I thought it would be super cute to but this scent with 444 soy wax in a champagne glass candle. I was right, it so was! Plus, this scent was bubbly and perfect!

I use the Joy Wax to make candles/tarts. This smells just like the body spray from VS. I used 1 oz to 1 lb of wax and the smell is amazing. It smells a little weak the day you pour but the next morning, I can smell it without taking the lid off. Will definitely keep this in stock!

I thought this smelled really quite nice. I am not a fan of th VS scent so I was not expecting to like this one. It smelled really good to me. It has a crisp, light, girly smell to me but I don't get the champagne or strawberry scents. I chose to rename it and my customers all like it as well.

This is a dead on duplication that all my female customers love! This FO had an amazing hot and cold scent throw in tarts using soy 464 and candles using IGI 4627. Fabulous.

It is sweet, but not overly so. Not at all floral which I like. I can't stop smelling this. I'm a huge fan of the NG Loving Spell and this one is great too! Very nice in soap. No issues at all.

When I first smelt this OOB it wasn't that strong and I could mainly smell the champayne, I was concerned how it would throw when made into a candle - but after making a candle with it I now love it! it is just the right mixture of strawberries and champayne - I had purchased another champayne and strawberries from another supplier and the strawberries overpowered the rest of the fragrance. It has a great throw as well in soy wax.

I use to wear VS strawberries & champagne. When I spotted this FO on here I got excited. After all NG usually has great FO's. But after smelling this OOTB & then in wax all it smelled like to me is aqua net hair spray...yuck. I really wanted this to smell spot on. I will not reorder this. Hair spray scented products aren't big sellers around here...

I fell in love the moment I smelled this! Its sweet, flirty, romantic, and just irresistible. One of the most wonderful scents I've ever come across. I use it in various bath and body products.
My sister had the perfume years ago, and it tickled me pink to smell it every now and then. So glad you have this fragrance, I will be keeping it in my collection for good!

The European golfers who built a monument to the spirit of Seve Ballesteros in a golden Ryder Cup autumn cut much less inspiring figures in the sodden summer greenery of the famous old Merion course in Pennsylvania on the eve of the US Open.
But then, you might well ask, when was it otherwise? The answer is brief and brutal.
The boys who for so long have decorated the top-10 rankings while amassing so many millions, whose Ryder Cup glory begins to resemble something like parole time from the killing pressures of major-tournament golf, certainly have a huge debt to Graeme McDowell and his currently embattled compatriot Rory McIlroy.
Their one-two winning punches in this great tournament in 2010 and 2011 broke a pattern that rivalled English football in its post-1966 futility. Before the Irish breakthrough you had to go back to Tony Jacklin's 1970 win and marching back beyond that triumph is another huge trek, all the way to US-based Scottish pro Willie Macfarlane's win in 1925.
However, there is a reward – one that seems almost surreal in these days of skeletal major pickings for raiders from this side of the Atlantic – in that huge journey: an epic victory over the great Bobby Jones, one that required two 18-hole play-off rounds.
So why is it that the US Open is almost invariably a bastion of American strength while the only major tournament played on this side of the Atlantic is so regularly plundered by Uncle Sam, who boasts 11 Open winners in the last 18 tournaments?
Sooner or later we have to confront the question of competitive character, an ability to live effectively under the fiercest individual pressure.
Sir Nick Faldo, whose best US Open finish was a second place in 1988 while marching to three US Masters and three Open wins, insists, "If you want to win majors you just have to be absolutely single-minded. When I was a kid I wanted to be a golf machine, I was willing to hit millions of golf balls if that's what it took – and then when I won a few majors I realised the really hard work had just begun."
It is a considerable morsel for thought at a time when we hear that one potential McIlroy response to questions about his crisis of form was to run up the Philadelphia Museum of Art's 72 steps and mimic the posturing of Rocky Balboa.
Of course McIlroy has given evidence he could be a man of the golfing ages. He did not so much win the US Open and US PGA titles as annexe them but in the rush to unimaginable wealth, helped along by a change of clubs, which Faldo was derided for suggesting might represent a major check on career momentum, has he begun to rival the steeliness of Tiger Woods when he was 24?
The evidence is less than convincing.
Back when Woods was laying down his claims to be the greatest golfer of all time, the legendary Gary Player fired a broadside at two hugely gifted Europeans, Lee Westwood and Darren Clarke, pointing out that for all their talent they were demonstrably unfit, and certainly when compared to his young companion in the gym that morning.
It happened to be Tiger Woods, of whom the spiky South African declared, "He was pumping weights, doing the kind of thing which you need to do if you want to be equipped to be a great player in the modern game."
That may be history now but at Merion in the next few days there is every chance of it recurring.
Whether the restored world No 1 comes under the most serious pressure is a question that needs to be answered by at least one of the four Europeans currently installed among the world's top 10; McIlroy, Justin Rose, Luke Donald and McDowell.
All of them have displayed strands of brilliance and two of them have achieved the great prize of a major title. On the Ryder Cup battlefield they waxed strong in each other's company, producing all the nerve and the panache you would ever want to see.
Now, though, they seem to be back in the world of chance and speculation. Donald, who in the past has been so restive over claims that a great golfer can only properly define himself while fighting for a major crown, talks of a possible happy omen – his discovery of an old 1-iron, the club Ben Hogan used to force a winning play-off at Merion 63 years ago. Rose says that he has done the required work – and that he is ready. McIlroy claims that rain has softened the course to his best requirements.
Meanwhile, Sergio Garcia desperately seeks to repair the damage caused by his hapless insulting of Tiger Woods.
For the pick of European golf the old American fortress can rarely have seemed less like a comfort zone.Reuse content

