Good value

I drink a lot of expensive tea, such as yunnan gold needle tea and Sri Lankan needle tea. I think I can say that this tea is nearly as good, and the lemon and homey flavours are just right. Drink it hit or add a tea bag to a bottle of cold water - and this non-bitter tea will have you sipping all day. Good for your tounge and your immune system.
Exellent taste!

I was really surprise to taste the green tea and all flavours mentionned. The taste is mild and not overpowering or tasting non natural. I drink it without sugar, it's really pleasant I recommend it!
Oh! Honey

Assistance deadline extended to June 17
Published: Monday, June 6, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, June 6, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
The deadline to file for disaster assistance from the state due to the hurricanes last fall has been extended to June 17. Applications are being accepted at the Henderson County center of the Cooperative Extension through Operation Brighter Day, the governor's program to provide one-stop application services through Cooperative Extension centers in affected counties. The deadline was extended to allow residents more time to request assistance.
Henderson County's Cooperative Extension center is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Farmers needing special hours should call and make an appointment.
Those who need assistance filing an application should call 697-4891 to schedule an appointment and to learn what to bring when filing for assistance.

Nevada nurses hope a new pilot mentoring program will do at least two things: help new nurses navigate the transition from school to practice and help experienced nurses remember their own excitement about the profession.
Nurses in the Nevada Nurses Association Mentoring Project, sponsored by a grant from the American Nurses Association, are matched with newly licensed nurses according to the profiles mentors and mentees complete. Then the partners communicate through email about any questions or problems the mentees have. It takes a commitment of only 15 minutes a week for eight weeks by nurses with at least three years experience.
Nurses who have just graduated and are facing the real-life challenges of their first shifts often are left "without the parachute" of a classroom environment, said Denise Ogletree McGuinn, RN, APN, who is one of the mentors and the director of the program. "Its a critical time," she said. "They need someone who can take them by the hand and tell them what theyre feeling is normal."
Networking can be difficult, especially in Nevada where vast open spaces separate large population centers. Nurses with questions about a particular specialty may have to travel a long way to mingle with someone in their field.
For experienced nurses its a chance to remember why they chose nursing in the first place and an opportunity to "rediscover our joy," McGuinn said. For struggling nurses, she said having someone to turn to who is not a boss or co-worker can be "like a hot bowl of macaroni and cheese."
By early September, 10 matches had been made and five mentors were awaiting mentees. McGuinn said they are hoping for at least 250 matches in the next month.
The hope of the program is not only to help nurses through the early years, but also to get them engaged in their profession and ready to help the people who come after them. "These are our leaders of tomorrow," McGuinn said.
Nurses interested in participating should sign up by early October. Mentors and mentees can sign up at www.NVnurses.org by clicking on "NNA announces New Graduate Mentoring Project" under announcements.

My Art Sucks -Article Stamp by =DoItForTheLulz makes me feel more confident and happy about my own art, because it made me realize, that I CAN get better, and I hope other deviants can feel that way too if they see this stamp.
[dA related > Deviant Stamps] ( Suggested by Zelir and Featured by ginkgografix )
[dA related > Deviant Stamps] ( Suggested by Zelir and Featured by ginkgografix )
This stamp encourages people who think their art is horrible, many artist always say in their comments "My art sucks"and almost never say "I will get better". This is truly an amazing stamp that encourages people to like what they do. This stamp deserves attention. A lots of people don't give enough attention to try and be better, many people can be encouraged to get better, so many people are very pessimistic. The award that this deviation got was spot on. If you keep more like this coming more artist will have a better time doing their art. Thank you for this deviation.
The Artist thought this was FAIR
253 out of 263 deviants thought this was fair.
I would, but I hate lying.
Lol, I always forget this, but I feel it goes without saying.
This really does make me feel better about myself.
I need t remember this. Thank you!
I love your username
Does anyone still have the link to the article?
Thank you for making this now a feel a little more inspired to draw!Thanks!
Still the best most encouraging thing I've ever come across. Ever.
So hard not to hate my art and then myself because it's all I'm good at and it's not good enough according to my own standards yet.

This is really something I need to say more often. And congrats on the DD!
I do this kind of thing, all the time. Most of the time, I rant about the anatomy and sometimes the shading, yet if I don't keep drawing, how else will I get better?
huh.. this actually kind of friendly
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
One man's trash (ugly) is another man's treasure (beauty).
Never say never.
One man's trash (ugly) is another man's treasure (beauty).

