Clark Jones
A Clark Jones performance is like a bag of M&M's. You never quite know the make-up when it starts, but its guaranteed to be plenty chocolatey, and even more nutty. Corny analogies aside, Clark is one of the nation's premier up-and-coming comedians.
He hails from the south side of Chicago where he honed many of his comedic skills and "survival" wit. Growing up in a hilarious family, surrounded by folks much funnier, yet slightly less vindictive, Clark decided the best way to express himself would be to take the stage.
Also, a graduate of Morehouse College, it was in Atlanta, Clark learned the art of entertaining crowds from different sections of the country, an alement he calls "universitality."
He has performed in venues far ranging from Comix NYC to Chicago's Zanies and plenty of places in between. He credits Jokes and Notes Comedy club in Chicago's Bronzeville neighborhood as the place that gave him his start. He can be found at colleges and clubs telling his brand of off-the-wall humor.

SFO crash kills 2, injures 182
At least two people died Saturday when a South Korean airline's Boeing 777 crash-landed, broke apart and caught fire at San Francisco International Airport — marking the end of a four-year era in which the U.S. has been free of fatal commercial airline disasters.
San Francisco Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White said during a news conference that two people had died in the crash of Asiana Airlines Flight 214. A total of 182 were reported injured, at least 49 of them critically.
Story Continued Below
On Sunday, Hayes-White said 19 of those remained hospitalized, with six of them in critical condition, according to the Associated Press.

Asiana said in a statement that the flight had left Incheon International Airport near Seoul with 291 passengers and 16 crew members. The passengers included 61 U.S. citizens, 77 Koreans, and 141 Chinese citizens. There were also small numbers from Canada, France, Japan, India and Vietnam, and a few who were not specified.
According to the Associated Press, the two people who died were students at Jiangshan Middle School from the Zhejiang province in eastern China. They were identified as Ye Mengyuan and Wang Linjia, and both were 16 years old. Both girls were part of a group of 29 students and five teachers traveling from the school.
At a news conference before the National Transportation Safety Board's "go team" launched to the accident site, board Chairwoman Deborah Hersman declined to speculate about the cause but said her agency was receiving "very good cooperation" from both Boeing and the FAA.
( Also on POLITICO: Navigation system at SFO had been turned off before crash)
"We have to gather facts before reaching any conclusions," Hersman told reporters at Ronald Reagan National Airport.
Hersman said South Korean government officials would be invited to participate in the investigation.
President Barack Obama was alerted to the crash by Lisa Monaco, assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism, according to a White House statement.
There were no immediate indications that the crash resulted from a terrorist attack, although news reports said the FBI was assisting NTSB with the investigation.
The New York Times quoted aviation experts speculating that the plane may have touched down too soon on the runway, which is set up in such a way that "the runway's usable area does not begin at the start of the pavement." It said another question for investigators will be who exactly was at the plane's controls during the landing.
( Also on POLITICO: Cockpit, data recorders recovered from Asiana jet)
Injuries on the Asiana Airlines jet may be fire-related. Local news media including San Francisco television station KTVU, quoting anonymous local fire department sources, said the plane was "fully engulfed" in flames when firefighters arrived on the scene.
It remains unclear why the plane crashed at the end of the nonstop flight from Seoul. Witness accounts suggest the widebody jet, which was carrying a full load, was landing as normal but may have come in short of the runway. There are also indications that its tail may have clipped the seawall at San Francisco's airport before separating from the plane.
But KTVU also reported that witnesses saw the tail of the Boeing 777 break off as it was landing, flipping the plane over before it came to a stop.

That is a little over $7.50 per ml. I would suggest a split, but the price seems outrageous even for a split. We'll see!
So I had just posted the news that there are the 3 new OUD's coming around April (Silk, Velvet, and Cashmere) which the rep had sampled and said they were amazing (but she uses that word pretty often of course...)and thought this one deserved a new thread (and apologies if this is old news). She just unloaded a bunch of info for some new upcoming fragrances including 5 new Absolue versions of existing fragrances.
First in September there is a new frag called Running Water which will be sold in the 6.7 oz and 2.4 oz. sizes. Described as "Divine" by the rep. All I know is that it's unisex.
Then there are 5 special edition Absolue versions that will be sold in a special enclosure that lights up when opened (similar, but smaller than the limited edition $11K offering MFK had going on here-
These will be 6.7oz sizes of
Absolue Lumiere Noire
Absolue Amyris
Absolue Oud
Absolue Aqua Universalis Forte (she said she was told Aqua Universalis and we assume it's Forte
Absolue APOM
Unfortunately price for admission is $1,500.
Tom Ford Private Blend Splits HERE
That is a little over $7.50 per ml. I would suggest a split, but the price seems outrageous even for a split. We'll see!
Quite pricey.
I'll spray it in my new car....Wait a minute 11k, I wasn't able to buy the car, I just spend it on a fragrance.
I didn't expect it to be this steep!!!
Price for EACH absolue 6.7 oz is $1,500? If so, ridiculous. EDT is $2.35/ml, Absolue (assume to be EDP?) is $7.50? Nope.
Creed GIT, Clive Christian 1872 & X For Men --------> http://www.basenotes.net/threads/370...-International
The number of releases (3 new ouds, 5 absolue scents) is somewhat alarming, if your SA speaks the truth. I'd generally prefer the release of a few very good scents to a massive launch in one year like this. But who knows, maybe some of these have been in development for a while.
Also, I sincerely hope he releases non-special edition versions of these absolue fragrances at similar price levels to his original scents. I really love this house, which includes some of my favorites, but I'm put off by some of the recent pricing. I'd love to see Absolue Lumiere Noire and Absolue APOM at a similar price as Absolue pour le Soir.
For the scents that have pour homme and pour femme versions, I wonder how the absolue compares to each version (homme vs. femme).
Exactly who's going to be using up 6.7 oz of something like this ?
I suspect the "opulence" of things like this is the big selling point, but there are times when such "luxury" gives the impression that people are being played.
Ha ha ha, he is certainly testing the market. But has he priced himself out of it?
Absolue Acqua Universalis Forte?
What will we see next? Channel Allure Homme Sport Extremely Extreme?
***For sale:

The concept of "absolue" and "200 ml" in the same sentence is just wrong.

