Please measure the circumference of your chest using a cloth tape measure and add 1 if the measurement
is an odd number to get to the next even number and choose your size from the chart below.
Comment: I oredered it, came in two days. It was a perfect fit, nice and heavy, everything great but the only problem was I thought it was black so I shipped it back and got a refund.
Comment: This jacket is as full featured and heavy as any I have seen. The removable liner is a bit of a job but very handy to have. I wear a size 50 or 52 suit coat and ordered a 4XL. The fit is just right for those days when you need an extra layer underneath. This is not a warm weather jacket! Get something lighter for summer.

Comment: This is an excellent value. well constructed good fit. I've ordered several item here...never disappointed.
Dennis Sinero

Comment: This jacket did not look like its picture. It looked better. It is well constructed and the size was perfect.

Charlotte, NC
Comment: Right after I got this jacket I put it on. It looks and feels like I've been wearing it for years. I couldn't be more pleased with the quality and feel of this jacket and with the service I got from Jafrum. Less than a week from order to deliver. Jafrum has a returning customer for life in me. 100% pleased!
Eric Billings
Bellport, NY
Comment: The first time I touched this jacked I knew I got a great deal. Heavy duty to be sure, soft for comfort and the color was right on the money. I had friends guess it cost more than double what it did. If you're looking for a great brown biker jacket, this is it!
Comment: Very satisfied with this jacket, just what I was looking for, almost black but not. Looks good, feels good, with good fit. Great match with chaps 8551. Will shop Jafrum again, and spreed the word of the deals.
Comment: Very thick leather and nice heavy feed to the jacket, exactly what I was looking for. Nice color of dark brown which I love!
Comment: Good jacket! I'm a everyday rider, been caught in some 40 degree weather, and jacket holds up! Brown is like the avators of WWII. Really dark! Just what I wanted! Order your chest size. Next size up is a little loose.
R. Kilgore
Victoria, Texas
Comment: I was worried but its better then my 20 year old Wilson leather that looks the same. heavier and less than 1/2 the price of 20 yrs ago 6'2 and 230 got a 2xl
savannah ga
Comment: I can't over state the quality of this jacket. This is a heavy duty jacket that keep you warm on those cold rides. The look is old school and feels great. There is a removal liner for those that don't want too much warmth. Great leather qualify. Shipping was fast and you can't beat the price for such a great jacket.
Comment: I ordered this jacket for my husband for Christmas. It was so much nicer than it looked in the picture. He is very pleased. Weight wise, it is a heavy jacket. It seems durable. He rode his bike with it on a day that it was around 50 degrees and he was quite warm with the liner. He is very happy with the jacket and with me!
Angela D.
Comment: Very good quality and low cost compared to other jackets in this style.
I normally wear a Large as I'm 5'6" and 162 pounds. I took a chance and ordered the Large even though I considered going a size larger. It fits pretty snug with the liner in, but just about perfect with it out. I was concerned going a size larger would result in the sleeves being too long.
It would be a lot more helpful if the Size Chart included Shoulder and Sleeve measurements as well as the Chest size.
So far I'm very pleased with the jacket. It looks and feels great. I may buy the matching chaps in the future.
Randall Callin
Comment: Really fast service (arrived next day) and great price. Love the texture of the leather, but as one reviewer stated, the leather is very dark (would have liked some lighter brown highlights, but I knew it was dark). I ordered my regular size and the fit is great. My only criticism is the lining fabric is a bit flimsy, but otherwise this jacket has a lot going for it.
T. Savage

Made with good buffalo hide, very good stitching
The Detour 8008 made of 100%
genuine buffalo leather and is packed with style and functionality for under a
hundred bucks.
Buffalo leather is very heavy duty and tends to be a bit stiffer then cowhide
when new so it may take some riding to break in and soften up. But, once it
does, your buffalo leather will be durable yet flexible, making it a great
choice for a motorcycle
riding jacket material that will last for a lifetime.
The 8008 is brown with brass hardware which adds to its already retro look. All
of the zippers have leather pull tabs to make them easier to operate while
wearing gloves.
Both the collar and lapels have snaps to keep them in place while riding. Unsnap
the lapels and you can zip up one flap over the other to create a dual layer
barrier against wind and weather. There are leather straps that snap down on
each shoulder for added style. On a uniform, these would have been used for
mounting epaulettes or holding a strap for supporting a scabbard or a pistol. I
use mine for holding my glasses when I知 off of the bike. There is an angled
zippered pocket on the chest and two hand warmer pockets that play to the retro
look as does the snaped coin pocket on the stomach portion of the jacket.
The interior has a removable thermal liner. This liner seals in your body heat
and will keep you warm during the colder months. On warm days, you can take the
quilted liner out, exposing a silky lining that allows the jacket to move freely
on your body for excellent mobility. To remove the liner, simply unzip the liner
from the shell. Then unsnap the cuffs of the liner from the cuffs of the shell.
The liner then pulls right out.
The detour 8008 has numerous features that add to its overall adjustability. You
will find a laced expander in the lower rib area and a half-belt at the waist
that can be adjusted to meet your fitment needs. On the sleeves, you will find
zippered gussets that allow for easy jacket and glove removal.
Detour has kept the back of the 8008 very simple and clean looking. There are
flex areas in the shoulders for added mobility and thats about it, making this a
great choice for riders looking for a place to put some patchwork.

