Spice & Wood – an it lasts 8 hours or even more on my skin.
Osswald Zurich expecting it end of june… hopefully
At the Exsense show end of March in milan he spoke from May. To date, I have, however, nowhere seen it. I think that it needs a little more patience...
Well, these two fragrances are hardly comparable. Taklamakan is less oriental-spicy, but more balsamic-woody. Spices play, if at all, a minor role.
Yes, I did. He told me the whole story about the desert Taklamakan and his emotions about creating the scent. He is truly a nice guy and a great perfumer, in my opinion.
Tried it at Esxence Milano. For me the discovery of the show. It is beautiful, some sweetness, spices and vanilla, smoky at the beginning, after a few hours with remarkable patchouly heart, but still...
Exactly my thoughts.
Very much light indeed. It lasts about two hours, which is a shame, as I like it very much.
They presented three new scents at Pitti Fragranze, two in arabic style and one absolutely stunning, warm and lovely «Come il sole». High quality like always.
My thoughts exactly. So let's look back in a year … Until then: To each his own taste.
Patou pour Homme Prive
Patou pour Homme
Les Larmes Sacrées de Thèbes
So do I.
Perfect on me. Longevity 12 hours, projection moderate to heavy.
I am blown away by this. For me it is the prototype of a whiskey perfume, smoky as a whiskey barrel, spicy, slightly sweet. Starts quite strong and develops into a woody, subtle club-scent. I am...
Yes indeed, spirit of the glen by d.s. & durga uses fantastic notes. Love it.
X, V, and 1872.
Sugi Monocle Scent Three Comme des Garcons
Straight to Heaven
A wonderful perfume - extremely well composed, harmonically blended with a rich smelling. Elegant, sophisticated and long lasting. It's more for the evening, but quite versatile. Meanwhile, there are...
Sugi, no doubt about it. Sugi is more sophisticated and works good eight hours on me.
True words, nothing to add.
Yes exactly. I purchased it from their webite and after three days it arrived. Since then I have never used it again. Maybe I should.
I have tried it a few times. Pepper and woods dominate. Find it ok, but neither something new nor special. The longevity is rather weak on me, as is the projection.
My wife and I share a bottle. She uses it more than I do, but I wear it from time to time also with pleasure. It is unisex i would say.
The opening of Sugi is indeed surprising with the Gin aura. But I'm really enthusiastic from the moment when the woody notes kick in, after about 30 minutes. Then Sugi becomes a wonderfully elegant...
I have found a similarity. In each phase, it reminds me of the original fragrance.
Comme des Garçons Monocle Scent 3: Sugi
CEDRAT BOISE Mancera
Recently i visited a Stefano Ricci designer Store and realized that there are three new perfumes available. The line is called «Royal Eagle» and I was impressed by «Gold» of this line: Luxurious...
Molecule 01? Too perfect for this world? Heavenly? The best in the house? Wow, can't wait for the sample on its way.
Jardin d'Amalfi
Spice and Wood
I wear it mostly for special occasions, like an exclusive gala dinner or a wedding – and when I want to feel elegant and royal. Office? No problem, it is versatile enough. But it deserves rather a...
No, there's nothing like it in my opinion. Les larmes sacrées de Thèbes is as unique as stunning beautiful. Bought it at Roja Dove's Haute Perfumery at Harrods a few years ago. I love it so much....
Indeed a very nice, soft leather. Still have two bottles left from the first release and wear it for special evening events.
Creed Spice and Wood
Have it, smell it every time I use it, like it – and it works magically.
Angelique sous la pluie - Frederic Malle
Wise words.
Smelled this yesterday form a sample and I agree with the resemblance to aventus. I should test them side by side.
Well, I think it's a rather old style citrus fragrance, which doesn't mean it's bad at all. I bought it a few years ago and rarely use it. Should try it again.
Les Larmes Sacrées de Thèbes. Had to do that – it's such a beauty.
It's worth to try this line. I like J'ai Fait Un Rêve Pour Lui (formerly Songe pour Lui), which is very comforting with just enough sweetness. Quite spicy at the beginning, woods, saffron and...
Windsor, Jardin d'Amalfi, Spice and Wood, Silver Mountain Water, Millesime Imperial
On top:
jardin d'amalfi
spice and wood
Millesime Imperial
Silver Mountain Water
... and the real champion:
Amber Oud by Kilian
Devil in disguise Mark Buxton
Fantastic scent, no doubt. And perfectly unisex. My wife loves it as well as my son.
So do I. Noir has something of TF Extreme and Dior Homme Intense and a good projection. On me it lasts 12 hours or more. Perfect for cooler days. Might become a winner.
Cuir noir - a beauty of a perfectly balanced leather, oud, wood scent with some spices and benzoin. Just wonderful.
Creed Jardin d'Amalfi
Windsor Creed
Very well described, hedonist. I am very impressed too. And I love the woody notes becoming stronger over time.
L'Eau Chic de Nicolai
Le Pamplemousse Miller Harris - very citric, very Grapefruit, very woody based on Vetiver, very elegant - a winner for me!
Reminds me of Nasomatto's Pardon. Less dense, like it!
Creed Jardin d'Amalfi
Amber oud
and many more
Amber oud
and many more
Spice and wood
Silver Mountain Water and Millesime Imperial
Agree with Opus 1870.
Indeed. Actually a very subtle scent, starting with oud and soft leather, becoming a bit smoky in the heart. The base is sweet and creamy with vanilla and benzoin. I like it a lot, but it's quite...
This, and Straight to Heaven by Kilian.
Undoubtedly Windsor. A scent in a class of its own: highly sophisticated, outstanding quality and and extraordinarily good smelling. The single most important discovery for me in 2011.
I layer it from time to time with Asrar Attar. It's a perfect mix for me.
New: Indochine PG
Discovery: Creed Windsor + Jardin d'Amalfi
Indochine Parfumerie Générale
My thoughts as well. To handle with care, two sprays may be almost too much.
My opinion: not much resemblance to LIDGE. Both have their own personality and both are good. I prefer Pardon due to it's stronger manly character. Or in a woman's words, written in a german blog:...
Xerjoff Uden
Bottega Veneta
Nasomatto's Pardon and even more Duro
Amouage Dia
Amouage Homage
Xerjoff Uden
Indult Reve en cuir
Mark Buxton Nameless
Dior Homme Intense
and a few others more.
Chanel Allure Homme Blanche
Le Labo Vanille 44 is quite refreshing, with a a hint of mandarin.
You guys are so funny!
Who is bathing the dog in the scent and let him shake out the fur from 1 foot in front of you while sitting cross-legged on the floor?
Bottega Veneta
Ulrich Lang's Nightscape
Roja Dove at Harrods. Ask for "Les Larmes Sacrees de Thebes". It's very exclusiv and very worth a sniff.
Go for Dior homme Intense. It's good for both of you, extremely sophisticated and well balanced. Definitly on the younger side than L'Instant EDP, which is also a marvelous scent.
1 Reve en Cuir by Indult
1 Patou pour Homme
1 Patou pour Homme Privé
and soon 1 Dior Homme Intense (Vintage...)
Purchased D600 some time ago. I like it, reminds me slightly of Dior Homme Intense in some stages of the drydown, but with less projection.
Smelled it in Milano at esxence and was impressed. I remember a Duro-vibe with oud. Can't wait to sample it again. Hope it will be released this month.
Still calculating...
The new one, 34 Blvd. Saint Germain. It's really a nice one.
"Songe pour lui" by Lilly de rêve (this is so great!)
"Homage" by Amouage
"Les Larmes Sacrées de Thèbes" by Baccarat (Roja Dove Haute Parfumerie)
Les Larmes Sacrées de Thebes, Baccarat
Homage, Amouage
Indult «Reve en Cuir»?
Millesime Imperial in my opinion.
Nothing to add at all...
Les Larmes Sacrées de Thebes (Baccarat). A purchase at Roja Dove.
1. Reve en Cuir, Indult
2. Les Larmes Sacrées de Thebes, Baccarat
3. Homage, Amouage
4. Uden, Xerjoff
5. Patou pour Homme Privé, Jean Patou
Micallef Celebration Man – just wonderful.
Completely agree - surprising, original and masculine indeed.
Ein ausgezeichneter Beitrag, gut geschrieben und informativ.
An excellent article, well researched. Rare nowadays.
Homage and Asrar, followed by Bahjah. Homage and Asrar blend perfectly together.
10 Corso Como Uomo - the closest in my opinion.
Dullah, I completely agree with all of your camparisons. For me pepper is the most dominating note. And there is probably another scent in the same manner: Aramis Impécable.
So try Aramis Impecable, I detect that certain something in the kind of Aventus, probably less deep, but more fresh.
Dullah, it's the new one you discovered. The first one opens also sideways but has an orange leather cage. And the scents are completely different.

