I rarely feature ladies watches here at Perpetuelle, but when I do they often seem to be pieces by Jaeger-LeCoultre. In fact, the last time I wrote about a ladies watch was June 18, 2012, and yes it was a Jaeger-LeCoultre. In my book, that definitely says something positive about JLC and ladies watches! Now, to the subject at hand — this Ivy Minute Repeater, part of the JLC 2014 lineup, is a truly stunning watch.
By now you are all no doubt familiar with the Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime 5175R, a $2.2 million masterpiece made in celebration of Patek's 175th anniversary (if not, here you go…). But there was another piece among the anniversary collection that I wanted to highlight: the Chiming Jump Hour 5275P. This is an intriguing watch for more reasons than one, so let's take a closer look shall we.
The 5275P, presented in a classic tonneau-shaped case (39.8 x 47.4 mm, made of platinum), combines three jumping indications with an acoustic indication at the top of every hour. The periphery and the minute circle of the dial, as well as the case flanks are engraved with an intricate floral motif (which, like the ostentatious engraving on the Grandmaster Chime, I am not particularly fond of). The watch has a solid platinum case back with the engraving "PATEK PHILIPPE GENEVE 175e Anniversaire 1839 – 2014".
The small slide for enabling and disabling the hour strike is located at 10 o'clock.
At 12 o'clock, the gold dial features an aperture for the digital hour indication. The minute hand revolves in the off-center minute circle that dominates the top half of the dial. The scale is graduated with black Arabic numerals as well as black minute index dots. The prominent seconds subdial at 6 o'clock has a black railway track scale, black Arabic numerals, and a black nickel-plated Breguet-style hand.
The platinum fold-over clasp bears the engraved inscription "PATEK PHILIPPE 1839 – 2014" as well as an engraved Calatrava cross in the middle. Superb!
The name of the watch tells us that this is a jump hour watch, but in fact it is more than that — all timekeeping functions on the watch are "jump" (rather than "sweep"). A closer look at the Chiming Jump Hour reveals that the seconds hand jumps from one scale marker to the next in one-second steps. As soon as the seconds hand reaches the 60, the minute hand also jumps from one minute marker to the next. And finally, once an hour, the digital display in the aperture at 12 o'clock jumps to the new hour precisely at the same moment when the seconds and minute hands advance. Also at the top of each hour, the Chiming Jump Hour gives a soft chime, thus marking each hour acoustically as well.
These mechanics are achieved in an ingenious way with the new manually wound caliber 32-650 HGS PS movement. During a period of four years, the in-house ateliers developed mechanisms that could not only store the energy needed for the jumping indications but would also synchronize the jumps of the seconds, minutes, and hours with extreme accuracy. Three patent applications were filed for these solutions. Also of note is the use of Patek's Silinvar (a silicon derivative) for some of the components, as described further below.
A most conspicuous part of the caliber is the seconds lever made of Silinvar®, a derivative of silicon. It is connected to a spring which stores the energy of the eight semi-oscillations of the balance that make up one second. The lever engages with a wolf-tooth Silinvar wheel which in turn meshes with the fourth wheel. After every sequence of eight semi-oscillations, the lever is lifted. The wolf-tooth wheel advances by one tooth and moves the fourth wheel by 6 degrees, which causes the seconds hand to jump forward by one second. For more on general jump hour mechanics, see "Did You Know", below.
The watch pays tribute to the Ref. 3969 with a jumping digital hour which was launched in 1989 on the occasion of Patek Philippe's 150th anniversary (side note: compared to the 1989 Ref 3969, you can see just how far Patek has progressed during the past 25 years!).
The Chiming Jump Hour Ref. 5275 is being crafted in a limited anniversary edition of 175 pieces. Price is 310,000 Swiss Francs, or about $350,000 US.
Did You Know?
A Patek Mini-Primer On Jump Hour Watches
In conventional mechanical watches, the hands move continuously in step with the balance. In most watches, it oscillates at a frequency of 21,600 or 28,800 semi-oscillations per hour, corresponding to 6 or 8 oscillations per second. With every semi-oscillation, the balance allows the escape wheel to rotate by one tooth, and this motion is transferred to the hands by the going train. The hands move forward incrementally. The seconds hand makes this cadence apparent, but the stepwise motion of the minute and hour hands is barely discernible.
The Chiming Jump Hour also has a balance, and it performs 8 semi-oscillations per second. However, the energy is not directly transferred to the seconds hand. Instead, it is accumulated in a storage mechanism that only releases it to the fourth wheel when the eighth semi-oscillation takes place. Analogously, the power stored during a time interval of 60 seconds must be delivered to the minute hand instantaneously, and the same process occurs after 60 minutes when the digital hour display needs to be advanced as well. This particular moment involves a handicap: an hour disk is heavier than an hour hand and thus needs more power to move. But even more energy is needed, since a small hammer strikes a gong at the top of every hour. This aptly illustrates that a watch with three jumping indications plus an hour strike is a remarkable accomplishment in energy management.
The first watches made from Hublot "Magic Gold" were presented at Baselworld 2012 in a very limited Big Bang Ferrari edition. 2015 will see an important expansion of the "Magic Gold" family, as Hublot has now decided to produce the Big Bang Unico (its in-house chronograph) with a bezel in Magic Gold. The Hublot Big Bang Unico "Magic Gold" is, well, pure Hublot DNA. The fusion of a revolutionary material – the famous Magic Gold, which is the world's only scratch-resistant gold, certified as 18K and developed by Hublot – and the iconic design of the Big Bang, with a Hublot manufacture chronograph caliber: the UNICO.
I was convinced of the potential of this unusual, distinctly oval form."
-Audemars Piguet Artistic Diretor Octavio Garcia
The oval shape of AP's Millenary design allows for a unique sort of three-dimensional depth such as that found in great architecture, one might suggest. And indeed, the pure form of the Millenary — a simple oval — drew inspiration from the Coliseum in Rome, according to Garcia. That, and earlier models from AP's museum collection. Almost all Audemars Piguet Millenary models showcase on the dial side the intricate and hand-finished inner workings of the watch caliber. In the case of this new Millenary Quadriennium, we are treated to not only a very beautiful and distinctive watch, but also one with very practical mechanics.

