In the last few weeks, struggling dieters have gotten a bit more ammunition for their battle against the bulge: For the first time in 13 years, the Food and Drug Administration approved a new weight-loss drug. Make that two new drugs: Belviq (locaserin) and Qsymia (a combination of the appetite suppressant phentermine and the anti-seizure/migraine drug topiramate). MORE got the skinny on both from Abraham Thomas, MD, MPH, head of endocrinology at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit and chair of the FDA advisory panels that evaluated the medications.
Can anyone use these drugs for weight loss?
These aren't for people who just want to drop a few pounds. They're intended for those who are obese (BMI 30+) or overweight (BMI 27+) with at least one weight-related condition, like hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes or sleep apnea. Your doctor will be able to prescribe both Belvig and Qsmyia, but to avoid misuse, Qsmyia will only be dispensed by mail order pharmacies who register to carry it. (Qsmyia.com will post a pharmacy list when the drug becomes available.)
How do these drugs work?
Both medications curb appetite and help you feel full on fewer calories. Belviq works by acting somewhat like the neurotransmitter serotonin. The phentermine part of Qsymia controls appetite mainly by increasing your amounts of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine and to a lesser degree, dopamine and serotonin. Topiramate is believed to work by boosting feelings of fullness.
Is one drug more effective than the other?
The drugs haven't been tested against each other, but separate studies suggest that more people lose more weight with Qsymia. Some 62 to 70 percent of those on this combo medication lost at least 5 percent of their starting weight (for a 170-pound woman that's 8.5 or more pounds), and 15 percent lost considerably more: 20 percent (at 170 pounds, that comes to 34 pounds). The latter number is in the range of what you can lose with gastric bypass surgery. In contrast, 47 percent of those taking Belviq lost 5 percent of their weight.
It should be noted that to get these kinds of results, you also need to diet and exercise while taking the medications.
Is one safer?
Qsymia is associated with more risks (including elevated heart rate and blood pressure, cognitive dysfunction, and birth defects) than Belviq (depression, migraines, memory problems), one reason the combo drug will be so carefully controlled. Given the risks of obesity itself, the FDA panel thought that the benefits of the two medications outweighed their risks.
Do the drugs work for everyone?
If one of these drugs is going to work for you, you should be losing at least a half-pound to a pound a week during the first 12 weeks of taking it. If not, talk to your doctor about upping your dose if you're on Qsymia or changing drugs. Since the drugs work in different ways, switching from one to the other may be helpful.

Comments about Womens OluKai Nohea Canvas Casual Shoe:
These would be great for the summer if only not so wide for someone with a bit narrow of a foot. They also run a bit large. I am true size 9 in casual shoes, but the 8 1/2 fit better, just too wide. I ended up with the nubuck style - they were a more narrow fit and I still had to go with 8 1/2. Very comfy though and will look great casual or with a skirt!

Miami Dolphins add H-back Charles Clay for mismatches
Looks like Lousaka Polite's going to have a little competition for playing time.
The Miami Dolphins wanted to find a seam threat/ H-back type of player to create mismatches with linebacker, and it appears they selected one – Tulsa H-back Charles Clay in the sixth round of the 2011 draft.
Clay, who has experience as Tulsa's WILDCAT quarterback, was rated by ProFootball Weekly as the fifth best tight end in the 2011 draft. Problem is he rarely lined up as a tight end because he spent so much of his career in the backfield.
The Dolphins passed on Nevada tight end Virgil Green and swapped sixth and seventh round pick with the Green Bay Packers to acquire Clay, who caught 189 passes for 2,544 yards and scored 28 touchdowns during his college career.
He's clearly a confident kid, and it appears he'll be pushing Polite, who had a difficult season last year.
The Dolphins had three rookie tight ends – Dedrick Epps, Jeron Mastrud and Mickey Shuler – on the roster last season and it appears they will continue to invest in the trio.

The Frilled Lizard gets it name from a scaly frill that is folded against the back of its neck and head. When frightened or angry, the frill will become erect, and it can measure up to 12" in diameter. When closed, the frill is the same color of the body, but when open, the inside surface is a brilliant red or orange color.
When you handle your frilled lizard, support most of its body weight in your hand, allowing it to grasp your arm as it would a tree branch or trunk. Handling them from a young age will help them to become more outgoing and open to interaction with you.

