Live coverage: Ottawa County prosecutor reveals possible motive in killings 25 years ago
HOLLAND, MI – After their son failed to show for work, Ida "Isla" Brink, and her husband, Gerritt "Bud" Brink went to the Park Township home he shared with his wife, Gail.
It has been 25 years since the Brinks walked into a nightmare.
She recalled going into the house in November 1987. It was unusually quiet. She called out, "'Kids, are you home? Are you up?' And there was no answer."
Then, she found her daughter-in-law, on the bed, with a pillow over her head. "I touched her, and I turned to Bud, and I said, 'She's dead.'"
Later, she learned that her son died, too.
The testimony came in a probable-cause hearing before Holland District Judge Bradley Knoll. The hearing is expected to take up the afternoon, and resume Thursday.
Other important testimony:
• Assistant Ottawa County Prosecutor Lee Fisher says the suspect, Ryan Wyngarden, the brother of Gail Brink, had "sexual intimacy" with his sister when they were teens, and he was afraid she would tell someone.
• Both victims were shot multiple times in the head.
• Don Heeringa, owner of Trendway Corp., where Rick and Gail Brink met, said he and his brother, Jim, became concerned when Rick didn't show for work. They drove to the couple's house on Ransom Street in Park Township.
Heeringa tried to console Isla Brink. She had a look of "sheer panic on her face. I knew something was terribly wrong, and Isla said to me, 'She's dead, she's dead. … I've had that look on her face in my mind for 25 years.
Then, while the Brinks were in a police car, Heering said, "I saw a body in the car. … I said to the Ottawa County deputy: 'His parents can't see this.'"

St. Tammany Parish's April 8 deadline for proposals for an environmentally friendly landfill could be pushed back as the parish feels its way through the beginning stages of the process, a consultant working with the parish said Thursday.
Bob Batherson, a project manager with Camp Dresser & McKee of New Orleans, and Greg Gorden, director of environmental services for the parish, met at the Parish Council chambers near Mandeville with representatives of at least 11 companies to discuss the parish's request for proposals for an "eco park,'' essentially a landfill that would handle construction and demolition debris, and possibly also be a recycling center and household waste transfer station.
Batherson and Gorden said the RFP was loosely written to give industry experts the latitude to think big.
"This is the first time the parish has done this,'' Gorden told the contractors on hand. "We're also looking to you for your expertise.''
While the construction and demolition debris landfill is the "keystone'' of the project, Batherson said recycling is a "desired component,'' including areas where the public can drop off waste.
"The intent of the RFP is to solicit for innovative proposals,'' he said.
After fielding several questions about the project from the contractors, some of which could require amended language in the RFP, Batherson said the April 8 deadline might have to be pushed back a month or more.
The idea for the landfill stems from a confluence of several events - an historical need to better manage construction and demolition debris in a growing parish, the closing of the Slidell Landfill and the massive amount of damage wrought by Hurricane Katrina.
Gorden declined to give contractors a specific time frame on when the parish would want to complete the landfiill project, but Batherson said having a construction and debris landfill becomes "imperative when we get our next hurricane.''
Under the parish's plan, the developer would be responsible for procuring the land, building and operating the landfill. Parish officials have said the parish could opt to buy the land and lease it to the developer. The RFP calls for a minimum size of 250 acres, but Batherson said something closer to 500 acres would be preferable since it would afford larger buffer zones, making it "much more neighborhood friendly.''
The location will have to be "a delicate balancing act,'' Batherson said. The site can't be so close to neighborhoods that it generates complaints, yet has to be accessible in order to be economically viable, he said.

Families heading out to the last days of New Orleans Jazz Fest should certainly take Jeff Conner's advice: Pants, not shirts, make a family stand out in a crowd.
"Everyone wears loud shirts in bright colors, so that never helps when you're looking for someone," said Conner, who each year sews matching pants for his wife, Shannon, son Griffin, 3, and a small dress for his 10-month-old daughter, Matlida.
"My mom used to do it for me when I was a kid, a new pair of pants every year for the Jazz Fest."
He said when looking for folks at different stages the first thing he always sees is not a t-shirt, but someone's pants, so he looks for bright fabrics each year to put together the family's outfits.
This year's ensemble was created out of a retro looking green fabric with bright bolts of orange. Paired with shirts and straw hats, the family was a hit with fellow festival goers.
"Yeah, people love it," Jeff said. "Some even ask us to take pictures! It's fun for us, too."

DETROIT -- Nik Stauskas' confidence apparently extends off the hardwood.
The former Michigan basketball star shrugged his shoulders Monday night, looking around Comerica Park while sporting a custom Detroit Tigers jersey with his name and No. 11 on the back.
"I live for the lights," Stauskas said.
The 6-foot-6 shooting guard took a break from training for next week's NBA Draft Combine in Chicago to test out his arm in Detroit. Stauskas, the 2014 Big Ten player of the year, was invited to throw out the first pitch prior to Monday's Tigers game against the Houston Astros at Comerica.
The result: A solid effort. His right-handed toss crossed the plate without incident.
Prior to the pitch, Stauskas noted that he grew up near a baseball diamond in his hometown of Mississauga, Ontario, but he never played organized ball. He briefly warmed up before taking the field, tossing a few pitches next to the Tigers' clubhouse.
"Eight pitches, that's all I needed," Stauskas said. "I'm good to go."
One of Stauskas' main goals was to deliver a better first-pitch effort than former Michigan teammate Jordan Morgan, who whipped a lofting right-handed toss prior to a Tigers game last week that would have brought home a runner from third.
"I'm going to be better than J-Mo, watch," Stauskas said. "I heard J-Mo lobbed his. I'm not going to lob mine. I'm going for the heat. J-M got nervous. I'm not going to get nervous."
He didn't indeed. "Heat," though, might be a bit generous.
Walking off the field after the pitch, Stauskas said, " I just live for being in front of people. I guess it's my personality."
Stauskas is projected as a lottery pick in the June 26 NBA draft after leading U-M in scoring with 17.5 points per game as a sophomore in 2013-14.

