I had been wanting this perfume for quite some time. I've read many reviews about it and, even without smelling it, I wanted to try it. I SO love it when I'm right!
I love this perfume! I like spicy/oriental with a little musky earthiness to my perfumes, and I want them to last. This one is all that and more. I have been wearing Red Door for quite some time, and like it just fine, but wanted a little more "umph" to my fragrance. If you've ever smelled traditional Indian incense, Red Door reminds me of Sri Sai Flora fluxo incense...flowery and spicy. I wanted that with a more earthy tone to it with actual pheromones, and Pheromone is exactly that. It does have a "musky" and "powdery" note to it, which softens it and gives it that romantic scent. My boyfriend absolutely loves it on me. (I didn't tell him that it has actual pheromones in it. My secret.)
I will say that a little bit of this goes a long way. I almost wish I could dab it on with my finger, rather than spray it. So spray lightly, ladies, because this one will overpower you if you use too much. The first time I used it, I was overwhelmed. That just means that this is really GOOD quality perfume. So now I spray one wrist, rub my wrists together, then rub them on my neck and chest. That's ALL that's needed...and it lasts for hours.
Pheromone does change as it mixes with your body chemistry. When I first put it on, it initially smelled like a man's cologne to me, but changed within a minute or so to a more feminine scent. I would venture to say that it smells just a bit different on each person that wears it. So, you need to be familiar with your own body chemistry to know if it would be right for you. It was definitely right for me, and I will be ordering more when this runs low.
I lucked out and got a tester for a ridiculously low price here at FragranceX, and another tester bottle of Red Door for half the price that I paid for it on another site. Between the 2 purchases, I've got enough perfume to last me for about 1.5 to 2 years (I still had a little over half a tester bottle of Red Door left, but couldn't pass up the price here.).
When I think about all the money I've spent on cheaper fragrances at drug stores and department stores, I know that I'm coming WAY out ahead in the long run on the expense of buying my personal scents...my estimate is about a $100 to $150 a year in savings. :-) With a scent like Pheromone, you can definitely make that happen, too.
FragranceX, PLEASE don't ever stop providing this product!

I'm not sure what has happened to this fragrance but it's no longer the fragrance my wife has been wearing for many years. Additionally, the scent that is there fades to nothing in less than two hours. Prior to this change, Pheromone Perfume was my wife's favorite fragrance and she has been using it as nearly an exclusive fragrance for about 15 years. I've purchased this for my wife every year for Mother's Day and my purchase this year was such a disappointment to my wife that she gave the perfume away.
I'm assuming that the change in the fragrance is in no way a reflection on FrangranceX...but is a reflection on the maker of this once favorite perfume.

(AP) - When emergency dispatchers in Nebraska's Sarpy County picked up a recent call, all they heard were the sounds of breathing and scratching.Dispatchers were worried - until they learned the noises were coming from a dog who dialed 911.Sarpy County 911 Assistant Director Marilyn Gable tells Omaha television station KETV that it's the first time a dog has called the emergency center.The dog's owner, Melissa Acosta, says she thought her 2-pound Japanese Chin, Sophie, was trying to curl up next to her on the couch, when she realized Sophie was scratching at Acosta's smartphone with her paw.Then Acosta heard a voice from the phone asking for an "address of the emergency."Acosta says the whole thing is "a little embarrassing." Sophie, of course, had no comment.© 2014 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.

