RYAN VREDE writes that rugby will desperately miss the freakish talent that is Sonny Bill Williams.
Williams has played his last Super Rugby game for at least two years, having agreed a short-term deal with Japan's Wild Knights before returning to rugby league. He will start in the All Blacks' first two Rugby Championship Tests, with coach Steve Hansen prepared to accommodate him ahead of alternatives. He is a match winner. Hansen is no fool. It is that simple.
It is uncertain whether Williams will return to union in 2014, although it is expected he will. Indeed he intimated that he had contractually committed to a league return before he had found his spiritual home at the Chiefs. His celebration upon scoring this evening said everything you need to know about his feelings for the franchise's players and their supporters. That relationship and the desire to play in the 2015 World Cup for the All Blacks may be strong incentives to return.
The Chiefs collectively were excellent in securing the title. But the defining characteristic of the greatest players is their ability to produce an inspired moment that proves to be a decisive action in matches of the highest significance. Williams delivered such inspiration in the 19th minute.
Taking the ball on the cut from the brilliant Aaron Cruden, who now is surely the natural successor to Dan Carter, Williams eluded Beast Mtawarira, brushed aside Anton Bresler and stepped Lwazi Mvovo before offloading in the tackle in a move that birthed their first try. It killed the Sharks' resistance, their belief, their resolve.
And like the greats, Williams' value has transcended what he offered technically. Bryan Habana once told me that when he looked at Fourie du Preez in the change room pre-match or at critical times during games, his belief was lifted because he knew the scrumhalf had the potential to be the difference between winning and losing. Williams has had Du Preez-like influence on these Chiefs.
Not since Jonah Lomu has a player had this impact on the game.
He was a force in 2011 but is now a refined player – more intelligent, aware, street smart, and as a result more unpredictable. Lending similes from his love and aptitude for boxing – his trademark offload remains his haymaker, but he has added a punishing jab and body work to his repertoire.
Some credit here must go to coaches Dave Rennie and Wayne Smith, who have understood the value of engineering mismatches for the midfielder, rather than asking him to carry the ball up in the early phases. In handling the ball less but in more favourable situations, Williams' threat has been amplified. And in an environment where the elite sides' defence is virtually impenetrable, Williams is the one player to consistently thrive.
Williams has now won every trophy on offer in the southern hemisphere since his return to New Zealand, and, tellingly, has played a central role in each of those successes. Rugby has given him plenty of hardware, improved him technically and soaring celebrity, as well as less tangible but more valuable things like friendship, brotherhood and emotional maturity. In turn he has given the game and it's disciples too many breathless moments to count and regular reminders of what genius looks like.
I hope he'll be back. Rugby needs him to come back. It is lesser without him.

SPOKANE -- Police are cracking down on crime at abandoned hotels like the Tradewinds in Downtown Spokane.
A newly formed police unit is working with the motel owners to cut down on the mayhem at these highly visable spots.
Officers drafted a letter which gives them permissionto go onto the abandoned property to bust a criminal.
Before, there would not be a victim police could contact, so those caess fell by the wayside.
Police are also conducting more patrols around the abandoned hotels.

Black cats have never had it easy. In fact, they have long been considered bad luck and unfairly linked to witchcraft for centuries. With it being Friday the 13th, we think it's the perfect time to put some common assumptions about black cats to the test.
Black Cats Bring Bad Luck
False. In reality the color of a cat's coat has nothing to do with good or bad luck. And just for the record, in many other cultures, a black cat is a prized pet. In places like Japan and the British Isles, they're even thought to bring their pet parents good luck!
Black Cats Are Evil
False. Sure they may jump on the kitchen counter or use your favorite chair as a scratching post. And just maybe they even try to nibble your toes while you sleep. All cats can be playful. But evil? We think not.
Black Cats Are Often Unwanted
True. Ask any shelter or rescue worker and they will tell you—black cats are the hardest to get adopted. In fact, they are only half as likely to find homes as other cats. So, what's the problem? An unfairly earned reputation? Yep.
Black Cats Make Awesome Pets!
True. Black cats may get a bad rap, but really they're just as lovable as the next furry feline. So help us turn their luck around.Share this article with your friends, and consider adopting one of the cuties currently available at the ASPCA Adoption Center!
I loved my black cat Loki...whenever I came home at night from work he would always run out of the wood beside my house to greet me and come inside to sleep... just really sad i had to give him away since i was unable to keep him...its like losing a best friend after 8 years...
Black Cats Are Often Unwanted
This is precisely why I LIKE black cats. I too have often been misjudged by my 'cover'.
Ask any shelter or rescue worker and they will tell you—black cats are the hardest to get adopted. In fact, they are only half as likely to find homes as other cats. So, what's the problem? An unfairly earned reputation? Yep.
Black cats are the best! Kema was my baby girl and the only pet in the house to TRULY accept the new baby when he got here. She would lay right by his legs and never do anything but purr and keep him warm. We lost her about six months ago and the hole in my heart still hurts. When I adopt another cat you can bet it will be a black one! One down side though...in the dark, they are all but impossible to see. Worth it? I think so!
I actually have 2 black cats (completely by accident). They are cats, reguardless of color, they give love unconditionally, what more can I say. It is time that people put aside the old Wives Tales and Suspicions and become educated adults. GROW UP!
I have two black cats. One has two different colored iries! they have never been bad luck to me or anyone. simply silly
The only thing I worried about when I had black cat was tripping over him by accident in the middle of the night. I can't believe in this day and age some people still think that way.
i have two black cats and they are wonderful and loving never an ounce of bad luck.
people can be so stupid with such misconceptions no matter the color of a cat they are not bad luck.
One of our nearby shelters is running a Black Cat Special today - All black cats are only $13 today!
Black cats are gorgeous! I picked my boy Mercury out of a friend's unwanted litter BECAUSE he was the only black one. That was over 13 years ago now, I was 19 when I took him home and I'm now 32, married, with 2 kids. And he is still my big, happy, sweet little kitty man.

