Wrapping it securely around your wrist is the dual polished bracelet. Brushed stainless steel contrasts with the high mirror polish of the sides and chamfered edges of the three rows of individual links, defined by sharp edges which are smooth to the touch. No matter where you go, Louis Richard can take you there in style and reliability.

Louis Jean Richard-dit-Bressel, born in Le Locle on 22nd October 1812, died there on 10th January 1875. His father was the great-grandson of Daniel Jean Richard, the founder of the watchmaking industry in the Neuchâtel Mountains. As a young man, and without any formal training, Daniel produced the first watch in the region, which, over three hundred years later, boasts the highest concentration of watchmaking companies in Switzerland.
A distinguished watchmaker-manufacturer, Louis Jean Richard's fine precision pieces were greatly admired at the Universal Exhibition in London and especially at the exhibition in Paris in 1855, and contributed to highlight the qualities of fine watchmaking in Le Locle. An official delegate at the latter exhibition, he submitted to it a much read report, in which, in particular, he was one of the first to announce the need for creating a cantonal observatory for checking precision timepieces. While waiting, he had set up his own observatory by fixing a meridian circle, which he had procured in Paris, to the window of his study and used it to observe the passage of the stars, to correct the time of his astronomical clock. This clock, entirely built by his own hand, is a pure masterpiece. It is of remarkable precision and finish. Its constant force escapement is his own design. This clock is currently the property of Mr. Numa Robert-Waelti, watchmaker and deputy of La Chaux-de-Fonds.
In 1856 Louis Jean Richard was named a corresponding member of the Society of Arts in Geneva, the oldest cultural society of Geneva devoted to the arts, agriculture, and industry, including horology.
In keeping with the watchmaking tradition started by his family in Switzerland and Louis Jean Richard's own pursuit of precision and excellence, we are pleased to bring to America the new line of Louis Richard timepieces for a new generation. Avant-garde looks with mechanical and automatic functions suitable for the most discriminating gentleman: this is Louis Richard.
* The Louis Richard Comparative Retail Ticket Price range ($990 to $1190) comes from contrasting this watch with similar products offered by major watch retailers. In this instance, ?similar? product means comparable watch design, functionality, finish, and accurate component fit. With regard to watch components in particular, similar products will have comparable quality dials, casings, crystals, bracelets and movements to the watch models in this collection. In the instance of the Louis Richard watch in this listing, major watch retailers have offered similar product at Retail Ticket Prices ranging from $990 to $1190.

For Your Bloggies Consideration
Categories: Flotsam
We've made no secret of our support for Mickey Rourke's Oscar ambitions, but there are other very important award ceremonies coming up soon in different fields, and as always, we'd like to support the home team.
The 2009 Bloggies began taking nominations this week. No, we're not begging for your support. Riptide doesn't fit any but the broadest of categories, and there are actually other awards for alt-weekly blogs (Nikki Finke has won every single one). So instead, we'd like to throw our support behind some other locals.
After the jump, we've listed our picks for various catagories. To nominate them, all you have to do is fill out the nomination form here before Monday. No, we didn't intentionally leave anyone out. If you feel we've snubbed a blog that deserves mention, please let us know in the comments section. We plan to edit this a few times. Also know there are many blogs we really like that just didn't fit into any of the categories, and suggestions for "Weblog of the Year" and "Best Writing of a Weblog" would get way too long.
best web application for weblogs
OpenZine (an interesting blogging platform run by two brothers)
best art, craft, or design weblog
Moms 4 Sarah Palin *wink*
Again, in the comments, tell us what we've missed. There are only so many RSS feeds that pop into our head on a Friday morning.

