Running Recruitment Campaigns
Before you begin your campaign it is important to have a clear idea of what roles the club requires and the commitment you are asking the volunteer for.
Try to steer away from a long list of tasks required for the position. Use a role description as guidance for volunteers; try to make the role sound fun and not too daunting (your local volunteer centre could help with this).
Template role descriptions are available to download and edit to meet the need of the club.
Identify opportunities for recruiting volunteers:
Once the role has been defined, think of where would be the best place to find the right person for the job.
For example, if you need someone to update the website, think about what people would be most likely to be interested and where would be the best place to reach them. Some ideas are as follows:
- A young person who has an interest in IT and has a good level of IT skills?
- A poster in the IT department at a local FE College or Sixth Form?
- The IT professional who works for one of your sponsors?
Adapt your club membership form to ask any new members about any time they may have available or any skills they may have to offer. Also, as part of your annual membership renewal process, ask existing members of their skills and if they have time to spare to help the Club. The fact you are asking for this information might just prompt somebody to offer his or her help.
Use effective recruitment methods for attracting volunteers
ECB have created 'Be Involved' Club Volunteer Recruitment posters and postcards for cricket clubs to use when recruiting volunteers.
They cover a number of areas which are:
- General Volunteering
- Coaching
- Grounds and Facilities
- Building Partnerships between clubs and schools
There is a poster for each area which can be downloaded as a word document so you can enter your club's details electronically, or as a PDF for you to print off and enter the details by hand.
There are also double-sided postcards for each of the four areas which are only available as a PDF and finally a concertina leaflet which is a fold out of all four posters in an A5 size with information on each area.
Please use these however you see fit to invite more volunteers to 'Be Involved' in your club, especially if you are in the process of organising your NatWest CricketForce event!
Visit the Volunteer Organisations and Useful Contacts sections to identify volunteer recruitment organisations and contacts to aid in the recruitment of volunteers to your organisation.
There are many ways of attracting volunteers, the different approaches your Club can take are as follows:
- Mass recruitment – Is a good idea if you are looking for volunteers generally without particular roles in mind.
- One to One Network – This is word of mouth, but in a proactive way. It involves thinking of volunteers and contacts you already have and also who they may know.
- Partnerships – This is all about linking up with other agencies that can help you to recruit. The most common form of this is your local volunteer centre but local schools, colleges and universities, local authorities and county sport partnerships can all help.
- Targeted – This is the best method when you want to recruit a person with certain skills and abilities for a specific job.
Now, here are some examples of how you can put these methods into practice. It is not an exhaustive list – you may have some unique, wacky and effective methods of your own! Try and make sure you always provide as much information about the work involved as possible.
- Press releases – combine a volunteer ask with a news release, or do it as an article in its own right! Why not try and get this into the sports pages of your local paper?
- Advertise – There are lots of opportunities to advertise, in an event programme, your local press, at the swimming pool reception. An advert needs to be specific to the role you want to recruit for and should include contact details, location of the opportunity and a brief description of what is involved, both work and benefits-to-the-volunteer.
- Existing volunteers - Ask current volunteers to identify people who might be interested in taking over from them. Also ask current volunteers why they have undertaken that particular role and what benefits they feel they have got from doing it.
- Place posters in appropriate places such as schools, shops and offices. Make sure you include a point of contact so it's easy for people to make enquiries.
- Ask family and other supporters who come to watch training and events - provide an enquiry form for potential volunteers to complete and return.
- Hold an open day or use a festival to promote your need for volunteers. Challenge existing traditions to make possible roles flexible. What about job share? Just because a role has always been done by the same person it doesn't mean a job share in the future wouldn't be successful.
- Use a social event, such as a dinner, to raise the profile of volunteers you need to recruit. Make sure you provide information about different roles that are required, as just because a person is not interested in one role it does not mean that they might not be interested in another.
- Invite the employees of sponsors of your Club to a meeting at your club, highlighting the excitement and feeling of achievement and belonging when you volunteer at a Club. Then explain how your club can provide them with that opportunity. Whether they want to give one hour per week or more they will each have skills and expertise that will benefit your Club.
- Contact your local schools and colleges: citizenship classes now involve a volunteering element. Students may also be able to use volunteering and the work it entails on their CV's or even as part of their course work. For instance, a person studying Project Management may be interested in running a festival for you. Also, approach young people who are completing their Duke of Edinburgh award or who are involved in Step into Sport, as they are required to volunteer as part of these programmes.
Visit the Volunteer Organisations and Useful Contacts sections to identify your local volunteer recruitment organisations, e.g. do-it.org, Community Service Volunteer centres, Volunteering England.
Ask - Most volunteers say they were recruited because somebody asked them if they were interested in helping. This doesn't mean just putting up a notice, people like to be asked personally, and they feel more valued.

