the checklist
summer dreams, beauty tricks, and our new weekend anthem.
The Curator: Liza Darwin, Senior Web Editor
The News: The Girl Meets World trailer has landed!
Cory and Topanga are baaack! It seems like it's been forever since we first heard about the Girl Meets World sequel, and now the first look has arrived. Check it out here, and let us know if it's lived up to the hype--not to mention, if it's worth revisiting the Disney channel for.
The Look: MiH Summer 2014
John Lennon-esque round sunglasses, tie dye shirts, and flare jeans? On paper (er, computer screens) it sounds like a little much, but in the MiH lookbook, this look is luxe hippie at its absolute coolest. Remind me to swap the skinny denim for Farrah Fawcett flares this summer.
The Face: Sephora BB Cream and CC Cream Sponges-- $8
OK, I know what you're thinking--it is really necessary to have a sponge specifically for BB and CC creams? Answer: Yes. Coming soon to Sephora, these multi-functional applicators don't soak up the product like traditional makeup spongers. Instead, the velvety finish has one side for smoothing on and one side for blending. Because even with lighter coverage, nobody wants cake face.
The Inspiration: Urban Outfitters Summer Lookbook
Spring is finally here, and summer is so close we can actually taste it. Officially counting down the days until we can take road trips upstate, when we can spend all day chilling in the pool, and when an "outfit" equals a swimsuit.
The Song: "Heartbreak Dream" by Betty Who
If there's anyone who can get the party mood going--even at 9 AM on a Friday morning--it's Betty Who. She's finally released her debut EP, and it's full of shimmery, starry-eyed jams. Check out our latest fave, "Heartbreak Dream," below.

22% drop in farm income
Volatility in farm incomes represents a major challenge for family farms as IFA's preliminary estimates for 2012 show that farm income has fallen by 22% for the year.
This is a loss of over €500m in national farm income and leaves average farm incomes at an estimated €18,000.
Commenting on the estimates, IFA President John Bryan said, "A combination of dreadful weather conditions, which impacted negatively on production, and increased input costs, resulted in a huge fall in farm incomes in 2012".
He continued "The experience in farming this year once again clearly shows the critical importance of the Direct Payments in underpinning farm incomes. Direct Payments will account for more than 90% of farm incomes in 2012.
"Any cuts to these payments would have a directly negative impact on farm incomes and production. In the negotiations on the overall EU Budget in Brussels this week, it is vital that the CAP budget is maintained.
"This contributes funding of €1.6b annually to farms in every part of Ireland. In addition, Government must show their commitment to the farming sector in a difficult year in the upcoming national budget, through the maintenance of funding for farm schemes," Mr Bryan concluded.

Four years later, this tiny vessel reaches its destination ending a journey fraught with danger, excitement, and beauty. Taking the listener through the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean, Holling Clancy Holling (1900-1973) gives us a treasure chest of geography and natural science wrapped in an unforgettably beautiful story. This timeless award-winning book has been a favorite of families for over 60 years.
©1941, 1969 Holling Clancy Holling; (P)2004 Audio Bookshelf
"Holling's Caldecott Honor book, first published in 1941, finds new life in Bregy's reading. With a voice that ranges from smooth and lilting to excited and energetic, Bregy helps listeners follow the informative and sometimes dramatic adventures....A top-notch family listen." (Publishers Weekly)
"Highly recommended"
A great story for the whole family. We listened to it as we drove from Winnipeg to southern Ontario. Little did we know that we would travel through many of the same cities (Duluth, Sault Ste. Marie) that Paddle to the Sea travelled through. This made listening to the book very exciting for the kids (and mom & dad). The narration is excellent and the music really puts you in the story. Of all the kid's audio books I've purchased this has to be the best and is the one the kids want to listen to over and over. Highly recommend it especially for family driving trips.
"a great chil's story"
A wonderful story of s child's imagination and a glimpse of the life of the Inuit. Great for the non reder or a car trip
"A classic story well told."
It's a privilege to listen to this classic story, well told, in the digital age.
"Excellent Living Book for Home School Curriculum"
My children (4.6.8) have listened to it several times.
We especially enjoyed Bill, who repainted Paddle and added the metal plate.
Our favorite scene was when Paddle was stuck on the island during the forest fire.
"Living book"
All of my children enjoyed this book, 9,7, and 5 years old. It moved along at a great pace, adding enough detail to be educational without damaging the excitement of the story. I feel sure we will listen to it many times!

