I'll be very interested to see how these consoles do assuming Sony announce a similar price point. At this stage I really don't see anything worth spending that amount of money on for either, maybe in a years time. If I don't see anything short of a literal tonne of great games released I really don't see the appeal.
However the argument that compares the price of the technology within the console to the price they're asking is irrelevant as far as I'm concerned, if it doesn't offer you anything radically different to the 'PC' you have now (and play all the time with friends) in terms of games and experiences then really what is it worth. That is to say nothing of the compromises they are asking of the player in comparison to what they are getting now.
Let yo cash money do the talking it's the language of business.

Just how many of those games were exclusive? My PC is pretty good and I would much rather play all those games on that or even a PS4. The question remains whether it will be cheaper than the PS4 or not because all sources seem to suggest that it has the advantage hardware-wise (just how much of an advantage is debatable) And if people can get those games on a console that is cheaper, running them better and doesn't need a paid subscription for multiplayer...... I can't see many people choosing the Xbone.
Urm, no thanks.
Just the facts:
$399USD - Xbox 360 Launch price in 2005
$475USD - Equivalent price in 2013 allowing for 19.1% cumulative inflation
Unemployment rate in the US in 2005 roughly 6% (compared to current estimates of 7.5% today)
$499 = monthly rent payment for a no frills apartment outside of most major city centers.
$499 = 1 month's groceries for a small family
$499 = entry model iPad
$499 = 8 full price current gen games
$499 = 48 hours at minimum wage job in San Francisco
$499 = 5 months worth of iPhone unlimited data plan.
$499 = 100 Pepperoni P'zones from Pizza Hut
$499 = the announced price of the PS4 in a few hours
My thoughts: $500 in it's own right as a monetary value (and equivalent value in P'zones) is a lot. Relative to the value of a high-end gaming platform of today and based on the value of components alone it's more than fair. Relative to it's value long term over the course of 6 to 8 years it seems arbitrary to contest the price would make any more sense $50 or even $100 cheaper.
Yeah, tend to agree. Arguing that it would make more sense at $449 or even $399 or whatever the pre-E3 estimates were isn't really that far off of what it is finally priced at. The hardcore people will always pay that early adopter premium and moms that wanted to buy it for their kids will always wait a bit.
I will be in the UK at the time of its launch and I'll probably fork over the higher price simply to play games. Who needs rent when you have Halo 5 and Call of Duty: Ghosts.... (cough, cough). I guess Ryse and Dead Rising 3 might be worth it.
$499.99 for the console and around $60.00 to "rent" a game on a console that I can't play if I'm deployed to the desert?
Oh YEAH! Sign me up!!!! (rollseyes)
499 euro and 429 pounds? What the fuck microsoft?(I'm a PC gamer and won't buy any of the consoles and don't really care buuuut).
Why are they fucking europe so badly? maybe they know they won't win the battle with sony in europe and to be profitable they need to sell it for 600$, but they'll take a hit in the US because they're confident on selling at least 2 games on it.
(lol I hope I made my idea easy to understand but english is not my first language so I don't know if ppl know wtf I'm saying)
Conference wasn't bad, still don't like the price tag of the box and i don't like MS choices about rights management, that's one thing they cannot change even if they show me one godly game after another.
I hardly manage to justify paying for a newly released game, i usually only do that for big titles that i know will pay for themselves like stuff from Bethesda or Bioware, the rest i pretty much buy used from e-bay or new but heavily discounted because old... I don't feel the Xbone would be friendly to my wallet, and my lifestyle (as in paying bills, doing the groceries, etcetera).
I paid $600 for a wifi only 32GB iPad. I think I'm ok paying $500 for an XBO
and about using real currency on the shop.... i just hope they get their conversions right (...)
@silenceuk: it's not fair that the pubs get a cut of used game sales if they want to now. No other industry gets that pleasure what makes them so special? This whole thing goes against first sale doctrine. If they can't figure out how to make money to damn bad they deserve to burn for it.
@oddballs: It almost certainly will, at least it will piss me off less because I wouldn't be paying more for a console with significantly less features in my region. It will still be shite though...
I paid $600 for a wifi only 32GB iPad. I think I'm ok paying $500 for an XBO
Heeeeeey new frieeeend. My birthday is coming up in 4 months. Just throwing that out there.

LOL! Well it's going to take me all year to save up now XD and I think Xbone will miss your birthday, sorry duder ;)
I found it to be a underwhelming Conference with no substance especially considering all their reveals will have their best versions on the PS4.
Overall, I have to say the Xbone is looking pretty awesome. There were a lot of very cool games and $500 is actually pretty reasonable when you compare it to what we paid for consoles last generation. Excited for Sony's press conference now.
Why is there so much hate on Twitter for Sony?

