Paul M. Frank is the president of Aviemore Asset Management, LLC, and the portfolio manager of the ETF Market Opportunity Fund (ETFOX), which has earned five stars from Morningstar for three-year, five-year and overall performance. ETFOX currently has nearly $75 million in assets under management.
Seeking Alpha's Jonathan Liss recently spoke with Mr. Frank to find out how he planned to position his ETFOX mutual fund in 2011 in light of his understanding of how a range of macro-economic trends were likely to unfold in the coming year:
Seeking Alpha (SA): Welcome back, Paul. How did your predictions for 2010 play out, and how did the fund do?
Paul Frank (PF): Thank you for inviting me back to share my ideas with Seeking Alpha. My predictions for 2010 were mid caps and a turn in the US dollar weakness trades. I was correct on the mid caps (ETFOX owned MDY and RWK). I didn't foresee the steps we'd take to undermine the US dollar, but was quick to take advantage of it.
The Fund's goal is to beat the S&P 500 return with lower volatility. Many funds reduce volatility by simply doing an equity/bond mix. I reduce volatility and increase alpha by a more detailed process. Most funds that did well in 2008 haven't kept up for the last two years. ETFOX has beaten the S&P 500 for each of the last three years. As of today, ETFOX is beating the S&P 500 by approximately 3.5% a year with a beta of 0.87 for the last five years. The Fund has been achieving the goal I set for it.
SA: Looking back at 2010, which ETF investments worked out particularly well, and which were a bust?
PF: The Market Vectors Indonesia fund (NYSEARCA:IDX) and iShares Silver (NYSEARCA:SLV) are two of the Fund's best performers this year. They were both added to the portfolio in 2009 and continued to generate alpha in 2010, while decreasing the Fund's volatility because of their low correlation to domestic equities. Their weightings were trimmed recently, but none of my quantitative work has turned bearish. iShares US Transport (NYSEARCA:IYT) didn't work out as desired. A small profit turned into a small loss in August and the money was rotated into First Trust Micro Cap (NYSEARCA:FDM), which has performed very well.
Seeking Alpha (SA): What methodology are you using to position yourself with ETFs for 2011?
PF: The first step in the Fund's investment process is to rank all of the ETFs quantitatively. I calculate each ETF's Sharpe Ratio using two different time frames. This allows me to compare them on the basis of units of risk. I then do some Fundamental and Modern Portfolio calculations in order to build the portfolio closest to the Efficient Frontier at the level of risk I want to take.
PF: This has me increasing positions in Small Caps (VBK, VB, FDM), Metals & Mining (XME, REMX), Oil (NYSEARCA:VDE) and opening new positions in Financial (NYSEARCA:KBE).
SA: Despite predictions of a dip in equities amid slow global growth in 2010, stocks were clearly the better choice than bonds in 2010, especially in Q4 where bonds sold off almost across the board whereas stock returns remained robust. What's your view of bonds going into 2011?
PF: The only fixed income position in the Fund is TBF, which is ProShares' Inverse 20+ Year Treasury. So my bond allocation is negative. Many people don't understand the risks involved in buying and holding long-term Treasuries. All of my work shows continued weakness in the fixed income ETFs. I like seeking alpha because of its emphasis on mathematics. People need to concentrate on the relationship between asset classes and position their investments accordingly. I believe fixed income will underperform ETFOX.
SA: What would you say to people who own munis? Will a government bailout ultimately be necessary to backstop state debt as defaults pile up? Do the significant tax benefits of municipal bonds still outweigh the possible downside of one or more states defaulting?
PF: Who is going to backstop the Feds? I met with an advisor/newsletter writer this past spring and explained to him the beauty of betting against munis. To be nice, I'll just say he didn't agree. Shorting munis is very difficult, but some of the issues have credit default swaps available. Many of the CDS have doubled in price since my meeting (ETFOX doesn't own any CDS). Having said that, munis are a very fractured market. If you own a NY muni based on cigarette revenues, I would get out while you can. If you own a PA muni based on toll road revenues, I wouldn't worry too much.
SA: To what extent are you bearish on bonds because you expect inflation? In November the Fed implemented another round of quantitative easing (QE). Will we get a third round of fiscal stimulus in 2011?
JL: To steal a phrase: "I've learned what Quantitative Easing is, but now I don't what the meaning of Money is." Just about everything measured by dollars is going up. If we measure them in terms of purchasing power, I'm not so sure. I couldn't believe they did QE II, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised if we see QE III and beyond. I don't do any "seat of the pants" trading, but my work seems to be pointing in the direction of sectors that do well during periods of currency debasement. I believe inflation is coming, although I don't know if it will hit hard in 2011. Often extraneous events cause inflationary spikes and it is necessary to keep up with events across the globe.
PF: The Fund's only direct commodity holding is iShares Silver (SLV). I get exposure to the metals through the mining companies (XME, REMX) because I like the balance sheet leverage they have to the actual metals. The agricultural ETFs are climbing in my rankings and may be added to the portfolio in 2011.
SA: Let's move on to some specific issues that will affect equity returns in 2011 and beyond. How does the incoming Republican House majority affect the economic outlook for the next two years? Is gridlock ultimately good or bad for equity returns?
PF: In the past gridlock has been good for equity returns. I think it will be detrimental going forward. If some regulations/laws are not reversed, and if the size of government borrowing/spending continues at the present pace, we will see lower growth. Much of this is simple Economics 101. People need incentives. If you lengthen unemployment payments for over 2 years you can't expect the unemployment rate to decrease.
SA: Meanwhile, the U.S. housing market seems to be in the midst of another prolonged leg down.
PF: I like markets that aren't manipulated. Our government held the flame under the housing caldron for far too long. Everyone knows that prices went too high, so why are we now trying to prop up those high prices. The housing market should have been allowed to completely correct and I'm not going to bet on it happening anytime soon.
SA: How about the situation in the EU? Have you lightened up on European stock/bond exposure in client portfolios as a result of continuing contagion there? Are there any bright spots you'd focus on in terms of European equity allocation?
PF: Presently the Fund doesn't own any European ETFs. Some of the Fund's holdings (Industrial Select Spyder (NYSEARCA:XLI)) have exposure to Europe, but IDX is my only pure International holding. If an ETF rises in my quantitative rankings, I calculate its co-variance to my present holdings. It will be added if the calculations show that it makes sense. I don't have any bias against Europe, but they haven't earned a place in my Fund.
SA: That's remarkable - your only pure foreign holding is Indonesia. Why not China or India, or broad exposure to emerging markets with EEM or VWO?
PF: Indonesia is the 3rd largest democracy in the world, and their internal fundamentals are phenomenal. Indonesia has an open capital account and its economy isn't as reliant on exports as China. Another reason I own IDX is because it is the least correlated to the US markets. India is also a great story but I think China isn't their equal. As everyone knows capital flows are the boon and bane of emerging markets. Presently there is a tsunami of capital hitting these economies, and just about all boats are rising. If the capital starts moving in the other direction, they are in trouble. At one point this year the Fund had 11% in IDX, presently it has about a 4% allocation.
PF: Thank you Jonathan and I hope you and all your readers have a profitable 2011.

| I am writing to voice my concern about the FDA's failure to make a decision on the application to make Plan B emergency contraception (EC) available over the counter.
Unintended pregnancy is a significant public health problem in the United States, and women deserve a chance to prevent it. Plan B is a safe, effective, and easy-to-use contraceptive option that will help reduce the need for abortion.
I urge the FDA to grant Plan B over-the-counter status for all women.

