Skip to comments.Looks like the Sequester Is Going to Happen (Update from Federal Worker)
Posted on 02/27/2013 7:26:14 PM PST by ducttape45
Elections have consequences.
I won't say what military base I work at,but today my office was briefed about the impending sequestration. There were a few interesting points to come out of the meeting.
1. You have to take at least 8 hours a week LWOP (leave without pay). You cannot use sick or annual leave on those days off. You cannot take more then 30 hours a week because then you'd be able to apply for unemployment and the federal government is ensuring we can't utilize that avenue to supplement our income. So they take us but prevent us from taking from them. Smart.....
2. No more credit time, comp time, or overtime. If, in the performance of your job you're responsible for monitoring contractors, those contractors have to leave or you leave them unsupervised. Just imagine the legal entanglements that are soon to arise.
3. We have to take 176 hours, or 22 days, off with no pay (which we will NOT get back for all you who have been saying otherwise) between April 25 and September 22. If the sequester lasts longer and we end up taking more than 30 days of sequester then mandatory RIFs will take place and people will start losing their jobs.
That's the news as I have it now. I'll post more as it comes available. I'm going to bed, I can hardly keep my eyes open but I had to post this for all to see.
We should SEQUESTER each and every representative /sarcasm and cut their pay, their medical, their retirement, their staff, their travel, their face-time, their lobbyists, their contributors, their benefits, etc., etc.
SEQUESTER socialism...
DEFUND socialist collectives, foreign and domestic. BIG GOVERNMENT IS CRONY SOCIALISM.
DEPOPULATE socialists from the body politic.

So much more...here...

