Firstly, you'll be seeing a lot of ingredients like Dragon's blood, Silver, FluidPure8g, and Blue stone in their products,
all sounding pretty manly and all adds a touch of masculine edge to the brand. so I did a lil research:
Dragon's Blood aka Calamus Draco
Helps protect the cells of the skin and reduces redness and cures swelling.
Obtained from the sap of the Dragon's Blood tree, the red sap is also used in case of a skin problem like - bad bites and stings.
When applied it creates a second skin-like film to protect against free radical damage and stimulates cell regeneration.
Blue Stone aka Lapis Lazuli
Helps replenish naturally depleted nutritive minerals in skin. Honestly i don't know much about this one,
but to say that your face wash has BLUE STONE in it sounds really cool. lol it doesn't make the product blue tho.
the perfect biomimetic active to take care of the whole family skin cocoon. Helps fight against microbial proliferation
within the skin and inside cosmetic formulations. Helps restore skin's natural acidic mantle, and helps fight unpleasant body odors.
Here's some interesting facts that I found about silver, it's the skin solution for varies skin disorders, from dry skin to skin cancer!
WOW, really cool. It's amazing properties are absorbed through the skin and begin to heal, sprains, burns and cuts.
Relieves pain and swelling from sore muscles! Sounds like an ingredient made for the real men! Really impressed!
Okay here are the top 5 things that I mentioned in the video:
bar soap in a jar, mud texture, IT SO FUN THO, I get to live my childhood dreams of playing in the mud,
I hope I'm not the only weird child here having those dreams, overall I like the fun concept, it even says,
"Stay a kid but play like a man" on the packaging. and again the idea of the 2 in 1 (face + body cleanser)
is just too cool, I really do think that guys would love this one, in fact, I'm keeping it and using it myself,
because I love the idea of playing with "mud" and the fragrance too, OK so badlab has ALMOST the same scent,
From my video, I already mentioned that they have a very musky and woody scent to their products, and if I were
to a choose a fragrance reference, I would say that Body Shop (men's section) and Hugo Boss has a pretty similar scent.
and for the price!? You might imagine with such a pretty packaging and expensive scent comes with a high price,
but no, their price range is between rm8.90 - rm12.90. Which is relatively super cheap compared to women's products,
girls' conditioner for example, is already rm11 on an average. But for a 2-in-1 , or even 3-in-1 is average rm15 for BADLAB.
Their most expensive product is the FULL BODY ARMOUR which is rm25.90. The only reason why they're expensive is
because it's their Face + Body 3-in-1 Suncreen, moisturiser and mosquito repellent. SPT 30PA+++ omg! crazy combo!
2nd featured item:
CAVEMAN CLEANER - 3-in-1 Hair, Face, Body Cleaner
A STAR PRODUCT THAT YOU MUST GET, for those who wanna try to venture into BADLAB this might be
the best stepping stone for you. 3-in-1, hair, face and body cleanser, I'm keeping this one for myself as well,
because i love the smell. okay and I did not grow a bread or a penis after trying all these men stuffs kay, haha.
Also has a cooling menthol blast on it. A turbo-fast cleaner that saves time in the shower and is good to bring outdoors!
This one is only sample size (80ml), they're selling 200ml for rm8.90, and 400ml for rm12.90 !
CALL TO ARMS - Anti Bacterial + Deodorizing Fragrance
reliable, all day protection against body odor demons and evil bacterias. Smell good, play dirty, roam free.
This one smells most intense out of all the products they have, in my opinion this one smells sexy as fuck, I love it.
My man HASSS TO WEAR THIS FRAGRANCE / deodorant, (if I had a man la) lol, that's it that's how good it is.
I'll just spray this around my room and pretend I have a man ;) Hahahahaha, this is really good guys, a MUST GET!
DIRTY DEEDS - Invigorating Facial Scrub
Dragon Blood + Blue Stone exfoliates dead skin cells for brighter and clearer skin. I used this and it had a cooling effect.
I think a lot of guys enjoy that, since I did a lil research on guy's products, a lot of them have that minty feel.
It did made my skin feel ultra clean and smooth as well, I love this because of its minty scent, but I wasn't too sure
if it was my tube problem or what, this tub had me squeezing so hard,
BATTLE REPAIR - Repair + Relief Facial Moisturizer
Provides soothing relief from razor burns, the unforgiving elements and your daily battles. Has Dragon's blood as well.
I notice there's a lot of guys who doesn't put on moisturizer. I wonder why, I mean it's guy's logic,
"why would I make my face oily again right?" Even for me actually I'm so lazy to put moisturizer sometimes,
but at times when I feel like my skin is peeling from the all sorts of damage made from our daily routines
it's no excuse not to put on a moisturizer because that's the first thing to do to avoid aging skin. But really,
I like the texture of the moisturizer, it's ultra light! I could feel my skin breathing, but the smell.... was just too overpowering,
and the fact that it got stuck on my face for damn long, even if I wash it off. It's extremely weird for me to have
a moisturizer as strong as a perfume smell on my face! TOO WERID, it's like applying perfume on the face in a cream form!
For the muka busuks, I recommend you using this ;) hehe
I love the name for this, it really does lift up to it's name. Really made my face baby-bottom smooth.
But if you take out the fancy packaging and the way they brand it, to me it was just like any other facial cleanser.
This one had the same smell and intensity similar to the Facial Moisturizer but it also had a slight "mosquito repellent" scent,
Fortunately, I'm a person who doesn't get bitten by mosquitoes a lot. Usually it's the friends beside me that always get bitten, lol
so I can't judge on the repellent part, But I do know that this is the most expensive product on from BadLab - rm25.90
TOO COLD TO BEAR - Cooling Shampoo
Cooling shampoo which lifts up to it's name, I just dyed my hair not long ago so I couldn't try the shampoos,
or else it might fuck up my hair color, (hey what an idea that maybe badlab should come out with colored hair shampoos?)
lol, so I gave my guy friend to try it, "cool, refreshing, makes my hair really clean and soft" – guy friend. lol
LIKE A BOSS - Sculpting Hair Clay
Keeps scalp irritations and odours at bay, slave the day, look the part, own the jungle.
i had my guy friends trying this and to be honest it didn't held up like the normal waxes or clay would,
think you'll need to use spray for this product because it doesn't last for a whole day of wild rides, haha
Another product that I see them advertising a lot, this one had a minty cooling touch to it, and extra manly!
loving the masculine scent i know i tried it on myself but of course it was too manly for a girl, but it was
the right amount of masculine smell that I would like on a guy, really loving the cooling effect as well!
reminded me of Protex's icy cool shower gel!!!! i've used that product before as well, but of course this one smelt way better.

