|Spider to the Fly bag by samsstuff
This week the question was to describe your mortal enemy & why you hate them. I chose this prompt to highlight an unusual philosophy of mine: I don't actually hate anyone. How can this be? Doesn't everyone hate at one point or another? Yes, maybe, but...There's always a but, isn't there? Again, maybe. I will say that there are certain individual actions that I am not fond, political posturing, lies told behind the back, harmful talk that once done, can't be undone. My dislike could be possibly be called hate, but a hate of action, not of an individual.
So, who is my mortal enemy? If I had to name someone, it would be myself, but even then, I wouldn't say I hate myself. I only say this in that I can get in my own way, like we all get in our own way, from time to time. We don't always know how to pick the right battles or when to say the right thing, to make things happen in our lives or when to help out others. Sometimes we run possibilities over & over again until we've missed the opportunity to act. We become our own nemesis, a stumbling block to the perfect life we might otherwise have and this is why I say that I'm my own worst enemy. The upside of this, though is the opportunity to learn & that makes us our own best friend. If things were perfect the first time, every time, we wouldn't grow, we'd stagnate & life would ultimately be pretty boring, wouldn't it?
Have you ever seen the movie "Unbreakable"? I love it, but then I love comic books, though not usually the super hero variety. In the film Bruce Willis plays the unbreakable one. No matter what happens, he survives. His life is far from perfect. His marriage is falling apart, he's losing his job, despite having the ability to survive any physical disaster. His nemesis, played by Samuel L. Jackson, is the opposite. He can barely walk across the street without breaking bones. He is a successful businessman, he has a mother who loved him, but he becomes obsessed with learning how the Bruce Willis character survives so easily, when he is so fragile. It's kind of a super hero/ super villain juxtaposition, in a way that only really happens in comic books, but told in a very realistic manner. They become friends & they become enemies. It's a fascinating study. In reality, I think we're all a mixture of these extreme characters, fragile & strong, enemy & friend, kind of all & none of the above.
What do you think? Do you have someone you hate? Do you have a mortal enemy? A frienemy? Someone who has been both friend & enemy, at some point? Do you think we can be superhero/nemesis even to ourselves? All interesting questions...SAM

2015-08-24 - "Don't think of running as an extra 'to do' or another thing on your list… but rather as a pleasure. Think of it as a 'to may'." Flemish running expert, media star and all round motivational guru, Evy Gruyaert, tells us what keeps her going – and offers some rock-solid running tips.
Evy Gruyaert (36) is a well-known TV and radio presenter in Flanders (the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium), who has built a 'do-it-yourself' running and sports community with a following of over 200k. Evy is perhaps best known for her voice in the running app 'Running with Evy' in which she literally keeps you going with vocal commands such as "Come on", "Don't give up" and "Only a few minutes left!". We asked her how she combines her career with sports and still finds time to enjoy her 3-year old son.
First of all, why do you run?
Evy: "I love the way it makes you feel. It's more than just a physical activity – running empties your mind. It's good to combat stress and very good for fighting the blues. But one of the best things about running is that it's so time-efficient. I have a really hectic life and a young son to look after, so I love how you can always somehow fit it in. And of course it's also total 'me-time'!"
You've got hundreds and thousands of people out running in the last few years; can you describe your (crazy) journey?
"In 2001 I won a competition on Belgian national radio, VRT, to present a new show. I've since presented programmes on all manner of subjects, such as travel, showbiz and economics. In 2006 I started presenting a show called Vlaanderen Sportland (Flanders sporting country), in which the aim was to get people who didn't exercise, outside and running. Seeing the transformational effect of sport and running firsthand led me to make a running podcast called 'Start to Run' and (on www.starttorun.be). Since my first 2 million downloads, I have released an app, many books and social media platforms, and of course I still do lots of TV."
How did your life change when your son arrived?
"Well, I won't be the first to say this, but when you have a baby pretty much everything changes. You have to reconnect with yourself, with your partner, and you automatically reassess your priorities. Now, he's three years old, so it's mainly lots and lots of planning!"
How did you get fit again after having your son? What's your advice for others?
"I was quite single-minded about it. From the moment I was allowed to exercise again, I did. I knew that having a baby requires a lot of energy, and that the best way to increase your energy is by exercise. So I forced myself to take the plunge and start running. It's a decision I have never regretted! My advice is to make a 'mental click' and just get out there and do it! Don't see it as a punishment, see it as a pleasure."
Why have you put so much time into getting other people out there moving?
"It's actually quite profound. I've noticed that children – and society as a whole – have moved to a very sedentary lifestyle. Studies show how bad this is for our health. That's why I use digital technology like apps, podcasts and social media to encourage as may people as possible to get out there and move."
Now, over to your running tips. Please share your secrets!
"There is no real secret to running. It's mostly a question of motivation and just getting out there and doing it.
This list is made up of the things I wish that I were told when I was trying to get back into shape after my son was born!
- See running as pure, unadulterated, me-time. Half an hour without nappies or bottles. Time for you and no one else.
- Running – and in fact any kind of exercise – generates serotonins. This means that by moving you'll feel happy and better about yourself.
- Running is actually a really cheap course in mindfulness!
- Running will change the proportions of your body. Quickly!
- Why not use running as a way to meet up with other parents? Go for a jog and a chat together as a healthy alternative to meeting up for a glass of wine.
- Don't hibernate indoors when you have a baby or toddler. It's much more fun to take them with you in a stroller suitable for running.
- Don't think of running as an extra 'to do' or another thing on your list… but rather as a pleasure. Think of it as a 'to may'!
Good luck!"

ThomasScholz needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 59 designs submitted by 18 freelance designers.
Gainbot is a young company providing an innovative e-commerce application called InspirationTV. In the near future gainbot will develop more tools for online retailers to increase their profit and customer loyalty. Our initial instinct is to create a custom designed Robot mascot, the gainbot that should explain how the different tools work.
The target market consists of established online retailers in Europe and North America.
The gainbot mascot should be designed as a mixture of Bender (Futurama) and Wall-E. Bender is the typical robot stereotype which is based on human motion. Wall-E instead is cute from that moment you see him. His "face" is able to show feelings and his behavior increase empathy.
The gainbot should be:
• designed in 2D or 3D (100$ Bonus for 3D)
• designed in three different poses (see attached files)
• based on the gainbot logo (see attached files)
If you have the skills to design the gainbot in 3D do so, but it is not essential for the whole contest. There will be another contest after this one where 13 other poses will have to be designed. Good Luck.

Yeah, I am, however, bummed that the sidecar motorcycle set won't be out until 2009. It would have made sense to have that this summer with the first TLC wave, as that's the most iconic image in that movie.
ActionFigs.com: This question comes up quite a bit, so here goes. With the Indiana Jones line, will you be making another deluxe German Motorcycle, one that comes with a sidecar and perhaps Henry Jones sr.? Good way to reuse a few molds and get something new and desired into collectors hands, and it looks like the motorcycle we currently have was designed to accommodate a sidecar.Hasbro: We do have plans for a sidecar version in 2009, but Henry Jones will be coming on a basic figure card later this year so we wouldn't include him with the motorcycle.
That Indy would technically be inaccurate however... TLC Indy's got his necktie on I believe, throughout the chase. Could be wrong though but I thought he did. Hopefully they could just use the horse Indy's legs.