So much more...here...
Some proof of a fraction of the damage caused by socialists...
CHASE freedom...(/sarcasm)
Its much easier to...
live - free - republic
Things are tough all over. Would you prefer to lose your job, pension, and healthcare like the coal miners are? 24 million out of work, not LWOP (leave without pay). Of course this sucks, however many more have suffered far worse because of the government.
Hang in there! And, wow; just wow. What a fr*ck*n mess we are in...
I think there is at least 85 billion in waste to be found in a 3.7 Trillion budget.
Rome is burning! We all need to wake up! We need to stop the crazy spending.
Thanks for posting, ducttape45. Important information BUMP!
Wow, thanks for the post.
The same folks who went golfing with Tiger Woods in Florida and skiing in Aspen over Presidents day weekend are the ones responsible for this hardship.
I'm selling black-market marshmallows and hot-dogs. Get yer hot dogs! Pointy sticks extra.
Things are going to get a whole lot worse for people drawing a federal paycheck. They have to if we ever intend to see the private sector thrive again.
You've still got a job woth good benefits. Look on the bright side.
Has anyone asked what funding cuts will take place at NPR, PBS, NEA, etc? Will the NEA be cutting back on any art funding? What about cuts to Michelle's dress designers, gardening staff, or 90 assistants? How about POTUS's golf caddy? Will the President save taxpayer money by enrolling his girls in public schools?
Would it be better if they just laid you off 100%? That happens more often in the private sector than furloughs. I've done the furlough thing and it sucked, but it was temporary and I'm still here.
Best of luck to you. I mean that sincerely.
Thanks for the update.
We are all in for a rough ride.
Things are going to get a whole lot worse for people drawing a federal paycheck.
Make that a federal check—period. You could eliminate the total federal civil work force ($800B) and the budget deficit is forecasted to be larger next year ($1.2B). This isn't going to be fixed with furloughs.
You can always quit and find another job, right?
Frankly, I can't drum up any sympathy for "government employees" at this point.
Your hours wouldn't be cut if you were "essential", and if you are not "essential", why are you employed by the government?
Uncle Sugar ran out of money. Talk amongst yourselves.
WRT your points:
1. Here's a way to stick it to the "man" - find a part time private sector job and show him who's the smart one now!
2. What if the contractors are, gulp, full grown adults and maybe don't need supervision all week - oh the horrors! If they're not full grown adults then, unlike GS, they can be fired. If their "supervisor" doesn't like their perfomrance and still does not act, whose the one at fault?
3. I've got some names in mind for the RIF if you need them....
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Agreed. Got laid off in 08 and been scrapping ever since while watching my relatives and friends who work for the feds doing great, getting significant raises, taking tons of vacation I never got in private sector and generally not doing much work. People here can hate me but I have zero sympathy for the fed employees. They are getting just a tiny tiny sample of what the rest of us have endured the past 4 years.
Sequester Foreign Aid!
I doubt it'll work that way. Usually, employees have to cover for each others' absence and they rotate the days they are off with other employees, so it's only a 3-day weekend when your day falls on a Monday or Friday. Somebody else gets the three-day weekend when you have to take off Tuesday. Otherwise, the whole office shuts down when everybody takes off on the same day. Some companies prefer to do that.
It depends. Count on the government to do this in a way that will maximize disruption and confusion. And especially anger at Republicans for causing it.
Ubama's hatred for America, and for people who take responsibility for their own lives, is so great he will simply brush you off like dandruff. His goal at this point is to ensure that red states and white people pay a hefty price as the result of his childish tantrum.
Chin up. Things will get better, especially if the Republicans can pull their heads out of their behinds and get the stones to bitch-slap this punk Ubama the way he deserves and win the 2014 elections in large fashion.
but its not going to kill anybody to have an extra day off....I'd enjoy it....like a snow day....
just think....more 3 day weekends to enjoy with your other multitude of 3 day weekends....
That's a point many here are missing.
Every American that works for a living got a 2.4% tax increase - A BUDGET REDUCTION - on January 1. If we can deal with it why can't the government?
I agree. Hell, I think we should immediately cut 1/3rd and put in a reward system for people to find and cut waste like several states have put in place.
The entire focus is bassackwards. In the private sector, you survive by reducing expenses and maximizing profit. In the government sector, you benefit by maximizing expenses and destroying value.
"That's a point many here are missing."
Nobody expects a complete solution. This one is a fake solution to be sure, but the hysterics of the bureaucracy and those entrenched within are so shrill and blood-curdling that next time nobody will pay any mind to the complaints.
The government, and the bureaucrats could have faced this honestly and directly. Instead they lie, they obfuscate and they pretend it's the end of the world.
It's not. You don't hear the laments of the private sector layoff. Only government. We don't need to hear the deafening whine of federal workers who, despite the poster of the thread's insistence, will likely be paid in full anyway.
Good information.
I didn't know the layoffs begin after 30 days of furloughs .
That is the first I heard of that.
That makes sense though.
Cavuto had a GOP Senator Colburn as a guest who claimed he found specific $45B in waste and crap in Defense that should be cut.
The taxpayers even pay for the Federal Employee Unions work having nothing to do with us.
Its war and so far the GOP has lost every one since after the 2010 elections.
Welcome to the party.
Obama's fault.
Zippy has finally done something worthwhile.
Too many people in government just have no clue about the degree of suffering those who pay their salaries and giant pensions have endured for several years now. A few unwanted furlough days? Boo-hoo-hoo! Talk to the people in the private sector who, if they are fortunate enough to have any work, have seen multiple years of downward mobility while the feds have seen raises. (Perhaps we should call them the "well-feds.") It is way past time for them to share in America's pain. People are tired of being robbed blind by their "public servants." The crowd in DC seems big on "reform" these days. Maybe what America really needs is federal employee pension "reform." Do we really need to pay them not to work for 40 years? Can we afford to? They are paid on average more than private sector counterparts. Why can't they save and invest for their own retirements, like all the peons who are taxed to support them?
Sequester, no abolish, the EPA!
What about Obamas Czars?
Obama is going to get stoned with all of this disruption.
I have to laugh at the people squealing like stuck piglets.
Those workers are dealing with the same apprehension and fear that the rest of us have dealt with over the past five years or so.
Welcome to our world. Sucks, doesn't it?
Since things are tough all over, why not cease expenditures not spent 20 years ago or cut off regulations strangling all entrepreneurs from ever starting a business?
Instead you advocate cutting 25% of low wage earner's income in functions which are the only ones required of government.
This places them all in debt and prohibits their seeking part time work to make up the difference.
As if this were not absurd enough, we are told up front our sacrifices are neither appreciated nor do they have any effect on reducing the budget deficit.
Here's a simple alternative.
Cease all Social Security, Housing, Welfare, Environmental, and Education programs or slaughter those on their rolls to receive their handouts and those administering them. Let those people enter into the free market and commerce. Let them learn how to enter into a contract to render a service or product in return for a day's wage. As an alternative, place those who are receiving government handouts the opportunity to surrender everything and become slaves for barter with foreign powers, losing their nationality as well as their rights to practice homosexuality.
Just one very small example: A woman in a fed job, they are supposed to be saving money so they are ordered not to print anything in color, they can't even use the colored cartridges they already have?!
It is amazing the things that they are forced to do that amount to nothing. There are 2 people in that office and they need 4 more because of all the stupid stuff that doesn't come near to what they are supposed to be there for. If one person could just go and do the job that is actually supposed to be done and do it right w/o the running in circles they could get the job done working half days.
Like I'm gonna cry for some under-worked over-paid Govt Slackers! Try being a small business man with this Regime's daily harassment. The best damned thing that can happen for this country is to have all Fed so-called workers go home for permanently.
Actually it will. OPM (Office of Personnel Management) has decreed that all impacted Federal employees will transition to a 8 hour a day schedule and take every Friday as Leave Without Pay. No local discretion. You cannot even work 5 & 3 in the same pay period, even if it would be of benefit to the government. OPM does not trust the lower escholons of the government to do it right.
Without some of the DoD workforce, those doing direct warfighter support, additional good guys will die. I for one can afford the paycut, I am not so sure the guys on the pointy end of the spear can afford to lose the support.
Gee, my Wife has been out of work since last April. She is in her late 50's and nobody will hire her in her field of expertise.
She is now applying at Hobby Lobby and Target so she can get Health Benefits, but they aren't offering enough hours to get those Benefits. Can you say Obamacare?
Our COBRA Healthcare is costing us $1375 a Month. I have Leukemia, so I always make sure to pay the Insurance. My Retirement Health Insurance from my former Employer will be nearly as expensive, but I am waiting until the COBRA runs out to apply for it just in case my Wife gets a Job with cheaper Benefits. Let's just say it ain't looking good.
I am draining my Retirement Savings three times faster than I planned. I thank God I scrimped and saved for the last 40 years so I have that money, although the Recession cost me a bundle.
My Part Time 1099 Job will be disappearing once the guy that owns the Company I contract for liquidates Inventory to a competitor so he can cash out and save his House from Foreclosure.
Not being critical. I understand how this is affecting you and your Family. Just be thankful for what you have in the age of Obama. I guarantee that you are luckier than most.
Of course, you have to be used as a pawn by the libs to whine about the end of the world if the federal government has to spend one dime less.
Even RINO's use this ploy. When TN governor Don "The Tax Terrorist" Sunquist tried to shove an illegal income tax down our throats, he shut down rest stops. Rest stops!
So bring all the troops home and save money as well as lives. It's pretty clear after 10 years of war there is no intent to win a victory.
And btw ignorant is as ignorant does.........and the Federal Govt is neck deep in ignorance.
Well, we're out of Iraq and we reduced Troop strength in Afghanistan, so where is all that money the Libtards said we were spending? Why is there a Deficit with all this previously wasted money saved?
Just thinking out loud. I know it's nothing that would asked of The Messiah or his Minions.
Your prior post made clear that those in command are purposefully endangering troops by refusing to let people like you volunteer to help them. How am I supposed to have any respect for a bureaucracy that acts like that? It is literally the same behavior that my kids would engage in when they were going thru the terrible twos.
As to who is at fault here, it is most clearly not the people in the private sector who want the gov't to cut spending. Nor are the Republicans in Congress at fault for wanting to make at least some attempt to control the federal leviathan. You want to see a direct threat to our national security, look to the people who are running the executive branch in Washington - they own what is going on here lock, stock and barrel. And they seem bound and determined to destroy our private sector economy - a private sector economy, mind you, which finances everything in our country, including the military.
On a personal note, I own a small business and I work 12 hours a day, 7 days week, 50 weeks a year. I've been doing that for seven years. The only exceptions are for Christmas and Thanksgiving - during those weeks I work 6 days a week. I worry every month about making payroll and paying my own rent. And I'm not complaining because I consider myself lucky. I have a business and I'm my own boss - thank God. There are plenty of people in the private sector who are much worse off than me. But to hear federals complain about stuff that is happening to them now when that stuff (and much worse) has been going on for 5 years in the private sector is a bit hard to take.
Here's to hoping you all make it through the tough times without too much personal harm. I'm all about reducing gov spending, at the same time it pains me to see good men and women suffering.
I am a DoD employee and I WELCOME SEQUESTRATION but doubt they have the intestinal fortitude to actually let it happen. I just want to see someone stand up to these clowns and say the spending must stop and the cuts must begin. It will be tough to lose 20% of pay for the next 6 months but not as bad for me as for others who have bigger families or more bills. And I consider myself fortunate to have a job the past few years when many did not.
But why are these myths about federal employee salaries and retirement perpetuated? We are just like everyone else but happen to be employed by the government. A mixture of society which, in my experience (at least in DoD), appears to be more conservative as a percentage, than the general population. Many of us support sequestration and spending cuts, and are ready to make the personal sacrifice.
Federal employees have not received a cost-of-living raise in the past 3 or 4 years. Federal employees salaries are supposed to be similar to private sector jobs but we continually lag behind for comparable positions and responsibilities. And we must try to pay competitively to attract some of the best and brightest. Otherwise we end up with more of the not so best and brightest. Many employees work 50-60 hours a week without complaint or extra pay. The DoD mission is self-rewarding - supporting all the brave young men and women defending this country and serving far from home fighting our enemies. There are other federal employees in other agencies working just as hard. Not all of course, and yes, it is difficult to get rid of the slackers. Is the federal government bloated? ABSOLUTELY. Much can be cut, including people, but it has to be done correctly (and start quickly). Sequestration is only for show - few in power in Washington want to cut spending, regardless of party.
By the way, ANY federal employee hired after 1984 is covered by a 401K and Social Security, with a small defined retirement benefit (the govt. contributes 1% of pay to an account). So, any federal employee that started after 1984 gets a small pension based on years of service and salary, draws from their 401K and gets social security. That's it! Not bad but dependent on how well your 401K performs and whether social security survives, pretty much like everyone else these days. Those who were here before 1984 (fewer and fewer) still have a pretty sweet retirement but it will eventually go away all together.
Let the cuts begin!
Starwolf, many here on FR appreciate your patriotism and sacrifice. Don't let that "All Government Employees Are Bad" few get you down.
Thank you for your willingness to support the troops.

