Define "best."
Then define "sweet."
JPG - Le Male is the first one I thought of. Also, Chanel Allure Homme Sport is great.
From what I hear, Habit Rouge is also sweet, but I've not smelled it yet.
The best "sweet, gourmand" scent for men in your opinion.
I think ST Dupont Noir, Casran Choppard, Armand Basi ph, and V Valentino come to mind...

Nicole Miller - while it lasts. Ignition by Lomani does last. Samba Kiss (men). Corinto Silver is too sweet, but that may be because there's not enough of anything else going on. Of course, if you want a sweet chocolate, there are several to choose from.

I kinda like Guerlain L'Instant as a gourmand scent
Green Dragon
Aliquando et insanire iucundum est.
I like Rochas Man and Hana Mori quite a bit.
I haven't done a lot of sampling in this category though.
I'm not a big fan of this type of scents, but to me Rochas Man and Lomani Ignition are both excellent. Sweet without being cloying and quite inexpensive too.
No guru, not method, no teacher
Just you and I and nature
what about Allure ph and Lanvin Arpege?
Allure ph doesn't really strike me as a typical gourmand, although I once got a compliment that I smelled sweet as honey when I was wearing it. I agree that the EdP version of Guerlain L'Instant pour Homme is an excellent gourmand well worth having if you can find it.
I love cologne.
I wear Red Aoud and Aomassi when I'm in the mood for a gourmand.
These days, I've been loving Bond 09's New Haarlem. Coffee, cream and patchouli. Yum.
Borneo 1834 by Serge Lutens - a dry sweet
"All problems are illusions of the mind."
-- Eckhart Tolle
Burberry London and A*men are two that I like.
Seconding Hanae Mori HM if you want a splash of citrus in your gourmand, but if you're going for pure sweet-tooth love nothing really touches A*Men.

The thing I didn't like much about New Haarlem is that it's too close to smelling like something I want to eat. Instead, I prefer frags that hint at edibility without going all the way to me thinking that there's an actual food item in front of me. Anyone else feel that way?

I don't like saying 'the best'. My knowledge is extremely limited. But Serge Lutens Fumerie Turque is a very nice sweet/smokey scent, you may call it gourmand.
have tried Lomani Ignition and it is very vanilly .
I third the New Haarlem.
PVC and Leather. A Chain and a feather
I'll also recommend:
Rochas Man (best coffee scent...)
Carlos Santana for Men (cinnamon, incense, patchouli)
Guerlain l'Instant (both versions, but especially the EdP) (dark chocolate)
Lolita Lempika au Masculin (anise)
Plus I'll add these:
Serge Lutens Rousse (cinnamon dry)
Animale Animale (chocolate and lavender)
Body Kouros (anise)
Cartier Declaration Intense (more chocolate, but subtle here)
Burberry Red (vanilla, but maybe a bit feminine...)
Slightly sweet :
Habit Rouge, Guerlain
Jicky, Gerlain
Extreemely sweet :
Teint de Neige, Lorenzo Villoresi
Double Spiritueuse Vanille, Guerlain
L'amour fait songer, vivre et croire. Il a, pour réchauffer le coeur, un rayon de plus que la gloire; et ce rayon, c'est le bonheur. (Victor HUGO)
Don't know about "best" and this is not my preferred style, but I'd like top point out a hidden gem: Identité by German label René Lezard. A boozy-caramel gourmand which is, amazingly, not excessively sweet.
If Borneo counts as sweet, that's the ultimate for me.
My Wardrobe
II est de forts parfums pour qui toute matière/Est poreuse. On dirait qu'ils pénètrent le verre.
How about the new Angel Pure Coffee? Isn't it even more gourmand than the original?
Dior Homme is quickly becoming one of my favorite gourmand fragrances. It's so fragile and rich, I find myself wishing that DH was some form of spiked coffee drink (a la Hot Chocolate with vanilla Baileys, or something) because I'd sip it.
Oh, I forgot one ... Ambre Narguilé, Hermes. Notes of spices, biscuit, amber, vanilla. This one is perfect to wear in winter on a Xmas Market.

Dior Homme a gourmand ?
Dior Eau Noire
Hermessence Ambre Narguile
My favorite is sweet redemption by Killian.
New Haarlem was the first that came to mind.
Current favorites_____Black Tourmaline_____Gucci Pour Homme II_____Memoir Man_____Tuscan Leather______Montale Aoud and Pine_____Sel Marin_____Invasion Barbare_____Tonka Imperial____Dior Homme Intense_____L'Humaniste____Santal 33_____Bois d'Argent_____Nio_____MFK Oud_____Lumiere Noire_____Bois d'Encens_____Cuir Ottoman
Another vote for Rochas Man
Probably Blue Sugar! Sooooo sumptuous
Tom Ford - Tobaco Vanille
Ambre Narguile. I absolutely adore this stuff, nothing else comes close for me.
Most on these suggestions are not just "for men" though. If a gourmand is all foody notes, and doesn't have any floral notes for instance, then anyone could wear them.
I think Poivre Piquant is a bit under the radar. A wild combination of licorice, honey, white pepper, and milk.