Just as "Downton Abbey" fans are gearing up for the Season 4 debut of their beloved period drama, which is scheduled for Jan. 5, 2014, it's been announced that there will be a fifth season.
The show, which will continue to air on PBS' "Masterpiece Classics" in the United States and ITV in the U.K., has proven a pop-culture phenomenon for PBS. It's actually the network's most-watched drama ever.
PHOTOS: Behind the scenes of 'Downton Abbey'
Created by Julian Fellowes, "Downton Abbey" first aired in 2010 and has since garnered much critical acclaim and won a number of Golden Globe and Emmy awards. It takes place in the Yorkshire country estate called Downton Abbey and follows the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and its live-in staff during the early 20th century — a time of massive change for the British class system.
"Downton Abbey" is a Carnival Films and Masterpiece co-production, and although the show seemed a shoo-in for renewal due to its unprecedented popularity, nothing was for sure thanks to a variety of factors, including how in demand Fellowes has been outside the series.

The Butler is a very good, but not great film featuring Forest Whitaker in a terrific performance as a White House butler who served from the Eisenhower to Reagan administrations and experienced on several levels the upheaval in race relations and civil rights through those years. Many emotional moments and fine performances, including the welcome return to the screen of Oprah Winfrey, as the butler's wife.
But for CMG members, I must take note that the sound track of the film begins with the Schumann Piano Concerto! Although I love the piece, its connection to the film is dubious. since the opening scene depicts a horrible event: Whitaker's character, as a boy on a Georgia cotton plantation, witnessing the rape of his mother by the plantation owner's son and the murder of his father when he protests. A few other samples of classical music appear in the film, including a scene where Pablo Casals performs at the invitation of JFK and Jackie.
P.S. Out of curiosity, I looked up the full credits for this film and found that the piano soloist for the Schumann was one Gerald Robbins. I had never heard of him, so I did some further digging an found this bio:
Walter Klien (who I had heard of) is another pianist listed in the credits.

ULDD Phase 2 Preparation Tips, Specification Update, and More
August 22, 2013
Our Single-Family News Center article provides you with information on the following:
- Preparing for the Uniform Loan Delivery Dataset (ULDD) Phase 2.
- ULDD specification updates, including the removal of Appendix E-MISMO Version 3.0 Reference Model with GSE Extensions.
- Qualified Mortgage requirements.
- Fannie Mae's implementation of ULDD Phase 2.
Evaluate Your Business Processes & Loan Delivery Method
As you prepare for ULDD Phase 2, you should now be completing your data point analysis. After carefully reviewing the Phase 2 data points, you should know which data points you currently collect and which ones require a plan for future collection. For more information, be sure to read the May 20 Single-Family News Center article.
Once you've completed your data analysis, you can move to the next step in your preparation–evaluating your business processes and confirming your delivery method. During this important phase, you should complete the following tasks:
- Validate the potential impacts that collecting the new data points may have on your business processes.
- Identify possible gaps within your business areas, including loan production, operations and controls, and packaging and shipping.
- Consider resource impacts to your systems and support staff.
- Confirm your loan delivery method, particularly if you currently enter your loan data manually. If you'd like to work with a technology vendor to import all or some of your data, be sure to talk to vendors now. Our vendor selection guide provides important questions to help you determine the right vendor for your needs.
- If you currently use a vendor's technology solution, ask your vendor about their implementation timeline.
We'll continue to provide you with tips to help you prepare for ULDD Phase 2. In October, we will provide you with a link to the Are You Ready for ULDD Phase 2 tutorial, which is designed to help you and your team take the necessary steps for a successful implementation.
ULDD Specification Updates
Earlier this year, we informed you that we would be making updates to the ULDD Phase 2 specification on approximately a quarterly basis. These updates address changes to Freddie Mac delivery requirements and market conditions, as well as provide you with more clarity for delivery success. Please be sure to take these changes into account as you continue your Phase 2 preparations.
Today, you will find updates to the ULDD Phase 2 specification, Appendix A – Freddie Mac XML Data Requirements V.3.2.0, which include changes and clarifications to support your implementation. Tab 9Q3-ULDDS Addendum Issued 8-22-2013 provides the list of data points with updated requirements, including conditionality details, implementation notes, format, or enumerations;
Tab 7-Cardinality provides updates to the loan delivery data file structure; and Tab 10-Phase 2 Complete Mandate 8-25-2014 provides the complete dataset for the Phase 2 implementation, including all addendum changes to date.
We also encourage you to leverage the recorded tutorial, Selling System Updates, Tips, and Best Practices – 2nd Quarter 2013, with information on ULDD Phase 2 and useful tips and reminders about delivering data through the selling system.
Additional News
- QM Requirements: The ULDD Phase 2 dataset will not include requirements for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's Ability-to-Repay (ATR) and Qualified Mortgage (QM) ruling. These requirements will be announced as part of ULDD Phase 3. For more information on ATR and QM requirements for mortgages with applications received on or after January 10, 2014, please review our July 2, 2013 article and Industry Letter, along with the August 20 Guide Bulletin.
- Fannie Mae ULDD implementation: On June 27, 2013, Fannie Mae announced a delay to their timeline for the ULDD Phase 2 implementation. However, Fannie Mae is emphasizing the need for lenders and vendors to continue to work toward the ULDD Phase 2 timeline, which includes collecting the Phase 2 data points for all loans with Application Received Dates on or after March 1, 2014. Freddie Mac continues working toward the August 25, 2014, mandate with the transition period beginning on May 19, 2014. For more information, please see our article.
- Removal of Appendix E-MISMO Version 3.0 Reference Model with GSE Extensions: The ULDD Phase 2 requirements included Appendix E, containing extensions to the MISMO Version 3.0 Reference Model. Since Freddie Mac does not require the data points specified in the extension containers, and Fannie Mae will not be able to accept the two Appendix E data points until a later date, we have removed Appendix E from our website and our requirements.
More Information
For more information, please review the following:
- Appendix A – Freddie Mac XML Data Requirements V.3.2.0 updated August 22, 2013. Refer to the Excel version for easier data sorting and organizing: Appendix D – Freddie Mac XML Data Requirements Reference Tool V.3.2.0.
- Preparing for ULDD Phase 2 calendar, with a monthly checklist of important tasks.
- Vendor Selection Guide
- QM and ATR information.
- Selling System Updates, Tips, and Best Practices – 2nd Quarter 2013.
- Coming soon: Are You Ready for ULDD Phase 2 training and the ULDD Implementation Guide.
As always, please contact 800-FREDDIE or your Freddie Mac selling system representative with questions.
This communication relates to the Uniform Mortgage Data Program, an effort undertaken jointly by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae at the direction of their regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

Ask any homeowner which room they plan on remodeling and odds are they'll say the bathroom or the kitchen. According to the National Association of Home Builders, 78 percent of renovation professionals say bathrooms are there most common job. Kitchen remodels remain common as well, with 69 percent of builders saying their customers want to improve the so-called heart of the home.
Florida Today reports that kitchen projects are especially popular among female homeowners. The publication cites a recent survey conducted by Better Homes and Gardens magazine that found that women view kitchen remodels as "the premier interior decorating project." The reasoning has nothing to do with creating a superior space in which to prepare meals for their family and friends. Instead, those polled said they want to re-do their kitchens in order to show off their true personalities to everyone who enters their homes.
Kitchens are not only popular rooms to renovate, they can also be expensive. According to Remodeling Magazine, a minor kitchen remodel costs an average of more than $18,000, while a major upgrade averages just under $54,000.
According to Florida Today, doing your kitchen over may also take a lot of time. In fact, the average time needed from design to completion of a kitchen project is about two years. The reason - cabinets, flooring, countertops and appliances must often be ordered in advance and take a long time to arrive. Other factors that can slow a project down include labor and changes in design decisions. The Seattle Times reports that changing your mind after the renovation has already started can cost you as much as $1,500.
While planning is important, experts say individuals should also think ahead when planning a kitchen project. After all, it's unlikely that you'll change the space again in a few years.
Design experts often suggest including features that will make the room work well for your family now as well as down the line. Florida Today reports this often includes raising the height of your countertops to help aging homeowners have an easier time working in their new kitchen well into the future.
This may also mean splurging a bit on items that will increase the comfort and functionality of the space over the years. For instance, installing radiant heat can make your kitchen a warm, inviting place for you, your family members and guests now and into the future.