Lets say you were going to put together a living room PC with a $500.00 budget. Would it be comparable to the hardware capabilities that Microsoft is offering?
Probably somewhat comparable at launch, with the $500 PC being slightly worse performance wise.
But look at something like Halo 3 vs. Halo 4. As the console gets more and more development time and more optimized engines, it will blow the shit out of any current PC in the $500-800 dollar range. Obviously the PC has the ability to be upgraded, but that's the way it always works.
There was this article where PC Gamer puts together a rig equal to the speculative PS4. It costs $600 bucks.
Honestly, though, since these new systems are basically PC's in and of themselves, I have a feeling that the "optimized engines" are going to favor PC's just about as well as Xbox One/PS4's. Obviously, this won't be the case with your Halos or Uncharteds, but those are first-party games, and if they're what you're after, you should definitely just get the requisite console.
Keep in mind that you cannot directly correlate specs on a console to those on a PC. That article is good for showing that Sony is taking a bit of a loss on the PS4's production (although supply lines and producing in bulk will negate some portion of that $200 difference).
But a computer has overhead a console won't. While obviously the consoles have their own custom operating systems, they are designed for the hardware. Compared to something like Windows or OSX, they will take barely any resources at all, and it's a known quantity that is developed around on consoles. On PCs you have things like Steam, Skype, Dropbox, Chrome, or any other number of programs and services sapping away at system resources. Granted, as processors and RAM become faster and cheaper, those become less and less of an issue, but even the most barebones gaming PC is going to have system overhead that a console wont (or at the very least the console overhead is very deliberately designed for and takes the minimum footprint).
That article also mentions how great it is that PCs can be customized and have a huge number of different choices, but that also can be a huge downfall for PC games. Guess how many games support that TressFX hair tech from AMD? There's Tomb Raider, which was undoubtedly AMD handing Square a pile of money in order to get their logo on the game. What about PhysX? That's much more widely supported, but honestly I have an Nvidia card and I just leave PhysX off in the occasional game that supports it because it's always poorly implemented and the gains aren't worth the performance hit. These are obviously fringe cases, but even down to the architecture video card and processors themselves, it's much, much harder to properly optimize a game when there are more or less and infinite number of combinations of different hardware in a PC. Add in the fact that PC games need to have various levels of detail that all need to be tested for so that those with crappier computers don't get (too) shafted, and PC games are never going to take full advantage of the hardware they are given. Even something like Crysis, which was a PC exclusive designed with the express intent of being for the highest end cards of the time ran like crap on them, and even with my 680 and 3570K, I can't play that first game with AA at 60 FPS.
Compare that to this last generation of consoles. The Xbox 360 has 512 MB of RAM. That's for system AND graphics. Even a midrange PC today would have a MINIMUM of 4GB of system memory (and 8GB is crazy cheap) and only the cheapest video cards have less than a gig of their own. The CPU is harder to compare to a PC, but it's safe to safe that the 360's CPU is at most on par with (and likely worse than) a Core 2 Duo, an ancient architecture at this point. The video card roughly equivalent to a 7800GTX, which ironically is a card that I owned - and have upgraded four times since. But then look at the last couple years of 360 games. Say what you will about Gears 3 or Halo 4, but those are beautiful games. Yes, they run at 720p, and yes, they hit a maximum of 30FPS, but that hardware is ANCIENT, and it is still astonishing to me that those games don't just cause the console to implode in on itself. But those engines had nearly a decade to get ironed out, and every trick and nuance of the hardware was known and could be exploited to it's fullest. The same is obviously true of the PS3 (if not more so), but that's much harder of a comparison to make given that the Cell cannot be directly compared to PC components of the time.
To be clear, I identify primarily as a PC gamer, and if you can afford it, you will always get better visuals on a PC than on a console, even at launch. But if we are talking about a mid-range PC, that advantage is going to be negligible, and you will need to make significant upgrades every couple of years just in order to keep pace with the advancement that will be made on simply through optimization on static console hardware. Yes, the convergence of PC-like hardware in the One and PS4 will make the split less noticeable and result in better PC ports, but it is always easier to hit a stationary target that a moving one - even if that moving one happens to get bigger as time goes on.
tl;dr: Console specs =/= PC specs, from a pure hardware perspective consoles will be significantly cheaper long-run versus a comparably powerful PC.
"Drivatar" is actually not a new feature so much as a feature from the original Forza Motorsport that I thought was kind of cool and was baffled by the fact that it never made it into any of the 360 games. I think the fact they were touting it as something that required the next-generation was kind of a misnomer, I mean the "Cloud" is not really next gen but sure whatever.
Between this and Battlefield getting the Commander mode back it was a good day for 2005 features being introduced as Next-Gen features.
Microsoft is going to lose again in Europe and Asia, especially so given their more-expensive console littered with features that European gamers probably don't care about. Microsoft needs to make some big changes before the holiday season to stay relevant; not only is it more expensive and less-geared towards the hardcore crowd (who are the day-one purchasers), it also stands in stark contrast to the PS4's consumer-focused nature. Last-gen, there weren't terribly many differences between the two consoles, but if Microsoft really thinks their selling point is TV integration, they're living in the 90s.
I'm not going to defend everything Microsoft is doing. I'm sure they have their reasons - most likely to court developers so they can stop paying money for exclusives. Over the last couple months I've thought about it, and while I like a lot about both systems, I'll go for the Xbox. The DRM stuff isn't any worse than Steam in terms of "you only pay for the privilege of downloading this game, you don't own it". I know it's not terribly consumer friendly. I think my wife and I will have fun with the new Kinect, especially since we finally have a living room big enough. I love Forza, and I'm not so big on GT5. Blah, blah, reasons, reasons.
