Are you starting to think about holiday gift giving and fragrance shopping accordingly? Or are you taking care of #1 (your own nose)? Whatcha buying?

I'm working on my autumn/winter wardrobe, and so far have bought Samsara, Bandit and Shalimar. I'm definitely thinking of gifts already. My mother will get Coco for Christmas this year!
Ormond Jayne sample set from the website. These perfumes got such great reviews here and elsewhere. Just had to see what the fuss was about.
FYI - the sample set is about $56 - $57 US dollars and it seems to include postage. For 10 scents plus a FREE sample plus shipment to the US from London - that sounded reasonable. And the samples appear to be reasonably large.
CAN'T WAIT!!!!!! :bounce:
Yesterday a bottle of Le Baiser du dragon edt arrivedGot it from a basenoterVery happy about not just owning a mini now!
Just received Guerlain Parure extrait from 1975 - yummi and beatiful! http://a677.ac-images.myspacecdn.com...ec24c46884.jpg
Ooohh, mailman was good to me today. Received sealed vintage bottles of Chanel Bois des Iles parfum and Lanvin Scandal extrait (the big 2oz size and it's nearly full ) from the Imports guy.
The Scandal is my backup bottle... now I don't need to use my opened bottle so sparingly. But I so want to open it up now!
No more purchases for me for the month of October.... wait a minute.... I'm also eyeing the new Prada d'infusion Iris.
*sigh* My credit card simply can't take this abuse!
I'm simplifying my life. For Sale Thread (some niche, some designer):
I got a mini of Bvlgari Black today. It makes me feel mysterious in the same way as Omnia and Black Cashmere Aslo got Jovan Sex Appeal ... An awful bottle with a horrible pink parfyme inside. The scent is quite funny - I like it
I bought the new Gucci by Gucci - it's not even in stores yet, but I snagged a bottle from Ebay.
I've had a bad case of Costco fever! I usually only buy one bottle when they put out their fragrances for the holidays. But this year I bought 4! I was like a madwoman rummaging throught their precarious cardboard towers of fragrance. Most were end of September purchases, but anyway:
Agent Provacateur (the original one)
Shalimar edp (in the 80th anniversary Art Deco bottle)
D&G Light Blue (used to hate this, but lately loving it!)
Amarige (have been lemming this one. It's a 100ml bottle - will last me forever)
I wanted AP Maitresse too, but I let that one slip through my fingers. I didn't grab it, and when I returned couldn't find it again. I had to put a stop to the purchases though because even discounted they are still $40 each. But I'm so happy with the ones I bought
I'm really trying to be good. I'm really trying to be good. I'm really trying to be good. I'm really trying to be good. I'm really.............anybody buying this....yeah me neither....

After 2 weeks of debating with myself whether I reeeeeally need another bottle of perfume yesterday I went and bought Fracas. I'm in love with it!
Ordered the Ineke sample set from Ineke.com. Can't WAIT to try them. And $12.00 w/ shipping is a STEAL!!!!
Mira Bai and Jolie Madame. Both unsniffed, but I have Casmir and Casmir Blue and love them, and the reviews of Jolie Madame sounded intriguing.... Hopefully I won't think of it as "Angela Jolie Madame."
I got my little bottle of Comptoir Sud Pacifique AMOUR DE CACAO. Nice, but I wouldn't call it parfum
That is good, and no I don't think it will at all make you think of tabloid stories!
I resisted another quick splurge at Marshall's and did not buy the Marc Jacob's Violet. I got home, read the BN reviews and felt relieved that I only walked away with a itty bitty bottle of Anthousa Fig and Vetiver for 14.99.
Still trying hard not to place another big AL order and waiting to treat myself to Holzman and Stephanie's La Parisienne or Mike Storer's Genvieve!
As discussed on my SoTD mention today, I just bought a bottle of YSL's Paris Roses Enchantees in honor of Twolf who allowed me to sample it, and in memory of Sudsy.
I like the idea of thinking of two wonderful BNers when I wear this fragrance, both with joy and a bit of melancholy.
Its thought that people who hope too much will just waste their life away and never get down to doing any real work. Theyre confusing Hope with Wish, its lazy cousin...

My sale thread has some of my underappreciated fragrances looking for a good, new home...
2.5oz Creed Aubépine-Acacia. This is a great Unisex citrus folks..Tried a sample and fell in love all over again!
Add Creed Silver Mountain Water, Fendi Uomo, YSL Live Jazz and a backup bottle of Zino Davidoff..What the heck..the mortgage payment can wait.

15 mls of Chanel no 5 pure parfum which is sublime and surprisingly musky on my skin
"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.

Forget buying anything fragrant for a while! I just bought by daughter a $320 dress and $130 shoes and $40 earrings to wear to her homecoming dance.....she does look beautiful though. I am not even going to calculate in my head how many or what bottles of perfume I could have bought ....I refuse to be that selfish.

Me? Oh I have been bad. I spent far too much in the BN marketplace and have a parcel of fabulous things waiting for me at my mother's house when I go back to Wales this week. And then today I found possibly the cheapest perfume site on ebay and spend fifty quid. Madame Rochas, Tabu and Raffinee by Dana plus English Leather for my hubby (honest) and then I really got gung ho and chucked Cabotine Bleu and Cabaret by Gres into the basket as well. I am so bad...
And now I have the biggest urge to try Le Baiser du Dragon. You see, it's just dreadful, isn't it? (OK, maybe it's more a case of I'm dreadful.)

Went on a trip to Amagansett this weekend, came back with Christiane Celle Calypso Gardenia. Simple gardenia/tuberose/jasmine, which reminds me of Fracas in bits but is nowhere near as heavy or long-lasting - which is good, really, because I cannot wear Fracas AT. ALL.
Favorite Notes:
Rose, Apricot, Violet, Leather, Iris, Blackberry, Saffron, Musk, Incense
Fell for Guerlain Vetiver. I really was lacking a vetiver in my collection, and now that I sprayed it on again, I'm convinced that it's an awesome scent.

