while they both make some fantastic offerings, blancpain probably loses out to JLC much of the time, and breguet to ALS, PP, AP..... similar price points in general i think, though i have not checked blancpain prices in a while.

however, if i was a real collector, they would both have real representation by me.post #15516 of 4831211/15/12 at 10:45pmBlancpain is more expensive than. And for some model, with very similar function, blancpain can be 3k more expensive as far as i know.
JLC represent better value but I like Blancpain's design. As for quality I heard JLC is better.
For breguet, tourbillon is the best but it's $$$$$. I think breguet is better than AP. Sorry but I think most AP are ugly especially the royal oak, looks like casio.
Yes breguet lose to VC, PP, ALS. I actually german watches more than swiss.post #15517 of 4831211/15/12 at 10:45pm

Its really difficult to find a brand that exceed the finishing standards of Lange. Whether you like the watch or their name on the dial is an entirely different matter. Journe makes a beautiful watch very low production numbers. However the few people I've met that owned them said they were terribly unreliable and had to undergo frequent repairs, which detracted from the ownership experience.
I've owned and sold two Journes (chronometre souverain, octa calendrier), and both of them required a significant factory overhaul. I like the Journe design as a counterweight to the more stark dials of Lange, but can't imagine ever picking one up again.Quote:

I came here to say exactly what has already been said
I'm one of those people who chose JLC over BPV--buying the JLC Master Moon 39 over the Blancpain Villeret--for a number of reasons (in no particular order):
1. Case size. My wife did not like the wrist presence on the BPV at all. Said it looked like an "old man watch." I dunno how much a diff 37 to 39mm makes, but there you have it.
2. As andrewgreg said, JLC represents better value, and overall has a better reputation
3. the boldness of the stripped down minimalism on the JLC, won out over the busyness of the BPV (tho I too love the moon on the BPV)
Sidenote: I too dislike the Royal Oak, but the bracelet is beautiful. Dare I say the bracelet is more beautiful than the watch.post #15522 of 4831211/16/12 at 7:05am

That was the point of my question. I like the design of the explorer dial, generally, but prefer a smaller size. That is why I was considering an Air King, which is smaller but has a similar dial. And also why I asked about finding a 36mm Explorer
Have I mentioned that I don't need another watch? I think I have.post #15524 of 4831211/16/12 at 7:32am

Blancpain makes a good quality product, but its hard to say what their niche is, they are largely overshadowed by other companies including its sister company Breguet. For years they made watches that were nice like the 2100 but it had no real impact or presence. Breguet's dress watches are known for their amazing guilloche, they invented the tourbillon, and most watch people know the Type XX. Among major companies (I mean non-independents ) Lange and Patek are largely considered to have the finest finishing, and Patek has better resale and collectability than most watches. Until about 50 years ago VC was considered the top swiss brand, they are credited with pioneering the use of uniformity of parts/machinery in watches, and have tremendous history as the oldest continuously opperating watch company. AP created the genre of luxury sports watches with the Royal Oak, and are known for using unusual matterials in their watches such as tantalum, alacrite, forged carbon, and although I don't care for the Offshores they helped bring forward the trend of larger watches. Then there is JLC, which has lower starting price point, great quality, and is considered a tremendous value. Blancpain makes a great product, but they seem to be in the background of the watch world (sort of like GP) and not really a name or brand that competes directly with Lange, PP, AP, VC, or Breguet...even if they make watches that are in in the same price range of the other brands. I've looked at BPs before, and although they make a good product, I find that there are offerings from other brands that are higher up on my "Must haves" list.Quote:
As for whether Breguet is better than AP, it would depend on what you are comparing. As a general statement, I am not sure I'd agree. As for the RO, its a very polarizing watch. People love it, or hate it. Clearly one can see where you stand. However, saying it looks like a Casio...you start to lose some credibility or you need stronger prescription glasses. If you said it resembled a GP Laureato, Rolex Oysterquartz, IWC SL Jumbo Ingenuire...I'd say yes on some level it does, although the RO was the original and the others followed borrowing various styling elements of the RO. Like it or hate it it created the luxury sports watch market which other companies including PP, VC, GP, IWC, and others have jumped into with their own offering that are similar to the RO.Return HomeBack to Forum: Classic Menswear