In a recently released memo, U.S. Army Col. Timothy R. Reese, a senior adviser to the Iraqi military's Baghdad command, argued that despite some of the glaring deficiencies that hinder Baghdad's forces—see issues of management, corruption and political pressure—Iraqi troops are competent enough to contain the insurgent violence raging on in their country and that it is high time "for the U.S. to declare victory and go home."
The New York Times:
A senior American military adviser in Baghdad has concluded in an unusually blunt memo that the Iraqi forces suffer from deeply entrenched deficiencies but are now capable of protecting the Iraqi government, and that it is time "for the U.S. to declare victory and go home."
Prepared by Col. Timothy R. Reese, an adviser to the Iraqi military's Baghdad command, the memorandum asserts that the Iraqi forces have an array of problems, including corruption, poor management and the inability to resist political pressure from Shiite political parties.
For all of these problems, however, Colonel Reese argues that Iraqi forces are competent enough to hold off Sunni insurgents, Shiite militias and other internal threats to the Iraqi government. Extending the American military presence in Iraq beyond 2010, he argues, will do little to improve the Iraqis' military performance while fueling a growing resentment.

We are all deserving | LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To the editor:
This is a response to Gary Loverich's letter of June 5.
Sometimes in our zeal to further our cause or defend our stand on an issue, we forget to put a face to the recipients of our target. Let's put a face to it - mine.
We are very similar, Gary. We both grew up on Bainbridge Island, as did our parents. We both went to Bainbridge High School. We both graduated and went on to be successful members of society. We are both proud of our community and have served that community in many ways.
We both raised our families here (yep, biological children), we both pay our taxes, we both own our own little piece of paradise on the Island and we both have or have had long term relationships with people we love - relationships that include working full time, making our households run smoothly, help with kids' homework, being soccer moms, or T-ball parents, and basically being a family. And, we are both members of the same church.
Keeping all these similarities in mind, Gary, which one makes me less of a human being than you? What makes me less deserving of ALL of your rights? Not additional rights, nor special rights, just the same basic rights you have?
I have no animosity toward you for your beliefs. I would just remind you that when we strive to exclude any group, class, or community of people we are excluding very deserving individuals who are just like you - the only difference being with whom we choose to share our life.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Criminal charges have been dismissed against a developmentally disabled man accused in last year's death of his roommate in their Mariners Harbor community residence, after the defendant was deemed unfit for trial.
Court-ordered psychiatrists recently determined Arben Klobocista doesn't understand the charges against him and can't aid in his defense.
A psychiatrist who examined Klobocista on behalf of prosecutors reached a similar conclusion.
"The charge was dismissed by operation of law because the defendant was found to be an incapacitated person who is unfit to proceed," said Douglas C. Auer, spokesman for District Attorney Daniel Donovan.
Klobocista, 38, had been accused of misdemeanor assault for allegedly attacking John Parisi, 45, on April 10 of last year.
According to court filings and a law enforcement source, Klobocista told cops he punched Parisi twice after Parisi tried to take his Chicken McNuggets.
Police found Parisi unresponsive inside his apartment at 339 Harbor Road about 8 a.m. after a 911 caller said he had hit his head on the table and was knocked unconscious, said the source.
The medical examiner determined that Parisi died when he was beaten and suffered a heart attack. The medical examiner later ruled Parisi's death a homicide.
Klobocista was arrested after the incident and charged with misdemeanor assault. He denied the charges.
At the time, a law enforcement source said prosecutors had to evaluate Klobocista's state of mind and the extent of his developmental disability as the case proceeded.
"It's an incredibly tragic situation, and I think the D.A.'s office did the right thing," said Klobocista's lawyer, Bryan Lonegan. "Arben didn't really understand what was going on. It's hard to find someone with that lack of mental capacity to be criminally liable. That probably doesn't provide a lot of comfort to [Parisi's] family. My sympathies go out to them."
The dismissal of the criminal charges doesn't clear all of Klobocista's legal issues.
He is among several defendants recently sued for civil damages by Parisi's family.
The lawsuit, filed in state Supreme Court, St. George, names as defendants Klobocista, the city, Volunteers of America, Harbor Manor Apartments and Sharp Management Corp. The latter two defendants are identified in court papers as the premises' owner, operator and manager.
Parisi was a Volunteers of America client, an agency spokeswoman told the Advance.
A lawyer representing Parisi's family did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment on the criminal-charge dismissal.

MUN men need a good weekend in Charlottetown, too
MUN Sea-Hawks
Memorial Sea-Hawks coach Doug Partridge simplified the team's objective this weekend in Atlantic University Sport (AUS) women's basketball.
"We need to take care of business at UPEI," said the MUN mentor as his 8-6 team prepared to play the winless (0-14) Panthers in Charlottetown Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.
"Getting a sweep is just big in terms of the points and staying near the top of the league," said Partridge.
"We need every point we can get at this stage in the season."
MUN is coming off a split against the Dalhousie Tigers (4-9) in Halifax last weekend.
"We played pretty solid in the first game, but could not sustain our effort… just seemed to lag in the second half," Partridge said of the team's 74-71 loss to the Tigers.
"Through all that we still had control of the game late, but turned it over too many times and missed too many easy shots … a frustrating gam."
The MUN mentor said the Lady Hawks "put everything together," in the second game, an 88-53 win, calling it "the best game we have played in a long time.
"We never gave Dal any reason to hope at any point throughout. I was very pleased with the way we played."
Asked about how many times this year MUN has put a total team effort together, Partridge figured four.
"So not many, but really we are headed in the right direction," he said.
"I'm more concerned with how many of those games we put together in March then how many total we have."
The Lady Hawks are led offensively by Grace Fishbein (16.1 points-per-game) and Ally Forsey (14.6 ppg), who are fifth and sixth respectively in conference scoring.
The MUN men's team (3-11, 8 pts., last place) takes on the 4-10 Panthers this weekend after dropping a pair of games against the Tigers late last month.
Despite its record, MUN is only four points out of the sixth and last playoff spot, which is currently shared by UPEI (4-10) and Acadia (4-8)º, who each have a dozen points.
One of the few bright spots on the Sea-Hawks this season has been Robbie Habib, who goes into the weekend second in AUS scoring with 20.1 points-per-game. Saint Mary's Joey Hayward leads at 28.9 ppg.

