Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (86 votes).
In short: Perfect weather, probably a good one for first-timersIn full: A race very much of two halves, the city then the park. Great PB potential and plenty of great goodies at the end, including Marmite on toast and Tetley tea. The only problems that need to be rectified are: toilets - no way near good enough for an event of this scale, and the technical t-shirt - one of the ugliest pieces of sports clothing ever designed, it will go straight to the charity bin.Date of review: October 11, 2010
Date of review: October 11, 2010
In short: Great first time Half MarathonIn full: Loved the route, and running past Big Ben chiming 10am is pretty special!Yes, there's a lot of doubling back in Hyde Park, but that didn't bother me and I thought it was a great race, and a great introduction to the distance - really friendly and well organised! Date of review: October 11, 2010
In short: Great for first time half marathon runnersIn full: The Royal Parks Half Marathon was my first race and i loved it. Only thing is they need more unrinals as the toilets were a bit of a joke. Date of review: October 11, 2010
In short: Great route with PB potentional and excellent organisationIn full: It's one of the best routes around London with streets closed to traffic and the beauty of the parks. An incredible amount of organisation and effort from the volunteers meant for water stations full to brimming with Lucozade and water. Sweets towards the end were welcomed.Yes, it got crowded in the narrow parts but that's to be expected from 15,000 entrants! With so many people, yes, more Portaloos were required - at least another 50 please. This is all part and parcel of staging a major running event in London.A flat course, a new PB for me and a glorious day reminiscent of summer.Well done to everyone and thanks for a special event.Date of review: October 11, 2010
In short: Just superbDate of review: October 11, 2010
In short: Well organised scenic race but big and too MP3 playersIn full: As others have said this is an expensive race but it's understandable given such a big field and the fact it's central London. I didn't experience any of the congestion others have mentioned and thought the course was well marshalled. Lots of water and freebies to be had.If you like big races then this is definitely one of the better ones.I got there about 45 minutes before the start and only had to queue for a couple of minutes for the loo and not at all to drop my bag - inevitably the later you are the more queues there will be.It was enjoyable to run through central London, past some of the sights and through the parks.Definitely a PB race - almost pancake flat.The only thing that will make me think about entering it again is the number of people running with MP3 players. There is really no place for them in races, they are dangerous and unsociable.Date of review: October 11, 2010
In short: I remember now why I promised never to do a Hyde Park run againIn full: After LUL shutting Hyde Park corner station (well done, another classic from them), I still turned up early enough that I got my baggage dealt with immediately and didn't even have to queue for a portaloo.As usual, the fast foody places were open and the smell of fried food wasn't exactly in keeping with the run. However, the freebies handed out by cereal bar people, some free bananas and water were very welcome and much appreciated (thank you).Having to queue for the toilet again at 8.50am, I didn't get inside one until 9.20am. The lack of toilets is just unacceptable at an event of this scale.The scenery was better out on the road - running past Big Ben when it struck 10am was a highlight, seeing the Millenium wheel etc. Didn't see much of the parks, were pretty dull. And I dislike Hyde Park for running due to previous runs which have been badly organised and it brings back bad memories! Having the speakers about half a mile from the finish line was off-putting as I could hear them shouting out "you're nearly there" etc, when we weren't, they were half a mile ahead of the speakers!On the plus side, the finishing stretch was a HUGE welcome relief from the ones I've had to do there before - from the other direction. At least yesterday's one was slightly downhill - thank goodness!The majority of the crowds and marshalls were encouraging but there weren't so many cheers out on the road.I think this is a good race but personally, I won't ever do such a commercialised run again and definitely not Hyde Park.Date of review: October 11, 2010
In short: Pricey but a day to rememberIn full: This is certainly not a cheap race, but luckily the organization made up for that. Plenty of Lucozade/ water along the course, we were offered percy pigs at the last few miles. Plenty of freebies at the end, the queues for the baggage area were not that bad. Loved the entertainment and general support from the crowd was amazing although I would have added a bit of music at the start just to lift people's spirits.The course was not perfect for a PB, at times the course was very narrow which made it impossible to overtake, I would define it more as a fun day out rather than a race.If it was not for the freebies I would have described the fee as "robbery" but overall everything was excellent and loved the technical t-shirt made of bamboo and the wooden medal! Toilet facilities were ok, urinals for guys were a perfect extra but I would have added another row of toilets though and I would also mention to the organizers that apart from also replacing toilet paper may be they should also replace the hand sanitizer gel once finished?I would definitely register again next year!!Date of review: October 11, 2010
In short: I love this eventIn full: Yes, it is an expensive race to enter, but the route is amazing. Well manned water stations, clear signage and great marshalling. I will definately be back!Date of review: October 11, 2010

We made it into
"Britain's 10 greenest communities"
We're delighted to announce that our second micro hydro co-operative share offer has been a success and is now closed. If you'd like to find out about future share offers, please sign up to our newsletter.
While we haven't yet raised our full target amount of £690,000, we have secured well over the minimum £550,000 we need to proceed with the project.
We're now seeking loan finance to fund the balance (see widget, right, for our latest tally).
The project aims to build four small-scale micro hydro schemes in the Brecon Beacons National Park. The schemes will generate some 355MWh of renewable electricity a year – enough to power 90 homes and displace around 158 tonnes of CO2 a year.
They'll also generate income, with the profits shared equally between Members and a special Community Fund that will be used to support further sustainable projects.
For Members, this means a projected return of 5% per annum, averaged over 20 years. Plus there's potential for attractive tax relief benefits through the Enterprise Investment Scheme.
Meanwhile, the Community Fund should receive some £550,000 over the 20 years, giving us the chance to develop other projects that will make a real and lasting difference.

