Market Soars Following Latest "China Bails Out Europe" Rumor: Expected Rumor Half Life - 15 Minutes
Update 2: Yes, the FT story that cites unidentified Italian officials, does exist. Link is here
Update: "Further negotiations are likely to take place soon, FT says, citing unidentified Italian officials". Ok seriously, enough with this bullshit, please.
How many times can the idiotic market keep falling for the same old rumor over and over and over again? Yes, for those wondering what caused this epic surge in stocks on massive volume look no further than the following FT headline which is precisely the same as what we have seen every single other "Chinese white knight" time, namely that Italy is in talks with China Investment to buy bonds, assets (it also makes it perfectly clear who the real "IMF" is). That said, this is at least the 4th time that China has "bailed out" Europe in 2011. We give this latest rumor a 15 minute half life.
Idiot robot and momo chaser update, 14 minutes later:

It's insanely funny; the whacky rumors floated by the hour to try and allow those trapped long a better exit point.
At this time, human rumor spreading is actually screwing with the algo-bots.
I know pork bellies have spiked this year, but that's still no reason for China to buy up all the PIGs...
Sell the rerack BTFR reramp...or something like that. Or buy Floating on Air if you are a P. Costa fan.
Of course, the BlowHorn [CNBC] is milking the rumor for all it [isn't] worth. Cue Bill "I should have stayed on leave" Giffith and Maria "I have the sexiest hair on Earth" Bartiromo.
- 09-12 15:03: **UPDATE** The Financial Times has NOT run an article in regards to China investment buying Itsalian bonds & assets
Nice!!! LMAO!!! Good job, regulators!
Ponzi-Fried markets, bitchez!!!!!
WTF? So where did the BS come from? Or is it reverse BS?
"We did not just say Bernanke was bailing out BAC"
Tomorrow, Myanmar (formerly Burma) tenders full buyout of BAC at 60% existing share premium.
CNBC needs one of those flashy-things from Men in Black....'you heard no rumor from us, these are not the rumors youre looking for'...
Apparently markets were floating on a bit higher air there for a minute based upon another insane rumor....hmmm must be time to pull out QE4 rumors!
How do we get this on ZeroHedge? Did Tomo Rape The Market - Part Deux
How do we get this on ZeroHedge?
Did Tomo Rape The Market - Part Deux
You just did. I read it. A fine piece of reporting.
That last blue line looks like it's got some reach on it. Must be a baller.
Sell the peak!
And BTFD a few minutes before the 5th Chinese bailout.
what's "BTDF"?
Buy the Fuckin Dip
silver almost below 40, another two bucks down and im backin' up the truck.
pre-65 dimes
this is looking almost as good as a redheaded girl.
In Euroland, Silver is still higher than last week :)
ANROYD - will this make it to Websters as a new verb - any time soon? ;-)
Paid back any debts as of today, just in case for more rumors EUR will be replaced in Germany </FT>
as the question was "What's BTDF" I think the correct answer is ......
Buy The Dipping Fuck.
winner of the Kim @Kantor Kontest
I stand corrected :)
Buy the Dicking Fuck.
"BTDF" = Buy the Dow Fast
and cue the daily melt up on hopium
which one of you bitchez junked my hopium? Seen the dow lately?
I junked you because you bitched about getting a bitchez junk ! ;)
That just proves how much conviction the Bears have about the facts - NONE!
Change "facts" with "central planner's desire to sacrifice their middle class" and you are 100% correct.
OT, but any theories about why gold spot and the DOW seem correlated?
Screaming Yellow Zonkers
that brings back memories
Put some money on those "facts" of yours...and if you go long I will LMAO.
Which Bears? The silver bears? Yogi? Smokey?
This is all inflationary:
The misallocation of capital that is now required just to sustain this system means that future (real) growth prospects become a more and more distant prospect. This is creating a vicious cycle which, assuming we wont take our deflationary medicine, job losses and bankruptcies, will lead to horrific inflation.
Please stop this. Missallocation can only be fixed with misallocation. Two wrongs do make a right.
it's pretty clear they've chose this strategy and are sticking with it. Combine that with a profound growth collapse from Peak Oil and you have one ugly chapter.
I can sell you some Greek 1 Year debt.
I'll give you a 20% discount.
I need the cash because I want to put my money into Bank of America.
Fourth time the charm? As if China bailing out the Western world is bullish... LOL...
It is scary how similar this is to 2008. Bank CEOs on CNBC. Bullshit bailout rumors flying around. Variations of "we're well capitalized".
We just need Cramer to come on and tell his 22 viewers that the PIIGS+France+UK are well capitalized and "fine."
per Donald Sutherland in the Italian Job (with Fight Club fav Edward Norton as the bad guy), "fine" = (iirc) Fucked up, Insecure, Nervous and Emotional.
pretty well describes it.
