Tropiques was launched in 2006 as a limited floral-fruity edition. It opens with notes of cranberry and raspberry, seduces with exotic mango blossom, jasmine and black currant, while the base notes add powdery vanilla trace, tonka, and sandalwood.

I like most of the scent but just can't take the sour note. I guess it is the cranberry.
Fantastic fruity tropical, great for a beachy vibe without the suntan lotion/coconut thing. The vanilla, tonka and sandalwood keep it from being overbearingly juicy (like Jimmy Choo exotic). It stays pleasantly tropical fruit with a nice warm base to keep the fragrance grounded.
I love this fragrance!
It definetely is a tropical fragrance, but not overly sweet. The tonka bean really gives the fragrance a balsamic, deep touch, which is beautiful! The mango blossom gives that tropical feel and the vanilla makes it even more beautiful!
In the beginning I smell mostly the berries. Later the fragrance becomes mmore soft and creamy.
Tropiques is a wonderful fragrance. It's tropical, feminine but also very sexy and sensual!
If anyone has it andwants to swap it, please pm me because im searching for this!
Want to love this...something sour, though.
This is a gorgeous fresh raspberry with some depth. I normally can't tolerate prominent raspberry notes in perfumes, especially combined with vanilla...too girly-sweet and often come off as too teen-y and naive. Now, I'm a girly-girl, but I tend to draw the line with raspberry (Daisy Eau So Fresh, Tresor Midnight Rose, etc). But Tropiques lacks that irritating vibe, and in comparison feels more refined with some depth and warmth, yet it is fresh and lightweight enough for even the hottest days. It's a sparkling scent that just makes you feel good. It doesn't smell cheap like strawberry shampoo or fruity body spray or a cocktail drink like many scents in this category often do. Women in their 20's and 30's longing for a cheerful red-fruit based summer scent (that doesn't smell juvenile) would appreciate this gem. It's a pleasure to reach for this, and when I got it as a gift 5 years ago, I drained out a bottle in less than 3 months, a record for me. I was so disappointed that I couldn't find it in stores to re-stock. Pity it's a limited edition, living in a hot climate, I would've gladly made this my signature if it were a permanent item.
Not one of the fragrances I like to wear, but I do like to open the bottle and sniff the perfume once in a while :) To me it actually does smell pretty tropical, but in the sense that it compliments tropical smells, not that it actually smells of typical tropical fruits. It's a very summery, sweet, luxurious smell, but I don't wear it well as all perfumes turn more sweet on my skin and it makes this a little sickening. I actually think this could fit a wide age range.
This is one of my go-to summer fragrances.
O'boy! Makes me think back to the 80's but this one has a modern twist. A bit heavy, very fresh, a bit loud and yet soft and sexy. Sweet in a good way, not sugar sweet. Less is more, spray carefully or this one will turn to a room-killer, but 1 or 2 spritzes and you smell fantaboulus for many, many hours.
O'boy! Denna får mig att tänka på 80-talet men denna doften har även en modern fläkt. Lite tung, mycket fräsch, lite högljudd och ändå mjuk och sexig doft. Lite är lagom, spreja försiktigt annars blir detta en rumsdödare. 1 eller 2 sprejningar och du doftar fantastiskt i många, många timmar.
Wow! You would think with all those fruit notes in there, and just by the name alone, that Tropiques would be an over the top, in your face, tutty fruity mess.
But this is not the case at all! The base notes here, do a beautiful job of softening and balancing things out.
Tropiques is one smooth, creamy, fruity/floral.
And not typically what you would discribe as tropical
This one is classic, elegant, understated and clearly created for a woman rather than the younger crowd.
Surprisingly, I'm loving it! I'm not generally a fan of Lancome perfumes with the exception of Mille et Une Roses which I adore, I find most Lancome offerings fairly general and uninteresting.
Tropiques is difefrent. It's mainly a berry-vanilla scent with woody undertone. Generally most scents with dominate berry and vanilla accords are way too sweet to me but Tropiques is not your usual sugar-infused teenager scent. It has dryness that keeps it from coming too sweet and the woody base balances the sweetness nicely too. It's not that tropical scent, IMO, at least not what I would expect from a perfume called "Tropiques", more just like juicy sweetness balanced with vanilla and soft woods.
smell like Escada Magnetism women,
LOVE Tropique! my favorite perfume, but sooo hard to find. Sadly, Christina Agularia's perfume (dont' know the name) smells similar and is cheaper, but not the same!!!!
blah! Sweet and fruity. Same fruity floral again and not much more dont get me wrong its not bad its ok but not different enough to make me buy it even if it is on good offer here.
I love Tropiques, it's very Soft and Fruity, just right for Summer, I agree it's not exactly Tropical, but it works in the heat, can't go wrong with it..
A fruity and syrupy start but is definitely different from other fruity openings and I've worn quite a few. Tropiques has an exotic sweetness reminiscent of pina colada and cranberry juice. It's sweet but sparkling and fresh like a fizzy cocktail on the beach. I get most compliments when I wear Tropiques than any other fruity floral scent.
I love the base notes the most when Tropiques blends magically with my skin and is now dry and sweet, like when you have a shower in summer and then the sun dries the remainder of the water that was left on your bare skin. Unfortunately the scent disappears completely after about eight hours, as Tropiques is an Eau de Toilette though compared to other eau de toilettes Tropiques is one of the longer-lasting ones.
A real gem, that may not be everyone's taste, Tropique is a unique tropical themed-fragrance that is playful, but sophisticated, exotic and natural, sweet but balanced. It isn't just a summer fragrance, it's too heavy and not citrusy enough for that. It's the essense of the tropics, capturing the warm and humid air and the smell of exotic fruits, woods and spices and all along staying bright and playfully light! Defies age, classification, free and enticing Tropiques has plenty of reasons to love it.
I only use this one occassionally as I am more partial to oriental floral scents, but for a fruity one...it is very nice.
Truly a amaizing scent. The trydown is very different, than the topnotes. One of my favourites. Not a suprise, since it has notes, that I usually love in perfume. At first its very fruity, but develops quickly to a very warm vanillla scent.
I don´t find this masculine AT ALL.
I just wish this would last longer on my skin.
ive just started to use it for summer, at first its strong, but it fades away surprisingly soon, fortunately in the heat the smells are stronger.
Anyway the smell is hot, andy very interesting.
Very sweet, but a nice kind of sweetness. Like a tropical fruit juice.
One of my favourite summer fragrances. It is like it's name: TROPIQUES!
i dont think its masculine, but not average. its one of my favourites, and i always get compliments on it.its fl.-fruity but its a bit woody too. very sensual and unique
its nice, ive already finished 2 bottles and i cant get bored of it. its sweet but a bit masculine in a way.. it has some similarities with ferrari black, which is a mens fragrance, but tropiques is more femenine of course:) spicy and sweet but not the way they usually are...it can be wore without age limit

