The brand's unique identifier for a product. Multiple product codes can be mapped to one mother product code if the specifications are identical. We map away wrong codes or sometimes logistic variants.
The motherboard or mainboard is the component that connects all the different parts of your computer. Often it has some integrated components like a sound card, enabling your computer to play sound, or a network card, to connect your computer to the network. The standard form factor (size) for motherboards is ATX, you need at least a midi-tower to fit one of those in. Micro-ATX motherboards are often more complete and have more onboard devices, like a video board and fit in smaller cases, but are generally less expandable.

Short Shorts for Winter
Hi All,
This came from a UK newspaper article yesterday. Just wondering....is anyone out there brave enough to be wearing short shorts in the winter. I'd really like to get my legs out - but I'm just not sure if I'm brave enough. I love the way they are dressed up below - with tights or even with bear legs. Do you think I should just go for it? Advice welcome! Charlotte F [IMG]/stylesheets/portal/images/slideshow/pre_off.gif[/IMG][IMG]/stylesheets/portal/images/slideshow/next_off.gif[/IMG] ANTASTIC FOUR: SHORT SHORTS [IMG]/stylesheets/portal/images/slideshow/pre_off.gif[/IMG] Short shorts are enjoying a renaissance. They are proving - bizarrely - to be a big hit for winter, and are set to continue as a major trend for next summer. However, they can be tricky to wear. To avoid looking like a pantomime extra, choose your separates carefully. Pictures by Christopher Cox |
01-12-2005 | |
I've been wearing silk shorts over tights to go out in. Mine aren't tight though so it's not too slapperish. The key is thick opaque tights.
I've still been wearing my city shorts over crochet tights. You can layer tights as well for more layers!

I wear mine with opaque thights (and sometimes with legwarmers too)
when it was getting cold I was wondering if shorts and thights will look idiotic together, but they really don't!!

Here is an updated list of the individual game odds for the remaining games of the NLCS. As a reminder, the way the game odds are calculated is take the Vegas odds of the Cardinals winning the NLCS, which the last time I looked was (-350, +290) 76.19% chance of winning. We can give the Dodgers a 0% chance of winning for the games they already lost and we can input a win probability of 47.4% for Game #3 as those odds have already been published. Now to figure out the odds of the remaining games (Games 4-7) we need to adjust them until the string of games gives us a 23.81% chance of the Dodgers winning the series. To do this, I used the nifty excel spreadsheet that one of my readers gave me in the comments of the previous post on this topic. While these won't be the likely odds for Games four thru seven they are good "ballpark" estimates. And if you don't agree with any of these game odds, that is fine... but you will need to adjust the odds of some of the other games to even out any changes you made one way or the other.
Game | Away Starter | Home Starter | Dodgers Odds |
1 | Zack Greinke | Joe Kelly | 0.0% |
2 | Clayton Kershaw | Michael Wacha | 0.0% |
3 | Adam Wainwright | Hyun-Jin Ryu | 47.4% |
4 | Shelby Miller | Ricky Nolasco | 59.0% |
5 | Joe Kelly | Zack Greinke | 65.0% |
6 | Clayton Kershaw | Michael Wacha | 57.0% |
7 | Hyun-Jin Ryu | Adam Wainwright | 42.0% |
Total | 23.8% |

Anthony Lewis, Who Transformed Coverage of the Supreme Court, Dies at 85
Anthony Lewis, a former New York Times reporter and columnist whose work won two Pulitzer Prizes and transformed American legal journalism, died on Monday at his home in Cambridge, Mass. He was 85.The cause was complications of renal and heart failure, said his wife, Margaret H. Marshall, a retired chief justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.Mr. Lewis brought passionate engagement to his two great themes: justice and the role of the press in a democracy. His column, called "At Home Abroad" or "Abroad at Home" depending on where he was writing from, appeared on the Op-Ed page of The Times from 1969 to 2001. His voice was liberal, learned, conversational and direct....

Stephen B. Bright and Sia M. Sanneh: "Gideon v. Wainwright", Fifty Years Later
Stephen B. Bright, who teaches at Yale Law School, is president and senior counsel of the Southern Center for Human Rights in Atlanta. Sia M. Sanneh, Senior Liman Fellow at Yale Law School, is an attorney with the Equal Justice Initiative in Alabama.March 18 marked the fiftieth anniversary of one of the Supreme Court's most celebrated decisions, Gideon v. Wainwright, in which the Court unanimously declared that poor people accused of crimes are entitled to lawyers and that every person "stands equal before the law." But resistance to—and outright defiance of—this landmark ruling endures. Fairness and equality are in short supply in the criminal courts, which have incarcerated 2.3 million people, a grossly disproportionate number of them people of color. Because a major consequence of poverty is often inadequate representation, racial discrimination in the system as a whole—from stops by police, to disparities in charging, to the exclusion of blacks and Latinos from juries, to the severity of sentences—often goes unchallenged and even unremarked upon.

