Trust me... I've seen me do it.
I was born and raised in Maryland and have decided to stick around for a while. I have a HUGE family and absolutely love spending time with them. My nieces and nephews are funny as hell... and I have no idea where they get some of the stuff they say. Honest, it wasn't from me. I enjoy catching up with friends, going to bars especially with a live band, or catching a concert, BBQs, being outside and active. Yet, delivery pizza, a movie, and a nice nap once in a while is sweet! I'm looking for a girl who is smart (smart-ass is OK too), friendly, fun-loving and low maintenance... is adventurous but also likes to relax and appreciate the smaller things life has to offer.

Christopher DiMarino It's time to start looking at the positions that the Pittsburgh Steelers will look to draft in April. I like to start with a very broad scope, so if certain players surge leading up to the draft, I'm prepared. It is also a good idea to get a feel for a player before the combine, so you can tell if players are rated high just based on one weekend of workouts. Outside linebacker is an integral position for the Steelers and regardless of the status of James Harrison, there is a good chance that one will be targeted early in the draft.

I've just finished with a prolonged excursion into one of my favorite MMO's - Uncharted Waters Online. It's a game I like to fall back to when I'm looking for fun and fed up with the new games. That said, I've gotten just about all the enjoyment I can get out of the game due to a very broken economy that came about after a new game development and allows for only one viable play style and some typical "F2P" nonsense.
The game, however, is a solid piece of work that is entertaining, immersive, open-ended, fairly harsh when it needed to be, has a huge game world and is educational... yes, educational! You can actually take any historic map of the era (1500's) and use that for your own navigation if you wanted to. The game play, overall, pretty much paints an fairly accurate picture of what life would be like and missions that require things like bringing item A to point B actually make sense when taken in context with the game world.
But, this review is all about EVE, right?
I came back again to trying out EVE after spending a few months in the Uncharted Waters universe. EVE and I have a strange relationship, it's sort of a love-hate one. I loved the concept of the game since I signed up and participated in the beta 10 years ago. I went back for a few months in 2007/8 and again, just returned for a few weeks.
Everything about that game is a concept I should love; it all appeals to the hardcore, realistic gamer in me. There's something though... well, I'll just document what my past couple weeks in game has been like and you can decide how good or bad the game is:
Day 1 - Installation and registration went well. It's been years since I last played and with all the changes, I figured I would start over again from scratch.
Impressive looking world/universe/space! The graphics overhaul a while back really did this game justice.
Let's see. This computer blip at the bottom of my screen wants to tell me something, let me read...
Ah, a mission. I get it. Might as well start my way through the tutorial.
Wow! That text sure is tiny, kind of blends with the background too. Better get my glasses on. Damn this old age!
Day 2 - Cool! This mission game me an item I can put on my ship. Wait a second... what do you mean I need to upgrade a skill for that?
Fine. Where can I get the.... oh, guess I'll visit the Market.
Great, got it. Let me train.
Hrmm, 15 minutes. I really want this extra cargo space though. Guess I'll wait.
Day 3, 4 5... - Ok, so I pick up item A, scan Item B and bring the results back.
Let me set the course, undock, autopilot on... go!
Hey, here's the space junk. Let me scan it with.... with.... ah fuck me! Scanner's back in my inventory!
Head back to station. Get scanner out of inventory, fit it on ship, head back out.
Ok space junk, this time I got you!
Scanning... scanning... scanning... scan failed.
Scanning... scanning... scanning... scan failed.
Scanning... scanning... scanning... scan failed.
Scanning... scanning... scanning... scan failed.
Hrmm, am I doing something wrong? Let me ask in the chat.
*types question in* Hrmm... maybe... wait... what?
Goddamit! Chat's scrolling too fast to read anything!
Let me go online and check the forums.
After a 20 minute forum scroll and Google search later, I just decide to try it again.
Great! Let me go back to base and finish this mission. Just need to set course and dock, there we go!
The fuck you mean I'm missing something?!
Are you fucking serious?! I have to go back out, scan the goddamn thing again and actually "open" the container?!
Screw this! I'm going for some combat!
Day 6+ - Hrmm, mission said there were pirates somewhere... ah!
Wait, which speck is theirs? Screw it. I'll just target them from the list on the side.
Locked. Good!
Die you pirate scum!
Fifteen seconds pass...
Well, that was easy, too easy. No cool counter attacks. No variety. Hell, I didn't even have to do anything other than click my weapon systems. Come to think of it, I don't think I ever saw the ship I blew up until the fireball at the end... Hrmm, I might try mining.
Day 7 - Ugghhh so many skills to train! You're kidding me... 20 hours to train this?! maybe I can... oh wait... no, I can't do anything to speed that up, can I? I don't feel like dealing with those damn tutorial quests again! Guess I'll just wait. Wonder what new flash games are out these days.
Day 11 - Wow! 3 whole days of nothing but skill training! I should be ready to head out and really make a dent in those asteroids!
Blast! No more left in this asteroid field! Let me try the next one. *30 minutes later* Finally found a freakin' asteroid! Yay me!
Let's see, target, lock - check. Ore hold empty - check. Mining laser online - check. Ok then, let's go!
I said... ok then, let's go!
Let's go!
What the fuck, you fucking piece of fucking horseshit?! I said fucking MINE! MINE! Everything's there. Go! Mine the fucking....
Ah fuck this! Fuck this game! And fuck the world that thinks this shit is supposed to be fun!
And so, EVE is no longer taking up space on my hard drive. Although I love the concept of this game and, in theory, should love everything about the game, it fails horribly at actually being entertaining. I get about as much excitement trying to debug software errors as I did playing this game, all 3 times now.
I understand a game being difficult to master and am a fan of most games that have a steep learning curve, but some of the mechanics in EVE seem to be there just for the sake of making it difficult. Why, for instance, wouldn't scanning an object open that object after the scan was successful? It only makes sense to scan it so you can open it, why make you go through that extra step of opening it?
All EVE seems like to me, is a bunch of superfluous steps and mouse clicks that are added for the sake of saying it's "hardcore". There's a difference between difficult and challenging. EVE not only crosses that line, but goes so far past it, you can't tell there was even a line!
In terms of immersion, nothing in EVE ever really drew me in. The story was told via a computer display that really had no sense of character development or personality. I understand sandbox games better than most, but most games let you see the NPCs and have dialogue that portrays something about them and the story. Going through EVE's story just felt like reading blueprints every step of the way.
Also, not being able to advance your character through in-game actions kills any sense of immersion and attachment I have to that character. Seriously. If I get to the point where I need to wait 20 hours for a skill to train in order to so something I want to do and there's nothing I can do in the game to change that, the game is pretty much telling me to go log off and not play for 20 hours. That's a funny way to show immersion... by not playing the game?!
The space combat and controls are also annoyingly detached from the player. Click a name, target ship, select "approach" from a menu, watch your ship automatically turn, select your weapon when in range and watch your ship automatically fire.
Honestly, and it kills me to say this, for all the people complaining about the lack of skill and auto-targeting in WoW, tell me how this is any better? I never once felt like I needed to use any skill in order to fight another ship. The only "skill" that ever really seemed to matter were those of my character... which brings us back to the last point about skill training and downtime!
I swear to God, it's as though EVE's entire marketing statement says "I'm the most awesome game you'll never really play!". Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to a Tower Defense game I got hooked on while playing EVE!

