Virgin Island Water
I am actually looking for two fragrances. One for when im at the ocean or on the ship deck. And one for when im dancing or at a fancy dinner. Im 16. Any reccomendations would be greatly apreciated. Thanks.
Virgin Island Water
Tommy Bahama Set Sail St Barts - ocean/deck
Tommy Bahama for Men - dinner
These would do any 16 year old wardrobe great. I know because my son sampled mine, and then went out and got his own.They can be had for less than $20 bucks each at any Marshalls or TJ Maxx.
LOOKING FOR DECANTS OF ANY O. Durbano, ANY Hilde Soliana, BOISE VANILLE, COLOGNE POUR LE SOIR, MUSC RAVEGEUR, AND ROSE 31 TO SWAP:.:wink
Creed Virgin Island Water in the morning/ocean deck. Aventus in the evening/dinner.
Guerlain Homme L'Eau in the morning/ocean deck. And L'Instant de Guerlain for evening/dinner.
For the day, Estee Lauder white linen. For the night, Caron Troiseme homme. Though both will work nicely for all circumstances. If the budget is larger and you have access, I'd recommend Sycomore by Chanel, again for both occasions.
Millesime Imperial
Yeah, I would have said something along the lines of VIW, too, but then saw he might not be able to afford it. The Set Sail suggestion would fit that pretty close for the cheap price. Not close enough for my tastes but that's just my preference.
Something like Dolce & Gabbana The One might be a good night time one. A little tropical fruity, a bit romantic, not too heavy, cheap enough for a young guy to get. Heck, he could make a few trips to sephora and get enough samples to last him the whole cruise without buying a bottle...hehe.

Current favorites_____Black Tourmaline_____Gucci Pour Homme II_____Memoir Man_____Tuscan Leather______Montale Aoud and Pine_____Sel Marin_____Invasion Barbare_____Tonka Imperial____Dior Homme Intense_____L'Humaniste____Santal 33_____Bois d'Argent_____Nio_____MFK Oud_____Lumiere Noire_____Bois d'Encens_____Cuir Ottoman
Plus 1 to creed Aventus,. That is royal island pineapple. Guerlain Homme L'eau is great as well. VIW is a great fragrance but WAY too feminine in my book. I would steer clear from that.

Another vote for Tommy Bahama. For night time and dinner, I'd recommend John Varvatos (original).
P.S. I actually went to Atlantis Bahamas a couple of months ago, and I only bought a couple of samples of D&G The One, which was enough for the whole week I was there.
i have been to the bahamas. at night you want to use Rose 31. in the daytime you want to use amouage - Ciel. It will be expensive, but well worth it. Everytime I wear Rose 31 it brings me back to the bahamas
Voyage d'Hermes
My special recommendation is for sure: EROLFA - as this cologne was, according to a CREED sales person, a gift for every TITANIC passenger on the luxury deck. In the end it didn't made a difference. But as long as the free breeze could distribute this perfectly maritime scent all over the ocean where the TITANIC floated, EROLFA lifted the wearer way over the nameless mass on the lower decks. This marvel is still in production, and I feel it deserves some push nowadays.
Don't worry about Your ship, though. EROLFA wouldn't have the power to dump it. Wear it with confidence. EROLFA fits the situation perfectly with its aquatic/oceanic smell, its relaxing ease will underline Your cruise.

+1 Erolfa
As a 16-ish year old I wore Essenza di Zegna summer edition by Ermenegildo Zegna. I'd recommend this for daytime only though as it is quite light, fresh and a cross between citrus/aquatic. Very affordable and not industrial smelling.
Evening Drinks: Frapin Caravelle Epicee
Dinner: Millesime Imperial
Daytime: Virgin Island Water
Dude, your answer is in your query! Go to the local Tommy Bahama store and get some samples and use them on the cruise.
Not enough?..........................go the Carribean/Lime/Bay Rum route! So many bay rums, try the Burt's Bees soap and scents.
Howabout the Royall Lime line?
bon voyage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored."
Ocean/Ship Deck
*Creed Virgin Island Water (no matter what anybody says man, if you can afford this, its absolutely the best option IMO for a cruise. Find a reputable dealer online with a decent price, and you might not have to sell your right arm for it.)
*Guerlain Homme L'Eau (this is also great...when you smell it you'll see how it just "fits the bill.")
*Tommy Bahama Set Sail St. Barts
*Creed Erolfa (again, if you can afford it. Still I feel like this may smell a little too salty/briny for you if you're into what most teens find as acceptable/wearable. Not really "old fashioned" at all, but may or may not be your thing. For what it's worth, one of the most enthusiastic compliments I've EVER gotten came from this frag. But your mileage may vary.)
*Agua de Loewe (dirt cheap online (approx $25 US) and one of my most complimented fragrances)
*Acqua Di Parma Blu Mediterraneo - Mirto di Panarea (still light, but slightly more "creamy" smelling...worth a try)
*Creed Aventus (one spray to your neck is really enough)
*Allure Homme Edition Blanche
*Antonio Banderas Seduction in Black (also dirt cheap, and can be found at CVS/Walgreens type stores for $20-30)
*Gucci Pour Homme II
*Creed Millesime Imperiale (probably the best smelling of the night options)
I'm going on a cruise in August, and will probably bring 2-3 of these along. For sure, VIW. Waiting to sample DSquared2's Ocean Wet Wood to see if that's something that would work. I consider myself young (just turned 25), and always try to find scents that are realistically wearable in my age group, aren't TOO common, but that most people would appreciate. Some ppl on this site kinda throw frag ideas around for youngsters that I consider "too bold" or scents that don't particular fit "the age group." Yes, wear whatever...blah blah. But I don't like smelling older than I am or like something that "isn't me" just for the sake of the fragrance being "rare."
All this to say that I tried to give you fragrance ideas that I think you and others around you will ACTUALLY appreciate, work for "cruise" usage, and whose smells you will associate with that cruise for the rest of your life. Check any of these on the directory, and I think you'll find that most people agree.
I smell better than you.
I can recommend Beach by Morabito and an inexpensive formal scent of Brooks Brothers New York.

