When we think of Shlomi Aber we immediately juxtapose his name to the great successes that have marked his hit Freakside onwards. But that serious face hides the reality of a man who has always believed in music and in the chance to become a big artist.
Mon, 13 Jun 2011
Recognized as one of the main techno pioneers and influential artists of the recent time, Shlomi Aber has the kind of impact usually reserved for inbound meteors, the reason for which is buried in a ground swell of genre-defying appreciation and support. ClubberGuideNewYork.com talks to him at Movement 2011.

Can you explain, simply, what a credit default swap is?
Question/Comment: Can you explain, simply, what a credit default swap is?
Paul Solman: I sure hope so.
Basically, a credit default swap or "CDS" is an insurance contract to protect against bankruptcy.
Say you own a lot of Ford Motor Co. bonds, which Ford gave you in exchange for lending money to it. But you're afraid Ford might go bankrupt, and not have enough money to pay back its bondholders. You can then buy a CDS that would pay you if Ford "defaulted" on its debts.
So you've swapped a small amount of money for a promise to be paid a much larger amount of money if a disaster occurs. Just as if you'd paid a premium on home insurance to protect against a disaster like the house burning down.
There's lot more to it, of course.
Editor's Note: For more on credit default swap check out Paul's Oct. 7 segment on the subject.

"mr. WASCO", rick carter, i believe. i just purchased some basacryl and havent had any problems so far. basically i am replacing my "brown lysol" with this product. it is actually only a precaution on my part to avoid slippage since it is often quite hot and humid in my state (of confusion), so i figure a dime's worth of bacteriacide is a dime well invested. anyway my question is: just how toxic is this product? the label has so many cautions on it that i am concerned. is it toxic in its diluted state? can a person just wash his hands immediately after handling the cape and be ok? i dont flesh capes well with gloves on! thanx!

Meet Your Neighbors: Lifelong Jeannette resident at home with family, writing, volunteering
Kristina Rugh is a lifelong resident of Jeannette and lives in a well-known neighborhood which she and her family call "funeral home central."
A graduate of Jeannette High School, Kristina's twin sister, Krista, also graduated the same year.
"We are identical mirror twins," said Rugh. "I'm right side dominant and she is left."
Rugh attended college at Grove City and majored in education. Since her graduation, she has had a myriad of jobs and has lived in a few different locations in western Pennsylvania.
After graduation, Rugh was working in accounting at the Tribune Review and her twin had relocated to Indiana.
"Krista convinced me to move up there and I did. We lived in a trailer park, it was all seniors and they loved us. They watched out for us, and were wonderful neighbors."
During that time she worked for the R&P Coal company and then for a nursery as an office manager.
In addition to working in Indiana and at the Trib, Rugh was employed from the time she was 16 years old until she moved away at the Greensburg Country Club. Her connection to the country club was through her aunt, Bonnie Lee Irwin who was the controller there for 37 years.
Irwin eventually became ill with leukemia and Rugh cared for her for a year and a half.
"We had a family meeting and I was the most logical choice, because I'm entertaining in stressful situations," said Rugh, with a charming smile on her face.
After her aunt passed away, Rugh worked for a day care center.
"Children are healing to the soul," said Rugh, "It was the best place for me at the time."
During that time her sister, Krista, started a business and Rugh became a partner in 2007.
Householder Lifestyle Consultants Bookkeeping and Officer Services was born and has been growing ever since. Rugh's college major in elementary education is very helpful to her at HLC because she does all the training for the company.
"I like to think my journey prepares me for the next step in the road," said Rugh. "Caring for my aunt was the most important thing that I've done. It matured me. It was tough."
Rugh is also employed in Westmoreland County Commissioner Tyler Courtney's office at the courthouse, but still finds time to indulge in her hobby of writing children's books and volunteering for various community activities in the City of Jeannette.
"My wish for Jeannette, is that other people can see the city like we see the city. There are so many wonderful things here."
To learn more about caring for family, owning a business, writing children's book or volunteering in Jeannette, get to know neighbor Kristina Rugh.
Editor's note: Meet Your Neighbors is a recurring feature in The Jeannette Spirit. If you know of a neighbor with an interesting life story to tell, someone who deserves some recognition for volunteer work, a resident with a special talent or an avid collector who would like to be featured, call the Spirit at 724-838-5154 or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Although the May wildfires showed that San Diego County has made significant progress in upgrading its firefighting capability, greater improvements are needed as the region faces the probability of "future destructive fires," a report submitted on Tuesday to the county Board of Supervisors warned.
An "after-action" report by the county's Office of Emergency Services recommended a third helicopter, better software to update fire-perimeter maps and more county employees assigned to disaster relief when a fire strikes, among other things.
The recommendations appeared to receive a positive response from the supervisors. Any decision was delayed until after a session is held within the next 45 days with officials from other cities and agencies to develop a regional response.
A dozen fires struck the northern section of the county in May, destroying several dozen homes in Carlsbad and San Marcos, and burning thousands of hectares. Fires also struck Camp Pendleton and the adjacent Naval Weapons Station Fallbrook.
No fatalities have been confirmed although the county medical examiner has yet to determine whether a migrant found in an encampment outside Carlsbad was burned to death or was already dead when the fire struck.
The May fires signaled a significant change from the fires in 2003 and 2007, when thousands of homes burned and the local response at times seemed inadequate. Fifteen people were killed in the 2007 blaze.
"It wasn't that we were lucky this time," Supervisor Ron Roberts said. "We were far better prepared. ... Do we have room for improvement? You bet."
Since the 2007 fire, the county established a fire authority to knit together dozens of agencies, mainly in the rural backcountry. An agreement was reached with the Navy and Marine Corps over use of their helicopters, and relations with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection have been improved.
"More can always be done to make us even better prepared to battle the next big fire (but) the county can't work on this alone," said Dianne Jacob, chairwoman of the Board of Supervisors.
A workshop, Ms Jacob said, will provide an opportunity to draw up a list of recommendations "to improve our entire region's fire protection system."

Rick Ross appears alongside collaborator Avery Storm in the 'Rich Off Cocaine' music video, which is filmed in Medellin, Colombia.
As a promotional project to support his single titled "Rich Off Cocaine", Rick Ross brings out a music video for it. In the just-debuted video, he is captured rapping alongside his collaborator Avery Storm.
"Rich Off Cocaine" video is filmed in Medellin, Colombia. It is shot back to back with "All I Really Want" and "Cigar Music" videos, both of which have been outed earlier this month. While "All I Really Want" video is directed by Gil Green, "Cigar Music" video and this new one are worked on by Spiff TV.
"Rick Off Cocaine" is a song lifted from Rick Ross' third studio album "Deeper Than Rap", which has come out since April 2009. Produced by J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, this track is yet to have any release date.

