to know me they start treating me like my drill sergeants did. My drill sergeants are still my icons. Anyhow, i'm not considering this my comeback. I havent told any of my old friends that i'm getting back in the game so i really dont care about my name anymore, just money to get back on my feet. However, i must admit, that i havent felt this good about myself since i was in the military years ago. The last 3 years i've been a hermit. I've slept all day and stayed up all night playing xbox and smoking cigs. I've been depresed off my ass.
However, this is like my "hail mary" attempt at getting my life going again. I'm going to be on these forums a lot instead of "gamespot" lol so i can learn some ins and outs by you all the guys here and stay motivated. From what i've read arouond so far this communtity seems really cool.
Well i've been around long enough to know that this pain is temporary and my cardio will come around soon enough. I just didnt expect my cardio to be so bad that it felt like i had asmaha lol or that my muscles felt like i;ve been in a car crash. But to the one question as to why i didnt try in get in some shape beofre i went there well it was becasue i only train when im motivated. I wouldnt want to train on my own then go to the club and hope that they will sponser me. I need someone chewing my ass out and yelling at me to "unf@ck myself" and to "drink a lot of water cause it going to be hot in hell" lol. So i just need to suck it up. I've been thinking about that movie spartacus where they fought to the death with weapons and the like. Anyway ill keep yall updated :P

Hard-working Springsteen "exactly where I want to be"
By Ray Waddell
NASHVILLE (Billboard) - It's a cool, crisp November evening in Nashville, and yes, Bruce Springsteen knows exactly where he is.
It's a few days after Springsteen committed what he called "every frontman's nightmare" by confusing Michigan with Ohio during an onstage call-out. But if Springsteen gets mixed up occasionally as to which city or state he's about to rock, it's understandable.
Springsteen and his E Street Band have been on a global tour since 2007, through two album cycles, performances at the Super Bowl and presidential inauguration and first-time appearances at several major festivals. Even for an artist who has largely built his career on epic shows, Springsteen and the E Streeters have shifted into a higher gear.
Springsteen has been unusually prolific in the studio as well, releasing albums of new material in 2007 ("Magic") and this year ("Working on a Dream"). At the same time, he's acknowledging his beloved albums of the past by playing full sets of classic recordings in concert. On this night in Nashville his 1975 breakthrough album, "Born to Run," will get the live treatment, to stunning effect.
"This last year, in my point of view, was as great a year as we've ever had," longtime Springsteen manager Jon Landau says backstage at Nashville's Sommet Center. "It's fair to say I've never spent a year with him where he's just been so consistently enthusiastic, energetic. And Bruce is one of those guys who leads by example. When you're working with him, if you're a collaborator, a manager or in the band, you can't be doing less than 1,000 percent. You wouldn't like yourself if you didn't dig as deep as he's digging."
Springsteen is indeed digging deep, but in his dressing room before the show, he laughs it off. "We were talking about it the other day -- we said, 'I don't know if we've been this busy since 1985, or ever,'" he says. "It's just the way things worked out. Some of those things we planned and some of them just happened."
Four nights before this marathon trek is set to end in Buffalo, N.Y., Springsteen isn't fatigued, but excited about his future and that of the E Street Band. What the Boss is most concerned about is his pending show, during which he repeatedly assures the ecstatic crowd that he knows he's in Nashville, Tenn. -- and is thrilled to be there.
Billboard: The last couple of years for you have been pretty exceptional in terms of productivity, both live and in the studio. Continued...

You are sure to go through periods of intense personal crisis, but if you remain strong you will be even better for these phases when you pass out of them — as those who know you will assure you. There is a part of you which actually thrives on hardship, which is in a sense fueled by unfortunate circumstances.

Dear Abby Speaking up for others a necessity DEAR ABBY: The Nazis killed my aunt not long before I was inducted into the service in 1945. My father's last days at age 94 (some 45 years later) were consumed by that terrible occurrence. Just today I watched a television talk show where a vocal minority made some very convincing comments against our involvement in the war against Iraq. Although I would not wish to silence that group's warnings, because I, too, felt uneasy about our entering yet another war, I'm enclosing a gem of a piece that appeared in your column. Please print it again. It is timeless. ERIC SCHOENHAAR, GREELEY, COLO. DEAR ERIC: That "gem of a piece" has appeared in my column several times, and I agree, it is indeed timeless. And it's also timely. It was written by the Rev. Martin Niemoeller, a German Lutheran pastor who was arrested by the Gestapo in 1938. He was sent to Dachau concentration camp where he remained until he was freed by the Allied forces in 1945. It was titled "I Didn't Speak Up" — and here it is: "In Germany, the Nazis first came for the communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak for me." DEAR ABBY: The man I love is 73. I am 47. "Irving" and I have known each other for many years and there is no doubt about our love for each other. We get along very well, have a great deal in common and our sex life is great! The problem: I would like to get married, but Irving doesn't want to marry me. He says he's afraid that one day he ll be a sick old man and I will have to take care of him. His wife died two years ago after a very long illness through which he nursed her devotedly, and he doesn't want me to have to go through the same thing with him. I try to tell him that growing old does not necessarily mean getting sick and becoming a burden. I want to marry this man and enjoy whatever time we have left together.