(Reuters) - Managers of Yellowstone National Park bison said Monday they are considering changes to policies that have seen thousands of purebred buffalo from the nation's last wild herd bison killed since 2000 to stem transmission of a disease to cattle.
Yellowstone bison have been at the center of a bitter debate over a management plan crafted 15 years ago that seeks to keep the population at 3,000 and permits killing of many buffalo that migrate from the park to bordering Montana for winter forage.

Get Good: Super Street Fighter IV in 7 steps
While Top Tier Tactics has previously addressed the requisite skills for tournament play and etiquette for Street Fighter, there wasn't enough attention paid to the fundamentals that will prevent you from outright losing every match you play. This article explains how to become a mediocre player in as few steps as possible. While this piece is intended for novices, fisticuffs experts should probably consult the more advanced Street Fighter Tournament Guide for pro-level tips.
If there's one complaint regarding fighting games, it's "
Namco Capcom, please stop the franchise DLC-milking." If there's a second complaint about the genre, it's that for the uninitiated (read: you haven't spent the last decade practicing), fighting games are simply too complex, obtuse, and fast-paced for novices to pick up and learn. It's understandable: how are you supposed to know what to do when you've been killed before you even realized you were supposed to block?
Street Fighter IV and Super Street Fighter IV are, without doubt, among the easiest of fighting games to get into. While they share the ridiculous skill ceilings of many of their contemporaries and predecessors, the slower pace and minimalist style means bludgeoning Japanese schoolgirls and Amazonian circus freaks has never been easier. There aren't any flashy HUD elements or air-roll wavedash roman cancels, and most characters fall into one of a few basic categories.
With that in mind, Top Tier Tactics presents the fastest way to Get Good at Super Street Fighter 4 in just 7 easy steps.
#1: Rock, paper, throw… jump?
Street Fighter 4, like most games in the series, is ultimately an elaborate game of rock, paper, scissors. You know all those punches and kicks you can throw out? Consider them scissors. A block (rhymes with rock!) beats attacks by canceling out (most of) their damage and, in some cases, leaving you at a strategic advantage. Throws are the paper that suffocate block rocks, and are their natural counter. While many new players find constant blocking cheap, a static defense is demolished with a throw. While some players scorn throws, they can be outranged by most attacks, or just by jumping.
While there are many exceptions, the basic thing you want to keep in mind is that if your opponent is trying to attack, you should be blocking. If they're blocking, you should throw, and you want to preempt throws with jumps or just by being out of range, where you can smack them with your limbs. This sounds simple, and it is, but many newbies with no strategy just button mash and wonder why they're losing with a random mix of attacks.
#2: Playing it safe
You've probably heard that some moves aren't "safe," but what does that mean? A move that isn't safe is one that, if blocked, allows the person blocking to recover quicker than the attacker, letting the blocker gain momentum and swing the match in his or her favor.
And important part of getting better is learning which moves a character has are unsafe if blocked, since this knowledge will allow you to punish your opponent's mistakes. For instance, if you knew Hakan's Oil Slide was unsafe on block at most ranges, but safe on block at its maximum extension, you would know when to punish him and when to jump from his impending throw. If you didn't know about when his attack was safe, you would always block or always attempt to punish him and fail, allowing him to score free damage due to your ignorance of his moves.
Another thing many players don't realize is how unsafe jumping is. While you're jumping, you can't block, so you can be easily hurt, but more importantly is that by jumping, you telegraph your position and options for the entire duration of the jump. Just think: while you're on the ground, you could stand, block, attack, grab, or tons of other stuff. When you're in the air, usually the only things you can do are attack or be attacked!
The best ways to learn what's safe is to read/watch character guides online, or just play as the character online. You'll find out really fast that Gouken's sliding palm isn't always safe on block after you get KO'ed every time you use it!
#3: Progressive punishes
No matter how good your opponent is, eventually he or she will mess up. Maybe it'll be a whiffed throw (because you jumped!) or an unsafe attack or a dropped combo. Many new players fail to capitalize on these mistakes because they either don't have a plan or they're not capable of executing the 20-hit combo they read about online.
Begin with simple punishes, and work up to better combos as you get more confident. Many professionals look down on using a basic throw, but if that's all you can do, start with that. Get ready to throw at any time your opponent is open for it, then do it. As your reactions improve, try doing your Ultra Combo on reaction to whiffed moves, or basic combos that end in a special move. If all you did every match was perfectly defend against your opponent's attacks with blocks and jumps, you could win with a single punish.
#4: In space, nobody can hear you lose
Every character has a range at which that character's moves are most effective. For grapplers like Zangief and short-range fighters like Cammy, it's usually right in your opponent's face. For someone like Ryu, who can control the horizontal field with fireballs and easily punish poorly-timed jumps with shoryukens, a mid range strategy works best.
A match of Street Fighter is often won or lost by which player controls space the best. If you play Makoto or Balrog and spend the entire round running away from Dhalsim, odds are you aren't going to win, since Dhalsim can hurt you at full screen and all you can do is experience the receiving end of yoga pain. For most characters, your best range is at the tip of their attacks, since that's the farthest they can reach without exposing themselves to faster, shorter-range moves. Always aim to keep your opponent at this range and you'll find you take fewer unnecessary hits while being in a better position to capitalize on opponents' mistakes.