Forum List » Guru News and Commentaries Guru News, Stock picks and commentaries Top 4 International Stocks at 52-Week Lows
Posted by: Holly LaFon
(IP Logged)
Date: October 31, 2012 03:47PM
According to GuruFocus' list of 52-week lows, these Guru-owned stocks are traded at close to their 52-week lows: NTT DoCoMo Inc. (DCM), Baidu Inc. (BIDU), Banco Santander Brasil SA (BSBR) and Shire Plc (SHPG).
NTT DoCoMo Inc. (DCM) NTT DoCoMo is trading for $14.30, close to its 52-week low of $14.70, after falling almost 20% over the last year. Five Gurus hold this stock. NTT DoCoMo is the largest mobile, data and multimedia services company in Japan, and one of the world's largest mobile communications companies with more than 60 million customers in Japan and a domestic market share of 46.9%. DoCoMo's revenues declined annually from 2008 to 2011, and increased from 4.2 billion yen that year to 4.2 billion yen in 2012. Net income has been near half a billion yen for the past five years, declining from 491 million yen in 2011 to 460 million yen in 2012. GuruFocus indicates that the company has seven good signs: a strong financial position, enough cash to cover all of its debt, consistent revenue per share growth, expanding margin, a stock price near its 52-week low, a P/E ratio (11) close to a three-year low and a P/B ratio (1) also close to a three-year low. DCM data byGuruFocus.com The growth in the Japanese mobile communication market is expected to be slow for conventional voice use, the company said in its annual report for the year ended March 31, 2012. It expects growth from the expanded use of smartphones, flat-rate packet services and high-speed data communication services which are increasing data usage and the creation of new market opportunities like mobile phone content and apps. DoCoMo's recent share price decline to 14-year lows primarily resulted from it cutting its annual profit forecast due to not selling the Apple iPhone 5. Baidu Inc. (BIDU) Baidu is trading for $107.02, close to its 52-week low of $104.98, after declining almost 24% over the last year. Eleven Gurus hold this stock. Baidu is the Chinese Internet search engine comparable to Google with the world's largest Internet user population of 477 million as of mid-2011. It generates revenue through offering online marketing and display advertising on its organic and affiliated websites. In the last five years, Baidu has grown revenue at a rate of 77.4% annually, EBITDA at a rate of 92.8% annually and book value at a rate of 67.6% annually. In 2011, Baidu's revenue jumped 83.2% year over year to $2.3 billion, with online marketing revenues increasing 83.1%, driven by an increase in the number of marketing customers and revenue per customer. In its most recently reported third quarter, ended Sept. 30, 2012, Baidu reported a 49.7% year over year revenue increase to $996.4 million, driven by a 49.6% increase in online marketing revenues as a result of an increase in the number of customers and revenue per customer. Net income increased 59.8% to $478.6 million, driven by its continued investment in areas it sees as growing in the future, such as mobile and cloud. Baidu is losing Chinese search engine market share to a new competitor, Qihoo 360, according to Forbes. GuruFocus gives the company five good signs: strong financial strength, strong Altman Z-Score (which indicates the a company's closeness to bankruptcy), stock price close to one-year low, a P/E ratio (29.1) close to a three-year low and a P/B ratio (11.8) close to a three-year low. BIDU data byGuruFocus.com Banco Santander Brasil SA (BSBR) Banco Santander is trading for $6.84, close to its 52-week low of $6.77, after declining 25% over the last year. Banco Santander Brasil is the Brazilian unit of the Spanish bank, Santander, and the nation's third-largest bank not owned by the government. It went public in October 2009 and its stock has declined 48% since then. In the three years it has been a public company, Santander Brasil's revenue increased from $23.6 billion to $36.4 billion, and net income increased from $2.8 billion to $4.7 billion. Its cash has increased from $98.9 billion to $168.1 billion, and long-term liabilities and debt have increased from $28.39 billion to $41.75 billion. Return on equity increased from 8% to 9.9% and return on assets increased from 1.7% to 1.9%. Santander Brasil has a P/E of 8.57, P/S of 0.39 and P/B of 0.32. BSBR data byGuruFocus.com The bank's third quarter net revenue was $741 million, an 8.5% year-over-year decline due to loan loss provision expenses related to a year-over-year rise in default rates. Return on equity increased slightly to 11.7% from 11.5% the previous quarter. Its number of clients also increased to 26.85 million from 24.7% in the same period a year ago. Shire Plc (SHPG) Shire Plc is trading for $84.39, close to its 52-week low of $82.65, after declining 3.4% over the last year. Seven Gurus hold this stock. Shire Pharmaceuticals Group Plc is the world's largest maker of pharmaceuticals to treat attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and also focuses on gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, human genetic therapies (HGT) and regenerative medicine (RM) and other areas. It has 5,000 employees in 29 countries. In the last five years, Shire has increased revenue per share at an annual growth rate of 14.8%, EBITDA per share at an annual growth rate of 29.5%, free cash flow per share at an annual growth rate of 14.6% and book value per share at an annual growth rate of 13.3%. It has cash on its balance sheet of $1.9 billion and long-term liabilities and debt of $1.9 billion. GuruFocus sees seven good signs in Shire: strong financial strength, consistent per-share revenue growth, expanding operating margin, dividend yield close to a two-year high, price close to a one-year low, P/E ratio close to a three-year low and P/B ratio close to a three-year low. Shire has a P/E of 14, P/B of 4.38 and P/S of 3.7. SHPG data byGuruFocus.com For the quarter ended Sept. 30, 2012, Shire reported 1% year-over-year increase in revenues to $1.1 billion, and 6% in non-GAAP earnings per ADS, driven by a 20% increase in R&D investment in its late-stage pipeline. It reported in its third quarter results that it is on track to deliver double-digit earnings growth in full year 2012. Product sales excluding its ADD drug Adderall XR were up 10%; Adderall sales declined 32% to $102 million as it faced competition from a generic version released in the second quarter of 2012. In the third quarter, the company also approved a $500 million share buy-back program, which it said will not impede its organic growth and acquisition strategy.

