it's low maintenance, not too mainstream, I can play with it, and it looks good no matter what I do
After John's recomendations, I have tried Jergens Natural glow! I have to say that I am VERY pleased with the results! But be aware of this: IT IS NOT SCENT-LESS. It interferes with my perfumes :(...
Iceberg Twice and Jacomo Rouge come to mind! They are cheapies, granted, but still very good. They do bear similarities with le Male though, but those 2 are VERY powdery! and sweet! You should sample...
Thank you very much for the input! something to think about.
I have been looking a lot to pictures, this is a cut I quite like
funniest thing I heard all day! thank you!
I need a sample of the stuff, if it's really any similar to sausage and shampoo, I'll be laughing all the time.. not very wearable.. Actually, if it puts...
Okay, now this may sound really silly.. But I really need help here!

GiT is a scent that I had the exact same first impression of as you did.
That said, it really really grew on me, especially after I discovered it's "secret" to longevity.
We all know most scents...
Oh, my mistake, didn't see the note at the top.
Well then those prices are pretty bad except for the Creeds :P
GiT for 17 bucks?
What size is this.. not written anywhere
This site is as fishy as it gets!
I strongly advise against using such sites.. Even more since they steal BN's material
I have Iceberg Twice, and i'd recomend it. It's prety darn sweet and rather powdery, but it isn't cloying.
I have been suing for over 8 months now
Side effect: Huge boost in confidence! Woohooo!

Claiborne Sport :)
Suits my job... it gets physical :P
Don't kill me but Claiborne Sport smells above average and is one of the rare scent that doesn't turn sour with my sweat.
Very summer-y
Agreed on live jazz
Geir too, but to a lesser extent.....
you would need 2 spritz for a week, but you wouldn't fill rooms with scent just by passing in the corridor :P
Old Man's Child's latest is amazing... like every of his release.. that guy is a genius!

I'd suggest M7 and/or Carven Homme
anything with 'amber' in the notes should work to some extent. They're dark and deep. Love 'em and I have to say I'm a metalhead myself.
You're right...
interesting "debate"! I like what has been said, and I wish to add my 2 pennies :)
I think a signature scent is the one perfume that people can recognize you buy. Say you are trying to sneak up on...
sweet smelling, long lasting and inexpensive is basicly my definition of Icberg Twice
Green Irish Tweed
this thing just won't last :(
I just wanted to mention that, to my huge surprise, M6 Fresh outlasted M7 when I tested both at the same time..
very weird that the lighter version lasts longer
all the better, imo!
Left: Body Kouros
Right: Xeryus Rouge
it's a tie! I won't be buying either though.. not too bad but ... I dunno.. not great.
Wow! Lucky you!!
I love the scent but this brat never lasts longer than 2 hours on me, and it's more often aroudn 1 hour..

'The Vampire Diaries' 5.21 Promo: The Twins Are After Elena and Stefan
With only two episodes left in the fifth season of "The Vampire Diaries", more lives are put at stake. After escaping Markos' (guest star Raffi Barsoumian) control, Stefan and Elena find themselves stranded in a remote location. It gets worse as more people want them dead.
Liv (guest star Penelope Mitchell) and Luke (guest star Chris Brochu) come up with a dangerous new strategy, deciding that they need to kill the former lovers. While on the run, Stefan gets philosophical with Elena about her relationship with Damon.
In the Salvatore mansion, Damon recruits Matt and Jeremy to help him set a trap for Markos after their attempt to protect the dopplegangers goes badly. But Damon doesn't have to look far to find Markos as he comes uninvitedly to Damon's place, giving the bad news that the spell has already begun.
Meanwhile, Bonnie finally admits to Caroline that she's been keeping the truth about the Other Side from everyone. Finally, while Bonnie searches desperately for a way to stop Markos, Caroline is witness to an unthinkable act of violence by one of the Travelers.
"Promised Land", the penultimate episode of "The Vampire Diaries" season 5, will air Thursday, May 8 at 8/7c on The CW.

The game of Jeopardy!™ features four types of strategic decision-making: 1) Daily Double wagering; 2) Final Jeopardy! wagering; 3) selecting the next square when in control of the board; and 4) deciding whether to attempt to answer, i.e., buzz in. Strategies that properly account for the game state and future event probabilities can yield a huge boost in overall winning chances, when compared with simple rule-of-thumb strategies. In this paper, we present an approach to developing and testing components to make said strategy decisions, founded upon development of reasonably faithful simulation models of the players and the Jeopardy! game environment. We describe machine learning and Monte Carlo methods used in simulations to optimize the respective strategy algorithms. Application of these methods yielded superhuman game strategies for IBM Watson™ that significantly enhanced its overall competitive record.