I know the PS4 is $100 cheaper, but why doesn't anybody mention that the PS4 doesn't come with the Playstation Eye? I know that not everybody is excited about Kinect, but after you spend the $60 for a Playstation Eye, the price (on hardware alone) isn't so divergent.
I get why people are upset, and they can certainly be upset if they want to. But the headline saying "a lot" is sort of misleading - $500 for what you're getting really isn't that bad.
I am honestly pretty intrigued by Quantum Break, it looks pretty good. I hope it will be released for the PC afterwards like Alan Wake. That aside, holy hell I can't believe a Swery65 game would be unveiled in an event like this. That is awesome.
Also, I wonder if the blandness of Fuse was a result of Insomniac not caring so much about the project after being forced to change the direction from fun to serious and focused their attention on Sunset Overdrive?
So after waiting 17 years for a sequal to Killer Insinct what do I get? I get a game that can't be used in tournaments becouse orginzies wil not be a able to admin the game due to the DRM 24 hrs offline lock-out witch bricks your console. Instaed of getting new Rere games from one of there many Intellectual propertys, we get one Rere game and a rushed demo and short triler. After over a decade of Rere been owned by MS we get "me too" we sports copys, a missed guided Banjo Kazooie game, a Perfect Dark game with out the talent. I geuss it more avatar duty for my ex favorite games company. Time get the old N64 out that wont switch itself off after 24 hrs "sigh" after RRD and DRM crap they not getting my money.
I'm saddened by the fact that I thought Microsoft did good delivering on their "games at E3" promise. Because as long as they insist on siding with "participating retailers" and publishers over consumers, I'm not buying the console those games are exclusive to. I definitely would've been on board, but no, they decided to push me away with their shitty policies and restrictions.
@vibratingdonkey: But isn't what they're doing for the publishers? That they're bringing the money back to them instead of the retailers? I could be wrong about this.
funny thing is my year and a half old pc is still more powerful than the ps4 in all aspects...lol
with that said im still getting a ps4 for the exclusives....but in reality all those supposed mind blowing graphics are already on the pc, its just that most dev's have been waiting to release these next gen games on consoles along with the pc
@graf1k: I'm interested in hearing your opinion on the console race now that Sony has revealed its DRM strategy (or lack thereof). Not trying to sound divisive or anything, I'm genuinely interested.
I posted in the PS4 pricing story about it, but the comments last night were so fast and furious I'm sure it's lost to the ether, but basically my overwhelming feeling is I couldn't be more happy to have been wrong. I honestly approached the situation that if MS was doing it, Sony HAD to be doing it to and thus, it's just back to who has the games I'm most interested in which, even now, exclusive wise for me is still Microsoft. That said, now that we are given the option of a console with DRM and one without, the exclusives Microsoft has are no longer enough to sway me to their side, ESPECIALLY with the PS4 being $100 less. I immediately pre-ordered a PS4 last night and while I haven't cancelled my Xbone preorder yet, I fully expect to if Microsoft doesn't do a massive mea culpa and ditch the always on and DRM.
Approaching the situation, as I did, that this new type of DRM was an inevitability, while not being happy about it at all, I was willing to grudgingly accept it because there will always be some console exclusives keeping me from going PC-only. That, and I have at least one group of friends I game with that just aren't going to be giving up consoles any time soon. But now that we know this was clearly and a choice on Microsoft's part either to implement this DRM, or to accept it while Sony didn't, I'm a lot more offended by the existence of this DRM and always online than I would have been if it was ubiquitous across both consoles. I have a lot of respect for Sony for this move, whether or not it was shrewd business or love of their consumers on their part, the net result is the same. I'm still not sure if Microsoft will back peddle and dump the always on and DRM, but that fact that Sony is forcing them to consider it right now is a service they have done to gamers everywhere.
Please stop Alex from reviewing E3
Titanfall is coming to PC. Dark Souls 2 will come to PC. A LOT of MS games will come to PC. I already own one of those (and it already has superior specs to either of these next gen consoles). It will take more than Ryse and a new Halo to make me consider purchasing a X1, and I'm someone who has traditionally owned both Sony and MS consoles since the original PS and Xbox.
I wanted MS to pull out some magic, but I simply can't justify paying for one. And I certainly don't want the Kinect. I think I'll save $500 and walk over to turn on my consoles.
Sony by contrast made me want to run out and pre-order a PS4 immediately.
The price in pounds is the same as what the PS3 launched at in the UK and this whole console launch strikes me as the same hubris Sony had with the PS3
Quantum Break is a 3rd person cover based shooter, according to Sam Lake in an interview with Geoff Keighley.
wow..just wow..that price! I bought the Xbox 360 because it wasn't that expensive. Hearing how they've put in a bunch of crap in the Xbox One console and are charging ~800$ in EU its def a no go. The only game im interested in is Witcher 3 and its not even an exclusive. So i'll be playing my PC exclusivly from now on. Thank you very much Microsoft.
@graf1k: I agree with you 100%. As I stated in another post, I've been an XBox owner for two generations now, but all these decisions that benefit everyone except their core audience are baffling and, frankly, worrisome. It shouldn't have been so difficult for MS to realize they were stepping on a giant turd with these policies. It's insulting and astonishingly arrogant and myopic to think their customers are just going to be fanboys for the XBox no matter what. Here's a clue, guys: we care about games, and whichever platform lets us play the most for the best price and without suffocating our rights as consumer is the one we're gonna pick.
It's weird how $500 is seen as expensive and then everyone lost their shit when the PS4 was $400, as surely that price was just expected? I think they've had alot of time to work on these systems and so it's surprising MS came in high, almost think PS may have crippled themselves cause Xbox can surely do a version without Kinect for the same price and then they'll both be running at a loss? The XB1 is really big though, makes me wonder what else that thing can do?
I plan to wait until next E3 to make a purchase as neither company really seems to know what they're doing.
What did Microsoft have to say about the questioning period after their presentation... wait, are those crickets I hear?

