Some Definitions:
What is Reassortment
When two different virus strains infect the same host, they often exchange genes, a process known as reassortment.
A significant number of experts are concerned that as H5N1 (Avian Flu) spreads more widely and infects more people, it will come across more hosts who are also carrying human flu viruses. This increases the likelihood of a new strain emerging that has the severity of the bird flu virus and the infection rate of the swine flu virus, leading to a new global pandemic with much deadlier consequences than the one we are experiencing at the moment.
What is R naught (R 0)
How many people the average infected person infects is called the basic reproductive number, or R0 (pronounced "R naught").
Measles, which is probably mankind's most contagious infection, has an R0 of about 18. Polio's number is about 6; severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) about 5. For seasonal flu strains, the R0 is about 1.2, and for pandemic strains it is rarely higher than 2. For the novel H1N1 strain, it's about 1.6. What this low R0 means is that flu outbreaks are always teetering on the verge of having their myriad chains of transmission broken by people who get infected but don't pass the virus to anyone else.
Swine Flu - Novel H1N1 flu, popularly known as swine flu, is a respiratory infection caused by an influenza virus first recognized in spring 2009. The new virus, which is officially called swine influenza A (H1N1), contains genetic material from human, swine and avian flu viruses. (By Mayo Clinic staff)
Pandemic - The word "pandemic" comes from the Greek "pan-", "all" + "demos", "people or population" = "pandemos" = "all the people." A pandemic affects all (nearly all) of the people.
A World Health Organization phase 6 pandemic indicates that influenza due to the novel H1N1 swine flu is occurring in multiple countries around the world and that human infection is widespread. The classification does not reflect the severity of individual infections.
Cytokine Storm -
When our body detects foreign micro-organisms indicating an infection, our body might respond by over-protecting the site of infection. The body may race so many antibodies to the infection site that they collect in what is known as a cytokine storm.
A cytokine storm, or "Hypercytokinemia" is a potentially fatal immune reaction consisting of a positive feedback loop between cytokines and immune cells.
A positive feedback loop means that as something increases, that increase stimulates further growth.
What makes younger people more susceptible to H1N1 is that their "vigorous immune systems pour out antibodies to attack the new virus. That can inflame lung cells until they leak fluid, which can overwhelm the lungs.
This vulnerability in the young is reminiscent of the Spanish flu of 1918. That strain of flu also struck mostly healthy young adults.
Pulmonary Embolism - Occurs when a blood clot forms in an arm or leg breaks free and enters the lungs where it is too large to pass through the small vessels of the lungs and forms a blockage. This stops blood from flowing into an area of the lung, and the part of the lung dies because it does not receive oxygen.
What is an Emergency Use Authorization (EUA)?
An EUA may be issued by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to allow either the use of an unapproved medical product or an unapproved use of an approved medical product during certain types of emergencies with specified agents.
What is the PREP Act?
The PREP Act authorizes the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services ("Secretary") to issue a declaration ("PREP Act declaration") that provides immunity from tort liability (except for willfull misconduct) for claims of loss caused, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from administration or use of countermeasures to diseases, threats and conditions determined by the Secretary to constitute a present, or credible risk of a future public health emergency to entities and individuals involved in the development, manufacture, testing, distribution, administration, and use of such countermeasures.
The PREP Act also authorizes an emergency fund in the United States Treasury to provide compensation for injuries directly caused by administration or use of a countermeasure covered by the Secretary's declaration. While no funds have been appropriated for this purpose, if funds are appropriated, compensation may then be available for medical benefits, lost wages and death benefits to individuals for specified injuries.
What are Clinical Trials:
Clinical trials, also known as clinical studies, are research studies in which scientists and doctors test new drugs and treatments to see if they will improve health. Many of today's treatments for cancer are based on the results of past clinical trials. Because of progress made through clinical trials, many people treated for cancer are now living longer.
Clinical trials are divided into four phases.
Phase 1 trials: These trials are the first time a new drug or treatment is given to humans. They are normally carried out in a small number of volunteers (typically 6-20 people) who may include healthy volunteers or patients with the disease for which the product is intended as a treatment in order to find out how safe the treatment is. They also look at how a new drug should be given (by mouth, injected into muscle or the bloodstream, etc.), how often and at what dose. Phase 1 trials can also involve patients for whom standard therapies have failed and for whom no other therapies are available.
Phase 2 trials: These trials involve larger numbers of people (typically 12 - 50). Phase 2 trials continue to look at safety of the therapy but also test how well the new drug or treatment works in patients with different disease types.
Phase 3 trials: These are large studies (100+ people) that look at how well a new drug or treatment works in comparison to current therapies to see which treatment is better. Those taking part are usually divided into two treatment groups: standard treatment versus new treatment.
Phase 4 trials: These trials are usually carried out after the drug or treatment has been approved by the FDA and is readily available for use in the general patient population. The purpose of Phase 4 trials is to continue to study the effects of the drug or treatment on different populations and to look for side effects associated with long-term use.
Back to Top
What is a Protocol:
Clinical trials use written guidelines called protocols. The protocol explains what the trial hopes to accomplish, how the trial will be carried out, and why each part of the trial is necessary. For example, the protocol includes:
* The reason for doing the trial
* How many people will be in the trial
* Who is eligible to take part in the trial
* What study drugs participants will need to take
* What medical tests participants will have and how often
* What information will be gathered
Every doctor or research center that takes part in the trial uses the same protocol. This makes sure that patients are treated identically no matter where they are receiving treatment, and that information from all the centers taking part can be combined and compared.

I am not too happy with any of the outbreak maps. They all make the same mistake, they try to show the worlds data on one chart. This makes them SLOW.
I will keep looking for one that works faster.
Red Cross Tips For Dealing With The Flu:
* Stay in a room separate from common areas of the home and avoid contact with others as much as possible.
* Stay at home for at least 24 hours after their fever is gone without using medicine to reduce the fever.
* Get lots of rest and drink plenty of fluids.
* Consider wearing a facemask, if available and tolerable, when sharing common spaces with household members. (ed - surgical masks ok).
* Check with your healthcare provider about whether to take antiviral medication, or if fever persists, whether antibiotics are needed.
*Disinfect door knobs, switches, handles, toys and other surfaces that everyone touches.
* Use detergent and very hot water to do dishes and wash clothes. It's okay to wash everyone's dishes and clothes together. Wash your hands after handling dirty laundry.
* Designate only one adult as the caregiver. People at increased risk of severe illness from the flu should not be caregivers.
* Although not mentioned by the Red Cross, the caregiver should probably ware a surgical mask as well when entering the sick room.
* Deal with crisis situations calmly and confidently to give the best support to the person being cared for.

