The man charged with an October murder in Downtown Lafayette is back behind bars on a warrant stemming from a 2011 bar fight. Kyle Toups was wanted for aggravated battery in connection with a fight at Dodge's Ice House in Cankton. St. Landry Parish sheriff's deputies say by the time they arrived, Toups had already left the scene. According to officials in the sheriff's office, the warrant was not issued until this past November after he was identified by eyewitnesses.
Toups faces second-degree murder charges in connection with the October stabbing death of Michael Luke Darby of Eunice.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Mustache You to Wed Save the Date Magnets I'm so happy I decided to shop around and look at other websites for Save-the-Dates. I have been in love with the mustache and lips for a long time and I love that they are coming back in trend. I found a mustache and lips magnet with no picture and I really liked it but wanted one with a picture. I searched some more and found one! I love that we could personalize it with our own wedding colors. We used a rustic save-the-date sign in our engagement pictures and the part of the design that normally has the date printed I changed to read "We mustache you to....". It all came together perfectly. The price was decent and the size of the magnets is perfect, not too big and not too small. I will definitely come back to Magnet Street for future needs.
Great Magnets!!

Vintage Vegas Save the Date Cards We will be married in Las Vegas in a very 'non-vegas' wedding. These cards are for our reception back home which is themed around all the fun and glitz of Vegas. Feathers, gaming tables, and the like. They were easy to personalize and fit the fun Vegas idea perfectly! You will love the cute box they arrive in and the quality.

Morning Star Click 1/2" x 5" Click Strand Carbonized Bamboo
Click here for detailed information.
Morning Star Bamboo Flooring is one of the best bamboo floors on the market today. It is produced from old growth bamboo reeds that are at least 4 years old, thereby increasing hardness. Morning Star Bamboo Flooring creates a naturally beautiful and ecologically friendly product that evokes a feeling of luxury.
Quick Highlights:
To make strand bamboo, shredded bamboo fibers are compressed under extreme heat and pressure. This manufacturing process yields flooring that is even harder and more dense than traditional bamboo floors. Available in a variety of colors to complement and décor, all Morning Star strand bamboo products are finished with premium coating and backed by a 30 year warranty.
And, since bamboo is a naturally sustainable grass that re-grows spontaneously after harvest, you can feel good about making an environmentally friendly flooring decision.
Not enough and want more?
We caught up with real Lumber Liquidators' customers who volunteered to discuss their floor shopping, buying and installation experiences. In no way did these customers receive compensation for their kind words. (They're speaking straight from the heart.)
QUALITY GUARANTEE: This flooring is constructed and tested to meet or exceed industry standards for emissions.

family room and sun room
Best Uses
Installed in family room replacing carpet.
Once you get the first line installed the rest goes quickly. use the sample piece to tap boards together for tight joints. Wear gloves once you cut a piece the rough edge will leave splinters in your hand. No problem with splinters once installed just when handling. each box weighs about 40 pounds my order was 18 boxes room 23x14 not much waste still have 8 whole boards. Picked up order from Riverhead store salespeople very helpful even load the boxes into your vehicle.
Best Uses
I could not be happier. The floors are just beautiful, just what I'd hoped.
Best Uses
This is the perfect light DIY project for your home. Highly recommend it and it's super simple to install over a weekend.
Best Uses
We replaced carpet in three bedrooms and a hallway that lead to carpeted stairs (we kept the stairs carpet for now).
The flooring itself went down easily. The click installation made it a breeze. We could lay a board faster than it took to cut it to size.
The biggest problem with installing the floor, was not the flooring itself, but our house. The sub-floor was not level, so most of the time was spent removing carpeting and leveling the sub-floor.
Once all the prep work was done, laying the floor went quickly. A total of 600 sq ft was laid. 2 Rooms and the hallway were completing with 2 people and the third bedroom by 1 person.
Total time to install the flooring was about 10 hours. Total project time was about 40 hours.
The overall look of the flooring is amazing with the rich brown color that looks different in different lights.
Service and delivery comments:
We ordered the flooring on a Sunday and it was at the store by Wednesday. We asked our store for a quiet pickup time (early morning for our store) and we had to take two trips because it was too much weight for our SUV.
One box was torn and the top board was damaged but they just grabbed another box for us, so just keep an eye out for it.
They loaded up the SUV for my wife so I didn't have to worry about being there to receive the shipment, just taking it to the second story of our house.
Best Uses
Flooring was were nice and colors between boards were very close .

Best Uses
the most durable and lovely flooring in our home...
Best Uses
Replaced a dog-hair matted carpet in the living room. This was easy to install, the click construction was much easier than a similar product I installed 10 yrs. ago. The urethane moisture barrier/glue was stiff going down, but the boards adhered well and any clean-up was easily done with the provided product. The finish is VERY hard, and the dogs haven't be able to mar the surface with their long nails. Clean-up of hair is now EASY with the Bellawood cleaner and mop.
Best Uses
used in our master bedroom