A striking fact was reported in the Associated Press dispatches from Moscow, April 5. In view of the probability of a cholera epidemic, a congress of physicians has just been held in that city and, as an essential first step toward the warding off of the threatened scourge, the members advise a complete and radical change in the whole government and administration of Russia. They demand, in fact, the immediate calling together of a constituent assembly; the stoppage of the war, which has thrown the country into excessive poverty; the reform of the tax laws and the whole general program of the leading Russian reformers of the day. Without all these, they claim, it would be impossible to carry out the needed sanitary measures. In the present unfortunate condition of the country, the political problems have, to this extent, become also the medical ones, and it would not, under ordinary

Drop in U.S. driving last 8 months exceeds the 1970s' total decline
June 2008 saw another sharp drop in vehicle miles traveled (aka VMT) according to the Federal Highway Administration's monthly report on "Traffic Volume Trends."
Americans drove 4.7 percent less, or 12.2 billion miles fewer, in June 2008 than June 2007 — beating the record-setting drop of March (see here).
Since last November, Americans have driven 53.2 billion miles less than they did over the same period a year earlier — topping the 1970s' total decline of 49.3 billion miles….
The moving 12-month trend-line is startling and again makes clear $4 a gallon is the first (but not the last) genuine tipping point for U.S. drivers:
I think that the WSJ's Environmental Capital blog has accepted a US-centric view that misses the key point with their post, Driving's Really Down–But For How Long?
The big question–will the driving downturn last? Oil prices have already come down more than 20% in the last month, and gasoline prices are falling too (if more slowly). The travel industry thinks people are getting used to pricier gas, and thinks there'll be a rebound. From AP:
Travel Industry Association spokeswoman Cathy Keefe said the June driving decline "is not surprising, given the environment that we were in." But she was optimistic that the recent drop in gas prices to below $4 a gallon in many parts of the country will have travelers on the road again. "I think people have started to take the increase in gas prices somewhat more in stride," Keefe said.
Higher oil prices stunted demand, which in turn have helped bring oil prices back down. Now what?
Americans have cut back on oil consumption about 800,000 barrels a day in the first half of this year. But global demand had been rising 1 to 1.5 million barrels a day each year for a while now. So unless the United States keeps reducing demand at this pace — which is obviously quite unlikely absent a major push to fuel-efficient or alternative fuel vehicles — we will very rapidly find ourselves back in the supply-demand mismatch that drove oil prices up to record levels in the first place.
It is time for the media and the MSM's "experts" and politicians to take off the rose-colored glasses once and for all — the price of oil is now not in the control on US consumers or even the Saudis. We are headed toward $6 gas and $8 and then higher. Whether it occurs in two years or five years or 10 years depends primarily on whether the world falls into a global recession or, on the other hand, whether there is yet more conflict in oil rich regions.
Who is going to tell the public this truth?