We have learned in life that there are usually two sides to every story, which holds true for our personal lives as well as for investing and the economy. If you focus on only one angle, you're playing the game with one hand tied behind your back. Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett's partner and Vice-Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A), often likes to say, "Invert, always invert." I believe what Munger is suggesting is that when looking at making an investment or assessing the stock market, you should always consider both sides of the equation.
For instance, many analysts and economists cite the growing numbers of college graduates choosing to migrate back home to live with mom and dad instead of living independently a strong indicator that housing will remain weak for years to come. As a result of that migration, the economy is suppressed because fewer people are shopping at Home Depot (HD) or Beth Bath and Beyond (BBBY) or calling the cable guy to for cable installation. The argument is valid as these events are indeed having an effect on the economy.
But the other side of the story is that those returning home are saving money, which they are using to pay off student loans and build nest eggs for the eventual home purchases. Further, without the burden of rent or a mortgage payment, disposable income is increased, sending these young adults out shopping and spending. In essence, the future homebuyers of America are both helping to stimulate the economy and deleveraging their balance sheets. This, too, is a valid argument.
Another argument is that the unemployment needs to get back to 6% to 7% for the economy to really improve. While true, waiting for unemployment to drop will keep many investors on the sidelines for a long time. Capitalism, by nature is a disruptive process. Innovation increases productivity. The U.S. Post Office is a current case in point. As the world continues to embrace a cashless way of life, the need for postal carriers diminishes. It is quite possible that the U.S. economy can perform quite well with an 8% unemployment rate: As businesses become more efficient, margins expand, which in turn can lead to expansion in the valuation multiple that boosts the stock price. I don't think the fortunes of Apple (AAPL) or Visa (V) would differ much in a world of 8% or 10% unemployment.
Back in 2006 and 2007, when everyone was waiting in line to buy a house, the main selling point was the historical claim that real estate prices rose, on average, 2%-3% a year. With only that piece of information, everyone rushed to buy. Few people looked at other side and asked what would happen when this historical price appreciation came to an end. Those individuals with names like Kyle Bass, Michael Burry, Prem Watsa, and John Paulson, all made a fortune by looking at both perspectives.
What if big banks aren't really dead fish? What if Citigroup (C) or Goldman Sachs (GS) continue to keep improving their balance sheets? And, what if in the next year or two, profits start to grow again because the current turmoil in Europe doesn't lead to financial Armageddon? The answer is a good chance of 100% returns -- a performance I'm convinced the overall stock market will not produce.
The prudent investor must always consider how bad things can get if the optimists are wrong or what opportunities exist if the pessimists are wrong.

