Bluetooth Headset Review: Jabra Talk Bluetooth Headset Review
Quick Reply
Bluetooth Headset Review: Jabra Talk Bluetooth Headset Review
Reviewed by Tong Zhang
Editor's Rating (1-5):
What's hot:
Great voice quality, loud volume, good range and good DSP.
What's not:
Wind noise canceling is less effective compared to road noise canceling.
Jabra Talk is a small Bluetooth mono headset that's also very affordable. The Jabra Talk has built-in Bluetooth 3.0 and works with any smartphone, tablet and devices with Bluetooth Hands-Free profile as well as A2DP and AVRCP for music and voice streaming. The Jabra Talk is sold exclusively at Best Buy for $29.99.
The Jabra Talk has a similar design to the Jabra Easygo Bluetooth headset. It's small and light, measuring only 2" long. The headset has an ergonomic design and comes with two ear hooks and several gel tips in different sizes. It's very comfortable to wear even for long periods of time thanks to the lightweight design. For use in an office, home or in a car while driving, you don't need to wear the ear hook if you don't like it to interfere with your glasses. But if you go jogging or run to catch the train or flight, the ear hook provides added security.
The Jabra Talk has very simple controls. The Talk/Pairing button is large and easy to operate on the front. The volume rocker lives on the side and the power on/off button lives the back of the headset. The headset has two LED lights on the back as well, one indicates battery life and the other Bluetooth status. The micro USB charging port lives on the top and you can charge the headset with the included AC charger.
Pairing and Features
The Jabra Talk has built-in Bluetooth 3.0 that supports Headset, Hands-free and A2DP audio streaming. It has an EasyPair feature that will enter the security code automatically. It also supports multi-pairing that allows the headset pair with several devices. We tested the Jabra Talk with several Android smartphones including the Droid RAZR HD and Samsung Galaxy S III as well as the iPhone 5, and it paired with all easily via Bluetooth. When you first turn on the Jabra Talk, the headset goes into pairing mode automatically and for subsequent pairing, press and hold the talk/pairing button on the front of the headset.
As with some Motorola Bluetooth headsets, the Jabra Talk literally talks to you. It comes with built-in voice guidance for operations such as pairing, connecting, call management as well as giving your status such as battery life and more. Be sure to put the headset on as soon as you turn the power on so that you can let the voice guide you through the pairing and connecting process.
The Jabra Talk supports most Bluetooth Hands-free profile features including last number redialing, answering/rejecting calls and answering second incoming call. The Jabra Talk also works with system sounds and music playback. The A2DP and AVRCP support allows you to stream audio in your music or movie playback to the mono headset as well as control playback using the headset.
Audio Quality and Range
For an affordable Bluetooth headset, the Jabra Talk has very good audio quality. We tested it with several smartphones, the headset sounded clear on both incoming and outgoing ends, and volume was also good. The DSP worked efficiently when working with most phones filtering out road noise easily and a good amount of wind noise. The range was also very good, easily reaching 30 feet.
The headset has decent audio quality when playing music and movie. It's still a mono headset, but it sounds quite decent.
Battery Life
The Jabra Talk has an 180 mAh rechargeable battery and comes with an AC charger that's 100-240V input and 5.0V output. The headset doesn't come with a USB/micro USB cable, but you can use your own cable to charge it via a computer. The Jabra Talk has a comparable battery to many small Bluetooth headsets on the market, except the Motorola H19txt which has longer battery life. Talk time is about 6 hours for us and standby time was over 8 days. You can help conserve the battery by sliding the power button to turn off the headset when you're done for the day. When you turn the headset back on, it will find the last paired partner quickly.
For $29.99, we were actually surprised at how good the audio quality was on the Jabra Talk. The Bluetooth headset is very comfortable to wear and it's small and light, easy to carry for the road. The headset is very easy to pair and the voice guidance walks you through everything you can do on the headset. It has very clear audio and loud volume, good DSP with most phones and very good range. The Jabra Talk has good battery life and you will get both an audio warning as well as an LED (battery LED turns red) warning when battery is running low. And you can stream other audio from your phone as well.
Package contains:
Jabra Talk headset, 3 eargels, 2 earhooks, 1 AC charger and printed manuals.
Bluetooth version: 3.0
Profiles: Hands-free, A2DP and AVRCP
Talk time: Up to 6 hours
Standby time: Up to 8 days
AC adapter: 100-240V, 5.0V out

These are my go to high mileage and training tire. Price is great and road feel and handling is well above average. I haven't found a better everyday tire option in 20 years.

