A judge has ruled that the settlement amounts in four lawsuits involving a tainted heart medicine must be made public
A judge has ruled that the company that made a suspect heart medicine must disclose the amounts it paid in settlement in four wrongful death cases.
Judge Ann Hunter Simpson said yesterday that Central Admixture Pharmacy Services must make the disclosure but delayed release of the information until attorneys for the company can decide on an appeal.
Thomas A. Clare, attorney for CAPS, said that the company should decide on an appeal within 30 days.
Both CAPS and the families who sued it wanted the settlement amounts to be kept secret.
In a hearing yesterday in Spotsylvania Circuit Court, Simpson told their lawyers that their "reasons for seeking confidentiality are respected by this court."
But she added, "I am unable to give you that opportunity."
Attorneys for The Free Lance-Star and the Richmond Times-Dispatch have been trying to force release of the settlement amounts. Yesterday's decision was the third time that Simpson has ruled for the newspapers.
In earlier court hearings, she ruled that the newspapers could intervene in the case, and that CAPS was required to file a court document that contained the terms and distribution of the settlements.
Yesterday she rejected CAPS' latest argument that the required document be sealed.
The four cases
The patients or their survivors filed the suits in Spotsylvania Circuit Court, asking $5 million each in damages. All blamed CAPS for the bacteria found in cardioplegia, one of its medicines, used during heart-bypass surgery.
The suits also named Mary Washington, but the hospital was later dropped as a defendant.
At least seven of the cases were settled during mediation talks late last year. Now, CAPS and the widows of Ralph Holt, Albert Perreault, Richard Mulholland and William Musselman seek to keep the settlement amounts secret. The four men died after bypass surgery at Mary Washington in 2004 and 2005.
The families argued that disclosure would be upsetting and would expose them to unwanted attention.
CAPS' attorney said that the company wants privacy so that plaintiffs in other cases don't learn the settlement amounts.
"It creates expectations," Clare said. "It creates both a floor and a ceiling."
But Craig T. Merritt and Roman Lifson, attorneys for the newspapers, argued that both the Virginia Supreme Court and state legislature have long recognized the public's right of access to judicial records and a public interest in reviewing wrongful-death settlements.
Meanwhile, a new plaintiff has joined those who seek damages from CAPS, bringing to 10 the number of lawsuits filed.
Wiley M. Vasquez, 68, had heart-bypass surgery at Mary Washington on May 31, 2005. He became severely ill after the surgery and remained hospitalized through June 12, 2005.
He is the fourth plaintiff who claims injury from the medicine. Six of the cases have been filed by the families of patients who died.
Vasquez filed his suit May 22. He has named CAPS, its parent company, B. Braun Medical, and the hospital.Jim Hall: 540/374-5433

Building With Pavers, Stone, And Brick
Many of today's parks and public spaces are benefiting from paver, stone, and brick designs made possible thanks to the creativity of architects and manufacturers. Across the nation, new ideas are emerging to create the "wow" factor that people expect in parks. Designers have selected the above materials over the years for good reasons: • Durability • Addition of beauty and form to a space • Cost-effectiveness • Versatility. Whether rough and rugged or refined and elegant, pavers, stone, and … Continue reading
From Seasonal To Sensational
For many in the industry, summer is the busy season and, in turn, the time to add more seasonal or temporary employees. From park-maintenance staff to day-camp leaders, parks and facilities can add a fresh perspective by tapping this valuable resource. But how does one manage these employees to maximize the return as well as their experience? Traditionally, many staff leaders have felt the seasonal workforce needs to be closely supervised and given little responsibility or freedom; others view these … Continue reading
Turn Down The Tap
Kentucky is famous for a few things–among them its bluegrass lawns. What you may not know is that while bluegrass is native to practically all of Europe, northern Asia and the mountains of Algeria and Morocco, it is not native to North America. Apparently, early colonists to North Carolina, Tennessee and, of course, Kentucky brought grass seed in mixtures with other grasses that later became known as Kentucky bluegrass. Bluegrass is unique because it can be lush, growing from 18 … Continue reading

Effective Supervision
Every year in parks and recreation departments across the country, coaches and supervisors take center stage as a new group of athletes files in to participate in swimming lessons, basketball camps, gymnastics, and many other adrenalin-pumping activities. Exactly what is expected of a supervisor of these programs? Supervision includes monitoring not only the athletes, but also the facility and equipment, and the environment around the activity (e.g., distractions). In almost every lawsuit claiming negligence, lack of supervision is included as … Continue reading

November 26, 2014
LONDON (AP) - Charles van Commenee is to step down from his post as head coach of UK Athletics after the British track team's failure to meet his medals target at the London Olympics.
Van Commenee, who will leave in December, set a target of at least eight medals and one gold. Britain won six medals, although four were gold.
The Dutchman says in a statement he worked hard to "implement accountability as it is vital to the culture of elite sport" and his decision has "the interests of British athletics at its heart in sustaining this culture."
Niels de Vos, UKA chief executive, says Van Commenee has done an "excellent job" since joining in 2009 after the Beijing Games, where Britain won just one gold in track and field.

