Members of Erie's newest fitness center began training on Sunday, March 1 with the opening of the LECOM John M. and Silvia Ferretti Medical Fitness and Wellness Center. They joined LECOM students who have had a week to try out the equipment and become acquainted with the services and facilities.
|Colby Wesner, LECOM OMS1 jogs along the three-lane running track.
New member Ed Kabasinski says he was learning where everything is located in the 82,000 square foot center. He was doing arm
curls using one of the 160 cardio-fitness and weight machines. "The center is great. Compared with other fitness centers where I've worked out, this one is fabulous," said Kabasinski. He found the second floor training area well lit and comfortable for training.
Many of the new members were busy on treadmills and elliptical trainers, while others ran or walked the 1/9th mile, three-lane track. A few people tested the water in the lap pool.
Tim Connelly found the free weight area to his liking. His wife has joined the center for the aerobic classes.
Many of those working out on the first day commented on the clean, modern and calm appearance of the center.
The facility is designed with the understanding that a peaceful mind and a calm spirit are just as important as a healthy body. In keeping with the Osteopathic philosophy of nurturing the

NORFOLK--Rain and the possibility of snow this week could mean more potholes on the Interstates.
Crews continue to fill the holes on I-264 East, especially between the Ballentine Blvd. and Campostella Road exits, where potholes turned the afternoon drive into a nightmare as drivers pulled to the shoulder with flat tires and other damage.
'Whenever we have a big rain and I know I have to go out on 264, I worry about it you know. I mean because I know the potholes are there. I have a little 2004 Maxima. It's low to the ground and I know going 60 miles per hour that's rough,' said Corey Bailey, who lives in Chesapeake.
Last week, 13News reported on the inter-office emails that Commonwealth Transportation Board member Aubrey Layne, Jr. sent to VDOT, criticizing the agency for not addressing the pothole problems fast enough. Now, Layne is confident VDOT will be better prepared for this week's bad weather.
' I'm very comfortable with the reaction and with the response to what we're doing now. I do expect that the reaction time when the weather does clear will be significantly be better and they will be prepared to react if there are any issues unlike previous times when it was a little bit delayed in the response,' he said Monday.
Later this month, the VDOT commissioner is expected to release a report to the board detailing what went wrong February 8 when those potholes appeared on I-264.

Blinds are a combination of the window shade and the shutter. Like a window shade, a blind can be raised or lowered to a specific position and like a shutter, blinds have slats that can be positioned for light and air control. Blinds come in vertical and horizontal configurations. Vertical blinds are usually used on windows and horizontal blinds (which are similar to drapery panels) work best over sliding doors. At the moment, horizontal blinds are not particularly "in," but they are functional and work well in offices and public settings.
There are many window covering ideas out there; it's just a matter of determining the needs of the space and using the right type of window covering that is both functional and attractive.

Published Reviews
"The book focuses on the broad categories in pulmonology and augments substantially the presentation of the previous edition. It would be fair to call this "the" reference in pulmonary medicine. I would consider it an essential resource to add to my personal library. The primary audience is pulmonologists, intensivists, and primary care internists, but nurses, respiratory therapists, and rehabilitators would undoubtedly find it selectively informative." - Joel C Seidman, MD(William Beaumont Hospitals), Doody's Review Service - 4 Stars
"Without a doubt, this text is a must for serious students of pulmonary medicine, whether in training, academic tenure, or mature clinical practice." - JAMA
REVIEW OF 4th EDITION:
'It goes without saying that this is a thorough, in depth review of chest medicine and as far as I could see, leaves nothing out. I was pleased to see this is a book for active physicians rather than researchers or scientists. It is aimed squarely at the specialists but generalists such as GPs or specialists in other but related disciplines would also find this book a good reference source. I also liked the principal that associated non respiratory problems are covered in detail. Take for example, Sarcoidosis, which has always been classified as a chest disease but is also a multi-system disease. The chapter on Sarcoidosis is an excellent review of the whole topic and not just the pulmonary aspects. In addition, there are excellent chapters on issues that you don't always find such as air pollution high altitude and diving medicine.
Importantly the book is readable, and relevant to physicians and adopts a well rounded approach to informing the doctor what he or she needs to know. The depth of detail achieved is just right and this book has an encyclopedic feel to it. There are plenty of illustrations in the book but in the main, this is primarily a text based reference source.'-- June 2006 Dr Harry Brown www.univadis.com

Great quality & design
I'm so happy with my MagnetStreet purchase! They have so many designs to choose from, its easy to save my work, and shipping was quick! Very cost effective as well - thanks!
Awesome Product
My Fiance and I LOVED these magnets. The whole ordering process was very simple and the design tool included features to customize all of the fonts & colors we wanted and was easy to use. We took advantage of the option to order one printed copy. This just confirmed that this was the product we wanted to use as save the dates. We received our final order in a neatly packaged box with all items looking fantastic. Great product!
Quick design and shipment!
Our design incorporated our special comments and was quickly turned around, printed/magnetized, and shipped. We are pleased with the quality, service, and speed.
Perfect Magnets!
My fiance and I were very pleased with our final product of our magnets! We had a minor problem with our magnets when we first received them. Our picture got adjusted a little higher than we wanted, and differently from when we last proof-pre viewed them. We called and got it taken care of. The customer service was more than kind and helpful. They fixed the problem with no questions asked. They made it easy for us, which is rare now a days with customer service. Our final product was even more perfect than our original. We were more than pleased with our magnets, and for the customer service. The magnets could not have made a more perfect "Save The Date" for us. We were very pleased and happy with our experience with magnetStreet!
Beyond our expectations!
The save the date magnets we ordered were absolutely amazing! The quality can not be beat and the price for these high quality magnets is just as amazing. The colors and fonts were exactly what we expected.

