Health Issues Add to Risk of Vitamin D Deficiency, Study Says
THURSDAY, Nov. 1 (HealthDay News) -- Vitamin D levels are known to decrease during the winter months, but for women with certain health problems, the drop may be even more significant, a new study finds.
For these women, extra measures may be required to maintain their levels of vitamin D, which is linked to a variety of health benefits, including strong bones, blood pressure regulation and cardiovascular health.
For the study, researchers from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn., assessed the winter and summer vitamin D levels of nearly 250 women with health conditions including osteoporosis, high blood pressure, arthritis, cancer and hypothyroidism.
Vitamin D levels of less than 20 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) are considered deficient, and levels of 20 to 29 ng/mL are deemed insufficient. Based on these parameters, 28 percent of the women had deficient levels of vitamin D in the winter and 33 percent had insufficient levels, compared with 5 percent and 38 percent, respectively, during the summer.
The study was scheduled for presentation Thursday at the annual meeting of the American Society for Clinical Pathology in Boston.
"We found that these women have a severe drop off in vitamin D levels in the winter, which is a real concern for women who already are coping with significant health conditions," Samir Aleryani, study senior author and assistant professor of pathology at Vanderbilt, said in a society news release.
"Women with these health conditions need to be much more proactive, and should talk to their doctors regarding the best supplements to take to ensure adequate levels of vitamin D," Aleryani advised.
Sunlight triggers vitamin D production by the body and it is normal for vitamin D levels to drop during the winter, especially among people who live in northern areas. Other sources of vitamin D include foods and supplements.
Dr. Matthew Krasowski, director of clinical laboratories at the University of Iowa, agreed that more attention needs to be paid to this issue.
"This research suggests the importance of increasing awareness about higher levels of vitamin D deficiency in certain groups of patients," Krasowski said in the news release.
"Health care providers and patients need to be aware of this issue," said Krasowski, who was not involved in the study.
The data and conclusions of research presented at medical meetings should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

|Wish List
my search is over. i have this necklace in silver from a few years ago and have been wanting one in gold. i have looked for just the right length and weight and just haven't found the right one until now. great necklace that i will use over and over and if it is anything like the silver one, will last for years to come! April 30, 2014
Great versatile necklace I like this necklace with both dressy and casual shirts. It instantly dresses up and nicely accessorizes almost any shirt. I've only worn it a few times, and it is holding up alright now, but my only concern is how this necklace will hold up quality wise over the long run. I've had necklaces like these before that chip/turn orangey or break very easily, but this one is still fine for now. I hope it stays that way since I like it quite a bit! March 25, 2014
beautiful This necklace is beautiful and classy for work or play March 22, 2014
Great Necklace The online photo for this necklace is very accurate and I am pleased with this purchase. One note of caution, this is a single strand necklace and the photo shows it doubled. Still, a great choice! March 13, 2014
Classic necklace I had a similar necklace that I had purchased years ago from The Limited, but it was starting to lose its luster. I love this necklace. It can be worn long or doubled up like the picture shows. January 17, 2014
Dainty and Lovely Love this necklace, light weight, dainty and truly pretty. Very easy to work into outfits as well- April 4, 2013
Love this simple necklace I frequently wear this necklace- especially when I want to "dress-up" a more casual outfit. I always wear it as a double strand- it is too long as a single strand on my 5'3" frame. March 14, 2012
Nice Not as dainty looking as I expected but still a nice piece. March 4, 2012

BALTIMORE - Police say an 11-year-old student at Holabird Middle School was arrested after an inoperable starter pistol was found in his locker.
Baltimore County Public Schools spokesman Charles Herndon says an investigation involving county police indicated the student did not plan to threaten or hurt anyone. A starter pistol is typically used at sporting events and shoots blank shells or caps, not bullets. The boy has been charged as a juvenile with possession of a deadly weapon and possession of a deadly weapon on school property.
The incident came the same week that a fight between two Perry Hall High School students led to assault charges for one student and an increased police presence at the school.