Orange Ultralight Medical Bracelet
- Product Review (submitted on May 14, 2013):
- This was the second type of medical bracelet I tried for my 3yrs son. The first one I bought was very bulky and the velcro fasteners wore out within the first two months. I love this bracelet. It is very thin and lightweight, especially for a younger child with smaller wrists. I called the customer help line to learn how to cut the bracelet to fit and they were very helpful. You can't even tell that I cut and melted it. I planned on having my son wear this just when we left the house but he never asks for it to be removed and even sleeps with it on.

Top Pop-Up Shops of 2012 Named
Racked compiled an awesome list of the top pop-up shops of the year. Not surprisingly absent is the Target x Neiman Marcus holiday collaboration pop-up shop. Ones that did make the list? Favorites like Sephora and Warby Parker, plus homemade items from Etsy and charitable causes from 2(X)ist.
Here's a look at Racked's full list:
10. The NFL Pop-Up: For football fans and those who enjoy being around them, the NFL pop-up near Bryant Park was a sports haven, complete with player jerseys, athletic gear, and some weird paraphernalia, like a toaster that would brand your bread with your favorite team's logo.
9. 2(X)IST: This pop-up gets a spot on our list for one very deserving reason: It sprung up a few weeks after Hurricane Sandy and donated 100% of the proceeds of all body-hugging briefs and tees to relief efforts.
8. Horses Cut Shop: The Horses Cut Shop inside of Treasure & Bond was the place this year to get legit graphic tees from local businesses throughout the U.S. So, instead of buying some phony Urban Outfitters tee for a pretend hot dog stand in Tennessee, you could buy a tee from an actual hot dog stand in Tennessee, with a portion of sales going toward those businesses.
7. #Nyancatcity: Yes, the #Nyancity pop-up on Bowery this year was completely dedicated to the Nyan Cat meme. Inside, there were stickers, hoodies, and other Nyan Cat-branded items which, for some reason, included shot glasses.
6. The Etsy Holiday Shop: For the holidays, Etsy set up a a pop-up in Soho and enlisted a string of curators to stock it. Martha Stewart and Tavi were among them, along with NPR contributor Starlee Kine and Advanced Style maven Ilona Smithkin.