Very, very excited! I finally found a L'Heure Bleue edt refill for my gold canister! It was at Pefume Bay the whole time!
Have been buying Dior Remember and Forever and Ever found on Ebay, never seen in the shops here.
Like these soft fragraces since I tried a box with 5 travel minis at the end of summer, now got to have them, will put those aside soon for next summer.
I have been a very good girl - sold out 2 of my Caron.
That gave me a reasen for ordering another Caron .. Nuit De Noel
I bought my sister a bottle of L'Occitane's new Lavender Room Spray, because her family is in need of calming down. I told her when things get out of hand, just start squirting it around the house, which made her laugh. She needed that. It looks like it smells good, too, I like their other AOC French lavender products.
For our home, I splurged on their Cherry Blossom Room Spray and Body Powder with a pretty puff. It's fresh smelling and I thought it might work well with the unscented L'Amande baby soap with almond oil I got from Beautyhabit and L'Occitane's L'Amande Lait Concentree (almond milk concentrate) body cream I've been using at night. I didn't used to like almond scents, either.

AND - because of my excessive shopping at the Guerlain mothership, they offered me a gold sucrier-bottle and a recharge of Chamade to go inside it. Doesn't that just motivate you to go on buying?

1.7oz Fracas for $29.95
I had my Angel star re-filled at Dillards today ...
My poor bottle is looking a little worse for wear, but it is very well loved. The SA said I should call and order a new cap (the spray part). Almost all of the silver has worn away. There is a big chip missing from one of the star points, the result of a near fatal fall onto the garage floor. There is also some nail polish stains that just would not come off, due to an explosion of OPI's "Mother Road Rose" in my purse. I think she felt sorry for my poor little bottle, she threw in samples of Angel, Angel Innocent, and Alien.
I've trademarked the color bleu
Found a bottle of With Love from Hilary Duff for my daughter, she loves this pretty scent, and I totally approve of it.
Also found a bottle of Aqua Allegoria Anisia Bella. Sudsy turned me onto the AA's from Guerlain, her beloved Pamplelune and the gorgeous Gentiana, and so I bought this blind.
It's so fresh, watery, and with that bitter anise note to it...very refreshing and uplifting. My ten year old, who is so taken with my Chanel no 5 wanted me to spray this on his wrist, he really likes it. It's a nice addition, we'll give it a good home, it seems.

Awww. That's the sweeeeetest story, Shades....that bottle has history. You gotta keep it. We're with you all the way, girl!
Meanwhile, down here in sunny SC - having made one pass at Marshall's for an Anthousa Fig and Vetiver grab (I had never heard of this house 'til Twolf talked about it and kept reading it as Ant House....) went back today and swept up White Tubereuse in which I now luxuriate. A chameleon that's gone from citrus through all kinds flowers to the tuberose and now some sort of creamy dry down. Tinks gets lemon and ylang ylang from this and isn't impressed - but both of us LOVE the price!! For me, a total of $30 for $150.00 worth of frags!!

I am really excited about MR! :bounce:

A bottle of vintage Violette Precieuse.

I just bought a tester of Bvlgari Black myself - I agree, its smoky and mysterious, but warm and sweet too. Its very easy to wear.
Lemur, I have a decant of Jasmin de Nuit, and find it quite worthy. I also have mini of Aqaba, but think I prefer the Jasmin de Nuit, of the samples you ordered.

After coveting it for 5 months, I finally bought Mure et Musc Extreme by L'Artisan. This is a fragrance I can really LIVE in. It's not a special occasions or specific season scent. It's not something that gives me a headache on alternate days. It's not too fruity, despite its name, or too musky! It's very breathable, and when I wear it, it lasts and lasts, but I cannot find the source of the luscious scent. I can't say, "Ah hah! THIS is where I sprayed it. This is where it's coming from." Instead, it enters my blood stream (I must assume) and wraps around me like an aura.
And he whose soul is flat -- the sky
Will cave in on him by and by.

I finally bought Marc Jacobs edp (the first MJ scent). I've wanted it for years, and I don't really know how I've managed not to buy it for so many years! It's record-breaking, really. And it will be worth the wait, I'm sure.
I ordered some music CD's from Amazon, too, and received six samples from Beautyhabit by Cote Bastide last week. Didn't really like any on me but the one I already tried, Iris. I hesitate to buy the huge bottle they sell for over $70, wish they offered a smaller one or had a decent coupon deal going.

The government had issued 4 lakh soil health cards
'More farmers should adopt micro irrigation'
SANKAGIRI: Agriculture Minister Veerapandi S. Arumugam handed over the land documents pertaining to 582.91 acres of land to 656 beneficiaries under the fifth phase of the two-acre free land scheme at a function here on Friday.
Speaking in the function, the minister said that the State government would adopt a cluster approach for developing the patta wastelands.
About 50 acres of land would be taken up under a cluster and works such as levelling the ground, sinking of bore wells and creation of irrigation facilities would be carried out.
A committee would be set up to oversee these works, he added.
He urged the farmers to test their soil before taking up cultivation.
They should adopt modern cultivation techniques to improve the agricultural productivity.
The government had already issued 4 lakh soil health cards.
The minister further said that the government allotted Rs. 266 crore to provide credit-linked subsidy under the National Horticulture Mission.
It also allotted Rs. 133 crore for promoting micro irrigation (drip or sprinkler) for various crops in the State. More farmers should come forward to adopt micro irrigation, he said. Listing out various welfare schemes implemented by the State government,
Mr. Arumugam said that the interest for the crop loan had been reduced and sufficient funds were allotted to contribute for the crop insurance premium.
The minister said that the district administration would issue about 8,000 more free house site pattas to eligible families within March 2008. The administration had already issued 5,528 house site pattas.
Union Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment Subbulakshmi Jagadeesan also spoke.
District Revenue Officer M. Rajarathinam presided. Senior officials were present.

Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 pound
spicy bulk pork sausage
1 pound
lean ground beef
1 (28 ounce) can
diced tomatoes
onion, chopped
1 (6 ounce) can
tomato paste
2 tablespoons
distilled white vinegar
2 teaspoons
chili powder
1/2 teaspoon
1/4 teaspoon
red pepper flakes, or more to taste
10 cups
shredded cabbage
Spicy Unstuffed Cabbage Haiku: "Halved the recipe, used all ground beef, no sausage. This sure makes alot!" So the submitter of the recipe is right; even in half, this makes a ton! As it resembled a cabbage roll's guts, I made rice alongside it for serving, but found that the leftovers the next day that had been mixed up w/ the rice, were far superior. Wasn't too thrilled w/ the heavy vinegar taste, and felt that it could've benefited from the addition of minced garlic, so when I make this again (which I will as we really did like it alot), I would serve it mixed w/, instead of on top of, rice, reduce the vinegar, and add garlic, and probably make a full batch, as I imagine extras would freeze nicely for a reheated casserole later on.
I made this on the stove so I added a little water too. It was very good.
8 Ratings
**EDIT** When I posted this recipe I didn't realize that I had left out to transfer the cooked and drained meat to a Dutch oven or a large soup pot. You can even use a crockpot if you desire.
The amount of spice you add is all up to your personal taste.
This was really good. I made a half recipe, using only sausage, but it was Italian sausage. I recommend using a regular sausage. I also think I would like a little more cabbage in it next time, but I'll probably have to adjust the liquid if I do that. I am one of those people who prefers veggies to meat, though, so it's probably just me. Smells amazing while cooking, and I think if I make those adjustments, I'll love it!
This was delicious. Even the kids liked it. I sliced the cabbage so it was long and thin and told them it was sort of like spaghetti.
This was very good. I followed the recipe for the most part, but used red cabbage because I didn't have any green. I cut the recipe in half to 5 cups of cabbage. It tasted even better the next day. I also added an additional 1/4 teaspoon salt for seasoning. This makes a very hearty meal and is very tasty.
It was great ! Very flavorful! Did the recipe exactly as written .

Lansing's Craft & Mason pursues a different type of microbrew
By Current State
Microbreweries have been popping up all over the state, but what about micro roasters? Current State's Emanuele Berry recently took a trip to visit the founders of Craft & Mason Coffee, a new micro roaster in the Lansing area.
Eric Craft and Jeremy Mason developed a passion for coffee, so they decided to take their love to the next level and start roasting and selling their beans.
Mason says he first discovered his love for coffee at a beer festival.

Condom distribution to US troops in Palawan assailed
The militant Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) has assailed the US government for distributing condoms to American troops taking part in the 17th Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (Carat) joint naval exercises in Palawan.
Renato Reyes Jr., Bayan secretary general, on Monday took exception to reports the US was giving away free condoms to its military personnel if they wish to engage in "adult activities" in the province located east of the West Philippine Sea that is a popular tourist destination.
"Such was admitted by a spokesperson of the US Navy," Reyes pointed out.
About 800 US troops—along with the same number of Philippine Navy personnel—are taking part in Carat.
On Sunday, GMA News reported that US Navy personnel had been given free condoms for "responsible adult activities."
"If people decide to engage in adult relationships, then we want them to do that in a safe and responsible manner," Lt. Cmdr. Mike Morley, US Navy spokesperson said in an interview on "Balitanghali."
In a statement, Reyes noted that "American troops engage in war games and engage in so-called rest and recreation on our shores. This is exactly the type of activity that violates our national dignity. This is one of the reasons the US bases then were such an abomination."
"This is why the Subic rape case happened in November 2005. Now it's as if the Subic rape never happened and US troops are at it again," Reyes said.
On the occasion of Filipino-American Friendship Day yesterday, Reyes called on the Aquino administration to "end all unequal relations with Washington."
He asserted that "there is really no reason to celebrate Fil-Am Friendship Day given our historical relations with the US."
"As we extend our friendship and solidarity to the American people, we continue to oppose the unequal and exploitative relations being imposed on the Filipino people by the US government. The so-called friendship being offered by US imperialism has not benefited us over the past decades. It's time to "unfriend" the imperialists and move for relations based on equality and mutuality," Reyes said.
Earlier, Bayan denounced what it said was the "detrimental and unequal character" of the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA), concluded on May 27, 1999, eight years after the American bases were shut in the country.
But Malacañang has stated that it is "generally happy" with the VFA, while the US embassy has declared that the treaty has been "working very well" for both countries.

The Complement System as a Therapeutic Target for Lupus
Tomlinson, Stephen, PhD
Medical University of South Carolina
Complement is the term given to a collection of blood proteins that form an important part of the immune system. Under normal conditions, complement has various protective roles, such as defense against invading microorganisms and modulation of immune responses. However, in lupus, complement inappropriately targets tissues in the patient's body and plays a key role in causing inflammation and tissue damage. This project will investigate the role of different parts of the complement system in the pathogenesis (development) of lupus. The goals are to develop novel types of therapies that will inhibit complement only at the site of tissue damage and to test the safety and effectiveness of these therapies in mouse models of lupus. Promising results have been obtained in experiments with systemic (body-wide) complement inhibitors for the treatment of inflammation, but their use for treating lupus may exacerbate symptoms, since complement is also involved in normal protective processes that are important in people with lupus.
What this study means for people with lupus: Strategies to target complement inhibitors to the site of complement-associated tissue damage could provide significant improvements in effectiveness and safety over systemic complement inhibitors. If therapeutic studies in mouse models of lupus are successful, Dr. Tomlinson and his colleagues will make plans to translate this approach for testing and use in lupus patients.

