Comments about Planet Bike Superflash Tail Light:
I love this light! Moved from a Spok set to this and a Blaze 2W and what a huge difference (obviously)! People really tend to give me my three feet during the day, and at night. The Superflash mode surpasses visible and becomes annoying, and I'd rather annoy a motorist than get run over by one! Great product, as is the original.

CHARLOTTE — The locker bearing No. 98 on its top shelf long remained a quiet area after the New York Jets game Sunday.
When Jets linebacker Quinton Coples finally reappeared to his cubby, he released a somewhat dejected energy as the Gang Green had just fallen to the Carolina Panthers, 30-20, at Bank of America Stadium.
Coples is in his second season in the NFL; out of UNC, he was drafted No. 16 overall by New York.
It's no mistake to label his professional career anything short of so-far successful. From playing football at Kinston High School — to being rated a four-star recruit by Rivals.com — to an All-Atlantic Coast Conference junior season in college — to finally: Living the dream.
In Sunday's game, he became the first football player from Kinston to compete professionally in his home state.
While attaining an NFL career elevated Coples' athletic journey, the glam of pro ball also has its dark side: Sometimes, you will lose.
"It was a lot of emotions being home, being able to see my family, being able to see my friends," Coples said. "There were a lot of emotions … in this game, but I came up short, so I have to live with the loss."
Recording five tackles against a Cam Newton-powered offense on the Panthers' way to stopping the Jets (6-8), sophomore Coples saw a lot of action as a defensive starter.
He tackled Newton on the first play of the opening drive before more than 73,000 people. He fought his way into the backfield on numerous other occasions before eventually sacking the Panthers' third-year quarterback.
"Those guys … kept coming (and were) relentless with their attack," Newton said of the Jets' defensive line. "I think our offensive line did a pretty good job of keeping me clean, and when I did get sacked, it was on me."
He was sacked twice in the game.
Inside the two-minute warning of the first half, Coples shot the gap to pounce on Newton for a 6-yard loss. But the drive ended with Panthers' kicker Graham Gano nailing his third field goal of the evening, giving Carolina (10-4) a 16-6 advantage at halftime.
In their first possession of the third quarter, the Panthers faced a fourth-and-2 they decided to pursue. Coples, who'd been diligently tracking Newton during the drive, broke up the pass to get the offense back on the field.
The Jets scored a touchdown nine plays following Coples' PBU.
For the Hargrave Military Academy graduate, he said he's finding his way in this league.
"I think (my career) has been productive," he said. "I still have to work on some things, continue to get better and work on my craft."
Coples has 35 tackles and four sacks on the season.
Running through the tunnel Sunday felt no different than any other game during his NFL career, except this time, he was greeted by family. He shared a hug with his mother, Gail, before kickoff against a Panthers team in the hunt for a playoff berth.
The defensive line had a plan for the mobile Newton going into Charlotte.
"We just had to make him a pocket QB for the most part and let everything else fall into play," Coples said. "I think we did a great job as far as doing that, it's just, we came up short."
Though the linebacker made Kinston history Sunday, the loss hovered over that accomplishment.
"It is big just to be able to step up in that category," said Coples, who left the hood of his gray sweatshirt cloaked over him as he spoke, "but, once again, we came up short, so it's not too much to hold my head on."