Paul Butler: Gideon's Muted Trumpet
Paul Butler, a professor of law at Georgetown University and a former federal prosecutor, is the author of "Let's Get Free: A Hip-Hop Theory of Justice."FIFTY years after the Supreme Court, in Gideon v. Wainwright, guaranteed legal representation to poor people charged with serious crimes, low-income criminal defendants, particularly black ones, are significantly worse off.Don't blame public defenders, who are usually overwhelmed. The problem lies with power-drunk prosecutors — I know, because I used to be one — and "tough on crime" lawmakers, who have enacted some of the world's harshest sentencing laws. They mean well, but have created a system that makes a mockery of "equal justice under the law." A black man without a high school diploma is more likely to be in prison than to have a job.

Pamela S. Karlan: "Gideon" Turns 50
Pamela S. Karlan is Kenneth and Harle Montgomery Professor of Public Interest Law at Stanford Law School.This spring marks the 50th anniversary of Gideon v. Wainwright, in which the Supreme Court considered the Sixth Amendment's guarantee that "in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right . . . to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence." The Court unanimously interpreted the Amendment as requiring that states provide attorneys for defendants who lack the resources to hire them privately. The "noble ideal" that "every defendant stands equal before the law," Justice Hugo Black's opinion declared, "cannot be realized if the poor man charged with crime has to face his accusers without a lawyer to assist him." Given an attorney for his retrial, Clarence Gideon was acquitted.Today, the vast majority of felony defendants depend on appointed counsel to represent them, and the quality of representation varies wildly.

Main title | Public debt and financial crises in the twentieth century |
Author | Schularick, Moritz |

Series | ; 2012,1 : Economics |
Classification (DDC) | 336 Public finance |
Abstract | The costs of wars have been the main driver of public debt in the Western World during the modern era. The late twentieth century stands out as a period that saw a pronounced increase of government debt to GDP ratios in peacetime. This paper assesses the role that financial crises have played in shaping the public debt trajectory in the twentieth century. Focusing on the experiences of 14 industrial economies, I show that financial crises have long and lasting effects on public finances. I provide evidence that the costs of financial crises have increased strongly in the second half of the twentieth century and that the costs of financial crises grow with the size of the financial sector. In many countries, the rising costs incurred from stabilizing the economy after financial crises were an important cause of the peacetime surge of public debt ratios in the late twentieth century.

Glenn Rogers needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 72 designs submitted by 18 freelance designers.
A photo database system for organizing an company's photo collection. It is server-based multi-user software. We sell primarily to engineering firms.
My current logo and product info website is at grrsystems.com.
NOTE: The product will NO LONGER be called DBGallery.
I fully expect the product will be named something like "Photo Collection.Organization" or "Photo Assets.Organization", which will translate into a .org TLD. Notice the 'dot. in the product name.
Looking for a product logo (not a company logo). The logo mush say "photo organization!".
I would be selling to engineers (they do the initial product solution research to find the my product) and managers of a company (they decide to purchase the software so their personnel can organization their thousands of photos). Must appeal to engineers who would be the primary users of the software.
Expected age group: 30 - 60.
Using the orange and dark grey steel look as seen in the current product's website screenshot which is attached would likely work well.

Super Action Ball (DOS)
Critic Score
100 point score based on reviews from various critics. ...
User Score
5 point score based on user ratings. |
Super Action Ball is a Korean-made humorous arcade-style football (soccer) game. Teams consisting of four players each compete in small stadiums. Though the background graphics suggest open-air areas, the ball can ricochet off the field's borders and is physically unable to leave it. Most football rules and features (offside, corner kick, etc.) besides passing, tackling, and kicking the ball are omitted. There is also no half-time; the player can determine the length of the game, ranging from three to twelve minutes.Contrary to regular soccer rules, the game allows kicking and tackling players who are not in possession of the ball. Players lose hitpoints and become incapacitated for a short while. In addition, damaging objects may be thrown on the field, and some of the stadiums contain traps. All the players are either "super-deformed" humans or little monsters; any line-up of these can be chosen to form a team. The game can be played by two human opponents, or against computer AI.

