Our trucking company will always call you before the delivery and let you check the condition of your items when they arrive, so do not worry about that you could miss the delivery.
Don't be fooled by some companies "Free Shipping" offers. They just add shipping charge in their product prices and their prices are usually $150-$500 more than our prices. In addition, some competitors only ship your bike to the nearest trucking company terminals, those terminals are not readily available in a lot areas, that means you may have to spend your own time, your own gas and get a truck and trailer to drive long way ( in some cases, it could be more than 150 miles) to get it. Also, some competitors will ask you to pay additional $30-50 for residential address delivery and $50-$75 for liftgate service. Those motorcycles are very heavy and in most cases, you do need those services and end up paying a lot more for shipping.
No any hidden charges or tricks here, we only offer you fast, reliable and honest services. Our shipping charge already includes liftgate service and residential address delivery and we will deliver your bike right to your door.
Note: For oversized bikes, there might be a chance that our trucking company driver cannot unload this bike with liftgate on his own. The reason is that there is no lift gate big enough to unload this bike and this bike is too heavy for one person to unload. If our trucking company informs us so, you are expected to have several friends to help our truck driver to unload the bike when it arrives at your door. You can also provide a business address with a forklift to us for delivery or you can go to trucking company local terminal to pick up your bike.
Want a Rush Processing?
Normally orders are processed and shipped out of our warehouses within 3 business days. If you pay for the RUSH option, we will ship out your order within one business day. If you have a birthday or need this order rushed to you, simply select the Rush Option when placing your order and we GUARANTEE to ship out within one business day. If for any reason we cannot get your order shipped out within one business day, we will refund your rush charge and still rush your order.

Ride Safe and Have Fun!
Off-road riding is great fun! When you take proper safety precautions, injury is less likely to occur. As a responsible rider, you must outfit yourself in appropriate safety gear every time you hit the trails. Doing so keeps injuries and equipment damage to a minimum.
Buy a helmet safety approved by the Department of Transportation. It will have "D.O.T." stamped on the back, near the base. It should fit snugly, allowing very little head movement within the helmet.
Purchase a quality set of goggles. Trail debris can hit a rider in the face, and sunglasses do not offer enough eye protection. Purchase special safety goggles that easily fit over prescription eyeglasses if necessary.
Obtain a high-quality pair of off-road riding boots. Tennis shoes and hiking boots are not safe enough for off-road trail riding. A single rock can break an ankle on an ORV trail. Stout riding boots with heavy-duty casings are essential trail safety gear.
Buy a comfortable pair of riding gloves. Vibration from the handlebars can cause sore hands and wrists. A good pair of riding gloves will absorb some of the impact and make your ride more enjoyable.
Purchase the appropriate clothing. Regardless of outside temperature, wear a lightweight, long sleeved shirt and thick, full-length pants to protect the skin. Breathable material is necessary, as are bright colors easily visible to oncoming riders. Riding pants and jerseys offer the rider much needed protection from overhanging limbs, branches, and flying debris.
Acquire a chest protector. Stones thrown by other ATVs and unexpected branches in the trail can hit a person squarely in the chest while trail riding. It is extremely dangerous to have the wind knocked out of you at 50 mph. A chest protector is mandatory safety gear for ORV trail riding.
Purchase a good neck brace. It provide strong support and good protection to your neck and it is mandatory to wear for dirt riding in some states.
We carry all types of high quality name brand riding and protective gear. Click

Manny IS the MAN!!! This is the second time he has helped me with a technical issue that was extreemly difficult. Manny knows what he's talking about and helps me understand my Gokart! I don't know what I'd do without him. He is also very customer service oriented. Not once did I feel degraded or stupid because I didn't know what he was talking about. He took the time to explain it until I DID understand. I'm so thankful for him and his help WHAT A GUY!!!!!!!!
Jordan Amber
I purchased this Go Kart about a month ago. It should really be considered a small Dune Buggy! It is very large and my 6'4 brother fit into it with ease. You will not find a deal better than the one here at PowersportsMax! Believe me, I looked. The tires are upgraded and are huge! And the seats are also upgraded to very nice racing seats. Also, it is the only one of it's size with a 12hp engine. It is a beautiful Go kart (I purchased red). It cranked up immediately after putting gas in and lived up to all it's expectations. It does take some assembly when it arrives, and it would go alot smoother if you pepare yourself with a jack to slip on the tires. You WILL need two people to get this thing out of the metal shipping crate (we had to cut it out with a metal saw). ALso, the shipping itself was super fast! I recieved my awesome Go kart only 5 days after I ordered it - and I live on the opposite side of the country in Florida (ships from California). If you make this purchase you will NOT be dissapointed! I can't stress enough how cool this Go Kart is!
Making buying decisions based solely on these reviews is not recommended.

