Maybe give Costume National Homme a sniff. It is quite potent but smells incredible and definitely leans heavily to the masculine side. Full bottles can be had at discounters for quite reasonable money online.
Im tired of all those sweet feminine scents. I want something really masculine that stands out however wont be too mature (19 yo).
Also i dont care about offending people so it doesnt have to be safe either.
I currently wear Platinum Egoiste which i absolutley LOVE but its too safe and has no much personality in it.
So you get the idea, something that will say "i came here to win and to conquer".
Thank you guys and sorry for my bad english.

Remember that while it is perfectly acceptable to criticize the content of a post - criticizing the poster is not.
Mean spirited, nasty, snide, sarcastic, hateful, and rude individuals on Basenotes don't warrant or deserve other individuals' acknowledgement or respect.
Another recommendation for Terre d'Hermes, but in the Parfum version
Perhaps also Chanel pour Monsieur Concentree
I cannot recommend enough, for those looking for an inoffensive masculine with good longevity: Van Cleef & Arpels pour homme.
No one else will be wearing this, and this frag says "I mean business."
Cheap too.

Chanel Blu
John Varvatos
Perfume lovers of the world UNITE!!!!!
Modern day masculine and not too mature? Narciso Rodriguez for Him might fit that requirement.
Potent, has great longevity, dries down to a killer scent. Just a thought.
Hi, I'm William | My Swap Thread
Annick Goutal - Sables
Caron - Yatagan
YSL - Kouros
Ignore the the 'mature' tag, it's irrelevant
You're welcome
Dior Leather Oud
Paco Rabane Pour Homme (definitely vintage, not current)
YSL Kouros (preferably vintage)
You will definitely be noticed wearing these. And since you are not afraid of try something non-safe, these also fit the bill nicely. Must have big persona to pull these off in public with comfort.
Amouage Interlude Man
Amouage Epic Man
These two are more "polite" if you will, or rather less "offensive", but definitely very strong and umber-masculine releases - that will certainly get you noticed.
Encre Noir
Keep Smelling Good
If youre looking for pure masculine, Kouros is THE king. It will conquer.
Leather Powerhouse maybe
Trussardi UOMO
- Van Cleef & Arpels ph +1 (however maybe a little too mature fo a 19 year old imo)
- Terre d'Hermes +1
- Bogart pour homme
- Quorum
- Drakkar Noir
- Tsar
My Top '10' : (In no particular order)
- Dolce & Gabbana: Pour Homme (vintage)
- Annick Goutal: Ambre Fetiche
- Loewe: Esencia/Pour Homme/Solo
- Davidoff: Leather Blend Edp
- Revillon R
- MPG: Santal Noble
- Acqua di Parma: Colonia Intensa Oud
- Knize Ten
- Pal Zileri: Cuoio
- YSL: Kouros (Fraicheur)
Another +1 for Terre d'Hermes, except I prefer the EDT over the PP
I'm thinking Chanel pour Monsier. It's got large notes of citrus, and woody undertones. Very masculine, and has a reasonable projection.
Chanel Antaeus
Gucci pour Homme I
Hermes Bel Ami
YSL M7 (vintage)
Bentley for Men Intense
Guerlain Derby
"Thank GOD for the nose, for without it we would not be enjoying these beautiful created Scents" also Remember "Balance is everything and the key to appreciating "
Drakkar Noir...classic powerhouse Manly as he** !
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest
- Benjamin Franklin
I need something masculine that stands out
A penis?
I smell marshmallows!
Polo Green
My 19 y.o. nephew isn't too fond of most of those old strong scents, but was very taken with the relatively recent, ultra-strong, ultra-masculine, Bogart PH.
Van Cleef and Arpels Pour Homme was my first fragrance purchase. I bought it when I was very young. It is intensely masculine, but I felt like it really wasn't the true "me" until I was well into my thirties. Late 30s, even.
You could take a chance on Cartier Santos. None of your peers will be wearing it. It is a veritable portrait of masculinity. It's not hard to wear unless the weather's pretty hot. But, again, I had to grow into this one as well. I was a really skinny little kid when I first bought it, and it just didn't feel right unless I was kind of dressed up. It's pretty brawny stuff.
Cartier Must Pour Homme. Discontinued, but there's plenty of it on ebay still. Smoothly masculine. Sophisticated masculine. Masculine, with a minimum of Ron Burgundy.
Someone has mentioned John Varvatos. Also not a bad pick. Borderline powerhouse.
If you are feeling brave, Dior Fahrenheit
If you are feeling especially brave, Givenchy Gentleman

Bell'Antonio by Hilde Soliani, so warm and virile.
Terre D' Hermes, Encre Noir, or even Puig's Quorum
I like:
Fougere Royale
Lubin Itasca
Divine L'homme sage
Puredistance M
Kiel's orignal musk
Chanel Sycomore or Malle's VE
Helmut Lang's Cuiron is fantastic too but hard to find and VERY expensive...
I just recently purchased Aventus after being oblivious of the hype and I can honestly say it's awesome! Totally masculine, not at all sweet, and I've honestly been amazed at how many compliments I've gotten from it (which is not at all why I wear fragrances), but it is a well crafted modern male fragrance for any age in my mind. I love TdH but think it is a bit too mature and does have a slight old man vibe (hey, I'm an old man, haha), Rive Gauche for a 19 year old, no way in my opinion. Good luck in your search!
Pascal Morabito's OR BLACK . If you can survive the brutal opening, it's simply a remarkable fragrance . Look no further.
OFF SITE SALES, DECANTS ---Dior,Chanel MFK, MOLECULE 01* VINTAGE ANTAEUS*
Joop homme if you dare

I would vote for Terre d'Hermes
For potent, look no further than Black Afgano.
Many grt vintages already mentioned, I'll add TrussardiU omo to that lis.
My Ultimate Top 5:
Fahrenheit (1988)
Paul Smith Man (2009)
Burberry London (2006)
Prada Amber pour Homme (2006)
Arpege pour Homme (2005)
I strongly suggest that you try Uomo by Carthusia. If you like Platinum Egoiste, this is in the same ballpark (though doesn't smell the same at all), but so much better.
Current Top Ten:
1) Polo Crest
2) Chypre Palatin
3) 34 Boulevard Saint Germain
4) One Man Show Gold Edition
5) Kouros (Vintage)
6) Mamluk
7) Tobacco Vanille
8) Interlude Man
9) More than Words
10) Ungaro II (Vintage)
Terre d'Hermes (edt version): classy, earthy, orange
Dior Homme Sport: lemons & ginger with iris and cedar
Tom Ford Grey Vetiver: very modern vetiver, classy and bright
Creed Aventus: may start fruity but smokiness takes over

Climb out of your tent, slip into the backcountry.com The Goat Women's T-Shirt, and get ready for a serious rest day filled with hardcore reading, snoozing in the sun, and maybe even a slackline session. The Goat's Dri-Release cotton/poly blend is soft, quick-drying, and moisture-wicking, so you stay comfy even if you drift off in noontime rays. It's also odor-resistant, so you won't drive your partners to wear clothespins on their noses after two weeks of sporting your new T-shirt from morning 'til night.

