Democrats may be approaching a golden age in Orange County, and who they select as their next leader Monday night could make the difference.
Two political veterans are vying to replace the even more veteran Frank Barbaro, who served a stint a party chairman in the 1970s and was recruited to return to the unpaid post 12 years ago. He's said he's stepping down because he's weary of the infighting – and bringing together those competing interests will be a chief challenge for his replacement.
Both candidates – gay activist Jeff LeTourneau and longtime party volunteer Henry Vandermeir – have vowed to devote more hours than the incumbent has in building those bridges and expanding the party's reach.
"I work 60 to 70 hours a week in my law practice," Barbaro said. "Both Jeff and Henry would have more time than I have."
Barbaro leaves with the county party on the ascent. The GOP advantage in voter registration has shrunk from 22 percentage points in 1990 to just under 10 points. Broad majorities of Latinos and Asians are voting for Democrats, and the growing Latino population is projected to be majority of the county's residents by 2040.
Republicans need their fortunes to shift among Latinos and Asians – two county GOP outreach planning meetings are being held this month to address the issue – if they are to reverse their slide. On the other hand, Democrats' share of voters is not reflected by the number of local office holders.
"We have over a half-million registered Democrats, and we don't have that proportion of Democratic elected officials," Vandermeir said.
LeTourneau agreed and said the party needed to take advantage of Democratic-leaning voters by getting them to be more active in the party.
"The county's demographics are changing, and it's up to us to organize that," LeTourneau said. "Unfortunately, the Democratic Party has not lived up to its potential in bringing in young people and Latinos and Asian Americans."
Different factions
At first glance, LeTourneau, 56, and Vandermeir, 54, seem to represent different factions in the party.
Brea's LeTourneau is a self-employed private investigator whose background is heavy with union experience – organizing Knott's Berry Farm workers and working for the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Local 681 in Orange County – and LGBT activism.
He's made his biggest mark on the political landscape as chairman of the Elections Committee of the County of Orange, which raised more than $2 million for backing gay-friendly candidates throughout the state.
Ladera Ranch's Vandermeir, following a lucrative career writing computer books, has devoted much of the last 15 years to volunteer work for the party. He worked his way up the Democratic grassroots chain, starting with a post as Democratic club chairman.
He currently is the elected volunteer chairman of the California Democratic Council, which provides training and organizing for the state's Democratic clubs. Membership in the council has increased from 4,000 to 20,000 during his three terms. Vandermeir also has a paid, part-time job as executive director for the Democratic Foundation of Orange County, a group of about 80 of the county's wealthiest Democratic donors.

i am thinking of trying to get a glow round together in the next few weeks. i am thinking about august 1st. i have not checked yet to see what other events may be that date but thats just a date to toss around. i dont mind picking up glow sticks for all the baskets and hanging them so it's ready when everyone gets there. also the thought that the course may be a little to rough for a glow round came up at leagues tonight. it is up to the player but at buffalow's glow round last week we used the very small glowsticks taped to the bottom of a light colored champion disc and they were so well lit up that we never had a problem walking straight to it from your drive even if you got in the rough.
so with all that said who would be interested in playing? -andy

Set the maximum Idle time for a connection, which roughly translates to the Socket.setSoTimeout(int) call, although with NIO implementations other mechanisms may be used to implement the timeout. The max idle time is applied: when waiting for a new request to be received on a connection; when reading the headers and content of a request; when writing the headers and content of a response. Jetty interprets this value as the maximum time between some progress being made on the connection. So if a single byte is read or written, then the timeout (if implemented by jetty) is reset. However, in many instances, the reading/writing is delegated to the JVM, and the semantic is more strictly enforced as the maximum time a single read/write operation can take.

Grafted plants cost more, but also deliver much more
Ball Horticultural Co. / Mark Widhalm
Towers, cages or some kind of trellis system are required because the grafted plants are so vigorous and grow so tall that they need additional support.
Ball Horticultural Co. / Robin Bachtler Cushman
Side-by-side tests run by Ball Horticultural Co. show at least 50 percent higher yields from grafted tomato transplants (left) over nongrafted varieties (right).
Tomatoes seem to be the grafted transplants most frequently offered, providing greater disease tolerance, bigger harvests, increased vigor and better taste.
Side-by-side tests done by Ball Horticultural Co. in Chicago have shown at least 50 percent higher yields from grafted tomatoes than from nongrafted varieties. That total varies from garden to garden and gardener to gardener, but it means more fruit or larger fruit.
Grafted plants are also pricier, in part because grafting is labor intensive.
"You're also paying for disease insurance and a greatly improved yield," said Scott Mozingo, product manager for Burpee Home Gardens, a Ball Horticultural subsidiary. "You're paying more, but what you're getting is so much more."
Grafting is an ancient horticultural practice that fuses tissues from one genetically different plant to those from another, combining, for example, disease management with heirloom flavors. Think apple trees, grapevines and roses.
Vegetables have been late entries in large-scale grafting programs intended for home gardeners, particularly in the United States. But that is about to change.
"It's been primarily because the (horticultural) industry here hasn't been set up for it," Mozingo said. "Grafted vegetables have been big in Asia for 70 years. In Europe, for about a decade. It's been largely a supply problem, but I think they're going to be a very big thing in seed catalogs next season. A very big thing in retail, too."
Grafted plants aren't any more difficult to work with than nongrafted ones, but do require slightly different management. That includes:
Planting them deeper: "They're tall tomato plants so they need a deeper base," Mozingo said. "But don't bury the grafts. Those should be above the soil line or you cancel out the benefits."
Pruning: "The plants are so vigorous that they produce a lot of vegetative material," said Josh Kirschenbaum, product development coordinator and spokesman for Territorial Seed Co. in Cottage Grove, Ore. "There won't be as much fruit production if they don't get pruned."
Adding trellises: "Towers or cages are pretty close to being mandatory," Kirschenbaum said. "These plants are so energetic and grow so tall that it's important you give them some kind of support."
Easing off on the chemicals: Grafted vegetables have better natural defenses against ground-borne diseases and insects. Fewer pesticides and herbicides are needed.
The potted plants will be offered with single or double grafts. Grafted peppers and eggplant will be offered along with tomatoes in many catalogs. Grafted cucumbers and watermelons may be added to the inventory once nurseries solve the logistics.
"Both vine out pretty quickly," Kirschenbaum said. "We aren't ruling them out, but we will have to come up with a clever way to get those plants shipped to our customers."
At least one additional benefit can be derived from gardening with grafted plants: their entertainment value.
"It's fun to say you can grow red cherry tomatoes and orange cherry tomatoes on one plant," Kirschenbaum said. "Or Beefsteaks with a Roma."

Member States conducting space launches have been requested by the Committee to provide the United Nations with information on their launchings. A registry of launchings has been maintained by the Secretariat since 1962, in accordance with General Assembly resolution 1721 B (XVI), and information from Member States has been issued in United Nations documents in the A/AC.105/INF series. Since the Convention on Registration of Objects Launched into Outer Space entered into force in 1976, another register of launchings has been established for information received from Member States and intergovernmental organizations that are parties to the Convention.
As of 1 January 2011, 56 States have acceded/ratified, 4 have signed and two international intergovernmental organizations (European Space Agency and European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites) have declared their acceptance of the rights and obligations provided for in the Registration Convention. The information received in accordance with the Convention has been issued in United Nations documents in the ST/SG/SER.E series. The A/AC.105/INF series continues with information provided by States who are not party to the treaty. Approximately 93.5% of all functional space objects (satellites, probes/landers, manned spacecraft, space station components, etc) have been registered with the Secretary-General.
The Registration Convention provides that the launching State should furnish to the United Nations, as soon as practicable, the following information concerning each space object:
Under these arrangements information has been received from Algeria, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Chile, Czech Republic, Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Poland, Republic of Korea, Russian Federation, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, United States of America and Venezuela as well as from the European Space Agency (ESA) and the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT).

Revision as of 17:37, 3 April 2014
|Wisconsin Constitution
The current Wisconsin Constitution contains a brief preamble and fourteen articles detailing the state government, its powers, and its limitations.
Although Wisconsin continues to use the original constitution ratified as Wisconsin achieved statehood, the current constitution is the second document to be proposed as the state constitution. In 1846, the residents of Wisconsin Territory first voted to apply for statehood, and they elected 124 representatives to meet in Madison to author a state constitution. These delegates, most of them elected as Democrats, met in the fall of 1846 to write the constitution. However, the document they produced by December 1846 contained several provisions which were deemed radical at the time. The document give married women the right to own property and allowed for a public referendum to settle the issue of African American suffrage. In addition, Edward G. Ryan, the delegate from Racine, Wisconsin, introduced a section to the constitution that prohibited all commercial banking in Wisconsin. Not ready to accept some of these provisions, the public rejected the first proposed constitution in a referendum and elected a second delegation to write a constitution which would be more acceptable to the people.
The second constitutional convention produced a much more conservative document that lacked the controversial progressive clauses in its predecessor. The second draft constitution was mute on the controversial issues of women's property rights. It gave suffrage only to white male citizens over the age of twenty one and American Indians that had been made citizens of the United States, but gave the legislature the ability to extend suffrage to other groups through laws approved by public referendum. The issue of banking was put to a public vote; citizens could decide for themselves whether or not the state legislature could pass laws allowing banking after the constitution was ratified. The second proposed constitution was finished in December 1846, and was approved by the public in March 1848. During the same election, voters also chose to allow the legislature to charter banks. Shortly after the referendum, the state constitution was ratified by the United States Senate and put into effect with the election of the first state officials.
Declaration of Rights
The first article of the Wisconsin constitution outlines the legal rights of state citizens. In addition to reaffirming the rights guaranteed in the United States Bill of Rights, Article I of the Wisconsin Constitution offers additional guarantees to its citizens. Among these are sections which prohibit imprisonment for debt, guarantee resident aliens the same property rights as citizens, affirm that the military is subordinate to civil authorities, allow for the use of state owned school buildings by civil and religious organizations during non-school hours, and guarantee the right of citizens to hunt and fish.
The Wisconsin Legislature is described in Article IV of the Wisconsin Constitution. It is divided into two houses, the Wisconsin State Assembly and Wisconsin State Senate. The constitution sets forth the method of electing legislators and gives their terms as two years for representatives to the assembly and four years for senators. It allows bills to originate in either house, and gives each house the ability to amend bills already passed by the other. In addition, the Wisconsin Constitution outlines certain limitations to the power of the legislative branch of government. The state legislature is prohibited by the constitution from authorizing gambling, although amendments have introduced numerous exceptions to this rule including an allowance for bingo games held by certain non-profit organizations and a state lottery. The legislature is also prohibited from passing legislation affecting certain private business, such as voting to change a person's name.
Executive Branch
Article V of the Wisconsin Constitution describes executive office in the state, providing for a governor and lieutenant governor who are elected jointly to four year terms. The constitution also outlines the powers and duties of the executive branch. The governor of Wisconsin is given command of the state's military forces and empowered to pardon convicts. The Wisconsin Constitution also allows the governor to veto bills passed by the state legislature. The governor is also given line-item veto power over bills of appropriation, allowing the executive to cut out certain parts of legislation. The constitution does, however, prohibit the governor to create a new word in a bill by objecting to certain letters. Rejected bills or portions of bills are then returned to the legislative house where the bill originated, where a vote from two thirds of the members can override the veto.
Article V also sets forth a line of succession for the governor should he resign, be removed, or die. In the absence of a governor, executive power is transferred to the lieutenant governor, and in cases where both the governor and lieutenant governor are unable to fulfill executive responsibilities, these powers are transferred to the Wisconsin Secretary of State.
Article VI of the Wisconsin Constitution describes other administrative positions, providing for a secretary of state, treasurer, and attorney general to be elected to four year terms. This article also describes rules for various elected officials on the county level.
Judicial Branch
The Wisconsin Constitution outlines the state's judicial branch in Article VII, granting judicial power in the state to a unified Wisconsin Supreme Court consisting of seven justices elected to ten year terms. The justice who has been serving longest is given the powers of chief justice. In addition to the supreme court, the constitution provides for the Wisconsin Circuit Courts, which each have districts prescribed by the legislature with borders following county boundaries. An intermediary body between the supreme court and the circuit courts, the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, is also established in the state constitution. Finally, the legislature is granted power to form municipal courts with jurisdiction over individual cities, villages, and towns in the state.
Article VII of the Wisconsin Constitution also describes the process for impeaching and trying state officials. A majority of members in the state assembly can vote to impeach a civil officer. The state senate is then given the power to conduct a trial of the impeached official. If two thirds of the senators present vote to convict the officer, the convicted party is removed from office and made subject to further prosecution under law.
Amending the Constitution
- See also: Amending state constitutions
Article XII of the Wisconsin Constitution provides two methods of amendment:
- An amendment may be proposed and approved by a simple majority of both chambers of the Wisconsin State Legislature. That proposed amendment must then be considered by the state legislature chosen at the next general election in the state -- and, before that legislative session, the proposed amendment that it will consider must be published for three months prior to the election. Should the amendment be approved by a simple majority of this second session that considers it, the proposed amendment is then placed on a statewide ballot at a general election. If it is approved by a simple majority of the state's electorate, it becomes part of the constitution.
- If a simple majority of both houses of the Wisconsin State Legislature votes in favor of this, a constitutional convention question shall be placed on a statewide ballot. If the electors of the state agree by a simple majority to call a constitutional convention, then one shall be convened by the state legislature during its next session.

GASTONIA — While South Point tries to pull off something it's never done in the Gaston County Baseball Tournament, Forestview will attempt to do what no team has been able to accomplish all season.
South Point is going for back-to-back titles for the first time while the Jaguars try to become the first team to defeat the Red Raiders this season as the two square off in the tournament championship game Friday. First pitch is scheduled for 7 p.m. at Sims Legion Park.
"I think it's always a big deal any time you play in the championship," South Point coach Jason Lineberger said. "We've talked about what a challenge it was to try to come back and play in it again because we've never been able to do that, so I think we'll be excited about it."
South Point (12-0) owns more championships (seven) in this tournament than any other participant but has never reached the title game in two consecutive years.
The Red Raiders beat Ashbrook 9-1 in the first round and Hunter Huss 12-2 in five innings in the semifinals to advance.
Forestview (10-4) reached the title game by beating East Gaston 11-1 in six innings in the opening round and slipping past North Gaston 2-0 in the semifinals.
Forestview, winner of the 2002 and 2009 titles, is making its fourth championship appearance in five years but has lost to South Point the past two trips (2010 and 2012). South Point beat the Jaguars 6-0 in last year's title game.
"The reason it's a rivalry is because of how good South Point is," Forestview coach Brian Horne said. "They have our respect. They're one of the best teams in the state right now. … We hope to come out and show them that we're capable of playing with anybody in the state. In order to do that, we're going to have to have our A game."
South Point beat Forestview 3-2 earlier this season in Big South 3A Conference action.
Cole Poole has delivered a triple in both tournament games this week for Forestview and has driven in four runs. Aaron Nanney and Boone Owenby have accounted for two hits each while Aaron Rumburg and Trey Stallings have pitched complete-game wins.
Dan Johnson has tallied six hits for the tournament, including a 4-for-4 performance in the semifinals, to lead South Point. Derek Perry and Aaron Mauldin have connected for three hits each while Aaron Biggerstaff and Andrew Locklear have tossed complete-game victories for the Red Raiders.
South Point will play its third consecutive game without senior center fielder Dustin Wiles, who broke his hand diving for a ball in practice last weekend, Lineberger said. Wiles, who plans to play collegiately at Hampden-Sydney next season, became South Point's third college signee to suffer a major injury this season. The others were Justin Pace (Winthrop) and Mitchell Painter (North Greenville), who both required Tommy John surgery.
Wiles, a three-year starter in center field, is expected to miss six weeks but could possibly return for the playoffs, Lineberger said.
South Point is missing a fourth regular contributor in utility player Adam Andrew, who broke a thumb stumbling during the March 16 game at T.C. Roberson. He's out 4-6 weeks, Lineberger said.
"It's definitely been tough," Lineberger said. "We started off the season with a lot of depth and it's a good thing because we don't have a whole lot any more."
Schedule shift
Both tournament games scheduled for Thursday were rained out and rescheduled for Friday.
Weather permitting, games will begin at 10:30 p.m. at Sims Legion Park with the seventh-place game between Ashbrook and Cherryville. The fifth-place game between Bessemer City and Ashbrook will follow at 1 p.m. Hunter Huss will then meet North Gaston in the third-place game at 4 before South Point and Forestview play for the title at 7.

One of the fundamental objectives of the Olympic Movement, alongside sport and culture, the environment is the third dimension of Olympism.
The Centennial Olympic Congress, Congress of Unity, held in Paris in 1994, recognised the importance of the environment and sustainable development, which led to the inclusion of a paragraph in Rule 2 of the Olympic Charter.
The IOC has acknowledged its particular responsibility in terms of promoting sustainable development, and regards the environment as the third dimension of Olympism, alongside sport and culture. This led to its decision in 1995 to create an IOC Sport and Environment Commission. Furthermore, NOCs are encouraged to establish a Sport and Environment Commission on a local level.
The Sport and Environment Commission meets once a year.
The Commission's role is to advise the IOC Executive Board on what policy the IOC and Olympic Movement should adopt in terms of environmental protection and support for sustainable development and, through its members, supports the IOC programmes and activities in this field.

Strengths: Looks cool, cool name, seats tubeless well, holds air well on my Stans ZTR Crest 29rs.
Came with my Wheels/Chris King hub setup.
Weaknesses: I am only giving these 1 chili b/c the 4.x overall that they have here is ridiculous. These are worse than useless when it is wet out, I have tried it down to 19 psi tubeless, still slick as ice when wet on rocks and roots, you know when you need the traction.........
Spots I used to make all the time on my Stans "The Raven" I now no longer trust my bike to stay under me. If you only ride the dry trails WHEN it is dry they will be ok. If you like to get out and ride all the time and try different trails and variety, DO NOT get these.

Strengths: Excellent, predictable grip with lots of warning and controllability if it lets go. Wears well and rolls well. No wobbles in the carcass.
Is TRUE TO SIZE! (looking at you WTB and Maxxis) A 2.3 Psycho Genius actually measures 2.3 at the tread, with the casing being slightly smaller, when mounted on a 24mm external width rim. This gives a good amount of volume for trail conformance. I'm tired of manufacturers that label a 2.1 tire "2.3" to trick us out of money. Buy a quality ruler and use it, guys.
Light-ish for its size but still durable. Granted I only run it on the front, but there's hardly any apparent wear after several hundred miles and no missing lugs. I've ping ponged off lots of jagged rocks without issue. No issues mounting tubeless.
Weaknesses: Not quite knobby enough for really nasty, loose, steep stuff. Hans Dampf is better in this respect.

I found they out perfromed all my old tires in the leaves this fall. I think the triangle design helps them to cut through to the dirt below.
FWIW - I am running 2.3's front and back on a 5.5" travel trail bike. I ride hardpaked clay and dirt. There are lots and lots of roots on my local trails.

Strengths: Grip
Weaknesses: Not for weight weenies
Bottom Line:
So far, the Tioga PsyGen has delivered in spaces. The grip is great through the Cuyuna Gold, which is to be expected. (Please note: the Cuyuna Gold hardpack is, even dry, especially grippy. Its in its slightly damp "hero dirt" phase, so pretty much anything this side of slick would be grippy.) When the trail turns to scree, rock slabs, or sand these tires seem to still grip fine. Even at speed on long downhills they seem to hold on far past the point you would expect. Since we do not ride wet trails in Minnesota, I can not comment on the wet grip abilities of these tires.
They appear to be very durable as well. No slashes or even nicks from sharp iron ore rocks. Many a far more expensive have lost to the shards that litter the trails. To have a "value" tire that holds up this well is encouraging.
About the only thing I have against them is that for weight weenies they might be a bit portly. But just don't have that second cupcake before the ride and you make up the difference.
In conclusion, I'm finding that the Psycho Genius' are doing everything I expected them to do and more. They may not have the marketing that some other tires from a larger manufacturer have, but they put their effort where it counts: where the tire meets the trail.
I think the value is 5 Chilies and I'm giving them a 4 Chili overall rating for now. As I ride more and conditions change that might change.

Strengths: So far, it's been a durable tire. I think I've been riding close to a year on the 2.1 in front and it still looks in good shape. Rolling resistance is really low and it feels lighter than its weight. I plan on getting another for the back once my Captain tire is done so I can only comment on its use up front. I've ridden it in the rocky, sandy and slightly damp soil of Bend and our dry lose over hardpack and bottomless sand of So Cal and it works just fine in both. Easy to steer and pick a line, it almost seems to read my mind. It replaced a very stable (but slow) Eskar 2.3 and I don't feel that I've lost much cornering ability or traction but it rolls so much smoother. I'm running it converted to tubeless with the Gorilla tape method and it setup without an issue and has not burped once. It's just about everything I am looking for in an all around trail tire.
Weaknesses: Yea, no direction indicator. I actually rode it for about a month backwards (wasn't bad). Would prefer having a 2.0 size for the rear and a 2.2 up front instead of the 2.1 or 2.3 size choice for general trail riding.

Weaknesses: I thought this tire was going to be great due to all the good reviews it has received. It might be the the type of riding I am doing, but after only a few months of riding in Balm Boyette, this tire is pretty much shredded. The knobbies have worn off, there are deep gouges in the tire, and I don't expect it to last much longer.

Date Reviewed: March 2, 2011
Strengths: There is absolutely no doubt about it. This Tire is the most efficient and grippy rear tire I have ever mounted on a rim. I used to run Kenda Nevegal - Tomac editions front and rear, but now, this Tioga has surpassed all the previous tires I have ever used for rear traction, stability, cornering, dependability and, hands down, this tire is the best at keeping and maintaining its traction from a dead start. This tire will get you moving from a dead start on any trail, trail condition, and trail steepness. My Kendas were fine, or at least I thought they were fine in the area of traction and when I was having difficulty with lack of traction I blamed my riding and balance. That was not the case and the Tioga Psycho Genius proved me wrong. They dig in, grip, bite, call it what you will, but mostly you'll call it confidence. These tires are difficult to locate for a reasonable price but I found them out of state @ Ridethis.com and then price smashed @ Cambria for a great deal. I ride an Intense Spyder and my only issue was the 2.3 circumference size which with this high volume tire rubbed slightly. I sanded the side knobs down by a couple of millimeters and the fit was right on after that. I'm running WTB Weirwolf LT on the front and combined with the Tioga Psycho on the rear I'm so tuned in to the trails I ride that getting out on The Saratoga Gap, Skeggs, Water Dog, all trails I can't even name.......ROCK!!! Buy this tire on Ridethis.com, Cambria, Treefort.com and you won't be disappointed.
Weaknesses: None found

I'd like to thank the Genius who thought up this Psycho idea to design this tire.

There are only two days left in the rest of 2012, the year the Mayans predicted would be the Earth's last. I'm pretty happy they were wrong.
As you can see throughout today's edition of Ye Olde Kinston Daily Free Press, we're taking the time to recap the top stories of the year in news and sports (on Tuesday).
The employees of TFP voted for their top stories – here's how I voted in the news and sports categories, followed by a brief explanation of why I did so.
My top 5 news stories of 2012:
1. State Rep. Stephen LaRoque is indicted on federal charges of theft and misuse of funds from his small business lending agencies: Rep. LaRoque is – according to whom you speak – the perfect public servant or the devil. I'll say this much about him: he has a certain cult of personality that attracts some people and revolts others at the same time. His legal woes are far from over and he's set to go to trial in 2013. Stay tuned – the conclusion of LaRoque's time in court are sure to be one of the top stories of the New Year.
2. Former Kinston City Council member Will Barker charged with third-degree sexual exploitation of a child: Was there a more shocking story in 2012 than the arrest of Barker, one of the bright young minds in Kinston? Like LaRoque, he'll have his day in court in the New Year, and we'll see if there is any truth to the allegations.
3. U.S. Department of Justice reverses itself and OK's nonpartisan elections in Kinston: Finally, common sense prevailed and the DOJ allowed the citizens of Kinston to think for themselves. Finally. And props to Rep. LaRoque, John Nix and the others who stood up for voters' rights in Kinston.
4. CSS Neuse is moved from his outdoor location to a new indoor home downtown: It was a beautiful day to move 110 tons of the future of Kinston's downtown tourism. The sight of the remains of the Neuse on Vernon Avenue and Queen Street is one I'll never forget.
5. Kinston's Woodmen Community Center opens to the public: For years, this town has not had a YMCA-type facility that would help attract new businesses and residents. Now, we have a state-of-the-art gym, swimming pools and water park that are going to bring in exponentially more dollars than the ones invested in it.
My top 5 sports stories of 2012:
1. Kinston's boys basketball defeats Waxhaw Cuthbertson 58-55 to win state 2A title for third time in last five seasons: Three titles in five seasons – all coached by Wells Gulledge, who would later resign – has helped reestablish Kinston as the center of the prep basketball universe in North Carolina.
2. New York Jets take Kinston native Quinton Coples with the 16th overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft: While Kinston has produced other NFL players, never had a player been drafted in the first round – until Coples, a hard-hitting defensive lineman who leads the Jets in sacks as a rookie.
3. NCHSAA approves 2013-17 realignment, which groups Ayden-Grifton, Goldsboro, Greene Central, Kinston, North Lenoir and South Lenoir into the same conference for the first time: It's a dream conference for prep sports fans in Lenoir and Greene counties and should help strengthen the rivalries at all six schools. I'm particularly excited to see Kinston and Goldsboro in the same league again for the first time in more than a decade.
4. Carter Capps gets called up to big leagues, makes Seattle Mariners debut in Yankee Stadium: And what did the former North Lenoir High School and Mount Olive College star do with his first pitch? He hit 100 mph on the radar gun. With Capps in Seattle and Chris Hatcher in Miami, Lenoir County has two MLB players who are going to make significant contributions in 2013.
5. Parrott Academy wins back-to-back state softball titles: The Patriots softball team continued its proud tradition with yet another title.

"A beautiful fragrance to the nose is like good jazz music to the ears, great food to the mouth, and Megan Fox and Jessica Alba to the eyes..."
Chergui. I found many of the Lutens frags to be unwearable in "real world settings". Great scents, however.
I do like Coromandel from Chanel, and am told Borneo is similar. May have to revisit that next time I'm at Barneys.
of the export line:
Fumerie Turque by Serge Lutens - Upon application, one is treated to a comforting pipe tobacco accord from the spicy and slightly tarry Balkan tobacco coupled with tonka bean with its vanillic earthiness, and white honey with its mildly sweet facet tinged with urine. A flavorful date and rum raisin currant pervades and enhances the pleasantness of the tobacco. A whisper of sensuous jasmine flitters about. Transitioning to the awaiting middle, a wonderful smokehouse accord and smoked leather envelop the inviting opening. Vanilla infuses the brew with its lightly woody and caramel aspects. And a deliciously seductive, red rose with fruity glimmers and a cabernet-like facet marries delightsome beeswax acquiring its ambery, honeyed and sweet hay character, and makes itself known. This luxurious heart segues to the waiting base. Here, in the rousing base, the syrupy sweetness of styrax commingles with the woody freshness of juniper berries, the peppery mustiness of patchouli as well as the subtly sour and urinal nuances of Peru balsam. An intriguing drydown ensues. This fascinating composition has minimal projection, remaining a skin scent and fostering its use in close quarters; however, its longevity is very good. This captivating, masculine scent is very layered and complex, and should be held in high regard in one's wardrobe.
Fille en Aiguilles by Serge Lutens - One is initially slapped with an invigorating jolt of outdoorsy pine, quite reminiscent of an old forest with its omnipresent pine tar, pine sap and pine needles, concomitant with a hint of terpentine. A syrupy, sweetish butterscotch undertone presents. Segueing to the awaiting middle, this half-heartedly bracing opening is enhanced by the addition of holiday spices, with musty clove, warm cinnamon bark and slightly minty laurel, as well as a sprinkling of evocative frankincense with its sweetly citric nuances. This rapturous mix floats to the waiting, robust base. Honeyed fruits, remindful of a holiday confection, fir balsam, with its balsamic, Christmas tree character, as well as vetiver, with its smoky green earthiness commingle to create a festively delightful drydown. This captivating fragrance is made for the fall and winter, and is a skin scent with average longevity.
Gris Clair by Serge Lutens - Upon application, one is treated to a wave of fresh, clean lavender, with its somewhat camphoraceous and minty facets. This lovely herbal essence floats cloud-like to the waiting heart. Here, in the middle, standoffish iris commingles with the refreshing lavender, imparting its icy coolness. Whiffs of a campfire smokiness intrude to temper the cool melange with its dryness. This inviting mixture meanders to the awaiting base. The coldish brew intermingles with dry, woody notes as well as a restrained amber, with its hints of a musky and vanillic sweetness. An unworldly and ethereal incense showers the blend with its enticing and cryptic character. An alluring drydown ensues. This exhilarating composition is an all-season refuge, and has good projection and longevity.
Glad it's not just me having problems with submitting a new thread lol.
Fille en Aiguilles is the one you want.
I just don't get it. I'm not there yet. So far, I've only really liked Chergui, and I remember Borneo was nice. Can't wait to try Fille

So far... Muscs Khoublai Khan. I own it.
I have also owned Chene. Great fragrance, but it bores me after about an hour.
I owned Chergui. Somehow I like the wax samples better than the spray. I had to let it go.
I like Ambre Sultan a good deal. I have a mini of it. I don't reach for it often though.
Ambre Sultan, then Serge Noire, Arabie, Fourreau Noir, Sarrasins, Santal de Mysore, Fumerie Turque, Borneo 1864, Five o'Clock Au Gingembre, Boxeuses, Chergui...

Hands down, Borneo 1834.

Many Serge Lutens are interesting but many are pretty much unwearable.
I happily wear the ones above
If you can find it, Fumerie Turque & Douce Amere
Jeux De Peau is pretty easy to find
Chene is absolutely my favorite.
Muscs Koublaï Khän
I don't know much about medicine, but I know what I like. -- S.J. Perelman
I really enjoy (and own) Chegui, Gris Clair and Ambre Sultan.
I'm on the lookout for samples of Borneo 1834, Muscs Koublai Kahn and La Myrrhe.
A close combat between Ambre Sultan and Chypre Rouge
Also no specific order: Fourreau Noir, Bois Oriental, Gris Clair, Iris Silver Mist and Vetiver Oriental - lately I've found the most wearable one out of all the Lutens lineup is Fourreau Noir.
I have only tried a few (L'Eau Froide, Vitriol d'Oillet, Fourreau Noir and Nuit de Cellophane). From these 4 the best is Fourreau Noir with its buttery combination of lavander and tonka beans. The second one is Vitriol for it's spiced carnation. The other two are good, but not really.

Claus The Danish Viking
Lately, I've been obsessed with Cuir Mauresque. It changes a lot from the topnotes to the drydown. I get mixed results on it. I've encountered a few people who may have perceived it negatively, and on the same day also got more compliments than I could count.
I'm also a big fan of Fumerie Turque, Douce Amere, Ambre Sultan, Chypre Rouge and Fille en Aiguilles
Probably my favorite SL-- and it's impossible to find in the US-- is Encens et Lavande. I wish they'd make that an export for a limited time. It would sell like crazy. Beautiful stuff.
Many wonderful, crazy stuff in serge lutens line. It really boils down to preference.
Iris Silver Mist, Borneo, Chene, MKK, Tubereuse Criminelle, Fille en Aiguilles and Fumerie Turque are the ones I appreciate the most. From the ones I've tried.

1. Tuberose Criminelle - Although too femme for me to wear, I LOVE the topnotes.
2. Borneo 1834 - wonderfully "boardroom", yet still every bit as gourmand as A8men.
Chergui, Gingembre, and Arabie are nice too.

Off-BN sales (super rare CREED): http://flacon.ambaric.net/viewtopic.php?t=95
Sadly, I have only tried 2 SL. I really liked Feminite Du Bois.
I want to try: La Myrrhe, Un Bois Vanille, De Profundis, Ambre Sultan..and many others.
So far I haven't liked any of the ~20 Lutens I have smelled. Much too heavy, thick, and opaque for my taste.
for those who have not, Douce Amere is a must try. super underrated, its up there with chergui.. might even be above it lol,
Ambre Sultan is more wearable and enjoyable. But I love Iris, and - from the beautiful to the grotesque - ISM slowly peals back the layers and shows you everything it has to offer.
Santal de Mysore, Bois de Violette, Fumerie Turque and Chergui are nice too.
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
I've tried three so far, and while I love Chergui, I really dislike Ambre Sultan and MKK
In my humble opinion - Chergui is the best of the line, I ave tried almost all of them and to me, ths is the best
From the handful I've been able to try, I liked most of the SL line however, Daim Blond was a stand out for me.
I would love to try MKK and Ambre Sultan.
It's seems the more 'popular' ones (as listed above) are harder to locate in Sydney
Cuir Mauresque and Fumerie Turque are my favorites.
Chene is a very interesting boozy/woody composition best worn on cold days. I don't recall much of Ambre Sultan (time to resample), and while I liked Chergui, it felt too loud, spicy and sweet to wear in most situations. Borneo 1834 is a great, richer alternative to Coromandel.
I'm hoping to try 5 O'Clock Gingembre, MKK, Bois et Violettes and Fille en Aiguilles soon.
Ambre Sultan...
Close second is Muscs Koublai Khan.
(Chergei is too sweet)

2. Dior Leather Oud

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
I guess you only have access to their export line so I'd suggest Chene, Fille En Aiguilles and MKK.

I have also been getting into Cuir Mauresque lately - it finally turned up here with a couple of the new ones and I was really pleasantly surprised - I like the L'Heure Bleue touch up front. I haven't tried any Paris exclusives but favourites from the export line: Filles en Aiguilles, Chergui, Daim Blond, Fumerie Turque and Arabie (which I only wear at Xmas but is such a unique classic).
I completely love Cuir Mauresque. Wearing my sample was a strange experience. One day I dabbed some on and walked by a coworker and I swear I heard a "phew" that one would hear if somebody forgot to take a shower-- but then a few minutes later, a few different female coworkers noticed it and gave me compliments telling me it was the best cologne I've ever worn. I think some scents are like that; Antaeus is one; Some people perceive it as funky and unpleasant, while others find it to be a turn-on.
I guess the civet and cumin in Cuir Mauresque scare me a little precisely because I don't really detect either one strongly. I think I wear this one pretty well, but I hope I don't put anyone off by wearing it to work. I got a few wrinkled noses when I wore Chypre Rouge and Arabie-- I swear cumin/curry is my worst enemy because I don't really perceive it to be nasty and BO-ish the way others do. But when I wear scents with this note, people don't always react positively.
I find Cuir Mauresque really only has that strong curry accord for the first 20 minutes.
Then it goes sweetly leathery.
Then, after a good 8 or so hours it gets really dirty.
Love it.