Photos: 21 Things Hiding in College Sports Logos
Arkansas Pine Bluff
A handful of schools, conferences and other entities in college sports are downright subliminal with their logo designs. Look closely at the following 20 logos and you'll stumble upon more than the eye can initially see.
Such is the case with Arkansas-Pine Bluff. Barely detectable in the golden lion's mane are the initials "UAPB."
Big Ten
The "I" and "G" cleverly double as a "1" and "0." From 1990-2011, the number 11 (representing the number of Big Ten member schools) was interwoven into the logo.
Washington State
The cougar's mane forms a "W," while it's head and jaw combine to form both an "S" and a "U" for "Washington State University."
George Washington
Look very closely at the "W" in the Colonials' logo and you'll see one of the more recognizable landmarks of our nation's capital: The Washington Monument.
Eastern Washington
Something about the Palouse must lend itself to integrating a school's three-letter acronym into the logo design. Eastern Washington's integration of "EWU" into its eagle's wings and tail is almost identical to what Wazzu (less than 70 miles away) did with its cougar logo.
Oregon's "O" logo pays tribute to its two most recognizable athletics facilities: The track-shaped inside of the "O" is the shape of iconic Hayward Field (home of the annual Prefontaine Classic), while the outside is the shape of Autzen Stadium.
The Mavericks' logo is actually three letters rolled into one. There's a "U" (represented by the black band), an "N" (the red band) and an "O" (the two bands combined). Additionally, the ends of the bands are pointed to signify a bull's horns.
Louisiana Tech
Take away the "La" on the left side and the "ech" on the right (a la the Bulldogs' football helmets) and you're left with a block "T" transposed onto an outline of Louisiana - forming a natural "L" and, subsequently, an interlocking "LT" combination.
Once made up primarily of member schools on the Pacific Coast (along with Arizona and Arizona State) shown by the wave above the "12", the Pac-12 now counts two "mountainous" members in Utah and Colorado among its ranks - an expansion reflected in the peak at the center of the now three-year-old new logo.
Famous Idaho Potato Bowl
The football in the logo of the former Humanitarian Bowl doubles as a baked potato topped with sour cream and chives.
Hoping to strike it rich with something more clever and less common than an ordinary "C," Charlotte has had the letter portrayed as an arm swinging a pickax (alluding to the 49ers nickname) since 1998.
The program formerly known as the "Flying Dutchmen" has reason to be proud of the gender equality demonstrated on its nine-year-old logo, one that contains both a lioness (in white in the foreground) and a male lion (in blue in the background).
UC Davis
That's not just a "C" for "California." UC Davis' mustang mascot, Gunrock, is underscored by the fact that the "C" is also a horseshoe.
Elon has been nicknamed the Phoenix since 2000 (after previously going by the "Fighting Christians"). Its logo is, appropriately, the mythical bird in flight while forming an "E."
Sacramento State
Imagine Sacramento State's logo in uber conceptual terms a la a constellation. The "S" part of it is supposed to be the body of a hornet (the school's mascot) with a stinger on the bottom end, with two "wings" protruding from the sides. Too bad it looks more like a "nondescript earth worm eating through an apple core."
Long Beach State
Look hard enough and you'll see that the "B" is not just a letter. It's also a pair of fish swimming side-by-side one another.
Sun Belt
Unveiled prior to the 2013-2014 athletics season, the Sun Belt's new logo contains a blue band representing the "belt" - made up of four parts representing the conference's key principles of ambitious, authentic, loyal and adventurous - and the horizon at daybreak representing the "sun."
Missouri Valley
Notice how "Valley" slopes down in bowl-like fashion from either side, much like the appearance of an actual valley.
Northern Arizona
Nestled into the triangle portion of the "A" is a yellow mountain peak in reference to NAU's location in Flagstaff high above sea level (6,910 feet to be exact).
San Diego State
Taking full advantage of its "Aztecs" nickname, San Diego State has gone with a Mayan-fonted "S" interlocking with a "D" resembling a spear.
College Football Playoff Logo
A mere four laces - instead of eight - appear on the CFB playoff logo's football, representing the number of participating teams. Here's hoping that more laces (i.e. more teams) are added to the football in coming years.

