Air vs. Surface Sampling Techniques
Mold tests can be divided into two categories: air and surface. If you find it necessary to perform a mold test (e.g. for legal purposes), then it would be advisable to take at least one surface sample and one air sample.
The reason is, in some situations, you may have mold growing on surface, yet it has not reached a point where it is releasing very many mold spores into the air. In which case, air sampling alone would provide results that did not accurately portray the extent of mold growth.
Or, you may have a situation where, in your random surface sampling, you did not sample a surface where mold was growing (or at least not at a significant level), but mold colonies throughout other parts of the home had reached a point where they were releasing substantial amounts of mold spores into the air. In this case, your surface sampling would not give you and accurate picture of the problem.

This article on toy train tables and boards was reviewed prior to publication by Vicki Anderson, M.Ed. and Glenna W. Tabor, M.Ed.
01 of 07
Why I Have Issues with O Scale
Last January I was in a hobby store and overheard a man telling the salesman how his son had gotten a Lionel O scale train for Christmas, and this proud father had built a board on casters so that his son's train track layout could be rolled under the child's bed. Now they were in the store shopping for more track (believe it or not, even children find simple ovals of track boring).
The best help the salesman could give was to let the father look through a book of Lionel track layouts. As he flipped through the pages the boy would smile and put his finger on a diagram. Each time the father would say "It won't fit on your board", and the boy would look crestfallen.
To me, that was heartbreaking to observe.
02 of 07
Doing Your Homework
If you're a parent shopping for a child's train set, and you haven't read the parent's guide or scales for childrens' trains articles, I think you'll find them useful.
O scale? Forget train tables, O scale trains are the original "carpet runners". O scale layouts take a lot of space, and it's the parents' responsibility to decide just how much space a child actually has available to them, not the child's.
Even though low end O scale sets are competitively priced with better N and HO scale sets, I have serious reservations about giving O scale train sets to children. As I was writing the article on scales for children's trains it soon became apparent that the issues with giving O scale trains to children needed its own article.
03 of 07
Getting Your Money's Worth
For me to tell you "giving kids Lionel trains for Christmas is a tradition, so everyone should start their children in model railroading with O scale trains" would be popular but misleading. While the first part of that statement may be true, I disagree with the conclusion entirely. It has been both my personal experience and my observation that O scale trains amount to short-term satisfaction and long-term disappointment or disinterest for children. And I'm not the only one who's made this observation, I've discussed it with others before writing this article. My goal in writing this is not to bash O scale, but to alert parents that their money might be better spent on something with greater potential for long-term satisfaction.
04 of 07
Size and Space Considerations
Most O scale starter sets today come with a 40" x 60" inch oval of integrated roadbed track. That's not going to fit on any train table unless you're building one in your basement or garage. And if you think the child is going to be happy with that 40" x 60" oval indefinitely, you are fooling yourself.
Interesting O scale layouts require a minimum of about 4'x8' for your children's train tracks. And remember, as your child's electric train layouts become more complex, it becomes less and less practical to take them apart and put them away when the child is finished playing with them. Requiring that they put their tracks away at the end of a play session could easily become tedious enough to cause them to lose interest in their trains.Continue to 5 of 7 below.
05 of 07
Your Child's Strength is a Factor
In my experience, Lionel's Fastrack integrated roadbed track takes a great deal of physical strength to snap sections together. I was setting up an oval of FasTrack with a friend of mine who works out at a gym daily. While he's not actually a body builder, he is a muscular individual. As we were putting the sections of FasTrack together he commented to me that they couldn't possibly expect children to be able to do it.
The other major manufacturer of three-rail O scale trains is MTH. RealTrax is the name of the integrated roadbed track marketed by MTH. In fairness, I can't comment on how hard it is to assemble MTH RealTrax because, at the time of this writing, I haven't worked with it.
06 of 07
AC Transformers and Reverseing Issues
A three-rail set will use an AC transformer instead of a DC power pack. My Lionel CW-80 transformer is too heavy for children to move, let alone set up. From an educational standpoint, the purpose in giving electric trains to small children is the development of the child's hand eye coordination. They practice these skills by controlling the train's speed and direction of travel. While you don't necessarily need to understand the electronics involved, you do need to know that the directional controls on AC transformers are more difficult to operate than those of DC power packs. So unless you're planning on spending big bucks for a digital controlled system, this is another reason I would shy away from O scale for children.
07 of 07
Keeping Up With the Times
The name "Lionel" is synonymous with electric trains in the minds of many parents and grandparents. But Lionel's preeminence dates back to when American homes were more spacious and children didn't have the number of toys cluttering their rooms that they have today.
Today Lionel only produces electric trains in the O, S and G scales. My criteria for selecting trains for children are primarily cost and space. Given that, and also considering the additional problems with reversing direction of travel, and the physical strength required for setting up O scale trains, I'm of the opinion that the O and S scales aren't for children anymore. I'm sorry to have to say it, I actually own some O scale trains that I like very much.

Today RBI Governor D Subbarao announced the annual Credit Policy. RBI hiked the Repo Rate(the rate at which RBI lends money to banks) and the Reverse Repo Rate(The rate at which banks deposit money with the RBI) by 50 basis points to7.25% and 6.25% respectively.
These measures were taken with a view to curb the burgeoning inflation.
CRR (Cash Reserve Ratio-The proportion of a bank's deposits which is mandatorily needs to be parked with the Reserve Bank) was untouched at 6%.
Economic growth projection was lowered to 8% for this fiscal year.
The only announcement which shall rejoice a common man to a little extent was raising the saving bank interest rate to 4%, which earlier was 3.5%.
Hike in policy rates was not at all un-expectable as inflation rate was hovering at 9% level in March and this measure is expected to bring the inflation down by easing the demand pressure.
RBIs move shall make credit dearer and as banks shall raise the interest rates for the debtors.
Dearer credit is detrimental especially for infrastructure, capital goods and heavy engineering companies, which require money for capacity expansion. Least affected companies shall be technology companies with zero or little debt.
Banks too shall have a negative impact as their NIM (Net Interest Margin-The difference between interest income and the interest expense) shall be hit badly.
If banks shall hike their lending rates then their credit growth gets hampered, apart from the fact that banks may have to raise the deposit rates.
This was a necessary step by RBI, as inflation was sure to rise further after the forthcoming hike in diesel prices, which seems inevitable due to burgeoning crude under-recovery.
Common person who has taken a bank loan at floating rate shall have to pay higher EMIs (Equated Monthly Installments) or shall have extended loan tenure.

Pomona police are searching for a Diamond Bar man who is suspected of shooting an acquaintance in a garage during a random act of violence.
Enrique Tinoco Parra, 26, and Patrick Sean Hunt, 19, were visiting with a mutual friend Tuesday at a house on Raven Hill Drive when Parra, "for no apparent reason," allegedly took out a gun and shot Hunt in the neck, according to a police news release.
Parra then ran from the residence, police said. Officers searched the surrounding area but did not find him.
Hunt, of Pomona, was treated at the scene then flown to a local hospital, according to the news release. He was in stable condition during the flight.
Anyone with information about the shooting, or Parra's whereabouts, can call the Pomona Police Department, 909-620-2095, or the WeTip hotline, 800-782-7462.