my art is shit and i'm proud
I really like this nice work.
My art sucks, and always will. Lol.
I always like to try to get better for the friends I made here,so this is a great stamp to remind me.
I feel this way usually.
Thank you.
My poetry sucks, but it will improve until it's burried with me.
you know, I saw this thing in the necesary moment =.=
It's sad when a person with the heart and potential to make awesome artworks gets frustrated and gives up something that could bring out so much, expressing his feelings and personality in such a beautiful way. That's what comes into my mind when I have a bad drawing day. I would regret it eternally to despise the thing I love to do the most. Drawing. <3
I also support drawings that look like a seven year old drew them!
I sometimes feel that my art skills started sucking up on me, but this awesome stamp made me think otherwise. In other words: True dat.
I totally agree! I hate when people just can't stop putting themselves down about their art! Saying "my art sucks" is basically just asking for attention so that people will say "no it doesn't!" and shower you with compliments. But saying "My art sucks right now, but I will get better with more practice" shows that you are aware that you're not amazing, so it shows modesty, and it also shows confidence in your future abilities that will come with practice.
So do you read thoughts? People who say "my art sucks" are just expressing themselves, their frustration. If others are eager in replying "no it doesn't!" that's their problem. How do you know they aren't practing? Nobody has to say such a gigantic sentence after a terrible week, specially at the end of a stressful day full of work just to show something to people who lacks so much imagination or thought.
I was just saying what I've noticed. The people who I personally know who complain about their art tend to be the big attention seekers, and because they put themselves down all the time, they give up frequently and don't practice. Therefore they don't improve quickly, and it just turns into a big endless circle of frustration. If one is optimistic, I've witnessed, they tend to dedicate themselves more to their art and end up becoming very experienced artists quite quickly. I didn't write that comment rashly or without any evidence to my argument. I'm sure not everyone who complains about their art is like that, but that has been the trend that I have noticed in my own observations.
I found I did this a lot, and unfortunately, still do. In my opinion, it is an attention seeker.
Well said!
aw~ haha i always say my artwork sucks xD but this stamp is just so cute X3 i made a deal with my friend that once i got 5,000pgvs (which i already got =w= ) i would stop saying that xD
I feel that most people say this just to get people to say "naww nawwwww you're great!"
honestly, how would they react if you agreed?
honestly, how would they react if you agreed?
I need to say this! I often think my art sucks, but then I look back at my early stuff (which truly did suck) and then look at my newer stuff, and see that it has improved. I know I'm not the best artist, but I know I'm not the worst, and I ENJOY drawing and I intend to keep doing it
I'm totally going to link people to this when they say that.
I like it. I'm sure a lot of people have a tendency to self-deprecate and this is a little reminder to temper that with some optimism.
No shit. I can take one of my drawings from last year, hell, i can take one from 3 months ago, and you can SEE the improvements. It makes me so goddamn fucking happy. Because then i think about how much i could improve in 2 years, or 5 years, or 10 years.
When I first started drawing....I wasn't the greatest.
But if you look at stuff from the begining of the school year, compared to now....I'd say I did get better!

no one has the right to say this word "sucks" .. no one sucks XD we all improve . gosh ppl nowaday r so fucking rude and mean .
Actually everyone has the right to say the word "sucks". As people have opinions.
but they dont have the right to be rude and hurt ppl .its ok to give opinions but not in a mean way
Fabulous!!! Thats the spirit!!!
I do this to cheer myself up when I don't improve when I want to (as if you can schedual improvement) or when I compare my art to better artists and get upset. It really helps to calm me down, like a self-peptalk.

2008 The Audacity of Hopelessness
posted by March 25 at 9:45 AMon
David Brooks on Hillary Clinton:
When you step back and think about it, she is amazing. She possesses the audacity of hopelessness.
Why does she go on like this? Does Clinton privately believe that Obama is so incompetent that only she can deliver the policies they both support? Is she simply selfish, and willing to put her party through agony for the sake of her slender chance?

A-Rod's Bat Awakens in the Bronx
Alex Rodriguez arrived at Yankee Stadium this morning as the lesser quarter-billion-dollar slugger in the building. While Albert Pujols sat at the podium and fielded questions about his slow start, Rodriguez quietly went about his business through the early morning.
No one was drawing comparisons between the two mashers with the 10-year contracts. Pujols is still in the prime of his career, anchoring his Angels club until 2021.
In his 19th season, Rodriguez is slipping down the slope from elite to very good, and after so many years with the spotlight squarely on Rodriguez, the attention is going elsewhere, to Pujols and others.
"It's kind of a different role," Rodriguez admitted. "I'm actually enjoying laying in the weeds and letting other players get the big attention and the focus and I can go about my business. Kind of a new role."
When Rodriguez became newsworthy before the game, it was for something of a landmark moment—he was being moved out of his customary No. 4 spot in the lineup, and slotted third, with Robinson Cano replacing him at cleanup against right-handed pitching.
It's a mild demotion, but one that underscores that Cano is the one the Yankees now expect to clear the bases, and Rodriguez's skills in getting on base remain even as his power potential may decline.
But in certain moments, Rodriguez can still deliver home-run greatness. In New York's dominant 5-0 home opener win over the Los Angeles Angels, outfielder Nick Swisher provided a big three-run double and starter Hiroki Kuroda gave a dominant eight-inning shutout performance as the Yankees outclassed Pujols and his Angels.
Rodriguez, however, made history, hitting a massive 410-foot home run to dead center field, tying Ken Griffey Jr. for fifth place on the all-time home run list with 630 homers.
The names above him require no introduction: Willie Mays, Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Barry Bonds—rarified territory.
"It definitely means I'm getting old, that's for sure," Rodriguez said.
That he is. Rodriguez will turn 37 in July, yet his on-base plus slugging totals have declined for five straight years, from an otherworldly 1.067 in 2007 to an above-average .823 last season. Meanwhile, last year he played only 99 games due to a variety of injuries.
He is no longer mentioned in the same breath as Pujols and Miguel Cabrera (and some wonder if Pujols is beginning his own Rodriguez-ian decline), but his manager, Joe Girardi, thinks that the presence of other greats like Pujols in his ballpark can motivate Rodriguez to raise his game at times.
"Alex has been that guy, too, like Albert," Girardi said. "I think the great ones like to measure up against one another."
In the past, his homer tying Griffey might have gotten far more acclaim. But as Rodriguez chugs along toward some of baseball's most famous milestones, the excitement is muted.
Girardi said he was aware of Rodriguez's tying Griffey thanks to the efforts of Yankee PR, which does its best to sell the milestone.
They should—the Yankees built home-run "marketing" clauses into the 10-year contract extension Rodriguez signed in 2007, paying him $6 million for each milestone home run he hits—660, 714, 755, and 762, based on the idea that the Yankees will realize more revenue from the milestone chase. So the team has incentive to build the fanfare around those moments.
Of course, that contract was signed in a different time before Rodriguez admitted he was a steroid user, and when Bonds had just broken Aaron's record months before. The idea of an untainted Yankee taking back that crown was intoxicating at the time.
Now, since Rodriguez's 2009 admission, it is unlikely anyone outside of the Tri-State Area will roll out the red carpet for him if he nears Bonds's home run record.
Rodriguez professes to be happy in the elder-statesman portion of his career, making a point to note that he learned how to play the game with Griffey, and is now trying to pass down those lessons to Robinson Cano.
Maybe Rodriguez will get back to being what he was, and earn his massive contract. More likely, he will continue to be very good and work to stay on the field, as an important part of a very good team. And if you believe him, he's OK with that.
Asked if he minded that everyone was talking about everyone else and their stats and contracts, instead of his, Rodriguez claimed to be pleased with it, and to be happy for the game at large.
"That's exciting. They've been doing a lot of that lately. Baseball's in a good place," he said.

