I received mine as a gift, from my mother in law. I was surprised at the power, the ease of use! And the ability to shut off the fuel flow, when not in use! I set the choke, I pull the recoil and boom, it starts! I wipe it off when I am done, I clean the undercarriage. This year, It is an oil change and sparkplug and new air filter! All required to keep it running properly. I love the side discharge, for my first mowing of the year. Plus, I like the rear bagger which I will use the rest of the year! And the self-propelled unit, pulls me along I am a fast walker, but this unit drags even me when I mow! Great excersized in mowing! Instead of mowing my yard and taking my time, this Craftsman/Honda mower make mowing a breeze taking only 20 minutes!

A very good mower for the money. Used it for one season so far and it work great with no hesitation. Have already changed out the blade and ready to sharpen the original. Will be changing the oil, spark plug, and air filter soon for the second season.

Does the trick. No problems, started right up.

It is still going fine and works as designed. The front drive is great for relatively flat lawns, but on hills I'd prefer rear wheel drive.

I've used this mower for a couple of season now. No issues at all.

Decent mower, although the first one I brought home was defective (bent wheel adjustment mechanism). Sears took it back obviously, but it was a pain to discover it only after getting home, assembling and putting in gas and oil...
Galveston, TX
via sears.com
I like this mower to much I mowed my neighbors' yards and it all was done in a much shorter time. The mower is easy to handle and starts on the first pull even if the engine is hot. This is much better than a lawn service.

I had gotten use to my Briggs & Stratton engine that I didn't want to let it go. My co-worker loves his Honda mower. After buying Carbs, wheels and lots repairs, I decided to break down and see what the Honda was all about. WooooHoooo. Self propelled, one pull front drive. I love it. My 16 year old loves it even more. Talk to me in about a year and I probably will sound just like this.
Olathe, KS
I have owned now for five years in Kansas. Our mower has had zero issues with heavy use. Bag works great, starts on first pull every time, it has plenty of power for both wet grass and thick fescue, and it does great on hills and inclines. Also its easy to mow with. Another great Craftsman mower and Honda engine.

On February 28 the worldwide "Hellish Rock Part II" tour finally kicks off – and naturally not only the guys on stage will be going full force, but your power and creativity will be needed as well to make every single show an unforgettable "Helloween-Party from Hell". After the Dr. Stein lookalikes made the stages quake on the "7 Sinners" tour, it's now time to rock the whole venues. Dress as Dr. Stein, Keeper, Mrs. God, in the style of the new pumpkin soldiers, or as whatever else you can come up with thinking about Helloween, and celebrate the loudest carnival of your life. Of course, the wildest disguises will be rewarded once again: The best outfits will receive a small gift at the merchandise stand, and the winners will also gain an eternal spot in the legendary "Hall of Hell" on Helloween's homepage. So, go through your wardrobe and ransack the next costume shop – coming up next: Hellish Helloween Live on Tour!
After "Straight Out Of Hell" made band history with their entry at #4 in Germany, the album rocks the charts worldwide as well: Helloween's fourteenth studio album is huge success internationally. In Japan, the new album went to #2 in the international album charts, and just like in Germany, it scores the highest entry ever in Sweden with #6. More rankings in the best 10 are announced from Finland (#4), Czech Republic (#4) and Hungary (#10) – making it six Top 10 entries worldwide.

Comments about Kool-Stop Tectonic:
A great pad that helped to fix the vibrations from my cross fork. Good bite and modulation with power when you need it. Made it through an entire season of muddy NW cyclocross on a set of pads with pad to spare. You wont be disapointed.
Comments about Kool-Stop Tectonic:
This is the only brake pad I have found that stopped front brake squeal on my Surly tourer with steel frame and fork. Tried Tektro and Shimano cantilever systems with various pads and careful toe-in setup. I even refit with Avid linear pull brakes. Then I tried these pads. The multi-compound pad grabs strongly when dry, slightly reduced wet braking.

Top notes include gardenia, neroli, and ylang-ylang. At its heart the notes of iris, orange blossom, jasmine, tuberouse and Bulgarin rose make a perfect floral bouquet. The base is made of cedar, patchouli, vanilla, musk and amber. It was created by Daniela Roche-Andrier and Christian Biecher in 2003.

Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. ..Carl Sagan
I'm going with Berdoues Violettes de Toulouse today, and taking Mom out on a mother-daughter "date"-- visiting the local Senior Center to see if they have anything she might like to sign up for, then shopping and lunch.
We're planning to do something together each Tuesday. I also go over briefly each evening to be sure she took her meds. She really needs this; she hasn't really integrated into the community life at her new residence. Being widowed and having to move to a different state at 81 is hard, very hard.
Good Day Everyone. My SOTD is Elizabeth Ardens 'RED DOOR' I always get tons of compliments when I wear this. I try to use a light hand with this scent or it can be a little overwhelming LOL!!
I feel ya, 30 Roses. Right now my mind is on my 95-year-old uncle who entered hospice after the Packer game Sunday. He opted out of treatment, but insisted he not leave ICU until after the game. He's not your typical 95yo -- tough lot this strain of Bohemians. Even after his heart stops, I bet he'll still be chewing the biggest meal ordered from the kitchen on that fateful day. The French call it joie de vivre -- I guess the Germans call it lebensfreude.

SotE - L'Heure Bleue
Shalimar Extrait by Guerlain.
I'm reprising yesterday afternoon and going layering-mad today with a "base" of Sycomore and Platinum Egoiste, a little aged Indonesian patchouli oil and a spritz of Bulgari Black on top... just went with my instincts this morning, as my officemate is out for the day I figured I could go nuts! (it's nice, all the interplay between the dry PE, smoke of the Sycomore, leather and tea and a teensy vanilla sweet note of the BB and the earthy combo of the vetiver in Sycomore with patch.)
Perfect for a slightly rainy, cool-ish fall day! I think the combo comes off smelling like a pile of aromatic golden/brown/green leaves.

A very friendly SA at Dillard's spritzed me all over with EL's Sensuous today. I usually resist being scented by strangers, but I must admit I really like this fragrance.

Since I'm in a mood where a lot of perfume isn't just QUITE enough... I'm wearing the powerful Knowing this afternoon. Much to my chagrin, a fellow coming out of the elevator at lunchtime OUTDID me... he was wearing a very aldehydic feminine 'fume as far as I could tell, but I didn't recognize it... and he walked out of the elevator in a cloud of white and pink floral that made my aldehyde-sensitive nose twitch. Quite fabulous and flamboyant he was, and workin' the scent. Loved it even though I didn't ask what it was.

I'm now wearing some Egyptian Musk oil from Kuumba Made from a little roller bottle I bought at Whole Foods today. At least, I think I am. I can't smell it. Looks like this may be another musk I'm anosmic to. The tester bottle with the little dab wand smalled good. This roller bottle smells like...I don't know, sort of like dried twigs & dirt.

My cousin's DIL just broadcast this email update.
Well, I have to say that Satch is one unbelievably tough cookie!! When I arrived this morning, he was sitting up in bed visiting with son Paul. He looked well rested and relaxed. Breakfast came shortly after I arrived and he had quite the appetite. He ate all his cream of wheat, an english muffin with grape jelly, half of a huge poppyseed danish, chocolate milk and another bowl of strawberries that Paul brought from Satch's freezer. He made me save his glass of grape juice for later when I took his tray away. He is very happy with the food and told me today that if he does end up going home he is going to find someone to cook for him. ... As of this morning his vital signs were normal ... Once again he told me he is ready to die and hoped it would not be to much longer. Please know that he seems very content and comfortable. I will have breakfast with him again tomorrow and send another update tomorrow evening.I guess I'll stop worrying about Uncle Satch! Time to spray on something happy: Mira Bai!

Many of you know that I come in contact with older folks on a daily basis. We have that 98 y.o. lady who had lost her husband and four of her five children already, today she comes out about 1:30 pm with a question " Have I had lunch?" Yes you did, we say, but if you are hungry we can get you something else. She says: "Yes, I would like something flavorful". Like what? "What have you got?" After ennumeration and contemplation, she says a cream cheese Danish and a glass of grape juice sound good to her. And then when a person brings it to her, she asks: "Are you a salesman of sorts and trying to sell me all these?"

Infini is such a beauty, but something about my day has made it seem a bit heavier and slightly sharper than yesterday's wearing. Seems impossible that a Caron could be "sharp", doesn't it? Anyhow, I still enjoy this one...it's maybe one of the best "blind buys" that I have made recently...
Wearing Coriolan today. It is soft, but it is still going. Very restrained fragrance.
I like it but I find it a tad boring. I went to visit my other office and found a mini Shalimar EdT in one of the drawers. I dabbed some.

