I received this as a gift from my sister after I told her how much I liked the way it smelled on a friend of mine. I would never have purchased this for myself just because I usually don't like bath and body works scents. I'm so glad my sister bought me this lotion. It works great with my body chemistry and it dries down to a nice warm floral scent. I have worn just about every expensive perfume there is and my husband compliments me more when I wear this lotion than when I put on any other product. I like the fact that you can smell it all day. I have read so many reviews where people (including myself) have complained that a scent has no staying power. Now there are reviews that this has too much. I don't get it. I am in nursing school and I wear this all the time and no one has complained that they can smell it or that it's too strong a scent. Also, it hydrates the skin well. It soaks in quickly and doesn't leave a greasy residue like some lotions can. Overall, I give it high marks based on scent, lasting power, and hydration. It's a winner. Also it's cheap. 10$ for a lotion that makes you smell great all day is a double bonus.
I really wanted to love this lotion because I am CRAZY for the Japanese Cherry Blossom bubble bath, but I ended up being overpowered by the lotion's scent. It was just too strong on me, almost cloying. I guess it just didn't work with my chemistry, because I let a coworker have it and it smelled okay on her. I'll just stick to the bubble bath for this scent.
I tried some of this lotion in the store on my hands, and the smell was SO STRONG that I had to wash this stuff off! It didn't stink (actually it smelled pretty good), but it did give me a headache. Won't be buying it because there are other B&BW scents I like better.
I LOVE this scent. I get comments all of the time when I put the lotion on. People will notice it when they hug me or sometimes when they are right next to me. For me it's a prefectly subtle scent that blends perfectly with my own body chemistry. I don't care that it's so widely sold and popular, this is my daily HG scent. The lotion-I usually just use the body cream-also keeps my skin very well moisturized, even through a harsh Vermont winter. I just apply it immediately after I get out of the shower. It's more expensive that a drugstore lotion, but I usually stock up when Bath & Body Works has one of their great sales. So I usually end up getting an awesome deal and really only buy it once or twice a year. A tube of body cream lotion will last you quite a while. I will buy this again and again!
i never understood why this scent was the most popular BBW scent.
i never liked it. it's very musky. i'm not sure how to explain how it smells. it's just a scent i never enjoyed.
to each his own, i suppose.
Smells wonderful! I love this much better than the regular Cherry Blossom scent from B&BW. The lotion itself is luxurious and absorbs quickly, and the scent sticks for hours (and rubs off your clothes and sheets! That's a good thing to me, but it's just a warning.)
I love lotions that smell great and absorbs immediately on your skin, and this lotion passes the test. If you use it daily, it may not last very long, but my bottle's on it's second month and I still have some left. The price is a bit expensive, and I'm sure there are many other lotions that absorb quickly, keep you moisturized and smell great, so just get those. I will admit this lotion does feel and look high quality.
My favorite B&B Works scent.....I love it and I try to stock up when they are having a sale or when I have a coupon! It's floral without being too floral. I fell in love with this scent a couple of years ago on accident and since then this is the only scent that I have bought from there.
my favorite scent from bath and body works! I seriously own everything they make in this scent
Very nice smell. The lotion is smooth too.
Japanese Cherry Blossom is sweet and woody vanilla Oriental with a touch of incense and fruit. I don't get any harsh, strong top notes on this one. I don't need to let it dry down before I enjoy it. It smells good from beginning to end and doesn't mutate into anything weird, only a fainter version of itself. The lotion is very rich and is strong enough that it could be worn by itself, and I often do.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Puerto Rico's governor is making it more expensive for elderly citizens to have fun in the U.S. territory.
Alejandro Garcia Padilla has signed a law backed by the entertainment industry that imposes greater restrictions on discounted or free tickets.
The law cancels a previous measure that required theaters and other entertainment venues to give free tickets to people 75 years or older. It also raises the age at which people legally must receive a 50 percent discount from 60 to 65 years old.
Puerto Rico's entertainment industry complained that the previous law was stifling productions and hurting the economy.
Garcia signed the bill on Thursday.

That dude in uniform is so fucking cruel! The first brunette babe gets fucked so fucking hard! But the other babes are so sexy too!
love this kind of movies... when girls resist and cry as if they don't want to get pounded! amazing video, I enjoy it!
WOW the brunette's body is FUCKING HOT!
i wish i knew girls like this , my only beef is that he r boobs look totally plastic but i could fuck them anyway
this video is fucking hot! the chick's boobs are just terrific! I wish I were there instead of this lucky dude.
She might fake everyone with the scared face but she's damn sure not fooling me! She loves getting fucked hard!
lets be honest here and say that a rough fucking is never a torture for these sluts!
This ho with huge hooters must have done something rather mean but I'd say she did it on purpose as she likes being taught a lesson.
Sex and Submission is a fetish site that combines intense BDSM with intense hardcore fucking. Mixing in a few porn stars and models that are really into the lifestyle makes all the difference in these scenes, which stand out in the niche for not just their technical quality but their content quality. With regular updates each week, hour long episodes, and a massive archive it's a hot pick.

