Tom Fords Tobacco Vanille.
I love vanilla in fragrances, and though I'm not a huge fan my fiance seems to really enjoy anything gourmand (yet she isn't much of a fragrance fan in general); even fairly unimpressive stuff makes her happy, but the no.1 for her that I also love to wear myself is Spiritueuse Double Vanille, though I know it isn't really what most would call a gourmand.
The catch is it costs me $360 a bottle, base-price, plus postage and whatever an accompanying bottle of Cologne du 68 is going for (I always layer it with 68's drydown) which can be anything from 50-90 sans postage,
and while I don't mind laying that sort of money down if I know it'll last between her stealing it, and the way my fussy skin consumes fragrance this is not something that works for me as a daily-wear. Even if I was willing to cut back on buying other fragrances the situation is still not satisfactory because this is one that is very special to me and I don't want to ruin that by wearing it all the time.
So what I'm looking for is a solid, high-end vanilla fragrance, or a gourmand (with a prominant vanilla note to make it more palatable for me), and solid longevity and sillage are must-haves, while the price needs to be reasonable for something I might end up wearing quite frequently for all but the warmest months. To me that means niche or high-end designer prices (i.e Montale, Annick Goutal, CDG, Dior, etc) are fine, but designer exclusives, etc., not so much. I'm perfectly comfortable wearing "femenine," scents so don't hold back if you know of one. She's enjoyed Mont Blanc Individuel, Lanvin Avant Garde, Chopard Casran, and Sables (which I don't find gourmandish, but each to their own) and, oddly enough, Diesel Plus Plus femenine, aside from Double Vanille, and Vanille Exquise also seems to go down well but only when we're nice and cozy as it's bassically a skin scent on me which is a shame because it would be perfect if it projected and lasted longer.
This isn't something I'm normally inclined to do, but these are extenuating circumstances as I'm getting married in less than three weeks and during the short holiday we're going to be taking afterwards I would love to surprise her with something new. So, any suggestions?
Tom Fords Tobacco Vanille.
Blue Amber (Montale)
...a gourmand or strictly vanilla fragrance will never smell masculine.

