Very feminine as a floral but shares some of the original Le Male identity.
There is a slight error in the listed name as it says it is the "Fleur Du Male Cologne" (which is another totally different product) than the one you are purchasing (which is the "Fleur Du Male Eau De Toilette"). And image of the Cologne variant is listed below.
The opening is powdery and very floral but soon dries down to a strong camomile note which is nice for the spring weather but it's not for everyone as some men might not enjoy smelling that strongly of flowers. The scent on your skin at the end of this fragrances' life is similar to the original Le Male and that's there the similarities begin and end. My favourite spring time floral is without a doubt Fahrenheit 32 by Dior but this is far more affordable and easier to find out of the two.
Great for someone who loves florals and wants something unique - but not for females as it is too "dirty" for a female user. A decent blind buy for someone who knows they love chamomile or floral notes in general but if you aren't one of those guys don't waste you time here this one isn't for you. Don't buy this expecting it to smell a lot like Le Male but if you're like me and you really enjoy Le Male but don't want to wear what everyone else is wearing, give this one a try and you might be pleasantly surprised.

Comments about Jean Paul Gaultier Fleur Du Male Cologne:
This is lovely. What a wonderful combination of masculine and feminine. I was so afraid that I wasn't going to like this. I was expecting something heavy and smothering. When I sprayed it on, what I picked up right away was a bitter "green" blast with something powdery. The initial blast settles down fast and slips into something that is somewhat of a contradiction in terms - bold yet soft. The star of the show here really is the orange blossom and it's done so well, mixing with the other notes flawlessly. I am not a huge fan of the original, over-exposed, Le Male. Something about it irritates me and turns my stomach. You can smell a little of the original in here at its base but it's understated and kept at bay when mixed with the other notes. Not every man will like this. In fact, I don't think the average man will. You have to be in touch with your feminine side and be comfortable in your own skin to pull it off. I only needed one spray and that sufficed nicely. I believe that this scent is best suited for the cooler weather. I can't see wearing this in hot weather. I think the heat might make it a little aggressive and obnoxious. Different and unique as far as men's cologne goes. A modern throwback! Head and shoulders above the original. A classic in its own right. Highly recommended for the self-assured, confident man!

THE future David Pocock, Stephen Moore or Nic White may have been running around Rotary Oval in Cooma earlier this week when the Brumbies held their rugby school holiday clinics.
Youngsters from Cooma and Jindabyne rugby clubs attended the day on Tuesday, July 8, where participants received elite rugby coaching from the Brumbies development staff.
Tom Beinke, the Brumbies Rugby Development Office for the Monaro and South Coast, guided the participants through a number of skill activities.
"We help kids from six years old to 13 years, the idea is to improve their core skills," Mr Beinke said.
"They take part in activities such as catch and passing, and decision making exercises."
As the Brumbies look to cement a finals berth in the Super Rugby competition this weekend, Beinke has seen strong numbers in the holiday clinics across the region.
"Cooma always attracts strong numbers at the clinics, we also visit Yass, Goulburn and Batemans Bay."
The budding stars kicked, passed and tackled their way from 9am till 3pm, the smiling faces an indication they were enjoying the clinic
For their efforts the children received a Brumbies pack which included a Wallabies rugby ball, a drink bottle, cap and Brumbies poster..
Beinke coached junior Brumbies teams before his role as development officer and says it is important to continue pushing rugby within regional areas.
"We also have development programs with junior clubs and schools, such as gala days, to get the kids involved in rugby."

text: Code.org's grand plan: 'we want to get the whole nation coding for an hour' Politics 06 February 14 by Katie Collins To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the World Wide Web code.org is organising the UK Hour of Code, an initiative to get everyone -- but particularly British schoolchildren -- to spend an hour learning to code during the week starting 3 March.The UK Hour of Code has been organised off the back of an identical event held during Computer Science Week in the US. At that time the code.org organisers estimated ten million students throughout the country would take part, and ended up with 16 to 17 million participants. The UK wing of code.org is run by Avid Larizadeh who is one of the cofounders of online accessories business Boticca. Larizadeh, a Stanford graduate who majored in telecommunications engineering before working at Ebay and Skype, saw the success of the US project (which was run by her cousins) and decided to try and replicate its success in the UK, where she lives."I got very excited about it," Larizadeh tells Wired.co.uk. "It's because I know how to code that partly got me where I am today, and I can do this job in fashion, funnily enough, because everything's going online and I have the understanding.""The goal is not to have a nation of just coders. Everything we do today is touched by technology and coding... We need now to know the basics of coding so that we understand how things are being made, how things function -- the web that we use everyday, the discussions that are happening around it."Without an understanding of the underlying architecture of it, the nation is bound to fail in terms of its workforce, its growth and the innovation that comes with it," she says.Aside from the central goal of trying to get everyone to spend an hour coding, the challenges for code.org in the UK and US are very different, explains Larizadeh. In the US, the initiative is very much intended to encourage curriculum reform, whereas in the UK, that has already happened and we're now at the stage of waiting for it to come into effect. Changing the curriculum in the US isn't a matter of top-down decision making, but a state-by-state process and so code.org is very much laying the ground work to encourage reform. In the UK, however, Larizadeh sees the Hour of Code as spreading awareness and dispelling myths about coding in order to ease the upcoming transition for parents, students and teachers."It's been mandated that coding is going to be taught in the curriculum in September. The problem I have seen is -- and there's still a lot of debate around this -- that a lot of teachers are still unaware that the curriculum has changed, parents are unaware of it, and if they are aware, teachers are not prepared and so they get scared, which is normal. It's something they haven't done and they have to teach it," says Larizadeh. Getting teachers on board will play an integral part in the UK Hour of Code campaign, not only because the success of code.org in the US has been a direct result of work the organisation has done with schools, but also to help equip teachers with the confidence they'll need to encourage students in the classroom. "Yes, there's training that needs to be involved, but again there's a lot of support behind it and a lot of tools that you have today make it easier pedagogically to teach it," says Larizadeh."It's not just an hour of code. You'll see there are resources that we're gathering. There's so much being done -- resources for teachers, for parents, for adults, for students -- so that will stay there and will continue to be a resource and we'll continue working with the various organisations to help with that. It takes time to build this kind of awareness." code.org/Screenshot These organisations and others, says Larizadeh, do a brilliant job already of providing educational resources she says. Code.org is hoping the Hour of Code will publicise the work more widely and communicate to students and teachers the variety of opportunities and resources open to them. "What we want to do is enable them as well, partner with them, help spread their resources and get that awareness growing."Also vital to code.org's success in the US has been the ease of use of the website and coding tutorials and the involvement of celebrity backers like Will.i.am, Ashton Kutcher and Shakira, says Larizadeh.So what can we expect for the UK Hour of Code week in the UK? As well as involvement from the likes of Lily Cole, Tim Berners-Lee, the BBC, Google and Microsoft, there will be a series of events and a few surprises too. Many high profile individuals and organisations within education will also be lending their time to the campaign, Chairman of Tech City UK Joanna Shields, Sherry Coutu of Founders4Schools, the team at e-skills, John Myers and Elizabeth Truss from the DfE, Harper Collins and Kathryn Parsons of Decoded.There are approximately eight million schoolchildren in the UK, of which Larizadeh believes at least one million will participate, although it will be open to everyone. If you don't manage to squeeze in your own coding hour that particular week, then worry not -- code.org has a grand vision that extends far past 9 March."The week we've created that we want people to do is really [about creating] this momentum for schools, to allow them to do that, to make that an event, and get people talking about it during that week and get people feeling that there is a movement and to have fun with it, but there's no reason that you can't go and do it today if you want to. "The big audacious goal is that we want to get the whole nation to just try it for an hour -- leave it if you don't like it, but give yourself the opportunity of just trying it," she says.

