Indy Park Ride and FlyRead MorePark Ride & Fly USA's car caretakers protect vacationing cars within 24-hour, well-lit parking lots near airports in more than 30 states. After dropping off their automobiles, customers can transport themselves and their luggage to the airport aboard one of the company's complimentary shuttles or human-size hamster balls. While away, patrons rest easy knowing that their steel steeds are safe within fenced lots that are monitored by 24-hour surveillance. At many locations, shuttles also swing by the terminal to pick up returning travelers and reunite them with their respective vehicles, which are first freed of cloud-based artillery, including snow or recently rained molasses.3875 Plainfield RdIndianapolis, IN US
Wheel Fun Rentals IndianapolisRead MoreEagle Creek Outfitters doles our an array of watercraft such as sailboats, kayaks, and canoes, all of which can be used to explore a 1,400-acre lake. Paddle programs, from either kayaks or canoes, are held weekly on Wednesdays at night. During these programs, an experienced guide leads guests around the reservoir, divulging its stories and history while paddlers enjoy the sites and sounds of the area. All gear and instruction is provided.7602 Walnut Point RoadIndianapolis, IN US
Denison ParkingRead MoreLocated about a block away from Lucas Oil Stadium, the Pan Am Plaza Parking Garage grants shelter to vehicle-owning fans while taking in the Colts game at the stadium or a neighboring establishment. Fans can park in the garage any time of day on Sunday, November 6, when the Colts rear up to square off against the Atlanta Falcons at 1 p.m. in either a football match or a debate over which is the better symbol of the American frontier. Head to the nearby garage after the game to attempt to beat the traffic, or stay downtown for the day to celebrate a victory on the field. There is no time limit on parking, but drivers must remove their parked vehicles or portable living rooms from the premise at some point on November 6.36 South Pennsylvania StreetIndianapolis, IN US
Easy Airport ParkingRead MoreEasy Airport Parking offers safe haven to cars whose owners are bound for Indianapolis International Airport. Drivers silence engines in a valet lane and exchange keys or ignition-lodged screwdrivers for a claim check, relinquishing vehicles to employees who steer them into a standard or oversize spot. They then hop aboard a shuttle bus that drops off at terminals within 5 or 10 minutes. Since the buses run 24 hours a day, jet setters can call for a pickup as soon as they return, no matter the hour. The parking lot is also open all day and night, with security fences, cameras, and guards watching over roadsters and keeping patrons' personal chauffeurs from escaping. For an additional fee, cars can freshen up with a wash.5773 W Washington St.Indianapolis, IN US

Former Maharashtra Cabinet Minister Narayan Rane said here on Thursday that upon his meeting with Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi he informed him of the reason behind his resignation from the Maharshtra Cabinet.
"It's my job to have trust on him. I haven't been given any assurance. I went to give him all the information regarding my complaints. He said that he will be meeting Sonia Gandhi and whatever discussion will take place and whatever decision will be taken, that will be conveyed to me," said Rane.
Earlier today, Rane had visited Rahul Gandhi's residence. The visit was held post his resignation from Maharashtra Cabinet on July 21, which he had submitted to the state Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan on grounds of being upset with the party for not giving him the top post.
Before the resignation he had stated that he would continue to be a member of the Congress Party.
Rane had joined the Congress after he quit the Shiv Sena in 2005. He had served as Chief Minister for nine months while in Shiv Sena in 1999, when the NDA government was at the helm of affairs in Maharashtra.
In 2005, soon after joining the Congress, he was inducted as a minister in the Vilasrao Deshmukh government.

Meeting Energy Demand in the 21st Century:
Many Challenges and Key Questions
GAO-05-414T: Published: Mar 16, 2005. Publicly Released: Mar 16, 2005.

Plentiful, relatively inexpensive energy has been the backbone of much of modern America's economic prosperity and the activities that essentially define our way of life. The energy systems that have made this possible, however, are showing increasing signs of strain and instability, and the consequences of our energy choices on the natural environment are becoming more apparent. The reliable energy mainstay of the 20th century seems less guaranteed in the 21st century. As a nation, we have witnessed profound growth in the use of energy over the past 50 years--nearly tripling our energy use in that time. Although the United States accounts for only 5 percent of the world's population, we now consume about 25 percent of the energy used each year worldwide. Looking into the future, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that U.S. energy demand could increase by about another 30 percent over the next 20 years. To aid the subcommittee as it evaluates U.S. energy policies, GAO agreed to provide its views on energy supplies and energy demand as well as observations that have emerged from its energy work. This testimony is based on GAO's published work in this area, conducted in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards, and on EIA's Annual Energy Review, 2003 and its Annual Energy Outlook, 2005.
America's demand for energy has, in recent decades, outpaced its ability to supply energy. As a result, the country has witnessed rapid price increases and volatility in some markets, such as gasoline, and reliability problems in others, such as electricity, where the blackout in 2003 left millions in the dark. Given these recent and sometimes persistent problems, as well as concerns about the impacts of energy consumption on air, water, and other natural resources, there is a growing sense that action is needed. Today, fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) provide about 86 percent of our total energy consumption, with the rest coming from nonfossil sources such as nuclear (8 percent) and renewables, such as hydroelectric energy and wind power (6 percent). Overall, the majority of the nation's energy consumption is met by domestic production. However, imports of some fuels have risen. For example, over the past 20 years, imports--primarily oil and natural gas--have doubled, and in 2003 these imports comprised about one-third of total domestic energy consumption. Imports are expected to increase still further in order to meet future domestic consumption. In light of the current and expected levels of imports, the United States is, and will increasingly be, subject to global market conditions, with the transportation sector especially affected. Global markets may face future difficulties in meeting the growing energy demands of developed nations while also meeting the demands of the developing world, particularly considering the explosive growth in some economies, such as China's and India's. If world supplies for some fuels do not keep pace with world demand, energy prices could rise sharply. GAO believes that a fundamental reexamination of the nation's energy base and related policies is needed and that federal leadership will be important in this effort. To help frame such a reexamination, we offer three broad crosscutting observations. First, regarding demand, the amount of energy that needs to be supplied is not fate, but our choice. Consumers, whether businesses or individuals, choose to use energy because they want the services that energy provides, such as automated manufacturing and advanced computer technologies. Accordingly, consumers can play an important role in using energy wisely, if encouraged to adjust their usage in response to changes in prices or other factors. Second, all of the major fuel sources--traditional and renewable--face environmental, economic, or other constraints or trade-offs in meeting projected demand. Consequently, all energy sources will be important in meeting expected consumer demand in the next 20 years and beyond. Third, whatever federal policies are chosen, providing clear and consistent signals to energy markets, including consumers, suppliers, and the investment community, will help them succeed. Such signals help consumers to make reasoned choices about energy purchases and give energy suppliers and the investment community confidence that policies will be sustained, reducing investment risk.