10 Responses to Drop in U.S. driving last 8 months exceeds the 1970s' total decline
I suggest that crude oil prices are still somewhat in the control of US, though not from US gasoline usage alone. As you indicate, global economic activity levels could significantly affect crude oil prices, and a recession in the US is likely to affect global economic activity.
Also, the dollar has increased by 7% against the euro in the last month, which is part of the reason for the decrease in the price of crude oll (7% is about $8). In the short term, I expect oil to decline a bit more as global economic activity declines.
In the longer term, the biggest effect on crude oil prices is likely to be the race between efficiency (e.g. CAFE, PHEVs) and increasing global VMT. Any sane US President would stop restraining the EPA and CARB. That could lead to 25% of the US vehicle fleet being PHEVs in 2030, which could represent over a million barrels a day being saved in 2030.
This is triple misleading.
First, the VMT. It's not a perfect measure –several hundred points across the country are measured for traffic density — although no body disputes that US driving is down. But these VMT numbers are being pushed out by the DOT to make an argument for toll roads and congestion pricing. They want to claim that the gas tax is collapsing so they need more money. It is better to look at the Visa/MC numbers, or just overall petroleum numbers, to get a sense of how much less Americans are driving.
When you look at gas tax revenue, it is down 1.5%. Yes, that is about 800K b/d of oil — a huge amount, but what it represents is not a tipping point. This is just large SUVs not being used for daily driving. I remember an old canard from Harpers that an improvement of 1 MPG by every SUV in the US would save 800K b/d of oil. Even if you accept the VMT miles, it comes out to something like 10 miles less per month for every car in the US, which is not a significant number.
Finally, 800K b/d drop in demand in the US is huge. To give you an idea, that is about the level of TOTAL chinese petroleum imports — and keep in mind that the bulk of Chinese petroleum use in still electricity production. Demand in the Middle East is up, but these are not significant markets. Why do I call that misleading? Because marginal improvements of VMT and MPG in the US have huge implications for global markets — and proponents of hybrid cars don't want us to believe that. Moving from v8 SUVs to 4 cylinder cars is a great good than moving to plug in hybrids.
Despite charlie pooh-poohing the numbers, he has inadvertently made a good point that should be hammered: cutting out one trip with the SUV saves a TON of miles and gasoline.
All that soft, pandered Americans have to do is change their thinking habits a bit. That is: think. Think about chaining trips and driving a little less, and see what happens?
Dano — my pooh-poohing the numbers is just pointing out that the DOT political leaders have an agenda here — pushing tolls before they leave the office.
And yes, these marginal improvements are huge, given the size of the US market. Again. if we take Obama's advice, check out tires, and save 1 MPG, that is probably going to save 1 million b/d of oil a month.
Or better yet, push towards a future where we drive like the Brits: about 9000K miles a year, rather than the 14K we are driving now.
I drive a little under 8k miles a year on a 30mpg hwy 4-cylinder, and i bought the car used 7 years ago.
switching to a hybrid probably wouldn't save me enough emissions to offset the production of the vehicle itself.
What bothers me is the high prices of gasoline & diesel will not continue long enough to permanently change behaviors.
People can make short-term adjustments to get past a crisis, but will then quickly revert if the crisis abates. If prices continue to fall, pent-up demand for egregious road trips will push gasoline usage higher yet again, and put us right back where we were energy-wise.
This has been the pattern for decades. People get worked up about a gas price spike, and cut back for a short time. Then prices drop slightly and we go back to normal. Then prices creep slowly but that's OK, because by then we're used to it.
I'm suggesting that three months of high gas prices is not enough to permanently change behavior or buying habits.
Barky — I agree. What a three month spike (on top of two years of more gradual inflation) in gas prices does is make people get rid of SUVs and cut down a little in driving.
I bring up the UK model: 9K miles a year. Gas prices in the UK are in the $9 a gallon range. If you think there is a correlation between gas prices and miles driven, that would take a $5 in taxes to get up to that price point.
In reality, I think a gas tax of $3-$4 in the US might cut driving back to a 9K miles point.
But as Lamont point out, at 9K miles a year a hybrid or plug-in car doesn't make economic sense for most people — as long as those cars are being priced at a premium.
In reality, I think a gas tax of $3-$4 in the US might cut driving back to a 9K miles point.
Although work trips are only ~25% of all trips, they are a much larger share of VMT, due to the live-work gap.
I agree that gas is too cheap, but the bottom two income quintiles in this country would be in a world of hurt. The taxes must go up slowly, to enable alternatives to auto dependency to be emplaced.
Dano, you're right about the lower income folks being more negatively impacted by high gas prices. Before any gas taxes are increased, public transportation needs to be fully funded. Example: how much of the nation's population is effectively (note the word "effectively") served by rail? 15%? Buses are probably a bit better, perhaps 40%, but in sufficient quantities to outright eliminate the need for work commuting?
It would be patently unfair to raise gas taxes without buttressing our public transportation systems.
Americans have cut back on oil consumption about 800,000 barrels a day in the first half of this year. But global demand had been rising 1 to 1.5 million barrels a day each year for a while now. So unless the United States keeps reducing demand at this pace — which is obviously quite unlikely absent a major push to fuel-efficient or alternative fuel vehicles — we will very rapidly find ourselves back in the supply-demand mismatch that drove oil prices up to record levels in the first place.

Super Heroes
Think All the Good Ones Are Taken? Meet Three Hot Humanitarians
Founder of charity: water, which has funded 626 water projects in 11 developing nations
FORMER OCCUPATION: Nightclub promoter
LIVES IN: New York City
HIS HEROIC TRANSFORMATION: Throwing parties for the rich and fabulous, Harrison "woke up one day and realized I was miserable." He spent two years volunteering in Africa and decided "to connect the wealth of my friends here with the extreme need there." These days he sells wells "to people who used to buy expensive bottles of vodka. Now I can get kids who are sick with waterborne diseases clean water. It's humbling."
HIS IDEA OF A GOOD TIME: "Going to villages without clean water, then raising money to help. I'm now dating someone doing the same thing I do after working together 100 hours a week."
WEB SITE: www.charitywater.org
Teaches kids how to row—and succeed in school—at his nonprofit, the Chicago Training Center
FORMER OCCUPATION: Competitive college rower
LIVES IN: Chicago
HOW HE'S HEROIC: Butsch knew crew was a great sport, but also an expensive one. After attending Oxford he returned home and raised money to buy two rowing boats for use by underprivileged teens. "They got past the idea that this was a sport for elite kids pretty fast," says Butsch. "Now they wear a badge of pride." But he wanted them to have more.

This boot is good quality leather but very full in the ankle with a normal sized calf so any movement makes it buckle at the ankle and makes a normal ankle look thick!

I cannot say enough good things about these boots. Having gone through major foot issues, including surgery, I just cannot wear high heels anymore. Finding fashionable footwear that has a reasonable heel height is very challenging. These boots hit the mark! The heel is a good height and because it is thinner, it gives the illusion of being higher. The platform takes some stress off the heel and looks very elegant due to the tapering effect at the toe. This also makes pushing off the toe when walking easier and does not look as clunky as other platforms that are all the same width. The leather color is highly saturated and the chocolate brown looks high end. They do scrunch at the ankles, but I believe this is intended to be the style as with other boots like this style. The most important thing is that these boots are extremely comfortable. No breaking in needed. Great buy and I am very pleased with this purchase.