Great Gift Option

This is a great option for anyone looking to buy a gift for someone. The fit is great and overall this is just a high quality shirt. I bought this for my mom on mothers day and she loved it!

After falling in love with Back Country, I wanted to represent, and this shirt helps with just that. Every time I go out with it, people say "A goat, how cute!" And I just have to start talking about Back Country. Fits great, and after several washes, still remains soft.

Great fit & feel

This tee fits my athletic build perfectly with enough room around the shoulders and bust and enough length to cover my belt loops but not look like a dress. The fabric is awesome - driRelease really is quick drying, soft, and a nice medium weight.

I recently gave this as a gift to my significant other . We have washed it now a few times, and it still looks new and is soft. the sizes seem to run true to size, and this was confirmed by wife. There is also no shrinkage which also adds to the appeal of this shirt.
Nice fabric and great fit.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
This t-shirt seems to be high-quality and the fit is nice. The bottom part of the t-shirt doesn't hug my waste as tight as other t-shirts which I appreciate. Their is nothing more annoying than having to adjust your shirt a million times a day to avoid looking fat.

30 Issues in 30 Days: The Schedule
Monday, September 20, 2010
The Brian Lehrer Show and It's A Free Country bring you the fall election series 30 Issues in 30 Days. Rather than just focus on the electoral horserace, we will explore one issue every day from tomorrow until election day - issues of relevance to the NY, NJ and CT elections and the national midterm congressional races.
This year, we are framing each issue as a true/false statement. These statements are conversation starters that we hope will lead to broader issues, valuable debate and useful information. You'll also see that each Thursday we are doing a segment called WONK WARS. For these, the conversation begins online in advance. We'll invite two policy thinkers to discuss the topic ahead of the on-air segment, and invite you to participate. Be sure to visit the WONK WARS pages now.
Below is our list of statements - some we came up with, others were suggested by you (those are the ones with a **). Each Friday we're reserving a slot for a listener-voted issue, so thanks for your input!

In 30 issues in 30 days I am amazed not beeing able to find issue which I consider the most devastating to the US economy. No-one discusses it in election debates, no economist addresses it. The issue is outsourcing of well paid jobs from the USA to India, China, Russia, etc. It is happening at this moment. No stimulus package, no small business is going to create jobs. They are gone and not coming back until our standard of living is destroyed to the lever of India or China. In software consulting young Indians are brought on working visa to this country and hired by Indian owned consulting firm for 1/2 of what american graduate would expect to earn. Our way of life is being destroyed while the media is feeding us with idiotic programs and issues. Please talk about american jobs taken out of this country and where politicians stand on this issue.
I also would like discussion on Indian Point. I also want to know how you can have on air the republican candidate in the 19th D and not the Democrat-John Hall.What is this=Fox news.
indian Point.
Can you please do a piece on the Big Money donation in progressive politics? Thanks. Enjoy your show.
Is a $12 million family a person? The "Angelides Loophole" http://open.salon.com//blog/nyframed/2010/10/05/is_a_12_million_family_a_person_the_angelides_loophole
Andrew Cuomo's office is currently representing Hunter College administration against the Hunter Parent Union. The College is trying to appropriate 25% of the Childhood Learning Center for use of filing space. They have also refused to let parents sit on the Center's board. Most students that use the center are black and latino outerborough undergraduates who have no other childcare options. The Center has also been waiting over a year for the Board's okay to renovate a playground (which parents have raised funds to fix). Children currently use the gymnasium instead. I'd like to know where Cuomo stands on the issue of CUNY's childcare centers.
Please consider doing a segment on energy and energy infrastructure. The issue of NYS energy and Indian Point are the elephant in the room in NY politics. By using 1% of the defense budget (R&D) to build truly sustainable energy we would create jobs, help the economy and stop our dependency on foreign oil and deadly/costly nuclear.
Could you possibly squeeze in at least one follow up to the Dan Gross and Steve Moore segment about the stimulus? It's a great current issue. The guests were perfectly matched. Moore brought up Reagan's tax cuts twice;both times it went unchallenged. Is it even fair to compare the crisis Obama has to deal with to what Reagan had. So many other statements from both guests that weren't given enough time to examine.
Just one follow up... PLEASE?!!
Mr Lehrer I enjoy your show and I realize you arent in a position to argue with guests or callers how ever there are a couple of questions I would like panelist to answer when appropriate
Re illegal immigration. has anyone stopped to consider the impact on col, if all immigrants were deported, who presently work in Agriculture, meat packing, construction and hospitality, to name a few?
In my view the logical solution to immigrants is to pursue charges against some high level employers of illlegals, to include jail time and/or fines ..ergo no jobs ..no immigration
Brian! You are brilliant, but some constructive criticisism - please!
Newt Gingrich just asserted that the current "welfare economoy" is the product of "4 years of Obama, Reid & Pelosi". For starters, last I checked Obama has been in 20 months...as for 8 years of Bush policy that created this...wel,, you know the rest. How can Gingrich be allowed to assert lies and distortions unchallenged like this on your show?
This rings of the time you let Denny Hastert claim George Soros got his money as a drug dealer. This too went unchallenged. He earned it in the stock market.
These Republicans are beneath contempt.
Additional QUESTION :
Do the French middle class have a better standard of living than we do ?
The French middle class get 5-6 weeks
of vacation per year, have stable secure jobs which can't be terminated at whim, have free excellent healthcare, and
have free or very inexpensive universities.
They get generous parental leave and
retirement benefits.
There is currently an uproar by the middle
class against the government trying to increase the retirement age from 60 to 62!
Do they have something right that we are
missing ? Is the French middle class better off on average than our middle class ?
Naturally, the government elites in France (as here) are trying to do the old tactic of scaring the public into giving up their hard won benefits and good lifestyle.
These elites catastophize and tell everyone
that "the sky is falling" (claiming that the
society cant afford to treat its middle class well (or even decently) anymore - due to the new global economy.
The French middle class aren't so easily
cowed - they've seen this "boy who cried
wolf tactic before". They respond - "we were able to afford a good lifestyle before, and now the economy and technology is supposed to be more efficient - so we can afford it now." "If the ruling elites are so
thrilled about austerity, they should try it
for themselves FIRST." "If globalization means our middle class will be impovrished and have to live on the edge,
then to heck with globalization."
The French middle class don't just object
with words - they use farm equipment, vocal rallies and strikes to force the government to pay them the respect they
Do the French middle class have a better standard of living (and security of living) than our middle class ?
Should we be learning anything from them ?
Is it too late to suggest another issue? If not, then I'd like to add the Indian Point nuclear power plant.
Thank you.
The "The United States Has Too Many Immigrants" is an issue? Is the Brian Lehrer Show pandering to nativists? Am also surprised how the list leaves out race and ethnicity. Come on Brian, these are issues that affect all of us. This country was built on immigrant and slave labor and has inherited racism and xenophobia which pervades into society and public policies of today. This sounds like a real issue to me.
Hmm. Racial bigotry in local, state, and national politics is NOT a listed issue. Witness NYC's reelection of its billionaire Mayor despite his and its City Council pushing aside term limits; the media-reported low "public" opinion of Gov. Paterson; and the irrational beliefs of some in the USA that President Obama is not a citizen, or a Christian, but is a Socialist. Witness conservative, libertarian, wing-nut NY Republicans' overwhelming selection of Palladino as their gubernatorial nominee despite his reportedly forwarding racially bigoted, intemperate emails. Witness News Corp/Fox News', fascist radio talk hosts and politicos', and other media misrepresentions of the proposed Park51, and generation of anti-Muslim public sentiment around the USA.
I'm really disappointed that the Environment and Urban Planning are not on here. Even Climate Change is just an optional topic. I believe it should be a mandatory topic!
This is all fair and dandy. You do the 30 issues in 30 days for every election in the last few years. What I would like to know is where did the issues go in terms of getting resolved with a bill passed, not a diluted bill.
It would be nice for you to see if you can hold the elected officials on accountable and give us a status report.