MLibrary to host e-textbook symposium
If you squint, you can almost see the end of printed textbooks ahead. Don't believe it? Then you ought to sign up for a free symposium the MLibrary is hosting from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Friday, March 18 in the Palmer Commons.
"The Future of E-textbooks: A Symposium on the Influence of E-textbooks on Academic Life" will consider various questions about teaching, learning, and technology, as well as the economics and future business models of the e-textbook market. Organizers say the arrival of Smart Boards, personal computers, and wireless printers has begun to change the way that students interact with faculty and academic content. In addition, the recent arrival of e-readers, tablet PCs, and smart phones may bring with it the end of printed textbooks.
Among the symposium's scheduled speakers are Maria Bonn, associate university librarian for publishing at U-M; Suzanne BeDell, managing director for science and technology books, Elsevier; and Ken Brooks, senior vice president at Cengage Learning.
The infrastructure for the changing market is rapidly growing. BeDell estimates that tablets, including the iPad, should approach a 40 million installed base in 2011.
The symposium will also feature a panel discussion with U-M faculty instructors doing innovative work with electronic course materials, and another with a group of U-M students who are participating in an e-textbook pilot project in one of their courses.
According to Susan Hollar, the U-M librarian who is coordinating the panel discussions, the symposium will provide a venue in which to discuss how technology has already altered the classroom landscape, and what role forthcoming products like e-textbooks will play in continuing that transformation.
"Student and faculty perspectives on these issues are particularly important to the conversation," Hollar says. "I'm really looking forward to hearing more about their actual experiences with some of this technology in the classroom."
The symposium includes refreshments and a lunch. You can view a full symposium schedule and RSVP. This event is sponsored by Elsevier, publisher of science and health information, as part of its Library Connect initiative. The MLibrary is involved because of its role in the discovery and deployment of teaching and learning technologies on campus.
For more information, contact Rachel McCullough from Elsevier at email@example.com.

I have gotten WordPress working perfectly save for one feature -- upload. I click on that link only to find the following message:
"It doesn't look like you can use the file upload feature at this time because the directory you have specified (/home/public_html/pwrbtn/post-images) doesn't appear to be writable by WordPress. Check the permissions on the directory and for typos."
I have set the directory to 777 and also tried 776 both through the browser FTP program from my CPANEL and also through GlobalSCAPE's CuteFTP program.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Muncie, IN
NBC is searching for another hour-long drama to help bolster its ratings. Two new series have just been ordered to pilot, one based on the 1995 film Outbreak and the other following the adventures of immaculately conceived children.
Deadline reports the Peacock wants to move forward with a TV version of Outbreak by John Wells (Shameless, ER) and Jack Orman (Pan Am, ER), described as "a medical thriller that follows an ensemble of characters as they race to contain a lethal virus before it becomes a global pandemic."
The 1995 film of the same name was directed by Wolfgang Peterson and starred Dustin Hoffman, Rene Russo, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Spacey as characters trying to contain an airborne virus. Wells and Orman are co-writing the pilot for Warner Bros. Television.
Meanwhile, The Hollywood Reporter passes along word that the network has also ordered a pilot from John Glenn (Eagle Eye) called Conception. Glenn is co-writing the pilot with Lars Jacobson (Baby Blues) about a small group of children who were somehow born through supposedly immaculate methods.
Wow, how fun. That'll boost ratings. Another depressing show.
Yes, that's sarcasm.
Combined the two shows and name it "Outbreak in the Village of the Damned."
Why doesn't John Wells do a spinoff of ER or even better a reboot with some of the old characters , there has never been a better Medical drama TV series , sure we got Grey's. Private Practise , and the rest but nothings compares to ER , I am sure if John Wells would ask some of the characters to come back they will jump at the chance as they have tried other projects and failed. –Bring Back ER Please

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Neat project. I had a long bow when I was a kid. Tried to make one by reading books when I was a kid. They always broke on me. I could never get it right. May try again someday. Now that I am older and have more patience to follow directions, maybe the end result would be better.

