" Brand: Asda / Type: Nappies "
I am on a quest to try out as many asda smart price products as possible in search of a cheaper shop. When my little boy was ready to go into a size 5 junior nappy i was over the moon as it meant i could try out asda smart price range. I usually use wilkos own brand which are £2.00 a pack so asda at £1.41 was a bargain and meant saving a little bit more!
Packaging as usual with Asda is the most basic white and green logo so your not spending your cash on pretty packaging well who cares any way when it goes in the bin?
Price is a bargain £1.41 so far the cheapest i have seen for 20 nappies although Asda don't seem to have a variaty os sizes it was only the junior size i could find.
The product in question!! right so the nappy itself is like a plactic outer feels weird but believe me these can hold a heck of alot in with very little leakage, the sticky tapes can be a pain as your paronoid not to get babies skin, also like alot of top brand nappies where there elasticated round the sides these are not. These nappies are very similer to ones i normally get from wilko in feel and style the only difference is my son seemed to get alot of sore skin around where the nappy is on the back of his legs and he seemed to suffer from nappy rash alot as well. I tried making sure i changed him as often as possible but still no change.
Overall a good buy but be careful of babies skin also putting cream on babies bum can be a pain because the sticky tapes become ineffective if any cream gets on them as they are like sticky tape.
When I tried these nappies on my 24 month old Son, I was pleasantly surprised to find that they didn't leak and were a reasonable fit around the legs. Also at £1.47 for 20, they are half the price of most supermarket own nappies, great when you are on a budget. However, when fastening them, I did find that because the side tapes had no stretch in them, it was surprisingly easy to rip the nappy, obviously not good. In terms of design the logos on the front made them a reasonably attractive nappy and the plastic coating on the outside offered additional protection. In summary, I would say that the nappies are satisfactory, although my preference would be for Asda own brand nappies. However, I would still argue that they are a good buy if you are on a budget or if your child is just in nappies at night.

This is a discussion on Card Game Killer, 72, sentenced to 20 years. within the In the News: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly forums, part of the The Back Porch category; I'm laid up sick today (stomach virus, I think) and flipping through some channels trying to find something to watch while I rest.

I'm laid up sick today (stomach virus, I think) and flipping through some channels trying to find something to watch while I rest. I happened to run across a program called "In Session".
Todays episode focused on Richard Fortner, a guy who was having a card game at his house, he became agitated at one of his friends and accused him of cheating during the card game. In a rage, Fortner ran to his MBR retrieved a revolver, pushed a couple of women out of his way, then Fortner and his friend got into a scuffle. The friend managed to get Fortner in a headlock, at which time Fortner shot his friend in the leg and in the head. I'm guessing here that Fortner testified that he felt suffocated and shot him in the leg first, then once released he shot him in the head.
Of course the friend dies and Fortner is on trial for manslaughter. Apparently during the trial "no duty to retreat" was discussed, but Fortner was granted no immunity in this case. He was found guilty of manslaughter and though his lawyer appealed to the court for leniency in sentencing, he still received a stiff sentence. 20 years w/o parole, plus 10 years probation. He is 72 years old.
Watching these trials leaves no stone unturned. I believe there was some discussion about whether Fortner always kept the gun loaded in his house. Because of that, the prosecution made an issue out of "pre-meditated", which may have affected the jury. Don't get me wrong I have loaded guns in my house, safely put away, but it sure didn't help Fortner's case. Be careful, don't become too rash as Fortner did.
Card game killer, 72,
sentenced to 20 years
VIERA -- Richard Fortner was sentenced to 20
years in prison to be followed by 10 years of
probation, making it likely that the 72-year-old will
spend the rest of his natural life in prison.
Dressed in a navy blue jumpsuit, Fortner looked
weary and gaunt as he was brought before Judge
John Harris for his sentencing Monday.
About six weeks ago, he had paced the corridors of
the Viera courthouse waiting for the jury's verdict in
the trial on manslaughter and battery charges. At
11:40 p.m. that September night, he learned he was
found guilty of all charges in the slaying of Marion
Christopher Kachnik, 68, who was shot dead during
a card game in Cocoa Beach.
Fortner's attorney, Michael Bross, pleaded for
leniency with the judge, citing his client's age and
health issues. Fortner faced a minimum of about 12
years in prison, according to sentencing guidelines.
The sentence was preceded by appearances in court
by Kachnik's wife, Barbara, and Geraldine
Bloomquist, Fortner's ex-wife.
"That action changed many lives forever, and those
lives will never be the same," Bloomquist said.
"He was on a mission and could not be stopped,"
she said about the slaying.
Kachnik was shot in the head and the leg during an
after-dinner gathering at Fortner's residence on
Cocoa Beach's North Banana
River Boulevard in October 2008.
According to trial testimony, Kachnik started
helping guest Donna Northcraft during a card game
called Phase 10.
Fortner objected, which led to an argument. When
the incident escalated, he retrieved a .38-caliber
revolver and shot Kachnik twice during a scuffle.
He also scuffled and pushed other guests during
the confrontation.
"I have to take my share of responsibility," Fortner
told Harris on Monday, but added that others
needed to take responsibility, too.
The judge asked him what he meant.
Fortner mentioned Kachnik's name.
"He is dead," Harris reminded Fortner.
Bross told the judge that Fortner suffers from
"I am saying he is not clearly thinking," the attorney
Soon after, the judge gave Fortner 20 years on the
manslaughter charge and two other lesser
concurrent sentences on the charges of aggravated
battery of a person 65 years or older and battery of
a person 65 years or older.
Fortner had been free on bond since November
2008 before his arrest following the September
guilty verdict.
Fortner waved to friends in the gallery as he was led
Helpful hints on pushing back and strengthening the 2A:
Even in Texas you can't invite somebody into your house,then accuse them of cheating and go get a gun to shoot them.I just wonder how much drinking was going on before the homicide
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
I wonder how much they were playing for? Sad, story.