Last comment in the Last Swine Flu Concentrator
I'm very happy with the (VICL) trade. I may take some profits this afternoon, but I intend to keep the remainder as a core holding.
Thanks for the new concentrator, Mr. User, sir.
(VICL): Public stock offering - down 6+% right now.
Unfortunately, here is another stick in the eye with respect to VICL
Shoot. Glad I sold off a bunch and took profits today. I was actually thinking there at the end when it bounced to end the day up almost 10% that I made a mistake cashing in earlier...
Shorts would benefit.
AH prices for (VICL) have already moderated to being down about 10%, at $2.57.
robert.b.ferguson, contributorI never got in to (VICL) though I hold a fair amount of (NVAX). I'm thinking I will stay on the side lines here unless the price drops below $2.45. With flu season kicking off we should be seeing some movement in both. BTW this flu season is expected to be relatively mild.
NVAX should start picking up in October. Some upcoming events:
<A – Rahul Singhvi>: Yeah. I think we – depending on when we begin the trial, the data will start rolling in. And as you know, these are fairly quick trials.
I sold off remainder of (VICL) early this morning (couldn't post comments this morning on SA for some reason).
Sorry to hear that. Hope you were light on it.
I took heavy profits near the peak yesterday. When I dumped the rest this morning, it was only about a dime less than I bought it for. I came out almost even with the board.

(NVAX): NOVAVAX to Present at BIO Investor Forum
I'm of the same mind. The only downside risk I see is if the market *finally* has a significant correction and drags NVAX with it. But I think if the BARDA contract comes to fruition or flu season is of a nature that favors the NVAX capabilities, and we have no nasty surprises on quarterly reporting, the price could be supported by these catalysts even if market is trying to drag it down.
The 3 key events I am looking for in the next 6 months (before these calls expire) are BARDA, the final Mexico 6-month safety results being announced and leading to Mexico approval, and the IND/trial initiation for RSV.
Presuming they are not naked shorts, any stock held in street name can be lent out by the broker holding them, I think. They collect revenue from loaning out your shares to folks who will harm you by driving the stock price downward.
robert.b.ferguson, contributorWe could all benefit from regulations prohibiting brokerages from lending out shares they don't own. That would facilitate them to buy their own shares to participate in that type of activity. Just as they can no longer (Theoretically) trade with depositor monies. Too much to ask for I guess. I'm looking at adding to my position in (NVAX) as well.
Bristol-Myers' Delayed Steal
Bristol-Myers Squibb's (BMY) $735 million buyout of ZymoGenetics (ZGEN) is looking a little less shocking after ZymoGenetics announced encouraging clinical trial results for its melanoma -- skin cancer -- treatment interleukin 21 (IL-21).
VICL is currently very close to its public offering price of $2.25. Having a stock drop to a new public offering price appears to be a common occurrence.... When the (SNY) drug failed, it very likely reduced needed cash flow, and I suspect that was the reason for that sudden public offering - the old rock and a hard place....
I took profits on VICL at about $3.80... I bought back big at $2.50, and I will be buying a few thousand more shares at the $2.25 price. The stock is a target for the shorts... so don't expect a slow trend up since that will be countered by short activity.... I plan to wait for a pop, take profits, and wait for the shorts to do their thing, then re-enter...
Not sure if this was posted some time ago, but here is a link to the Dawson James report (from June) on NVAX. I just re-read it today, while waiting, waiting.....anyway, some really interesting stuff in here for those who may not have seen this previously. Dawson's 18-month target price is really low I believe, and the writer says they are being very conservative in the revenue estimates and other potential drivers as well, so take it for what it's worth.
Thanks for the link! That document seems to provide a compendium of all we've observed over time. This is very convenient for review when doing periodic due diligence before deciding on position going forward.
robert.b.ferguson, contributorDitto! Your efforts are much appreciated. Going in to flu season I would have expected more information from (NVAX) and their partners. Last I heard they were putting their new facility in to full operation.
Mitsu et al,
... we believe Novavax' initial near-term revenue opportunities could be realized from the receipt of a contract from BARDA valued between $25-$100 MM. Our model assumes receipt of a $25 MM award in 4Q10. We believe there is upside to our forecasts as Novavax potentially could also realize additional near-term revenue opportunities of similar value from contracts established with other government health agencies around the world
robert.b.ferguson, contributorHTL: Greetings. That could get sticky since we had no budget for fiscal 2010 which incidentally is the first time that has happened since 1974. I'm sure that sending a budget to the POTUS will be a priority for the House Republicans should the gain control of the House. However that budget will be looking to trim expenses and the BARDA could fall victim to that effort. I hope not as it would adversely affect (NVAX) and those of us holding that stock.
3 vaccine grants handed out today - can't be much longer for NVAX to get one:
Another BARDA award granted today. This one is large: $500 million, potential of $2.8 Billion. Wow.

(NVAX): Catching a bid today and had some early signs a couple days ago. today, +3.57% right now (10:15 edt).
I believe the company has been selling a lot of shares from that huge shelf registration they announced earlier this year (they could sell up to $25M in shares I believe). Around 3:30 yesterday, the selling stopped suddenly...there was a large seller all day (as there had been for some time) and all of a sudden their shares were gone. Speculating that they were selling for NVAX and may have finally reached the cap. Selling had been relentless for a long time which is why we just got pinned to right around the $2.20 level for so long.
(NVAX): Aha Mits! You reminded me I hadn't checked shorts for a while. Maybe the fairly consistent decrease in short as days to cover rose, due to reduced dauily volume, has also helped out here?

Yes, I was thinking about this last night. If I'm right about nvax selling shares, they have basically been a huge help to the shorts in allowing them to easily cover at a low price while they were selling. Ugh, I hate shorts...they always find an easy way out. Anyway, I think nvax stock price is on it's way back up.
(NVAX): Just took a look at the daily chart. WOW! Trading above 200 day SMA, already exceeded 10 average volume, all technical indicators positive.
(NVAX): P.S. Resistance @ $2.42 & then $2.47 & volume above 10 day average ~+20%.
(NVAX): Correction, Sell options for $0.60 or so, $0.20 was for the $3 option.
And the final Mexico safety results. I think this could be a huge event in addition to BARDA if it leads to a quick approval from Mexico's gov't. They did promise expedited review, so hopefully once final results are in, they will stamp approved and we will have our first revenue-generating product on the market! I am really impressed with the nvax-Avimex partnership decision in Mexico.
(NVAX): I think I found the source of today's push up. King sold. Major holders in that also big holders in NVAX. Folks are betting that NVAX is on the block too.
Here's a list of institutional holders of (NVAX):
I'm sitting on a lot of (NVAX). Normally I would be taking profits right now, but I'm standing pat.

