Don't Give Up On Emerging Markets - Yorke
Unlike the S&P 500, the MSCI Emerging Markets index has yet to reclaim its 2007 peak. Emerging markets can fall harder than developed in risk-off bouts, but they can also outperform when the global economy is humming.
"Emerging markets had a nice run that started in early 2009 and lasted up until the summer of 2011. Then the market started worrying about a Greek default and the Eurozone credit crisis, which threw a curveball to emerging markets," Yorke said.
As a group, developing markets are way behind the S&P 500 this year but have made up lost ground since the end of August.
"Emerging markets have never been known for their lack of volatility, but they're a box you want to check on your overall asset allocation" Yorke said. "There will be periods of underperformance when emerging markets are out of favor, but they're still an important part of a global diversified portfolio."
The good news is that emerging markets are offering more attractive valuations after lagging the S&P 500 for so long. Other positive fundamental factors for developing markets include higher economic growth rates combined with rising consumption and a middle class, Yorke said.

Hot Pockets
Hot Pockets are microwaveable turnovers generally containing one or more types of cheese, meat, or vegetables. Hot Pockets was founded by the Chef America Inc. company. Since 2002, they have been produced by Nestlé.
There are more than 20 varieties of the traditional Hot Pocket, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner varieties. Nestlé also offers Lean Pockets, Pretzel Bread Hot and Lean Pockets, Hot Pockets Croissant Crust (formerly called Croissant Pockets), Hot Pockets Breakfast items, and Hot Pockets Sideshots. Nestlé formerly produced Hot Pie Express, Hot Pocket Pizza Minis (originally called Hot Pockets Pizza Snacks), Hot Pockets Subs, Hot Pockets Calzones, Hot Pockets Panini, and Hot Pockets Breakfast fruit pastries.
Hot Pockets were invented by Paul Merage and David Merage in the 1970s. They founded the company Chef America Inc. and began producing Hot Pockets in 1983. In 2002 Chef America was sold to Nestlé, and (as of 2012) Hot Pocket products are "now a $4.5 billion category of frozen sandwiches and snacks".[1]
Citing reduced sales, in 2012 Nestlé announced that it would cut employee numbers at its California factory.[2]
In popular culture[edit]
Comedian Jim Gaffigan is well known for his material poking fun at Hot Pockets. This material is so popular among fans that he is regularly offered Hot Pockets while on tour.[3]
The Huns in the comic strip Wizard of Id served a trojan Hot Pocket to win the ever ongoing war against the King of Id, by letting them kill themselves slowly.[4]
Charlie mentions Hot Pockets to Nolan in Season 2 Episode 83 of Anger Management (TV series) saying he trusts him to chose what goes best with SunnyD.
In Breaking Bad, Jessie states that he has been in a motel room "Eating funyuns and hotpockets" to Hank. To which, Hank is outraged and the phrase is repeated many times.

Tomorrow at 2pm, I'll finally be able to see if this pregnancy is developing like it should. I don't have the horrible feeling that something is wrong this time, which I'm taking as a good sign. Last time, from the very beginning, I had an uneasiness about the pregnancy - it just never felt "right", if that makes any sense. We had seen a heartbeat at 7w2d, but it stopped developing at approx 8w3d. When my hcg levels were undetectable by a urine pregnancy test, that was when I started bleeding at 11 weeks, and the whole process of the miscarriage started. About 18 hours before I started bleeding, I told Husband I didn't feel pregnant anymore. I'm past that gestation and hoping it's alive and well in there. I definitely feel pregnant - nauseated 24 hours a day, with bouts of more severe n&v, peeing all the time, exhaustion, ever so slightly moody :), and my pants are getting a wee bit tight. I actually had to run out of a patient room Monday night because I thought I was going to vomit - and did in the trash can in our locker room. That was oh, so pleasant. I will be buying a bella.band tomorrow after my sono if it turns out fine - I resorted to a rubber band to hold my button together yesterday. It's time for a band or bigger pants. I've been running through every scenario that could happen tomorrow and how I would react - non-viable pregnancy, viable pregnancy, twins (a coworker has been trying to bless me with twins, although two babies is the last thing I need. Can you imagine how crazy I would be with worry!?!?) , heart beating but too slow, etc. And Friday will be the due date for the baby I lost - isn't the timing great? Yesterday I thinking about the fact that I would be delivered by now, that I could be holding my newborn...but instead I'm carrying new hope for a new life, one that will hopefully be ready for our arms in October. I'll keep you posted...

Warmer weather in North Carolina has prompted homeowners to focus on landscaping and maintaining a turf grass that outgrows the weeds. Fescue, the predominant turf grass grown in Rowan County, N.C., needs frequent mowing for its growth and development. Using correct mower heights often results in the decline or even elimination of certain weed species.