SEATTLE, Oct. 29, 2003 -- In early October 2003, Swedish became the first hospital in the Northwest to begin using new, fully integrated endoscopic surgery suites that utilize voice-activation technology to increase the types and efficiency of minimally invasive surgeries that Swedish-affiliated surgeons are able to offer patients. The two high-tech operating rooms (OR) are located in the main surgery unit of the First Hill campus.
Featuring equipment developed by Stryker Corp., the new ORs are among the most technologically advanced adult surgical suites in the region. Swedish surgeons are already using the sophisticated medical and information technologies to perform less invasive, camera-assisted surgeries. Surgeons use voice commands available in the OR's audiovisual system to adjust cameras, focus images, digitally record the operation and perform many other functions to assist in surgery. The rooms are also equipped with new teleconferencing capabilities that will soon 'narrowcast' surgeries over secure lines to digitally wired classrooms and conference rooms across the medical center, the region or the world.
For ergonomic and mobility reasons, the new surgical equipment is located on a ceiling-mounted suspension system. Now, staff can easily move surgical towers because they don't touch the floor. Among other things, the new ORs are increasing productivity of Swedish clinical and support staff, improving procedural efficiency and reducing overall surgery costs.
This $785,000 project was funded by an anonymous grant.
Endoscopy and Minimally Invasive Surgery
Endoscopy is the general term for examination of the body's interior with an endoscope -- a thin, flexible tube with a camera and a light source at the tip. Endoscopes allow physicians to look directly at internal organs without making incisions. Originally developed as a diagnostic tool, endoscopes are used to collect tissue samples for biopsies, perform operations such as polyp or tumor removal, cauterize blood vessels or remove gall bladders. Laparoscopy involves the use of rigid scopes to view abdominal organs and perform surgical procedures.
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) is much less traumatic than conventional open surgery, as the surgeon only requires very small incisions in the patient's body to successfully perform an operation. The surgeon uses an endoscope to allow the anatomy and operation to be viewed on video monitors. MIS results in shorter hospital stays, faster recovery times and reduced costs.
Swedish conducts more than 1,200 minimally invasive abdominal and thoracic surgeries each year.
Surgery Types
The new ORs are currently being reserved for Level-1 procedures, which are the most complicated. Among others, they include minimally invasive chest surgery; laparoscopic gallbladder surgery, appendix or colon removal; kidney removal for tumor or transplantation; minimally invasive procedures for urologic conditions; minimally invasive diaphragmatic hernia repair; and minimally invasive gynecologic surgery.
The Technology
The EndoSuite™ OR involves integrating Stryker medical video equipment with a ceiling-mounted suspension system. Two key components of the new ORs are a Stryker voice-controlled system called Sidne (Stryker Intelligent Device Network) -- the world's first FDA-approved system capable of networking medical equipment in the OR -- and the SwitchPoint™ central control system. These systems provide surgeons with comprehensive access to and control of critical devices, in conjunction with networked digital documentation and wide-scale telemedicine capabilities.
In MIS, the surgeon uses both hands to manipulate special instruments to perform procedures. A registered nurse, under the verbal direction of the surgeon, traditionally controls all other medical devices used during the surgery. This may result in misunderstandings, unnecessary waiting periods and undue stress. With Sidne, the surgeon has direct control over all the medical equipment via his/her own voice. Sidne can activate equipment, document findings with pictures and/or motion video and dictate notes directly to the hospital network. This improves team efficiency and reduces operating time, shortening the period a patient must remain under anesthesia.
A leader in endoscopic imaging, Stryker created the first soakable camera in 1989, followed by the first three-chip camera later that same year. The company has developed the first medically approved flat-panel displays designed around the specific needs of MIS procedures. These flat panels display brilliant, high-resolution digital and analog images. A typical system has two to six flat-panel monitors hanging from ceiling-mounted arms. Advanced mobility allows the surgeon to bring the image right up to the surgical field rather than many feet away.
Stryker systems also incorporate an advanced digital-capture device that revolutionizes surgical documentation by digitally converting still images, motion videos and dictation to a CD, DVD or hospital network. Information may be captured, annotated and securely saved directly into patient records. A surgeon can also record images or high-resolution video for part or all of the case and provide a copy to the patient.
Emphasis on Teaching
In the near future, Swedish's EndoSuite operating rooms will connect with conference rooms, other hospital campuses and secure computer networks via an integrated video/data routing system. Digital routing will allow surgical images, audio notes and other patient data to be directly downloaded to a secure patient file on a central server.
"With the EndoSuite operating rooms, surgical residents and other clinicians can observe what is taking place both inside and outside the patient at the same time," explained Swedish-affiliated thoracic surgeon Ralph Aye, M.D. "This really helps us develop their professional skills."

Printing artifacts and century-old papers are everywhere. Soak it all in. Once seated at your table (topped using leftover marble from Hearst Castle), you can order cocktails like the Remember the Maine, or opt for bottled cocktails like a green tea/rye Artillery Punch for the table. But for cart-driven service, rare selections like George T. Stagg whiskey will come decanted tableside on a silver tray with all the proper accoutrements.
"Order the namesake Local Edition. No matter your usual spirit of choice, this bourbon cocktail is a well-crafted delight that won't disappoint."
"If you like tequila the Rosebud is delicious, and not overly sweet."
"20 ft ceilings, amazing sound, gorgeous waitresses, walls of red velvet couches, and beautiful lighting. Every detail is gorgeous, and the cocktails are amazing. They have a small special list of cocktails named "Fidel and Che", "U.S.S.R.", while they project post-war b&w propaganda films on a curtain nearby."
"The walk up bar is packed. Get faster service by reserving a table."
...the bar replaces what was formerly The Manhattan Lounge in an underground space below the Hearst Building at 691 Market Street — the room was historically the printing room for William Randolph Hearst's Examiner and The Call back in the day, thus the name Local Edition. And rather than a speakeasy theme, this time the retro theme will the 1950s, and the cocktail list from bar manager Ian Scalzo uses names of people and events from that era.
The Bourbon & Branch people are getting away from the reservation-only stigma with Local Edition, a subterranean bar that marries sexy to vintage typewriters in the Hearst Building with a stage for live music. The team's usual serious cocktails are also available with a noticeable lean towards mod era classics.

I have about 35 different different colognes but Baryshnkov gets me more comments from the ladies than any other hands down. I would recommend this highly.

This scent is the most addictive male scent I ever wore. If ever a scent turned a woman's head this is it. I don't know if it worth $150.00 a bottle or not. I bought my first bottle for under $15.00.

My husband love the scent of this cologne and so do I. He was using it for years and one day - poof - it was gone - what happened. We have been looking every where for it. I have been ordering from FragranceNet a while now - today (2-6-13) I asked him what was he low on and what did he want - he only said Baryshnikov and smiled - said that is the best he ever had. So here I am looking for it again - When will they start producing it again? I read some of the reviews and many people are looking for it. Thank You!

I've been looking for this for a while. Baryshnikov makes people, especially women, stop and turn around. I would get compliments all the time. It's not only women that like compliments. =D

Baryshnikov is MY signature scent!! I can rarely find it but I have ALWAYS received great compliments on it. It is so good, I refuse to tell the ladies the name of the scent.

Kurt Coleman kicked an 80th minute penalty in a 31-all draw against the Lions in Johannesburg.
The Lions produced a great second half to be within a minute of a victory that seemed unlikely when Province led 22-3 after 30 minutes.
Province supporters will bemoan the Television Match Official Willie Roos ruling a controversial penalty try, but that wasn't the reason Province didn't win.
The visitors, who changed end 25-10 ahead, trailed 31-28 with 10 minutes to go, but sustained pressure in the final two minutes got the reward of a match-saving three-pointer.
The Lions outscored Province four tries to three.
It was Western Province's second draw in four Currie Cup matches this season.
Golden Lions – Tries: Deon Helberg, penalty try, Elton Jantjies, Jaco Kriel. Conversions: Marnitz Boshoff (4). Penalty: Boshoff.
Western Province – Tries: Damian de Allende, Cheslin Kolbe, Tiaan Liebenberg. Conversions: Kurt Coleman (2). Penalties: Coleman (4).
Golden Lions – 15 Marnitz Boshoff, 14 Deon Helberg, 13 Robert De Bruyn, 12 Dylan Des Fountain, 11 Anthony Volmink, 10 Elton Jantjies, 9 Guy Cronjé, 8 Lambert Groenewald, 7 Derick Minnie (c), 6 Warwick Tecklenburg, 5 Franco van der Merwe, 4 Willie Britz, 3 Ruan Dreyer, 2 Willie Wepener, 1 CJ van der Linde.
Subs: 16 Robbie Coetzee, 17 Jacques van Rooyen, 18 Hugo Kloppers, 19 JJ Breedt, 20 Jaco Kriel, 21 Tian Meyer, 22 Andries Coetzee.
Western Province – 15 Gio Aplon, 14 Gerhard van den Heever, 13 Juan de Jongh, 12 Damian de Allende, 11 Cheslin Kolbe, 10 Kurt Coleman, 9 Nic Groom, 8 Nizaam Carr, 7 Rynhardt Elstadt, 6 Deon Fourie (c), 5 De Kock Steenkamp, 4 Michael Rhodes, 3 Pat Cilliers, 2 Tiaan Liebenberg, 1 Steven Kitshoff.

