Is It OK to Have "Me" Time?
Comments 92
I think it's great to have "me" time, but I just don't get that very often.
lalasmama2007 Mar. 27, 5:24 PM
Yes, definitely!
RobynS Mar. 27, 5:42 PM
I think it's critical! But that doesn't mean it's easy...
copperswifey Mar. 27, 5:46 PM
I think it's important to have "me" time. It's just hard to do. I have started working out with a personal trainer. She does it free in her basement and allows you take your kids. So even though I'm doing something for myself I still have to take my kid/kids. It's nice that I can bring them with me but they are always walking up and need something or asking you questions. The only real me time I get is once a month at the Mops meetings :)
LindaClement Mar. 27, 6:10 PM
That's a great way to distinguish the issue...
... I often think that the moms who feel 'guilty' about 'me-time' are the ones who spend the least time taking care of genuine needs (of their own or their kids') and the most time trying to pander to wants to make up for it.
Quoting abra:
Agreed. Mom's especially need to understand the difference between a child's needs and a child's wants. Needs must be attended too (even if that need is a little more one-on-one time with mom when she is tired), wants should only be indulged responsibly.
Quoting LindaClement:
I agree, that moms need to ensure they nurture their needs, throughout the day, every single day.
That's not the same as walking away from the people they claim to love the most in the whole world, to spend hours (or days) of time and money (and often even more energy) with strangers and acquaintences (hair stylists, waiters, random people on the cruise ship).
Generally, if kids are young enough to need a nap, mom also needs a nap.
I don't understand how 'me time' stopped including 'my basic physical needs.'
Quoting abra:
I do think moms need a break. Especially if mom is an introvert (as I am) and recharge through alone time, it is especially important to maintain sanity. Part of being a good mom, and fully embracing motherhood is recognizing that a run-down, worn out, exhausted mom isn't a good mom. I do make sure its at a good time so nobody is really inconvenienced by my need for mom time (because being self-ish about my time is not healthy for anyone). My kids take a nap or rest time everyday so I can have an hour or two of me time.
That statistic about working moms and SAHM spend the same amount of time with their kids...That's just wrong! SAHM should be spending more time with their kids coupled with reasonable time away from them (not excessive because then what is the point of being home?).

Newspaper sues state agency to get financial records
Published: January 17,2013
Tags: bench, case, court, financial records, judge, judicial, judiciary, justice, law, lawsuit, legal, media, medium, newspaper, public records, state agency, sue, suing
BILOXI — A Gulf Coast newspaper has sued the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources to get access to some financial records.
The Sun Herald reports it filed suit in Harrison County Chancery Court.
The Sun Herald is seeking a judge's order compelling MDMR to produce the records. The newspaper also asked for a hearing on the lawsuit to be held within three days, as the Mississippi Public Records Act calls for expedited relief.
The MDMR has cited a state auditor's investigation to deny the Sun Herald access to the records. MDMR attorney Sandy Chesnut has claimed the financial records fall under the law's criminal investigations exemption.
Sun Herald attorney Henry Laird says the MDMR is unable to claim the exemption because it applies to law enforcement agencies.
The Sun Herald has requested records related to MDMR's disaster relief and artificial reef accounts.
The newspaper has reported that a $115,000 check that was supposed to go to MDMR for maintenance of an artificial reef instead went to a foundation former agency director Bill Walker managed.
The Sun Herald also has reported that more than $1.4 million in public money from the Rigs to Reefs program went to upgrade and maintain two boats the private foundation leased to MDMR.
The Sun Herald requested artificial reef records Dec. 27. Chesnut responded by email Jan. 9, saying, in part: "the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources (MDMR) has received a subpoena from the Mississippi State Auditor's Office for the requested information and therefore, the MDMR is prohibited from releasing this information."

The science
Put simply, our belief is that humans were not meant to sit for prolonged periods. We have stood and walked upright for over 1.5 million years and for the last 10 thousand or so most societies have been centred on farming. It's only over the last 100 years or so that sitting has become common at work and it's only in the last 15 years or so that we've been sitting for increasingly long periods in front of computers. Watch the video to see more on the science behind the FreedMan Chair.
Sitting posture with lumbar support and raised seat.
The technology
The seat pan of the FreedMan Chair articulates on a specially made stainless steel ball, which allows a controlled, rising and lowering of each side of the seat.
This allows the seat to match any pelvic height imbalance that the sitter has when standing and therefore maintains their side-to-side spinal curves.