Thread: Who wants to cut some logs?

Who wants to cut some logs?
Located at Yatala, south of Brisbane.
Used to cut logs for the tree lopper who works out of this site. No heads, no mess to clean-up. I have sold my mill and he was wondering if anyone else might be interested. He is a friend of mine plus I only turned up when I travelled north, so our arrangement was very easy going. Mostly we used the timber ourselves or for friends.
You would have to work out your own arrangement with him.
Some of the logs are mango, the big log we believe is a lemon scented gum. Most of the others are various eucs. If you do cut there you will have to be able to accept the fact that some of his workers will cut beautiful tallowwoods into 1m lengths. So if you want to cut stairtreads there is a lot of timber for that as well.
Message me please if interested and I will give you a call.

Hi there - is there anything still left? Little late in replying I know but I just got onto this site. Would be happy to hear from you if there is, also to make the aquaintence of the tree lopper if that's possible for future references. Drop me a reply with a contact number if I'm not too late.

Actor, director, and playwright Matt Cosper, 31, has been affiliated with half a dozen theater companies in Charlotte over the past decade, including Actors Theatre of Charlotte, BareBones Theatre Group, Carolina Actors Studio Theatre, Farm Theatre, Machine Theatre and others. He will direct The Tempest for the Collaborative Theatre Company during the Charlotte Shakespeare Festival beginning Thursday.
Q. In 2010, after a successful run with Machine Theatre, the company went on hiatus and you left Charlotte for almost 19 months. Why?
I lost both my parents during a span of three months and my brother in Portland, Ore., had a child. It was a time for me to be with family and regroup. During my year in Portland I participated in a wonderful observership with Portland Center Stage, directed an Oregon Childrens Theater production of Magic School Bus, and stage managed for an experimental theater group. I also spent several months in New York City working with a group of performers on a nostalgia project based upon the Andrews Sisters.
Q. What is it about good theater that makes the experience so powerful for audiences?
There is a right now immediacy and exchange of energy that goes on between performers and an audience. The shared experience of an engaging production leaves both the performers and the audience feeling as if they have been through a workout. In an increasingly technology heavy world, these shared personal experiences will come to have even more value.
Q. Which of your productions is your favorite?
I did an adaptation of Eugene Ionescos The Lesson with Farm Theatre. It had a great cast, was sharp and really well executed. That was the best thing Ive ever done.
Q. What needs to happen for community theater to thrive?
We have enough buildings. Artists need to be paid a decent wage to be able to live and work here. Artists also need to better communicate with each other and the media with regards to constructive critique and feedback about our work. Artists gravitate toward communities where there work will be challenged and ultimately strengthened.
Q. Whats next for you?
Im directing The Tempest, Machine Theatre is rebooting and we will be performing this summer in Raleigh. There is no shortage of projects to work on.

Meanwhile, Fleming battles internally with his alter ego, Chess, and Orwell (Summer Glau) remains in a dreary state, hinting at an uncertain future.

Sun Life Financial's Valuation And Changing Model Make It RiskyPRO • Ashleigh Rogers • Mon, Sep. 8 • 5 Comments
- Sun Life has a strong position in Canada and other markets which should make it successful over the long-term.
- Recent changes in firm assets add to uncertainty about Sun Life's strategy, but may also lead to higher quality earnings in time.
- The firm's valuation seems excessive at this point though, and despite the positive factors at the firm, investors are better off on the sidelines.

- Payable Dec. 31; for shareholders of record Nov. 26; ex-div Nov. 24.
Wed, Oct. 15, 10:49 AM
- Bank earnings models will no doubt need to be tweaked as the sure thing of higher rates becomes somewhat less sure, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield plunging all the way down to 2%, and 30-day Fed Funds futures - just weeks ago pricing in 100% chance of a rate hike by June 2015 - now sees no move until December 2015.
- The XLF is lower by 1.9% and the Regional Banking ETF (NYSEARCA:KRE) is down 2.1% (the S&P 500 is off a mere 1.1%). Among individual names, KeyCorp (KEY -6.4%), First Bancorp (FBP -6.4%), Regions Financial (RF -4%), U.S. Bancorp (USB -2.2%), Fifth Third (FITB -2.6%), Bank of America (BAC -4%), Citigroup (C -3.3%), JPMorgan (JPM -2.8%), Wells Fargo (WFC -1.9%).

- Life insurers were also waiting on higher rates and they're slipping more than the averages as well. MetLife (MET -3.7%), Prudential (PRU -2.9%), Manulife (MFC -3.5%) Sun Life (SLF -3.4%), Lincoln Financial (LNC -3.9%).
- Insurance ETFs: KIE, IAK, KBWP, KBWI