I would far prefer new scents rather than eternal (and more and more expensive) variations on a theme (<cough> le male <cough>).
But let's see how they smell, if anyone gets the chance, that is...
I am becoming less and less enamored with this house as time passes. I love Lumiere Noir pour Homme, but their other releases have not really wowed me, and now this?!? A complete money grab for sure.
Current Top Favorites:
1) Portrait of a Lady original formula (EdP Frédéric Malle)
2) Giorgio for Men vintage/V.I.P. for Men (Giorgio Beverly Hills)
3) Dia Man vintage edt (Amouage)

11k? I will take that money to the bank! Thanks
Well, I can tell you that I can consider AplS as the best absolue version without testing the upcoming releases.

If he dont want us buying his fragrances, well, there are 200 more houses, in the left corner, at place vendome!!
What a shame Mr Kurkdjian! Go public telling that it was a missinformation (even if that it wasnt).
Sorry I haven't won the lottery yet. Maybe next week.
Im intrigued by the running water one but yeah this pricing is ridiculous. Congrats on creating something that won't sell for those prices.

Research Papers On Consumer Behavior
The study of consumer behavior involves elements of economics, the social sciences, and the physical sciences. An endless and diverse field of research and applications, consumer behavior considers such areas as buying decision-making, internal influences, and external influences on the consumer. An understanding of consumer behavior can lead to improved marketing strategies on the part of firms and organizations, and can also lead to improved public policy.
Keywords Consumer Behavior; Consumer Buying Decision Process; Deviant Behavior; Planned Behavior; Purchase Decision
Marketing: Consumer Behavior
In marketing, consumer behavior is the study of the acquisition, consumption, use, and disposal of products, services, experiences, or ideas, by consumers. When considered in greater depth, consumer behavior can be defined as the study of how and when individuals, groups and organizations select, purchase, use and dispose of products, services, experiences or ideas to satisfy their needs. It also involves the study of why consumption decisions are made. In addition, consumer behavior looks at the impacts that the processes of selection, purchasing, use, and disposal have on consumers and on society.
Consumer behavior studies the characteristics of individual consumers, by looking at variables such as demographics, psychographics and behavior, in an attempt to understand the consumer and his or her world. Demographics include factors such as race, age, income, mobility (travel time to work or number of vehicles available), educational attainment, home ownership, employment status and location. Psychographics are attributes related to personality, values, attitudes, interests, or lifestyles. Behavioral variables include usage rate and loyalty. Consumer behavior also tries to assess influences on the consumer from groups such as family, friends, reference groups and society in general (Perner, 2003).
Consumer behavior is a subcategory of marketing that blends elements from economics, psychology, sociology, social psychology, anthropology and other sciences, such as physiological psychology, biochemistry, and genetics. The field of economics actually provided the foundation for marketing, but it wrongly assumed "that consumers are rational decision makers who actively seek information, objectively evaluate alternatives available to them, and make rational selections of products or services to maximize their benefits." By neglecting the emotional side of the customer, among other psychological factors, economists "failed to provide marketing with all of the concepts needed to understand the complexities" of what motivates consumers(Demirdjian & Senguder, 2004, p. 349).
Realizing these limitations, marketing scholars began to seek an "understanding of consumer behavior from other sciences. Psychology — the study of individual behavior — was one of the earliest and most extensively used fields from which concepts have been borrowed. Motivation, perception, learning, beliefs, attitudes and so on, have all been used to explain why the consumer behaves the way he or she does" (Demirdjian & Senguder, 2004, p. 349). "Social psychology is yet another source from which many concepts have been borrowed, as this field is concerned with the behavior of individuals in the presence of other individuals or groups." Research into other sciences such as physiological psychology, which is the "study of the interaction of the body with the mind," and which studies the "extent to which behavior is caused by physical and chemical phenomena in the body," is relatively recent (Demirdjian & Senguder, 2004, p. 349).
It has been said that the basic nature of consumer behavior is diversity: the field is characterized by diversity in theories and diversity in research methods (Demirdjian & Senguder, 2004). Although early related research can be traced back much further, the attempt to theorize consumer behavior began in 1962, first looking at the type of behavioral processes consumers typically used in adopting new products; then addressing consumer problem-solving, buyer behavior, and buyer decision processes. Subsequent research has looked into information processing of consumer choice, and the experiential consumer.
Since the early 1980s, research has been conducted in areas as wide and varied as deviant behavior, consumer perception, planned behavior, intention-behavior discrepancy, environmentally responsible behavior, consumer judgment, attitudes, dependence, international and cross-cultural consumer behavior, impulsive buying, personality-behavior relationships, the role of imagery, and social and political marketing issues.
Behavior occurs either for an individual on his or her own; for an individual in the context of a group (where others in the group influence how a person behaves); or for an organization (where people on the job make decisions as to which products the firm should use). The study of consumer behavior attempts to understand the buyer decision making process for individuals, groups and organizations.
Consumer decision making comes about as an attempt to solve consumer problems, both major and minor. A consumer buying decision process can have up to six stages. Actual purchasing is only one stage of the process, and not all decision processes may lead to a purchase. The number of stages involved in a particular decision will depend on the degree of complexity of that decision. The six stages are: problem recognition, information search, evaluation of alternatives, purchase decision, purchase, and post-purchase evaluation.
The first stage, Problem Recognition, is when a consumer becomes aware of a need. The need is manifest because there is a difference between the consumer's desired state and his or her actual condition. The second stage is the information search. There are two types of information searches: internal and external. With an internal information search, the consumer searches the information stored in his or her memory. If more information is needed after the internal search, the consumer may consult external information sources such as friends and relatives for word-of-mouth; marketing information; comparison shopping; and public sources.
A successful information search leaves a needy consumer with possible alternatives collectively called the Evoked Set. Armed with the evoked set, the consumer embarks on the third stage of the buying decision process: Evaluation of alternatives. Here, the consumer may need to establish the criteria for evaluation, such as features of the product or service that the buyer wants or does not want. The consumer may rank or weigh the alternatives to arrive at a choice, or resume searching if a satisfactory choice is not arrived at. Information from different sources may be treated differently.
The fourth stage in the consumer buying decision process is the purchase decision. Here, the consumer selects from the available alternatives, making decisions on details such as the specific product or service, its packaging, retail outlet and method of purchase. The fifth stage is the purchase, which at times occurs simultaneously with the purchase decision. Sometimes product availability issues may cause a time lapse between the purchase decision and the actual purchase.
The sixth and last stage in the consumer buying decision process is post-purchase evaluation (also known as post-acquisition evaluation), which may occur to the buyer consciously or subconsciously. At the end of his or her evaluation, the buyer may experience satisfaction or dissatisfaction. Dissatisfaction may result from many factors, such as unmet brand expectations, and at times may lead to the consumer lodging a complaint. A satisfied consumer may end...
The paper deals with the results of the primary research which purpose was to examine the impact of brand on influencing consumers to purchase a product. The goal of the paper is to stress the fact that the brand has an impact on customer decision-making process. Original primary data within the primary research were collected by using a quantitative method of questionnaire. Into the quantitative research was involved selected group of 1,250 respondents. Partial results of the complex research conducted between 2009 and 2014 are subject to the content of the paper. Primary research was conducted continuously during the period of six months in 2014 in Slovakia. An established questionnaire was pilot tested and revised before it was used. As the statistical method was used chi-square test. Based on above stated subject area of research have been formulated two hypotheses focused on relationship between the age of respondents and purchasing branded products and between the age of respondents and brand preference. We have found that purchasing of branded products and preference of brand origin depends on the age of consumers.