ChelanMan to push on despite weather, smoke
CHELAN — Temperatures of more than 110 degrees and nearly hazardous levels of smoke would normally be enough to stop any prospective athletic event in its tracks.

tomato anemone fish and regal tang
will a tomato clown and a regal tand get along together?
They should get along well together, from an aggression viewpoint. However, the Regal Tang is a large growing fish and needs a ton of swimming space for proper health. You would want at least a 125 gallon aquarium, and probably a 180 gallon or larger tank to keep this fish.
Also, you can not "upgrade" to a larger tank later, because the Tang family grows to 75% of its adult size within the first year of its life. By the time you upgrade, the damage is already done to its development.
For the reader... the Regal Tang is more commonly sold as a Hippo Tang, and more commonly known as Dori from the Nemo movie.

[authors: Wendi L. Kotzen, Christopher A. Jones]
The General Assembly recently enacted several laws that make various changes to Pennsylvania taxes. These changes present traps for the unwary as well as planning opportunities for businesses and individuals seeking to reduce their Pennsylvania tax liability.
Corporate Taxes
Single-Factor Apportionment for Corporate Net Income Tax
Pennsylvania traditionally required corporate taxpayers with business both inside and outside of Pennsylvania to apportion business income to Pennsylvania for Corporate Net Income Tax purposes based on (i) the percentage of the taxpayer's payroll inside of Pennsylvania, (ii) the percentage of the taxpayer's property inside of Pennsylvania, and (iii) the percentage of the taxpayer's sales inside of Pennsylvania (the PA Sales Factor). In recent years, the PA Sales Factor has been given increased weight; currently, the PA Sales Factor is given 90 percent of the weight in apportioning business income.
For tax years beginning after December 31, 2012, the payroll and property factors will be eliminated and the PA Sales Factor will be the sole apportionment factor for Corporate Net Income Tax purposes. This change creates a tax benefit to corporations that are located in Pennsylvania and have large numbers of Pennsylvania employees.
Continued Phase-Out of Capital Stock / Foreign Franchise Tax
The scheduled phase-out of Pennsylvania's Capital Stock / Foreign Franchise Tax remains on schedule to expire effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2013.
Changes to Corporate Tax Report Obligations
For tax years beginning after December 31, 2012, the deadline for reporting federal changes to the Department of Revenue will be extended from 30 days to six months after the federal change becomes final. Also, for tax years beginning after December 31, 2012, the due date for Pennsylvania corporate tax reports will automatically be extended if an extension to file the federal tax return is granted.
Realty Transfer Tax
New limits will be imposed on so-called 89/11 transactions, where a seller transfers 89 percent of an interest in a real estate company and then waits three years before transferring the remaining 11 percent interest. Under previous law, no realty transfer tax was imposed on such a transaction because there was not a transfer of 90 percent or more of a real estate company within a three-year period.
Under the new law, realty transfer tax will be imposed if (i) there is a "legally binding commitment" to transfer 90 percent or more of a real estate company within a three-year period, (ii) the terms of the transfer are fixed and not subject to negotiation, and (iii) the transferring party receives the full consideration within the three-year period.
The change does not apply to a transaction or a series of transactions that occurs in whole or in part before January 1, 2013.
Expansion of Pennsylvania Tax Credits
Several new laws substantially expand the availability of tax credits:
Educational Improvement Tax Credit
Currently, there is a tax credit available for an eligible business that contributes funds to (i) a scholarship organization, (ii) an educational improvement organization, or (iii) a pre-K scholarship program. The credit is equal to 75 percent of the amount contributed for a single contribution or 90 percent of the amount contributed if the eligible business makes a two-year commitment. The tax credit must be used in the tax year of the contribution and may not be carried forward, carried back, sold or assigned. The new law raises the amount of the credit that an eligible business may claim from $300,000 to $400,000 for the 2012-13 fiscal year and $750,000 for years thereafter (although smaller caps apply to credits for contributions to pre-K scholarship organizations). The new law also makes it easier for the owner of a pass-through entity to claim the credit for a contribution by the pass-through entity. Finally, the annual cap on aggregate credits was increased from $75 million to $100 million.
Job Creation Tax Credit
Currently, there is a tax credit available for the creation of new jobs in Pennsylvania by a qualified taxpayer. The credit may be used to offset tax liabilities in the year the new jobs are created or carried forward for five years. The new law increases the credit from $1,000 per job to $2,500 per job. The annual cap on aggregate credits was increased from $40 million to $55 million. Additionally, the new law clarifies that $11 million of the credits must be set aside for businesses that employ 100 or fewer individuals if such small businesses agree to increase the number of employees by 10 percent within three years.
Film Production Tax Credit
Currently, there is a 25 percent tax credit available to a film production company that spends at least 60 percent of its total film production budget in Pennsylvania. The credit may be used to offset tax liabilities in the year the expenses are incurred or carried forward for three years. Additionally, a film production company may apply for approval to sell or assign the credits. The new law expands the existing credit to include an additional 5 percent credit for filming in a "qualified production facility" located in Pennsylvania. Additionally, the new law allows a purchaser or assignee of credits during 2010 to carry the credits forward for use against 2011 or 2012 tax liabilities and allows, in future years, banks and insurance companies to purchase the credits. Finally, the annual cap on aggregate credits in future years was set at $60 million.
Educational Opportunity Scholarship Tax Credit
A new tax credit is available for an eligible business that contributes to a new organization formed to offer opportunity scholarships to students residing within the area of a public school that is ranked in the lowest 15 percent in the state based on certain academic criteria. The credit is equal to 75 percent of the amount contributed for a single contribution or 90 percent of the amount contributed if the business makes a two-year commitment. The tax credit must be used in the tax year of the contribution and may not be carried forward, carried back, sold or assigned. The annual cap on total credits is $400,000 for the 2012-13 fiscal year and $750,000 for years thereafter.
Historic Preservation Tax Credit
A new tax credit is available for taxpayers that incur qualified expenditures to rehabilitate a qualified historic structure. The Department of Community and Economic Development, together with the Department of Revenue, will release guidance implementing technical aspects of applying for and claiming the credits but, beginning on July 1, 2013, a taxpayer will be able to apply for approval and, upon making approved qualified expenditures, receive a credit of up to 25 percent of the qualified expenditures, up to a maximum $500,000 per taxpayer. The annual cap on total credits is $3 million. Additionally, a taxpayer may apply for approval to sell or assign the credits.
Community-Based Services Tax Credit
A new tax credit is available, effective for the fiscal year July 1, 2013, for an eligible business that makes a contribution to a nonprofit entity that provides community-based services to individuals with intellectual disabilities or mental illnesses. An eligible business may receive a credit of up to 50 percent of the qualified contributions, up to $100,000 per business. The tax credit must be used in the tax year of the contribution and may not be carried forward, carried back, sold or assigned. The annual cap on total credits is $3 million.
Pennsylvania Resource Manufacturing Tax Credit
A new saleable and assignable tax credit is available to an eligible business that purchases ethane for purposes of manufacturing ethylene at a facility in Pennsylvania in the amount of $0.05 per gallon of ethane used between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2042. This credit is only available for an eligible business that makes a capital investment of at least $1 billion and creates at least 2,500 new jobs. This credit is designed to provide an additional incentive for Shell Chemical LC to build a $4 billion petrochemical complex in an area of Beaver County that previously was designated as a Keystone Opportunity Zone.
Sales and Use Tax
Welcome relief has been provided to taxpayers required to make prepayments of sales tax as a result of a 2011 change to the sales and use tax law. Under the new law, taxpayers with reported sales tax liability between $25,000 and $100,000 during the third quarter of the previous year are required to make a prepayment equal to or greater than 50 percent of the current month's liability as opposed to 50 percent of the preceding year's liability for the same month.
Also, there are new exclusions and exemptions from sales and use tax:

Saving power with PowerTOP
Intel's PowerTOP analysis tool helps optimize power usage and shows you the power guzzlers hiding out on your operating system.
If you dual-boot your laptop with Windows and Linux, you may have noticed a strange phenomenon – the battery lasts longer on Windows than on Linux. When this happens, people normally start tweaking their systems – unloading modules for power guzzling hardware, changing the ACPI settings, and dimming the display.
Recently, kernel developers have started to put more thought into the power situation; thanks to new kernel features, you can reduce your system's power consumption. PowerTOP is a tool that helps you manage and optimize power usage.

Default Directory for Pictures
Does anyone know if there's a way to set a default directory for pictures? When I go to attach a picture to a text message (for example) it defaults to SDCard/Camera, however, I have my picutres stored in SDCard/Pictures. In addition if I take a screen snap it saves in Device/Camera. Navigating to the right folder is somewhat cumbersome and I'd rather just default all my pictures into one folder so I can grab and attach them easily. So I guess there are two questions here:
- Can you set the default directory for where screen shots are saved?
- Can you set the default directory where the phone goes to when attaching pictures to messages?

I am not entirely sure if there is a real benefit or not, it sparked my interest when I saw those videos last week. Lots of CD players and DACs do upsampling. By upsampling they insert zero valued samples between original samples (all the original information is still there) to produce 192kHz. They operate more optimally at those frequencies, the DAC is better able to use filters to move the noise to higher frequencies so you don't hear it. I have been testing 24/44kHz with 24/192kHz for the past hour, although its very hard to detect, I think the 192kHz does sound better for my system.
For those interested,