I rented a car from Hertz in Miami a few months ago. Before returning it, I filled it up with gas. When I turned the car in, I double-checked the fuel gauge, made sure my receipt reflected that the car had been returned full, and, thinking I had myself covered, flew home.
A few days later I received a letter from Hertz saying I had been charged $93 for refueling. It went on to say that their own receipt stated the gauge was full, but that was not ample proof that I had refueled the car, and I would need to provide a receipt.
I paid for the gas with cash and did not keep my receipt.
I was aghast that I was not protected by their own paperwork and the burden of proof was on me to produce a receipt.
What can I do? I've called Hertz numerous times to no avail. Am I a victim of their latest scam? Do you think it is fair for them to disregard their own receipt as proof that the car was refueled?
– Danny Griffin, Los Angeles
No, it's not fair. If Hertz gives you a receipt that verifies your car was returned with a full tank, that should be the end of the story. Case closed.
It's true that car-rental companies are getting strict about cars that are returned with less than a full tank. Some companies make you show them a receipt when you bring back the car. That's fine.
But making you show a receipt after you've settled up? I've never heard of that until now.
How did this happen? It's possible the Hertz agent checking you in didn't pay attention to the gas gauge and printed your receipt. Later, another associate discovered that the needle on your gas gauge was tilting toward the "E" and decided to charge you.
I think a $93 bill is excessive. That's a very generous markup and probably more than covers Hertz's cost to top off your tank. I can't blame you for thinking it's a scam.
Here's what you have to remember the next time you rent a car: When you refuel, use a credit card and ask for a paper receipt. Keep the receipt and show it to the employee when you return the car. You might want to ask if it's enough proof of a full tank, and if it's not, what you would need to do to avoid a refueling charge.
I contacted Hertz on your behalf. It refunded your $93.

New scoring system gets mixed reviews
Updated: February 15, 2010, 9:45 PM ETBy Jim Caple | ESPN.com
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Confused by figure skating's scoring system? You're not alone. Frank Carroll has been in the sport for more than a half century, coaching everyone from Michelle Kwan to Evan Lysacek, and he doesn't completely understand it, either.
"This is terrible to say, but when the scores come up for a short program, I don't even know what a great score is," Carroll says. "I'm squinting like this, and the marks come up and Evan will say, 'My God, ...

← Bush Bureaucrats at Dept. of Health and Human Services Redefine Contraception as Abortion
Jump to comment 2 by lievemebe
A respect for life is one thing all established religions have in common, but drawing scientific and political conclusions based on one religious philosophy over all others runs counter to the idea of separation of church and state.
Ignoring the contentious first part of the sentence, I do not see how a scientific conclusion can be based on one or other religious philosophy. Science is definitely taken out of context here.

Parliament's Budget committee has turned down a request of Shs 5bn from officials of the under-fire National Agricultural Advisory Services (Naads).
Appearing before the committee chaired by Ntenjeru South MP Amos Lugoloobi (NRM) today, Naads board Chairperson Aggrey Bagire and Executive Director Samuel Mugasi failed to convince MPs that Naads could spend up to Shs 5bn on procuring mango and orange seedlings for onward distribution among veterans, just days to the end of the 2013/14 fiscal year.
"Do you have the capacity to spend the money within one week left on this financial year?" asked MP Lugoloobi.
In response, Mugasi said: "Yes we shall be able to spend that money once approved because we are just going to use it to pay the suppliers who gave us the orange and mango seedlings which we distributed to the veterans."
His response was, however, rejected by the MPs. They argued that Naads had no business attending to veterans. They said there was a "special" and "cheap" arrangement under which veterans were being catered for.
"Which veterans are the officials from Naads talking about? Because the veterans I know are under another special arrangement which is cheap," said Bukooli North MP Bakka Mugabi.
Lugoloobi, the committee chairperson said, "I have never received any penny for veterans from Naads in my constituency; so I doubt whether your claim is the truth."
Asked for the "list of all veterans who have benefited from the Naads scheme," the officials simply said: "They distributed 300,000 seedlings of mangos and 300,000 seedlings of oranges to veterans."
MPs said it was difficult for them to approve Naads entire supplementary budget of Shs 30bn for the outgoing fiscal year 2013/14, yet the president is vowing to suspend it anytime.
"The president is ever complaining that Naads has performed badly over the last so many years and he has said that he is going to suspend it; so how can we give you this supplementary money?" said Dokolo MP Cecilia Ogwal (FDC).
Asked to comment about the president's remarks, Bagire said: "The president might be right because the design of Naads is not appropriate and it has a problem, but it also operates under a lot of stress."
"It's overstretched because it is supposed to be advisory, but it has overtaken all the pillars in agriculture," he said.

Yesterday the Lord Awoke.
You see, God had been sleeping. Entombed again. How long, O Lord, must we sing this song [7] of You Entombed? We bury you again and again. We crucify you again and again. Then, when you show us (again and again) that death cannot contain you, we run away. We're afraid [8]. We cannot imagine a world in which Death has no sting. We cannot imagine a world in which Death does not hold the last word and our ability to deal in Death doesn't empower us.
We're afraid of You because You show us again and again that our power to deal out Death like a deck of cards is, in the end, meaningless. We love our super powers and sovereignty. We love our media empires and our colliseums. We love that feeling of ownership and control. You Interrupt all that striving.
It is Monday. Yesterday you Awoke from your slumber. We tried to put You down. We mourned when we thought You had died. We mourned. We wailed. We denied. We hid. We gave up.
"Do not be afraid," you Interrupted us again.
This is your Gospel. This is your good news. This, "Do not be afraid!" It is the Holy Interruption...the end of Fear.
It's Monday, God, and already the fear and anxiety are creeping back in. Already we are jockeying for position. We arm ourselves against one another [9]. We buy property and interest earning stock hoping to outlive Death. We claim our url's and manage our timelines. We want the world to love us without knowing us. We want the world to buy what we're selling. We're terrified it won't and we'll be forgotten in all the hustle and bustle of Business As Usual.
Help me.
Interrupt me.
I'll hate you for it
(at first).
But maybe I'll learn
to love you for it
(at last).
Breathe your Spirit upon me.
Know me.
Breathe out opon this world.
Don't stop loving me.
For I am
"sore afraid."
It's Monday
and I am waiting for The Spirit.