David Archuleta: the Eagle, the temple and the music
"We had purchased the trees and had an area that needed to be planted, but didn't have the time or employees to do the job," said Kim Sorensen, Murray's Parks and Recreation director. "David did a good job of organizing it, and it was done quickly. We were also able to keep it low key. It was neat to see."
Although he earned his Eagle, he didn't receive the award for another two years because of his tours and travels. Madsen didn't want to just hand Archuleta the award. He only needed 15 minutes and a gathering of family and friends. One day last December, Madsen saw Archuleta throwing snowballs with his family outside their house. The veteran Scout leader asked if Archuleta had 15 minutes to receive his Eagle. Archuleta said he was about to attend rehearsal for the Christmas concert, but could do it later that day, and so he did, with about 20 family members present.
"It was totally the influence of a good leader," Archuleta said. "Cal has probably helped many scouts get their Eagle, guys who wouldn't have gotten it otherwise. They just needed someone to believe in them, just a little push. He is a great neighbor."
The dark-haired singer talked about a myriad of other topics during his 25-minute interview with the Deseret News.
Archuleta, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, recently went through the Jordan River Utah Temple. He has a goal to attend the temple often.
"It was very special," he said. "It gave me a new perspective on life."
When asked if he would ever audition for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Archuleta said he questioned his sight-reading skills.
"Oh, man. My problem is I'm not good at reading music. That is really important when you are in the choir," he said. "But it was amazing to sing with them."
Archuleta said he fell in love with music at age 6 when he first heard "At the End of the Day," a song in the "Les Miserables" score.
"Hearing the melody, the way they sang and performed it, it was amazing and I couldn't get enough of it, couldn't stop watching it," Archuleta said. "It was very influential to me and introduced me to a love of music."
When he is driving alone in the Ford Hybrid he won on "American Idol," he likes to sing along with golden oldies, Christmas music and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
The last time he sang in an LDS Church building was last month when he spoke at a fireside for some military families and members of the church in Okinawa, Japan.
Archuleta loves Thai food, especially the fresh curry and coconut ice cream at Simply Thai in Sandy.
If asked to participate on "Dancing with the Stars," he would "probably perform really bad. Maybe if I had a good trainer," he said, "It would be interesting."
Though audiences may never know it, but Archuleta still gets terrified on stage, he explained. He recalled saying a little prayer for courage at age 10 to force himself out on a stage.
"You have to realize that feeling is going to exist and you have to work through it anyway," he said. "It's not a matter of that feeling going away, it's a matter of getting past that feeling. You have to learn and discipline yourself."
When people learn he's from Utah, the next question is usually about the LDS Church. "It's the first thing they ask," Archuleta said. "It's cool when people notice that you make an effort to live certain values."
When given the opportunity, Archuleta encourages people to develop their musical talents. He also likes to challenge LDS youth to discover the power of good music.
"What I've learned is that music affects the way you feel," he said. "A song can change someone's life."