Les Senteurs Gourmandes Vanille Bourbon
My favorite straight up vanilla is Eau Duelle. Reasonably priced. good longevity for me.
Baldessarini Strictly Private - not really gourmand but spicy oriental + gourmandish. On me this smells like masculine vanilla though i've seen totally opposite opinions too.
"Le parfum est la musique du corps"
(Marcel Rochas)
One to sniff is Fahrenheit 32 by Dior.
first thing to come in mind should be the good old Caron Pour Homme - not gourmandish.
otherwise TV by tom ford is very satisfying, however it is even higher priced than mona di orio vanilla which might be the better crafted scent - i have not tried it but know some of the house.
How about Dior Hypnotic Poison, which offers a warm almond and vanilla accord? Easily unisex, too.
+1 for Eau Duelle. I really like it, but it has a powderyness to it that gets me. I really can't handle powder for some reason. Eau Duelle is a great straight up vanilla...and I think the powderyness comes from the vanilla itself as vanilla beans do tend to smell a bit powdery to me. It's a heck of a lot cheaper than Double Vanille, although I think I like Double Vanille better.
How about vanilla with some leather?
Try Mona di Orio's Vanille and Profumum's Vanitas
Have you tried Aqua di Parma Mandorlo di Sicilia? Nice vanilla, not expensive.
Maybe not high end enough for you, but Givenchy Pi should do the trick.
Tom Fords Tobacco Vanille
Bois 1920 La Vaniglia is fantastic. It's a very creamy vanilla with a healthy dose of incense.
Current Top Five:
1. Bois des Iles--Chanel
2. George Sand--Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier
3. L'Ame Soeur--Divine
4. Violet Blonde--Tom Ford
5. Santal Blush--Tom Ford
Agree with Mona di Orio's Vanille, it's beautiful. Mine was brought back from Paris but it's available from Luckysent online and their orders usually arrive in Sydney within 1 to 2 weeks. I bought 75ml of Spiritueuse Double Vanille in Sydney (Myers in Pitt St) for $275 a few months back - think it's gone up to $290 now but less than the $360 plus postage that you said you pay.
try the splendid and affordable
"Meharees" by L'erbolario - Bakery in a bottle!
Tobacco Vanille made me forget all about Double Vanille. Check it out.
My sales thread
To me Tobacco Vanille smells less about Vanilla and more about licorice...in other words, if you want more vanilla smell, to me, this is not it.
Jaipur Homme , V by Valentino.
+1 for Tobacco Vanille.
Eau duelle
Eau Duelle is the best pure vanilla scent IMO...
My current top ten:
1. Spice and Wood
2. Tonka Imperiale
3. Dior Homme
4. Pure Malt
5. Oud Wood
6. Ambre Nuit
7. L'air Du Desert Marocain
8. Noir de Noir
9. Apple Brandy
10.Straight to Heaven
no great shakes but good enough..
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille. There isn't really a great easily available choice out there for men in this category at the moment. I've been looking myself lately.
If you like SDV, you may well enjoy Serge Lutens Un Bois Vanille. Vanilla with a bit of spice - is very nice
Besides what's already been recommended, try:
Seven Veils (Byredo)
Vanilia (L'Artisan)
Havana Vanille (L'Artisan)
Un Bois Vanille (Serge Lutens)
Vanille 44 (Le Labo)
Vaniglia del Madagascar (i Profumi di Firenze)
+1 Dior Hypnotic Poison.
Dior Homme Intense or Caron pour un Homme
Another + on Eau Duelle. It's a great substitute for SDV if you're not crazy about the latter's boozy vibe. Also do consider Guerlain Shalimar for a little more complexity.; the vintage parfum de toilette is terrific.
Good call on Dior Hypnotic Poison too!
Doesn't get much better than S. Double Vanille IMO. Tom Ford's TV is also a nice contender.
Felanilla is a fantastic vanilla-iris-tobacco accord. Comfortable, durable, and not just a vanilla fragrance.
Mona di Orio Vanille is of course excellent, and much more of a literal vanilla than the above. The drydown isn't as interesting as the top to my nose, though.
Try Pi by Givenchy, go easy on the trigger.
Thanks everyone for the wonderful suggestions.
I own Tobacco Vanille, Jaipur Homme, Hypnotic Poison, Caron Pour Homme Impact and Pi but they're fairly neglected so I'll give them all a second look. I wear Caron Pour Homme quite a lot on the other hand and it doesn't quite satisfy, but thank you for the suggestion.
Is there that much difference between Shalimar's vintage EDP and the vintage Parfum and cologne? I own those, the parfum and cologne, but this was my great aunts favourite perfume and it's unwearable for me for that reason.
Blue Amber sounds very interesting, and I've enjoyed other Montale offerings plus the price is very much correct, btw does anyone else think Montale is actually rather cheap for 120ml's of eau de parfum? I might think a little more about Chocolate Greedy too as I've been uhming and ahing over it recently. Being able to get three Montale's for what than Double Vanille costs me is a very attractive prospect.
Will check out Les Senteurs Gourmandes Vanille Bourbon. Sounds promising, as the boozy quality of Double Vanille is one of the highlights to me (and why I layer it with 68, for extra boozy goodness)
Eau Duelle, TV, Mona Di Orio Vanilla and Baldessarini Strictly Private are on the list.
Vanille Cuir sounds interesting, but the leather could be an issue. I'll check this one out though if only for myself.
Profumum's Vanitas, Aqua di Parma Mandorlo di Sicilia and Bois 1920 La Vaniglia, all on the list as well.
Also I'll definately by checking out Myer at Pitt Street to see if they have Double Vanille for $290, amazing price from Myer of all places!
V by Valentino, L'Occitane Eau des Bavx, Serge Lutens Un Bois Vanille, Musc Ravageur, Seven Veils, Vanilia, Havana Vanille, Un Bois Vanille, Vanille 44, Vaniglia del Madagascar, Dior Homme Intense and Felanilla are all on the list as well.
You've all given me plenty to think about. Thank you!
Tobacco Vanille
Mona di Orio Vanille
Diptyque Eau Duelle
Musc Ravageur
Kilian A Taste of Heaven
Guerlain SDV (considering the price, Eau Duelle is a better alternative imo)
These are the best from what i've tried...
There's a new Shalimar Ode a la Vanille Limited Edition coming soon - the 2010 one was exceptional, this new one features a Madagascar vanilla. Worth keeping an eye out for for those interested.
Villoresi Teinte de Neige
Jaipur EdP
Habit Rouge
Eau Duelle & Eau Des Baux are excellent recommendations. Also, may wanna check out Molinard Vanille Patchouli.
My Ultimate Top 5:
Fahrenheit (1988)
Paul Smith Man (2009)
Burberry London (2006)
Prada Amber pour Homme (2006)
Arpege pour Homme (2005)
He Wood Silver Wind Wood has vanilla aplenty.
Thanks for the additional suggestions. I've had a chance to read reviews and look at bottles and a lot of these seem amazing. I'm honestly thinking about breaking my no decant/samples rule because lord knows buying even a quarter of these would kind of defeat the point of this being a low-cost alternative, still I'll see what I can do. In situations like this I tend to just go with whatever has the most evocative/inspiring bottle, name, notes, reviews and history.
Tom ford noir de noir???
haha..... suggestions pour out further - le labo poivre... vanilla and black pepper
I think TV is quite a good choice actually. I enjoy it! excellent sillage and longevity for sure
Current Top 5:
1. Frederic Malle L'eau d'Hiver
2. Tom Ford Noir de Noir
3. Dior Homme / Dior Homme Intense
4. Thierry Mugler A*Men Pure Havane / Pure Malt
5. Creed Aventus / Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille
You can have your cake and eat it too - just in slices!
TOP 3 hot weather:
1. Gucci Pour Homme II
2. Lalique Encre Noire
3. Creed Millesime Imperial
TOP 3 cold weather:
1. Dior Homme
2. Eau Des Baux
3. L'Instant de Guerlain Pour Homme Extreme
Another plus for SL Un Bois Vanille but also try Molinard Vanille which to my nose shares a great deal with SDV. You may need to buy direct from their website. It also vanillas up other fragrances beautifully and costs next to nothing. http://www.molinard.com/fr/articles/vanille.597.html
I can't recommend the Molinard enough
I appreciate the suggestion, but splits, decants and samples take the romance out of fragrance to me. I like to buy based on descriptions, notes, names, etc and I enjoy not knowing what I'm getting and being surprised. Even when it's a bad surprise nine out of ten times I'll develop a liking for the fragrance later.A quick plug then for our Aussie splits group!!
You can have your cake and eat it too - just in slices!
Checking out these suggestions by the way, albiet slowly.
Edit - ordered the L'Occitane and Blue Amber as well as Sweet Oriental Dream by Montale, and I'll be getting Chocolate Greedy too as soon as I find it. The great thing about these Montale Gourmands is even if I find them too much I can just give them to my fiance.
Just to note, I'm not trying to neglect your suggestions, but I'm worried about Montale's ongoing existence and want to stock up while I can. Gotta check out everything else you guys have given the nod about; I have a friend in the US who mails me fragrances so I'll hit her up and see if I can't do a bulk order for a fair price.
Out of those I own I've given Tobacco Vanille another look, but it doesn't seem to be for me although it's a good scent. I think I'm going to give it to a friend. Jaipur Homme is good, and Hypnotic Poison surprises me, feels very wearable, I might get a proper bottle because as it stands I've just got a whole bunch of minis from those Dior sets (used to sell this sort of stuff); also gave Caron Pour Homme Impact and Pi a bit more wearing. The soon-to-be-better-half doesn't like the former although I do, and though she likes the vanilla in Pi she says smelling SDV first has raised the bar too high. Alas, but I'm starting to feel the same way.