|Home Installation Manual Obtaining Joomla!
Page 1 of 3
Final Preparation
Transferring the files
The first task is to upload the uncompressed collection of files that you created during the last section to your Web server. If you are installing on a localhost - for example the computer you are working on – then it is simply a case of copying and pasting (or moving) the files into the root folder (or a sub-folder) of the Web server. If however you are running the server on a remote host, then this process will involve the use of a FTP client program, some Web Browsers have such a tool built in or can be added in, or the control panel of your host provider, if one is available.
The root folder is located in different places depending upon the operating system/distribution and Web server package you are using and it might be called htdocs, httpd, or www, but we would be here a long while if we tried to detail every possible combination of OS, distribution, package, and directory structure. So, establishing this is up to you!
In some cases it will be possible – as well as quicker and easier - on remote hosted servers to upload the compressed file via your FTP client and to then unzip or uncompress the file directly into the root directory. This will most often be the case with Linux based Web servers where command line access is available. Some hosting companies incorporate a file management system within their bespoke control panels which will include an FTP program.
Occasionally files will become corrupted during the transfer and it may be necessary to complete this procedure more than once.
If you get completely stuck then ask at the forums for assistance after first doing a search in case someone else has already asked the same question.
A bit more preparation...
You are now, almost, ready for the final leap-of-faith and the installation of Joomla! but we would recommend gathering together some final bits of information that will be needed to complete the task and it is better to have them to hand from the beginning rather than scrabble around for them whilst proceeding with the installation itself.

Women record victory in dual, while men fall
September 21, 2012
WILMINGTON – In a head-to-head dual event with Ohio Athletic Conference rival Muskingum, the women's cross country team dominated the race in posting the victory, while a week after beating the Muskies at Cedarville – the men lost.
In the women's race, each member ran two miles, alternating four times for the total distance of eight miles. The top three relays scored for each team.
Wilmington's three pairs finished first, second and fourth, respectively to help the Fightin' Quakers to the win. The duo of senior Brittany Gibbons (Pleasant Plain, OH/Blanchester) and sophomore Tricia Steffen (Baltimore, OH/Liberty Union) won the race completing the eight miles course in 48:40.
"I thought the women ran well," said head coach Ron Combs. "I am happy with the way we ran. It was a strong effort on our home course. I split Jenna (Parlette) and Tricia (Steffen) up to give up two strong teams instead of a dominating team and it worked as they finished first and second."
Sophomore Jenna Parlette (Miamisburg, OH/Miamisburg) and senior Karlee Michael (Alexandria/Johnstown-Monroe) came in second with a time of 50:24, while the final scoring pair was freshman Mary Ann Krebs (Kettering, OH/Archbishop Alter) and sophomore Veronica Burnam (New Richmond, OH/New Richmond) in 52:35.
After Muskingum took first and second in the men's race, Wilmington took the next three of the next four places but with only the top three teams posting scores – it was too big of a deficit to overcome.
In the men's race, each member ran two miles, alternating six times for the total distance of 12 miles. The top three relays scored for each team.
The top Wilmington pair of junior Alek Erwin (South Vienna, OH/Northeastern) and junior Myles Corcoran (Wilmington, OH/Clinton-Massie) finished third in a time of 1:01.10, about 30 seconds from a second-place finish. They were followed by junior Brad Kline (Circleville, OH/Circleville) and sophomore Jake Simpkins (Germantown, OH/Valley View), who finished in 1:02.43. The final scoring pair was sophomore Rob King (Washington Court House, OH/Miami Trace) and senior Chad Hirschauer (Cincinnati, OH/Milford) in a time of 1:03.08.
"We are kinda fighting some sickness and not hitting on all cylinders," said Combs. "We get another shot at Muskingum in a week and a half. I am excited for that match-up again."
Both teams are off this weekend, and will return to the course on Saturday, September 29th for the All-Ohio meet at Cedarville.

