Analysis of near full-length genomic sequences of drug-resistant HIV-1 spreading among therapy-naïve individuals in Nagoya, Japan: amino acid mutations associated with viral replication activity.
ABSTRACT We analyzed a total of 12 near full-length genomes of drug-resistant HIV-1 spreading among therapy-naïve individuals in Nagoya, Japan. Genomes comprised seven protease inhibitor (PI)-resistant viruses possessing an M46I (n = 6) or L90M mutation (n = 1) and five non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor-resistant viruses possessing a K103N mutation. All 12 viruses conserved both an H87Q mutation in the cyclophilin A-binding site of Gag p24 (capsid) and a T23N mutation in the cysteine-rich domain of Tat protein. PI-resistant viruses commonly possessed two cleavage site mutations in the p6(Pol)/protease of Pol polyprotein (F48L in p6(Pol)) and the anchor/core domains of Nef protein (L57V). These amino acid mutations represent candidates for enhancing replication activity of drug-resistant viruses and supporting expansion of such viruses in therapy-naïve individuals.

Article: Molecular Epidemiology of HIV Type 1 Infection in Iran: Genomic Evidence of CRF35_AD Predominance and CRF01_AE Infection Among Individuals Associated with Injection Drug Use.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Abstract To understand the molecular epidemiology of HIV-1 infection in Iran, we conducted the first study to analyze the genome sequence of Iranian HIV-1 isolates. For this cross-sectional study, we enrolled 10 HIV-1-infected individuals associated with injection drug use from Tehran, Shiraz, and Kermanshah. Near full-length genome sequences obtained from their plasma samples were used for phylogenetic tree and similarity plotting analyses. Among 10 isolates, nine were clearly identified as CRF35_AD and the remaining one as CRF01_AE. Interestingly, five of our Iranian CRF35_AD isolates made two clusters with 10 Afghan CRF35_AD isolates in a phylogenetic tree, indicating epidemiological connections among injection drug users in Iran and Afghanistan. In contrast, our CRF01_AE isolate had no genetic relationship with any other CRF01_AE isolates worldwide, even from Afghanistan. This study provides the first genomic evidence of HIV-1 CRF35_AD predominance and CRF01_AE infection among individuals associated with injection drug use in Iran.AIDS research and human retroviruses 08/2012; DOI:10.1089/AID.2012.0186 · 2.18 Impact Factor
Article: Mutations in the nef and vif genes associated with progression to AIDS in elite controller and slow-progressor Patients.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Progression towards AIDS can vary from 5 to 10 years from the establishment of the primary infection by HIV-1 to more than 10 years in the complete absence of antiretroviral therapy. Several factors can contribute to the outcome of HIV infection, including host genetic and viral replicating characteristics. Historically, nef-deleted viral genomes have been associated with disease progression. Therefore, the lentiviral Nef protein is regarded as a progression factor. The objective of this work was to characterize the nef gene from a group of treatment naive patients infected with HIV-1 for more than 10 years. These patients were classified as long-term non-progressors, elite controller, and slow-progressors according to clinical and laboratorial data. A premature stop codon within the nef gene leading to the expression of a truncated peptide was observed on samples from the elite controller patient. For the slow-progressor patients, several degrees of deletions at the C-terminal of Nef were observed predicting a loss of function of this protein. The vif gene was characterized for these patients and a rare mutation that predicts a miss localization of the Vif protein to the nucleus of infected cells that could prevent its function as an APOBEC neutralization factor was also observed. These data indicate the importance of the HIV accessory proteins as factors that contribute to the outcome of AIDS. J. Med. Virol. 85:563-574, 2013. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Journal of Medical Virology 04/2013; 85(4):563-74. DOI:10.1002/jmv.23512 · 2.22 Impact Factor
Article: Impact of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type-1 Sequence Diversity on Antiretroviral Therapy Outcomes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Worldwide circulating HIV-1 genomes show extensive variation represented by different subtypes, polymorphisms and drug-resistant strains. Reports on the impact of sequence variation on antiretroviral therapy (ART) outcomes are mixed. In this review, we summarize relevant published data from both resource-rich and resource-limited countries in the last 10 years on the impact of HIV-1 sequence diversity on treatment outcomes. The prevalence of transmission of drug resistant mutations (DRMs) varies considerably, ranging from 0% to 27% worldwide. Factors such as geographic location, access and availability to ART, duration since inception of treatment programs, quality of care, risk-taking behaviors, mode of transmission, and viral subtype all dictate the prevalence in a particular geographical region. Although HIV-1 subtype may not be a good predictor of treatment outcome, review of emerging evidence supports the fact that HIV-1 genome sequence-resulting from natural polymorphisms or drug-associated mutations-matters when it comes to treatment outcomes. Therefore, continued surveillance of drug resistant variants in both treatment-naïve and treatment-experienced populations is needed to reduce the transmission of DRMs and to optimize the efficacy of the current ART armamentarium.Viruses 10/2014; 6(10):3855-3872.

