Still on holiday; aaah! Also in the good news department, we have accepted an offer on our flat and could be moving within the month if everything goes well (though the thought of moving house fills me with dread as well... ).
I've had two days of fancying practically every perfume I own - bit unusual because I'm mostly drawn very specifically to scents and put off by others - so feeling spoilt for choice and finding it hard to decide! In the end I went for MH Citron Citron yesterday, but today I'm going for the gorgeous Neil Morris parfum d'Odette. I feel like I've broken out the good china.
Smelling good, Roberto! Does it count if you're scent twins on consecutive days?
Today's is Spezie di Medici - the lovely golden glow of orange pomanders to go with the fiery leaves outside.
Good luck on moving, Nuka!
It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely products of a deranged imagination.

Good morning all and congratulations Nukapai on the new house! Today we woke up and it was white outside....There's still some patches of snow left on the ground now,but most of it seems to have melted again.This mean's it's winther soon ,I guess Sotd is Fracas.

First snow has landed in Reykjavik yesterday
But once you get locked into a serious perfume collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.
SNOW? ACK! Completely NOT READY to start the winter groove...
At any rate, I'm thrilled to bits about Brielle's new digs - congrats! AND to hear of Nuk's realestate deal - best to you and DH on the transacting!
Yesterdays' wearing of Josef Statkus yielded 2 (yes, TWO!) compliments...both from women (which always feels more 'sincere' somehow)...maybe a decant isn't enough, hmmmm, I may have to reconsider emptying my wallet for that treasure.
Today it's new brakes for my vehicle. I'll be bringing a good book and a cloud of Coco, Chanel into the waiting room!

Sunnyfunny thank you for the concern but while it was a bad week it wasn't anything really serious in the scheme of things. Everything important to me is doing fine. It's just when a lot of little, and medium-sized, annoyances all decide to pile up in one five-day period it makes you want to have a lost weekend, and I did.
Monday was defiitely an improvement from a week ago lets see if Tuesday can keep the trend going.
Today I broke out my tiny vial of something special.
Kenzo Unidendified Fragrance Object (UFO)
I am a fan of Kenzo as a House, overall. I am especially a fan when they give perfumers some leeway to be creative as they did Dominique Ropion in Jungle L'Elephant. I was very excited to hear that they had asked Aurelien Guichard to create a 2009 limited edition Unidentified Fragrance Object ( Parfum Objet Non Identifie ). M. Guichard stated he was designing this scent around a heart which contained a "marble accord". Marble as in the material used by sculptors and this had me really looking forward to a mineral-laden scent and M. Guichard does not disappoint. The top of UFO is reminiscent of M. Guichard's Bond No. 9 Andy Warhol Silver Factory as UFO also starts with a metallic note. In this case it feels like the metal of the chisel before it starts to bite into the marble. There is a note of orange blossom to keep the metallic accord from getting too strong. The heart is the promised "marble accord" and it has a cool stone quality to it but it also has a curious kind of wamth as well as it turns deeper and more minerally in character. It is like the sun is warming the stone as it is being worked upon. all throughout the development of this stony aspect a sheer frankincense is in place as it seems this artist works with a cone of incense burning in their studio. UFO really stays in place as a mix of incense and marble for a very long time finally allowing a base of vanilla to join them in the end. UFO has above average longevity and is very close wearing with little sillage. Aurelien Guichard is becoming one of those perfumers who is working in extremely interesting directions, for me, and if he keeps working with the same kind of artistry he shows in UFO he won't be "unidentified" for too much longer.
Have a Terrific Tuesday everyone.

