This manual provides instructions for the installation of an auxiliary air suspension kit, developed specifically for the Citroën Jumper X240, Fiat Ducato X240 and Peugeot Boxer X240 (each introduced June 2006). To ensure correct installation of the kit, it is strongly recommend that these instructions are read thoroughly before commencing any installation work. Installation should only be carried out by a suitably qualified mechanic or specialist installation facility. Dunlop Systems and Components will not accept any responsibility for faults or defects arising from incorrect installation, which automatically renders the guarantee invalid.
IMPORTANT : Manufacturers Declaration FormA manufacturers declaration form is provided with your kit. Following installation of the kit please ensure that this form is completed, signed by a qualified fitter and returned to Dunlop Systems and Components.
Thank you for choosing an auxiliary air suspension kit from the range offered by Dunlop Systems and Components. Auxiliary air suspension is fitted in tandem with the standard steel springs of the vehicle suspension, and provides enhancements in terms of both the stability of the vehicle and the comfort of the passengers
Vehicle Levelling
Simply by varying the air pressure in the springs, the vehicle can be levelled both front-to-rear and side-to-side. Keeping the vehicle level optimises stability, ensures correct headlamp beam distribution and reduces tyre wear arising from uneven distribution of weight.
Straight Line Stability
Straight line stability is greatly increased at higher speeds, and when subjected to buffeting from cross-winds or large overtaking vehicles.
Reduced Body Roll
Body roll when cornering or negotiating roundabouts is significantly reduced.
Fatigue Reduction and Wear Compensation
Suspension fatigue is reduced, so helping to prevent leaf springs from sagging under repeated or constant loading.
Any sagging already present can be compensated-for. This is a particular benefit for motorhomes, which are always fully laden.
Ride Comfort
Air springs help to absorb shock loads from uneven road surfaces, therefore general ride quality is much improved.
Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW)
Air assist kits are not in themselves designed to increase the gross vehicle weight (GVW) rating of a vehicle. They do not legally allow for carriage of a load greater than the carrying capacity stated on the data plate of the vehicle.
Do not exceed the maximum load specified by the vehicle manufacturer
¨ to avoid compromising passenger safety
¨ to prevent possible damage to the vehicle
¨ for legal reasons
Load Sensing Valve (LSV) Adjustment
If your vehicle is not fitted with an antilock braking system (ABS) then it will have a load sensing valve (LSV) to automatically adjust braking force under varying load conditions. This valve must be adjusted immediately after the fitting of an air assist kit and before the vehicle is driven again on public roads.
If the LSV is not adjusted following the fitting of an air assist kit, it may misjudge rear load conditions to the extent that the braking pressure applied to the rear brakes is not correct (e.g. the rear wheels may lock with no load on the rear axle). The consequences of this in terms of vehicle stability and safety are potentially serious.
Vehicle Uprating
Despite the above words of caution, it is possible to upgrade the weight rating of your vehicle. This must be carried-out by a specialist supplier that will
¨ carry out any necessary modifications in addition to fitting the air assist kit
¨ complete documentation as necessary to inform the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) a mandatory requirement
¨ supply and fit a new weight plate to replace the original plate supplied with the vehicle
This process applies to United Kingdom registered vehicles. The process in other countries may be different.
Safety Guidance Note
The following very useful guidance note is available for free download from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE)
PM85, July 2007 Safe recovery (and repair) of buses and coaches fitted with air suspension
The uniform resource locator (URL) for this document is
The complete bellow and bracket assembly is shown by the diagram below...
Number Part Number Description Quantity 10.07.00.1.03 Fill Plate 2 10.07.00.1.02 Upper Clamping Brackets 4 10.07.00.1.01 Upper Plate 2 10.07.00.1.04 Lower Plate 2 SA.LB.170-2 Air Bellow : 170/2 2
Preparation and Precaution
Before beginning installation, ensure that you have sufficient clearance between the axle and the chassis. Use a jack if necessary. Install at one side of the vehicle at a time.
Pay attention to your safety at all times during installation - always use axle stands to support the vehicle!
The following instructions make reference to the diagrams on pages 16 to 18 inclusive.
5.1 Attachment of Top Plate and Tube to Bellow
i. Attach the upper plate to the top of the bellow (i.e. the end without the air inlet / exhaust port) using four countersunk screwsFigures 1 and 2.
ii. See Section 5.7 - Tube Connection and Disconnection, Cutting and Routing : Connect a tube to the bellow by pushing the tube into the air inlet port on the underside of the spring and then hand-rotating the tube by one screw turnFigures 1 and 2. Use black tubing for the left-hand bellow and blue for the right-hand bellow.
5.2 Removal of Bump Stop and fitting of Fill Plate
i. Unscrew and remove the bump stop Figures 3, 4 and 5. The hole vacated by removal of the bump stop will be used for attachment of the fill plate.
ii. Attach the fill plate using a single M10 x 1.25 x 25mm bolt and M10 spring washerFigures 6 and 7.
5.3 Upper Attachment of Bellow
i. Insert the two upper clamping brackets into the recess in the underside of the chassis rail. Slide them legs first towards the bracket now housing the fill plate until they come to a stop with the legs slotted into the space between the chassis recess and the bracketFigures 8 and 9.
ii. Attach the bellow upper plate to the upper clamping brackets using two M8 x 20 bolts and two M8 washersFigures 10 and 11. Do not fully tighten the bolts at this stage because the bellow may require alignment once inflated (Figure 19, Section 5.9).
5.4 Installation of Lower Plate
i. Remove the U-bolts that attach a clamping plate to the leaf spring, and then remove and discard the plate itself Figures 12, 13 and 14
ii. See figures 15 and 16 : Place the lower plate over the leaf spring paying attention to orientationsee arrows on Figures 15 and 16. Place the U-bolts removed in the previous step over the lower plate and through their original mounting holes. Secure the plate against the leaf spring by reattaching the nuts and washers removed during the previous step (or by attaching new ones of the same size)Figure 16. Tighten each nut to torque 110Nm (81lbf.ft).
5.5 Lower Attachment of Bellow
i. Feed the air tube through the slot in the lower plate and out towards the centre of the vehicleFigure 17.
ii. Attach the bellow to the lower plate using two M8 x 16mm bolts and two spring washersFigure 18. Do not fully tighten the bolts at this stage because the bellow may require alignment once inflated (Figure 19, Section 5.9).
5.6 Fitting of Inflator Console
Option 1
Option 2
Option 3
Vehicle Fascia Console
Your kit is supplied with one of the inflator console options shown above
· Standard, having two valves only (above, top-left)
· Option 1, Option 2 or Option 3, having both valves and pressure gauges
· having both valves and pressure gauges and specially designed to fit into the fascia panel of the vehicle (Vehicle Fascia Console)
Mount the console in a position of your choice whereby it is firmly fixed, has some protection from the environment (particularly important for the console with gauges) and is easily accessible. Suggested possible locations include...
Standard Console
· on the rear bumper
· at the rear beside the license plate
· on the chassis next to a rear wheel
· in a service shutter
· beside the fuel cap
Option 1, Option 2 or Option 3 Console
· in the vehicle cabin, within reach and sight of the driver
· in the wall of a cupboard (motorhomes)
· in a service shutter
Comfort Packages
The Option 2 and Option 3 panels, as shown above, are each part of a Comfort Package that is supplied with a compressor (and also an air reservoir in the case of the Option 3 panel) for ease of spring inflation and ride height setting. For further information please ask your dealer.
5.7 Tube Connection and Disconnection, Cutting and Routing
Connection and Disconnection
Tubes are connected as shown by the diagrams below...
A. Slide a nut over the end of the tube
B. Push the tube onto the connector as far as possible
C. Feed the nut up to the connector, fully tighten by hand and finally tighten one additional turn using spanners
To achieve good sealing and air-tight fitting of tube ends to their connecting parts, it is very important to cut tubing cleanly and squarely. A dedicated guillotine action tubing cutter is recommended, or a craft knife if such a tool is not available. Do not use electricians side cutters.
A dedicated tubing cutter - Recommended
Electricians Side Cutters - NOT Recommended
Study the underside of the vehicle and decide how to route each branch of the air circuit
· To minimise the risk of chafing, avoid running tubing over metal edges as much as possible
· Avoid close proximity to heat sources such as the exhaust assembly
· Choose a route that provides as much protection as possible from dirt, debris and any solid objects that may impact the underside of the vehicle
It is recommended that tubes are guided alongside brake lines as much as possible.
Use cable ties (tie wraps) to secure tubing to the chassis, taking care not to over-tighten them.
5.8 Spring Inflation
Maximum and Minimum Pressure
Maximum Pressure 7.0bar Minimum Pressure 0.5bar
Do not exceed 7.0bar (101psi), which is the recommended maximum charge pressure for the air springs.
The springs may be deflated if the vehicle is to be stored for a lengthy period without use, but a pressure of at least 0.5bar (7.25psi) should be maintained at all times in order to avoid possible compression damage to the springs.
5.9 Spring Alignment
Spring out of alignment mounting plate axes offset
Spring in alignment mounting plates parallel and coaxial
Before fully tightening the bolts that secure the air spring to the upper and lower brackets, set the vehicle at ride height (spring height approximately 13.5cm) and ensure that the springs are correctly aligned.
5.10 Maintenance
Following installation, it is recommended that all metal parts are coated with a protective substance such as body wax.
The system does not require very much maintenance other than
¨ to maintain air pressure in the springs. Much like a tyre, the system may lose a little air over time.
¨ to keep the air bellows clean. It is suggested that, when washing the vehicle, the bellows are inspected and cleaned as necessary (preferable by spraying). Look in particular for stones or grit trapped between convolutes, as this may damage the bellow.