Run of play commentary
80 Golden Lions 31 Western Province 31
80 PENALTY, WESTERN PROVINCE, COLEMAN! 31-31. Coleman holds his nerve to land the three-pointer after Tian Meyer is pinned for a ruck infringement! The place-kick is also the final act of the half and the sides have to be satisfied with the draw. Probably a fair result as WP dominated the first half and the Lions the second, but both sides would have wanted the win, no doubt.
79 WP are throwing everything into their attack, in an attempt to regain the lead! De Allende and De Jongh carry strongly but the Lions hold their defensive lines!
76 The visitors go on the drive from a line-out but the Lions do well to keep them at bay. Wp then have a crack at the home side's line with pick-up-and-goes from their forwards and Gerbrand Grobler is held up when he makes a dash for the line!
74 WP opt to kick the ball out on the Lions' five-metre line when Kriel is pinned for breaking away early from a scrum.
70 CONVERSION, GOLDEN LIONS, BOSHOFF! 31-28. Boshoff adds another two-pointer to extend the hosts' lead!
69 TRY, GOLDEN LIONS, MINNIE! 29-28. Minnie barges through tackles from De Allende and Ntubeni before scoring his side's fourth try!
68 The Lions attack close to WP's try-line but Jantjies and Robbie Coetzee are both stopped in their tracks by desperate tackling!
64 CONVERSION, GOLDEN LIONS, BOSHOFF. 24-28. Boshoff adds the easy two-pointer to narrow the gap to four points!
63 TRY, GOLDEN LIONS, JANTJIES! 22-28. Jaco Kriel does brilliantly when he breaks out from deep inside his 22. He is hauled in by Aplon, just outside WP's 22, but the ball is spun wide where Elton Jantjies sells WP's cover defence a neat dummy before scoring under the posts!
62 WP attack deep inside the Lions' 22 but Fourie is penalised for holding onto the ball on the ground. Boshoff kicks for touch and puts the ball out on his own 10-metre line.
60 The Lions attack from a line-out but the referee calls them back for a crooked throw from Willie Wepener.
57 Fourie and Cilliers are penalised for side-entry at a maul. Boshoff kicks for touch and puts the ball out on WP's five-metre line.
54 Michael Rhodes is pinned for going off his feet at a ruck and Jantjies puts the resulting penalty out inside WP's 22.
52 PENALTY, WESTERN PROVINCE, COLEMAN! 17-28. Coleman adds another three-pointer after Minnie is pinned for playing the ball on the ground.
48 YELLOW CARD, WESTERN PROVINCE, DE ALLENDE! De Allende is sent to the sin bin for his indiscretion and the visitors will play the next 10 minutes with 14 men!
48 CONVERSION, GOLDEN LIONS, BOSHOFF. 17-25. Boshoff adds the extras to narrow the gap to eight points!
47 TRY, GOLDEN LIONS, PENALTY TRY! 15-25. The Lions spread the ball wide with their backs and Boshoff steps inside of Kolbe, close to WP's try-line, but De Allende adjudged by the TMO to have prevented him from scoring a try by knocking the ball from his grasp.
45 Boshoff gathers a kick from Groom, 15 metres inside his half, and returns with a kick of his own which is too long and rolls over the dead-ball line.
43 WP attack close to the halfway mark and Carr offloads in the tackle to Scarra Ntubeni, who knocks on. The Lions regather and Guy Cronje is soon in the clear and setting off towards the visitors' try-line but Kolbe brings him to ground with a text-book tackle!
40 Coleman gets the second half started with a hanging kick which Minnie knocks on. This puts WP on the attack inside the home side's 22.
40 Golden Lions 10 Western Province 25
40 Boshoff gathers a kick from Gerhard van den Heever, close to the halfway line and when the hooter sounds, to indicate half-time, he kicks the ball into the crowd. That's the end of the first half and what an entertaining 40 minutes it's been! The visitors have come to play and surprised the Lions with their willingness to run the ball from all areas. The Lions came back strongly with that try from Helberg but they will have to improve considerably if they want to break their opponents' strangle-hold of this match.
39 PENALTY, WESTERN PROVINCE, COLEMAN. 10-25. Coleman makes no mistake from the kicking tee after Des Fountain is pinned for a ruck infringement.
38 WP are showing great continuity and take the ball through several phases until they are camped inside the hosts' 22. De Allende, Liebenberg and Pat Cilliers all carry strongly.
36 CONVERSION, GOLDEN LIONS, BOSHOFF! 10-22. Boshoff adds the extras, from close to the touchline, to narrow the gap to 12 points!
35 TRY, GOLDEN LIONS, HELBERG! WP do well to stop Britz in his tracks, on the try-line, but the Lions manage to get quick ruck ball to their backs where Deon Helberg runs onto a pass from Jantjies and gets in at the right-hand corner!
32 WP's forwards do well to control a line-out ball on the edge of their try-line. The ball is recycled and comes back to Coleman, who boots it upfield.
30 CONVERSION, WESTERN PROVINCE, COLEMAN! 3-22. Coleman steps up and calmly slots another two-pointer!
29 TRY, WESTERN PROVINCE, LIEBENBERG! 3-20. WP attack from the scrum and Nizaam Carr and Michael Rhodes first set up a couple of phases before Groom fires out a pass to Tiaan Liebenberg who crashes over from close quarters!
27 CJ van der Linde is penalised for illegal scrummaging, just inside his half. WP captain Deon Fourie instructs Coleman to kick for touch and he puts the ball out on the Lions' 22-metre line.
25 PENALTY, GOLDEN LIONS, BOSHOFF. 3-15. Boshoff opens the Lions' account, from the kicking tee, after Groom is penalised for straying offside close to his try-line.
23 Steven Kitshoff is pinned for going off his feet at a ruck inside his own 22. Jantjies opts to kick for touch and puts the ball out on WP's five-metre line.
20 Anthony Volmink gathers the ball 10 metres inside his half and goes onto the attack. He offloads to Minnie, who passes to Dylan des Fountain. He throws a wild pass back inside to Minnie who knocks on again.
18 The Lions launch an attack five metres inside WP's half but Minnie knocks on a pass from Jantjies. The home side are battling to get their attacking game going here.
16 PENALTY, WESTERN PROVINCE, COLEMAN! 0-15. Coleman extends the visitors' lead after Britz and Derrick Minnie are penalised for being offside at a ruck.
12 CONVERSION, WESTERN PROVINCE, COLEMAN! 0-12. Kurt Coleman holds his nerve and adds the extras from up against the touchline!
11 TRY, WESTERN PROVINCE, KOLBE! 0-10. Cheslin Kolbe gathers a loose pass inside his half and sets off on a run! He is tackled by two defenders and releases the ball before regathering in a flash. Referee Jaco Peyper allows play to continue and the left win sets off towards the left-hand corner where he touches down. What a try!
8 The Lions try to attack from a line-out 10 metres inside WP's half but Elstadt does well to put pressure on Britz and the second rower knocks on.
6 TRY, WESTERN PROVINCE, DE ALLENDE! 0-5. WP are rewarded for showing their attacking intent when De Allende runs onto a pass from Nic Groom and barges through two tackles before scoring the game's opening points! Coleman misses the conversion.
4 Willie Britz takes the ball into contact but is knocked backwards in the tackle by Rynardt Elstadt and Damian de Allende. WP win a turnover and attack inside the Lions' 22. Juan de Jongh and Aplon both win some metres until De Allende finds himself in space down the left-hand touchline. He goes over the Lions' try-line but puts a foot into touch!
1 And we're off! Elton Jantjies gets the game underway with a deep kick which Gio Aplon gathers inside his 22. He immediately kicks for touch and puts the ball out midway between the halfway line and the Lions' 22-metre line.
0 Elton Jantjies will face his Stormers team-mates after being restored to the Lions starting XV. Jantjies' inclusion is part of a handful of changes from Lions coach Johan Ackermann. Chris van Zyl is ruled out by injury and as a result number eight Willie Britz moves into the second row with Lambert Groenewald taking his place at the back of the scrum. Elsewhere in the loose trio, Warwick Tecklenburg is preferred to Jaco Kriel who drops to the bench. Full-back Chrysander Botha is another injury casualty, with Marnitz Boshoff switching to the number 15 jersey, with Jantjies slotting in at fly-half in his absence. The only other change to the starting line-up is in the front row where CJ van der Linde replaces Jacques van Rooyen.
0 Western Province coach Allister Coetzee has made two changes to his starting XV for this encounter. Nic Groom replaces Louis Schreuder and will make his first start of the season at scrum-half, with the latter dropping to the bench. And up front, Springbok Tiaan Liebenberg swaps with Scarra Ntubeni at hooker, the former also set to make his first run-on appearance in 2013.
0 Hello and welcome to Ellis Park in Johannesburg for this Currie Cup encounter between our hosts, the Golden Lions, and the tournament's defending champions, Western Province. Both sides head into this game full of confidence. The Lions claimed a shock 62-23 win over the Bulls last weekend and WP moved to the top of the table after a narrow 20-19 triumph over Griquas. Don't go away! We'll be back shortly with team news.

