Burned Crown Point home still not cleaned up
By Carrie Napoleon Post-Tribune correspondent November 29, 2012 5:28PM
Updated: January 1, 2013 6:35AM
CROWN POINT — County officials again are looking to have the owner of a home on Lane Street destroyed by fire earlier this year clean up the property and make it safe.
Ned Kovachevich, director of the Lake County Plan Commission, said officials conducted a re-inspection of the property at 10813 Lane St. to see what progress was made cleaning the site, removing unsafe structures and filling and grading the land.
"Upon a re-inspection of the site (Tuesday), we discovered that the property remains in an unsafe condition," Kovachevich said.
The Lake County Unsafe Buildings Enforcement Authority found in June the home owned by Stewart J. Roth was in violation of the county's Unsafe Buildings Ordinance since it burned in a catastrophic fire May 1.
The home burned the day Roth, a manager at Tierra Environmental and Industrial Services in East Chicago, pleaded guilty to one count of violating the Clean Water Act for dumping waste at a company-owned site on 141st Street in Hammond.
Roth is expected to testify against his co-defendants NH Environmental Group, which owns Tierra, and owner Ronald Holmes, and that trial has been moved to December.
Five additional charges of violating the Clean Water Act and one count of conspiracy to defraud the federal government were dropped in return for the plea.
Shortly after learning of the county's concerns Roth began to have the property cleaned. That work was not complete.
Kovachevich said he would like to work with Roth to address the county's concerns instead of having the "dangerous situation corrected by the Unsafe Buildings Hearing Authority."
In order to bring the property into compliance the remaining above-grade structures must be removed including foundation walls, and the foundation and swimming pool must be filled in. Kovachevich said there are a number of ways that could be done, but that would be up to Roth.
The voice mailbox was full for a listing for a Stewart J. Roth in Hammond.

OMB Uniform Guidance: The Promise of Federal Grants Reform
- Details
From the National Council of Nonprofits
Effective Friday, Dec. 26, new rules from the federal Office of Management and Budget make clear that governments at all levels — local, state and federal — entering into written agreements with nonprofits to deliver services to the public have an affirmative duty to pay their fair share of the costs that those nonprofits incur.
Specifically, the OMB Uniform Guidance requires pass-through entities — typically states and local governments receiving federal funding — and all federal agencies to reimburse nonprofits for some or all of their indirect costs.
"The changes promised by the new rules are a major victory for people who depend on nonprofits every day," said Tim Delaney, President and CEO of the National Council of Nonprofits.
"If properly implemented, the new rules will finally end the harmful practice of governments, including those at the state and local levels, imposing artificially low limits on the reimbursement of indirect costs that nonprofits must incur when delivering services on behalf of governments.
"Those arbitrary caps have essentially forced charitable nonprofits to subsidize government." See full statement from the National Council of Nonprofits.
Turning the Promise into Reality
The OMB Uniform Guidance will require the coordination and cooperation of many partners in the government contracting and grant-making relationship. Action is needed to turn the promise of the OMB Uniform Guidance into realty:
Charitable Nonprofits: The Uniform Guidance provides only the promise of improved treatment; it is incumbent upon each organization to:
- Take action to own its own costs.
- Learn its rights under the new rules.
- Protect those rights through advocacy, both on its own behalf with each grant and contract, as well as by engaging in efforts with the broader nonprofit community.
State and Local Governments: Work in collaboration with the network of the National Council of Nonprofits to promote consistent interpretations and application of the Uniform Guidance and ensure full and fair implementation of the cost principles and other federal grants reform.
Foundation Leaders and Program Officers: Help in alerting your nonprofit grantees of the promise of the Uniform Guidance and of their need to utilize and protect their rights.
For more information, see the council's webpage on the OMB Uniform Guidance.

