Ellen Tracy (new) by Ellen Tracy
I have never liked blind buys; but the price was so cheap on Ellen Tracy when I saw it on ebay; I had to buy it. I have one word to say: score!

Boudoir by Vivienne Westwood
When it first came out I adored Boudoir. It's an all out, take no prisoners, sex bomb of a fragrance! Unfortunately time has caught up with me and I no longer can pull off wearing a sex bomb fragrance. To all of you who can go for it, because this scent is about as sexy as they come!

Bal à Versailles by Jean Desprez
I had a sample of Bal a Versailles years ago. It was the 1980's and I was in my youth. The popular fragrances of the period were Poison, Amarige, Arden's Red Door, etc. Great big florals and things of that ilk. Bal a Versailles was miles away from what all my friends were wearing. So of course I adored it. I never cared to follow trends. I like what i like. Unfortunately the sample bottle was all I could get my hands on at that time. When it was gone I sadly said good-bye to Bal a Versailles.

Habanita by Molinard
I almost never do a blind purchase. Let's face it, to buy a full bottle of fragrance that one has not sampled before hand is a crap shoot. And I am not a gambler. Until Habanita!

Rien by Etat Libre d'Orange
Well, to begin with, this fragrance called Rien ( which of course means "nothing" in french) is as far from nothing as it's possible to get. Firstly, because it should be used sparingly to avoid the wrath of the fragrance sensitive. Secondly, because next to Mitsouko and Chanel's Cuir de Russie, this is one of the most beautiful scents I have ever worn. At the moment I have only a sample bottle, but I forsee a full-sized bottle in my future!
01st November, 2012
Rossy de Palma by Etat Libre d'Orange
At first sniff I thought "oh no, another patchouli monster". I have sort of a love/hate relationship with patchouli. Perhaps it goes back to my High School years in the hippy haven the was and still is in large part my home town. Clouds of patchouli scented the corridors my High School. Put me off the stuff for a very long time. Only in recent years am I able to stand a certain amount.
19 October, 2012
Jicky by Guerlain
It's taken me quite a long time to work up the courage to sample Jicky. I don't know if all the talk of it being very "animalic" scared me or that I've heard over and over that it's more of a masculine than a feminine scent. Well, shame on me!
18 October, 2012
La Vie Est Belle by Lancôme
White florals are usually not my cup of tea. Also, when I see jasmine and patchouli in the line up in the same frag; that's enough to scare me off right there.
09 October, 2012
Miss Dior Originale (previously Miss Dior) by Christian Dior
I have never smelled the vintage of Miss Dior, but it is on my "to do" list. I have the current EDT version. I find it good, especially the drydown.
22 September, 2012
Dioressence by Christian Dior
I rarely enjoy dating myself. But, I will say I first was introduced to Dioressence in the 1970's when I was in my early twenties. My mother balked that it was too matronly for a young lady. I found it sophistocated and romantic, and still do!
22 September, 2012
Diorella by Christian Dior
Diorella is confusing to me. When I look at the note composition it seems like a basic chypre structure. Citrus top, floral middle and woodsy, earthy base. For me the citrus top is the smell of citrus disinfectant. Not a lot of heart registers for me at all. But, that said, the drydown of the base is , well, rather glorious!
22 September, 2012
Paris Amour by Bath and Body Works
So....What do you do when it's summertime and you need a new scent, but you don't have a lot of funds at your disposal? I bought Paris Amour!
17 August, 2012
Vintage Bloom by Jessica Simpson
I try not to be snobby about fragrances, I really do! I give what I like to call "massmarket fodder" a try from time to time. Some are surprisingly good, others are about as expected.
17 August, 2012
Boss Orange by Hugo Boss
I just was given a sample of Boss Orange and all I can say is - I would rather eat an orange creamsicle than wear one!
04 August, 2012
Persian Rose by Pacifica
Persian Rose was recommended to me because I said I wanted a BOLD rose fragrance. I should have probably worded my request in a better way. Persian Rose goes way beyond bold into the MASSIVE range. I can't handle massive roses.
17 July, 2012
Courtesan by Worth
I started a thread on the female fragrance disscussion forum - " any thoughts on Courtesan by Worth". Well, my sample has arrived.
16 July, 2012
Liaisons Dangereuses by By Kilian
In "Perfumes - The Guide" Luca Turin describes Liaisons Dangereues as smelling like rose jam. I say a more confectionary rose. Anyway, the conbination of plum, rose, coconut and cinnamon smell absolutely delicious to me. While I have only a sample now, a larger bottle will be mine!
11th July, 2012
1889 Moulin Rouge by Histoires de Parfums
When I first dabbed my sample on my wrist I was immediately mystified. I could of sworn that I have smelt this somewhere before. This is , however, my very first sample of 1889 Moulin Rouge. So how could this be? After a half hour of sniffing and musing, it finally came to me. The top note smells (to my nose at least) like Red by Gorgio Beverly Hills. Very weird!
11th July, 2012
Yardley London Diamond / Royal Diamond by Yardley
I debated a very long time whether to give Royal Diamond a thumbs up or a neutral. Now just because I chose neutral doesn't mean I don't like it.
10th July, 2012
Trésor (new) by Lancôme
A friend just gave a sample of the "new" Tresor. Now I have sampled the "old" Tresor many years ago and I have to say I was not so thrilled with it then. This new stuff, yes, I call it stuff - absolutely horrible!
29 June, 2012
8e Jour by Yves Rocher
Oh, how I loved this scent. I purchased many bottles through Yves Rocher mail order. 8e Jour as I remember it was a sort of "quiet" spicy fragrance, not like Cinnabar or Opium. They were "loud" spicy fragrances and they had their place. I liked the subdued spice of 8e Jour. I do miss it.
21st June, 2012
Violetta di Parma by Borsari
I love a big, bold old fashioned violet. And Violetta di Parma is certainly that. To me it's a violet solifore because I really don't get any other notes off of it. That's fine though, I do really love violet.
16 March, 2012
Eau de Cologne Impériale by Guerlain
Well....... it looks like I'll be the first member of the female sex to write a review on Imperiale.
13 March, 2012 (Last Edited: 15 March, 2012)
Cinéma by Yves Saint Laurent
I totally agree with Luca Turins' assessment of Cinema.
13 March, 2012 (Last Edited: 15 March, 2012)
Bulgari Black by Bulgari
My father was a machinist and this Black smells exactly like his shop. I never minded the smell of Dad's shop, but I don't want to smell like it!
13 March, 2012
Youth Dew Amber Nude by Estée Lauder
I agree that Amber Nude is reminiscent of both the original Youth Dew and a little of Cinnabar. It doesn't have the mile-trailing sillage or the old lady mustiness of Youth Dew, or the full-on spiciness of Cinnabar. It's Youth Dew with a mellow, cleaner and more modern edge.
19 January, 2012
Y by Yves Saint Laurent
I am torn on my opinion of Y. Now, first I must say the sample I have is the current formulation of the edt. I don't get any fruity notes at the top, just a massive whiff of alcohol. But after the alcohol clears away, the heart is very nice. All cool green and fresh. The oakmoss at the base is the star for me (love my oakmoss!).
22 August, 2011
Angel by Thierry Mugler
Well, I have waited a good long time before sampling Angel. The fact that it has all that patchouli in it has always scared me off. I have never liked a lot of patchouli in a fragrance. All that said, I finally took the plunge and tried my first Thierry Mugler scent!
19 August, 2011
Fracas by Robert Piguet
While Fracas is a masterly crafted fragrance, it is just not my cup of tea!