Thanks for noticing, djst.

{ fyi: acronym SNAFU = Situation Normal, All Fouled Up

 well, I think we would normally say "fouled" up. An expression of dissatisfaction and of universal realities.}

{ and fyi = for your information, so it is ;-}

Yes, I was referring to a non-functional, stuck, standard AMO UI, in a particular circumstance.

I don't have many good words for it, the new AMO. I have several bad words I shouldn't use here, though.

Duly filed as bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84558 qv

 ⦃ qv = Latin quod vide, "see that" ;-⦄

As yet, hardly a stir of interest, but the bug is more fully described there. To be fair, although I've hit it before, I reckon it must be rare, though something could be improved about the way over-capacity is handled. And I thought I'd reported it before, but a search doesn't turn up a result.

The "new" AMO is something of a bee in the bonnet for me, a regular irritation.

As for there not being a relevant bugzilla keyword, that's me being fallible again, not understanding properly. Apparently I should have looked for Product=toolkit, component=Add-ons manager, rather than for keyword which is more specific to the progress of any potential fix. Learning curve.
Hi there, Not sure what SNAFU means and too lazy to look it up. ;) Sorry to hear about the problems 2013-03-01T07:12:26-08:00djsthttps://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/951702#answer-412990
Hi there,

Not sure what SNAFU means and too lazy to look it up. ;) Sorry to hear about the problems you're experiencing with AMO -- I'm assuming you mean the in-product UI of AMO? It seems you're familiar with about:support and safe mode, which is great. Have you tried to reproduce this with a new profile? If you can still reproduce it there (i.e. not just with a fresh install of Firefox), then I would encourage you to file a bug about this.

You mentioned something about not having a keyword in bugzilla -- not sure what you mean with that? Do you mean you couldn't find a bug for this problem you're experiencing? Either way, it would be great if you could file one if you can reproduce this in a clean profile.

Thanks!