The Houston Astros will officially play in their first Spring Training in close to 24 hours from now against the Atlanta Braves. With that in mind, we asked our @HouseOfHouston followers for their predictions on the Astros record this season.
It started with this tweet:
Where are my #Astros fans?!? We'll do this again before Opening Day but how many wins do you currently have the Astros winning this season?
— House Of Houston (@HouseOfHouston) February 27, 2014
The Predictions
— Joshua See (@JTSee693) February 27, 2014
@HouseOfHouston Somewhere around 65-70. Over 70 would be a treat, all things considered.
— Kyle L (@FreckedNotGinge) February 27, 2014
— Astros Future (@AstrosFuture) February 27, 2014
@HouseOfHouston optimistic: 76
— Astros Future (@AstrosFuture) February 27, 2014
@HouseOfHouston 70 wins and I'd be as happy as can be!!!
— Alex Sandoval (@LEXthePEX) February 27, 2014
@HouseOfHouston id say around 75 wins . Hoping we can really step up our game this year
— ⚾Combat Carl⚾ (@KingOfEngland11) February 27, 2014
@HouseOfHouston After an All Star Team of Free Agents move to AL West, none to Astros, I'm lowering prediction from 71 to 65.
— Milton Grammer (@blacksmith400) February 27, 2014
@LEXthePEX @HouseOfHouston I could live with 70.
— Thomas Marr (@Thomas_Marr) February 27, 2014
@HouseOfHouston 65??
— Stephen Naron (@stephennaron) February 27, 2014
My Thoughts
The 2013 Astros finished with a 51-111 record, the worst record in franchise history. GM Jeff Luhnow and the rest of the front office set out to make things better, and hopefully make a big jump this coming season.
Our buddies at Bovada put the over under on wins for the Astros this season at 62.5. Looking at the tweets above, all Astros fans believe they will reach that point and some even think they'll reach the 70's.
At this point, I'm not quite ready to put the Astros in the 70-win range. I think 65 is fair. As Milton Grammer (tweet above) pointed out, the AL West got better which could hurt the Astros, even though the Astros improved themselves. The Astros finished with a 9-10 record against the Mariners which will likely be a little worse this coming season. The same can be said for the Astros 10-9 record against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
The Astros will be better and should pick up at least 10 extra wins, but will they finish the season out of the cellar?
What do you guys think? Sound off in the comments below.

Could Humans Run On Water?
How would it be possible for humans to run on water? Outside's Fitness Coach has the answer.
How would it be possible for humans to run on water? Outside's Fitness Coach has the answer.
My concern is how I can exercise longer into my older years. I'm 60 and very active (climbed to 18K twice last summer). It is just much more difficult for me to do the outdoor things that I love. Any tips?
Which is better to drink for a pick-me-up before a race: coffee or an energy drink?
I like to ride my bike to and from work. I use the same outfit for both rides, which my coworker says is nasty. If I lay my clothes out in the sun while I'm working, won't the sun kill the bacteria on them? (Please say yes or I'll lose a bet.)
Is it true that impact stress in runners is greatest when the foot strikes the ground at the beginning of an exhalation? Outside's Fitness Coach has the answer.
Is it true that the more I run, the more my body gets used to running, and the fewer calories I burn doing it? Do I need to crosstrain to keep up the burn?
Can humans outrun mosquitoes? Outside's Fitness Coach has the answer.
Does flying after racing increase my risk of getting a blood clot? If so, how can I minimize that risk? Outside Fitness Coach has the answer.
Bad news for avid cyclists—the sport can hurt your fertility. What other sports might affect sperm count? Outside Fitness Coach has the answer.
How old are most Tour de France winners? At 34, could I even be a contender? Outside's Fitness Coach has the answer.
I work at home on the computer. I considered modifying my desk to accommodate a treadmill, but after a reality check, I have no room or money for one. Are pedalers any good? If not, what is another option?
I've been seeing a lot of oddly shaped chainrings on my group rides lately. Does everyone else know something I don't? Are those chainrings making the other guys faster?
My girlfriend is a marathoner and it seems like she always has black toenails. It's gross. Why does this keep happening, and is there anything I can do to help her prevent them?
We understand: You need your coffee. But when should you cut yourself off? Fitness Coach Erin Beresini's here to make sure you don't overdose.
Outside's Fitness Coach helps you figure out how to increase your speed

Ticketmaster (Red) Campaign World AIDS Day
Every Dec. 1 for the past 25 years, people from around the world have come together to commemorate the fight against HIV/AIDS; to pay respect to those who have succumbed to AIDS and to support those currently living with HIV.
Each year, since 1988, they have done this by uniting to observe World AIDS Day.
This year's World AIDS Day theme is "Shared Responsibility: Strengthening Results for an AIDS-Free Generation" and here at Ticketmaster, we're doing our part to turn this theme into reality.
Through a special partnership with (RED)™, we're raising money for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, which will be used towards prevention, treatment, counseling, HIV testing and care services for some of the poorest, most at-risk and marginalized groups facing HIV and AIDS in Africa. For every Ticketmaster mobile app downloaded Nov. 4 –30—and available for free in the iTunes® store and in the Android store—Ticketmaster made a donation to the Global Fund**.
We're also encouraging you as fans to get involved.
Now and until Dec. 15, anytime you purchase tickets for concerts, sports, theatre and family events through Ticketmaster.com and LiveNation.com, you can make a $5 contribution that will go towards the Global Fund—towards much-needed monies for more services and medicines in densely affected areas.
And, we're not stopping there.
We're encouraging our employees to donate, matching their contributions, up to $10,000.
2013 marks the first time we've collaborated with (RED)™ to benefit the Global Fund, a campaign that has raised more than $215 million and positively impacted 14 million people*. Through our combined efforts with our fans and employees, we're hoping to build upon the critical work that this organization has already done.