Arapahoe County District Judge William B. Sylvester issued his order Tuesday. Prosecutors argued Thursday that they needed the print from 24-year-old James Holmes to compare with a print found on the inside of a theater exit door, as well as a DNA sample for comparing with other evidence collected by investigators.
Holmes is charged with 152 counts in the July shooting that killed 12 people and wounded 58 others.
On Friday, Sylvester denied Holmes' attorneys' request for sanctions against prosecutors for "reckless disregard for the truth" for statements about threats and being banned from a university campus.

|Quad City Area "99% Voters," Activists to Rally for Jobs, Not Cuts
|News Releases - Education & Schools
|Written by Veronica Resa
|Monday, 12 November 2012 09:13
[Moline, Ill] – This Election Day, "99% voters" here played a key role in persuading other Americans to reject the "You're On Your Own" Republican philosophy that guts vitals services and provides tax breaks to the wealthy -- and to instead vote to rebuild the middle class, invest in good jobs and protect vital services like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
In an effort to reach across the table, voters and activists from Action Now Illinois will join together to call on Rep. Bobby Schilling to make the right choices for American families and the economy when he returns to Washington for the Lame Duck session of Congress. They will visit him at his congressional office on Thursday, November 8, 2012.
"What is clear after the election is that constituents have clearly rejected the trickle-down economics theory and the deep budget cuts to pay for tax cuts for the rich," says Cynthia Rivers, a resident of IL 13. "The best way to reduce the deficit is to put people back to work and we hope that Bobby Schilling will now represent us –the 99% when he returns to Washington."
Congress faces serious choices before the end of the year. Will it make disastrous cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, childcare, special education and other vital public services that our communities rely on or will it take an approach that puts job creation first?
At the rally, the 99 percent voters and Action Now activists will carry a large poster calling on Rep. Bobby Schilling to commit to the principle that jobs should come before cuts – the poster will bear a Lame Duck Pledge they want Schilling to sign.
WHO: Quad City area "99% Voters" and activists from Action Now Illinois
WHAT: Rally to Call on Rep. Bobby Schilling to Reflect Will of Voters, Support "Jobs, Not Cuts" in Lame Duck Congress
WHEN: 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, November 8, 2012
WHERE: Congressman Schilling's Office, 3000 41st Street, Moline, Illinois
VISUALS: A Lame Duck Pledge that 99% Voters want Rep. Schilling to sign

PUEBLO, Colo. Pueblo County Sheriff's Office purchased a $350,000 fire truck for the Boone Volunteer Fire Department. Keys to the truck were given to the fire department in a ceremony Friday.
The town of Boone has a population of around 350. The town sits inside the emergency planning zones of "Chemical Stockpile Preparedness Program (CSEPP)." In the event of a chemical emergency at the U.S. Army Pueblo Chemical Depot, the Boone Volunteer Fire Department is in charge of protecting its citizens there.
The truck has the ability to decontaminate people who've been exposed to a potential hazard. This is second fire truck that the Boone Volunteer Fire Department owns.
Sheriff Kirk Taylor of the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office said, "The number one objective of the CSEPP program, which falls under the Pueblo County Sheriff's Office, is to protect of the citizens around the U.S. Army Depot. This truck is an illustration of that commitment."
The truck will not only be used for the town of Boone, but also other parts of Pueblo County.