Is it correct to say "It was not happened"? I have heard people saying "It was not happening" or "It didn't happen" but "It was not happened" is new to me.

The past progressive tense uses the past of to be with the present participle: "It was not happening". This tense is to say that something was - or in this case was not - happening continually over a period in the past.
The simple past is most often formed from the preterite form of the verb ("It happened"), but sometimes for emphasis, inversion of - as in this case - negation, it is formed with forms of do: "It didn't happen".
The form "It was not happened" doesn't match any construction for any tense, and is incorrect.
It is incorrect to say "It was not happened", because it is against the rules of tense - past tense, in this case.
It could be "It did not happen", in which case it will be simple past.
"It was not happening" is past continuous and differs in meaning from "It did not happen".
Hope the links will be of help to you.
The verb "happen" can not take a direct object, and it therefore has no passive form, so there is no "is/was/be happened" tense. There are a number of English verbs like this: occur, arise, and exist are some others. Here's a link with a short discussion.

text: I have a question about a particular case of light diffraction. A laser light collides into a "hairline" mirror (I mean a straight line mirror that halves the wavelength dimension), see the image below. It's placed on a black wall that could absorb the whole light. For these reasons I suppose that the mirror reflects the light because it's a mirror, but the light interferes because the mirror is a barrier. Then I ask, what is the real phenomenon that occurs?

Slump in Tax Revenue Creates State of Siege
Welcome to the General Motors economy.
U.S. states face a "lost decade," says Raymond Scheppach, head of the National Governors Association. The problem is a broken fiscal model exposed by the recession, and likely to extend the pain beyond the downturn's official conclusion.
GM's eventual bankruptcy was rooted largely in the award of ever-more-generous employee benefits, all paid for by cyclical car sales. States have similarly expanded the scope of services beyond their revenue-raising abilities. Some 55% of state revenue, before federal transfers, comes from personal and corporate income tax and sales tax, according to Donald Boyd at the Nelson A. Rockefeller Institute of Government. All three get killed in a downturn, and the first three quarters of 2009 were the worst for state tax receipts since at least 1963.
Expenditures are harder to rein in. States projected a collective $145.9 billion budget gap for fiscal year 2010, which began in July, equivalent to 9.2% of the previous year's total state expenditures. Apart from voter backlash against cuts, the economic cycle raises spending as the newly unemployed turn to government programs like Medicaid for help. The result is a lagged effect on state finances, with tax revenues usually taking as long as five years to reattain prior peaks, according to Mr. Boyd.
Since states can't run general funding deficits, closing gaps mean raising taxes, cutting services and resorting to one-time measures. No prizes for guessing which option politicians prefer. A big one is $246 billion of stimulus transfers from Washington. More than half of this pot will have been spent by the end of this year. And while states had estimated rainy-day funds of $36.5 billion in fiscal year 2009, it is likely they have since drawn them down significantly.
Besides the near-term crisis, the other similarity states have with the old GM is an overhang of debt. Between 2000 and 2008, state debts—distinct from other municipal debts—almost doubled to about $1 trillion, according to the Census Bureau. However, that is only 7% of gross domestic product, and low rates mean interest charges have been manageable, reaching $47 billion, or 3.7% of total expenditures, in 2008.
The bigger issue is retirement obligations. Like GM, many localities have struck generous deals with public-sector workers. In part, this reflected a desire to appease unions with promises for tomorrow that didn't have to be paid for until well after the next election. In a new study, the Pew Center on the States estimates there was a $1 trillion funding gap on $3.35 trillion of state health-care and retirement obligations as of fiscal year 2008.
Reform of these, as well as the out-of-date, volatile revenue-raising mechanisms that fund them, is long overdue. Just don't expect it to happen quickly: 37 governors' seats are up for election this year.
In the meantime, states will scrimp as much as they can, and raise fees and taxes to balance budgets. State defaults remain unlikely, but as their ability to help localities is constrained, holders of bonds issued by cities, public projects and other smaller entities should beware.
The wider issue is the drag on economic growth. Median household income was stagnant in the last economic up-cycle, a big reason why so many borrowed against their homes to maintain living standards. That option is now severely constrained, and higher taxes and reduced government services will serve to erode disposable income and living standards further. Consumers, and the cyclical stocks that take their cue from them, face an extended period of Capitol punishment.