3 Rides You Can Do this Weekend
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Even Betasso is open
By Gloria Liu
Riding for Boulderites doesn't have to be boring just because our favorite climbs aren't open at the moment. The weather forecast for the weekend is high-50s and clear - perfect weather for fall riding. Here are three ideas that will circumvent road closures and keep your rides fun this weekend:
1) Take your 'cross bike for a spin on the Boulder Roubaix course.
Mix it up on your cross bike with this post-flood friendly variation of the Boulder Roubaix course. Thanks to Charlie Bartel of Longmont for the route suggestion. The route alternates between road and dirt/gravel, but you'll definitely want the 'cross bike rather than the road bike right now as the gravel portions have seen some washout.
We'll mostly follow the course with some post-flood concessions made for the road closure on Hygiene between 59th and 75th, but we'll make up for the extra pavement by adding some dirt on the way from Boulder. (See the race course here: http://303cycling.com/files/roubaix_2014_v1.pdf).
Now an altered cue sheet from Boulder starting at 28th and Jay. The round trip for this ride will be 32 miles from that point, more than 50% of which is on dirt/gravel. See a map of this route and download the cue sheet.
2) Sunday Funday at Centennial Cone (MTB).
Centennial Cone is often overlooked when it comes to lower elevation weekend rides near the Front Range. It's tucked away up Clear Creek Canyon unlike the more visible and thus top of mind trails in the Golden area. Its understated reputation notwithstanding, this is a solid intermediate ride that will give you a workout and put a smile on your face, with 2300 feet of climbing in 16.6 miles, 80% of which is singletrack. (For better or worse, those 2300 feet are interspersed throughout the ride rather than in one big grind). Best of all, you can get there in about an hour from Boulder. Enjoy stunning views and lots of ponderosa pines, tight downhill switchbacks that will exercise your cornering skills, and just enough exposure on certain sections to keep you honest...
On weekends, mountain bikers are only allowed on even-numbered days, which would fall on Sunday this week.
jeffco.us provides directions: To get to the Mayhem Gulch trailhead on Clear Creek Canyon road - Driving from Golden, the Mayhem Gulch trailhead is between mile marker 262.5 and 262, 9.5 miles from the intersection of US 6 and State Highway 93, on the north side of the road. MTBproject.com has a great description of the trail, and you can see some more stats in this file from Adam Haid of Erie.
If you're not up for a drive, Marshall Mesa and the upper loops at Betasso are both open. Note that you'll have to drive up to Betasso as the Canyon bike trail and the Fourmile connector remain closed. Check trail conditions on http://bouldermountainbike.org or Twitter using the hashtag #boco_trails before you go.
3) Group ride for a cause with Cyclists for Jamestown.
Get social and do good - be a part of Cyclists for Jamestown, an all-day event benefiting flood relief for Jamestown residents. There are a few group ride option rides for C4J this Saturday, including:
- Ride with the pros at C4J including Mara Abbott, Matt Cooke, Carter Jones, Kiel Reijnen and more. $20 donation. Ride rolls out from C4J at 10:00 a.m.
- Venus de Miles group ride to C4J from Full Cycles Pearl St at 10:30 a.m., wheels down at 10:45 a.m. ~30 miles, all levels.
- Boulder Cycle Sport group ride to C4J, 10:30 a.m., ~40 miles, all levels.
Afterwards, partake in the silent auction, beer from Avery, and food from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the fundraiser. More info at http://c4jtown.com/.
In closing, while we just have to be patient as we wait for some of our favorite rides to re-open, there's no reason that you can't have fun on your bike this weekend by doing something different, going for a short drive out of town, or participating in a social ride for good. To see closures of all Boulder County roads, visit their page for cycling closures http://maps.bouldercounty.org/roadclosuresbicycles/, and remember that not all roads that are open to vehicles are open to bikes yet (Sunshine Canyon for example). Check the map, plan your route, and then go ride!
Where do you plan on riding this weekend?

Another blow to alternative rock in Orlando happened this week when Lyrica was bought out by the owners of Deko's and Scoop. Anyone familiar with the UCF nightclubs know alternative rock will not be a part of their lineup at the new club that will be called Vain.
But it may actually get some folks inside the old Cairo/Renaissance space again.
Although, I don't think it was the music format that killed Lyrica. In fact, the most popular nights at the club were when DJ Paul Vaine (no relation to the new name of the club) brought his Visage nights (pictured here) to the space. Not current alternative rock, but an old-school variety that worked well and has a solid following.
No, I think it was the management of Lyrica that did the place in (you can read my first impressions of the club here). It's a shame because it's a fabulous space, when the toilets aren't overflowing and it's staffed appropriately. I also heard bands were expected to pay outrageous rates for the lighting and sound when playing there.
Co-owner of Vain, Gio Irene, says the new club will be a mix of Dragon Room, Roxy, Bliss and Latitudes. He says this right after telling me they're bringing a new high-energy concept to Orlando playing a mix of Top 40, mashups and hip-hop. He says a first for the area that is normally bar-driven.
I know the Top 40 format brings in a crowd, but it being something new to downtown Orlando is kind of laughable. With clubs such as the three he mentioned above playing it along with: Antigua, 23, Chillers, Rok Room, Mako's, Suite B, Sky60, Club Limelite, Vintage, Vixen, Tabu and Bullitt Bar. And that's just places people go to specifically dance, I'm not even bringing up the bars that play the format in the background. And I'm sure there are more I'm just forgetting in general right now.
It's a mainstream formula that works, but to refer to it as anything innovative to downtown Orlando's nightlife scene is silly.
But Irene says they're not closed off to using the huge stage inside the space, at 21 S. Court Street, for live shows still. In fact, he wanted me to post his number here for any folks that had events with Lyrica to contact him because he's open to rescheduling. You can reach him at 407-309-0729.
I'll let you know when Vain officially opens.

