Shanghai represents the third Dunhill Home project and the second Vacheron Constantin Mansion in the world. Vacheron's first is its Geneva headquarters. The other Dunhill Homes consist of London's Bourdon House, which opened in September, and a space in Tokyo's Ginza Chuo Street that launched in December 2007.
The Shanghai project was two years in the making, starting with the location scout. "Two years ago we discovered the place, and when you walk in, there is a spirit about it," enthused Vacheron Constantin's Asia-Pacific managing director Yann Bouillonnec. "It is in the center of Shanghai, on Huaihai Lu, which is very busy, but when you walk in [the lane], it is very quiet with a garden."
Debelle de Montby explained that conventional wisdom directed them toward the trendier, higher-profile, more international retail districts of Nanjing Lu and the Bund. However, after coming to Shanghai in 1996 and falling in love with the city and its history, he held out for the former concession and historic shopping avenue that has the most cachet with native Shanghainese.
Dunhill entered the Mainland market in 1992, making it among the earliest international brands here, and it remains a leader in men's wear. Dunhill has 100 stores in Asia, spanning Hong Kong, China, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and, more recently, India.
"We have worked hard at building our men's wear and leather accessories ranges across China. We have a strong and growing leather assortment that targets both gifting and self-purchase and also allows us the appeal to the rapidly increasing businesswomen sector in China who need to carry serious business cases," specified Durnin.
Meanwhile, Vacheron has been quietly tapping into the growing Chinese love affair with timepieces. The brand, which first had a presence in China in 1845, relaunched on the Mainland in 1996, and now has 20 doors in about 15 cities. Bouillonnec said the brand is still "very male" in orientation, but women are increasingly interested in timepieces and now make up 30 percent of the brand's sales in China.
"China is one of the countries with the most numbers of successful women in business," Bouillonnec said. "Chinese women are strong and work hard to achieve success. We are offering more and more mechanical watches for women."
Although they were in the works for some time, the Richemont villas are opening at a precarious time, as the global recession begins to hit Mainland China, but company executives stressed the project is about long-term branding, not sales. "If times are difficult, we should provide better products and service, showing what makes us different from our competitors," Bouillonnec said. "When your brand is 250 years old, you don't think about daily economics, you think about 10, 20, 50 years into the future."

<< Balbadd Arc >> 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 |
Sinbad has joined the Fog Troop and takes Alibaba to the palace. Here Alibaba appeals for the welfare of the people, but King Ahbmad dismisses his words. With the arrival of the priest of the Kou Empire, Judar, events move towards disaster for Aladdin.
— Crunchyroll
While Aladdin looks at Judal with such curiosity, Ugo's head is seen for a brief moment. The banker introduces himself to Sinbad and Alibaba, and then, Judal appears and explains that he is Kou Empire's priest. Ahbmad informs Sinbad that he will relinquish his trading authority to the Kou Empire because he has trust Banker with the economic recovery. Alibaba tries to break through and demands Ahbmad to listen to him. Later that night, Aladdin asks Alibaba what has happened, and Alibaba replies that Ahbmad only answers to Sinbad. Aladdin points to the crowd yelling for Alibaba and explains that Alibaba did good. Alibaba wonders how he will break the news, and Jafar enters the room to tell them that Sinbad is ready. Outside, Sinbad asks Alibaba to stand with him. While Sinbad explains the situation to the slums, he reassures them that they have fought fair for the first time. He reminds them what they are fighting for. He tells them if all's loss, he will welcome to his country.
High in the sky, Judal calls to Sinbad and hops down. Sinbad asks Judal what is he up to, and Judal replies war. Judal informs him that the Kou Empire has tons of warriors and power. He asks Sinbad to team with him to conquer the world. Jafar informs Aladdin that Judal is another Magi. When Judal sees Aladdin, he wonders about the Rukh around him. Then, Sinbad explains that Aladdin is a Magi which shocks Judal. Judal greets Aladdin, and when Aladdin tries to accept his handshake, Judal punches Aladdin in the face. Judal asks Aladdin if he has pick a king's candidate. He uses his eyes and spots the crest on Alibaba's dagger. Judal finds Alibaba amusing, and Aladdin tells Judal that Alibaba has a brave heart.
When Judal pulls out his magical wand out of his shirt, he blasts Alibaba. Aladdin powers up his staff with his Rukh, and Judal is amused with Aladdin challenging him. When Sinbad tells the Magi to stop, Judal states that this is a battle between Magi and that Sinbad has no Djinn Metal on him. Sinbad tries to have Masrur attack Judal, but it looks like Household Vessels do not work on Judal. After Judal has fire Magoi at Aladdin, Aladdin reflects the attack. Judal asks Aladdin that they should have a magic fight instead of using Magoi/Rukh. Judal creates lightning magic from his Rukh and attacks Aladdin. Ugo emerges and protects Aladdin, and Judal acknowledges Aladdin's powers. Next, Judal summons all the water and freezes into ice. He levitates into the air and begins to shape the ice into many shards. The ground is pounded by the icicle spears, and Judal summons more. Before Judal can attack again, Aladdin has Ugo jump in the air and deliver a powerful karate chop on Judal. Though, Judal's barrier absorbs some of the impact. On the ground, Judal tries to stab Aladdin with the remaining ice spears in the air, but Ugo blocks the attack. Aladdin climbs up on Ugo and attempts to blow on the flute. Ugo buffs off the ice shards and magoi begins to bleed out of him.
With Ugo's magoi flowing out, Aladdin demands Judal why is he doing this. Judal replies that he is bored and itching to fight. Aladdin tells Ugo to go back inside of the flute, yet Ugo continues to stand up. With some of Ugo's flashbacks flow by, Judal strikes Aladdin with a lightning bolt. In the nick of time, Morgiana saves Aladdin. Alibaba lunges on Judal, and when Judal states that physical attacks don't work, Alibaba uses his some of Amon's power to cut through Judal's barrier. Alibaba manages to break through and cut Judal's left cheek. When Judal states that he will kill Aladdin after having his fill of the battle, Ugo attacks Judal. Judal fights back only to overwhelmed by Ugo. He yells to Aladdin that he is not fighting fair since Ugo is using someone else's Magoi and that Ugo is not Aladdin's Djinn. When Judal impales Ugo with a giant icicle shard, Ugo crushes Judal. Judal's body drops on the ground all mangled up.