Social Learning for your business - help employees find what they need and share what they know.
'WHO IS ANONYMOUS?'(http://trails.by/haleycamp06/who-is-anonymous)This group is all over the news and social media, but who are they and what do they do??—curated by haleycamp06
1-Social learning is not new. "Social Learning Theory" is a concept initially derived from psychologist Albert Bandura in the late 70's, which proposes that people learn within a social context.
2- According to research, 70% (WOW!) of learning and employee development take place from real, on-the-job experiences and problem solving.
3- Social Learning solves the problem of connecting through a community to make sense and understand the current landscape that surrounds those within the social learning knowledge group (i.e., HR, onboarding, etc.). Each employee can access the information and the knowledge embedded in others, contributing to their own learning through each interaction.
4-Social Learning is NOT e-learning. E-learning is a delivery system of information. Social Learning is a collaborative effort whereby knowledge is shared and learning is enhanced through a group participatory effort.
5-Social Learning is FUN!

"Learning would be exceedingly laborious, not to mention hazardous, if people had to rely solely on the effects of their own actions to inform them what to do. Fortunately, most human behavior is learned observationally through modeling: from observing others one forms an idea of how new behaviors are performed, and on later occasions this coded information serves as a guide for action."
-Albert Bandura, Social Learning Theory, 1977

Against the Titans, the Bengals had four rushing plays of 15+ yards. Rookie RB Rex Burkhead had a 22-yard long run, and second-year back Dan Herron had the night's longest play from scrimmage with a 40-yard run. The Bengals ended the night with a team total of 236 yards with
five players averaging 5.2 yards per carry or more. It looks safe to say Marvin Lewis is committed to establishing a running game early in the season.
The most interesting statistics to me watching this game was that Tennessee controlled the clock throughout the entirety of the game, holding Possession for 32.48 minutes, while the Bengals only had the ball for 27.12 minutes. A margin of even just five minutes is a very long time in this league, not to mention the fact that Tennessee won the turnover battle with two fumble recoveries, and the penalty battle with 5 penalties for 44 yards. vs. the Bengals' 48 yards on 6 penalties.
Despite those miscues, the Bengals were able to win due in large part to eight passing plays of 10+ yards, with five of those being 20 yards or more. Andy Dalton's quarterback rating of 113.7 going 9/14 with one touchdown and 115 yards, along with Josh Johnson's 105.1 quarterback rating on 5/7 passing with 73 yards would be just enough to give the Bengals their second preseason win.
This team has depth at every position. On any giving night, Jay Gruden and his offense could bring a variety of game plans to confuse the defense, and the Cincinnati Bengals are showing they have the balance and depth to continue their winning ways in 2013.
The Bengals play next August 24th against Dallas before wrapping up the preseason at home against Indianapolis. You can purchase Bengals tickets here and save up to 50% for either game. So if you're an excited Bengals fan living in Dallas or cheering on the team from your Ohio home, make sure to grab some tickets and root them on as they prepare for the regular season.

margins consist of broad coastal plains bordered offshore by wide continental shelves and gentle continental slopes. These relatively stable coastlines are characterized by depositional landforms such as broad sandy beaches and offshore barrier bars and at low latitudes by broad coral reefs. The southeast coast of North America and the northeast coast of Australia are typical passive-margin coastlines with low-to-moderate topographic relief and subdued depositional landforms. Much of the former is bordered offshore by barrier bars (Oaks and Du Bar, 1974), and most of the latter by extensive coral reefs (Hopley, 1983).
Long-term tectonic stability along most passive-margin coastlines is expressed stratigraphically by undeformed continental and marine sediments that underlie flat coastal plains and continental shelves and geomorphically by broad accretionary strandline terraces that consist of subdued beach ridges separated by abandoned tidal flats (Oaks and Du Bar, 1974). However, rapid sediment accumulation, such as at the mouth of a large river, may isostatically depress an otherwise stable passive-margin coastline (Figure 6.4C) (Fisk and McFarlan, 1955; Hicks and Crosby, 1974). Also, occasional large earthquakes, such as the 1886 Charleston, South Carolina, seismic event on the Atlantic coast of North America (Hays and Gori, 1983), indicate that passive continental margins are not completely aseismic, even though there is little stratigraphic or geomorphic evidence in these areas of recent, near-surface crustal deformation.
In contrast to the subdued coastlines along passive plate boundaries, most coastlines along or near active continental margins consist of coastal hills or mountains bordered offshore by narrow continental shelves and

Perhaps it's because she's white...
Last edited by Watti; January 8th, 2008 at 11:28 AM.
Kelly's not bad. I didn't hear the remark but I can just imagine the context it was said in based on how she and Nick interact and comment.
Her voice annoys me. Maybe she won't be there much longer.
You think women have cornered the market? Remember these classics?
"Look at that little monkey go"~ Howard Cossell
"He's hanging up there like a monkey"~ Chick Hearn
Yeah, respond to bigotry with more bigotry. That'll show 'em.
It would be nice if they provided some context for her comment.
Or maybe that's just me and my incessant need to know the whole story before passing judgment.
"Only a numbskull thinks he knows things about things he knows nothing about."
"It's understanding that makes it possible for people like us to tolerate a person like yourself."
Cosell? Not so much.
As for the golf chick....I have always been opposed to the onslaught of female sports anchors because 99% of them suck. I just didn't think anyone, less than a year on the job, would be dumb enough to say something like that.
Kelly Tilghman has been with the Golf Channel for years hosting a variety of shows, and she played college and professional golf. She's been around the game her whole life, and around tour pros her entire professional career.
Again, I didn't hear the comment, but knowing her style from watching years of the Golf Channel I suspect she and Nick were joking around about the young players not getting a fair chance while Tiger's still playing on tour. My guess is that there's nothing to see here. A loose comment was made; one where you say "crap, that's gonna be taken the wrong way" right after you say it. You ever hear Nick Faldo or Johnny Miller make a loose comment like that??