VANCEBORO — When area basketball team's started practice in early November, the West Craven Eagles were the clear favorite to win the Coastal 3A Conference. The Havelock Rams, they were tabbed anywhere from third to fifth.
The second-seed Rams (16-8, 11-3 Coastal Conference) are set to travel to top-seed West Craven (21-4, 14-0) on Friday in the conference tournament finals. Tipoff is slated for
"I don't know if (West Craven) expected us to be No. 2," Fryczynski said. "The pressure is on them. They are supposed to win. They are undefeated in the conference. We are pretty good, but they are the team that's supposed to win this game."
Both Fryczynski and West Craven coach Bryan Goehring couldn't remember the last time two
"It's huge," Goehring said. "
Defending tournament champion West Craven crushed
74 win over D.H. Conley in overtime Wednesday.

West Craven already beat
"I don't think (West Craven) is overlooking us now," Fryczynski. "I think we gave them two pretty good games. I'm sure Bryan (Goehring) was telling his guys at practice that this is a team that's been knocking on your door for a couple times, and they want some blood."
Senior Zack Bruns leads
West Craven's main scoring threat comes from seniors Josh Cuthbertson and Demetres Abrams. Cuthbertson is scoring more than 26 points per game, while snagged more than 10 rebounds per game.
He poured in 36 points in Wednesday's win over D.H. Conley.
Abrams is averaging more than 16 points per game.
"We think we can beat them," Fryczynski. "We are going to have to play really well. In both games, we were in the game. I haven't figured out how to stop Cuthbertson and Abrams."
The last time the rival schools met in the conference tournament, West Craven edged

|Margaret "Peg" Brinig is the quintessential interdisciplinarian, melding her expertise with law and social science in empirical studies of families, social capital, and social welfare legislation. Prof. Brinig is best known for her expertise in family law. She sits on the executive council of the International Society of Family Law, and recently published Family, Law, and Community: Supporting the Covenant (University of Chicago Press, 2010), which offers a distinctive study of legal reform from the perspective of family dynamics and social policy. The book examines a range of subjects of current legal interest including cohabitation, custody, grandparent visitation, and domestic violence. She concludes that conventional legal systems and the social programs they engender ignore social capital: the trust and support given to families by a community. Currently, Prof. Brinig is collaborating with another colleague, Dan Kelly, on a new Law, Economics, and Business seminar (beginning fall 2010). The seminar will feature speakers from within Notre Dame's law school, economics department, business school, and other departments, as well as speakers from other law schools and universities. Law students and graduate students from other departments will have the opportunity to read, discuss, and comment upon seminal scholarship by leading academics while earning course credit for participating in the seminar. At the University of Notre Dame, Prof. Brinig is a Fellow of the Institute for Educational Initiatives at Notre Dame, and works closely with the Institute's Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) Program. She continues to conduct groundbreaking research with colleague Nicole Garnett on the negative impact of Catholic K-12 school closures on poor neighborhoods. Prof. Brinig has been honored for her work at a Notre Dame football game, and won the Distinguished Professor Award at George Mason University. She is a member of the American Law Institute.