Area vets helping house homeless vets
It looks like a garage sale, but these household items, all in great condition, are being given away, to veterans.
"It's a success because of the people who are helping out with it."
Geri Young is the vice president of Illini Veterans. The group plans to donate to 80 veterans in Central Illinois.
"Our overall goal is to benefit veterans in the community. We are all about showing the successful transition from military life to academic culture and what better way to do that then to show that you can give back?"
These items are going to homeless vets, because, according to the Center for American Progress, one in seven people who are homeless, served in the military.
"In terms of homeless veterans, I don't think those two words should ever be used together. They are people that have served their country honorably and they shouldn't be in that situation."
Young served in the Air Force and is now studying psychology at UI. She says it's giving back to veterans alongside veterans that makes her sure it's work she'll continue after she graduates.
"I love what I do. I know that whenever I am done with school and grow up, I want to work with veterans in any capacity I can. I love the group. Illini Veterans is a good support group, and I'm very happy to be a part of it. Very honored to be in that club."
The Illini Veterans is still collecting donations and is partnered with the Veterans Association.

Seriously, if Apple is a such a bully (and it's not like that's news), stop playing with them. There are alternatives. I can't feel sympathy for any developer complaining about Apple while they're ignoring Android users.
I think it's great that you're happy with your netbook-in-a-satchel solution. That does not mean, however, that smartphones are merely toys. Maybe they are to you and some others, but plenty of people get real use from them. My Android phone was roughly $130 (with a 2 year service agreement, the way most cell phones are sold in the US), and I get plenty of non-toy use from it:
E-mail (so if I get something important, I see it right away).
Contact list seamlessly synchronized with my Gmail account.
Calendar/scheduler/task list that also stays synchronized with my Gmail account.
Epocrates drug reference for quickly researching medications (I'm a nurse).
Weather Channel app for checking weather updates.
Barcode scanner with a price checker--nice for when I see something in a store and want to know if it's worth buying there if I should buy elsewhere.
Google maps (with GPS)--ironically, this was more useful during a time I spent car-less, since it includes public transportation routes with bus times.
Remote app that lets me use my phone as a remote control for my laptop when it's connected to my TV as a media center.
Grocery list app (which can be synchronized between computer and phone)--more convenient and less wasteful than written shopping lists.
Of course, I'm pretty happy with the toy uses too. One of my least favorite activities--waiting--has been converted into one of my more favorite activities--reading shit on the net. Much of the time I'm using my phone, a netbook would be at least inconvenient, and more often completely impractical. And for the times I need an actual mobile computer, I'd much rather have my full-sized laptop than a netbook.
I agree. While I'm sure there is a lot of room for improvement in the education system, the people I saw cheating when I was in school just plain didn't want to have to put effort into anything.
They're the same people who grow up and do the absolute minimal amount of work they can get away with at their jobs.
Additionally, with so much information at one's fingertips nowadays, there's no reason why people shouldn't be researching drugs they put into themselves.
How about an elderly patient with dementia or alzheimer's, living in a nursing home? Or a patient who gets rushed to the ER with a stroke or heart-attack, gets stabilized (with meds administered by IV), and then gets transferred to an ICU or med/surg unit with a list of newly prescribed meds?
You can't just assume everyone is in a position to say "Wait, let me research those meds you're prescribing before I take them."
Will Microsoft also be relocating those 2 million people to India so they can actually find jobs with their new skills?
For $20-30, possibly (much better entertainment-hours per dollar ratio than movies). But for $50? Not worth buying, for me.
Don't be stupid, he was obviously talking about Die Hard.
I don't recall seeing research specifically on that subject. The closest thing I can think of is hearing (indirectly--I didn't see the research myself) that, in terms of crime and punishment, the chance of getting caught seems to have more of an effect on deterring crime than the severity of the potential punishment. Of course, I'm sure there's some threshold of severity that needs to be reached for someone to care about being caught; the point was being made in the context of arguing against the efficacy of capital punishment.
From a pure behavior modification standpoint, I would guess that the threat of punishment for certain behaviors (by seeing others receive the punishment) would have an effect similar to receiving the punishment oneself--escape and avoidance behaviors.
Like the abusers whose children you worked with, you seem to not understand the difference between a spanking and a beating.
No, you completely missed the point. I'm not saying abuse and non-damaging corporal punishment are the same, I'm saying that the threat of pain for being bad (and, yes, most physical abuse is a (over)response to the kid being "bad"--it's not just random) generally does not result in kids gaining any kind of internal desire to be good. It results, if anything, in escape and avoidance behaviors, and often psychological problems. Obviously, there is a difference in the likelihood and degree of problems that might arise from spanking, vs. slapping, vs. punching, vs. covering someone's arm in cigarette burns.
Your ignorance is part of what's wrong with today's society.
You know, it's subtle and certainly not something you would end up in a mental hospital for, but if you were spanked then I'm not surprised that you are inclined to handle our disagreement by personally insulting me. Mild corporal punishment--mild social problems.
Anyway, I've had my share of experience with altering the behavior of kids that terrorized foster parents (not to mention my coworkers), so I suspect I'm not as ignorant as you would like to think.
Would you rather a nation of people that are liable to kick your ass when you do something wrong, or a nation that just sits on their hands and watches as someone else does something wrong?
I'd rather a nation of people who understand the difference between a misbehaving child and a situation that actually requires violence to resolve.
I know I'd certainly not turned out as well without it when I was raised. THAT was about the only thing that would get my attention. I wasn't a bad kid...but, mischievous. I didn't get that many spankings, but, the ones I got I deserved, and it certainly modified my behavior in a permanent fashion.
Do you really know you wouldn't have turned out well, though? I mean, maybe you're right, but I've noticed that most people are generally inclined to justify however they were brought up, whether it was with or without spanking. I wasn't spanked (except by one boyfriend my mom had when I was young, who spanked my brother and I maybe 2 or 3 times--I don't remember him fondly, not surprisingly) and I feel like I turned out well. I also feel like I would probably be more resentful and less compassionate toward other people if I was spanked.
But I can't say for sure; it's an educated guess. And I don't think you know for sure that your parents couldn't have come up with a set of privileges that you would have been motivated to earn and keep with "good" behavior.
One thing I do know is that I've seen even kids who were badly abused or molested justify what their parents did, and they will often say "I deserved it". So it doesn't surprise me to see someone justify being spanked a few times, even though the research suggests it's not the healthiest approach.
I guess if I were a kid today....rather than strike my behavior up to just 'being a boy'....they'd just drug me...
The quantity of medication we use, especially with kids, is highly unfortunate. IMO our biggest problem with our kids is that the knowledge of how to do things right really hasn't been passed on to the general public well enough for parents to make use of it. (And, in some cases, parents are a bit too lazy--doing things right requires planning ahead and being proactive.)
I see your studies, research and science, and raise you 10,000 years of what worked.
You mean the 10,000 years in which humans have generally treated each other like crap (war, abuse, slavery, sexism and racism, predominance of authoritatianism in governments and religions)?
I'm not saying you can't control people through punishment, I'm saying that the control comes through FEAR, and that generally results in 1) a lot of negative psychological effects, and 2) a lack of internalized motivation to do what one is being coerced into doing.
Sorry, spanking works. I don't give a shit what some band of idiots greedy for research grants say.
I was spanked, my parents were spanked, their parents were spanked. It works, and has worked, since forever.
You're right, I concede; anecdotal evidence is far more valid than piles of empirical research. I mistakenly thought I was on a website for geeks who place some value on the scientific method.
Oops, I forgot something I meant to add to my last post.
I agree that we have a serious parenting problem in our society. In a nutshell, though, I don't think our problem isn't that we're not spanking--it's that most parents haven't learned and/or implemented the healthier replacement for spanking.
Research on behavior modification shows that punishment (like, say, spanking) results in escape and avoidance behaviors and usually results in people reverting to the unwanted behavior once the source/threat of punishment is taken away. Positive reinforcement for wanted behaviors (and removing the reinforcement in response to unwanted behaviors) is more effective, longer lasting, and generally results in a more psychologically healthy individual.
And, just for some anecdotal evidence, I worked for 3 years in a group home for abused and emotionally disturbed children. The ones who were physically beaten seemed to have learned from their parents not how to behave properly, but that anger and violence are the way to respond to someone who does something you don't like.
The means-and-ends moralists, or non-doers, always end up on their ends without any means. -- Saul Alinsky

