Cramer said Apple was able to beat Wall Street expectations when it reported last week. Yes, iPhone sales came in a bit light, but the company delivered on profits and sold more iPads than expected. The result? A 12.4% haircut in the stock on a single day.
Compare that to Amazon, which missed earnings by 6 cents a share and fell short on revenue by $1.3 billion. Wall Street's response? Send shares up a cool 10% in after-hours trading.
Amazon trades at 68 times earnings, Cramer reminded viewers, Apple just nine times earnings, and that's not even counting the $137 billion in cash. Are these valuations ridiculous? Absolutely. But do they make sense to Wall Street? You bet.
Cramer explained that Apple has lost its aura of growth, which means it's now being treated like any other stock. Analysts are asking questions and are demanding answers. Meanwhile, Amazon still has its growth, which means it can provide foggy guidance, or almost no guidance at all, and analysts will look the other way.
How many Kindles did Amazon sell? No one knows. By how much is the eBook business growing? Guess. Meanwhile, Apple must provide iPhone and iPad sales to the letter and even that is not enough. Cramer said Amazon has no competition, which means it only needs to stop investing in its business to make money. The company also still has its visionary founder, Jeff Bezos. But Apple has competitors, some would argue good ones, which means it's being held to different standards. Is the market fair? Decidedly not, Cramer said. But once investors realize the rules of the game, Wall Street can begin to make a little sense.Lightning Round
In the Lightning Round, Cramer was bullish on SandRidge Mississippian Trust (SDT), 3D Systems (DDD) and Duke Energy (DUK). Cramer was bearish on Jos. A. Bank Clothiers (JOSB), Energy Transfer Partners (ETP), Leucadia National (LUK) and SandRidge Energy (SD).Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I have mixed feelings about this product. It's kind of half toner half serum. It does an ok job as a serum but doesn't compare to others on the market. For just using it as a toner it's way too expensive for what it does. My skin feels really nice after it's applied and other products seem to absorb better. Dryness is really cut down. There might be a slight brightening element but it's nothing anybody would notice.
I have had amazing results with some of other CDLM's products. I just can't figure out if this one is just something they sell to make extra money off women with more money than sense or if there are ingredients in it that (like their other products) do really great things for the skin in the longterm. I would say it's probably the latter but what it does is not really worth the price, esp if you're on a budget. If you're not on a budget, just buy The Concentrate.
Unfortunately for my wallet, I like most La Mer products. I use this in the evening under the moisturizing gel creme... It has really helped my skin have a glow, after a few months the redness I seam to always have has also disappeared almost completely. This promises more radiant skin, and it delivers! It is not a miracle product, but I am very happy with it. Bottle will last about 9-10 months.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
this is an expensive product if u consider its a treatment to be used daily under you moisturizer and serum but it works wonders. I use this product under La Mer soft cream and the results are as promised. The combination of this infusion with its cream is really good, my skin looks well kept and wrinkle free and always perfectly moisturized. its expensive but seems to last a long way. Im still on my first bottle and its been 6 months of night and day usage. will repurchase
Brilliant! I use it under Gel de La Mer or Creme de La Mer - it makes my skin look gorgeous the entire day. I tried it with different moisturizers and it works well with all of them :-)!
Great, great product... This and the Hydration infusion must be one of the best La Mer products out there
More reviews by ParisianThinker
I have used La Mer and switch back and forth with the South African product, Environ. I have been a professional model so I am used to buying and trying nearly everything.
My secret product? Rose Hip Seed Oil, essential oils, body brushing and massage.
As far as La Mer's products, I have them all on my shelf, along with several other brands. I use them but do not notice any differences.
I only notice that my skin looks excellent when I make the products myself. I do not need to wear any foundation. My skin is radiant and it isn't because of La Mer's Radiant serum, Hydating Serum or Lifting Serum.
I received this in swap. This is like a toner and a moisturizer in between. This instantly refreshed the skin, leaving it feeling very clean, revived and somewhat matte looking but at the same time quite moisturized. However, those positive benefits only last for a few minutes, say about 30 minutes. then my skin is back to not so top, not so vibrant looking again. However, I noticed that I have no dry flakes/spots after putting this and my skin stays a bit moisturized for the whole day with this on. so that is one good thing. I have been using this for more than a week already, so far I have not seen any major changes in my skin yet (aside from it being a bit more moisturized). I noticed no brightening yet. Smelled minty herbal to me, the scent reminds me a bit of Lush mask of magnaminty which I like. I don't think I will buy this after I finish my bottle as I'm not really so impressed by its performance.
I just bought the product yesterday and used it last night. My face did look amazing when I woke up this morning with just one application. Its too soon to write a review but after seeing my face this morning I went and bought the radiant face serum (which is more expensive) today. over all la mer products are good. after my very disappointing experience with la prairie white caviar range I thought twice about buying expensive products, thats why I only bought the infusion which is cheaper first, but the immediate and amazing result, made me go and buy the serum today. I must admit I think la mer is worth it.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
not worth the money, serum didn't help my skin look radiant, too expensive for what is worth. probably will not buy again in near future
This is expensive.While I do not see my face becoming more radiant,this makes whatever I'm applying next absorb much better.The packaging is practical and one pump is sufficient for the entire face.I will repurchase after I finish up my current stash.
Bought this together with the hydrating infusion and used it to alternate with the hydrating infusion before application of the lifting serum/ whitening essence. I use the hydrating infusion before the lifting serum at night and radiant infusion before the whitening essence in the day. No difference to my skin whether or not the infusion was applied. Wish I could say that there is a least a teensy bit of difference after spending the $$$ but alas, no. Conclusion: save your money and do without the infusion. Invest in the lifting serum/ whitening essence depending on your skin care needs.