" Brand: Thorntons "
For Mothers Day earlier this month, my two boys (with a little help from their Dad) decided to treat me to some Thorntons chocolates. I have long been a fan of Thorntons chocolates, although find some of their more well-known collections, such as the Continentals, a little uninspiring. Thankfully, I had dropped enough hints about liking the Dessert Gallery to find this small but perfectly formed box under the wrapping paper.
The Dessert Gallery, like many of Thorntons special collections, doesn't come cheap, priced at £7.50 for a 210g box. This might sound like a big box but, be warned, it only contains 16 small but perfectly formed little chocolates. There is an even smaller box available (75g for £2.99) but, quite frankly, why anybody would buy a box so small is beyond me! As a gift, they are going to look pretty meagre and as a treat for yourself, they will just leave you aching for me so you may as well admit defeat and go for the bigger box.
The name on the chocolates does give some clues to their contents as each individual chocolate is 'inspired by' a traditional dessert. This gives rise to such temptations as 'creme brulee' and 'lemon meringue', which are co-incidentally two of my favourite desserts as well as being two of my favourites from this collection.
I wouldn't normally review each chocolate individually but this box contains just eight varieties (two of each) so I have forced myself to sample each and every chocolate (bar one), purely for the purposes of this review obviously.
*Summer Fruit Pudding*
This is one of my personal favourites as it looks so pretty sitting in the box and doesn't disappoint on taste either. This chocolate features a bright pink jelly on the top and is encased in a round chocolate 'cup'. Biting in reveals a tangy fruit mousse under the jelly. This tastes of real fruit (not flavourings) and has the texture of crushed raspberries, pips and all, so not one that will appeal to everybody. (My two year old picked this straight out of the box because of the bright pink colouring, took a bite out of it and then put it back in!)
*Toffee Mousse*
This has a creamy toffee sauce centre, sprinkeed with finely ground toffee speckles on top. At the base, there is lots of gooey runny toffee with an unmistakeable taste of something alcoholic (apparantly toffee liqueur) with what tastes like a thick layer of white chocolate on top. If you like drinks such as Dooleys, I'm sure you will enjoy this one!
*Almond Torte*
I'm not personally a big lover of nuts and this is essentially a praline filled chocolate, with little pieces of shortbread mixed in for an unusual texture. No doubt, nut lovers would go nutty (sorry!) for this one with a whole almond sitting prettily on the top.
*Double Chocolate Mousse*
This is a very rich chocolate truffle which is a little too bitter for my rather unrefined tastes but likely to be appreciated by lovers of dark chocolate. I like the topping of white and milk chocolate shavings on the top of this chocolate but find that the truffle itself leaves a slight bitter aftertaste.
*Lemon Meringue*
One of my favourites, this is really light and fruity with a gorgeously thick lemony goo oozing out of a white chocolate cup, topped with tiny crispy little pieces of meringue. Yum! I haven't seen this particular chocolate available loose or within any other Thorntons collections which is a real shame as I would certainly buy them.
Sorry, but I detest the smell and taste of coffee with a passion and not even the needs of a Dooyoo review could persuade me to knowingly sample one of these. My husband duly complied and gave me his verdict...'Nice.' Now you know why I'm the one who writes the reviews in our household!
*Creme Brulee*
Almost as lovely as the genuine article, this features the hard sugary topping associated with a creme brulee as well as the runny creamy centre. Divine! This is the one that starts arguments in our household!
*Kirsch Torte*
This is another one with an attractive pink crisp sugary topping and has a centre featuring not only the cherry Kirsch flavouring you'd expect, but also a layer of marzipan. Personally, I'd probably prefer this without the marzipan and maybe with some chopped up cherries inside instead but I'm certainly more than willing to devour this variety anyway.
And that, sadly, is the end of the box! As a combination, these do work well together and there is enough variety to keep everybody happy and to avoid these becoming far too rich and cloying. I love Thorntons and these certainly don't let the brand down in any way. Mothers everywhere can safely put these on their wishlist for birthdays, Christmas and any other special occasions!
Available from Thorntons stores nationwide as well as Thorntons online.
Part of my recent order at Thorntons.co.uk was this box of luxury chocolates. At £7.50 for a box of 16 they are an expensive indulgence, but as they were included as part of a 3 for 2 promotion and I had eyed them up in store I had to buy a box to see what they were like.
As I have now 'sampled' the majority of the chocolates in the box I feel qualified to be able to review the contents and give my thoughts on the selection given.
The box itself has been attractively designed and has an Art Deco look to it; Thorntons don't skimp on the quality and the packaging inside and out has a premium look and feel to it. Removing the outer plastic wrapper and getting into the box reveals a single layer of luxury-looking chocolates and in the centre you have a long, thin folded piece of card with "Menu" printed on it.
The menu has been created by one of the "Master Choclatiers" - Barry Colenso who was a Chef Patissier in some of the world's finest hotels including the Savoy in London. These chocolates are his own personal favourites translated into chocolate form and are claimed to be chocolate puddings at their best.
Unfolding the menu you are shown the contents of the box and a picture of the chocolate it relates to, as there are only 8 different choices to chose from I will review each selection individually so that you know what you are buying and will give my opinion on each of the chocolate themselves:
Summer Fruit Pudding: Described as being a "Quintessential English dessert" the chocolate has a fruit layer of real strawberry jelly topped by a layer of raspberry cream. Housed in a circular milk chocolate cup this was one of my favourites in the box. The strawberries and raspberries are sweet and tart and this one made my mouth water, the chocolate is thick and creamy and you get a full flavoured chocolate with this one. 5/5 from me.
Toffee Mousse: Described as being a "Truly special toffee treat for Thorntons toffee lovers" this has a base of toffee liqueur mousse topped with toffee sauce and a scattering of toffee pieces on the top, all contained in a dark chocolate square cup. Not as nice as it sounds, the dark chocolate is very bitter compared to the sweetness of the filling and doesn't quite work for me, I would have preferred a milk chocolate cup, but for those who like dark chocolate this would be a favourite. 3/5 from me for this one.
Crème Brulee: Described as being the "Queen of Desserts" The milk chocolate circular cup contains a creamy centre which is topped with crunchy Demerara sugar. Lovely to bite into and the middle is very rich; the chocolate again is creamy and rich. Not that much taste after the exciting topping but very nice all the same. 4/5 from me.
Kirsch Torte: A Kirsch marzipan centre topped with a cherry sugar, pink in appearance and contained in a square milk chocolate cup. A nice combination from the tarty cherry and Kirsch but not one of my favourites, I found the taste to be strange and not that nice. Maybe because I'm not all that familiar with Kirsch anyway this didn't rate that highly with me. 2/5 from me.
Almond Torte: A dark chocolate, rectangular cup containing a nutty praline centre with shortbread pieces contained. Topped with a whole almond (which I didn't eat as not keen on almonds) this was a nice chocolate, the dark cup offset the very sweet interior and without the almond made for one of my favourites out of the whole collection. 4/5 from me.
Double Chocolate Mousse: Claimed to be "Everything that the best dessert should be" this is a square, dark chocolate cup containing a mousse of white and milk chocolate topped with chocolate pieces, a very nice choice, the mousse is light and contrasts the outer bitter cup well. Another favourite scoring 4/5 with me.
Lemon Meringue: A white chocolate circular cup containing a zesty lemon centre topped with meringue and white chocolate pieces. This was my favourite of them all; the white chocolate combined with the very sweet and tart lemon made a beautiful combination, the meringue was light and fluffy. 5/5 from me - Gorgeous!
Tiramisu: Described as the "King of Desserts" a rectangular milk chocolate cup containing mascarpone, brandy and coffee topped with amaretto granules. This is very, very rich and the coffee flavour is strong. Nice enough but a bit too much for me and not one I would have again. 2/5 from me.
That's all the chocolates that are in the box, there are 2 of each making 16 in total. Not a box of chocolates to sit down to watch a film with but not really enough to have as a full dessert after eating a meal. I'm in two minds overall with these chocolates, the majority are delicious and you can see that they have been made with care and with attention to detail. For the price they are luxurious and an indulgent treat which would make a wonderful present for someone who is into their chocolate. I did enjoy them and whilst they were wildly expensive they still represented fairly good value for money. I wouldn't buy them again as a box of chocolates just to have in the house but would consider buying them as a special gift for someone and that's where I'm in 2 minds over them. For a gift - brilliant, for a nibble when wanting a chocolate fix - not so ideal.
Overall for me, taking into account the taste, attention to detail and price a fair rating would be 4/5 Dooyoo stars. I would definitely recommend the Lemon Meringue variety if you can buy them individually in a Thorntons shop and the Summer Fruit Pudding is a delicious choice for something out of the ordinary.
An impressive choice from Thorntons and would certainly make for a special and thoughtful gift for someone, available online and instore from Thorntons, my box cost £7.50 but was included in the "3 for 2" offer online. Would make a great stocking filler present for someone you love or buy them for after Christmas dinner when you are sat with the family watching the queens' speech. Lovely.
=== What are Thortons? ===
Thorntons was created in the year of 1911 by Joseph William Thornton. There are almost 400 Thorntons chocolate shops around the world and over the years, various websites, cafes and other offspring have been created. Thorntons is now the UK?S largest manufacturer of specialist chocolates. Thorntons is home to various delicious chocolates in many types including the classic chocolates, continental chocolates, Eden chocolate collection and Dessert Collection! As well as catering for the majority of buyers, Thorntons also makes sure people with intolerances aren?t left out and there are now various different collections and chocolates suitable for people who have allergies. There is also an organic chocolate collection.
===So why choose the Dessert Collection?===
Well, as I said above, Thorntons do sell a huge variety of chocolates, my favourites probably still remained either the Classics, or the superbly tasty Continental Collection. Now, the Dessert Collection would not appeal to me at all, and I wouldn?t have gone in to the shop and bought a box myself. I?m not overly keen on chocolates which are mixed with things such as fruits so I doubted very much that I?d be keen on the Dessert Collection. However, after baby sitting for my three little cousins, my auntie kindly gave us a bottle of wine (for my mum?of course), and a lovely box of Thorntons Chocolates. Mum and I were fairly doubtful when we realised what the Thorntons chocolates were, but decided there was no point in putting them too waste, and the next evening we decided to try them out.
Obviously, these aren?t a box of chocolates you are going to buy while out for a quick chocolate fix. In fact, I think they?d be most suited to a more formal occasion such as a dinner party or a special present. They?d be just perfect to give as say, an after dinner treat with a coffee and I?m sure that the guests would appreciate getting to chose there own mini dessert. Although dessert flavoured, they aren?t meant for substituting as a real pudding, as they are pretty small and not very filling!!
===The Collection Itself===
The Dessert Collection of chocolates were inspired by everybody?s favourite desserts. They were then created into delicious chocolates. Inside the chocolate box, there are various dessert favourites, including, Double Chocolate Mousse, and Crème Brulee. There are as I said a wide variety of different flavours in the collection, and definitely something for everybody. I wasn?t too thrilled by some of the options but I decided to give it a try anyway!
===The Chocolate Box===
What I found very unusual, was that the chocolates came in a white box. I always thought that Thorntons had a gold coloured box but I have since learned that not all of them are. The dessert collection box was actually quite attractive but not as outstanding as the others. In the usual gold writing style, ?Thorntons? was written, which was very posh looking. There was no pictures of the chocolates concealed inside, which I found quite unusual as usually there are some tempting images on the front! There was a picture of a shining white dinner plate on the front though which hinted at the fact that the chocolates secreted inside were actually real desserts; obviously they were not though! Although these are the Dessert Collection, the proper title for these chocolates are ?Dessert Gallery?, and these words were printed underneath the Thorntons signature in a thin gold writing. Overall I thought the box was really quite attractive but definitely not the prettiest.
===Inside the box===