Your problem is that you don't know how to play the game. Get out to 00, yes you can do that right off the bat, and learn what Eve is really like.

The review seems like it's from a few years ago.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

i have the same relationship with EVE. Beta, brief stint for a couple months in 08 and I just re-subbed a few days ago. There is just something about the game that makes me want to check it out every once in awhile.
I don't feel the same as the OP though. Although the skill system does make a noob want to cry tears of blood and despair, you can still have fun along the way. None of the mechanics frustrate me that much either. But then again, I love learning curves in games, finding out how things work is half the fun for me.
I find EVE very immersive. It's got great atmosphere and graphics. Even the music gives you that lonely desolate feeling of being the in middle of @#$%ing nowhere..lol. It does tend to come off as a VERY slow paced game, but I'm older now, I don't mind that.
I have yet to make it to 0.0 space, or join a good corp and supposedly that's where the real game is. The biggest problem I have with EVE is convincing any of my friends to play it with me. It's just too much information for their tiny little minds to handle I guess :P

Ultimately, I feel it's more about the people you fly with than the specific circumstances of one's environment. With a good tight knit group which already are friends or are becoming friends through the game, mostly everywhere/everything is enjoyable.

Op claims he wants a serious relationship when what he really wants is sex and halarity ensues as he learns that EvE isn't that sort of girl.

The learning curve of Eve is great, the sandbox feel is great, the feeling that you get from making your 1st load of cash is great, the having to watch as 5 year veterans gank noobs in high sec "because they can" and have no punishment as they bully the younger kids... Isn't great!
I hated watching them constantly "picking on" and ganking the newbies for kicks like bullies, just because they could with no fear of the newbies comeback. And don't say "But Concord.. bah...bah.." Concord is as much use as a police force as a donkey is at catching mice!
Eve could have been the best space MMO ever if it was more like "Elite" with the prats, opps! pirates made bully each other in lowsec . But who would the pirates gank then? Each other! They do that anyway if you would leave highsec ya bullying chicken! ;)
Highsec gankers are cowards that can't fight the other bullies of the same size, in case the get beat up and have to run off QQing! lol.
(And no, the bad pirate didn't touch me anywhere before you tough guys ask).
I'd say "Fly safe!" but there's no such thing in Eve. o/

I can't really say one way or the other how your experience would be. If I started from scratch today I'd still have my experience but suggesting you can't mine is absurd. Everyone, starts with the Mining skill to 1. You get a free Venture in a few hrs.
While EVE has many flaws, the introduction to the game is not one of them. If you obsess over skill points, you are going to learn to hate this game. There are 30 years worth of Skill points. You aren't supposed to train them all.

so he warps to belt...THEN checks his ore hold for space.
as I opened the topic, seeing someone named Free2play review one of the last remaining P2P MMOs, I knew how it'll end.
Now I didnt expect him to ragequit over mining but...
11 days. not one mention of talking to his corp or asking for help. nor the local or rookie channel. and I KNOW he's in a corp because he game puts him in one.
yeah, perhaps it's better that way, OP. for you and us. Soloing EVE is not what this (or any) MMORPG is designed for.

Don't mind these guys badmouthing you.
I agree with your contention that EVE is boring. I spent 3 months playing thinking my investment would pay off. It didn't. The gameplay is boring and it doesn't help that you rarely engage with other players unless you have money coming out of your ears.
It gets so many things right, but fails at what the purpose of games are: entertainment. It's just not satisfying to play.
If you ever think of coming back watch a Stream of another person playing first. You'll see them sitting around doing nothing 95% of the time. The other 5% is awkward clicking on menu buttons like this is 1997.