Does a hanging kit come with the vertex illumina fixture or is that something you have to buy seperate?
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Gregory,
The Vertex system is a modular one, you build the system that you want. As such it doesn't come with either the suspension kit or the legs, but you just purchase the one you want (and that way your not paying for one you don't want).

Jumping out of my skin (Akathisia) I'm BPII with very rapid cycling around a mixed state and a lot of anxiety. Zyprexa sounded like a good bet. At first it seemed to be helping a little, but my mind would get racy and anxious soon after my nightly dose. After about 10 days at 2.5 mg, I started to feel more up and energetic during the day. But in a negative and uncomfortable way, like I couldn't sit still or keep a thought for very long.
I thought that this was the Zyprexa not working, and so I asked the pdoc to up the dose. Mistake! The negative energy/agitation got worse. Bouncing legs like all get-out, and I felt perpetually unfocussed, racy, and irritable. I found out that I was sufferering from a pretty extreme form of akathisia, which can be caused by the Zyprexa (as well as the other typical and atypical neuroleptics). It's not supposed to be common, but I guess I'm sensitive to it.
I ended up dropping my dose to half of a 2.5 pill, but once the jittery box was open, it didn't shut. Maybe this would have gone away with time, and it turns out that there are possibly other meds to counteract it. But given some other stressful transitions, I had to nix the Zyprexa.
Other than the akathisia with the Zyprexa, I did notice a small increase in appetite even at 2.5 mg. No other side effects to speak of.

Doxycycline can be used for an ear infection only if it was prescribed for that particular infection after a doctor had a look. Other antibiotics may be better in some circumstances.

I've got a review coming for the Nikon D7100 soon, but I wanted to go ahead and pass along some sample images from the camera that I recently shot (in addition to my Nikon D7100 sample video footage). Check them out below.
This first round of images covering the ISO range were…
5:18 pm
I bought one, had to go through three to find one which shot well on all AF points, but once I did... WOW! You MUST use great lenses with it, but if you do, the clarity and sharpness down to the pixel-peeping level is simply unbelievable! Haziness is gone from the images. Out-of-Camera JPEGs can be printed directly, they don't even need Photoshop's Unsharp Mask. At high ISOs the grain looks more like film grain than color noise, which is a huge improvement, IMHO. Looks more "artistic". At low ISOs the detail captured is stupendous. This will send everyone else back to their drawing boards as they rethink the AA filters on all DX DSLRS (except Pentax who already makes a non-AA model). I predict the Canon 7DII will see a delay as I'd imagine they'll spec an imager without an AA filter.
To put it another way, the D7100 files straight from the camera will compete with Canon 5D3 files until the ISO goes past 1000, and might even be a tick better from 100-800. No joke.

It's a European special on this week's RFU Podcast as we hear from England and Saracens centre Brad Barritt ahead of their clash against Ulster.
Sarries have reached the quarter-final stage in each of the last three seasons and Barritt says that Mark McCall's men are chomping at the bit ahead of what promises to be another bruising encounter at Ravenhill.
He said: "The hallmark of this Saracens team is that we thrive under pressure and playing away at Ulster will be another huge test for us. We played Ulster and beat them at this stage at Twickenham last season, but each year is individual and we won't be reading too much into that."