Some of his latest projects include an empirical study of Lanham Act false advertising decisions, a comparative analysis of innovation institutions and failures, and a study of the ways IP law understands product dimensions. Professor McKenna joined the Notre Dame Law School faculty on a permanent basis in the Fall of 2008 after visiting for a semester in the Spring of 2008. Prior to joining the faculty, Professor McKenna was a member of the faculty at Saint Louis University School of Law and practiced law with an intellectual property firm in Chicago, where he primarily litigated trademark and copyright cases.

|Matthew J. Barrett, a member of the Notre Dame Law School faculty since 1990, teaches business-related courses, currently accounting for lawyers, analytical methods for lawyers, and federal income taxation. He has also taught business associations, business planning, not-for-profit organizations, and seminars studying the intersection between law and accounting. His seminars during the fall semesters in 2008 and 2009 focused on the stock option scandals and the credit crisis, respectively. In 2001, the graduating class selected him as the Law School's Distinguished Teacher. In 2010, he was appointed as an adjunct professor at New York University School of Law to teach a course in Financial Accounting for Lawyers for the NYU/IRS Continuing Professional Education Program sponsored by the Office of Chief Counsel of the Internal Revenue Service. Professor Barrett earned both his B.B.A. and his J.D. summa cum laude from Notre Dame in 1982 and 1985, respectively, graduating at the top of his law-school class. A member of the Ohio bar since 1985, he clerked for the Honorable Cornelia G. Kennedy at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit (1985-86), and worked as an associate in the tax group at the Columbus, Ohio, law firm of Vorys, Sater, Seymour & Pease (1986-90). Professor Barrett became a Certified Public Accountant in Ohio in 1987. The Ohio Society of Certified Public Accountants awarded him its Silver Medal for the second-highest score on the May 1982 Ohio CPA examination, and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants awarded him its Elijah Watt Sells certificate for performance with high distinction on the May 1982 Uniform CPA examination. In 1997, Professor Barrett joined David R. Herwitz, now Professor Emeritus at Harvard Law School, as co-author of the second edition of the law school casebook, Accounting for Lawyers, a text whose roots date back to the first casebook on accounting for law students in 1948. More recently, Professor Barrett co-authored unabridged and concise versions of the fourth edition in 2006. Foundation Press published combined supplements for those fourth editions in 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. To date, these texts have been adopted for classroom use at more than 100 different law schools, including seventy that have used a fourth edition. Professor Barrett actively participates in the life of the Law School, the University, and the local South Bend community. In 1998, the Student Bar Association awarded him the Captain William O. McLean Community Spirit Award for exceptional contributions to community life. In 2010, Professor Barrett and his wife received The Spirit of Holy Cross Award from the Priests and Brothers of the Congregation of Holy Cross, Indiana Province for "years of diligent and deft service as [lay collaborators] with the Congregation of Holy Cross." That same year, he also received the Grenville Clark Award from the University of Notre Dame for volunteer activities advancing the cause of peace and human rights. Within the Law School, he currently serves on the Loan Forgiveness Committee (2008 to present). He has previously led the Ad Hoc Committee on the Honor Code (2010-2011), Promotions Committee (2007-2008), and the Loan Forgiveness Committee (2001-2004); served on the Appointments Committee (1999-2001, 2002, and 2004-2006), the Building Committee (2001-2009), the Curriculum Committee (1994-1998 and 2001-2004), the Promotions Committee (2006-2008), and the Public Interest Committee (1997-1999); and volunteered as faculty advisor to the Business Law Forum (1998-2003). Professor Barrett has served as a member of the Accountancy Advisory Board in the Mendoza College of Business since 1994 and on the Niebuhr and Clark Awards Committee since 2010. He previously served a term on the University Committee on Appeals (2009-2012), two terms as the Law School's elected representative to the University's Faculty Board on Athletics (1998-2004), serving as chair of the subcommittee on student welfare (2001-2004), a member of the subcommittee on communications (2000-2001), and a member of the University's Ad Hoc Committee on Drug Testing of Student-Athletes (2001-2003). Professor Barrett also served on the Committee on Student Life and the Subcommittee on Student Activities for the Colloquy for the Year 2000 (1991-92) and the Niebuhr and Clark Awards Committee (1997-2002). Outside the University, Professor Barrett has served as chair (1999-2000) and member (1997-2000) of the Committee on Audit and Association Investment Policy for the Association of American Law Schools, on the editorial board of the Journal of Limited Liability Companies (1994-1998), and as recording secretary of the taxation committee of the Ohio State Bar Association (1989-1990). He is a member of the ABA Section on Business Law, Committee on Law and Accounting (since 1995) and was elected as an alumnus member of Phi Beta Kappa in 2002. Professor Barrett periodically assists the Notre Dame Clinical Law Center with tax issues, volunteers with the Tax Assistance Program in the Mendoza College of Business, and has advised the South Bend Center for the Homeless on various tax and corporate matters. He is a parishioner of St. Joseph Church in South Bend, where he serves as a hospitality minister and a member of the St. Vincent de Paul Society. He served as an elected member of the Parish Pastoral Council from 1999-2002 and on the Strategic Planning Steering Committee from 1999-2005. He has also served a member of the board of directors of the St. Vincent de Paul Society of St. Joseph County, Inc. He is married to Kate Barrett, who works part-time for Campus Ministry as the assistant director of undergraduate ministry. They have three sons and one daughter.