Sentiment is driving large daily swings as traders vacillate between the fear that oil prices will hit consumers and derail the recovery, and the euphoria that the U.S. labor market is turning a corner.
Reports of escalated fighting in Libya and protests in Bahrain, Yemen and top oil-exporter Saudi Arabia rattled investors on Friday — oil rose, equities fell.
"We are in such a sentiment-driven market right now and everyone is watching the equity market with one eye and oil and commodity markets with the other," said Michael James, a senior trader at Wedbush Morgan in Los Angeles.
Some hedge funds are trading the inverse correlations between oil and equities that have grown in recent weeks, while other investors are shifting their exposure to oil stocks and paring back in overvalued areas of the market.
Through it all the S&P 500 is down less than 2 percent from a near three-year high hit in late February, which even bears concede is a remarkably robust performance. Last week, stocks ended flat.
So far the trade seems to be a reallocation of risk within equities rather than a move out of stocks altogether.
Zahid Siddique, a portfolio manager at the Gabelli Equity Trust, has used the turmoil as a chance to raise his exposure to energy stocks, which have surged with oil prices.
The S&P energy sector has risen 10 percent since the middle of January when troubles in the Arab world began. Since then the wider market has crept up by just a fraction of that. Over the same period Brent crude oil rose nearly 18 percent to more than $116 per barrel.
"These type of crises make you refresh your portfolio and just take another look," Siddique said. "Near-term we may have some volatility in the market ... although the markets could still trend higher within that."
In the energy sector Siddique has added to positions in Suncor Energy, Marathon Oil and Exxon Mobil.
At the same time he has taken the opportunity to pare back positions that he believes are starting to look over-priced. Those include Deere & Coand Caterpillar Inc.
If oil prices spike higher, other areas of the market could start to look more vulnerable.
Barry Knapp, managing director of equity research at Barclays Capital in New York, recently downgraded the consumer discretionary sector, a move he partly attributes to risks posed by higher oil prices.
"If there is one sector that is particularly vulnerable, it would be the consumer discretionary sector," Knapp said.
That sector is the only cyclical sector that Knapp has underweighted as he continues to believe the economy will strengthen.
"On balance we do not think that this oil price supply shock is going to be strong enough to offset the economic momentum," he said.
Spending, savings and jobs data during the week continued to inspire confidence in the consumer. Although Friday's payrolls report fell short of the fireworks the market expected, many investors feel the jobs situation has finally turned.
That is feeding into general optimism that the recovery is becoming self sustaining and will continue after the Federal Reserve stops its stimulative asset purchases later this year.
"The game changer for this market is and continues to be the consumer," said Douglas Cote, a senior market strategist at ING Investment Management in New York. "The consumer, despite 9 percent unemployment, is setting records in not only in their incomes but their spending."
That theory will be tested again this week when consumer confidence and retail sales data are published on Friday.
The Reuters consensus forecast is that confidence will ease slightly in March. Any indication that consumers are less stalwart about rising energy and gasoline prices could be a warning sign.