AMMAN, JORDAN — The Arab world's best-known satellite TV network purchased the American cable channel Current TV last week. That means you may soon be able to add "Al Jazeera America" to your remote control favorites. If you're a news junkie like me, you should tune in. The network, founded 15 years ago in the Qatari capital of Doha, has forever improved TV news, especially in the Middle East.
Before Al Jazeera, many Arabs could watch only state-owned and -run television stations that primarily broadcast official images of one esteemed leader or another, usually holding court at his palace, often to the background sound of classical music.
Before Al Jazeera, live interviews were for the most part banned on Arab TV. News anchors were handed text vetted by security officials and government representatives. Newsmakers couldn't be spoken to live by guests, because how could the government predict what they would say? What if something was revealed that the public was not supposed to know?
Al Jazeera changed that. Few people realize that many of its original staff members were trained at and worked for the BBC. Right away, Al Jazeera Arabic, in the flagship broadcast, provided live interviews and, more important, something Arab state media never dared to touch: the other point of view.

WA Gov. Extends Burn Ban To All Of Washington State
OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Gov. Chris Gregoire has extended her emergency burn ban to include all counties in Washington state. No outdoor burning is allowed in the state through midnight, Oct. 15. The governor says the reason for the extended ban is the state's long stretch of warm dry weather, which has elevated fire danger across Washington.

jpcasino needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 122 designs submitted by 32 freelance designers.
This newly created corporation will be using Internet and traditional marketing to attract niche market custom tee shirt customers. Eventually it will branch into many diverse lines of clothing. I am a casino operator by trade and love weather themes i.e. tornados, hurricanes, lightning etc.
Initially I will be attracting motorcycle enthusiasts. Harley Davidson owners will be my first niche market.
Frankly, I have limited creative skills, which may cause this to go in multiple directions. I want people to say "What a cool logo". If I knew how to design an excellent logo, I would not be here!

A business entity is an organization that uses economic resources or inputs to provide goods or services to customers in exchange for money or other goods and services.
Business organizations come in different types and different forms of ownership.
There are three major types of businesses:
A service type of business provides intangible products (products with no physical form). Service type firms offer professional skills, expertise, advice, and other similar products.
Examples of service businesses are: salons, repair shops, schools, banks, accounting firms, and law firms.
This type of business buys products at wholesale price and sells the same at retail price. They are known as "buy and sell" businesses. They make profit by selling the products at prices higher than their purchase costs.
A merchandising business sells a product without changing its form. Examples are: grocery stores, convenience stores, distributors, and other resellers.

Q: Will research projects like the proposed $100 million annual brain-mapping undertaking bring significant economic benefits to San Diego?
Panel's answer: Yes 7, No 1
Marney Cox, San Diego Association of Governments
Answer: YES
For most economists, supporting research & (hopefully) development ventures like brain-mapping are part of the entrepreneurial investments that must be successful to ensure long-run economic growth. Vibrant R&D facilities and companies that have spurred the growth in new technologies have played a major role in transforming economies around the world, including ours. The primary economic rationale for a government role in R&D is that, absent such intervention, the private market would not adequately supply certain types of research. In order for taxpayers to continue this supportive role, it is important to monitor, measure and document the link between R&D and economic growth.
Kelly Cunningham, National University Systems
Answer: YES
San Diego's cluster of world-class research institutes attracts top-level researchers, scientists and engineers from around the world. National University System Institute for Policy Research in conjunction with CONNECT's Innovation Report finds San Diego has the nation's third largest biotech/biomed industry, with more than 30,000 workers. In addition to 600 life-sciences/biomedical companies operating in the county, San Diego has more than 3,000 information-technology, wireless and software companies, 50 mobile health/genomics, and 75 bioinformatics operations. The region already generates more than $1 billion per year in life-sciences research. San Diego is well equipped to conduct and benefit from brain-mapping research.
Alan Gin, University of San Diego
San Diego is a center for scientific research and development, so any additional funding in that area will benefit the local economy. The region has a great combination of academic institutions (led by UCSD), private research institutes, and private companies with an interest in the outcome of that research. Growth in scientific research feeds on itself by attracting even more research resources, as other scientists and companies locate here to take advantage of what urban economists call economies of agglomeration, which involves the synergies due to proximity in location. All other sectors of the economy would in turn benefit from the increased economic activity and spending.
James Hamilton, University of California San Diego
Biotech has been a significant plus for the San Diego economy, where a key new industry has grown up around UCSD as a nucleus. An influx of new federal money will result directly in more incomes and jobs for local residents. It should also have beneficial spillover effects for the many private companies that will seek to develop derivative products and treatments that come from this research. We also should not overlook the benefits for patients that will come further down the road as this research helps us to develop better treatments for some of our most tragic medical conditions.
Gary London, The London Group Realty Advisors
But over time, and it depends on how you define "significant." We obviously are better positioned than most regions for a share of this bounty, with our already in-place scientific research and development capacity within the public and private sectors who will undoubtedly seek funding. However, the real economic upside is if companies or at least locally produced products emerge out of this effort. That is a long-term proposition without immediate economic benefit, except reinforcing our region's already stellar reputation as a scientific and technology cluster.
Norm Miller, University of San Diego
UCSD not only has the Salk Institute but also the Joint INC-IEM Center for Advanced Neurological Engineering. However, there are many other top-ranked neurological centers in the U.S. that are also going to be receiving funding. So I would not expect a significant economic impact, just a modest one. This is exactly the kind of high-skilled work which has a large multiplier on any economy. What would be really exciting for our economy is if they could re-wire our mayor's brain to convert it from adversarial and manipulative to cooperative and collegial. But that might be hoping for too much?
Lynn Reaser, Point Loma Nazarene University
San Diego already possesses some of the leading neuroscientists and institutions that are likely to be driving forces behind this undertaking and could develop it into a major cluster for the region. The Salk Institute and Qualcomm, for example, will be pivotal players in a public-private partnership. Although tangible benefits could take many years to achieve, the ultimate benefits in finding cures for problems ranging from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease to autism and schizophrenia could be enormous. This effort should also be pursued in collaboration with the other regional research efforts in brain chemistry, physiology, and pharmacology.
Dan Seiver, Reilly Financial Advisors
The economic payoff will be small and spread over many years. BRAIN would be worth investing government dollars in even if San Diego got no direct benefits. Basic research is a "public" good: the private sector will never produce the socially optimal amount on its own. So we subsidize basic research, and the brain is the final frontier. Bold projects galvanize the scientific/engineering community, where budgets have been too tight. My only concern is that the goal is much less clear than for a moon landing or genome map. Recording 1 million neurons (out of 100 billion) is still small beer.