Rochas Man
petruc, I remember reading in an other post where you said Rochas Man is worth buying but Blue Sugar isn't. Why do you favor its cohort, Pink? Do you still not like Blue? Supposedly everyone rants about how sweet and how much of a girl magnet it is. also, have you smelled Chocolovers? It is for the ladies, but can guys wear it too? I have yet to smell ! Thanks
Guerlain Spiritueuse Double Vanille or Serge Lutens Un Bois Vanille
I enjoy ~ Givenchy Pi , H.M., Rochas Man. I also feel that Pure Havane and L'Instant De Guerlain fit nicely into this category as well.
Oh man! I love gourmands--well sweet scents anyway. I don't have a lot of experience with niche frags because they are usually too expensive for me. And the girls here in So Cal tend to prefer fresh scents. These aren't all gourmands but I love: Le Male, Pure Malt and Pure Havane (haven't gotten a chance to try Pure Coffee), Dior Homme Intense, Rochas Man, Body Kouros, L'instant de Guerlain Extreme, H.M.
Haven't tried Pi in many years but I remember thinking it was too sweet. Now that I love this stuff, I gotta check it out again.
New Haarlem or Ambre Narguile
L'OCCITANE Eau des Baux, Rochas Man and CUBA gold (yes the inexpensive alternative to JPG - Le Male )
The Dreamer from Versace: what does this scent have that is so alluring and enticing towards the opposite sex ?
These two are significantly different from eachother and are probably the best of all scents at what they do.
Tobacco vanille
Tobacco Vanille or New Haarlem
I really like (and so does my gf) Baldessarini 'Strictly Private'
My Top '10' : (In no particular order)
- Dolce & Gabbana: Pour Homme (vintage)
- Pal Zileri: Cuoio
- Loewe: Esencia/Pour Homme/Solo
- Davidoff: Leather Blend Edp
- Revillon R
- MPG: Santal Noble