Bill Miller's Housing Spree Pays Off
Bill Miller, who beat the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index at Legg Mason's Value Trust for 15 years through 2005 before falling into a deep slump, is seeking redemption as a housing bull. Miller's Legg Mason Capital Management Opportunity Trust has bet about a third of its holdings on a property rebound through homebuilders, mortgage real estate investment trusts, and loan insurers. The move has propelled the $945 million fund to a return of 30 percent this year through Oct. 15, surpassing 99 percent of its peers, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. "Housing fundamentals are likely to be positive for years," says Miller, 62. "The stocks have run, but in our judgment are not even close to reflecting that long cycle."
Miller's winners this year include homebuilder PulteGroup, which had more than doubled as of Oct. 16 after dropping 16 percent in 2011; Ellington Financial, a mortgage bond investor that's up 30 percent following a 22 percent decline; and companies tied to a housing rebound, such as Bank of America, the nation's No. 4 mortgage lender in the second quarter, which gained 70 percent, to $9.44, after plunging 58 percent last year.
The Opportunity fund, which Miller has run since 1999, lost 35 percent in 2011. Miller's willingness "to go out on a limb and buy things that look ugly" explains the performance swings, says Bridget Hughes, an analyst with research firm Morningstar. "It can be painful sometimes, but when it works, he knocks the ball out of the park."
While conceding he was too early in expecting a turn in housing, Miller says a bounceback was "a mathematical inevitability" because the housing slump drove starts and purchases so low that pent-up demand was bound to kick in. Housing starts surged 15 percent in September to the highest level in four years.
The Opportunity fund had 13.4 percent of its assets in homebuilders as of June 30, filings show. Like Pulte, fund holding KB Home has more than doubled this year, and Lennar is up 90 percent. Miller also owns stocks with an indirect link to housing, such as discount broker E*Trade Financial, which expanded into home lending and got stuck with a troubled mortgage portfolio. Miller says that an improving housing market and the passage of time will diminish the drag from the loans.
Not all of Miller's housing bets have worked out. Mortgage insurers Genworth Financial and MGIC Investment are down 13 percent and 53 percent this year, respectively, after losses tied to home loans. Yet investors are missing the positives, Miller says; both firms have been making money on policies written since 2008, even as they continue to "pay through the nose" on those issued from 2003 through 2006.
Robert Shiller, the Yale University professor who predicted the bursting of the dot-com and subprime-mortgage bubbles, doesn't share Miller's optimism. Asked about the prospects for a housing revival in an Oct. 5 interview, Shiller said, "Are we at an upward turning point? I am calling that a big question. Most likely nothing much is going to happen." Miller's confidence is unshaken. "The surprise," he says, "is that the economy will get better because housing will get better."

Jazz, it's clear, was the world's first pop. The joyous form had the good fortune of being born right around the time that the gramophone was invented and global shipping was speeding up. In the first decade of the twentieth century, wax cylinders and shellac discs of Dixieland stomp made their way to the further corners of the planet faster than any other kind of music had done before. That's proved conclusively by the image of this jazz band, shot in the Calcutta zoo in 1926: it's led by a Canadian and his sidemen are from the Philippines, Austria, Mozambique, the US and Russia.

they fifa 14 coins are unlikely to rival
They may not be quite as fiercely principled as they once were, and they fifa 14 coins are unlikely to rival their Brazilian namesakes in competing for the big prizes any time soon. Nonetheless, Corinthians remain the ultimate example of values to which many in football still hold dear. The tide nonetheless began to turn from 1927. That's when an attacking midfielder who, as a 13 year old four years earlier, had been rejected by Milan for being too skinny, made his professional debut for Inter. His name was Giuseppe Meazza. In his first Derby della Madonnina, Il Balilla scored one and set up the other as Inter beat Milan for the first time in six attempts.
By the time the teams met at the Arena Civica in November 1932, 80 years ago to this Tuesday, Meazza was unquestionably established as Milan's nemesis. He had, after all, registered some magical assists and breathtaking goals as Inter went six matches without losing to their bitter enemies. Milan were determined to avoid that figure rising to seven. Their goalkeeper was determined that he wouldn't concede a goal to Meazza, vowing pre match that the Italy international wouldn't score past him. As the clock ticked on to 75 minutes, Dario Compiani was en route to keeping his promise. And, by then, three of his team mates Mario Magnozzi, Pietro Arcari and Giovanni Moretti had got on the score sheet.
By then, however, Meaaza had employed his exquisite dribbles and defence parting passes to lay on a brace for Attilio Demaria and goals for Marcello Mihalic and Virgilio Levratto, which had Inter at a 4 3 lead. After playing the role of grand creator, Meazza killed off the game and Compiani's promise with 14 minutes remaining, waltzing past two Milan defenders and slotting the ball home to make it 5 3. And though Magnozzi managed to score again, it proved nothing more than a consolation for Milan. The outcome helped Inter establish what remains a club record 17 match undefeated run in the Derby della Madonnina, during which time Milan were incessantly unable to negate the www.fifa14store.co.uk output of Meazza.