#5: Patience comes before mind reading
While the skill of yomi (gameplay intuition) is useful at the mid and upper levels of play, until you're actually a competent player, your attempts to get in your opponent's head will most likely land you in your opponent's fists. The reality is that a skilled opponent is 10x more likely to be able to guess your next move than the inverse, so your attempts to "psychically" predict a move and counter with a random Ultra Combo will most likely be anticipated, blocked, and punished.*
Instead, spend more time actively asking yourself, "What are my opponent's options?" then, "Why did my opponent choose to do that?" after it happens. Instead of pushing the offensive, pause occasionally and see what your foe does, and think about why. It is only through this kind of reflection and the wisdom gained from experience that your guesses will swing from fail-tastically wrong to Daigo Tier right.
#6: For god's sake, just fucking block
When most terrible players lose, they ask themselves "What the fuck, fucking gay-ass lag!" While that's technically not a question, players who make such utterances aren't technically human beings, either. The reality is that most bad players lose because they simply didn't block enough or correctly.
While you're waiting for your opponent to mess up (#3) or watching how they react to a small pause (#5), blocking is the safest bet against all but the most throw-centric characters.** Blocking negates all damage from normal attacks, and cuts damage from specials by a huge margin (normally called chip damage). As noted before, if you were able to block 100% of your opponent's moves, you'd only ever get hit by chip damage and throws, meaning one or two well timed punishes on your end would win the match.
Of course, it's not that easy, but it's not hard either. Most attacks can be blocked while standing or crouching. Crouching attacks can only be blocked while crouching, and jumping attacks can (usually) only be blocked while standing. Some characters have special or command moves that must be blocked high even though they didn't jump, but these moves are fairly slow and obvious once you know what they look like. While in the air, characters cannot block – another reason to limit jumping as much as possible.
The only real downside to blocking constantly is that your opponent will either chip you with special moves or eventually wise up and go for throws. Also, an attacker gets more Super Meter than the blocker gets. But aside from these considerations, blocking is usually much safer than mashing out moves or performing "psychic" reactions.
If you find you're being locked down while blocking, a good alternative can be back dashing. For many characters, the back dash is invincible for part of the animation, allowing you to evade a hit or two. Even the non-invulnerable portion of a back dash usually counts as an air hit, meaning you can't be comboed after it.
#7: Focus pocus
The most important differentiation Street Fighter 4 makes from its predecessors is the Focus Attack system. Focus Attacks have a lot of uses, and understanding them all is important to gradually improving your gameplay.
- Level 1: If you just tap MP+MK, your character will perform a quick attack. If it hits the opponent while they're in the middle of an attack animation (a counter hit), they will crumble to their knees, giving you a free punish
- Level 2: If you hold down MP+MK, your character will focus and charge up, flashing white to indicate level 2 focus. During this charge, your character can be hit by any move without getting smacked around, allowing you to effectively absorb it. If, however, you're hit more than once or by an Armor Break (some moves break focus), you'll take extra damage and lose focus. When you release a Focus Attack after the level 2 flash, hitting your opponent will crumple him/her as long as they're not blocking.
- Level 3: If you continue to hold down MP+MK, your character will flash white again and automatically complete the Focus Attack animation. A level 3 Focus Attack cannot be blocked (blocking it will result in a crumple), breaks Armor (will beat some moves and level 1 or 2 Focus Attacks), and crumples your opponent.
For every level of Focus Attack, if you input a dash (forward or backward) right as or right after the attack hits your opponent (whether they block or get hit), your character will immediately run in the desired direction. You can forward dash to be in a better position to combo a crumpled opponent on hit, or back dash to buy you some space if they blocked it. If your Focus Attack misses, however, you won't be able to cancel, and will be very vulnerable.
For level 2, if you decide mid-charge that your attack is a bad idea, you can dash while still holding MP+MK to cancel your charge into a dash. Your Focus Attack will not even animate; you'll just dash. This can be used to abort your attack, absorb fireballs, or fake out your opponent. Once you've charged to level 3, you can no longer cancel a Focus Attack with a dash, so use this attack sparingly. An opponent who sees or predicts this attack can easily punish you with almost anything.
With levels 2 and 3 of Focus Attack, the damage you absorb from hits taken is temporary. It'll show up as gray on your health bar, and as long as you don't get hit while it's regenerating, you'll gain it all back. In addition, the damage you absorb will still build your Ultra Meter, so smart Focus Attack use can give you better punish opportunities!
In addition to all these techniques, you can input a Focus Attack in the middle of most other moves and special moves to cancel their animation. From there, you can let go for some added damage from the Focus Attack, or input a dash for a chance at a more demanding combo. This is a lot more complicated, and you should probably refer to a guide focused solely on Focus Attack Dash Cancel (FADC) combos for details.
These Super Street Fighter 4 tips aren't meant to be all-inclusive; they're just meant to be strategic points to help you evaluate what's holding you back from being a better player. As with any game, experience is the best teacher, but in the absence of an actually useful instruction manual or training mode, I hope this Get Good article can help you overcome your reservations and exact sweet vengeance upon your rivals.