Thu, Aug. 7, 10:22 AM

- Forward yield 3.50%
- Payable Sept. 30; for shareholders of record Aug. 27; ex-div Aug. 25.
Wed, Aug. 6, 5:17 PM
- Sun Life Financial (NYSE:SLF): Q2 EPS of $0.81 may not be comparable to consensus of $0.72.
- Revenue of $5.7B (+3.4% Y/Y)
- Press Release
Thu, Jun. 26, 7:42 AM
- "[The] business mix shift supports re-emergence of capital allocation," says analyst Chris Giovanni, starting Sun Life Finanical (SLF) with a Buy.
- "Possible upside from Asia, but lingering U.S. exposure leaves us Neutral," he says, also starting coverage on Manulife (MFC).
Thu, May. 15, 8:38 AM
- Scotiabank (BNS) owns 37% of CI Financial (CIFAF) - Canada's largest independent wealth manager - and is looking to "monetize" its investment after a 44% run for CI's stock since the start of 2013 puts the value of its holdings at $3.8B.
- The move seems counter to the bank's emphasis on wealth management - it accounts for 20% of earnings, up from 3% a decade ago - but management says it can sustain that growth with its own AUM, and notes the purchase of the rest of DundeeWealth for $2.3B in 2011.
- There should be plenty of interest among Canadian banks and life insurers who are eager for more wealth management assets. CIBC (CM) is in the running to buy Russell Investments, and SunLife (SLF) and Manulife (MFC) have devoted more of their resources to asset management. One hitch: Scotiabank needs to find more than one buyer as its agreement with CI states it cannot sell more than 20% of the business to one purchaser.
- "This is a crippling decision they made," says CI chairman Bill Holland, calling himself shocked by the move.
Tue, May. 6, 7:29 PM
- Sun Life Financial (SLF): Q1 EPS of $0.74 beats by $0.07.
- Revenue of $6.46M (+70.4% Y/Y).
- Press Release
Tue, May. 6, 5:58 PM
- Sun Life Financial, Inc. (SLF) declares C$0.36/share quarterly dividend, in line with prior.
- Forward yield 3.84%
- Payable June 30; for shareholders of record May 28; ex-div May 23.
Thu, Mar. 20, 10:54 AM
- Much of the financial sector is lit up bright green, continuing to outperform following yesterday's suggestion by the FOMC and Janet Yellen that rate hikes could come sooner than expected. XLF +1.1%, KBE +1.6%, KRE +1.6%.
- At new 52-week or even multi-year highs are JPMorgan (JPM +2.3%), Wells Fargo (WFC +1.7%), Morgan Stanley (MS +1.4%), and Bank of America (BAC +1.6%).
- Regional lenders: U.S. Bancorp (USB +1%), Huntington (HBAN +1.5%), PNC (PNC +1.3%), BB&T (BBT +1.5%), Fifth Third (FITB +1.8%), First Niagara (FNFG +2.1%).
- Leading among the life insurers are Lincoln National (LNC +1.9%), Protective Life (PL +1.6%), Manulife (MFC +1.2%), and Sun Life (SLF +1.1%).
- ETFs: XLF, FAS, FAZ, UYG, KRE, VFH, KBE, IYF, KIE, IAT, SEF, IYG, IAK, FXO, PFI, KBWB, RKH, QABA, FNCL, FINU, KRU, RWW, KBWR, RYF, PSCF, KBWI, KBWP, KRS, FINZ
Wed, Feb. 12, 5:34 PM
- Sun Life Financial, Inc. (SLF) declares C$0.36/share quarterly dividend, in line with prior.
- Payable March 31; for shareholders of record Feb. 28; ex-div Feb. 26.
Wed, Feb. 12, 5:22 PM
- Sun Life Financial, Inc. (SLF): Q4 EPS of $1.05 beats by $0.34.
- Revenue of $4.71B
- Press Release
Mon, Jan. 27, 3:40 PM
- The prospect of higher rates helped the life insurers on their big 2013 run, but - priced in and with rates still pretty low - what's going to be the catalyst going forward? Maybe capital management, namely repurchases, writes Adam Cancryn. Buybacks can be made when convenient and boosts EPS in this slow growth environment, while dividends lock the company into a quarterly payout schedule it may not want to keep.
- Acquisitions? Sector valuations are a lot closer to historical norms now, says Macquarie's Sean Dargan, and a deal might be the way for a company looking to spur growth and attract investor attention. "At the end of the day, you want there to be earnings growth, not just EPS growth due to share repurchase," Dargan says. "If you can't do that organically, I think it makes sense to be acquisitive."
- The bottom line is lower rates fed through (in a negative way) to the bottom line very slowly, and higher rates are going to boost income just as slowly. Performance going forward might be less about industry conditions and more about individual strategic decisions.
- "We started out the year recommending everything," says RayJay's Steven Schwartz. "We're down to four companies, which tells you where my head is at."
- Names of interest: MET, PRU, MFC, SLF, PRI, VOYA, PL, LNC.
Fri, Jan. 3, 7:22 AM
- TD Bank, Scotiabank (BNS), and Manulife (MFC) are started at Buys, and Sun Life Financial (SLF) at a Hold.
- BMO and CIBC also notch Buy ratings.
Dec. 13, 2013, 10:48 AM
- On its third attempt this year, China Everbright Bank finally pulls of its IPO, raising $2.6B in Hong Kong's biggest offering of 2013.
- The pricing of 5.08B shares at HK$3.98 each was about the middle of the expected range, with the bulk of the funds aimed at shoring up the bank's capital position. Cornerstone investors - including Prudential (PRU -0.4%) and Canaa's Sun Life Financial (SLF -0.1%) - took down 67% of the offering.
- Following a three-year drought of Chinese banks going public, Everbright is the 3rd to have an IPO in recent weeks - others are Bank of Chongqing, which raised $546M, and Huishang bank, which raised $1.2B.
- The Global X China Financials ETF (CHIX) is off a hair YTD.

Two year contract trend could reverse by 2011
Policy Counsel
Senior Director of Federal Policy and the Washington Office
We empower consumers through education and action about communication and media issues involving telephone, cable, Internet and wireless services and equipment.
Operators will need to offer extra services to lock in savvy customers, say analysts. Aggressively priced smartphones and up front payments on hardware could see the trend towards two year contracts reversed by 2011. Analyst Gartner says it expects 12 month contracts to return to the norm in two years' time, as consumers move away from Sim-only in improved economic conditions. And there will be more pressure on operators to provide reasonable prices on those 12 month contracts, even on heavily subsidized smartphones.

"We are committed to helping uninsured Southern California fire victims who have lost access to the medicines they need to fight disease and illness," Billy Tauzin, PhRMA president and CEO, said today. "The 'Help is Here Express' will be traveling throughout the areas devastated by wildfires. We want to do our part by including a way for patient assistance programs to provide expedited assistance to patients in obtaining their medicines."
The "Help is Here Express" bus traveling through Southern California is equipped with computer terminals and phones and staffed by trained specialists so patients can find out quickly if they may be eligible for free or nearly free medicines. The trained specialists, as well as patients at home who can't make it to the bus, can visit the PPA's easy-to-use Web site (http://www.pparx.org) or call its toll-free phone number (1-888-4PPA-NOW). Operators field calls from patients in 150 languages.
The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) represents the country's leading pharmaceutical research and biotechnology companies, which are devoted to inventing medicines that allow patients to live longer, healthier, and more productive lives. PhRMA companies are leading the way in the search for new cures. PhRMA members alone invested an estimated $43 billion in 2006 in discovering and developing new medicines. Industry-wide research and investment reached a record $55.2 billion in 2006.

Slip on the 686 Men's Times Levi's 3-Ply 514 Pant and bring rodeo to the mountain. This slim-fit, 20K waterproof denim pant keeps you dry in the pow and sludge. When you're riding hard, the 514 Pant breathes easy and keeps the sweat away. With vintage Levi's detailing, you can rock the terrain park all day and ride the mechanical bull all night.