The Neighborhood
Christianshavn is a vibrant and very popular place in copenhagen where you can discover the old copenhagen with our traditional houses but also see the more modern living style (for example the many different houseboats)
Here is a little list of the main attractions on Christianshavn:
1. The Freetown Christiania (Fristaden Christiania). Freetown Christiania is a world famous 'Free Town' right in the heart of Copenhagen. Originally there were military barracks on the site of the town, but the barracks were left empty in 1971. The barracks were soon occupied by swarms of young people who wanted autonomy from the Danish Government. The Danish Government made the decision to allow these young people to continue living there and they legalized the Free Town. Christiania is the second most visited attraction in Copenhagen behind Tivoli Gardens, and visitors to Copenhagen should find time to see this very unique social experiment in action. Christiania contains houses, workshops, good restaurants, pubs and several concert venues. There are only approximately one thousand people who actually live in Christiania. Every weekend there are guided tours. The tours start by the Gallopperiet by the main entrance on the street 'Prinsessegade'.
2. Wilders Square (Wilders Plads). Wilders Square was originally a busy town square where plenty of trade would take place. The square has a pleasant atmosphere, and it is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the ample people traffic. In Wilders Square there is a beautiful two story timber framed house. The house was built in 1736, and it was originally a sail maker's workshop.
3. Vor Frelsers Church (Vor Frelsers Kirke). Vor Frelsers Church was built in the year 1682. The Church was built in the Dutch baroque style and it was designed by the Dutch architect Lambert Van Haven. In 1752 the very unique spire you see today was added to the structure. The spire was designed by the architect Laurids de Thurah. The spire is 86.6 meters tall, and it is one of the highest in Copenhagen. There is free entrance into the church, but there is a small cost to go up the tower. The tower is has a great view of the Copenhagen skyline.
4. Knippel Bridge (Knippelsbro). Knippel Bridge is an impressive bascule bridge with tall copper coated bridge towers. There have been many bridges on the site. The present bridge was built in 1937 and it was named 'Knippelsbro' after one of the original operators of the first bridge. The first bridge was built by King Christian IV in 1618 and the name of one of the first bridge keepers was Hans Knip, so the town's people called the bridge 'Knippelbro' (Knippel's Bridge).
5. Christians Church (Christians Kirken) The Christians Church is an attractive rococo styled building which was built in 1759. The Church was designed by the famous Danish architect Nicolai Eigtved. The church was originally built for the many Germans who were living in the area at the time. The church was used exclusively by the German community until 1886. Today the church continues to conduct normal church services, as well as for many concerts and lectures.
Getting around
By metro, bus, water bus and bicycles.
Other Things to Note
We have a little dog.
No parties, no noise after 11 p.m. No smooking in the apartment, but outside is okay (the apartment is on the ground floor) :)
Lovely place. Spacious room and easy access to city by 9A. Lots of eating places and walking to do around
Nelly and her family were really nice and welcoming. My friend and I spent great days in Copenhagen. The position of this apartment is really good, close to city center. There are metro station, supermarket, great restaurant and almost everything we wanted nearby. The apartment is very clean and well-equipped, we also used the kitchen several times. Would definitely recommend. Here is the best choice!!!
Bon accueil,nous étions attendues,plein de brochures sur la ville à disposition,cakes ,The ,café,utilisation de la cuisine,robes de chambre et chaussons à disposition.excellente literie,hôte discrète et présente,bons échanges. Quartier tranquille. Nous y retournerons volontiers,à recommander.
Nelly was a great host and the apartment was just as pictured. We were given our own key and able to come and go as we pleased. The beds and accommodation were extremely comfortable — most days we opted to sleep in late rather than get up early to sight see! The apartment was walking distance from most sites and was a short walk from a metro stop. Nelly was very kind and helpful; would definitely recommend for a stay in Copenhagen!
Everything was very comfortable there! Nelly was so kind that she show us rooms, neighbors, and recommend places regardless our midnight arrival. The location was quite close to all destinations we wanted to go, and of course to the airport. I highly recommend other to stay Nelly's.
le quartier est en plein boom, et on construit de toute part, un nouveau pont est actuellement en construction et permettra de relier plus rapidement le logement au centre ville historique.
My friend and I had a great time at Nelly's! The location was perfect, a nice walk to the city center, in a great neighborhood itself. Nelly provides us with all we needed and more: slippers, tea, and cookies to name a few! We would stay again!

- Block all calls
- Block no calls
You can filter unwanted calls to block calls using any of the 5 blocking modes as follows.
1. Blacklist mode – blocks all numbers in you blacklist. Numbers can be added to the blacklist from contacts, call history, or manually entered.
2. Whitelist mode – blocks all numbers not in your white list. Numbers can be added to the whitelist from contacts, call history, or manually entered.
3. Contacts Only mode – blocks all calls from numbers that are not in your contacts.
4. Block All – Blocks all calls.
5. Accept All – Accept all calls.
Also blocks incoming text messages using the same rules as incoming calls.
Support wildcard matching using the # character. Example: Block all calls from area code 713, add 713-###-#### to your black list and all calls and text messages from area code 713 will be blocked.
You can quickly add a range of phone numbers to the blacklist or whitelist by using wildcard characters. For example, if you want to block all the 800 numbers, you can add 800-###-#### to the blacklist.
The # character is the wildcard, and is treated by Call Blocker as all digits between 0-9. All other non-numeric characters have no effect, so using white spaces or dash signs is allowed but will not impact the matching process.
The following three formats are regarded identical:
1) 800820####
2) 800 820 ####
3) 800-820-####
Country codes should not be used with wildcard match patterns. for example, if you want to block all numbers from area code 213 in the United States, use 213-###-#### and do not use 001-213-###-#### or +1-213-###-#### .
Gizmoquip Call blocker is fully compatible with other Gizmoquip apps including SMS Scheduler, SMS Tracker and SMS Backup.

