IG encourages USPS to follow private sector lead for benefit programs
Thursday - 5/29/2014, 4:11am EDT
By Stephanie Wasko
Special to Federal News Radio
In order to climb out of its traditional financial struggles, the Postal Service should consider renovating its decades-old benefits programs by moving to a modern, private-sector model.
It also should consider implementing contributory retirement plans similar to a 401(k), switching from categorized leave to a paid-time-off plan and reducing carry-over leave days.
These are a few of the recommendations in a new report from the USPS inspector general, which benchmarked the service's leave and retirement benefits programs against the private sector. Auditors reviewed six private and two government sector organizations.
The IG stated that the Postal Service incurred more than $47 billion in compensation and benefits expenses in fiscal year 2013. Of that, $6 billion came from retirement benefits.
"The Postal Service's retirement expense was about 12 percent of total annual compensation and benefits expenses in FYs 2011 through 2013," the report said. "In the private sector, retirement and savings benefits average 3.7 percent of total compensation and benefits costs."
All Postal Service employees fall under either the Civil Service Retirement System or the Federal Employees Retirement System. Under FERS, employees already have moved closer to the private sector. Employees control their investments through the Thrift Savings Plan and only a small portion of the retirement package is a defined benefit.
In the report, seven of the eight benchmarked organizations had transitioned from defined benefit pension plans to a 401(k) or 403(b) defined contribution plan. These organizations reported savings from $1 billion to $5 billion.
Benefits of moving away from a traditional retirement plan
The USPS IG said that by switching away from the traditional retirement plan to a contribution plan, employees take responsibility for their own retirement funds and companies avoid mounting pension debt.
"As workers become more mobile and transient throughout their careers, many organizations are adjusting their retirement benefits programs to cater to an evolving workforce and putting the employee in control of his or her financial future," auditors wrote.
Additionally, USPS could find more cost savings if it modernized its leave plan.
It still uses a traditional plan with categories for annual, personal, sick, military and holiday leave, which outdates the more simplified systems of many private-sector companies.
"Since 2000, four of the six private sector companies transitioned to a combined leave benefits program, consolidating leave into fewer categories. In addition, when they transitioned, two of those four reduced the overall number of leave days provided to employees," the report stated.
The IG found paid-time-off plans have become a popular move to reduce costs and the time employees are away from work. The PTO plans, similar to the contribution retirement plans, put more power in the hands of the employee and relieve some administrative duties.
"Employees no longer have to worry about classifying their time off, and the plans are simplified and easier for employers to track and manage," auditors wrote.
Cutting back on allowable carryover leave
In addition to minimizing leave buckets and days off, the IG suggested USPS decrease the amount of carryover leave permitted.
"Postal Service employees can carry over 55 or more days of annual leave each leave year, and employees are not limited by the amount of sick leave they can carry over," auditors wrote. "However, the benchmarked companies provided much more restrictive leave carryover. Limiting the leave employees can carry over decreases the money the company must pay out upon employee separation and reduces the money it must set aside to cover employee payments for these leave balances."
The IG said the Postal Service should look at the modernized benefit systems of the benchmarked organizations but also said the challenges specific to USPS when considering changing leave benefit programs include legal requirements concerning benefits, bargaining with employee unions, outdated technology and impact on employees.

"I was able to personalise the card and the team were very helpful. The delivery was fast and reliable. Product is gorgeous! LOVE IT and would use again and recommend!"
"Ordered these for my wedding in June. They turned our so lovely. Ordered them with black ink and with pearlescent paper. Going to add some sheer pink ribbon to dress these up even more! Very classy, clean and elegant. I received very quick and great service from WPD. Thanks for helping make my wedding day even more special!"
"I was very pleased with the level of customer service on creating these programs for our wedding. Unable to make headers myself, I asked WPD to make headlines and they did and it turned out beautifully. We also love the quality of the paper. We are so excited that this will be the first piece everyone sees on our wedding day."
"Not only did this product ship fast, but they look very nice! I placed the order for these programs(boldly elegant design) on September 30th. The next day, October 1st, I received the photo proof in my email of what the programs would look like after I designed them. I saw something I didn't like, so I fixed the proof and sent back my revisions. Within an hour, I got the revised order of the proof back from WPD and went ahead and finalized my order for shipment. WPD gave me an estimated delivery date of October 10th through the 14th. Well, on the afternoon of October 5th, I received a package from Fed Ex with a box that read "wedding paper divas". I couldn't believe how fast everything came and how great the quality is. Thanks WPD!"
"The programs are very vibrant & the paper is great quality! The consultants did everything I requested plus they allowed me to add a friends & family section to the back of the programs. This was my 3rd order with WPD and I have been extremely satisfied!"