RAZR X Black Irons
Product Overview
Callaway RAZR X Black irons are designed for the best precision and distance anywhere on the course. The set is optimized for distance, which means a consistent shot and better accuracy. It's coupled with a Black PVD Finish that makes glare a non-issue.
RAZR Technology
RAZR Technology redistributes the back cavity weight for a lower and deeper center of gravity, which allows for the power and forgiveness expected in a wide-sole iron along with the playability and precision of a thin-soled iron.
VFT Power System

St Louis County, DuluthA Guide to Conciliation Court
Filing Fee on Claims up to $7,500 is $75.00
Conciliation court was created to allow citizens to bring their legal claims before the court without expensive costs, attorney fees, or complicated legal procedures.
Conciliation court can settle claims that are below the limit set by law (see limit above). It can also order that property be returned. However, claims involving the following are not allowed:
You can reduce the amount of your claim so it can be heard in conciliation court. If you do reduce your claim, you will not be allowed to ask for more money later. You may not file any other claims related to the same incident.You should consider whether the person the claim is against (the defendant) will be able to pay you. Although you may win your case, conciliation court is not a collection agency. Check the back of your judgment form for information on how to collect.
Generally, you must file your claim in the county where the person you are making a claim against (the defendant) lives. Exceptions include:
Standard forms for filing are available in all court administration offices in Minnesota. In Duluth, forms are available in room 320 of the courthouse. If you are filing a claim, you are the plaintiff. You must have the following information:
- Your name and address and the exact full legal name and address of the defendant (home address if the defendant is an individual);
- The amount of your claim and the reason for it. Describe loss sustained and basis for estimate of the loss. Include date any bill was incurred and date of last payment, if any payments were received. Indicate type of services/goods provided. BE AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE. Interest or finance charges should be listed separately. If filing for non-payment of rent, please list the months of the unpaid rent. When filing for an auto accident, please give year and make of vehicle and the date, time and location of the accident. Two estimates are required at time of filing and you must file for the amount of the lower estimate. All details of a claim may be stated in court at the time of the trial.
- The date your claim arose.
- You may ask for return of property if it is worth $7,500 or less. It is important to clearly describe the property you want (i.e. color, year made, serial no., etc.).
Sign the claim in front of a Notary Public or come to the conciliation court to sign the claim before a clerk. (Your signature must be notarized if the claim is signed outside of the court administrator's office). Return the entire completed form with the correct filing fee. Make checks payable to "Court Administrator". Do NOT sent attachments except for the following: 2 estimates on vehicle accident claims, bad checks, and promissory notes.
Bring any other evidence with you to court. You will be notified by mail of the date for your hearing, at which time you will be required to appear to present your claim to the court.
If your claim is $2,500 or less, the court administrator will serve defendant by first class mail and will mail notice to you and the defendant of the date when your claim is to be heard. If the claim is more than this, you must serve defendant by certified mail or personal service, and proof of service must be provided to the conciliation court.
Many claims are settled once notice is received. The party making the claim should notify the court, in writing, of a settlement right away. Settlements are desirable for many reasons: it's a compromise you agreed to as opposed to a decision imposed by a judge; it's final. It avoids future expense and inconvenience. You should make every effort to settle your claim.
If you have a conflict with the court date, send a written note to the conciliation court and to the other party right away. The note should give the reason you can't be at the hearing, and it should be received 5 working days before the hearing. You may only ask to change your court date once, and you may have to pay up to $50.
This means that you are being sued; you are the defendant in the case. If you deny the claim you must appear at trial. If you ignore the summons, a default judgment may be entered ordering you to pay the amount plaintiff is requesting.
If you feel the plaintiff owes you money you may file a counterclaim. You must file your counterclaim at least 5 days before the date set for a hearing (Saturday, Sunday, and holidays not included). You will have to pay a filing fee. The conciliation court will notify plaintiff if a counterclaim is filed.
If the counterclaim exceeds the legal limit, you may waive the amount in excess of the limit, or file an affidavit stating (1) the existence of the counterclaim and that it exceeds the legal limits, and (2) that you have brought or will bring a claim in district court against plaintiff within 30 days. If you do not bring the claim within 30 days, plaintiff may have his or her claim reinstated.
Conciliation court hearings are informal, but you must be prepared to present your case. Attorneys are allowed but may participate only as much as the court allows. The witnesses should be present and ready to testify. All parties and witnesses who appear will testify under oath. If witnesses are reluctant to appear, you may use a subpoena to require them to appear. A subpoena is available from conciliation court for a fee. Written statements and affidavits of persons not present in court may have little value.
You should bring all other evidence, such as receipts, repair bills, estimates, and other items which relate to the dispute to court. You can also subpoena documents which relate to the dispute which another person has but is not willing to give to you.
You should prepare a list of facts you wish to present before you go to court. Organize your presentation to make it clear and complete. Be brief and to the point.
If the defendant does not appear after filing a counterclaim, a default judgment may be entered. If plaintiff does not appear, the claim may be dismissed or a default judgment may be entered in favor of the defendant on any counterclaim.
Normally, the court will not decide your claim at the time of the hearing. When a decision is reached, you will receive a Notice of Judgment by mail. This becomes final on the date shown on the notice. Read all notices and instructions carefully.
You have the right to appeal a decision. Information regarding appeals is on the back of the judgment form.