Yes, it's time for another one of my "The Best…." lists. one will highlight the websites I think are the best for teaching about geography.
As in my other lists, the criteria include that the sites don't require any software download, and that they're free, engaging, and accessible to English Language Learners.
I suspect that many will disagree with the fact that that Google Earth is not on my list. It's not there because, one, it requires a download and, two, I just haven't used it much. Yes, yes, I know there are tons of lessons and ideas about how to use it, and many teachers apparently teach with it very effectively. In fact, you can find many Google Earth resource links on my Teacher's Page under Geography Teacher Resources. I've just never felt the potential benefit was worth spending my time trying to figure out how to use it.
My opinion might change, though, since I've read in more than one place that Google is planning on moving most of the capabilities of Google Earth to a browser-based application so that a download will not be required.
You can find all of these links, along with thousands more, on my website. If you're interested in particular list, you might want to make a point of checking-out my Geography page.
Here are my top picks for The Best Websites For Learning & Teaching Geography:
Number twelve is a very creative game called Scribble States. Players have to "connect the dots" with a virtual pencil, and then have to answer a multiple-choice question about which state (in the United States) they just drew. And the whole thing is timed, to boot!
Mapping Our World from Oxfam is a great series of animated and audio lesson on maps, and the accuracy and inaccuracy of their projections affect our view of the world. I've ranked site number eleven.
Number ten is sort of a tie between three sites that are good reference sites for students to use when they're researching different countries. One is Fact Monster- Countries. Another is DK Online World Desk Reference. For DK you have to get a password, but it's free, quick and easy to do so. My students, and I, have found these two sites very informative and accessible. The third one, though, I believe is slightly better because it appears to have more up-to-date data and it includes images. It's called the World Info Zone.
There's another tie for the ninth spot on my list. Both offer an extensive collection of online videos from around the world. The two are Geobeats and National Geographic Videos.
Eighth place is yet another tie between Zipskinny and HotPads. They both provide extensive demographic information about individual neighborhoods in the United States. Zipskinny presents in fairly straightforward text, while HotPads shows it more visually. You might find it useful to read my original posts about Zipskinny and HotPads to get a little more information on how the two compare with each other.
Mythic Journeys is number seven. You can see, hear and read animated tales about creation myths from around the world at site. These will certainly help students learn about different cultures.
The Traveler IQ Challenge is probably going to be just about the most difficult map game you'll ever play. But it's a lot of fun, and there are "Challenges" from all parts of the world. I've ranked these games number six.
Community Walk is number five. Students can put many sites on a map with descriptions and images (which can easily be grabbed off the web). Students can use these to report on countries, describe field trips, and for numerous other mapping assignments. There are lots of these kinds of site, but I've found Community Walk to be the most accessible.
Placespotting is number four. Students are shown a spot on the map, and given a series of riddles to help them determine what it is. All these geographic riddles are user-generated, and students can create their own, too.
Nations Illustrated is number three. You can look at beautiful pictures from around the world individually or in a slideshow. Students can choose images to write about and send them as an E-Card. Links to the E-Card can then be posted on an online journal or blog.
There's a tie for the second spot. Tripwiser and Yahoo Travel all allow students to learn about places and plan a trip to anywhere in the world, which they can then post on an online journal or blog. The sites require free registration, but it's easy and quick. (In fact, since I originally wrote post, many other similar sites have cropped-up. You can find them all at The Best Sites Where Students Can Plan Virtual Trips).
Finally, the number one website for learning and teaching Geography is…. the Social Studies page at I Know That. It has tons of different kinds of map games that are informative and fun. Once you click on each game, an annoying pop-up asks if you want to register. But all you have to do is click "maybe later" and it goes away.
Map Battle is the newest addition to list, and is a very easy-to-use tool to create geography games online. It's like a less-fancy The Traveler IQ Challenge game.
10 Websites For Virtual Sightseeing With Travel Videos is a nice list from The Make Use of blog.
At the BBC's Dimensions site you identify an event or object (The Great Wall Of China, a battle, etc.), then type in a zipcode, and then it will overlay the dimensions of that event or object to the zip code you picked.
D-Maps has a huge collection of map outlines to print for class use.
The Guardian newspaper has begun to place links to their many travel videos on a Google Maps mashup, which makes them much more accessible.
Would Be A Nice Geography Assessment is a post I've written.
National Geographic has unveiled a new website for teachers — National Geographic Education.
I've previously highlighted Glencoe's online videos for social studies, but have now discovered that offer many more free resources to support all their social studies textbooks. They're useful even if you don't use their books, though, and they're freely available. You can start off at their main Social Studies site or at their main site for all their textbooks. From there, it's easy to navigate to their U.S. History, World History and Geography books. They all have links to videos, "in-motion animations" like one, interactive maps like (I especially like these maps because they offer audio support for the text), and different games (I especially like their categorization activities). Here is the link to the entire video collection.
Daily life in May around the world is a series of photos from The Sacramento Bee.
Maps Of The World has lots of free printable…maps.
The New York Times Learning Network has published an excellent post called All Over the Map: 10 Ways to Teach About Geography.
Urban Observatory lets you compare three major cities of your choice from around the world and map data about them in a number of areas (population density, open space, etc.). You can read more about it at Wired.
Here's an example showing traffic at the same time of day:
40 maps that explain the world is a great collection from the Washington Post that may be the best geography site of the year. It links to another site called 40 Maps They Didn't Teach You In School that has a number of other good maps. However, that second site also includes a few maps with topics and language that wouldn't be appropriate for the classroom.
Now, The Post has published a sequel: 40 more maps that explain the world.
The Post published yet another exceptional collection titled 25 maps and charts that explain America today.
Google has just created a special site for the Street Views they've done in remote and/or unusual sites, including Burj Khalifa, Iqaluit, Mt. Everest, the Grand Canyon, the Great Barrier Reef, the Amazon Basin and the Kennedy Space Center. More are on the way.
11 Overlay Maps That Will Change The Way You See The World is from Business Insider.
'Doing' Geography Instead Of 'Studying' It is a post at my Education Week Teacher blog.
In it, four educators share their thoughts on teaching geography: Kelly Young, from whom I've learned more about teaching than from anyone else; Elisabeth Johnson, who is the best social studies teacher I've ever seen; middle school educator Lisa Butler; and Matt Podbury, who teaches Geography at an International School in France.
Travel By Drone has thousands of videos from around the world that have been made through the use of drones. They're searchable by geography through a search box, and they are also pins on a map.
Lesson Plan | Analyzing Maps to Better Understand Global Current Events and History is from The New York Times Learning Network.
Six maps that will make you rethink the world is from The Washington Post.
Let me know if you think I've missed any particularly good geography sites.