Bought pedestal for storage. We customized height with cabinets, but NO bottles for Detergent /softner, spray bottles etc do not fit! WASTE OF MONEY
February 11, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by Meow Waste of money
extremely overpriced for a drawer.
standard detergent bottles don't fit - you have to lay them down, which can spill or leak.
Makes washer and dryer too high and closes in a small laundry room.
I strongly regret buying them.

Love to bring my front load washer to great height so I don't have to bend down to do laundry.

Rated 1 out of 5 by ShannonB. Get it up off the floor, thats about it
My old set (another brand) had pedestals that were big enough to put a bottle of laundry soap or fabric softener in.. these do not. So basically the only thing they do is hold the units up off the floor.. not a good bang for the buck..
November 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lisabeatty32 Very Nice
Bought this stand for my LG dryer. It's very sturdy, made well, ample storage and perfect height. I didn't give 5 stars for price. I really don't think this should be more than $120.00. BUT I needed it and just went with it. Overall, it's a good product, just expensive.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Lindak Gets washer and dryer to a convenient height
The pedestals do match the appliances very well in finish and style. I think the washer may shake a little more due to the added height, but this has caused no problems. I did make sure the machine is level, and the pedestal does seem sturdy. Of course, the extra storage is nice, but perhaps the best thing is it makes the washing machine maintenance of cleaning the filter and draining the water much easier.
May 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Den13 Very Convenient!
I was hesitant to purchase the drawer unit at first but decided I didn't want to bend over more than necessary when handling the clothes. I was also concerned with the washer's stability when using the stand until I was convinced by the salesman that it wasn't a problem. He was correct! This stand is a very sturdy platform that's well made. I am extremely happy with it. The only real issue is that some of your standard containers do not fit standing up because the unit isn't tall enough! I'm over 6 feet and wouldn't mind if they made these stands a few extra inches taller!
April 12, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lois The good and the bad
I purchased pedestals for my washer and dryer. I purchased them for two reasons: One was to raise the height and reduce the need to bend since the doors on the machines are pretty low otherwise. Two was to be able to store my laundry chemicals in them. The door height for me with the pedestals is perfect. However, I am unable to fit even the standard size detergent bottles in the drawers. I gave these pedestals a low score for value because, for the price of them, all they are doing is raising the height of the washer and dryer. The only thing I currently store in them are extra cloths to wipe the water that remains on the gasket at the end of the wash cycle.