The Future of P2P Lending in China
The P2P lending market in China has grown from a mere US$30 million in 2009 to US$940 million in 2012, and will reach US$7.8 billion in 2015.
The advent of the Internet has led to the creation of new business models in financial services, especially in the personal and small and medium enterprise segments. A prominent example is AliFinance, which has created new business models in the areas of payments, unsecured loans and risk management by leveraging the Internet.
P2P providers utilize Internet technologies to support transactions, manage risk and price loans. Leaders in this area include CreditEase, PPDAI, and my089.com. Major financial institutions, such as Ping An Group, have also begun P2P loan services. In the report The Future of P2P Lending in China, Celent examines the market size, business model regulations, and trends in this emerging but rapidly growing market.
"The explosive growth of China's P2P lending market will lead the CBRC to put in place more stringent risk management requirements for P2P providers," says Hua Zhang, Analyst in Celent's Asian Financial Services practice. "At the same time, innovation continues. P2P lenders will launch personal financial management products, and leverage technologies such as search engines, social media, and cloud computing to improve credit assessment and risk identification. We even expect P2P providers to enter into partnerships with traditional lenders."
This report provides an overview of China's P2P market, profiles the leading P2P providers in China, and examines the industry's growth potential.
Celent is a research and advisory firm dedicated to helping financial institutions formulate comprehensive business and technology strategies.

As we draw closer to the November launch of the Sandy Bridge-E platform, we get the chance to check out some of the new motherboards that are due to coincide with the launch. Due to NDA, we can't get too specific on CPUs, nor can we talk about anything performance related. We seem to have the ability to tell you a fair bit about the board, though.
So, in following our normal preview style, we'll check out the MSI X79A-GD65 today and see what we've got to look forward to come November. Apparently I can't be specific about a launch date, but let's be honest, we all have a fairly good idea of when it's due.
So what's our normal preview style? - Well, we'll check out the box and the package of the board. Once that's done we'll take a closer look at the board itself and go through some of the main features that are on offer. There are some things we can't cover, but there's a lot we can.
Once we've done all that, we'll wrap everything up a little bit while we wait for the official NDA to lift and we can start to have a really good time with the new platform. But first, let's see what's going on with the package.
The Package
The packaging was one of the first things that took my attention as we see MSI move away from that white / reflective package. Instead, we've just got a darker black one here which looks pretty good. It's worth noting that we're dealing with the "GD65" here today and not the higher end "GD80" that we normally see from MSI. At launch it seems we'll only see the "GD65" with a "GD80" probably coming in the near future.
Turning the box over, we've got a bunch of details in regards to the main features that are on offer including mainly MSI specific ones. Things like OC Genie II and Click BIOS II are present along with a push on those "Military Class III" components MSI promote.
Moving inside the box, we've got the normal line-up of paperwork (albeit the final paperwork will have the new Military Class III branding seen on the CD) and the certificate of quality and stability. Along with all that, we've also got the normal Driver CD which includes a couple of MSI utilities as well.
The cable department is pretty full on; we've got a total of five SATA cables, two Molex to SATA connectors and a Molex to dual SATA connector. We've got a single SLI bridge installed and of course the normal I/O back plate.
As far as extras go, we've got two back plates; one for eSATA and the other consists of two USB 3.0 ports. We've also got some connectors for making plugging in your front panel stuff easier along with our little connectors for the voltage check points that are clearly going to be present on the board.

Dred Scott Case, the
From Longman Dictionary of Contemporary EnglishDred Scott Case, thethe Dred Scott CaseDred Scott Case, the /ˌdred ˈskɒt ˌkeɪs $ -ˈskɑːt-/ (also the Dred Scott Decision) an important decision made by the US Supreme Court in 1857 against a man called Dred Scott. Scott was a slave who wanted a court to decide that he should be a free man because his owner had taken him to live in states where slavery was illegal. The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court decided, however, that because Scott was black he could never become a citizen of the US and so he did not have the right to begin a legal case. The Chief Justice also stated that Congress must not prevent any state from having slavery.