What is a lesson learned?
A lesson learned is useful project management information gained through experience that your organization should retain for future use and that can be relevant to other organizations. Depending on the lesson, it could be a valuable technique or an outcome that you wish to repeat or it could be an undesirable result you wish to avoid. Often, identifying your lessons learned is as simple as asking the question, "What worked well or what didn't work so well?" Lessons learned can be categorized as:
- something learned from experience,
- an adverse experience that is captured and shared to avoid a recurrence,
- an innovative approach that is captured and shared to promote repeat application, or
- the knowledge acquired from an innovation or an adverse experience that leads to a process improvement.
Why are lessons learned important?
Ultimately, lessons learned are a matter of improving the productivity and efficiency of a process. Individuals or teams can benefit from the knowledge gained through the experience of those who have gone before them. Many organizations that label themselves as "learning organizations" often overlook their own experiences as a platform for learning. They assume that their collective experiences are passed along to the next person or group. To be considered a learning organization we must be proactive, capture lessons learned, and "cross-pollinate" the concepts through training or other techniques that expose the information to others who may benefit from it. The application of lessons learned helps produce project teams which operate with less risk of failure, increased efficiency, and more awareness of their surroundings.
What does a good lesson-learned look like?
Documenting a useful lesson-learned requires a clear understanding of the purpose and importance of documenting the successes and/or failures of a project. Because lessons learned serve as an important management tool in retaining organizational knowledge, reducing project risk, and improving project performance, they must have relevance to future projects. To build relevance into your lesson-learned and make them of value to others in addressing similar situations, you must:
- identify the project management element in which the problem arose
- describe how the problem arose and define the problem or positive development encountered, and
- provide concrete, practical solutions or recommendations based on this experience.
Statements such as "Clearly defined roles and responsibilities, along with a strong focus on communication channels, are essential to project success." are not effective lessons learned. There is no context for the statement, and without context such a statement serves only as a basic Project Management best practice. While requiring more effort to develop, the examples in the appendix make the same statement, but do so in a context that defines what project management element is affected by the lesson learned, what the problem was that led to the lesson being learned, and how the lesson learned can serve future projects before a problem arises.
What is required for a Department of Commerce lesson learned?
In order to be easily accessible and beneficial across the Department, lessons-learned should have the same look and feel. Just as it is important that project managers have a common understanding of the practices and terminology employed in their profession, it is equally important that the lessons learned they contribute be presented in a manner that is easily understood by their peers.
The appendix below contains a table and directions for recording lessons learned for your organization and for the use of others:
Lessons Learned and Process Improvements
Operating Unit:
Project Name:
Point of Contact (POC): Name, phone, email.
Which project management areas are involved?
* (Integration, scope, time, cost, execution, quality, human resources, communications, risk, procurement.)
Briefly describe the problem or situation including any relevant context such as stage of project.
How was the problem resolved or the process improved?
Lesson learned: How can this problem be avoided in the future or how can the process be improved?
Identify the project management area or areas in which the problem occurred or improvement was made.
*The project management areas identified below are based on the PMBOK project management areas and project management processes:
Integration management: the processes and activities that integrate the various elements of project management that are coordinated within the project management groups.
Scope: the processes involved in ascertaining that the project includes all the work required.
Time: the processes concerning the timely completion of the project or any of its components.
Cost: the processes involved that assure the project is completed within the estimated budget.
Quality: the processes involved that assure the project will satisfy the objectives for which it was undertaken.
Human resources: the processes that train organize and manage the project team.
Communications: the processes concerning the timely and appropriate generation of reports and project information.
Risk: the processes concerned with conducting risk management on the project.
Procurement: the processes that purchase or acquire products and services.
It is likely that problems or improvements will cut across more than one of the above project management elements.
Brief description of the problem or process
This description should include all relevant information including the context. Context could include the project phase, nature of dispute, or type of redesign. To maintain uniformity among these descriptions it is preferable to use the PMBOK definition of project life cycle phases: initial phase (idea, charter, team formation), intermediate phase (project plan, baseline, progress acceptance), and final phase (approval, handover). The impact of the problem on project cost, schedule, and scope should also be considered and described. The goal of Lessons Learned is to offer information that will be useful to managers in outside organizations in addition to managers within the organization under discussion. Therefore, descriptions should be written to be comprehensible to any project management professional. To achieve this result it is recommended that all descriptions should be free from insider organizational jargon. Acronyms should be spelled out.
How was the problem resolved?
Provide a brief account of the steps that were taken to solve the problem or improve the process.
An example of a filled-in lessons learned table appears below.
Lessons Learned and Process Improvements
Operating Unit (OU):
Operating Unit (OU)
Project Name:
Hardware Installation
Point of Contact (POC): Name, phone, email.
John Q. Public, 202-111-9999, email@example.com
Which project management areas are involved?
(Integration, scope, time, cost, execution, quality, human resources, communications, risk, procurement).
1. Communications.
2. Time, execution.
3. Scope, integration, quality.
4. Execution.
5. Human resources.
Briefly describe the problem or situation including any relevant context such as stage of project.
1. There was a lack of reporting even at agreed upon levels. Consistency was not maintained among the reports.
2. The OU used too much time to accompany the vendor during the execution phase.
3. The OU's technical design is inadequate.
4. Implementation activities were not carried out within the selected parameters.
5. A lack of technical training prevented the government from performing effective monitoring of vendor.
How was the problem resolved or the process improved?
1. It was agreed to add the maintenance of a project management (PM) workbook as a task in future versions of the statement of work (SOW).
2. Assurance was made to channel all communications through the prime vendor only. Data was uploaded to a sharepoint on a timely basis. The role of the contracting officer's representative (COR) was strengthened and assurances made to coordinate work through the COR.
3. Assurance was made to hold vendor to specifics of design detail. Implementation and design tasks were both delegated to a single vendor. Emphases were placed on the significance of the presence of key personnel.
4. Assurances were made to maintain a single point of contact on site during the execution phase. Therefore, no work was performed at any site that did not have a designated point of contact.
5. Decision was made to increase budget for training and to place greater emphasis on government employee personnel skills and abilities.
Lesson learned: How can this problem be avoided in the future or how can the process be improved?
1. Ensure consistency of report. Use project management workbook on a daily basis as needed. COR should gather information for PM workbook. PM workbook maintenance should be tasked to vendor in the SOW.
2. Ensure vendor's awareness of role in SOW. Communicate only with prime vendor. SOW should specify single POC. SOW must specify line of communication between PM and COR. Vendor staff must coordinate work through COR. Payment to vendor must be timely. Establish accounts payable process. Immediately upload data to sharepoint. Audit deliverables on monthly or quarterly basis.
3. Maintain adequate expertise. Specify that design and implementation be performed by the same vendor. Balance between flexibility and level of detail. Vendor should explicitly define solution. Vendor should provide adequate detail into design. Vendor should ensure that proper personnel are used.
4. Base SOW on design. Prime contractor should have POC on site at all times during execution. POC should be PM or technical manager. If execution is at multiple sites, work should only be done on the site at which the POC is available. Vendor staff must have proper security clearances.
5. Allocate budget for training and request in SOW.