Besides the punch, are we suckers?
At the risk of stating the obvious, the sport of boxing has taken a big downward hit as far as mainstream popularity over the past 15 years. To begin with, we are missing our vaunted champions and our hated villains. To add to that, the overall quality in the heavyweight division (historically the "major league" attraction of boxing), has experienced a nosedive since the days of Tyson/Lewis/Holyfield.
Duff's Bass Snowboard
Signal Snowboards built a custom snowboard out of a Duff McKagan signature Fender bass, so ESPN Action Sports writer Melissa Larsen spoke with McKagan about the crazy idea and his interest in snowboarding.
To be sure, the sport of mixed martial arts has filled this void in a large way. Since the halcyon days of the mixed martial arts, featuring Royce Gracie in his judo gee taking on all comers, and MMA's growth since then, boxing has played second fiddle. Has the talent pool of quality fighters run pell-mell to MMA gyms because of the skyrocketing popularity of that sport? Yeah, maybe so.
With all of that being said, I still was really looking forward to watching the Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Victor Ortiz fight, a bout that, on paper, seemed one-sided in Mayweather's favor. But there was that intangible "what if" that I think drew more than a few of us to find a way to watch this fight. In my case, my good buddy Slash had purchased the fight and invited me up to his pad. OK, cool. This was going to be fun.
McKagan's Playlist
The Life asked columnist Duff McKagan to give us some music recommendations. Here's what he had to say:
Up in Seattle this week, a celebration of Nirvana's "Nevermind" 20-year mark will be taking place at the Experience Music Project museum. With that being said, let us remember …
"Lithium" from "Nevermind" (iTunes | Amazon): Nirvana were the kings of taking a simple yet uncanny guitar line and crafting great rock songs. Almost pop, if you will. "I'm so ugly/ but that's OK/ 'cause so are you/ we've broke our mirrors." Daunting, dark, beautiful.
"Smells Like Teen Spirit" from "Nevermind": The perfect anthem for a whole legion of disenfranchised youth.
"Come As You Are" from "Nevermind": One drummer. One bass player. One guitarist-singer. Massive sound. There are few better or even in this league.
A mildly interesting side note to the fact that Slash and I would be watching this fight together is that we are in no way strangers to things and events that may have had a modicum of drama attached to them. It goes almost without saying that it probably takes a bit more to rattle either one of us than the usual "Joe." But even to us, the outcome and aftermath of this fight left the both of us a little agape. When Larry Merchant finally said the now infamous "I wish I was 50 years younger and I'd kick your …" to Mayweather, even Slash commented then and there that he couldn't believe what he was watching.
Again, we have seen a lot of crap and fallout and unbelievable nonsense over the past 25 years. Things that are beyond unmentionable here at ESPN.
Sports news talking heads were saying that Mayweather was dominating the fight. Me? I didn't see it that way at all. Sure, his percentage of punches that got through were dwarfing Ortiz's, but percentages only count if a fight goes the full distance. From where I sat, it seemed that either fighter could and would throw the knockout punch at any time. Furthermore, Ortiz had taken a couple of great shots from Mayweather and almost laughed them off. It seemed to be anyone's fight. But then Ortiz did that bizarre head-butt.
Was this just theater? And, let us not forget, that this fight was a joint Mayweather-Golden Boy production. If anyone knows that boxing needs a bump in TV ratings and interest, it would be them.
I'm not usually the "conspiracy theory" type, but what happened Saturday night has got me to thinking.
How is it, that the referee Cortez kept his head turned away from the fight after he called the technical and pulled the point from Ortiz. He did resume the fight, did he not? Doesn't Floyd Mayweather Jr. sort of bask in the light of controversy? Controversy is the old-school Muhammad Ali-Howard Cosell way to hype the game, no?
AIC&FFFCL Kicks Off Year Three
Duff McKagan joins his pal Jerry Cantrell for the third season of the Alice in Chains & Friends Fantasy Football Charity League, which you can learn more about here.
Cantrell has rounded up another impressive cast of rock stars, plus Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Randy Wolf and "Mad Men" actor Jay Ferguson.
Each participant chooses a worthy charity to represent and puts a valuable item up for auction, scheduled to take place after the season. The AIC&FFFCL champion's chosen charity then receives the net proceeds of the online auction.
Of course we all know now that as Cortez and Ortiz had their heads turned, Mayweather then executed the left-right KO punches that "won" this fight. The ensuing chaos and dialogue between Mayweather and HBO announcer Larry Merchant, will forever be a thing of legend.
The real kicker for me, and perhaps the reason I most think that this whole fight was just some sort of crafty ruse, was Ortiz's corner non-reaction to the outcome. Wouldn't you think there would be a whole ton of protest?
And Ortiz himself seemed to take it all in stride, in an acute "aw, shucks" sort of way. I instantly felt myself feeling a bit swindled.
I could of course, be completely wrong about my suspicions. I am just an ordinary fan, and in no way really know how I would react if I were Ortiz, but the ensuing "party line" across the board, seemed to be "protect yourself at all times" … as if it were all rehearsed beforehand.