Share Your Seminole Story: When and How Did You Become a FSU Fan?
In this week's edition of "Share Your Seminole Story", we asked our readers and social media followers when and how they first became Florida State fans.

Raymond James Stadium: A House of Horrors
The Green Bay Packers are coming off one of their worst performances of the 2014 campaign. They struggled offensively, mustering a measly 13 points against the Buffalo Bills.

This week the Packers travel to Tampa Bay to take on...
Did the NFL Really Need a New Conduct Policy?
The NFL unveiled its new conduct policy that was approved unanimously by the owners yesterday and it left me asking one question.
Why do we need this?
Why does the league need to put forth something that states blatantly obvious things people should be doing and not doing? Why don't people in and around football have the common sense to not do these things in the first place?
NFL to recognize sportsmanship
NEW YORK (AP) The NFL has created a sportsmanship award to be voted on by league players.
Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the award Tuesday, with each team nominating one of its players during the season. A panel of former players will select eight finalists from the 32 nominees.

VIDEO VAULT & CONNECTIONS- What Bucs and Vikings Have and Had in common!
Its amazing sometimes when you look back at an NFL Team and realize how many stars were on that team. Especially with College football, try watching any 90′s Miami vs Florida State game, and you can pick out the NFL stars on both sidelines!

Bucs Vincent Jackson Throws Military Moms A Baby Shower
Vincent Jackson is taking a page out of Warrick Dunn's playbook.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers stud wide receiver spent the team's bye week giving back to the local community by throwing a baby shower for military moms, providing each mother with over $1,000 in gifts.
The gift bags included diapers, car seats and strollers from Jackson's foundation, which the receiver founded to...
Florida State: New Stars Help Keep Running Game Going
When I was a student at Florida State, I had the privilege of not only watching Warrick Dunn run through and over opposing defenses, but also knowing him as man and human being. There aren't many people I would people in the class of "hero worship," but Dunn's feats on the field and off as a college player and then in the NFL are the stuff of legend and something I talk about...
Falcons Do Nice Job of Adding Defensive Depth Late In the Draft
Getty Images
On day three of the NFL draft the Atlanta Falcons continued focusing their attention on defense and used all but one of their remaining picks on defensive players. Here is a brief look at all of the Falcons day three picks.
With the No. 103 pick the Falcons selected Florida State running back Devonta Freeman. This was their lone offensive selection on the third...
Dolphins, Ja'Wuan James say they make a perfect match
DAVIE, Fla. -- Ja'Wuan James never felt an attachment to an NFL team as a kid.
"Growing up, I liked Michael Vick, Warrick Dunn being from the Atlanta area, but didn't really like the Falcons," James said. "I've always been a player guy instead of a team guy. I didn't want to follow the crowd in Atlanta."
That changed on James' first visit to Miami.
"The interaction I had with this...

PASADENA, Calif. -- Florida State players were more happy that they won the national title, but three of them also celebrated 1,000-yard seasons Monday night.
Running back Devonta Freeman had 73 rushing yards to give him 1,016 in his junior season. He is Florida State's first 1,000-yard rusher since Warrick Dunn in 1996. Freeman is just the eighth 1,000-yard rusher in school history...

Discover Fan Loyalty Poll Shows 50% Are Rooting for an Auburn Title
The latest edition of the Discover Fan Loyalty Poll is out. A third of college football fans would rather have a national title than to give out presents. I'm going to assume that a lot of those were Auburn and Florida State fans. This isn't a bad strategy. If your team wins the title, next Christmas (or whatever holiday is appropriate) you could give out championship rings. Boom...
This Just In..winning ugly still preferred to losing pretty
In a world where we look for perfection in every corner, the Bucs cant win: Except on the field! Bucs fans will have to wait another week to win pretty, because Tampa Bay won the game just a few second into the game with Bobby Rainey's 80 yard TD run that was the longest run of any kind in Bucs history!
Warrick Dunn, Ricky Bell, Mike Alstott, Earnest Graham, Michael Pittman,...