The beds.
Very loud music until after midnight, four floors up couldn't sleep, had 5am flight.
This hotel is very nice, lots of marble, three restaurants, and bars. Big soft beds, great views of the city. I would call it 4 or even 5 stars except for the fact that I was 4 stories up and could still clearly hear the bands playing at the parties going on downstairs. My wife, two kids, and I had to catch a flight at 6am and the music went on until well after midnight, what a shame. ...

All quotes tagged Christianized
(1181 quotes found)
"Christianity simply does not make sense until you have faced the sort of facts I have been describing. Christianity tells people to repent and promises them forgiveness. It therefore has nothing (as far as I know) to say to people who do not know they have done anything to repent of and who do not feel that they need forgiveness."
"The purpose of Christianity is not to avoid difficulty, but to produce a character adequate to meet it when it comes. It does not make life easy; rather it tries to make us great enough for life."
"If I discover within myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world"
"Millions of innocent men, women, and children, since the introduction of Christianity, have been burned, tortured, fined, and imprisoned, yet we have not advanced one inch toward uniformity. What has been the effect of coercion? To make one half of the world fools and the other half hypocrites."
"Of all religions, Christianity is without a doubt the one that should inspire tolerance most, although, up to now, the Christians have been the most intolerant of all men"
"He who shall introduce into public affairs the principles of Christianity, will revolutionize the world"
"Christianity is the most ridiculous, the most absurd, and bloody religion that has ever infected the world"
"The Bible is not my book and Christianity is not my religion. I could never give assent to the long complicated statements of Christian dogma."

On the Horizon, a New Manhattan Skyline
The city's approval of an office tower near the Empire State Building last week is the latest reminder that New York is poised for one of its biggest waves of skyscraper development in decades—provided the economy cooperates.
Developers are readying two residential towers that will rise above most of Midtown. The massive mixed-use development planned west of Penn Station would transform Manhattan's skyline as viewed from New Jersey. Downtown, the transformation is already happening, with the warped, metallic skin of Frank Gehry's Beekman Tower looming over the neighborhood around City Hall and, at Ground Zero, 1 World Trade Center already rising to 36 stories.
Looking Skyward
Some of the proposed alterations to the city's skyline have been opposed. Vornado Realty Trust's plan to build a tower near Penn Station attracted criticism from people wanting to preserve the Empire State Building's iconic spot.
But the new projects are being propelled by powerful forces. The City Council's near-unanimous approval of the Vornado project is a sign that elected officials are much more concerned about producing jobs than aesthetic concerns. "They were saying New York needs new buildings," says Carol Willis, director of the Skyscraper Museum. "Before that, I would've said that New Yorkers like their city just fine the way it looks right now."
At the same time, backers of these projects are pointing out that the city needs to modernize office space to preserve its competitive position against other global cities like London and Hong Kong. In a letter to shareholders this year Vornado Chairman Steve Roth said the 40 million square feet of office space along Park Avenue from Grand Central Terminal to 59th Street is, on average, 45 years old. He called on the city to allow for denser construction on the avenue to give builders an incentive to tear down old buildings and create new and larger towers.
As the economic doldrums wear on, the city's politicians seem to be coming around to that idea. "We need new, modern buildings to accommodate the new business model that's out there today all over the world," Mark Weprin, chairman of the City Council's subcommittee on zoning and franchises, said at a press conference before last week's council meeting.
Of course, most of the projects aren't going to move ahead until the economy improves, more financing becomes available and demand for commercial space and apartments picks up. Rents in top-tier Manhattan office buildings are still some 20% off their peak. "This is still at least a year or two from the right circumstances for a deal, let alone construction," Michael Knott, who tracks office landlords for real-estate research firm Green Street Advisors, said of the prospects for Vornado's 15 Penn Plaza. "Getting approvals now is just prudent planning, not a signal to ready the cranes."
Some projects that got going before the bust are moving forward. The Beekman Tower, Forest City Enterprises Inc.'s $800 million, Frank-Gehry-designed residential skyscraper has already reached its 867-foot height. It's close to the 792-foot Woolworth Building, another iconic tower that was once the tallest in the world and has since been dwarfed by modern skyscrapers.
At the World Trade Center site, two office towers are already rising and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey last week cemented a deal with developer Larry Silverstein that allows him to continue with building Tower 4 and promises as much as $600 million in public support for Tower 3.
Meantime, in Midtown, developer Gary Barnett is building a 1,000-foot residential tower on 57th Street thanks in part to financing from his Middle East partners.
Other projects are going to have to wait. Mr. Silverstein also plans a 912-foot-tall hotel and condo tower at 99 Church St., on the same block as the Woolworth Building, once financing becomes available. The city has also approved a 1,050-foot-tall tower next to the Museum of Modern Art to be built by Houston-based property giant Hines, but the company said the project's timing hasn't been determined.
Related Cos. and a subsidiary of a Canadian pension fund signed a $1 billion lease with the Metropolitan Transit Authority in May that will allow the partnership to develop a massive complex of residential and commercial buildings west of Penn Station that are planned to be as high as 850 feet. A Related spokeswoman said the developer hopes to start construction as early as 2012.
Before the recession hit, developers Moinian Group and Brookfield Properties Corp. also floated West Side towers, proposed to be more than 1,000 feet tall. "There's not much going on at the moment but it's definitely something we're excited about for the future," a Brookfield spokesman said of the company's project, at Ninth Avenue and 33rd Street. Moinian wants to build a 1,060-foot office and residential tower nearby, but construction won't start before 2013, a spokesman said.
Buildings such as those could have a greater impact on some well-known views of the Empire State Building than 15 Penn Plaza, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn said. "The idea that nothing is happening on the West Side that has any impact on the Empire State Building views that would allow that postcard to remain frozen in time is not the case," Ms. Quinn said at the press conference. "There are already buildings that the city has acted upon that will go up when the market bears that will change the views from…New Jersey, " she said at the press conference.
If developers do get around to constructing high-rises around the Empire State Building, it "becomes something like the Woolworth Building," said Thomas Hanrahan, dean of the School of Architecture at the Pratt Institute. "It wouldn't diminish or make the Empire State Building any less extraordinary than it already is."