'Enemy within' attacks Aids patients
Doctors are reporting fresh complications in patients who are receiving powerful cocktails of anti-HIV drugs.
Doctors in the US say they have found that some Aids patients are being attacked by "opportunistic infections" while taking their treatment.
Many of these infections are already in the patients body. However, doctors had believed they had been treated.
There were no signs of these infections re-emerging until the patients showed signs of getting better.
When their immune systems began to get stronger, as a result of the cocktail of anti-HIV drugs, many of these infections emerged again.
Writing in the medical journal, the Annals of Internal Medicine, doctors at Thomas Jefferson University, in Philadelphia, said they were surprised by this development.
They said they were not expecting the infections to re-emerge largely because the patients were responding well to highly active antiretroviral therapy or HAART and were improving.
Dr Joseph DeSimone, from Thomas Jefferson University, said: "Ideally opportunistic infections should not occur.
"When we see someone who is ill, we 'risk-stratify' him or her based on his immune system status.
"For an HIV-positive patient with a poor immune system and a fever, there is a laundry list of infections potentially causing it.
"When we see someone with restored immunity who is taking antiretroviral drugs, the list is shorter. This new syndrome was surprising."
One of those infections which re-emerged was mycobacterium avium infection. This bacterial infection spreads through the bloodstream and can cause night sweats, weight loss, fever, fatigue, diarrhoea and enlarged spleen.
"The infection was not showing up in someone with end-stage Aids who wasn't taking anti-retrovirals and HAART but in some getting better and on HAART."
Dr Roger Pomerantz, professor of medicine at Thomas Jefferson University said the infections emerged precisely because the anti-HIV drugs were working.
"There is no immune system initially to cause any inflammatory reaction and tissue destruction in untreated patients with Aids.
"When the system comes back, the immune reaction occurs."
Doctors are beginning to treat these opportunistic infections with antibiotics and other drugs.
But Dr DeSimone conceded that experts are unclear as to what action should be taken.
"No one is exactly sure what to do against this syndrome yet," he said.

Incoming ACTU secretary
Mr Oliver said that a motion on governance changes would be debated at the ACTU Congress starting in Sydney , but refused to give further details.
"I'm not saying any more than that," Mr Oliver told The Australian Financial Review. "We will release it before it gets to the floor of the congress. There will be a proposal."
Unions are under intense pressure to respond to the HSU scandal but the ACTU has no power to force its affiliated unions to change the rules governing their operation. Both Labor and the Coalition have separately indicated crackdowns on union finances.
The controversy over the HSU threatens to overshadow the launch of a national campaign over "insecure work" involving casual workers, labour hire and contractors that will push for changes to workplace laws.
Unions want the centrepiece of the congress to be a six-month investigation headed by former deputy prime minister
Mr Howe argues that the divide in Australia's workforce is "no longer between the blue collar and white collar workers, it is between those in the core of the workforce and those on the periphery of the workforce".
This covered about 40 per cent of the workforce engaged on various arrangements such as casuals, contracts or labour hire that offered lower wages and fewer benefits than full-time work.
"Many do not know what hours they will work from week to week and often juggle multiple jobs in an attempt to earn what they need," Mr Howe said in the report's foreword.
But employers will fight the report's recommendations, which include:
casual work being allowed only for "irregular, intermittent or very short-term work"
a prohibition on temporary jobs where there were "reasonable grounds to expect that the work will be ongoing" and consultation with the existing workforce and union before casual workers are engaged.
The report also argues that the national employment standards (NES) should be extended to casual workers, with the right to request flexible work be extended to all workers and not just limited to those caring for children under school age.
It also seeks to extend the NES to give all workers the right to refuse overtime, a floor of minimum hours for part-time workers and minimum engagements for casual workers.
The changes would involve the ACTU developing a "gradual deeming" model where casual workers would incrementally accrue access to rights and conditions now open only to permanent employees.
Fair Work Australia would be given jurisdiction to resolve disputes by making "secure employment orders".
But the Gillard government is already under pressure from employers to lessen union clout and to free up the bargaining rules under the Fair Work Act following a review of the laws due to be completed by the end of this month.
The government has already rejected an ACTU push to introduce a so-called "millionaires' tax" similar to the "Buffett rule" suggested in the US. Unions argue that individuals with incomes above $1 million should not enjoy overall effective tax rates lower than ordinary wage and salary earners.
Senior Minister
The government has also previously rejected removing the requirement to conduct secret ballots before workers can legally take industrial action, a policy that will be moved at the ACTU congress.
Unions are also pushing for a charter of delegates' rights, fewer controls on the content of agreements and extending an employee's right to request flexible working arrangements.
In the wake of last year's landmark Qantas dispute, unions want to remove the ability of the federal government to terminate legally protected industrial action, along with a broader powers for Fair Work Australia to handle disputes.
Unions will also push for changes in Labor's skilled migration policies, arguing that it should mostly be done through permanent migration for workers who are independent and not sponsored by particular employers for a set period of time.
The Howe report argues the case for broader policy changes in education, training and welfare to deal with insecure work, which it says would lessen the need for temporary overseas workers.
"The move to a guest worker model of immigration is a stark shift away from postwar pattern of migration and will only offer the country a short-term escape from the need to skill up our workforce," the report said. While much of the public debate at the congress will be on policy, the emphasis behind the scenes will be on the leadership transition of Mr Oliver, taking over as secretary from
Based on current opinion polls, the union movement is seeking to regroup ahead of the federal election due next year, which the Coalition, led by Tony Abbott, is the overwhelming favourite to win.
Unions also face conservative governments in all states apart from South Australia and Tasmania.
Union leaders expect Mr Oliver will not immediately seek to raise a fighting fund for a major campaign against the Coalition in the lead-up to the federal election
But Mr Oliver told the Financial Review that running a "strong, independent union campaign" was essential.
"I haven't had a chance to look at the books yet and the total of resources there, so that will be the subject of further consideration," he said.
"In my view, the reason we came together and campaigned during the Your Rights at Work campaign are the same reasons we need to campaign at the prospect of an Abbott government."