Please recomend me very good lasting scents.
I like much kinds of fragrances, except Polo Green, Azzaro and those old style, are very sharp to me. I prefer sweet frags!
Ps: I already brought and are waiting these list down to come (im brazilian, so its much time to come to me, more than a month):

you will also find that la nuit de l'homme lasts and projects amazingly.
also, i know alot of people say dolce and gabbana the one does last long, but i was extremely surprised to see that it lasted 8 hours on my skin last night, and things usually dont last tooo long on my skin.

The holy trinity:

I think Joop! reigns supreme in this area. Many of the older frags are pretty durable too, like Antaeus, Bel Ami and Giorgio. On me, the Cartier frags are long-lasting as well.
musc ravageur is good, a men, pure malt, one million i heard is good, azzaro pour homme, etc

Interesting! Just 2 hours you have XS on your skin, for me it's about 10-12 hours.
Rochas Man
Armani Eau Pour Homme
Those that fit the bill for me:
Chanel Antaeus
Aramis Havana
L'Occitane Eau des baux
Gucci Envy
Lighter scents (believe it or not)
Kenzo PH
Versace PH
My #1 recommendation would be Jaipur Homme EDP. I always get 24 or more hours of longevity and it is a sillage monster. Starts out a bit spicy but quickly becomes sweet and stays that way. Get the EDP and you will not be sorry. Also, Black Orchid (sample it first if you can) will easily give you close to 24 hours. It will be a faint smell after 20 hours, but it will still be there.

the average lonevity would be around 18 hours
I think everyone here knows I'm the biggest complainer of low longevity and sillage. I'll throw in the ones that last on me in no particular order.

terrific fragrance..there's nothing like it
Knize Ten !
When I go out with my friend who wears Joop Homme I can smell it on him all night and when he's given me a hug goodbye, my clothes smell of it the next day.
I think that's pretty incredible longevity. (Sadly, I don't like it too much.)
I adore the original Kouros and that lasts well, too. It's delicious on a sweater, even a few days later.

Gucci Pour Homme & Burberry Touch both have amazing sillage & longevity.
I will say this, you are going to be in for a treat during Carnival wearing your newly acquired Body Kouros. Be ready for endless compliments. This frag is absolutely perfect in a warm humid climate. It thrives on body heat. You are sure to get noticed from the intoxicating scent trail you will be leaving behind
I've got news for you, if you're only getting 6 hours out of things like Le Male, it may be you're either not spraying enough, spraying on a very dry part of your body, or you just can't get frags to last. Try Joop or A*Men, but if you're not getting more than eight hours out of those, you're probably not going to get that much out of anything.
Looks like theres some unanimities:
A Men (or Pure line)
YSL frags. (off course Kouros the top recomended)
But sadly Kouros are impossible to me. I really dont like the smell, looks like human sweat + horse leather to me...
So following the recomendations my next purchases will be:
A Men
Pure (malt or coffee if i can get one of that)
Opium EDP
Rive Gauche
Rochas Man or Lui
My list are good on the quesite Long-Lasting and Silage?
Today i got a Bogart Silver Scent.
Is lasts more than 8 hours at my arm when i tried the tester at shopping. I got a shower and the scent continues there.
I Really liked the frag (Eternity + Blue Jeans) but sincerely i bought for the lasting!
Terre D'Hermes
La Nuit De L'homme
Received a generous sample of Winter Star by Michael Storer yesterday. At night after a shower, I put enough on to really see how the fragrance would develop. I could still smell it this morning! He's found a couple of those synthetic molecules that are very hard to work with and create an ever so slightly feminine, but unisex fragrance. The evolution of this fragrance lasts HOURS, and I can definitely see myself getting a full bottle at some point. The first spray is a surprise. It's as though jasmine and mint were spliced together and a hybrid flower I called "jasmint" opened up the scent. It is sweet, but there are so many undulations this fragrance goes through that it would take a really fine "nose" to figure them out. Most definitely a truly niche fragrance.
Updating this:
I got new frags:
Body Kouros - really really liked the smell, its too much intoxicating but i like things like that (le male are a bit too, and are my number 1) but the lasting are less than 5 hours on me. Not bad but not good too.
La Nuit deLHome - Other amazing scent, but last 4 hours or less, not great too
Joop - Isnt a great scent, cherry + cherry. But whats that longevity!! incridible, more than 8 hours, my top 1 longevity until now with Silver Scent!
212 Sexy and Chic - Deception on Carolina Herrera. Lasts less than 3 hours, im expecting much more. Both are great scent (212 sexy are a Le Male less sweeter) but simply didnt last on me.
Continue recomending me guys, i will getting what you are recommending me.
Im getting Rochas Man + M7 + Opium EDP (this im searching a lot but are a hard-to-find scent) + Angel A Man + Terre + Bogart PH
Please continue!
Thanks for the support!
Joop, A Men, YSL La Nuit del homme, Fahrenheit, Every thing that Chanel makes(Bleu, Egoiste, Platinum Egoiste, Allure and all the Flankers). If you like sweet fragrances, then it doesn't get much sweeter then Joop and it lasts a ridiculous amount of time on my skin (15 hours +) and I have dry pale skin. Perry Ellis 360 white
Dior Homme Intense
Tobacco Vanille
I think all of these have already been said, but I second Tobacco Vanille, Jaipur Homme EDP, and A*Men.
Is obsession a long-laster?
much reviews telling that is a powerhouse, one of the most powerfull ever!
Joop Homme reigns supreme, it's wonderful especially if you love sweet/woody scents. Just 2 sprays needed and you could be set for 10-24 hours
1. Try some techniques to get ANY frag to last longer... don't spray right after showering, try adding moisturizer to your skin before, try spraying on your clothes (watch for stains), try spraying more then usual, put a dab behind your ears, etc.
2. Try some more expensive and higher quality fragrances, not the usual mall designer ones. Some are good, but many aren't. When you go niche and higher end, often the most obvious difference is taht they last longer and project better. I'd rather pay $100 for something I love that lasts 10 hours, then $60-70 for something that's so-so and gone in 3-4 hours.
Where are you located?
PS - nice L33t work there...

