MSU wary of new UIW
Mustangs look to keep lead against upgraded Cardinals
The Midwestern State Mustangs and Incarnate Word have played each of the three seasons since the inception of the Cardinals' program in 2009.
The Mustangs have won each of the previous encounters, but head coach Bill Maskill still is concerned about tonight's 7 p.m. kickoff.
That's because he remembers UIW taking the favored Mustangs to overtime in the 2010 game in Wichita Falls.
The No. 14 Mustangs (2-1, 2-1) will welcome the Cardinals (1-3, 0-2) to Joe Golding Field in Memorial Stadium for the final time in a Lone Star Conference game.
UIW is moving up to Division I FCS and will become a member of the Southland Conference.
"They've got a new head coach and they've upgraded their talent," Maskill said. "Their scheme on offense presents a problem. They'll run power with one or two backs. It's a smashmouth mentality and we don't see it a lot.
"They're traditionally a time-of-possession type of team (averaging 32 minutes), and they're going to hold onto the ball. If we don't hit the gaps right, there's a crease and it can be a problem."
The beneficiary of those creases is usually running back Trent Rios, a senior who has been the Cardinals' leading rusher the last three seasons and eclipsed the 2,000-yard mark for his career two weeks ago.
He has rushed for 237 yards and two touchdowns.
Quarterback Zach Rhodes joined him as a 100-yard back two weeks ago, but suffered an injury. Freshman Taylor Woods played last week and was sacked eight times. Rhodes has been given the green light to play against MSU.
Woods is 45-57-3 passing for 509 yards and three touchdowns, while running for 111 more.
"They have two good new receivers (Kent Hadnot and Brandon Yates) that are tall and can go up and get it," Maskill said. "And they're both better than what they've had.
"A lot of the linemen have been there. They're all the names we have seen in the past."
Tight end Andrew Macio leads the receivers with 13 catches for 71 yards, while Rios has 11 catches for 114 yards and a score and Dominic Hamilton has eight for 123 and a score.
UIW is averaging 256.8 yards a game on offense (83.2 rushing and 173.5 passing), while giving up 368.5 (203 rushing and 165.5 passing.
Top players for the Cardinals on defense are linebackers Dakota Mawyer (26 tackles) and Juan Asencio (25 tackles, a sack) and safety Devin Haywood (25 tackles).
Haywood led the team last year with seven interceptions, but doesn't have one this season.
"With us rushing for 400 yards last week, you have to assume they are going to pack the box," Maskill said. "When they do that we have to take advantage of that in the passing game. And we can't turn the ball over."
The Mustangs are averaging 496.3 yards of offense a game with 314.3 rushing and 182 passing.
Defensively MSU is giving up 369 yards, 121.3 rushing and 247.7 passing.
"We have to get turnovers (MSU is averaging 3.3 a game) and when we do, we have to take advantage of them," Maskill said. "We can't give up big plays and we need to get them in second- and third-and-longs so they have to pass."

Stars' memorable mommy moments
Mother's Day is just around the corner so to pay homage to our first "teachers" about life and love, I asked some celebs what particular memory/moment with their moms had left a lasting impact on them. It's been 10 years since my mom passed away but thoughts of her seem so real that I can almost still hear her raspy voice cheering me on. I will never forget when I asked her in jest, "Ma, please autograph your picture for me." She wrote this: "Thank you for being the best part of Inday Badiday."
I should be the one to thank my superwoMom for being the gift that I was born with. Everyone else in our lives is replaceable except our moms. We can never be too old nor too successful to need some mothering every now and then.
Boots Anson-Roa: My late mom, Chemistry professor Belen Cristobal-Anson, was a "cool" lola, as what her grandchildren call her. She was a "cool" mom, too, in contrast to my dad, the late 1950s actor Oscar Moreno, who was strict and conservative. He would not allow me to go to mixed parties even when I was already a sophomore at the University of the Philippines, not even to our Euthenics monthly socials—in which attendance and participation were graded. At my mom's instance, every time there was such an event, she and I would make "takas" and pretend we were going to the movies. We had our semiformal party clothes already tucked in the car. Then we would go to her sister Leonie's place to change attire and then proceeded together to the ball with my cousin Lani and her own mom in tow. Then we changed back to our casual clothes before heading home. Happily, my dad never caught us until we finished the two-semester subject. In hindsight, it was always a "thrilling" experience. Lesson learned: As parents, let us find reason for imposing rules to our children and explain said rules, lest they do things behind our backs.
Dingdong Dantes: Every time we have our weekly family gathering my mom cooks for the whole family. She would always lovingly prepare all our meals
while we, her children, were growing up. I guess the secret ingredient of her extraordinary dishes was more than enough for our bodies and spirits to grow and become who we are now.
Amy Perez: When I was 15, I could not understand why my mom required me and my siblings to clean our room and wash the dishes after we eat. Now I realize that she was preparing me for the time when I will have my own family already. I will forever be grateful to my mom for teaching me all the things I need to know. If not for her, I will not be this kind of mother to my boys.
Jackielou Blanco: When I was heartbroken and I was crying like crazy, my mom (singer Pilita Corrales) held my hand and said, "Jackie, I know it's painful and it's not easy but remember that tomorrow is another day. The sun will shine and you must be there to welcome it. If it's not such a good day, I'll be there with you to help you get through it." I will never forget that moment. That truth has kept me going through all the downs in my life. I always remind myself that no matter what each tomorrow
brings, I'll always want to greet it. Those words of my mom always kept me strong, knowing that she's there for me no matter what.
John Arcilla: My mom was our first storyteller. We had books of Hans Christian Andersen, Grimm's Fairy Tales and Aesop's fables. She read with feelings. She played with each word with wit and full of rhetorics. My siblings and I would laugh, giggle and cry because of her special way of reading. I could even imagine the feelings of the characters in the stories she was reading to us. My mom was my first performer. Her story-telling skill fascinated me at a young age. That experience influenced me to get into the arts and develop my passion for acting in theater, TV and movies. That formative experience transformed me into what I am now.
Christian Bautista: My mom would remind me that no matter how busy I was, I should always find time for home and the family.