(NVAX): I couldn't get bites for $2 strike for Jan @ the price I wanted. Mutter, mumble, O.K. Sold $3 Jan strikes for $0.20. Will need bigger moves or more time to close at a profit (delta only 27%) or, ...
Generally, I would rather sell than buy any instrument which has time-decay. However, if you consider it "gambling money" and properly assess your risk/reward tolerance, it sounds inexpensive enough.
P.S. Cheap options may be telling you a lot about sentiment or may be just telling you a lot about a low volatility sentiment in the market. Substantially out-of-the-money options are really speculative - more akin to gambling.
Thanks for the advise everyone. I ended up buying more April $4 calls instead of the $3 Jan calls. Doing spreads and selling calls etc is a little beyond me - I rarely do options and am not an expert on them...I will just take my chances buying what I understand! I'll scream if NVAX isn't at least $4 by April though...this has been dead $ for so long and so much potential news/progress is right in front of us.
SIGA is now over $14 (up from $8.25 or so) on this BARDA award, and PIP is following suit. Unreal how much they have moved up without even taking a breather!
Yeah, in order to make any money you need to buy in the money or really close to it, and be prepared to exercise the options, convert it to stock, and then sell it. Otherwise it's going to be pennies at best. Not enough to warrant the commitment, imo. But, if you can sell an out of the money call, at least you are generating some offset for your out of pocket expense. Then, you have to sit on your hands and not disturb the spread. If you leg out, you open yourself up to additional fees and commissions, plus your risk changes at that point.
Just a thought. I didn't look at it. I haven't sold options on NVAX in awhile, too thinly traded for my taste.
(NVAX): Early indications of this season's flu activity?
(NVAX): Took a quick cursory look at some daily chart action.
(NVAX): Just penetrated $2.29, now entered the $2.2x range I called for. Too early to move though - need to see what trend develops next week.
(NVAX): Current chart makes it look like it wants to continue lower, but a reversal could occur quickly if shorts or investors decide this is a good price.
(NVAX): Daily chart seems to support more downward action too.

robert.b.ferguson, contributor
LoL! What a great thought. That would mean the identity, SS#, Corp I.D. #, ... of every seller on the other side of the trade would have to be revealed!
(NVAX): Outside reversal day, possible reversal to upside. W/b entering @ 1K shares for my wife's account again, today or tomorrow, and then (maybe) sell calls later. Other technical indicators on chart improving.
(NVAX): Got her bck in @ $2.39. Closed @ $2.40. Had good volume, traded most of the day, and closed above, the 200 SMA, two prior resistance points ($2.35/$2.36). Next resistances are ~$2.42 & ~$2.47.
Right you are, Hard. I see a possible short term double top forming at $2.475. If we break through that, we're good to go. Intraday stochcastic was bouncing along the top of the board most of the day. Two year stochastic shows slightly overbought. Today's volume was merely normal, though. (NVAX)
Well, the dollar decided to hit us, and everybody and everything else almost, today. Fortunately, I entered an order to sell calls for my wife's 1K shares before market open that executed right at the open before price had a chance to move down. Same Jan $3.00 strikes @ $0.20 as I got for mine, so we have some wiggle room and potential profit if share price moves too far.
(NVAX): ClinicalTrials.gov processed this record on October 18, 2010
Yes, I agree - looks like Mexico is getting ready to do an update with the final safety results. I think this could be an event equally important as BARDA in terms of gaining credibility on Wall St. Once Mexico gives approval, Novavax changes from a cash-burning R&D company to a revenue-generating company with an approved product on the market. That will be a huge milestone.
This record was updated on Friday (10/22) and again yesterday. I can't see any changes being made to it either, so must be some behind the scenes updates in preperation for releasing final safety results. If nothing else, these updates confirm someone is still working on the study results. Good news shortly.
NVAX is reporting 3rd qtr. Conference call is scheduled for 11/5/10
We have it on good authority that BARDA will be awarded in November. Obviously we don't have any details whether NVAX will get any of the award, how much, etc. but now we know November is the month.
robert.b.ferguson, contributorMitshu35: Greetings. Thanks for the update and for keeping track of these events. I've owned a chunk of (NVAX) for quite some time and it always seems to be building momentum with out actually going any where.
Believe me, I understand. I have been in it for about 1.5 years - dead money while the rest of the market screams by. However, I am looking at it like this: We are literally able to get in on the ground floor of a world-class vaccine company (if you believe in the VLP technology). It's just absurd that you can still buy shares under $2.50. I'm not trying to pump here, just offering a perspective on where we are and where (I hope) this company will be in a year or so.
I want to believe too, but I'm growing tired. I I know that Cadila completed its facility in India. But I don't know if the status of the VLP product has changed from last January. Does anyone else know, or is this still the case? It's hard to find info on it because it is a private company. If NVAX doesn't get a Barda award, I am thinking of moving on.
This is one of those cases where SOMEONE, sooner or later, will make the first successful version. In the past these sorts of breakthroughs occured in many different settings. Government labs, corporations, private foundations, academia, and of course relatively small companies like NovaVax.
Good discussion. Here's my take on a few things.
Trip: I completely agree with what you say. However, our small world needs this technology. Period. If this technology is thwarted, humanity has little hope for alleviating widespread disease. This brilliant technology can not, and should not be suppressed. This is unrealized "hope" for the masses, yet the masses are clueless about this hope.
I'm gambling fairly large that (NVAX) will be one of the winners - don't get me wrong, there IS a good amount of time left on the big pharma string. Note the 6-8 year time span I posit in my comments. I don't think anyone here believes this backing and filling with NovaVax will still be at status quo for that long!
(NVAX): Found the clue that November is the date that Mitshu mentioned.
Much depends on whether or not there is a major looking to make a minor acquisition. In that case, the objective conditions might work toward an intermediate drop in price, setting up the purchase negotiation. It is quite possible that everything is, indeed, pointing to that incredibly busy 1st week in November.
HTL my thoughts would be that if the mexico news and barda come through that push down will be from a much higher level.
I don't think we'll see a whole lot of price action, unless some news starts to really leak. I think what we "know" about the company and timing, etc. isn't generally known to the average investor. That is what makes speculating so much fun and potentially profitable I guess.
Triple - regarding your comment (below), this manipulation is exactly what I went through on ONT when Google was interested in them. Google management and ONT insiders colluded to drive the price low (ONT management wanted to become part of GOOG and were not looking out for shareholder interest as they were supposed to do), so things like this do actually happen. I told my broker about it, he simply said "it's called Corporate Theft, and it happens...". There were (and still are) multilple lawsuits. GOOG simply stole the company...I had never seen anything like it. I honestly haven't been the same after having gone through that.
Yes, there is always the danger that management will be lining their pockets instead of protecting shareholders. Often when this occurs it is not the FIRST time (criminals often commit the same crime frequently, particularly if they gain from it on the earlier occasions). Does anyone know the corporate backgrounds of (NVAX) management?
Thanks, that is reassuring.
Just to add on to my comment...
(NVAX): just took a close look at the daily chart.
09/30 9,747,429 (5.22) 612,970 15.90
(NVAX): today's action turned daily chart weaker. Holding off on adding. Might be a mistake, but the worst that happens is I move in when it starts to strengthen again at a slightly higher price.
I just bought another chunk of April call options. Once the news breaks, may be too late, so I'd rather be early & wait. I think once we get out of the $2's, we'll never see the price this low again. I have waited this long, so a few more days/weeks won't kill me now.