More chairs are ready for shipping!
February 9, 2015
I got back from a mammoth three-week trip in China last weekend and it's been a busy week getting things at this end sorted out.
Apologies for not updating you sooner, but I've been waiting to hear confirmation from the factory on the production and can now confirm that one container left for the UK last week, another for the UK will be loaded this Wednesday. The two containers for the US shipment have been…

January 11, 2015
I've been busy getting sorted for our trip to China to oversee the final production of your chairs. The first batch of chairs arrive at the UK port on 16th of January (despite the ship crashing-seriously!), will be in customs for 5 days and then will be coming out to the first lucky people 2-4 days after that. So before the end of January.
The next batch should be ready for checking (by myself and Dean, our lead engineer) this Tuesday 13th Jan and hopefully ready for shipping Friday or Monday and will be at their destinations approximately 5 weeks after that.

That's right we have chairs on their way to us in the UK! I know it seems like it's taken an age (I certainly feel about ten years older…) but it's a real landmark to finally have some consumer-ready chairs on their way. This is a small batch of 150 and they were sent to the port a week ago. Since then we've cleared the decks at our production line, had many discussions over improving production and quality-checking processes, updated work instructions, etc, etc. We are now continuing with the follow-on production.

How does sitting for an extended period compare to being an astronaut? Well this is one of the questions answered by this recent article from the UK's National Health Service.
Many adults in the UK spend more than seven hours a day sitting or lying, and this typically increases with age to 10 hours or more.

Many things, say four experts, who detailed a chain of problems from head to toe. An informative infographic from…

A very enjoyable three nights stay at Premier Inn, Bury. Room was clean and spacious. Shower was lovely. Staff were most helpful. Dining area is very pleasant and menu was lovely. Well done, Premier Inn, Bury.
Nothing that I can think of.
The telephone didn't work in the room, there was no room service, the cot I requested was very used and didnt appear clean! Refused to put my daughter in it!! Had to have breakfast in the bar, which wasn't clean either, all appears clean on the surface, but when you closely not so much!

The bad experience was with the room booking going wrong between booking.com and premier inn but the staff at the inn sorted this out quickly and we had an excellent comfortable room and stay.
Good service and good problem solving when room was too noisy. Nice restaurant.
I think it is misleading to suggest this hotel is near Manchester - it is 9 miles away and it the morning took a good hour to drive. Also arrival and parking are less than clear.
Staff were excellent. Very helpful, friendly and pleasant. Very good big breakfast. Buffet style during the week and cooked to to order on the weekend. Great sleep on the comfortable bed.
Beer range at the bar could be a bit better. Strange Guinness cans. Would be better with the ordinary 'draft' cans.
The staff
Not enough T-bags ,Sugar, milk. No dressing Gowns
this hotel is very good but I had a problem finding it. it needs better signs to show you where it is
Drains smell when we ran the bath .which lingered for a long time.
Very quiet, nice restaurant for evening meal and excellent breakfast.
Hotel bright, modern and comfortable. Breakfast good. Really friendly, helpful staff working under difficulties.
Access difficult once you found the hotel. No parking facilities outside the front of the hotel except to drop off people and move away. No parking facilities for the disabled and then costly charges in Q-Park next door.
The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. Food was superb as was the general atmosphere in the bar/restaurant area.
Trams were very noisy! Bed not as comfy as expected and didnt appreciate having to pay for parking for the weekend.
new hotel, good sized rooms.
wifi is free in all hotels these days why charge for it. Metrolink runs past the outside of the hotel. Parking is charged

The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer from the People Who've Lived the LongestA long healthy life is no accident. It begins with good genes, but it also depends on good habits. If you adopt the right lifestyle, experts say, chances are you may live up to a decade longer. So what's the formula for success? National Geographic Explorer Dan Buettner has lead teams of researchers across the globe to uncover the secrets of Blue Zones--geographic regions where high percentages of centenarians are enjoying remarkably long, full lives. Region by region, Buettner reveals the "secrets" of the Blue Zones through stories of his travels and interviews with some of the most remarkable and happily long-lived people on the planet. Meet a 94-year-old farmer and self-confessed "ladies man" in Costa Rica, an 88-year old yoga devotee and decathalete in Okinawa, and a 107 year-old Sardinian who still climbs trees to harvest nuts for her family's Sunday meal, to name a few. By observing daily life in these communities, and conducting in-depth lifestyle research, Buettner's teams have identified the everyday behaviors and choices that correspond with the cutting edge of longevity research. In Sardinia for example, family comes first, a fact of life celebrated with big dinners that include red wine and simple, home-cooked foods. In Okinawa Japan, gardening and yoga are two popular activities, and life is governed by the principle of ikigai, which means having a purpose. In Loma Linda, California, Seventh Day Adventists attribute longevity to strong faith, family, and dietary restrictions that limit food consumption and promote a healthy, low-fat diet. By distilling the key longevity behaviors from these wildly diverse populations, Buettner has derived recommendations for healthy lifestyle choices that anyone can make to create their own "Blue Zone" and promote long life. Buettner's inspiring examples of well-lived lives and easy to apply "best practices" from his studies empower readers to live longer, healthier, more fulfilling lives. This massive research effort, funded in part by the National Institute on Aging, has taken Buettner from Costa Rica to Sardinia, Italy, to Okinawa Japan and beyond. Encoded in the world's longevity cultures are millennia of observed human experience. It's not coincidence that the way these people eat, interact with each other, shed stress, heal themselves, avoid disease, and view their world yields them more good years of life. To learn from them, we need only to be open and ready to listen. |