Love is like a flame..it burns you when it's hot
We went to Bern yesterday to get hubby's Dutch passport renewed and find out if Small and I are eligible for dual nationality. The lady in the Consulate was really nice and very helpful. We have to get Small's birth certificates etc certified by something called an Apostille, which I've never heard of before. I expect we'll have a few phonecalls/emails to try to find out what this is and who in Wales or London does it. However, she's eligible for Dual nationality, which is lovely. It's something to share with her Daddy and I don't know, I just think it gives her more flexibility in life. Choice is a wonderful thing to have.
I would have to learn to speak and write Dutch before I would be able to apply, and since I'm currently struggling to learn German, I'm going to leave it a while. It's a project to put on the back burner for a few years. I have no real need for a Dutch passport, apart from rather liking the idea of our family being able to travel together under a single name. (I've kept my British passport in my maiden name, partly from laziness, partly because that's the name I use for work and partly... to keep a little piece of my own identity. Silly, perhaps, but my little bit of independence.)
Today I am wearing a perfume I never thought I would own, let alone in extrait (which this is): Mitsouko. Like Quarry, I have finally 'got it' and today the tiny bottle of extrait I won on ebay for silly money (under 20 quid for 8mls!) arrived. I like it. I even have moments when I think it is very beautiful. And the drydown is getting better and better as it develops. Happy me.
I hope there are plenty of happy yous out there today. Hoorah for the housemovers - I will keep my fingers crossed for you Nukapai. And a scattering of cushions to you Brielle! To you, Roberto, I'll add my hug to the pile of others on this thread.
And for all the other readers of this thread, if you're having a rubbish day: chin up. Wipe your eyes and come round here for a hug and a cuppa.

I got a delightful care package yesterday (why is my mail now being delivered at 6pm? It used to come at about 10am. I'm most disgruntled.)
I'm giving Bandit a whirl today. At first, I was disappointed -- I was told this would be a BAD GIRL LEATHER! All I got was powder and, maybe violets? There was some leather in there, I guess.....
But, then the drydown set in, and the Bandit got progressively naughtier. There is something almost sour in the late middle that I'm not sure I quite "get," but now I smell good and BAD. Excellent.
It occurs to me that Bandit is therefore the perfect perfume for sneaking out for a night of debauchery. "Just going to Bible Study, Mom" says the Toppy powder. "Read these verses!" says the more leathery drydown.......
PS: Wordbird: The extrait of Mitsouko is such a wonderful thing. I think that many people who find the EdT to be "OK, but...welll....I'm not sure" would find a more glorious experience with the full strength parfum. It's so smooth and silky.....

Morning everyone !
Congrats to Nukapai on her house deal - good luck with moving !
Ubuandibeme - you are tempting me with the Joseph Statkus ( apparently Anna Wintour's fave scent )
Lilybelle- more hugs for you and I hope you are alright .SMM - well wishes for you too.
Leesee- I love A L Pearl Musk .
This morning it's Bluebell again !
For sale. Carnal Flower and Vero Profumo Onda.
Cote Bastide Iris on this mild and partly cloudy morning... having coffee on the deck with the kitties, hope you all have a great day!
Don't know where the summer went--it was in the 90's F just last week, and now it won't break 70. I'm in brown on brown on brown--Profumo.it Hindu Kush.
Nice crisp day=Halston.
would love to find a vintage bottle sometime.
Congrats to Nukapai and Brielle on the housing front!!!

After an intense morning workout at the gym, I splashed on the always-classy:
Eau de Hermes by Hermes
But in about 1/2 an hour, due to the incredibly humid weather and sweating, I had burnt off all of the scent on my body, so I grabbed a sample in my bag and reapplied (for the 2nd day in a row):
Sous Le Vent by Guerlain (the last few drops from my sample - thanks Ruggles)
Got a little smile on my face. While doing my morning perusal for perfume-related videos, I happened upon the 10 minutes from Scent of a Woman in which the blind Frank (Pacino) dancess with Donna. Simply a slice of delight. ... And now I have the tango music stuck in my head.
Big, happy news. Congrats, Nukapai! Look forward to reports on every phase -- just as I do Brielle and Lessa's home tales.
You expressed something I go through too often--overthinking SotD choice. Your phrasing is sublime:
Need to get some PMing done, then off to the shower. I know I'm going to be wearing Sabi on one wrist and Rue Royale on the other, cuz I think they could be friends.
Thanks, lilybelle, beachroses, ubu (spirograph!), mysticknot. The avatar artist's name is Lemming. Ironic, no?
Lilybelle, I know just how you feel about everything--the bother of car ownership, the responsibility, the guilt over something really minor, the wondering about what someone else might be thinking/planning/going to say. I scraped someone's car in a parking lot once, more than 30 years ago, but we good girls/gentle women take things to heart, don't we? BTW, I left a note, and they later called to say, No worries.
Can you guys tell I'm finally done with my slide show? Posted a copy on YouTube yesterday. Now I'm checking in at BN all the time, and writing my longest SotD post ever. So happy to have that project "in the can" as they say in Hollywood. Oh, hell, here it is, condensed to run in under 10 minutes--as if you care.
Mo, you make me laugh daily.
Have I missed hugging anyone who needs it? Roberto? SMM? Well, you've got it, sister or brother--but after I shower.
AA Mentafollia -- on me this is more green tea than mint, but pleasant nonetheless.
Antaeus (Chanel)
Congrats to Nukapai on the sale of the flat!
Hope you are feeling more cheerful today, Lilybelle, and that Therese will be feeling over the weather shortly!
I am testing Esteban Sensuelle Russie - a piney, warm, gourmand scent, which is along the lines I had hoped for Fille en Aiguilles, but which turned out too piney in the end.
Also testing Jean Patou 1000 edt - not too dirty this time, which is good news, as I fear there may be something in here on paper which I would not care for...
On top I am wearing DSH Nourouz ("the scent formerly known as Tamarind Paprika"!) Warm, spicy, red, fruity dust.
And Soir, stand firm in Balmain...