For me, I have yet to envision the finality of my fragrance collecting hobby. Still waiting for the "sign"
So ive been a BN member since the beginning of the year. Before joining this site, I have owned no more than 5 bottles and would always replace those bottles once they ran out
Cool Water
Have you been in my shoes?
I now have a small collection of roughly 30 bottles all but 2 of them being niche. Lately, ive been ordering niche, vintage and rare samples only to find that I prefer these scents much more than what the mainstream market offers. There are bottles in my collection that I simply do not touch. I like the smell of these bottles but dont "love" them. Im contemplating consolidating my collection down to a dozen bottles I LOVE rather than have a bunch that are just good before this bottle collecting gets out of hand. I dont consider myself a collector but I like to keep/wear what I love. My question to you fragrance whores is this this.
If your thoughts are similar to mine, have you regretted getting rid of bottles you just "like" rather than love? I think this is a progressive move in the hobby. I would be replacing 25+ bottles with just a handful. What would your move be?
For me, I have yet to envision the finality of my fragrance collecting hobby. Still waiting for the "sign"
I don't think it ever ends. Its more of an ebb and flow sort of thing. There are times when I am more interested than others, but don't foresee losing interest all together.
It ends when the curiousity and passion for life ends. In other words we are all in it till the grave. Nobody gets out alive ....or at least smells good trying ..
It doesnt.
You may find, that you are a "user" rather than collector but the bug alway bites again - eventually. The ebb flow metaphor is great, it may also be used on the size of collection instead of sheer interest IMO.
For me, the fear of regret due to selling a frag is too great a risk.
Few people get sober for good
Smellin good
I think people find a couple different routs to take in this hobby.
One is collecting bottles - some collectors place value on owning bottles of anything and everything. Folks on this end of the spectrum tend to have lots of bottles, and rarely sell or trade them.
Another route I see is just smelling everything possible, with little regard to the collecting of things. Folks on this end of the spectrum find as much joy in a 1oz sample as a full bottle. They rarely keep many bottles around for long, trade often, get bored with fragrances quickly, and have a small collection of their top 10 fragrances, which changes daily.
I would see these as two ends of at least one continuum, with many variants of each type, and most of us falling somewhere toward the center.
I tend to be less a collector and more toward the sampler end of the spectrum. I try everything, but purchase rarely. I get bored quickly. My wardrobe on Basenotes is at least 3 years out of date.
For me it's not at all about owning something. If I don't wear it for a while I keep a bit and ship the rest.
I love that folks post their beautiful pictures of their collections, but that is not my interest in the hobby.
Just a few thoughts...
Haikus are easy
But do not always make sense
My swaps and sales are now listed here:
And here (just search for Slim):
One possible ending is bankruptcy. I spent way too much on niche in the winter and I'm paying for it financially now. I won't really go broke or anything like that, but I could have used a lot of the money I spent. Fragrance is a great interest, but it's really important, if you're not filthy rich that is, to know when to scale back.

I get bored quickly and try to sniff as many different fragrances as possible. I don't display bottles and try downsize my collection and get more samples instead. However, when I fall in love with something I always think it's forever and I want to own a lifetime supply. All those discontinuations and reformulations make me anxious and often drive me into another bottle purchase.
I will probably buy around 20 all together and that's a fine border for me, because I am still gonna be able to wear them all not just to have them sitting on the shelf. Right now I have list of maybe 10 fragrances that I want but I will probably buy only half from that list which will bring me close to that number of 20 colognes.
If i get tired of certain fragrances I'll swap it and make place for new one.
Anyway that's my plan.
Right now I think that I have all the fragrances that I want.
Seriously, it comes to and end when you realise that is just perfume and it is not worth making such a fuzz about it. Enjoy your current wardrobe, sell or swap those you don't like and work towards a reasonable amount of bottles and samples. Just my two cents..
Great points everyone. I guess getting bored of a frag could mean outgrowing it.
I'm not a 'collector'. Personally, I found that after acquiring around 32-35 bottles, I had reached a critical mass, and don't feel the need to own any more than this. I'm still interested, still want to smell things, but spend a lot less money on it now, and don't want to own much more than 35 bottles. If I come upon something new that I just have to own, I'll probably use it to replace my least favorite existing bottle, so I remain with the same overall quantity. Works for me.
it ends with you finally giving in for a xerjoff and with lot lesser money.