For me, the sexiest fragrances for men are Armani Mania and Rush from Gucci.
I personally love the smell of 212 MEN. It is very masculine, but it's not overwhelming. You can't go wrong with 212.
Something I like to smell on men is 212 MEN brand. It really appeals to me.

Joop Homme...I love it when my hubby wears it !!!
For me, a good smelling guy is attractive in it's own right-- Ralph Lauren Black and Bond No. 9 Wall Street
I loooooooooove Aqua di Gio on my man...
I love 212 Men, John Varvatos, Issey Miyake, JPG Le Male, Gendarme, Lolita Lempicka au Masculin
Guerlain's Vetiver is my fave fragrance on a man. it's never 'wrong.'
Old Spice without question- and only enough on that you have to be close to smell it. or Roger & Gallet Jean Marie Farina mmm clean manliness.
I asked my wife which scent smelled best on me. Her answer:
I fished for a different answer. I got one:
Brush your teeth!
I kind of gave up at that point.
im pretty new to this
from the uk and a student...i went to my local boots store and tested out a few perfumes
Joop Go
Joop Jump
Sean John - Unforgivable
Burberry Touch
they all seemed really nice but I really liked burberry touch and unforgivable, but i need your opinions
now i dont know which one to choose
for the girls... which one of these would really intrigue you and basically push your buttons
lukin forward to your opinions and replies
Chrome! I don't know what it is, but I adore this scent on every guy, it just works for me. Though I had one ex who wore Roma and Jill Sanders sun (alternating of course) and I never smelled anyone who smelled better..
I don´t know much about malescents, but I do think that a scent, that fits to a mans personality can make him more appealing. It would have to be spicy, warm (not sweet), and a little freeminded and very
masculine at the same time.
Try Oriental Fougeres!
Here's the deal,
The hunt for the "perfect" perfume is all about finding your signature fragrance or in rare cases; fragrances. I'm confident in that there is one out there that fits you better than any other, and it's up to you to find it. When you reach your goal, you won't be asking any questions anymore, similar to when you fall in love. Maybe it seems a bit too romantic, but after all; scents stimulates our senses and beauty in all it's differnet shapes should never be underestimated.
The journey demands an open mind and a good attunement and understanding of your personality. Easy as it might seem on the paper it's harder to pull off in reality. The reason for that is the fact that we are constantly giving others opinions far more credit than we give our own. You do wise in asking others, but when it comes down to it you have to value your own taste and more than often agree to disagree.
There is no one easier to tell than a person who desperatly seeks attention from the other or the same sex, whether he or she uses flashy colognes, fast sportcars, expensive clothes, giganticly sized jewerly etc. And there is no one more delightful than a person who knows himself. These things always shines through and it's a joy everytime I meet someone who emits self confidence with a touch of humbleness.

"- Harry, I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange."
My wife buys me Passion for Men by Elizabeth Taylor. She LOVES this scent. I get one every year plus the deodorant.
Gucci Pour Homme (the original)
Gucci Rush
Burberry Touch (so for the poster above, obviously Touch gets my vote )
Truthfully, though, I think the way my boyfriend smells without any scent on at all is best. When he goes away I insist he leaves me an unwashed t-shirt to sniff. And I don't know a lot about male fragrances so the list above is composed of my favourites from the not-very-large total I've ever smelled.
Also, Thaifighter is right.
"It's now very common to hear people say "I'm rather offended by that." As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more than a whine. 'I find that offensive.' It has no meaning; it has no purpose; it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that.' Well so fucking what." - Stephen Fry
This is an open call to female readers to tell us men what you like. How do you want your man to smell? What's too 'out there'? What's downright sexy? What would make you ask a strange man what he's wearing?
Also, how much is too much? How close do you want to be to a man before you smell him?
Guys, what do your wives, girlfriends, coworkers, and other women respond to on you? What do they hate?
We have an ongoing, "What scent gets you the most female compliments?" thread, but I'd really like to hear from the women themselves what they think.

'Il mondo dei profumi è un universo senza limiti: una fraganza puo rievocare sensazioni, luoghi, persone o ancora condurre in uno spazio di nuove dimensioni emozionali' L. V.
Yes, we have been asked that many times, but what the hell...... my very favorite, make me go weak in the knees scents on my hubby are Chanel Antaeus and Egoiste. Other than that during the day he wears Aveda Pure-Fume Tonic which just smells clean and nice. I do appreciate when I smell fragrance on other men as long as it is not overbearing. Sometimes my Husband wears my TDC Bois d'Iris and it smells great on him also.
One of the many things I appreciate about BaseNotes is how accepting its members are. I've not been here that long, but when I first got here I was asking a lot of "here we go again" questions ("What's decanting?") and kind souls took the time to accommodate me.
You're going to get lots of different opinions - here's mine:
"How do you want your man to smell? - #1 = Fresh sweat. #2 = Eau Sauvage #3 = Canoe #4 = 4711 #5 = Bay Rum #6 = Royal Copenhagen (These are all from The Men I Have Loved in My Extensive Past.
"What would make you ask a strange man what he's wearing?" If I knew, I wouldn't ask!!
"What's downright sexy?" What's wearing the frag.
I wear a lot of different men's frags myself and wouldn't mind any of them on any guy: Montana Parfum Pour Homme; Azzaro Pour Homme; Live Jazz; Havana; Tabarome Milliseme.
On the other side of this particular coin, some scents that are faves of the guys - M7, Egoiste, Third Man - just don't work on me but I haven't smelled them (or any of the others) on a guy....I am a discriminating Widow Lady (although my son does wear Eau Sauvage and it is divine on him.) Must be a Y chromosome thing.
"What do they hate?" Stale sweat. Insincerity.

How do you want your man to smell? It's him that I want to smell first, not his fragrance. I like fragrances which beautifully enhance your natural odour.
What's downright sexy? Equipage, Le Mouchoir de Monsieur, Habit Rouge, Chypre, Jicky, English Fern, Pour un Homme, Racquets, Elite, Eau Sauvage and, why not, Dioressence or Vol de Nuit.
In winter, I like hot and sweet ambery notes (Ambre Sultan, Or des Indes), rose/geranium bourbon (Hammam Bouquet, Nahema ... yes) and sandalwood (Musk from Villoresi).
What would make you ask a strange man what he's wearing? When the fragrance and his skin match perfectly. Sometimes, I just can't resist ... It happened to me several times.
Also, how much is too much? It depends on the fragrance and on his complexion ... I don't like strong scents onto blond hair men, I don't know why.
How close do you want to be to a man before you smell him? 1m50 to catch up with one note. Less than 1m to really appreciate.
What do you hate? when the frag does not match his look or his personnality. When the scent is covering his own smell.