Certified fresh. Crack rock dope. Swag. They are slim but comfortable. Only suggestion is to reinforce the taped seam around the buttoned slits at the base of the legs with stitching as it takes only a little bit of force to tear the tape on the inside of the slits. Sorry if this doesnt make sense to most, but if u own a pair u will know exactly that I'm talkin about. It's a quick fix that anyone with needle and thread or a sewing machine could remedy in a few minutes.

Is there any way that i can Put a pair on reserve? i get paid in a week and dont want them to be sold out when i get paid. Let me know soon!
Sorry brother, we cannot reserve items for customers. But we have a bunch in stock, you should be able to pick up a pair when you get paid.
Edison Sanchez
I just got these in the mail from dog funk and they are insane! the hanger it comes with even has 686 on it!
its real denim they feel VERY durable. I'm 5'10 about 150-160lbs and the Medium fits me PERFECT around the waist with some room (maybe not a huge pair of sweats but definitely some Under Armour). It could use some room in the crotch area as it feels that if i where to do a jumping jack i will tear the pants in half but good thing I'm snowboarding and not doing boot camp. . . I have Nike Vapen Boots and the pants boot can be unbutton to have extra room for the boot and with my Vapens i do need to unbutton the pant boot in order for it to fit. overall they feel SUPER warm (its August here in MD so cant really put them to the test as its 95 degrees out) but i say BEST BUY SO FAR!. (hope this helps)
BTW they look like TRUE Levi jeans!

Anyone can tell me how these feel without insulation? do you get a case of swamp ass?
Edison Sanchez
Hey i just got them (check out the review) and these DO have insulation, if you notice in the leg you see a little tab sticking out? that's a zipper for insulation, it sits lower than normal but you will get air in there! BEST buy for $90 considering their $320 pants! i didnt even pay that much for my jacket! lol GET THEM!
so sick
mine just got here
i got a medium and they fit big
they look so real to probably because they are real denim. its worth it to spend the extra money for the 3 ply because they are made with real denim not like the non 3 ply ones. these are the sickest pants i have had by far and sooo waterproof i hopped in the shower with em and still dry
Edison Sanchez
since they are not insulated can you tell me if that bothers you on those long days?

Children's Health
Growth and Development, Ages 11 to 14 Years - What to Expect
Rapidly changing bodies, confusion, excitement, new social situations, and increased reasoning abilities make ages 11 to 14 a thrilling and sometimes challenging time for children and parents. Watching your child gradually mature is an amazing process. It also can be puzzling for parents who may wonder during this transition, "Do I have a child or an adult?" Since neither is the case, you must continually renegotiate your relationship with and learn about your evolving adolescent.
Although each adolescent develops at his or her individual pace, general growth and development patterns can be grouped into four main categories.
Recommended Related to Children
Things that go bump in the night. The bane of Miss Muffet's existence. A teacher's harsh rebuke. What do they all have in common? Plenty: They're all typical childhood anxieties and fears. Nothing to worry (too much) about. But try telling that to your child! As a parent, you can make a big difference in how well your child handles common worries like these. Here are a few ideas that may help. The Many Sides of a Child's Fears Not all fear is bad. In fact, a little fear serves as an...
Read the Childhood Fears and Anxieties article > >
- Physical development. Growth spurts occur during the adolescent years, starting at about age 11 in girls and at about age 13 in boys. This rapid growth usually precedes or accompanies puberty, when sex characteristics begin to develop. It is important to reassure your child that his or her physical development is okay, regardless of whether the changes of puberty seem to be occurring earlier or later than average.
- Cognitive development. This is the process by which the brain develops the abilities to think, learn, reason, and remember. Adolescents typically think in concrete ways but are gradually beginning to grasp abstract and symbolic concepts. Although they understand long-term consequences, they often do not accept that they can be personally affected by them. For example, adolescents may know that too much sun exposure can cause premature aging and skin cancer, but many do not accept that this can happen to them.
- Emotional and social development. In trying to establish their individuality, adolescents typically distance themselves from parents and prefer being with friends, hanging out in their rooms or listening to music. It is important to continue to include them in family events even if you meet with resistance. Family activities help adolescents develop a strong sense of self. This is especially important at a time when the emotional and social effects of puberty can impact their self-image.
- Sensory and motor development. Adolescents may be somewhat awkward or clumsy. Their brains need time to adjust to longer limbs and bigger bodies. To help improve coordination and establish healthy habits, encourage regular moderate exercise.

Next on our table was the tiger tear ($5.95), sliced beef in lime juice, coriander, and chilies, served cold over greens. We ordered this at level three and wished we hadn't. Only two of us survived.
But as if in a video game, we were all magically reborn to enjoy the "stand-up" chicken ($12.95), a whole roasted game hen staked upright, vegetables at its drumsticks like disciples. This sacrificial chicken was baptized at the table with typical Thai flair -- in flames. We suspect the unfortunate fowl to be the reason our meal took so long to appear (it couldn't have been that River had bigger fish to fry). Thai dishes average less than ten minutes to prepare. But a chicken can take as long as an hour to bake, thus delaying a course. And for the weak-hearted, the cruel presentation can delay the entire meal, permanently. We were thankful we hadn't ordered King of a Little Lake ($13.95) -- frog legs. The possibilities for presenting stir-fried Kermit could prompt animal rights intervention, or at least a protest from Miss Piggy.
Compared with the "stand-up" chicken, our other choices appeared tame. The chicken with asparagus ($8.95) and ginger beef ($7.95) were hardly works of art. But the ingredients were fresh and generous and a soothing contrast to the shrimp curry ($9.95), a spicy red-curry and coconut-milk broth with potatoes and a pineapple twist. A little rum and this could have been one interesting pina colada.