Mastering tee times online
BY SANDRA GUY firstname.lastname@example.com March 31, 2012 6:59AM
Article Extras
Updated: April 24, 2012 4:03PM
Three brothers who run their family's construction equipment business are aiming to reinvent what critics consider a flawed business model for golfers to book tee-times online.
The Robertsons — Glenn, Struan and Brent, whose father, Alastair, founded Universal Equipment in Glen Ellyn — are launching back9booking.com on Saturday with two unique properties: The online booking service will be free to golfers, and will charge a flat commission per booking to golf-course owners.
Back9booking, based in the West Loop, has agreements with 45 golf course operators now, and expects to have 70 by year's end.
The Robertsons — Brent, 26, the chief executive officer; Struan, 28, chief financial officer, and Glenn, 32, chief operating officer — say they aim to work with golf course operators as partners, and they started their company out of frustration with their own inability to quickly find a variety of courses.
The brothers faced a conundrum: Most golf courses permanently reserve tee-times on Saturday and Sunday mornings. The brothers couldn't easily find a variety of courses within an hour's drive where they could play four to five hours and come home.
"We ended up playing the same course over and over, missing other opportunities because we didn't want to call all of these courses," said Brent, who played in the Illinois Junior Golf Association as a teenager and worked at the Village Links of Glen Ellyn throughout high school and his early college years.
They started their business after they had spent a year and a half calling 40 to 50 golf course operators to see what the operators wanted in an online tee-booking system. Their startup focuses on making the interactive experience as simple as possible.
"The golf courses allow our company to incorporate our tee-reservation system with their back-end software so the reservations are made in real time and immediately posted online," said Glenn.
The booking startup will go up against the biggest player in the industry, GolfNow, which is owned by the Golf Channel. GolfNow entered the industry four years ago by acquiring several independent companies, including GolfSwitch and Active Network.
GolfNow.com offers on-line tee times 24/7 at more than 120 Chicago-area golf courses and at 3,700 courses throughout North America, Ireland and the U.K.
GolfNow.com charges each golfer who books a tee-time online a $1.99 transaction fee for each booking. GolfNow receives one tee-time per day in revenue from each golf course in exchange for providing the booking service.
GolfNow.com also offers a weekly promotion via email during the golf season through its Deal Caddy (Dealcaddy.com) marketing arm. The weekly deals range from tee-times at certain courses to a weekend golf package to a deal on a subscription to Golf Digest magazine.
GolfNow spokesman Jeremy Friedman says the system, which drives nationwide publicity through the Golf Channel and GolfChannel.com, makes it easier for golfers to reserve tee times, helps the golf courses gain publicity in the growing social-media space and increases revenues at a rate the market will bear during down times.
Yet Jim Koppenhaver, president of golf-industry information provider Pullucid Corp., based in Buffalo Grove, says GolfNow's method of selling select tee times at 50-percent discounts from the prevailing rate cards has driven down golf-course operators' revenues, even though the operators agreed to those terms from the start.
A "dynamic tension" has emerged between GolfNow and other websites that list discounted tee times and the golf course operators because the discounters list low tee-time rates of, say $20, next to full $40 rates, which can confuse golfers, forcing golf-course operators into a race to the bottom, Koppenhaver said.
The result is that golf course operators, already clobbered by the recession, have cut back their spending on maintenance and labor, he said.
"This is a place where the golf industry shot itself in the foot," Koppenhaver said.
"If a tee-time reservations site would operate on a commission or fixed-fee service, the courses would have recourse against the barter game," Koppenhaver said.
Despite the latest innovations, the golf industry still must overcome a shrinking customer base, which Koppenhaver also blames on the industry.
Nationwide, golf courses lost 10 percent of their golfers between 2001 and 2010, now numbering 26.3 million, and 10 percent of their booked rounds from 2001 to 2011, according to Pellucid Corp.'s surveys.
Koppenhaver believes the USGA, which sets golfing rules nationwide, should loosen its playing rules, dress code and golf-club requirements to let more people play recreationally.
"People don't like to play recreational activities they're not very good at," he said. "The golf industry should allow equipment that would make it easier for someone to hit the ball and get it in the air, hit a couple good shots and have a good time without having to take 100 lessons."
Tom Denklau, PGA director of golf for Hilton-Chicago Indian Lakes Resort in west suburban Bloomingdale, said he welcomes Back9Booking as a way to reach new golfers.
Denklau said 30 percent of the resort's golf-course bookings are done online, and he expects the numbers to keep growing along with the course's revenues.
Though Indian Lakes was hit by the recession and a pullback in business outings, Denklau said the resort is rebounding as it leverages its website and social media to tout its 27-hole golf course, unlimited-golf memberships, range-membership rates for late-afternoon and tween and teen golfers, 18-hole miniature golf course and non-golf options such as swimming pools, tennis courts, horseshoe pits, volleyball courts and restaurants and conference center.
"Golf courses no longer survive as corporate destinations where John Smith brings three of his clients," Denklau said. "We're trying to be as many things to as many people as possible."