L'amour fait songer, vivre et croire. Il a, pour réchauffer le coeur, un rayon de plus que la gloire; et ce rayon, c'est le bonheur. (Victor HUGO)
For me, it depends on the man. For the most part I agree with the others: good hygiene, natural scent, and matching the fragrance with the personality, mood/event, and weather.
I can tell you one thing that is a turnoff--major sillage, especially if it is a heavy oriental in warm weather. It is really repellent for me. I agree with Night--less than 1.5 m to catch a whiff, and less than 1 m to smell the fragrance more fully.
Generally, I like classics: traditional colognes, leather, musk and sandalwood scents. Very woody scents are not very appealing to me (example, Terre d'Hermes smells heavily of cedar to me--and can be a bit of a stomach turner in large doses).
It's definitely the man. But a BAD or overwhelming scent can be his ruiin, to some extent.
Specifically, on a personal note I've always gone weak for a very delicate application of Gentleman Givenchy (seriously, a delicate application--watered down as aftershave even--it's potent but very sexy), and Musc Ravageur. Too much is definitely Too Much. I believe sillage should be close in any men's fragrance, otherwise, it feels like the guy's trying too hard.
Good luck!
Obsession Night cK
Gucci Rush
I have happy thoughts every time the men that wear those pass by.
It definately is a combination, how the smell mixes and the attitude of the person.
I mean, sure, anyone can dab on cologne, but not everyone can pull it off.
It's been my experience that when I'm wearing the following, my lady friends like them: And I'm just an average looking bloke
FM Musc Ravager
Montale Black Aoud & Aoud Damascus
Serge Luten's Ambre Sultan
Givenchy Pi
Annayake Miyako
Ormonde Jayne Ta'if
Creed Milliseme Imperial

Two steps forward. One step back.
I love sharp and green, Fou d´Absinthe turns me into a sniffing junkie. I could inhale men+fou d´absinthe for hours if he´d let me
Aqua di Gio is a nightmare, it makes me sneeze and I find the smell uninteresting. I agree with Egoiste though, also sexy.
it depends on your body chemistry, but I know for a fact that certain scents have made women hot and bothered around me. Doubly so since i'm not particularly confident/smooth as it is, and scent-less these situations are disasters so I really notice when things are working. So much so that the magic seems to happen right after i get a "heat" whiff of my own cologne. The thing is, even when women think it's the guy, a lot of times the chemicals and natural stuff in certain scents DO get them going.
In my case, it was night and day, without certain scents, they'd physically look the other day, with them, body contact. and more After CONSIDERABLE trial and error I realized that colognes strong with PATCHOULI seemed to be the magic formula, but that's just with my own chemistry.

To me, it's not only about how a scent smells, but the associations it triggers in my mind. Aqua di Gio triggers some bad associations to me(someone who wears perfume just to get closer to girls and he heard of this because everyone wears it). Now, to me, my favourites are:
1)L'Eau D'Issey Miyake - it has some pretty cool associations in my mind that 1280adam and my boyfriend know. It reminds me of the first... nevermind. :P
2)Pi by Givenchy
3)Dior Homme
4)Envy Gucci
There are others too, but these came to mind now.
@moondeva:I love the guys in the Paco Rabbane ads. :">
@Mario:Your post was funny.
I found that misting a scent on making it cover you instead of direct sprays to somewhere works wonders. This is why I've gotten complimented on every, single fragrance I own... just ask Delia
Chanel Egoiste (orginal formulation) is the sexiest smell ever, but I'm not sure you can buy it anymore (though someone did tell me you could get it on cross-channel ferries!
The new Prada Homme fragrance isn't bad either!
Good luck in whatever you are planning to use this information for!