Last week was no exception. On Monday night, police in Vienna discovered - and safely exploded - a letter bomb which had been intended for the stepmother of the Interior Minister, Caspar Einem. The device bore all the hallmarks of the more than 20 such bombs that have been dispatched over the past three years, and it only missed its target because it had been sent to an out-of-date address.
The type of explosive used, the nature of the intended victim (the relative of a person seen to be "soft" on foreigners), and the style of the operation all led police to suspect that the latest letter bomb was from the same person. But the real giveaway came in the fragments of the letter that survived the explosion.
They contained a reference to "Count Gerold", an obscure figure from ancient Austrian history who is credited with having repulsed some fierce attacks by marauding Slavs and Avars in the late 8th century. With that, it was clear that the Bajuvarische Befreiungsarmee - or Bavarian Liberation Army (BLA) - had struck again.
"Whoever is behind the letter bombs is obsessed with what he regards as the heroes of Austrian and Germanic history," said Gustav Spann, one of the many Viennese historians who has been pressed into service in a bid to throw more light on the mystery perpetrator. "But his view of history is distorted. The mythologising of a supposedly glorious Teutonic past could come right out of the Nazi time."
The BLA has been cited in nearly all the letters claiming responsibility for the letter bombs and a number of linked pipe bombs which among them have caused four deaths and 11 injuries, but is almost certainly fictitious. Its name is believed to hark back to the Baiuoarii, a Germanic tribe which settled in the region now known as Bavaria in the 6th century, and which then extended along the Danube into much of what is today Austria - displacing Slavs, Avars and anyone else who got in their way.
In addition to "Count Gerold", past letters have included references to "Earl Luitpold", a little-known 10th-century Bavarian nobleman, and a medieval bishop who was killed, together with Luitpold, in a battle against the Hungarians in 907. Nor is the sender just sticking to the ancient Bajuvarians. Letters claiming responsibility for the first wave of bombs in December 1993 all mentioned Count Rudiger von Starhemberg, the 17th-century Austrian nobleman who successfully led the defence of Vienna against the Turks in 1683 and a man long revered in Austrian neo- Nazi circles.
The references to von Starhemberg led police to suspect that the perpetrator (or perpetrators) must belong to the neo-Nazi scene, particularly as their targets were all people known for their foreigner-friendly attitudes. But as the bombings continued and the historical allusions became ever obscurer, they began to fear they were up against something much tougher to crack.
"The technical perfection of the bombs themselves and the formality of the writing style means we are not dealing with your average petrol-bomb- throwing neo-Nazi," said Robert Sturm, the spokesman for the police investigation. "We are up against a very intelligent opponent."
Like the infamous "Unabomber" in the US, Austria's letter bomber enjoys taunting the police when they make mistakes defusing his home-made devices. He also mocks them for pursuing false leads.
Opinion is divided as to whether there is just one person behind the BLA, or a small group. But experts agree that whoever is writing the letters is well-educated, probably aged between 50 and 70, and extremely xenophobic.
"The perpetrator's choice of historical hero makes it clear that he feels threatened by Slavs and people from the east," said Mr Spann. "He wants to put himself in the same tradition as the likes of Gerold and von Starhemberg."
The dismantling of the Iron Curtain in 1989 and the later eruption of war in the former Yugoslavia led to a dramatic increase in the number of foreigners, in particular east Europeans, seeking refuge in Austria. The far-right populist Jorg Haider wasted no time in fanning the flames of xenophobia to further his own political rise.
But while some Austrians would undoubtedly like to see fewer foreigners, there is universal revulsion for the letter bomber. The call to "liberate" ancient Bajuvaria also leaves them cold. "While there may be some sympathy for the aims, there is none whatever for the methods," said Wolfgang Neugebauer, an authority at Vienna's anti-fascist Documentation Centre. "Most people see this letter bomber as a sinister eccentric."
For the police, it has all become extremely embarrassing. Having interviewed more than 50,000 people and offered a reward of 14m schillings (pounds 775,000), they still do not appear to be any closer to solving the case. Some have accused them of not taking crimes committed by right-wing terrorists seriously enough, while others blame sheer incompetence.
In their defence, the Austrian police feel they have one convincing argument: they point out that it took their US counterparts 17 years to track down the "Unabomber".