SEATTLE, Oct. 6, 2005 -- The Seattle Neuroscience Institute (SNI) at Swedish Medical Center is preparing to enter its next phase of growth with the addition of new leading-edge facilities and three new, prominent neurosurgeons. Ground breaking on the new $30 million facilities, which will initially include four state-of-the-art operating rooms some with neuro-interventional radiology capabilities, will begin by year's end. Launched last fall, the SNI has set a charter to serve as the preeminent neuroscience provider in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Today's announcements advance that effort.
The SNI is currently comprised of 10 leading neurosurgeons, 23 regionally recognized neurologists and more than 30 other neuro specialists utilizing the most advanced technologies and the soon-to-be-realized benefits of a newly designed facility. The Institute is headed by two of the nation's top neurosurgeons, Marc R. Mayberg, M.D., formerly chairman of Neurosurgery at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, and David W. Newell, M.D., formerly chief of Neurosurgery at Harborview Medical Center and the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle. The two have assembled a team of renowned neurosurgeons and neurologists comprised of leading specialists already on staff at Swedish Medical Center and neurosurgeons they have recruited from other centers. The SNI has added Greg D. Foltz, M.D., from the University of Iowa College of Medicine. In addition, Peter C. Nora, M.D., and John K. Hsiang, M.D., Ph.D., have both recently joined SNI from Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle.
Dr. Foltz brings a strong research focus to SNI, where he is seeking advances in the treatment and care of malignant brain tumors and complex disorders of the craniocervical junction. He also maintains an active nonprofit educational organization for young neurosurgeons from developing countries. Dr. Foltz will be collaborating in the laboratory with Dr. Leroy Hood of the Institute for Systems Biology, investigating the genomic and proteomic aspects of human brain tumors.
Dr. Nora specializes in the surgical treatment of movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease and essential tremor, using deep brain stimulation (DBS). He has the largest DBS practice in the region. At SNI, Dr. Nora will oversee a comprehensive movement disorders program as well as an active DBS research program seeking advances for essential tremor, Parkinson's disease and dystonia.
Dr Hsiang specializes in the surgical treatment of complex spinal disorders and is the principal investigator of a large clinical trial for artificial cervical disc implants. At SNI, Dr. Hsiang will work closely with other neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons at Swedish to further develop the spine program.
Leading neurosurgeons already on staff at SNI include Jacob Young, M.D., Jaysashree Srinivasan, M.D., James Raisis, M.D., Ryder Gwinn, M.D., and Timothy Steege, M.D.
"The expansion of facilities, addition of new clinical programs, and the recruitment of world-class specialists highlights Swedish Medical Center's commitment to the advancement of neuroscience and the care for those suffering from neurological disorders," said Dr. Mayberg, co-executive director of SNI. "With an aging population, the prevalence of neurological disorders in the United States continues to rise. By creating an institute dedicated solely to the treatment and advancement of knowledge in this field, we will help people throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond who otherwise may not have access to this level of care."
"Many hospitals provide neurological care but none have consolidated services, expertise and leading-edge technology at the level of the Seattle Neuroscience Institute," continued Dr. Mayberg.
Dr. Newell, co-executive director and medical director of SNI, added, "We have gained tremendous benefits by establishing SNI in the Northwest. We have an excellent team of Swedish-affiliated neurosurgeons and neurologists already on staff, and we have access to Seattle's growing bio-tech, software and engineering industries. SNI is a confluence of world-class offerings, and we couldn't be more optimistic and excited about its potential."
While Swedish will not break ground on the new facilities for a few more weeks, SNI surgeons and neurologists continue their life-saving work treating patients.
The core hub of SNI will be located at Swedish Medical Center/Providence Campus on 17th and Jefferson in the Squire Park neighborhood, which is located just east of downtown Seattle. Once complete, the new roughly 47,000-square-foot facility will be an addition to the Swedish/Providence Campus and include four state-of-the-art operating rooms some with neuro-interventional radiology capabilities, and a renovated neuro intensive care unit. The operating rooms (ORs) will be equipped with intra-operative MRI and CT, advanced neurophysiologic monitoring, and communication systems to enable electronic exchange from the ORs to teaching sites on campus and around the world. Development is expected to be complete by the end of 2006.
In 2004, Swedish Medical Center expanded its neuroscience services by establishing the Seattle Neuroscience Institute at Swedish Medical Center. The team of leading neurosurgeons and other specialists are building a world-class institute dedicated solely to the treatment and advancement of neurological disorders for patients in the Pacific Northwest and around the world. Formerly known as the Swedish Neuroscience Institute, the name was changed to reflect the program's broader scope and reach. The Swedish Medical Center/Providence Campus has been designated as the hub for the Institute and is being upgraded with four state-of-the-art operating rooms some with neuro-interventional radiology capabilities, and a renovated neuro intensive-care unit. Although the Institute is based at Swedish/Providence, neuroscience research and treatment continues to be a multi-campus program. SNI specializes in the research for and treatment of stroke, movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, tremors and Tourette's syndrome; epilepsy; child neurological disorders; neuro-ophthalmology; headaches; multiple sclerosis and many other neurological conditions and diseases.
Swedish Medical Center is the largest, most comprehensive, nonprofit health provider in the Pacific Northwest. It is comprised of three hospital campuses (First Hill, Providence and Ballard), a new community-based emergency room and specialty center in Issaquah, Swedish Home Care Services and Swedish Physicians -- a network of 12 primary-care clinics. In addition to general medical and surgical care, Swedish is known as a regional referral center, providing specialized treatment in areas such as cardiac care, oncology, orthopedics, high-risk obstetrics, neurological care, sleep medicine, pediatrics, organ transplantation and clinical research.

