Exceptionally balanced herbal citrus accord with some beautiful lemon and bergamot top notes followed by a deep earthy patchouli warmed and sweetened with rose/geranium heart.
It is perfect because it is utterly focused and to the point, yet not too simple. It wears very easily, lasts all day, lacks any offensive chemistry-set notes and is not overpowering.
Brilliant for casual or everyday formal.

I was hoping this was a re-issue of the original Aramis Tuscany that came out in the 1980's. Unfortunately, no.
First sign was the bottle itself (although I knew what I was getting when I saw it on your webpage):
the original was a black onyx-like color.
The main disappoinment is that the scent just does not last.
The original lasted all day into the night.
I guess whatever it is that gave it that long-lasting scent is too expensive.

It is a pity that the manufacturer does not make it the way that it used to be, sometimes is better selling more expensive without downgrading the quality. The smell is great, but it does not last...The thing is, I did not find yet a replacement for this fragrance that last longer and smells as good.

Kannon K. Shanmugam
Kannon Shanmugam is a partner focusing on Supreme Court and appellate litigation. He has been described as a "wunderkind" (Am Law Litigation Daily) and "rising star" (Legal Times) of the Supreme Court bar. He has argued ten cases before the Supreme Court, more than any other lawyer in the firm's history except Edward Bennett Williams. In 2009, he argued Merck & Co. v. Reynolds, which concerned the statute of limitations for private securities-fraud actions, and Hawaii v. Office of Hawaiian Affairs, which involved a challenge to an injunction barring the State of Hawaii from selling public lands held in trust for Native Hawaiians.
Mr. Shanmugam joined the firm in 2008 after serving as an Assistant to the Solicitor General in the Department of Justice. He was the first lawyer to join the firm directly as a partner for 22 years. While representing the United States before the Supreme Court, he worked on significant matters in the areas of securities, antitrust, and complex criminal litigation. He successfully argued Tellabs v. Makor Rights, which concerned the standard for pleading state of mind in a federal securities-fraud action; Weyerhaeuser v. Ross-Simmons, which involved the standard for a claim of predatory bidding under the federal antitrust laws; and Oregon v. Guzek, which concerned the type of mitigating evidence that can be used at sentencing in capital cases.
During his tenure at the Justice Department, Mr. Shanmugam was also responsible for preparing the briefs of the United States in a number of other significant Supreme Court cases, including Stoneridge Investment Partners v. Scientific-Atlanta, a case involving the availability of "scheme liability" under the federal securities laws; United States v. Atlantic Research, a case concerning the availability of actions for reimbursement of environmental cleanup costs under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act; and Arthur Andersen v. United States, an appeal by Arthur Andersen from its conviction for obstruction of justice in connection with the collapse of Enron. He received a commendation from the Justice Department's Environmental and Natural Resources Division for his work on environmental litigation.
Before joining the Justice Department, Mr. Shanmugam was an associate at the law firm of Kirkland & Ellis, where he worked on a variety of Supreme Court and appellate matters. Most notably, he was responsible for preparing the brief on behalf of Senator Mitch McConnell and other challengers to the McCain-Feingold campaign-finance law in McConnell v. FEC. He also represented the plaintiffs in Granholm v. Heald, a successful challenge to a state law prohibiting the direct shipment of wine to consumers.
Mr. Shanmugam was born in Lawrence, Kansas, the son of Indian immigrants. He grew up there and was co-valedictorian of his class at Lawrence High School. He went to Harvard at age 16, where he majored in classics and graduated summa cum laude. After being selected as a Marshall Scholar, he obtained a master's degree in classics from the University of Oxford. He then returned to Harvard Law School and graduated magna cum laude in 1998; there, he served as executive editor of the Harvard Law Review and argued the case for the winning side in the moot court competition. After law school, he served as a law clerk to Justice Antonin Scalia on the United States Supreme Court and then-Judge J. Michael Luttig on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
Earlier in 2010, Lawdragon magazine named Mr. Shanmugam one of the "500 Leading Lawyers in America." In listing him as a notable practitioner in the area of appellate litigation, Chambers USA stated that he "is recommended by clients for his fresh perspective and energetic approach" and that "peers report there's an elegance to his arguments and poise and sophistication in his presentation that is extremely impressive." The Legal 500 described him as "very capable and very quick on his feet in front of the justices" and "the total package: very smart, very personable, and very intuitive."
Mr. Shanmugam has spoken extensively on the Supreme Court and legal issues. He currently serves on the boards of trustees of the Supreme Court Historical Society, the American Inns of Court, and the Association of Marshall Scholars. He has served as secretary of the Edward Coke Appellate Inn of Court, and as a member of the executive committee of the American Bar Association's Council of Appellate Lawyers. He is a member of the firm's pro bono committee and is active in the Washington community. He currently serves on the vestry of St. Francis Episcopal Church in Great Falls, Virginia, and has worked as a volunteer teacher at Anacostia High School in Southeast Washington.