Re: Fitting Semi Air Suspension To Fiat Ducato Motorhome
Hi thanks for the instructions very helpful. You say
(On the close up view below, I have colour co-ordinated the valves and hoses to make it easier to remember which valve operate which side of the vehicle with road marker posts, red is always on the right,)
you ran the red pipe on RHS yet in photo's it appears to be on LHS N/S is there a recognized standard for these suspension hose,s

Re: Fitting Semi Air Suspension To Fiat Ducato Motorhome
steer clear of marcle leisure for air suspension..incompetent does not come near it!
they supply incorrect parts in the kit which leaves you with half fitted components, then blame dunlop, dont bother to return your calls, dont know about fitting it to a x290 model brake pipe brackets!!!
supply gauges that are widely inaccurate showing 20psi difference between them and as a last get out option offer for you to strip the complete kit off your van after spending two days fitting due to incorrect parts supplied and post back at your own expense to get a credit with them
lots of places selling air suspension you don't need to be mucked about by this company

Eric Vianney scored a career-high 18 points as Tulane evened its Conference USA record at 1-1 with a 65-54 victory against Rice on Saturday at Fogelman Arena.
The Green Wave (7-8) and Owls (5-10, 0-1) were tied at halftime, 28-28 and still deadlocked at 40 midway through the second half before Tulane went on a 10-0 run that put the Wave into the lead for good.
Kris Richard had 16 points and Kevin Sims 12 for the Wave. Lawrence Ghoram led Rice with 17.
Game updates
Wave hanging on
Although the old bugaboo of missed free throws is keeping Rice in range, Tulane looks like it will even its Conference USA record at 1-1. With 1:02 left, the Wave is leading, 58-50.
Tulane pulls ahead by seven
Kris Richard broke a 40-40 tie with a 3-pointer, starting Tulane on a run that has the Wave leading 47-40 with 7:52 left.
Wave, Owls tied at half
Tulane scored only one shot in the final six minutes of the half as Rice overcame a seven-point deficit to pull to a 28-28 halftime tie.
The Wave was leading 26-19 when with Robinson Louisme, David Booker and Daniel Puckett all on the bench with two fouls the offense seemingly lost its ability to execute and make shots.
Kris Sims' four-footer with 25 seconds left in the half, the only shot he made in five attempts, accounted for Tulane's sole points in that stretch.
Eric Vianney has 11 points to lead the Wave, which shot 38 percent.
Tulane still holding lead
Despite an 0-7 shooting stretch at one point, Tulane has stayed ahead of Rice, thanks primarily to a sound defense. With 7:48 left in the half, it's 20-14. Eric Vianney leads the Wave with five points.
Tulane off to good start
Three free throws by Kevin Sims after he was fouled shooting from beyond the arc and a 3-pointer by Eric Vianney helped Tulane establish a 12-8 lead with 14:37 left in the frist half.
Wave needs victory to get even
Tulane seeks to even its Conference USA record at 1-1 in a 2 p.m. home game against Rice (5-9, 0-0).
The Green Wave, which lost to East Carolina, 69-66 in its league opener on Wednesday is still without freshman guard Kendall Timmons, who will miss his fourth straight game with a rib injury.

JOHNSTOWN - In one corner of the room, Johnstown High School student Brittany Wager is working on a nutritional child-lunch business. To her right, Alexis Cannizzo is working on a DVD promotional business for A.G. Cole Funeral Home, which is run by her father, Nick.
Another student is working on a business that creates apps for an iPhone, and the list goes on from there.
It's all part of the new Young Entrepreneurs Academy, which is being offered this year as a for-credit elective class through the school's business department.