Designed for Camcorders and Digital Cameras That Capture Still Images and Video, New SanDisk Cards Offer 50 Percent Faster Read and Write Speeds; 32GB is Industry-Leading Capacity
Press Release
Giving photo enthusiasts the freedom to take more pictures and
shoot more video, SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ:SNDK) today increased
both capacities and speeds in its SanDisk Ultra(R) II line with the
introduction of 32- and 16-gigabyte (GB)(1) SDHC(TM) cards and an 8GB
SDHC Plus card. The announcement was made at the photo industry's PMA
08 International Convention here.
Ideal for today's camcorders and point-and-shoot digital cameras
that can record both video and still images, the cards offer faster
read and write speeds of 15 megabytes per second(2) (15MB/sec), up
from previous speeds of 10MB/sec read and 9MB/sec write in the SanDisk
Ultra II line.
"As cameras offer more megapixels and as new high-definition
'record-to-memory-card' camcorders are being introduced, the image
sizes and files get bigger, requiring higher card capacity," said
Susan Park, senior product marketing manager for SanDisk Ultra II
cards. "Cameras also are increasingly used for recording video clips,
which demand even more memory and capacity. These mega-capacities in
our SanDisk Ultra II line give users the worry-free ability to capture
thousands of their memories and hours of HiDef video on a single card,
while the faster write speed can reduce the time between shots and the
faster read speed reduces time spent waiting to copy those images to a
computer," she added.
The 32GB Ultra II SDHC card, which is the industry-leading
capacity and will be the highest capacity consumer flash memory card
that SanDisk produces, will be able to store more than 8,000
high-resolution pictures or up to 40 hours of video(3). A SanDisk
MicroMate(TM) USB 2.0 Reader — a $20 value — is packaged with the
32GB and 16GB cards, giving users a one-stop solution for capturing,
storing and transferring their images.
Beyond speed and capacity, the 8GB SanDisk Ultra II SDHC Plus
offers both SD(TM) and USB functionality in one card. Designed with
SanDisk's unique, patented Hinge Lock technology, the card may be
inserted into a USB port on any computer. This two-in-one SD-plus-USB
feature eliminates the need to carry cables or card readers to
transfer photos and videos from cameras. Despite its small size, the
hinge is sturdy — having survived more than 10,000 open-close cycles
in SanDisk's durability testing.
For camera compatibility, please visit
Expected pricing and availability (US)
The 32GB SanDisk Ultra II SDHC card with MicroMate USB 2.0 Reader
has a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $349.99. The 16GB card
with reader has a suggested price of $179.99, and the 8GB SanDisk
Ultra II SDHC Plus card has an MSRP of $99.99. The 16GB and 8GB cards
are expected to be available worldwide in March, with the 32GB slated
for shipping in April.