Sony has unveiled its latest in the PS Vita line, a trimmed-down console available in six different colours.
Given its bow at the Tokyo Game show, the PS Vita 2000 is 20 per cent thinner and 15 per cent lighter than previous incarnations.
It will go on sale for 41,979 yen (£270) in Japan on 10 October. It has 1GB internal memory, and the Japan-based company will release 64GB memory cards for it.
Sony also unveiled their new PS Vita TV, a set-top box which can connect to a television, putting the game on a bigger screen. It can also be used to stream a selection of 1,300 Playstation games.
Neither product has a UK or US release date yet.
Meanwhile, Sony announced that the Japanese release of the much-anticipated PlayStation 4 will be three months after it hits UK shops.
The £349 console will be available in the UK in November but Japanese gamers will have to wait until 22 February to get their hands on one.
The company said it staggered the release date to ensure it has enough time to tailor software to the region.
But Stuart Miles, founder of the gadget website Pocket Lint, cast doubt on this explanation and suggested the delay was arranged to give Sony time to produce more consoles.
"It looks like demand is so high that they can't make enough of them to service the home market," he said.
"It's a good problem to have but if you are a Japanese gamer and Sony, a Japanese company, tells you they are going to service the rest of the world first, it's a bit annoying."

"Duct tape is like the force: It has a dark side and a light side and it holds the universe together."- Carl Zwanzig
looks fast and challenging!
Ride hard but avoid the hikers
When we riding it Gore?
How far was the walk, and how long did it take?
Ride hard but avoid the hikers
We only did about 4.5 miles, but it's part of the Pennine way so it's possible to do a hell of a lot more.
I was a teenage werewolf!
I realise it is a LONG way to do it all, just wondered how far you went and how long it took you... Was it a there and back or a loop?
Ride hard but avoid the hikers
We just did there and back but it could easily be done point to point or looped. Starting from Cowgreen reservoir and following the river east would be the best way to do it IMO.

Learning Dothraki
So you are interested in learning about Dothraki. Perhaps you aim to become a speaker some day or you just want to learn some phrases. Well, you have come to the right place. This wiki is a collection of all that is known publicly about the language and it is intended to work as the main platform for people interested in learning the language.
At this point in time we are still in the process of finding out all the details about the language so a lot of information is not yet available but it will get added continuously as we learn more.
This page will serve as a starting point and will have links to all the other pages that contain the grammar and vocabulary of the Dothraki language.
The first thing you might want to do is to check out the Dothraki Speakers and Learners Registry to find other people who are also interested in learning to speak Dothraki.
Contents |
There are also two unofficial dictionaries that we compile:
Dothraki to English dictionary
English to Dothraki dictionary (This is simply a reverse of the other dictionary so it may not always look as clean as the first one.)
Case studies: Chom, Qoy (includes extensive showcases on declensions and derivations)
Memrise vocabulary course for beginners
Memrise vocabulary course for beginners (Italian)
Learning a language isn't just about learning the words. It is also important to know how to use these words to make understandable sentences.
Assigning Cases and Prepositions
Other word classes
To learn a language you don't only need to know the words and how to use them, you also need to know how to pronounce them.
Specific uses
All languages have their own distinct way they are used that depends on the culture of the people that are speaking the language. This creates specific uses for words that can only really be understood in the context of a specific culture.

Sandy Johnstone, LTC Strategy Manager at Norwich Union,commented:
"We are delighted that the Government is now addressing thisissue and announcing a preference for full regulation (option 3).The main objective at this stage has to be that good consumeradvice and protection in the long term care insurance market isdelivered as quickly as possible, bearing in mind that so much isset to change in the provision of care in the New Year.
"On the subject of CAT standards, we welcome the fact that TheCommittee saw fit to involve the insurance industry right from thestart. We believe that these standards will foster a higher levelof consumer understanding which will lead to informed choices beingmade.
"We now have the prospect of consumer protection and educationall in the one package. This is bound to move the market forwardand, at last, we are released from all the uncertainties of thepast. The Minister, in her statement, described LTCI as important;I couldn't agree more."

The problems which I encountered with WWW::SimpleRobot related to the traverse function not returning traversal results via the $object->pages and $object->urls methods - The problem appeared to relate to the shift method by which the author was iterating through the constructed queue undefining the @pages results array before it was returned at the end of the function. Better than just reporting this to the author, I have submitted a fix patch which corrects this behaviour by pushing results into a separate array to the queue.
Note that I never meant for my little piece of code to be viewed as a code fork from WWW::SimpleRobot but rather just an additional available option. Ooohhh, Rob no beer function well without!