Johnny Depp is perhaps one of the most versatile actors of his day and age in Hollywood.He was born John Christopher Depp II in Owensboro, Kentucky, on June 9, 1963, to Betty Sue (Wells), who workedJohnny Depp is perhaps one of the most versatile actors of his day and age in Hollywood.He was born John Christopher Depp II in Owensboro, Kentucky, on June 9, 1963, to Betty Sue (Wells), who worked as a waitress, and John Christopher Depp, a civil engineer.Depp was raised in Florida. He dropped out of school when he was 15, and fronted a series of music-garage bands, including one named 'The Kids'. However, it was when he married Lori Anne Allison (Lori A. Depp) that he took up the job of being a ballpoint-pen salesman to support himself and his wife. A visit to Los Angeles, California, with his wife, however, happened to be a blessing in disguise, when he met up with actor Nicolas Cage, who advised him to turn to acting, which culminated in Depp's film debut in the low-budget horror film, Nightmare - Mörderische Träume (1984), where he played a teenager who falls prey to dream-stalking demon Freddy Krueger.In 1987 he shot to stardom when he replaced Jeff Yagher in the role of undercover cop Tommy Hanson in the popular TV series 21 Jump Street - Tatort Klassenzimmer (1987).In 1990, after numerous roles in teen-oriented films, his first of a handful of great collaborations with director Tim Burton came about when Depp played the title role in Edward mit den Scherenhänden (1990). Following the film's success, Depp carved a niche for himself as a serious, somewhat dark, idiosyncratic performer, consistently selecting roles that surprised critics and audiences alike. He continued to gain critical acclaim and increasing popularity by appearing in many features before re-joining with Burton in the lead role of Ed Wood (1994). In 1997 he played an undercover FBI agent in the fact-based film Donnie Brasco (1997), opposite Al Pacino; in 1998 he appeared in Angst und Schrecken in Las Vegas (1998), directed by Terry Gilliam; and then, in 1999, he appeared in the sci-fi/horror film Die Frau des Astronauten (1999). The same year he teamed up again with Burton in Sleepy Hollow (1999), brilliantly portraying Ichabod Crane.Depp has played many characters in his career, including another fact-based one, Insp. Fred Abberline in From Hell (2001). He stole the show from screen greats such as Antonio Banderas in the finale to Robert Rodriguez's "mariachi" trilogy, Irgendwann in Mexico (2003). In that same year he starred in the marvelous family blockbuster Fluch der Karibik (2003), playing a character that only the likes of Depp could pull off: the charming, conniving and roguish Capt. Jack Sparrow. The film's enormous success has opened several doors for his career and included an Oscar nomination. He appeared as the central character in the Stephen King-based movie, Das geheime Fenster (2004); as the kind-hearted novelist James Barrie in the factually-based Wenn Träume fliegen lernen (2004), where he co-starred with Kate Winslet; and Rochester in the British film, The Libertine (2004). Depp collaborated again with Burton in a screen adaptation of Roald Dahl's novel, Charlie und die Schokoladenfabrik (2005), and later in Alice im Wunderland (2010) and Dark Shadows (2012).Off-screen, Depp has dated several female celebrities, and has been engaged to Sherilyn Fenn, Jennifer Grey, Winona Ryder and Kate Moss. He was married to Lori Anne Allison in 1983 but they divorced her in 1985. Depp has two children with French singer-actress Vanessa Paradis: Lily-Rose Melody, born in 1999 and Jack, born in 2002. ...

|1–3 weeks following exposure[1]
|Lassa virus[1]
|Risk factors
|exposure to rodents in West Africa[1]
|Differential diagnosis