Call Block - number blacklist
- blocking all numbers
- blocking numbers that are hidden / private
- blocking all unknown numbers - effectively allow only numbers that are in the contact list
- blocking any number you want by specifying it directly
- blocking range of numbers matching given prefix or suffix, for example:
0123* will block all the numbers that start with 0123
*789 will block all the numbers that end with 789
- viewing logs of blocked calls
Now in the latest version you can also specify number list which will be allowed regardless the other blocking settings. This is useful if for example you want to block all unknown numbers but allow specific numbers (eg. emergency numbers or the ones starting with the given prefix)

The double-degenerate, super-Chandrasekhar nucleus of the planetary nebula Henize 2-428
Nature 519, 7541 (2015). doi:10.1038/nature14124
Authors: M. Santander-García, P. Rodríguez-Gil, R. L. M. Corradi, D. Jones, B. Miszalski, H. M. J. Boffin, M. M. Rubio-Díez & M. M. Kotze
The planetary nebula stage is the ultimate fate of stars with masses one to eight times that of the Sun (). The origin of their complex morphologies is poorly understood, although several mechanisms involving binary interaction have been proposed. In close binary systems, the orbital separation is short enough for the primary star to overfill its Roche lobe as the star expands during the asymptotic giant branch phase. The excess gas eventually forms a common envelope surrounding both stars. Drag forces then result in the envelope being ejected into a bipolar planetary nebula whose equator is coincident with the orbital plane of the system. Systems in which both stars have ejected their envelopes and are evolving towards the white dwarf stage are said to be double degenerate. Here we report that Henize 2-428 has a double-degenerate core with a combined mass of ∼1.76, which is above the Chandrasekhar limit (the maximum mass of a stable white dwarf) of 1.4. This, together with its short orbital period (4.2 hours), suggests that the system should merge in 700 million years, triggering a type Ia supernova event. This supports the hypothesis of the double-degenerate, super-Chandrasekhar evolutionary pathway for the formation of type Ia supernovae.

Cosmology: A giant in the young Universe
Nature 518, 7540 (2015). doi:10.1038/518490b
Authors: Bram Venemans
Astronomers have discovered an extremely massive black hole from a time when the Universe was less than 900 million years old. The result provides insight into the growth of black holes and galaxies in the young Universe. See Letter p.512
An ultraluminous quasar with a twelve-billion-solar-mass black hole at redshift 6.30
Nature 518, 7540 (2015). doi:10.1038/nature14241
Authors: Xue-Bing Wu, Feige Wang, Xiaohui Fan, Weimin Yi, Wenwen Zuo, Fuyan Bian, Linhua Jiang, Ian D. McGreer, Ran Wang, Jinyi Yang, Qian Yang, David Thompson & Yuri Beletsky
So far, roughly 40 quasars with redshifts greater than z = 6 have been discovered. Each quasar contains a black hole with a mass of about one billion solar masses (109). The existence of such black holes when the Universe was less than one billion years old presents substantial challenges to theories of the formation and growth of black holes and the coevolution of black holes and galaxies. Here we report the discovery of an ultraluminous quasar, SDSS J010013.02+280225.8, at redshift z = 6.30. It has an optical and near-infrared luminosity a few times greater than those of previously known z > 6 quasars. On the basis of the deep absorption trough on the blue side of the Lyman-α emission line in the spectrum, we estimate the proper size of the ionized proximity zone associated with the quasar to be about 26 million light years, larger than found with other z > 6.1 quasars with lower luminosities. We estimate (on the basis of a near-infrared spectrum) that the black hole has a mass of ∼1.2 × 1010, which is consistent with the 1.3 × 1010 derived by assuming an Eddington-limited accretion rate.
An extremely high-altitude plume seen at Mars' morning terminator
Nature 518, 7540 (2015). doi:10.1038/nature14162
Authors: A. Sánchez-Lavega, A. García Muñoz, E. García-Melendo, S. Pérez-Hoyos, J. M. Gómez-Forrellad, C. Pellier, M. Delcroix, M. A. López-Valverde, F. González-Galindo, W. Jaeschke, D. Parker, J. Phillips & D. Peach
The Martian limb (that is, the observed 'edge' of the planet) represents a unique window into the complex atmospheric phenomena occurring there. Clouds of ice crystals (CO2 ice or H2O ice) have been observed numerous times by spacecraft and ground-based telescopes, showing that clouds are typically layered and always confined below an altitude of 100 kilometres; suspended dust has also been detected at altitudes up to 60 kilometres during major dust storms. Highly concentrated and localized patches of auroral emission controlled by magnetic field anomalies in the crust have been observed at an altitude of 130 kilometres. Here we report the occurrence in March and April 2012 of two bright, extremely high-altitude plumes at the Martian terminator (the day–night boundary) at 200 to 250 kilometres or more above the surface, and thus well into the ionosphere and the exosphere. They were spotted at a longitude of about 195° west, a latitude of about −45° (at Terra Cimmeria), extended about 500 to 1,000 kilometres in both the north–south and east–west directions, and lasted for about 10 days. The features exhibited day-to-day variability, and were seen at the morning terminator but not at the evening limb, which indicates rapid evolution in less than 10 hours and a cyclic behaviour. We used photometric measurements to explore two possible scenarios and investigate their nature. For particles reflecting solar radiation, clouds of CO2-ice or H2O-ice particles with an effective radius of 0.1 micrometres are favoured over dust. Alternatively, the plume could arise from auroral emission, of a brightness more than 1,000 times that of the Earth's aurora, over a region with a strong magnetic anomaly where aurorae have previously been detected. Importantly, both explanations defy our current understanding of Mars' upper atmosphere.