Essential Magnesium For Your Blooming Medical Marijuana Plants: Plump Juice by GRO High Cal

Medical marijuana plants need a variety of essential elements for growth but few are as important to the blooming period as magnesium. Magnesium is one of those essential elements that can make or break a garden and is usually never even thought about twice by the average medical marijuana grower. This is because most fertilizers contain adequate magnesium for the vegetative stage which enables it to reinforce cell walls and play its important role in chlorophyll production. However, many times heavy feeding medical marijuana plants or plants in CO2 enhanced environments need additional magnesium to help promote absorption of phosphorus and sulfur. Magnesium also plays a direct role in the ripening of medical marijuana buds.
Plump Juice by GRO High Cal is a proprietary formulation of magnesium and lignosulfonic acid designed to be applied via foliar application. This specialty magnesium supplement aids in the regulation of nutrient uptake which reduces potential stresses for a medical marijuana plant during the flowering development period. What this product really does is ensure high enough concentrations of magnesium within the plant itself for the blooming period. Magnesium is one of those elements that is absorbed slowly and it can take a long time for a plant to take it in through its roots. By directly applying Plump Juice to the foliage the medical marijuana plant absorbs magnesium into its tissue which then overrides the need to uptake magnesium from the soil. Medical marijuana plants with sufficient magnesium produce larger, more prolific buds.
Mix 1 tsp per gallon of water. Spray flowering plants during weeks 1-6 of the blooming period. This product should be avoided within two weeks of harvesting. Plump Juice is pH balanced for optimal performance.