Like I've said a million times before, EVE is simultaneously the most exciting and boring game that you will ever play. You will spend countless hours bored to tears just for a few minutes of extreme adrenaline.
However, if you never PVP, then only the boring part applies.

while not big into trading myself, EVE's trading is very strong. And all because you pvp'ers keep breaking your toys and need someone to build you more. So keep figting. Everyone wins. except those who lose. :D
a virtual world where economy and society as a whole is only possible through endless war...Orwell might've had something similar in mind back in 1948. :D

another review from a clueless player that can't be bothered to learn the game at all and whines about everything he doesen't understand. For the record, tutorial missions (and it took you 11 DAYS to get to mining, something most noobs would do in their first 1-2 HOURS of play) are nothing but the bare bone indicators of which controls you use in the game - the equivalent of pressing buttons and right clicking a monster in your typical wow mmo). It's supposed to teach you how some of the basic gameplay works, not to be a fun ride...
Most of your 'review' is also filled of bullshit and wrong assumptions which more or less shows you don't really have an idea what this game is about. This is the kind of game where you'll need to do your homework before playing, while playing and before deciding what to do. You trivialize the gameplay, and the combat system after a few minutes because "all you have to do is lock and fire your guns!", while completly disregarding any strategical decisions you have to undergo before even pressing F1 (and you probably know nothing at all about game mechanics), because, again you have a narrow vision and didn't bother learning how the game works. By that logic one can say chess is a terrible game because the gameplay is nothing but moving pieces from one tile to another. How boring, and unneccessary complex, why do they all have different movements??
If you aren't willing to put up some time and effort into learning the big picture in this game (and judging by your extremly slow progression you didn't), then you should definetly seek out for other alternatives. This isn't a game where you have quests holding your hand and telling you what to do and where to go until max level - this game is exactly as you make it to be for yourself. That is not a review, it's just you being frustrated and spewing random ideas with no understanding on why you can't have fun in a game when you don't know where to look for it, and expect it to be handed to you on a spoon. It's like starting out WoW and saying the game sucks after 5 minutes because "damn all you do is press tab and shoot a fireball at a monster until he drops dead". Clearly bad.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — New Bills defensive coordinator Mike Pettine is still evaluating the high-priced, underachieving group he has inherited, but he saw enough from the opposing sideline last season to know "the cupboard is not bare" in Buffalo.
Proud Pettine eager to turn Bills defense around
Having spent the past four seasons with the Jets, Pettine says Friday in his introductory press conference that the talent level in Buffalo was one factor in his decision to switch teams two weeks ago.
"There are some good football players here and we are excited to work with them," he said. "They are explosive athletes and playmakers and we are looking forward to building a system that is going to take advantage of that."
Pettine's challenge is to transform a defense that last season finished 22nd in yards allowed, while giving up 435 points, the second-most in team history. Buffalo went 6-10 before coach Chan Gailey was replaced by Doug Marrone.
The defensive struggles were a surprise, considering Buffalo invested consecutive top 10 picks in defensive lineman Marcell Dareus and cornerback Stephon Gilmore and signed defensive end Mario Williams to a $100 million contract in free agency.
"I can't really speak on what happened here," Pettine said. "I do know that we are going to bring a passion. We are going to work hard and the stuff we are going to do is going to highlight what we do well. There is no substitute for putting the work in, both on the field and in the classroom. I think that's where a lot of people think there is some magic schematically. It really isn't. Football is a game of a million little things.
"And we'll try to get as many of those things taught as we can."
Pettine said it's too early to declare what schematic changes he may implement. Dave Wannstedt switched the Bills to four-lineman, three-linebacker base formation last season after the team spent two years deploying — and drafting players for — a 3-4 alignment.

I bought about 25 lbs dry with 10lbs reef saver and used some Live Fiji locally to seed it for a 65g tank. This rock is less dense than reef saver or Fiji. It looks fanatastic. I only wish I had bought more. I got exactly the kind a pieces I requested when I wrote a note in the notes section. Great customer service from BRS. Beautiful Display Rock By Kenny on 6/17/2013 Kenny would recommend this product to a friend I have two large pieces sitting on base rock in a 45 gallon cube style tank. This rock looks amazing and there are plenty of nooks and crannies for coral placement. Everyone that has seen my new start-up has complemented the look. I keep a 10 gallon salt water tank going and plan on switching over to this rock if it comes in small enough size. Packing and shipping were A+. Thanks BRS. Rock my water world By red fish on 6/17/2013 red fish would recommend this product to a friend 40 lb Pukani for my 50 gal ADA custom reef. I have already recommended to my friends. After watching all the videos I got brave and I will never regret it. Very little to do with the rocks I received. They were already almost perfect. Small cuts off bottom & carved out some caves, all in about 1 1/2 hours for a girl and her tools. Thank you BRS. Only rock I would buy By Rb3 on 6/7/2013 Rb3 would recommend this product to a friend I ordered the 50 lbs fiji rock bulk buy the first time from BRS and I was impressed with what I received. I begin to run out of places to mount my corals so I decided to purchase the pukani dry rock. Man! I should've bought this rock the first time. My 20 lbs order almost looked as much as the 50 lbs Fiji I bought earlier. The .70 difference is well worth it. Very porous, more room for creativity on aquascaping, and very, very light. You will not be dissappointed, it's more rock for the price. EXCELLENT product! A very happy and satisfied customer. By Sakura2282 on 6/6/2013 Sakura2282 would recommend this product to a friend I'm so in love of these rocks they look beautiful and amazing in my tank. I asked BRS to send me the best selection of rocks for my 46 gallon Bow Front tank, and they definitely did it. They sent me 4 large rocks and 1 small (I ordered 30 pounds). The rock they chose for me was just PERFECT! I was able to carve the caves I so much wanted for my aquarium. I worked the rock just as they show in their videos and everything went well. I would like to post a picture of the rocks so you can see them, but they don't have that option in here. But if you are thinking in buying this rock, you can be sure you won't regret it! Thanks BRS, you guys rock! 50/50 By Brandon on 6/5/2013 Brandon wouldn't recommend this product to a friend I ordered 30lbs of this in the larger size. I got two very large pieces but one was a really nice Pukani piece and the other was clearly their reef saver rock and it looks nothing like pukani. I emailed BRS but got no response. Best rock to get By Big salt on 6/4/2013 Big salt would recommend this product to a friend Ordered this rock came in within a week bulk reef supply is a high quality company, called them were very friendly and helpful. The rock looks fantastic. Very highly reccommended. Don't waste your money on others this is the top rock! Great By T J on 5/31/2013 T J would recommend this product to a friend Love the pieces you guys sent me, thanks. Big Pukani Rocks By Reef Valley on 5/30/2013 Reef Valley would recommend this product to a friend This big Pukani rocks are great. Easy to aquascape By Anh on 5/28/2013 Anh would recommend this product to a friend I ordered 110 lbs for my new 180G tank and they are very easy to aquascape. Most of the rock is big, very porous and have natural looking. Great stuff. I ordered little bit after 3pm and my order was shipped out same day. Great customer service from Brandon. Highly recommend. Awesome rocks By TBS on 5/24/2013 TBS would recommend this product to a friend I have some of this in my tank surrounding a large 20" wide tonga complex multi branch piece as a focal point. It's just stunning and they blend so well together. I have been running a little rowaphos as a preventative measure to keep phosphates down as there is die off inside the rocks. These are a great buy and they're so light and porous, wouldn't buy more than 1/2 to 3/4 lb per gallon as another reviewer mentioned. Very Nice! By svtcobra on 5/13/2013 svtcobra would recommend this product to a friend This rock is excellent. BRS shipped quickly and the sizes and quantity were better than expected. If you need dry rock to start up a new system, just buy it. You will not be sorry.