Credit didtn move - Main stayed at wides, along with Xover (slightyl tighter b/o) so yes, not lasting at all.
Correct, my brotha from anotha motha, the ramp already died LOL.
But, now we have the daily 3:30 ramp. Shorts taking profits?
Yeah, that afternoon, 100 pt., half hour levitation of the Dow on no news and zero volume just flipped back over too.
This February 6th forecast graph of DJIA was not so bad as well:
As was the current gold bubble forecast graph made on May 4th:
It of course includes all manipulations by central banks , governments, banks, Gadaffi etc etc etc
So you're saying you are still drawing random lines off the sides of charts that don't even come CLOSE to what happens.
China will struggle just to bail out China.
Well that's just silly right there.
all they have to do is create 5,000,000 jobs a year and they'll be just fine.
... and the sheeple follow stupidly the lemmings into the abyss
15 mins is pretty optimistic...
China buys the Vatican
Is there any left in IT? Maybe they want some Ravioli, too.
The Chinese are still pissed that the It. stole their spaghetti!!
They do have a long historical memory, those Chinese.
You know how the Mongols defeated the Great Wall?
They bribed some gate guards.
Except THIS time central banks, private investors, and entire countries are buying gold (and silver)...
***Breaking News***
North Korea pledges full support for European Union; Global Markets Soar.
Kim pulls out his wallet and says We gotcha covered!!
better than a cleansing breath
very nice
I thought it was Kim. Well, let the Chinese have it, if they can afford it.
Greece Govt Bond 1Year Yield (GGGB1YR:IND)
117.211 +19.6%
Greece Govt Bond 10 Year Acting as Benchmark (GGGB10YR:IND)
23.54 +14.5%
Chinese are far for being able to bail out all the eurozone
Watch out the peak today was 139 on 1yr
Lend one, get two!
Market at critical point and the only ammo they have left is fake rumours
But why would FT write something if it weren't true? Poor confuzzled little sheep.
Must be true - read it on the interwebz!
That half life was at LEAST 17 or 18 minutes.
10 minutes, back to -160
This means one thing. Italy is in worse shape than most thought if the chinese vultures are scooping up claims on assets.
Quick bring out the QE3 carrot again, this one's loosing steam!
QE3 carrot non-functional, bring out the QE-4 carrot.
If QE is the market motivational Carrot, what is the stick?
Low interest rates?
Crazy fiscal policy?
artificially low interest rates are a carrot on a whip
Fantastic joke.
the stick is what the carrot is hanging from in front of the jackass(s)
China has had negative manufacturing output for two months in a row. Anyone think they can legitamately keep propping-up the West and Europe? This will end really, really badly. I heard the Germans are building Panzers again......
Yeah, the Saudis bought so many we ran out of some tanks. No way to get to Paris w/o 'em. </sarc>
Negative? So, stuff disappeared? Wierd.
Now daily carrot and sticks in front of markets 'someone bailed out someone' and 'there was a QE3 rumor heard'....idiotic.
idiotic or orwellian. Is there a market anymore?
Hah who ever bought in here will be tostitos by tomorrow :)))!
From The National Inquirer:
"Global Financial Meltdown Averted - Aliens in Gold Spaceship buy all the Toxic Assets in the World"
10 years Later:
"Alien Overlords back for More Human Harvesting..."
China and Italy have alot in common ... Mussolini and Mao go way back.
Anyone remember Charlie Gasbag-orino with his "rumors" while the market was in free-fall back in '08?...
Maybe now the CNBC folks have some vestige of integrity.... naw....but it was a nice thought.
Charlie 'Imma Gonna Break-A Your Face' Gasbagrino is the Main Mook of C(lown)NBC.
Didn't he resurface at Fox? Maybe Chuckles can team up with Geraldo to give us a 1-2 punch of investigative financial journalism.
As I read your comment I look up and CNBC is reporting "China is in talks with Italy...."
Like I said... it was a nice thought.
I do notice that Fox Business is never mentioned here....
ya funny, they are quoting bloomberg quoting FT who says they didn't run anything, and there is no story on Bloomberg either...
just proves that CNBC can't find their own ass with both hands
Re: How many times can the idiotic market keep falling for the same old rumor over and over and over again?
Last I checked "the markets" were (mostly carbon-based) people. So....
How many times are people going to believe this:
"Do you love me?" "Was I good?"
The world runs on duplicity and self-delusion. The scam will run until... it doesn't.
Actually the markets have become algo machines trying to get nano-second jumps on each other by instantly dissecting and interpreting these sort of press releases. Thus the wild gyrations and half-life predictions of how long the rumor will be effective. Human's might actually take a moment to review and call bullshit.