Chanel pour Monsieur and Dior pour Homme. Elegant and understated, that works for me!
Having read through this sticky, the complementary sticky on the guy's board and comparing it to the general posts I have read I found one obvious fact. We guys are clueless as to what we should be wearing around the various ladies in our lives. Apparently we are more oriented towards intimidating or impressing other guys that we are in making the ladies happy. Somewhere along the line we got our signals crossed.
I did my own little investigation which I will never post. It is top secret since I need every advantage I can get. I will say that the ladies fall into several scent reception categories. The intimacy receptive situations, the "I like you as a brother" phase, the office friend and possible future lover, and the "just smile and keep walking" situation.
To complicate things, ladies have one series of scent preferences and girls have another.
All of this is said to let you guys know that the answers are here if you look and use a little intuition and intellect. For myself I found several male or uni scents for each phase. This allows me to HOPEFULLY guess what is appropriate for each lady. It is amazing what you can learn on a slow Saturday morning.
Guys quit listening to each other and let the ladies guide you. They do know what they like.
Now if you still want to do the macho thing, forget the commercial scents. Go cut the grass, then come in and take a shower. By the time you are done you might be just right for an interesting afternoon.
Keep the suggestions coming ladies. We may be a little slow but we can be guided.
Pi by Givenchy on my boyfriend it is extremely erotic and I'm glad that I didn't smell it on an other man, it would have be terribly disturbing...
Otherwise Ambre Sultan de Serge Luten, Habit rouge de Guerlain, Terre de Hermes are beautiful on a man too, maybe it is more for a 40 years old man, a mature and confident person...
Night, what a pleasure to find you here!
I really think it's a combination of the particular guy's physical & mental characteristics with the fragrance he wears. Often, there is a contrast factor that can be very appealing. My two faves were each worn by ex-boyfriends that I really liked in general, so of course that was part of it. They wore Aramis JHL and Chanel Egoiste (both of these need to be applied very lightly). I would actually characterize these fragrances as a bit feminine, and while both of these men were very masculine, I think their choice of scents brought out a bit of romance and intellect in them. They both always seemed to have an air of elegance about them, and I do think that scent can influence that. The olfactory sense is very powerful.
This is such as interesting question and there are so many ifs and buts that go along with it - particularly the associations you form with a particular scent.
In my view there's nothing, NOTHING, so sexy as a confident man who is in control and exudes power (of himself), and his scent has very little to do with it. BUT, to be honest, even if Daniel Craig walked in wearing a patchouli frag I'd be sprinting in the other direction!!
Some scents are just too unpleasant to bear and the way many fools wear them makes me want to gag - perfumes are for smelling, not tasting!!
I love Vetiver on my husband. I don't necessarily think its a 'sexy' fragrance though, so don't know if I'd feel the same with it on another man.
He has the dregs of a bottle of Estee Lauder's Intuition lurking too and that's beautiful on him, quite close, and definitely one that makes me want to sneak up behind him and nuzzle his neck...
He wore various Calvin Kleins when I first met him and they left me cold really. Moved on to Issy and while it was okay it didn't really push my buttons. He did, I just didn't like the perfume. He likes Gucci for men now and as a fragrance I'm not overly impressed, but it makes him feel good and I just can't resist that confidence in him....
But, as has been said before, fresh sweat....gets me every time!
This question got me thinking and I remembered something after I logged off and thought I would share it with you.
(this is a bit silly, btw, so don't hold it against me....)
The sexiest man, by far, that I have ever met was a friend at university. Women (and gay men!) of all ages would literally throw themselves at him, which we would often laugh at. Apart from a drunken dalliance at a party we were just friends, though I was by no means immune to his allure. He was funny, intelligent, good looking, fit and so confident to be occasionally intimidating. He could walk in a room and you'd hold your breath in anticipation.
And his fragrance..... HAVEN"T A CLUE. I seriously don't think he ever wore one. I don't ever remember smelling so much as his deodorant and the only conversation we ever had about perfume was at a ball when he said I smelled good (Fendi).
It's not the smell, it's the man.....
I love Paul Sebastian. I know it is an 'older fragrance', been out for quite awhile, but I do not there is anything like it. So stately and sexy. Smells of 'sex appeal' and enpowerment. A fragrance does not a man make, but a fragrance does enhance the man, forgettable NOT.
The 2 that absolutely do it for me are:
Creed's Green Irish Tweed and Vetiver. i love most of the Creed scents, but there is something about those 2 that drive me crazy. i cant get enough.
I don't know about you guys but I never fail to turn a head or two with Black XS (Paco Robanne)
I also use fructose hair spray to keep the sweet smell alive...
They seem to go well.
I like the smell of normally clean man (you know, washes his clothes, has good hygiene) who is sweaty. Let me know when that gets bottled!
Turns on: Armani Attitude, D&G The One, Dior Homme, L'Occitane Badian.
Turns off: Jean-Paul Gaultier -scents, the worst is Gaultier2. Also aquatic scents and sporty scents.
I adore Dunhill for men -sex in a bottle ! - and when I was a teenager - I used to swoon over the smell of Drakkar Noir !
Tom Ford for men is good too as is Tommy Hilifiger for Men . I just love these scents on a man .
For sale. Carnal Flower and Vero Profumo Onda.
Depending on the type of "sexy" man...different fragrances would be fitting, and enhance his attractiveness certainly..
I think that an older, elegant, intelligent man smells great in Heritage.
A smoking-hot, confident Latin man with swagger, Antaeus..or Azzaro.
A spunky, modern, younger man with worldly panache, Gucci pour homme.
And a perfect gentleman can always wear Pour Monsieur Chanel.
Part of the trick, for me, has always been if men find the same sort of scents appropriate
for themselves that I would issue them, if I were their perfume counselor. (haha)
Men who know who they are, who are smart about scent and know how to use fragrance, are powerfully sexy.
Conversely, men who get it wrong can almost be a embarrassment.
For example, only a few men I have ever met can be Kouros, but I have smelled it on so many, and its really off putting . I just pretend not to notice.
There are safe fragrances, too. Like Un Homme YSL or even Polo. Good bets for the unsure.
I guess,ask yourselves, what kind of man are you? What associations come to mind when you smell certain fragrances? What is the synthesis of the experience: what images come to mind? What places?
And which ones are most congruous with your self image? Pick the finest example that fits. Be a force to be reckoned with.
I have no idea what it is that my dad used to wear, but I used to sniff his shirts because I liked it so much.
I work in a candle store and the yankee "amber glow" scent reminds me of it.
I don't know much about men's cologne other than that I do like musky/ambery/piney/woodsy scents, as long as it's not too heavy or cheap. Nothing says "I'm a stupid frat boy" better than Axe body spray. Avoid it and it's imitators. Also, Hygiene and health are important there is no scent that will make an unattractive man attractive.
At the store I work at, we sell a line of scented candles by Archipelago that are so good I wish some of them were perfumes. The "Stonehenge" scent kind of makes me want to bang the candle. :/ It bills itself as "smoked cedarwood, bergamot and Amber" so my suggestion is to look for scents with notes of that.
The scents on the right man 4 me are- Cool Water, Ferrari Red, Eternity, Polo Blue, Nautica (Blue juice not the teal one), Kouros, Givenchy Pour Homme, Hugo Boss, Fahrenheit, and Burberry London...that's all I can think of right now.
What is it that women love about La Male? I just cant stand smelling like a pastry shop.
I don't think a man's cologne has any bearing on whether or not I find him sexually attractive.
I can love his cologne and want get close enough to sniff while having no sexual interest in the man himself. Or I can find the man very sexy, while having no attraction at all to his cologne. They're just not all that related for me.
Polo Sport by Ralph Lauren!
Really, does any topic exist about which scents men love?
my blogger friend got a sample of Brooklyn Bond No. 9. Smells like a winner! Cant wait to get it for my husband!
Ok, now this might be a little confusing. I bought a large sample of Muscs Kublai Khan by Serge Lutens for my husband based on it's crazy reviews. When he first put it on I was horrified (as I thought I might be) and said "Whoa big fella, maybe you should go wash off the lion pee you're wearing!" and took several steps back. It certainly hit me with a tidal wave of dry, sun-drenched king of the pride urine (and maybe a hint of booze?) as if this particular lion had partied too hard. I was repulsed, even reeling from it. But then I thought to myself that I should give it a chance to develop a few minutes due to the hefty price tag and unusual reviews. We weren't going out so what the heck? Why not. Several minutes later, after it dried down a little and his skin absorbed it (he's very hot-blooded and his body temperature helped this scent out) I couldn't stay away from him. It still offended me a little, but it also lured me in like nothing I had ever experienced. Muscs Kublai Khan is like the bad boy you shouldn't want. He's a little dirty, parties too much, has had way too many women-but no matter how much you should try to resist you just can't. Not long after it dried down I was all over my husband and we ended up glad we had no plans for the night I would never suggest wearing this out unless it was to a club or bar. It was made for night, and catching a woman.
ok ladies out of my relatively small cologne collection compared to some, what would you say is the sexiest out of the scents i own?
drakkar noir
dolce and gabbana pour homme
chanel allure
joop go
chanel platinum egoiste
chanel allure sport
davidoff cool water game
ralph lauren romance silver
or black suede by avon LOL
i am just intrested to see what you would find more attractive on someone out of these. thanks!!