Focus, as it should, remains on those players in town.
Front and centre of the still-standing gang is Sean Monahan, sixth overall pick at this past summer's National Hockey League draft. And while the teen is impressing local observers with his savvy displays, the Calgary Flames were aware of what they had all along.
"We knew what kind of player he was, we knew what kind of maturity he had," general manager Jay Feaster said Wednesday afternoon. "It's impressive what he's done. We're pleased with it. When you look at the way he's performed, he certainly doesn't look he's a young man."
At the Young Stars Classic in Penticton, B.C., Monahan had scored twice — and was plus-two — in two appearances.
In three NHL pre-season games, he's produced two more goals, going plus-one.
Throughout, he's proven to be a responsible centreman, no small thing at this level.
Monahan, who turns 19 on Oct. 12, is going to get — and certainly deserves — a longer look. (Just the other day, coach Bob Hartley was saying that the boy, in some ways, reminds him of, ahem, Joe Sakic.)
"I'm not going to go overboard about being surprised," said Feaster, "because we had done our homework ahead of time. I guess people don't believe us. But the fact of the matter is, we knew what kind of player we were drafting. And we had said from the beginning that we were going to give this young man an opportunity. We saw the determination at the development camp (in July). This is a young man, who, from the time we drafted him, said, 'My goal is to make the Calgary Flames.'
"What's unique about him is, as a first-year draft guy, I think he grasps the need to be in shape better than maybe a lot of guys do. Typically what you see is guys coming in and they don't realize the kind of shape they have to be in. That's not the case with this player."
Hanging around yet are the stubborn likes of defencemen Keegan Kanzig, Tyler Wotherspoon, Chad Billins; forwards Josh Jooris, Michael Ferland, Mikael Granlund, Ben Street.
Clearly, the Flames' loud spiel about roster vacancies had not been not lost on the challengers.
"I don't think there's any question about that," said Feaster. "I think you see it in the play of the kids. I think you see it in the play of the veterans. I think the veterans are stepping up their play because they recognize that positions are open.
"We're very pleased with training camp so far."
Flames brass, however, did need to cut a wide swath through the group, re-assigning 19 players.
"(The process) is a collective effort — myself, John Weisbrod, Craig Conroy, the coaching staff here in Calgary," said Feaster, pointing out that although president of hockey operations Brian Burke wasn't in the room Wednesday, he had his say. "And, obviously, we don't just sit down once. We sit down at the end of every day and we evaluate players . . . and we came to the conclusions that we announced."
* Sent to the American Hockey League's Abbotsford Heat (13) — G Laurent Brossoit, G Joni Ortio, D Mark Cundari, D Brady Lamb, D James Martin, D Zach McKelvie, C Paul Byron, C Brett Olson, LW Carter Bancks, LW Turner Elson, LW Ben Hanowski, RW David Eddy, RW Greg Nemisz
* Returned to junior (6) — D Brett Kulak (WHL Vancouver), D Ryan Culkin (QMJHL Quebec), D Eric Roy (WHL Brandon), LW Morgan Klimchuk (WHL Regina), RW Coda Gordon (WHL Swift Current), RW Emile Poirier (QMJHL Gatineau)
For Poirier, 22nd pick overall at the draft, this hardly stands as a failure.
Quite the opposite.
"He's been very good," said Feaster. "He had a good rookie camp. He had a good camp here. He's not ready to make our hockey team and play in the NHL right now. So for that reason, we decided, 'Let's get him back.' His junior team starts up on the weekend. He's going to be an important guy there, a go-to guy. As we told him, we want him to set the goal in the first half of the season that his play is such that he makes the world-junior team for Canada."
Remaining in Calgary are 38 gents — three goalies, 13 defencemen, 22 forwards. NHL clubs can carry 23 players.
After off-days for the players Wednesday and Thursday, camp resumes Friday morning at WinSport.
The Flames have two pre-season dates remaining, both at home — Monday against the New York Rangers, Wednesday against the Phoenix Coyotes.
"Now (cuts) will get more difficult," said Feaster. "We have two games left. We'll talk with the coaching staff about how they want to approach those games and we'll go from there. It's still an evaluation process."