By DONNA CASSATA Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON — Members of Congress are busily invoking the Persian Gulf War, and any other argument, to save their local military bases as the Pentagon prepares a list of installations to be closed. Members of the New Jersey and Texas congressional delegations have met in recent weeks with top Defense Department officials, touting the role of their bases in securing victory in the gulf. "Iraqi aggression was halted because of the rapid movement of thousands of troops and millions of tons of equipment, much of which came from or through Texas," Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, D-Texas, said last week. Bentsen argued that Fort Bliss in El Paso should be kept off the closings list because it is home to Patriot missiles, which were largely successful in intercepting Iraqi Scud missiles. That contention was also used by Rep. Dean Gallo, R-N.J., who stressed in a meeting with Army Secretary Michael Stone that the Picatin-ny Arsenal in his state helped develop the Patriot missile. Lawmakers have been pulling out the stops as the April 15 deadline nears for Defense Secretary Dick Cheney to submit his recommended list of domestic military bases to be closed or pared down. At a confirmation hearing last week for former Rep. Jim Courter. R-NJ., as head of the base-closing commission, Sen. Richard Shelby, D-Ala., reminded the nominee of the importance of the chemical weapons training done at Fort McClellan in Alabama. "I'm not looking forward to the 15th of April," said Rep. David O'B. Martin of New York, the ranking Republican on the House Armed Sci vices subcommittee on military installations and facilities. "Filing income taxes will be the nicest thing to happen." Lawmakers angry that the hit list involves oily domestic bases seized upon plans for the United States and its NATO allies to build a new air base in Crotone, Italy. "lf a case is going to be made for that base, you better bring your lunch and a change of clothes when you come to make the argument," Sen. Phil Gramm of Texas, ranking Republican on the Senate Appropriations subcommittee on military construction, said Monday. The Pentagon's budget request calls for a 63 percent increase in U.S spending for the NATO base account in fiscal 1992, including between $4$ million and $60 million for Crotone. The 401st Tactical Wing ofF-16jet fighters must be out of Torrejon, Spain, by May 1992, and the United States and its allies plan to build the new facility in Italy to house the wing. Sen. James Sasser, D-Tenn., chairman of the appropriations subcommittee, suggested using existing bases in Germany and Britain for the wing In his speech last week. President Bush challenged lawmakers to "turn away from the temptation to protect unneeded weapons systems and obsolete bases." "Nobody has any question about obsolete bases; the question is how to decide what's obsolete," said Rep. Patricia Schroeder, D-Colo CARPET CLEANING I TERRY?

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › Neoair 4-season for summer w/o sleeping bag?
Mar 23, 2012 at 10:26 pm #1287734
The Thermarest Neoair 4-season is listed at ONE ounce more than the 3-season version but doubles the R-value to an amazing 4.9 due to 3 sheets of reflective material compared to the 3-season's 1 sheet. Now, if I were to use this pad in summer, granted in the Adirondacks where it can easily hit 30 or 40 but is usually in the 50s at night, could I ditch my sleeping bag and use just a bivy and my clothes? Instead of a 20oz crap bag that requires a fleece anyway, why not a slightly heavier fleece, 12oz vs 7oz, leggings at 6oz, wear my socks to sleep, etc to add insulation and rely on the bivy to provide a shell? Has anyone ever done this in the conditions I am speaking of? I would save weight (10-16oz depending on which bag I use in the summer) and make my system more versatile, adding a bag in the shoulder seasons but relying on clothes for the summer. oh and I always use a silk liner, with or without a bag, so I could throw that in for summer use as well.Mar 24, 2012 at 4:26 pm #1858790
Greg, sorry no-one has replied. I don't have the exact combination of items you described but I have tried the similar idea of insulated clothing and no sleeping bag, about 30 years ago and it didn't work out for me so not repeated. I found I was at the same time too warm in places and yet cold in places, the proportion of clothing that worked when moving didn't work when I was asleep. Now I think I know the reason why is that the blood system pumping when active moves heat around the body, away from heat-generating parts and into other parts, a kind of equalizing effect. When asleep though the blood is much less pumping and body behaves completely differently and so heat-generating parts are not having the same opportunity to pump their heat away so they begin to get too-warm and the other parts aren't getting as much warm blood in to them so not as warm. The sleeping bag or duvet over loose clothing basically gets that radiating heat easily off the body and moves it around the bag which traps the heat, doing via air circulation similar to what blood does when active. I've found since then using clothing to boost a bag's insulation has less of an effect so I now simply focus on a sleeping bag with plenty of insulation for the general temperature and augment with internal and external insulation to tune to the day.
I don't know the degree your bivy will act to trap warm air, I think a bivy is a thin shell so via conduction it will tend to lose its heat easily (its not insulating).
Have you tried some safe experimentation in your house in some season, open the bedroom windows or something when its the right temps outside and just sleep on your bed in some ideas of clothing and see how you sleep???
Also every person has a different balance of heat production awake/sleep, different distribution of body-fat around the body, and different muscle/fat proportion so it is hard to extrapolate between people. FYI when I'm active I need less clothes than most others, when I'm asleep I need warmer bedding than most others so I figure you have to learn this for yourself.
My 2cents anyway.
Edit – additional – remember these high R-value Thermarests are still based on thin outer fabric, think about your Plan-B if there is a mat leakage. I thought about that for last 2 winters and I've decided to go for two mats, a Neoair small I got in a sale as its now discontinued and my old Prolite 4, I'm going to glue to velcro to these and have the Neoair over the Prolite. Will report conclusion probably towards end of this year.Mar 24, 2012 at 5:48 pm #1858835