Men's Volleyball featured in article by USAV
September 2, 2009
COLORADO SPRINGS, C.O. - More often than not, the hollow slapping sound that you hear inside any given gymnasium in the state of North Carolina is that of basketballs bouncing on a hardwood court. Home to the NCAA champion University of North Carolina mens basketball team, legendary basketball powerhouse Duke, and the solid basketball programs of North Carolina State and Wake Forest, the Tar Heel State is crazy for that orange leather sphere.
But chances are, in a few of those gyms that sound you hear isnt a basketball, but a volleyball. Boys and mens volleyball is a quietly budding sport in North Carolina, with advances at the local, state and collegiate level that may foreshadow future success.
Although boys and mens volleyball has made several strides within the past year, several factors have prevented it from flourishing. Most notably it is not sanctioned by the North Carolina High School Athletic Association, making it difficult to create a presence at the high school level. Basketball, baseball, soccer and football claim the majority of male athletes at most high schools, leaving many athletic directors uninterested in exploring any other options.
The main thing is that it is not in high schools, executive director of the Carolina Region, Kevin Wendelboe said. Several areas have middle school teams. But then when players see that they cant continue in high school, they just drop off from there.
According to Sheila Holloway, high performance director for the Carolina Region, it will not break into high schools any time in the near future.
Its really hard right now, with a bad economy, a lot of sports are getting cut from schools. So even a school that might want to take advantage of the USAV grants (which provides financial aid to high schools that begin boys volleyball programs), they really cant because if they start a boys program they have to start another girls program. So any growth in high school has been at a standstill for a while.
At the local level, clubs and leagues are forming that provide a friendly local atmosphere for boys to play. One of the most successful of these is the Triangle Boys Volleyball League.
Tri Boys Volleyball League
When Brian Magee moved to Cary, N.C., with his wife and two sons, he assumed that there would be high school boys volleyball. A Pittsburgh native, Magee often played volleyball with his wife, and was accustomed to the volleyball culture of Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio.
All of the schools there have volleyball, so I just assumed that no matter where we moved, there would be boys volleyball, Magee said.
When he arrived, Magee was troubled to find that options for boys volleyball were limited. This prompted him to explore options for introducing the sport to the area.
We got involved with a group of people that played beach volleyball, and we decided it would probably be a good idea to get a club going, Magee said. I approached the Cary YMCA and they were interested. The first year we just ran a few clinics and had a few weeks of practices.
The club soon gained interest and began to form multiple teams in various age groups that competed at USAV girls and boys tournaments.
Now in its 11th year, the Cary YMCA Boys Volleyball Club has grown to four teams, two of which competed in the first-ever Triangle Boys Volleyball League; another creation of Magee and a few other passionate volleyball coaches. The league is the first of its kind in the region, and aims to give as many boys as possible a chance to play volleyball at the local level.
The league was fabulous. It afforded several boys their only opportunity to play, said Steve Lympany, coach of the Fuquay-Varina Athletic Association Boys Volleyball Club.
The TVBL features four teams comprised of boys ages 15-18. Besides the two Cary YMCA teams, the Fuquay-Varina VBC and the Chapel Hill Area Volleyball Club coached by Sandro Pinheiro. During the season, which runs January to April, teams practice once a week, and play games depending on what times gyms can be reserved. The league was a huge success, allowing boys a local, friendly atmosphere to play volleyball.
One of the best things about the league was that we dont have to travel far, said Aaron Lympany, a member of Fuquay-Varina Athletic Association Boys Volleyball Club. We could either stay in Fuquay or go up to Cary.
We have never really gotten a chance to play against other teams in our area, and getting a chance to play against people we know made it a whole lot more fun, a really friendly rivalry, said Shane Lympany another member of Fuquay-Varina Athletic Association Boys Volleyball Club.
According to Magee, the league accommodates a high school students schedule and playing ability better than nearby adult leagues.
Without the league, the only other option for 15- and 16-year-olds around here would be to play with the men, Magee said. If you take a 15- or 16-year-old boy and put them on the court against a mens team, it is going to be a rough day. You would have to travel an hour and a half away and play all day on a Saturday. What we have are a couple of teams fairly close to Cary that play for a couple hours one night, instead of all day on a Saturday.
The goal of the Triangle Boys Volleyball League is not to develop a powerhouse volleyball club with a rigorous training schedule, but to provide an outlet for boys to develop a love for a new sport.
The best thing is just to give everybody as many opportunities as you can, Magee said.
HP Team
However, some North Carolina boys volleyball players are eager to face tough competition without having to hop on a plane to do it. Thanks to the development of the boys high performance (HP) program, a tougher playing environment is being cultivated across the state. USA Volleyball held its first-ever North Carolina HP tryout in Greensboro in March with 27 participants, and the first ever North Carolina HP team was formed and competed at the USA Volleyball High Performance Championships in July in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Holloway, who assembled the team, spread the word around the state, seeking any boys interested in joining a serious travel team. She received several responses; however the boys were sprinkled all over the state, hailing from the Outer Banks, Raleigh, Fayetteville, Winston, Cary and Charlotte. To reconcile the distance, the players would meet once a month at alternating locations around the North Carolina.
Since we expanded our HP training to several different cities around the state, our head coach would disseminate a training plan to all of these satellite areas, Holloway said. So they were getting the same training and hearing the same systems and they were training with the girls.
The team competed in several tournaments after Christmas, traveling to Orlando in January for a tournament and competing in the Ohio Valley Region Winterfest Volleyball Tournament in February. This allowed the team to see tougher competition and improve their game.
We were steadily working towards getting the boys to see tougher volleyball, Holloway said. The more they saw, the more they loved it.
The teams next test was the AAU Championship in Orlando in June.
We took a 17s and an 18s team down to AAU, Holloway said. What is amazing is that the 18s team finished fourth. We brought home a medal and one of the boys, Davy Nance, was named an All-American. It was their first chance to see higher competition.
At the UsAV HP Championships, the Carolina Region finished ninth out of nine teams in the Boys National Youth Division but Holloway is optimistic that the groundwork for a solid program has been laid. Holloways goal is to cultivate a high level of competition in North Carolina that will allow the states fledgling college volleyball programs to recruit in-state.
If we have all these colleges in North Carolina that have boys volleyball, it would be nice if those coaches could shop in North Carolina, Holloway said. They shouldnt have to go to Virginia or Florida to find players.
Conference Carolinas
James Petrik knows that everyone loves the underdog: a small team from a small conference that dares to take on the world and comes out on top. Conference Carolinas, a Division II athletic conference made up of teams from North Carolina and South Carolina, is making a move that will shake up the entire collegiate volleyball scene, and, supporters hope, thrust several underdog teams into the national spotlight.
Conference Carolinas is attempting to become the first NCAA Division I or II multi-sport conference to offer mens volleyball; and barring unforeseen obstacles, that goal will soon become a reality. Currently, Lees-McRae College and Mount Olive College have established mens volleyball programs, while Limestone College and Pfeiffer University will sponsor mens volleyball for the first time in spring of 2010. King College of Tennessee also joined the conference as an associate member for mens volleyball only. The conference must have at least six varsity teams competing to petition the NCAA for an automatic bid to the Mens Volleyball Championship tournament.
At the Division I and II level, there are three conferences that offer mens volleyball: the Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (EIVA), the Midwest Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (MIVA) and the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF), all of which feature a mix of schools from several NCAA conferences. For example, the EIVA features Penn State of the Big Ten, Princeton of the Ivy League and George Mason of the Colonial Athletic League.
Conference Carolinas would be the first mens volleyball conference comprised only of teams from the same conference.
According to Petrik, the head mens and womens volleyball coach at Lees-McRae University, the movement to add mens volleyball as a sport to Conference Carolinas, especially the recent addition of two new conference teams and the inclusion of another NAIA school that has made the move to NCAA Division II, is an example of the success that the conference can achieve.
I think it shows a little bit about mens volleyball, Petrik said. While everyone in the country is looking at sports to drop, here are two Division II schools that start mens volleyball. In both cases, they started recruiting in January and by May, both coaches had 12-13 men on their roster.
Petrik, whose Lees-McRae mens squad features two graduates of the Cary YMCA Boys Volleyball Club, believes that the opportunity to compete for an NCAA championship will draw some of the nations best mens volleyball players to North Carolina, and allow for the growth of the sport in-state.
What its going to do is create opportunities for some of the better players in the country to stop and consider playing for a Division II team in the Carolinas, Petrick said. This will have a ripple effect in North Carolina. When a college like Pfeiffer shows that guys can play this sport and come to school here, thats great for mens volleyball because its right in Charlotte.
Ultimately, Petrik hopes that in a few years, a team from Conference Carolinas can play the role of the underdog and make a splash on the national scene.
I hope to see players from all over the country saying, Hey, I want play for a national championship and I know I can be on this team and we can get there, but the name of the team would be unknown in the U.S. five years ago, Petrick said. The whole point is everyone loves a David versus Goliath story and sometimes the story comes true. For some players in this area, that would be a beautiful team to be a part of.