While I'm pretty sure I'll never own this particular riding boot (it does have an $895 price tag...shrug), it never hurts to stare, right? Since I'm a believer in heels, I believe every girl should have LOTS of them in her closet. But, another staple should be a solid pair of riding boots like "Katherine" from Steven Dann. They're pretty much riding boot perfection...the tiny little lock makes me swoon.
Top reasons I look forward to fall? (1) cool air, (2) capes (3) pumpkin everything and (4) riding boots. I mean, I could honestly live in a pair all freaking fall (maybe the $895 would be invested wisely then...I'm talking this over in my head...one sec...). And even if you have riding boots - there's always room to vary it up. If you only own suede, you must try out leather. Only black in the closet? Well, ya gotta have brown, too...in suede...and leather...some with a low heel, some with a major heel. Oh, the options. I'm slowly collecting them all and since I don't have chocolate brown in a low heel...ok, ok...I think I'm talking myself into this one!
P.S. One tip with riding boots? Make sure if you're not trying them on you get the circumference - that will tell you how wide they are on the calf. Mine are wide, so this is major important for me. I just sent back a lonely pair of boots, actually because they wouldn't zip. Pesky calves - I loathe you.

Corrections official: Michigan escapee Susan LeFevre could serve 5-plus years
Now the questions: Will she serve out her sentence, face extra time for escaping from prison or go free?
State Department of Corrections spokesman Russ Marlan says he doubts she will serve 10 years, but may end up serving 5 1/2 years before she could seek parole in 2013.
Convicted in 1974 of taking $600 from an undercover officer during a heroin drug sting, she served nearly a year of her 10- to 20-year sentence at the Robert Scott Correctional Facility in Plymouth before escaping.
"An escape charge could add five years, max, and could be concurrent, but that would be up to the judge."
Her case will land in the hands or Wayne County Prosecutor Kym L. Worthy.
Worthy on Thursday afternoon said her office won't take action until they receive a warrant request from the state police.
However, state police Inspector Charles "Chuck" R. Allen, assistant district commander for the third district, said the warrant for a charge of prison escape is already in the system -- filed when LeFevre escaped in 1976.
"It's up to the prosecutor to review, but this is pretty simple -- a person escaped. There's no need to worry about finding witnesses from back then: She was gone, and now she's caught."
Gov. Jennifer M. Granholm has the power to grant clemency, said Granholm's press secretary, Liz Boyd.
"If someone wants clemency they must file an application with the Department of Corrections, the parole board will consider it and will send their recommendation to the governor," Boyd said. "She will approve or deny it."
Granholm has initiated a clemency advisory council, to assist the parole board in considering applications.
"The priorities are the elderly, those medically fragile, and foreign nationals who could be deported upon release," Boyd said. "In all cases, inmates must not be deemed to be a threat to public safety."
Boyd would not speculate on LeFevre's chances.
"There's a process that has to be followed," she said. "We get hundreds of requests each year, possibly thousands."
Since January 2003, Granholm has commuted only 20 sentences. The first 18 were for medical reasons.
"The inmates were terminally ill and not expected to live, in most cases less than 12 months," Boyd said.