ST. LOUIS -- Two players who were minor league teammates until late last month gave the lowly Kansas City Royals' another dose of interleague success.
Mike Aviles homered to snap an eighth-inning tie and Kyle Davies worked seven sharp innings in a 2-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday.
"We have a good group of veteran guys and young guys here," Aviles said. "It makes for a good environment. Right now our record doesn't show that, but things are turning around."
David DeJesus had his sixth RBI in two games for the Royals, 29-42 overall and in last place in the AL West but a robust 5-2 in interleague play while taking two of three from Florida and Arizona. The opener of the three-game interleague series between cross-state rivals drew a paid attendance of 43,793, the Cardinals' fourth straight sellout.
"We've played well up to this point and we just need to keep playing well," manager Trey Hillman said. "You also have to be a little fair with it. When a bat like (Albert) Pujols is out of the lineup, it takes a little pressure off."
Davies (3-0) allowed one run on five hits with four strikeouts and three walks, allowing only three runners to advance to scoring position. He's won three of four starts with a 1.46 ERA since being recalled from Triple-A Omaha on May 31.
"Location-wise, early in the game, wasn't very good at all," Davies said. "I got some guys to get themselves out, jam themselves a little bit and as the game got going it started to get a little bit better with location."
Joakim Soria worked the ninth for his 16th save to complete a five-hitter after Ron Mahay worked a perfect eighth.
Joel Pineiro also put together a strong seven-inning start for the Cardinals, allowing one run on seven hits while matching his season high for innings. He's 0-1 in his last six starts since beating the Reds with seven innings of one-hit ball on April 29.
"It'll even out," Pineiro said. "As long as I'm healthy and out there pitching, helping the team win, that's all that matters."
Cardinals closer Jason Isringhausen made his first appearance since coming off the disabled list Sunday, working around a fielding error and a hit batsman in a scoreless ninth. The Cardinals plan to ease Isringhausen, who has six blown saves in 17 chances, a 1-5 record and 7.58 ERA, back into the closer role.
Aviles, the Royals' minor league player of the year last year, is batting .333 with three homers and six RBI in 12 games since his contract was purchased from Omaha on May 29. He homered into the visitor's bullpen in left field on a 1-1 pitch from Ron Villone (1-2) with one out in the eighth.
"I was just trying to get the ball into the gap and I got some good wood on it," Aviles said. "It was a pitch that was up, and I hit it well."
Aviles, a seventh-round pick in 2003, was leading the Pacific Coast League in RBI, extra-base hits and total bases with a .338 average when he was called up.
Villone has allowed seven runs on six hits and five walks in his last two outings over 2 2/3 innings. He said he overthrew a changeup on the home run, and the pitch ended up "down the middle."
"You'd be kidding yourself and kidding your team if you went out there mentally thinking about what happened in your last outing," Villone said. "I don't think that happens around here."
Cesar Izturis doubled to lead off the third when second baseman Mark Grudzielanek apparently didn't know he was coming and failed to apply a tag for an easy out, and ended up scoring on a double-play ball to put the Cardinals ahead.
The Royals tied it in the fifth on DeJesus' two-out RBI single. DeJesus is 5-for-9 with six RBI in the last two games.
Pineiro struck out in both at-bats and is 1-for-22 with 17 strikeouts on the season, the lone hit a two-run double on May 5 at Colorado. ... Soria has allowed runs in only two of 28 outings and is holding opponents to a .163 average (17-for-104). ... Jose Guillen had two hits and is batting .500 (23-for-46) during an 11-game hitting streak that matches his career best. ... Skip Schumaker is batting .388 (19-for-49) in June after singling in four trips. He entered with an NL-best .400 average this month.