We are entering a period of crucial repatterning. Not just of our DNA, our humanity, our relationship to the planet. It goes beyond the survival of humanity to the very nature of life itself. From our conscious relationship with life, we are evolving to a whole new form of evolution.
Change has always happened. Things go along fine for a while, and then a sudden shift happens. It marks a transition – the end of something, the beginning of something else. We are at such a transitional point now. But this one is different. Because we are consciously creating the shift. We are the shift!
Within our universe, where time and space arise from our modes of perception, our conscious role in the shift is opening dimensional doorways and changing the nature of life beyond our current imagining. It is no wonder we are experiencing swings from exaltation and excitement to extreme fear and confusion.
During 2013 and 2014, the outer planets – Uranus, Neptune and Uranus – will open us further to the galactic impulses that are fuelling this shift.
The important thing to realise is that your personal dramas go way beyond the personal. You are engaging consciously in a monumental and universal shift in the very nature of life itself. Your struggles are not caused by personal faults or failures. They are the last vestiges of humanity's separation from universal love and wholeness.
There are a few themes it might help to be aware of just now.
Return of the Mother
This is the inner child, shifting it's attention and attachment from the imperfect personal mother to the universal and unconditional mother. This reconnection brings healing of wounds carved deeply into our DNA. It heals fear, anxiety, anger and grief, down to the level below our conscious awareness, the places where we were not even able to store our pain in language. These places of pain have been impossible for us to access before now.
Rebalancing Yin and Yang
Our western culture is so seeped in the idea that creativity is solely a masculine function that the obvious creative aspects of the feminine have become invisible.
Everyone has yin and yang. I prefer this to feminine/masculine. It removes the shadow of gender wars from the shift. And whether we see it as the Feminine or the Yin energy, we are experiencing a return of a balance in our creative energies that incorporates both the Yin and Yang, the Feminine and the Masculine.
This rebalancing takes us on a profound journey into our culture and out the other side. We have been accustomed for thousands of years to see only the masculine/yang as creator. Our Father Who Are In Heaven. Our Mother who … hey, what happened to the Mother?
The creative energy of the feminine/yin have become almost invisible, and almost impossible to trust. To do 'nothing', to wait for inspiration, to rest between bursts of activity, to trust our inner guidance over external cues, all of these and more are returning to our creative toolkit.
What's Glamorous?
Neptune has been doing a monumental job of pulling back the veil and revealing a greater truth. Neptune has been transiting in the Solar Plexus Centre almost exclusively since 1999, fine tuning our emotional responses to higher vibrations. The resulting emotional clarity has allowed us to stand firm in our own personal truth and see abuse, trauma and deception.
We've healed our DNA. Our cells and the particles in our field no longer carry this energy. We don't vibrate at this domination frequency any longer. This new clarity has released us from continuing to recreate the wounds, and we are now shifting the trajectory of culture from one of hierarchical power to a universal collective based on truth and love.
The old power structures can no longer pull the wool over our eyes, because now we can see their actions clearly. What was glamorous is now revealed as deception, designed to keep us working hard and eternally hungering for what we really desired.
Creating Connection
Last week Juno and Venus passed over Pluto and triggered an intense point of relationship shift. It's not easy, but the outcome is that we are letting go of old projections and finding our self focus. What we long for is within us, always available. We simply have to drop deeply into the wound, the lack, and ask to be shown the place within us that holds the key. As we bring our full attention to ourselves we are able to commit ourselves more truly to those connections with others. Without the attachments based on fear and lack, a new kind of love emerges. Like circles of ripples joining together in a pond, we are co-creating something more beautiful as we connect.
Pluto in Gate 58 – Joy – between 2010 and 2012 helped us find the places where our family conditioning had prevented us opening to each other joyfully. Now we're ready to spread the joy! We are learning to meet each other and blend without losing our unique essence. We are creating entirely new forms of co-creative relationships and, in the process, new cultures and economies.
Pluto is now in Gate 38 – Opposition – bringing up the struggle of having to go it alone. Again, it's not that we need someone else to save us, to fill in the gaps in our lives. We can find those wounded and weary parts of ourselves and embrace them. There's a relaxation in this process that simplifies our lives, shifts us into a more relaxed way of feeling, being. We slowly open, connect to our higher knowing, our bodies, our shared experiences.
Being and Doing
And speaking of being. It's no longer possible to Do without Being. Or to Be without Doing. We can't spend our lives meditating to feel good. We must integrate our disparate selves and bring them out into the field of infinite possibilities. We can't go out into the world protesting, struggling against evil, incessantly helping others without stopping to take a breathe and connect to our own inner essence. We are being called to a place where Being and Doing are the same thing. In this place we find synchronicity and joyful co-creation, because we have moved beyond egoistic achievement and unconscious self sabotage. It also moves us out of trying to live our ideals, a place that is akin to slavery to old religious or philosophic beliefs.
You are taking part in a monumental shift in the expression of universal life. You are doing it in the density of a physical body, engaging in the seemingly impossible task of connecting higher dimensional energies with a walking, talking, living, breathing human. This is an extraordinary thing! Be gentle and kind. Trust in your own evolutionary impulses. Set your focal point on your own best outcomes – what's most joyful and relaxed for you? There's your direction, pointing your path through each day no matter what external events you encounter.

Free from Lyme!
How a former "incurable Lymie" became free from Lyme Disease without antibiotics and is now helping others to do the same.
*As seen
in the
Hi, my name is M. Fett. I am well-known known in the Lyme community as someone who had acute Lyme infection, recovered from it and has been since helping others.
Before going any further, please do not mistake this web site for any "Miracle Cure In 72 Hours" type of site, intimations of a "secret" formula, "free bonus" stuff that "used to cost lots of money" and "time limit" offers. If that's what you were expecting, you've come to the wrong place. This is a site that simply presents a factual "How-To" guide eBook, written by someone who successfully recovered from severe Lyme infection and has now made it available to others.
Others who likewise have now achieved, or are achieving, relief and reversal of their Lyme Complex symptoms.
Because I am someone who has personally experienced the nightmare that is Lyme infection as well as the blessing to have found a "way back out of the woods", I can honestly say: if you, or a loved one, are suffering from Lyme infection, I truly believe this protocol can help you too. I can say this because of observing those who originated the protocol becoming symptom-free, then myself, and now literally thousands of others worldwide who have followed. We have seen it work regardless of age, gender, length of time infected, and so on. Even on pets!
In the
process of my own recovery,
like most Lymies I did try an initial
treatment of antibiotics, but quickly found they did not work for me and
the side-effects made me worse. I interviewed many other Lymies and
was struck by the exceedingly high "failure rate" of an
antibiotic approach. I spent hours and hours researching Lyme itself
and all the various alternative treatments out there. I ended up
spending a fortune pursuing them. If it was available, I did it
(read "My Story" at the link at the top of the page for more details).