Potent Prep Performances from Coast to Coast
HALLANDALE BEACH, FL, October 2, 2016—If Saturday's first salvo in a series of "Super Saturday" Breeders' Cup prep programs is any indication, the seminal events figure to be something truly special.
And it all started with the latest embodiment of what "America's Horse" should look like. Or, as race caller Michael Wrona described it: "California Chrome was awesome again in the Awesome Again."
Never has the brilliant five-year-old chestnut been better than he is right now. The same can no longer be said of champion mare Beholder. The six-year-old mare is still extremely competitive and someday might even benefit from her preferred stalking trip.
But make no mistake: Four-year-old Stellar Wind is for real. And as for Songbird making it a three-way in the Distaff? Well, she's Songbird after all.
In New York, the glitz was less shiny. In some cases, a lot less.
It was clear on the final turn of the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic that the mighty Flintshire was struggling on the wet ground. His fans and backers now must wait until his feet hit Santa Anita's new billiard-table turf carpet at Santa Anita. Thus far it looks and acts as advertised; a great surface
In the Grade 1 Vosburgh, speedy longshot Green Gratto took the rapid X Y Jet by the throatlatch early and set the table for late runners on a sealed wet track that did the favorite no favors. Still, we thought he should have hung in there a little bit longer.
While European turf runners routinely clean the clock of their American rivals, it will take their best to handle impressive juvenile Oscar Performance, who appears all set for an Eclipse Award leading role in the Juvenile Turf.
As for older dirt mares, It might not have been the most sterling edition of the G1 Personal Ensign ever staged. Either that or goo-loving Forever Unbridled made the competition look ineffectually outclassed. She was brilliant, taking the lead entering the stretch while Joel Rosario sat motionless.
Out West, Klimt made his pre-race notices seem hyperbolic when measured against his Forerunner performance. In fairness, his tardy beginning did him no favors, nor did the wide rally to follow. And it's very possible that 2-for-2 Gromley is the better prospect five weeks from now, and in 2017. John Sheriffs' charge is certainly interesting in that context.
Can't say the same about the Chandelier fillies, however. It was a two-speed number all the way around as chaser Noted and Quoted got the best of rail-running pacesetter With Honors in deep stretch.
The result was a lot like the Awesome Again and Zenyatta as frontrunners dominated the order of finish. Yes, they were the best horses on paper, but the Chandelier fillies were 7-1 and 9-1, respectively, needing a final sixteenth in a breathless 07.15 to get their jobs done.
Aside from the benefit of a race over the BC track, nothing in the Grade 1 mile and a sixteenth should scare away any would-be challengers.
As for G1 turf fillies and mares in California, the same can be said of uber sharp, superbly prepared Avenge. She was life and death to get the final sixteenth of the 1-1/4 mile Rodeo Drive.
At Churchill Downs, it's hard to imagine even the much maligned and racing's favorite PC punching bag, Maria Borell, doing less to prepare champion Runhappy to run a flat mile in his first start since last year's BC Sprint.
Admittedly, the Churchill surface was wet fast and demanding, and Runhappy was pressed much of the way from the inside by Mr. Z. Approaching the 3/8s, Edgar Prado let out a notch of rein and Runhappy responded but never shook clear.
Ridden hard in deep stretch, he could not hold third after the well prepped Tom's Ready, loaded on the backside throughout beneath B.J. Hernandez, took command from the 4-path soon after entering the straight.
Iron Fist finished very well late to secure the place and galloped out with good energy. He can go forward off the effort. But as far as stretching Runhappy out, or even returning in the Dirt Mile, the inclination off Saturday's performance is to not bother.
Of course, there could have been some mental rust at play and the trip would indicate that Runhappy did enough to get fit to make a defense of his Sprint title. Whether he's the same horse, however, is anyone's guess at this point.
Sunday morning at Chantilly made for great racing on TV, four races including the lynchpin Prix de L'arc de Triomphe. The early card featured two noteworthy performances.
