Guns N' Roses Guitarist Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal's Father Passes Away
Sad news to report from the Guns N' Roses camp. The father of guitarist Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal has passed away.
Sad news to report from the Guns N' Roses camp. The father of guitarist Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal has passed away.
For all the benefits of being in Guns N' Roses, for Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal it has one particular drawback. In a new interview, the guitarist says that it's been very difficult to keep his solo career afloat, and that he would leave the band if he had to choose.
Get ready to feel really, really old because it's hard to believe how much time has elapsed since Guns n' Roses unleashed their second piece of vinyl product, 'GN'R Lies' on Nov. 30, 1988. It was released some fifteen months after their eventual record-setting debut album, 'Appetite for Destruction,' but a mere 90 days (give or take) after the same LP finally topped the Billboard 200 Albums chart.
We're going to forgo making any bad puns here about how sweet this drum cover is by this child. Oops! Sorry, we couldn't help it! Getting down to business, this kid rocks his drum kit jamming out to Guns N' Roses classic track 'Sweet Child O' Mine.' We're gonna nickname him 'Steven Toddler.'
We've always known that Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose can be a pretty volatile guy. In 1990, we found out what could happen if he had the misfortune of living next door to an equally excitable neighbor.
Well, they're sweet children of someone! This video from 2011 shows a group called the Lil Rock Band, which is comprised of kids aging between 11 and 15. One of the youngest looking members even pulls double duty handling rhythm guitar and vocals!
While Slash and Axl Rose have had a very tumultuous relationship (if you can even call not talking to each other a 'relationship') in the years since Slash parted ways with Guns N' Roses, the guitarist won't rule out the idea of a reunion at some point.
Congratulations are in order for drummer Matt Sorum and his longtime girlfriend Adriane "Ace" Harper. The happy couple finally tied the knot on Saturday, Oct. 12, in Palm Springs, Calif. surrounded by their family and friends.
Gilby Clarke stepped into the Guns N' Roses lineup at a time when the band sorely needed a replacement for guitarist Izzy Stradlin, so one might assume that GNR frontman Axl Rose would be extra nice to him. Then again, maybe not.
'She's got an instrument that seems to me / Reminds me of ancient memories' ... A young woman from Vancouver, Canada, has become a YouTube sensation after posting a video of herself playing the Guns N' Roses' classic 'Sweet Child O' Mine' on the ancient Chinese instrument the guzheng.
Last month, Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie and her actor husband Josh Duhamel announced that they had named their son Axl. It's not a very common name, and Fergie has said she's a big Guns N' Roses fan, meaning the kid was likely named after Axl Rose. This week, TMZ caught up with Slash and asked him his thoughts on the name (watch video above).
When Guns N' Roses released their 'Use Your Illusion I' and 'Use Your Illusion II' albums in the fall of 1991, large retail chains such as Wal-Mart and K-Mart refused to stock the titles because of the explicit lyrical content featured on tracks such as 'Back Off Bitch' and 'Pretty Tied Up.'

Ultra low budget and the acting is really really bad, but it's bad enough at least to be entertaining. Hokey but rather amusing plot.

Product description
The Plague is Albert Camus' world-renowned fable of fear and courage. The townspeople of Oran are in the grip of a deadly plague, which condemns its victims to a swift and horrifying death. Fear, isolation and claustrophobia follow as they are forced into quarantine. Each person responds in their own way to the lethal disease: some resign themselves to fate, some seek blame, and a few, like Dr Rieux, resist the terror. An immediate triumph when it was published in 1947, The Plague is in part an allegory of France's suffering under the Nazi occupation, and a story of bravery and determination against the precariousness of human existence. "A matchless fable of fear, courage and cowardice". (Independent). "Magnificent". (The Times). Albert Camus was born in Algeria in 1913. He studied philosophy in Algiers and then worked in Paris as a journalist. He was one of the intellectual leaders of the Resistance movement and, after the War, established his international reputation as a writer. His books include The Plague, The Just and The Fall, and he won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1957. Camus was killed in a road accident in 1960.