It was very quaint and the grounds were very nice. We were there for a wedding so it was all very convenient.
What a great find! Very nice hotel with large clean room, and obviously brand new. We travelled with a baby, and without a request the staff had arranged a baby cot in our room. They were also nice enough to make us delicious food we could bring to the room. Not far from the highway, but very secluded and with beautiful surroundings. We had a very pleasant stay, Thank you!
As always for the last 20 years the showers after along drive
The smell of smoking in the corridor
The staff were very friendly and the food was good and available at most times.The situation was good for us.
We would have prefered more facilities. Bar and proper restaurant. Although the situation was good for our requirements we felt that it was more suited for a one night stay rather than a longer break.
Could be cleaner (dust below bed etc) but overall OK.
open and friendly hotel staff, peaceful place, good equipped room,
too far from the city
Superb value for money
Due to no hotel restaurant worse option for dinner. Need to go to downtown by car/public trasport
Clean quiet room
Check in time. 4pm it states but the hotel is not staffed until 5pm.
Excellent staff. Good resturant. Very clean and tidy room.
reasonably good hotel for one night. friendly staff. very quiet outside. nice breakfast.
No, not at all!!!

The Roane Rockers, the team representing Roane Medical Center, Harriman, is raising funds through the dog photo contest.
Roane County Anti-Drug Coalition will have a fundraising car show from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Oct. 29 at Roane County Park.

You came. You bought. You said hello.
I shivered.
I'd like to thank everyone who came to my first-ever yard sale — especially those of you who made a special effort to say hey to me and my mother.
I can't remember all of your names, but I do remember Lynn, Jan, Jean and Lou. I also appreciated the tips and tales from fellow hikers who came by.
It was a chilly Saturday. The afternoon would have been comfortable enough if the wind would have quit blowing, but that didn't happen.
Harriman city employees will be seeing the benefits of a 2-percent pay increase on their next paychecks.
The Harriman City Council approved the fiscal 2012 budget on Sept. 27, including raises that were to begin the first pay period after final passage.
In addition to the raises, the city property tax rate of $1.1933 was rounded up to $1.20 per $100 valuation.
Treasurer Charles Kerley said it would make little difference to property owners.\
For example, a person with a $100,000 home will pay about $1.68 more a year.
A huge depression from an infamous breeder reactor project that was scuttled in the 1980s is still visible today.
Another pit could be on the way at the same Roane County location along the Clinch River.
TVA is looking into putting small modular reactors at the site on the Oak Ridge Reservation.
"This whole project is in the exploratory, can-we-make-this-happen, can-we-really- make-this-work kind of deal," said Jeff Perry, senior project manager for the Clinch River project. "That's kind of where we're at."