"Hi M.,
It is hard to believe that life has moved on beyond Lyme Disease. Even
harder to believe that this time last year I suffered so badly and so
deeply. When you recover from an illness you forget so quickly what living sick
was like. I stayed on [the protocol] for nine full months I have been off
the protocol since August and show no signs of Lyme Disease or Babesia.
"Patrick is a
happy normal boy again, and he's almost totally pain-free! I sometimes
worry a bit that I haven't kept up his dosage, as he was on 4 or 5 for
about 10 months and then I've given him only 1 each, 3 days a week for the
last month or so.( I know this sounds lazy, but he just doesn't believe
he's sick any more.) He will occasionally have a slight knee pain,
but rarely. I don't find much time to read the message board, as I
homeschool, and have twin 4 yr olds and a 1 yr old daughter. But I will
forever be a supporter of lymestrategies, and am truly in your debt."

|1960s 1970s 1980s 1990s 2000s
4 July 1945, Cregagh, Belfast, Northern Ireland, d. 9 January 2002, Northern Ireland. The subject of an overpowering publicity campaign engineered by his manager Phil Solomon, former engineering apprentice McWilliams was featured on the front, inside and back covers of several consecutive issues of the New Musical Express, which extolled the virtues of a new talent. He was incessantly plugged on Radio Caroline. Much was made of his rebellious youth and affinity with Irish music, yet the singers debut release, The Days Of Pearly Spencer/Harlem Lady, revealed a grasp of pops dynamics rather than those of folk. The former song, based on a homeless man in Ballymena befriended by the singer, was both impressive and memorable, as was the pulsating follow-up, Three OClock Flamingo Street, but McWilliams was unable to shake the hype tag which accompanied his launch. His manager believed that Williams was a...

Keywords: Spectacular Golf Course and Night-lit Mountain View, Newly Remodeled Private Home, Beautiful Quartzite Pool/Jacuzzi with Tanning Shelf
What an amazing home. The views are just spectacular (golfer or not). It was in a great area as well. We especially enjoyed the pool and outdoor area and were hardly ever in the house. The sound of the waterfall in the pool was just amazing and I miss it already. We travelled with our nanny and our young baby and Vince had lots of little extras around the house for kids which made it easy for us. If you are a golfer, this is a house you must stay in, especially when Palmer Private is open. I would highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway or golf vacation. And I must mention, the beds were soon comfortable! I miss it already. Thanks for everything, Vince! We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back.
WOW! That was our very first reaction when entering this beautiful house for the first time. It was designer perfect, with the furnishings and accessories done by a talented decorator. The floor plan is very comfortable and it flows well from the central living and dining area to the bedrooms and the outside patio and pool. The owners of this home have thoughtfully stocked the kitchen with everything one could wish for, from beautiful and modern appliances to the finest in dishes, glassware and cooking and baking utensils. Cooking in this kitchen was a delight! Even the pantry was stocked with spices and such. There is a washer and dryer, and the house is equipped with WI FI, cable and five large-screened TVs, plus a golf cart and two bikes.
We felt like royalty in the huge master's suite because it is so sumptuous. The bedroom looks out to the lovely backyard and pool and has a very comfortable bed to offer a great nights sleep. The adjoining bath and dressing room had a large supply of quality bath towels and the owners even stocked the bathrooms with extra soaps, toothbrushes and toothpaste in case we had forgotten ours. The walk-in shower was delightful and had a strong water stream that we enjoyed.There are two other bedrooms in the house and each is very nicely decorated with comfortable beds and up-scale bedding. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom which is similarly decorated and supplied like the rest of the house. There is plenty of privacy to be had using any of the bedrooms, as each seems isolated and private.
We've yet to mention the place where we had the most fun here: that is the large patio that has a fireplace, comfortable patio and pool furnishings that included seating areas and a table and chairs with a glass fire feature in the center of the table that looks very exotic at night. The patio area has automatic retracting awnings to provide respite from the desert sun, if needed. The pool was our favorite part. It's beautiful to look at but more exciting to be in. It's a modified kidney-shape with a wonderful short wall behind it that serves as a long horizontal water fall. The shallow beach-like shelf at one end of the pool is pleasant to lounge on. While using the pool and patio we enjoyed the fabulous view of the golf course just behind the pool area and the magnificent Santa Rosa Mountains. We have already reserved for October, (3rd visit)!
We spent a wonderful 3 weeks in this beautuful home. The house, amenities, pool and spa, and the views were superb! The owners are very easy to deal with and very helpul and accommodating. Perfect location on the Palmer Private Course. We have rented homes at PGA West previously and this was the best! Truly a great experience. We cannot wait to return.
From the moment we stepped into this amazing home, we knew we were in for an awesome getaway. Every room was exquisitely decorated and every amenity was at our fingertips. We could not get over the beauty of the Santa Rosa Mountains and golf course as we enjoyed our mornings out on the patio but then each night we were treated to an even more spectacular sight when that same range of mountains simply glowed. It really did take your breath away! With each bedroom having its own private bath, it was perfect for inviting our friends come and join us for the weekend. There were plenty of areas for dining and socializing but each couple also had their own private space. The owners, Vince and Cindy, were quick to answer all of our questions and provide all the information we needed to make our stay perfect. We fully intend to come back and enjoy this immaculate home that is brimming with hospitality and comfort. It is with reservation that we highly recommend this home because we would love to keep this treasure a best kept secret.
A beautiful home on an immaculate golf course with stunning views of the mountain (especially at night), located on the PGA West Palmer Course. The mountain goats even come down to graze a few yards away! The home has every amenity imaginable - beautiful pool and spa, fireplaces in the bedrooms, flagstone floors, temperpedic beds, island kitchen, wine refrigerator, and so on... No touch is missed. The pride of ownership shows. It is very private and quiet - perfect for a getaway to recharge your batteries. It is great for a couples retreat. The place is stunning and worthy of a stay at the Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton.
What an amazing property! I did not want to leave. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Vince's La Quinta home, which is actually larger, and more spacious than the VRBO photos depict. The house had every amenities possible to make our stay comfortable and relaxed. The 3 king size suites were perfect for our family. The view is to die for,so peaceful. We had excellent communication with Vince. I look forward to our next visit. I would definitely recommend this property to a friend, and hope they invite me to join them.
Hope to someday retire in this location with all the amenities it has to offer.
The house includes three separate, private suites plus a theater/workout room. Also, golf is available at three spectacular public courses at the PGA West Stadium, Nick Tournament, and the Norman. The challenging and beautiful Silver Rock Course is an approximate five minute drive. Public tennis courts and hiking trails are within two miles. Finally, bicycles are available for the avid cyclists or for those who just care to peruse the breathtaking surroundings.