User Review - Susan - GoodreadsI didn't really like it and confess I skipped around a lot. Mostly the advice for living longer is much like everything else I've read so I found much of it boring. Notably though I think most of us lack the tight culture and extended families of the places where people live longest. Read full review

, updated and then reinserted at it's new position dictated by the updated information.Upon delete, the object is
'd from theDelayQueue
The problem I'm facing is that the remove()
method becomes a prohibitively long operation once the queue passes around 450k objects.
The program is multithreaded, one thread handles updates and another the house keeping. Due to the remove()
delay, we get nasty locking performance issues, and eventually the update thread buffer's consumes all of the heap space.
I've managed to work around this by creating a DelayedWeakReference (extends WeakReference implements Delayed)
, which allows me to leave "shadow" objects in the queue until they would expire normally.
This takes the performance issue away, but causes an significant increase in memory requirements. Doing this results in around 5 DelayedWeakReference
's for every object that actually needs to be in the queue.
Is anyone aware of a DelayQueue
with additional tracking that permits fast remove()
operations? Or has any suggestions of better ways to handle this without consuming significantly more memory?

Marigold myth: is this plant actually attracting bugs to garden?
I planted marigolds throughout my tomato garden to act as a deterrent for the bad tomato pests. Now, however the marigold flowers are absolutely covered in bugs, lots of small ones with wings and some larger beetle types have some lady-bug like coloring. I am a beginner gardener and am not familiar with all of the garden pests. From what I can tell neither of these are japanese beetles and I can't find info on what they might be or whether these bugs will go on to decimate my other plants. I am very close to just chunking all of my marigolds but I don't want to on the off chance that the bugs the marigolds are attracting would actually help the garden-albeit very unlikely that this would be the case. help!
In my experience, like so many other of the companion planting claims that don't hold up to actual practice, yes, they do attract problem insects. Some beneficials too but I can get them to the garden without issuing the invite to the bad guys.
In some cases the companion plant acts as bait to keep the pests away from your tomatoes or what have you. Now you need a companion plant for your companion plant. :)
Marigolds planted in full sun attract spider mites. You may be seeing the benificials eating the mites. Here is one of several links showing how Marigold's attract spider mites. I also have first hand experience! It's not pretty...
That's a good question! I have always heard to plant marigolds around garden, and figured there had to be some benefit to it. For the past two years I have planted them, and not sure, but I think they do help, even if they are just bait plants. They do have a strong odor, which would confuse the pests that seek out plants by smell, right?
In 2008, I had tomato hornworms. I sprayed and then had to constantly remind my kids not to eat the fruit until I could wash it. My kids don't listen...
In 2009, in an attempt at organic pest control, I planted all kinds of flowers and basil in the tomatoes. I didn't have ANY pests, including hornworms. My tomato plants grew SO big, there wasn't much sun for the poor flowers, and the basil sulked, but I believe they did their expected jobs.
I tried Marigolds last year. They were covered in spider mites, which had never been a problem before that. Once they were done with the Marigolds, they moved onto the tomatoes, so as a trap crop, they did a terrible job.
The only thing I could do to combat them was to hose them down with high pressure water at least every third day. I had to do the same with the tomatoes. This did a pretty good job of knocking them off the plants, making the mites start back over. When I did this, they worked as a trap crop because the marigolds stayed alive. I had 50 tomato plants last year with Marigolds dispersed among them. Needless to say, my water bill sucked!
I'm not growing Marigolds in my back yard this year (where to tomatoes are). I did plant them in my front yard, however. The hope is that they will attract beneficial to the front yard that might make their way to the back yard.