Gucci by Gucci - the one in the heavy brown bottle - there's a great review of it here: Now Smell This
O de Lancome is a great lemony fragrance - according to the marketing, it's for women, but the scent is definitely unisex.

I was at a Gap outlet, and they had a bunch of Grass (EDT and body spray) and Om (body spray only). It didn't look like old stock, and when I asked, the manager told me that it was in fact new...
I think I would have to get a bunch of decants of my favourites - I just did a quick tally based on The Perfumed Court's current prices, and I could get 5ml each of the following for about $94:
Kenzo Flower Oriental
I went floriental today in Kenzo Flower Oriental, which to me is Kenzo Flower + a rich amber-incense base. It isn't floral to my nose after the topnotes go.
Chanel Bois des Iles
On Monday, I ordered a few decants from the Perfumed Court - Femininite du Bois, Icon (Lush), Anbar and Carnation (CdG), Bandit, and Passage d'Enfer.
I'm in Sensuous - I needed a comfort scent after a bit of a crazy night last night.
Happy 2009, all!
Prada Infusion d'Iris
I love my Dzing!, Messe de Minuit, and Avignon. I know a lot of people have their objections to Pamplelune, too, but I love it as well.
I actually had a boyfriend a while ago who said that all women's fragrances were crap (!) and that what men really wanted was for their women to smell like pizza or beer or, yes, burgers. He's...
Etro Messe de Minuit
Kenzo Flower Oriental
You don't happen to be talking about Shoppers Drug Mart, do you? Hmmmm. Must check that out.

I had been wearing Dzing! too often, so I decided to go the whole week without wearing it. Does anyone else do stuff like this? Either forcing yourself to wear something that...
Good call - I had actually thought of this, too - Mrs. Obama doesn't mind being seen in relatively inexpensive clothes, so why not a drugstore scent?
Thanks for this! I think when I got the book, I had been expecting reviews of all of the CdG series, Incense, Red, Synthetic, etc., that I forgot that they actually did touch on some of the CdG...
I love it - I check in every day.
Clinton wore (wears?) Angel?! Interesting. Not what I would have guessed, which goes to show how personal fragrance is.
Michelle Obama has, I think, a strong sense of style, and she takes risks,...
Jicky parfum - I've never actually tried the parfum, but if money were no object for a few minutes, I'd take the opportunity to grab it. I do love the Jicky EdT.
Dzing! - Love it, and I know I...
Me, too!
Have they still not reviewed the Comme des Garcons line? I don't have the book with me, but if I remember correctly, it wasn't reviewed there, and it isn't in either of the newsletters.
I think the whole CdG incense series is a masterpiece - I would add Avignon to the list. (But really, try all of them!)
I'm in Kenzo Flower Oriental.
My list looks like this:
8x Dzing! (I just got a decant of this at the beginning of the month, and I am in love. Dzing! and I are still in the honeymoon phase of our relationship, I think.)