|supportive, ribavirin[1]
|~400,000 cases per year[2]
|~5,000 deaths per year[2]
Lassa fever, also known as Lassa hemorrhagic fever (LHF), is a type of viral hemorrhagic fever caused by the Lassa virus. Many of those infected by the virus do not develop symptoms. When symptoms occur they typically include fever, weakness, headaches, vomiting, and muscle pains. Less commonly there may be bleeding from the mouth or gastrointestinal tract. The risk of death once infected is about one percent and frequently occurs within two weeks of the onset of symptoms. Among those who survive about a quarter have deafness which improves over time in about half.[1]
The disease is usually initially spread to people via contact with the urine or feces of an infected multimammate rat. Spread can then occur via direct contact between people. Diagnosis based on symptoms is difficult. Confirmation is by laboratory testing to detect the viruses RNA, antibodies to the virus, or the virus itself in cell culture. Other conditions that may present similarly include Ebola fever, malaria, typhoid fever, and yellow fever. The Lassa virus is a member of the Arenaviridae virus family.[1]
There is no vaccine.[3] Prevention requires isolating those who are infected and decreasing contact with the rats. Efforts include having a cat to hunt vermin, and storing food in sealed containers. Treatment is directed at addressing dehydration and improving symptoms. The antiviral medication, ribavirin may be useful when given early. These measures improve outcomes.[1]
Descriptions of the disease date from the 1950s. The virus was first described in 1969 from a case in the town of Lassa, in Borno State, Nigeria.[1][4] Lassa fever occurs relatively commonly in West Africa including the countries of Nigeria, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Ghana.[1][2] There are about 300,000 to 500,000 cases which result in 5,000 deaths a year.[2]
Signs and symptoms[edit]
In 80% of cases, the disease is asymptomatic, but in the remaining 20%, it takes a complicated course. The virus is estimated to be responsible for about 5,000 deaths annually. The fever accounts for up to one-third of deaths in hospitals within the affected regions and 10 to 16% of total cases.[5]
After an incubation period of six to 21 days, an acute illness with multiorgan involvement develops. Nonspecific symptoms include fever, facial swelling, and muscle fatigue, as well as conjunctivitis and mucosal bleeding. The other symptoms arising from the affected organs are:
- Gastrointestinal tract
- Nausea
- Vomiting (bloody)
- Diarrhea (bloody)
- Stomach ache
- Constipation
- Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing)
- Hepatitis
- Cardiovascular system
- Pericarditis
- Hypertension
- Hypotension
- Tachycardia (abnormally high heart rate)
- Respiratory tract
- Cough
- Chest pain
- Dyspnoea
- Pharyngitis
- Pleuritis
- Nervous system
- Encephalitis
- Meningitis
- Unilateral or bilateral hearing deficit
- Seizures
Clinically, Lassa fever infections are difficult to distinguish from other viral hemorrhagic fevers such as Ebola and Marburg, and from more common febrile illnesses such as malaria.
The virus is excreted in urine for 3–9 weeks and in semen for three months.
Lassa virus is transmitted from animals, specifically it spreads to humans from a rodent known as a natal multimammate mouse (Mastomys natalensis).[6] This is probably the most common mouse in equatorial Africa, ubiquitous in human households and eaten as a delicacy in some areas.[6][7] It is also called the natal multimammate rat or African rat.
In these rodents, infection is in a persistent asymptomatic state. The virus is probably transmitted by contact with the feces or urine of animals accessing grain stores in residences.[7]
Infection in humans typically occurs by exposure to animal excrement through the respiratory or gastrointestinal tracts. Inhalation of tiny particles of infectious material (aerosol) is believed to be the most significant means of exposure. It is possible to acquire the infection through broken skin or mucous membranes that are directly exposed to infectious material. Transmission from person to person has also been established, presenting a disease risk for healthcare workers. The virus is still present in the urine for between three and nine weeks after infection, and it can be transmitted in semen for up to three months after becoming infected.[8][9]
A range of laboratory investigations are performed, where possible, to diagnose the disease and assess its course and complications. An ELISA test for antigen and IgM antibodies give 88% sensitivity and 90% specificity for the presence of the infection. Other laboratory findings in Lassa fever include lymphopenia (low white blood cell count), thrombocytopenia (low platelets), and elevated aspartate aminotransferase levels in the blood. Lassa fever virus can also be found in cerebrospinal fluid.[10] In West Africa, where Lassa is most prevalent, it is difficult for doctors to diagnose due to the absence of proper equipment to perform tests.[11] In cases with abdominal pain, in countries where Lassa is common, Lassa fever is often misdiagnosed for example as appendicitis and intussusception which delays treatment with the antiviral ribavirin.[12]
Control of the Mastomys rodent population is impractical, so measures are limited to keeping rodents out of homes and food supplies, as well as maintaining effective personal hygiene. Gloves, masks, laboratory coats, and goggles are advised while in contact with an infected person. These issues in many countries are monitored by a department of public health. In less developed countries, these types of organizations may not have the necessary means to effectively control outbreaks.
Researchers at the USAMRIID facility, where military biologists study infectious diseases, have a promising vaccine candidate.[13] They have developed a replication-competent vaccine against Lassa virus based on recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus vectors expressing the Lassa virus glycoprotein. After a single intramuscular injection, test primates have survived lethal challenge, while showing no clinical symptoms.[14]
All persons suspected of Lassa fever infection should be admitted to isolation facilities and their body fluids and excreta properly disposed of.
Early and aggressive treatment using ribavirin was pioneered by Joe McCormick in 1979. After extensive testing, early administration was determined to be critical to success. Additionally, ribavirin is almost twice as effective when given intravenously as when taken by mouth.[15] Ribavirin is a prodrug which appears to interfere with viral replication by inhibiting RNA-dependent nucleic acid synthesis, although the precise mechanism of action is disputed.[16] The drug is relatively inexpensive, but the cost of the drug is still very high for many of those in West African states. Fluid replacement, blood transfusion, and fighting hypotension are usually required. Intravenous interferon therapy has also been used.[citation needed]
When Lassa fever infects pregnant women late in their third trimester, induction of delivery is necessary for the mother to have a good chance of survival.[17] This is because the virus has an affinity for the placenta and other highly vascular tissues. The fetus has only a one in ten chance of survival no matter what course of action is taken; hence, the focus is always on saving the life of the mother.[18] Following delivery, women should receive the same treatment as other Lassa fever patients.
Work on a vaccine is continuing, with multiple approaches showing positive results in animal trials.[citation needed]
About 15-20% of hospitalized Lassa fever patients will die from the illness. The overall mortality rate is estimated to be 1%, but during epidemics, mortality can climb as high as 50%. The mortality rate is greater than 80% when it occurs in pregnant women during their third trimester; fetal death also occurs in nearly all those cases. Abortion decreases the risk of death to the mother.[19] Some survivors experience lasting effects of the disease,[20] and can include partial or complete deafness.[1]
Because of treatment with ribavirin, fatality rates are continuing to decline.[citation needed]
Around 300,000 people are infected annually, with up to 5,000 deaths per year.[21]
It is relatively common in parts of West Africa where the multimammate rat is common, particularly Guinea (Kindia, Faranah and Nzerekore regions), Liberia (mostly in Lofa, Bong, and Nimba counties), Nigeria (everywhere) and Sierra Leone (typically from Kenema and Kailahun districts). It is present but less common in the Central African Republic, Mali, Senegal and other nearby countries, and less common yet in Ghana and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Benin had its first confirmed cases in 2014, and Togo had its first confirmed cases in 2016.[8]
The Lassa virus is one of several viruses identified by WHO as a likely cause of a future epidemic. They therefore list it for urgent research and development to develop new diagnostic tests, vaccines, and medicines.[22][23]