Travel Updates
Anzac Day terror warning for Australians travelling to Turkey
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- April 21, 2013
AUSTRALIANS attending Gallipoli's Anzac Day dawn service are being warned of the possibility of a terrorist attack in the country.
Visitors making the April 25 pilgrimage are being told to "exercise a high degree of caution in Turkey because of the high threat of terrorist attack".
The warnings, contained in the Department of Foreign Affairs' Smartraveller bulletin for Turkey and Anzac travellers, ask people to be aware terrorists are constantly active in the country.
The latest attack was in February when a suicide bomber targeted the US Embassy in Ankara, killing himself and a security guard and injuring others.
The Turkish Government has warned the group claiming responsibility is planning further attacks.
There have been nine notable events since 2010, and Australian Amanda Rigg, 22, was killed when a suicide bomber hit an Istanbul police station in 2001.
"Terrorist attacks can occur anywhere at any time in Turkey," the travel advice says.
"In recent years, terrorist attacks have occurred in tourist areas and locations frequented by foreigners.
"Foreigners have been killed and injured."
Terrorism expert Professor Clive Williams, from the Australian National University, said Australian tourists were not usually targets but the advice was sensible.
Travellers risked being caught in "the wrong place", as Ms Rigg had been, he said.
"She was not targeted, she just happened to be where a bomb went off," Professor Williams said.
"In Turkey, the main target is the government and then second is the United States and then third is the UK.
"You just need to be careful where you go and what you do in Turkey."
Travellers should avoid government offices, embassies and consulates, be wary in busy areas like transport hubs and exercise particular care around significant local dates, like May Day on May 1.
Those considering travelling to areas bordering with Syria, Iraq and Iran are told to reconsider their need to travel.

This definitely has a nice scent and it is reminiscent of pink frosted animal crackers, but I wish it lingered on the skin longer. This was a great deal on sale (not much more than other body washes) but is very overpriced otherwise. I wont try it as a shampoo since my hair is picky, but I imagine it would make a nice bubble bath. Since it's a big bottle I'll have it for a while and update when it's cool enough to attempt bath time! Speaking of that, I had to decant some of it in a travel bottle so the big bottle doesn't get dropped or weigh down my shower shelf.
Pros: Nice scent with bonus childhood memories flashbacks, cute packaging, decent body wash and long lasting. Not my idea of shampoo but is multi purpose in an emergency.
Cons: The bottle is huge and an awkward shape, it makes it cute but a pain in the shower. Dropped it the very first time I used it. Scent does not last long after the shower for such a pricey item.

I received this as a gift, and am pleasantly surprised with it. I have tried a few other Philosophy 3-in-1s and wasn't too impressed. I feared this one would smell too sugary or cloying, but it doesn't. I was thinking it was to smell like animal crackers, which it doesn't - it smells like baked goods, but not too sweet. But, then after reading the below comments, I guess there is specifically some frosted animal cookies that this is to smell like - I'd never heard of them. Lol!
I've only really used this as a shower gel, and I really like it. A little bit lathers up a lot and it is cleansing without being drying. The scent doesn't remain on te skin, which I prefer as it won't interfere with my lotion of perfume. I likely wouldn't buy this though as it's good but not amazing for the price.

I love Philosophy products and this one is no exception. This product smells so good. I did try it as all three. Prefer it more as a bubble bath or as a body wash. The smell is spot on. It was worth the money in my book.

For me some Philosophy scents are hit or miss. This was one that I actually went back and smelled a few times if I was near an Ulta or other store that sold Philosophy.
� Pricing: I ordered this online since I had a deal with shipping, and 3 free mini items. Cost: $16.50 for a full size 16oz. If you can grab this online while they have deals or in-stores where you can use reward points or something then you can score this for a steal. But 16 oz for $16 means it is a little over a dollar per ounce.
� Scent & Usage: The scent I must say is right on. It literally smells like those pink & white Circus Animal frosted animal cookies. If you loved this as a kid (or even now) you'll find this scent to be spot on. While I don't use this for a bubble bath or shampoo, I use it as a shower gel and you don't need much. This lathers quite well in a loofah or wash cloth. To me this scent doesn't fill the bathroom air as much as say, my favorite Sugar Sprinkles Funnel Cake but it still is nice.

I almost didn't buy this as a few other Philosophy scents that included "frosted" something I was not fond of but I'm so glad I tried this. It smells exactly like those sprinkled frosted animal crackers. Every time I smell it I am tempted to go buy some of those childhood favorite cookies. Spot on scent!

My aunt lived near a Nabisco factory, and sometimes when we visited her we could smell the fresh-baked vanilla wafers permeating the air. This smells just like them! I'm not really getting much of a frosting note, which is good as I prefer to have it smell more like the crackers than frosting. I did only give this a four out of five, however, because the scent is so light - it disappears even as I'm lathering and doesn't linger in the shower, let alone on your skin. Nevertheless this is another great foody scent from Philosophy.

Oooh this is lovely. Smells so sweet and delicious. This does smell like an animal cracker! The frosting is quite vanilla with a faint air of lemon. The bottle is so cute. Philosophy makes one of the best body wash formulas in my opinion. I also purchased the matching lip shine which I wish was more "frosted animal cracker" flavored.
UPDATE:This is amazing, perhaps one of the best ever in the 3-in1 world.I got 2 backups.It's that good!

This smells absolutely amazing in the bottle!! I'm not sure if I'm getting the "frosted animal cracker" smell though. To me, it smells like a lemon pound cake or vanilla pound cake with a lemon glaze. In the shower the lemony scent comes out more than it doesn in the bottle. I am enjoying this scent, but I don't think I would purposefully seek out a bottle to purchase in the future.