"I think it's really fun," Cannizzo said. "We're learning how much work it is to start a company."
Eva Mraz, co-owner of A&E Sportswear in Johnstown with her husband, Aaron, serves as a mentor to two students in the class.
"It's a great program for a lot of reasons," said Mraz. who also is vice president of the Board of Education. "It gets the students to really see what goes behind starting a business. It's a lot of work and it can make you or break you. I think it's such an asset to our district and it's wonderful."
Cannizzo, who is mentored by John Viscosi, owner of Viscosi Photography, said she was surprised at how much work is going into creating her business
"She seems enthusiastic," Viscosi said. "She has a good plan and is interested in the input."
Mraz, who works with two other students, said it can be overwhelming.
According to Patricia Kilburn, the district's director of Curriculum, Testing and Personnel, who spearheaded the effort to bring the Rochester Institute of Technology-based program to Johnstown High School, the program partners with area businesses to give students a course that takes them through the steps of starting and running a real company.
"I think one of the things in education is that we always try to keep the learning relevant," Kilburn said.
She said there are 18 students in the class, which is taught by business teacher Sarah Jones, made up primarily of high school seniors, but it is open to students in all grades. The Y.E.A. program was started in 2004, and according to the school district's website, students will form and control legally registered enterprises.
Participating students may also become eligible to receive scholarships from the Rochester Institute of Technology. The course teaches students the firsthand approach to creating a business plan, marketing a new business or idea, creating a prototype, making a pitch to potential investors and other parts of the process, the website said.
The students also work with owners of local businesses who impart some of what they learned in the process of either opening and running their operations.
"[The mentors] help us out a lot," Cannizzo said. "They provide us with a lot of useful information."
The class meets every day, but only work with the mentors one day per week. Other days, the class has guest speakers, such as Fred Guziliek, president of the Robert J. Hoy insurance agency in Broadalbin, who spoke about insurance for businesses. On Thursday, area attorney Jay Wood spoke to the class about legal issues such as trademarks, copyrights, patents and other topics. The class also recently took a field trip to Townsend Leather.
Another part of the program requires the assistance of 13 businesses to form a panel of investors. For help with that, Kilburn reached out to the Fulton County Regional Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
"We still need to find businesses willing to be partners and work with students and fund the program, to have them establish businesses," chamber President/Chief Executive Officer Wally Hart said. "I definitely still have some work to do and have not completed my task."
Kilburn said businesses that make a donation as investors will join the Investor Panel presentation at year's end, and students will have six minutes to pitch their idea to the judges and seek funding for their businesses.
"They'll learn how to present and make pitches to investors," Kilburn said.
Investors also will send a winning pitch ahead to compete at a regional competition in Rochester, where students will have an opportunity for a scholarship to R.I.T.
But that's a bonus.
Mraz said one of the course's best qualities is that students are working on a project - their businesses - and getting the benefit of the experience of those who have done it before them.
"You're not having someone tell you what to do and have someone share with you their experience," she said. "They grasp you sharing more than you telling them what to do."
As a mentor, she's stressing one thing above all else: marketing.
"Market your product and make sure there is a need for it and make sure the market isn't already saturated with it," she said. "If you can meet those two criteria and have good customer service, you can really run a decent business."

JACKSON, MI – Patricia Anderson was known in Jackson for her tireless volunteer work and exemplary 20-year career as an elementary school teacher in the Jackson Public Schools system, according to friends, community members and family.
Anderson died Saturday, March 23 at her home in Jackson, following a three-year battle with lung cancer. She was 82.
A memorial service is planned for 11 a.m. Thursday, March 28, at Higby Street Church of Christ, 706 S. Higby St. in Jackson. The family will receive friends for a visitation 5-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 27, at Wetherby Funeral Home, 402 Wildwood Ave. in Jackson.
Anderson was born in Jackson in 1930. She was raised here and graduated from Spring Arbor College. In 1956, she married her husband, Charles, who survives her.
Anderson began volunteering in the 1960s when she and her husband joined a Jackson PTA. Soon, the couple was volunteering their time at churches, hospitals, service organizations, educational efforts and public agency boards, according to a 1997 Jackson Citizen Patriot Story when Anderson and her husband were named Citizen of the Year.
Patricia was an active volunteer at the Higby Street Church of Christ in Jackson where she worked in the Blessing Shop, gathering food and clothing for those in need, said Church of Christ Minister Jim Burrus.
"She was instrumental in our clothing and food ministry," Burrus said. "She was simply a great and wonderful teacher. Her gift was unconditional love — not just to her immediate family but to the church family as well.
"Everyone loved her dearly. It's a tremendous loss for our church and the community as a whole, but her passing is heaven's gain."
Outside of the church, Anderson was active with the Toys for Tots program and co-chaired the Friendly Visitor Program at Foote Hospital, now Allegiance Health, her husband said.
Patricia and Charles were named Jackson Citizens of the Year by the Citizen Patriot in 1997, the first pair to receive the award normally slated for individuals.
"I'm going to miss simply having her in the house," Charles, 82, said. "I'm going to miss having someone to talk to, someone to share my feelings with. We were a team."
The couple has twin daughters, Kim and Kumari, 54, who both reside in the Dallas area.
Patricia was named the Jackson School District's "Outstanding Educator" in 1982.
"She taught elementary school at both Lincoln and Hunt elementary schools in Jackson," Charles said. "She used to have grown men and women come up to her on the street and say, 'You were the best teacher I ever had.'
"She impacted a lot of lives in Jackson."

With his Saginaw Spirit team leading by a slim one goal early in the third period against Guelph, Szwarz picked up a rebound on the weak side and stuffed it in the net.
Two minutes later, Szwarz scored again to give the Spirit a two goal lead. Saginaw withstood a late Guelph charge to hang on for the 4-3 win Sunday afternoon in front of 4,180 at The Dow Event Center's Wendler Arena.
What happened in between those two goals, unbeknownst to Swzwarz, put the cherry on top: team Canada forward Sydney Crosby scored an overtime game-winner, giving his country the Olympic gold medal in Vancouver, British Columbia.
A few minutes later, as the Burlington, Ontario native Szwarz sat on the Saginaw bench, the arena public address announcer informed the crowd of the final score of the Olympic gold medal game.
"It brought a smile to my face," Szwarz said.
Saginaw's win gave the team 68 points for the year, seven more than ninth-place Owen Sound, who lost an early Sunday game.
That means one more win and Saginaw has clinched a playoff spot. They will look to wrap things up Tuesday when they host Plymouth.
After that, the Spirit embark on a tough three-game road trip to Windsor, Plymouth and Sault Ste. Marie. That places all the more onus on Tuesday's game.
"It'd be nice to get it Tuesday," Spirit head coach Todd Watson said.
Saginaw didn't get to this point without a fight Sunday. The Spirit took an early two-goal lead, before Guelph scored the lone goal of the second period to cut the deficit to one at second intermission.
"Coach Watson made it clear during the intermission that we needed to come out with more intensity," Szwarz said. "It's good to get those two goals for us."
Szwarz's second goal, his fifth in four games, came on the power play, capping off a 3-for-4 day for the Spirit power play. Jordan Skellett and Ryan O'Connor also added goals for the Spirit.
After coming out poorly in Wednesday's game against Sault Ste. Marie and losing, the Spirit finished off the weekend with four points in two days, after beating Sarnia Saturday night.
That gave Watson plenty to be happy about Sunday afternoon. As highlights of Canada's gold-medal winning goal flashed on the television screen in his office, the Michigan native Watson still sat at his desk smiling.
"Would you rather have a US win? Not me," Watson said. "I'll take the Spirit win. And I was pulling for the US team."
• Spirit defenseman Alex Lepkowski was suspended for two games for fighting after the final horn of Saginaw's Saturday night game against Sarnia. He was scratched Sunday and will be eligible to return Thursday when Saginaw travels to Windsor.
• Saginaw's Tuesday game against Plymouth, the annual education game, will be played at 10:45 a.m. The Whalers will travel to Saginaw Monday night in advance of the game. Watson said he considered having an early practice to acclimate his players to the early start time, but with only one day off between games opted against it.
"It's different, but it's different for both at least," Watson said.