The Hits and Misses of the 2014 Chicago Auto Show
Chicago isn't the biggest on the international auto show circuit, but nevertheless, the Windy City had a few gems to offer at this year's show. Though Chicago had its fair share of relevant debuts, there were also a number of duds. Below are our editors' hits and misses from the Chicago show floor.
Volvo V60 and S60 Polestar
I'm convinced that the Volvo V60 Polestar is the best thing to come out of Sweden since New York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist. It just ticks all the right boxes -- it's sleek, it's stylish, and it's distinctly Volvo. No other automaker could've pulled off the V60 Polestar, and that's just what Volvo needs as it struggles in the U.S. If it drives as good as it looks (and by all accounts, it should), then I think Volvo's got a real hit on its hands. -- Christian Seabaugh
This is what Volvo has needed: A burst of speed, power, and some turbocharging to its anemic lineup. The V60 and S60 Polestar duo -- a wagon and sedan, respectively -- created quite the buzz in Chicago and for good reason: They are sharply dressed, with crisp exterior lines, and loaded up with lots of premium features. The wagon is beautiful. When you sit behind the wheel, you can see yourself driving fast in this car. That hasn't happened to me in a Volvo in a long time. -- Scott Burgess
Toyota has been trying really hard to be relevant to younger buyers lately, and I think models like the TRD Pro Tacoma, Tundra, and 4Runner are just what it needed. The three off-roaders look sharp out of the box, and they essentially come with all of the modifications that buyers were likely to do themselves anyway. While I do wish Toyota took the TRD Pro trucks a bit further in the powertrain department, I have a feeling that if they sell well, the next batch of TRD Pro Trucks will sport the performance upgrades enthusiasts really want. -- Christian Seabaugh
Nissan Frontier Diesel Runner Powered by Cummins
Ok, the name is silly, but this truck could be the real deal for all of those potential owners clamoring for a real small pickup. Powered by a 2.8-liter four-cylinder diesel engine, this concept vehicle is sharply outfitted, creates nearly 200 hp and more than 350 lb-ft of torque. Nissan hasn't said it will actually build it, but I hope it does. -- Scott Burgess
Taking the Volkswagen Beetle racing in the Red Bull Global Rallycross series is a really ballsy move for VW, but I think it'll pay off. Think about it: the current field is filled with two-box hatchbacks like the Ford Fiesta and the Subaru WRX STI -- the Beetle will immediately stand out in that crowd, and likely give the series a breath of fresh air. Racing in Global Rallycross could also give the current-generation Beetle more credibility among male buyers, especially if the Bug wins. With Scott Speed and former GRC champion Tanner Foust behind the wheel -- not to mention VW's manufacturers' championship in the World Rally Championship in the Polo -- I think the brand has a serious shot at the crown. -- Christian Seabaugh
The 2015 Subaru Legacy is the most generic looking car in the history of ever. I'm offended by how inoffensive it is. There's just nothing visually significant about it. Subaru missed a real chance at revitalizing its midsize sedan sales by revolutionizing the Legacy. It's a shame, that's the best that Subaru -- hot off its most successful sales year ever -- could come up with. -- Christian Seabaugh
Yawn. This car lacks all of the excitement that the concept version offered. It's the safe-bet vehicle that lacks imagination or any challenges for its performance. When the new WRX arrived, there was hope for the Legacy. Those hopes were dashed. -- Scott Burgess
Does anyone really want a Chevrolet-badged Nissan NV200? I know that GM's probably eager to get into the emerging compact van market, but I can't help but think that it'd have been better off importing one of its European vans to the 'States like Ford did. -- Christian Seabaugh
Take a Nissan Versa Note and add the letters SR to it and you're still stuck with a Versa Note. It's gussied up for sure, but at the end of the day, if you're really going to spend a few more dollars on a car, buy something other than a Versa Note, you'll be happy you did. -- Scott Burgess

I'll take the goofy jogger any day
November 15, 2012 § 36 Comments
I don't believe in heroes. I don't believe in gods. I don't believe in heavens or hells. I don't believe in things that transcend nature. I don't believe in miracles. I don't believe in anything that can't pass the Missouri motto simply because I live in a continual show-me state.
These are just a few of the casualties of the hard boiled atheism, devout skepticism, and jaundiced slant of my world view. It's a view that is basted with cynicism, flavored with sarcasm, and lightly sauteed with reflexive disbelief. If I don't think you're lying, I can't possibly believe anything you say.
The unbearable heaviness of miracles and the heroes who work them
Heroes are so unremarkable, precisely because they're so heroic. What else can Superman do, but save the bus from plunging into the turbid waters below? As my favorite blog and Facebook troll, Mr. Troll.I.Am Stone would say, "Yawn."
For me, the levers that work my mind into a bleeding froth are the ordinary people with whom I daily or casually connect through cycling. Guys like Keith Dodson who, in case you couldn't guess, is a wanker. I know he's special to his family. His mother likely thought he was extra special, perhaps the specialest little boy ever born.
To the rest of us, though, he's just another Long Beach freddie, a planet who revolves around the sun that is Martin Howard, a flailer who pounds the pedals 'til he blows, then laughs at the ridiculous fun of it all, then washes the whole thing down with pizza and beer.
If you can't enjoy a few pedal strokes and a few laughs with Keith, there is something profoundly fucked up with your wiring. He's as regular as they come, exceptional in his regularity.
How ordinary? He jogs, for Dog's sake
Yesterday, as Keith jogged down the jogging path for joggers on the San Gabriel River jogging path, right there in the heavy element broth before the toxic river meets the poisoned waters of the Port of Long Beach, he heard a loud noise and watched in disbelief as a pickup burst through a chain link fence and slid off into the river.
The driver began trying frantically to escape through the rear sliding glass window, but his shoulders were too wide. The power windows had shorted, and he was trapped inside.
Keith then disproved the theory of evolution and laid waste to the notion that only the smart ones survive. He grabbed a big rock, sprunted fifty yards to the sinking truck, and did the unthinkable without thinking, ran the wrong way down the one-way street of survival of the fittest: He dove in.
The driver tried to kick out the window, but couldn't. Keith tried to bust the window, now underwater, but couldn't. After two more futile attempts, he finally smashed through the window…with his fist.
Where heroes fear to tread
However ordinary and plain and pedestrian and flailing Keith may be as a Long Beach freddie, he's an exceptional man in the real world. He's profoundly loved and depended upon by his family. He's respected by his peers. He's a giant among men in the non-lycra world of family, work, and friends, which is to say the only world that matters.
This was a problem, because the water was about to claim him, and he was getting ready to die, and that was going to be a loss for the people who loved him, who depended on him, who respected him, and who rode with him. He was getting ready to die because he had succeeded too well. The window had smashed open, and the inrushing water had sucked him partially into the cab.
"This is it," he thought. "I'm getting ready to drown in some dude's underwater pickup truck."
Or not.
With a strength that Hercules would have easily mustered, but an ordinary wanker wouldn't even know where to start looking for, Keith thrust himself against the onrushing water and patiently waited for three or four seconds while the water pressure equalized. You know, those quick three or four seconds underwater when you're drowning and a drowning man is clutching you in a death grip and the truck you're tangled up with is dragging you to the riverbed and out to sea. Those three or four seconds. The ones that prove relativity with more power and eloquence than any Einsteinian formula ever will. The ones that last about ten billion years each.
Impossibly for a mortal, Keith then wrestled the other drowning man out of the cab, and as lifeguards will tell you, this is where the amateur rescuer always becomes the second drowning victim of the day.
But not today.
Breaching the surface, a second ordinary, suit-clad office worker who had watched the whole thing on his first day at work in the Wells-Fargo bank building came plunging into the water, slacks and dress shirt and shiny banker's shoes and all.
He and Keith got the driver out alive. Then they got themselves out alive. And after the cops and ambulances and news media came and did their thing, they went back to work.
They went back to work like the ordinary, pedestrian, unexceptional men they never were, and immediately became again.
§ 36 Responses to I'll take the goofy jogger any day
No one else any where is going to write this up as good as you just did.
Seth, I read everything you write with relish and delight. You are a writer's writer, for sure. Thanks for making the ordinary (well, in this case, exceptional) extraordinary.
I always tell people that jogging is bad for them…thanks for confirming it! On a serious note that driver sure picked the right time & place to crash…
Well written as always & do me a favor, next time you see your buddy buy him a pizza & some beer & send me the bill.
Wow. Just wow.
how do you make me fucking tear up with a few paragraphs…when can i meet this Keith guy…fantastic…incredible…that 3-4 seconds is where it's at…
Seth, you're like a purpetual Santa, bring a bit of joy to the morning every day, great post and thouroghly enjoyable to read.
Next ride I am going to ask you about your athiesm, either all of this stuff was created by a higher power a view that is a leap of faith, or it all came about by accident from nothing, a much larger and more difficult leap of faith in my mind to justify. Your a smart and talented guy and I would love to know your thoughts on the topic. It should get us through 20 miles of riding or so!
Thanks for continuing to create a great cycling community in Southern California.
Have a good day,
At the risk of being flagged for piling on, let me also say your blog has been one of my daily haunts for months now. Not sure how i stumbled onto it, living a few thousand miles away. But what stands out to me now is that as 'local' as it may be intended the characters and stories, particular todays, a such as this one and the characters you write about are not.
My fat fingers and the iPhone keypad have never been a good match.
Anyway, love the blog. It's 'local' and I'm not ,but the characters and stories do well across the country.
I second Troutdreams, he/she said it for me.
I can't tell if you are getting better or if it is just that I am reading your stuff later at night after the beer and tequila have kicked in. Whatever the case, there is some kind of ass kickin' going on here, of some kind.
I'm not going to turn all of my readers on to your site, but I do have a select few I will be sending over. The Wankers. I may lose 'em…but you deserve them.
Don't slow down.
Oh no, it's not the beer and tequila. (It's usually bourbon for me, anyway, but at 6:30 am PDT that's even too early for me.) TJ sent me over from the Trailer Park with a note that you were a baller with a word processor. He's right.
Evidently a wanker with a bike but a baller with a typewriter.
I've signed on for more musings and look forward to the carnage.
Keep it up!
Brian in VA
I was going to say "cool story bro" but everyone already said that. Though you captured the remarkable in the ordinary quite remarkably 😉
Hiya Seth – Good Old Tim Joe sent me your way. He is quite the wanker himself. Do not deny if you ever have the opportunity to ride with him. Me? I'm a Christ-follower wanker who does not like many Christians and believes the church does a wonderful job of hurting folks. It would be good to share life over a beer sometime. Peace.
Who says you don't find bodys when your out on the road bike? I found a missing lady last December in a ditch and still have trouble when I ride by that spot. Thanks for sharing such a wonderful story of humanity.