Beyonce's Photobomb
by Kyle Santillian
posted Jan 9 2014 11:32AM
Ever got so intoxicated that you missed out on a good time? Well I'm sure that you and this female passed out in the back can relate. Beyonce, members of Destiny's Child Kelly Roland and Michelle Williams, Timberland, and Jay Z decided to take a night out on the town at a karaoke bar and have a good time. They walked into the bar asking the shocked owner how many of the 17 rooms were occupied and found out there were 2 rooms that were full. Instead of Beyonce avoiding the rooms she decided to suprise the drunken singers. There were a total of three females in the room including the one passed out from drinking Long Island Iced Teas and singing her heart out for 6 hours ! Instead of her friends waking her up and telling her that Beyonce was standing there, Beyonce and the ladies decided to take pictures of this funny yet unfortunate moment. I bet when this female woke up ad realized that she had pictures with Beyonce without actually meeting her she was PISSED!!!! DAMN SON!!!!!!

Would someone please step upSubmitted by akirasmaster (not verified) on Fri, 04/16/2010 - 6:49am.
Would someone please step up and disolve the NAACP....one of the last hate-monger groups. It's like a witch hunt to get the evil white man. Everyone....black, white, red, green, mixed......wake up and realize that there is only one race.....the Human race. Accept our faults and all our triumphs as one. »

A thriller that follows one family over the course of a single night, four people will be tested to see how far they will go to protect themselves when the vicious outside world breaks into their home.
In an America wracked by crime and overcrowded prisons, the government has sanctioned an annual 12-hour period in which any and all criminal activity—including murder—becomes legal. The police can't be called. Hospitals suspend help. It's one night when the citizenry regulates itself without thought of punishment. On this night plagued by violence and an epidemic of crime, one family wrestles with the decision of who they will become when a stranger comes knocking.When an intruder breaks into James Sandin's (Ethan Hawke) gated community during the yearly lockdown, he begins a sequence of events that threatens to tear a family apart. Now, it is up to James, his wife, Mary (Lena Headey), and their kids to make it through the night without turning into the monsters from whom they hide.

Dynafit Huascaran
Dynafit's Huascaran took me completely by surprise. With the Huascaran we know we're getting a light ski, but who could have expected how solid it is? Skiing the Huascaran in-bounds at Copper Mountain, I got no sense I was on an underweight touring plank. To the contrary, the ski seemed right at home across a variety of frontside conditions, demonstrating a smooth, playful character (more…)

La Sportiva Ultra Raptor
The only thing wrong with La Sportiva's Ultra Raptor is that it's not a mid. For ultra-class hikers and runners, this is an outstanding all-day shoe.

La Sportiva specs this as a medium/wide fit (more…)

Black Diamond Speed 22
The Speed is back—sort of. In its original, 2005 edition, Black Diamond's Speed backpack was a masterpiece of light-is-right design.

For fast travel with heavy loads, the pack was and is just about perfect. Big ski mountaineering day trips? Check. Desert hikes that demand (more…)

Secrets of Success
April numbers are in, and they're not pretty
View CELIAMINER's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from CELIAMINER
Wednesday, May 02, 2012
Doing my Flybaby best not to procrastinate this month, so I didn't want to put off the dismal task of tallying up the April numbers. I'll start off with the successes: I continue to do well with water and meditation goals. As mentioned last month, though, I ditched the goal to sign into the work gym 3X/week. The gym is good for winter, but if I have walking shoes at my desk, there's no need to trudge uphill to the gym in another building just to sign in, since my walking route is in the other direction. Now the rest of the results....
These are for April 1 - 28.
Stayed within calorie range: 17 of 28 days
Met daily goal for calories burned: 11 of 28 days
Walk 10,000 steps 7X/week: zero weeks. Best: 3X (3 weeks); worst 2X (1 week)
Sleep 7 hrs 5X/week: zero weeks. Best 4X (1 week); worst 2X (1 week)
Yoga 2X/week: 2 weeks. Best: 2X (2 weeks); worst zero (1 week)
Strength training 2X/week: All! Best: 3X (1 week); rest met goal
Declutter 7X/week: Best: 7! (1 week); worst: 2X (1 week)
New goal started April 22: Since I can't seem to EVER make the goal to sleep 7 hours a night 5X/week, I am in a 21-day challenge to get at least 6 hours of sleep a night. In the first week of the challenge, I succeeded 5X and came close the other 2 nights (~5:45).
So overall, the results say I can do better. I've been in a slump the last two months, so it's time to motivate myself out of it and move forward again. If you've read this far, thanks!