Faith Cecelia Story Poems
Nelson Mandela
Madiba A man of Freedom, Democracy and Hope. His inner core made of steel for his beloved Africa His dignity preserved until the very end -
I put on my running shoes As first as Usain Bolt, I run. My heart is beating faster then a loud bang My soles bleeding like a spring water fall -
I could feel his magnetic, fit, bare chest rubbing against my breasts. His facial structure was heart-shaped with a wide forehead and a pointed chin and square jaw-line that could chisel granite. His eyes were a "window into my soul", like a baby animal; plain, salt-of-the-earth honesty with a chocolate-brown depth and rich hazel light flecked with piercing cat-like emerald green. His lean and athletic body stole my trusting body in sin He was conscious of the burn on his chest, but I loved touching his velvet skin regardless. Men don't understand that their imperfections make them unique. Never will I say another has given me the joy he did. -
I stand alone
My sword shall not sleep in my hand Through thick or thin I shall stand alone Bring me my arrows of desire, -
Independence day
Oh Uganda, the peal of Africa. It's we the children's dream, To make our nation Mighty. The green forests are pretty, -
There comes a time when we are born There comes a time when we learn to cry, smile, laugh, seat, crawl, stand on our two feet and walk There comes a time when we must obey and disobey There comes a time when we leave our parents -
There is nothing you will try to hold on to. If you realise that all things change, Liberation is freedom from the need to do those things influenced by attachment, Let go a little, you will have little of peace, let go completely, you will have eternal peace. I have leant to only satisfy my desire -
The deepest pain is silence It hurts so deep, it cuts like a knife Prickling and twisting her gut until she loses her Innocence It comes as fast as a tsunami -
I Smile because i know how to solve Problems; Am silent because i know how to avoid Problems So tell me the truth and make me cry other then Smile -
Hiding behind the dark storm, Hoping to show no feelings, Sometimes she puts NO makeup, Feeling the bareness of her skin. -
A Sweet night with you is worthy of a horrible Death! You are the Eden of my soul I Love You to the END OF THE WORLD! -
Am nothing special But am madly in Love. All I long for is him Yet am stack like a reject -
Even if the route to your heart has thorns to prick ma feet I will still walk till i reach Even if my cries create a river coz I need you I will still cry for you -
It feels like stabbing wound in my heart Thinking of you next to her Doing the unthinkable All I want to do;

I attached an example. It was compiled using WinZip. Everything will be hidden but after unzipping the file to C:\WINDOWS, the unzipped file will automatically startup. There is a function there that can unzip whatever u want to the startup folder but I don't understand boxp so I don't know what to unzip. Hope the stealth installer will come out soon...anyway I won't use it :-) I only need this boxp for my brother's computer which is 1 meter away from mine...I'll just stick using the example I attached. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=671797&aid=1682969&group_id=115536 |

What has the discovery of Earth-Like Planets Beyond Our Solar System Done For Your Fi
I have given the discovery of other Earth-Like planets beyond our solar system a lot of thought.
I don't think another world would evolve like us. Something fundamental would have to be different to create a different culture and history that would be odd to people of Earth.
I've designed a spin-off of humans where evolution sent them in an entirely different direct by simply examining a civilization of women having physical superiority over the men of their world, since their history began.
Has the discovery of other Earth-Like planets influenced you?