"Small Commerical Center" Oyugis by glabah
Oyugis Travel Guide: 4 reviews and 39 photos
Not much exists in Oyugis that would be of interest to most travelers. It is a very active commercial center for the surrounding farm and forest lands, and Lake Victoria is nearby.
The community has been one of the hardest hit due to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and a very large portion of the children here are orphans due to the loss of both parents. There are a number of different sources out there that discuss the effect of this epidemic on this community, so further research on that may be warrented. At least one source says it is one of the worst in Africa in terms of the number of HIV/AIDS orphans.
This gives a fairly bleak impression of the community, and the unfortunate reality is not far from that impression. This reality first strikes a visitor when they pass through this community of only about 50,000 people and see the sheer number of coffin stores.
The main street through town is paved, and is a fairly important highway for the region. During certain days of the week, the open areas along this road through the central area of Oyugis are turned into an extremely busy open market. Many of the items sold are foods and animals, but you will also find some local crafts that could be of interest. If you decide to make a purchase, get ready to fend off the huge horde of vendors that will gather to try to get you to purchase everything else imaginable.
The countryside around the community is quite attractive, and from some of the hills it is possible to see parts of Lake Victoria.
The region surrounding Oyugis is mostly hilly farmland. The roads are mostly dirt, and most people walk in order to get from place to place. You will find that bundles of all sizes and shapes are carried on heads, on bicycle, and in any other manner you can imagine.
People here generally do not see white people. Throughout the entire visit here, it was not unusual at all for children to come out of houses nearby yelling "Muzungu! Muzungu!" That is to say, "White Person! White Person!" In almost all cases, this was not a matter of hostility, but more a matter that so few of the children had ever seen a white person before that they wanted all their freinds in the surrounding countryside to know we were here as well.

PS4 mentioned on resume of SCEA software engineer
In other resume news today, a manager of software engineering at SCEA, has apparently been working on the "voice chat library for PlayStation 4." The LinkedIn profile was dug up by Superannuation, who is apparently on a role today. It could be a typo. It could not. Prior work on Sony systems include: audio input and output libraries for PlayStation 3, developed voice chat libraries for PlayStation Vita, and investigated new audio technologies. Sony has yet to announce a PS3 follow up, but it's been rumored for ages as being in development under the codenamed Orbis.

1997 Subaru Legacy L 4dr Wagon AWD
I bought this car from my grandma when she was no longer able to drive. It has been a wonderful car. The only problem I have had with the breaks, the whole car seems to shimmy when I come to a stop from a high rate of speed, like coming off the interstate. My previous car was a SAAB, and going from driving that to my little Subaru feels like I am driving a tin foil car, and it seems so low to the ground. I don't feel very safe driving it. I have checked the safety ratings and it came out very high, so it's a personal issue. If I didn't get such a great deal on this car from my grandma I would have never bought it, but it has been a great car for me, and it always starts when I need it too.
Large cargo area
Gas mileage
I've dreamed of owning an Outback ever since I was 13. The vehicle was everything I expected it to be. Great with every driving condition (dry, rain, ice, snow). Great interior room and ride. I'm seriously considering buying another newer model of the Outback.
AWD. Good MPG (for an AWD). Ride quality. Reliability with good maintenance. Drive terrain capability. Speedy acceleration.
Interior design (especially climate controls, bulb burned out and can't see at night). Noticeable road noise. Head gasket problems at 100K. Engine fumes seep into interior. Gas gauge fails to give good reading (estimation w/ trip). Better brakes (wear too easily). Transmission jerky.
Our '97 Legacy wagon has been a joy to own - reliable and fun to drive. The all-wheel drive gives confidence during the crappy Northeast winters. Plus the car is pretty roomy. Our only complaint has been with the gas mileage, 22-23 around town and 27 on the highway. But lots of cars have bad mileage.
The car has been excellent overall. It has been reliable, the finish and other exterior pieces have held up well in Hawaii's marine environment, and the handling, while not "sporty", is just fine. The car's only weak point is the drive train for the front wheels. There seems to be a design flaw there which has necessitated work on a couple of occasions.
My '97 Subaru served me well right up
till last week when, while taking a
left on a green light, I got hit head
on by a van going 55mph. Despite being
flung across 3 lanes and having the car
totaled, I was able to walk away with
little more than a bruise on the knee.
At 82000 miles, the car never had any
maintenance issues: very reliable and
useful with the rear of the wagon being
used from everything from a diaper
changing table to hauling cargo from
Home Depot. Moreover, the designers at
Subaru did an excellent job in safety:
between the forward crumple zones,
rigid safety cage, and airbags, I can
quite literally say that the Subaru
saved my life. We'
Comfortable seat, AWD, handling, cargo
room, safety, safety, and safety!
Standard side curtain airbags: but
Subaru has already done that in the
new '05s.