Learning to Say That You're Sorry
Latest update: March 15th, 2013
It's inevitable that sometimes couples will step on each other's toes; especially during the first year of marriage, where newlyweds find themselves tip-toeing around their spouse's emotional roadblocks. Don't forget that it takes time to learn about your spouse's idiosyncrasies and how to respond in a way that makes him or her feel at ease.
Here are some of the common mistakes people make in marriage:
1. You forget about for an important appointment and your spouse is furious.
2. You make up a time they will call you and you forget to turn on the phone.
3. You invite your in-laws for dinner and forget to tell your spouse.
4. You forget to bring her flowers for Shabbos or Yom Tov.
5. You leave the dishes pilled up in the sink.
Despite your mistakes, you can still undo your past actions by learning how to say, "I'm sorry."
Saying that you are sorry is so powerful that many couples have told me it's the secret to having a long-lasting marriage, as the following story that appeared in a British newspaper points out.
A British couple who had been married for 80 years said that their success was down to a glass of whisky, a glass of sherry and the word, "Sorry."
"I think we're very blessed," said Florence Arrowsmith, 100 years old. "We still love one another, that's the most important part."
Asked for their secret, Florence said you must never be afraid to say, "Sorry."
"You must never go to sleep bad friends," she said, while Percy, 105, said his secret to marital bliss was just two words: "yes dear."
The couple had three children, six grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
How to say that you're sorry
There are many ways to tell your significant other that you are sorry. To begin with, start by expressing that you genuinely feel sorry for your behavior, actions, or words.
"Please forgive my outburst, I do love and respect you and didn't mean to speak to you like that."
"I do love you and I can't stand fighting with you. Please forgive my part in all this. I want us to speak calmly and with respect for each other."
"I am very sorry; please forgive my tone of voice. I love you and don't want us to continue speaking to each other this way."
"I'm sorry. I love you and I am overreacting. Let's take a break right now so we can both calm down."
Second, it is very important to state that you are taking responsibility for your actions and not trying to justify or make excuses. If you don't take responsibility your apology will have little value. You should also try to convey that your sincerely regret what you did. Many times, someone may simply say they are sorry to try to keep the peace and end an argument, and they are not generally feeling remorse for their behavior. A genuine expression of sorrow for your behavior can mean a lot to the other person.
Michael, 32, and Rivkah, 29 learned about the need to say, "I'm sorry," the hard way. Michael was a well-respected accountant who worked in a high-pressure job. He usually worked late hours, and looked forward to unwinding at home — not to be greeted by a loud choir of children when he entered the door.
A common scenario unfolded each night when Michael would return home from work and be greeted by his ready-for-bed children and a very exhausted wife. At home, his wife Rivkah was finding raising their children to be a challenging task, especially since their young baby had colic and she faced many sleepless nights alone without Michael's help. Usually, by the time Michael came home, Rivkah was worn out and needed assistance. However, when Michael would open the door, his children would crowd around him, start jumping up and down and beg for him to play with them. But Michael, who usually felt overwhelmed, would get upset and start lashing out at his kids and yelling at his wife.
To make the situation worse, Rivkah would hand the kids to Michael and run to the bedroom to relax. In response, Michael would turn on the video machine for the children and try to escape to his computer in the living room. Left alone, the children would feel abandoned and start crying for attention, which would cause Michael to lose his temper.