Wednesday, August 25
Angel Stadium of Anaheim
Attendance: 37,009
Anaheim, CA (Sports Network) - Mike Napoli hit a grand slam and drove in a career-high six runs as the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim crowned Tampa Bay, 12-3, in the finale of a three-game set at Angel Stadium.
"We needed to put runs up in bunches. It takes pressure off our pitchers," said Napoli of his and the club's explosion of offense. "I tried to stay within myself today and I was looking for something to drive. Looks like I had a pretty good day and we got a win."
Howie Kendrick posted his first career five-hit game for the Angels, who salvaged a game in the set and stopped a three-game losing skid. Hideki Matsui collected two hits, scored three times and drove in three while Jeff Mathis added a pair of RBI in the rout.
Dan Haren (2-4) got the win by allowing just three hits and a run with eight strikeouts and four walks over six innings.
"After giving up the homer, it made me focus and throw better pitches," Haren said of his unsteady first inning. "It made things easier when we put up the four-spot in the first."
John Jaso finished 3-for-5 with a homer and drove in all three runs for the Rays, who had won nine of their last 11 coming in. With the loss, Tampa remained tied atop the AL East with the Yankees, who lost later Wednesday.
Jeff Niemann (10-4), who was activated from the 15-day disabled list prior to the contest, was torched in defeat for a career-high 10 runs -- all earned -- and eight hits over 3 1/3 frames.
"Jeff had a very difficult day. He just had a bad time throwing his fastball where he wanted to," said Rays manager Joe Maddon of Niemann. "It's all about command. When he gets that back, he's going to be fine."
Jaso hit a solo homer to open the scoring for Tampa Bay in the first, but the Halos cranked out four in the home half on a bases-clearing three-run double from Matsui and an RBI double by Napoli.
Niemann was unable to work out of trouble in the third, as he gave up singles to Alberto Callaspo and Torii Hunter with a walk to Matsui to load the bases. Napoli cleared them with a grand slam to left for an 8-1 game.
The Tampa Bay starter wasn't pulled until he allowed a leadoff Kendrick double and a one-out walk to Hunter in the fourth. Andy Sonnanstine was called on, but walked Matsui and Napoli to force in a run, then a Mathis double scored two to make it 11-1.
Kendrick's sixth-inning RBI single gave the Angels a 12th run, before the Rays finally struck back on Jaso's two-run double in the seventh.