Junior Jackson Knowles made the podium in both of his races, Pierce said, noting that Knowles placed third in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 1 minute, 4.99 seconds, and fourth in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 2:13.59, cutting 1.05 seconds off his personal best time.
"Jackson came the closest of any of our swimmers in qualifying for state," Pierce said. "The top two finishers in each race at region were guaranteed entrance into the state competition, or if their time is among the top 24 times among the teams in 2A/3A this season."
Pierce said that although Knowles didn't immediately qualify, both of his times at region were entered for consideration at state.
"We'll be informed if he was accepted on Wednesday, Jan. 30," Pierce said. The state meet is Feb. 8 and 9 at Brigham Young University in Provo.
Several other Red Devils also recorded noteworthy times at the region meet, coach Pierce said.
Senior Gaby Meyer dropped an impressive 19.50 seconds off her personal best time in the 500-yard freestyle, making her new best time 8:07.74. Also, sophomore Gabbie Martineau cut 4.88 seconds off her personal best time in the 100-yard backstroke and improved her best time in the 100-yard freestyle by 0.79 seconds. Senior Brianna Ballard also set a new personal best time in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 35.14.
Freshman Kayla Weston placed 10th out of 21 swimmers in the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 1:15.22 and 11th out of 28 swimmers in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 32.27.
For the Red Devil boys, sophomore Duncan Reidhead swam a personal best in the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 1:00.27, which was 2.99 seconds faster than his previous best time, Pierce said. Reidhead also dropped 0.23 seconds in the 50-yard freestyle, setting a new personal best time of 27.10 seconds, Pierce said.
Freshman River Murdock cut his personal best time in both of his races as well, completing the 500-yard freestyle in a time of 7:17.47, a 1.67-second improvement, and the 200-yard freestyle in a time of 2:32.39, dropping 0.84 seconds. In addition, junior Treyton Helquist shaved 2.16 seconds off his best time in the 100-yard breaststroke with a finishing time of 1:22.87, Pierce said.
Also at the region meet, freshman Drake Hackney swam the 50-yard freestyle in 29.86 and the 100-yard breaststroke in 1:25.93.
"Overall, it was a great year. Just about everyone on the team steadily improved their times throughout the season," Pierce said. Pierce also thanked the supporters of the swim team during the team's first-ever season, including parents, school staff, sponsors and other members of the community.

Azzurri Mezzo 90 rear derailleur hanger

On 15 June, I brought the bike into my LBS for a replacement for the bent rear derailleur hanger. On 19 June, the shop advised me they'd called Cycling Express and were told that this part was out of stock / on order and CE didn't know when they'd be getting any more in from Taiwan.
After a few days of refreshing http://www.cyclingexpress.com/cycle/azz ... arbon.aspx I didn't believe the shop as only the "Mezzo" hanger had been advertised, and there are at least four main kinds of Mezzo (Mezzo Elite, Mezzo Team, Mezzo Pro, and Mezzo 90). So I bought the "Mezzo" hanger and today I found the LBS was right. The "Mezzo" hanger currently advertised on that page is unsuitable for the "Mezzo 90" frame. This could be made clearer on the CE website - it would save time for their customers and save CE returns as well. Another reason this needs clarification is that CE only currently sells four "Mezzo" bikes - three kinds of "Mezzo 90" (Dura-Ace Di2, Ultegra Di2, SRAM Red) and a "Mezzo Team Pro" (Ultegra). It would seem reasonable that their advertised "Mezzo" hanger would fit three out of the four "Mezzo" bikes they currently sell.
The shop also advised that CE said when a hanger is not in stock, it is not shown on that page. If true, this would seem to add to the confusion as some people will just buy the wrong part, assuming that the page shows everything available.
I've been waiting three weeks now and there's no ETA for the part. This is less than I expected from a major bike brand. I thought this would be a fairly easily replaceable part on a current model bike and they've been selling the Mezzo 90 for more than nine months now.
The shop is following up with CE for me. I hope I can post some good news here soon.

I told them that was unacceptable, and that their Azzurri rear derailleur hanger page does not explain that their "Mezzo" hanger does not fit the "Mezzo 90". I left my name and phone number - let's see what they can do. At the moment, naturally, I would not recommend this bike to others.
My friend got an email saying "Under new management, New Website coming 1st Aug". They definitely need a big shake up.

He said they had not had it in stock before and no-one had ordered it before. I told him I was pretty pissed, I had been waiting three weeks, and he needs to fix the website straight away so that customers know the "Mezzo" hanger there won't fit three out of four "Mezzo" bikes they currently sell. I said how will I know you have it in stock; he said he'd update the website so it would say "Mezzo 90" hanger. (That hanger is for the "white Mezzo".) He'd been waiting six months. He promised to call me back as soon as they were in stock and I said I'd be following it up anyway.

Some spares for many bikes/bike parts are non-existant. Eg Shimano does not sell any spares for its brakes - its anew caliper or nothing.

It was bent after the bike fell on the derailleur side, but that's not really relevant. I did ask them to sell me one off a new bike after telling them August was an unacceptable timeframe. I'll take a look at that page of spares too (but I think the LBS had looked). I agree with the standard hanger suggestion.
Well, I hope CE learns from this experience - there was a guy from Malaysia asking for the Mezzo 90 hanger on their facebook page today: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid ... 838&type=1

Right now when I search for the keyword "hanger" on the CE site ...
https://www.cyclingexpress.com/?lang=en ... ord=hanger
... I get only two results: "Azzurri Rear Hanger for Mezzo 90" and "Park Tool Derailleur Hanger Alignment Gauge - DAG-2". The picture of the Mezzo 90 hanger on that page is silver and has two holes (https://www.cyclingexpress.com/?lang=en ... r-Mezzo-90). The actual Mezzo 90 hanger is black (like the page says) and has four holes in total. Even the Mezzo hanger that I ordered has three holes, so I don't know what the picture on that page is.
At the moment it seems the only hanger you can find on the website is for the Mezzo 90 - so they've gone from being that one being the only one you can't find to that one being the only one you can find. There is clearly still some website work to do.
OK, that is enough criticism. I am really enjoying riding it again.
Durian Rider has promised a review in his Mezzo 90 unboxing video (7 August): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cJlfGjql4k
He really liked the Forza RL and said there's now no difference between a $2,500 bike (i.e. the Forza) and a $10,000 bike: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4kIB234vOY ... the unboxing video was on 25 April 2013 and the review video was on 21 May 2013, so there could be a review of the Mezzo 90 soon.