National Defense, Criquette Head's "best two-year-old," was impressive. He was a relaxed leader that in the end showed a sharp turn of foot and more than enough stamina for the trip.
Arc winner Found is a special mare. Last year's defending BC champion burst through a narrow seam and powered home, continuing her history of success over male rivals.
While no Arc winner ever repeated in the Breeders' Cup, she could be over the top and still handle American fillies, unless some of her European peers have something to say about that.
Back home, the Florida Sires Stakes series continues to grow in both stature and box office. Saturday's Final Sire Stakes card was up 53% year over year. The day's all-sources handle was $9.4 million.
Commerce for the entire 3-day series, launched on August 6, represented a 41% increase for the combined trio.
Additionally, total handle for the Summer Meet that began April 4 and ended Saturday was up 14% year over year. Gulfstream Summer booked nearly $557 million in bets.
Beyond that, Saturday's nominal feature had national implications. Three Rules remained undefeated becoming the fourth male to sweep the Sires Stakes series since the 1984 inaugural. He won the three races by a combined 22-1/2 lengths, taking his two turn In Reality debut by 10 dominating lengths.
Thirty two years ago, Smile was the first juvenile colt to sweep the series and two years later won the BC Sprint. There's a chance that Three Rules won't have to take that long. Think five weeks hence.
Coming Tuesday: Racing Rules Need Amending; Officials Need to Do Their Job
Sires Stakes Notable Finishes from Saturday October 1
RACE 10 MY DEAR GIRL STAKES 2YO Fillies 1-1/16 Miles
5-Dude Fantasy (6-1): Earned competitive PER in MSW debut, has two-turn pedigree, and returned in nine days for first of three works for this; Tyler on re-ride for top juvenile connects. (won, 9.80)
6-Surprise Wedding (10-1): Trainer Fawkes took complete base on balls vs. maiden claimers in very educational winning debut; ears pricking and geared down at finish. Way up in class and distance but showed high promise. Check replay for yourself. (2nd, $2 ex.133.60)
11-Fleet Dude (12-1): Snatched victory from defeat's jaws in two-turn maiden breaker on turf in Indiana last out. Super trainer Cox has [4] 2-1-0 slate shipping here and is field's lone starter with two two-turn runs. Attracts Cornelio; very interesting. (3rd, $1 Tri 617.60)
RACE 11 PANAMA CITY STAKES F&M 1 Mile TURF
4-Jodesanimaux (15-1): And yet another course lover—3-for-4 here, 1-for-7 anywhere else--and last win was at this trip. Ships in off two WO preps for Casse and Panici has been riding this course well recently. Appears well intended and at a square price, too. (won, 17.80)
11-Dad's Princess (12-1): Uncoupled Biancone runner showed marked improvement in last after removal of blinkers. A course winner, mini-turnback suits her well; owns two sharp breezes and Cornelio sticks. Things to like. (2nd, $2 ex. 207.60)
RACE 12 IN REALITY STAKES 2YO 1-1/16 Miles
2-Three Rules (3-5): Four-for-four lifetime with Cornelio, overcoming hoof issues, a fever, and a popped abscess winning his last. Has more than enough speed and pedigree for this. Blowout fastest of 57 peers last week. Nicely drawn and Pinchin barn profitable first-time long and in non-graded stakes. (won, 2.60)
3-Thegreatcollection (12-1): After beating maiden claimers here, went to Evangeline and won a wet-track sprint stakes, remaining undefeated. Barn 33% profitable with potential repeaters but not known for ability with stretch-outs. (2nd, $2 ex. 20.40)
RACE 13 MAIDEN SPECIAL WEIGHT 2YO F 7-1/2 Furlongs TURF
3-Bella Vincenza (3-1): Showed improvement in last two starts after adding first-Lasix then blinkers subsequently. Strong half mile breeze for this since recent tough trip, his style suits the dynamics and is drawn favorably for Gold and Panici. (won, 5.60)
5-Aquemini (9-2): Suffered through wide journey when second in 5F debut on grass vs 10 rivals. Nicks 24% profitable with second-timers and a worthy 32% with second-timers on turf. Gaffalione sticks, good energy distribution in debut and bottom side goes long. Value at early line odds. (2nd, $2 ex. 17.40)
6-Pachamanca (20-1): Finished well when third to Aquemini in 5F turf debut then lost all chance on first turn in subsequent two-turner at this trip vs. males, a race producing a next out winner from as many starters. Back with fillies with switch to apprentice and first-Lasix. Exotic prospects. (3rd, 18-1. $1 Tri 82.00)