The parents of a 13-year-old Santa Rosa boy killed by a sheriff's deputy who thought the airsoft rifle he was carrying was real has filed a lawsuit over their son's death, claiming the deputy who shot him used excessive force and had a history of "reckless" acts.
Andy Lopez was a "charismatic kid" who was "shot without provocation or cause," in violation of his Fourth Amendment rights, according to the suit (PDF), which Rodrigo Lopez and Sujey Cruz Casarez filed Monday in San Francisco federal court.
They are represented by Casillas, Moreno and Associates, based in Montebello, Calif., which won a $24 million verdict after a Los Angeles police officer there shot a 13-year-old boy playing cops and robbers, leaving him paralyzed.
U.S. & World
At a news conference with their lawyers, Andy's father asked for "justice," and relatives wiped away tears. Attorney Arnoldo Casillas said the lawsuit over Andy Lopez's death will ensure an "honest" investigation into what happened.
The suit names Sonoma County and Deputy Erick Gelhaus, the sheriff's deputy who fatally shot Andy on Oct. 22. Gelhaus's attorney said in an interview with NBC Bay Area on Monday that his client only fired because he was staring down the barrel of a rifle that looked real.
MORE: Andy Lopez Family Files Claim vs. Sonoma County
In their suit, the Lopez family contends that Gelhaus has acted in a "reckless" manner dating back to 1996, and they say Andy was returning the toy gun to a friend.
They also bring up a point of contention: While Gelhaus's attorney and police investigators say Andy did not heed the deputies' commands and pointed the barrel of his rifle at them, the lawsuit alleges that Andy was indeed listening to the deputies. He was turning toward them as they ordered him to put the gun down, the suit says.
"The deputies knew that upon hearing their command, Andy Lopez would turn to face them," the suit alleges.
Andy died at the scene, about a half mile from his home. Deputies learned the rifle was a replica after Andy was dead.
The Lopez family's suit also formally claims unreasonable seizure and unconstitutional practices, in language similar to that of claims they filed against the county last month.
In an interview with NBC Bay Area on Monday morning, Casillas said he is also alleging that Gelhaus has been involved in prior instances of "excessive force." His suit alleges that in 1996, a woman named Karin Futch reported that Gelhaus pulled out a gun and pointed it at her when he was called out to help with a neighborhood dispute.
During that same year, the suit also alleges that Gelhaus and his then-partner were accused of falsifying police reports. And last month, the suit alleges that Sonoma County resident Jeffrey Westbrook claimed Gelhaus "recklessly and unnecessarily" pointed his pistol at Westbrook's head during a routine traffic stop.
But Gelhaus' attorney, Terry Leoni, of the Pleasant Hill firm Rains Lucia Stern, where high-profile Michael Rains is a partner, said she has no information linking her client to those claims of force.
In her first interview with NBC Bay Area on Monday, Leoni said that Gelhaus only shot at Andy because the boy turned toward him with the barrel of the gun raised at him. Though the suit alleges that the deputies did not identify themselves, Leoni says Gelhaus' partner had turned on his emergency lights as an act of identification.
"He is very emotional," Leoni said by phone of her client, a 24-year veteran of the department. "He feels for the family and for the community. This is a tragic situation."
MORE: Sonoma County Deputy ID'd Writes About "Mean Gene"
While there are those supporting Gelhaus and police who have to make life-and-death split-second decisions, Andy's death has sparked community outrage far beyond Santa Rosa, especially because he was a Latino boy in a poor neighborhood. Protesters, who have held vigils nearly every day since the eighth grader's death, argue this wouldn't have happened if it were a white teen in a rich neighborhood.
Leoni disputed any such claims.
"Race and age had nothing to do with it," Leoni said. "The only reason he fired his weapon was because of the threat of a very real-looking AK-47. There was nothing to indicate it was a replica."
The federal lawsuit follows on the heels of three wrongful death claims (PDF) Andy's parents filed Oct. 28 against Sonoma County. They contain similar language.
According to the claims and the suit, Andy was walking "lawfully" about 3:15 p.m. near Moorland and West Robles avenues with a "toy gun" when two deputies on "routine duty" approached him. Andy's back was to the deputies, the claim states, and he had "not violated any law and posed no risk or threat to the deputies or any other persons."
Within 10 seconds – according to a timetable released by Santa Rosa police – the deputy fired his handgun at Andy.
"The shooting was unreasonable and unjustified under the law," one of the claims states. Of the eight rounds Gelhaus fired, seven struck Andy and the boy died of massive internal injuries, according to the claim (PDF). The claim also alleges that after Andy was shot, no "meaningful medical attention" was given to him.
The use of force by the deputies "was condoned by the sheriff's department," the claims state. "The training encourages deputies to prematurely shoot suspects who pose no threat or danger to deputies or the public at large."
The claims also assert that the sheriff's department has "failed to develop and implement policies, procedures and training regarding the use of deadly force and proper tactics for pedestrian stops," and that deputies, including Gelhaus, have been "negligently hired and retained."
On Friday, Sonoma County supervisor David Rabbit told NBC Bay Area he couldn't comment on the claims. But he did say that Andy's death has been "really rough" on the community. "To lose a child, and in this way, is devastating," Rabbit said.
For her part, Leoni has not yet seen the claims or suit naming her client, but in general, she said that the Sonoma County Sheriff's Department "takes pride" in training their deputies, and she has "confidence" the department "more than adequately" trains their staff.
In December 2012, the same law firm now representing Andy Lopez's family won a $24 million jury verdict against the Los Angeles Police Department after officers shot 13-year-old Rohayent "Ryan" Gomez-Eriza, who was playing cops and robbers with an airsoft gun, leaving him paralyzed. That award is believed to be the largest ever awarded against the LAPD involving a wrongful shooting.
Gabriela Márdero, a spokeswoman for the Consulate General of Mexico in San Francisco, said Monday that it was her agency that referred Andy's parents to the firm over the "reprehensible" killing of the teen. The Consulate General also paid for Andy's funeral.
NBC Bay Area's Monte Francis contributed to this report.

Former Melbourne Rebels and Newport Gwent Dragons lock Hoani Macdonald is in a "stable" condition after collapsing during an ITM Championship match in New Zealand.
Macdonald is currently in an induced coma after suffering a suspected cardiac arrest midway through the first-half, according to reports in the New Zealand press. Local television pictures showed the lock sinking to his knees and then receiving treatment from medical staff.
The New Zealand Rugby Union will now work alongside Rugby Southland and their chief executive Brian Hopley to "support Hoani's family and his team mates", according to a NZRU statement.
The statement continues: "Arrangements are being made for Hoani's fiance, their two young children and his mother to fly from Invercargill to Auckland to be with him. The Southland team manager will remain in Auckland with Hoani."
Macdonald has previously turned out for the Highlanders in Super Rugby and then the Dragons in the Celtic league. He then joined the Rebels for their debut season in Super Rugby before returning home to New Zealand in 2012. He has also turned out for the New Zealand Maori side and the Junior All Blacks.