I loved creating this beautiful embroidery art for my cousin's baby girl. One tip: I found it easier to use an embroidery needle one size larger for the pink wool.

Legend attributes the sandwich to the whim of John Montagu, the Fourth Earl of Sandwich in 18th-century England. When the earl was too busy to consume a proper meal, he had a waiter hand him some salt beef between two slices of toasted bread.
From this expedient beginning, the humble sandwich has entered the canon of handheld meals. Nearly all diners, pubs and casual restaurants offer a selection of hot and cold sandwiches, and a few, such as Stak Shak in Allison Park, specialize in them.
Here, it's all about the execution of mostly tried-and-true classics like the burger, the reuben and the BLT. The innovation is in the top-shelf ingredients and occasional modern, meaningful updates, such as pickled-ketchup aioli on the Colonel Klink (a.k.a. reuben), and leeks and jalapeño cream on the hot turkey. Appetizers and a half-dozen "comfort dishes" round out the menu.
Located on a stretch of country road between Route 8 and North Park, Stak Shak occupies a small but rambling building nestled along a creek in the woods. A glassed-in rear dining room with a stone fireplace, half hunting lodge and half solarium, must be spectacular in the summer or in snow, but on a rainy winter night, we sat in the small dining room beside the cheerily-lit bar. Like the menu, the decor was simple but quirky: all gray and red, punctuated by a few prints and a big, cartoonish mural of the animals featured on the menu.
Our first appetizer, a nacho-like potato-chip bake, was topped with chewy bacon, tangy Vermont blue-cheese sauce and plentiful scallions: a perfect taste combo. The only downside was the chips themselves. Hand-cut to a thicker texture than bagged chips, these were a little pale and ranged from slightly soft to a bit tough. Only a handful caught that perfect crisp.
"Bang bang" cauliflower — panko-coated and baked in sriracha aioli — had a nice crisp exterior, but the florets were only just cooked by frying, so that the interior was too firm to really contrast with the crust. But the sriracha aioli was flawless, flavorful with just a bit of kick, and expertly drizzled on top.
Charred Brussels sprouts were also firmer than we like and lacked the crispy outer leaves their name suggested. But the size of the cut suited the sprouts, and their flavor profile was excellent, well balanced between salty and sweet, and boosted by big pieces of softened, tangy red onion and a fruity balsamic dressing.
Meat patties are available in turkey, salmon, steak or crab. The first of these turned out to be inspired. Lean turkey burgers tend to be either dry and pebbly or loaded up with masking ingredients. But this one, served simply on a brioche bun, was flawlessly supple and tender. We thought we detected a panade, a bread-dairy mixture usually used to enrich meatballs, resulting in a tender, juicy burger that was also well seasoned with herbal notes.
A traditional egg-dipped Monte Cristo has a layer of jam among the turkey, ham and Swiss cheese. Stak Shak enticed Angelique by skipping the jam, swapping out Swiss for Gouda, and adding only a slight sprinkling of powdered sugar on the fried surface of the Italian bread. Sweetness could be added back in, to taste, via the cup of maple syrup served on the side. This sandwich would make a stellar breakfast, though it tended toward heavy and soggy.
Yet a third turkey sandwich, "Going Hot Turkey," was a triumph, no less than the best turkey sandwich of Jason's life. The shredded breast meat itself was fantastic enough to distinguish any sandwich, comparable in savor to pulled pork, yet it wasn't the sole focus. Roasted tomatoes, tender sautéed leeks and jalapeño cream, all on a lightly grilled hoagie roll, amplified the flavor of this sandwich to pure deliciousness.
Four boneless pieces of chicken breast, more substantial than tenders or fingers, were served atop a single Belgian waffle in our comfort dish of choice. The chicken had a golden-brown crust and juicy interior, but the waffle, flavored with cheddar and chive, was a standout: light and fluffy with savory flavors mingling with a faint sweetness and hints of malt, or perhaps buttermilk. Southern-style pan gravy had excellent chicken flavor but a strangely pudding-like texture.
We finished with a chocolate-butterscotch brownie a la mode, the butterscotch coming in the form of golden crumbs sprinkled atop a tall, cakey brownie that was packed with chocolate flavor. It was an indulgent finish to a pretty great meal.
Without gimmicks or pretension, Stak Shak delivers fantastic versions of food you already like.

A pound of fat is equivalent to approximately 3,500 excess calories, according to the Mayo Clinic. Because weight loss is the result of creating a caloric deficit, you can lose about a pound per week by consuming 3,500 fewer calories than you normally take in weekly. Organization, discipline and simple math can help you reach this goal.
Determine Caloric Intake
Spend one week eating the foods you normally eat. Record everything you take in, including beverages and condiments. If you use a pen and paper, carry a small notepad with you. You can also record it on your computer or on a more convenient device, such as your phone.
Look up the number of calories in each item on Livestrong.com's MyPlate or another free nutrition resource and record them. Pay attention to serving sizes to make sure you get the most accurate numbers possible.
Add it all together to determine the number of calories you normally consume each week. Continuing this diet would cause you to either maintain your current weight or gain weight.
Reduce Your Caloric Intake
Subtract 3,500 from your weekly caloric intake. If you normally take in 15,000 calories, your number is now 11,500.
Divide by seven to determine the number of calories you should be taking in daily. If your goal is 11,500 calories per week, your daily goal is about 1,640 calories per day.
Write down everything you eat for one week again, including your caloric intake for each item, but do not exceed your reduced number each day. Be thorough. If you eat a sandwich, look up every ingredient on the sandwich.
Items you will need
- Pen
- Paper
- Calculator
- To reduce your caloric intake without eating significantly less food, cut out high-fat ingredients, such as butter or mayonnaise, and increase your intake of fiber and protein, which will help fill you up and keep your appetite satisfied. Avoid high-calorie beverages and replace them with calorie-free water.
- Avoid food high in saturated fat. A gram of fat has nine calories, while a gram of carbohydrates or protein has four calories. Check labels to keep your fat intake below 30 percent of your total caloric intake and opt for food containing healthy unsaturated fat, such as plant-based oils, nuts and fish.

This past weekend I was lucky enough to visit Pinnacles Youth Park, located about 12 miles north of MU's campus off U.S. 63, on two separate occasions.
As a recent immigrant from Texas, I'm enamored with the concept of spring. This season, and any other besides stifling summer, is a phenomenon that is largely absent from all parts of the Lone Star State, and something I've never encountered.
In Missouri, the trees bloom. The flowers shoot through the ground and blanket flowerbeds with vibrant blossoms seemingly overnight, enveloping the air with their fragrance. The sun peaks through the clouds in the morning and it rains in the afternoon, never reaching much higher than a mild 75 degrees.
In Texas, there are two colors and two temperatures throughout the year — green and warm if you're lucky, and brown and boiling if you aren't.
As someone who moved to the Midwest after the summer of one of the worst drought's in Texas' history, I can't believe that flowers that are planted here in October can survive to bloom in March.
Pinnacles Youth Park only furthered my admiration for Mother Nature's most recent debut.
Friday afternoon afforded me the opportunity to hike with friends up the trail and across the park's various rock faces and cliffs. We spotted the first signs of budding trees rebounding from winter, and saw flowers blossoming on Dogwoods.
Saturday morning gave me the chance to see the sunrise from atop one of the peaks at Pinnacles— an opportunity not to be missed, and without a doubt one of the highlights of this Texan's first spring here in Columbia.