Big Story
Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Outpost' started by Desnoxvu, Nov 18, 2012.
Deal with it
"We can forgive the Arabs for killing our children. We cannot forgive them for forcing us to kill their children. We will have peace with the Arabs when they love their children more than they hate us." Golda Meir
Bonzo, I have a bridge to sell you.....
So IMHO, I thought said you hated all that republicans stood for and how they were screwing the common man. I guess you actually meant to say you would go with the party that gave you free stuff and to hell with anyone but yourself and opinion right?
''Israel has every right to expect that it does not have missiles fired into its territory,'' Barack Obama
"gaza has every right to expect to not be invaded", reality
Sorry but when they elected Hamas they screwed themselves, the U.S. will not back terrorists.
we back isreal....
If you don't want to get smacked don't hit a bear. It just piss's them off.
and when your camping, you just let the bear rummage through your shit and stay out of its way
bears take what they want and dont give a fuck what you think
Hamas is on the list of terrorist organizations kept by the State Department, if you have a problem with that designation take it up with Hillary.
only because they oppose our terrorists
neither side is innocent in this war over there.
both sides use gaza to taunt each other.
isreal has been invading and pulling out of gaza like its a 20 dollar whore.
and im sure everyone else around there uses gaza to taunt isreal. now it happens to be iran.
30+ years ago the US used the middles east to taunt ussr and vice versa.
now isreal uses gaza to taunt the arabs, and vice versa.
if isreal really didnt want rockets lobbed on it, theyd pull out of gaza, again, and appologise.
isreal is an attention whore. they know they can move into gaza and then get sympathy when the rockets start flying
Palestine will always be looked down on as long as they use civilians as shield, child soldiers and target civilians.
youre a tool.
america has killed more civilians in the name of war than all the middle east countries put together x10.
Every one of those things I've listed is against international law and is considered a war crime. Obama can not support them as long as they keep it up but I'm not surprised you can't understand that.
i dont give a fuk what they do over there.
let them kill their offspring and murder each other in the streets.
when theres nobody left over there, maybe then it will be quiet.
and killing civilians is part of war, every war.
when your firing missiles from a country similar to chicago, how do you not fire them from populated areas?
do you expect gaza to just not defend itself because theres no "safe place" to launch missiles from?
maybe they should move into egypt to launch their missiles, safely?
There is plenty of open space to fire from, I know there are better places than schools and hospitals like Hamas was doing during the last flare up.
how is lobbing missiles randomly and indiscriminately at civilian targets Palestine defending itself?
Hamas apologists never cease to amaze me.
why carpet bomb when so many innocent civilians will be killed?
maybe we should support hamas and give them high tech guided weapons so pussies like you will quit whining about civilian casualities
or maybe isreal should just stop targetting things that they know are going to cause civilian deaths?
isreal apologists never cease to amaze me
You counterdick yourself in the same post... you truly are the definition of an Outposer
no, you just arent smart enough to see your own fail
youre too busy sucking jew peen to understand the reality of war
Irony thy name is Swirly.
you do know Israel pulled out of Gaza completely in 2005, right?
Hamas wasted no time setting up shop, weaving it's terrorist infrastructure into their civilian infrastructure and launching missiles into Israel
Israel has put up with that a hell of lot longer than any other country would reasonably be expected to. you might also want to read up on how the rest of the Arab world has treated the Palestinians, their only value to them are cannon fodder in the ongoing campaign against Israel.
HAHAHAHAHA the reality of war is that Israel can squash Palestine.
Deal with it
Israel has the right to defend itself... But what israel is doing is futile. Its going to solve nothing. What are their goals?
If israel -
Frees the palestinians
Ends the occupation
Terminates the settlements
Gives reparations
And works with a centrist palestinian leadership to hand over power (of air, water, etc..)
Gives land in one large block, not a bunch of tiny islands divided by checkpoints everywhere
Then israel will be morally defensible when they say palestinians are engaging in acts of war. As it stands, palestinians are engaging in acts of resistance/defense of occupation.
I suspect if israel did the right thing, peace would begin in that region rather than more instability and danger for israel.
isreal shoots women and children, as demonstrated by this pic.
if they were as valorous and heroic as you claim, then they would just not shoot.
it appears to me that isreal doesnt have a problem killing innocent women and children, especially if they are palestinian.
you all want to make isreal out to be some poor victim thats forced to shoot women and children but it looks to me like both sides are at fault.
nobody is forcing the jews to pull the trigger at women and children
isreal pulled out in 05 after they invaded in 96.
and then they promptly invaded again in 06
poor isreal
forced to shoot women and children who want them the fuk out of their business.
But one problem palestine has is theyre being retarded. By electing terrorists, they are pretty much making it impossible for the israeli leadership to sit down and work on a positive future for them.
I sujpport Israel but personally I find most Jewish people's personalities to be very annoying
both sides are terrorists and instigators
neither side is innocent of anything.
one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter.
there will never be a positive future.
unless they all kill each other off.
we shouldnt be supporting either side.
we should take ALL of our toys away from isreal.
they should be left alone to kill each other off with their own abilities.
Yep no innocents in that conflict
No they don't, when they fire middles at another country. That's usually agreed upon as an act of war.
not if they fire missiles because theyve been invaded or are being oppressed by another nation.
the problem has been that every move Israel has made to end the occupation - like withdrawing from Gaza - has been met with an increase in violence and acts of terror. it's hard, if not impossible, to negotiate a peaceful two-state solution when one side has absolutely no interest in peace.
Neither Fatah or Hamas recognize Israel's right to exist, of course they are going to take any pull out as a sign of weakness and go on the attack.
Israel doesn't need more sanctions against them, they need larger supplies of munitions and road maps to the capitals of neighboring countries.
Does Israel have ICMBs? If not we should loan a few.
isreal is trying to end the occupation by occupying everything and not giving it back
isreal is trying to end it by winning the war.
palestine just wants isreal out of their lands
Israel is estimated to have a minmum of forty nukes
But how do they deliver them?
Perhaps missiles or bombs on planes or even cruise missiles
They dont need ICBMs since all their enemies are their nearby neigbors. Hoep they take out all the Muslim holy sites with nuikes if worse comes to worse. That would show them
none of those statements are actually true, except possibly the third one - but only if you meant they want to see Israel wiped completely off the map.
none of that land in gaza is, or has been, anyone's in a long time. it was occupied by Jordan prior to 1967 - and they don't want it back now anymore than they wanted to give Palestinians any of the land in Jordan they also have a claim too.
when Israel withdrew, and the Palestinians held elections, they chose violence instead of a path to peace and statehood. blaming Israel for that is absurd.
Yet in WW2 it was the Germans and Italians that wanted to see every jew wiped off the face of the earth. When did you twst that into a muslim and jew thing?
Holy sites don't matter to Hamas, Muslims have holy sites in Jerusalem but they still launched at it.