|This article relies largely or entirely upon a single source. (June 2014)
In education, heutagogy, a concept coined by Stewart Hase of Southern Cross University and Chris Kenyon in Australia, is the study of self-determined learning. The notion is an expansion and reinterpretation of andragogy, and it is possible to mistake it for the same. However, there are several differences between the two that mark the one from the other.[1]
Heutagogy places specific emphasis on learning how to learn, double loop learning, universal learning opportunities, a non-linear process, and true learner self-direction. So, for example, whereas andragogy focuses on the best ways for people to learn, heutagogy also requires that educational initiatives include the improvement of people's actual learning skills themselves, learning how to learn as well as just learning a given subject itself. Similarly, whereas andragogy focusses on structured education, in heutagogy all learning contexts, both formal and informal, are considered.[1]

Taylor Swift wants Selena Gomez to move on
Taylor Swift wants Selena Gomez to cut all ties with Justin Bieber and move on because she allegedly doesn't like him
Taylor Swift wants Selena Gomez to cut all ties with Justin Bieber.
The 'I Knew You Were Trouble' singer - who is single following her split from One Direction star Harry Styles in December - is encouraging her best friend to move on because she doesn't think the 18-year-old Canadian popstar is right for her.
A source close to Taylor, 23, told HollywoodLife.com: ''Taylor would rather Selena break everything off with Justin and believes that will happen in the very near future. Taylor isn't a Justin fan at all. There is just a process that Selena has to go through to have that finally happen and Taylor understands that.
''Taylor is very spiritual and superstitious and believes in the saying, 'It takes half the time of a relationship you had with someone to get over the relationship you had with that person.'
''If Taylor can speed things up a little bit by being there for Selena and showing her the fun she can have, then she will gladly do it.''
Selena, 20, is reportedly back on ''good terms'' with her on/off boyfriend of more than two years, despite dumping him more than a month ago.
A source told E! News that although they have been spending time together again recently, things between them are ''complicated.''
The couple broke up shortly after holidaying in Mexico where they had planned to ring in the New Year together but got into a huge argument on December 30 after she allegedly found text messages from other girls on his phone.

What Love means to a 4-8 year old: A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, 'What does love mean?' The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined
See what you think:
'When my grandmother got arthritis , she couldn't bend over and paint her toenails anymore.. So my grandfather does it for her all the time , even when his hands got arthritis too. That's love.' – Rebecca, age 8
'When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.' – Billy, age 4

'Love is what makes you smile when you're tired.' -Terri, age 4
'Love is when my mommy makes coffee for my daddy and she takes a sip before giving it to him , to make sure the taste is OK.' – Danny, age 7
'Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing , you still want to be together and you talk more. My Mommy and Daddy are like that.
They look gross when they kiss' – Emily, age 8
'Love is what's in the room with you at Christmas if you stop opening presents
and listen.' –Bobby, age 7
'If you want to learn to love better , you should start with a friend who you hate" –Nikka, age 6
'Love is when you tell a guy you like his shirt , then he wears it everyday..' –Noelle, age 7
'Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well.' –Tommy, age 6

'Love is when Mommy sees Daddy on the toilet and she doesn't think it's gross..' –Mark, age 6
'You really shouldn't say 'I love you' unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.' –Jessica, age 8
The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, 'Nothing , I just helped him cry'.

Man Charged With Money Laundering After Booking Private Jet
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A man was arrested for money laundering after he booked a private jet to fly him from Nashville to California to allegedly "buy gold."
An affidavit from Metro Police said 33-year-old Conor Guckian paid for the private jet using $20,000 cash on Monday. Airport Police were notified a few hours before departure. They called in a K-9 unit to sniff the cash, and it detected a narcotic odor.
When Guckian arrived for his flight, he told officers he had a large amount of cash in his luggage. He consented to a search, and officers found $153,000 in cash that a K-9 unit sniffed and detected narcotic odor.
Once Guckian was taken into custody, he told he was flying to California to buy gold with the cash, and he thought his money would be safer in a private plane.
However, he also admitted that he had flown from Rochester to Chicago and then on to Nashville on a commercial airline with the money in his luggage. He then told police he had come to Nashville to see a friend, and later changed his story to say he came to Nashville to get a cheaper flight.
The affidavit said Guckian also told police he had been previously arrested in New York for possession for resale of cocaine.
Guckian was booked for money laundering, and held on $10,000 bond at the Metro Jail.