As to be expected, the noodle dishes garnered the most praise. Though a bit soupier than I prefer, the pad Thai ($5.95), practically the national dish of Thailand, moved faster around the table than it probably did in the wok. With the exceptions of lemon grass and coconut, pad Thai combines the flavors that most characterize Thai cuisine -- fish sauce, peanuts, dried shrimp, garlic, chili powder, and coriander.
Pad see eiew ($7.95), a variation on a theme, used sen lek (medium flat rice noodles) as a base. Topped with a variety of meats -- chicken, beef, and pork -- as well as broccoli and bean sprouts, this dish could be a satisfying meal in itself, and perhaps should have been. Because noodle plates rarely reside more than two or three minutes over fire, we would have been assured of a meal that was not a marathon, and a postprandial mood that was not impatience. But by then we had cast our bread upon the waters.
SIAM RIVER 3455 NE 163rd St., N. Miami Beach; 945-8079. Lunch Monday -- Saturday from noon until 2:30 p.m. Dinner every night from 5:00 until 11:00 p.m.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Authorities say a body found near a Northern California park last week is that of a missing federal investigator.
Oakland police on Tuesday identified the remains as those of 50-year-old Sandra Coke of Oakland.
Search and rescue crews found the body Friday afternoon in a woodsy area near Lagoon Valley Park in unincorporated Vacaville.
Coke worked as a capital case investigator for the federal public defender's office in Sacramento. She was last seen in Oakland days earlier.
Oakland police have identified Coke's former boyfriend, Randy Alana, as a person of interest in the case. Police say he and Coke were seen together Aug. 4.

I cant see how for me Demons could even come close if it was not open world.
To see a game bring back walking everywhere... was INCREDIBLE. In todays world of slack ass lazy gamers who have a tantrum if they cant fast travel absolutely everywhere (bloody skyrim -_-)
Of course having said that I am not that much better, now that I have been spoiled by it I too enjoy being able to fast travel in most games but in Dark Souls they did this so well, in that as soon as u start to get cocky coz u have passed through an area a few times, casually fighting mobs they will suddenly start to overwhelm you all of the sudden coz u let your guard down.
Sadly I never played Demons but will definitely get it and play it just because Dark Souls immediately became one of my favourite all time games, I have a feeling I wont like it nearly as much as I started in the wrong order.

Rooms with bad ventilation. The cushions have a V format, maybe they should need to be changed. But it´s very good located and fair price.

You get the best of the hostel and Hotel. Since the rooms are individual and you have private rooms, you can have the positive part of hotel, but since it is a university housing, you have all the spirit there as well.

IUD removed without patient permission
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 01-21-2009 - 11:04am
According to this article a Heath Care Provider removed a woman's IUD without her permission, claimed it was an accident (read the article, it seems this accident happens frequently under her care) and then told the patient it was a good thing, because IUD's are an abortificant.
What should happen to this woman if these allegations are true ?
I think at the VERY LEAST she should lose her license and NEVER be allowed to practice again. Considering the DELIBERATE nature of this, I would not be against a short jail sentence either.
Also, I don't think she can claim Health Care Provider conscience in this case. She did more that refuse to participate in a procedure she objected to. She is actively undoing a procedure that patients have already had done. This would be like a pharmacist who "objects" to birth control pills stealing BCP from customers purses.
Or a vegetarian stealing a hamburger off of someone's plate. (Of course this case is worse, because something was stolen from inside this woman's BODY)

I think it depends on experience.
I had a*mostly* wonderful birth with my 1st DD even though I didn't get the Epi...I tore like all h*ll and boy did I wish I had the Epi then. So with DD#2 I got the Epi ...mostly incase I tore again.
But with DS.......I swear I will NEVER get the Epi again. Hurting for a while from a tear PALES in comparrison to what happened because of my epidural w/ DS!!!!!
I think it's just finding someone who can honestly be objective.

11 Ways to Maximize a Small Space
Whether you live in the quintessential studio apartment or want to get more out of a small room or tiny nook in your house, use these small space design ideas to help you decorate.
By Jen Renzi
Use Bigger — But Fewer — Furnishings
It may seem counterintuitive, but outfitting a small space with just a few large-scale pieces (rather than a mishmash of pint-size furniture) can actually make it feel grander. That said, don't be afraid of filling up the space. When a room is populated with furniture, it actually appears larger.

How did they get all of that in those jeans?
A sublimated denim print meets full-on mountain-worthy features in the Burton Jeans Gore-Tex Jean Pant. As seen on magazines, videos, and yes, even TV, the Gore-Tex Jean Pant is a favorite among Burton's pro-shred squad for its good looks and superior waterproofing.
- Gore-Tex 2-layer fabric gives this denim stunner guaranteed waterproof and breathability, even in harshest of weather
- Fully taped seams completely seal out moisture from infiltrating your comfort along all stitching points
- Sublimated denim print looks like your favorite pair of distressed denim but performs like a boss
- Satin lining brings you the same silky swagger feel of your pimp robe at home
- Mid Fit is Burton's just-right fit: tapered where you want it, roomy where you need it
- Inner thigh zip vents lets you air things out
- Inner gaiters keep the snow out of your boots
- Set and Forget ghetto slits stay put when you bang out that Squampton style over boots
- Anti-Scuff cuffs feature a higher-density material to keep your cuffs from getting merked in the parking lot

Looks like real Jeans!
Ordered these pants for another amazing epic adventure of ours. We are heading to Board the live Volcano in Chile in the summer of 2015...waiting to use these until then.....still gotta get a new jacket to go with the pants (looking for a nice flannel type jacket to complete the rugged look for this outfit). Love how the pants seriously look like real jeans (even the leather tag on the back). Friends and family had to actually touch them to realize they were boarding pants
Excellent quality, fit, and style
Don't believe the negative reviews about this product. Went out several days with these on. Never got wet. Style is like real jeans and you have to be unusually close to this product (within 18 inches) to realize that they're not real jeans. The Gore-Tex, although 2 layers, seems thick and durable. I've had no problems whatsoever. As far as sizing, I wear a 32-33, 5'10" 185 pounds with an athletic build. Medium fit perfectly. Keep in mind there is Velcro on the inner waist liner to assure a good fit.
These look great and are even more comfortable. Thermals underneath should be sufficient for all but the coldest days. Maybe an extra layer then.