A player noted that even though he has played every quiz this quarter, his quiz percentage is displaying as 90.1%, instead of 100%.
This is caused by the voiding of answers for the 14 July quiz.
I should remove the quiz entirely and that will clean up the % computation, but that turns out to take a bit more refactoring than I'd expected. I hope to have this fixed next week.
In the meantime, rest assured that the impact of this discrepancy applies to all players equally and does not affect your score or rankings.

The Infiniti I30 is a midsize car manufactured by Nissan Motors and sold under the Infiniti brand in the U.S. automobile market. The car debuted in North America in 1995 as an import, but had been sold as the Nissan Cefiro in the Japanese market since 1988.
The I30 launched in the United States as a replacement for the J30 rear-drive luxury sedan that the brand produced from 1992 to 1997. The Cefiro actually debuted in 1988, with a rear-drive similar to that of the performance-centric Nissan Skyline and Nissan Laurel. However, the subsequent models of the car, the A32 and A33, dropped this sports car characteristic and switched to conventional front-wheel drive. These two series models sold as the Infiniti I30 and later as the I35 in the North American market.
The Infiniti I30 was the top seller under the luxury brand. It represents the first rebadged Nissan model to sell under the Infiniti brand, and it sold as an entry-level model until the G20 entered the North American market in 1999. The Infiniti I30 led its class for as long as sold. The first generation gained praise as a great entry-level luxury sedan, and the second generation Infiniti I30 further refined this model.
The 2001 model year marks the last for the Infiniti I30 models. All models in this year feature a 3.0-liter V-6 engine under the hood that delivers 227 hp and 217 lb-ft of torque. The engine couples with an electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission.
The previous generation Infiniti I30 models use the same displacement engine, but with a power of 190 hp and a torque of 205 lb-ft. The significant increase in performance in the 2001 Infiniti I30 results from a larger intake chamber, equal-length exhaust pipes, the addition of the Nissan Variable Induction System (NVIS) and a variable capacity muffler that reduces exhaust system backpressure at 2000 rpm and above. All these improvements help refine the performance of an already refined V-6 engine that uses micro-finished cam lobes and crank journals, digital knock control, molybdenum coated pistons, a cross-flow coolant system, and six coils.
The Infiniti I30 also has a relocated control module for the engine that improves the car's reliability. The radiator is thicker, and cooling fans improve on this model, which helps cool down the engine and lower vibration levels, respectively.
The 2001 Infiniti I30 uses the same multi-link beam suspension, which offers great handling and the ability to execute sharper and more aggressive cornering. The stability of the Infiniti I30 boosts even more with the presence of thick stabilizer bars in the front and rear. The rack-and-pinion steering is sensitive to engine speed, which in turn makes the car easier to drive and handle.
The Infiniti I30 launched in 1995 for the 1996 model year. The car was manufactured and imported from Nissan's assembly plant in Oppama, Japan. Production began in the plant on June 27, 1995. A 3.0-liter VQ30DE V-6 engine sits under the hood of the car. The Maxima uses this same engine.
Over the years, the Infiniti I30 received several revisions, with the first significant one being the addition of standard front side airbags in 1998. The exterior also flaunted revised headlights and taillights the same year. The touring model of the Infiniti I30 received five-spoke alloy wheels during this period. Most cars sold until 1998 came equipped with a four-speed automatic gearbox. However, a small percentage of the models have five-speed manual transmission gearbox and Viscous Limited Slip Differential (VLSD). By the time the first generation of the Infiniti I30 ended, a hands-free car phone accessible from the dash came as an optional feature.
The Nissan A33 series debuted in December 1998, in Japan. However, the A33 series was sold as an updated Infiniti I30 in the U.S. market for the 2000 model year. These models no longer offer the manual transmission option. The car has a more powerful engine than the Nissan Maxima because of the addition of the Variable Capacity Muffler. The body styling also shows changes, as well as the dashboard design, gauge cluster design, and foot-pedal emergency brake level. The Infiniti I30 also features a rear sunshade that the Nissan Maxima lacks. These differences address complaints about the striking similarities between both car models.
2001 Infiniti I30
Midsize, Sedan
The 2001 Infiniti I30 represents the second year of a new generation for this luxury sedan.
2000 Infiniti I30
The 2000 Infiniti I30 attracted a good chunk of the near-luxury automotive market.
1999 Infiniti I30
The 1999 Infiniti I30 is inspired by and based on the Nissan Maxima, a sporty car offered by Nissan, Infiniti's parent company.
1998 Infiniti I30
The 1998 Infiniti I30 provides a near-luxury vehicle based on the same design as the Nissan Maxima.
1997 Infiniti I30
The 1997 Infiniti I30 is a luxury vehicle based on the same design as the Nissan Maxima.
1996 Infiniti I30
Bringing together luxury and performance, the 1996 Infiniti I30 is a midsize sedan that comes at a mid-range price for a luxury vehicle.