About the Play
Black Wall Street is thriving in Tulsa Oklahoma in 1921. As a Memorial Day parade marches through downtown Tulsa, an African American shoe shiner, Dick Rowland, trips and falls against a white female elevator operator, Sarah Page. Rumors of rape and an arrest ensue. Dick is branded as "Diamond Dick" and the white owned newspaper calls for a lynching. White mobs are confronted by African American veterans of WW I, and a conflagration begins. Shots are fired, white mobs attack and burn Black Wall Street as preparations of prom night, school plays are performed and movies are shown at The Dreamland Theatre. Forty eight hours of rampage ensue with aerial attacks and machine guns, the body count is up to 300 dead when the National Guard is called in to restore order. As the once thriving area of segregated Tulsa lies in ruin and ashes, African Americans are rounded up into internment camps. Dick Rowland is released from jail and meets Sarah years later in Kansas City. They drink coffee. The Tulsa Race Riots are buried in history in unmarked graves like many of the victims.
Director: Raphael Perry, Dallas

Reporters Without Borders Pixelated Truth
The Reporters Without Borders "Pixelated Truth" advertising campaign was used to spark a worldwide discussion on the impact of news censorship. The biggest problem of censorship is not the sole withdrawal of information but the fact that it distorts the truth and hence creates a new story. Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton, David Cameron and Vladimir Putin are each presented with enough distortion of their hands to suggest unseemly gestures. "Censorship tells the wrong story". The Pixelated Truth campaign recently won a Golden Drum Grand Prix for Press (Social & charity).
The Pixelated Truth campaign was developed at MEMAC Ogilvy, Beirut by creative director Ramzi Moutran, art directors Leonardo Borges, Rafael Rizuto, art director/copywriter Sascha Kuntze, account director/manager Benoit Freyburger, using photography accessed via AFP.

(Auburn, KS)
I have constructed my hive and installed the foundations in all the frames and am confused as how to stack them. My intent is to put the deep boxes on the bottom and shallow on top to harvest honey from. Where should the queen separator go? There is a board w/frame and a oblong hole in the center, it is also marked this side up, what is it and where should it go. Thanks for your help.
Hi Darryl,
Yes, the conventional configuration is to put deep supers (boxes) on the bottom, and the shallow on top. So your intention is correct.
Typically the deep supers are used for the brood nest, and the shallow supers are used for honey storage, with the intention of harvesting honey by removing the shallow supers.
What you're referring to as a "queen separator" is actually called a queen excluder. Its job is to keep the queen from laying eggs in the supers that are to be used for honey harvest. That's to avoid the inconvenience of having brood mixed in with the honey at harvest time.
Starting out, though, you won't need the queen excluder (some beekeepers never use them at all). You won't need the shallow supers either.
When you start your hive, one deep super will be plenty of room. You won't need to add more room for quite a while. And though it's not impossible, it's somewhat improbable that you'll be harvesting any significant amount of honey the first season. So you may not need the shallow supers until next season.
If you start your hive this season, and it builds up nicely and stores honey enough to make it through the first winter, I'd consider that a very successful first season.
Almost forgot - the board with the oblong hole in it is the inner cover. It goes between the outer cover and the top of the top super. Inner covers come with an oblong hole so that a bee escape can be inserted. Bee escapes are sometimes used during honey harvest. (Though there are better ways to use bee escapes than with the inner cover.)
The hole in the inner cover is sometimes also used for feeding. A feeder jar or bucket can be inverted over the hole, and an empty super placed on the inner cover, and the outer cover placed on top of the empty super.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

Very likely the final installment of the Badger…
The Badger doesn't normally like repeating himself, but he may make an exception for this one and very last time. Anyway before the end of the next paragraph he will sum up the first part of the story.
In the early 2000's, the Badger moved Down Unda and signed for Maroubra Soccer Club. Although the club was small in size, "literally", it had big aspirations. There was much hype about his arrival and the Badger had a huge reputation to live up to.
After the bitter failure in the Badger's first game for Maroubra, yours truly was due a big performance to catapult this illustrious club up the league. Some people highlight a particular game against the Mascot Kings as the turning point for the club's fortunes.
Playing on a typically mild 35 degree celsius Australian day, this game turned out to be anything but a normal game of soccer. Defying the written laws, it was agreed between the two coaches that the game would consist of four quarters so as to incorporate more water breaks, while also playing on a pitch with smaller dimensions to minimise running.
You really can't fault the Aussies' health and safety concerns, but as for their morals of the game, they were completely out of check. After 28 minutes, the Badger was the only factor holding the game at a steady score of 9-0. However, by the 32nd minute, a tenth goal was almost inevitable, and the Maroubran coach knew as much. So with no intention of seeing his side lose by a league record margin of 15 goals he called across the touchline "Oi Mate, first to farteen yeah". His call was greeted with a confident nod, and left this Badger an unhappy camper.
With his team now losing goals by the second in order to reduce the chance of a player dropping dead from dehydration, the Badger was now amounting a serious cache of rage and pondering his next action. The game was far out of his individual reach, so like any raging footballer who was losing by a hefty margin, he began to time his tackles dangerously late, or more like Lee Bowyer late.
Coincidentally, this is in fact the origin of the name, the Badger. An animal renowned for breaking people's legs, this particular Badger began to hunt down his prey at the start of the second quarter. A small nippy right-winger with blonde highlights was the Badger's target and with one foul swoop, the Badger was determined to do some serious damage.
Most of the opposition's play was going through this right-sided midfielder and within a minute the Badger had his perfect opportunity. With his opponent running at full flight with the ball, the Badger dove in two-footed and carefully shattered the youngster's leg and life of walking unaided with a precise blow to his left femur.
Obviously Maroubra went onto lose the tie 14-0 and fulfill the forfeit, with the fourteenth goal being scored in the 35th minute. The last thing the Badger remembers hearing emanated from an Ambulance, as two paramedics frantically discussed which leg to amputate first.
To the discredit of all morals in football, the Badger escaped any form of punishment for the tackle, meaning he was eligible to take part in the New South Wales five-a-side Indoor Championship. Held in the one of the many stadia erected for the Sydney Olympics, the tournament was a developmental stage for some of Australia's most talented youth players to demonstrate their skills to the onlooking Socceroos coach Frank Farina.
To this day it is not known why the Badger in fact wound up playing in this tournament, but nevertheless, the story must continue. For the tournament, the Badger was deployed in the newfound role of destroyer. The position is self-explanatory, with the Badger being entrusted to disrupt any fluidity in the opposition's play.
It was in this elaborate position that the Badger cemented his nickname as he terrified opposition players after a series of leg breaking tackles left many crippled for life. This ruthless aspect of his play guided his team to the final and although the comprehensive 8-1 defeat didn't reflect the flow of the game, the Badger was hugely chuffed with his yellow card that he received for a neck breaking tackle from guest referee Dwight Yorke
Even the Badger will admit that the aforementioned reference to Dwight Yorke may be a tad obscure, but even more baffling was the sudden invite to the Australian under 13s soccer trials. Scheduled to be held in Lane Cove National Park, the Badger was delighted with his sudden international status and felt vindicated for all the work he invested into his game.
To wrap up a long winded story, the Badger never in fact made the Down Underers' under 13 team. He was deported exactly four hours before the trials with the Aussie authorities citing the lack of a Visa, passport and possession of performance enhancing worms the main reasons for the deportation of the acclaimed saviour of Australian football.