PLEASANTON (AP) — The government of India is urging the United States to show leniency toward Indian students who were enrolled at a "sham university" in the East Bay that U.S. authorities say was a front for illegal immigration.
The U.S. attorney's office alleges the owner of Tri-Valley University in Pleasanton used the unaccredited school to charge foreigners millions of dollars in tuition fees and help them obtain student visas to stay in the U.S.
Officials at Tri-Valley did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday.
There were 1,555 students enrolled at Tri-Valley last fall and about 95 percent of them were from India, according to a complaint filed Jan. 19 in U.S. District Court in San Francisco.
Many of those students, who took Tri-Valley courses online, could be deported if they are found to be in violation of their immigration status.
Indian officials say the students are being "treated like criminals" by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents even though they were issued valid U.S. visas by American consular officials in India.
"I don't think any of them had any idea this was a sham university," said Susmita Gongulee Thomas, consul general of India in San Francisco. "I don't think any of them had the motivation to defraud any rules of the U.S. government … These students came here genuinely to improve their prospects and they should not be criminalized or victimized."
Students told Indian consulate officials that they were searched, treated rudely and handcuffed before being taken into immigration offices for questioning, Thomas said.
Many have been forced to wear ankle bracelets to track their movements with radio frequency signals, and they must report to immigration officials regularly while they go through deportation proceedings, Gongulee Thomas said.
Indian officials are asking the U.S. government to stop requiring the students to wear the ankle monitors.
"They felt threatened and intimidated by the ICE officials," Thomas said. "We in India do not treat anyone other than criminals with anything that resembles ankle bracelets or handcuffs."
In New Delhi, External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna expressed concern about the way the students have been treated.
"We demand that the U.S. government initiate severe action against those officials responsible for this inhuman act. Indian students are not criminals," Krishna said Monday. "The radio collars should immediately be removed."
"The Ministry will extend all help to the students. The parents need not worry since the matter has been taken up with appropriate authorities," Krishna added.
U.S. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said Monday the use of radio monitors is widespread and standard for investigations and "does not necessarily imply guilt or suspicion of criminal activity."
"It allows for freedom of movement and is a positive alternative to confinement during a pending investigation," Crowley said.
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Agency is establishing a help line for the Indian students affected by the school's closure, Crowley said.
Indian officials are asking that the students be allowed to transfer to other U.S. universities or be allowed to return to India without being deported, which would prevent them from returning to the U.S. and hurt their employment prospects back home, Thomas said.

I do believe it when the Chinese stated that the J-10 is comparable to the F-16 block 50s. The reason I believe it is because the J-10 contains so much U.S contents. As we know the Israelis sold technologies from the Lavi when the Chinese began this program, and even after they formally ended cooperation in this project Israelis maintained an office in China(I think it's safe to say that they were aiding the Chinese). Overall the U.S invested around 2 billion dollars into the Lavi program and only to have the technolgies ended up in Chinese hands.
There were also rumours which the PLAAF(Chinese AF) obtained several F-16 block 15s from Pakistan in the mid 1990's.