or click here to ask our Customer Service Team
Q:Can the Bamboo Click Flooring be used in a bathroom?
1 answer
A:In half baths okay however in full baths bamboo is not recommended. Bamboo and Wood flooring can be installed through out the home, but there are concerns about installation in bathrooms. Bathrooms are areas of high moisture. With full baths there are concerns with water spills, high humidity due to steamy showers, and toilet over flows. Elevated moisture in a full bath can create finish issues, board warping, and buckling. When installing in these areas extreme caution is advised and it is recommended to choose wood flooring with high stability. Make sure you have good air flow and use mats to absorb moisture when coming out of the tube or shower. Many floors will not be warranted in a bathroom application. An alternative would be our Tranquility vinyl Click flooring. The Tranquility vinyl click flooring looks like real wood, but will not be affected by moisture like wood floors.
Q:What is the best type of flooring to use in a kitchen.
1 answer
A:This product question would be better answered by our Sales Department, they are more familiar with all of our flooring products and can better assist you with your questions.
Q:We installed the Morning Star bamboo ourselves as a floating floor. This floor creaks pretty much every step you take. Is there something we should have done to prevent this? If this is how floating floors are supposed to work, I doubt we will ever install another one. The floor is beautiful, just noisy.
1 answer
A:Please call our Tech and Installation Dept. @ (800) 366-4204 for a detailed answer to your question. Thank you for your inquiry.
Q:Can this click-lock, floating bamboo floor be sanded, since in is not nailed down?
1 answer
A:Yes this product can be refinished. To restore the original shine of a solid hardwood, bamboo, cork, and engineered floor a screen and re-coat may be needed or a complete refinishing. A professional sand and finish expert would have to make the determination on site on which sanding process will be needed or which can be done to restore the floors shine. Not all engineered floors can be refinished because of having a thin veneer layer.
Q:I am installing 1/2" X 5" strand bamboo,(#10023754) and the installation guide says to leave 1/2" expansion for 1/2" product. Is that 1/2" on all sides or 1/4" on all sides for 1/2" total?
1 answer
A:Leave 1/2" to any verticle obstruction, that is 1/2" on all sides.
Q:Our Morning Star 1/2" X 5" click strand carbonized bamboo got wet from an open window, we now have a 5' X 6' cupped section in the middle of the floor. Can it be salvaged?
1 answer
A:Cupping is generally a permanent condition that can be remedied by replacing the damaged boards. Instructions can be found on Flooring 101 - http://www.lumberliquidators.com/ll/flooring/Flooring101
Q:Can this be installed over a tile floor?
1 answer
A:Please call our Tech and Installation Dept. @ (800) 366-4204 for a detailed answer to your question. Thank you for your inquiry.
Q:Considering bamboo in our fellowship hall, kitchen, and hallways in our church. There will be a lot of traffic, moving of tables and chairs, etc. Would scratches be a big problem creating an ongoing problem of repair or would you recommend another product?
1 answer
A:This product question would be better answered by our Sales Department, they are more familiar with all of our flooring products and can better assist you with your questions.
Q:We're going to install #100237654 in our home. We have a plywood subfloor and a climate controlled basement below that is mostly storage so noise isn't a concern. What underlayment should we use? Working on a budget so we're hoping the low-end one would be sufficient.
1 answer
A:You can use either standard Foam Underlayment, Eco Silent Sound, Bellawood Premium Underlayment, or Quiet Walk underlayment
Q:Can you install this product over a radiant heat floor?
1 answer
A:Bamboo is not recommended over radiant heat. Thank you for your inquiry

Title: Great Costume
Date: Oct 09, 2012
I bought this costume for my 10 year old son because he loves werewolves. When he received the costume, he loved it and had to try it on. It fit great! And at the price I got it, it was a steal! The reason I give the quality a 4 is because the mask was a little asymmetrical, but it is easy to fix, if you want. The costume is just a great item altogether, and I know my little "Wolfman" will be scaring up some frights this Halloween with it!!

The mask was unwearable. The eyes were not made correctly and one eye hole wouldn't stay open. I tried to reshape and the plastic wriped. I had to invest more $'s to get a new mask. So I paid $40+ for a furry shirt and claws that wouldn't stay on. I wouldn't recommend to anyone.

Quietly, over the past two seasons, receiver Shane Opitz has established himself as one of the top receivers in Colorado 4A football. The 6-0 180 pound senior does not wow with measurables, but he always gets the job done.
Last night, while leading his team to a 43-18 win in their league opener against Denver South, Opitz had eight catches for 143 receiving yards. Three of those catches went for touchdowns. Heritage QB Mitch Griebel delivered all night hitting on 15 of 26 passes for 247 yards and the three TDs to Opitz. Griebel also added 60 rush yards as well as an interception on defense.
Although South had a tough time most of the night falling behind 28 to 6 by the end of the first half, there were some bright spots. Senior linebacker Alphonso Campbell registered eight tackles and two sacks. Also keep a look out for freshman Phillip Lindsay who made plays as a runner, returner and receiver.
Opitz, Griebel and crew will have very little time to rest as they take on talented Golden team that is coming off a loss to defending 4A champs Wheat Ridge. South has a chance to get in the win column this week taking on a Green Mountain team that has yet to pick up a win this season.