Enjoy life in Tokyo!
This place is exactly as shown in the pictures. It is well maintained. The location is very convenient. Hisae was very helpful and answered all our queries throughout the whole process that we have about this place. This place was certainly big enough for the 5 of us. It was unfortunate we did not get to meet Hisae on the day we check-in. Hisae's colleague, Yuko, was there to welcome us instead.
- location
- washer/dryer
- 2 toilets
- need better bath towels (as compared to hotel standard)
In any case, we would certainly come back to this place or try other homes owned or managed by Hisae.
We had already been travelling for 2 weeks and were happy to find that this property was as clean and new looking as the picture shows. My family liked the traditional feel of the place and the amenities were perfect for our 1 week stay. There are 3 beds and a cot upstairs if you don't want to sleep on a futon. Hisae was very helpful with a variety of questions we had and replied quickly. The location was really convenient for us and we loved walking around to all the covered streets with stalls, especially around Sensoji Temple. The location is within easy walking distance to grocery stores and the Asakusa train station. We would definitely stay here again.
The apartment was spacious for Tokyo. It had all the basics, including a really good washer/dryer. I would only recommend that a toaster be included in the kitchen. The neighbourhood had many handy shops including a huge supermarket, and an english speaking bar (has guinness signs out front) with a karoke bar on the second floor in the shopping street around the corner. The Sensoji Temple is easy walking distance away. Note there are steep stairs which are a safety issue for small children. We all enjoyed our stay here, thank you.
There were six of us staying for two weeks, and by the second day, we were all referring to the place as home. After a long day of exploring, this is the place you want to come back to. Clean, private, and comforting and with two toilets, this place had everything to make you feel welcome. Between adventures, my brother and I often found ourselves on the relaxing sheltered roof patio, soaking up the beautiful May weather.
The other reviews did a great job talking about the wonderful neighborhood that's around the house. We happened to be staying here during Sanja Matsuri, so the proximity to Sensō-ji Temple made us feel especially privileged as we enjoyed the festivities. I recommend everyone make the 5 minute walk over to Matoba bakery (just punch it into google maps) to pick up a variety of freshly baked pan for breakfast. We ended up using the Tsukuba express line fairly frequently to pop over to Akihabara for food, shopping, or simply to switch to a Tokyo metro line.
Something that I didn't see in the other reviews was a thumbs up to the hot water! When you have six people showering in a row, hot water becomes rather important. Thankfully, the location had a tankless hot water heater that provided an endless supply of it. When you're bathing, just make sure you are using enough hot water to keep the system heating.
My family stayed here for a week in March, and it was such a great area. The space has a nice separation between tatami room (where two people slept on futon) and the upstairs area where 4 people slept on beds. Take note that this starts on the 2nd floor, so you will be climbing stairs twice a day at least, and you have to figure that for luggage as well :)
The area is really fantastic though! You are right around the corner from a nice shopping street that sells fresh veggies and fruits, plus there is a 100 yen store near there as well. There are plenty of little places to eat on that street as well, plus a Family Mart (where you can get great conbini food!) There is a nice local museum there that is free of charge that my wife enjoyed, and she got some traditional footwear from one of the shops near by.
A short walk away from the location is a fantastic grocery store called Life. This store has an amazing prepared foods section, and they also sell clothing and what not on the top floor. We took no clothing for our children other than what they wore on the plane and a spare set, so we did some shopping there. I would pick up food and store it at the apartment for breakfast. If you want to eat out for breakfast, then its a short walk down to the local Denny's for an amazing breakfast! You have to eat there at least once, its great!
There is also a 7-11 under that Denny's where you can access money at the ATM (its one of the easiest ways to get money if you don't bring cash). After that, you have your choice of easy access to Asakusa subway station or walking back to the apartment to take a bus to Nippori station. If you get tired after a long day out, you can take a cab from Nippori station for about $15, or a cab from Tokyo Station for about $25. When you are ready to go home, you can catch a bus to Asakusa or Nippori and take the Narita Express to the airport!
In the area you will also find a Don Quijote, which is an awesome place to by gifts for people, or any daily things you may need! Try the taiyaki place around the corner from it, next to Yoshinoya, as they make a great strawberry creme taiyaki, and pass out warm mugicha when its chilly while you wait.
Its a great place to stay and a great deal if you are taking a family!
This was a fantastic place to accommodate our family of five. It is exactly as described: clean, functional and with enough Japanese touches to make it feel authentic without compromising on Western conveniences.
The location is highly convenient, vibrant and interesting. We loved staying so close to Sensoji Temple and enjoyed sampling the variety of foods (noodles, rice crackers and mochi) unique to the area.
We would definitely book this place again should we return to Tokyo. It had everything we needed.
I would caution against packing too much. There is not a lot of storage for one's belongings on the main floor (especially if you are a large family). We each travelled with one carry-on suitcase only and took advantage of the nifty washer-dryer combo to clean our clothes daily. Also, while the kitchen is adequate for simple breakfasts and snacks, it is not the kind of facility equipped for full meals. Not that cooking is required in Tokyo. There are thousands of great options literally steps from the home's door.
Special thanks to Hisae-san for always responding so promptly and efficiently to our questions prior to our arrival. We did not require any further assistance once we got settled.
This was a GREAT place and we look forward to another stay!
This area is home to one of the most popular tourist spots in Tokyo, Tokyo Skytree Town, which has the world's tallest free-standing broadcast tower. The area around the tower is complete with shopping and entertainment facilities. In contrast to the cutting-edge tourist attractions, atmospheric Sumida and Oshiage are crowded with people enjoying the sights of shitamachi areas, the traditional commercial and working class neighborhood of Tokyo. Just across the Sumida-gawa river is the district of Asakusa, where you will find the Kaminari-mon gate with its huge red lantern, and the Senso-ji temple, both landmarks from the old days. Have a pleasurable experience shopping at the shopping streets including Nakamise, visiting sightseeing spots on a rickshaw, or enjoying the cherry blossoms during spring and fireworks in the summer.