Netgear has a new model out: PTV3000, and it's the size of a deck of cards and is $60 new (got mine at Best Buy).
Works great for me. Uses WIDI for PC to connect to TV. Works for MAC too, I just don't know what the term is used to send the signal.
Dell sold me one of these with my laptop (for $50), it quit working after 3 months. Push2TV said it wasn't compatible with my laptop (though it did work fine for awhile) and refused to refund my money, and Dell said, 'too bad, so sad' it's past our 90 day return policy. In either case, it only lasted three months. Don't waste your money!

The film was nominated for four Academy Awards, including best actress�which Sarandon won for her portrayal of Prejean.
Her second book, The Death of Innocents: An Eyewitness Account of Wrongful Executions, tells the story of two men who were put to death. Prejean believes both of them were innocent.
Prejean�s experiences, which include witnessing five executions, have led her to become a strong opponent of the death penalty. She has served on the board of the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty and has made numerous media appearances to advocate the cause.
Her talk is presented by Brockport�s chapter of The American Democracy Project and is presented with the Department of Theatre�s production of Coyote on a Fence, and the Tower Fine Arts Gallery�s photography exhibition of Lucinda Devlin�s �Omega Suites.�

I would like to see some custom aliasing settings as well, but I don't expect to see them come to Photoshop. I think Adobe will be keeping their product features more and more in line with their specific purpose. This is in light of the fact that now Adobe has a vast array of creative tools and they're really putting emphasis on facilitating work flow.
I think if an Adobe evangelist were asked, they'd say InDesign is what should be used for making comps. I've also heard some people recommend Fireworks.
For now, I'll stick with using Photoshop for my design phase and will probably just continue anti-aliasing only larger text in design comps.
If you want to turn off anti-aliasing in a mockup, why not use Fireworks? It does that well.
I used to only design my mockups using No Anti-Alis option in Fireworks (yeah, that's my tool of choice), but a couple of months ago I started using only Custom Anti-Alias, with settings that make the text look very similar to the way it looks in the browser.
But to be honest, I never had any complaints regarding the look and feel of the mockup vs. the live version. And I hope I never will, cause then it means my client is really obsessed with details, dictating colors and corner roundness (you know the kind). And since I'm a details freak myself, we might not get along very well.
Turning off anti-aliasing on type isn't a problem, its getting accurate results that are.
As of right now my workflow sounds pretty much the same as Joshua, however what I am ultimately worried about is the future. When you think about concepts, clients are supposed to notice details in the concepts before production. We hold clients to this, however if it really isn't a completely accurate representation then how can we? I guess no static representation is exactly perfect, due to browser differences and dynamic content, but type just seems like a major issue to me…
Photoshop is not for type. If you really want good design, typography should be a major part of your work. You can't just type it in Photoshop and hope it looks good. Photoshop was designed for photos, use illustrator and indesign for other things then combine all the elements at the end. Your results will be much better.
Although there are still many things you can't do with vector, I still feel use vector when you can!
I don´t use aliased type because the text gets all blured, and is crap. I prefer to have legible text in an image preview anti-aliased, and then be a little different in a browser.
We use anti-aliased for fonts 21pt and above in mockups. We never get any complaints from the client in this regard. Depending upon the computer that the client is reviewing it on, we have found that 9 times out of 10 the safest bet is to use the aliased, clearer form of the font when representing content in a mockup unless it is a header that is over 21pts in size.
@Max: Isn't 17px where aliased fonts begin to smooth?
I generally mock everything up with the most common platforms in mind (Win XP/IE6), and this means aliased type for body text. 1 in every 20 mockups, the client will ask about it, I'll give a prepared explanation about browser differences and system fonts, and they're fine with it.
Back in 2000-2005 this was a sticky problem, but I feel like clients are starting to get that buildouts won't always mirror the mockups. Maybe my clients aren't the sticklers I thought they were!
I just wish that that browsers on windows offer better in-built anti-aliasing like the mac counterparts. It will make a lot of difference visually and we wouldn't be discussing this issue.
I used to mockup with aliased text, and switched to anti-aliased when IE7 grew in terms of popularity. Realised the eventual site doesn't look great in firefox/win which is growing in market-share. Italics and serifs render horribly on firefox/windows.
I might consider showing both options and explain the difference instead. It is not fair to the website if I show it with aliased text and it looks much better on the mac. And I really wouldn't know if my client is one of those who uses the mac and might have a problem understanding aliased text. ;p
I run into client with similar problem sometimes. Irony is if I put small fonts and anti-aliased version is very illegible I am stuck between adding crooked smootheness or pixelated fonts.
Just make a basic html page with a div containing the text you want to use in your comp.
Size the div to match the comp and style the text to your liking.
Use a screen shot of that in your comp. Won't take long and you can re-use the css you wrote on the actual site.
InDesign is pretty useless for comps as it doesn't have pixel units.
Adobe has a software developed specifically for websitedesign and mockup: Fireworks.
It supports custom antialias.
So you can make three different versions of your designs - one that the text looks as a Mac, one for windows cleartype and another one with aliased text.
That's simple. I really dont understand why people prefer photoshop for website design. Fireworks is just faster and intuitive to work with.
If you need that extra retouch on your photos just click a button and optimize your image in photoshop then come back to fireworks to work on the design.
But I really think that the perfect app for webdesign was not made yet.
Someday I want to see a Fireworks-photoshop-indesign mashup only with the best features of each app and with the ability to generate the xhtml/css markup inside the app with integrated code and css editors for tweaking the markup and adding those ie hacks.
The problem of a software like this is that it would kill photoshop, fireworks and dreamweaver at the same time and I think adobe just prefer to sell 3 apps instead of just one.
That's wat I think.
What Custom Anti-Alias settings do you recommend to replicate IE7 on XP?