text: May 08, 2007 — Inside soundproof booths across the country, friends and loved ones are interviewing each other about their lives. The booths belong to StoryCorps, a project that collects the stories of everyday people in order to create an oral history of America. One of these mobile recording studios was in Canton last summer and among its visitors were Eleanor Rosenthal and her friend M.J. Heisey. Rosenthal lived in Nazi Germany as a child. Her father spent weeks in a concentration camp, and her family eventually immigrated to the U.S.

Last year, FCA's National Center on Caregiving responded to re-quests from all over the country from those needing help locating services for, and information about, caregiving.
Over 60% of these inquiries were directly from family caregivers. Others were from professionals looking to support their caregiving clients, or from academicians, reporters and researchers regarding legislation or caregiving needs and trends.
Many people contact FCA via the internet, with 55% e-mailing FCA with their questions. Another 42% of caregivers call FCA to talk about their situation and request assistance.
We know that caregivers are responsible for many tasks, caring for a loved being only one. They appreciate the opportunity to email questions to FCA whenever it suits their needs rather than only during business hours. "The response was quick, and you cared. Just knowing there is someone in cyberspace to talk to or ask questions is comforting," one caregiver told us.
Almost 60% of family caregivers who contact FCA are looking for resources in their local or loved one's area. 20% of caregivers are looking for financial or legal help, and another 12% are researching medical questions. Some typical inquiries include:
FCA finds it is essential to continually review services we offer to assess their impact and efficacy, determine if they are meeting needs, and make changes when needed. In keeping with that goal, in November 2003 FCA began emailing a satisfaction survey to clients who used our caregiverhelp e-mail services.
Over a period of three months, FCA invited people who had emailed requests to FCA looking for caregiver information or services to participate in our study. Using an interactive online survey tool, respondents answered a series of questions including: whom they were helping; demographic informa-tion; how helpful our assistance was and many other topics.
Almost 60% of respondents were caregivers of someone 60 or older. Another 28% were caring for a loved one under age 60. 26% of respondents were researchers or health and service professionals. 59% of those who completed the survey were aged 35 – 54. An additional 26% were over age 55. More than four in five respondents were women (87% total).
We know it can be difficult for caregivers already juggling multiple competing demands to wade through layers of resources to finally find the service that they need. One caregiver said, "Advice needs to be more readily available instead of having to run around in circles to finally find an answer. . . . It takes a large amount of time. There is a lot of help out there for seniors, but most people get discouraged and give up before finding what they need."
Some caregivers may struggle with the lack of services in local communities, or a lack of services for those with rare diseases. Where there is a lack of services for the care recipient or loved one, there is also generally a corresponding lack of services for the caregiver. One caregiver explained, . . ."There is a need for information for care providers of head-injured persons, especially for spouses of these people. Information about support groups for spouses would be helpful also."
It is important to reach out to caregivers who, as a result of this situation, may be at risk of isolation and the corresponding health risks. Caregivers in this situation may find online support groups, such as FCA's Link2Care, Huntington's Disease, or our general online caregiver support groups to be particularly helpful. Online support groups allow caregivers to offer and get support and learn strategies in a caring community of other caregivers. You can find information about FCA's online groups by clicking on "Groups".
Of particular interest to us at FCA was if those whom we had assisted would recommend FCA's caregiverhelp to others. We were heartened to learn that the vast majority of respondents indicated they would recommend our services. "I am so pleased with the caring manner with which I was treated when I contacted your office," said one respondent. "And I was most pleased with the amount of and quality of material I was sent to give to my Mom. Thank you so much."
Overall, we were happy with the results from our online survey. We will continue with our survey throughout the year, synthesize the results, and then see if we can make our assistance even better. In the meantime, if you or your loved ones are in need of assistance or as your needs change, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are only a phone call or e-mail away. Reach us at [email protected] or (800) 445-8106.