Small Engine
Small Engine Troubleshooting Problems? Ask a Mechanic Now.
What is the model number?
Here is a diagram
No, this is not the unit. my mtd has a vertical shaft motor. the drive pulley assembly is under a shroud that the motor sits on top of. I think the model number is XXXXX or 217-412-000
I did some digging through my old mtd microfiche and found a tiller with a vertical shaft engine. It was back in the 1970's. I found a model number 217-200a. I looked for a diagram on the net, but was unable to find one so I will try to walk you through the diagram I have. I have no way to get it from microfiche to computer or I would copy it. OK, The first thing you need to determine is which set of pulleys is for reverse and forward. Top or bottom. The diagram I am looking at does not really tell ne whether I am looking at it from above the tiller or below. The forward belt will go around the engine pulley and will then go between the idler and guide and then around the gear case pulley and then a straight shot back to the engine pulley with the other side of the belt. The reverse belt will go from the pulley on the reverse bracket straight to the gearcase around the gearcase pulley and then back to the engine pulley. The backside of the reverse belt will be what makes contact with the pulley so this should be a flat idler with no v in it. Clear as mud? Let me know if you need anything else. I used my digital camera and took a picture off of the microfiche reader. The picture is not the best, XXXXX XXXXX may help you understand it. If this does not look like it let me know.
thats the picture I need... you are awesome! We can see the layout, but we can't read anything. I don't know the length of belts, does it say that on it? I don't know if there is any twisting of the belts necessary. Can you write what it says on the microfeish? or make a cope of it and scan that? Let me know.. if you can do this I will leave awesome feedback and accept thanks

JERUSALEM (Oct. 20)
A discussion of methods for encouraging immigration to Israel from the United States and Canada was held at the Foreign Ministry today, on the initiative of Foreign Minister Moshe Sharett.
A Ministry spokesman revealed that plans drawn up at the parley called for providing housing and business opportunities for American and Canadian immigrants. He refused to elaborate on the plans.
The spokesman also confirmed that a protest note had been received from the French Government over an attack on a Catholic priest in Jaffa. He added that the Foreign Ministry was investigating the incident.

On the eve of its four-year anniversary, Ahwatukee Adventure Boot Camp for Women has changed ownership.
Previous owner Dawn Franklin sold her business to Erik Menegay about two weeks ago and the business will celebrate four years in Ahwatukee Foothills on Saturday, Jan. 29.
Menegay's sister, Michele Figa, has been an instructor with the boot camp for the past two years. Since taking over, Menegay and Figa have co-taught most of the classes, which are at 5:30 a.m. Monday through Thursday.
"I love the boot camp style of it," Menegay said. "I told my sister if (Dawn) ever wanted to sell it, I would love to buy it."
Menegay was a fitness trainer living in Florida when Franklin put her business up for sale.
"She came to Michele and myself and said 'I want you to take over,'" he said. "At camp one day, Dawn sat everybody down and said 'Look ladies, this is what's going on, I love you girls, but I miss my family.'"
Franklin returned to Michigan and is still deciding where she wants to go from there.
"I always tell my clients they need to take care of themselves first," she said. "I guess you could say I took some of my own medicine."
Franklin had been thinking about selling her business for about a year and finally let it go to Menegay on Jan. 17.
"They both have that kind and caring personality and they are really good trainers," she said. "When I went to sell it, I felt like they were the people who I trusted the most."
The boot camp is an ongoing group training session open to women of all ages. Boot campers experience short-distance running, muscular strengthening, circuit training, hiking, sport yoga, fitness kick boxing, obstacle courses and more.
Menegay will continue to teach and has plans to open up two additional time slots, one at 9 a.m. and another at 5 p.m.
"The 9 a.m. class will be for the moms who have responsibilities with kids and want time to themselves," he said. "Then the 6 p.m. class will be for the people who only have time after work, they can come right over."

Set against a mountain backdrop at the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, a two-story domed structure woven out of willow branches rises beyond a wildflower meadow.
If you ever spent a childhood afternoon constructing a fort out of a backyard's found materials―cardboard boxes, crates, or downed branches and twigs―this structure will come as a vision of what you dreamed your improvised creation might be. No mere hut, it combines a hint of Taj Mahal-style grandeur with a Wind in the Willows whimsy.
In honor of that childhood classic, the structure's creator, Patrick Dougherty, dubbed it Toad Hall. The North Carolina artist has created more than 175 installations worldwide, but this is his first on California's Central Coast. It will remain up for about two years. Spend some time studying its interlocking and twisting branches. Watch kids running through its doors and chambers―and try to imagine their imaginings. ―Matthew Jaffe

Jeff Weiss at the Dallas Morning News Religion Blog has a wonderful discussion on Pete Seeger leading Bruce Springsteen and a choir in Woodie Guthrie's protest anthem at the We are One concert Sunday. Read it here.
Weiss notes that typical renditions of This Land is Your Land omit verses about exclusion and poverty such as:
In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me.
Weiss also links back to his earlier interviews with Seeger from the Communist witchhunts of the 1950s to "Pete's wonderful recipe for strawberry shortcake."
And the comments are great, too -- exploring the relationship between religion and social justice. Can you have one without the other?

The English Premier League hopes to convince FIFA to reconsider its stubborn stance on the use of video replay to aid officials.
Keith Hackett, head of the Professional Game Match
Officials Board, is charged with presenting a proposal to FIFA in January supporting the use of video technology primarily to help referees make decisions on goal line incidents, but will also push
for its use for off-the-ball and penalty-kick calls.
FIFA President Sepp Blatter has steadfastly opposed the use of video technology during a game, but the Premier League believes that
recent unsuccessful experiments with inserting a chip inside the ball to rule on goal-line calls strengthens its case to use video replays, according to The Guardian.
One advocate, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger, said the failure to use video was
like playing night games without floodlights.
"The media are so close to the bench now," said Wenger, "when the referee makes a decision, the bench checks the television - is the decision
right or not? That has increased the frustration on the bench, because before you knew you could not have access to the television during the game and had to check it after the game. Every decision of
the referee is on television and is analysed, but the only one in the whole game who has no access to the video and the right picture is the referee. What is even more surprising is that the referee
does not want to use it."

Eric Roberts ain't talking about the sitcom there. Does he know he's being used to raise money for this, or is he like one of those actors from "The Innocence of Muslims" who had no idea what was being done with the footage that was shot.
On the bright side, that woman seems HILARIOUS and the show will no doubt be a blast!