An area home health aide has been charged with felony Medicaid fraud for turning in phony time sheets, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said Wednesday.
Alicia Santiago, 54, of Rochester was arraigned Tuesday night in Gates Town Court on two felony counts of grand larceny. The charges stem from Santiago's submission of allegedly fake timesheets in which she falsely claimed to have worked 186 hours.
The alleged fraud was uncovered and reported to the Attorney General by Innovative Care LLC after an agency employee noticed that Santiago had submitted time sheets claiming to have cared for a client after that client had died, Innovative Care owner Etta Aslam said.
The client— identified in the Attorney General's statement only by the initials, R.S—was a relative of Santiago's.
According to a felony complaint submitted by the Attorney General's office, an investigation by the Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Unit discovered that Santiago was actually working as a certified nursing assistant for a Brighton nursing home during the hours she claimed to be caring for the deceased client,.
Santiago's work as a home health aide came through Monroe County's Consumer Directed Personal Assistance Program. Known as CDPAP, the program lets Medicaid-eligible clients choose and directly hire aides.
Third-party contractors such as Innovative Care bill Medicaid but have no hand in hiring CDPAP aides, Aslam said.
Santiago submitted the allegedly fake time sheets to Innovative Care over a five-month period stretching from Nov. 30, 2012 to April 26, 2013. She collected some $1,800 for the 186 hours she claimed to have worked as an aide to the deceased client. Medicaid billings in the alleged fraud came to $3,958.23.
Santiago is slated to return to Gates Town Court Sept. 10. She could face a two-year-and-four-month to seven-year prison term.

One issue I thought of is that the power for the light is 240V and the arduino uses 3-5V. I'm guessing I would need some sort of electronic switch and a transformer in between? If that's correct wouldn't it create a lot of heat?

The correlation between physical activity and good health has always been known among adults, but kids are now starting to realize the benefits and enjoyment of keeping fit.
One of the top choices, particularly among girls, is dance, an activity that instills the importance of hard work and physical discipline in one. Numerous classes are available — anything from traditional types like jazz and tap to new favorites like hip-hop and lyrical — and two new dance studios have just opened in Highlands Ranch to offer a new option for kids.
Rhapsody Performing Arts Center and Precision Dance are quietly building a following in the community. About 10,000 mailers and word-of-mouth has generated quite the buzz for Rhapsody.
Kelley Wick, co-owner of Rhapsody Performing Arts Center, says her students are typically "huffing and puffing" from the physical exertion of dance. Some routines among competitive dance troupes last as long as eight minutes, and many include a variety of difficult acrobatic maneuvers and spins.
Some students who take the classes for fun are there once a week, whereas dedicated and serious dance competitors spend four days a week at the facility, equating to 12 hours, said Julie Geist, who also co-owns the facility with Wick, Heather Webb and Tiffany Lengyel.
Experts have pointed to research that supports the need for children to exercise at least one hour everyday. Inactivity has been associated with the rising percentage of overweight and obese children.
Dr. Matt Haemer, medical director of the GoodLIFE clinic at Children's Hospital in Denver, said a sharp drop in the amount of physical activity at school combined with an increase in screen time for video games and television has resulted in more cases of obesity in the last 20 years. Parents have a big role in helping set lifestyle standards. The capitalized "LIFE" in GoodLIFE stands for Lifestyle-Influencing Fitness and Eating.
"Modeling active behavior is very important because kids do what they remember their parents doing," Haemer said.
Dance classes are a great source for regular physical activity because they provide early structure and most kids have a genuine interest in it. Haemer says the No. 1 activity for preschool-age kids, in particular, is play, and the most important thing parents should ask themselves is: Does the child like it? A dance class can be a part of a whole package of eating healthy and exercising regularly.
"Dance can be a wonderful way for kids to experience different kinds of movements and gain confidence in them and take them to other athletic ventures," Haemer said. Another benefit is dance is an activity that can be done at home.
Heather Schott, owner of Precision Dance near County Line Road and South Broadway, said the kids get different types of workouts, depending on the type of class. Low-impact classes, like tap and ballet, increase the heart rate, but more intense classes such as hip-hop and Mexican can get the students sweating.
Precision Dance, which opened in February, focuses not on weight, but being healthy and keeping active, Schott said. There are different body sizes and children with a larger build should not be made to feel they are different, particularly when they put in the same amount of work as everyone.
Dance classes help improve balance, strength, muscle tone and mental focus. A side benefit, of course, is the self-esteem boost the students feel when they nail a routine or dance number, Geist said.
Rhapsody and other dance studios have followed the trend of many schools by eliminating sugary drinks and snack food in favor of healthy snacks. Rhapsody prides itself on teaching nutrition to children early on. It offers salads, wraps and water as refreshments.
"We're offering a well-rounded education," said Wick, who added that more kids are aware of the upsides of proper nutrition and exercise than ever before. "We always start with a warm-up and talk about nutrition."
It's followed by a wild flurry of coordinated moves that leave even the instructors sore the next day.
Haemer and other leading researchers on the National Children's Study, which began this year and focuses on Douglas County, will host a question-and-answer session about keeping kids healthy and active Aug. 15 at the Philip S. Miller Library in Castle Rock.

From the goatherder Peter and his family to the sickly girl Clara and her desperate father, Heidi's special charm enriches everyone she meets. Unselfish to the core, Heidi's goodness overcomes all obstacles - even those seemingly insurmountable.
Remembered and loved as a child's story, Heidi remains a testimony of redemption and salvation for all ages. Uplifting and enjoyable, Heidi makes superior family listening.