Importing is for Pre-Order only? I'm Shocked...
Krayzie's forum posts
JC2-MP, At the moment the Multiplayer is only in Vehicle form you can't see other players on foot. But It is only still in Work in progress.
" There is already a multiplayer mod out there somewhere. Need to try and find it once I'm done withe the story. Rolling with a gang of dudes and blowing stuff up and doing insane stunts should provide endless entertainment. With multiplayer you should be able to multi tether no? "
I had fun with SA-MP and we already know these guys are capable of doing this kind of mod, It looks great as it is now I can't wait till it's finished.
FireFox for me, I've planned to move to Google Chrome I really like the UI and all, But without the two main addons I use. Adblock (Adblock for Chrome doesn't block Ads from downloading only hides them) & NoScript, I'm slowly moving over I use Chrome for some websites but FireFox is still my primary browser.

Quarterback downplays injury Aaron Wilson
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady downplayed the severity of a left knee injury suffered last week, a mild sprain that didn't stop him from completing his first 11 passes against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers days later.
"There are a lot of people at practice that were witnessing," Brady told WEEI, per the Boston Herald. "If that was a Wednesday or Thursday practice during the regular season, you'd probably never hear anything about it. But it's just obviously the nature of Twitter and all that social media and stuff.
"It happens on the practice field. It happens on the game field. You see so many injuries that have happened over the course of this preseason, so football is not for the faint of heart. You get bumps and bruises, and hopefully nothing is too series, and you can just bounce back from it and move on."
Brady said he was never worried about the knee, the same one he had surgically repaired for a torn anterior cruciate ligament during the 2008 season.
"I wouldn't say frightened," Brady said. "You're just wondering what happened because I didn't obviously see anything. You just feel something and then you react. I felt bad it caused more of a media story than it actually was worthy of because I hate to really draw attention in that sort. But we were really just trying to be smart."

Bounce-back season puts Moss on top
Who are the best wide receivers in the game today? Scouts Inc. ranks the top 64.
Originally Published: March 25, 2008By Scouts Inc.
Getty ImagesRandy Moss (left) and T.O. have comparable career stats. Moss has 774 catches for 12,193 yards and 124 TDs. Owens has 882 catches for 13,070 yards and 129 TDs. RANK 'EM.There are so many questions and factors that needed to taken into account in ranking the NFL's top 64 receivers. For example: What kind of numbers would Carolina's Steve Smith put up if he had Tom Brady or Peyton Manning slinging it to him every Sunday instead of Jake Delhomme? And what about Buffalo's Lee Evans, who has never had a proven, consistent QB throwing him the ball?

Hopley warns RFU over stance
ESPNscrum Staff
December 5, 2010

England's stance on not selecting players based abroad could be against European law, according to Rugby Players' Association chief executive Damian Hopley.
Hopley broadly supports the Rugby Football Union's move to bring England players of all levels under their control in the build-up to the 2015 World Cup on home soil. But he is concerned that players' earning potential will be hit if they have to turn their back on the possibility of lucrative contracts with French Top 14 clubs.
Hopley said, "Clearly we want the best players to be available to play for England but this approach could be seen as somewhat heavy-handed. I understand the intentions behind the approach but there are a lot of people in the game who are nervous about the execution and practice of what is being requested.
"I am sure the stance is eminently challengable if a party wanted to take it further. We all have to be realistic about EU legislation and if there is a restraint on a player it goes to the heart of freedom of movement for our members. We will be taking legal advice once we see the letter (sent to players by RFU chief executive John Steele) but I have no doubt if there was an appetite by an agent or a player to consider challenging this they would be on strong ground.
"Players will now be forced to make some very big decisions about their careers far sooner than some may have anticipated. Clearly everyone wants to play at the top of their capability, which means representing England. My personal fear is that it will force the hand of quite a few people, but it will ultimately be down to individual choice."
Jonny Wilkinson and James Haskell are both out of contract at the end of this season. If they choose to continue playing in France, they could be signalling the end of their international careers. Similarly, Sale prop Andrew Sheridan may now think twice about his proposed move to a Top 14 club because of the potential repercussions on his England future.
The RFU, who believe the move gives England the best chance of winning the 2015 World Cup, left themselves the option of selecting an overseas-based player under undefined "exceptional circumstances". Hopley would not want to see a player mount a legal challenge because the RPA recognise, along with the RFU and the clubs, how important a strong Premiership is.
"In the spirit of responsible collectivity we want to do what is best for English rugby and we recognise having our best English players based in the Aviva Premiership and having strong Heineken Cup squads is best for English rugby and ultimately England," he said. "We unequivocally support making the Premiership the best in world but we can't look at it in isolation. Players have to be mindful they are one injury away from ending their careers. They need to be maximising their earning potential in an environment that benefits both their rugby and post rugby careers."
Hopley suggested one longer term solution would be to consider an increase in the salary cap from its current level of £4million, which is around half the amount available to France's Top 14 clubs.
"We have to look at all things in the round including the salary cap so we can compete financially and holistically to make ourselves more attractive," said Hopley. "We have to look at how we operate as an industry and the entire offering for our players to ensure we make retaining our top players a priority."