Early Alert/Intervention
Because some students may have difficulty adjusting to the atmosphere in higher education, the Success Center has an early alert/referral program. If students encounter difficulties meeting academic standards, faculty can refer students to their academic advisor for assistance.
Students can be referred for excessive absences, low exam grades, lack of participation, low mid-term average, etc. Students can also receive positive feedback regarding their academic performance via our early alert system.
The Starfish Retention Solutions provides a quick and easy way to students assistance early enough in the semester to make a difference. While nothing substitutes direct discussions between students and instructors concerning their academic performance (e. g. after class or during office hours), Starfish is a valuable resource in the event that additional academic assistance is needed.

The Majors and Minors section of the academic catalog explains graduation requirements. You can also read more about courses in the Undergraduate Course Listings section of the academic catalog.
Sample degree plans provide a glimpse of what your schedule may look like as you complete this program.
Students will gain an understanding of the various critical approaches to literary texts and authors. You will explore and be engaged in the relationship between literature and the Christian faith.
Journalism and Creative Writing students participate in a sequence of journalism and creative writing courses that will finish with an internship experience in writing. Your internship should give you practical experience in the marketplace and should help you explore careers in writing, editing and the media.
The Teaching English as a Second Language, or TESOL, emphasis will help prepare you to teach English to speakers of other languages abroad and in non-public school settings in the United States. Only Education majors who take these courses will be certified to teach ESL in the public schools of the US.
The emphasis covers important aspects of first and second language acquisition, TESL teaching methods and assessment strategies, historical and modern linguistics, among others. You will also have the opportunity to take a variety of literature courses focusing on cross-cultural literature.
"I graduated from Greenville College a B.A. in English along with a Certificate to teach English as a Second Language. Currently, I am living in Omaha, Nebraska with my husband and work at Ralston High School in the ESL Department. It is challenging work, but I enjoy it very much. I love being able to apply what I learned through the English classes at Greenville and help the newcomer students learn English for the first time. There is nothing more exciting than finding a place where I am able to serve others through the gifts God has so richly blessed me with. My only hope is that the students I teach now and in days to come will be transformed as much as I have been through my teachers at Greenville College."

To make it clear, I do not think for a minute that the debate should be on matters of this nature (ie political & social), but people in glass houses should not throw stones.
And the National Media and especially the North Carolina media seems to be throwing them at New Orleans and Louisiana with a lack of restraint.
The debate should stay on the ability of the area to support the team and that should be done by comparing the effort in New Orleans to similar efforts made nationally.

Investing in real estate or starting a new real estate business can be fun and profitable, but only if you know what you're doing. In order to have fun at your job, your work has to run without any glitches, and if there are no glitches, then you're probably at the very top in this industry. But, not everyone can do this, because there is a set of rules that should be followed before your company can become the best in the real estate business. So, let's start listing the rules, shall we?
Rule 1 – Be professional
Basically, this rule states that you can't wing it when it comes to business; you have to have a game plan before venturing in such a business. In addition, marketing strategy is an utter must have, because if you don't have it, you are very likely to fail. So, before starting with something else, you should come up with a game plan and a marketing strategy for your company, and everything will be much easier later.
Rule 2 – Do not change strategies
Keep searching until you find a strategy that fits you perfectly, and then stick to it! In no way should you change your strategy in mid air. If you do this, not only will your new strategy fail because it's standing on completely different basis, but your first strategy will also be ruined. So, just keep going with your original solution, and stick to it.
Rule 3 – Do not overstep your budget
Before venturing on your real estate business, you first need to compile a budget. Figure out how much money you've got, and that will be your limit in knowing what you can afford, and what you can't. Do not overstep your budget, because when you do so, you will immediately be in a debt, even earlier than you've initiated your own business. And that is never a good start,
Rule 4 – Keep up with the competition
First of all, you must keep in mind that the real estate industry in a crowded one, and that only the best can survive in it. So, in order to be the best in this industry, you must keep a competitive advantage over your competitors, and always be one step ahead of them. Discover something that is going to give you that advantage, and then find another thing. Two things are better than one, right? And two things will get you to the top faster than just one.
Rule 5 – Do not give up
As it was mentioned earlier, the real estate industry is extremely crowded, and only the best can survive in it. That is why some loose their will to continue, and just give up. Do not be one of them! Just be persistent, and something is bound to come up. And remember, if you give up, everything you've invested in this business will be gone, and all your hard work will be for nothing. Just be strong and keep going with your business and you will be rewarded.