In my case, I spend more on samples than full bottles because what I'm pursuing it's to find another fragrance I really love or at least widening my knowledge. 25 bottles a year it's probably too much, but if you have the money, why not...
Also, it would help if you find another hobby (or two) that you really love, and spend half the time/money between them.
I stay away from perfumes once in a while to avoid obsessing too much.

I began to do more swapping than buying when it was around the 2 year mark, and that's still the case today, unless I come across something I think is too good to pass up (usually at least twice a month). I'm backlogged on my samples and don't actively crave any particular frag that I don't presently possess at least a decant of. I guess my main complaint is how expensive shipping has become. It used to be 2 pounds for $2.90 but now that usually costs nearly $8, and that was only a few years ago !

I think I've hit an "ebb" point after a spate of buying the last couple months. I wonder how long these ebbs last...
For non-collectors, I like the idea of setting a bottle limit and then only buying new bottles if you sell/swap your least favorite. Seems like a good way to contain the obsession/hobby/beast while also continuously improving your wardrobe.
Nothing wrong with paring down, or trying to have a simpler lifestyle. Just don't get rid of something you may end up purchasing again because you miss it.
I treat my collection worse than a slave master. Every application is a performance test. If they fail to please me or a significant other, they may be dispatched.
I've had the same question recently. When I first visited this site just over a year ago I only had one "cologne" that I pretty much never wore (Ralph Lauren Romance). I have since bought about 30 different frags including several niche ones. I already hit critical mass a while ago and gave a bunch of them away before I started buying more. I'm once again considering gifting or selling many frags that I like, but don't love and therefore won't wear frequently if ever.
Good question. Guess what? I'm a 17 year old rich boy who gets everything from his parents. I just realized if I got kicked out of the house, I wouldn't have jack squat. It's all about opportunity cost when i'm out there, no more expensive ass air jordans or niche perfumes.
Every hobby has it's setbacks, but I need to learn to fend for myself and not just coast off my parents my entire life. (Sort of off-topic, but is kinda related.)
Hobbies don't end! They progress. And it seems there is sort of a trend on how members' generally progress over time. Personally I have only been buying fragrances for about a year and my wardrobe is pretty pathetic compared to those of other members. Over the last year I have sampled just about every designer fragrance available locally and quite a few niche fragrances. Although I still enjoy every fragrance I have purchased, I am finding that I need more "dark" scents so my journey is far from complete. Sad for me that I find most designer scents to lack uniqueness and/or longevity. I am seeking deeper darker scents that last at least 8 hours and more than that is better. I find most edts to be too weak and I tend to like edps (or better) better and niche fragrances in general to be a lot more interesting. Currently I have a short list of three fragrances that are "must haves", two I have sampled and one will be a blind buy based on reviews. The journey continues...

I used to buy about 3-10 bottles a month since I joined basenotes, I have about 70 bottles now and dozens of decants and samples. But that rate slowed a lot in the last few months. In fact, I have not purchased anything in the past 2 or 3 months. I simply came to the realization that I can't just buy every bottle I like, or even love. It must have a place in my collection; it must fill a spot that has not been filled yet. There has to be an occasion where I say, "oh I wish I had that type of fragrance to wear today". Only in that case would I add a new bottle...or if I absolutely adore the fragrance and think it's hard for me to get another chance to buy it.
I test and sample far, far more than I own. Having a small staple of frags which I enjoy a lot and wear frequently is my MO in this hobby.
To answer your ? I have been fortunate enough to be a researcher by nature, so TBH, I have not bought too many full bottles I only liked. Those few bottles that I bought initially and only 'liked' have long been given away, without regret. In your case, you could keep a small amount, say 10ml or so of the frags you only like, and part with the rest, that way if you do get the urge later on, you still have some to use, and are able to make space for something you'll love.
I bought up a lot early- first year or so. But in past six months, I've switched to a lot more decants. If I love something, I'll buy a bottle.
Just a suggestion, but when something really piques your interest, try a 5 or 8ml decant. You can wear it a few times, and and find out if you really love it.
At a certain point I realized my collection will outlive me.
After 4 years and 70+ bottles I now use rather than collect.
When I come across something new I analyse less, and try to feel more.
Most of my collection is still niche, but I no longer carry a "niche only" attitude.
Conscience is what hurts when everything else feels so good.
This. I have upwards of 60+ bottles now in my collection and almost all were bought in the past year. It's a lot of money to shell out for a hobby, and after a while you start to realize it's not about owning every single bottle just to have it. The more I actually got into the hobby, I started to realize it's about what you LOVE and not what you LIKE. If I got rid of all the bottles I only "liked" I would have much more money to spend on the other facets of my life. I guess it's a life lessonWhen it brings more stress/anxiety/frustration than pleasure, it's time for a hiatus...