Texas senator responds to show's portrayal of a massacre at one of his fundraisers
Sen. Ted Cruz made an unwitting cameo on "True Blood" Sunday when the show portrayed vampires killing people who attended one of his fundraisers. The potential 2016 Republican presidential candidate offered his review on Facebook Tuesday, and it isn't going to help the show's score on Metacritic.
The episode featured vampires insulting attendees at a fundraiser at the George W. Bush Presidential Library. A massacre ensues.
Also read: 'True Blood' Goes Political Again, Shoots Up Ted Cruz Republican Event (Video)
"Of all the places I never thought to be mentioned, HBO's 'True Blood' vampire show would have to be near the top of the list," Cruz wrote. "Sunday night, they aired a misogynist and profanity-ridden episode where Texas Republicans are murdered attending a 'Ted Cruz fundraiser.'"
"Well, I'm sorry to have lost the vampire vote, but am astonished (and amused) that HBO is suggesting that hard-core leftists are blood-sucking fiends…." he added.
Also read: Anna Paquin Confirms 'Heads Will Roll' in 'True Blood's' Final Episodes (Video)
Soon after, he tweeted: "Then again, I guess I never had a chance w/ the vampire vote since the dead tend to vote overwhelmingly for Dems."

MONDAY, Feb. 13 (HealthDay News) -- Obese teenagers in the upper range of normal glucose tolerance exhibit impairments in insulin sensitivity and secretion associated with development of impaired glucose tolerance, according to a study published online Feb. 7 in Diabetes.
Cosimo Giannini, M.D., from the Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Conn., and colleagues examined insulin secretion and sensitivity in 60 obese adolescents whose two-hour post-oral glucose tolerances were within the normal range (divided into three groups: <100, 100 to 119, and 120 to 139 mg/dL) and in 21 obese adolescents with impaired glucose tolerance. Glucose tolerance was re-examined after two years.
The researchers found that insulin sensitivity, first-phase insulin secretion, and the disposition index decreased significantly in all three groups in the normal range, but were similar in the highest normal glucose tolerance group and the impaired glucose tolerance group. Second-phase insulin secretion was similar in all groups. The best predictors of two-hour glucose tolerance after two years were age and the disposition index.
"In obese youth classified as normal glucose tolerance but with two-hour glucose levels in the higher range, reduced β-cell function relative to insulin sensitivity has already developed, increasing the future risk of impaired glucose tolerance," Giannini and colleagues write.

Why does Labour keep talking up the BNP?
Why do Labour politicians keep banging on about the BNP? The only thing keeping the fascist dunderheads in business is all the free publicity. Look at the statistics: the BNP holds 0.4 per cent of council seats, and 0 per cent of parliametary seats. Yet it is constantly on the front pages because Harriet Harman and Tessa Jowell and John Cruddas and Ken Livingstone keep telling people not to vote for it.
Why might people vote BNP? In a few cases because they dislike those whose skins are darker than theirs. In a few more because they are attracted by the party's Left-wing populism: subsidies for heavy industry, nationalisation, workers' co-operatives, external tariffs. In most cases, though, voting BNP is an inchoate howl of rage against the system. Many voters see MPs as a self-serving elite. Every time they hear those MPs say "Whatever you do, don't vote BNP", a little part of them says: "OK, if that's the thing you creeps are most frightened of, that's what I'll bloody well do".
In the long term, there needs to be a structural overhaul of our parliamentary system: not simply a reform of MPs' expenses (though that would be a start), but a wholesale shift in power from the executive to the legislature. MPs will become authoritative when they recover their sovereignty; they will be respected when they can again deliver meaningful improvements in their constituents' lives. In the short term, MPs should simply shut up about the BNP. For the sake of indulging their student union anti-Nazi fantasies, they risk bringing about precisely the outcome they purport to fear.