Nicer than the picture!
I was thrilled to have received this within around 10 days of ordering. Just lucky I guess. I was very nervous about this piece. I'm an interior designer and like everything "perfect", how can I take a chance with such a tiny picture? I took the plunge and I am THRILLED with this buffet. The size is perfect for my NYC apartment and I get storage too! It is more subdued in the turquoise and blue than in the photo. Fits in perfectly with my monochromatic living room. LOVE IT!!!!Read More

Gorgeous - looks exactly like the image
Aside from some odd shipping issues which did make this take longer getting to me and made the process a little stressful, the wait was worth it. This is a gorgeous piece of furniture. Very happy. Overstock customer service was terrific in handling the shipping issues.Read More
Fabulous piece
Love this furniture - fits perfectly with my country rustic eclectic decor.Read More
I love this piece! It's gorgeous. I'm using it as an entertainment center rather than buffet. It's the perfect size, shape and color for my room. It's extremely well made and I'm very happy to have found it. Glad I didn't settle for some knock down piece from Ikea or HomeStore.Read More
Beautiful piece of furniture, and so well made!!
This is a stunningly beautiful piece of furniture. It's one piece from the collection that I bought for my daughter's room. She is 20 years old and says she LOVES it and will keep it for a lifetime! (If she can wrangle it from my fingers and out of my house some day when she's through with college). I love it so much and she does too. It's heavy solid wood, beautifully done with meticulous detail, and is in every way a perfect piece of furniture. When you open the two side doors, there is shelving that is perfect for books! JUST LOVE IT!Read More