Very belated considering that I'm already 5 months pregnant, but I've decided to go off of Celexa which I have taken for a long time for depression. At the time when I started taking them for a few years I admit I really needed it, but I've been doing really well for a while now and my circumstances have definately changed. I'm quite content with life and if I don't need it (it's not life or death) then I don't want to take a class C drug with a baby in my belly. I started tapering down last week and haven't had any since Thursday night. The physical consequences have been very challenging and I feel like I can't do it. My husband is trying to be supportive and encouraging, and he wants me to wait it out longer since emotionally I'm doing well-just not physically.
I want very badly to be off it. But withdrawal is causing me to have a SEVERE case of RLS. In my case it's more like leg and hip muscle jerking. I've had hardly any sleep over the past few days and it's so bad they come every 20-30 sec and can be kind of painful. I even get them while I'm sitting at work. It's also giving me headaches and nausea. This feels like hell! I know it's the best thing for me and the baby...but I can't take another night like last night. I cried for a half an hour at 3am while my hubby rubbed my legs. I'm also dealing with some anxiety from withdrawal and that's been hard too.
Any advice or words of wisdom would be really appreciated here. If I could make it through I know that in a few weeks I would be really proud of myself. I have to get off of it sooner or later, no point in taking a medication that I don't need to be on anymore. But withdrawal is a real bitch!

Fire nets man jail time
The Binghamton, N.Y., area man who intentionally set a fire that damaged the Liberty Twp. work site of his former employer and friend in August 2010 will serve 18 months to seven years in state prison for the crime.
Charles Beard Easton, 56, of Binghamton,N.Y., was sentenced Thursday in Susquehanna County Court on one felony criminal mischief count.
Eastonintentionally caused a fire at a James Willsley Construction site Aug. 9, 2010. Willsey, who is now deceased, helped Easton following his release from prison on robbery charges the year before the fire.
Initially, Easton had been charged with arson. But in a plea agreement, admitted to the felony criminal mischief count.
Willsley's daughter took the stand at the hearing. "You set out to destroy a house; you almost destroyed my father," she said to Easton.
She told the court her father considered Easton a friend and thought he deserved a second chance.
She also said the loss in the fire also hurt her father's business. "We did not profit from the job at all," she told the court.
District Attorney Jason Legg reminded the court Easton had been released from prison only one year prior to the incident. "That speaks to his inability to be rehabilitated," Legg said as he asked the judge to level the maximum seven year sentence.
Prior to issuing the sentence, President Judge Kenneth Seamans said, "This was an intentional fire. (Willsley) tried to help you out; tried to assist you. You helped destroy him in some fashion."
Easton was also ordered to pay over $18,500 in restitution for the losses Willsley's business sustained from the fire.
Others sentenced July 19 in the Susquehanna County Court of Common Pleas were:
Lisa Kimberly Sydlosky, 39, ofHarpursville,N.Y.to 6 months probation for Driving Under the Influence in Montrose on Feb. 4. She also received a $200 fine for Reckless Driving in Montrose on Feb. 4; and 12 months probation to run consecutive for Disorderly Conduct in Montrose on Feb. 4.
Ryan Richard Smith, 33, Uniondale, to 30 days to 6 months for Driving Under the Influence in Forest City on Dec. 23, 2011.
Lonny Lee Hurst Jr., 32, of Mansfield, to 90 days to two years minus one day for Driving Under the Influence in Bridgewater Twp. on Oct. 22, 2011.
Cody Allen Brown, 22, Meshoppen, to two years probation for Criminal Conspiracy/Criminal Trespass in Auburn Twp. on Jan. 1.
Alexander W Scott, 49, of Kingsley, to nine months probation for Misapplication of Entrusted Property in Brooklyn Twp. on Feb. 16, 2011.
Stacie Michele Congdon-Wilder, 36, of Windsor, N.Y., to two years minus one day probation for Theft by Unlawful Taking in New Milford Twp. on April 29.
Donald Timothy Goble, 37, of Lawton, to two to six months for Driving Under the Influence in Bridgewater Twp. on Dec. 9, 2011. Goble also received three to 23-1/2 months, to run concurrent with the above sentence for Accident Involving Death or Personal Injury While Not Properly Licensed in Bridgewater Twp. on Dec. 9, 2011.

Suspects trapped a man in his own driveway, then beat him with their guns.
Officers in Pueblo tracked down the suspects' car, but say both men remain at large.
The assault happened in broad daylight. Just before 10 a.m. Wednesday, the 52-year-old was pulling into his driveway on the 2200 block of Rice Avenue. A dark-colored Acura followed him into the driveway, blocking him in. Two masked suspects emerged from the car and started attacking him. Police say the suspects beat the homeowner with the back ends of a shotgun and handgun, then punched him with their fists. The victim suffered minor injuries.
The suspect vehicle was later found almost two miles away on Berkley Avenue, but the occupants were long gone. Central High School was put on lockdown while officers searched vacant homes in the area.
The suspects are both described as Hispanic men dressed in white shirts and blue jeans, ages unknown. The first suspect is reportedly 5-foot-9 and has short dark wavy hair. The second suspect is described as being slightly shorter, about 5-foot-7, with short dark hair.