Beijing Duck
A few years ago there was a restaurant on the upper East Side that had fabulous Beijing Duck (it had a cherry wood oven) but alas like almost every interesting Chinese restaurant (in Manhattan) I have ever liked over the 20 years I have lived in NYC it went out of business. I have been to the places in Manhattan's Chinatown that "specialize" in this lovely dish but am not impressed. My sister is coming from out-of-town and wants me to find some place that can replace that duck from the upper East Side so I decided to put a call out to all you "Hounds." Is there such a duck somewhere in Queens or Brooklyn?
re: Lau
regarding volume:
The original Quanjude Restaurant in Beijing serves up to 5,000 meals a day,covers a floor area of 15,000 square meters with over forty private dining rooms and can simultaneously occupy 2,000 guests.
Found the above on wikipedia, but went here a couple years ago. They give you a ticket with your ducks number, which is a running total since 1864. Gimmick? Probably, but it was pretty cool.
Sad, Peking Duck is really one of my favorite things on the planet, but I have not found really great PD in NYC. The Peking Duck house on Mott Street is probably the best I have found, but still no wow factor.
When I was a grad student years ago I lived in Philly where there was an amazing and cheap PD house in that city's small Chinatown. Dinner for two was only $20 there. It too has gone out of business.
I think a trip to China is long overdue.
re: Anicca
This is all very sad news! I think it is a wonderful dish.
re: Mangita
its like amazing if you do it right
I would look toward Manhattan for Beijing Duck. The top three ducks I've had have been at Shun Lee, Mr.K and Chinatown Brasserie. I had the duck again at CB recently and it was really, really phenomenal. The flavor of the duck was full and rich without gaminess, skin crisp and devoid of fat. The pancakes really set them apart, very skillfully made, fresh, pliable and thin, like the qualities of a good xiao long bao wrapper.
re: Pookipichu
I will try CB. In the meantime we should all look out for some corner of this huge metro area with great Beijing Duck. It must exist somewhere!
re: Mangita
Keep us updated after you try it at CB. Beijing duck is my absolute favorite dish and I try it everywhere it is served so I can relate to your quest.
re: Pookipichu
Will do!
re: Pookipichu
Was at Chinatown Brasserie on Sunday nite.
Walked past a table eating it and the skin looked great.
I found the dim sum excellent but the other food mediocre at best.
I remember Shun Lee Dynasty in the old old days having peking duck in three courses and it was something else.
I love the soup course.
Havent been to the Peking Duck House in a few years but I did rather like it.
re: Pookipichu
peking is an old english tranliteration of beijing, so its the same thing. in english i think almost everyone refers to it as peking duck (i do)
pookipichu is correct, beijing kao ya literally means beijing roat duck
Out of curiosity one evening, I ordered the Peking Duck from Chance Bistro, on Smith Street in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. The skin was nicely crisped, the fat rendered just enough, and the meat was moist and tender. Even the wrappers were good -- freshly made, in-house.
The best Peking/Beijing duck I've had in Manhattan has been at S. Dynasty on Lexington and 48th St. (2nd Fl. - inside the Lexington Radisson Hotel). The food there is well above average, but unfortunately so are the prices. I prefer their duck over Peking Duck House's. The host or waiters usually make the wraps tableside -- before they start, I would suggest that you request they go easy on the plum/hoisin sauce. They tend to have a heavy hand with the stuff -- can easily overpower all else.
haven't had it yet at Andy's but it's on the menu and also stated explicitly that it is served 3 ways (as pancake things, as stir-fry, and as soup). haven't gotten a large enough group yet to go split that order though.
re: bigjeff
I've had it....though only as take-out. Was very good, but didn't get enough scallions, etc...but it did come three ways with a huge soup. Nobody's mentioned it yet, but my family does love the Peking Duck at Peking Duck Forest, in FH....I'm not one who can vouch for authenticity, but we have always enjoyed it there...and they will make soup from the carcass if you ask.
re: EricMM
I've had the Peking Duck in FH, and it's fine for Queens, but doesn't compare to the top ones in Manhattan. For Queens, Tung Shing House is the best bet and Mulan is better as well.
I don't like Peking Duck House (Manhattan) and I've tried both their locations. It's mid-level quality and not a good value. I'd rather pay a little more and get excellent duck.
re: Pookipichu
PDH is so bad and the rest of the food aside from the duck so poor and expensive for what it is. thanks ericMM for the report on that peking duck; sounds great and extravagant for takeout; you must have had some lucky guests that night!
re: bigjeff
Last time I had PDH it was terrible, and instead of true pancakes they actually served us flour tortillas!!!!
Someone posted years ago that the peking duck at World Tong was good, but I can't vouch for it myself. I would love to find a good version of this somewhere in the outer boroughs. And since I'm not a purist, a cantonese place that makes it well and serves it with the buns instead of the pancakes would be fine.
re: missmasala
actually anyone know a place that serves a good cantonese version of peking duck, i love the cantonese version....i used to go to nice restaurant, but it closed a couple yrs ago
re: EricMM
ericMM, was the duck from andy's served with pancakes or buns?
re: bigjeff
Pancakes, as I recall. I actually kind of like Peking Duck Forest....Of course, we always get the duck...but I've always liked their squid in XO sauce..my son likes their dishes with Chinese sausage. Their ordinary stuff is expensive, but a lot of dishes, like the squid one, are the same price as Ping's, my kid's favorite place.
PEKING DUCK HOUSE in Chinatown is consistently reliable. The Peking Duck is perfectly cooked, beautifully presented and carved.
Be advised that this is a very rich, heavy, but succulent and wonderful dish. The portion served will easily serve 4-6 people.
They serve hundreds of ducks a day during a busy weekend. People come there for the duck, and they are the specialists and pros.
re: missmasala
re: missmasala
I have to agree that I have never been impressed with PDH and while I was never served tortillas I found the duck "serviceable" at best plus the overall dining experience did not do justice to the dish- it was rushed and if you don't stop the carver he whisks away the carcass which still has a good amount of meat etc on it. So, unfortunately, PDH is not an option for me.
re: missmasala
I noticed the flour tortillas at PDH years ago. I doubt it's any different now.
re: Fleur
avoid their dinner deals as well since the rest of their menu is so overpriced and generic; you get stuck ordering a few more dishes that are a waste. if anything, just feast on duck. I even remember one time trying to order some chinese greens and all they had was american broccoli.
re: bigjeff
I've always gotten Chinese broccoli...but we specifically ask for it. We have gotten their dinner deals, because they include the kind of stuff that most of my family likes. But I agree, I have no reason to go there if I don't order the duck.
re: bigjeff
I would not recommend this restaurant at all, living right 'cross the street and being semi-serious about food. If you must go there, Beijing duck is OK, and they do have a decent yu choy: once I even had an OK steamed gai lan mui, but that's quite an exception. I feel that their chef is atrocious with regard to any Southern food. Don't get me wrong: you might enjoy it if you don't have any comparison point. But for me, no amount of sweet talk would do it (most staff there are native Cantonese speakers.)
Please note, Flushing is less than 10 min drive away.