I'm having pretty consistent problems with my Sling Adapter connected to a Hopper. Whether I'm trying to watch video from an iPad or a computer, I typically don't get any video. This is true even if I'm trying to watch from inside my house, again, on either a computer or an iPad. On the computer, I see the connection going through various stages: Activating, Connecting, Connected, Receiving Stream Data. Finally the screen with the controls (Play, Pause, ....) shows a small message that says "No Video Signal". If I reboot the Hopper I am able to connect and watch video, but obviously this isn't a viable solution for remote watching. Yesterday I contacted Dish support. His comment was I needed to have UPNP enabled and ports 80, 443, and 5678 "open". Now I'm not sure what "open" means. Does that mean I should have port forwarding set for those 3 ports and the Hopper IP address? Along those lines, is there a way to set a static IP address for the Hopper? When I rebooted the router this morning, the Hopper came back up with a new IP address, so that doesn't help me with port forwarding. My setup is a Netgear WNDR3700 router->wired connection to a 1Gbps switch->wired connection to Hopper. I'm using the updated Dish app on my iPad and Firefox 12.0 on my computer. Measured connection speeds are ~9Mbps down and 6Mbps up. thanks. joe.
Just thought I'd share an update to my earlier post. I made the changes referred to above and my sling adapter has been working reliably since. Specifically, here's what I've done. 1. Configured my router to assign the same IP address to my Hopper every time the link went down. (I did both Hoppers in fact, but only the one with the sling adapter needed it.) On my Netgear router, the process is called "Address Reservation" and is done through the "LAN Setup" page. 2. Enabled Port Forwarding on ports 80, 443, and 5678, and configured the port forwarding to use the IP address reserved in the first step. I've since been able to access it reliably from a number of computers both on my home network and outside my home network, as well as my iPad and iPhone. UPnP is enabled, but that was already the case so I didn't need to change it. Hope this helps. joe.
Thanks for the great info! I did the same thing only I have a linksys router. I forwarded ports 80, 443 and 5678 to the reserved IP. Works perfectly.
I have a new Linksys router. My 2 week old sling has yet to work with my Hopper using my phone or laptop to view recorded shows. From what is said here, I'm assuming that I bring up my Cisco setup page and perhaps go to Applications and gaming tab? Can someone advise me or direct me to a page that can help me make whatever changes and additions I need to my router setup?
Are you getting any error messages when you attempt to sling? Are you able to sling on your network? Did you setup your network connection on the Hopper? How are you connected to your Hopper from the router? Are you getting an IP address? Are you able to download free movies from Blockbuster@Home? Please let me know. Thanks.
I got a Sling Adapter last week for my new hopper and it has yet work. On my ipad when I go to live tv i get a message saying invalid finder id. On my pc it gives me error 6. The red light on the adapter has never come on. Call Dish, no help at all, was told the red light did not have to come for it to work. If it will not work on my ipad or my pc and no red light on then you would think that I have a bad sling adapter.
I apologize for the misinformation. What is the firmware for the Sling Adapter? Have you tried using a different USB port on the receiver? If the red light does not illuminate, the Sling Adapter is probably defective. The firmware on some receivers is updated over the Internet via broadband connection. I am assuming your receiver is connected. Please PM your account number so I can have another Sling Adapter sent out if you have tried all the steps I mentioned. Please let me know. Thanks.
Thanks very much Ray for your reply. My current download speed according to speedtest.net is 3.04Mbps & upload is .33Mbps. However, I have requested to have my speed increased to 6Mbps & .5Mbps which should happen on Wed. So, I'm guessing future problems away from home (choppy etc) using my laptop or Android 4.0 phone using the DISH app, will likely be because of my slow connection from the phone or laptop to the internet? Thanks, Dave
Still having the same problem as described by the OP. Ports are open, but do they need UDP and TCP or both? Local access to network like my Plex Media Server are working, but no internet. Sometimes when I connect remotely I get a Spanish language radio station instead of the channel I selected. Seems silly since my VIP722/sling worked fine without all the port forwarding, etc... The main problem is they have no documentation so they just ask a bunch of questions and tell me the problem is with my Cisco 5505, call Cisco. I can program my own firewall, but there is no documentation from Dish. I have over 20 devices on my network, and they all work perfectly, except dish hopper. Going to demand my money back/cancel contract. Took 3 hours off work twice already. Dish: Don't propose I place your devices and my DLNA server outside of my secure network again, that is not going to happen. Not ready for prime-time.
Yep. My ISP doesn't (AT&T U-verse) but many of the cable co's do. For me, all the Sling issues were fixed (no video signal) with update S212. Didn't do any port forwarding either.
Sometimes I wonder if these internet providers who are also tv service providers mess with their equipment/network to make it frustrating for anyone using dish devices over their network.
I am also having much trouble with the sling. I am getting ready to give up and send it back for a refund. It wouldnt work on my other brand new hopper - which was locking up all the time. They replaced the receiver and the sling worked for a few days - still quirky but it worked. I didnt watch it use it for a few days and wanted to watch in my office on my laptop - says uable to sling - or sometimes just a black screen. Rebooting everything didnt fix it this time. I've even tried a powered hub - the only thing I havent tried is running a ethernet directly to the receiver - its not in an easy location to do that - but I will try that. The wireless dongle seems too hot to me. The sling box is a good temp and the red light is on - blinking when it tries to sling. Yes I have made sure there is an available tuner and it wont stream from recorded material on the dvr either. The network is working fine as far as I can tell - I had blockbuster for a bit - and no issues - but they have such useless movies I cancelled that part. I can access photos and music from my local computers - so maybe the wireless isnt at fault. So this is on a new receiver and sling doesnt work.. And I cant very well reboot everything when it stops working - the whole point of this is to be able to watch TV from a remote location. The reboot receiver in the account doesnt work either btw - so thats not a solution. I am regretting the day I decided to go with the hopper. Also I have placed the hopper on the dmz and forwarded the three ports to it. I have shut off all the firewalls while testing as well. I have spent hours and hours on this - I am a broadcast engineer and I cant get this junk to work. If I were being paid for this I would have been paid over $600 for my time - what a waste of my efforts. Why not test this junk before shipping it out to thousands of people?
help RAY i have a hopper and sling adapter hooked to my netgear 23 wndr 3400v2 it hook to motorola sb 4220 i can use it in the house but can not get to do any thing at work or on my phone pleaes help
I have a Hopper and sling adapter. Network is a Cisco Linksys E3000 bridged from a Ubee DDW3611. I have Road Runner Extreme running at home. I have excellent service with the sling/hopper set up on my home wifi network. But, outside of the home on other wifi networks and on cellular service, I keep getting errors such as invalid finderID on my iPhone and on my android phone it says the receiver must be connected to the internet. My receiver is connected to the internet. I contacted Dish Support over the internet last night. They told me to put my receiver in DMZ mode on my router. I did this and I'm still having the same issues. Any other suggestions? I see the sling adapter being useless if I can't use if outside of my home. I thought is was called TV Everywhere.
I'm having the same problem. The installer said it would take 24 hrs. I waited 48 and still not registered. Support said wait 72. Then they said wait a week. "Support" wasn't able to grasp that there is a difference between INSIDE my network and outside. I have no reason for a slingbox INSIDE my network, but what's aggravating is they have me make changes, then I have to wait until I'm on somebody else's network to test it. She also told me I had to open ports 80, 443, 5678 AND put it in the DMZ. I tried to explain there are no ports in the DMZ, it's an either or but she was just guessing to get me off the phone. I have a Netgear WNDR4500. Hopper has a reserved IP address that is in the DMZ and I've also opened the above ports. Once it's working I'll take it out of the DMZ, I HOPE. I have 15 med download and 1 meg upload speed. I can do everything inside my network, but from outside it indicates an error 6, not properly registered to the system or something like that. I CAN view my DVR and set up recordings from outside, I just can't view live TV which was sort of the point. Otherwise I'm thrilled with my Dish, but this and the horrible, HORRIBLE support is ruining it. I've got half dozen friends just waiting to buy Dish based on how this goes for me. It is incomprehensible to me that Dish does not include router configuration in their instructions. It is insane that we have to go to third party sites for this information. Come on guys.