Customer Reviews
Blast of flavor? No!Review by Matthewon 4/23/12This has a nice cool , somewhat sweet but flat flavor that can be hardy tasted by a 1.5 ohm dcc. Get a 2 or 2.5 ohm atty for this stuff if you want some flavor..... or just stay away in general. Not a punch you in the face flavor either way.
Way too sweetReview by Richardon 3/10/122/5-- Flavor is really strong. Almost too sweet to vape. I drip it from time to time, but I wouldn't even think of carrying it around with me.
Tastes a lot like the Mauna Dew flavor.
Best when dripped imoReview by Kahaluuboy on 2/28/12This thing rocks when dripping using the inferno LR atty, but for some reason it isnt as.great in the 1.5 dcc tube tank on a inferno USB passthru battery. What's even more surprising is when I use it in Mega clearomizer it's tastes idk how.to describe it besides weak. Too me, mega clearos provides the best taste, right under dripping. I added a little bit methol burst to the clearo then it was cherry. Maybe the 2nd refill of the clearo will be better as some people claim they need a little time to."break in"
Not BadReview by Clifon 2/27/12I got this for an everyday smoke and after about the 3rd day, it started burning when I hit. Has good flavor, but not an everyday juice.
NiceReview by Sherrion 2/9/12To much blueberry and not enough punch for me. I was looking for a more rounded flavor, but this one fell short.
AwesomeReview by henry on 2/7/12Smooth, great vapor production, good throat hit on the 24 mg, Awesome flavor. Definitely my new favorite. Filled both my Tube Tanks with this and love it.
Love itReview by James on 2/4/12This flavor is very sweet. Nice vape and not harsh. Smooth going down and is a vape you can use all day long.
Love this flavorReview by Dominickon 2/2/12This was my first flavored nicotine product and can I say "Good Lord is this good"!!! I've got tobacco pure which ehh, shaka strawberry which is gross, bonzai banana which rocks, and waikiki watermelon which also rocks. I would highly recommend this one to anyone new to flavored ecigs.
Fruit punch goodnessReview by Ericon 1/31/12This was my first volcano flavor, and ran through it quickly. I like to think of the flavor as a blue fruit punch italian ice. It contrasts regular fruit punch by being more sharp and tart. Very good, and if you like sweets, this one should be perfect. I have about a dozen flavors now and none of the sweet flavors are as good as this one.
AwesomeReview by Ed (RIVapor)on 1/30/12I ordered a Lavatube and I grabbed a bottle of this stuff to try since it had many reviews. This has become my new all day vape. I ordered mine in 16 mg strength and the flavor, vapor, and throat hit are amazing. There are many reviews for a reason. This could be Volcano's signature juice. Give it a try, I'm loving it!

Hanson holds off charge by Mickelson at Masters
AUGUSTA, Ga. Phil Mickelson set off roars at Augusta National with a 20-foot eagle putt for a share of the lead, and an amazing flop shot behind the 15th green that only he would dare try.
Peter Hanson answered with four birdies on his last five holes, claiming some of those cheers for himself and taking the outright lead Saturday in the Masters with a 7-under 65, the lowest score of the tournament.
What a finish - and it's all just beginning.
"Fortune favors the brave at times here," Padraig Harrington said.
"When you're leading a tournament, that's not the type of golf course you want to be on," he added. "You want to be on probably a boring golf course - which this ain't."
That much was evident on a day filled with cheers from every corner, a prelude for a final round that would figure to favor Mickelson.
Hanson, a 34-year-old Swede playing in only his second Masters, has never been closer than seven shots of the leaders in his previous 17 majors. He goes into Sunday with a one-shot lead over Mickelson, who already has three green jackets.
Hanson passed his first test.
He was walking up the 14th fairway when he heard a commotion that shook Augusta. He knew what it was without looking - Mickelson draining an eagle putt on the 13th hole, raising the putter with his right arm and slamming down his left fist to celebrate along with 15,000 of his best friends.
"I'm standing in the middle of the fairway and I feel him breathing down my neck a little bit," Hanson said.
Hanson followed with an approach into 2 feet for birdie, a 15-foot putt from the fringe on the 15th, a 30-foot birdie putt over the ridge on the 17th and one last birdie at the 18th with a shot that stopped inside 3 feet from the cup.
He was at 9-under 207.
"I've been watching this tournament since I was a young kid, and seeing Freddie Couples and the guys go and shoot 30 and 31 on the back nine is something you just dream about," Hanson said.
Mickelson shot 30 on the back and signed for a 66, putting him in the final group at the Masters for the fourth time in the last nine years. Lefty won the last three times he was in that spot.
"I love it here, and I love nothing more than being in the last group on Sunday at the Masters," Mickelson said. "It's the great thing in professional golf."
Mickelson gave the leaderboard some star power when so many others faded or, in the case of Tiger Woods, never came close to getting there. Woods now has gone 26 consecutive holes on the back nine at Augusta without a birdie. He had to settle for a 72 and was 12 shots behind, his largest 54-hole deficit ever at the Masters.

