So your bf is Santa? For real? :O
Thread: So what did Santa bring you?
Hope all your fragrant wishes came true!
My bf is away for Christmas but left a bottle of Eternity under my tree. Apparently everywhere had sold out of the hoped-for Allure when he did his shopping at the last minute, bless him. l had to laugh because he wears Eternity for men, so we now have "his 'n' hers" scents, l'm not sure how l feel about that! lt's kind of cute but corny. But l do love white florals & it ain't half bad. l'm still hoping he'll pick up some Allure at the airport on his way back, though!

So your bf is Santa? For real? :O
My wonderful husband bought me a bottle of Habanita (one of my most fav frags of all time). He assures me that when I least expect it, he's going to surprise me with my first bottle of Serge Lutens (Arabie).
I also got a great camera! It's been a nice Christmas so far : )
Santa brought me my wonderful Mom to share Christmas with us for the first time in 20 years, and her first time having Christmas with our daughter, her only grandchild.

I didn't ask DH for any perfume this year. I asked him not to buy me any Christmas presents. I don't need a thing, and I'd rather spend on a trip somewhere in early 2011. But he still bought me a couple of presents, some clothes and a new raincoat, which fits thank goodness since I've lost a few pounds. I'm starting my 2011 wish list now. Eternity, as a matter of fact, is on it. I've come to appreciate that fragrance lately, much more than I did when it was first released.
Thank you, Teardrop!
We just got back from taking Mom home after driving her around to see the Christmas lights on local houses. (There's someone around here whose entire front lawn is lighted decorations, from working carousels to 8 ft hight wooden soldiers.) I think she had a good time.
My daughter gave me Lady Vengeance. Unfortunately, I have been the kind of sick when fragrances are unappealing, so I will save it for better days ahead. My husband gave me a silver bead necklace--quite elegant!
Santa left a bottle of DSH Mahjoun with my husband and asked to deliver it to me
I also got a refillable atomizer, a label maker (every perfumista should have one, it said on the label in my DH's handwriting) and a set of cute cat tao glasses (I'm a cat lover, could you tell?)
My Wife bought Creed's Aventus for me.....This is wonderful.....Gary
Well my family had a fragrant holiday -Mom ,Dad and I all got a Bulgari .Dad-Black,Mom -Omnia,Me-Voile de Jasmine .I also got Oro by Paulina Rubio (oops-wanted cavalli)and Mom got Brilliance by Jessica McClintock.My brother got Bang(now I have to rebuy for myself) and my sister-in-law got Liz (which is her first name -I just couldn't resist)
My girlfriend got me Xerjoff Nio. I'm understandably delighted.

Santa brought me some Chanel, too! I got the No. 5 Eau Premiere gift set which includes the EP spray, plus the body cream and bath gel - I love Chanel bath and body products...so luxurious! He also slipped a bottle of Hermès Elixir des Merveilles in my stocking, so I'm feeling quite spoiled!
Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. ..Carl Sagan
Santa replenished my supply of Chergui. Thank you, Santa!
I did very well, except for the cold that Santa brought me at the last minute! Fragrance gifts:

Ho ho ho what a surprise my best friend gave me Infusion d'Homme, not that i really wanted it, but she thought i did, so sweet of her, and it wears easily clean with incense. the d'Iris remindes me too much of my grandma's garden to wear. and i appreciate that my dear friend accepts me wearing fragrances marketed as masculine.
She also put in a home fragrance from Zara home, the Dark Amber and that suits my little dwellings pretty, when in need of someting more fresh than the incenses i ususally burn (the agar wood incense is my latest addiction).
I gave her some musc rose creams from Welleda, a honey scented shower gel and an orange soap made by hand in India. She only wears Eau d'Issey anyway and has 3 back bottles, so she is not getting this from me. I want to give her Cabaret by Gres now i have tested it, a (indeed) transparent rose dipped in champagne, so she gets it in the new year.