I like the look of this scale; looks old-fashioned but is sturdy and fits in with our decor. It is very reliable. Make sure it is on a flat surface for the correct weight.So sick of digital products. Nothing can go wrong with this; no batteries to buy. THanks for making such a nice product.
I found that the scale is true to the doctor scale. Being in the 60's, nice numbers to see. It is easy to stand on it. Can move it to a different spot with no problems. Nice scale.
I like the scale because it is not digital so at least you get a true reading, my complaint about this scale is that the black padding is separating from the scale and needs to be reglued. Disappointing for a new product, this is why I only give it 3 stars.
This scale turned out to be larger than I thought, but it works great. So much better than those digital scales. I am very pleased.
The scale looks nice and is well calibrated. You can adjust for clothing really easily if you need to. I've had the digital scales with the fancy features and I have to tell you I like this one much better.
Nice big dial to read. Easy to assemble and use. Very good quality of the overall product
The scale is relatively light for the style. It arrived with the plastic transparent dial cover off and partially broken, the black plastic surface for feet peeling off. The little wheel used to calibrate the scale also is not firmly attached and falls out, however, it can be wiggled into position and used with a lot of caution and patience. The spring does not feel very strong, and the weight readout appears to be random. My old scale that this was meant to replace is the better of the two.. Since it is too much trouble to return it, I am keeping it in the guest bathroom.
I needed a scale that had a large base (I have balance problems), easy to read, hate digital!
The scale arrived fast and looked exactly like the picture.although it was larger than I expected it too be. The scale dials are easy to read and everyone like it because of the professional look and quality of it.
I previously had an expensive digital scale that did not last for even 2 years. I am very pleased with the purchase. It has a large dial and is large in size. Since it is large, it is stable and had lots of room for your feet - no balancing acts on the the scale! One drawback for some may be its size and it is heavy. But that being said, it is not going anywhere once you put it in place.

Noise while VRing-70-200 2.8 VRII
Mar 24, 2010
I just pick up 70-200 f 2.8 VRII. Testing VR at low light some whining noise when VR is working. Is that normal noise? should I wait until the noise stops or shoot it anyway?
Thank you for your input

Shure Tech Tip: Instrument Mic, Vocal Mic, or Both?
Courtesy of Michael Pettersen, Shure's Director of Applications Engineering Are there microphones that will only pick up musical instruments and will reject voices? How about the reverse? If we consider the basic function of a microphone, we discover that the answer to both questions is "No." A microphone senses the movement of air and then converts that air movement into an equivalent electrical signal. A microphone cannot discriminate between the air movement (sound) created by a musical instrument and the air movement (sound) created by a human voice. Air movement is air movement…no matter the …

Product Spotlight: Beta181
Placement Techniques for the Beta 181 Side-Address Condenser Microphone By: John Born, Rob Klegon and Chad Wiggins Beta microphones, first introduced in 1989, have earned a reputation among touring pros and recording engineers for rugged reliability and construction (a Shure signature), precise sound reproduction, low handling noise and high gain before feedback. Everyone knows that. Beta mics, like their indefatigable SM cousins, turn in a solid, no-surprises performance that make them favorites of artists as diverse as Boney James, Herbie Hancock and Maroon 5. Engineers, too.

How does Shure capture YOUR drum sound?
With less than 2 weeks away from the Modern Drummer Festival in New Jersey, I thought it would be great to open up a discussion on the various techniques people use to capture their drum sounds using Shure mics. I think this will also help to educate some people as to what choices are available (i.e. mics, drums, drum heads, etc) and what sounds they will get in making those choices. So here we go: I play drums and my drum kit of choice is Pearl.

Archived:KeyPressed() called twice when LSK is pressed and Display is in (Canvas) full-screen mode (Known Issue)
Archived: This article is archived because it is not considered relevant for third-party developers creating commercial solutions today. If you think this article is still relevant, let us know by adding the template {{ReviewForRemovalFromArchive|user=~~~~|write your reason here}}.
S60 3rd Edition (initial release)
When the Display is in Canvas and in full-screen mode, pressing the left softkey (LSK) once results in two key press events.
If any key, including softkeys, is pressed once, a single key pressed event should be generated.
However, in the Nokia E50 pressing the LSK once will result in two key press events when the Display is Canvas and in full-screen mode.
How to reproduce
Write a sample MIDlet and initialize a variable. Increment it by one inside keyPressed(). Draw its value in Canvas. When pressing other keys, the variable is incremented by one and when pressing the LSK, it is incremented by two.

PM/ Product of the Month:-Old Fashioned Mens Grooming Aid- is a petroleum based pomade designed to keep your hair under control for that neat freshly combed look. Although not water soluble, a few good washes and you'll be ready for a fresh layer. Each jar of pomade is handmade right here at The Iron Society so there's no question of quality or craftsmanship- be easy, friend.
The Iron Society is a private mens barbershop, focusing on the clean classic yet modern look of todays well groomed man. I believe very few things are as important as craftsmanship and at The Iron Society my main focus is just that, precise and consistent. As well as haircuts I offer a small line of handmade mens grooming products, such as pomade, bar soaps and a few more to come.