Deoxycholic acid, also known as deoxycholate, cholanoic acid, and 3α,12α-dihydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid, is a bile acid. Deoxycholic acid is one of the secondary bile acids, which are metabolic byproducts of intestinal bacteria. The two primary bile acids secreted by the liver are cholic acid and chenodeoxycholic acid. Bacteria metabolize chenodeoxycholic acid into the secondary bile acid lithocholic acid, and they metabolize cholic acid into deoxycholic acid. There are additional secondary bile acids, such as ursodeoxycholic acid. Deoxycholic acid is soluble in alcohol and acetic acid. When pure, it comes in a white to off-white crystalline powder form.
Deoxycholic acid has been used since its discovery in various fields of human medicine. In the human body deoxycholic acid is used in the emulsification of fats for the absorption in the intestine. It has, in some countries (including Switzerland) been licensed as an emulsifier in food industry,[3] but it is no longer common. Outside the body it is used in experimental basis of cholagogues and is also in use to prevent and dissolve gallstones.[4][5]
Sodium deoxycholate, the sodium salt of deoxycholic acid, is frequently used in mesotherapy injections, mixed with phosphatidylcholine.[6]
In research deoxycholic acid is used as a mild detergent for the isolation of membrane associated proteins. The critical micelle concentration for deoxycholic acid is approximately 2.4-4 mM.[7]
Sodium deoxycholate, the sodium salt of deoxycholic acid, is often used as a biological detergent to lyse cells and solubilise cellular and membrane components.[8]
Deoxycholates and bile acid derivatives in general are actively being studied as structures for incorporation in nanotechnology.[9] They also have found application in microlithography as photoresistant components.[10][11]
There is promising research to suggest the use of deoxycholic acid may be a viable alternative to surgical excision in the treatment of lipomas.[12]
Research in immunology[edit]
Its function as a detergent and isolating agent for membrane proteins also suits it for production of Outer Membrane Protein (OMP) vaccines such as MenB, a Norwegian vaccine developed in the early 1990s.[13] The MeNZB vaccine was produced using the same method.[14]
In China, the traditional medicine "Niuhuang", which in Chinese means "Oxen Yellow" and is actually bilestone of oxen, has been in use for two millennia in the unproven belief that it treats inflammations and enhances the immune system.[15] One of its main components is DCA.
Some European publications point towards the effect of DCA as an immunostimulant[16][17] of the unspecific immune system, activating its main actors, the macrophages. According to these publications, a sufficient amount of DCA in the human body would correspond with a good immune reaction of the unspecific immune system. Clinical studies conducted in the 1970s and 1980s confirm the expectation, that DCA is involved in the natural healing processes of local inflammations,[18][19] different types of herpes,[20][21] and possibly cancer.[22][23] Due to the same acronym as another potential cancer treatment, DCA is often confused with Dichloroacetic acid.

From my understanding I need to run a 3.3 ohms resister in the yellow cord under the seat so that the air bag light will not come on right?
Other question is there a way to take the airbag system off the 2010 bench seat and install on the 2006 non air bag seats, instead of running the 3.3 ohms resister. Also is there anything else I have missed that I need to do?
I searched and read all the seat swaps post but still have question. Thanks

Tidbit: Conrad Grebel is about generations. What heirloom do you own that belonged to your grandparents or great-grandparents? What does that heirloom mean to you? Many memories are spent around a family table enjoying great food and time together. As plates, glasses and silverware scrape along the table top those marks become stories to later generations.

I have to confess that while I cook through the recipe collection of Grandma Edna, I feel somewhat like Amy Adams in Julie & Julia. While I'm not cooking through Julia Child's collection, or trying to master the art of French cooking, I'm cooking and baking recipes of a woman who was known for her excellent cooking. I can tell by the simplicity of the recipe card that Grandma Edna had many of the recipes in her head.

Immersion Powers Tactile Effects In Samsung GALAXY Gear
Immersion Corporation (Nasdaq:IMMR), the leading developer and licensor of touch feedback technology, today announced the Samsung GALAXY Gear, a wearable companion device, incorporates Immersion's TouchSense® technology as part the user interface, providing tactile notifications and alerts to communicate information to its users.
"Tactile effects open a powerful communication channel between wearable devices and their users.

"We are pleased to work closely with Samsung's innovative product teams to bring this rich capability to their first wearable device. The private, non-visual nature of tactile feedback creates a more natural user interface for wearable devices and we are excited by the new opportunities for Immersion in this innovative new market."

Germans Have Second Thoughts About Berlin as Capital
ASK Germans - East or West - where the capital of a united Germany should be and a majority of them would answer ``Berlin.'' But some West Germans and politicians warn that before the government pulls up stakes and moves from the 40-year-old provisional capital of Bonn to the former Prussian capital of Berlin, it should consider the downsides of such a move.
Two of these are the expense of moving the government and the negative symbolism associated with the former Prussian and Nazi capital.
The move would be a logistical nightmare. An estimated 30,000 government workers live in Bonn. Add foreign diplomats, journalists, lobbyists, political party headquarters personnel, and all their families, and the total grows to more than 100,000. Many of the moving costs would either be paid outright by the government or subsidized in some way.
Furthermore, there's the problem of where to put them in Berlin.
``Berlin has problems of its own right now,'' says J"urgen Endemann, Bonn's deputy mayor, pointing out that West Berlin has an extreme housing shortage.
Office space for the newly moved bureaucrats would also be hard to find. Some of the former East German government's buildings could be used by a new united German government, but still more would have to be constructed.
Moving the capital from Bonn to Berlin also involves symbolic costs. Some politicians worry that making Berlin the capital may raise fears among European neighbors about Germany becoming too big, too powerful.
``Berlin is the wrong signal,'' says a West German government official who specializes in German-German affairs. ``It is closer to the border with Poland than it is to the rest of Germany.''