I am pretty sure these chocolates come in various different sized boxes, as well as being able to be bought as individual chocolates from behind the counter. The box I had though, contained two layers of chocolates, two of each different type. Each chocolate was in its own little dent, sitting quite prettily actually. The two separate layers were separated by a gold sheet of what seemed like cardboard(but I know it wasn?t!). This reassured me that the chocolates were fresh and had been kept in good condition. The chocolates were spread out across the box, so it looked very neat and tidy, and not a mess in anyway. This gave me even move confidence that the chocolates would be an exceptionally high standard.
===The chocolates themselves===
The selection in the box is quite magnificent and I was thrilled when I discovered there were some flavours that appealed thoroughly to me!
Tiramisu: The tiramisu chocolate was very attractive to the eye and looked quite delicious. I?m not usually to keen on desserts like Tiramisu but I decided it was worth a try anyway. In my opinion, the chocolate looked like a tiny little bed. Wrapped inside a milky looking chocolate, was what only could be described as a blanket of little chocolate shavings. Biting into the chocolate I was immediately hit by a really creamy taste. I looked into the centre of the little chocolate and was met by what looked like only two layers. On the bottom there was what looked like a light brown mousse, though it didn?t taste very chocolate like. There was a very strong coffee smell, and a slightly bitter almond taste. I only managed to eat half of this chocolate, as it didn?t taste nice in my opinion at all. My mum tried the second of these chocolates and agreed; it was horrible! I?m sure if you like Tiramisu though, it would be great.
Double Chocolate Mousse: I was really excited about trying the double chocolate mousse, and when I read the description on the mini card I was provided with I couldn?t wait to tuck in. This chocolate was very pretty. The outside of the chocolate was what looked like a dark chocolate shell. I?m not too keen on dark chocolate but the inside appealed more. When I bit in I was immediately drawn to the unusual taste that the outside had- it wasn?t dark chocolate but it definitely wasn?t milk. It tasted really nice though, but not as nice as the inside. When my teeth sunk into the smooth creamy inside I was in heaven. It was delicious. It was definitely milk chocolate, and it had an unusual caramel-ish taste to it too! It was gorgeous and definitely my favourite. My brother tried the second of this chocolate and really enjoyed it though he did comment on the unusual taste of the chocolate shell!
Kirsch Torte: This chocolate was really quite pretty. I didn?t try this though as I?m not keen on cherries at all. It was really attractive though; the shell on the outside was quite big with two contrasting colours; a white chocolate on the bottom half and a milky looking chocolate on the top half. Inside the shell, was kept a topping of sprinkled pink cherry sugar. I didn?t like the smell of it at all though. It had a really almond/marzipan taste and this put me off even more. My mum and brother tried this chocolate and neither enjoyed it at all. These described the coating as ?disgusting? and apparently the inside tasted of ?the Bart Simpson cake he had when he 8 that made him sick?. It is definitely safe to say that this one didn?t go down to well.
Crème Brulee: I was excited about trying this chocolate too. It wasn?t overly attractive though- a milk chocolate shell held in a bleak brown sugary looking substance. It smelt delicious though- really creamy and resembling toffee quite a lot. Biting in I was in heaven. The chocolate on the outside gave a crunch, and hurt my tooth a bit, but the taste was gorgeous. As I had thought and expected, it was incredibly creamy, and tasted like caramel. The top of the inside was very sugary and quite hard, and that contrast in textures was splendid. My mum really enjoyed this chocolate too, and actually bought three single Crème Brulee chocolates the other day. Definitely worth a try!!
Summer Fruit Pudding: I wasn?t overly keen on trying this one. Firstly, it looked pretty horrible. The regular milk chocolate shell secreted what looked like a pale pink jelly. The thing that put me off the most was that the ?Jelly? had a huge red splodge in the middle, which I wasn?t sure was meant to be there. I took a little nibble off the chocolate and was reassured when it was just as delicious as the previous. The inside of the chocolate wasn?t too much of a let down. It was a weird texture, and a weird flavour too. I thought I tasted blueberries and blackberries at first, but by the time I?d munched my way through it, it was beginning to taste like raspberry. I did like the chocolate, don?t get me wrong but it wasn?t by far my favourite. My brother enjoyed this chocolate and munched it down in one mouthful- I think it was a success.
Almond Torte: After the disaster of the Kirsch Torte with my family, I was extremely reluctant to try this one, however (apart from the almond on top), it looked delicious and was surprisingly letting off a delicious sweet smell. I gave my mum the almond on top as I hate them and she said it was really nice and was caramelised too which I guess is not so bad. I bit into the chocolate and was immediately shocked by what was contained inside. There were tiny pieces of nut, which I really enjoyed. I am not too sure whether they are almond or not but they certainly didn?t taste of almond. There was also some crumbly shortcake inside. It was delicious and I could actually make out the butteryness which came from it. I really enjoyed this one and I am ashamed to say I polished off the other one too!!
Lemon Meringue: I was really intrigued by the stunning looking lemon chocolate. I don?t usually choose white chocolate chocolates but this one looked to good to resist. Inside the bright yellow/white cup, there was an extremely citrussy looking lemon ?cream?. On top of the cream were around 7 puffs of meringue. I lifted this chocolate up to my nose to take in its delicious zingy scent- it was gorgeous. The chocolate was utterly divine and I wanted another afterwards. The meringue was nothing special, just puffy and light but the inside was gorgeous and very strong in flavour. I wanted the other but unfortunately my mum polished it off- enjoying just as much as I did.
Toffee mousse: The final chocolate was the toffee mousse and I was really looking forward to trying it. However when I noticed it was a dark chocolate based one, I was a bit upset as I love toffee but hate dark chocolate. None the less I tried it. I wasn?t too keen on the chocolate if I?m honest. The chocolate cup was bitter and not to my taste and there was a horrible after taste which actually resembled alcohol! The toffee mousse was gorgeous though and really did taste like the real Thorntons toffee. My mum really enjoyed this chocolate though and said she?d eat another one if she had one.
===Prices and where to get them?===
Now, as I mentioned, I didn?t actually buy these chocolates myself, infact we were given them to us as a present. However, for the sake of the review I was going to write I did a little research and found out a bit about cost and availability. I was actually quite surprised to hear that this particular collection of chocolates is only available in Thorntons itself. I was positive I?d seen them in Asda about 3 months ago. This may have been the case and they have just been discontinued in supermarkets but I?m not too sure.
The Thorntons chocolates like I said, come in a few different sizes, so I will give you the prices per 100g. Per 100g, these chocolates cost quite a large £3.57. I definitely wouldn?t pay that myself for a box of chocolates as I?d have been probably happier with a big bar of Dairy Milk however as a present I didn?t mind. I do think this is quite a staggering amount of money and unless you know your going to enjoy them, I would opt for buying a single dessert chocolate from behind the counter. Although these sells for about 60-70p each, it will end up giving you a larger saving in the long run!
===Nutrition and can I actually have them?===
I?m quite lucky in that I?m not allergic to anything that is included in chocolates such as milk however some people might not be so lucky! Consumers allergic to nuts should definitely stay away from the nut chocolates such as the almond ones, and although the non-nut including chocolates don?t contain actual nuts themselves, I recommend being really careful if sampling the other chocolates as they have been made in the same place and probably on the same machinery. Unfortunately, they are not suitable for Lactose Intolerants. The dark chocolate is not guaranteed to be lactose free either as the milk chocolates and dark chocolates are made on the same machinery, yet again and although the machines are cleaned thoroughly before using again, it is not 100% tested that there will not be traces of lactose on or in the dark chocolates.
===Would I recommend?===
It depends really. If you are a huge fan of all desserts, sticky and sweet, and are a chocoholic, then yes these would be perfect. They are very sweet though and can get a bit sickening. They would not suit children, and my little brother who is 11 did not like them at all. They?d be great for a Christmas present or birthday gift if you don?t grudge splashing cash on some chocolates, and they?d be good for an after dinner treat at a dinner party or such like! I don?t know the exact nutrition but I think it is common sense to eat in moderation and if you are on a serious diet I wouldn?t recommend going near them. Overall though, they were fairly enjoyable, and if I was ever offered one again, I know what one I?d go for.
===Yum I loved these?what else do Thorntons sell?===
This is a question I?m sure most people will be asking after sampling just one of Thorntons Chocolates, and the answer is, well, a whole lot more!
Thorntons do a wide variety of different products, which I will explain briefly.
Thorntons Toffee is perhaps what they are most famous for. Not only do they sell their delicious creamy, yet incredibly sweet regular toffee they also sell various different varieties including rum and raisin, brazil nut, chocolate toffee, treacle toffee and fruit and nut.
As well as the scrumptious toffee, they also sell fudge which comes in a wide variety of flavours again, including the delicious sounding vanilla fudge, strawberry and cream and rum and raisin.
Of course, toffee and fudge may not be your type of thing, and if this is the case, you can opt for one of their many collections of chocolates.
Obviously, as I have just written about, there is the delicious Dessert collection. However if these are a bit too fancy and you prefer something ?normal? or ?Plain?, then you can choose to buy the Thorntons classics. These include some scrumptious sounding chocolates such as country caramel, butter fudge, strawberry velvet and chocolate dream. (Review will come later).
The Continental section of the chocolates supply chocs including caramel crème, hazelnut slice, vanilla truffle, mousse au chocolat and Madagascan vanilla truffle.
Thorntons have recently introduced a new collection of Chocolates called the Fusions Collection. We had these at Christmas and they were quite odd. Including delicious flavours such as the unusual milky caramel flavour. The Fusions collection are very special and extremely different in that they combine some unusual flavours together including different herbs and spices.
The Eden collection is quite unusual too I think. The chocolates in this collection are mostly fruity combinations including flavours such as mango, strawberry and passion fruit. Normally I am not a fan of fruity chocolates but I have to admit these sound really quite nice!
There are many more collections including the Revelations, and Moments which are all equally as tempting! There is also a diabetic collection for the people who enjoy chocolates but are diabetic, and a delicious organic section too. Overall, I think it is fair to say that Thorntons caters for a wide variety of chocolate lovers and I?m pretty sure there is something for everyone in the chocolate collection!!
Thorntons does a range of kid sweets too including chocolate buttons and fudge squares as well as doing gift sets, lollies, hampers and all other sorts of things!
===Where can I find Thorntons?===
Like I said at the start, there are now 400 stores. There are stores all over the country! Most are found on high streets and in shopping centres. Thorntons shops can get quite busy and I?ve witnessed this first hand. On Sunny days there is often long queues escaping from the front doors, with people of all ages queuing up to retrieve one of there delicious ice cream cones!
The name "Dessert Gallery" kind of gives away the contents of this box of chocolates from Thorntons. Each chocolate is a miniature version of a dessert, apparently the favourites of Barry Colenso, the Thorntons Master Chocolatier.
- Summer Fruit Pudding -
Raspberry cream topped with a layer of real strawberry jelly, all in a milk chocolate cup.
- Toffee Mousse -
A dark chocolate cup the filled with treacle toffee sauce, topped with a few tiny pieces of Thorntons special toffee.
- Crème Brulee -
A rich, creamy filling topped with golden Demerara sugar, in a milk chocolate cup.
- Kirsch Torte -
Dark and white chocolate cup filled with kirsch marzipan, topped with cherry flavoured sugar.
- Almond Torte -
Milk chocolate cup with shortcake pieces and chocolate praline, all finished off with dark chocolate and a whole almond.
- Double Chocolate Mousse -
My favourite! Chocolate truffle in a dark chocolate cup, with chocolate flakes on top.
- Lemon Meringue -
Zesty lemon with small pieces of meringue, in a white chocolate cup.
- Tiramisu -
Mascarpone, coffee and brandy, topped with amaretto granules in a milk chocolate cup.
The chocolates are presented in a long rectangular white box with a small see through-window on the left.
The fold-out "menu" is stuck down in the middle of the box.
Per chocolate:
Energy - 68 kcal
Protein - 0.7g
Carbohydrate - 7.5g
Fat - 3.8g
Fibre - 0.4g
Sodium - 0.01g
Overall I'd recommend them. They'd make a lovely gift for someone or a nice treat for yourself. They do actually have a taste of the real desserts, but with the addition of chocolate. They're a pleasant change from the usual box of chocolates.
Lily O'Brien's do a similar chocolate dessert collection, which are delicious. But it's a while since I had them so couldn't really compare to this Thorntons collection.
A 210g box, containing 16 chocolates retails for £7.50. That's quite pricey, but they're not your regular strawberry cream or hazelnut surprise chocolates.
16 dessert inspired chocolates.