Carolina Panthers team owner Jerry Richardson was released from the hospital today nearly two weeks after undergoing a heart transplant and is doing "very well" according to team officials, Steve Reed of CarolinaGrowl.com reports.
Per the article, the 72-year-old owner will need three to six months to recover and will be monitored by doctors.
Dr. Ted Frank, who has the lengthy title of Cardiologist and Medical Director of Heart Transplantation at Carolinas Medical Center, said most heart transplant patients will require a biopsy on a frequent basis after a heart transplant.
Added Dr. Mark Stiegel, one of the surgeons that operated on Richardson: "It's not something that once they are over a certain period that [we don't worry]. The process continues to happen. We follow these people as long as they are here, making sure they are staying healthy and keeping in touch with them regularly. It's an arduous process over the lifetime of a patient."
A former Baltimore Colts wide receiver who caught the game-winning touchdown pass from Johnny Unitas in the 1959 NFL championship game, Richardson is one of the most respected and influential owners in the league.

How many want AutoTrans in M6?

I am sort of surprised that Speed would even bother with this. Clearly this poll will not achieve anything except that we're all having a little fun doing it. Remember how this started. I was intrigued by several posts wanting a manual in the M6 here in the U.S. and my stance was that I would rather have an automatic offered in the new M6 over a manual offering or at least in addition to it. My thinking was that a steptronic actually befits this luxury GT cruiser better than a manual. I also went on to say that I felt that there is a silent majority (not represented on this site, by definition) that might want it as well. This poll, while fun, does not, and can not reach the pool of potential buyers that I am referring to. I think most of us can understand that.
When this poll is completed it will be very much in favor of a manual or SMG. Let's face it, this is a group of BMW lovers, old timers, traditionists, etc. who are steeped in the BMW lore and traditions (a good thing, I learned a lot on this site), and they clearly see no need for a Step in the New M6.
So, Speed, thanks for trying. If you feel the (predictable) results of this poll support the position that a Steptronic is absolutely not wanted, by ALL potential M6 buyers, as an optional transmission offering on the new M6, more power to ya my friend.
In case anyone is wondering, the single vote for the Steptronic (at this time) was me.... for ****z and giggles, I voted
"luxury GT cruiser" ? An M6?
645 is a luxury cruiser and available with step
An M6 is a 8200rpm carbonfiber roof, get out of my way, high-strung sports machine. Don´t be fooled by the relatively harmless apperance.
That baby is one serious machine.
It even has bumper mounts made out of carbon fibre (not even visible, so certainly not for show) just to bring weight down and move the center of mass inwards.
Drive one and you´ll see: Manual might be argued for (if not by me) but step would be absurd.

Two Jewish Groups Oppose Obama Contraceptive Mandate
It's not just the Catholics that have opposed HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius for her new contraceptive mandate on religiously affiliated schools and hospitals through Obamacare. The Jewish news site JTA.org reported that two Orthodox Jewish groups have protested the decision.
Nathan Diament, executive director of public policy for the Orthodox Union, was even a member of President Obama's advisory council on faith-based and neighborhood partnerships. He tweeted "Does HHS ann. re #religious inst.s & contraceptn insurance match up w/ #Obama at Notre Dame '09 ?" He linked to the video, in which Obama insisted "we must find a way to reconcile our ever-shrinking world with its ever-growing diversity -- diversity of thought, diversity of culture, and diversity of belief."
And: "Let's honor the conscience of those who disagree with abortion, and draft a sensible conscience clause, and make sure that all of our health care policies are grounded not only in sound science, but also in clear ethics, as well as respect for the equality of women."
And: "Father Hesburgh has long spoken of this institution as both a lighthouse and a crossroads. A lighthouse that stands apart, shining with the wisdom of the Catholic tradition, while the crossroads is where 'differences of culture and religion and conviction can co-exist with friendship, civility, hospitality, and especially love.'"
Someone in the Obama administration placed the lighthouse in the middle of perilous crossroads.
In a statement Diament said the "most troubling" aspect of the decision was the Obama administration's "underlying rationale for its decision, which appears to be a view that if a religious entity is not insular, but engaged with broader society, it loses its 'religious' character and liberties."
Rabbi Abba Cohen, Agudath Israel's vice president for federal government affairs and Washington director, said that the decision "only muddied the waters and took a step backwards by imposing religiously objectionable mandates on religious entities and by devising an astoundingly counterproductive limitation on what 'religious groups' are and what their public mission in society should be."

A climatologist recently hired at UPEI is leading a team looking at climate change and its effects on the Island.
Adam Fenech, UPEI climate lab director was guest speaker Tuesday at a monthly program sponsored by the university called Research on Tap.
He was formerly with Environment Canada but now leads a team of seven people doing research about P.E.I.
"I spend most of my research trying to link the global climate models to local decision making," said Fenech.
He and one other climatologist work on the team that was created in March this year.
"Our mandate is to conduct research to help the Island adapt to climate change and also get a handle on what is going on with temperature and precipitation and get an understanding of what the future impacts might be on the Island," said Fenech.
"Coastal erosion is one of the big issues and how things like the growing seasons might be changing, how it might affect tourism. We have already engaged in a lot of work with that already."
The group just received approval from Natural Resources Canada for a study of risk zones for coastal erosion. The first phase will use historical data of erosion rates. When that study is completed in about one year, then work will begin on how the zones change when global warming models are applied.
"It is looking at the risk of coastal residences and infrastructure like roads and bridges and heritage like graveyards or lighthouses, that sort of thing," said Fenech. "We will be doing an evaluation of what is under a high, medium or low risk."
Under global warming models into the future, the results "might start scaring people," he said.
Existing models show global warming's possible affect on P.E.I.
"It follows the current trend it is on right now, which is warmer and drier," said Fenech. "Some of the trends are varied on a monthly basis. We tend to be getting, at the moment, drier periods in the spring, during the growing season, and wetter periods during July and August which is our tourist season. That is what the trends are telling us over the last 30 years."
The fact P.E.I. didn't follow that trend this year reflects the up-and-down nature of climate, said Fenech. It is the 30-year-average that offers the best view of trends, he said.
In 100 years the average temperature on P.E.I. is expected to rise four more degrees to make our climate similar to what Boston has now, he said.