'American Idol' alum Danny Gokey is kicking off his first Annual Run for Compassion, a group running the Nashville Marathon to benefit homeless families in Nashville. This run falls under umbrella of Gokey's organization Sophia's Heart Foundation, which he founded after his first wife Sophia died during surgery for congenital heart disease in 2008. Sophia passed just four weeks after the country star auditioned for 'American Idol.'
Didn't get the invite to Danny Gokey's wedding? We didn't either, but never fear. The singer and his new wife Leyicet Peralta welcome fans into their wedding with a new video, posted to Twitter by Gokey himself, which captures several significant moments from their big day. Danny and his bride swapped vows on Jan. 29 and now, they're giving us a window into their big day.

Congratulations, Danny Gokey! During a recent interview with FOX News -- on which the 'American Idol' alum appeared to discuss his charity efforts through his organization Sophia's Heart -- Gokey was overjoyed while talking about his engagement to girlfriend Leyicet Peralta.

You create and set up a distributed test as you would set up any test, using the SystemTest™ desktop. If you determine that the test takes a long time to execute, you may benefit from distributing it. You then use the Distributed tab on Test Properties to set up the test distribution.
To distribute a test:
Select your test name in the Test Browser. Then click the Distributed tab in the Test Properties pane.
Select the Enable Distributed Testing check box to enable distributed testing and activate the other options on the tab.
The SystemTest software uses the user configurations set up in the Parallel Computing Toolbox™ software. User configurations identify various settings, such as which scheduler to use.

For more details, see Select a User Configuration.
If your test is dependent on files, such as models, MATLAB® code files, or MAT-files, in order to execute, you need to specify the dependent files so that the worker machines can access the files while the test is running.
If there are files that need to be copied onto the worker machines, use the File Dependencies tab. If there are files available on a shared network location that need to be accessed by the worker machines, use the Path Dependencies tab instead. For example, if you use a Simulink element that references a large model available from a shared network folder, you should set a path dependency to the directory containing your model.
Enter the necessary file or path dependencies into the respective tabs by double-clicking the top row in the tables. For more details, see Set Up File Dependencies and Set Up Path Dependencies.
The SystemTest software will calculate number of iterations per task for you, or you can specify that, in the Distribution of main test runs across tasks section.

Air New Zealand and Qantas take top honours at strategy awards
On Sunday evening in London Air New Zealand and Qantas took top honours at the 10th annual Airline Strategy Awards, hosted by Flightglobal publication Airline Business. UK representatives of the carriers accepted the awards at Lincoln's Inn.Air New Zealand won for marketing, with our judges–who include Ray Webster, Joe Leonard, and Geoff Dixon–saying Air NZ […]
Qantas to retire 767s no later than 2018
Qantas expects 2018 to be the latest year by which it will retire its 26-strong Boeing 767 fleet.The indicative timing was the only forward projection of the airline's fleet disclosed to a recent Macquarie conference.A Qantas spokesman says the carrier could look to retire its large-capacity domestic workhorse earlier than 2018 if deliveries of 787 […]
Qantas complacency at its finest, and how Joyce may be its only hope
For some, a recent Hitler parody video explains all that is wrong with Qantas. But for those wanting a more insightful and accurate account, look no further than 13 words chief executive Alan Joyce delivered last week about Qantas International: "It has achieved its required returns only three times in the past 15 years."And if […]
Hold on–is Qantas dying or highly profitable?
Sunset or sunrise for Qantas? Photograph: AirSpace user flcriminal At first glance Qantas's announcement that it expects to make $83m-133m this half for an annual profit before tax of A$500-550m–a 1.07-1.18% increase from last year–seems incompatible with statements four months ago effectively predicting the end of the airline, let alone its claims it cannot afford […]
Government v. airlines as the next step for biofuels
One possible bio-derived jet fuel option: juncea. The series of bio-derived jet fuel demonstration flights that commenced in 2008 with Virgin Atlantic and later Air New Zealand left no doubt biofuels could be a reality in aviation, and the flights helped start the biofuel certification processes.As certification is now expected imminently, there is a debate […]
Video: Qantas explains why it didn't fly during the ash cloud
This week Qantas has seemed helpless responding to Air New Zealand's assertion that the Australian carrier, unlike Air NZ, opted not to spend extra money on fuel to fly around or below the ash cloud, sometimes increasing the flight route's distance by 10%. Qantas was adamant with its short "safety over schedule" maxim while Air […]
Qantas domestic cuts bring it back to reality
Qantas, including Jetstar, will trim domestic capacity and defer or cancel forthcoming narrow-body aircraft, including Boeing 737-800s. Although the Qantas Group's domestic network–mainline and Jetstar–is not as glamorous as its international network, it is profitable and, along with the frequent flyer programme, props up Qantas's loss-making international network.