Shalimar Eau de Parfum today
I´m wearing Arabie today. Spicy, rich but not cloying if applied sparingly (when it comes to Lutens´ scents I´ve always thought that "less is more", too many sprays can be yucky, since they all are so potent). Seems like Ambre Sultan gets more love here on the board, but I absolutely prefer this one.
Ambre Sultan = plum pudding. Sorry!
Hugs all around!

Quarry! I adore your presentation! It was exciting, and fun to watch...especially cute was the little ground squirrel peeking out...and the drop seed grass & redbud tree! All the sights completely capture the Midwest ~ love you for sharing that!
Mysticknot, thanks for posting the tidbit about JS being an Anna Wintour fave...interesting to know what the Queen Mother of fashion likes! It is a unique and beautiful scent
It was still very warm here, today, so I was wearing
Jasmin et Cigarette from Etat Libre d'Orange. Once you get past the top "ashtray" note, a nice woody jasmine scent.

Started my day in the stunning Nahema parfum. I can still smell the earthy-rosey base. Just love it. Might clear my head later with Vanilla Anise.
Comme l'amour, le parfum doit captiver la femme dès le premier contact---André Fraysse
It was a grubby cleaning day for me, thus requiring a midday shower. For the afternoon I'm doing a little experiment:
ON THE LEFT: We have Mitsouko Eau de Cologne, most likely from the mid-to-late 1960's
ON THE RIGHT: We have Mitsouko Eau de Toilette, from some time between 1982 and 1989.
At first application, both formulations have a sharp feeling, but the EdC reminds me of citrus, the EdT reminds me of aldehydes. Odd.
In the drydown, the smooth, rounded sweetness emerges for both, In the midrange, there is an odd petroleum note in the EdC which is missing from the EdT. Now, two hours in, they are both pretty mellow, but the EdC is showing more of the spice, where the fruit shines a bit brighter in the EdT.
Not currently on: My Parfum version, likely from sometime in the 1990s. I can tell you from memory, though, that that formulation has none of the harsh sharpness in the open. It's not linear, but the progression flows in such a creamy stream that one hardly notices any change from one stage to the next.
As if you needed me to tell you Mitsouko was awesome. >snerk<
Do you think "Old Lady Perfume" is a compliment? Join the Scent of an Old Woman Social Group and chat in-depth about vintage and classic fragrances!
LOL at Quarry....I know, no discussion of the glories of Mitsouko can be a bad discussion!
I'm also quite conscious as I do this comparison that the EdC bottle I have is likely a bit more deteriorated than the EdT. Both are vintage, but the EdC is likely 20 years older. Also, the EdT came as an unused refillable atomiser (in the basketweave style, which partially protects the contents from light) and the EdC came in the big Stopwatch bottle, which is clear and has a lot of exposed surface area. Also, about half of the 3 oz bottle was gone, either through use or evaporation. SO, the rogue citrus note and the odd petroleum note could very well be indicative of the scent going "off" rather than a difference in formulation.
At this point, we are a good 3 hours in. There is a VERY faint spicy scent on my left arm, and a pronounced hit of apricot pit and spice on the right.