Philippine president Aquino to visit Japan as China tensions mount
Published on Jun 18, 2014 11:28 AM
MANILA (AFP) - Philippine President Benigno Aquino will visit Japan next week, with the row over China's territorial ambitions likely on the agenda, his office said on Wednesday.
Mr Aquino will meet Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe during the one-day trip on June 24, in another move to deepen ties as the two nations have endured increasingly hostile disputes with China over rival maritime territorial claims.
The tensions will "likely" be a topic of discussion when the leaders meet, Mr Aquino's spokesman Abigail Valte told AFP, although she did not want to give further details until an official agenda was determined.
In a statement announcing the trip on Tuesday evening, the Philippine foreign ministry also indicated the China tensions would be discussed, while referring to a "strategic partnership" between the two nations.

It's really not in the same league with the old new FAW, if that's what you're thinking. It's a good skill on a science ship, but I'm not sure I'd want it on anything that can do serious damage.
It works on science ships because they don't have enough energy weapons to beat down shield the normal way anyway, and they often run low weapon power with high Aux, so FAW doesn't work very well for them. But Torp Spread seems to do a little more damage against single targets while giving a bit of AOE damage.
FAW is still a far more effective AOE, but not every ship can use FAW effectively -- a 3-beam 3-torp Intrepid-R can still use Torp Spread. Combined with a shield stripper build it is pretty effective, but not monstrously so.
Part of what made FAW so bad is that all you needed was for most of a team to carry a copy or two of it. To make Torp Spread effective you need some other way to strip shields. A sci ship with CPB can do it, but CBP needs you to be in the middle of your enemies, while Torp Spread needs you to have them all in a 90° arc front or rear -- it's not impossible to do solo, but it takes set-up or teamwork.
It's not nearly the same problem as FAW.

Even though the knife market is continually dominated by huge brands like Kershaw, Buck, and Spyderco, smaller companies also make fantastic knives and offer personal touches that those larger companies simply can't. That's where the Parker River Knife Company comes in.
Parker River Knife Company's story began nearly 100 years ago along the banks of Parker River in Newbury, Mass. A restaurant and gift shop opened right on the water, but after many years it was converted into a marina. Once the owners decided to retire, Jim Bowes and his wife decided to take over the family business and write a new chapter in the family story.
Here's more about the start of the company from the Parker River site:
Drawing on years of experience working along the Parker River, we've designed a line of knives that are as beautiful as they are functional. The river has taught us to respect and love nature. Our products are designed to last a lifetime and to be cherished as much as we love this little river.
What really sets Parker River knives apart from some of the other knives you see on the market is just how much these knives look and feel like the same ones your granddad might have carried. This ensures the knife not only features a handsome design but also boasts a look you know will never go out of style.

The 23-year-old told Dutch newspaper BN/De Stem he was finding life on the sidelines difficult.
"Of course that is frustrating," said Rigters. "But there are some very good players before me and when the club wins four games in a row, you know that you still have to wait for a chance."
Rigters hopes to get his chance in the coming weeks and was encouraged by a recent chat with Blackburn boss Mark Hughes.
He said: "Hughes told me that I have simply been unlucky and that the other strikers are doing so well. So who knows? I might be playing games in a couple of weeks."
However, Rigters would like to move on if he does not get a starting berth soon.
He said: "If that is not the case, I want to see the club loan me out as soon as possible. But I am not thinking about that yet."

Kypros Kypri Earns Hazelden's Dan Anderson Research Award
CENTER CITY, Minn., Feb. 4 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Kypros Kypri, Ph.D., senior research fellow at the School of Medicine and Public Health at the University of Newcastle, Australia, has earned Hazelden's Dan Anderson Research Award for his development of a Web-based alcohol screening and brief intervention tool (e-SBI). Sponsored by the Butler Center for Research at Hazelden, the award honors a single published article by a researcher who has advanced the scientific knowledge of addiction treatment and recovery.