Angels again expose Mariners bullpen, rally for 6-3 victory
SEATTLE (AP) — Another late rally and another stellar performance by their bullpen have the Los Angeles Angels in position for a playoff spot in the American League.
Yes there are still 44 games to go, but the Angels find themselves holding one of the two wild card spots in the AL.
"Everybody thinks we're overachieving but we think we deserve to be there," reliever Keynan Middleton said.
Luis Valbuena's two-run homer in the seventh inning pulled Los Angeles even, Albert Pujols added a two-run double in the eighth and the Angels rallied for a 6-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Saturday night.
It was the fifth straight win for the Angels and third straight over the Mariners, allowing Los Angeles to leap past Seattle and Minnesota in the wild card standings. In each of the three games, the Mariners' issues with their bullpen have festered.
Valbuena's homer came off reliever Casey Lawrence and after the Mariners got six surprisingly strong innings out of starter Erasmo Ramirez. It was just the third hit of the month for Valbuena, who is batting .103 in August.
Tony Zych (5-3) ran into even more trouble in the eighth. Zych walked the first two batters before giving up Pujols' double to the gap that scored Ben Revere and Mike Trout. Kole Calhoun's single and Andrelton Simmons' sacrifice fly scored Pujols for a three-run lead.
Seattle's bullpen has allowed 13 runs in the first three games of the series, versus just three runs allowed by the Angels' bullpen.
"The story of our season is that we've been up and down," Seattle manager Scott Servais said. "We were on a really good high here. We played great on the road trip, but coming back home where our bullpen has been so good the majority of the year, we stubbed our toe."
The Mariners got a strong start from Ramirez after he underperformed in his first two starts since being acquired from Tampa Bay. Ramirez allowed three hits and one unearned run. But all the good from Ramirez's start was quickly undone by the bullpen. Lawrence gave up a one-out single to C.J. Cron and Valbuena's line-drive homer to right field to tie the game at 3-all, followed by Zych's issues in the eighth.
While Seattle's bullpen has struggled, the Angels' relievers have been solid. Starter JC Ramirez was done after five innings following Kyle Seager's 18th home run that gave Seattle a 3-1 lead. Jesse Chavez allowed four hits in 1 2/3 innings but was not scored on, helped by two Mariners getting caught stealing and a perfect relay to get Yonder Alonso trying to score from first on Robinson Cano's double in the seventh. Cano was stranded at third as Middleton (4-0) got Nelson Cruz to ground out to end the inning.
Blake Parker worked the eighth allowing one single and Cam Bedrosian pitched the ninth for his fifth save.
"We're not going to get there unless our bullpen continues to perform the way they have," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "They've been holding up. Like I said, they've been used a lot but very, very effective."
Seattle hitting coach Edgar Martinez got the night off from his regular job as the Mariners retired his No. 11 during an emotional pregame ceremony. It's the second number retired by the club, joining the No. 24 of Ken Griffey Jr. The Mariners made the decision to honor Martinez after he jumped to nearly 59 percent of the vote in baseball Hall of Fame voting this year, in the hope that Martinez gains the needed 75 percent in his final two years of eligibility.
Angels: RHP Andrew Bailey was reinstated from the disabled list after being out since April due to shoulder troubles. Scioscia said Bailey will be used in some low-leverage situations to start with. The Angels optioned outfielder Cesar Puello to clear a roster spot.
Mariners: Seattle's bullpen shuffle continued with the club selecting RHP Christian Bergman from Triple-A Tacoma and optioning RHP Andrew Moore to help in the bullpen. Moore threw 1 2/3 innings and allowed four runs on Friday night. Bergman was primarily a starter with the Mariners earlier this season going 4-4 with a 5.44 ERA in nine games, eight starts.
Angels: Parker Bridwell (6-1) goes for his fifth straight victory. Bridwell allowed one run over seven innings in his last start against Baltimore.
Mariners: Ariel Miranda (7-5) looks to stop his recent slide. Miranda is winless in his last six starts, his last victory coming on June 30.

While I cannot speak for schema.org, the current design decision is to use globally defined property identifiers. But if the vocabulary grows, this may lead to problems because intuitive names my trigger different expectations depending on the type of object they are applied to. Assume you had two itemtypes, http://foo.com/Category and http://foo.com/Human. Both may need a "parent" property, but the parent of a category is something quite different from the parent of a human. In other words, the current design decision is not set in stone. Since processing in microdata is type-centric, nothing would break if that decision had to be revoked one day due to the growing number of conflicts. Martin >> But that cannot be taken for granted.

Hence the restriction in the current spec to restrict multiple types to be in the same vocabulary.