I am very, very new to all this, and want to learn more. A friend of mine has told me to learn Dreamweaver, and that it would be the way to go. He also assured me it was an easy program to learn.
What are your opinions? I have taken a few basic classes in html, and enjoy the entire process, but still very much in the learning phase.

Hands-on: Lenovo Netbook (prototype)
Like a smaller, less-ornate version of the IdeaPad U110: That's my initial impression of Lenovo's new Netbook, which I saw in prototype form at a meeting this week.
What I saw was not quite the same as the IdeaPad S10 that will make it to the States come October--this was the 9-inch version for international markets--and it wasn't yet fully functional. Still, it was enough to get an idea of the look and feel of Lenovo's first Netbook. The glossy case, which will be available in red, black, and white, proved rather prone to fingerprint smudges. … Read more

USS Nimitz (CVN-68)
USS Nimitz (CVN-68) is a supercarrier of the United States Navy, and the lead ship of its class. One of the largest warships in the world, it was laid down, launched and commissioned as CVAN-68 but was redesignated CVN 68 (nuclear-powered multimission aircraft carrier) on 30 June 1975 as part of the fleet realignment.
The ship was named for World War II Pacific fleet commander Chester W. Nimitz, who was the navy's third fleet admiral. Nimitz had its homeport at Naval Station Norfolk until 1987, when it was relocated to Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, Washington. Following its Refueling and Complex Overhaul in 2001, its homeport was changed to NAS North Island in San Diego, California. The home port of Nimitz was again moved to Everett, Washington, in 2012. This move is expected to save the Navy $100 million.[3]
The keel of Nimitz was laid down 22 June 1968 by Newport News Shipbuilding in Newport News, Virginia. It was christened in 1972 by Catherine Nimitz Lay, the daughter of the late Admiral Nimitz. Nimitz was delivered to the Navy in 1975, and it was commissioned at Naval Station Norfolk on 3 May 1975 by President Gerald Ford.