About Tehran
Sloping down from the Alborz Mountains in the north is Iran's capital, Tehran. It attracts many students to its educational centres, bringing with them a mixture of colourful and fashionable lifestyles, and offers a contrast between tradition and modernity.
You'll find many museums, parks, shopping, dining and heritage sites to explore, alongside modern architecture and cosmopolitan life. Tehran's roads are renowned for being hectic, and while taxi is a popular way to get around, there is a metro and railway to avoid the traffic. Tehran is Iran's transport hub, with good bus connections to take you further afield.
The climate is mild around April to May, and September to November, with cold winters and hot, humid summers.
Dining & Shopping
Restaurants in Tehran range from chic to traditional and meet all budgets, with a choice of delicious international cuisine.
If you're looking to sample the local dishes, try the chelo kabab - skewered lamb served with steamed rice and grilled tomatoes. The popular Alborz Restaurant on North Sohrevardi is regarded by many locals as serving the best chelo kabab in town. Follow this with a doogh, a traditional drink combining yoghurt, mint, water and salt, which can also be made fizzy.
A must-do in Tehran is to explore the eclectic mix of goods in the traditional bazaars. Visit the dizzying Tehran Bazaar in the city centre, a covered market where you can find just about anything you want, from textiles and spices to jewellery, clothes, food and more – but be prepared for the crowds. Or experience the huge Jomeh Bazaar – a flea market held on three levels of a car park on Joumbouri Avenue.
Near the bazaar in Tajrish Square are some of Tehran's main malls. Tehran's many malls offer luxury to value shopping, such as the popular Golestan Shopping Centre and Tirajeh Shopping Centre among others.
Pop into one of the coffee shops scattered across the city for a taste of Tehran's culture. Often
Wi-Fi connected, they are generally informal, frequented by Tehran's vibrant young people and make a relaxing retreat from Tehran's streets.
Entertainment & Attractions
Whether you're looking for culture, history or adventure, Tehran has much to offer the curious traveller.
Its most famous attractions include the iconic Azadi Tower in the west of the city, a majestic work of architecture completed in 1971. Explore the Azadi Museum inside and enjoy views of Tehran from the upper windows.
South of the commercial centre of Jomhuri-ye Eslami Avenue is where you'll find the best museums, including the National Museum of Iran and the glittering jewels of the Treasury of National Jewels on Ferdosi St.
Learn more about Tehran's foundation at the stunning royal Golestan Palace, a complex of 17 palaces and museums set in a tranquil park in the centre of Tehran. Its European influences can be seen in the beautiful architecture and decorative designs.
Tehran's many parks and gardens offer peace and tranquillity, such as Park-e Laleh or Mellat. On the west side of Park-e Laleh you'll find the Museum of Contemporary Art, which houses art by the greats including Van Gough, Matisse and Picasso.
View Tehran from above on a hike up the mountains to the north. A well-trodden trail starts from Darband, where the locals flock on a Friday and where you can also hop in a cable car for a journey up the mountainside. There are many cafés here to fuel your walk, and restaurants light up in the evening for a romantic dinner.
Beyond Tehran
There's more to explore on land and sea beyond the bustle of the city.
Enjoy the slopes at one of several ski resorts in the Alborz Mountains, two of the most famous being Dizin and Tochal only around 30 minutes from town. Taxis will take you from Tajrish Square to the cable car gate. Even if you don't fancy skiing or snowboarding, you can still experience great views of the mountains and Tehran from the top.
Explore a little further north and you'll reach the Caspian Sea coast, with its natural scenery, forests and woodlands in striking contrast to the city, only around four hours away by car or bus.