In 325 he convened the Nicene Creed and separated god into three
from Ras Kass – Nature of the Threat Lyrics on Genius
Constantine convened a council in 325 in Nicea, which established the mainstream definition of Christianity which exist to this day.
Among the standardized beliefs was that of the trinity which was accepted by the council, despite opposition from Arius a North African monk.
The trinity is one aspect of Christianity that is often criticized by Jews and Muslims since a simple understanding of it calls into question Christianity's monotheism.

Joel Dreessen TE DEN 10 months ago
Broncos released TE Joel Dreessen.
Dreessen was cut with the "failed physical" designation. He underwent surgery on his left knee in February, his third operation on the same knee is less than a calendar year. Dreessen will turn 32 on Saturday and may be nearing the end of the line with his body starting to betray him. The Broncos save $2.5 million.
Joel Dreessen TE DEN 11 months ago
Broncos TE Joel Dreessen didn't participate in spring practices because of ongoing knee issues.
Dressen underwent surgery on his left knee in February. It was his third operation on the same knee in fewer than 12 months. Soon-to-be 32-year-old Dreessen carries a $3.1 million cap charge this season and may be on the chopping block with the Broncos right up against the cap. He caught seven balls in 2013.
Joel Dreessen TE DEN 1 year ago
Broncos TE Joel Dreessen will undergo surgery on his left knee next week.
Dreessen is hoping Denver honors his $2.5 million salary for 2014, but that's a long shot. This will be Dreessen's third surgery on the same knee in fewer than 12 months, and his role was scaled back significantly in 2013, finishing with seven catches in 13 games. Dreessen is likely to be a cap casualty.
Joel Dreessen TE DEN 1 year ago5 Comments
The Denver Post believes the Broncos will turn to Joel Dreessen and Jacob Tamme to "pick up the slack" if Julius Thomas (knee, questionable) is inactive for Week 12 at New England.
Virgil Green would be the No. 3 tight end and handle "plenty of playing time" if the sub-favorable weather conditions "cause the Broncos to try and run the ball more than they would like." Dreessen would draw the start and be the best bet for a red-zone score, so we'd start him if forced to choose from the trio. Tamme would probably run the most pass routes, but has never been a big part of Denver's passing game even dating back in 2012, when he was a starter.
Joel Dreessen TE DEN 1 year ago
Broncos TE Joel Dreessen (knee) is listed as probable for Week 12.
Dreessen practiced fully on both Thursday and Friday. He'll be active against the Patriots and could see a bigger role with Julius Thomas banged up.
Joel Dreessen TE DEN 2 years ago
Joel Dreessen (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Dreessen underwent two knee scopes in the offseason. The Broncos are just limiting his reps. He won't be on the fantasy radar if Julius Thomas (ankle) plays.
Joel Dreessen TE DEN 2 years ago2 Comments
Joel Dreessen caught two passes for 19 yards and a touchdown in Denver's Week 8 win over the Redskins.
Dreessen was only in the ballgame because Julius Thomas departed with an ankle issue. Dreessen entered Week 8 with one catch on the season, and won't be on the fantasy radar even if Thomas is unavailable for Week 9.
Joel Dreessen TE DEN 2 years ago
Broncos TE Joel Dreessen (knee) returned to Broncos practice Thursday, getting in a limited session.
Dreessen could make his season debut in Monday night's game against the Raiders, but has been buried on the depth chart by Julius Thomas. His fantasy relevance is long gone.
Joel Dreessen TE DEN 2 years ago
Broncos TE Joel Dreessen (knee) is listed as out for Week 2.
Julius Thomas will continue to play 100 percent of the offensive snaps.
Joel Dreessen TE DEN 2 years ago
Joel Dreessen (knee) did not practice Monday.
Dreessen continues to do agility work on the side as he recovers from a scope. He's lost his starting job to Julius Thomas anyway.

The Dodd-Frank Act (the "Act") contains several provisions creating significant compliance challenges for covered financial institutions. Some of the measures will impose novel responsibilities. Some may change the way firms plan and conduct business, causing them to divest or discontinue business activities, restructure, or forego new acquisitions or activities altogether. Some will require firms to gather, store, analyze and understand massive amounts of data. One provision, however, Section 165(d), has the potential to do all of these things. Covered firms (which are bank holding companies with total consolidated assets of $50 billion or more, and nonbank financial companies designated as systemically important by the Financial Stability Oversight Council and placed under the supervision of the Federal Reserve Board, collectively called "SIFIs") need to begin to consider the implications of this significant provision.
Section 165(d) requires SIFIs to produce a plan that details how the company could be resolved in a rapid and orderly fashion in the event of material financial distress or failure. These resolution plans have come to be known as "living wills." The concept of living wills for financial institutions first gained favor in Great Britain in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. The idea is that requiring firms to develop such plans in advance, forces them to review their operations, obligations, activities and exposures, and estimate how to minimize the market disruption that might result from their financial demise. This effort is intended to produce two results: First, firms finding impediments to an orderly resolution would have to change the structure, cease the activity or liquidate the exposure causing the problem; and second, upon completion of the plan, the firms would have an outline that could be followed in the event of severe financial distress.
The Act requires the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("the Fed") (collectively the "regulators"), to issue joint regulations to implement Section 165(d) by January 21, 2012. On April 12, 2011, the Board and the FDIC published a joint proposed rule regarding living wills and credit exposure reports. The public comment period is open until June 10, 2011.