Your beautiful home sits in a beautiful quiet setting, stunning mountain views on a beautifully kept golf course. We even met Arnold Palmer himself!!! The home is extremely well appointed and comfortable. It lacks nothing! We had a memorable stay and recommend it most highly as you have been gracious and willing hosts.
P.S.- Rick, the pool man is so friendly and keeps the pool immaculate. He also provides excellent guidance on things to do and places to eat and what's going on locally. And of course, the big horned sheep made their regular appearances much to the delight of our grandchildren. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely home. We look forward to next year.

Though TDP leader, Chandrababu Naidu maintained restraint in openly opposing Telangana state formation, the ground realities seems to be different for the party in Telangana.
The fast changing developments in Telangana TDP should be a major worry and concern for Chandrababu, if he wants to keep the steam in the party at least till the elections 2014.
The TDP may also be in an favourable position after KCR ruling out TRS merger with the Congress party. The split in positive vote may benefit the TDP to some extent. There is no factors like anti incumbency in Telangana. Only pro-Telangana parties have to share the votes and seats, where TDP will be lagging behind others.

A friend pointed out this Associated Press story to me recently, which claims that more owners want to share their final resting place with their best friends in pet cemeteries.
The International Association of Pet Cemeteries and Crematories, with 200 members, estimates that a quarter of the nation's pet cemeteries take in deceased humans, and the demand is growing.
"We hear about it all the time in our membership, people asking for it," said Donna Bethune, the group's executive secretary. Pet owners "oftentimes maybe don't have extended family and their pet pretty much was their family, like their child to them. And there's not a family plot where everyone's going to be."
At the 115-year-old Hartsdale Pet Cemetery, which claims to be America's first pet cemetery, president and director Edward Martin Jr. estimates the remains of 700 people have joined the 75,000 or so buried animals.
According to the story, most of the pet cemeteries require humans to be cremated before being buried with their pets.
Martin said lawyers have told him that because cremation is a "final disposition," there's no regulation against putting the ashes of pet owners in with their dead ferrets or goldfish.
Dan Shapiro, spokesman for the New York Department of State, which regulates cemeteries, isn't so sure. He said there's no specific regulation that says humans can't be in pet cemeteries, but added, "there's nothing that says they can."
Would you do it?

Seymoor History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Norman Conquest of 1066. The Seymoor family lived in Monmouthshire. Their name, however, is a reference to St. Maur, near Avranches, Normandy, the family's place of residence prior to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066.
Early Origins of the Seymoor family
Monmouthshire. However, records differ on who was the progenitor of the family. One reference claims that Wido de St. Maur came to England in 1066 but was deceased before 1086 and would have therefore not appeared in the Domesday Book. His son William Fits-Wido held a barony in Somerset, Wiltshire and Gloucester and ten manors in Somerset. [1]CITATION[CLOSE]
The Norman People and Their Existing Descendants in the British Dominions and the United States Of America. Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing, 1975. Print. (ISBN 0-8063-0636-X)
"A Gilbertine priory, in honour of the Blessed Virgin Mary, was founded [in Poulton, Gloucestershire] about 1347, by Sir Thomas de Sancto Mauro, or Seymor." [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Another reference claims they were descended from Roger Sancto Maure who lived during the reign of Henry I and was Lord of Seymour Castle. [3]CITATION[CLOSE]
Early History of the Seymoor family
Another 221 words (16 lines of text) covering the years 1458, 1508, 1537, 1474, 1536, 1547, 1549, 1528, 1593, 1563, 1613, 1599, 1674, 1663, 1646, 1648, 1632, 1708 and are included under the topic Early Seymoor History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Seymoor Spelling Variations
spelling variations. This is largely due to the fact that Old and Middle English lacked any spelling rules when Norman French was introduced in the 11th century. The languages of the English courts at that time were French and Latin. These various languages mixed quite freely in the evolving social milieu. The final element of this mix is that medieval scribes spelled words according to their sounds rather than any definite rules, so a name was often spelled in as many different ways as the number of documents it appeared in. The name was spelled St. Maur, Seymour, Seymer, Seymar, Seamor, Seamour, Seemour and many more.
Early Notables of the Seymoor family (pre 1700)
High Sheriff of Herefordshire in 1458; Jane Seymour (1508-1537), Queen consort of England as the third wife of King Henry VIII; Sir John Seymour, of Wiltshire, KB (c.1474-1536), English gentry, courtier to King Henry VIII, father of the king's wife Jane...
Another 86 words (6 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Seymoor Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Seymoor family to Ireland
Some of the Seymoor family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt.
Another 127 words (9 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Seymoor family to the New World and Oceana
Because of the political and religious discontent in England, families began to migrate abroad in enormous numbers. Faced with persecution and starvation at home, the open frontiers and generally less oppressive social environment of the New World seemed tantalizing indeed to many English people. The trip was difficult, and not all made it unscathed, but many of those who did get to Canada and the United States made important contributions to the young nations in which they settled. Some of the first North American settlers with Seymoor name or one of its variants: William Seymour who settled in Virginia in 1653; George Seymour settled in Barbados in 1679; William Seymour settled in Maryland in 1725; John Seymer was banished to Barbados in 1685.
The Seymoor Motto
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Foy pour devoir
Motto Translation: Faith for duty.