I just quickly counted the number of bottles I had and can't believe it is over 60! I have over 100 samples too. In my mind I thought maybe I have about 10-15. How did it get there? Not sure what I should feel.
It ends in absolute poverty and a wardrobe full of frags!!! Kidding, but I advise you to wait at least a year before giving up those you don't touch now. In the beginning, I bought everything commercial, didn't read reviews nor test before (well, I live in Brazil so a lot of good buys have to be blind, especially niche) and end up with several colognes I gave to friends or relatives. The problem is that some of them were good and I hadn't, at that time, nose to understand them and had to buy again later some (L'Instant, Fleur du Male, etc), others were really a waste of time and money. Within a year smelling good frags you will be relatively ready to decide if you really can let them go or not.
In my case, since I got into niches recently, just some months ago, I'm starting to try for samples before, to cross references, but these years buying a lot of scents gave me condition to know, more or less, by reviews, by getting information, if I will like something or not, at the point of blind buy Serge Lutens frags without any regret till now.
I don't think it ever ends. I've been collecting for years. I go through periods where I buy less than at other times, but I pretty much always have a shopping list on the back burner in my mind.
In a world where people smell bad, it is the personal responsibility of every Basenoter to improve the world one SotD at a time...
It doesn't end
There is no beginning for me for there to be an end. Perfume in this culture is like food and breathing. You dont think about it. Its part of the daily cycle.
I've seen it end for many people on BN. They went from 30 to 100 perfumes to about 10 to 15 and thats it.
For me it will never end. I'll may sooner or later decide to stop accumulating fragrances and enjoy the one I already have or, who knows, maybe even reduce my wardrobe to 2-3 bottles. But whatever will happen I will always be (and I've always been) a perfume lover. Perfume is not just part of the grooming procedures to me, it's a style, a statement, self expression, passion.

To me, it doesn't... but I wouldn't advise anyone to replicate my often too passionate and too costly fragrance hobby
Anyone who can focus on certain basics without overspending and still owning great frags, should, in my opinion, concentrate in her/his rotation on 4-5 scents, amongst which one casual, one formal, one gourmand, one vintage/classic/powerhouse, one unsiex etc. (not 2-3, 5-10 etc. of the same category at the same time, as I do)
I really enjoy this hobby, my goal right now is to aquire another 20 or so fragrances which I have a ongoing list of and run a "fragrance idol" of sorts, and cull it down significantly to the ones I love in the hopes of having a few "signature" scents. I love when people associate me with a particular great smelling cologne.
The hunt for a Signature Fragrance is not an easy one! I see the light at the end of the tunnel! Edit: 2015... I've given up and given in
Want to buy or swap: A*men Ultra Zest, Bentley Intense, Mont Blanc Legend Intense, Paco Rabanne Invictus,
If you don't go the collector route, you'll probably end up being very selective over your full bottle purchases & may even end up living off decants like I do. LOL. It's all good!
The Perfume Culture... I like that!
I have very few full bottles with the exception of some frags that cost $30 or less for a fb, like Yatagan, Black Jeans, Declaration, Acteur, and a couple more. Most I bought blind and like enough to keep around. I might get rid of Kouros though, I'll probably never use it... These bottles are a small financial risk, as I can sell them on without loosing more than a sample would have cost me anyway.
With more expensive bottles, I am VERY selective about what gets purchased these days and I haven't bought a fb in months. I have bought some decants and a lot of samples though. If I like a frag a lot from a small sample, then I'll look for a decant. If I still like it after using up a decent sized decant than I would consider a full bottle purchase.
Carpe diem! We're all gonna die! At least we won't stink when we do.
Not so sure about that but I couldn't care less then.
I've had a change in attitude over time. I go through periods of not thinking about fragrance, and not wearing it, but then I return. I sample more and more, and buy a lot less. Blind-buys are non-existent these days, though I won't rule them out ( if I'd been back in Canada, I would have seriously considered that 1000Flowers sale recently ). I've discovered that it's okay to love a fragrance without owning it, especially if it's the type of fragrance you're in the mood for once in a blue moon.
To paraphrase the last bit of of John's Gospel, "Of the seeking of perfumes there is no end!"