John L. Perry
A Military Coup Here? Really?
Apparently, someone named John L. Perry posted a blog post at NewsMax about a military coup that was quickly taken down. Bob Owens at Confederate Yankee has the whole article and a disclaimer from Newsmax as well. It has, of course, set the left on fire. What Perry wrote deserves to be seen for no other reason than its absurdity. And while the left thumps the right over this "whack job", keep in mind Perry's biography says he worked for both LBJ and Carter Administrations and LeRoy Collins, a former Democratic Governor of Florida.
Here are the salient parts of Perry's blog post:
There is a remote, although gaining, possibility America's military will intervene as a last resort to resolve the "Obama problem." Don't dismiss it as unrealistic.
America isn't the Third World. If a military coup does occur here it will be civilized. That it has never happened doesn't mean it wont. Describing what may be afoot is not to advocate it.
Will the day come when patriotic general and flag officers sit down with the president, or with those who control him, and work out the national equivalent of a "family intervention," with some form of limited, shared responsibility?
Imagine a bloodless coup to restore and defend the Constitution through an interim administration that would do the serious business of governing and defending the nation. Skilled, military-trained, nation-builders would replace accountability-challenged, radical-left commissars. Having bonded with his twin teleprompters, the president would be detailed for ceremonial speech-making.
Military intervention is what Obama's exponentially accelerating agenda for "fundamental change" toward a Marxist state is inviting upon America. A coup is not an ideal option, but Obama's radical ideal is not acceptable or reversible.
Unthinkable? Then think up an alternative, non-violent solution to the Obama problem. Just don't shrug and say, "We can always worry about that later."
In the 2008 election, that was the wistful, self-indulgent, indifferent reliance on abnegation of personal responsibility that has sunk the nation into this morass.
A non-violent solution to the "Obama problem"? It is called an election you idiot. You cut the rug out from under him by taking the majority in Congress away from the Democrats in 2010 and then you do a voter's "coup" in 2012 and elect someone else to the presidency.
How does one think that a military coup would put us in a better place Constitutionally? He's certainly done his best to dress up those who would be involved in such a coup as the second coming of the founding fathers, but it is much more likely that wouldn't be the case if an actual military coup took place.
Look, I'm no happier with Obama than Perry, but a military coup as a solution? Heaven forbid.
The military coup nonsense is just a delusional fantasy. In fact I'd rate the chance of a military coup here on the same level as an inexhaustible and non-polluting energy source being found within the next 30 seconds. How this boob figures that it is "gaining possibility" is beyond me. Unless he's polled the upper leadership of the military recently in such a way that allows him to discern this "gain", he's blowing this out his posterior. Certainly there may be many in the military who are not happy with Barack Obama. But that was also true when it came to George Bush. And Bill Clinton. But, the military is not about to engage in some vast conspiratorial effort to "restore and defend the Constitution" any time soon. They have a pretty full plate right now with 2 wars and all the other missions they carry on throughout the world.
There may indeed be a true Constitutional crisis at some point in our future where such a thing is actually contemplated, but this isn't it.
I'm sure someone, in defense of Perry, is going to claim that this was all a farce and just something thrown out there in good fun to solicit a reaction. If so, then you have to wonder why it "disappeared" from Newsmax's website faster than a bottle of beer in a frat house. It was a stupid post, with no basis in fact and injurious to Newsmax's credibility. They apparently figured that out quickly and issued a statement in which support for the post is not at all evident (something TNR never did during the Beauchamp debacle – there by further tarnishing their reputation). Good for them.
Owens does wonder something I too thought about:
The simple fact of the matter is that author seems to have come unhinged, and for reasons perhaps structural to the site's editorial process, the column made it to print without a sanity check by the editors.
Any bet that will change?
And you also have to wonder what a guy who lists work with three democratic administrations is doing writing blog posts for Newsmax. That and why he's now so disillusioned with a Democratic president?

Politics everywhere
To the Journal editor:
For those who think that Michigan's Natural Resources Commission can be counted upon to make its wildlife management decisions based strictly on science, consider that the NRC is not accountable to voters nor immune to politics.
Michigan has two of the leading biologists in the country and they were ignored and not even asked to participate in the decision. John Vucetich took it upon himself to speak publicly about the hunt.
The NRC is dominated and influenced by pro-hunting organizations from inside and outside of Michigan. The commission is an extension of the governor, who appoints them.
Only one current member of the NRC has a science background.
The current legislation-law as soon Gov. Rick Snyder signs it-is about more than wolves. It is about allowing a minority of citizens and the legislature to disregard and eliminate the constitutional right of the majority to have a say in wildlife management in Michigan.
When a mourning dove hunt was instituted in Lower Michigan in 2004, before the successful (2 to 1) voter referendum that stopped it, the bag limit was 15 doves per day! How scientific does that sound?
What was the science behind the dove hunt? The only science being used in the referendum/wolf issue is political science.

The Trigger X Slop Hopper is made to swim its way through grass and slop, coaxing strikes out of bass waiting to ambush prey. Offering a compact, streamlined baitfish profile, the Trigger X Slop Hopper also features a phthalate-free soft plastic composition that eliminates the "plastic" smell found in other soft plastics. Its paddle tail generates a tremendous amount of thump as well - much more than other similar baits. Available in a variety of colors, each Trigger X Slop Hopper is loaded with UltraBite Aggression Pheromones for additional fish attraction. This custom blend of aggression and fear pheromones mimics the natural predator versus prey response - triggering a predator's feeding instinct.

Comments: This is the greatest soft bodied swimbait on the market, period. Very durable, just the perfect amount of action, comes through cover well, and very versatile. I'll either swim it on a screw-lock hook or even better use it as a jig trailer. The only thing I don't like is I wish they had a few more colors. Otherwise no complaints!
From: Tom: MN 11/23/14
Comments: insane bait. use it in germany for walleye and perch. caught my pb pikeperch (81 cm) and some perch up to 46 cm with it. Fished it with a simple jig head and kickback rig. just love it.
From: Patrick: Germany 6/16/14

(Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) - Justin Flores (Glenville, N.Y. / USA Judo National Training Site at the Jason Morris Judo Center) won his first two Worlds matches in the 66kg division on Saturday, picking up the only two wins for Team USA.
Flores drew a first-round bye before his match against Jean-Rene Badrick (GBR) who, at 17-years-old, is one of Great Britain 's best up-and-coming athletes.
Flores and Badrick have fought twice during the past year with Badrick winning both matches at the British Open in January and in the finals of the U.S. Open in 2006.
This time, Badrick started off quickly again, throwing Flores for a yuko in the first twenty seconds of the match. Badrick backed off a bit, picking up a penalty, and Flores became the aggressor, throwing Badrick for ippon (instant win) with just over a minute remaining.
In his next match, Flores pinned Carlos Figueroa (ESA) for a koka (smallest points). The pin was called off, but Flores locked it in again, pinning Figueroa for ippon.
Flores fought #1-ranked Yordanis Arencibia (CUB), a World and Olympic medalist in the third match. Arencibia came into the match after two overtime wins and was clearly tired. Flores took the lead when Arencibia committed a penalty and he looked set to hold on to it until Arencibia threw him for a waza-ari (half-point) in the last minute. Arencibia looked fatigued for the remainder of the match, picking up another penalty in the last 10 seconds, but Flores couldn't score.
Arencibia advanced to the semifinals, pulling Flores into the repechage. Flores started off well, but got caught and thrown for ippon by Aristidis Kotanidis (GRE) in the first minute of the match.
"We're all very pleased with how the team has done so far," said Coach Jason Morris (Glenville, N.Y. ) "Almost everyone has really performed up to and beyond what we could have expected and there have been some great wins. I think our program is continuing to improve and things will only get better from here, but really solid performances are paving the way for our younger players to build on as well in future years."
Valerie Gotay (Harlingen, Texas / USA Judo National Training Site at Harlingen / 57kg) had one of the most difficult draws of any division, fighting the top two players in the world. Gotay was down by a penalty in her match against Isabel Fernandez (ESP), a World and Olympic Champion and the current #1-ranked player in the division, when Fernandez was penalized for stalling in the last minute, sending the match into Golden Score.
Fernandez was the aggressor in the overtime session and made most of the attacks before throwing Gotay for a waza-ari after a total of eight minutes.
Fernandez defeated her next three opponents to pull Gotay through to the loser's pool where she lost on three penalties to Sabrina Filzmoser (AUT), the 2005 World medalist who is currently ranked second in the world.
After a first-round bye, Pan Am Games Champion Ryan Reser (Colorado Springs, Colo. / USA Judo National Training Site at the Olympic Training Center / 73kg) led by a penalty against Sainjargal Nyamochir (MGL), but Nyamochir threw him for ippon midway through the match.
Nyamochir was thrown for ippon in the last 30 seconds by Bryan van Dijk (NED), 2006 European Championships bronze medalist, eliminating Reser.
Carrie Chandler (Glenville, N.Y. / NYAC / USA Judo National Training Site at the Jason Morris Judo Center / 52kg) received an early shido for stalling in her opening match against Antonia Cuomo (ITA) and was thrown for a waza-ari a minute later. Cuomo guarded her lead and received a stalling penalty, then later increased her attacks and threw Chandler for ippon with 18 seconds left in the match.
Kyung Ok Kim (KOR) threw Cuomo for ippon in the next match, eliminating Chandler from the tournament.