Our organization does not advocate de-clawing of cats. De-clawing involves amputation of the last knuckles of a cat's paw – cutting through bone, tendons, skin and nerves. This is cruel and unnecessary. Please visit The Paw Project for more information.
Please note: Any animal dumped at our facility will be taken by local animal control. We are not an intake facility and do not have the means to house unwanted pets.

Elderly demented patients who experience behavioral disturbances may be effectively treated with the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor citalopram, according to new research. If the results hold up in future research, the highly selective SSRI, well known for its benign interaction and side-effect profiles, may offer patients an equally effective, but far safer, alternative to conventional treatment with antipsychotic medications.
Psychotic and behavioral disturbances such as hallucinations, delusions, restlessness, disruptive vocalizations, and aggression are often among the most distressing aspects of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, and are frequently cited as the reason for families to admit relatives to long-term-care facilities, according to Bruce Pollock, M.D., Ph.D., the study's principal investigator and his coauthor, Jules Rosen, M.D.
Pollock's team of researchers randomly assigned more than 80 hospitalized patients with at least one moderate-to-severe target symptom of behavioral disturbance to citalopram; the conventional neuroleptic, perphenazine; or placebo, for up to 17 days while hospitalized.
Only patients receiving citalopram showed significantly greater improvement in their total Neurobehavioral Rating Scale score as well as in the scores for the agitation/aggression and lability/tension factors.
The study, funded through grants from the National Institute of Mental Health, was reported in the March issue of the American Journal of Psychiatry.
Pollock, director of the Geriatric Psychopharmacology Program at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic, became interested in using citalopram for behavioral disturbances in the early 1990s when Scandinavian researchers published reports using the drug—which at the time was not yet approved in the U.S.—to attempt to alleviate cognitive decline in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
"They had done some neurochemical work on postmortem brains and felt there was definitely evidence of deficit in serotonin in Alzheimer's disease patients," Pollock told Psychiatric News.
Although the Scandinavian researchers found no improvement in cognitive function with citalopram, they noted that family members of patients in the study receiving the drug requested that their relative remain on the medication after the study ended. When asked why, the families consistently remarked that the patients' behavior seemed to have improved on the drug.
Pollock obtained approval from the FDA to use citalopram as an investigational new drug. He believed there was some evidence at the time to link serotonin dysfunction to aggression and impulsive disorders.
"Where the billions of dollars have been invested in the pharmaceutical industry has been in trying to improve treatment of the cognitive aspects of Alzheimer's disease," Pollock said. "No one in industry would even look at this proposal, so it was vitally important that NIMH funded this study."
Rosen, a professor of psychiatry and director of the geriatric psychiatry fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh, saw the great need from the clinical point of view. He had seen countless numbers of patients on haloperidol, perphenazine, or another sedating medication and knew that it was not the best medicine.
"We all know that the data supporting the use of conventional neuroleptics [like haloperidol or perphenazine] to treat behavioral disturbances are quite marginal at best," he told Psychiatric News. "And I was looking at these people and was thinking, What am I really treating? And I came to realize that agitation is really a constellation of other different symptoms. You have people who are really dysphoric and truly miserable, you have people who are very anxious, you have people who are obsessive or impulsive. So I started trying to understand these patients less by throwing them into the grab-bag of agitation, and more as to what we really needed to be treating in these individuals. And SSRIs kept jumping out at me."
The team is now working on a second NIMH-funded study, comparing citalopram with risperidone.
"This study will take the scientific exploration of the issue to a new level," Rosen commented. "The idea is not simply to get people well in the hospital and then discharge them but to extend that and see the interaction between the drug's effects and the environment. By following people back into the nursing home for up to three months, we are really trying to determine if there is a differential [between the two drugs]."
Both Rosen and Pollock believe that the SSRI and the atypical antipsychotic risperidone will be effective in the new study. What they would like to see is whether one or the other helps patients adjust better to the nursing-home environment. Both also stressed that they did not want to overstate the first study's results, noting that it involved a relatively small sample, over a short period.
"What we did show," Pollock concluded, "was a positive effect of citalopram that, contrary to what we would have expected, helped to alleviate not just the agitation, but the psychotic symptoms in Alzheimer's disease, a lot of which were visual hallucinations."
The study, "Comparison of Citalopram, Perphenazine, and Placebo for the Acute Treatment of Psychosis and Behavioral Disturbances in Hospitalized, Demented Patients," is posted on the Web at http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/cgi/content/full/159/3/460. ▪

