I do not count mini's, decants, samples or anything else that isnt a 100% legit bottle.
Samples and up
Decants/Minis and up (usually 4 or 5ml +)
Any size (not samples) that has the company logo on it (i.e. a 5ml Mini, but not a 10ml decant)
Large official complimentary sizes and up (i.e. Montale 20ml bottles, Lutens 15ml)
Standard sized sale bottles only (usually 30ml+ though some houses differ)
(same poll for women is in the ladies' section -
I suspect there's a difference by gender)
Some of you have a dazzling number of fragrances in your Basenotes wardrobes. This begs the question of how do you count them?
Do you include things like samples, decants, miniatures (i.e. 5ml Lutens bottles sold by the perfume house vs decants) and large official complimentary samples (like Montale 20ml format or Lutens 15ml formats) or do you just include "proper" bottles, 30ml and up?
For the "standard size" option, that's usually 30ml and up, but often Pure Parfum and Extrait de Parfum sizes are much smaller, 8ml 10ml etc, and those should count as "Standard Sizes".
In terms of gender difference, my guess is that men will tend to only count the bottles, whereas women will tend to include non official sizes like decants. So let's see!

Same here.
I only count 30 ML., and up. Speaking of which, I wish all perfume maker's would offer a 30 ML bottle.Perhap's I would pay a little more, but that would be fine with me.Example if MPG even offered 50ML. bottle sizes, I would have at least 5 more of their fragrance's in my wardrobe. Which is why I buy 8ML,or10ML decants.I end up even paying more,this route, but because I have a long time love affair with fragrance's it's all worth it!
I no longer buy full sized bottles of anything--I've never gone through a whole bottle of anything even when I had only 1 or 2 scents in the old days.
I count decants and up. I look at it like this -- because i have so (too?) many bottles, a decant lasts me forever! I have 5ml decants i bought years ago that are still more than half full.

I count all of my full retail bottles and the very few 15ml and up decants I own
Last edited by teger; 5th December 2007 at 11:15 PM.
Full bottle only, but I do include those in the mail.
Standard sized bottles only. 50ml or up. (unless they only come in 30 ml so i guess 30ml or up then!)