I'm enjoying your stories, people. That photo has me completely drawn in, 30R. I'm utterly infatuated with that pair of girls.
In a world where 6 million people are added each month, every landscape matters.
This thread is fabulous! Like Quarry, I'm SO loving that photo of your girls 30roses!
An engraved bell jar from SL, re-supplying of faves, LuckyScent gift cards & wish list suprises! A very Merry Christmas indeed!
My dear hubby doesn't try to buy me any fragrance suprises...so count me among the gift card recipients! He did suprise me with a sterling Tiffany's whistle ~ for my 'recess aide' job at the intermediate school. I LOVE IT!
The last Christmases I have been my own perfume Santa but this year I decided not to buy any perfume for Christmas. But I wished and got a package of three Chanel No 5 soaps from my daughter.
((hugs)) to Ubu and Quarry! I do love my "girls"! Mom had me print out multiple copies of it so she could send it to her friends and her relatives in Italy and Australia!
Great picture, 30 Roses. What a wonderful Christmas. This thread is fabulous!
I received all sorts of smelly things. I think my mom bought out B&BW this year ; lots of lotions & gels; a plumeria-scented gift set from my little sis; Fergie's Outspoken body mist from my mother-in-law (she buys most her beauty products from Avon, and got all the gals perfume this year; I'm the only one to whom she gave something different; so sweet ); DH got me Eau Premiere, which I got to open early and have been thoroughly enjoying ; and last but not least, enough $$ to buy myself a backup of Tabac Blond. (I have been freaking out, as it is almost half empty .)
I must have been really good, I made out like a bandit and feel guilty about it. But sticking to scent related items, my parents got me Narcisse Noir and I bought myself Theorema Esprit d'Ete, figured I'd grab a bottle before all things Theorema are impossible to find.
30Roses, that photo is lovely, a truly wonderful Christmas gift that no price could ever be put on.
As for what I received;
Hubby gave me; Orage and Orgueil, both vintage scents by Lucien Lelong. A Lava lamp that is so pretty and mesmerizing. A cute little toy called "Playful Penguins" where the penguins go up this escalator and slide down a slide and do it all again; a truly awesome thing to watch.
My best friend gave me a vintage 'consignment store find' Bal a Versailles 1oz extrait from the 60's. I was so excited.
Mama gave me Diptyque soaps, L'ombre dans l'eau and Tam Dao and quite a few sweaters, shirts, shoes and a new beret.
Sister in law gave me a gift card to the "Fragrance Bar" to make my own scent. We will see what happens.
In-laws gave me a beautiful camera and a huge vintage "Johnson Bros. Friendly Village" centerpiece bowl they found in an antique store.
Another friend gave me No 5 soap, which is smelling up the whole bedroom...mmmm, delicious.
Hubby also gave me the best present of all. Yesterday, while dropping off my poor Christie's unused special kitty-food at the shelter, we adopted a beautiful new kitty. He is around 1 year old and his name is Barley. Once he has adjusted to home more I will post a photo of him. So even though we started last week off with the heartbreak of our Christie kitty passing. we ended the week by giving another shelter-kitty a forever home. I hope he will be happy and settled in soon.
as for what I gave others, well I sold many of my limited editions and vintage scents on ebay to make money for the holidays, so I gave everyone all they had wanted, or mentioned wanting. So, I hope I made everyone a happy reveler this Christmas season.
Quand on boit l'eau, il faut penser à sa source
Brielle, sounds like you had a wonderful Christmas, and so did Barley, getting a new home where he will be loved.
I haven't received a fragrance gift in a long time, but this Christmas my cousin gave me a bottle of Salvatore Ferragamo pour femme. I don't know how she decided on this fragrance, but I absolutely love it, and it suits me very well!
What's funny is that I kind of dread getting any perfume gifts that I myself haven't picked out, because of my already large collection. I would worry that I will already have it, or that I won't like it. But this gift was so perfect because I have never smelled this fragrance before nor had I heard of it. And the fact that someone who doesn't share this perfume hobby was able to give me something that I really love wearing just tickles me.
Santa was very generous this year with Bang Portrait of a Lady.

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer


text:
LOS ANGELES – Brett Hundley was 6 when he first declared proudly to his father, Brett Sr., his professional plans.
"Dad, I'm going to play in the NFL," Brett told his father, completely unprompted. The statement caught Brett Sr. off guard.
"Will you watch me play?" the boy asked his father.
Lately, Brett Sr. has been thinking a lot about that day and how time flies. It all seems surreal, he says, that 14 years later, his son, UCLA's third-year sophomore quarterback, would be filing paperwork with the NFL Draft Advisory Board.
"I keep looking back and saying that bonehead knew about this all along," Brett Sr. said jokingly Wednesday.
No one, he insists, knows what's going to happen next. If his son decides to stay at UCLA, the Bruins likely will return as a potential Top 10 team. He could be a leading Heisman candidate. If his son decides to go pro, he could be a first-round pick in May's NFL draft.
A decision won't come until the new year, after UCLA's Sun Bowl trip to El Paso has ended and its quarterback is left to think. Father and son will meet shortly after to put all the pieces together – something they planned over Thanksgiving break. Hundley will also meet with UCLA coach Jim Mora between now and then – a meeting that Brett Sr. says the family will lean on heavily.
Only then will there be an answer to the question everyone's asking: Will Brett Hundley leave for the NFL?
In the history of the NFL draft, only three redshirt sophomore quarterbacks have been chosen in the first round. USC's Todd Marinovich was the first, the 24th selection overall by the Raiders in 1991. UCLA's Tommy Maddox followed suit the next year, going 25th to the Denver Broncos. Michael Vick was the most recent, drafted first overall by the Atlanta Falcons in 2001. Vick is the only one of the three to have a particularly memorable NFL career.
But would another season in college have changed the fortunes of Marinovich and Maddox? In a process dominated by an insatiable urge for potential and the unrelenting fight to find the highest ceiling, it's the question that dominates all underclassmen's decisions.
Hundley is certainly no exception. Physically, he fits the image of a dual-threat NFL quarterback, sturdily built at 6-foot-3, 222 pounds, with a powerful arm. He's also the Bruins' leading rusher this season, mostly thanks to his keen ability to make something out of nothing.
"He's a tremendous physical talent from a size, athleticism, arm strength standpoint," CBS Sports draft analyst Dane Brugler said. "He's going to test off the charts in all three of those areas. ... If he comes out, I do think he'll be a first-round pick. He has the physical talent that you can't teach."
Brugler gives a laundry list of other positives: pocket mobility, smooth footwork, natural instincts, calm demeanor, mature leadership – all signs that Hundley could be a good NFL quarterback.
But … "He can really benefit from another year," Brugler said. "I don't think there's any question about that."
A number of inconsistencies cropped up during Hundley's second season as UCLA's quarterback. At times, like in key losses to Stanford and Oregon, he was almost completely ineffective. He held on to the ball too long and took unnecessary sacks. His anticipation as a passer was often lacking, and scouts worry that he stares down targets and telegraphs throws – flaws that could get him eaten alive by NFL secondaries. Most concerns center on his decision-making and whether he already possesses the mental acumen of an NFL quarterback.