Explanation generation, not explanation expectancy, improves metacomprehension accuracy

The ability to monitor the status of one's own understanding is important to accomplish academic tasks proficiently. Previous studies have shown that comprehension monitoring (metacomprehension accuracy) is generally poor, but improves when readers engage in activities that access valid cues reflecting their situation model (activities such as concept mapping or self-explaining). However, the question still remains as to which process, encoding or retrieving, causes the improvement of metacomprehension accuracy, and the findings of previous research on this matter have been inconsistent. This study examined whether college students' metacomprehension accuracy improves when they expect, at the time of reading, that they will explain the content later (active encoding) or when they actually generate an explanation (encoding plus active retrieving). In the experiments, college students read five texts. During reading, some students expected that they would generate explanations but did not actually generate them. In contrast, some students actually generated an explanation of the text after reading. All students then rated their comprehension of each text. Finally, they completed tests on the materials. Results of both studies revealed that metacomprehension accuracy, operationalized as the association between comprehension ratings and test performance, was greater for the group that actually generated explanations than for the expectancy or control groups.

K&N Typhoon Air Intake Kits
Built for performance and show, the Typhoon Air Intake System is a free-flowing mandrel-bent aluminum tube induction system designed to fit many sport compact performance vehicles. Each kit is proven on a dynamometer to increase horsepower and torque. Typhoon intakes come in one of three designs; cold air intakes (CA), short ram intakes (SR), or complete cold air (CCA) intakes which can be configured as either a cold air intake or a short ram intake. Available in an assortment of powder coated colors and polished aluminum, these kits are sure to please in every way. They come with an oversized High-Flow conical air filter designed to provide increased surface area and dust capacity. This extra surface area provides even more airflow at lower restriction than a standard K&N O/E replacement filter that is limited to the size of the factory air box. The oversize air filter also captures more dirt increasing the service life before a cleaning is required (up to 100,000 miles).
Honestly, I was a bit concerned at first after ordering this product. I had ordered it and gone a few days without eveni...

About Congestive Heart Failure in Dogs
The makers of Vetmedin(R) - a break-through prescription drug now available in the United States to treat canine congestive heart failure - organized the Midwest Mobile Dog Heart Health Tour to teach people about congestive heart failure (CHF) in dogs.
While there is no cure for CHF, clinical study results have shown that dogs with the condition live nearly twice as long and enjoy a higher quality of life when treated with Vetmedin.

A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones Spoiler-Filled Discussion

Re: A Song of Ice and Fire/Game of Thrones Spoiler-Filled Discussion
Yeah a non-political work still gets into murky waters when you have all the good guys as white and anyone with a darker skintone works for the Lord of Evil. I don't think LoTR is totally ruined by racism or something (especially as Sauron's human allies are mostly a sideshow) but it's got some issues we'd be rather critical of if someone tried to write that kind of thing today.
I don't think fantasy writers have blanket immunity from any responsibility to be careful around social issues. Especially in settings that draw on real-life places and cultures. Fantasy worlds like GoT still have something of our world, and thus can't help reflecting something of the writers views of the world. And images and ideas they put forward can shape in turn how we think about our world.
re summer islanders. I've only just started on book four and have hardly seen anything of them so can't really comment too much. One in a a feather cape startling some people who have probably barely ever even met a black guy doesn't sound like a big deal.
re: essos in more general, it honestly looks like rather a pick and mix. The Dothraki look pretty savage but we frequently see plenty of savagery in westeros, and through the Hound's opinions we get a critique of the hypocrisy of western knights. ie they're meant to be morally upstanding heroes but they're really just violent guys with swords. Dany meanwhile is playing white liberator of non-white cities but as I understand it that goes
really really badly
so the narrative is hardly endorsing her.
tl:dr: I reject Dalekjim's "it's only escapism" as a cop-out but GoT hasn't really thrown any major red-flags at me so far.
[edit]It would be good to see a non-white culture that isn't based around either loot'n'pillage or slavery. But again I think one of the key points here is that Westeros looks more civillised at first glance but is in fact full of its own kind of barbarity. I mean, burning and murdering of the smallfolks seems a fairly regular pastime for warring lords. The riverlands are pretty fucked and all. Also the summer islands are supposed to be very peaceful, as I recall?