These are goid tyres,not expensive,long wear,and love the colors
28 November 2014 by
These tires came on a new bike I purchased. Didn't know anything about them up to then. I found them to be a great tire. Long-lasting (2000 miles) and durable. They also roll very nice. I will continue to use due to price, roll, durablility.
13 November 2014 by
I've been using these tires for years. I have tried many others but it's hard to beat these for rolling resistance and wear and tear. Excellent value for everyday road and racing.
6 October 2014 by
Great price, great puncture resistance, they last me a year! Not too many flats throughout the life, less than ive had with gatorskins!
3 October 2014 by
I'm an amateur cyclist - been riding for 5 years. While I can't claim to have tried anywhere near every tire available, I've found these to be the best among those I have tried. I have these tires installed on three of my four bikes (the fourth is a cyclocross).
(1) They offer excellent flat resistance. I ride on roads that have plenty of 'road debris' (rocks, tree limbs, etc., - no glass) and I have yet to flat with these tires after more than 6,000 miles (multiple bikes - I note that one pair has about 2,500 miles and is getting very thin, so if it flatted tomorrow I wouldn't be surprised, but every other tire I've tried has flatted far sooner). For your comparison, I ride at 115/105 psi rear/front. The Vittoria Rubino's are rated at 145psi max, I believe. Another tire (can I state the brand and tire here? Serfas Seca RS) I just removed and replaced with a fresh set of Rubino's. The old tire has half the TPI, is rated at 130psi, and flatted on me not excessively, but still often enough to be an annoyance. Good-bye and good-riddance to them!
(2) They offer better (less) rolling resistance than any other tire I've tried. Not enough to turn me into a lightning-fast racer, but it's noticeable.
(3) I like the broad color stripe on the sides. A little bike-bling is a good thing, imho.
22 September 2014 by
I've had excellent luck with Rubino Pros, regular and "slicks". Fairly light, long wearing, handle well. Current ones I'm running have the blue sidewalls, and they're going strong after well over 1200 miles (not a single flat, knock on carbon). No complaints with these tires at all!

This are the best tires for training. I'm bee using 700x25mm and love it.
30 June 2014 by
Solid performing, reasonably priced tire... a bit of traction on wet roads... a good choice for all but flat out racing.
30 January 2014 by
Thor Buddox, Road Cyclist
These tires are fantastic. They have held up through 5,000 miles and not one flat from a puncture. The color options are awesome, and it's a great all around tire. I had a set that I used for racing and a set I used for training, you can't go wrong with a set of these tires. I highly recommend them.
6 January 2014 by
This is an outstanding tire at a great price that offers cyclists durability, dependability and Italian tradition. While not the lightest clincher tire on the market, its few extra ounces make little difference when one considers the tire's overall performance and longevity. I have been especially impressed with the tire's cornering ability in all types of weather. A great buy. A great ride.
5 January 2014 by
Great tire at a great price. Tires came in the manufactures box and arrived in the state in about two weeks. Great buying experience and will by from again.
5 January 2014 by
I've been riding on these tires for many years. I've always found them to be very durable (puncture resistant) and with a low rolling resistance. They corner well at high speed and even on wet roads. If you are looking for the best "bang for the buck" go with the Rubino Pro's.
20 December 2013 by
Solid training tires.
23 November 2013 by
Great tires, highly recommended, hardly any flats, biggest bang for your buck
15 November 2013 by
The Vittoria Rubino Pro tires are good quailty and easy to change.
12 November 2013 by
Excellent tires. Put 3000 miles on a previous set and not a single cut or nick on the tire. Back tire flattened across the middle but that is normal with all tires I have ridden (I weigh 230 lbs). Great tire if you ride on rough/chip and tar roads. Would recommend this tire to anyone that wants the security of knowing the tire is almost flat proof.
8 November 2013 by
Have bought from probikekit before and have been very pleased.
Will continue to buy.
4 November 2013 by
Good all round training tire, highly recommend for winter riding.

Been riding either these or the Vredestein puncture resistant training tires for the past 10+ years. Vredestein are a bit more supple, but the Rubinos maybe flat once a year if at all. Just because the PSI says 145 max, there's no reason to inflate anywhere near that. I ride them at 100 and that is just fine. Can't go wrong for training on the Rubinos.

Ok I like the styling and they seem like good tires, I have had good luck with them in the past in terms of there durability. However, after only a couple of rides I blew one out with some glass on the road. Tore a hole so big that the tire was totally unusable. I wish there was some road debris protection at least for the first 90 days or something. Hard to say if any other tire would have faired better against the glass.

Although I have less than 100 miles on this (rear) tire, I like its road feel so far. I'm also impressed with the tire's solid construction. The tread appears to be substantial and the tire holds its pressure quite well. 4 Stars today; maybe 5 Stars after another 500 miles. Time will tell.
4 October 2013 by
After a struggle to get the tire on my rim because the sidewalls had flattened out due to the packaging it came in, I want to report that after a few rides I'm quite impressed with this product. Time will tell, but so far so good.