In the prepaid arena, financial institutions hold the important responsibility of managing and training 4th-party "downstream" vendors, but there is much to be done for third-party vendors if those responsibilities are to be fulfilled. This is the topic we'll be talking up next week as we participate in "Prepaid Off The Record Session: Know Your Third Party Vendors," a round-table discussion to be held during the APEX: ALL PAYMENTS EXPO slated for The Hyatt Regency, New Orleans, from March 20 through March 23. The session will be held on Monday, March 21, from 1:15 to 2:15 pm.
Our key message is, it's very clear that financial institutions—as well as the vendors that serve them and are charged with managing "downstream" fourth-party crucial vendors—must focus heavily on communication with third-party vendors. Third-party vendors that do not fall into the financial services category require information and training. Otherwise, it will be impossible for the oversight process to be of maximum efficiency and effectiveness.
Financial institutions and vendors with fourth-party vendor management responsibilities must educate downstream vendors about why the oversight process is necessary, the information needed for it to occur, and how the information should be provided it. Third-party vendors must be told, in the most articulate and crystal-clear manner possible, what is required from them in order to achieve these efficiency and effectiveness goals.
To be more specific, financial institutions are in the midst of configuring robust vendor management programs. However, they are probably exerting more effort than necessary as they do so, and would experience fewer difficulties along the way if the third-party vendors that are actually doing the program creation work had an understanding of what information is needed for the review process to occur and how to provide it. Maybe employee training records would be of help. Perhaps an employee risk management program, including background check, or a compliance program for risks associated with UDAPP (Unfair Deceptive or Abusive Acts or Practices), or a written vendor management program for fourth-party vendors. Compliance team qualifications and ongoing training information may belong on the list as well.
We will explore all of this—and more—in the session. And if you're at APEX, we would love to meet you. Get in touch by texting us at (678) 333-3254, or through the APEX app.

"BBC4, can we please get Goth Britannia made?" is a Facebook campaign – a year old this week – imploring the beautiful BBC to make "Goth Britannia":
We've had Soul Britannia, Prog Britannia and Synth Britannia and others, but surely there is a snakebite & black sized gap in the schedules for the daddy of 'em all… GOTH BRITANNIA.
Obviously this is long overdue and I think you should all head over to their Facebook page and hit the like button.

Look at any group of very young children playing. You'll be hard pushed to see a gender difference in confidence.
Look at that same group when they get to school. Already the conditioning will have left it's mark. Survey after survey tells us that boys claim more of a teacher's attention ( or are are given it).
If they are naturally assertive girls, good at organising, they will be called 'bossy', not a positive term. Boys, on the other hand, will be praised for exhibiting similar behavioural traits.
Lets get into to the teens. Our girls (and boys, this has a very negative effect on them too) will be subject to a barrage of sexist media content and air brushed idealised visions of someone's idea of what women should like (see Should Airbrushed Women Be Allowed).
Girls will begin to learn that even if they do well at school and get a really good degree they will earn less than their boy colleagues.
They will be seeing headlines that women earn less throughout their careers, regardless of qualifications.
They will also have seen nude women every day in a major newspaper. (More on that here) and had sexist comments made to them by complete strangers, ranging from the apparently inoffensive wolf whistle to unwanted touching.
And they will not have seen many women of substance and power in the news at all. Women need role models.
Lack of confidence would be a thing of the past if women did not have to compete in a world designed to favour men.
I wrote RenewYou very much with this information in mind. It's not about teaching women to behave like men, but about giving them a space to recapture that feeling they had as youngsters – that they can do anything they put their mind to.

2 Responses to "Women Are Not Born With a Lack of Confidence"
And use of language is very pertinent in this context too. I have long been an active advocate of egalitarian language – non-sexist language. Language is so important. Even those who proclaim themselves feminists, non-sexist etc fall foul of this trap. 'It's only a word.' Words create mind-sets and need to be used with awareness and perspicacity in order that they convey our message clearly and correctly. Hence, I hurt when , for example, a group of mixed-sex children are addressed as 'guys'. However are little girls to grow up knowing how to be female in such an environment? It's only a word. A word used in such a way that epitomises the patriarchal society we live in by which many are so brain-washed that they do not even notice.
Good to know that even in the 1930s, women were aware of the inequalities that exist between male and female. The struggle for equal right and opportunity for women has come a long way and still have a long way to go.

What has perplexed me most is a general lack of action from the church. Wherever in the nation you are, and have been affected, it should have been a time for people of faith to open their doors to the community, provide chances to listen, engage and show situations of hope.
I was delighted to see (this morning) that Westminster Central Hall in London is to host such an event - on Saturday.
http://notinournamelondon.wordpress.com/the-big-event/ It's aimed at young people and the idea is to get teenagers/youth talking about what has happened/is happening. It's at Westminster central hall tomorrow at 1.30pm
As the name makes clear, the violence and looting wasn't done in the young people's name- yet as books such as the 'Gilted Generation' make clear, there has been a socio-economic storm brewing which has alienated generations of young people through lack of role models, aspiration and economic oppertunity.
Please, if you are in London (and involved in youth work etc) alert your young people to this fantastic looking event. It's the sort of work that churches should be engaged in and shows everyones true worth....

In his lifetime many wondered if there was anything especially different in Einstein's. He insisted that on his death his brain be made available for research. When Einstein died in 1955, pathologist Thomas Harvey quickly preserved the brain and made samples and sections. He reported that he could see nothing unusual. The variations were within the range of normal human variations. There the matter rested until 1999. Inspecting samples that Harvey had carefully preserved, Sandra F. Witelson and colleagues discovered that Einstein's brain lacked a particular small wrinkle (the parietal operculum) that most people have. Perhaps in compensation, other regions on each side were a bit enlarged-the inferior parietal lobes. These regions are known to have something to do with visual imagery and mathematical thinking. Thus Einstein was apparently better equipped than most people for a certain type of thinking. Yet others of his day were probably at least as well equipped-Henri Poincar\u00e9 and David Hilbert, for example, were formidable visual and mathematical thinkers, both were on the trail of relativity, yet Einstein got far ahead of them. What he did with his brain depended on the nurturing of family and friends, a solid German and Swiss education, and his own bold personality.\n\n\n\n A late bloomer: Even at the age of nine Einstein spoke hesitantly, and his parents feared that he was below average intelligence. Did he have a learning or personality disability (such as "Asperger's syndrome," a mild form of autism)? There is not enough historical evidence to say. Probably Albert was simply a thoughtful and somewhat shy child. If he had some difficulties in school, the problem was probably resistance to the authoritarian German teachers, perhaps compounded by the awkward situation of a Jewish boy in a Catholic school.\n\n\n\n Einstein in the Bern patent office \n\n\n\n Einstein when his light bending theory conformed \n\n\n\n Einstein in Berlin with political figures \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n Einstein in a Berlin synagogue in 1930, playing his violin for a charity concert. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n The Solvay Congress of 1927 \n\n\n\n E = MC^2 \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n POSTWAR SIGNING \n\n\n\n Einstein in his study in his home in Berlin, 1919. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n Einstein at his home in Princeton, New Jersey \n\n\n\n signature of the legend \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Negative Externality
This content was COPIED from BrainMass.com - View the original, and get the already-completed solution here!
1. Identify one or more negative externalities that have an affect on an individual. Could existing or proposed laws have prevented this from happening?"
2. What are public goods? Why these goods are not produced in the private sector?
Solution Preview
1. One negative externality is pollution. The firms pollute (air or water). This impacts individual and may cause serious health issues for individuals living in highly polluted areas. The existing laws have prevented this negative externality to some extent by imposing fines on companies that pollute too much and putting caps on the amount of pollution a company can generate. Thus by doing this, government is trying to internalize the externality.
2. In economics, a public good is a good that is non-rivaled and non-excludable. This means, respectively, that consumption of the good by one individual does not reduce availability of the good for ...
Solution Summary
The solution provides an excellent response to the question being asked. It goes into a considerable amount of detail and explains the concepts being asked very well. The response starts off by explaining the externalities that may impact an individual and then describes the concept of public goods very well.