GRIFTON — Shad Festival-goers strolled down Queen Street in Grifton Saturday morning as the occasional sound of sirens blasted in the distance.
The parade was coming.
As the first parade group marched closer, people in the street parted to either side like the Red Sea.
The 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing band from Cherry Point was the first group to make music as the grand marshal, Grifton School Teacher of the Year Shakela Knight, followed behind.
Behind them came countless fire trucks and other vehicles, Miss Grifton — Bryanna Hawkins, a variety of Sudan Shriners' mini-vehicles and, of course, lots of clowns.
Hyjer Barnes, 9, of Kinston, said he likes the clowns best "because they're funny."
"The clowns," Ameliy Roach, 8, of Grifton, said is her favorite in the parade.
Sarah Brick, 7, of Ayden, whispered to her mother, "I love everything but the clowns. They freak me out."
But then she added, "except for the one that pulled his pants down."
Her mother, Debra Brick, said she enjoys the festival because it's something different and fun for her children to do.
The Sudan Shriners Animated Animals bus rolled by with a dancing gorilla and other animal characters waving and giving hugs to children.
Sequoia Coleman, 10, of Ayden, said she was "having a good time because I get to see a lot of characters that play in different kinds of shows, like Clifford, the Big Red Dog."
Dariyn Coleman, 12, said he likes the "rides, the bands, the music and the beats."
"I like the cars," Jesse Martinez, 10, of Dover, said, "the cars with the music."
Katelyn Sparrow, 6, of Grifton, said she likes the fire trucks and "getting the candy."
It wasn't just children that enjoyed the parade, though. Shirley Page and Gloria Edwards, both of Grifton, brought a smiling group of folks from Dixon House Assisted Living.
"They love the dancing," Edwards said, referring to the facility's residents.
Christina Garrett of Grifton said she enjoyed the African dancers and drummers.
Angie Harrison, a Grifton native living in Kinston, brought her two children to the festival because it's a family tradition.
"The parade's fun," she said. "They enjoy the rides and food."

"Excellent book"
Whether you're interested in Fundamental or Technical trading, this book has snippets of wisdom for everyone. It won't tell you a particular stock to buy, but it will help you understand a variety of aspect of the market and help you define your philosophy of trading. Both the introductions and the readings themselves are enlightening. Very enjoyable listening!
José M. Batista
"Different perspectives"
Very interesting overview of different investment perspectives ranging from the pure horse sense approach to the almost esoteric analysis explained by the practitioners themselves. Excellent narration captures each individual style.
"A solid choice"
This book is both interesting and useful. It offers exposure to a wide variety of investing related topics. I believe most individual investors will find something useful in this book. If you are looking at some different investing books I recommend this one and Peter Lynch's "One Up on Wall Street". I recommend these two above "Forbes: Greatest Investing Stories" and "Common Stocks and Uncommon Profits (Philip Fisher).
"A decent collection of stories"
It's a collection of fairly interesting stories from some of our times most successful investors. If you are unfamiliar with them this book could work as a way to choose which style you like the most and then I suggest you to continue with books about or written by that investor/investors.
With a collection like this it's hard to get a good and consistent story with clear points, but it's also clearly stated it's a collection of different investors stories.
"Very Helpful Great narration!"
I have owned this audiobook for a few years now. It was the first audiobook I purchased from amazon. I enjoyed the collective wisdom from the all star cast whose methods range from commodities,trading options ,shorting stocks and the Elliot wave theory method. Like the masters buffet and lynch I also enjoyed the lesser known authors and their methodologies. The collective cast of names along with their wisdom there is sure to be some benefit no matter what your investing strategy. A good listen and very well narrated!
"Very good survey from some good articles"
This is a collection of articles from various authors writing about investing. The book covers a good variety of topics. While this is not a beginner's guide to investing, it has information of value for anyone interested in commentary on various investment topics.
"Packed with insight!"
I am planning to listen to this book a number of times, to really absorb, learn & retain more and more of the timeless insight and wisdom packed into such an easy and captivating listen!
this is the first book I have come across that has this kind of information packed into such an easy to understand format.
Richard Poe is actually very good to listen to especially compared to a lot of the other audio books I've listened to. I would say he is great story teller, it is not like you are trying to listen to the information, instead you just get absorbed into the story of the information & there for remember more through the experience of it all.
it has really opened my mind to the different ways to look at investing and the different areas of investing, and to look at what is happening in the world around me to know what areas to focus my efforts on. it helps me know what to be mindful of when investing to help manage risk.
it is real short but I found I am still able to get a lot out of it!
"Too short to be useful"
It's possible of having a few insights on the investment styles of this "audiobook"(although I have great difficulty of seeing it as a complete book, because it is so short), the essays are really to quick to deliver the depth required for the useful appliance on the hard practice of financial practice.
Not from the same publishers.
A bit too fast.
Because of the above reasons.
"Excellent book..great insight on investing"
Yes. Good view on various investment thoughts.
John Bogles books on investing.
Much better to listen to it than read it. Allows one to conentrate on the issues rather than just reading the words.
Look around and you will see investment opportunities.
Really enjoyed the wide range of investment thoughts.
"Brilliant reading"
The reader reminds me of an old radio program, in how he introduces the story and then tells it. It was a wonderful way of presenting this information. Absolutely loved it!
"excellent book"
This is very good and will give you some great tips. I think that this is probably aimed at those with at least a basic knowledge of shares and investments but even if you don't then I am sure that you will still enjoy this.