Summer Fun
I love the change of seasons, and with that comes the transformation of my wardrobe and a laid-back attitude for the next few months.
I'm more than ready to put away my winter clothes and boots. It's the time when summer barbecues and hanging out with neighbors becomes a weekly ritual.

(CNN) -- Tired of staying in anonymous corporate hotels? Maybe you should try one of the gorgeous lodgings named by Wallpaper* as its best business hotels of 2012.
A panel of well-traveled creatives picked the hotels from a shortlist. Highlights include New York's NoMad, which houses a two-floor library that turns into a cocktail bar, and the Fasano Boa Vista, in Brazil -- a resort that has natural forest and lakes in its vast grounds.
More from Wallpaper*: The new breed of designer hostels
But this year's best business hotel is the Georges, a tiny boutique establishment in Istanbul's Galata district, which offers its pampered guests a private butler. Who says you shouldn't mix business with pleasure?

The most outstanding feature of their website is the gorgeous product photographs!

Location TBA
The 2015 conference will be held in the Southwest. More information will be posted as soon as it is available. To receive future updates subscribe to the Mailing List.
The 2016 conference will be held in conjunction with the Institute on Collaborative Language Research (CoLang) in Fairbanks, Alaska.
About the name
At the 2012 conference in Bellingham it was suggested that the conference name be changed from Athabaskan to Dene, reflecting a preference for the latter term by many conference participants. It is well-known that the name Athabaskan is not an indigenous term (see this site). For the sake of continuity we will continue to list the former name in parentheses during this time of transition.
Proceedings Volume
Proceedings of the 2013 conference will be published as volume 12 in the ANLC Working Papers series. Any paper presented at the 2012 conference, or a new paper dealing with any aspect of Dene (a.k.a. Athabascan, Athabaskan) linguistics or anthropology, is welcome. Keep in mind that these are working papers. They will be checked for appropriateness of content and conformity to the style guide (below), but authors themselves are largely responsible for their content. It seems quite likely that from this year on the volume will be distributed digitally as well as in print. UAF's new Institutional Repository will most likely host the series, and starting with this publishing cycle, papers archived there will have a unique identifier, making them accessible to authors for preservation and circulation. More information about this method of dissemination will be made available later
Deadline for submission is TBA. Contact sgtuttle [at] alaska.edu for more information.

Built between 1954 and 1957 at a cost of $100,000,000, the Mackinac Bridge took the title of world's longest suspension bridge from the Golden Gate. Though it has recently surrendered the honor, it long ago secured its place as one of the most impressive engineering feats of the 20th century.
From the initial plans to a top-to-bottom tour of the bridge today, MODERN MARVELS® tells its story with the help of the people who built and maintain it. See how engineer David B. Steinman's plans called for an 8,614-foot span anchored by two massive towers, and hear from some of the men who toiled for over three years to make this vision a reality. In the end nearly 10,000 men would lend their hard work and expertise to create "Mighty Mac".
With foundations that plunge over 200 feet through silt and mud to find purchase in bedrock to the towers that soar over 500 feet in the air, THE MACKINAC BRIDGE is one of the most extraordinary edifices ever built.