I am very annoyed with this rash on my cheek. It is red and it has some bumpy red pimplelike things on it. I don't know what it is or anything to treat it with. I want to try it treat it before I go ask a docter. Thanks ans serious answers only.
4 Responses to "Bumpy and red rash thing on my cheek?"
sounds like allergies since it's this time of the year.
could be heat rash (u dont have to be hot to get it) you could have an elergic reaction to something (but then it would be all over, even if its make up it wud be all on face) try and put some sudo cream (normaly used for nappy rash but i swear by it) or savalon its like a rash cream that u can use on skin (in uk, maybe in other places its called different names) good luck and if it hasnt cleared up go docs
1) you could be allergic to something
2) you must have been exposed to poison ivy
3) it's just irritation from the dye in your clothes or the hot weather
You can either soak in a warm bath of Epsom salt and take something for the inflammation.
Or you can go the the doctor, just to be on the safe side.
its probably an allergic reaction to the sun….make sure that any of your family member do not touch it …cause it may be contagious….apply some unscented lotion to it….also do not scratch it…you'll just make it worse….if scars are left behind use a skin lighter to clear it up.

COMPASSION AND RESILIENCE: Transforming Secondary Trauma and Compassion Fatigue
Instructor(s): Sharon Salzberg, Roshi Joan Halifax
Whether caregivers within their family, network of friends or in a helping profession, most witness suffering everyday. They readily recognize the questions: "How does one cope with the pain of others day in and day out?" "How does one "turn off" work when you go home?" "Isn't it hard to let go of the terrible things you see and hear?" As we try to open to others and be of help, we find that it is not at all unusual to fall into exhaustion, frustration and demoralization. In this retreat we use contemplative methods to help access the resiliency of the human spirit, to balance compassion for oneself and for others, and to cultivate greater calm, clarity, and peace of mind.

Annual Report Fiscal Year 2004–2005
This summary of the Annual Report highlights the Conservation Department's accomplishments and expenditures from July 1, 2004, through June 30, 2005. These accomplishments are based on the three components of the Department's mission statement
"To protect and manage the fish, forest and wildlife resources of the state."
Bagnell Dam/AmerenUE Settlement: The settlement agreement asks the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to adopt specific conditions to protect the fishery and wetland resources affected by the relicensing of Bagnell Dam/AmerenUE power generation utility. If accepted, the benefits to the natural resources, and the multi-billion dollar Lake of the Ozarks tourism industry, will extend for the 40-year life of the new license. At Lake of the Ozarks, fish kills will be minimized, critical habitats protected and adequate water levels retained. Water quality and habitat improvements will be provided for the 82 miles of the Osage River below Bagnell Dam.
Mississippi River Sturgeon Regulations: In cooperation with Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee, the Department established new regulations on the commercial harvest of shovelnose sturgeon in the Mississippi River. These regulations are designed to protect the sturgeon population from overharvest due to the worldwide demand for caviar.
Catfish Harvest Management Study: In 2004, a 5-year catfish harvest management study was initiated to learn about flathead and blue catfish ecology and population dynamics. In 2005, more than 8,000 catfish were captured, tagged and released; it is the largest such study ever conducted. Monitoring population and size-class changes will provide better information to manage these popular sportfish. The study will also look at spawning behavior and catfish movement.
Healthy Forests: Over 53,000 acres of forestland were actively managed during the 2004–05 fiscal year. Missouri's public forests are managed to promote forest health and sustainability. Additionally, managed forests provide opportunities for hiking, equestrian use, birding, hunting and numerous other activities.
Conserving All Wildlife in Missouri: The Comprehensive Wildlife Conservation Strategy was completed and submitted to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It is a federal requirement that will allow Missourians to obtain additional federal funds. The strategy describes the Department's plans for conserving native plants and animals and the habitats they depend upon.
Quail and Grassland Bird Habitat: The Department emphasized restoration of quail and grassland bird habitats on Department lands, implemented regional quail/grassland bird action plans, and identified prospective private landowner cooperatives within quail focus areas. Quail and bird population monitoring was implemented to evaluate management actions.

BOSTON ( MainStreet) -- The real world is a scary place right now, especially for recent college graduates just trying to avoid it.Unemployment is at 9.1% as job growth sputters, existing home sales are down 8.8% as credit tightens and down payments rise and the average cost of just about anything is up 3.7% in the past year, according to the Consumer Price Index. If you were a college student, would you want to do a keg stand of that reality after four years of the good life?
Almost 40% of those between 18 and 24 are in college, which is more than any generation before and fueled by those who went to community college or graduate school after giving up on the job hunt. As a result, only 63% of those 18 to 30 are employed, compared with 70% of Generation X and 66% of baby boomers when they were the same age. Of those 18 to 30 who weathered the recession, 13% moved back home with their parents, another 15% took a roommate to cut costs and only 22% own their own home, less than any other generation before. If this is the battle they face, is facing it in a city with lots of people their own age, tons of bars, restaurants, coffee shops and other spots to hang out and cheap public transit or easy walking and biking paths too much to ask? At least five cities don't think so. We found a handful of places that are a boon for young college grads and filled with activities and amenities for those not quite ready to let the real world shut down the party or yell "last call" just yet:

GTN ultimately plans to incorporate the system
into a complete Digital Intermediate workflow.
"HD and data-based post production is no longer exceptional, it is increasingly
standard practice for advertisers," says GTN owner/CEO Doug Cheek. "This system
helps us to keep pace with our clients' current and future requirements for
high quality repurposing of their content."
The Spirit 2K facilitates the production of a 2K master, which can then be used
to create all of the deliverable elements required by advertisers, including