When we look at the Gulf Coast today, it does not look as though 11 Exxon Valdez's crashed into the coast."was to keep it off the shore, then first of all, all efforts needed to be put into stopping the flow of oil. Until you can stop the oil, you want to collect the oil. You want to skim the oil, you want to burn it if you have to. You use all the mechanical methods you can to gather up as much of the oil as possible. And when you have exhausted those efforts, and there's still oil that's going to be released, what do you do?
It makes no sense to be assessing one chemical at a time when there are over 100,000 chemicals in commerce."according to at least one Nobel laureate in chemistry, there's potentially 10 to the 63rd new chemicals yet to be invented of modest molecular weight. The idea that this chemical-by-chemical approach is giving us the kind of information we need in a timely way that is actionable and that is going to protect people's lives is probably not the best long-term model for effective environmental protection and protection of human health.
Green chemistry is about as fundamental and as crosscutting as you can imagine."used in all of the products we use so that it's more sustainable and less harmful to humans and the environment. It's about as fundamental and crosscutting as you can imagine. In the same way that these chemicals and materials can be designed so they're of a particular color, whether it's red or blue, or whether a plastic is brittle or flexible, you can now have the beginnings of how to design these materials so they're not going to be toxic, they're not going to persist in the environment, they're not going to bioaccumulate in our bodies, and they're not going to interfere with reproduction or neurological development.
Every major pharmaceutical company is now looking at how they can use green chemistry."up at McGill University who has demonstated that no, you don't have to use these exotic solvents, these toxic solvents. You can do these things right in water, and you have better selectivity, less wastes, and lower cross-toxicity, and by demonstrating that, he has shown the pharmaceutical industry how to dramatically reduce its waste. In the pharmaceutical industry historically, you would generate a pound of product while you generate a thousand pounds, a ton, of waste. A ton of waste per pound of product is not ideal, especially if some of that waste itself is hazardous or if you're making an anti-cancer drug, and you are generating a carcinogenic waste. It's not a good equation...

Sidi Women's Triathlon T3 Carbon Air Cycling Shoe - 2015
Product Description
The NEW T3 Carbon AIR features a super-perforated triathlon-specific upper for maximum drainage and ventilation, with a plush, brushed interior for sock-free comfort for fast transitions and supreme comfort on the bike leg. Like all SIDI carbon soles, the Eleven Carbon/Composite Sole® is designed for maximum stiffness and power transfer, but it's also engineered with a small degree of controlled flex in the toe area, which relieves plantar tendon strain during the pedal stroke. Translation: The T3 gives you legs on the bike, and saves your legs for the run.
The Eleven Carbon/Composite Sole® is engineered for high-performance, high-mileage cyclists, with stiffness for power transfer and some controlled flex in the toe area that biomechanically relieves stress in the plantar tendon. This makes it ideal for triathlon as it helps promote circulation and isn't as punishing on the foot, leaving you more for the run. The Eleven Carbon/Composite Sole® is extremely stiff. In SIDI's rigidity test, in which a 50 kg (Eleven0 lb) weight is suspended from one end of the sole, it deflected only 2.4 mm—20% stiffer than the previous Carbon Composite sole's 3 mm deflection.The Eleven Carbon/Composite Sole® is constructed from layered 3k weave carbon fiber and injected carbon fiber in a matrix of Nylon 12, a mechanically stable material that is completely non-absorbent to water, so it won't change rigidity from exposure to heat, humidity or from aging. It is an exceptionally light, stiff, durable sole.
- Eleven Carbon/Composite Sole injected carbon fiber sole reduces weight without sacrificing stiffness and efficiency
- NEW AIR perforated Triathlon-specific upper has a plush, brushed interior with minimal seams for sock-free comfort, and vented for air flow and water drainage
- Notched top strap opens away from the drive train
- Large heel loop for fast transitions
- SIDI Heel Cup
- Replaceable heel pad
- Compatibility: Look, Speedplay, Dura-Ace, Time and SPD-SL

Short and Sweet: No. 11-ranked Lynx pancake Eagles in 3 sets
WEBSTER CITY – A clear sign things are going according to plan: When players can pose for a family photograph on the court between sets.
It may have made head coach Jess Howard roll her eyes when sisters Kaylee and Taylor Schnathorst and Molly Gilbert put their arms around each other for the photo moments before the first point of the final set last night inside the WCHS gymnasium, but if her players continue to play like this she'll allow as many photos as they want.
"Molly's my best friend and she was over at our house all summer, so it was our chance to have a kind of family photo," Kaylee Schnathorst said while laughing after she helped 11th-ranked (Class 4A) Webster City obliterate Eagle Grove in three sets.
Schnathorst, a senior outside hitter, blasted 20 kills in 29 chances – her efficiency was a staggering .655 – as the Lynx (18-5, 3-1 NCC) outscored the Eagles 75-29 in match points in their 25-11, 25-11, 25-7 rout that took just 53 minutes.
WCHS made it a priority to get Schnathorst touches from various spots on the court and she delivered. Running attacks off back sets, back row darts and her bread-and-butter lashes from the left side of the court all spelled no chance for Eagle Grove (1-24, 0-5 NCC), which dropped its 10th straight match.
"We ran a different kind of offense to see if it wold work," Schnathorst said. "It was a good night to get some things done and it was a good bounce-back night from (the loss to Iowa Falls-Alden last week). It gives us some more confidence."
WCHS hit .485 as a team against the over-matched Eagle defense. The Lynx made just five errors in 68 swats and delivered 38 kills. Morgan Gourley smacked seven; Hannah Myers, Molly Gilbert and Alex Dinsdale all finished with four.
Schnathorst made a statement from the opening point and she pounded eight kills in the first set. Five of Eagle Grove's 11 points in the stanza came on Lynx service errors.
Schnathorst crushed seven more kills in the second set – a frame in which WCHS looked at its one and only deficit of the match at 2-1. The Lynx scored 10 the next 12 points to forge ahead for good.
A service ace by Ashley Price pushed the cushion to 23-10, and Gourley and Schnathorst finished it off with back-to-back kills.
WCHS scored the opening six points of the third set. Eagle Grove finally got on the board and then the Lynx rattled off seven more points to lead 13-1. From there it was only a matter of time and it ended on Price's second ace of the match.
Myers led the defense at net with six blocks, all of which translated into points. Gourley had 10 digs, while Gilbert (seven) and Schnathorst (five) combined for 12.
Price doled out 21 assists. Gianna Gourley was responsible for 14 more.
The quick outing in which they could work on things played perfectly for the Lynx, who will now concentrate on Thursday's critical conference match at 15th-ranked (3A) Algona. The two teams have met three times in tournament play this season; the Bulldogs have won two of the clashes.
Both WCHS and Algona have dropped league matches to front-runner Iowa Falls-Alden. Thursday's loser is likely out of the title chase, and that leads Schnathorst to believe it could be a marathon.
"It's Algona," she said. "This is going to be big. We can tell that they want it just as bad, so it's going to be a brawl."
Howard says her players just need to approach it like they do every other match.
"We've got to go into every (match) playing to win," she said. "We're going to use what we did (last night) and see how we can apply it to Thursday."