Reflexive Law: How Sustainable Development Has Conned Us All
By Patrick Wood – Reflexive law was first suggested in 1983 by a German legal scholar, and has since been adopted as the legal framework to implement Agenda 21 and Sustainable Development throughout the world. Reflexive law is destroying all concepts of the traditional Rule of Law upon which Western civilization was founded.
Regionalism – The Blueprint for Your Serfdom
By Michael Shaw – Did you know that some of your local elected representatives are enabling a shadow government to evolve? These people promote the reinvention of government through their support of, and appointments to, "regional" boards that act like soviet councils. These councils are funded to implement Agenda 21. Federal tax dollars fuel their appeal, but your city and county representatives do not have to go along.
Transforming Your Town: Facilitated Meetings Coming Your Way
By Andrea Sanchez – Community visioning workshops do little to address the most predominant issues facing our neighborhoods, but go a long way toward padding the pockets of a select few. Businesses and residents sense something is wrong and are rightfully wary. They will find the strings attached to the plans untenable. Watch for these meetings. It is time to point our elected officials in the direction of true representation and transparency.
Common Core: Brave New Schools
By Cherie Zaslawsky – The much touted Common Core Standards (CCS) Initiative that is being pushed as a silver bullet to improve our schools is not simply the latest fad in education: CCS is actually an unprecedented program that would radically alter our entire K-12 educational system, affecting content (i.e. curriculum), delivery (largely via computer), testing (also via computer), teacher evaluations (connected to test scores), as well as creating an intrusive database of sensitive information from student "assessments."
The Dark Side of Sustainable Development and the Regional One Bay Area Plan
By Heather Gass – Over the past few years, I and many others in the San Francisco Bay Area have been fighting against a plan that seeks to socially re-engineer our lives: the One Bay Area Plan. Over the next 25 to 30 years it will transform the lives of over 9 million people in 9 counties by creating high density stack-and-pack housing next to mass transit, all in the name of saving the planet by reducing GHGs (Green House Gases). Never mind that global warming has already been debunked by thousands of scientists not on the UN's payroll. The sky is not falling, but our rights are being systematically eroded.
A Time to Sue: Regionalism Challenged
By Freedom Advocates – The plot to transform the San Francisco Bay Area is largely unknown by the residents living there and overwhelmingly opposed by those who do know. The global boiler plate program called One Bay Area (OBA) or Plan Bay Area will roll out across the nation on a grand scale. OBA involves more than $250,000,000,000 (over a quarter of a trillion dollars).
Green Cities, Cool Mayors = Red Ink, Dead Culture
By Kathleen Marquardt – At the U.S. Conference of Mayors in San Francisco on June 5 (World Environment Day), 2005, two documents – the "Green Cities Declaration" and the "Urban Environmental Accords" – were presented. Every mayor in attendance signed them. Because of that, every citizen in America is threatened.
Abusing the System Through NGOs and CSOs
By Maryetta Ables – Everyone knows what a lobbyist is, but do you know what an "Adviser" is in Washington, D.C.? No matter whom we elect, no matter the person or party, if we don't shine the light on who really is writing policy, we are in for a rude awakening.
Understanding Unalienable Rights
By Michael Shaw – Why do we use the term unalienable instead of inalienable? Inalienable rights are subject to changes in the law such as when property rights are given a back seat to emerging environmental law or free speech rights give way to political correctness. Whereas under the original doctrine of unalienable rights, these rights cannot be abridged.
Iclei Primer: Your Town and Freedom Threatened
By Freedom Advocates – Right now, in your town and neighborhood, policies are being implemented that will ultimately eliminate your freedoms and destroy your way of life. You need to know what's going on to stop this process. Many town officials are selling us out to global regional development with help from the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI): Local Governments for Sustainability. ICLEI is used as one of the mechanisms to undo the political recognition of unalienable rights.

TravelSmith Qwik-Dry Crewneck T-Shirt 3 3
Poor fit not worth the savings I have previously purchased the Ex Officio brand of t-shirt from TravelSmith and am please with the shirt though it is a little expensive ($28.50 per). I was happy to see a very similar product that is TravelSmith brand, especially given you can save over $7 per. Unfortunately I'm very disappointed with this shirt because the XL fits like a L and I really can't stand a snap t-shirt. The whole point of buying this kind of shirt is that it is breathable fabric. If I had wanted an underarmor kind of product I would have purchased this. Unless the sizing if fixed I would not recommend purchasing this shirt. July 8, 2014
Super comfortable I can recommend this shirt without reservation as a super comfortable and great fitting short especially for warm weather. August 7, 2014
sleeve are too short The T-shirt is comfortable but the sleeves are too short. Would not buy these again. June 19, 2014

So disappointed I spent so much money on this diffuser - couldn't sleep all night smelling the strong unattractive smell and had to get up and put it out in the garage.
Have always bought the Frasier Fir and was hoping for the same result as I love that one.
Unless someone can let me smell another diffuser before I buy it I will not buy an diffuser from Thymes again and spend that much money to hate it.
Wish I could get my money back.