Does it matter what kind of marigolds you plant? I'm completely smitten with the lemon (and tangerine) signet marigolds. Not so much for their flowers (pretty but tiny), but the scent of their foliage. Supposedly, the scent deters mosquitoes. Can't say for sure if it works, but it really is a pleasure to walk by and "fluff" them with my fingers to get a scent of the foliage. IÂve never noticed any insect activity around them. Maybe I wasn't paying attention? Long story short, I started a complete flat to interplant in my beds.
Something else to consider is that your mileage may vary based on location. I've noticed that the people here that have had good luck with marigolds tend to live in cooler climates. Colorado and Massachusetts have a much different climate than Texas and Arizona.
My only problem with marigolds was the spider mites and they didn't really become a problem until things really heated up. We had nearly 100 days of 100 degree temps last year. Since mites love heat, that probably has a lot to do with it.
Meb504 is listed as Central Texas, as am I, so I would recommend against planting them around tomatoes, but they do well elsewhere as long as you hose them off from time to time.
susan2010 hit nail the the head the type marigold does matter. the only marigold that are useful in this matter are french and Mexican marigolds. any other type marigold does not work for more info on the pests that these two types marigold get copy Of" Carrots love tomatoes".
archerb, same here. I never had spider mites infest my tomatoes until I planted those %@!# marigolds! And I'm talking infestation of biblical proportions! I did some research and sure enough there is a lot of evidence they actually attract spider mites in full sun and it doesn't matter what type of mariglods either. French, Japanese, Lower Slobovian...the mites aren't prejudiced. At least the mites were easy to get rid of in future years...just deep six the marigolds!
bigdaddyj there 6 basic types marigolds the common type Tagetes do not have any pest deterring properties as stated before.
Also the marigolds that do deter pest only deter certain
pests; not all pests. So before planting a plant for pest deterring properties you know what pest it deters and any it might attract.
Doing at bit research before going on rant will save time and you might actually learn something. And not look like you are clueless on an interesting subject.
Please! There is so much evidence that marigolds attract spidermites that by not accepting this as fact is like denying the world is round. A simple google will show you all you need to learn this. Start with the link I provided above and then read the next 500 or so. I never mentioned anything about detering any pest! I only mentioned they ATTRACT spider mites.
So sorry but I have to strongly AGREE with bigdaddy on this particular "companion planting" ploy. Marigolds attract spidermites (aphids too) regardless of the type of marigold and neither pest is beneficial to the garden. "Doing a bit of research..." in something other than the various companion planting bibles quickly proves that point.
Please understand that companion planting as it is preached and practiced by some is considered by many experienced gardeners to be nothing more than a gardening fad. Its advocate's books are filled with logical fallacies and invalid assumptions, claims that cannot be proven or replicated, and regional old wives tales.
Yet every few years it seems a few new gardeners suddenly discover one of the books and buy into its message whole hog. Despite little practical experience, they too begin to preach its benefits and we have a cycle of "just plant _______ with it to solve that problem" companion planting posts throughout the forums. It's the reason why Spike created their own forum for them years back.
They never seem to realize that most of its claims have been around for eons and that while some may work, many are just coincidence and happenstance. Many have been tried and tested by experienced gardeners, horticulturists, and the scientific community, and for the most part once the variable of coincidence is controlled for, they never stand up to actual testing.
So if you like the color and smell of marigolds then by all means plant them. But don't grant them mystical powers of pest control - please.
Happy Gardening All!!
Sharing info is wonderful.
I, (an analytical chemist before kids) for one, will plant flowers near my tomatoes until I find another hornworm or other destructive pest that the flowers actually attracted.
I didn't see a single destructive pest last year, so here's to hoping coincidence repeats in 2010 my garden.
Since I have kids that enjoy eating the tomatoes in the garden, I refuse to spray. This mom is clinging to the fad.