The Dinesh Mills Bungalow, designed by adnD, outside Vadodara, in the State of Gujarat, Western India, is a creature of immense simplicity. Its spine is a driveway, from which the main floor plan extends, with its simple lines, ample windows, impeccable lawn, external staircase, three verandahs and crystal clear pool, closely communicating with the great outdoors of a land rich in design history. Step inside, to see parallels and perpendiculars intersecting and running along each other, in a mixture of post-modern, simple, dynamic spaces. The decorative accents will bring you back to India, via unmistakable arabesques, gilded cows and graceful Ganeshas. This is the home of a family of three and their staff.
Atelier design n domain (adnD) designs and builds with a contemporary sensibility, perfectly in tune with topical trends, while also paying close attention to the history and particularities of the sites where they are commissioned. adnD are Shobhan Kothari and Anand Menon, main partners of a studio active since 2001, with commercial, industrial and residential projects adorning various sites across Asia.

A hybrid job shop procedure for a Belgian manufacturing company producing industrial wheels and castors in rubber
In this paper, a new procedure to solve a job shop scheduling problem at a Belgian manufacturer producing industrial wheels and castors in rubber is presented. The procedure is an extension of a hybrid shifting bottleneck procedure with a tabu search algorithm while incorporating various company specific constraints. The various extensions to cope with the company specific constraints have a strong similarity with the complex job shop problem formulation of Mason et al. (2002). The new procedure is used as a simulation engine to test the relevance of various scenarios in order to improve the current planning approach of the company. A detailed computational experiment highlights the main contribution of the novel procedure for the company.

|Behavioral Treatment of Fibromyalgia

|Study Start Date:

|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|June 2000
Fibromyalgia (FM) is characterized by diffuse musculoskeletal pain, discrete tender points at typical soft-tissue sites, fatigue, stiffness, and sleep problems. Of these symptoms, pain is often the primary concern of FM patients and their physicians. Traditional medical approaches to managing FM have limitations (side effects) and have not been effective in managing pain. Given these limitations, treatments that involve nonpharmacologic interventions may represent a valuable addition to patient care. This study will evaluate the effects of two of the most promising nonpharmacologic interventions for FM: coping skills training (CST) for pain management and physical exercise training.
The study is designed to test the hypothesis that an intervention that combines CST and physical exercise training will be more effective than CST or exercise alone. In this study, we will randomly assign each of 180 patients diagnosed with FM to one of four conditions: CST alone, physical exercise training alone, CST plus physical exercise training, or a waiting list control. We will evaluate study participants on four occasions: pre-treatment, post-treatment, 3-month followup, and 6-month followup.
The study will look at the separate and combined effects of CST and physical exercise training and evaluate how changes in aerobic fitness, self-effectiveness, and negative pain-related thoughts relate to improvements in pain and disability. Physicians could use this information in matching FM patients to treatment interventions. In addition, our findings may have implications for treatment selection for a broad range of patients suffering from persistent pain.

Sizing Up the Oil Rally
I suppose we must start with oil today, as I have not discussed this chart in quite some time. I have been bullish on crude for what seems like forever -- but really it's only been since April! Back when I first posted the chart, I had thought a move up to $98 per barrel would be doable, but over time I noticed the head-and-shoulders bottom and upped the target.

