For the first few months I was living in the city, I had an old phone that no longer held a charge or had room for many apps. In late February I was finally able to purchase a Nexus 4 and have spent the last 5 months in a relationship with Google Now that is getting more serious and committed each week. The more we get to know each other, the greater the results.
Features I Love
The Traffic card is hands down the most used and useful one for me. I work freelance and am still new here, but with just a quick glance I can see how long it will take me to get home. Also, more importantly, it gives me the directions of how to get home (my internal compass is nonexistent). I rely on this card and use it every single day.
Once I updated the settings and started using my phone, Google Now became more personalized and useful. Most of the time I'm too poor to go to movies, but I still appreciate it when I'm told that I'm near a theater and there is a movie I'd like to see starting soon (based on an actor I looked up on YouTube or the Internet). I've also been recommended concerts, plays, and activities based on my YouTube viewings or my +1′s on Google+. There are literally thousands of things going on in this city every day. Having my phone find the ones I'd actually be interested in is incredible. Sometimes things are just a few blocks away, but I didn't realize it.
Going along with the activities, is the card telling me about photo spots nearby. I can look at that card and realize there is a statue in the courtyard across the street that I should go see. I know that I would be missing things if Google Now wasn't telling me about them. I'm also recommended restaurants every time I head to work in a new part of town. Unfortunately my budget isn't quite ready to make proper use of that card, but oh I am looking forward to the day I can give you an in depth review on it.
The connection with Chrome is also incredibly handy. Like most people, when I'm headed to a new place I look it up on Google Maps on my computer before I leave. Then, when I get off the train I can open Google Now on my phone and it will say "8 minutes left to Staples" or wherever I was going, and directions on how to get there. Sometimes I look up a place but don't actually go there. Don't worry, the card is still there telling me how close I am. I started looking at apartments a few nights ago, and the next morning the Real Estate card was open. If I start researching something specific, there will always be a card with articles or information on the subject I was so interested in at 2 am.
So what more can a girl ask for?
Features Wish List
Product Finder – I went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond a while ago. While there, I got a card that said something like "while you are here you can scan any item to read reviews on the product." That's fantastic. Well, I also use Google Keep. I use it for notes and ideas, and lists. My shopping list. Wouldn't it be amazing if Google Keep synced with Google Now and I got a notification while walking down the street, "Your shopping list says you need a 3.5 Watt LED R4 light bulb, and the specialized lighting store 8 minutes away has it in stock for $7.99." There are SO MANY stores in the city. And I don't know where any of them are or what any of them specialize in. This would be amazing.
The Deal Card – This is New York City! There are specials, and deals, and happy hours all of the time. Come on Google, tell me about them! I would definitely be more likely to go to the restaurants that are being recommended if it also included the lunch special of the day (8.99 for all you can eat hot wings!).
Restrooms – While I think this would be more useful for tourists than locals, a public restroom card would be amazing.
Friends – Finally, I've just recently gotten in to using FourSquare, which is a really fun app. I love it when I'm told there are friends at a nearby restaurant. A Google Now card like this would be cool. A card saying, "You have 5 friends within 15 minutes" so I can give them a call to meet up instead of getting all the way uptown only to realize they were so close.
So, for those of you who haven't experienced the joy of your phone personalizing your city to you, I highly recommend it. For those of you that have things you love or a wish list of your own, please leave them in the comments below. I want to hear your ideas.
Google Now is available on Google Play or the App Store.

Customer Reviews for Energy Efficient Fabric Kitchen New Additions
"Love them!!!"
By FAN FOREVER from PA
Over all best buy of our life!!! The biggest Surprise is what we got for the price and how easy to install. We are going to order for other rooms.View this product
"Excellent Replacement"
By MaggieLue from San Antonio, TX
Replaced another brand of blackout, top-down blinds with these - the two sets of blinds were about the same price, but I can't believe the difference in quality! My new blinds are very noticeably better made, and of much, much better quality materials. Additionally, the old blinds took almost two hours, and a lot of frustration to install - my Blinds Galore set went up easily and quickly in less than 10 mints.View this product

WMST Student Blog - Women and Writing
HERE's THE SCOOP about Taylor's Blog.
I'm a senior (yikes) magazine journalism student at Kent State University. I'm quite interested in women's issues and media ethics.
I'm taking my very first independent study this semester as part of my women's studies minor. After some considering, I've decided to dive into the lives of female writers — journalists and authors alike. I want to consider and review women whose writing has inspired me. This blog will serve as my own "best list" of women in the business — women I hope to emulate.
Here's to them.
You can reach me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