30 ml and larger only.
10ml and up ...
Oh please, if everyone around here is going to start telling the truth, I'm going to bed. - The House of Yes
I count from 10-ml bottle since I have so many, and so this small size would last for, at least, 5 years. However, most of my bottles are 100-ml ones.
Current Top 5
1. Creed Aventus
2. A*Men Pure Malt
3. L'instant Extreme
4. Nasomatto Duro
5. CDG - Kyoto
When Caron's Poivre parfum extrait costs as much as it does, yes, I do count 5ml and up decants. My mix is about 40:60 decants:full-fledged bottles.
No decants, only original bottles.
Big bottles only for me too.
"We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force." Ayn Rand...
"The essence of fascism is to make laws forbidding everything and then enforce them selectively against your enemies."
Daily Wardrobe
Only 'official' bottles in my wardrobe; decants, samples and minis all go in the 'tested' section.
"Perfume is the dream that carries me."
There is always the sky to look at
"Normal" bottles in the wardrobe, everything else from 10ml decants to 1ml samples goes into the "pending" section. It's the only way I can keep track of all this stuff.
My Wardrobe
II est de forts parfums pour qui toute matière/Est poreuse. On dirait qu'ils pénètrent le verre.
While my wardrobe is completely out of date, if I ever get around to updating it, I will only include retail bottles and 30ml (or greater) decants.
Only full-size for me too...which sometimes is tiny if its a pure parfum/extrait.
I have the 10ml set of Different Company scents, but I don't count them (not even sure why...they seem more like samples to me).
Other than curiousity, I am not sure why there have been so many discussions of what should or should not be (is or is not) included in one's wardrobe. Although my list includes 95% bottles, my inclusion of decants or minis allows others to see what I have for an opinion request or a swap or trade request. When decant sales and swaps were allowed here, and many still think they are, listing these was the source of many dozens of excellent swaps and sales for me and many others here.
Founder- Cosa Nosetra
30ml and up...
I spray a lot, so Decants and samples don't last long to justify a place in my wardrobe...
I count just bottles 30ml and above (sometimes, I wish it wasn't so...)
"Faites des bêtises, mais faites les avec enthousiasme !" Colette
thanks caesar!
i have been wondering. i didnt want to fill in my wardrobe until this was answered.
Samples and up. Makes it MUCH easier to keep track of what scents I actually have.
If I was only counting full retail bottles, my wardrobe would be about half of what it is now. As such, my 'drobe will be substantially less in the next few months as the samples and decants are depleted.
Dave here.
Bottles only. If I counted samples I'd have about 400 scents in my wardrobe, instead of thirty-something. Perhaps I have too many samples...
Last edited by Off-Scenter; 6th December 2007 at 04:53 AM.
Bottles and decants over an ounce or so. I think I have one that's less but am unsure of the size, I count it anyways.
I don't count the small sample decants I usually get free from SA's, mostly because I don't wear 99% of them,
Only 1 oz. and up bottles for me in my wardrobe collection. As far as I'm concerned, not enough companies produce the 1 oz. bottles - I prefer them but I have only about 7 or 8 of them. I would buy a lot more fragrances if they came in the smaller 1 oz packages.
If I listed samples, I'd have almost 2,000.
Only commercial bottles that are supposed for sale or test.
I have a special list for decants, samples etc.
Vetiver The Great!!!
Only official bottles that are above average decant bottle size. So, anything 15ml or above (and is an official bottle) counts - a good example would be those 15ml SL bottles. But then again, I always ensure that I own at least 50ml of anything in my wardrobe...
I only have, and only, therefore count, bottles that are 100ml or 125ml, unless the largest bottle made in that fragrance was 75ml. All in all, I now have 965. I quit at 1000. I swear.
While I don't have a huge wardrobe, I own enough scents, and wear them lightly enough, that I go through bottles very slowly. So I'm happy to have the smallest available bottles -- if I can track down 1-ounce bottle, or a half ounce (like the DSH purse sprays), that's great, and it seems silly not to count them as part of my wardrobe when they're exactly what I want to have in it. I happen not to have any bottles smaller than 1 ounce at the moment.
I don't count samples because they're typically just about gone by the time I've made up my mind about them.
I don't enjoy having decants, really -- none at present or in my future plans. The packaging means a lot less to me than the juice inside, but it's still part of the pleasure of owning and using this stuff.

Bobby Ghosh:
Why global jihad is losing
Throughout the history of Islam, says journalist Bobby Ghosh, there have been two sides to jihad: one, internal, a personal struggle to be better, the other external. A small minority has appropriated the second meaning, using it as an excuse for deadly global violence against "the West." Ghosh suggests it's time to reclaim the word.