Starbucks baristas union drive comes at key time [City Pages]
The effort to organize local latte-slingers could hurt the ailing chain
By Matt Snyders
It was a typical, busy Thursday afternoon at the Mall of America's first-floor Starbucks, and Erik Forman was four hours into his shift. The slight, 23-year-old barista was soon approached by a vaguely familiar face: Caroline Kaker, the chain's Bloomington-based district manager.
She pulled him aside and led him to the adjacent Barnes & Noble. There, she broke the grim news: You're fired.
Forman was stunned. Sure, two weeks earlier, he had shown up a half-hour late and was issued a written warning. But that wasn't why Forman was getting the ax today. Management decided to deep-six him after learning that Forman had discussed the warning with co-workers.
"Erik violated terms of his June 2008 final written corrective action by discussing it with a peer," reads the notice of separation.
But there was another topic Forman had discussed with peers, one not explicitly mentioned in the write-up: unionizing.
A member of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), Forman had been in the process of organizing his co-workers under the IWW banner for nearly two years.
"It started with workers during their situations during cigarette breaks, during car rides to and from work," Forman recalls. "We first approached the IWW in September of '06. They helped us figure out how to build a strategy."
In 2004, the IWW took on a Starbucks in Midtown Manhattan, with modest success. In the following years, the list of IWW Starbucks Union affiliates grew to include five other shops in New York City; two in Chicago; one in Grand Rapids, Michigan; and one in Rockville, Maryland.
Shortly after the first union sprouted in New York, Starbucks higher-ups exchanged concerned emails, leaked to The Wall Street Journal, about how to handle the epidemic of unionizing. One, dated October 29, 2004, begins with a blunt introduction: "Below is a summary of the recent developments in New York City regarding our attempts to thwart a potential union situation," it reads.
In March 2006, the IWW accused the coffee giant of union-busting and filed a charge with the National Labor Relations Board. Starbucks settled, agreeing to display workers' rights posters in three of its stores and to allow two fired workers back on staff.
"The reasons they gave for firing me were identical to what they did in New York," says Forman, who's also filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board. "This is a pretty blatant example of union-busting. We've been planning on making our movement public for a while—so even though it comes as a blow, it's kind of a galvanizing blow."
On July 11, one day after Forman got clipped, five workers walked off the floor and approached the floor manager, Jason Lyons, with a petition demanding Forman's reinstatement. Lyons told them it was out of his hands.
Now Forman and the IWW stand poised to organize baristas throughout the metro. On Monday, July 21, they went public. Their demands include a living wage, "respectful" scheduling, and an end to the company's alleged union-busting.
Asked about Forman's allegations, a Starbucks spokesperson had little to say.
"We just received the charge [from Forman] and we're reviewing it," says Stacey Krum, on the phone from Seattle. "There's nothing we can offer right now."
The charges clash with Starbucks' image as a corporate paragon of social responsibility. The Seattle-based chain has staked its reputation on progressive values that play well with its well-to-do clientele. Starbucks was listed as No. 7 in Fortune's "100 Best Companies to Work For" this year.
The most frequently extolled of Starbucks' labor practices is its healthcare program. It's one of the few major retailers to provide health insurance to part-time employees. But that comes with a couple of caveats.
First, in order to qualify, workers must log 240 hours per quarter. However, there are no guaranteed hours and many baristas complain of sporadic, unpredictable scheduling. As a result, only 65 percent of Starbucks workers, including management, meet the 240-hour minimum. Many of the remaining workers (particularly part-timers) decide not to buy into the plan; rent payments take priority over premiums.
Consequently, the company's health insurance plan covers less than half (40.9 percent) of employees. As organizers like to point out, that's less than the oft-demonized Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., which covers 47 percent of its workers.
"It's just incredible hypocrisy on this core identity issue," says IWW organizer Daniel Gross. "It's absolutely misleading. It's taken a sub-par program and turned it into a marketing advantage through spin and PR."
Last week, Starbucks released the full list of 600-odd stores expected to close in the coming months, including 27 in Minnesota. Sixteen of the doomed shops sit in the Twin Cities metro.The closings will affect some 12,000 workers nationwide. On Monday, Forman's former co-workers at the Mall of America's Starbucks walked off the floor and issued a letter to management demanding "just treatment of all employees affected by Starbucks' closure of stores nationwide." With an economy seemingly in free-fall and job security plummeting, unionization—for good or ill—enjoys more appeal than it did 10 years ago.
"This will be the biggest fire they've had to put out in a while," says Forman. "The economy is getting worse, people can't get by and are having to work 14-hour days. Management's biggest tool has always been the threat of firing. People are starting to think maybe that's a risk worth taking."