Suggestion for Fort Constantine Misplacement Edit
I find it possible that the Brotherhood initiate you find the Medic Armor on originally had the T-51b found in the stasis field. It's possible that he thought the Medic Armor would be worth more to the Brotherhood, took it, and left his own armor (Considering the weight of power armor) in the stasis field to keep it safe until he returned for it. On the way back to the Citadel, he met his unfortunate end in Old Olney. Anyone else think this could be the case? Insano-Man 11:38, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
- i agree seems true enough but why would an initate have T-51b a Paladin may have needed it. also check my disscusion on the midwestern power arnor page. Onikage01 17:27, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
- I don't think so... the enclave soldier and Brotherhood of steel soldier random encounter seems to suggest that the initiate was issued the power aromor. and anyways, how would he get into the stasis field room? you need to get all those keys. and lastly there are still a bunch of robots in the area. he would have had to kill all the robots to get the armor (which would be impossibla nayways since he was only an initiate)
- He must have been taking the long way back to the Citadel, considering Old Olney is east of Fort Constantine and the Citadel is south.
No it isnt hes that armor is from fallout 1 or 2 i forgot but its the orignal "lone wanderers" armor.
- I'm willing to bet that the initiate had no idea that the T51b at Fort Constantine even existed.
Guess what? Evidence supporting the arguement:
- The T51-b is rusted, how the F*** does T51-b rust in a goddamn stasis field?
- The T51-b was no longer at prototype stage when the bombs dropped, so if it was there, they would've trashed the 'prototype' T51-b and started a new type of Power Armor in it's prototype stage.
- The D.C. Journal of Internal Medicine in the stasis room strongly implies the need of medical expertise on whatever armor was in there.
- The T51-b would be given to the initiate as ample protection in the event that the need for it arises, and they had no idea what armor standard the medic armor was using, so why not risk it all.
Thank you for reading.--Master of cheeZ 02:38, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
- Or maybe the T-51b was a late addition to the game and was swapped with the M-47 armour in Fort Constantine? Tagaziel (call!) 07:04, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
Well, the defenses in Fort Constantine would seem a good fit for guarding the PMPA, while all the deathclaws would seem fit for defending the T51-b.--Master of cheeZ 04:14, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
I just noticed that the R & D terminal for the stasis feild actually says "Medical Armor Prototype" witch is way more conclusive than the D.C. Journal of Internal Medicine. Katikar 13:12, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
Addiction? Edit
What does it mean that it auto injects med-x? Does it just keep you constantly pumped with Med-x, and does it take the med-x from your inventory?
When your HP go hit a certain percentage then you are automatically injected Med-X from you inventory and a message is played from the suit. Would be more useful if the suit injected you with stimpaks instead.Haze340
My suit injected me Med-X just when combat started (when he discovered that there are enemies in vicinity. J.i.gorkij 21:01, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
i take it theres no helmet?
Theres no helemt, and it injects Med-X when eneimeis are nearby and you have either low health, ro near-crippled limbsDragonJTS 18:00, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
What about addiction? Does the auto-injected Med-X lead to addiction similarly as it does when it's used manually? There is no addiction, I've used it long enough to get addicted probably 20 times. This could be a great protection from med-x addiction.
It will show on the screen with the normal popup saying you are now suffering from med-x withdrawal. If you go to your effects section of the pip-boy it will say "Suit Med-X Ignore Neg Eff +1, Dam. Res. +25" This will last for the entire time until you cure yourself. (That one previous sentence is the only debated part.) Then again if you just pop it wildly without the auto-injection you can still become normally addicted red screen and all. Upon testing of addiction after injection via popping a nutload of Med-X I found that you can be addicted to Med-X while having the suit protect from its one time. In other words the suit only prevents the addiction from one time, that specific time being its own injection, no more no less. And you still get the drawbacks if your doing normal pill popping. Also Med-X is not fatal. This is backed by using 89 within a single minute. But it wont do anything new for you. 126.96.36.199 21:29, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
Cancel that, seems that after its injected it will insert more to deal with the addiction immediately. Thusly it is not random, does cause addiction, and it must be cured at home or by a doctor. Only thing left is if once all the med-x is depleted will the addiction effects kick in. Most likely been said here already. Dunno, easy enough to find out. Not on my normal network as to Ip. Eh ill make an account and delete this part within the next few days, dont worry about cleaning it up. (188.8.131.52 21:23, 24 December 2008 (UTC))
Suit has unlimited med-x.
- It's a little confusing... But in the GECK... The script attached to the PMPA checks in order, the condition of your Torso, Head, Left Leg, Right Leg, Left Arm, Right Arm, Health Percentage. If it finds a limb that returns a value of less than 25, then it injects, otherwise it continues checking. When it gets to health percentage, it's looking for 33% or less. It seems to make these checks every 2.5 game hours, but I'm not an expert on these scripts. Anyway, when it injects, it applies the effect "MS14Morphine". This effect has 3 effects attached to it. The first, "Increased Damage Resistance" does the same thing normal Med-X does (though Med-X does it through an effect called "ChemIncDmgResistPsycho"). The second "Med-X Effect" applies an effect "Morphine Effect" which tells the PMPA script to not use Med-X. The third one, "MS14 Withdrawal Effect", according to the script, has a 10% chance of causing an unspecified withdrawal with a duration of 0 and a magnitude of 0.
- Basically, it checks each limb for 25% and your health for 33% every 2.5 game hours, and if you don't currently have "Morphine Effect" (which does not appear to be applied by regular Med-X), then the suit injects it. This, for some reason, through a script, has a 10% chance of causing an addiction that has no effect or duration. So essentially, there is no addiction attached to the Suit Med-X. Also, I didn't see anything in the script about injecting to counteract an addiction... I could be missing something though.Fiddlesoup 04:40, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Probably because you die before the script run, since it run only once evry 2,5 hours. Taking too much damage during that time gap will thus kill you faster than the armor script can run.
- So it's even more worthless than I thought it was. Nice. Guess that seals it for the Ranger Battle Armor, it really is the best. AshRandom (Talk) 22:18, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
- I don't think it only checks every 2.5 hours. I use the suit pretty extensively (prefer it to T51) and from my own experience it administers every time the player takes combat damage beyond a certain threshold. Doesn't matter if its from enemy fire, falling off a cliff, or a boobytrap -- as long as your health dips below a certain point it administers Med X instantly. However, I don't know if it will continue to administer Med X if the effect wears off before the user regains health -- I always regain my health after combat. I'm too lazy to test on my 360, but I suspect that is where the 2.5 hours comes from.
Repair? Edit
What, if anything, can you use to repair this armour? --Trithemius 01:20, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
Any power armor can repair it.
- My testing of this thus far seems to indicate that you cannot repair the PMPA with Enclave or Tesla armour. --Trithemius 12:09, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
He meant any "normal" power armor.--Master of cheeZ 04:20, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
Removed Edit
The best way to access old olney is to wear pow armor and if possible bring a gun such as the alien blaster or Eugene/vengeance preferably vengeance as to avoid the long wait before firing as nothing else really makes sense for fighting the 10 plus deathclaws you find in old olney.
- This is far from true. The BEST way to fight Deathclaws is with Stealth Boys and the Dartgun, which instantly cripples their legs and allows you to kill them very easily. I just fired a dart then emptied a
clipmagazine (from my SMG or assault rifle, whichever one I favored at the time) into their head. Didn't take a single point of damage. --DarkJeff 19:30, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
How bout we leave this to the deathclaw page? And may I bring up the fact that characters skills vary? (126.96.36.199 21:26, 24 December 2008 (UTC))
- It certainly varies, but even if you have 1 point only in Small Guns, the dartgun more or less means you can deal with them as you wish. It's... really over-powered vs melee enemies. --DarkJeff 03:02, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
Characters vary in how they deal with situations, but I think most people would agree that dealing with Deathclaws in confined areas isn't exactly a pleasurable experience. I'll change the article so it points readers to the Deathclaw article instead on how to deal with them. But I'll leave a tip about low level characters having to use Stealth Boys. --Clean Up 02:46, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
My method for deathclaws is simple, bring Fawkes.
Mine's even better, Fat Man in V.A.T.S.
A3-21 plasma rifle sneak attack to the head. with better critical perk one hit kill