A MAN who discovered a 48-year-old bar of Kendal Mint Cake in his loft believes it may be the oldest-surviving bar of the famous confectionery.
Peter Truelove, 68, of Windermere, bought the bar of Robert Wiper's Original Mint Cake when he and a friend visited Kendal as 21-year-olds in 1964.
The pair were on a 'boy's adventure' which took them from their homes in Kent to John O'Groats, the most northerly point on the Scottish mainland.
"We travelled the distance in an Austin 7 and it took us a week," said Mr Truelove, of Hill Top. "The car only did 35mph at best and it was blizzard weather – the snow was coming into the car.
"We called at Kendal on the way back and we'd heard about the mint cake, so when we saw some we thought we'd buy a bar."
Mr Truelove said he was not sure why he had kept the bar in a box in his loft.
"It was on a shelf as a memento of the trip but it's been in the loft since we moved to Windermere 16 years ago," he said. The bar is still in reasonable condition although some of the sugar is seeping through the wrapping.
Although the original Wipers recipe is still used, the company was sold to Romneys in 1987.
Managing director John Barron said: "We have been making it all these years and I don't think we have any that old – it's impressive.
"It wouldn't do him any harm to eat it now but I don't expect it would taste very nice."
Mr Truelove said what was also interesting to discover was the journal he wrote while travelling, which documented the stop-off in Kendal. He said: "I had to record everything we spent because my friend and I were splitting the cost of the trip. It's funny now to look back and see that someone offered to sell us a car engine and gear box for £2.50, and that 15 litres of petrol was 60p.
"Unfortunately, the price of the mint cake wasn't included, although I did write that we'd visited and purchased it."
STUDENTS from around the globe are making Ambleside their home after enrolling on the University of Cumbria's first ever international course.
Outdoor enthusiasts from countries including China, Australia and Germany are among the 17 students spending the Autumn term in the Lake District as part of their masters in Transcultural European Outdoor Studies.
The qualification is the first of its kind and is being run by the university, Germany's University of Marburg and Norway's School of Sport Sciences.
Course leader Dr. Christopher Loynes said: "Within this time frame, our ambition is to make the course a coveted choice for people interested in pursuing a career in the outdoor field. We also aim to develop tight links with non-European universities and make the course truly global. Eventually, we plan to make the course financially self-sustaining through the charging of student fees."
The course will be funded by the European Commission for the next five years and once students have left Ambleside in the New Year they will spend their next two terms at the other institutions.
While some of the students area already experienced in outdoor studies, for many this is a new area of knowledge and expertise.
Katerina Pata from Greece, who previously studied to be a pre-school teacher, said:"I couldn't find a relevant masters course in Greece and applied for courses elsewhere in Europe. I liked this course because I get a chance to go to three different countries and learn various approaches to the subject. My goal is to make the concept of outdoor learning more prominent in my country and create my own outdoor kindergarten."
However, others come to the course with a lot of experience like Wilson Wai Yin Cheung who is a former president of the mountaineering association of Hong Kong.
The students, who come from 15 countries, will be living in university accommodation in Ambleside and learning the theoretical knowledge and practical qualifications necessary to be successful outdoor industry professionals.
During their first semester they will undertake two week-long hiking expeditions, one in the Scottish Highlands and one in the Lake District and a week-long canoeing trip.

Members of the Maldives Traveller website can now exchange points for free gifts
Members of the Maldives Traveller website can now exchange their review points for free gifts.
Last year the Maldives Traveller launched a scheme to encourage holiday makers to share their memories of a stay in the tropical paradise of the Maldives by submitting personal reviews to the Maldives Traveller website (www.maldivestraveller.mv). Now, it has gone a stage further by rewarding those reviewers with free gifts.
Each review is rewarded with a specific number of points and the author designated Reviewer, Senior Reviewer, Contributor, Senior Contributor and Maldives Ambassador depending on the quantity submitted. Each category qualifies for a specific number of points ranging from 3,000 to 50,000.
The innovative Gift Reward Scheme of the Maldives Traveller now translates those points into gifts. Initially the gift catalogue will include memorable souvenirs from Maldives. The scheme is meant to encourage all members of the holidaying community to submit their reviews and claim their gifts.
The beta version of Maldives Traveller website, launched in August 2012, also gives advice to potential visitors to the region whatever their purpose whether business or pleasure. The experiences of all types of holidaymakers: honeymooners, surfers, wedding parties and a host of others pursuing the endless variety of leisure, available in the resorts, are to be the inspiration for others to do the same. Those experiences the Maldives Traveller website is there to help share.
Dozens have submitted their reviews and have saluted the uniqueness of the resorts and the life changing experience of a visit to the islands.

GRAHAM – Students at
The reunions, held separately Friday for students in grades 3-5, taught students about the impact on education and career choices on earning potential. Students researched those topics in advance and, during the event, interviewed others about what careers they chose, how much education their jobs required, and how much money they made.
"We talked a lot about financial literacy," said Amber Harrington, a counselor at South Graham who organized the activity. She said principles such as this one typically hold true: "More education means more money."
Victoria Riffe, a fifth-grade student at South Graham, chose to be a veterinarian.
"I had to get a doctorate," she said, but with earnings of $82,000 a year and doing work she enjoys, all those years in school seemed worth it.
"I have a Yorkie terrier and an Australian Shepherd mix and two cats," Riffe said, so she knows she likes animals.
Ryan Murphy, also in fifth grade, wants to be a scientist working with machinery and technology. With an engineering degree, he would expect to make $60,000.
Other career goals students mentioned included fashion designer and security guard.
Harrington complimented students when they remembered to act like their future selves: "I love how you are coming in so quietly, just like you are 33 years old."
Other times, she had to remind them how things will change.
"Please walk," she would ask students when they ran across the gym floor. "You're 33."
Some of the female students wore dresses or blouse/skirt combinations while portraying their adult selves. One male student added a tie to his regular school clothes while another dressed as a soccer player to illustrate his career goal.
Held in the school's gym, the reunion included punch, snacks and music.
Harrington liked the make-believe aspect of the reunions.
For the most part, she said, students are "not able to pretend any more" because school is "really instructional."