Good thoughts.
Great job, Hard! I would think the short interest should also be declining because the flu season is setting in. If I had the ability to short NVAX, I most certainly would not be establishing new short positions this time of year. If I had shorts, I would be covering. Along with all the other insightful reasons you pointed out above, we may see a narrower yet elevated trading range until the next news cycle event, despite the distinct possibility of some greater short term broad market volatility in the headlights.
(NVAX): Well the shorts aren't being so very smart, IMO.
I'm going to make a couple of predicitions here...
(VICL): Vical to Update Herpes Simplex Vaccine Program at Keystone Conference
... Vice President of Clinical Development, Richard T. Kenney, M.D., is presenting preclinical results from the company's herpes simplex type 2 (HSV-2) vaccine program in a poster session Friday morning at the Keystone Symposium on Immunological Mechanisms of Vaccination (Seattle, October 27 – November 1)
(NVAX): 200 SMA & Lower BB both ~$2.33. Recent support ~$2.35/6 (3 recent occurrences). Market seems ready to open down today. Keep eyes open for move down, next support @ ~$2.30-$2.33, ~$2.25.
(NVAX): Correction to lower Bollinger band. As of *yesterday's* close, $2.346.
$2.30 looks like a floor to me (hit $2.29 briefly). I have seen several blocks of 5K+ shares trade at the ask today, so looks to me like someone is accumulating on this dip.
(NVAX), (seekingalpha.com/symbo...): Sounds like this might be right up the alleys of these two since no liuve virus is used and both are involved in "receptors" that need to be disabled in same way.
(NVAX), (VICL): Schooltech2000 @ Yahoo! in this post
I don't think so. Approaching quarterly results there is a lot of anticipation, due to possible Mex. results and Barda award to follow in the next few months, and anxiety, as folks are also fearful that the report will be viewed in a dim light, the Mex. results or Barda award may not be forthcoming as quickly as expected (hoped), ...
This is from Oct. 10th...check out the last line. The NVAX story is getting out finally.
(NVAX), (VICL): Namibia Confirms 29 Cases of Swine Flu; No Vaccination Campaign Is Planned
Schoolteach2000 posted the article below on the Yahoo message board, and I think this is something to watch: "The finding in 2010 of a significant increase in the Replikin Count of the H5N1 infectivity gene as well, in scout viruses to 8.4, its highest level in 53 years, is of concern."
Replikins Global BioRadar Surveillance System™ Shows Replikin Count in H5N1 at Record High for 2010
(VICL): Names Igor Bilinsky Senior Vice President, Corporate Development
Here's an article from the UK that Swine flu "jab" is associated with nerve disease:
Now the question becomes: does a vaccination based on a VLP (NVAX) have the same level of risk? If not, huge for NVAX. The Mexico safety data should show it, but with such a low percentage of occurrences, the safety data from Mexico may not be a large enough sampling to provide statistically significant proof.
If it does not have adjuvants and mercury that would be helpful too.
(NVAX): Designed to be used without the need of adjuvants, IIRC. From waht I recall of the safety data, the effectiveness and responses at the lowest doses (5 mcg?) were almost as good as at higher doses - but there were so many new things I could have overlooked something.
Well, mercury continues to be used in vaccinations given early in childhood for other things. I have a strong suspicion about mercury, even making my dentist use alternatives about 30 years ago. He didn't like, thought I was stupid (may be, but for other reasons) and argued with me. But I stood my ground and have no regrets.
(NVAX): re RSV from NIH, 10/27/2010. Although insufficient VLP for RSV was available for testing, the used quantities of VLPs for Newcastle disease which contained RSV F and G proteins to test for possible effectiveness in mice, WITHOUT adjuvant. Good results were seen.
(NVAX): I don't think so. It's staying pretty much in a range bound trade from$2.2x (~$2.29 or so) to $2.47. The *range*, I believe, is an effect of folks awaiting the report, the conference call and enlightenment as to when Mex. approval may be received and, expected to *follow* that after some period, the date when the BARDA award might be announced (current chatter says HHS is being cautious and waiting for final results and approval from Mexico so that HHS doesn't have too much egg on their face - I don't know how much of this is true, of course).
I believe we are seeing a general reaction. Eventually we will learn that xbillion$ fled equities (again). Looks like a lot.
A possible bearish indicator is that mutual funds saw a small inflow for the first time in 6 months, IIRC, according to CNBC.
Nah, HTL..."Going crazy macro" is the first symptom of TripleBlackout Syndrome!
robert.b.ferguson, contributorAs Weast Nile activity wanes wuth the mosquito population seasonal flu activity is picking up along the border. All of the Sonoran states on both sides of the border are reporting this from West Texas to central AZ. Vaccine is readily available and being highly touted.
(NVAX): Chart looks like it may roll over today. Not convincing, but the apparent support @ ~$2.29 looks at risk here.
(NVAX): Luck jack over at yahoo!, in this thread, reports that we have no news from NVAX because they are preparing an article for publication. This is supposed to be based on a call to investor relations.
Yes, the Mexico results are supposed to be published in a professional publication...this was mentioned on one of the previous conference calls (I believe the last one).
Heh. Ya' think? I wonder if that was difficult for them to figure out.
h1n1supreme posted the comment below. I guess we won't see a PR on these final safety results in the near future, but the results should still allow Mexico gov't approval at this point...not sure how long that may take after these final results were tabulated though.
"the Mexican results CAN be discussed at conferences...but MAY NOT be publicly released in press release or other media until published in the journal to whom we have given exclusive rights..." quote from nvax investor relations over the phone 20 minutes ago....call them yourself...do your own due diligence...
HOWEVER...I have never seen a professional journal demand confidentiality on an article with less than significant results....aimho
(NVAX): Price has now bumped off the resistance at $2.45 - $2.47 (ignoring the spike of 10/13 and "shooting star" of 10/25, both of which were immediately followed by reversions to range) several times now. So we have a "triple top" here. And the last two occurrences have exhibited *decisive* resistance as the prices were pushed from the highs back down to very near the lows of the day.

(NVAX): NOVAVAX Awarded Nearly $1 Million in Grants from IRS Under Qualifying Therapeutic Discovery Project
2 gushers coming:
robert.b.ferguson, contributor
Some of us were bumming that after chopper Ben's FMOC announcement, the market would pull back...during the potential BARDA/Mex/Nature Mag announcement(s). Now, with more money pouring in, the possiblity of the Bush Tax cuts being extended, the dollar again tanking, the markets on a tear, we may just have the perfect time for NVAX to make some announcements.
(NVAX) loss ($0.10) my platform reports expected was ($0.09).
Q3 revenues $175,000
(NVAX): Initial knee-jerk reaction in pre-market and later. Conference call could sway sentiment as Q&A may reveal *supportable* optimistic news.
(NVAX): Full PR here.
(NVAX): Prior to conference call 09:46 right now, bid/ask $2.33/$2.34 w 1:2 ratio a time. Narrows and widens, but seems a little more selling pressure than buying at these prices in Level II market depth chart.
(NVAX): With abatement of H1N1 threat, Mexico's regulatory authority has reverted to "normal" process, so I read this as not immediate news of Mexico approval.
(NVAX): test of Rockville reactor manufacturing yields and quality is excellent.
(NVAX): Cautiously optimistic of Barda award.
(NVAX): expects Barda funding absorption of all costs of Phase III trials here, but negotions are ongoing.
(NVAX): first analyst seems to view this as "good progress" and "good quarter".
I didn't realize that another round of trials would be required to get seasonal flu vaccine approval. This was the big disappointment to me from the call (along with Mexico putting H1N1 approval on standard review time now instead of the expedited review as had been promised previously).
I have to admit that after today's call, I am committed to getting out of NVAX. I sold all the shares that I have at a profit, and if we get a BARDA announcement and the stock moves up at all, I will be 100% out. I believe this company has great potential and vaccine technology, but it consistently comes up "a day late and a dollar short" everywhere they turn.
Your exit is certainly understandable. It's one of the hazards of investing. Sometime extraordinary patience is needed, a belief in fundamentals of the company product and faith in the management's ability to realize "the dream".
robert.b.ferguson, contributor
Thanks Robert. I'm still in NVAX, though I have sold a chunk. Just can't take another 1-2 years without revenue, but am holding out hope for BARDA award.
(NVAX): closed out my Jan $3 calls for total profit just under $300.
Lots of Dec., Jan & April $3 call options (almost 425 total) were bought today. Is someone speculating, or does someone suddenly know something here??? That's the question we'd all like to know I guess.
(NVAX): There must be some long-term investors underlying today's price action. I see no *major* selling pressure, in fact I just saw a $2.34/$2/35 with a 6:1 bid/ask ratio - another big buy imbalance again.
(NVAX): Just hit $2.40 Maya. Don't know if it can hold though.
HTL: Saw that. I sold 2500 shares this morning and then flipped $s into (LPH).Still retain a lot of shares. My gamer account is doing really well today, despite the down markets.
Me too, Maya. Sold 1800 shares of NVAX, holding a bunch still.
(NVAX): bid:ask ~2:1 looks to move on up a while. But it's a low volume day.