More lenses
Mount type
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Although the Pentax K-5 II and K-5 IIs have now been replaced by the Pentax K-3, we've analyzed the two models with a range of lenses from both Pentax and third-party makers and thought the results would be of interest to our readers. The information is available online but we taken the opportunity to offer a brief overview of the best performing models. Read on to see how well the lenses perform together on the two cameras.
Added by MJSfoto1956 | March 03, 2014
Sharpness chart data is wrong
You have listed this lens as having a "sharpness" rating of 10 Mpix on the primary tab. However, a quick analysis of this chart reveals that the darkest green is no more than an 8.5 on the scale you provide. Further, this lens' sharpness data differs dramatically from other Pentax Limited lenses on the K-3 body, leading me to assume that this particular chart itself is in error.
Please correct this mistake, for it casts a shadow on the overall accuracy of your data.

true but
Based on what ive read lenses with stabilization built in tend to be more effective though. I took a photo with my friends canon 7d 70-200mm F2.8 II lens in a dim lit office and was shocked that a photo came out sharp hand held at 1/6 sec shutter speed.

Thanks for your feedback, but stabilization is not included in our parameter test.

Pentax D FA MACRO 100mm F2.8 WR/Cannon EF 100mm F2.8 L IS Usm
Just had to comment on this comparison. I have the Pentax . I read many reviews about the lens, many commenting about how expensive it is. However, in comparing this lens to the Cannon, one fact seems clear: it compares quite favourably. But two factors clearly favor the Pentax: firstly, the pentax barrel is constructed of high quality aluminium, while the Cannon is plastic. Good plastic, but plastic. Secondly, the Pentax can be purchased for around $650.00; the Cannon cost nearly $1000.00. Much of the difference in price can be explained by the fact that the Cannon has the USM nearly silent focus motor, while the Pentax is screw drive. Furthermore, the Cannon lens has image stabilization built in, while the Pentax IS is built into the camera, essentially making IS available for every lens attached to the Pentax body. But the bottom line is that the performance of both lenses is quite similar, but the Pentax cost about $350.00 less. Just an observation.

Lifestyle changes can help you control and prevent high blood pressure, even if you're taking blood pressure medication. Here's what you can do:
Decrease the salt in your diet. A lower sodium level — 1,500 milligrams (mg) a day — is appropriate for people 51 years of age or older, and individuals of any age who are African-American or who have hypertension, diabetes or chronic kidney disease.
Otherwise healthy people can aim for 2,300 mg a day or less. While you can reduce the amount of salt you eat by putting down the saltshaker, you should also pay attention to the amount of salt that's in the processed foods you eat, such as canned soups or frozen dinners.
Monitor your blood pressure at home. Home blood pressure monitoring can help you keep closer tabs on your blood pressure, show if medication is working, and even alert you and your doctor to potential complications.
If your blood pressure is under control, you may be able to make fewer visits to your doctor if you monitor your blood pressure at home.
Practice relaxation or slow, deep breathing. Practice taking deep, slow breaths to help relax. There are some devices available that can help guide your breathing for relaxation. However, it's questionable whether these devices have a significant effect on lowering your blood pressure.