I have said this before - The secret about "Shaving Shop" is its simplicity - a great every day all rounder that leaves a great clean scent on the skin - the Jasmin gives the classico/luxury note...
Great great barber houses in this area - Taylor - Trumper and Trueffit - that is why we call them the 3 T's.
Different styles - scents - markets etc....
What I do prefer about Taylor is first of...
"Shaving shop" by Taylors of old bond street
Shaving shop is the one to get from Taylor of old bond street - simply elegant - any style anytime !!
Another great little numbre from C&E - got the sample by post - by request from their website.
I find this one Modern - Happy - Sparkling - Sunny - Fresh, with a great life one the skin.
Women and...
Yankee candle are a real treat I must say - yes the large jar has to burn at least three hours to minimise the side wax residue
The choice is huge - Midsummer Night is right for a men's interior...
Midsummers Night from Yankee candle - famously for me
I adore midsummer night from Yankee - a men's house finally can smell masculin
Their best choice - and yes it as got a Drakkar Noir feel !!!
A grand sensation but yes it is descontinued
However they have some amaising creations Old - New - Classic
For me JF is the right choice for a all year round signature - pure class !!
it is a very masculine fragrance - grown up and not for the metrosexual type !!!
Away from all the "lovely" and "light" colognes - this one has got a little bit of testosterone on the edges
yes they did this horrible crime !!! and I have emailed them to to tell them so !!
JF by Floris - signature - understated - discreet and classic.
Great quality product but not worth the price
well it is obvious
This is for sure the "Harrods" signature scent created by Floris - it does not mean that it is part the Floris line at all !!!
FRANCE from Molinard is the spicy classic Eau de Cologne
a great s and simple fragrance - there on its own - I dont wear it but it is a great scent
the original is/was great - a bit dated !!
what a shame it is such a great scent !!
easy one
angel men and women by mugler
coudl be because people put it on far too much - ii goes straight to...
MMMmmmm so if I like wine and keep wine in my cellar and have a few glass a day ......... what does this make me ???
Over spraying is most of the time due to overspraying itself - the nose...
an old one DRAKKAR NOIR
Same here and I would only have one question
- what was your state of mind while creating Antaeus - where did your imagination comes from for this creation and how long did it take
..........I do...
......yes or use a good scented soap and nothing else !!
I only use Floris JF soap assorted with the EDT and nothing else -
I must say the luxury soaps do go a long way with all the moisturising benefits
Perfect choice - and great houses too !!
The multi billion £ or $ of perfume and cosmetic is in its full activity as we speak.
the bigger boxes - the most colored presentation are tempting our eyes ( I mean cash !!)
All houses are...
I do believe that the "inventor/nose" of this scent is taking the general public for a ride especailly with that GREAT WHITE BOTTLE
a reall WHITE ELEPHANT to me !!!
What kind of men would want...
I think like Food - a traditional knowledge and training is required and then you go your own way and be free
A simple thought but probably true
It is anything but an Angel
It is the SCENT that my body and especially my nose do reject
great question !!!
I would go for Chemistry from Clinique
c ya
Not all niche went over the top
Crabtree and Evelyn - Floris - etc.... still price very well
But what make me laugh is the regular houses 50ml bottles at £35.00 that makes a 100ml worth £70.00...
I think my predictions were rights guys
I predicted yesterday - as a joke that soon CNN presenters will have their Celebrity scent
And here we go - we are talking about it today
Well the...
I was amased by the amount of "CELEB" scents on the shelves coming this winter holidays
Some Celeb name had no face - I mean celeb in 2007 it is a good face with make up !!!
But Celeb is also ...
Interesting !!
Right if we look at the charactere - he is a warrior but has never been a super masculin type men (the story says more............)
Yes I would go for a strong Vetyver like...
I could not agree more
5 spray a day - and I can still smell it at night and on clothes - not reaplyed is the key I think. and it is not an oriental
The nose for sure do not get tired and...
I think what happened was - you probably over used you nose and Your head was heavy etc........
I do recommend using fragrance only once a day as normal - not reaplying - and nor overspraying...
I was a teenager in the 80s and the strengh of the juices during these years was STRONG STRONG STRONG
Poison - Antaeus - Kouros - Jacomo and the list goessssssssssss
We still talk a lot about...
Ohhh yes there is one
I have not worn Antaeus for a while - it is just so not NOW too strong a too much presence.
However Antaeus is in my opinion the most beautifull SCENT of all time.
intersting !!
Not sure what you mean by crappy bottle - a bottle is a bottle !!
I thing sober and simple is probably what you meant.
First thing that come to my mind is HOUSES / NICHE
impressive guys - it is a hobby for sure !!
Perfume maker and companies should come here and kiss your a.s - I mean you are their best customers !!!