I bought this from a high end gift shop a few months ago. I didn't really want to buy it but that's how I am.(lol)
After a few days of walking by them, (they sit in my entry way hallway) I started to stop and smell this beautiful reed diffuser, a mix of mint and violets and a woodsy smell.
A week ago people coming in to my home wanted to know what it was. They searched for candles and found none!
When I showed them the little bottle they were all amazed and they all wanted to know where I got it.
Everyone now visiting stops to smell the "violets" whether they are coming or going and I see a nice smile on their faces.

Emperors Palace to host National Poker Championship
Poker faces will be out in full force this April at Emperors Palace with the World Poker Tournament (WPT) National Poker Championship offering high-stakes tournament poker at its best.
Riding on the massive success of the World Poker Tour tournament hosted at Emperors Palace last year, South Africa's Vegas of Africa will once again be on the world stage with the WPT National Poker Championship.
Emperors Palace marks yet another milestone in the world-wide growth of high-stakes tournament poker by yet-again bringing this significant gaming event to its prestigious gaming tables. At the same time the casino is promoting the local poker market and hosting international players, ultimately boosting tourism to South Africa.
The action begins on 1 April when Emperors Palace starts the official satellite tournament. The Vegas of Africa will welcome some of the world's biggest names from 4 April, when the official tournament starts. The championship will also see some of South Africa's poker greats pitted against one another. Players will be provided with the full WPT experience as the casino offers four exciting poker events including the highly anticipated WPT Emperors Palace National Championship which will see high-rollers outplay one another.
"The Emperors Palace World Poker Tournament successfully exceeded expectations in 2012 claiming the biggest poker tournament title that Africa experienced to date! The tournament kicked-off with more than 1400 entries and prize monies exceeding R13m. We are excited to see what this year will bring and look forward to hosting all our gaming VIP's and international poker celebrities", comments Peermont Gaming Chief Operating Officer, Bob Yearham.
It's not only the professionals who will be getting in on the action, as there will be events to suit all poker enthusiasts. Entry fees range from R1 000 up to R44 000 per buy-in. All but one game take on the NL Texas Hold Em format – the Omaha National event is in the PL Omaha format. The satellite events to the WPT National Championship cost R1 000 per entry and begin on 1 April, culminating in the WPT main event on 5 April. Entries for the main event cost R14 300.
Other exciting events will also be played around the main event, including the High Roller on 4 April at a buy-in of R44 000. Both the Omaha National, R22 000 buy-in and the Last Chance Turbo, R4 950 buy-in will go down on 6 April.
With such high stakes the excitement will be palpable as high rollers and all other poker players put forward their best hands. Adding to this, local poker enthusiasts will get to mingle with WPT cast members, international poker celebrities and the international tournament director. There will also be exclusive dinners and parties throughout the tournament, as well as stunning attractions in and around the area.

excellent rushguard for rolling
By Tim the russian jitser
from Moscow, Russia
Comments about Under Armour Heat Gear Sonic Compression Shortsleeve:
Using the rushguard for bjj rolling, wearing it under my gi. Nice material, very comfortable for body. Compressing is quite strong, but not too much.Size is going as it is - not over- or undersizing, bought M size as almost all of my clothes and the rushguard fits great.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Awesome compression shirt for no gi bjj!
By T
from Miami, FL
Bought this shirt for no gi brazilian jiu jitsu and I love it. The fit is perfect and I have no issues with it rolling up during training. Also perfect to wear under my gi. I especially love the bright green color.
Great value
By PeteyG
from Australia
Great product and value for money!
Can't beat the price
By Mettius
from Los Angeles, CA
Very durable, fits tight but in the way you want it to when training. I use them under my gi when rolling or just as is if rolling no gi. They don't develop much odor and keeps you dry when training.
Good product
By Bdb
from Winnipeg, MB
Bought a couple of these to wear under my gi and they do the job. They fit well and I have no complaints.