Service history[edit]
USS Nimitz first deployed to the Mediterranean on 7 July 1976 with Carrier Air Wing 8 embarked in company with the nuclear-powered cruisers USS South Carolina and USS California. In November 1976, Nimitz was awarded the Battle "E" from Commander, Naval Air Force U.S. Atlantic Fleet, for being the most efficient and foremost aircraft carrier in the Atlantic Fleet. The cruise was uneventful, and the carrier returned to Norfolk, Virginia on 7 February 1977.
A second uneventful Mediterranean cruise was conducted from 1 December 1977 to 20 July 1978. The third deployment began on 10 September 1979 to the Mediterranean. The ship moved to the Indian Ocean in response to the Iran hostage crisis in which the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, Iran, was overtaken and 52 hostages were held. (Prior to this trip, the ship took part in the shooting of the movie The Final Countdown and played a central role in the film.) After four months on station, Operation Evening Light was launched from Nimitz's decks in an attempt to rescue the U.S. Embassy staff. The mission was aborted after a helicopter crashed at a refueling point in the Iranian desert. The ship returned home 26 May 1980, having spent 144 days at sea.
On 26 May 1981, a Marine Corps EA-6B Prowler assigned to Carrier Air Wing 8 (CVW-8) crashed on the flight deck, killing 14 crewmen and injuring 45 others.[6] The Prowler was fuel-critical after a "bolter" (missed approach), and its crash and the subsequent fire and explosions destroyed or damaged eleven other aircraft.[7] During autopsies, several members of the Nimitz's enlisted flight deck crew who were killed, albeit not ones directly involved with the operation of the aircraft or the cause of the accident, tested positive for marijuana. Although marijuana use was not a cause of the actual aircraft mishap, the fact that so many of the enlisted ground crewmen had traces of THC while working on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier was a major cause of concern. As a result, President Ronald Reagan instituted a "Zero Tolerance" drug policy across all of the U.S. armed services, which started the mandatory drug testing of all U.S. military personnel.[8]
Nimitz deployed again to the Mediterranean on 3 August 1981. The ship, in company with USS Forrestal, conducted a Freedom of Navigation exercise in international waters in the Gulf of Sidra near Libya on 18 and 19 August 1981. On the morning of 19 August 1981, two F-14As of VF-41 were engaged by two Libyan Su-22s, resulting in the two Libyan aircraft being shot down in what became known as the Gulf of Sidra incident.
Nimitz's fourth deployment, from 10 November 1982 to 20 May 1983, was to the Caribbean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Nimitz deployed for a fifth time on 8 March 1985. On 14 June 1985, two Lebanese gunmen hijacked TWA Flight 847, which carried 153 passengers and crew and included Americans. In response, Nimitz was deployed to the coast of Lebanon, where it remained until August 1985. The embarked Airwing 8 flew continuous sorties for 67 days, bombing several sites in Beirut including the runways of Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport. The ship returned to Norfolk on 4 October 1985.
Nimitz, again with CVW-8 embarked, departed Norfolk for its sixth and final Mediterranean deployment on 30 December 1986. After four months and numerous Mediterranean port visits, the carrier crossed the equator en route to Rio de Janeiro. From Rio, it proceeded south around Cape Horn and into the Pacific Ocean. After a brief stop in San Diego, to offload its East Coast air wing, it arrived at its new home port of Bremerton, Washington, on 2 July 1987.
Nimitz deployed to the Western Pacific with Carrier Air Wing 9 embarked on 2 September 1988. During the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Nimitz provided security off the coast of South Korea. In October, it operated in the North Arabian Sea participating in Operation Earnest Will, the protection of reflagged Kuwaiti tankers. On 30 November 1988, while in the Arabian Sea, a 20 mm cannon accidentally fired during maintenance, striking a KA-6 Intruder. The ensuing fire spread to six other aircraft, and two sailors were killed. Nimitz returned to Bremerton on 2 March 1989.
On 25 February 1991, Nimitz departed Bremerton for the Persian Gulf in relief of the USS Ranger in the aftermath of Operation Desert Storm, returning to Bremerton on 24 August 1991. Nimitz again deployed to the Persian Gulf on 1 February 1993, in support of Operation Southern Watch, returning on 19 August 1993.
On 27 November 1995, Nimitz deployed to the Western Pacific, Indian Ocean and Persian Gulf with Carrier Air Wing Nine (CVW-9). In March 1996, it patrolled the waters off Taiwan amid missile tests conducted by the Chinese in the area, becoming the first American warship to pass through the Taiwan Strait since 1976. It also cruised the Persian Gulf in support of Southern Watch prior to returning from deployment on 20 May 1996.