McCroskey denies making harassing phone calls. He admits he exchanged words with RTD staffers on a few occasions, but only, he says, because his requests for public information were being denied.
"They are really out to get me," McCroskey says. "They're knifing me in the back. I deny that I ever did anything to those people."
As part of her plan to win the auditor's race, Sandy Adams has purchased huge bundles of sample ballots from the Denver Election Commission. Before handing them out to voters, Adams has circled her name with red marker and added the words: "The only CPA!"
The 46-year-old Adams constantly cites her status as an accountant as the most important thing distinguishing her from the other candidates. "This job pays $84,000," she says. "Don't you think it deserves a professional?"
But Adams's professional aspirations have long been linked more closely to politics than accounting. She has been on the periphery of state and city government for more than fifteen years. In 1979 she was named a "government affairs manager" with Mountain Bell, a job that entailed lobbying the Colorado Legislature on behalf of the phone company. Adams jumped over to a management position with Public Service Company of Colorado in 1990, the year before she was elected to a four-year term on the Denver Election Commission. A longtime Republican activist, Adams last year sought her party's nomination for secretary of state but lost out to Vikki Buckley. She resigned from Public Service in January to run for auditor.
Adams has spent much of the campaign emphasizing the mundane aspects of the auditor's job--things like "fixed asset inventories" and "audit control mechanisms." Like McCroskey, she decries the politicization of the auditor's role in city government.
"With the mayor and auditor both running for mayor of Denver, how do I know who to believe?" Adams asks. "I guess it's a matter of credibility and agendas and motives."
But Adams's own credibility has been questioned during the campaign. In February the Denver Post reported that she had been improperly representing herself as a CPA when she did not actually hold an accounting license in the state. Adams had passed the CPA exam in her native New York in the mid-1970s but had never bothered to transfer the license to Colorado. State regulations require accountants to obtain a Colorado license before holding themselves out as CPAs here.
McCroskey in particular has made a stink about Adams's CPA status. He calls her claims "a disservice to the Colorado accounting profession." Adams brushes off the criticisms. Since the Post story ran, she has obtained her Colorado license. "That's no big deal," she says.
One of Adams's biggest assets may be her gender, says Denver political consultant Steve Welchert. "I give Sandy Adams lots of points for being the only woman in the race," Welchert says. Her affiliation with the Republican Party may prove a boon as well; the party has paid for a mailer urging voters to support her. Pollster Floyd Ciruli, though, points out that Republicans often find themselves in "deep trouble" running citywide in heavily Democratic Denver.
One Republican Party activist says Adams's biggest drawback may be a sheer lack of charisma. When she was angling for the secretary of state job last year, the activist points out, Adams failed to garner enough party support to even get her name on the ballot.
"I don't think she's got the political winsmanship," the activist says. "She's kind of like eating grits. Just bland."
Though he's a two-term city councilman who presumably should enjoy considerable name recognition, Dave Doering has been the ghost candidate of the auditor's race. Misfortune--some of it of his own making, some not--has cast a black cloud over his campaign.
Doering, for instance, was lucky enough to get Richard Tucker, president of Denver's Tri-State Bank, to serve as his campaign treasurer. The well-connected Tucker, Doering assumed, would prove a major fundraising asset.
But on April 8, Tucker and his wife, Pat, were in Atlanta attending a Salvation Army National Board meeting. An evening barbecue took place at the luxurious home of B. Franklin Skinner, former president and chief executive officer of the Southern Bell phone company.
During the evening, more than 100 of Skinner's guests, including Pat Tucker, crowded onto a wooden deck attached to the house. The deck collapsed, plummeting fifteen feet onto a concrete patio below. Pat Tucker had to be hospitalized for several days in Atlanta, Doering says.
The accident couldn't have come at a worse time for Doering. Richard Tucker remained in Georgia with his wife, Doering says, and the candidate was forced to cancel an important fundraiser for his campaign.
Doering says his campaign research shows he has an excellent shot at winning the auditor's race--if he can raise enough money to get his message out. Otherwise, he concedes, the strongly bankrolled Mares has a huge advantage over him. "To know the dollars are the obstacle is extremely frustrating," Doering says.
The 43-year-old Doering says he's the only one of the five candidates who understands the inner workings of Denver city government. A lawyer by training, he says his eight years representing west Denver on the city council, including a stint as council president, give him the best credentials for the auditor's job.

DANIELE Distressed Leather Belt Loop Pouch
Size: |
Exterior: Approx. 6"H x 5"W x 1.75"D Interior: Approx. 4.5"H x 5"W (tapers to 4.5"W at bottom) x 1"D |
Marco's leather accessories boast a style that is rugged-chic, and possess a distinctly artisanal look and feel.
His accessories undergo a unique manufacturing process, where each item is dyed and distressed in its entirety after all the parts are put together. This technique (patented by Marco's Campomaggi brand) not only gives Marco's leather accessories their vintage, weathered look, but also makes each single piece really a one-of-a-kind work of art.
These key fobs and belts make a great companion to his signature distressed leather bags.
Do You Like This Product?
Get to know Daniele and Emi!
Talking directly to the owners has its advantages. Fill out this form to start the conversation:
The definition of rugged-chic is embodied by this leather belt loop pouch. The distressed leather and the old world look give it a rugged aura while the beautiful design and the refined leather strap make it very chic.>
Not only is the DANIELE stylish, it is also very functional. It has enough room for a wallet and a smartphone (up to about 4.3" diagonal), and can be worn on the belt or cross-body. When worn on the belt the pouch feels very secure and you can take off running. The ingenious design positions the pouch below the belt, allowing for a more comfortable alignment with your body (and less shirt-scrunching, too, when sporting the "tucked out" look).
*Please note that this pouch no longer comes with the thin leather strap attachment that Daniele refers to in the video!
Please note that the PATENTED TREATMENT these pouches go through guarantees that no two pouches are exactly alike. Because each "skin" is unique in the way it absorbs color, stretches and shrinks, each finished bag is distinct in its color, tonality, and texture. The resulting shape and size may also vary slightly.
Features:- Handmade with 100% Italian full-grain leather
- One main compartment with flap
- Nub and slit closure -- simply push the nub through the slit in the leather to close (it's a rather tight closure at first, but after a few days, it will become much easier as the leather stretches)
- Leather strap (49" long) with easy attachment/detachment nubs allows bag to be worn cross-body
- Campomaggi logo studs throughout
- Leather belt loop accommodates belts up to 1.75" wide (depending also on belt thickness)

We started talking about religion… He was trying to convert me to Christianity and I was telling him the truth, that Jesus was actually a house cat.