I was hesitant to buy a Rockport boot because I figured it wouldn't be as stylish as I would want. I was wrong! This boot is not only comfortable but super cute. I usually buy Donald Pliner and Stuart Weitzman. This boots fits in with those brands in my closet just fine. Love IT. Also, I have a muscular calf and sometimes have trouble getting the zipper up on tall boots. Extended calf sizes are too large for me, though. This one fit perfectly.

I love these boots. They are extremely comfortable and the heel and platform is stylish and not too high. They are well made and perfect when I want boots that are simple (no buckles, etc) and sleek. I have worn them with skirts and dresses with dark hose and tights. I have worn them all day into the evening and my feet did not hurt! I am glad that I bought them.

I love these boots. They are so comfortable due to the wedge on the front, I am able to wear them all day, for work, traveling through airports, running from meeting to meeting and my feet never get sore. They are also very cute. They look higher than they feel and they have a non-slip sole which is always great in Boston/New York in the winter. Would highly recommend these boots!

The cap has a magnet that clicks into place to keep it capped in my purse.
I love the black cherry flavor (Roserin) that is faint and not overpowering. I'm not sure if other flavors are the same.
It won't bleed around my lips but will make an imprint on my glass.

- Good Jacket... But Could Be Great! (Review by Juskuz)
I purchased this jacket fully knowing what I was getting into. As it is, the Helium HD is a great lightweight jacket. It made well, fits well, and does everything you'd expect it to. It's nothing special. However, I'd like to make a suggestion...
What I really want from OR is a Helium type jacket, with torso flow venting that stops just below the arm pits, a halo hood, chest and hand pockets, drawcord waist, adjustable cuffs with elastic, and molded (vislon type) zippers throughout.
Or... go out an make something even more awesome than the jacket I envision. But, just consider that some people want a jacket that's as light as possible, but doesn't skimp on features.
The Helium HD is close... But why ditch the elastic in the cuffs? Also... pit zips were included, but why not TorsoFlo? This is one of your best features and you could end them just below the armpits. No one ever opens them up further than that anyway. And get rid of all the coil zippers. They're crap... molded zips are the only way to go. I'd gladly take a 10 or 10.5 oz jacket with these features.
I want the jacket I want to be as light and as functional as possible. I hate having to choose between an awesome jacket that's heavy, and a compromised jacket that's light.

- Great jacket (Review by AMTC)
I have owned this jacket for a little over a year. I have been caught in rain,sleet, high winds and hail. It has performed very well each time. The only thing I would change is adding a strap to secure the hood.

- Great shell, easy to pack (Review by Jared )
Came in handy for getting caught in a rain storm in Boston. Jacket was great at keeping me dry. The fit of the jacket allows for a good range of motion and does not restrict movement. The ability to compact the jacket into itself allows one to keep it on them at all times. I have one to throw in a backpack just in case, as well as putting one in a Bug-out bag without taking up much space.

- Perfect (Review by Derek)
Just got my jacket size XL. Perfect fit for 6" 4" 230 pounds with tall torso. Packs down small in its own pocket. Spent a half hour in torrential downpour at amusement park. My wallet and phone were bone dry in pockets. Works perfect, great hood for visibility. Love it.

- My new go to shell (Review by traileric)
Last weekend we got a few heavy doses of Cascade showers during our hike. Wind blown rain while toiled up a trail so steep I could reach out and touch it. I got to the top and was amazed to be dry inside my Helium HD. My previous shells were waterproof but held in the sweat from the workout like a steamy tamale. Not the Helium HD! It really delivers on waterproof and breathable. It has all adjustments and features of much heavier shells. The hood fits great. All the seams and zippers work well. OR put it all into such a light shell. This is in my pack for every hike and xc ski.!

- An incredible shell! (Review by traileq)
This jacket was so light when I pulled it out of the box! I was surprised to find a full featured rain shell.A fully adjustable hood, pit zips, lots of pockets. The fit is great with sleeves long enough to pull my hands in. I've use it on a few rainy trails. 40 degrees, wind whipped rain on top of Mt. Townsend. No views but with the HD shell over my R1 base I was snug all through lunch and the hike back to the tree line. The combination of this shell with a great base layer is an excellent experience. Everything is well made and feels like it will last for years.

- Winner (Review by Blake)
This is a great jacket. I used to use a Marmot Mica and the Helium HD beats it hands down. Longer pit zips, better pocket placement, and a hood that actually holds its form. Brilliant. I gave the Mica to my father-in-law and thanks to OR I do not need to find another rain jacket. It will be with me on all my trips into Glacier National Park.