World's number six DJ, Hardwell will be making his debut performance in India this week. While the news has gotten his fans excited, Indian artists too are kicked about his maiden show and the possibility of being able to work with him.
From what we gather, the 23-year-old Dutch DJ is in talks with desi crooners Priyanka Chopra and Honey Singh for a collaboration. "A lot of musicians have approached us for collaborations, but we are checking if he has enough time since he's on an extremely tight schedule," reveal organisers Aayush Bansal and Vismay Choksi as they confirmed the news, adding, "Also, we have some very prominent people attending the gig which is being hosted for the first time ever in an aircraft hangar."
While Honey is known for his catchy, tongue-in-cheek songs, PC is not an outsider in the music scene anymore either. After her single In My City with Black Eyed Peas singer will.i.am, PC recorded an electronic dance music track called Erase, this time with the American disc jockey and producer duo The Chainsmokers.
Hardwell, who will be performing in the city this Sunday, has collaborated with industry stalwarts like Chuckie, Avicii, Fedde Le Grand, Swedish House Mafia, Nadia Ali, Florida, Akon, Armin van Buuren, Kelly Rowland, Tiësto, Bob Sinclar, Sultan & Ned Shepherd, Rihanna and Above & Beyond in the past.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stock futures were pointing to a higher open Thursday as economic reports provided some optimism to Wall Street.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were up 0.02% to 13,033. Futures for the S&P 500 added 0.01% to 1407. Nasdaq futures were adding 0.28% to 2648, with a fair value of 2641.
ADP reported that private payrolls added 158,000 jobs in October. A consensus of economists expected 155,000, according to Econoday. Worth noting is that the ADP switched to Moody's as its economic consultant to revamp the data.
Initial jobless claims fell 23,000 to 363,000 in the week ended Oct. 20, but the four-week moving average ticked up for the second consecutive week to 368,000. The prior week's claims were revised to 372,000, or a 46,000 jump.Exxon Mobil (XOM - Get Report) reported third-quarter adjusted earnings of $2.09 a share, which beat an estimate of analysts polled by Bloomberg. The company also announced it would buy back some $5 billion worth of shares in the fourth quarter. Shares of the oil company were off 0.75% in premarket trading. Investors also anticipated a slew of other U.S. indicators Thursday including the ISM manufacturing index and consumer confidence, among others. Royal Dutch Shell, the U.K. oil giant, reported that third-quarter core earnings declined 15% as oil and gas prices fell, but saw a 2.3% increase in third-quarter profit thanks to higher earnings from its liquefied natural gas operations. The FTSE 100 in London was gaining 0.64%, helped in part by Shell's earnings, while the DAX in Germany was also up 0.68%. Asian markets received a jolt after China's October manufacturing PMI reading reached an eight-month high of 49.5, which was up from a prior month 47.9 and beat the 49.1 consensus among economists polled by Econoday. Japan's Nikkei average rose 0.21% overnight to close at 8947. Hong Kong's Hang Seng rose 0.83% to 21,821.

Friday 5 October 2012
I needed somewhere to just sit and catch my breath after the sights. The sun poured into the square and the cappuccino tasted heavenly. Perhaps that was inevitable after I'd spent an hour exploring St John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta.
The Maltese capital is surrounded on three sides by the sea and by the massive fortifications seen as essential to deter another Turkish attack when the splendid cathedral was completed in 1577 for the Knights of St John – the crusading champions of Christianity. It is a stunning, astonishingly ornate building with a roof split into six panels depicting scenes from John the Baptist's life by Calabrian artist Mattia Preti.
There are stone wall carvings currently undergoing a painstaking restoration and a cleaning programme which has been in progress for six years. The cathedral features one of the most imaginative church floors in the world, with 400 breathtakingly beautiful marble panels.
Caravaggio, the first great hero of the baroque movement, has a room within the cathedral showcasing The Beheading of St John the Baptist (his largest work) and The St Jerome Writing, another figurative masterpiece. Sipping my coffee in the sundrenched courtyard of the San Giovanna Cafe outside the cathedral, I began to understand why this island draws so many visitors from the UK.
The history is amazing – stretching back more than 7,000 years, with some stone buildings reckoned to be older than Stonehenge. Down the centuries, the islands of Malta, Gozo and Comino have been fought over by the Romans, Ottomans, French and British. But there are remarkably modern locations too – such as Vittoriosa Waterfront, where superb alfresco restaurants overlook the marina and the super-yachts.
Malta is blessed with natural, deep, well-protected harbours, an important asset and one reason why the country was so prized by rampaging forces. The island gained the George Cross as official recognition of its courage during the Second World War; more than 16,000 tonnes of bombs rained down as the Nazis battled to gain a crucial foothold for their push into north Africa. The islanders survived by cutting shelters deep into the rock and one is preserved in the War Museum in Couvre Porte.
Though the island retains a lovely colonial feel and plenty of British references – old-fashioned red telephone and pillar boxes – we closed our last military base there in 1979, five years after the country was declared a republic. A former British fort, Rinella, not far from Valletta in Kalkara, is a 'live' museum where you can fire a 19th century cannon, explore the fort and its tunnels, and even sample Victorian soldiers' hard tacked biscuits and tea.
It isn't as tasty as the Maltese pastizzi though. I developed a penchant for the local speciality pastries served with ricotta or spicy pea filling, which you can snack on in any cafe. Local wines are pretty good too (there is little Maltese wine in our supermarkets because they keep it for themselves).
You can exhaust yourself taking in some of Malta's attractions and history – the silent citadel of Mdina, a cruise by water taxi across Grand Harbour, and prehistoric World Heritage Sites such as the temples of Mnajdra and Hagar Qim. But this is also a place to sit and watch the world go by. And there are plenty of places to do that too.