Mandating BackUp Cameras In New Vehicles Built In Model Year 2014 And After Is Not The Answer To Preventing "Back Over" Accidents- Reports BackUp Better, llc
Over the last 15-20 years, 75-100 Million SUV's, MiniVans, and Station Wagons were built and sold with a 15-45 feet "Blind Spot" right behind those types of vehicles
Redding, CT (PRWEB) October 10, 2012
Yes, having the NHTSA and Congress mandate that all vehicles starting with model year 2014 must have a built-in backup camera is a great idea. However that doesn't address the 75-100 Million Suv's, Minivans, "CrossOvers", and station wagons that were built and sold over the last 15-20 years and are already on the road right now. These types of vehicles are the real problem. "Back Over" accidents, when a Mom or a relative backs over her own child in her own driveway occur 50 times every week, so states the NHTSA and KidsAndCars.org, a major website on children and vehicle safety. When one of these "Back Over" accidents usually happen, the driver is most often driving one of these older vehicles, not a new vehicle with a built-in backup camera. Why does this happen 50 times every week? Because there is a very large "http://www. backupbetter.com [http://www. __title__ backupbetter]backupbetter.com [Blind Spot" __title__ backupbetter] right behind those vehicles.
The NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) has determined with these types of vehicles, the driver cannot see the first 15-40+ feet right behind their vehicle which the NHTSA calls "the blind zone" or what most people refer to as their "blind spot". Congress has now mandated that all new vehicles starting with the 2014 model year must have backup cameras, which is a great idea. However the real problem is all those 70-90 million vehicles already on the road, which have large blind spots and which are causing all these "Back Over" accidents – 50 times every week. Imagine backing over a young child, killing the child, and having to live with that for the rest of your life. Horrific.
Recently, several companies have started to come out with new add-on vehicle safety products which address this rearward vision problem There are back window lenses that show what is in the "blind spot" and add-on blind spot mirrors that also help you see rearward and along the side of any vehicle better. These new add-on vehicle safety devices can almost double a driver's rearward vision and dramatically reduce and almost eliminate the chances of having one of these horrific "back over" accidents.
These new products, unlike trying to retrofit a backup camera system into a used car, (which can cost anywhere from $350-$500), are inexpensive, a fraction of the cost of a backup camera, easy to install and use, and most of all, they work very effectively. With these new products everybody still sees everything they always did when looking backwards,and they also see what is right behind their vehicle in their "blind spot", because of these back window lenses and add-on mirrors. With the backup camera, all that is seen is what the camera sees because the camera screen is on the car's dashboard. That causes the driver to look forward to see backward and all the driver sees is what the camera sees, not the rest of the driver's normal field of vision which is much larger than what is seen by just the camera. Now drivers will be able to see a lot more with these add-on back window lenses and blind spot mirrors. Anybody who drives one of the 70-90+ million SUV's, station wagons and minivans that were sold over the last 15-20 years, has serious blind spot and rear vision problems, something the NHTSA has documented. Fortunately there are now inexpensive and very effective solutions to fix these problems. These add-on driver's visual aids are now available at – backupbetter.com, a new company that specializes in vehicle safety products. There are viable alternatives to vehicle backup cameras for vehicles that are already on the road. If you drive an older vehicle, make it safer, feel more confident backing up, and save lifes. Peace of mind is a wonderful thing – address this problem if need be right now

Kim Kardashian used a rather democratic medium to talk about her break up with Reggie Bush on Wednesday–taking to her official blog rather than releasing a statement.
"I just wanted to let you all know that I truly appreciate all the love and support I've been receiving over the last 48 hours. I just want you all to know I'm doing okay, and I really appreciate your support," Kardashian said.