Cobra II The Inside Story of the Invasion And Occupation of Iraq (Hardcover)
|Author: Michael R./ Trainor Gordon
Learn more about Cobra II:
|From the Publisher:
The Inside Story of the Invasion and Occupation of Iraq
There have been many reports about the Iraq war and the vicissitudes of the American occupation, yet none heretofore has been informed by the inside story. Rendered fairly and documented impressively, it offers a galvanizing account of the strategy, the personalities, the actual battles, the diplomacy, the adversary, and the occupation.
COBRA II is stunning work of investigative journalism by Michael Gordon, the chief military correspondent of The New York Times, winner of the George Polk Award for Investigative Reporting in 1989 and the one and only correspondent embedded in Allied land command; and General Bernard E. Trainor, former military correspondent for The New York Times and current military analyst for NBC. Brimming with new and compromising disclosures, the book promises to be a singularly authoritative and comprehensive account of the planning and prosecution of the Iraq war.
Michael Gordon had unparallel access to top military brass and was in the war room with Tommy Franks, Donald Rumsfeld and the field generals who were key in the formulation and execution of the war strategy. He has interviewed an extraordinary range of officials, including Franks himself, Condoleezza Rice, Steve Hadley, Paul Wolfowitz, Marc Grossman (the third ranking State Department official), Jerry Bremer, General Meyers (Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff), as well as virtually every general, regimental commander and brigade commander. He has had access to classified military and diplomatic documents, military archives and internal after-action reports and oral histories not meant for public consumption.
About the Author:
This military history of the 2003 invasion of Iraq is a comprehensive account based on interviews with key players in Washington and Baghdad, along with access to documents and war reports on battles-in-progress, follow-up studies, and the author's long-term connections to officers and other soldiers, some now retired. Michael Gordon and Bernard Trainor recount in great detail the Pentagon planning and its coordination with the White House, as well on as key battles and information on the intelligence-gathering prior to and during the conflict, including new information about Saddam Hussein?s war plans. COBRA II is a generally accessible account for those interested in both the military and the historical aspects of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and for those interested in comparing the successful invasion and the troubled occupation that followed.
Customer Reviews of Cobra II
Great Book and not skewed to any side4/16/2006
This is a great book if you want to educate yourself in every aspect of the war in Iraq.

Kinda gives a plastic feel. This does not blend foundation well and leaves streaks.

I don't find its quality good enough to use for applying foundation with. Just so that I can get some use out of it, I do tend to use it for applying primer to my face from time to time.
Overall, I HIGHLY recommend passing this brush up.

Something which is good to have but def not a must have. I use it for my cream highlighter or concealor sometimes. Seldom used it for foundation application as the brush is too small its good when you want it to get into the broken cap of your nose and stuff like that. I will rather pay a higher price for a better brush. Packaging wise the handle is a little unstable like it might break off anytime (exaggerated) heard many people pointing out this con too. Overall, i will recommend to starter or to use it as a concealor brush instead :) SGD$3

This is CRAP, and the only reason that I said that I would buy this product again is because I use them for halloween costume makeup. They're cheap and inexpensive, and do wonders with the halloween cream makeups. I still have to blend out with a sponge afterwards, but either way, they're only good for that! Garbage. I'd rather buy a couple of gumballs with my $1.

You get what you pay for! This brush is inexpensive, and the quality reflects the price, in my opinion. I bought this brush on vacation when I forgot my usual MAC brush at home. It got the job done, but it's stiff and leaves stray brush hairs all over my face (the most irritating part). I have sensitive skin, and the bristles on this brush are just too harsh for everyday use.

I bought this because it was only a dollar. Like my other ELF brush, this one fell of the handle. This is the first foundation brush I bought and I didn't really like it. It sheds and makes foundation look streaky. It does not blend well and it doesn't really feel soft. I only like getting soft brushes.

This brush is great as a starter brush. It was my first foundation brush and dirt cheap. I do not recommend it for professional use, but it is great for people starting out who do not know whether they prefer to use a brush or their hands for foundation!

I haven't used many brands of foundation brushes, but, this one has been my favorite. The brush does not shed or fray, the metal piece has not broke away from the stick. I have owned this brush for a year. Amazing quality for $1.

I actually found this foundation to be quite nice. Since I like to pat my foundation on so that it doesn't look cakey, the flatness of the brush works best. I used to use an AVON foundation brush and it was much too thick. This is my favorite foundation brush by far and is amazing quality for its affordable price!

I saw all the negative reviews after I bought this and was so turned off that I didn't even give this brush a try! It was sitting in my drawer for 2 months but then one day I decided to give it a shot. And I love it! It works well and there was no streaking at all. I use Clinique Even Better makeup with it. This brush may not work well for a super thick foundation though...