Most of the time I am very proud of the Basenotes community. Time after time I have witnessed the thoughtfulness, empathy & genuine friendship that members of this community extend to others - oldtimers & newcomers alike. There are other times, however, when egos get the upper hand and civility goes out the window. My philosophy is that I won't say anything here that I would not say if you were standing in front of me. Welcome to Basenotes, each and every one of us. ~ TwoRoads
I think people really need to get over this performance anxiety with their fragrances.
Want something to last longer? Reapply.
Your fragrance doesn't "project"? Try more sprays on exposed skin.
Also bear in mind that your brain tends to block out a fragrance soon after you put it on. That is, just because you can't smell it on yourself it doesn't mean that no one else can.
I am familiar with about half the fragrances you have listed below. I have had great success with lasting power. Sometimes it isn't so much the formula that determines the lasting power of a fragrance, but more how you apply it. Spray your hair, hair is a protein with a smooth less porous than skin, fragrance oils adhere and remain on the surface of the hair shaft where skin can be dry, porous, and act like a sponge-basically absorbing the oil and cutting short the experience fragrance.
And sometimes you just have to over apply because of the formula. Terre D'Hermes is a great example of slight over apply and applying to hair and can tell you the feedback is beyond remarkable.
Give it a shot & hopefully this helps you out.
I like so much of long-lasting and good silage fragrances.
I have in my wardrobe 19 fragrances, but less than a half last for more than 4 hours, wich was very short for me. Looks like im gaving my money for nothing.
My wardrobe, in order of lasting:
Fleur du Male - 7 hours
Le Male - 6 hours
1 million - 6 hours
Le Male Terrible - 5 hours
Prada Amber - 5 hours
Bulgari Blu - 5 hours
Diesel Fuel for Life - 4 hours
Cacharel Amor Tentation - 4 hours
Blue Jeans - 4 hours
Lalique Lion Head - 4 hours
Le Male Summer - 3 hours
B Man - 3 hours
XS - 2 hours
Bulgari Extreme - 2 hours
Incanto Salvatore Ferragamo - 2 hours
Unforgivable - 1 hour
Everlast - 1 hour
CK Be - 1/2 hour
Please recomend me very good lasting scents.
I like much kinds of fragrances, except Polo Green, Azzaro and those old style, are very sharp to me. I prefer sweet frags!
Ps: I already brought and are waiting these list down to come (im brazilian, so its much time to come to me, more than a month):
Red for Men (its a Le Male bottle but red, i brought for curiosity, only 15 bucks)
Body Kouros
Animale Animale
La Nuit del Homme
212 Sexy
Baby Blue Jeans
Azzaro Chrome
Eau du Sud
Carrera Black
How much time can i expect for the lasting of my shipped list?
Thank you Guys, Expect good recomendations![/QUOTE]
Terre D'Hermes (Parfum Concentration)
A*Men (and it's flanker Pure Malt to some extent)
Bond No 9 New Haarlem (will last 10-12 hours easy)
Tobacco Vanille
Back to Black (lasts long, but wears close and is not a sillage king)
1 Million - will continue to kill those around you for many hours as well.
Someone mentioned Musc Ravageur, and while I think it's one of the best fragrances EVER created, it wears fairly close to the skin on me, and after 4 hours needs a re-spray. So I always carry either a little decant or one of their 10ml travel sprays with me if I'm going to be out that long.
Personally for me and my skin, the longest lasting scents have been
Versace Eau Fraiche
Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme
Burberry London
If you are getting THAT bad of longevity from powerhouses like Prada Amber, Fleur du Male, 1 Million, and Le Male, you either need to check your diet or your nose.
***For sale:
Iris Pallida 50ml
Ungaro I 75ml
and more! - http://www.basenotes.net/threads/301...n-Man-and-more
Sorry bumping up an old thread, I am desperately looking to smells that project to the tune of Black Aoud / Sweet Oriental Dream / Amouage Epic Man / Jaipur Homme EDP / A Men / LIDGE.
I could really do with not buying any more "tame" / "office safe" / "skin" scents. I like it sexy and loud. Money is no object. Tom Ford TV is on the buy list so any other recommendations would be welcomed.