Dr. Wilfred G. Bigelow, a cardiac surgeon who created a pathbreaking technique of cooling the body to allow open-heart surgery and also helped develop an early pacemaker, died Sunday in an extended-care facility in Toronto. He was 91. The cause was heart failure, his family said.
As a young surgeon at the University of Toronto in the 1940's, Dr. Bigelow drew on his earlier research on hypothermia to theorize that cooling patients before an operation would curb the body's demands for oxygen and slow its circulation, allowing for longer and safer access to the heart.
Dr. Bigelow successfully tested his theory on a dog in 1949 and announced the results at a meeting of the American Surgical Association in Colorado Springs in 1950. Three years later, the first successful surgery to use the cooling technique on a human was performed. In applying the technique, the patient was anesthetized and placed on a bed of ice to give surgeons a window of roughly 10 minutes of access to the heart.
The hypothermia technique was supplanted by the heart-lung machine in the 1960's, although it is now used on parts of the heart during surgery in tandem with the machine to allow access to the heart for two or more hours.
Dr. Bigelow's technique was recognized as "an extraordinarily revolutionary concept that allowed an entire field to evolve," said Dr. Richard K. Reznick, chairman of the department of surgery at the University of Toronto.
In the course of his work with hypothermia, Dr. Bigelow made other important observations that contributed to the development of the pacemaker. He revived an animal heart in cardiac arrest by probing it with a surgical tool and theorized that its beating could be controlled in the same way by electrical stimulation.
In 1950, Dr. Bigelow, working with Dr. John Callaghan and an electrical engineer, Jack Hopps, created a radio-size unit that was used to restart a patient's heart after cooling.
Dr. Bigelow later wrote a book about his research, "Cold Hearts: The Story of Hypothermia and the Pacemaker in Heart Surgery," which won the Royal Society of Canada's Jason A. Hannah Medal, which recognizes achievement in research into the history of medicine.
The son of a surgeon, Wilfred Gordon Bigelow was born in Brandon, Manitoba. He earned his undergraduate and medical degrees from Toronto.
After further training at Johns Hopkins, he was named a research fellow at Toronto in 1950. He became a professor of surgery there in 1970 and was also head of the cardiovascular surgery division of Toronto General Hospital from 1956 to 1977. He retired in 1979.
Dr. Bigelow was a former president of the American Association for Thoracic Surgery and the Society for Vascular Surgery. He was president of the Canadian Cardiovascular Society from 1970 to 1972.
In 1959, he was among the first group of recipients of the Gairdner Foundation International Award for achievement in biomedical research based on his innovations with surgical hypothermia.
Dr. Bigelow married Margaret Ruth Jennings in 1941; she died in 2000.
He is survived by a daughter, Pixie Bigelow Currie of Toronto; three sons, Dan, of Petersfield, Manitoba, John, of Honolulu, and William, of Toronto; a brother, Dr. Dan Bigelow of Winnipeg, Manitoba; three grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.

Qualcomm demonstrated its Snapdragon 800 series processors at a workshop held in Beijing, China. As part of the workshop, Qualcomm provided the attending media delegates from Asia with smartphone and tablet prototypes that are powered by Snapdragon 800 processors.
The prototype smartphones and tablets that were presented are noticeably bulkier than the commercial devices that use Snapdragon 800 processors. Nevertheless, the prototype devices adequately provided us a glimpse of the possible features that manufacturers may enable on the Snapdragon 800 processors. The prototype tablets that Qualcomm showed us are equipped with an HDMI, USB 3.0, and a regular SD slot, suggesting that these connectors can be supported on actual commercial tablets that will employ Snapdragon processors. In addition, the prototype tablets come with a dock in which an additional HDMI and LAN connectors are found.
Below are some additional photos.
Here are the specifications.
In the case of the prototype smartphones, these handsets come with USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 connectors. They are also supplied with a volume adjustment rocker and two cameras. There is also a separate camera button which is not common among Android handsets. All prototype smartphones and tablets are preinstalled with Android OS.
Snapdragon 800 series processors are equipped with four cores. Through a demonstration, Qualcomm showed us that these four cores are not all used even if the processor is loaded with a task that is deemed intense. Running the game "Epic Citadel", for example, requires only one of the four cores of a Snapdragon 800 processor. Photo editing may require the usage of another core.
The folks at Qualcomm also demonstrated a photo editing application that is integrated to devices that are powered by Snapdragon 800 processors. The application allows users to crop, outline, and remove elements of a photo by just using a finger. When asked if the application is available on Google Play, Qualcomm representatives told us that it is not available for download and it is exclusive to devices that come with Snapdragon 800 processors.
Apart from demonstrating the features of Snapdragon 800 series processors, Qualcomm also showed us how these new chips fare in various benchmarks.
Quadrant Standard - The tablet powered by a Snapdragon 800 processor got a high score of 20808, which leads the current quad-core competition by huge margins. For example, the Snapdragon 600-powered ASUS PadFone Infinity, HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4 scored 11141, 12413 and 12292 respectively.
AnTuTu Benchmark - The device got an overall score of 35517, CPU score of 15612, GPU score of 13015, RAM score of 5973, and I/O score of 917.
LinPack Pro - Single Thread: 643.766 MFLOPS, Time: 0.26 seconds, Multi-thread: 423.401 MFLOPS, Time: 0.2 seconds
Smartbench 2012 - Productivity Score: 10301, Gaming Score: 4229, Pi: 15978, Mandelbrot: 15704, GLTunnel: 5650 (58fps), String: 6062, GLShark: 5434 (58fps), GLJellyfish: 2870 (52fps)
CF-Bench - Native Score: 37965, Java Score: 36169, Overall Score: 36887. Far behind it are the Samsung Galaxy S3 (23966, 5489, 13080), and the HTC One X (22988, 6003, 12797). The Galaxy S3 has a Snapdragon S4 while the HTC One X comes with Tegra 3.
Geekbench 2 - Geekbench Score: 4169, Integer: 2861, Floating Point: 6257, Memory: 3908, Stream: 1965
Vellamo Mobile Benchmark - HTML 5: 2992, Metal: 1211
GLBenchmark - 2.7.0 1478 frames 26fps
Futuremark 3DMark - Ice Storm Score: 19722, Ice Storm Extreme Score: 13835
Based on the demonstrations and the benchmark results, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 series processors have the clear potential to bring smart devices like smartphones and tablets to a new level of performance, and consumers to a new level of user experience.
We are looking forward to experiencing Snapdragon 800 processors' prowess through the upcoming devices that are yet to hit the market. LG has announced that the successor to its Optimus G flagship will run on Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor while sources told GottaBeMobile that LG's upcoming Android phone with always on voice commands in 2014 will tap on the capabilities of the Snapdragon 800 processors.
The recently announced Sony Xperia Z Ultra is also powered by the Snapdragon 800 quad-core processors. The benchmark score we obtained on the prototype unit reflected a slightly lower score than what we've seen in the prototypes at this workshop, but is still very much higher than the current competition.

