Sunglasses FOR THE ROAD!

Sunglasses FOR THE ROAD!I know, I know
Not another Sunglasses thread, but guys there are millions of sunglasses out there. Just too hard to pick one. The budget is the biggest factor, would like to stick to $25.00 if possible. I would either like something photochromatic or atleast interchangeable glasses. Thanks for the recommendations!
Re: Sunglasses FOR THE ROAD!Get something from JetBlack or a safety shop. Your budget doesn't leave much to work with and I wouldn't think your in the right ballpark for photocromatics at $25.00.
Re: Sunglasses FOR THE ROAD!The torpedo7 ones look pretty good and are very cheap when on sale
Re: Sunglasses FOR THE ROAD!+1
If your budget is really that tight, your best bet will be safety glasses or servo specials.. Don't expect anything flash at that price though. If you have a friend in construction or mining industry ask if they can get you a few pairs of safety glasses from work.
Re: Sunglasses FOR THE ROAD!I need some decent glass, as I would like not spoiling my eyes.
If I do up my budget what would I be looking for and in what price range.
Re: Sunglasses FOR THE ROAD!Are you missing a zero slash did you misplace a decimal?
For $25 you can get fake Oakley jawbones or radars. If nothing else it confirms that you like the shape and that there is worth forking out the big bucks. I have a pair of fake jawbones ($60 from monton) and fake radars ($20 from eBay). The jawbones were a poor rip off (!!!!) as I was told they were indistinguishable from the real thing... Turns out they were very distinguishable. It also happened that I hated the frame shape, it created blind spots in my field of vision. The radars were also a poor copy but at $20 I couldn't complain. The frame also doesn't intrude on my FOV. So importantly I now know what works for me, and also see value in spending a bit of $$$ on shades. When I have spare $200 radars will be on the shopping list. Unfortunately I can't elaborate on the difference between $20 and $50 shades, although I suspect it would be like night and day.
Re: Sunglasses FOR THE ROAD!Try Ribble http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/road-track-bike/glasses-glasses-kuota-5-lense-system-glasses/kuotzgla200. They have among others Kuota 5 lens set for $33 (plus postage of course). If you order over $50 they cost $26.
They meet Aust. standards. For the price they are pretty rugged yet cheap enough not to mourn if you lose them. I got 2 sets 2 yrs ago and still using the first pair, some surface scratches etc but still presentable
Re: Sunglasses FOR THE ROAD!I got a set of Jetblack glasses from the LBS for about $40. Can recommend for a cheap set that work well.
2013 Malvern Star Oppy Di2
Re: Sunglasses FOR THE ROAD!Scan all the listings at Ribble
http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/pp/road-t ... asses/zgla BBB's are good enough imho. Friends have the best Rudy's and Oakleys, and they both look weathered and old after a year of riding...and the lenses do scratch. I've lost or broken a few pairs of good glasses, so I reckon it's better to pay <$75, and budget to replace more often.
Re: Sunglasses FOR THE ROAD!
I was looking at the Jetblack, will probably head down to the store to check them out.
Re: Sunglasses FOR THE ROAD!Whatever you get, make sure they are polarised.
Foo I don't suffer fools easily and so long as you have done your best,you should have no regrets.
Goal 6000km
Re: Sunglasses FOR THE ROAD!I picked up a nice pair of polarised sunnies from the sunglasses shop at the Brisbane Airport DFO complex for $25. If you can hit up the DFO/factory outlet centres, then you have a much better chance of getting something half-decent for a handful of bucks...
Cheers, Abby
Re: Sunglasses FOR THE ROAD!Also checking the Shimano S40R, anyone tried these ?
Re: Sunglasses FOR THE ROAD!Just buy a pair of Oakley Jawbones, you can buy photochromic lenses from Walleva in the USA, they work terrific & are a fraction of the price of the Oakley ones.
Yep it's all over your limit of $25 but I reckon my Jawbones have outlasted 10 pairs of cheap glasses.
Re: Sunglasses FOR THE ROAD!
What did they cost you?
Re: Sunglasses FOR THE ROAD!I think about $200 for the Jawbones & around $70 for the photochromic lenses, so all up $270, but I got 3 or 4 sets of lenses with the glasses, so it's not a bad buy when you consider the quality. I don't change out the photochromic lenses when I'm riding road, day, night, wet, it doesn't matter. I fit the amber ones when I'm riding the MTB.
Re: Sunglasses FOR THE ROAD!
There aer way too many fakes out there, makes me very suspicious for purchasing them online, but that's where you get the fine prices
Re: Sunglasses FOR THE ROAD!
Buy from a reputable dealer, if you buy from the US you can pick them up for around $180 these days, I purchased mine from Livestrong (glad to make the donation & still happy to have done it), I've since changed the nose pieces, lower arms (something you can't do on the copies), the earsocks, mine are now pure black with the original yellow Oakley 'O' on one arm (not sure when the other fell off), I was wearing them for work (which was why they needed new nose pieces & earsocks), they are comfy enough to wear all day, every day. Yes I have noticed a few blindspots, but anything that protective you will find that (they are rated to handle a high velocity impact), I get supplied tinted safety glasses at work, while they do the job, you only have one set of eyes & they are very fragile in reality, I'm quite happy to spend a couple of hundred to ensure they are well protected.
Re: Sunglasses FOR THE ROAD!although not famous in the cycling world (moreso the motorcycling world ...) , uglyfish do reasonably priced photochromatics (that you can equip with prescriptions on the interior if need be) ,have foam inserts for an almost goggle like seal, are impact resistant and can be adjusted to either house a strap or standard sunglass arms - I picked mine up for about $112 although they usually are about $20 more than that
Re: Sunglasses FOR THE ROAD!Yeah that's an average price to pay for 2nd hand.
Proudly "a hater of academics with helmet cams"
Re: Sunglasses FOR THE ROAD!
Do polarised v/s non-polarised make much difference, as I'am getting another used pair for double this price but with one polarised lens.
Re: Sunglasses FOR THE ROAD!While polarized lenses are good, I wouldn't necessarily make it the be all and end all.
Proudly "a hater of academics with helmet cams"
Re: Sunglasses FOR THE ROAD!
Thanks Mark, I think having started a thread with recommendations for $25.00, I should stick with something at $100.00 rather then $200.00 If Polarized is not a nessasity.
Re: Sunglasses FOR THE ROAD!I had non polarized jawbones for 2 years and just recently switched to polarized flakjackets. They're probably only marginally better, but I wouldn't go outta my way to buy them purely for the polarized lenses.