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Wisconsin's population has grown by about 16,000 people, or 0.3 percent, in the past year with the largest percentage growth coming in Brown and Dane counties, according to figures released Wednesday by the state's Department of Health Services.
There were 5.70 million residents in the state last year, according to the agency's statistics, a modest increase from the 5.69 million people in 2010.
Brown County led the way in percentage growth, gaining about 2,300 residents, or 0.9 percent. Dane County also grew 0.9 percent, adding a state-high 4,214 residents.
The counties that lost residents are mainly in the far north and were already among the smallest in the state. Forest County lost about 100 residents, or 1 percent, leaving about 9,200 remaining. And the state's second-smallest county got 1 percent smaller, as Florence County lost 41 residents to end up with about 4,400.
Overall, 42 counties saw population growth, 19 lost residents and 11 remained essentially unchanged.
The largest counties are Milwaukee County (950,000), Dane County (492,000) and Waukesha County (391,000). The smallest are Menominee County (4,250), Florence County and Iron County (5,850).
Dane and Brown counties had the largest growth in absolute numbers last year. Next were Milwaukee County, which added about 2,000 residents (0.2 percent), and Outagamie County, which added 1,145 people (0.6 percent).
The Department of Health Services also broke down the numbers by dividing the state into five regions. The south, southeast and northeast each gained about 4,500 people, while the western region added about 2,620 people and the northern region remained flat.
Wisconsin is expected to keep growing over the next 30 years. A report from Gov. Scott Walker's administration in July predicted that the state would gain more than 800,000 people by 2040, swelling to a population of 6.5 million.
The report predicted the growth would be driven by increased migration and a birth rate that stayed ahead of the death rate. The increase is expected to slow around 2030, however, as baby boomer deaths rise and migration slows.

Finest Certified 1876 Eagle PR65 Ultra Cameo NGC1876 $10 PR65 Ultra Cameo NGC. The Philadelphia Mint struck 45 proof Eagles in 1876, a bit more than usual for the era because of the Centennial Exposition held that year in Philadelphia. The Mint had a table at the Expo, and offered proofs to attendees. These are rarely seen today, and Heritage has not offered a proof 1876 since the 2002 FUN Signature, nearly four years ago. The third party populations for the proof 1876 Eagle are clearly inflated by resubmissions at the PR64 level, since the total population in this grade is a combined 21 pieces at NGC and PCGS. However, as of (9/05), only the present piece has been certified in PR65 or higher grades, with or without a Cameo or Ultra Cameo designation.
This beautifully preserved Gem is noteworthy for its seamless frost throughout the devices and legends, and because the preservation is exceptional, it can be identified only by a short diagonal lintmark (as made) southeast of the 6 in the date. Interestingly, the date exhibits recutting on the 8 and 6 in the date, visible beneath the peak of those digits. Presumably, the piece was among the first proofs struck, and evidence of the recutting rapidly faded, since the cataloger could not locate a prior reference to a repunched date variety among the rare prior appearances of the proof issue.(#98816) (Registry values: P4) (PCGS# 98816)

