    247 - such is the world today that it's not only New York, New York that never sleeps - all sorts of companies and services are now available 24/7 - although the staff may be in different time zones to achieve this.

    Sheeeez - I can't even pronounce any of this let alone understand any of it. Sounds very painful though.


    JWH-249 (1-pentyl-3-(2-bromophenylacetyl)indole) is a synthetic cannabinoid from the phenylacetylindole family, which acts as a cannabinoid agonist with about 2.4x selectivity for CB1 with a Ki of 8.4nM ± 1.8 and 20nM ± 2 at CB2. Similar to the related 2'-methoxy compound JWH-250, the 2'-chloro compound JWH-203, and the 2'-methyl compound JWH-251, JWH-249 has a phenylacetyl group in place of the naphthoyl ring used in most aminoalkylindole cannabinoid compounds.

    ENJOY REFINED POWER FROM A V6 PETROL ENGINE WITH 6-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, PADDLE SHIFTS AND MANUAL ‘M’ MODE.

    Inside the new IS 250 you’ll enjoy a sedan that combines advanced ergonomic design with exquisite Lexus details like wood inlays and a beautifully finished central analogue clock. Fitted with a 2.5-litre V6 petrol engine delivering 208 DIN hp of highly responsive power, this dynamic new compact sedan will accelerate rapidly up to 225 km/h, where permitted.

    Driving the rear wheels, the IS 250’s 6-speed automatic transmission features paddle shifts and a manual 'M' mode. For class-leading rear passenger comfort, the car’s wheelbase has been extended by 70 mm, while the rear seats also fold flat 60:40 – ideal for transporting bulkier objects.

    Negative 263 spawned in 2005 by drummer Chris Sanchez and guitarist Zane McBride, introducing a heavy – in your face, brutal style of metal to Abilene, TX. After touring the southern region for a year with many well-known local acts, the band approached Jagermeister in 2006, which led to a long-term endorsement.

    Negative 263 introduced their new bass player Lodi Mitchell, who already had his fair share of recognition from his previous band, in the midst of 2006. With the addition of his experience, talent, and solid bass tone, the band’s style and sound was ready for the next level of their success. The band moved on to bigger & better shows (courtesy of Jagermeister) with such bands as Staind, Disturbed, Type O Negative, Slipknot, Hatebreed, Killswitch Engage, Shadows Fall, Machine Head, and many more.

    In late 2008 Negative 263 decided that it was time for a change in their sound & style. Throughout their past touring experience Chris and Zane of Negative 263 had met singer Tony Housh and guitarist Sam McCrory whom played in Dallas, TX band together. They were immediately attracted to their musical style, talent, and stage presence.

    Since the addition of Tony and Sam, the band has revamped their style and sound, making it more commercially acceptable with intense melodies and ambient / theme-like guitar layers while still providing the solid, heavy punch that Negative 263 has been famous for in the past. The band’s line up is now complete and they eagerly await the release of their upcoming album Autumns Winter, scheduled to release Spring 09’.

    H.264/MPEG-4 Part 10 or AVC (Advanced Video Coding) is a standard for video compression, and is currently one of the most commonly used formats for the recording, compression, and distribution of high definition video. The final drafting work on the first version of the standard was completed in May 2003.