Vittoria makes great tires; Rubino Pro is an excellent proof of that. I had been a cyclist for over 20 years. I ride from 300 to 500 miles per week. The tire that I use is Vittoria Rubino Pro Clincher Road Tyre. Its durability is above average. Its rolling resistance is minimum, so it is a fast tire. It also has great all weather grip. I had been sponsored by other brands and I had use so many more. the one that I buy I had used for so many years now and it is used on all my bikes is the Rubino Pro. It lasts long, rolls good; and is a training tyre that could be used to race. Just give it a try and enjoy the ride.
PS. I no longer race and I have never and will never be sponsored by Vittoria. therefore you can trust what I say

I have been riding Rubinos for about 5 years and can honestly say I've had a lot of luck with them. great flat resistance, get a ton of miles (kilos!), and are very supple. Recommend these tires to high mileage riders.
20 September 2013 by
I just got these in the mail. I can't speak about how good the tires themselves are yet since I haven't put them on my bike yet. The product did come as described and were shipped in a timely manor.

These Vittoria Rubino Pro Clincher Road Tyre are exactly what I was looking for, a durable, puncture resistant training tire. I have only ridden them for 10 hours or so, but I have no complaints so far. They are a little slower than some racing tires, but that is what you sacrifice to help avoid a flat tire.
5 July 2013 by
Great product, fast shipping

Rubino Pro tires are relatively inexpensive and they wear slowly. I had one tire get a sidewall cut, but other than that, I have never had a puncture. My current rear Rubino Pro tire has almost 4700k on it and is still going strong.

how did mushy fare in 1995?
And smalishah's avatar is the most classy one by far Jan certainly echoes the sentiments of CW
Yeah we don't crap in the first world; most of us would actually have no idea what that was emanating from Ajmal's backside. Why isn't it roses and rainbows like what happens here? PEWS's retort to Ganeshran on Daemon's picture depicting Ajmal's excreta
yeah...I think it is Mushy who did well 18 wickets in 2 matches at an average of 21
A few things:
1. How underrated is Kumble? What a wonderful bowler. Much better than he gets credit for.
2. Any chance of the Katich hundred on video Rob? Best innings of his Test career. Can't believe he was dropped for Symonds the next match!
3. How good was Damien Martyn to watch?!
4. Brett Lee - worst player of spin bowling ever? Discuss.
My Youtube cricket channels, thousands of gold old videos
Upul Chandana bowled well in 2004 on some responsive Cairns and Darwin wickets.
The match in Cairns rarely gets a mention. Drab game until Warne almost created a classic victory.
katich getting dropped after the scg game is up there in terms of worst droppings ever
Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?
With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left
Well yeah, that's kind of the point, he had a pretty ordinary series but at least he did something.
Bowling records | Test matches | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPN Cricinfo
Vettori with the only solid series by a finger spinner, back in 01/02.
Plenty of wreckages though, Murali's figures of 4 wickets at 100 in 07/08 rather conspicuous. Richard Dawson's effort in 02/03 - 5 wickets from 4 matches at nearly 80 while conceding over 4 an over - is also, ahem, illustrative

Bishen Bedi did allright here in particular in 77/78
Keep Your Feet on The Ground,Keep Reaching for The Stars!
Did you see Prasanna in Australia JB? He seems to have had a good game at the Gabba back in 67/68, although not a lot of fun when he returned a decade later!
Rusi Surti as a result of that '68 tour ended up playing for QLD in the Shield. Now he was an underrated cricketer
Kumble in 03/04 the only truly great series performance really... what a hero he was in that series... bowled marathon spells against arguably the best batting lineup ever on the flattest pitches imaginable. Champ.