Cede was founded in 2010 by San Francisco Bay Area songwriter and worship music leader, Scott Metcalf, along with Neil MacPherson, Aaron Nuss, Alex Cordrey, and Stewart Burr. They were soon joined by Grammy nominee Tammi Brown, singer William Russ Jr., guitarist Ryan Avellone, and worship music leader Reggie Coates.
Over the course of their careers, the members of Cede have worked with many well-known artists in the CCM industry such as Sonicflood, Chris Tomlin, David Crowder, and Caedmon's Call, to name just a few.
Their desire was to put together a band in their native California that would be of the same calibre as those they had worked with in Nashville and other parts of the U.S. That dream was realized in Cede.
This band of top performers includes music director and keyboardist Neil MacPherson (Bobby McFerrin, John Popper, Marc Ford); vocalist Tammi Brown (Coldplay and Stanley Jordan); vocalist Will Russ (Bill Hopkins Orchestra); drummer Stuart Burr (Chubby Checker, John Lucas); vocalist Aaron Nuss; master acoustic guitarist Reggie Coates; and Nashville session bassist, Alex Cordrey (Luce).
Together, they bring a high-energy mix of original and familiar worship and praise songs, sprinkled with a few mainstream hits. It's a show and a sound you won't forget.

Yes Tampa Bay Express (TBX): Key to future transportation mobility
Ramond Chiaramonte
Tuesday, March 01, 2016
Ray Chiaramonte: TBX will be an effective "right-now" congestion mitigation strategy for converting the failing segments of I-275, I-75 and I-4 from facilities that break down whenever volume approaches capacity, to an efficiently operated system where speed and reliability of travel time are better maintained.