- Great Product (Review by momoneymoGEAR)
I bought the black large, I'm 6'2" 180 slender athletic build, 32" waist, 39" chest with a long torso, fits great. The jacket has a slim fit, but enough room for me to layer comfortably underneath with my Patagonia Nano puff, a microdown or fleece vest, and thin base layers. I like things to fit kinda tight and this is perfect for me. Not restricting, but not loose either. One complaint is that the arms run a bit long. I have long arms and these seemed just a tad too long. The velcro makes it fine though, so its definitely not a deal breaker. The material is a perfect medium between a typical rain jacket, and those see through uber lightweight rain shells. It's very light and packs nicely into its own pocket (about the size of an orange), but feels like it could stand up to branches and other trail abuse if need be. Some people have been asking about the hood being helmet compatible. I have not tested this, but there is a lot of room up there, and if your wearing a smallish helmet (mountaineering or smaller ski) you should not have a problem. Water and wind resistance has been perfect, completely dry and warm on hikes/fishing up in the rockies, even in downpours. It looks great, the blue OR on the lapel is a good accent. I probably would have gotten the blue if I want going to use it mostly while I fly fish. All in all, this is a FANTASTIC LITTLE JACKET, and whenever I am out anywhere from now on, this little ass kicker will be with me.
Great look
Great Fit
Functions fantastic
Warranty (OR rocks in this department)
(Guessing) Odd fit for someone with a gut...just sayin...

- Blown Away! (Review by andasound)
I have used rain jackets from Marmot for years and I decided to get a new jacket. My first thought was the Super Mica from Marmot, but I decided to give this new product a try. I saw the review of the Helium II on OutdoorGearLab and the only thing I wanted was a jacket with more features. The Helium HD is that jacket. It is super light, comfy, breathable, and performs better than any rain jacket I have ever used. I had to guess on ordering the correct size because I am normally between a medium and a large. I ordered the large and it fit perfectly. OR has won me over and I can't wait to get more of their products!

- Best Shell Ever (Review by Brian)
This shell is great for biking, hiking, splitboarding, or everyday wear. It packs away into it's own breast pocket. I leave it in my pannier for my everyday commute to school. The hood tightens around my skull for a custom fit. I used it while biking in snow/ice in Montana. I was complete dry, works best with a lite puffy or fleece for warmth. Recommend for anyone that wants a reliable shell for every activity.