NORTH FORT MYERS, Fla.- The Lee County Sheriff's Office has identified the deceased man found in a pond after a single-vehicle crash yesterday as 73-year-old Frank Bishop, of 4850 Higginbotham Road.
LCSO said Bishop's death was due to a medical event, but that the medical examiner will determine the official cause of death.
Yesterday just before 2:45 p.m., deputies were dispatched to Bishop's address, in reference to a vehicle in a pond at the residence.
Arriving deputies spotted a white Chevrolet SUV backed down the embankment of the pond. Also in the pond, just behind the vehicle, was what appeared to be an elderly male floating in the water. A deputy entered the water and checked the body for signs of life. It was evident that the man was deceased. Lee County EMS arrived at the scene and pronounced the victim dead.

Wow, people are upset that Ben Affleck is going to be the next Batman. Like, really upset. It's almost like this somehow simultaneously affects them personally (it doesn't), and they have nothing else in their lives to worry about (we're jealous). They may be upset about it, but at least some folks have a sense of humor about it. Here are some choice tweets on the subject.
Yesterday, we learned why we un-friend someone from our social networks.
Today (June 26), the Supreme Court of the United States struck down the Defense of Marriage Act and Proposition 8. Essentially, this gives gay couples the same privileges that straight couples enjoy -- like shared medical benefits, joint tax returns and more fun stuff like that.
Justin Bieber is the most followed person on Twitter. When he tweets, Beliebers listen. Even a simple, punctuation-less tweet like "having fun" gets 75,000 RTs, as his pal Jimmy Fallon pointed out. The late night host and his staff decided to conduct a social media experiment on the power of the RT and the Biebs' stronghold on social media, yielding some pretty hilarious results.
Today (May 21) celebrities reacted to the devastating tornado that ripped through Oklahoma, and rallied everyone who's able to help with the recovery.
Gone are the days of lifting up your toddler and sniffing his rear end to see if he's left you a little gift. Admit it. You've done it.
Someone hacked into the Associated Press Twitter account yesterday, and issued this fake tweet. SECONDS later, the news hit Wall Street, and stocks PLUMMETED. All due to one tweet!
Parents + Internet = Awesome. Don't believe us? Check out some of the funniest things tweeted by parents this week, including Melissa Joan Hart's son's funny incident with childproof medicine bottles and Jim Gaffigan's vow regarding kids and restaurants:
Another week, another batch of tweets by parents that would surely horrify their children if they were old enough to read. Parents this week hit Twitter with their frustrations over Daylight Savings Time and the embarrassing things their kids say in public
The popularity of social networking has given parents all new ways to embarrass their offspring, and often in hilarious fashion. Our favorite funny tweets by parents this week perfectly captured the frustration (and humiliation) that comes along with parenting
We all have had that one teacher in school we didn't like. More times than not, I've found it was the class we were doing the worst in. I had a Geometry teacher in New Jersey who I couldn't stand because I didn't understand anything she tried to teach. I was a good student, but I just didn't get her examples, and she might as well been teaching German because I don't understand that either!

Cameron favours small IT contractors :: Contractor UK
David Cameron, the Conservative leader, has called the government to broaden its base of IT contractors away from large technology companies like Capita.
Rather than simply being reserved for the the big players, the Tory leader said contracts for the supply of services to the government should go to smaller outfits.
These outfits might be voluntary groups or small firms, but both would typically be inventive and doing exciting things, Mr Cameron said in a speech in London.
His declaration, reported by Bloomberg, marks the second time that the Tories have supported, in their words, freeing the state from monopoly supply situations.
Mr Cameron said: At the moment in the civil service theres a sort of mentality of no one got fired for giving the contract to Capita.
Weve got to have a culture thats a little bit more experimental and is prepared to take a bit of a leap sometimes with a small organisation.
In January, George Osborne, the shadow chancellor, set out a better IT deal for the taxpayer to save £600m a year by opening up Whitehalls IT procurement process.
Under the plan, a big software project would be split into chunks, manageable for multiple firms using open-source, instead of being left whole for a single IT company.
Mr Camerons singling out of Capita came amid reports that the outsourcing groups multi-million pound contract for National Strategies for schools would not be renewed.

Best Virility Supplement

this by far the best virility supplement I have ever tried. The best possible combo of herb extracts. I feel super strong and super virile. Only down side do not take the max take the minimum dose because it will cause your skin to get very oily.

I am going to have to give this company / product credit. I felt it was a great value for the price. Admittedly there were several times where I used it in conjunction to maca capsules, STILL - within I felt a definite stimulation within 15 to 20 minutes. For instance, after I first took it, I got involved on my PC /computer (you know how that goes). I had forgotten that I had taken anything, well, fifteen minutes in, I felt definite stimulation, you know, that special physical stimulation. To be honest, it sort of surprised me, because I was not looking for or overly expecting at the time, I was lost in my PC, but then suddenly I remembered other realities. Let me say this though, as a disclaimer, Personally, for me, I have found that you do have to cycle Maca. Sometimes it seems like a blaster to me, and other times, it seems like the ink cartridge in the printer is running out of ink, no real impression. I cannot speak for you, I can only speak for me. But generally speaking, for those that would say that Rhodolia is better than Maca, I might agree, for sleeping and nerves, but not for male energy and physical vitality. I don't find that Rhodolia does much for my ambition whatsoever, but if it works that for you, then great (said the guy). As a p.s. I do believe that LJ and Deer antler Velvet contributed to the jolt, yes. And the taste convinced me, it was potent extract all the way around (yummy / robust). But again, I often stacked it with another Maca capsule product, though it can stand on its own.
Best product ever