At last you are making a full "page" about my baby
After sniffing a few houses - I have landed on Floris and on JF
A twisted timeless refreshing AND long lasting juice - modern and masculin
It seems to me that a new market of scent has emerged
I would call it the "QUICK SALES" market
A scent like "X factor" that would sell buckets for 6 months and then stops for good !!
I would...
hi all,
Simply Floris J.F. but simple it is not !!
C & E products are great I have the Nomad range and it is well made every day products
It is in the quind of middle upper range the eau de toilette is very well priced ..
Great great
I do agree with most of you - fleur de male is a bad choice
I must say
I do have a small penchant for Jf from floris - it is totaly easy to wear with a bitter twist to make it a bit different from the trend great
It Was Nomad Crabtree And Evelyn
I went for
JF Floris today and I think it is a great choice for spring and summer
it is Antaeus for me - with this one you can nearly play the famous silence of the lamb.............
- You normaly wear Antaeus but not today !!!! LOL
Love that question !!!
I would go for Floris - they seem to keep tradition - quality - image and prices range just right for 2007.
From soaps to Eau de toilettes everything has the right dose...
I was going to ask the same question !!!
It is amaizing what good quality scent can be purchased at great prices
The famous "Grasse" companies do offer great value - but Yves Rocher does offer...
Your skin and body chemistry turn THIS scent to an horrible smell.
Nothing wrong with you or the scent it is just incompatibility.
Does summer makes winter scents turn off ????
I personnaly...
Funny -
Never happened to me I suppose I am a "love at the first sniff" person.
My nose do not like two scents
Amen and Yardly gentleman - and I dont think this will ever change
Staying with Nomad from C & E - not a breakthrough but I do like the exotic bamboo in it - a good life, stays awake all day.
First of all a good quality eau de toilette in 2007 is affordable by EVERYBODY and it is CLASSLESS.
In my opinion the majority of the "high places" people sometimes choose very simple...
AS ALL french person know - Serge was an extremely intelligent calm and organised person AT HOME never had mess arround.
I think I would go for Vertyver from Guerlain all thoses beautifull women...
For sure she would wear
Shame she cannot find it at the moment - she will be forced to get it from ebay
yo all,
I am going to go for Nomad C&E today and why not
HI there,
Just discovered the "Nomad" Crabtree and Evelyn range for men as well as shamps and candles etc... great great quality.
The moisturising soap is very moisturising for a change - I...
Hi there,
Have you tried Malmaison from Floris super Classic and powdery !!
Happy New year
Nomad from Crabtree and evelyn
Antaeus is in my opinion the genious non linear scent.
Where are your thoughts when creating a scent like this ???
it is getting cold - but
Vetiver from Molinard will do the trick to warm up
A Spicy flowery oriental with a well balance of Vanilla
I go for Zinnia from floris
I am sorry to say - you have made a little mistake
Floris samples are free of charge if you call their sales department -
Floris are known to be very generous with there sample - they...
I will have to go for Zinnia from Floris it is Grand and Beautifull
Waou men I could not have put better
Exactly the same opinion - 1 bottle per house - simple timeless and smart
Hi all,
Just can not get tired of it Zinnia floris
I so agree - but also most of these classics are older style scents - since then
mens scents have become much closer to womens scents - this could be the reason.
I dont believe in outdated scents at all - some unfashionable scent are complitely wearable a bonus also nobody will wear it arround you !!!
To resume - if this scent is you ... wear it ...
Wore Zinnia Floris (flroral oriental) all summer amd it did just right !!!
I would get a good bargain from Yves rocher for exemple and wear the stuff for a while (must be at least 50%) discount to be a good buy !!!
hi all,
A great glycerin soap will leave a moisturising film on your skin great to keep scent alive - a soap like Pears is superb.
Hi all,
I do believe that in 2006 the fragrances choice is becoming very important so important that a lot of those new scents will be discontinued in a few years time - but also the buying...
Yes classic it is very nice
Well I dont think that a bottle of Chanel N'5 could make a whole in the cockpitt !!!!
Lets face it next month everything should go back to normal and all these mega shop at Heathrow will make...
I think Paco Rabanne for a while was "the scent" for men
And I agree ; eau sauvage and guerlain vetiver are in this categorie
I will agree with you.
80s fragrances will last ........... till you wash sometimes lol
But what is it - with the new stuff that are filling all these shelves ??? most of the time it does not...
One of them is " a Floris scent"
Lets not forget
Number 89 from Floris
it is a very manly sexy scent for sure.
Glad to hear from Floris
The Classic Collection is the one I really go for - they all are suitable for men and women and all are EXCLUSIVE.
My favorite and the one I wear is Zinnia but they...
Lets not forget that Maids in general help themselves on nice things on dressing tables - here we go and it is free !!!!
I am sure Catherine Deneuve's maid smell good and expensive - it...
What a great subject here.
I will agree with the visualisation of scents - yes I would see shapes and colors on all scents - but will hear nothin at all
Never thought about it - thank you...
I will never get the big fuss about this house
Oh dear,
That is a bit too complicated for me
One scent - meticulously chosen for 4 seasons for many years - possibly
Simply something I really love to smell on me and arround day after...

Bio: Jeffy Alexander (vocals) / Scott Simmons (guitar) / Adam Lunt (drums) / Chris Chrisman (bass)
Makes 20 cookies.
1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar

1 l...See Full Bio
"When it comes to dedication 20 Foot Forehead is that band, this is a band that has endured many obstacles and are living proof that the good guys get far. These are just that, good guys rockin' good music. I had the privilege of interviewing Jeff Alexander, vocalist for 2o Foot Forehead and what a great interview that was. Jeff endured a surgery near his vocal chords and is fortunate that he can still belt out the music as strong and powerful as he does. I was sent a copy of their CD titled "Let the Octopus…" and what a beauty that is. I highly recommend the songs "Phobia" and "When Angels Hate You". Those are my 2 favorites, but the whole album is really well put together and the band is solid."

In the United States of American we have to have the drug in a container that came from a pharmacy, written for the person who has the drug on them. This is the law if not one can be charge with having a prescription drug not in the correct container. Just when it became a law I do not know , you would have to ask a lawyer in the state you live in.