The sub market is totally skewed by wow where a jaded player based tied in with ancient avatars, years of achievments etc. take wow out of the picture and the sub market is on its deathbed (until they sub price comes down to a competitive price)

I don't always play MMOs, but when I do, I play sandboxes
Originally posted by nariusseldon
red parts really tell the whole story that nariusseldon is trying to cover under a sensacionalistic thread title
sub based MMOs arent losing players. WoW is losing players
its evidenced in the way that 600k people were lost in WoW, and yet not even one of them apparently moved to F2Pgames.
many WoW players are NOT MMO players.
WoW is a social phenomenon. its a fad, it has always been since probably its 3rd month of existance. WoW is the facebook or the twitter of games. People play WoW not because they are interested in MMOs, hell, many of them probably arent even interested in WoW per se. But because they are interested in the social benefits of playing WoW with friends, co-workers, Schoolmates, roommates, bf/gf, son/daughter, etc etc etc.
all this article is saying is that apparently for a bunch of people, the boredom of playing WoW actually outweighed the social benefits they gained from playing it, and quit, not the game, but the GENRE ENTIRELY.
the fact that WoW is sub-based is annecdotical. That kind of people would have played it anyway. The long figth between F2P and P2P is alien to them, they wouldnt even care if trillions of better games were being given for free, or even that you got paid for playing them. F2P being an option, for better or worse, clearly wasnt the reason why they quitted wow. many of them probably dont even know or care that F2P actually exists.
all they know and care is that jimmy, timmy and johnnie are playing "that thing" and its "cool" so playing it "will make me cool too so I can talk with themk"...and after a while they drop off and go back to whetever they were doing, which certainly wasnt prying the market for the next F2P asian sensation that will last 6 months to 1 year before shutting down. probably timmy started getting interested in chicks and will draw the rest with him....
another thread full of half lies and non-truths from nariusseldon to prove (always without proving anything at all) that F2P > P2P
not surprising

Whales are the ones supporting F2P when they get wise to being fleeced which over a course of time will happen won't the main revenue of these F2P games dry up ? How long can this go on before the bubble bursts ?
Also I am wary of putting my faith in whales who seem to be in my book anyway absolute morons who spend money like that, I mean clearly if these are the people you are depending on for the future of the genre. I fear for us all.

Hmm. with all the gloom and doom about the death of MMO's subscriptions If find it strange that hundreds of thousands of players are preordering Final Fantasy XIV... a subscription based MMO.....
Not to mention WildStar and TESO recent subscription announcements...

Familiar pattern isn't it, big corporat investment, fear of change, try to maximise profit over innovation- 2013 and still pumping a payment model that was used 10 years ago. can you imagine steam or apple pushing for sub games?

in a certain way, the bubble bursted, but was inmediatly replaced with another bubble
or more accurately, the second bubble bursted the first, and took its place
historically, the first F2P MMOs worked under a fairly simple model
make a game for what amounted to be spare change. shitty engine, sloppy coding, tons of bugs, awful graphics, lame animations.
basically, make it CHEAP AS F..... then, proceed to tackle a predatory cash shop on it, while doing the bare MINIMUM to keep it running, no support whatsoever.
and they worked because of 2 reasons
1) because the competition was mostly P2P, so "HEY LOOK; FREE!!!" was a novelty bound to work
2) because the market was expanding faster than people realized the inherent evilness of the model.
imagine a snakes oil salesman that can only travel to the same 5 towns. after a while, everybody in that towns will know him and throw rocks at him on sight.
now imagine that new roads are being made constantly, and the same snake oil salesman can travel to more, and more, and more new towns full of people that know nothing of his broken morals...he doesnt need to rely on scamming people twice to make a profit....there are literally unlimited amounts of towns full of naive people waiting to be scammed.
this generated a long list of infamous publishers that basically got filthy rich operating in such a system. Aeria, GPotato, Webzen, Nexon, and many many more. This were publishers which could have portfolios as big as 20 games running at once, and not even all of them combined were worth a flying damn. they would keep throwing them into the market, waiting for one to make some impact and capture some whales, and that would be more than enough to make up for the other that were closing in the blink of an eye.
before that point, P2P games that failed were simply shutting down
and then, someone, somewhere, had a genius idea..."hey, what if I switch my quality P2P game to F2P as a hail mary?"
and of course, from then on, the older F2P games started having the snowballs chance in hell of competing with that...
thats why some of the older, most renowned F2P publishers started losing market share, money, and actually a few of themhad to merge to survive, or plainly shut down entirely. others, the most finantially strong, started competing with the new rules of the market, and started developing quality games for a change.
of course, there are still certain regions of the planet, like india or china, where P2P markets cannot simply work due to a disproportionate difference of average renta per capita compared to the west, so F2P is still the only option available. some publishers still survive by clinging on to that markets by their fingernails, but are largely nonfactor in west anymore.
now, where is that second bubble I talked about at the start of this wall of text?
it lies in the fact that more and more quality games are turning F2P. actually some of them even start as F2P. and the market isnt growing exponentially anymore, actually its decreasing.
the old model cant apply here, because that games actully cost A LOT to be made. people dont want crap anymore, and wont stand crap either. they have been fed to expect better, they want good games, with decent support, and they want them free.
and soon, a bunch of devs are gonna see how they spend a AAA budget just to give their games for free, and then that games wont catch barely any attention from the whales. where in a P2P market they would have gotten some money out of the boxes and subs for a while,in a F2P game, chances are they will lose BOTH the money from developing an expensive game, and the ongoing costs associated from running the game for the 80% that doesnt pay a dime, failing to secure revenue from the 19% that do pay, and the 1% that pay LARGE.
and that devs are gonna fail
and go bankrupt. REALLY bankrupt
the F2P model is inherently self-cannibalizing and non-sustainable long term. The more games are released into the market as F2P, the faster its reaching critical mass. people dont feel any commitment towars any game because they havent paid a dime for it. they are free to bounce from one to another at the drop of a hat. and they do
devs racing each others releasing better and better games and giving them more and more free, to meet the demands of the public, are acttually killing each other's long term success in the search for the quick buck, which is what the F2P model has always been about.