China will bailout Europe. This time really, cause they have interest in it and tons of dollars too. Gold and silver are down, stocks not crashed. No Armageddon apparently. I look forward, passing by this sleepy Fall. Merry Christmas. Boring world we live in.
I was going to provide a substantive rebuttal to your drivel, but have decided you're not worthy, so I leave you with:
Yes, RLY. Believe me, Armageddons are a thing of the past. China and Italy are having talks. End of the Drama in sight. Merry Christmas and first a good weekend.
You should be buying all the Italian bonds you can, two-fisted leverage style.
Run along and BTFD.
maybe he hopes to be invited to the bunga bunga party that they will thro the chinese in Sardinia. He is soooo bored; it will do him good over xmas.
I am not a professional investor and it amazes me watching the markets. Reading this site has taught me alot. But watching the see saw on the stock market today and the swings based on rumors actually scares me. This is crazy, whatever happened to rational moves based on sound fundamentals.
I may not do this for a job but I can crunch numbers and read fricking charts and I do have a good friend that is an investment person and even he says this is all nuts.
I've been doing pretty well just doing ATM/NTM covered calls on stocks and ETF's that trade weekly, I generally only trade stuff with market caps over $10 bln. Fuck having conviction on anything.
Huge options bought. Maybe before the story. Someone made a ton of money.
Now, you have those that bought into the pump Selling into the Dump.
I would bet that they market goes lower that it was before the Rumor as those who bought into the HOPE will Sell into the Sell off when they realize it is just a rumor to get the market up.
Also, interesting that the S&P was below the 1,140 level which is a key level that would mean the Market was going to go lower.
Lots of stocks trading right at their 50 day moving average. Trying to hold them above that level. If it breaks the Market will go down.
FT should be shut down and prosecuted....this type of blatant gangsterism wouldnt even have been allowed in the USSR.
But it makes me wonder...you say 'someone made a ton on this'...really who took money from who? Someone was dumb enough to buy the top of the rumor big time and someone else was there to sell it?
So who are all these ultra rich morons who keep getting fleeced daily?
hey, wfs!
nice comment! you sound well
nice harvest moonrise last night, huh?
R2K = 666. again.
the Big Dipper? Wild Mouse? PPT Corkscrew?
take care sister! see ya!
Italy has one great IR department. LOL. Nice pump followed by another dump.
best move would be for china to buy haiti, move countless operations there, people more than happy to work, and best of all, breathe down the US necks!
What is amazing is that just when the Market is breaking down they do a massive short squeeze. Just like last Monday. Like there really are enough shorts to bail out all of the Institutions and Banks from their Millions of shares.
This entire European thing has been artifically engineered to entice China to fall into the traps set up by the Anglo-Saxon banking cartel. If ChiComs fails to play their assigned role, we can reasonably expect that the regime change in Beijing is the next thing to take place. However, what if ChiComs only play half of the role assigned?
nice headline Tyler. Just in case people don't know, the entire china was at sleep when the rumor came out.
Except for that 1 guy at the 'Dept of Bailout Rumors' in China.
I wonder if that would be the Chinese version of, "Hey, y'all, watch this!"
"Me Like" just used "the ramp" to roll some options into Oct Exp Yummmyyyyy:)))) and took some profits right there eh!
I love those Chineese. They make a fine Macbook pro. I love MBPs so much, I own two. Ayyy mates , Shes a fine machine. A fine machine
Market is mark-it. It's a number they come up with to end the day with. Could be up, could be down. Mark-it. The only sure thing is that they'll reach it. And you'll never know why. 'Cause you ain't in the club. (Thanks, George).
The internet is now an amplifier of idiocy. Research has been replaced with rumor. The wisdom of crowds has been replaced with the buffoonery of crowds. A naive collection of children, believing anything, knowing nothing.
And on that note, Warren Buffett was struck with the urge to buy a couple billion shares of some morbidly toxic banking ticker symbol after farting bubbles in the tub.
Exactly! And they have the balls to say places like ZH 'start rumors'? No...places like ZH point out these rumor mongering assholes who should be prosecuted!
FT now runs a headline 'You Did Not See Us Post a Bailout Rumor'....insane.
Actually I wonder how much FT got paid to run that.
the computers are sure working hard today from market open to close to keep this thing from crashing...
And why, if the Bearded Clam is about to deliver them a bunch of free trillions in a few days? Something tells me thats definitely not going to happen, and we're looking at an epic faceplant real soon.
Many are trying to unwind their Weelky Options from last week. The Greece news is screwing them up.
Obviously thay are constanty trying to chart paint some "Nipple Bottoms" on the indexes and certain foreign currencies.