Scotts®, the dominant lawn care company, turned to our Vertical Innovation process in order to improve the consumer experience with their products. They wanted to discover new business opportunities within their category, and bring new consumers into their expanded target market.
The Nottingham Spirk innovation team worked closely with Scotts to understand the underlying emotions and 'real life' frustrations with current products. Through a seamless process of creating new concepts, developing engineering layouts, prototyping dispenser/ package system, and regular checkpoint testing with consumers, we translated these user insights into the Snap system.
The Scotts Snap Pac system was carefully designed to eliminate the most common annoyances associated with spreading fertilizer, seeds, and weed killer. The design solution combined a new intuitive spreader with a self-sealing new cartridge package. With the Snap Pac, consumers never touch or even smell the chemicals, or fiddle with spreader settings. The unique package easily locks into place and adjusts the material flow rate automatically.

From the 2012 Scotts Annual Report
"The nationwide rollout in fiscal 2012 of Scotts Snap marked the biggest innovation in lawn care in years, and the rollout was largely in line with internal goals. Two years of consumer testing in select markets demonstrated a high level of appeal for the Snap system, and satisfaction rates remain extremely high, which we believe will translate into a strong level of consumer support going forward. We believe the Snap system will become a significant part of our lawn business over the next three to four years, and we will continue to support Snap with advertising and in-store merchandising displays in fiscal 2013."

As its name suggests, California Roll is hardly a classical sushi recipe. It is, however, extremely popular across the United States and elsewhere. It is a superb blend of textures - cooked crab, avocado and cucumber.
Although it is quite possible to make a small roll with sparing amounts of these fillings, inside-out rolls allow for generous servings. A vegetarian version of the California Roll can be made using a combination of cucumber, cooked dried gourd, thinly sliced parboiled carrot, mangetouts and cream cheese!
To prepare the avocado, halve it, cutting around the stone. Remove the stone and using a large spoon scoop out the flesh from each half in one piece. Slice into strips.

Big and bluesy with undercurrents of something more soulful…the Big V describe themselves as the perfect combination of striking looks and artful hooks.
CF Verdict
The Big V are a five-piece band from Exeter fronted by brother and sister Emily and Alex Johnstone. Heavily influenced by their father Phil Johnstone (who worked with Robert Plant for eight years) their sound is described as a musical journey into all those who have inspired them… and what a weird and wonderful journey it is.
Listening through their Soundcloud tracks (and there are plenty of them!) is like disappearing down the rabbit hole. Its virtually impossible to listen to one track and get a handle on exactly what this group are all about, you have to listen to 3 or 4 and keep listening and keep listening. It's music with an addictive quality and it's so varied it keeps you coming back for more.
Their band bio talks about taking the listener on a journey into the worlds of people who have inspired them and you can really pick out individual influences in their music whether it be the early big blues rock of the afformentioned Led Zeppelin on tracks like '200 Miles to Berlin', or the grungier 'Black Bear 3′, an almost Santana-esque atmopshric pop vibe on Medicine, hints of a big psychedelic Tame Impala like sound on 'Murder Song' or' Guilty' and an unmistakeable Bar Keys style funk on 'Cool' this is a band of musicians who clearly have talent by the boat load and arent afraid to mix it up.
In amongst all of the great genre-bending instrumental work are the vocals of Emily Johnstone and brother Alex which almost Fleetwood Mac style have the range, in Emily's case especially, to go from a turned up to 11 rock to a sultry blues to an acoustic ballad effortlessly.
The songwriting is great, the mix of styles is great and its going to take something very special to stop them being in our list of tracks of the year. The only problem is choosing just one…