Keith Burton
Professor Burton on turning theory into practice
Meet Keith Burton
Associate Professor,
Psychology, Chair of Psychology and Interim Associate Dean in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
- B.A. in Psychology from Northwestern University
- Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Arizona
- I'm married and have the two most adorable children ever born to anybody anywhere. My mother thought her two kids were the most adorable ones ever born, but I now know that she was wrong.
Interesting Facts:
- I'm a St. Louis Cardinals fan and a Green Bay Packers fan. These geographically disparate teams became my favorites as a product of moving around a bit when I was a kid. I "discovered" baseball when I was in 3rd grade and living in Missouri, and I "discovered" football when I was in 5th grade and living in Wisconsin.
- My one and only brush with celebrity greatness came when I was in the 4th grade and my father took me to a car show in Rolla, Missouri. The car show's celebrity hostess was actress Donna Douglas, known best for her role as Elly May Clampett on "The Beverly Hillbillies." She evidently thought I was a sweet kid, as she gave me her autograph as well as a kiss on the cheek. For a 4th grader, that was a very impressive experience.
Learning philosophy:
- Learning is a collaborative process between the instructor and the student, and both must be actively engaged in deep processing of the course material. That can be accomplished in a variety of ways, but one such method that I feel is particularly effective is applying the concepts learned in the classroom to real-life problems or to the student's life experiences. I try to work such activities into all of my classes. For example, in my Psychology of Motivation course I have an assignment in which students are to take the motivational principles learned in class and apply them to effect some change in their lives – usually a change that the student has wanted to make for a long time but has been unable to accomplish. I've seen wonderful changes occur in the lives of students as a result of that project!
Research interests:
- My research focuses on psychophysiological aspects of emotion and its relationship to emotion regulation processes. I use electromyographic and skin conductance recording technology to do so.
Major project underway:
- One of my current studies examines the relationship between cyclical hormones in the menstrual cycle, PMS symptoms, emotion regulation and psychophysiological measures of emotional expression. I've done a variety of emotion psychophysiology studies in my time at UIS, and have always had undergraduate students working alongside me in the lab (which I love!).
Listen to Professor Burton on turning theory into practice:
Advice to prospective students:
- I have two pieces of advice for students: 1) sample a wide variety of courses, as this is the best way to get an idea of disciplines you may wish to pursue. And when doing so maintain an open mind – when I was an undergraduate I had no desire to learn about the brain and deliberately avoided courses on that topic. However, after graduating I got my first job as a research assistant in a neuroscience institute I discovered that avoiding those classes had been a big mistake! I discovered through that job that I loved neuropsychology and made it the focus of my graduate studies. 2) Get involved! Most departments have opportunities for students to collaborate with faculty on scholarly projects – take advantage of those opportunities whenever possible. Not only are these wonderful learning experiences, they are invaluable for those who wish to pursue a graduate education.
Best thing about UIS:
- Me! Just kidding – UIS has many wonderful features, but for a professor by far the best feature is the ability to teach in relatively small, intimate classroom settings that allow students and faculty to get to know each other. I know all of my students by name within the first month of a class – how many public university faculty can say the same? Coupling this feature with the fact that faculty also maintain active programs of scholarship makes UIS a unique place that can offer the best of both worlds to students.