I swear to god this is my fave video on earth
An undated classroom photo of Martin Richard, the youngest victim of the Boston Marathon bombings, shows him holding up a handwritten sign that reads "No more hurting people. Peace." The photo was posted to Facebook by a friend of Martin's teacher. He did not survive; his mother and sister were injured in the blasts. (Via Twitter.com/jaketapper)
We enter a little coffeehouse with a friend of mine and give our order. While we're aproaching our table two people come in and they go to the counter:
'Five coffees, please. Two of them for us and three suspended' They pay for their order, take the two and leave.
I ask my friend: "What are those 'suspended' coffees?"
My friend: "Wait for it and you will see."
Some more people enter. Two girls ask for one coffee each, pay and go. The next order was for seven coffees and it was made by three lawyers - three for them and four 'suspended'. While I still wonder what's the deal with those 'suspended' coffees I enjoy the sunny weather and the beautiful view towards the square infront of the café. Suddenly a man dressed in shabby clothes who looks like a beggar comes in throught the door and kindly asks
'Do you have a suspended coffee ?'
It's simple - people pay in advance for a coffee meant for someone who can not afford a warm bevarage. The tradition with the suspended coffees started in Naples, but it has spread all over the world and in some places you can order not only a suspended coffee, but also a sandwitch or a whole meal.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to have such cafés or even grocery stores in every town where the less fortunate will find hope and support ? If you own a business why don't you offer it to your clients… I am sure many of them will like it.

this is so great
this is absolutely beautiful.

October 30, 2014
A 21-year-old man has been arrested after a standoff with Lincoln police.
The incident began Sunday evening when A.J. Busse got into a dispute with a woman in a residence at the Shamrock Mobile Home Park. She called a friend, who went to help.
Authorities say Busse went outside when the woman's friend arrived and fired two shots from a .22-caliber rifle into the ground. The bullets didn't hit anyone.
Police were then called, and officers soon surrounded the mobile home. After about an hour, the woman and Busse went outside.
Police Capt. David Beggs says Busse was arrested on suspicion of assault, discharging a firearm in the city and terroristic threats. Online court records don't list the name of Busse's attorney.

But when reality rears its head, I see grad school. It'll allow me to hide from that reality just a bit longer.

While endearing, and generally accepted as a well liked quality, in my experience, caring does not necessarily lead to a situation that is best for that person.
Not that I necessarily want noone to care, but that caring is not enough to make a decision a good one.

3/4" Steel Shackle Mount - $95
For serious off-roaders, our shackle mounts offer additional towing points on your vehicle and a great place to attach a winch cable back to the bumper when using a snatch block (pulley). These are ¾" CNC plasma cut steel tabs welded on to the pipe base with 1" holes to accommodate any of our heavy duty ¾" shackles.
Traditional Shackle Hooks - $39
Our traditional ¾" galvanized shackle hooks can be bolted to the shackle mounts and are great for hooking your tow strap or snatch block to when trying to get out of a tight spot. Rated at 10,000 lbs, they are strong enough for most any off-road enthusiast.
Heavy Duty Twisted Quick Release Shackle Hook- $78
Heavier Duty than our traditional shackle hook, these twisted quick relaese mounts are heat-treated and built to withstand a working load of 16,000 lbs. The usable length is 3" and the pin diameter is 3/4" while the clevis body diameter is almost 1" thick. They are powdercoated black to blend in with the bumper and have a yellow zinc dichromate plated pin to deter rust.
Heavy Duty Shackle Hook - $68
Heavier duty than our traditional shackle hooks but still have the same shape. These hooks are also bolt on and utilize a thicker diameter pin at almost 1". The usable length is 3" and the clevis body diameter is 7/8". The working load is 13,000 lbs. and the pin is coated with rust preventive zinc dichromate.
Universal Winch Box - $190 (Winch box can also be custom built for specific winches at no additional charge)
This CNC plasma cut winch box is unique from other winch boxes in that it allows your winch to remain exposed for ease of use, so that you can keep your cable from balling up as well as reach necessary levers and switches on your winch, especially if you have a Warn Power Plant. It is fabricated from heavy ⅜" plate and accommodates most winches on the market. Compatible winches are Mile Marker (please specify if you have a Mile Marker winch), Warn, and Ramsey up to a Warn 16.5k. The dimensions of this box are 29" wide x 9" deep with an 8" tall face plate unless built for a specific winch.
Front Bumper 2" Protruding Receiver - $85
There are a few main reasons one would need a receiver on the front of a truck. 1. It allows for the use of a removable winch plate as seen here. 2. It allows for the use of a tow hook as seen below. 3. It allows for the use of many other after-market accessories such as an upright mount to hold extra long PVC pipe or extension ladder that you might have attached to an over-the-cab bed rack.
Front Bumper Flush Mounted Receiver
Same uses as above...**NOTE: The shank of your accessory must be pinned from the back of the pipe, accessed from the bottom of the bumper, and requires at least 5¼" of unobstructed shank from pin hole to ball mount platform or any gussets. This is to allow it to pass through the 4" pipe base and be pinned on the back side of the pipe base.
2" Heavy Duty Tow Hook - $95
Some customers need more than just access to their factory tow hooks, they need a convenient, instantly available place to hook a chain or tow strap with heavy duty capabilities. Here's the solution. This tow hook is forged from a solid piece of steel, NOT hollowed out like some others. It has a tow rating of 12,000 lbs, weighs almost 9 lbs. and is powdercoated black.
Heavy Duty Welded Light Tab - $55 (per 2-4)
Welded to the cross bars as an optional accessory, the light tabs are perfect for off road enthusiasts who want to mount large running lights to the front bumper.
Custom Fog Light Sleeve to fit factory fog lamps - $165
So that you can keep the factory fog lights on your truck, a plasma cut hole is made and a hand formed steel tube is welded in its place. Custom fabricated brackets are welded to the diamond plated steel to hold the lights as if they were mounted in the factory. This keeps your lights protected and gives you that clean sleeve look. Our secure mounts show how we take the extra steps to give your new bumper a truly custom look for your factory lights. We also now offer custom sleeves for Rigid Industries 4" and 6" LED lights, which are by far the highest quality light on the market today.
Now Available with Rigid Industries Custom Light Sleeves
Expanded Metal Mesh - $85
Our Expanded Metal Grill will protect your truck's front grill and radiator from debris, sticks, and branches. It is made from a ¾" #9 flat expanded metal sheet and is welded into the grill section of your bumper during manufacturing
Underside of a bumper showing solid welds and thick steel brackets
Note: custom sensor sleeves only available upon request at additional charge
Custom Reverse Sensor Sleeves (Rear Bumpers Only) Ford/Chevy - $165
Dodge $125
If you want your sensors to continue to operate as if they are on the factory bumper, these custom sensor sleeves are by far the best on the market. The factory sensors slide in to the hand machined sleeves and tighten with a set screw. Note: Custom sensor sleeves only available upon request at additional charge and are only available on our Tough Country premium line of rear bumpers.
Flat Black Wrinkle Powdercoat Finish: $345
Over the years, bumpers have become more sophisticated, and so have our customers. For those who want to further set themselves apart, not only in the quality category, but also in the appearance category, this is one finish to give some serious thought to. It is our tough wrinkle powdercoat finish. Although it is not "wrinkled" as you may think, it has a very rough sand paper like feel and doesn't produce glare like the gloss black powdercoating does.
Bedliner Finish: $295
The toughest finish available, and surprisingly the least expensive custom finish we offer. For those who need something that will offer far more protection than any other coating, this is it. The extremely rough textured coating is sprayed, ON TOP OF the anti-rust agent base coat AND the original gloss black powdercoat, totaling three layers of protection. We generally recommend this finish to folks who live up north in the snow and salty roads but it is also very useful for those who constantly drive through brush and small trees.
Custom Color Options:
White Powdercoat
Price: $395
Silver Vein Coating
Price: $495
Pale Adobe - Pueblo Gold - Arizona Beige
(includes clear coat)
Price: $495