The best treatment for any allergy is to take steps to avoid exposure to your triggers. However, molds are common, and you can't completely avoid them. While there's no sure way to cure a mold allergy, a number of medications can ease your symptoms. These include:
- Nasal corticosteroids. These nasal sprays help prevent and treat the inflammation caused by an upper respiratory mold allergy. For many people they're the most effective allergy medications, and they're often the first medication prescribed. Examples include ciclesonide (Omnaris), fluticasone (Flonase), mometasone (Nasonex), triamcinolone (Nasacort AQ), budesonide (Rhinocort Aqua). Nosebleeds and nasal dryness are the most common side effects of these medications, which are generally safe for long-term use.
- Antihistamines. These medications can help with itching, sneezing and runny nose. They work by blocking histamine, an inflammatory chemical released by your immune system during an allergic reaction. Over-the-counter (OTC) antihistamines include loratadine (Alavert, Claritin), fexofenadine (Allegra) and cetirizine (Zyrtec Allergy). They cause little to no drowsiness or dry mouth. Older antihistamines such as clemastine (Tavist-1) work as well, but can make you drowsy, affect work and school performance, and cause dry mouth. The nasal sprays azelastine (Astelin, Astepro) and olopatadine hydrochloride (Patanase) are available by prescription. Side effects of the nasal sprays may include a bitter taste in your mouth and nasal dryness.
- Oral decongestants. OTC oral decongestants include Sudafed and Drixoral. Because oral decongestants can raise blood pressure, avoid them if you have high blood pressure (hypertension). Possible side effects include high blood pressure, insomnia, loss of appetite, heart pounding (palpitations), anxiety and restlessness.
- Decongestant nasal sprays. These include oxymetazoline (Afrin, others). Don't use these medications for more than three or four days, as they can cause congestion to come back with even worse symptoms when you stop using them. Other possible side effects include headache, insomnia and nervousness.
- Montelukast. Montelukast (Singulair) is a tablet taken to block the action of leukotrienes — immune system chemicals that cause allergy symptoms such as excess mucus. It has proved effective in treating allergic asthma, and it's also effective in treating mold allergy. Like antihistamines, this medication is not as effective as inhaled corticosteroids. It's often used when nasal sprays cannot be tolerated, or when mild asthma is present.
Other treatments for mold allergy include:
- Immunotherapy. This treatment — a series of allergy shots — can be very effective for some allergies, such as hay fever. Allergy shots are used for only certain types of mold allergy.
- Nasal lavage. To help with irritating nasal symptoms, your doctor may recommend that you rinse your nose daily with salt water. Use a specially designed squeeze bottle, such as the one included in saline kits (Sinus Rinse, others), bulb syringe or neti pot to irrigate your nasal passages. This home remedy, called nasal lavage, can help keep your nose free of irritants. Use water that's distilled, sterile, previously boiled and cooled, or filtered using a filter with an absolute pore size of 1 micron or smaller to make up the irrigation solution. Also be sure to rinse the irrigation device after each use with similarly distilled, sterile, previously boiled and cooled, or filtered water and leave open to air-dry.

Cuttyhunk Fishing Club (Cape Cod)
From Andover Answers
In 1921 William Wood, president of the American Woolen Company bought the Cuttyhunk Fishing Club. Mr. Wood had been a member of the club, which had been selling the property of the club. Mr. Wood's son sold many of the houses after Wood's death in 1925. The original clubhouse sold in 1943 to Mr. and Mrs. Robert Moore.

"FLAMING YOUTH" WITH CREATIVE TIMENov. 23, 2011
Creative Time went with the theme "Flaming Youth" for its fall fundraiser, held at W.I.P. New York, the recently opened basement-level nightclub on Vandam Street in west SoHo, on Thursday, Nov. 17, 2011. The Creative Time party took its inspiration from the legendary masquerade fests at the Chelsea Arts Club in London, parties that ran until 1959 and were invariably dubbed "the most scandalous event on the social calendar."
"Flaming Youth" did without the brawls and nudity that made its earlier London counterparts so notorious, but it had no shortage of costumed neo-Bohemian merriment. Guests layered on Venetian masks, angel wings and body paint to pose for Polaroid photographs, while DJ Mia Moretti kept the dance floor busy, and party-goers dined on pizza slices plucked from spits carried through the crowd by teams of servers.
Creative Time reports that 300 people attended the party, helping the organization raise $45,000. Check out more of the action in this slideshow. Photos by Billy Farrell Agency.

By Claire Walla
The decision was unanimous. All five members of the Southampton Town Board voted on Tuesday, October 25 to enter into a license agreement with the Mecox Sailing Association which proposes to open a sailing school at the end of Bay Lane in Water Mill.
"I'm very pleased with the actions of the board last night," explained Jeff Mansfield, a Bridgehampton resident who is spearheading the effort to turn the dilapidated site of the old Mecox Yacht Club into a new not-for-profit sailing association.
Members of the newly formed Mecox Sailing Association have waited two years for the Southampton Town Board to finally weigh-in on the issue. But, he continued, "At the same time it's a bit bittersweet."
The Mecox Sailing Association and the town of Southampton have been slapped with a lawsuit by a collection of Water Mill homeowners calling themselves the Mecox Bay Civic Association. The homeowners challenged the legality of the town's wetlands permit, charging that the Mecox Sailing Association should not be allowed to clear away vegetation in a designated wetlands area. (Bram Weber, the lawyer representing the homeowners, could not be reached for comment.)
"It's a frivolous lawsuit," Southampton Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst said. She went on to explain that the lawsuit was brought on by a group of homeowners, most of whom live on Bay Lane, which dead-ends into Mecox Bay.
"This is just a blatant example of [a private group] that happens to have a lot of money behind it," she added,
The proposed Mecox Sailing Association "is a very low-key plan to teach kids from all walks of life to sail," she continued. "The fact that that kind of money gets thrown in[to this scenario], I think is in really poor taste."
Members of the Mecox Bay Civic Association have been fighting the Mecox Sailing Association since its proposed plan for a sailing school was put before the board in 2010. In the past, residents have complained about expected issues with traffic, parking and the school's presumed exclusivity.
Mansfield has rejected these claims.
Though the current lawsuit takes issue with the fact that the town approved the clearing of vegetation in a wetlands area, Throne-Holst added that she believes the town and the Mecox Sailing Association are in the right.
"It's town land, and we got the clearing permit," she added.
For Mansfield, the suit filed against the sailing association and the town has less to do with the sailing school itself, and more to do with what he believes stems from homeowners' efforts to maintain privacy. In fact, it's an issue he said has resonated across the East End in recent months.
"There's been an epidemic recently of individuals trying to block beach access," Mansfield declared.
He pointed to the recent legal fight over a stretch of beach in Nappeague and this summer's clash in Noyac over beach parking.
"It's scary for our little group [the Mecox Sailing Association] because it's quite costly to fight these battles," he added. "We're just a couple of mothers and fathers defending this."
"If we don't come together as a community," Mansfield added, "We're going to lose this access."
Now that the sailing association has finally entered into a license agreement with the town, Mansfield said members will be putting their efforts into raising money to fight the legal battles before them. He said the group has applied for 501c3 status, which he expects to be achieved by year's end. This would make all donations to the Mecox Sailing Association fully tax deductible.
Mansfield explained rather lightheartedly that he and other sailing association members initially expected to have the whole operation up and running last summer. Suffice it to say, the process has been a bit more elongated than he had predicted. And with a lawsuit now in the picture, he said he has no idea how long it will take before the sailing association will actually be able to begin clearing the small patch of land on the bay — if, of course, it wins the lawsuit.
"We're not about to abandon ship here," Mansfield added. "We have only yet begun to fight."

CARSON, Calif. – In my latest feature for LAGalaxy.com, I look at LA Galaxy forward Jack McBean and his experiencing growing up in an LA Galaxy uniform.
The story discusses McBean's rise from a kid, who would watch Manchester United with his father Calum to an 18-year-old, who is contending for minutes for the two-time defending MLS Cup Champions.
Galaxy Associate head coach Dave Sarachan admits that when LA first saw Jack, they knew that they had a player with the physical make-up to succeed; it was simply about filling in the rest.
"When we got Jack, we had the physical outline and the physical body type, but the internal, tactical, and the experience factor needed to continue to build upon each other through training and games," said Sarachan. "Now we're at this point, we have a much more complete player. Far from fully complete, but better in understanding the pace of MLS, connecting, and now it's the final pass and the final shot that needs to count. We've seen a progression, now he needs 10 more percent to get himself at another level."
Below is more from my talk with Jack McBean about his time growing up, his father, and a plethora of other topics. Check it out below…
(On growing up and soccer help from his father…)
MCBEAN: "He was always really supportive. He was my coach in AYSO but then once I got to the club level he kind of backed off a little bit from the coaching side. He was always intense but never in a negative way, he'd be yelling at all the guys on my team just encouraging them. They all love him and he still goes back to their games and does the same thing, so that's pretty funny. "
(On when he knew professional soccer was what he wanted to do…)
MCBEAN: "Probably when I got to high school and had some interest from the national team and knew I was a pretty good player for my age and then the contract came up and it was a no brainer for me."
(On his first soccer memories…)
MCBEAN: "The first thing I remember was playing AYSO on this all-star team and we made it all the way. But I mean I've been playing forever and the games always on at my house, always soccer on the weekends. So yeah, it's in my blood I guess."
(On being 18 and playing alongside players who are married with kids…)
MCBEAN: "It's definitely weird if you really think about it but everyone's got a different scenario that they're in and there's a bunch of young guys out here, a couple guys still live with their family too and there's old guys who have kids who live with them so it's kind of weird if you think about it but it's cool. Everyone can play this game."
(On his first goal before graduating high school, which he did earlier this year…)
MCBEAN: "Yeah that was a good game. We didn't get a good result but our team was really good that year and had the supporters shield locked up so all the youngsters kind of got a chance and luckily I put one in the back of the net. It was cool."
(On playing alongside fellow academy graduates like Jose Villarreal and Oscar Sorto…)
MCBEAN: "It definitely makes it a lot more fun. You know the guys before they're on the team but this is my third year so I know everyone pretty well. Been with most of the guys for over two years now and comfortable with all of them."
(On going from AYSO to playing with Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane…)
MCBEAN: "It's pretty crazy to think about. [Back when I was a kid], I would always watch for those guys on the weekend. Especially Robbie, playing for Leeds and Tottenham and all those EPL teams so it's pretty weird to think about but it's pretty cool."
CARSON, Calif. – Back after a knee infection caused him to miss two training sessions and a reserve match, Kofi Opare is eager to fill the starting spot vacated by Omar Gonzalez, who is currently away on international duty.
Opare has become a regular on LA's game day roster since the start of August and performed well during his first competitive start for the club in their 3-0 victory over C.S. Cartaginés earlier this month. However, Opare was unable to get in the squad in LA's 3-0 win over the San Jose Earthquakes and the subsequent reserve match due to a knee infection called cellulitis.
Even though the injury cost him a reserve league appearance, Opare believes that it didn't hurt his sharpness.
"I'm just glad to be back in training," said Opare. "The good thing was that even with the injury, I was still able to run and even though I wasn't in training, I was still able to do fitness work and keep my sharpness."
It's vitally important that Opare is fit and ready because with Gonzalez away on international duty, the 22-year-old is in the midst of a battle for a starting role with the likes of Tommy Meyer, A.J. DeLaGarza, and possibly even Pablo Mastroeni.
"With Omar gone, the center back is spot and players are competing for that spot. I'm trying to do that same thing so that I can impress the coaches so I get that spot," said Opare. "To be honest, I still go through the same steps that I do every week. I just want to come in with the attitude to work hard and play well in practice. Nothing changes. Now there is a spot and we're all competing, I just want to bring the same attitude."
The highly anticipated World Cup qualifier between the U.S. and Mexico will take place in less than a week at Columbus Crew Stadium, but the U.S. women got the party started early a they put a beat down on their Mexican counterparts 7-0 in a friendly at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C.
Sydney Leroux led the way with four goals while Abby Wambach, Rachel Buehler and Morgan Brian also scored.
Highlights of the match are below...
CARSON, Calif. – As soon as the final whistle sounded on Saturday's 3-0 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes, LA Galaxy goalkeeper Jaime Penedo was already thinking about meeting up with Panama ahead of their vital World Cup qualifier with Jamaica.
Los Canaleros are currently in fifth in the Hexagonal just a point behind Honduras for a spot in a playoff against Oceania champions New Zealand and two points behind Mexico for CONCACAF's final automatic qualifying berth. It is very possible that Panama's next to matches may decide their fate as they host Jamaica on Sept. 6 in Panama City before traveling to Tegucigalpa to take on Honduras five days later.
"First off, we can't give away points at home. We have to continue to get points at home," said Penedo of the game against Jamaica. "That's a big game for us because it's the dream of our nation [to qualify for the World Cup]."
Although the challenge is a tough one, Penedo is confident that Los Canaleros can get the results needed to put them in contention for the nation's first ever World Cup berth.
"Right now, for these two games, we should try to get the full six points to put us in position to qualify," said Penedo. "To be honest, I think that we have the group, the mentality and the confidence to accomplish that goal."
CARSON, Calif. – After helping the LA Galaxy go undefeated in their last five games in all competitions, captain Robbie Keane will now devote his full efforts to helping Ireland qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
The Irish face a pair of decisive games during this international period as they face Sweden in Dublin on Sept. 6 and Austria in Vienna on Sept 10. Currently, Ireland are in fourth place in Group C tied on 11 points with with second place Austria and third place Sweden due to goal difference. Six points from these two matches could put Keane's squad in contention for a spot in UEFA's playoffs as Germany is expected to win the group as they currently top the group with 16 points.
"These games are the make or break for us," said Keane. "It's important that we hopefully get six points. It's going to be tough, but we certainly can't afford to lose the games."
Ireland head coach Giovanni Trapattoni couldn't ask for his captain to be returning to the national team in better form as Keane has scored seven goals and two assists in his last five games with the Galaxy and joins the Irish full of confidence.
"It's good. It's a completely scenario, once I leave [the Galaxy] then I'm 100 percent focused on the national team," Keane said following Saturdays' 3-0 victory where he scored two goals in LA's win. "I'm looking forward to meeting up with the lads and putting on that green jersey again."
LA Galaxy Under-16's Haji Wright and Abraham Romero named to U.S. Under-17 Residency Program for fall semester
LA Galaxy Under-16 forward Haji Wright and goalkeeper Abraham Romero will be among 28 players that will take part in the fall semester of U.S. Under-17 Residency Program, U.S. Soccer announced on Tuesday.
Wright made 20 appearances for the Galaxy Under-16's last season and finished in third in scoring with seven goals. The fall semester marks the start of preparations for the qualifying cycle for the 2015 Under-17 World Cup in Chile. A total of eight players selected by U-17 head coach Richie Williams heading to residency are California natives, which is the most of any state -- six of which are from Southern California.
Also named to the roster is Wright's Academy teammate Abraham Romero, who made 11 appearances last season while playing for LA's U-16 and U-18 squads. Romero was listed by U.S. Soccer as a member of FC Golden State, but is registered under with the Galaxy for the upcoming Development Academy season according to Galaxy Academy Director Peter Vagenas.

For the second time in three weeks, LA Galaxy forward Robbie Keane has been named Player of the Week by the North American Soccer Reporters.
Keane earned the honors after scoring two goals and tallying one assist in LA's 3-0 romp over the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday. The honor is Keane's second Player of the Week award of the season and the fourth for a member of the Galaxy. The Irishman will be unavailable this week for the club's match against the Colorado Rapids due to international duty.
With his two goals, Keane now has 12 goals and 10 assists With double digit goals and assists, Keane joins Landon Donovan (2005), Mauricio Cienfuegos, Cobi Jones & Welton (all 1998) in the Galaxy's double, double club.
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy reserves played to a scoreless draw with the San Jose Earthquakes on Sunday at StubHub Center's University Field.
The complete match recap of the game is on LAGalaxy.com. LA are unbeaten in their last six reserve matches going 4-0-2 in that time. My sidebar on the match, which focuses on the positions up for grabs this week with players away on international duty can be read here.
Although his team remains undefeated in their last six matches, reserve team head coach Curt Onalfo was disappointed with his team's showing.
"It's a game where we should have won the game. We had a majority of the possession, a majority of the chances and we were unable to get through," said Onalfo. "There were a lot of good things. I think that we battled really hard, we worked for each other and except for one moment where they hit the post, we didn't give much away. In a game when you stake our six or seven good chances to their one, you should walk away winning the game. In my mind, we lost two points and it puts the onus on us for the last two reserve games to get the points that we need to win the reserve league."
The Galaxy reserves return to action next Sunday against the Colorado Rapids.
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy are steadily climbing the Western Conference standings and after their 3-0 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes, they sit just five points behind Supporters' Shield leaders Real Salt Lake—with two games in hand.
The reason for LA's impressive four game unbeaten run and three game winning streak in league play? Simple. Forwards Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane.
During the Galaxy's four-game unbeaten streak in league play, Keane and Donovan have accounted for 10 of LA's 11 goals scored, and they have combined for 16 goals and 14 assists in the 11 games that they've played together this season.
On Saturday, they were once again effective as their movement on and off the ball caused havoc for the Earthquakes defense as Donovan scored the opener before Keane notched a brace in the California Clásico victory.
When you ask the pair about their recent run of form, they both provide the same answer: They're just happy to be on the field together.
"I feel real good about how I'm playing. I'm just enjoying it a lot, I'm really happy out there. The energy seems to come to me really easy right now and I think when I'm energetic I create a lot of chances," said Donovan. "It doesn't mean I'm always going to score, but if I'm energetic I think I'm always going to be effective and that's what I'm trying to do right now."
"I know I was out for a few weeks [back in July] but I keep saying I don't like being injured, it's frustrating," said Keane. "So it's just nice to be back playing and scoring the goals and helping the team progress and get the points on the board."
CARSON, Calif. – The California Clásico is always a physical battle with plenty of knocks and bumps on both sides and in the closing stages of Saturday's 3-0 LA Galaxy victory over the San Jose Earthquakes, defender A.J. DeLaGarza felt the brunt of that physical play.
In the 82nd minute, Earthquakes forward Steven Lenhart crashed into DeLaGarza on a set piece opportunity that left the defender on the ground. A minute later, DeLaGarza was removed from the match in favor of Michael Stephens as the effects of the injury still lingered.
Following the match, Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena said that DeLaGarza simply suffered a knock that was not serious and the defender echoed those statements.
"I'll be fine. I'm sure that it'll be a nice Charlie horse in the morning. He got me in my thigh and he clearly went out of his way to do that," said DeLaGarza. "They'll look at it and he's obviously a repeat offender and whatever happens, happens."
Although he literally "took one for the team," DeLaGarza was simply pleased to get a result that sealed LA's fourth straight win and third straight shutout.
"It's big and the confidence is definitely rising. To get a shutout in Vancouver and two at home is positive," said DeLaGarza. "We're all making those plays now that we weren't making earlier in the year.
"We got three points and a shutout where they didn't have many chances on goal so it's a real positive."

Ethernal Flame or Sacred Shield?
Ethernal Flame or Sacred Shield?
Either one works. I've always done SS because it rarely breaks and is worth slightly more DPS wise. But if you're finding you're rotting during silences EF might be your preference.
As for what the required ilevel is, I'm sure people will push this down over the course of the tier; but right now 540 is what you want to be sure of a kill. It's a big change from last patch obviously but everyone will endure.
2 - Yes. You just need help with making you+you raidgroup and alt with lockout have to be a raid-group leader (even if it's offline) to copy the lockout.
Btw. Any infos about twinks doing it post 5.4? Gave it few tries with 85 pala, but all I got was halfway T2@~35% without zerging (that sht hurts since it's not giving vengeance). Sometimes 60-80k veng happens, but it's probably not enough to meet berserk timer.
Some good news for everyone who doesn't have an Paladin alt with iLv 540+:
Finally managed to re-kill him in 5.4.
I did it with iLv 520 - no legendary Meta, no Legendary Cloak or any else.
Pre 5.4 I had about 2 Minutes left for Enrage. I knew that it would be pretty hard now with the vengeance nerf so I prepared my alt with some DPS Stuff.
Started up with Seal of Truth till the first Transition phase and switched to Seal of Insight. Used EF instead of SS.
Used the following Glyph Setup: Focused Shield (So obvious!), Double Jeopardy and Alabaster Shield. I also used Holy Avenger for another DPS CD, and Holy Prism instead of Execution Sentence. Also consumed Flask of Winter's Bite and the 300 BuffFood and Str Potions. In addition I used the new implemented Drums of Rage (25% Bloodlust) twice: Right after the pull, when both of my Trinkets were up, and after you first leave Frostmourne.
I prepared the ghouls to die during the 1st and 2nd phase, killed them some seconds before the 2nd transition ended.
At 12,5% he enraged right after I got teleported back from Frostmourne, used LoH after I dropped to 10% HP due to the silence, popped my 50% CD and killed him.
So yea.. don't give up, guys. It is still doable.
Sadly, Invincible didn't dropped.

Managed to do this with an iLvl of 526. Legendary DPS Cloak and Meta. Only had Str Flask and Haste food, nothing else. Specced Eternal Flame and used Seal of Truth during Phase 1, switched to Insight in Phase 2. Ghouls were all dead before Phase 2 started from the cloak, and a couple concencrates. Had 20 seconds left on enrage. Just focused LK the whole fight, only switching to kill Icy Spheres.
The fights how it was back when I started doing it at ~510 iLvl. Requires a bit of luck on the silences to be successful.
Also, it was only 30th kill, so I consider myself lucky. I've been farming Anzu and Attumen far longer (and on multiple chars) and they still refuse to drop their stuff.
526 Ilevel, and can't get passed 20% before zerker. Man, such a difference. I was killing multiple times before nerfs
This is my signature. It states my prediction of the next expansion. Not only is it correct in my eyes, but should also be in yours too.
Anyone who doesn't agree with me is an idiot, a bad, and a pleb.
- A Quote from every narcissistic, defiant, self-absorbed theorist on these forums. True story.
Hello, guys, since I didn't fine next information at the 1st post, I would like to ask you here about it how to be done these days. I don't have time for serious pve but I'm able to save 1 k valors every week:
1. Is it possible to solo 25 hc being geared to 522 valor prot gear + rest pieces for justice (not purchasabel for VP) + pvp shield + pvp 1 handler? And should I upgrade this gear 2/2?
2. A sub-question - is it possible to get somewhere any modern epic pve tank weapon + shield apart 25 LFR? Just don't have time for it
3. Should I use crusader strike to do most damage straight to LK or this aoe 25% weapon strike all the way?
4. 90 tier talent - what is the best, self-target Prism or rest 2?
5. 60 tier talent - still HA or may be Divine Purpose?
6. Can it be done this way - I ask random players to buff me +5% stats, stamina, 5% crit from a monk and rush inside cleared ICC? A bit noobish question but I don't really know if I keep these buffs saved once Im in
And a question I never really understood but its an offtopic one: why Riposte isn't given to prot palas?
Thanks a lot
Just downed him as ret at 546 ilevel. I had been one-shotting this for weeks as prot before 5.4. Took about six months off and just came back to the game in January, and I've been unable to do it as prot since then.
Set up for single target DPS, although I glyphed Divine Storm because it provides a good bit of healing during the first two phases. The main changes from prot were just that you kill the Raging Spirits and stay up on the steps to the throne during transitions instead of following him to the center, and use Seal of Truth whenever no spirits are up or you feel comfortable. I had to use LoH once. Had over two minutes left before the enrage.
So in current gear levels (I'm normal geared) would it be easier to solo Heroic Lich King as prot or ret?
anyone else getting oneshotted by harvest soul inside Frostmourne room for 1000 mil dmg. doesn't happen all the time.
Sounds like ghouls left alive on the platform.
nah just killed it now, 2 min left on enrage, had ghouls up all the time.
Massive difference when i swapped all my gems to pure strenght. As much strenght as possible makes so much difference.

Nathan Woessner, 6, was buried for more than 3 hours by as much as 11 feet of sand July 13 when a sinkhole opened on Mount Baldy at the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore in Michigan City, Ind.
The boy was hospitalized at the University of Chicago Medicine Comer Children's Hospital in critical condition with injuries to his lungs from inhaling sand. Doctors said he didn't suffer any brain or neurological damage but still needs some rehabilitative therapy.
The hospital issued a statement Wednesday saying Nathan had been released late Tuesday, WBBM, Chicago, reported.

The nearly 300 million egg-laying hens in our country live in cages that afford each hen just 67 square inches of space—smaller than a sheet of paper. That's outrageous!
Last year, a bipartisan group of U.S. representatives introduced a bill in the House promising egg-laying hens better living conditions. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), along with senators from both sides of the aisle, recently introduced a companion measure in the Senate. This important bill needs your support!
The Egg Products Inspection Act Amendments of 2012 would increase the amount of space given to laying hens (they're currently so cramped that most cannot even stretch their wings), and allow them to do some of the things chickens love doing: perching, dust-bathing and nesting. Plus, various inhumane practices would be banned. This is a major step forward! The bill would also require that egg cartons disclose the standards under which the eggs were produced so consumers know what they're buying.
Take Action!
This bill is a common-sense measure supported by the United Egg Producers, the American Veterinary Medical Association and various consumer and animal welfare groups, including the ASPCA. And right now, our nation's hens need your support, too. Please contact your senators today and ask them to co-sponsor S. 3239 to provide better lives for egg-laying hens!
People that treat animals poorly should have the same done to them.
Giving them extra space is such a small sacrifice. It's the least they deserve.
Stop the abuse of egg laying chickens!!!!
Egg-laying hens live in cruel and inhumane conditions. They should live in larger cages where they can ove around and engage in activity they would engage in under normal circumstances.
Egg-laying hens live in cruel and inhumane conditions. They should live in larger cages where they can ove around and engage in activity they would engage in under normal circumstances.
Hens deserve room to spread their wings!
Please help the animals have better lives while they are here!
Just because they are food shouldnt mean they have to endur crappy treatment
Hens deserve room to spread their wings!
Hens deserve room to spread their wings!