5/14 in Yankee History
The red-letter days -
1996: Dwight Gooden' on the verge of being released by the Yankees just two weeks ago' twirls a no-hitter to sink the Mariners' 2-0. Dr. K walks two in the 9th' but retires Ken Griffey' Jr.' fans Jay Buhner' and induces Paul Sorrento to pop out to end it. Gerald Williams saves the no-hitter when he runs down a 400-foot Alex Rodriguez liner in the first inning and turns it into a double play. Gooden (2-3) has now thrown 16 straight innings of hitless ball.
1967: Mickey Mantle becomes the 6th member of the 500-HR club in New York's 6-5 win against Baltimore. Mantle connects batting left-handed off Stu Miller.
On other 14ths of May…
2005: Kevin Brown allows 5 runs in 6 innings but still wins his 100th AL game as the Yankees pummel Oakland' 15-6. Brown has now won 100 games in each league' the 9th player to do so. He's backed by homers from Derek Jeter' A-Rod' Jorge Posada' and Tino Martinez' who drives in 5 runs.
1997: In Minneapolis' Paul O'Neill ties the score with an RBI double in the ninth' then homers in the 12th inning to lead the Yanks to a 6-5 win over the Twins. O'Neill doubles off Rick Aguilera' and hit his seventh homer of the season off Eddie Guardado. O'Neill also makes an error' his 2nd in 6 days: he had gone 235 straight games without an error. Tino Martinez adds his 16th homer' as Brian Boehringer (2-2) pitches one inning for the win.
1980: TheYankees receive 14 free passes from the Royals' pitching staff in a 16-3 win' as New York outhit KC by one' 12-11. Reliever Gary Christenson is the main culprit' walking 7 batters in just 1 2/3 innings. Infielder Jerry Terrell makes his second career pitching appearance' taking the mound for the last inning and giving up no runs and a walk.
Gary Christenson with his pitching coach
1977: At Anaheim Stadium, Don Gullett outduels Nolan Ryan to give New York a 4-1 victory over California.
1961: The Yankees sweep a pair from Detroit' taking the opener with Jim Coates pitching the 11th inning for the win. Coates pitches another 5 innings of relief to win the nitecap as well, becoming the last Yankee hurler to date to register two wins on the same day.
1957: The 'Battle of the Copacabana'
Tomorrow is meant to be an off day' but a rained out game with the A's is rescheduled. A group of Yankees go ahead anyway with a planned party and celebrate Billy Martin's 29th birthday in a raucous fashion. An ensuing fight at Manhattan's Copacabana Club leads to $5'500 in fines and the eventual trade of Billy to Kansas City. Hank Bauer allegedly starts the fight by punching a patron' although Bauer denies it. The Yanks fine Bauer, Martin, Whitey Ford' Yogi Berra and Mickey Mantle $1'000 each and Johnny Kucks $500.
1956: Future Yankee manager Bob Lemon tops the Bombers for the second time in four days to give the Indians a 3-2 win at Cleveland. New York's only scoring comes in the 4th when Gil McDougald and Mickey Mantle hit back-to-back homers
1947: Dick Tidrow, '70s Yankee pitcher, is born. Happy 65th, Dirt!
1936: Joe DiMaggio bangs three doubles and single to pace the visiting Yankees to a 6-1 win over the Browns. DiMag will end the season with a .323 batting average' and a .352 OBA' still below the league OBA average of .363. The Browns shut out the Yanks yesterday to break their 13-game losing streak.
Off the field, future Yankee player, coach and manager Dick Howser is born.
1924: It's Babe Ruth Day at the Stadium' as the Bambino receives the AL MVP Award for 1923. He is then held to a single as the Browns spoil the occasion with an 11-1 drubbing of the hosts.
1923: Paced by Wally Pipp's grand slam' the Yankees score 8 runs in the 12th against the Tigers' to put the game away. Detroit come back with three runs in the bottom of the inning to set an AL mark (later tied) for most runs in that frame.
Wally Pipp
1920: The Yankees are notified by the Giants' management that after the 1920 season' the lease allowing the American Leaguers to play in the Polo Grounds will not be renewed. No reason is given, but the recent signing of Babe Ruth appears to be the main cause. Yankee owner Jacob Ruppert responds that the Giants' 'have gone back on their word.' The Giants cave in a week later' but by then Ruppert has initiated plans to obtain a site for his own park.
1899: Earle Combs, center fielder for the great Yankee teams of the '20s, and Hall of Famer, is born.

Product Description
Giro Selector Bike Helmet
When every second counts, sometimes you have to second-guess convention. The foundation of aerodynamics is pure and unyielding; every gram of drag devours time and calories. And as the speed increases, so does the air's appetite. Instead of simply facing this challenge head-on, the Selector gives you a new edge in the race of truth – the tail. By combining a smooth front profile with either of two different lower tails, the rider can optimize the helmet for best aerodynamics based on their anatomy, riding position and even course conditions. The result is a helmet that works for you, instead of the wind.
- Suggested Use: Time Trial, Triathlon
- Features: Roc Loc TT fit system, wind tunnel and competition-proven design, X-static padding
- Construction: EPS liner, Thermoformed SL Roll Cage reinforcement, Polycarbonate shell
- Fit System: Roc Loc® 5 TT
- Ventilation: Vented eye shield aligns with deep internal ventilation channels that allow cool fresh air in, direct it across the rider's head and then exhaust heated air out