Concord, MA – January 21, 2010 – TomTom, the world's leading provider of navigation solutions and digital maps, today revealed the first fully detailed view of which interstate highways are the fastest and slowest in the United States. Although the average speed on some U.S. roads slightly exceeded the speed limit, data from GPS users show that, overall, drivers tend to stay within speed limit range on most major U.S. highways.
The results were calculated using data from Speed Profiles™, the historical speed database from TomTom's map business unit Tele Atlas that helps personal and professional fleet drivers find the best routes. Speed Profiles is integrated as IQ Routes™ on TomTom devices. It aggregates, anonymously, the actual speeds that millions of GPS-enabled drivers have traveled over the last two years to provide the most accurate view of historic speeds available.
Data were organized to show the average speeds on interstate highways and to reflect only free flow speed data, or average speeds when there is no traffic present. When compared to a database of posted speed limits, the results indicate that the average U.S. driver stays within the speed limit range on most urban and rural interstate highways:
- Even drivers in the fastest states tend to stay within the speed limit range. Across all interstate highways, Mississippi has the fastest roads, with average speeds of just over 70 MPH and posted speed limits ranging from 65-70 MPH. New Mexico (70 MPH actual average, 70-75 MPH posted speed limits), Idaho (70 MPH actual average, 65-75 MPH posted speed limits), Utah (70 MPH actual average, 65-75 MPH posted speed limits) and Alabama (70 MPH actual average, 60-70 MPH posted speed limits), round out the top five states with the fastest interstates in the country;
- Famous worldwide as a road network where drivers can go as fast as they like, Germany's Autobahn has speed limits in some areas, but drivers typically travel over 100 MPH in unregulated spots. Where is America's Autobahn? Our fastest road is on I-15 in Utah and Nevada, with speeds averaging 77.67 MPH, although some spots on that highway allow 80 MPH;
- The nation's fastest area is in the middle part of the country. Seven of the top 15 states with the fastest highways are in that area. The average speeds on roads in Mississippi, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Idaho, Alabama and Missouri exceed 67 MPH; the average posted speed limits in those states is 70 MPH;
- Speeds on single interstate highways that span a number of states, such as the I-95 route running from Northern Maine to Southern Florida, differ dramatically depending on where you are. Along that highway, the fastest section is in South Carolina; the slowest sections are in Virginia, New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
- Findings for the Washington D.C. area echo results found in TomTom's recent study of the most congested traffic spots in the U.S. (see www.teleatlas.com/WhyTeleAtlas/Pressroom/PressReleases/TA_CT038317) Washington D.C. has the slowest average MPH on its interstate highways, at 46 MPH. After Washington D.C., the states with the slowest interstate average MPH are: Hawaii (53 MPH); Delaware (61 MPH); Rhode Island (63 MPH); and Oregon (63 MPH).