"I've been reading all your comments and I really have the best fans ever!" she wrote.

RICHMOND, Va. - This was supposed to be Kyle Busch's runaway championship. Then Carl Edwards turned up the heat.Not to be overlooked, though, is Jimmie Johnson. He's thrown his experience and some momentum into the fray, and is now a legitimate threat to win his third consecutive title. The two-time defending NASCAR champion held off winless Tony Stewart on Sunday at Richmond International Raceway to grab his second consecutive win, fourth overall this season, and take a big boost into the Chase for the championship. Johnson is trying to become the first driver to win three straight titles since Cale Yarborough (1976-78), but doesn't want to focus on the historical possibilties in front of him. 'I do think about it,' admitted Johnson, 'but the less I think about it, the better I'm going to be. The less I can think about all this stuff the last 10 races, the better I am going to be. I just need to fall back to the confidence I have in my race team and my abilities. 'If you show up and you're swinging for the fences every time, you're going to make mistakes.' Johnson hasn't of late, chasing down Busch and Edwards to arguably claim the role of championship favorite. Busch, winner of eight Cup races this season, is the top seed in the Chase. Edwards is second based on his six victories and Johnson is third. They are the only three drivers in the field with multiple wins, and five of the contenders start the Chase winless on the season. Edwards, however, believes all 12 drivers will have a shot at the title when the 10-race Chase begins next Sunday in New Hampshire. 'Anything can happen,' he said. 'I think it's going to be defined by your bad days.' And there were plenty of them on Sunday: Busch was wrecked twice - once by Dale Earnhardt Jr. while leading - and David Ragan had numerous on-track miscues to eliminate himself from Chase contention in a race delayed a day by NASCAR because of Tropical Storm Hanna. Ragan and Kasey Kahne were the only two drivers mathematically eligible to race their way into the Chase field. Ragan put on a gutsy push before contact with other cars ended his run with a 32nd-place finish. 'Regardless of how we ended today, I told everyone before the race whether we made the Chase or not, it wasn't going to be solely on the Richmond race,' Ragan said. 'I can look back at three or four races earlier in the year where we didn't do a good job and resulted in the loss of a few points.' Kahne finished 19th, giving the final Chase spot to Clint Bowyer. 'I drove everything I could all day,' Kahne said. 'It was a long day in the pits - we came out close to last almost every time. But we were never going to beat Clint.' The Chase field according to seeding is Busch, Edwards, Johnson, Earnhardt, Bowyer, Denny Hamlin, Jeff Burton, Tony Stewart, Greg Biffle, Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick and Matt Kenseth. Busch had a rough day at Richmond in his final tuneup for his title run, starting with the wreck with Earnhardt that delighted the crowd. It was a reverse of the May race here, when Busch wrecked Earnhardt when Earnhardt was leading. Earnhardt said Sunday's contact wasn't deliberate or retribution. 'If I wreck somebody, I ain't going to leave him in good enough shape to come back and get me in the same race,' Earnhardt said. 'I really ain't never wrecked anybody on purpose. If I wanted to do it, I would do it really, really good.' Busch, who was later wrecked by Elliott Sadler, finished 15th and downplayed the Earnhardt incident. 'Was that revenge? Who knows,' Busch said. Edwards also had a long day after an early tire problem. He finished 13th. Johnson, meanwhile, was steady and eventually passed Stewart and Martin Truex for the lead with 34 laps to go. He then had to hold off Stewart's late challenge over the final 10 laps. 'That's how you want to win a race - going against the best in the business, and Tony is certainly one of those guys,' Johnson said. Stewart, along with Gordon, is one of the winless drivers headed into the Chase and neither has ever gone this deep into the season without a victory. Stewart was visibly frustrated after failing to catch Johnson and end his 39-race winless streak. 'That's probably one of the greatest races I think I've ever had here at Richmond, racing there with Jimmie like that,' Stewart said. 'Just leave it as we run second and we had a good hard-fought battle and we just fell short. 'I mean, that's the moral of the story. We could sit here for hours and try to dissect exactly why we didn't win the race. But you know, we still had a good run.'

Heidi: I live in Aurora, and have been checking out dojos online. I just quit smoking, and want to get in shape, however, I mainly want to study Judo for self defense. I personally don't give a rip about competing (I will be 50 on Saturday), do you still recommend Denver Judo for self defense?

Coexistence Proof Using Chain of Timestamps for Multiple RFID Tags
Date Added: Sep 2009
Format: PDF
How can a RFID (Radio Frequency Identification Devices) system prove that two or more RFID tags are in the same location? Previous researchers have proposed yoking-proof and grouping-proof techniques to address this problem - and when these turned out to be vulnerable to replay attacks, a new existence-proof technique was proposed. The paper critiques this class of existence-proofs and show it has three problems: a race condition when multiple readers are present; a race condition when multiple tags are present; and a problem determining the number of tags. The paper presents two new proof techniques, a secure timestamp proof (secTS-proof) and a timestamp-chaining proof (chaining-proof) that avoids replay attacks and solve problems in previously proposed techniques.