December 20, 2012
The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) approved the 2013 budget of $1.39 billion, a spending plan that maintains current service levels, freezes base fares, and continues investment to modernize and repair infrastructure to best serve customers.The board of directors passed the budget following two public hearings on the 2013 budget held in December. The budget eliminates a projected deficit of $165 million through management efficiencies, improved labor cost management and a slight increase in CTA fare pass prices to bring them in line with other major U.S. cities, the first increase in four years. Revenues from fare passes will rise by 10%. The 2013 budget is the second consecutive budget that preserves capital investment in the CTA's bus and rail systems for years to come by not diverting scarce capital funds to balance the operating budget, a past practice that delayed critical infrastructure projects.According to the Chicago Civic Federation, the 2013 CTA budget is the first structurally balanced budget in seven years. Between 2008 and 2011, the CTA borrowed more than half a billion dollars to pay for operating expenses, often at the expense of capital investments in the system's aging infrastructure.The budget reflects a historic tentative labor agreement with the Amalgamated Transit Union Locals #241 and #308, which are CTA's largest unions and represent more than 7,000 bus and rail operators. The four-year tentative agreement slows the rate of growth in health care spending and emphasizes preventive care, among changes shaving approximately $50 million off the 2013 budget deficit. Agreements with a dozen other CTA unions resulted in similar changes contributing nearly $10 million of savings.The budget also reflects management reforms that have already been put into place and continued reforms, including improved supply management practices, which are expected to save the agency an additional $50 million of costs annually. The third component of CTA's strategy to ensuring fiscal stability includes modest price changes to its fare passes that will generate about $56 million of new revenue for the agency. Base fares remain unchanged at $2 for bus and $2.25 for rail. The prices for passes (3-day, 7-day and 30-day) will be increased by $6, $5 and $14, respectively, but still will provide significant discounts to frequent transit users. The one-day pass, primarily used by tourists, will have its price increased to $10. CTA pass discounts are currently the second-most generous of major U.S. cities.An additional fare change that was approved by the board was a $5 fare on transit trips originating at the O'Hare Blue Line station, which includes a $2.75 surcharge in addition to the base full fare of $2.25. After reviewing public feedback on the proposed $5 fare, the board agreed that the CTA will work with the Chicago Department of Aviation to develop a system to exempt employees working on O'Hare International Airport property. Until that system is developed, the board approved a temporary solution through July 1, 2013 that will exempt all riders using Chicago Card or Chicago Card Plus cards from paying the full $5 fare, giving airport workers more options to avoid the surcharge that is intended primarily for visitors and infrequent users. CTA will work with employers that have operations at O'Hare to encourage employees who currently use magnetic strip pay-per-ride cards to sign up for Chicago Card or Chicago Card Plus.
The budget also includes fare reductions for Chicago Public Schools students. To encourage school attendance, students currently paying 85 cents will only pay 75 cents.The CTA's fiscal reforms are significant considering the agency's chronic underfunding under a 30-year-old state funding formula, which ignores both number of rides and ridership capacity. CTA provides 82% and 58%, respectively, in exchange for just 49% of state funding. Also, state and federal mandates require the CTA to provide more than $100 million each year in free and heavily discounted rides. The state provides only $28 million to help offset the cost of its mandates.Most significantly, the General Assembly in 2008 — just before the Great Recession ground the economy to a halt — required immediate and fully-funded pension and health care trusts. Although new revenue was passed as part of the 2008 mandate, it fell $100 million short of covering the new costs. In 2013, the CTA's operating budget will grow by $32 million because of mandates from the 2008 legislation.In addition to notable fiscal reforms, CTA continues its aggressive plan to modernize its transit system. Over the last 18 months Mayor Emanuel and the CTA have launched more than $2 billion in modernization projects, upgrading aging infrastructure and improving the customer experience. The 2013-2017 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) totals $2.8 billion, with projects designed to modernize aging CTA infrastructure, overhaul and replace fleet vehicles, and bring the system into a state of good repair. The projects represent more than $4 billion in modernization work that has already begun under Mayor Emanuel, or will in the next couple of years.The CTA has financed more transit police and built a sophisticated camera surveillance network that's driven down crime. More than 100 rail station improvement projects have been completed; replacement of the bus and rail fleet is underway; and contracts have been let to eradicate slow zones. Work is under preparation for construction of a new railroad on Chicago's south side. Better management has reduced absenteeism and workers compensation costs, and a modern supply chain is nearly in place. New technologies, from Bus and Train Tracker to contactless fare media, are making CTA travel more convenient, safer, and efficient.Ridership has increased significantly in the past 19 months, jumping by 5.4% or more than 28 million new rides.

30 years of the Apple Lisa and the Apple IIe
18.01.2013, von Benj Edwards
At its annual shareholders' meeting on January 19, 1983, Apple announced two new products that would play a pivotal role in the future of the company: the Apple Lisa, Apple's original GUI-based computer and the precursor to the Macintosh; and the Apple IIe, which represented a natural evolution to the highly successful Apple II computer line.
One of these platforms met an early end, leaving behind technology that shaped the entire industry. The other, built on proven technology from an engineering genius, remained a reliable breadwinner during uncertain times in the early life of the Macintosh and carried Apple's most popular 8-bit computer line to its natural conclusion.
Remembering the Lisa
The Lisa introduced a completely new paradigm--the mouse-driven graphical user interface--to the world of mainstream personal computers. (Note that the release of the Xerox Star workstation in 1981 marked the commercial debut of the mouse-driven GUI.) The Lisa's elevated retail price of $9995 at launch (about $23,103 in today's dollars), slow processor speed (5MHz), and problematic custom disk drives hobbled the groundbreaking machine as soon as it reached the market.
Despite those drawbacks, the Lisa made a huge splash in the industry in 1983 thanks to a bitmapped graphical operating system that utilized icons, pull-down menus, and overlapping windows to represent and manipulate information instead of the then-familiar convention of typing text-based commands. The interface launched a revolution in the way consumers interacted with personal computers.
The impact of the Lisa's GUI was so profound that dozens of companies jumped on board with imitative and catch-up products in the mouse-driven GUI space--not the least of which was Microsoft, which first announced its Microsoft Windows operating environment in November 1983, ten months after the Lisa's debut.

This school is fantastic. My son went to private school and they were concerned about his social skills (to the point in which we saw a psychologist and had to get him tested for autism). Fox was very willing to help and quickly placed him in a class. He does not have autism and has done so well in this environment. All of his teachers have been wonderful and he will not need additional help when starting Kindergarten. We have been so happy with this school and the district that we are thinking about sending him to public school for his education, which before wasn't even an option for us.
My son started going here when he was three when he transitioned from First Steps. The teachers and staff are wonderful and very friendly. They are good at keeping us parents informed.
This is a great school for what it is intended. I have acousin who goes here and my daught will be starting here in february but it's not a normal school. It is for children who need early special education. For example my daughter does not talk and she is 3 years old. My cousin is 5 and has a behavior and sensory disorder.

Book 1
The Blue Ocean's Peace
Liana works at the beach and looks like any other college student. She's blond, blue-eyed and very pretty. She works along with Russian students whom the hotel hired for the summer. Liana is very intelligent and speaks several languages including perfect English. All her friends believe Liana is Russian, as she knows their language and customs by heart. However Liana isn't Russian, but a Chechen Muslim. Her goal is simple- she wants herself and her mother to survive. She considers herself a pawn in a cruel and deadly game. The rest of the world knows her as a terrorist.
Liana's looks and demeanor hide the fact that she has spent endless years in combat seeing every horror known to man. She has fought in three separate countries and is now on an assignment in the United States. She will be ordered to befriend a U.S. Senator and join his staff. Her mission will be to place, and detonate, a tiny nuclear bomb in the Capital while the Senate is in session. The ultimate goal of her mission will be to destroy the foundation of the U.S. government in one brutal strike.
The Cabin is the story of three individuals, Sue, Ethan, and Anna attempting to survive the Alaskan winter in a log cabin that they built. Sue and Ethan are childhood friends and together they hitchhike across the country, purchase a truck in Oregon, and travel to Fairbanks, Alaska. In Fairbanks, they meet Sue's companion Anna. Anna is a beautiful, but terribly troubled, woman who has spent the winter gathering supplies and gear to outfit the adventure. The three overcome a host of initial problems and travel deep into the wilderness. They attempt to build a log cabin, and begin to try to live out their lives. The three find themselves plagued by building the cabin, the harsh conditions they live under, and their own interactions. The greatest danger the three face is a secret that Anna has kept hidden from everyone.