When India decided to shore up their second doubles pair, it was Saina Nehwal who put her hand up and agreed to partner PV Sindhu. The combination first appeared on the team sheet of the Uber Cup in the group match against Thailand.
Against the Thais, Saina and Sindhu had won the first two singles and the doubles pair of Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa took the doubles. As all five ties are played in the group stages, even when a team has taken an insurmountable lead, the newly-formed combination was tried out in what was to be their first competitive doubles match.
Saina and Sindhu went down in two games but since India had already advanced to the quarterfinals, only positives were drawn from the loss in the second doubles.
The decision to tag team India's best two singles players was taken to add to the muscle of the squad if and when a five-match tie is played out in its entirety. The hosts banked on winning the first three ties because the first two singles and the first doubles pair were their strongest suit.
Unfortunately, Japan, India's opponents in the semifinals on Friday, possessed stronger all-round strength than what India had faced in the tournament so far.
Japan have three singles players in the top-20 while the doubles pairs of Misaki Matsutomo and Sayaka Takahashi are ranked No.4 and Miyuki Maeda and Reika Kakiiwa are just a place below their compatriots.
Once again India won the first two singles. Saina beat Minatsu Mitani in straight games and Sindhu, for the second day in a row, dug deep to pull off a 19-21, 21-18, 26-24 win against Takahashi. Sindhu's seventy-two minute battle on court shifted the momentum in favour of the hosts. It was now up to India's best ranked doubles combination to finish off the tie and not leave it to PC Thulasi, whose big match temperament had a question mark against it, or to the scratch pair of Saina-Sindhu.
After losing the first game against Matsutomo and Takahashi, Jwala and Ashwini took the second game and were leading 8-4 in the third. It was a lead that would have put even the hardy Japanese, who thrive on their well-rounded defensive game, under pressure.
Tide turning
But the Japanese rallied to win five consecutive points and the Indians could perhaps instantly feel the tide turning. From 9-all, the Japanese never fell behind and took the third game to get a foothold back in the match.
When on song, like they were during the group games against Canada, Hong Kong and Thailand (and in the quarterfinals versus Indonesia for that matter), the Indian …continued »

By Maisie McCabe, campaignlive.co.uk, Monday, 11 August 2014 12:35PM
It is understood that Adam & Eve/DDB's current contract with Kwik Fit runs out in October but that because of increasing after-sale work for Volkswagen and the new client AA, the Omnicom agency will not seek to expand the relationship.
The move ends an 11-year relationship between Kwik Fit and DDB agencies. Kwik Fit originally hired BMP DDB in April 2003. It had previously worked with the Scottish agency Faulds Advertising.
No one at Adam & Eve/DDB would comment. A spokesman for Kwik Fit had not responded to request for comment by the time of publication.

GDC 2010: Nvidia's Sarah Tariq on Simulating Realistic Hair
A cool new video has surfaced on YouTube from GDC 2010 showing Nvidia's Sarah Tariq talking about and explaining a new DX11/CUDA demo running on the new Fermi cards that shows off realistic hair with over 18,000 strands being computed with CUDA all on the GPU. Pretty fascinating stuff, the hair color reacts realistically to light and in the demo different levels of wind can be applied to the face to show off how the hair reacts realistically. Can't wait to see stuff like tis really implemented into games and hopefully NVIDIA releases this tech demo when the new Fermi cards are finally announced or released.

SocGen, Santander Lead $30 Billion Bond Tenders to Boost Capital
Nov. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Societe Generale SA and Banco Santander SA are among banks offering to buy back or exchange part of about $30 billion of junior debt issuance to boost capital and raise money as borrowing costs rise.
The bond tenders that started in Europe this week allow the banks to repurchase subordinated notes at a discount, booking a capital gain, or swap the securities to raise senior debt. Others pursuing the strategy include BNP Paribas SA, France's biggest bank, and Northern Rock Asset Management Plc, the so-called bad bank spun off from the lender being purchased by Richard Branson's Virgin Money Holdings U.K. Ltd.
"Banks are killing two birds with one stone," said Pilar Gomez-Bravo, a senior adviser at Negentropy Capital in London, which oversees about 200 million euros ($271 million) of securities. They're "generating a capital gain, while at the same time accessing senior funding markets, in some cases significantly below current market rates," she said.
European banks will need to increase their buffer against losses, or capital, by 106 billion euros under tougher rules being introduced by the European Banking Authority to counter the economic crisis. The tenders are also a useful funding tool after the extra yield investors demand to hold senior bank bonds instead of benchmark government debt jumped by 90 percent since mid-year.
Discount Price
SocGen offered to repurchase as much as 900 million euros of a total $8.2 billion of Tier 1 notes today, at prices starting at 56 percent of face value. Banco Santander, the biggest Spanish lender, asked holders of 6.8 billion euros of subordinated bonds to swap their securities for new senior notes on Nov. 15.
BNP Paribas, France's largest bank, offered to exchange or repurchase part of about $10 billion of subordinated bond issuance yesterday for as little as 72.5 cents on the dollar, according to a series of statements. SNS Bank BV of the Netherlands announced a tender of Lower Tier 2 notes yesterday, while nationalized U.K. bank Bradford & Bingley Plc is also tendering for debt.
Senior European bank bond spreads widened to 365 basis points more than German bunds, from 192 basis points on June 17, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch's EUR Corporates, Banking index. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.
"Banks are currently taking advantage of poor liquidity in the market to buy back, or more often exchange, redundant capital instruments on very attractive terms for the issuer," said Mark Harmer, an analyst at ING Groep NV in Amsterdam. "It's definitely a growing trend, especially where traditional access to senior funding channels is limited."

It's normal to shed up to 150 strands of hair a day. But over time you produce less hair and the diameter of the shaft thins as growth slows, explains Dr. Jeni Thomas, principal scientist for P&G Beauty. Instead of thickening products that just bind fibers together, look for something that contains caffeine or panthenol to actually increase the diameter of hair.