MSI GT683DX(R)/MS-16F2 GPU Upgrade - AMD RADEON HD 6990M Succeed!
So yeah I bought the card from Quadzilla in NBR marketplace and it works nicely.
Booted into windows, installed the catalyst 11.10 preview 2 BC3 - RAGE beta.
Below is a few pics of the 2 cards, heatsink and a screenshot after I installed the driver and reboot.
The stock heatsink in its default place, notice the warranty sticker is kinda of no consequence, you can just put it out and stick to anywhere you want and then put back in later, and it seems that the original sticker was already tampered with.
GTX 570M just pulled out the heatsink, in its original slot:
The heatsink pulled out completely:
The backside, notice the 2 RAM chip space not covered with thermal pad and the themal pad right above it is slightly not in the correct position for the 6990M (that small thingy I dont know how to call it :P)
Backside fullview:
Behold the GTX 570M! (is there any screenshot of it on the internet yet?)
AMD Radeon HD 6990M!
GTX 570M vs HD 6990M side by side:
I have to pry out the back faceplate thingy off the 6990M with a knife while being very gentle with the card ( though not with myself as I cut my thumb finger ) for it to fit in the slot.
I was going to leave it as it and brute force it into place but the cost of it reminded me to be careful and leave no mistake. Thank god I didnt do that.
About the missing thermal pad on 2 RAM chips, for now I temporarily put thermal paste in them, not sure if thats a good idea. Thought?
And the slightlt out of place grey/brown thingy. Should I do anything about it? I just put the thermal pad on it then the heatsink so it would half contact with the heatsink (i think).
The system boot up nicely, windows show up standard VGA as expected and I installed the catalyst driver right away.
First reboot it show 48*C idle at first then continue to stay at 52-53*C at 90V. Thats not very good so what should I do? GPU observer no longer have the memory load option and funny that the fanspeed now always show at 30%.
Just run Crysis 2 for 10-15 and it stay at 85-86*C and Im hesistant at playing any longer for fear the card may get damaged.
The first triumphant pic I posted in other topic:
Another pic of Hwinfo and 3dmark vantage result. Hwinfo run while I was typing this and after benchmark. As you can see the temparature is a bit too high, and the score is not that great, what can i do? (just uninstalled the rest of nvidia drivers but havent reboot yet)
AMD Radeon HD 6970M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-2860QM Processor,Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. MS-16F2 score: P11580 3DMarks
So yeah my concern is about that miscontacted grey/brown transistor or something.
The missing thermal pad on the 2 RAM chips.
Overall temps.
Any optimization tips? since this is literally my first time using an AMD/ATI card.
Most effective pasting method? Pea, tube, etc,...
Last but not least the way I repaste CPU/GPU is with the material remover surface purifier then apply the paste, is that correct?
And currently I have the Artic Silver 5 and GELID GC-Extreme (which im using)
Newegg.com - GELID Solutions GC-Extreme Thermal Compound
is it any good? Should I keep it or switch back to AS5 or another brand?
Can you recommend any specific thermal pad for me to purchase?
Thanks for reading guys and if possible a little rep for the effort wouldnt hurt :PLast edited by long2905; 15th October 2011 at 05:17 PM.

Re: MSI GT683DX(R)/MS-16F2 AMD RADEON HD 6990M Succeed!
On the M15x and M17xR2s those guys never have any thermal pads except for the RAM and when i had the M15x with a 6990 i tried to pad the card as close to my R3 as possible but the heatsink was not designed with that in mind so really im not sure it helps or hurts.
Its been an on going debate between me and a friend about what those backend pads are actually doing for the temps/card etc .
Are they keeping the heat away from heatsink since they are so thick ?.
Are they transferring heat to the heatsink and ultimately getting cooled be it very little since the pads are so thick ?.
Since there are quite a few people running 6990s out there with 0 thermal pads except on the RAM i cannot truly tell you whether long term of having no pads or having them is going to help/hurt the card
For the moment i would not worry to much about that stuff and mainly just focus on getting your temps down on the things you can monitor via Hwinfo.
As for paste on the memory that is fine and i have used paste plenty of times on VRAM but i always use a silicon based paste like Arctic Alumina not Arctic silver. MX-4 or OCZ freeze would be fine on the RAM but i am not sure id want to put say IC diamond on the Vram cause that is stuff is messy as heck..
Most people on the Alienware forums are using these thermal Pads fujipoly 0.5 mm . Some people buy the 1mm ones but most have found the best temps from the 0.5s
Right now i am using the stock ones myself and my temps are great.Last edited by Quadzilla; 15th October 2011 at 04:57 PM.

Re: MSI GT683DX(R)/MS-16F2 AMD RADEON HD 6990M Succeed!
Did you completely wipe the Nvidia drivers before installing the AMD card ?.
My stock score on the 6990m with the RAGE driver is around 13,400 on the GPU portion.
You may want to run Driver sweeper and make sure all remnants of the Nvidia drivers have been wiped clean and go from there.
Also what does Does GPU Z say ? is the card running in 16x PCIexpress 2.0 . Highlight that area with your mouse and see what the window says that pops up with the cursor hovering over it .

Re: MSI GT683DX(R)/MS-16F2 AMD RADEON HD 6990M Succeed!
I think im gonna pull it out and repaste with AS5 and put back some thermal pad that still got stuck on the GTX 570M I just noticed.
umm not really in a rush I just installed the catalyst driver right away and choose custom to skip some components, can that be problem? Only after the system rebooted that I uninstall nvidia related stuff. Then After benchmarking that I rebooted again.
Will try driver sweeper but theres no link on guru3d :-ss. Should I uninstall them all nvidia + amd, sweeper clean than proceed with catalyst again?
I hovered over that area and it said: "It is currently running at PCI-Express x16 v2.0."