"It's the old-fashioned way of how they got the corn out of the field and into the crib," said Staley.
Twenty-three years ago, Staley found himself in a challenge from two men in Atchison, Kan.
"They challenged me to a contest. I bet you $100 I could beat you. The money goes to the winner's charity. Well, I said, that's fine. I said, 'well who's your charity?' He said, 'Maur Hill Mount Academy.' Mine was the same," said Staley.
He beat both men and won $200. And, ever since 1991, Atchison has held the annual corn shucking contest to help raise money for the private high school.
"It's evolved to the situation now where last year I got a little over $3,000, and it's for the schools," said Staley.
But it's more than just the competition for the corn shuckers of Atchison.
"Just trying to keep it alive so that the next generation will at least have a chance to see it," said five-time National Corn Shucking Champion Donna Fairbanks.
"It's interesting, it's something that they learn, it's different, that's old-fashioned," said Staley.
Dozens of kids participated Sunday afternoon at the corn shucking competition, and it's not as easy as it looks.
"Making sure that I get all the corn off of the stalks, that's the biggest thing for me. And then hitting the wagon, they tell me I'm really wild sometimes. I throw it and almost hit the drivers," said Fairbanks.
"This is the hook I wear, it's the thumb hook. And you rake it across the ear, it opens it up, and grab it and flip into the wagon," said Staley.
Each participant had 10 minutes to shuck corn, some clearing 40 cobs a minute.
When they finished, the corn went home with the contestants and they celebrated another successful year of shucking.

Jamie Oliver
Jamie Oliver
Jamie Oliver is a chef, restaurateur, author and television personality known for his advocacy of healthy eating habits.
He grew up practicing in the kitchen of his parents' pub in Clavering, Essex, England. According to Wikipedia, his first cooking job was as a pastry chef at Antonio Carlucci's Neal Yard restaurant.
His first television series was called 'The Naked Chef.' Despite the show's title, the series did not feature any nudity. Instead, it focused on meals that were easy to prepare, or 'naked' in the sense of being simple.
The success of The Naked Chef led to several book deals, including "Return of the Naked Chef" and "Happy Days with the Naked Chef."
Oliver's first campaign to improve school food came in 2005 when "Jamie's School Dinners" aired in the United Kingdom. The four-part documentary recounted Oliver's efforts to change the students' eating habits at a typical British school. The success of the show led to larger changes in British school dinner programs, including a pledge from then-Prime Minister Tony Blair to fund better kitchen facilities and training.
In 2010, Oliver brought his 'Food Revolution' to the United States. He filmed a television series documenting his efforts to change unhealthy eating habits in Huntington, W.V. That city previously gained notoriety as being one of unhealthiest in the U.S. thanks to a 2008 report by the Centers for Disease Control.

Internet Auction Features as Quality Signals
2009, Journal of Marketing
Shibo Li, Kannan Srinivasan, Baohong Sun
Internet auction companies have developed innovative tools that enable sellers to reveal more information about their credibility and product quality to avoid the "lemons" problem. On the basis of signaling and auction theories, the authors propose a typology of Internet auction quality and credibility indicators, adopt and modify Park and Bradlow's (2005) model, and use eBay as an example to examine empirically how different types of indicators help alleviate uncertainty. This empirical evidence demonstrates how Internet auction features affect consumer participation and bidding decisions, what modifies the credibility of quality indicators, and how different buyers react to indicators. The signaling-based hypotheses provide coherent explanations of consumers' bidding behavior. As the first empirical study to evaluate the signaling role of comprehensive Internet auction institutional features in mitigating the adverse selection problem, this research provides evidence to clarify the economic foundation behind innovative Internet auction designs.

197-hp, 2.0-Liter, DOHC i-VTEC
4-Cylinder Engine
The 2.0-liter, dual-overhead camshaft K20Z3 engine produces 197 horsepower at 7800 rpm and 139 lb-ft of torque at 6100 rpm. Thanks to special Honda-developed performance technologies, such as the ultra-precise Drive-by-Wire throttle system, 3-rocker i-VTEC
variable valve timing, a cold-air intake and high-flow, low-heat exhaust manifold, the K20Z3 engine boasts a flat torque curve from 2000 rpm all the way to its race car-like 8000-rpm redline. Plus, the K20Z3's intake and exhaust system is quieter and less obtrusive when cruising at highway speed, but produces an aggressive, sporty sound at full throttle.
Close-Ratio 6-Speed Manual Transmission
The performance-oriented close-ratio 6-speed transmission is lightweight and compact, with a quick, precise shift action and solid, direct feel. Special features of this transmission include close gear ratios for first through fifth gears and a low 4.765:1 final drive for faster acceleration, a stiffer cast-aluminum transmission case for reduced noise, carbon-faced single cone synchronizers on fifth and sixth gears for enhanced shift feel, and a low-ratio sixth gear for quieter, more fuel-efficient[1] highway cruising.

Drive-by-Wire Throttle System
Fast-responding electronics take the place of a traditional throttle cable and produce greater response and enhanced drivability with minimum adjustment and maintenance.

MacPherson Strut Front/Multi-Link Rear Suspension
The geometry of the Civic's MacPherson strut and multi-link rear suspension improves responsiveness and feedback that provide a good balance of taut performance and overall ride comfort.