Learning math online
I want to learn math. I signed up for Khan Academy and I like the format a lot. I really like that there are short lessons that I can complete, and that the software automatically checks the answers and lets me continue when I completed a string of 5 good answers in a row (or something similar). I don't like the video explanations though. I'm just not a video person, I learn much better from text. Is there something like Khan Academy where you can do math exercises online but where the explanation is in text?

Online resources for brushing up on basic math skills?
What are some good, free online resources for an adult who needs to brush up on basic math operations such as working with fractions, percentages and ratios? Other than Khan Academy. The more interactive the better.
Seeking advice about teaching maths
I'm interested in teaching high school students mathematics through a tutoring agency. I have the required experience in mathematics, but very little in teaching. This doesn't seem to be a massive problem for many tutoring agencies, but I want to know: do you have any specific tips/advice about teaching mathematics? And more broadly, any advice about applying for and going to work for a tutoring agency? [more inside]

What are inter-disciplinary and atypical uses for math MSc?
I have just completed my MSc in mathematics in Europe. I do enjoy math, but I spent my uni years feeling like a autodidact hippie marooned on an island full of Mr and Mrs I-Want-A-Good-Job. My main interests revolve around humanities (literature/history/anthropology) and economics (but not finance), and instead of starting a "stable" well-paying career I dream about something inter-disciplinary. I am very open to earning little money and relocating just to do kind of work that engages those skills. What are some random uses of my degree? [more inside]

Find standard deviation in Excel, but first develop a labor-saving trick
Help me with statistics and Excel. Especially help me if you know any labor saving methods. I want the median, mean and standard deviation for the average price of all items sold, but my spreadsheet-full-of-data doesn't tell me the price of each sale -- just the average price per store, and the number sold at that store.

Teach myself Math virtually for the first time.

Quantitative finance jobs for a pure mathematician
I'm a pure mathematician with a Ph.D. and I'm currently a visiting professor at a large state university. However, I'm looking to switch gears and get into the quantitative finance field. The problem is that I don't know anything at all about finance. I know that there are companies such as D. E. Shaw that hire mathematicians that don't have financial experience; what other companies should I look at? Is there any general advice you'd give someone in my position? Also, I have my Ph.D. from a well-regarded state school, but I'm not an Ivy-leaguer; does that put me at a disadvantage?

Recently, someone described a 10-volume mathematics textbook series to me.

Unfortunately, they could not remember its title, and my attempts to find it with Google and Amazon have failed.