You can try Amouage Jubilation and Interlude. Alternatively Montale White Oud and Dark Aoud are monsters too. You basically have to shower to get it off.

There are a number of "have-to" lists in Paris, places where people just have to go while they're here. Often people have limited time, and I hear ya, so I might suggest the departments stores on the Boulevard Haussman, Printempts and Galeries Lafayette (although even since Printemps started charging €1,5 to use the restrooms, I'm inclined to go to the Galeries Lafayette, just on principle.) Some of the well-known chocolatiers and pastry shops have kiosks in those stores, so you can hit the "big names" in one fell swoop. If that's your thing.
For those wishing to shop on a smaller scale, there's La Graineterie du Marché at the excellent Marché d'Aligre. It's the only outdoor market in Paris that's open every day, except Monday, and in the center of the market, you'll find José Ferré tending to his lovely, old-fashioned dry goods shop.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Really Lovely
We originally ordered our save the dates in this design and really loved them! So when it came time to order the invites we decided to use this same suite. They turned out beautifully. We didn't change any of the colors. Really the only issue was trying to figure out how to close them and there is no inner envelope for the pocket invites. We fixed both of these issues by adding a band we made out of ribbon and adhering squares of card stock layered. The top layer we adding our guests names to, so that everyone would know exactly who was invited. I believe they turned out better than I thought they would and we've gotten many compliments on them.
Amazing Packaging!
Not only was I happy with magnets that I ordered but I was very impressed with the package it came in. Beautiful tiffany blue magnet sealed box with a sample kit of invitations inside! They obviously take alot of pride in their work and I would absolutely recommend them to any bride!
Loved my wedding invitations and the ease of making them personal!
First, I loved that you had a pre-existing design perfect for my wedding theme (Evergreen/Pine). Then it was so easy to edit and personalize the invitation to fit my needs! So many other places would have charged exorbitant amounts to alter the slightest part of their design, but Magnetstreet made it so easy to request changes! I like how the proofs are delivered and reviewed before the final printing to make sure everything is right. The "JustOne" program is extremely helpful too! Everything I ordered arrived quickly and the once or twice I called with concerns over my order, I was helped quickly and professionally. You can't get better customer service!
Save the Date
Great print quality, easy to use editing, a little frustrating as you cannot move boxes or add whatever, but if you follow their format, you will get great quality and I was so excited when they came!!
Love the invitations and rsvp cards. Good quality...even better price!