+1 Nigel's suggestion to do some backyard testing … or at least in some situation where you have a bailout option.
Not so sure that the 4 season neo will make a big difference vs the ordinary neo for northern summer use with warm days and cool nights. The ground will still be relatively warm when you put the pad down and the insulation value of the pad will slow its rate of cooling.
Please report your results and perceptions paying close attention to where you feel chilled and from what direction (if you do).
I'm not inclined to be as worried about the thinness of the neoair's skin. I've used neoairs since soon after they were introduced without developing leaks and I'm not extraordinarily careful with it (but it's always on some sort of groundcloth).Mar 24, 2012 at 6:07 pm #1858844
Thinness – which Neoair, the Xtherm or the All Season? The All Season has been out for something like a year now and chances of any bugs to be worked out, the newer Xtherm, I'm guessing from the context of weight Xtherm/Xlite , is only just barely coming out now so unless there is an urgent trip, suggest giving it 6 months for bugs to be worked out. All Season has a 70d bottom 75d top, the Xtherm is I think 30d bottom 70d top so they got some of that weight saving from thinner fabric. The Neoair original has 30d top and bottom.
In the context that someone is using an original Neoair, by definition of its lower R value, *if* it were to fail its generally warmer conditions and/or someone has warmer sleeping bag, in the context of the high R-value newer mats, the context is much more cooler and/or little other insulation, so *IF* the mat were to fail the consequences are more significant. That is what is I referring to, not just probability but impact. Now in *this* thread, generally clothing compresses less than say a down sleeping bag, so more tolerant of mat failure?
As Xtherm is coming out in early April, 6 months later is October so that's a good time for the (then) cooler seasons. I was thinking of getting an Xtherm too, or the Xlite Woman's but I was hoping for these to get into owner's hands first plus I bought an Xlite small in January and immediatelyreturned it due to excessive taper, not something you'd seen on the likes of say Prolite short.Mar 25, 2012 at 1:47 am #1859035
Its been too warm in New Jersey the past month to try it out! But I get the idea that clothing can have more hot/cold spots compared to a bag. Perhaps then I would just need a quilt, as the high R value pad should be plenty for summer and shoulder use with a light quilt. I used a quilt for a few nights on a Z-lite and never felt cold on my back. In any case, this idea would be for old school hardcore fast and light summit assaults in the northeast, where one night of being slightly uncomfortable might be worth the weight savings. As it is, I use a very generous "40 deg." bag in the summer and Ive always been fine. Heck I used it in Yosemite last Sept. at 9000 ft, with two fleeces on instead of one!
Thanks all, ill let you know what I find if it ever gets cool enough to warrant insulation!Mar 25, 2012 at 9:48 am #1859111

The answer can be calculated from two of Richard Nisley's great posts:
The graph in this thread says that sleeping at 50F you'll need a clo of about 4.25. I think this is based on thermally neutral — you are neither gaining or losing heat. To get to that clo, you need what he calls the R1mid + DJ= R1 hoody + long supplex pant +
socks + a really warm DOWN JACKET!
A 300 weight fleece would give you a clo of 0.92, not nearly enough,
Now, would you survive the night? Yes. You would probably be rather uncomfortable though.Mar 25, 2012 at 10:04 am #1859121
Walter thanks for the maths.
I don't see the need to not have a sleeping bag. A bag for 45F is 12oz, compresses to about 2L, and you then tune it with some clothing and your liner to handle a bit lower temps. Is 12oz worth a bad night sleep? A 30F bag is 20oz, and compresses to about 3L.
I'd say the Neoair All Season makes more viable to have lighter kit into colder temperatures but not do the opposite of lightening summer kit.Mar 25, 2012 at 11:13 am #1859150
Maybe a down bag has the attributes you listed, but certainly not a synthetic. Can't afford down at the moment, nor do I want to deal with the issues (cleanliness and dryness aint exactly my thing).Mar 26, 2012 at 11:39 am #1859540

I think there's a small but real chance you would very much enjoy not having a sleeping bag. I spent several summers outside or under a tarp in temperatures 30 to 60F sleeping in my clothes and a silk liner and I really liked ditching that lump from my pack.
On the coldest nights, I slept on either a 3/4 RidgeRest and my pack or a full-length Therm-A-Rest self-inflator. I wore a 200gram wool top, poly t-shirt and tights, thick wool socks, a stocking cap, rain or sun pants if I had them, rain jacket, and running shorts, and slept in a cheapo thicker-weight silk bag liner (probably more warm than a thin one but less warm than thin fleece).
–The 30-35 degree nights were rare, and I was cold when I woke up. Most nights I knew were going to be above 40.
–I am a very warm sleeper, and had tested my system out down to 40 before committing to it on a trip. I was the only one who practiced this system out of a guide staff of around 70.
–On any trip below 40, I think a dedicated sleeping bag is a good idea, and I did not hesitate to bring one along for early-season trips with low daytime temperatures.
–It is debatable whether you will save weight. I did this because I only owned and could only afford a cheap 20 degree bag. If you could get a warmer weather bag, you could maybe leave some of that clothing at home.
–***You mention cost as a limiting factor. It shouldn't be, if you avoid spending so much money on your sleeping pad. Get a RidgeRest or something and spend the ~$100 you save on or toward a sleeping bag.Mar 26, 2012 at 9:35 pm #1859800
@ryan: Its not so much the cost but the fact that I'll be quite dirty each day from doing trail crew work, and I know the cheap Lafuma bag I have now is gonna bust before the end of the summer. I am looking at some light sleeping bags, its just hard to find a non-down bag under 2 pounds in a long.Mar 26, 2012 at 11:13 pm #1859836
Greg, makes a lot more sense in terms of your gear age and context.
What is the risk your old dirty clothing could ruin a fairly expensive new Neoair All Season?
Does this call for some MYOG, stitch a layer on your old bag to make it last longer? You know we use those ideas with seat covers from fabric to stretch an old couch….
Your clothing, don't wear it all but place inside a sandwich of layer in a MYOG bag-shape something??? (sounds in my mind a bad idea just offering in case others think a good idea).
The general view from many in this thread is using clothing to boost a sleeping bag will work but using clothing instead of a sleeping bag won't kill you just lead to cold waking and feel bad the next day. So basically you're only missing adding some insulation to an all-bag bag-shape "thing".Mar 27, 2012 at 6:33 pm #1860240