Jonathan Schwartz, Host
In the California desert there is (or was) a restaurant called Sorentino's. Sinatra took me to dinner, with a few others, one evening
in 1988. Jimmy Van Heusen was there, seated next to me. Old then, but still profane and droll at the same time, he remained the closest pal Sinatra ever had. He was also a friend of mine, which is why Sinatra sat us side by side.
My girl friend Sally Keeble was given a seat next to Sinatra. She was 30, alluring, and naturally funny. Frank had met her before, in New York, and had found himself in genuine laughter. And now, four years later, he had placed her next to him, across the table from his wife, Barbara, the one time partner of Zeppo Marx. Heavily painted and decorated, Mrs. Frank Sinatra, glacial, and, well, threatening, appeared to me as a dangerous presence. Her tongue lay quietly in her mouth, loaded with venom and disapproval.
I drank a bit, two whiskies, as I recall, and caught Sally's eye. For a quick moment she pointed to a piano on the other side of the large private dining room, and then turned to continue a conversation with Sinatra that I had listened to a bit of when it had begun, a few minutes earlier. I thought that it was possible, just possible, that he'd take her home with him, despite Mrs. Frank Sinatra, and that she'd go with him, besotted. For a moment, I felt abjectly alone, like the night my mother died in my presence, thirty-five years earlier.
But the piano. Sally had clearly suggested that I play. Sinatra was telling her a long story about Tommy Dorsey that hadn't gained traction for me. I stood. Sinatra kept talking to Sally. He mentioned Buddy Rich, a name Sally pretended to know. "Buddy Rich," I said to Sinatra, to gain his engagement with what I was planning.
At the piano, I created a Sinatra suite of three songs that included his name as one of the writers, songs that only Frank would recognize, with the strong exception of the third. The suite was slow, played softly, in and out of minor keys that the songs all lacked ; a kind of "Wee Small Hours" made of "Mr. Success", "Mistletoe and Holly", and "This Love Of Mine". Maybe seven minutes of this sad little suite. Then, without fuss or fanfare, I went back to the table. As I sat down, Sinatra caught my eye. Do you know what he did? He nodded at me, with a slight suggestion of a smile, a sign that I knew from Van Heusen was a sign of affirmation. I would tell Sally Keeble all about it late that night, at home, in bed.
"He LIKED IT," I said.
"You pleased him," Sally said.
"Did he say that to you?" I asked.
"Not a word," she said.
"Nothing?" I said. "Nothing. But he did stop talking to me midway through your little performance."
"Do you think I should record it and send it to him?" I asked.
"Do you want to lose him?" Sally said.
"What a funny name, Keeble," I said. "Peculiar, you know?"
As I remember, she nodded.
A charming tale...but I half expected a little more about Mr. Babcock (aka J Van Heusen).
Nevertheless, as ever,well done!
I love this story and all the stories our dear, brilliant, sensitive, talented Jonathan tells!
These lines capture Sinatra so well:
"Nothing?" I said. "Nothing. But he did stop talking to me midway through your little performance."
Graceful, understated language that captures the moment so well. I could just see it. Kudos!
This haunting story makes me wonder--hopefully-- if another memoir is in the works by one of our most gifted storytellers, Jonathan.
As usual, a great tale with a creative yet spare use of the language. I should try to adopt this style for my weathercasting. But it would frighten the producers.
Enjoyed that thanks.....Frank sure didn't hand out much praise. I think the most approval Nelson ever got was a slight nod of the head!
A venomous Mrs. Sinatra painted and decorated with a few under her belt. That really is terrifying. Great little story.
This is a gem.
So glad to be reunited with your show, listen every day.