Date is not in correct format.
There's much more to Paris's iconic Eiffel Tower than meets the eye. This fascinating tour goes backstage to reveal the inner workings of one of the world's greatest monuments.
Accompanied by an expert guide, you will visit the old military bunker under the Champ de Mars. You will also see the original engine room that still controls the lifts. As you look around these hidden places, your guide will tell you fascinating stories and facts about the Tower – the construction challenges, the criticisms and the controversies.
Then skip the lines to whizz up to the second floor for eye-popping 360° Paris panoramas. Make sure you have your camera to capture images from this tour-with-a-difference.
This tour is extremely popular and advance booking is highly recommended. Should the tour not be available on your chosen date, we have an alternative which also includes a Free Seine River Cruise, click here for more details>>

See on map
Ending point
The tour ends on the second floor of the Eiffel Tower
Get the inside story of Paris's most famous monument on the Behind The Scenes At The Eiffel Tower tour. To join the group you should meet your guide under the North Pillar of the Eiffel Tower, in front of the statue of Gustave Eiffel.
The elegant iron-lattice Tower, standing 324 meters (1,063 ft) tall, was built for the World Fair of 1889, held to commemorate the centenary of the French Revolution. The visionary genius behind this ground-breaking structure was Gustave Eiffel, who won a competition challenging entrants to submit proposals to raise an iron tower on the Champ de Mars.
Gustave Eiffel's bold design was chosen from 107 other projects and the work took 2 years, 2 months and 5 days to complete. The concept was a radical one for the 1880s and the Tower attracted much criticism and controversy. Among the revolutionary features for the time were the lifts allowing visitors to access the floors of the monument.
Accompanied by a guide, who will recount numerous anecdotes throughout the visit, go behind the scenes of this staggering monument. You will first visit the former bunker hidden under the Champ de Mars and hear about the history of the Tower and its importance as a communications tower.
After this the tour gives you 'Skip The Line Access' to enter the Eiffel Tower. There may however be a short wait for the lift. Before ascending to the second floor you will enjoy a true privilege. Slip backstage to see the original engine room which still controls the elevators!
Arriving at the second floor, you will be greeted by even more magnificent views. As a VIP, you ascend the roof of the prestigious restaurant 'Le Jules Verne' to discover a breath-taking 360° panorama of Paris.
The tour ends at the second level of the Eiffel Tower. You can stay here after the excursion ends. If you wish, you can take the elevator to the top floor. (The extra charge for this is approx. €14)
The weather was terrible-rain, snow, lightening. But the tour went on and we had a great time.
We were met on time at the arranged point. Tour guide was friendly, humorous and knowledgeable.
What a great tour, well done and informative. Only complaint they leave you at the top, I understand some people want to stay up there, but if you want to go down, you should have a way without standing in line for 20 min
so informative and fun!
Our guide was very informative and showed an interest in the group. He was able to answer a range of questions and pointed out all the famous land marks in Paris. Definitely recommend this tour.
High-heeled shoes are not allowed on this tour for security reasons.
Don't forget the camera!
Appropriate warm clothing is strongly advised during winter due to strong windy conditions.

PFE Mar Cap 179 billion..MRK Mar Cap 73 billion. PFE price $24.35 MRK price $33.40. MRK more legal battles coming. What is wrong with this picture. PFE should be trading at low $40's. I'm still holding till end of 06. If PFE can't pass MRK I'm going to pass on PFE.
uhm... then buy mrk?What's your loyalty to PFE? Stick it out, or get out and stop haunting this board and complaining.
Haunting...Loyalty...??? How long have you been in the market? Theres no room for loyalty we are here to make money!! PFE has to turn up the heat. I owned MRK then sold the day before the 1st judgement. Transfered to PFE because they had better product and cash flow. I'm sure they will turn it around and hoping they can do it by the end of the year..Thats all. If they don't I will move my money at that time and put it elsewhere. So just chill and let us make our opinions on the board.
There is only one logical conclusion. PFE must be a very poorly managed organization with very little credibility on Wall Street.
And MRK pays better divvy!!!