Subscribe now to begin a year of Artforum—the world's leading magazine of contemporary art. You'll get all three big preview issues, featuring Artforum's comprehensive advance roundups of the shows to see each season around the globe.
Anicka Yi can't forget the "taste" of El Bulli recipe 1647, mentholated and matcha-infused water vapor sealed below a layer of ice. Like Ferran Adrià before her, Yi is drawn to enmeshing the scientific and the sensual. This vital aspect of her practice has been enriched by her experience last year as an MIT visiting artist, which granted Yi long-desired access to scientific expertise. This exhibitiona multifaceted installationpromises to be her most consuming outing yet. In the spirit of her molecular gastronomic madeleine, diffused menthol vapor and a curious sound track will greet visitors as they happen on a petri-dish pond inhabited by Yi's newly enhanced arsenal of the material and the bacterial. The attendant monograph, with contributions by Upitis, Johanna Burton, and Caroline Jones, will savor Yi's exploration of the notion of taste as contagion.
True to the maxim "Everything's bigger in Texas," this exhibition will be the most extensive survey to date by New York fixture Marilyn Minter. Gathering more than two dozen paintings made since 1976, the show delves deep into Minter's oeuvre, past her iconic recent canvases of dolled-up orifices to more abstracted appropriations of vintage photographs and enamels of eroticized food. In the decade since Minter's work was beamed into pop consciousness via prominent placement in the trashy, coyly satiric soap Gossip Girl, she has continued to ply her seductive, glossy imagery. Three videos and the artist's earliest photographic seriesfeaturing Minter's pill-plagued but still-glamorous mother before a mirrorlend context and gravitas to the stuff she's made so wretchedly gorgeous. Travels to MCA Denver, Sept. 18, 2015–Jan. 31, 2016; Orange County Museum of Art, Newport Beach, CA, Apr. 1–July 10, 2016; Brooklyn Museum, 2016.
The past few years have seen the Gutai group catapult to the forefront of the ever-expanding history of postwar art. But the specificities of its members' respective practices remain undetermined, a situation this two-person exhibition, co-organized with the Japan Foundation, Tokyo, seeks to remedy in part. For both Shiraga and Motonaga, the element of chance was central. Best known for painting exuberantly with his feet, Shiraga regarded abstraction as a form of live theater. Motonaga poured vividly hued paints, which pooled or ran in currents across his canvases, thus capturing the unpredictability of fluids left to their own devices. Including nearly sixty paintings, drawings, photographs, films, sculptures, archival materials, and re-creations of installations that cover the full extent of the artists' careers from the 1950s to the 2000s, the exhibition and accompanying catalogue seek to illuminate how both artists so gleefully crossed the boundaries of painting, performance, and documentationall in the name of abstraction.
Tadao Ando's 2001 building for the Pulitzer Arts Foundation is both minimal and restrained, but it's not quite a white cube. It is light gray, the color of the architect's signature cast-in-place concrete, and its complex interiors, marked by carefully layered spaces and subtle plays of height and volume, belie the boxlike simplicity of its silhouette. As the latest spate of high-profile institutional projects reveals that museum architecture is still defined by the familiar polarity between overwhelming excess and mind-numbing neutrality, Ando's recently completed renovation of the Pulitzer (which has transformed the building's lower administrative and storage level into new galleries) could not be more timely. The inaugural, multilevel installation of solo exhibitions of the work of Alexander Calder, Fred Sandback, and Richard Tuttle serves to emphasize visual and spatial interconnection, demonstrating that a museum can actively shape the viewer's experience without overpowering the art or simply fading into the background.
If a select few of Pop art's past and present stars (think Sigmar Polke and Jeff Koons) recently took New York, the Walker Art Center's upcoming exhibitionfeaturing some 140 works produced over the course of three decades on four continentsaims to widen our Pop horizons far beyond the usual names and locales. Alongside such household brands as Warhol and Rauschenberg, Polke will make an appearance, but so too will his (less recognized) fellow Capitalist Realists Konrad Lueg and Manfred Kuttner, here joined by Argentineans Marta Minujín and Edgardo Giménez, Brazilian Wanda Pimentel, and the Japanese-born Ushio Shinohara and Yayoi Kusama, among many others. Incorporating an extensive film and video program and showcasing works across media, the Walker exhibition and accompanying catalogue promise an unmatched opportunity to assess Pop's global reach, and (it's Pop, after all) to see some standout works by a few undisputed stars in the process. Travels to the Dallas Museum of Art, Oct. 11–Jan. 17, 2016; Philadelphia Museum of Art, Feb. 18–May 15, 2016.
From leather dykes and surfer dudes to LA freeways and Minnesota icehouses, the photography of Catherine Opie has long engaged in a dialogue between the genres of portraiture and landscape. The Wexner offers a new lens through which to understand that discourse by focusing on two of Opie's most recent bodies of work: a series of color portraits of friends, family members, and fellow artists and a collection of quasi-abstract landscape photographs. Opie pushes the lush color and formal stature of her portraits even further, sometimes presenting these works in oval formats recalling Northern Renaissance painting. In her latest landscapes, she racks the camera's focus to create pictures in which nature (forests, waterfalls, mountains) is loosely recognizable yet never clearly resolved or easily inhabitable. This show promises to open another chapter in Opie's ongoingand thoroughly indispensablephotographic story.