I can't imagine why they'd turn away easy work when it's in your maintenance book. I suppose if you get the oil changed and rotate the tires you'll be OK. Just don't invalidate your warrantee by not having the service stamp, or a receipt if those are required as stated in the warrantee book. I'm such a worrier..

The bill came in, and it's a doozy, a quarter billion dollars to the lawyers.
Printable View
The bill came in, and it's a doozy, a quarter billion dollars to the lawyers.
I should have gone to law school instead of art school.
Those costs are in part due to not charging a bancruptsy trustee with the case, but letting Kodak run the affair themselves, including hiring a great number of law firms.
Nevertheless over here, where that trustee approach is applied, there is a lot of criticism at those trustees. Here their fee is regulated in such a case on 0.5% of the resting assets.
But a trustee himself can hire in advisory firms who then crank up costs.
(The demise of the GDR was probably a paradise for advisory firms...)
Kodak seems to have learned nothing... LOL still just love to bleed money everywhere lol
Any corporate bankruptcy or transaction (acquisition, divestiture, merger) is a gigantic pay day for the advising investment bank(s), legal firm(s), accounting firm(s), Monitors (bankruptcy), and consulting/strategy firms (McKinsey, Bain & Company, etc.).
To bad the stock holders are not litigating against the top brass. :(

Kodak has been resting on its laurels, and spending excess money and not making a profit for a while now. It's why they went into bankruptcy in the first place, because they weren't more careful about how they ran things, (yes I understand the bottom dropped out on them, but they also did a lot of bad business and poor investments and the board ran it into the ground) and if they spent so much on all the legal stuff without actually being cautious about it little more, it shows that they haven't really learned anything from their past mistakes that's what I meant. Whether you agree with me is another story, this is just one man's opinion, as my signature says...
you said " still" as if after alaris was formed they continue to act irresponsibly ...
its rather strange seeing YOU are relying in the regrouped kodak to sell you
sheet film of their movie stock ...

Aromatherapy Schools and Colleges in the U.S.
Aromatherapy schools and colleges in the U.S. are available as both for-profit and not-for-profit educational institutions. Aromatherapy involves the use of essential oils which, when warmed, release scents that are believed to bring relaxation, mood improvement, spiritual benefits and relief of physical complaints. Baths, massages and small candle-warmed or other warming containers are frequently used to introduce the chemical essences through the skin or diffuse the scents for inhalation.
Choosing an Aromatherapy School
Aromatherapy programs can be found at 2- and 4-year schools, most commonly as a certificate program. Many schools also offer aromatherapy as a concentration in a program like alternative or complementary medicine, holistic health or integrative health practices.
Prospective aromatherapy students may first want to find out if their state regulates aromatherapists. If so, the state may specify educational requirements that must be met to enter practice. A college or school offering a program in aromatherapy should meet those requirements, but prospective students should check carefully to be sure.
Students can also look for indicators of legitimacy, such as state or local licensure. There is no accrediting agency for alternative health education, other than for doctoral-level programs in naturopathy, but all schools should be licensed to provide education by the state. Recommendations from practicing aromatherapists may also help in selecting a good school or college.
A good school will provide a full course of education. Aromatherapy training programs should include basic chemistry and biochemistry or physiology, if these are not prerequisites for admission. Coursework should cover law and regulations for the state the college or school is in, as well as the ethics of health practice. Students may also look for coursework in diagnosis, recommending correct treatments, contraindications for aromatherapy use and allergic reactions. Courses may also train students in understanding the actions of various essences, choosing and blending quality oils, as well as identifying the most useful delivery methods and techniques for massage or reflexology.
Being an aromatherapy practitioner involves working with people, delivering treatments in a session and educating them about healthy living. An internship or practice placement is invaluable. Some schools place students in preceptorships, either near the campus or near the students' homes.

From the article: Build to Save Energy
You don't have to do a complete remodel to save energy. Even small changes can make a big difference in your utility bills. Have you found a way to save energy at your house?
- I used biogas in my home. Biogas is produce from waste of animals, like dung in a confined tank fermenting and giving flammable gas for final use.
- —Guest Bitew Bikale
Evaporative Cooling for AC
- One trick is to re-route the cold water (condensate) line from my mini-split AC to drip the distilled water over the hot condenser coils, making the unit more efficient by using both the temperature change from cold water to hot coil temp, and then the heat of the phase change from liquid to gas as the water evaporates.
- —Guest dgregory
Window Film
- I used SB221 bronze film on the west facing windows of my home and installed fluorescent and LED lighting, as well as keeping things unplugged when not in use. Put in new weather stripping on all the doors.

Re: Why does anything identifiable need to leave the GP?
Because they're matching it against the hospital records they already have. So you can do things like spot everyone prescribed a certain treatment later turned up in hospital suffering a particular illness.
The identifiers are then kept separately and the data released only has the things you mention.

An eerie silence wrapped the bog,
I dared not move nor speak.
The chilling blanket of the fog
Where evil beings creep
Conceals within tormented souls
Now stirring from their sleep,
And there within a fate foretold
Lie secrets they will keep.
Into the darkest night they prowl
To feed upon the weak,
And even wolves with frightened howls
Hide in the forest deep.
The terror of the living dead
Will feast among the meek.