Crate & Barrel, Land of Nod & CB2 Preview!
This past May I got to sneak preview all the new items being offered by Crate & Barrel, Land of Nod and CB2 at a big, unified preview on Manhattan's west side. It was great to see things close up with a personal tour from Marta Calle, Crate's new president and the creator of CB2, and to see how much things are changing. Working more closely with outside designers, pushing more style and rethinking the store experience are all on deck for the new year.
Land of Nod
Fun and "adult" lighting from Land of Nod

Savino Sectional sporting some 70's stripes
Sherwood Lamp in warm oak finish
I loved all the wood in this section, including this candle holder which isn't on the site yet...
Piazza Gingham Chair by DwellStudio
Clutch table lamp by Jannis Ellenberger/a>
Wrap Bench is a totally new direction for CB2
This new design isn't in stores yet, but should be soon.

Are those some sort of collapsible bed frames in the first photo-- the tented Land of Nod photo? If so, will those be for sale? Always looking for interesting portable bed options...
Oh, I do like that gingham chair! It's accessorized strangely in the photo, though.
Heidi - They are army cots. Not very comfortable but it keeps one off the damp ground. Should be able to pick one up for $5 to $10.
Do I see an Ikea wannabe here in the making? FDon't get me wrong, I love the look, just hoping the prices will be lower so that our hip new nester's will be able to afford the wonderful look!
If someone showed me Apartment Therapy post I'd never guess it was yours. Not remotely close to your relentless standards. A first. Oh, well. It's summer ...que cera cera...
I love that wrap bench!
And it's a fine post btw!
What fun stuff! Thanks for the reminder to give the Land of Nod another look - I always assume it's for kids only.
Nice marble top table - any prices yet?
Not loving any of it other than the adult lighting at Land of Nod. Hopefully its just a small fraction of their fall collections.
Somebody forgot to finish weaving that bench seat.
I'm feeling it, love C&B designs, especially CB2. I only wish CB2 would bring back some of the lamps and the Teepee table from a couple years back.
Wasn't this event back in May or something? Is there an embargo on when you can show it? Most of this stuff I've already seen in the stores or on the cover of the catalogs. I appreciate you sharing what you saw, but would have loved to have seen it back when it was still a "preview"!
Land of Nod is definitely playing up the Moonrise Kingdom vibe. I like it.
The Yellow lamp from CB2 is on my wish list :)
While the items are all well and good if that mid century style is your look, I just think there isn't much new here that they are adding. It just doesn't excite me.
And maybe its just my mind set, but I think A LOT of this can be DIY'd or Hacked.
I did like the idea of the hurricane with the candle, and the red checked peice. I agree that it was akwardly styled. They could have gone quite modern/ sleek with it or gone modern country with it, and they did neither. They just threw some stuff on it that frankly, looks like a 16 year old girl looking for her shoes in her bedroom.
Did you see the QUEEN painting at the preview? It is now sold out and on re-order.
I think CB2 is trying to go head to head with West Elm, hence the further organic elements. I heart Land of Nod, though--lots of colorful, fun stuff. Glad to see that maybe the personality will spread a bit to C&B...I don't even go in there anymore, it's such a snooze.

The thought of so many military officers in full Nazi regalia calmly practicing their riding is somewhat unsettling. No doubt the Nazis took better care of their prized animals than those they considered "undesirables" and sent to concentration camps.

Thank you for sharing your info. I really appreciate your efforts and I am waiting for your next post thank you once again.


text: #HTTR… via National Post Sports: "Robert Griffin III knows he's getting criticized for playing hurt in the Washington Redskins' playoff loss. On Monday, he offered his latest defence on Twitter. The rookie quarterback tweeted: "Many may question, criticize & think they have all the right answers. But few have been in the line of fire in battle." The Redskins were awaiting the results of an MRI on Griffin's right knee, which he re-injured twice during Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks."

This was really good! Can be a main dish. The only change I'll make next time is to change the consomme to either low sodium (if it is made anywhere) or maybe use low sodium broth and then add a little flour or cornstarch to thicken. It was a little salty. I used a variety of mushrooms: shiitake, portabella and button. I also used a little more rosemary (maybe 1 t.) We loved it!
Barley with Shiitakes and Spinach
Photo: Oxmoor House
Although barley isn't a commonly used grain, it's great for baby because of its mild flavor. In this recipe, barley provides a quick yet hearty base for vegetables, cheese, and rosemary, which can be served as a meatless main or side dish.