I have a feeling that I'm going to love the EL PC Amber Ylang Ylang, but I have yet to actually smell it, so I shouldn't put it on my...
I'm breaking out of a rut - I had been wearing Infusion d'Iris every Monday, as kind of my easy go-to scent for when my brain is not quite awake yet, but for some reason I decided that I don't want...
I suggest giving CdG Kyoto a try - it's from the Incense Series, but to my nose it's more cedar than incense. I know many people disagree with me on this, but it might still be worth a try!
Dzing! for the second day in a row - I'm hooked!
I'm in CB I Hate Perfume Russian Caravan Tea, the water perfume, from a decant. It's a gorgeous scent but it has no lasting power - I really want to try the perfume absolute now.
I'm in Kenzo Flower Oriental. I hope this isn't heresy, but I think this is one flanker that is much better than the original - Flower is nice, but definitely not FBW for me, but I'm loving the...
Dzing! from a decant. (And, dammit, this is another that I must add to my way-too-long list of full bottles that I absolutely need as soon as possible.)
I'm in CdG Ouarzazate, from a decant. Is it possible that I need a full bottle of this even though I have a full bottle of Avignon? I think so. (Is it possible that I am addicted to fragrance? ...
Me, too!
I enjoy many of the above, as well. I would add Now Smell This for great reviews, previews of upcoming scents and shopping guides.
Sensuous is my comfort scent for this cold damp Sunday.
Dzing! from a new decant - I love it - it's so strange and yet so comforting. Dzing! Dzing! Dzing! Dzing! I even love typing it, and saying it!
Happy birthdays!
I'm in Dzing!
CB I Hate Perfume Russian Caravan Tea. Gorgeous, but it didn't last as long as I would have liked.
I knew I wouldn't be the first one in here recommending AA Pamplelune - I consider it a "must-try" if you like grapefruit! It is really good, if your chemistry doesn't happen to bring...
I just bought 50ml of Prada Infusion d'Iris - I've used up an 8ml decant that I got a couple of months ago, and I still wanted more!
My all time favourite:
I know it's not a classic or anything (or maybe it's a modern classic?) but it's very "me." I love...
I'm in Avignon.
I'm testing the new Kenzo Amour Parfum - I love it!
I agree completely - which is why I'm wearing Infusion d'Iris for my fourth or fifth Monday in a row!
Estee Lauder Sensuous
Lolita Lempicka for me today!
Prada Infusion d'Iris.
Dimples, are you in Ottawa? I'm taking advantage of the crazy-warm Ottawa weather to wear one of summer favourites - O de Lancome
Another one for Chanel no 5, here. I really, really tried - when I was just geting into fragrance, I was convinced that I had to be able to at least appreciate this to be a serious perfumista. But...
I'm surprised to see O de Lancome. It's one of my old favourites, but I don't think it's anywhere near as popular in North America. (Correct me if I'm wrong, though.)
CdG Avignon.
Me, too! I think this is the third or fourth Monday in a row that I've reached for it - it's just so beautiful and easy to wear, I never have to wonder if I'm going to be in the mood for it or...
EL Sensuous
The only ones I wore more than once were:
Prada Infusion d'Iris - 6x
CdG Avignon, EL Sensuous, Kenzo Flower Oriental - 4x
O de Lancome - 2x
I did a lot of testing from my ever growing sample...
Add me to the list of Tea for Two wearers. It's my first time wearing it, from a sample, and I think I'm in love. My boyfriend seems to love it, too - maybe I should convince him to buy it for me...
Another in Tea for Two, here. I'm wearing it from a sample, and for the first time, and so far I am loving it - possibly full bottle worthy.
I don't really think of myself as someone who likes...
I'm in CdG Red Series - Carnation, from a sample. I love it. Sigh. Another full bottle worthy fragrance.
I just ordered 8ml decants of Cimabue, Russian Caravan Tea, Dzing!, Bois des Iles and Messe de Minuit.
Happy birthday, Ubu!
I'm in CdG Avignon. It's funny, when I first wore Avignon around my Mom, she was incredulous, like, "Why would you want to smell like an old church?!?" But I've worn it...
Sympathies, Chaya, to you and your family.
I'm in Infusion d'Iris.
EL Sensuous
One of my easy-to-wear-to-work favourites - O de Lancome
Prada Infusion d'Iris
Me, too!
I'n in Avignon today
I'm surprised by the diversity of what I have come to like. Before last year, the only scents I had were O de Lancome (lemony herbal), Pamplelune (grapefruit), and Lancome's Aroma Tonic (lime green...
I forgot about Laurence Dumont - I bought Vanille Violette for $10, and it's lovely,
I'm at home with a bad sore throat, feeling sorry for myself, and wearing one of my comfort scents - Sensuous.
Wordbird - I love your story about the Small One - it made me smile, and today that's...
Kenzo Flower Oriental
Hugs to tdi and Ozzy.
I'm wearing Prada Infusion D'Iris - I find this one to be such a great no-brainer choice for a work day - I was in a rush this morning and didn't really have a lot of time to...
Cheapie - GAP White Amber. It opens kind of sharply, but after five minutes or so, it's amber heaven, with whispers of vanilla and incense. I also enjoy BBW Coconut lime verbena.