Musse, I love these two you have mentioned: Ambre Sultan and Arabie. I wore Arabie last night, actually.
Put on Fragonard Grain de Soleil in the morning before the bath and could not wait to scrub it off: what happened to me? It was smelling fine in warmer weather.
Asha, the transition from the 90s to 70s is not that harsh as the transition from the 70s to 40s as we are having it now -- what happened to autumn? Too early for winter yet, I hope. And then again, I have not had a real winter for the last 11 years. We have not turned on the furnace yet, still getting by on the heat produced by two space heaters.
Will test Ted Lapidus Fou d'Elle this afternoon.
OK, I am craving nice vanilla as of late -- not deep and dark like Le Maison de la Vanille Mexique, but something light and foody along the lines of Laurence Dumont offerings. If somebody has excess of these above or knows something different but similar , please PM me.
Timbuktu. Still on our honeymoon period, Timbuktu and me.

Today's [February 19, 2015] Roundtable on Proxy Voting is certainly timely since over the course of the next several months, thousands of America's public companies will hold annual shareholders meetings to elect directors and to vote on many important corporate governance issues. The start of the annual "proxy season" is an appropriate time to consider the annual process by which companies communicate with their shareholders and get their input on a variety of issues. Whether it's voting on directors, executive compensation matters, or other significant matters, the annual meeting is the principal opportunity for shareholders—the true owners of public companies—to have their voices heard by the corporate managers of their investments. At these annual meetings, shareholders can express their support, or disappointment, with the direction of their companies through the exercise of their right to vote.

Yike, you must be in your high teens. Let this be a lesson to you about putting your money in the stock market....Yikes!!!!!.
another Stock Market display of why everyone should avoid the stock market and put your money into any other place but.
I agree, take the 20 year view. Then you are never wrong, unless the company goes bkrupt during that time of course.
BEAT up !!.
It's a dynamic industry. Materials will be making a comeback. It looks bad now because it's a snapshot of what exists now.
In the near future, all the numbers will change. So don't get stuck on debt like it will never go away. Invest for the future, not just the microscopic present.
Did Buffet also fire that know-it-all young buck who told him to buy IBM(i've been milked) as well?.
LOL???. They are not the ones losing money tomorrow at 9:30am right off the bat......LOL x's2.
So obvious that this laggard was going down. Pie in the sky folks lose again. Will they ever learn?.
Wow...and I was completely wrong all these years. I always thought that 'when I bought my shares someone was selling shares'. Thanks for setting me straight and confirming. What would I do without Mr.Obvious?.
Stop being sexist. It's Ms., not Mrs. Also it's politically incorrect to blame her. She's a woman you know!. It's not her fault.
Give pep talks all the time to each other, give phony team rah rah rah sessions and calling each other IBM'ers, as if it's some kind of badge of honor?........other than that..........who knows??.
Stop picking on Team Leads....they are just training to be like managers over there, right?.
......yes, and only if you have a 500 year old life span. It might be a good stock to hold.
No, not that bad. At least not yet. More like down in the next several months to the $125 range imo.
The CEO can only be so bad, right?. Or can she?.
It's ok to dream. The best part of being in the stock market is at night, when one dreams. That way you are actually happy and making a profit, till the next morning.
Just have someone declare a higher Target price. Voila!!....problem solved.
So IBD is a Leaderboard for LOCK-like stocks. How to make a million, trading opposite to what IBD says. OK, sounds like a sound and solid and profitable strategy. Thx. What would be do without IBD?...and Cramer too!!.
......and rightfully so!!!.
right again!.

The BBC announced today that Zane Lowe, who has worked as an award-winning Radio 1 DJ for nearly twelve years, is stepping down from his position in March and moving to California to take up a role at Apple. Lowe has long been regarded as one of the UK's top sources for music discovery, and his show helped make many artists the stars they are today.
Lowe hasn't publicly stated what role he'll be filling at the Cupertino tech company, but it's not hard to conclude that he'll be lending his curation expertise to the big upcoming relaunch of the Beats Music streaming service. Beats Music, of course, is already staffed by music industry icons Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre.

SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'
So it won't work anyway.
I think that all y'all should read through the actual copyright law, or at least, check out Michael Geist's blog
The max fine is 5000 canukshekels for all infringements prior to the lawsuit, but the minimum fine is $100, and the law contains language advising the courts to consider stuff like the impact of the fine on the defendant, and so on. Mr. Geist suggests that it might not be worthwhile for the MAFIAA and so forth to go to court only to be awarded $100 in damages.
As well, the rulings of that Federal Court in Montreal ordering the ISPs to hand over the names of subscribers (there was another case about 18 months ago in the same court, I believe) have never been appealed; eventually, that will wind up in the Supreme Court.
Real Users find the one combination of bizarre input values that shuts down the system for days.