CHAPEL HILL --- North Carolina was awarded the No. 3 seed in the Bridgeport Region and will open play in the 2013 NCAA Women's Basketball Championship Sunday, March 24, against America East champion Albany at the Bob Carpenter Center on the campus of the University of Delaware. The game will follow the matchup between sixth-seeded Delaware and 11th-seeded West Virginia and will start at approximately 2:30 p.m. on ESPN2.
"Our kids are excited, they're playing well and they are excited to be in the tournament and have the chance to compete again," head coach Sylvia Hatchell said Monday night. "I was excited, I really wanted a three seed because that's the seed we had when we won the national championship. My staff has already started preparing, we'll break film down and practice and prepare for our first game Sunday afternoon against Albany."
UNC is one of five Atlantic Coast Conference teams in the field, joining No. 2 seed Duke, No. 4 seed Maryland and No. 8 seeds Florida State and Miami. In addition to the four conference foes, the Tar Heels also faced tournament teams Tennessee and Iowa during the regular season. Carolina produced one of the biggest turnarounds in the nation in 2013, increasing its win total by eight and improving 75 places in the official NCAA RPI from the end of 2012 (90) to Selection Monday (15).
"You can't say enough about the leadership of our crew by our seniors Tierra Ruffin-Pratt, Krista Gross and Waltiea Rolle. They've done an outstanding job. We're 28-6, we've had a great year thus far, but we're not finished."
"First, it's just great seeing our name up there because last year we watched it and our name didn't show up, so it's important that we got into the tournament," Tierra Ruffin-Pratt said. "Having a three seed is a great set-up for us to have a great NCAA tournament.
"These next few days before we head out to Delaware we'll just focus on Albany and go from there. I think Krista, Waltiea and I have done a great job leading this team and for us to get the best seed we've had in our four years here is something we are really proud of."

I'm thinking about just buying another motor that has a knock real cheap and rebuilding that with all the new parts I have from this motor. I'll definitely mark everything this time.
Well from this post and this one here...

In part to compensate for missing midfielders and forwards, New England coach Steve Nicol used a four-man back line, gave Shalrie Joseph the brunt of playmaking duties, and relied on the leadership of Joseph and Michael Parkhurst, and the goalkeeping of Matt Reis, to beat an FC Dallas team that four days earlier had thumped Chivas USA, 2-0, at Home Depot Center.
Nicol's moves, though, and Khano Smith's excellent goal, wouldn't have produced three points without strong showings from central midfielder Gary Flood, outside back Amaechi Igwe, and first-time starter Chase Hilgenbrink as well as regulars Parkhurst, Reis, Smith and Jay Heaps.
Balls played down the flanks offered FCD plenty of possession, but when one of the defenders wasn't carving the ball away from Kenny Cooper or Arturo Alvarez, Flood or Joseph were stepping in to dispossess Juan Toja or charge down a Dax McCarty cross.
Of FCD's 16 shots, only two caused Reis any real concern. He stabbed a close-range Toja volley to safety with a right-hand parry and deflected an Andre Rocha header in the final minutes. Several shots from distance missed the target by a yard or so but on this night, the failure of Dallas to penetrate a patchwork back line nullified its advantage in healthy personnel.
New England threatened more often, with Joseph testing Dallas keeper Dario Sala from distance, Adam Cristman driving a chested ball from Heaps narrowly wide, Heaps first-timing a great chance well over the bar, and Wells Thompson drilling a deflected shot that Sala covered.
Smith scored in the 72nd minute after Revs had twice overpowered FCD Dallas players in one-v-one confrontations.
Drew Moor and Kenny Mansally, combatants in a first-half incident during which Mansally undercut Moor and sent him awkwardly to the ground, went up for a Reis goal kick at midfield. Mansally won the duel, and flicked the ball to substitute Kheli Dube, who quickly played it wide to Smith. McCarty overcommitted, allowing the powerful Smith to barrel inside him toward goal and shoot low as Moor, who had recovered quickly, came over to challenge. Sala couldn't reach the low shot and it nestled inside the far post.
In the first half, Smith had leaped to nod a partial clearance back into the goalmouth, where Heaps chested it for Cristman to shoot wide. FCD seldom aimed crosses and dead balls at the 6-foot-3 Cooper, preferring to use him as a decoy, and both Moor and Duilio Davino missed the target with headers from good positions.
Neither Toja, who lasted 71 minutes, and Pablo Ricchetti, a sub in the 64th minute, produced their top form as they recover from injuries, yet Dallas last Sunday had beaten Chivas USA without either of them. The Revs had one more day of rest, but had played the second half on Saturday a man down while tying Red Bull, 1-1.
This might have been the ultimate test of the Revs' depth and for a win on the road against an unbeaten team they earn A-plus, which might be the reason Nicol, to whom euphoria is anathema, beamed broadly as he and his team left the field.