Home / Physical Preparation : Training Plans
Knowledge level: Beginner
Article posted: 04/02/2015
The British Cycling Seven Week Panic Plan is ideal for already active non cyclists or cyclists who've recently neglected their training. In seven weeks it'll have you ready to tackle a 60-mile (100 km) sportive.
Download the Seven Week Panic Plan here:
Who's it suitable for?
If you're a gym member, runner, team or racket sports players, you might have signed up for a cycling challenge but are unsure how to train for it. It might seem daunting but, with your existing fitness base and some hard work, it is an attainable goal.
Constructed by the same experts as all of the British Cycling Training Plans, the Seven Week Panic Plan is a structured and progressive schedule that will deliver you to the start line of a 100 km sportive or Charity Challenge Ride cycling fit in seven weeks.
It's not a shortcut plan that promises fast results in quick time with minimal effort. It requires a certain existing fitness level and a commitment to consistent training for the entire seven weeks.
How much training is involved?
The training weeks are typically broken down in three rides, one midweek and two at the weekend. There is also a cross training session, an optional bonus session and two rest days. The volume of training is between 4-8 hours per week and training days can easily be swapped to fit the plan around your life.
Is it all cycling?
No, cross training workouts are an important part of the plan. Don't worry if you can't manage dedicated sessions, even doing regular flexibility work or using a foam roller daily at home will benefit your riding. Cross training helps to prevent boredom, provides options if you're unable to ride, builds all-round injury preventing robustness and allows you to carry on participating in non-cycling activities.
What equipment do I need?
Most importantly, you'll need a reliable and roadworthy bike. If it's a mountain bike or hybrid, you should consider fitting slick tyres to make riding on the road more efficient. However, for a sportive, a dedicated road bike would be best. Here is some bike buying advice. Don't forget to include accessories, such as a helmet, shoes and the essential spares and tools you should carry when riding, in your budget. If you've already got a bike but it has been sat unloved in the shed for a while, book it into your local bike shop for a check over and service.
All sessions in the plan specify heart rate zones and target cadences so you will need a cycling computer/heart rate monitor that displays this information. Use these guides to find out why objectively monitoring your riding intensity is so important and advice about buying and using a heart rate monitor.
You'll be riding through the winter but, with modern kit and clothing, you can stay warm, dry and comfortable. There are also a number of steps you can take to winter-proof your bike.
The midweek sessions give you the option to use an indoor trainer. This isn't just to keep you sheltered from the British winter but it provides a highly effective, controllable and time efficient way to train. Don't forget if you're a member of a gym or health club already, you could use a spinning or exercise bike there. Here is some advice on indoor trainers.
How will the plan be delivered?
The overview of the entire 7-week plan and detailed weekly plans are all available on the site to allow you to see how it progresses and the commitment that you are making.
What other support will there be?
Within the weekly plans, there are links to key articles but you should also browse the site for information, video guides and expert advice on all areas of cycling.
You can also e-mail us at email@example.com with any queries you may have regarding the plan and your training.

Expert review of Firefly
Firefly is a restaurant (or, technically, tapas bar) that's legendary with Vegas locals, but very rarely patronised by tourists. Which is a huge shame - yes, it's off the Strip, but it's right by the Hard Rock and Rumor hotels, and it's a five minute cab ride for anyone else. Prices are extremely low, the food is wonderful and the atmosphere is unlike anything you'll find on the Strip. When I want to "be a local", it's my first port of call.
There's a huge list of tapas: hot tapas, cold tapas, meat and poultry tapas, and seafood tapas - as well as a selection of regular main courses as well. Portions aren't huge, though, and prices are low, so you can afford to order a few things. The signature drink is (of course) sangria.
The stuffed dates, which come wrapped in bacon and stuffed with smoked almond, blue cheese and a red wine reduction. Absolutely delicious.
Very laid back. The place is always packed, but it's full of locals so people are dressed down and more relaxed than on Strip properties.
Again, it's relaxed but fast.
On Paradise, a few blocks off the Strip, near the Hard Rock. It's about a five minute drive from the central Strip.
Tapas dishes from US$3.50.
They opened a branch in the Plaza Hotel in Downtown Las Vegas this year (1 Main Street, 702-380-1352, open for dinner only) but I prefer the original. The Paradise location is more easily accessible from the Strip, too.

Syrian regime airstrikes kill 21 in eastern city
Lebanon, a country that suffered its own 15-year civil war from 1975 to 1990, has an explosive sectarian mix of Sunni and Shiite Muslims, Christians and Palestinian refugees, as well as deep divisions between pro- and anti-Syrian factions.
Syria was in virtual control of its smaller neighbor for many years, posting tens of thousands of troops in Lebanon, before withdrawing under international pressure in 2005. Even without soldiers on the ground, Syria remains influential in the country, and its civil war has stirred longstanding tensions that have lain under Lebanon's surface.
Clashes over the past few days in Tripoli represent some of the most serious fighting in Lebanon in several months. The mostly Sunni city weathered gunbattles in May, when fighting over Syria killed eight people.
Tensions surged Monday. Several attempts to mediate a cease-fire have failed. In all, 17 people have been killed in the city this week, and more than 100 have been wounded.
The Local Coordination Committees, an activist network that monitors violence and rights abuses in Syria, said on Friday that a Syrian film producer has not been heard of since he arrived at the Damascus airport on Thursday to board a flight for Cairo, Egypt.
It said Orwa Nyrabia has not contacted his family since and is likely to have been detained by authorities at the airport. There was no word from Syrian authorities on his fate. Nyrabia also was an organizer of a documentary film festival in Syria before the uprising.
The wife of a journalist for a U.S.-funded television network who was reported missing in Syria said Friday he is believed to be in the custody of pro-government forces there. Alhurra TV correspondent Bashar Fahmi, a Jordanian citizen of Palestinian origin, and his Turkish cameraman, Cuneyt Unal, are said to have been captured in the city of Aleppo after entering Syria on Monday.
Fahmi's wife, Arzu Kadumi , said she had been informed of witness reports that her husband was seen alive.
Turkish journalist Murat Can, who has investigated the case, says his contacts informed him that Fahmi was injured in the shoulder, and that he and Unal had been captured by pro-government militiamen known as "shabiha."
A third journalist, Austin Tice has reported for The Washington Post, McClatchy Newspapers and other media outlets from the Middle Eastern country, is also reported missing in Syria.
His father, Marc Tice, said his son hasn't been in contact with his editors or his family in Texas in more than a week.
The Washington Post reported that the 31-year-old Tice spent time with rebel fighters in the north after entering Syria from Turkey in May. He then traveled to Damascus, where he was one of the few Western journalists reporting from the capital.
Assad's army has been stepping up its use of airpower in the fight to stop the rebels, and fighter jets have increasingly carried out bombing runs that kill rebels but also often claim civilian lives.
In the northern town of al-Bab, about 100 men marched through the streets bearing the body of a rebel fighter killed in a government airstrike Friday on a farmhouse his brigade was using as a base.