Natalie Portman
Natalie Portman is an Isralei born actress that has a long string of credits to her name including to risque scenes with Scarlett Johanson. Gossip Center loves Natalie and hope you enjoy her collection of videos, pictures photos, at GossipCenter.com
It was an exciting weekend for Natalie Portman, as she tied the knot with her longtime boyfriend/babydaddy Benjamin Millepied in sunny southern California.
In exclusive just-released images, the "Black Swan" babe and her handsome hubby look thrilled to be husband and wife as they celebrate at the Big Sur nuptials.
Finally, after being spotted wearing wedding bands since February, Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied exchanged vows.
Jeweler Jamie Wolf confirmed the matching rings, telling Us "I designed the rings worn by Benjamin Millepied and Natalie Portman . . . They were made with recycled platinum and conflict free diamonds," though the couple refused to comment.
Filling up ahead of delving into her afternoon agenda, Natalie Portman was spotted grabbing an early lunch in Hollywood, CA on Wednesday (August 1).
Casually clad in a white t-shirt and jeans, the Oscar-winning actress opted to chow down at Square One Dining while emerging to find a pack of paparazzi ferverously snapping away as she strolled out to her nearby ride.
It's gotta be tough balancing work and family, and Natalie Portman looked a bit worn out as she arrived at LAX International Airport late last night (July 29).
Joined by her beau Benjamin Millepied, son Aleph, and their family dog, the "Garden State" gal donned a black top and jeans as she carried a large duffel bag.
Making her way across the States, Natalie Portman was spotted after touching down at JFK Airport in New York City on Tuesday night (July 24).
The "Thor" actress tended to the family pooch while her fiance, Benjamin Millepied, walked through the Big Apple terminal separately with baby Aleph cradled in his arms.
Taking a break from working on her two new Terrence Malick projects, Natalie Portman lent herself to the cover of the July 2012 issue of Madame Figaro magazine.
The 31-year-old Oscar-winning actress showed off her natural beauty for the Frederic Auerbach shot front page while dishing about everything from appreciating success to being categorized as an intellectual.
Getting a break in her "Knight of Cups" filming schedule, Natalie Portman took advantage of the free time by spending an evening on the town with her adorable baby boy in Los Angeles on Wednesday (July 18).
The 31-year-old Oscar-winning actress protectively toted little Aleph in her arms as the pair took to the downtown area for a mother/son dinner date.
Spending the weekend hard at work on their latest film, Natalie Portman and Christian Bale were spotted cruising around the Hollywood set of "Knight of Cups" on Saturday (July 14).
The Oscar-winning actress looked her usual charming self in an all-black ensemble as she was seen riding shotgun with her hunky co-star as they casually navigated the streets of Tinseltown in a Lincoln convertible.
Spending a day with her loved ones, Natalie Portman was spotted walking near her Los Angeles, CA home with her father Dr. Avner, boyfriend Benjamin Millepied and son Aleph.
The Oscar-winning actress looked lovely in a purple sundress and shades as she celebrated her 31st birthday with family and friends.
Enjoying a ride in a classic Lincoln Continental, Natalie Portman and Christian Bale were spotted on the set of their new film "Knight of Cups" yesterday afternoon (June 4).
The "Garden State" starlet and the "Dark Knight Rises" hunk looked focused as they filmed scenes while driving around the Los Angeles street set.

The group has set up a Facebook page to help spread the word about their pro-pot walk, which will take place March 2nd. It starts in Girard Park and ends at the Lafayette Parish Courthouse.

Customer Reviews
- Great atomiserReview by Oliver
- great kitReview by EDMUND
- ExcellentReview by Andrew
Good vapour production
Good throat hit
Easy to assemble
Cleaning the coil is simple
No leaks
Simple to fill
Good battery life
Looks good
Spares are reasonable priced
Low tank capacity - however, you do get spare tanks and a handy little carry case to keep them in
I wish the battery would give a low charge warning like most batteries do
Overall, I would recommend this kit (Posted on 24/06/2013)
- Great on the go kitReview by Mr.M
- A good tank, but not for meReview by Oskar
I did vape with this for two-three weeks, however I noticed that the tank system is not for me. I thought it was a lot of work to fill the tanks so often since they're so small (ok, you can fill a few at the same time and just change, but still) and I had quite some trouble with the wicks.
Then the atomizers went bad, I think I didn't maintain them well enough.
Anyway, this might be great for someone who likes the tank system, and it doesn't leak (which is great), but it simply wasn't for me. If I would have known better at first I would have bought a clearomizer, which is the system I prefer.
I will however give it 4/5 because it did what I wanted it to - it helped me stop smoking. (Posted on 29/05/2013)