Is there a world in the NBA without Shaq? We are about to find out as former Miami Heat player Shaquille O'Neal announced his retirement to his fans and friends via Twitter. Are we shocked? I think some of you probably are, but I am pretty sure some others were expecting this, let's just hope this doesn't turn out to be one of those Brett Favre's "I am retiring, maybe I'm not, or maybe I am and I am not retiring after all" moment, because I don't think I can handle that, can you?
39 year-old Shaquille O'Neal announced today he is retiring from basketball after 19 seasons and 4 NBA rings. He is ready to say goodbye to the court and what will he be doing instead? He wouldn't say but he did invite the media to a press conference held at his house this Friday at 1:00 p.m where many questions would be answered about his decision and probably about his future plans.
This is the video Shaq posted and where in a few words he announced his departure.
"We did it. Nineteen years baby. I want to thank you very much, that's why I'm telling you first, I'm about to retire. Love you, talk to you soon."
Looking back in time and into the amazing career of Shaq in the NBA, we go to 1992 when he was a 20-year-old college student at LSU and Orlando Magic's newest addition, a year later he was named the Rookie of the Year and All-Rookie First Team. He left Orlando in 1996 and signed with the Lakers, with them he enjoyed his first three NBA championships. He later signed with the Heat in 2004, won his fourth NBA Championship in 2004 and became a Phoenix Suns player four years after that. The following year in 2009 he landed in Cleveland where he stayed until last year when he joined the Boston Celtics.
In this video below he spoke to Sports Center and as we told you before he didn't say much about his retirement. He did say what he is going to miss the most.
"I'm going to miss the competition. I'm going to miss, you know, the chase for the ring. You know, I'm actually going to miss everything."
And I wonder what will you miss the most about Shaquille O'Neal? Do you think this is not goodbye but see you later when I change my mind about my retirement?

However, Helen Sheppard is different. Her musical identity is so strong, she doesn't have to hide behind jazz standards or someone else's songs - she composes her own songs and writes her own lyrics. She is equally at home in diverse styles of music: soul, blues, ballad, jazz, Latin, etc., and in whatever style she chooses to sing, her musical personality shines through. Both her songs and her magnificent voice are instantly identifiable, and her lyrics have some spiritual connotations. We are proud to present the first CD recorded by this extraordinary talent. It is only a matter of time that Helen Sheppard will perform at the major international festivals and in big concert halls. She has arrived, and those on top will have to make some room for her.
Helen has several hundred songs in her archive, but for this CD she wrote new songs which were recorded live without overdubs. Her songs have been arranged by the equally talented composer, conductor, musician, and piano player Tom Unwin whose trio accompanies Helen Sheppard on this CD with Gary Evans on drums and Riaan Vosloo on double bass. Tom has also invited his fellow-musicians to contribute to the recording of some of the songs: Mick Green on saxophone, Martin Holland on trumpet, Tom Drewitt on guitar, and Marc Walpot on accordion.

New guy from FL
I decided to join the forum after browsing for a few weeks.
We just inherited an 8 month old GSD named "Pheobe". She is my 2nd large breed dog, but first large breed purebred. She is a high energy dog, yet very submissive and loves to work for us. We must have an assignment for her at all times. Pheobe walks about 4 miles per day (2 miles am and 2 miles pm). We also have a long haired piebald purebred miniature dauchshund named "Baxter". Baxter is a calm assertive dog that is assuredly the quintessential "alpha male". The pairing has been quite nice - as long as Pheebs has a task, Baxter very much appreciates laying in his tummy and watching her.
Some stats for your comments...
At 8 months Pheobe weights about 58 pounds, she eats 6 cups of Nitro Max Large Puppy Breed dry dog food. Heart worms are controlled with Heartguard and fleas with Comfortis. Baxter uses Trifexis, but recently has vomited it and I want to go back to the staggered approach with both dogs. Heartguard at time=zero, and Comfortis at time=5 days. Thoughts on my decisions for Pheobe?
She is the smartest dog I have ever had and that includes 4 doxies, a boxer/chow mix, a terrier/chow mix, and an English bulldog. Snaps of my fingers and a sharp "eeeyyh" will get her mindset in tune with me. I walk her on lead for the first mile, correcting for my pace at no more than a head's length in front of my left leg movement and the last mile, I take her off lead and correct with snaps and verbals. She is brilliant as I can get her to "heel" with distractions already. I'm excited about the audible control I have of this dog - more than I ever had in any dog before. She is truly a follower, and I want that in a big dog like this. Any predictions on how big she will grow? I'm guessing around 75-85 pounds? Maybe a little less?
Excited to finally have a GSD. Looking forward to learning from all of you and maybe one day help others out.