Landry wasn't bad at all, I think Shump went more of a spoken word type feel. Cool though, thanks!
Did some more digging...thought this needed to be added.

"Last night, the Knicks held their annual Season Subscriber Forum at Capitale in Manhattan�s Lower East Side. The private event featured passed hors d�oeuvres, upscale stadium fare, an open bar, and a 45-minute Q&A session hosted by Scott Lasky. Specific details were not announced prior to the event, so attendees were pleasantly surprised when the guests of honor were finally announced: Jared Jeffries, Iman Shumpert, Landry Fields, Carmelo Anthony, Amar�e Stoudemire, and current talk-of-the-town, Jeremy Lin.
The trio of Lin, Fields, and Chandler were introduced under their new moniker, �The Smart Crew� (or as Lasky said from time-to-time, �The Smart Triangle�), and in unison, they each donned a matching pair of dark-framed �nerd� glasses. When asked how he gained membership in �Smart Crew,� Chandler�s response drew laughs from the audience. �Well, we�ve got Harvard, Stanford, and Dominguez [High School in Compton, California].�
Jared Jeffries kicked off the Q&A portion of the event with a comedic introduction of his teammates, giving Iman Shumpert the title of �Mr. Perfect Body,� revealing (jokingly) that �Landry�s uncle got him into Stanford,� ripping on Carmelo Anthony for eating �five bags of chips on every flight� (divulging his weakness for Cool Ranch Doritos in particular), and mocking Amar�e Stoudemire�s deep baritone voice (his �Shaq voice�).
The true highlight of the event was when the players were asked who was the best singer or rapper on the team. Anthony was quick to single out Fields and Shumpert (various videos featuring Shumpert�s rap have been circulating on YouTube for quite some time). At this point, the duo treated the audience to a mini-talent show with Fields busting out his own remix of Travie McCoy and Bruno Mars� �Billionaire� and Shumpert delivering a brief freestyle rap.
The incredible off-the-court chemistry between the five players was evident throughout the night, as they joked and recounted stories with each other. All of the players were quick to praise Stoudemire for being �the guy who started it all� � the guy who had the guts to embrace the challenge of bringing quality basketball back to New York City. They also praised Stoudemire for battling through the death of his brother, Hazell, which drew a standing ovation from his teammates and the entire audience.
When asked to describe the last three weeks, they gave credit to Jeremy Lin for invigorating the team and each spoke about how wild it has been to be a part of �Linsanity.� In his usual humble fashion, Lin deflected the praise and gave the audience an account of how each of his teammates has contributed to his rise. He credited Jeffries for �[b]eing a big brother � taking me out to eat, even before I was getting minutes, and always making sure the young guys have someone to hang out with on the road.� He referred to Fields as his closest friend on the team and thanked him for being there to �talk about life.� He referred to Anthony as his most vocal mentor. �He�s been in my ear, giving me advice during every practice, every time out.�
In response to Lin, Chandler gave a humorous account of his first time meeting Lin � a story which could not more accurately portray the unlikelihood of Lin�s rise over the last three weeks. At a Bay Area hotel, shortly before Lin�s first game with the Knicks, Chandler walked out of his hotel room as Lin was walking out of a room directly across the hall. When Lin greeted him in the hall, Chandler gave his standard �fan reply� � he waived hello and quickly walked away. Accordingly to Chandler, Lin caught up to him and introduced himself again. �Hey, Tyson. I�m Jeremy, your new teammate.� Chandler � admittedly a bit shocked and unimpressed � responded, �Oh, hey. It�s nice to meet you,� and quickly walked away again.
The event was a chance for the players to thank season ticket holders and display the more personal, off-the-court sides of their personalities. Those in attendance got more than they could have asked for � the players were funny, endearing, and sentimental. Most importantly, they appear to have wonderful team chemistry and they convincingly expressed their commitment to winning."
No homo Landry got a good voice..
Haha, wait to you hear Imans album...the colab he has with Landry (and others) are pretty good.
LOL look at Shumps face once Landry starts singing..haha priceless.
honestly shump isn't that terrible considering he doesn't take this stuff seriously and landry is actually pretty talented :O