Cooking out of the box
Glass, aluminum and wood are the ingredients of the solar oven, which both saves energy and produces surprisingly succulent foods.
Sometimes, when people want to describe a sweltering summer day, they say it's hot enough to fry an egg on the hood of their car. Channeling the sun's heat for cooking, however, is nothing new to Ruthie and Yaakov Dorot of Netanya.
"We want to tell you about the oven we built by ourselves," they wrote me, following a recent article in these pages ("Delayed gratification," September 7) on the virtues of slow cooking. "Since 1996 we have been cooking a variety of tasty, healthy foods at low temperatures. Our oven uses energy from the sun, and of course is more efficient in the summer."
The letter was accompanied by a photo of an intriguing wooden box with a transparent cover. I contacted the Dorots, asking for more details (and hinted that I would like to see the oven myself).
"The oven is actually a wooden box with a double-glazed cover," came the reply. "The inside of the oven is lined with aluminum, painted black. The ingredients for cooking are put into black enamel pots, to absorb the heat better, but covered Pyrex dishes can also be used. The cooking is done at 100 degrees Celsius. We put the food in the oven in the morning, when we leave the house, and when we come back at lunchtime, the meal is ready."
The letter ended with an invitation for lunch on the roof, where I could taste the results (they had gotten the hint).
The Dorots first encountered the idea of harnessing the sun's rays for cooking purposes during their seven-year sojourn in chilly Switzerland, where Yaakov, an engineer, served as an Israel Military Industries emissary in the late 1980s and early 1990s. A Swiss friend invited them for a meal and served ratatouille prepared in a solar oven - a box that works on the same principle as solar panels used to heat water.
It turns out there is a Swiss company that manufactures and sells solar ovens in build-it-yourself kits, for people who care about the environment and energy conservation. The kits also have a humanitarian purpose, and are distributed in hot countries, in underdeveloped regions with no electricity.
"I immediately liked the idea," recalls Yaakov, whose professional sixth sense identified an interesting technical challenge. "I asked my friend for the assembly instructions from the kit, and brought them back to Israel."
One of Dorot's first projects after returning here became the collection and improvisation of the necessary materials, he says. "For the lining of the oven I used discarded metal plates from offset printing; the clasps that hold the bar that keeps the oven's lid open are recycled from an old car hood; a carpenter friend helped me build the box itself; the nontoxic black paint is honey-based and was bought for me by friends abroad. Little by little I reconstructed the oven."
When this was done, Dorot borrowed a thermometer from an automotive electrician, set the oven on his roof, in the sun, and tested the device. To his disappointment, the temperature inside the oven did not exceed 96 degrees Celsius (the goal was to reach 100). Dorot did not give up. He fitted the lid with a rubber insulation seal, and tried again. This time the inside of the oven got hot enough to boil water.
"We use the oven almost every day, from May through September," says Ruthie. "I prepare the food in the morning, before we leave the house, and when we come back tired in the afternoon, our meal is ready - tasty and healthy, like in a restaurant. Apart from the ecological considerations (we did not build the oven for economic reasons, but rather to save energy and reduce pollution), it is simply very convenient to use a solar oven. The food stays succulent and tasty, and doesn't burn or dry out. It doesn't matter if we come home an hour later or an hour earlier.
"We cook mainly stews, rice and lentils, legumes and vegetables, but also chicken, meat, fish and patties. Sometimes I saute the onions or other vegetables first, on the gas stove, add seasonings and then set everything to slow-cook in the sun. Sometimes we even cook enough for several days, and use the solar oven for reheating. The food comes out delicious."
After all the explanations (and the first course: stuffed eggplant a la Moussaioff, prepared on the stove and served cold - a secret family recipe that Yaakov revealed to me and which will be published here soon) came the main event: The lid of the box was opened and out came pots of delicious rice with vegetables and lentils, sumptuous chicken patties in tomato sauce with fresh za'atar (wild hyssop), and a festive pot of chunks of chicken breast with red apples. Ruthie happily gave me the recipes and apologized for not knowing the exact quantities of all the ingredients.
If you do not have a solar oven, these dishes can be made in a regular oven, set at 100 degrees Celsius.

Brown visits SD, promises 'real suffering' if tax fails
Constance Carroll, chancellor of the San Diego Community College District, said passage of the measure was critical for the statewide system and its thousands of students across the county. The district already has eliminated more than 2,000 class sections, Carroll said.
"If Proposition 30 fails, however, we will all lose more classes," she said, pegging total reductions at 7,000 classes, meaning 20,000 students would be turned away. "This is a time to determine whether California wants to move forward with opportunity or backwards the way we have been," she said.
For San Diego Unified, the impact remains unclear, but the district could cut another 14 days from the school year under an agreement reached with the teachers union. The district had already trimmed the school year by five days to help balance last year's budget.
On Monday, Brown said he returned to the governor's office to solve problems that plagued the state for more than a decade. His efforts so far have called for making tough choices such as slashing billions from safety net programs, Brown said.
"I came back to tell you the truth. This is not about politics," he said. "This is about a choice by the people of California: Do we want to invest in our schools? Do we want to protect public safety, or not?"
Proponents of a rival measure assert the governor's plan would do less to aid schools than their Proposition 38. That measure, supported by Los Angeles-based attorney Molly Munger, would raise income taxes on nearly all Californians to fund schools and childhood development programs.
A recent Field Poll found 54 percent of respondents in favor of Brown's tax measure and 38 percent opposed. Voters were split at 46 percent on Munger's initiative.

Craig Cornish
It can't be seen nor felt,
the ominous, relentless pull,
at first the path, a shortcut,
the easy way out.
Surely, no one would know
if we stepped lightly, carefully,
through a quagmire of guilt,
no one would see.
As the sun splashed
heated on our brow,
it singed our soul
and slowed our step,
but no one would care
as we sunk deeper,
struggling with more lies
and suffocating
in our own insignificance
too late to cry ...