"I never dreamed about success. I worked for it. "
Robinson Helicopter's Frank Robinson
Frank Robinson readily admits he's not your typical CEO. "When I worked for the big aerospace companies, I was always a bit of a maverick," he explained to me in his relatively small, Spartan office just off the production floor of Robinson Helicopter Co. in Torrance, Calif. "I don't think I could have gotten anywhere if I had stayed with any of them. The only way I could do it was to start my own company where I could set my own rules."
At age nine, Robinson knew what he wanted to do with his life. "I saw a picture in a newspaper of Igor Sikorsky hovering his prototype VS-300 helicopter," he said. "I became fascinated that somebody could build an aircraft that could remain motionless in the air and move in any direction. This was the basis of my long-term dream all through school and college." It was a dream he pursued systematically, aiming his studies at the University of Washington at helicopter design and later working only for manufacturers that built rotorcraft.
After earning a B.A. degree in mechanical engineering in 1957, Robinson took a job at Cessna Aircraft, which was developing a helicopter, the CH-1 Skyhook. Said Robinson, "I got my first helicopter ride in a CH-1. But a few weeks later, the pilot who took me up was killed in a crash of the same aircraft. Our desks were next to each other and we had become friends. Most people would have been turned off by that, but it made the challenge more real to me."
After working for five other manufacturers, Robinson formed his own company in 1973. Two years later, he took the prototype R22, a two-seat helicopter he had designed and built mostly himself, on its first flight. In 1979, the FAA awarded the helicopter its type certificate. Today, some 7,000 R22 and R44 (a four-seater) helicopters are flying.
Although he could easily afford it, Robinson does not own a business jet. He does, however, use business aviation in the form of an R44. "For the last 20 years or so, I've spent most of my summers at my vacation home on Whidbey Island in the Puget Sound," he said. "I can walk upstairs and onto the helipad, hop into my helicopter and be at SeaTac Airport in 25 minutes. I leave the helicopter at the general aviation terminal and hop on an Alaska Airlines jet to L.A."
Robinson believes a lot of people who use private jets still end up wasting time getting to the airport. "In many cases, they could have a ground or rooftop helipad put in, so that they could use a helicopter to get to their private jet. This seems to me to be a natural extension of the use of their jet."
Robinson's views on management, starting up an aircraft company and success follow.
How would you describe your management style?
Not authoritarian, but very independent. I ignore the accepted ways of running a business. From the very beginning, I've based most decisions purely on my own intuition. The experience I gained from working for six companies that manufactured helicopters gave me the intuition to make decisions without having to go to a board of directors.
Who are your key people?
The department heads, key engineers and others-about a dozen. They've all been with me more than 20 years. In fact, the entire company has very low turnover.
What characteristics do you look for in your key people?
They have to know their jobs and have good common sense when it comes to handling people. Some managers are good technically, but not good with people, and vice versa. Over the years, I've had to let go a lot of people who were deficient in one or the other characteristic.
How do you handle firing employees?
I don't have any real problems axing someone who really needs to go. During the formative years of the company, we had a lot of layoffs and weeding out. But we ended up with a really, really good workforce. We're not union, which has given us a lot of freedom to do the pruning when it needs to be done.
What do you consider the primary role of the CEO?
My case is different, because I started the company and grew with it. I was involved in everything-the design of the company, aircraft engineering, test flying, manufacturing, purchasing and so on-which required the diverse background that I got while working with the other companies.
What lessons did you learn from starting Robinson Helicopter Company?
Never go to venture capitalists. I spent a lot of time talking to venture capitalists-it was one of the most useless things I ever did. They expect to get all their money back in a few years and with a return of 30 percent or more. That's an unrealistic goal. If you have to shoulder that burden from the beginning, you have an impossible task. So I didn't raise any money this way.
How did you get your start-up capital?
I didn't have any money, except for the equity in my house, which I put on the block along with my other personal assets. I did have a few patents and patentable ideas that I assigned over to the corporation when I formed it. It wasn't until I got some individual people interested that I was able to raise outside money.
Another thing that helped was the publicity I got from aviation magazines, starting with Aviation Week. From this publicity, I got a lot of inquiries from people who wanted to buy the R22 or to be dealers. I put together a marketing organization and began taking partially nonrefundable deposits.
Why nonrefundable?
Right from the beginning, I wanted to establish a reputation for credibility. The basic condition-which I made sure people understood-was that they could have one half of their deposit back at any time and for any reason. The fact that half the deposit was nonrefundable gave it credibility with banks and other lenders. It was a small deposit, only $300 for an individual and $5,000 for a dealership. This was in the late 1970s. The target price for the helicopter was about $40,000.
Another condition was that the money collected for the deposits would be used only to produce or purchase production tooling and parts.
What are the most egregious mistakes that a CEO can make?
Not doing what you say you're going to do. Also, mistakes in hiring and misjudging people.
When I got ready to go into production, I tried hiring workers from the aerospace industry. They were high-paid, underworked, unionized and difficult to retrain-and had an attitude. When a bigger manufacturer got a new government contract and started hiring again, they would leave. We did better hiring people off the sidewalk who didn't have experience with the aerospace companies and then training them ourselves.
What is your typical workweek?
Until a short time ago, I always worked six days a week. I usually showed up before 8 a.m., never took lunch or breaks and would go on until about 6:30 or 7. Sometimes I'd come in on Sunday. Now I take more time off in the summer.
What do you enjoy in your free time?
I have a 61-foot Ocean Alexander powerboat I enjoy operating. It has two 660-horsepower Caterpillar diesel engines-very well equipped and very comfortable. I take it up to British Columbia every summer.
What keeps you up at night?
Quite often, I wake up at 2 or 3 o'clock with something on my mind and I'll stay up several hours. One thing I have learned is not to go with any decisions I make in the middle of the night, because they are always so pessimistic-everything looks much worse than it is.
There are about 7,000 Robinson helicopters operating today-that's a lot of worries and a lot of headaches. How to prevent accidents is always a top priority with me. The number of accidents each year is about the same, which is good in a sense because the percentage of accidents to aircraft has gone down from where it was in the beginning. Over 90 percent of our serious accidents, according to the NTSB, are attributed to pilot error.
What advice do you have for a mid-level executive with his sights set on the head office?
I'm not a good one to ask. I've always said what I thought and that was not very popular at the big companies I worked for. I'm more apt to go against the pack than with it.
What are your plans for succession?
I'm working on it. I just can't convince myself of the urgency that other people seem to give it. I'm bound and determined to live to be at least 100 and I don't believe in inherited wealth. I think that a company should be run by the people who are most able to run it. Whether they happen to be related to you or not should be secondary.
To what do you attribute your success?
I've always been very stubborn, had a lot of self-confidence and been very independent. You have to have the perseverance to stick with your dream when you run into obstacles where there seems no hope of overcoming them. You just have to hang on and take things one day at a time until you find a way to get there.