Thread: Your favorite lavender? |
One of the truly classic (and somewhat divisive) notes in perfumery, lavender is found in lots of styles, ranging from traditional European fougères over classic "English-style" gentlemen's colognes to contemporary spicy oriental versions and even recent "stylized" minimalist and deconstructed experiments.
In all its many versions and interpretations, lavender remains one of my favorite notes, and I'm very curious which lavender frags you prefer - which one is simply better than the others? My own vote is split between spicy sensual Eau Noire and uncompromising lavender-civet masterpiece Jicky. Which one is your favorite - maybe I didn't even list it?

Caldey Island Lavender
C&S Oxford & Cambridge
Parfums de Nicolai Maharadjah
Lavande by Molinard
Only know (and enjoy) the Caron and Guerlain out of these.
Thought about maybe getting Woods of Windsor Lavender as it's so cheap, then again, it's so cheap....
I voted 'other' as in HdP 1725!!!
I have always liked Royal Scottish Lavender since I blind bought a tester a few years ago. On me it is a good masculine lavender that retains the lavender note from beginning to end.
I don't have a signature fragrance. My signature changes a little bit every day, why shouldn't my fragrance?
Serge Lutens Gris Clair... I love this stuff, but I don't like lavender, so don't listen to me!
Czech and Speake Oxford and Cambridge for me in number 1 position -- dry as a bone, wears very well.
After that, I'd rank as follows: Crabtree & Eveyln, Trumper, LOccitane, ELDO.
"The force that through the green fuse drives the flower // drives my green age..." Dylan Thomas
Others: Azzaro pour Homme & Mouchoir de Monsieur

Hard to pick between Caron Pour un Homme, Jicky (vintage parfum) and Mouchoir de Monsieur - which is why I own all three...and numerous others in the poll also.
I think lavender is my VERY FAVORITE note of all notes...so it's difficult to pick just one, since I own/love so many.
"Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance."

Other. Winner for me is Roger & Gallet Lavande Royale. First runner up is Creed Royal Scottish Lavender.
Should point out that I haven't sniffed all the ones on the OP's list.
And if you haven't tried Lavande Royale, give it a sniff. I am very fond of it.
The Creed is worth having for the snob appeal alone. Good thing the fragrance actually backs that up.
Overall, love lavenders. Thanks for starting this fun thread.
Mine is Gris Clair.
My current top ten:
1. Spice and Wood
2. Tonka Imperiale
3. Dior Homme
4. Pure Malt
5. Oud Wood
6. Ambre Nuit
7. L'air Du Desert Marocain
8. Noir de Noir
9. Apple Brandy
10.Straight to Heaven
I voted for Patou pour Homme Prive.
My favorite is Yohji Homme, which was also made by Patou (Jean Michel Duriez and Jean Kerleo).
Last edited by pluran; 3rd January 2013 at 03:47 AM.
+1 Yohji Homme, which I finally succumbed to over Christmas..
Being a licorice lover, did someone forget to mention Hermes Brin de Reglisse?
On Sillage:
If someone can smell me at more than an arm's length away, I'm probably wearing too much of whatever I applied; if she can distinctly make out the top notes, then perhaps I left the house a bit too soon..
On icebreaker:
I tend to compliment people on their frags to make short talks rather than anything more meaningful.
¿Si o No?
I ADORE Jicky, but I also voted for a second under other, which is Fourreau Noir, another big love.
Caron Pour Un Homme and Mouchoir de Monsieur, although I have yet to try Jicky. I think this note will be the next for me to explore more extensively.
Mouchoir de Monsieur, Le Troisiemme Homme, Mauboussin Homme, Gris Clair.
I like Caldey Island Lavender very much, and often spray it on before bed. It's not really something I wear out. Lavender is very calming for me, and it's one of those scents I prefer mostly on it's own. I think it shines best directly from a freshly pinched sprig, where its resinous and floral qualities can be best appreciated in tandem. I find in many compositions the lavender note is overwhelmed by other notes and loses its identity. In Caron's Pour un Homme, the vanilla just nicely warms and relaxes the lavender, allowing it space to breathe. I do like the dry astringent quality it brings to fougeres such as Rive Gauche PH, Pascal Morabito Or Black, and Azzaro, to name three where lavender works well. L'Occitan is just a bit too barbershop soapy for my taste. I do like Brin de Reglisse which delightfully reveals the resinous intersection of licorice and lavender. Strange to be thinking about lavender in the middle of winter.
Jicky, MdM and Oxford & Cambridge.
Reviews :: http://www.lemouchoirparfume.blogspot.co.uk :: Reviews
I like several from your list but Jicky is, by far, my favorite.
Caldey Island Lavender. I live 10 minutes from the boats that take you to the island.
Hard work never killed anyone, but why risk it?
From this list: Caron pour un Homme,
also: Yardley Lavender.
I don't particularly like this note as a main player, but I have an unexplainable love for Antiheros
Love Creed Royal Scottish Lavender. I was recently able to get my hands on a bottle of this. I have not yet tried all of those on the list however... Still trying to find Patou.
I was disappointed in Gris Clar - based on the BN love, I had high hopes. On me it smelled like electricity - like a hot circuit board or something - like heated metal. Was not very pleasant.
Seasonal favorites:
1. Creed - Spice & Wood
2. Creed - Aventus
3. Tom Ford - Grey Vetiver
4. Xerjoff - Fars
5. Dior - Vetiver
6. Creed - Green Valley
7. Clive Christian - 1872 for Men
8. by Kilian - Straight to Heaven
9. The Different Company - De Bachmakov
10. Creed - Royal Scottish Lavender
I voted for other - My favorites are YSL La Nuit L'Homme and Creed BdP
I voted Jicky, the EdP to be specific.
Eau Noire is a lavender? I don't get that at all.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
I chose Caron Pour un Homme because I have not had the pleasure of smelling Jicky yet. Shame on me!
I'm not OLD...I'm VINTAGE!
It took me YEARS to detect lavender in EN, rubegon. It's buried under the behemoth immortelle note. But it's there, now my nose zeroes in on it instantly.

"Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance."
-- Eckhart Tolle
I voted for Caron and Gris Clair, Caron being my favourite lavender note.
I actually really love Hypnose Lancome pour Homme, where the lavender note is truly lovely
À l'air libre les oiseaux ont eux aussi le vertige (camille)
Voted for the Caron, but I haven't tried the Caldey Island.
Looking back at the survey, there is a dearth of straight-up fougeres. I would have put a few in such as: Fougere Royale, English Fern, Gucci Nobile, Sartorial, Rive Gauche.
The Caron is ahead of Jicky? Really? C'mon people! The Caron is well executed, solid ... dependable. In France I suppose it's what the average man that wants to smell like lavender smells like. It's about as complex and rare as dirt though. Jicky is effin' magic. It's a voodoo witch doctors spell woven by Aimé Guerlain a hundred twenty some odd years ago. It has just as much juju as it ever did. It's a force of nature.
Basenotes - you've disappointed me. But it's not too late to make amends. Vote Jicky.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
Yeah, rubegon, I was thinking the same thing.
Caron PH has a fantastic lavender opening that makes the note clearly discenible, I've not experienced anything like it.
- - - Updated - - -
While Jicky is amazing, I really don't find the lavender to be a prominent note hence my vote went to Caron. I will have to try Jicky again while keeping lavender in mind. The Caron struck me immediately and made the note very clear to my nose, I knew instantly that I was smelling lavender. After a while it fades into something that is sweet and a touch tobacco-y. I need to spend more time with Jicky though.
I voted the Caron.
I look forward to getting my hands on PPH Privé & Caldey Island some day and would like to try Lorenzo Villoresi's one, too.
Also own and enjoy MdM, Jicky (Extrait is my favourite), EdC du Coq and, depending on the situation, Oxford & Cambridge, Nicolai Pour Homme (both very cooling), Gris Clair & Taste of Heaven.
Eau Noire is an interesting one. The immortelle is a bit overpowering, but the Dior flagship here has a nice stand with examples of the individual ingredients used in the line. They are great and the Jasmin is superb - I could happily wear it as is. After smelling it 'solo' and then sniffing Eau Noire it just leaps out at you - enough that I might grab a bottle at some point.
High hopes for L'Heure Vertueuse - really looking forward to trying this one soon.

One moment ... yeargh!!! ... while I extract this rapier from my chest.
Mike & MR - I regret swapping my Eau Noire now, but I think of it more as an immortelle soliflor with some supporting notes as modifiers. The last time I smelled it I was pretty clueless, though.
Chopwet - Jicky just smelled like Jicky when I first smelled it. After a while I realized that Jickyness is mostly lavender with vanilla, civet and maybe tonka? It's lavender softened and made "human". Funny that the BN FD doesn't list lavender among the notes.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
Good suggestions, thank you. And thank you for your comment. Yes, I could have included those and left others out - as always, I tried my best picking the scents for the survey and I always make sure to put in an "others" option so that people can still vote even if their preferred scents are not in the line-up which is not and can never be an exhaustive list. It is based on my very subjective and limited impression of what lavender scents are most popular or considered most interesting around here at the moment. For the same reason, I'm very happy and thankful for all the extra suggestions you and others have provided.
Thank you all for your votes and comments. It seems we have two clear favorites here, classics Pour un Homme and Jicky fighting it out between them with the Caron leading narrowly. And then two much more recent releases, Gris Clair... and A Taste of Heaven vying closely for 3rd place. At the other end of the scale, Eau Noire makes a surprisingly poor performance with only two votes at the moment (one of which, as you know, is mine! ).
It's been both interesting and entertaining to follow the voting and the comments and I want to thank all of you for participating. And Please feel free to go on voting - the poll stays open!
Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."
Clarice Lispector ( 1920-1977) - Perfumes da Terra / Earth Perfumes
Summerbee Products Lavender Cologne (not in the Basenotes database), which I absolutely love. It's very basic, just lavender with some vetiver to fix it, but it smells great. I often spray some on my pillow before I go to bed. Very inexpensive too.
for me from your list:
Hermès - Brin de Réglisse
Very unique
Sexy smooth Fourreau Noir
Kurt smells like Teen Spirit
Bad girls don't cry but get even.
I chose Royal Scottish Lavender and A Taste of Heaven, and on "other" I´d say Mouchoir de Monsieur and Ungaro II. And the new from Cartier - L´Heure Verteuese.
...oh, I forgot this one...
Till last month my favorites were Pour un Homme and Gris Clair but then I knew Taste of Heaven and to me now it's the best lavender due to its complexity, like a millefeuilles of lavender.
Voted for Antonio Puig, Agua Lavanda. Love that stuff! Such a casual yet quality take on the genre. However, Prada's brand new Luna Rossa is also great and the bottle I bought late last month is fast becoming my signature scent. I'd call this one more of a "suit and tie" lavender. Very in keeping with the style of the Prada Ambers.
About a year ago I tried a tester of Royal Scottish Lavender at NM Orlando. Liked it so much that I bought a bottle on the spot. They had to ship it to me as only the giant flacon was in stock. Unfortunately, what I received smelled so different from the tester that I ultimately returned it.