They don't always update their status's up to date. I had something show up and the day after I got tracking information.
Thread: Fragrancenet
I recently ordered a bottle of Midnight in Paris EDP and it took 2 weeks to go from NY to FL which normally takes less than 5 days. They go through a secondary shipper called streamlite which then transfers the package over to the USPS. From my experience streamlite is much much slower than Fed Smartpost. If it took me two weeks it'll take you a month.
They don't always update their status's up to date. I had something show up and the day after I got tracking information.
I just ordered MI from them last week, it took them a week to ship it to NYC even though their located in NY. Like silentrich stated they use something called streamlite, which lowers their shipping expenses that's why it takes so long.
Any Knowledge Is Good Knowledge For Me.......
Should be a fresh one, I'd guess 2011 since they run out and have restocked it. So it's definitely nothing that has been sitting around too long.
Personally never had a Fragrancenet order stay in the warehouse that long. Might want to give them a call and see what they say about it.
The first 2 times I ordered from them it took 3 weeks to get to me. When I ordered my L'Artisan it only took 4 days. They are usually slow.

If you use Firefox they have a thing you can download and it shows how many are trying to track you each site and then wipes them from following when leave the site.
Basenotes is showing a green 5 at the moment. LOL
Currently waiting on an order too, but have previously experienced them being slow to update the status. Actual delivery time wasn't too bad though.
I've used them once and won't be doing so again. It took almost three weeks for them to get my order to me. UK orders supposedly ship from a UK warehouse and there is no excuse for waiting this long for an order, especially with the extortionate delivery charge.
It normally takes 7-8 days to get my package from them
Its says DNT when I click the little balloon. It was from a UK newspaper I got the info, when Facebook was starting their tracking. So I went to the Firefox home page and found it.
Something very similar happened to me and I found it so annoying that I stopped ordering from them after a few times. They'd process my order (meaning they'd charge my card) and then bombard me with emails for a week or so saying they were "locating my fragrance" and that it was "in the warehouse". You know something, the only thing I want to hear after you take my money is that my purchase is on its way pronto.
Never had a problem with delivery from FragranceNet, either directly from them or via Amazon.com... Maybe the status is not updated, as what starshipverlcro posted.
The best way to order from Fragrancenet is via Ebay. They don't do this on Ebay orders because of the feedback system. Also always pay with PayPal and if the order isn't received in the allotted time then file a complaint with PayPal. If they can't prove that the item is shipped or can't locate then they'll give you a refund and you don't have to ship the product back to them. If you can't run a business the right way then you suffer the consequences of running a crappy one.
What these shippers are doing is taking advantage of a loophole they discovered in the postal codes, which allows them to transfer goods in bulk to large cities, and then, for an inordinately small fee, hands those goods over to the US Post Office who is then forced to do the sh*t work of the individual delivery.
This saves the delivery company huge amounts of money when it comes to the actual delivery of small packages, and amounts to a big public subsidy of the delivery companies.
TPC often ships parcels this way, which is why they say they ship via UPS....but then the mailman ends up delivering it to your mailbox instead.
For sale. Carnal Flower and Vero Profumo Onda.
I'm going to have to look into this tracking thing.
After putting in my order on Sat, I've been getting duplicated spam e-mails from them, repeated at least three times a day.
Granted this is the sort of thing one comes to expect these days, but still it's a PITA.