Qantas not concerned about A380 fuel diversions
In non-ashcloud news, Qantas has found no evidence suggesting recent diversions on itsAirbus A380 fleet due to low fuel are outside of an acceptablethreshold, as we reported earlier this month on our Air Transport Intelligence news wire."There is no data suggesting any of this is above normal," said PeterBroschofsky, Qantas general manager for environment and […]
War of words over ash continues
The war of words continues between Qantas and Air New Zealand about who is and is not right to fly even once CASA clears airlines to fly but leaves decisions with individual airlines. These arguments are all PR control and still do not definitively answer why Qantas is not flying routes other airlines are, but […]

.- Cardinal Karl Lehmann, head of Germany's Catholic Bishops Conference, has announced his resignation as chairman of the conference for reasons of health, the Associated Press reports.
The 71 year-old Bishop of Mainz was elected head of the bishops' conference in 1987, and had been re-elected for a six-year term in 2005.
"The recent appointments of new bishops has shown that it's time for a changing of the guard, it's time that a new generation takes over," Cardinal Lehmann wrote.
Observers consider Cardinal Lehmann, a close associate of his fellow German Pope Benedict XVI, to be a relatively liberal theologian.
Bishop of Aachen Heinrich Mussinghoff, deputy chairman of the German Bishops' Conference, thanked the cardinal for his "unflagging service," calling him "an excellent and reliable representative of the Church and its message."
Hans Joachim Meyer, of the Central Committee of German Catholics, said of Lehmann on Tuesday: "He has set standards through his actions, which will not be forgotten."
Cardinal Lehmann has been chairman of the German Bishops' Conference longer than any other bishop.