This sounds interesting. I love YR's Voile d'Ambre, non-gourmand vanillas and Jacques Cavallier's work at YSL - can't wait!
Thread: Yves Rocher Vanille Noire
From nstperfume.com:
Yves Rocher will launch Vanille Noire, a new fragrance for women in the the Secrets dEssences collection (see Voile dAmbre, Rose Absolue, Iris Noir, Tendre Jasmin).
Vanille Noire was developed by perfumer Jacques Cavallier, who has focused on the sensual aspects of vanilla rather than the gourmand angle. The notes include mandarin, mimosa, cedar and three varieties of vanilla.
Yves Rocher Vanille Noire will launch in September, and will be available in 30 and 50 ml Eau de Parfum and 10 ml rollerball. Matching body products will also be sold.
Please feel free to check out my Swap Thread - Patou pour Homme, L'Instant de Guerlain PH Extreme, Dior Homme Intense, Pure Malt, Pure Coffee and many more! Click Here For My Swap Thread
This sounds interesting. I love YR's Voile d'Ambre, non-gourmand vanillas and Jacques Cavallier's work at YSL - can't wait!
Thanks Joe - one more to look forward to. Still wish they hadn't discontinued the Gardenia Pur Desir though.
Petty small minded people have no place in my life.
This one I will buy blind - hope it will be available here in Norway once they launch it, too!
Everything passes. Everything changes. Just do what you think you should do.
--Bob Dylan
I will try this. Voile d'Ambre opens with mandarin, too, and it's great!
One plus for me to buy this one
My sale thread :http://www.basenotes.net/search.php?searchid=2281122
"There are people of spirit and there are people of passion but much less common that one might think. Rarer still are the people of passion and spirit. But rarest of all is a passionate spirit."
-- Martin Buber
This sounds promising. The only Yves Rocher I have tried is Neonatura Cocoon and that's wonderful. It smells way more expensive than it is.
Has anyone tried VN, and if so, what is it comparable to? I prefer vanillas less on the gourmand side, so this definitely sounds promising. Of course, it's a relatively inexpensive blind buy, but I'd still love to hear about your experiences.
For sale: JL Scherrer parfum (reduced price) and more!
"One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other." ~ Jane Austen
Pleasure is the flower that passes; remembrance, the lasting perfume ~ Jean de Boufflers
Yes, I'd like to hear back from the first person who tries it here, too. It sounds interesting.
I hope whoever springs to buy one would be up for a sample swap-I am not going to do blind buys anymore...I love a natural and well-balanced vanilla, but I am not satisfied with everything I've smelled from Yves Rocher, and I like to wait and buy used perfumes...
This sounds great! I like my vanillas balanced, with both foody and flower aspects, so this one may be a vanilla that i could add to my collection...

Baseball Splits Series with Michigan, Falls 4-2 in Finale
Box Score
Late runs were enough to lift Michigan to a 4-2 victory over the Princeton baseball team Sunday to split the season series in Port St. Lucie, Fla. With the loss the Tigers drop to 2-5, while the Wolverines improve to 6-10-1.
After five scoreless innings the Tigers were first to get on the board, capitalizing on a hit, two walks and two errors. With runners on the corners, Paul Tupper sent home the game-opening RBI single. Nick Hernandez followed and made it a 2-0 game, as he recorded an RBI and reached on the second error of the inning.
The Wolverines responded quickly, knotting things up 2-2 off two hits and two walks of their own in the bottom half of the sixth.
Princeton's offense was unable to pick up momentum again and was limited to only one hit over the final three frames, while Michigan added two more runs in the seventh off another two-hit inning.
Catcher Andres Larramendi led the offense going 2-for-4, as the Tigers finished with four hits to Michigan's eight.
Princeton closes out its season-opening road swing with its annual spring break trip through the Mid-Atlantic from Mar. 15-23.

Reviews for Southwestern Taco Casserole
"This is awesome. It deserves 5 star+ I used 13 x 9 pan to hold All ingredientsAll asked for recipe"
"Delicious! I added 1/2 large onion and a can of tomatoes. Also used low salt Taco seasoning seasoning. We loved it."
"I loved this recipe. Next time I might add some green chilies in and also like other cooks I will add garlic and onions in the the mixture. I also used ground turkey."
"It looked very nice, was easy so make, but neither my husband nor I could eat it. The "biscuit" topping was way too thick - more like a cornbread. The taco seasoning that come from packet always leaves something to be desired and add blank kidney beans and it is not tasty at all. Perhaps if you like packet seasoning you might like this."
"Very easy to make and my family loved it!! Will defiantly make it again!!"

ZF-5370: Automatically set form encoding on upload
When using the file element, the encoding of the form should automatically be set to 'multipart' to prevent unintentionally broken form uploads.
This will be difficult to accomplish, as the form object is not injected into individual elements. Additionally, we will not allow any code in Zend_Form that is specific to a given type of element.
Matthew, I know this. This is just a reminder for me to see if there is a way.
You know that I will first ask you when there is a solution which is not strictly part of the file element before implementation.
Under code review since 29.Jan.2009
Thomas -- I have a patch in the incubator that accomplishes this; it was an issue of order-of-operations. Tests for ZF-5370 now all pass; feel free to apply to trunk.