NYU Lose Smart is a two-month long weight-loss challenge offered through NYU's LiveSmart wellness program. Similar to NBC's Biggest Loser, the Lose Smart Challenge helps motivate and encourage participants to achieve their weight loss goals with the support of colleagues.
This year, 342 members of the NYU community participated (almost 50 more than last year!), 66% of whom successfully experienced weight loss by the final weigh-in. A new change this year was two Grand Prize levels – one male and one female winner – who each receive a fitness wristband for losing the highest percentage of original weigh-in weight.
And the Top Ten winning "losers" are:
10. Ian H.
9. Nathan T.
8. Sumit G.
7. Kerri C.
6. Katherine M.
5. Nanci H.
4. Paolo S.
3. Hilary S.
2. Ashley D. (female Grand Prize winner)
1. Adam W. (male Grand Prize winner)
Congratulations Adam, Ashley, and all! Please watch for upcoming LiveSmart wellness activities, health screenings, and collegial challenges.
Additionally, all registrants will receive a complimentary one month membership to David Barton Gym Astor Place for the month of March. Registration for the free month must be done by Friday, March 7. Discounted personal training session packages will be available for purchase.
Dear LiveSmart,
Thanks so much! I can't believe that I made the Top Ten! I've taken part in the "Lose Smart" Challenge for the past few years, but this was by far the best one.
Dear LiveSmart,
Thank you very much for organizing this challenge. I really appreciated the program, especially the partnership with DavidBartonGym. Because of this challenge and the free month membership, I became a member and am very excited about the classes and training sessions I've done there. And even though I didn't lose as much weight as I had hoped, I did get healthier, stronger and fitter as a result of this challenge.
Dear LiveSmart,
I just wanted to take this opportunity to say thank you. I never once made the Top Ten Weekly list, nor am I in the running for any accolades. However, the challenge gave me much more… during the eight weeks I dropped 4 sizes. Most important, I have made a life style change by going to the gym and making healthier food choices. I feel so much better and I owe it to the Livesmart program. Thank you, thank you, thank you. (Please keep up the good work!)
Dear LiveSmart,
Thanks so much for the Weight Loss Challenge program. Through it I was able to arrest winter weight gain and get a good start on Spring weight loss. The regular weigh-ins helped me stay on track on the weekends and I was even lucky enough to make the Top 10 list a couple of times. The social aspects of the program are terrific. It deepened my social connections with colleagues and gave me a reason to reach out whether to congratulate or make a walking date. Since my spouse and I both work here, it was a good opportunity to help each other in the same ways (and weighs!) :-) Thanks again!
Dear LiveSmart,
I am so excited to have lost so much weight between this year and last. Thank you for the opportunity!
Dear LiveSmart,
Thanks to one and all for organizing the spring weight-loss program. It was a great success, and I am glad to report that I reached my goal and have set new ones. I'm also happy to say that the program brought me together with three colleagues in Tisch Drama. We enjoyed cheering each other on, and will celebrate our successes together as a group. Again, many thanks.
To help you stay on track, register for many other LiveSmart wellness programs, such as Nutrition Seminars: Current Food Trends, Aging Gracefully: Adapting to Changing Nutritional Needs and more resources to help you celebrate National Nutrition Month. And see below for healthy recipe and weight loss resources.
Important note: Make sure to consult your medical provider prior to starting any weight loss program or exercise routine.

Cooking Instructions:
**Edamame is a green vegetable more commonly known as a soybean, harvested at the peak of ripening right before it reaches the "hardening" time. The word Edamame means "Beans on Branches," and it grows in clusters on bushy branches. To retain the freshness and its natural flavor, it is parboiled and quick-frozen. In East Asia, the soybean has been used for over two thousand years as a major source of protein. Edamame is consumed as a snack, a vegetable dish, used in soups or processed into sweets. As a snack, the pods are lightly boiled in salted water, and then the seeds are squeezed directly from the pods into the mouth with the fingers.
Ingredients (serves 4)
Use soy milk in place of low fat milk, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries any fruit you like dried , fresh or frozen may replace the blackberries, dark honey may replace the agave nectar, and walnuts. High in Omega 3's may replace the pecans.
Cooking Instructions:
Combine milk, water and quinoa in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 15 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Turn off heat; let stand covered 5 minutes. Stir in blackberries and cinnamon; transfer to four bowls and top with pecans. Drizzle 1 teaspoon agave nectar over each serving.