(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20061128/CGTU038LOGO)
Kypri earned the award for his study, "Randomized controlled trial of Web-based alcohol screening and brief intervention in primary care," published in a 2008 issued of the Archives of Internal Medicine (Vol. 168, pages 530-536). The study was a randomized controlled trial of Web-based alcohol screening and brief intervention among a large group of university students seeking medical help at a primary healthcare facility. The Web-based program is free and involves screening, assessment, personalized feedback about consumption levels compared with peers and medical guidelines.
"The aim of this program of work was to conduct rigorous trials of interventions that are acceptable to young hazardous drinkers and could be implemented sustainably," said Kypri. Johanna Dean, M.Sc., director and research psychologist at the research and evaluation company, Kypri & Dean Pty Ltd, nominated Dr. Kypri for the award, stating his work "exemplifies the innovation and commitment to reducing substance use problems that the Dan Anderson Award seeks to celebrate." She added, "e-SBI is less threatening to many non-treatment-seeking drinkers than a face-to-face intervention [making] it a promising approach to reducing unhealthy use of alcohol, particularly among young people who bear a heavy burden of alcohol-related harm."
Students seeking medical care at a university health center who screened positive for hazardous alcohol use were randomized to receive either e-SBI, offered on computer, or a pamphlet on the health consequences of heavy drinking. Those assigned to the e-SBI condition completed a variety of assessment questions after which they were immediately presented with personalized feedback related to their risk status and data comparing their consumption patterns with peers. The average length of completion time on the computer was nine minutes.
Six months later, those who received e-SBI reported a lower frequency of drinking, less total alcohol consumption, and fewer academic problems compared with those in the control group. At one year, e-SBI participants continued to report lower alcohol consumption and fewer academic problem behaviors relative to controls.
"Our Scientific Panel of Advisors was impressed at the tremendous potential of Dr. Kypri's electronic screening and brief intervention to reduce harmful drinking among young people before major problems begin," said Valerie Slaymaker, Ph.D., executive director of the Butler Center for Research at Hazelden. "His work illustrates how effective quick, confidential, and electronic screening and brief intervention can be to improve health and functioning."
Slaymaker noted that Dr. Kypri's research, and the research of others in the field, have contributed to Hazelden's ongoing development of online intervention tools.
Kypri will accept the award and a $2,000 honorarium on May 24, 2010 at the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers (NAATP) annual conference. The award is named for the late Dan Anderson, Ph.D., the former president of Hazelden and one of the major architects of the Minnesota Model, the interdisciplinary approach to addiction treatment that has been replicated worldwide.
Kypri's research was selected by the Scientific Panel of the Butler Center for Research as the best from among several outstanding candidates. The panel includes Slaymaker; Carlton Erickson, Ph.D., University of Texas-Austin; Lee Ann Kaskutas, Dr.PH, Alcohol Research Group, Emeryville, Calif.; James McKay, Ph.D., University of Pennsylvania; Stephanie O'Malley, Ph.D., Yale University; Jon Morgenstern, Ph.D., National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, New York; and Constance Weisner, Ph.D., University of California-San Francisco.
Past award winners include Marcus Heilig, M.D., Ph.D., National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism; William Fals-Stewart, Ph.D., University of Rochester, New York; Rudolph Moos, Ph.D., Department of Veterans Affairs, Palo Alto, Calif.; Reid K. Hester, Ph.D., of Behavior Therapy Associates in Albuquerque; Stephanie O'Malley, Ph.D., Yale University School of Medicine; Howard A. Liddle, Ed.D., University of Miami; Robert J. Meyers, Ph.D., University of New Mexico; Bankole Johnson, M.D., University of Texas Health Science Center; Henri Begleiter, Ph.D., State University of New York; Richard Longabaugh, Ed.D., Brown University; Dace Svikis, Ph.D., Johns Hopkins University; Michael Fiore, M.D., University of Wisconsin; and Stephen T. Higgins, Ph.D., University of Vermont.
Recognizing outstanding research and conducting research of its own are the primary objectives of the Butler Center for Research, the research arm of Hazelden.

It is beautiful (IMHO), but it's definitely a try-it-first kind of frag.
That syrupy, herbal immortelle thing either enchants you or repels you -- there's no middle ground here.
Thread: Annick Goutal Sables
So I was going to isolate myself in a room and do some studying for an exam I have tomorrow. On the way out of my room I thought isolation would be nicer if I had a scent on. I thought I should go for something I haven't tried, that way studying won't bore me to death, since every now and then I could stop and try to pick up the notes, experience the scent and generally get a feel of it. I was always reluctant to try Sables. Every time I sniff it out of the bottle I get a dominant curry smell which I don't find very pleasant. I got a little repelled by it every time. Then I thought there has to be more to this scent than what initially shows. I applied two sprays, and after exactly ten seconds I began to realize how wrong I have been. I can see this easily going to my favorite 10 fragrances.
The directory doesn't list the notes for Sables, but on my skin I can smell a dominant anise note, and I simply love it. There is one other note that I am certain that I know and have smelled before, but I can't name it just yet. Before, I thought Sables was quite eccentric, but now after experiencing it, I realize that Sable's eccentricity is beautiful.
And yes, I haven't studied a word.
Looking for a sample of Gucci Envy Me.

I fell in love with Sables the first time I saw/tried it in France, and I immediately bought a bottle on the spot.
Excellent sillage and longevity - a little goes a long way. Definitely one of my top 5 fragrances!
Composition: wild immortelle flowers, vanilla, Mysore sandalwood, Indonesian and Madagascan pepper

I don't think I have ever smelled anise specifically from Sables. But something about it reminds me of Christmas time, especially the baking that my mother and aunt used to do. My family is 100% Italian, so many different types of Italian cookies/cakes were made for the holidays. This included pizzelle and biscotti, both which use anise in the recipe. So you definitley may be getting that smell!
I always wear Sables on Christmas day because it brings back many fond memories for me.

Sables is definitely one of my top favorites. Very unsual fragrance..... I love wearing it in the winter with a big wool sweater.....makes me feel snuggly warm. I LOVE the way it smells two hours later....very masculine and sexy. I get more tobacco and leather from this than anise......I may be completely off but thats what it smells like to me.
If you like the anise note, try AG's Mandragore.....I found that one to have a stonger anise scent.
This is one of my favourites, although for some reason, they changed the formula. A friend of mine used to love this, but they now come out in a rash on their neck after spraying it on. I have no problems.
Fine fragrance is alive; it breathes, unfolds and unravels with each passing hour....
Roja Dove
The immortelle note - which smells like sweet pipe tobacco in it's packet - is the note that ultimately grabs my attention in Sables.
Sables is excellent, and definitely in my top 5. It's one of the few fragrances where I've literally swooned after first sniffing.
Currently digging: Le Labo Rose 31 and Oud oils.
It's a good fragrance, and difficult to find.
To my nose, Dior Eau Noire ripped off Sables, big time.
And both are good.
You know, I love Sables but there is something about the base notes that seem to last for days. I am not kidding, I have to be careful not to wear Sables on my wrist when I wear a leather watch band or it will magically take over my scent of the day even days later! It's sort of a burnt maple syrup kind of smell. I guess Immortelle is just potent stuff.
I've previously been on the verge of buying this one blind on ebay (seems to be the only source at the moment that I know of). Instead, I just put a sample in my "shopping cart" at TPC!
Yes, Mostapaha it's the immortelle flower note you're smelling. It smells quite different blended with other notes and on different people's skin. On me, it smells slightly like celery seed and honey...yet when I ask others to smell it on me they describe it as maple syrup-esque and smoky.
Sables is a little too much for me, though. I prefer Eau Noire by Christian Dior.
Looking for a sample of Gucci Envy Me.
I love Sables, too!
I get mainly the smoky, maple syrup smell that Mike mentioned that others smell on him. I get no celery seed at all. It doesn't seem very complex to me, but damn, it smells so good!
I think Immortelle is known in English as Everlasting. I'm not sure if that refers to the lifespan of the plant or flowers or to the smell.