As Nebraska's United States Senator, Jim Jenkins won't work for political parties, but will work with Republicans and Democrats to find solutions for key issues and enhance our nation's well-being. Jim will work for the Sensible Center.
Nebraska is at the heart of our nation in so many ways. In what we produce, in what we value and in the way we approach our work — what needs to be done.
Thank you for taking time to visit our website and learn more about our campaign to elect a true, centrist to the United States Senate from Nebraska. Growing up on a ranch in Custer County Nebraska taught me the importance of hard work, overcoming adversity and working together as a family and as a community. My father, Wayne who grew up during the Great Depression and served his country during WWII, taught my brother Stuart and I to think for ourselves and warned us against following the herd. My mother, Frances, made sure the supper table conversations were educational – we discussed business, crop prices, history and politics. This campaign is dedicated to my mother and father and those like them who overcame tough times, defend our freedoms, built the economic foundation on which our great country now stands and demonstrated the greater good when communities and a nation works together. In that spirit of community, I am running for the United States Senate – as a non-partisan – because one of our great democratic institutions, the United States Congress is bound up by gridlock and partisan warfare.

Tennessee running back Rajion Neal (20) fakes carrying the ball while quarterback Justin Worley (14) keeps it during Saturday's season-opening 45-0 win over Austin Peay. Neal's early 47-yard touchdown run was the longest play in the rout.
KNOXVILLE -- In one half of football, Tennessee's starting offense rolled up 42 points and averaged nearly 8 yards on each snap.
The Volunteers needed just two big plays for that production.
They know they'll need more of what first-year coach Butch Jones calls "big splash plays" as the season progresses and the level of competition increases.
"We didn't have many opportunities to take shots like that," quarterback Justin Worley said during the Vols' weekly news conferences Monday. "In the flow of the game there's opportunities to take shots like that in different situations that we'll be faced with that'll call for those. All it is is preparation during the week for those types of plays and execution.
"There wasn't really the need or the opportunity to have those type of plays, and hopefully this week we can work on them and have an opportunity come Saturday."
In the 45-0 win against Austin Peay, Tennessee scored on a 47-yard run by tailback Rajion Neal on the Vols' first series and had a 23-yard hookup between Worley and freshman receiver Marquez North that set up Marlin Lane's 4-yard touchdown run.
Last season's prolific offense had 66 plays of 20 or more yards in 12 games for an average of 5.5. Cincinnati's offense under Jones averaged 6.2 such plays, though the Bearcats averaged nearly 36 fewer yards of offense per game than the Vols.
With the ground game with Neal and Lane and the Vols' veteran offensive line pushing around the smaller Governors' front, Tennessee attempted only four deep passes, according to Jones.
"I felt like we stayed pretty simple," right tackle Ja'Wuan James said, "so we just wanted to run the ball and establish the line of scrimmage."
The most notable missed opportunity came when Worley slightly underthrew North on what would have been about a 45-yard gain had the freshman not let the ball slip through his hands.
"There was a couple of deep balls that we would like to have back," he said. "We have to be able to complete those. The overall big-play makeup of our football team, we have to have big splash football plays. In the world of college football, you can't play perfect. When the play is blocked for 4 yards, we can't get 4 yards. We need to get 6. We need to get 7 yards.
"We have to have the ability to throw a three-step slant or a 5-yard hitch and turn a 5-yard gain into a 30-yard gain. Our running backs have to do a good job of making the second- and third-level defenders miss. You look at successful offenses, they have the ability to score on any area of the field, and that's an area that we have to grow and continue to get better."
Tennessee's coaches stress catching the ball, tucking it and turning upfield to the receivers on nearly every repetition of every drill or play in practice, but the Vols' wideouts didn't manage many yards after catches in the opener.
Worley, who completed all but two of his 13 throws, took some of the blame for that.
"There were a few throws that I missed," he said. "I missed targets that could have ended up in big plays. I missed Marquez twice, behind both times, and I think that's still just trying to get a feel for his route-running.
"In practice, you may get the same route that you throw in a game, but depending on how tired these guys are in practice, it might not be as fast as you're going to get in the game. Hopefully we have an opportunity to work on these full-speed routes in a game-type of situation."
In the past couple of seasons, receiver Justin Hunter had the ability to take the top off the opposing defense, and Cordarrelle Patterson was a threat to score from anywhere on any touch of the ball last season.
None of the playmakers on this Tennessee jump out as having that level of home-run ability, but Jones sees potential.
"We have some individuals that are capable of making big splash football plays," he said. "There were a couple of times where we have the perfect play and we have an M.A. [missed assignment]. That's supposed to be a deep football.
"It's a young receiver making a young individual's mistake, but we can't have those mistakes."

England Women Under 20 Head Coach Amanda Bennett has made four changes for Saturday's return clash against France U20s at Esher RFC (kick-off 2pm).
Following a 27-0 defeat to France earlier this month, Bennett has called up Lichfield's Emma Harbage, Bristol's Devon Holt and Loughborough's Scarlet Cooper-Wall from the bench, while Worcester's Emily Wood switches to the right wing. Worcester lock Courtney Gill will captain the side.
On the bench, two players could be set to make their international debuts with Lichfield duo Amy Cockayne and Sarah Nicholas named in the match-day 23.
Bennett said: "It's important that players selected for the U20s programme are exposed to competition so we are looking to the new players selected to step up and perform."
England couldn't cope with an on-form French team two weeks ago – Les Bleus ran in five tries to maintain their three-year unbeaten run.
"We learned from the first game in Beauvais and we're expecting players who faced France last time to take this on board," added Bennett. "The Under 20 programme is about player development and there is no better opportunity to show progress than to face the same opposition again within three weeks.
"We certainly hope we can to close the gap on France this time around. One of the biggest lessons learned was the cost of individual errors and how few opportunities teams get at this level. Changes in one or two key areas can make a big difference on the day."