Thymosin Beta 4 TB500
Buy Thymosin Beta 4 TB500 online today at Peptides for Sale. TB500 comes in a small sterile container containing 5mg of Thymosin Beta 4 or TB500 .
Thymosin Beta 4 TB500 is also known as the following:
Thymosin Beta 4, TB500, TB-500, TB 500, Thymosin Beta4
Chemical Structure
Chemical Sequence
Chemical Formula
Molar mass
4963.44 g/mol
Thymosin Beta 4 TB-500 is a synthetic version of a naturally occurring peptide present in almost all human and animal cells. This potent peptide is a member of a ubiquitous family of 16 related molecules with a high conservation of sequence and localization in most tissues and circulating cells in in mammals. TB-500 not only binds to actin, but also blocks actin polymerization and is the actin-sequestering molecule in eukaryotic cells.
is a protein made up of 43 amino acids and a major part of cellular makeup in most mammalian tissue. Animal tests and experiments have shown the administration of Thymosin to be one of the most effective peptides for injury repair. It is also said to be one of the most effective peptides for ligament repair making it one of the best peptides for recovery. Thymosin Beta 4 hair growth research also shows promise. Thymosin hormone function research is leading researchers to breakthroughs in the areas of wound repair of the skin, heart and cornea. TB500 is effective for ligament repair in lab tests on mice. There are quite a few peptides for injury repair currently being researched. We offer Thymosin Beta 4 for sale for use in research labs and never for human consumption.
How Does Thymosin Beta 4 Work?
Thymosin Beta 4 upregulates proteins that build cells, in other words it increases the amount of cell building proteins. These are components of muscle cells that create movement via muscle contraction. Cell building proteins like Actin which forms along with Myosin play a roll in many other types of cells. This is what makes Thymosin one of the great peptides for injury repair, best peptides for recovery and best peptides for ligament repair, due partly to the upregulation of Actin which also builds new paths for blood vessels to help wounds heal. Current studies show increases in flexibility, reduction in inflammation and regrowth of lost hair.
Quality Research Chemicals
Peptidesforsale.net carries consistent high-quality research chemicals and peptides hence you should choose Peptides for Sale to buy Thymosin Beta 4 TB500 or other Peptides.

Popcorn doesn't have to be boring - or drenched in butter or butter substitute! Start with 4 cups of plain popped popcorn and then try tossing with one of the options below for a new and exciting edition to movie date night!
For popcorn:
- 1/4 cup popcorn kernels
- 1 brown paper lunch sack
For Parmesan-Rosemary Popcorn:
- 1/8 cup grated parmesan
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 1/4 tsp Kosher salt
For Apple Pie Spiced Popcorn:
- 2 tbsp virgin coconut oil
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 packets stevia or 4 tsp brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp apple pie spice purchased, or equal parts cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and cardamom
For Clean Eating Caramel Popcorn:
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/8 cup almond butter or peanut butter
Servings: cups
Popping the Corn
- Pour unpopped kernels into the lunch sack. (Just use 1/4 cup - any more and the bag will be overfull). Loosely fold over just the top of the bag so the kernels stay in.
- Microwave on HIGH until there are more than 3 seconds between "pops."
- Add one of our gourmet flavorings by following the instructions below!
Parmesan-Rosemary Popcorn or Apple Pie Spiced Popcorn:
- Combine all ingredients for your desired flavor, pour over 4 cups popped popcorn and toss until coated (you can also try adding directly to the bag before you pop the popcorn and tossing to coat the kernels, but we've not tried this yet).
Clean Eating Caramel Popcorn
- Place 1/4 cup honey in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Remove from heat and immediately whisk in 1/8 c. almond or peanut butter until smooth.
- Immediately pour over and toss with popcorn.
Recipe Notes
Don't have a microwave? Don't worry. There are a ton of easy ways to get that popcorn popped (and trust us, it is SO much cheaper and healthier to buy kernels in a big bag instead of resorting to the artificial butter drenched prepackaged varieties). Here's a site with 15 ways to pop popcorn!

It is safe to say that R&B singer K. Michelle has no filter. NONE! Her third studio album, More Issues Than Vogue continues her risqué approach to R&B. What better way to analyze More Issues Than Vogue than by the lyrics?
1) "Who the f*ck / told y'all hoes to open up? / Cut – that's enough! / I'm comin' straight from the gut…" – "Mindful"
Commentary: Well, it's safe to say that K. Michelle isn't hurting for confidence or brashness here. Hmm, best be "mindful" of messing with her…
2) "You keep sayin' you the illest b*tch / but I still feel like Uma Thurman in Kill Bill" – "Mindful"
Commentary: Hey, you can't go wrong with a Quentin Tarantino film, let alone Kill Bill – it's a classic!
3) "Come and show me some love / got that booty sitting right / I make it clap got them booty cheeks looking like they getting into a fight" – "Got Em Like"
Commentary: Hmm, one of the reasons why K. Michelle's "got 'em like damn" apparently…just saying!
4) "Oh, I got my own sh*t, don't want your money / nope, I drop a hundred bands like it's easy money" – "Ain't You"
Commentary: K. Michelle isn't worried about money – she just wants him.
5) "Only one I be giving game to / these dudes mad cause they really ain't you" – "Ain't You"
Commentary: See the commentary on #4.
6) "If you think I want you, not a little bit / if you think I need you, not a little bit / I finally moved on I'm over it / if you think I need you, not" – "Not A Little Bit"
Commentary: K. Michelle has moved on – she don't want you anymore!
7) "Makes us insane, no one's to blame / that's how I know you're the one / it's crazy, amazing / we f*cked it up / If it ain't love, I don't know what is" – "If It Ain't"
Commentary: Basically, K. Michelle is saying that love is a crazy trip. It can be amazing or messed up.
8) "Tell me why do we, why do we, why do we / make the bed / when we know we gonna mess it up again?" – "Make The Bed"
Commentary: Freaky. "It's goin' down!"
9) "Baby, please excuse my behavior / but can I get back the f*cks that I gave you?" – "Nightstand"
Commentary: Gotta love double entendre. Has the f-bomb ever been better utilized?
10) "Oh these men / they sho' be getting around / wifing all of these b*tches around town / but I can't play fool / they don't know nothin', 'bout nothin', 'bout love" – "These Men"
Commentary: From K. Michelle's perspective, the men are all dogs. Beware of her wrath!
11) "If all I got is the love I was promised / I'm good, even if it's all I got / if all I got is the touch of your body / I'm good, even if it's all I got" – "All I Got"
Commentary: All she wants is his love – it's all she needs.
12) "Tell me how to find somebody / who gon' be on time on time / it's too late for you and I / Thank God I left you right on time, on time" – "Time"
Commentary: Much like "All I Got," K. Michelle seems to have landed her Prince Charming.
13) "I got rich people problems / only way to solve 'em / keep on getting' rich / richer and richer…" – "Rich"
Commentary: K. Michelle may have issues as a famous/rich person, but she definitely wants to keep getting that paper.
14) "I'm angry so many nights, as I lay by your side, and you / sleep like a baby, oh you sleep like a baby" – "Sleep Like A Baby"
Commentary: She's mad while he's content and "sleeping like a baby" – pretty self-explanatory stuff.