I adore BK 'A Taste of Heaven' - cosiest frag I have
My favourites are Mouchour de Monsieur and Helmut Lang EdC. Latter is not often classified as a lavender fragrance, but I think it's a viable classification.
CZEOA1100_Czech_Speake_Oxford_Cambridge_After_Shave_Shaker.jpg oops, that was kind of small lol. Yeah, oxford and cambridge gets my vote.

Set the screen that Rockbox will start in. The default is the main menu but the following options are available:
Rockbox can be configured to turn off power after the unit has been idle for a defined number of minutes. The player is idle when playback is stopped or paused. It is not idle while the USB or charger is connected , or while recording. Settings are either Off or 1 to 10 minutes in 1 minute steps. Then 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes are available.
The Sleep Timer powers off your player after a given time, whether playing or not.
Bookmarks allow you to save your current position within a track so that you can return to it at a later time. Bookmarks also store rate, pitch and speed information from the Pitch Screen (see section 4.3.3). Bookmarks are saved on a per directory basis or for individual (saved) playlists. You can store multiple bookmarks, even for the same track. When there's already a bookmark for a directory or playlist, new bookmarks are added before existing ones.
Bookmarks are stored next to the directory or playlist they reference, in a file with the same name as the directory or playlist and a ".bmark" extension. To load a bookmark, select the bookmark file and then select the bookmark to load. There are other ways to load a bookmarks mentioned below.
Note: Bookmarking only works when tracks are launched from the file browser, and does not work for tracks launched via the database. In addition, they do not work with dynamic playlists.
When either Yes – Recent Only or Ask – Recent Only is selected, bookmarks are only created if the Maintain a List of Recent Bookmarks is enabled.
Note: The Resume function remembers your position in the most recently accessed track regardless of how the Bookmark on Stop option is set.
The following keys can be used to navigate in any bookmark list.
Key | Remote Key | Action |
Down | Forward | Selects the next bookmark. |
Up | Rewind | Selects the previous bookmark. |
Navi or Right | Navi | Resumes from the selected bookmark. |
Left or Stop | Stop | Exits Recent Bookmark menu |
Rec | Rec | Deletes the currently selected bookmark |
Long Navi | Long Navi | Enters the context menu for the selected bookmark. |
There are two options in the context menu:
The automatic resume feature stores and recalls resume positions for all tracks without user intervention. These resume points are stored in the database, and thus automatic resume only works when the database has been initialized.
When automatic resume is enabled, manually selected tracks resume playback at their last playback position. It does not matter in which way you start the track; tracks are resumed whether they are navigated to through the database browser or file browser, by starting a playlist, or by skipping through tracks in the current playlist. (As an exception, when a track is resumed by loading a bookmark, the playback position saved in the bookmark takes precedence.)
Optionally, you can also enable automatic resume for automatic track transitions. In this case, the next track will be resumed as well instead of starting playback at its beginning. This is most useful for podcasts, and can be enabled on a per-directory basis.
A track's resume position is updated whenever playback of that track stops, including when explicitly stopping the track, powering off the player, or starting playback of another track.
If you intend to start a track from its beginning but notice that it was resumed, you can press Left in the WPS to skip back to its beginning. When pressing Left again in the first few seconds of a track to go to the previous track, the previously (on first button press) saved resume position is retained. Therefore, you can also use Left and Right to skip across tracks in a playlist without losing their resume position.
A typical value is "/podcast", which matches all files in directories /PODCAST, /Podcast or /podcast and their subdirectories, but not in directories /podcasts (mind the trailing "s") or /audio/podcast.
This setting controls the language of the Rockbox user interface. Selecting a language will activate it. The language files must be in the /.rockbox/langs/ directory. See section 12.1.4 for further details about languages.
You can use pre-generated .talk clips to have directory names spoken properly, but you must enable this explicitly (see below).
Use of a .talk clip takes precedence over other directory name voicing. Otherwise (e.g. if a .talk clip is not available), voicing uses the method set under Voice Directories above.
Use of a .talk clip takes precedence over other filename voicing. Otherwise (e.g. if a .talk clip is not available), voicing uses the method set under Voice Filenames above.
See VoiceHowto for more details on configuring speech support in Rockbox.
These options set the hotkey function for their respective screens (see section 4.5). The default for the WPS is View Playlist. The File Browser default is Off.

I do (e)njoy this game! Especially large and demanding multi(4-6)-player maps.
I do not play 1 vs 1 rather frequently.
2 things i do not do:
1.) I won't disrupt a game by surrendering early!
2.) I do not play with guys having points below 1550 to 1600, unless they are rather new at weewar and/or I know they are motivated! (I am not arrogant :-) But too often there are reasons for the low count... and especially <1500 is too often characteristic to idi...)
Nevertheless and unfortunately, of course, some folks with higher scores are insufferable.
And one thing I hope: The Devs should fix the increasing problems and instability issues rather quickly. Otherwise not only I will start thinking about whether paying money for this is worth it or not. Would be sad to see this going down the drain.