Every year as we start trying to erase evidence of winter on our lacklustre skin, someone comes out with a self-tanner that supposedly smells great. Often that new formula does smell nice (unless vanilla-esque notes are involved, but that's just me), when you sniff the stuff in the tube and when you first put it on. But later comes that smell, that distinctive, musky, chemical odour, plus whatever potent perfume the brand used as a scent mask. Ack. But this year, one collection is going beyond the "smells-great" strategy. Jergens Natural Glow is making a new no-odour self tanner claim.
jergens no-odour self tanner
"The main colourant used in self-tanners is dihydroxyacetone, also known as DHA," says Alisa Smith, senior manager of skin care research and development at KAO US, which owns Jergens. "The odour occurs at the same time as the colour is developing, and it's as a result of the DHA interacting with the proteins that are in the skin." That's why it's so hard to make that smell go away — it's physiological. So a no-odour self-tanner claim is big.
Body chemistry dictates just how pungent That Smell can get. Some people found success when gradual self-tanners launched — the reduced amount of DHA in the mix was enough. Others do very well with formulas that contain fragrances designed to camouflage self-tanner's signature notes. And then there are people like me, whose body chemistry puts up a smelly fight every. single. time. whatever the formula. Just like it is with perfume, "it's all about the chemistry of the body and how the formulas interact with the skin, so it does vary from person to person," Smith confirms.
However, the reformulated no-odour self tanner in the Jergens Natural Glow lineup doesn't rely only on pleasant, nose-distracting fragrance. Rather, it focusses on blocking odour that arises as the chemical reaction begins in the skin. Ingredient details are proprietary, but according to Smith, the Jergens Natural Glow no-odour technology includes "materials that absorb the odour and materials that help block odour that may be left over."
Does Jergens no-odour self tanner work? For some people, it will. For me, it didn't quite. Within an hour or two of having applied the no-odour Jergens Natural Glow Foaming Daily Moisturizer in Fair to Medium ($12.99, drugstores), that darned smell slowly began to waft up from my skin. But the odour-blocking technology does seem to work — the chemical scent did not reach the overpowering strength of any other gradual formula I've used. That's something. Something promising.
Does your body chemistry put up a smelly self-tanner fight? Would noticeably reduced odour be enough for you? Have you tried Jergens no-odour self tanner yet??
Jergens Natural Glow (from $8.99 to $12.99) is available at drugstores and mass retailers.