May 3, 2016
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- In audio tapes released to various media outlets from the 911 call of Florida triple-murder suspect David Smith to a Knox County dispatcher, Smith said the world was under evil control.
Smith called 911 from a Knox County motel room on May 27. He said he was wanted for murder in Polk County, Florida, and admitted killing his sister and two others. He also said he had a .40-caliber rifle and was ready to die. He said his blood would cleanse the world or start World War III.
According to an account of the recordings in the Knoxville News Sentinel (http://bit.ly/1k6jfP7 ) Smith told the dispatcher he was bipolar and not taking his medication.
SWAT officers found Smith suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Recycling is an important contributor to the economy of Illinois, providing local jobs through the network of municipal and private collection programs, material recovery facilities, reclaimers, converters, brokers, reuse operations, remanufactures and recycled-content product manufacturers. Further, recycling replaces materials often mined and manufactured outside of the state with materials collected and processed within Illinois. Not only does recycling save significant energy, but it also creates 6-10 times as many jobs as landfilling the same amount of material.
A recently completed study commissioned by the Illinois Department of Commerce studied the economic impact recycling has on the Illinois economy. This report updated a study the Department of Commerce had completed in 2001. The full 2010 report details the methodology followed to calculate the economic impacts, as well as documents differences from the 2001 Report methodology. Changes in methodology were made for the Study Update to more accurately reflect the economic contribution of the recycling industry of Illinois, even though in most cases these changes reduce the estimated economic impact when compared to the 2001 Report.
This Study Update presents both the direct economic impacts of the recycling and reuse industries in Illinois, as well as estimates of indirect and induced impacts. An attempt was made to model the indirect and induced impacts associated with all of the recycling, recycling reliant and reuse industries without double counting. Based on a "whole model approach" it is estimated that the combined direct, indirect and induced impacts of Illinois' Recycling, Recycling Reliant and Reuse Industries are roughly responsible for:
• A total of 111,500 jobs;• Payroll of $3.6 billion; • $30.3 billion in additional gross receipts; and, • Over $1 billion in state and local taxes (see Table 9 for details).
Below is a summary of how jobs, payroll, gross receipts and tax numbers break out:

I'm just wondering if yourself or any other members can give any feedback on how this compares to "Maxicrop Seaweed Extract"?
The reason I ask is because for a liter of 'Maxicrop Seaweed Extract' your looking at about £6 but for a liter of "Plant Magic CATALYST" your talking about £45
So I'm just wondering, what makes "Catalyst" so special that it warrants spending the extra £40?
Thanks in advance!

What's the difference between this and Maxicrop etc to warrant the price difference?

Its manufacture is very expensive, original maxicrop which I currently use is an 8% solids alkaline seaweed extraction ph 7.6, this product is a 30% solids extraction, if you want to compare it, its more like Nitrozyme as a parallel type product, not sure on this but I think this may be a little more concentrated.
Thats all I know, sorry if its not much to add, I'll report back once I've given it a test and see what I think of it.

I was given a sample to try, have not got round to it yet, from what I have been told, its water extracted, not chemically extracted, this is said to keep all the active ingredients intact and preserved in more or less their original natural forms where they are most effective, its ph is 4.6 much as the seaweed is in nature.

Cant wait to see how you get on and any further info Webby can provide us with! A product potentially better than Maxicrop certainly will be a gem for us lot!
Sorry if this is a stupid question OT but is Maxicrop is chemically extracted and if so is that normal procedure for SA approved organic product? Thanks in advance!

Bear in mind that manufacturing technique is important in its effect on the final product. Alkaline extraction requires the use of higher temperatures and chemical inputs, this could affect the active ingredients it also results in a product with a much higher pH value.
We looked for a product that retained as far as possible all the seaweed ingredients, in their natural proportions, that these were extracted without damaging them. Catalyst contains the natural balance of everything the living seaweed contained concentrated several times, it has all the soluble elements in seaweed as well as 30% of weight by volume of seaweed solids, it is a complete natural product.
As a note, In the horticultural trade acidic buffering agents are sold to help absorption of foliar nutrient sprays.
Catalyst is a good alternative, the addition of as low as 1:2000 up to 1:1000 in a fertiliser, fungicide or insecticide mix will assist their foliar uptake and absorption, adding a small jollop of Bio-Wetter makes it perfect.
Randalizer gius a chance mate! We are a little Brit start up company trying to get on our feet in a time of trading-banking chaos.
Are any of these products available in the states yet?

RISMEDIA, April 1, 2012–In anticipation of a busy residential real estate market this spring, Prudential Preferred Realty recently introduced a new feature on its website that will help match prospective home buyers with potentially compatible Prudential agents. The Prudential Preferred Realty Agent Compatibility Matcher provides people with an automated and interesting way to find an agent who matches their unique preferences.
"Compatibility is an important part of any successful relationship," said Debra Arrisher, director of marketing for Prudential Preferred Realty. "We hope that this online feature helps potential buyers, particularly those who don't already have an agent relationship, find agents who have similar styles, common interests or real estate expertise that matches their needs."
The Agent Compatibility Matcher works in a similar way to an online dating site. It uses an algorithm to rank a customer's preferences with the self-authored profiles of the more than 250 agents who are in the matching system.
People interested in trying the free service can visit www.prudentialpreferredrealty.com and click on "Agent Compatibility Matcher." They will be prompted to complete a brief multiple-choice survey online, where they will provide their interests, real estate needs and tastes. They then will receive a list of potential "matches" – profiles of Prudential Preferred Realty agents who might be a fit.
"We know that the vast majority of people start their home searches online, and they continue to rely on the expertise of their agents to guide them in their home buying journey," Arrisher said. "We feel this is a unique, customer-centric approach to helping Internet-savvy buyers solve their challenge of finding the right agent, while also highlighting our company's best asset — our professional agents."
Brian Cummings, a Prudential Preferred Realty sales associate and associate broker in the Rt. 19 South office, was the first agent to be contacted by a customer through the Agent Compatibility Matcher. Cummings and his wife Karen Cummings, who also is a Prudential Preferred Realty sales associate, met with the customer and now have listed his home for sale.
"It was nice to know off the bat what common ground you might have with a potential client, and vice versa," Cummings said. "We're excited about the potential of the Agent Compatibility Matcher and are looking forward to working with our new customer to sell his home for the best price possible."
Ron Croushore, Prudential Preferred Realty owner and CEO and current President of the West Penn Multi-List, Inc., added: "Home listings, sales and average sale price are on the rise in Southwestern Pennsylvania. We're pleased to build on Prudential Preferred Realty's already robust website to better serve our customers and support our agents, just in time for what we expect to be a busy spring and summer real estate market in our region."
Prudential Preferred Realty employs 120 employees and more than 600 residential sales associates in Southwestern Pennsylvania. It is part of the national Prudential network, yet is locally owned and operated. Prudential Preferred Realty's professional agents have been helping Western Pennsylvanians with their real estate challenges for generations. Visit http://www.prudentialpreferredrealty.com or call 800-860-SOLD to learn more about how Prudential Preferred Realty's agents can help with your real estate challenges.