I've never been a collector, my frag rotation at the moment is probably two colognes and few I'm fond of but don't really wear. I see perfume as an art, and good perfumeries as museums: you don't really buy a Renoir every week, but that does not mean you don't enjoy the painting.

Dear PradaG,
It doesn't end. Not really. There are slowdowns and diversions, but you always come back, and why shouldn't you return to something that gives you pleasure, insight and renewed curiosity?
I fell hard for perfume collecting as soon as I started to earn my own money. Before that, I'd badger my parents at birthdays and holidays to procure some rare Caron or Nina Ricci fragrance. Recently, I've learned to make quicker judgments on what I'll keep from new purchases. I've given away or (god forbid!) thrown away some things that were duds for me - the space this creates is invigorating.
Think about traditional agricultural methods - there is value in letting a field lie fallow for a season, to regenerate the nutrients in the soil and let it rest. Take a breather once in a while. But don't feel guilty, ever.
Best regards,
I am up to 125 bottles now, Just like you I kept a few in rotation up until a year ago. For me the more I try the more I buy. Currently I am pretty much done with mainstream bottles, started to get boring. Niche is my new project, loving the exotics

I started out, I'm assuming like many buying designer bottles, which was a big step up from the pacsun/mall scents that I had growing up. One day I found the fragrance community and it gave me a whole new appreciate for fragrances. So just recently I started getting into niche and I can't stop...most of them just seem to be on a different level. And while that's true I do like to mix up designer/niche. Even though I can perceive designer to sometimes be less quality that doesn't mean I can't appreciate them. Like Gucci PH2, any Mugler, any Chanel, any Dior, and a decent few YSL frags that will never leave my rotation. But yes, I've grown tired of a few of the more standard scents I seem to find in designer. So as of right now I'm working on the Bonds/Creeds and as my nose progresses so do my tastes...I can't see this ever ending.
I don't believe that this hobby ever ends.....I know that it will not end for me.....Not while I'm living anyway!!!
It ends when you have burned out all of your 5 senses (well unless you have more than that), and feel no need or want for material goods,
and then you would want no part of this materialistic world anymore
This hobby is like going to a fine restaurant and being able to sample and buy all the dishes without ever getting full. There's also an element of freedom to it. Each scent taking you on a different journey.

Softball Swept By Lees-McRae Bats on Sunday Afternoon
March 25, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Lees-McRae College used timely hitting in both games en route to a Conference Carolinas softball sweep of host Pfeiffer University on Sunday afternoon. The Bobcats, who scored a 6-0 win in game one followed by a 1-0 nine-inning victory in game two, move to 12-19 overall, 3-1 in league play while the Lady Falcons fall to 14-21, 4-6.
Lees-McRae started game one scoring a pair of runs in the third beginning with a rare RBI bunt double by Kim Coley (Marion, NC). Holli Crickenberger (Boydton, VA) followed with a routine RBI double to put the Bobcats up two. Karli Robb (Hayes, VA) began a three-run four with a run-scoring single to left before Crickenberger struck again with a two-run double to right-center.
A Pfeiffer throwing error on a pickoff attempt at third led the Bobcats final run. Robb and Crickenberger each finished game one with a pair of Lees-McRaes seven hits while Celia Dew (Sanford, NC) had the only multi-hit game for the Lady Falcons.
Game two came down to the ninth frame after both teams failed to score with the international tiebreaker in effect in the eighth. With Amanda Decker (Apex, NC) at third with one out, Robb would line a single just over the head of Dew at shortstop to score Decker with the eventual game-winner. In the Lady Falcon ninth, Kirsten Patterson (Anthem, AZ) singled to move Dew over to third with one out but a later strikeout and groundout to first would give Lees-McRae the Sunday sweep.
Pfeiffers best chance came back in the initial frame of game two as Melanie Conklin (Wellington, OH) led off with a double to right-center. Bobcats starter Holli Crickenberger (Boydton, VA) would get out of the jam to help herself pick up the win tossing all nine frames striking out 10 while scattering four hits.
Pfeiffer quickly gets back to Conference Carolinas action on Monday hosting King at 2:00 p.m. from Jack Ingram Field.