Just received my 500ml bottle today. Two squirts last until I shower, if it hits my hair line, it lingers until shampooed. It is absolute perfection mixed with mysterious Mata Hari. Huge fan of Tom Ford but this is truly bumping Vanilla Leather out of the #1 position.
Just a warning to people.... any batch codes listed as C68 or A52 or A73 are most likely FAKE. An easy way to spot a fake is to also look at the number 7 at the bottom of the bottle if it's 50ml... If it isnt a straight stem, it's fake.
Most purple patchoulis coming from Sophia (Bulgaria) or Russia are FAKE. Any Tom Fords coming in white "demo" boxes are FAKE.
There was one purple patchouli listed on eBay from a seller in Canada that was legit but I think it sold now. It's easy to replicate purple patchouli so buyer beware. I find a 4ml sample of this (from a legit seller) will last you forever and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.
I was lucky enough to find this a few years back and I have barely made it through my bottle because it's SO strong and POWERFUL.
The scent is very 80s. Lush, dark and overwhelming. I'm thinking wolf of wall street chic- fast moving, rich, hedonistic and very kinky. LOTS of purple. What does that even mean? I don't know but every-time I wear this I can literally envision the colour purple and what feelings a purple scent should evoke. Violets, orchids, poisonous flowers...opium, smoky clubs filled with decadent dreamers, women wearing nothing but black fur and stockings, men in sharp suits with sleeked back hair and purple ties. It's crazy, earlier Tom Ford offerings were true to his intense persona. Very heavy and very much so like his marketing campaigns, laced with sensuality.
There might be no purple flowers in this per say but that's all I can envision. The patchouli in this offering is very different from the dirty, raw patchouli I am accustomed to. It's a lady-like patchouli- feminine yet dominant. I'm pretty sure the jasmine has something to do with it. Oddly enough, the jasmine in this fragrance does NOT turn fecal on me which is a major accomplishment. The sillage will blow you away and into the next room. Longevity is there as well.
I just found a 50ml of this wonderful scent on eBay with a batch number from 2007. It is amazing!! Lasts forever and a day. I am SO happy I was able to FINALLY find one of my unicorns!
@Purpleaddict: Please do not seek the counterfeited Purple Patchouli as it is total crap and a hot synthetic mess and smells nothing like the original. There is a 60ml decant of the original stuff on eBay right now that's been there forever and is legit. It is worth the asking price, just pay it and for God's sake, do not buy the counterfeit and wear that travesty, you'll only be fooling yourself and you're going to stink...
@Desertmirage93 im really unhappy,unluky ,by the way tks for the clarification ,helpfull , im gonna seek the counterfeited , what can i do :purple addict
Pls can some one give us the name of a similar perfum like the purple patchouli
Neeeeeed help
I'm about to make a very bold statement. THIS IS THE GREATEST PATCHOULI EVER. *out of breath*
Ok now that I got that out of the way, I can calmly state that this is the greatest patchouli ever.
This stuff is great in so many ways. It starts off with a patchouli blast with floral notes desperately trying to break through. I picture a lonely woman in a Sunday dress stuck in an 80's club in Miami trying to find an exit. After a couple minutes, the patchouli settles down and the floral and Amber notes kick in. Don't expect an Amber Absolute type of Amber here. This is more subtle.
This fragrance is also pretty potent. When I spray on my skin, the oil sits for quite a while before the alcohol can evaporate it away.
I'm pretty sure it was slightly reformulated toward the end, but nothing major.
As I said, this stuff is amazing. If you can get it somewhat cheap, jump on it. I pray for the day it is re-released. I have 2 bottles both at about 20%. I hate to think of the day where I have to buy another. No fragrance is worth the price this sells for now that it is discontinued. Having that said, I may pay the inflation to keep this as a staple in my wardrobe!
Did I mention this is the greatest patchouli ever? ;)
It's just okay. Honestly, nothing that extraordinary to me, and certainly not worth the asking price.(seeing as the asking price is over $200+ for a 25ml bottle on ebay). I asked my bf what he thought it smelled like and he said "a bouquet of sour fruit?" which is funny to me. All I get is a light jasmine and a little patchouli.
It's not BAD, it's certainly wearable and nice enough, but it's not special. Maybe it'd be better if I sprayed it on instead of dabbing?
I got a small decant of this and it's one of the most potent scents I've come across. I do detect the patchouli but it's smothered by a violet floral that is just too feminine for my liking. Not a bad scent at all and you literally need one drop of this and you're good for a day.