text: Since this is in our back yard I figured I'd post it here.....if I can find a way to upload the photos I will but so far it looks like the company may have blocked them.... BP supports Gulf of Mexico marine research project By Planet BP Tuesday, April 15, 2008 BP has donated $30,000 to Louisiana State University to purchase a digital camera system to support the SERPENT project, a global collaboration between the petroleum industry and academia that uses industrial remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) for research during periods of operational standby time. The camera system, which is compatible with BP ROVs deployed at BP drilling and production sites, includes an eight-megapixel digital camera, strobe and control hardware and software. According to Mark Benfield, an LSU Oceanography and Coastal Sciences professor and coordinator of the SERPENT project, the system enables more definitive identification of marine species in the Gulf of Mexico and provides high-quality images for scientific and outreach publications. Editor's Note: The slide show above right features seven images taken by ROVs during the SERPENT project. Here are the descriptions for each image: Slide 1: A manefish imaged by Oceaneering below Ocean Confidence. This is the first time an adult manefish has been documented in the Gulf of Mexico and this also appears to be the best footage of a manefish recorded in the ocean. Slide 2: A swimming snail called a heteropod imaged below Thunder Horse PDQ by Saipem-America. These small organisms are predators that feed on other gelatinous organisms. Slide 3: A jellyfish called Periphyllopsis braueri imaged by Oceaneering beneath the Discoverer Enterprise. Slide 4: This jellyfish called Solmissus is one of the most common organisms we see. It was imaged by Saipem-America beneath the Thunderhorse PDQ. Slide 5: A large colonial organism called a siphonophore imaged by Oceaneering beneath Ocean Confidence.

Gail Gerlach entered a not guilty plea on a first degree manslaughter charge for the killing of Brandon Kaluza-Graham on March 25.
Gerlach was making his first appearance on the charge stemming from the incident, where Kaluza-Graham attempted to steal Gerlach's SUV, which had been idling in his driveway. Gerlach fired a single shot at the SUV as Kaluza-Graham was driving away from his home.
Kaluza-Graham was hit in the head and died nearly instantly.
Following the brief appearance, Gerlach was taken to the Spokane County Jail where he was to be booked, fingerprinted and subsequently released.
Before he was taken to the jail, Gerlach spoke publicly for the first time, addressing the number of supporters who came to the courthouse in a show of solidarity with him.
"I think they're good people and they mean well and we'll just take it from here and see what happens. I appreciate anyone's support but that's not why we're here," he said.
Members of Brandon Kaluza-Graham's family were also on hand for the court hearing.

Dwayne Sortor led Southfield Bradford with 15 points. Four Bradford players scored in the double digits.
Adrian Harrison led Ypsilanti Arbor Preparatory with 14 points, and Keyshaun Morris had eight points and 10 rebounds.
Bradford led 24-22 after the first, but lengthened the lead to 47-30 at the half.
"We have five freshman and two sophomores," Arbor Prep coach Don Spencer said. "They're extremely talented, but fatigue factors in when seniors are pounding on you."

Hoover, Ala. -- The LSU Tigers men's basketball has struggled the past two years, winning just 11 games in each of the past two seasons. But the Tigers have higher hopes for the upcoming campaign.
With an influx of talented players and the return of their top four scorers from a year ago, the Tigers are hoping they pull themselves up of the SEC dumps. So far in practice, Coach Trent Johnson and guard Ralston Turner said, the Tigers are looking like an improved squad.
Both had high praise for freshman point guard Anthony Hickey, whose arrival has allowed Turner to move to the wing and last year's point guard Andre Stringer to play his more natural shooting guard position, on Thursday at the SEC Basketball Media Day.
Hickey's play has allowed the Tigers to push the basketball more and pick up their full-court pressure defense.
"He is looking good," Johnson said of Hickey, a former Mr.

When it opened on Broadway, "Fiddler on the Roof" earned the record for the longest-running Broadway musical to that date. The production won nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical, score and book. It spawned four Broadway revivals and a successful 1971 film while the show has enjoyed enduring international popularity.
Set in Tsarist Russia in 1905, the story is based on the story Tevye and his Daughters by Sholem Aleichem. The story centers on Tevye, the father of five daughters, and his attempts to maintain his family and religious traditions while outside influences encroach upon their lives. He must cope both with the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters—each one's choice of husband moves further away from the customs of his faith—and with the edict of the Tsar that evicts the Jews from their village.
The production is part of the "Theater in Our Parks" collaboration between the City of Flint Parks and Recreation Department and Genesee County Parks Commission with funding from the Ruth Mott Foundation partnering with the Flint School of Performing Arts on this project.

Easter Eggs
There eyes wide with wonder, six fearless adventurers took off around the house. The obvious treasures were gobbled up quickly as the real search began for the elusive few remaining eggs.
On the window sill, only slightly above their wandering eyes sits a bright blue. From the crook of the tree peaks a marvelous yellow.
Cole stands over the lid to the well house, ready to drop the eight feet down into the gloomy shadows in search of booty. Others walk ever shrinking circles of desperation. Right here, a finger points, smiles return as they run in glee to capture yet another.
We are all searching for something, yet sometimes we make it harder than it really is. Our eyes easily skip over what is right before them, thinking it can not be that easy. Sometimes it takes another to point it out for the scales to fall from our eyes. Or seeing what is just out of reach, we declare it is too much and sit with basket in hand.
I feel that way at times. More recently as I am job hunting. I have been blessed with an amazing part time job, but it still keeps me from my family more than I would like. Still chasing my Easter Egg.
What is it that you are searching for?