Between 14–24 July 1997, Nimitz participated in Joint Task Force Exercise 97-2 (JTFEX 97-2) off the coast of southern California, which also served as a "Revolution in Strike Warfare" demonstration. The latter event was designed to demonstrate the capability of an aircraft carrier and its embarked air wing to project carrier-based airpower into littoral warfare.[9] On 20 July 1997, Nimitz and Carrier Air Wing Nine began a high-intensity strike campaign. When flight operations were completed four days later, Nimitz and Carrier Air Wing Nine had carried out 771 strike sorties while dropping 1,336 bombs on target. Carrier Air Wing Nine flew 975 fixed-wing sorties during this four-day surge operation. Almost 80 percent of the sorties flown were strike sorties, with strike support accounting for another 10 percent. F/A-18 Hornet strike fighters flew nearly 80 percent of the strike sorties. Of the 771 strike sorties, 727 were loaded with ordnance, while 44 were electronic support by EA-6B Prowlers. During this four-day period, only a portion of the medium-range interdiction strikes required tanking support. KC-135 and KC-130 tanker aircraft provided most of this support. S-3 Vikings conducted recovery tanking and supplied more than one-third of the fuel passed to Carrier Air Wing Nine aircraft during this surge operation.[10][11] This surge had been preceded by a 16-hour preparation after undergoing four days that had generated about 700 fixed-winged sorties.[11][12] A following study by the Center for Naval Analyses determined that Nimitz and Carrier Air Wing Nine could have maintained this high-sortie operational tempo for another twelve to twenty-four hours before requiring equipment maintenance, rest for its crews and its ordnance and aviation fuel stocks to be replenished.[13]
On 1 September 1997, Nimitz began an around the world cruise, again supporting Southern Watch, which ended in Newport News, Virginia on 2 March 1998. It next spent the next three years undergoing a nuclear Refueling and Complex Overhaul that ended on 25 June 2001.
On 11 September 2001, after sea trials in the Virginia Capes, Nimitz began its transit around South America to its new home port of NAS North Island in San Diego, California, arriving there on 13 November 2001. Aircraft from Carrier Air Reserve Wing 20 were embarked for the transit. From January to May 2002, it underwent a four-month post-shakedown maintenance availability at North Island; during this time Advanced combat direction system was installed.
Nimitz's eleventh operational deployment began on 3 March 2003.[14] It relieved USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) in the Persian Gulf in mid-April 2003, launching Carrier Air Wing 11 aircraft sorties over Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). It returned to San Diego on 5 November 2003. Nimitz and CVW-11 were awarded the 2003 Battle "E"[15] and Flatley Award[16] in early 2004.
Nimitz, again with CVW-11 embarked, deployed to the Persian Gulf on 7 May 2005, returning on 8 November 2005.[17] This deployment marked three decades of service, and was depicted in the Emmy award winning 2008 PBS documentary series Carrier.[18] In June 2006, Nimitz was awarded the 2005 Battle "E".[19]
The carrier departed North Island for its thirteenth deployment on 2 April 2007 to the Arabian Sea, relieving the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) in support of OIF.[20] It anchored off Chennai, India on 2 July 2007 as part of efforts to expand bilateral defense cooperation between India and the United States.[21] Sailors participated in community work in Chennai prior to departing, on 5 July 2007, along with the destroyer USS Pinckney (DDG-91) towards the Persian Gulf. It returned to North Island on 30 September 2007.[22]
On 24 January 2008, Nimitz deployed to the Pacific for a "surge"-deployment.[23] On 9 February 2008, two Russian Tu-95 'Bear' bombers overflew the carrier in the Western Pacific.[24] Four F/A-18C Hornets were launched when the bombers were 500 miles (800 km) away from the US ships, and intercepted the bombers 50 miles (80 km) south of Nimitz. Two F/A-18s trailed one of the bombers, which buzzed the deck of the carrier twice, while the other two F/A-18s trailed another Tu-95 circling about 50 miles (80 km) away from the carrier. Reportedly, there was no radio communication between the American and Russian aircraft. According to the Department of Defense, one of the two aircraft was said to have flown above Nimitz at an altitude of 2,000 feet (610 m). On the same day, Russian aircraft entered Japanese airspace, which caused the Japanese to raise protest to the Russian ambassador in Tokyo.[25]
Again, on 5 March 2008, a Russian bomber came within 3 to 5 nautical miles (6 to 9 km) and flew 2,000 feet (610 m) above Nimitz and its battle group. Two F/A-18 fighters intercepted the Russian aircraft and escorted it out of the area.[24]
Nimitz was awarded the Navy Battle "E" for battle efficiency for 2007 along with the Ney award for food service excellence. It returned to its home port of San Diego on 3 June 2008.