Yo-I'm 5'10" and 2 bills-normally sport 34x30 jeans...should I get a Large?
Yes definitely
People stop me everytime I ride in these. They look better than your favorite pair of jeans and keep you warm and dry with only a base layer under em. I'm 6' 240lbs (gym rat) and XL fits perfect, just a little swaggy baggy. Great quality. Don't listen to the haters. These are sick.
burton the jeans
although they are cool looking pants and they are gore-tex, i would not recommend purchasing them. the material is very cheaply made and rips easily. i purchased these pants, tried them and the ripped on the very 1st day out. mind you i was not even in the park or riding aggressivly that, so save your money and stay away from the cheap pants.
watch people stare in disbelief
People can't believe you're out in the snow wearing what they think are ordinary jeans! These pants fit great, they're waterproof, the material seems pretty strong (not enough snow for me to get in the trees yet) They're not insulated, but my legs never got cold, even down to 0 degrees F (worn with long johns). My only gripe is with the front pockets(difficult to zip and unzip) and the back pockets (pretty useless) But these issues are form before function fashion compromises

I'm 6'2" 155lbs and wear a 30x34 what size should i get?
I am going to have to say a large for length, however the waist is going to be a bit big. I think with your height the medium would fit your waist but not your length. I would suggest looking at the Burton Cargo pant in tall.

I already ordered & received these in an XL for my husband as a Christmas gift...they are so cool! I ordered the XL because of the inseam. My husband has a 34" inseam, but his waist is more of a 34-35. The XL looks huge in the waist/butt! Does this pant come in a Large Tall? And if not would you suggest that I order the large as a back-up? Thnx.
Hi, unfortunately Burton doesn't offer the Jeans pant in tall sizes. I would suggest picking up the large for your hubs and letting him decide which size to keep on xmas day, because we could be sold out by then.
If you choose to get a "tall" pant the selection is limited but we stock both of them:
686 Smarty Original Cargo Tall
Burton Cargo Tall
Hope that helps.

Honestly, what did I just say?
And no, I do not think of myself as the best in any way. As a matter of fact, I analyze competitive games better than I play them. I don't think I'm bad by any means, but I know I'm not the best. What reason would I have to challenge you? The childish notion that it would teach you some manners and learn to respect other people, and not shove your e-peen down everyon'es throat? I know it wouldn't make a lick of a difference. I'm just saying, treat people with respect. You're not gonna make any friends by going around and insulting or attempting to intimidate people.

I hate your ??? with a passion. Won't reveal it unless you do, but **bleep** that matchup! XD
So since hating on you seems to be the theme of the thread, psh I beat his Sackboy and Sly! (Okay, so he beat me 80% more often with pretty much the entire cast, but I'm supposed to be hatin' and being selectively truthful and stuff.)
In all seriousness though, Asis and Chof are quite simply the two best people I've faced so far. Asis raped me with **bleep** near the whole cast, but I took some games and only got completely shut out two or three times out of like 30-some games, so I'm not disappointed.
However, like I told Chof, I'ma come back and best you one of these days. Maybe not in the BD/??? MU though... Next time it's gonna be FP for that MU. Now I have to hit the lab and learn Chof's stupidly ridiculous combo.
I'm sure they are good, but like I said, he doesn't need to shove it down our throats.
bro i am praticing that combo everyday and still having trouble Chof is God Like and you sir have the best Big Daddy Ive ever fought and yes I learned alot from you. And I really did enjoy the games and seriously thank you for the kind post... its not cool how no one here ever says anything about how i try to help people learn match up and train them no one says nothing about that but i guess thats how it is but anyways Yes you are very good bro and it was mad fun and Im not letting anyone know about??? just yet btw did you peep that wall chain throw thing i was doing ohhhh so much unseen tech with that guy anyway lets do it again sometime!!
Again, Asis, know that I'm not hating on you. I'm just saying you gotta act a bit more humble. Anyhow, if you'd like, we can play sometime. I cannot vouch for my skill at all, as I really don't know how I am yet. Maybe, however, I could pick a thing or two up.

Did I notice the absolute **bleep** I was stuck in for like 30 straight seconds? Why yes indeed I did!
Your ??? is sexy as **bleep** though. It just goes to show there's so much people don't know about this game yet, which is why it boggles my mind to see week 3 nerfs. Week 1 it was Kratos, week 2 it was Sackboy, week 3 it was Raiden, and soon we'll all start **bleep** about FP. At least I still have a while until people find out BD is viable XD
By the way Dude, while I understand what you're saying, you are aware that you keep coming back to the thread that is essentially an open challenge to anyone willing to take it with some cockiness thrown in because let's face it, A) He's good, B) calling everyone out is the best way to get people to play you.
I suppose that is true, but he could easily tone it down a little while still accomplishing both. And yes, I understand that this thread was asking for it all along, but there's no real reason to oblige that kind of attitude.
what is your problem man im not even acting that bad... I make some statements I get some fights... Look im sorry if it bothered you I will def try to be a little more kind and less alpha like... Anyways if you like i said I dont mind training people and teaching them match ups add me so we can play you will see im a nice guy

service, location, views
The setting is stunning and the view from the main house over the vineyards is unforgettable. The wine that the hotel produces is amazing. We drank far too much of it! Love the fact that there are three pools. We were so pleased that we had chosen to stay here rather than in Florence city centre. The hotel even paid for our taxi into town when the shuttle service was late. We want to go back and do more exploring. Will definitely stay here again.
Absolutely beautiful architecture and location