Please be merciful.. this is my first review.
Yesterday I decided to smoke the only gifted cigar I had from a friend. It was a Tabak Especial - Robusto Dulce from Drew Estate. I prepared the hottub while turned off to have a nice hot surrounding while not impairing the flavors because the pumps were not running. It is very rare that I get to enjoy a cigar more than once every few months so I tried to have some fun with this one. Here's how that played out.
Disclaimer: My palete is ridiculously inexperienced, so the opinions, images and review expressed here are opinionated and entirely from my own point of view.
Size: 5 x 54
Shape: Robusto
Filler: Nicaragua
Strength: Medium-full
Attachment 71778
The construction on the cigar is well.. unknown to me as I'm a newb, but I'd say that it seemed firm, had one large vein noticeable in the picture, no soft spots on any of the area, no visible damage after receiving it a week ago, though some obvious multi-coloring of the leaf can be seen on the head. I'm certain it wasn't humidified before I got it, and then only in a humidor bag for about a week as my humidor seasoned once I took hold of it. There is of particular note, a strange happening with the foot of this cigar, as it seems all of the Tabak Especial's has, and that is it looks like the front of it exploded a bit. There is also a classic style band near the head, and a bronze embossed lettering band on the foot.
Initial Impressions:
The cigar has a very overpowering scent of molasses and undercooked cocoa. As I'm not a coffee drinker and never have had such drinks, I would say that this is probably the specific scent, but the more commonly understood scent would be that of a gourmet coffee. Also of note, is that the scent seems to be quite pungent, as touching it maintains it on the skin for quite some time. It is in all aspects, an appealing yet if unbalanced smell.
Onto the smoking!
First, the locale:
Attachment 71779
Now for the cigar.
First third:
Attachment 71781
I attempted to toast the cigar with my Bugatti B1 torch lighter but as I'm quite new to toasting and using torch lighters I can't be certain I did it properly. That being said, while it lit quite easily, I'm certain I may have burnt it in some form, though this did not seem to impair the cigar. On what I'll call the "first draw", I received an abundance of that molasses and cocoa sensation on my tongue, which lingered on the tongue for quite some time. It was overpowering and distracted from the textures of the cigar which were harder to make out, but the draw was very smooth and easy, and smoke was plentiful with a white-milky appearance. The cigar stayed pretty much the same throughout the first third, and by end of this part of the cigar the ash fell off appearing like a golden graham cracker.
Attachment 71782
Attachment 71788
While in the hot tub, a deadly killer wasp decided to drop out of the air and land in the tub, sending me scrambling around trying to get it out. It seems it was trying to tell me something that I wouldn't realize until later. It drowned and didn't even get a burial. It occurs to me that the "Wasps" might be a fun bomb group name.
Second third:
Attachment 71784
So far I am not getting much from this cigar other than what was in the initial impressions. The consistency is the same, it holds on well, and the ash while a little lopsided at times appears good. As for the flavors, it has began to transition into something a bit more bitter as well as becoming hotter to smoke, though its overpowering cocoa scent remains albeit the molasses are now clearly burnt and leave a longer impression on the tongue. At this point I took off the band which came off quite easily. The second third also had an on the mark ash falling, though it was more dark gray rather than graham cracker. Also, the burn line while about as straight a path as a drunk man's car, didn't seem to cause any problems with the cigar.
Midway Impressions:
Attachment 71795
This cigar's flavor profile reminds me of french kissing a camel, specifically one that has had water recently. Speaking of water, that happens to be the drink I'm using to keep my palette (which sucks) fresh, but at the same time it is because of the monolithic amount of saliva this cigar seems to elicit.
The killer wasp's friend showed up. It looked at me menacingly knowing that I'd only be able to share it with terrible out of focus long distance photos. Strangely enough it avoided its fallen friend's fate and also avoided the corpse.
Final Third:
Attachment 71792
The burn line remains quite bumpy and a small piece in the center of what remains of this cigar is now tearing off the wrapper. The scent is beginning to finally wane and become less intense, while the cigar itself has become increasingly hot and a new tone of vanilla has entered the fray it seems, unfortunately this cigar is simply too short to allow for that and the burnt molasses and now overcooked and burnt cocoa flavors are overpowering the cigars last (and really only) trick. By now it has become incredibly soft and has been smoked to what I would call the "nub" and further smoking will just continue to burn my tongue so I will set this down now.
Attachment 71793
Attachment 71798
This cigar in itself is the worst I've ever smoked (incase you couldn't tell I didn't like it), and that's saying something as I once had an Alec Bradley M23 (or 32 or w/e) Family Blend that literally tasted like I was chewing on raw meat. Which is not the type of flavor I seek in a cigar. As I put earlier, I am not a coffee drinker nor have I even tried it, but if this is what coffee is like then count me out. While I'm certain some people will like this cigar as the reviews on other sites seem to tout it as the gift from heaven, it isn't something I could recommend to anyone that wasn't fond of coffee or at the least, a camel's tongue in your mouth sloshing away and writhing around.
I don't get how people rate things well even though they hate it, since just because the construction is good (this cigar has good construction), the burn is okay (the burn is okay), it looks good (sure why not), and it didn't explode on you (it looked like it though), it somehow gets an 80 despite them saying "I didn't like it".
So my rating is a 5/10, it get a D as it probably isn't worthy of the worst cigar in existence award, and I would NOT have this again unless I were bribed (yes I am bribable). That being said, this cigar seriously makes me consider not having another cigar ever again for the potential of it being as bad as this. Not a good first starter stick or starter stick at all. Give this to your enemy, then tell him not to smoke it, make him your ally.
Like gourmet coffee? Try this cigar.
Not a fan of coffee or haven't tried it? Don't try this cigar.
Have this cigar and don't want to toss it? Have this cigar before one you really like, to appreciate it that much more --allow 30 minutes to clear the overpowering scent from your mouth and wash your hands or you'll smell it forever.
Camel's mouth, french kissing, killer wasps drowning, menacing stares, barbecue chips.
Instead of having ketchup chips like some people on chat would have you like, I cleared my mouth of this taste prior to tooth brushing and powerful toothpaste with an entire can of STAX, eaten in about 1 minute.
Sorry my post is long this is my first review, I wanted to be detailed and specific so as to give me a better chance of winning the newb review contest or at the least making one note worthy.
Since it was said boobs add's points and it was mentioned... here are the "pizza" boobs.