The Nimitz Strike Group, including CVW-11, departed the States for a scheduled Western Pacific deployment on 31 July 2009,[26] and began to fly combat missions in support of Operation Enduring Freedom 21 September.[27]
In January 2010, while in the Persian Gulf, the ship was awarded the Meritorious Unit Commendation for its back-to-back deployments in support of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in 2007 and 2008. The award was presented by Admiral Gary Roughead in a ceremony on the ship 6 January 2010.[28]
Nimitz visited Hong Kong for five days in February 2010 to allow its crew to rest and visit the city. The visit occurred despite China previously preventing a visit by the carrier USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63).[29][30]
On 9 December 2010, the Navy formally announced that Everett was to be the new home port for Nimitz.[31] On 9 March 2012, Nimitz arrived at its new homeport of Naval Station Everett after spending nearly a week at sea conducting post overhaul sea trials.[32]
In March 2012, Nimitz arrived at its new home port of Naval Station Everett in Washington State after more than a year of maintenance work in Bremerton, WA. It replaced the Nimitz-class carrier, Abraham Lincoln.[33] On 3 August 2012, Nimitz departed from Pearl Harbor after a two-day port call, arriving at NAS North Island on 9 August 2012 to begin Fleet Replacement Squadron Carrier qualifications.[34] On 6 October 2012, a MV-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft from squadron VMM-165 landed and refuelled on board Nimitz. This operation was part of an evaluation of the feasibility of the MV-22 as a potential replacement for the C-2 Greyhound carrier onboard delivery (COD) cargo transport aircraft.[35]
After the 1 December 2012 inactivation of USS Enterprise (CVN-65), Nimitz became the oldest U.S. carrier in active service (although Enterprise retains the record for longest-serving) and the oldest active combat ship of the United States Navy.
According to the BBC[36] on 30 August 2013, USS Nimitz was located in the Persian Gulf, ready to contribute to an operation against Syria when President Obama ordered a military strike. A Reuters report two days later said that the carrier and its task group had been re-routed westwards across the Arabian Sea.[37]
Stars and Stripes[38] reported that the ship—in its eighth month out to sea—transited the Suez Canal on 20 October into the U.S. 6th Fleet area of responsibility, where the Navy intends to keep it for a few weeks conducting joint training with allied nations before returning it home.[39]
Eventual replacement[edit]
The Nimitz class carriers have a lifespan of approximately 50 years. Nimitz itself is currently scheduled to be eventually replaced around 2025 by the Gerald R. Ford–class aircraft carrier USS John F. Kennedy, CVN-79. The exact date of the ship's inactivation and decommissioning will likely depend on Defense Department funding considerations.[40]
In popular culture[edit]
- In Nintendo of America's official comic, "Gameboy," issue number 3, published by Valiant Comics; the Nimitz assists the video game character, Mario, in retaking an unnamed U.S. territorial island in the Pacific from a video game villain called Tatanga, featured in Super Mario Land, who built a fortress upon it.
- The 1980 science fiction film The Final Countdown is set aboard Nimitz.
- Nimitz is mentioned during the 33rd episode "Shelter Skelter" of the 1985 Twilight Zone series.
- In Tom Clancy's Red Storm Rising, Nimitz is severely damaged early in the NATO-Warsaw Pact conflict, when it is attacked by Backfire bombers in the North Atlantic. It returns later in the book and is crucial in the successful retaking of Iceland.
- In the television series Wings, Nimitz is mentioned in a dream sequence of character Lowell Mather as the rescue ship after the cast makes a crash landing into the Atlantic Ocean between Nantucket and Hyannis while flying to Boston for Helen's Boston Symphony debut.
- In the 2011 video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Nimitz is seen partially sunk in New York Harbor as two of the main characters are escaping from pursuing Russians.
- The 10 part documentary Carrier follows the crew of Nimitz.
- In the science fiction series Stargate SG-1, Nimitz and its battle group are destroyed by an orbiting Goa'uld attack fleet.
- In the film Countdown to Looking Glass, Nimitz and its task force are deployed to the Strait of Hormuz to force the Omani government to rescind a toll placed on inbound oil tankers. The Soviet Union responds by sending a group of submarines to the crisis zone. The Nimitz battlegroup clears Omani patrols with minor losses. However, the Russian submarines arrive before Nimitz, and one penetrates its escort screen. Nimitz fires a nuclear-armed depth charge, which destroys the sub. In retaliation, a Soviet submarine deploy a nuclear weapon, which destroys Nimitz. This begins World War III.
- In Season 3, episode 10 of the television series Friends, Ross mentions that another Brown Bird girl won the cookie selling contest by loaning her uniform to her 19 year old sister, who then went to the Nimitz and sold 2,000 boxes.