I am still happy with my bike after 2 years and 12,700 km. At the beginning I replaced the 120 mm stem with a 90 mm stem. I replaced the tyres (Continental Ultra Race) and chain and cassette around 8,200 km, the bar tape and bar ends a couple of times, and that's it. The tyres are now GP Attack and Force - much better rolling resistance - the first Force (back) lasted about 3,000 km and then I noticed a chunk missing, and I am replacing the Attack (front) after 4,500 km as it's looking a bit furry on one side.
The Mezzo 90 is listed on azzurribikes.com but I'm not sure whether cyclingexpress intends to sell them in the future. The specs seem a bit higher than one of the competitors, the Cell Omeo 2.0. Feel free to chime in if you know ...

18 hangers - 2 Azzurri, 1 Cannondale, 2 Carrera, 4 Colnago, 5 De Rosa, 1 Giant, 1 Pinarello, 1 Verite, 1 Wilier.
I've seen Azzurri hangers on sale there for as low as $A5.61. I don't think this or random pricing is a good look.

Words for the season
Why I Love Nebraska
When it's winter in Nebraska,
And the gentle breezes blow
About seventy miles an hour,
And it's fifty-two below,
You can tell you're in Nebraska,
'Cause the snow's up to your butt;
When you take a breath of winter air
Your nostrils both freeze shut.
The weather here is wonderful,
So I guess I'll hang around;
I could NEVER leave Nebraska--
My feet are frozen to the ground.
(Author unknown)
I saw a scrap of this little ditty posted on Facebook and did an internet search to track it down. I found versions for Christmas and New Year as well as winter. I also found the poem adapted to North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, Wyoming, Montana, Minnesota, Missouri, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Buffalo, New Hampshire, Maine, Alaska, Canada, and Nova Scotia! I didn't find the author's name, though.
I should stop whining about the cold weather we've been having in Kentucky. At least, our temperatures have stayed above zero so far. Here are today's early morning temperatures from Nebraska, according to the National Weather Service. Note that they all start with a minus sign!
Broken Bow: -12° (7:31 am)
Imperial: -12° (7:14 am)
North Platte: -12° (7:45 am)
Valentine: -19° (8:07 am)
Ainsworth: -14° (6:50 am)
Ogallala: -14° (7:10 am)
O'Neill: -13° (6:50 am)
Thedford: -16° (6:50 am)
And the overnight low in Hay Springs, Nebraska: -26°. (Note to Keely and Isaac: Hay Springs is a little town in northwestern Nebraska, a couple towns west of Gordon where my mother grew up and one town east of Chadron where I attended college for a couple of years.)
The bitter cold and the related wind chills put a lot of extra stress on man, beast, and everything mechanical.

'My feminism really began after reading The Beauty Myth, by Naomi Wolf. The book is far from revolutionary by my standards now, but when I read it my world was changed forever. This was years after I had been involved in skepticism, and years after becoming an atheist, just barely into my twenties. The difficult questions being raised by her work felt awfully familiar to me, she sounded just like my skeptic and atheist friends who were critical of ideas that were supposedly too sacred to question.
The book didn't just make me think, it made me angry. I had spent years suffering for ideas I found out were totally fabricated, and designed specifically to make me feel horrible about myself so someone else could profit from it. I suffered for ideas that elevated the status of men at the expense of women. I compromised my health many times to lose weight, and there was virtually never a time that I gave up constant vigilance against gaining weight. It is a pitiable, tiring way to live, and I had done it for about 7 years at that point. I didn't suffer as badly as other women I knew, many abused themselves for weight loss but also put up with humiliating (and sometimes painful) cosmetic procedures to rid themselves of hair, wrinkles, and other normal human features. When I was a teenager my mother got acid poured on her face to sear the wrinkles off of it. A surgeon, someone who pledges to do no harm to patients, did that to her for money. It echoed so perfectly what popular culture told me about appearance and beauty that it wasn't even remarkable to me, it was normal for women to hate their bodies and faces. It was so normal that the violence inherent in all of it was invisible. Such a hatred for my body meant seeing me, all of me, as a thing instead of a person. Other women had chipped away at their sense of self exactly as I had.
I wasn't transformed over night, but I did change a lot about myself pretty quickly. Eating like a normal person actually resolves many psychological problems caused by starvation, so I felt much better in general. I grieved for the years I had wasted hurting myself. I grieved for women who were still hurting themselves. I began to see that I had worth as a person. I was worth listening to and nourishing. I got help from a friend in college and enrolled in some classes, something I never thought I would do. Feminism helped me feel like a real person. I thought to myself, "men get to feel this way all the time, they don't even have to fight for it. Every woman deserves to feel like they matter." I wanted more people to know what I knew.
The more I thought about and researched the way women suffer for beauty, and the way men gain from that, I began to see some interesting parallels with religion and scams of all sorts. I became eager to discuss feminism with people in the skeptics groups I frequented. I felt as though I had discovered some new interesting intellectual territory, and was excited to see what other people thought. So many friends had used their intellects to impress me in the past with analysis of various issues. Surely, a great discussion would ensue.
I could not have been more wrong. I was met at every turn with dismissal and embarrassingly fallacious reasoning. What had happened to the intellectual honesty, the curiousness, of the people I knew? Why was no one outraged at the poor quality of arguments being used to dismiss my findings outright? I never expected everyone to agree with me, but I expected the level of discourse afforded to creationists and homeopaths. It became apparent that most of the people in my circle were… men. They didn't want to think about the things I brought up, and they all helped each other avoid confronting problems with sexism. I became disillusioned with these groups, even though I still strongly supported the stated principles of all of the groups. I still believe in those things, and believe feminism is inherent in critical thought about problems affecting women and girls.
It got much more troubling to me once I began to research things like rape and sexual harassment. I realized that I had either been subject to sexual harassment, witnessed it against another woman, at every job I have ever worked at. This was true of virtually every woman I knew. The ones who spoke up usually got in trouble or were ignore. I realized that sexual abuse was a common experience for women as well. I knew from personal experience how little the judicial system cares if you decide to report being raped. I reported having been raped as a teenager. I gave the police contact information for other women who I knew who had been abused by the same guy, and they never even called them to collect statements. They did question me repeatedly and gave me a card to call someone for psychological help, as if I wanted to discuss what had happened even more. That was all that ever happened. People I told outside of the police had mixed reactions, a lot of men simply thought I was a liar or a whore, and it made dealing with the aftermath of sexual abuse much more difficult. I saw these attitudes mirrored all over society. Outside of feminism there was not much concern about these issues at all.
I got more involved with feminist groups, spaces that were much safer for women, and got introduced to feminism that dealt with more than the issues affecting economically privileged white women. I became interested in how racism and colonialism functioned. I am white and didn't want to do to people of color what men had done to me. I wanted to listen instead. I made a point of finding people with experiences very different from my own, and trying to really understand their perspective. It was amazingly difficult but it helped me develop a lot of maturity, and to also see that social justice was a struggle for the majority of people in the world. I saw how we could all support each other. This is something I still try to do, something central to my feminism today.
Eventually I wanted to write, something that was outside the realm of possibility to me just a few years before. I had come a long way from thinking I was not worth listening to. Since reading The Beauty Myth I've discovered some troubling things about Naomi Wolf's beliefs, but I will always be grateful to her for writing that book. I will always be grateful to other brave women who write, like bell hooks and Andrea Dworkin, for helping to expand my understanding of the world we women live in. My life had improved so much because of individuals who had decided that it was important to spread a message of truth. They wrote despite the ridicule and insults, they wrote because it was too important to let other people stop them. I want to be that person for someone else out there.'