Good on ya for doing the trail work. I've done a little, but I have known many people who have done this all summer as well. As far as I know, they all brought sleeping bags, some synthetic and some down (Carhartts all day, through lakes and swamps and rock, then those doff those and climb into a light bag for the night). I think with your silk liner and a bit of pre-bedtime wash-up, you shouldn't be too hard on a bag. Maybe a top quilt would be best, since you won't grind any grit into it with your weight and you won't dirty it as much with your head/hair.
Whatever you end up with, enjoy all your nights out!Mar 28, 2012 at 10:59 am #1860487

Greg, I have the NeoAir 4 Season and it's an awesome pad, definitely warm. You feel the warmth radiating from it when you lay down, and the thickness and durability is rad.
I don't think you could get by without some barrier trapping your heat. I'll be traveling to Europe this fall and plan on buying one of these: Thermolite Mummy Liner.
Combined with the NeoAir 4 season, a bivy sack, this liner, and all of your clothes, you might be able to get by in temps above 40. That's probably pushing it though, depending on the clothes you're wearing. But it's worth a try.Mar 28, 2012 at 1:01 pm #1860538

I didn't make the connection that you were thinking of doing this for your SCA trail work. Please don't. Your body will benefit greatly from sleeping comfortably. I doubt your sleeping bag or quilt will get that dirty, but if it does, it's worth it. If you're really worried and want to save weight, then bring a set of silk sleeping clothes.

A lot has been written about King Digital Entertainment's (BATS:KING) upcoming IPO, much of it overwhelmingly negative. In general, the major criticisms of the company consist of:
- Revenue Concentration: 95% of revenue comes from just 3 games, with 78% coming from Candy Crush alone. To make matters worse, ALL of KING's revenue comes from just 4% of its user base.
- Peaking Growth: Despite explosive growth over the past year, KING's revenues posted a sequential decline in the 4th quarter of 2013.
- "Fickle" user base: The mobile gaming industry has low barriers to entry and is highly unpredictable. Nothing illustrates this better than the sudden rise of Flappy Birds, an immensely popular app which was developed by a single programmer over the span of a few days.
These points are enough to scare away many investors, myself included. However, it's still worthwhile to examine what a reasonable "bull" scenario would look like. As a great author once said, "The test of first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function." With that in mind, let's play devil's advocate and examine how the stock could reasonably (i.e. not a 'pie-in-the-sky' growth story) see upside from its initial offering price in the low $20s.
Reasonable Bull Case: Mobile gaming is here to stay, and KING is poised to rule
In a video game industry that's been around for decades, mobile gaming has quickly become the "new normal" for hundreds of millions of smartphone owners across the globe. Practically unheard of just five years ago, the sector has quickly blossomed into a multi-billion dollar opportunity, and is projected to continue growing by more than 30% annually.
An important distinction to make when looking at mobile games vs. traditional video games is that mobile games are rarely a destination, but rather a time-killer. Anyone who commutes via public transportation or has recently spent time in a waiting room has likely witnessed -or experienced- this firsthand.
KING understands this distinction, and uses it as a guiding philosophy. When developing new game titles, the company embraces an "anytime, anywhere" model, creating games that are easy to learn but difficult to master and can be played in small "bite-sized" chunks of time. In other words, KING understands what makes mobile games attractive, and doesn't waste money or time trying to re-invent the wheel.
A major knock against KING is that it's a "one-trick pony," having been unable to replicate the massive success it has seen from Candy Crush. That may be the wrong way to think about it, given the nature of mobile gaming. As mentioned above, mobile games are largely used to consume a player's idle time, which is often very finite. The reason KING hasn't had another game as popular as Candy Crush is because people are still playing Candy Crush. Once current players grow bored with the game, are they simply going to stop playing mobile games altogether? I can't say for certain, but it seems doubtful. It's much more likely that as these players grow bored, they will begin to look for new mobile games to fill the idle-time vacuum once occupied by Candy Crush.
This is where KING's game development model becomes a major strength. As mentioned above, its developers understand what makes a mobile game attractive. This increases the odds of KING having a title that's enticing to former Candy Crushers who are looking for a new game. At the very least, this should keep KING's user count somewhat stable. Because of this, it may be beneficial to not think of KING as a traditional tech growth story.
(Source: Company Marketing Materials; DAU represents Daily Active Users)
As shown above, Candy Crush is beginning to look like it may have peaked in popularity at the beginning of 2014. The decline in daily active users for Candy Crush, however, has been more than offset by growth from Farm Heroes Saga and Pet Rescue Saga. Even though the popularity of these two games pales in comparison to Candy Crush, they are still both among the top-10 highest-grossing games for the Apple iTunes Store, Google Play, and Facebook.
Financial Overview: Not Your Typical Game Developer
Often overlooked in the KING IPO is that the company has remarkably solid financials. This isn't Zynga (NASDAQ:ZNGA), losing money hand-over-fist. This isn't Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:EA) with razor-thin profit margins. This isn't Activision (NASDAQ:ATVI) or Take Two Interactive (NASDAQ:TTWO) levered up with debt. For 2013, KING was profitable (with very healthy margins), generated solid cash flow, and had no debt.
(Source: Company filings)
Reasonable Bull Case Valuation: KING is worth up to $45, double its IPO price
With the above in mind, let's look at a reasonable, conservative, upside valuation. Please note that the below is a simplified, high-level growth forecast, and is intended to be illustrative in nature. Investors should always conduct their own research and analysis prior to making an investment decision.
Revenue Growth: As Candy Crush begins to lose popularity, players adopt a new game of choice. With multiple titles fitting a "model" similar to Candy Crush, many players ultimately select another KING game. A revenue growth rate of 5% assumes KING is able to retain the majority of their current users, and either attract a modest amount of new players and/or increase monetization of current players.
Profit Margin: KING's single major expense consists of paying 30% of revenue to Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), Google (NASDAQ:GOOG), Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), or Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) for purchases made via their respective app stores. With a low-cost game development model, the company is able to limit research & development spending to a modest level and enjoys low overhead costs. A profit margin of 30% assumes the company can maintain the same level of profitability it achieved in 2013.
Shares Outstanding: Per Company filings, KING will have approximately 315 million shares outstanding subsequent to their IPO. This model assumes the company does not issue any additional shares or repurchase any shares for the next five years.
Valuation Multiples: While there are a wide range of valuation multiples for other developers in the mobile and non-mobile gaming industry, a P/E of 20x and a P/S of 5x seem reasonable for a company that would, in this scenario, be the dominant player in a growing industry.
(Source: All values taken from Google Finance as of March 23, 2014)
Given the above, one could make the case that KING is reasonably worth up to $45.
Additionally, KING's prospectus does not rule out future dividend payments. Given that the company produces significant free cash flow, does not employ a cash-intensive business model, and currently has no debt to pay off, it's not a stretch to imagine they may begin paying out dividends at a later date. For the sake of simplicity, the below model assumes KING will continue to match its FCF conversion rate from 2013 and that it pays half of this out in the form of dividends.
Admittedly, these dividend projections are very speculative. At the very least, however, it helps to illustrate the potential profitability and the amount of cash KING is capable of generating.
So does the KING IPO look like an attractive investment opportunity? Probably not. Although I believe the above projections are reasonable and conservative, and the resulting price range is certainly a premium to the IPO price, I still don't believe there's enough upside to justify the massive risks mentioned at the top of this article. For investors willing to take on extra risk, however, KING may prove to be a solid contrarian bet. After all, as a great investor once said, "Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful."