Half-Life reference? Edit
The armor may possibly be a humorous reference to Gordon Freeman's talking HEV suit, and it's infamous "Morphine administered." line. "Minor lacerations detected"--ASL93ratjar 23:10, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yup, that was hilarious!
- *beep**beep*Major fracture detected.*hiss*Morphine administered.*beep**beep**beep*Emergency! User death imminent!
- It would be very cool if someone could make a mod with a talking armor!--Amitakartok 11:06, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Adding to this, a long running joke between Half Life gamers is that you never get a helmet... yet are still able to hear the voice and have protection from radiation.--OfficerBlue 11:14, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
Is the Med-X administered by this suit, affected by the Chemist perk, if not, I won't take it. Thanks ;)! Jetty22.214.171.124 09:53, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
perception Edit
for those who prefer not to sneak (or just dont care) this armour has good perception though it tends to be line of sight. thus alerts the wearer's attention is called when a threat is near. this seems much more reliable than charon's constant quips (read whining). --Dr. Clayton Forrestor 04:51, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
can anyone confirm or debunk carlwolf's claim that the armor alerts others/enemies with voice? i dont believe this is true as it never changes my hidden to caution/danger. please advise, thanks. -Dr F
To Dr F, I can confirm this. as in a building I was crouched and not moving and my suit yelled something due to a nearby super mutant. Despite being perfectly still, The mutant was alerted by the sound and began searching for me mumbling "someone there?". Gave me a bit of a chuckle actually that he heard the suit.
- Is there a way to tell just what the suit's perception is? My girlfriend is currently using it on her character and it routinely notices baddies before they show up as red compass marks (I think her perception is 6). I can also confirm that its yelling has alerted enemies that she had tried to sneak up on. -126.96.36.199 02:23, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
In my experience it isn't the suit that's doing the detecting, but rather warning you when the enemy has detected you.--184.108.40.206 00:50, April 18, 2012 (UTC)

Medic Armor location Edit
Ok the Medic Armor disapears if you leave Old Olney sewers but in the 360 it is reported that it can be found in the Deathclaw Sanctuary. Where in the Deathclaw Sanctuary? Does anybody know?
Can anyone confirm this. If anyone can that would be great. 126.96.36.199 05:36, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
The Medic Armor is definately not in the Old Olney sewers on the 360 version. After searching for the better part of an hour I gave up and watched the Youtube clips. In the area specified on the clips there are no fresh bodies, only skeletons and no BOS initiates.22.214.171.124 22:42, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
Spent awhile searching around Deathclaw Sanctuary and never found the Medic Armor.188.8.131.52 22:42, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
I found it in Old Olney Servers, unpatched XBOX 360. :P 18.104.22.168 23:37, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
I am running patched game and have found the medic power armor every time in the Old Olney sewers on 5+ characters but have never seen it clearing the deathclaw sanctuary on the 360--LTHENSON 06:29, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
- While playing on the last character I created, I was unable to obtain the armour. I went to Olney the moment I reached 12 in order to get the armour (first time exploring the area on that character) and I didn't find the armour. I've read about a similar incident elsewhere also. Is there anywhere else to obtain it.. as in wastelanders that pick it up... Similar to the ghoul that needs the keys for the T51b?
I was playing fallout and wanted to get the medic armor(I wanted it cause it talked lol) anyway i went to old olney( like my 4th time) I never saw it (i also downloaded Broken steel this may be why.) but the only explanation is its only for the computer (well probably) the video link on how to get it was on the pc if anyone finds out a permenent way to get plz tell me.
- i play on 360 and if you go to the sewer's once but don't get the armor first time, at least on 360, if u return its gone and un-obtainable, this is a known bug so don't be too shocked, sucks cause i missed it while doing the quest for tesla coil.Toolazytomakeaaccount 03:17, November 19, 2009 (UTC)
Holy crap that sucks i passed through old olney a long time ago b4 knowing about the medic armor when i found out i went back and no armor ugh ( i also wanted it cause it talked lol )
Brotherhood/Enclave chat Edit
Anyone can provide a reference or proof that you can encounter people talking about the Power Armour and why it was never recovered? That Furry Bastard 11:24, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, I am sure its a random encounter. Jetholt (Jetty) 21:48, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

ok im really interested to know also about this conversation about the armor too, i mean i go to the citadel very frequently and ive never heard about such a explanation from someone about why they didnt send anyone to get the armor, we need to know! - mat mod.
Im on my ps3 and i cant find this initiate... I only found skeletons where the body should be. If someone can help contact me at email@example.com..
IF YOU HAVE BEEN IN THE SEWERS BEFORE AND DIDN'T GET IT THEN, THE ARMOR WILL DISAPEAR! (this is unknown why)
Serious Glitch Edit
Well when i saw saw on this site that there was Power Armor that gave you Med-X automatically, i thought it was pretty awesome. I went down to get the armor with minimal trouble(but i got tons of scares from deathclaws jumping out out from corners). I put it on and left Old Olney. Within 5 minutes of using it my entire stock of stimpacks was gone. Not that i used them, just that they were gone. Disappeared. I was pretty angry since i had about 120+ in my inventory. Has this happened to anyone else?
Follower usage? Edit
If you give it and some med-X to your follower, will it work? if yes, it will be pretty useful.
I, too, would like to know how it functions on a companion. Does it still issue warnings of nearby foes? Do you still hear it's warnings? Do the foes? Does it's special med-x affect companions? 22.214.171.124 17:23, February 4, 2012 (UTC) ashadowalker 126.96.36.199 17:23, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
Non-prototype Medic Power Armor? Edit
Was it actually stated anywhere that the medic armor wasn't completed at any point? I know the suit was just a prototype but do we know if the Completed Medic Power armor was developed or not? It could mean an appearance in a future fallout game.
(The complete version of the Medic Power Armor was meant to distribute a variety of drugs whilst in combat, the prototype version was only capable of morphine (Med-X) injections.)
Armor not their Edit
When i went to old olney sewers on my new save after downloading the first 3 add-ons I went through the sewers during the quest shock value only to find 3 skeletons where the initiate was supposed to be. In my old save I had already gotten the armor before downloading any of the add-ons but when i went to find it at tenpenny tower it was nowhere to be found. Not really about the armor but on my old save i cannot enter tenpenny tower at all.
theories about the armor Edit
this armor is tied almost directly with t51b armor, the reason is this is the last known armor created before the bombs fell, which means it has more parts in it related enough to fix the t51b. also it was made most likely in fort constantine, and kept there long enough so it would not be repaired over the years into a totally different armor, despite its similar appearence. after so long, the brotherhood had come and investigated the fort, and found this unique armor, however there might have been only one person that came to get it, since the armor is found only with the wearer. why the initiate left a set of t51b in its place, is unknown, possibly at the time they had more suits of t51b at the bos headquarters, so it was considered higher technological value, so they left the t51b because they couldent carry it. then somehow they ended up dead at old olney, aparently saving some people?
Vanishing Armor Edit
The guy wearing the armour has gone from the sewers in my game, and it MAY be tied to Broken Steel, as I can see some rubble that may be hiding the body.
No if you enter the sewers and leave the armor will vanish(ps sign you posts)BigDogW 21:21, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
Followers? Edit
If you equip this armor onto a follower, does the armor still talk, or does it only talk if you wear it? SplittingTheAtom 00:48, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
- It isn't talking if you equip it onto a follower. It seems this armor doesn't work as medic armor either on a follower:( I gave a lot of Med-X to a follower equipped with Medic Power Armor, but the number of his Med-X never changed. Even when he died, after a heavy battle, he still had all Med-X I'd given to him. --Prygme 00:29, October 8, 2009 (UTC)
Hmmmm... I'm gonna try to find out...--BloodOmelet 01:21, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
Lemme know lol... I'm currently working on a group of army-related followers. I've got 2 winterized combat armors and the 2 T-51Bs, I just need something with personality SplittingTheAtom 14:35, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
Does anyone know of a way to get the power armor if it disapears?
Requires Power Armor Training on 360 Edit
The Medic Power Armor Prototype requires Power Armor Training on the 360 with current patches applied. Even after reading the manual. Sadly.
Of course you need the training b/c it is POWER ARMOR and please sign you postYou have failed again young one 23:31, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
an interesting mod? Edit
maybe someone should make a mod for a complete version of medic power armor, one that has the ability to use stimpacks but so its not overpowered, like use a stimpack if your health hits 25% and then dont use one till you go back to 25% and give it the health of wintereized T-51b power armor, and also the ability to negate the crippling limbs thing like prototype does, maybe also an helmet to go along with it...and maybe make it so that the helmet dispenses the stimpacks into the neck directly and the armor gives the anti crippling thing, wish i had a pc tht could play fallout 3...eh 360's okay.Toolazytomakeaaccount 19:28, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
- Naw, stimpaks would be overpowered, because you can just pop up your PipBoy and inject yourself into a stupor. A Prototype Medic Power Helmet wouldn't be half bad, though. +3 Medicine and +8 Rad Resist, perhaps? Nitty 19:37, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
- no i dont mean you choose to inject i mean it auto injects once when you get to 25% health, then if you go down past 25% before say..3 minutes it wouldn't inject, then if you took damage after the time limit, it would inject once, wouldn't be too overpowered but it would be used more then T-51b due to basically being T-51b with health benefits...Toolazytomakeaaccount 20:10, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
Crazy damn thing Edit
Do not die while its talking it lets out what sounds (in the slo mo effects) of a very very loud screaming noise, made me jump on max volume after i got instakilled by a super mutant overlord =<
On 4:53 of the video at the bottom of the article, the armor says "Time to kick some *ss", not "It's time to kick some *ss. Should it be changed? The Jovar 21:45, September 8, 2010 (UTC)
Change it if you want, its correct is it not? Sparky talk ??? .
Fallout: New Vegas Edit
Not too long ago I added that this armor is available in Fallout: New Vegas trough console commands, but lacks the med-x dispenser and voice. But not too long after this was removed. Why was this removed? Since the Enclave armor from Fallout 3 has a similiar note and I think it is worth mentioning.--BlitzKrieg-BoB 13:18, February 17, 2011 (UTC)