Ingredients (yields three servings):
Cooking Instructions:
Tip: The longer basil cooks the more bitter it becomes.
Healthy note: Once fresh tomatoes are cooked they release Lutein, an amino acid associated with good eye sight.
Bit of History: Fresh basil was used in Roman times and is of the mint family called, Ocimum basilicum. It is also a powerful antioxidant. It's medicinal qualities have been known in Asia for thousands of years, and it is cultivated in 123 different varieties.

the middle pocket ruins the shape of this bag. it makes it look awful and the lump from putting stuff inside hides things underneath.
Friday October 24 2014
I love the design, very nice leather and lovely accents.
Monday May 19 2014
I love this bag. It holds a lot of my stuff and the leather is soft. I like that the purse is not heavy before you put anything in it. I wish the top closure was a zip so items won't fall out easily.

Home of the Bulls and Bears, Chicago is a stronghold of sport and has teams playing baseball, basketball, American football and hockey, to name a few. If you get a chance, try to catch a game.

Thomas More has been canonized in 1935 by the Catholic Church. During his chancellorship between 1525 - 1529 in the campaign against the reformation people were killed and tortured in his name, for example, for the crime of owning an English Bible, something that is quite normal nowadays.
How is it explained that he has been made a saint by the Catholic Church?

Each Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Visual Arts student chooses an Artist Mentor whose work or point of view is of particular interest to the student, or who has a special expertise which is of use to the student's work.
During the semester, students are engaged in their creative work in their studios. The studio work is fundamentally for independent exploration but each student also has a relationship with an Artist Mentor.
The student chooses an Artist Mentor whose work or point of view is of particular interest to the student, or who has a special expertise which is of use to the student's work. Preferably, the Artist Mentor lives near the student so that periodic critiques and conversations can occur, but other modes of communications, such as the Internet, are possible and may be used if needed. It is each student's responsibility to either choose a Mentor from the program's existing list or to choose and contact a new Artist Mentor who must then be approved by the program.
You are expected to meet with your Artist Mentor on a regular basis during the semester and devote a minimum of 25 hours per week to your artistic endeavors.
While the MFA in Visual Arts is a low-residency program, we consider you a full-time student in the program. The intention of the program is to foster students' ability to work independently with discipline and focus both while enrolled in the MFA program and, especially, afterward. Students learn to integrate their artistic passion and goals within the totality of their lives.

Citizens will explore various aspects of law enforcement, including Narcotics, Investigations, a mock trial, processing a crime scene as well as a tour of the Pitt County Detention Center. Each class provides insight into the challenging tasks Deputy Sheriffs and Investigators face on a daily basis.
The next Citizen's Academy will start in the fall of 2013.
Participation in the academy requires an 10 week commitment. Classes will be held weekly on Tuesday nights from 6:30 p.m.— 8:30 p.m. with a Graduation ceremony on the final night. There is no fee for the academy and participation is limited to 25 citizens per class. Participants must be 18 or older. The class is not for any certification purposes, but rather informational in nature and provides an opportunity for learning and positive interaction between our law enforcement professionals and the citizens we serve.

I purchased this fragrance as a gift for my mom. It is not cheap, but makes me think of her whenever I smell it......probably because I know no one else that wears it! I love it myself and was pleased when it arrived safe and sound, unlike another site that broke the bottle en route to me and cancelled the whole order. Oh yeah, the fragrance is Jolie Madame by Balmain.

OMG! Can't believe I found Jolie Madame by Balmain! Used to wear it many years ago - and then it was gone from all the stores. Just by chance found the FragranceNet website recently - and was thrilled to see they had this perfume in stock. Just received it. It smells exactly the same as I remember - and I do still LOVE it. And I know for sure no one else has it. Thank you FragranceNet. Am a very happy Customer.

Jolie Madam is one of my all time favorite fragrances since Joseph Magnin's was located in the San Francisco Financial District many years ago - I have been searching for this fragrance over the years, and I'm thoroughly elated that I have finally found it again...