Ceiling Repair in Leonville, LA
Catstrong Restoration employs numerous methods to fix damaged sheetrock. The most ideal option is directly related to the degree of the damage (small or substantial area) and location ( ceiling or wall ).
Repair Option 1: Self-Adhesive Mesh Drywall Patch
Drywall patches are widely offered at home remodeling shops that consist of a skinny metal mesh with a sticky backing. The metal mesh provides support for the drywall drywall mud. The patch is attached over the hole, drywall mud, sand and paint. Self-adhesive metal patches function most effectively on wall surfaces and modest holes, but typically sag when used on ceilings. Catstrong restoration therefore selected not to make use of a metal repair patch.
Repair Option 2: Cut Out and Replace with New Drywall
The most effective way to repair the roughly 6 ″ by 6 ″ area of damaged drywall ceiling is to cut out the area and replace it with a new portion of drywall by mounting a wood support frame, tape the joints, apply joint compound, sand and paint. One of the most difficult part was working on the extension ladder to reach the high ceiling.
Repair Option 3: Install a Drywall Access Panel
The problem with Options 1 and 2 are if the leak were to transpire once again, you'll be redoing the ceiling repairs. Depending upon the nature of the leak, it may be needed to cut an opening in the ceiling to deal with the plumbing. CatStrong Restoration has utilized bauco drywall access panels. The bauco access panel solves both the repair service and plumbing access complications.

How about Frederic Malle's Musc Ravageur Oil ? Note are bergamot, tangerine, cinnamon, vanilla, musk and amber - taken from theperfumedcourt.com.
Thread: Non floral, preferably not sweet |
I'm trying to pull together a collection of non floral scents. I've listed a few to start the ball rolling. I'm struggling and would love some help. This quest started as a challenge as I have a woman friend who seaching for an oil based perfume with a non floral scent. She is currently using and old bottle of Eau de Quinine which was created as a man's perfume.
My list
Angel by Thierry Mugler.
Feminite du bois by Serge Lutens - too sweet and alcohol based
Timbuktu by l'Artisan Parfumeur - this qualifies as the floral tones are muted
Organza Indecence by Givenchy does not qualify as it has a very sweet woody note
your suggestions are most welcome.

Regina Harris Vanilla Amber oil ?

Petty small minded people have no place in my life.
May we ask why non-alcohol?
Alcohol is in general the base for the vast majority of perfumery. That being said, there are a number of fragrance lines where there are some oil alternatives. I've enjoyed the oils I've bought from Ayala Moriel - Ayalitta is a fresh, green favorite of mine from her line.
Since she is looking for oils, lines worth exploring might be: dragonflyblue.com, Madini, Attar Bazaar, Auric Blends, Kuumba Made, and Nemat. That said, I am not sure if any of these are avaiable where you are. They all have lovely wood, incense or musk scents.
CB I Hate Perfume. His perfumes are oil or water based (most are available in both formats) and plenty of them are non-floral.
If oil based isn't mandatory, Parfumerie Generale also has a lot of non-floral perfumes.
To get more specific, the following are no- or low-floral and not too sweet, but most of them are alcohol-based:
Art of Shaving Sandalwood (Yes, it's a man's scent. I don't care.)
Bois 1920 Sushi Imperiale
Chanel Cuir de Russie (Well, there's iris. Does she consider iris to be floral? Since the iris note in perfumes comes from a root, one that doesn't smell the least bit like a flower to me, I generally don't.)
Comme des Garcons: Leaves: Tea
Hermessence Vetiver Tonka
L'Artisan Dzing!
L'Artisan Dzongkha!
L'Artisan Fou d'Absinthe
L'Artisan Navegar
L'Artisan Tea for Two (fairly sweet, but I think it's worth a try)
Le Labo Patchouli 24
Pacifica Tuscan Blood Orange (might be too sweet)
Parfumerie Generale Bois Blond
Parfumerie Generale Cuir d'Iris (again, unless iris root is a floral for her)
Parfumerie Generale Felanilla
Parfumerie Generale Harmatan Noir
Parfumerie Generale Iris Taizo/Oriental (unless...)
Parfumerie Generale L'Eau Rare Matale
Parfumerie Generale Cedre Sandaraque
Parfumerie Generale Un Crime Exotique
Robert Piguet Bandit
Serge Lutens Fille en Aiguilles
Serge Lutens Fumerie Turque
Serge Lutens Iris Silver Mist (unless...)
Serge Lutens Muscs Koublai Khan (might be too sweet, might be too sweaty.)
Serge Lutens Santal Blanc
Serge Lutens Serge Noire
Does Liz Zorn use an oil base? I know she does natural scents.
"...her fragrance all in my keeping; softly she comes in the night." Lyrics, Gordon Lightfoot, "Softly."
There are lots of oils in bath shops and boutiques, many non-florals. Take a look at the Davies Gate line. Their Mandarin is a nice orange. Not sure if Hermes still makes Eau des Merveilles body oil, but it's wonderful and completely non-floral -- citrus, woods, pepper, ambergris.
Not sure I understand this: ALL the frags you listed are water and alcohol based, not just Feminite du Bois. Do you mean to say that it smells of alcohol? That usually dissipates quickly.
There are many oils available, but if you want non sweet and non floral, you might want to look at musk oils. Most do contain some floral essences, because without them, the musk would be horrid, but they are not prominent. I really like Kiehl's Musk oil for that reason.