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court gave a victory to Monsanto and other makers of patented seeds Monday, ruling they can prohibit farmers from growing a second crop from their genetically engineered seeds.
In a unanimous decision, the court said the patent for a specialized seed outlives the first planting. Otherwise, these seed patents would be "largely worthless," said Justice Elena Kagan in explaining the decision.
Agri-business giants like Monsanto will be relieved by the ruling. They told the court they had spent huge sums of money and devoted years of effort to develop special seeds that can resist disease and grow more bountiful crops. The companies then obtained patents on these seeds, giving them an exclusive right to profit from them.
Industry lawyers said the system of innovation and profit was threatened by a bachelor farmer from Indiana who wanted to use the patented seeds without paying for them.
Vern Bowman admitted he liked Monsanto's Roundup Ready seeds because they produce soybean plants that can tolerate weed killers sprayed on the field. Each year, Bowman bought the Monsanto seeds for his first crop of the season.
But later in the year, he turned to what the court described as a "less orthodox" approach for his second crop of the season. Rather than pay again the premium price for more Monsanto seeds, he purchased soybeans from a local grain elevator. This mixture, which came from nearby fields, contained soybeans that had been grown from Roundup Ready seeds.
After eight years, Monsanto learned of Bowman's scheme and sued him for patent infringement. The company argued that Bowman was benefiting from its patented seeds without paying for them. A judge agreed with Monsanto and awarded the company $84,456 in damages.
To the surprise of the agri-business and bio-technology industries, the Supreme Court agreed to hear the farmer's appeal in Bowman v. Monsanto. The farmer and his lawyer cited the doctrine of "patent exhaustion" by which companies with some patents can benefit from only one sale.
If the high court had agreed, the decision could have upset the industries that depend on years of profit from their patented inventions.
But the justices decided the doctrine of "patent exhaustion" cannot be applied generally to products such as seeds, which reproduce themselves.
"Bowman planted Monsanto's patented seeds solely to make and market replicas of them, thus depriving the company of the reward patent law provides from the sale of each article," Kagan wrote. "Patent exhaustion provides no haven for that conduct."

What we read while taking it easy with our Irish Lit baseball puns…
- Jim Joyce, before he became a household name in baseball. Of course, after he became slightly more famous last week, he and Armando Galarraga handled themselves with aplomb. Will Leitch said the incident brought out the best in everyone except us fans. Obviously he wasn't thinking of Joe Posnanski, who addressed the situation with typical perspective. Ben Greenman thought the best lessons of the Joycean drama came, fittingly, from Ulysses.
- Speaking of writers (well, kind of), the New Yorker published its list of the top 20 writers under 40. Jonathan Safran Foer was included.
- Safran Foer is one of the many topics discussed in this very interesting Slate interview with Anthony Bourdain. Moral relativism, objectivity in food (which has some bearing on John and Josh's past Symposium), and fatherhood are also discussed.
- Here's an interview with James Murphy, whose album John S reviewed and loved.
- The Washington Post profiles Anthony Galea, the Toronto doctor tied to HGH in sports.
- And playing the part of Erin Brockovich is…Ed O'Bannon?
- Drew McWeeny wonders why Spider-Man can't be black.

Day 23: Tinky Winky (Teletubbies)
Tinky Winky is one of the four colorful characters from the BBC children's television series, primary aimed at pre-school viewers, produced from 1997 to 2001 by Ragdoll Productions. Created by Anne Wood CBE, Ragdoll's creative director, and Andrew Davenport, who wrote each of the show's 365 episodes, the program rapidly became a critical and commercial success in Britain and abroad. Although the show is aimed at children between the ages of one to four, it has been a substantial cult hit with older generations.
Tinky Winky (the purple Tubby) is the largest of the Teletubbies, with a triangular antenna on his head. He is notable for the red luggage (described by the show as a "magic bag", but often described by other media as a handbag) he carries. His character has caused much controversy due to allegations that his character's behaviour carried homosexual undertones.