Hitting your personal debt ceiling?
Just like the government, consumers have depended too much on borrowing and debt. Here's how to balance your personal budget.
This post comes from Joe Montat partner site MainStreet.
While we chide government officials for how they have handled the nation's debt ceiling, many Americans are guilty of similar problems and have the opportunity to learn from Washington's mistakes.
Households and governments both, generally speaking, spend too much, rely too heavily on borrowing and need to strike a balance between incoming and outgoing money. According to Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards consumer advocate Eleanor Blayney, the issues that elected officials must tackle to get public finances into shape are "distressingly similar to those faced by indebted consumers."
"The total amount of debt outstanding for American consumers -- and that takes into account mortgages as well as revolving debt, auto loans and so forth -- is up there in the double-digit trillions as well," Blayney says. "We've got debt on all sides of us. Our government owes money, and we owe money. We are a nation of debtors."
As people look critically at Washington, "we are looking in the mirror and seeing ourselves," she adds.
All that debt leads to poor financial choices.
"When you get to the point where you are prioritizing the bills, having to make choices about what to pay, you know that you are in real trouble," Blayney says. "Even if we pay the minimum payment on time to allow us to pay our other bills, we are paying interest charges that are accruing. People are having to pay 18% or more for not being able to pay their bills on time." (What if I make extra payments?) Post continues after video.
Blayley offers five suggestions to rein in overspending and borrowing that can relate to people as well as to government:
Set a reasonable budget. "Our leaders are in a wrestling match about budgeting, but most consumers, I would say, do not have good budgets," Blayney says. "It really does take some hard looking at."
While politicians argue over discretionary and nondiscretionary spending -- and what budgets should or should not be cut -- households face the same debate. "One person's 'want' is another person's 'need,'" Blayney says. "You really have to look at your budget and be scrupulously honest in terms of what are wants and what are needs."
For a personal budget, expenses need to be in sync with earnings.
"It may mean downsizing, it may mean selling, or a number of things," Blayney says. "The point is that we all need budgets. We all need balanced budgets. The answer always lies in balance."
Pointing out that the best, most rational decisions are seldom made in times of crisis or up against a deadline, she says a budget needs to provide for building savings and an "emergency" fund for a job loss or other financial calamity.
Keep the costs and benefits of borrowing in the same period. Whether it's a night out on the town or keeping the lights on in federal offices, long-term debt should never be used to pay for things you enjoy or use today. These costs should be paid in full now, not carried forward into next month or a future election cycle.
Good credit is more than just the ability to borrow money. "Credit has become synonymous with trustworthiness," Blayney says.
Without good credit, it's difficult to get a job, rent an apartment or maintain status as a dependable trading partner or global economic power. (Estimate your credit scores for free.)
Manage the loopholes. There is a lot of fine print to take into account, whether in the tax code or your credit card agreements.
"We cannot keep our focus on just the going 'rates' when it comes to our debt. The special situations matter, too," Blayney says. "For Congress, this requires careful examination of all the special deductions and allowances that limit our tax revenues. For consumers, it requires understanding all the hidden fees involved in using credit."
Take a multitiered approach to debt control. The debate on Capitol Hill notwithstanding, there is no single solution to ongoing deficits. More revenue and less spending both need to be considered.
For consumers, reducing debt effectively may require several simultaneous strategies: managing income, investments, taxes and spending, as well as revising overall financial goals.
Blayney adds that everyone should be mindful of how a resolution to the debt ceiling debate -- and long-term policy moves -- might affect them.
"What they decide at the macro level could have a troubling impact on how we manage our own finances, especially if interest rates skyrocket for mortgages, credit cards and other forms of business and personal credit," she says. "The American government is not too big to fail, and the American consumer is not too small to listen."
More on MainStreet and MSN Money:
Seems to me there ONE big difference here......the FEDS have NO money of their own, therefore easy to spend OPM, raise the debt ceiling, etc.....everyone else.....support the FEDS, support the freeloaders, support everything else they can come up to spend MY money.....yet at the end of the day.....I'm held responsible for my actions and the FEDS are not! There are many instruments in place that lower ones debit ceiling without them even knowing, you can't buy more house than you can afford,( at least not these days ), you can't get a loan for more than the bank feels you can pay back, you can't have a unlimited credit line on your credit card, you can't go on a wild spending spree and NOT pay for the outcome. Sorry, Joe Mont, MOST folks do know their debt ceiling has been lowered and lowered and lowered!
It is rediculous what our government has done with our money, and it is true that some people do the same thing...borrow from Peter to pay Paul, as my parents have put it.
I knew that school was expensive, so I worked in the summers while in high school to help pay for it ahead of time. I also got a full time job while going to school full time once I went to college. I paid for almost all my tuition on my own, while my parents helped out for basic necessities once in awhile. Once out at 21, I had saved enough to put a small ($1,000) down payment on a condo. I realized that this small amount would be fine to buy a small place I could actually afford in the future, instead of spending more than was wise. I also knew that a mortgage is cheaper than rent....so I saved for the future rather than party and waste all my money on 'now' like everyone around me. I still live in my 500 sq. ft. condo, 7 yrs. later, with my new husband. I love having a low cost to pay for my mortgage, which is about 1/2 what rent is around town.
This is not to chastise everyone, but I just get tired of hearing how people are going under on their mortgages, for a giant house with more rooms than people and no planning for the future. Our government is doing the same thing, and I'm very tired of the excuses. I also try to save for emergencies, and it saves my butt every time. I've been laid off multiple times in the bad economy. I was hired as the new guy, then oops, that company goes out of business and I'm at the bottom of the totem pole, so I get laid off first, and then the new guy again, and then oops, at the bottom still at the next new company so again out the door. I plan for this, and know that eventually the economy will grow again, but it's hard to not frown at the government not taking care of its own, while dishing out billions of dollars to other countries while our own people are starving...it's called International PR and everyone can see that.
The best 'get out of debt' advise I can give is to pay off the small ones first, then use the money you were paying on those small debts to add to the next biggest bill, and when that is paid off, take all that to add to the original payment of the next biggest bill after that, and so on and so on. Eventually, it's like a snow ball, and the debt is repaid quite quickly.
Just because "many Americans" have trouble with debt doesn't mean all or even most (at least I hope not).
I have a lot of school debt from college loans (Unlike KJ01983, I was not allowed to work in high school, both for safety reasons-I couldn't drive and their were no sidewalks- and because my father was forced to work 3 jobs in high school to help support his family and his grades suffered so he had us focus on school not work) and though I tried to find summer jobs while in college I lived in a rural area that would not higher people w/o licenses. So, I had to use student loans to pay for my education.
However, I make my loan payments on time every month (and most of the time I pay over the minimum due). Also, this is my only "debt" I do not have credit cards or frivolous loans. I live within my means. I make a budget based on my income and stick to it. If I don't have the money to afford something, then I don't get that. I don't spend money wastefully or go out clubbing. Though I make less than my education would indicate, because of the economy, I'm still taking care of myself. Instead of looking for handouts, credit cards or assistance to get by I took a lower paying job, because it was the best available, and live within the means it provides. I am working on paying off my loans and building savings so I can afford to go on to graduate school and get a better job.
Personally, I don't see how the government can't do something as simple as pass a budget and stick to it based on their income, instead of overspending and raising the debt ceiling. I can't understand how the members of congress and the other government officials, don't get this concept. Supposedly, they are educated individuals, but they can't seem to even do their jobs. Of course that doesn't stop them from raising their pay or collecting other perks of the job. Maybe we wouldn't be in so much debt if a congressman didn't get paid 164k to not do his job.