Bike Setup: fox float 32 140mm, XTR dual controls to 160 xtr back and 160 saint 4 pot front, XT crank, Mavic SLR, michelin XCR 2.0 front, Marathon extreme 2.25 rear, Hycross controltech bar, R2M magnesium grip ends, 50/50 pedals.
Date Reviewed: April 8, 2010
Strengths: It climbs, gets power to the ground and doesn't let "Bob" get to you once set up properly.
The slick suspension components soak up everything I ride through and the XL frame is a good fit for my lanky 90kg frame.
3 year warranty for the frame for the original owner.
Weaknesses: Ahh, where do I begin. The pivots; it's been said already and it's all true. I also had a bottom link break thanks to the afformentioned bolt through the frame breaking.
The front triangle flexes like no other. I run wide bars with bar ends, and at times it feels like the front end is not connected to the back end, especially when climbing out of the saddle. It can also be scary on some rougher faster downhill sections. This is also the source of the next fault/failure mode. My top tube cracked where the front of the seat stay meets it. I believe the flexing of the wobbly front bit where it meets the triangulated and more rigid rear section causes a focal point for the stresses caused by the flexing to work harden the tube material eventually leading to the cracking. Don't hold your breath for Felt to come to the rescue with advice or help on this one. The silence is deafening on my enquiry and request for technical advice for an effective repair. To be fair, my frame is an 07 secondhand and three years old, but some support and advice would be nice.
The steering is also a bit truck like when the forks are at full hieght. I heard they have addressed this on later models.
The only other thing is that the rear triangle is very tight on 2.4 tyres, and gets damaged when debris gets dragged through the minimal gap. 2.3" would fit better if you have/prefer to go phat.
Bottom Line:
Would I get another one?
If they fix the issues mentioned and back their products and assist the owners better.... Possibly.
For the rest of you, take one for a ride and if it really suits you....? but I recommend that you do your research prior and get something a bit less fragile and better handling, even if it is a poofteenth heavier.

Date Reviewed: October 26, 2008
Strengths: Is made to climb some seriously crazy technical stuff
Weaknesses: Design flaw at the main rear pivot attachment.
Flexy front triangle compared to Cannondale bikes I own, so does not inspire confidence when descending.
Bottom Line:
Now to the point. The FULLY THREADED pivot bolt goes through a 2 piece welded pivot and bottom bracket housing which is welded to the main frame. It contains a left and a right side. For the pivot "hole", the right side is threaded and the left side is not. It is just a hole the size of the outer diameter of the FULLY THREADED bolt. The main frame is ALUMINUM and the bolt is made of STEEL. Can anyone guess what is going to happen? The THREADED BOLT "bites" into the ALUMINUM main frame in a matter of a few rides. After about 3 rides I noticed quite a bit of play in the rear triangle. Wedged the front wheel so it could not move and grabbed a pedal in the down position and moved it back and forth. There is a ton of play down there. I finally took it apart to see what was going on. I couldn't believe what I saw. To say the least I was highly disappointed that Felt (or any "reputable" bicycle co.) would let something like this be sold. Felt would not respond to my email and when I did talk to a sales rep, he was very nervous about the issue. When the LBS contacted his rep, he said they knew about the problem and supposedly a fix was in the works but not until 2009!?! fu@kin bullsh!t. And to top it off, I was going to have to pay for it. My dealer said that the 2008 models supposedly resolved this issue. I would have though any moron would have known better that to put out crap like this.
Well, I had to find a hard (turned out to be titanium) thin walled tube so that I could drill out the pivot hole were the bolt bit into it and put the tube in there to fix it. This is not any easy accomplishment, but it works now and there is not play after many rides. Fu@k Felt.
Okay enough venting. I made the frame into a 69er which is a 26" rear wheel and a 29" front wheel with 100mm travel G2 offset Fox. The bike I tested with the 26" front wheel and 130mm front travel rode like crap because the bike's HA is way too steep. The 29" front wheel solves this and it rides beautifully except that the front triangle is a little bit flexy for my taste. The rear triangle(now that I fixed it) is actually stiffer that my Cannondales, but the rear is not as important for handling. Downhill sections are a little scary because of the flex. It is sort of like riding 2 bikes at the same time. The front and the rear being the 2 bikes. On the technical uphill though, this thing rocks like no other I have experienced.I got a deal being that it was an '07 model, but IF the '08 is fixed then that would have been the way to go. Still would have the flexy main frame problem.
This whole experience is proof that you can't trust inexperienced riders to give you information about complex products such as full suspension mounatin bikes. People I contacted about their bikes bave me the thumbs up about the '07 frame. They are totally oblivious of the rear pivot problem because of their lack of any kind of awareness or experience. Reviews that claim this or that are a bunch of crap 90% of the time. I've been riding for almost 14 years and just won my age group for the state series in expert category. With a mechanical engineering degree and a physics degree you decide which post you should give more weight.
Bottom line: Buy another brand!

Price Paid: $1200.00
Purchased At: Frankie Flats, Santa
Similar Products Used: I own a Cannondale Prophet and Carbon Rush.
Bike Setup: Fox G2 100mm fork with a 29" front wheel which raises the front end about 30mm from the speced bike. It has an almost 70 degree HA and the front end has no floppy (chopper) feeling.
Bike is speced out pretty nicely and weighs about 28 lbs.
Date Reviewed: May 30, 2008
Strengths: Light weight, durable, supple, and stiff
Weaknesses: Lots of pivots.
Bottom Line:
I purchased this frame because it does what they say it will do and that is cure all the drawbacks that keep hardtail riders off of full-suspension. First, this frame does NOT lock out. It is a fully active 5" travel full-suspension rig. The "Equilink" is the key. Except for this link the suspension design is like most available now with a double linkage, except the angles on the links are extreme. The "Equilink" ties these two linkages together in a way that completely eliminates chain input. Not kind-of, I mean COMPLETELY. With an RP23 shock in the full-open setting (no pro-pedal) it rides super smooth, and climbing is soooo easy. The harder you pedal, the harder the "Equilink" works to neutralize chain input leaving the suspension to do exactly what it should which is allow the tires to follow the trail. On steep climbs you can look down and see that the shock is working real hard, lots of movement, but it is NOT bob, it is ONLY trail input. I'll say it again, BOB IS GONE! The only time you get bob on this bike is when you leave the pro-pedal full open and spin a high cadence. This will cause the bike to bob a little due to reciprocating weight, not due to pedal-bob. This bike is a dream to ride. Super fast and way smooth. The only drawback is all those pivots need to be retorqued at regular intervals when the frame is new as the bearings will seat a little in their pockets with use. Easy to do though, because the torque specs are laser-etched on the caps. Go to a Felt dealer and try one of these bikes out. It is the unsung All-Mountain hero! Follow the instructions on the shock rocker for proper set-up and go have the ride of your life. I can tell you I'm converted. Jim Felt knew what he was doing here.

i bought this costume for my husband to match my female ghost costume for our very 1st USA halloween.I ended up sewing the hat onto the wig as they wouldnt stay together. The hat is quite flimsy so I sewed some of the hat brim to the actual hat to keep it up and a bit more steady. I cannot sew to save my life, so anyone can make these small alterations. I also recommend having some bobby pins around to pin the fringe back as it got free and messy as the night went on. We wore the costumes for 8 hours They held up well!