Havelock Mayor Jimmy Sanders has always believed that being a part of the community makes the community better.
In that sense, Sanders — who has served Havelock in various civic, church and volunteer efforts over the last 40 years and in city government for 29 years — has had a hand in making Havelock a pretty good community.
"A good citizen is someone who has a positive influence in the community," Sanders said.
Sanders' eight years as mayor of the city he loves ends today when Will Lewis is officially sworn in to the city's top post after November's election.
Sanders, 66, the son of one of Havelock's first town board members, returned to the city after serving in the Air Force in the 1970s. He immediately began to volunteer with the Havelock Little League.
"He put a lot of time and a lot of effort into it," said fellow league volunteer Doug Franks. "He held several offices and he was a manager and he had real good times and he was real hard to beat.
"I think he was very patient and he did a good job with his parents and with his ball teams. He put an awful lot of time and effort into it and he did a good job in both of the leagues, Little League and Babe Ruth. He's been totally committed to them."
Henry Sermons worked with Sanders for Havelock Babe Ruth.
"He's a good man," Sermons said. "The thing about Jimmy is you know where you stand. There ain't no twilight zone. It's black and white. And you've got to respect a person like that. He's a true friend."
Sanders and Sermons go way back, to days when they attended the Atlantic Coast Conference basketball tournament together.
"The only real, real problem I've ever had with Jimmy, in the 40 or 50 years we've known one another, is he's a damn diehard State fan and he hates Carolina," Sermons joked.
Sanders has long stopped managing Babe Ruth baseball teams, but he still acts as a Babe Ruth assistant state commissioner.
"I'm a little old to be out there keeping up with 15-year-old kids, but they need me for programs," Sanders said. "I still see people out there who played ball for me, and they are out there with their children and in some cases with their grandchildren. It's a great feeling."
Sermons said Sanders put Havelock first, even when it meant the two of them and brother Ray Sanders took a loan out themselves to purchase a crash truck for the fire department after the city board rejected the purchase.
"Jimmy, Ray and I said well, 'we need it,' so the three of us went to the bank and borrowed the money and bought the truck and delivered it to the fire department," Sermons said. "Everybody thought it was great, and that's why we started having the Old Fashioned Fourth, to raise money, and we did and paid the loan off."
For Sanders, it was typical of his passion for the city.
"What's not to love about Havelock? It is a great place," he said. "We're so blessed. We're in Eastern North Carolina, which I think is a great place to live. We're close to the beaches, but we're not on the beach. We have low crime. We have good schools. We have great programs for kids. We have good churches and good folks. We're a community that accepts everybody. We are an inclusive community. If you want to come to Havelock, we're not going to ask one question about who you were before you got here. All we really care about is who you are from this day forward."
Richard Rice served with Sanders on the Havelock Board of Commissioners.
"From the time he has been on the rescue squad, he, his father, his brother, started it and worked hard on it," Rice said. "He's been very active for the city of Havelock. I don't know how you replace him today because I don't know anybody else that comes close to him. He's been very interested in the city and worked hard for the city in every way that I can think of. On the board, he was very dedicated, hard-working and sincere. He and I didn't always agree. Everything that he's ever done has been for the good of Havelock."
Havelock Commissioner Danny Walsh has served while Sanders has been mayor for the last eight years. But it's not the politics that Walsh admires most. He recalls the days when Sanders and his wife Cherrie worked together on the fire and rescue department.
"He and his wife rode the ambulance every night. They put out the fires at your homes. They carried your family to the hospital or from car wrecks to the hospital," Walsh said. " … To go to all those wrecks has got to take a toll on a person. Jimmy and his wife did that very night. The things that he did out of politics, to me, are what make the man who he is."
Sanders served as a city commissioner or as mayor for 29 years. Even though that time is ending, he'll still be involved with the city as president of the Allies for Cherry Point's Tomorrow lobby group.
Still, he'll have a little more free time and plans on some trips with Cherrie, but Havelock will always be home.
"We're Havelock people and the bulk of our time is going to be spent in Havelock," he said. "This is my home. This is where I live."
He looks forward to time with his grandchildren.
"All I'm trying to do is make sure they have great memories," he said. "When they think of their granddaddy, I want it to be nothing but fun. I have great memories of all the fun I had with my grandparents and I just want to leave those same memories with my grandkids."
Sanders said being a part of the development of the 50-acre Havelock Recreation Complex during the 1980s was one of his greatest achievements as a city leader.
"It makes me feel good. To me, these are the things that local government should be doing," he said. "These are the important things. These are the things that will make a difference in the community and in a kid's life. If we don't provide the kids something to do, the kids will find something to do and often it's not something that we might want them to do."
He's learned that the most important thing as a city leader is never to give up.
"If it's a worthy cause, then it's worthy of your effort, no matter how long it takes," Sanders said.
And the worthy cause he's been thoroughly behind is protection of Cherry Point.
"Cherry Point is the goose that's laying the golden egg," Sanders said. "We are so blessed as a community to have a Cherry Point. Cherry Point is not just 5,000 jobs. It's 5,000 of the best jobs in Eastern North Carolina. Cherry Point is an irreplaceable national asset. The patriotism and dedication of those employees is second to none. As a community, we have to protect Cherry Point because of its economic impact."
Sanders said he could not have been a part of such great things in Havelock without the support he has received from the people. "I think I have served the people well," he said. "I thank Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the center of my life, and I thank Him for allowing me to have this opportunity."

• Altered coupons - warnable offenseAs for the coupons posted early, as long as they are hosted by the retailer on the retailer's server, we'll allow them. As a compromise, we'll hide the posts until they are 'officially released', but we will allow them to be posted.
• Posting a scanned version of a coupon that was printed out at Coupons.com - warnable offense
(note: providing a link to where to print out the coupon at Coupons.com is OK)
• Scanned manufacturer's coupons - warnable offense
• One-time use coupons (useless anyway)
• Coupons asked to be removed by the source (for example, Lowe's and Target have both asked us to pull coupons off SD)
• Please note that CVS has asked us to not allow attachments, this includes *.JPG, *.PDF, and *.DOC to be posted here. Direct links to CVS coupons will still be allowed.
Quote :Dear Ms. Jen :
Thank you for taking the time to contact CVS/pharmacy with your inquiry regarding CVS/pharmacy coupon policies and proceedures. I hope that the following information will help to clarify things for your group.
We value our savvy coupon shoppers at CVS/pharmacy. As of June 2007 however, we are no longer accepting expired coupons.
Like many companies, we cheerfully reset expired coupons for many years to accommodate our wonderful customers. The recent change in proceedure can only be attributed to loss prevention.
CVS/pharmacy will accept coupons printed from the Internet.
They must have a legible barcode that scans at the register.
If the coupon does not scan at the register, the cashier should politely inform you that we are unable to accept your coupon. We do not allow manual overrides at the register for coupons printed from the Internet.
Our registers are set to allow 1 CVS coupon and 1 manufacturer coupon per item. However, the staff should be allowing customers to use Extra Bucks in combination with other CVS coupons since these are coupons you have "earned."
In addition, similarly they should be allowing the use of "offer at the register" coupons which would be an open offer of $3 off of $15 or a certain dollar amount off of a specific item.
Since our registers are programmed to only accept 2 coupons (1 CVS, 1 manufacturer) per item if the number of coupons exceed the items purchased a member of management will need to assist the cashier in processing the coupons.
I apologize in advance for any inconvenience.
But once again, I thank you for contacting us. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us again.