The atfify project is currently being merged into the NetBSD source tree. Here is the list of the stuff that has already been imported:
The changes to ATF were merged into mainline and released as part of 0.6 version.
The tests/crypto and tests/util directories have been imported on 20090213.
The tests/kernel directory has been imported on 20090220.
The tests/sys/{libposix,libprop,libpthread,librt,libskey,libutil} directories have been imported on 20100716. tests/sys/libevent is obsolete and sys/libm may not get imported at all due to GSoC 2010's project working on libm.
The tests/c/csu and tests/c/include directories have been imported on 20100717.
The tests/c/lint1 directory has been imported on 20100718.
The Automatic Testing Framework (ATF) was created during last year's Google Summer of Code to simplify managing and executing multiple test suites in NetBSD code repository. It's very well designed and it's vastly superior to the previous way of handling tests. Unfortunately, very few test suites have been actually converted from the old framework to ATF so far. The goal of this project is to manually review and convert the remaining ones and to improve ATF itself to make creating new test suites more straightforward. For the end of summer, I'm going to deliver:
jmmv: Released and imported ATF 0.6 into the NetBSD source tree. This release puts the changes to ATF developed during this project into mainline and available in the main NetBSD source tree.

Chinese search engine Baidu has launched a Groupon competitor website, setting up some potentially stiff competition for Google should the rumoured acquisition of Groupon take place.
The new coupon and group deals website is called Youa Tuangou, which is Chinese for "Group Buy", adding to a rapidly growing group buying sector in China which is said to have grown from zero websites to 1,200 over the last year, according to the China e-Business Research Centre.
Baidu is also offering a new service to allow vendors to put up discounts on its reviews website, called Baidu Shenbian. This will work in conjunction with Youa Tuangou, providing advertising for businesses, deals for customers, and a large revenue stream for Baidu.
Baidu is Google's main competition in China, holding 73 percent of the search engine market share in the region, so it's likely that Google will be watching this group deals website launch very closely.
It comes only a day after Groupon acquired a number of similar websites in Asia, which means that if Google does buy Groupon it will be competing with Baidu on more than the search engine front.
Groupon has not yet expanded into mainland China, but it looks like it's only a matter of time before it tries, with or without the backing of Google.

Biology is one of the original natural sciences, even reaching back as far as the study of anatomy in ancient Egypt, where evidence has been found of surgery, forensics, and anatomical knowledge of both organ structure and function. Biology in general is the study of life and living organisms, with specific attention to function, growth, evolution, identification and taxonomy. Modern biology is becoming an interdisciplinary field, overlapping with biomedical engineering, molecular chemistry, and genetics. The biological sciences recognize the cell as the basic unit of life, and DNA as the basic unit of heredity. Moreover, all organisms survive by consuming and transforming energy via respiration or photosynthesis, and by regulating their internal environment via homeostasis.
The life sciences are defined by the scale at which organisms are studied, in that biochemistry focuses on chemical processes of life while molecular biology involves molecules and protein synthesis. Cellular biology may be broken down further into a structural analysis of cell organelles and lipid membrane boundries, such as in skin tissue or alveolar sacs in the lungs. In the field of genetic engineering, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) may be spliced together from different organisms, in an attempt to transfer hereditary traits that may increase crop yields, create a supply of stem-cells, or even clone sheep. Beyond degree requirements such as Howard Community College human evolution, you may consider Norwich University lecture notes for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