Say no to chained CPI
A flawed policy initiative called the "chained CPI" is gaining steam in Washington budget talks that would shortchange Tennesseans who receive federal benefits such as Social Security and federal annuities by low balling their annual cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs). Chained CPI supporters have tried to minimize the consequences it will have on seniors, retired federal employees, and veterans by calling it a "technical adjustment" or "better measure of inflation."
When you cut through the rhetoric, the truth is that the chained CPI is only an adjustment in that it means smaller COLAs each year. It hurts every American — particularly our most vulnerable — in a major way that worsens over time.
Over 25 years, Chained CPI would rob a senior earning $15,000 in Social Security benefits of more than $23,000. Just think of how many coupons that senior would have to clip to make up for the loss over his/her retired years. Federal annuitants who don't receive Social Security would see a loss of $48,000 over 25 years.
I urge Tennessee lawmakers to reject the Chained CPI and provide America's seniors, retired veterans and public servants, and individuals with disabilities the income protection they have earned and deserve.
LARRY MINNIEAR, Hixson
Obama's race and popularity
Kudos to Maureen Dowd and her editorial in Tuesday's Times Free Press (Aug. 27). She writes about Rep. Kerry Bentivolio (Mich.) and his attempt to impeach President Obama. He and many of his fellow God and tea party gang, and those who constantly write negatively about our president, need to come clean and say what they really want to say: that we dislike the President because he is black. Many blacks already realize this, and now a white woman states the obvious.
Stop hiding behind issues such as the economy, government spending and Obamacare as reasons to dislike him. At least the KKK lets you know where they are coming from, and I respect that. The economy will never get better regardless of who is in office. The government has and always will over spend. Obamacare may not be perfect, but I don't see the GOP coming up with a better way to help Americans. Stop hiding behind issues that in all fairness the President cannot do much about because of the GOP-controlled Congress. Come out of the closet, and say what you really feel. No president has been criticized more in my lifetime as has President Obama. His only fault is presiding while black.
So, I take it Mr. Terrell's not a fan of MLK, Jr's plea to view the content of character rather than content of skin? I can't disagree with Obama because of his horrible policies economic policies ruining my future as a 24 year old? I can't disagree with Obama on his huge government spending? I can't disagree with Obama because my employer is now trying to decide whether to keep offering health care or dump me into Obamacare? I'm white. So, I guess I'm a racist according to the world of Mr. Terrell and those who blindly support Barack Obama.
It really is eye-opening.
SaraB, you poor, pathetic tool of the misinformed and uninformed. Your talking points come straight from the right-wing pundits. The previous administration drove us into the ditch with their unfunded wars and tax cuts for the precious top 1%. They drove college loans into the deep abyss. Under the current administration, we have gained millions of jobs, instead of losing 800,000 a month under GWB/The Dick and are well on our way out of the housing crisis. The stock market is at his highest level EVER. Get some real facts and don't get on here and show all your ignorance.
anniebelle, our country is sinking economically. "The stock market is at highest level ever." clearly you do not understand economics or facing a static job market with a college degree. The concerns raised by younger Americans are valid you old Dem Hag downing this young woman.
With every day that passes as I watch the events that unfold whether in Syria or in Chattanooga, I am very glad I am informed enough and able to think critically enough to reject the victim mentality of the Democratic Party and all that it represents.
SaraB and aae.... you cannot refute facts with more of your idiotic rhetoric. If you have a set of facts, present them.
SaraB wrote: "Proverbs 26:4 When arguing with fools, don't answer their foolish arguments, or you will become as foolish as they are."
When reason fails, throw out quotes from the Bible. See how well it worked for George W. Bush?
SaraB, so no facts, huh? You resort to some fairy tale foolishness. Nice try though, maybe you can play again.
anniebelle, the left loves to talk about the 800,000 jobs per month as if it was multiple months. It was 800,000 ONE month and that is when there were 20,000,000 more people working than there is now. In addition, well over 50% of the new jobs in this "recovery" have been part time and/or temporary employment. Whenever you try to go to one of these large corporations today more and more you have to go through a temporary agency. Then most of those will NEVER be hired on full time. Insurance benefits are paid at a fraction of what they were then and because of Obamacare, the future of employer provided insurance is certainly in peril.
Who would have ever thought that Jan 2009 was the "good old days"? It was good compared to now and there is not one indicator that you can show that will prove otherwise other than the shedding of 800,000 jobs for that ONE month.
This job creation work of Obama placed multiple trillion dollar debts on us which has resulted in higher prices for people who make less than in 2008. Will the rich suffer? No, the poor and middle class who spend most of their money on gas and food. Liberals do not understand this: When the government spends money, that IS taxation.
There he is. Then also there she is. Whomever they may be. At the starting line. On Your mark, get ready, get set.......GO! Is it a King? Jack? Ace? Queen? Number card? I don't know, but once again they say, 'Put me in the RACE Coach, I want to Play'.
Now, 'Riddle This'; What kind of Card is this which has Played in many, many, world events? The Excuse Card? The Blame Card? The Avoiding The Truth Card? The Poor Pitiful Me Card? All of the above?
Why, there it goes! being Played Again, and again, and again, through the decades...It's THE RACE CARD!
Ken ORR
TheKommander, I am a proud 'card carrying' member of the Reality Based Community. I know the facts about where we were in this country in 2009, going over the cliff, bailing out banksters, stealing mortgages from the poor and middle class, don't try your re-write of history, please, I'm on to your right-wing propaganda and always have been. My children's 401-K's and their pension accounts are finally about to recover after the Bush/Cheney cabal pulled their wall street scam on the uninformed and unknowing so they could stuff a few billion in their pockets, and gave HUGE tax cuts to the wealthiest 1% in the midst of two unfunded and unfounded wars (that's TAXATION on the poor and middle class )-- those are facts so deal with them.
I hear tell George Zimmerman had a black ancestor back in the greats, so anyone who criticizes Mr Zimmerman is a racist, right?
AndrewLohr said...
"I hear tell George Zimmerman had a black ancestor back in the greats . . ."
So did you Lohr. It was in Africa several hundred-thousand years ago.
No. It means that Lohr knows nothing about science and history outside his narrow fairy-tales about some Sky Daddy as reality.
It also means that my ancestors and yours were Africans. Or are you as limited in thought as Lohr?
" degage said...
DD, for what any of us know, our ancestors could have been green or purple people eaters. Neither of us knows what color we were thousands of years ago. We can only guess, unless a little birdie told you."
Didn't make it to science class, degage? Or was creationism taught instead of science?
But thanks for the laughs.
degage said...
Annie, card carrying what? communist party?
annie said. . .proud 'card carrying' member of the Reality Based Community -- you're doing your best right wing re-write of what I said. Please don't be so juvenile, it's unbecoming.
degage, all the evidence (fossil, genetic, etc) collected to date says that hominids originated in tropical africa, and because of the climate were most definitely dark. Not that any of this matters today: all humans are closely related to each other, with the specific feature differences attributed to small numbers of gene differences. Why we still quibble about race is purely for cultural, not biological reasons.
Ike, I am well aware that people evaluated. They have evaluated in just the last 100 years. What science has never come up with is the answer of what came first 'the chicken or the egg. If we evolved from an atom, where did the atom come from. I really don't care what color people were thousands of years ago. We are what we are and we can't change what we turned out to be, Black, white, yellow, or red. What I said earlier is we could have been any color even green.
DD, Glad you had a good laugh, we all need to lighten up a bit. life is to short.
I don't mind being evaluated. Happens all the time.
Seriously, we know quite a bit about how humans came about. But that detracts from the discussion at hand. But I stay with my original premise that racism is more about culture; the races different in only the tiniest ways. Would we see the day when we all see each other as people, rather than as stereotypes. I can hope, can't I?
So the extent of these comments is just binary answers? "Obama = bad" or "No like Obama = racist?" Chained CPI mean anything to anyone here? It will impact you long after the last president, this president or the next have retired to their library.