Lindley's big plays made a big difference in upset
By C.L. Brown
The Courier-Journal
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- University of Kentucky cornerback Trevard Lindley's two big second-half plays were probably overlooked by many spectators during the drama of a three-overtime victory last night.
But the way UK linebacker Braxton Kelley sees things, the No. 17 Wildcats wouldn't have pulled off their shocking 43-37 upset of No. 1 Louisiana State without a key tackle and an interception by Lindley.
LSU faced a third-and-14 from its 27 on the final play of the third quarter. Tigers quarterback Matt Flynn threw a screen pass in the flat to running back Jacob Hester.
The only thing separating Hester from a first down -- at the least -- and a 20-plus-yard gain were Lindley and a lineman.
--Full Story--
Cats make their own miracles after long wait
LEXINGTON, Ky. This time the Kentucky-Louisiana State game did not end on a miracle tipped pass. This time it ended with a miraculously smothering tackle.
This time Kentucky did not disappear when it slipped behind Louisiana State by two touchdowns. This time Kentucky reacted by staying directly in LSU's mug.
This time the Commonwealth Stadium fireworks did not go off prematurely. This time the fireworks signaled that thanks to coach Rich Brooks' gritty group of football players, America is officially looking for a new No. 1 football team and needs to welcome UK back into the Top 10.
The past no longer defines this University of Kentucky team. The glowing Commonwealth Stadium scoreboard defines this UK football team:
--Full Story--
Matthew Zemek
LSU's national championship hopes are in doubt this evening, but no one's questioning the credentials of the Kentucky Wildcats anymore.
After a bowl victory last December, followed by a solid start to the 2007 season, the Wildcats had become a nice feel-good story under coach Rich Brooks and quarterback Andre Woodson. Big Blue cracked the top 25, gained a boatload of national publicity, and shed its longtime pansy status in the Southeastern Conference. That kind of resurgence especially at a basketball school qualifies as a substantial accomplishment in its own right.
For all of the 'Cats' conquests, however, the lads in Lexington had not yet made the death-defying leap that most college football outfits fail to make: the abyss-crossing, perception-shattering, barrier-busting step of vaulting from "nice feel-good story" status to "elite team, period." The distance between 8-4 and 10-2 in the college football world is not akin to a city block; it's more like the Grand Canyon.
Many teams will register "nice, feel-good" seasons on a consistent basis and be satisfied. Those who aspire to be elite, however, must possess enormous hungers not belonging to most mortals, for it is only from uncommon resolve that special accomplishments are forged. It is only from otherworldly levels of commitment that elite teams are born.
--Full Story__
Kentucky Head Coach Rich Brooks
Opening statements
Micah Johnson hurt his shoulder in the first half and we had to take him out on that last stop that we had. I think Braxton (Kelley) actually made the tackle on that fourth down play. Micahs shoulders not real good. Tony Dixons hip flared up again. Andre Woodson took a shot on the touchdown pass in the ribs.
On the win
I just cant say enough about these young men. Whenever it starts to look dark, thats when they dig down and find something extra. They did it again tonight. They did it in first half, did it after LSU went up by 13 in the third quarter and they certainly did it in the overtime. I cant say enough about our defense and the way they stepped up in the overtime. The way we stayed with their receivers, covered them and rushed the passer. Im so very, very proud of this football team. Obviously this is a very, very significant win to go to 2-1 in the league. Weve got another difficult game with Florida coming up here. Well take a little time Im sure to heal up some of our bumps and bruises, but we look forward to getting this place rocking again. I want to thank the fans for sticking with us in that game and making a lot of noise and being a factor. It looks like Mitch will have to pay another fine. I guess thats become a little bit of a habit.
On the play of his team
The guts and the backbone and the character to keep coming back when things didnt look good, particularly in the third quarter when they came out and got up by 15. They were going through us and we werent doing much. All of a sudden, we come back and start making plays. I cant say enough about the guts and the character of this football team. That was a heck of a football team we beat out there tonight. Youre probably not going to get a much better game than that and it ended in our favor so our fans could enjoy it. Maybe thats payback for the one that got away.
Im just a lucky guy to be coaching a special group of young men that have really battled through more than you can imagine to get to this point.
With top-ranked Louisiana State visiting on a sun-splashed day that saw the bourbon bottles being tipped in the parking lot long before kickoff, the Wildcats had the perfect setting for a once-in-a-generation upset.
And as dusk and then darkness settled on Commonwealth Stadium on Saturday night and the overtimes kept piling up, that idyllic setting turned into a stunning reality. A season filled with epic upsets and fantastic finishes got an indelible addition, as No. 17 Kentucky toppled top-ranked L.S.U., 43-37, in three overtimes.
The Wildcats may have pulled off the seasons most important upset, landing the them in the same elite company as upstarts Appalachian State and Stanford after their victories over Michigan and Southern California.

text: GREEN BAY, WI (WHBL) - Media reports say Green Bay Packers' receiver Randall Cobb will miss 6 to 8 weeks with a broken fibula suffered on a low tackle below his right knee. Coach Mike McCarthy would only say that Cobb is out multiple weeks. Reports also said Packers' receiver James Jones sprained a P-C-L knee ligament, and there's a chance he could play in Green Bay's next game on Sunday at home against Cleveland. For now, the Packers only have two healthy receivers -- Jordy Nelson and second-year pro Jarrett Boykin. The team is said to be looking at several options to add a receiver -- like promoting Myles White from the practice squad, bringing back rookie Tyrone Walker, or considering an available veteran such as Brandon Lloyd. On Monday the Packers' returned receiver Reggie Dunn to the practice squad. Meanwhile, the Packers got thinner at outside linebacker after Nick Perry reportedly broke a foot in Sunday's win over the Ravens. Media reports say Perry could miss 4 to 6 weeks. Coach McCarthy said he was surprised to learn the extent of that injury.

FOX 5 Storm Team chief meteorologist Ken Cook joined Pike Nurseries assistant manager Melodie McDanal with some great tips on choosing, planting and taking care of your vegetables!Getting Your Vegetable Bed Ready to PlantLocation:All vegetables, fruit and herbs need an area that receives full sun.SoilVegetables, fruit and herbs all need a good nutrient, rich soil to thrive. If planting in the ground you must amend our dense red clay. Amending the soil helps to break it up so roots can grow more easily and provides better drainage.If planting in a new area you'll want to till the area and mix in thirds:1. Native Soil2. Foothills Compost really breaks up the soil.
Garden SoilIf the area has been used before, mix the native soil at a 50/50 ratio with Pike Vegetable & Flower Mix. If planting in pots use a potting mix.How to PlantThe general rule of thumb is to dig a hole 2 times the height and width of the pot the plant is in. Using the native soil that is mixed at a 50/50 ratio with Pike Planting Mix, put enough soil back into the hole so that the bottom of the hole is about the height of the pot. Next, place a handful of a plant starter fertilizer in the hole. Remove the plant from the plastic pot and place it in the center of the hole. Use the remaining soil mixture to fill in around the plant. Sprinkle another handful of plant starter around the plant. Tap around the plant to condense the soil a bit to remove air pockets.