My Health, to be well again. To be able to do the things that were once so easy to do. You do not think about losing it until it is gone. So a cure for arthritis would be nice. My lungs have been breathing better.
And I hope you know that I am praying for you in your job search. But at least now if you have a part time job than maybe this will lead to the full time job. And I pray for the quandry that you are in about being there with the boys. I truly believe in quality time, some parents can be with their kids all day but they are not really WITH their kids. That spending the actual time doing something with them is what is important, listening to them, talking to them, helping them. This is better than just staying in a house with them in their bedrooms, or playing on video games or watching TV. I know you will be WITH your kids.
God bless.

Still searching for my car keys! No..found those! A cure for diabetes would be nice, And it's good that you can actually spend real time with your kids. It makes us both a little sad( the Princess and I ) when she has to go home, at the end of the day; when Mum comes to pick her up. Even tho' I'm more a big brother, than father type, I can somewhat relate to it.

Not sure exactly what I am looking for or what I need. However, I think that I want/need/desire/long for a relationship again. Being alone stinks, stanks, stunks. Being young and single, I could never image actually being with some. Then getting married, I could never image being alone again. Then finding myself unexpectedly single, you get the picture.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Maybe it was the increasing strain "The Following" put on logic and credibility. Maybe it was the uncomfortable delight it seemed to take in those lingering shots of tortured innocents.
Maybe it was the wearisome repetition of formula (oh, look, Kevin Bacon's Ryan Hardy is walking down another dark hallway, unaware that he's again a lumbering step behind an insufferably smug serial killer). Maybe it was the ridiculous ineptitude of the FBI and other law enforcement agencies.
Maybe it was the complete disregard for basic police procedures. Maybe it was the unbelievable number of followers that jailed serial killer Joe Carroll (James Purefoy) seemed to have conveniently stashed, well, everywhere. Or maybe it was just that, for all his proclaimed knowledge of Edgar Allan Poe, brilliant former literature professor Carroll only seemed capable of referencing the most standard Poe works familiar to middle-school students.
Whatever the reason, or combination of reasons, "The Following" lost me as it stumbled its way through last year's first season. And I really wanted to like this one. How could you not want to like a series created by Kevin Williamson ("Scream," "The Vampire Diaries") and starring Bacon and Purefoy ("Rome")?
I didn't stop following it. I stuck it out to the annoying why-bother? season finale. But, after about five episodes, I did stop following it with any sense of enthusiasm.
But we're a nation of second chances, and "The Following" returns with a second-season opener airing about 10:30 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 19, after Fox's coverage of the NFC championship game on WJW Channel 8. The dark drama moves into its regular time period with the season's second episode at 9 p.m. Monday, Jan. 27.
Yes, we live in hope. We hope "The Following" will be less grisly merely for the sake of being grisly. We hope it will find some badly needed IQ points, relying less on the idiot plot (that time-honored literary device that advances the story by turning all of the characters into idiots, expecting that readers or viewers will fail to notice).
We hope that "The Following" stops stacking contrivance on top of implausibility. We hope it turns into a show worthy of Bacon and Purefoy.
The second-season opener is set one year after the assumed death of Carroll. Hardy seems to be finally moving on after everything went so tragically wrong. Yet his obsession with Carroll kicks into a higher gear when a killing spree rocks the Big Apple to its core. It looks like Carroll's reign of terror has opened a new front.
By now, everyone knows Carroll isn't dead. Purefoy admits he was lying when he told interviewers last year that he didn't know the character's fate.
Among the new faces you'll be spotting in "The Following" are: Connie Nielsen, who plays art dealer Lily Gray, the lone survivor of an attack; Sam Underwood, who plays Luke; Jessica Stroup as Max Hardy, a police officer and Ryan's cop niece; and Tiffany Boone as Mandy Lang.
Williamson has promised that the second season will be less violent, but there's sure plenty of gore in Sunday night's opener. Are you willing to follow him for a second time?

OXFORD, Mississippi -- Ole Miss couldn't cool down the LSU bats and dropped its home finale 13-4 (5) to the No. 24 ranked Tigers.
"We have to come out this week and practice hard because we still have three games left," Ole Miss assistant coach Julie Meyer said. "The season's not over, and just because of a loss like today where we had a little bit of adversity with the weather - and sort of the whole day dealing with that - we have to push through that. We can still play a spoiler role at Tennessee next week. It was Senior Weekend here, but we still have three full games left to give everything we have and for next year's team to build off of what we do next weekend."
During a rain delay, members of the teams broke out their best moves in an impromptu dance-off.

LOGAN, Utah — A substitute teacher in northern Utah has been arrested after school leaders spotted her outside of the school nursing a liquor bottle.
The Herald Journal of Logan reports that 32-year-old Erin Terry was arrested Tuesday afternoon on suspicion of intoxication and open container violations. She has not yet been charged.
Cache County Sheriff Lt. Doyle Peck says Terry was spotted falling down Tuesday afternoon on the campus of a middle school in Hyrum, Utah, south of Logan.
Authorities say she was very drunk and had been drinking all day.
Cache County School District spokesman Kirk McRae says Terry worked at the school that same day, though he doesn't know if she was drunk while teaching.
McRae says the district didn't receive any reports from students or parents about Terry.

The musical version of Rocky is getting ready to go the distance on Broadway. The production will open at the Winter Garden Theatre in the spring of 2014. The current occupant, the smash hit musical Mamma Mia! will be moving to the Broadhurst Theatre later this year.
Rocky is based on the 1975 film about the scrappy small-time fighter Rocky Balboa who goes up against the heavyweight champion Apollo Creed. Filmed in Philadelphia in 28 days on a small budget, Rocky was written by and starred then-unknown Sylvester Stallone as the titular underdog. The film went on to win three Oscars including Best Picture as well as nominations for Actor (Stallone, who was also nominated for his screenplay), Supporting Actress (Talia Shire), and Supporting Actor (Burgess Meredith and Burt Young). It also spawned five sequels, all written by and starring Stallone.
The musical features a book by Tony-winner Thomas Meehan (Annie, The Producers, Hairspray) and Stallone with a score by composer Stephen Flaherty and lyricist Lynn Ahrens, whose Broadway works include Ragtime and Once on This Island. The production opened in Hamburg, Germany in the fall of 2012 and is still playing there to packed houses. Director Alex Timbers, who received Tony nominations for Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson and Peter and the Starcatcher, will repeat his staging chores.
"I couldn't be more proud or more excited about this production and how my original story of Rocky Balboa has been brought to spectacular life onstage," said Stallone in a press statement. "The story of Rocky was very much like my life at the time—starting out with nothing, having to fight for roles and recognition. So I put those feelings into the body of a boxer and I had no idea there were so many millions of people that felt the same way. Alex Timbers and the entire creative team have not only honored that original impulse, but have made his story as exciting, heart-breaking, and inspiring as it was when Rocky first went the distance on screen."
The last major Broadway musical with boxing as a backdrop was Golden Boy, based on Clifford Odets' drama, which starred Sammy Davis, Jr. in 1964. The 1937 straight play version received a revival earlier this season from Lincoln Center Theater.