Ready or Not - Page 9
In all, out of 173 starters, 79 runners would finish the Trail Runner UROC 100K, with the last runner, Matt Nelson, 46, of West Palm Beach, Florida, braving inside-of-a-casket dark and fog until nearly 1 a.m., to finish in 17:48.
While it would be hard to say that the Trail Runner UROC winners are the best ultrarunners of 2011, the consensus among the elite runners was that the concept is onto something.
Crosby-Helms wholeheartedly supports the race's championship notion. "[Trail ultrarunning] is not founded in a competitive aspect," she said, "but competition is what brings out the edge in athletes. It's also really cool for [recreational] runners in the race to be around the people they look up to."
Sharman, too, backed the idea: "But it always takes a few years for an event to really establish itself so I was surprised how far this came in year one. There isn't really a race out there seriously trying to do the same thing, especially in terms of making it more accessible to follow live with videos, etc."
"In its first year, UROC turned out to be one of the top American ultras in terms of top-level runners gathered in one race, coming in perhaps only behind Western States, at least on the men's side," says Roes. "UROC might have really lofty goals, but I think this just means [the organizers] will keep working hard to get closer to those goals."
Indeed, the wheels are in motion for UROC 2012. "Because of the tremendous support from the athletes and our sponsors, we will double the cash purse for 2012," says Gill. "And one of our focuses will be to bring over more international runners, both male and female."
And with a full year for planning, recruiting athletes and fine tuning the course, UROC 2012 will be a race to watch.
Michael Benge is the Editor of Trail Runner.

Topic: Sortable list position not save in database with latest scriptaculous
Hi all,
I come to get some help on a weird issue ...
I created a list (ul, li) and add the following statement in my show view :
<%= sortable_element 'task_group',
:url => {:action =>"sort", :id =>@task_group },
:complete => visual_effect(:highlight, 'task_group')
Now, if I use the scriptaculous library deliver with rails, it works but if I use the latest release of scriptaculous (1.6.5) then the list is sortable but the "position" is not save in the database ... like if sort action was never called or sort parameters were bad ...
Any idea ???
Thanks for the help !!!

Texas police ID couple, son, based on Schugel call
SAN ANTONIO, Texas – San Antonio, Texas police have identified the couple and their son whose decomposing bodies were found in their San Antonio home Thursday, according to the San Antonio Express-News.
Police say Herbert Rishell, 76, used a .22 caliber rifle to shoot Mary Rishell, 67, and George Rishell, 45. He then apparently turned the gun on himself at their home in the 9600 block of Vale Drive.
Herbert and George Rishell were contract drivers for the J&R Schugel Trucking Company in New Ulm. On Thursday, New Ulm Police contacted the San Antonio Police on behalf of J&R Schugel, asking them to do a welfare check on Herbert and George Rishell, who hadn't reported for work since March 6.
Leah Shaver, the company's human resources director, said the two had been working on a contract basis for J&R Schugel as a driving team for more than a decade.
Officers found Mary Rishell on a bed, her body wrapped in a blanket. She had a gunshot wound to the top of her head. George Rishell was lying on the floor of another bedroom. Herbert Rishell was found in a living room chair facing the television, which was on. He apparently killed the other two before shooting himself in the face, the report says.
Police Chief William McManus said the bodies had "been there for a while," but he couldn't specify how long. The three last were seen March 9.
Neighbors said the family was friendly and never fought. Records showed no police calls to the home in the past year.