text: Weakening Isaac hovers over water-logged Louisiana By The Associated Press August 30, 2012 Story Share NEW ORLEANS -- Isaac hovered over Louisiana for a third day Thursday, shedding more than a foot of additional rain that forced authorities to hurriedly evacuate areas ahead of the storm and rescue hundreds of people who could not escape as the rapidly rising waters swallowed entire neighborhoods.The huge spiral weather system weakened to a tropical depression as it crawled inland, but it caught many places off guard by following a meandering, unpredictable path. The storm's excruciatingly slow movement meant that Isaac practically parked over low-lying towns and threw off great sheets of water for hours."I was blindsided. Nobody expected this," said Richard Musatchia, who fled his water-filled home in LaPlace, northwest of New Orleans.Inside the fortified levees that protected New Orleans, bursts of sunshine streamed through the thick clouds, and life began to return to normal. But beyond the city, people got their first good look at Isaac's damage: Hundreds of homes were underwater. Half the state was without power. Thousands were staying at shelters.And the damage may not be done. Even more rain was expected in Louisiana before the storm finally drifts into Arkansas and Missouri.Isaac dumped as much as 16 inches in some areas, and about 500 people had to be rescued by boat or high-water vehicles. At least two deaths were reported.Five feet of water poured into Musatchia's home before a neighbor passed by with a boat and evacuated him and his 6-year-old boxer, Renny. He piled two suitcases, a backpack and a few smaller bags onto the boat and said that was all he had left. He abandoned a brand-new Cadillac and a Harley-Davidson."People have their generators, because they thought the power would go out, but no one expected" so much water, Musatchia said.Other evacuees were picked up by National Guard vehicles, school buses and pickup trucks.Daphine and David Newman fled their newly decorated home with two trash bags of clothing. They have lived in their subdivision since 1992 and never had water in their home from previous storms, not even Hurricane Katrina. The comparison was common since Isaac hit on the seventh anniversary of the devastating 2005 storm, though the differences were stark.Katrina was more powerful, coming ashore as a Category 3 storm. Isaac was a Category 1 at its peak. Katrina barreled into the state and quickly moved through. Isaac creeped across the landscape at less than 10 mph and wobbled constantly.David Newman was frustrated that the government spent billions of dollars reinforcing New Orleans levees after Katrina, only to see the water inundating surrounding regions."The water's got to go somewhere," he said. "It's going to find the weakest link." The sudden call for evacuations so long after the storm made landfall provoked a debate about whether anyone was to blame.Jefferson Parish Council President Chris Roberts said forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami needed a new way of measuring the danger that goes beyond wind speed."The risk that a public official has is, people say, `Aw, it's a Category 1 storm, and you guys are out there calling for mandatory evacuations,'" Roberts said.Hundreds of people in lower Jefferson chose to ride out the storm -- and many of them had to be rescued, he said.The water rose waist-high in some neighborhoods, and the Louisiana National Guard worked with sheriff's deputies to rescue people stuck in their homes.More than 900,000 homes and businesses around the state -- about 47 percent of all customers -- were without power Thursday. Utility company Entergy said that included about 157,000 in New Orleans. In Mississippi, several coastal communities struggled with all the extra water, including Pascagoula, where a large portion of the city flooded and water blocked downtown intersections.