I have a mystery over here.
For some reason, a WordPress site is generating really low quality thumbnails. They look like a JPG with quality 20 or a GIF file with only a couple of colors with some dithering.
I've tested the original images and there's nothing wrong with them since their thumbs on a different WordPress site look good.
It's also no CSS or anything since when i save the generated thumb the low quality is in the image itself.
I've searched the internet and found some threads but none with a clear answer and some which where caused by some weird CSS rule.
What could be the problem here?
If i remember there is filter for quality of thumbnails, check this post here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-jpeg_quality
Start there, maybe somewhere in plugin or theme someone mess with it.
Allready tried that. The site has nog weird plugins or whatever.
Could it be a server/php related thing?

September 12, 2013
Environmental groups are renewing pressure on Governor Cuomo to make good on his commitment to reduce carbon pollution in the state. On Tuesday, advocates released a report on America's Dirtiest Power Plants including the 5 worst in New York State.
Calling it the elephant in the room, researchers behind the report claim power plants are the largest source of global warming pollution. By their estimation they account for 41-percent of the nation's carbon dioxide pollution.
Eric Whalen of Environment New York says CO2 is what's driving global warming. "I think a lot of the focus has been on ways to reduce your own carbon footprint and ways to cut your own carbon pollution but the bottom line is if we really want to solve global warming pollution we need action to cut global warming pollution from the biggest sources, power plants."
The report is based on data from 2011 and 2 upstate power stations figure on the list.
Kintigh Generating Station in Somerset was top, emitting almost 3.8 million mass tons of carbon dioxide. That's not enough to make the nation's Top 100 though, when compared to the more than 21 tons from the Scherer plant in Georgia.
The Dunkirk plant on Lake Erie, also made the state's top 5 list, although half of the plant was mothballed in late 2012 and it's now being considered for conversion to natural gas.
The emissions from the five facilities made up over 20% of the statewide total.
Governor Cuomo is proposing reducing the regional CO2 emission cap from 165 million tons of CO2 down to 91 million tons. It would then decline an additional 2-and-a-half-percent annually through 20-20.
The environmentalists push for a lowered carbon cap comes in line with the Obama Administration's own proposal to limit carbon pollution from new and existing power plants. This will be officially unveiled on September 20th by the EPA.

Hi,I wanted to share with you my newest video beading tutorial that shows how to make a double helix with beads like these earrings.Thank you for letting my show my work. Cheers,:D gwen
My Website ~ My Etsy ~ My Blog
I have just watched the entire tutorial. Wow, what a cool design, quite complexe, too. I have to start collecting size 8 seedbeads so I can make these, they are wonderful. The tutorial is foolproof, and no way you can make these just by looking at the picture.
Thanks a lot for sharing this, Gwen, I can't wait to get started on this.
Wow!! Fabulous! Thank you!! I'm gonna be making earrings tonight so I will give this a try!!
Michelle K.
Follow my As They Grow project.. weekly pictures of my 3 chihuahuas from birth to age 1.
Ingrid, I'm so sorry to give you an excuse to buy more beads. Hehe. I really hope you'll show me what you make.
Thanks for your comments,
squirrelflight, You're very welcome. Don't forget to pick your favorite DNA sequence first. Hehe. I hope you'll show me your finished earrings.
Great tutorial!! Can't wait to give it a try. Also love the explaination of the origin of the pattern!