Surge in birds of prey on Finnish coast
Finland's sea eagle population has increased over the past decades. Just in the Gulf of Bothnia, there are now dozens of nesting pairs. In addition to sea eagles, the Nordic Wildlife Care centre in Vaasa has treated other rarely observed birds of prey.
Last year there were around 80 nesting pairs in the coastal region around Vaasa, after a surge in numbers following the low point of the 1970s.
"In 1975 there was not a single sea eagle in the area, and after that the situation quietly improved," remembered Juhani Koivusaari, the chair of the World Wildlife Fund's Nordic eagle group.
The main reason for the nationwide surge in sea eagle numbers is a reduction in pollution.
"In particular, DDT and DDE were a problem in the 70s," said Koivusaari. "High emissions affected sea eagles' reproduction back then, and it was observed in the thickness of the birds' eggs, among other indicators."
Wildlife care centre sees population boom too
The Nordic Wildlife Care centre in the Raippaluoto archipelago has treated a lot of birds of prey this winter. Eagle owls and falcons have been particularly frequent patients at the centre, which quickly treats animals and returns them to the wild to avoid them becoming too used to people.
"We have not treated this many before," noted Markku Harju, an administrator at the centre.
The Nordic Wildlife Care centre started up seven years ago, taking in injured animals reported by members of the public. They can be contacted via their website.

Hello Yellow!10 December 2012
There's nothing like slipping on a BRIGHT YELLOW dress to cheer yourself up :)
To start the week of Christmas parties, I received this fabulous dress from Gosh Celebrity Fashion.
It's a strapless peplum dress, with origami kind of folds.
It fits me perfectly, it's easy to wear, comfortable, affordable and most of all I feel great in it :)
Check out more party dresses at Gosh.
So whenever I wear colourful accessories, I don't like to be TOO MATCHY-MATCHY.
I think TWO matching accessories is the most you should put together in any one outfit. For example, you can match your earrings and shoes. Or belt and shoes. Or earrings and clutch.
But DON'T try to match your earrings, bag, belt AND shoes! It just looks like you're 12 :)
Clutch from Kookai
Watch by Guess
Leather and stud wrap by Wanderlust + Co

Bollywood is tempting foreign actresses.
Aishwarya Rai may be venturing out of Bollywood in search of greener film pastures abroad, but at least 16 foreign Venuses are orbiting the Indian film industry to fill her spot, testifying to the global appeal of the country's silver screen.
The recent controversy over Nigar Khan, voluptuous model, heartthrob of steamy music video albums and bit Bollywood actress, has sparked new attention in foreign actresses in the world of India's glitterati.
Born in Iran, brought up in Norway and educated in Australia, Nigar has built a prolific film and video career in India. But, she was deported by Mumbai Police in early February, because she did not possess the "proper employment visa," which is a violation of the law. The controversy has sparked panic among foreign actresses as well as producers, some of whom had paid hefty advances and signing bonuses to her.
The Mumbai Police say that even though Khan is married to Indian actor Sahil Khan, she is not permitted to work as a model or actress in India, because she is on a tourist visa: "We have charged her with violation of visa act as her tourist visa does not entitle her to earn by acting in films, doing modeling or as an item girl doing video film albums."
Khan acted in Vicky Tejwani's Shadi Ka Laddu and Double Cross - Ek Dhokha, which was shot in Cape Town, South Africa, and London. She is the lead in Kumar Jai's latest celluloid venture Shortcut. Since Khan was deported, Shortcut is on hold, prompting Kumar Jay to lament that her deportation has hit him financially hard.
Mahesh Bhatt, the famous filmmaker, who faced visa problems with his South African actress Ilene Hamman earlier, also denounced Khan's expulsion.
Bhatt said when Hamman came to India to perform in his films, the Foreign Citizen's Registration Office of Mumbai Police was rude and heavy handed toward her.
Nigar Khan is the first foreign actress to be deported so publicly, even though foreigners have been acting in Bollywood films since 1971.
Only two of the foreign actresses, Khan and Yana Synkova Gupta, sought to settle in India, both marrying Indian actors. Both, however, are better known as models and video song album performers than for their Bollywood roles.
The foreign invasion of Bollywood began in 1971 when Gambler portrayed the sexy British actress Zahida Zahira beside super star Dev Anand. She was followed by another British actress, Sheeba.
Over a 20 year span from 1971 to 1990, only three other Pakistani actresses, Salma Aga, Zeba Bakhtiyar, Somi Ali, and a Bangladeshi Babita penetrated Bollywood. Of them, only Salma and Babita were commercially successful. Babita got her golden chance in Satyajit Ray's Asani Sanket (Distant Thunder), which became a major hit.
The current actresses in Bollywood are, however, drawn not just from neighboring Pakistan and Bangladesh, but from all over the world, including Czechoslovakia, Norway, South Africa, Australia, Serbia, United States, United Kingdom and Thailand
Bhojpuri film maker Ramprabesh Akela believes foreign actresses have failed to win mass acceptance, because of their alien looks and faltering Hindi. Only Nigar Khan and Yana Gupta are proficient at the language. Because of the language impediment, Akela said, Bhojpuri films are unlikely to cast them, "At least, I am not going to have the role of heroin or side heroines done by firangi actress in my films."
Akela said domestic actresses are also often overbooked and producers are too impatient to wait for two to three years before they become available. Foreign actresses, by contrast, jump at the opportunity, adventure and prestige of working in the world's largest film industry.
He added that some of the leading Indian actresses have a reputation for being whimsical, arriving late on the set, misbehaving with the crew and being demanding and moody. By contrast, the foreign actresses tend to be far more producer and director "friendly" and accommodating and professional about their obligations.
Lakhinder Shah Lucky, a well known floor manager in Bollywood, says foreign actresses are set to become a permanent fixture of Bollywood because of their growing appeal. Of their midriffs, atleast.