A spoonful of the purple monster
Trip Start
Jul 2003
Trip End
May 2005
Crossing the Friendship Bridge from China into Vietnam meant less of, "is that really edible?" and more of, "wow, look at all those hats." Re-entering a former colony also seems to mean damaged self-esteem and mass overcharging (are some countries just too proud for that?). On arrival we opted for the great, mountain bus ride to the tourist trap of Sa Pa. Despite the committed touting from the picturesque H'Mong tribespeople herded into town to entertain the tourists, we found some beautifully lush and green hillsides around this badly over-developing town. Having got used to a liquid diet of curry, rice and dhal over the last 7 months, thanks to the Parisienne influence we welcomingly tore our mouths to shreds on crunchy bread.
To summarise Vietnam's last 70 years of war, it would appear that most of the French ran away when World War II was under way, leaving their largely unsuccessful colonisation to the mercy of Japan. Ho Chi Minh and his Communist forces fought Japan (and greatly assisted the US in this effort) and when the war ended, he declared independence. France, however, then came to collect and could only get the southern half. The anti-communist, Catholic leader of the South, Diem, refused to hold full-country elections (Ho Chi Minh would obviously have won): lots of Communists headed for the North and two Vietnams were created. Diem, a brutal man, was assassinated by his own troops in 1963 and the Russians and Chinese said to the North, "be Communist, here's some guns." In 1965, the USA and others (answering a call for help from the South) said, "don't be Communist, here's some guns." By 1973 most people were dead (reputedly 58,000 US and 3,000,000 Vietnamese), and the West (represented by the USA) left. By 1975, Ho Chi Minh and his north Vietnamese Communists had defeated Saigon and the South, and hundreds of southerners fled (boat people). Those who stayed were 're-educated' in the ways of Hanoi and the North. In 1978, following repression against the Vietnamese-Chinese and a war against Cambodia, China invaded. In 1991, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Vietnam and the west spoke again. And for us, it would seem, tourists pour in, prices rocket and we have to budget (ouch).
So this is a country which defeated the Japanese, then the French, then the Americans; the Americans may have well been the Martians (or the notably absent British). To quote Ho Chi Minh, "we stood shoulder to shoulder with the Allies against the fascist threat," but that appears to be as far as the friendship went. He may well have united two very opposed parts of the same country, but wouldn't just leaving it as the two countries of North and South Vietnam have saved millions of lives? Was it really necessary for him to invade the South? Ho Chi Minh (literally, 'Bringer of Light') was a seriously committed man, and if it wasn't for his adoption of the political big C, America would probably have been his greatest ally. The American pilot 'guests' at the Huan Lo Prison (aka the 'Hanoi Hilton') certainly took full advantage of his wise and clever PR (previous 'guests' weren't quite so lucky at the hands of the bitter and somewhat irrational French). As we walked round looking at the 60's/70's glass-cased shirts of those US pilots who came down in Hanoi, all we could think of was their apolitical classmates who, at the same time, were living it up on the Afghan/Indian/Nepali hippy love trail we'd just travelled through'.
Hanoi old town is an impressive place: treelined Parisienne suburbs have simply been lifted, dropped in Asia and filled with mopeds and thousands of Vietnamese crouched on tiny plastic stools at every cafe dominated zebra-crossed junction. Little attempt was made to merge colonial architecture with local building expertise (unlike the unique Indo-Saracenic style seen in India), but there are some beautiful streets to get lost in. And some of the buildings are amazing, the 11th century Temple of Literature dedicated to Confucius, for example. Ho Chi Minh's Moscow-style mausoleum sits in the impressive European style estate of the former Governor-General of Indochina. Only open for a few hours each morning, sneaking in through the exit and joining the end of a group didn't seem to cause any problems amidst the confused security. And seeing Ho Chi Minh lying in hi-tech state is rather breath-taking with a Star Trek quality (all against his wishes, as apparently in his will he specified that his ashes be buried in urns on three hilltops in Vietnam, saying, "Not only is cremation good from the point of view of hygiene, but it also saves farmland"). And despite the millions of litres of Agent Orange dropped, most of Hanoi is wonderfully tree filled. It's one of those few cities we could have lived in. Crouching around a mud fish, prawn and tofu hotpot on a hot and sticky evening with a bottle of 'new rice' vodka, some smiling and laughing locals and trains rumbling past was extremely enjoyable.
Seven hours south east by train and rusty boat took us to Cat Ba island. Halong Bay is full of strange, vegetation topped, rocky outcrops which appear to float on the deep green waters of the bay. It was hard, humid work with the sun hiding behind a thick cloud duvet for most of the day, but when we rounded the last lump of rock we, and a boat load of over-excited Vietnamese weekenders, were rewarded with a sunburst on the little, mini-skyscraper town of Cat Ba. With most of the island recently designated a National Park, development is restricted to a very small area. Great floating restaurants reached by boat or long and scary floating walkways, with fish caught to order from pens suspended underneath. And terrifying oysters at least 8" across. Fisher families appear to live in floating villages where their boats dock. Very scenic. Returning to the mainland to Haiphong we witnessed pleasantries from needle filled toilets to junkies slumped on steps: the most visible hard drugs problem we've seen to date. Ninh Binh allowed us to float through caves and picturesque rice paddies: classic Vietnamese scenery but just short of a tourist carnival. And are those tiny little boats really made of concrete?
The strange thing about Vietnam is that there is an extremely well trodden 'tourist beaten path'. If you step off it for just one pace, all the tour groups disappear and you appear to be in the middle of nowhere. At Dong Ha, famous for it's siting on the edge of the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ), its former use as a huge US military base and the meeting of the famous Highways 1 and 9, we caused some confusion by getting off the train; at 4am on a dark, windy platform we were utterly alone. We watched a huge lorry full of dogs bark past, before finding a well spoken 're-educated' gentleman taking his morning exercise. Since the destruction of the base in 1972 no one really stays, so we arranged a peculiar room and local tour of the DMZ. After watching most classic 'American War' movies ("we've had so many wars we name them after the country we're fighting"), driving through defoliated mountains to the Laos border and standing on a windy hill amongst some broken tanks and helicopters where thousands died is all quite moving. And names such as 'Khe Sanh Combat Base' and 'Fire Bases on Highway 9' and 'Height 241 at the Southern 17 Parallel' can make the hairs stand on end. The Ho Chi Min trails, found all over Vietnam, appear to have been the key to the Vietnamese success: amazingly intricate networks of tunnels, roads and bridges. A bridge bombed in the morning had been rebuilt by women and children by lunchtime, and by the afternoon supplies were on the move again: even the eldest had never known anything else but war.
On the way to Saigon we partook in a mud spa (baths of pancake batter with a hint of rosemary and a touch of sulphur) before laying about on some good beaches. Then we reached Saigon. It's not a bad place if you like concentrated pockets of westerners and ex-pats buying you drinks, but by comparison Hanoi was wonderful. Saigon is, however, the entry point to the Mekong Delta and boats to Cambodia so we took the free drinks and didn't complain. The 'War Museum' in Saigon has the most incredible collection of photos from the American conflict, mostly in memory to the journalist/photographers who were killed. Most photograph sections finish with, 'His/her last photograph', or 'The last sighting of them as they set off for a VC checkpoint'. Or most moving, 'A chaplain reading her last rights'. You are constantly aware that 'only the victor writes the history' and the story of the South can never be told in Vietnam, but these photos are real.
Whilst travelling from the north to the south there really appears to be two different countries here, from the hill tribes and formerly socialist North to the business-like South. There is, however, such community bonding everywhere in Vietnam that has nothing to do with Communism. Everyone is very touchy-feely and appears to enjoy close contact: never before have we been patted and prodded so much. People don't get up early, and frequently we were told on arrival at 6am to "come back in the morning". Everywhere, so many people seem to be employed to do the same task, resulting in nothing actually happening (no-one taking our money in the post office). We did have the feeling that people here are really quite genuine, and given the opportunity really do want to speak with you without wanting much in return.
Now it's a boat up the Mekong to Cambodia.
Ho Chi Willy and Agent Emma
p.s. this month's strangest food:
You know how some edibles only smell good because you know what they are (eg cumin = sweat)? Well, Hanoi's famous dish of 'cha ca' comes with a very-purple sauce so specifically strongly smelling of something that we were checking our shoes as it approached our little plastic table (the floor wasn't very far away). Mam Tom it's called, and if anyone can tell us just what's in it we'd be grateful (unless it has anything to do with what it smelled like).

text: Medical Definition of Heart murmurHeart murmur: An unusual, 'whooshing' heart sound that may be innocent or may reflect disease or malformation. A heart murmur is created by blood flow through a heart valve, by blood flow through a narrowed chamber, or by an unusual connection between the chambers, as seen with congenital heart disease. Sometimes a heart murmur does not represent any disease or condition and is, therefore, referred to as a functional heart murmur. There are many forms of heart murmurs representing a variety of heart conditions. Each type of murmur is characterized by its location, timing, duration, as well as the intensity and quality of the sound it makes. A heart murmur is usually heard by a physician while he or she listens to the chest with a stethoscope. While the heart murmur itself is never treated, sometime the condition it represents may require treatment.