While I was away
I HATE winter. The freezing cold that turns the atmosphere into one huge freezer; the chilly wind blowing the face and turning the eyes red. Tall trees shorn of their greenery, just standing there like electric poles without wires. Once beautiful fields of grass stripped of their lushness. And flowers hiding their beauty in reverence to the wintry blaze, eagerly awaiting the spring to bloom and show off their colours. Men and women decked out in thick black jackets to fight off the biting cold.
But it was not so on my first trip to Istanbul, the beautiful city that is Turkey's business and tourism hub. It was bright and seductive in 2009. Not so on Monday, February 13 when we landed at the Ataturk Airport, a monument to the Turkish people's spirit of enterprise. It was snowing lightly. As I jumped onto the bus to run away from the chill, I remembered Nigeria where the sun shines all-year round and nature –except for occasional anger, many a time fuelled by human remissness - has been very kind.
But it was not the nostalgic memories of a warm Nigeria that kept this reporter thinking about home. No. Neither was it the numbling cold. Events were tumbling in at a rate that will make the most ardent of commentators breathless. In just one week!
Kogi, which was just struggling to recover from the hangover of an obscene battle for the governorship seat, was the scene of a massive jail break. Boko Haram, the rampaging sect whose activities have been condemned by some of the leading lights of Islam, stormed the Koton Karfe Prison in a blaze of bullets, setting free some 115 inmates. The sect said it was all to free seven of its men who were being held in the facility. The invasion had been preceded by a crushing attack by yet unknown assailants, who smashed their way into a bank, blew up the vaults and set the place on fire. The imprimatur was Boko Haram's, but the police said the invaders were robbers whose attempt to attack the bank had been foiled and in anger torched the place and surrounding buildings. But the question is: why Kogi, always?
Lawmakers in the old Western Region gathered in Ibadan, the ancient city of warriors, to push a noble idea – unity that will fast-track development and revive the glory of the area that was the envy of all in education, agriculture, sports and other areas of human endeavour. That was before the rapacious mainstreamers and vote robbers descended, like locusts on a prosperous farm, on the Southwest to unleash a devastating blow that sank the ship of development. Now, recovery from the massive sick bay to which the place has been turned seems difficult. But integration is feasible – if the will is there. I am sure the public support remains firm.
Central Bank Governor Sanusi Lamido Sanusi's donation of N100 million to the victims of the Kano explosions generated so much heat. The row was so pulsating that its sounds reverberated beyond Nigeria, coming shortly after the Kano prince was quoted as telling the Financial Times that derivation was at the root of the Boko Haram madness. Now, many are asking: What manner of central banking is this? Is zakat part of central banking?
Apparently to silence those who questioned his decision to go to Kano, Sanusi was at Madalla on Monday. He shelled out N25 million for the victims of the Christmas Day church bombing in which 43 people died. But those idle critics, who know absolutely nothing about banking, keep lashing Sanusi whose moves, experts have told me, will do wonders to this cash–strapped economy. Consider another N25 million to the victims of the Mubi explosions, among whom was a bank manager; yet another donation to the victims of the Suleja, Yobe, Maiduguri and Kaduna blasts; the victims of the mindless attacks in Plateau and Ebonyi, and the numerous victims of natural disasters crying for assistance. By the time the Sanusi roadshow ends, the economy will have been fully reflated, with the naira overwhelming the dollar and inflation crashing to a single digit. Ingenuity.
Besides, if philanthropic organisations are failing in their self-appointed duties, is it out of place for the lender of last resort to become the donor of last resort?
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu returned to an exciting reception at the Lagos Airport from Britain after the wicked rumour that he had been gravely ill and flown overseas. Trust the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) Leader, a master of repartee; he told reporters that those purveying the rumour of his ill-health were suffering from paralysis of the mind. That was the end of the matter.
In Kaduna, the Boko Haram sect planted more bombs. A policeman who was trying to stop one from going off was killed as the bomb got detonated. Two other persons were injured. There were multiple explosions in the city that was just recovering from the blasts in and around some military bases, including the army's elitist 1 Division.
A tragic rainstorm hit Lagos, killing no fewer than 12 persons, including 10 kids. The boat in which the kids were travelling to school capsized. Buildings were damaged by the sudden storm. There were moving pictures of parents mourning their kids. Some kids kept on crying over their brothers, sisters and playmates. So sad.
And talking about kids. The would-be kid bomber, Farouk Abdulmutallab, the then 23-year-old who tried to bomb a Detroit-bound plane on Christmas Day in 2009, got a life jail sentence. The son of a former bank chair had everything a rich dad could offer his lucky kid – world-class education, cash and exposure. But something snapped. The young man got intoxicated by religious extremism, quit his post-graduate studies in Dubai and headed for Yemen, telling his family to forget him. The Abdulmutallab tragedy is a tough nut to crack. Was he pampered more than the other kids of the rich? Did his parents give him too much freedom so early in his life? We may never know.
Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi has recalled striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni, the gum chewing chap who couldn't tip the ball into an empty goal in a World Cup match in South Africa. Now, he seems to be in top form, banging in the goals for the Blackburn Rovers. But, of what use is a striker who fails to deliver when it is important that he must? Does Aiyegbeni possess the fighting spirit of a champion and the clinical finish of a world-class star that the Eagles require to make the fans forget the nightmarish past?
Also recalled is Sani Keita, who turned the pitch into a kick boxing arena and cost the team a well-deserved victory, getting a red card. When asked if he had any apology for the fans, Keita told the BBC: "I'm sorry for all Nigerians." I hope Keita, a defensive midfielder of remarkable agility, has learnt his lesson so that he will not need to be "sorry" for anybody again.
Amid the tragedy of a 51-year- old toddler with defective limbs groping in the dark and facing a scary future, Nigerians still exhibit an incredible sense of humour. Consider this that hit my phone as I arrived at the Lagos Airport:
"A man dies and goes to hell. There he finds that there are different hells for each country. He decides to go round and choose the least painful to spend his eternity. He goes to the German hell and asks, 'what do they do here?' He is told 'first they put you in an electric chair for an hour, then lay you on a bed of nails for another hour, then the German devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day'. The man does not like that at all; he moves on. He checks out the USA,UK and Russian hells as well as many more. He discovers that they are all similar to the German hell.
"Then he comes to the Nigerian hell and finds that there is a long queue of people waiting to get in. Amazed, he asks, 'what do they do here?' He is told, 'First they put you in an electric chair for an hour, and then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour, then the Nigerian devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day.'
"But that is exactly the same as all the other hells, 'why are there so many people waiting to get in?' asks the man. A concerned fellow calls him aside and says,
"Because there is never any stable electricity; so, the electric chair doesn't work.
The nails were paid for but were never supplied by the contractor, so the bed is comfortable to sleep on. And the Nigerian devil used to be a civil servant, so he comes in, signs his time sheet and leaves for his personal business !!!
"Doesn't it pay to be a Nigerian?"