"Auditory quality not acceptable"
This is a book I thought I knew, having been as a child exposed to the story more than once. Rereading it as an adult, expecting only to indulge my nostalgia, I was surprised by the richness of the description, the complexity of the characters, and interest of a good story well told. The book is well narrated -- good pace, good voice characterization for each of the characters. Unfortunately, the quality of the recording is very poor. For this reason alone I would never recommend it. I hope Audible reexamines and finds a way to salvage this otherwise excellent recording of a fine classic.
"Minnesota accent for Swedish story."
I really wanted to not mind the narration because this is my favourite translation of the book (vastly better than the other), but wow, she really is unusual. The narrator not only has a strong Minnesotan accent, but she made all the characters really excited all the time, and--most offensively--does the voices like characters out of Scooby-Doo. Seriously, I kept picturing the ordinarily respectable characters sounding like caricatures.
It's an lovely book. Sweet, calm and happy.
"Overly dramatic reading"
I love this story.
The reader has ruined this classic tale by over dramatizing all the characters. It's to the point of distraction. My 9 year old, who loves books on tape, doesnt want to listen to Heidi because of the reading treatment.
"Great story, needs better recording!"
I enjoyed the story however the recording seemed poor, whereas the reader being difficult to understand.
Tired teacher. That is, REtired teacher.
"I Waited Too Long to Read This"
This is one of the few times where I liked the movie better than the book. Not that the book was bad. I just didn't catch the vision of it. Perhaps I should have read it as a young person. I would probably have appreciated it more than I do now. I did get to see the movie with the irrepressible Shirley Temple multiple times as a child (we didn't have the capability of seeing a movie any time we wanted back then - had to wait until it came on TV, perhaps once every other year). I had a hard time believing in the deep relationship between Heidi and the Grandfather in the book, whereas the movie made it easy to see through him and into his heart. Just my observations. But I definitely think it is worth reading, especially if you are a youngster.
As this book has been recorded by multiple narrators, i was careful to choose the one I thought was best. I thoroughly enjoyed Marnie MacAdam's narration. It was natural and engaging. Some of the others I listened to had annoying pronunciations that I could never have listened to over a long period of time. I'm glad I chose her.
"It's a religious children's book"
There are two things I feel important to note to future listeners.
The narrator, while usually lovely and pleasant to listen to, has a couple character voices that are almost unbearable: Fraulein R and the Tutor. The Fraulein is rife with hysterics that sometimes render her words indiscernible. The tutor probably captures his personality well, but I want to strangle him to make him shut up. I am grateful whenever another character interrupts him. There are several other dramatically acted voices, but these two made me need to skip forward in the audiobook. Luckily, it appears that these two minor characters are the only ones over the top.
Additionally, this is an old time children's story, which means that it is filled with quite a few mini sermons. Like a good christian girl, Heidi repeats them to her elders who are struggling. It is filled with a religious answer to suffering, death, anger with god, and what to do when you are in a situation that is not what you want or need. It's uber Christian. I remembered this story being more about the healing nature of the mountains and fresh air but those are minor in comparison to prayer and god having a better plan. If you like the religious themes, lock on. If they frustrate you, you might want to just watch one of the movies.

Cute but...
"The price was decent on clearance online, however the shoe was just ok. I ordered a size 7. The bronze color is a little off-putting. Mines had 2 dents in the material on top of the foot. I wasn't overly excited about these shoes. I'm debating on returning them."

Cute & comfy
"The sandals were comfy and looked great. Also, it didn't feel that narrow in the front (and I have wide feet).I usually wear 6.5 or 7, however, they didn't have 6.5 in black anymore. So, I got size 7 hoping that it'll maybe fit. Alas, it didn't even though I really wanted them to fit. It's sad, but I had to give them away."

In the year 2000, Brother Ali joined Rhymesayers with a self-prroduced demo called Rites of Passage. Three years later Ali took the underground by storm with an undeniable stage presence and his critically acclaimed debut full-length Shadows On The Sun. The impact was unquestionable and that next year Ali solidified his place amongst the independent Hip Hop elite with the release of 2004's The Champion EP.
Like deja vu, here we are three years later and Ali is ready to take the world by storm with his latest creation. After struggling through a series of personal roadblocks, from parting ways with his wife of 10 years, becoming homeless and trying to secure custody of his only son... Brother Ali along with Atmosphere producer and Shadows & Champion collaborator Ant, present the long awaited sophomore full-length album The Undisputed Truth. Personal, political and more powerful than ever, simply put, the truth is here.
"I wanted to make an album that gives you no choice but to feel what im saying at that given time", Ali explains of The Undisputed Truth. "I made choices that sent me through a lot of struggle in the past few years and Ant and I have made music that really communicates the exact feeling of those situations." -Brother Ali

New study may show the cause of H1N1-triggered narcolepsy
A new study from Stanford University School of Medicine shows that in genetically susceptible people, narcolepsy can sometimes be triggered by a similarity between a protein called hypocretin and a portion of a protein from the pandemic H1N1 virus.
The study provides some of the most compelling evidence so far for a scientific concept called "molecular mimicry.†Mimicry is the idea that the normal immune response to a pathogen, in this case the pandemic 2009 H1N1 influenza virus, can trigger autoimmunity — when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy components of the body — because of similarity between a pathogen protein and a human protein.
"The relationship between H1N1 infection, vaccination and narcolepsy gave us some very interesting insight into possible causes of the condition,†said Emmanuel Mignot, MD, PhD, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, and chair of Narcolepsy Network's Medical Advisory Board. "In particular, it strongly suggested to us that T cells of the immune system primed to attack H1N1 can occasionally also cross-react with hypocretin and somehow cause the destruction of hypocretin-producing neurons.â€
The new study suggests new ways to try and intervene before complete destruction of hypocretin cells. The study also could lead to a new blood test to diagnose narcolepsy, and it sheds light on a previously observed association between a pandemic H1N1 vaccine used in Europe in 2009 and an increase in narcolepsy cases in Scandinavia the subsequent year.
Mignot, a narcolepsy researcher and director of the Stanford Center for Sleep Sciences and Medicine, shares senior authorship of the research with Elizabeth Mellins, MD, an immunology researcher and professor of pediatrics at Stanford. The study was published Dec. 18 in Science Translational Medicine. Postdoctoral scholars Alberto de la Herrán-Arita, MD, PhD, and Birgitte Kornum, PhD, share lead authorship of the study.
"This study will shape the next decade of research into narcolepsy. It will focus investigators on immune-mediated mechanisms of neuronal death, which ultimately may shed light on other autoimmune diseases, particularly of the brain,†Mellins said.

"Obama, Boehner meet for an hour on \"Fiscal Cliff\""
Is Not Available At This Time.
Obama, Boehner to Meet on "Fiscal Dliff" Today
Please enter your comments below.
The Republicans don't get it. You have to go back to the Clinton era taxes, so the economy will grow, as we had a surplus at that time. The Bush tax cuts put us into this mess to start out with, then got us into a war that no one could pay for, where alot of our boys died senselessly. Consequently, we have this massive debt incurred over the Bush years in office. Obama has tried to fix it to no avail, but at least, he is trying to fix it. The only reason why the Republican Congress don't want the tax height on the rich is because they would be taxed themselves, and they certainly don't want that. Our economy failed with the Bush tax cuts. Common sense would tell anyone with a brain if the tax cuts worked so well for everyone, then why did the economy tank like it did? Maybe we should go over the cliff, then the Republicans won't even take the House next time around. They will get what they asked for and not be re-elected. If Romney had a plan instead of flip flopping so much, I would of voted for him amd I bet alot of other people would of, also, and he would be president, now.
Re Mrs.
It's refreshing that a WBEN listener "gets it" in the face of the tsunami of GOP lies and propaganda this station grinds out constantly. Be aware that Willard Romney did have a plan: it was to further erode the middle class in favor ofhis plutocrats and billionaires. The country did the right thing by giving him, appropriately, 47% of the popular vote.