Name's Noel Aker, but my hiker friends call me BROTUCKY.
This is my Journal from my '09 Appalachian Trail thru-hike.
First part of the clip is from the 16th on the other side of Barren Mountain, and the second two are from the 17th . The second clip is at the very end of the 100 mile wilderness and the 3rd is inside the Monson General Store at their weekly bluegrass night. (Song Clip: Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show)______________
God Brings Rest
July 17th Day: 8
I FiNished the 100 Mile Wilderness! Wow tha – felt good. Called SHAWs they came + picked me up I ate 3 servin's of all you can eat fish fry at THE LAKESHORE HOUSE "Laundry up front, Bar in the back, sleep up top." then went to Monson Gen. Store for their music night. They let me play w/ them! It was a rough hike. But it woke up and the woman and her son had left me some mountain house meals which I devowerd for lunch. But then… I was sick. Had dierea and threw up once. It took 11 hours for me to do 16 miles which was slow for me. Gods really shown me how to trust, persevere, and be truly happy in every moment.
When I woke up and the woman and her son had left me food it was unbelievable. Such an answer to prayer. I was out of food and would have had to go through the day with nothing but a granola bar. It made me feel awful for being upset inside because they took the Root Beer and Whoopie Pie the day before. It was true "trail magic" as they call it to have had them give it to me. The Lord provided it.
The Hike that day was tough. So tough in fact that I almost camped that night rather than finishing the wilderness. After I had puked and felt dehydrated from the diarrhea I just didn't want to continue. It had gotten so bad that at one point I dropped trow right in the middle of the trail (don't tell). I know a bit too much information, but I think if I left that out it wouldn't tell the whole story. But the lord told me to continue. He gave me motivation. I stopped at a shelter that had a menu from the restaurant in Monson. The all you can eat fish fry called my name and gave me an extra boost.
I got to the road, called Shaw's (the hostel in town) and within fifteen minutes they came and picked me up. I got in, got a cot in the bunkroom that had ten other beds and took my first shower. IT WAS PURE HEAVEN!!! They had clean "street cloths" for us to change into so that we could wash our hiking cloths and feel normal for a bit. I put on a pair of jeans, denim felt great, and a sweatshirt and went to explore the town. I called my parents and went to the Post office to see if my package was there, it wasn't so I would have to stay in town another day. I went to the Lakeshore house to eat. The bar was handmade completely out of one single family planted tree. It overlooked the lake, it was great.
That night I met a woman and her family, the Douthats. She was great, a Christian, and we talked for a while before I finally fell asleep.
(Source: brotucky)
The trail. Look for the blaze, and it continued going up. This became a normal climb.
Didnt Journal: Hiked 21.5 miles on this day. Covered Chairback, Colombus, 3rd, 4th, and Barren MNT. in one day. It was cloudy all day and I wasn't feelin' good but when I got to the top of 4th the Heavans Literally opeNed and I felt completely Restored. I saw the first remnace of what they call Trail Majic. Food left on the trail like soda and snacks with a note. But all the food was gone. When I got to the shelter which I could barely find in the night I met a woman and her son. Annoyingly they told me they got the LAST root beer and whoopee pie and devoired them. I barley had much good food left so it was hard to hear her say that. They are day Hikers why do they need it?
The reason I hiked 21.5 miles was because I was running out of food. I wouldn't have made it. When I got to the top of 4th and "the clouds opened up" they really did. The music video Vanilla Twilight by Owl City really represents visually what it looked like. I was so filled with energy and joy and hope and wonder that I could not stop there. I would be able to continue hiking without it getting dark so quick and be able to see off the tops of mountains. I kept hiking.
I have tried to make days better, lift my spirits, buckle down, and press on using so many other things than the Lord. He did it in a single moment. When I came across the empty trail magic I was so down and I thought that having that would have made me happy, but it I know it wouldn't have. God seemed to say to me that night all you need is me for joy fulfillment and hope. I will give things to you.
7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
9 "Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! 12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
- Matthew 7:7-12
find the trail. don't worry you'll get lost.
Note: there will never be a picture of how terrible the conditions were, the reason is because it was truly hell. And no one takes pictures while their barely making it. I tried once or twice to capture it, there is just nothing that does it justice.
July 15th D-day + 5
Tough day today thats for sure! Haha funny how an eleven mile "short day" can take so much outta you. Got a late start cuz I slept in on purpose. It was colD from the start. For lunch I had the can of ham. Didn't sit well. I had gas and a tummy ache and the Runs all day. So from that point on I trekked w/ a Smile tryin to learn how to be joyful in all things. Met 4 northbounders no 5 at White Cap today. All had Great beards. Ready to finish. ( I wonder if I'll end up just a bit odd like them.) Tonight I'm staying at Carl A. Newhal lean-to.