I can see if you guys wouldn't want to because of losing years of work, but this scenario would not be able to occur again, at least not on copyright grounds.
And, technically speaking, it would be quite far from being a pokemon ripoff because of how radically different this concept would work in minecraft with how different the mechanics work in the game. In fact, you would be able to change almost every mechanic to be completely different and original. Plus, the mod could actually be a lot more fun this way than it ever was before because of said originality.

Cardillo finishes 19th in NCAA fencing championship
He's also thinking about trying for the big one -- the US Olympic team
March 26, 2012: Brandeis University sophomore Julian Cardillo finished in 19th place out of 24 foil fencers at the NCAA National Collegiate Fencing Championships. Cardillo, who placed 17th at the 2011 NCAA championships, won seven of his 23 bouts, two fewer than a year ago. His best win came in the first round of action, when he defeated Reggie Bentley of Notre Dame University, 5-2. Bentley went on to finish in fifth place. He also defeated Yale's Shiv Kachru, who went on to finish in seventh place, by a 5-3 margin. Cardillo's other victories came against Barrett Weiss of Brown (5-2); Kevin Nadeau of North Carolina (5-1); Philip Choy of Air Force (5-2); Marcus Howard of Princeton (5-0) and Stuart Holmes of Sacred Heart (5-1). Overall, four of Cardillo's wins came on his first day of competition and two on his second day. With Cardillo's seven points, Brandeis finished 23rd out of 25 schools at the NCAA Fencing championships. They were third out of four Division III schools, behind Vassar (12 pts.) and NYU (11 pts.) and ahead of MIT (5 pts.). Host Ohio State won the championship with 182 points, 21 better than Princeton and 22 over Notre Dame.
For the second year in a row, Julian Cardillo '14 will represent the Brandeis Judges at the NCAA National Collegiate Fencing championships, which will be held at at the Ohio State University this weekend. After finishing 11th in the foil at the Northeast Regional at Boston College March 11, Cardillo earned an at-large berth to the nationals, where he will look to improve upon his 17th-place finish last year. His goal is to have a more consistent performance than in his rookie season, when he went 8-6 on the first day of action, but won just one more match on Day Two. Cardillo says he'll try to learn from last years' experience, but he won't let it spoil the achievement of making it to Columbus to compete with the best of the best in the collegiate fencing world.
Fencing is one of the rare NCAA sports that does not differentiate between Division I, II and III – along with skiing, rifle and men's gymnastics. Out of 144 fencers selected to the championships, Cardillo will be one of only four competitors representing a Division III school, although he doesn't see it that way.
"To me, Brandeis isn't a Division III school. I'm a fencer, and we fence against Division I teams all the time," Cardillo explains. "One of the things I look forward to every year is seeing people who say, 'Wow, Brandeis fencing beat [North Carolina] or BC. But a lot of people I fence against can be friends or other old-time opponents, so it doesn't faze me if they are 'Division I'"
Cardillo got started in fencing when he was around five or six, he says. His brother Kristian, a 2006 Brandeis graduate who also competed for the Judges, took up the sport in high school in a search to focus his energies. As Kristian got more competitive, so did his little brother, who always seemed to be hanging around. Julian eventually followed in his footsteps, both in taking up the foil and eventually in attending Brandeis.
Julian cites two other factors in addition to his brother that kept him close to his Medford, Mass., home.
First, he remembers the fantastic teams that Brandeis fielded in the early 2000s, some of which reached the top 10 in the national fencing polls. Coach Bill Shipman, who is now in his 31st year coaching the Judges, was part of that. "I was always seeing coach Shipman at events," Cardillo remembers. "I was going somewhere every other month for fencing, and coach would always be there recruiting. So there was this friendliness, he knew my brother and my family, and that stuck with me."
The third factor that brought Cardillo to the Judges was the quality of the academics. He acknowledges that Brandeis was the best school that he got into, but he also specifically remembers being attracted to radio ads boasting about the quality of the journalism program. With Pulitzer Prize-winner Eileen McNamara and Maura Jane Farrelly of National Public Radio and Voice of America radio host on staff, as Cardillo puts it, "as an aspiring journalist, I knew that Brandeis was a school to look out for."
Cardillo has already put those journalistic aspirations to work, starting SNEnet.com, an on-line periodical of sports in the New England region. He also hopes to study abroad in his parents' native Italy next year while exploring the possibility of an internship with the Boston Globe to cover Italian soccer, working with one of his mentors, the Globe's Frank dell'Appa.
Cardillo is also considering following in the footsteps of another well-known Brandeis fencer, Tim Morehouse '00, and trying to qualify for the Olympics. While he cites Morehouse's influence as a role model as someone who's taken a similar path, Cardillo says the Olympic impetus has always been with him. He's put in so much effort into the sport in his life, he says, that it just makes sense to try to see that effort through to its logical end. Cardillo knows that being part of the U.S. Olympic Team requires a major commitment, one that can take up a huge amount of time, money and effort. But he's confident in his abilities. "I think if I were to make it my full-time goal, if I dropped anything else and just pursued it, I feel like I'd have a chance to make it."

An update from Candy Crespo, assistant director of the Cary M. Maguire Center for Ethics and Public Responsibility and an SMU alumna:
It's morning in Washington, D.C. I take a deep breath in through my nose, pause, and exhale. "Do you smell that?" I say to one of our students. There's something different about the air here. They smile in agreement. Anyone near our group, especially fellow metro travelers, must be able to sense the excitement and anxiousness. The students' energy levels are soaring and their eyes are bright with anticipation.
This will be my third Hilltop on the Hill trip, and each time is more exciting and meaningful than the last. I went on the trip as an undergraduate when I wanted to find out what kind of communications jobs and career routes were out there. The next year, as a senior, I went as Dr. Rita Kirk's teaching assistant so that I could experience the city one more time and make up my mind as to whether or not I was really going to make the move across the country. That trip sealed the deal. I caught the bug. I couldn't see myself anywhere else after graduation, and so I went.
A year or two later when I was working in D.C. at the Glover Park Group, I hosted the Hilltop on the Hill group at my place of work, and also got to talk with students at the alumni roundtables and mixers. I'm still in touch with many of those students today, like my dear friend Roza. Now, I'm on the trip once again, but this time as one of their group leaders. I think that means I've officially come full circle.
This year, the schedule is stacked. This select group of eight communications students will be meeting SMU alumni and friends all over the city from the public and private sectors. We'll go to CNN, Edelman, ExxonMobil, Glover Park Group, Dept of Health and Human Services, 21st Century Group, Senator John Cornyn's office and the Center for Public Integrity. Did I mention the alumni mixers? This is not a trip for the faint of heart. This is a fast-paced, head-snapping, four-day, behind-the-scenes view of one of the greatest and most influential cities in the world. I can't wait to see which of our students will catch "the bug" and decide that they, too, will go to work in Washington and that absolutely nothing else will do.