Four years ago, Janesh Rahlan watched the Grant Park presidential election extravaganza play out on TV from the confines of his parent's Aurora home.
"I did want to go, but my parents said that is not happening on a school night," said Rahlan, now 20 and a junior at Northwestern University.
This time around, however, Rahlan said that all the homework and midterms in college could not keep him away from President Barack Obama's McCormick Place rally.
The atmosphere Tuesday, however, is likely to lack the spectacle of 2008, when an estimated 240,000 people streamed into Grant Park to see a victorious Obama speak, a historic moment marking the election of the first African-American president.
Obama's campaign chose to keep its festivities indoors this year, where the crowd will be limited to a few thousand die-hard supporters who volunteered to work for the campaign in the final days. For supporters who don't have a ticket to the event, a CNN-organized gathering in the plaza outside the James R. Thompson Center may be the only public event available.
City and campaign officials have made no announcements of accommodations for a public gathering. Information about Tuesday's plans has been sparse. City officials said the Office of Emergency Management and Communication would be announcing traffic restrictions related to the president's visit, but as of late Monday no announcements had been made.
If Obama plans to move around the city Tuesday, commuters should expect other temporary road closings to accommodate his motorcade. Workers at the Aon Center were notified Monday by the building's management that Columbus Drive near the office tower will be shut down Tuesday, with city salt trucks used as barriers. Several other streets surrounding the building will be subject to "rolling closures" because of motorcades in the area, the notice read.
At some point Tuesday night, Obama will join supporters at McCormick Place's Lakeside Center, the older, black steel and glass building on the east side of Lake Shore Drive. Campaign officials have not said how many people will be allowed into the convention center, but no one will be allowed in without a ticket.
After days of making calls to voters in battleground states, Rahlan was one of many Chicago-area volunteers to receive a ticket Monday to the president's watch party Tuesday night.
He received the ticket at a Skokie Obama campaign phone bank location and summed up his reaction with one word.
"Ecstatic," Rahlan said. "It (is) one of those things where you get to be a part of history."
Rahlan said he plans to take public transportation to McCormick Place on Tuesday and arrive around 8:30 or 9 p.m. Before then, however, he said he might work a little more at the Skokie phone bank.
"Just to make a final push," he said.
City officials finalized a permit Monday for CNN to park a satellite truck and a jumbo television screen on Randolph Street between City Hall and the Thompson Center plaza. The cable network is inviting the public to watch results on the big screen, and it plans to televise part of its election coverage from the location.
The city also issued parade and demonstration permits for a Tuesday night immigration rights rally. The Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights plans to march from Chinatown to McCormick Place, arriving at the west side of the complex at 8:30 p.m. and remaining there for a vigil until 10:45 p.m. The group will gather at 2333 S. Martin Luther King Drive, which is on the opposite side of Lake Shore Drive from the president's rally.

REVIEW: Beautiful Creatures
Campy and vampy, "Beautiful Creatures" is based on a book published 5 years after "Twilight" so yeah, sloppy seconds. And like "Twilight," more books followed so this, too, could become a franchise.
The story centers on a 16 year old caster (what we used to call a witch) who falls in love with a mortal senior in high school who can't wait to escape his small Southern town. The offbeat loner,
Emma Thompson, Jeremy Irons, and especially Emmy Rossum have fun as members of this bewitched Southern family. But the story gets silly as it gets campy. It's at its best doing the teen angst thing, which is played out early on in the set-up. Subtle, this one ain't. And at two hours, it's a half hour too long.

Many people are unaware of the role that nutrition plays in maintaining beautiful skin as they age. Vitamin C is essential for building collagen, a protein that lies deep in the dermis where it supports skin giving it firmness and protection against wrinkling. Vitamin C and vitamin E are antioxidant vitamins that shield skin cells against free radicals that damage cellular structures and break down collagen and elastin, proteins that gives skin its youthful firmness. Skin also needs adequate amounts of essential fatty acids to protect it against moisture loss that can lead to dryness. Unfortunately, not everyone gets enough skin-protective nutrients from diet alone.
DermaSilk knows that effective anti-aging skin care requires a dual approach – good nutrition combined with topical treatments. That's why they offer nutraceutical ingredients that target skin aging from the inside out. These nutraceutical-rich products contain antioxidants that protect skin from environmental damage that can lead to wrinkles, loss of firmness and sun sports. With regular use of DermaSilk, you'll see visible improvements in skin firmness and texture and the reassurance of knowing you've armed your skin cells with the nutrients they need to combat the aging process. That's the DermaSilk difference.

Even though you may be doing all of the right things with your skin care regimen, it's important to understand that healthy skin actually starts from the inside. Proper nutrition is vital to the function and well-being of all organs and in fact the skin, the body's largest organ, is no exception. Unlike topical beauty products, Dermasilk focuses on improving the look of the skin by supplying it with what it needs internally. These quality nutritional supplements can be used in conjunction with your regular beauty regimen in order to boost your results by ensuring your skin function at its optimal levels. Without proper nutrition, you're fighting a losing battle when it comes to your topical products.
One of the most common complaints among those experiencing the signs of aging skin is loss of firmness. As the body ages, it produces less collagen which is vital for good structure and support. Free radicals from the environment as well as lifestyle choices can also cause collagen to break down. Dermasilk Anti-Sagging-Facial firming Dietary Supplement Caplets helps to promote collagen production on the inside so that your skin looks better on the outside. The formula also helps the skin retain vital moisture so that it stays plump. Dermasilk Anti-Sagging-Facial firming Dietary Supplement Caplets promote clarity along with better tone and texture.
If you think that the only defense to your wrinkles is creams or surgery, give Dermasilk Anti-Wrinkle Capsules a try. These supplements improve the tone and texture of the skin from within so that you'll begin to notice smoother and softer complexion.