Thanks for bringing up Sables on the agenda! I didn't forget it since my extensive wearings one year ago, but it was a negative comment from my mother (I won't repeat it here for not distracting you) that made me stop wearing it instantly. Ah, damn maternal authority!

I was inspired to wear it today. 70 degrees and humid. I sprayed it on at 8:00AM and it is still going strong at 10:00PM.
One of my all-time favs.
Yesterday a totally random questions jumped to my mind: Could AG Sables pass as unisex? I think yes. This is too eccentric to be listed as a male fragrance. I think a woman can easily pull it off and smell great.
Annick Goutal and her husband used to make holidays on Corsica and they loved the smell of maquis. As a reminiscence she created Sables!
Here you will find a Corsican singer who praises the maquis/macchia!
I've loved Sables since I first tried it in the early 80's. I'm glad that after a long time being difficult to find that it's back to being widely available
I don't know why I just keep passing Sables up for sampling. I'm beginnibg to realize I really enjoy "Immortelle" - L' homme Sage and Eau Noire are two that intoxicate me every time I wear them.
Both contain immortelle - Gotta go - it's time to order a sample of Sables.
"Wovon man nicht lesen kann, darüber muss man schreiben."
This frag seems to be very interesting....hmmmm??? What to do???
A great fragrance.
This was one of the best fragrances that BN drew my attention to, although I already knew most of the Annick Goutal line. It is a comfort scent for me, though for many people it probably smells too weird to be considered comforting.
Reading on the reviews here, the way this fragrance smells, it reminds me of certain fragrances such as Furmerie Turque, Peau d'Espange by Santa Maria Novella, Marquis de Sade which I all love. Will I love Sables?
It maybe less complex than 1740 Marquis de Sade but chances are you will love it. One of the best from Annick Goutal.
An excellent and unusual fragrance. I have sometimes thought of buying it, but I do realize I would wear it rarely.
Sables is a very unique fragrance. When I tried the new Amouage Fate man (which I love) for the first time, I immediately noticed something I have smelled before. It is the Immortelle, and my memory took me back to Sables. Sables was created in 85, but could easily have been one of the new releases from one of todays niche-houses.
One of my signature scents. Pretty unique, and a somptuous drydown... My preferred from Goutal. It's been a while since they released something as interesting. Their latest juices were really less adventurous imo.
Remember that while it is perfectly acceptable to criticize the content of a post - criticizing the poster is not.
Mean spirited, nasty, snide, sarcastic, hateful, and rude individuals on Basenotes don't warrant or deserve other individuals' acknowledgement or respect.
The only problem with Sables, is that whey you
wear it just before you have along car drive with your wife and children
and she asks you to rub it off, what to do then!!
Remember that while it is perfectly acceptable to criticize the content of a post - criticizing the poster is not.

Either way, wont work,
I always have to shower again, and apply a counter-part scent!

Kaseya delivers a complete, fast and secure live remote access and remote control solution even behind firewalls or from machines at home.
IT Professionals frequently need to access servers, workstations and mobile devices securely, quickly and without impacting the productivity of users. The Kaseya web-based, integrated IT management platform delivers a complete, fast and secure live remote access and remote control solution even behind firewalls or from machines at home. Stop using consumer oriented remote control tools that don't give you the security or integrated systems management features you need to operate in a professional IT environment.
A remote control solution for you and your users
Kaseya Remote Control enables technicians and administrators to remotely troubleshoot and manage their computers regardless of their location.
Remote Control enables the technician to take over the remote computer collaboratively with the end user. They can work collaboratively or the technician can work with full computing access as the currently logged in user. All operations are as if the technician were physically sitting in front of the computer.
Private Remote Sessions for Windows
Establish private Remote Control sessions for Windows so that administrators can work on servers or workstations without the end user visually seeing what is being done.
Every Session is Logged for Your Compliance Needs
Track and report on Remote Control sessions by admin, by machine, per month, week, day, etc., with a history of access for compliance purposes.
Shadow Support for Terminal Server Users
Shadow end user terminal server sessions to more easily identify and resolve user issues.
Know When There Is Latency on the Line
Show session latency stats during the remote control session so administrators are aware of the connection strength and its impact.
Supports Multiple Monitors on the Remote Endpoint
See every screen on the remote endpoint with zero configuration. You can even connect two or three times simultaneously and see them all at once.
Every Major Short-Cut Key In the Book
Support for over 100 different short-cut keys, insuring that you can work quickly and efficiently even when connected to remote endpoints.
Having technicians work on machines remotely can substantially improve IT efficiency. Kaseya provides the unique ability to completely control and audit all clients for issue resolution, reporting, ticket closure and compliance.
Using a remote desktop access solution can be the ultimate savior for a technician to remediate an issue, but it doesn't eliminate the need of lost end user productivity. Kaseya Live Connect includes the remote control tools that work in the background to provide complete computer access, all without interrupting the end user.
Not sure if the remote system is being used? Live Connect provides a thumbnail view of the remote desktop so you always know what is going on.
No more searching around to find information about the remote system - its all available in the audit. The full Kaseya Audit information is available in the Live Connect area for easy access.
Since you are remote, you can't tell if the system is bogged down. The Live Connect performance counters show you real time the system performance.
Transfer files or entire directories between the remote and local computers. Files are queued up and transferred based upon available bandwidth. Rename, delete, and move files and directories.
If you are more comfortable at the command line, jump right into the Remote Command Shell and perform any operation as if you are typing it into the remote computer's command shell directly. The end user is not interrupted while you perform the needed maintenance.
If you need instant control over the running processes on the machine, use the Remote Task Manager to view running processes on the computer. Stop offending processes or reset their priority. Start or stop services as you need.
Quickly check the Windows Event Logs without having to take over the computer. You will get to the event logs more quickly through the Remote Event Viewer than by desktop access because the tool is already up and running for the remote computer.
Resolve registry issues in minutes using the Remote Registry Editor. Search for keys, find, change, or delete specific entries. Typically using the Remote Registry Editor is faster than taking over the desktop, launching the registry editor, and then making changes.
Do you have technicians with specific roles in your IT organization? With Live Connect you can Assign unique technician roles that include access to specific functions required to help streamline complex tasks that may take many steps to resolve. Links to internal policy documents, videos or Intranet resources can also be included. Each role can have a custom tab which allows them to schedule scripts, view documents or access links as they need to perform repetitive functions.
You can see the computer status of any machine connected to your environment without the need for connecting. Each computer reports back its current status - on, logged in, active, etc. So long as the computer can connect to the internet - whether remote or in the office, you will see it online.
Access any single machine with Quick View
Hover over any of the Computer Status icons to get Quick View - a configurable quick toolkit for each computer. Completely configurable to include the most important tasks and tools you need - which includes most all of the functionality in Kaseya as well as waking the machine, recording the desktop, or connecting to tickets related to that computer. Single click access to specific Live Connect tools, run scripts or Desktop Access.
These icons indicate the agent check-in status of each managed machine. Hovering the cursor over a check-in icon displays the agent Quick View window.