great battery life, and you have the thread choice to find the right tank or cart thats best for you.
I'm glad I bought it, but I'm going to try a different tank with it because leaks=wasted vape. (Posted on 17/02/2013)
- ExcellentReview by Kristina
- ExcellentReview by Kristina
- Wonderfull ProductReview by Kashif
Having said that, the colour on the battery is still great, though it is coming off the atomiser sections. But at 8.50 for a replacement its not a great issue. The Cartridge for holding the liquid is great, and that fact that nothing seems to leak out means I can have 2 or 3 prefilled in the carry case, safe in the knowledge that its not going to be all over that place.
I would highly recommend that you get the syringe for filling them, so that the outside keeps nice and clean, and you can measure different mixes effectively.
In terms of vapour production it is great you get loads of vape and it feels great smoking it.
The battery life after 3 months of constant use is still great and they are lasting me a full day and a half before I need to worry about recharging. The fact that you have two means you will never be without a charged battery.
One feature I would love to see is some sort of low battery warning, so you can be prepared rather than it just running out.
Overall great product. (Posted on 31/01/2013)
- ButlerReview by Steve
- Top Quality ItemReview by Roberto
So bought the imist 1100mha, best decition I ever made like getting out of a ford into an audi! Battery on 50hrs so far not had to charge again yet, no leaks or drips, feel confident to just put in my pocket.
Good idea being able to get to vital parts to clean.
I ordered extra tanks in black for a change thinking I was getting 5 white with it ! D'oh! Now got 10 black.
Oh yeah, it was a good service aswell, next day for me. (Posted on 11/01/2013)