Gert Smal talks to SA Rugby magazine about Ireland's return to Lansdowne Road, taking on the Bok lineout again, and the new law interpretations.
You live across the road from Lansdowne Road. How special will the first Test back at the ground be?
It will be amazing. Lansdowne Road has always been the traditional home of Irish rugby and is still the oldest rugby stadium in the world. There is a real desire to make it a fortress for the team, but to do that we have to put in a performance and not worry about the history or the occasion.
It will also be your first Test there as an Ireland coach.
The atmosphere at Croke Park was always pretty special for us, but the spectators were a good distance away from the pitch. That won't be the case at Lansdowne Road, which will make it more intimate for the players and fans.
You were part of the Bok coaching staff that went on a Grand Slam tour in 2004, but this Bok outfit ?seems to be in a very different place. Do you agree?
No, I don't. That team in 2004, and the one that played against Ireland in 2006, had the nucleus of the side that went on to win the World Cup and was the start of great things for the Boks. They may have lost their Tri-Nations title, but they still have a squad with good strength in depth and players who are able to compete at the very top of international rugby.
As Ireland's forwards coach you're also a selector, which wasn't the case when you were with the Boks. How much of a benefit is that?
During my time with the Boks the assistant coaches had input when it came to player selection; it's important to give your views as part of that process. As a coach with Ireland, all selection meetings are based on looking at how well players are performing and which players will fit into the team strategy and game plan for a particular match. We attend provincial training sessions so we can see how players do in training and not just matches. We also have regular discussions with the provincial coaches about the players and the game in general.
Much was said about your role in dismantling the Bok lineout last year. Were you surprised they hadn't changed their calls?
To say we dismantled their lineout is probably overstating how the lineout battle went. I think we prepared and competed well that day, but all teams adapt for each match they play, so no two are the same. It wasn't a case of knowing their lineout calls, but rather making sure we competed as much as possible and we got the breaks that allowed us to disrupt them. We will need to be on top of our game in order to compete with the Bok lineout again.
Victor Matfield said you taught the Irish forwards Afrikaans before last year's Test.
When I arrived here I had hoped that we could use Gaelic, the traditional Irish language, to run lineout calls, but it isn't spoken as widely as I'd thought. A lot has been made of Victor's comments, but really, my ability to teach Afrikaans is not up to that sort of standard. And the guys even battled to pronounce my name correctly at first. I worked with many of the Boks for over six years and knew their lineout intricacies and abilities so that was a major help and certainly the Irish guys would have been aware of cues and triggers. But the real ability to compete with an opposition lineout comes from detailed analysis, really studying how a team uses its lineouts to attack. We did reasonably well last year, but I expect the Boks to be every bit as difficult to break down in this area.
Have the Boks changed their lineout system since then?
Like any other team, I think their lineout is always evolving and adjusting to the teams they play. No one game is the same and I think the Bok lineout did well during the Tri-Nations. If they still believe we know their calls they will certainly change them.
As many as 13 senior Boks are set to be rested for this tour. How will that affect your preparation?
I don't know who will be selected for the Boks but the depth in South African rugby means the team will always be strong. In my view there is no such thing as a weak Bok team and any touring squad will be playing for World Cup places, so we will be preparing to face a strong team. The coverage of the Currie Cup is limited here, but I try to catch as many games as possible.
How would you compare the player depth that Ireland has compared to South Africa?
It does come down to numbers and South Africa has always had a big rugby-playing population so the Boks' strength in depth is probably the best in world rugby. [Ireland coach] Declan Kidney has been building a stronger squad and he increased competition for places over the past 18 months by exposing players to international games and working with the provinces. I think we're now in a better place than we were before. He has always said that Ireland's size is actually our strength, as the players know each other so well, have achieved so much together and have an inner belief about what they can achieve. I agree.
Why have Ireland struggled since winning the Grand Slam last year?
Rugby is about small margins. A missed touch here, a dropped ball there and games can get away from you. This year, there were so many moments that didn't go our way that could have made a difference. You need these things to happen for you to build momentum in a match and once that happens, that momentum can build from game to game. The tour to Australasia was very important for us. While we didn't win any games and had 14 players injured before we left, it created opportunities for players to test their abilities at that level and to see how they functioned against two of the top three sides in the world. Importantly, the coaches all felt that the players gave us options for selection.
How much have you grown as a coach by working with individuals from different cultures and rugby backgrounds?
It's been very important for my development as a coach as you pick up so much information, traditions and understanding of the game. Working with Declan, [defence coach] Les Kiss, [backs coach] Alan Gaffney and [kicking coach] Mark Tainton exposes you to a wide range of international experience and views of the game. We've all learnt from each other and hopefully I will use that in future.
How have the Irish sides adapted to playing under the new law interpretations and what will Ireland have to do differently for the November Tests?
It was hard to gauge early on in our season. It took time for Super 14 teams to adjust to the new interpretations at the start of the tournament and the northern hemisphere also went through that stage. We are still 11 months and 13 Tests away from the World Cup, so there is quite a bit of time to make any further adjustments. By the time we got to play the southern hemisphere teams in June they'd had four months of the new interpretations. By November, it will be easier to judge how much progress we've made.
Is it a concern that many of Ireland's senior players are over 30 and may be too old at the World Cup?
Age is just a number and it's all about a player's ability. We also have a large number of players who are well under 30. I believe you need that balance of experience and youth to give you a strong mix, something that is crucial in a tournament like the World Cup. You need experience to win it, just look at how important Os du Randt was for the Boks in 2007.