It is small, and its residents are poor, but Central Falls has always maintained a unique identity and its people have persevered with the stubborn, defiant pride of the underdog. That demands respect.
Central Falls should not be abolished.
Central Falls should not become another neighborhood of Pawtucket.
Central Falls should not be split up among its neighbors like a family of orphaned children.
Central Falls should be saved.
But how?
With all due respect to Mark Pfeiffer, the state receiver, it should not be devoured by its bigger and only slightly less poor neighbor, Pawtucket.
That won't happen anyway, for a variety of reasons.
One is that, barring an arrogant and perhaps unconstitutional show of force by the General Assembly and the incoming Chafee administration, "annexation" -- to use the sterile term in the receiver's report for holding a pillow over the face of a proud community -- would require a referendum of the voters in both Central Falls and Pawtucket. It would never fly in either community. Central Falls voters have too much love for the place where they live to approve it, and already beleaguered Pawtucket taxpayers have zero interest in adopting the financial problems of their troubled neighbor. Remember back a decade or more ago, when the state was doling out huge financial incentives for school districts to regionalize? A proposal to merge the Central Falls and Pawtucket systems was put on the ballot at that time and Pawtucket voters dealt it a crushing defeat; they wanted no part of it.
Pawtucket has plenty of problems of its own to deal with. They could very well find themselves in the near future being the second community where the new state receivership law is applied.
When asked for his reaction to the receiver's report, incoming Pawtucket Mayor Donald Grebien spoke for several minutes about the various ramifications and issued a somewhat lengthy written statement. Frankly, that surprised me. I expected Grebien to have a two-word response to the receiver's proposal, the second word being "you." Then again, the mayor-elect is more gracious and diplomatic than I.
And what do we do when Pawtucket, having absorbed Central Falls' problems, goes down the hole itself? Do we have Providence take over the combined Pawtucket/Central Falls? What happens when that monster fails, perhaps taking the whole state down with it?
How does any entity deal with a situation where its debt has gotten so far beyond its means that it has no hope of becoming solvent? It declares bankruptcy and a federal court works out a reorganization of its finances that allows it to shed some or all of its debt load and move forward.
Distasteful as it may seem, bankruptcy is the answer here. It is Central Falls' bad debt that should be written off, not the city itself.
The fear is that the bond and financial markets would go apebleep at such a move, and the other communities in Rhode Island and perhaps the state itself would find themselves unable to borrow money, or could only do so at interest rates that would be prohibitive.
God forbid that the bond markets be rattled, but bonded indebtedness is not Central Falls' problem, its unfunded pensions are. Even in bankruptcy, Central Falls could arrange to pay off its bonds in full.
The city's insoluble problem is its unfunded pension obligations.
When private corporations go belly-up and can't meet their pension obligations, the Pension Benefit Guarantee Corporation, an entity of the federal government, steps in and protects the interests of the retirees. Why couldn't the same thing be done for Central Falls? Have PBGC absorb the unfunded – to the tune of $46 million -- John Hancock pension plan for police officers and firefighters that the city will never be able to pay out anyway and put all employees from this point on into the Municipal Employee Retirement System that requires communities to keep reasonably current in funding their pension obligations. The police and fire unions would surely agree to this; it would be foolhardy of them to insist on holding on to a stand-alone pension plan that pretty soon won't be worth the paper it is printed on.
According to the PBGC website, an underfunded pension plan can be eliminated by means of a "distress termination." To do that, "the employer must prove to a bankruptcy court or to PBGC that the employer cannot remain in business unless the plan is terminated." Well, that sounds pretty much like what Pfeiffer said about Central Falls. "If the application is granted, PBGC will take over the plan as trustee and pay plan benefits, up to the legal limits, using plan assets and PBGC guarantee funds."
That would give the city the clean start it needs to stay in existence and adopt stricter fiscal discipline going forward.
A key component of that, as Pfeiffer said, would be regionalization of services.
Public officials, good government types, and taxpayer groups have talked and talked and talked and talked and talked about regionalization, but everybody seemed to know somewhere in the backs of their minds that, this being Rhode Island, it wasn't going to happen until some crisis finally forced us to move forward with it.
Well, here's your crisis.
Central Falls' financial debacle could be the impetus for developing a regionalization plan, not just among Central Falls and its neighbors, but for all 39 municipalities in Rhode Island.
Mayor Charles Moreau said in response to the receiver's report that Central Falls could be a pioneer, showing other troubled communities the way out of the fiscal wilderness. Well, wagons ho!
Why wait for Pawtucket to fall to a similar fate, followed by Woonsocket, then Providence, then North Providence, then who knows which municipality will be next?
Regionalize local services – most certainly including schools -- into a few county-type governments (but not the five awkward and unwieldy counties we sort of have now) and fund them with an income tax, eliminating completely and forever the onerous and odious property taxes that are Rhode Island's real problem with overtaxation.
The receiver recommends consolidating all the independent pension plans across the state into a single statewide system, that would be a nice first step in regionalization.
Another really good idea in the receiver's report is a state takeover of the Wyatt Detention Facility, not only because it is in just as bad a financial situation as Central Falls itself, but on the general principle that privately run prisons are a BAD idea, for more reasons than I have space to list in this essay. Just one example given in the Pfeiffer report: Why should the CEO of comparatively tiny Wyatt receive a salary (a whopping $233,000) one-and-a-half times the size of the salary earned by the Director of Corrections, who runs the sprawling and far more difficult to control (and much better run) ACI?
As Pfeifer noted in last week's press conference, something needs to be done, it needs to be done in the General Assembly among other places and it needs to be done quickly.
Let's hope the General Assembly does something quickly about the Central Falls situation but, more importantly, let's hope it does something right.
Merry Christmas to all readers of Politics as Usual, and if you happen to go past one of those red Salvation Army kettles this week, throw a few bucks in; those people do good work.

One thing I would like to clarify: Karen and Richard's father, Harold, was a gentle and loving man. He was not at all demanding. Unfortunately he was under the thumb of his wife, Agnes. When you see Barbie/Karen being spanked, think of dear ole Mom, not Dad.
P.S. As you stated, Richard married the sister (Mary) of their road manager, Mark Rudolph. What was left out is that Mark and Mary were Karen and Richard's first cousins! (Their mothers were sisters.)