The Azerbaijan America Alliance Announces Former Congressman Dan Burton As Chairman Of The Board
Carries over 30 years of congressional experience in strengthening American and Azerbaijani relations
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Azerbaijan America Alliance, a leading non-profit group promoting broad cultural and political relationships between the people of Azerbaijan and the people of America, announced today the appointment of former Congressman Dan Burton of Indiana as the new Chairman of the Board.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130213/NE60060LOGO)
Mr. Burton's decades of service in the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs makes him uniquely qualified to lead the Alliance. As Chairman of the Subcommittee for Europe and Eurasia Affairs, Burton built strong relationships with the President of Azerbaijan and senior governmental officials while visiting Azerbaijan during his Congressional tenure. In a 2005 speech on the floor of the House of Representatives, Burton was one of the first Members of Congress to honor the Azerbaijani victims of the 1992 Khojaly massacre.
During the years he spent in the U.S. Congress, Mr. Burton was intimately involved in shaping U.S. foreign policy, including policies affecting trade and foreign aid. Mr. Burton has shown great leadership in bringing attention to these issues. "The Azerbaijan America Alliance is very proud to attract such a prominent foreign affairs figure to lead the organization. Mr. Burton has not only decades of experience in U.S. foreign relations, but he is a friend to many international leaders. Mr. Burton's interactions and experience with Azerbaijan make him the perfect leader of the Azerbaijan America Alliance," said Mr. Anar Mammadov, Founder of the Azerbaijan America Alliance. Said Mr. Burton of his new position, "I am honored to be appointed Chairman of the Azerbaijan America Alliance. I also want to thank the Founder of the Alliance, Mr. Anar Mammadov, for his confidence in me. The friendship between our countries is very important and I shall work hard to make it even stronger." The Azerbaijan America Alliance is a non-partisan, non-profit organization providing critical information about the people, culture, society, industry, history, and current events of the Azeri people. Its mission is to foster an atmosphere of mutual understanding and respect between the people of America and the people of Azerbaijan. Through academic discussion, cultural programming, and political discourse, the Alliance aims to be the premier organization dedicated to promoting a lasting partnership between the peoples of both countries.

Twilight City gonna set my soul
It's gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn
So get those stakes up high
There's a thousand pretty women waiting out there
They're all waiting, they'll never make air
And I'm just the devil with a lung to spare, so
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
How I wish that there were more
Than the 24 hours in the day
Even if I ran out of speed, boy
I wouldn't sleep a minute of the way
Oh that blackjack and poker and the roulette wheel
I'll poach your money lost on every deal
All you need is sonar and nerves of steel, so
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas

Where the neon signs flash your name
The one-arm bandits cash in
All soap's down the drain

Turning day into nighttime
Turning night into daytime
If you see it once
You'll never be the same again
Gotta keep on running
Gonna have me some money
If it costs me my very last dime
If I wind up broke
Then I'll always remember that
I had a swingin' time
Oh, I'm gonna give it everything I've got
Lady Luck's with me, the dice stay hot
Got coke up my nose to dry away the snot, so

Bleeding and trailing edges
Top sheeting attached, time to install the leading edge. Since it is a rather small piece, the borg held it down with a few short bits of double sticky tape to pre-shape. He got the angle at the rib junction first, rounded the top side a dash to help follow the curve of the sheeting, then shaped the bottom. It surprises me sometimes how slowly balsa will sand when you are trying to get it flush to the bottom of the ribs. He didn't want to have to sand it after it was attached, and I agreed. Weighed down and glued with Titebond and a couple drops of CA at the ribs to hold it till the titebond set.
Roger cut the trailing edge pieces ExACTly to length before we pre-glued them together. He is ending the sheeting on 1/2 of the 1/16 thick ribs, 1/32 inch target, because that is what the plan shows. Fat-fingered me will probably add another rib, but the challenge is who can build the lighter plane, the plans give us a 3.8 ounce total weight goal. I don't think either of us will get there. The T.E. was then simply slipped on, weighed down to the flat table [with wax paper between table and probable glue flow] and micro-drop CA'ed to the ribs. Next up: shear webs...........soonish.

I'm on the last leg of finishing my C160, so I was looking for schemes myself last week. Have got the wing finished with Speed 400 6v motors + Ramoser Varioprops, ailerons and servos since this picture.
The best site is definitely : www.airliners.net as mentioned already. Go to 'photo search page' - 'keywords' and type in 'Transall'. You will get all the schemes you could possibly hope for (a few hundred photos). The white ones are good for panel lines. The Manunggal Air Transalls are particularly cool with the red stripe. There are photos of the civil demonstrator - also a nice scheme - after a wheels up landing which will allow you to legally land your Transall model wheels up as well ! I think you maybe didn't pick up all the photos in your search. Happened to me the first time. I'm thinking of going with French Air Force myself. Cheers ! Chris P PS - I think the white ones with the grey underside were painted in the same scheme and colours as Lufthansa commercial airliners to make them 'less threatening / less military' in appearance. |

I had a scratch built C160 some years back, and a lot of yellow solarfilm laying around, she got referred to as 'The Yellow Banana'. Not exactly a scale finish, but it sure did stand out.
She also had a novel way of splitting down for transport. Check http://www.geocities.com/rarcher73/index5.html |

Olympus belt drives are very good, and cheap compared to some drives. The drive shaft is very strong, but only ball raced at one end, the front, the other end is bushed. Try to have access to the bushed end for the occational oiling, set the belt tension fairly slack but not so it can slip on full power. eflight ray |