Be sure to put a cage on your tomato plants to ensure you're tomatoes won't be sitting on the ground. If planting in a pot use a very large pot since tomatoes have an extensive root system.PeppersYou can choose from bell type peppers, banana peppers or spicy jalapeño peppers great for home-made salsa.Zucchini & SquashThese are vining vegetable. If you have enough space grow in the garden. If you're short on space grow them vertically by training them on a stake.BerriesBlueberries are great to add into your landscape for year-round interest.NEW 'Jelly Bean' BlueberryIt is a very sweet berry, tastes like jellyNEW 'Peach Sorbet' BlueberryThey are wonderful berries but gets its name for its foliage color in fallHerbsPlenty of options!

You want to keep the soil slightly moist to the touch. Fertilize your vegetables and herbs. Use a good organic fertilizer like EB Stone Tomato & Vegetable Food. It provides plant with added nutrients.

Dr. Sara L. Edwards's Ratings
Dr. Edwards is patient, thorough, very nice and extremely knowledgeable. She quickly diagnosed what had been misdiagnosed by another doctor. The x-ray confirmed it. I wish I'd gone to see her sooner! She and the other doctors in the group always seem to run behind, but that may be because they spend a lot of time with each patient and don't rush. The office staff need to keep their voices down so the folks in the waiting room aren't subjected to their chatting. I've recommended Dr. Edwards to friends and would defintely go back.

Thanksgiving is, perhaps, the most tradition-bound of holidays. Many of us, for example, had a fairly good idea in, say, the year 2002 what we'd be eating on the fourth Thursday in November 2012. And if the culinary exigencies of this holiday are stressful for the cook, well, that's tradition, too.
It's time to mess with the stress and take a tip (or two) from Ina Garten, aka "The Barefoot Contessa." In her new book, "Barefoot Contessa Foolproof: Recipes You Can Trust" (Clarkson Potter, 2012), Garten describes a "foolproof" recipe as one that not only works ("that goes without saying") but also results in "a dish that's deeply satisfying to eat." Her chapter on a "Foolproof Thanksgiving" offers a number of tips, including:
Go ahead, mess with the stress. Consider it the beginning of a new tradition.
Yield: 4 servings
Note: Haricots vert are thin, tender green beans and are worth seeking out (and paying for). You can substitute regular (fatter) green beans. Cook them at least 2 minutes longer.
Recipe slightly adapted and
reprinted from: "Barefoot Contessa Foolproof" by Ina Garten (Clarkson Potter, 2012)
1 pound French green beans (haricots vert), trimmed
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest (from 2 lemons)
3 tablespoons minced fresh flatleaf parsley
3 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
2� tablespoons good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fill a bowl with water and ice. Add beans to the boiling water and blanch 2 to 3 minutes, until tender but still crisp. Drain beans in a colander and immediately put them in the ice-water bath to stop the cooking and preserve their bright green color.
Toss together garlic, lemon zest, parsley, parmesan and pine nuts in a small bowl and set aside.
When ready to serve, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Drain beans and pat dry. Add beans to skillet and saute, turning frequently, 2 minutes, until coated with oil and heated through. Remove from heat, add gremolata and toss well. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.
Note: You can make this several hours in advance. Reheat in a heat-proof bowl set over a pot of simmering water.
Recipe slightly adapted and
reprinted from: "Barefoot Contessa Foolproof" by Ina Garten (Clarkson Potter, 2012)
3 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
� cup half-and-half
1� teaspoons grated orange zest
� cup freshly squeezed orange juice
� teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
12 tablespoons (1� sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
Place a steamer insert or mesh colander in a large pot and add enough water to reach the bottom of the steamer. Place sweet potato chunks in the steamer and bring water to a boil. Cover the pot, lower heat and cook over simmering water about 25 minutes, until very tender. Check occasionally to be sure the water doesn't boil away.
Transfer sweet potatoes to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. With the mixer on low, slowly add half-and-half, orange zest, orange juice, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper. Add butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until incorporated. Taste for seasonings and adjust if desired. Mix until smooth. Serve hot.