It's so hard for me to find a jumpsuit that compliments my bottom. I have a lean Latin bum and this is the first jumpsuit in my 24 years that has given me life. The bow help add texture. THE ONLY DOWNFALL I had was the color. It may just have been me, but I was expecting a Rich red color. I got a dark magenta. The color of this jumpsuit changes in photos. I still love it though.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Katerinaa from amazing!!! Beautiful jumpsuit. I normally do not like jumpsuits but this one is a must have. Beautiful red color is a must, sexy and classy. Would definitely buy more in other colors!!!!

Rated 2 out of 5 by Nekieta from Disappointed I really wanted to like this jumpsuit because the color is beautiful. Unfortunately, it is extremely sheer and the lining provided stops well above your knee.. I wish the lining was the full length of the pant but it stops above the knee which you can clearly see through the pants. This a no no and the reason why I am returning this jumpsuit..

Rated 5 out of 5 by Highstyle from Must have in your closet Classy but sexy! I had to cut out the lining but other than that I'm still getting compliments days later. This was the first jumpsuit I didn't have to get hemmed, it was an exact fit. I wore a half bra it showed through the cut outs but it wasn't bad.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Tuty from Stunning! This jumpsuit is absolutely amazing! The pictures don't even do it justice! I have the coral color and I plan to purchase the new color. The cutouts on the back of the jumpsuit are super sexy yet still manage to be classy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by NatashaV from lovely, well suited for work Love it, I wish it came in black. There is only one cons - the cut outs on the back, you have to find a specific bra which is the issue with a lot of BEBE clothes for me, so this particular jumpsuit is not as bad as the rest of dresses with no back at all. If you like things tighter, get one size smaller. I usually buy XS or S depending on a style, I tried it in M and it was a little loose, so I got S, fits me well considering harsh on the body winter:))

While many veterans and their families planned to watch President Barack Obama's speech on Iraq Tuesday night, few seem to think that the formal end of America's combat role there will make much difference for them or for the strife-torn country where they fought.
Iraq War veterans and their families cited a number of factors that still generate uncertainty about Iraq, including the absence of a credible government in Baghdad and the recent resurgence of bombings, which suggests that insurgent forces are still active in the country.
Others criticize Obama for adhering to a timeline for U.S. departure — in both Iraq and Afghanistan — that tempts insurgents to wait for American soldiers to leave before renewing their attacks on government forces.
"I'm happy that the combat troops are coming home from Iraq, but most soldiers and veterans will tell you that we still have Afghanistan to face," said Michael Hawley of Chester, who served 16 months in Iraq in 2005 and 2006 with an armored personnel carrier brigade.
The formal end of combat actions in Iraq, Hawley said, elicits feelings of ambivalence more than a sense of closure. The outcome in Iraq, he said, is too mixed for soldiers and their families to share a sense of accomplishment about the war.
"Yes, we got rid of a vicious dictator, but I don't think we should have gone into Iraq in the first place," Hawley said. "We accomplished some level of democracy for the country, but they are always going to have trouble with sectarianism in Iraq."
Tom Butler, a retired Aetna executive from Simsbury, is the father of an Iraq War veteran. His son Mark, a Marine lance corporal now based at Twentynine Palms, Calif., served in a light armored reconnaissance unit along the Iraq-Syrian border in 2008.
No matter how effective Obama's speech, Butler said Tuesday afternoon, uncertainty about Iraq persists.
"The big unanswered question is: now that things over there seem to be getting worse, and they don't really have a government that is in working order, will our soldiers have to go back in?" Butler said. "Is the mission really accomplished? We don't have a real feeling of certainty about that and there are too many issues still to be addressed."
Butler also said he thinks that the impact of Obama's speech will be undermined by recent events in Iraq, including fresh reports of suicide bombings and the deaths of civilians.
"I don't think the president's speech will be that definitive because it's still just a horrible situation over there," Butler said. "He will say that he's fulfilled a campaign promise by ending the combat phase," he said of Obama.
"But in reality," Butler said, "the mission is not really finished, or we don't know that it's finished. What will America's role be with 50,000 soldiers still in the country? We don't really know."
Leslie Caron is the mother of a U.S. Air Force staff sergeant, Mark Caron, who has served seven tours in Mideast countries supporting the Iraq War as a flight crew equipment manager. She gained prominence in veterans' circles in Connecticut after leading a spirited fight over the right to hang yellow ribbons on trees on the Litchfield Green. She is sharply critical of the Obama administration's policy of establishing deadlines for U.S. troops leaving both Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Putting a deadline on when we pull out our troops just invites the insurgents to wait and then attempt to take over the country after the last U.S. troops leave," Caron said. "It's a big mistake, and now Obama is planning on doing the same thing in Afghanistan.
"After all the sacrifices made by soldiers and their families over there, you can't just put a timeline on us leaving," Caron said. " George Bush said that the war on terror was going to take years and years, and he was right about that."
But Hawley feels that the U.S. military has learned at least one important lesson from Iraq and Afghanistan. Pentagon leaders, he said, are finally paying more attention to the impact of wars on the emotional lives of soldiers and are at least trying to put programs in place that address issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder and the effect of long deployments on soldiers' families.
"We've certainly learned that it's not a good idea to stretch the military so thin, and to give soldiers more time off between deployments," Hawley said.
"And the government is doing a better job now dealing with issues like PTSD. But as long as we're fighting wars, that kind of problem will always be there."