This is an Idaho spring black bear hunt over bait in the Selway-Bitterroot Wilderness.
This Wilderness area is so vast and has such a high bear population that they offer TWO bear tags. One of the only places in the lower 48 where you can have two tags in your pocket. Get More Information »
This area is so vast and has such a high bear population that you have a very rare opportunity to be able to have 2 black bear tags in your pocket for this hunt. Many hunters have the opportunity to take two black bears during their hunt; some have even taken both bears in the same evening hunt.
Ask Us About Idaho Wilderness Black Bear Hunts »
Hunting Season
These hunts take place on the Lochsa River and run from mid May to the end of June.
Hunting Method
These are any weapon black bear hunting units so you can hunt with a rifle, archery, or even pistol.
Like most bear hunts over bait, they only hunt in the afternoon since this is when they see 90% of bear activity on the baits. They have tree stands and ground blinds set up weeks in advance so the bears have time to get used to the bait area, making them more likely to come in during the daylight hours. They establish each bait for well over a week before they have hunters show up to hunt over it, in order to ensure the best chance possible at a nice mature bear. To access the baits they use vehicles, on foot, horseback, and they also raft across the river to reach many never before baited spots. On occasion they will do a mid-day hillside spot-and-stalk hunt to watch some open canyons that bears may be using to do some grazing earlier in the day.
Success Rates and Trophy Quality
They do very well on this hunt at around 95% success, with opportunity easily reaching 100% annually.
Bears on this hunt average from 5'10" to 6'6" in length, they will take some each year getting up to 7 feet long, with the largest being 8 feet! The bears this time of year tend to weigh in around 200-300 pounds. They also average about 50% on color phase bears.
During this hunt you will stay either at the base camp lodge or you can do a pack-in wilderness tent camp.

Quick and fast! Able to accomodate many colors in the design. Designed and ordered and arrived 5 days later. Had a little bit of difficulty with the design tool - if you use internet explorer instead of another internet application it works better.
excellent wedding invitation ensemble
The Magnet Street website was a real life saver for us! We ordered save the date magnets and were so pleased with the process that we ordered the wedding invitations. This site allowed us to design drafts and share them long distance until we could settle on what we wanted. We were able to change designs to match our colors, order several different designs of "Just one" samples and be able to get a real feel for what the end product would look and feel like and then apply that cost to our final order. My daughter is in Medical School, doing rotations, and has no time for wedding planning, appointments etc. so this website made what otherwise would have been a difficult process easy for us to accomplish long distance. THANK YOU!

Obama: Nation stronger, GOP should back his plans
Wednesday - 2/13/2013, 3:18am EST
AP White House Correspondent
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Uncompromising and politically emboldened, President Barack Obama urged a deeply divided Congress Tuesday night to embrace his plans to use government money to create jobs and strengthen the nation's middle class. He declared Republican ideas for reducing the deficit "even worse" than the unpalatable deals Washington had to stomach during his first term.
In his first State of the Union address since winning re-election, Obama conceded economic revival is an "unfinished task," but he claimed clear progress and said he prepared to build on it as he embarks on four more years in office.
"We have cleared away the rubble of crisis, and we can say with renewed confidence that the state of our union is strong," Obama said in an hour-long address to a joint session of Congress and a television audience of millions.
With unemployment persistently high and consumer confidence falling, the economy remains a vulnerability for Obama and could disrupt his plans for pursuing a broader agenda, including immigration overhaul, stricter gun laws and climate change legislation.
Still, fresh off a convincing re-election win, Obama made clear in his remarks that he was determined to press his political advantage against a divided, defensive and worried Republican Party. Numerous times he urged Congress to act quickly on his priorities -- but vowed to act on some issues on his own if they do not.
Obama also announced new steps to reduce the U.S. military footprint abroad, with 34,000 American troops withdrawing from Afghanistan within a year. And he had a sharp rebuke for North Korea, which launched a nuclear test just hours before his remarks, saying, "Provocations of the sort we saw last night will only isolate them further."
In specific proposals for shoring up the economy in his second term, an assertive Obama called for increased federal spending to fix the nation's roads and bridges, the first increase in the minimum wage in six years and expansion of early education to every American 4-year-old. Seeking to appeal for support from Republicans, he promised that none of his proposals would increase the deficit "by a single dime" although he didn't explain how he would pay for his programs or how much they would cost.
In the Republican response to Obama's address, rising GOP star Marco Rubio of Florida came right back at the president, saying his solution "to virtually every problem we face is for Washington to tax more, borrow more and spend more."
Sen. Rubio said presidents of both parties have recognized that the free enterprise system brings middle-class prosperity.
"But President Obama?" Rubio said. "He believes it's the cause of our problems."
Still, throughout the House chamber there were symbolic displays of bipartisanship. Rep. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., arrived early and sat with Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., just returned in January nearly a year after suffering a debilitating stroke. As a captain in the National Guard, Duckworth lost both her legs while serving in Iraq in 2004.
A few aisles away, the top two tax writers in Congress, Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., and Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., sat together.
But as a sign that divisions still remain, three of the most conservative Supreme Court justices skipped Obama's speech. Six of the nine attended. Missing were Justices Clarence Thomas, Antonin Scalia and Samuel Alito.
Jobs and growth dominated Obama's address. Many elements of his economic blueprint were repacked proposals from his first term that failed to gain traction on Capitol Hill.
Standing in Obama's way now is a Congress that remains nearly as divided as it was during the final years of his first term, when Washington lurched from one crisis to another.
The president implored lawmakers to break through partisan logjams, asserting that "the greatest nation on Earth cannot keep conducting its business by drifting from one manufactured crisis to the next."
"Americans don't expect government to solve every problem," he said. "They do expect us to forge reasonable compromise where we can."
Yet Obama offered few signs of being willing to compromise himself, instead doubling down on his calls to create jobs by spending more government money and insisting that lawmakers pay down the deficit through a combination of targeted spending cuts and tax increases. But he offered few specifics on what he wanted to see cut, focusing instead on the need to protect programs that help the middle class, elderly and poor.
He did reiterate his willingness to tackle entitlement changes, particularly on Medicare, though he has ruled out increasing the eligibility age for the popular benefit program for seniors.