How many times can you repeat the same damn thing over and over again disrupting thread after thread and not get the boot? I've known members who were perma banned for much less.

But that is not the point.
Of course i care .. i care about having fun in the forum. Otherwise, why would i spend even ONE minute? I just don't care about MMOs as much as you think. They are just games to me.

he comes off as the average f2p player that bounces endlessly from f2p game to f2p game,always optimistic that this time, THIS TIME, he will find one that piques his interest enough time to finish his sandwich...oh no, not this one either...but the next, OH THE NEXT, THAT WILL BE THE ONE IM SURE....
I think your theory that he's being paid to make lip service for the model holds a few more gallons of water than I previously thought...

Four Movie Franchises That Would Make Great TV Shows
by Bob Sassone, posted May 4th 2010 1:04PM
A couple of weeks ago I proposed a TV series based on the James Bond character. That got me thinking about other movie franchises that might make for good TV shows. There have been a lot of TV shows and miniseries based on movie franchises, including 'Sherlock Holmes,' 'Planet of the Apes,' 'Terminator,' and even 'Star Wars: The Clone Wars' if you want to include animated shows. Here are four movie franchises that haven't been TV shows yet but I think they really could be.
1. 'The Bourne Identity.' Of course, 'The Bourne Identity' was a TV miniseries before it was a hit film series, but that was a while ago. I can picture a series based on the Jason Bourne character, especially with the success of shows like '24.' It could work two ways: have Bourne have amnesia and have him trying to figure out who he is and who is trying to kill him (a la 'Coronet Blue,' a show I'm sure inspired Robert Ludlum), or maybe have him already know who he is and have him in hiding, having to fight the bad guys trying to kill him every week.
Possible lead: Ben McKenzie, Wentworth Miller, Jared Padalecki

The Best Conceptual Framework for Improving...

The New Frontline of Infectious Disease...
How, and Where, Robots Have Replaced...
Abbott is paying Galapagos $150 million up front as part of a global collaboration to develop the latter's oral JAK1 inhibitor inflammatory diseases candidate GLPG0634, which is undergoing Phase II evaluation as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis. Galapagos will complete Phase II trials with the candidate, and says it expects to deliver a complete Phase II package for the RA indication to Abbott in 2014. Under terms of the agreement, if the trials have met prespecified criteria Abbot will pay another $200 million to take over the program and continue developing and manufacturing GLPG0634 through Phase III development and commercialization worldwide.
Galapagos could earn another $1 billion in development, regulatory, commercial, and sales-based milestones, plus double-digit sales royalties. The firm retains co-promotion rights to GLPG0634 in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.
The deal with Abbott will enable Galapagos to progress other candidates into the clinic, Onno van de Stolpe, CEO, comments. "We view Abbott to be the best partner possible to deliver a complete clinical program and a powerful market introduction...With GLPG0634 we have proven that we can deliver from target to clinical proof of concept, and we aim to do the same on many novel target programs in our pipeline.
GLPG0634 is a JAK1-specific inhibitor. In November Galapagos reported data from a Phase II proof-of-concept trial evaluating the drug in 36 patients with active RA who weren't adequately responding to therapy with methotrexate. The results showed that 83% of patients receiving GLPG0634 reached the ACR20 score, and half went into either disease remission or low disease activity. Treatment using GLPG0634 also wasn't associated with increases in LDL/cholesterol or anemia.