John O'Korn threw for 201 yards and a touchdown and rushed for another touchdown, and the St. Thomas defense limited Plantation to 86 yards of offense, created a pair of safeties and a short field for much of the game as the Raiders blasted Plantation 38-7 in the Region 4-7A semifinals at St. Thomas on Friday night.
The Raiders will host Boyd Anderson, a 6-3 winner of Palm Beach Gardens Dwyer, Friday in the regional final.
"I think the defense the last five weeks has played really, really good football," St. Thomas coach Rocco Casullo said. "They are taking pride in their defense right now. All 11 guys are doing what they are supposed to do, and when you do that, good things happen."
The Raiders, who beat Plantation 24-20 in the regular season, left no doubt in this one. The Raiders forced a Chris Lammons' fumble at the Plantation 14-yard line on the first possession of the game that James Crawford scooped up and returned to the Plantation 1-yard line. Fred Coppet scored on the next play for a 7-0 lead.
After forcing a three-and-out on the next possession, O'Korn found Mark Barr two plays later for a 48-yard touchdown pass and a 14-0 lead. Then Aquinas picked up a safety when Plantation was attempting a punt and the snap sailed over the punter's head. A 7-yard touchdown run by Coppet on the ensuing possession made it 23-0 five seconds in to the second quarter, and a sack by Joey Bosa of Lammons upped it to 25-0 just over a minute later. The rout was on.
The only highlight for the Colonels was a Sojourn Shelton 55-yard punt return for touchdown just before the end of the first half which cut the deficit to 28-7. But Aquinas scored 10 more points in the third for the final score.
The game was intense though even in a rout as a lot of chatter between the teams was going back and forth throughout. The question for the Raiders though is if Bosa will be eligible to play next week against Boyd Anderson.
Bosa appeared to be ejected for a flagrant personal foul in the fourth quarter, but the referee never used the ejection sign even though the referee said Bosa was ejected. Casullo didn't know if Bosa had been ejected because of the lack clarity in the explanation from the referee, but did say that if Bosa was ejected it would be appealed.
With 1:52 to play in the third quarter, the game was halted for about 20 minutes due to a potential neck injury to Plantation linebacker Ray Ciervo. He lay motionless for a few minutes, but moved his legs shortly thereafter and was always alert. However, due precautionary measures he was immobilized with a neck brace, strapped to the board and transported by ambulance to Broward General Hospital for tests.
• Region 4-7A semifinal — Boyd Anderson 6, Palm Beach Gardens Dwyer 3: With yardage so hard to accumulate for the offense (49 total), Boyd Anderson came up with the big and timely defensive plays.
The visiting Cobras squeezed out a victory over Dwyer in a Region 4-7A semifinal playoff game.
For the second postseason game in a row, Boyd Anderson (9-2) came up with the game-winner in the fourth quarter when Gregory Hankerson, who completed just 4 of 14 passes for 95 yards, found Richard Lopez wide open for a 26-yard scoring play with 5:33 remaining. Just two plays earlier, the two hooked up for a 32-yard gain to the Panthers 25.
Just a week earlier, Hankerson threw the winning TD pass against Atlantic with 5:17 left.
After that the score against Dwyer (9-3), the defense once again went to work, killing the Panthers' drive with defensive back Derrick Tindal picking off passes on consecutive possessions, including a desperation pass with time running out to draw a wild celebration from the Cobras, who earned the right to face St. Thomas Aquinas in next week's round of eight.
Offense was equally futile in the first half as the teams combined to gain 56 total yards with Dwyer leading 3-0. Peyton Shapiro connected on a 31-yard field goal with 5:20 left in the first quarter.

Kentucky State Police Stress Highway Safety During Labor Day Travel
(Frankfort, Kentucky) - As motorists take to the roads for the last holiday of the summer, the Kentucky State Police is boosting its efforts to promote travel safety and save lives. As a result, increased highway patrols and traffic safety checkpoints are planned throughout the Commonwealth during the three-day holiday period, which begins at Friday, August 29 at 6 p.m. and ends Monday, Sept. 1 at 11:59 p.m.
"Last year, 11 people died in 11 separate traffic accidents on Kentucky's roadways during the Labor Day holiday," notes KSP Commissioner Patrick N. Simpson. "Two of those fatalities involved alcohol and nine were not using safety belts. Consequently, we will continue to use all the resources at our disposal to help stop this needless loss of life."
Simpson listed several steps the agency is taking to enhance its visibility while reminding drivers to slow down and buckle up including operating all department vehicles with headlights on, utilizing all sworn officers, even those not normally assigned to highway duty, and targeting areas such as interstates and parkways, roadways leading to boat ramps and waterways and high risk locations for alcohol and speed-related crashes.
As part of its enforcement efforts, the Kentucky State Police will also be participating in Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort), a coalition of law enforcement agencies across the country who combine their efforts to deter the three key causes of highway fatalities: speeding, impaired driving and failure to use safety belts.
"Our troopers will be focusing on these violations, especially impaired driving," notes Simpson. "Kentucky has a strict, no tolerance policy regarding driving while intoxicated. Operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol level of .08 shall result in immediate arrest even for a first time offense."
Troopers will be coordinating their enforcement activities with local police and sheriff's offices as well, adds Simpson. They'll also be using video equipment and passive alcohol sensors to assist their efforts to combat alcohol-impaired driving.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety during the holiday period by reporting drivers suspected of being alcohol-impaired to the Kentucky State Police toll free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). "Just provide a vehicle description, direction of travel and a license number," says Simpson. "We'll do the rest."

Brilliant 10x over.
Yeah, it makes no sense but it sure does look cool.
I'd love to work on spot like this. I can't image working for a company w/the biggest budget and then they just payed you a lot to make 47 seconds look cool.
I tried Googling around to find the concept art…but no such luck.
Technically I think he travels at the 22 second mark, but we'll pretend it's the NBA
and just ignore it.

The Congressional Budget Office will no longer count the deficit savings from CLASS in its next budget projection, CBO chief Doug Elmendorf writes in a blog post this morning. The office "will assume that the program will not be implemented (unless there are changes in law or other actions by the Administration that would supersede Friday's announcement)," he wrote. On Friday, HHS announced that it would stop implementing the program. A March 2011 CBO update estimated that CLASS reduced the deficit by $83 billion over 10 years. On net, the Affordable Care Act will "reduce federal deficits by $210 billion over the 2012–2021 period," it concluded.

The trillion dollar budget cuts coming from Congress were a hot topic at the National Governor's Association Winter Conference.
Iowa's Governor says the state is in good shape.
"The federal government is a big mess. They are spending a trillion dollars more than they're taking in every year, and we can't wait for the federal government. We've got our financial house in order. We made the tough decisions two years ago. We're spending only 97% of revenue," said Gov. Terry Branstad, (R) Iowa.