Some crucial notes on what new devs need to know about the project.
We use tab to indent because that's what it's meant for. No weird formatting rules, prefer concise over expanded and elaborated. We don't have a strict style guide so don't worry about it too much. Follow Tapestry coding style (not formatting!) where possible (for example don't expect null, don't check for null). Avoid unnecessary code like plague and refactor mercilessly. Do not auto-format (all lines of) existing code, do not use @author tags.
The code has been moved to Github. Similarly, we are in the process of moving CI builds from Codehaus' Bamboo to Travis-ci. Travis is far easier to set up than Bamboo. You just need to turn on the build at https://travis-ci.org/profile/tynamo and commit the .travis.yml file with contents "language: java" to tell it that this is a Java build.
Tynamo site is a combination of Confluence and Maven originated content. Maven sites should be published to public_html/constant/sites/<module name> (note that permissions for /sites was set manually by Codehaus support so don't remove it). Unity, the front-end Codehaus site renderer, renders static content under /constant/ folder the same way as regularly for Confluence content.
Currently, the Maven site is published from an external CI system (controlled by kaosko) when changes happen, but not more often than every 24 hours (it's a Hudson system). It's difficult to automate the same with current Codehaus infrastructure because you cannot control credentials.
tynamo-parent is published to /constant/sites/. tapestry-model is published to /constant/sites/tapestry-model and other modules should follow the same convention.
Since HAUS-1986 was resolved, we can deploy snapshots via http with the credentials already configured on Bamboo. However, some existing build may still deploy via file protocol to ci.repository.codehaus.org, if you see that's the case you can simply update the module to use a new version of our parent pom to upgrade to the new mechanism. You need to have Bamboo rights to create and modify jobs.
Since tynamo-parent 0.0.5 which is using the codehaus parent pom, the release process was changed from blind releases to staged releases. You need a PGP key to sign the release, see Apache's instructions for creating one. Release process follows the standard Apache/Maven release process (see instructions) except our releases are staged at nexus.codehaus.org.
The usual issue to trip over is setting up your environment for providing PGP key & passphrase. The good news is that this is a one-time cost if you do it properly. Staging for us is mostly a final check before the release - if you are happy with the release, just go ahead and close and release from Nexus. If you are unsure about the contents, close the staging repo, then send the link to the dev list and ask others to verify. The usual Codehaus credentials work on Nexus.
Every individual module has to be releasable by running mvn -B release:prepare release:perform (although up to you if you run it in parts and/or without -B), otherwise the release configuration is wrong. If there are failures in the release process, they should be fixed immediately for the next release. Currently we keep archetype-catalog.xml at the root of the dav folder (to make it accessible via http://tynamo.org/archetype-catalog.xml). The archetype-catalog.xml file needs to be manually updated after the achetype module release (because of http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/ARCHETYPE-242). Versions of Tynamo dependencies in examples module also need to be manually updated.
Announcements need to be done manually as well. Github picks up and displays the tags, edit Github release notes for the particular tag to edit release notes manually. Once you've released the module, it takes around 24 hours before the released artifacts are synched to Central. Announcement should be done only after the release is available through Central. This gives us time to do final manual check-ups after the release. If any major issues are found after the release, we should simply abandon the release, leave it unannounced and push out a new release. You should always make the announcements in at least four places: on our home page (as a Confluence blog post), email@example.com, firstname.lastname@example.com and on Twitter (kaosko owns the twitter handle tynamo_org but you can use your own handle). Twitter announcements need to use the hashtag #tapestry5.
If the archetype GA coordinates changes or we publish other archetypes, we need to update the Maven archetype wiki page.
Any project, free-of-charge or not, needs to market their offerings. Tynamo.org has a strong brand recognition within the Tapestry community but is practically non-existent in the wider web, even just among other Java developers. We simply need more back links to Tynamo.org from a variety of content, not just from tapestry.apache.org and stackoverflow.com. Any of the confluence pages need to mention the following keywords at least once: Apache, Tapestry 5, Java and framework, and include one or more links to http://tynamo.org.

Fun time Lyle! Round 4 at Riney B will be an experience that I'll always remember. I'm SHOCKED that 17% of the field quit. That kinda sux! Ecspecially the ones that quit with just a few holes to go so it didn't hurt their rating...LAME!
It was a REALLY fun time, the rain and rising water just made it more of an adventure for me.
Congrats to Adam Higdon for shooting his first ever 1000+ rated round. See what moving up can do for ya!?
"...a glass can only spill what it contains..."
Great shootin' Adam.
It is super weak how players quit before a round is over so it won't count. It looks like a someone in the open did that two weeks in a row. Talk about a skewed rating. That's pretty low class (unless they are hurt or something)

text: The Warriors is pretty awesome (as is Rockstar's PS2 game based on the movie), and I think that Streets of Fire and Last Man Standing get kind of slept on, too. Hill is an underrated talent who had his hand in a lot of the best and most iconic stuff to come out of the 80s, and it's sort of a shame to see him not more prolific these days. I don't think this Stallone flick is going to be the project that brings him back to the forefront, but it sure would be swell if it did.