The New YorkerWhile walking in South Africa in 1829, the British missionary Robert Moffat came upon a giant fig tree so large that, according to his report, it housed seventeen huts in its branches. The historian Thomas Pakenham, in Remarkable Trees of the World</-a>, spent four years searching for such giants -- "trees with noble brows and strong personalities" -- and recording their mythologies. The baobab, native to Africa, Madagascar, and Australia, was of special interest to him; according to African legend, trees were gifts to animals from the Great Spirit, and the hyena, enraged to be given the baobab, speared it into the ground, leaving its tangled roots to become branches. American trees are equally impressive: one of California's ancient sequoias, the "Stratosphere Giant," stands taller than a thirty-story skyscraper.
In 1848, New York needed trees: they were considered the "lungs of the City," according to a new field guide published by the city's Department of Parks and Recreation, New York City Trees, written and illustrated by Edward Sibley Barnard. The guide describes more than a hundred local species, and it also explains which park was razed by Civil War soldiers, why Orchard Street is so named, and where to find the city's little-known sassafras thickets.
The environmentalist Robert Marshall's The People's Forests first published in 1933, urges public ownership of forestland to guard against logging and other urban perils. On the other hand, Marshall acknowledges the persistence of nature. "The death of the forest and the death of man are not quite the same," he writes. "When a man dies it is the end."( Lauren Porcaro)

If you've spent most of your time behind the lens shooting JPEG files, the format most casual point-and-shoot cameras capture by default, making the leap to shooting in Camera RAW is a revelation.
The uncompressed RAW image format allows unrivaled control over your finished product. With RAW, you can effectively go back to the scene of the shoot and re-adjust the exposure, change the white balance, alter the contrast and make dozens of other tweaks that JPEG files don't allow for. That's why the RAW format is preferred by the vast majority of digital photographers, from the professionals down to the serious hobbyists. Once you go RAW, you don't go back.
However, Camera RAW images make for a much more complicated workflow. Gone are the days of plugging your camera into a computer and seeing your images printed on paper or posted to Flickr instantly. Given the increased complexity of Camera RAW images, it's not surprising that whole new crop of images editors have come around to help you deal with the workflow requirements.
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2 ($300, or $100 upgrade) is one such image editor. It has much of the brawn and brains of Adobe's flagship Photoshop app, but it's been built to more specifically fulfill the unique demands of the Camera RAW workflow. The software industry calls these "digital darkroom" applications because they are set up to closely mimic the steps you'd take while making a print in a darkroom from a strip of film.Continue Reading "Lightroom Tutorial" »

Reports of a transatlantic rift have been greatly exaggerated
- By Stephen M. WaltStephen M. Walt is the Robert and Renée Belfer professor of international relations at Harvard University.
European officials are reportedly "miffed" that President Obama isn't going to attend an EU summit in Spain this May. The Times says that the summit may be postponed, and England's Guardian refers to a "diplomatic row," says the summit might be canceled entirely, and quotes one unnamed envoy saying "if there is no Obama, there is no summit." By contrast, the Financial Times takes a more measured view. Instead of a headline emphasizing a riff, spat or snub, the FT headline says "EU Leaders Play Down Obama Decision on Summit," and the story quotes EU foreign policy head Catherine Ashton describing U.S.-EU relations as "warm" and "good" and refusing to turn this into a big diplomatic incident.
I see the whole thing as a positive development all around. EU leaders will be making a big mistake if they postpone the summit, as Obama's absence is an ideal opportunity to show they are beginning to stand on their own two (I mean, fifty-four) feet after a half-century of supine dependence on Washington (De Gaulle notwithstanding). Americans have always been ambivalent about European unity (we like Europe to act as one, provided it is doing exactly what we want), but Europe and America would all be better off if Europe were a) more capable of shaping world events on its own; b) better equipped to give the United States sound strategic advice, even if it sometimes differed from Washington's current whims, and c) less reliant on residual U.S. protection. I might think differently if America's strategic judgment was infallible, but who believes that anymore?
Obama is doing the right thing here by staying away. He's got plenty of other problems to deal with these days, and Europe is perhaps the one major part of the planet that doesn't need his attention right now. It's a a set of stable, democratic, market-based societies facing no external threats that it lacks the wherewithal to handle, including the overblown threat of a resurgent Russia. (According to the IISS, NATO's European members spent $310 billion on defense in 2007; Russia spent about $36 billion). So if the United States is looking for places where it can reduce its current commitments without imperiling global stability, surely Europe is the place to start. And remember that all we are talking about here is a decision by the White House to forego another trip to Europe (where he's already been several times). Furthermore, putting Europe on the back burner may even encourage Europe to do more on various common projects, to remind Washington that transatlantic relations should not be taken for granted.
So Obama's decision to stay home is the right call, and Ashton's response is the right reaction. Let's hope the FT's measured response carries the day, and not the somewhat overheated interpretations put out by the Times or the Guardian.

|McMurray, Dixon swap rides at Alabama tracks
|Written by Admin
|Wednesday, 16 March 2011 10:55
McMurray took a few laps around Barber Motorsports Park in suburban Birmingham in Dixon's No. 9 Target Honda Indy car on Wednesday. Then, they headed 30 minutes away to Talladega Superspeedway, where Dixon climbed behind the wheel of McMurray's No. 1 Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet.
The car-swapping was part of a promotion for races at both tracks on back-to-back weekends in April.
Both drivers enjoyed the ride. After his run, Dixon told his NASCAR counterpart the car was ``like a Cadillac. It's so smooth.''
McMurray said the Barber laps were ``way more fun that I thought it would be.'' He did have a spinout after taking one turn.
But even that, he says, is just part of racing.