MERCHANTS OF CULTURE by John B. Thompson
in the brooklyn rail, a great interview with sociologist john b. thompson on his latest book — a synthesis of five years of research studying the slowly and reluctantly transforming trade book biz.
thompson posits a few interrelated forces eviscerating the publishing business: the teetering economies of the big chain stores; the increasing power and prominence of literary agents; consequences of the ongoing digital revolution; and the consolidation of publishing houses into public companies who, while in a relatively plateaued industry, are forced to seek bottom-line growth. but while these forces have been elaborated on elsewhere, thompson's carefully considered analysis is refreshingly absent of both chicken little squawk and futurist drool.
some favorite bits:
Rail: So the change in publishing is certainly more complex than the chat that "e–books are destroying traditional publishing?"
Thompson: Absolutely. The publishing industry is in trouble—but not just because of the digital revolution. The real trouble for the publishing industry, in my view, has more to do with the gradual unfolding of this economic transformation that led to this structure of publishing, where we now have five large corporate groups and a small number of retail chains dominating the industry. These corporations have to achieve growth year on year, and when that top line revenue begins to fall, as it did when the 2008 economic recession suddenly tipped the narrow profit margins into the red, it has devastating impact throughout and the only way that they can preserve the profit at the bottom line is to push people out, and to reduce their overheads and costs dramatically. You don't see this in the small houses but the big corporations respond quickly, immediately, because their absolute priority is to protect that bottom line profitability, which they have to report to their corporate bosses. And so that was the real crisis in the publishing industry in the autumn of 2008 to the present. Now, it also happened to be conjoined with an upsurge in e–book sales. Kindle had been introduced in 2007, the Sony Reader a year before that, and there was some impact from these before the recession. But as you moved into 2009, commentators and observers of the industry were seeing that the only thing that had an upward movement in the book publishing industry were e–book sales. Now, of course, that's misleading because, still, 95 percent of the revenues in the industry are coming from physical book sales. It's just that the only thing that is growing are e–book sales, so everyone focuses their attention on that and says the "revolution" or the "crisis" of the book publishing industry is about e–books, and that's not the case actually.
Rail: So it's largely a media ownership issue.
Rail: But will e–books become more of a norm as time goes on?
Thompson: There's no consensus on this issue. I interviewed many, many key players in the digital divisions of all the large publishing houses, as well as the medium and small size publishing houses and everyone is very interested in this topic but everyone has a different opinion about what will happen in the future. Some believe that it will sweep aside the printed book and the printed book will become a relic of the past that you find only on the bookshelves of collectors. Whereas there are others who say it will plateau at some level. Some say it's going to be 10 percent of readers, others say it's going to be 20 percent, others 50 percent. Everyone has a different opinion on the matter. My own view is that what we will see is a differentiation of the marketplace. Readers and consumers have many different values, and beliefs, and preferences and you will see some be very happy to read on electronic devices of one kind or another. Others will remain wedded to print on paper and will want books in that form. There are deeply embedded cultural practices around writing and reading and these are not going to change quickly and easily. There are people who believe that technology sweeps all before it, and that technology is really the driving force of social change. I don't take that view. I regard that as a technological fallacy—the view that technology is a driving force of social change. I think technologies are always embedded in social, cultural context and what technologies get taken up depends on a variety of factors that shape people's practices and beliefs. There are many examples of technologies that went nowhere. You remember the great CD–ROM fiasco? In the late 1980s all publishers thought that the future of books was the CD–ROM. A lot of money was invested; publishers set up whole units developing CD–ROM technology and then it disappeared. It just didn't go anywhere largely because it wasn't very useful. So technology doesn't produce results in and by itself.

Reviewed By arthur b (Niederwald, TX) Reviewed for a 2005 Jeep Liberty —11/4/2008 8:18 PM
I purchased the AirLift 1000 set for a 2005 Jeep Liberty Limited. Product literature promised a one hour +- install -- it took me over 4 hours. Not that I am mechanically challenged, I consider my skills far beyond "pro-sumer" level. The instructions were well written, product is high quality and works as advertised. On my installation, a 3/4 inch hole was required on the bottom of the spring plate. That is where the time added up. Drilling the hole requires a 3/4 bi-metal hole saw and a right angle drill adapter. Did I mention the time? Four trips to Home Depot and nearly 20 minutes of drill time were required to complete the hole. Everything else, from squeezing the bags into the coils and running the air line was easy. Art

Mills completes Foxes move
Reading captain Matt Mills has completed his transfer to Championship rivals Leicester City. He has signed a four-year deal with the Foxes, for a fee believed to be around £4.5 million rising to around £5.5 million.
The former Manchester City defender had one year left on his deal with the Royals and rejected a new contract offer last week, following interest from Premier League teams including Wolves and Stoke.
Foxes boss Sven-Goran Eriksson told the LCFC official website 'Matthew is a quality defender and we are delighted to have secured his services."
The former England manager went on to add: 'He has since developed in to one of the best defenders outside of the Premier League. He is strong, composed and he is a natural leader. Matthew is a good talker and a real team player."
This transfer now leaves potential problems for the Royals with only 2 recognised centre backs in Alex Pearce and Sean Morrison, following the departures of experienced centre half`s Ivar Ingimarsson and Zurab Khizanishvilli.
It also leaves the captains role wide open. Early favourites are Jobi McAnuff and Alex Pearce, with Adam Federici, Mikele Leigertwood and Andy Griffin potential contenders. McAnuff wore the armband on numerous occasions last season in Mills' absence.
The club have come out and promised, as a part of their transfer policy, to sign a new centre half following the sale of Mills.
Colchester defender Magnus Okuonghae has been linked and Paul McShane is a defender that Royals boss Brian McDermott is an admirer of and could line up as a replacement.

TWO sixth formers at Headlands School have been given the chance to get a taste for community reporting and help out a local village newsletter.
Kim Brown, who is in Year 13 at Headlands, and Kenroy Rollins, who is in Year 12, will work with the Bempton newsletter team for the next year – assisting in all aspects of the producing of a newsletter.
They will gather information from around the village, write up articles, arrange the lay-out and assist in its distribution around the villages of Bempton and Buckton.
Kim, who is in her final year at the school, said: "I saw it as a really good opportunity for me.
"I intend to study English at university when I've done my A levels and this will help in providing me with a unique experience to put on my CV and to use my written English in the style required."
Kenroy is particularly interested in the layout of the newsletter.
He said: "It looks like a fairly standard layout so I'm hoping we can do something a bit different."
Kath Lord, of the Bempton newsletter, said: "We are looking forward to the addition of youth onto our team and hope we can incorporate some more items of interest to some of the younger members of the village.
"We are hoping that the students benefit from the experience as much as we will gain from their input.
"So far they have been very enthusiastic and have worked hard towards the November issue."
The Bempton newsletter was started 18 months ago to inform people in the village about specific village events and especially to keep them updated on the current application for funding from the lottery, which passed the second stage of application in August.
Kim and Kenroy have already worked on the newsletter which is due out on November 15, and will attend the Bempton Victorian Market on Sunday, November 18 to speak to stallholders, take photographs and prepare an article for the next issue.