Fragrancenet experienced chaos and mayhem in the last week or so because of their massive L'Artisan sale. That may have something to do with the delay. I order from them a lot and never had a problem. I appreciate that they send notifications prior to shipping, but some orders do take longer than others. I'm currently waiting on a bottle of MH Fleurs de Sel, and hoping it arrived today.
Saturday I made my order and I today I got an email from them confrming that my order has alreday been shipped! that´s fast! I´ve Order 3.4 oz Timbuktu and 3.4 os Annick Goutal Vetiver...
Today I got an email: Order shipped!
I orders on saturday so this is quite fast!
My order was: Timbuktu 3.4 oz, Annick Goutal Vetiver 3.4 oz. and Coty´s Muguet de Bois...
Will report back as soon as they arrive to Argentina!
But it did come early this morning, the first working day of the week, so I'm allowing myself to be encouraged.
It's the horror of the EverCookie.
I just got an email too. Voleur de Roses 3.4 oz and Patchouli Patch 1.7 oz both shipped.
I did pay extra to get the two-day shipping, so that may have something to do with the speed of it, but I'm really stoked about this. I've been wanting Voleur de Roses for the longest time and I missed out on it the first round, but when they got more L'Artisans in stock, I was able to snag one. Patchouli Patch is another one that I've always liked, so I was surprised to be able to get one of those as well.
Thanks for the heads-up guys!
go here, which is the Mozilla extension site. Find Do Not Track Plus (DNT, as donna255 mentioned, and it is made by Abine, the company I earlier suggested). Once installed, it will run in the background on its own, and all you really see is a small icon on your browser showing how many tracking attempts are originating from the site you are visiting. You can tweak it if you want, but just letting it run as is will will block the vast majority of tracking attempts. For a bit of a shock, you can check it periodically to see how many tracking attempts have been blocked since it's been installed; my last count was well over 80,000. Wheee!
For an extra layer of privacy, also install Better Privacy from the Add-ons site. It also runs in the background, and blocks and deletes Flash cookies, which can be a more robust form of tracking cookie.
Hope that helps!
In warehouse. Lets hope they dont cancel any of my items (timbuktu, voleur de roses and patchouli patch)
This company suck big time. Only one reason I used them, they shipped from the US via Belgium so it looked like it came directly from Belgium, which means I paid ZERO tax and ZERO customs.
Now they have had the same error on their website for 6 months time - you can't choose Denmark as shipping country, it then says 'not enough information' and shipping is free of charge, that is until the system realizes this and says the order can not be processed.......
Their customer service is NON existing - literally !!
Sucky sucky company 1/10 rating from me

Bingo. I got my "shipped" notice 1/2 hour ago. (Timbucktu, Navegar, Premiere Figuer)
Shipped by FexEx, and transferred to USPS for final delivery.
Somebody is on the job there today.
When did you order, birdboy? I ordered when the offer first struck - but no god damn Timbuktu for me. HRMF!
I actually ate my words, stepped back into the game, and re-ordered a bottle of Timbuktu on Friday. I just got a shipping confirmation number email; fingers crossed!
Just received my shipping notice for Voleur de Roses - shipped via Fedex - but most likely delivered by USPS.

Still some Voleur de Roses left, and I decided to pull the trigger. Also threw in Premier Figuier as fig is a personal favorite and it was the only other one left.
Just like you all, crossing my fingers!

I still haven't got my credit back, but seeing as everybody's getting shipped the items that were arbitrarily denied to me one week ago, all I have got to say is: &@#%!
Now, more than ever, I am cursing fragrancenet and sticking needles in their voodoo doll.

My sympathies to those who are still getting the run-around.
arggh ...............................ANNOYED............ .... they cancelled 13 bottles of my shipment...i only got 5 sent to me. BOO...they said because it was over $500 they had to put mine on hold to verify funds and CC scams. I wish i had know that I would have done 2 smaller shipments....and the 2 i REALLY REALLY wanted were of course cancelled.
Oh man that hurts!
I ordered Mûre et Musc Cologne and M7... got a shipping confirmation.