The deal with microfinance is that it means loaning the poorest of people – most often women – to fund small businesses.
This benefits women like Tsehaye Daniel of Ethiopia, who can now send her children to school, something she's never been able to do before. Microfinance not only gave her the gift of opportunity, but it provided her children with the gift of education.
During this holiday season, by donating on behalf of a loved one to Grameen Foundation, you can give gifts to your hard-to-buy-for friends and family while making sure that poor people like Tsehaye and her children receive the gifts of empowerment and education.
Grameen Foundation helps microfinance institutions operate more efficiently and reach more people, and also fights "information poverty" by providing the poor with mobile phone-based information and business opportunities. Your gift will support these efforts in an area that you choose, and of course, when you give, you can personalize and send free e-cards or print a certificate to notify your loved one of the donation you made on their behalf.
By honoring friends and family with gifts to Grameen Foundation, you'll help strengthen efforts to empower the world's poorest, and help them break the cycle of poverty for themselves and their families.

Anglo-Swedish drug maker AstraZeneca PLC (AZN) and Abbott Laboratories (ABT) of the U.S. said Wednesday they plan to develop and market a new combination cholesterol pill, the latest move toward the development of more sophisticated cholesterol drugs.
The companies will study the combination in a single pill of AstraZeneca's cholesterol-lowering medicine Crestor with Abbott's TriCor, a drug that has been approved to treat dyslipidemia, or abnormal levels of substances in the bloodstream that are linked to heart disease (extended pharmaceutical pipeline at www.chartsbank.com/PipelineList.aspx). They'll also study a second combination of Crestor with Abbott's follow-up to TriCor known as ABT-335, which is in Phase III trials. They would then choose one of the combinations for final development and commercialization.
AstraZeneca and Abbott indicated both combinations have the potential to offer a three-pronged approach to reducing the risk for heart disease: lowering so-called bad cholesterol, boosting good cholesterol, and reducing triglycerides, which are a type of fat in the bloodstream. Currently, Crestor alone has been shown to reduce bad cholesterol, while TriCor's primary benefits are to reduce triglycerides and raise good cholesterol.
"This allows us to begin studying TriCor and Crestor together to make a single pill which can really manage all the three major lipids, hopefully more effectively than any combination available," Jim Stolzenbach, a physician in Abbott's clinical development program, said in an interview.
Tricor is licensed to Abbott for the U.S. market by Solvay S.A. (SOLB.BT) of Belgium, and both companies are developing ABT-335 as a next-generation version of Tricor. They are known as a fenofibrates.
AstraZeneca and Abbott expect to file for U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of one of the combinations in 2009.
For AstraZeneca, the move fits into Chief Executive David Brennan's strategy to boost growth from existing drugs through additional uses while the company's pipeline matures in the next five years.
"We believe that our internal research capabilities are core to our success," AstraZeneca spokeswoman Carla Burigatto said. "We recognize there's a need to supplement it with external opportunities."
One London-based analyst said the planned combination treatment is a positive step forward for AstraZeneca, since it's likely to open up a market with good potential.
AstraZeneca shares moved up 0.5% on the news, which was released late afternoon London time. They closed down 0.78%, or 25 pence, at 3179 pence on the day amid a lower London market. The American depositary receipts fell $1.15 to $58.92. Abbott shares rose 7 cents to $43.65.
The deal represents the latest move into developing combination cholesterol pills with various mechanisms. One such example is Vytorin, which contains Merck & Co.'s (MRK) Zocor, a statin drug that lowers bad cholesterol levels, and Zetia, a treatment developed by Schering-Plough Corp. (SGP) that blocks cholesterol absorption from the intestine. Vytorin and Zetia are marketed by a joint venture of the companies.
Also, Merck is studying a combination of Zocor with a version of niacin, a drug that can raise good cholesterol levels. Pfizer Inc. (PFE) is studying a drug called torcetrapib, which also may raise good cholesterol, in combination with Lipitor, a statin and the best-selling drug in the world.
From a health standpoint, these combination therapies hold promise to further reduce the risk of heart disease beyond what statins alone can deliver.
And for the companies, the development of combination drugs has strategic value. Patents for two statins, Merck's Zocor and Bristol-Myers Squibb Co.'s (BMY) Pravachol, recently expired, clearing the way for cheaper generic statins. The branded drug companies want to soften the blow of generic competition by coming up with newer medicines that can command higher prices.
Abbott had already been studying ABT-335 in combination with Crestor as well as with two other statins, Lipitor and Zocor. Stolzenbach of Abbott said Crestor was the most potent of the statins.
Crestor was AstraZeneca's fifth-biggest selling drug last year, with worldwide sales of $1.27 billion, representing a 38% increase from 2004. Its sales were recently given a boost by a clinical trial that showed it could reverse plaque buildup in the arteries. Previous studies had indicated that statins could slow or halt plaque buildup.
Abbott reported 2005 TriCor sales of $927 million, up 19% from 2004.
The AstraZeneca-Abbott agreement is subject to satisfying certain conditions including U.S. antitrust clearance.
In a separate statement, Solvay, which licensed TriCor to Abbott, said it expects the joint venture between AstraZeneca and Abbott will boost revenue it derives from its "fenofibrate franchise."
In the first quarter of 2006, Abbott reported TriCor sales of $205 million, up 20% compared with the same period a year earlier.
Solvay closed down EUR0.9, or 1%, at EUR90.10 in Brussels.