Re: MSI GT683DX(R)/MS-16F2 AMD RADEON HD 6990M Succeed!
Skipping stuff like Hydravison and a couple of those other things wont have any effect so dont worry about that.
Yeah you need to do some cleaning though of the old drivers and worst case scenario if you are still not happy with the performance back up your current OS with something like Acronis and start a fresh OS install and go from there.
This download should work for Driver Sweeper.
Phyxion.net - Driver Sweeper
When installing it uncheck that crap 3rd party thing it asks you to install its some search bar or something so pay attention when installing it
A fresh install of the OS though will be the easiest way to trouble shoot vs spending hours trying other things but if your PC is loaded down with all kinds of apps that you will have to reinstall and download
then you may not be in the mood to do all that . Thats also why i suggest backing up the current OS so if you do a fresh install and find you have the same exact performance then you can just roll right back to your old OS.

Re: MSI GT683DX(R)/MS-16F2 AMD RADEON HD 6990M Succeed!
hmm I repasted both the CPU and GPU with the AS5 and the CPU temp seems to decrease a bit while the GPU is now 60-61*C. I did line method on the CPU and pea on GPU.
Very tempted to do a fresh windows install since driver sweeper doesnt help and I cannot load catalyst control center up. But have to deal with the temp first. Time to pull it out again.

Re: MSI GT683DX(R)/MS-16F2 AMD RADEON HD 6990M Succeed!
You dont need much paste at all on the GPU and you may want to try the other paste you have as well.
The last time you pasted if it made good contact and spread all the way across the core use less this time. It usually takes me a few times minimum before i am happy so you may have to as well.
As for Catalyst Control Center not opening hmm yeah try the fresh install for sure because i dont know what all you have on your machine.

Re: MSI GT683DX(R)/MS-16F2 AMD RADEON HD 6990M Succeed!
I'm not sure what the temps are typical for that, but aren't the 6990m and 580m supposed to be hotter than the 570m in general? Hmm, not sure why the stock scores are lower, but I'll do some looking around. I think this is the first picture of the 570m. It looks like it has the same setup as the 580m (with a wider surface area on the core), and less 2 VRAM chips. I'm starting to think that the 580m WOULD work as a plug n play! Shouldn't even have to switch drivers too. Great job on the upgrade process so far dragon, and thanks for the pictures!

It all started when I wanted to buy a new desk. My friend Sue and I went to IKEA. Nearly five hours later, we exited with a couple of trollies full of things. I bought this - Vika Amon/Vika Curry.
It didn't fit in my car. Just as well it fitted into Sue's.
Got it home and looked at it for a few days before deciding it didn't fit in the space I had allocated to it. Moved it to the sewing room, where it will fit nicely, once I reorganise the room and remove another table.
Back to IKEA, where I bought this - Vika Amon/Vika Alex. The drawers weighed 61kg, so some creative sliding of the package was required. Very happy because the desk fits nicely and all my messy things are stored in the drawers.
But the table I was previously using as a desk is now going to be the cutting table in the sewing room. So the bench I have been using as a cutting table has to move to the dining room. So the side table that was in the dining room has to go - somewhere?
Now I'm thinking another Vika Amon table would extend my corner desk in the sewing room to a useful size. The bookshelf would have to move, along with the sewing machine table....
I love the clean look of white so I know that after I eventually finish I will be very pleased that I started rearranging. However, it may take some time!

It has a fresh scent, but it is nothing I would repurchase. Smells like laundry detergent mixed in with fruits. (In a good way) Got my bottle of $10 at burlington great deal.

Wow-what a buy! $10 at TJ Maxx. Also a very delightful surprise as I wasn't really expecting to love this, but I do! It's totally pretty and fresh and great for the upcoming warm weather. Doesn't wear you down and it's sweet enough to satisfy my gourmand preferences. This was a good deal all the way around! I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to smell yummy and girly. After all, who's more girly than Jessica? I just received my first introduction to the Fancy line with a bottle RIS of Fancy Love-which is my favorite. Then I found a bottle of Fancy Nights on sale at CVS-my least favorite. Perhaps she tried to make Fancy Nights more seductive, whatever it was, I didn't love it like I did the Fancy Love which totally delighted me and my husband. Now all I have to do is score a bottle of the first one Fancy and I'll be a happy girl! I'm a 59 yr. old teenager and I love these new fragrances that are popular these days. When I was in my younger years, Poison, Giorgio, Paloma Picasso, and Opium were the heavy hitters. The lighter, more floral and sweet fragrances these days make those seem like wearing lighter fluid! I really do enjoy wearing Jessica Simpson's Fancy collection. If there is anyone out there with a bottle of Fancy who wants to swap-PLMK!!

This is a really simple and fresh scent. I pick up mostly floral notes, if you don't like floral perfumes I would not recommend it. I like pretty much all of the Fancy perfumes from Jessica Simpson and this is probably my second favorite (original Fancy being my first). I think this would be a good scent to wear in the spring and summer, and it reminds me a tiny bit of Marc Jacob's Daisy and one of the Coach floral scents as well (can't remember off the top of my head which one, Poppy maybe?) Like some others have said, staying power is not too bad but not GREAT, in my opinion. I sprayed on 3-4 sprays this morning and the scent lasted 2-3 hours or so. I love the price because I was able to get a big bottle of this for $19.99 at Marshall's. I don't think I would buy this for the full price they sell it for at Macy's or another department store, but if I ran out and happened to see it in Marshall's or TJ Maxx again for the lower price, I'd definitely get it again!