African American Texture Education in Connecticut
Gina Rivera Presents:
Expert Care for Textured Hair
Thermal Reconditioning on African American Hair Texture
A 3-Day Seminar for Licensed Stylists
Increase Your Expertise
Become a Multicultural
Hair-care Professional
Dear Licensed Stylist,
Are you interested in increasing your salon revenues and becoming a known expert in Healthy Hair Care and Thermal Reconditioning ? Although many stylists are struggling to make it in a tough economic climate, you can drastically increase your profit margin by expanding your specialty skills and knowledge with in the African American market.
This is the best time ever to offer a process that will be inviting for so many clients during this movement in time with the natural hair care industry.
Hair is The Top Priority for Black Women
Women email and call Hair Salon Owner, Stylist and Thermal Reconditioning Expert Gina Rivera from all over the world asking her if she knows of a stylist in their area that cares about healthy black hair care or knows how to do Japanese Thermal Reconditioning on black hair. Why? There are not a lot of salons that specialize in healthy hair care and Thermal Reconditioning on black hair. There is now a major demand for salons that know how to successfully perform Thermal Reconditioning. However, the Thermal Reconditioning companies do not have the experience to teach healthy black hair care, which is necessary to master before doing Thermals on this range of hair texture. This is a particular need right now, in light of the fact that the majority of the United States population in the next five years will have textured hair.
Here is a sample of the email inquiries that Gina has received over several years:
Can you recommend someone who can do this process in Orange County, CA?
I recently watched your video on Youtube. As a mixed raced woman , who has had nothing but horrid experiences at black hair salons since I was a child, I found your videos to be refreshing and honest. I currently reside in London, England, so I am obviously not close to your salon.
Do you know of a good stylist here by chance?
I am a 21 year old black girl living in London, England. I have had the fantastic opportunity to follow some of your amazing videos and articles about Thermal straightening black hair. I have truly been very impressed by the work that you have done. I really would like to get the same done on my hair but alas I have no idea where to get started. Your salon is obviously too far for me to travel to, so I wondered if you had any contacts in the UK, anyone that you could specifically recommend to me that does the same level of Thermal Hair straightening that you do. I would really appreciate this opportunity to give my hair much needed TLC.
I am a black female in the Chicago area, do you know anyone in my area that does the Thermal Reconditioning process? I cant afford to fly to Connecticut or I would. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
My hair type is biracial. My mom is white and my dad is black . . . I go into Toronto [and] there are over 25 salons that offer [Thermal Reconditioning] but Im not sure which one I should go to. Trust me, if you were closer, I would already made my mom drive me to your salon for a consultation but sadly youre not. I was wondering if you could help me out because I dont always want to relax and straighten my hair, the TR seems like a much healthier route for me.
Do you know if there is any trained hair stylist who could apply thermal reconditioning on coarse, African American hair in the Montreal or Toronto region?
According to BlackAmericans.com, studies show that Black women still flock to their hairdressers for routine maintenance, despite the recession. According to Global Report, African-Americans account for just 13 percent of the U.S. population. Yet they also account for 80 percent of hair-care sales in the United States. African-Americans spend three times more on hair-care than all other Americans combined. "Every woman wants to be beautiful no matter what color. But Black women have a special pride that includes taking care of their hair, says Britney Adams, a Louisiana-based stylist.
Gina Riveras Healthy Black Hair Care and Thermal Reconditioning Seminar
Hairs Talent Salon is now offering a seminar entitled Healthy Black Hair Care and Thermal Reconditioning, which will teach stylists how to do Japanese Thermal Reconditioning on African-American hair textures, as well as teach various methods on how to take proper care of African American hair textures in order to achieve excellent results.
What is Thermal Reconditioning?
Thermal Reconditioning is a Thio-based chemical procedure which uses heat to restructure the hair's protein bond, enabling those with frizzy, curly, or wavy hair to experience permanently straight hair while at the same time preserving the health and improving the feel, texture, softness, & shine, leaving the hair completely manageable.
Why should you offer Thermal Reconditioning to your clientele?
It is one of the best ways to expand into the booming healthy hair care market. Today, black women have become more disenchanted with the damaging effects of sodium-hydroxide relaxers and are seeking another method of permanently straightening their hair while simultaneously achieving long, healthy hair. In addition, black women are seeking a hair straightening method that will lessen the amount of hair processing time on a daily basis. Thermal Reconditioning is the perfect solution for women who want healthy, straight, manageable, gorgeous healthy hair.
In order to successfully execute a Thermal Reconditioning Treatment on a client, you must be trained by a certified stylist who knows how to do the treatment on African American hair textures. Gina Rivera is one of very few stylists around the world who has mastered the Thermal Reconditioning Technique on African American hair.

This former Disney tweener was reportedly in tears over the weekend because the executive she was having sex with to get the dream gig on national television she wanted was fired and the current regime doesn't want to hire her.
Gomez…the viewReplyCancel
That Good Luck Charlie actress.ReplyCancel
Bridgit MendlerReplyCancel
Tricia Whaaaa? She wants the view??ReplyCancel
@kristin..yeah…I heard rumblings bout that, saw something, they definitely want to have a Latina on board, and I think she was vying for it….zendaya great guess too…but she's super young right? Is she still a tweeners? I'm tweeners challenged lolReplyCancel
a very young one on "the View", interesting.ReplyCancel
And thee was that blind a couple weeks ago, which Gomez was the guess for..ex tweener moved on from ex(vibes) and sleeping with older executive…
Duff still married, and it didn't state that, so wasn't herReplyCancel
Friggin typos
Scratch Zendaya. I was thinking the Aaliyah movie. Doesn't fit. Whoopi would annihilate Hot Tub Duff on the View. Or any other tweener. But the view makes sense.ReplyCancel
Christy Carlson RomanoReplyCancel
Except they're not talking bout a lifetime movie or movie, it's a reoccurring"gig"..eg-tv hostReplyCancel
Britney Spears looked sad, smudged, and smoking cig, over this weekend.
I could see her wanting The View. But I don't know how much longer her LV show must go on. She also had falken off with her BF recently, maybe due to her bogging some exec???
Hey Wait!!! Maybe we should think Eastcoaster if we're talking The View.ReplyCancel
Britney can't string together a coherent sentence, no way she'd be interested in The View.
I like the Lovato guess.ReplyCancel
Brenda SongReplyCancel
"Bogging"? I meant "baffing", but it all works.ReplyCancel
I'm going with that Ariana Grande chick.ReplyCancel
She is NickelodeonReplyCancel
Which one is Nick? Ariana? I can't keep them straight. They all seem on the edge of a meltdown at any moment.ReplyCancel
LOL HOAR!ReplyCancel
If the exec is Bill Geddie I feel sorry for the dumb ho who did him.
HilDuff has a supporting role in a pilot for Darren Star. Tvland just ordered 12 episodes but she'd dump it for The View if her contract allowed.
Maybe it's Demi Lovato, if it wasn't for bad luck she'd have no luck at all.ReplyCancel
What about Adrienne Bailon, wouldn't she love to be on the View?ReplyCancel
@Sincerely, Your Friend – they would never, ever, ever, ever put Britney on the View. She could never do it. She can't handle anything unscripted.ReplyCancel