It happened again: Yesterday a terrified carriage horse bolted down a busy New York City street, flipped over and was pinned to the ground. As traffic ground to a halt, rescue workers and good Samaritans labored to free the equine from under the wrecked carriage and prevent further suffering.
This is unacceptable. Carriage horses were never meant to live and work in today's urban settings. From congested city streets to startling noises, New York City is a nightmare for these animals—and current City laws do not afford working horses adequate protection to ensure their safety and wellbeing.
"How many horses and people must be hurt before New York City wakes up and realizes we are in the 21st century?" asks Michelle Villagomez, ASPCA New York City Legislative Director. "Let's change with the times and push for a safe, humane alternative."
Take Action!
Your help is urgently needed to protect our city's working carriage horses. The ASPCA has been working hard to pass legislation that would take the burden off these horses and create a more humane attraction for tourists. If you live in New York City please urge your councilmember to support and cosponsor Intro. 86A, legislation that would phase out horse-drawn carriages in New York City, replacing them with vintage electric cars. Yesterday's accident is only the latest reminder that the time has come to get these sensitive animals off our streets.
Isn't the ASPCA the same organization that attempted to get the Vet on their staff to release false statements regarding the death and necropsy results of Carriage horse Charlie in 2011?
Just how is it that an organization that is so clearly biased concerning their opinion of the carriage horses is also their overseeing agency ?
hoc foetet
Car's drivers in NY are crazy, but nobody don't want stopped them.
I grew up in NYC, never road one, I always told them I have my own legs, I can walk. I was just thinking about them cause the last time I was there they looked so malnourished, as now I'm volunteering at a rescue barn and knowing there is a way to help them, I want to make this happen.
I am a fan of the carriage horses in NYC and so is Buck Brannaman, intertnationally respected Natural Horsemanship trainer.
Buck Brannaman on the NYC carriage horses:
Next on my schedule were a couple of young women from MTV and Rolling Stone magazine. One of them asked, "What about those poor horses in Central Park? Don't you think it's awful how they have to pull those heavy carriages all day?"
I had an answer for that question "No, I don't," I said, then explained that the Central Park horses are content. Pulling carriages on rubber-rimmed wheels on paved streets is a low-stress job, and the horses are calm and relaxed, not anxiously laying their ears back or wringing their tails. Plus, these horses get lots of attention and affection from passerby. And horses love attention and affection as much as we do.
The horses that people should be concerned about are the neglected ones that, after the "newness" of ownership wears off, live in box stalls all day. These horses have no purpose, no jobs to do. All they do is eat and make manure. Even prisoners get to exercise more than these horses, and the horses have never done anything wrong. If they had the choice, these horses would choose to be carriage horses rather than stand in their stalls.
Buck Brannaman, The Faraway Horses, page 251.
I think it is so sad that we all find ASPCA to be a knowledgeable and reputable advocate for animals and here they are spouting off an article where they prove to not even know what they do. They themselves regulate the care and well being of NYC carriage horses and in the article they say they are pushing for a humane alternative? Does this mean they don't do their job already in making sure that the horses are being cared for appropriately? These horses are not burdened by the work that they do. If they are- why are pedicabs permitted? I would think that pulling people around the city would be harder on humans but no one fights for the poor pedicab driver. Why? Because the heat & cold are 90% of the time tolerable, because the air quality is also tolerable. The pedicab is smaller- so if cars can't see a horse carriage certainly they won't notice a pedicab. I say if you advocate for the removal of horse carriages then do the right thing and eliminate pedicabs too.
Your headline is also misleading. The horse did not flip. The horse was walked back to the stable since he did not incur an injury.
i wish i had a horse. i wish i had a ranch.
I do, too Ariana. I'll bet there is a large percentage of us who wish the same thing, too. I know I do. And I love the opportunity to indulge in a horse and carriage. I read years ago about the care, treatment and housing of these horses, information that delighted me and made want to rush up for a carriage ride. Unfortunately, I don't get out as much as I used to, but I'd hate to see the horse and carriage trade disappear. I don't know New York well, but isn't it possible to design a series of routes that would be able to avoid areas that pose infernal engine threats to these beautiful animals? Are specific lanes designated as horse lanes--no infernal engines, bicycles, runners, or other dratted things from the present. When I think of what we have required of horses over the millennia of empire building and other stupid endeavors, it just makes my teeth hurt. Take care of these animals and be grateful they're still willing to have something to do with us.
What if they were limited to Central Park and not out on the roads with all the traffic? That way people could still enjoy the carriage rides.
what about using them in Central Park only

HAVELOCK – With running back Derrell Scott out, Havelock's Taylor Woods scored a pair of rushing touchdowns as the banged up Rams held off Richlands 28-16 in the Coastal 3-A Conference opener for both teams Friday.
Woods broke a 7-7 contest with a 5-yard scoring run, and Dylan Baker's extra point put the Rams (6-0, 1-0) ahead for good 14-7 with 10:24 left in the second quarter.
On Havelock's next possession, quarterback Travis Sabdo went deep to Kyran Bowman for an 87-yard touchdown, giving the Rams a 21-7 advantage with 8:08 left in the second.
"That was a back-breaker," Richlands coach Justin Snider said. "It was a blown coverage, and we kind of fell asleep and didn't do what we were supposed to do. It happens playing against someone that caliber."
Havelock's Anthony Fisher then recovered a muffed kickoff, and Woods went into the end zone from 35 yards out, left the Rams to a 28-7 lead with 7:46 left in the second.
But those would be Havelock's last points of the night. Richlands (3-3, 0-1) got a 40-yard field goal from Tolson Jeffrey to narrow the gap to 28-10 at halftime, and in the third quarter, Jamar Harrington dominated on a seven-minute touchdown drive, scoring from three yards out to cut the margin to 28-16 with 35 seconds left in the third quarter.
"I feel like we played really well," Snider said. "They're state champions for a reason. They have an excellent football team, and we're trying to build a program in year one, and to play them to a 12-point game, I feel it's an achievement."
Havelock gained possession with just more than six minutes on the clock in the fourth quarter, and behind Woods and Matthew Boykin, ran out the clock for the victory.
"This was our measuring stick, playing the defending champions, and you want to know where you're at, and I feel like we had a good showing," Snider said. "I feel like maybe we earned a little bit of respect, that we're doing the right things and heading in the right direction.
"Considering we're moving up to 3-A and almost played toe-to-toe with the state champions, I feel like we're on our way up."
Richlands 7 3 6 0 -16

I was highly anticapating this jacket, it looks amazing on every website and the specs fit the bill for a workhorse fleece jacket for those dry, cold, windy days. I opened the package and loved what I saw, dense fleece, windproof lining, and great patagonia quality on the stitching. I particularly love the position of the chest pocket on this jacket, its lower on the chest than your typical jacket, it is also deep and has great utility. The fleece is awesome, like a sheep fleece, super dense and warm. All of this being said, it fits like a black trash bag and the only place I wear that is at the start of a marathon. I'm 5'9'' and 145 so 9 times out of 10, I take a small. The small on this jacket is overly roomy in the middle, like I could hide a few bags of trail mix and no one would know. The fit is also short, it reached my waist line but if I reached up, the jacket went clear past my naval. My last gripe on the fit is the sleeves, again, super baggy, debilitatingly baggy.
So I found out that the Retro X when coupled with my down insulator is the warmest jacket I have. I brought it with me on a recent trip to Michigan where it was getting below zero at night, and I didn't really expect to wear it much. I have a really old Patagonia shell that's nice and long and has a hood and thought that would be what I wore. Uh uh. This thing blocks wind and traps heat better than any shell I have. I was shocked actually. This thing's legit, and totally reliable even in subzero temps (given you have the proper layers on underneath).
First off, I live in Myrtle Beach S.C. Not the coldest place but it is certainly windy enough and the temps get in the low 30's. That being said this jacket is super light and very warm. Most of all, like another reviewer said, the windproof is definitely legit! My only concern prior to ordering it was the sizing. I've read other reviews that people say order a size down. Well I didn't and it's a perfect fit. I'm 6'2 and 210lbs. and fairly in shape. The jacket fits really well. If your on the fence about this jacket, don't be. Slap your old lady, and demand your Patagonia jacket:)
If you are looking for a warm/windproof jacket for casual wear, this is perfect. This is not a technical jacket. It's not cut for technical use and won't wear as a performance piece would. This is great for apres` or strolling around in the cold. Very relaxed and boxy cut with room for layers. Length is shorter, cut right above the hip and sleeves tend to be fairly short. I usually wear an XL jacket but I size down for this particular style. I've got two of them and love them both. A classic Patagonia piece.

Hello again. Thank you to those who responed.
I haven't read every book or evaluated every theory, nor am I a logician or an expert in rhetoric. I drive a tractor-trailer for a living. I am called by my faith to reach out to you. You may feel this is condescension. I assure you, I do not suffer from delusions of grandeur. I'm a simple man.
The anger and hostility many of you see stems from a very small segment of religious people. I've spent my life around Christians so I can only speak to their habits. Some are narrow minded, some are egotistical, some ARE arrogant and condescending. So are some of you. Many are the most selfless people I know, some paid $2,738 and used their own vacation time to travel to Indonesia for two weeks to aid tsunami victims. The truly cynical among you are pointing out the "rampant evangelistic brainwashing" that will occur. I know from experience that it is very difficult to speak about God to a person who hasn't eaten in days, or who is freezing under a bridge, homeless in winter. (Or who has seen their entire family destroyed by a wall of water.) These people are eternally grateful for a cup of broth and are focused on bare survival. Trust me. Your role in an area of suffering is to simply be a caring human being; not a good time for evangelization.
The cynicism I sense in your outlook saddens me. Most of you seem infused with anger. I can't discern whether its a statement I've made or whether it's just a generalized hostility toward believers. I am beginning to agree with some of you however, as to the pointlessness of this discussion but let me close with this.
From my own experiences I can tell you that Christians cherish life.
We cherish the Earth and everything in it as gifts from God. To desire to destroy you or anyone simply because you don't believe what we believe is actually comical to me. Zealots come in all shapes and sizes. Some are even atheists.

When Sam Houston was growing up in the Western North Carolina town of Kings Mountain in the 1950s, one could make a good living working in a textile plant, even without a high school diploma.
Houston, who today has a doctorate in education and is the president and CEO of the N.C. Science, Mathematics and Technology Education Center in Research Triangle Park, made it clear to his audience Thursday that schools in the 21st century must make a radical shift in how children are educated to prepare them for the jobs of tomorrow.
"It's been said that, 'The problem is not that our schools aren't what they used to be, it's that they are what they used to be,' " he said.
Houston spoke to a crowd of about 70 representatives of schools, business and industry from throughout Eastern North Carolina — and other parts of the state — who gathered in an auditorium at the N.C. Global TransPark's Spirit AeroSystems Composite Center of Excellence for a STEM East Regional Workshop.
The principles of STEM — Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics — are being implemented in school systems across the state, including in Lenoir County, to prepare students for high-tech, 21st-century jobs.
"We've got a wave going here that I've never seen before in public education," said Houston, who has been a teacher, principal, university faculty member and Mooresville's school superintendent.
Thursday's workshop was designed to encourage employers and educators to work together and engage with students to develop effective homegrown workforces in Eastern North Carolina.
"If you don't believe in it, we're going to fail," Steve Hill, executive director of STEM East, told the audience.
John Chaffee, president and CEO of the North Carolina's Eastern Region Development Commission — of which STEM East is a part — talked about how Eastern North Carolina's economy has changed from tobacco and textile manufacturing to still-growing clusters of aerospace, pharmaceutical and other forms of high-tech manufacturing, as well as health care, "value-added agriculture" and more.
Chaffee said "manufacturing is very much alive" in Eastern North Carolina. He stressed that, for the sector to grow, companies need a large, well-educated workforce.
He and other speakers said potential employers regularly ask about the state of the local workforce.
"Any company can be an advanced manufacturer, but then they have to have the talent that goes along with that," he said.
Houston said schools need to be restructured from their current form, in which students are fed reams of information, such as the periodic table of the elements, or higher math such as algebra, and given little indication of how that knowledge is useful in adult life.
"It's still going to be the center of learning but they don't need to be there every day," he said of a school. "They need to be somewhere where they can draw a parallel between what they're learning and how it applies in the real world."
Hill said there needs to be much greater involvement on the part of business and industry, by communicating with educators about the skills they need, and reaching out to students to help guide them onto the correct paths through high school and college so they can be fully prepared for their chosen careers.
He said the "sweet spot" for that is middle school, when children are at just the right age to be guided into a career path.
"We can take some common sense from our industry and put that back into our school system," Hill said.