This specialty shop sells locally made perfumes, soaps and lotions.
Staff were helpful and friendly, stocked a good range of products, also had a good knowledge of those products.
Great place to find gifts. Good variety of soaps, creams, jewellery and crafts. A bit hard to find as looks a bit like a factory with no shop and not worth going into. But it is worth the effort.
I always like to visit the perfume factory when in Rarotonga. they have great perfumes for men and omen at good prices, and the unique scents reflect the tropical south pacific that you cannot get in main stream shops at home.
Great place to buy for yourself or presents. The range is exceptional a must do place to visit add to your list.
It is always a pleasure to go to the perfume factory. They have the most amazing smells which they put into oils, soaps and lotions. This is a must when visiting raro.
There was no visible tours or information re the factory and there was no information available to take home for the gifts. The items were lovely and fragrant and high quality with reasonable prices however we would not have visited there again.
This gift shop near the airport has a wide variety of fragrant gifts for yourself or to take home. The prices were reasonable. The staff make many of their own products so are helpful and knowledgeable.
I wouldnt go back again, but it was a nice drive through the back roads finding the place, always good to see how the locals live.
Well that is what it is for, there is no indication of being able to see the factory or it's workings, just a shop selling product. Which was nice enough and the young lady was very helpful and guided us re taking stuff back to NZ and what to declare etc. But there was no offer of telling us about...
Lovely candles oils and lotions, a great place for buying gifts. Staff very friendly and helpful. On the main road before town.

As some of you are probably aware after a long internal debate over what new console to buy, I decided to purchase a PlayStation 3 Slim (Not the Super Slim) 320GB model; mainly because it was reduced on Amazon and I got lots of free stuff like an extra controller and PS Move Starter pack and game (Sorcery).
Unfortunately my excitement did not last for long in a little under two hours my new PS3 was very much dead and eventually I contacted Amazon who dispatched another one first class which I was most grateful for. I got that replacement about two weeks ago and as promised (if not a little late) I'm blogging to inform those of you who might be interested that it is still working and appears the first one really was faulty.
Despite my own pessimism I have been playing on my new PS3 almost constantly since I got it and after two weeks it continues to work fine. Obviously my first one breaking so quickly has coloured my view slightly but I am hopeful that this one will last for several years to come. It was also rather interesting to see that a week after my troubles with them, Amazon has stopped selling the 320gb bundle option and there current bundles don't have anywhere near as much free stuff as mine did so I think I dodged a bullet there.
I really don't want to spend any more time on this subject as I already had a long rant in my previous post so I'm going to instead write about a slightly more cheerful subject: Video Games. More specifically what are the ten games I'm most looking forward to getting for my PS3:
10. Devil May Cry HD Collection
Most of my game collection as a kid was more catered towards RPG's as a whole and so despite owning over 60 PS2 games many of the more mainstream cough*expensive*cough games such as Devil May Cry I never played and so expect to see a few other HD collections on this list. With the reboot out next year and with DMC supposedly one of the pinnacles of the Hack 'N' Slash genre I thought I should at least play the first three.
9. Ratchet and Clank Trilogy
Same deal as with DMC with this one. Never got around to playing the games, but was heavily recommeded by a friend who did and just genuinely looks fun.
8. The Sly Cooper Trilogy
Again same as the above so I see no need to type it out again for you.
7. Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7
Anyone who knows me knows that I love the Harry Potter books and its various films/Games adaptations. I am also probably the first person to point out the number of plot holes in this series but that's on an entirely different page and blog. I am also a big lover of Lego games. Yes there silly, yes they seem childish and yes until recently they hadn't mastered English, but there is also something ridiculously charming about them and the puzzle elements can be quite challenging. I played years 1-4 on my DS and loved it a lot and I have been meaning to get this too on DS but that version is hard to find and rather expensive and it has been sometime since I have played a console version.
6. Sonic the Hedgehog
Any game with our favourite Hedgehog somewhere on the cover suffers from the same problem as any new Final Fantasy game in that it will be instantly dismissed as a blasphemous money grab from the evil producers of SEGA who are ruining the franchise by not making games that are exactly the same as all those that came previous. I am not one of those people. I applaud any attempt to take the Sonic franchise in new and exciting directions even if it means dragging the die hard fans kicking and screaming all the way. This game is doubly interesting to me because it includes Shadow and Silver as playable characters and as I know very little about the latest hedgehog I am even more eager to play this game.
5. Tales of Graces F
I know very little about this game other than the 'Tales of' series is considered one of the best JRPG's ever and that recently there has been an influx of these games coming to the west. I also have seen some gameplay footage and it looks awesome. It is supposed to harcen back to old classic JRPG's whilst at the same time being thouroughly modern and including all the things we expect from modern JRPG's. How could I resist?
4. Final Fantasy XIII
Anyone who's read my first post on this site will know that I have a slight soft spot for unusual games that most people dislike purely for being different from the norm they've gotten used to. From what I've heard and from what I've seen XIII is going to fall into the same category as X-2 and VII: Dirge of Cerberus as games that most won't give the time of day because they fall short of some implied but never stated criteria for Final Fantasy-ness that is brought about by having Final Fantasy in the title. It's a criteria that few games since well IV, V, VII, VIII, and X depending on who you ask have been able to live up to. However I've never really subscribed to that, I mean I started the series with X-2 after all so XIII's gorgeous visuals, intriguing storyline and the fact it not only got a direct numbered sequel but it's sequel got a sequel means it's a game I definitely want to try.
3. Final Fantasy XIII-2
Given what I just wrote above about the first one is it any surprise I want it's sequel too. We've got an improved battle system, more gorgeous visuals, a monster capture system (Gotta Catch em' al!), time travel and a casino at the end of time - take that Douglas Adams! Need I say more.
2. Darksiders
For those of you who aren't aware the first game I got for my PS3 and which was at a reduced price with pre-order DLC was Darksiders 2, the sequel to this, Darksiders. Just in case you aren't in the know there's a hundred year gap in Darksiders where War is imprisoned and that's where DS2 takes place so you could technically play them in any order and still know what's going on. DS2 (which I haven't yet finished) is one of the best games I've ever played and as some will probably know I have soft spot for the Apocalypse so this game is right up my alley. Obviously as I'm enjoying DS2 so much, I want to also play the original so I will hopefully be getting a copy of this soon.
1. Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix
As I have said numerous times over the years I am an avid supporter of the Kingdom Hearts series, I've played every game in some form in the series so far apart from Dream Drop Distance (I don't own a 3DS unfortunately) so whilst I don't consider myself an expert I do absolutely love the story, gameplay and soundtrack and well you get the idea. When I heard that a HD collection was in the works I was ecstatic. Just to summarise it will contain Kingdom Hearts Final Mix which was formerly Japan only directors cut version, RE: Chain of Memories the PS2 remake of the GBA version (which I own) that was for some reason never released in Europe and the remastered cutscenes from 358/2 days which I think I've said is still my favourite KH of all time. This game more than anything else is what I'm most looking forward to playing on my PS3 and I hope Versus XIII and KH2 HD will follow.
So thats my update of what's going on with my life at the moment and what I'm looking forward to as a gamer in future. Your comments as always are welcome and if anyone has any games they'd like to recommend or if need be warn me of than I would of course be very grateful.
Till next time everyone, bye.
PS. If anyone knows how to embed a video from youtube or ign into a blog here than that would be very helpful, thank you