I think working on getting more sleep is going to make a HUGE difference for you! That is one thing I'm really, really adamant about! And I always feel better. April was a slacker month for me too :/ Oh well. New month, new opportunity. Worked out for 80 minutes on the elliptical at my mom's today because of all the stress with my visa! AH! I know you can do it, and don't be too hard on yourself!
Report Inappropriate Comment
You've bitten off a LOT!!!! And I agree with everyone. You're doing a great job!!! Keeping track of things is half the battle I think. Maybe (don't want to do anything to encourage derailing your plans) if you have a few things you're having a harder time with than with others, you could pick the most important thing and make sure to give it extra focus this month. Then you could pick another one for next month.
Report Inappropriate Comment
I hope you're having fun doing all of this! It just seems to me that we make so much more progress when we can align with that part of ourselves that truly delights in what we're doing.
Report Inappropriate Comment
I am astonished at how bloody organized you are to be able to produce such detailed results at all.
You are very very close to your goal now. In fact you are no longer sitting on G and only on half of O. You have not put back any of your weight. In fact you have lost a little. Perhaps you are moving into a more relaxed maintenance like reality. I don't know if this is what you are wanting to hear, but I think it is ok to find your new rhythym now.
And it seems to be working because again, you are more then maintaining your weight.
Perhaps there will be periods when you are really into it, and others when you pull back. Don't forget you have also not been sleeping well. That could be a factor. In anycase, it's nothing that a big, hot bowl of chicken soup (dumplings optional) will not make right. (couldn't resist)
Celia, my love, you are still very much in the game. Not to worry. You are doing wonderfully. And you are going to slip right into that dress for the wedding.
You'll see!!!

I think you did great, Celia! You need to reward yourself somehow. (See my rewards blog) You're not giving yourself enough credit where credit is due. You are conscious of what your goals are, and you are working toward them, and evaluating them. You're doing great on the sleep challenge!
The other thing I think you need to take into consideration is that you travel alot. It's hard to stick to a routine, and meet goals when we are not in our familiar surroundings. Just the travel days alone are enough to throw everything off kilter!

You're doing
, Celia! You tracked your goals, evaluated your results, and made a few adjustments so you can be even more successful THIS month! Way to go, my friend!

At least you achieved part of it, but that than not achieveing at all

I agree that we need to give ourselves more credit for the successes and when it comes to the lapses have a look at why. Bald statistics paint one picture but maybe a reason pattern would give you something more to work with? It seems that its all too easy to judge ourselves when we just tick and add. Anyway that's something to consider. I'm as guilty of this sort of severe self parenting Celia but I'm not sure that it helps me much. Not to let myself off the hook entirely but to have a bit more information to help with the change.

Those are some fine results for a " slump"! You're right though, we all have room for improvement. I admire your list, thats where I could use some improvement.
Have a successful month!

You're welcome! (I read it all LOL) You did great. I totally understand if you want to do better, but I hope you are also giving yourself credit for what you DID do. None of those were zero for the whole month. Maybe you didn't meet certain GOALS all month, but you didn't have anything where you didn't do it one single time all month. Think of how many people have no goals, don't exercise 1 single time all month, etc. You are still putting forth an effort, and it's great to have goals to works towards. Just wanted to make sure you can look at it in a glass half full kind of way! :) I'm glad you are getting more sleep too!
Have a wonderful May and good luck with your goals -

I know you can do better in May.