Disclaimer 1: I'll avoid anything mentioned above, though Musc Ravageur warrants highlighting!
Disclaimer 2: Just including things I like.
These are in rough order of how interesting they are to me and your requirements.
Odin - Century - a woody incense vanilla; the top doesn't smack of vanilla, but it makes a beautiful appearance in short order; strangely, not included in the notes.
Jane Booke - Taken - gourmand vanilla; marketed as feminine, but I'd wear it; truly beautiful
L'Artisan - Vanilla Absolument - basically sugar cookie vanilla
Tokyo Milk - Let Them Eat Cake - like it suggests, a vanilla cake with sugary frosting
Tokyo Milk - Kabuki - a powdery vanilla
BPAL - Jareth - vanilla fougere with leather (BPAL stuff isn't typical, but feel I should include it)
BPAL - Dorian - vanilla musk; love it
Kilian - Love (Don't Be Shy) - gourmand marshmellow (hey, it has vanilla!)
Brecourt - Mauvais Garcon - woody smokey vanilla; suitable for nightlife, but elsewhere as well; a bit smokey
Parfumeria Generale - Bois Blond - a slightly musky vanilla; I personally like it, but the vanilla doesn't always come out to play
M. Micallef - Gaiac - woody vanilla
M Micallef - Note Vanillee - boozy amber vanilla