LAS VEGAS -- New Clark County School District Superintendent Pat Skorkowsky is set to begin his first school year in the top job and he's reorganized his executive team - a move he says will bring better student achievement.
Skorkowsky sent out a news release earlier this month announcing a top-level reorganization. It seemed familiar because former Superintendent Dwight Jones sent out a very similar news release two years ago.
Will this latest reorganization make any difference for the students?
Skorkowsky said this time, his five new deputies will face new levels of accountability. In fact, count the times Skorkowsky mentions "accountability" in just one answer.
"I will be holding those people in charge of the work streams accountable and the board and the community can hold me accountable for that work," Skorkowsky said. "It is a very clear system of accountability. It's not nebulous. It's not saying, well, we want everybody literate by the end of third grade. That's a great concept. But we have to have specific targets to get there and I have to be held accountable, as well as every teacher, administrator and academic manager and the chief of student achievement. "
As if to hammer the point, the superintendent added five more mentions of accountability in our 10-minute interview.
"I think it's focusing in on accountability for me," Skorkowsky said.
Accountability faces several obstacles to creating student improvement. Unions continue to fight efforts to make it easier to fire underperforming teachers. While the legislature and the governor agreed to pay for early elementary class size reduction, high schools remain packed as ever.
"Would I love to have class size reduction at every level? You bet," Skorkowsky said. "Are we ever going to get there? I can tell you we talked about a plan back in the spring where we sat down with the administrators union, the teachers union at the beginning of the legislative session, saying, we need this, we need to bring our class sizes down. This is what it will cost, it's important that we get to that. If you want me to deliver results, I've got to have time for teachers to act with individual students."
On the theme of accountability, Skorkowsky says this will be the first full year of the district's new "Discovery Education System." It's meant to give parents constant access to their student's classroom performance.

Remembering the icons
June 26, 2009 - Jennifer Brookens
Anyone who enjoyed any sort of music in the 70s or 80s was likely affected by the news that pop legend Michael Jackson died suddenly this afternoon. Browsing online, my friends from all walks of life and all musical tastes are expressing disbelief and grief.
Sadly, this man will be remembered not only as a musician and entertainer, but also for his bizarre life... the Neverland ranch, botched plastic surgeries and "Did he or didn't he..." As the circus sideshow portion of his life became more exposed, respect for Jackson and his music declined.
So what happens now? We will likely be bombarded with more of a circus for Jackson's funeral, what caused his sudden cardiac arrest, and what will happen to the three small children he's left behind. And then what? Comedians will have to find another easy punch line, and there will be more salutes to his musical and dancing genius. (Though several artists/bands have already sampled or redone Jackson's music this decade). Most of all, Jackson will always be rememberd as the "King of Pop." Could Michael Jackson's death be the career revival that he was aiming for?
And as one collegue pointed out, does his death take away from Farrah Fawcett, who lost her long-time battle with cancer today as well. Some can also argue that we still have solidiers dying for us in wars overseas to protect us, and why aren't we fawning over their deaths as much as these celebrities?
But in any case, my sympathies go out to the family members and friends of Jackson and Fawcett. Both icons will be remembered.