A good intro to JRPGs at the time, Mystic Quest has aged poorly.
The Short
- Easy "entry-level role-playing adventure."
- Graphics are decent, with enemies having multiple stages before dying
- Large variety of weapons that differ in use in battle
- Music is pretty great
- Ability to jump and interact with objects in the world with different weapons is unique to the Final Fantasy world to this day
- Extremely easy
- Also extremely tedious
- Dungeons can drag on and on
- Some dungeon puzzles are obscure and frustrating
- Story is boring and stupid
- Only have two people in your party at once, and playing with the AI is awful
It ain't Final Fantasy without crystals
The Long
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest's history is relatively well documented, so I'll only need go over it in brief here. Similar to Mario 2 back in the NES days, Square got the idea that Americans were dumb and couldn't handle actual hard JRPGs (similar to them releasing the "Easytype" Final Fantasy II/IV in the US as the only version), so instead of giving us Final Fantasy V with it's job system that was clearly over our heads, they released an "entry-level rpg" in an attempt to both bait newcomers into the genre and...make a really easy RPG, I guess.
But in the case of Mario 2 we actually got the better of the two options (screw Japanese Mario 2/The Lost Levels), so what about Mystic Quest? I mean, it's Final Fantasy, right? Does it live up to expectations?
In some ways, yes. Mystic Quest actually pioneered some neat concepts that were never seen again in Square's beloved series (though they did show up in some other games), but as a whole the game sort of collapsed on its "entry-level" design philosophy.
Choppin' down all the trees.
At its core, Mystic Quest is an extremely simple turn-based RPG. Gone is the Active Time Battle of Final Fantasy II, returning to the core idea that nobody does anything until commands are issued. It's a tried-and-true concept, one that plenty of modern games (Final Fantasy X, Breath of Death VII, Lost Odyssey) utilize. You also get a wide variety of weapons that you can easily cycle through on the fly, as well as a rather large arsenal of magic to nuke your enemies with. Mana is done in original Final Fantasy style, with a set number of spells per category per day rather than the MP system of later games.
The variety in the weapons is actually the strongest point of Mystic Quest, if only for one key reason: you can use them outside of battle, and with varying effects. Axes can be swung to chop down trees or other small objects. Bombs can clear rubble from pathways to find secrets. Claws can be used to scale rock wall faces to reach other inaccessible areas. Also, when walking around the world, you can jump. I know! Since when has any Final Fantasy game since then allowed jumping? This allowed for a few unique puzzles and secrets, and is a really cool idea to mix up the boring "just walk around everywhere" idea.
Battles are simple but have a distinct art style.
Another neat idea is the fact that you can switch your character's weapons on the fly (your companions, who switch out frequently, are locked to their main weapon), which in turn offers more strategy. Some enemies are weak to certain weapons, so matching that weakness up can do fat damage. All weapons are broken into categories, and when you buy a new one it replaces your weapon in that category with a better one. There's no armor to equip or summons to...summon, so the game keeps itself simple.
So far you're probably saying "Hey, this sounds pretty good! The mechanics aren't deep but they're certainly there, with weapon swapping and jumping and all that. I bet this game is awesome!"
Well, unknown person who talks to himself (or herself) while reading this review, I have some bad news for you. All these mechanics are for not, because you never, ever have to use them. Because Mystic Quest is so much of a cakewalk your feet would be covered in frosting after the first dungeon. Yeah, the extension of that expression didn't really work, but bear with me here.
"Fireberg? Is this where the ice temple is?"
Mystic Quest is easy to the point of tedious. Nearly every battle (including bosses) can be beaten by simply spamming whatever attack is convenient. Enemies, while visible on the world map, are plentiful and offer lots of XP and gold, but in truth it only serves to make the game more boring. On top of that, losing in battle has no penalty whatsoever: you can simply hit "retry" and continue button mashing until you win again. While I appreciate the option to restart battles should you fail (hey, Final Fantasy XIII did it) rather than hard-loading my save, paired with the fact that no strategy has to be employed whatsoever makes Mystic Quest almost pointless to "play."
It gets even worse for the "Arena" events. Rather than an actual world map, you walk between areas in a straight line (kind of like the world map in Mario World or Mario 3) and then go into your location. I'm fine with this; saves me time running around or trying to find a Chocobo or Airship or whatever. But anyway, between most cities and temples are "Arenas," where you fight 10 battles to clear out the monsters. Which you do by mashing A. Fun times.
"Windia? I'm SURE the fire temple is here!"
This tedium only escalates in later dungeons/temples. While the first are reasonably straightforward, the later ones are massive to a fault, with multiple levels populated with tons of weak, boring battles and lame puzzles. The worst part is that enemies (and treasure boxes, so it isn't all bad) respawn everytime you step out of the dungeon, so if you need to restart or accidentally leave, guess what? All the boring battles are back! Not to mention several dungeons (like the awful fire one, and the ice/crystal one with multiple floors) can take an absurdly long time to burn through with little or no reward. And don't you love it when games have you get to the end, fight a boss, and then have to walk back out? No? Well, my non-easytype RPG player, clearly you don't understand simplified JRPGs!
Your party is capped out at two, and the game decides who is in your party when, which is based on the story. You can have your companion fight automatically (the default) if you want to watch him/her waste all your spells, or you can manually control them. This only makes an already easy game easier, and since your companion is locked to a certain weapon there isn't really any strategy for them at all aside from mashing whatever weapon they have. Boooooring.
This game loves its pallet swapping.
I think my main issue is that its just bad design. Dungeons could have been made to be interesting and fun: you have a wide array of items that interact with the world, and you can jump. But instead they took the laziest possible route: make them long and tedious, because "time spent = value." The battles could have been complex and required on-the-fly weapon swapping to defeat certain enemies. Sure, that wouldn't have been deep or even that great, but it would have added some tactics. Instead, they just made hordes of easy enemies and put tons of them everywhere to waste your time, because "time spent = value." It's obnoxious, especially since the first few dungeons are actually quite enjoyable, albeit short, so they could have made this work. But instead they just got lazy. There's even some cool touches, like how enemies have a second image for when they are below half-health to show battle progression (a really neat idea that I wish they'd brought back for future Final Fantasy games) and bosses have 3-4 of these, but it's all moot because the game behind it is dull.
The story is on par with Final Fantasy. As in, the NES original. You know, the one with next to no story. The crystals have been blown up or stolen or something, and you have to go kill monsters to restore the land. Every city you go to has been wallowing in misery waiting for somebody to come fix their massive problems, so you go fix their massive problems (with your new companion) and then move on to the next (picking up a different companion). You are the "Chosen Knight" or something, which is also typical JRPG fare, proving once and for all Mystic Quest is completely phoning this one in.
The boss song is one of my favorite boss songs in the series.
That being said, Square's reputation of crazy production values is still in place here, at least...sort of. Graphics are in a similar vein to Final Fantasy IV, though the game is far less rich and colorful. However, the muted pallet grew on me, everything fitting a charming theme that, while never really making me think I was part of some bigger world, was substantial and looked fine.
The music is excellent throughout, with a few tracks being standout. You'll grow sick of the battle song after the thousandth easy battle, but the boss music is great and each town's song variate off of a same theme, which I thought was a cool touch.
|Ah, here's the Sand Temple! Or..."SandTempl."
All in all, Mystic Quest isn't a bad JRPG, it's just a boring one. While there isn't anything fundamentally wrong with the game (indeed, the first couple of hours are a blast) it just has no ambition. In an attempt to streamline the JRPG to bring in a wider audience, Square inadvertently broke it down to such a level it revealed all of the genre's flaws. Level grinding isn't fun if you aren't also working towards something else, like an obvious stats boost or a enough money for new gear. Dungeons and battles aren't fun if there's no strategy and progression feel laborious. And if you don't at least give a compelling reason (aka the story) to push through all the genre weaknesses to the end, people are going to put your game down.
Which is exactly what happened with Mystic Quest, so much so that both me and my wife tried burning through this game before quitting and playing something else (granted, she got farther, but I switched to Final Fantasy II/IV and she to Final Fantasy III/VI pretty shortly after).
In an age where we have JRPGs coming out of our ears, Mystic Quest is an interesting bit of history but hardly worth playing anymore. There are decades of superior offerings available, and to be honest I'd rather play the original Final Fantasy, with all its flaws, rather than Mystic Quest again. If you really want and entry level JRPG, Final Fantasy XIII's thirty hour tutorial I'm sure has you covered.
While collectors should probably consider it (or those with nostalgia), newcomers need not bother. Two out of five stars.
|Plus you can kill the final boss by just casting "heal" on him over and over, making all that leveling totally useless.