Every morning, the soldiers of Fort Drum wake up and begin what's called PT, or physical training. But those jumping jacks and push-ups are not getting the body ready for what a soldier actually goes through overseas. So the Army is overhauling the entire program, gearing it toward battle functionality. As part of our week-long look at these major changes to the daily routine, our Brian Dwyer shows us one of the most terrifying and intense, yet completely realistic, workouts a soldier will take part in. Today, Fort Drum moves this "Ultimate Exercise" into the water.
FORT DRUM, N.Y. -- It's said the first step is the hardest. And this step, for one soldier, was a lot harder than you might think.
"I'm scared of the water," explained Fort Drum soldier Spec. Mario Ortiz.
And Specialist Ortiz isn't alone. Fort Drum offers several swimming courses, including one for those trying to overcome that beginner's fear.
"There may come a time where they have to cross a lake or something like that and it's better for them and beneficial for them to know what to do," said Heather Mushtare, Water Safety Instructor. "Kind of get them comfortable with it and teach them the survival strokes too. I always tell them, if you get stranded somewhere, then you need to know something. This is a stroke you can do and uses less work and you can get you so many miles if you absolutely needed it."
"You need to know these skills just to preserve your own life. So for me this is like a daily basis mission, learning how to swim," said Spec. Ortiz.
While swimming alone is a great life skill and a tremendous workout, it's a lot like those push-ups and jogging - there's just a lot more to it in battle. So through Functional Fitness, the Army is about to put a whole new spin on it.
"One of the beauties of Functional Fitness is that it's meant to prepare you for the unknown and the unknowable," said Lt. Col. Sean Bernabe, 1st BCT Deputy Commanding Officer.
"They come across water. It's nighttime and they really can't see much of anything. Definitely something important to know how to get yourself through it, because if not…" said Mushtare.
The water, the darkness...the danger. Add lasers, smoke, explosions. It's quite possibly the most intense, scariest workout a soldier will ever experience.
"Basically survival. You don't want to be someone who's stuck and kind of, you don't know what to do. If you know how to survive, you're a lot better off," said Mushtare.
"It's not only designed to build the functional ability to respond in that situation, but also the mental toughness to deal with that," said Lt. Col. Bernabe.
Enough for you? Not here. The limits get pushed further, as soldiers now do it in full battle gear. Swimming in those boots with the water weight, and sometimes in battle, you've got to help out a buddy.
"It's definitely tough, but it's all about learning how to take care of yourself, let alone somebody else as well," said Mushtare.
Specialist Ortiz, who'll certainly go through it one day – well, you can probably guess the emotions running though him.
"It would be scary and I would be confused, too. I don't know if I'm going to swim. I don't know if I'm going to go under the water," said Spec. Ortiz.
That's where practice makes perfect. The exercise is all about muscle memory. No thinking, just reacting. Instinct has to take over. Ortiz is certain he'll get there.
"It's very important that you remain calm under water. That's my problem. That's why I'm here and these guys are going to help me because I'm afraid of water and if you're afraid of something you're going to choke. If you choke, somebody could get hurt including yourself," said Spec. Ortiz.

It has smaller 45s, but in all honesty, it feels really nice. Just different, stylistically.
It has smaller 45s, but in all honesty, it feels really nice. Just different, stylistically.
It's funny. I'm not a fan of machi. Now I know where to go to get a knife without. Looks perfect to me!
A little heads up, since I've had more than a few PMs/emails about this one. This beauty will be sold on my site in the coming days.
Thanks for the interest and kind words.
That is one GOOD looking knife. That handle is so crisp.
You're damn right, Don!
Here's the next knife that I will be getting from Luke (I believe). This one is the "even more Carter-like" one I mentioned earlier. It's a 240 (247mm) gyuto and with a forced mustard patina on an L6 blade. it's been hardened to 64 +/- 1. The handle is different, but I think it's a pretty nice combo. It's copper, wenge wood, a piece of a restaurant prep table, and African blackwood, with a very similar shape to the handle on the laser. Here are the pics:
Let me/us know your thoughts!
The profile looks nice... not a huge fan of the preptable-spacer though.
[FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"][I]-"we're gonna make gluten free lasagna"[/I][/FONT]
Really does look like a Carter. I'd like the spacer more if it was thinner and closer to the bolster.
Ok, guys. I've listed this beauti...what? It sold already?...Nevermind.
What's this hanging out on my breakfast bar?