How much do you really know about Parkinson�s? Here, we present 10 surprising facts about the insidious neurodegenerative disease.
When most people think about Parkinson�s disease, they think about actor Michael J. Fox, diagnosed with the disease in 1991 at age 30.� But many of us don�t know much more about the progressive disease except its legacy of erratic motor movements. The disease, which is the second most common neurological disease after Alzheimer�s, affects more than 1 million Americans. It occurs when brain cells in a region of the brain called the substantia nigra begin to die.� As they do, the substantia nigra produces less and less dopamine, a neurotransmitter that sends key messages to another part of the brain, the striatum, which coordinates movement and coordination. But Parkinson�s is much more complex than these basics.� Below are facts about Parkinson�s that may surprise you. RELATED: Diagnosing Alzheimer�s Disease 1. Parkinson�s may start with your sense of smell. One of the earliest symptoms of Parkinson�s may be a loss of smell, which can predate diagnosis by 20 to 30 years, says Jill M. Farmer, DO, MPH, director of the Movement Disorders Program at the Capital Institute for Neurosciences, Capital Health, in Pennington, New Jersey. �It can also cause sleep disorders, depression and anxiety.� �Parkinson�s involves cognitive problems, constipation, bladder problems and [digestive] absorption problems as well, says Maurizio Facheris, MD, MSc, Associate Director of Research Programs for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson�s Research. �Those problems are caused by the degeneration of other systems, which involve other neurotransmitters such as serotonin, glutamate and acetylcholine.� It�s not just a dopamine disorder.� 2. Parkinson�s disease is not the same as Parkinsonism.����������������� �Parkinson�s is one form of Parkinsonism,� says Facheris.� �But there are a lot of similar disorders, including progressive supranuclear palsy, or palsy; multiple-system atrophy, or MSA; or drug-induced Parkinsonism.� These can look like Parkinson�s disease and confuse diagnosis.� Even Parkinson�s itself has a range of types, says Farmer: �In [the most common type of] Parkinson�s, the patient is usually older with a shuffling gait and shaking arm. But in some people with Parkinson�s, the dominant problem is gait, and in others it may be cramping in the arms and toes.� The kind you have guides treatment.� 3. Parkinson�s is not a man�s disease.� About 60 percent of people who have the most typical kind of Parkinson�s are men, says Facheris: �But the other forms of Parkinson�s split 50/50.� Some researchers suspect that estrogen may be a protective factor, says Farmer: �After menopause, women tend to get Parkinson�s at the same rate as men.� 4. Parkinson�s is not an old person�s disease.� �The average age of diagnosis is in the late 50s,� says Facheris.� �But a handful of people are diagnosed in their 40s or earlier.�� About 10 percent of people with Parkinson�s are diagnosed under the age of 40, according to the National Parkinson�s Foundation. 5. There�s no test for Parkinson�s. �There is no standard test,� says Farmer. �A dopamine active transporter (DAT) scan looks at how well dopamine is metabolized in [the brain].� That helps distinguish the condition from other ones such as essential tremor or drug-induced Parkinson�s.�� A movement disorder specialist would also look at symptoms such as less arm swing in one arm than another, and will also study whether the patient walks stiffly or loses his balance easily.� A doctor would use a blood test to distinguish it from a thyroid problem or Wilson�s disease, both of which can cause tremors. 6. Exercise is critical for people with Parkinson�s. �Exercise releases dopamine and neurotropic growth factor, which appears to allow more dopamine release,� says Farmer.� �It�s possible that 30 minutes of exercise several times a week may lower the needed dose of medication.� 7. Parkinson�s has genetic and environmental components. No one yet knows the cause of Parkinson�s, but both genetic and environmental factors both play a part, says Facheris. �You can now test for a panel of genes if you have a family history of Parkinson�s, although finding a genetic link doesn�t change treatment,� says Farmer. Exposure to heavy metals, certain pesticides, and Agent Orange (a herbicide used in the Vietnam war) may increase risk. 8. Doctors may delay prescribing the gold standard of treatment. After seven to 10 years of taking levodopa (Sinemet), patients often develop dyskinesia, or uncontrolled movements, says Farmer.� Although levodopa, used since 1967, is the gold standard treatment, doctors may wait to introduce it to younger patients because of those side effects, she says. Instead, they may offer other classes of drugs have been developed that mimic dopamine but don�t have the movement side effects. �Dopamine agonists such as the patch Neupro (rotigotine transdermal system) may increase impulses however,� says Farmer. �So you have to be monitored so that you don�t drink or eat excessively or do other compulsive behaviors.� Another treatment option is MAO-B inhibitors, which recycle the body�s dopamine by blocking its breakdown. �They may also delay progression, but that�s not yet proven,� says Farmer. 9. Surgical options are some of the newest promising treatments for Parkinson�s. �If tremors are predominant in the disease, one of the most promising treatments is deep brain stimulation surgery [DBS],� says Farmer.� Not all patients respond to conventional medical therapy. If they don�t, they can be candidates for DBS. In the surgery, an electrode is inserted into the part of the brain involved in motor function.� Its electrical impulses block signals that may cause some of the Parkinson�s symptoms.� It�s a good option for people who are experiencing motor side effects from levodopa,� says Facheris.� �But DBS does have surgical risks (such as bleeding and infection), and not everyone qualifies for this therapy.� Another option that may become available in a year is LCIG/Duodopa. A levodopa/carbidopa gel is delivered through a small tube into the intestine from an external supply on the skin, much like the constant delivery of insulin for diabetics.� Constant delivery helps avoid peaks and valleys of medication that cause side effects. 10. Parkinson�s is not fatal. Although Parkinson�s is a progressive disease, no one dies directly from Parkinson�s, says Facheris. �But there are complications that can lead to death.� For instance, a minority of people may have trouble swallowing.� If food goes into the lungs, you can get pneumonia.�� Falling is also a risk.� When older people break bones, they can become bedridden, which can lead to other problems like muscle weakness, and difficulty breathing.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: All goodIn full: As the previous reviewer said, all races should start on time. It didn't start drastically late but a pain when it happens. Good scenery, good support from marshals and public. Quite a lot of shingle track but I managed a PB by 2 minutes. Date of review: May 19, 2013
In short: Could be so much betterIn full: Quite a small field of runners so plenty of space to overtake, or in my case, be overtaken. The scenery was very good and the variety of track (Shingle, wood, tar and grass) was good. It is also good value for money.Now for the frustrating bits which if rectified would make for a much better race. Parking - £5.50 ... £7.50 if over 2 hours. Not the organisers fault but nearly the same cost as race entry which cant be right. It does make you run quicker to avoid the higher charge though.Only one of the marshals on the course showed any sort of encouragement. Very little clapping or words of encouragement except the guy in the forest where their is a left turn.No distance markers at all. Surely its not difficult to put a few of these out.I believe this was in aid of the youth marching band - where were they? Music is a motivator so I expected them to be playing somewhere on the course or towards the end. I would have even put a few quid in a collection tin if they were entertaining.The medal - unlike the other reviewer I do these races for medals as I won very little throughout my school years! Why no ribbon on the medal, I like to walk back to the car after a race looking like Mr T but this medal had to go straight in the pocket.Its a lovely race to do but could be so much better and would attract more runners if some of the above could be resolved. If its your first time doing this race then its worth doing for the course.Date of review: May 19, 2013
In short: A very British runIn full: A lovely well organised race in a very friendly village (I have not been to another race where there is a cake raffle at the start). No queues for registration or toilets like at many of the more "professional" runs. The scenery was spectacular and odd in places (running through a cattle sheds with some very bemused cows and passing a wonderful disused railway). Quite a bit hilly up to around 6k but then flat/downhill all the way after that. The motivational signs around the course were brilliant in their humour; very nice touch. Thank you to all those that made this race happen; I cant wait for next year.Date of review: April 29, 2013
In short: Great locationIn full: It was a nice touch having bananas before the race however there are a few things that could have been better. There was a real lack of toilets and the pubs facilities couldnt cope. Some portaloos would be good next year. Also the first section of the race is quite tight so its tricky to over take. Perhaps starting the race on a different part of the course would help with this, and the toilet situation. There wasn't any water at the end of the race (that I could find). Not sure if this was in the goody bags that were stolen along side the medals though.Lovely area though and feel sorry for the organisers having things stolen prior to the race. Date of review: December 11, 2012
In short: Very well organisedIn full: A very well organised race with loads of happy and encouraging marshalls. As other people have said; plenty of loos - how it should be - other race organisers take note.Loads of people at the finish line to hand out medals, bananas, chocolate, capris sun and water. My only gripe is that a marshall sent me to the high street to park when there was plenty of room in the car park opposite. Would definately do it again. Well done all involved.Date of review: November 19, 2012
In short: Well organised and friendlyIn full: I dont usually go for the organised pre race warm ups but this one was very good ... well done Rocky. An inspiring speach from Bob Wilson and a beautiful course. 1 slight hill but a pretty fast course and managed a PB. The drummers at the begining and end were a big help. The vegi hot dogs available pre run also helped!! As someone else mentioned, seeing the finish line and then having to run up hill and on grass, whilst backing up on yourself to reach it was a bit disheartening but the crowd is their to chear you through it. Very friendly, informative Marshalls. Great race. Thanks to all involved.Date of review: October 12, 2012
In short: Wow ... nice houses!!In full: This was the first time doing this race and I managed to get my 10k PB. The hill is fairly tough but there is a great opportunity to make up time going down hill. The houses and Moor park area is fantastic. My only critism is the signage to the race. Once inside the Moor Park estate, although I could see the KM markers, I couldnt find the start point and had to drive around for a while.Date of review: October 4, 2012
In short: Great race, great guysIn full: This was the 2nd time doing the race and the organisation was much better with no queues before the race. Lessons had been learnt from their first race last year although more toilets would be good.Unfortunately approx 1 mile from the end it wasnt clear which path to take which meant that a few of us ended up going across a field instead of taking the tarmac road (i can only think a marshall had left his point for some reason).What makes this race so enjoyable is the enthusiasm by the regiment fitness guys. You can see they are keen for you to do well.Its a hard race and the hill is a killer but its well worth doing.Date of review: October 4, 2012