Two types of percentiles can be calculated. The first type measures what percent of all data in a sample is at or below a chosen point. The second type only measures the percentage of the data that is below a chosen statistic. Both types require that all data in a sample be ordered from lowest to highest. Once this is complete, the first type of percentile can be calculated by counting the number of data points below a chosen point. Then, take half the number of data points that equal the chosen point. and add that to the number below the point. Divide this sum by the total number of points in the entire sample, and then multiply by 100 to convert to a percent. The second type of percentile is easier to calculate. Simply divide the number of points below the chosen point by the total number of points in the sample, and then multiply by 100.
How to Calculate Percentiles
Percentiles give information about how an individual statistic compares to a broader sample of statistics. A common example is college entrance exam scores. An individual score in the 90th percentile means that 90 percent of the participants who took the exam scored at or under that person's score. It is not a measure of the individual score, but of placement of that score in comparison to others. Calculating this number is relatively easy, especially if data can be easily ordered from lowest to highest.
Calculating Percentiles
Weight Example
Consider a classroom of ten students of the following weights, in pounds: 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 95, 100, 100, 105, 105. From this, students can easily discover what percentile a student weighing 100 pounds falls into. For the first type of percentile, which measures the percentage of students at or below 100 pounds, we add 6 -- the number of students under 100 pounds-- to half of 100 -- the number of students at 100 pounds. Since 10 is the total number of students, divide the sum by 10. Multiplied by 100, the 100-pound students fall into the 70th percentile. The second type of percentile, which only measures students who weigh less than 100 pounds, the calculation is just 6 divided by 10 and multiplied by 100: they are at the 60th percentile.

The next and (likely) final installment of the Fast and Furious series emerges next week, and the appearance of the rare Lykan Hypersport will be candy for the masses. The numerics are fun, because just 7 examples of the Lykan exist and it Furious 7. It is the most valuable vehicle used in the extremely popular series–though it will not even come close to snagging the spotlight from Paul Walker, as it is sadly the final film for the beloved … Continue reading
GM Eye Tracking Headlights Could Take Off the Blinders
Automotive technology continues to advance and impress, with the latest being GM eye tracking headlights that do pretty much what the name implies: they track the movements of the driver's eye and provide light in that direction. This wonderful wizardry is being tested to possibly become available in future GM models. Leading automaker GM is working diligently to add further technology to its headlight assisting offerings. Will drivers soon have the added advantage of intelligent headlamps that function by following their eyes? The eye tracking technology is being developed to anticipate the nearly constant eye movement, using algorithms to keep … Continue reading

Porsche Plans to Remain Exclusive Even as Demand Rises
Luxury automaker Porsche plans to remain an exclusive brand, even as demand for its products continues to rise. This is a hot issue in the industry, as those with the funds and desire can be shot down when attempting to purchase because the brand only produces a certain amount annually, sometimes with special restrictions to the purchasers. Ferrari is known for maintaining a similar approach, favoring the exclusive nature of its beast to mass production. After all, if many people were rolling around in an exotic sports car like a Ferrari or a Porsche, the special factor would begin to … Continue reading

The Cristal Edition is also a Grand Sport Vitesse Veryon, and was commissioned by a Chinese collector for his girlfriend, who took delivery of the pristine pink beast back in January. The event remained quite secret until it hit the interwebs recently! Paris Hilton must be seething with envy: The pink accents on the Bugatti Veyron Cristal Edition are enough to win any woman's heart. This is … Continue reading

Action Clip: The Range Rover Evoque Convertible Out to Prove It Has Power
The Range Rover Evoque convertible is out to prove something: that it is much more than just a stylish open SUV–it is power. Check out the footage below of the Evoque convertible performing some testing feats in Europe's largest and most strenuous crossrail tunnel! The Range Rover Evoque hit the scene with special design input from Victoria Beckham (aka Posh Spice).

Unlikely Street Racing Video: Tesla Vs. Lamborghini
Admit it: If you owned a supercar like a Lamborghini Murcielago you would be tempted to street race. Street racing is very dangerous and illegal—but it still happens and we can't help but inhale the footage. That said, check out this duel on the streets between the Lamborghini Murcielago and a Tesla Model S P85D that is circulating on YouTube! The video is not exactly professional quality or choreographed, but it does provide an exciting glimpse of the beasts in their natural element.