Most people have twisted an ankle at some point in their life. But if your ankle gets swollen and painful after you twist it, you have most likely sprained it. This means you have stretched and possibly torn the ligaments in your ankle.
Even though ankle sprains are common, they are not always minor injuries. Some people with repeated or severe sprains can develop long-term joint pain and weakness. Treating a sprained ankle can help prevent ongoing ankle problems.
Most types of ankle sprains happen when you make a rapid shifting movement with your foot planted, such as when you play soccer or get tackled in football. Often the ankle rolls outward and the foot turns inward. This causes the ligaments on the outside of the ankle to stretch and tear. Less often, the ankle rolls inward and the foot turns outward. This damages the ligaments on the inside of the ankle.
An ankle sprain can range from mild to severe, depending on how badly the ligament is damaged and how many ligaments are injured. With a mild sprain, the ankle may be tender, swollen, and stiff. But it usually feels stable, and you can walk with little pain. A more serious sprain might include bruising and tenderness around the ankle, and walking is painful. In a severe ankle sprain, the ankle is unstable and may feel "wobbly." You can't walk, because the ankle gives out and may be very painful.
With most sprains, you feel pain right away at the site of the tear. Often the ankle starts to swell immediately and may bruise. The ankle area is usually tender to touch, and it hurts to move it.
In more severe sprains, you may hear and/or feel something tear, along with a pop or snap. You will probably have extreme pain at first and will not be able to walk or even put weight on your foot. Usually, the more pain and swelling you have, the more severe your ankle sprain is and the longer it will take to heal.
Your doctor will ask you how the injury occurred and if you have hurt your ankle before. He or she will check your foot and ankle, your lower leg, and even your knee to see if you are hurt anywhere else.
In some cases, the doctor may order X-rays to be sure there is not a broken bone in the ankle or the foot.
In many cases you can first use the RICE approach to treat your ankle:
If you are not taking any prescription pain relievers, you may want to take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen or naproxen to reduce pain and swelling.
Proper treatment and rehabilitation (rehab) exercises are very important for ankle sprains. If an ankle sprain does not heal right, the joint may become unstable and may develop chronic pain. This can make your ankle weak and more likely to be reinjured. Before you return to sports and other activities that put stress on your ankle, it's a good idea to wait until you can hop on your ankle with no pain. Taping your ankle or wearing a brace during exercise can help protect your ankle. Wearing hiking boots or other high-top, lace-up shoes for support may also help. But use caution. Don't force your foot into a boot if you feel a lot of pain or discomfort.
If your ankle is still unstable after rehab, or if the ligament damage is severe, your doctor may recommend surgery to repair the torn ligaments.
Rehab exercises can begin soon after the injury. You can try to walk or put weight on your foot. You may need to use crutches until you can walk without pain. Depending on your pain, you can also begin range-of-motion exercises while you have ice on your ankle. These exercises are easy to do—you just trace the alphabet with your toe. This helps the ankle move in all directions.
Ask your doctor about other rehab. Stretching, strength training, and balance exercises may help the ankle heal totally and may prevent further injury.
Health Tools help you make wise health decisions or take action to improve your health.
Learning about ankle sprains:
Being diagnosed:
Getting treatment:
Ongoing concerns:
Ankle sprains occur when ligaments that connect the bones in the foot, ankle, and lower leg stretch or tear. There are different types of ankle sprains.
An inversion injury, the most common cause of ankle sprains, occurs when the ankle rolls outward and the foot turns inward. It results in stretching and tearing of the ligaments on the outside of the ankle.
In an eversion injury, the ankle rolls inward and the foot turns outward, damaging the ligaments at the inside of the ankle.
In a "high" ankle sprain, a less common type of injury, ligaments that join the two lower leg bones together above the ankle, called the syndesmosis, are injured. This usually happens if the foot is forced up, or if the leg is forcefully twisted while the foot is planted. This injury can occur either by itself or with an inversion or eversion sprain. If the ligaments of the syndesmosis are injured, the sprain is more severe and takes longer to heal.
Damage to the ligament varies from simply stretched or slightly torn to completely torn. Your doctor will grade your sprain accordingly.
People usually feel immediate pain at the site of an ankle sprain. Often the ankle starts to swell immediately and may develop bruising. The affected area is usually tender to touch and may feel "wobbly" or unstable.
In a mild sprain, swelling usually goes down within a few days.
The severity of your symptoms usually depends on how much tearing has occurred. In more severe sprains, you are often not able to walk or even put weight on your foot, and your ankle may feel unstable. You usually have extreme pain at first, but some people start to feel better fairly soon. You may also hear and/or feel a tearing sensation and a pop or a snap.
If a sprain does not heal correctly, your ankle joint may be more likely to be injured again or the pain may not go away. This often occurs with even a slight trauma, such as stepping off a curb or walking on uneven pavement. Some people complain of persistent pain and swelling.
Call your doctor now or seek immediate medical care if:
Watch closely for changes in your health, and be sure to contact your doctor if you are not getting better after 1 week.
If your pain is mild and you are able to put some weight on your foot, you may follow the recommendations in the Treatment Overview and Home Treatment sections of this topic. Early treatment followed by rehabilitation exercises help your ankle heal properly. If treatment recommendations are not followed, your ankle may stay weak and unstable.
For evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment of an ankle sprain, you may see:
For further treatment, you may be referred to:
Your doctor will ask you when and how the ankle sprain occurred and ask about any prior injuries.
Next, your doctor will examine your foot, ankle, and lower leg and even your knee to see if any other injury occurred. He or she may ask you to move your foot up and down and to take a few steps if possible. Your doctor will then carefully try moving your foot and ankle to see if the ligaments are intact and what movements cause pain.
If your sprain is mild, an X-ray may not be taken. If your sprain is more severe, you may need X-rays to evaluate the ankle. X-rays can help your doctor find out whether you have any ligament tears, broken bones, or bones that have moved out of their normal positions.
X-rays are often taken for children because of potential injury to the bone's growth plate and possible disruption of normal growth. Doctors may take X-rays of both ankles so they can compare the injured ankle with the one that is healthy.
Initial treatment for an ankle sprain is summarized as the RICE approach:
If you are not taking any prescription pain relievers, you may want to take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen or naproxen to reduce pain and swelling. Be safe with medicines. Read and follow all instructions on the label.
It may help to wear hiking boots or other high-top, lace-up shoes for support. But use caution. Don't force your foot into a boot if you feel a lot of pain or discomfort.
Your doctor may suggest that you keep some or all of your weight off your ankle as it heals. If this happens, learn to use your crutches or walker properly and safely.
Almost all ankle sprains heal on their own with proper home treatment and rehabilitation (rehab) exercises.
Surgery to repair torn ligaments is usually only considered when there is a severe ligament tear (or tears) or if the ankle remains unstable after rehab. Surgery is also a consideration if you have broken a bone.
Ankle sprains take an average of 6 weeks to heal but can take can up to 4 months, depending on the severity. An ankle brace, air stirrup, hiking boots, or other form of ankle support should be worn during this time to protect the ligaments. After the ankle is healed, wearing an ankle brace or taping the ankle may help prevent reinjury.
For more painful and severe sprains, you may not be able to walk, although you might be able to bear some weight while using crutches and a protective brace, such as a brace with a built-in air cushion or other form of ankle support. If pain is severe, use crutches until your doctor tells you that you can begin to bear weight. In general, if your pain is bearable, you should try to walk or bear some weight while using crutches and a protective brace, because these activities promote healing.
Some people who have repeated or severe sprains can develop long-term joint pain and weakness. Treating a sprained ankle can help prevent ongoing ankle problems. Rehabilitation (rehab) exercises for an ankle sprain can be done at home to promote proper healing and prevent chronic pain and instability. When rehab exercises are not followed after a sprain, the ankle can become weak and unstable.
In the case of a minor sprain, rehab exercises begin soon after the injury with walking. You can try wearing hiking boots or other high-top, lace-up shoes for support. But use caution. Don't force your foot into a boot if you feel a lot of pain or discomfort.
Stretching exercises should be continued daily and especially before and after physical activities to prevent reinjury. Even after your ankle feels better, continue with muscle-strengthening exercises and balance and control exercises several times a week to keep your ankles strong.
The timing and type of rehab exercises may vary according to your doctor's or physical therapist's preferences. You will probably do the following types of exercise.