First Week Down!
Just popping in real quick to say a couple of things.
I haven't had a ton of time for anything other than school (and watching my aunts dog). But now that my first week is out of the way (almost) things will calm down and I'll get a rhythm going. :) More fun blog posts to come, I promise! In the mean time, these are the only photos I've been able to snap since I've been here (besides a few "january photo a day" photos).
1. A piece of the beautiful scenery that now surrounds me. I feel like I'm living in "Roswell"! :D
2. A school where I get daily facials, pedicures, and massages= my kind of school! LOVING it!
3. (I know this one is awkward. I only took it so I could show my sister how I'm wearing one of the necklaces she gave me for Christmas. haha!) We have a dress code of black, brown, tan, cream, and white + no blue jeans. I'm pretty sure that my closet only provides enough outfits to get me through one week (if I stick to this dress code). haha! Kinda worried... I'll have to keep being really creative... Thank goodness blogging has already taught me that! :)

Mists of Pandaria will have a renewed focus on the Horde versus Alliance conflict. As part of that, it's been revealed that Theramore, Jaina Proudmoore's city-state, will be sacked by the Horde.
Now, it's probable that, like most major storyline events, this will happen "off-screen", in a novel or comic, or maybe a cut-scene before Mists of Pandaria comes out.
One of the problems with this method is that it's never the player's fault that the Alliance and Horde are at war. It's always that angry Garrosh, or stupid Varian. If only they were sensible and intelligent, then all these problems could be avoided.
I think it would be better if the players were responsible for the destruction of Theramore. If they had their bloody handprints all over the ultimate trigger for the FourthWar.
Here's how I envision it playing out:
Garrosh Hellscream (questgiver): Lok'tar Ogar, Champion of the Horde, Slayer of Deathwing! The Alliance have held us back for too long. Even now their armies encroach upon our territories, and kill our soldiers. It is time for us to deal with the main Alliance stronghold on Kalimdor. Your orders are to sack Theramore, destroy their ability to threaten us, and eliminate their leader, the mage Jaina Proudmoore.
Horde Player: What!?! Are you mad? This is an atrocity, an act of war. It is stupid and short-sighted! I will not do this.
Garrosh Hellscream: I offer you this epic weapon, Champion, and this rare striped kitten. It is not just any kitten, it is a Kitten of the Horde!
Horde Player: Theramore will burn, Warchief! The men and women will be put to the sword, and their children enslaved. Also, I would also like a gemstone collar for my kitten.
And then we have a phased instance of Theramore like the Wrathgate, only the players would be treated as the champions of the invading army. The Horde player's object is to destroy Theramore. The Alliance players also have a similar questline, but their quest would be to hold the line as long as possible, and then evacuate and get Jaina to safety.
I think an event like this would get the players deeply invested in the Horde/Alliance conflict. And it would force them to take responsibility for the conflict as well, the blood on their hands, rather than treating it as something that stupid NPCs came up with, or was written in a novel that most don't care about.

Players and the Sack of Theramore
Mists of Pandaria will have a renewed focus on the Horde versus Alliance conflict. As part of that, it's been revealed that Theramore, Jaina Proudmoore's city-state, will be sacked by the Horde.

Hmmm, and what do you do when a player refuses the quest (and the associated epic reward which would end up dezzed/forgotten in a couple of weeks)? You leave him in a phased separate world where Theramore still exists?

"I think it would be better if the players were responsible for the destruction of Theramore. If they had their bloody handprints all over the ultimate trigger for the FourthWar."
I think you bring up a good point about "the horde" actually being "that one guy with the tusk shoulderpad" and "the alliance" actually being "the guy with the swords." The entire game of WoW has just been us playing clean up for their messes.
I also think focusing more on the players could be good for creating new heroes down the road. It would certainly be cool to play through the stomping of theramore, then to pick up the latest comic and see theramore in ruins, with hundreds of hordies cleaning their blades and disposing of bodies. You could say to yourself, "Yeah, I'm there. That's me. I did that." It would feel so much more personal, the thing that seems to be missing from WoW these days.
Phasing is by region, not by zone or entire world, so it would only matter if your friends spent all day every day in theramore.

@ Helistar: That's easy. You obviously won't be able to level past 85 if you don't do this mandatory gating quest. Or not be able to enter heroics at 90. Or stuff.