Bold Predictions: The Rest of the Way
Oct 31, 2006, 12:59 AM EDT
vs. Dallas (4-3)—Mark Brunell seems to have his best games just when the criticism is the most intense. Gregg Williams and company will have had two weeks to figure out Tony Romo. Win 3-5
at Philadelphia (4-4)—The Eagles had an embarrassing offensive performance at home against Jacksonville and they will have had two weeks to try to figure out how to fix it. Loss 3-6
at Tampa Bay (2-5)—This could be one of the ugliest games ever—or at least since the Redskins' last trip there for last year's playoff game. Win 4-6
vs. Carolina (4-4)—This just in—the Panthers aren't that good. They could be considered the second-biggest bust in the NFC after the Redskins. Look for a game at FedEx like the one against the Jaguars with the team that has the ball last pulling out a win. The Skins get it last again. Win 5-6
vs. Atlanta (5-2)—Donovan McNabb has always given the Redskins fits and Mike Vick is turning into McNabb only he's faster, more elusive, and he has a better arm. And, unlike McNabb's, his team can run the ball. Loss 5-7
vs. Philadelphia (4-4)—After facing Vick, McNabb will be a cinch to deal with. The Eagles' unwillingness and/or inability to run the ball will kill them in December. Win 6-7
at New Orleans (5-2)—The early wave of emotion that carried the Saints early in the season has been slowed considerably by the fact that they just don't have very many good football players. Win 7-7.
at St. Louis (4-3)—The Rams still should be in contention in the mediocre NFC West at this point and that dome is a very tough place to win. Still, the Redskins find a way to get it done. Win 8-7
vs. New York Giants (5-2)—The Redskins don't match up well with the New York and, assuming that the Giants remain reasonably healthy between now and then, the season will end with the Redskins at .500. Loss 8-8.

I don't see a win in St Louis because Steven Jackson + Tory Holt will create big problems for the Skins. Teams with legitimate threats at both RB and WR will create problems for the Redskins leaky defense. On the road, in the dome, with the current tactics feels more like an L than a W to me. Let's hope I am wrong.
- Joe - Oct 31, 2006 at 5:22 PM
It's hard to put any of these firmly in the W column if Brunell continues to start.
Seriously, the Titans. We lost to the Titans. Seriously.
- Anonymous - Nov 1, 2006 at 7:42 PM
Wow, It's great to see such dedication for your team. I've been a Bengals fan for close to two decades now and I understand your desperate optimism. I gotta say though, finishing 8-8 for the Skins seems a bit like a pipe dream. I'm not sure if I can agree with a couple of thos wins. I think 7-9 is more likely, and wouldn't be surprised by a 6-10 finish.
I expect the wheels to start falling off the Joe Gibbs bandwagon any day now. Al Saunders (Supported by ownership) will likely start making more decisions.
That's not going to be a comfortable tranisition for anyone, especially the players.
God luck though!

Last year, our losses(like the ones to the Chiefs, Broncos, Bucs, and Chargers) were close competitive games that we could have won. The Redskins were close all season long and towards the end they started putting things together and winning. This year has a completely different feel. We're not even competitive in many of our losses. We're not close – we look terrible out there for significant stretches. This is why I find it very difficult to have any hope that things will improve much. I will be very surprised if we end up 8-8. Our off-season personnel decisions have been a disaster. Example: we spent 10 million dollars for Adam Archuletta. Instead of that brilliant move, we could have spent 3 million on Adam Vinateri, 3 million on Ryan Clark and still have 4 million left over to sign a good 3rd cornerback (which would have made a huge difference). I love Gibbs, but he has not proven himself to be the best personnel guy. Remember Desmond Howard? Gibbs exact words "No holes." I heard an interview with Darrel Green who said he knew on the first day of practice that Howard wouldn't make in the NFL as a receiver. Gibbs probably spent months researching that draft pick. All he had to do was have Darrell go against him in a work out and 30 minutes later, he'd have his answer. Another bust (so far) Andre Carter. He is not good against the run and has been average as a pass rusher. Nobody can be perfect with personnel moves, but when you bungle enough of the big dollar moves, its going to catch up with you. I would be very surprised if we ended up 8-8, but you never know, miracles do happen every once in a while.

It's hard to argue with my man anonymous.
Three DC-area pro sports teams have recently figured out that the way to build a team is by *building* it, not buying it. The Wizards FINALLY got a real GM and now they've been in the playoffs two years in a row. The Capitals FINALLY stopped trying to win by bringing in big free agents and so far they're on the upswing led by Ovechkin and Semin, among others. The Nationals–well, time will tell, but they're now owned by a group that has a history of building carefully and for the long haul.
Look for those three teams to be competitive for the long haul. I can only hope the Skins will learn from their example.

Some people never learn. I think Dan Snyder is the second coming of Al Davis, except without the Super Bowl victory. I read that since Snyder bought the team, the Redskins have signed 23 all-pro players. Of those all-pro players, a total of ZERO made all-pro while playing with the skins. That's classic Dan Snyder. Building a team? Not Snyder. We gave up a 3rd round pick for Duckett who hasn't been used and will be a free agent at the end of the year. A 3rd rounder is usually an inexpensive player who, depending on position, often contributes or starts for 3 or 4 years. Way to build a team Danny.

If Abe Pollin, who's 117 years old, can figure it out, so can Danny. Eventually.
Look, I'm no Snyder fan. But he's made incremental improvements. He's made himself less of the story each year. He's receded into the background, a bit. His next step is to hire a competent GM and let that GM do what he needs to do.
No guarantee Snyder will reach this point. I'm just saying he seems to be learning–slowly. Yeah, he soaks the fans for every dollar he can but he has _tried_ to put a good team together by bringing in numerous former All Pros. Hopefully the next thing he'll try is the smarter thing–i.e., getting football people to make football decisions.