Clinton in hot seat over Benghazi
- From: AP
- January 24, 2013
SECRETARY of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told Congress overnight that she is committed to improving security at US diplomatic missions worldwide.
In her last formal congressional testimony as America's top diplomat, Mrs Clinton once again took full responsibility for the department's missteps leading up to assault at the US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, on September 11 last year that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.
Mrs Clinton's testimony, at times emotional and fierce, was focusing on the Libya attack after more than three months of Republican charges that the Obama administration ignored signs of a deteriorating security situation there and cast an act of terrorism as mere protests over an anti-Muslim video in the heat of a presidential election. Washington officials suspect that militants linked to al-Qaida carried out the attack.
Mrs Clinton, who sought the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008, is the subject of constant speculation she might be a candidate again in 2016.
As she began her testimony her voiced cracked at times and she said her experience sometimes was personal.
"I stood next to President Obama as the Marines carried those flag-draped caskets off the plane at Andrews. I put my arms around the mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, sons and daughters," she told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee at a jam-packed hearing.
Her voice rising at another point, she defended UN Ambassador Susan Rice, who was vilified for widely debunked claims five days after the attack that protests precipitated the raid rather than terrorism. She challenged the Republican focus on Ms Rice's comments, which were based on intelligence talking points.
"The fact is we had four dead Americans. Was it because of a protest? Or was it because of guys out for a walk one night who decided they'd go kill some Americans? What difference, at this point, does it make?'' a clearly exasperated Mrs Clinton told Senator Ron Johnson, a Republican. "It is our job to figure out what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again, Senator."
She insisted that "people were trying in real time to get to the best information," and that her focus was on looking ahead on how to improve security rather than revisiting the talking points and Ms Rice's television appearance. Mounting Republican criticism of Ms Rice forced her to withdraw her name as a possible successor to Mrs Clinton .
Mrs Clinton said the department is implementing the 29 recommendations of an independent review board that harshly criticised the department as well as going above and beyond the proposals, with a special focus on high-threat posts.
The review board report faulted "systematic failures and leadership and management deficiencies at senior levels within two bureaus of the State Department" and four employees were put on administrative leave.
"Nobody is more committed to getting this right," she said. "I am determined to leave the State Department and our country safer, stronger, and more secure."
Three weeks after her release from a New York hospital, Mrs Clinton was at times defiant, complimentary and willing to chastise lawmakers. She will appear before the committee tomorrow to introduce her likely successor, Senator John Kerry, a Democrat.
Mrs Clinton refused to back down from withering Republican criticism of the Obama administration's shifting explanations about the assault.
Senator John McCain, a Republican and a Clinton friend in the Senate, offered praise along with complaints.
"It's wonderful to see you in good health and combative as ever," Senator McCain told a visibly slimmer Mrs Clinton, whose planned testimony last month was delayed because of her illness.
In the same breath, he dismissed her explanation of events, the administration's response to warning about the deteriorating security situation in Libya and even the attention paid to Libya after rebels toppled strongman Muammar Gaddafi.
For her part, Mrs Clinton complained about the congressional holds placed on foreign aid and bilateral assistance. "We have to get our act together," she told the panel.
Her testimony focused not only on the attack but the growing threat from extremists in northern Africa, pointing out that Libya was not an isolated incident.
"The Arab revolutions have scrambled power dynamics and shattered security forces across the region," she said. "And instability in Mali has created an expanding safe haven for terrorists who look to extend their influence and plot further attacks of the kind we saw just last week in Algeria."
She said the Obama administration is pressing for a greater understanding of the hostage-taking there and rescue effort that left three Americans dead.
Mrs Clinton parried tough questions from Republicans, offering a detailed timeline of events on September 11 and the Obama administration efforts to aid the Americans in Libya while simultaneously dealing with protests in Cairo and other countries.
Republican lawmakers repeatedly questioned Mrs Clinton about whether she had seen earlier requests for beefed-up security.
"I did not see these requests. They did not come to me. I did not approve them. I did not deny them," she said.
She took House Republicans to task for recently stripping $US1 billion ($A950 billion) in security aid from the hurricane relief bill and the Senate panel for failing for years to produce an authorisation bill.
In something of a valedictory, Mrs Clinton noted her robust itinerary in four years and her work, nearly 1.6 million kilometres and 112 countries.
"My faith in our country and our future is stronger than ever. Every time that blue and white airplane carrying the words "United States of America" touches down in some far-off capital, I feel again the honour it is to represent the world's indispensable nation. And I am confident that, with your help, we will continue to keep the United States safe, strong, and exceptional."
Mrs Clinton is the sole witness at back-to-back hearings before the Senate and House foreign policy panels on the September raid.
Mrs Clinton had been scheduled to testify before Congress last month, but an illness, a concussion and a blood clot near her brain forced her to postpone her appearance.
Absent from the hearing was Senator Kerry, the man tapped to succeed Mrs Clinton. His swift Senate confirmation is widely expected, with his confirmation hearing scheduled for Thursday. Senator Bob Menendez, a Democrat and the incoming chairman, presided over the hearing.
The former first lady and New York senator - a sometimes polarising figure - is about to end her four-year tenure at the State Department with high favourable ratings.
A poll early last month by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press found 65 per cent of Americans held a favorable impression of Clinton, compared with 29 per cent unfavorable.
On the panel at the hearing were two possible 2016 Republican presidential candidates - Florida's Marco Rubio and Kentucky's Rand Paul, a new member of the committee.
Mrs Clinton did little to quiet the presidential chatter earlier this month when she returned to work at the State Department after her illness. On the subject of retirement, she said, "I don't know if that is a word I would use, but certainly stepping off the very fast track for a little while."

This would be an easy fix, except, W3TC is looking in the wrong place. For the wp-config.php file it looks in the right spot:
File: /home3/<username>/public_html/wp-config.php File permissions are 644 File owner: partney2:partney2
But for the .htaccess file its looking in /:
File: /.htaccess File permissions are 0, however they should be 644. File owner: root:root
the real .htaccess file in /home3/<username>/public_html is set to 644 and is owned by my own username.