West Coast Wildernesss Way
Tasmania's rugged west coast is sparsely populated, astonishingly remote and notoriously wet. This four-day drive takes you from the tourist mecca of Cradle Mountain (1 on map) to the picturesque fishing village of Strahan ("Strawn") on the mighty Macquarie Harbour (2) – home of one of Tasmania's most notorious convict sites: Sarah Island. Highlights include the "Wild West" mining settlement of Queenstown (3), the Wilderness Steam Railway (which runs from Queenstown), vast stretches of temperate rainforest and the matchless Gordon River.
Download the free Telegraph Travel app to destinations worldwide: itunes.apple.com
East Coast Escape
No visit to Tasmania is complete without a stopover at Freycinet National Park and a chance to see the island's most photogenic stretch of coastline, Wineglass Bay. Kicking off in Hobart this five-day itinerary takes in all of the must-see spots on the east coast, including magical Maria Island (4) – a former convict prison, nature reserve and colonial folly. The journey continues north to the settlements of Bicheno (5) and St Helens and a ravishingly wild beach called the Bay of Fires (6).
Convict Trail
The ruins of Port Arthur hold a strong if slightly macabre appeal, and this four-day itinerary puts the so-called Model Prison (built in 1833) into its fully historical context. The trip begins in Hobart and follows the convict trail to Richmond, Coal River (7), now home to some of Tasmania's best cool-climate wineries, and onto Sorell (8) and its Tasmanian Devil Sanctuary. The journey finishes on the Port Arthur Peninsula (9), a place of outstanding natural beauty; don't miss the world's tallest sea cliffs. Allow plenty of time to explore the convict ruins, the warders' cottages and immaculate English-style gardens.

Stonewall Things to Do: 7 reviews and 28 photos
Grape Creek is but one of many vineyards in the area, and the one we just happened to stop at. This winery features cabenet, merlot, and Sauvignon Blanc wines. After sampling some of the wonderful offerings, we found a dry white perfectly fitted to our taste. Being there in March - there wasn't too much to visit other than the tasting room.

I have a Hitec HS422 servo with 2 Sharp sensors and a sensor-mounting bracket on top of it.I was wondering how much time it takes for the servo to travel 2°. And howmuch time it takes to travel 4°...The specs say:"- Speed (sec/60o): 0.16"So that's 60° travel in 0.16seconds. Does that mean that the time it takes to travel 2° is 0.16/30=5.3msOr is this not correct?
Won't mass have some kind of effect? Ie if the servo is stationary then it could take longer to move the first two degrees than the second two degrees?

When using the swipe-style of input that is available as part of the 8.1 update, how do I enter the word "too" instead of "to"? The best I've come up with is to swipe from the "t" to the "o", then click "too" in the suggestion bar, but don't feel that's optimal - I'd much rather swipe "too" directly somehow.
You can swipe consecutive letters by making an uninterrupted "circle" motion on the letter that needs to be duplicated. This may take some practice, but once you get used to it, is fairly intuitive.
So far as I know, this dictionary is "learning" - if you use "too" more than "to", it will automatically type the most used one. But there is no such an option in phone that allows you to customize this.

I'm developing a theme for woocommerce plugin (2.0.12) in wordpress (3.5.1).
In our woocommerce theme when I want to display cart details by using jQuery dialog loading with ajax. For the ajax code, I've used the shortcode for cart.
I want to update the cart contents within the box (with ajax of course). I've successfully tracked the cart buttons within the dialog-box and also have submitted the cart-form successfully via ajax within the box. But the updates are not executed.
Here is my ajax code for reference:
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
global $woocommerce;
<div class="thedialog" title="Cart Details">
<?php echo do_shortcode('[woocommerce_cart]'); ?>
My demo URL is:http://demo.pixelpoetics.net/ecommerce(Please click on the yellow 'cart' box on the top-left)
Thank you in advance.

Veterans share stories with students to preserve history
CAREFREE, AZ - When you see a crowd filled with veterans at a ceremony honoring their service, you realize how many men and women have given up everything for us.
"I haven't spoken about anything from Vietnam for years," said Lt. Col. John D. Wintersteen.
He decided to share his story with the Veterans Heritage Project, a non-profit group that connects veterans with middle and high school students who record their stories to share in a book that's sent to the Library of Congress.
"We archive them with the Veterans History Project in D.C. They have about 90,000 stories now on tape," said Barbara Hatch, with VHP.
These stories can change the lives of the students who record them.
"You start building these relationships and you find out there's something a little bit bigger than your little posse in high school," said student Ashley Durham.

Guest Post: Finding Little Empathy From the Employed
Gregory Lynn was a partner at Rev2 Technologies, an IT consulting firm, before his position was eliminated in the fall of 2009. Mr. Lynn, 46, was previously senior director of engineering at i-Drive. He earned an Executive M.B.A. at Santa Clara University's Leavey School of Business in 2005 and lives with his wife in San Jose, Calif.
I have been surprised when encountering people, both close to me and not, who seem to be unplugged from the true nature and character of the global unemployment crisis.
During a chat about how my search was progressing, a family member (who is nothing but supportive), asked me a lot of the traditional job search questions, like: 'Have you tried calling these folks?' or 'Have you looked at other roles or locations?' etc. A good friend did a similar thing a week later. These are normal questions, delivered with good intent but also with a bit of aloofness and detachment from the market conditions.
Now the family member is essentially retired, but does stay on top of the latest daily news and national events. My friend certainly does watch the news, but I believe there is this layer of insulation in being financially secure, or in a business that is less impacted, either in retirement or in a current job, that acts to subtly disconnect them from the real pain on the street encountered by job seekers.
Another extended family member who has also been on the hunt since June, took about three months after leaving a job to fully realize how hard the market is right now. Initially, my relative did not feel there was a problem, thinking 'I'll reach out to my usual sources, and something will materialize in relatively short order.' We exchanged emails and discussed how much the person was caught off guard. The jolt was enough to push my family member a little bit past frustration to anger directed to the marketplace.
Yet another person remarked on a professional networking service that even with the market, if you are good, you will find a job quickly. That person was the recipient of over a hundred responses to the contrary within days of the post for their complete lack of empathy and understanding of the conditions out here. In some of the responses there was a lack of appreciation for the global nature of the problem.
In my cases, instead of reacting, getting frustrated or angry at the detachment of others, I try to make them more aware of just where the job market is at right now. That upwards of millions of jobs were lost from 2007 to 2009, let alone jobs lost back in the 2002 dot-com crash that were not recovered, and that the trend is still on a downward slope regarding job creation when compared to the expanding unemployed pool, especially here in California.
Readers, have you found others to be empathetic to your job search? Share your thoughts in the comments section.