Grainger is a broad-line distributor of maintenance, repair and operating supplies, and other related products and services used by businesses and institutions. Grainger's operations are primarily in the United States and Canada, with an expanding presence in Europe, Asia and Latin America. Grainger uses a multichannel business model to provide customers with a range of options for finding and purchasing products utilizing sales representatives, catalogs and direct marketing materials and eCommerce. Grainger serves approximately 2.0 million customers worldwide through a network of highly integrated branches, distribution centers, multiple websites and export services.
Business Environment
Several economic factors and industry trends tend to shape Grainger's business environment. The overall economy and leading economic indicators provide insight into anticipated Company performance for the near term and help in forming the development of projections. Historically, Grainger's sales trends have tended to correlate with industrial production and non-farm payrolls. According to the Federal Reserve, overall industrial production increased 2.8% from September 2011 to September 2012. This improvement has positively affected Grainger's sales growth for the nine months of 2012.
In October 2012, Consensus Forecasts-USA projected 2012 Industrial Production growth of 4.0% and GDP growth of 2.1% for the United States. In addition, Consensus Forecasts-USA projected 2012 GDP growth of 2.0% for Canada.
The light and heavy manufacturing customer end-markets have historically correlated with manufacturing employment levels and manufacturing output. According to the Federal Reserve, manufacturing output increased 1.4% from September 2011 to September 2012. The United States Department of Labor reported an increase of 1.5% in manufacturing employment levels. Grainger's heavy and light manufacturing customer end-markets outperformed these indicators as sales to both of these customer end-markets increased in the high single digits in the third quarter of 2012. For the nine months of 2012, sales to heavy and light manufacturing customers increased in the low double digits and high single digits, respectively.
On October 16, 2012, Grainger revised the 2012 sales growth guidance to 11 to 12 percent. Grainger had previously provided guidance of sales growth of 12 to 14 percent. Earnings per share guidance remained unchanged at $10.50 to $10.80, which excludes the $0.66 per share for the $76.0 million pre-tax expense recorded for the expected resolution of government contract issues. See Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Gross profit margins for the last quarter of the year are expected to remain relatively consistent with the 2012 third quarter gross profit margins.
Matters Affecting Comparability
There were 63 and 64 sales days in the third quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively. Grainger completed several acquisitions throughout 2011 and 2012, all of which were immaterial individually and in the aggregate. Grainger's operating results have included the results of each business acquired since the respective acquisition dates. Operating expenses included a $76.0 million estimated liability for the expected resolution of government contract issues, as described in Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Results of Operations - Three Months Ended September 30, 2012 The following table is included as an aid to understanding the changes in Grainger's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings:

Young Adult Novel 18 Things by Jamie Ayres Released
"18 Things, a Young Adult Book Released by Cape Coral, FL Teacher"
When asked why she chose to write a book for young adults, she explained, "I can testify that stories made me a better person growing up. I've always lived in two worlds. One is the world where I actually live, and the other world I took up residence in is where characters made me believe I could go anywhere and be anything I wanted to be. They challenged me to get out of my hiding place and step out in faith, and to not give up so easily. That's the heart of 18 Things, and I want to share it with the next generation."
Book Blurb: Can eighteen things save a life? Olga Gay Worontzoff thinks her biggest problems are an awful name (after her grandmothers of course) and not attending prom with Conner, her best friend and secret crush since kindergarten.
Then Conner is killed in a freak boating accident and Olga feels responsible. When she downs an entire bottle of pills to deal with the emotional pain, her parents force her into counseling. There, her therapist writes a prescription in the form of a life list titled 18 Things. Eighteen quests to complete the year of her eighteenth birthday.
All she has to do is fire-walk, try out for the cheerleading squad, break a world record, and err . . . go on her first date. Good thing Nate, a new hottie in town, enters her life with perfect timing. He brings the fun factor to her list and helps her discover the beauty and strength inside herself, then complicates things by falling in love with her.
But there's more to Olga's quests than meets the eye and when her therapist reveals a terrifying secret, her world is shaken.
There's only one thing she knows for certain: her choices won't just affect her future, but all eternity.

Juveniles No Longer Subject to Solitary Confinement in Federal Prison
On Monday, President Obama announced an executive order banning solitary confinement for juvenile offenders.
On Monday, President Obama announced an executive order banning solitary confinement for juvenile offenders.
Last week, famed prison and civil rights activist Angela Davis spoke to an expanding social justice community in Miami, a city whose progressive movement is more active than its reputation might suggest.
On Wednesday, New York State correctional system announced an upcoming overhaul of their solitary confinement process. As one of the largest prison systems in America, this move could signal a trend for the rest of America, if shifts go according to plan.
In a continuation of President Barack Obama's effort to lessen penalties for nonviolent offenses, on July 13, he officially commuted the sentences of 46 people serving time for federal drug charges.
Soon, White House aides say, President Obama will sign into effect executive orders mitigating the sentences of at least 80 nonviolent drug offenders. Dozens will be freed as a result.
In many states, incarcerated women give birth while shackled to hospital beds, only to have their newborns taken away mere minutes after entering the world. The state of Indiana, however, is following the lead of six other states, including New York and Ohio, and investing in prison nursery programs. The Indiana…

The Fox Point Village Board tonight begrudgingly accepted its percentage of the North Shore Fire Department's budget as allotted in an amended NSFD funding formula which will be in effect for the next three years.
Trustees took action in July to add a three-year sunset clause to the formula so that Fox Point, as well as the other NSFD member communities, can renegotiate in 2015. The sunset clause was supported by the River Hills Village Board and was ultimately approved by the NSFD Board of Directors, though a decrease in Fox Point's percentage contribution - which trustees and Village President Michael West had expressed interest in - was not.
In the new funding formula Fox Point will contribute 10.31 percent of the NSFD budget annually, down from the 10.38 percent it had paid from 2008 through 2012. However, West and Fox Point trustees have taken issue with the new percentage, since it is more than the 9.31 percent Fox Point would be paying for the next three years, had the original NSFD funding formula in effect from 1995 through 2007 been used and the percentages not been frozen in 2008.
"If you think (the original) formula is fair, then these proposed numbers aren't really fair to Fox Point," said trustee F.R. Dengel.
West told trustees that using an NSFD subcommittee to come up with the altered formula hadn't worked in his estimation, and that he would campaign for negotiations between all the member communities and a new formula between now and 2015.
"I will be active, and it may be that this village board at some point needs to formally pass a resolution asking the (NSFD board) to bring the seven communities together at one place and one time to negotiate a new formula," West said.
The village board voted 5-1 to approve the funding formula, with trustee F.R. Dengel dissenting and trustee William Warner absent.