'Shirley Valentine' finds a home in Petaluma
Last week, the financially struggling Sonoma County Repertory Theater announced that it would close its Sebastopol theater after its final performance of "Cyrano" on Feb. 20. That means, of course, that the half-dozen shows scheduled there for the rest of the year are left without a home. Except for one. Mary Gannon Graham's reprise of the one-woman show, "Shirley Valentine," about a middle-aged English housewife searching for freedom, was scheduled to open in Sebastopol this spring. Instead, "Shirley Valentine" will… Read More »

Sentiment Surprise
European Commission surveys showed that morale remained uplifted in the month of January. According to the commission's survey on consumer sentiment, optimism over the fading European Union fiscal crisis added 1.4 points to the overall reading of 89.2 – a six-month high. Subsequently, the tick higher is serving as confirmation, once again, that a silver lining is being presented despite anticipated lower growth in the first three months of the year. The brighter results are being coupled with a 2.5 point recovery in the Eurozone PMI survey, which now stands at 48.2 for the same month.
Although still widely contractionary, the improvement in the PMI survey is helping to reinforce the notion that underlying fundamentals are forming a base of sorts, lending to speculation of a EU recovery in the second half of 2013.
Dropping Debt Costs
Debt yield costs continued their downward spiral as the Italian Treasury held its 10-year benchmark bond auction earlier today. Selling the maximum 6.5 billion euros offering, the Treasury saw tepid demand as the bid to cover ratio stood at 1.32. Although not all too bad, the lower figure simply reflects thinning demand on the heels of the nation's second major auction this week. As a result of the auction target being reached, yields on the 10-year note fell to 4.17% compared to 4.48% in a previously similar auction – the lowest since 2010.
All in all, the bond auction can be considered a success as it bolsters the notion that market concern is dissipating on evidence that the EU has stabilized – albeit for now. The sentiment additionally supports the notion that Mario Monti may be set to take the limelight as Italy's PM once again when national elections are held next month – considered Euro bullish.
What To Watch Out For
With the EURUSD now higher above the 1.3550 figure, it's plausible that the single currency will be able to advance towards near term resistance at 1.3716. A break higher through the figure would prompt a likely test of medium term targets at 1.3890.

According to an American audit released Monday, the U.S. "wasted" more than $200 million on a program to train Iraqi police that will now be canceled. The Police Development Program (PDP) was envisioned as a five-year multi-billion dollar interim program in which security forces were to be trained in order to maintain stability in post-war Iraq. Baghdad, however, never formally committed to it and now, facing its reported "disinterest", the U.S. is pulling the plug on what was to be the centerpiece of U.S. training efforts.
The PDP consisted of the $108 million Baghdad Police College Annex and a $98 million site at the U.S. consulate; the former will be turned over to the Iraqis by year's end. From its original 350 advisers, the program is left with 36, many of whom will be based in the Kurdish region, which embraced the police training program. Cutting the PDP ends an era marked by heavy American investment into Iraqi security forces. Since 2003, the U.S. has spent $8 billion training and equipping Iraqi policemen, which some estimates indicate has allowed Iraqi police forces to grow by a factor of more than 10.

The PDP's failure and other American shortcomings resulting from what some have termed a premature withdrawal from Iraq threaten the future stability and security of the Arab state. Given Iraq's regional importance, at a time when all eyes are focused on Syrian internal violence, more diplomatic focus should be shifted eastward.