text: KARACHI - Seamer Ehsan Adil finished with 6 for 16 - his best figures in List A matches - to set up a six-wicket win for Habib Bank Limited against Zarai Taraqiati Bank Limited in Lahore. ZTBL, choosing to bat, lost wickets right from the start and barring a 57 from Yasir Hameed and 44 from Zohaib Khan, no other batsman could come up with a significant score. Eight of their players failed to reach double digits, as Adil ran through the line up to bundle the team out for 153 in 39.1 overs. Shahid Afridi, who had withdrawn from Pakistan's ongoing series against Sri Lanka, chipped in with three wickets for HBL.Afridi fell for a duck with the bat, but by then, HBL had all but secured the win, thanks to Bilal Shafayat's 40-ball 42, and Aftab Alam's 46 not out which included nine fours. Zohaib and Imran Khan shared four wickets for ZTBL, but HBL eventually completed the chase inside 22 overs.Water and Power Development Authority surprised Khan Research Laboratories in Faisalabad, inflicting a seven-wicket loss to the table-toppers. It was Faisalabad's only second loss in ten matches, but they still maintain a two-point lead over second-placed National Bank. KRL, put into bat, struggled to put partnerships together - a 46-run stand for the sixth wicket being the best - and were bowled out for 157 in 44 overs. For WAPDA, M Fayaz was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 5-0-16-3. In response, WAPDA made a solid start, reaching 50 for the loss of one wicket. They lost two more by the time they progressed to 75, but unlike KRL's innings, they found two batsmen who stuck around in the middle. Mohammad Ayub, the WAPDA captain, hit an unbeaten 67 - off 102 balls - and along with wicketkeeper Kaleem Ahmed, added an unbeaten 86 runs for the fourth wicket that helped them overhaul the target in the 39th over. Left-arm spinner Kashif Bhatti's third five-wicket haul in List A cricket helped United Bank Limited to a comprehensive seven-wicket win against State Bank of Pakistan in Karachi. Bhatti finished with 5 for 30 to rattle State Bank's top and middle order, and eventually dismiss them for 115 in 30.3 overs. State Bank were comfortable placed at 70 for 2, but lost their last eight wickets for 45 runs. Wicketkeeper Farhan Khan top-scored with 42, but eight of their batsmen could muster only single-digit scores. UBL lost three wickets during their chase, but were never really threatened. Ali Asad led from the top with 39 before he was trapped lbw by Jalat Khan in the 22nd over. But Khaqan Arsal and Saeed Bin Nasir took UBL home with more than 22 overs to spare.

Only The Fat, Gay And Childless Are Welcome At This Guy's Hair Salon
A female stylist is suing the gay, male owner of a UK beauty salon for being a "sexist bully." Natasha Bramhall claims Funky Divas owner, Andrew Rogers told her that he only wanted to hire fat, gay hairdressers because they wouldn't get pregnant and have to go on maternity leave.
Bramhall says that while she was pregnant, Rogers forced her to handle unsafe products (stuff like bleach, I'm assuming) and that it made her "anxious and stressed." When she returned to work after giving birth to her son, Rogers allegedly demoted Bramhall, forcing her to quit.
Other former female employees of Funky Divas are backing up Bramhall's claims. Kirsty Diver testified that Rogers said that "in the future he will be employing only fat, gay and lesbian members of staff as no one would want to have a baby with a fat person and gays and lesbians would not need to be off for maternity or paternity leave."
Another former employee, who is remaining anonymous, claims that she gave birth in the Funky Divas bathroom because she was too afraid to tell Rogers she was pregnant. "Andrew used to say 'I'm sick of these women draining the resources, I am going to make their life hell … He wanted to sack someone when he found out they were pregnant. He just didn't want the hassle," she said.
Rogers denies all the accusations, calling the charges "sabotage" by a group of employees who want to open a rival salon.
If this true, Rogers sounds like he doesn't discriminate when it comes to being an an all-around awful person. Things have to be pretty dire to feel like your only option is to give birth in a salon bathroom, so I hope these women get justice. And after they do, I hope someone makes a TV show based on Funky Divas and the alleged rival salon. [Queerty]

Issue # 3: What resources currently exist to promote informed and effective DUID prosecution, and how can they be used more effectively?
1. Research and publications:
There are increasing numbers of reports, summaries, and publications that deal with the issue of drug-impaired driving. A current list of resources needs to be updated and maintained on a public access Web site, by an organization or entity representing the input of all the stakeholder groups represented on this panel.
One of the major limitations identified by this panel was the inadequate access to the tremendous resource of online journals and publications. While abstracts can be searched by anyone with Internet access for no cost at the National Library of Medicine's Web site (Entrez PubMed; http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi), the articles themselves are generally inaccessible to organizations without a university affiliation, or were prohibitively priced. Open access to scientific publications, particularly those that have been generated based on public funding, is a contentious topic among academics and publishers. DUID is a prime example of an area that would benefit tremendously from open access. The National Institutes of Health increasingly require recipients of Federal grant funds to ensure that their publications become available free online, after a defined period of time.12
Accordingly this panel recommends that:
2. Training
Available time and funding for training was consistently identified as lacking for DRE officers, prosecutors, toxicologists, and judges. This inevitably comes down to money, which is in short supply in this field. Several options for enhancing training were identified using existing resources.
The resources that are currently available are not being shared effectively. One of the consistent observations that emerged from discussions at this forum was that there was no single point of contact for information about regional, local, or national training. In addition, there is also no Web site that collates readily accessible links to, or electronic copies of, the most useful and reliable documents. Copyright laws and high prices prevent the ready sharing of the most current and relevant information.
Accordingly, this panel recommends that:

Dave Bliss' first season as a high school basketball coach has given him a state championship - and raised new questions about his methods, the Associated Press reports.
You will recall that Bliss is the former Baylor men's basketball coach who eight years ago was caught on tape trying to cover up NCAA rules violations by portraying a murdered player as a drug dealer. Now he finds himself again a subject of controversy even as he works to revive his career as a coach and administrator at a private school in Bryan, Texas.
This time it's a governing body for private high school sports that says Bliss is a rule-breaker, and the issues, stemming from an attempt to recruit high-profile transfers, have prompted fresh criticism of the 67-year-old coach.
"The thing most people have taken issue with is the fact that Coach Bliss had such baggage, a school gives him a second opportunity and then, instead of laying low for a few years, he went out and tried to bring in these ringers," said Jason Jump, who operates a website devoted to private high school sports in Texas.
Bliss was hired last May as coach, athletic director and dean of students at Allen Academy, putting him back in an educational setting for the first time since the scandal at Baylor, and it was widely publicized as his chance for redemption.
Yet, less than six months after taking the job, he was in hot water. The Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools ruled last November that two players Bliss recruited, both of whom were entering their senior years at Houston-area public high schools, received improper inducements because they were allowed to pay only a fraction of Allen Academy's $10,000 yearly tuition. It also determined that Bliss forged the signature of the school's headmaster on a transfer form for another player who later decided not to enroll.
The findings led the association to place Allen Academy on two years' probation and suspend Bliss for a year. The school vigorously disputed that it violated the rules, and, rather than comply with the sanctions, moved to another association, the smaller and lesser-known Texas Christian Athletic League.
"Their perception was based on what I'd done before," Bliss said during a recent interview. "That's not me now."
But the association's top administrator says the matter is one of the messiest his group has ever dealt with. "You've heard the cliche 'a can of worms?' This was a can of snakes," said Edd Burleson, the organization's longtime director.