Amazon.com Review
Van gets pushed back and forth between the book's two lesser villains--his mean old cuss of a father, Martin Humphries, who's posted the $10 billion Venus Prize to the first person to return Alex's body, and Lars Fuchs, a belligerent asteroid miner and Martin's arch-nemesis, who's also decided to make a go at the purse.
Characterizations ride coach on this high-adventure flight, but remember that we're talking about Ben Bova here. It's hard to dispute the master's choices as you're following Van's well-researched, thrills-and-chills descent through Venus's pressure-cooker atmosphere. With solid science, a palatable environmental message (how could you resist commenting on greenhouse gases in a book like this?), and an inspiring character arc for unlikely hero Van, Venus delivers guilt-free, man-against-nature SF in a tight, page-turning package. --Paul Hughes

Hemigrapsus takanoi
|Hemigrapsus takanoi
|Frontal view of male, showing the large patches of setae on the claws
|Scientific classification
|H. takanoi
|Binomial name
|Hemigrapsus takanoi
Asakura & Watanabe, 2005[1]
Hemigrapsus takanoi, the brush-clawed shore crab or Asian shore crab, is a small crab of the family Varunidae (formerly classified as Grapsidae) that lives on rocky shores surrounding the Pacific Ocean, and which is invasive along the European coastlines. This crab is omnivorous and eats small fish, invertebrates and algae.
Prior to 2005, the name Hemigrapsus penicillatus was used to cover animals that are now known to represent two distinct species. Hemigrapsus penicillatus (sensu stricto) has smaller patches of setae (bristles) on the chelae (claws) in males; Hemigrapsus takanoi has larger setal patches and larger coloured spots on the exoskeleton.[2] It can be a variety of colors, including orange-brown, maroon, or green, with striped legs and spotted claws. Male brush-clawed shore crabs have a patch of light brown or yellow bristles (known as setae) on their chelae (pincers). Their carapace width typically reaches about 2.5 centimetres (1.0 in), and has three spines. Before developing into juvenile crabs, larval brush-clawed crabs spend almost one month floating in the ocean. This allows them to find food and new habitats.[3]
Hemigrapsus takanoi is native to Japan and China, although the limits of its distribution are still unclear.[2] H. takanoi has also been introduced to the coasts of Europe by human agency, and has become an invasive species there. Although originally reported as Hemigrapsus penicillatus, that species has since been divided into two species, and it is H. takanoi, not H. penicillatus which occurs on the coasts of Europe.[2] It is thought to have arrived in 1993, having been discovered in La Rochelle, France, in 1994. A study of hull fouling animals on ships in Hamburg Dockyard and Bremerhaven at the time found six specimens of H. takanoi on the car-carrying ship SPICA, which travelled between the Asian ports of Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe and Pusan, and Europe. The ship was known to have passed the French coast in 1993, and it is thought that the introduction is likely to have occurred when crabs fell from the hull of the SPICA at that time.[4]
By 1997, its range in Europe extended from Fromentine in France (adjacent to the Île de Noirmoutier) to Laredo, Spain, covering a coastline of 700 kilometres (430 mi) around the Bay of Biscay.[5] By 1999, it had reached Le Havre on the English Channel, and by 2005, it had reached the French Opal Coast at the entrance to the North Sea.[6] Predictions based on its native climate suggest that H. takanoi will spread across much of the North Sea and western parts of the Baltic Sea,[4] prediction confirmed in 2014 with the discovery of specimens along the German coastline.[7]