Rated 1 out of 5�by regretting Broke the first time it was used Bought this for my 6yr old nephew. The very first time he used it the bat splintered. A $40 bat rendered useless on its first outing by a 6yr old. May 9, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by Dodgermom Wood bat Our little Leaguer loves this bat. Its the right weight and length for our 9 year old who requested a wooden bat. March 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by bdg329 Good bat for 9 year old My 9 year old played in a wood bat tournament and thought the bat was great. He hit the ball well and so did the other kids on his team who used the bat. The bat made it through the tournament without breaking, which was something I was worried about. I would recommend bat tape for the handle, as it made the bat easier to grip. December 18, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5�by byrank2002 good bat, not so good price Like the bat. Weight distribution is good for youth. My 10 yr old loves it. Paid $35. Found out another kid purchased it at another retailer for $25. July 30, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by Coach Grandpa IT BROKE QUICKLY!!! My 11 year old Grandson wanted to try a wooden bat and he loved the look and feel of this Rawlings VELO Ash Wood Youth Bat. I guess the "feel" was a bit too light because the bat shattered before he had 10 swings with it. He had even used his own money (an award from 5th grade graduation) to buy it. Oh well......

Rated 4 out of 5�by Nater Grandson likes it !!!!!!!!!!!!! Great item for my grandson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!bcobhhghjf May 20, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5�by twigs bat has changed This was a great bat for my 6th grader to start playing middle school ball as it is a BBCOR or wood bat only league. The first one we purchased had a nice sweet spot and served him well for several games. Of course it broke because you can't have a -7.5 bat that is going to be super strong. Breaking these is just the price you pay for having a lightweight bat. As we replaced the bat, however, the new one came and was designed differently. The sweet spot was drastically reduced and the bat was much thinner. Maybe this was to increase its strength? Anyway, we returned it as it looked more like a toothpick than a bat. We bit the bullet and went with a 30" BBCOR aluminum and just swung harder. May 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by jerdog78 Good bat Good bat with a smooth swing.great in the cage to improve your hitting. May 7, 2014

An elementary school teacher has been jailed for 40 years for having sex with a 14-year-old student.
Shannon Alicia Schmieder, 39, was told she will have to serve 20 years – by far the toughest sentence ever handed out by a U.S. court to an educator accused of underage sex.
img code photo … Shannon Alicia Schmieder
Shannon Alicia Schmieder was 38 when she was arrested for having an affair with a boy of 14. She has been sentenced to 40 years
Legal experts said the jail term was the same for manslaughter and other serious crimes.
The 39-year-old knew the boy since he was born and was at one stage like a mother-figure to him, according to his family.
His mother said: 'She was a close family friend. We had gone to the same church together for 10 years.
Our children were friends. Our families were friends. We did everything together. It's impossible to describe how we felt to find out this was going on.'
The victim's parents noticed a change in the relationship between their then 13-year-old son and Schmieder, saying she was acting more like a friend than a parental figure.
It was when they opened the boys Facebook page they realized something was wrong.
The mother said: 'Never in a million years did I think I would find what I thought was evidence of inappropriate behavior between them. But there it was.'
The sentence was handed out after the mother of his young victim spoke of her 'heartache and betrayal' after discovering her son was involved with Schmieder.
In an emotional impact statement to the court, the mother spoke of the loss of innocence of her son and how she is struggling to come to terms with what happened to him.
The mother said: 'As a mother of five boys, there are some things I've thought I would never have to worry about. April of last year our world was turned upside down.
'We were told by investigators that our 14-year-old was a victim of child molestation. This was horrifying and unbelievable. I prayed that this was not true.
…Teacher's 'four-month affair with her student, 17, revealed when they were caught having sex in a school bathroom'
…Girl, 15, finds out parents are swingers when she turns on TV and sees mother in cage and father as Batman in sex show
'The more evidence that came out the truth became real, and I began to deal with grief, denial, guilt and so many other emotions.
'During this time I still was trying to maintain being a wife and mother. How could I have missed this… what mother can't protect her child? I trusted so much and believed that this friend was a gift from God.
'Words can't begin to explain the heartache we've experienced this past year and the betrayal we've endured. Messages that were recovered showed me more and more evidence and it became a living nightmare. I couldn't bear the thought of my boy trusting someone that had clearly manipulated him.'
'We believe that children deserve to be protected. This woman groomed and enticed a young boy she knew from birth to engage in these sexual acts. I crafted the sentence to take these things into account'
Assistant DA Kevin McMurry
Coweta Superior Court Judge Jack Kirby imposed the sentence on the recommendation of the DA's office.
Coweta Judicial Circuit Senior Assistant District Kevin McMurry said of the harsh penalty: 'The state of Georgia has very strict sentences against child molestation. When I was negotiating this sentence, I treated her like I would a male perpetrator.
'We believe that children deserve to be protected. This woman groomed and enticed a young boy she knew from birth to engage in these sexual acts. I crafted the sentence to take these things into account.
'We want to send a message that this will not be tolerated. I actually reduced the charge from aggravated child molestation – which carries a maximum sentence of 25 years – to child molestation – with a maximum of 20 years – but wanted to ensure she would still receive a harsh sentence which recognized the life-long impact and damage done to this child.
'Children are important and they deserve to be protected. She abused her position and the trust bestowed on her from the family and she had to be punished for this.'