Washington (AFP) June 20, 2011
Tropical Storm Beatriz strengthened Monday in the Pacific off the south-central Mexican coast as US forecasters warned the system could grow to hurricane strength later Monday.
The storm was 210 miles (335 kilometers) south-southeast of the busy port of Manzanillo, packing maximum sustained winds of up to 65 miles (100 kilometers) per hour, said forecasters at the US-based National Hurricane Center.
Beatriz's outer system was already pelting the Mexican coastline with heavy rains in the states of Oaxaca, Guerrero and Michoacan.
A strip of the coastline from the tip of the Gulf of California south to Manzanillo was under a hurricane watch.
"Hurricane conditions are expected to reach the coast within the hurricane area tonight," the hurricane center said, at 1500 GMT.
"Tropical storm conditions are expected to first reach the coast within the hurricane warning area later today, making outside preparations difficult or dangerous," it added.
Moving in a northwesterly direction at nine miles (15 kilometers) per hour, Beatriz is expected to see additional strengthening over the next 48 hours and to become a hurricane later Monday, said the NHC.
Adrian, the first Pacific hurricane of the 2011 season, was downgraded to a tropical storm over a week ago.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by DABOYZ, Nov 19, 2013.
Our line isn't a horrid mess, and we're not losing games because we're missing Brian Waters. Lol.
I believe this team is different because we have the secret sauce to win.
We are different this year because we have not wore our Throwbacks yet?
Don't know if we will with the new rule about the helmets not being able to be changed.
So there is a difference...not that it matters much lol.
oh, than i was wrong, after he went down the scoring has been fine?
Absolutely NOTHING !!!
Why do you guys ask questions you already know the answers too?
No, we're not any different. The only thing going our way is everyone in our division is terrible.
It hasn't been fine, and it's not because Brian Waters went down.
Then what is the difference?
Remember, he didn't even start the first three games. And then he juggled time thereafter.
We've had Miles out, and teams are able to roll safety coverage up on Dez, and we haven't made them pay significantly for covering the slot receiver with a LB. We've had our share of drops, penalties, and missed open receivers. Tony hasn't looked particularly sharp, either. I think the real issues have been a mix of problems.
What I haven't seen is a ton of inside pressure that's caused Tony to have to unload the ball too quickly or throw from an odd angle under duress. The running game problems have existed whether Waters has been in the lineup, or not.
I think our ceiling was 2007. strong O and D-lines. Good to excellent running game, HOF receiver and a QB who teams did not have much tape on who balanced extending plays with his athleticism, accuracy and actually "good" decision making. Once the Giants upset that TEAM in the playoffs. I have not witnessed any 'Boys TEAM that was anywhere near that TEAM's abilities. Just an opinion of course, but all the teams we have fielded since then have not been anywhere near as that group. Age and regression is what I see...I know negative nancy, doom and gloom, but hey, just making the playoffs just doesn't do it. Even if they do surprisingly make the playoffs , I mean, do you really, really believe? Really?
Same team. Mediocre in an awful league.
i wish after home games they would sing "mediocrity and it feels so good"
The way this team constantly under performs can't be placed on one player. It appears that most of the players on this team have learned that it is simply ok to be average. It almost appears to be the mentality in the locker room that leads this team to play so average sometimes. No sense of urgency, lack of hard work and not enough players who have the just get the job done attitude. This entire team is way to comfortable with their jobs. I often wonder what a Michael Irvin or Ray Lewis would do on a team like this. My guess is that they would go to Jerry and ask him to trade them or ask him to fire the coaching staff. I really don't think they would want any part of this team.
What's different than previous years? An even worse defense than the one in 2011 and 2012, I think.
A division title at 7-9 or 8-8 is "backing in"..............hate to break the news to you.
You remember everybody laughing at Seattle when they won their division with a 500 record.........................that is going to be us this year...................thats assuming Opie doesnt blow the division.
Actually the offense has gone south since the Denver game. We have only scored 12 offensive TDs in the last 5 games and 5 of those 12 TDs were aided by turnovers or returns to give us a short field. Thus, we have only had 7 TD drives that covered more than 60 yards in the last 5 games. This is one of the lowest percentages in the NFL.
Basically we cannot move the ball and score unless we have a short field...................Mickey covered alot of this on Talking Cowboys.
You obviously don;t understand. We're building our team, one draft at a time and it will take a few years for Garrett to get the team the way he wants it. We need just a few more cornerbacks and a tight end or two and we're right back in the mix.
If you mean when it really matters on 3rd down the Cowboys are failing worse than ever, okay I can agree with you.
Gee, you must have missed the 17 DL's we went thru this year so say nothing of the rest of the defensive injuries.
Oh no...now you got me thinking? I bet when the Cowboys come out in the Throwbacks they will look good.
But, will they play good? I like the helmet rule. Fit it to the player's head all season long...protect that brain. I hope the Cowboys wear their regular helmets, with the Throwbacks. That will look nice!
I love the Cheerleaders...they are so....nice!
I have to look at them twice.

i have to of these ALUM12N in my 1996 caprice and my friends say that they can hear it a few blocks down the kick hard. inside the car its a nice crisp thump.
Audiobahn ALUM12N
12" Dual 6 ohm Sound Q Series Car Subwoofer
Get FAST answers from customers ASK a Question See questions answers
Sometimes 1, or 2 subwoofers just isn't enough and some of us decide to go with 3 subwoofers. The problem that we come up against is the final impedance and finding an amplifier to meet that impedance. Audiobahn's Dual 6 ohm configuration allows for 3 Sound Q woofers to be wired to a final impedance of 1 ohm or 4 ohms. This makes matching an amplifier must easier and convenient. One of the most interesting features is the use of multi-connect Lug Lock terminals. These terminals will allow for each terminal to have a single connection instead of the traditional combination of multiple wire into one terminal. This will improve installation ease when looking to install more than one subwoofer. This also allows for a cleaner install and decreases the chances of wires crossing and picking up unneeded signal. The Audiobahn ALUM12N is rated at 1000 watts RMS and features a spun aluminum woofer cone and EPDM rubber surround for increase excursion, stability and improved tighter, accurate response. If you are ready to experience some good sound quality then look no further than the Sound Q series from Audiobahn.
- 12" Sound Q Series Subwoofer
- Power Handling:
- Peak: 2000 watts
- RMS: 1000 watts
- Impedance: Dual 6 ohm

- PHAT 1.75" EPDM rubber surround for enhanced excursion
- Extended pole piece provides a more linear magnetic field
- Vented oversized back plate allows more excursion without bottoming out
- Flat spider design provides symmetrical control of the voice coil through its cone excursion
- Black anodized aluminum voice coil former for highly efficient thermal transfer
- Multi-connect lug lock terminals
- 120 oz. Double stacked strontium magnets
- 4-Layer edge wound voice coil
- Frequency Response: 18–500 Hz

Subwoofer Specifications
Efficiency (1w/1m) is not an accurate indicator of a subwoofer's output capability and should not be used as a comparison to other speakers or subwoofers to determine which one is "louder".
Round/Circle: This is the typical and common subwoofer design. They have a round cone and are a circle in design.
Square: These woofers are able to achieve a greater cone area in a smaller space. Because of the greater surface area, some square subwoofers will be louder than a round subwoofer of the same size.
Recommended Enclosure Specifications
Sealed: These enclosures completely enclose the air inside the box. These boxes produce a tight bass.
Ported/Vented: These enclosures have a slot of air to escape from the box. The result is a sound that has more "boom".
Bandpass: These are a combination of both sealed and ported enclosures. They can be very efficient, but require tuning for the best response.
Shallow mount speakers will typically have a mounting depth of 2" or less, while shallow mount subwoofers will typically have a mounting depth of 3" or less.