Lots of Banks Share in Asian Bond Sales
Asia's fast-growing bond market is getting crowded with bankers.
Companies now hire an average of 4.3 banks each time they issue debt, the most on record and up from 2.8 a year ago, according to data provider Dealogic, which analyzed sales in the region excluding Japan.
A surge in Asian bond issuance means banks are earning more from selling debt than from equity sales or from advising on acquisitions. But revenue from debt sales could come under pressure as more banks share in the fees or if bond sales slow down.
"Revenue per deal per bookrunner is shrinking. So from a pure investment-banking perspective, it doesn't pay off," said Standard Chartered STAN -3.89 % PLC's global head of capital markets Carsten Stoehr. He said that the U.K.-based lender seeks to provide a wide range of services to clients but, "if you have a big team and make fees solely out of bond deals, and that's all you're doing, it's probably not a robust business model."
Earlier this month, a $3.5 billion dollar bond issued by China's oil giant China Petroleum & Chemical Corp. SNP -1.93 % , or Sinopec, had 12 bookrunners, the largest number on record for an Asian bond issued in one of the three major currencies. That beat the eight bookrunners in Sinopec's previous $3 billion dollar bond issued in May last year.
"It's typically a phenomenon in deals from India and China that there are multiple bookrunners on a transaction," said Jon Pratt, head of Asia debt capital markets at Barclays. "In some cases the deals are large and the issuers are rewarding the relationship banks" who do regular work for companies, such as cash management and transaction banking.
In its jumbo deal, Sinopec paid fees equivalent to around 0.3% of the deal size, or $10 million, a person with direct knowledge of the matter said. While 80% of that was shared among the four global coordinators— Bank of America's BAC 0.34 % Merrill Lynch, Citigroup Inc., C -0.11 % J.P. Morgan Chase JPM -0.36 % & Co. and UBS AG—that had the dominant role in arranging the deal, eight other banks that did less work divided the other 20%—or $2 million—the person said. Sinopec didn't immediately respond to a request seeking comment.
Despite the increasingly crowded market, the competition among banks for bond-sale work isn't likely to soften. Chinese and Southeast Asian investment banks are fighting especially hard for market share, while some French banks are switching their focus to Asian bond markets, away from Europe where activity is slow. Crédit Agricole CRARY -0.23 % is gearing up its bond-underwriting capacity in Asia by moving staff to the region.
China's Citic Securities 600030 -1.86 % recently raised $800 million via selling bonds to expand its debt syndication business, according to people familiar with the matter. And U.S.-based Jefferies is also looking to crack the Asian debt market by hiring Royal Bank of Scotland's Asia head of debt capital markets Augusto King.

Former Ute Hanno Mottola leads Finland to first-ever World Cup appearance
Thanassis Stavrakis, AP
To hear Hanno Mottola tell it, captaining Finland to its first-ever appearance at the FIBA World Cup brings him back to his days as a Runnin' Ute. Almost.
"Playing right now for the national team is the only experience that comes anywhere close to those four great years I had at Utah," Mottola said in a phone interview with the Deseret News.
"The closeness you feel for your teammates to the atmosphere this creates — how everybody is pulling together for one thing — it's really cool."
Mottola was a central character to the late '90s golden era of Utah basketball, playing alongside NBA lottery picks Keith Van Horn, Andre Miller and Michael Doleac. While at Utah, the big Finn picked up both a pre-season basketball All-American and two academic All-Americas while studying economics.
Mottola, Miller and Doleac helped lead the Runnin' Utes to the NCAA title game against Kentucky.
"I've got that game on video, but I've never watched it. I never will. The video and the memory from that game are hiding on my bookshelf. It's just there as a reminder to what could have been. We were 3½ minutes away ."
It's not that Mottola left Salt Lake City with much regret, it's just that one game still stings. Only losing one game in four years at the Huntsman Center — and that to the Tim Duncan-led Wake Forest University as a freshman — makes for a decent consolation prize.
After graduating, Mottola became the first-ever Finn to make the NBA by playing for the Atlanta Hawks. His professional basketball career is still ongoing, 14 years and counting.
On Saturday at 1:30 MDT, Finland will meet team USA for the first of five group games in the FIBA World Cup. The Americans come into the tournament as the defending world champion. They also hold the top spot in world basketball rankings, followed by Spain and Argentina.
The soon-to-be 38-year-old Mottola comes into the game with perhaps the most traveled professional hoops career of any World Cup competitor. After leaving the NBA in 2002, Mottola played in Spain, Italy, Russia, Greece, and now for his hometown Helsinki club, Torpan Pojat.
The rest of Finland's roster, though, comes in light on world experience. After finishing with back-to-back ninth-place finishes at the European Championships, Finland reached its first-ever FIBA World Cup via wild card entry.
"It's a great step for Finnish basketball," Mottola said. "For so long I was a lonely wolf trying to push basketball forward in Finland. Now we're on an upswing and it's pretty cool to get this chance at the end of my career. It isn't hard to find motivation for this."
After 20 years on the national team and "15 or 16" years as team captain, Mottola says he knows why Finnish basketball is reaching new heights.
"It comes down to the brand of basketball we play. We have good athleticism, but we're not the biggest team, so we have to be more aggressive. You'll see an aggression with us on both the offensive and defensive side you won't see with any other European team," Mottola said.
"We don't have the same big-time superstars as some of the other teams. We've got to do something different. We shoot threes, we run the floor, we play aggressive defense. These are our keys. We're a pretty easy team to root for."
This fundamentals-first basketball would almost certainly make the late University of Utah coach Rick Majerus proud.
When Mottola decided on passing up the European pro leagues for a U.S. education in hoops and economics, the 18-year-old, 6-foot-11 power forward with a deft jump shot had plenty of NCAA suitors.