If you're sitting inside, you're doing it wrong. Brisbane's year-round subtropical setting is best enjoyed with the grass beneath your feet and the sun on your back.
Brisbane comes alive each day as its subtropical temperatures call people from their beds year round to wake up and smell the coffee, soak up the sunshine and drink in the view of the winding Brisbane River.
High-culture, no pretension
Experience the festival buzz of South Bank, with markets, bars, restaurants, live performances and Australia's only inner-city beach, providing the ultimate free playground.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Great product, superior service!
These are quality card-stock fans with sturdy handles that are more than just pretty accessories. We used these at an outdoor wedding, 1:00 pm, and the temperature was 81 degrees! Not a single complaint about flimsy paper or broken handles. The editors were wonderful to work with as well. There were about four changes that were made to the original submittal, and each was made promptly and correctly. There was never any "eye-rolling" or "sighing" about the smallest detail that I changed. Shipping was fast and everything was received in good shape. Thanks for making a wonderful wedding day even better!
Much prettier then I expected, ending up having to order more, they still had everything saved so I didn't have to redesign it! Couldn't ask for better customer service!

Creed doesn't come wrapped in cellophane.
Look at this image!
I stole this image from another thread here because it serves my purpose, and because my digital camera doesn't hold a charge, I don't know how to connect my dumbphone to the computer, and my iPod touch is a gen 1 without a camera.
I believe I have identified this as a fake.
See, I just bought a bottle of Royal Delight and the packaging is identical to this aside from the size and writing color (mine's gold). It's REALLY good packaging and the bottle, sprayer, and cap seem flawless. Okay, not flawless, as the cap is slightly loose and the back of the bottle seems to have a lot number scraped off, but I think that's part of the ruse.
Anyway, I've been wearing it for 3 days straight and I noticed that the fragrance didn't have the same "ZING!" that I thought it was supposed to have. Well, as luck would have it, I had my old, empty Perfumed Court sample still around (guilty of hoarding), so I compared and CONFIRMED the difference, and it's unacceptable. Look, you can talk about batch variations, reformulations, and "old stock" until you're blue in the face, but differences like this are criminal. In fact, it might even be worse than the difference between vintage and new Anteaus'.
People have claimed that fragrances like Royal Delight (and Original Santal) aren't popular enough to be counterfeited, and, excuse my language, but I say HORSE HOCKEY.
So let's all take a good long look at the pic up top and understand that you don't need to know French to spot the grammatical error. It basically says "Supplier of King A, of Queen B, of King C, and of Queen D, of King E.
The "AND" is placed before the second to last item in the list. Anyone familiar with all Latin based languages knows that this is incorrect, but a native Arab speaker may not know that, and I understand that these fakes are made in the middle east (there is a bit of Arab script on the bottom of the box).
Unless there is something unique about French that I am unaware of, this is a fake. And no, I'm not being paranoid, my nose has been telling me it's a fake for a few days.
Of course, I could be completely wrong about this, but I really don't think I am, and believe me, I REALLY want to be in denial, or at least my wallet really wants me to be in denial.
Creed doesn't come wrapped in cellophane.
The bottle of Original Santal in the picture is authentic, i'm willing to bet your Royal Delight is too. I highly doubt counterfeiters would bother faking Royal Delight. You have no reason to believe they're fake. Stop being an alarmist.
My VIW and SMW has the same text as the image. The rest of my Creeds do not. All of my Creeds have been purchased from Fragrancenet and for all of them, they smell authentic, bottle looks authentic, and I am satisfied.
If it smells legit, it's legit. Now why the text discrepancy? I have no idea.
It basically says "Supplier of King A, of Queen B, of King C, and of Queen D, of King E.
You don't have to speak French to read the mess on the top of the box. Just know that "de" means "of" and "et" means "and"
I'm out of my element here, but I suspect the days of GREEN FRICH TWEED are over and in order to spot a fake you have to be freaking Colombo
If you look at the commas, what it is saying is "of the emperor Francois Joseph and the emperess Sissi of Austriche-Hongre". Kind of like "of the King and the Queen of England". Nice try though. NOT FAKE.

So the question is: does Creed feel that, "aw, fuck it," is the proper attitude for a fragrance with an MSRP of $250 USD?
And the other question is: what is the US government hiding at area 51?
Looks like the real thing to me.
I smell marshmallows!
It appears to be genuine to me. I have several boxes from Creed, yes I keep the boxes, and some of them had Arabic writing but are authentic. Additionally, fragrancenet and many other retailers ad cellophane to the boxes in order to preserve them new. I would not worry about your box.
There have been numerous spelling and grammatical mistakes over the years in creeds shoddy packaging. I pointed one out to the official distributor 5 or 6 years ago and he confirmed that all boxes in his warehouse had it.
Nothing to worry about.
Your bottle could be very old and poorly stored?
If they were to fake a bunch of RDs, they should be on the market somewhere in fairly large amounts, because they aren't going to have a lot of buyers for it !

I was hoping it was fake because I was going to traipse on down the the Neiman Marcus in the ghetto (New York is stupid, don't ask) and grab me a real one. Buy now everyone has confirmed the horrid reality that I cannot get a good bottle of Royal Delight, PERIOD.
woe is me
Send it back to fragrance net saying the juice has gone bad
I'm pretty sure Royal Delight is at the bottom of the list of Creed frags to fake. There's more money to be made with Green Frich Tweed, Silver Montana Water, or Original Santana.

I've read every post in this thread three times now to make sure I didn't miss anything. I have not seen a single mention of two of the most obvious questions to be asked. Do the lot numbers on the box and bottle match? Is the lot number a verifiable Creed lot number? These questions are all over countless "is my Creed fake?" threads. Seems to me this is something to be checked immediately if you suspect any problems. I own several authentic Creeds bought online from a trusted source a few years ago and a couple do have the so called grammatical error on the box. The only one that didn't have a lot number on it was a one ounce bottle of Green Valley. It smelled the same as a later bottle I bought that did have a number. I wasn't too worried about a one ounce fake to begin with. In this case everything in this thread seems to indicate that it's authentic, so check the numbers and post the results. Then we should know for sure.
I just read for a fourth time and I see you say it seems to have a number scraped off the bottle. I have heard of some grey market sellers doing this with authentic bottles because they aren't authorized dealers.

I don't have a signature fragrance. My signature changes a little bit every day, why shouldn't my fragrance?
Also, I think we can all agree that buying from a non-authorized dealer and saving a few bucks is never worth the hassle and worry involved (ie. wondering if it's fake, if it's gone bad, if it's old stock, etc). Just buy from an authentic source next time.
I got a bad bottle from an online source once and I'll never bother buying Creeds online again.
OP, I can take more, detailed, pictures if you'd like. I have the OS out of the cellophane.
My MI and Himalaya bottles have the text as shown in the first image and they are authentic.
Also, there is NO lot # on the box AND the lot # on the bottle just seems wrong. It's barely legible and the first characters might be "F," which, as we all know, would not be correct for an actual Creed. Also, I have a genuine Original Vetiver and the lot # is ENGRAVED. Good luck getting that thing filed off without annihilating the bottle's appearance. And another thing, the lot # is not on the bottom lip, but just above it and to the right. That also doesn't agree with what my OV tells me.
Okay, I don't really want to waste any more of you good peoples' time with this. I'll tell you what. One day this week I'll pop in to Neiman's on the home and do some smelling. My nose will know the answer. If what there I smell resembles what purchased, then I will capitulate and declare myself an ass. However, if what I smell resembles my old Perfumed Court sample then I shall buy a bottle and come back to the thread to do the "I told you so" dance.
There is always one such thread on the first page of Male Fragrances.
Even if they could duplicate the bottles and boxes perfectly (which they can't), they would still have to make the fragrance smell similar which they can't. They're too cheap to put an actual designer fragrance such as Cool Water in a GIT bottle.
So either there is a rampant proliferation of fake Creeds out there, or, option B, Creed has pathetic quality control and have no problem putting out sub-par fragrances due to batch variations or reformulations. I have sampled most Creed fragrances from official sources, and even when I don't really like them I can usually respect their composition. This last bottle that I purchased not only doesn't smell like it should, but I can't even respect the composition. It's like Green Day trying to cover The Toys of Men, and I feel that only people that truly enjoy the art form would even notice.
The thread is moot anyway. I'll eventually get to Neiman's to decide whether Creed is dead to me, or if the online discounters' Creeds are dead to me.
I'll also be sure to post my results.
You could always not bother buying Creed in the first place. Trust me, you can have a very respectable collection and enjoy this hobby greatly by not having any Creed, saves a lot of angst over their terrible batch quality control and poor longevity fragrances.
In a world where people smell bad, it is the personal responsibility of every Basenoter to improve the world one SotD at a time...
But what about the different batches? Which are real and which are fake?
Are you not entertained??? Is this not why you are here??
The way I see it, the only way my argument could hold water is if there is a MASSIVE counterfeiting organization out there that operates with complete disregard for western copyright law and without legal oversight whatsoever. This isn't really that far-fetched as there are many bootleg video games and electronics created and distributed in Asia, and they never really see the light of day here because of technological and linguistic incompatibilities, and a bootleg iPod is WAAAAAYYYY more difficult to reverse engineer and assemble.
Now, consider fragrance and its universal appeal AND universal packaging. Your market is global, and your markup is absurd because all you really need to do is undercut Creed's MSRP by half, which still leaves you able to sell a dollar-cost product for $70 wholesale. There is no electronics or complex engineering involved, so just about every dime is profit and customers will be drawn to your version like flies to shit because they think they're getting a "deal."
I gotta go, Jesse "The Body" Ventura and I are going to blow the lid off of HAARP

On the other hand, if people start walking out of the Creed Boutique complaining about how their Creed just doesn't smell right and doesn't last long, well then, we have harder evidence that Creed has quality control issues.