Since posting the first of my few FreeNAS build blogs, I've had a steady stream of informed, well-wishing people drop comments related to the fact that I had not selected ECC RAM for my personal build or any of my other different FreeNAS build suggestions. In the comments alone of these blogs, I've probably written a couple different blogs' worth of material about my thoughts on FreeNAS and ECC RAM. It made sense for me to consolidate that down into its own article and refer to it in the future.
The Risk
Let's start off by clarifying a bit… In no way am I suggesting that ECC is an inferior choice to Non-ECC for FreeNAS. All things being equal, ECC is hands down the better choice. In fact, for almost all things computing, ECC is a better choice. Even more so for any ZFS filesystem like FreeNAS uses, bad RAM in ZFS could potentially do more than just corrupt a file or two, it could — and has — render the pool unmountable. Add the lack of recovery tools for the ZFS file system out there and this becomes a catastrophic failure. There is a discussion thread on the FreeNAS users' forum covering ECC vs Non-ECC, in my opinion there's not really an discussion at all in the thread and opposing opinions don't seem to be either encouraged or welcome. However, if you can get past the totalitarian tone of the thread, there is actually some good information in there about what could happen to your ZFS filesystem when the filesystem data gets corrupted by bad RAM. And this is just the scariest single risk possible, there's plenty of other risk out there. Due to data decay there's a possibility that a bit in RAM may get flipped while the file is in RAM and has not yet been written to disk. If that happens, then ZFS will write that bit to disk causing undetected corruption to the file.
Many other comments have also pointed to the FreeNAS Hardware Recommendations, which states:
If your system supports it and your budget allows for it, install ECC RAM.
From these two sources we can more or less establish two facts:
- There's a greater-than-zero chance that corruption could happen to your ZFS filesystem when using Non-ECC RAM.
- FreeNAS encourages you to use ECC in their hardware recommendations.
My Thoughts
As a quick catchup, my FreeNAS box was built for a single primary purpose: to house backups from the computers in my household. After a few months of using my Freenas box, I decided that I wanted to upgrade primary hard drive in my PC to an SSD. Because of SSDs smaller sizes, especially those in my price range, I was forced to do a little bit of housecleaning and decided that a large amount of important of data kept on my desktop would actually be safer on my FreeNAS box.
It is tempting at this point to arrive at the conclusion that ECC must be used with ZFS without exception. Which raises the question, why didn't I choose ECC? And why do I continue to suggest that others consider the same?
- The real-world evidence is anecdotal for (and against) with regards to the rates of errors caused to ZFS and its contents as a result.
- Every bad stick of RAM I've experienced came to me that way from the factory and could be found via some burn-in testing.
- ECC RAM is more expensive.
- There's more useful ways to protect yourself against this kind of failure.
Firstly, there's no debate to these risks. The risks are real and they do happen. Despite what you might see claimed in the comments below, I acknowledge these risks and I'm not trying to explain them away. What I do question and wonder about however, is the likelihood of these events happen and whether the premium in price (for ECC) is worth that benefit. As best as I can find, no data like that exists yet. There are studies that show the data decay error rates overall (see below and comments) but I've yet to see any kind of study connecting those kinds of errors with actual found problems on a ZFS file system. What percentage of correctable data decay errors actually wind up corrupting a file or the filesystem in ZFS? Does the amount vary with utilization? If someone has some data on that, I'd be very interested in going over it. Until that exists, I think people are well within their rights to debate the value of ECC vs. Non-ECC RAM.
A friend made an apt analogy to me the other day when discussing this blog; firstly, consider the street in front of your house. The street is your amount of memory throughput, traffic in the street are your file writes to ZFS and finally pedestrians are your bits of data decay. When it comes to the sanctity of your file system and files, corruption happens each time a pedestrian is struck by a car. A study by Google is quoted on Wikipedia and in the comments of this article found that roughly 92% (11/12) of Google's DIMMs have never experienced this kind of error. In my analogy, that's basically saying that 11 out of 12 roads never have had any kind of pedestrians on them. Futhermore, the approximation of 5 flipped bits per 8GB of throughput an hour is the equivalent of 5 pedestrians playing in the street. Given that the usage of the FreeNAS in my house (and most DIYers) is on the low side, I'm not anticipating a whole slew of file writes having to happen throughout the hour. In my mind, my utilization of FreeNAS is low, the chance of a problematic DIMM is low (~8.34%), and even if I do have one of those problematic DIMMs that actual error rate is low too based on Google's data. However, I completely understand that in someone else's (like Google's) shoes I might have a completely different definition of low, low to them justifiably should be "virtually non existent."
Secondly, I've been tinkering with and building PCs for nearly two decades, I've worked as a technician in a computer store where we built custom computers and repaired customers' PCs and I've worked in Information Technology dealing with all sorts of server hardware. Each of the bad sticks of RAM that I can remember were bad from the get-go. In my experience and the experience of people that I trust, I can't come up with any scenario where a stick of RAM was good one day and then bad some day later. A reasonable amount of burn-in testing, especially a few passes of Memtest86+, should catch this bad RAM. In the event you were suspicious that your RAM could spontaneously go bad, it wouldn't be that much work to periodically run Memtest86+ and make sure everything is in working order. In that ECC discussion thread from the FreeNAS forums, the ECC advocate makes an analogy:
For those that don't want to read, just understand that ECC is one of the legs on your kitchen table, and you've removed that leg because you wanted to reuse old hardware that uses non-ECC RAM.
Straw Man and Slippery Slope fallacies notwithstanding, running Memtest86+ would be the equivalent of testing that table out and determining how reliably it can hold any weight.
Thirdly, ECC RAM is expensive. It's not nearly the price premium that it used to be, but for my last build blog, ECC RAM would cost between $150 and $200 more. Before buying drives, that has been roughly a 40-50% premium. For a DIYer, that's quite a price to pay to avoid a scenario of indeterminate probability. I would assert that in this regard, the FreeNAS hardware recommendations are pretty well written. They're advocating ECC use but acknowledging there is both a budgetary reason not to use ECC and allowing for the possibility there may be a better way to spend that money to improve your NAS.
And lastly, even if ECC is within your budget, I believe that you can get more utility if you spent that money on something else. My point being, the extra money you spend on ECC could be spent elsewhere and provide you with more utility beyond protecting you from dataset or file corruption caused by bad RAM or bit decay. In my case, I'm leveraging a co-located server that hosts my blog and backing up the contents to that machine. Thankfully, because I have some nice connections this isn't costing me more than it would cost to put ECC hardware in my NAS. I'm essentially placing a wager that I believe my NAS to be at more risk from other threats like burglary, fire, flood, etc.. than I do from memory errors that could be caught and fixed by ECC RAM. Furthermore, a backup of your data is not something that can be replaced by a RAID, in this case having either a backup or a raid are good, and having both is even better.
I think that the benefits of using Non-ECC (cost) and the benefits of ZFS (far too many to succinctly list) add up together for a very cost-effective and powerful NAS to be using at the house. Compared to systems priced similarly from other sources, it's features and redundancy will put the other devices to shame. In my opinion, those added features and redundancy make up for the added risk of using Non-ECC RAM. I believe the investment in ECC RAM is a reasonable upgrade, but I also believe that that extra money could be spent elsewhere to help protect against other kinds of problems and potentially to help with some of the failures that could happen as a result of using Non-ECC RAM.
Update (4/19): This blog was shared on the FreeNAS forums which resulted in some good discussion, check it out!
Update (4/01): I re-organized this article a bit and included a bit of background to further illustrate what can go wrong when using non-ECC memory, explain how I'm using my FreeNAS system, and why I still feel comfortable living with these risks.
Update (3/29): Andrew Galloway a.k.a. nex7 wrote an excellent response to this blog that proves as an excellent counter-point to what I've suggested. Furthermore, I think that anybody who's tempted to build a FreeNAS box and use non-ECC memory should give it the same consideration given to anything I've suggested in this blog. If you choose non-ECC RAM (like I did, and still would) just make sure you understand what you could be getting into with non-ECC RAM. I still think that risk is minor and I think it's manageable, but that's ultimately your decision to make and I wouldn't fault you for going in either direction.