And of course, the Monster-swilling junior traders are already front-running the turn by HeatMapping the chip sector, since the semiconductors "always lead" according to Maria Bartiromo and Bob Pisani. ALTR, INTC, SNDK have been green all day.
Things never change
Did anyone see the actual FT story? All I saw was a Ransquawk headline citing the FT, then an "update" saying the FT did not run any such article, then another Ransquawk "update"/"market talk" saying the FT retracted the story, citing b4thestreet.com. Weirdness
And this would differ from every day over the last 2 years, how?

I lately selected up the publication in a neighborhood present store after being enticed by the title as well as cover fine art– my spouse as well as I are large followers of England and also quint English towns in certain. To my shock and also pleasure, I located the tale to be quite well developed, as well as the publication very well created. I likewise liked the advancement of the 2 lead personalities, Vince and also Bertie, as the tale as well as quest proceeded.
I am component English and also sight myself as rather of an Anglophile, so their trip tossed the English nation side as well as Vince's disapproval of all belongings English with the equivalent sight of Bertie, that was birthed and also reproduced waffle maker reviews there was fascinating. Their search for a particular Church, in an unidentified town, with Vince and also Bertie each having a various schedule unidentified to the opposite kept the tale intriguing and also vibrant. There were so lots of parallels to my very own life, so much psychological dramatization and also in away spiritual development and also development with this tale entailing the major personalities of Vince and also Bertie … it touched my heart in so lots of locations.
Well composed, and also a distinctly great thread, The Last English Town is informed from the factor of sight of Vince, which has actually come over from the States to satisfy his English-born partner's last desires to be hidden in an English town that looks like the one in a paint she has actually constantly valued. Disliking England, its miter saw reviews and also many of its folks, Vince gets started on a trip with his coz Bertie that integrates him to the nation as well as its food, while discovering a great deal even more compared to he anticipated around himself as well as his very own previous.
I really considerably appreciated this tale that took me with historic WWII components of England with Vince, an avowed best gas grills Anglophobe, as well as Bertie, an Englishman to the core. The tale line was very easy to comply with, with satisfying personality advancement.
The American, Vince, dislikes all belongings English, as well as the Englishman, Bertie, is the ultimate Englishman. They laid out in a brought back Morris Minor to locate a church in an unamed town where sewing machine reviews Bertie and also Vince's other half vacationed as kids. Personalities and also story spins are not foreseeable; this is a story to delight in.
Generally would not have actually read this kind of publication, however completely appreciated it. I was kindlied with the advancement of Vince and also his connection with Bertie. A lot of shocks in the tale to keep you interested and also not quite foreseeable.
It is a town I wish to see.
As the blerb at the end states 'ideally the very first in a lengthy line of bestsellers' I anticipate James' following publication.
A Thousand Steps Home [Kindle Edition]
From the minute I grabbed Elle Bor's unique, A Thousand Tips Residence, I have actually taken the trip of my life.
It is really tough to place it down, for also a 2nd, and also when I'm not reviewing it, I'm still in the middle of this remarkable quest
She takes you on the most fantastic extent of feelings; unhappiness, temper, hope, and also misery. You acquire to understand, and also comprehend, exactly what in her life has actually attracted her to this trip of all trips.
Hold on, acquire all set for the most remarkable encounter as well as trip you will certainly ever before take.
I discovered myself not really wanting to place the publication down due to the fact that I had so much enjoyable on this psychological roller rollercoaster of a story, and also could not wait to discover out "that dun it". Believe Netflix however in table saw reviews publication type. You acquired all the categories in one publication and also it's great to review anytime as well as anywhere however ideally with cozy pyjamas, unclear sandals, a pack of dual stuft Oreos, a coffee cup of your favored tea as well as a pet dog animal (ideally a canine yet I will not evaluate if it was a gecko or boa constrictor) by your side.
I would certainly if I might offer this 6 superstars. If Amazon.com could merely acquire it directly, I would certainly offer it a hundred bread machine reviews. I suggest this publication to every person … well … kids could need parental direction as well as a dictionary handy as a result of the "large" words that Elle utilized.
Obtain your duplicate now or lose out on an amazing item of literary record
Unanswered inquiries throughout this publication caught my focus. After reviewing this publication I need to concur that the rifle scope reviews suits it flawlessly. I am looking onward to maybe an additional publication where Ben and also Ruby go across courses once more.
Stone Cold (The Alex Stone Thriller Series Book 2)
I am absolutely not checking out any sort of even more Joel Goldman publications. My household, close friends, and also I do not talk in those terms, as well as locate it extremely offending; in the genuine globe of dehumidifier reviews, I'm certain the language in Goldman's publications is entirely exactly how they talk. Any type of that do not acquire transformed off from a story with such language will certainly discover this publication fascinating, I presume.