"You dirty slut." When Mary Ellen was a freshman at an all-girls Catholic school, a classmate would send her that message every night. "She'd go to websites and post my picture, altered, with horns or whatever," Mary Ellen, now a junior, says. "She would use my screen name in instant message conversations so it'd look like I said all these things that I didn't say. I lost so many friends." Mary Ellen ended up hiding in the library at lunch and eventually developed ulcers and other stress-related health problems.
Molly Reddington can empathize. Last April the Milton High School sophomore's online journal revealed graphic details of sexual exploits with a random older man she met on a trip to Costa Rica ("that HORNY little bastard") as well as scathing comments from anonymous readers, like "drunken hoe." The entries appeared on LiveJournal, a popular blog-hosting site for the high school set; nearly everyone Molly knew at school could have read them. Thing is, Molly didn't write any of it. After that, "Molly was a sad person," her mother, Catherine, remembers. "She hated school, she didn't want to go. She dragged her way through the rest of the year."
Text messages. Instant messages. Online journals. E-mails after endless e-mails. Forget schoolyard thugs with bloodied fists and queen bees with scribbled notes—these are today's weapons of choice for any kid with a gripe. The Internet is the bully's new sandbox; the keyboard, the latest torture device.
Almost 80 percent of kids aged 11 to 18 say they have been exposed to gossip online, according to a survey by the educational foundation MindOh. Cyberbullying's forms are vast: cruel text messages spreading rumors and hate, fabricated instant-message conversations sent to spark fights, blogs created to vote on the "biggest whore in school." This is the world of today's kids—in particular, impressionable 9-to-14-year-olds.
Two years ago Jenna, now 12, was harassed by a former friend via IM. The girl would bombard her with streams of messages, saying, "Everyone hates you, I hate you, you have no friends," she remembers. After a week, Jenna told her mother. "She called the other girl's parents," Jenna says. "That made it worse." Jenna then approached her school's vice principal, who also talked to the bully, only deepening her wrath. This continued for a year, and then, apparently for no reason, just stopped. But Jenna still feels the effects. "School is torture. I still dread going."
Cyberbullying is an altogether different beast from its old-fashioned duke-it-out predecessor. "Offline, you face immediate consequences. Somebody knows who you are; you have to look them in the eye," says Parry Aftab, a cyberbully expert and the executive director of WiredSafety.org. Online, the wimpiest kid can be the biggest bully—an anonymous bruiser with an untraceable screen name and without the worry someone's going to sock him in the face. "Kids believe, and they're often right, that they're not accountable for what they say online if they think no one can find them," she says. Plus, it's easy to do, with much more-prolific damage. "The Internet spreads rumors like brushfire," Aftab says. Hit "send" and 33 million people on MySpace.com now think Timmy is gay.
When professor of psychology Elizabeth Englander held a conference on cyberbullying last year at Bridgewater State College, it sold out. "People were banging on the door," Englander says. "It's an enormous issue."
Englander, director of the Massachusetts Aggression Reduction Center at Bridgewater State, says people are "still trying to wrap their heads around the idea of bullying as being something that's changed from when they were kids." As things stand, she says, parents often don't "get" cyberbullying, and schools seem helpless to prevent it, even as the magnitude of the problem spirals.
After learning from some of her daughter's friends how widespread cyberbullying was at their school in Westford. Monique Trulson decided it was time to take action. She's starting the state's first chapter of WiredSafety.org's Teenangels, a program that trains kids to speak to fellow students about Internet safety. "Parents around here have no concept," she says. "With how high-tech Westford is, the lack of knowledge is amazing to me." According to her daughter's friends, cyberbullying is "an everyday thing." Kids alter IM conversations, print them out, and distribute them at school; they get together at someone's house with the sole purpose of harassing another kid by IM. One girl notorious for sending hateful messages changes her screen name so often that no one can block her. "A lot of the popular kids bully kids who aren't," explains one Westford 13-year-old.
Still, there are no state laws or district policies dealing with cyberbullying. The Attorney General's Office is working on a protocol to deal with cyberbullying, but the process is a slow one, and could take up to two school years to implement. Meanwhile, schools are left in the lurch, trying to balance the right to free speech with providing a safe environment for students. "Schools aren't allowed to do anything about cyberbullying unless they have a special provision in their [Internet] use policy," Aftab says. "Because when they do attempt to punish, unless the incident actually happened in school, they get sued and they lose."
A few schools have added provisions to their conduct policies. "We deal with cyberbullying from a counseling and a disciplinary angle," says Betty Golding, adjustment counselor at Walpole's Johnson Middle School. Cyberbullying falls under harassment, Golding says, so offenders can be reprimanded or even suspended. "If students' actions have an effect on the learning process, then we take care of it." An effect like the one reported by a Walpole student who describes how, after a classmate impersonated her to send out cruel e-mails, "it made me feel like I was nothing [and it] changed my life in that short period of time."
But Walpole is an exception. Indeed, when Molly Reddington's mother went to the administrators at Milton High the day after she found the fake online journal, they gave the kids a good talking-to—and shut down school access to LiveJournal—but didn't punish anyone.
One of the biggest problems with cyberbullying is determining jurisdiction. "If one child bullies another online, who is responsible for dealing with it?" asks Englander. "If a situation interferes with the child's ability to go to school, but doesn't happen on school property, that makes it a sticky wicket. Schools are often left feeling like, 'We don't know what we're supposed to be doing. There is no jurisdiction called cyberspace. For now, we're on our own.'"
More to the point, the victims are on their own. "Kids say when they look at a message that's been posted about how ugly and fat and stupid they are, it means something. It hurts forever," Aftab says. "It's the same as it's always been with bullying, but cyberbullying follows you everywhere. It follows you to Grandma's house when you have your cell phone on you. It comes into your house through your computer or your text-messaging device or your Xbox Live. You don't have a safe place to hide anymore."
The only solution for parents, apart from adopting new protective technologies, "is to educate children relentlessly so that when it happens the kid says, 'Aha, this is what Mom was talking about,'" says Englander. And then cross your fingers that they'll come talk to you.
"The whole mystery of what happened to Ryan unfolded on his computer after his death," says John Halligan.
Halligan's son, Ryan, was a normal New England eighth grader. Sure, he struggled a bit academically and in the schoolyard—battling some tough teachers and even tougher bullies—and spent an inordinate amount of time locked away in his room, chatting online with his friends. Still, his troubles seemed just normal, eighth-grade stuff.
Then, on October 7, 2003, Ryan Halligan committed suicide.
"I didn't understand what would have driven him to such a horrific act," his father says. He pored over Ryan's AOL account, reading three months' worth of instant-message exchanges leading up to Ryan's death. One kid had spread a rumor, through IM and chat, that Ryan was gay—leading to a "feeding frenzy" at school, according to a friend of Ryan's. Then there was the popular girl on whom Ryan had a crush. She pretended to like him, too—then passed her IM exchanges with Ryan throughout the school just to humiliate him. "She told him later that she would never want anything to do with such a loser. He told her it was girls like her that made him want to kill himself," Halligan says.
Turns out, Ryan had been thinking a lot about killing himself. Two weeks before he actually did it, Ryan wrote to another student, "Tonight's the night, I think I'm going to do it. You'll read about it in the paper tomorrow." The reply: "It's about fucking time!"
John Halligan has no doubt that cyberbullying was a huge factor in Ryan's suicide. He now works with i-Safe America, a nonprofit Internet safety foundation, to raise awareness about cyberbullying. He lobbied for a new antibullying law in his home state of Vermont, which was passed in 2004.
"You think you're doing a great job being a parent in the everyday world, and you're missing the point that you have to be a parent in cyberspace as well," he says. His family had restrictions when it came to using the computer—no secret passwords, no chatting or IM'ing with strangers—but even though Ryan followed those rules, it didn't matter.
"For kids, the computer has become their whole social network," Halligan says. "But it's also allowed all the stupid middle school backbiting and rumor-mongering to continue on in another realm"—a place where Ryan was supposed to be safe. "We were cruel to each other, too, 20 years ago, but the technology today lets kids take it to an entirely different, and scary, level."

Very good blender, crushes ice easily, cleans easy. Would buy again!
What a friggin' powerhouse this little Ninja is. I just bought another one for the office. I am hooked. We are big time juicers, love our Breville juicer, and have always used that in combination with a blender to make fresh juice smoothies. Lots of mess and cleanup there. Now comes the Ninja, which makes everything so much easier. You blend and drink out of the same container! And you get all the fiber as well. The easiest way to make sure you get your veggies and fruits every day!
The Ninja is a product everyone should have. If you love baking pies, pizza, cookies and cakes with the kids, you will love the Ninja. If you would like to stop paying store prices for natural fruit and veggie juices, you can because with the Ninja you can make your own. If you're a smoothie lover, the Ninja is for you.
This is exactly the blender I wanted - not sure why I waited so long. Love the single serve cups. Makes smoothies a breeze. I have the Ninja Kitchen system but never liked it very much - too bulky, too many parts, no single serve. It was also very picky about when it would run - if anything was the slightest bit out of alignment, it would not work. At one time I actually thought it was broken. The Pulse is different - it is simple, easy to use and has just the right number of parts. It's easy to clean and every bit as powerful. Can't believe I waited so long - get one before these are no longer available. You won't be sorry!
Powerful blending motor, but, you have to manually hold and push down on the blending cups and containers to start blending and continue to hold them down during the entre blending process. This operates similar to the old Ninja blender where it does not operate without you holding and pushing down. Too much work.
Love the blender just wish it was made a little stronger. My blender cracked and a little piece broke off (boyfriend probably dropped it). It still works though and it works great. Best blender I've had.
Easy to use and clean up, my daughter loves to make smoothies in this daily and at 11 yrs old, she can manage the product easily. Have not had a chance to use all of the attachments yet, but I am truly looking forward to using them in the near future as I am in the process of moving and can't wait to break in my new kitchen. Love Overstock pricing and fast delivery.
Another great gift. My daughter and husband are well on their way to healthy foods and drinks. They love it and use it often. No problems.
This is a very good looking blender then blends amazingly. It is a little loud, but it blend very fast. Does not take up too much room on the counter. I love the single serving cups with the lids, although I wish the lids would close completely so I could toss it in my gym back. I have not got to use the larger size very much yet. The whole thing is great quality and blends amazingly. If you want something quieter and with more than one speed look else where. Also it is no off and on switch, you have to hold it down to blend. But still a great buy!
I make a smoothie almost every morning and dislike cleaning my big blender every day. This mixes everything into a smooth ,creamy shake. I did think that it might fit by Ninja blender (hoped) but it does NOT. I wish Ninja would make products that work with one another.