HAMPTON - Mosquitoes in Hampton might be biting more than usual this summer.
The City says there won't be any aerial spraying because of the sequester. Federal spending cuts have grounded the flights out of Langley Air Force Base for now and they likely won't take off this year.
City officials are working on alternative methods to control the mosquito population.
The city is fogging in neighborhoods to battle some species of mosquitoes, but officials don't think it will be much help killing off the Asian tiger mosquito. It feeds during the day and rests at night, so it's less susceptible to those daytime efforts, said Chris DeHart, entomology team leader for the city.
He says residents can do their part to keep the mosquito population down by applying larvicides to areas with standing water such as roadside ditches, woodland pools, and curb drop inlets. He also said it's important to get rid of standing water around your yard that would be a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
Residents are urged to Customer Call Center at 3-1-1 or 757-727-8311 if they need more information or help. The city's Environmental Services team monitors the mosquito population and can check areas of specific complaints.
&The city doesn't have a regular schedule or route for fogging. We determine where to go based on information gleaned from regular surveillance (trapping and identifying mosquitoes) and calls from citizens to the 3-1-1 Customer Call Center, said City spokesman Fred Gaskins.

The Honda Fit was redesigned for the 2009 model year. The Fit was not produced for the 2014 model year, but the car will be redesigned again for the 2015 model year.
The driver's space was seriously compromised by intruding structure. Lower interior intrusion measured as much as 34 cm at the lower hinge pillar. Upper interior intrusion measured 31 cm at the hinge pillar. The steering column was pushed back 12 cm toward the driver.
Measures from the dummy indicate that injuries to the left hip and left lower leg would be likely in a crash of this severity and injuries to the left knee and right lower leg would be possible. Head acceleration from the instrument panel hit was low.
The dummy's head barely contacted the frontal airbag before sliding off the left side as the steering column moved 14 cm to the right. Additionally, the seat belt allowed excessive forward excursion of the dummy's head and torso, contributing to the head hitting the instrument panel. The side curtain airbag deployed but does not have sufficient forward coverage to protect the head from contact with forward side structure and outside objects. The side torso airbag deployed.
How this test is conducted
Two tests of the Fit were conducted, one by the Institute and the other by Honda as part of frontal crash test verification. Ratings are based on both tests, but vehicle specifications given below are based on the Institute's test.
In each test, measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Dummy movement was well controlled in both tests. The driver side curtain and side torso airbags deployed during the crashes. During rebound, the dummy's head contacted the side curtain airbag, which kept the head away from any stiff structure that could cause injury.
Driver — Measures taken from the dummy indicate that a fracture of the pelvis would be possible in a crash of this severity. The risk of significant injuries to other body regions is low.
Passenger — Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity.
Driver — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof.
Passenger — The dummy's head was protected from being hit by any hard structures, including the intruding barrier, by a side curtain airbag that deployed from the roof.

The price is right. Had it for some time now and it's really durable. Shifts are nice and silent. If only Shimano could offer it with a smaller 11T cog!

Heinrich Brussow has been ruled out for six months with a shoulder injury.
According to SuperSport.com, Brussow injured himself against Griquas last Saturday, and after assessing his injury, the Cheetahs decided to let him have surgery on the shoulder so he can return as early as possible for next year's Super Rugby tournament.
Brussow had already missed the Cheetahs' first four Currie Cup games because of a knee injury.

Trending on Reddit today is this photo of what user mkb95 says is the defeated presidential candidate pumping his own gas at a station in La Jolla, CA -- sans Secret Service protection. "Mitt Romney at my local gas station.. he looks tired and washed up," the tagline reads.
"I talked to him for a good three minutes while he was filling his tank. I guess he's moving to one of his houses in the town I live in, La Jolla," mkb95 added.
While it's pretty striking to see Romney's hair look so disheveled, some commenters pointed out that it might be unfair to judge the former candidate's life post-election based on his appearance at a gas station (We've all been there). "As much as I do not agree with Romney, I think the dude deserves to have a bad hair day after a long and tedious campaign," lickmyschnauzer wrote.
Others noted how odd it must feel to transition from political candidate to private citizen.
"It is pretty amazing that in such a short period of time you can go from missing becoming the leader of one of the most powerful countries in the world by a couple % to pumping your own gas like everyone else," Redditor agwayclerk pointed out.
Twitter user @thegirlss snapped this alternate photo of Romney at the same station:
