All hail XerJoff!
I know that moon_fish is another enthusiast of this high-end Italian perfume line, but are there any others whom have had the pleasure of exploring this range? As far as impeccably-crafted and presented perfumes go, XerJoff are industry leader IMO.
Here's a bit of background on the three XerJoff XJ Collections for those that are interested in learning a bit more (by the way, Im not affiliated, just enthusiastic):
XerJoff 17 / 17
Elle: A delicious female oriental (raspberry macaroon,rose, jasmine,patchouli, leather, coumarin).
Homme: A debonair leather, (comprising leather, rose and iris). Read my blog here on this one.
Irisss: Iris Indulgence (iris butter, rose, jasmine, ylang ylang, violet, vetiver and cedar).
XXY: Fruity floral sprinkled with spices (bergamot, peach, ylang, jasmine, iris, black pepper, chocolately patchouli, vanilla and vetiver).
These four perfumes are presented in either individually-numbered hand-blown Murano glass bottles, or flacons fashioned from solid quartz stones.
XerJoff Shooting Stars
Shingl: An aromatic floral (aniseed, vetiver, patchouli, iris, amber and vanilla)
Esquel: Floral fougere (lemon, lavender, myrtle, orange blossom, rose pepper)
Dhajala: Green semi-oriental (galbanum, jasmine, rose pepper)
Modoc: Spicy Chypre (aristocratic chypre, carnation, soft leather)
Uden: Marine fougere (sea-spray accord, bergamot, cumarin)
Dhofar: Oriental chypre (citrus, resins, carnation, patchouli, sandalwood)
Kobe: A bright floral (orange, bergamot, petitgrain, neroli, oud, palisander wood)
Ibitira: Woody powdery flowers (lemon, petitgrain, neroli, rose, iris, cedar, vetiver, vanilla, musk)
This line is inspired by a meteorite shower that fell to earth in Eastern Siberia, Russia in 1947. Each scent has been created to reflect the special nature of this event, and a fragment of meterorite has been placed in each laquered wooden box together with the perfume bottle.
Casamorati 1888 (XerJoff Vintage)
Mefisto: An Italian oriental (grapefruit, lemon, bergamot, lavender, rose, florentine iris, cedar, sandalwood, musk and amber).
Fiore d'Ulivo: A fresh floral (citrus, lotus flower, olive blooms, jasmine, magnolia, amber and musk).
This is an Heirloom collection of scents that recreates the history of a glorious fragrance house founded in Italy between the 18th and 19th centuries.
I'm slowly working my way through some of these, and am taken by the "maximalist" approach to some in the collection, and the delicate sensitivity at play with others.
I am personally a big fan of Homme, Irisss and Fiore d'Ulivo!
I'd love to hear anyone else's experiences with these.

those bottles look exquisite and the reviews, mouthwatering!
Dimi - could you compare their style with any other house that most would be familiar here?
btw, is it pronounced "jerk-off?"

I'm interested in several of their fragrances. A while back I emailed them to see if they did any samples, but I have never heard anything back. I wasn't really expecting a response, because what I've heard of their prices seems to indicate that they might be in the "if you need to sample, you can't afford it" price range. I've found that quite a lot of houses are willing to send out samples directly, so I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.
I don't know what they actually cost, though.
Twitter - @DanielTharp
DanielTharp.com has additional reviews and commentary.
Always be content with what you have, never be content with what you are.
I believe the 'X' is pronounced like a 'Z' instead therefore Xerjoff is like 'Zirh- Joff' with an emphasis on the 'J'. They are truly magnificent creations and for the money, I would prefer this line to good old Mr Christian. Have tried some of the fragrances and the cheaper bottles come in Murano glass bottles of 50 ml EDP (I think?) with an elaborate presentation box are close to 400 pounds a bottle at Harrods. I was soooooooooo close to getting a bottle of either Modoc or Dhofar (can't remember which one now) but decided not to in the end - may not be able to hold off if I am confronted with a bottle next time - they are indeed impressive both in fragrance and presentation, truly opulent and they are not afraid to flaunt it. They do make bottles carved out of crystal and quartz - don't know how much perfume they contain (not very much, I believe) - but unless there is an enormous surplus of funds, it is pure fantasy obtaining these particular bottles - just let your imagination run wild with the price .....
XerJoff's target market at the moment is exclusive boutiques in Russia, Italy, France and the UK (Roja Dove carries this line), and definitely represents the absolute high end of the market.
I dont have exact prices, but depending on the collections, they vary greatly... here are some ballparks supplied to me by a distributor. I hope you're sitting down.
The Shooting Stars collection are priced around €400 (50ml).
As for the Murano/Quartz collections: anywhere from around 600€ for the 15ml Muranos, up to about €2000 for the 45ml, and between 7000€ and 12000€ for a 12ml bottle fashioned from quartz. These are also presented on a hand-carved ebony base, and decorated in gold and rubies.
I don't have prices on the Casamorati line yet, as they are due to be launched soon.
Jaw-dropping prices to match their stunning presentations, no?
The scents themselves though, are on an even par with the presentations... quality materials and wonderful compositions. There are no specific scents on the market that I can liken those I've tried to.
As far as samples are concerned, I think they have press samples only which are in a very generous 10ml plain bottles (see pic). As far as I know samples have not been produced for the open market.

I had the pleasure of sampling some of the Shooting stars line in Roja Dove's Harrods perfumery (I think the sales assistant pronounced it Zehr-hoff) but am struggling to remember which of Shingl, Dhajala and Dhofar I admired most. Sounds like an excuse for another visit
I was drooling over your samples the first time you posted about them, and I guess I'm not surprised if they only do press samples. Maybe one day I'll get to try them in person somewhere.
Oh dear - I can't speak about the fragrances themselves, though they sound lovely, but I think visual tastes must be really different in the east these days - this is just a matter of personal taste I guess as it is directly contrary to your own assesment, but to my eyes that is *the* worst graphic design and packaging design I have ever seen!
The bottles with the greek sculpture relief heads look like fast food soft drink containers for happy meals with the garish colours, sippy-cup hats, and badly designed crests (I like the sculpture heads though) while the Xerjoff logo itself looks like an ill-concieved teenage heavy metal band logo. Even the singular X has an unappealing shape... I love quartz and crystal bottles, but it seems almost like a joke to waste those materials on these McDonalds designs! Maybe that is part of the conspicuous consumption appeal or something? The choice of backgrounds and surfaces and photography is also in extremely poor taste in my opinion! It all reeks of cheapness and lack of aesthetic sensibility.
Amouage did a great job with their wastefully expensive bottles - those make you feel like you're shelling out big money for something well crafted and refined, something hand made with centuries of tradition behind it - these bottle just scream garish conspicuous consumption and faddishness to me.

Sa Majesté La Rose
I forgot to add some links to various XerJoff sites - here you get a better idea of the craftsmanship behind the bottles etc.
Hi, Dimitri
I`m glad that you made that Official thread of Xerjoff.
I don`t know where did you get those `official` notes, as I`ve got different pyramides in my computer.
If someone is interested, I`ll put my notes here.
As for the Murano and quartz bottles - the flacons carries about 25-35 ml. Sizes differs as they are hand-crafted. Buyer will get not only empty luxurious bottle, but also 50 ml of perfume in frosted glass refill. That`s the info I got in Moscow (Douglas-Rivoli is their Russian partner). And Xerjoff is going pretty good in Moscow - as presents to partners, to lovers and spouses, etc. New Year and Mother-Father days gives more profits, than a whole year.
2Gaivs I Caesar:
Tastes are different - some prefer Amouage new design, some prefer Amouage old design, and some will choose just plain Amouage tester.
I would never pay for the luxurious bottle - I prefer juice and like to wear the perfume.
BUT - if someone would present quartz bottle to me, I could not resist. I like the style, I like the design and the idea. I do not mind golden X, I like quartz and craftsmanship. It is really hard to make those flacons, and I appreciate that work.
As for the juices.
They are very different to praise every perfume by Xerjoff.
I like Homme 17-17 very much - it is true leather scent, full of birchtar and it has flowers and balms to enrich it. I do not like Femme 17-17 - oriental flowers and berries are not my cup of tea. And XXY too.
Irisss is marvellous. I got some similarities of Irisss with some iris limited edition by Christian Dior - Passage 8, if I remember correctly, from John Galliano trio (Collection Particuliere) launched 2007 year. Orris, carrot seeds absolute, etc.
From Meteorites collection I do like KOBE. But I`d never call it a bright flowery. It is very high-quality citrus cologne that goes into smoky eastern temple (my wife called it jossticks - well, patchouly, sandalwood, maybe vetiver and guaiac wood - but I never detected oud here!). And it stays very fresh all the time - and reminds me something that was with me all my life, some friend or landscape.
I do like Modoc - it`s vetiver plus orris, giving impression of paper. Maybe carnation too (but this note usually gives me feeling of soap and soar powder instead of paper).
Dhofar is close to fir-needled Yatagan, while having some spicy oriental sillage.
Casamorati line would impress everyone who like modern combination `rose+tea` and Silver Mountain Water by Creed.
As far as I know - some perfumes were made by Jacques Flori (Robertet) who made some great Etro perfumes. LT and TS wrote some respects to his work.
And some more info from PR - Robertet used some exclusive co-distillation products (Tonkiphora and Miroswellia balsams, for instance) and some fractionated natural oils (Lavender, Ylang, Patchouly, Vetiver) for those perfumes.
Also - and nobody will approve or disprove it - the perfume concentrate itself priced from 5 to 10 times more than usual perfumes. (euro per kg). So juice IS TRULY PRECIOUS (especially compared with usual luxury brands of LVMH).
Vetiver The Great!!!
The official notes I have are from the brand new printed XerJoff brochure supplied to me by their French Distributor. They are taken from the individual printed descriptions of the scents - not from a pyramid breakdown. If you have other material listing other notes, I would be interested to see them too, so yes, please post what you have.
Your insights on the Casamorati line are sound... Mefisto has a Silver Mountain Water vibe to it, but Fiore d'Ulivo is more a soapy floral scent with tons of old-world charm.
I looked at the website and the bottles and the graphic design in general is a whole lot better than on the ads above, at least in my opinion. They bottles look alot more "real" and have a serious presence too them. Just goes to show that you can have a good looking product and make it look bad with crappy graphic designers!
Parfums d'Empire: Fougére Bengale

OK, Dimitri,
Seems to me, they have different PR products - or maybe they are to change their PR materials.
My documents are old PR.
XJ 17-17 Homme
Top: Bergamot, lemon, orange, mandarin, grapefruit, caraway, tarragon, ginger.
Heart: Lavender, rose, Lisylang (Robertet fraction of Ylang oil), orris, clove.
Base: Atlas cedar, amber, australian sandalwood, vanilla, Vetiver Coeur (Robertet fraction of vetiver oil), birchtar, musk.
XJ 17-17 Elle
Top - bergamot, lily of the valley, neroli, galbanum
Heart - jasmine, rose, orris, Atlas cedar, Patchouly Coeur (Robertet fraction of patchouli oil), Lysilang (Robertet fraction of Ylang oil), leather accord, woody accord
Base - coumarin, amber, Tonkiphora Baume (Robertet codistillation product of opopanax and benjoin), musk
Top - Bergamot, grapefruit, peach
Heart - Ylang-ylang, jasmine, orris, black pepper
Base - Patchouli, vetiver, Mysore sandalwood, labdanum, vanilla, musk
XJ Irisss
Top - Carrot seeds absolute, bergamot, carnation
Heart - orris, rose, jasmine, ylang, violet leaves
Base - vetiver, Virginian cedar, benjoin, musk, frankincense.
(Sorry for the list not full - I`m slow interpreter & typer. I`m going to find out flash-card with the PR and copy-paste it tomorrow)
Vetiver The Great!!!
Wow - those seem to be much more elaborate than these that I have here, and I dare say probably accurate breakdowns too. I wonder what combination of accords in the pyramid you've listed creates the distinct leather note in 17/17 Homme?
If you'd like, I can scan the new brochure and make a pdf of it, just so you can see its lovely presentation and descriptions. Just shout and I will do it and email it across to you.
Thanks for taking the time to list them above!
Seems to me, the one and only true leather note listed in XJ 17-17 Homme is Birch Tar (somewhere from Scandinavia). They listed it in basenotes, but it sings all the time through the perfume development.
It is supported by Ylang and Florentian Orris in manner of Cuir de Russie (Chanel).
But I feel like XJ Homme is Knize Ten, a fleur de peau Keikomecheri or Etro Gomma orchestrated without any restrictions in budget. So it`s simphony instead of pop-song (sorry, K10 lovers, it is just my opinion!).
I have no need in pdf-brochure, I prefer smells, letters and numbers to pictures; but maybe it could be useful for other BNoters here?
Vetiver The Great!!!
That's a very good point, perhaps I will scan it and provide downloads from my blog.
Cheers again!

So the question will be: to appreciate the simphony with a adequate BOSE hi-fi equipment or to listen to the pop song with a MP3 Player. Or sometimes this, sometimes that...
I've been wanting to make a post ever since this thread was posted. Finally came around to it LoL!
I bought two Xerjoff's from Roja Dove Haute Parfumerie last summer. The presentation boxes with the perfume were 400 pounds and had an actual piece of meteorite. Their refills (50ml EDP) were 95 pounds. I got the refills The first one I bought was Uden. First of all it's very masculine, bought it immediately grabbed my attention. It has bitter topnotes, probably from the grapefruit, and a lemony-vanilla drydown. Come to think of it now, it has an incredible likeness to Habit Rouge Sport. But I found myself not liking it after a couple of months and I find it now very generic. So I gave it to my dad (his favorite frag is Allure Homme Sport) so he like it without a doubt
The other perfume I bought was Dhajala. I'm sniffing it now, and it shares a strong resemblance to Uden, but with a feminine twist. The bitter topnotes are still there but it changes somewhere during the midnotes to a fresh oriental. I don't like it as much as though.
These two Xerjoff's are decent, but they're nothing special. In fact, they bordering on generic. Unfortunately, that ended my interest in the brand
EDIT: Uden is a near dead-ringer for Sculpture (one of my most hated frags!)

Meanwhile, in London, Clive Christian is revisiting his tag line of "The World's Most Expensive Perfume."
Though I'm sure if he put his juices in gold and diamond-encrusted cases, he can regain the title!
About Dhajala. I found it as strong feminine perfume, exactly like you described: fresh oriental.
I`d say - vibrating fresh but nevertheless sweet ambery oriental - while it does not smells like classic, it surely cannot be just a humble wallflower trying to disappear from the sight.
Vetiver The Great!!!
So how is the packaging in regards to these scents... specifically the meteorite collection. Also, refills were mentioned above. Are these bottles refillable and are the refills in face 95 pounds. I am going to paris and than london next week and will finally get a chance to go to Harrods and the roja dove boutique and try these. I cant wait.

Cairomerta, in Roja Dove, try and talk with Clement - he is the European Xerjoff rep, and truly knows his stuff.
is the strength of the scents EDT, EDP or Parfum?

Mlt, they are all EDP.
Ausliebezumduft are now stocking some of this line (with the exception of the Casamorati scents), and samples are also available. (Perhaps you might wanna sit down first before clicking on the link).
I 've been meaning to ask for a long time..... Can any fragrance be worth that kind of money or is it just a russin nouveau riche thing?

But for the record, the scents are lovely. Its the bottles and the prestige that you're paying for.
Why would a perfumeur sell his perfume with pretty bottles and inflate the price so much that even perfume lovers are frightend off? Do you even care about being a perfumeur and people loving your art, or not.
It´s like publish or perish and in case the publishing bit is scared you make sure you publish but still immunize yourself to critique by inflating the price so much a lot of people won´t be able to get their hands on it.
But once you get locked into a serious perfume collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.
True... I imagine that this scent is marketed more towards a whole other echelon of fragophiles.
Those who fly around in private jets.
Vetiver The Great!!!
I got a chance to try these at harrods last week. Really nice scents and really nice bottles and presentations. I ended up buying the full presentation of Kobe which was around £370. Pricey...yes. But it smelled really nice and will make a nice rare addition to my collection. Very good quality scents I must say. Pleased with my purchases.

If you see this, please be warned that my wardrobe is woefully out of date. It may never be updated. Feel free to ask any questions you may have, but be warned!
Nobody could predict all the negative connotations - Ibitira does not sound good in Russian, for example.
Anyway, here XXY (as in Boss frags) means that the scent is devoted to androgyne, either man and woman, referring to a ancient Greek legend of beautiful Hermafrodit.
Vetiver The Great!!!
I finally got to visit Harrods for the first time and purchased 3 scents. Uden and Modoc from the shooting stars collection. I bought the Kobe full presentation bottle via the internet on First in fragrance. That was $570. Well worth it. These really are amazing scents. I also got to try and received samples of Iriss, home and XXY from the really expensive line and those are absolutely amazing. They are expensive samples to be sure but at least you get 2.5ml of them. This is a really fascinating line and am really happy to be able to have 3 of them. The full presentation bottles of the shooting stars scents are amazing. Beautiful boxes, and equally beautiful caps made of heavy solid brass.

Cairomerta, did you seek out Clement in Harrods as advised?
I did but he wasn't there. Only marcel was there who was really a great guy. They really take their time with you over there. Never in a hurry.
This line really is great. Irisss is an iris lovers dream. I think it may be one of the best I have ever smelled.
metallic, cold and powdery like Iris Silver Mist
citrusy, dry and powdery like Iris Bleu Gris
powdery as HELL like Teint de Neige
aldehydic, powdery fruity like Iris Poude
or gourmandy like Iris Ganache
I think you covered it really well Scent!!!! This Xerjoff Irisss has so many things going on with it. Its crazy. Just like you wrote , its the best of all the above put into one scent. With a price tag of all those combined too!! It starts off sharp and metallic and than blends into the softest milkiest scent ever. Absolutely stunning!
Last edited by cairomerta; 18th June 2009 at 09:42 PM.
My take is that it also starts out a bit metallic, but then diffuses into something wonderfully buttery and gourmand-like. The "powder" aspect is kept in check though. Very sophisticated, and totally addictive.
Anyone know when the Xerjoff Casamorati line will be released. Also, can any one of our wonderful basenoters who have tried it, please expand just a tiny bit more on your impressions of these two Casamorati scents and how they smell, especially them mens. Thanks!
I have just PM'd you.
I may do a blog on Fiore d'Ulivo later this week if i find the time.
Thank you very much Dimitri!. I really hope you do a blog entry on this cause this is such a rare line that I think everyone really needs to explore. Their scents are amazing and i hope you can enlighten us all more on their line! Thanks!!
Can anyone of you Xerjoff-lovin guys tell me how large are the samples at first-in-fragrance are, and can we order the juice without the presentation (specifically Irisss)?
Hi Scent.
The samples at first in fragrance for all Xerjoff scents are 2.5 ml spray samples. And they arrive in 10 days.
In regards to the prices, the scents that can be purchased without the presentations are the meteorite collection. They are known as the refills. These can be purchased from Harrods Roja Dove boutique. I am not sure if FIF sells just the scent refills. They come in a normal small box like any other scent and have no cap and they are £95 . The full presentation comes in an amazing wooden box with the cap as seen above and a really nice leather band that wraps vertically on the bottle itself. When you buy the refill, you just take off the cap and the leather band and put it on the new refill bottle. I bought the refills of Modoc and Uden and the full presentation of the Kobe scent and it came with a red alligator leather band on it.
Regarding the expensive 17/17 scents like Irisss and Homme and XXY, these do come in just the refill bottles which are very expensive. Roja dove told me that they are £600 for 35ml. But if you buy the the Irisss and XXY in the large murano bottles, each one is hand blown and also with the bottle you get 3 x 50ml refills. Priced at £1200.
Roja dove takes orders over the phone and they ship very fast!
I hope this helps!!
Last edited by cairomerta; 28th July 2009 at 05:08 AM.
I think I'll go with an Irisss sample first and if I do enjoy it, I'll just order more. That 1200 pound bottle sure sounds tempting though (180 of Parfum )
Time will tell...time will tell
Actually it is only 150ml total as the bottle comes empty. You get the 3 x 50ml of perfume on the side. Still a good amount of pure perfume for sure though!!!
Vetiver The Great!!!
Now XJ is going to relaunch it with glass bottles - in September, I believe.
(Contact me if you want to test it so much that will swap for it)
Vetiver The Great!!!

The biggest event on the luxury hotel industry calendar attracted the who's who of the prominent hoteliers all over the world. Kanuhura, 5 star Hideaway Island in the Maldives, Indian Ocean was honored within a wide range of selection of the best hotels in the world. Kanuhura won recognition due to its continuous deliver of excellence and exceptional service.
"Our belief is that service excellence is the most critical factor in a hotel's measure as a luxury hotel and that winning a World Luxury Hotel Award based on this factor would enhance performance levels if industry peers can be judged against other major players in the field. We can always learn from one another and be inspired to greater levels of excellence meaning exceeding customer's expectations and paying attention to details", said by Marinique de Wet, Director of the World Luxury Hotel Awards during this annual red-carpet Gala event.
France24, the event news network Media Partner Commercial Distribution Director Mr. Olivier Mortier commented "It is truly an honor for us to be associated with the World Luxury Hotel Awards organization celebrating the successes of this highly competitive industry. The organization gives senior industry decision-makers the opportunity to celebrate their achievements whilst creating a wonderful platform for VIP's network".
The World Luxury Hotel Awards stands testimony to dedication, enthusiasm and leadership in the high demand of luxury hotel industry. It also aimed to maintain overall service excellence by building staff moral since success is combined effort of a hotels' entire team.
Kanuhura's General Manager himself Mr. Vladimir Scanu has welcomed this truly inspiring global recognition as a clear evident of his management and family members focus on excellent service quality. On his interview with France24, he said: "To have been recognized as Best Private Luxury Resort in the entire World amongst other globally competitive high end properties and International recognized luxury hotels brands, it is a delightful pride.
To lead such a Team of Professionals in Kanuhura who yet again have supported me over the past year with admirable hard work and committed passion is a rare privilege.
I expect all our Team Members to Improvise and Innovate and expect to be fully engaged in any possible steps in the customer's interactions beyond satisfaction. Our core values represent the foundation of everything WE DO and everything WE ARE. With this in mind and in the heart we devote ourselves to provide our guests nothing less than outstanding and memorable lifetime experiences. We at Kanuhura believe that "What we leave behind in not what is engraved instead what is woven into the lives of our people and our customers". All we know is that the answer is Yes but what is the question…..? We have installed a customer-driven and focused culture attitude. All I can say is that we at Kanuhura truly value the principle of genuine hospitality in which we all individually take by heart the development of our People to blossom to become true and fine future Hoteliers"
Mrs. De Wet added "You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world but it takes dedicated and passionate people to make it happen and establish unique characteristics that differentiate outstanding service oriented hotels from mediocre ones and Kanuhura has definitely demonstrated to be above its competitors".

A versatile haircut can save money and offer numerous styling opportunities.

Short hairstyles need to be trimmed regularly which make hair damage less of a problem, meaning you can afford to experiment more with different color effects, especially with bold, bright shades. For short haircuts the best hair color option is the all-over, block shade. Regular highlights can look weird and unbalanced on shorter hairstyles, that's why the coloring technique called 'glazing' is used where random sections of hair are backcombed and a toner is placed on the rest of the hair. The result is more subtle than by other h... Read More

Many parents opt for some basic, really simple haircuts, others attempt the latest haircut trends. However, we have to keep in mind that it is equally important for our kids to like their new look and feel comfortable with it. There is no need to consider complicated hairstyles that require a lot of time to maintain. Moms are usually busy and children are impatient to sit in one place for long. Therefore, when it comes to your kids' hairstyle, think about a practical, simple, but also stylish haircut that makes them look neat and sty... Read More
Numerous celebrities opted for inverted bob haircuts over the past years. The inverted bob haircut basically consists of an asymmetric cut, which is usually shorter in the back than in the front. In fact, inverted bob switches up the classic, same length bob, thus giving the name to this style. It is easy to maintain and it's definitely one of the sexiest, most feminine haircuts, regardless of age. You can also add some layers or even curls to it to obtain more volume for your hair.

The first thing you should consider when searching for a short layered haircut is how short you should go. This depends on two things: face shape and hair texture. Oval face shapes are especially great for short haircuts because they're proportional and balanced. Choices include super-short pixie haircuts – especially if your face is petite – but also layered bobs, chops, flips and bangs. Women who have slightly square jaw and those with a slightly round, yet petite face can also go short. Just think of how short, strong haircuts lo... Read More
Hair cutting techniques furnish us with brand new ideas to sculpt our strands. Therefore, the chance to find our signature hair styles grew, as people had the chance to choose from an infinite array of hair styling designs regardless of their hair length. Apparently, the popularity of layers can be attributed to its power to complement all face shapes and hair textures. Curly as well as super sleek hair can be easily turned into a piece of modern art with the help of razoring, slicing and other revolutionary methods. The jagged layered sho... Read More

OK, maybe this job really isn't harder than it looks.
Last week, I asked readers to take a crack at their own version of my weekly Top 10, figuring one or two would take up the challenge. Instead, more than two dozen of you wrote in, clearly releasing pent-up frustration over years of the Watcher's oversights and errors.
There simply are too many to run them all, so I combined them into a super-list, scoring everyone's top 10 and adding up the results. What came out was quite interesting, a mix of my perennial favorites and shows that I tend to ignore.
Without further ado, the readers' Top 15 (too many to stop at 10), along with your comments:
Some of the results I expected. I have been hearing from "The Good Wife" fans about my lack of enthusiasm for years now; it's even a divisive issue at the Watcher's house. And really, who doesn't like "Homeland," "Modern Family" and "Survivor"?
Also a given: "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo," "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" and "The Real Housewives of Orange County" received no votes.
Others were surprising. For a show that airs in the Friday night ghetto, "Blue Bloods" has a lot of devoted fans in Orange County. Ditto for the dying "Fringe," a show the Watcher has championed since it began.
More surprising were a trio of the omissions. "NCIS," "NCIS: Los Angeles" and "The Big Bang Theory" got some votes, but the support seemed lukewarm given how high the ratings are for those shows. My not-so-big theory: People like them but don't love them. (Put the Watcher firmly in that camp.)
Starting next week, I occasionally will run a reader's Top 10 list alongside my own to offer a counterbalance to my own preferences and prejudices. It's not too late to take a crack at being the Watcher for a day. Send your list to email@example.com. Just don't be too good; I need the money.
We continue to keep an eye on the interesting experiment going on at "The X Factor," where the show is revealing on Thursday's elimination episode how each act ranked in Wednesday's voting.
This week, we saw that while the bottom of the standings roiled considerably, the top three of country singer Tate Stevens, 13-year-old prodigy Carly Rose Sonenclare and rocker Vino Alan stayed locked in place.
If the top three remains immobile for a couple more weeks, I wonder what effect this will have on the rest of the competition. Will they give up? Will the voters abandon them?
At least this gives us a reason to watch "The X Factor," which is otherwise pretty awful.
Our Huntington Beach trio, Emblem3, moved up to fourth this week, while Fifth Harmony, a group featuring Dinah Jane Hansen of Santa Ana, dropped a notch to sixth.

Many pet owners these days are more likely to think of their dogs, cats, pythons and hamsters as companions, family members, or even soul mates than as mere animals. Yet, as I've blogged before , in many states, including New York, companion animals in divorce cases are treated as property. However, a recent landmark ruling by a Manhattan judge may lead to pet custody reform.
Recently a divorcing New York City couple was involved in a custody battle over their beloved dachshund. Supreme Court Justice Matthew Cooper ordered a hearing to determine who the more dedicated pet parent was, because pets should be treated "more like children than property" in divorce proceedings. According to Judge Cooper, "People who love their dogs almost always love them forever. But with divorce rates at record highs, the same cannot always be said for those who marry." Ultimately, the couple settled their custody battle outside of the courtroom, but credit was given to the judge for helping bring the settlement about.
Whether children or beloved pets are a part of your divorce equation, there is no substitute for an experienced attorney to find a custody solution that is acceptable to you and your soon-to-be-ex-spouse. Call the Law Offices of Mary Grace Condello in Brooklyn at (718) 758-5480 to arrange a private consultation. We will review your situation and as your attorney, provide the legal advice and guidance you need to make informed decisions about all-important child and pet custody issues.

Heart Shape Fan Program
Wonderful for summer wedding!! I was happy with everything, it was even delivered before the expected date!!
Gorgeous fans/programs!
The fans/programs I ordered for my daughter's wedding were absolutely gorgeous! The quality was excellent, the design was beautiful and they were printed and shipped very quickly. I highly recommend Magnet Street for your printing needs.
Loved it!!!!
The ceremony fans are lovely and came on time the only thing is I thought the print would be bigger but either way this was a great purchase as I was looking for something different from the regular ceremony programs and this made my day
Heart Shaped Fans
I found the site difficult to manipulate as there was definitely more print space available then the site allowed. I wish they offered multiple templates. That being said, the fans are beautiful and I am so happy with the end result.
Love the progam fan!
The website was a bit challenging for me to get the design I wanted on the fan, but the staff was very fast and efficient in helping me to put exactly what I wanted on the program. The fans are well-made, sturdy, professionally printed and a very good price. The only very, very slight downside is that some of the wooden handles are not totally smooth so may have splinters; but I am sure that is the case with any wooden handle. I would highly recommend this site for program fans.

SILVER HILL — Even though it was a Saturday, the grass parking area at the Silver Hill Christian Church in Pamlico County quickly filled with cars well before noon.
Inside, more than 70 folks who either grew up here or had relatives who hailed from this farming community were inside the fellowship hall — preparing for a luncheon, looking at 70-year-old photos posted on the walls, and reading old documents and histories.
But, mainly, they were sharing memories.
It was a first-ever community reunion and it brought visitors from as far as Georgia to talk about the "old days," long-past friends and relatives and the places they remembered.
Oldest among the group was 92-year-old Irma Tingle, one of the organizers, along with her brother, Harvey Purser, and Mattie Pearle Paul Williamson, both 90.
"There are not many of us left who were born here. We thought we would get together," said Tingle, the vibrant host who will be 93 next month.
Like most of the natives, she recalled when there were community farmlands, located on thousands of acres behind woods just across N.C. 306 from the church.
"Everybody helped everybody during seasons," she said. The family farm fields were separated by canals.
She and her siblings grew up in what had been an old store, built L-shaped with an addition on the back that included the kitchen. She recalled they had to go outside and walk the porch to reach the rear section of the house.
The heat source was a fireplace.
"Our air conditioning came through the floor boards," she laughed.
The floor boards of the old store are a source one of the stories about how the community got its name.
It is noted that there is a bit of a hill along one of the farm roads leading to the fields.
As for the silver, Tingle said it is thought that it came from the loose change that was dropped in the store and could be seen through the cracks in the floor. Another theory is the name silver had to do with the white sand in the area.
She did recall of the silver coins story that she and a brother "crawled around under there, but never found those coins."
Selma Powers Rowe was born here, the daughter of Colia Powers, a farmer and later a log truck driver. She recalled that he and other farmers worked the land with horses, mules and sometimes oxen.
She is 80 now and was part of the last class of the old Alliance School in 1951, the education center for most of the still-living natives.
"My best memories are just the people," she said. "We used to walk together to Sunday school. Even if somebody offered us a ride, we walked. Everyone was family back then."
There were new memories for some folks, such as Sue Wiley Novicki of Pink Hill, whose father, Frank, grew up across the road from the church.
She had only been there a short time, but had already heard stories about her father and, for the first time, seen a photo of the old Jeter Wiley store.
Another store in the community that is well remembered is that of Dudley Bennett, although it was referred to in simple, revered tones as "Mr. Dudley's Store."
The community had a schoolhouse across from the church in the early 1900s. It was moved across the road and became the Christian Church, while another schoolhouse was built down the road.
Asked where Silver Hill begins and ends and most said it starts about a mile north of Grantsboro, near where the old Albert Bennett place was, and continues until there are no more houses near the Beaufort County line.
Julia Walker Almond Lee was born here. Her father, Theodore Walker, was a farmer and a carpenter. Julia moved to Florida for about 15 years, then returned in 1974 and recently retired from the county Soil and Water Conservation office.
"My best memories are that families then were real close," she said. "There was always time to visit. Now, everyone seems so busy."
She recalled that the family home burned when she was 3. A better, special memory was the dying wish of her grandfather, Adam Paul, that his son, Earl, come home to visit from World War II.
Before the elder passed, his son returned from the South Pacific.
On Saturday, many others again made it home to Silver Hill.

Not suggested
By Christy
from Tampa, FL
I have an English bulldog who is a powerful chewer. I bought one of these as a test before committing to more, since they are a bit pricey. She finished it in less than 5 minutes (that's [$] gone in 5 minutes).I took it out of her mouth to see the state of the treat, and the half that she had been working on was really soft. I can't give her rawhide for the same reason: she'll make the whole thing soggy with her chewing and then choke on it. I cut the soggy portion into pieces and let her have the other half. Again, the whole thing was gone in 5 minutes...I'm still searching for a chew that lasts a reasonable amount of time for my dog.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Merchant response: Twists typically don't last as long as bully sticks. These chews are digestible and untreated, unlike rawhide. We commend you for always supervising while your pup is chewing.
Curly Q's
By Brenda
from Taunton Ma
I use this in between other treats. This way she doesn't get board with any of her healthy treats. Plus I got my firends dog on them.
This is their favorite chew!
By spaniel lover
from east ridge, TN
I have 3 dogs and could easily spend $100+/month on these curly-q's alone. The dogs LOVE them, especially the thicker ones. I've tried all shapes and sizes and thicknesses and these are the ones the dogs go for every time. I have to save them as special treats or I would go broke! One dog has a sensitive digestive system and the curly-q's are the one chew I can always give him. This shape does get caught in the dogs' paws, it's kind of funny--but I've had to pull them off the paws a couple of times :). I'm not always in the same room as the dogs when they chew on these but I am home and they have choked a couple of times but were able to dislodge the chew on their own. I take them away when they get down to 1/2 inch.
Merchant response: As with all chews, we highly encourage supervisions of your pet.
MY dog loves these!!!

I have been given my little maltese this tendons and he loves them. If they are too thick he has hard time chewing them, so I prefer the thin ones.The smell is not good when they are in the package but I suppose it is why the dogs love themRosie

I have 4 Dogs, and I can't buy enough of these. They Love' em.
My Small Dogs Go Crazy For These Chews!
By Mumma
from Anytown, USA
My jack russell and toy poodle think these are the best chews ever. I have tried several brands that they just leave laying around the house, but these curly q's are chewed until they are all gone. I also have the problem with greedy doggy syndrome - the jack finishes his and tries to take the poodle's, but she's pretty good at holding her own. These chews are also free range beef, so they are good quality, and they don't have alot of basting to stain the carpets and furniture.
We still call it a "flossie"
About Me Single Dog Owner
This is the only chewie that MAXX really goes after. He is a mini-poodle that we adopted a year ago and does not respond to treats at all.
My dogs love these "chewies"
About Me Multiple Dog Owner
usually order the Merrick Flossies, and tried these, they are just as good and my dogs can't get enough of them, feels great to know they are good for them too!

Edelman and Diniz Lead the Way as Men's Volleyball Dethrones King 3-1
February 26, 2013
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Host Pfeiffer University scored a 3-1 (25-11, 25-19, 23-25, 25-20) victory over King College hitting .345 in NCAA I Conference Carolinas mens volleyball action on Tuesday night. The Falcons improve to 9-5 overall, 8-2 in league play while the Tornado fall to 8-10, 4-8.
Pfeiffer cruised comfortably in the first two sets starting with a 25-11 victory in the opening stanza. Eric Edelman (Henrietta, NY) picked up an early kill for an 11-3 Pfeiffer lead before a Caleb Brophy (Mission Viejo, CA) and Fabio Diniz (Belo Horizonte, BRAZIL) kill with a David Specian (Loxahatchee, FL) ace in-between, shot the Falcons out to an 18-7 advantage. Edelman would pick up two of the Falcons final kills in the first set to go up 1-0 in the match.
In the second set, a pair of King errors and another kill from Edelman opened up an 11-10 lead to 14-10. As the Tornado tried to make a comeback, a Diniz kill and three-straight King miscues allowed for a Falcons set two victory as Micah Bortner (Dallastown, PA) put down the sets final kill.
A lineup change in set three aided the Tornado stave off elimination as three-straight Pfeiffer hitting errors tied at 21-21 gave King set point while a brief pair of kills by Edelman kept the Falcons alive at 24-23. An ensuing service ace by the Falcons gave King their 25-23 set three win.
King had an early set four advantage until a kill by Kyle Landrigan (Delmar, NY) and ace by Diniz put the hosts up 12-11. Either trailing by one or tied through most of set four, Edelman would give the Falcons the lead for good with another kill at 19-18 while Landrigan helped out with two of the Falcons final three kills for the 25-20 set and 3-1 match win.
Edelman led all attackers with 16 kills on the night while Diniz put down 11 and hit .688 with no errors. Specian, the league-leader in assists, added to his lead with 47 assists on the night and recorded a team-high eight digs. Matthew Harper (Matoaca, VA) had a team-high 10 kills for the Tornado.
Pfeiffer quickly gets back to action on Wednesday night traveling to Barton for another 7:00 p.m. league matchup with the Bulldogs. Live stats/video will be available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

Women's Cross Country takes team title; Men finish 8th at Erskine Invitational
August 30, 2009
DUE WEST, S.C. The womens cross country at Pfeiffer University opened up the season in grand style by winning the 2009 Erskine Invitational on Saturday morning. The women finished the meet with 52 points, finishing two points better than Spartanburg Methodist. The mens cross country also opened up their season on Saturday as well finishing 8th with a team total of 179.
The womens five recorded times all came with finishes in the top-20, including three in the top-10. Magen Abernathy crossed the line first for the Lady Falcons, just in front of teammate Kaitlyn Mullis, with times of 16:59 and 17:00 respectively in the 4k race. Vlada Mouravieva came across in ninth overall trailing Mullis by just three seconds. With a time of 17:29, Lindsey Phillips completed her race in 12th place while Rebecca Pigg finished 19th with a time of 17:57.
Head coach Scott Nolt didnt think his womens team finished at the top. I didnt think we had won stated Nolt. Spartanburg Methodist went 1-2-3 and I didnt think we could make that up with our 4th and 5th runners. But, we have a very deep team and can beat teams with any of our runners. Rachel running sixth for us and finishing in front of their last two runners gave us the two points we needed to win. I cant say enough about how hard Abernathy and Mullis have been working all summer and these first few weeks. They are great leaders and giving a great example for our freshmen.
On the mens side, Matt Tyndall crossed the stripe first for Pfeiffer with a time of 21:38, finishing 14th, in the mens 6k race. Other times for the men include Will Oliver at 23:32, Zack Allen at 24:21, Zach Gray at 25:19 and Grady Gaston with a time of 27:58.
Nolt knew ahead of time things might be tough at Erskine. We knew without Daniel and Josh we were going to have a tough day, if those guys were there we would have been a 4th or 5th place team. I am really excited about our chances this year, and saw good things out of Will and Zack for their first college race.
Both the men and womens cross country teams race again next Saturday morning, September 5th in Lumberton, NC at the UNC-Pembroke invitational.

12949 Avenue O
Chicago, IL 60633
A 160-acre tract was
acquired by the state in 1947 and became known as the Wolf Lake State
Recreation Area. Other acquisitions have now increased the area to 580
acres, of which 419 acres are water.
Wolf Lake is a natural lake, but many areas
were dredged in years past. It is separated into five different sections
by dikes left following the dredging project. The maximum depth is about
20 feet.
Wolf Lake straddles the Illinois and Indiana
State line between 120th and 134th streets. The park road on the east
side runs parallel to the Indiana line. It is not known how the area originally
became known as Wolf Lake. Some local residents claimed Wolf was an early
settler or an Indian chief; others said that years ago wolves were abundant
around the lake and that the lake itself was in the shape of a wolf. The
Chicago Historical Society was unable to verify any of these possibilities.
In 1965, the Legislature approved changing
the name of the state recreation area to honor the memory of William W.
Powers, a former state legislator, who was well-known for his deep interest
in the promotion of recreation for the residents of his district. Representative
Powers' generosity also included providing annual Christmas parties for
children, baskets of food, and fuel for less fortunate ones during the
depression years.
The main picnic area is located south of
the main entrance and parallels Avenue O. An ample quantity of tables
and stoves are provided in shady spots beneath the many willow and cottonwood
trees. Four shelters are availalbe and may be reserved at: Reserveamerica.com
Wolf Lake contains largemouth bass, northern
pike, bluegill, redear sunfish, crappie, bullhead, carp, walleye, hybrid
muskie, and yellow perch. About six miles of shoreline is available to
bank fisherman.
Motors of any size are allowed (motors larger than 10 H.P. must operate at no-wake, idle speed).
Winter Sports
Ice fishing is permitted when conditions
allow the ice to become thick enough. Please contact the park office for
the most current information.
The area is used for waterfowl hunting during
the fall of the year. Hunting must be done from authorized blinds, which
are allocated at a public drawing during the month of July. Unoccupied
blinds are available on a daily basis. Consult the park ranger for information
concerning hunting regulations and blind site locations. Hunter
Fact Sheet
This area is for all to enjoy so help keep
it clean. Put all litter in the nearest available trash container. Camping
or swimming is not permitted. No plants or parts of any tree may be removed
or damaged. Park hours are 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Memorial Day through the last day of September; 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m, October 1st through Memorial Day (early entry to waterfowl hunters during hunting season).
William W. Powers
State Recreation Area is on Chicago's far southeast side, off highways
94, 90, and 41. The main park entrance is at 12949 South Avenue O.

Cummings High School played last week's regular-season finale with this week's state playoffs in mind.
"We said we wanted to play and have a good seed for the playoffs and we fought toward the end," said sophomore Jeremy Griffis. "It was a nailbiter. But with the offensive line blocking and the defensive line eventually wearing out their offensive line, we played great."
Coach Steve Johnson said he was pleased with the play of his seniors and how that motivated his team against Jordan-Matthews. Winning last week's game guaranteed a spot in the postseason for the Cavaliers.
"Playoffs is something we've been used to," he said. "That's something I told our guys at halftime, that it's been so long since Cummings has not been to a playoff. I said, 'It'd be a shame to go out there.' I'm glad that Tre' Moore made one of the big plays because he was a senior in that group. He did not want this to be a group that did not make the playoffs. Being that a senior made that play, I think that was real big."
Cummings senior quarterback Keith McAdoo didn't play due to an injury. Johnson said he would be available this week as McAdoo sat out for "precautionary reasons."
"We should get him back," Johnson said. "There were no medical reasons as far as going to the doctor. We just felt, let's be safe with that young man."
-- ALL ABOUT TIMING: Western Alamance players left their regular-season finale encouraged despite a 28-14 loss to unbeaten Northern Guilford, which is the top-ranked team in the state in Class 3-A.
"We hung with them," defensive back / receiver Brock Deatherage said. "We're going to come back (for practice) harder than normal."
Last year, Northern Guilford eliminated Western Alamance in the second round of the Class 3-AA state playoffs. This year, the teams could meet in the third round if they advance.
"If we play like this in the playoffs," defensive end T.J. Harris said after the game, "we'll see them again."
Western Alamance won three consecutive games before meeting Northern Guilford. So it was a good run through most of October.
"We're peaking at the right time," Western Alamance coach Jeff Snuffer said.
-- HAPPY TO BE HOME: Williams High School coach David Green was unsure if his team would play a home or road playoff game, with a 7-4 overall record after last week's loss against Eastern Alamance.
Amid the uncertainty, Green said his team would be ready to play regardless of location.
"It's always nice to play at home," Green said. "But last year we went on the road and did just fine."
Now that the Bulldogs are indeed home, playing host to Pikeville Aycock this week, they're looking to start a similar run as last season's pair of playoff victories.
-- PRESSED INTO ACTION: Eastern Alamance senior Aaron Clay is known for making big plays as a receiver and returner. His propensity for doing so earned him a spot on this year's Shrine Bowl team.
But last week, he added cornerback to his repertoire.
Clay, filling in for injured starter Ryan Woods, intercepted a pass from Williams' Christian Miles and returned it 43 yards.
So, how much had Clay played cornerback before?
"Zero," Clay said. "This is my first time playing corner. Coach (John Kirby) asked me if I could play and just helping the team out. It worked out pretty good."
-- CHANGE ON THE RUN: Jordan-Matthews running back Hunter Causey had 157 rushing yards and two touchdowns in the first half against Cummings. But he was limited to 115 yards and just one score in the second half thanks to a defensive adjustment by Cavaliers defensive coordinator Danny McCawley.
Cummings began lining up as many as nine players on the line in order to slow down the Jets' rushing attack.
"We started playing 10 people on the line of scrimmage," Johnson said. "We've been struggling to stop people on the run all year long and we just started putting bodies up there, hoping to get a play here and there. I don't think it was anything special."
McCawley changed the defensive scheme from a normal 4-3 to a 6-1 and brought safeties to the line.
"We were basically saying, 'Throw it,' " Johnson said. "We didn't have it in our playbook (before)."
Still, Causey's 272 rushing yards gave him enough to break a Jets' school record for regular season rushing yards, set in 1986 by Robert Siler.
"I'm glad a kid like him can set it because he works hard, he plays hard," said Jordan-Matthews coach Marty Scotten. "He's just one of the guys. He's not better than anybody else. You'd never know if you talked to him that he just set the school record. He just wants to win."
-- KEEP THE MOMENTUM: Southern Alamance's season came to a thrilling end with a 56-50 victory last week against Greensboro Smith, a game coach Henry Trevathan said was a product of his team's marked improvement all year.
"I've been telling the kids, we've gotten better as a team each week," Trevathan said.
Now, the focus shifts to keeping that momentum going into the offseason. With a Wednesday meeting with players, Trevathan discussed just that subject.
"We had a meeting and talked about not letting the momentum die during the offseason," Trevathan said. "We've got to make sure we keep the momentum going."
-- WEIGHT ISSUES: Graham's season came to an end last week with the conclusion of the regular season and a 3-8 record.
First-year coach Anthony Timmons has one aspect in mind for the offseason.
"One thing I learned this year is the weight room is key," Timmons said. "I'm a big advocate of the weight room, and we're going to eat, sleep and breathe in that weight room this offseason."
-- HOPE FOR THE FUTURE: Bartlett Yancey's 2-9 season might come with a positive aspect based on the junior varsity's success in the Mid-State 2-A Conference, coach Cory Lea said.
"The plan is to mainly bring up these 10th graders from the JV," Lea said. "This is a group of kids on the JV team that don't really know what losing is like. They don't know what it's like not to be successful. We're going to lose a ton on defense. We're working on those JV kids stepping up. We're going to be young next year, but hopefully those kids will have that attitude, will come out and get it done."

I am running 100 miles in 40 hours or less.
- Posted by Chris
- 21 June 2012
This weekend I run the longest race I have ever entered.
The Endurancelife #UTSW 100 miles clockwise round the Cornish coastal path from Porthleven to Watergate Bay in a 40 hour time limit.
I have run some tough Ultra marathons over the years. 125km over the Rockies in Canada at altitude was a challenge. A 1/2 Marathon in snowshoes at -42degrees where my eyeballs froze was also a test.
In preparation I have been running an Ultra of between 35 to 60 miles every month this year, but tomorrow will be the furthest I have tried to run and possibly the hardest I have tried to push myself.
Can I do it? I honestly don't know. I'd like to think that I have learnt to ignore the nagging inner voice that encourages you to quit, but I guess I won't know until I cross the finish line. The weather is going to be bad all weekend, but I like it like that.
There is a saying in ultra running.
"You live an entire lifetime in the course of a single race, all the joy, pain tedium and wonder etched into a single day. Step by step, mile by mile, we keep running through the darkness until we eventually come out the other side at dawn"
It's been quite a journey to get me to this point, and however the weekend goes, I know it will just be the start of the next journey.
I will try to get some pictures onto the howies instagram (@howiesclothing)

Spending the winter with the last of the reindeer nomads
During their excursion to Mongolia, Tanja and Denis Katzer are going to be riding a total of 2.000 km across the Mongolian Steppe, through marshes and over mountain ridges, accompanied by their packhorses and a horse-drawn wagon. Mongolia has an unusual continental climate. Summers are extremely hot and dry, with temperatures reaching 40 degrees in the shade. Spring and autumn are characterised by raging storms and it is common to have torrential rainfall combined with temperatures of 20 degrees. Countless flies and mosquitoes terrorise both humans and animals.
In this land of extremes, even today the greater part of the population lives a nomadic life, trekking from pasture to pasture with their reindeer herds. Tanja and Denis Katzer's goal are the last Tuvan reindeer nomads, whose way of life is threatened with extinction. They live in an area of North Mongolia that is very difficult to access. The expedition passes the largest freshwater lake (Chowsgol) in the country. The adventurers will ride through mountain forest steppe and conquer the 3.000 m high Choridol-Saridag snow-covered mountain range. On the other side of the pass, not far from the Siberian border, there where the sparse green of the Taiga offers grazing for the nomads' reindeer, they will seek out the Tuvans who are said to set up their camps for the winter here in small family groups. The reindeer nomads spend the winter in dwellings that they call ortz and which strongly resemble native American Indian teepees.
Denis and Tanja Katzer will ask to share the Tuvans' hospitality, in order to spend an entire winter with the Tuvans in their own tepee or Mongolian yurt. The long arctic winter, when temperatures can drop to minus 50 degrees Celsius, means that living in this region is tough. The lonely days and nights, the cold, finding food and simple survival will be particular challenges for them. The Europeans want to experience how the Taiga hunter people withstand such extremes. During their stay they will document their customs, songs, worries, hardships and moments of happiness.
In the spring, before the snow melts and the earth transforms into a treacherous swamp, Tanja and Denis Katzer will decamp again with their horses, in order to set out on the 1,000km return journey. Without doubt, this is an expedition that combines great depth and respect for the natural world.

Comments about Maxxis High Roller UST Tire:
I have always had good luck with UST Minion so I thought I'd try the HighRoller. The first ride on it tubeless I ripped a knob off the tire and it went flat (now UST useless). It was the 42a Super Tacky compound. So in my next order I purchased the harder 62a compound hoping it would be better. Once again on the first ride it got a hole in the casing and went flat. For years I ran the UST Minion and never experienced this. Weird.

Comments about Maxxis High Roller UST Tire:
I like this tire a lot. It is super grippy in turns and stopping. Hooks up well in the softer stuff and when I took it Woodward for the MTB ride it did surprisingly well on the slickest park surface EVER. When I would turn and I had my purgatory in the rear the front would do what I wanted while the rear would be trying to kill me. this tire is a really tacky/grippy monster, but as with all freeride downhill mountain tires they are not very good for road use(lol I ride around with my friends a lot on the road). I recommend it for a front tire, havnt used it in the rear yet. It also looks good with the dice graphics!
Ps it wears super well! I have had it on for months now and I may not be a tire shredder but the tire still has square edges on the knobs! Not what I expected out of a super tacky tire but it's not a bad thing
Comments about Maxxis High Roller UST Tire:
This tire works great as a tubeless tire! I've bent my rim and it's still holding air like the first time I pumped it up!

GENERIC NAME: dicyclomine
BRAND NAME: Bentyl
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Dicyclomine is a drug that is used for treating irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Dicyclomine is in a class of drugs called anticholinergics. Anticholinergic drugs block the effects of acetylcholine, the chemical transmitter that nerves release in order to cause muscles to contract. They prevent contraction of the muscles by blocking the acetylcholine receptors on the muscle cells. Anticholinergic drugs also have a direct relaxing effect on muscle. Dicyclomine is used to reduce contraction of the muscles in the intestines. Dicyclomine was approved by the FDA in 1950.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
PREPARATIONS: Capsules: 10 mg. Tablets: 20 mg. Syrup: 10 mg/5 mL. Injection (Intramuscular): 10 mg/ mL
STORAGE: Capsules and tablets should be stored at room temperature, between 15 C to 30 C (59 F to 86 F).
PRESCRIBED FOR: Dicyclomine is used in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome.
DOSING: The recommended starting oral dose of dicyclomine is 20 mg given 4 times daily. The dose can be increased to 40 mg 4 times daily. The recommended intramuscular injection is 10 to 20 mg 4 times daily.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Excessive anticholinergic effects may occur when dicyclomine is combined with other drugs with anticholinergic effects such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl), promethazine (Phenergan), thioridazine (Mellaril), triflupromazine (Stelazine), amitriptyline (Elavil, Endep), amoxapine (Asendin), clomipramine (Anafranil), protriptyline (Vivactil), clozapine (Clozaril), cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril), and disopyramide (Norpace). The combined effects of these drugs can lead to a greater incidence of dry mouth, blurred vision, confusion, agitation, increased heart rate, palpitations, constipation, and urinary retention (difficulty urinating). Combining narcotics such as oxycodone (Percocet, Percodan), hydrocodone (Vicodin) with dicyclomine may reduce function of the muscles of the bowel and bladder resulting in greater constipation and difficulty urinating than with dicyclomine alone. Combining dicyclomine with pramlintide (Symlin) also reduces bowel movements more than either drug alone.

Support Home > Offshore Navigator (& Lite) & Chart Navigator (Viewer) > Technical Documents > 5c. Determining the COM Port of a USB to Serial Adapter
GPS Troubleshooting
There are a number of Serial-to-USB adapters that do two things:
1. They physically connect a serial cable to a USB port.
2. They have software drivers that create a Virtual COM Port.
A Virtual COM Port is a setting within the Windows Operating System that allows software products to connect to USB devices using traditional serial (COM Port) connections. While, the 'plug' on the back of the computer remains USB, the software (such as Maptech's Offshore Navigator or Terrain Navigator) connects to it as a traditional serial COM Port. It is the number of this Virtual COM Port that is needed for Maptech's software to connect to the GPS device attached in this fashion.
Setting Up Your Serial-to-USB Adapter:
Your adapter includes a CD that contains drivers for your device. A driver is a piece of software that installs into the Windows Operating System that allows all applications to communicate with the new device. Without a driver, a device can not be used.
Insert the Driver CD that accompanied your Serial-to-USB adapter and follow the instructions to set it up. If possible, verify that it is working properly through whatever means the documentation for that adaptor indicates. Unless the Serial-to-USB adapter is working properly, it will not be able to communicate with your GPS or any software application.
Determining the COM Port Number of a Virtual COM Port:
Once the driver is installed, you will need to find out the number of the Virtual COM Port that has been set up. In the majority of cases, you can determine the Virtual COM Port by following these steps:
1. Open Device Manager:
(Windows XP) Right click My Computer, and choose Manage.
(Windows Vista & Windows 7) Right click Computer, and choose Manage.
Click Device Manager on the left.
2. In the Device Manager list, look in Ports and find the Virtual COM Port, which was created by the USB driver.
i.e.___ USB to Serial Port___ (COM #).
In this example, it is COM 4:
Finishing the Job: Reading the GPS Stream in Your Maptech Navigation Application
Depending on the Maptech Navigation application you are using, the next step varies. However, the basic concept is now to "tell" it where to find the GPS Signal.
Maptech Chart Navigator Pro v1.1 (or Maptech Chart Navigator Light)
1. From the 'Tools' menu, select 'Options'.
2. Open the 'Instruments' tab.
3. Press Auto Detect.
(If the GPS signal can still not be located, use Port Settings to specify the COM port determined during the above test. Also, ensure that the Port Interface is set to NMEA and that the correct Baud Rate is selected.)
3. Once the signal is detected, OK the settings changes and press "Go To Boat" on Chart Navigator's button bar to locate the vessel.
Related Technical Document: Configuring Chart Navigator Pro (and Light) to the GPS - Basic Instructions.
Maptech Offshore Navigator (or Offshore Navigator Lite)
1. From the 'Vessel/GPS' menu, choose 'Setup', 'GPS Setup Wizard'.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions.
(If the GPS Wizard can not detect the GPS, select 'Setup', 'GPS' from the 'Vessel/GPS' menu. Set the 'Manufacturer' to 'NMEA - generic' and specify the COM port determined during the above test. Next, click Port Settings and verify the Baud Rate. Then check 'GPS on' and 'Test.')
3. Once the signal is detected, choose 'Position from GPS' from the 'Vessel/GPS' menu, then click 'Follow Vessel' in the lower left-hand corner of the chart window.
Related Technical Document: Configuring Offshore Navigator (or Offshore Nav. Lite) to the GPS - Basic Instructions.
The CAPN
1. Press the large "Click Here To Find GPS" button to the left of the chart window.
2. Press 'Find GPS'.
(If The CAPN can not detect the GPS, exit The CAPN, and open the GPS.INI file found in the 'C:\Capn Voyager' folder. Edit this file to include the COM port and Baud Rate determined during the above test. Save the changes and restart The CAPN)
Note: The CAPN can not use COM ports higher than 9. If your GPS is connected to COM 10 or higher, reset the drivers for that port so that a lower COM port is used.
Related Technical Document: Configuring The CAPN to the GPS - Basic Instructions.
Maptech Chart Navigator (free chart viewer)
Chart Navigator Viewer is for printing and planning with BSB nautical charts. It can not be used for plotting a position in real-time. GPS functionality is limited to the transfer of routes, waypoints, and tracks to and from handheld GPS units. To configure Chart Navigator Viewer for this purpose, choose 'Setup', 'GPS' from the 'GPS' menu.
Related Technical Document: Configuring Chart Navigator (Free Viewer) to the GPS - Basic Instructions.
Maptech Terrain Navigator (or Terrain Navigator Pro)
1. From the 'GPS' menu, choose 'GPS Setup Wizard'.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions.
(If the GPS Wizard can not detect the GPS, select 'Setup' from the 'GPS' menu. Set the 'Manufacturer' to 'NMEA - generic' and specify the COM port determined during the above test. Also, ensure that the correct baud rate of the GPS is selected in Port Settings. Then press 'Close')
3. Once the signal is detected, choose 'GPS Tracking', 'Start Tracking' from the 'GPS' menu.
Related Technical Document: Configuring Terrain Navigator (or Pro) to the GPS - Basic Instructions.
The Virtual COM Port number may change on different computers, when you install additional devices, or when you switch the USB connection to a different USB port.
Before using navigation software, the COM Port numbers created by your computer and the GPS COM port entered in the settings of your navigation software must match. Otherwise, the navigation software won't receive the satellite signal.
If you do not see a Virtual COM Port, try to uninstall the drivers that accompanied your Serial-to-USB adapter (or USB GPS) and reinstall them. All of the Serial-to-USB manufacturers include a CD or web download to uninstall and reinstall these drivers. In practice, it sometimes takes a few tries to create a working Virtual COM port.
Several customers have reported incompatibilities with the Serial-to-USB adapter sold by Radio Shack. It appears that this adapter is unable to handle high data rates of NMEA GPS units and, therefore, we do not recommend it for use in this manner.