Ripe cherry and blackcurrant on the nose and in the mouth. Pliant and seamless in texture, with good heft and back-end energy. Finishes smooth and sweet, with fine-grained tannins providing shape and grip. Still on the young side but this wine drinks very well with an hour or so of decanting; it's an excellent value for Rioja. (9/ 2012)
The 2010 Montebuena is more lifted aromatically but otherwise displays the positive attributes of its older sibling. It, too, will provide pleasure for another 3-4 years. (6/ 2011)
Very good example of a fresh Rioja, with bright, forward cherry fruits on a medium-bodied frame. Juicy, uncomplicated, and very well made wine for the right price!

grassy field with rustgrassy field with rust--------------------------I'd heard about the old car, three miles out of town and all alone. I just had to see it. It was time. School was over for the summer, my friends were at camp, and I was bored. I set out Thursday morning for a hike, following directions that Uncle Will had given me. As the heat was still growing with the climb of the sun, I found the field and wandered around looking, and looking some more, trying not to be distracted by bees buzzing in the flowers, and butterflies and baby mice. Then it was there, just a bit upslope from the bottom of a natural swale, and just below the sky at the top of the bank. A 1959 Cadillac convertible, but not like the old music videos showed.This one was part buried in grass gone to seed and turned almost white golden with the dry heat. The tires were collapsed cracked pieces and there wasn't a trace of pink paint anywhere. Rust owned it, and it held on so tight that holes were showing in what used

A Pocket Full of SkyWhen I was young, my father would take me to the highest tower of Notre Dame precisely once a year. It would be cold. Freezing. But we'd stand there, and take deep breaths of air, and peer down, towards the tiny ants of people below. Down, towards the sprawling city beneath us. It was always winter, when we'd go. Always cold. Freezing, freezing. But however cold it was, and however dull and bleary the weather, my father would ask one thing, and one thing only: that we adhered to tradition."Lucie," he would say, with the fond smile and kind eyes I always remember. "Lucie, my peach. Whatever you become, and wherever your heart and mind leads you, you must always do for me one small, beautiful thing take a handful of the sky, and place it in your pocket.