Ordered this at a good price online, beautiful bottle, fresh scent that's pleasant. Not sure that I would purchase again though. Smells very similar to Brittney Spears Curious to me.

This perfume smells like shampoo...in the absolute best way possible. It's a very uncomplicated scent. There's a burst of sunshiney fruit notes at the very beginning- apple and pear mostly. Then the floral notes come out. Fragrantica lists them as lily of the valley and hyacinth. I got a lilac vibe from it, but that must have just been from the combination of the other floral notes. There's a singular appeal to this fragrance that is hard to explain. I think it's a balance of elements- the perfume retains a sort of juicy warmth from the background of fruity notes, but also has a very sheer, almost watery quality to the composition (stemming, I think, from the florals and base of white musk) that adds a sort of coolness. The balance of warm and cool is what keeps this fragrance interesting for me. It takes the run-of-the-mill fruity-floral concept and balances the notes in such a way as to create something unique. I'm more of a powerhouse fragrance type of girl, so I don't expect to use this light and pretty fragrance very often, so I don't suppose I'll have the opportunity to repurchase. But it will retain a special spot in my collection and I expect it will be very lovely and refreshing in the spring and summer months.

I am shocked that I purchased this and that I like it so much. Okay, I am a slight perfume snob! Sorry. Anyway, I was shopping for a leather jacket today and the sales assistant was wearing this scent. It was subtle and very feminine and just appealed to me, so I purchased it. I mainly wear Narciso Rodriguez on a daily basis. I Fancy You is just a fresher floral that is undeniably feminine. I spritzed in on hours ago and can still smell it. It is not groundbreaking and original, but it smells really great. Sometimes simple and pretty is nice.

Smelled this on my wrist at Macy's the other day, and I have to give Jessica kudos for making a scent that's actually tolerable to my nose. It's a clean, fresh type of scent...although it's not very unique in my opinion. I can't describe the notes on this one, but it reminds me too much of something I would've worn when I was younger. Overall, a nice smell but not something I want to add to my collection.

I bought I Fancy You at Macy's. It is a pleasant and fresh smell. You smell as if you've just gotten out of a shower. I would not recommend because I want to be the only one who wears it. The only thing is I wish it had a better staying power, but I would not mind reapplying b/c it smells so nice. The best of the 4.
7 out of 8 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Jess does it again! This is Jessica Simpson's 4th and final installment in the Fancy line and it's a total winner. This is a really gorgeous fragrance in the same vein as Chanel Eau Tendre and Marc Jacobs Daisy. If you like either of those, I highly recommend giving this a try, as I think they're all extremely similar, but Jess' is a bit more complex and more affordable as well. It's a clean, bright, girly scent that's not too sweet and not beat you over the head strong either. The bottle is absolutely beautiful in person as well with its light blue glass and silver lettering and cap.
For $49 for a 1.7 oz or $59 for 3.7 oz, you can't go wrong.
Thank you Jessica!
UPDATE: I have compared this head to head with the very similar Marc Jacobs Daisy EDP (2 sprays on on arm each) and have compared.
1. Initial Spray Winner: I Fancy You. It's just a bigger, prettier, fragrance than Daisy. It's got more floral in it than Daisy, but I still think they smell very similar. Jess' is prettier though.
2. Dry Down Winner: Daisy EDP: Once these dried down, Jessica's was already pretty faint, but Daisy had settled into a gorgeous, rich floral. Jess' drydown is a pretty floral mixed with I think musk, but it's VERY soft. You have to have your nose right up to your arm to smell it.
3. Longevity Winner: Daisy EDP: This one is self-explanatory. I've been wearing both fragrances for over 6 hours now, and I can't smell I Fancy You at all, but I can still smell Daisy pretty strongly.
That said, since Jessica's fragrance is SO pretty, I really do think it might be worth it to keep it and just invest in the body lotion to increase longevity. I'll try it.

The Angst Existential
When I find myself wondering at the brevity, the absurdity, the concurrently enormous and infinitesimal nature of this life, I am in turns inspired and amused…but mostly, I'm terrified. While we must all ultimately face the certain fate of every being on this earth alone, we can share our dread about it…here! together! now! While shows like Cosmos give me reason fill with astonished wonder as I meditate on the fact that I'm made of star-stuff, I will now instead share some of the most beautifully irreverent media I know…read more