I went way out of my way to buy a decant of this. Some time in late 2014 I PM'd a few folks that had it. Luckily one guy in my city had it and decanted this and Japon Noir right in font of me! What an expierence! I am just now sampling it and I am not that enthused about it. Sure the patch is there but the peru balsam overwhelms it. I have never smelled this note so this has to be it. It is an earthy note I am assuming blended with the patch but this is not to my liking. I still have about 5 ml's left.
I can't really write a better review, but want to add I'm now depressed that I purchased my 1ml. I will probably never know what it's like to spray this on, and that's a sad thought. This is marvelous.
Some people have asked me to do a review on this, since I mentioned it in my Patchouli Absolute review. They suggested that since I brought it up by comparison that it was a disservice not to explain why I think it's so much better. Ok, point taken!
The reviews here are so good and in depth, I wouldn't really know what to add, plus this fragrance is extremely hard to find, but I'll tell you why I think its so great.
Those of us who like patchouli find it relativley easy to like a scent that is strong with is ingredient. But there are some who, for some reason have very negative association with it.
Why, I don't know...maybe someone unshowered, smelly and sweaty decided to rub themselves in patchouli oil and that combo resulted in the most revolting scent and almost made you vomit. I've smelled that tye of thing before, at yoga classes and the around the so called, "dirty hippe" crowd. So I understand that negative experience.
Which brings me to Purple Patchouli. If you are one of those people who are anti-patchouli, then let me tell you what your missing, using this fragrance. If there were ever a scent that will/could change that association, this is the one!
Unlike many patchouli fragrances, that are earthy smelling, this one is sweet and almost velvety by comparison. Not sweet like candy or chocolate, but more vanilla-ish or like almond and honey, yet it's not foodlike. It's....well sweet, seductive and sensual really.
If you can imagine a bed, covered in silky black sheets, blanketed with exotic purple orchids, intoxicating nightblooming jasmine, amber nuggets and some type of honey dust sprinkled on top. Then you find yourself are rolling around in it...imagine that scent, how intoxicating and almost spa like that would be, and then anticipation of someone special about to join you....
It's all very alluring and sensual, the complete opposit of any negative association you may have.
The closest thing Tom Ford makes that is in the same category, sensual, mysterious and alluring is "Noir de Noir," and if you've smelled that and like it, then you will like this as well.
Purple Patchouli is a unique interpretaion of patchouli and it is like I said before....heavenly!
If you can find some, you will be very lucky indeed. And if you have had negative experiences with patchouli, get yourself a sample of this and experience it, you'll see how beautiful a patchouli fragrance can be and it will surely change your mind.
This is my literal wet dream of a fragrance. At some point in the near future I will have to sacrifice food or possibly put my sons Elmo DVD collection on hold so I can get a decent sized sample of this juice. I chose Tom Ford as my white rabbit because I knew he has enough class and sense not to make anything so hideous I would consider it a waste of change. Oddly enough his more masculine fare has become my fast favorites (tobacco oud, black violet) over more easier lighter options (champaca absolute, neroli portofino) while beautiful, seem to disappear on my skin in seconds. I will be taking the advice of a more seasoned vet. And start experimenting with spraying v.s. The sample dab. Mmmmmmm....patchouli.
Believe u me = a blessed fragrence connoisseur, this is my favorite anointing! Thank you sincerely Mr Ford & Of course Fragrantica God bless;)
Smells like someone chugged a bottle of patchouli and regurgitated it back into the bottle.
I think perfumed court may have given me the wrong sample? All I get is a soft girly sweet jasmine. Smells exactly like Bvlgari Voile de Jasmin ( totally not a good thing!) Looking at the notes of purple patchouli...there is no way this can be the right sample. I would still like to try the correct version, does anyone know anywhere else that may have samples of it? I already checked surrender to chance and they dont have it. message me if you have ideas. thnx :)
( or maybe it's just my skin)
I simply want to know why??? Why would Tom Ford make something so sexy and then discontinue it???
One of the best offerings from Tom Ford in his private line. Sadly it went the way of all flesh after a short period of time. Will be missed with affection.
BTW - It has almost aggressive longevity. This will survive thorough showers and the application of other perfumes.
Description:(woods) with notes of orchid, citrus, leather, purple patchouli accord, spices, amber, patchouli, Peru balsam, vetiver.
Spicy and warm, but smells too masculine for me to wear. My husband will get my sample.