12-Pk. of 100 Grain Blur Broadheads is rated out of 5 by 66.Rated 5 out of 5 by slick from worth the investment used these last year on the hunt, worked well, can,t see paying a lot more money for the same type product. and if you lose one your not out a whole lot of money, will continue to use this brand.Date published: 2015-01-30Rated 4 out of 5 by MU4EVER from Awesome deal Good broad heads for the money. They were as shown.Date published: 2015-01-06Rated 4 out of 5 by RRRR from Good for the price Bought a 6 pack of these, and then ended up buying another dozen. Here's what I'll say: They're alright. Not great, but alright.The first batch were a little tight, and I couldn't get the retaining ring to tighten down all the way, but it locked the blades in tight. The second batch, all of them tightened all the way down, and out of 12 heads, I had 3 blades that had a little play in them (all different heads). I switched blades around between heads until I only had 1 blade that wouldn't tighten down in anything. Consistent they are not. Cheap they are.They also seem to fly just like any other similarly shaped broadhead. For the price, they're great. I can't complain.I haven't used them for hunting yet, and I have nicer broadheads I think I'll use this year. However, if these were all I had, I feel confident they'd get the job done, and done on the cheap.Date published: 2014-10-22Rated 4 out of 5 by LAWRENCE R from Great price and they seem to go together very well. Same weight as my field tips.Date published: 2014-03-05Rated 5 out of 5 by FRANK from SAVED & SAVED & SAVED for next year, kinda lost it last year and did not hunt due to huntings items sold out & was unavailable, but I'm ready next year for that 12 POINT monster.....Date published: 2014-02-23Rated 5 out of 5 by ROY from ExcellentDate published: 2014-01-22Rated 5 out of 5 by JOHN from Look very good but will not get to hunt with them for awhile. The look very good and very good price. These come dis assembled in a plastic bottle.Date published: 2014-01-20Rated 5 out of 5 by SAAD from This is the second time I order these broadheads. I had half a dozen before and I killed three deer, all pass-through shots from about 20 yards. I wish replacement blades were avialable but the price of the broadheads is cheaper than that of the replacement blades for other brands. Good product for the money.Date published: 2014-01-17

Terry Moore does SiP, Slave Leia-style!
One of the things I love most about conventions is the artists who visit and show off their sketchbooks and draw sketches for people. Even if you don't attend the convention, you can follow artists' blogs and see work they did during the con begin to trickle in. With last week's Baltimore Comic-Con in the rear-view, that's beginning to happen. Take, for example, Terry Moore, who did a phenomenal drawing of the girls from his Strangers in Paradise series dressed up as Slave Leia from Return of the Jedi.
You can view several additional pieces on his blog, including a Red Sonja and a piece he did for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund!

Waco siege 20 years on: the survivor's tale
tags: Telegraph (UK), ATF, Waco, Branch Davidians, David KoreshLivingstone Fagan is waiting for the end of the world as we know it, which he believes is coming soon.
"The tables will turn," he says, pacing his bare council flat in a tower block in Nottingham. "We endure what is thrown at us, no matter how extreme, because the day will come, as David says."
This trim 53-year-old with ashen dreadlocks is talking about David Koresh, the self-declared messiah who was holed up in a compound in Waco, Texas, with an armed group of followers, 20 years ago today.
Fagan was there, willing to fight in defence of his family and the man he believed was a second Christ. He had done so in the gunfight at the beginning of the siege in late February 1993, when federal agents attempt to storm the compound and were repelled. And when it all finished with another attack, 51 days later, Fagan lost his wife, his mother, and many of his friend....

The "Total Consideration" for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase pursuant to the tender offer will be determined by reference to the fixed spread (the "Fixed Spread") specified in the table above for the Notes over the yield (the "Reference Yield") based on the bid-side price of the U.S. Treasury Security specified in the table above (the "Reference Treasury Security"), as calculated by Barclays Capital Inc. and BofA Merrill Lynch at 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 18, 2013. The Total Consideration also includes the Early Tender Premium.
The tender offer is conditioned upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the company's receipt of funds sufficient to pay the Total Consideration (and the Tender Offer Consideration as applicable) with respect to the Notes. Subject to applicable law, Staples may also terminate the tender offer at any time before the Expiration Date in its sole discretion.