Dear Dr Wordsmith, I had a quite different inquiry in mind, but it suddenly occurred to me that the phrase "Without further ado" (which has just been used) is a very odd one. At least, the word "ado" is a very odd one. For one thing, it is only ever used in that one phrase, and I do not think you can use it any other way. For another thing, it seems to belong to that extensive but largely unremarked family of words beginning with a-, such as "ajar" and "agape", "aflame", and "akimbo", which all seem vaguely old-fashioned.
Dr Wordsmith writes: Have we come to your question yet?
Dear Dr Wordsmith, Not yet. Of course, some of these words have become staple ingredients of the language, such as "away", "aside" and "apart", so much so that we probably don't think of them as belonging to the same family as more recondite words such as "athwart" and "agley".
Dr Wordsmith writes: "Agley"?
Dear Dr Wordsmith: Yes. As in Robert Burns. "The best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley"
Dr Wordsmith writes: Look, we are gathered here today to discuss the English language, not some Scottish bastard relation. I am paid as an English expert - paid very little, I might add - and for the money I get you can expect no advice on foreign matters as well as English-related ones! Have we come to your question yet?
Dear Dr Wordsmith, Not yet. I was just wondering why so many words like this do have a- tacked on the front. Sometimes the join is almost visible, as in words like "a-quiver" or "a-tremble". It does occur to me that perhaps words have the same impulse as mini-cab firms called AAA Cabs or builders called A1 Construction - namely, to come top of a list! In fact, I wonder if there is a word meaning, "adopting a name full of As and 1s which gives you a good chance of coming near the top of every list"?
Dr Wordsmith writes: Is that your question?
Dear Dr Wordsmith, Not yet. Another couple of examples are "askance" and "adrift". One can see where "adrift" comes from, but "askance" is a real puzzler.
Dr Wordsmith writes: No doubt it is. I remember you saying at the beginning of this consultation that you would talk about "without further ado" before getting to your real enquiry. Might this be a good time to come to it?
Dear Dr Wordsmith, Why ever not? This week, I was reading about all the publicity surrounding the new HarperCollins dictionary, and the survey they had done on famous people's usage of the language - spelling, apostrophe misuse and so on - and it occurred to me that people rarely distinguish between spoken usage and written usage. I mean, an apostrophe can't be heard, whether it's used wrongly or rightly, and by the same token, a mispronunciation can't be reflected in written form.
So there IS a dislocation between written and spoken English. For instance, I have noticed that there are many forms of study ending in -ology, such as "geology" and "paleontology", but only one I can think of ending in -alogy, which is "genealogy". But I have noticed that people are tending to pronounce it as "geneology"! Is it not curious that people who once used to pronounce a thing correctly now say it wrong!?
Dr Wordsmith writes: Is that your question at last?
Dear Dr Wordsmith, Not quite. There is one linguistic affectation which I find upsetting, and which is committed by HarperCollins themselves, and that is the odious habit of putting a capital letter in the middle of a name! Is there a word meaning to put an unwanted capital in the middle of a word?
Dr Wordsmith writes: I see from my watch that the Three Jolly Typesetters is opening its doors, and within five minutes I shall be leaning against its bar. If an intelligent question should occur to you, you can find me there. Goodbye, and good riddance.
Dr Wordsmith will be back soon. Keep those queries rolling in!