- Gerry Hamilton, ESPN Staff Writer
The nation's top uncommitted cornerback, Trayvon Mullen, has more than 40 offers from many of the nation's top programs. On Thursday morning via Twitter, the No. 19 prospect in the ESPN 300 announced the five schools where he plans to make official visits, with a decision likely in January or on national signing day.

If you've read enough crime novels or seen enough action movies, the plot is all too familiar to you: an insider - acting to correct some slight or insult he or she received years ago - turns against an organization and inflicts significant damage. Sometimes the insider is on the side of the good guys, sometimes on the bad guys. This makes perfect sense. An insider knows exactly how an organization does things, what they consider valuable, and how they will ...

Doing business in Asia as a European bank is far from easy. Not only are investors increasingly concerned about counterparty risk, but the credibility of Europe's banking system has been shot at from a multitude of angles over the past few months. In addition, especially when it comes to competing on the index side, banks are up against independent providers known for their benchmark indexes.
Société Générale (SG) has managed to navigate this tough terrain through a commitment to what it does best: rules-based proprietary cross-asset indexes. "We've had to fight hard so that clients understand the SG strategy," says Julien Lascar, the bank's Hong Kong-based director of cross-asset solutions and head of distribution and equity solutions for Asia-Pacific. "The market is extremely challenging and we've been working hard to define strategies that bring performance to the client."
The bank caters to a diverse clientele in Japan, South Korea, China and Australia, across institutional money, private banks and high-net-worth, designing both flagship and custom indexes. In the past 12 months, SG has raised more than $3 billion across its various indexes. It was lauded as a leader in index innovation by one Melbourne-based institutional investor, which is now considering more of the bank's strategies.
The market is extremely challenging and we've been working hard to define strategies that deliver performance to clients
Priding itself on its ability to offer exposure to asset classes in new ways, SG decided to take volatility as an asset class a step further. "We had to compete with a lot of other index providers, so we needed to make a difference with this asset class," says Lascar. "At the time, everybody was playing pure beta."
Combining alpha and beta is at the heart of SG's play on volatility, however. Initially calculated in March 2011, the SGI Vinci ER Index aims to provide a hedge against falling equities by providing leveraged exposure to the implied volatility of the S&P 500. The beta component goes long Chicago Board Options Exchange Market Volatility Index (Vix) futures according to an optimised roll methodology, while the alpha strategy combines a long-short strategy: long the beta strategy and short the position on the standard roll strategy.
"The problem with volatility is the cost of maintaining the exposure," says Lascar. So the bank uses a smart future roll strategy, which, instead of always being exposed to short-term futures, which can be expensive, also allows exposure to long-term futures. The alpha strategy that is then built on top of this gives the index the potential to perform even when volatility is flat, he says
The index gives investors leveraged exposure to volatility by leveraging both positions of the alpha and beta strategies. "We rebalance the exposure between alpha and beta on a daily basis, based on a trend-following strategy that enhances or lowers the leverage in the index," says Lascar. An Australian institutional client took a $100 million exposure to the index, representing 7% of the client's portfolio at the time the trade was put in place.
A custom index developed last year for a Japanese life insurer that was seeking an investment strategy to offer as a life insurance product combined baskets of equity and bond indexes, a zero-coupon bond denominated in yen and a deposit. The index dynamically allocates between the different components according to a momentum indicator based on the trend of the equity component.
Over the past 12 months, the index has risen by roughly 7%, according to Antoine Broquereau, Hong Kong-based managing director and head of the Asia-Pacific cross structuring group at SG. Investors also benefit from a ratchet on specific products where the guarantee increases every time the index reaches a certain level, usually set at 5%. "This has been a big success in Japan, which is a savings market," says Broquereau.
Elsewhere, a bespoke index offering emerging markets exposure through both fixed income and equities was the directive from a client in Australia. "An Australian asset manager was looking to further its exposure to emerging markets, but not through a mutual fund or an exchange-traded fund vehicle," he says.
Structured as an index of indexes, it dynamically allocates between an emerging equities and a fixed-income index, using a risk-control mechanism as an overlay. The momentum strategy dynamically allocates between the underlying indexes, and both the volatility and the maximum exposure to the momentum strategy is pre-agreed with the investor. So far, SG has closed a deal on the custom index for just under $21 million, through the issuance of pure delta one certificates.
Even within the commodity sector, SG offers dynamic exposure through another of its flagship indexes. The SGI Smart Neutral Commodity Index is exposed to energy (60%), industrial metals (10%) and agriculture and livestock (30%), and is equally exposed to a roll-optimised long position and a roll-static short position in each commodity market. There is also a volatility target mechanism that aims to keep volatility close to 6%, and the index is up 1.02% in the year to date.