Do you care about climate change? Do you think you have a role to play in helping to reduce carbon emissions? Would you make small changes if you knew they would make a difference? What's stopping you?
I've been thinking a lot about these sorts of questions recently, not least because I'm now working on an exciting and important piece of work looking at behaviour change for climate change. In doing so, my imagination has been particularly captured by the work of Elizabeth Shove (rhymes with cove not love). Professor Shove's work has looked particularly at changing social practices and the implications of these for energy demand and climate change.
Her seminal paper on conventions of Comfort, Cleanliness and Convenience had quite an effect on me. In the paper, Shove talks about the changing dynamics of social practices and conventions in relation to, amongst other things, personal cleanliness. It has become normal – expected, even – in the Western world, to shower (or bathe) on a daily basis.
This is a relatively new development – Shove notes that it was less than a century ago that a weekly bath was the norm. But the social practice has very much taken hold, and the idea of showering any less than every day is largely unpalatable.
I recently discovered the extent to which people are repelled by the idea of less-than-daily-showering when I told some friends about my decision to halve the number of showers I take. My decision to do this was a direct response to reading Shove's work, which made me see that I have succumbed, almost blindly, to participating in a social practice, for no good reason other than convention.
I recently discovered the extent to which people are repelled by the idea of less-than-daily-showering when I told some friends about my decision to halve the number of showers I take.
Like many people, I'm someone who is, in general terms, quite concerned about the climate change problem. I recognise that my actions contribute to over-consumption and that my behaviour results in a carbon footprint. I'd like to do more than I currently do to make a positive difference, but it isn't always clear to me what I should do.
Showering less frequently appealed to me because it is such an obvious way to reduce the energy I use in heating water, as well as the amount of water I consume, without having a terribly negative impact on my life. So, for the past three months, I've been having a shower roughly every other day.
It was remarkably easy to make the change, and I haven't felt uncomfortable, unclean or self-conscious. No one has said anything to me about me looking or smelling any worse than usual, so all in all I'd say the experiment has been a success, and I've (possibly) permanently shifted my habit.
Great, I thought, this is an easy thing that everyone could do: I'd better tell people about it. I did not expect my friends to react in the way they did. Comments included, "Don't you feel disgusting?" "I can't believe you went out for a meal without having had a shower – that's so disrespectful to your friend." "There's no way I could do that, I'd be so embarrassed." "Isn't that a bit extreme?" Other reactions were more supportive, but, to my surprise, no one I spoke to was keen to give it a try. Even a friend who works as the sustainability manager for a higher education institution couldn't imagine "feeling right" without having a shower in the morning.
I really was surprised by this – although I knew the social practices associated with cleanliness are embedded in our society, I somehow didn't expect to find such deep attachment to them. Am I an extremist for showering less-than-daily? Is it really disrespectful to socialise without having showered? And more importantly, if social practices can become so widespread and so deeply ingrained within a generation, surely they can also be moderated or even reversed. What do you think - would you shower less to save the planet?

Guys don't like getting knocked out in front of huge PPV audiences, so they just put up their gloves and wait for the storm to blow over, collecting their pay checks and take the loss. That's what makes it even more special when it does happen. More

A 49-year-old woman from Hakalau was killed Saturday (February 9) from injuries she received in a two-vehicle crash on Akoni Pule Highway at the 17-mile-marker in the North Kohala District.
The woman was identified as Theresa Doris Pacheco, of a Hakalau address.
Responding to a 2:56 p.m. call, North Kohala patrol officers determined that Pacheco was operating a 2003 Hyundai two door sedan and traveling south on Akoni Pule Highway when she came upon a 2013 Ford four door sedan also traveling south.
Pacheco swerved to the right to avoid a rear-end collision but sideswiped the rear right corner of the Ford.
The Hyundai then ran off the right side of the roadway and overturned. Pacheco was wearing a seat-belt but was partially ejected.
The driver of the Ford, a 62-year-old man from Atlanta, Georgia was not injured.
Pacheco was transported to the Kona Community Hospital where she was pronounced dead at 8:11 p.m.
It is unknown at this time if alcohol or drugs were involved but speed was a factor in this crash.
Traffic Enforcement Unit officers have initiated a negligent homicide investigation and have ordered an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to call Officer Larry Flowers at 326-4646, extension 229.
This is the 8th traffic fatality on the Big Island this year compared to one at the same time last year.

Study Strengthens Rosacea, Mites Link
A study in Mexico found further evidence of a potential relationship between a microscopic parasite and rosacea. Several studies have shown that Demodex mites, which are present on the facial skin of all humans, occur in much greater numbers on the faces of people with rosacea.
The new study,1 conducted at Mexico's General Hospital in Mexico City, found much higher numbers of Demodex mites in biopsies of the skin of patients with rosacea than in people with normal skin. The researchers noted that the results are particularly useful because the patients in the study were mestizo – people of combined European and indigenous heritage – whereas most studies have primarily included subjects of European descent.
It's not yet clear whether their increased presence is a cause or a result of the redness, bumps and pimples of subtype 2 (papulopustular) rosacea. However, evidence appears to be mounting that an overabundance of Demodex may possibly be triggering an immune response in people with rosacea, or that the inflammation may be caused by certain bacteria associated with the mites.