Hey, saw in a recent DIRECTV Tech. training video a new GenieGo version 2 is coming soon. Specs. are said to be the same as the first generation GG, but in addition to it's lone ethernet connection GG2 will be MoCA enabled for a coax network hookup option as well.
In fact on all SWiM installs, coax with be the preferred hookup by the Techs for it.
It also will have only one operation and status indicator with more colors than the three of the original GG has with only blue, amber, and off for no color.
And the GG2 It will use the EPS10 power adapter as on the H25 receiver instead of the current 12v used by the GG1.
Here are some screen shots;
Pretty cool, for more flexibility in hookup I guess ...

===Story=== With ''Mo' Better Blues'', the story of a young trumpeter's rise to jazz-world stardom, Spike Lee set out to counter Clint Eastwood's cliché-ridden biopic of Charlie Parker in ''Bird''. But the final product, a slick, glossy drama (with hip-hop jazz provided by Gangstarr no less), is just as superficial as the numerous Alger-esque stories of music stardom to which movie audiences are accustomed. Denzel Washington gives a typically charismatic performance as the trumpeter in question, as does Wesley Snipes as his sax-playing rival. And as with most Spike Lee films, there are numerous solid performers in small roles such as Bill Nunn, Latin-music star Rubén Blades, and comedian Robin Harris. One character, however, attracted unwanted attention: John Turturro's role as an unscrupulous music-industry exec. Critics called the Turturro character, who is at once money hungry, swarthy, and perpetually shrouded in darkness, a classic anti-Semitic caricature. But the charge seems almost irrelevant in Spike Lee's cartoonish, overstylized world of impossibly hunky jazzmen, curvaceous hangers-on, and incessant bebop.

Zach Zwinak--Fullback--6'2"--225--4.5--Zwinak is a big time difference maker at fullback that should develop into a guy that gives the backfield options. Not to set the bar too high so early for him, but Zwinak is more of an Aaron Harris type fullback than he is BranDon Snow, Matt Hahn, or Dan Lawlor.
Zwinak has the size and speed to be a huge weapon for Penn State out of the backfield. For his size, he is very quick and has great feet, which make him a very intimidating runner. He shows the ability to cut and weave his way in the backfield and find the hole, and can leave defenses trailing him. But once he is in the open field, he is not trying to avoid contact, he is looking for it. His stiff arm is very impressive and he knows how to use it perfectly, or he can just straight up run over defenders.
His legs are always moving and when you think the play is over, Zwinak appears out of a mob of defenders. He shows the ability to hit the hole very quick or bounce it out, and shows a good side step doing that. Zwinak's blocking is just as impressive; he delivers punishing lead blocks and shows great toughness, and aggression doing it. He flashes good hands receiving the pitch, and in some camp film I saw, does a good job of catching the ball over his shoulder as well.
I am interested in what the coaches will do with Zwinak early in his career. With Joe Suhey and Michael Zordich already at fullback, Zwinak will have to really impress when he gets to Happy Valley in the summer. A redshirt is possible, but I think the coaches will eventually play him as the season goes on. Zwinak has too much talent at fullback to not play early in his career, and I expect him to become a fixture in the backfield, sooner than later.
Zwinak is the last of the commits for the 2010 class.

Hi there,
Thanks a lot for all your responses. I have a couple more questions in mind. What would be the best program to start then? The PBF book? What I am afraid is if I continue to lose weight with eating primal with its benefits that I love, I do not want to become a flabby thin guy....
Also, when you guys talk about fasting, can I just like start this whenever I want. For example, I plan to try tommorow morning and not eat before lunch time...is this healthy? When you guys say if I am fat adapted or else I will have so much hunger, how do I know my body has changed and is now using fat as a source of energy instead of waiting for the sugar?
thank you very much!

Mathematics is the study of numbers, structures, and associated relationships using rigorously defined literal, numerical and operational symbols. Given certain conditions about systems of numbers or other objects, mathematicians derive conclusions based on logical arguments. Basic mathematical skills enable a person to solve numerical problems encountered in daily life, and more advanced skills have numerous applications in the physical, social and life sciences.
The mathematics curriculum includes courses that range from basic skills through differential equations. The basic skills and associate degree level courses provide students with the mathematical preparation necessary for study in other disciplines, as well as for degree and transfer requirements. Successful completion of this curriculum a mathematics degree will develop competence in mathematics through differential and integral calculus, providing an adequate background for employment in many technological and scientific areas as well as providing a firm foundation for students planning advanced study in mathematics, engineering, or physical sciences.

Overdue for Entry - CircleJerkBoys
Models: Hunter Vance and Alexander Garrett
Studio: Circle Jerk Boys
We couldn't get enough of the sexy boy from Tampa last month so we had him come back to give us enough Hunter Vance to go 'round. For those of you unfamiliar with this thick sex pot, Hunter is 25, a native Floridian and an equal opportunity fucker. "Any moist hole" are the words he lives by and with that defined body and boyish smile we're sure he gets plenty of 'takers'—literally. He is single, upbeat with a roar of a laugh that's just infectious. All these just add to his charm. The second half of this scenario is 33yo Alexander Garrett. Alexander made his debut on MenOver30 recently and he was well received. Hunter had his first sexual experience at 14 and Alex a bit older at 18. He is 100% gay and blushes when he admits he loves to bottom mostly. Hunter was watching soft porn on HBO and experimenting with anything he could find in the fridge behind his mother's back. By the way, he cautions to stay away from carrots (kinda cold) and if you're gonna use a banana —make it a green one. (...pause for a visual...) It's always the ones with the innocent faces that hide the darkest (and the most interesting) secrets. This should be a hot time with the late bloomer and the Randy Refrigerator Ranger! Hi Ho Silver—that was so gay!