Buses and taxis
Petrol is extortionate in Eritrea! As such, taxis are very expensive, though readily available at a price. But you can find people to share the cost if taking long journeys... Expect to pay 50 nakfa for a short taxi ride in Asmara. We paid over $100 for a 2-hour taxi ride.
The reason for our occasional taxi extravagance was that buses are difficult. Note, it can be easier to take a bus from other
cities TO Asmara than to get a bus FROM Asmara as the queues are really massive and the bus stops in Asmara quite confusing, with queues of literally hundreds of people.
Government buses are cheaper. Minibuses are slightly more expensive but faster and comfortable. "black market buses" are privately owned buses, which are similar to government buses but a little more expensive. All are far cheaper than a taxi. Though they don't move until they're full. And stop frequently... Have your travel permit paperwork available at all times as the bus will stop at each checkpoint and you'll be asked to show it. Things will go faster if you have a photocopy you can hand over each time, but this isn't necessary (except at Filfil).
Visas and travel permits
As is well documented, the visa you obtain to visit Eritrea only lets you travel to Asmara. You need to visit the Tourist Office on Harnet Avenue and apply for a tourist travel permit for the other places you'd like to visit. This costs 20 Nakfa and we obtained it the same day we applied (go early in the morning). When writing where you'd like to visit, be as extensive as possible (make a list before going in). They scored a few places off our list (Lake Badda and surrounds) due to security issues, but happily approved the others. To get a permit you need a photocopy of your passport and Eritrean visa (ideally bring with you, but there are stationary shops in Asmara where you can get copies). Once you have your travel permit, photocopy it a few times - you are asked to show it at large numbers of checkpoints throughout the country and some, eg. Filfil, demand a copy or they won't let you through (though don't have photocopy facilities themselves). The checkpoints otherwise seem to be just a formality, but make sure you do always have your travel permit to show, as they are diligent at checking.Related to:

- Backpacking
- Road Trip
Excellent transportation service
It seems to be easy to travel around the country by pubblic transportation. Small buses run almost everywhere, from early morning to late afternoon. Probably it takes time to visit the country just by pubblic buses. If you need a car with driver I recommend Gebrehiwet Waldemariam. He is a nice man, good driver, always ready to help, and can provide minibus, 4X4 WD, cars. More over, despite what you can think about African people, he is always on time, even a bit earlier. Unfortunately, travel by car could be expensive for fuel is very expensive in the country.Related to:

Overland to Eritrea
As of 2004, the only land border of Eritrea open for travellers was the one with Djibouti.
There are shared taxis between Assab in Eritrea and Moulhoule in Djibouti, with connections to Obbock.
The Sudanese border was only crossed by locals illegally during my visit, but reopened in late 2006. It remains to be seen how long it will stay open, and you need travel permits to reach the border towns (Kassala in Sudan and Tesseney in Eritrea) from either side.
The heavily militarized Ethiopian border is as tightly sealed as they get.
Railways in Eritrea
The Italians built a good railway network in Eritrea under their rule, but it has fallen into disuse later on.
However, since independence the Eritrean givernment has restored the extremely scenic line between Asmara and Massawa. Unfortunately there are no scheduled services anyway (probably because the buses are faster). Your only hope is tagging along for a ride on services chartered by tour-groups.
By Road around Eritrea
There is an extensive and cheap bus service around much of Eritrea. Fares are incredibly low: around 1 USD for a 3-4 hour long journey! Of course, at these prices you can't expect much in the way of comforts.
Should you need those comforts (or flexiblity), you can either hire a car to drive yourself, or hire a taxi with a driver to take you around.
By Sea to Eritrea
Many travellers are hoping to catch a boat between Massawa & Sudan/Egypt, and Assab & Yemen.
However there are no passenger boats on either of these routes, and even if you found a cargo ship going your way, burocracy might stop you from taking it!
By Air to Eritrea
Eritrea is only served by a few airlines.
Of the neighbouring countries it is connected to Sudan, Djibouti and Yemen (but not Ethiopia!), while in Europe Rome, Milan, Amsterdam, and Frankfurt (and by now perhaps London) have direct flights.
Some of the cheapest flights to Eritrea tend to be on Egypt Air via Cairo.
Getting to Dhalak Islands
I have been to the Dahlak islands for snorkelling and general sightseeing. Even if this was close to 4 years ago, I assume the situation is much the same as Eritrea has gone from one economic-political crisis to the other and not much has happened in tourism development and investment. I guess that my description may still hold water...
It is straight-forward to go Dahlak. You have to obtain/pay a national park fee, not so much. They know all the logistical stuff and routines and contacts at Dahlak Hotel in Massawa.
You need to rent a boat (ensure it has a canopy, otherwise you'll get fried) with a captain/guide. Bring a packaged lunch or make a booking for lunch/overnight at the Luul Hotel at Dahlak Kabir island.Bring water, lots and lots of water to drink. Ensure you have good snorkelling equipment - what we saw in terms of fins, snorkels and masks were quite rudimentary. Better bring your own. Ensure that the captain steers the boat really where you want to go. They prefer to do a very short trip, quick stop and return. Get a map, a plan and make sure that the plan is paid for and understood by the boat owner and would-be-captain. Cost was 250 USD pp for a whole day when I went there - 4 personsand one of us was a local. Should come down when there are more people.
Typically, the boats for hire are roomy, maybe space for 10-12 and diving equipment (or TVs and DVD players from Yemen), twin outboards and with 230 hp they'll hurtle you to the main Dahlak archipelago in about 1 1/2 hrs. You will see leaping dolphins on your way.
Some islands are closed for visitors for military and environment protection reasons. Your permit obtained in Massawa will licence you to land only on some of the islands.Related to:
- Beaches
- Diving and Snorkeling
- Fishing
Overland to Eritrea
You cannot legally cross from Ethiopia into Eritrea because of the war-like but truce situation. It would also be dangerous to try to cross illegally due to land mines, unexploded ordinance and trigger-happy nervous soldiers on both sides.
You can enter from the Sudan from Kassala into Tesenay and on to Barentu.
There are cargo ships calling at Massawa and Assab from Jeddah in Sauda Arabia. There are frequent legal and illegal (smuggling) boats crossing over to Yemen - the same boats that "go fishing" or take tourists to the Dahlak islands. No schedules, though...
I have not heard anything about the Eritrean-Djibouti border being closed. I certainly know that Afar traders cross into Djibouti from near Assab, and that there are rutted tracks crossing over. Stay on the road/tracks as this area saw much fighting - artillery duels and pitched battles/land mining during the recent war. From Djibouti you can take the road or railway into Ethiopia. Both in case of Djibouti, Yemen and Ethiopia ensure you have visas issued in your home country before starting off. May not be so easy to obtain en route.Related to:

Flying to Asmara, often fully booked
Getting to Eritrea can sometimes be difficult, because there are not that many flights and flights are often fully booked long time ahead. The Eritrean diaspora has led to many Eritreans traveling. Especially true during Christian and Muslim holiday times.
Another factor seems to be the sectorized travel: Lufthansa certainly at the time I was flying (Frankfurt-Jeddah-Asmara-Kairo-Frankfurt) could get me a seat to Jeddah, but not from Jeddah onwards to Asmara. Eventually, somebody dropped off the flight and my waitlisting paid off. They apparently couldn't tell of availability before the very last minute. I eventually travelled on a full flight to Jeddah(!), but ony a 1/3 full flight onwards to Asmara. The seat planning is perhaps low-tech and quota-based in and out of Asmara?
The advice is simple: BOOK EARLY!!!
At the time of this...
At the time of this submission, only air travel will get you into Eritrea to the Asmara Airport. Ensure that you get an Entry Visa before you fly to Eritrea. If not, you might end up back on the aircraft you just got off of!!!!
In Asmara there are rental car agencies, and taxis are abundant. In Massawa, there are boats available to take people to the island of Dahlak.
the Lufthansa flight to Asmara...
the Lufthansa flight to Asmara is ok.
there is a stop in Jeddah, but the daytime trip is very comfortable.
The return flight is harder...beacause of the same stop int he nightime!

Situation continues to remain tense in tribal-dominated district
BHUBANESWAR: Orissa Steel and Mines Minister Padmanabha Behera, who hails from the violence-hit Kandhamal district, resigned from his post, even as the situation continued to remain tense in the tribal-dominated district for the fifth day on Friday.
Mr. Behera, a former member of the Lok Sabha and prominent Biju Janata Dal leader from the region, said he submitted his resignation to Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik owning moral responsibility for the incidents of communal violence in Kandhamal since December 24.
In a major damage control exercise, the State government has ordered a judicial inquiry into the violence in Kandhamal. Retired High Court judge Basudev Panigrahi will conduct the inquiry.
The government also appointed a new district Collector for Kandhamal with immediate effect. Manish Kumar Verma, Collector of Malkangiri, will replace Kandhamal Collector Bhabagrahi Mohapatra, who was asked to join the General Administration Department for further posting. Additional District Magistrate of Rourkela Nitin Bhanudas Jawle was appointed Malkangiri Collector.
Tribals' demand
The dropping of Mr. Behera from the Cabinet was one of the demands put forth by the agitating Kui tribals of Kandhamal, who had been opposing the alleged granting of Scheduled Caste status to Dalits in the region. Mr. Behera is a Dalit.
The Kui tribals were also demanding appointment of a direct IAS officer as Kandhamal Collector instead of an official who was promoted as IAS.
The All-India Christian Council and Church leaders in the State criticised the government decision for a judicial inquiry into the violence in Kandhamal.
At a press conference here, the Council general secretary, John Dayal, demanded that a Central Bureau of Investigation probe be ordered into the attacks on the Christians.
"The judicial inquiry will not lead to giving justice to the victims," said Raphael Cheenath, Archbishop of Bhubaneswar-Cuttack.
As many as eight persons were killed and 55 churches attacked in Kandhamal till Friday afternoon as hundreds of members of the community were hiding in forest to save their life from the attackers, they said.
The victims included those who were killed in police firing, Mr. Dayal said.
Curfew continues
In Kandhamal, curfew continued to remain in force in four towns as more paramilitary forces were being deployed to prevent violence from spreading to newer areas.
In Bhubaneswar, women's organisations took out a rally appealing for restoration of peace in the strife-torn region.
They submitted a memorandum to Governor M.C. Bhandare seeking his intervention for immediate deployment of the Central forces in Kandhamal.