Regret to say I had a fair number of problems with Olympus belt drive units. I may have been unlucky an purchased from a bad batch but as I tried four over a period of time it seems unlikely. I suffered from two separate problems. The first being that the belt pinion on the prop drive shaft was moulded "off centre" which caused the belt to throw off at higher speeds. The second was that when what I might call aggressive motors (200 watt + 540's) were fitted these same pinions would sometimes slip. This could be cured teporarily with an application of thin CA to the shaft but care was needed when doing this for obvious reasons.
In the end I moved to fitting my 540's to the Astroflight 035 gearbox which is a fairly close ratio match and have found these the next best thing to unbreakable. |

I have had mine on a test rig for a while, and have experienced no problems yet. The cure to the pinion slipping is simply to grind a flat spot on the shaft, and then use some blue Loctite on the set screw. I have noticed no off centre with the pinion. I guess we'll see how it stands up to repeated flights.

Shifty Bat United States Show all reviews | You know what immediately keeps a freesia-heavy fragrance from smelling like a hair care product? Basil. What a sharp idea, that, taking the white floral bouquet into the spice garden. Romeo here is like the Mediterranean, kitchen savvy alter ego of vintage Diorella; yellow citruses, green herbs, white florals, and golden resins create a sunset palette of an accord. Very natural and very good. 13th April, 2014 |
foetidus United States Show all reviews | It could be honeysuckle. At any rate, its a beautifully fresh / floral fragrance. The top notes are citrus, fruit, and, lets say, florala wonderfully singular floral that flaunts its beauty and purity, supported by a demure plum note and some reticent citrus notes. The floral top eventually joins in the full floral bouquet in the middle levelpractically every flower including orchid and rose. This middle level is superbly balanced, surprisingly non fru- fru, and lasts as only a pre 90s scent can last. The base is a traditional amber, musk, sandalwooddelicate and lovely. All the accords are full, beautifully structured, and tasteful. Theres not a trace of synthetic ambiance in the entire movement. This is a light and refined fragrance that is warm, comforting and absolutely lovely. 11th December, 2010 |
Elf Show all reviews | Very strong on the jasmine and freesia, this is a southern belle floral. Lovely when in the mood for...jasmine and freesia! The notes sound chypre-like, but it's really a heady floral. (Notes: Bergamot, jasmine, orange blossom, freesia, sandalwood) 22nd May, 2007 |
melancholic-botanist Poland Show all reviews | Me too! I LOVE Romeo. Smells like one of this sultry summer twilights, you know, the smell of fragrant magenta stocks (Matthiola), honeysuckle (I agree) moths round about, mad crickets etc. Beautiful, sexy, sensual, deep and mysterious, like a dark, indigo velvet. 13th May, 2007 |
Jon_Remy United States Show all reviews | I LOVE this fragrance. I believe the overpowering note in this particular fragrance is honeysuckle. It is the PERFECT fragrance for springtime for women, or even some men (like me). It may be very floral, but I find when I wear floral fragrances I get the most compliments. Besides there are many men's fragrances that could pass as women's fragrances. I suppose these are the "unisex" fragrances I particularly like this one, and am surprised there is not a picture of the unusual bottle in which this fantastic fragrance comes in. I have the bottle sitting on my coffee table in the main salon as a "conversation piece." It is a truly beautiful bottle, and perhaps Basenotes will be putting a photo of the bottle here soon. I would highly suggest this fragrance if you want to smell fresh like honeysuckle and different from many of the other floral fragrances out there. It's a safe bet! Happy spraying! 06th April, 2006 |

Learn how ordinary pets become therapy dogs, and how they weave their small miracles every day.
I had originally intended to spend today (Monday, Feb. 16) doing a couple of short surveys for the annual Great Backyard Bird Count. But Sunday morning amid more and more (and more and more dire) weather forecasts warning of some pretty heavy winter weather coming our way I began to contemplate counting Sunday instead. Around 9 a.m. Sunday I peeked out the downstairs window. Well, in my yard were 17 wild turkeys. It looked like a large group of jakes and gobblers.