What is a coronary angiogram?
An angiogram is an X-ray image of blood vessels after they are filled with a contrast material. An angiogram of the heart, a coronary angiogram, is the "gold standard" for the evaluation of coronary artery disease (CAD). A coronary angiogram can be used to identify the exact location and severity of CAD.
How is a coronary angiogram performed?
Coronary angiography is performed with the use of local anesthesia and intravenous sedation, and is generally not significantly uncomfortable.
What does a coronary angiogram demonstrate?
Angiographic images accurately reveal the extent and severity of all coronary artery blockages. For patients with severe angina or heart attack (myocardial infarction), or those who have markedly abnormal noninvasive tests for CAD (such as stress tests), the angiogram also helps the doctor select the optimal treatment. Treatments may then include medications, balloon angioplasty, coronary stenting, atherectomy ("roto-rooter"), or coronary artery bypass surgery.

(This one sounds awfully familiar, but I couldn't find it by googling. Apologies in advance if I'm poaching on an earlier post.) In some circumstances, "hard" and "arduous" are nearly synonyms, so this conflation seems inevitable. About 800 raw hits. Examples:
Starting a party, creating a vision, attracting people and monies to operate is a harduous task. It is not an endeavour for the weak and unfocused.

The citizenship process is unfortunately pretty long and harduous. Or luckily, in my case, just long: the harduous part is taken care of by my company.
People in really strenuous jobs always seem to age quicker then those in less harduous jobs.
The substitution pf 'artuous' for 'arduous' also occurs and makes a certain sense (Ars longa, vita brevis!)-

Draft Status: This is a little uncertain, because some think that Missouri LB Sean Weatherspoon or Florida LB Brandon Spikes are better linebackers than McClain, and because they either already to play on the outside, or look to be able to, will be taken ahead of him, and push him to the bottom of the round. I have a hard time believing that. McClain could have a huge impact on a defense, especially a team that runs the 3-4 and you can pair him up with another Mike and let him blitz and run and make plays. If he can continue to play like he has, and have a good offseason showing I see no reason he should be drafted anywhere outside the first 20 picks.
Final Analysis: I love McClain's game. I love the fact that he always knows what to do at the right time, and is almost never caught out of position. I love he's big and strong enough to hold the point of attack even against offensive linemen, and that he can deliver a blow like no other player in the draft. He's a throwback kind of guy. Not flashy, and not all about the triangle numbers. Just an incredibly talented and productive linebacker.
Reminds me of: Ray Lewis, LB Baltimore Ravens-McClain has the look of a super star, like Lewis does and is an explosive powerful and smart playmaker, just like Lewis. Also, he may end up slipping in the first round like Lewis did, but for different reasons.