Have you noticed I have been giving away prizes after almost every video? Also, I have been uploading a video about 4-5 times a month! How do I suddenly have money to give away gift prizes so often? Well, I have been making videos on the website . The website allows me to earn pennies per view and then pays me at the end of every week. That's how I have been able to give away weekly prizes-I use my earnings to buy stuff for random viewing winners. I just wanted to say a quick thanks to all of you who have not complained about these types of sponsored videos. I was very excited when I learned about this site. I get to earn a little extra and I give that money back to YOU, in the form of a small prize. I will sometimes film using products not related to hair, but I will include a tutorial in the video, as well. This means, you will still get a tutorial. I will use the earnings to continue to give away gifts on my channel! Thank you in advance for accepting my channel and understanding that the sponsorship also allows me to shop for things to improve my videos. For example: Has anyone also noticed I was able to get myself a better camera to use in my last few hair tutorial videos? When I first started making videos, I was using my husband's Eye Toy from his Play Station and made videos on a loud PC!!!! Over the years, it's been fun buying things like a new digital camera, better lighting and then a lap top to film and edit on. But though I spent money to improve, viewers continued to complain about the quality of my videos. People wanted me to get an HD camera. But no one wanted to pay for it LOL JK! You know what I mean. I knew I was going to have to save up. So, I started to accept sponsored videos and slowly saved up for a nice new HD camera! YAY! I am currently saving up to change my background to make it more interesting, but it will be a while. Remember, no matter what, if I give you guys a sponsored video, I will also include something for you to take with you: a hair/makeup/nail tutorial and/or a prize. I never want to make you guys feel like I am just USING you. I appreciate that it's super easy and free to subscribe to my channel, but I know it's just that easy and free to UNSUBSCRIBE from my channel any time you want-I won't take that for granted-No You Tube guru should. This is why I try my best to get the most of every thing: A good tutorial for you, with high quality equipment. A bit of earnings for me to continue to purchase for and improve my videos. A bit of earnings for you to earn some small prizes every time I upload a video. Thank you! If you have ever used one of my tutorials, thank you for making my time of recording, editing and uploading these videos worthwhile. If I haven't met you in person, I hope to meet you someday. If I have met you, HELLO! Hope to bump into you again my friend. Love, Iris Stay in touch with me!