She does not ask her customers if they are innocent, she merely protects them. When the male which indicated in the best clothes dryer instance is located dead with all his family members butchered, also, she is beveraged.
The writer sent me a duplicate of his ebook for evaluation (thank you). It has been released as well as you could purchase a duplicate on Amazon.com now.
I can not envision just what publication 2 will certainly be around best game camera. You could run for high ground however the wave simply keeps coming. There are times the scales of justice aren't also in the area.
You will not be burnt out, in some circumstances you will certainly be surprised, and also it will certainly make you assume incorrect versus around best. There are times points are grey, white or not black.
In his most current lawful mystery, Joel Goldman offers us a brand-new challenging, clever, credible hero to appreciate, and also brings back some aged pals from his Lou Mason collection that his dedicated followers have actually missed out on given that transforming the last web page of Last Judgment. If you have actually never ever checked out Goldman, placed Rock Cold at the leading of your book listing.
The kind of publication you check out and also immediately neglect concerning it the 2nd you're done. If you review alot of mysteries and also secrets after that you review this exact same publication ONE HUNDRED times previously.
This publication was Not terrific yet oKAY. They are constantly embracing, obtaining psychological, and so on. I discovered it a little bit tiring.
The plot is also OK and it explores some ethics questions that have been explored many times before.
I completely delighted in Joel Goldman's newest publication. Goldman's publications not simply offer you an excellent puzzle yet likewise discover the expert as well as individual issues that regulation enforcement as well as lawful specialists battle with.

Volunteer Activities
Volunteer work in Bordeaux
Julia Angeles (Middlebury College)
Academic Year 2013-14
This year, I volunteered once a week for three hours with the Bordeaux chapter of the Blouses Roses, a non-profit organization named after their volunteers, men and women in magenta smocks who work to "provide smiles" to hospital patients and retirement home residents. Every Thursday morning, three Blouses Roses and I did arts and crafts with outpatients and their families at Bordeaux's children's hospital, as well as decorated the waiting room on our floor. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, both linguistically and culturally. I'm not the most artistically inclined myself, but the crafts were easy to learn with the help of the Blouses. Indeed, the women on my team were all extremely friendly and patient—and all spoke an impeccable French, which pushed me to do the same. Finally, it was rewarding to see the smiles on the kids' faces as they finished a project, and to be able to help them take their minds off their reasons for being at the hospital that day, if only for a moment. I would definitely recommend this experience!
Volunteer work in Paris
This year, a representative of the Centre du Volontariat de Paris came to the Madeleine Center to present the various volunteer opportunities that are available in Paris. This center, which has offices in different neighborhoods in Paris, helps individuals choose the activity that best fits the person's tastes and capabilities.
Following a first presentation, to which all of our students came, four Middlebury students were interviewed. Two of our students volunteered as English tutors. Here is what they said about their experiences:
"I would recommend this opportunity to anyone looking to exercise independence in tutoring. The students I met were curious and enthusiastic about learning. There were at most three who needed help with their English homework each week, which gave me the chance to get to know each of them. For me, this was a way of practicing my spoken French with younger people, and helped familiarize me with informal language and the French education system. I found it particularly interesting to address students' fascination-horror vis-à-vis American culture (especially after they'd seen "Bowling for Columbine"), given my position as a non-American studying in the U.S."
"In this case I was to help 6th and 7th graders with their homework: 'soutien scolaire.' Mostly it involved keeping the kids in their seats and doing their work. This work was the most fulfilling to me because it gave me the opportunity to see another side of Paris and to get to know these kids as well as to help them learn to study and hopefully have an impact on their lives. Working with the other volunteers was also a good experience to learn from them. Laure François, the head of the program, was also great to work with."
Teaching Assistantships
Many of our students, both graduates and undergraduates, get involved in teaching assistantships (in English) in Paris écoles maternelle, primaires, collèges et lycées. The students in general enjoy their experience of "English Assistants" in elementary, and secondary schools. Some of them even become friends with their professors and therefore establish personal contacts outside the school.
Evaluations from former students
"My stage bénévole in the BAC +1 / +2 class of Mme. Hartmann was an enjoyable experience. Each week, I facilitated a discussion section in English, often with the help of another Middlebury student. Our discussions were intended to revolve around a news article in English chosen by us, the instructors, but frequently our discussions dealt with a variety of other topics (life in the United States, life in the home countries of the students, music, movies, etc.). Several times we arranged activities outside of class, which further encouraged the students to be open with us."