Once, twice, maybe even three times in a console generation a game comes along that is a true a leap forward in how we view our games. This generation saw Call of Duty 4 define what the first person shooter would be for years to come. The Mass Effect series brought a gamer's choices into the spotlight. Then there is The Last of Us, a game that blurred the line between the real world and the virtual one. Naughty Dog didn't accomplish this through game mechanics or graphical fidelity though. They did it by crafting the most naturalistic character driven story we've seen to date.
If you listen to the Pixel Apocalypse Podcast, you already know that I have issues with the way The Last of Us handles combat. I found it rather lacking, and a bit unresponsive. Similarly the AI was not quite up to snuff. I found more often than not that Ellie's constant running out in front of an enemy AI, without being spotted, broke the immersion of the game a bit. I do not want to focus on that in this review though. It's suffice to say that The Last of Us is not a perfect interactive experience by any stretch.
The story itself is pretty much every worn out and overdone zombie apocalypse story you have ever read or watched on television. People are thrown together on a cross country quest to save the world from the scourge of the zombie apocalypse. Along the way they encounter cannibals, sexual predators, bandits, etc. Once again the audience is hit over the head with the 'zombies are not the most dangerous thing you need to worry about in a zombie apocalypse' hammer. Allies are in short supply, and resources that we take for granted in our every day lives are scarce. We've all been there, and done that.
Yes, I know the monsters in The Last of Us are not technically zombies, but switching the risen dead into fungi infected zombie-esque creatures does not mean you have created something wholly original. That being said, please forgive me if I continue to refer to the setting in The Last of Us as a zombie apocalypse.
The what, why, and how are not what makes The Last of Us special though, it's certainly not why every gamer (of an appropriate age of course) should experience it.
Where The Last of Us truly shines, and subsequently allows players to look past the games other flaws, is in the character development and relationship between Joel and Ellie. I can't think of a single game with the veracity of Joel and Ellie's relationship. Nothing about how these two characters act towards each other, or the world for that matter, feels contrived or fallacious in any way. All credit goes to Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson for bringing life to Joel and Ellie in a way which makes the player form an almost instantaneous connection with the duo. Ellie's innocence, charm, and foul mouthed charisma are a perfect match for Joel's brooding all business surliness.
Of course these two amazing performances would not have been complete without the breathtaking motion capture work Naughty Dog did on this title. Subtle emotions and nuances are all able to be picked out and understood in a way that surpasses every other developers attempts to display true human emotion in a virtual environment.
Naughty Dog is the master, and everyone else is the knock kneed apprentice learning at their feet.
Remember a few paragraphs ago when I was talking about the story of The Last of Us, and how it doesn't deviate to far from your standard zombie apocalypse story. Well that only holds true until the end. In a master stroke of storytelling, Naughty Dog does not end the game with "You beat the final boss, here's your achievement and thanks for playing!" The game ends in such a way that the player may walk away wondering if they are 'ok' with how it ended. Not with victory over the bad guys, but with betrayal of the most personal kind. It sticks with the player long after the credits have played, and the title screen has returned.
Hell, I've had a few weeks to distance myself from the game and that ending still pops into my head from time to time. It's truly one hell of a ride…
This is the true greatness behind The Last of Us, and what makes it not only one of the best games of this generation, but of all time as well.
Hell, I've had a few weeks to distance myself from the game and that ending still pops into my head from time to time. It's truly one hell of a ride... This is the true greatness behind The Last of Us, and what makes it not only one of the best games of this generation, but of all time as well.

this show is really good, & she does a webcast after the show. it's really awesome. http://www.oprah.com/own_tv/lc_webcast.html
Goodie goodie goodie, is Eckhart Tolle going to be teaching about how to think happy thoughts? On second thought, there are a few people here who could use that.
Oh, dear... I'm afraid that your man card is in serious jeopardy, ol' buddy... to save it, you'll have to immediately drink a 12 pack of beer, then cut a sloppy beer fart, hopefully in the presence of 10 or more people... for safety's sake, you might want to think about launching at least a half dozen manly belches... you know, Booger Dawson belches... There used to be other ways of redeeming yourself, but nowadays they call them sexual harassment... life used to be so much easier...
I totally respect the plight of Oprah, but she has to be the MOST ANNOYING person on this EARTH. Also, my GF couldn't get a Fletcher's corndog at the fair last year because Oprah was getting one, which caused a massive crowd. Stupid Oprah!
I think I've seen three Oprah shows ever. However, one of them was the show where she hosted a bunch of top white supremecists and American nazis. She handled herself very well, was really impressive in keeping her cool with a group of people who, in reality, would as happily shoot her as look at her. Much respect. Not as enthused with her book club stuff, as she doesn't seem to have a handle on the 'good writing' vs 'interesting to me' thing. Loads of ephemeral fluff get huge sales through being mentioned on her show.
:laugh1: Hey, I guess I mean her shows are sometimes mildly entertaining. You have to respect some things about her even if you don't like her. So I guess I'm saying I don't love her, but I do like her. Just curious, have you ever watched an Opera show?
Have you ever read A Million Little Pieces? Even if it was fiction, it was fabulously written from a stylistic standpoint. Even she condemned that book and the author who claimed it was real when it wasn't. But from a fiction standpoint, it's still a good book. And it has an interesting dynamic because the author did try to pass it off as a biography when it's not. Just wanted to say, that is a good book. Other than that, I've never read an Opera Book Club book.