PENNSVILLE TWP. -- The recently-introduced township budget for 2009 here includes a 6-cent hike in the local purpose tax.
The proposed budget totaling $14,794,544.54 is more than $200,000 higher then last year's municipal spending plan of $14,509428.
The local tax levy also increased by nearly $500,000. The new tax levy is $4,282,464 while the 2008 tax levy was set at $3,790,102.
The state cut $170,000 from consolidated municipal tax relief dropping the state aid coming to the township this year to $6,656,357.
The local tax rate increased 6 cents because of the cut in state aid, officials here say. The 2009 tax rate is 56 cents per $100 of assessed property value while last year's tax rate was 50 cents per $100 of assessed property value.
Mayor Richard Barnhart said this comes out to $112 extra per year on a property assessed at the township average of $175,000.
According to Barnhart, the budget was partially went up due to the increase in salaries.
"The salaries were already locked in with the unions and there was nothing we could change about it," said Barnhart.
He said they had looked into offering early retirement for some employees, but the state wouldn't allow the municipality to take such a course of action.
"We had to increase the levy tax because of the loss in revenue," he said, referring to state aid. Barnhart blamed the loss in state aid to a decline in local ratables caused by four properties in the township becoming tax-exempt.
Barnhart said it was tough doing the budget because at first officials were $250,000 over the levy cap. However, because state aid was cut the levy cap was raised.
Department operating budgets were cut by 10 percent.
"It was tough, we didn't want to lay off anyone. Because we cut the operating budgets, at this point we won't have to lay off. It's just going to be tough to do everything we need to do this year," said Barnhart.
The township committee will be holding a public hearing on the municipal budget on May 7 at town hall on North Broadway at 7 p.m.

The 2 millionth 'like' was posted by a fan based in India. In fact, India has more Rolls-Royce fans than any other country in the world. Pakistan and the United States take 2nd and 3rd place respectively.
In a personal letter posted on Facebook, Torsten Müller-Ötvös, Chief Executive Officer, Rolls?Royce Motor Cars, wrote, "Thank you to each and every one of you who has helped us reach a landmark two million fans. Through Facebook we can share sneak previews, bespoke insights and captivating stories from the Home of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars with you, wherever you are in the world." He concluded, "I am excited to be sharing the journey with you!"
Rolls-Royce Facebook page was created in July 2010. It's intent has been to broaden brand appeal, and bring it to a new and contemporary audience. Rolls-Royce Ghost and Wraith models have successfully done just that since their market launch.

In the morning, the sun came out and the chert glimmered and I felt renewed. I drove into town and discovered that Jackie had found her own renewal, as well as a place to wash her sleeping bag. We shared caffeinated beverages, toasted the second half of our adventure, and got back on the road.
Back at warp speed, it seemed possible to live two parallel lives: that of the nitro-powered road warrior, fueled by petrol and tiny cans of joy, and that of the contemplative backpacker, enriched by a prickly-pear blossom and the wind swooshing downcanyon. We could start the day 5 miles from the nearest car, and then enjoy roadside Navajo frybread with pinto beans for lunch. We sped past Monument Valley, snapping Polaroids and singing along with old Morrissey songs. Everything flew by in such an easygoing blur that time seemed elongated.
A classic Canyonlands trek unfolded in slow motion. Jackie and I hiked a 9-mile loop through the aptly named Lost Canyon. We dropped into a slickrock bowl with red and white color bands as delineated as Neapolitan ice cream. We brushed past overgrown cottonwoods and ended the day listening to silence in an otherwise empty amphitheater.
At Petrified Forest National Park, the solitude was more literal. Thanks to the hard work of scoundrel fossil-hunters, the rangers lock the gates each evening. And on this searing early July day, we were the only registered backcountry visitors. After a short cross-country hike, we set up camp atop the pastel badlands in the southern precinct. We sipped Shiraz and watched the late-day light refract over the wildfire-hazy western horizon–kind of like an L.A. sunset but without all the moral ambiguity. It was odd to be there, locked in a national park, the only witnesses to such a beautiful show.

Even though all of the NCAA tournament games are played on neutral courts, as they should be, it is still interesting to think of the rabid fanbases that support the teams in the tournament, especially the 16 still left standing.
Among the schools with a chance to win this year's national championship are some of the country's most loyal basketball fanbases: Duke, Kentucky, Marquette and Butler, to name several.
As the tournament continues, it will be intriguing to see which fanbases are most loyal and willing to make the long trek to see their teams compete for a spot in the Final Four.

I exited Citi Field on Wednesday cursing Jerry Manuel for allowing Pedro Feliciano to pitch to Albert Pujols and Matt Holliday while the recently-effective Raul Valdes idled in the bullpen.
I entered Citi Field almost 8 hours earlier, summoned by the Mets with a generous invitation to join other prominent Mets bloggers and the media on the field for batting practice.
It was a very long Wednesday.
Short of the win that eluded the Mets thanks to a few brief appearances of Jerryball, I took a great amount of satisfaction in watching the Mets lose what amounted to be a good loss (if there is such a thing) and a moral victory (even if David Wright diminishes the value in that). Johan Santana ended up pitching 5 1/3 innings after summoning his inner-Oliver Perez in the first. The lineup bailed out Santana by finding 7 runs over the next 8 innings, which included Carlos Beltran's first home run of the year,
It's easier to live with that realization after seeing the machinations of the Mets organization at work from that batting practice experience to the time I exited the Jackie Robinson Rotunda. The players looked light and ready to play. The Media Relations team gave us plenty of room to breathe and take in the sights from a perspective few fans get to see. Even security and the on-site medics stepped up in the bottom of the 9th to help a fan in the next section from mine who appeared in dire straits and in need of immediate help. They were there. They covered those bases as well.
When I rose from the ranks of anonymous Mets fan to replace Ryan McConnell as your friendly neighborhood Mets blogger back in December of 2007, I merely sought to add my two cents to the Mets dialogue that was growing daily in the blogosphere. I didn't want to simply micromanage games, hit you over the head with stats, or evangelize the tenets of grission and grit. I just wanted to talk Mets baseball with likeminded folks on any level they deemed fit.
While I sat in the Mets dugout yesterday next to such Mets blogosphere luminaries as Matt Cerrone of MetsBlog, Eric Simon and Mark Himmelstein of Amazin' Avenue, Greg Prince and Jason Fry of
I don't know where this goes from here. Though I'm perfectly content for now to endorse the beat writers trailing the team in close proximity while I look on a safe distance away, I'm just as anxious to see how this road might open direct channels to demand accountability and solicit information from a team that asks so much of our time and resources while leaving us often with little more than a constant fear of heartbreak. We might never truly understand why the Mets do what they do, but maybe this little wedge of access can provide new insight.
I'm not sure if I can go back to how I followed baseball and the Mets back in 2007. I caught a brief but closer glimpse of how the sausage is made. I can't ignore what I've seen and experienced. And I'd rather keep being taken to task by you over my inexplicable devotion to Ryan Church or crusade against Jeff Francoeur than to remain silent.
I enjoy baseball because a truly memorable experience can occur in addition to or, if it's your night, in concert with a truly memorable baseball game while you look on with good company. That's why I'll remember July 28, 2010 as more than just a very long Wednesday and another crummy loss.
But it only gets better from here on out.