Boat Donation FAQ's
- What kind of boat or vessel will Boats 4 Causes® accept as a donation? We accept many kinds of boats and personal watercraft as a donation. This includes, but is not limited to yachts, sailboats, powerboats, fishing boats, commercial boats, SeaDoos, jet skis, canoes, kayaks, paddleboats and more! If you aren't sure if we will accept it, please call us at 888-311-3529 or Live Chat! and speak to one of our friendly donation specialists
- I am not comfortable giving my signed title away without anything in return. If we tow your vessel from its current location we will provide you with a pick-up receipt for your donation. If your vessel is being sold from its current location (known as our S-O-S Program) a signed Charitable Transfer Agreement is preferred evidencing your donation and detailing our responsibilities related to processing and selling your donated vehicle.
- How long does this process take to complete? Once we receive all of the information needed regarding your donated vessel, including the completed donor inventory sheet, pictures, transferrable title paperwork, and, preferrably, a signed Charitable Transfer Agreement (if your vessel is being sold from its current location through our S-O-S Program), the majority of our donated boats sell within two weeks.
- What do you need from me? We will need a completed donor inventory sheet, pictures and title paperwork.
- Will there be a reserve? Every boat donation is different and appeals to a different buyer type. In certain instances, we may use an auction reserve to attract the right buyer for your boat donation.
- How much will my tax write-off be? The amount that is tax deductible is the sale amount of the vessel. For more information on tax write-offs, read the IRS information on vehicle donations. Everyone's tax situation is different, so consult with your tax professional to determine how you can benefit.
- When do I get a donation receipt? After the vessel sells.
- Do you take any boat, running or not? We try to accept all boats, running or not, provided that we believe, at the time of your donation, that the vessel, in its current condition, has a value in excess of $500.
- How do you sell the boat? Through our online auctions or at one of our sales locations.
- If you're going to sell my vessel from its current location, why don't I just sell it myself? Many of our donors have tried to sell their own boats with little success. Boats 4 Causes is a national brand, and as such, our boat auctions are followed by thousands of prospective buyers within several boating communities throughout the United States. We are a trusted and recognized name in the world of boat auctions and buyers feel confident that by bidding on a Boats 4 Causes vessel, they will receive a fair and honest deal. When an individual tries to sell their own vessel, they usually find that they receive few, if any, bids on their auction. The reason for this is as follows: 1) you are selling a single vessel and competing for buyers with hundreds of others just like you; your auction listing may get lost in the crowd. Nobody is looking for it and most likely no one will see it. At Boats 4 Causes, interested boat buyers from around the world monitor our website daily for our boat auction listings. 2) Since you are probably not in the business of selling boats and you only have one listing, the boat buying community does not recognize you and is not willing to take the risk of transacting business for such a large purchase with someone they do not know.
- What paperwork do I need to donate a vessel?
You will need to provide proof of ownership of the vehicle you wish to donate. Even if you do not have a certificate of title or a registration card, we still may be able to accept your donation. Please contact us at 888-311-3529, or via LiveChat to go over the different options that may be available to you.
Examples of items Boats 4 Causes® can use to verify proof of ownership:
Certificate of Title;
Registration Card;
Registration Renewal Notice;
License Plate Number;
Recent Insurance Card;
Hull Identification Number (HIN#)
- I'm ready to donate. What do I do now? You may call our office at 888-311-3529 or click here and fill out an online boat donation form. If you submit your boat donation form during business hours, we will call you shortly after receiving your submitted boat donation form. Otherwise, if your online boat donation form is submitted after business hours, we will contact you on the next business day.
- I have other questions - can you help me? Yes! Please contact us via Live Chat or call our office at 888-311-3529 to speak to one of our friendly donation specialists who will do their best to answer any questions you may have and help you to complete your donation.

By Cris Carl, Networx
Outdoor living rooms allow homeowners to creatively expand their living and recreational areas, which is why they have become so popular. "People are looking for spaces for parties outside of the house that are not necessarily formal, rather having a more casual open connection to the home itself," said Aelan B. Tierney A.I.A. of Amherst, Mass.
Tierney said her company has also seen a growing interest in families wanting to spend time together in more intimate ways rather than just watching movies and TV. "We've seen more people wanting fire pits so they can toast marshmallows or tell stories," said Tierney. Tierney isn't speaking of a pit with a few rocks around it, but rather a stone and/or cement structure surrounded by landscaping, outdoor furniture and possibly landscape lighting.
Destination points
Tierney suggested several ideas that create a destination point for family and guests. Stone patios, pools, hot tubs, gazebos or screen houses can be placed at the further edge of the property. "The destination point becomes another room," said Tierney.
"People are also looking at not just using the decorative effects of flower gardens, but vegetable gardens as well," said Tierney. "They can have a swath of land with garden beds and an adjoining patio that can have a dining area," said Tierney. "It's a space where the food is grown, collected, cooked and enjoyed all in one area, she added.
Tierney said that the homeowner doesn't need to be limited to flat, even spaces, but can create tiers, steps and terraces to create a destination point. "You can really work with the contours of the land to create a very special space," said Tierney.
Pools and water features
"Pools are a big piece of equipment in the yard. It should have good sun exposure and nice landscaping so that it's attractive even when it's not in use," said Tierney.
Tierney said that if the homeowner didn't want all the work of an in-ground pool they can also opt for a hot tub as a center piece of the outdoor living room.
Depending on where you live, fountains, ponds, and stone waterfalls can add an interesting or soothing element to your outdoor living room. A word of caution: If you live in an area that is hot and humid, these types of features may create a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
Walls, fencing, plantings, and arbors can also create visual texture around a pool or water feature.
Furniture that remains outdoors for two or more seasons is naturally going to be exposed to the elements, even if they are placed in a screen house or gazebo. Tierney suggested furniture made of the wood Ipe, which is a durable tropical wood. "It's an excellent wood, but it is expensive. Whatever wood you choose (for outdoor structures or furniture) try to be sure it's been harvested sustainably,' said Tierney.
Other ideas for outdoor furniture materials include eucalyptus, metal and wicker.

Great works are performed, not by strength, but by perseverance.
Lutens all the way...
please visit my Blog: http://xxentx.blogspot.com/
Off Basenotes Sale: http://flacon.ambaric.net/viewtopic.php?p=193#193
Probably in the minority here, given the usual Creed posts, but whilst the other houses all have their virtues (although I am unfamiliar with Goutal's frags) it's Creed for me.
As long as I have GIT, Bois du Portugal and Green Valley in my wardrobe, I'm a happy man.
Though not yet reflected quantitatively in my wardrobe, i have to go with Amouage.
ointments and perfume delight the heart....

None of the Above.

Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."

MPG..Did, or does? Fulfills all my fragrance wants, and or needs!
Don't panic. Just stay calm, and reload....
Parfums de Nicolai
Andy Tauer Fragrances
Haikus are easy
But do not always make sense
My swaps and sales are now listed here:
And here (just search for Slim):
May I play too, gentlemen? I'll have to go off the list, though. My favorites are Juliette has a Gun, Ava Luxe, and Sonoma Scent Studio (although would the latter two be considered artisanal instead of niche?).
If I must stick to the list, I guess Lutens.
The niche world is so large, I can't even pretend to say I've sampled it to completion. Of what I've tried so far, Serge Lutens followed narrowly by Frederic Malle followed narrowly by Parfumerie Generale.
lol, nobody like Bond
Tom Ford Splits!!!! - Tobacco Vanille, Tuscan Leather, Oud Wood, Noir de Noir - PATCHOULI ABSOLU
Plum Japonais, Italian Cypress, Neroli Portofino, Costa Azzura, Azure Lime, Champacca Absolute
HARD TO FIND - Lavender Palm, Arabian Wood, and AMBER ABSOLUTE, etc...
Most of the time I am very proud of the Basenotes community. Time after time I have witnessed the thoughtfulness, empathy & genuine friendship that members of this community extend to others - oldtimers & newcomers alike. There are other times, however, when egos get the upper hand and civility goes out the window. My philosophy is that I won't say anything here that I would not say if you were standing in front of me. Welcome to Basenotes, each and every one of us. ~ TwoRoads
Annick Goutal, no question. However, I'm not crazy about their Les Orientalistes trio.
Creed would be second on my list, but is it really a niche firm? I've never really thought of them as such because their products are so accessible.
And Mona di Orio, probably a very strong second contender for me too.
Last edited by Sorcery of Scent; 5th March 2010 at 03:14 PM.
I voted for Serge Lutens, but if 2 choices were available I would have cast the other for L'Artisan (from your list). Agree with props for Malle and Nicolai, and have also enjoyed quite a few Miller Harris creations.
Serge Lutens. A trip around the world, a journey through time, something for any time of the year or day or any mood.
I voted L'Artisan, although I would have picked The Different Company or Malle over L'Artisan.
It's Malle all the way for me, followed by maybe Diptyque. I got to sample the whole line the other day, but my stupid conference prevented me from returning to the shop and making a purchase as I intended.
Sticking to the list, I'd probably go with Creed or CdG.
That girl, that bottle, that mattress and me.
Lutens by quite a huge margin. I am slowly getting into Parfumerie Generale and Parfum d'Empire, but I'm not certain if they could replace Lutens for style preferred.
Two steps forward. One step back.
None of the above. I would vote for MPG or Parfums d'Empire.
"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
I voted for Serge Lutens. Next would be Parfumerie Generale, Frederic Malle, then Amoauge, then Penhaligons, then Creed, then The Different Company. In that order.

Comme des Garçons
Strictly from this list: Creed- although overrated and over-hyped, still, always a source of some hidden gems
Not on this poll: Knize, Penhaligons, Hugh Parsons, Rance 1795, ADP
Serge Lutens is by far the best. Parfum d`Empire is second and Montale comes third.
And is CdG a niche house?? If so, then it is definitely worth to mention.

From this list, Lutens.
However, tauer and Parfum d'empire are a notch above that IMO.
I voted L'Artisan here. There seem to be more that just fit me well. I find Serge Lutens interesting, but there are only a few I would buy.

EarPollution CS40 Comfort Series
They're small, effective, and snazzy-looking to boot. This new product from Earpollution is one of the more comfortable listening devices you will come across.
These new, sleek headphones, aptly titled 'Comfort Series,' deliver all of your favorite tunes through softly padded ear-speakers and a sturdy plastic adjustable frame. The ear-cups are highly flexible and the headband slides smoothly to allow for comfort for those with bigger noggins.
And these guys are built to last. Don't worry too much about those accidental headphone fumbles because these babies don't just look good, but they're solid and snug enough to satisfy even those headbangers who have gone through several sets.
If you're mostly concerned with sound quality, again, don't worry. Even through the ear-cups are a little on the smaller side, the sound still comes through crisply.
At $40 and five different groovy color options to choose from, the Earpollution Comfort Series headphones are a great investment and will undoubtedly outlast those flimsy little earbuds already falling apart at the seams.
For cyclists, snowboarders or any sport or hobby requiring a helmet, the issue of how to listen comfortably to your iPod or mp3 player has always been a little bit of a conundrum.
Riding along, ear buds can be uncomfortable or cumbersome and headphones are simply out of the question. That's why the folks from Tunebug have taken it upon themselves to find a solution to this niggling little nuisance.
So here's Shake, a portable surface sound speaker with Bluetooth technology that straps right on top of your helmet and allows easy hands-free music listening. It actually turns your helmet into a surround sound speaker.
It sounds far-fetched, but this baby can keep up with even the most hardcore cyclists with a rubber molded water resistant grip, touch-sensitive controls and five hours of battery life.
Ultra-portable and lightweight, the Shake will mount to most types of helmets (bike helmets as well as skate, snowboarding, and even motorcycle helmets). And you won't have to worry about looking like a dork with a brick on top of your helmet, because the Shake has a nice minimal design which won't draw any undue attention. Just don't forget it's there!
The Shake comes with its own Gecko Strap or Gecko Mount for adhering the device safely to your helmet as well as charger and connector cables. For around $100 it's an investment you've got to want to commit to, but once you do, you may never want to take your helmet off.
Coghlans's Ultralight Tent Stakes
Ever had that frustrating experience when your tent just won't cooperate, won't stand up to those blustery winds, or simply collapses right on top of your head in the middle of the night? Coghlan's Ultralight Tent Stakes will help your tent stay safe and secure.
Crafted with a simple yet effective design in mind, these copper hued nine-inch stakes (coming in packs of four) are three-sided to provide extra staying power with half the weight. With a small notch at the head of the stake, your guy-lines will stay in place and your mind will rest easy knowing that come hell or high-water (well, maybe not the latter) your tent isn't going anywhere.
Just remember, in order to effectively pin your tent, drive the stakes fully into the ground at a 45 degree angle. And make sure you bury the stakes as deeply as the pull-cord will allow for optimal tent security. Find these guys online for an affordable price at around $5 a set.
Coghlan comes to the rescue yet again with another innovative necessity: the portable flint striker. The flint striker is easy to use and comes with a simple two-step set of instructions on the back of the packaging just in case you had any inhibitions about operating the little two piece mechanism.
The flint is reminiscent of a key and with it's rope extension, it would fit comfortably in a back pocket or on a keychain if desired. A note however, while the Flint Striker lives up to its name as water resistant, it becomes (understandably so) much more difficult to nurture a spark out of the flint rod when it's wet. And use sparingly, because this guy has a lifespan of 400 strikes and even becomes noticeably less responsive after about 50 or so.
Nonetheless, the Flint Striker should be a welcome little buddy to accompany even the casual trailblazer on his journeys. More than anything, it's a good safety tool to keep in reserve for all those wild country hikers and backpackers as well as a smart and affordable investment at around $10. You never know when you'll need to kindle that fire. Just please use responsibly!
The Idapt Innovative Adapter Universal Charger
Until they come up with one single universal charger that will cover every device you may ever need charged, we have to settle for buying our own multifaceted universal adapters. But for now the Idapt Universal Charger is about as close as we're going to get.
At about a cost of $60, the Idapt model i4 comes highly recommended, even offering an energy saving feature commonly overlooked by a host of other universal chargers. This product ships with 6 adapters, but if you find yourself short a USB port, don't fret, there are 14 additional ports to choose from. Coming in a simple black or silver color scheme, even the aesthetics of this charger are appealing. Highly recommended by GoNOMAD Editor Max Hartshorne.
The Ballistic HC iPhone protector
With four layers of protection, an optional outer layer for further protection, and an integrated screen protector and holster, the Ballistic HC really is designed to survive whatever life cares to throw at your that iPhone you've been so carefully toting around.
The only complaint is that assembling and disassembling the protector can get a little trying with all the layers. Now it's just up to you if a preserved phone is worth the $50 cost. Just don't drop it in the pool because this guy isn't waterproof!
Eberhard Göbel Swing Hands-Free Trekking Umbrella
A product of EuroSCHIRM, the backpackers dream umbrella has finally been designed. And yes, as the product name promises, you can shout, 'Look, Ma, no hands!' as much as you please because this umbrella is hands-free, allowing you to use your hiking poles while you're trekking in the rain.
You'll look like a pro and keep dry like one with this extra tear-proof 100% polyester fabric gadget. It's even got high-density fiberglass parts with Teflon coating.
It's also worth mentioning that the metallic coating of the trekking umbrella we received at the GoNOMAD headquarters is UV reflective. It may look a little space-age, but it might be a great accomplice on a desert hike.
SteriPEN Traveler Handheld UV Water Purifier
So you're traveling abroad and the drinking water's got you nervous? The SteriPEN Traveler will alleviate any concerns about traveler's diarrhea or something nastier with its easy and effective water purifying system.
The SteriPEN works fast at about 48 seconds for 16 oz. and 90 seconds for 32 oz.
There's no pumping, timekeeping, aftertaste or chemical odor involved as long as you have one of these little gizmos on hand, and no reason to worry yourself sick about dysentery either.
It destroys more than 99.9% of bacteria, viruses and protozoa by using a UV light, which is the same technology used by cities to purify municipal water.
And if you're still not convinced, the SteriPEN is tested and certified by WQA against US EPA Microbiological Water Purifier Standard.
Don't just use it on glasses of water either. The SteriPEN is built specifically to fit inside water bottles. Because let's face it, even bottled water in foreign countries can come from an unknown or unregulated source. This gadget runs at about $60 a pop.
Armpocket Sport 20
The Armpocket Sport 20 pouch is almost exactly what it sounds like, a little pouch to keep on your upper arm and store all your goodies for quick and accessible use.
The Armpocket can carry anything from your iPhone, to your credit card and keys, to your energy bars for those long hikes through who-knows-where.

Public libraries throughout Oklahoma will be the place to go for the 2014 Summer Reading adventure during June and July.
Grade school children may join any time during the program dates and participate by reading books and attending storytimes and other special activities.
Science is the overall theme for this year's summer reading program. Children will rally around the slogan Fizz, Boom, Read while teens and tweens will explore Spark a Reaction. The theme and slogans provide inspiration for library programs and a summer filled with reading adventures for young Oklahomans.
Every summer public libraries become the focal point for many children and teens looking for programs and activities to fill their free summer days. Books can take us anywhere in the universe using our most precious vehicle, imagination.
Some libraries sponsor reading contests, and award prizes to participants who meet their designated reading goals. Others have special programs for preschoolers and adults.
Most libraries hold storytimes and craft activities, with parents and siblings often joining in. Call or visit your local public library and check on the Oklahoma Summer Reading Program schedule in your community.
The Oklahoma Department of Libraries has partnered with the Oklahoma College Savings Plan to sponsor the Be Creative @ Savings for College Summer Reading Program Sweepstakes. One child and one teen participating in the summer reading program will each win $2,500 to start a college savings plan. Each winner's library will receive $1,000. Visit your local library, or www.ok4saving.org, for your chance to enter!
So where is my Oklahoma Public Library?
Check Out the Oklahoman Summer Reading Contest flyer (pdf). Eight weekly winners (one for each week of the contest) will be selected to receive a set of books. A grand prize winner will be selected at the end of the contest to receive an E-reader courtesy of The Oklahoman. The grand prize winner's local library will also receive $250 worth of children's books. You can also enter the contest online.
Oklahoma's Summer Reading Program is coordinated each year by ODL's Office of Library Development.
A special thanks to our sponsors: SonicAmerica's Drive-In, The Oklahoman, Newspapers in Education, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Support the Museum by becoming a member today!
Every second Wednesday of the month, the Museum of the Confederacy and the Appomattox Court House National Historical Park are partnering to bring the Civil War Sesquicentennial to Appomattox. Each month, a knowledgable speaker will lead a discussion on a topic or event's 150th anniversary. For July, August, and September of 2013, the talks will move from their normal location at Baine's Books and Coffee to the Museum of the Confederacy-Appomattox.
This talk will cover the history of the United States Colored Troops in the Civil War. Starting with the first African American regiments that were actually formed in 1862, the talk will then move on to General Order 143, creating the Bureau of Colored Troops and putting all black regiments under this bureau. A few profiles of USCT soldiers and officers will be covered before finally discussing the 23rd USCT and some of the battles in which the USCT fought. Join Steward Henderson of the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania National Military Park for this free lunchtime talk.
Admission to the talk is free, but does not include admission into the Museum's galleries.