Standard models in population genetics look up at the evolution of few loci which impact fitness. The variance in fitness is determined by the genetic variance and the environmental variance (and the co-variance between environment and genetics). In this question I am interested only about genetic variance and about what percentage of the total genetic variance in fitness do $n$ loci explain.
In nature, globally speaking,
- how much of the fitness variance does the most important locus explain?
- How much of the fitness variance do the 3 most important loci explain?
- How much of the fitness variance do the 100 most important loci explain? … or if you prefer…
- How many loci explain 50%, 80%, 99% of the total genetic variance in fitness?
It is obvious that the answer depends on the population under consideration. Factors that might influence the answers are for example
- species
- population size
- environment stability
- …
I am seeking for answers based on empirical work that provide such insights in populations of any lineage (bacteria, yeast, animals, plants, whatever…).
Beside this question, I also welcome some insights concerning how different factors are likely to influence the answer.

Getac Rugged Notebooks
Tired of flimsy notebooks that can't take the heat? We test four rugged systems that are built to last.
By Rich MalloyLaptop Magazine
Handle Without CareRugged notebooks are the Abrams tanks of the portable PC world: they usually feature sturdy magnesium cases with rubber bumpers outside and well-cushioned innards. Keyboards are hermetically sealed to protect against spills, and all connectors are equipped with water- and dirtproof covers. Their displays are designed to be readable even in direct sunlight, and most are equipped with touchscreens to allow easy clicking in tough conditions.

Even with steady rain falling at the Hampton track in July, Maurice is making sure Francena has her share of a training day.
Consistency is Francena's forte. She says she doesn't like change. After she committed to Hampton, the decision began to make sense for Cantrese. Francena was comfortable with Maurice and she would be close to home.
Francena jokes that change is so uncomfortable for her, she won't even change her hairstyle. But after signing with Adidas and turning professional, Francena's life did change.
"When she graduated from college, I was really afraid that was going to be the end of track and field for her," Cantrese said. "I thought she had grown tired of it, so when she said that she wanted to go pro ... That's when I saw something change in her."
Francena began lifting weights every day along with training on the track. In May, she cut back to lifting weights three times a week. After a last run at the track, she moves to the weight room with Maurice for core exercises. She is on a healthy diet, but indulges in Chick-fil-A for breakfast.
Her lifestyle also changed. With Adidas, she says she gets a base salary of $465,000. The contract allows her to drive a BMW and possibly buy a house in the future. She is interested in fashion, too, coming home with a pair of Christian Louboutin shoes from a recent trip to Paris.
The most important thing to her — family — hasn't changed. Francena says she values the ability to offer her siblings and Gloria a security blanket. Those closest to Francena — her family, pastor and training partner — say she is the same person.
Francena's mother and grandmother will be in London along with Francena and the Pierces for the Olympics.
"She's going to always be herself," Gloria said. "She wasn't ever the type to let other people make her different than what she already is. That's her nature — she's going to be the same Francena no matter how big she gets."
After running 200 meters, Francena walks before lining up for the 100 meters. She crosses the finish line in 13 seconds, her target time, though it's slower than race-pace.
"Right now I'm not so worried about how fast, but just being consistent," Maurice says. "... We still want to save some legs."
Game plan
Francena's race pattern had to change as a pro. She and Maurice don't worry about speed in training because it will naturally come if she puts together the complete race that has eluded her.
She missed the 2008 Beijing Games as a junior at HU, falling out of contention in the Olympic Trials after her first 400-meter run. She anchored the 4x400 relay team to gold in the 2011 world championships.

There are many travel deals and discounted travels on airline travelsTravel Deals & Discounts May 1st, 2008
There are many discounted travels and travel deals available on airline travels. Different airlines offer different travel deals to passengers, ranging from frequent flyer miles, which regular air travelers can accumulate and pass on to their kith and kin. These frequent flyer miles can be used by company executives to take their spouses along with them when they are traveling for official purposes and do not get the airfare for the spouse. There are many other options and travel deals which are open for travelers to make use of.
Some airline travels have deals pertaining to certain sectors of travel which are much cheaper during certain seasons and which travelers can avail of during the season. These discounted travel deals are usually off season to holiday spots anywhere in the world. Travel agents are usually aware of all these travel deals and can keep their passengers informed about them if the passenger intends to take a vacation during this period. There are many travelers who would prefer to get the benefits of cheap travel deals instead of spending the regular fares.
A good way to get to know about all these benefits is to do a search on the internet about the different airlines in the world, and what their offers are. It is better to go about all this much before you actually plan to travel so that you can make good use of any discounted packages that are being offered. This way you need not travel when you have to pay the full normal fare and can wait for the best deals that airlines have to offer.
Some airlines which have smaller aircrafts also offer lower airfare as it will take a longer time to reach the destination. Here again the traveler can save some money on each sector if he chooses airlines with small carriers. The only problem would be that your journey would take longer than if you took the big airliners and saved on time instead of money. However, this is worth your while if the saved amount is pretty good and if you have the time to spare on travel.