I have added a notable quote, but since I play as a female I only wrote the female form (ma'am). I'm not sure what it says when you are male (probably sir), so please add this if you find out.

(Edit: Forgot to log on, changed signature)
miss my armor's voice Edit
is there a way to make a console commanded version of this work in fnv? i've noticed other items seem to have scripts in my inventory if i take it apart, maybe the medic armor has one that could be ported to fnv?
what is the suit's effect listed as?
shoot em in the head quest Edit
sounds like this is what was originally behind the stasis field. maybe the initiate took it and left his own armor behind field to keep safe since couldn't carry both?
the terminal says medic armor, the armor we do find was no longer prototype phase, med book in room, geck has keys tagged with ms14.
No BoS members at the Citadel talk about this armor Edit
I've played this game up and down left to right, and I've talk to every one in the Citadel while wearing this armor (Scribes and normal soldiers as well) and not a single one of them has every said anything about this armor. I can only assume that the person who posted "If you talk to one of the BOS at the Citadel, they will say how they did not send anyone in to retrieve the armor because of the surrounding deathclaws." in the notes section made it up, and unless any proof can be provided to the contrary, I think it should be removed, because it's just downright misleading. I for one was incredibly disappointed to learn it was a hoax. --22.214.171.124 21:48, February 8, 2012 (UTC)
Really? You were disappointed by that? Sorry to hear it. That's the thing with Wiki-style sites. Anyone can post anything at all.
- Not true. If it were really so, then half of wiki would be fake. So the info must be removed. Energy X ∞ 18:42, August 1, 2012 (UTC)
p.s. In Fallout 3, there's a gun called Striker, it's a sniper rifle that does 200 damage at full repair, with a good zoom rating. Just a little north of Vault 101 there's a group of raiders, one is named, and he drops Striker.
p.p.s. See what I mean?
I truly do regret that you were mis-led, but spending that much time trying to see if BoS NPC's will talk about the armour shows that, perhaps, you have a little too much free time? If you've done everything in that file, why not start a new one? If you haven't finished everything, why not work on some of your other stuff? Don't be mad, I'm just Saiyan (TeamFourStar DBZ abridged refference) -Keldun August 1, 2012
I understand that it doesn't come with its own helmet, but can another helmet be worn with it, like the glitch with the Chinese Stealth Suit, or does the entire suit count as full-body with no availability to wear another helmet?Foxi Hooves (talk) 02:33, July 12, 2013 (UTC)
it's just a suit of power armor like any other, no issue with wearing helmets, just put on whatever you feel like.--Katikar (talk) 03:03, July 12, 2013 (UTC)

I don't always do what the doctor says, but this time he's on the money:
The intent of the air toxics program - which is distinct from technology-based federal programs aimed at toxins of concern on a national level - is safeguarding the health of North Carolinians, by protecting communities near heavy industry from exposure to levels of toxic air pollutants that have been determined to create harmful health effects. And the program is working. Since adoption of the rules, there has been a steady decline in reported toxic air emissions--emissions reported in 2009 were about one-third the levels reported in 1998.
Which in free-market-ese translates to: Our air is much cleaner than it used to be! We don't need these burdensome regulations anymore!
When drafting the North Carolina rules in 1990, our state's Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) identified toxic air pollutants emitted in North Carolina that could harm the health of North Carolinians. During 2010, North Carolina industries self-reported releasing over 34 million pounds of toxic substances and nearly 1.5 million pounds of cancer causing chemicals in air emissions. These emissions included PCBs, dioxins, asbestos, arsenic, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, mercury, selenium, formaldehyde, cyanide, benzene, toluene and dozens of known carcinogens that are covered by existing state regulations designed to protect the public health.
Federal rules are source-specific and do not address all emission sources at a facility. For example, federal rules for pulp and paper mills don't cover sources that account for about 37% of facility-wide toxic air emissions. In addition, federal rules set standards for only a limited number of pollutants and do not address all air toxics. In the case of pulp and paper mills, these rules do not cover 11 compounds such as ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and methyl mercaptan that are evaluated under the state program because they are considered a health threat locally, despite not rising to the concern level nationally.
Once again, for those Legislators who can't seem to grasp it: For the most part, Federal regulations (via the EPA) and state regulations (via DENR) are not duplicative, they're complementary. And that's by design, not accident.
Efforts by industry (and their elected lackies) to pit the two against each other are driven by one purpose, and one purpose only: To create loopholes in the regulatory framework that will allow them to (once again) pollute our air and water indiscriminately, placing our health and welfare at risk, with nothing but a P&L statement to guide their behavior.
Nice tags
Heh :)
Adding to the online archive relating to "Republican idiocy" is about like pouring a teaspoonful of salty water into the Pacific. ;)

A selection of 32 photographs by Paul Hardy Carter. The photographer uses simple equipment - black and white film, a standard 50mm lens - to capture the world as he passes through it.
The pictures in this book are from many European countries: Spain, England, Germany, Hungary, Serbia, Bosnia Herzegovina and Slovakia. They are all full frame, in other words not "cropped", and are not manipulated in the darkroom or in post production.
The book includes an introduction in which the photographer discusses his approach and technique.
This is a collection of fine pictures from a photographer who does what he knows best, and does it well.
PLEASE NOTE: The price includes the Custom Workflow charge, to achieve maximum print quality, and the Premium Paper supplement.

Acerca del creador
I develop projects that I'm interested in, raise the money to do them, then try to sell the pictures. I work very simply: black and white 35mm, one lens. There is some work from Europe on my website. Places on my 'radar' are: Kosovo, Algeria & Morocco, Sri Lanka, Laos. I just love wandering around with a camera in my hand.