Yum, a lot of great flavor for just a little work not to mention that I'm wild about the low calorie load. I didn't change anything, just followed the recipe and was very happy at dinner time.
Wonderful, used peppers in place of peas - great sauce!
This was so good...very easy to prepare and the flavor was spot on. Made as posted and served it over white rice for a very flavorful dish. I did slice the baby carrots instead of quartering them. Thanks for posting. :)

Nothing squelches holiday spirit like a few hours of mall shopping during the busiest time of the year. To pick yourself up again, here's a tipple: seek refuge in a hotel bar and quench your cocktail thirst. Click in for our roundup of favorite places and potions.
The Chanler at Cliff Walk in Newport, Rhode Island gets in the holiday spirit with the hotel beautifully decorated for the season, and heart-warming cocktails too. The mansions of Vanderbilt, decked out in lights, are nearby and make a perfect post-drinks activity.
You can't go wrong at the Gramercy Park Hotel in New York City. Their Rose Bar is at once warm, inviting, hip and happening, and it's not everywhere you can sit in a Julian Schnabel-designed chair, gaze on a Jean-Michel Basquiat painting and sip a Christmas cocktail.
The Royalton New York has one of the sexier, moodier lobby lounges we've seen. Put down your shopping bags, take a tufted leather chair and, with drink in hand, watch the comings and goings.
At the Thompson Toronto, you can take your pick of three see-and-be-seen spots, but our favorite is the stylish rooftop lounge which offers a cool perspective on the city, and beautiful people adhering to a strict dress code, which includes no "tank tops (for men)" and "Bachelor/Bachelorette party sashes, masks, buttons, pins, hats, etc."
The Huntley in Santa Monica offers a few views to cocktail from at their Penthouse restaurant and bar. Have a four-person tête-à-tête by the fireplace, saddle up to the circular bar or take a booth by a window that looks out over the beach. The Santa Monica Pier isn't far if you need to walk off what you imbibed.
There's a bevy of bar options at Vancouver's Rosewood Hotel Georgia. The 1927 Lobby Lounge offers a delicious winter and classic cocktail menu, of which the namesake "Hotel Georgia" is a must-try. They also have some zero proof sippers for those abstaining (the "False Creek" passed our taste test with flying colors). There's also the award-winning Hawksworth Restaurant bar and lounge or casual Bel Café.
London Syon Park has a much lauded cocktail list. Kiwi Collection's Daniel Szelényi's tipple tip is to have a "Little Voices", it's his second most favorite cocktail.
The Connaught was awarded "World's Best Cocktail Bar" at Tales of the Cocktail's Annual Spirited Awards recently. Further proof, Food and Wine Magazine declared that it has the top two drink makers in London handling their extensive cocktail list. We love their Martinis.
The bar at Dukes London is supposedly where Ian Fleming invented "shaken, not stirred". But the best drink is the "Tiger Tanaka" made with ginger infused vodka.
The Artesian Bar at The Langham in London recently won "Best Hotel Bar" at the Annual Spirited Awards. Their "Langham Cobbler" is quite nice, especially sipped while seated in a cool, purple leather chaise.
At the Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire's Bar 1086—named after the year the estate was founded—drink in the room's soothing palette of cream and white, as well as a "Millionaires Martini", which is a bit like boozy lemonade. Camp yourself near the fire for a long winter's round of cocktails.
Prestonfield outside Edinburgh is where the late Queen Mum used to sneak in for her weekly G&T. Nurse your classic cocktail of choice in front of a fireplace in one of the cozy salons.
For après ski at Aurelio Lech in the Austrian Alps, Licca Lounge is where you kick up your tired feet, in front of the roaring fireplace preferably. They've got a great selection of grappa to bring out your inner Italian.
After your last ski run, the Le Portetta in Courchevel, France lets you get right to après with their Fire and Ice bar, as they describe it, "a new outdoor bar right at the bottom of the main piste with huge log burning fires, flaming torches, wood fired pizza oven, ice shots, fur snugs, [and] heated bar seating." Yes, please.
For a cool setting in the city, seek out the Mandarin Oriental Munich. They transform their rooftop into a ski chalet over the winter where they serve a variety of drinks.
If your New Year's resolutions include "learn a new skill", the Dylan in Dublin, Ireland can help. They offer two-hour cocktail masterclasses, where you sip, soak in tricks of the trade and shake up your own drink.