"My volunteer experience with Mrs. Hartman and her students is well-worth the 2 hours a week of my time here in France. It is a group of students who are preparing for tests to enter the universities and "grandes écoles" and they spend some time each week learning English grammar. When I arrive, the students often offer me coffee and biscuits and we talk during this break in between classes. Each student presents a report on an article in English and I also bring an article in English for them to read. I help them with their English pronunciation. However, I always seem to learn new French vocabulary myself each time I come when we translate between the languages in order to clarify ideas in the articles we read. It is an enriching experience for everybody because they can understand an American's perspective on current events while I have the opportunity to understand their French perspective on the same topic."

Healthy Origins, Krill Oil, 500 mg, 6 Softgels
By Healthy Origins85 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Feb 2017
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.07 lbs (0.03 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Healthy Origins Krill Oil is extracted from the Euphausia superba species of krill found in the Antarctic waters of the southern ocean. Euphausia superba, with a biomass of over 500,000,000 tons, is one of the most abundant life forms on the planet. Since the 19th century, krill has been harvested as a food source for humans and animals, but only in more recent times has it been harvested to extract the oils contained with the krill. These oils contain substantial levels of Omega 3's, Phospholipids and Astaxanthin.
Suggested Use
As a dietary supplement for adults, take two (2) softgels twice daily with your first meal, or as directed by a physician.
Other Ingredients
Gelatin, glycerin, purified water, natural vanilla. Enteric coating consists of ethyl cellulose, sodium alginate, ammonium hydroxide, medium chain triglycerides, oleic acid, stearic acid.
Contains: Shellfish (krill).
No peanuts/tree nuts, fish, gluten, yeast, eggs, milk, wheat or soy.
If you have a seafood allergy, coagulopathy, or are taking anti-coagulant or other medication, please consult a physician before using this product.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Generally, krill oil is a great product: it has higher concentrations of eicosapentaenoic polyunsaturated fatty acid and astaxanthin, a keto-carotenoid and powerful antioxidant, than fish oil and, as a result of this, is more effective in treating heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, arthritis, osteoporosis, neurodegenerative conditions, Alzheimer's disease, attention disorders, cystic fibrosis, stress, anxiety and depression. It boosts the immune system, helps stabilize blood sugar and regulate insulin levels, prevents blood sugar spikes, normalizes blood pressure, lowers triglycerides and LDL or "bad" cholesterol levels while increasing HDL or "good" cholesterol, supports the liver function, protects against strokes, atherosclerosis and peripheral arterial disease, reduces inflammation, helps maintain healthy joints, bones and teeth, relives stress, and even reduces the risk of cancer. But this krill oil is not the type of krill oil I would buy. It contains ethyl cellulose, sodium alginate, ammonium hydroxide, and stearic acid. Ethyl cellulose is a binder and viscosity increasing agent suspected to be a human toxicant and allergen. Ammonium hydroxide is a denaturant and pH-adjuster known to be a persistent and bioaccu mulative human toxicant, allergen, skin irritant and carcinogen. Sodium alginate is a thickener and flavor enhancer which may potentially lead to hypertension, calcium deficiency, and heart disease. Stearic acid is most likely to be animal derived (since it's not specified that it's plant derived) and may be neurotoxic and carcinogenic. Definitely not a supplement you would recommend.
I'm a big fan of NOW Foods DHA 500, it has 750mg of omega 3 per enteric coated fish oil gel. It has a wonderful effect on my chronic inflammation. This krill oil product didn't do anything for me. In those 3 days of that trial period, I started having pain again in my joints. So it's worthless, comparing to fish oil. visit my page for more reviews

text: Been around the area on a business trip and after a good 30 min drive this was the only restaurant open for lunch. Great lake view but nothing else. Food is nothing better than the average served in tourist traps you may find all over the country, prices not even cheap, service very very slow.

Maybe he changed something in the latest release - I don't know. The built-in ftp service doesn't handle well 'closing the connection from the remote client' (your PC). It is possible to overcome it by shutting down the whole network service.

I might add it sometime soon...
Thx as usual , no offense to gaia but i'm sticking to blackboxftp for the moment, although i ripped my games with gaia bfore, the ftp hanging is a little annoying.
As I posted earlier - the FTP "server" is a built-in application which we (devs) have no access to - no way to make it more stable or alter it in any way.
blackbox FTP is a completely independent ftp server application and is much better than any managers' built-in ftp (Gaia, multiMAN, rogero, obm, etc, bla-bla-bla)
ah, too bad you have no access to it to make it better no worries though, with all tools we get the job done hehe
have a good weekend man!
Gaia is great but I can't seem to get any games to install on my external usb hard drive even though the ps3 recognizes. If anyone has any tricks please let me know. I will keep researching and see how you are supposed to set it.
Gaia will give you two options if, you have your external hard drive connected. If the manager dose not give you any options on were to backup, the PS3 dose not recognize your external hard drive. If you are still having the same issue, try either a different PayLoad or a different manager.