deaconford Show all reviews | Coriolan by GuerlainThis is kind of bitter and for all of ingredients listed, there's just one prominent note that sticks out and messes this one up. 01st December, 2005 |
deaconford Show all reviews | Habit Rouge by GuerlainThis is a very sophisticated an elegant piece of work. I can't believe it was created that long ago, and still have so much depth to it. Two thumbs up!!! 01st December, 2005 |
foetidus United States Show all reviews | English Leather by Dana
01st December, 2005 (Last Edited: 24th July, 2009) |
foetidus United States Show all reviews | Hai Karate by LeemingThis was some vile stuff. Even forty years ago, when I had little discernment and even less taste and almost no money, I used it two or three times and then tossed the bottleit was rrreeeaaallllllllyyyyy bad. 01st December, 2005 |
lefay Show all reviews | Bal à Versailles by Jean DesprezI first sampled this in the mid-'80s (found a small bottle on someone else's bathroom vanity and took a sniff and a dab; I'm shameless that way), and immediately fell in love. "The perfect fragrance," I thought. Since then I've delved into newer, stranger, and more intriguing scents, but this still holds up as an all-time truly glorious oriental. 01st December, 2005 |
LookinForHappy Show all reviews | Chloé (original) by ChloéMy boyfriend bought this for me and I had never tried it before, and though I like some of the notes in this fragrance, the florals are a bit overpowering...either that, or my chemistry just cannot tolerate them all at once. 01st December, 2005 |
NDinDC Show all reviews | Mémoire d'Homme by Nina RicciMdH is an interesting scent that many readers will not like. The top notes of grapefruit and licorice could push against each other, but instead pair up for a slightly smoky, bitter edge. Some folks will react against that edge, but those who like it will adore it. From there, the scent mellows softly in its dry down. The final notes are light and powdery while hinting of cedar. Overall, a pleasant experience for someone who enjoys scents that don't smell just like everyone else in the room. It is worth taking the risk. 01st December, 2005 |
Tropical_Storm Show all reviews | Le Feu D'Issey Light by Issey MiyakeA very light, pleasant fragrance. My favourite Issey Miyake fragrance by far. On my skin it settles to a nice soapy scent, sweetly floral with a touch of musk. It would make a good summer fragrance, or a discreet scent to wear to work. Subtle, without the aggressive greens of L'eud D'Issey. Eminently wearable. 01st December, 2005 |
Tropical_Storm Show all reviews | Alien by Thierry MuglerThis has got to be one of the most unfortunate fragrances I have ever tried. Too much, too strong, too intrusive, too loud, too overwhelming. The initial blast of flowers is enough to blast you out of your shoes, there are no detectable woods on my skin, and the dry down is an extremely strong smelling (and to my nose revolting) artificial jasmine that bombards me like repeated blows to the face. 01st December, 2005 |
20scents Show all reviews | 360 Degrees for Men by Perry EllisWatery, lovely scent from Perry Ellis. Envelopes you with energy and delight. 02nd December, 2005 |
20scents Show all reviews | 4711 Echt Kölnisch Wasser by 4711A classic scent for all times! So many men's fragrances throughout the years have taken this basic, simple scent and spun it their way. Tangy, green, refreshing scent, esp. for warmer weather. A must to check out for the serious collector of classic scents. 02nd December, 2005 |
20scents Show all reviews | Aramis by AramisOne of the first scents that really caught my attention! Its aerosol like delivery is unusual nowadays, and the scent itself is sophisticated, masculine, and fresh. Wish it could last longer, but otherwise I recommend trying this one out! 02nd December, 2005 |
20scents Show all reviews | On El by J del PozoI am still trying to grasp this scent. It resembles Rocabar by Hermes to an extent, but wow it has so many notes that take it in uncharted directions! Maybe this one will grow on me, I'll have to see. :-o 02nd December, 2005 |