No One Has Seen A Jellyfish Sting Like This Before
By Kyle Hill on August 18, 2014
You'd think that spring-loaded hypodermic needles filled with venom would be something only found in one of the SAW films, but the stinging tentacles of jellyfish have had that gruesome contraption for millions of years.
A jelly's stinging cells — called nematocytes — work on a hair trigger. When something bumps up against these specialized cells, that trigger is tripped, and the machinery inside launches out in milliseconds. It's like a supersonic harpoon attached to a hose filled with venom. You can find videos of nemtocytes firing, and they are incredible to watch, but they don't really have the resolution to illuminate what is going on. What you need is some patience and some really good video equipment.
YouTube science show Smarter Every Day has done just that. Using a high-end Phantom camera and a microscope, host Destin and toxinologist Dr. Jamie Seymour have captured an unprecedented view of these stinging cells firing. It's fascinating and oddly beautiful, but it's not just for show. Take a look:
Without being able to slow everything down, you can still figure out the machinery involved in a jellyfish sting. What the Phantom camera allowed Destin and Dr. Seymour to do, however, is to see the actual timeline of envenomation. A single nematocyst could fire 20 times before you could blink an eye, but the venom itself discharges much later (at least on this timescale). That's a result which would have remained invisible without a high-speed camera, and proves that even slo-mo videos can be science.
To my knowledge, no one has ever recorded a firing nematocyst like this. It makes Dr. Seymour visibly giddy to see it, and it's wonderful to hear him say that this kind of learning is what gets him up in the morning. I'd jump out of bed too if I knew I'd get to strap a Phantom camera to an electrified sea anemone tentacle.
as cool as this is, the australian dude made this so much better
[…] An unprecedented look at the venom harpoon tubes that are a jellyfish's […]
[…] As anyone who has ever been stung by a jellyfish can attest, these animals have some of the most painful and deadly stings known to man. The stings aren't just potentially lethal, they're also lightning fast. They're so fast, in fact, that scientists have only just begun to achieve the capability of viewing jellyfish deploy their stingers in high definition, reports Nerdist. […]

A.M. Best Upgrades Ratings Of First American Property & Casualty Insurance Company And First American Specialty Insurance Company
A.M. Best Co. has upgraded the financial strength rating (FSR) to A (Excellent) from A- (Excellent) and issuer credit ratings (ICR) to "a" from "a-" of First American Property & Casualty Insurance Company and First American Specialty Insurance Company, collectively referred to as First American P&C Group. The outlook for all ratings has been revised to stable from positive. Both companies are domiciled in Santa Ana, CA.
The rating actions reflect First American P&C Group's continued favorable trend of operating performance, solid risk-adjusted capitalization and reduced underwriting leverage in recent years. The group's positive results are derived from its strict underwriting discipline and loss control guidelines, which have resulted in consistent underwriting profitability and favorable operating results over the years, despite wildfire and severe weather-related activity. The ratings also recognize First American P&C Group's use of multiple distribution channels to market its products. Besides brokers and independent agents, First American P&C Group is able to leverage its parent, First American Financial Corporation's [NYSE: FAF], advanced computer systems and title distribution networks to facilitate direct escrow sales of homeowners' insurance.
These positive rating factors are somewhat offset by First American P&C Group's concentration of business in California, which exposes its earnings and surplus to volatility from changes in that state's regulatory and judicial climate, as well as catastrophe risks. In an effort to reduce this concentration, the group is currently geographically expanding its product offerings into other non-catastrophe correlated areas of the country, including certain parts of the Northeast.
While A.M. Best believes First American P&C Group is well positioned at its current rating level, factors that may lead to positive rating actions include a continued favorable underwriting and operating performance while enhancing its risk-adjusted capitalization. However, factors that may lead to negative rating actions include a trend of deteriorating underwriting and operating profitability or the erosion of surplus to an extent that causes a significant decline in the group's risk-adjusted capitalization.