Madrid, May 9 (EFE).- Spain's David Ferrer and Roberto Bautista Agut recorded straight-set victories Friday to join countryman and world No. 1 Rafael Nadal in the semifinals of the Madrid Masters.
The 45th-ranked Bautista Agut defeated the player just below him in the ATP rankings, Colombian qualifier Santiago Giraldo, 6-3, 6-4 in the day's second men's quarterfinal clash.
In a match between two players who had never before reached the quarterfinals of an ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event, the Spaniard staved off all six break points he faced and broke Giraldo's serve once each set.
Looking ahead to his next match against Nadal, Bautista Agut said the 13-time Grand Slam champion, who is looking this week to win his 19th Masters title on his beloved clay courts, is the favorite "wherever he plays."
But "if I have a chance to win, I'll try to win," the Spaniard added.
Ferrer, who broke Nadal's 30-match winning streak on clay at this year's Monte Carlo event, was too solid in Friday's third quarterfinal match against Latvia's Ernests Gulbis, winning 7-6 (7-3), 6-3.
Gulbis' serve clocked in as fast as 227 kmh (141 mph) but Ferrer weathered the storm to win the match in one hour and 40 minutes and will next take on either another Spaniard, Feliciano Lopez, or red-hot world No. 12 Kei Nishikori of Japan.
In Friday's first quarterfinal, Nadal dominated Czech world No. 6 Tomas Berdych 6-4, 6-2 to erase some doubts about his clay-court form ahead of this year's French Open.
Nadal had uncharacteristically struggled earlier in the European clay-court season, losing in the quarterfinals of the Monte Carlo Masters and the Barcelona Open to Ferrer and another Spaniard, Nicolas Almagro, respectively.
But Nadal looked as sharp as ever against Berdych, blasting forehand winners, moving crisply and serving effectively throughout the one-hour, 27-minute match.
In women's singles, American world No. 1 Serena Williams withdrew from her Friday quarterfinal match against the Czech Republic's Petra Kvitova due to a thigh strain.
Also advancing to the semifinals were eighth-seeded Maria Sharapova, who defeated China's Li Na 2-6, 7-6 (7-5), 6-3; Romania's Simona Halep, a 6-2, 6-2 winner over Serbia's Ana Ivanovic; and Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska, who edged French qualifier Caroline Garcia 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.
The Madrid tournament is one of the biggest clay-court events on the ATP and WTA calendars and a major tune-up for the French Open, which gets underway on May 25.

help! stripped allen screw

My brake pads were put on so tightly that I stripped the screw while attempting to remove them. I tried a brand new allen key, a pair of pliers, and a pair of vice grips. My brake pad is now crooked, unable to move, and my bike is functionally unrideable.

If you can't get any leverage on it, then you will have to drill it off. You want to use a drill bit that is the same diameter as the bolt-shaft… you drill down through the head of the bolt and when the drill gets to where the head connects to the shaft, it should snap off and allow you to either pull the bolt-shaft through the other end or expose the shaft enough to get a pair of vice grips on it.
At this point, it isn't a job for an unpracticed hand. You have to be precise with the drill and if you still need to unscrew something after that, you are going to want to use a penetrating fluid like liquid-wrench.
Can you loosen the brake cable the way that you would remove the wheel? If you can get leverage on the pad itself you could try twisting that with a pair of pliers. You'll need a new pad afterwords, but you should be able to twist it from the other side. Use some liquidwrench first.

^Good advice above. You could also remove the wheel and see if you can put the vise grip on the brake pad, and unscrew it that way (i.e., using the vise grip). If you are in a bind and need a drill and drill bit, give a call at 412-six five one four six three four. My shop is near the South Side Slopes. We have tools and are happy to help.

after taking an ill-fitting bike with a tube that wouldn't hold air today, I got desperate and took a hacksaw to it.
chipped some of the paint on my fork, but at least I get to ride "the good bike" tomorrow.

A hacksaw shows perseverance.

Gah; I think I'm going to see if I can replace all the hex screws on my bike with Robertson screws; lubricating screws helps with that problem too though, but I'm not sure if that should be done on brake pads; perhaps a blue thread lock would serve the same purpose in preventing the screws from corroding
Gah, finding metric, stainless square drives doesn't seem so easy
Drewbacca #
heh… I've stripped Robertson screws before. O.o Best to just remember to use grease or threadlock in order to prevent chemical bonding between metals.
jonawebb #
To prevent stripping, the best screw is the flat blade — leverage gives you the maximum possible torque. And you should use an anti-seize grease, which contains sacrificial metal, to prevent bonding.

I think regular old grease is fine (I use marine grease for the extra water resistance)… you just want to create a barrier from oxygen and prevent metal-to-metal contact. Anti-sieze is great stuff, but I can't think of any reason to pay the extra $$$ to use it on a bicycle. I think of it as more of a high temp/ high pressure system solution. Certainly it's OK to use… but it seems like overkill to me.
jonawebb #
Well, if you ever have a screw seize up in your frame and have to drill it out and retap or use a helicoil, you'll wish you'd used it. And a can lasts for years. Piece of mind.
Marko82 #
If the screw head is just stripped (as opposed to the screw being seized), another approach is to take a file and flatten the sides of the head. Then you can use an adjustable wrench to turn the screw out. Best pic I could find with a quick search
sew #
If the screw head is just mangled like Marko82 shows above, they also make a tool that I believe is called an easy out. It looks bit like a drill bit. The bit has sharp edges that will catch on the mangled screw as you use the drill in reverse. Once it catches, the screw backs out fairly easily. They even work if the head of the bolt is off but you might need to drill a hole first. I bought mine at Sears, three sizes to a pack. $10, I think. I'm less nervous about snapping a bolt now.
PB Blaster is an awesome helper as well.

Is there any reason why I should not use relative URLs for the link to my images in posts?
I have just had to change hosts, and many URLs were taken over with Absolute URLS to the old Host...
Can I use the format: "../wp-content/uploads/2010/08/image.jpg"?
I am only considering this for changing all the old URLs via "Search & Replace" plugin.