4.5 A Good RTS game. SolarNova | 25/12/2011 | See all SolarNova's reviews (19) Advice: If you can get this game on the cheap i.e 1/3 the cost of a normal game, then buy it. if not. Look else where.Having played the old games i can say that this keeps honest to the orginal, both in terms of story and gameplay.The Graphics: Could have been made a little better by making the game more 3 dimentional (more than it already is), thus alowing buildings to that look taller and bigger. Also i would argue that the scaling of things could have been done better. Buildings being bigger mainly, thus making units look smaller. Increased camera controls on the zoom and pitch woulda been nice also. Most of the structures in the game have kept the same shape, though with tweeks to make them look alot better.Sound/Music: No complaints, uprated versions of the old. Tbh if you dont like the music in the game, then u couldnt have liked the orginals music ether, i personal think its suits it.The Package: Blizzard has taken a RTS which used to have 3 campaigns (like most RTS) and split it into 3 seperate games each costing the same as one whole game. This obviosly is a marketing stunt one which i personal will not fall for.You get the feel as you play the game that it has been unneccerilly fleshed out, with both HD and SD movies, loads of cutscenes(for a RTS) both HQ CG and Game quality, achievments, challenges, things that dont make a RTS, merely compliment it. Stuffing so much of this into a RTS which only spans about 26 missions is rediculous. For me, due to blizzards actions over the past years, they have lost ALL credability.The Game itself in terms of quality i would say is 4/5The Game taking into account content quantity and Blizzard, is 1.5/5 a fair score, its 1/3 of a game.Advice: If you can get this game on the cheap i.e 1/3 the cost of a normal game, then buy it. if not. Look else where.
4.5 Great. But... hickeyd2 | 14/10/2011 | See all hickeyd2's reviews (5) Great game. But as many of the other reviews have pointed out its in 3 parts so you cant help but feel ripped off at having to buy 2 more games if you ewant to get the full experience. I have loved all the blizzard titles to date but am disappointed at the level of indifference they show to customers during difficult times.
4.5 Game is great. Waterball | 03/05/2011 | See all Waterball's reviews (1) Game is great. If you wan't to see it is full potential you can watch the major leagues of SC2 that are played all around the world. (Nasl, GSL, MLG). I'm not very good at it but I'm amazed by how top tier players use every single missclick of their opponent to win the game. :)
4.5 This game has earned 5 out of 5 JaygonPrime | 03/04/2011 | See all JaygonPrime's reviews (4) This game continues a very good storyline, improves on the graphics and gameplay and has the support of Blizzard and a very dedicated community. The only thing I find confusing are the negative reviews which are either providing false information (yes you can mutate air units) or down to personal ability and not the game itself (I'm fairly bad at the league stuff too). If you like RTS you should like this. If Blizzard do release more of this then I for one would buy them just as I would any sequel to a game I enjoy.
4.5 Best RTS ever Rusherabx | 28/02/2011 | See all Rusherabx's reviews (5) Star Craft the best rts of all time , thou it took too long :P
4.5 They've removed more than you gain Buyer0 | 21/10/2010 | See all Buyer0's reviews (1) I can't comment on single player, we always played over LAN (I wont bore you with low opinion of no LAN option).The game feels like Starcraft without the Broodwar expansion added to it. Units types feel limited and linear.A lot of the abilities have been removed like Red Archon Maestorm and Mind Control (no great loss), no scouts or basic aircraft for protos, Zerg Red Acid and Dark Swarm, No Zerg evolution of aircraft at all, No Arbitor unit full stop (mothership has similar abilities, but limited to one). No Hydalisks evolution to the underground spikey version, which combined with the now hopeless Zerg turrets mean that Zerg get pummeled every time we've played. The protos have lost so much as well.The only strategy seems to be brute force now, and we've found the humans simply walk through the other 2 teams without problem Small groups of armoured humans in a mixed formation seem to walk through most situations. They also haven't fixed the AI pathfinding problem from the original, where a human places Supply Depots at the entrance to a cliff and the units attacking line up to be slaughtered or wander round the map - in fact they've made it worse, cos Supply depots can now lower to act as a gate, giving the humans no problem being blocked in.Skirmish is laughable against computer, as should you build up even a small army, you will walk through most AI levels and the Insane doesn't give you a chance to start the game, let alone build a base.Buildings also collapse so quickly, it now reminds me more of C&C Red Alert and C&C 3 Tiberium wars.There are some clever new additions, but the game feels very limited and I think it's been completely over-hyped (and I've been playing the original over LAN since it came out all those years ago). If this didn't have the Starcraft badge on it, I say the reviews would have been less favourable.Graphics - Humans and Zerg are nice looking, but the protos look cell shaded and not very futuristic - it doesn't suit the style of graphics used on the other 2 teams (my machine has everything set to ultra).The Specs required are at least quite low. I have an AMD x2 6000+ with cheap 9800GT graphics card and everything can be set to Ultra. By modern standards that spec is nothing special. Supreme Commander 1 seems to struggle a little with big maps on the same spec.This game is very average.