Violet Mackerel's Brilliant Plot
- Brief Synopsis:
- When a creative seven-year-old girl spots a blue china bird that she desperately wants, she forms an imaginative plan for getting it.
- Long Synopsis:
- Introducing Violet Mackerel, a charismatic new chapter book star with a zest for life and an endearing, relatable voice akin to Ramona Quimby and Junie B. Jones. Violet is a seven-year-old with a knack for appreciating the smallest things in life: her "Theory of Finding Small Things" states that the moment of finding a tiny treasure usually coincides with the moment of having a genius idea. This creative little girl always strives to think outside the box, so when she spots a small china bird that she desperately wants, she forms an imaginative plan for getting it--and her methods are anything but ordinary! Violet Mackerel's Brilliant Plot is the first book in an irresistibly charming series starring Violet and her family that has pitch-perfect perspective and plenty of laugh-out-loud humor.

The chart above of nutritional supplement / weight-loss provider Herbalife (HLF) shows the classic construction of a first level Cup-with-Handle base. The stock sports an EPS Rank of 81 and Relative Strength of 76. The subgroup, Cosmetics / Personal Care maintains a 91 Technical Rating, which for many intermediate-term traders may be an extra point of confirmation. Fellow group member NutriSystem (NTRI) maintains slightly all-around stronger numbers and is in similar position technically. So, for those interested in the ingredients offered from Herbalife that stock may also be an appropriate one to look into for limited-risk positions.

Sat at that bench,
Our throne of wood,
At midnight.
The leering aristocracy,
Across the river,
In their palace,
On thrones of green leather.
We should never have made it there,
But we did, individually,
And converged, at that time,
To share that instance,
Devised by fate,
Which was predetermined to happen,
And was always going to be
So subtly remarkable.
The two of us,
Sat at our bench,
Not belonging, together.
No more.

Flavor:Vanilla SportPharma weight gainer formula is power packed with calories and protein for the promotion of weight gain. SportPharma proprietary blend of whey protein is manufactured using an advanced low temperature microfiltration, ultrafiltration and diafiltration process. In the microfiltration process, fat is removed from the whey by the use of special membranes that allow the proteins and other soluble components to pass through while retaining the fat globules. The lactose and soluble minerals are then removed by ultrafiltration and diafiltration. Microfiltration allows whey proteins to be recovered in their natural proportions in the final product. SportPharma whey proteins are superior in quality, containing the amino acids in the correct proportions required by the human body. Protein utilization, digestability and nitrogen retention is essential for muscle recovery and building lean muscle mass. SportPharma whey protein is the product of choice for people leading active lifestyles or athletes in heavy training.