The PBS "Frontline" documentary "The Retirement Gamble" debuted on Tuesday night, and it made for a sobering introduction to the American savings crisis. If you've got 53 minutes to spare, and you're the kind of person who's galvanized by bad news, you can watch the entire report online at this link. I recommend it as a concise introduction to the biggest shift in the retirement landscape in our lifetimes – the migration from a corporate pension model to a self-funded model that depends on personal savings and investments.
Of course, the show may not improve your mood, as these viewer reactions should signal.
@frontline I'm thinking of opening a vein! I lost so much $ & there's no way for me to start over now. "The Retirement Gamble.,."
— Cherteapet (@Cherteapet) April 24, 2013
This episode of @frontline is painful to watch. I'm just going to plan to work as long as I can. I don't see any other options. #retirement
— Alexandria Burris (@AllyBurris) April 24, 2013
The second half of the program focuses on the problem of high fees and hidden expenses in retirement plans, and this, as you might expect, has ruffled some feathers in the financial-services community. In an interview with MarketWatch's Robert Powell this week, Stuart Ritter, a senior financial planner at T. Rowe Price, suggested that its focus on 401(k) fees being excessive was missing the forest for the trees. (You can watch their interview here.)
"I think what's even more important than that issue is how much people are saving," Ritter told Powell. "The biggest driver of your ability to have enough money to maintain your lifestyle in retirement is how much you save. It's totally within your control. You know exactly how much it is. And people should be focusing on that…The one [question] I'm hoping they are starting with is, 'Am I saving that 15%?' Because that's the biggest thing within your control."
When asked whether self-inflicted asset allocation and investment mistakes cost 401(k) plan participants more than 401(k) fees, Ritter had this to say: "There are a lot of things that affect what the results are. I'm going to keep coming back to that one thing: Not enough people are saving enough. Saving 3% for retirement is like going to the gym for six minutes. We can have conversations about cardio vs. weight bearing and which way I do my bicep curls but until I'm in the gym for a long enough period of time, it's premature to talk about those things. So get the savings rate to 15%."
As Powell notes: "To be sure, Americans saving 15% per year will put more fees in the pockets of mutual funds firms. But it will also put more money in American nest eggs. And that, regardless of how much money Wall Street skims off our nest eggs, is a good thing, yes?"