I'm suprised at the lack of people who use altoholic but don't know about armory. It's very similar in function, but the interface is a lot closer to the ingame character/professions screens. The only thing that isn't like your own character is the inventory/guildbank screen, which is a list(with icons) and a search box. It also updates tooltips so you know exactly how many of an item you have across alts and guildbanks, who can craft it and who has learned that recipe
I personally never used altoholic but considered it several times, however the screenshots on the download pages always pulls me back - everything is in a list and you can't really look at the specific alt you want
Like I said I never used altoholic so may be very wrong about its interface(it's been a while since I saw screenshots of it too), but don't feel that armory lacks anything that will make me want to change
I really don't know what you mean by "can't really look at the specific alt you want". Altoholic lets you view individual alts and any shared information provided by other people with Altoholic (including your own other accounts, if you dual-box long enough to share data).
The "lists" you might be referring to are the tradeskill and equipment tabs, where those lists are *useful*. They make it much easier to glance over alts and see, for instance, what every character has in a given slot, or see what everyone's secondary skills are at.
Both are actually a reference to the equipment tabs, in armory the main window looks almost exactly like your character inventory screen with stats and a summary of professions and xp in place of the default 3d view, you select a different alt from the potrait at the top left. Achievements, quests and professions are available from tabs along the right hand side.
This made me realise the actual difference between the two addons : altoholic is meant for - well, altoholics, providing a quick overview of all your alts while armory is more concerned with a small handful of them, only showing one at a time. Both have the same functionality and information.
I tend to only work with a few alts at a time and the extra information of all others would just be an annoyance. In the end it all comes down to preference, but I just thought of letting people know of an alternative
Honestly, I have a small army of alts, and was a loyal Altoholic user for quite some time until a guildie turned me on to Armory. Altoholic has too many stupid bugs now (I can't tell you how many times DataStore gave me errors or screwed something up), and too much bloat. I also find Armory's interface to be much cleaner and less clunky than Altoholic's.

text: My cousin just had her second boy. I need to buy a gift, and I know she needs clothes. If you had a child born in the summer, how did you dress him/her? I know I am going to get some onesies. My boys were born in the fall/winter, so they lived in the one piece PJs. Do summer babies wear those too? Or, should I look more for the one-piece items that are shorts/short sleeves. I am thinking that with a/c, a newborn might be cold in that, but IDK.

I just started New Vegas in hardcore mode.
Giving ammo carrying weight is the cruelest thing ever.
Kassie is so fucking far on my side of the bed. I wonder if she would wake up If I tried rolling her over.
Cakey or fudgey brownies?
Everyone I graduated high school with is either fat or has kids.
Since neither of those applies to me, I think I'm doing pretty well for myself.
I give up on autocorrect.
I'm just going to start typing as fast as I can and hope to god the person understands what it says.
My alarm to water my bonsai just went off but I never keep water up here for it.
But then I realized that old, watered down Sprite is essentially the same thing.
cismale replied to your post: I have to get the ultimate Edition of Borderlands…
are you going to get it for xbox/do you still use xbox?
Definitely Xbox. I don't like playing graphic intensive games on PC because I feel like my computer will blow up.
I have to get the ultimate Edition of Borderlands 2.
I just don't see any way around it.
Someone read this to me. I can't comprehend all the quotes. I'm sure it's funny though.
Fallout is just perfect.
By Fallout, I mean 3 and New Vegas. I didn't get far in the first 3 games.
They should make Fallout on Kinect. Can you imagine how awesome it would be.
"Search that fucking file cabinet."
"Enter VATS."
"Drink that nasty-ass toilet water."
I'm at the point where I refuse to play video games on a CRT TV. After playing Skyrim on the 55" HDTV Kassie's dad recently got, I finally understood that there is a god and he likes HD video games.
Deciding if buying Kinect is worth being able yell dragon shouts at my TV.
I want to start playing Dungeons & Dragons.
Who wants to play with me.
I've spent all day watching Rooster Teeth video podcasts and playing MAU.
Good day off.