The fact that it comes from the world's most pessimistic reviewer makes it even more impressive. No one sane will ever claim that Yahtzee was paid off. He still lays into it a fair bit, but he was clearly able to see past the flaws and enjoy the game, he says as much.

Its really not a bad game, but we can all agree that this game was too rushed and has not been explored to it's fullest potential. For the popular title of the T.V. show, this game could've been just as good as it's well known title. And don't get me started on the long load times. If there was anything horrible about the game, every load time gave me reason not to die in this game.
I am societies child, this is how they made me, and now im sayin what's on my mind and they don't want that. This is what you made me America- 2Pac
^ Agree completely.
The game certainly does (did) have tremendous potential, as it has elements that are such great ideas...but the game is just poorly executed and feels very rushed.
One of my biggest complaints is that zombies spawn in way to often, especially when shooting a gun.
Now I get that guns are loud and they draw attention, and I really like the feature...but sometimes I feel like there are circumstances that would play well with using a gun, but the minute I do the game spawns in groups of zombies out of nowhere, which ultimately just discourages from using them.
I don't mind the stealth aspect, but I really hate the way the game discourages you from going outside of that.
I've cleared whole areas of all zombies (stealthily), but the minute I tried to use a gun (to have some fun), the games spawned a bunch of zombies right behind me and I died.
It just makes the game feel too forced.
But I think that this game could have been exceptional had the Developers been given more time to work things out.
I've read a few Reviews from official game sites that claim that the Devs were only given 8 to 10 months to make this game.
That is absurd, but explains a lot.
It's really saddens me to think how good this game could've been, but wasn't because of Activisions greed.

Jenkins regrets going public over frustrations with defense
Green Bay — Cullen Jenkins felt much better about his place in the Green Bay Packers' defense Wednesday after he emerged from lengthy meetings with the coaching staff.
A frustrated Jenkins said after Sunday's 38-26 loss to the Minnesota Vikings that he felt "handcuffed" in the new defense and that the coaches weren't putting the players in the position to be successful.
Jenkins met separately with coach Mike McCarthy, defensive coordinator Dom Capers and line coach Mike Trgovac on Monday and said everyone is now on the same page.
"We talked out a lot of stuff, got a lot of stuff settled," Jenkins said. "We got a lot of positives out of the talks."
Jenkins also emerged conciliatory about the manner in which he voiced his concerns.
"I was wrong for the way I went about stuff, going through the media to try to say something," said Jenkins, who is in his sixth year with the team.
"If I had an issue, I should have went straight to them and talked with them about it and not handle it the way I handled it. So that's something I need to take responsibility for and handle better, especially being one of the older guys on this team. I should be setting a better example."
Jenkins explained that most of his frustration came from his changed role in the new scheme.
In 2008, playing defensive end in the 4-3, Jenkins was having the best season of his career before a torn pectoral muscle ended it after four games. Up to that point, Jenkins had 18 tackles, 2 1/2 sacks and 10 pressures, which ended up second on the team despite him missing the final 12 games.
Through seven games this season, Jenkins has 19 tackles, 3 1/2 sacks (tied for team lead) and seven pressures.
For a player who was used to making impactful plays with regularity, they just aren't as plentiful now.
"They understood that I was frustrated," Jenkins said. "I was out there working hard and competing and when you don't win the game you get frustrated. They call the stuff that's best for the defense and sometimes as a player you want to do more to try to help your team, but you also have to understand that you have to play within the defense and they can't compromise their defense just to try to make somebody happy.
"I guess I was being impatient, which kind of made it so frustrating for me. I have made plays. I have made impact in this defense and I've just got to keep being patient and playing within the scheme and opportunities will come for me."
In Capers' 3-4 scheme, Jenkins still plays end, but instead of lining up one-on-one against the left tackle, he often has to go against the guard and the tackle. That's a big adjustment that Jenkins is still working through.
"You're not used to it," Jenkins said. "It's definitely a little different, but it's something that you just have to accept. I can still make plays in it. I'm still going to get opportunities in it. Just got to keep fighting."
Jolly gets it right
Following the game, defensive end Johnny Jolly didn't make any apologies for his head-butting penalty that cost the Packers four points in the first quarter.
On Monday, he was less defiant and said the referee made the right call, although Jolly didn't take responsibility for his miscue.
Jolly finally got the message Wednesday.
"I shouldn't have let my emotions take over me on that play because Nick (Barnett) had made a great play on third down and we could have been off the field," Jolly said.
"That gave them an opportunity get three more snaps prior to the touchdown they scored. Next time, it won't happen like that. That was my fault. I take all the blame for it. That was totally my fault. I'm a better person than that."
McCarthy said he discussed penalties with the team again this week.
"The message and the topics were discussed directly, loud and clear," McCarthy said. "We need to learn from this experience. Yeah, our penalties are too high, and particularly that type of penalty. There's no excuse for it. It definitely factored in the game. I'm confident that our football team will learn from Johnny's mistake."
Spitz stalled
The Packers were hopeful last week that center/guard Jason Spitz was past the lower back injury that kept him out of the starting lineup against the Detroit Lions and Cleveland Browns, but he couldn't go against the Vikings.
McCarthy still doesn't know when Spitz will return.
"Just kind of not making progress," McCarthy said. "Hopefully we can continue with his treatment and rehab and make some progress. I know he is frustrated. I know Dr. (Pat) McKenzie is a little concerned. . . . It is a low back injury so there is that uncertainty there. But hopefully he'll start to make some more progress here."
At this point the Packers aren't considering putting Spitz on injured reserve.
"We're going to give Jason every chance to get healthy," McCarthy said.
Injury report
In addition to Spitz and quarterback Aaron Rodgers (feet), receivers Donald Driver (neck) and Jordy Nelson (knee), tight end Jermichael Finley (knee) and cornerback Charles Woodson (hip) sat out practice. Finley will likely not practice this week, McCarthy said.
Fullback Korey Hall (calf) and safety Derrick Martin (concussion) were limited.
Linebacker Brandon Chillar (hand surgery) has been ruled out. McCarthy said A.J. Hawk will take the majority of snaps in base and nickel defenses this week.
For the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, cornerback Aqib Talib (ankle) and guard Jeremy Zuttah (shoulder) were limited.