Agreement Supports CMG Mortgage Insurance Company's Growth And Continued Industry Leadership
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 8, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- CUNA Mutual Group and the Arizona Department of Insurance (DOI), Receiver for PMI Mortgage Insurance Co. (PMI), announce an agreement today that will support the future growth of CMG Mortgage Insurance Company (CMG MI). Under the business arrangement, Arch Capital Group Ltd., through its U.S.-based subsidiaries (Arch U.S. MI), will acquire all outstanding equity interests in CMG MI from PMI and CUNA Mutual Group.
CMG MI is jointly owned by PMI and CUNA Mutual Group.
CUNA Mutual Group will enter into distribution and reinsurance agreements with CMG MI, continuing CMG MI's private mortgage insurance offerings to credit unions. The transactions with Arch U.S. MI are expected to close within 12 months, subject to approval of the Arizona receivership court, regulatory approvals and satisfying other customary closing conditions.
"Our goals have been consistent from the start of this process: Protect policyholders, deliver strong service to customers, and aim for a long-term, viable solution for credit unions to have a private mortgage insurer that is sensitive to, and understands their unique mission," said Jeff Post, President & CEO, CUNA Mutual Group. "Through its significant financial resources and risk management expertise, the agreement with Arch supports the stability and future growth of CMG MI."
"We are confident that, following the purchase of CMG MI by Arch, CMG MI will continue to provide the customer-focused products and services that have made CMG MI the long-standing market leader in meeting the mortgage insurance needs of credit unions." Arch U.S. MI will purchase PMI's information technology platform and systems and, as a result, CMG MI is expected to enjoy uninterrupted delivery of technology support for its operations. With the proposed distribution arrangement, CUNA Mutual Group mortgage insurance sales staff will continue to serve credit union customers on behalf of CMG MI.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Editors' Review
+Dynomite is an amusing prehistoric twist on a classic puzzle game. Although we found the game fun to play, we thought the graphics were a little below PopCap's usual high standards.
Much like the classic computer game Snood, the object of Dynomite is to shoot an object (in this case, a dinosaur egg) at a group of two or more similar objects, causing them to disappear and take any attached objects with them, with the goal of clearing the board. Dynomite offers several variations on this theme, including an endless puzzle, a puzzle that's periodically shaken up by an angry dinosaur, a puzzle in which the goal is to unlock part of a fossil that's locked in the eggs, and a time trial in which users can clear the board as quickly or as slowly as they like. Several dinosaur characters add an amusing touch to the game, and there are plenty little tricks and bonuses within the game to keep it interesting. It includes a detailed tutorial that explains the important aspects of gameplay. Overall it's a decent and entertaining game, but we found the graphics to be a bit lacking. They're not awful, but they're not as sleek and sharp as most of the other games we've seen from PopCap. Still, although we've seen many variations on this style of puzzle game, we found Dynomite to be a worthwhile addition to the genre.
Dynomite has a 60-minute trial period. It installs and uninstalls without issues. We recommend this program to all users.
Publisher's Description
+PopCap Games, creators of Bejeweled, deliver another incredibly fun and addictive masterpiece. Shoot eggs at the puzzle to match up colors. Get three or more together, and they'll blast off the screen. Looking for a frantic, fast-paced game to get the heart pounding? Try the Endless game. Or, wind down with a relaxing, soothing game in Time Trial mode. With something for everyone, Dynomite will have you blasting your way to your computer to play again and again.

DEFINITION of 'Lease Option '
An agreement that gives a renter the choice to purchase a property during or at the end of the rental period. As long as the lease option period is in effect, the landlord/seller may not offer the property for sale to anyone else.
When the term expires, the renter must either exercise or forfeit the purchase option. A lease option gives a renter/potential buyer more flexibility than a lease-purchase agreement, which requires the renter to purchase the property at the end of the rental period.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Lease Option '
The property owner may charge the renter a premium for the option to purchase the property, perhaps in the form of higher (above market value) monthly rental payments. The property owner may opt to apply some of the higher rental fee toward the purchase price if the renter exercises the option.
Any premium will likely be forfeited if the option is not exercised. The term of the option may be any period on which the property owner/landlord and potential purchaser/renter agree, but is commonly one to three years. The lease-option property's purchase price may be determined either at the outset of the agreement or at its conclusion.

A Quest for 300,000
I thought you'd get a kick out of my 2004 WRX Sport Wagon. It has over 235,000 miles and still pulling strong, making the same boost as the day it was delivered new.
I put it through its paces: It tows the three-seat watercraft so smoothly that I have forgotten at times that it's in tow while "toying" with fellow drivers. The two-place snowmobile trailer is harder to forget because it fills all mirrors, but the Subie pulls that effortlessly, even with both sleds!
I plan on getting another WRX when this one hits 250,000 miles, while my goal is to keep the 2004 until it reaches 300,000.
-Nick Smrdelj, Burton, OH
All it Needs Now …
I love my Subaru. It's a 2001 Impreza 2.5RS Coupe. I wanted it to be the ultimate performance Impreza coupe … and it's street legal!
I think all it needs now is an STI 6-speed transmission. An STi 22B wide-body kit would be nice as well.
Thank you Subaru for creating an awesome car!
Here are the modifications:
I'm sure that I can find other parts to add to it, though.