It is not just a coincidence that the year we had our quietest off-season (last season) was the most successful regular season of the Dan Snyder era (2 games from the Super Bowl). Granted, the team's salary cap was so maxed out that the Skins had no choice other than have a quiet off-season. But it fostered team chemistry which clearly was critical down the stretch. Did Snyder learn from that? Not in the least. The very next year, when more cap room opened up, its back to the old Snyder ways of making off-season headlines by over-paying for free-agents and wreaking havoc on team chemistry. The Ryan Clark thing is a great example. Apparently, Clark and Sean Taylor were very close. Taylor, who is a bit of an introvert, really clicked on and off the field with Clark. Clark performed well and had fantastic on-field communication with Taylor. Clark could have been had for around 3 million bucks. Instead, Snyder and company let Clark go and signed Archuletta for a record $10 million. Archuletta has been an unmitigated bust, and Taylor does not look like the same player of last year. Great job Snyder. I admire the optimism of people who think Snyder can learn from his experiences. I haven't seen any evidence of that over the 8 seasons that Snyder has been the owner. At some point (8 seasons is that point), the painful pattern that Snyder has repeated year in and year out of burning draft picks like paper and focusing the offseason on splashy headline-inducing free agent over-spending, that has always lead to disastrous results, cannot be chalked up to inexperience. We're getting close to a point where Snyder's fool-hardy mistakes can no longer be chaulked up to the folly of a new, inexperienced owner. 8 Seasons is not enough to learn these things that the other teams in the NFL seem to magically know already? How many seasons will it take? 16 seasons? 25 seasons? 40 seasons? Because Snyder is young enough that he'll have that long to prove just how stupid he is at NFL ownership.

This team is worse than mediocre, and that's just what the Cowboys are. We weren't as good as them, and if someone hadn't pad the ref to give them over 130 yards worth of penalties then we would have lost. We will finish 3-13 and shouldn't be a franchise.

yeah snyder's been invisible this year. That's why he's making out with Tom Cruise during national televised games, and signing every overrated FA he can get his hands on in the offseason. Good thing we now have two safeties who hit big but can't cover.
Wouldn't be surprised if he tried to sign TO, but another owner who didn't know what he was doing beat him to it.

This team is worse than mediocre, and that's just what the Cowboys are.
This is for the closet cowboy fan who won't put a name with his anonymous post. The Skins out-coached and out-played your sorry team.
The Cowboys got every call, every non-call, and every spot to go their way. And they couldn't make good on it because of undisciplined play. Unsportmanlike penalties, false starts, and obvious pass interference calls are not the sign of bad officiating, it's the symptom of a poorly coached team.
The Skins just punched the sorry Cowboys in the face in what was quite possibly the final meeting between Gibbs and Parcells. Game, set, match. Go back to Dallas, chump, and in the words of my main man Tom Petty, "don't come around here no more."

Some of those Cowboys penalties would have been long completions, if not for the defensive pass interference calls, and I think one would have been a TD. In other words, the penalties in some cases helped Dallas, in keeping us out of the endzone or making big plays. TO is the one who lost the game for Dallas, not the refs. TO dropped what would have been the game winning TD.
- Anonymous - Nov 6, 2006 at 7:08 PM
IMO, three things lost the game for the Cowboys:
1) TO's bonheaded penalty after his TD. I don't really understand players getting these penalties. The rules may suck, but they know the rules. Just spike the ball and be done with it. Of course, if you are going to spike it, just be sure you don't smack the ref in the face like Marvin Harrison did in the Pats/Colts game.
2) TO missed 2 catches. One would have extended a drive and the other scored a TD.
3) What on earth was Parcells thinking when he opted to go for the 2 point conversion? If he hadn't done that, the end of the game would have been a lot different. Hindsight is 20-20, but you don't go for 2 when 1 will do early in a game.
Having said all this, I am glad the Skins won the game. They needed a boost. This will at least bolster their confidence.
One last thing. If I see Archuleta out in pass coverage again like he was against Witten in the final minute of the Cowboys game, I am going to pull my hair out. The guy cannot cover even the TE. Please put Vincent or Wright out there and not Archuleta. If he is going to cover someone, he will need help. Yeesh!
- Anonymous - Nov 7, 2006 at 3:24 PM
The media keep referring to Archuletta is the highest paid safety in the NFL. Is this true? If so, how could Gibbs have made such a huge personnel error? I saw a post-game interview with Greg Williams where he said Vincent would be the starting safety from now on. This is a disaster. If Archuletta cannot provide pass coverage, then he is not a viable safety, since that is one of the critical functions of a safety. So then what is he? Too small to be a linebacker, not a corner or safety. What a disaster.
- Kounter Trey - Nov 7, 2006 at 3:50 PM
I never said Snyder was invisible. He's going to be in the owner's box for games. I'm not sure he can avoid being shown on TV when he's in the box.
But he's not chewing his coaches out after games. He's not on the sidelines. He's not making himself the story.
He's got a lot to learn. But if George Steinbrenner can learn to stop messing with his franchise, Danny can learn to stop messing with his. Whether he will, who knows?
As for the penalties, many calls and non-calls went the Cowboys' way. I'm sure the play clock hit zero on two separate plays where the Cowboys weren't called for delay of game. They also had a couple of non-calls on extremely flagrant holds, especially one that happened right in front of Romo (and therefore in front of the ref).
- Joe - Nov 7, 2006 at 3:54 PM
Rich may know more about who is the highest paid. I saw some info about his contract that suggests that it's the richest CONTRACT for safety. There's a distinction because it is back-loaded so that the bulk of the money due comes in the final years and is not guaranteed.
He was paid $5M to sign with $1M roster bonuses every season that he's on the roster. His base salary is pretty low the first 2-3 years. Hence, after 2 years he could be cut and only would have made $7-$8M total. That's not bad money, but I bet guys like Ed Reed are making more.
Coincidentally, the Redskins use this technique a lot because it allows the player's agent to brag about the size of the contract. If the player works out, it's worth it. I he doesn't then he can be released after a couple seasons without taking a huge cap hit. It's one of those things that the media doesn't mention when they print headlines like, "Highest Paid Safety Ever!!!"