4.5 Truly excellent Leviticus | 18/10/2010 | See all Leviticus's reviews (17) Way back in 1998 a friend of mine introduced me to a genre of gaming known as Real Time Strategy via a game called Starcraft- and I have been hooked ever since.Afterwards I played all sorts of RTS games, from Emperor: Battle for Dune and Tiberian Sun through to Warcraft 3 and Dawn of War. I have been patiently (or not so patiently!) awaiting SC2 for a loooong time now, and thankfully I have not been dissappointed.First off, Blizzard have learned their mistake when they did Warcraft 3. Their follow up changed too many aspects of the gameplay and, although the game was good, it was criticised (and did worse than it should have) because it changed too many of the key aspects of play. This mistake has not been repeated!Gameplay on SC2 is almost identical to SC, only making minor tweaks to controls and the like based on what has shown to have worked well in other games. For instance the control groups can now be larger, and have an additional method of creating them- but the old way of creating them has remained.Some have complained that Wings of Liberty is 'only a 3rd of a game'. This is simply not true. The game has a total of 26 missions and a hidden one, 27 playable missions in total- with a greater deal of replayability than SC1 due to such things as achievements and an additional difficulty level of 'Brutal'. As any mission can be replayed at any time at any difficulty setting, this gives almost the same number of missions and greater replayability than the original game. Particularly when one takes account of the fact that in the original the first couple of missions for the 2nd and 3rd chapters were 'familiarisation' missions to accuant you with the way the new race you were playing operate.Effectively the 2 planned expansions could be simply considered as SC3 and 4, just with a much shorter gap to their release since the last Starcraft chapter came out over a decade ago!A legitimate complaint though is that there is no LAN support, which is becoming increasingly true of all PC game producers.Why several computers all running through the same router are only allowed to play together via a server hundreds of miles away rather than just using the buiilt in capabilities of any modern router is beyond me, but hopefully popular opinion will lead to a change of this via a patch. The South Korean market will almost certainly lead to this changing in the not too distant- but don't simply wait around for other people to sort this out. If you too find this a nuisance, start writing to every game developer every time they do this in a game. Simply moaning about it will achieve nothing!Overall I highly recommend this game. It's not quite perfect, due mainly to adopting some of the bad conventions that other online games have been instigating over the past few years rather than choosing to simply ignore them, but it is very close!
4.5 Great game darrenjytt | 14/09/2010 | See all darrenjytt's reviews (3) Being a big fan of all blizzard games i had high hopes for this game to be as good as the original Starcraft.And in my eyes it was beter, the campaign mode is one of the best campaign modes i have ever played in any game.also the online battle.net feature is as amazing as ever only thing i dident like about it is there is no chat rooms.some things i also dident like is there could of been more additional units added but there is still 2 expansions to come so hopefull for the next ones.anyway i give the game 5 out of 5 i also played in beta and the actual game is a big improvment over beta.well worth a buy.
4.5 Very good. Very good indeed... Unzen74 | 29/08/2010 | See all Unzen74's reviews (14) First off - the original StarCraft. I didn't like it, didn't 'get' all the hype surrounding it and constantly ignored request from my cousin to join him online with it. :PWhat I found with the original game (despite the seemingly worldwide euphoria for it) was a rather bland, RTS Grind Game that simply centred upon on who could churn out the most units quicker and swamp the opposition in due course.So I left the original game, on the shelf and gathering dust. On a whim, I thought I'd get StarCraft 2 - thinking that they should have moved the genre on somewhat since 1998 and the original games' release. And how glad I was that I did that.Put simply, the production values of SC2 are superb. I'm not quite sure if naujok was playing the same game (?) as the names on the credits as the end scroll for several minutes. I think I have only seen Mass Effect 2 have a similar amount of staff working on one title. You can definitely tell that all the individual parts to the game have been crafted well and combine to make for a great RTS experience. Little additions like the Arnie-style voice of the Thor pilot and even the Thor walker itself being folded up to be transported by the air units shows some of the detail added to the game.The single player campaign itself is a brilliant and varied selection of 25 missions (26 if you manage to unlock the Secret Mission) - most with diffierent objectives and goals to complete. There are usually bonus missions within the main mission itself that obviously are down to the player to choose whether or not to pursue. Key to these bonus missions are the chance to recover either Zerg or Protoss research items which can then be utilised to help and improve your units on future missions.As for an RTS style? SC2 is much more like Command & Conquer of old, rather than the likes of Company of Heroes. There is the distinct rock-scissors-paper method of utilising units - some being exceptional at ground attack, but totally open to attack from the air. And vice versa.The story does progress well indeed - certainly well enough that once I completed it, I was looking forward to the release of the future expansions.Despite all that, it doesn't take top slot for my favoutite RTS. Company of Heroes still retains that title and I suspect that for me anyway, it will take something VERY special indeed to budge it from its throne. However, StarCraft is a superb RTS in its own right and if like me, you didn't like (or play) the original - don't let that put you off this time around.
4.5 Overhyped naujoks | 27/08/2010 | See all naujoks's reviews (4) I am only interested in the single player campaign.Graphics are really dated looking, effects are lame, buildings still have square footprint and can only be placed in one direction. Music during missions so bad and inappropriate it got switched off immediately. Story doesn't get well explained, cut scenes bore me, characters leave me unemotional towards them. Two stars only because for some reason I yet felt compelled to complete the campaign. That must mean something.