These are telephone or E-mail requests from students, staff or faculty requesting minor maintenance, repairs, cleaning, etc. These requests may involve such things as problems with plumbing, locks, no heat, spills, etc. These minor problems are normally resolved within a few hours or days after we receive them and should rarely exceed five working days.
Emergencies are handled immediately. We define an emergency as a situation in which human life is at high risk or serious injury is likely or when significant damage or destruction of property and/or buildings is probable.
Once work has started on a service request, it is usually completed within a few hours with existing shop materials.
These are requests submitted as Work Orders which involve more time-consuming repairs or minor alterations. This may include work that will require significant labor, procurement of materials, or the services of an outside contractor. This Work Order must have the appropriate signature approvals and requesting department authorization to use a budget. An estimate letter will be sent to acquire this authorization. These controls ensure that the work will be reviewed by the Project Coordinator before starting the project/work order request and that sufficient funds are available to complete the work. The type of work determines whether the requesting department will be charged. Please see the following section on fees for further explanation.
Work Orders may involve estimating, planning, ordering of materials, scheduling and monitoring the progress and quality of the work. Because we do not have the resources to respond to all requests as they are received, Work Orders are prioritized and scheduled accordingly.
This is internally generated work, such as preventative maintenance and routine custodial cleaning, groundskeeping and the daily operation of our facilities and grounds.
Plant and Construction Services is responsible for the cost of routine maintenance & repair of grounds, buildings, most built-in equipment and utility systems.
Installation, repairs, maintenance and alterations of furnishing or special equipment used by various academic and business departments (e.g. lab equipment, computers, desks, chairs, bookcases, file cabinets, telephone upgrades etc.) are charged to the requesting department. Interior decorating, such as painting or floor and window coverings, is normally funded as part of the Renewal and Replacement Budget. Funding for these items is very limited with priority given to common areas designated by Plant and Construction Services.
When department funding is involved, Plant and Construction Services will, upon request, provide architectural/Project Coordinator assistance and estimates of the cost prior to beginning work. If the estimate is accepted and department budget approval is provided,the work will be scheduled. When the work has been completed, the requesting department is charged the cost of the approved estimate.
The department is charged only for the materials and outside contractors' costs if applicable. In-house labor costs are not included.

text: Based in Pulaski, Wisconsin, Carver Yachts has carved a niche in the recreational boating marketplace as a builder of flybridge cruisers that maximize every usable inch on board for improved entertaining areas and accommodations that are among the most spacious in their class. And those creature comforts are incorporated into cruising platforms that have been proven both durable and dependable. While the Carver brand has been on the scene since 1954, the builder really made its mark in 1984 as a pioneer of the aft cabin motor yacht, a style of boat that became synonymous with the brand for the next decade. Today, the company manufacturers a model line that ranges from a new C34 to the flagship 54 Voyager. Carver designs represent good value as each model comes with a number of standard features, including the Carver Docking System that's comprised of high-capacity bow and stern thrusters.

Parietal cell antibodies are autoantibodies, proteins produced by the immune system that mistakenly target a type of specialized cells that line the stomach wall. This test detects these antibodies in the blood to help diagnose pernicious anemia.
Pernicious anemia can occur when the body's immune system targets its own tissues and develops antibodies directed against the parietal cells and/or the intrinsic factor. Intrinsic factor is a protein produced by the parietal cells and is required for the absorption of vitamin B12 from food. During digestion, stomach acids (also produced by parietal cells) release vitamin B12 from food, and intrinsic factor ultimately binds to the vitamin B12 and allows it to be absorbed at a specific segment of the small intestine. Among other functions, vitamin B12 is important in the production of red blood cells (RBCs). Without sufficient intrinsic factor, vitamin B12 goes largely unabsorbed and the body cannot produce enough normal RBCs, leading to anemia. Besides anemia, decrease in the numbers of neutrophils and platelets (neutropenia, thrombocytopenia) may also occur.
Parietal cells antibodies and other autoantibodies called intrinsic factor antibodies can disrupt intrinsic factor production or function. Both of these antibodies can lead to a decrease in the amount of intrinsic factor available, causing deficiency in vitamin B12.
Deficiency in vitamin B12 can lead to megaloblastic anemia, which is characterized by the production of fewer but larger RBCs called macrocytes. Several different factors can cause a B12 deficiency and result in megaloblastic anemia. When it is due to a lack of intrinsic factor, it is called pernicious anemia.
The tests for parietal cell and/or intrinsic factor antibodies may be used with several other tests, such as complete blood count (CBC) and blood smear, to help diagnose pernicious anemia.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Due to a dramatic increase in the number of questions submitted to the volunteer laboratory scientists who respond to our users, we have had to limit the number of questions that can be submitted each day. Unfortunately, we have reached that limit today and are unable to accept your inquiry now. We understand that your questions are vital to your health and peace of mind, and recommend instead that you speak with your doctor or another healthcare professional. We apologize for this inconvenience.
This was not an easy step for us to take, as the volunteers on the response team are dedicated to the work they do and are often inspired by the help they can provide. We are actively seeking to expand our capability so that we can again accept and answer all user questions. We will accept and respond to the same limited number of questions tomorrow, but expect to resume the service, 24/7, as soon as possible.