Do cheap pre-paid (almost disposable) Tracfone/Net10 phones exist in Italy?
We're a frugal family and have great success with Net10 phones from Walmart... we pay about $15 a month for a phone which works well for us. They are so cheap now that for 30 bucks you get 300 minutes for two months of airtime and the phone is actually free!
Does such a product exist in Italy/France? We only need a mobile phone solution for two weeks and was hoping something like this might work for us.
My company may need to contact us from the States if there is an emergency and plus it would just be nice to have a cell phone abroad.
I've been reading RS Helpline posts re: cell phones and it seems the consensus is to buy an unlocked phone and a pre-paid SIM card rather than renting.

recommendations for a pet first aid kit?
I have an emergency kit in the truck that doubles as an "I think I'll camp here for a couple of days" kit. In the kit is a daypack that I put essentials in for day hikes. I'd like to add a doggy first aid kit to the people first aid kit. I could just combine them I guess, but my OCD wants to keep things neat. Here's what I have so far:
Disposable shavers (to make it easier to clean/bandage wounds)
Benadryl (for bug bites-vet says 2 pills for 60 lb. dog)
Immodium (for Diarrhea, who wants that in the back of the Tahoe?)
Self-sticking wrap "vet wrap" and gauze
Antibiotic ointment
Acepromazine (doggie valium) from vet
Superglue (to close minor lacerations)
I don't have anything for snakebites yet, most of our hikes are in the desert
What else am I missing?
Probably not what you had in mind, but I used to keep a packet of critter formula and a bottle of water along with a syringe in my car...just in case I discovered an orphan ;)
Don't forget the Hydrogen Peroxide. LE K9 units carry it as an ematic(sp) makes the dog puke. Useful if they injest some type of poison.

Put your e-books on a shelf with Digital Library Wallpaper
June 4, 2014 | 5:42 pm
By Chris Meadows
One of the problems paper bibliophiles often cite in e-books is that you can't show off your e-book collection on your shelves. It's all hidden inside a computer. But Engaget reports that Vodaphone Romania has found a clever way around that as part of its own e-book lending program. which it calls Digital Library Wallpaper. Customers can go to Vodaphone's web site, pick out the books they want, and then have a big wallpaper "shelf" printed that has book decorations and scannable QR codes on it so that they, or their friends who are visiting, can load the books onto their devices for reading.
The YouTube video with the project paints it as a great way to put a "bookshelf" in a limited-space area such as a crowded dorm room. And it does at least have the benefit of putting all your e-books in a full-sized bookshelf-style environment where you or anyone else can see what you have, rather than the dinky little skeuomorphic display on your tablet.
Of course, given that the program is located in Romania, with a bunch of Romanian-language books, it wouldn't be that useful for most people. (I should point it out to my Romanian friend, though.) And there is the problem that you can't change the arrangement of books on your shelf without requesting a brand new sheet of wallpaper.
Still, as a concept, there's no reason this idea necessarily needs to be limited to Vodaphone's program. Someone could probably hack up a Calibre plugin that would generate a graphic representation of your library with QR URLs that point to the books' locations on your local Calibre server. You could print it out on one of those humongous blueprint printers at your local copy shop, and then tape it up to your wall like a poster. (And you could always print out another one when you have more books.) Or maybe the calibre2opds people could come up with something that could put in URLs to your OPDS-on-Dropbox library instead.
Maybe someone should get on that.

I was intrigued to see those "library wallpapers" at first — they're plastered all over the big metro stations. Unfortunately the available books are way outside my range of interests: all literary fiction and such. I must confessed not even trying to download a book, despite my curiosity. In fact, I never saw anyone as much as stopping to read the titles. Too bad, the concept is fun.

Practice for Smarter Targets
View Single Post
Join Date: Aug 2007

Great discussion, in this and other threads, which I have been silently following - thanks all.
I played a friendly set with a 4.5 USTA player and tried playing to smart targets. I lost 6-4. But this exposed some major weaknesses in my game that my opponent took advantage of, and pointed out areas where I need to do some work.
First of all, even though I landed my shots approximately right, I sent the balls straight into my opponent's power zone (he's 6'3"), and he was hitting them back DTL. The tactic was right, but I needed to hit with more zip, and I think that will come with practice - I was definitely being too mindful of the target and too cautious with my stroke as a result.
The second problem was my movement... I think I spent so much time looking at my handiwork that I didn't recover in time to respond to the DTL shots well, and couldn't take advantage of the open court.
The lesson here for me is that good technique, including movement and recovery, is essential for implementing the smart targets tactic well. We take this for granted in pros, and almost never notice how quickly they recover to a good position - of course, it takes a lot of effort to do this like clockwork after every shot!
A third problem was that the court was very fast, and the ball kept lower than usual - I like higher bouncing courts where I can get more power and spin. This was taking some zip out of my shots, I am sure. And my opponent clearly realized this, and he was slicing many of his shots really low, making it hard for me to change direction even on inside balls. Perhaps I should have hit the difficult ones back to where they came from... oh well, live and learn, I suppose.
Anyway, I am quite excited since I have some new goals now... it's great to have something new to work on.