According to my shipping notice, all three of the things I ordered are on the road, and somewhere in the Midwest now.
Yeah, it was like they sold out of everything, and then a few more things dribbled back onto their list in the next day or so.Still some Voleur de Roses left, and I decided to pull the trigger. Also threw in Premier Figuier as fig is a personal favorite and it was the only other one left.
Who would have thought ? But yes, not the sort of deal that was going to stick around while they were fussing around verifying your funds. Bummer for sure....they cancelled 13 bottles of my shipment...i only got 5 sent to me. BOO...they said because it was over $500 they had to put mine on hold...
A good reason to be angry, I would say. I hope you've let them know how you feel.I still haven't got my credit back, but seeing as everybody's getting shipped the items that were arbitrarily denied to me one week ago, all I have got to say is: &@#%!
Please let us know if more stuff comes in stock. I really want to try navigateur
Just got my 1.7 oz Patchouli Patch and 3.4 oz Voleur de Roses. Both are unboxed but were unsprayed. Also, both are the old style bottles. I'm so glad to finally have Voleur de Roses-- it's been eluding my wardrobe for 7 years now and I finally have it.
Patchouli Patch is one that I always had a minor interest in. It's good, yet simple. Also, I didn't think I liked the old design of the 1.7 oz bottles, but they're so much nicer than in the pictures.
I also got Serge Lutens Cuir Mauresque today from eBay, so my arms are totally covered. I need a bath to wash everything off and start over with just ONE of these scents tonight!
Got an email stating that the Jatamansi I ordered was out of stock.
Really displeased with Fragrancenet right now, and that's an understatement.

This together with a whole raft of other issues concerning fragrancenet is making me extremely sceptic to order anything from them. Too bad, their website and layout is great - but their customer service and way of conducting business is just plain bad.
My bottle of 3.4 Oz Timbuktu (without box) just arrived. I expected much longer delivery time than 7 work days. Bottle itself is without box, old design and unused (I had to spray 3x before juice came out). They also gave me 2 free samples. So far I am happy with my buy and Timbuktu will be my staple during summer days with Acqua Di Gio.

It's been my experience that if you order an expensive fragrance from FN, they send it via FedEx with a signature requirement. In my case, FedEx would only deliver during my work hours on the week days and after three attempts their policy is to return to sender.
My work hours exceed when FedEx delivers with signature required option so the only way I could retrieve my fragrance was to have them hold the package at their distribution center (22 miles away) and pick it up during a rushed lunch break.
Signature required can be a real pain, but then I guess so is losing a package left on the porch. It's just something to keep in mind when ordering.

After being out of stock of Timbuktu which I ordered on May 4 and got info that it was out of stock on May 8. I then ordered Bleecker St on May 10.
I received my Bleecker St yesterday. The damn postal worker did 2 knocks at my door I got to the door in 3 seconds and damn if he hadn't already dropped the package and got in his damn truck. I was pissed.
So for reasons like this delivery confirmation would be very helpful especially when living in an apt complex. If I had my own house with a porch I would be fine.
Fragrancenet did explain to me that if an order is placed via phone that delivery confirmation can be requested. I will probably do this from now on.
Also to people having issues with fragrancenet refunding their money. I received mine the same day I got confirmation that my product was out of stock. In my situation they acted swiftly. So hopefully you guys will get your money very soon.
Fragrancenet are doing themselves no favours with this sale...if you sign up for notification when their stock is available, you get spam mail, if you manage to order they cancel or part fulfill orders without informing you of what exactly you are getting , when they cancel you are left waiting for a refund. What a shambles.

It looks to me like I'm going to receive my items with no hassle, so you gotta wonder what I did that was any different from what anyone else did ? Maybe it's simply dumb luck, but there could be some differences.
As far as delivery, signatures, etc is concerned, these problems may revolve around their decision to use FedEx ( and have FedEx do the actual delivery) or them deciding to do the version of FedEx where FedEx passes the package off to the Postal Service for final delivery.
I'm out of town now, and simply put a hold on my mail. When I get home I should be able to just go down to my local post office and pick the thing up.
In consideration of the various possible problems, as was mentioned above, on large orders, probably the best procedure would be to make an order over the phone and confirm the details, rather than simply letting their computers wing it.
Not sure if their folks can actually confirm if something is still in stock at that exact moment or not, but perhaps they can ?
I called one day just to ask them if they had a particular fragrance because it had on stock on the website the lady told me they did have it in stock. Not sure what he process was to check but she said it was in stock.
I know scented monkey is able to do it with no problem.
I'm beyond thrilled to have gotten a big bottle of this for basically peanuts. It really is one of the best patchouli/masculine rose scents ever made. Very raw and earthy but refined.
Don't forget ebates is doing 13% cashback for fragrancenet! That's 33% off after coupon!