The victim's mother said her son had trust issues as a result of the affair.
She said: 'We've all been in counseling for several months and we've been made aware of so many others that are victims of child molestation and sexual abuse.
'We were forced to realize that role models of our community like preachers, teachers, scout leaders, coaches, and even mothers that you love and trust, and have known for years, and you would believe would never hurt your child could be a sex offender. This is physically and emotionally hard to accept.'
In a final address to the judge Jack Kirby before he imposed the sentence, she added: 'We are continuing to hurt. We will struggle in fully trusting again and we will never understand the betrayal… and still today the dishonesty.'
Schmieder worked as a teacher's assistant at Jefferson Parkway Elementary school in Coweta County, Georgia.
'We are continuing to hurt. We will struggle in fully trusting again and we will never understand the betrayal… and still today the dishonesty'
Victim's mother
She pleaded guilty to two charges of child molestation following her arrest last April.
The parents of her victim, who was not a pupil at her school, found out about the affair when the discovered a series of explicit messages on his computer.
After alerting police a forensic examination of the boy's home computer revealed Schmieder was involved in a sexual relationship.
She was arrested and charged following an interview with detectives.
Schmieder's case – though unique because of its harsh sentence – is by no means a rare incident.
There have been countless reports of female teachers in schools across America abusing their relationship with male students and engaging in sexual relations with them.
Leading child psychologist, Dr Michael Oberschneider, who sees both teenagers who have been sexually abused and the adults who sexually abuse, said having sex with older women, especially women in a position of power is a badge of honour for some boys and their peers.
'There is a certain mystique around the older woman in our society,' he added. 'If it was a man (who is abusing) in our society we are harsher, but when it's a woman we kind of wonder about it.
'It's still a horrible thing, but I think there is also a little bit of unconscious permission in society. It seems to be not quite as bad when an older woman does something with a younger boy.'
Dr Oberschneider is not connected with the Schmieder case.

Wow! this is an old WW2 (the war to end all wars) field telephone!
A real Museum piece, Signal Corps U.S.Army ?
Generator crank operates the telephone to get it started and also charges the lead acid battery , and a line is strung though the battle lines to connect the system, not a job I would want!
I wish to listen to it and hear it tell me stories …. Imagine.

ZF-4191: Zend_View_Helper_FormRadio generates improper id attributes for certain values
{quote} $form = new Zend_Form(); $form->addElement('radio', 'myName', array( 'value' => '-1', 'multiOptions' => array( 'inherit' => 'inherit', -1 => 'reset', 1 => 'allow', 0 => 'deny', ), )); $form->populate(array('myName' => 'inherit')); echo $form; {quote}
Generated xhtml:
deny {quote}
has two elements with same id "myName-1" (options "-1" and "1"). Also "0 => 'deny'" option is selected, but I have populated form with "'myName' => 'inherit'". Also "0 => 'deny'" option will be selected by default, but I set default "'value' => '-1'".
Patch to fix the issue. The problem was that dashes were filtered from the id through the use of the alnum filter. In the patch a regex is used to allow both alphanumeric characters and dashes.
Is there any chance of getting this fixed or adding the patch to trunk?
Tidied suggested fix and added more thorough unit test
Fixed in trunk r24059
I've hesitated to merge this into release as it may cause a BC break for those who reference their {{Zend_Form}} elements by id from a view script. Thoughts?
I would patch this.
Merged to release-1.11 in r24160

|Women's Hockey Upended at Quinnipiac, 4-0
HAMDEN, Conn. (12/8/12) - A three-goal second period lifted the Quinnipiac women's hockey team to a 4-0 win over Princeton on Saturday, Dec. 8 at TD Bank Sports Center.
Princeton netminder Kimberly Newell stopped 15 shots in the first period, as the Tigers were outshot 15-5.
The Bobcats finally broke Newell at 3:41 of the second when Kelly Babstock found Nicole Brown for the goal. Quinnipiac capitalized on its third power-play opportunity at 18:24 when Erica Uden Johansson put away a pass from Nicole Kosta, with Regan Boulton. Babstock scored her league-leading 20th goal, unassisted with just 17 seconds remaining in the second period.
Brittany Lyons sealed the win with a goal from Nicole Connery at 19:34 of the final period.
Newell finished the game with 44 saves, the second most in her career. Victoria Vigilante made 21 saves in the win for Quinnipiac.
Quinnipiac outshot Princeton 48-21 and improved to 12-7-2 overall and 8-3-1 in the league. Princeton falls to 5-9-2 overall and 2-8-2 in the ECAC.
The Tigers will take a three-week break and will resume play on Jan. 2 & 3 with a series at Connecticut. Head coach Jeff Kampersal and Newell will be absent on the trip, as both will be in Finland for the U18 World Championships.