I think the real problem is how CVS set this promotion up, and did you notice in the preview of next week's ad it says "ask the pharmacy for a prescription review and get the $100 book"?
I've never been to the Minute Clinic until I wanted the book, so I didn't realize there isn't a receptionist or anything, just the nurse. So, if the nurse is with someone you have to wait. Then the nurse gets irritated when you "attack" her when she finally opens the door, further she gets more irritated when you tell her you don't need the flu shot! So really, that just wasn't the smartest way to go about giving out the books.
The further society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it - George Orwell
"Give me Liberty, or Give me Death!"
I meant everything I said and in fact restrained myself-
"My apologies to the rest of you reading this that I have stooped down to this level in responding on this issue."
in your case you did not have to do any "stooping"
I do think this is a forum equally available for both positive and negative comments
if you were to look, you would see that all my negative comments are in response to other negative postings and never initiated by "AVANDARLAY"
by the way-haven't you read all the posts -one after another by people who were mistreated by cvs????

So, ever since CVS implemented new tax rules, I've been using an extra $1 ECB to help cover the tax and then I hand over my MQs. This usually results in me having a negative subtotal (about $1) and then tax brings me back to the positive. Recently, some of the cashiers at one store have refused to scan my last MQ saying that that would put me in the negative (even though I would still be in the positive after tax) and no amount of talking will change their minds.
What do you guys usually say? I guess I could just all together avoid this store but it's just down the street so it's a pain to have to avoid it.

Appointments & Referrals
Call 425-744-1777 for information.
Our Team
The Cardiovascular Diagnostic Imaging Center team has decades of experience – all focused on providing high quality test results that will give referring physicians a clearer picture of what is happening with their patients' hearts. Our team includes:
- Nurse Practitioners
- Registered Nurses
- Cardiac sonographers
- Vascular sonographers
- Nuclear medicine technologists
- Administrative & support staff
All of these skilled health-care professionals have completed at least two to four years of training in their field of expertise.
Nurse Practitioner (ARNP)
A nurse practitioner is a registered nurse who has completed additional education and training (a master's or doctoral degree). Nurse practitioners are licensed by the state of Washington to provide some of the same care that is provided by a physician, including prescribing medicine and treatments.
Registered Nurse (R.N.)
A registered nurse is a health-care professional who received a bachelor's or associate degree in nursing. Registered nurses have been trained to observer, evaluate and assess patients, administer medication and treatments, and assist with diagnostic tests.
Cardiac sonographer (also known as echocardographers)
A cardiac sonographer has received training in the use of an ultrasound to view and create images of the chambers, vessels, valves and walls of the patient's heart. The images are called echocardiograms. This is a noninvasive procedure because it does not require inserting anything into the heart. Our cardiac sonographers have additional training to be able to perform 3D echocardiograms.
Vascular sonographer
Vascular technologists are trained to use ultrasound to listen to and evaluate blood flow, blood pressure, the level of oxygen in the blood and circulation in the patient's veins and arteries. This is a noninvasive procedure because the vascular sonographer does not need to insert anything into the veins or arteries.
Nuclear medicine technologist
A nuclear medicine technologist has received specialized training to administer a dose of radioactive medication and to use a camera to follow the medication as it travels through the veins, arteries and heart while the patient is at rest or exercising. The technologist will create computer images for a physician to evaluate.
Administrative & support staff
Our administrative and support staff ensure the center operates efficiently and our patients receive the tests their physicians have requested. They schedule appointments and are available to answer questions about insurance and billing.

While the countries that make a point of competing for the world's best and brightest tweaked their entry systems in 2007, the European Commission took a bold leap in late October: it formally proposed a European Union "Blue Card" scheme for admitting highly qualified non-EU workers who already have a work contract in a Member State and professional qualifications.

For five years now, members of dozens of tribes — from the Assiniboine to the Yakama — have gathered in Cone Field House to drum and dance, to sing and pray, to share their history and traditions with people of all cultures. The annual Social Powwow is a reunion and a community gathering, a time of celebration calling for the finest regalia.
The event is sponsored by Willamette's Native American Enlightenment Association and has attracted more than 1,000 visitors in recent years. According to Anthropology Professor Rebecca Dobkins, this year's "grand entry" opening ceremony drew a record crowd.
The Powwow capped a weekend of meetings of the Native American Advisory Council, March 16–17 in Salem. Tribal representatives convened to discuss the future of programming at Willamette for Native students and alumni, the University's commitment to tutoring Native students at the nearby Chemawa Indian School, and long-term plans to build a longhouse on campus to facilitate the University's mission to serve Native communities of the Willamette Valley.