VINCE works for me - yes VINCE39 messages in this subject.
|I am writing this for my nephew. His ulcers were so bad that he was hospitalized for over a week. His hospital stay was just so that he could get nutrients because he left with no diagnosis. NOTHING!
So, to make a long story short, he has been using VINCE. It is hard to find. I have been finding it in privately owned pharmacies. The old neighborhood pharamcies in Philadelphia. Ask an older pharamists - he will know what it is. It comes in a powder form and you have to mix it and it is over the counter.
Use as directed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|Michael 25 August 05
|What does Vince do? How does this powder work. Is it a treatment or a pain reliever?
Please help me understand.
|Naneki 26 August 05
|Vince is a powder that you mix with water and gargle with it. You can not swallow it. I am not sure how it actually works but he has said that it has helped keep the ulcers from coming back. I read the label briefly before I gave it to my nephew and I think it had something to do with Oxygen. Vince has been around for years. It wasnt until we saw an old cousin who reminded us of it.
You should try it. It is an over the counter product. It comes in a white plastic container. Like I said, we had trouble finding it in the major drug stores. I found it in a little mom and pop store in my neighborhood and then my brother in law found it in a mom and pop pharamacy in his area.
I will ask my nephew to give me information from the back of the bottle. His computer is down and he ask me to let the message board know about VINCE.
I fell horrible for all of you who suffer from this. I call it MUD (mouth ulcer disease)
|Aunt Claire 26 August 05
|I did a Google on Vince and found something called Lactona Vince Gum and Mouth Care Powder, made by Lactona Corporation of Warminster, Pennsylvania, USA.
|TomF 26 August 05
|If anyone has some to hand, perhaps you can let us know what the ingredients are, please.
|Dom Walton 28 August 05
|An Internet site
The active ingredients are sodium alum, calcium carbonate and sodium perborate monohydrate. The inactive or formulating ingredients are sodium carbonate, magnesium trisilicate, tricalcium phosphate, sodium saccharin, flavor and D&C Red No. 28.
(D&C stands for The Society of Dyers and Colourists which also has an Internet site!).
|TomF 28 August 05
|Just learned that Bocasan (British market name) and Amosan (U.S. market name) are oral rinse preparations that are similar to Vince. Both the sans contain sodium perborate monohydrate and sodium tartrate. I think they are made by Oral-B Laboratories.
|TomF 28 August 05
|Thanks TomF, quality research as always... I am regularly asked if I can get Bocasan and/or Amosan (which I believe are now only sold in Canada and Spain). Ill take a closer look at Vince.
|Dom Walton 28 August 05
|Vince is a great old product; I am 68 years old. I can remember my mother having us swish with it whenever we had a sore in our mouth. This last time I bought it was about five years ago. I can't find it at any of the major drug stores, i.e. CVS, Rite-Aid, or Walgreens. Where can I get it?
|Kathleen Chapin 29 July 10
|Look online. It is sold in many places online. Cannot find it in drug stores. Have even asked if they can order it. They can't. It is expensive. Be sure to check prices. Cheapest I have found so far is $12.44 at My OTC store.
|Sharon 17 May 11
|VINCE GUMS AND MOUTH is made by Lee Pharmaceutical in California. They have their own web site - http://www.leepharmaceuticals.com/ - where you can purchase it.
I suggest that you Google it to compare prices.
Since Oral-B discontinued AMOSAN (nobody can tell us why), I started using VINCE.
It has the same active ingredients and keeps your teeth and gums healthy by providing oxygen to you mouth.
Oxygen kills germs and bacteria while stimulating blood circulation.
VINCE is an oral antiseptic rinse used to fight:
Canker Sores
Denture irritation
Tooth extraction
Other minors mouth irritations.
It's does'nt replace regular tooth brushing but completes oral hygiene.
I hope Oral-B will be back soon with AMOSAN, because VINCE is a lot more expensive as AMOSAN is now a hard to find product.
For a maximum benefit, use it like ROGAINE: every day, twice a day.
|William (Bill) Cadbury 2 January 12
Amosan-Bocasan now have another substitute: BIKOSAN
It's the same original formula than Amosan/Bocasan
Though the price is 7.55 euros, this product is made in The Netherlands !
Shipping to the US is possible but very expensive.
It's cheaper to purchase VINC in 4oz format.
|William (Bill) Cadbury 6 January 12
|Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada has the Amosan product in the Life Brand. I bought it last week and it is the exact same in flavour and active ingredients. Ya!
|Finally its back! 6 May 12
|I just bought Vince from drugstore.com.
|Clarissa 6 June 12
|I love Vince Powder! My Mother gave it to us when we had a sore in our mouth and it always worked very quickly! I am trying to find it for my husband tonight because he has a very bad sore in his tongue! I have not seen it for years and hope I can find it! He is miserable..
Thank you for all the great info on this web page! It has been very helpful!
|Catherine Machado 30 March 14
|i have been searching for vince mouth rince also , the last bottle i found was from 2004 and have some left that i still use . there is another product called gly oxide that is very good for oral inflammation i worked at a nursing home and we used gly oxide also for the residents. you put a drop on the ulcer three times daily clears any mouth ulcer in a matter of days.
|maureen 29 August 14
|Where can i find vince
|loutrell kirkland 14 September 14
|I've found this board after searching online when learning that VINCE has been discontinued. Good god, remaining bottles are being sold for $100! It looks as if Lee Pharmaceuticals may have gone out of business as their website isn't working... I'm upset ... I've used the product for 30 years and watched as the price soared and distribution fell apart after Lactona sold it to Lee. But I kept buying it...I've ordered it from Dental Depot online most recently... now it's gone. I've been reading up on Amosan and its Canadian descendant... I guess I'll try the Colgate Peroxyl rinse but I have doubts. It's amazing to see a good, effective remedy disappear. Anyone have any other suggestions or experiences?
|Arthur 23 September 14
|Following up - for what it's worth, Lee Pharmaceuticals is out of business and they sold their assets to another company; Vince supposedly ended up with Monticello Drug. Their phone system doesn't seem to work and their website shows it as out of stock but try http://www.monticellodrug.com/products/vince/ if you are seeking it like I am, and let's hope!
|Arthur 23 September 14
|I can't find Vince, it's the best I have used for sore gum's.
|Pearl 14 October 14
|I do have a bottle here & love it too. Someone wanted to know the Vince ingredients so here goes~
Sodium Alum,Calcium Carbonate, Sodium Perborate Monohydrate, Sodium Carbonate, Magnesium Trisillicate, Tricalcium Phosphate, Sodium Saccharin, Flavor, D&CRed#28.
Please let us all know if anyone finds a replacement & where we can purchase it . Thanks
|julie 13 February 15
|I have a container with the ingredients listed; sodium alum,calcium carbonate, sodium perborate monohydrate, sodium carbonate, magnesium trisillicate, tricalcium phosphate, sodium saccharin, flavor, D&C Red No.28 --that's it I hope we find it!
|Audrey M. 14 March 15
|Im sorry I cant help with finding VINCE but I just finished using my first tube of NEEM THERAPEUTIC TOOTHPASTE. It really helps with the sore gum situation.
|Julie 26 April 15
|Vince is sold on Ebay and Amazon.................it's the best and i won't settle for anything else. my pharmacy stopped selling it , said it was to expensive to stock, those of us who know its value would have paid what they asked of us, my mouth has been sore for 2 weeks, i just ordered from Ebay and i got the best value with the 4oz bottle.
|donna ellis 20 September 15
|I also love Vince, but I just discovered something really great - I have suffered from chronic apthous ulcers ever since I can remember and there is basically never a time that I dont' have at least one. I always get them on an injury, too, like if I bite my cheek., or if I use a new brand of toothpaste , or for a million other reasons. I have used everything you can think of. Anyways. I tried this mouthwash called "smart mouth" which doesn't claim anything about mouth ulcers. But I swear to you, within about 4 hours the ulcers were healing up. Used daily, they don't come back. Only thing I have ever found that prevents them.
|Amy A. 22 November 15
|I am also looking for Vince. I have used it for over 50 years but everywhere I look I am told they no longer have it -- told me to go online but that hasn't helped. The last I purchased was in Yuma, AZ and it cost for 4 oz. $16.33 -- at the time I thought that was high but my word - Amazon did have it for $99
that's outrageous. What has happened. Looks to me if so many are wanting it that one of the companies would have it again -- but I hope at a more reasonable price. It's the only think I have ever found to clear up any problems in my mouth.
|AJ 10 January 16
|i also have not found a better product than Vince.
relying on it for 50 plus years.
we need to have someone making it again.
|Michael 19 January 16
|If you live anywhere near Snellville GA, the Snell's pharmacy always carries it for about $16. They order it and have it the next day if it's not on their shelf when I go in.
|Marcy 5 May 16
|I own Snell's Pharmacy. The product has been discontinued by the manufacturer. We are no longer able to get it.
|Snell's Pharmacy 26 June 16
|I am also looking for Vince. My family has been using it for eighty years. How can we go about having another pharmaceutical company make it?
|Marjorie 15 August 16
|There should be a law suit against Amazon.com and E bay for trying to charge 200.00 for 4 oz bottle when in fact the normal price was less than 10.00. Talk about price gouging this is it. The must have bought up all bottle that was remaining when Lee Pharmaceuticals discontinued it and out of business. E bay even had a price of 500.00.
|Jackie 22 August 16
|I have a bottle of the Vince gum and mouth care 4 ounce bottle powder it does not have an expiration stamp on the bottle. Does it expire?
|J. Lawlor 9 January 17
|Fortunately my 30+ year old bottle of Lactona branded Vince is still over half full I never mix with water. Wet the tip of your finger, place it over the opening in the bottle. Place the pink powder now adhering to your fingertip directly on the ulcer or cut. This is an oxygenating dentifrice. It creates bacteria milling oxygen directly into the wound. Typically 2 or 3 applications are all that I require. Good luck on locating it, well worth the hunt!!!
|Bill Nolte 29 May 17
|I too have been using Vince and I just saw that a bottle cost 5,000.00!!! I have yet to find anything though that works as well as this product. I also saw on Amazon a price of 255.00.. If anyone knows where to get this product I would love to buy it! NOTHING works as well as this in relieving mouth sores!
|Leslie Lax 12 August 17
|I am also a 50+ year fan and would love to know where to find it or how to make it.
|Sinclair 15 September 17
|For anyone who has used Amosan, Bocasan, or Bikosan: are they powders like Vince?
|Patrick 8 February 18
|The reason Vince is so expensive (the bottles that are left) and hard to find, is because the manufacturer stopped making it. I spoke with them a few years ago about it. At that time they had no plans to resume manufacturing it.
|DebLynn 18 June 18
|I was given a tin of VINCE in the 80s as a gag by a college friend. She found it in a box of old stuff at her parents. It is 1/2 full and I oddly never looked up what it did. Does it expire?
|Vince Adams 21 October 18
|In case anyone here did not know (as I did not until today) VINCE IS BACK! Available from vinceoralrinse.com or on ebay - 25 bucks for 4 oz plus shipping....

Mission: Impossible Classic TV Show
Cult action adventure series in which a team of government agents known as IMF are dispatched to solve the more unusual crimes that place the country in national danger.
Mission: Impossible Fan Tributes6 Andrew Holland from Purley, Surrey, England: This has to be the best spy/ action adventure show of all time! The plots were so clver and intricate, even in its later seasons when the emphasis shifted away from foreign dictatorships to organised crime in the USA. It also boasts one of the best TV theme tunes ever written.
5 Jimmy Keary from Ireland: This is favourite show of all time - especially the first three seasons. I loved the theme music, the fusewire credits, the incidental music, the silent teamwork and the charades and cons. An unbeatable combination! So hard to pick out a favourite episode. Maybe 'The Execution' where a hired assassin (Luke Askew) is made believe he is on death row awaiting execution.
4 lynda Maine from Edinburgh scotland: I liked Mission Impossible. very much. I have not watched the Mission Impossible films. Because the films would not match the series. Long live Mission Impossible. I wish they would put the series back on the television again.
3 katou from quebec,canada: i just love that show! Barbara bain and Martin Landau were fantastic! My favorite is The exchange, when Cinnamon was caught on duty. Also the cabaret episode was great. They dont make shows like this anymore.
2 Ezy Rider from England: I love this show - the scriptwriting was excellent. My favourite was the one where they pretended a nuclear war had broken out by putting panoramic photos of an apocalypse around the periscope of a fallout shelter. And of course Barbara Bain and Martin Landau went onto Space:1999 as well.
1 The Worm from Cambridge UK: What a fantastic soundtrack. Used to love this when I was a kiddie. Can't say Tom Cruise has added anything to the franchise, but the up-dated tune kicks ass.