I am currently a 4th semester student at University College Roosevelt. While at UCR, I mostly focused on politics and international relations. However, I am not sure whether I want to do a master in these disciplines. A master would be great, but I have not yet decided whether I want to fully focus on these areas for the rest of my life. In the meantime, I am considering taking a gap year and going abroad. I would like to go back to Seoul where I studied for a while, in order to teach English to local schools and at the same time continue searching what I want to do in the future. But who knows, maybe I run into a master, job or internship I really like and all of my future plans will change. That's the great thing about UCR, the possibilities and opportunities are endless!
I am fourth-semester student, majoring in Social Sciences, with tracks in Psychology and Anthropology, and minoring in Arts & Humanities in the field of Philosophy. I believe that the fields of Psychology and Philosophy are often intertwined, and I am very fascinated by the complexity of human nature and human relationships. At UCR I have been taking all the courses offered in the field of Psychology, and I would like to continue with a master in this area. Because our education system matches with the American/British model, I am going to apply for a master programme either in the UK or the US.
My interest lies in children, and my master is probably going to be focused on child psychology. I would also like to work with parents who experience troubles with their children.
Besides this, I am also considering moving to the US for one year before starting with the master application process. UCR has given me the chance to broaden my horizons, and I would like to continue with my exploration of other places and cultures!

The Low Income Scheme provides income related help to people who are not exempt from charges but who may be entitled to full or partial help if they have a low income. The NHS Low Income Scheme covers:
The scheme is designed so that you can claim for a certificate before you need any treatment and are able to budget accordingly.
However, if you've already paid for something, you can apply for a refund at the same time you apply for a certificate.
You may qualify for a HC2 certificate which gives full help with the health costs listed above, or a HC3 certificate which gives limited help, the certificate will tell you what you have to pay.
Anyone can apply as long as they don't have savings above the capital limit.
In England and Scotland the capital limit is:
In Wales the capital limit is:
Any help you are entitled to is extended to your partner as well, if you have one.
Help is based on a comparison between your weekly income and assessed requirements at the time the claim is made (or the date the charge was paid if a refund is claimed).
Entitlement broadly follows Income Support rules to decide how much, if anything, you have to pay towards your health costs. The scheme also allows us to include your council tax and housing costs in the assessment. This means you can get help with your health costs even if your income is too high for Income Support.
You get free:NHS prescriptions, NHS dental treatment for any course of treatment that starts before your 18th birthday or, if you are in full-time education, your 19th birthday, NHS sight tests and NHS wigs and fabric supports. You also get vouchers towards the cost of glasses or contact lenses, may get vouchers towards the cost of repair or replacement of glasses or contact lenses and may get help with travel costs for NHS treatment.
*Full-time education means you must be receiving full-time instruction from a recognised educational establishment, such as a school, college or university. To be a 'recognised establishment' the place where you are studying must have a Department for Education and Skills (DfES) Establishment Number, and be registered on the DfES database. If it is not registered with the DfES, you still may be able to claim for help with health costs if you have a low income.
You get free NHS dental examinations carried out in Wales before your 25th birthday.
To find out if the NHS Low Income Scheme can help you, fill in an HC1 form (claim for help with health costs) or HC11 in Northern Ireland.
You do not need to fill in an HC1 if you, or your partner if you have one, are:
as the benefit or tax credits you or your partner gets already entitles you to full help with health costs.
You will qualify for a full help with health costs HC2 certificate (which includes free NHS prescriptions), if your income is less than or equal to your requirements, or your income is greater than your requirements by no more than half the current English prescription charge.
You will qualify for a limited help with health costs HC3 certificate if your income is greater than your requirements by more than half the current English prescription charge. The HC3 certificate which shows how much you have to pay towards your health costs.
Certificates are usually valid for periods of between six months to five years, depending on your circumstances.
More information on the NHS low income scheme is available via the NHS costs helpline 0300 330 1343 or the NHS website or for Northern Ireland the NIdirect website.

Israel's Real Leader and Navigator: Naftali Bennett
Israelis have cause for deep concern as Bennett, at the end of a year's term, appears to be well on his way to achieving his dangerous goals.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the formal head of Israel's 33rd government, which will mark its first anniversary next week. But the real head of government and state, its leader and navigator, is Naftali Bennett. His Habayit Hayehudi party was the only one among the coalition partners that converted its election success into real power.
Bennett and his colleagues were elected to accelerate settlement construction in the territories, advance the West Bank's annexation to Israel, and foil any peace arrangement with the Palestinians. Their secondary aim was to further the religious-Zionist community's interests and strengthen its influence.
At the end of a year's term, Bennett appears to be well on his way to achieving both goals. A Central Bureau of Statistics report shows that the number of construction starts in the settlements broke a decade-long record in the past year, increasing by 123 percent compared to the previous year.
Under Housing and Construction Minister Uri Ariel's direction, public construction is funneled to the territories. The coalition passed the referendum law, which is intended to hinder or thwart any agreement with the Palestinians. The peace negotiations with the Palestinian Authority are conducted in futile meetings and have so far posed no challenge to Habayit Hayehudi's partnership in government.
Habayit Hayehudi led discussions on the draft law. It managed to preserve the privileges of the hesder yeshiva students and obtained an exemption from military service for hundreds of "prodigies" from the religious-Zionist yeshivas.
Netanyahu ran the cabinet meetings, but rarely got involved in state affairs, passing the time by sparring with U.S. President Barack Obama over his policy on Iran. The coalition factions acted over the past year like Bennett's cheerleading team. Some did so enthusiastically – like most Likud MKs, who curry favor with the settlers – while others did so silently, in order to keep their seats – like the MKs from Yesh Atid and Hatnuah.
Yair Lapid and Tzipi Livni failed to influence the state's direction and served merely as a layer of makeup, intended to cover up a radical rightist government.
Bennett can look back with satisfaction. But Israelis have cause for deep concern. He is steering the state to further entrenching the occupation, losing the chance for peace and grave international isolation.