Funny Bones: Anatomy of a Celebrity Caricature
The latest video that John Kascht and I completed, Funny Bones: Anatomy of a Celebrity Caricature, has been posted to the National Portrait Gallery's website, blog, and YouTube page. You can see it on my site as well, by clicking here. In this film, John uses Conan O'Brien as a case study to share with you his process of creating a celebrity caricature.
The film begins with a brief description of "caricature" and quickly moves into the challenges and pitfalls of generating an accurate likeness of a celebrity whose personality is familiar to all of us, but also one that few of us will ever know personally.
This is a rare opportunity to see John's process as he gathers research material, accumulates countless sketches, completes several watercolors, and even renders Conan in clay in an attempt to pin down an extremely dynamic subject.
This is a rare opportunity to see Conan O'Brien, Sharpie in hand, sketching John Kascht.
I promise you, upon watching this film, you will hear yourself say on more than one occasion, "Huh, I didn't know that". I did, countless times while filming and editing this project. John's narrative is delightful and insightful and he shares with you his unique observations on Conan's background, the role he had in the history of The Tonight Show, and his savvy use of social media.
John and I had tremendous help from a pool of phenomenal local talent. Please pay attention to the soundtrack of this video, particularly the contributions made by The Bog Swing Band (Roy Wlliams, Nick Driscoll, Ian O'Hara, Coleman Smith, Shane O'Hara, Kevin Williams, and Anthony Hannigan), Pappy Biondo, and the King's Herald Quartet. We can not thank them enough.
Ken Lambert, Ruth Fremson, Bill O'leary, Art Streiber and Meghan Sinclair's generous contribution of archived still images of Conan was beyond colossal.
Thank you to our technical support for always lending a brain to pick; Rembert Meszler, Spence, Hana Gorman, Joel Braverman, Jana deHart, Mark Davey and David Lauterbach.
Our cafe crew, Pauline Glykokoalos, Piper Biondo, Julio Davila, Kristen Daniels, Jöelle Dujardin, Shawn Laster, Jose C. Reyes, Terry Smith, Katharine Brown, Marie Bryant, Heather Hogan-Spence, Paul Ludick, Dolores Motichka, and Jim Petorak each deserve, if not an Oscar nomination, a gold star for patience, tolerance and an astounding ability to play well with others.
Thank you so much to Conan O'Brien for the support and cooperation.
Thank you to the National Portrait Gallery for making this video possible.
A very special thank you to Dolores Motichka for making sure John and I were properly nourished, and for knowing when to drag us away from the third floor, when to leave us alone, and when to diplomatically separate myself from John.
Funny Bones Debut
Funny Bones: Anatomy of a Celebrity Caricature, a Gallery360 film that John Kascht and I created for the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, will debut tomorrow April 7, 2011 on the Portrait Gallery's website and blog. John chose Conan O"Brien as a case study to walk an audience through his creative process of capturing a celebrity likeness in caricature.
John Kascht, Conan O'Brien, Bog Swing Band, and Pappy Biondo
So I'm still fixated on this project I just wrapped up. It is out of my hands and safely in those of The Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery. I am eager to share the link when it posts on the NPG's website. It was seven months of working away from home trying to narrate, visually, John Kascht's truly unique perspective of Conan O'Brien. Piecing together a dialogue with moving pictures was a challenge and I am grateful, as is John, for the support we had from the local creative community. The Bog Swing Band (find them as The Bog Country Band here) supplied the majority of the soundtrack to the film, and Pappy Biondo added a key musical element with his kazoo recording of a song that was written by the lead from the Swing Band, Roy Williams. Please support and encourage them.
Conan O'Brien, John Kascht, and The Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery
So what have I been doing for the past few months? I became real familiar with Final Cut, that's what. John Kascht and I teamed up again to produce a Gallery360 video for the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery. The video will premiere in the coming weeks on the Portrait Gallery's website. I will post a link as soon as it is available.

Makeup Artist Tricks For Natural Makeup

Nail the Nearly Naked Makeup Look For National Nude Day
It's easy to look like you're wearing makeup — not that that's a bad thing — but we've all wanted to achieve that perfectly natural look, too. The catch? Most of us need a little makeup to look like we woke up looking effortlessly radiant (Beyoncé knows something we don't, obviously). Since it's National Nude Day, you can get that no-makeup makeup look with these easy tips straight from the pros.


text: I trained a Machop that I got via trade and I headed back to Goldenrod City after I did some training on Route 34. I healed my Pokemon at the local Pokemon Center, then I went straight to the Goldenrod City Gym. I went to Whitney's spot and I challenged her to a battle. I used my Geodude against her Clefairy, but that battle went nowhere so I switched to Quilava and I defeated Clefairy with Ember. I used my Flaaffy against Miltank afterwards, and I was able to weaken it but Flaaffy lost to Miltank's Rollout eventually, so I switched to Machop. I barely won the battle and then Whitney threw a huge temper tantrum and a Gym trainer had to calm her down before she handed over the Plain Badge. I also got the Attract TM from her before I left the Gym. I picked up the Squirtbottle at the Flower Shop, then I healed my Pokemon and I saved before heading north to Ecruteak City.