Inpatient and Outpatient Registration Procedures
Your registration process may include a contact with the Hospital's pre-registration office. If you have any scheduling conflicts, please call our pre-registration and scheduling office, 573-331-6351 or toll-free at 1-877-399-7123, between 7:30 am and 6:30 pm Monday-Friday.
When you register at the Hospital, a plastic identification bracelet will be placed on your arm. Please do not remove it. This bracelet serves as your identification throughout your stay.
During your hospitalization, you will be asked to provide information and sign forms which authorize Southeast to provide the treatment your physician has requested and to assign insurance benefits to the Hospital.
Registration forms should be signed by the person responsible for your bill. (For more information, please refer to the section about billing elsewhere in this booklet.)
If you are a beneficiary of the Medicare, Champus or Champ VA programs, please read the "important message from Medicare/Champus" provided to you upon registration.
Explanation of Hospital Costs and Insurance Coverage
Southeast Hospital will make every effort to help you understand the cost of your Hospital services and the coverage of those services by your insurance to the extent possible.
Before or during your registration, you may discuss these matters with a representative of our Patient Accounts Department who will provide you with the approximate cost of the services you are going to receive. This process can sometimes take a few minutes, so it is advisable to do this in advance of your scheduled service.
If you have questions concerning your insurance coverage, we suggest you contact your employer or insurance agent, depending on how your insurance is provided to you. These are the best sources of information about covered services, deductibles, and any co-payment requirements.
Patient Valuables
We strongly encourage you to leave anything which you consider valuable at home or send your personal valuables home with a family member as soon as possible after admission. Examples of personal valuables include (but are not limited too): jewelry (watches, rings, bracelet, necklace, etc.), cash, ATM/debit/credit cards, checkbook, clothing, etc. The Hospital will not be responsible for the loss or damage to any personal valuables while you are a patient.
If you are not able to send your personal valuables home with a family member, those items can be secured in the Hospital's safe in the Patient Registration Department.
Lost and found items are kept in the Cashier's Office on the first floor near the Lobby. If you lose something, check there to see if has been found.
Most medical insurance companies require that scheduled inpatient procedures, and some outpatient services, be authorized in advance. Many also require timely notification of urgent and emergency admissions as well. This pre-certification process is the responsibility of the patient or the patient's family.
Failure to pre-certify may result in reduction of benefits or non-payment by the insurance carrier.
Information about your individual insurance pre-certification requirements may be found on your insurance card, or by calling your insurance carrier, agent, or your employer.
If pre-certification is required by your policy, you should make this contact as soon as an elective procedure is scheduled and within 24 hours, including evening and weekend hours, of an emergency or urgent admission.
For more information about the pre-certification process, feel free to contact the Hospital's Case Management Department at 573-651-5831 between 8 am and 4:30 pm Monday–Friday.
Pre-Surgery Testing
If your next hospital surgical visit is planned in advance, take advantage of our convenient pre-surgery testing program through which your physician can schedule necessary tests prior to the date of your surgery.
On the scheduled pre-surgery testing day, you will report to Pre-Admission Testing & Surgery Registration located near the Emergency Department. During the pre-surgery testing visit, you will complete admission forms, receive special instructions about your surgery and a nurse will tell you the time that you should arrive at the Hospital on your surgical date.

IPO Underpricing and International Corporate Governance
2010, Journal of International Business Studies
Thomas J. Boulton, Scott B. Smart, Chad J. Zutter
That a link exists between a country's legal system and the size, liquidity, and value of its capital markets is well established. We study how differences in country-level governance impact the underpricing of initial public offerings (IPOs). Examining 4,462 IPOs across 29 countries from 2000-2004, we find the surprising result that underpricing is higher in countries with corporate governance that strengthens the position of investors relative to insiders. We conjecture that when countries give outsiders more influence, IPO issuers underprice more to generate excess demand for the offer, which in turn leads to greater ownership dispersion and reduces outsiders' incentives to monitor the behavior of corporate insiders. In other words, underpricing is a cost that insiders pay to maintain control in countries with legal systems designed to empower outsiders. Consistent with this control motivation for underpricing, we find that underpricing has a negative association with post-IPO outside blockholdings and a positive association with private control benefits. In addition, firms whose insiders are entrenched either by majority ownership or dual-class structures do not underprice more in countries with better governance. In these firms, the ownership structure protects managers from outside influence, eliminating the incentive to increase outside ownership dispersion through underpricing.
Boulton, Thomas J., Scott B. Smart, and Chad J. Zutter (2010), "IPO Underpricing and International Corporate Governance," Journal of International Business Studies, Vol. 41, No. 2, February/March, pp. 206-222.