This is a power point presentation on Climate Change
CLIMATE CHANGE WHAT IS CLIMATE CHANGE ? Climate change means any significant change in climate, like temperature or rainfall, over a 30 year period or more. If the climate is changing, then the 30 year average temperature, or rainfall, or number of sunny days, is changing. It's easy to mix up climate and weather! ! ! Here's a simple way to think about it: climate is what we expect (e.g. cold winters) and weather is what we get (e.g. rain). Weather is what is happening in the atmosphere at any one time: how warm, windy, sunny or humid it is. Climate is the description of the average weather we might expect at a given time, usually taken for several decades or longer to average out year to year variability. Variability might be due to a particularly hot summer or very cold winter. The world's climate has been getting warmer since 1900. However, this overall warming has not occurred evenly across the world's surface and different places, because of their location and geography, are affected in different ways. Does the sun cause climate change? It's true that changes in solar activity does affect global temperatures. Changes in the energy output of the Sun, and the Earth's orbit around the Sun, do have an effect on the Earth's climate. Ice ages have come and gone in regular cycles for nearly three million years. There is strong evidence that these are linked to regular variations in the Earth's orbit around the Sun, the so-called Milankovitch cycles. These cycles change the amount of the Sun's energy received by different places on the Earth's surface. However, over the last 50 years, increased greenhouse gas concentrations have had a much greater effect than changes in the Sun's energy. How has the greenhouse effect changed? Naturally occurring gases in our atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane, provide an insulating effect without which the earth would be a frozen planet. However, levels of greenhouses gases in the atmosphere have increased, preventing more heat escaping to Space and leading to 'global warming'. Any increases in the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere mean that less heat escapes to Space and global temperatures increase - an effect known as 'global warming'. Over the past 150 years in the industrial era, human activities have increased the emissions of three principal green house gases: carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide. These gases accumulate in the atmosphere, causing concentrations to increase with time. Carbon dioxide (CO₂) has increased from our use of fossil fuels which we burn for use in transpor tation, energy generation, building heating and cooling. Deforestation also releases CO2 and reduces its uptake by plants. Methane (CH₄) has more than doubled as a result of human activities related to agriculture, natural gas distribution and landfills. However, increases in methane concentrations are slowing down because the growth of emissions has decreased over the last two decades. What has caused the rise in temperatures over the past 100 years? In the first half of the 20th century global temperatures have risen because of increases in the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere as well as changes in the amount of energy emitted by the Sun. In the second half of the 20th century warming is mainly due to changing greenhouse gas concentrations. Sulphate particles from industrial emissions reflect solar radiation and therefore act to cool climate. These particles helped mask the warming for a few decades from 1940, but then reductions in these pollutants,as they are the cause of poor air quality, together with ever increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases led to renewed warming from the 1970s. What is the greenhouse effect? It is essential to human life! The natural greenhouse gas effect keeps Earth much warmer than it would otherwise be. Without the greenhouse effect, planet Earth would be too cold to support human life as we know it. The temperature of the Earth is determined by the balance between energy coming in from the Sun in the form of visible radiation (sunlight) and energy constantly being emitted from the surface of the Earth to outer space in the form of invisible infrared radiation (heat). The energy coming in from the Sun can pass through the clear atmosphere pretty much unchanged and therefore heat the surface of the Earth. But the infrared radiation emanating from the surface of the Earth is partly absorbed by some gases in the atmosphere, and some of it is re-emitted downwards. The effect of this is to warm the surface of the Earth and lower part of the atmosphere. This is called the greenhouse effect. The absorbing gases in the atmosphere are primarily water vapour (responsible for about two-thirds of the effect) and carbon dioxide. Methane, nitrous oxide, ozone and several other gases present in the atmosphere in small amounts also contribute to the greenhouse effect. Without the greenhouse effect the Earth would be, on average, about 33°C colder than it presently is. What other things can change the climate? There were three volcanic eruptions big enough to affect the climate in the 20thcentury. There were 3 volcanic eruptions big enough to affect the climate in the 20th century – Agung in Indonesia (1963), El Chichon in Mexico (1982) and Pinatubo in the Philippines (1991). Materials (particles) from violent volcanic eruptions can be projected far above the highest cloud, and into the stratosphere where they can significantly increase how much incoming solar energy is reflected. Major volcanic eruptions can reduce average global surface temperature by about 0.5°C for months or even years. Evidence of climate change CHANGE IN NUMBER OF EXTREME EVENTS. THE CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE RECENT PAST. THE CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE PAST. THE CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE PAST The Earth's climate has always changed, long before we humans existed! There have been warmer and colder periods. For example, in the last ice age, 20,000 years ago, it was about 9°C colder than it is now. CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE RECENT PAST Current global temperatures are warmer than they have been during at least the past five centuries, probably for more than 1000 years. The 17 warmest years on record have all occurred in the last 20 years. During the 20th century there have been two 'warming phases': from the 1910s to the 1940s (0.35°C), and more strongly from the 1970s to the present (0.55°C). Alongside the warming, there has been an almost worldwide reduction in the extent and mass of glaciers in the 20th century. We know that the Greenland Ice Sheet is melting, that the thickness and extent of sea ice in the Arctic have decreased in all seasons and that sea level is rising due to thermal expansion of the oceans and melting of land ice. Instrumental observations over the past 150 years show that air temperatures at the Earth's surface have risen globall RISING SEA LEVEL Sea levels rose on average by 1.7mm a year during the 20th century. Since 1993 levels have been rising by 3mm a year, according to the IPCC. The average temperature of the oceans is also rising, and has increased by 0.10C over the period 1961-2003. Higher sea levels are partly explained by water expanding as it heats up and partly by melt-water from ice sheets and glaciers finding its way into the oceans. This rise in sea levels has obvious consequences for people living in low-lying coastal regions. RISING SEA LEVEL THREAT TO KIRIBATI MELTING ICE Snow and ice are undergoing a "global-scale decline", according to the IPCC. Overall, the world's glaciers are on the retreat. In the extreme north temperatures are rising faster than the global average, and the area covered by Arctic sea ice has been falling since the 1970s. Antarctica and Greenland contain the two largest ice sheets on the planet. Both are "very likely" to be shrinking, according to the IPCC. But the picture is complex. In Greenland ice is being lost around the coasts, but a little thickening is taking place in central regions. Western Antarctica has seen some significant melting, with effects inlcuding the rapid disintegration of the Larsen-B ice shelf in 2002 A WARMER EARTH Our world is getting warmer. Over the last 100 years the average global surface temperature has risen by about 0.74C. This seemingly small rise has already had a significant effect on our planet. For example, the record books have had to be re-written recently, as 11 of the 12 hottest years recorded so far have all taken place since 1995. It is "very likely" that the rising level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is the cause of climate change, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Human activities, such as burning fossil fuels, are the primary source behind this increase. Extreme Events As the Earth's climate gets warmer, the likelihood of some extreme events such as heat waves increases. Scientists believe, the risk of hotter summer has doubled due to human activities such as fossil-fuel burning. Determining whether a specific, single extreme event is due to a specific cause, such as increasing greenhouse gases, is difficult for two reasons: 1) extreme events are usually caused by a combination of many different factors and 2) a wide range of extreme events is normal even in an un changing climate. The likelihood of some extreme events, such as heat waves, has increased with the changing climate, and the