Other than that, your gear looks fine for all forms of tanking. I would guess it's just a mental block.
Other than that, your gear looks fine for all forms of tanking. I would guess it's just a mental block.
My threat is fine, except when the pally tank is being a dumbass and decides to dps with wings up along with righteous fury 15 seconds after we pull. Other than that, I'm not worried about threat. Losing mark of blood and rune tap is a HUGE cost, as self heals is the strength of blood. DRW is there to put more diseases up on the target, acting as another cooldown to chain with Empower Rune Weapon for bigger heals from Deathstrike during tough, expected burst damage such as Plasma Blast from Mimiron. Not sure if DRW's diseases improve DS, but one point certainly can't do much harm.
if your tank spec really didnt have maxed points in Toughness and Anticipation, you pretty much fail at designing tank specs.
The Black Heart (Estimated 45sec ICD) Note that if you're not chain pulling, you eat up some of the ICD timer between pulls, making it seem to proc 'every pull'.
If you have a free point, DRW can be a useful spot, but there are better options.
@Esch: Mark of Blood is very situational, and helpful in many fights. I use it more as a raid tool than a cooldown such as IBF. While MoB wouldn't be useful if I was at 20k health and the boss was about to hit me for 21k, it would be useful if I dodged/parried the last 8 attacks and the likeliness of a chain of damaging blows would land is high. 4% of my max health every time I take damage is very helpful, and it's often just enough to give the healers extra space.
An added perspective is if the boss hits for 20k, and I get healed for 2k, it's a 10% damage reduction that can be boosted by abilities such as Guardian Spirit, Vampiric Blood, and anything else that increases healing taken.
It just adds up and a use-talent is more effective than a passive one, when used correctly.
The list could go on forever. I think use abilities are great, don't get me wrong, but having the general survivability ALL THE TIME is WAY more important.
Personally, I dropped MoB for the reasons listed above by Esch...2k on a 50k tank is really almost nothing, plus if youre gonna die from the hit, that heal will never get to you, therefore it was wasted completely. You are far better off with the fully talented Rune Tap followed by an IBF and a pot than dropping MoB on a boss that hits for 25k.
DRW is a completely useless tanking talent and I find it quite disturbing that anyone would think that one talent point in there is more effective than one talent point in something that may actually assist your tanking.
Sorry if it sounds douchey, but seriously...DRW? Come on.......
Zivh <Blind Fate> US-Norgannon-Alliance
I use my abilities correct all the time, I racial out of stuns when needed, I do pop it in time, I monitor GCD and GCD does not effect Rune Tap anyways, and use Blood Tap if I need a quick Rune Tap/Mark, I know where all my buttons are, and I'm not a clicker.
2k on a 50k tank indeed isn't much, but keep in mind that it's 20 damaging attacks, without a cooldown. This can make a big difference in any situation. Any way you look at it, 2k heal instantly after a hit = 2k less damage taken, unless the hit kills. If the hit kills, one point in another talent wouldn't have saved me anyways. 2k less damage taken = completely worth it for just ONE point and ONE blood rune.
I'll probably spec out of DRW next time I respec, but I'm not going to respec for one point. I hadn't known the diseases DRW applies don't effect my own DS. Thanks for that information!
I just logged out with my new defense gear on, i am -1 def cap w/o relic on proc. Which is never. So far I have been feeling less like butter.
I noticed in the two links you provided that your armory is showing a hit cap of 5% (203) I am new to tanking and tnew to wow for that matter and i am not 100 percent but isnt the hit cap for level 83 mobs 8 percent? this could be why you were missing the boss. Like i said i am new and trying to help and I also need help..
I was wondering if anyone has any insight onto a good solid build with the new changes from 3.2 I see a lot of people talking about the changes etc.. and what works for them but have yet to see a solid build or list of tank builds since the new patch.
I'm having the same problems are described here and I dont think any amount of gear / talent tweaking is going to resolve this.
I went into the patch as Blood tank but was getting instagibbed while 5 man heroic farming with Ulduar geared healers and DPS. I changed to Frost (Unbreakakle armor is very good against getting hit lots of times a small amount) and found my survivabilty to be better, but still not what I would expect for my gear.
I still feel incredibly weak compared to my guild's warrior and pally tank, despite having virtually the same level of gear.
I'm not new to this but at the moment it feels like something is not working with DK tank and I feel like im letting my guild down but tanking because I don't trust myself to not get smashed with crazy spike damage suddenly.
I wonder if it is a scaling thing where they have nerfed us because the new t9 items are going to scale better on us than they do on the other tanks. In the meantime we might as well be clad in cloth and will never gear to gear up as tank because why would a guild want to gear up a tank that cant tank?
One thing I am aware of that needs fixing in my gear is my Expertise. I had to regem/re-enchant quite a bit to compensate for the lost stamina from the patch so my previous 25 expertise is looking pretty shocking now
The World of Warcraft Armory
28% dodge
20% parry
25.5k armor
31.5k Health
This was the build I was using prior to changing to Frost on the offchance it was my Build that was killing me:
Going to go back to this later tonight but would appreciate anyone's feedback they might be able to offer

Im with Zivh in the sense that I just cannot fathom why tanks spec into things like MoB and Imp BP, the pitiful amount of heals recieved by either talent is only going to end up being a pitiful amount of overheal from your healers. IF you think these talents are somewhat helpful I would strongly suggest teaching your healers how to reactively heal, just because you die, doesn't neccesarily mean there is something you are going to fix within your toon.
Oh and DRW = *sigh*
Ya, I was just stating what I saw in your armory. At this point, I'd trade out the essence of gossamer for your monarch crab. The mitigation from essence is highly under the new trinket. And the dodge is exceptionally better as a dk tank.
I'm having some of the same problems but on a more casual level. I run around with some friends and we only play a few times a week so we are mostly running Heroics, Naxx, and 5 man H:ToC. Post patch if I'm not with a really well geared healer I die ... I just take so much damage that the healer has to focus most of his energy on healing me.
I know DKs fairly well. I'm using a cookie cutter frost tanking 2h build. I don't have any trouble with holding agro. I'm just hoping to increase my survivability some how. I've considered going 2h blood to see if it is much better.
My armory is The World of Warcraft Armory
I swear there are some Heroic bosses that can 2 shot me if I'm unlucky. Even with all cool downs popped I can't seem to tank for compared to a pally/warrior. Any ideas? I know my gear is meh... but for the dungeons I'm running it should be enough. As I upgrade I'm trying to pump up stam and dodge/parry.
You're stacking a lot of defense Rating which is really not so good. After reaching 540 Defense, you should not stack Def Gems anymore. You also got the wrong weapon enchant, you should use Glyph of Stone Gargoyle which gives you alot of defense and stamina. With that enchant you should be able to get rid of a lot of Def Gems and maybe even use stamina Dragons Eyes.
You only got 26k Life which is really not a lot, so that is why it's hard to heal you. Bosses in Heros can give you a lot of damage with one hit, so you need to have enough HP to survive another one.
It also looks as if you try to always get the socket bonus, which is not an important thing to do. When you are defense capped you should only socket Stamina Gems, no matter if the socket bonus is missed with them.
I realized after I posted that the link doesn't have the right set of armor and isn't up to date regardless.
My def is sitting at 542 with 27.7K HP. I'll try switching the runeforging on my weapon. I've heard mixed review about boosting def beyond cap though recently for the sake of improving your avoidance (miss/parry/dodge). I hadn't really thought about gemming only for stam after def cap; I can try that. I'm a little worried if I'll have threat issues when my hit rating falls through the floor. I've also thought about trying blood tanking but not thrilled with the loss of aoe threat given how much aoe tanking I do.
I was in H:ToC last night trying to tank and it was very rough. My priest healer was mediocre geared. Even with rotating my cool downs (dodge trinket, IBF, and unbreakable armor) the Dark Knight was tearing me apart. After several failed tries I switched to dps and we brought in a guild Pally tank with worse gear then me who was able to tank the encounter while only pressing 3 buttons (Course he has 10K more hp).