A Condition Census Example of the Very Rare 1856-D Quarter Eagle, MS61 NGC1856-D $2 1/2 MS61 NGC. Variety 19-M. The only variety of this year.
The 1856-D quarter eagle is among the most numismatically significant issues from this mint. It is the only Dahlonega gold coin ever produced with an original mintage figure of less than 1,000 pieces, and it is the single rarest issue from this mint in terms of the total number known in all grades. It is also an issue that is notorious for being among the most poorly produced United States gold coins of any era.
Virtually every known 1856-D has a flat appearance with a somewhat concave "look." For collectors who are unfamiliar with this issue, most coins, even if they are original, seem cleaned. This makes the 1856-D quarter eagle a difficult issue to accurately grade.
The present example shows a slightly better than average strike. The denticles on both sides are more fully formed than usual, while the wings and the reverse legend are fairly bold as well. On the obverse, there is decided weakness on the curls around the face and below the ear of Liberty. This weakness extends to the center of the reverse, which has a somewhat sunken appearance. The surfaces show some mint-made roughness, and there is a small spot below the eagle's beak. Both sides have a slight amount of luster and are overlaid with lemon-gold hues that are even and consistent.
Of the 874 pieces produced, it seems unlikely that more than 50 examples are known. This includes many unattractive, lower grade pieces. There are around 10 coins known in AU, as well as a few with claims to a Mint State grade. As mentioned above, this is an incredibly difficult issue to grade--a piece that one expert calls MS61 might be regarded by another as AU55.
In the Green Pond Sale, a PCGS MS60 example of this date sold for $69,000, which is apparently a record price for an 1856-D.
The Duke's Creek example is certainly one of the better 1856-D quarter eagles seen and is listed on the most recent Condition Cen(Registry values: P2) (NGC ID# 25J9, PCGS# 7779)

Other than the student's claim, do we have any evidence that the student was suspended? Was he suspended in writing? Does the student say who suspended him? Was it verbal? Was it on the phone? Phone message? Any witnesses to the suspension?
Really, why should spend so much time on this story? Just because someone posted it here?

Look, the student claimed he was "suspended". Many here have expressed doubts. School denied it. Lets see if he would provide evidence or at least description of his "suspension."
In short, it's nonsense to think that Christians are picked on or singled out because they are Christian- because of the nature of the religion itself. Rather you live in the Western world, and in that world when religious meddling is encountered it is overwhelmingly Christian in origin. When you hear resistance, it is naturally directed at Christians.
White, Christian males still have a huge power advantage in this country, yet we must absurdly suffer that group wailing about oppression and victimization. Do they really think we'll believe that "the man" is keeping them down, when they are very much still "the man." Perhaps whining is just en vogue these days.

Here's some more from the article,
"The "Notice of Charges" against Ryan Rotela is contrary to a statement the university released late Friday night saying no one had been disciplined as a result of the classroom activity.
"We can confirm that no student has been expelled, suspended or disciplined by the university as a result of any activity that took place during this class," the university said in a prepared statement.
However, according to a letter written by Associate Dean Rozalia Williams, Rotela is facing a litany of charges – including an alleged violation of the student code of conduct, acts of verbal, written or physical abuse, threats, intimidation, harassment, coercion or other conduct which threaten the health, safety or welfare of any person."
"In the interim, you may not attend class or contact any of the students involved in this matter – verbally or electronically – or by any other means," Williams wrote to Rotela. "Please be advised that a Student Affairs hold may be placed on your records until final disposition of the complaint."
Hiram Sasser, director of litigation at the Liberty Institute, told Fox News the university's behavior is "outlandish" and called their press release "inaccurate."
"We believe the university punished him in retaliation for him exposing the class assignment to the public," Sasser said. "Sadly, it is a testimony to the indoctrination that some of the public schools and universities are engaging in – to demonize anything that was valuable in the culture."
Hmm, I wonder who the liar is?