I'm 6'4" and the XL fit very well. My only complaint was the hat. It is so flimsy that we added card stock to the inside and also popped the stiches to reshape the hat. It looked so bad that if I had not been able to fix it, I wouldn't have worn it at all.

I just wore this costume for 2011 Halloween weekend and i was very impressed at how realistic everything looked once i had it all together. Got lots of compliments and even won a prize. The only drawback was that people kept stopping me in the street to take pictures with me.... awesome!! thank you guys for making a very good quality product. A bit on the pricey side but well worth it. THANK YOU

Nicely planned out to match the new Ghostly Lady which we also purchased to wear as our Re-Wedding outfits for our Halloween 5th Anniversary party. Love that it's gray and not white but the hat is flimsy and has no shape. Spent many a sleepless night trying to find a light gray or white hat to match the outfit. Purchased the French Aristocrat Wig in gray go with it and looks great.

Will Office for Mac 2011 have the same clipboard as the PC version of MS Office, lacking in Office Mac 2008? This problem has made me stop using Word
I am willing to pay for the most expensive version of Office for Mac 2011-12. However, I write many contracts and need to refer to a clipboard because many things in my contracts must use the copy/paste function and the lack of it (clipboard) on the Mac has caused me to work more on my PC (which I despise) than my Mac Pro, which I think is a superb instrument. Without the clipboard I am forced to waste time. Frankly, I am shocked that such a superb pice of machinery, so superior to the PC, would not have built it into the software, especially in Pages.

A few weeks ago, I was at a conference when I struck up a conversation with an older businessman. As we talked about the economy, I mentioned how it was really important for people to constantly adapt in an ever-changing world.
The businessman turned to me with a surprised look. "I've been with my wife for forty years, and I've worked at my company for the same amount of time. I know just about everything there is to know about what's important in my life. I don't really think stepping out of my comfort zone will teach me anything new that actually matters."
I disagree. The world around you is always changing. People change. Businesses change. What helps people make more money and lead better lives is their ability to discover and adapt to these changes. To do this, you need to step outside your comfort zone.
It isn't easy – after all, we're creatures of habit. We don't like change. With that in mind, let's start small. Here are eight baby steps to help you move out your comfort zone.

9/21/2010 HouseCallAutoWell I would not have Cadillac do it because the cost will be the most of anybody but I would get a second opinion on the cause of the leak and another estimate. Don't tell the next shop you go to that Cadillac said the R&P is bad or else they will simply agree and not do their own determination of the cause of your leak.9/21/2010 jackThanks! If it is the R&P can most shops replace it right? What is the best site to go on to find the part if it is the R&P?
9/22/2010 HouseCallAutoAutoPartswarehouse.com is a great site. When you look for the rack and pinion you have to know whether your CTS has or does not have soft-ride suspension. The three digit code is FE1. If this FE1 code is present on the service parts decal somewhere in your car (truck spare cover or glove box usually) then you do have it. If it is not there you do not have it. Here >> this will help >> http://www.google.com/imgres

9/15/2010 Oxidesthere are aftermarket solutions available that replace the air suspension.
Hi Oxides,
Thanks for the answer I have already ordered a set of aftermarket self pump up air shocks from Suncore that come with a set of resistors that apparently stop any messages on the dashboard, they should arrive today my query is if just replacing the shocks will cure the problem, as I alway's believed the springs held the car up and the shocks controlled the bounce as I mentioned in the main part of my question. I went with self pump up shocks so I can regulate the ride much in the same way as the original shocks did, as having such a large trunk I have overloaded the trunk in the past to the extent the the exhaust dragged as I drove out of a gas station with a sharp slope, I also have a house in Indiana that I am renovating as best I can (so I can sell my house in Oklahoma and get rid of the mortgage freeing up what little money my wife and I get from Social Security disability also it is alot cooler in the area of Indiana I own the house in summer heat in Oklahoma is getting too much for me) and have carried alot of hand machine tools etc., to work on the house there infact it was that last trip that made me realise I had a problem because I was blinding drivers coming the other way with my headlights on low beam making me stop and readjust them. In the past I used my old 1990 Chevy truck but it finally gave up on me after 468,000 miles making the Cadillac my only vehicle.

Esther Perchuk - 2000 Cadillac DeVille - Steering & Suspension - 9/15/2010Every day I need to add power steering fluid, otherwise I can't turn my car
My best suggestion to you is to get the leak fixed because if it is leaking as fast as having to top up daily you could end up burning out the power steering pump or worse yet having the fluid get on the exhaust pipe and catching the car on fire I have seen alot of Cadillacs in the scrap yards that have caught fire under the hood, I do know there is a recall on the fuel lines on the 1994 through 1996 which may have been the cause, but thin power steering fluid is very flammable.
Good luck,

2013 WC Winternationals Pro Rosters
2013 WC Winternationals Pro Rosters
By Jeremy Ellis Family Ties Back in 2009, I was headed back to the hotel from the rink in Mississauga. I was riding with three others, including one face that was new to the staff. He looked eerily familiar, like someone I had met before. It took a couple of minutes of discussion but we quickly figured it out.