I was a little leery of this sub due to half the reviews being poor... I have owned Audiobahn AW121T subs in the past and loved them, also a speaker to receive mixed reviews. Let me put it to rest once and for all... these speakers ROCK.
Bare in mind, this is not the case if you:
A> Under power them... RMS ratings are not light hearted suggestions, +/- 20% of the RMS wattage at the MOST is acceptable. Under-powering speakers is worse than overpowering them! I have a rated ~1000w rms in a 1.2cf box with poly fill and it's not even strained (and this is during BREAK-IN).
B> Don't break them in... breaking these subs in is definitely not optional.
C> Wire them wrong... this can wire down to a 1.5ohm load if you have 2 of them, if you're not running a class D amp, you'll have some issues.
As I mentioned I am running this sub in a sealed box and my goodness, the clarity is top notch. It's punchy, smooth, clear, and it still hits very low. Without a doubt the best value on the market today.
With less than 25% bass boost from my amplifier, I hit 122dB without trying too hard. That's with ONE of these little monsters. Don't let the price fool you, this is a top notch product. It looks great to boot! Picture do it no justice. Buy one and see for yourself!

Originally I got this sub a few years back on a recommendation from a friend of mine. At the time I had just 1 JL Audio in a 2000 Toyota Corolla. I was very skeptical, but as soon as we did the swap out, the difference was obvious, and amazing. While I could actually turn my radio up just about all the way when the JL sub was in, I could never get volume more than 3/4 of the way up once we put the Alum12 in it's place. More recently I had it connected into a Ford Fusion, and even with the volume half way up on the radio and only about 120 watts going to the sub, you could hear the bass resonate over a block away. Also, the fact that sub hits bass tones as low as 18Hz is a plus. Audiobahn always makes a good product, and this one is efficient and very affordable.

I suspected these subs were overrated and I was right. Not long after installing a second, I matched the gains to the input such that the amplifier would conceivably put out its rated power at max volume with no distortion. That should equate to about 700W per channel from my Hifonics amp.
Bass was good and loud with quality to match, but it wasn't to be. I had one die a smoky death about a month after the install. The other one probably wasn't far behind, but I took it easy on it after that.
An Autopsy revealed what I suspected, a crispy fried voice coil. Much to my surprise, the voice coil is only 2.5", not the advertised 3". It paled in comparison to my RE SX12 3" voice coil (also rated at 1000W RMS), so the proof is in the pudding that these are grossly overrated.
I still stand behind my opinion that these are great subs for the money. Just go in knowing that these can probably handle 400-500W RMS at best (still pretty respectable) and you'll be more than pleased.
Even with the voice coil charred to a black charcoal mess, there was no discoloration on the aluminum cone; so not sure what the other reviewer had encountered.

These are practically being given away at this price. Subs are an awesome blend of sound quality and SPL. I have one in a 2.0cf ported box tuned to 33 hz. It replaced an RE Audio SX12 (at over twice the price) which fried after a couple years.
The Alum12 sounds better, but doesn't get as loud at VERY low frequencies (less than 40hz). That's expected as it's half the size, and a fraction of the cost. The sound quality more than makes up for that, and the volume throughout the range of frequencies (30-80hz) is very balanced. The bass is accurate and tight even in a ported enclosure.
I don't think these are capable of 1000w RMS for long periods. If you can place fault on Audiobahn for anything, it's for overrating them. I have the one sub hooked to a Hifonics BXI1608D where it's getting about 825W RMS at 3 ohms and it's plenty for this sub. I don't play it as loud as it could go, because I think it's possible you could damage it at that power. I don't want to find out because I have a second sub waiting to go in the car as soon as I build an enclosure for it. With two subs, they should be running about 1400w to the two (1.5 ohm mono) which I will be more than happy with!
It should be known that I owned two Alum12Q's 7 or 8 years ago in sealed enclosures. I later sold them and after owning a couple sets of more expensive subs since, I'm back to these and happier than ever. If they would get rid of all the flashy chrome, it would be to their advantage IMO. There is a such thing as trying TOO hard.

I have 3 of these running at a 1 ohm load on my Hifonics BX2005. The amp itself is not the cleanest being a Class-D, but still, these subs sound awesome. They hit just about any note between 25- 600hz with precision. But, say you want to bump your stuff? No problem there either. These are built so well, it's hard to believe they're as cheap as they are. The quality is awesome, and their strong. You can blast the crap out of them and get stoopid' loud, or tone it down a bit and they sound awesome for sound quality. Not to mention, they look sick!

Toby's face was agape with smiles when he came back, and they both laughed for a full minute behind a laurel-bush.
Around this tomb we shall hold the 'agape' upon the anniversary of his birthday.
They stand confounded and agape before the universal competence of this wonder genius.
The poor man stared at me in silence, agape with perplexity.
With this object I have translated a characteristic passage from the tale of agape.
Every eye was on her, and in the wide circle around every mouth was agape.
Eli stood by agape, without a sign of sympathy for her, or an emotion of any kind, any more than if he had been a fence post.
Then he went his way, leaving Wellington red, agape and perplexed.
Some of the vessels we have described were doubtless employed also in the celebration of the agape.
He looked at me all agape, as if he had been half strangled.
c.1600, from Greek agape "brotherly love, charity," from agapan "greet with affection, love," of unknown origin. Agape was used by early Christians for their "love feast" held in connection with the Lord's Supper. In modern use, often in simpler sense of "Christian love" (1856, frequently opposed to eros as "carnal or sensual love").

Remote problem
I wanted to thank the guys for the info on the site. Unfortunately I could have
saved myself $200 if I would have come here first. Thinking the remote had gone dead I purchased a new remote from the dealer only to find out that they could not program the remote. I have a 2003 525i I started reading this site and found that the gas cap actuator was the cause of the problem. The old number 53 fuse was blown , I changed the fuse, reprogrammed the remote using the instructions I also received here and problem solved. It could have only cost me $1.50 for a new fuse. Expensive lesson. Thanks all