A game that tries a little too hard to focus on co-op
Army of Two is one reminds me of one of those B-rated action movies. You have Rios, a battle-hardened soldier who looks like he's seen enough death in his lifetime, and Salem, a young spunky kid who's every other word is "bro" They start off in the army and figure out that mercenaries make a shit-load more money and apparently get to choose their own missions. This of course leads to them joining a PMC (Private Military Corporation) where they get to wear masks and pimp out their guns. This of course leads to more B-movie material where you would have to be brain dead to not see a major plot point coming up.

Originally written on BroncoTalk | Last updated 10/25/14
As kickoff approaches this Sunday, we provide a quick review of the week that was in Dove Valley leading up to game day. Today, defensive end Robert Ayers (non-injury related), wide receiver Brandon Stokley (wrist/hip), and tackle Chris Clark (illness) are questionable to play. Our thoughts and prayers are with Ayers and his family as he mourns the loss of his father. Game day broadcast map here. Hall of Fame Update: Former Broncos John Lynch, Steve Atwater, Terrell Davis, and Karl Mecklenburg were announced as 4-of-the-27 modern-era semifinalists for the 2013 Pro Football Hall of Fame class. On Friday, quarterback Peyton Manning met… Peyton Manning. On Thursday, outside linebacker Von Miller was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Month of November. On Wednesday, news came out that the Broncos are bidding to host Super Bowl LII in 2018. Additionally, cornerback Chris Harris replaced Tracy Porter as the Broncos' No. 2 cornerback on the 2013 Pro Bowl ballot. On Tuesday, free agent defensive end Jason Babin hit the waiver wire. And the Broncos showed zero interest. On Monday, we noted that left tackle Ryan Clady has played exceptionally well this season. Going into today's game, Clady has only allowed one sack this year. We are just a few hours away from kickoff. Check back for a post-game review and follow us on Facebook and Twitter for updates throughout the game!

Updates, Thanks and an Invitation
Rumors are circulating that Chairman Mary Schapiro of SEC will resign after the elections. I would think she has received a little too much heat this year. While we are fervently working to make sure crowd funding for equity is not delayed as a new law, it does not seem it will be legal until mid 2013.
Meanwhile, we had a great event at NYU and Columbia University for their Executive MBA Class last week. We are now continuing our work at NJIT, TechLaunch, State University of NY at Lake Placid, FIT and PACE in NY. Reach out if you have not presented with us and will be available in NYC.
A great thanks to Freeman White of Launcht, Douglas Ellenoff of Ellenoff, Grossman & Schole, Richard Salute of JH Cohn, Enzo Villani of Villani Advisers, Christine Landon of Crowd Fund Advisers, Mark Perlmutter of MicroAngels and Vince Molinari of Gate Technologies for speaking at these events.