The philosophy founded by Eli Siegel |
This article was originally published in the Tennessee Tribune 8/26/99Aesthetic Realism was founded in 1941 by the eminent educator, Eli Siegel. This paper was part of a public seminar by New York City teachers who presented, with evidence from their own classrooms, the proven success over 20 years of the Aesthetic Realism Teaching Method, at the not-for-profit Aesthetic Realism Foundation, 141 Greene Street, New York, NY 10012. The Aesthetic Realism Teaching Method is based on crucial principles stated by Mr. Siegel, as outlined in the published announcement for this seminar: 1. "The purpose of education is to like the world through knowing it." To like the world is also the deepest desire of every person, whether Latino, African-American, Asian, European, student or teacher. 2. The central cause of failure to learn is contempt for the world..."the lessening of what is different from oneself as a means of self-increase as one sees it."... And contempt is the cause of prejudice. 3. Every subject in the curriculum has a structure which is logical, understandable, beautiful–and which represents the world itself: "The world, art, and self explain each other," Mr. Siegel wrote: "each is the aesthetic oneness of opposites." Through this principle, the very subjects that children across the US are failing — including spelling, phonics, arithmetic, history — become clear, vivid, and tremendously meaningful, and they learn! It is a beautiful fact that through the Aesthetic Realism teaching method, children learn to read with eagerness and real pleasure — including many who have been brutalized by an economic system that is contemptuous of their needs and so unjust to them. For the past 26 years, through this method, I have been able to teach young people — some of whom, at age seven, were already so weary and angry they had great difficulty learning — to read with comprehension, and to love the English language! I teach English as a Second Language at PS 97 to children from kindergarten through sixth grade, who live on the Lower East Side, in one of the poorest neighborhoods of New York City. Every day I feel more keenly how shameful it is that in this wealthy country children and their families have to struggle so hard for the basic necessities of life. Many do not have warm clothing or enough food; and some live in a center for homeless families. They are frightened by violence they see. One young boy often spoke about his uncle who was shot on the street. Aesthetic Realism is new and so kind in explaining that a child's ability to learn is very much affected by whether he or she sees the outside world as a possible friend or as a cruel and fearsome place — to be fought or shut out. To these students, who came from Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, South Africa and Mali, English words and sentences represented a world they saw as hurting and disappointing them. I knew it was my job to show them — and I could through this teaching method — that the English language is not an enemy, but, in fact, has a structure which makes sense, is beautiful — that it can bring the feelings of other people, the sights and places of the world to them, and add to them. And that is what occurred through lessons I gave based on this principle stated by Eli Siegel: "The world, art, and self explain each other: each is the aesthetic oneness of opposites." The essential opposites in reading are self and world.

"We all want to live in a home that fits our needs and lifestyle," said Baker. "Unfortunately, most of us don't discuss or think about certain aspects of our homes until a crisis occurs and it becomes obvious we are living in a place that no longer matches our needs and abilities."
Baker emphasized, "We often forget our homes are aging along with us, and in many cases, our homes aren't aging as well as we are."
Baker, chapter Vice President Catherine A. Wolfe and chapter Secretary Dr. Eulah L. Peterson were among the AARP volunteers from across Mississippi who participated in The Home Fit Volunteer training at the AARP state office in Jackson last August.
According to Ivory L. Craig, AARP associate state director for community outreach, "The Home Fit workshops offer information and tips to help make our homes convenient and livable as we age."
The Mound Bayou volunteers are now trained and available to provide Home Fit workshops throughout Congressional District 2 — including most of Jackson, Clarksdale, Greenville, Greenwood, Clinton and Vicksburg.
For more information, contact the AARP Chapter Home Fit Volunteers at 662-741-2683, 662-741-2599 or 662-843-0798.
"We have the power to make life better," said Baker.

Knights of Heros is an organization which we fully support. Their goal of supporting children, of veterans killed while on active duty, is heartwarming to us. The KOH help these children realize their own potential and cope with the ultimate sacrifice that their parent gave to their country.

Know Your Lore: Where is WoW's story headed in the distant future? {WoW}
Jan 18th 2012 3:16PM I see two possibilities, and they are not mutually exclusive:
1. An exciting new entertainment franchise is started several years from now that bears a passing resemblance to existing (but largely unused) WoW lore and/or artwork. Rather than expand on the original thoughts and ideas put forward by the Blizzard of years ago, the setting and overall theme will be reconfigured to take advantage of the entertainment franchise in question while still trying to bear a passing resemblance to the older art and ideas.
2. The story will go wherever Blizzard needs it to go, as long as it provides them a basis for introducing whatever dungeons, raids or (in the case of Cataclysm) zones they already had in mind before they actually create the story. In other words, the precise opposite of the way it should be done.
The OverAchiever: Why Icecrown was less fun than Sunwell {WoW}
Aug 25th 2011 3:50PM The argument may have been articulated poorly, but the implied point stands. A fraction of the player base was seeing the endgame content and Blizzard changed that in WotLK. Based on reader comments that I see here and at MMO Champion, this is a bad thing because it means the raiders have to find new ways to make themselves feel superior to the remaining playerbase. Mounts and achievements are Blizzard's answers to that complaint.
Your article points out, and rightly so, that this has changed raiding and not necessarily for the better. Still, it is unreasonable to think that Blizzard should spend much of their time designing content no one will see.
The fact is this: The company that can successfully address the desires and needs of both hardcore and and casual players is well on their way to having a successful MMORPG. Hardcore raiders, despite their negative opinions of more casual players, can not be allowed to dictate game direction. Devoting a disproportionate amount of resources towards content very few people will see is a waste. The mentality that it is all about the raiders all the time is gone for those companies who wish to appeal to a large audience.