Monday morning's commute may be slower than normal as snow continues to fall throughout the Madison area and city crews are out plowing.
The Streets Division had crews out all Saturday night on salt routes, with two trucks sanding residential streets at hills, curve and intersections, according to a release.
Thirty-two drivers will come in at noon on Sunday and work through the afternoon and evening, officials said. Crews will be applying salt on salt routes as long as temperatures allow.
"Temperatures are forecast to drop, so we will be switching to sand at some time this evening," the Sunday release said.
Most main streets should be in good winter driving conditions, but there will be a lot of blowing snow in open areas, officials said.
"We are going to be paying close attention to areas that are prone to blowing and drifting snow, but drivers should use caution," the release said.
Warm weather in the 60s arrived this week, and with it, an advisory from fire officials on outdoor fire hazards that accompany the season.
The Madison Fire Department said ordinances do not permit burning yard waste. A fire within outdoor fireplaces or pits -- with spark arresters in use and fire extinguisher or water source nearby -- are permitted as long as it is attended by a responsible adult.
The fire department also offered reminders on other seasonal fire hazards:
Madison potholes will become more prevalent as the weather warms up, and the city is already racing to fill more than 15,000 of them.
The cold and the rain put stress on the roads, causing potholes to pop up all over the city.
George Dreckmann with the Madison Streets Division said the year's winter will make the season longer, but that doesn't necessarily mean more potholes.
"Because the frost went so deep this year, the thawing is going to take a little bit longer and that means the pothole season is going to spread out, but it's not going to be quite as severe," Dreckmann said.
The city will temporarily fill potholes and then finish with something more permanent in the summer. They said they'll try to fill them within 24 hours of being reported.
According to Officials thirty-eight customers reported that their water meters freeze and crack or burst, and ninety-two water main breaks had been repaired in January.
Crews report that the current frost line appears to be 5 ft below ground, but as temperatures continue to plunge during the overnight hours, frost lines are expected to move deeper.
As a precaution, the city is conducting routine hydrant temperature checks to make sure the water in Madison's mains and hydrants is well within the normal wintertime range. The city's mains are generally buried about 6 feet below ground. The city reminds people to …

The difference is like night and day at the Olbrich Botanical Gardens. Outside of the glass, the temperatures have plunged well below zero, and the world is frozen and snow-covered. Inside the glass, the temperatures are in the mid-70s and everything is green, growing and blossoming. It is like a visit from spring 51 days early.
"Working here, sometimes you forget how wonderful it is, but I'll tell you, on these cold days, I come in and I'm so glad I'm not on the road crew. I think that many people would change jobs with me in a heartbeat right now," said Jennifer Recoy, assistant conservatory curator at the Olbrich Botanical Gardens. Recoy is in charge of growing plants at the facility.
The extreme cold is creating lots of work for the local water utility.
Madison Water Utility spokeswoman Amy Barrilleaux said that seven water main breaks throughout the city Tuesday morning had all the department's repair crews out.
Barrilleaux said mains broke Tuesday on:
The harsh dip in temperatures is the cause of the multiple breaks, Barrilleaux said. It also makes fixing the breaks difficult.
"It always makes things a little bit slower because our crews have to take breaks and warm up," she said. The icy streets also have to be salted and drains plowed to take care of the extra water in the roadways.
But she said the Madison Water Utility prepares for tough weather.
If Madison area residents are looking for a cabin fever cure, area parks offer various trails for a fun snow activity.
Madison Parks spokeswoman Laura Whitmore said snowshoeing is a great way to get outdoors in Wisconsin's winter months and experience the Madison area parks.
In addition to Edna Taylor Conservation Park, snowshoe trails are offered at Cherokee Marsh Mendota and North units, Elvehjem Park, Garner Park, Heritage Prairie, Heritage Sanctuary, Hoyt Park, Knollwood Conservation Park, Mineral Point Park, Prairie Ridge Conservation Park, Sandburg Woods, Walnut Grove Park and Warner Park.

Family, friends and fans bid Ah Nan farewell

Family, friends and fans of the late John Cheng, better known as Ah Nan, gathered at a carpark in Yishun Ring Road on Saturday afternoon to send off the veteran getai performer and part-time actor, who died of a heart attack last Tuesday.
The 52-year-old, whose life was as colourful as his multiple tattoos, collapsed backstage at a club where he was performing that night.
Close friends from the Artistes Association performed in honour of his memory at his funeral before the cortege left for the crematorium.

Apple refusing iPhone negotiations with 3 Italia?

Apple snubbing 3 Italia?
Apple may be refusing to negotiate with all players in the Italian cellphone market, one telecom executive suggests. Vincenzo Novari, the CEO of phone carrier 3 Italia, says that while his company is "super-interested about the iPhone," he has not heard any response in regard to inquiries at Apple, whether positive or negative. Novari in fact claims to have sent two e-mail messages directly to Apple CEO Steve Jobs, without receiving any sort of acknowledgement.
Access to the iPhone may be extremely important for 3, as its two chief rivals -- Vodafone and Telecom Italia -- have confirmed deals of their own to sell the iPhone, which may cement their edge in the Italian market. There is no word, though, on the fate of Wind, Italy's remaining major carrier. The company has in excess of 15 million subscribers, a base Apple may want or need to exploit in the future.