Egypt unearths part of ancient King Khufu's boat
CAIRO A plank of wood believed to be from the boat of an ancient Egyptian king has been unearthed near the Great Pyramid at Giza, archaeologists said on Wednesday.
NEW YORK With Valentine's Day fast approaching, an international poll released on Wednesday showed that more people feel happy and financially secure if they are in a relationship than being single.
Nearly 80 percent of more than 18,000 adults questioned in an online Ipsos poll in 15 countries who were part of a couple said they were happy, compared with 67 percent of singles.
Canadian couples were the most content at 90 percent, compared with 53 percent of Hungarians, according to the survey by the independent market research firm.
"Based on our research, people in relationships say they're happier," said Janis Gilman, global marketing director for Ipsos.
But she added that the survey grouped singles with divorcees and widows, which are "all factors that play a negative role in one's happiness and financial security."
In Japan, 53 percent of singles said they were happy, compared with 77 percent of people in a relationship.
In the United States, 74 percent of singles said they were happy, compared with 89 percent of people in a relationship.
Couples were least happy in Hungary and Spain at around 50 percent. Argentine singles and couples tied, with 65 percent in both groups saying they were happy.
"This could have gone either way, given the trials and tribulations that can come from either circumstance. Being in a relationship could have a lot of positives and negatives," Keren Gottfried, senior research manager at Ipsos, said in an interview.
In addition to happiness, being in a relationship also has a positive impact on financial security, according to the poll.
Swedes reported the highest level of financial security of any country and the greatest gap between singles and couples. Sixty percent of couples felt their financial situation was strong, 20 percent more than singles.
Canada and the United States followed with the next highest percentages of both singles and couples saying they thought their finances were strong.
In the United States, 42 percent of couples said they felt financially secure, compared with 27 percent of single people.
Japan and South Korea tied for the lowest sense of financial security for singles, with only 11 percent.
In Italy and Hungary, more singles than couples reported their financial situation was strong.
Ipsos conducted the online poll between December 4 and December 18, questioning 500 or 1,000 people, depending on the country. The credibility interval is +/- 3.5 percentage points for a survey of 1,000 and +/- 5.0 percentage points for a poll of 500 people.

Linton Kwesi Johnson (aka LKJ) (born 24 August 1952, Chapelton, Jamaica) is a UK-based dub poet. He became the second living poet, and the only black poet, to be published in the Penguin Classics series. His poetry involves the recitation of his own verse in Jamaican Patois over dub-reggae, usually written in collaboration with renowned British reggae producer/artist Dennis Bovell.
Johnson attended Goldsmiths College in New Cross, London, which currently holds his personal papers in its archives; in 2004 he became an Honorary Visiting Professor of Middlesex University in London. In 2005 he was awarded a silver Musgrave medal from the Institute of Jamaica for distinguished eminence in the field of poetry.
While still at school he joined the British Black Panther Movement, helped to organize a poetry workshop within the movement, and developed his work with Rasta Love, a group of poets and drummers.

Baahubali director rubbished rumours of his collaboration with Jr RK and refutes working on a Hollywood project
The problems which stars struggle to fend off now seems to be plaguing star directors too. SS Rajamouli, who is busy with his film Baahubali, is a troubled man. The ace filmmaker is apparently perturbed by rumours of his association with Ranbir Kapoor and Hollywood action star Jet Li.
The agitated auteur tweeted," Jet li.? ranabir..? Where did this spring up from.?? And Hollywood..? As if it is as easy as taking a ticket and boarding the plane". He later informed,"Until baahubali is completed I don't have time for anything else.. I would declare myself if anything props up..thank you.."
Apparently a little birdie was chirping all around the tinsel town that Rajamouli was in talks with Barfi! actor for a Hindi movie and was directing a Hollywood film with Jet Li in lead. But the Eega director has stated all the rumours to be false. As much as his fans would like to see him venture into Bollywood and Hollywood projects, it looks like they would have to wait for long as Baahubali is SS Rajamouli's top most priority.

I remodeled my kitchen and replaced all appliances with Whirlpool Stainless appliances.This unit looks and works great but it does not compare with my similar sized Frigidaire side by side for ease of use. The Frigidaire has better adjustments for setting shelf heights and the shelves abut the rear wall of the unit. The Whirlpool's shelves do not reach the rear wall (better circulation I assume) and items always fall through that gap to the drawers below. Annoying!

Worse quality ever

Comments about Whirlpool White Side-By-Side Refrigerator:
Since the first-week plastic drawers started to malfunction. Ice dispenser engine broke right after the first year. Now, door shelves plastic is cracking. I will never buy another whirlpool refrigerator.
By Mark
from St. Louis, MO
We have had repairs on this in its short 5 year life. The evaporated went out. The icemaker has quit three times. The icemaker door doesn't close well and freezes the bottom layer of ice. Now the refrigerator side gas stopped cooling.
excellent for the price
By Tina17
from Indianapolis, Indiana, United States
I bought this refrigerator a couple of weeks ago and I just love it. The water and ice despinsers are the best. I really love that the ice can be cubed or crushed. It's nice and roomy, extra space for all the sodas and my kids luchables! Just FABU!