I often hear that Linux for PHP development should be better as on Windows. Is that really true? I'm interested in which OS do you use. So, what do you think about PHP development on Linux vs Windows or vs Mac? Which operating system supports which benefits in contrast to the other operating systems?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
closed as not constructive by Richard, Piskvor, mario, paxdiablo, Phil Aug 25 '11 at 10:06
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I would prefer Linux over Windows any day, and not just for web hosting. It's much easier to support and manage, and things are much more predictable. There's a reason why the "LAMP stack" (Linux + Apache + MySQL + PHP) got so popular; it just works! You can build an application with these components and reasonably expect to deploy it with a minimum of fuss at any hosting provider. A fresh installation of a Linux system is almost certain to include all of these components, working and ready to use immediately.
In contrast, PHP on Windows is not quite as smooth. Your choice of web server (usually Apache or IIS) will affect how you install PHP, and each choice has its own quirks. PHP+IIS by no means a trivial ride. Eschewing IIS means using Apache, another not-quite-native-to-Windows application, though it's fairly easy to get up and running.
We'd argue that there's no choice to be made, and that you should always use Linux. Insofar as it concerns us, the quality of support we can give you for PHP on Linux is far better; a Good Thing. PHP was made for Linux, so it works best there. The only times to consider Windows is if part of your application uses something Windows-specific (eg. COM).
Assuming you need to use Windows, what next?
If your question is only for the dev environment, it really doesn't matter as Piskvor said.
Yet, if you want to execute locally your website, you'd better choose the same environment as your users (Linux, Windows), especially if you want to build an IE-compatible website (even if possible, it would be harder to test on Linux).
PHP development does not require a high tech IDE to build quality applications. There are a number of version available on all platforms and the difference will be minimal.
Hosting the server software is in exactly the same situation.
The difference is minimal.

Miller backs England to retain Ashes
Geoff Miller is confident he has helped to pick a squad of match-winners for Australia, ready to emulate Mike Gatting's Ashes tourists of 1986-87 - the last ones to come home with the prized urn.
National selector Miller yesterday announced a 16-man party to try to retain the Ashes, won on home soil last summer.
The squad was most notable for the inclusion of Chris Tremlett and Monty Panesar as extra bowling options.
The Surrey fast bowler and Sussex left-arm spinner therefore have the opportunity to revive stalled Test careers.
They will do so, under the captaincy of Andrew Strauss, alongside a group of players Miller is convinced will do their country proud.
Asked if his squad is as strong as Gatting's, Miller was at first equivocal - and then definite.
"That is the million pound question," he began. "But yes I do (believe it). Why shouldn't it be?
"There are some quality players. It is a strong squad, and you have match-winners in there all the way down."
"If they all perform to potential there is no reason why we can't retain those Ashes."
Tremlett's first season with Surrey has seen him take 48 LV= County Championship Division Two wickets, and just as importantly, stay fit since May.
The 6ft 7in seamer is thought tailor-made, along with the even taller Steven Finn, for Australian pitches.
The man himself believes he has got his mind as well as his body right this year.
"From experience, I've thought about it [a Test return] too much at the wrong times," he said.
"I've gone back to Hampshire and not concentrated on my job. I've thought about it too much and tried too hard at times to get wickets.
"I've not thought about it this time; I've just found a way of doing it this season."
Tremlett insists he is a better, and happier, bowler than he was when he last played for his country in 2007.
"The biggest thing is the enjoyment. Last season I stopped enjoying it a little, and that's why I felt I needed a fresh start.
"I've loved every minute with Surrey. The team's had its ups and downs, but the boys and the coaching staff have been great. I think my confidence is as high as it's ever been.
"Getting through a full season without an injury is a big 'positive' - I don't think I've ever got through a full season before.
"I feel I'm a much better bowler than a couple of years ago. I hope to take that form over on the plane and go from there."
Tremlett is included in a pace quintet populated by Finn, Stuart Broad, James Anderson and Tim Bresnan - the latter at the expense of Ajmal Shahzad.
Bresnan's fellow Yorkshireman will be flying to Australia too, initially as cover for the full squad before the England Performance Programme - in which he was chosen yesterday - arrives.
Miller said: "Ajmal was very disappointed, and I would expect players to be disappointed when they are not selected.
"But there were areas that he needed to develop, where we felt he wasn't quite right. Tim got the nod."

The Twilight Years
The Paradox of Britain between the Wars
Richard Overy
Viking, $35, 522 pp.
This history of Great Britain between the World Wars chronicles the British response—social, intellectual, and cultural—to the crisis touched off by the catastrophic events of 1914–18. The Great War had shattered belief in progress, creating a morbid sense, especially pronounced among educated and politically engaged Britons, that the world was entering a new Dark Age. The mood of the day was one of gloom and doom. Civilization seemed hell-bent on doing itself in.
Richard Overy, a prolific historian who teaches at the University of Exeter, is having none of that. The Cassandras and Jeremiahs who flourished in the 1920s and 1930s turned out to be all wet. By treating them with more seriousness than they deserved, the British people talked themselves into an irrational and ill-advised funk.
Appearing at a moment rife with renewed predictions of decline and fall, The Twilight Years carries this subtext: wrong before, the naysayers are wrong again today. The "Western world has never been richer, more secure, or more heavily armed in its history," writes Overy. So relax. To make his case, Overy dissects—and finds wanting—various ideas, movements, and fads that found favor in interwar Britain. To judge from the prevailing intellectual climate, he writes, all was "anxiety, disillusionment, sterility, nihilism, and danger." Prominent and widely read historians like Arnold Toynbee forecast the inevitable collapse of Western civilization. Best-selling tracts...

I'm running Windows 8 Pro (x64) on my home desktop. Everything is working well (very very differently, but well) except for the Store application. Several days ago, I got an update notification that listed 8 application updates. I hit the link to install the updates, but only six of them installed.
Now I have Updates(2) showing in the store's notification area, and whenever I try to look for the updates the Store goes into "searching" mode (the circles/dots animation) and never finishes the search. Is there any way that I can reset the Store app? I have tried re-downloading it with no success.