Oil Reservoir Simulations (Image 11)
June 23, 2010
Oil Reservoir Simulations (Image 11) Visualizations of oil reservoir simulations at various stages in an optimization. Pumps, represented by asterisks, push oil toward wells, represented by small white circles that draw oil from the ground. Blue areas indicate areas of high water concentration. Brown areas indicate areas of high oil concentration. By the end of the simulations, there is not much oil left in the reservoir and what is left has been swept toward the wells. More about this ImageIn oil production management, it is often important to "squeeze" as much oil out of a reservoir as possible. In practice, this is often done by injecting water, gas or other fluids into the reservoir through some wells, while pumping oil out through others. The injection is used to keep the reservoir pressure high, to drive the oil from the injection wells to the production wells, or to modify the viscosity of oil to make it flow more easily. The problem with this is that one often doesn't know where the best places for injection and production wells are. Numerical simulation can help to optimize their placement. In this sequence of pictures for an imaginary oil reservoir, we start with a naive placement of wells (stars indicate injection, circles production wells) and simulate how oil flows under these conditions. The pictures show the pattern of oil saturation at the end of the projected life time of the reservoir. As seen in the early images, the oil (brown) is displaced by the injected water (blue) and pushed towards production wells, but a significant amount of oil remains at the end in the reservoir, mainly around the rim of the reservoir. In subsequent steps, an algorithm called SPSA (for Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation) moves wells around in the reservoir and tries to find locations that allow for a better exploitation of the oil. As iterations proceed, it becomes obvious that more and more of the oil can be produced by better and better placement of injector and producer wells. In the final images, almost all of the oil is swept out of the reservoir at the end of its projected lifetime. The pattern of wells found using this automatic process here resembles a pattern often used heuristically used by oil field engineers, called a "line drive" pattern, in which injector wells are aligned in a line (roughly a horizontal line in the images), driving the oil towards producer wells that are also located in lines, here the bottom and top boundaries of the reservoir. This research was performed at the University of Texas at Austin's Center for Subsurface Modeling with support from National Science Foundation grant CNS 04-27005.

So! Last day in San Fran i got organised and took a boat to the island for a tour. The island isn't that big, if u have watched Xmen3 you would be familiar with it ;)
The tour was pretty cheap, only like 25bucks, but that included an audio tour which was great. They gave u these earphones and they talked you thru the prison and told you where to walk. There was lots of guest speakers..guards, previous inmates and other people who lived on the island. Did you know that native indians took over the island for 19months...at some point after the jail closed...for political protesting or something
My brothers friend "Birdman" apparently was held at alcatraz :P...and he DID actually work at the ARC aswelll! true story!
There were other famous inmates such as...Al Capone? i don't really know who these ppl are, but he was done for tax evasion?? doesn't sound very bad to me :S.
Well, theres quite a few pics up for this blog, and a few token ones of me, cause i got told i wasn't taking enough of myself...its a bit tricky when there is only one of me tho!
Off to Vancouver on wednesday!

In mid-August, 2011, McDonnell was named chairman of the National Governors Association, replacing Texas Governor Rick Perry.[1]
He has also served in the Virginia House of Delegates for the City of Virginia Beach from 1992 to 2005.
Moving with his father's Air Force career, Bob McDonnell was born in Philadelphia, moved to Virginia a year later, and spent several years in Germany in his childhood. During his own time in the U.S. Army, McDonnell would again he stationed in Germany.
Bob McDonnell is a 1972 graduate from Bishop Ireton High School in Alexandria, Virginia. He later received a B.B.A. from the University of Notre Dame in 1976, which he attended on a ROTC scholarship. He went on to receive a M.B.A. from Boston University in 1980, and a M.A./J.D. from Regent University. McDonnell served in the U.S. Army for twenty-one years, and retired with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. After leaving active duty in 1981, he joined American Hospital Supply Corporation.
McDonnell was elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1992, and has held the positions of Assistant Majority Leader and Chairman of the Courts of Justice Committee. In addition, he served on the Committees on Health, Welfare and Institutions, and the Rules Committee.