Employee vs. Subcontractor:
What's the Difference and Why You Should Care
If you want to calculate out an employee's real hourly rate, after taxes, benefits, and overhead costs, check out What's the Real Cost of an Employee? (online calculator)
Correctly determining whether someone is a subcontractor or an employee has many important consequences for your business.
It will affect:
- Company FICA, FUTA and SUTA payments
- Workers' Compensation insurance cost
- Liability insurance cost
- Benefits, such as paid time off and health insurance
- Other expenses, including training, office space or equipment
- Quarterly and/or year-end filing with the state and IRS
- What kind of records you must keep
Businesses may receive significant economic benefits by working with independent contractors instead of hiring employees.
These include reduced or no employer contribution to FICA, FUTA or SUTA, no need to provide benefits, tools and equipment or training, and no need to keep paying someone when a job is completed or pay out against unemployment claims.
Because of this, many businesses have classified workers as independent contractors when they should treat them as employees.
Incorrectly classifying a worker can be very expensive for a business.
If the business is audited by the IRS or Department of Unemployment Assistance (DUA), or the worker does not pay their own self-employment or income taxes, the company may be responsible for those taxes, plus interest and penalties.
There may be serious workers' compensation issues if the worker is injured and opens a claim against the company's policy. Even if they are not injured, most insurance companies will require you to cover ALL subcontractors under your policy unless you can show they have separate coverage.
Liability may also be an issue, especially if the worker does not carry their own general liability insurance or has insufficient coverage. If they cause an accident, damage your equipment or premises or injure someone else while performing work for you, you may be the one paying for it.

The U.S. Airways jet that made a miraculous landing on the Hudson River two years ago finally reached its Charlotte, N.C. destination on Friday. The Carolinas Aviation Museum will become the damaged craft's permanent home. It has been housed at a Newark, N.J. hangar since the crash.
An amazing rescue
In 2009, Flight 1549 was bound for Charlotte, N.C. It had just taken off from New York's LaGuardia airport on Jan. 15, when it was disabled by a flock of seagulls. Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger, who has since been honored as a hero, brought the craft down for an emergency landing in the Hudson River. All 155 passengers and crew were safely rescued.
Thousands line the roads
The 120-foot fuselage made a slow, 600-mile journey by flatbed truck from New Jersey to the North Carolina museum. The wings had been removed and shipped earlier. Thousands of people have lined the roads of several states to watch the progress of the craft.
'Surprising and wonderful'
Pilot Sullenberger said, "When I see images of people in their lawn chairs waiting for the airplane to roll by on the freeway overpass with a camera to get a glimpse of it is surprising and wonderful."
A catalyst for change
Sullenberger, who recently became an aviation and safety expert for CBS News, commented on how the event changed his life. "I was completely anonymous," he said. "I had never done any public speaking before in my entire life. Now it's my main job."
The event has changed others as well. "For many, it's become an impetus for change," Sullenberger continued. "[It became] a catalyst for living a more authentic, fuller life. For me, it's given me the ability to be an advocate of important things." He has since become an advocate for flight safety and improved working conditions for pilots.
'Finally come home'
Eileen Shleffar, who was a passenger on the ill-fated flight, said, "My flight has finally come home." She and fellow passengers posed for photos with the fuselage when it arrived at the Charlotte/Douglas International Airport. "It's emotional," she added.
A reception planned
A reception will be held Saturday to honor the passengers and the crew of the flight that has become know as "the miracle on the Hudson." Sullenberger will speak at the event. It will be the first time the passenger and crew members have been reunited since the incident.