Fish execs are over thinking this one. Make the damn offer. It's foolish not to at least make an offer.
Originally written on 60 Max Power O | Last updated 11/14/14
The Miami Dolphins either don't want Reggie Bush or have a strange way of showing their interest. While the Dolphins size up free agency, and continue with the idea Lamar Miller is their running back of the future, Bush waits. According to the Palm Beach Post, Bush is befuddled by the lack of interest in him by the Dolphins. His best two seasons have come as a Dolphin, topping the 1,000 yard mark in 2011, and barely missing it by 14 yards in 2012. Bush has played in 31 of 32 games the past two seasons, and answered questions about his durability, carrying the ball over 400 times in the same span. Still, Bush hangs in the balance; waiting for the Dolphins to make an offer that seems isn't coming anytime soon. The Palm Beach Post writes: 'A source close to Reggie Bush said this week that Bush still badly wants to return to Miami, and his camp is confused as to why the Dolphins haven't even made an offer yet. The Dolphins expect big things out of Lamar Miller in his second year next season, and it's possible that even if Bush does return, he would have a limited role in the offense. But Bush, who was in Beijing last week as part of an NFL China initiative, has been essentially campaigning to return on his Twitter feed, particularly given a recent report that he is unlikely to be brought back.' var switchTo5x=true; stLight.options({publisher:''});

Although fascism was largely discredited in Europe at the end of World War II, fascist-inspired movements were founded in several European countries beginning in the late 1940s. Similar groups were created outside Europe as well, primarily in Latin America, the Middle East, and South Africa. Like their fascist predecessors, the "neofascists" advocated militant nationalism and authoritarian values, opposed the liberal individualism of the Enlightenment, attacked Marxist and other left-wing ideologies, indulged in racist and xenophobic scapegoating, portrayed themselves as protectors of traditional national culture and religion, glorified violence and military heroism, and promoted populist right-wing economic programs.
Despite these similarities, however, neofascism was not simply a revival of fascism. Neofascist parties differed from earlier fascist movements in several significant respects, many of them having to do with the profound political, economic, and social changes that took place in Europe in the first decades after the end of the war. For example, whereas fascists assigned much of the blame for their countries' economic problems to the machinations of bolsheviks, liberals, and Jews, neofascists tended to focus on non-European immigrants—such as Turks, Pakistanis, and Algerians—who arrived in increasing numbers beginning in the 1970s. After decades of postwar decolonization, neofascists in western Europe lost interest in taking Lebensraum through military conquest of other states. Instead, they fought battles for "urban space," which in Germany involved conflicts over government-subsidized housing for immigrants. With increasing urbanization also came a shift in the electoral bases of fascist-oriented movements and a consequent decline in the importance of rural romanticism ("blood and soil") in neofascist political rhetoric. Finally, the gradual acceptance of democratic norms by the vast majority of western Europeans reduced the appeal of authoritarian ideologies and required that neofascist parties make a concerted effort to portray themselves as democratic and "mainstream." Some neofascists even included words like "democratic" and "liberal" in the titles of their movements. Most neofascists abandoned the outward trappings of earlier fascist parties, such as paramilitary uniforms and Roman salutes, and many explicitly denounced fascist policies or denied that their parties were fascist. Noting this transformation, in 1996 Roger Eatwell cautioned: "Beware of men—and women—wearing smart Italian suits: the colour is now gray, the material is cut to fit the times, but the aim is still power.…Fascism is on the move once more, even if its most sophisticated forms have learned to dress to suit the times." Similarly, historian Richard Wolin described these movements as "designer fascism."
As with fascist movements of the interwar period, neofascist movements differed from one another in various respects. The rhetoric of neofascists in Russia and the Balkans, for example, tended to be more openly brutal and militaristic than that of the majority of their Western counterparts. Most neofascist movements in Europe pandered to anti-Semitism, though neofascists in Italy and Spain generally did not. Spanish neofascists also differed from most other neofascists in Europe in that they did not make a major issue of immigration. Portuguese, British, and (for a time) Italian neofascists advocated corporatism, in contrast to French and many other Western neofascists, who promoted free-market capitalism and lower taxes. In the 1990s in Russia and eastern Europe, neofascist movements were generally more leftist than their counterparts in western Europe, emphasizing the interests of workers and peasants over those of the urban middle class and calling for "mixed" socialist and capitalist economies.

Mauer's double caps Twins' comeback over Rangers
ARLINGTON, Texas Ron Gardenhire's pregame message to his team Tuesday was to wipe the slate clean from the previous night's embarrassing loss to the Texas Rangers.
The Minnesota Twins paid attention to their veteran manager.
Joe Mauer drove in the go-ahead run with a pinch-hit double off closer Neftali Feliz in a two-run ninth and the Twins rallied for a 9-8 victory over the Rangers.
Minnesota bounced back from Monday night's 20-6 rout when Texas scored the most runs in the majors this season.
"You forget what happened the night before," Gardenhire said. "The guys came in very professional ... and were up for the game. We scored some runs early and we were into the game the whole way."
The Twins trailed 8-7 when they put runners on second and third off Feliz (0-2) on Delmon Young's single and Jim Thome's pinch-double.
Tsuyoshi Nishioka hit a grounder to shortstop Elvis Andrus, who fumbled the ball for an error as Young scored to tie it.
Mauer, getting a game off on a 101-degree night and hitless in his previous eight at-bats, lashed a double to left to score pinch-runner Jason Repko and put the Twins in front.
Gardenhire took advantage of Mauer and Thome coming off the bench with the game on the line.
"Big at-bats by two of our big hitters, and we needed them," Gardenhire said. "We needed this win desperately."
Glen Perkins (3-1) worked a scoreless eighth for the win and Joe Nathan pitched the ninth for his eighth save in 11 chances.
Nathan allowed two baserunners with one out, but recovered to strike out Mitch Moreland and pinch-hitter David Murphy to record his 254th save with the Twins, tying him with Rick Aguilera for the club record.
"For me, it's just an honor to be mentioned with a guy like Rick Aguilera," said Nathan, who nonetheless seemed more pumped about the team win than a personal milestone.
"I think that's the biggest show of character from this team, we get our brains beat in last night and fall down 7-3 tonight and not give up, I think that's one thing we've proven this year," Nathan said.
Yorvit Torrealba homered and went 3 for 4 with a season-high four RBIs for Texas.
Torrealba, who started the night in a 1-for-16 slide, hit a three-run blast in a five-run fourth, going deep for the first time since April 25.
Nelson Cruz maintained his hot streak for the Rangers by going 3 for 3 with two RBIs. Cruz is 15 for 25 with 12 RBIs over his last six games to raise his average from .239 to .267.
The Twins, who had lost four of their previous five, got their offense rolling with a three-run second off All-Star left-hander C.J. Wilson on RBI singles from Drew Butera and Michael Cuddyer, and Alexi Casilla's run-producing groundout.
Texas countered with a two-run second on consecutive RBI doubles by Cruz and Moreland.
In the fourth, Cruz's second double of the game drove in Michael Young from first to tie it at 3.