"Saagar's Lillehammer pages" Top 5 Page for this destination Lillehammer by Saagar
Lillehammer Travel Guide: 141 reviews and 333 photos
Yes, I still consider Lillehammer my home town, having lived here most of my life. Now, however, suburbish Asker near Oslo is my main anchorage. The info you get here is from a local, really, not a casual visitor.
What I hope my pages and tips here can offer you are experiences and activities with a slightly adventurous slant, on a budget. Things you can also do without necessarily depending on a car.
Lillehammer is not an old town, the designation as a trading town was first given in 1827. Most of the historic buildings that frame Storgaten main street are mid- to late 1800s. The town was very compact, but now spilling over its old frame as it attracts new industries and continue to grow as the focal trading and public sector centre of Gudbrandsdal and Gausdal valleys, and at a strategic location at the northern end of Norway's largest lake, Mj�sa.
The town is a curious mix of the introvert, Norwegian style with and international edge to life here. Since organising the 1994 Winter Olympics, the university and businesses with an international outlook have grown considerably. Tourism has levelled out after the Olympics, but remains a strong component to the atmosphere of the town as it has been since the beginnings when Lillehammer was a resort and reconvalesence town because of its ozone-rich air.
Lillehammer is generally a very quiet place, with periods of the year featuring different festivals, activities and events that punctuate the quiet. Especially the annual sports events like the Birkebeiner mountain bike race, the Birkebeiner and Inga-Laami ski races and the World cup in ski jumping cause a stir. But also the blues festival, the jazz festival, and the literature festival, add to the seasonal flavours of town. There are university students and military recruits that flock to town and put their mark on town as well.
Get into the forests and mountains of Lillehammer's east side by a quick bus ride. Just a couple of kilometres from the city centre you find wilderness areas, forests, marshland and a bit further away, open mountains.
Along the Mesna River, from town all the way up to the Lake Mesna, you can enjoy pools, waterfalls, forest and some good hiking. Fishing is also possible (licence). On the forested plateau behind the Olympic ski jumping hill and just south from the ski stadium there is a small lake "Abbortjernet", totally and deliberately undeveloped, great for picnicing and swimming, away from it all. Warm water in the summer, opposed to that of the glacier-fed lake Mjosa and river Laagen.
The river Laagen that enters Mjosa Lake at Lillehammer has extremely good conditions for several species of fish. The greyling, in particular, is a good catch. You need a licence from one of the sports goods stores in town. Fishing from land is ok, best on the western bank. A boat or canoe is ideal in the delta, try to get hold of a boat via the tourist office or a sports gear shop.
In the winter, much more land is accessible, with the 400-kms ski trail network east and west of town. Again the best option is to take the bus from town east to Sjusjoen or Nordseter or north to Hafjell and set out from there. Skiing back to town can be good fun when you're done with the mountain trails. Easy skiing and you can make your own combinations according to your own speed, mood and physique - and the weather, of course. At the settlements mentioned there are hotels, more rustic pensions, restaurants and small shops catering for skiers and people who use their mountain cabins. I have one up there, too, and that keeps me locked on to Lillehammer!
Did you hear CBS during the '94 Olympics talk about the mountain village of Lillehammer? Here's the down side: the city center is only about 170 meters above sea level... But, come on, it's more than a village, it's a decent, two-street town!
Focus on the main street, Storgaten, and the parallel street closer to the railway station, Kirkegaten, and you've got it. Then there are some intersecting streets. Most of the "action" is on Storgaten, which is for the most part a pedestrian zone. Here you find most things of visitor interest, such as some key shops, restaurants, cafes and benches to sit on to just watch the Lillehammerians paddle on with their lives. There are some nice museums and galleries to see.
On the next level up from town - like a terrace, also in walking distance, are the Maihaugen and the Undset museums and two of Lillehammer's Olympic venues - for ice hockey and ski jumping.
Lillehammer is also a good place to stock up on sports gear, food and things for your hiking/ skiing/ mountain cabin tour, if your next stop is, say, Jotunheimen, Gausdal or Rondane mountains. If you are heading from the south (Oslo and the airport) you can forget shopping in Oslo, as most gear will be available in Lillehammer, and definitely more easily available. But, people here value their time more than extending service, so the town closes early for shopping. A shopping mall at the river side (down from the railway station) may serve you in a crisis!
Lillehammer is a student town, which means there is a comparatively lively retaurant and cafe scene. The side street to Storgaten, Elvegaten and generally around that area of the bridge and square you will have some of the cheapest eateries in town. The park in the southern part of town has a nice cafe.
If you look and head for the ugly landmark of the hospital, you are on straight course for the Maihaugen outdoor museum. There are several exhibitions, permanent as well as temporary, and a Maihaugen visit is always rewarding. What else? Check my tip section as it develops!
- Pros:Small-town, quaint Norway with a hint of an international flari
- Cons:Closes early, winter is a month longer than on the coast, can be quite cold during winter.
- In a nutshell:Well worth a couple of days' stop on an around Norway trip.