IMOLA, Italy -- Fernando Alonso held off Michael Schumacher
by 0.2 seconds in a fierce duel Sunday to win the San Marino Grand
Prix for his third straight victory and fourth in a row for
Renault has won every race this year, the other victory by
Giancarlo Fisichella in the season-opening Australian Grand Prix.
``This is probably the best of the three that I've had so far,''
Alonso said. ``It was difficult, but at the end I managed to be
Alonso increased his lead in the standings to 36 points.
Schumacher's runner-up finish was his best result this season, and
he now has 10 points.
Alonso and Schumacher raced 1-2 for the final 12 laps.
Schumacher moved his Ferrari around the track in passing attempts
on several occasions. Each time, however, Alonso responded with a
block. Schumacher appeared to get half his car alongside Alonso on
the final lap, but Alonso would not budge and closed again.
On an overcast and humid day, Alonso took the lead when
pole-sitter Kimi Raikkonen retired after just eight laps with an
apparent mechanical problem.
Schumacher started 13th after running wide onto the dirt in
qualifying. He made up several positions early in the race by
making a later first pit stop than other top drivers, then passed
Jenson Button on the 47th lap to pursue Alonso.
``I'm happy in one way from the race. On the other hand, I'm
disappointed with what happened this morning,'' Schumacher said.
``We had a stunning pace and performance. That's what we can take
from the race.''
Button, in a BAR Honda, was third for his first finish this
Alonso covered 62 laps around the Enzo and Dino Ferrari circuit
in 1 hour, 27 minutes, 41.921 seconds. This was the fourth career
victory for the 23-year-old Spaniard, widely considered the next
great Formula One driver after Schumacher.
Schumacher, the seven-time world champion, made a vast
improvement on his first three races in which he finished only once
for the worst start of his career.
Throngs of Ferrari fans cheered wildly when Schumacher passed
Button and watched in awe as the new and old stars of the sport
went head to head. Afterward, they stood and applauded Schumacher's
return to form and Alonso's performance under pressure.
Alonso waved three fingers in front of his on-board TV camera to
mark his third straight win, including the Malaysian and Bahrain
Fisichella crashed out on the sixth lap but Renault remained
atop the constructor standings with 46 points, followed by Toyota
with 28 and McLaren-Mercedes at 24. Ferrari moved from sixth to
fourth with 18 points.
Alexander Wurz finished fourth in his first race since running
with Benetton in 2000. Wurz was filling in for McLaren's injured
Juan Pablo Montoya.
BAR's Takuma Sato was fifth and Jacques Villeneuve of Sauber was
sixth. Toyota's Jarno Trulli crossed seventh and maintained second
place in the driver standings behind Alonso with 18 points.
Fisichella, Schumacher and brother Ralf Schumacher of Toyota are
tied for third with 10 points each. Ralf Schumacher was eighth
Sunday. Ferrari's Rubens Barrichello quit with electrical trouble
after coming in for a pit stop on the 18th lap.

Product Description
This Enerpac RC-101 single-acting alloy steel hydraulic cylinder with 10-ton capacity has a round body with one port and spring-return of the single piston rod with 1" stroke for use in general-purpose applications in any position. The single-acting hydraulic cylinder uses liquid pumped through its single port for rod extension and a pretensioned internal spring for expedited rod retraction to produce continued movement. A built-in stop ring prevents the plunger from extending beyond the stroke length, assists in absorbing side loads, and can endure the full capacity of the cylinder. The plunger wiper helps inhibit contamination in the cylinder, and the removable grooved plunger saddle covers the plunger mounting threads and protects the plunger during lifting operations. The GR2 bearings reduce wear and help prevent jamming and rod over-extension by absorbing eccentric load stresses. The port is a quick-connect CR-400 female coupler for use with a CH-604 male coupler (sold separately), and the included dust cap covers the port when not in use. The high-strength alloy steel body has a baked enamel finish for corrosion resistance in harsh environments.