UPDATE: Compass Point Research & Trading Upgrades Huntington Bancshares to Buy, Raises PT
In a report published Friday, Compass Point Research & Trading upgraded its rating on Huntington Bancshares (NASDAQ: HBAN) from Neutral to Buy, and raised its price target from $6.00 to $8.00.
Compass Point noted, "Following 4Q12 earnings, we upgrade our rating on the shares of HBAN to Buy from Neutral and raise our price target to $8 from $6. Concerns regarding NIM compression, NII decline, pressure from the mortgage banking segment and expense ratios appear more than priced into the stock and we expect core results to be repeatable. 4Q12 EPS of $0.19 beat consensus by $0.02 and the 2013 outlook improved. Driving the 4Q13 beat was stronger than expected NIM, loan growth and mortgage banking income. We estimate core EPS of $0.18, still $0.01 ahead of consensus. Our new $8 price target represents 12x our 2014 EPS estimates and a multiple of 1.08x YE14 our BVPS estimate of $7.39."
Huntington Bancshares closed on Thursday at $6.50.

This review is from: WD Blue WD3200LPVX 320GB 5400 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 2.5" Internal Notebook Hard Drive Bare Drive
Pros: Affordable!
Cons: I bought it when it wasn't on sale.
Other Thoughts: My original drive was continuously failing, which was only 80 GB. I bought this, which was a nice upgrade in storage capacity and as soon I finished installation, and turned the laptop on, the BIOS recognized the drive and I was able to install windows without any problems.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Asus M5A78L-M LX3 Desktop Motherboard - AMD 760G Chipset - Socket AM3+
Pros: Supports FX! Works exactly as advertised and then much more.
Cons: I research things before I buy them, so over all. No cons, but I suppose it would of been nice if it had more than 4 USB ports on the I/O, but then again you're buying a basic board.
Other Thoughts: Board is PERFECT! I never cared for the fancy board being that if I want anything EPIC, I just use "EPIC" add on hardware. Perfect board for a 4.4 GHZ FX4300, 8 GB Ripjaw at 7-7-7-21, stable at 1620 MHZ with 2 1 TB (Steam/Movies) and 1 160 GB (Windows) WD Hard Drives and a 7850. It won't set records, but it was affordable and allowed to spend money on more import features.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: MSI Radeon HD 7850 DirectX 11 R7850-2GD5/OC 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
Pros: Excellent video card at a affordable price. 1920x1080 all 30+ fps on all modern games. Also the card is very small and is as long as a mATX is wide.
Cons: None, well. I suppose a single DVI, but I knew that when I purchased this card so I can't call it a con.
Other Thoughts: It doesn't compare to the new R generation, but this generation is over a year old and you can not expect it to. Still these cards are very epic and put a big smile on your face during game play.
I wish people on here would do their research before they purchase products and then leave bad reviews because of their own ignorance.

|[jira] Created: (IO-194) FreeSpaceKb() with no input arguments
|Sun, 08 Feb 2009 13:16:59 GMT
FreeSpaceKb() with no input arguments ------------------------------------- Key: IO-194 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-194 Project: Commons IO Issue Type: Improvement Components: Utilities Environment: All environments Reporter: Morten Simonsen Priority: Trivial Fix For: 1.5 For those of us not yet on JDK 1.6, this function is very useful. I was a bit put off when I first saw the interface of the method, since it seemed to me that I had to figure out whether I wanted C:\ or /hda1 or some other string to perform the disk-size-command upon. After a short while it dawned upon me to use this piece of code: /* Returns the disk size of the volume which holds the working directory */ public static long freeSpaceKb() throws IOException { return freeSpaceKb(new File(".").getAbsolutePath()); } Tested on Windows Vista and Linux Ubuntu 8.04.

Climate change is of critical concern to China: it is the world's largest greenhouse gas emitter, and many of its people are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, from glacial melting to droughts and flooding.
Greenpeace is campaigning for climate solutions that will help us prosper without damaging the planet. By switching to renewable energy and protecting our forests, we can protect our world for future generations.
Climate change is real, and it's happening because of human activities – namely burning oil, and coal. We're seeing the effects all around us – extreme weather events, droughts, warmer temperatures, polar ice melting and sea level rising. But we can work to change this.
Solutions to climate change and energy crises already exist: clean, renewable energy, energy efficiency and an end to deforestation. With strong commitment to change from governments, business and individuals alike, we can stop climate chaos.
China is the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases, and any successful efforts to stop global climate change needs this country to play its part. Greenpeace is the leading non-governmental organisation working in East Asia to fight climate change:
The world has changed since our leaders discussed climate change in 2009. It has become even more evident; ravaging crops in Africa, melting ice in the Arctic, drowning the Philippines and drying-up California. The poor are paying the...
Oh LEGO! We're feeling sad again. We just heard you've rolled out a new line of Shell toys in Singapore, and this is just the beginning – they'll be coming to Shell petrol stations across the globe in the next year or so.
Safe, affordable and accessible water is one of our planet's scarcest natural resources. Many people don't have access to fresh water for sanitation, agriculture, or even to drink.
Yet, global water consumption by the power sector...

Thanks, Dr Jeff.
Well if any TC was near a perfect position to cross over intact, Barbara has a shot if it can move relatively quick enough into the lower BOC by tomorrow... It's small size means could wind down easily and probably moving a little right of the ideal lowest elevation, thru Chivela Pass, but only a short chunk of the Sierra Madre mts to cross for potential minimal disruption of the LLC... The 12Z GFS I briefly viewed does model the mid level core coming thru intact, so it's a curiosity to watch, and if anything I think favors remaining Barbara into the BOC... Of course, a big "if" is if NHC can discern a sfc circulation to track continuously. Beyond that, as mentioned, whatever remains of the TC will most probably become quickly shredded by shear on Friday.