Perfect locaed, quite and charming. Very good restaurants around.
A nice hotel in the heart of the old town, clean, comfortable room, good breakfast served, very helpful staff, especially when supplying us with directions when we needed to get some unexpected essential items from the local supermarket and when we needed to order a last minute return taxi to the airport, because the train we were scheduled to get had been cancelled due to industrial action.
Welcoming staff. Good breakfast. Quiet place.
I wanted to do shopping in Strsbg and did not realise that Molsheim is so far without a car. Arriving late with friends who were at the Diana, we could not find a restaurant open in Molsheim. I would recommend this hotel to someone who has a transportation.
Parking facilities
No restaurant facilities in the evening.Rather difficult to find
Very good breakfast and dinner - Easy parking - Strasbourg proximity - Pool adapted to young child - Clean room - Design room - Charming staff
Very very noisy room - Paid wifi - Unconfortable bed - Did I say the room was noisy ?
A modern, comfortable room with best facilities
Staff was friendly and accommodating. They made every effort to communicate clearly despite not speaking very much English. My son thought it was cool to sleep in a bunk bed and compared it to our ferry cabin on the ferries we took on the Alaskan Marine Highway.
The beds were not very comfortable and the bathroom was super small. Water temps were very sensitive so it was tricky to find a balance so as to not freeze or scald yourself :).
You get what you pay for - a tiny cramped room with bunkbeds and a tiny bathroom in which the shower overflowed. We were by one of the landing doors which slammed all night - we literally got about an hours sleep.
Location is good. Good stop off point close to highways.
Cheap motel style rather than a hotel. Poor cleanliness overall (although to be fair - the bed linen was fresh and clean). Fairly thick layer of dust in places created a poor overall impression.
Easy reach of the autostrada
The hotel was comfortable and suited our needs. Didn't eat there so could not comment on restaurant. About 20 mins outside Strasbourg, but easily accessible via bus and tram. Hotel receptionist very informative and helpful. would recommend it for price and convenience.
Nice staff, easy access, the room was clean except a bit of problem in the bathroom.
We used this hotel as a stop over on 2 Sep 2010 and again on 26 Sep 2010. On both dates we found the staff very helpful and the hotel easy to find and avery welcome stop on our route to and from Italy.
A very nice place to stop off on route to italy. Will use again and reccomend to friends
Good location (not far from Strasbourg but in countryside), very interesting old building with family atmosphere, comfortable good room, comfortable bed and duvets. Big parking, easy to find the place from the road.
Breakfast was unexpectingly poor (no warm food, no eggs, no forks and bowls for cereals..). If you want to dine in hotel's restaurant, you should book in advance - in our stay restaurant was fully booked. But there are many places to eat nearby, so it isn't really a problem.
place is good
no elevator
Relaxed family atmosphere, very welcoming, comfortable bed, good cuisine, would stay there again, excellent choice of hotel
very nice spa
service and refill at the breakfast buffet could be better
Beautiful location in the Alsace
Atomospher of this hotel was so nice
Due to extremely hot weather, it was difficult to manage sleeping in the room p
Nicely retouched DEcor, GreatBreakfast (9Euros too much if you eat modestly) and free Parking...there was an ancient printer downstairs and when it finally printed an illegible google map some little computer parts came out with the paper (they wanted .50 Euros per Page)
WIFI was often non-responsive trouble signing on, which had to be done repeatedly (the code changed all the time) we gave up in the end in our two night stay... there was a computer downstairs which helped...no Lift We were in room 14 three floors up...Nothing open in the town had to go to Obernai for shopping...We went to the Winstub de Manoir recommended by the staff, got ill after Escargo or Mushrooms? The cook seems to be a Family member ?????
Comfortable and friendly
Possibility to make a cup of coffee/tea in the room. Hairdryer in bathroom. Two restaurants just next to the hotel. Bus stop in front of the hotel. Parking space available.
A bit far from the centre, from 9 pm onwards buses do not circulate very often.
Being near Strasbourg. The public transportation made it easy to get into the city center.
It was located a bit far from the city center.
Nice comfortable room, nice stylish 17.century building
Not many regional cheese in the breatfast
Friendly staff, good value, central position in a lovely town, clean and comfortable.
The smoked-glass mirror on the wardrobe was impractical. a suitcase stand would have been helpful. minor points but small irritations on the day.
an easy to find hotel, clean and tidy room, and value for money considering the price paid.
Staff was friendly and helpful, has its own secured parking lot, and nearby public transportation into the Strasbourg city center.
Room was very simple and small, minimal amenities, but it was clean and quiet.

Going to your high school prom is a staple in American tradition and a night most girls dream about and anticipate, next to their wedding of course. It's a dream that sadly doesn't always become a reality for a lot of young girls, even more so with today's economy and ill-fated natural disasters.
After Hurricane Katrina affected the citizens of New Orleans, a passion to make prom dreams of affected teenage girls surged through the country and Prom Dresses For New Orleans began. Three years later, Hurricane Ike devastated the residents of Houston and the coastal cities of Texas. Just as generous people saw a need for young girls in New Orleans, the Lamplighter School in Dallas, Texas, saw the opportunity to help residents in their own state. For the 2009 prom season, a quest began to reach out to these young ladies and help make their prom not only happen, but make it a forever lasting memory.
Our great friend, Marie Connors, with the Dallas Market Center contacted us in the spring of 2010 and asked us to help make a few dreams come true, as the Lamplighter School was gearing up to help out again. Marie knows Night Moves loves the opportunity to give back and we jumped at the chance to get involved with an outstanding cause such as this one. Night Moves was able to send approximately 25 gowns to the young women of the Houston area.
We were thrilled to find a package in the mail several months later with a thank you note and pictures of the young ladies trying on the gowns we had donated. We wanted to take the time and share this extraordinary story with you, along with pictures of the girls and representatives from Night Moves and the Lamplighter School.

I have a client who now has five different websites for five countries/languages. The sites look the same and share a lot of content, but not all. For each country I have to be able to modify the page content, for instance, wether or not a certain block is visible or not, different images etc.
Is there a way/a plugin that makes this possible? Of course I could hide certain blocks with css, but that's not how I would like this to work.