Last Acts: The Swan Songs of Harold Bloom and Philip Roth
In the final phase of his literary life, Harold Bloom, like Philip Roth, refuses to relinquish his vitality
Bloom's literary training explains at least some of his extremism. Given his grounding in English and then American Romanticism, given his lifelong wanderings through some of the more glimmering corridors of Jewish mystical thought, and—not least—given his lifelong passion for Shakespearean tragedy, it is natural he should have offered a theory of poetic achievement rife with titanic clashes, with sundry struggles to the death and magnificent wrestling matches. Jacob and Yahweh! Sophocles and Freud! In this corner, the biblical author, J; in that corner, the Elohist! Is Stevens strong as Emerson? Will Blake vanquish Milton? Such were the questions settled on Bloom's dynamic, glorious battlefield of literary inheritance.
All the more interesting, then, that Bloom's most recently issued version of his theory not only excises the "anxiety" from his own earlier title and also the "melancholy" from Burton's (whose Anatomy of Melancholy he names an inspiration), but in this late work Bloom clearly lets the more equable and latitudinarian influence of his own teacher Northrop Frye (author of The Anatomy of Criticism) influence him. The process of poetic transmission that once resembled gladiatorial combat works in Bloom's writing, as it once worked in Frye's, by a much more forgiving and even golden set of rules.
Frye had allowed that the highest, the deepest, the biggest forms might have been tragic drama and Christian allegory: forms in which death called the shots. But one could have been forgiven for not thinking of these too much, distracted by the vast and idiosyncratic literary history Frye elaborated: his great garrulous city of themes and types and modes and myths, of genres and theories and legends and lore, of comedies and tragedies, of biology and teleology and anthropology and of mimesis high and mimesis low and every flavor of mimesis between. Every chapter of Frye's The Anatomy of Criticism was dotted with new coinages in italics, and, in theory anyway (and this was Theory, after all, that Frye ushered in), the pieces were all interlockable, assemblable and reassemblable, like Lego. One never knew whether Frye was right, but he was very fun to play.
Harold Bloom was not fun to play, and now he is, despite the fact that it's still the same "death, fear and loneliness" on the board. Under Frye's influence, in the Anatomy of Influence, the once ferocious scene of Agon, or intense intellectual and psychic struggle, now has much more the feel of a meet-and-greet, a great big party with an open bar, more alumni mixer or Reform bar mitzvah than cosmic contest. Imagine, say, that the once severe and exclusive canon had been thrown open to the full list of 761 (and counting) writers Bloom has, over the last 25 years, treated in the Chelsea House Modern Critical Views and Modern Critical Interpretations series he edits. And thrown open too—why not?—to their wives and partners, old students and old friends, dead poets and living poets and to the strangers too. Everyone is there milling around with their drinks, winning friends and—well, we might say, influencing people.
What a scene! Subtract Agon, make mortality your E-ZPass and not your punishment, and something magical happens. Artists once extolled for being fiercely singular and individual can show their softer side, exposing affinities and swapping resemblances no one ever recognized. Yes, Hart Crane, that poet of "memorable pain," may once have contended mightily with Shelley, "a Lucretian poet of pleasures so difficult they seem painful to most humans." And yes, D.H. Lawrence may at this late date look to be "fighting free" of Whitman. But in the same way that Gershom Scholem had handily settled the latter contretemps by pronouncing Whitman a "Lawrentian kabbalist" (freeing Bloom himself to pronounce Lawrence's "New Heaven and Earth" the "best Whitman Walt never composed"); and in the same way that Isaac Babel, and Kafka, have shown us how much better off we'd have been with a "Yiddisher Satan": In just this fashion, why shouldn't Shelley and Browning, and, for that matter, the "fiercely extreme" Emerson and Coleridge, split their differences too? Not only Bloom, but his great friend David Bromwich, and even Bart Giammatti ("late friend, president of Yale and commissioner of baseball"), think Emerson and Coleridge should, at this point, take one for the team. After all, no one, not even Shakespeare, is above learning something new from a strong precursor.
In the end, the atmosphere of the Anatomy of Influence is so chill that you'll find Amy Clampitt angling to get a few words in with Shakespeare. No reason to think she wouldn't succeed but for how the Bard's a bit busy, having been tapped to help Harold with retirement planning, a matter that, broached in the introduction to the Anatomy sets the book on a warm, life-affirming course. One might want to ask whether strong poets, agonists, really do retirement planning? The answer is, it turns out, that when given the chance, yes they do. And as for rigor: whatever. One has to like it when talents monumental and less monumental, James Joyce and Anthony Burgess, for instance, join forces in one volume to weigh in on the implicit question of what they'd have done with lifetime tenure at Yale (great students, great dental).
To all such questions let us say: Ad Meah V'Esrim! May you prove, Harold Bloom, like Bucky on his diving board, like Tony in his column, deathless, encore after encore. May your last act last and last.