What Is The Most Expensive Perfume in the World?
The World's Top Perfumes
Do you spend a lot of money on luxury perfume? If so, have you ever wondered what the most expensive perfume in the world is?
I don't know about you, but if I am dressing up to go out, I never feel that I am completely ready until I have sprayed myself with my favourite perfume. Fragrance is something that I will never scrimp on and I always have good quality perfume.
But while I like to splash out on perfume, there are some luxury fragrances out there in the top stores that you need to be seriously rich to be able to afford.
Fragrance has been used since ancient times, when incense and burning fragrant resins and aromatic woods was used during religious ceremonies.
The ancient Egyptians used frankincense, myrrh and cassia and it is believed that the ancient Greeks introduced the first liquid perfumes.
The development of modern chemistry in the nineteenth century led to the development of modern scents, and they have evolved from single floral fragrances such as rose, lilac, jasmine or lavender into the complex perfumes that we have today, with many fragrance notes and overtones.
Of course, if you are going to produce an expensive, luxury perfume, you will need to put it in an equally beautiful, elegant container, and the top perfume makers were soon using crystal manufacturers such as Lalique and Baccarat to create exquisite and unique perfume bottles for them.
What Makes a Perfume Expensive?
So what is it that makes an expensive perfume expensive? It is a combination of the cost of the ingredients, the cost of the bottle and the packaging and the name of the maker.
Some of the most expensive perfumes in the world use very costly and rare ingredients to make them so special, and these include Tahitian vanilla, sandalwood, oakmoss, ambergris, and vetivert.
Certain flowers, such as orange flowers, rose and jasmine, give us the most expensive perfume oils, which are known as 'absolute' and every top fragrance contains a percentage of at least one of these oils.
The exact ingredients and formula of luxury fragrances is kept a very strict secret for commercial reasons, but there are some broad traditional classifications that they fall into.
These classifications are single floral, floral bouquet, oriental, wood, leather, chypre and fougere. Top luxury perfumes are also sold in exquisitely produced bottles, which are made from the finest crystal, with stoppers made of gold and silver and often set with diamonds and other precious gemstones.
In fact some fragrance bottles are so beautiful and precious, that they become collector's items in their own right and can fetch huge amounts of money at auction.
The name of a top maker or designer on the bottle also allows a luxury perfume to have a higher price tag, and names like Chanel, Ralph Lauren, Jean Patou and Hermes are on some of the most expensive perfumes in the world.
The World's Most Expensive Perfume
Well, the most expensive fragrance in the world at this present time is No 1 by Clive Christian, for which you can expect to pay around £2,700 for a bottle.
No 1 by Clive Christian has the distinction of being recorded in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's most expensive perfume and if £2,700 is not expensive enough for you, then you can upgrade to the Imperial Majesty edition of this fragrance which is presented in a bottle made of Baccarat crystal set with a superlative diamond on the neck.
A bottle of Imperial Majesty No1 will set you back over £100,000, but only if you can get hold of one of the only ten bottles ever produced. No 1 by Clive Christian is only ever created in tiny quantities, so only 1,000 bottles of No 1 for Women and No 1 for Men are ever released onto the market every year.
Clive Christian, a British producer of luxury furniture, only entered the world of exclusive fragrance when he bought the Crown Perfume Company in 2000. The Crown Perfume Company was founded in the 19th century and their scents were a firm favourite with Queen Victoria, which is how they acquired their crown emblem.
What is your favourite designer fragrance?
Some Other Incredibly Expensive Perfumes
One of the world's most iconic fragrances is Joy by Jean Patou. Joy was created in 1929 by Henri Almeras for the Parisian designer Jean Patou. Even though it was incredibly expensive and launched at the height of the Depression, it was an instant success and became very popular.
Joy is regarded as one of the great floral fragrances in the world, and is created from a sublime blend of jasmine and roses. One of the reasons that Joy sells at such a high price, around $800 for an ounce, is that that it takes 28 dozen roses and 10,000 jasmine flowers to create just 30ml of the fragrance.
Of course, no discussion of the world's most expensive and exclusive perfumes would be complete without mentioning Chanel No 5. Chanel No 5 might not be the costliest fragrance in the world today, although a bottle of Chanel No 5 parfum will still set you back in the region of $235 for a 100ml, but it is surely the most famous.
The name Chanel No 5 is synonymous with elegance, style and beautiful women, and has been the perfume of choice for the rich and fashionable since it was introduced to the world in 1921 by the Parisian fashion house Chanel, which was headed by the famous designer Coco Chanel. Chanel No 5 is one of the world's best selling brands, despite its high price tag, and on an average day a bottle of Chanel No 5 is being sold somewhere around the globe every thirty seconds.
Chanel have now launched an even more expensive version of their famous perfume.called the 'Grand Extrait', it will cost a staggering £2700 a bottle.and is described as a rare collectible fragrance. So why is the new edition so expensive? Well apparently all in the bottle, as the No 5 formula has not been changed. The bottle for the new 'Grand Extrait' are crafted in a special mould which is then placed in a sleek, hand-crafted case.
There are many other incomparable fragrances on the market today, including Fracas by the designer Robert Piguet, Notorious by Ralph Lauren, Nahema and Mitsuoko by Guerlain, and Sensi by Giorgio Armani, all of which are very expensive and beautifully packaged.
A beautiful bottle of expensive perfume is a wonderful gift to receive, especially if it is one that you have made your signature fragrance. Nothing beats going into a big department store or design house and choosing your favourite scent, but these days you also have the option of selecting your favourite brand online.
It may surprise you, but Amazon has a great selection of exclusive and designer luxury fragrances, so why not look online today to see if you can find your favourite. It is the perfect romantic gift to give to the one you love, so if you gentlemen are stuck for ideas on what to buy your beloved for Christmas or Valentine's Day, then why not gift wrap that special bottle of the luxury fragrance that she has always dreamed of wearing and slip it under the Christmas Tree or leave it on her pillow on Valentine's Day morning?