Our Mission
The National Rosacea Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to improve the lives of people with rosacea by raising awareness, providing public health information and supporting medical research on this widespread but little-known disorder. The information the Society provides should not be considered medical advice, nor is it intended to replace
consultation with a qualified physician. The Society does not evaluate, endorse or recommend any particular medications, products, equipment or treatments. Rosacea may vary substantially from one patient to another, and treatment must be tailored by a physician for each individual case. For more information, visit About Us.

Pet Fish
By: Sent in by Ron Koenig
A man from Churchill was stopped by the game-warden recently with a bucket of nice Trout leaving the public landing near the Intercoastal.
The game warden asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch those fish?"
The man replied to the game warden, "No, sir. These are my pet fish."
"Pet fish?!" the warden replied.
"Yes, sir. Every night I take these here fish down to the lake and let them swim around for a while. I whistle and they jump back into their bucket, and I take em home."
"That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!"
The man looked at the game warden for a moment, and then said, "Here, I'll show you. It really works."
"O.K. I've GOT to see this!." The game warden was curious now.
The man poured the fish in to the lake and stood and waited.
After several minutes, the game warden turned to the man and said, "Well."
"Well, What?" the man responded.
"When are you going to call them back?" The game warden prompted.
"Call who back?" The man asked.
"The FISH."
"What fish?" The man asked.

Global Health Center (GHC) Pilot GrantsIn order to promote global health research, education and treatment activities among Einstein faculty, the GHC has initiated an annual pilot grants program. This already popular program is intended as a seed investment in attracting larger funding resources to Einstein for global health projects. For information about the GHC Pilot Grants Program, please contact email@example.com.
Click here for current Pilot Grant RFA
The Einstein Global Health Center Microgrant ProgramAims to provide small grants to help jumpstart faculty members' global health efforts. It is expected that the microgrants will lead to creation of new global health initiatives or further leveraging of existing initiatives. Applicants may submit requests for microgrants for up to $2,000. Applications should be no more than 2 pages in length, and should explain how the funds will be used to create or strengthen their global health initiatives.
Grants are handled on a rolling funding basis: Click here for current Microgrant application
All Global Health Center awarded grants: Click here
Center for AIDS Research (CFAR) Pilot GrantsA key goal of the Einstein-Montefiore CFAR is to support collaborative, translational HIV/AIDS research at Einstein and Montefiore by funding pilot projects that support the following types of research activities: (i) Initiation of new HIV/AIDS research by junior investigators and non-AIDS investigators; (ii) Novel and Emerging research opportunities among CFAR members and (iii) Collaborative research between basic and clinical investigators or HIV/AIDS and non-HIV/AIDS investigators. In accordance with these goals, we invite all faculty at Einstein and Montefiore (both new and established investigators) to respond to periodic RFAs that are circulated throughout Einstein and Montefiore and they can be in one of the following three categories: Investigators New to AIDS Research (Developmental & Pilot grants); Feasibility Studies (Pilot grants); Evolving Research Opportunities (Pilot grants). Each year, 4-5 awards are made in the range of $25,000 to $37,500, which includes $5,000 for the use of a CFAR scientific core or the Clinical core. For the latest RFA, please see the front page of CFAR Developmental core. Please see the list of the applications that were selected for funding based on peer review.

Kunle necesitaba un nuevo diseño de camiseta y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 169 diseños de 48 diseñadores freelance.
The brand is a combination of letters and words.
ONE 9JA. Although we are looking primarily for a brand that will look good on a tshirt. I need you to think much bigger, think about the brand on billboards, on the side of buses, gyms, tv shows etc. It needs to really be memorable / iconic.
So the logo should be a combination of two elements:
1. the word "ONE"
2. "9JA" - this bit is easy it should look exactly like how it is written here http://www.etisalat.com.ng/images/promo promobox-9javaganza.jpg
Now since the 2nd part is taken care of "9JA", let's talk about the "ONE"
The "ONE" must be pretty special. It must be as iconic as something like apple's half eated apple.
It must be able to stand out on its own but still work well with the second part (9JA) of the logo. It should also be easily combined with other brands or words...e.g. "The "ONE" Way", "ONE" TV, "ONE" Love...you get the point....It must be easily extendable.
The thinking behind the "ONE" is that you are the chosen one. The individual that is special and will be treated as such with tailored services and targeted messages.
As a creative start I want you to think about maybe using the "O" to communicate the essense of the individual being key... an O with a "man" in the center. If you are going to use a figure of a man or a person, use the man figure in the header of this website - http://www.naijaconnects.com.
How this is a little clearer. I am looking for something really simple but special here. A classic.
Please feel free to suggest the use of various types of "media" in relation to the transfers on the tshirts (such as badges, embroidery, metallic colors and print as it is the vogue now)
*There are 2 key items we are looking for here:
1. An iconic logo "One9Ja" illustrated on a unisex tshirt
2. A unique packaging idea for the t-shirt. Recipents must not be able to easily guess what is in package, but it should lure them into finding out. As a theme, think of "treasure hunt", "money bags", "Golden envelopes" etc. As this is a youthful brand primarily targeted at the mobile generation, you could also look into mobile phone and communication themes, but not really hot on that on less it is a very strong idea.
- Unoriginal ideas
- template ideas.

Jordan Bimm from Toronto's most-read weekly magazine, NOW!, recently caught THE NUN'S VACATION and gave us 4 N's out of a possible 5…
The cast is uniformly good, with Matthews standing out as funny and downright scary, and together all three make us believe in the lust and violence between every combination of characters possible.
You hear that? It's the sound of me blushing.

Sonia Borkar from Mooney On Theatre also caught the play and had this to say…
For me, Glen Matthews stole the show. Talk about an outstanding performance. He blew me away with his rage and passion.

This is easily one of my favourite characters I've ever had the pleasure of playing and I'm so happy that he seems to be striking a cord (one way or another) with the audiences.
The play is only running until April 8th, so if you're in Toronto, I hope you can make it out and catch the show. It's something that we're all very proud of and want to show to as many people as possible.