From 9 March, 2013 to 14 April, 2013
Opening 9 March, 2013 from 6pm to 9pm
Gianfranco BOTTO and Roberta BRUNO were born in Turin in 1963 and 1966 respectively. Their work deals with the urban environment, focusing especially on the suburbs and abandoned industrial areas. BOTTO E BRUNO prove their talent by the diversity of their work including, photography, drawing, collage, video, and music and their excellent achievements. They have had notable exhibitions in many institutions including The Foundation Teseco for art in Pisa, the BF 15 in Lyon and Geneva Mamco.
For the upcoming exhibition, Gallery Magda Danysz gives an overwhelming amount of support to this artistic duo. Upon entering the gallery the audience is automatically confronted with the environment of the artists whereby the external world dissolves. The audience is faced with a pair of used sneakers with twirls of writing emerging from the sneakers. The motif of text in their work highlights the importance of words in their creations. BOTTO E BRUNO line the walls with multiple sheets made from crumpled paper painted in black ink. They sketch a landscape that is rooted in the city - we recognize the silhouette of tall buildings – yet their sketches are extremely fragile due to the lightness of the mediums that they use. BOTTO E BRUNO juxtapose collage, paint, newspaper, songs and pictures to compile their work. The exchange between the different techniques disappears completely upon the completing of the image and the boundary between urban space and nature takes possession the piece.
Combining the text, images and photographs, BOTTO E BRUNO suggest their own experience of the city. They are proposing to us to look at the image from a point of view perspective. The installation explores the process one goes through to follow dive in the understanding of the images from this new environment.

theres an upcoming fragance that will be called " boss night" ... sure for the autumn...
Thread: Hugo Boss Bottled Night
Since it is not an item we are aware of its existence,then...
We are free to make a guess...
theres an upcoming fragance that will be called " boss night" ... sure for the autumn...
Boss Bottled.Night. will be unveiled next week, and this is first photos from the advertising campaign.
Ryan Reynolds doing that ad?
May I admit I considered it to be a blatant fake?
Will this also be an Annick Menardo creation?
Oh, and can someone link to an article or info regarding this release? thanks
EDIT: Here's what I've found so far... http://www.osmoz.com/News-Trends/New...e-of-Hugo-Boss
Last edited by Shaheen; 2nd May 2010 at 04:51 AM.
As I said the full information about the release will be soon. But this will be creation of P&G team and, unfortunately, not Menardo's.
It seems to be truth!! I'm looking forward to try it indeed, but I'll hold my horses untill I try!
Top notes are lavender and birch; middle notes are violet; base notes are woodsy notes.
now we can all smell like Deadpool lol
nice one
Last edited by _FP_; 6th May 2010 at 09:23 PM. Reason: the quote haven't work lol
I have a feeling I'm gonna like this one, could be I'm wrong, errare humanum est, but really if the main concept of this is Boss Bottled wich I like, there is a chance for this one...
Can't see much of an upside to featuring him unless they plan on letting Scarlett sneak into the ad campaign.
Last edited by Desmond Hume; 7th May 2010 at 10:25 AM.
The link's not working for me, but legit ebay shops often put new releases up for sale before they're actually available - an established and legit UK 'bay shop I use frequently were taking orders for Aramis Cool Blend a week or more before it was released.
Eouch, violet, what a shame...
Just kidding. Doesn't surprise that certain note doesn't appeal to some people. I don't know wich note in particular upsets me, but I do know that it is Dior Fahrenheit that makes me gag, Fahrenheit Absolute is fabulous to me and if I'm not mistaken, it's most prominent notes are violet and incense.
Violet note does seem to show up quite often lately...
i love the original bottled, to me is unique, comfortable, versatile and very attractive to women. Im very curious to try it !
The making of TV-commercial
Hugo Boss Bottled. NIght. If you open the bottle, Hugo Boss will pop up, since he's been bottled. At night only, that's the meaning of the other bit.
Bad name choice, IMO!
finally the commercial.
I smelled this the other day. It's in Debenhams and Boots stores here in Ireland. I wasn't expecting much and yet it still managed to disappoint. It smelled like nothing really. I couldn't really detect a single note as such, just a sort of generic men's edt smell. Sort of an alcochol smell, with nothing else of note. Awful stuff.
Very "Boss" scent, done in the best traditions of Boss/Hugo. I used Hugo Dark Blue long time ago, and now it is not available to compare with, but the first think that came in my head when I tried Boss Bottled.Night was: "Dark Blue!". I can be wrong, but I'm sure that the character of the juice and the specific 'Boss" note in the Night are the same as in the Dark Blue.
Boss Bottled.Night is like the mix of previous Boss scents (Selection, Hugo Element) based on Hugo Dark Blue and original Boss Bottled. It starts powdery and spicy, then becomes fresher and flowery. And finally appears that "Boss" synthetic note - something green and sweet. But the result is complex, the fragrance is modern and, I'm sure, most of men and women could find it sexy. Boss Bottled.Night is not original, but it's the best development of Boss/Hugo/Baldessarini theme for at least last 10 years.
Had a try at a department store of this fragrance. Nothing special. What's with 2010 releases so far...Bleu de Chanel...now this...sigh
Verdict: Stick to the original Boss Bottled aka Boss No.6
It reminds me of Obsession Night PH and Beckham Night - but doesn't quite last as long. I didn't think much of it the first half hour I tested it, then thought it was pretty good for a few hours, then it sort of disappeared.
I'm not sure what pupose Boss Bottled Night serves. I've mainly always worn the regular Boss Bottled at night - never thought it a day scent.
P.S. - I wonder if we'll ever get morning versions of scents?
Tried it today. I don't think there's any violet in it. The first woosh is great - sort of fresh and spicy - if only it lasted! (birch leaf and cardamom). It fades quickly into a generic pleasant clean smell. One word I wouldn't use to describe it is distinctive.
I've finally figured out why I don't 'Bottled Night'. It's too sweet for a masculine fragrance and rather generic. Imagine standing in queue for a Spanish seaside disco on a warm summer evening at 11.00 pm and the smell from all the freshly sprayed youngsters, male and female, blended into one generic pleasant fragrance - That's 'Bottled Night'