The following directory structures should be supported by NMaven
1. Multi-module Projects
Multi-module project with a parent pom containing one or more modules, then a subdirectory for each module, which equates to a VS "project". The .sln file sits beside the parent pom, and each subdirectory contains a .csproj, pom.xml and source code. Source code is not typically put in a subdirectory under the module, but it might be. NUnit test code may be within each module in a directory named "Tests", or it may be in a separate module.
C:\PROJECTS\MYSOLUTION │ MySolution.sln │ pom.xml │ ├───MyClassLibrary │ │ Class1.cs │ │ Class2.cs │ │ Class3.cs │ │ Class4.cs │ │ MyClassLibrary.csproj │ │ pom.xml │ │ │ └───Properties │ AssemblyInfo.cs │ ├───MyClassLibraryTest │ │ MyAppTest.cs │ │ MyClassLibraryTest.csproj │ │ pom.xml │ │ │ └───Properties │ AssemblyInfo.cs │ └───MyConsoleApplication │ MyConsoleApplication.csproj │ pom.xml │ Program.cs │ └───Properties AssemblyInfo.cs
2. Flat Single Module Project
Flat structure with pom.xml, .sln, .csproj and source code all in the same directory. Source code is not typically put in a subdirectory under the module, but it might be. If present, NUnit test code should be in a directory named "Tests", which is not packaged in the main artifact. See note below about "nested" projects. The "flat" structure is only supported as a single project with no sub-modules, for projects of type 'library' (dll) and 'exe'.
C:\PROJECTS\FLATSINGLEMODULE │ Class1.cs │ FlatSingleModule.csproj │ FlatSingleModule.sln │ pom.xml │ └───Properties AssemblyInfo.cs
3. Visual Studio Web Site Project
Visual Studio "Web Site" (File -> New -> Web Site) project with .sln file copied into the project directory and modified to normalize paths. NMaven will build a zip file containing the aspx files and compiled dlls (in a bin/ directory). Note: There is an issue with building this type of project twice in a row: you must 'clean' before building again.
C:\PROJECTS\WEBSITE2 │ Default.aspx │ Default.aspx.cs │ WebSite2.sln │ pom.xml │ └───App_Data
4. Visual Studio ASP.NET Web Application
Visual Studio "ASP.NET Web Application" (File -> New -> Project, "ASP.NET Web Application"). Structure is similar to (1) with a parent pom and .sln file at the top, plus a subdirectory for each project/module. NMaven should build a .zip file as in (3) containing pages and dlls.
C:\PROJECTS\MYPROJECT │ MyProject.sln │ pom.xml │ └───MyWebApplication │ Default.aspx │ Default.aspx.cs │ Default.aspx.designer.cs │ pom.xml │ MyWebApplication.csproj │ Web.config │ ├───bin ├───obj │ └───Debug │ └───TempPE └───Properties AssemblyInfo.cs
Note: Some versions of NMaven have limited support for a "nested" project-within-project structure with source code in the parent directory. This structure will have a .sln and .vbproj file at the top, then directories for additional modules beneath, each containing a .vbproj file. This structure is NOT RECOMMENDED and not likely to be fully supported by Maven tools such as the Release plugin.
TODO: ASP.NET Web Service Application
TODO: ADO.NET project structure
NOTE: In the examples, .vbproj and .csproj are interchangeable, each structure should work for any language, and a solution may be composed of different modules using different languages. In addition, tests within a module may be written in a different language than the main artifact.
5 Comments
For Visual Studio we should put a 'Test' directory in the main module, thus allowing main and tests classes to be in single project. When NMaven compiles the main artifact, it will leave out the test classes.
Visual Studio seems to use plurals (Properties, References). Can we use "Tests" instead? (Is this hard-coded in NMaven, or does it look at the value of <testSourceDirectory> ?)
Sure 'Tests' would be fine. As I recall, it's configurable through the pom, but hard-coded in the VS Addin.
Thanks, I'll open an issue to see if we can align the two and make them both use the same configuration.
What will happen when building in Visual Studio, then? How will it know not to include the Test source code when packaging the library?
The solutions I'm looking at are using a separate project for the tests. (Separate directory with .csproj file.)
I put the layouts that the VS Addin is expected to support into a separate section.
Currently for (1) it is generating two .csproj files, one for the code and one for the tests. But Maybe that is incorrect, and (1) and (3) are actually the same thing.

The West Point High School boys basketball team wrapped up another solid camp last week at Itawamba Community College.
With three teams in the field, the Green Wave had plenty of chances to showcase their talents on the floor against some of the top teams in the region including Okolona, Tupelo, Hamilton and Shannon.
"We had a really exciting camp this year," said ICC head men's basketball coach Marty Cooper. "There were a lot of great games and some surprising upsets, but overall it was a very competitive and fun brand of basketball to watch." Tupelo would go on to defeat Shannon 57-40 in the finals.
"We played okay. There are some things we needed to work on," second year head coach Brad Cox said Monday. "Like not taking plays off and just make sure everybody is putting the same effort on defense and rebounding."
Cox, who is in his fourth season overall at West Point, says he was pleased with the overall performance over the last few weeks and glad to get some of the athletes back into basketball shape.
"The summer gives us a chance to get those 9th and 10th graders, some of the guys that didn't play a whole lot during the season some game experience," he said. "You hear basketball IQ talked about on the television all the time, but the only way your going to get that is to play games."
This summer, the Green Wave have tried to hit the floor as often as they could and playing some tough teams along the way; Noxubee, Louisville and Nettleton to name a few. With such a long window of absence from season to season, Cox says practice can only do so much when it comes to getting the boys ready for a grueling winter campaign.
"The seasons doesn't start until November," he said. "That's a long to time to go just practicing. The more games you can play, the better because you get in the routine of practicing and it's good to play some other teams. Sometimes you can't see what you need to work on, until you start playing other teams."
One of the biggest problems for West Point Cox says is that there are times throughout the games where players might not be 100 percent focused on the task at hand; one might be lost on the offense possession and then another not get back and play defense.
"I'm just trying to get everybody to play every possession like it means something," Cox said. "We have to get that killer instanct. We have to try and put teams away and not let them hang around." Offesnsivley, Cox says he wants the team to be more open to sharing the ball often.
"Learning how to run the offense comes with time, that's why these summer games are so important." he said.
West Point returns six seniors this season from a team that finished 13-14 with a 4-2 district mark last year led by Cortez Malone, who Coz described as someone who can just do a little bit of everything on the floor and probably the team's best defensive player.
6'8 Tyrone Saverson returns for another campaign at the post after playing high school ball for the first time his junior season. Cox says he has greatly improved over the summer and is one they will depend on a lot. The Green Wave will no doubt have their share of big men to battle with this fall.
Sophomore point guard AJ Jones also had an impressive camp and looks to improve on a successful freshman season.
The Green Wave will be back on the court Tuesday against Vardaman and then Thursday versus Nettleton.View more articles in:
