Jessica Chastain in Zero Dark Thirty -- is it too early to say Chastain was robbed this year, before the robbery takes place? How can she possibly lose to Jennifer Lawrence's engaging but unremarkable performance in SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK? Yet everybody says this is about to happen.
Harvey Keitel's amazing performance in the 1992 film, BAD LIEUTENANT, by Abel Ferrara, is precisely the kind of extreme performance the Academy ignores. But it's something that, once seen, is never forgotten.
Ashley Judd should have been at least nominated for BUG. At least.
The Academy gave the 1964 best picture Oscar to MY FAIR LADY, a lovely movie, but it was a little like giving an Oscar to the past. If they wanted to give it to the present, they could have given it to DR. STRANGELOVE.
Better yet, the Academy in 1964 could have given best picture to the future -- to the future of culture, of filmmaking, of entertainment, comedy and perception. They should have given it it to A HARD DAY'S NIGHT.
For her command of tone, Adrienne Shelly should have received a posthumous best director nomination for WAITRESS.
THE MOTHER AND THE WHORE -- one of the great films of the 1970s, it deserved a best foreign film nod.
Michelle Williams in Blue Valentine. Should have won best actress.
Marisa Tomei and Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler. He should have won.
Annette Bening in BEING JULIA to Hilary Swank in MILLION DOLLAR BABY for one reason -- few people saw BEING JULIA.
A critic called this the greatest performance ever in a sound film. Otis Ferguson of the New Republic called Garbo in CAMILLE the most beautiful thing of a generation. She lost to something borderline ridiculous in 1937.
Alison Elliott -- a crime that's still felt today: The Academy ignored her sublime supporting performance in WINGS OF THE DOVE.
James Stewart in Anatomy of a Murder for which he received Academy Award nomination for best actor. He really should have won.
Heath Ledger in BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN -- he should have won best actor, and the film should have won best picture.
Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde. Best film of 1967, a great movie year, but it lost to the OK but now-dated IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT.
One of the defining 1960s films, with a great performance by Peter O'Toole, who was nominated but did not win. He should have.
RAGING BULL. Lost best picture. Hard to imagine.
You want to see something jaw-dropping? Watch Jeanne Eagels in THE LETTER (1929), newly released on DVD. You'll never see anything like her. But she was ignored, of course, by the Academy.
THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES -- one of the greatest westerns of all time, all but ignored by the Academy.
THE VANISHING -- should have been nominated for best foreign film. No one who sees it ever forgets it -- even if they want to.
Melanie Laurent as Shosanna in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds. That film was the thing that happened in cinema that year. It should have won best picture.
BEFORE SUNRISE -- don't tell me it took ten years for anyone to realize this was a classic. I said so the day it was released and put it at the top of my top ten.
Margaret Sullavan in THREE COMRADES. Should have won against Bette Davis in JEZEBEL.
Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire (1996) Cruise's best performance, but he didn't win.
MADEMOISELLE CHAMBON -- deserved a best foreign film nomination, or better.
Cary Grant never won a competitive Oscar -- not even for SUSPICION.
CITY LIGHTS -- just one of the greatest films ever made, but totally ignored by the Academy.
Montgomery Clift -- great actor, in one of his greatest performances. A PLACE IN THE SUN. He didn't win.
GOODFELLAS -- the best and most lasting film of 1990, but it lost. To DANCES WITH WOLVES.
25TH Hour: Spike Lee's post-911 masterpiece, one of its decade's greatest films, was ignored by the Academy. It probably didn't help that there was practically no Oscar campaign behind it.
We wuz robbed, Spike Lee said when DO THE RIGHT THING, the best film of 1989, wasn't even nominated for best picture. He was right.
THE DREAMLIFE OF ANGELS -- should have won best foreign film. Not even nominated.
SULLIVAN'S TRAVELS -- another masterpiece, timeless and eternal and not nominated.
Edward G. Robinson -- never nominated for an Oscar. Not even for TWO SECONDS.
Carmen Ejogo -- robbed this year: She should have been nominated for her performance in SPARKLE. How could Anne Hathaway be nominated for five minutes of sobbing in Les Miserables, and Ejogo be ignored? The mind boggles.
A Face in the Crowd: Two Oscars that didn't happened, Andy Griffith's for one of the great performances of the 1950s (not even nominated) and best picture (not even nominated).
Christian McKay -- this time it wasn't the Academy's fault. McKay should have been nominated for best supporting actor in ME AND ORSON WELLES, but the studio, figuring Christoph Waltz was a lock for INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS, positioned the unknown McKay for best actor instead. The result? He was nominated for neither.
Bride of Frankenstein -- fascinating blend of horror and horror spoof, worthy of serious consideration. And what about Karloff in the best monster -- or best actor -- category.
Greta Garbo in A Woman of Affairs (1929). One of the great silent performances, not even nominated.
Judy Garland in A STAR IS BORN. She should have won.
SIDEWAYS -- I'm not even saying it should have won. I'm saying maybe it should have won. It should have been close.
GLOOMY SUNDAY -- one of the great foreign films of the 1990s, a German production set in Budapest, it wasn't nominated for best foreign film, possibly because it wasn't released in the United States early enough for it to qualify. See it, if you haven't. It's wonderful.
Bogart in a performance that should have won him an Oscar. IN A LONELY PLACE.
Just because you laughed at BRIDESMAIDS doesn't mean it wasn't great. The comedy of the year, it deserved best picture consideration.
Alfred Hitchcock -- never won a competitive Oscar. Even when one of his (lesser) films, REBECCA, won best picture, he didn't win best director.
How did Richard Burton not win for WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? For the Bergen scene alone . . .
Two missed Oscars here. MEG RYAN for best actress, IN THE CUT for best picture. Neither were nominated.
FIVE EASY PIECES -- one of the most lasting achievements of its era, a film that has maintained its truth over four decades. And Nicholson was great, too.
JFK -- the best film of 1991, the big thing that happened in cinema that year, but it lost.
CITIZEN KANE -- one of the cinema's greatest, but it didn't win best picture.
Robbed this year: Kathryn Bigelow's direction in ZERO DARK THIRTY deserved a best director nomination, perhaps a victory. She got neither.
Deborah Kerr -- never got a competitive Oscar.
LIKE CRAZY -- a great and perceptive love story, worthy of a best picture nomination.
LINCOLN -- it's probably too early to complain that LINCOLN was robbed by ARGO, but maybe it's not. Maybe ARGO, a perfectly nice, entertaining little movie, really is about to win over this masterpiece by Steven Spielberg.
Laura Linney -- robbed just this year: She should have been nominated for supporting actress for her extreme, un-vain, inspired performance in THE DETAILS. And THE DETAILS deserved a best screenplay nomination.
Keri Russell -- a great performance in WAITRESS, but only a few people seem to know this.
DIANE LANE -- should have won for UNFAITHFUL. For the on-the-train-remembering-sex scene alone.
Marilyn Monroe in BUS STOP, one of her best performances, and Oscar worthy.
Michelle Pfeiffer -- should have been nominated for Cheri. Probably should have won.
Madeleine Stowe deserved a best actress nod for THE LAST OF THE MOHICANS.
MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING -- Kenneth Branagh's masterpiece deserved best picture consideration.
Naomi Watts -- not even nominated for MULHOLLAND DRIVE. Was anybody really better?
MY WEEK WITH MARILYN -- Michelle Williams should have won last year.
THE NEW WORLD -- this is what happens when you make the greatest film of the decade. Nobody realizes it at the time, and so no one nominates it for best picture.
ONE DAY -- one of the best films of last year, ignored by the Academy and misunderstood by many critics. It will endure.
Nathalie Baye presided over the awarding of a life achievement Cesar to Meryl Streep. It's time for Streep to preside over the awarding of a life achievement Oscar to Nathalie Baye, whose films, better than those of any other, tell the story of women since 1970.
Robert Mitchum in The Night of the Hunter. Ignored when it came out, recognized as a masterpiece today.
Morgan Freeman should have won for SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, not Tom Hanks for FORREST GUMP.
THE GOLD DIGGERS OF 1933 -- one of the greatest films of THE DEPRESSION, it should have been nominated, and it should have won.
Someone should have given a screenplay nod to THE LAST FLIGHT, with its dialogue straight out of a surreal Richard Lester film, but ion 1931, not 1966.
REVANCHE -- masterpiece from Austria, not nominated for best foreign film.
ROMAN DE GARE -- perfect suspense film from France, not even nominated.
Three possible nominations for SHATTERED GLASS -- picture, actor (Hayden Christensen as Stephen Glass) and especially Peter Sargaard as his editor. No nominations.
STAGE DOOR -- better and more enduring than THE LIFE OF EMILE ZOLA.
BEFORE SUNSET -- one of the best films of 2004, it should have been nominated for best picture and best screenplay.
SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS -- along with A FACE IN THE CROWD, one of the two great films of 1957. Neither were nominated.
Jennifer Jason Leigh in MRS. PARKER AND THE VICIOUS CIRCLE. She at least deserved a nomination. She deserved one for GEORGIA, too.
THE BEAVER -- everybody was too mad at Mel Gibson to even bother seeing it, but his performance in this thing is amazing. One of the best of the year.
THREE DAYS OF THE CONDOR -- prescient film from 1975, though of as just another thriller at the time. The decades have revealed its importance.
Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic: Say what you want about the movie, but DiCaprio was the heart soul of the whole enterprise, and he wasn't even nominated.
TROUBLE IN PARADISE -- a Lubitsch masterpiece, not even nominated.
Karin Viard in THE ROLE OF HER LIFE, one of the great films of the first decade of the century. It should have been nominated for best foreign film.
Rachel Weisz -- robbed just this year. Not even nominated for best actress, after winning (deservedly) the New York Film Critics' prize.
Fingers -- of course it was ignored in 1978. How about a career achievement award for writer-director James Toback?

Italian Tomato Pie
Ready for the oven.......
Fresh from the oven.................
This is an unusual recipe, one that if I was flipping through a magazine while waiting at the dentist office, probably would not consider. The true summer joy, a vine ripened tomato, it's a flavor you want to keep, but is compromised in canning and freezing. That exquisite flavor is not lost in this recipe.
It was a beautiful, sunny Sunday afternoon and Dick had just brought in more ripe tomatoes from the garden. At that time the garden was behind the barn. Our friends, Ron and Cindy, dropped in for a visit and "the tomato chest beating" began. Dick and Ron competed in a tomato growing contest every summer and that year, Ron was well ahead, in tomato size. His garden had produced a two pounder! Dick's garden was more prolific; but, as Ron pointed out, smaller tomatoes. Cindy told me about a tomato pie recipe and was able to remember the ingredients. It didn't sound appealing, think the word "pie" was the problem. We decided to give it a try that afternoon; now a summer favorite.
9 inch pie shell, pricked and pre-baked for 6 minutes at 450 degrees
2 lbs. tomatoes, peeled, drained and sliced (depending on size, about 3)
1 and ½ cup cheddar or combination of cheeses, grated or diced small
1 cup fresh basil, chives, oregano, scallions or herbs of choice (more or less to taste)
1/3 cup mayonnaise, thinned with juice of 1 lemon (again, more or less lemon juice to taste)
Slice tomatoes rather thick, salt lightly, place on a cooling rack over newspaper, topped with paper towels. Let drain about 30 minutes, turn over, lightly salt again and drain for another 30 minutes. Without draining, the pie can be soggy, depending on the water content of the tomatoes. Layer cheese in pre-baked shell, then tomatoes, herbs next, then cheese. Pour or dollop thinned mayonnaise on top and bake at 400 degrees for approximately 25 minutes.
Note: My choice is fresh basil for the herbs, love the summery, light flavor and it is usually very abundant in the Cinnamon Morning herb pots; occasionally will add scallions, depending on guest preferences.

News and Excerpts
Physical education should be individualized. One size does not fit all. This is extremely challenging, but with creative tools like Physical Best, Fitness for Life, and Fitnessgram, physical educators are becoming more like personal trainers than coaches. We should focus on activity and nutrition leading to good health and wellness. If we can't do everything, we need to at least do this.
Therefore, while playing age appropriate games is important, our emphasis needs to be on building lifelong skills and attitudes. Being active and eating well is vital at any age, but it becomes a matter of life or death as we get older. We can't put fitness in the bank and use it later; we have to keep active and eating well to maintain the benefits.
We also need to emphasize participation and stop the trend toward becoming a nation of spectators, with a few highly skilled athletes playing and everyone else watching. All students should be provided opportunities to both cooperate and compete in physical activities. Both are important life skills, and both can be fun.
Our students should graduate with an understanding of the key principles of fitness and nutrition. They should be informed consumers of activity, nutrition, and wellness and be ready to assume self-responsibility for their own health through prevention.
And, please, let's make sure our K-12 schools provide a logical scope and sequence—let's teach articulated curriculums and not just bump the volleyball for 13 straight years.
Finally, we have to embrace technology to effectively communicate our message and get people moving. New innovations can help kids become physically active while playing video games and provide motivation for those who otherwise wouldn't be active.
However, from a personal perspective, I hope technology only plays a supporting role in the future. I think we're going to rob kids of something special if we only promote their participation in a virtual world. I grew up outdoors, in the wind and rain and snow and mud. And as I approach 55, I'd still rather play tennis or basketball or hike with my dog than play a video game or watch TV. I hope physical education in the future can help kids enjoy activity in the real world, not just the virtual one.

A Lesson in Giving Back
Bono, lead singer of U2 and noted humanitarian, will present a lecture at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 30, as a guest of Claremont McKenna College at Bridges Auditorium. Bono was named Time magazine's 2005 Person of the Year (shared with Bill and Melinda Gates), and has received the Legion d'Honneur from the French government and an honorary British knighthood earlier this year.
Formed in 1978, U2 has sold more than 140 million albums and won 22 Grammy awards to date. In addition to his significant cultural impact through U2, Bono is a well-known advocate in the fight against AIDS and extreme poverty in Africa.
In 2002, he co-founded DATA (Debt, AIDS, Trade, Africa) to raise public awareness of the issues in its name, and influence government policy on Africa. On behalf of DATA, Bono has lobbied U.S. Presidents and Congressional leaders, along with the heads of many other G8 nations. DATA is a founding member of the One Campaign to Make Poverty History, part of a global network of millions of people campaigning against extreme poverty.
In 2006, Bono with Bobby Shriver launched Product (RED) to raise money from businesses to buy AIDS drugs for people in Africa unable to afford them. Product (RED) have an ongoing relationship with a number of iconic global brands who sell (RED) products and donate a percentage of the profits directly to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
The lecture will be free of charge, with one ticket reserved for every Claremont McKenna College student, faculty, and staff. CMC students will be seated together on the main floor, with ticket distribution announced later this month by the Office of the Dean of Students. CMC faculty and staff may pick up their ticket at the Bridges Auditorium box office October 1-5 during normal business hours. In addition, approximately 600 tickets will be provided to other students within The Claremont Colleges, with distribution handled by the individual Deans of Students offices in October.

Matt Yoder has been a sports fan for his entire life and has impressed and puzzled friends and family with his ability to remember useless stats and information. His sports interests range from football, basketball and soccer to Aussie rules football, rugby and darts. Matt's stellar athletic career consisted of finishing one spot shy of the all conference golf team in high school (although he contends the scoring system was "shaky at best").
Matt's first and only love since birth has been the New Orleans Saints… somewhat strange for a kid that's lived his entire existence in the middle of Ohio. The happiest moment of his life occurred February 7, 2010 when the Saints won the Super Bowl. So yea, basically it's all downhill from there.
In 2011, Matt won the Best Young Sportswriter Award through the initial Untitled Sports Media Awards Project at BWB4 in New York City.
Matt currently wanders through the wilderness of life writing and Tebowing for a living.

I'm trying not to buy for 90 days!
I wonder how long
A) I will hold out
B) Before this thread becomes my version of porn?
Thread: Today I bought ~ January 2013
It's a new month, a new year. I have a gift card and Christmas money that I'm dying to spend, but I can't quite decide between a few favorite fragrances. Soooo, tell me, tell me ... what have you bought this month?
I've trademarked the color bleu
I'm trying not to buy for 90 days!
I wonder how long
A) I will hold out
B) Before this thread becomes my version of porn?
I am trying to not buy as well. I might even try to sell off a few back up bottles of fragrances, though discontinued, that do not really need backing up any more. There are a lot of things I bought in the first throes of passion that I no longer wear with any regularity, or which were so darn reasonable that I stocked up as if I would get to love them....alas.
Anyway, if I had a wish list it would be:
Penhaligon's Night Scented Stock
I came very close to giving these to myself as presents but abandoned the shopping cart every time!
Nothing yet this year. I'm waiting for something from ebay I bought before the end of the year. The first bid of the year was on an Amouage Gold man, though I doubt I'm going to win it.
I am wearing right now Angel Cuir, which I also purchased before the end of the year - and I'm considering whether to stock up.
I'm not buying (bought a couple in the sales).

I could not resist three deals on eBay. I bought a full bottle of Vintage Chanel no.19 EDP for $58 (I thought that was a great deal), a Vintage bottle of Hermes Amazone EDT for $28 (another good deal) and am bidding on a bottle of Kenzo Jungle PH for $16 (no other bidders yet and hope to win this beauty too). I don't have the money in my budget for these, but the sickness has gotten hold of me! I won't be buying anything else for a while!

Quite the haul, danny! Congratulations!
Can you share your feelings for the Dior Vetiver please? Comparisons?
L, dior vetiver is one of the best vetivers i've tried so far. it's a perfectly executed, soft, refined vetiver, quite linear, what makes it unique is the coffee note which is not overly done and is integrated perfectly in its construction. it's not too green, but also not too woody or smoky (didn't detect any smoke), it uses very high quality ingredients and it shows. it has amazing longevity but it wears close to the skin and it doesn't over project which for some is a plus. i'd definitely recommend it to people who generally are afraid of or hate vetivers as a must try. this for me is a 'mature' vetiver, along the lines of let's say givenchy's vetiver, worn by an elegantly dressed/suited man in his 40's. i still have one or two 5ml official sample bottles i think, i'd be happy to send it to you, let me know.
Thanks danny! Vetiver is a note that is quite rapidly growing on me. Well, the mature Dior would have to do with me and my more casual jeans look. Hey, I'm still in my 30s!
Today I ALMOST bought a 15ml bottle of bois des iles parfum - outbid on ebay by £2 - grrr!
Bought a used 6.8 oz bottle of bois des iles edt instead, now I can spray my favourite fragrance with reckless abandon ;-)
My only other january perfume purchase was a 30ml bottle of samsara edp for €38 in the boots sale (not as 'loud' as I remember - it is almost subtle on me - love it).
I hadn't bought any perfume since summer - trying to keep my spending in check!

I used to wear Gai Mattiolo when it first launched (mid-90s, I think). I'd forgotten all about it until a recent glowing mention by a friend on another perfume board. If I'm remembering it right it was very pretty, along the lines of Allure. Found a one ounce bottle online for a tad over $20, so couldn't resist ordering it.
I received some Christmas cash which I think I will put towards a purchase of Vol de Nuit.

great choice tdem 1961!
I am not buying - I am not buying - I am not buying :-) YET!
I want to downsize my wardrobe now. Yet BEFORE Christmas I welcomed bottles of Shalimar Ode a la Vanille Madagascar, Loukhoum au Poudrée, Yvresse, My Queen.
I hope to get my beloved Rousse in a swap here - that would be my first new bottle of this year.
I found out that I could get Ineke Sweet William FB for $29.07 shipped and I snapped it up.Boxing day sale 30%off sale prices.
Tjmaxx -$5 Bijan for men- pine &carnation.Rather nice.

The Body SHoppe "Amber & Oud"
Hoping for Durbano White Crystal soon!
La Chasse Aux Papillons body butter 200ml. I own the EDT, but it's ever so fleeting that I thought perhaps layering would make it more potent. I guess I'll also pick up the body oil, if layering with the body butter doesn't sort out the projection and longevity issues.

Oh, and I also sold a 6.8oz bottle of Chanel's Coromandel for more than what I'd paid for it. It was a blind, impulse buy a year ago but patchouli is a note which doesn't agree with my skin. One of my new year resolutions is NOT to spend any more money on fragrances but to downsize my collection and use the money from the sales to get new fragrances.

I just received another bottle of vintage Cuir de Russie. It's in excellent condition, too.

I will be getting 5mls of Dior Oud Ispahan. There was a split more than a month ago but the girl who organizes didn't want the money earlier but at the moment when she'll be in Poland to visit her family and to post all decants here to make shipping cheaper. So spending money now counts as buying it
Finally, Jicky is part of my collection!
I relapsed. Bought Molinard Nirmala yesterday.
I recieved a edt bottle of BBW Cashmere Glow for Christmas (was wishlist-nice apricot/vanilla/amber with a bit of woods musk)but when I went to uncap and spray some the entire spray sheared off! So it would have to go back . Any edt is WAY too strong to have the whole bottle open like that so like any good perfumista I promptly dumped the contents into a clean empty stopper bottle I had sitting around.
I took the stoppered bottle in with me along with the broken original and the store gave me store credit for the regular price of the bottle and I got to keep the old juice !
So I used the credit to get some Orange Sapphire shower gel, (3-4)Forever Sunshine gels,a lotion and a shower gel of Lemon Vanilla,an Oak shower gel and body spray.The Citron was kind of nice too -I may go back for that.

I did not buy this , but got this from Lilybelle. A lovely gift set of Cabotine body lotion and Cabotine eau de toilette. Thanks so much lilybelle! Your a doll!

Ebay has lured me again...This is what I get for having Christmas cash and getting a nasty cold on Christmas day Zero resistance..Do you think it could be a medical side effect?
Half a bottle of Jungle L'Elephant 'bout $18 shipped,and a tube of Enjoy lotion,and shower gel,and a mini for $14.50 shipped.
Total blind buy on the Kenzo .Based on glowwing reviews Youtube Teresa and Basenotes'Ducky get the blame or praise for this one.

I already own a 100ml bottle of this, but I stumbled upon a brand new 50ml bottle on ebay for a great price. I couldn't resist.
Frederic Malle Le Parfum de Therese
I'm staying strong. No purchases in January so far. Though the samples I ordered before the end of last year are arriving regularly so will keep me out of mischief
I spent my Christmas gift certificate to Love Potions - a little nervous about trying pheromones. I love sexy fragrances, but pheromones might go over the edge for me into manipulation...
I read some of the input on their boards, and there are some true horror stories about slathering themselves down with the juices before heading out clubbing, to attract a partner. Couldn't they smell themselves before they went out of the house? Pretty funny.
I also put in an order to Surrender to Chance - lots of samples and decants, which I'm really looking forward to, and finally a decant of Jicky. What took me so long to appreciate it? It's great stuff. I'm getting the edp.
I just bought a decant of Guerlain's Attrape Coeur. Cannot wait to put my hands on it.
Hmm. I bought Fracas on eBay.
And Tobacco Vanille on a split.
I'm not doing very well on this abstinence business!!
I bought a decant of L'Heure de Nuit ... there is no way I can afford a FB ... unless I win the lottery this weekend!
I've trademarked the color bleu
shadesofblue, where did you buy your decant of decant of L'Heure de Nuit? I would like to have one to test it. It gets great reviews and I like the original LHB
Creed Himalaya from fragrancenet.com
Lush are discontinuing many of the original fragrances. So bought a 30mls Breath Of God for half price, I do own a 15mls already but the deal was too good to let go.
I finally ordered the Musk tonkin, too, which I have longed for way to long, and tossed in a bottle of Ambre Sultan, plus a backup on gucci Rush just because the price was great. Going to sell off a lot of bottles so I figured its forgivable
Congratilations on all your finds, its a shame the dont sell out fumes the way they do clothes this time of year!
If I ever go to Denmark one day, lol I would need to find that lovely flea market!
Danny, I like that Armani pic, I'd like to see it in black and white as well.
Well, I celebrated Boxing Day late, hehe..instead of having something I would never ever use, I got Briar Rose and Bottega Veneta.
Ok I gave in. Well sort of. I raided the sale at The Body Shop for shower gels in Vanilla, Amber Oud, Satsuma, Mango and Lemon & Thyme. Bargainatious!
I've trademarked the color bleu
Blew my ebay bucks on a 10 ml rollerball of L'Or de Torrente, a 1/4 oz. of Paradoxe de Cardin parfum and a bottle of Borghese Ecco.
I've been wanting a vintage bottle of Vol de Nuit extrait for a long time, and finally got it. It's a 2.5 oz. bottle, apparently 1950s vintage, sealed in box.

Flying back from Japan today, went to the Hermès shop at Narita. Got a gift set of four 15 ml Hermessences: Iris Ukiyoé, Poivre Samarcande, Vanille Gallant, and Santal Massoïa. It turned out to be somewhat cheaper than had I gotten them at the Hermès boutique here. About $130 versus $145 plus tax. The SA quoted me at $123 for the current exchange rate.

Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality.

Connor Schram and Kristina Coyne were named The Almanac's male and female athletes of the year for 2013 at the 23rd annual Premier Performers Banquet, held May 19 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Upper St. Clair.
In addition, Regan Smith from Chartiers Valley won the prestigious Waldie/Shaeffer Scholarship Award for his commitment to serving his country in the military.
More than 230 guests attended the event, which recognized 53 students from the weekly newspaper's readership area for their excellence in athletics, academics and community service.
A Canon-McMillan senior, Schram beat out a competitive field that included: Princeton-bound Tyler Roth from Mt. Lebanon, South Fayette's Zach Challingsworth, who will play football at Pitt, and Michael Fetchet, who will wrestle at Columbia. The Top 10 also included Seton-La Salle's Luke Brumbaugh, Upper St. Clair's Pete Coughlin, Peters Township's Mike Minjock, Bethel Park's Brody Taylor, Chartiers-Houston's Garrett Vulcano as well as Schram's teammate, Cody Wiercioch, who will wrestle at Pitt.
Schram and Wiercioch shared Almanac Most Valuable Grappler honors during the wrestling season. Both finished as PIAA champions and were the only two in the top 10 to reach the pinnacle in their sport.
Several factors separated Schram from the field as well as his teammate. Schram distinguished himself further in the classroom and in a leadership role. He maintains a 4.5 QPA and belongs to National Honor Society and the French Honor Society. He will wrestle at Stanford while pursuing a path in medicine. He plans to become a doctor.
Athletically, Schram finished his career as Canon-McMillan's second all-time winningest wrestler and the No. 2 wrestler in the country. His four-year record was 159-11. Schram was a four-time state finalist, three-time WPIAL and Southwest Regional champion, four-time section champion as well as the 2012 Powerade Winner. He wrestled in the Dapper Dan Classic and the USA Dream Team Classic.
A team captain, he guided Canon-McMillan to four section banners, four consecutive WPIAL team titles and three PIAA team championships.
"Connor was a leader for us," said his coach Chris Mary. "He's been a four-time state finalist at the top level of Class AAA and he's a very good student as his acceptance to Stanford indicates. Connor will be a success in life because he works hard and he hates to lose."
Schram collected a trophy case full of individual accolades, including Almanac Most Valuable Grappler, twice, O-R All-District Team and four Almanac all-star awards.
Meanwhile, Coyne distinguished herself out of a field that featured last year's winner, Angela Heintz of Seton-La Salle, Peters Township junior Veronica Latsko, a state champion and national All-American, and Duke lacrosse recruit Caitlin Carey, who also played on PT's state title team in soccer.
Among the other contenders for the female athlete of the year award were: BP's Angelina Baroffio and Megan Marecic, USC's Betsy Erlanger, Lebo's Katie Ford, Canon-Mac's Olivia Lorusso and Chartiers-Houston's Piper McLaughlin.
Coyne captured the top athlete award in part because she paved a path for others. According to her coaches, she is an elite athlete and excellent student, but they have never encountered a better person.
"Kristina has an impossibly large heart, the patience of Job, the will of Mandela and the loyalty of Abraham," said her basketball coach Spencer Stefko. "She's an inspiration to all. She breaks barriers and instills in others that there are no limitations on what can be achieved."
Coyne did not limit herself to traditional female sports. She played football, plus track, basketball, volleyball and soccer. She finished her career as the all-time CV record holder with 15 varsity letters. Plus, she holds the school record for the high. With a silver in that event and a fourth in the high hurdles during the WPIAL championships, Coyne again qualified for the PIAA finals set for next weekend in Shippensburg.
Coyne also was a four-year letterwinner and three-year starter in basketball. She led CV to three section titles and three state Final Four appearances. This winter, she captained the Colts to the Quad-A finals and a runner-up showing.
In volleyball, she was all-section as a middle hitter. She's a two-time PIAA state qualifier in indoor track and an all-section sweeper in soccer. In football, she earned All-Conference acclaim as a placekicker. Academically, Coyne maintained a 3.9 GPA. She is the SADD president. She participated in the LeadAmerica Leadership Conference and is a member of National Honor Society, Renaissance and French Clubs at school.
Coyne will run for Eastern Michigan and major in criminology.
Meanwhile, Regan Smith will enlist in the Army upon graduation from Chartiers Valley. He competed in cross country, track and wrestling.
"Regan has dreamed about being in the military," said his coach Lori Poe. "I am confident that he will be a success. His leadership abilities are impressive. People respond to his direction and look up to him."

Iblogpro5 Strange Navbar Flashing Text With Quick Slider
Posted 11 November 2012 - 12:16 PM
I have checked your site on Chrome/Safari, I am unable to see any flashing text, does this only occur when you're logged in ?
If this issues also happens when you're not logged in, what version of these browsers are you using ?
I am not sure what you're referring to regarding the templates, if this is a separate issue, please create another topic.
Posted 11 November 2012 - 02:11 PM
Php from iBlogPro4 is still showing up in iBlogPro5. (Template page-fullwidth). This occurred even after I followed Rob's advise on a complete removal and reinstall of the pagelines folder. There must be other files stored on the server that are cross linking old template files?
Reference the flashing navbar i posted above:
"As a temp fix i changed the slider to a fade transition. Please let me know of any fix ideas."
The issue isn't resolved, as it comes back when I switch to sliding transition on the slider.

- This happens all the time. Logged in or not logged in.
- I have the latest versions of all 3 browsers.
- Regarding templates, I did start a separate post, but Rob closed it. If you would like to handle that as another issue, Rob, please reopen this .
Do you guys see the image I posted above? It shows older templates from iBlogPro4, but the active theme is iBlogPro5.
If by bad coding you were referring to the {less} coding used to achieve a home button and cart button, I have removed that. The problem still exists.

The same thing for Safari, no flashing text.
This is not a bug, as I am unable to recreate it, disable all active plugins, remove those icons from your menu, remove any custom scripts you may have added. This should resolve the issue.
Posted 12 November 2012 - 01:33 PM
As I have stated several times the problem is with the SLIDING TRANSITION not with the
So, on your test page,
- go to the pagelines meta settings
- quickslider options
- Slider Transition Type
- choose USE SLIDE/HORIZONTAL TRANSITION
I am not the only one with this problem in the forum. You will see this text shadowing error in Safari and Chrome during the sliding animation, as I have shown in my video. This is an option that does not display properly on half of the browsers out there. I am praying that you understand me this time, because this is getting old. Report the Bug, stop accusing me of using bad code and script and address this problem.

Ricky Januarie says constant comparisons between himself and Ruan Pienaar are ridiculous.
Januarie will travel to the World Cup as the official back-up to Fourie du Preez, but there continue to be questions around whether he is a better option off the bench than Pienaar.
The Sharks man had an outstanding season, playing a key role in their march to the Super 14 final. While his performances in the Tri-Nations proved that he remains a raw talent in need of polishing, they were still impressive.
Januarie conversely had a trying season at the Lions, surrendering the No 9 shirt to Jano Vermaak then failing to impress in the incoming tour matches against England and Samoa before injury ruled him out of the Tri-Nations.
He has however grown tired of the incessant criticism, and stressed that coach Jake White's opinion is the only one that really matters to him.
"I used to be affected by the talk but I just ignore it now," he told keo.co.za. "I don't read the papers or watch rugby shows on TV anymore because that's all you seem to read or hear: 'Ruan's better than Ricky'. It's ridiculous.
"Everybody has something to say but Jake knows my ability, we've worked together since age group rugby, and he is the only person who I need to impress."
The primary point of criticism is that Pienaar's kicking game is far superior to Januarie's, something that takes on added importance in northern hemisphere conditions that are expected to suit game plans which include probing box kicks.
In addition, Pienaar's ability off the boot eased the pressure on flyhalf Butch James in the Tri-Nations and will do so again in France should they be paired as the half-back combination for whatever reason.
Januarie concedes that Pienaar's ability off the boot trumps his, but insists that his success has never laid in the ability to put boot to ball.
"Jake has defined my role in the side and that takes into account my strengths," Januarie said. "Defensively he expects me to be putting pressure on the opposition scrumhalf and flyhalf, while on attack he prefers me to keep ball in hand and make breaks around the ruck and maul fringe.
"I play the game Jake asks me to and that has brought success for me in the past. I'm not going to try and be something I'm not just to please some people."
But Januarie is not content to sit back and play second fiddle to Du Preez. He is determined to push the Bulls man for a starting berth at the World Cup.
"I wouldn't be playing if I didn't want to start. I want to be the first-choice scrumhalf and I don't think there's anything wrong with me saying that," he explained.
"It's my job to keep Fourie sharp, competition is healthy."

Toshiba's ambitious Kirabook has a screen that rivals Apple's MacBook Pro with Retina Display, and a price to match. It's a solid, useful laptop, but for these prices, the design should really be more exciting.
A bland effort, the HP Envy 23 has nothing to recommend it over other Windows 8 touch-screen all-in-ones.
The RIM BlackBerry Torch 9810 should satisfy BlackBerry fans with its responsive touch screen and overall specs, but for $50 more, T-Mobile customers could get the much better Bold 9900 instead.
The Samsung Galaxy S II ranks as one of T-Mobile's most powerful and feature-rich Android smartphones, but it's somewhat pricey.
If the price is right, you don't need to look any further than the Samsung 830 series to upgrade your computer's internal storage to the best possible performance.
The Nokia 5230 Nuron for T-Mobile isn't the most advanced or fastest smartphone on the market, but budget-conscious customers will find an incredible deal here.
While the Nokia N97 is packed with features and offers the freedom of an unlocked phone, its clunky touch interface, sky-high price tag, and outdated operating system make it hard to recommend when there are better touch-screen smartphones on the market.

Samsung Smart UE40ES6900 wont save satellite settings
by Dunc9999 - 2/6/13 1:23 AM
I have a new UE40ES6900U and attached it to a satellite feed. Auto scan doesn;t find any channels, so I went into menu>channel>satellite system>LNB settings and in here it lets me change the satellite between eurobird and astra, so I changed to astra and changed the transponder setting until I got a 100% signal. I cannot then save this. If I return and go back in, it has reverted to eurobird and no signal. I think if I could save and then go back to auto scan I would find channels.
I am in home mode not store mode.

The Misunderstood Jew: The Church and the Scandal of the Jewish Jesus
The Misunderstood Jew: The Church and the Scandal of the Jewish Jesus (Paperback)
In the The Misunderstood Jew, scholar Amy-Jill Levine helps Christians and Jews understand the "Jewishness" of Jesus so that their appreciation of him deepens and a greater interfaith dialogue can take place. Levine's humor and informed truth-telling provokes honest conversation and debate about how Christians and Jews should understand Jesus, the New Testament, and each other.

25 best budget acoustic guitars in the world today
19th Aug 2013 | 13:00
Best of the rest
Generally, when it comes to buying a guitar there are three key factors to consider: how does it sound, how does it look and, perhaps most importantly, how much does it cost?
But even if you've considered all three of those options, visited a hundred guitar shops and read a thousand reviews, there are still a vast amount of guitars out there to choose from.
Undoubtedly one of the most congested areas of the market is for budget acoustic guitars, where there are literally thousands of models and manufacturers to choose from.
That baffling array of choice is why we ran this poll - to give you, the poor acoustic guitarist to be, a chance to see the instruments your peers believe to be the best out there.
Well, we've pored over the results, and we can tell you they've got pretty good taste. This gallery contains the top 25 guitars, the cream of the acoustic crop, and among them there are some truly spectacular guitars on offer, acoustics that punch way above their weight and prove that affordable needn't mean cheap and nasty.
Not only do they all sound great, most - if not all - are easy on the eye, and best of all, they all retail at under £500 / $750. Some of these guitars will make great first instruments, and some will prove to be trusted partners for life - we'd suggest trying as many as possible if you're in the market for an acoustic at the moment.
But these 25 aren't the full story. There were a shedloads of guitars nominated and voted for in this poll, with the top spots hotly contested. Of those that didn't make the cut, the likes of the Tanglewood T15, Seagull Excursion Natural SG and Takamine G220-NS all performed particularly well.
The Simon & Patrick Songsmith, alongside the Freshman FA1DM and the Farida D21CN scored more than a few votes, and the likes of the Norman B12, the Vintage V300 and the Fender CD-100 all gave an excellent account of themselves.
But enough of those that just missed out. Without further ado, here are the best 25 budget acoustic guitars of 2013, as voted for by you. Happy strumming...
Vintage VJ100N
A spruce-topped jumbo with plenty of projection and an extremely appealing price tag, the VJ100N isn't Vintage's only appearance in this poll.
The manufacturer has been turning out some incredibly likable and a characterful guitars in the last few years, and the VJ100N is another fine addition to the growing ranks of first rate Vintage acoustics.
Taylor Big Baby
Taylor is famous for its supremely playable acoustic necks and this model is no exception; in fact, due to its innovative and virtually heel-less design, there's better access to the upper frets with any regular full-body acoustic.
In short, however, this Baby plays like a dream, and when you feel this at home with a guitar you can play anything in any style. Obviously this guitar is not going to sound like a standard Taylor dreadnought; and in fact it's quite surprising to hear how unlike a dreadnought the Big Baby tone is.

Gretsch G9500 Jim Dandy Flat Top
The new Roots Collection swaps Gretsch's typecast Cadillac-and-Cherry Coke vibe for a down-home pickup truck and moonshine range of acoustics, resonators, mandolins and other folky instruments.
Okay, you're never going to mistake the Jim Dandy for a top-end Martin or Taylor, but it's really good fun to play. You should know that the guitar records very well, too, and it sounds bigger on 'tape' than you'd perhaps imagine.
The well-built Jim Dandy injects some much-needed fun and character into the typically bland entry-level acoustic market. It also reminds us that beyond our shed loads of expensive gear, we should be able to get a tune out of anything. You just know that Mark Knopfler or Joe Bonamassa could pick up a Jim Dandy and make it sing. Well, you can, too - this guitar isn't just for beginners.

Epiphone DR-100
As you might expect from Epiphone's best selling acoustic, the DR-100 is a budget-minded guitar that dispenses with any extravagances in favour of good old-fashioned playability.
The spruce-topped dreadnought is conceived to be an all-rounder, from those first fumbled chords through to, well, wherever you want to go really. It's built to the usual Epiphone high standards, and it's guaranteed to make most guitars at the same price point look a little bit silly.
Recording King RD-10
An all-solid dreadnought - that's solid mahogany back and sides and a spruce top as opposed to any nasty old laminates - the RD-10 is a lot of guitar for the money.
And really, that's the point of Recording King, isn't it? It's a brand that's all about old school-style instruments that are built for the modern player, of which the RD-10 is a prime example. That lovely tortoiseshell binding and understated logo and label nicely drive the point home.
Tanglewood TW28
It seems a tad adolescent to conclude that 'big is best', but in this case there's no getting around the quality on display.
Really, it all boils down to tone. As you'd hope from a dreadnought, the TW28 can belt it out in terms of raw volume, but it really shines when you analyse the more subtle qualities of the sound.

Faith Naked Series Neptune
Money is tight for us all, and last year Faith took the wraps - and quite a bit more - off the straightforward, clearly cost-effective 'Naked' range.
With the Neptune, you're getting a beautifully constructed baby jumbo stripped of every single unnecessary extra. This is a guitar boiled down to its bare essentials, but don't let that turn you off - the Neptune plays like a dream, and while its utilitarian looks won't be for everyone, we're big fans.
Vintage V880N
Just look at it! The slotted headstock, the herringbone inlays, the vintage style tuners - this a tasteful little acoustic that subtly demands your fullest attention.
There's something about parlour size guitars that makes us want to sit on a sofa and fingerpick the day away, and this would be the guitar to do it with. Mahogany back and sides, a cedar top, and all those little visual details makes this a steal of a guitar for the money.
Make sure you try one, even if you're not necessarily looking for a smaller bodied guitar - this could be the one to make you think again.
Epiphone EL-00
The EL-00 is the sort of guitar you can imagine being nestled in the hands of a long-dead bluesman, in one of those weirdly formal photos from the '20s.
It certainly looks the part, with its tiny parlour sized body, short scale and sweet sunburst finish. Tailor built for playing the blues, if you've ever had a woman leave you, lost your job or attempted to sell your soul to intersection-dwelling demons, this is the guitar for you.
Fender Sonoran
Are you an electric player looking to transition to the acoustic? Or maybe you're simply a person who appreciates style in any context. If that sounds like you, then the Fender Sonoran is the guitar for you.
Rocking that iconic Strat headstock, it makes standard acoustics look conservative. It's full of lovingly conceived little details, from the gently curving 'Viking' bridge to the chequered inlays and white button tuners. A tasty little retro acoustic with style to burn.
Faith Naked Series Mercury
If the idea behind this Faith was to create a highly affordable, cost-effective guitar, then it's an unqualified success.
But aside from the clean design and impressive attention to detail, this all-solid wood guitar sounds good and plays exceedingly well - especially at the price. If it's sound and playability that you value over unnecessary appointments, this is a very good place to start your search.
Read full Faith Naked Series Mercury review
Vintage V400N
That's right, it's another Vintage - are you getting the message about this brand yet?
With three guitars in the top 25 and more models that didn't quite make the cut hovering just outside, one thing is clear: Vintage acoustics have a lot of fans out there.
It's the result of a simple philosophy, of which the central tenet is to build great, affordable guitars that people won't be able to put down - guitars like the V400N.
The most popular Vintage dreadnought in this poll, it's an all-rounder with a nicely balanced tone that you'd be doing a disservice to if you didn't try the next time you're in a guitar shop.
Sigma DR-28
Production of Sigma Guitars, the affordable range launched by Martin in the '70s to keep Japanese competitors at bay, ceased in back 2007.
But the brand was recently purchased from Martin by AMI, a German-based distributor of high-end acoustic and classical guitars, and has since been re-launched. Completing something of a complicated circle, Martin Guitars' UK distributor, Westside Distribution, is now importing Sigma Guitars into the UK, and they're currently causing a big splash among acoustic guitarists - not to mention making a big impact on this very poll.
When pitted against a range of similar and more expensive dreadnoughts, the DR-28 performs remarkably well. Tone is obviously a subjective issue but we'd suggest that you'd struggle to find a 'better sounding' dreadnought at this price point.

Guild M-120
An all-mahogany gem of a guitar, the concert sized M-120 is a great looking, great playing acoustic that is the perfect partner for folk pickers or singing strummers.
An affordable Guild with a compact body and small neck, it sounds as good as it looks - and it looks good enough to eat. Double thumbs up from us for this little beaut...
Yamaha LL6
Yamaha's LL series is home to one of its most played and respected acoustics, the LL6.
It's a tasty little number, what with the spruce top, gold hardware and general air of class, with a modified dreadnought shape to help it stand out from the crowd.
It's hovering at the top end of our budget price point - closer to £500 than £150 - but even costing that much, the LL6 is a snip. A guitar for life with a price for 2013 - we'll drink to that.
Fender CD-60
It never ceases to amaze us just how high the quality of entry level acoustics is nowadays. Fender's CD-60 is a case in point, a budget guitar with quality to burn.
It's guitars like this - playable, pretty (it's available in a bunch of finishes, and there's even an all-mahogany version on the market now) and great fun to play - that are the foundation of life-long love affairs with the instrument.
It's no real surprise that it's one of Fender's best selling acoustics. It's so well put together, and priced so competitively, that the CD-60 basically sells itself. If you're thinking of dipping a toe in acoustic waters, you could do a lot worse than starting your unplugged strumming with one of these...
Epiphone Hummingbird
It's got the looks, and considering it's a fraction of the cost of a Gibson Hummingbird, Epi's affordable version has got the tones too.
If you're looking for a bit of that iconic Gibbo mojo but can't stretch to the several thousand pounds said mojo costs, then Epiphone's Hummingbird is an attractive viable alternative.
A great player, with plenty of personality and an admirable attention to the details that have made the Hummingbird an institution among players the world over, we'd be willing to wager that should you find one of these in your hands you'll struggle to put it down.
Yamaha F310
The F310 has been proving that affordable guitars can do the business for donkey's years now.
A spruce topped dynamo that punches way about its weight, it's perfect for smaller hands with a slim neck that beginners won't struggle to get to grips with and is built like a tank.
Tonally bright as a button and capable of surprising projection, it's capable of accompanying guitarists on a budget from bedrooms to open mics and beyond.
Sigma S000M-15
If you aren't aware of Sigma, you need to become acquainted with the brand, and quick. The narrow-waisted S000M-15 looks, at first glance, like the plainest of Janes.
But in fact, its a player's guitar of the finest calibre. The dark-stained mahogany of the top, back, sides and neck, striped rosewood headstock veneer plus pitch-black ebony fingerboard and bridge offer little instant reward for the eyes.
Spend a little time, with it, and the guitar begins to exude its own special beauty. Should your tastes be for smaller-bodied guitars, or you describe yourself as more picker than strummer, the S000-15 will fit such needs admirably.
It's got enough guts to cut through the sonic melee of an acoustic jam, or will happily accompany a solo voice.

Martin Little Martin LX1
It's no surprise that this plucky little Martin is so high in the list - after all, you might as well rename this guitar the Ed Sheeran.
The ginger fury (as literally nobody calls him) has made the LX1 his own, playing the travel sized acoustic throughout his rise to fame.
Martin has got a signature model on the way (we'd put money on that guitar appearing in future polls), but for now acoustic troubadours looking for the authentic Sheeran experience can plump for the standard LX1.
And really, it's a lot of guitar in a tiny package. Spruce topped, with Martin HPL (that's high pressure laminate, abbreviation fans) back and sides, it projects beautifully and has a wonderfully playable neck.
If you don't mind people asking why you're playing a child's guitar, the LX1 is well worth checking out.
Yamaha FG700S
I'm getting a sense of déjà vu… That's the thing about acoustic guitars – they all tend to look the same.
As such, you might be forgiven for taking one look at the Yamaha FG700S and assume you've already been there, played that and bought the T-shirt.
If there's a more traditional looking model on the market than this entry-level dreadnought, we'll eat our pitch pipes.
No-one's pretending the FG700S looks as wild as your BC Rich, but that's not the point. When you sit down with this model you will soon start to appreciate why it deserves your attention.
This is how playing an acoustic should feel, but so rarely does. It's effortless, despite the fairly hefty body size, and doesn't make you sweat to dig out the (considerable) volume.
Read Yamaha FG700S review
Epiphone EJ200
The EJ200, like its more famous Gibson cousin, has a presence all its own, and that makes it special.
If this were a four figure Gibson J200, we'd be looking for a guitar with a fat, rich bass end; one for strumming, not picking. The Epiphone EJ is tonally better balanced for general playing, with a more even spread of tone across the strings.
The action is lighter and lower than you'd expect from an acoustic, so while this is still a guitar that likes to be strummed, the more even balance means that the Epiphone is good for pickers as well.
In fact, this would make a great guitar for country picking, because the low action and even response make it quite fast. And it's got the look that just makes you want to pick it up and play.
Read Epiphone EJ200 review
Seagull S6 Original
Distinctive of headstock and sweet of tone, the S6 takes the silver in our poll - and it's not difficult to see why.
Frankly, there aren't many guitars under £500 that make as big an impression as these cedar-topped stunners. Built in Canada to exacting standards, you'd be hard pushed to find many guitars as instantly, effortlessly playable as the S6 for this sort of money.
If you've yet to get your hands on a Seagull, then you're missing out on guitars like this. Simply put, superb instruments than make playing a joy - make sure you put the brand to the top of your must-play list - you won't regret it.
Taylor GS Mini
Aptly titled, the GS Mini is exactly that: a down-sized Taylor GS-shaped acoustic. Built in its Mexican factory (along with the Baby, 100 and 200 series) it was launched in the USA in 2010 and now claims first prize in our budget acoustic guitar poll.
Taylor obviously sees it as a travel guitar, but perhaps their description of a "modern day parlour guitar" is just as accurate.
Beautifully simplistic in design and concept, the GS Mini is much more than just a travel guitar. Yes, it fits that bill perfectly but Taylor's modern day parlour description is more fitting.
This is a guitar with its own vibe and voice - and both are very appealing. Of course, the guitar is compact and built to a price, but Taylor's vast experience in production guitar manufacturing ensures that these 'economies' don't get in the way of the important things: playability and sound.

This is just too funny.
Rabbis and Kabbalah mystics recite prayers to ward off swine flu
A group of rabbis and Jewish mystics have taken to the skies over Israel, praying and blowing ceremonial horns in a plane to ward off swine flu.
About 50 religious leaders circled over the country on Monday, chanting prayers and blowing horns, called shofars.
The flight's aim was "to stop the pandemic so people will stop dying from it", Rabbi Yitzhak Batzri was quoted as saying in Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper.
The flu is often called simply "H1N1" in Israel, as pigs are seen as unclean.
According to Israel's health ministry, there have been more than 2,000 cases of swine flu in the country, with five fatalities so far.
"We are certain that, thanks to the prayer, the danger is already behind us," added Mr Batzri was quoted as saying.
Television footage showed rabbis in black hats rocking backwards and forwards as they read prayers from Kabbalah, a form of Jewish mysticism which counts the singer Madonna among its devotees.
The shofar is the horn of a ram, and is used to mark major religious occasions in Judaism.

You have to look for the positive in every situation of your life.
Some recent additions:
Pool and Ping Pong in the Game Room (I hate the pool table, but it was free. It is impossible to level and is made out of particle board, the center of the playing surface is bowed, I've got it nearly perfect but it will never be perfect)
Sweet "new" Panasonic Box Fan
To keep the games going into the night
And updated the workstation a bit, I have a new desk on its way so I won't have to use my dresser anymore

That is a sweet space dude. I wish I could find a place like that, but even if I did it would probably run upwards of like 700k in NJ. Gotta love living in the tristate area.
Any updates?

Reaves Helps Women's Soccer Fight Back for Double OT, 2-2 Draw at Queens
September 19, 2009
CHARLOTTE, N.C. After 110 minutes of play, a winner could still not be decided as Pfeiffer and Queens battled to a 2-2 tie in womens soccer action on Saturday afternoon at the Queens Sports Complex. Two ten-minute overtime periods turned out to be not enough as the Lady Falcons improve to 2-3-2 overall with the draw, 0-1-1 now in Conference Carolinas play. The Royals now move to 2-5-1, 1-0-1.
Queens would tally both of their goals in the first half of action while the Lady Falcons would knot it up late in the second 45 minutes of regulation play. Lauren Vawter put the Royals on the board first with an unassisted goal in the 13th minute. Vawter took a deflected pass attempt and found the back of the net for an early 1-0 Royals lead. In the 23th minute after a yellow card was issued to Lady Falcons goalkeeper Suzie Hinman (Idaho Falls, ID), Kristen Wright put home a penalty kick that put the hosts up a pair.
Ashley Hawkins (Madison, NC) put Pfeiffer on the board with her first of the year just after the half in the 51st minute. Hawkins would take a pass from Megan Reaves (Mims, FL) and connect from the right side of the 18-yard box. Reaves would assist on the game-tying goal in the 84th minute, this time to Ashleigh Rhoads (Palm Bay, FL), helping send the contest into OT. Rhoads beat Royals keeper Kristen Kornacki one-on-one with the equalizer.
Kornacki made a pair of saves on four Pfeiffer shots in the first overtime period. Hinman didnt have to stop a shot in either extra frame as Queens managed only two shots in extra time with one in each period. The Lady Falcons, still in search of the first conference win, will see if third times the charm on Tuesday at Mount Olive.