I was walking home from work at around 5:45pm today. It was a beautiful day. I was on a normally busy public street near George Washington University. However, at that particular moment, there was a brief lull in foot traffic.
A teenager, no older than 13 or 14, was walking towards me. Three other teenagers were behind him. I really didn't look twice at them.
As I pass by the first teenager who was walking by himself, he slaps my butt. Honestly, it took me a few seconds to register what had happened. I walked a few more steps and suddenly it registered. Apparently, the other three boys were with him and were laughing.
I whipped around and said, "What the fuck?" As they walked away laughing, I continued to get more incensed and said "Really, you can't treat women like that!" They continued laughing—one of them made a point of pretty much laughing in my face— and told me to "shake that ass."
I immediately started shaking and crying. I've been lucky in my life to not experience much street harassment. This was the first time someone ever felt entitled to touch my body in a public place. And I felt powerless. Since it never happened to me before–someone reaching out and grabbing me–I had no idea what to do. There were no cops around to tell. No one really saw. The kids were laughing in my face.
It's been two and a half hours. I can still feel the echo of his hand slapping me.

My boyfriend and I decided to go on a weekend away in Milano. I had never been there and was pleased to see what a modern city it is and how everything works.
We were going for the train back home and took the metro to the main station, and my boyfriend was leaning against the door while I was holding his arm, facing him. The car was crowded, but we all had enough space to move around comfortably. At first I thought that the guy behind me had lost his balance, and that was why he was so close to me. When he didn't get back to a polite distance, I suspected something. I kept pushing closer to my boyfriend and the door but the guy would follow my every movement. My boyfriend got irritated, not understanding what was going on, and that's when I realized that I was paralyzed, unable to speak up. At last the door opened and I bursted out of the car.
Now would be a good time to say that I am a militant feminist, that I am involved in politics and am used to seeing ordinary sexism for what it is. However, my first reflex has been to add layers to my clothing… I know it's not the victims fault, and there is nothing to be ashamed of…how many times have I said that in public, in front of a crowd? But that day, I felt ashamed, dirty and guilty…
I wish I could say I shouted at him and took a picture, but I didn't. As someone who never misses an opportunity to point at machismo and street harassment, I was speechless.

I have infinite experiences of verbal and physical street harassment with threatening, sexual undertones- but these occasions stood out to me.
I was at a festival with a group of my friends, the age demographic predominantly being about 16-21. At one point, as my friends were all in a tent, i lingered directly outside- packing some things in to my bag before i joined them. I was literally centimetres away from my group when a hulking man in his mid 30's- evidently stronger, bigger, and able to over power me if he wanted- entered my personal space and began saying "your friends have all left you, they told me to come and get you- come to our tent". Not only was this man clearly to old for the age demographic, which in itself made me feel uncomfortable, but he was actually lying to me in an attempt to get me to come to his tent. He had seen me in a vulnerable position, on my own, and taken the opportunity to try and deceive me into leaving with him. I felt genuinely threatened, as at that moment, it could have been possible for him to forcibly take me without anyone initially knowing or able to locate me. Considering the reports of rape at this particular festival, and his sleazy remarks towards me- it comes as no shock that i felt completely intimidated.
At this same festival, i woke up in the morning to find two men, both considerably older than me, sitting in the entrance to our tent (which they must have opened themselves). One of the men was groping my thighs and stroking my legs in a sexually threatening way- saying "i'd love to wake up to these legs". Feeling utterly repelled, i responded with a look of clear disgust and told him to 'get off'. He had the audacity to look shocked and offended at my remark, saying "oooohhhh she didn't like THAT!!" and asking me if i was a lesbian. I don't know how you are supposed to respond when you wake up to a complete stranger touching you *WHILE YOU SLEEP* without you even vaguely hinting towards wanting any attention.
In the next situation i am about to outline, i didn't feel threatened, but i think it is a horrific demonstration of how social conditioning from acts as a catalyst for the objectification and street harassment of women. I was walking home from sixth form, when a group of boys ranging from the ages of about 9-10, shouted sexual remarks at me- outlining what they were 'going to do to me'. Shocking. These are CHILDREN. Evidently then, they did not actually intend or even desire what they shouted at me. Clearly then, these kids have watched this behaviour in older men and copied it, influenced by the pervasive objectification of women as 'things to hurl abuse at'- not fully understanding the meaning of their behaviour. It's a vicious cycle- the observable harassment of women permeating the minds of young boys and presenting itself as acceptable.
My Dad explained to me that he did not realise or comprehend the impact of 'normal' street harassment towards women, until he was approached in exactly the same way by a group of gay men- all bigger than him- and he was put in the vulnerable situation that women find themselves in every day. Unwanted sexual advances like this are NOT compliments. They are THREATENING, INTIMIDATING and DEGRADING.

A few months ago, I went out to a Friday night dinner with my husband of 23 years at Rocco's Tacos on Clematis Street in West Palm Beach, Florida. I wore a new dress and was feeling proud of myself, especially after having worked very hard to lose more then 50 pounds to get back to a healthy weight. After dinner, while my husband visited the restroom and before we walked back to our car for the drive home, rather than wait inside I told him I'd be out front since it was a beautiful evening.
As I strolled a few paces away from those dining on the sidewalk, two men who appeared to be in their twenties were approaching, laughing. I slightly backed up and angled my body to avoid brushing against them or others as they passed, and one of them said something that sounded like 'Tasty!' while his knuckles brushed the front of my crotch. He didn't stop moving but it felt like *very* deliberate contact. I immediately turned after him saying 'What the fuck?!' but both of them immediately took off running — and laughing.
My husband arrived a minute after that. I told him I thought I'd just been groped and he really wanted to go after them. I convinced him they were long gone so there wouldn't be any point. Now I wish I'd let him try, although I still think it wouldn't have led to finding them in the crowds that were on Clematis that night. I feel violated by a couple of punks who obviously think humiliating and denigrating women at random is a fun game. When I think of putting on that new dress for a second time, I just can't. I'll probably end up donating it even though I spent a lot of money on it.
I was in Paris for Easter. It was early afternoon, I was walking back to my hotel, which was in a very posh neighborhood, a group of two boys and two girls were walking in the opposite direction of the same sidewalk. They were about 13 to 14 years old. The idea of any harassment wouldn't have crossed my mind at all, I barely paid attention to them, which made it even worse. As I was about to pass them, one of the boys grabbed me out of nothing in between my legs, the other one slapped my butt. After that, they just casually proceeded in their walk while screaming laughing, including the two girls.
As an adult, who thinks of herself as a strong woman, I was caught off guard, not knowing what to do, hating myself for not doing anything, at least a slap might have done after all. Even though I already got used to whistling, being hauled, forced into conversations, etc. I was defenseless at this point, kept wondering what made them do it, and was alarmed by the fact that a kid might be a possible threat to me. However, I mostly regretted all those women around these two boys, be it their sisters, mothers, friends or future girlfriends and wives.