King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
31 And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made : his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same. | 31 "Make a lampstand of pure gold and hammer it out, base and shaft; its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms shall be of one piece with it. |
32 And six branches shall come out of the sides of it; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side: | 32 Six branches are to extend from the sides of the lampstand--three on one side and three on the other. |
33 Three bowls made like unto almonds , with a knop and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, with a knop and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick. | 33 Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms are to be on one branch, three on the next branch, and the same for all six branches extending from the lampstand. |
34 And in the candlestick shall be four bowls made like unto almonds , with their knops and their flowers. | 34 And on the lampstand there are to be four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms. |
35 And there shall be a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches that proceed out of the candlestick. | 35 One bud shall be under the first pair of branches extending from the lampstand, a second bud under the second pair, and a third bud under the third pair--six branches in all. |
36 Their knops and their branches shall be of the same: all it shall be one beaten work of pure gold. | 36 The buds and branches shall all be of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold. |
37 And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it. | 37 "Then make its seven lamps and set them up on it so that they light the space in front of it. |
38 And the tongs thereof, and the snuffdishes thereof, shall be of pure gold. | 38 Its wick trimmers and trays are to be of pure gold. |
39 Of a talent of pure gold shall he make it, with all these vessels. | 39 A talent of pure gold is to be used for the lampstand and all these accessories. |
40 And look that thou make them after their pattern, which was shewed thee in the mount. | 40 See that you make them according to the pattern shown you on the mountain. |

Recently my friend and I had a debate about Lee Sin's best skin. I took the side of Dragon Fist Lee Sin because it's based on Bruce Lee the greatest Kung Fu Master of all time. He on the other hand pointed out Muay Thai Lee Sin has different attack animations and other such nonsense. So I decided to leave this one to the community. What matters more to you guys. In the case where you can't have both, Amazing Concept idea or a skin with different little qwerks such as different attack animations etc but lacking visual (In my opinion).
in reality there can't be a "best" skin. it's all a matter of opinion.

Mauy Thai, simply because the Dragon Fist Lee Sin model is absolute garbage, it's simply worth 975 RP because "OH LOOK BRUCE LEE 975 RP PLS" ala Frostbutt Irelia (also victim of a horrible money grabbing, the model being absolute garbage.) Acolyte also gives you a pretty great model considering the price, but if price is no objection I vote for Muay Thai simply because you are getting the most mechanical work for your RP.

Not sure..
Gorton Fisherman
muay thai lee sin's walk animation makes him look like a psychopath, and his skin texture is poorly drawn anyway dragon fist is already badass, classy, and just generally well-made even without being a bruce lee reference
Acolyte for life.
They're all really great skins, even his default skin is top of the line.
Dragon fist all the way, it carries all that arrogance and swagger us lee sin players are known for.

made this for drinks after thanksgiving dinner. simple and tasty! can't wait to have an excuse to make again!
This was a great drink for something different than your "standard" holiday cocktail. The pure cranberry juice gave a very intense flavor, but not overpowering. My guests really seemed to like it.
Great- simple yet tasty. I do recommend studding the oranges with cloves *before* slicing, as things can get very messy if you cut them first!

Its abbots were made princes of the empire by Otto I, and in 1274 the abbey and dependencies were created an independent principality by Rudolf of Hapsburg; they continued independent until the French Revolution. The abbot now has quasi-episcopal authority over 10 parishes served by the monks and comprising nearly 20,000 souls. For 1000 years Einsiedeln has been famous for its learning and piety. Its pilgrimages in honor of the miraculous statue of Our Lady set up by Saint Meinrad, attract from 150,000 to 200,000 annually.