If the bugs, the falls, the intense physical strain, and the nasty trail conditions were all that was tough about the 100 mile wilderness, I would have been fine. But I got sick. what happened with the can of ham on the 15th was just added sickness to what had already began to set in. This is unpleasant but true. Diarrhea, puking, and fatigue for three days. I chose to keep hiking through it. I could not get far fast, cuz I had to stop every twenty minutes, take myself far off the trail so that no one could see me, dig a hole, do the dirty, pack up the whole. Kinda made it difficult to keep on going. But I kept on. I was not going to let this hold me back.
Its amazing how unsettling it is to sleep in the woods. I would deny it up until after I returned from the trip, but I was afraid of the dark, especially in the woods. So sleeping alone in a tent with bears, moose, deer, loons, and all other sorts of things making noise it was easy to be unsettled, and hard to fall asleep.
It's funny to think I was so timid back then. I will walk into a creepy set of woods that is pitch black and not think twice nowadays.
On the trail in every shelter, and in some other places, there are log books. In these log books people do not simply write their name and continue on they journal or leave a message for someone behind them and they create a amazing form of communication along the entire trail. I knew at any given time stories about people a week ahead of me and a week behind me. People would warn you about strange hikers, or odd people in the town, but they also told you what town had the best food, cutest city folk, best places to resupply, best hostles, and of course the most important: where the next closest place to get Ben and Jerry's was. (but i knew none of this)
July 14th Day: 5
Hannah's Birthday been tryn' to call or text but there is no service. I Stayed at Antler's Camp Site last night. Beautiful. I could see the sun set and sun rise from my camp site. I ate lunch today at Cooper Brooke Falls. There was a perfect swimming but it was a bit too chilly. Continued on and made it to a site 3.6 miles before I wanted to stop. East Branch Lean-to is awesome. Big w/ sun roofs. Bob + John are here. Both great guys. Gave me food they had left over. And cooked me some pasta.
I fell real bad today but praise God I'm fine. Down Hill, face first, Pack over head near and between Rocks.
Battles of the day: Why cant I do whats Fun?
Falling in the woods is a humorous sounding thing until it happens to you. At this point is when the trail began to get difficult and really begin to bear down hard on my soul.
It had rained in Maine every single day in June, the only "days" they could say that it didn't were because they added together the brief hours that the rain had subsided. It left the one hundred mile wilderness in a condition that is hard to describe. Creeks turned into rivers, the trail turned into a bog, and every single root was exposed and as dangerous as black ice. There are no bridges over the rivers in Maine because the winters are so harsh that each time they build one it gets ripped to shreds. So because of the rain, the streams we were to cross were more like white water. slip once, your either off the edge of a waterfall or floating down stream, whatever the case, your journey is immediately over.
The trail condition was as if I was trying to walk through a half foot of mire at all times. shoes and legs were caked with mud. But that wasn't the worst part. Bog logs, rock hoppin', and wet roots. Bog logs are in areas that the trail is normally muddy, however because of the rain the dry spots became muddy and the muddy places became swamp. Before I knew the untold dangers of bog logs I would blindly balance my way across them. But they move, they sink, they give out. Same with rock hopping, it would remind you of crossing a river on exposed stones, or playing a 8 hour game of "don't touch the lava". But the terrible thing is sometimes mud can look like a rock, or a rock can be loose or even covered in a type of moss you have never seen before.
All this to say that falling flat on ones face, smashing limbs on rocks, in enough mud and grime to cover ones body happened a lot. The first time I fell I still remember laying there embarassed, in extreme pain, tangled up in my pack and trekking poles with a 47 pound back on my back and I couldn't get up. It was humiliating, mentally degrading. I thought I was tough, I thought I was a man, some moncho sport player,and I can't get off the ground, and can't keep my feet. I laid there and screamed for help, cursed, and finally gave up. Just worked my way around inch by inch and unbuckled my pack rolled it off and prayed. Got back up and started hiking again
I fell again ten minutes later.
at times I fell down mountains in the rain. skin grinding against bedrock.
I fell so many times that eventually instead of swearing or cursing, I began to thank the Lord. Thank him that it wasn't worse then it was. Cuz I was still hiking wasn't I? I'm still Alive right? Ahh, the slow breakdown, the renewing of the mind.
^ This is a high class way to crap in the woods. ______________________
JULY 13th, 2009