Behind The Stories
A Road Trip To Capture Your Stories
Carmen Radelat, of Silver Spring, Md., grew up listening to her mother's stories. A Spanish immigrant to Cuba, Radelat's mother, Florencia, attended the University of Havana at the same time as Fidel Castro before she settled permanently in the United States.
For Radelat, her mother's stories were experiences Radelat wanted to record and preserve for her family. When Radelat heard the StoryCorps mobile recording studio would be making a stop in her town, just outside of Washington, D.C., she signed up to interview her mother.
"[The StoryCorps] experience was important for me to gain a personal perspective of her life," Radelat said. "As an independent woman of her generation, I'm proud of all she's been through."
From Morning Edition: StoryCorps Interviews
In addition to preserving Florencia's story for Radelat's family, their interview is one of more than 45,000 collected and archived at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress as part of the StoryCorps project, which has a goal to provide Americans of all backgrounds and beliefs with the opportunity to record, preserve, and share their stories.
You are probably most familiar with the StoryCorps interviews that air on Morning Edition each Friday. Edited from the original 40-minute interview, stories like Radelat and Carmen's expose listeners to compelling stories told by average people.
The Value of the Human Voice
Nine years ago today, StoryCorps founder Dave Isay launched what has now become the one of the largest collections of human voices ever gathered with a recording booth set up in Grand Central Terminal in New York City. With nearly 90,000 participants to date, Isay describes StoryCorps' mission as a public service.
"We want to celebrate the American story that's happening everywhere, from small towns to Native American reservations to prisons," he said. "It's important for us to bring StoryCorps to as much of America as possible. We are trying to cover the widest possible swath of America and the American story."
StoryCorps achieves this access by touring across the country, taking this opportunity directly to the people. While the organization's main office is in Brooklyn, NY, a number of StoryCorps staff travel year-round to communities across America; with them comes an Airstream trailer equipped with a soundproof recording studio.
According to Isay, the StoryCorps MobileBooth is a valuable way to bring in people from the community who want to be interviewed, or who want to interview a friend or relative. And to make sure the local residents are aware of this opportunity, StoryCorps teams up with radio stations, libraries, and other community partners to spread the word.

Mobile Storytelling
Virginia Lora, a StoryCorps facilitator, has traveled with StoryCorps' MobileBooth since June 2011. Lora works inside the studio where she records and observes interviews. If needed, she inserts questions to help guide the conversation between a pair of participants. If a participant comes alone, she becomes the interviewer.
"Listening to a conversation is a beautiful thing," she said. "As a listener, there's a much shorter distance to travel to connect with a story."
The studio space inside the booth is small and intimate. For 40 minutes, participants talk through stories from their life – from broad reflections to detailed moments.
More From StoryCorps
"People are very open and honest during their interviews," Lora said. "Inside the studio there's more freedom for what people say – they're more dynamic and spontaneous. Some prepare more than others, but their words don't have to be a final draft."
At the mobile booth, Lora greets participant Liz Norton, who was scheduled to interview her father, Norman Bernstein. "My father is 92 and fabulous, with a lot to tell," Norton said.
As an NPR listener, Norton said she finds herself connecting to the "smallness" of the stories she hears on Morning Edition. "A story doesn't have to be grand – even the smallest of stories can have such universal reach," she said.
For Bernstein? "I'm just happy to spend time with her," he said about his daughter.
Each StoryCorps participant is given a CD recording of their interview. In addition to being preserved and archived at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress, the interviews are sometimes in the collections of that city's libraries and community centers.
Staff from StoryCorps select the interviews that will eventually air on Morning Edition. From a full-length 40 minute interview, they edit it down to a one-to-two minute "teaser" clip then send it off to NPR Morning Edition Senior Producer Barry Gordemer for a final review before airing.
"[StoryCorps] understands the larger picture," he said. "They're sensitive to the natural rhythm of a conversation that gives context to the story."
According to Gordemer, listeners relate to StoryCorps because these aren't always the stories that are the main news headlines of the day.
"These stories provide a window to what America is like at this point in time," he said. "They're not scripted, so there's a raw element of a conversation that's captured."

Sub-par trannie tape.
Three foxy ladyboys from Europe spent hours getting their eye shadow smoothed out and their hair flipped just right for their close-up - but there aren't any. Alas, porno has little need of their Cheshire Cat Woman grins. Any detail added to the glamour column is automatically subtracted by cursory camerawork and jumpy editing. The hardcore isn't even legible -penetration shots are omitted and most of the grinding is lost in the depths of shadow. High contrast lighting heightens the sexual drama up to a point, but before long it becomes obvious that it's a technical misjudgment, not an artistic effect. Both Eva and Laura puff dickies like human humidors. Laura's got a throbbing slime stick of her own that she keeps in hand while her stud fucks her face. Synchronized cumshots prevail.