Best Bar None
Birmingham City Council, in partnership with West Midlands Police and Fire Service, launched this year's Best Bar None competition on 29 February 2012.
Best Bar None is a national award scheme supported by the Home Office and aimed at promoting responsible management and operation of alcohol licensed premises. It was piloted in Manchester in 2003 and found to improve standards in the night time economy, with premises now competing to participate. It has since been adopted by 100 towns and cities across the UK and is now being taken up internationally.
The aim of Best Bar None is to reduce alcohol related crime and disorder in a town centre by building a positive relationship between the licensed trade, police and local authorities.
Best Bar None accreditation is awarded to venues that are outstanding in every way – superb management, brilliant service and an outstanding night out. The scheme rewards premises that are raising the standard by taking pride in their surroundings, operating responsibly and demonstrating a commitment to reducing alcohol related crime. We want residents and visitors to our city to confidently enjoy Birmingham's outstanding nightlife.
More than 100 premises licensed to sell alcohol took part in last year's scheme and the award ceremony, sponsored by Bacardi Brown-Forman, was held at the International Convention Centre on 13 October 2011.
A team of assessors from Birmingham City Council, West Midlands Fire Service and West Midlands Police spent months visiting each establishment that had entered to probe every aspect of how they are run and give them a score. Those with the highest scores were shortlisted and a panel of judges selected the winners of the awards.
And the winners were:
BEST INDEPENDENT BAR - Mono Bar, Arcadian.
BEST UNIVERSITY/STUDENT BAR - Joe's Bar, University of Birmingham, Edgbaston.
BEST HOTEL BAR - Holiday Inn Express, Lionel Street, City Centre.
PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD (voted for by listeners of radio station BRMB) - Risa, Broad Street.
BEST SUBURBAN BAR - Fighting Cocks, Moseley.
BEST CITY CENTRE BAR - Grosvenor G Casino, Broad Street.
BEST CITY CENTRE PUB - The Square Peg, Corporation Street.
BEST SUBURBAN PUB - Red Lion, Kings Heath.
BEST NIGHTCLUB - Reflex, Arcadian.
BEST BAR NONE - Reflex, Arcadian.
79 venues received a plaque to show that they had left assessors impressed with their efforts in managing and running their establishments.

The Virginia sandstone facing the Capitol's center building had deteriorated seriously by the mid-1900s, and its details were hidden beneath layers of paint. One way to solve these problems—and gain much-needed office space—was by building marble-faced additions to the east and west fronts. An east extension (first suggested in 1863) would also provide greater visual support for the iron dome.
House Speaker Sam Rayburn of Texas single-handedly secured funds for the east extension, completed in 1962. The west front project had a far different fate. Architects and historic preservationists raised a storm of protest when the idea for its extension was proposed in 1964. After years of rancorous debate, Congress rejected it. Instead, Congress ordered restoration of the west front, which was accomplished from 1983 to 1987.
The central figure in Luigi Persico's Genius of America was removed in 1958 when the portico was demolished to make way for the new east front extension.
Architect of the Capitol
East front construction and dome repair, 1960
The Capitol's west front was restored from 1983-1987.
The original columns from the Capitol's east portico have been re-erected at the National Arboretum.

Dog Cancer Lumps
Dog Cancer Lumps
Lumps and bumps will appear on or under the skin of most senior dogs. Most of these are benign and are no cause for concern. If however, your dog has a new lump, you should consult with your veterinarian before making a decision. The bump needs to be evaluated. Your vet can examine the lump and do the necessary tests to determine if it is a malignant tumor.
Types of Cancer Lumps
There are several different types of cancer lumps that may appear on your dog.
Lymphomas can appear under the skin in the lymph nodes, in the liver, spleen and other organs and can lead to Dog Lymphoma Cancer. The internal lumps are felt upon examination by your vet. Those that involve lymph nodes will often appear as lumps under the skin. Some of the tumors in the lymph nodes cause no symptoms. Others can cause itching, swelling, ulcers and redness. Normal treatment is removal of the lump.
There are two basic types of sarcomas, fibrosarcoma and hemangiosarcoma. Both are aggressive and are either on the skin or directly under it. They are aggressive tumors and can spread very quickly. Removal of the tumor can include amputation at times.
Hemangiosarcoma are those that appear on the chest or abdomen and are related to sun exposure. These are dark tumors and often will ulcerate. An example of this is Dog Bone Hemangiosarcoma.
Fibrosarcomas are seen around injections sites of medication or vaccination. They will appear as firm lumps that vary in shape. One example is Dog Skin Fibrosarcoma.
Mast Cell Tumor
The appearance of a Dog Mast Cell Tumors is not uncommon. They may vary in size and shape and can also vary in the number of tumors. This is one of the types of tumors that are graded. The grade can vary from one to four with level one being a slow growing tumor and level four fast and potentially able to metastasize. Success of the treatment depends on the stage of the mast cell.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Dog Squamous Cell Carcinoma is also quite common. These are specifically associated with sun damage or skin conditions. There are two possible ways they can appear. They can appear as cauliflower-shaped lesions. These usually ulcerate and are usually present on the face or as scaly, crusty ulcerations on the legs or other parts of the body that have been irritated frequently. Radiation or surgery are the two most common types of treatment for this type of cancer. Most treatment will depend on the location.
Basal Cell tumors
This type of tumor can be malignant or benign. As with any other tumor, Dog Basal Cell Tumor should arouse some concern in the dog owner. They will usually appear on the head, chest or neck. Occasionally they are soft and fluid filled, but can also be firm and dark in color. Basal cell tumors seldom metastasize and can be removed surgically without chemotherapy in most instances.
Histiocytosis can be present in one of three forms. While only one is malignant, it is important to have it checked. It appears as a large nodule that is hairless. In most instances there will be ulcers associated with them. The malignant histiocytosis can affect the internal organs and the skin and there is no effective treatment for them.