Blizz doesn't seem that interested in having some of these major story lines play out in WoW. To Blizz, that seems to be the impetus to sell more books. (Jaina book, anyone?) With more and more of the significant Warcraft lore taking place in the books, it seems that Blizz is shortchanging WoW a bit.
Now, if I recall properly, the Horde v. Alliance conflict was supposed to be more front and center in Cata, but in the end it seems to have gone back to the Icecrown/Grizzly Hills level of conflict from Wrath. Call me skeptical, but to put the conflict on center stage you need to stop putting most of the impetus for the conflict off stage. In that respect, Rohan, I do agree with you in your suggestion. However, there needs to be a similar investment for the Alliance. I don't think that a losing battle (ala Andorhal) is going to do it for the Alliance; I think they need to take Tarren Mill.

- Rohan said...
@Helistar, nothing would happen. You're not the only champion of the Horde. Someone else would lead the sack of Theramore, get the weapon and the kitten (and maybe a title "Veteran of Theramore").
I guess you'd get the moral high ground, but Theramore would still be destroyed.

Positively brilliant! I love the idea of getting more involved with the events and having a hands-on experience. The event quests we've had in the past have all been some of the greatest experiences I've had in gaming. AQ gates; Scourge invasion; Elemental invasion.
Cannot stress how much I love this idea. Only, do I (as an Alliance member) get a chance at an epic lion cub perhaps? ;)

With the release of Cataclysm there were a number of prequel activities that we could participate in. I helped my Troll bro's reclaim their home island, I watched as Garrosh and Cairn fought out for control of the Horde. I missed, but saw that there was a fight to reclaim control of Thunder Bluff.
Alliance, you got to reclaim Gnomeregan (sp!?).
I would actually be surprised if we don't get a quest and/or achievement for participating in the sack of Theramore. Alliance, you can have Lordaron (UC) back.

You mean, Blizzard should incorporate a "story" into their game and we would be a part of it? Maybe we could even have different dialogue responses that takes us to different phases or cutscenes! Kind of reminds me of this thing that's going to be released on the 20th of this month...

There would be another option. Not doing this kind of stuff.
In war you can only loose.
For a movie or a sRPG a war might be a good driver for the story. But for an MMORPG, where you "live" in a "world" for many years a war means that every side looses more then they win.
I don't care which horde village the alliance takes over or burns to the ground because those horde cities mean nothing to an Alliance player. They have no history. The loss of Theramore, on the other side, removes something from the game.

Radical proposals to streamline Government's structure were introduced by the Chief Minister on 1 April 2014. "Recommendation 3" recommended the merger of Health and Social Care functions. Please see the CoMIN Report.
The Department of Health and Social Care is responsible for running the Island's National Health Service through providing a Mental Health Service; acute care at Noble's Hospital and off-Island referrals to specialist centres of excellence in the North West of England; and care in the community setting such as GP services, community nursing and health centres.
The Department is also responsible for providing social care services such as social work, residential homes and supporting those with learning disabilities.
In addition the Department's responsibilities includes functions relating to housing, such as managing and allocating a stock of 1,200 public sector properties and operating a Register of First Time Buyers requiring assistance.
The Isle of Man Department of Health and Social Care has commissioned the West Midlands Quality Review Service to undertake a rolling programme of external independent quality assurance of Isle of Man health services over the next three years. Three reviews will take place each year covering a number of linked pathways or services. The first Review took place on the 26 November 2013 in Noble's Hospital Emergency Department, Critical Care and Theatre and Anaesthetic Services.

5 Important Facts To Consider Before Refinancing Your Car Loan
Mortgage refinancing is especially popular and better understood than car loan refinancing. The same benefits that accrue from mortgage refinancing also apply to your car. However, refinancing your auto loan is easier, less complex, and takes a shorter time. Here are things to consider before deciding to refinance your car.
Your interest rate
This is the most important thing to consider. If the interest on your current loan is lower than current rates, then it obvious refinancing is not for you. You need to take into account the rate and potential costs of the new loan. Only then can you determine if refinancing is beneficial in any way.
Your credit score
You will get a better rate if your credit score is higher than when you took the auto loan. This will lower your monthly payments. The difference can be substantial if your credit score has improved dramatically. On the contrary, you will attract a higher rate if your credit score is lower, which makes refinancing untenable for you.
The term on your loan
Refinancing can be used to shorten the period of your loan. For example, you may have taken a longer term loan in order to enjoy lower monthly payments. This has the downside of saddling you with debt for a longer period, and increases your interest payments. Refinancing allows you to shorten the loan period, while still enjoying lower monthly payments.
Financial difficulties
If you are having problems paying your loan, refinancing might be a way of avoiding repossession. You can increase the term on your loan by refinancing, thereby lowering your monthly payments. This will of course raise the overall cost of the loan in the long run. However, it will at least buy you more time to sort out your finances. Furthermore, having your car repossessed will negatively impact your credit score. This will make it harder for you to access cheap credit in future.
Prepayment penalties
The benefits of refinancing will be negated if the terms of your current loan include prepayment penalties. These are charges levied by the lender if you decide to prepay your loan. Additionally, if the new loan has high set up fees, you may be better off sticking with the existing loan. These fees will cancel out any potential gains from refinancing.
Finally, refinancing offers you a way out of a car loan that turned out to be a bad deal in the first place. This is especially true if you got a much higher rate than you deserved.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Knitting Factory leaders cancelled an upcoming concert within hours of being shutdown by the Spokane Police Department. Managers released a statement on Monday night.
The statement confirmed that a concert planned for Friday, February 22nd is cancelled.
Spokane Police Chief Frank Straub ordered the Knitting Factory to close on Monday morning following a shooting which left two people injured. Straub told KREM 2 News that he is closing the concert venue because of public safety concerns. Police have responded to four shootings near the venue in the past year.
The decision is effective immediately but can be appealed.
Knitting Factory COO Greg Marchant said that he deplores the shootings and plans to help police with their investigation.
We have strong security measures in place to ensure the safety of both our patrons and performing artists while attending and performing shows at the Knitting Factory, added Marchant.
He also wrote that it is difficult to control what might happen outside the venue. The shooting happened in a parking lot which is not owned by the Knitting Factory according to police. Yet, Marchant said that his employees are working with the Spokane Police Department to improve safety.
The actions of a very, very few people and incidents like this tarnish by extension the reputations of venues like ours, said Marchant.
Knitting Factory leaders confirmed that they already spoke to people in Chief Straub and Mayor David Condon s offices.
We made a lot of progress today, and while we believe that these talks will lead to a solution that will prevent the cancelations of any events, we do intend to cancel this coming Friday s event as a cooling off gesture.
Knitting Factory managers have 20 days to appeal Straub s decision to close their venue. Straub said that managers need to call police for help if they are allowed to reopen.
The idea here is to get them to work with us to control the behavior of the people who are using their property, said Straub.
Fans of the Knitting Factory created a Facebook page to show their support. The page is titled Keep the Knitting Factory Open.

PORTLAND -- Most people wait until at least driving age to buy a car.
Not a Portland toddler. She picked up a vintage sports car on eBay, much to her parents surprise.
Car shopping? Maybe 18 years from now but definitely not this early, said her dad Paul Stoute.
Several weeks ago, Stoute got an email alerting him that he'd bought a sports car. He was the high bidder on eBay. Stoute knew he didn't bid on the car. But his toddler daughter did.
At just 14-months old, Sorella Stoute had been playing with her father's smart phone when apparently she opened the eBay app. After a couple of taps on the screen, she successfully bid on a 1962 Austin Healy Sprite.
She's always been good with gadgets, stuff on the remote and things, said the toddler's father.
The seller offered to let her out of the deal. But her dad figured, Why not? He paid $202 for the rusted car that won't start.
As long as we can get it running by the point she can drive, it will probably be her first car, he said.

Indianapolis Colts Tickets
Indianapolis Colts Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews
2013 Record: 11-5 Andrew Luck took another huge step forward in 2013. The second year quarterback led the Colts to the playoffs and to the second largest playoff comeback win in history. The 28 point comeback occurred against the Kansas City Chiefs in the wild card game. The dream season ended the next round, however, where the Patriots easily defeated the Colts. Luck who only threw nine interceptions, threw seven in the two playoff games. He will have to take better care of the ball in big games if the Colts want to advance. The year 2013 was the year of the injury for the Colts. Tight end Dwayne Allen, running back Ahmad Bradshaw, and star receiver Reggie Wayne all suffered season ending injuries early on in the year. The Colts were able to overcome those injuries but will need to get and stay healthy in 2014. Hakeem Nicks signed in the off season and should provide Luck with another option downfield. In somewhat of a shock the Colts traded a first round pick for Browns running back Trent Richardson after week three. Richardson, who struggled in his first year with the Colts, should see an increased workload with fellow backfield mate, Donald Brown, being dealt to San Diego. There are plenty of reasons Colts fans have to be optimistic heading into 2014. With one of the best up and coming players in the league the Colts are heavy favorites to repeat as division champions in the AFC South.