Graham Hill is a Game Changer...Vote for Him!
Image credit: Huffington Post
Through the month of October, the Huffington Post is honoring 100 "game changers": People who are changing the shape of their field, and the world, through the use of new media.
TreeHugger's own Graham Hill has been selected as one of the ten game changers in green and you have the opportunity to vote him to the top.The Huffington Post explained that by:
Using an approach more hip than hippie to create the leading environmental website, Treehugger.com, he brings a real sense of urgency to the Green cause.
And in doing so, shows that to be successful in business there is "no contradiction between doing good and making a profit."
Graham faces stiff competition including Isabella Rossellini, Bill McKibben, David De Rothschild, and Brent Schulkin.
The good news is that you don't have to vote for just one game changer. Instead, Huffington Post is asking us to rate each person on a scale from "game changer" to "ultimate game changer."
Head over to Huffington Post and have your say today.

BWW Reviews: Austin Lyric Opera's MARRIAGE OF FIGARO is a Crowd-Pleasing Farce
The great Mozart once said, "Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius." Over 200 years after his death, we are still studying his works, a testament to the man's genius, and his operas about love, life, and betrayal capture our imagination and attention the most. Austin Lyric Opera's current production of The Marriage of Figaro clearly illustrates the brilliance and artistry of Mozart's music while poking fun at the hypocrisies of the upper class.
Under the direction of Chuck Hudson, the classic opera comes alive. Hudson smartly highlights the comedic moments of mistaken identities, crazy antics, and cross-dressing, all of which play to plenty of laughs. Still, in his hands the characters and the plot are never over-exaggerated. Hudson has a clear vision and an undeniable respect for Mozart's material, and as neurotic, foolish, and irrational as these characters are, Hudson has them under control.
Hudson also has an outstanding cast to work with. All ten principal performers are gifted singers, actors, and comedians. Jonathan Beyer brings his rich bass voice and a slightly sinister swagger to Count Almaviva, a skirt-chasing hypocrite. Tynan Davis is magnificent in the trouser role of Cherubino, the young man with a healthy sexual appetite who keeps getting into situations which put him in women's clothes. Davis's soprano is spectacular, and her ability for slapstick and physical comedy is stellar. As Figaro, Paolo Pecchioli brings the iconic character to life through his fantastic baratone voice and his wild, exaggerated facial expressions. His Figaro is a delightfully rubber-faced rogue with a penchant for mischief. But as fantastic as Pecchioli and the entire cast is, they are upstaged ever so slightly by the wonderful Jamie-Rose Guarrine as Figaro's fiancée, Susanna. The beautiful Guarrrine has an amazingly clear soprano voice and acting chops that are on par with her incredible set of pipes. Her Susanna is innocent but cunning, sarcastic, and witty, turning her into a heroine that we root for and laugh with.
And true to form for Austin Lyric Opera, the visual elements of The Marriage of Figaro parallel the quality of the performances. Boyd Ostoff's set design is large and vast yet somewhat contained as well, giving us the illusion of a massive palace while also giving the performers an intimate space for their hijinks. Susan Alred's costumes are divine period pieces, and Kathryn Eader's lighting design, particularly in the twilight and nighttime scenes of Act III and Act IV, is striking. When the performances, direction, and design are paired with the Austin Lyric Opera Orchestra under the direction of Richard Buckley, the end result is a perfect evening of entertainment.
Running time: 3 hours and 20 minutes, including one 20 minute intermission.
THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO plays The Long Center for the Performing Arts in Austin, TX. Performances are Saturday, February 2nd, 2013 at 7:30pm and Sunday, February 3rd, 2013 at 3pm. Tickets range from $21.50 - $143.50. For tickets and information, please visit www.austinlyricopera.org

- " Great location in middle of the park, but not so convenient for getting into town - so depends on what you are looking for of course. The food they ofer looked delicious and was reasonably priced. Dorm rooms don't lock but there are lockers available. "
- 08 Sep 2013 Anonymous New Zealand
- " Be aware of location (inside a natural park, long walk to town) and staff schedules (nobody available from 12 to 5). You may need a flashlight to walk in the woods if you arrive after 9 p.m, or call to get picked up. Staff were friendly. They cook decent dinner for 8 euro and breakfast for 3 euro. Showers have a 5 minute timer to save wáter (this is an eco hostel). Wifi is good. Atmosphere is good for making friends. They have two desktop computers that you can use. "

No need to use aria-labelledby here. The <label for=> relation labels the input effectively for everyone so adding aria-labelledby would just be accessibility theatre.
See this blog by a Mozilla accessibility QA engineer for an example of where aria-labelledby could be used [marcozehe.de...]
As a rough rule of thumb do not use ARIA at all unless you 1. need to because normal HTML semantics do not cover the usage scenario 2. are an expert and 3. are going to test in AT.
Despite WAI-ARIA 1.0 currently being a W3C candidate Recommendation, even the W3C Working Groups involved can't agree on how some parts of it work/should work. Expect a rapid release of WAI-ARIA 1.1 :)

The No Child Left Behind Act is the most ambitious piece of education legislation ever enacted by Congress. Designed to promote accountability and prod states to increase efforts to address educational inequities, NCLB includes significant provisions regarding assessment, sanctions for low-performing schools and districts, teacher quality and standards for educational research.
On Jan. 8, 2002, surrounded by members of both the Democratic and Republican congressional leadership, President George W. Bush signed the No Child Left Behind Act--called NCLB--into law. NCLB is the nation's most significant federal legislation on K-12 schooling since the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965, and the most ambitious federal intervention in a domain long regarded as the preserve of state and local governments.
Congress approved NCLB by large, bipartisan majorities, with the law passing 87-10 in the U.S. Senate and 381-41 in the House of Representatives. Emerging from an exhaustive year of negotiations, NCLB refashioned federal education policy in the areas of testing, accountability and teacher quality. . . .

Press ReleaseAlabama's Free Fishing Day Set For Saturday, June 10May 18, 2006 Each calendar year, the Commissioner of Conservation and Natural Resources designates a "Free Fishing Day" for the public to fish recreationally in public waters without a fishing license. "Free Fishing Day is offered to introduce non-anglers to the sport of fishing and to remind former anglers of the fun they've been missing," said Stan Cook, Chief of Fisheries with the Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division. "It's a good time to pass on the tradition of a family fun day of fishing to There is an exemption of the usual fishing license requirement on that day. Some lakes may still require fees and permits, and owner's permission is required to fish private ponds. ### |

Welcome to the new Board Format
Thu, 03-27-2003 - 12:43pm |
Hi all - Sorry that it has taken me this long to say welcome to everyone, Quin (my DS) had minor surgery this a.m. and this is the first chance I have had to post.
I know that the format is confusing but I hope that everyone will bear with us as we all get used to it. Julie and I had a chance to preview it before it began live, I can tell you that we were not excited about it. However, we hope that you will all bear with us as we learn how to make this work for our board along with you. We hope that this board will get back to it's regular activity soon.
Julie and I would like to hear all of your comments about the new format as we are going to send a note to the Pplace powers that be shortly.
Thanks (a confused as you are) - CL~Kris
Thu, 03-27-2003 - 1:26pm |
Kris, you can see my comments under general discussion. I don't know how to be more specific than that because the threads aren't numbered on the main board. I could go in and get the message #, but that wouldn't do you any good because you'd have to open each message to look at the numbers. Anyway, I noted several problems I'm having (flashing screen, very long time loading pages and inability to open outline view. It seems several other people are having the same problems. Hope it gets worked out soon. I'll check back tonight. I'm too frustrated for now. Kris
Thu, 03-27-2003 - 3:11pm |
Hi Kris, I thought I had this thing kind of figured out. Then I closed my browser, and when I reopened it, the outline of the main IVF page said that I had unread messages in every post. Actually, I only had one unread message. Will there be a way to track what I've already read when I close my browser down and start up again? I really hope this makes sense (it's hard to type out what I mean to say!)!
Thanks, Julie