If you're not daring to believe God for the impossible, you may be sleeping through some of the best parts of your Christian Life.
This book is not a Snuggie. The words on these pages will not go down like Ambien. I'm not writing to calm or coddle you. With God's help, I intend to incite a riot in your mind. Trip your breakers and turn out the lights in your favorite hiding places of insecurity and fear. Then flip the switch back on so that God's truth can illuminate the divine destiny that may have been lying dormant inside you for years.
In short, I'm out to activate your audacious faith. To inspire you to ask God for the impossible. And in the process, to reconnect you with your God-sized purpose and potential.
©2010 Random House Audio; 2010 Steven Furtick
"Steven Furtick challenges all of us—from the missionary in the third world to the family in the suburbs—to believe God for the impossible and begin living a life of faith beyond the ordinary." (Andy Stanley, senior pastor, North Point Community Church)
"I don't know anyone better positioned to challenge you to rise above mundane living and embrace faith-filled audacity than Steven Furtick." (Craig Groeschel, senior pastor, LifeChurch.tv)
"For too long Christians have embraced a miniscule vision of faith.… Steven Furtick reminds us that the God who accomplished the impossible through the great heroes of faith still desires to do the same through us today." (Jentezen Franklin, senior pastor, Free Chapel)
"Great! Inspirational! Moving!"
It reminded me that that God wants us to have great life. Not the ordinary 9 to 5; waiting to retire at 62 life. It's not an easy thing to live an extraordinary and fulfilled life, and God is with us but we must have an audacious faith.
His reading is alive.
It moved me to go after my big dreams!
I am a student and teacher, father and friend, and husband to the love of my life. I work for the Oklahoma State Department of Health as a Local Emergency Response Coordinator.
"If you want to Grow its a must read"
There is nothing like hearing the passion in the authors voice.
Faith is made for overcoming fear. Prayer is for stiring faith.
This book was inspiring and challenging. I will never see pryer as a vague religous duty again.Thank You Steven Furtick for being obedient and writting this God inspired work. It spoke directly to where I was and help me to climb to the next level of faith.
"Milk and Honey"
I was predisposed to love this book, primarily because over the years, Joshua's life and his battles have impacted me. It isn't so much the battles that I enjoy; primarily I'm awed by his faith. When I listened to this persons account of their life; speaking about how their faith opened doors; in the telling of the story, he too experienced 'Sun Stand Still' miracles. Yet, I didn't have the same degree of awe as I'd experienced when reading about Joshua's accounts. I suppose I wanted to hear more. Perhaps, I needed fuller descriptions. But, all in all; I cannot deny that, in his life he too experienced God's miracle working power.
"Very Good"
Thought this was a great book. Read lots of reviews on other sites before i bought it. The people with the bad reviews seem to be people looking for anything to be negative about. Listened to the whole book and really have nothing bad to say about. Very good listen!!!
I haven't read a lot of Christian books but of the few that I have read this definitely is by far my favorite. In this book, Pastor Steven, gives the tools we need to have that audacious faith most Christians seek to have. If you allow it, this book will revolutionize the way you pray and teach you how to pray without fear. Since he's the narrator it give it the personal touch to the book which truly made a difference. It was like he was preaching only to me.
"Pray Boldly"
Encouraged me to pray boldly with audacious faith! I thought it was awesome that it was narrated by Pastor Steven Furtick himself.
"motivating "
great narration & very motivating. Love how the book is written based on Gods word
It is an awesome read. It compels you to move forward and not accept or do the basic. The mundane things we do is unacceptable. To win for Christ and do for the kingdom, you must push past the limits. Especially the ones we have been so comfortable with. We have to do it in prayer.
"Some Reviewers Must Not Have Read This Book"
This work has been characterized by some bloggers as a book that promotes "Name It/Claim It" doctrine. I did not find anything to support such allegations. In fact Furtick goes to great lengths to challenge readers to pray audacious prayers, not for their own benefit, but to glorify God. Some reviews were so far off base I wonder if they read any of the book at all. Very little of the book will make sense to someone who does not believe the Bible.
This book challenged me. It helped me remember the scary-big ideas God has placed in me. It reminds me those ideas are possible in Christ.
The author understands that we are all called to ministry and there is no distinction between full-time and whatever else we might be. He reminds each of us that we are called to be God's change agent and that we have what we need,
This book is personal and narrated by the author. His passion comes through. His emotion is energizing. I recommend this if you want your faith to change your life.

A recent news story about
a message in a bottle has gathered international attention. If you
haven't heard the story yet, it goes like this: a New Zealander,
Geoff Flood, was walking along the beach last year when he discovered
a bottle with a message inside. The message was dated March 17,
1936, and contained the sender's name and address in Australia.
After doing much research, Flood discovered that the original sender
of the message had died in the 1940s. However, Flood was able to
locate the grandson and reunite him with this remembrance of his
grandfather. To view the video, click here:
I'm not surprised this
story has been so popular. It speaks to so many things that
preoccupy us: the romanticism and vastness of open seas; the
relentless passage of time; the need to be connected when faced with
solitude; the importance of roots and family, among them. It brings
to mind that wonderful Jim Croce song, Time in
a Bottle, that turned out to be so sadly
prophetic of his own early death at the age of 30.