Here in the US, we mainly mark April 15th as the dreaded Tax Day — but a brighter way to remember this auspicious day is as the birthday of the lauded Renaissance master painter, Leonardo da Vinci!
Born on April 15th, 1452, Leonardo is perhaps the most recognized artist in the world. Not only was he a staggeringly talented painter, he was also a skilled scientist and genius inventor, greatly increasing the knowledge of the time on subjects such as anatomy, weaponry, geology, mathematics, and so much more. In a very real way, Leonardo da Vinci was the original Renaissance Man!
Leonardo has been an inspiration to millions over the centuries — not only in artistic and scientific ideas, but as an icon of all that we feel a genius artist should stand for: invention, innovation, and a dedication to beauty. (Not to mention inspiring countless copies like this one of the Mona Lisa). But his household name is also used to imply these qualities in products — and here we've picked out a few of our favorites!
Some of our very favorite art supplies are named after our favorite Renaissance man; from oil paints and watercolors to kids' art supplies and studio easels, the name "da Vinci" marks them all!
So on this fresh spring day, think not of taxes and W-2's — think of everyone's favorite master painter, and the art, ideas, and materials he's inspired throughout the years. Then join us in wishing him a very Happy Birthday, Leonardo da Vinci!
Brazilian watercolorist Marcelo Daldoce is known for his skilled, luminous watercolor paintings, ranging from loose studies and sketches to meticulously detailed and even sculpted works. Needless to say, the 'success' of his paintings often hinges on the quality of the supplies used, be they paints, papers, brushes and more — as it does for any artist. Recently, Marcelo sat down to sketch with some Turner Concentrated Artists' Watercolors and GarzaPapel Handmade Watercolor paper — both of which are Jerry's exclusive items — and was kind enough to share his experiences with us!
Turner Artists' Watercolors reach a good combination of pigments and gum arabic. There is a good consistency that makes it vibrant and lightfast with a nice paint flow.
Like other brands, some colors are better than others. I favored the Cadmium and Burnt colors. The oxides and manganese violet had a gummy texture; which is normal in other brands. The highlight is the cost. For a 15ml tube you get good quality for a good price.
GarzaPapel Handmade Watercolor Paper absorbs the paint nicely. The cold press took a good time to dry; thus, making it easy to connect colors. I used the 280 lb. so, expectedly, there were no wrinkles while wet. The texture it leaves is a nice grain texture (perfect for loose watercolor paint). It has all the qualities good paper should have: acid free, handmade, 100% cotton. In addition, the cotton is 50% recycled, making it eco-friendly.
Both Turner and GarzaPapel are at the professional range and can compete with other established watercolor brands.
They are definitely worth a try!
Check out the video below to watch Marcelo sketch a figure from life using Turner Watercolors on GarzaPapel paper!

What about you? Have you used any of these products? What did you like about them? Let us know in the comments below!
Native to São Paulo, Brazil, Marcelo Daldoce moved to Miami in 2010 to pursue life as a full-time artist. While currently working out of his personal studio, the former Bakehouse Art Complex resident has focused his works with watercolor in wholly unique ways. Daldoce infuses the medium with contemporary vitality through his style and subjects. Largely self-taught, he began painting at the age of 16. Four years later, he resided at Núcleo de Arte, an art school in Brazil. Prior to focusing solely on his painting, Daldoce worked at design studios and ad agencies in Brazil for several years, including an illustration studio, MACACOLÂNDIA, that he founded with three partners.
"When painting with watercolor, I control very little of the process... I have learned that in order to express myself, I must allow the water to do the same."
As Daldoce is a primarily self-taught painter, his unique style is not hampered by traditional conventions regarding the often-pigeonholed medium of watercolors. His works run the gamut from figure studies and landscapes to amazingly imaginative, complex designs that welcome the viewer into Daldoce's own unique vision of the world.
Recently, Daldoce has been breaking down the boundaries between the dimensions: transforming two dimensional paintings on paper into faceted gems that are meticulously sculpted to treat the eye from every possible angle.
"Bringing to life a flat surface, I strive to create a puzzle of what's painted and what's folded, what's real and what's illusion. Born naked of conceptions, day by day, year by year, we form intricate geometric masks that hide our true self, that conceal our complete being."

The reason is simply that not every project is using the same set or subset of GNU configuration scripts. Some projects, like XFree86, have something entirely made up from whole cloth that only looks like normal build scripts on the _surface_. When you're looking at these things, keep in mind that the projects were each started at vastly different points in time, and as you deal with newer projects, they tend to have more elegantly constructed build scripts (which will look more alike). It also helps if a package is rigorously maintained, because some projects might be really old, but the package maintainers might be regularly upgrading the build scripts as well as the code. (Most don't bother with build script changes until the tools they're dependent upon are declared obsolete and/or cancer-causing agents in laboratory rats who program in Fortran-77.) -- Unsubscribe: send email to listar at linuxfromscratch.org and put 'unsubscribe lfs-support' in the subject header of the message