I don't post at mothering very often, I find it a great place for information. This time I haven't bothered to search, I'm googled out and just want to ask directly and hope someone can answer.
My son is now 5 years old and intact. We have never done much to his penis, followed the "leave it alone" approach. He's never had any problems. He has been mostly, (if not fully, not entirely sure since my first experience with intact penis, but the whole head is exposed now) retractable for almost a year I would say. We still just pull back as far as it will go and rinse in the bath. I have noticed that the tip of his penis is very sensitive or sore. I have noticed it for a while, but didn't think much of it honestly. Just chalked it up to being more sensitive, since I had read that it can be. He didn't seem to have any other issue to signal a problem, so I let it be.
We don't touch it a lot and like I said, I just don't know exactly what is normal vs not. Anyway, last night I was bathing him quickly and noticed that he wouldn't touch his exposed penis head at all. I tried to touch it and he was almost in tears because it hurt. Just the head, not any other part. He says only the head hurts when it's out. He says it doesn't hurt when it's inside (how he refers to retracted vs. not) and he says it doesn't hurt when he pees or at any other time. I checked on him again this afternoon out of curiosity, and all his answers are the same. I have always noticed that it's (the head) slightly purpleish in color, but assumed that was bloodflow? The edges of the foreskin are slightly red when he retracts, but he only complains of pain on the head, not the actual retraction or anything.
Like most boys he can hardly keep his hands off it, and I am just worried maybe there's an infection even though it's not quite presented as one. He also still wears a pull-up at night, and though stays dry about 1/2 the time I wonder if the urine is irritating the penis, even though the head is covered? I am going to call the doctor in the morning, but they likely won't be able to see him until Monday. Also, they were always supportive of the fact that he's intact, but I don't know exactly how truely knowledgeable they will be, yk? I'd like to be armed with some information of what it could be just in case, or maybe this is more normal than I think it should be and I don't need to take him?
Sorry so long, thanks for your help...
Mama to Sophia (9-12-03) Simeon (9-22-05) Alice (5-24-07) Luci (1-23-09) & Charlotte due May 16th!
It is normal for it to be extremely sensitive, and deep red or purple is a normal color. The penis glans is analogous to the clitoris glans, so you can use that sensation level and color as comparison.
The glans of the intact penis is comparable to the clitoris in sensitivity. So it can be a bit overwhelming for a little guy to have that part touched at all. One of the reasons for the rinse only rule.
Like pp said the normal color of the intact glans is a bright purple/red color since it is an internal organ. Circ cause the glans to dry out and become thicker skinned causing the pale coloration.

Thank you so much for the responses. I had sort of figured it was just normal, but had a second guess myself moment when my friend said her intact son has never seemed to experience this. I guess it just proves all boys are different and I should trust my mama instincts.
It's funny how much research and reading I did 5 years ago in making the arguments and decision not to circ, and now, after never having to think about it since then really, I just felt helpless. Like I suddenly doubted anything I once knew. You do not want to know what you find when you google "extremely sensitive uncirc penis" lol
Thanks for being here when I am not smart enough to follow my gut ;)

My oldest who is 8 recently had some soreness, and I think it was due to more retraction happening at that time. Plus, he had been showing my DH his "new trick" with pulling it back, so I think he went a little overboard with handling it (I know TMI). Anyway, we told him not to mess with it so much for a couple of days, and it felt better. No issues since then.
Ditto to what everyone said. The glans is supposed to be a deep purple or reddish color. Circ'ed mens' glans undergo keritinization after it is rubbed and exposed to the environment which leaves their glans a faded gray-ish color. I would guess that when he says that it "hurts," he may just not have the right vocabulary for the sensation that he is feeling which is probably very intense!