Looking for a bit of help please as I cant seem to get any games to work at all. I have managed to install Gaia ok and when i run Gaia it finds the games on my external hard drive. When I select a game i want to run, ie Heavy rain, Gaia will quit and the ps3 main menu will open as its suppose to.
This is where things start to go a bit wrong though When i scroll up to app_home/ps3game, the name will change to Heavy Rain and it will play the intro video from the original game inserted, Uncharted. If i run the bit that now says Heavy Rain it will start loading up but boot into the original game uncharted. I can't seem to get it to run any game but the original. Anyone have any tips or ideas for me to fix this? I have tried searching but no luck so far
It's a ps3 phat on 3.41 with a ps3usbjailbreak dongle (Hermes v4b 3.41 (PSN updated+3.50 spoofing) payload.
Many thanks!
Nice to see you got your own little sticky now mate.
Hi, any ways to check the size of installed games from Gaia Manager? Thanks in advance.

We have stayed here twice. Good personnel; friendly, modest. Breakfast is not so big but normal. Very clear. Rooms are comfortable. Good location just near building of parlament. Peron street is not full of cars that`s why here`s very calm.
Neighborhood Profile
San Nicolas
Immersed in the sound of honking horns and the footsteps of busy office workers, the Microcentro area of San Nicolás is where visitors will encounter the true hustle and bustle of Buenos Aires, walking down streets lined with office buildings and banks. The financial district is well-known for its vibrant atmosphere and unstoppable rhythm during office hours. After dark, the hubbub migrates to Corrientes Ave., where theater lovers might start their evening at a play and end it in one of the many traditional pizzerias nearby. During the day, Corrientes is known for its many bookshops and classic cafés, which are located just minutes away from some famous landmarks, like the Obelisco, Avenida 9 de Julio, and the Teatro Colon.

- Our Denim Escape---Denim---The TOM TAILOR Denim clique celebrates in
their cool styles high above the city roofs.
Follow us on Facebook
Young Fashion for young personalities – 'TOM TAILOR Denim Female' is the collection for young women between the ages 15 and 25.
She is stylish, trendy, cool and sexy. Fashion for her is an attitude to life, a feeling and pure passion. This is also reflected in the 12 collections per year: inspired by the latest trends from the world's fashion capitals, these collections combine hip designs and colours, trendy washes and carefully selected details. The collections focus on denim and denim lifestyle products such as innovative sweaters, trousers and knitwear
as well as casual feminine jackets. The TOM TAILOR Denim brand was launched in 2007 and expresses an active and authentic lifestyle.
Our Denim Escape (Fall/Winter 2015)
Break out, breathe in, be free. The TOM TAILOR Denim clique are in a good mood and on their way to the closed down grounds of an old factory. They throw a party at the rooftop in between the deserted brick buildings - free from all constraints. The uncomplicated style of the girls and boys reflects this feeling of freedom. Following the layering trend, the looks enable casual combination possibilities, which have an especially unconventional effect due to the mix of materials. What still applies: In denim we trust. The girls break out of the relaxed denim look with ponchos featuring interesting patterns or vests with teddy fur. The boys, on the other hand, skillfully combine jeans in different washings with check shirts and denim jackets. The denim-on-denim trend is still one of the fashion highlights. Thanks to the additional bomber jackets, it has been newly interpreted and given a stylish upgrade.

Sea snot
|This article needs attention from an expert in Marine life or Oceans. The specific problem is: Terminological confusion, poorly referenced. (January 2014)
Sea snot or marine mucilage is a collection of mucus-like organic matter found in the sea. The substance is described as "jello-like sheets of disease-carrying mucus" that holds a strong presence in the Mediterranean Sea and has been spreading into farther-flung waters.[1] Sea snot forms when globs of marine snow coagulate into large globs that can span distances as large as 124 miles.[2] Sea snot is also produced by phytoplankton when they are stressed.[3] A recent increase in the amount of sea snot in the Mediterranean and other seas may be the result of climate change. Warmer, slower moving waters increase the production of sea snot and allow it to accumulate in massive blobs.[2] Sea snot was first reported in 1729 and has long been seen as a nuisance to the fishing industry and coastal populations.[2] Recently, sea snot has emerged not only as a nuisance, but as a major hazard. Globs of sea snot can harbor bacteria such as E. coli that threaten maritime flora and fauna as well as humans exposed to contaminated water. It can also coat the gills of sea creatures subsumed in it, cutting off oxygen and killing them.[2] It is formed from the aggregation of "marine snow". The mucilage has many components, including a wide range of microorganisms including viruses and prokaryotes, and exopolymeric compounds with colloidal properties.[4] It is widely believed that the Sea Snot left by the BP oil spill directly resulted in the loss of sealife in the Gulf of Mexico based upon a dead field of deepwater coral 11 kilometers away from the Deepwater Horizion station.[5]