Which brings me to today. Breakfast this morning was great! Overlooked Nahmakanta Lake. Hiked 16 miles couldnt even notice. I met a fellow southbounder 2 in fact. The first joined me for awhile. he taught me some tricks and tips cuz hes flip-floped before. He told me about other people who have hiked for my reasoning. The Second was a man named "Pidgeon" he started back on June 7 but hurt his AC and started back on the same day I did. Just not on Katahdin. Both of the men stayed at the White House I met two guys from boston. Mikey and J his buddy. Said I might see em again in Shennendoah
There is something that I do not address in the journal that I think is very important. Food. Haha. I went to this preppy boarding school where we were basically pampered. Three meals a day, all you can eat, with a salad bar, a pasta bar, a coffee bar, juice, milk, soy milk, bread, anything you could want. ( not to mention that anytime during the day you could go get a PB&J, hot chocolate, coffee, or tea ) So, that said, the first day on the trail i had a cup of oatmeal, a peanut butter sandwich, and a bowl of ramen noodles and burnt myself on the stove twice. All delicious I might say, but thats what I had for the next ten days strait… Its amazing what I took for granted.
This is a good time also to bring up bugs and plants… mosquitos, black flies, poison ivy, spiders and their webs. Every time I would stop to get water or just look at something I would get bit easily five times. While hiking black flies would land on me without me noticing until they had eaten away at my skin in a one inch section that has started bleeding. Constantly I would be walking through spiderwebs until I swore I was wearing a mask made of web. Then, in a reasonable paranoia, wonder where the spider was, how big it was, if it was poisonous or not and have a "get it off me spasm"…
The southbounder I met who had already hiked the trail once said: "if you always scratch what itches then you'll be a raw piece of infected meat in less then a week and you'll quit." Those damn flies taught me patience, and that I can't go for the quick fix to feel good. It seems that on the trail all the silly proverbs I had heard growing up started to make sense.
( oh and btw i was wearing 100% DEET the whole time )
JULY 12th, 2009 - Day: 3
This is a Photo of Hurd Brooke Lean-To where I stayed my first night on the trail
written on july 13th, 2009.
Yesterday is one to remember. At least for now.
-I hiked a total of 17 miles
I got another later start. Met two Northbounders who were about to finish. One Named "sunny" (looked just like him) and the other I met at Rainbow Stream lean-to. I almost stayed the night there and I dont know but I flet god wanted me to but I did the crazy thing and hiked 8 more miles. HA! didnt make all eight. Lost my GreenCrocks! but hey I did see my first black bear. Any ways I set up camp as the sun was setting. I could barely move I was so tierd and in pain. I stayed a-top Nesuntabunt Mnt.
This is only half of the July 13th journal entry because this half talks about the twelfth. I wasn't able to journal because it started to pour when I began to set up my tent on top of the mountain. Also, I was so exhausted that I laid down and fell asleep almost immediately.
It was quite stupid of me to have attempted the extra 8 miles. I knew I should not have, I felt the Lord saying stay, but I left anyway. Look where it got me, on top of a mountain in a storm… fun. Trust God even in the things that seem irrelevant.
This picture is of the sign to the entry of the legendary 100 mile wilderness. For someone who didn't even know how to use his stove yet, this was freaky. It didn't help that the sign itself was tattered and barely standing as if it had been attacked by a bear.
July 11th Day: 2
Trip got started at 9:56am because my rents + and I needed sleep from K the day before. Also my first pack weight was 60lbs. and I was able to shave it down to 47. Todays hike was beautiful. Great weather. Ate lunch at "The Big Niagra" waterfal. Took a break at another gorgeous rapid. I walked 13 miles today. and hiked for about 7 hours. Good first day. Met. 2 other Southbounders "Griz" and his buddy. Shared the Hurd Brooke Lean- to.
This day was insane, I don't mention it in the journal, but after I saw my parents drive away I stepped into the woods and hiked strait for four hours. I felt great and confident, I said to myself this will be a piece of cake. Until I came across a sign that read "Springer Mountain 2,170.3 miles" and that's when it first began to sink in… this is gonna be a LONG 6 months.
Springer Mountain is where the Appalachian Trail ends in Georgia. The Trail starts in Maine on the top of Katahdin and goes through 14 states: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, and finally Georgia.

I have never been so emotional, scared, anxious, or speechless about something I wanted to do so badly than I am at this very moment. My bag's sort of packed but positioning will change + things will be taken out. I hurt cuz I never have been away from home, friends, family, for this amount of time. Well, I just gotta let go of all of it. the girl especially. Dear Lord, We got this.
July 10th day: 1
Find the unappreciated thing and show people why it deserves attention. You will cause an avalanche.
Is this Brooks Ritter?! I think yes.

1. Are both vestibules facing in the same direction?2. Can you see through the side and into the tent on the side without the vestibule?3. Are the doors equipped with the double door thing where the inside door is the no-see-um bug netting which allows the outside door to be unzipped for airflow/light but the inside door still keeps the bugs out?