Wednesday, April 23, 2014
DREW BARRYMORE and her husband Will Kopelman welcomed a baby girl yesterday. They named her Frankie Barrymore Kopelman. This is their second child. Their first, a daughter with the even LESS normal name of Olive, is 19 months old. Drew is 39 . . . Will is 36.
Just because CAMERON DIAZ is 41 and childless, that doesn't mean she's BARREN. She says, quote, "If I wanted kids, at any point in life, I would have them. But I'm certain that if at any point I wanted a child, that child would find its way into my life, whether through adoption, or through being in a relationship with somebody who has a child." Cameron also wants you to know, quote, "I don't believe in antiperspirant. It's really bad for you. I haven't used it for almost 20 years." She adds, quote, "You're stinky, because you use antiperspirant. It keeps all the stink in. "Let it go and just trim your armpit hair so it doesn't hold onto the scent."
A list of Hollywood's worst tippers includes Sean Penn, Madonna, Bill Cosby, Britney Spears, Tiger Woods and Rachael Ray . . . who actually believes waiters and waitresses should only be tipped $7. Britney Spears once threw change at the feet of a valet attendant and said, "There's your tip." She also left a $26 tip on a $500 bill, which comes to 5%.
After attending church on Easter Sunday, KRIS JENNER hit up a pot dispensary called Dementia, where she bought a $200 bong. Kris says she isn't taking up a new hobby . . . she bought it for her MOTHER.

Tuesday, April 22, 2014
CHARLIE SHEEN and porn starBRETT ROSSI will reportedly make The Big Mistake on November 22nd. A source says, quote, "It's going to be extremely elaborate, and Charlie has told Brett to plan the wedding of her dreams, with no cap on the budget." There's a rumor that they wanted to do it sooner, but Brett supposedly isn't divorced from her last husband yet.
Even though we think KRIS and BRUCE JENNER are still separated, Kris posted an old picture of them together to mark their 23rd anniversary. She captioned it, quote, "Happy Anniversary to one of the most amazing men I know!!!! I love you, Wow 23 years!!!!!"
MERYL STREEP once thought she wasn't pretty enough to be an actress. She said, quote, "I was always in plays, but I thought I was too ugly to be an actress. Glasses weren't fabulous then." She also said she used to hate her nose . . . but added that you have to learn to embrace what makes you different.
LINDSAY LOHAN is denying she gave an interview to a men's magazine in which she drank vodka and talked about having sex with JARED LETO and a guy who's married with kids. Lindsay did a photo shoot for "Kode" magazine, but her reps say the accompanying interview is BOGUS. Among other things, the magazine claims that Lindsay was drinking vodka during the interview, and took ecstasy at Coachella. They also have her bragging about a guy she's seeing who once sent a jet to pick her up, and is, quote, "married with kids."
Meanwhile, Lindsay Lohan revealed she had suffered a miscarriage during the filming of her self-titled reality show. But sources close to the Lindsay told RadarOnline that they believe Lohan was never pregnant: She made up the story to garner sympathy and as a way to explain her unprofessional behavior during the eight-part series. "She absolutely made it up," said one source. "Lindsay was never pregnant during filming the reality show for OWN, or in the months after. Lindsay knew she was being perceived as a total slacker, not showing up on time for photo shoots, call times and refusing to shoot. So this is what Lindsay does. She lies! Her family and friends had no clue about her 'pregnancy' and subsequent miscarriage. Lindsay is once again her own worst enemy."
This might be a little weird: TIGER WOODS' ex-wife ELIN NORDEGREN and his current girlfriend LINDSEY VONN are supposedly GOOD FRIENDS. The word is that Elin decided to get to know Lindsey because she realized that Lindsey was going to be in her children's lives . . . and they hit it off.
4/21/14 LiLo Reveals Miscarriage
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, April 21, 2014
On the finale of her reality show last night, LINDSAY LOHAN revealed that she suffered a MISCARRIAGE during filming. She didn't say who the father was. But she said, quote, "No one knows this, I had a miscarriage for those two weeks that I took off. It's a very long story, but that's why on the show when it says she doesn't want to come down, I couldn't move, I was sick. Mentally, that messes with you." Immediately after the show aired, Lindsay's mom DINA Tweeted, quote, "Oprah call me." But she quickly deleted the Tweet. As you probably know, the show airs on Oprah's TV channel OWN. It's not clear why Dina needed Oprah to call her . . . or if Oprah feels any urgency whatsoever when Dina "demands" a call from her.
ENRIQUE IGLESIAS has been dating ANNA KOURNIKOVA for 12 years . . . and his father JULIO IGLESIAS still hasn't met her. Enrique says, quote, "The last 14 years, 15 years of my life have flown by. And that's the only way I can truly explain it. There's no reason why . . . it's not his fault, and it's not my fault."
Even though more than enough people signed that WhiteHouse.gov petition to deport JUSTIN BIEBER to require the White House to respond, they decided to pass the buck. They said they WON'T be commenting, basically because it's not their department.
MILEY CYRUS is still recovering from her "extreme allergic reaction" to antibiotics . . . and on Friday, she announced that she's canceling the remaining dates of her U.S. tour. But she's planning on going ahead with the European leg of the tour, which begins on May 2nd in Amsterdam.
4/18/14 LiLo Admits to Sex List
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, April 18, 2014
LINDSAY LOHAN has finally admitted that she wrote that epic list of her sexual conquests. She said, quote, "That was actually my fifth step in AA at Betty Ford. And someone, when I was moving during the OWN show, must have taken a photo of it. And so that's a really personal thing and it's really unfortunate . . . I talk about it on the last episode on the OWN show, so to be continued."
WHOOPI GOLDBERG is now a columnist for a website called The Cannabist. And yesterday, she published a love letter to her VAPE PEN. Of course, she's not a recreational user. It's all about the GLAUCOMA for her. She says, quote, "The vape pen has changed my life. No, I'm not exaggerating. In fact, her name is Sippy. Yes, she's a she. And yes, I named her Sippy because I take tiny, little sips . . . sassy sips, even . . . from her. --And with each sip comes relief . . . from pressure, pain, stress, discomfort."
JUSTIN BIEBER is trying the Kanye West thing, and telling the paparazzi to stop talking to him. He told one guy, quote, "I'm not about to answer any of your questions, man. You can keep filming, just don't talk." When the guy said he was just doing his job, Justin replied, quote, "It's okay, just don't talk."
In an online chat, TRACY MORGAN was asked who was the most famous person he's ever passed gas in front of that he's definitely sure smelled it. He said it was KATE UPTON.
4/17/14 Tom Cruise Dating Again