My dad and the sinking of the S.S. Illinois
CKB note: Seventy-two years ago on the night of June 1, 1942, the merchant marine ship S.S. Illinois was torpedoed and sunk by a German U-Boat 400 miles northeast of Puerto Rico. My dad was one of six survivors. He never hesitated to tell me about what happened that night and over the years I found a few news clippings about his adventures in the Merchant Marines. Until last week I never knew that he had written a letter to the parents of one of the lost Illinois crewmembers a few months after the sinking. This site came up on a search for his name and quoted from a letter published in this book. One quick trip to the LA Central Library later, here it is.
Two notes:
1. It's worthwhile to set up a Google alert for your ancestors in addition to yourself.
2. In case you were wondering, my dad and I saw Das Boot three times together in the theater and countless more times on television. KTLA could not rerun Action In The North Atlantic fast enough.
(Letter to the parents of Leslie Vail – radio operator of the S.S. Illinois, lost at sea June 1, 1942)
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Vail:
Your letter of August 27th finally caught up with me here in Golden. I have been traveling steadily since August 1st and so mail is rather late in reaching me. I hope that what little I can tell you concerning your son and the trip of the S.S. Illinois will give you peace of mind.
On the night of June 1st we were 24 degrees 20′ N. of the equator and 58 degrees 30′ Long. about 1300 miles east of Miami. I had just come off watch (4-8). Stopped in the crews' mess for a few minutes then back aft to the crews' quarters in the stern of the ship. The Bo'sun and Tommy (an 18 yr. old kid we picked up in Capetown – he had missed his ship) told me that Gypo (a dog we had picked up in Egypt) had a fit. It seems that the dog was excited and barked and whined, wouldn't let anyone touch him. This was 8:30 in the evening and it was almost dark. I went on in to my quarters, took off my clothes and laid down on the bunk to read. About five minutes to nine the little dog started in again, yelling and whining. Three minutes later a torpedo hit the port side amidships. Immediately the ship's stern went up at a 15 degree [angle]. She started to go down at once. I ran out the companionway and up onto the poop deck awning (stern of the ship). This took about 15 seconds, then another torpedo hit the ship and when I picked myself up and looked amidships she was almost underwater. It was up at about 45 degrees at the stern and a wall of water was crashing over the radio shack. I turned and ran with the list of the ship, diving off and swimming away from the suction. Looking back I saw her sink under the water.
I swam around in the dark (the sea was calm and very warm). Wreckage came up and clinging to this I waited for something to happen. A flare went up about 200 yards away, then a signal light started to blink out a message, another blinker light answered back on the other side – two subs. Then they disappeared. All this took about two minutes. Some men started to come up and yell. I found a small rubber raft that had been lying on the Poop deck. Climbing in I paddled over to where the voices were and found five men. Some badly injured from shrapnel and one with a broken leg. We hollered but received no answers.
Paddling back to the wreckage we laid the injured men on it. I went back again but could find no one. It was very dark. Returning to the wreckage I found the rest sitting on top of a capsized lifeboat. The blast from the torpedo had blown a lifeboat off. We sat up all night – four of us were naked. It was very cold. We talked about the sinking and managed to piece together where everyone was at the time. The 2nd Engineer, the only officer to escape, said that he ran to the starboard lifeboat which was next to the radio shack. He said that he saw Les at the transmitter trying to get a message off, but it was useless as the radio shack was under water in about twenty seconds. Burns, an O.S. was at the wheel and the only man forward to escape. After talking it over, we arrived at these conclusions. The first torpedo broke the ship in two (Burns was on the other half which sank in about ten to fifteen seconds). The ship sank in about thirty to thirty-five seconds. The was due to our cargo, manganese ore. The second torpedo hit the engine room killing everyone below. I was the only one to get free of the ship before she sank; the rest went down with her and were blown back up by air bubbles about two minutes later. In short, it was a miracle that any of us escaped.
The next day we started to work on turning the lifeboat over. We could work only at it a few minutes at a time as the sharks were a constant menace. We had to beat them off with pieces of wreckage. Late that afternoon we got her over and bailed out. She leaked and we had to bail constantly. We set sail in a S.W. direction. It was very cold at night and very hot during the day. Most of us were burned badly. The injured men suffered badly. Fortunately we were picked up by a tanker seven days later and landed in Trinidad three days later. Two of the men were delirious. However, the six of us survived and we flew back to Miami two weeks later.
Concerning your son, I feel that I knew him better than anyone else on the ship, as I spent a great deal of time in his quarters while at sea. We talked of his home and Orient. His little girl was his constant thought all during the trip. As far as the crew was concerned he was thought a bit odd as he was the only one aboard ship that didn't drink or smoke. However he was well liked as he invited everyone who wanted to listen to the news up to the radio shack. As we were anxious for news, his place was packed from 7 to 8 every night, and from 12 to 1 a.m. It was the one thing we all looked forward to every day of the trip. This was against the law for seamen to be in the radio room, and we all had a soft spot for Sparks because of what he did.
Naturally, he was in for a good deal of kidding as it was his first trip at sea; he took it good-naturedly and soon became one of us. He wasn't seasick going around the Cape of Good Hope. The only time he was sick was coming back from India, and then we all were because of bad water. The only thing I know of that worried Les was his wife and child. He talked about them often to me and perhaps I believe he was just homesick. We all were; it was such a long trip.
We had seven or eight days to go yet before reaching Baltimore. None of us expected to get it where we did as we were so far out. In fact we all expected to arrive safely as we were so lucky during the trip. The last day and night in close to the coast we knew would be bad, but out there – well it was all so unexpected. I do know that Les could have saved himself if he had run out of the radio room to the starboard lifeboat. It would have taken him only a few seconds. There was where the 2nd Eng. went. Be apparently he chose to stay by the radio and tried to get a message off before the ship went under.
I wish I could tell you more about your son but this is about all I know. I do know that I will never forget Les and I know none of the other five survivors will.
I expect to leave for San Francisco within the next ten days for another ship. This time Australia. The work your son gave his life for is the most important work in the war. None of us want to die, but we don't want any American soldier to die either because he didn't have that bullet to fire, or that plane to fly, or that oil or gasoline. So we all go back, knowing it has to be done, and then we carry food and goods to build instead of destroy – safely.
Goodbye and our deepest sympathy,