RIVAL CONCERT PROMOTERS BIDDING FOR BOWIE GIG Two of the biggest concert promoters on the planet are posturing to persuade "Space Oddity" singer David Bowie to return to the concert stage for the first time in over eight years. According to Britain's Daily Mirror, concert giants Live Nation and AEG have offered the 66-year old Rock and Roll Hall of Famer millions to stage a massive concert at London's Olympic Park or the city's Hyde Park, respectively, in 2014. However, a rep for Bowie has stated, "There are currently no plans for any live dates."
STEWART ROLLS OUT RARITIES ON NEW TWO-CD SET Two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Rod Stewart will deliver a treasure trove of obscure tracks on the forthcoming aptly titled two-disc collection, Rarities, available today via Universal Music. A highlight of the Soccer Rocker's upcoming set of selections is a rowdy rendition of his signature song "Maggie May" featuring fellow former Faces bandmate Ronnie Wood recorded on BBC Radio One. Stewart's next slate of North American live shows gets underway October 19 in Atlanta.
NUGENT'S WIFE ARRESTED TRYING TO BOARD PLANE WITH LOADED GUN Fanatical gun rights advocate Ted Nugent's wife, Shemane, was arrested last week after authorities found a loaded .38 caliber revolver and extra ammunition in her carry-on baggage at Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport. The attorney representing "Terrible Ted's" wife described the incident as an "honest mistake," adding that Mrs. Nugent "completely forgot or never knew the weapon was in her bag."
THE CLASH'S JONES DONE WITH ASSEMBLING REISSUES As far as The Clash guitarist Mick Jones is concerned, the band's massive 13-disc box set, Sound System, will be the final reissue he'll have a hand in putting together. He told Rolling Stone, "I'm not even thinking about any more Clash releases. This is it for me, and I say that with an exclamation point." Asked why the band never regrouped after breaking up, Jones said, "We were never in agreement. That's why we never got together in the first place. Most importantly for us, we became friends again after the group broke up, and continued that way for the rest of the time. That was more important to us than the band."
SIR ELTON, OZZY'S WIFE SHARE DIRTY LITTLE SECRET Most rock fans know that Sharon Osbourne, wife of Black Sabbath frontman, Ozzy, has a very dirty mouth and mind, but some might be surprised to learn Sir Elton John shares Sharon's penchant for being naughty. Sharon recently revealed John sends her links to dirty websites, telling UK television, "He sent me this thing and it's a Brazilian farting website. And there's this one lady, she's…voluptuous! And she's farting up a storm and there is this other lady who's very tiny with her nose – she's got a big nose, and it's right up this other woman's bum. He's filthy!"
PEARL JAM SHEDS LIGHT ON LIGHTNING BOLT TRACKLIST Fans of Pearl Jam got a Labor Day weekend surprise Saturday when the Seattle stalwarts shared the complete tracklist for their forthcoming album, Lightning Bolt, available October 15. In order, the 12 songs include "Getaway," the first single "Mind Your Manners," "My Father's Son," "Sirens," "Lightning Bold," "Infallible," "Pendulum," "Swallowed Whole," "Let the Records Play," "Sleeping By Myself," "Yellow Moon" and "Future Days." The band kicks off a North American tour October 11 in Pittsburgh, and wraps December 6 in Seattle.
NIGHT RANGER READIES 2014 ALBUM RELEASE Eighties hitmakers Night Ranger are "about 12 songs into a new album," according to singer and main songwriter Jack Blades, who told Billboard, "We don't feel we're there yet. We were going to release a record in the fall but we pushed it off to the spring of next year so we could get back in (to the studio) and write about seven or eight more songs…" Blades added that the songs they have so far are "pretty rockin'. There's a lot of slamming stuff."
LOVERBOY LOOKING TO ASSEMBLE SONGS FOR NEW ALBUM Canadian rockers Loverboy released their latest album, Rock 'n' Roll Revival, in August 2012, and according to lead singer Mike Reno, the group has gathered 16 songs so far for their next set of songs – some of which were discovered sitting the their vaults. Reno told Billboard, "The last couple of years we took all of our two-inch tapes, from the very beginning, and loaded them to the digital format. Half of them are already recorded, maybe semi-mixed; they got lost in the shuffle back then or had to be cut… It's the kind of stuff that, if you like 'Workin' For the Weekend' and 'Turn Me Loose,' you're gonna love some of this s***."