I bought this refrigerator two years ago and I can't WAIT to replace it!! The ice maker is a nightmare. What I thought would be a great idea, with the ice bucket in the door, has turned out to be disastrous. Half the time, Ice cubes fall everywhere except the basket. I pull more cubes from the bottom of the freezer than from the bucket. In the summer with the humidity, the darn thing freezes up and no ice dispenses AT ALL until it's totally emptied (by hand) and then pushed and pulled and poked with an ice pick to get it dislodged from its base and cleaned out. My advice if you're looking at this refrigerator is to RUN! Oh, yes, and it makes a lot of noise when it's running, too.
Almost great.
By Duff
from Folsom CA
Very happy with everything about my new fridge except.... The pull out fresh foods drawers are horribly designed. Plastic on plastic that doesn't slide easily, and screeches when you open, even with no food weighing the drawer down. You would think this would never have passed the manufacturing testing.

Even though it broke down within a few months of owning. The place where we bought was quick to have someone out to repair it. It runs beautifully now and I couldn't ask for anything more. I would not hesitate to purchase another Whirlpool brand item.

Solid quality, Great performance, and Average features for a
By skipolin21
from nj
Likes: Cooling/freezing performance is excellent while not running too often nor too loudly (though not whisper quiet either, but decent for this price point). In refrigerator side, storage layout, huge door bins, and glass shelves are quality and well designed. Ice maker "on-door" is a great feature and better overall compared to the old drawer style.Dislikes: Exterior door console style is outdated and light does not turn on when water or ice is dispensed (this is annoying because the 20 y/o whirlpool I replaced had the light function when the water or ice was dispensed). Freezer racks are basic and don't pull out making storage less accessible.Bottom line: Solid quality, Great performance, and average features for a good value.Just remember to give the salesperson and whirlpool customer service a hard time about the light in the external door console not functioning when water or ice is dispensed!!!
Very good product would buy again

October 25, 2006 A new shoe from Merrell caught our attention the other day and to say we were blown away with the look of the shoe is an understatement – somewhere between a sandal and a sports shoe, it's a sandal with hiking boot support and the on-demand advantage of an athletic construction. Beyond that, the Chameleon II web is aimed at a target consumer "with multi-ambitious outdoor aims, who frequently shifts speed, sites and steepness of terrain." Not much more is known at this stage other than a US$90 price.

Share this: Jane Austen's brothers "A Family of [Eight] children will always be called a fine family, where there are head and arms and legs enough for the number. " -Jane Austen Jane Austen had six brothers– each with different talents, each contributing to her work in some way. James (1765-1819) Often thought by the family to be the "literary one" (see his poem on Sense and Sensibility), one of Austen's brothers James followed in his father's footsteps attending Oxford university at the age of 14 in 1779. After his ordination in 1787, he and his brother Henry edited a university magazine called The Loiterer, which ran for sixty issues. (Some issues of The Loiterer are available on-line.) After his marriage, he became his father's curate at Deane, and after his retirement, He took on the duties of the Steventon as well. James was not Jane Austen's favorite brother, though she did call him "good and clever". He seems to have had a bit of melancholy about him, uncharacteristic of the other Austens. Perhaps it was turning from the excitement of Oxford to the retired life of a country Vicar. Perhaps it was seeing his literary pretensions lived out through his sister or the wealth acceded to by his younger brother. It is true that his life was not untouched by sorrow, as well. His first wife died when their daughter, Anna (1793-1872), was but two years old. Anna was the first niece and a favorite of Jane Austen's. She

text: The Colorado Rockies pounded the New York Mets yesterday in a game the Mets aren't likely to forget anytime soon. The Rockies' 11-3 pummeling included eight of the team's 11 runs coming in when they counted two outs (recap via the New York Daily News). It was a great day for pitcher Greg Smith, who claimed his first win as a Rockie and his first since September 2008, when he was a member of the Oakland A's, notes The Denver Post. But the man at Coors Field receiving the most attention yesterday was Brent Doeden, a 53-year-old beer vendor who prefers to be called "Captain Earthman." ESPN profiles the eccentric Doeden, who's been a vendor for Rockies games since Coors Field opened and is easily recognized by his unique apparel, which includes peanut-shell earrings, an eye patch, and a cell phone necklace. He gives customers his number so they can call him with orders, but sometimes he gets so many he has to turn off the phone. He's worked several jobs in his life---fish cutter, hot-tar roofer, and microchip maker---but seems destined to help people with refreshments and candy at ball games. But if you buy beer from him, you better plan to drink it--and that doesn't mean sipping just one over the course of the game. "This is a pro game," Doeden says. "You want to sissy-sip, go watch the Sky Sox down in Colorado Springs."

K-State tennis defeats Kansas, 4-3
LAWRENCE — No. 50 Kansas State received a hard-fought three-set win from Ana Gomez Aleman at number five singles to seal a 4-3 K-State win over Kansas on Saturday at the Jayhawk Tennis Center. The win moves K-State's winning streak over Kansas to five straight matches and K-State's overall current win streak to three matches. K-State owns an overall record of 7-6 and is 1-2 in Big 12 action, while KU falls to 8-5 overall and 0-3 in the league.
After KU secured the doubles point, K-State captured three of the next four singles points to take a 3-2 lead. Freshman Ivana Kubickova started the Wildcats on the right foot with a 6-3, 7-5 win over Paulina Los at number three singles. Kubickova, a product of Brno, Czech Republic, secured her second career Big 12 win and improved her rookie season record to 19-12.
At the top position in the K-State singles lineup, No. 11 ranked Petra Niedermayerova won her 12th match this spring (12-1) and her fifth straight with a 6-3, 7-5 win over Maria Jose Cardona to give K-State a 2-1 lead. With the win, Niedermayerova recorded her 26th win this season (26-6) and ties her for third in school history with Karin Lusnic (1991-92, 26-13). She is 20-4 this season in straight set matches and 60-16 in her career in straight sets.
Niedermayerova, a junior from Brno, Czech Republic, ranks fourth on the K-State single-season wins list with a record of 74-29 (.718) and needs three wins to move into a three-way tie for second with Petra Sedlmajerova (1999-03; 77-47) and Jessica Simosa (2001-06; 77-61). She needs five wins to move into a tie for first with Maria Rosenberg (2000-05; 79-54).
Following a KU win at number six singles, senior Karla Bonacic brought K-State back into the lead, 3-2, with a 7-6, 6-3 win at number two singles over Maria Belen Luduena. Bonacic owns a career record of 52-18 in dual match action, including a 30-11 mark from the No. 2 position in the lineup.
Kansas squared the match at three apiece with a three-set win at number four singles. Gomez Aleman sealed the win for the Wildcats with a 4-6, 6-2, 6-4 win over Anastasija Trubica at number five singles. Gomez Aleman tallied her second straight three-set win, after downing Anneka Watts of Fresno State in three-sets on March 18. The product of Murcia, Spain, is now 42-66 in her career.