It is possible, at some point in the far future, that I'll have keystones to burn. Right now my Archaeology is almost capped, but I will need keystones for a long time, especially Tol'vir, Night Elf and Dwarf. All 3 races offer weapons and trinkets that are useful, to say nothing of the Tol'vir related mounts. There is no way in hell I'm wasting one of these on a PUG. Hell, I won't use the Tol'vir ones on even a guild run. I donate alot of time, money and gear to my guild, but this is ridiculous.

Watch and marvel as you heal through damage, heal through even more damage, and heal through all that damage even when you are mana drained. (Thanks Word of Glory!)
It is an amazing sight to behold to actually see one of these guys in action and taking some of the Paladin heals off of mana entirely has made for an interesting new dynamic in PvP. I'll be very curious to see if this is still the same at level 85.

Something is eating my butterfly bushes this year .
The leaves are chomped on the top as well as the bottom. Last year nothing ate this plant. It also seems whatever it is perfers the green variety over the silver leaved ones. Anyone have a clue? They most definitely come out at nite because I see nothing in the day . Do earwigs like this plant as well as the many others they are munching on in my garden ? Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
looked at mine and it seems something has eaten a bit of them also. mostly near the top where buds are forming but not enough has been damaged to bother me but.... if I could get rid of the pests munching my grapes |

Hi Guy,
Our team developed an online shopping website for a company.
The website aims to deliver fresh, organic product to customers in Ottawa area.
We would appreciate your opinion of our website.
Would the website be attractive to you?Will you order product in the website?Is it convenient for you to order and checkout?What function do you think we need to add to our website?
Thanks for you help.
hello there,
the website design is Awesome, still just some small issue.. when i surf the pages.. and i click back to How it Works there is a Blank Page with the Form and the Content for a Seconds before they get Wrapped with the illustrations.. screen shot : http://goo.gl/lHQywP
You can add the Payments Method accepted on the Website... because at First View we don't think it's E-commerce website but such a Company business Portfolio or Something...
There is no Meta and SEO on your page.. you have to think about that also ! if you will need some assistance, PM me
Meta Description is missingTrying to place order for Harvest box classic, when I click on confirm order it does no process any further just keeps on refreshing the page. If its because of account then amend it and let the customer create account during checkout as it gives impression of malfunctioning,Do you have any customers reviews? Post them
I really like the design. Nicely done.
It took me a while to get the catch line, as while the image is great, it is distracting me from the fact that "I will save time, and eat well".
This could be further refined, or other benefits added.
For example.What does it mean to eat well? Live longer, avoid diseases / pesticides? I just think it could a little better.
For example, just a random one, and perhaps a little too shell shocked - Save time : Save your life
Your CTA (call to action) is buried under the statement. I would make this a little more prominent on the page. ATM it is a victim to the rest of your design.
Also, I would reduce the transparency of the hero shot, and add a nice texture over it (like diagonal lines, illustrated like the onions), just to give your statement further omph.
You might want to try split test the term "buy now". Is that going to rally your key demographic?
Also, can you offer an incentive to a first time user? Like an overlay or something that offers a small discount if you place your first order? Getting new customers to try online shopping can be a challenge. Your site would benefit from a video, it could show the sign up process.
See ya!
The layout and choice of colours is good, however the text is very small on my tablet.
Other than that good job.
The website look pleasing to the idea; the layout and choice of colours is good and are complimentary to the service, too many sites related to food use green.
I would happily order a product from a website however the page has a lot going on, nothing reall draws the eye and says do this.
Another thing i should mention is the text, it is far too small for mobile devices, especially the CTA 'sign up'
Your website looks awesome. You have chosen a right designer. But you need to optimize your site. Because your site has some problem in meta title, meta descriptions. You need to update those things.<snip>
The overall site design is good and pleasing to the eye... here's a few things I noticed:
~ Best of luck to you!
Hi, The few suggestions I have are as below:1. There is lot of scrolling and navigation required to get all the details.2. Use of too many colors is not appealing to website subject.3. The home page highlighting main points and options to buy featured products will give more a look of shopping/commerce site.4. In FAQ section can we use different colors for questions and answers and can we remove space between questions?

Taiwan's Taoyuan Airport was rated one of the world's top ten most traveler-friendly airports and houses the one-of-a-kind Hello Kitty dreamland.
Hello Kitty, one of the most internationally acclaimed Sanrio characters, has an entire gate dedicated to her. The dreamland is located near Terminal 2 near the C3 boarding gate. Welcoming guests into the exclusive waiting area is a Hello Kitty statue walking a suitcase.
The Hello Kitty dreamland hosts four different unique sections: the Pinky Kitty departure lounge, the Hello Kitty playground for children, the Bay Kitty nursery room and the Sanrio gift shop. Walking into one of these rooms is like looking at a land made out of bubble gum as all the furniture is made in pink. Aside from the gift shop and the playgrounds, a great way to spend your layover is to enjoy a few Sanrio cakes as well.