My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
Kobe hooked Mason there and of course the last ref he talked to after the timeout blew the whistle.
we've gotta be the best team in the nba at blowing leads as quickly as possible
wonder how many of his 30k points were due to horrible calls
I can't understand why X is getting these minutes and Miller hasn't seen the floor.
this is getting ridiculous with all the calls going the lakers way.
smh refs
Shame that 10k of Kobe's points came from phantom foul calls.
Well the refs might ruin this for us. Lopez has been very good tonight.
I would actually live to know how many of his career points came from free throws. Talk about player bias
Your quick. Thanks. So a fourth of his points. Wow
I agree, I would like to see Miller at the SG/SF spot more so than X, at least Miller has some intelligence to his game
Man, it's been beaten to death, but David Wesley is terrible
Did the officials really think Kobe needed help getting to 13 points?
wtf are we doing?! how is mason in this league!?
What was Monty half time speech?
Dell Demps PLEASE get us some scorers!
Looks like they just gave up... no energy at all
the more i watch garbage mason play the more upset i get at gordon!!!!!!!!!! this is painful to watch

Serving as the northern and southern borders of the Panhandle, Fell and Oak streets are large streets with fast traffic taken by many commuters both by bike and car. While buffered bike lanes have greatly improved the biking experience, there continues to be much more that can be done for walking and biking.
Thanks to the advocacy of many of our members and in partnership with other neighborhood groups, the SFMTA Board of Directors unanimously approved a project on October 16, 2012 to install a protected bikeway on Fell and Oak Streets from Scott Street to Baker Street. This allowed for a much safer connection to and from the Wiggle, especially on these high-speed streets. After the bikeways were completed in May 2013, preliminary reports show an overall decrease in speeds and better behavior from people who now felt much better biking in the protected bikeway.
Despite this, there continue to be delays in the full implementation of the design, which called for permanent buffers to separate the bikeway from vehicle traffic. There still is need for further reducing speeds and improving key intersections to make crossing streets safer for the people who live, walk, and bike in the surrounding neighborhoods.
Fell and Oak Streets
Take Action
Project Details
On October 16, 2012, the SFMTA Fell and Oak Pedestrian and Bike Safety Project is approved. The first phase of construction completed in May 2013, which included:
- Protected bikeways on Fell Street (going west) and Oak Street (going east) from Scott Street to Baker Street
- Green bike lanes to increase visibility and highlight designation
- Soft-hit posts to prevent vehicles from entering the buffer zone
Four blocks in total, from Divisadero Street to Baker Street were repaved in February 2014. There were delays in repainting the bike lanes green and returning soft-hit posts.
The soft-hit posts were to be a temporary measure until concrete planters would be permanently installed. These have been delayed and installation is planned for later in 2014.
The SF Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) has been working with the SFMTA on a project to add rain gardens to bulbouts along Fell and Oak Streets. Originally scheduled for 2013, construction is now planned for summer 2014.