Thursday, April 17, 2014
JENNY MCCARTHY and "Blue Bloods" star DONNIE WAHLBERG are engaged. She announced it on "The View" yesterday. They also announced that every single co-host, past and present, will be on the show on Thursday, May 15th . . . the day before BARBARA WALTERS officially retires.
MILEY CYRUS had to cancel another show because she was still in the hospital recovering from an allergic reaction to antibiotics. She Tweeted, quote, "I'm so sorry but some things are outta my control. If anyone thinks I'd rather be layin' in a hospital bed than doing what I love on stage they're [effin] LAME. I'm miserable." Meanwhile, TMZ says the reason Miley got sick is because she started going off the rails partying to get over the loss of her dog Floyd earlier this month. They also said the drug she had a reaction to was cephalexin, which she was taking for a sinus infection.
ORLANDO BLOOM got pulled over in Beverly Hills after he blew through a stop sign, but the cop let him go when he realized who he was. Meanwhile, EMMA ROBERTS Tweeted that she got a ticket for talking on her phone while driving . . . even though the cop mistook her BAGEL for a phone.
Tom Cruise has been secretly dating fellow Scientologist Laura Prepon, who plays a lesbian drug dealer on "Orange Is the New Black." P.R. reps for the two denied any romance in November after the two were spotted enjoying dinner at the Manor Hotel in Los Angeles. However, a source tells the NY Post, Cruise and Prepon are still seeing each other, but they are being extremely careful to keep it secret.

By Suzanne Kubota
Senior Internet Editor
The co-chairman of the Commission on Wartime Contracting tells Federal News Radio, over-reliance on contractors in Iraq threatens both U.S. success there, and the safety of federal employees left behind as troops withdraw.
Mike Thibault just back from a 7-day tour. While there, the team's discussions with security officials from the Defense and State departments, members of the Iraqi government and security contractors centered on the drawdown of U.S. troops in the country and the use of contractors for mission critical tasks.
Thibault said the team's findings are a mixed bag.
The good news is the military planning for the military part of the drawdown, getting the soldiers out on schedule, appears somewhere between solid and exceptional. Really quite impressive.
But the contractor aspects were really lacking both in the private security as well as concern about planning for the drawdown and the use of contractors.
The difference, he said, is "the emphasis by the military is on the military and there's a different group that manages the contractors and the second group isn't doing that well."
The proliferation and the use of private security contractors is dramatically on the upswing because of the military already beginning to drawdown.
Most important from a security aspect, Thibault told the Federal Drive, "is proper authorization of the private security companies coming in." In short, after touring four forward bases, the team found three "significant areas of concern."
Thibault said at one base, there were 17 Iraqi national guards that had been posted for security that hadn't been vetted. At another base, a contracting company with hundreds of employees had been hired to protect the base and it hadn't been vetted.
The contractor company's president flew out from the United States, said Thibault, "and tried to talk the military into posting them anyway."
The problem, as he sees it, is contractors "don't get it."
The issue as we see it that's evolving is they have this expression "lowest price technically acceptable" contracting. Which means they sign find a general way they're technically acceptable, then they take the lowest priced contractor. And then these kinds of examples are starting to occur.
Fixed price/lowest price contracting "contributes to the issue," said Thibault.
Some members of the commission are beginning to question whether private security contractors in a situation like this should even be involved in protecting government employees. My sense is there's probably a middle ground which is best value. But there are some that would say the United States military doesn't have these kinds of problems because their people are all vetted through the process in which they joined the military and their training is without question.
When the military goes home, the State Department has begun planning for functions "that even contractors have never done."
One example of 14 Thibault said the commission came back with, is EOD, explosive ordinance disposal, support. "Who's going to do that? And the only one who could do it under the current arrangement is a contractor," while it's the military who has all the training. Contractors will now "have to catch up on the technology, probably try to find retired or existing military that will come work for them, and it doesn't make any sense at all."
Thibault said contractors will "get up to speed but it's going to take a lot of time and it's silly. Why would you do that? And should they be doing that? And that's the inherently governmental question. Should they be doing it. And under current planning, the military all goes home."