On Tuesday, November 4, 2014, Piqua voters gave resounding 60% approval for an increase of 0.25% in the Public Safety Levy. The increased levy funding will enable the city to maintain the existing six (6) Firefighter/Paramedics currently funded under the federal SAFER Grant and add an additional five (5) Police Officers.
The approval by Piqua citizens ensures that we will be able to continue providing outstanding service and response for firefighting and emergency medical services and begin to tackle the significant crime and drug use within the community. This vote of confidence begins us on a very positive track for the future.
Thank you for trusting in your Police and Fire Departments and city government to make good use of your hard earned dollars. We will make every effort to make you proud with positive results.

Cloud computing is a rather powerful tool that allows even the smallest of businesses to provide an enterprise class environment for web applications. In a nutshell, the cloud is nothing more than the ability to rent computer services on demand from a 3rd party provider. At MioWorks.com we use Amazon Web Services, but there are several other services out there for you to explore.
Mastering the cloud takes a bit of work, a dash of experience and an openness to learn from others. But once you do master it, the benefits are tremendous. You'll never have to order another server or rent a rack in a data center. You'll be able to fluidly control your environment by increasing and decreasing the services you need on the fly, saving time and money.
This power, flexibility and potential demands that you pay attention to the details. You must anticipate that the cloud can have hiccups and that as quickly as a server comes to life, that server can disappear. In previous blog posts I've already talked about the importance of backups and recovery drills, but let's take a step back. Today let's talk about monitoring and how important it is to your survival.
Ok I'll bite, why is monitoring so important
Let me sum this up in a single sentence: Monitoring can be the difference between "whew that was close" and "holy s$%t we are down". I lied - I need another sentence… Monitoring can also be the difference between a five minute outage and a five hour outage.
What to monitor
Every web based application environment in the cloud is a jigsaw puzzle of pieces. At the core you have your virtual hardware followed by your operating system. Each of your servers is then configured differently depending on its specific duty. You may have application servers, web servers, search servers, database servers and the list goes on. Each of these servers needs to be monitored from several points of view - both internally and externally.
Internal Monitoring
The big question isn't "Is the server running?" it should be "Is the server and all of its pieces running correctly? Each virtual server in your setup is a maze of processes, files, directories and file systems. At any given time a hiccup can occur within this delicate environment that will eventually disrupt the end user's ability to use your service. In our environment we use monit and munin (two open source tools) on the inside to provide us with critical monitoring, recovery & trending capabilities.
Monit provides systems monitoring and error recovery for our Unix systems. In our environment we have configured monit to watch dozens of potential failure points. Monit can start a process if it is not running and can kill/restart a process if it takes too many resources. Monit is also configurable as an intrusion detection system by watching for changes in files, directories and file systems. By spending a little time learning and using Monit your system administrator has a great tool to keep a constant eye on all the pieces of the puzzle.
In addition to the direct monitoring and error recovery system, we also like to see the bigger picture. We use Munin to aggregate information across our server pool. Munin provides a graphical view that allows your team to quickly see what's different from yesterday. You can quickly determine your resource utlization and plan in ADVANCE any increase of capacity.
From the outside
Keeping track of all the pieces inside the cloud is very important, but you also need to know how your environment in the cloud is performing to the outside world. There are more external monitoring services out there than I can count. But I'll tell you who we use. Our favorite at the moment is monitis.com. We like them because starting at just $10/month you get on demand fault & performance monitoring for your environment. This external watchdog system helps to keep everyone informed if/when the cloud is having issues. It also provides us with important statistics on response time and application performance that we use to determine how to adjust our infrastructure.
Continuous improvement
Your monitoring program must become a living, breathing element of your systems administration. As new problems arise or potential problems are identified, the monitoring system must be adjusted to be proactive. The good news is that the more you adjust your monitoring and error recovery system, the less you'll be surprised in the future. It takes discipline to post mortem each problem and determine how to proactively detect for it in the future. And this discipline will distinguish your application in the frenzy of the cloud.
Real world results of a good monitoring program
In the real world your monitoring system can be the difference between keeping your systems alive and thriving OR having unhappy customers and missed SLAs. It can help you pinpoint exactly what went wrong and reduce the time it takes for the first responders to identify and solve the issue. There are lots of solutions in the marketplace including commerical and open source alternatives. It may seem overwhelming at first, but once you start the process and improve little by little, you'll be amazed at the positive impact your monitoring program will have on your environment stability and your ability to get some sleep.