text: An East Texas-based firm has become controversial for filing a string of infringement suits based on a single technology patent. TQP Development reportedly consists of Michael Jones, who originally filed a 1989 patent application for the encryption technology in question, and Erich Spangenberg, a Dallas attorney who bought the patent from him in 2006. According to Forbes, Spangenberg is using the patent "to sue every technology, banking, and Web commerce company in sight" since 2008. Among the targets have been Apple, Amazon, Dell, Exxon Mobil, Intel, and TD Ameritrade. Many of these cases have been reportedly settled out of court. The area of alleged infringement is related to the use of the Secure Sockets Layer or Transport Layer Security handshake that creates a secure connection between a browser and a Web server. Although the patent expired in May 2012, US law lets TQP file suit against companies for alleged prior infringement for another six years. Spangenberg told Forbes, "When the government grants you the right to a patent, they grant you the right to exclude others from using it … The world would be a better place if people understood intellectual property. I don't understand why just because [a technology is] prevalent, it should be free." Bruce Schneier—a cryptography expert and chief security technology officer of UK telecommunications giant BT—has served as a consultant to several defendants in Spangenberg's cases and called TQP a "really bad patent troll." He said its patent should be invalidated by evidence that the technology previously existed prior to the award of the patent. (SlashDot)(Ars Technica)(Cypher Law Blog)(D Magazine)(IPNav)(Forbes)

Woman's death a homicide; decomposing body still unidentified
Authorities trying to determine if victim is missing Robesonia woman
CLAY TWP., Pa. - Authorities in Berks County are watching closely following the discovery of a woman's body in a northern area of neighboring Lancaster County.
The discovery was made just days after a woman from Robesonia, Berks Co., was reported missing.
The body was found Sunday evening in the Middle Creek Waterfowl Refuge on Laurel Drive in Clay Township.
An autopsy was conducted Monday, and the woman's death was ruled a homicide, said the Lancaster County coroner, who added that the woman suffered significant trauma.
Berks County District Attorney John Adams was called Sunday night. He is now awaiting word as detectives have been searching for Ashley Kline of Robesonia.
"This investigation has crossed county lines quite often," said Adams.
Kline, 23, has been missing since Dec. 30. Last week, the investigation took police to Adamstown. Sources told 69 News that Kline's purse was found in the area. Police searched a waste station on East Main Street for clues, but they came up empty.
"They had a state helicopter up and it was very scary in a small community where nothing really happens," said one woman, who did not want to be identified, but added she called police after her son found the belongings.
According to family members, Kline has the mental capability of a 15-year-old after she suffered from lead poisoning as a child.
The Lancaster County coroner said dental records are being used to help determine an ID because the body was outside for more than several days.
Now, detectives in both Berks and Lancaster Counties are waiting to hear just who was found in the woods.
"Our office will work with the Lancaster County DA's office and offer them any help if in fact Ms. Kline has been located," said Adams.
The coroner said an identification could come Monday night or Tuesday.
Kline's family members are still holding out hope she will be found alive.

Need some help in a fantasy league I am in. I'm in a keeper league and am currently tied with with 4 others for first place (4-2). A trade was proposed to me, what do you think?
I would get Kurt Warner and Ronnie Brown. I would give up Tono Romo and Brandon Lloyd. I could use a RB like Brown, but would like to keep Romo in 2009.
Also, I'm heading out to Vegas tomorrow for a weekend of college and pro football. Any locks that I should bet on?

Show summary from ABC:
Hailed as a "rock and road movie," Paul McCartney's Back in the U.S. will give viewers front row seats and backstage passes to his most recent American tour in an original two-hour telefilm.
In the early months of 2002, a film crew followed McCartney and his band for 14 weeks to sold-out shows in 34 cities across America. Back in the U.S. will feature footage from many of these concerts, which included performances of "Yesterday," "Band on the Run," "Hey Jude," "Let it Be," "Maybe I'm Amazed," "Getting Better," "Back in the U.S.S.R.," "Live and Let Die," "Here Today" and "Something." More than two dozen hits that span his entire career, from the Beatles to Wings, and his solo work will be featured in the special.
Back in the U.S. also candidly reveals life on the road with Paul McCartney and his band - Rusty Anderson and Brian Ray on guitars, Abe Laboriel, Jr., on drums and Paul "Wix" Wickens on keyboards. Producer/director Mark Haefeli was given unprecedented access, and his cameras will take viewers on McCartney's chartered tour jet, invite them to hang out in the band's dressing rooms backstage and to attend previously private soundchecks.
"It was an amazing experience to work with such an icon and to be trusted to be given such access into his life. It made the tour a trip," Haefeli said. "Paul McCartney was involved in the creative process from beginning to end. To work with this man on such a personal level was both the greatest challenge and most endearing reward of my career".
According to McCartney, "This was a special tour for me in many ways and I'm very pleased that this film has captured much of the magic of it all. The band has felt very special to me, I'm having a great time playing with these guys, and the crowds on this tour have been special too; every night a warmth of goodwill from them has washed over us. But also there's been this special camaraderie going on backstage with the crew and all involved in this tour, there's been an intimacy of a life on the road that I don't think people will have seen on a screen before."

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (95 votes).
In short: A few killer hills, tough workout.In full: Distance was ideal as preparation for the London Marathon, few big hills early on made for a challenging course. Having a hotel as the HQ at the start was a nice touch. A bit lonely at times on the route, and could have done with a few more marshalls as was not always 100% clear as to the direction.Date of review: March 29, 2010
In short: Hard work BUT worth it 4 London!In full: Nice organisation and fab run...hard but fun and good value...Methinks they should scrap the 13 mile though and just re-name it the "A2 Path & Downs 20+ Mile Pre-VLM run"Date of review: March 29, 2010
In short: Make sure you know the 13 route!In full: If the organisation is off, don't rely on what marshals there may be - I did, and after 13.2, jogged another 5.8. My legs are tender!Date of review: March 29, 2010
In short: hills hills and more hills, but a good hard work out. well marshalled with plenty of food/drinkIn full: hills hills and even bigger hills, a tough well marshalled race . Drinks and food on the 21m course were just in the right places and a decent friendly bunch of runners. only gripe I have is that so many events say safe baggage, but its not. As someone else said, if you finish the path n downs then a marathon should be easy. Date of review: March 29, 2010
In short: A very enjoyable stroll!In full: Thanks for the organsiation Mike - thoroughly enjoyed my little amble. Excellent finish line with plenty of goodies - just missing a nice cold Guinness.Date of review: March 29, 2010
In short: aDate of review: March 29, 2010
In short: Two hills, one very tough, but worth it for the views! Jaffa cakes were very welcome at the drinks stations!In full: What a race! This was the first 21 mile race I've completed. The organisation was first rate, and we were followed by a marshall on a bike. The weather was kind and it was a fast race. The rolling start worked well for us, although having to stick to paths was a little frustrating at times. Some of the mile markers were out so it didn't feel like 21 miles at all. For a run on my doorstep I couldn't ask for more! Will be back! Date of review: March 29, 2010
In short: Loved it - challenging but friendly. Some minor orgaisation issues.In full: The marshalls were great but there needed to be more of them and the mile markers on the 21 were a bit off at the end ... but all easily forgiveable for what was a challenging but enjoyale race. Lovely competitors, lovely organisers, lovely hills .... and Jaffa cakes!Date of review: March 28, 2010
In short: nice warm up especially the first hill!In full: (21 mile) A nice marathon training long run, first hill was nasty but after that was ok if a little dull when back on the A20. A few more signs or marshalls on junctions would be nice when up on the downs. Last 'mile' was way off thoughDate of review: March 28, 2010
In short: Challenging race with plenty of Jaffas!Date of review: March 28, 2010

OMG! When I think of my hubbie wearing this cologne, I get chills. This smells so good on him, almost like it was made for him. His body chemistry and the fragrance mixed is unbelievable! It doesn't matter what time of day he wears it, it smells very good and I am drawn to him even more. I agree with earlier review, VERY INTOXICATING. To me, this is a man's cologne, maybe too strong for the younger generation.
Written by Rhonda G. on May 21, 2015
I have used this fragrance before and I have got it back again. It is a fresh and nice and does not come heavy. I think most people will like it. It is a must have in your collection
Written by Montoo on April 09, 2015
BVLGARI FOR MEN I like how it on the initial application but also how it surprises me when I least expect it. Complex and simple at the same time. Tried it on a whim, will be back for more.