I was aware of outrageously priced perfumes but didn't know Chanel had one which cost in excess of 2,500 quid! . oh well .. you save bottles like that for very very special occasions just like the rare corked wines .. interesting hub and voted up!
lovely interesting hub ! i am not at all surprised by the results of the poll. i use chanel no. 5 everyday !!! i love this fragrance and my mom used it as well. occasionally i will use coco chanel which is exquisite as well a more oriental scent which i always receive numerous compliments and what is the name of the fragrance you are wearing? a close second would be shalimar then gucci rush ! many thanks for sharing especially about the history of fragrances and perfumes !
Excellent hub. I, too, am quite fond of very expensive items, particularly perfume. Chanel#5 and Joy perfumes are my favorites.
Loved this hub. I like reading about really, really expensive things, and I also have my own perfumes, that I adore and wouldn't go out without. Patchouli is my fragrance, and it's expensive enough for me!
I am amazed with their prices!WOW. I better get one on Christmas. Perhaps, there is a sale price on this. :D
I have always loved chanel No. 5 and always will.
Oww chanel no 5. Really nice.
My boyfriend said to me last night, 'sorry I haven't been able to get you any Chantelle No 5 for Christmas, it was too expensive!' aaaw, no worries it was Chanel No 5 I wanted :P I may have to make him read this hub so he can save up for next year ! hehe. Thanks for sharing!
Hey, wonderfully written and very informative..I have always loved when women wear Chanel 5, it turns me on anytime..The line of perfumes from Burberry are also great one to have in ones collection..Thanks for sharing..Cheers
I wish I can any of the perfumes you've mentioned. Great hub!
I never heard of that one. That seems to be the way it is for expensive items.
Really interesting hub on expensive perfumes!! next time i spray my Chanel Chance il tell myself its as exclusive and as good as chanel No. 5 - amazing perfumes! great article on something close to every womans heart!
I love good perfume and buy it when I can. Unfortunately not too often. Enjoyed your hub, very well written.
i wish i had the money to splash out on an incredible perfume!!! cool hub x
What's a great hub, I thoroughly enjoyed, thank you for a great read.I adore and love my perfume purchases and feel greedy for wanting to spend so much and have the best. But sounds like Im a grain of sand in a huge sandpit, I feel better!
Wow! I wonder about the smell. If i will see that in person, i am sure i will be excited to spray it in my body :) Nice post CMHypno!
Being over the top myself, I would LOVE to have the luxury of owning the special edition baccarat crystal with diamond clive christian no 1!
HOW extravagant!
Wow, and I thought I was an expensive one to maintain. Guess I still have some room to grow : )
£2,700 for a bottle. No 1 by Clive Christian perfume ! Amazing. It's like buying gold or diamond. I wonder why they are so expensive.
some of these are absolutely intoxicating =)
Perfume is completely wasted on me as I have no sense of smell. Can't help thinking I am missing out seriously as a result of this. Interesting hub though and a good insight into perfume.
Will try some day....seems nice
Now I know what to buy for Christmas.
I haven't craved the most expensive perfumes, but I do love fragrances. Of those for which you have Amazon listings, I've tried Cashmere Mist by Donna Karan -- it has kind of a suede undertone, believe it or not. I also like L'Eau d'Issey. But my favorites are (1) chypre and (2) fresh scents. I think Givenchy has some of the best creations.
WOW, I've been really good this year so the most expensive perfume in all the world is def going on my Christmas list. Thanks for the great review of the best perfumes of all the world. :)

Two months ago, I said I was way too old to go to Coachella, and now here I am, packing. Coachella is upon me. My boyfriend and I are leaving tonight after he gets done with work. I have no idea what to expect, and I won't lie – I am full of trepidation. Let's be honest: Where does a forty-one-year old, divorced mother of two, attending the event with her twenty-four-year old boyfriend fit into this mix? Does this ritual hold any context for me? Will I be the High Priestess? The Tribal Elder? The Medicine Woman? Or am I the old lady clutching her purse worried that her credit cards will be stolen. I can't say for sure. But there will be plenty of obstacles to overcome, that's for certain. For starters, I will be trapped in the desert (once we park, we cannot leave). Never mind trying to get the shuttles to the various stages, and trying to coordinate my set list with that of my boyfriends (I refuse to go hear the Cribs), there are other very serious obstacles that must be overcome. Procurement of food, tent sleeping, and public bathing come to mind. Twenty-five thousand people in the desert, a couple hundred porta-potties, this will be no simple feat, and per my mother's advice I'm bringing toilet paper.
The screenwriter in me can see it all so clearly. There's ME — the befuddled heroine of this misadventure trying to control her urge to give career advice to throngs of 20somethings while simultaneously beating off young, nubile girls bent on attacking my boyfriend. There's the BEST FRIEND in Brooklyn on high 'text message' alert. I should add that she is busy working on the edit for her latest book READING WOMEN: How The Great Books of Feminism Changed my Life – which seems sort of ironic to me for some reason. There are the RANDOM WACKY PEOPLE I'm sure I will meet in the pursuit of music, food and felt hat making (ever since I saw the Cooper Hewitt exhibit on felt I've been hooked). And of course there is THE LOVE INTEREST, my boyfriend, who will be doubling as THE GUIDE (my Virgil if you will), although this is assuming he doesn't get completely smashed and disappear on me, which he promised he won't do, but he's English and likes to drink, "It's cultural,' as he likes to say… so who knows.
Finally there's the higher purpose for my character. Loosely defined: My 'want' or my 'need'… And after considerable thought I've decided that my 'want' from Coachella is a perfect moment of the Spalding Grey variety. If it can't be 'perfect' I'll accept transformative, or at the very least, I'll settle for a sign. I want to know that everything will be all right in the big sense of the word.
But of course as we all know, that kind of stuff only happens in the movies.
I guess the real me would settle for a little growth. I'd like to stop being so self-aware for a moment and lose myself to something bigger than me. I'd like to have a really fun time, or make a really great memory…
I don't know if this will happen either, but I'm going, and I think that's the main thing. I'm not going to be a victim of inertia and habit. I'm stepping outside my comfort zone, and at any age, that has to count for something, right?

Heat is in the air and we want these hot Australian artists on our walls!
Summer is here! Alongside the change of seasons, we're often eager to give our lives a little makeover — and that includes our living space! We suggest bringing in the warm sunny days with some bold and beautiful artwork that truly captures the essence of summer. Weather you want to add a few additions to your wall collection or invest in a single statement piece, there is so much amazing Australian artists that are bringing their lovely talents to the forefront, from pints to originals to photography. Here are a few of our favorites!
"I do works on custom made and stretched canvas with hand crafted Tasmanian Oak frames and also high gloss, reflective works on alu-panel – an aluminium composite which are all very striking. My artworks look stunning on a sparse wall where the colours and geometric shapes really pop." [via]
Danielle's works are a dynamic, abstract, textural, emotive and expressive translation.Her inspirations come from her time living abroad in Perth and France as well as her extensive travels all throughout Asia, Europe and Australia.Danielle is heavily influenced by many art, design and architecture movements as well as the use of colour and technique of the Aboriginal Arts. [Purchase original works and prints, here.]
Abstract Resin by Gold-Cost based artist Bec Tarrant. Inspired by nature and infused with rich, inundated elements, Tarrant's pieces incorporate beautiful, unique layers of colours and textures. Her work is influenced by her Aboriginal heritage, whilst always incorporating a modern, stylistic appeal. [Purchase Astella Pieces, here.]
Damian began his photographic career 17 years ago in Sydney landing his dream job in a professional darkroom. After learning the craft of black & white printing and processing, he quickly moved on to assist some of Sydney's best photographers. From celebrity covers to fashion editorials and lovely personal work, having a Bennett piece is longtime conversation starter. [print via]
"I'm a modern contemporary artist from Melbourne. My work is abstract and very organic, where I work with gravity and texture to achieve natural patterns. The aim of my work is to be moving while focusing on an aesthetically pleasing finish, this is due to my love of interior design. While my art doesn't have a specific storyline, or meaning, I like the idea that it is left to the interpretation, and it resonates with people in different ways. I often think about how my art will look in a room, the effect it will have and the mood it will set. The goal of my colour series, is to bring a positive feel to a space. While with my monochrome series I like to focus more on sharp and clean finishes with contrast; or a soft mood with the faded paintings." [via]