Are Jews racist against non-Jews?
closed as not a real question by msh210♦ Dec 19 '11 at 17:03
It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. For help clarifying this question so that it can be reopened, visit the help center.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
No. If we were racist, then we would never be able to accept converts.
Whether or not there are Jews who are racist against non-Jews, the Torah places value on all human life. This is, after all, the message of Sefer Yonah where G-d sends a prophet to a non-Jewish nation to provoke them to repent and be spared destruction for their sins.
At the same time Torah teaches that Jews have a special relationship with G-d which non-Jews do not. As others have mentioned a non-Jew may joint the covenant and gain such a relationship, but since there is an ethnic component some people are going to be uncomfortable about this notion.
What matters is the truth value of our special relationship with Hashem (and the various rights and responsibilities which accompany it) rather than whether it can be branded with a derogatory name. Terminology can help us analyze and evaluate ideas, or it can be misused to hastily and thoughtlessly lump together seemingly similar concepts without paying attention to very real and significant distinctions.
When a family member needs assistance that takes precedence. It does not mean you are racist if you care first for your family member prior to everyone else. Even though that is the case, Hatzoloh or Chaverim do not ask you when you call them if you are a Jew. They help anyone who requests it.
We are commanded not to hate the Egyptians, who enslaved us. If we're not allowed to hate our captors, then we aren't allowed to hate any race of people.
I think there is some objective way to measure racism. One way is to measure how much business loss you would pay to accommodate your racist preferences.
Say I am hiring a massage therapist. A native indonesian that's equally pretty cost 1/3th of a chinese. If I still occasionally hire the chinese therapists, am I racist? Yea. By a factor of 3. However, Uzbekistan's therapists cost even more and they're not that hot. So I guess chinese do practices some form of reverse racism.
However, that's still not a good indicator. Different jobs tend to have different racist preferences. For example, I like to hire a chinese wife rather than a native indonesian wife. That is even though a chinese wife would cost more than Indonesian.
Am I racist? Stupidly yea. I found that out latter. However, we need to take into account facist laws in my country making it difficult to have kids outside formal marriage where price and terms are set by the state.
What about if we're not hiring a wife but something less personal. Something like cooking sushi. Am I racist if I insist on hiring chinese cooks instead of cheaper non chinese cooks.
Guess what? Even I am not that racist. It hurts my wallet. Why would I?
Jews are.
The laws insist that sushi must be cooked by fellow jews and east asian immigrants will just have to go.
Note: Is ancient judaism is racist? I think jews, like christians just want to reconcile ancient judaism with whatever prevailing politically correct norms they want to promote. C'mon guys. As sure as we know that ancient judaism did not have women suffrage, birth control, DNA based paternity tests (instead of stoning), or legal same sex marriage, I know they're about as racist as everyone else in that area and time. That is, very.

(CNN) -- After being on ice for several more months than planned, National Hockey League players are back where they belong.
And that is, of course, on the ice -- as players dashed, dipped and scored around pro rinks around North America on Saturday, the first day of the league's now abbreviated regular season.
The return was long awaited, but hardly guaranteed. NHL owners locked out players September 15, and in the subsequent months the two sides engaged in a sometimes acrimonious process to reach a new labor deal.
In that stretch, league officials canceled the All-Star Game, the annual outdoor Winter Class game and hundreds of regular season games. And they threatened to scrap the entire campaign -- like they did for the 2004-2005 season, which was also due to labor strife -- if a deal couldn't be reached in January.
But one was reached, on January 12, when the NHL Players' Association ratified a new collective bargaining agreement. The schedule came out that night, giving teams one week to get together, get in shape and get ready for the new season.
On Saturday, they were back.
Those back on the ice included the Los Angeles Kings, nine months removed from winning the franchise's first Stanley Cup championship despite being one of the two lowest-seeded squads in the playoffs.
A raucous Staples Center crowd reveled in their return, as the championship banner was raised aloft.
The team's captain, Dustin Brown, said the response was great. But, mostly, he and other players were just itching to get back on the ice.
"It's a pretty proud moment for the team," he told NBC. "But as players we just wanted to get it up there and start playing."
The game did not quite work out the Kings' way. They fell to the Chicago Blackhawks, 5-2.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) -- The University of Virginia is opening a center focused on the assessment and treatment of children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.
The university says that rather than approach the disorder as a problem to be fixed, the Children's Learning Clinic will focus on unlocking the potential of children with ADHD.
The Curry School of Education will operate the clinic, which will be open to the public for children ages 8 to 12 who have been diagnosed with ADHD or have been experiencing symptoms associated with the disorder. Clinic director Michael Kofler says educators there believe these children can go from struggling to thriving.
Kofler has designed an extensive assessment process. Two weeks after testing, parents receive a report. Children who qualify will be eligible for a 10-week, non-medication treatment.

Deadline Nearing for Small Business Owners to Contact Revenue Department About Regulations
Small business owners who think a particular South Carolina Department of Revenue regulation poses a hardship on their business have until Sept. 1 to let the department know.
A 2004 law requires the Department of Revenue to review agency regulations to determine if any place an undue hardship on small business owners. If so, the "South Carolina Small Business Regulatory Flexibility Act of 2004" requires the department to take corrective action to reduce the regulation's impact. The department can either rescind the regulation or amend it to reduce the burden it places on small business owners.
The department is currently reviewing its regulations and is interested in hearing from small business owners -- or their employees -- who believe a department regulation poses an economic hardship on their business activities. The department has been accepting comments from small business owners since February and will continue accepting comments through Sept. 1.
Owners or employees can review current department regulations at www.scstatehouse.net/coderegs/117.htm. Comments or suggestions about a regulation can be emailed to John McCormack of the Department of Revenue Policy Section at firstname.lastname@example.com, or mailed to
SC Department of Revenue
John McCormack – Policy Section
PO Box 12265
Columbia, SC 29211
Additional information on the department's small business regulations review can be found at www.sctax.org, under the section, "What's New."