Q: Often, the manufacturer coupons in the Sunday paper and some that I get online have individual store logos printed on them so that the coupon can only be used at that store. Why do manufacturers allow this? We should be able to use coupons wherever we like unless, of course, they are store coupons.
A: Believing that a manufacturer coupon must be used at the store whose logo appears on it is a common misconception among coupon users, both those who are new and even experienced couponers.
A coupon with the words "manufacturer coupon" printed on it is always a manufacturer coupon, regardless of what store's name or logo might also be printed on it. Any store that redeems the coupon will be reimbursed for it.
Why might a particular store's logo or name appear on a manufacturer coupon?
Certainly it's a suggestion as to where you could use that coupon. It's usually because the store in question has participated in a joint advertising campaign for that featured product. It's common to see coupons that say "redeemable at (store name)" but just because a coupon states it's redeemable at that store, it doesn't mean it's not redeemable elsewhere.
It's important to remember that using coupons at any store is a privilege, not a right, so it's worth checking to see if your store has any restrictions in their coupon policy for manufacturer coupons with other stores' logos on them.
A policy that states, "We accept all manufacturer coupons" is essentially your green light to know that the store will take any manufacturer coupon, even when it shows another store's logo on it.
And, don't forget about the Catalina coupons that print out at the register. Where I live, three major grocery stores compete and all three will interchangeably accept the other's Catalina coupons, regardless of logo, as long as the words "manufacturer coupon" appears on the top.
If your coupon is a store coupon (typically it will state "store coupon" or "retailer coupon" on the top) you must use it at that particular store, because it's an offer the store is making available only to their customers. A manufacturer is not involved in that coupon's redemption.
Then again, if your store also accepts competitors' coupons, the possibilities are endless!
Q: Yesterday I ran into a problem with a $2 manufacturer coupon for trail mix. When the clerk scanned it, the value appeared as $1 instead of $2. She said she couldn't do anything about that, even though I reminded her that it was a manufacturer coupon.
Could you explain why and how this happens? Is this legal? If I had settled for the $1 discount, could the store then redeem it for $2?
A: It doesn't happen too often, but what you're describing is the result of a misprint on the coupon. The coupon's text states the value as $2, but the barcode that's printed on it actually scans for $1.
It's likely the result of human error when the coupon was being designed, and the bar code for the lower dollar amount was inserted into the layout.
When it comes time for the store to redeem that coupon, it's likely the store will get $1 instead of $2, since almost all coupon redemption is done automatically via a barcode scanner, and again, the barcode is coded to give a $1 discount.
If this were a widespread practice, certainly legality would come into question, but it really doesn't happen too often.

The winners will be flown (along with a guest) to New York, NY for meetings with the mentors. Shopify will cover the flights, hotel and transportation.
Obviously we would love to have your business on Shopify. However, the spirit of this competition is to encourage new businesses to be created. Maybe you already have an idea for a new business that is only semi-related to your existing store? You should try this idea and you will be free to enter the competition with this.
If you are planning to move your existing business to Shopify as well please contact our sales team and we will be able to give you special discounts.
It's a fantastic time to move your business online. However, much like with existing online stores – see previous point – the spirit of the competition is to encourage new businesses. Moving an existing brick and mortar store online is not going to be a valid new business unless you can clearly demonstrate that you are not taking advantage of the existing offline business.
Yes, only the first $5,000 of each order will count towards the competition. We put this rule in place to stop used car sales men from sweeping the competition.
Sure thing. However, only the first $5,000 of each order counts towards the competition. Also, you can't get 100 orders placed by the same person for $5,000 each. We check for this :-)
Yes, you can sell digital goods using Shopify, it's quite easy. You can identify certain items in your store that don't require shipping addresses and/or taxation. If an order consists of only items that don't require shipping then Shopify will not ask for a shipping address during the checkout.
If it is software you are selling then we recommend you install Digital Downloads from the Shopify App Store.
Yes absolutely. In fact we highly encourage our customers to source extra products that round off the product offering. A lot of our customers started by selling just a single product and later on started cross selling related products between their stores for additional sales.
Yes. This is what we created the Shopify Platform for. The Platform is fairly similar to the Facebook platform and allows you to add all sorts of interesting capabilities to your store. You can check Shopify's API documentation or browse through existing apps at the Shopify App Store.
Yes, Shopify even integrates directly with drop shippers and fulfillment services such as Shipwire, Webgistix and Amazon fulfillment. These services are really the key to fully automate your online store because manual shipping is labor intensive. At Shopify we have something called the App Store, which allows you to add extensions to your store.
This is true, but it would be impossible for us to determine profit margins of all the participants. Since revenues are easily trackable, we use them as the measurement of success. This was the best way running the competition without making it overly complicated. Of course, all the information we track for the competition strictly complies with our privacy policy.