"Better than Axis more like Spin"
If you were turned off by Axis don't worry this is better. Spend the credit and find out how it all ends.
"Subtitle "Wulfgar: Camel Puncher""
Another great book by R.A. Salvatore. This addition to the series introduces a few more characters that will play major roles in future novels. Absolutely full of the swirling blades of Drizzt, and many moments where you may find your self cheering for Companions of the hall, along with some comedy thrown in. In short great great great if you read the first 2 or 5 books your probably already all in, but if you haven't read them I recommend reading Homeland , Exile, Sojourn, The Crystal Shard, Streams of Silver, in that order before you read this one, unless you want to skip to the camel punching then get this one first.
"Suspence action thriller"
Legacy is the seventh book of the Drizzt Saga and the first of the Legacy of the Drow Series. All the previous stories in the saga are great but it wasn't until this series that the conflicts took battles to an epic scale. As always the action sequences are amazing and the suspense will keep you on edge. The cast of characters is incredibly diverse and the narrator does a tremendous job giving each one their own voice. This is Sherlock Holmes meets The Return Of The King. Just remember if you skip the previous novels you may feel a little lost at first but Salvatore does a pretty good job in bringing people up to speed. And fortunately despite only having this book Legacy on preorder, audible is offering the complete series for sale on the day it was released.
I recommend the whole series for anyone interested in books that take place in fantasy settings from age 8+, it does have graphic fight sequences but it lacks the gorey details.
"More please! No Spoilers."
After reading the first 24 books in the series getting the 25th was a no brainer. After the appropriately gloomy Neverwinter series this new addition to the series is pleasantly upbeat. The plot is incredibly original and I think the book is a great edition to the series and I will be looking forward to the release of the next one.
There is a problem with this book that I don't like, one of the characters acts in ways that is out of sync with everything else written about them. And while I was listening I kept thinking that it didn't make any sense dispite Salvatore's explanations for the behavior. And I get characters and authors change over time but this kind of seemed unrealistic even for a series that once had a rhyming dwarf in it. I also skipped all of the monolauges in between the Acts of the books because they have been over the top melo drama for a while now or always... probably always. Fictional violence is always the best way to solve fictional problems.
If you haven't read any books from the other series concerning this cast of characters you will be lost. This is the 25th book of the main series and the 27th if you include the parallel series that stems from servant of the shard. While the author does have a few reminders of what happened before scattered around the book it is not nearly enough. But this is an excellent series and the old books are being converted to audio. Start with Homeland, it is great and for the most part they all are. Just remember you're aloud to ship ahead chapters because Salvatore has always ended chapters in cliff hangers only to be followed by three chapters divoted to people on the other side of the world.
If you have been avoiding The Dark Elf series because it's too popular. I strongly recommend 2666 by Roberto Bolaño. 2666 is an absolutely horrible book that no one likes, because it is horrible.
"Zero Regrets, Buy this book."
This is a Must Listen. This book is very much worth $45.50 and worth way more than a credit. If you haven't read The Passage buy it, hear it, love it and come back here. Both Novels are wonderfully written and filled with fantastic characters and stories. They are both filled with excitement, some sadness/madness, and a few scoot to the edge of your seat jump up and whoop moments. And when it isn't all tension it's like gravity.
"Borrow it from a Library, Not a Repeatable Listen"
The main plots of the series stop moving forward with this book. Nothing is bad and nothing is great about it, It lacks excitement and intrigue. This is the calm before the storm, just like much of A dance with dragons. So together you will have sixty something hours of calm. I think it is a waste of credits in the end, so I would just get it another way if possible. It is not a book that people will likely reread, I usually listen to most of the books I get at least 3 times some more than 10 but I will never go through this one again.
"Extremely Misleading Subtitle"
The publishers summary was a bit misleading.so if you want a break down on what the book is about without any details here you go.
This is not a book about the first formic war. This is a book about people before the war. 99% of the book is about space miners. 1% is about military people on earth.
They should change the tittle to something else and add Book 1
Did I get the same book as everyone else? This book is not a good audio book. Scott Brick cant make this fun. If you want to feel smart because you read an acclaimed master piece with no entertainment value then this is the book for you. This book is just to dry to be endured.
In print it may be fantastic but as audio it is a very wretched thing.
"Not cards best work"
If you are a fan of the shadow series, this is a must read. But it is not the best short story Card has written. I think it needed more Bean, and it created more questions than it answered. Probably for more $ in the future. I almost feel like boycotting the Enders game prequel and every other book Card writes that isn't a Children Of The Mind Sequal. It's been 16 years, not very nice of Mr.Card to keep us all waiting so very long.
"Not much Ender"
This is a Dink story. Ender is around but he is not the main figure. If you are new to the Enderverse Read Enders Game and all the other Ender books first and then shadow series. and then first meetings and then get this. This is a good short story but the others are just much better.

This have a problem, I bought the X2 game yesterday, downloaded it, installed it today an now the server of linuxgamepublishing.com is down, so i cannot start the game because the LGP Security System Manager can't verify my key. So this system makes your licence dependant on the status of the lgp server. I expect this don't happens frecuently.
the game doesn't require the LGP server to be online, though it may take 10-20 seconds longer to start up because the connections need to time out.
If you rented the game however, it probably will not work. In which case you may contact the store you rented it from, and I'm sure they will be happy to extend your period to make up for any inconvenience caused by this.
That said, the hosting provider for our servers took it down for "maintainance" without bothering to notify us about it, so we're not too happy with that to say the least.

Ok, good to know the reason why it's happening. Tank you for responding. I rented the game at tuxgames.com for a month this Thursday so that's why it requires the connection to validate the key every time I start the game.
Tuxgames is also offline so I cannot report anything to them, but anyway no problem now that I know you are working on restoring the server, good luck with that, so I and others will be able to continue playing those great games.

I am a board-certified dermatologist specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of cancers of the skin. I am the director of Memorial Sloan Kettering's regional skin cancer clinic in Hauppauge, Long Island. In addition to consulting and treating patients in Hauppauge, I also see patients at the Center's outpatient facility in Manhattan.
Although providing the best care possible for my patients remains my primary goal, I also remain committed to education and clinical research. My hope is that educating physicians and the public about the importance of early skin cancer detection will help save lives.
I am active in clinical research and have published numerous papers on topics related to skin cancer with an emphasis on melanoma, atypical/dysplastic nevi, and congenital melanocytic nevi. My research interests are focused on the use of imaging instruments such as photography, dermoscopy, and confocal laser microscopy to recognize skin cancer early in its development. I frequently lecture on these topics both nationally and internationally.