Italy claimed a 27-10 bonus-point win against the USA in Nelson to keep their quarter-final hopes alive.
To reach the play-offs, Nick Mallett's men have to beat Ireland in Dunedin on Sunday, and prevent their opponents from getting a bonus point. The Irish currently have 13 log points followed by Australia and Italy with 10 each (the Wallabies will almost certainly get another five against Russia).
Italy made the perfect start to their penultimate pool fixture when captain Sergio Parisse dived in under the posts in the third minute. They should have scored again soon after when fullback Luke McLean sent a grubber down the touchline, but right wing Tommaso Benvenuti knocked on in the dead-ball area.
The USA levelled the scores at the end of the first quarter when their backs got quick ball from the tail-end of a lineout. Outside centre Paul Emerick broke through two poor tackles and sent fullback Chris Wyles away for the try.
Italy were dominating up front, thanks to Man of the Match Martin Castrogiovanni, and a collapsed scrum allowed Mirco Bergamasco to kick a penalty, although that was soon cancelled out by one from Wyles.
With a bonus point for four tries non-negotiable, Italy put a kickable penalty into touch, won the lineout and a few phases later flyhalf Luciano Orquera sliced through the defence to score. Castrogiovanni then crashed over in the final play of the half to make it 20-10.
The Italian pack continued to dominate after the break and as the game entered the final quarter the USA conceded a string of penalties at scrum time, 5m out from their tryline. Eventually, the referee had enough and USA flank Louis Stanfill was sent to the sin bin.
The American scrum disintegrated again just before Stanfill's return and the penalty try gave Italy the crucial bonus point.