Road network | |
The A465 is a major road in south Wales. That part of it westwards from Abergavenny is more commonly known as the Heads of the Valleys Road because it joins together the northern ends (or 'heads') of the South Wales Valleys. It approximately follows the southern boundary of the Brecon Beacons National Park, and an Ordnance Survey Pathfinder Guide describes it as the unofficial border between rural and industrial South Wales.[1] It provides a more direct and toll-free route between Northern England and the Midlands to South West Wales and Ireland.[2]
The A465 runs southwest from Bromyard towards Hereford. It joins the A4103 just before Hereford. It starts again at Hereford, crosses the Wales-England border over the River Monnow, continues south-west to Abergavenny then west to Brynmawr, then continues west through the heads of the valleys region, past Ebbw Vale, Tredegar, Rhymney, Merthyr Tydfil, Hirwaun and Glynneath. Near Glynneath, the road heads down along the floor of the Vale of Neath bypassing Resolven, Neath and Skewen before terminating at its junction with the M4 motorway, junction 43, at Llandarcy.
Until 1996, the A465 ran for most of its length in the Vale of Neath – between Glynneath and Aberdulais – along a narrow single-carriageway road, now redesignated as the B4242. The high accident rate on this stretch was one of the factors leading to the construction of a new dual-carriageway section (the "Missing Link") between these points. All of the final section of the A465, from Hirwaun to Llandarcy, is now, therefore, dual carriageway.[3][4]
High point[edit]
The highest point (signposted) of 1,350 feet (410 m) is on the Ebbw Vale section. It now has a new dual carriageway and slip roads between Dowlais Top and Tredegar via Rhymney. At Dowlais Top there are link roads such as the A4060, which runs down to the south end of Merthyr Tydfil and links with the A470, and the A4054 which goes through Merthyr Vale and Aberfan. Another link is the A4102 which leads into Dowlais and Merthyr Tydfil Town Centre. Finally, the A465 passes Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil (great view of Pen Y Fan from here), then continues to Cefn Coed y cymmer (North End of Merthyr Tydfil), then leads to the A470 link and then continues down the west side of the valley to Neath.
Major upgrade scheme[edit]
In 1994, the possibility was raised of upgrading the whole of the A465 to 2-lane dual carriageway standard with grade-separated junctions (and extra climbing lanes on certain hills) between Abergavenny and Hirwaun, a 25-mile (40 km) stretch connecting the existing A465 dual-carriageway link to Swansea and the M4 motorway to the A40 which is an important part of the link to the M50 motorway and much of England.
Much of the land on the route is undulating, but despite this, the preferred route alignment is considered to be high standard and will allow most of the route to have the national speed limit applying—70 mph (110 km/h) for cars, 60 mph (97 km/h) for coaches and 50 mph (80 km/h) for HGVs.
The scheme was split up into 7 sections, with sections 6 and 7 later being combined into a single scheme for the purposes of construction. The Upgrade sections are:
- Abergavenny to Gilwern
- Gilwern to Brynmawr
- Brynmawr to Tredegar
- Tredegar to Dowlais Top
- Dowlais Top to A470 Junction
- A470 Junction to Baverstock's
- Baverstock's to Hirwaun
The section between Llandarcy and Hirwaun is already dual carriageway. Construction works began on section 4 (Tredegar to Dowlais Top) in early spring 2002, and were completed by November 2004. Construction of section 1 (Abergavenny to Gilwern) began in February 2005. This section is a largely on-line upgrade of the existing single-carriageway road. This section was completed on 22 May 2008.
The contract for Section 3 - Brynmawr to Tredegar was awarded to Carillion Plc in March 2010 with planning commencing soon after, it was announced in August 2012 that approval for the scheme to commence had been given and that construction should commence by the end of 2012 with completion due by early 2015.[5] In keeping with the previously completed sections, a scheme website has been launched.
Planning for Section 2 - Gilwern to Brynmawr started in June 2011, with construction expected to begin in late 2014 until 2017.[6] Further information can be found on the schemes website.
The National Transport Plan, published in March 2010, expected Brynmawr to Tredegar to be completed by 2014 and Gilwen to Brynmawr started by the same date. The remaining sections from Dowlais Top to the A470, and from the A470 to Hirwaun were to be completed by 2020.[7] Speaking in the Senedd in August 2010, the First Minister said completion of the A465 upgrade was the ultimate solution to the high number of casualties on the road.[8]