Get more tips from Jacqueline Whitemore at EtiquetteExpert.com.
Even though you haven't used your cell phone as a phone in two years, you're probably still being annoying with it. In honor of July being National Cell Phone Courtesy Month, we got tips from National Cell Phone Courtesy Month founder and etiquette expert Jacqueline Whitmore.
Be polite by following her cell phone rules:
1. Be all thereWhen you're in a meeting, performance, courtroom or other busy area, let calls go to voicemail to avoid a disruption. In some instances, turning your phone off may be the best solution.
2. Keep it privateBe aware of your surroundings and avoid discussing private or confidential information in public. You never know who may be in hearing range.
3. Keep your coolDon't display anger during a public call. Conversations that are likely to be emotional should be held where they will not embarrass or intrude on others.
4. Learn to vibeAlways use your wireless phone's silent or vibration settings in public places such as business meetings, religious services, schools, restaurants, theaters or sporting events so that you do not disrupt your surroundings.
5. Avoid "cell yell"Remember to use your regular conversational tone when speaking on your wireless phone. People tend to speak more loudly than normal and often don't recognize how distracting they can be to others.
6. Follow the rulesSome places, such as hospitals or airplanes, restrict or prohibit the use of mobile phones, so adhere to posted signs and instructions. Some jurisdictions may also restrict mobile phone use in public places.
7. Excuse yourselfIf you are expecting a call that can't be postponed, alert your companions ahead of time and excuse yourself when the call comes in; the people you are with should take precedence over calls you want to make or receive.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Quick hits from the combine, Day 2 edition:
1. Patriots will take a pass on meeting with non-team affiliated media. Word from the team is that head coach Bill Belichick and director of player personnel Nick Caserio will not be holding any formal media availability here at the combine. It is not required by the NFL and the Patriots are one of five teams to decline. Non-team affiliated media outlets here at the combine covering the Patriots include the Boston Globe, Boston Herald, Comcast SportsNet, WEEI.com, Springfield Republican and ESPNBoston.com. Our guess as to Belichick's thinking at this time: How does this help the team? He'd probably be peppered with questions about cornerback Alfonzo Dennard and tight end Rob Gronkowski, which is something he'd prefer to avoid.
2. Agents meeting today. As is the norm, most of the NFL Players Association's certified agents are in town for an annual meeting. This is often a time when representatives meet with the team regarding their NFL clients, which we view as more standard operating procedure than anything else. We headed over to the agents' meeting and touched base with a few of those who have notable free agents from the Patriots, and the sense we received was that nothing was imminent. "It's early right now," said one agent with a Patriots player scheduled to hit the open market.
3. Tight ends as the 'queen on the chessboard.' Falcons head coach Mike Smith held a news conference this morning, and made a notable comparison between football and chess in calling the tight end position the "queen" piece for any team. Smith's point was that you can move the queen all over the board. The Patriots might be the No. 1 team in the NFL in terms of that being the case, with Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez at the position.

The Ron Paul Show Goes On
Ron Paul took to the podium at the Courtyard Marriott hotel Tuesday night to celebrate results in Iowa that didn't quite live up to expectations. While he led in the polls just days ago, he finished third, with 21 percent of the vote. If the Paul devotees packing the room were feeling disappointed, they did a good job of hiding it. They offered exuberant cheers of appreciation that Paul returned with gracious praise for their countless hours of campaign work. Paul's supporters are still optimistic he can capitalize on the momentum that catapulted him from something of a fringe candidate in 2008 to a contender in Iowa in 2012.
"I really thought he'd get second, if not first," 59-year-old Eric Riedinger, of Des Moines, told me. "I was a little bit shocked by Romney's turnout in my district," Mike Fortune, a 39-year-old caucus-goer from West Des Moines, said. But, Fortune added hopefully, Paul's third place finish means that "he's now officially in the top tier."
During his speech Tuesday night, Paul told his supporters that he was "one of two [candidates] who can run a national campaign and raise some money," presumably a shot at the surging Rick Santorum, who will now be scrambling to build out his campaign operation elsewhere. "There were essentially three winners, and we will go on," Paul continued. "We have a tremendous opportunity to continue this momentum. It won't be long that there's going to be an election up in New Hampshire."
But Paul's time to get out the vote may be running out. Mitt Romney has consistently held more than a 20-point advantage in the polls over Paul in New Hampshire, whose primary is next Tuesday. And in South Carolina, which votes on January 21, Romney and Newt Gingrich both hold double-digit leads over Paul.
Iowa's first-in-the-nation caucus was the candidate's best opportunity to create real momentum and cement his status as a contender for the GOP nomination. The state's same-day voter registration was perfectly tailored to the non-traditional voters to whom Paul owes much of his success. They didn't turn out in large enough numbers, though, to overcome Iowans' tendency to flock to a social conservative. Nor could they ultimately compete with a wider focus on Mitt Romney as perhaps the only candidate with a real shot to beat Obama. Yet the energy behind Paul remains substantial, and he'll continue to have an effect on the race at least in the near term. Earlier in the night, when returns showed Paul in a three-way tie for first, one supporter in the crowd summed up the night succinctly, shouting, "We may not win, but we've got the passion!"