A University of Toledo football player will be arraigned in Toledo Municipal Court tomorrow on charges of attempted aggravated burglary after police said he walked into the wrong house to settle a dispute with a teammate.
The house belonged to a sheriff s deputy.
Richard Davis, a 21-year-old sophomore running back from Warren, Ohio, also had at least two firearms with him when he showed up at the deputy s central-city house about 4:30 this morning, police said.
After receiving a call to assist an officer, crews from the nearby Scott Park police station arrived at the deputy s house and found Mr. Davis on the ground. Deputy Vincent Scott was holding him at gunpoint, police said.
The deputy said he found the shotgun leaning against his house. A handgun was found in Mr. Davis s vehicle, police said. Mr. Davis said he brought the weapons to scare the teammate, not to use them.
Deputy Scott said he d been awakened by repeated ringing of his doorbell and by someone trying to open his door. Mr. Davis remains in custody at the Lucas County jail.

In its 90 year history, Alfa Romeo produced a lot of cars which have remained memorable whether
commercially successful or otherwise. I think the SZ, as a high performance supercoupe is one
of those cars.
There are few cars which are so unique that they're considered a design classic as soon as they appear, but the Alfa Romeo SZ certainly is one of them. It was a product, a remarkable synthesis of two well known Italian companies looking for a new lease of life. There was Alfa Romeo, submerged in the Fiat-concern in the 1980s, with a tarnished image of building rusting cars which lacked quality searching for a renewed link with their exiting sportscar past. And there was Zagato, the Milan-based design studio and coach builder, which was making a gradual transition from developing and manufacturing (exotic) production car bodywork to industrial design and prototyping. Both companies found each other in a common need to reestablish their images in the late 1980s which lead to the remarkable Alfa Romeo SZ coupe and ultimately the RZ roadster. It wasn't fashionable nor conservative, it took no cues from any other model and it wasn't easy on the eyes. You either loved it or hated it and at best it was avant-garde. It set a standard which was never followed, it was named and revered as "The Monster"; it brought life to the scene of wind tunnel and consumer groups dictated anonymous car design. In other words: it stirred emotions. And that's what makes a car more than an object.
This "Experimental Sportscar-3.0 litre" was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show as a prototype by Zagato, but in fact its design history was far more complicated. No less than 3 teams were asked to design a proposal: the studio of Zagato, Alfa Romeo's own Centro Stile (Walter da Silva and Alberto Bertelli) and Fiat's design center headed by Mario Maioli and Robert Opron, the distinguished French designer of the Citroėn SM and the Renault Fuego for example. Unfortunately for Zagato its original design was discarded early on and ultimately the design which originated from the Fiat design center lead to the ES-30, with Robert Opron making the initial drafts ( Picture above shows the first sketsches from Mr. Opron. Picture below: Mr. Opron in between SZ 292 and 042 at his aniversary meeting in Paris. ) and young designer Antonio Castellana largely responsible for both the styling of the body and the interior of the car. The SZ was planned and designed in a very brief lapse of time - 19 months to be exact - thanks to the use of integrated computer systems and CAD/CAM design, right from the first rough sketches.
Apparently Zagato only made small contributions to the design of the front and the rear of the ES-30, but still the illustrious "Z" crest of Zagato would grace the sides of the car. General opinions on the almost extra terrestrial looking ES-30 were encouraging enough for Alfa Romeo to start up a production line for a limited series of this car, now renamed into SZ (Sprint Zagato) as a reminder to Alfa's inspiring past. The first 11 SZ cars were made that same year and a maximum production number of only 1,000 was announced. In 1990 the distribution of the SZ got under way with 289 cars produced. 1991 was to be last production year for the SZ. The final 736 cars left the factory, making the grand total for the SZ 1,036 produced cars (of which 38 were prototype and pre-production cars destined to be scrapped, but some of them are still extant). There was only one color scheme available for the SZ: a red body ("Rosso Alfa") combined with a dark grey roof section. The only exception to that was Andrea Zagato's personal car (a rebuilt Trophy racing car) which was completely black, also the complete interior seats, mats etc. has been changed into black. The mechanical components of the SZ were produced by Alfa Romeo and enhanced by Alfa Corse.
The coachwork was a thermoplastic resin, reinforced with glassfibre composite material, bonded to a steel chassis
with special adhesives to produce a body with extraordinary torsional rigidity. The result was dramatic and
the Italian press described the car as " Il Mostro "..... "The Monster". It was instantly loved
or hated. The glassfibre composite plastic bodyparts were manufactured by Carplast (Italy) and Stratime (France).
Zagato's role was mainly assembling the cars
The mechanical concept of the SZ prototype was the fruit of intense work by Alfa Romeo who with the important contribution of Alfa Racing, were determined to achieve characteristics of road holding and handling unusual for a car which was not specifically intended for competition. For this purpose, three prototypes based on the "75" chassis, and the experience gained by the 75 in the World Touring Championship were necessary. After many experiments and test runs, the definitive mechanical lay-out was a fact.
In January 1988 the SZ prototype had a similar looking engine as used in the 3.0 litre V6 America 75. The 2959 cc., double overhead camshaft V6 light alloy engine with the banks set at 60 degrees and conventional 2 valves per cylinder was kept on as the sole candidate for the SZ. Maximum care was taken with the timing, the camshafts, the compression ratios and the geometry of the manifolds. The intake manifolds, wider diameter exhaust manifolds and the tubing for the coolant radiator are all of a new design, while a heat exchanger for cooling the gearbox oil plus a wider diameter air filter were also added. Fuel injection and ignition are controlled by an integrated electronic system ( Bosch Motronic ML 4.1 ) fitted with a detonation sensor.
The horsepower this engine did produce is 210 Hp. ( in reality mostly higher )
supplied at 6200 rpm. with the maximum torque of 25 kgm. ( also higher in reality ) coming in
on a very flat curve at 4500 rpm. The top speed of the SZ is according to Alfa Romeo 245 km/h.
( I have seen the needle of the counter hit 275 km/h. ! ). The acceleration from 0 to 100
( two persons and 50 kg. luggage in the car ) is within 7 seconds, while it covers the
standing kilometre in 24,7 seconds.
The underpinnings of the car were also based on that of the Alfa 75. Front and rear suspension were adapted
from the Alfa 75 group A/IMSA competition cars, complete with uniball joints.
The transaxle scheme, with front engine, rear gear-box-differential gearing group and De Dion