Botnet of Linux Servers with Dynamic IP Discovered
A Russian Web developer has found a network of a couple of hundred Linux servers that could distribute malware to Windows systems.
Linux being the server system of choice hasn't exactly escaped malware hackers. According to a current blog entry> from Russian developer Denis Sinegubko, a network of (meanwhile just under a hundred) infected Apache servers manage Windows systems through the dynamic DNS providers dyndns.org and no-ip.com and can thereby provide the malicious code.
The compromised Linux servers include dedicated or virtualized Apache webservers. The malware apparently landed on the target clients not because of an Apache vulnerability but due to weak or intercepted passwords or a security hole in the management software used. The attackers therefore installed next to Apache the small Nginx webserver that distributed the malware to the Windows clients. Site admins wouldn't normally notice the break-in because the Apache service wouldn't be affected.
The exact purpose of and, above all, the gateway used for the attacks are still not fully known. Shortly after Sinegubko's blog, the dyndns.com site took more than 100 systems off the net, and no-ip.com blocked about 100 domains after he contacted them. Unfortunately a cat-and-mouse game can ensue because dynamic hostnames can easily be registered.
Linux botnetIt's a Linux botnet just like an Adobe exploit on Windows is a Windows botnet.
maybe not apache
I think Apache is also running on windows, so linux to be use?
Linux-BotnetYes, it's a Linux-Botnet, as the nginx-Version installed on it is the Linux-Version. So it has nothing to do with apache.
LinuxIs this really a Linux botnet or an Apache botnet running on Linux? Meaning Linux is really not the issue but Apache which could be int he same position if installed on Unix or Windows?

Fossum's protagonist,
Sejer, is a complex, lonely widower, still
grieving over the loss of his wife
(resembling, in some ways, Colin Dexter's
Inspector Morse, or P.D. James's Adam
Dalgleish). In this, the second book, we

potential new love (in the few slow moments when he's not racing to solve the crime and prevent further bloodshed) and we know that it will not be plain sailing for him in either his personal or public life.
Fossum leverages her series above the pack of conventional police procedurals by, firstly, taking us deep into the minds of her troubled characters, and secondly, by causing us to ask ourselves difficult questions - such as how society as a ...

What can I say, I find PCs fun. Over the years I've installed many operating systems, finding the building and exploration of the OS as enjoyable as the software that's installed on them. Since I deal extensively with Microsoft at work I have little desire to deal with Microsoft on my own time. So my primary PC became a Linux box several years ago. As I've gotten older there are more times where I just want things to work, so I went out and got a Mac Mini for those times. Since then a Mac has been my primary PC for getting things done and I've installed Linux and Windows at various times just to explore. The OS Quest is an attempt to chronicle these OS's and what I do (or can't do) with them. As the tag line says, it's a "A Frustrating Journey", whether it's Windows, OS X or Linux. The question is, which is more rewarding?

When: 8:25 p.m. ET, Thursday Where: Soldier Field, Chicago TV: NFL Network
The Chicago Bears relegated themselves to the spoiler role by virtue of their 5-7 mark, while the Dallas Cowboys enter Thursday's game trying to exorcise their December demons in an attempt to advance to the postseason for the first time since 2009.
Bears reporter Michael C. Wright breaks down the matchup with Cowboys reporter Todd Archer:
Wright: You always hear about Dallas' struggles in December, and I remember how the Cowboys struggled in the cold last season around this time at Soldier Field. Is there really anything to that, and, if so, what's gone into those struggles?
Archer: The Cowboys swear there is nothing to it. I'm kind of with them, but I do think the recent past does affect this team to the point at which they expect something bad to happen. Ultimately, however, I think it has come down to them just not having been good enough. That's the real issue. They have been bad in late-season games because they're just good enough to be good enough and have not been able to raise their level of play when the games matter most. I don't think it has anything to do with choking or the other team wanting it more. It comes down to they haven't had enough good players and coaches to get the job done. Will that change this season? I can't call it. Even when they were 6-1, I had doubts about this team, especially defensively. They don't have enough playmakers and they can't scheme their way to enough stops. The offense will have to carry the day if the Cowboys are to make the playoffs for the first time since 2009. I do believe the offense is good enough, but is it good enough to carry the defense?

A short story is a work of fiction that is usually written in prose, often in narrative format. A short story usually deals with a few characters and often concentrates on the creation of the mood rather than the plot. The short story format tends to be more pointed than longer works. And short story definitions based on length differ, even among professional writers, since the short story format includes a wide range of genres and styles, the actual length is determined by the individual author's preference and the submission guidelines relevant to the story's actual market.

In January of 1895, a nationalist rebellion broke out against the Republic of Hawaii. The rebellion was crushed in two days by Republican forces who outgunned the nationalist forces. The Queen was arrested and brought before a military tribunal. The Republic found her guilty of "misprision of treason" (branding her a traitor) and fined her $5,000 and five years of hard labor (Liliuokalani 1990 [1898]:289). Instead of hard labor though, they decided to imprison her in...

The moment the great glass doors of the shopping mall slid silently open, Miriam regretted her decision to come. She hadn't visited the mall for over a year and was horrified to find herself besieged by scantily clad young men and women, all jostling to persuade her to visit their shop. They were astonishingly beautiful: tall, graceful, perfect features, with large eyes and ideal bodies.