By: The Root Staff Posted: April 17 2014 12:35 PM 0 Andre Johnson Kron4.com Rapper Andre Johnson cut off his penis and jumped from a North Hollywood apartment building early Wednesday morning, police told CNN. According to the report, Johnson, who goes by the name "Christ Bearer" as a member of the Wu-Tang Clan-affiliated group Northstar, survived the fall with serious injuries. Johnson was being treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Wednesday, according to police sources, who said the penis was recovered. Details about what may have triggered the incident are not yet available. According to TMZ, two fellow artists who were at the scene said that Johnson's actions came without warning. One of them said there were not "any hard drugs that would cause him to do such a thing." Johnson's recording credits include "When the Guns Come Out," which was included on the soundtrack of the 2004 film Blade: Trinity. Some observers have cautioned that, despite the bizarre nature of this story, any act of self-harm should be treated with the same gravity—and inspire the same concern for mental health—as stories such as that of the recent suicide of 22-year-old For Brown Girls blogger Karyn Parker.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
The name Nipper comes from the ancient Scottish kingdom of Dalriada, where it was used to indicate someone who worked as a person at a royal court who was in charge of the tablecloths and linen, which were collectively called the napery.
Since medieval scribes still spelled according to sound, records from that era contain an enormous number of spelling variations. In various documents Nipper has been spelled Napier, Naper, Napper, Naiper, Napeer, Neaper and others.
First found in Perthshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Pheairt) former county in the present day Council Area of Perth and Kinross, located in central Scotland, where this Clan, which was one of the oldest Clans in Scotland, descended from the Earl of Lennox who turned the tide of battle in 1057 and King Malcolm Canmore bestowed on him the name "Na Peer" within his realm and commanded him to adopt that name henceforth. John Naper was granted the lands of Kylmethew by King Malcolm and the lands of Goffard in Fife.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Nipper research. Another 489 words (35 lines of text) covering the years 1280, 1294, 1308, 1401, 1437, 1440, 1451, 1550, 1610, 1550, 1617, 1560, 1637, 1603, 1661, 1625, 1660, 1606, 1673, 1683, 1642, 1700, 1690, 1698 and 1700 are included under the topic Early Nipper History in all our PDF Extended History products.
Another 345 words (25 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Nipper Notables in all our PDF Extended History products.
Some of the Nipper family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt. Another 107 words (8 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products.
Descendents of Dalriadan-Scottish families still populate many communities across North America. They are particularly common in Canada, since many went north as United Empire Loyalists at the time of the American War of Independence. Much later, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the highland games and Clan societies that now dot North America sprang up, allowing many Scots to recover their lost national heritage. Some of the first immigrants to cross the Atlantic and come to North America bore the name Nipper, or a variant listed above:
Nipper Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Nipper Settlers in United States in the 20th Century
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Sans tache
Motto Translation: Without stain
The Nipper Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Nipper Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

Our View: Three words for Placer County: Stop the insanity
Our View
Insanity, as Albert Einstein once said, is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Most people would agree with the famous physicist. Sanity, as defined by the Placer County Board of Supervisors, is giving large pay raises to six-figure administrators while asking for benefit concessions from deputies and furloughs for the rank-and-file. Insanity reared its ugly head Tuesday when supervisors approved 5 percent increases for the county dentist and Tamara Uhler, assistant director of child support services and wife of Supervisor Kirk Uhler. They also approved a 10 percent raise for the director of the Local Agency Formation Commission. Supervisors Rocky Rockholm, Robert Weygandt and Jim Holmes voted in favor of the raises, and Jennifer Montgomery voted against them. Kirk Uhler was absent from the vote. We have three words for supervisors: Stop the insanity. No explanations about step increases, or merit increases for someone who has been employed for six months (as Tamara Uhler has), or that these raises are necessary to keep the "best and brightest" from leaving. Enough. These actions don't stand up to reason. Placer County is in a financial crisis, and the worst is still ahead. Projections include a $20 million budget shortfall in 2010-11 and $33 million in 2011-12. Reductions and reserves will be used to balance the budget, but wouldn't it make sense to stop the bleeding before hacking off another limb? Why in the world are department directors proposing any salary increases, and why is county Chief Executive Officer Tom Miller sending those proposals on to supervisors for their vote? And why don't supes have the courage to "just say no?" Insanity, insanity, insanity. At a time when every expense should be questioned and layoff scrutinized, a wage and salary freeze would be the first order of business for management. Austerity should start at the top and trickle all the way down. That seemed to be the theme of an op-ed piece penned by Rockholm in this space on Feb. 2. "It is a daunting task to maintain critical services and meet our goal of not laying off employees, keeping as many people, if not all our people, working," Rockholm wrote. "At the same time, we need to find long-term solutions to our budget problems rather than a Band-Aid approach that tends to delay difficult decisions and make solutions more elusive. "It is clear we can't tax and spend our way out of the current economic downturn. Nor can we get there through mandatory time off and pay reductions," he wrote. No to Band-Aids? How about rejecting all management raises, starting today and lasting as long as deep budget cuts are expected? Saying no to the three management-level raises would have saved the county about $24,000 annually. That might not be enough to save a position, but it's a start. And that's what taxpayers are waiting for — a start by county leaders that such fiscal insanity has to end. Across the country, people are congregating on street corners and in arenas, saying they're not going to take it anymore. Some call it the "tea party" movement, targeting President Obama and Congress for trillion-dollar deficits and multi-billion spending. Even Kirk Uhler's father, Lew Uhler, has joined in. His National Tax Limitation Committee routinely skewers California and Washington, D.C. for liberal, tax-and-spend philosophies that are bankrupting the state and nation. What does Lew Uhler think of these raises? Are they too small and insignificant to be noticed in the sea of red ink flowing from Sacramento and the nation's capital? Placer County's unemployment stands at 11.3 percent, slightly better than the state rate, but bad nonetheless. Citizens understand that having a job is a precious commodity, and that getting a raise in this economy isn't expected — at any level. It's time for supervisors to hear the call of taxpayers, before it's too late.

Lovely, Old, Yellow Terrace Houses
Østervoldgade & Store Kongensgade
Nyboder was built as a residential area for the people of the Danish Navy in the 1630s, commissioned by King Christian IV. The terrace houses have been rebuilt many times, but some of the first buildings are still standing in their original, characteristic style. Today, the houses are inhabited by military people, even though a lot of pilots and seamen will have to bend their heads several times a day because of the low door-frames. The area is most beautiful in the evening when the sun is shining. At a moment like that, this whole area is unique and idyllic. Beautiful things about the Nyboder houses are their yellow colour and the infinite repetitions. The slanted gables and the small windows and doors are very charming.
Nearest Train or Bus:
Østerport Station
Best Modes of Transportation: Bicycle Bus Train Walking
Notes: Direct trains run from Copenhagen Main Railway Station to Østerport Station. Take Bus 5A from Copenhagen Main Railway Station to Østerport Station and Nyboder is situated opposite the station. Journey time is approximately 10 minutes.