In addition, it develops partnerships with companies such The Soho Loft, a global event platform where attendees assemble in order to exchange ideas and opportunities that will help reshape capital markets and stimulate economic growth.
This is going to be a busy fall. See you out there and meanwhile enjoy this article we had Mr. Drake write.
SEC suggests: Bring foreign capital to the US via crowd funding
Crowd funding had $1.5 billion in transactions in 2011. Because of the attention being given to the crowd funding bill, we are looking at a $3.2 billion market in 2012. Almost all of that projected market is currently happening outside crowd funding for equity transactions. In this nascent industry, half of that projection is also from the production of US companies. Now our holding firm, The Soho Loft, is proposing that we should export our expertise abroad. The US Commerce department agrees.
At our first meeting with the SEC, we quickly learned there would only be one self-regulatory organization involved, FINRA. Shortly thereafter, we revamped CFIRA so part of it became a trade association (CFPA) while the acronym CFIRA was modified to mean the Crowd Fund Intermediary Regulatory Advocates. This positioned our organization to actively lobby for a regulatory environment that would facilitate effective crowd funding for equity.
One of the topics we haven't asked the SEC about during my last three visits is how do we get foreigners without social security numbers to place investments in the US? This is extremely difficult when tracking investors is legally required. It seems logical to use an SSN for this, but there might be a more effective option. Our next conversation with the SEC will include this question, and I will highlight the recommendation that foreign investors should not be excluded. We will ask the SEC to consider allowing foreign investors to invest with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN). The IRS passed an ITIN regulation on Dec. 17, 2003. It reads, in part:
"Foreign buyers and sellers of U.S. real property interests need Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TINs) to request reduced tax withholding when disposing of the property interest, and to pay any required withholding. Individuals who do not qualify for Social Security Numbers (SSN) may obtain Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) to meet the requirement to supply a TIN.
The Internal Revenue Service implemented new procedures, effective December 17, 2003, to strengthen controls on ITINs and ensure the numbers are issued for tax administration purposes only."
ITINs would help import capital to the US and brand US innovation and early-stage investment without having to do expensive road shows and face-to-face meetings.

For the first time in nearly 40 seasons, a Brown won't be on the sideline as a coach for the Maiden football team next season.
Brian Brown resigned as the head football coach of the Blue Devils on Monday.
Brown held a meeting Monday with his players and coaches to announce the decision.
"I said when I took this job that I didn't know how long I'd be doing it," Brown said in a phone interview. "I just think it's time. I just have some other things I want to do."
Brown, a former player at Maiden, spent 13 seasons as a member of the Blue Devils' coaching staff.

HOMESTEAD, Fla. — Tony Stewart insisted he wasn't a title contender when NASCAR's championship race began.
When it became clear he actually was a viable threat, he kicked it into another gear and vowed to go for broke in his pursuit of Carl Edwards.
Did he ever.
DETROIT — Matthew Stafford shook off a couple of early interceptions, then went about leading the Detroit Lions to yet another memorable comeback.
The Lions quarterback matched a career-best with five touchdown passes, the final one a 7-yarder to Brandon Pettigrew with 2:32 left, and the Lions rallied for a 49-35 win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
"We were killing ourselves with turnovers," he said. "We knew that we'd be able to score in the second half if we could just keep our hands on the ball."

According to recent studies, 15% of the 11 million employees in Europe's education sector, from teachers and cooks to administrative staff, have suffered physical or verbal abuse at work, sometimes at the hands of students, on other occasions disgruntled parents and other adults are the culprits...
- Introduction
- Key Agency documents
- Risk assessment in education
- Case studies from the education sector
- Frequently Asked Questions
The education sector has special hazards, risks, and issues to be considered as its function frequently involves the actitivies of children and young adults.
The information provided here is intended to assist those in the workplace who are seeking Good Practice information for the Education Sector. Along with material from the Agency are links to information providers and online documentation from Member States and outside the EU.
It is most important that before "good practice information" is implemented in the workplace, a suitable and sufficient assessment of the hazards and risks in the workplace is carried out. This assessment should consider all the risks and hazards in the workplace to ensure that there is a real reduction in the exposure of workers and other to harm rather than merely replacing one risk with another.
A risk assessment is nothing more than a careful examination of what, in your work, could cause harm to people, so that you can weigh up whether you have taken enough precautions or should do more to prevent harm. The aim is to make sure that no one gets hurt or becomes ill. A risk assessment involves identifying the hazards present in any undertaking (whether arising from work activities or from other factors, e.g. the layout of the premises) and then evaluating the extent of the risks involved, taking into account existing precautions. The results of a suitable and sufficient risk assessment should help users choose which good practice measures are most appropriate.
The list below gives links to some sites in some Member States. For more complete information on material available in Member States, please refer to the good practice web pages of each Member State.
We are seeking feedback and comments from visitors to this site to help us to develop it further to meet your needs. Is the information useful? Is the presentation useful? What is missing? What could be presented in a better way? Which links do not function e.g. because the address is wrong? Are there any errors? Would you recommend the site to others?

Packaging Leaders Are Learners
From the beginning of my career, I have sought information from people who had studied leadership and success. Writers from ancient times to now have written on the subject.
All the wisdom boils down to just a few precepts. One is "you become what you think about," and the other is "leaders are learners."
When you combine the two, you find that what you fill your mind with determines what manner of person you'll become. Regarding your career, you must constantly learn new technologies, new techniques and new business practices in order for you to be successful — and for you to help your company be successful.
Automation World and Packaging World magazines are offering a great opportunity for learning at our new event, The Automation Conference (www.theautomationconference.com), which includes the seventh annual Packaging Automation Forum (PAF). This year's edition convenes May 22-23 at the Hilton in Rosemont, IL (close to O'Hare airport) and also includes tracks for factory automation and process automation. The speaker line-up is stronger than ever, featuring both Nestle's Bryan Griffen speaking on OMAC's PackML and the always popular Dave Chappell workshop on make2pack.
The after-conference chats are something else that should not be missed. I love talking with speakers and attendees afterwards and learning new things. Come and join us.

Article Summary
NASA's Kepler space telescope has succeeded in its mission to identify potentially-habitable exoplanets. Kepler has so far observed 156,000 stars in its field of vision and has identified no less than 1235 candidate planets that sit in the "goldilocks zone" (not too close to the star, and not too far away). Of these, scientists at the NASA's Ames Research Center are excited to announce the discovery of the Kepler-11 system – a rare multiple planetary system similar to our own with five planets in the habitable zone.