20scents Show all reviews | 273 Indigo for Men by Fred HaymanWhat a wonderfully smooth scent! It is unlike the original 273, with a subtle, lavender powdery quality that points to the sensitive side of a man. And it's easy to get gift sets of this one for dirt cheap (e.g. Perfumania). 02nd December, 2005 |
20scents Show all reviews | 360 Degrees Red for Men by Perry EllisStartling, fresh scent. Reminiscent of Drakkar, as others have pointed out. Still, has a unique quality to it that makes it stand out. 02nd December, 2005 |
20scents Show all reviews | Dunhill Fresh by DunhillNice, fresh, crisp new offering from Alfred Dunhill. The liquid looks snappy, and I love the bottle! :) 02nd December, 2005 |
20scents Show all reviews | Hummer by HummerNot bad, but I find it to be too simple and basic. I do not mind wearing it, it's just not as deep as I would like it. A very crisp, outdoorsy scent to be sure, Hummer was not a complete failure, IMO. I think the Hummer H2 scent that came next was much better. 02nd December, 2005 |
deaconford Show all reviews | Elements by Hugo BossI didn't think too much of it, but I recieved alot of compliments on this at work. therefore I will give a thumbs up based upon fan review. 02nd December, 2005 |
deaconford Show all reviews | Elements Aqua by Hugo BossMan this is really a nice aquatic watery type fragrance. Underestimated, and smooth at the same time.So much fresher than alot of stuff on the market that is supposed to be fresh. 02nd December, 2005 |
deaconford Show all reviews | Fath Pour l'Homme by Jacques FathMan this stuff is so sweet you could almost drink it out of the bottle, but in a good way. Lasts all day. 02nd December, 2005 |
deaconford Show all reviews | Green Water by Jacques FathGreen garbge. How can anything this old not have any staying power. Then again why would anyone want to smell like a cheap tonic prepared for sore throats? 02nd December, 2005 |
deaconford Show all reviews | Yang by Jacques FathThis is very well put together fragrance. Deep, dark ,and mysterious, and declaration copied this, or was declaration first? 02nd December, 2005 |
deaconford Show all reviews | Baldessarini by BaldessariniThis is elegance in a bottle indeed. A nice fougre, chyrpe type fragrance with the masculinity still present. 02nd December, 2005 |
deaconford Show all reviews | Baldessarini Del Mar by BaldessariniAnother sleeper, this smells like they revamped their aqua cologne and mixed in a little Vera Wang to create an awesome fragrance 02nd December, 2005 |
KimChi Show all reviews | In Love Again by Yves Saint LaurentI just adore this fragrance. It is very light, happy and fresh with nice grapefruit notes. I understand that it will only be available every four years, and although the bottle is 100ml, I honestly think I will buy a second bottle in case I run out. 02nd December, 2005 |
LookinForHappy Show all reviews | Innocent by Thierry MuglerIn trying this one on for the first time today, all I can say is that I am disappointed. As someone who actually can wear very "manly" fragrances and very spicy ones as well, Angel Innocent has literally evaporated from my skin within an 1.5 hours. All that is left is a cornstarch type powder smell. 02nd December, 2005 |
Lyman Show all reviews | Vetiver by Guerlain[insert moan of delight] What a soft, foggy, sweet, tasteful, comforting scent. There's something satisfying about a scent that's so complete, like a correct mathematical formula, with a self-evident, satisfying integrity. (And the color is beautiful, and so is the bottle!) 02nd December, 2005 |
moondeva United Kingdom Show all reviews | Rochas Femme (new) by Rochas[size=12][b][color=#ffcc99]Femme[/color][/b] by Rochas 02nd December, 2005 |
mrliberfarb United States Show all reviews | Jessica McClintock by Jessica McClintockI guess you would consider this a flowery perfume, but it too powdery, and overwelming to be around. Please stay away from this one. 02nd December, 2005 |
mrliberfarb United States Show all reviews | Green Irish Tweed by CreedI'm not gonna make any friends by saying this... but I favor cool water over green irish tweed. I'm not sure which note it is, but green irish tweed simply has too much "green" for me, cool water is fresher. Save you're money, by cool water. 02nd December, 2005 |