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Sure the big game is later today. Many people have planned their parties for months now, but there's no reason why you too can't be the man on the big day. There are many different ways to throw a party. You can be the big spender, or make it more traditional and cheaper. Just remember that the right food and drink can save the day, should the game be a blowout.
The Low-Key Party: Keep it simple. Family is most likely the only ones involved, especially if you have young kids. You can spend the day talking football with fathers, brothers and sisters. What better way to have a family reunion then to ignore them all day and watch a TV?
The Traditional Party: Call up the buddies. Bring your closest bros over to your place for some good ol' fashioned male bonding. Their girlfriends and wives are welcomed, they will keep busy and off your butt. Hopefully.
The Blitzkrieg Party: Everyone you know should be there. Friends, family, coworkers and neighbors all have to be there to prove that you are the most popular guy in the world. They can all get to know each other during pre-game activities. You want coworkers to talk about this party the next day, friends to reminisces all the time and in the end you will set the standards for parties.
The Low-Key Party: The Living/Family room. Where everyone can be comfy and relax. If you have your lucky chair sit there while the rest of the family fights over the best couch position (it's in the middle in front of the coffee table, where the snacks should be).
The Traditional Party: In your man room. If you don't have your man room then the basement. Where ever you and your dude-guys can relax and be men. There should be a fridge close (we'll get to that later) and a bathroom within running distance cause you can't miss the game, or the commercials.
The Blitzkrieg Party: Everywhere. Your kitchen, dining room, basement and deck are all options for guests to mingle. Then you move into your TV room where your brand new 60 inch hi-def 1080 with digital cable is the model of perfection for any football viewing. They do not have to know its a rental from Aarons. (remember we're in a recession).
The Low-Key Party: Time to dust off the football. Get everyone outside, no matter the weather, and throw the old pigskin around. There's no better way to celebrate the Suepr Bowl then to pretend you might get drafted this year by outplaying little kids.
The Traditional Party: Most likely you'll be in the basement, perfect time to pull out your copy of Madden 2010. If you have enough guys, start a tournament. The only rule, you can only pick between the Colts and Saints. Still in college? Then bring out the 'ruit table, just remember it's a long day.
The Blitzkrieg Party: Do not just have an average game of football. Make sure you have a mini-field, complete with team end zones. You can mark downs using Colts and Saints balloons. Before the game gets going, make sure to take the bets. There is no better way to celebrate the Super Bowl then with some friendly gambling.
The Low-Key Party: Start with some chips, preferably Doritos and Fritos. Then you can not go wrong with some pizzas. Kids will love it and it's on the cheap side. You can get a large pie for about ten bucks, but remember, if you're getting it delivered it will take some time. If you're not in the mood for pizza, then Chinese food can be substituted.
The Traditional Party: Start out with some surefire hits. Bean dip, guacamole, and cocktail weenies are the best way to begin. Always have chips laying around, make sure you got some tortillas for that guac. Then get ready to grill with some burgers and sausages. If you have the time, get a chili going. You'll have to start early, but by kickoff you'll look like Bobby Flay offering up bowls of the good stuff.
The Blitzkrieg Party: Go regional. The Super Bowl is in Miami so you should start by having mounds of gulf shrimp and stone crab claws. Pizza's are no good here. Try frying up some grouper, a Florida favorite. However, you should offer some New Orleans and Indianapolis cuisine. Jambalaya and Buffalo Burgers will show your dedication to the game by offering food from the two cities competing. Finish off with some beignets. They are New Orleans doughnuts and they are delicious.
The Low-Key Party: Surrounded by kids and grandparents, sodas will be the main feature. Have a variety. Coke, Orange, Grape and of course Dr. Pepper. Keep a flask nearby, or it will be a long night.
The Traditional Party: BEER. What else in the world would you be serving? Ice Tea? Grab some Budweiser or Coors. Really want to impress your friends try some Sam Adams. Better yet? Grab a pony keg of PBR. While beer shopping, just keep in the back of you mind that this is America's game, so drink some American beer.
The Blitzkrieg Party: Got Miami Style. Land Shark Lager (remember, early this season the stadium was called Land Shark Stadium) or Key West Lager, it's harder to get, but delicious. Then to really go all out, grab the blender and start churning out Margaritas, with or without salt. Still, you want this to be the best part every. Toss everyone a Caipirnha. The national drink of Brazil has quickly become the toast of Miami. You'll need to get yourself some Brazilian Rum, but in the end your guests will be planning on coming back next year!
Should it be with family, friends or the entire neighborhood, just remember to have fun and keep it safe on Sunday. If you invite Saints and Colts fans over, make sure they stay away from each other, especially if it's a blowout. Be smart. If people are drinking, don't let them drive. The Super Bowl is about having fun and watching the greatest sporting event of the year, just make sure you don't forget the beer!
Tags: Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints
I suggest Spicy Nacho Doritos, if you can find them. And Pineapple soda from Stop & Shop, to protest the Pro Bowl being moved away from Hawaii.