I don't have a single story. I have tons of stories. Growing up I learned not to take walks, to never acknowledge people, and pretend to talk on the phone (with 911 already dialed).
I began riding a bike for exercise, as I receive less comments and gestures, although they still happen.
The most recent was when a car came up right alongside me, a man leaned out and seemed to try and grab me while yelling "HEY B****!!!" I wasn't sure what to do, so I kept going and thankfully another car came up, so he had to go back in his lane.
I've had people make offers for me to sell my body, as if I were on auction. I've had people call me names, whistle, etc. In one walk I could have four incidents. I stopped walking to church, because it got too uncomfortable and someone would follow me consistently.
When I go out with my male friend, it is so NICE not to have the comments or be on guard as much. I was shocked the first time walking around the city with him how NO ONE tired anything. It makes me want to have an escort all the time. Which is extremely sad.
I've become to expect the harassment, and am pleasantly surprised when I don't receive any. However, most of the time I get at least some. I don't even bring up all the incidents to people, cause I know they will think they aren't a big deal, but they ARE a big deal.
I wish I knew of a SAFE way of telling the jerks that it is NOT okay. However, I try not to engage, because I don't want it to escalate.

While I was exploring BaoBao Bakery in Chinatown in broad daylight with friends, a middle-aged elderly man groped my butt twice in the middle of the store, first as a "tester" brush to see how I would react and then a later, stronger touch when my confusion at the first contact did not result in negative consequences. At the time, I was not sure whether the crowdedness of the store was what had caused the touches and whether they had been honest mistakes. Looking back, though, I realized the man could have easily grabbed the breads without touching my butt the way he did.
Instead of suffering in silence, I have decided to Hollaback! by posting this story. I had not taken a picture of my harasser but wish I did. This incident happened in Boston Chinatown, and I am not sure if the man spoke English. I don't think potential language barriers should prevent women from hollering back – in whatever language they choose – and publicly denouncing their harassers for their behavior. If anything like this happens again, I will not hesitate to Hollaback!
Note: BaoBao Bakery does not deserve special blame. It merely was the location I was in at the time of this incident.

I was coming home from a lovely evening with a friend last night, riding my bike west-ward on Ontario towards the deMaisonneuve bike-path and I was waiting at the red light right in front of Katacombes. So i'm sitting on my bike, and this entitled DICK-BRAIN LOSER casually walks by me and gropes my ass, completely unceremoniously without saying anything, so I shove him off, and start swearing at him profusely… So this complete and utter piece of shit of a human being backs off a bit, then grins at me, then comes back forward and FLICKS MY BOOB and stumbles backwards again, still smiling, while i'm literally imploding with wrath.
I really wanted to get off my bike and do something, punch him, kick him, spit at him, scare him and get that fucking smile off his face but decided that I didn't want to leave my bike unattended / put myself at risk / bother with such a pathethetic dipshit no-life stinky butt slug… ARGGGHHH TIMES INFINITY!!!!!

We're all taught that we should at least feel safe at home. If we buy a home or rent a house, that property should be our haven, a place to live and relax.
Yesterday, I was taking advantage of that. As I was transferring seedlings into pots, a guy who was new to the neighborhood passed by, and we exchanged hellos.
Later, while I was reading in the sunshine, the same guy came around again, struck up a conversation. He was very polite, up until the point he grabbed my rear end.
I stepped back, said, "NOPE. OFF." and pointed towards the sidewalk.
I think that reaction startled him, because he initially stepped back in a hurry. Apologizing profusely, he shuffled off, looking back at me as if he wanted to try continuing the conversation.
My glare told him just how likely that was going to be.
It's not the first time something like this has happened to me, and it's not the worst thing, either. However, it still left me feeling violated, angry and helpless.
After about an hour of stewing, I called the non-emergency phone number for the police. He wasn't in sight anymore, and I only felt threatened by the uncertainty of "What if he comes back? What if he decides to try something else?"
I gave his description, told the operator what had happened and where the guy had told me he lives. Because I wanted to file a formal complaint, they sent a pair of officers over.
Since it wasn't an emergency, it took a few hours for the cops to get here. That's fine. Far worse things happen every day in this city. The two who showed up were a pair of young men.
Most police have a reputation of not taking sexual crimes seriously, and since this one was comparatively minor, I didn't expect anything more than I got.
After I told my story, the one officer said with a laugh, "And you expect this guy to become a serial grabber?"
Straight faced, I replied, "No, but you know as well as I do that this type of behavior can escalate."
At another point, he told me that other guys would have stayed and argued. To that, I let him know that, yes. I know that, too. It's happened to me before, but I never made a report, because I didn't think anything would happen.
His last try at minimizing the situation was, "Well, at least he knew what he was doing was wrong."
If anything, that's worse. If he knew it was wrong, why did he feel confident enough to do it? As a human being, didn't that seem like a bad thing to him? How would he feel if it happened to a woman he cared about? How would he feel if it happened to him?
When they finally decided to take me seriously, they asked if I wanted a restraining order, which really, is all they could offer at this point.
I declined, since that was the first, and hopefully last, time I've ever interacted with that particular guy. If he does try giving me trouble, I will get one and I will keep a record of what he does. They told me that the fact they showed up would help my case if I have to take further action.
I felt a little foolish calling the cops on such a minor event, at first. The worst that's happening on a personal level is a little more paranoia and anger on my part. I wasn't physically hurt, and I haven't seen the guy again since then.
The more I think about it, though, the better I feel about getting this on file. Harassment, whether that entails groping or anything else, is part of why things like rape and other forms of assault are so under reported.
Our culture has normalized that behavior to the point where victims are just expected to stand helplessly by.
I, personally, am sick of it. No, I'm not going to call the authorities every time some jerk whistles at me from the street or flirts lewdly with me in passing. If I did, I'd be on the phone almost every time I left the house.
What I am going to do is share my stories with anyone who wants to listen. When someone tries to get physical with me against my will again, I will make another report, and do whatever's needed to get out of that situation.
Sadly, I say "when," because there's no "if" about it.
Moral of the story?
Don't be afraid to say no, and if you can, report the incident to the authorities. Even if nothing happens in the long term, there will be a written record of the event and it will add up. Hopefully, that will amount to some change for the better.

When i was 17 i took driving lessons and my instructor tried to grope me every single day. He used to take me to dark lanes to teach driving.
Initially i thought 'its just in my head,' but as the days passed by he started to be very obvious making me uncomfortable. One day when he tried to slip his fingers in my top, i held his hand and yelled at him and asked him not to do so.It took me a whole lot of courage to say anything to him.
This is when he got a bit aggressive and came on to me, uplifted my top and assaulted me.The only reason he stopped was because i screeched and made noise.
Next day i discussed this matter with my best friend and we decided to report against him in the driving school. The authorities were shocked and handed him over to the cops.
I really wish i would have reported him initially but it takes a lot of courage to do something like that specially when you know that people are gonna judge you too.
i'm happy that my best friend supported me in this decision and stood by my side.