Rivalry: BMW Charging Stations With Shocking Twist

The BMW charging stations will provide a charge for all electric vehicles except those made by Tesla and Nissan—now that is a below the belt jolt!

I can only take two of you at a time so you have to wait in line.
Red Hot 2003 Thunderbird — I like that she has 3 personalities: Hard top-for those snuggly days, Soft top-for those days that are a little to hot to go topless, Convertible-for the topless, flirty days. Thunderbird drives great and really has great appeal. Only downfall is you can only take two.

Good looks and performance
Really tight on space inside, steering feels numb
Quality Sports Car — Great retro styling, but not too retro like the PT Cruser. Real metal trim on the interior and comfortable, yet firm seats. Very nimble handling, although response is limited. Great performance and great sound. Overall a great luxury sports car. I'ts a shame they didn't sell well.

When little Nazem feels up to it I'm sure he'll make his reappearance then blame his poor performance on his injury when that inevitably happens. This is the Calder Cup Finals, and he's in too much pain to play. In my mind that makes him a bit of a sissy boy, hence my comment about the band aid on his pinky finger. Blah blah blah I don't know the details, but they are irrelevant. The Leafs would have shut him down for the year if he were injured with a concussion, or something that could jeopardize his future. Kadri is too much of a wuss to tough out a little pain when there's a cup on the line. That's our savior guys.
There are different grades of concussions, he could have a minor one and be day to day.

Debt becomes city's economic developmentAugust 15, 2014
Re: Who is managing liabilities? The Aug. 9 edition of The Press printed a public service ad titled, "There's a lot going on in Sheridan." This ad updates progress on five city construction projects. The minutes of City Council for Aug. 4 show that council passed three resolutions, without discussion, on the consent agenda. Read More
Mead 'dishonored' oath; Haynes a better choice
Re: Aug. 19 primary Gov. Matt Mead took an oath to "support, obey and defend the Constitution of the United States, and the Constitution of the state of Wyoming" when he took office. He broke that oath when he signed SF104 into law. In addition to being unconstitutional, SF104 was legislation that we, the Read More
Coleman helpful with new mayor
Re: Aug. 19 primary As the new mayor of Clearmont, I have been working hard at moving the town of Clearmont forward in a positive manner. I have contacted state Rep. Kathy Coleman on several issues. She has been very helpful with researching state statutes that have given me guidelines on how I should Read More
Tell the flea beetles just to attack leafy spurge
Re: Sheridan Press, Aug. 9 We once again see government interfering with nature. I do not argue that leafy spurge is a noxious weed and must be dealt with in some fashion. My issue comes from introducing an equally noxious pest, such as the flea beetle. The article is correct in how the flea Read More
Coleman is pragmatic voice for resource industries
Re: Aug. 19 primary As we cast our ballots Aug. 19, we owe it to our state's future to support candidates with a demonstrated record of support for the industries that fuel both our economy and our way of life–our natural resource industries including energy, agriculture and tourism. Voters in House District 30 have that Read More

Re: Aug. 19 primary Ryan Mulholland running for the Wyoming Legislature? I will not vote for him. A few years back, he ran for the Sheridan City council and was elected.

Not bad, for a small town Read More
Coleman diligent, articulate, focused
Re: Aug. 19 primary It is often times very difficult for voters to really know whether their representatives are serving them well or not. In the fog of mailers and verbiage surrounding an election, it becomes difficult to tell substance from mirage. Knowing that, I wanted to let you know that Rep. Kathy Coleman Read More

Re: Aug. 19 endorsement Our legislators have recently considered legislation that includes job creation and economic development funding for communities like ours, funding for clean water projects and infrastructure repair, the protection of our 2nd Amendment Rights, local control of education and the protection of our children in school. These are just a few Read More
Coleman is 'go to member;' no 'rubber stamp' official

No respect for voters' wishes

A few years ago we the voters voted down the city manager position. Really, is Sheridan big enough for a chief of Read More
Adriaens appointment a 'put'
Re: new chief of staff The "memo" has created a new job at city hall. City officials have said the city is in a "transition" period. The acting mayor, John Heath, is silent. Perhaps he is lying in a dark room, with a cool cloth on his head. City hall is now run by Read More