Quentin Tarantino has recorded a list of his top 20 favorite films which have been released over the last 17 years. What's so special about the last 17 years, or the year 1992? That was the year Tarantino became a filmmaker.
Films on Tarantino's list include Battle Royale, Anything Else, Audition, Blade, Boogie Nights, Dazed & Confused, Dogville, Fight Club, Fridays, The Host, The Insider, Joint Security Area, Lost In Translation, The Matrix, Memories of Murder, Police Story 3, Shaun of the Dead, Speed, Team America, and Unbreakable. It think it's interesting that Tarantino mentions that The Matrix sequels ruined the mythology, enough to push the first film off the top of his list. Watch the full list after the jump, complete with commentary from Tarantino himself .

And here I thought the Blade franchise was dead in the water after Blade Trinity's abysmal failure. Stephen Dorff, who played the villain Deacon Frost in the first film, mentioned to the Sunday Mail last year that a prequel trilogy spearheaded by Blade director Stephen Norrington was in the works:
It will be a prequel to the Blade movies, Deacon's story. It's a new trilogy the director has created. It will be cool. We hope to shoot the first film next year. Frost is a character I have never been able to shake.
Without further confirmation from Norrington, we've pretty much treated the news as rumor, but today he admitted to Comics2Film that a prequel film is indeed in the works (as soon as he finishes his Crow reboot). Norrington mentions that the project isn't exactly like Dorff described, but it's close. He goes on to say that it "has evolved into a very interesting story," and that "the linkage to Blade is still big in the equation."

In the meantime I suppose I should follow your lead and pull these forks apart. I want to shorten them to stock beemer length like you have done and just get to know their innards.
What I am really curious about is re-springing and re-valving these things- how to figure out what to do. I've been given a contact to do this work, but I would love to be able to figure it out so I can do it myself- no, not for the personal satisfaction, but for the money!
I look forward to some very detailed discussions and experiments with this (when the time comes) on your Unholly thread as we each start to work with these forks.

Given the stupid prices of these things new, let alone what we pay for them if we buy them through the 'proper places' in Australia that wouldn't have surprised me. Googling the part number (58413014000) however, shows it can now be bought here online for $150, so the description was BS.
It came to me in it's original brembo box with the original literature- and only cost me $10.50, so I reckon it was still a good buy
Just for interest (if anyone interested in this sort of thing actually reads this)
Having googled this part number I have, I followed a few discussions and I think I may have found what
be the actual stock part that might have done the job (ie fitting a 320mm rotor and two pot brembo caliper to a set of WP extreme forks)
Part number 58313049000
As visable in this parts fiche
The main reason it might not work is (I believe) if the fork lower mount for the caliper bracket is different to the one I have (some of my reading indicated this might be the case?).
I'll keep an eye out for the 'real' part, if I can get one cheap, just to neaten things up a bit, but in the mean time my double bracket doodad will have to do. Maybe it will warm on me in the mean time

Mets and Twins reportedly front-runners for Ted Lilly
Jul 16, 2010, 3:45 PM EDT
Now that Cliff Lee is off the market contending teams in need of rotation help are turning their attention to pitchers like Ted Lilly.
He's an impending free agent earning $12 million in the final season of a four-year, $40 million deal and Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reports that Lilly "met with general manager Jim Hendry to discuss his future before Thursday night's game with the Phillies."
Hendry declined to comment about the meeting, while Lilly simply told Sullivan: "I don't know if I have the right to discuss that. Write whatever you want."
And so he did. Sullivan notes that "Hendry would like to keep Lilly, but he doesn't know if the Cubs can meet his free agent demands in November so he has to consider getting something in return." He also adds that the Mets and Twins are the most likely suitors for Lilly, which matches an earlier report from Tom Pelissero of 1500ESPN.com in Minnesota.
While certainly not in Lee's stratosphere, Lilly is 47-34 with a 3.75 ERA in 110 starts for the Cubs, including a 4.08 ERA in 97 innings this year. However, he finished the first half with back-to-back clunkers and because he'll likely be a Type A free agent this offseason the Cubs can choose to simply take a pair of compensatory draft picks for letting him walk if they aren't satisfied with any of the trade packages being offered.

So… sounds familiar, right? This had to be the easiest news bite to write– probably didn't have to do much, just change LEE to LILLY.

The Cubs are undefeated since the all-star break and World Series bound. We're not sellers any more.