SOUTHERN PINES — Seth Caddell had three runs batted in, including a two-run home run, to help Pinecrest hand Richmond its first regular season Southeastern Conference loss in nearly two years.
Pinecrest pulled out a 5-4 victory over Richmond Tuesday night behind Caddell and the pitching performance of Hunter Phillips. The Patriots improved to 9-3 overall and 2-2 in the SEC. The Raiders fall to 7-3-1 on the season and 3-1 in conference play.
Phillips pitched into the sixth before being lifted for Culley Bayless with two outs. Bayless earned the save.
Cody Leviner was saddled with his first varsity loss for the Raiders.
Pinecrest jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first. After Richmond scratched out a run in the second on Cody Mullen's run-scoring double, Caddell helped Pinecrest pad its lead in the third with his home run and Carson Maples added a solo shot of his own.
The Raiders trimmed the deficit to 5-3 when James Buie and Mike Rush recorded run-scoring singles in the top of the sixth. Richmond was able to push across a single run in the seventh on a single by Taylor McLean, but was unable to get the equalizer.
Richmond coach Ricky Young added another game to the schedule to replace the rained out West Johnston contest. Richmond will face Southern Lee 7 p.m. Thursday at Raider Field.
Pinecrest edges Richmond, again
ROCKINGHAM — With a chance to pull even with Pinecrest in the race for the Southeastern Conference boys tennis title, Richmond Senior did all it could to win.
For the second straight time against the perennial tennis power, Richmond came up just short as Pinecrest posted a 5-4 victory Tuesday afternoon.
The Raiders pulled out victories in two singles matches, Colt Auman at No. 1 and Brandon Ingram at No. 3. Auman downed Don Campbell 6-0, 6-0 and Ingram outlasted Josh Barnes 5-7, 6-0, 10-6. Both Ingram and Auman are still undefeated in singles play this season.
Richmond won the top two doubles contests to pull even in the match, but Pinecrest clinched the overall victory in the third doubles.
The loss drops Richmond to 10-2 overall and 7-2 in the SEC. It will close out the regular season 4 p.m. Thursday at home against Scotland.
Raiders finish second in golf
LAURINBURG — Richmond Senior paced by Matt Howard and Jordan McDonald placed second in the Southeastern Conference golf match Monday afternoon at Scotch Meadows Country Club.
Pinecrest was first with a team score of 304, Richmond had a total of 331 and Scotland was third at 340. Purnell Swett took fourth at 359 and Lumberton finished fifth with a score of 378. Hoke had three golfers at the event and was unable to post a team score.
Individually, Pinecrest's Josh Martin fired a 70 to win medalist honors for the third consecutive event.
Howard and McDonald both carded an 81. Brandon Morse had an 82, Jordan Buie, Drew Norton and Logan Paris all shot an 84.
The teams will return to the course 2 p.m. today at Pinecrest No. 5 in a make-up event

In any event, Kerry's don't-call-it-an-endorsement would alone have been quite the coup in a Democratic primary, but the fact that the DSCC is also getting on board means they're hoping to avoided a protracted nomination battle and would like to see everyone rally around Markey. And indeed, sandwiched between the initial Kerry email and the subsequent DSCC missive, Vicki Kennedy, the widow of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy who herself was mentioned as a possible candidate, said that she, too, would be getting behind Markey. You can practically hear the wagons rustling as they draw into circular formation.
But this all seems like good news to me: The DS must have positive polling data on Markey, a strong progressive, and it also means we're less likely to see someone awful like Rep. Stephen Lynch (who betrayed Democrats by voting against the Affordable Care Act) enter the race. Of course, if these moves are seen as "interference" by D.C. Democrats, it could provoke a backlash. But we went through something very much like this not long ago, when national Dems and progressive groups successfully propelled Elizabeth Warren's candidacy forward, despite opposition from the local establishment (who had nothing and no one better to offer).
And with a little luck, Scott Brown won't bother to run again. Hopefully these coordinated efforts are meant to give the appearance of strength and scare Brown off, rather than a reflection of any kind of worry that if Democrats don't unite immediatelyrightnow, we'd be in some sort of trouble. I'm choosing to be cautiously optimistic for the moment, and with a little more luck, Markey will succeed both in uniting all the various factions behind him and in running a strong campaign.
P.S. If Kerry is indeed confirmed as Secretary of State, and if Markey does secure the Democratic nomination and wins the ensuing special election, there would be another special election for his 5th District congressional seat. Interest and speculation in that race will also be high, no doubt, and as always, we'll be following both the Senate and House side of things closely.
1:20 PM PT: P.P.S. No surprise: Dem Rep. Nikki Tsongas also says she won't run.