Rolex FAQ
FAQs about Pre-Owned Rolex Watches | Overstock.comFAQs about Pre-Owned Rolex Watchesby Shawna Edwards I've never made a large purchase online. Why pick Overstock.com?Overstock.com is one of the largest retailers of high-end jewelry and watches. We have taken the time to create a Web environment that caters to our customers by allowing them to comfortably shop for wristwatches from the privacy of their homes. We offer our customers a wide variety of timepieces at the most competitive prices available. In addition to this, we want them to feel secure purchasing from us. Overstock.com is one of a handful of online high-end watch merchants that are capable of processing your credit card for your entire purchase. This allows "first-time buyers" to feel more secure in making a large purchase because they have an added layer of security via their credit card company. Do all your Rolex watches come with their serial numbers?Every Rolex watch sold by Overstock.com will have its unique Rolex serial and reference numbers in place and viewable by removing the watch band from the six o'clock and twelve o'clock ends. What is meant by "Perfect Like New Condition?""Perfect like new (day one) condition" watches are pre-owned Rolex timepieces that are purchased by Overstock.com in pristine, mint and immaculate condition. This obviously is the case cosmetically and mechanically. Every timepiece is thoroughly inspected to ensure that they are authentic and meet our quality standards. These luxury watches are so pristine that, in most cases, they are indistinguishable from new watches. Our men's watches and women's watches may have miniscule markings, and the watch bracelets will have miniscule amounts of stretch. Will my watch come with documentation?Every watch will come with detailed documentation stating a full watch description, serial number and model number. Being that the manufacturer's warranty has expired, you will receive a limited one-year warranty from our vendor. Will my watch be covered by a warranty, and what about post warranty service?Being that the manufacturer's warranties on these timepieces have expired, our vendor issues a one-year limited warranty on every watch. The warranty work is done by expert watchmakers who use only original manufacturers' parts and have decades of experience working with Rolex watches. After the one-year limited warranty has expired, you may continue to request service through our vendor who will service the watch when needed at industry cost prices. How can I be sure that the watch will fit my wrist?All our watches will fit up to a 6-and-a-half-inch wrist for a woman and for a man will fit up to a 7-and-a-half-inch wrist (extra links are available for additional charges). Rolex watches can be easily resized to fit any wrist by your local jeweler. How do I measure for my wrist size?You can get an approximate measurement of your wrist by using a soft measuring tape or measuring the inside of your best fitting watch. If you don't have a soft measuring tape, you can wrap a ribbon or a piece of string around your wrist at the wrist bone, mark the spot where it meets, and measure it against a ruler to determine your approximate wrist size. To get the best fit, measure fairly snug at the wrist bone. This is approximate sizing not a 100 percent guarantee of prefect sizing.If the watch is a gift and you do not know the recipient's wrist size, you can use the following as a guide (as with all products, the standard sizes depend on the manufacturer):Men's Standard Bracelet SizesInside, including watch face while bracelet is closedAdult Small5-1/2" to 6-1/2"Adult Average6-1/2" to 7-1/2"Adult Large7-1/2" to 8-1/2"Adult X-Large8-1/2" to 9-1/2" Women's Standard Bracelet SizesInside, including watch face while bracelet is closedAdult Small4-1/2" to 5-1/2"Adult Average5-1/2" to 6-1/2"Adult Large6-1/2" to 7-1/2"Adult X-Large7-1/2" to 8-1/2" Will the watch be fully water-resistant? And can I go swimming or shower with my watch?Every Rolex watch is fully tested for water resistance; the total depth rating is listed with every model. Drawing on years of experience, it is our recommendation that, though Rolex watches are water resistant, because of the fine nature of the timepiece, we discourage our customers from making a practice of taking them in the shower or pool. If for some reason the stem, which is the round mechanism found on the side of the case, which is unscrewed to set the time, is not completely screwed down, water could leak into the movement and damage the watch. (Please refer to your warranty card regarding water damage.) The chances are incredibly slim that this will happen, but nonetheless it is our recommendation that our customers refrain from taking their Rolex watches into the water to avoid any unnecessary problems. How does Overstock.com offer such great prices when my local jeweler has a similar piece for considerably more?Overstock.com has built the best connections in the business, affording us the ability to buy from dealers at the highest level of the industry. Through these connections we can buy in the largest quantities while getting the best pricing. Being that we are not an authorized dealer of Rolex or affiliated with Rolex, USA we are able to offer our customers rock bottom pricing without being subject to any manufacturer's price controls or policies. Do I need to be present to sign for the package?For your safety, you will need to sign for the package that contains your watch. If you are not present when it arrives, the package will not be left at your door. A door tag will be left to inform you when the courier will come to redeliver your package. Alternatively, you can call the courier to arrange a better delivery time or pick-up (with photo identification) at the local hub. What is the benefit of buying a pre-owned Rolex over a new one?Unlike new Rolex watches, pre-owned Rolex watches do not depreciate in value immediately after purchase. Therefore, buying a new Rolex watch is like buying a brand new car: The moment you drive it off the lot it has lost 20 to 30 percent of its value. With buying a pre-owned watch, you have effectively cut out any value depreciation and retail markup. Rolex watches hold their value over time; in most cases, a pre-owned Rolex can be resold at a price very close to your purchase price.Rolex designs don't change too often; therefore, owning a perfect condition pre-owned timepiece is as good as a new one, with no one knowing that the watch was purchased pre-owned. No one can spot a used Rolex on your wrist. With the proper care and maintenance, a Rolex lasts forever. How do I determine the age of my watch?You are guaranteed to receive a desirable modern watch with a fully automatic self-winding (or quartz movement depending on your purchase), with quickset date feature. Due to the fact that Rolex models are manufactured for a number of years, the year of your watch will be circa 1980s or 1990s. Every Rolex watch sold by Overstock.com will have its unique Rolex serial number, which determines the year of manufacture.