Publisher's Description
General editor Lloyd J. Ogilvie brings together a team of skilled and exceptional communicators to blend sound scholarship with life-related illustrations.
The design for the Preacher's Commentary gives the reader an overall outline of each book of the Bible. Following the introduction, which reveals the author's approach and salient background on the book, each chapter of the commentary provides the Scripture to be exposited. The New King James Bible has been chosen for the Preacher's Commentary because it combines with integrity the beauty of language, underlying Hebrew and Greek textual basis, and thought-flow of the 1611 King James Version, while replacing obsolete verb forms and other archaisms with their everyday contemporary counterparts for greater readability. Reverence for God is preserved in the capitalization of all pronouns referring to the Father, Son, or Holy Spirit. Readers who are more comfortable with another translation can readily find the parallel passage by means of the chapter and verse reference at the end of each passage being exposited. The paragraphs of exposition combine fresh insights to the Scripture, application, rich illustrative material, and innovative ways of utilizing the vibrant truth for his or her own life and for the challenge of communicating it with vigor and vitality.

Historical Traveler Reviews Four Seasons Hotel Toronto
Great location, room & service
My wife and I went for a romantic weekend. The room, with a balcony and great view was perfect. The staff was great and secured us tickets at the last minute to a show and recommended a great local restaurant. Will stay again if ever in Toronto. The location is great for access to museum, shops and restaurants.
we stayed at the four seasons in september,i have to say this is an outstanding hotel,from the very polite valet to the desk staff and the bellhop,the staff were the most helpful ive ever come across,we had an executive suite,a stunning room with a seperate sitting area and two lovely bathrooms.
the bar and truffles restaurant were just class and spotted one or two celebrities.
if you are going to toronto and you want to be spoiled in luxury,stay at the four seasons.
Was not impressed
I was not impressed with this hotel at all. My husband was invited to stay here for a company reward trip for outstanding performance. I was so excited to go because I heard the Four Seasons was the best. I was so dissappointed. This hotel was old. The rooms were nothing great. No one greeted us when we walked in the door. I had heard the Four Seasons had the best customer service and I didn't see or feel it. There was one tiny gift shop. They had turn down service but there we no chocolates. I just expected more little special touches that I did not see here.
Think Twice
Just returned from 7 nights at this property. Don't stay on the 15th floor as it is musty and outdated. It's an unassuming building/foyer. 2 drinks at the pool were $33! The suite was nicely furnished, the huge bed was ulta comfortable and the service excellent. Great for celeb watching!
Just not quite right
Stayed here a few times, and always found that something was missing. The rooms are okay - bland, but okay. Service is spotty - though found the wait staff in the downstairs bar excellent and friendly (could not say same for rest of staff). If there is a celeb-laden event in town you practically have to go through DNA testing to prove you actually ARE staying in the hotel - and the 'security staff' NEVER apologize for their rudeness.
Other than the celeb spotting potential I'd say this place is very over-rated.
Great place to stay in Toronto
Just returned from a pleasant five-night stay at this hotel. Lovely rooms, great Four Seasons service as one would expect, terrific staff. It was busy with a combination of business and holiday guests and there was no stress on the hotel staff to meet needs. They organized a halfway decent tour of Niagara Falls for me with Grey Lines, nothing out of this world but not bad either. Other than that, I used the pool, restaurant, phone and room and found it a terrific place to stay on my mixed business and personal trip. Negative is that I had requested a smoking room and there were none left in the deluxe category when I arrived at 6 pm and elected a non-smoking room and did not bother to change as they offered to me. It is better for my health that way and I slipped out each morning for a Starbucks and a cigarette, rather than room service breakfast so without realizing it I saved money too and the hotel saw less banquet sales.
Four Seasons for me
My husband and I recently returned from a combined business/vacation trip to Toronto. I had read numerous reviews of the hotel before choosing the Four Seasons over other luxury category hotels in the city. The only thing that might have had some relevance was that the room is definitely not glitzy. However, it is more than adequate in size and the bed is extremely comfortable , particularly the linens and pillows.
Robes and towels were very nice, also.
Service is what the Four Seasons is known for and this hotel did not let us down. We arrived during their busy festival time of year and when they have special dining called 'summerliscious'. (Fixed prices for dinner menus at participating restarurants) Both of the Four Seasons restaurants participated in this program which was nice except you could not get a reservation for Truffles, the Four Seasons signature restaurant even when we were staying five nights.
With some strong complaining, we did finally get a reservation at Truffles and had a beautiful dining experience.
There are so many extra little touches they do such as bringing around a fruit kabob when relaxing by the pool.
Do not miss an opportunity to stay at this hotel if you will accept the fact that the rooms are not as
well appointed as you normally experience with Four Seasons.
Rooms need updating
This has to be the worst four seasons property they have, the rooms are really nothing special, can't really figure out why everyone thinks it is so great, of course the service was excellent, but with regards to the room we might as well have stayed at the holiday inn. i expect more from the four seasons, especially at such prices.
Exceptional in every way
My wife and two children (ages 12 and 15) stayed at the Four Seasons and it was exceptional in every way. Sophisticated elegance throughout the hotel, excellent service, five star dinning (both formal and informal). The outdoor/indoor pool was stunning with a beautiful deck and staff would continually attend to us with moist towels, fruit and complimentary soft drinks. We were pampered in luxury and exceptional service from the moment we arrived untill our departure. Best of all it was reasonably priced through a great package deal we obtained from the hotel. Anyone traveling to Toronto who really wants to be pampered in luxury and exceptional service would be crazy to stay anywhere else, especially given the reasonable rates. We have stayed at the best and highest rated hotels throughout the U.S. and Europe and we consider this hotel to be one of our favorites.
Wonderful Service
My husband and I took our kids (ages 6 and 2) to Toronto for a long weekend getaway and stayed at the Four Seasons. The service was outstanding and they treated our kids like royality. From the personal welcome each received at check-in, the in-room delivery of gingerbread cookies (which they could decorate with icing and candy) and milk, the child size bathrobes, and the decent selection of childerens' pay-per-views made for a very enjoyable family experience. We will definitely stay at the Four Seasons the next time we are in Toronto.

Ending & Starting
... items of her own- she would like to enter at least one apple pie eating contest (speed not quantity) and for those readers who have not seen her destroy a full course meal in the blink of an eye, it would be wise not to bet against her. Given the number of county fairs with apple pie eating, she may be able to fund at least part of our road trip with her winnings. And as a former member of law enforcement community she, of course, wants to see the Dog River Surveillance Bush.
Lets fly away!!
... And we were going to have a BBQ, however the thunder storm and monsoon rains had other ideas! There was ALOT of water! We would be swimming at home if that much water had fallen with our drainage systems! But food cooked in the oven, a glass of vino and the battle was on to stay up as late as poss to beat the 5hr time difference! We didn't do too badly, abt 10pm our time, 3am yours!

What's in a Name?
... about land boat, house on wheels, something in Spanish...Finally, we came up with Casa de Kava, a.k.a CdK. And it stuck.
Why Casa de Kava? My first solo travel adventure was to Guatemala to learn Spanish. I fell in love with Central America and the Spanish language. In Spanish, casa means house. Then, last year, I was lucky enough to travel to Vanuatu and Fiji. In both countries, kava is ...