Re: Reign In Blood
This is the second Slayer album I ever bought with Show No Mercy being the first. I don't think I could touch SNM now, I don't have it anymore and am not too fussed about having it in my collection.
But this album...WOW!!! From the very first chugging riff of Angel Of Death, is the first album I would ever regard as a face melter with it hitting you relentlessly with riff after riff after riff. I bought this in 1987 and for about a whole year I played this album repeatedly all day every day and i still play it in the car now and again as its intensity has not diminished over two decades. I thought that they and other bands would be able to top this but this is an album I keep coming back to again and again. I wouldn't mind hearing a remastered version with a bit more sound dynamics as to me it lacks bottom end but that's Rick Rubin's dry production style. I don't think it would have sounded as intense if Brian Slagel had still been the producer so going to Rick was a very sound move. So to me, definately the best metal album of all time bar none!

For libertarians, the basic unit of social analysis is the individual. Individuals are, in all cases, the source and foundation of creativity, activity, and society. In the new issue of Cato Policy Report, Cato scholar David Boaz, author of The Libertarian Mind: A Manifesto for Freedom, explains the roles and rights of individuals in a free society, and cautions against a vision of a world in which individuals have no way to cooperate with others except through the state.

David Boaz's newly released The Libertarian Mind is a comprehensive guide to the history, philosophy, and growth of the libertarian movement, with incisive analyses of today's most pressing issues and policies.

It is really touching me ..
It is really touching me ..
Orser-Yuna the real dream team!
Watching the video makes me sad even more. You know like Yuna will say goodbye and retires.
Wow, that was just beautiful. Yuna has to be one of the best people out there.
I think Brian and Yu Na had a very special bond. Maybe Yu Na was/ is like a daughter he never had. A lot of Yu Na fans knew that she would put the OGM on Brian at some point. If she retires, I think most Yu Na fans will feel very sad for Brian. When he came back from Korea after the Olympics, he had a brief interview at the airport. When he talked about the possibility of Yu Na's retirement, he got emotional. Even my eyes were getting teary a little bit.
I think so too. In one interview I saw, Brian expressed appreciation to Yuna for making him go into coaching, something he didn't really think about doing, I don't know if ever, but certainly not when he did. He said he was still skating himself and wasn't thinking about going into coaching. Yuna kept asking him to coach her and he thought he was lucky that he did since it opened up an area of skating for him that he enjoys doing now.
Yuna really knows how to hire the right person~ Just amazing. She should run her own company once she retires.
That video was very touching. I had tears in my eyes by the time it was over.
Very touching video~
no tear jerker--it is how they set it up--background music, slow deliberate talking and movings and praising--
just words are brians and yu-na''s and theirs from the heart-but none the less staged with background music, movement and talking.
Perhpas it did not stir your emotions. But it certainly did for many others. For them, it was a tearjerker. Besides, what people define as "tearjerkers" (and just about w/everything to a degree) is subjective. What makes one person cry might make another laugh or get no reaction.
That video is so lovely. I was thinking even as YuNa won that it was Brian's gold medal moment, too, because he did so much to nurture her wonderful talent. The relationship between them does indeed seem special. It's a tribute to both his character and hers.
More than that, I had no idea she was the one who convinced him to coach! I wonder what inner voice told her that he would be the ideal coach rather than someone who had years of coaching experience and a track record of victories behind him. What an uncanny choice, and a perfect one--not just in terms of his ability to keep her honing her talent, but because of his warmth and calm, which she needed to protect her from the pressure and frenzy of being Korea's biggest celebrity and first Olympic contender. So YuNa's given Brian two huge gifts: a gold medal win and an entire new career.
I love the idea that she put the medal around everyone's neck. What empathy and humility that shows. And from everything I've heard or read, Brian is a guy who deserves such treatment. Even when he lost to Boitano, he was every inch the gentleman, as was Boitano. (I've heard Boitano say that he was careful not to make too much fuss on the podium, because he didn't want to rub it in for Orser. Two adults behaving graciously.) All in all, this is the best possible outcome for this Olympic cycle, and I say that as someone who's a fan of both Mao and YuNa. (And then Mao won the World Gold! A perfect ending to the season.)
Last edited by Olympia; 04-11-2010 at 11:23 AM.
Yah, I've wondered about this too. Here she was planning for the all important OGM cycle at the tender age of 15/16 and somehow knowing/feeling something enough to "pursue" Orser, whom, as good as he is as a skater, was not a "proven" coach.
From what I read, it was a pursuit by her, her mom and her coach in Korea, who wanted her to find joy in skating. Yuna had come to Canada for a few years prior to this to choreo programs with David Wilson. Brian Orser and Tracy Wilson also chipped in with some aspects of her skating. And through that Yuna found she liked Brian's way of teaching. And I can see why. A typical Korean coach would make you repeat jumps to get it perfect, even if it breaks your body. His personality is calm. Brian I think knows what an elite skater knows the technics of jumps. Brian said, when Yuna came to him she had all the jumps. It was making them shine that he needed to do. He described her as a "diamond in the rough".
This was evidenced by the promo clip on NBC during the Olympics where Yuna gets frustrated with her missed jump and they shown Brian doing something that makes her smile and laugh at the end. I would say a Korean coach, or any old school coach, could have disciplined her and made her cry (just guessing).

Umpteen Millionaire Club: Discussion Questions for The Love Bunglers | |
Written by Kristy Valenti | Filed under Umpteen Millionaire Club, Jaime Hernandez | 26 Jun 2014 11:43 AM |
[The Umpteen Millionaire Club is our series which puts forth book club discussion questions for Fantagraphics titles. The Comics Journal interns Caroline Sibila, Lucy Kiester, and Daniel Johnson put together this set of questions. As this is intended for those who have read the book and contains spoilers, questions can be found behind the jump. - Ed.]
Jaime Hernandez's The Love Bunglers focuses on Maggie (a.k.a. Perla) Chascarrillo: the graphic novel is full of her old friends, estranged family members, and visits to art exhibitions. Maggie's present is interspersed with flashbacks to the Chascarrillo family's brief move to Cadezza and fraught return to Hoppers. Hernandez's expressive art depicts relationships evolving, and adds new dimensions to older stories. The Love Bunglers serves as both an extension of and an introduction to the Love and Rockets universe.