Stay hydrated while you're crushing trails during races or daily workouts with the super light and streamlined Osprey Rev 1. 5 Hydration Pack. Osprey entered the ultralight game this year with its Rev series backpacks, and the Rev 1. 5 is the smallest of the lot. The backpack comes with an integrated, lightweight 1. 5 liter reservoir that's specially designed to prevent water from sloshing around while you're bouncing up and down the trail, and the backpack itself is designed to fit snugly and follow your movements to prevent irritating jiggling and uncomfortable chafing. Not just one, but two sternum straps keep the pack securely in place, and can be adjusted to your preferred position. One includes a magnet that conveniently holds the drinking tube's bite valve so you can quickly sip and then get the drinking tube out of the way. Two pockets one on each shoulder strap hold energy gels and your cell phone. The Rev 1. 5 is designed to sit higher on your back, and doesn't use a hip belt at all since the shoulder harness supports the entire load. With the Rev 1. 5 on your back, you won't ever have to worry about your hydration pack slowing you down during a race or fast moving training session again it'll pretty much just feel like part of your back.

Soak rice, urad dal, and fenugreek in water to cover for 3 hours. Rinse under running water and drain. Transfer to a food processor fitted with the steel blade, and grind to a smooth yet thick batter. Set batter aside, and let ferment overnight at room temperature. Add salt and a little water, if necessary, to thin batter. Heat griddle to 350 degrees F. Sprinkle hot griddle with water and a teaspoon of oil. Wipe clean with a cloth. Drizzle a little oil on the griddle. Spread evenly over the surface of the griddle, removing any excess with a bench scraper. Using a 1-cup measuring cup or ladle, measure 3/4 cup batter, and pour onto grill. Spread batter out into a 16-inch oval using the bottom of the measuring cup. Using a scraper, remove any excess batter from the top of the dosa. Cook until the surface bubbles and the bottom is golden brown (1 to 1 1/2 minutes). Place filling crosswise in center of dosa. Fold dosa in thirds to enclose filling.
In a large saucepan, place potatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, and water to cover. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer until fork-tender. Drain, peel, and cut potatoes into 1/4-inch pieces. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mustard seeds, chana dal, cashews, ginger, garlic, onions and curry leaves. Saute until onions are soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add curry powder, chile powder, turmeric, and ground coriander. Cook for 1 minute. Add peas and potatoes. Add 2 tablespoons water, and cook until heated through. Season with salt, and add chopped coriander. Use as a filling for dosa. Yield: 6 servings

Bebe Quotes
My new single 'I'm Gonna show you crazy' is really about knowing it's okay to not be okay. It's not about being legit crazy it's about feeling like you're an outsider and there's nothing wrong with that. I was bitter during that time in my life but I needed that. It helped shaped me and my music. Going through a hard time makes you a better person. Going through hell those two years was worth it.

Why Strategic Tech Abandonment Is Key to Moving Forward
Sometimes the only way to make progress is to leave something behind.
"The only thing worse than being blind is having sight but no vision."
The source of this quote knew all too well the obstacles blindness can present. But she didn't let this physical limitation, which resulted from a childhood illness that also claimed her ability to hear, stop her from soaring personally and professionally. Helen Keller became a prolific author and outspoken political activist and was honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom and induction into the National Women's Hall of Fame in her lifetime.
When given the right support, students too can soar. The challenge for school leaders, of course, is making sure the curriculum and tools are both purposeful and productive.
The Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA)'s Vision K-20 initiative furthers this cause by promoting the best uses of technology to ensure that all U.S. students have access to an environment that can prepare them to compete globally and to lead the world in innovation. Every year since 2008, the organization has surveyed the nation's educational institutions, asking their leaders to self-report their progress toward building a framework that embraces technology and digital learning.
In addition to asking about the 37 benchmark statements that measure survey participants' progress toward SIIA's Vision K-20 goals and measures (see sidebar), the 2014 version asked about bring-your-own-device implementation in schools and institutional preparedness for online, summative assessments to see how schools are adapting to new technology options.
The findings of SIIA's 2014 survey of nearly 1,000 educators representing all levels of K-20 education, released this week during the International Society for Technology in Education's 2014 conference and expo, reveal that the ideal level of technology integration is significantly higher than current levels. Here are five highlights from the data:
K-12 respondents, who accounted for 88 percent of total respondents, were fairly evenly divided across grade levels: 27 percent work in elementary schools, 28 percent work in secondary schools, and the remaining 33 percent work in high schools.
Forty-nine percent of K-12 respondents work in schools that permit mobile devices, up from 46 percent in 2013. An additional 10 percent expect BYOD adoption within the next year, and 24 percent expect to see it within the next five years.
Across all K-12 and postsecondary participants, mobile devices are used most frequently in the classroom to access and research digital content online. The next most frequently cited reasons for using mobile devices in the K-12 classroom are to create content, develop skills, and communicate and collaborate.
The majority of K-12 respondents do not feel "highly prepared" for online, summative assessments: 42 percent say they have adequate bandwidth, and 36 percent say they have enough devices and other hardware for students.
Three-quarters of K-12 respondents say technology integration is highly important, but their current levels and ideal levels of integration do not align: Only 22 percent say their schools are already highly integrated.
The full report can be downloaded here.
Seven educational goals represent the instructional and institutional outcomes enabled through technology and e-learning:
Five technology measures, meanwhile, may indicate progress for technology and e-learning implementation toward the educational goals:

In New York today, the dollar eased to 138 yen, compared to 138.75 yen late Wednesday. Analysts said they were surprised that Wall Street opened so strongly today, but said the market may have gotten some encouragement from signs of stability that emerged during Wednesday's session The market's strength in the face of the overseas losses and the dollar's weakness was a positive sign, said Jack Baker, head of block trading at Shearson I oilman Brothers Inc. "We're pretty impressed.'' he said However. A lot of people aren't going to rush back" to stocks of smaller companies. Baker said. Those stocks, which comprise what is known as the secondary market, remained lower even while blue chip stocks rose following the market's Get 19 collapse Although there was more panic stock selling in New York Wednesday, "each wave puts less pressure on the market.' said Michael Metz, an analyst with Op-penheimer & Co. That could be a sign of a turnaround. or at least a welcome measure of stability, some suggested. Alan Shaw, a managing director at Smith Barney. Harris Upham & Co., said the Dow average's 21 5-point recovery in the last 30 minutes evidenced the market's resiliency in spite of the turmoil that began with the Oct. 19 collapse that erased $500 billion from the value of stocks But analysts were still cautious This is a very treacherous market," said Alfred E Goldman a vice president at A G Edwards ii Sons Inc. in St. Louis. Two stocks fell for every one that advanced Wednesday Meanwhile, the market value of American stocks, as measured by Wilshire Associates, fell $12 billion, or 0.5 percent, to $2 25 trillion after recouping On Tuesday, stocks picked up about $37 billion, while the Dow average rose 52 56 points Volume came to 279 million shares in another abbreviated session on the New York exchange. Markets have been closing two hours early to allow people to catch up on paperw ork and will continue to have shortened hours through F riday In early New York dealings today, the dollar hovered around Wednesday's lows against the British pound and the West German mark Stephen Flanagan a trader at Manufacturers Hanover Trust Co., predicted activity would be "choppy" and marked by "considerable dollar buying" because of technical factors Reasoner full of baloney EL PASO. Texas AP - CBS newsman Harry Reasoner knew he was dishing out a big load of baloney when he called the University of Texas-El Paso one of the most distinguished in the nation, but it was all in fun Reasoner, speaking Tuesday in a national radio broadcast, said he was testing the school's "Emergency Baloney gram System" by feeding his listeners a big bunch of baloney unsandwiched by truth. Texas-El Paso officials cooked up the tongue-in-cheek Baloneygram idea last week to clear up misconceptions about the university The school bites back at disseminators of incorrect information by ordering a Baloneygram to clear up the misconception Reasoner seemed to want a Baloneygram rn the "wurst" way Tuesday when he served a tall stack of baloney on CBS New snotes. •'The ivy-and-cactus-covered campus of the University of Texas at El Paso is home to one of America s foremost and most respected academic institutions." Reasoner said "UTEP's stringent admission policies rank second only to Harvard's "The distinguished UTEP faculty has hired twice as many Nobel prize winners as MIT and Cal Tech combined .And at the UTEP phys-ed department, the only scholar-athletes who didn't win Rhodes scholarships last year made do with Fulbrights." The campus is not ivy-covered School officials said Reasoner s comments didn't give them any indigestion. bell* vc mortgage rate" are headed down UNEMPLOYMENT Unemployment in September fell to 5 9 percent the first time this decade it has been below 6 percent But economists are new predicting it will t**gin rising again because of the weak economic growth they are forecasting I NE I A I Ion I hrough September. inflation has been rising at .t: annual rate of 4 8 percent While there I-I been fears that rising energy prices c**uid "end consumer pm es racing ahead at much higher rates eeononusts now behew* those worries were unjustified IM KREN I RATES One of the few br'gtit spots in the post-stock « 'Hap***- world The Federal Reserve which had been tightening credit bx a use of inflation worries, fias been aggressively easing since the crash to insure that the sudden loss of wealth didn't weaken the American banking system This infusion of new money is expected to push a variety of interest rates, including mortgage rates, lower in months ahead, rev ersing some of the hefty increases seen earlier in the vear BUDGET DEFICIT The budget deficit fell by 33 percent in the fiscal vear which ended Sept 30. declining to $148 billion While Wall Street has forced the Reagan administration and Congress to get serious about making further deficit reductions, analysts are not h**peful Despite what happens rn the negotiations. many of them "ee the red ink rising to around UTO billion in the current budget year SKATE CENTER - SEGUIN OPEN FRI NITE 7 30 10 30 BLDG NOW AVAIL SAT KITES FOB PRIVATE PARTIES ETC ' (SKATING OR NON SKATING) RENTAL INFO: 372 Fndav October 30 8 OO 12 OO Stockton & Johnson Saturday October 31 9 OO 1 OO Clay Blaker Sunday November 1 4 00 8 00 Hal Michael Ketchum 625 0142 f BARGAIN MATINEES 4 40 TO 5 30 DAU Y V' A*'v •*' ' * FATAL ATTRACTION Sat Sun 2 JO 4 4* IOO* *S _A»«* Jar* 4 4S 7 OO t H WALNUT 6 629-6400 TU,S,)AV HHHHHHHi _ liar* Mere I like I.tiki I rn Sat Sun A•okday JU HIU I SKK' STAKEOUT Sat Sun J J% 4 SO 7 06 9 20 A ark da* * 4 SC 7 OS 9 20 Sat Sun I JO J JO * JO ' JC 9 JO ftmaayv b JO 7 JO 9 JO HATOUM He ll *eor your voui opart Sat Sun I IO J IO A 10 7 lOlTO Meekly* 6 IO 7 IO 9 *0 Sat Sun I OO J OSS 10 71 Wftkdiyc S IO 7 20 9 JO Sat Sun 2 46 SOO 7 IS *30 Aaakdayx 6 OO 7 1SS30 Friday, October 30 9: OO to I : OO Caroline Steele Saturday, October 31 Darrell McCall ff e Noir Nerve Mixed Drink* Restaurant Thursday Night /^saturday Kibeye Steak Dinner / Night $5.95 / Prime Rib Dinner 8 oz.