Yauatcha, Soho
Whenever Elldrew are asked for the best dim sum in London we have to recommend the Michelin-starred teahouse Yauatcha, located in the heart of Soho. In it's 10th year, we've been sampling it's delights since opening and we have no plans on going anywhere else soon.
Crocker's Folly Restaurant, London
Empty Chairs at Empty tables: Part 2
The second restaurant that forms part of our 'Empty Chairs at Empty tables' blog is Crocker's Folly, situated in St John's Wood NW8.
NW3 Bar & Kitchen, London
Empty Chairs at Empty tables: Part 1
Alas, not a review of Les Miserables nor the song from the show, instead a review of two recent dining experiences at two rather lovely restaurants, but sadly, both were somewhat deserted hence the title of our latest two-part blog.
Our first review focuses on NW3 Bar & Kitchen.
Sea Containers Restaurant, Mondrian London
The new Mondrian London hotel opened earlier this year to much fanfare and Elldrew were particularly excited to take a peep inside (we knew the building from when it was offices of an old client) so what better excuse than a pre-Christmas dinner in it's main restaurant 'Sea Containers'.
Sea Containers has been aptly named after the building that houses the hotel (Sea Containers House) and is award-winning New York chef and restaurateur Seamus Mullen's first European restaurant. To be honest we had no idea who Seamus Mullen was beyond what we'd read in the papers, but we were nevertheless excited to try his "farm to table" dining concept.
Kabuki Restaurant, Abama Hotel, Tenerife
For our third visit back to this fantastic resort we just had to return to Kabuki – the 1 Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton resort. This visit we dined twice as the food was exquisite and again lived up to it's 'best Japanese restaurant in Europe' status. Mouthwatering, visually spectacular, if you are visiting Tenerife (South) Island then this restaurant has to be on your to-do list.
Spring Restaurant, Whatever the Season
You know when you're watching a talent show on TV and you think the act is terrible yet they get a standing ovation, or the opposite happens, your favourite act is booed and you wonder if you're watching the same programme? At the end of the day everything we experience comes down to personal preference, this also applies to any restaurant we eat in. Of course each of us have expectations or standards when it comes to food quality and service (even more so with that 'discretionary' service charge which has pretty much become a mandatory on the bill), but as novice writers (or dare we say bloggers) we still believe that a review of any restaurant should be written fairly, leaving the reader to make up their own mind.
An article on the recently opened Spring restaurant in London, by Camilla Long for The Sunday Times magazine 'food and drink' section, had so much venom in it (she even went as far to insult the 1547 historic building the restaurant is located in) that we had to wonder how hers and our dining experience could differ so greatly…could she really not have enjoyed Spring that much to give it such a bad critique? Truth be told we only got three quarters of the way through her article as by the end of it she was cleverly trying to fill space with meaningless words and pointless dribble. So, like Ms Long, Elldrew have an opinion and a platform to voice our views and with that in mind we would like to stand up, push back our chairs and give Spring a standing ovation, because we think it deserves it!
The Grafton & Texas Joe's, London NW5
For years Elldrew's 'local' pub in Kentish Town NW5 was less than 100 metres away, but we never dared enter in fear that we might not make it out alive. You see, The Grafton was a run down pub that attracted the wrong crowd, and as far as we knew, it was kept afloat via behind-the-scenes criminal activity (if it wasn't then it sure did a great impression that it did).
A traditional cornerstone pub in an upcoming area of Kentish Town on the borders of eclectic Camden (well Elldrew did live there after all), it was only a matter of time before someone threw some love (and a bucket of paint) at the old girl, taking on board the current gastro pub 'style' and 'etiquette' that we have all become accustomed to, so that The Grafton could re-open and breath new life through her doors.
Quaglino's Restaurant – She's Back and She's Fierce!
It's been a busy eating week for Elldrew; we've lunched at old favourite 'The Wolseley', suppered at Bruno Loubet's 'Grain Store' and last night we had the pleasure of dining at the newly reopened Quaglino's. And despite The Wolseley retaining its crown as Elldrew's favourite dining spot, it's Quaglino's that gets the honour of our attention and review.
Quaglino's has to be one of the grande dames of the London dining scene. Currently celebrating her 85th birthday, she's been "in" and "out" so many times that she's rather like one of Soho's less salubrious residents, and Elldrew remembers Quaglino's well, from her last revival and hey-day in the nineties. Back then she was an airline hangar of a room; the jewel in Conran's fledgling restaurant group. She was white and bright, vast and opulent, and symbolised all the decadence of the early nineties and optimism of the approaching millennium. But she withered and floundered, struggling to attract the crowds in the noughties as the new hip, young and trendy joints around the London restaurant scene emerged – like every elegant lady of a certain age she long ago needed a little bit of, errm, "cosmetic maintenance". Fortunately for Lady Quaglino, D&D Group came to her rescue and treated her to a full workout and makeover, reopening mere weeks ago with a fierce new look and a drinks and food menu to boot!
La Patagonia Argentine Restaurant NW1
We have a dear Argentinian friend who has never dragged us to an Argentine restaurant so, after visiting La Patagonia, we have come to the conclusion that she has wanted to keep this delicious cuisine to herself!
We naturally are huge fans of Argentine Malbec wines, and had heard that the steak is some of the best in the world, so during an Autumn downpour that saw us held-up under the shelter of a local tube station awning till it eased, we made a dash through the doors of La Patagonia and straight away were greeted by the welcoming aromas of the restaurant, and of course the friendly smiles of the staff.