("Provider"), with its principal place of business located at 4425 230th Way SE, Sammamish, Washington, 98075 and Widgets, Inc. ("Client"), with its principal place of business located at 123 Anywhere St., Kalamazoo, MI, 12345, and shall be effective as of September 1st, 2007 (the "Effective Date"). RECITALS WHEREAS, Provider is engaged in the business of providing services involving the design, installation and maintenance of computer networks ("Services"); WHEREAS, Client desires to retain Provider to perform the Services set forth in this Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, Provider and Client agree as follows: 1. Scope of Services Provider will perform such infrastructure development, network maintenance and support services as are set forth in Exhibit A (Statement of Work). 2. Price and Payment Client will pay Provider for the Services at the price and on the terms set forth in Exhibit A. The price set forth in this Agreement does not include any sales, use, service, or similar taxes that may be payable by reason of the provision of the Services, and Client will pay all such taxes which may become due in connection with the Services. 3. Term and Termination This Agreement has an initial term of one (1) year. Unless terminated as provided herein, this Agreement will extend for a period of 1 year and will automatically renew upon its anniversary date for successive one (1) year terms. Provider may terminate this Agreement without cause upon sixty (60) days written notice, and Client may terminate this Agreement without cause upon thirty (30) days written notice. In the event of termination by either party without cause, Client will pay Provider for all of the Services performed up to the date of termination. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time for material breach, provided, however, that the terminating party has given the other party at least fourteen (14) business days prior written notice, at the other party's principal place of business, of the material breach, sufficiently detailed so that the nature of the alleged material breach is clear, and a reasonable opportunity to cure the breach. Termination for material breach will not alter or affect the terminating party's right to exercise any other remedies for breach. 4. Obligations of Client A. Client will immediately notify Provider upon learning of any significant problem with the performance of the network. B. Client will cooperate with Provider in connection with its performance of the Services by providing access to Client's physical premises as reasonably necessary from time to time. C. Client will, from time to time, purchase such software and hardware as may be reasonably necessary for the effective operation of its network. Provider may make suggestions as to the software and/or hardware it believes may be reasonably necessary to the effective operation of Client's network. Client is under no obligation, however, to purchase such software and/or hardware, nor to purchase such software and/or hardware from Provider. D. Client will be ultimately responsible for performing the day-to-day tasks associated with creating archival or backup copies of data stored on the network servers and/or on the hard drives of individual workstations. E. Client will notify Provider within a commercially reasonable time regarding any change in the identity of Client's Network Administrator or point of contact. 5. Confidential Information A. All information relating to Client that is known to be confidential or proprietary, or which is clearly marked as such, will be held in confidence by Provider and will not be disclosed or used by Provider except to the extent that such disclosure or use is reasonably necessary to the performance of Provider's Work. B. All information relating to Provider that is known to be confidential or proprietary, or which is clearly marked as such, will be held in confidence by Client and will not be disclosed or used by Client except to the extent that such disclosure or use is reasonably necessary to the performance of Client's duties and obligations under this Agreement. C. These obligations of confidentiality will extend for a period of 1 after the termination of this Agreement, but will not apply with respect to information that is independently developed by the parties, lawfully becomes a part of the public domain, or of which the parties gained knowledge or possession free of any confidentiality obligation. 6. Warranty and Disclaimer Client acknowledges that no computer system or software can be made completely stable or secure, and that Provider cannot guarantee the stability, safety or security of Client's network or data. Provider warrants that the Services will be provided in a workmanlike manner, and in conformity with generally prevailing industry standards. Client is solely responsible for implementing and monitoring appropriate operational and security procedures, and for making appropriate backup copies of all data. THIS WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND ANY ORAL OR WRITTEN REPRESENTATIONS, PROPOSALS OR STATEMENTS MADE ON OR PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT. 7. Limitation of Liability In no event will Provider be liable for any loss of profit or revenue by Client, or for any other consequential, incidental, indirect or economic damages incurred or suffered by Client arising as a result of or related to the Services, whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, even if Client has advised of the possibility of such loss or damages. In no event will Provider be liable for any loss of data that may occur, unless the cause of such loss of data is Provider's negligent or willful, wanton, malicious and/or intentional misconduct. The total liability of Provider for all claims of any kind arising as a result of or related to Provider's non-negligent performance under this Agreement, or to any act or omission of Provider, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, will not exceed an amount equal to the amount actually paid by Client to Provider for the Services during the twelve (12) month period preceding the date the claim arises. For purposes of this provision, "negligent" misconduct shall mean any performance of Services that does not meet the minimum standard of care and/or professionalism in the computer networking installation and maintenance industry. 8. Indemnification Client will indemnify and hold Provider harmless against any claims by third parties, including all costs, expenses and attorneys' fees incurred by Provider therein, arising out of or in conjunction with Client's performance under or breach of this Agreement, including without limitation, any claims of infringement of intellectual property rights. 9. Relation of Parties The performance by Provider of its duties and obligations under this Agreement will be that of an independent contractor, and nothing herein will create or imply an agency relationship between Provider and Client, nor will this Agreement be deemed to constitute a joint venture or partnership between the parties. 10.

The terms "former employee" and "former subcontractor" will include only those employees or subcontractors of either party who were employed or utilized by that party on the Effective Date of this Agreement. 11. Non-assignment Neither party will assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of the other party. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon the parties hereto, together with their respective legal representatives, successors, and assigns, as permitted herein. 12.

Glowing tributes were paid to noted social reformer Savitribai Jyotirao Phule on the occasion of her 115th death anniversary here on Sunday.
Dalit Hakula Parirakshana Samiti Prakasam district president Neelam Nagendara Rao recalled that she along with her husband Mahatma Jyotirao Phule strove for emancipation of women.
First female teacher
Savitribai was the first female teacher of the first women's school in the country, pointed out Darla Koteswara Rao, secretary of the Dalit Bahujana Front district unit, which organised the meet at the Ambedkar Bhavan to draw inspiration from her to improve the lot of downtrodden people.
Modern Marathi poetry
A pioneer of modern Marathi poetry, she had opened a school for untouchable girls in 1852.
She is a role model for all progressive thinkers, added P.V.Rao Mala Mahanadu district president Dara Anjaiah.