A pickup truck sits atop a tow truck at the scene of an accident on Trans-Canada Highway west of Flat Bay Tuesday. A provincial government paint crew worker was killed and three people were injured in the accident. — TC Media file photo
As the investigation continues into the death of a paint crew worker with the Department of Works and Transportation, Const. Matthew Christie of RCMP traffic services west said it is not believed the accident was the result of a medical issue.
While he could not yet release the name of the deceased, he did say the man is a resident of Cape Ray.
Christie said an autopsy, performed at Western Memorial Regional Hospital in Corner Brook, revealed that the man died as a result of being struck by the vehicle.
He said the three people who were sent to hospital following the accident Tuesday — two in the private pickup that ran into the paint crew worker and a man inside a Department of Transportation and Works pickup truck that was also struck — were all released from Sir Thomas Roddick Hospital in Stephenville after being treated for minor injuries Tuesday.
In addition to the investigation by analysts with RCMP traffic services west, Occupational Health and Safety is also investigating.

Frank Ocean teases the masses with a snippet of new material. The much too brief audio is accompanied with a visual that moves along the shape of a car. More interestingly, the clip concluded with the words, CHANNEL ORANGE 7.17.12. The lyrics indicate that it could be his song "Pyramids." We can also take things a little bit further and start assuming that this is a trailer for his upcoming new full-length that he announced back in January. Watch and listen above.
Update: The NJ Underground delivers some interesting information and hints at news that Mr. Ocean will embark on a Channel Orange tour this July. Dates at San Francisco's The Warfield Theatre and Philadelphia's Union Transfer have already been announced. Stay tuned.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: McCain believes in snap decisions
To the editor:
Over the last eight years, George Bush has become well- known for using his gut instincts in making snap decisions, often resulting in grave consequences, like the death of more than 4,000 American men and women.
John McCain, who just turned 72, wrote in his book "Worth Fighting For" that, "I make them (decisions) as quickly as I can, quicker than the other fellow, if I can. Often my haste is a mistake, but I live with the consequences without complaint."
It appears that the selection of Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate was one of these quick decisions based solely on the fact that she's a woman and a Christian conservative with very little knowledge of and no experience in foreign affairs.
The current life expectancy of an American male is 75 years.

Many cold-tolerant crops are good candidates for fall planting and overwintering. Always look for the most cold-hardy varieties of each crop. Direct seed in fall and watch them to determine whether they germinate then or in late winter. If they germinate and grow quickly, they may be killed by winter cold; in that case, plan to seed later next year.
Our research teams have recommended the following varieties for overwintering:

Technical Notes
This wine is from United States, California region, Napa County sub-region and Napa Valley appellation. Since its inaugural vintage in 1985, Decoy, Duckhorn Vineyards sister label, has taken an important place in the Duckhorn family of wines. Like the wines of Duckhorn Vineyards, Decoy is produced from classic Bordeaux varietals. With a new composition every vintage, this unique red is blended from a changing combination of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot to create an engaging Napa Valley red wine.
Crafted to drink upon release, Decoy benefits from the rigorous standards established for producing Duckhorn Vineyards estate wine program. Vineyard lots used in making Decoy are harvested, vinified and barrel-aged separately so that winemaker Mark Beringer has a full palette of flavors to choose from for the final blend.
In addition, the Decoy varies by vintage. The harvest and the quality of available fruit determine the quantity of Decoy made in a given year. As a result, this well-structured red wine offers classic Bordeaux varietal flavors such as black cherry and plum, backed by notes of cedar, leather, tobacco and pepper.
The wines label features a decoy carved by Richard Fresh-Air Dick Janson (1872-1951) during the 1930s. Janson was a premier carver whose decoys are the most recognizable of all Pacific Coast carvings. Artist Michael Allard of Zimbabwe created a painting of this Pintail duck from the original carving. Both works reside in the Duckhorn Vineyards Estate House.April 6, 2005Decoy Seasonal NewsThe 2002 Decoy Napa Valley Red Wine is a unique blend of Bordeaux grapes... CABERNET SAUVIGNON Wine

Softer, smoother, more beautiful looking hands can now be yours with Isomers Hand Cream!
Apply a small amount and smooth on to the hands as needed.
Please view the above tab for ingredient information.
Why Moisturize?
Everyone can benefit from using a moisturizer after cleansing. The key is finding the appropriate moisturizer based on your skin type. Moisturizers seal moisture into the skin, so the effect is hydrating while also inhibiting evaporation. Many moisturizers contain active ingredients that deliver vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and skin supporting compounds to provide therapeutic benefits that sooth, protect and ultimately delay the onset of early aging.
Eye creams are optional, but may be desirable for those with dry or aging skin as a welcome addendum to a moisturizer. Some individuals have very delicate eye areas that are more susceptible to wrinkling, dark circles and puffiness. An eye cream can help address these specific concerns with intense moisture and a high concentration of active ingredients.
How to Choose a Moisturizer
The oilier your complexion, the lighter and more liquid your moisturizer should be. Some moisturizers even have oil free ingredients that still serve to moisturize the skin without adding oil. Conversely, dry or aging skin requires a more moisturizing-nourishing preparation. Use a moisturizer labeled with your skin type or specific skin concern. If you live in a particularly harsh climate, consider wearing a more moisturizing face cream during the winter and switch to a lighter formula during warmer months.
Night creams tend to be thicker and more moisturizing than day creams. It is generally recommended to have separate moisturizers simply for the fact that you will want a day cream with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF). This will provide you with added protection from sun damage that ultimately leads to premature aging.
Based on the amount of time you spend outside on any particular day, you might want to wear a moisturizer designed for outdoor use with a significantly higher SPF. You must also factor in how easily your skin burns and take precautions to protect your skin with a sufficient SPF. As a general rule, it is recommended that your day moisturizer should have at least 15-20 SPF, and if you spend more time outdoors, consider a moisturizer with 30+ SPF.
How to Use Moisturizer
After you wash your face and apply toner or a serum (optional), scoop out enough moisturizer to comfortably cover your face and neck area. Using your finger tips, rub it in using upward strokes, making sure to moisturize the neck, décolletage and earlobes. In order to prevent streaks, allow your moisturizer to penetrate before applying foundation.

Anti Bacterial Filter
The Anti-Bacterial Filter combines three effects in one: anti-bacteria, anti-virus and anti-allergen protection to provide clean air.
With this function, there's no unpleasant odour when the unit starts up. That's because the fan remains off momentarily, while the source of the odour inside the air conditioner is suppressed.
An Air Conditioner&s performance depends largely on its condenser, which can take a beating from exposure to salty air, wind, dust and other corrosive factors. Panasonic has found a way to triple the life of our condensers, using a layer of our original anti-rust coating. This special coating lets you enjoy more years of reliable comfort plus extra economy over the long run.