Skip to comments.Herman Cain to endorse Gingrich at tonights Lincoln Day Dinner at Kravis Center
Posted on 01/28/2012 6:15:23 PM PST by BCrago66
WEST PALM BEACH Herman Cain will be a surprise guest at tonights Lincoln Day Dinner at the Kravis Center to endorse Newt Gingrich, the Palm Beach Post has confirmed.
The Shark Tank, a conservative news site, was the first to report the endorsement.
Earlier today, Palm Beach County GOP chairman Sid Dinerstein promised a big surprise at tonights dinner.
(Excerpt) Read more at postonpolitics.com ...
Thank Goodness! Now if we can just get Santorum do drop and do the same thing we can finish Romney and his liberal RINO backers off for good!
Watch this event online here:
Here's the original report on the Cain endorsement:
BenKenobi will be deeply saddened.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cain just endorsed Gingrich!!!!!!!! Woooooohoooooo!!!
Woo hoo!! Go, Newt!!
Rebellion is on!!
Newsmax confirms:
"Former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain endorsed Newt Gingrich for the GOP nomination late on Saturday at the same time accepting a position as the former House Speakers tax reform chairman.
The author of the now-famous 9-9-9 tax plan announced his endorsement in West Palm Beach, Florida, three days ahead of that states vital primary. The endorsement is a welcome boost for Gingrich, who has found himself having to defend himself against a vicious onslaught of attacks from former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney..."
Surprised it took so long, the two seem very tight. Suspect the Romney campaign burning up the phones to Jeb Bush for a last minute endorsement to counter.
Go Newt!!! And thank you, Herman!
How many times were we told that Cain was going to endorse Mitt.
Well it didn't happen, did it.
I thought Cain already endorsed "the people"?
He just did it! Wooohooo!!!
"Suspect the Romney campaign burning up the phones to Jeb Bush for a last minute endorsement to counter."
Jeb, who? Oh, you mean the Jeb who met with hussein at the white hut this week?
Thanks Herman! Go Newt!!
Is there any doubt that Romney's campaign has been the one putting out the dirt on the other candidates including Cain.
Good move Herman...very good move!
Go Newt!
I don't want Santorum to drop out before Romney's defeat is guaranteed, but Santorum needs to go after Romney only.
Mormons are notorious for putting on a facade
Mitt is to Conservativism
Mormon is to Christianity
I guess he's lost faith in "the people", and figured out he has to endorse a real candidate.
Hopefully, this will help — Cain was polling very well in Florida at one time. Unfortunately, there's a lot of early voting. But maybe this can help turn the momentum around.
I hope the announcement is covered by the media.
I notified fudge oops sorry did I say fudge.
I wouldn't doubt for a second that Romney's campaign is the one that unloaded all the smears on Cain.
Realistically, Gingrich has likely lost Florida. But it makes an enormous difference how big or small Romney's lead is for Gingrich's viability going forward. If Gingrich remains reasonably close, he can maintain popular support and fund-raising ability, and pick up some delegate-rich upcoming states.
Florida has 50 delegates. But Texas - primary on April 3rd - which Gingrich would surely win, has 155. And it's not just Texas. A state like Minnesota - which I never thought of as a conservative bastion - has 40 delegates, and Gingrich is heavily favored in the latest poll released 1/25 (Gingrich 36 v. Romney 18):
Palin... Perry... Cain... all Newt needs is Santorum and Romney is history.
Just wow.
Thank God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great news!!!! GO NEWT! WOOT! WOOT!
Advertisements contain the only truths to be relied on in a newspaper. - Thomas Jefferson
Pray for Santorum's family, for those who just heard the news on C-Span.
Sarah Palin was just on FOX... she all but officially endorsed Newt. She said he has the best chance of beating Obama, and he'd destroy Obama in a debate.
She also took jabs at Romney for Romneycare..
Oh, I know they were. I'm disappointed Herman had dropped out at the time because I was ready to go to bat for him with the NJ accuser and Brad Brewster allegations.
Anyway, I hope now that Herman has endorsed Newt those people that were bashing him or calling him stupid or a Mitt stalking horse finally lay off him. The actual endorsement doesn't surprise me. I think the intention was there he was going to endorse Newt all along, but they were saving it for a more "critical" time when Newt would be most likely to benefit from it. For example, I really believe that if Newt had needed a boost in SC before the primary there, Herman would have endorsed him instead of the "American People" on Jan 19. When it became clear Newt didn't need a boost there, Herman put it off.
I doubt that Cain has lost faith in "the people." I think it is much more likely that he has totally lost faith that the lying POS Romney will run a clean campaign. I'm sure he was contacted by people here in Florida and was told about all the garbage Romney has been trying to pull. It is absolutely disgusting and just as bad as anything he pulled four years ago. I have not supported Newt at all, but Romney's actions have been so vile, it even got me to decide to vote for Newt anyway.
I have no doubt that Romney was behind the smear campaign against Cain because the stench of Romney was everywhere. Maybe after seeing Romney in action down here, Cain realizes just how sleazy Romney really is.
What news? Is someone in his family ill?
Nothing from drudge yet.
ok... Newt HAS to make a deal with Santorum! Even if he has to give him the VP slot! I don't care, because we HAVE to stop Romney !
Gingrich/Santorum 2012 and this race is over!
what happened!?!
Here are the details. I won't try to summarize because I'm just learning about it myself.
Santorum cancels morning events to be with child
How do you know? Do you have a link?
Another thread here quotes news reports that Broward County (Florida SE Coast) early voting was light.
She is clearly for Newt...but so far she does not want to violate her contract with Fox.
Go Newt!
Not a bad idea to give Santorum the VP slot, as it could help in PA, OH, WV type states.
That's illegal. Remember Blago: "I got this thing and it's effing golden!"
Do you think that a guy who drops out over woman problems giving an endorsement is going to help? I am not sure but I have a feeling that Newt has been warmly welcomed to the you won't get many womens votes club as a result. Politics is about appearance.
If Broward early voting is light, that is excellent news. Much of Mitt's support would come from the liberal southern part of the state where Broward is located. If they stay home, the rest of the state will have a better chance to put Newt over the top.