Arizona artists seek to 'bedazzle' border
On a small stretch of the wall that divides the United States from Mexico, there's bright, colorful artwork, whimsical visions painted by children in Naco, Sonora.
The children have been armed with paint and brushes by the organization Border Bedazzlers. Gretchen Baer, one of the artist group's leaders, said the idea of beautifying the border wall has been tossed around for a long time, but it wasn't until April that plans really took off.
"It's a sad story to have this border between us," Baer said. "They are friends."
The Border Bedazzlers' mission, according its Facebook page, is "to make friends, make art, make good neighbors!"
The Naco community has embraced the Bisbee group's effort and parents seem to encourage their children to participate in the experience.

It's the big weekend. Beer will be consumed. T-Shirts and hats will be purchased. High technology will be employed. And…those cars will go very, very fast.
Yes, it's the weekend of the Daytona 500.
To say that I'm a big fan of NASCAR would be, well, a lie. I don't hate it or anything, nor do I look down my nose at fans of the sport. It's just not something I grew up around. On the other hand, I am an American male, meaning that it's hard for me to resist big, noisy cars goin' fast. Hell, yea!
Like a lot of cultural things, stereotypes about fans of NASCAR are flung freely. Heck, my mention of beer being swilled is probably a stereotype, though I've got some relatives on The Wife's side who will definitely be partaking of a few "cornflakes in a can" (as Archie Bunker used to say).
So, is the NASCAR fans' love of country music a stereotype too? Probably not. So this morning I decided to listen to a country record that breaks with the 'modern tradition' of having the life compressed out of it. For all of the technology used to make stock cars blister, Martina McBride's Timeless uses old technology to sound absolutely wonderful.
John McBride, from the liner notes:
- Martina and I were striving for an authentic sound for this album. We used only 3 microphones newer than 1968 on this project, a 1953 Gretsch Round Badge Kit., and no guitars or guitar amps newer than 1965. We stayed in the analogue domain for 99% of this record. No digital plug-ins were ever used, only real outboard equipment for compression, EQ, etc., and very little at that. The album was mastered to 1″ tape and hopefully the difference is audible.
So if you'd like to hear McBride do fine justice to the songs of Hank Williams, Don Gibson, Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, Harlan Howard, Buddy Holly, Buck Owens & and others…check this record out.
I've gotta say, I haven't heard "I Can't Stop Loving You", "(I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden", or "Make The World Go Away" in years. Very cool stuff.
Now, about this NASCAR thing….who am I supposed to root for, being a person knowing nothing about it? C'mon, any NASCAR fans on Blogcritics?

One potential treatment for damaged cardiac tissue post myocardial infarction is the transplantation of autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to stimulate angiogenesis, resulting in reperfusion of ischemic tissue that enables subsequent tissue regeneration. An inherent challenge for this approach is patient age, and thus cell donor age, which may result in decreased number and functionality of available stem cells. The objective of this proposal is to determine the effect of donor age on M8Cdependent angiogenesis for ischemic cardiac tissue. Donor ages of MSCs will be categorized as 30's, 40's, 50's, and 60's. The hypothesis is that increased donor age inhibits MSC-dependent angiogenesis within the challenging cellular and mechanical environment of the myocardium. To test this hypothesis, this proposal will utilize a differential approach of tissue engineering systems that progressively increases the complexity of the in vitro models to include, separately and in combination, heterotypic human cell phenotypes, soluble factor communication, direct cell-cell contact, 3D environments, and applied cyclic strain.
Specific Aim 1 is to determine the effect of MSC donor age on endothelial cell (EC) processes and smooth muscle cell-like functions for angiogenesis in an indirect co-culture model. The hypothesis is that increased donor age mitigates MSC-dependent increases in EC proliferation, migration, and assembly through decreased secretion of VEGF. Antibody blocking and gene silencing will be used to focus on the mechanisms dependent on VEGF.
Aim 2 is to determine the effect of MSC donor age on vessel-like structure formation within a cardio-relevant mechanical environment using a direct co-culture model. The hypothesis is that increased donor age mitigates MSC-dependent vessel stabilization and formation through decreased interaction with ECs via the notch signaling pathway. We will utilize 2- and 3-dimensional direct co-culture models and applied cyclic strain to assess the length, diameter, complexity, and stability of vessels formed. Gene silencing will be used to focus on the JAGGED1-N0TCH3 interactions between ECs and MSCs during direct cell-cell communication as the mechanism of vessel stabilization.
An inherent challenge in the use of autologous adult stem cell sources for myocardial infarction is a potential decrease in number or functional capacity of the available stem cells as a function of age. This proposal investigates the dependency of donor age on mesenchymal stem cell-dependent angiogenic processes using a differential approach that progressively increases the complexity of the in vitro model systems.

Hi everyone
Here is a list of file extensions if you want to look up what a file
is. There aren't too many you would need other than .jpg, .gif, and .txt
but if you were concerned you could see. This all has to do with file
associations and what the computer does with the file when you click on
it. If it has something like .exe the computer knows it is an executable
file so that is what it does with it. If you renamed somename.exe to
somename.txt it wouldn't do a thing.