Political career
Governor of Virginia (2010-Present)
McDonnell was first elected Governor of Virginia in 2009 and assumed office on January 16, 2010. His current term ends in 2013 and he is prevented from running for a second term in office. The term limits Virginia imposes on its governors are more strict than any other state in the country: under the commonwealth's constitution, no governor may serve back-to-back terms. This means that McDonnell, unlike other governors in their first term, is ineligible to run for re-election until a full term has passed.
Abortion bill
In February 2012, the Virginia House of Delegates passed a controversial "informed consent" abortion bill that requires women to undergo an ultrasound before getting an abortion. The ultrasound would determine the fetus' gestational age. Del. David Englin strongly opposed the legislation, warning "this bill will require many women in Virginia to undergo vaginal penetration with an ultrasound probe against their consent in order to exercise their constitutional right to an abortion, even for nonsurgical, noninvasive, pharmaceutical abortions."[2]
The bill, having passed the Virginia State Senate two weeks earlier, was sent to McDonnell who initially indicated he would sign the legislation into law.[3] But the legislation captured the attention of the nation. It drew criticism from across the country, was satirized on the popular late night comedy show Saturday Night Live, and drew a large crowd to the state capitol in Richmond for an impromptu protest. Opponents sent a petition with 33,000 signatures urging the governor to veto the bill.[4] McDonnell changed his position on the legislation, withdrawing his support and stating "Mandating an invasive procedure in order to give informed consent is not a proper role for the state. I am requesting that the Virginia General Assembly amend this bill to explicitly state that no woman in Virginia will have to undergo a transvaginal ultrasound involuntarily."[4]
Pension fund
McDonnell unveiled a plan in late December 2010 that would have all employees, new and current, contribute 5 percent of their pay to their retirement. At that time, McDonnell outlined that he would give them a 3 percent salary increase. "This is a start for fixing the pension system that has been out of whack for years and years. I will not pass on a broken system to another governor," McDonnell said.
The governor's plan could leave employees with a cut in take-home pay. At least one employee group voiced concern. The Virginia Government Employees Association is pleased that McDonnell is making an effort to return the retirement system to sound financial footing, but it is not happy with what it perceives as a reduction in pay for members. "We have deep concerns about his proposal to have current state employees begin contributing 5 percent of their salary to the retirement system," VGEA said in a statement release after the governor's announcement. "While the governor is attempting to keep employee salaries whole in the proposal, he relies on a potential pay bonus using year-end savings in the state budget to do so. The net effect is that without the bonus, state employees could face a pay cut amounting to a little over 2 percent."[5]
Virginia energy
Virginia was one of the states preparing to engage in offshore drilling and when President Obama put the moratorium on offshore drilling after the BP oil spill disaster in 2010, Gov. McDonnell was vocally upset. "We didn't give up when we had the Challenger disaster in the space program or when we had nuclear meltdowns on Three Mile Island. We did what Americans always do in making progress — we found solutions and moved forward. But this is probably going to slow us down," the governor said.
McDonnell held a conference with nearly 800 leaders from the energy industry in October 2010, "The Governor's Conference on Energy," to tout his message that Virginia will be the energy capital of the East. "I've been a very strong proponent of using all of Virginia's resources — coal, natural gas, oil, wind, nuclear, offshore-gas, oil, wind alternatives – all of these are a part of our quest for independence," McDonnell told WTOP radio spring 2010. McDonnell has also indicated favor towards nuclear power; as of October 2010, Virginia has two nuclear power plants in Surry County and Louisa County. McDonnell says he wants to add more: "Lynchburg, Va. can be the nuclear capital of America," McDonnell told Virginia Statehouse News. "It's clean — very few environmental concerns. Since the meltdown at Three-Mile Island, there have been tremendous technological advancements made. I think it's a huge part of America's future."[6]
Freezes and bonuses
McDonnell handed out a one-time bonus to state employees in 2010, but said they should not expect a permanent raise. State employees received a 3-percent bonus in late November 2010, their first pay boost of any kind in three years. The day before the bonus distribution, McDonnell applauded President Obama's two-year freeze of federal worker's wages and said the tough economic times call for austerity. "We got a $13.5 trillion national debt. Everybody understands now, federal spending is out of control. We've got to be able to rein things in," McDonnel said on WTOP radio. "I think it's a prudent step. It's a good start, but they got to do a whole lot more than that if they want to get this budget deficit under control and restore fiscal responsibility in Washington."[7]
One of Gov. McDonnell's key issues has been Virginia transportation. In December 2010, McDonnell told the Governor's Transportation Conference that he will spend $400 million on road construction immediately and ask to borrow nearly $3 billion more. "The more we build today, the better deal we provide to our citizens," he told the gathering of lawmakers and highway industry representatives.
McDonnell said he would take advantage of the low highway-construction costs in late 2010 to early 2011. He planned to ask the General Assembly to pour money into the state's transportation funding. The governor said the state has dropped the ball on transportation funding and indicated he intends to make that up with several measures. The transportation budget has been cut multiple times in the years before McDonnell was inaugurated, totaling $6 billion in cuts, McDonnell said.
"Over the past two decades, state support for transportation has not kept up with our growth as a Commonwealth. This has led to more congestion, longer commutes and missed economic opportunities, McDonnell said. McDonnell intends to infuse a transportation infrastructure bank with cash, specifically $150 million from the budget surplus and $250 million from an audit of the Virginia Department of Transportation.[8]
$3 billion proposal
As part of his budget amendments, McDonnell said he wants to help pay for $4 billion in new transportation spending by issuing $3 billion in bonds. A majority of the new bonds McDonnell is suggesting were already approved in 2007, but had yet to be sold. He's hoping to raise $1.8 billion within three years by selling those bonds at twice the speed: $600 million per year instead of the original $300 million per year. "I don't think that selling bonds that are already authorized, and are already built into our existing debt capacity models, getting the best deals in modern Virginia history and putting thousands of Virginians to work while doing it, should be that controversial," McDonnell said last Friday.
Most legislators seemed to agree, but they were confused about the governor's wish to raise $1.1 billion by issuing a type of bonds called GARVEE bonds that are paid by the federal government to help fund pre-approved transportation projects.[9]
Attorney General of Virginia (2006-2009)
McDonnell won election as the [[Attorney General of Virginia] in 2005, narrowly defeating state Senator Creigh Deeds by just 323 votes.[10]
Virginia House of Delegates (1992-2006)
McDonnell was first elected to the Virginia House of Delegates in 1992 and served seven terms representing the 84th District. He served as chair of the Courts of Justice Committee, co-chair of the Agriculture, Chesapeake and Natural Resources Committee, and as Assistant Majority Leader.
In 2009, McDonnell defeated state Sen. Creigh Deeds to win Virginia's gubernatorial election. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce gave McDonnell substantial support, giving $972,877 to his campaign. Four year prior, the Chamber had given $400,000 towards Republican Jerry Kilgore's failed bid for governor.[11]
In 2005, McDonnell ran for Attorney General of Virginia. The first result showed him with a victory of 323 votes, out of over 1.9 million votes cast, over opponent Creigh Deeds. Deeds went on to file for a recount, which began on December 20, 2005. After preliminary figures revealed 37 additional votes for McDonnell, Deeds conceded, giving McDonnell a 360 vote margin of victory.[12]
Presidential preference
Bob McDonnell endorsed Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential election. [13]
McDonnell and his wife, Maureen, have five children.