Vegetarian Starter Kit
What type of diet is best for disease prevention and to maintain a healthy weight? The best diet is one that you can stick with for life. A healthy diet is a lifestyle, not a fad that is dangerous or difficult to maintain.
Abundant evidence suggests that the most healthful diets set aside animal products and also reduce fats in general, while including large amounts of vegetables and fruits. Eliminating meat and dairy products from your diet is a powerful step in disease prevention.

Expecting Aqua di Parma Colonia in the coming week.
Thread: Today i bought (December 2007)
I just ordered a bottle of L'Atelier Boheme's Fil de Soie from Luckyscent.
Expecting Aqua di Parma Colonia in the coming week.
Well, I didn't officially 'buy' these, but they arrived in the mail today - a Xrissy gift from a dear friend who works at C&S in Jermyn ST, London!
They certainly made a great start to my December!
Its the first time Ive smelled the C&S fragrances, - last night I sampled the No.88 and at first thought I felt as though I had stepped into an Indian emporium, with the smell of thick incense and turkish delight! As it developed, it turned into delicious "pink musk lollies", a fave smell of mine from my childhood!
Today I will sample the Cuba, which promises to be as fab as No.88.

Nice! I got C&S no.88 a month ago and I love it!
The Cuba sounds good too!
Last week I got Carthusia Numero Uno for my birthday and now I wanna try the Uomo.
Does it ever stop,
Kiatbkk, I know 100mls of C&S dont come cheap... I really like the No.88, but have just put the Cuba on the swap board in the marketplace. Its not entirely to my taste.
Im sure it may make a special BN'er (someone who can fully appreciate it, and wear it with pride) very happy.
Don't wanna sound like a copycat fragrance stalker psycho, but it looks like we share some simmilar taste in fragrance .
I mean, Carthusia, C&S no.88, Acqua di Parma intensa. Maybe it sets my mind off the Cuba for a while knowing it's not for me also.
Still, I wanna sample it.
I send a mail to C&S a few weeks ago for a sample of Cuba, but they said they were out of samples. (tell me, why do I doubt that, every time a company says that)
So, the Cuba is bit too flowery? then it's not for me.

Hi Eric, indeed we do share a few similar scents It would be interesting to also compare complexion, background, hair/eye colour and lifestyles etc, just to see if our choices are determined perhaps by something greater than just our noses!
I'll set your mind at ease and tell you that C&S do not have samples.
My best friend from college works at C&S H.O. as Art Director and i have been begging her for a few samples for approximately 9 months. She told me they had none. I have been nagging for a decant or at least a spritz on a paper tissue, and I assume this is why (after more than 6 months) the 2 full-size bottles appeared on my doorstep today!
I would suggest you try it, as the feedback in the review section is overwhelmingly positive. Unfortunately for me, although I don't dislike "Cuba", I simply dont want to smell of it. The tobacco accord is a little too astringent for my liking.

Dimitri, what a great gift!
Today I bought, from fellow basenoters, Live Jazz (my quest is to own all of the YSL men's line, apparently), Diptyque's Eau de Lierre, and Aoud Lime. And just when I told myself to hold off on new acquisitions! Good prices, though.
Yesterday I bought a 3.4 back up bottle of Musc Ravageur from a fellow basnoter and I have a bottle of Guerlain's Heritage edp on the way.
250 ml TDC Rose Poivree + 100 ml AOS Sandalwood

Just ordered another bottle of Worth PH (current bottle getting low). This one is the kid brother of Paco Rabanne. Very similar notes but on a much quieter level. And very affordable. An unsung hero.
85 mls of Fifi Chachnil in the pretty pink bottle...this scent has entirely captivated me. It's feminine in the extreme, with a bit of snap to it. Sort of like Tabac Blond in reverse? Tabac Blond is leather and high heel boots, Fifi is pale pink chiffon ....with stilettos and a garter belt. Why am I relating the two? Is it the leather notes that are dominant in Tabac Blond, more subtle in the Fifi, but decidedly present? And the way they make me feel.

"Like a lobster with a pearl in its claw, the beet held the jasmine firmly without crushing or obscuring it. Beet lifted jasmine, the way a bullnecked partner lifts a ballerina, and the pair came on stage on citron's fluty cue. As if jasmine were a collection of beautiful paintings, beet hung it in the galleries of the nose, insured it against fire or theft, threw a party to celebrate it. Citron mailed the invitations."