Austin Psych Fest 2014 – What we saw
The Warlocks at the Thursday kickoff party.
La Femme. Had vaguely heard of them before, but didn't know just how great they are live. I loved that they stayed in character throughout the weekend.
The Zombies
Barn Owl. Puny human phones can't capture just how huge their sound was
Zombie Zombie. Total highlight of the fest.
Bardo Pond
Moon Duo
Mono. They don't play the US frequently, but worth all effort to see.
The Brian Jonestown Massacre
Kikagaku Moyo. We were just looking to sit down by the river and take a break. I had no clue who they were, but mid-way through their set you could just feel it: these guys are, well, kicking ass. Standing ovation at the end completely spontaneous and well-deserved. So intense, they play the sitar standing up.
Lorelle Meets The Obsolete
Joel Gion & The Primary Colours
Loop. Pretty much the reason for going to Psych Fest this year.

Case | HBS Case Collection | December 2012 (Revised April 2013) Greencore David E. Bell and Natalie Kindred Patrick Coveney, CEO of Greencore, one of the top producers of private label prepared foods sold through UK grocery retailers, was assessing Greencore's growth options. Growth potential was limited in the UK, a mature market in which retailers were unlikely to grant much greater market share to Greencore or any of its competitors. In the U.S., where Greencore had struggled to gain traction since its initial entry in 2008, the market for fresh, chilled prepared foods was far less developed. Can Greencore translate its success in the UK to the U.S.? Should Coveney focus on developing the U.S. market or on maximizing Greencore's position in the UK? Keywords: Agribusiness; Agriculture and Agribusiness Industry; United Kingdom; United States; Citation:Bell, David E., and Natalie Kindred. "Greencore."

Case | HBS Case Collection | December 2014 JBS David E. Bell JBS is a Brazilian protein company that started in beef, but has quickly expanded into pork and chicken, and around the world. The company has many critics who say it has expanded too quickly and that it is overextended financially. The case allows the reader to form their own opinion and consider whether the success/failure of the company is due to the personal style of the CEO, Wesley Batista. A current issue is the recent expansion of the company into value-added protein products in a division called JBS Foods.

Case | HBS Case Collection | December 2014 Louis Dreyfus Commodities David E. Bell Louis Dreyfus Commodities (LDC or Dreyfus) is the D of the ABCD grain-trading giants. The case describes how their business works and details the strategy by which management turned the company around in recent years. The case presents a number of issues facing the company: a sense of volatility in grain markets is getting lower, recent attempts by China to forward-integrate into grain procurement, and changes in ownership.