likelihood of others, such as extremely cold nights, has decreased. In some regions there have been increases in droughts and floods. The number of days of very heavy rain have in creased in some places. Tropical storm and hurricane frequencies vary considerably from year to year, but evidence suggests substantial increases in intensity and duration since the 1970s. Facts on climate change and health Over the last 50 years, human activities – particularly the burning of fossil fuels – have released sufficient quantities of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases to affect the global climate. The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide has increased by more than 30% since pre-industrial times, trapping more heat in the lower atmosphere. The resulting changes in the global climate bring a range of risks to health, from deaths in extreme high temperatures to changing patterns of infectious diseases. From the tropics to the arctic, climate and weather have powerful direct and indirect impacts on human life. Weather extremes – such as heavy rains, floods, and disasters like Hurricane Katrina that devastated New Orleans, USA in August 2005 – endanger health as well as destroy property and livelihoods. Approximately 600 000 deaths occurred worldwide as a result of weather- related natural disasters in the 1990s, some 95% of which took place in developing countries. Intense short-term fluctuations in temperature can also seriously affect health – causing heat stress (hyperthermia) or extreme cold (hypothermia) – and lead to increased death rates from heart and respiratory diseases. Recent studies suggest that the record high temperatures in western Europe in the summer of 2003 were associated with a spike of an estimated 70 000 more deaths than the equivalent periods in previous years. Pollen and other aeroallergen levels are also higher in extreme heat. These can trigger asthma, which affects around 300 million people. Ongoing temperature increases are expected to increase this burden. Rising sea levels – another outcome of global warming – increase the risk of coastal flooding, and could cause population displacement. More than half of the world's population now lives within 60 kilometres of shorelines. Floods can directly cause injury and death, and increase risks of infection from water and vector- borne diseases. Population displacement could increase tensions and potentially the risks of conflict. More variable rainfall patterns are likely to compromise the supply of fresh water. Globally, water scarcity already affects four out of every 10 people. A lack of water and poor water quality can compromise hygiene and health. This increases the risk of diarrhoea, which kills approximately 2.2 million people every year, as well as trachoma (an eye infection that can lead to blindness) and other illnesses. Water scarcity encourages people to transport water long distances and store supplies in their homes. This can increase the risk of household water contamination, causing illnesses. Climatic conditions affect diseases transmitted through water, and via vectors such as mosquitoes. Climate-sensitive diseases are among the largest global killers. Diarrhoea, malaria and protein- energy malnutrition alone caused more than 3 million deaths globally in 2004, with over one third of these deaths occurring in Africa. Malnutrition causes millions of deaths each year, from both a lack of sufficient nutrients to sustain life and a resulting vulnerability to infectious diseases such as malaria, diarrhoea, and respiratory illnesses. Increasing temperatures on the planet and more variable rainfalls are expected to reduce crop yields in many tropical developing regions, where food security is already a problem. Steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or lessen the health impacts of climate change could have positive health effects. For example, promoting the safe use of public transportation and active movement - such as biking or walking as alternatives to using private vehicles - could reduce carbon dioxide emissions and improve public health. They can not only cut traffic injuries, but also air pollution and associated respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. Increased levels of physical activity can lower overall mortality rates. Climate change is already beginning to transform life on Earth. Around the globe, seasons are shifting, temperatures are climbing and sea levels are rising. And meanwhile, our planet must still supply us – and all living things – with air, water, food and safe places to live. If we don't act now, climate change will rapidly alter the lands and waters we all depend upon for survival, leaving our children and grandchildren with a very different world. Heat-trapping gases emitted by power plants, automobiles, deforestation and other sources are warming up the planet. Scientists project that if emissions of heat- trapping carbon emissions aren't reduced, average surface temperatures could increase by 3 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century. The planet's oceans are also warming, which is causing dangerous consequences such as Stronger Storms and Hurricanes Scientific research indicates that climate change will cause hurricanes and tropical storms to become more intense — lasting longer, unleashing stronger winds, and causing more damage to coastal ecosystems and communities. Scientists point to higher ocean temperatures as the main culprit, since hurricanes and tropical storms get their energy from warm water. As sea surface temperatures rise, developing storms will contain more energy. RISING SEA LEVELS Sea level rise from climate change could displace tens of millions of people. As the Earth heats up, sea levels rise because warmer water takes up more room than colder water, a process known as thermal expansion. Melting glaciers compound the problem by dumping even more fresh water into the oceans. Digitally retouched picture of La Manga del Mar in Murcia to show before (top) and after (below) a rise in sea level. Increased Risk of Drought Higher temperatures increase the amount of moisture that evaporates from land and water, leading to drought in many areas. Lands affected by drought are more vulnerable to flooding once rain falls. As temperatures rise globally, droughts will become more frequent and more severe, with potentially devastating consequences for agriculture, water supply and human health. This phenomenon has already been observed in some parts of Asia and Africa, where droughts have become longer and more intense. Increased Risk of Floods In a warmer future climate, most climate models project decreased summer rainfall and increased winter rainfall in most parts of the northern middle and high latitudes. Along with the risk of summer drought, there is an increased chance of episodes of intense rainfall and flooding. More flooding is also expected in the Asian monsoon region and other tropical areas and in a number of major river basins. Climate change could one-fourth of the Earth's species to be headed for extinction by 2050. Rising temperatures are changing weather and vegetation patterns across the globe, forcing animal species to migrate to new, cooler areas in order to survive. The rapid nature of climate change is likely to exceed the ability of many species to migrate or adjust. Experts predict that one- fourth of Earth's species will be headed for extinction by 2050 if the warming trend continues at its current rate Heat-Related Illness and Disease Climate change brings health risks to the world's most vulnerable communities. As temperatures rise, so do the risks of heat-related illness and even death for the most vulnerable human populations. In 2003, for example, extreme heat waves caused more than 20,000 deaths in Europe and more than 1,500 deaths in India. Scientists have linked the deadly heat waves to climate change and warn of more to come. In addition to heat-related illness, climate change may increase the spread of infectious diseases, mainly because warmer temperatures allow disease-carrying insects, animals and microbes to survive in areas where they were once thwarted by cold weather. Diseases and pests that were once limited to the tropics — such as mosquitoes that carry malaria — may find hospitable conditions in new areas that were once too cold to support them. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that climate change may have caused more than 150,000 deaths in the year 2000 alone, with an increase in deaths likely in the future. Economic Loss and Damage Climate change is already affecting economies around the world. Declining crop yields could put hundreds of thousands of people at risk for starvation. Climate change is affecting businesses and economies at home and around the world. If action is not taken to curb global carbon emissions, climate change could cost between 5 and 20 percent of the annual global gross domestic product, according to a British government report. In comparison, it would take 1 percent of GDP to lessen the most damaging effects of climate change, the report says. These global costs will be felt by local communities and businesses: Globally, more intense hurricanes and downpours could cause billions of dollars in damage to property and infrastructure. Declining crop yields due to prolonged drought and high temperatures, especially in Africa, could put hundreds of thousands of people at risk for starvation. High sea temperatures also threaten the survival of coral reefs, which generate an estimated $375 billion per year in goods and services.