All Coach Dan Mullen could do after the most lopsided loss of his four State seasons was tip the hat to the home team…and remind the Bulldogs what made the defeat so definitive. "You watch them, they're a very talented team that's well-coached, that plays very, very hard," said Mullen, then adding, "It's amazing how the ball bounces to the guys that play hard. So it's a reason they're the number-one team in the country."
Not just a reason, lots of them. Alabama put on a remarkable opening act, scoring on brutally efficient drives of nine, six, and eight plays in the first three possessions. Had this been a title fight the referee would have called it a technical knockout by 13:33 of the second quarter when the lead reached 21-0. The best measure of early Crimson Tide dominance was their first 15 snaps all produced gains with nine of those plays netting seven or more yards.
"They came out ready, they were prepared for us," said Banks. "Whatever we did on defense they had an answer for."
The easy answer was 'A.J. McCarron'. The quarterback showed why he is the most efficient passer in the league and land, hitting his first seven passes including touchdowns of 57 and nine yards. As Mississippi State had naturally focused first on Tide runners, McCarron's precision passing hit hard. And often.
"That's something they might have kind of caught us off-guard," Lawrence agreed. "Their offense coming into the game was 69% run. Them coming out throwing the ball was kind of a little adjustment for us." McCarron finished 16-of-23 with 208 yards and the two scores, and no turnovers in three quarters of work. One of his replacements, Phillip Ely, threw the other Alabama passing touchdown with his 27-yarder in the fourth period.
Not that the home team ignored their trademark ground game. T.J. Yeldon rushed for 84 yards and one score, pacing the total 179 yards and two touchdowns. Even backups moved the ball well enough for Alabama to tally 414 yards and 6.5 per-play.
Mississippi State couldn't match any of this. LaDarius Perkins arrived with a SEC-best 103 yard rushing average; he left with 38 yards on 15 carries and should have been commended for making that much ground under the circumstances. The junior also saw his seven-game scoring streak snapped, though a more generous spot on his goal-line plunge in the third period might have at least provided pride points. It would not have affected the outcome.
Instead QB Tyler Russell had to try moving State on his arm, throwing a career-high 30 passes. Half were caught by teammates, for 169 yards; one by an opponent and that frustratingly was in the end zone right after Perkins had been ruled short on second down. Russell was sacked just once officially, but took far more punishment from Alabama tacklers arriving as he unloaded.
OG Tobias Smith said Alabama showed nothing defensively that had not been schemed for. "No, they just played with good technique and did exactly what they were told to do. And they waited on us to make mistakes and they pounced on those."
The first mistake might have been giving the home team the football after State won the toss. A 41-yard return signaled this could be a tough night, though the Tide had to work for that first score. Lacy converted 4th-and-short on the MSU 37-yard line; then three double-digit gains followed with Yeldon running it in from the 11. To Mullen though the key was a 3rd-and-8 when McCarron escaped pressure and ran to set up the short fourth down.
Perkins did answer the initial kickoff return with a 33-yard runback of his own, though he was very fortunate his fumble went out of bounds. Completions to Perkins and Sylvester Hemphill got one first down, and on 3rd-and-12 Russell somehow slipped a long throw just over the double-coverage to WR Chris Smith for 31 yards. He wasn't as lucky on third down at the 14-yard line under all-out blitz pressure. Nor was PK Devon Bell as his 31-yard field goal was blocked by Dee Milliner coming clean around right end and TE Marcus Green.
"We had a great response, right down the whole length of the field," Mullen said. Only, "We run a wrong route, we had a guy open and end up two guys in the same spot, the other guy ran a wrong route. Then we just have a complete breakdown at the wing and get a field goal blocked. I think that hurt the momentum for us at that point right there."
Actually there was no more MSU momentum as McCarron struck twice. Receiver Kenny Bell got a step on Banks, adjusted to the en-route throw for a catch and raced the rest of the way for his 57-yard touchdown at 3:27. The Bulldogs lost ground and composure on their next punt, as Dee Arrington was in the fielder's face for one penalty and Mullen's protest drew a second flag. McCarron found freshman star wideout Amari Cooper for a big 25-yard strike, setting up a nine-yard toss to tight end Michael Williams all alone in the end zone.
"They came out starting fast," said Mullen. "And the things we've done in the past (when) we needed to respond, we responded to a point and didn't finish it off tonight."
The Dog defense did respond to give up no more first-half touchdowns, in fact forcing three punts. Alabama had to settle on another drive for a 34-yard field goal and 24-0 halftime lead. But neither did State mount a threat until midway of the third quarter. Russell and Perkins dug the Dogs out from their two-yard line starting point for a real series, with throws of 12, 16, and 28 yards. Russell even spun out of a sack for an improbable 14-yard catch by Smith again.
But having reached the two-yard line more frustration loomed. Russell and Perkins netted a yard, then on third down the quarterback rolled unprotected to his right. As Mullen said, had the throw been higher TE Malcolm Johnson would have been open for the score; instead Russell's throw was intercepted by Dee Mulliner.
Even when the defense held on their side of the field, with Lawrence sacking McCarron, the punt backfired. Or back-bounced into unsuspecting LB Deontae Skinner's back for an official 'fumble' Alabama grabbed at the 28. Three snaps later Ely saw the blitz coming and dumped to Lacy who had nothing but 27 open yards ahead. One further special teams catastrophe, this time a fumble by WR Jameon Lewis after his 39-yard kickoff return, set up the last Alabama touchdown. Kenyan Drake got it at 8:14 with a three yard dash to the corner.
The lone Bulldog score was provided by the second offense, against their Alabama backup counterparts. Dak Prescott directed it and made two slick throws, most notably his 20-yarder caught by Lewis on 4th-and-17. Prescott found WR Robert Johnson open for the two-yard touchdown at 4:39.
"I feel we played our worst game and Alabama capitalized on all our mistakes," said Lawrence, the game's top tackler with 10 stops. "And they didn't make any mistakes where we could capitalize." Alabama didn't turn the ball over while State, the SEC's leader in turnover margin, lost it three times.
After the week—or more accurately months—of Bulldog build-up to this specific game, a whipping was tough to accept. Mullen blamed himself for not having the team ready, while crediting Alabama for living up to their top-shelf billing. He also wisely limited post-game interviews to the three senior captains, who were already working on a major task: that of not letting the first defeat turn into a second this week when Mississippi State hosts Texas A&M. Because, as Mullen reminded, "There's a lot of football left to be played."
"Our guys are disappointed, I think they expected to win the game. I know nobody else out there probably expected us to win. And our fans, I loved that they believed in us; we didn't just believe, I think our guys expected. So I think they are very, very disappointed. They're going to have to see how they respond to this."

The UMPC format may so far have had a desirable models count of one but things might be improving slowly if Samsung's latest efforts are anything to go by...
Making the most headlines is the Engadget scooped Q2, Sammy's follow up to the moderately successful Q1. Big changes are a flatter appearance with split keyboard either side of the screen, a new 1,024 x 600 'WSVGA' resolution that I didn't even know existed and connectivity nirvana with wireless b/g, Bluetooth 2.0, HSDPA and WiBro. Other adjustments include an as yet unspecified non-Intel CPU, a 1.3MP digital camera and VGA camera for video conferencing and fingerprint scanner.
Elsewhere the specs line up nicely with the company's officially announced other UMPC: the 'Q1P' (above). Like the P the Q2 will come with a Vista OS, 7in touch screen, 1GB of DDR2 RAM and a 60GB HDD. That said, the Q1p has the older 800 x 480 resolution while the Q2 is unlikely to share the Q1p and Q1's ageing Intel GMA900 integrated graphics option because 1. It won't support Aero and 2. It won't be running an Intel CPU. Could full Aero goodness be on the way...?
Obviously there's no price or release date yet for the Q2 but the Q1p will be launching immediately Stateside for $1,299. Just two more generations and UMPCs should be ready for the mass market, just last year it looked like we'd need 100.