Denver Zoo is Greenest Zoo in Country
Denver Zoo was awarded The Association of Zoos and Aquariumsâ (AZA) first Green Award, ranking the zoo as the greenest zoo in the country for its outstanding sustainability practices.
Denver, CO (PRWEB) September 23, 2011
Denver Zoo was awarded The Association of Zoos and Aquariumsâ (AZA) first Green Award, ranking the zoo as the greenest zoo in the country for its outstanding sustainability practices. Denver Zoo President/CEO Craig Piper and Sustainability Coordinator Jennifer Hale accepted the honor at AZAâs annual conference in Atlanta, Georgia.
âœWe are thrilled to receive this honor. It is truly a testament of our employeesâ long-term commitment to leadership in sustainable business practices. As a conservation organization, it's important for us to operate our organization in alignment with our mission to secure a better world for animals through human understanding,â says Craig Piper.
Denver Zoo was recognized at the awards ceremony for leading efforts in sustainability through its Sustainable Management System (SMS). This system provides an institutional-wide frame-work to identify, implement, measure, report and continually improve operations to reduce the zooâs environmental impact. The first zoo in the country to receive ISO 14001 certification for all of its operations, Denver Zoo has been internationally recognized for its sustainable practices. ISO 14001 certification also commits the zoo to the highest environmental standards and requires regular independent outside audits to ensure consistent benchmarking and improvement.
The zooâs staff and culture embraces sustainability. Jennifer Hale, Denver Zooâs Sustainability Coordinator, champions and directs the zooâs efforts, working with all departments, with support from the Workplace Conservation Committee, to manage the zooâs sustainable management plan.
âœWinning the Association of Zoos and Aquariumsâ first Green Award bolsters our belief that we are the greenest zoo in the country,â says Sustainability Coordinator Jennifer Hale.
Highlights from the zooâs efforts include:
- Development of an innovative waste to energy system in the zoo's upcoming Asian Tropics exhibit that will convert 90% of the zoo's total waste stream into clean energy. Denver Zooâs will reduce its landfill contributions by 1.5 million pounds annually.
- Gold Member of the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environmentâs Environmental
Leadership Program, which exemplifies outstanding commitment to environmentally-friendly business practices.
- Denver Zoo has implemented numerous water conservation projects over the last 10 years, including xeriscaping, renovations to the water filtration systems at the sea lions and polar bears exhibits, construction of a water quality wetland and recirculation system at the Flamingo Pond and installation of circulation and filtration system at the Northern Shores Duck Ponds. These projects, as well as operational changes, have reduced overall annual water usage from 1999 by approximately 60% in 2010, a savings of 227 million gallons of water.
- Beginning in 2003, Denver Zoo started adding new water lines which incorporate reuse water for horticulture and exhibit maintenance. As exhibits are revitalized, the zoo will expand use of Denver Waterâs âœpurple pipe" system. In 2011, we were recognized for our innovative use of reuse water by the Water Reuse Association.
- With support from City & County of Denver SEED grant through the Department of Environmental Health, Denver Zoo created environmental Procurement software that provides a method to make sustainable and socially responsible decisions about all of the zooâs purchases to minimize negative effects on the environment, including carbon emissions.
- Partnership with Real Food Colorado to support our goals to source local produce and materials for our animal collection food needs.
- Energy reduction strategies, through retrofits and upgrades to equipment, with a reduction of 13% from 2008 baseline levels a savings of 1.4 million kWh. Our efforts continue with implementation of further improvements helping us reach our goal to reduce energy use by 30% by 2020.
- Denver Zoo provides an RTD Eco Pass as a benefit to employees, promoting an ecologically-sound option for commuting through RTD public transit. The zoo also developed EcoWheels, transportation software, allowing every employee to track his or her commuting methods including Eco Pass use, carpooling, cycling, and walking. It provides metrics for emissions reductions and continually helps improve alternative transportation usage. Incentive programs have increased alternative employee transit by 13 percent.
- Denver Zoo encourages the public to recycle e-waste, hosting events to collect used electronics. More than 31,000 pounds of recyclable electronics were collected from members and guests.
- Denver Zoo consistently informs the public on grounds and through education outreach programs about environmentally-friendly acts they can perform at home to help protect planet earth and all of its inhabitants.
About Denver Zoo: Denver Zoo is home to 3,800 animals representing more than 650 species and is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA). AZA accreditation assures the highest standards of animal care.
A leader in environmental action, Denver Zoo is dedicated to ensuring the safety of the environment in support of all species and is the first U.S. zoo to receive ISO 14001 certification for the entire facility and operations. This international certification ensures the zoo is attaining the highest environmental standards.
Since 1996, Denver Zoo has participated in 557 projects in 57 countries. In 2010 alone, Denver Zoo participated in 92 projects in 22 countries and five continents and more than $1 million in funds was spent by the zoo in support of animal conservation in the field.

Accompanied by a wide array of other couples' stories from across the nation, including celebrities Carol Channing, Suzanne Pleshette and Tom Poston, Nicole Miller, Liza Huber, and others, who have also rediscovered their early loves later in life and are building committed lives together, My Boyfriend's Back is the book romantics everywhere have been waiting for.

"The anecdotes are so touching and the overall message so inspiring, you'd have to be heartless not to feel hopeful after reading this book." (Publishers Weekly)
"Worth the Price and Time"
I really enjoyed listening to the stories of other long lost loves reunited. It was interesting but not overly "sickening sweet" and the author added fascinating psychological and physiology facts about the joys and success of reunited loves. If you are contemplating a new relationship or just like to hear positive stories, you will enjoy this book. My only small complaint is that the author is a rich successful person and often appears to go on too long about famous people she knows or fancy places she visited. A little is good, but she borders on too much. It is forgivable.