Woodward Avenue Records is pleased to announce the signing of double Grammy winner and guitarist, Paul Brown, for the recording of Paul's new album entitled The Funky Joint, due to be released on Woodward in early 2012. Paul Brown also serves as producer (of course) on his new album, which includes appearances by Boney James, Euge Groove, Bob James, Bob Baldwin, Marco Basci and "The Producers" tour-mate, Darren Rahn. Brown is already connected with the label as A&R consultant.
"This album allows Paul to unleash his musical roots and just let it rip" says Mark Nordman, President and CEO of Woodward Avenue Records, "while at the same time being true to the sound that has earned him over 50 # 1 Hits."
"Paul Brown sets the musical standard by which others are measured. 'The Funky Joint' showcases Paul's incredible guitar playing as well as his signature sound, as both an artist and a producer. We are extremely excited about this album and look forward to its release.
Making really great music requires a commonality of vision and purpose between the artists and the label…….and we are confident that our association with Paul will be very positive and beneficial to all whom we work with. Woodward Avenue Records is trailblazing a new direction for Jazz, R&B and Soul by fusing music and artists from different genres into a fresh and unique sound…..the signature sound of Woodward Avenue Records and the great Paul Brown."

Pai Gow Poker
An introduction to Pai Gow Poker - a fun game with decent odds Written by Jim Green
Pai Gow Poker uses a 53 card deck (that's a normal deck of cards with a Joker). After you place your bet you and the dealer are dealt seven cards each. You must make two hands out of these seven cards - one five card hand (the main hand) and one two card hand (the small hand).
The most important rule of Paigow Poker is that the main hand must be higher than the small hand.

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and attempt to make chocolate chip cookies before realizing you ate the bag of chocolate chips four days ago. Dang you and your insatiable appetite! LET'S GO!
DEATHWISH MOVERS – 10:00PM (Travel Channel) You may have thought that every occupation out there had its own reality series: pawnbrokers, fishermen, truck drivers, certified public accountants… but you're WRONG. This new Travel Channel series takes a look at the dangerous, terrifying world of MOVING. Yes, moving. China could get broken! Fingers could get smashed! That U-Haul may not get packed efficiently! The danger is almost too tempting to resist. Follow a team of Boston movers (OW-AH MOVAHS AHHH BETTAH THAN YOUR-AH MOVAHHHS!) as they attempt to hoist a piano 200 feet in the air in the swirling sideways Boston winds. Will the piano make it? Will it take the strength of 57 Jason Variteks to get it up where it belongs? There's only one way to know! ANTICIPATION: MOVING!
TOP CHEF: ALL STARS – 10:00PM (Bravo – an NBC/Universal network) The final four have to cook a seafood dinner and – A TWIST! – they must go scuba diving to catch their ingredients. Wha wha wha?! That's krayzee! So go ahead and tape this and then skip the ten-minute part where all the chefs are like, "I have NEVAH done anything like this!" We're aware, kiddo. That's why it's a reality show. I think Blais may choke at the end, by the way. This thing may be Antonia's to lose. ANTICIPATION: BLAISIN'!
I'M ALIVE – 10:00PM (Animal Planet) A man survives a helicopter crash, only to end up trampled by an elephant and trapped under an overturned truck. So yeah, he's a just a bit unlucky. I'd avoid lightning if I were him. ANTICIPATION: SNAKEBITTEN!
1000 WAYS TO DIE – 10:00PM (Spike) Continuing with tonight's death theme, learn how a Russian pimp, a billionaire, an ice cream maker, and a pyromaniac meet their demise. Well, there's just no way I'll be able to figure out what killed the pyromaniac. Unless he was killed by fire. Seems like the obvious choice. FUN NOTE: I'm told the Russian pimp dies of a broken heart. They're such fragile creatures. ANTICIPATION: DEATH!
AMERICAN IDOL – 8:00PM (FOX) The finalists sing songs from the year in which they were born. That means one kid will bust out a Nirvana song and you will feel like the oldest thing that has ever existed on the face of the planet. ANTICIPATION: PUNK KIDS!
Wednesday Watch List: DEATH IS ALL AROUND!
Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and attempt to make chocolate chip cookies before realizing you ate the bag of chocolate chips four days ago. Dang you and your insatiable appetite! LET'S GO!

The VR-700 windlass on BIANKA worked very well for years and did not take up a lot of room on deck. It worked flawlessly until one day it failed. Calls to the manufacturers told me that this windlass was no longer made and no parts or parts diagrams were available. Also the companies Maxwell and Nilsson were now separate manufacturers and neither one had any info on my windlass. In fact I had a piece of orphaned equipment on my hands. Not looking good. But, I also was not looking forward to installing a new windlass in the deck for cost reasons but, mostly because that would mean cutting new holes in the deck. So my only option was to try an repair it myself.
The problem was the windlass shaft was still spinning but, the chain gypsy could no longer lift the chain. Not being the most mechanically inclined person I began the investigation into it's failure. The documentation I found on board on the windlass was sparse and had no parts diagram. Basically it was an installation manual that covered several Maxwell-Nilsson models. Because the motor and gearbox is mounted below decks in the chain locker and the Nonsuch mast blocks access to them. I was hoping the failure might be confined to the parts I could work on above deck. It appeared so at first. I could see that the windlass shaft was spinning but the chain gypsy was standing still. So I began by removing the rope capstan and discovered that the key that sits in the shaft was no longer sitting in the key way of the chain gypsy. As shown in the photos below:
This certainly seemed like it was the problem. Pulling off the chain gypsy I soon found why this occurred. It seems the key which appeared to be made of brass had corroded to the point were it would no longer fit securely in the key way of the chain gypsy. Aha! I thought this is surely the problem.
So now all I should have to do is find a replacement key and my chain lifting by hand days should be over. I recalled when I was on a freighter trip several years ago one of the other passengers was an engineer at the Los Alamos laboratories who was also had a hobby of building and repairing small engines known as "hit and miss" engines. He mentioned a supplier of small brass and metal parts by the same name. I looked at their website and yes the could sell me some square brass rod the same size as the key used in the windlass. But, I would have to cut it to the length I wanted. So it looked like the problem with the malfunctioning VR-700 would be quickly solved. Of course this is silly notion when working on mechanical systems on a boat. But, it often gives one the false hope that the repair will simpler than one first thought. But, the lesson learned is that even though equipment on board is working and looks pretty robust it still needs some routine maintenance. If I had looked at the above deck components earlier I could have prevented this failure from occurring in the first place.