TACOMA -- A district Court of Appeals has ruled that Kitsap County prosecutors can continue their case against a man accused of providing access to a gun to his then-girlfriend's 9-year-old son, who then took the weapon to school.
The gun accidentally went off at the school in February 2012, critically injuring fellow student Amina Kocer-Bowman.
The boy told investigators he had taken the gun off a dresser at Douglas Bauer's Allyn home. He said there were other unsecured firearms in the home, which police confirmed in a search of the home.
Bauer is charged with third-degree assault in the shooting. Defense attorney Wayne Fricke has argued that Bauer did nothing to cause the assault, and that allowing the case to proceed could set a dangerous precedent.
Kitsap County Deputy Prosecutor Jeremy Morris has said that if the third-grader hadn't had "unfettered access" to firearms, the shooting at Armin Jahr Elementary in Bremerton wouldn't have happened.
Appeals court judges Joel Penoyar and Jill Johanson voted to allow the charge to proceed. Courts can discern the difference between giving a child access to, for example, a butcher knife and a hand grenade, they wrote in the decision released Friday.
The viability of such cases would be evaluated on whether the parents' actions were "at least a gross deviation from a normally careful person's conduct," the judges wrote.
Retired judge C.C. Bridgewater, a guest on the panel that heard oral arguments in the November appeal, dissented. "Even in the face of tragedy, this is a case involving potential criminal liability and imprisonment," he wrote. "As such, we are bound to strictly construe the law, not to stretch it to fit the exigencies of the situation."
Bauer will appeal the ruling to the state Supreme Court, Fricke said. If the Supreme Court doesn't overturn Friday's decision, the case will return to Kitsap County Superior Court for a jury trial.
State law says someone whose criminal negligence "causes bodily harm to another person by means of a weapon or other instrument" is guilty of third-degree assault."
Kocer-Bowman underwent multiple surgeries. The bullet remains lodged in her spine.

Seems to be missing the safety knob as well, and I'm sure a firing pin spring. It also is a late war/ last ditch rifle. I was given a last ditch that was missing the above parts I mentioned, and I did buy the parts, but can't remember where. The markings after the serial# tell you what plant it was made in, IIRC.
I'm sickened by all religions. Religion has divided people. I don't think there's any difference between the pope wearing a large hat and parading around with a smoking purse and an African painting his face white and praying to a rock.

Senna Leaf Tea
100% Organic
Used As Laxative
Combined With Aromatic Herbs
Today senna is a commonly used as a laxative and is found as an active ingredient in products such as Senokot, Fletcher's Castoria, and Ex-Lax Gentle Nature. Senna can be found growing naturally in most tropical regions of the world. Both its leaves and its seeds are medicinal. Senna is able to relieve constipation by stimulating the colon, whereby speeding along the passage of the contents. Consequently, there is less time for fluid to be absorbed from the stool and it remains soft. Many individuals claim that preparing senna as a cold tea produces less resin in the tea, whereby decreasing the likelihood of abdominal cramps.

Location was convenient; price at $-- per night reasonable. Bed was comfortable; bathroom set up was nice. Fridge & microwave in room also a big plus. Room & hallways very clean. Hotel was quiet. TV was very nice. Free internet.
Breakfast very meager; went down at 8:30 & most food was gone & gravy was cold. The eating area was too small. Our room door didn't shut & lock automatically. Ice machine on 3rd floor did not work. Not enough towels or wash cloths.
It was clean and quiet. Thank you so much...
Nothing to complain about.
It was clean and quiet.
We had issues with the Jacuzzi and went down to talk to the staff and she had left and wasn't back for a hour
there was a refrigerator and microwave in the room.
There was no trash bags in the trash cans and the channel selection for the tv was crappy. Also the heater didnt work properly.
The bed..Mattress was really comfortable
Very small pool, whirlpool was not working, booked two rooms but there were not together. Staff could not handle the request to give the room together..breakfast place is small..average hot breakfast
Room was as expected. Liked the simple fact that there were outlets (and USBs) available for charging.
Would have liked a desk lamp that did not light up the entire room
The room was very cleanStaff was pleasant
The pool was rented out for a bday party so was crowded with children running and screaming and throwing balls. The fitness equip was soaked as children went from pool to fitness room to climb and play on equipment. The hallways and elevator were soaked.
The beds were very comfy and the facility was very nice. We were able to get a rollaway in our room very promptly and the kids spent a lot of time in the pool/hot tub. They were very happy with the temp of the pool.
Our room was very cold when we checked in. The lights and appliances were not plugged in and the heat was not turned on. It was a cold day and we had to wear our coats in the room until it heated up.
I like how it is so close to the college and staff is very friendly.
We had to be transferred to another hotel. There was only one room available on the second floor and there was no elevator. I was traveling with a 90 year old woman and it was not accessible.
convenient location, reasonably priced, fridge and microwave,
Handy to get places. Most are close by, very nice, . Ww
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car hires can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