The BP oil spill created large amounts of sea snot. Scientists are not sure how exactly the spill caused so much sea snot to form, but one theory asserts that the sea snot could have been the result of a massive kill of microscopic marine life creating a "blizzard" of marine snow. Moreover, scientists worry that the mass of sea snot could pose a biohazard to surviving marine life in the area.[6]

Conference Paper: Response to selection for Orylag ® fur production traits estimated by using a control cryopreserved population
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Natural mutations in the LIPH gene were shown to be responsible for hair growth defects in humans and for the rex short hair phenotype in rabbits. In this species, we identified a single nucleotide deletion in LIPH (1362delA) introducing a stop codon in the C-terminal region of the protein. We investigated the expression of LIPH between normal coat and rex rabbits during critical fetal stages of hair follicle genesis, in adults and during hair follicle cycles. Transcripts were three times less expressed in both fetal and adult stages of the rex rabbits than in normal rabbits. In addition, the hair growth cycle phases affected the regulation of the transcription level in the normal and mutant phenotypes differently. LIPH mRNA and protein levels were higher in the outer root sheath (ORS) than in the inner root sheath (IRS), with a very weak signal in the IRS of rex rabbits. In vitro transfection shows that the mutant protein has a reduced lipase activity compared to the wild type form. Our results contribute to the characterization of the LIPH mode of action and confirm the crucial role of LIPH in hair production.
Article: A Deletion in Exon 9 of the LIPH Gene Is Responsible for the Rex Hair Coat Phenotype in Rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus)[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The fur of common rabbits is constituted of 3 types of hair differing in length and diameter while that of rex animals is essentially made up of amazingly soft down-hair. Rex short hair coat phenotypes in rabbits were shown to be controlled by three distinct loci. We focused on the "r1" mutation which segregates at a simple autosomal-recessive locus in our rabbit strains. A positional candidate gene approach was used to identify the rex gene and the corresponding mutation. The gene was primo-localized within a 40 cM region on rabbit chromosome 14 by genome scanning families of 187 rabbits in an experimental mating scheme. Then, fine mapping refined the region to 0.5 cM (Z = 78) by genotyping an additional 359 offspring for 94 microsatellites present or newly generated within the first defined interval. Comparative mapping pointed out a candidate gene in this 700 kb region, namely LIPH (Lipase Member H). In humans, several mutations in this major gene cause alopecia, hair loss phenotypes. The rabbit gene structure was established and a deletion of a single nucleotide was found in LIPH exon 9 of rex rabbits (1362delA). This mutation results in a frameshift and introduces a premature stop codon potentially shortening the protein by 19 amino acids. The association between this deletion and the rex phenotype was complete, as determined by its presence in our rabbit families and among a panel of 60 rex and its absence in all 60 non-rex rabbits. This strongly suggests that this deletion, in a homozygous state, is responsible for the rex phenotype in rabbits.
Conference Paper: Cartographie fine du caractère rex chez le lapin (Oryctolagus Cuniculus)
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Most rabbits have three different types of hair in their coats. The longest type forms the outer fur called "guard hair", a middle layer is named "awn hair" and the shortest "down hair", also know as undercoat with very thin shafts. The "rex" trait refers to rabbits having essentially down hair amazingly soft to touching. Appeared in a private breeding stock, the trait was then selected at Inra to further reduce the number of guard and awn hair. Genetic analysis reveals an autosomal recessive major gene. In rex animals, degenerated primary hair follicles are unable to synthesize the guard and awn hair. Experimental Inra families with segregating hair phenotype were selected and blood samples were collected for three generations. The rex trait was previously located on chromosome 14 by genome scanning (8 families, 187 offspring, 118 microsatellites). In a first attempt to fine mapping the trait, primers were designed to amplify 94 microsatellites within the first 40cM primo-localisation interval. The most polymorphic and evenly distributed markers were used to reduce this interval to 3 cM, further narrowed to 0.5 cM by pheno and genotyping additional informative offspring. Comparative mapping of this short chromosomal region was applied to select candidate genes that could be responsible for the rex trait. Mutations in these genes are being investigated to identify the causal mutation of the major gene controlling this trait. In addition to its economic interest, this trait represents a good model to study hair growth genetic pathways.

Ok guys and gals .I need some help. Ive procrastinated and now Im in a bind. I need to come up with an idea for a gift that if possible can be delivered. The catch is that it would have to be delivered tomorrow or Saturday. Without going into great detail, its for a girl thats not yet a girlfriend but that could be soon. So, that rules out flowers as that would be too much at this point.
I need something unique or creative. Something that will be funny or bring a smile, etc. etc. It cant be too much right now.