A little garden humor for the cold weather
It's been blustery and snowy for way too long, so I thought this photo perfectly captured the way I feel!
Boy isn't that the truth. Here it's rain and sunlessness. At least if and when the sky does finally clear, we ought to find ourselves well on the way to spring. I sure would love a run of dry weather and blue skies.
Hilarious! The sun hat and sleeveless top are certainly a triumph of wishful thinking over reason. Like jaspermplants, I often get that feeling during the summer (before chickening out and waiting for dusk before venturing outside).
Thanks for the humor, Josh! Portland is a mirror image of northern TX! My sis and I have been exchanging photos. Kim's DFLED 3 which Christopher so carefully packed and sent seems to be coping. The poor little thing is hunkered down in my potted driveway nursery (last photo). I didn't have a chance to prepare any plants for the arctic blast. Fingers crossed! Carol
In a way, I am so glad you posted a picture of your pots! Here I was worrying and fretting over my roses in pots that got a little chilly. It's good to know that with their leaves still on and just a little winter dieback, they'll come through the winter just fine.

What You've Been Waiting For – The Korn & Taylor Swift Mashup! [VIDEO]
You've seen the Slipknot and Justin Beiber mashup, now it's time for two new artists!
You've seen the Slipknot and Justin Beiber mashup, now it's time for two new artists!
Former Korn guitarist and current Love & Death frontman Brian 'Head' Welch has slowly been working his way back into the Korn camp ever since his surprise appearance at the 2012 Carolina Rebellion Festival, where Welch performed 'Blind' with the rest of Korn. Now, with Head set to join Korn at Rock on the Range in Ohio and several European dates this year, the possibility of Welch's permanent return to Korn is becoming more and more real.
The band grants a Make-A-Wish Foundation wish come true for a sick fan.
The short film features Davis during a trip to Ramstein Air Base in Germany in August of last year.
The frontman for Korn took a trip to Germany to visit armed forces members and it's become a short-film documentary.
Jonathan Davis is moved when a family shares a part of their fallen soldier with him.
Yes it's true, Head joined Korn onstage for "Blind". If I didn't know any better that sentence would make absolutely zero sense.
Creepy kids, bad guys… it's everything you need in a video.
Lyrics read like you've never heard them before.
We recently had the opportunity to chat with former Korn guitarist and current Love & Death frontman, Brian "Head" Welch, and touched upon a wide range of topics. One of them happened to be the recent Guns N' Roses drama at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony, in which Axl Rose decided not to join his former bandmates at the event.
While playing a gig in Italy, guitarist James "Munky" Shaffer offered up some thoughts about the band's current full-length, 'The Path of Totality,' and how the band took chances on this set by incorporating dubstep into the mix.
Whew! Korn has just released a video for what I think is the best track off of the "Path To Totality" collection (c.d.? download? whatever!). It's the opening track on the c.d. and I feel like it really sets the stage for the rest of the songs. This is the kind of track that really makes you understand where the band is going to be coming from for the next 45 minutes or so. More after the jump.