I was born in 1964 to Napoleon and Alice Keitt. Shortly after traveling across the USA a few times I settled in California where I meant my better half Dave. Today I write poetry about the things I have seen in my travels or what I have experienced in my life. In 2007 I was nominated by the International Society of Poets as Poet of the year. Although I did not win I got to meet some wonderful ... more »

Angela Yarbrough Poems
A Level of Misconception
Does a man turn away from right and good Brought to the fact of humility not being able to provide Children crying day and night denied everyday necessities A lack of pride in being a man among men
Two Gold Dollars
Pushing a stroller as she walked in a hurry She was dressed in clothes that were dirty With hair matted and a face of lines that deeply ran The stroller looked as if it came from a garbage can
Touching the Divine
On the hard cold floor I lay awake and pray Silently, I cry out loud, 'Where are you Lord? ' If I could only find you deep in my mind I search for that one sign, that you are near me
A Poetic Dream
I want to be a great poet Make you think and ask questions Seek the answer to know it Beautiful poems I want to write
Mad Man
On the corner where he stood Close by to a shopping cart Carrying all that it could Possessions dear to his heart
Love Resued Me
Walking in a minefield of self-destruction Not knowing that I was being watched On a path that was so uncertain As love of self was being botched
I just want to pay my bills
I get so tired of worrying all the time, About where my next meal will come from I feel like packing up, taking off, and just run I wish one time when my phone rings
Song of the Day
In the park on an autumn day The greatest sounds are there Children laughing you know the way Like their joy is true and real
Dinner Time
She feeds those chickens everyday And the rooster struts and crows As the steam rolls from the pot Plucking feathers for dinner she knows
Our Friendship's Love
Never did you tell me I wasn't worth it You believed that I would not fail Made me think I could move mountains Never saw my imperfections
I once met a little girl named Tank. At five years of age, Her old soul wasn't fake. I asked her how are you today ma'am?
In A Golden Desert Field
In a golden desert field sparrows played. The sun beamed down from heaven, there was little shade While the ravens circled over keeping watch The sparrows kept right on playing, they didn't stop
The Sun Smiles
As the sun comes up over the horizon A new beginning is offered to all mankind The same beginning that has been offered for eon's Knowing, that tomorrow is not a promised time piece
I will hold on to my peace When everything is falling apart All my happiness has ceased And I am hurting in my heart

A Level of Misconception
Does a man turn away from right and good
Brought to the fact of humility not being able to provide
Children crying day and night denied everyday necessities
A lack of pride in being a man among men
Perceived lazy by a society that never has been hungry
Does man lack character, ethics, and moral stability
On dark cold chilling nights with no shelter or stillness
Caught up in a fight for mere wake in the morning survival
Things never perceived when childhood dreams were dreamed
When does enough become enough for you and I
How many go postal events or ...

A complex low moving east from TAS is producing strong winds and cool showers over VIC and TAS. A trough in the west is producing storms over WA. The monsoon trough and remnants of TC Nathan producing rain and storms over the Top End and Kimberley. The southern (polar) jet is steering a trough over the Tasman Sea. The northern (tropical) jet remains weak. More Synoptic information
Patchy cloud increasing over parts of the Northern Rivers, and Northern Tablelands with a low pressure trough is causing showers and thunderstorms to develop. Cloud over southern parts of the state associated with a low over Bass Strait is causing cool showers to develop.

Fomalhaut's Exoplanets Have Orbits That Defy Theory 43

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
No, that's a hypothesis.
They're just a little higher on the Kardashev scale [wikipedia.org] than astronomers can imagine.
Meh, I've read about stuff like this since I was a kid.
Since it formed very early on, it's most likely a proto-planet rather than a mature planet. Planetary theory is only designed for mature planets, because statistics doesn't apply to extremely small numbers and extremely small numbers is exactly what you have when dealing with proto-planets. Ergo, the theory cannot be applied sensibly, ergo there is no theory that can be described as being defied.
There's also the possibility of captured planets since there are believed to be a large number that form in the outer fringes of systems and in interstellar space. They are believed to be a large part of the missing matter. It's a tricky balance capturing a planet that far out due to the extremely low gravity. Odds are they'd have a very elliptical orbit much like Pluto.