The Dryland Agriculture Institute and the Continuing Education Center at West Texas A&M University will use the Panhandle Information Network on three evenings - two in February and one in March - to present a course on water management.
"Agricultural Water Management" will meet from 7 to 10 p.m. on Feb. 16, Feb. 23 and March 2 at high schools in Hart, Spearman and Sunray through PIN, an Internet consortium that links dozens of Panhandle school districts to the information superhighway. The course will originate from the Hastings Electronic Learning Center at WT's Cornette Library and can be attended there as well. Participants at each site will be able to communicate via PIN's interactive televisions.
The course will be taught by Bob Stewart, professor of agriculture and director of the Dryland Agriculture Institute, and by Clay Robinson, assistant professor of plant science.
"It is critically important to use our water efficiently," Stewart said. "As our water table declines, the irrigation portion of our agriculture is going to continue to decline. We've got to better manage what we've got left and utilize our rainfall. Rainfall is the only source of water for dryland farmers. If you are an irrigation farmer, rainfall is still your most important source of water."
Cost of the course, which will focus on basic principles of water conservation and water-use efficiency, is $45. The first session Feb. 16 will deal with the relationship between soil and water.
The second session Feb. 23 will focus on the relationship between crops and water. The final session March 2 will be on soil fertility, Stewart said.
Farmers, county agents, resource conservationists, crop consultants and others interested in maximizing the use of precipitation and limited irrigation resources are encouraged to enroll in the course. Continuing education units will be awarded to participants attending the course, Stewart said. Participants must sign up for all courses even if they are unable to attend all three sessions, Stewart said.
For more information or to register, call the Continuing Education Center at 651-2037.

I am interning in Brasilia for the United Nations Development Programme's International Policy Center, which carries out research on inclusive growth. The UN developed the concept "inclusive growth" to identify a growth process and growth outcomes in which most citizens are actively involved. I will be a research intern with the social protection team – trying to think about mechanisms that provide protection but also foster initiative.
This summer I hope to get a better sense of international practices (both good and bad) of social protection. I recognize that it is an extremely difficult task to develop appropriate social protection measures and possibly even more difficult job of trying to reform measures that have been in place for sometime. I hope that my research can help to identify some applicable lessons that can be considered when developing or reforming social protection schemes.
I look forward to staying in Brazil for almost three months. Although I have had the privilege of living in and visiting so many places, I have never been to South or Central America. In fact, it is a region that I know very little about. I certainly have no grasp of Spanish let alone Portuguese. Nevertheless, my international experience will hopefully help me to integrate with locals and make for a rewarding experience. Throughout all my travels I have come to appreciate the universal language of kindness. We Iranians are famous for our superb hospitality – thus my standards are probably quite high – but people around the world never fail to amaze me with their kindness and humanity.
Some guy suddenly left Brasilia, so a room opened up in a five bedroom apartment where one of the Brazilian interns is staying. I got really lucky in my flat hunting. I can remember all the problems my family has had when we moved to find a suitable place. I am so grateful that I got it easy this time. The four others are all amazingly friendly Brazilians who speak great English. The neighborhood is also solid and it is only a 30 minute walk or 10 minute bus ride to the office. The cool thing is that I get to pass the "Three Powers Square" on the way – it is where the Supreme Court, Senate, and Presidential Palace are. Our office is on the 7th floor of the Ministry of the Army and we have a great view of the "esplanada" (the big boulevard with all the ministries and the Three Powers Square). However, it is a bit weird to enter the building and elevators that are packed with soldiers.
Anyway, I will try to write more soon but I hope this first post gives you a decent basic introduction before I get into the fun details!

The SEC-themed web site Saturday Down South has completed its rundown of what it believes were the 25 best players in the conference this season, with Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel coming in at No. 1.
Manziel, who again led the SEC in total offense with 4,873 yards and carried his team to a 9-4 record despite a sieve-like defense, makes a strong case for deserving the honor. He could also possibly be the No. 1 pick in May's NFL draft.
Auburn running back Tre Mason, who led the SEC in rushing and placed sixth in Heisman Trophy voting, is No. 2 and consensus All-America Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley is No. 3.
The rest of the list, however, contains some curious placement and even more curious omissions.
No. 4 on the list is South Carolina quarterback Connor Shaw, chosen above Alabama's AJ McCarron, LSU's Zach Mettenberger, Georgia's Aaron Murray and Auburn's Nick Marshall despite placing eighth in the conference in passing yardage per game and 10th in total offense.
The site's rationale: "Shaw's TD to INT ratio was absurd, and no other passer in the country played more efficiently. Shaw did nothing flashy, but he was a winner."
Actually, although his 24 touchdowns to one interception was impressive, Shaw was fourth in the conference in passing efficiency, behind Manziel, Mettenberger and McCarron.
McCarron, who placed second in Heisman Trophy voting, is No. 18 on the SDS list; Murray, second in the SEC in total offense and passing yards per game, is No. 9; and Mettenberger is No. 25.
Marshall, who led Auburn to the BCS national championship game, was left off the list entirely, as was Tiger defensive end Dee Ford, who was second in the SEC in sacks (10.5) and tied for second in tackles for loss (14.5). All-America Alabama safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix also was omitted.
Mason and offensive tackle Greg Robinson (No. 12) were the only Auburn players listed, while Mosley and McCarron represented Alabama.
Missouri had the most players on the list with five: defensive ends Michael Sam and Kony Ealy, running back Henry Josey, cornerback E.J. Gaines and receiver Dorial Green-Beckham. South Carolina and LSU had four each.
What do you think? Take our poll below for No. 1, or list your top five in the comments below.