the payphone project
stories, pictures, phone numbers and news from payphones and public telephony
|payphone locator > Florida > payphone locations for KEY LARGO, Florida
(718) 937-2770. 34th Street and 36th Avenue, Astoria. Telebeam Payphone outside Cava Wine & Spirits.

|Tweets by @payphonenews
A majority of payphone locations listed on The Payphone Project no longer exist.
This collection of payphone numbers and locations is kept online for historical purposes.
You might be surprised by how often I field requests or get web traffic from people who,
for one reason or another, need to confirm whether or not a payphone once existed at a certain place.
A recent example (2014) of this occurred when a producer of the "Serial" podcast contacted me to
evaluate what came to be known as
"The Mysterious Best Buy Payphone".
Another take on the subject can be found at Who Still Uses Payphones, And Why?
Information on these pages was collected from various sources, including law enforcement, private investigators, and numerous individuals who sent in
their collections of payphone numbers and locations.
Phone numbers on these pages are believed to either be or to have been at one time those of public telephones (payphones) in the United States.
This information is provided as is in the hope that it will be
useful in determining exact or approximate locations, past or present, of payphones in the United States.
If you have SKYPE Internet phone on your computer, you should be able to click on the payphone numbers to try and call them. Most payphones are disconnected or reject incoming calls, but have fun trying!

SNOW HILL — With the 300th anniversary commemoration of the Tuscarora underway, there is an air of disgruntlement by the Tuscarora Indians living in North Carolina.
A few Tuscaroran Indians from Robeson County began gathering at the Battle of Nooherooka site in Greene County this week in tents, but not without disruption. And others have made accusations about fraudulence and being left out of the event.
Property owner George Mewborn III told the Indians encamping on the property to leave. Greene County Sheriff Lemmie Smith said the Tuscarora moved onto the easement area near the main highway.
"They weren't no problem," he said. "They just respectfully got up and moved."
Doug Anderson, Haudenosaunee Ska-Reh-Reh ambassador to the U.N. and Tuscarora Nation road commissioner, said three self-appointed chiefs from the Tuscarora Nation in New York — the only federally recognized Tuscarora — are fraudulently posing as chiefs to obtain funds to have Indian burial remains brought to the Tuscarora Nation Museum in New York.
Anderson and Marilyn Mejorado, Bear Clan mother in the Southern Band and artist residing in Bertie County, both contend Leo Henry, Kenneth Patterson and Stuart Patterson are fraudulently posing as chiefs.
Larry Tise, a historian at ECU, said he wasn't aware of the allegations.
Although not listed on the agenda, Anderson said he intends to speak at Saturday's event on what he says is fraudulence, and also speak on behalf of the North Carolina Tuscarora Indians' desire to obtain their ancestors' remains and be counted as Tuscarorans.
Anderson said he believes ECU archeologists want to close a long-disputed matter with the Indians in North Carolina that would basically take North Carolina Tuscarora off the map.
"If they recognize (the local Tuscarora)," he said about ECU, "then they won't let them dig."
Mejorado said out of at least 8,000 people that resided in North Carolina in the 1700s, only about 200 left to New York and Canada.
"We have maintained our homeland," she said, "all the Tuscarora that stayed in North Carolina. We have maintained our heritage, our culture and our tradition, and our language as we speak it, as we spoke it in the 1700s."
Mejorado said the Tuscarora have no borders. There are members in various places around the state and in other states, such as Florida and California, she said.
"When Six Nations took the Tuscarora in," she said, "they took all of them in, not just those who moved up there among (Five Nations in the north)."
Mejorado said Dennis Greenhouse of the Department of Justice and representatives of the Bureau of Indian Affairs maintained in August 2007 that those who left the parent tribe and land (in N.C.) didn't speak for the parent tribe when a treaty was signed in the 1700s federally recognizing the Tuscarora who left the state.
She said Six Nations — which was Five Nations before the Tuscarora were recognized — recognizes the Tuscarora in North Carolina.
Members of the Southern Band had always lived around Bertie following the Battle at Nooherooka in 1713, but reorganized in the 1990s, she said.
Mejorado alleges ECU archeologists dug up Tuscaroran remains illegally in Bertie County and have never given them back. She said there is a burial site in Bertie on the Indian Woods Reservation waiting for the return of the local Indians' ancestors, and it is her goal to see that happen.
"The remains are exactly where they were in 2001," Tise said. "They're in storage and they've been published in several registers awaiting a legitimate request from the Tuscarora Nation or a qualified party to request repatriation."
Mejorado also expressed dissatisfaction about the local Tuscarorans not being invited to speak at the event.
"No Tuscarora from North Carolina was invited to speak," she said, "was contacted, was offered the opportunity to have any input. … we're being pushed aside by those who are coming from New York."
Tise said members of the New York Tuscarora Nation came up with the idea for the 300th year commemoration.
"They came to our conference last February," he said about some of the New York members, "and said that they were planning a commemoration of Nooherooka 300 this year."
Three conference speakers and Mewbornagreed to assist with the commemoration.
Tise said he had been researching Tuscaroran Indians who are looking for their ancestry for more than five years.
"I got involved with it because I've been studying the non-recognized Indians in North Carolina for a number of years," he said.
Tise said the North Carolina Tuscarora Indians are welcome to the celebration.
He said he didn't know of any Tuscarora within the state that have something of research interest to present, nor has anyone come to him with that type of information.
Mejorado said she has been working on Tuscarora ancestry for 25 years and has never had to invite herself to speak at places, such as Duke University.
Tise said Thursday there were at least 150 Tuscarora from New York bused into Greenville, and the first talk held at ECU was well-attended by Tuscarorans from both the state and the North.

ptripp, hello, well I tell ya, it is hard to debate you guys. First of all, most of the post on this forum are exceeding bright, and this probably stems from years of schooling and investigation. Try trying to respond to some of the posts on this forum. You'll be scratching your head the first five minutes trying to keep up.
Now I can always give you my own personal thoughts, but they are always going to go back to the bible, because that is where I feel the answers are. If that ruffles feathers, there is nothing I can do about that. I guess my own way of life differs greatly from the norm on this forum. Therefore I bring something different to the table. But, isn't that a good thing? What happened to inclusion? Oh well, just another day in the intellectual jungle. Back to the March Madness….

Comments about Pedro's Chain Keeper:
Inserts into the right rear dropout when the wheel is removed for cleaning, storing, or transporting bikes.
Quick-release lever allows for fast and easy installation and removal.
Best Uses
Comments about Pedro's Chain Keeper:
I use this for cleaning the chain on the bike. A bit finicky to insert, not unlike the wheel itself. Otherwise works well and is much better than the idler wheel style.
Comments about Pedro's Chain Keeper:
This is a very simple device and does exactly what it's intended for: keeps the chain under tension when the rear wheel is removed. It's also helpful if you want to clean/detail the inside of the rear stays/bb/brakes (w/the wheel off). For transporting a bike w/out the rear wheel, this is a must have!

Spicy Bitter Gourd
Bitter melon or bitter gourd has been traditionally used in Chinese and Ayurveda medicine for detoxing and to help treat type 2 diabetes among other things. The seeds and pith are discarded and the flesh is cooked in a variety of ways. The melon you see above is of the Chinese variety. Karela is a smaller Indian variety that matches the bitterness of the above melon.
The Indian variety of bitter gourd often showed up in my mother's weekly rotation of dishes. She would thinly slice the melons and soak it in turmeric and a handful of salt to draw out some of the bitterness. After soaking it for at least an hour, the sliced melons will be rinsed and drained before using in a variety of recipes. My personal childhood favourite was deep fried sliced masala bitter melon with a side of ketchup for dipping ( known as tomato sauce in Malaysia). My three older brothers did not partake in this little feast of mine which made me happier - more for me!!! I know, I was a peculiar child :)
The recipe below is made using this chilli paste that I have stashed in the freezer for an emergency like this one ;) Feel free to substitute with any chilli paste that you can get your hands on.
Spicy Bitter Gourd
1 bitter gourd
2 tb vegetable oil
1 1/2 tb sambal paste
1/2 cup water
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tb fresh lemon juice/tamarind juice
Cut bitter gourd in half and scoop out seeds and pith. Cut into half moon around 1/4 inch thick. Place in a bowl , sprinkle 1/2 tb salt , mix well and leave in the bowl for one hour.
Rinse gourd well after one hour and drain well. Heat vegetable oil in a saute pan or a wok and saute sambal paste for 5 minutes on medium heat or until the oil separates. Add drained gourd pieces and stir well for at least 3 minutes. Pour in water, sugar and lime juice. Cover and cook until water evaporates. Taste and add salt as needed. Take off heat and serve as a side dish along with steamed rice. Makes 4/5 servings.