10-Q(redirected from 10 Q)
Quarterly report required by the SEC each quarter. Provides a comprehensive overview of a company's state of business.
A form the SEC requires publicly-traded companies and some private companies to file every quarter. It includes statements on equity and unaudited financial statements. While similar to a shareholder report, a 10-Q form often contains more information, such as executive compensation and organizational structure. All publicly-traded companies and any privately traded companies with more than 500 shareholders and $10 million in assets are required to file a 10-Q. Companies only file three 10-Q forms each year, as the final quarter's numbers are included in the 10-K. See also: Transparency.
A quarterly unaudited financial report filed by firms that have securities listed with the SEC. The 10-Q is a less detailed, more frequently filed version of the 10-K. Also called Form 10-Q.

text: Back Tyrosine Other name(s): a-amino-b-[p-hydroxyphenyl]-propionic acid Unsubstantiated claims Please note that this section reports on claims that have NOT yet been substantiated through scientific studies. Tyrosine has been said to improve mood and be useful in treating depression, anxiety, narcolepsy (a sleep disorder), and insomnia. Tyrosine reportedly can help suppress appetite, reduce body fat, and stimulate the release of human growth hormone (HGH). It has also been used to treat some allergies. Recommended intake Amino acids (AAs) are available as individual AAs or in proprietary AA combinations, as well as part of multi-vitamin formulas, proteins, and food supplements. The forms include tablets, fluids, and powders. However, adequate protein in the diet should provide a sufficient source of all amino acids. People with phenylketonuria (PKU) typically require tyrosine supplementation since they are unable to convert phenylalanine into tyrosine. Side effects, toxicity, and interactions The use of a single amino acid supplement may lead to negative nitrogen balance, decreasing the metabolic efficiency and increasing the workload of the kidneys. In children, taking single amino acid supplements may also harmfully affect growth parameters. Always avoid taking individual amino acids in high dosage for prolonged periods. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not use tyrosine supplements. People who have melanoma (pigmented type) or tyrosinemia type I or II should not take tyrosine supplements. People with hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) should talk with a physician before taking tyrosine supplements. Tyrosine should not be taken in conjunction with antidepressants belonging to the class of monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors.

Updated from 4;26 p.m. EST to provide comments from the conference call in the second and sixth paragraphs.
) -
(GOOG) - Get Report
shares are rocketing in after-hours trading after the company reported better-than-expected earnings and issued a 2-for-1 stock split.
first-quarter earnings of $10.08 a share on revenue of $8.14 billion, excluding traffic acquisition costs (TAC). Total revenue came in at $10.65 billion. Revenue in the U.S. grew 22% year-over-year to $4.9 billion, while revenue outside the U.S. grew 26% year-over-year to $5.8 billion.
Analysts polled by
Thomson Reuters
expected revenue of $8.146 billion, excluding traffic acquisition costs, and earnings of $9.65 a share. Wall Street typically excludes TAC costs from its estimates.
CEO Larry Page struck a positive note on the quarter in the press release discussing the results. "Google had another great quarter with revenues up 24% year on year. We also saw tremendous momentum from the big bets we've made in products like Android, Chrome and YouTube," he explained. "We are still at the very early stages of what technology can do to improve people's lives and we have enormous opportunities ahead. It is a very exciting time to be at Google."
The company said cost-per-click, (CPC), a key metric, fell approximately 12% from the first quarter of 2011 and decreased approximately 6% from the fourth quarter of 2011.
On the conference call, Patrick Pichette, Google's CFO, said the CPC decline does not "reflect the fundamental strength in our business". He noted CPCs are down for five reasons: a combination of mix effect, foreign exchange effect, emerging market ad rates versus developed markets, changes in ad quality and Google.com versus Google properties. Pichette noted that the bidding behavior for ads, which Google considers to be an important signal, is growing.
Google also
that it would be creating a new class of stock, effectively issuing a stock split that is "designed to preserve the corporate structure that has allowed Google to remain focused on the long term." On the conference call, Page said that many investors have asked for a stock split, and this effectively grants it to them.
As of March 31, Google had $49.3 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term marketable securities. It had 33,077 full-time employees, up from 32,467 full-time employees in the prior quarter. Google's operating cash flow in the quarter was $3.7 billion, and its free-cash-flow was $3.1 billion.
Google shares are moving higher in extended trading, up 0.32% to $653.10, according to
The company's shares finished the regular trading session up 2.37% to close at $651.01.