^Gotta love that twist!
Really weird twist but it's gonna be fun to see what happens next.
''Brother running with a torch and not a damn thing you can do about it!''
chapter 88 is out on onemanga! i really love this manga, and akiyama always turns out to be the coolest!
now they now there are three liars, because i think akiyama will trust the four eyes and distrust the other three.
Chapters 89 and 90 are out on onemanga!!!!!
Man Akiyama is a genius!!!!
100+101 are out on onemanga.
Absolutely mindbending plot. How can anybody come up with something so intricate?
The invisible and the non-existent look very much alike.
well, a buch of new chapters on onemanga.
it's really a great fourth round!!
thanks a lot to watercrown who scanslated these chapter
I just started reading this manga two days ago; I'm at chapter 132 now \o/
Although I don't really like how the manga started, the way it developed into the way it is now is awesome.
It's a great manga, and I've heard there's an anime and Drama as well; I've also heard that the Drama sucks though -_-'
It matters little, I can't wait for the upcoming chapters
Zetsuboushita|ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWAH! «°-°«
I really like the way each arc adds a new major adversary, although I hate most of their allies(god they're annoying minus the tranny/akiyama/nao).. Before just vs Yokoya you could kind of predict the outcome of things.. but with another major villain.. it adds so many elements to the game, I cant wait for future chapters this manga is definitely one of my favorites.
Hm, the only thing I've been wondering is, to get to the fourth round is quite difficult. So the contestants there should be awesomely smart. The thing is, only Akiyama, Yokoya and Harimoto seem to actually have brains while the others seem really simple minded.
That aside, I like the fact that many, many things are predictable and it's amusing when the predictions come true, haha xD
Have you guys read "Liar Game - Roots of A"? It's basically 6 original one-shots. It has Akiyama (when he was a student) in it, he's so adorable :3

Stanley Wedge Plus Spinnerbaits
With the Stanley Wedge Plus Spinnerbait, you'll reel and feel this lure all the way back to the boat, if it makes it that far! The Wedge Plus Spinnerbait emits more vibration and flash than any other spinnerbait on the market. The specially designed Wedge blades taper down in thickness, which allows them to thump as hard as a Colorado blade and still deliver the flash of a willow blade. The Wedge Plus Spinnerbait also features vibrashaft stainless wire, super smooth ball bearing swivels, a realistic scale head with eyes, and a live action silicone skirt.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Only problem with this spinner bait is that the top blade came off after hitting it on some brush in the water poor metal quality.
From: Logan: St. Louis, MO 12/20/15
Comments: I've been using this blade for about a month now. On one bait I've landed numerous big largemouth as well as some giant stripers. The bait has held up well so far and shows very little signs of wear. My only quarrel is that the skirt slips down a little easier than I would like. For a willow bladed spinnerbait, this one produces plenty of vibration. This is a good quality blade.
From: Justin: SC 3/8/15
Comments: I have never trusted spinnerbaits that much but i purchased this because of hearing about its uality and i knew chartreuse and white is a good color i made a trip to a pond and caught 6 bass the biggest one being a 3 pounder. IT WAS AWESOME!
From: Matt: VA
Comments: I fish Rayburn and Toledo Bend a lot. For me, there is no other spinner bait for day use. Night fishing look at zorros.
From: Tim: TX
Comments: a great all around bait really out preformeds ome of the other spinnerbaits out on the market. bass love them
From: Aaron: Johnson City, TN
Comments: If i want to catch fish this is what i use. I've caught largemouth bass, striper, and hybrids with this, lots of fun. Only one problem the gold blade comes off after a while.
From: Miguel: Austin, TX
Comments: I like the bait. It has good vibration and flash. The only problem is durability; the top blade breaks to often.

Virgin Blue Announces $99 Pre-Launch Special Between Melbourne And Brisbane11/07/2000
Virgin Blue Airlines today unveiled flights between Melbourne and Brisbane during the month of October for $99 (including GST), if booked before 3 August, as part of its launch game plan.
Commercial flights will begin by 1 October, 2000 with six daily services (3 return trips) on one of the key business and leisure routes in Australia.
Richard Branson, Chairman of VIRGIN Group, made the announcement while visiting the home ground of the appropriately named AFL team, Carlton BLUEs.
After kicking a few goals under the watchful eye of Coach David Parkin, Richard said that he hoped to see more people travel between the two states, not just to visit family or do business, but also to see great sporting events at affordable prices.
"We didn't want the Victorian market to be left behind when Virgin Blue takes off with fares under $100," he stated.
Richard continued, "Even after our August launch, we remain committed to being Australia's low fare carrier offering $139 fares one way, including GST, on an ongoing basis for over 50% of the seats between the two cities."
Today's announcement followed on VIRGIN's recently released $99 Brisbane-Sydney fares that hundreds of customers and travel agents have already taken advantage of.
Before visiting Carlton, Richard Branson inspected the new Common User Domestic Terminal under construction at Melbourne Airport.
He commented, "It's brilliant to see such a customer friendly facility go up so quickly; the short walk from curbside to the aircraft is sure to be appreciated by our guests onboard the aircraft."
Virgin Blue continues to work closely with the Civil Aviation Safety Authority to obtain its Air Operators Certificate for a 3 August kickoff.

Penhaligons Bluebell Eau de Toilette
Bluebell: A Signature Scent of Princess Diana, from Penhaligon's of London
Rated 2.8 out of 5Â by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by tommybird Memories This scent reminds me very much of my beloved Grannie Bea. It's also one of my husband's favorite scents. April 6, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Judy1981 bad perfume I ordered this perfume with great expectations since I had tried a bluebell perfume from England before. However, this perfume smelled really bad. I have to wonder if it was defective. It was said in the ad for it that Princess Diana called this her signature perfume. I can't believe she would want to smell like this. March 19, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Brat10 Not as good as I expected Based on the description, thought I would enjoy this fragrance, but find it overwhelmingly strong... wouldn't buy it again. February 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ChristineV Love it! I love it! it is very refreshing, albeit a bit strong. One to two little sprays go a long way! In the summer I put it in the fridge, so refreshing on a hot day. January 27, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Diana fan Princess Dianas' Bluebell perfume I have always admired Diana and collected dolls and all sorts of memorabilia over the years. I was thrilled to own a bottle of her signature scent. I was so disappointed with the perfume. It has a very faint scent of bluebell and is very weak. For the cost; one spray should work. I kept the perfume for display only as the scent only lasts for minutes. June 24, 2013