In the mail....Sables 100ML. AG.... Santos concentrate 100ML Cartier. I am thinking about Ambre Precieus100ML. MPG. Still undecided.
OK, so these were there when I got to the office today. The Ambre Précieux is just as rich and voluptuous as I remember it from a long time ago. And the Carthusia Numero Uno deserves high praise. It's a beautiful, dense green chypre that I think is going to become one of my favorites. Very typical chypre, and very green in a totally masculine way. I don't think too many women would go for this one!
After work, I had occasion to go downtown and ended up at Barney's. They had the Nasomatto Duro I had been waiting for, so I got that. The SA also showed me a perfume oil by Regina Harris, New York. There were two of them, but the one I instantly clicked with was one called Frankincense Myrrh Rose Maroc. So naturally, I popped for that one too. It's half an ounce (15 ml.) for USD 125, and it comes in an amber-brown bottle. The other one was in a blue bottle; that one is called Amber Vanilla, and made less of an impression on me. They had exactly three of each. They had gotten in six of the Nasomatto Duro, and I snagged the last one.

2 x 25ml purse sprays of Agent Provocateur ... gifts for a few women in my life
Astonishingly, they are a new release at our supermarket chain here in Denmark. ($38USD each).
Yesterday, I picked up a bottle of Hermès Eau des Merveilles. For the longest time, I haven't been able to decide if I liked this or the Elixir des Merveilles better. To complicate matters further, Hermès now has a third in the series, Parfum des Merveilles. I decided I might end up getting all three, so I started with the weakest; thus, if I go further, I can go from strength to strength, as the saying goes...

30 ml of blue stratos aftershave splash for £3.95. I haven't smelled this for about 30 years. It was the first fragrance I was obsessed with (along with old spice).

Kouros...if I have ever had a true signature scent, it was Kouros in the 80's. It's a timeless scent that I should never be without.
I bought a new bottle for $35. This is not a widely discounted scent. It is almost impossible to find a 1.6 OZ for less than $30. That's kind of strange for a scent that's been around that long.

Two weeks ago, Pride of Kinston Executive Director Adrian King stood before the Kinston City Council and called The Platinum Club "an eyesore in the heart of our downtown."
Club owner Tharol Branch stood before the same city leaders Monday, and turned King's statements back at him.
"Mr. King is the eyesore for downtown," Branch said.
Branch blasted King for financial mismanagement, including bringing up an issue King had with the Internal Revenue Service earlier this year over personal income taxes he owed.
He said King could not "go before the whole wild world and lie and blame," and expect him to not respond.
Branch said he has supported the city through his utility bill payments, employed people, and even purchased homes on the east side of Kinston, where he said no other investment has taken place.
At least eight people, including Branch's friends, employees and family members, spoke in support of the Platinum Club.
David Bell of the IndyLeft PAC accused city officials of working to "strategically destroy" black-owned businesses in downtown Kinston, and pledging support to enterprises which glorify the Confederacy, and businesses slated to go across from the Platinum Club such as the currently under-construction Asian bistro and gourmet burger and oyster bar in the Harvey-Brody building.
"This is about everyone else having fun downtown but not us," he said of black people.
Bell also blasted Mayor B.J. Murphy for not keeping campaign promises to lower electric bills, and for reaching out to black voters, yet also speaking during a rally for Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan — Murphy is a Republican, but was able to swing enough crossover Democratic and unaffiliated votes to win a three-way race for mayor in 2009.
"Please do not walk through the 'hood, shaking people's hands trying to mislead them when you're speaking at the Paul Ryan rally," Bell told Murphy.
Several men who work as security personnel at the club spoke in support of Branch.
Gary Griffin said his job has helped keep him away from a life of crime and drugs. He stressed the club is safe and encouraged council members to visit.
"If any one of you all were to come to our club you would thoroughly enjoy yourselves, I know you would," he said.
Justin Howard called Branch "the best man I've ever known," and gave him work when he could not find a job anywhere else.
Tyshun Wilson, a Kinston minister who previously ran a business next door to the Platinum Club, said Branch had given him financial support in the past.
Wilson said, as a minister, he did not condone the club lifestyle, but supported Branch as a businessman.
"I am strictly for God's business, but I do not think it's right that you are trying to close a young man's business down," he said.
King, who could not be seen at Monday's meeting, asked council members two weeks ago to look into a legal means of closing the club down. The club is often blamed for violent incidents that have happened near it in recent years.
The city does not have the statutory authority to close the club, though. City Manager Tony Sears said at the time he and Public Safety Director Bill Johnson planned to speak to the District Attorney's office and see what options the city had.
The city manager said Tuesday the city has not yet contacted the DA, and "we're still assessing the situation."
Branch leases the former Paramount Theater for the club. The building is owned by the late Ted Sampley's son and daughter, Lane and Wendy Sampley.
An eviction notice was posted on the door following the council meeting two weeks ago, but Branch said Tuesday he is working with the owners to purchase the building.
He said the club remains open for business.
Mayor pro tem Joe Tyson stressed Monday that city officials and the City Council "have taken no action" to close the club.
"We appreciate your concern and we are listening," he told audience members.