Noting that countries like India, China and Germany were emphasising more in maths and science and fast catching up with America, US President Barack Obama day told lawmakers that he would not accept a "second place" for his country.
"Washington has been telling us to wait for decades, even as the problems have grown worse. Meanwhile, China's not waiting to revamp its economy. Germany's not waiting. India's not waiting," Mr. Obama said in his State of the Union address.
"These nations aren't standing still. These nations aren't playing for second place. They're putting more emphasis on maths and science. They're rebuilding their infrastructure.
They are making serious investments in clean energy because they want those jobs," Mr. Obama said.
"Well I do not accept second-place for the United States of America. As hard as it may be, as uncomfortable and contentious as the debates may be, it's time to get serious about fixing the problems that are hampering our growth," said the US President in his joint address to the Congress.

A second teen has been arrested after allegedly writing a bomb threat on the wall of one of the restrooms at Upson-Lee High School. Upson County Sheriff Dan Kilgore said a 15-year-old male student at Upson-Lee was arrested last Thursday after allegedly writing the threat on the wall last Wednesday. He has been charged with making Terroristic Threats and will be tried in Juvenile Court.
Earlier this month, 15-year-old female students at ULHS was arrested and charged with making terroristic threats for allegedly writing bomb threats on the walls in the girls' restroom.
There were a total of four bomb threats to the high school within six days in March. On March 19, 20 and 21, there were three bomb threats. One was called into the Sheriff's Office, and two others were found written on the restroom walls. A fourth bomb threat was called into the 9-1-1 Center on March 24.
Two more bomb threats were received on May 1 and May 2. Both were called into the 9-1-1 Center. The latest bomb threat, believed written by the male student in custody, occurred on May 14.
Sheriff Kilgore said he does not believe there is a connection between the male and female students arrested in regards to the bomb threats. He has asked the Georgia Bureau of Investigations (GBI) to assist in the investigation of those terroristic calls. Upson-Lee High School continues to offer a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons making terroristic threats against Upson-Lee High School. Sheriff Kilgore urges anyone who may have any information to call the Sheriff's Office at 706-647-7411.

Organizing Your Closet in Under 30 Minutes
And Other Helpful Tips
By Amy Allen Clark
As a frugal mom, I am always looking for ways to organize and simplify our life while staying on a budget. As I am sure many of us have vowed to become more organized this year, I look for projects that can give you great satisfaction in a small amount of time and with a limited budget.
One project that can easily be completed in no time and with little cost is organizing your closets. In fact, I believe this project can be done in thirty minutes with just a few easy steps! If you are limited on closet space, like me, or you simply like to organize your clothes by season, I have a few easy tips to help keep your closets organized and fresh!
Pull Your Clothes Out of the Closet
To begin organizing your closet, you really need to know what's in it. Begin pulling all of the clothing out of the closet and eliminate any items that have not been worn in the last six months, clothing that no longer fits, clothing that is no longer in season or clothes that are no longer in style.
Organize Clothing by Color
Next, put your items back into the closet and organize it by color and then by type. For example, put all of the black clothing together and then organize it by style of shirt (knit, blazer, sweater, cardigan, etc.) This great advice was offered to me by my closest fashion confidant and Michiana Family Magazine Fashion Editor, Kathy Friend. Sorting these items by color makes it easier to find what you need quickly and allows you to discover what areas in the color scheme need a boost as well as what areas need some scaling back.
Repeat these steps above for your children's closets, and I am sure you will notice a true difference how easy it is for everyone to get ready in the morning!
Store Your Out-of-Season Clothing
Storage depends truly on the size of your home and the space you can use to tuck away your out-of-season items. In our house, Rubbermaid totes are our clothing storage option, and I keep my personal (freshly washed) out-of-season items in the basement, while the kids have two bins going all of the time in each of their closets.
With my children, one bin of clothing that has clothes they are outgrowing is stored throughout the year and can be added to as items are outgrown. I have been lucky enough to have a "bin exchange" program with my best friend, and we trade bins of clothing with each other for our children. When a bin is filled, I pass it on to her in exchange for a bin of her clothing. With this exchange system, I can count on one hand the amount of items I have had to buy my daughter this year. It is great if you can work something like this out with a friend, and by keeping a bin on hand, it helps to keep your closets tidy and organized.
The other bin of clothing contains items they will soon be growing into, sometime in that next year. This bin helps serve as a reminder on how much or how little I really need to buy for the upcoming year or season. If you do a lot of thrift shopping, consignment shopping or hit the garage sales for your children's clothing, an itemized list of clothes you have on hand and their sizing can help reduce the amount of duplicate purchases.
Implement a Free-For-All Drawer for Kids
With small children, maintaining organization in your house, let alone your closet, is practically impossible. I have learned over the years to choose our battles, but I never knew what battles were until I met my strong-willed and wildly independent little girl.
It's because of her that I have developed the, "Free-For-All," drawer. This nightstand is my daughter's drawer that she can organize and do exactly what she pleases with it. Each day, we were battling about what she could or could not wear for school. Now we have compromised, and this drawer is filled with all of her favorite nightgowns and pajamas. At the end of the day, she can do whatever she wants and wear whatever she wants from this drawer, provided we are spending the day at home!
Make sure that if you have a drawer for your children that it is the lowest one or a safe one to access. When my daughter began climbing on a chair to grab her favorite nightgowns and toppled the drawers on herself, we knew that she needed a drawer she could access that held a few of her favorite.
Donate Often
Make donating to your local thrift store or shelter a part of your weekly routine, and just imagine how much space you can reclaim in your closet and home. I like to keep a bag or bin going all week long and add as I see items we no longer need or have outgrown that can be passed on to someone else. It is amazing how these little things really add up over the course of the week and how much simpler my life has become thanks to ridding myself of clutter. Make it a part of your routine just like paying the bills and caring for your home each week, and you will begin to see the power you have in transforming those cluttered corners and closets.
I hope these tips offer you a little motivation this year to get your closets organized! Each time I organize my closet, I find a new favorite shirt, and it serves to remind me how little I really do need to shop!

BOISE -- A Boise husband and father who volunteered much of his life to making Bogus Basin better is now being remembered.
As we've reported, Cesar Quijano died in a car crash on Bogus Basin Road Saturday morning.
Now, for the first time, we're hearing more about him from his family.
They tell KTVB Bogus Basin was the place where Quijano learned to ski, and the place his children and grandchildren learned to ski.
His family says he thought of it as a family place that he wanted to improve.
Quijano drove Bogus Basin Road for decades, and it was there, on the way to a place he called home, that he lost his life.
Quijano's daughter Carma Burnett says her 80-year-old father dedicated much of his time to Bogus Basin.
It's certainly not what you would expect, that road and that experience going up to Bogus has always been a really happy one, said Burnett.
His time included 44 years as a volunteer on the ski patrol, and he also helped with races and the ski club.
He was a person I thought who touched a lot of people, and genuinely cared about people, said Burnett.
Others on the ski patrol, like Kevin Hudson, say Quijano's contributions were endless.
Just a true friend and mentor, and teacher and example to a lot of people, huge resource for the patrol and skiing public, said Hudson.
As an architect, Quijano also had a hand in designing many of the buildings at Bogus over the years.
When they were talking about it, he kind of got in on the ground floor, said Burnett. It made him happy to do it.
His family says he was an amazing man who willingly sacrificed much of his life to help make Bogus a better place for families.
He had a very good zest for life and people meant so much to him. He was truly one of a kind and unique and very genuine, said Burnett.
The cause of the crash that killed Quijano is still under investigation.
His family tells KTVB the accident happened in an area that was shaded and could have been icy.
He leaves behind three children and three grandchildren.
Quijano's funeral will be held Thursday at 4 p.m. at St. John's Cathedral.

Dario Franchitti begins writing the next chapter of his career at Indianapolis (video)
May 8, 2014, 9:34 PM EDT
TV interviews can oftentimes be a dime-a-dozen, but we really were captivated by Indianapolis station WRTV's interview of four-time IndyCar champ and three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Dario Franchitti on Thursday.
Having suffered near-fatal injuries in a crash last October at Houston that prompted his immediate retirement from open-wheel racing, Franchitti will be missing from the starting grid at Indy for only the second time in more than a decade.
But WRTV does an excellent job of telling not only the back story of Franchitti's career, as well as the next chapter as a coach and consultant to Target Chip Ganassi Racing, particularly for his hand-picked replacement to succeed him in the No. 10 car, defending Indy 500 winner Tony Kanaan.
One of the best lines in the interview is when Franchitti tries to put into context the fact that he's at Indianapolis for the first time since 2002 (with the exception of his brief foray into NASCAR in 2008) as an observer rather than a driver.
"Fun? Yes. Bizarre? In some ways, yes. Bittersweet? Absolutely," said Franchitti, who turns 41 on May 19.
Another intriguing part of the interview was the viciousness of his crash at Houston. The WRTV report included both professional and amateur footage of the horrendous wreck that left Franchitti with two broken vertebrae, a broken right ankle and the third major concussion of his career.
As a result, his doctors told him almost immediately that while he'd walk again, he'd never race again, the toughest pill for Franchitti to swallow as he recuperated in the hospital.
Even more so, what is particularly frightening about the Houston crash is the amnesia that Franchitti suffered.
"I didn't know that because I don't remember anything," Franchitti told WRTV's Dave Furst. "I lost five weeks, I think two weeks before and three weeks after, nothing. It's not going to come back. I went to my buddy Albert's wedding in Portland (a few weeks before Houston) and that's the last thing I remember."
Click here to check out the Franchitti video. Great job and great storytelling by Furst and the WRTV crew.

Broken bones ain't good and they can kill you but concussions are really serious and can have life long effects. After three major concussions you pretty much don't have a choice but to retire. It certainly is a very bitter pill for any racer. Best of luck with the new career, Dario.