My only other detective reference would be McNulty, but nobody would know him because at the time everyone was obsessed with the overrated Sopranos.
Wait no, I forgot about Monk. Let's turn this into a detective thread, yay!
Memory and environment play a role as well. So, I'll share an experience from today and just throw my thoughts out there for the heck of it. Example, I wore DHI today, had not worn it in months, didn't get the deep cocoa I had noticed so many times before, is it the bottle, or me??? Well I've reciently been wearing many heavier scents that I had not been use to wearing when I used DHI frequently. So maybe my idea of deep has changed a little. Sunsetspawn, please do report back when you test the authorized retailer bottle and if you feel it is just such a discrepency in juice quality, or if your sence of smell could have altered with the experience of other things.
Boohoohoo. Yet another suspected Creed fake, huh? Hey don't blame the counterfeiters. Blame the thousands of Creed fans who are too darn cheapskate to pay retail for them at authorised distributors.
Just for the record, I keep all my Creed's in their boxes, and I bought all of them from authorized dealers, (most from the same Saks, actually) so it was pretty easy to check. Basically, all the boxes are one of two types - the gold lettering with thicker block caps and the "et" located on the bottom line, and the silver lettering with thinner, mixed-case typography and the "et" on the second line.
My guess is that one of the typesetters for one of the two versions "corrected" the copy that they were given. Or it's possible that Creed changed their mind about how they wanted to set the type. Both versions are technically correct. Here's why I think this.
You could use the "et" (and) in either or both of two ways. The first would be to say "of the Emperor Franz Joseph AND of the Empress Sissi of Austro-Hungary". That would be correct because you're saying BOTH the Emperor AND the Empress of The Same Place. The other way to use AND is at the end of a list, for the final member. The gold lettering does it one way, and the silver lettering does it the other way.
They could have done both ways (two instances of "et"), as a third option, but they didn't. Sorry if I'm giving Creed any ideas of how to increase controversy and hype!
You know - what's surprising to me is that this place doesn't offer fake Creed. They offer fake everything else, but not Creed. Go figure.
Still no answer on the obvious batch/lot number question. Hmm
I don't have a signature fragrance. My signature changes a little bit every day, why shouldn't my fragrance?
My theory is that the Creed employees finish off a couple of cases of Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon before starting a new production run. That and possibly a 3 hour work week has to explain all of the craziness coming out of Creed France.
Or...Olivier makes this stuff in his garage. It's difficult to make a good batch when your wife is yelling at you to take out the garbage.
BTW, I've always been a fan of Original Carlos Santana. Whenever you take the cap off, the bottle plays Oye Como Va.
Oh crap, another Creed thread...Look, Creed products have such poor quality assurance that 5 bottles of any random creed all smell different. Labels peel, pumps squeak and fall off, boxes contain random spelling mistakes. If you want to be trendy buy any fake Creed and pretend it is real. If you want genuine, pay through the nose get it at Creed boutique, and still have an inferior quality product.

My royal oud has the same text on it. I wouldn't necessarily call it wrong grammar - you just have to know that franz joseph and sissy were a couple. Perfectly correct. Yes, I do speak french.
I think even if I got a fake Creed I'd have a real hard time differentiate between the real stuff. They are so fleeting after the initial powerful burst, it's ridiculous really.
Don't buy them on eBay. Buy them on Amazon and choose a reputable seller with good Feedback. I have 6 full bottles of Creed and they are all authentic.

Anyway, I was finally able to read the lot # off of the back of the bottle. It took a high powered flashlight AND a magnifying glass, but...
Royal Delight
2.5 oz
Let's analyse this. Now the "FP" opening is not unheard of on a lot #, but it's very rare and the general consensus is that it's supposed to be the lot # for Flacons, which this is not. Perhaps the opening letter, or letters, is a regional destination code instead. The openings that I've read about are A, C, S, and FP
55 - is the code for Royal Delight
09 - is most likely the year it was made
B - is a completely unknown variable at this point
01 - would be the quarter of the year in which it was made, as this number is never anything other than 01, 02, 03, or 04
The fact still remains that my Royal Delight doesn't smell right, so I'm still left with the possibilities that Creed has dogshit quality control OR the fakers have at least partially decoded the lot #s
I'm currently on vacation because it's the end of the year and I had days I needed to use, and this is EXACTLY how I wanted to spend it. I fucking hate myself.
Anyway, I know I should be at Neiman's right now. It isn't even that far away at the mall in White Plains, but I hate people and I really hate crowds and it's December.

I bought it from Beautyencounter, and it's really looking like it's authentic and Creed just sucks hot ass.
This whole situation is really getting under my skin, can you tell?
Well aren't you just a ray of sunshine.Originally Posted by Sunsetspawn;
Any counterfeiter making fake Royal Delight would probably have a printing press ginning up fake one dollar bills.
It's not fake. Let it be. And don't bother buying any more Royal Delight, which is a terrible fragrance.

2. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino
3. Hermes Concentre d'Orange Verte
4. Bond No. 9 New Haarlem
5. Creed Original Vetiver
The easiest way to spot a fake Creed is to see if the bottle cap is loose or tight. If the cap is tight then it's definitely a fake.
Why is Beautyencounter selling Creed's from 2009 in the year 2012? Weren't they the ones who used to file off batch numbers or was that fragrancenet? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

MIMAROGLU, ILHAN: Agitation
Quantity in Basket:none
Long overdue reissue of 2 very rare Folkways LPs. These are that rare commodity, politically explicit music, and rarer - they are complex and experimental music. Billed as electronic at the time (1968-1972) these seminal compositions mix electronics, Musique Concréte, multiple media fragments, vocal and instrumental sources to powerful effect; underwriting a freshness and immediacy seldom found in this field (Trevor Wishart honourably excepted). These are not polished gems but living, twisting things; which is not to say they are simple - their form is highly evolved and sophisticated, exploring techniques that would not be taken up for a decade and more. Soaked in the heat of its time and as full of ideas as if that time might end at any moment - this work pulls absolutely no punches. We need a Mimarolglu right now. Historic, and unequivocally recommended.

Comments about 20V Cordless Lithium Ion 1/2 in. Drill Driver Kit:
This was my first Porter Cable unit since the early 2000s, when they made very heavy-duty electric drills. While this is clearly a consumer unit, it excels, and could be used in the pro ranks. The drill is lightweight, but has nearly as much torque as my Milwaukee cordless system. It is more civilized, however, and much easier to handle and is better in jobs where accuracy counts. so far, it's been a joy to use. The power curve is fine, the batteries seem to give good service and the charger gets them back on the job in far less than an hour. The kit comes with the drill, two batteries and the charger - all in a nice compact hard case. The price on the kit from CPO was a slam-dunk.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Liposomal Glutathione for pregnancy.
18 people found the following review helpful
Posted by TrueReviews on Nov 15, 2013
I got this product because I read that glutathione is very important during pregnancy. It is one of the most potent antioxidants, it neutralises heavy metals, pesticides, air pollution and it also highly concentrated in the placenta. Liposomal glutathione is much better absorbed by the body. It is worth investing in this ingredient. The taste is not very good, it is definitely better to dilute it in juice. Click on my username for more reviews! If you thought that this review was helpful please feel free to press the 'yes' button.

Wow, woke up this morning coughing, congested and wheezy. A packet of GSH and their lipo C cleared it right up in about 20 minutes. Better than bronkaid.

The product is high quality and effective and I intend to continue using it. However if you are a super-taster you wil find the taste repulsive. I recommend Now Foods sugar free drinks sticks to take it with. Acai Lemonade is the best.
Price too high for unknown results
10 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer2786187 on Oct 04, 2013
I have placed and received nearly two hundred orders from iHerb over the years, (great service)and this product is the most expensive, as well as the worse tasting, that I have ordered. It would probably be worth the expense, and bad taste, if the product does what it claims to do. I received it the second week of September 2013 and the expiration date on the package is October 2013 (EXP 10-2013). I read on another website that this product has a short shelf life. If that be the case, it should say so on the package. I have to wonder if the product I received has lost most or all of its potency, considering the expiration date. Having taken it daily for three weeks now, I feel no different. Fair to mention I have no known health problems. There is a direct correlation between how much glutathione people have in their system and the length of time they live. In general, greater glutathione levels equals longer life span. However, it is highly unlikely I will order this product again until the price is greatly reduced.

The defendant may file a claim against the plaintiff. This is called a counterclaim. The defendant must file the claim at least 5 days before the date set for a hearing (Saturday, Sunday, and holidays are not included).
The defendant must also pay a filing fee of $80.00 and the Conciliation Court office will notify the plaintiff if a counterclaim is filed. The counterclaim will be heard at the same date and time as the plaintiff's claim.
If the counterclaim is more that $10,000.00, the plaintiff's claim will be taken off of the calendar and the hearing will not be held. If the defendant fails to start an action in District Court based upon the counterclaim within 30 days, the plaintiff can reinstate the action in Conciliation Court. Conciliation court will mail notice of the new trial date to the parties by first class mail. Reinstatement of the Conciliation Court case is done by filing an affidavit with Conciliation Court. The affidavit must say that the defendant has not served you with a District Court summons stating his counterclaim.
How do you prepare for the hearing?
Conciliation Court hearings are informal, but you must be prepared to present your case. Attorneys are only allowed to represent parties in conciliation court without permission of the court. All parties and witnesses who appear will testify under oath. The witnesses should be present and ready to testify. If a witness is reluctant to appear, you may get a subpoena to compel them to appear. You can get a subpoena from the Conciliation Court office. You will need one subpoena for each witness you want to testify. There is a fee of $18.00 for each subpoena requested. Written statements and affidavits of persons not present in court have little value and in some cases may not be allowed as evidence.
You should also bring to court all other evidence, such as receipts, repair bills, estimates, photographs and other items to help prove your claim. You can also get a subpoena for documents relating to your claim that the defendant or some other person has but will not give to you.
Before you go to court, prepare a list of facts you wish to present. Organize your presentation as clearly and completely as possible so you will not forget important facts and details.
What happens if you do not appear for the hearing?
All parties must appear. If you do not appear for the hearng, the Court may dismiss your claim or award a default judgment against you. This may happen even if you originally brought the claim. If the defendant does not appear, the Court may award a default judgment in your favor.

Keep looking even while negotiating for that perfect space you found. With a credible alternative, you can drive a harder bargain.
He or she can tell you how much usable space you're actually getting and how much construction work it's going to take to get the office you want before you start negotiating.
Use a spreadsheet to calculate the net present value of a deal, and so you can weigh one-time benefits against higher monthly rents. Often, landlords prefer to give you concessions up front -- a few months' rent free or money for construction -- if it means they can charge a higher monthly rent over the life of your lease. (Their banks like to see that they are charging high rents.) For you, this can be the same as taking out a loan, perhaps even at a negative interest rate.
I'm told it's amazing how many tenants sign leases without ever checking to see if the building has clean, well-maintained bathrooms.
If you are in a city and your building is next to a vacant lot or a "taxpayer" (a one-story, low-rent building whose owner is content to hold on and pay property tax on the land until something bigger goes up on it), there's a good chance your views and natural light will go away when the lot next door finally gets developed.

Corporations run our lives, whether we like it or not. Everyday we see misleading commercials for products on our screens. You might think you are not influenced by commercials, but they certainly have effect, thats why they're so expensive(on tv at least). The power these corporations have is immense and affects everyone. Companies grow bigger and bigger and people who work at these economical giants lose a sense of personality for people at higher or lower ranks; the people at the top rarely meet their employees at the bottom.(we tend to don't think much about people working at fast food places, yet we do eat there) For both sides this creates a dehumanizing effect making it easier for these corporations to assume psychopathic tendencies like environmental damage at a large scale. Because we are so distant from all this pollution we can dismiss it as if its not there. People are particularly bad at judging long term risks and thus we underestimate the effect this has.
Most of us are living in democracies and have it pretty good(not dying from hunger, etc). Because we are used to living like this and not enough reminded that we are harming the planet, we underestimate the real price of everything. if you read this:
You are shown basic examples why democracy can be wrong. A relative small amount of people control the government, mostly rich white males. Because of this minorities are being misrepresented. To run for president you have to have a lot of money and you are bound to make deals with corporations or institutions. Because of this corporations have power. Democracy is slowly making the rich richer and the poor poorer. The government needs to stop respecting beliefs when it comes to things like Christianity and define properly what is good for someone (like exercise, healthy food, real social relations)and what are just placebo's. And then Tax these placebo's appropriately by the amount of people they reach and reduce psychopathic tendencies of large companies.
There needs to be a system which is indiscriminate when issues like conflicting social classes or environmental pollution on large scale is concerned. There also needs to be a system that brings people from different social classes together so that we reduce stereotypes and realize everyone is just human. Being human means having beliefs, and being human is about being wrong.
I would like to see a system like jury duty that people are required to do. Activities like helping drug addicts and homeless people. We have also lost our connection to food via the supermarket. if people realize what eating meat everday costs they'd think twice. i propose mandatory guided tours to butchers or seeing the fat chickens that lay the eggs you eat dying of misery in cages.
I think we live in the time where we have such power like the internet. Image the government using a system that creates projects where people with certain skills and ranges of personal beliefs are paired to work together on projects and learn the value of people regardless of if they call the man in the sky Allah or God.
The question is, how would you pay for creating these projects.
Truth Tax
Truth tax is a tax that aims to tax appropriately on products that simply can't be proven by science(like selling marijuana dowsing rods for 900$) and the pollution they cause. This tax needs to increase a certain amount for the amount of people you are selling it too.
Because of this increase, large companies must restructure to evade truth tax, the lower the truth tax the better the product.
Truth tax must not be static, but change when companies change. That way you give them positive stimuli for things like environmentalism and healthy food.
Truth tax needs to be set by teams of independent government specialists that are routinely switched so that they do not bias in favor of one company.
Truth tax needs to be absolutely transparent.
The government needs to slap the consumer in the face and say, "This is the reality we are living in and things don't just cost what the price say's it does".
Because we are living in peace in a democracy doesn't mean democracy causes peace.
We need to know, collectively, when we are wrong. People need to be saved from themselves but we must not ban religion or use it as a scapegoat. The government needs to reduce the power of corporations and make it their job to market healthy and responsible products.
We need to abolish ancient policies built on racism like drug prohibition and realize we must be sensible as a collective.
Also the school system needs to be reshaped in ways that allow spiritual development without labeling it as Christian or Muslim. Because schools are so focussed on grades and achievements we alienate and instill hate for authority at an early age in some individuals. The ultimate anarchy is drug use but we are not educated in the difference in drugs, just that they are bad.
We need to focus on individuals, and what they love to do, and find a way for them to find a job they actually like and not just endlessly competing for more money and power. and if they don't know what they love to do, make them try different things.
it sounds a lot like communism, i know. We are so scared to address when democracy is wrong(like going to war) and don't know how to unite and stop it.
because companies have such power this system will be very hard to implement.

Little Tiny Shoots
Hi bulb buddies
How are your bulbs getting on? Remember to watch them closely as from January onwards you may start to see little green shoots pushing up through the soil – it's very exciting when they first appear! I was so happy when I went outside this week and saw these little tiny shoots in my plant pots – they are so lovely!
Archbishop Hutton's Primary School sent me this message: A. and J. came running to tell me that our first crocuses have appeared over the weekend and we have taken some photos of them.
That's fantastic news! Well done A. and J.! I am really glad you are so excited about your plants. I would love to see your photos, maybe you could email them to me?
I hope you are all enjoying your investigation bulb buddies. When your plants start to peep through the soil, why don't you take some photos too? If you email them to me I will put them on this blog.
- Keep up the great work sending in your weather reports.
- Watch for your first shoots to arrive.
- Keep watching every day as they grow taller.
- When you flowers open - celebrate!! Then record the date and how high the plant is.
- Send me your Flower Records on the website.

Stormy Winter
Happy New Year Bulb buddies! I hope you all had a fun Christmas.
It has been a very stormy in the last few weeks in many parts of the UK. Weather scientists at the Met Office say that this is due to the jet stream – a narrow band of fast moving winds high up in the atmosphere. The jet stream blows from west to east across the Atlantic Ocean and can bring us stormy weather.
December 2013 was the windiest month in the UK since January 1993. It has also been very rainy - in Scotland December was the wettest month since 1910. That means it hasn't rained that much in Scotland for over 100 years! What has the weather been like where you live?
All this rain and stormy weather has meant that there have been floods in parts of England, Wales and Scotland, and sadly some people's houses were flooded at Christmas. In areas close to the seaside giant waves also caused flooding.
Why do some areas flood and others don't? Use these maps to investigate!
Study the first map of Aberystwyth in Wales, where there has been flooding. Can you see the wiggly lines called 'contour lines' that show the shape of the mountains and hills? Can you see the sea and the river shown in blue? When rain falls in the surrounding area it runs down the hills into the river then into the sea. If there is very heavy rainfall the river may flood. If it is very stormy there may be very large waves. Where do you think it might flood? Hint – flooding can happen in low lying areas and areas near rivers and the sea. This link has some animations about the different factors that cause a flood.
Study the second map from the Environment Agency – the purple areas show where there is risk of flooding. Is the flood risk where you thought it would be?
Now you can investigate the area where you live…
First search for your school on the first map. Can you see any contour lines? Where is the high land and the low land? Is there a river, lake or the sea nearby? Where might it flood?
Next search for your school on the second map. Make sure you tick the two boxes 'Flood Warning areas' and 'Flood Alert areas' on the left of the page, flood risk areas will then show up in purple. Is there a flood risk in your area? Is the flood risk where you thought it would be?

3,300-Year-Old Jade Tool Raises Origin Questions
by AMNH on
The discovery of a small jade tool that was dropped into the waters off an island in the Southwest Pacific about 3,300 years ago is stirring up questions about its origin. The reason for puzzlement: the small green artifact has a chemical composition that is unlike any other described jade, and it was found thousands of miles away from the nearest known geological source.
An international team of archaeologists and geologists from the American Museum of Natural History, the University of Otago (New Zealand), and the University of Papua New Guinea investigate this unusual specimen in a special issue of the European Journal of Mineralogy on jadeitite, the rock that defines one type of jade.

Aging is an inevitable part of life and while we can't stop the process, we can help our skin look its best as we pass through the decades. Identifying the biggest challenges of aging skin is the first step toward creating an effective anti-aging regimen. Most of the signs of aging are caused from factors such as sun exposure, pollution, smoking and other environmental stressors. These causes breakdown collagen and elastin, leading to fine lines, uneven skin tone, deep wrinkles and sagging skin. Using the correct products targeted toward anti-aging can help reverse the damage that has been done or prevent future damage from occurring.
After cleansing and/or exfoliating, the next step is a targeted treatment product. Anti-aging serums generally contain the most concentrated form of ingredients, making them vital to your daily regimen. There are several recommended anti-aging ingredients. The best method is to combine ingredients for optimal results.