Time Warp: A Summary of Berlin
It's taken me a few days to detox from Berlin, and to process what I thought of the city.
The place is insane -- not because of the bullet-hole pocked walls (though there's that) -- and not because there's a bar that overlooks a monkey enclosure (though there's that too). But because in Berlin, you have the sense of being in several time periods at once. The buildings have so many stories to tell, so many identities to ...
Exploring Berlin
... up recently for the benefit of tourists. The bunker was completely destroyed and since Berlin is surprisingly built on swamp land (as the name Berlin suggests), the underground area would be filled with water in any case. The government was also concerned that marking the place of his death would attract neo Nazi's to the area.
We also went to a free museum located near one of the three remaining pieces of the Berlin wall with the large photographic ...
Berlin madness
... the city and show me the real underground places to party which I would have never ever found alone. First off all he showed me around the city and in my first night I had seen the Cathedral, museum complex, Christmas markets, crazy theme park set up for Christmas time, tried a famous kebab and explored the shopping malls. Second on the list was changing my hostel - Lorenzo told me that if I wanted to see nightlife I had to be where the party was at!!!! The next day he took me ...
... time at the zoo and McDonalds I get to the guy doing the walking tour only to find it is exactly the same as I did yesterday just starting in the West instead of the East!! So he gave me a suggestion on what else to do which I did. I went to the church around the corner which is just about the only ruin left in Berlin. Luckily the tour guide had told me to go into the new church next door - given what it looked like from the outside I wouldn't have ...
Study Tour in Berlin- Day 29
... be easily seen by the architecture as the West is more traditional and East more modern I would say. Finally reaching our hotel, we had a few minutes to go into our rooms and freshen up before departing for lunch. It was colder than I expected so instead of shorts, I put on some jeans. I am not very good at reading the weather or someone can't do their job. We took the train and walked to lunch at Gasthaus Mutter Hoppe. It was traditional German food, so I was ...

BEIJING (AP) A Tibetan environmentalist once praised as a model philanthropist was sentenced to 15 years in prison on charges of grave robbing and dealing in looted antiquities, in a case supporters said was aimed at punishing his activism.
The trial of Karma Samdrup came after he spoke up for his two brothers, also environmental activists, who were detained after accusing local officials in eastern Tibet of poaching endangered species. Authorities in tightly controlled Tibet are extremely sensitive to social activism and criticism, either explicit or implied.
The cases come amid increased repression of Tibetan intellectuals, an echo of the massive security crackdown that followed rioting in the capital, Lhasa, in 2008 in which at least 22 people died.
In addition to the prison sentence Thursday, Karma Samdrup was stripped of his political rights for five years and fined $1,500 after a three-day trial with sessions that lasted until midnight, lawyer Pu Zhiqiang told the Associated Press.
"I want to appeal, I have to appeal," Karma Samdrup's wife, Zhenga Cuomao, quoted him as saying after the verdict was handed down at the court in remote Yanqi county in the Xinjiang region adjoining Tibet.
Phones at the court rang unanswered Thursday night after the verdict was announced.
Pu complained of irregularities in the trial, including witnesses who testified against Karma Samdrup that defense attorneys did not recognize. Court documents had removed evidence favorable to his client and added new testimony against him, he said, and the indictment had been translated from Chinese into a Tibetan dialect different from that spoken by Karma Samdrup, making it impossible for him to understand it.
Karma Samdrup's wife and lawyers have accused police of torturing him in custody. In his statement to the court, he said during months of interrogation, officers beat him, deprived him of sleep for days and drugged him with a substance that made his eyes and ears bleed, they said.
"I cannot recognize him anymore. I can only recognize his voice," Zhenga Cuomao said. "He used to be so tall, so strong ... now he looks so fragile."
The charges against Karma Samdrup — named philanthropist of the year in 2006 by state broadcaster CCTV — date back to 1998 but were not pursued until this year.
The accusations stem from purchases that Karma Samdrup made of carpets, wooden artifacts and other antiques at a shop in Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang, Pu said. He added Karma Samdrup bought the items because he was interested in them as a collector, but did not know they had been plundered from graves in the region.
Robbie Barnett, a Tibet scholar at Columbia University, said although powerful local officials were apparently behind the prosecution, judges had allowed an open trial with common criminal charges, which could reflect their unease in hearing the case. Most politically sensitive cases with Tibetans involve vague state security charges and a closed courtroom.
"It's a terrible outcome in terms of the sentence but it does suggest that there was an effort by the judges to have some of a real legal process of a kind we have not seen and which may not have happened before with a Tibetan case in China," he said.
Karma Samdrup's younger brother, Chime Namgyal, is reportedly serving a 21-month sentence in a labor camp on the vague charge of harming national security. His older brother, Rinchen Samdrup, was scheduled to be tried on a similar charge this week, but that trial has been postponed.
"The results of Karma Samdrup's trial will have a terrible impact on the Tibetan community. People are going to feel very vulnerable," said Woeser, a Beijing-based Tibetan poet and activist closely following the case. Like many Tibetans, she goes by only one name.
"Because if someone like Karma, whose prestige comes from his achievements in business and other philanthropic activities, and who never mixed in politics, can receive such a harsh sentence, then no one is safe," she said.
Last month, the Washington-based International Campaign for Tibet published a report saying 31 Tibetans are now in prison "after reporting or expressing views, writing poetry or prose, or simply sharing information about Chinese government policies and their impact in Tibet today."
The report said it was the first time since the end of China's chaotic Cultural Revolution in 1976 that there has been such a targeted campaign against Tibetan singers, artists and writers who peacefully express their views.