I like this lotion very much. It has a very pleasing scent, not too overwhelming. I do a lot of deep tissue work, and I find this lotion to work well for it (don't use too much). It does leave a somewhat "greasy" feeling on your hands, but washes off easily. Overall a nice product.
I've been using Bon Vital for 9 years. I love their products. This one is great for the work I'm doing.
This is a thick lotion, almost the consistency of a cream, which is exactly what I was looking for. It has a smooth glide and works really well for deep tissue work. The peppermint eucalyptus scent is great, pleasant but not overpowering.
I like this product, but I thought it was going to have a warming agent in it or something that would help my clients muscles relax more, but it does not. It works like other lotions, but I think the "Muscle Therapy" part of it is all in the scent, which I like. I'm a little disappointed it doesn't do more, but I still like it.
I've been a Massage Therapist for nearly 8 years. I mostly do Trigger Point work. I have tried many, many, many different lotions and creams. Oil is just messy, stains, and smells really funky if you don't wash your sheets right away. I finally came across the Bon Vital' lotion for muscle therapy. I love it. It has just enough, but not too much, glide. Able to hold my position on a trigger point without sliding off. But this product can also be used for Swedish massage. There is a slight pine smell which many clients like. I have scent allergies and this is one product that I can tolerate. Also, no greasy, sticky residue feeling afterwards.

Tesh's strike just 15 seconds into OT gives Men's Soccer a 3-2 win at Brevard
August 30, 2009
BREVARD, N.C. - Boo Tesh scored just 15 seconds into overtime leading the Pfeiffer Falcons over the Brevard Tornados in men's soccer action on Sunday afternoon. After warming up in a torrential downpour, both team played a hard fought game in the mud with the Falcons coming out on top in the end 3-2. Pfeiffer stays unbeaten on the early season at 2-0 while Brevard drops to 0-2.
Trailing 2-1 with just over six minutes left in regulation, Kash Knight struck for his third goal of the season to square the contest at two and eventually send the match in extra time. Alex Landim would then assist on Kash's game-winner in OT. Pfeiffer scored their first goal 36:42 into the game when Landim took a pass from Wilver Menacho and found the back of the net putting the Falcons up one. That 1-0 lead would stay until the 63rd minute when Ian Townson and the Tornados responded on a penalty kick. The Tornados had worked the ball into Townson in the box when Pfeiffer was called for a foul. Townson took the penalty kick and booted it out of Alex Moreno's reach to knot the game at 1-1.
Fourteen minutes later, the Tornados took the lead on freshman Chris Landvik-Larsen's second goal of the season. Jonathan deCock secured his first assist of the season on the play. Shaw stopped three of the six shots he faced while Moreno saved two of four. The Falcons next match will be their home opener on Friday afternoon against UNC-Pembroke. Game time is set for 4:00 p.m.

A friend I worked with had the Cubano variety pack. I smelled this on him and said "man, my girlfriend would love this!" He told me he had purchased the variety pack by cuba and that he had Cubano Silver on, he told me they were all very good. Trust me, if you have never tried this stuff buy it, this one of the few sites that carries it.

Zonealarm - is it a spyware/malware?
by Izibia - 2/16/13 2:35 PM
The heading is not meant to be 100% serious ... but there are some suspicious indications:
1) During a net traffic the Zonealarm's service "TrueVector Internet Monitor" (vsmon.exe) loads the processor even if all functionalities of Zonealarm are turned off.
Details: this post at zonealarm forums
2) Nobody wants to explain the case at Zonealarm forums: the related thread (link above) was closed with a senseless explanation.