Luella Bartley and Katie Hillier brought a dollop of Brit cool to New York Fashion Week when they presented their debut collection for Marc By Marc Jacobs on Tuesday afternoon. We were treated to a whole new attitude for the label with an energy and youthful dynamism which immediately sets the all-new MBMJ girl apart. References ranged from Manga comics and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to dirt bike and BMX racing, resulting in a scintillating mash-up.
As part of our Fashion Week 360 mission, bringing you the action of fashion week from every angle, Grazia was given an all-access pass to the show. It was there that we met the model everyone's talking about, Natalie Westling, who credits her striking red hair for making her standout amongst the catwalking army. We also spotted Marc Jacobs himself popping in to give his blessing, accompanied by BFF Katie Grand who has long championed her Brit pals Luella and Katie.
So what was it like having Marc on the front row today? 'Terrifying!' Hillier told us during our exclusive interview after the show. 'As we watched him walk out, obviously people noticed him walking on the catwalk and that was when it felt real. I mean, I've been having an outer body experience the whole day anyway but when people saw him there it was like, "it's happening!"'.
Marc wasn't the only one lending support. Alexa Chung swept onto the front row wearing a metallic coat by the hip-and-youthful brand. 'I'm here because I'm excited to see what Katie Hillier and Luella Bartley have done with the brand,' the style star said. 'I was always such a huge fan of Luella so I'm thrilled she's designing again.'
And the show didn't disappoint. Katie and Luella took their bow to a standing ovation as Marc Jacobs leapt up from his seat to give them a congratulatory kiss. 'We've planted the seeds this season and now it's time to see where it goes,' Katie told us. And we can't wait to watch.
Go behind-the-scenes with our exclusive video and check out the Marc By Marc Jacobs collection below...

Now Located in the Oregon Coastal Mountain Range. Visits can be arranged! We do not sell our puppies without being seen first! That means you must personally view your puppy prior to purchasing a puppy.
We allow visitors after 2 weeks of age (this is to ensure the health of the puppy)! We are always willing to meet with the pups! Our puppies are raised indoors , have a vet check, first shots, worming, and full AKC registration (we reserve the right to limit registration in the best interest of the puppy). We have a large family (seven children!) so all of our pups are super socialized and well spoiled! Pups are ready to leave at 8 weeks of age. We hold until 10 weeks for no additional fee. At 6 weeks puppies start to learn kennel training. We do not crop our puppies ears, that is a choice the new owner should make! We only have four females so litters are sporadic through the year. We choose to limit our hobby breeding to a small scale to ensure all of dogs and pups are receiving the best of care! We specialize in Euro bloodlines and believe that these lines improve the longevity and health of the breed. Our dogs are bred strictly with the intentions of providing individuals with a working dog that can serve a few purposes: serve as a family/individual residential security dog OR as a therapy dog. We do not crossbreed our dogs under any circumstances. That means if you are looking for a Daniff, Saint Dane, Great Doodle, or some other dane-hybrid we will not have one or will not breed one. We choose to keep our lines pure and place emphasis on the quality and health of our dogs. We take payments on our puppies so please ask about payment plans!
We work with three vets (one comes to our home to do home checks (on pregnant females or moms whelping to limit the chance of contamination from other ill dogs that have just frequented the vet), one is our regular vet, and one is an emergency vet in case of an emergency. This ensures our pups always have the best care offered to them at all times.

Operation Smile
Operation Smile is an organization that helps provide medical surgeries to help repair cleft lip, palate, and other facial deformities for children throughout the world. These children would often live their lives shunned and rejected otherwise, unable to eat, speak, socialize, or smile like normal children.
Fire, Inc. Atlanta has worked with Operation Smile on several occasions in order to raise money for their cause. In December of 2010 Fire, Inc. organized a day at the pub to raise funds. Friends, family and team members showed up to play shuffleboard and Foosb.all and participate in a raffle for prizes. In May of 2011 Fire, Inc. got together again for Operation Smile, this time in partnership with Aurora Group, Inc. One lucky team member won an iPad, and funds from the raffle exceeded their goals.

text: On January 10, 2000, at 2024 Pacific standard time, a Beech D18S, N1827M, registered to Comanche Air Inc., operated by Methow Aviation, collided with the ground shortly after the pilot aborted the takeoff from Paine Field, Everett, Washington. Instrument meteorological conditions prevailed at the time and no flight plan was filed for the 14 CFR Part 91 positioning flight. The aircraft was substantially damaged and the airline transport pilot, the sole occupant, was not injured. The flight was departing for Burlington, Washington.During a telephone interview and subsequent written statement, the pilot reported that the start, taxi, and run-up were normal. The takeoff ground roll began at taxiway A7 on runway 34L. The pilot reported that the airplane lifted off and attained an altitude of about five feet, when it began to "bank and turn to the left." The pilot applied corrective action, however, the airplane would not respond. The pilot opted to abort the takeoff and reduced power. The airplane touched down in the soft dirt/grass on the west side of the runway. During the ground roll, the left main landing gear separated as the aircraft traveled over a drainage ditch where the right main landing gear separated on the opposite side. The airplane then slid to a stop after turning approximately 180 degrees to the left.During the telephone interview, the pilot reported that there was no indication of a mechanical failure or malfunction with the engines, and that they were producing full power.A Federal Aviation Administration Inspector from the Seattle, Washington, Flight Standards District Office, responded to the accident site. The inspector reported that the propeller blades from both engines were bent and curled aft. Propeller "slash" marks were also noted on the pavement along the aircraft's ground path. The inspector also checked the aircraft's flight controls and verified control continuity with no abnormalities noted.