axle, guarantees exceptional gear stability, thanks to optimal distribution of the load on
the two axles. These characteristics and the particular asset assure the car's practically
neutral behaviour and safe reliable driving under any condition. The transmission constitutes
the rear change group in block with the differential gearing. The gear-box with 5 gears plus
reverse, is provided with a single plate clutch with hydraulic command. The differential gearing is self
blocking with 25% slip. The group is provided with an oil cooling circuit with radiator and
circulation pump.
The coachwork had been lightened by 150 kg, with a dry weight of 539 kg. bearing the front
axle and 501 kg. on the rear, but in contrast to its lightweight construction style it is actually heavier
(by 10 kg) than the full steel Alfa 75 saloon car: the SZ puts a stately 1,260 on the scales.
Other measurements are a width of 1.730 m, a length of 4.060 m and a height of 1.300 m.
The frame was stiffened in accordance with the data provided by the torsion and flexibility testing on the racing vehicles.
The SZ prototype's very restricted ground clearance prompted the adoption of a hydraulic lifting . By means of a button on the konsole, the driver can raise the car by 50 mm. in order to get over bumps in the road etc. The SZ featured an extreme torsional rigidity as a result of the steel shell construction with bonded plastic body panels. Combined with the sophisticated racinf suspension and the asymmetric Pirelli P-Zero tyres, the roadhandling is superb. With the suspension in the low setting ( 80 mm. ground clearance ) the SZ is able to pull more than 1.1. G in corners ( some drivers did succeed in pulling upto 1.4 G. ) In other words: it stays on track resisting a pulling force of more than its own weight. Imagine to go round a corner while a person of more than your own weight is hanging on to you, trying to force you the other way: that's what cornering in this car can be like... For the first time there was a - not for active racing - sportscar built with a very low Cx of 3.0 together with a ground effect to balance the natural lift of the car
The SZ is the synthesis of traditional technology pushed to its highest level. So the SZ is not, and does not pretend to be a high tech car - in other words, it is not an expression of the desire to condense in a single automobile all the most modern technological advances. It is not a projection of the future with ingredients such as four-wheel drive, all-wheel steering, anti skid systems or anti locking systems, stuffed with electro-technology etc. So you can not see the SZ as a kind of concept car, but Alfa Romeo built a car deliberately lacking in this respect, seeking rather to push to the utmost a synthesis of traditional technology and sportiness, reaching goals which were extremely close to the characteristics of competition cars.
"The Monster", like it was nicknamed by the press because of its extreme looks and amazing driving potential, is an unique car. It did just the trick: surprising people, getting attention and boosting Alfa Romeo's image. Many of the produced cars are still around and it's not hard to find one in Western Europe. Outside Europe on the other hand the SZ is extremely rare. Only in Japan there are more than a handful. The SZ had done the job it was meant to, but ultimately was quite hard to sell because of its extreme looks and because of the fact that the market for luxurious cars collapsed. A special racing class (the SZ Trophy) was introduced so the SZ (and RZ) could be used in competition on tracks all over Europe. Participants received a 25% discount on the not even exorbitant price of the cars in order to boost sales and to promote the series.
Regardless of the lacking commercial success of the SZ a new version appeared in 1992: the Roadster Zagato (RZ).
Like the name indicates it was a convertible version of the SZ coupe. A year before Zagato had presented a SZ spider
styling study, a remarkably elegant looking prototype SZ convertible with some curvy, almost feminine forms. But the
actual RZ looked more like its SZ brother with angular shapes and the high waist line; more as if the SZ had been
decapitated. However this car, unlike the SZ, was an original Zagato design.
A limited production of only 350 cars was announced, but the RZ proved to be even harder to sell than the SZ. Only 278
roadsters left the factory; 50 in 1992 and 228 in 1993. Like the SZ the RZ was sold and distributed outside
Italy mostly by enthusiasts and specialists, and not by the official Alfa Romeo channels.
The body of the RZ shows some revisions from that of the SZ. Most notably of course the (unlined) fold away top which disappears in a space behind the seats, under a lid with two typical Zagato bulges. Other changes include different side windows to fit the top, a new engine cover, now without the ribbed segment in the middle part in front of the windscreen, more concealed window wipers, a higher front spoiler to offer more ground clearance, revised side-skirts and a darker rear light strip. Less noticeable but also a remarkable difference from the SZ is the utilization of thinner plastic panels in order to reduce weight. In all, creating the RZ required more than 500 new parts and all moulds for the plastic components had to be renewed. Quite expensive for such a limited production run. With the top down the roadster looks less harmonious than the coupe, it gives an impression of a chunky wedge. It takes a lot of getting used to, but on the other hand it conveys a butch brutality, like a pumped up body-builder. The RZ is definitely a car for those who like to be noticed as non-conformists. A typical Alfa Romeo characteristic can be found in the drive train of the SZ and RZ: the transaxle transmission construction. This means that the gearbox isn't directly attached to the engine, but to the rear axle, combined with the (limited slip) differential. The construction offers a better weight distribution with enhanced road holding as a result, but always had the downside of an indirect, uncomfortable gear change. Remarkably Alfa had finally solved this problem in the SZ and RZ, the last models the factory fitted with this construction. The original 5-speed gearbox of the SZ was fitted with a single plated clutch, which often proved to be too weak. But nowadays better replacements are for sale ( see the techtips section ).
Unlike the SZ the RZ was available in three different color schemes: red, yellow and black. Next to that, three RZ cars
were delivered in silver and one in metallic white. In all the RZ is a rare, exotic car and definitely a future collectors
2 Silver coloured RZ's ( number 254 and 266 ) had some extra's from the company Zender, such as the 5 spoked wheels, some steel accessories as the gearleaver knob,
the handbrake handle, the "door lock pins" on top of the doors interior. Also the silver RZ's came with another steering wheel than the normal Momo one.
As far as I know there was one silver car in Germany. Sold in 2008 to Italy and one has been exported to Japan. In September 2013 we found the third Siver RZ,
number 262 - a never registrated car - with only 300 km. on the counter in Italy. This car had no Zender extra's. Over the years the first 2 lost some of their Zender
In october 2008 I also found out - via Mr. Yuichiro Shima - that the Pearl white RZ was owned by AUTECH ZAGATO which
is a JV between ZAGATO and a subsider of Nissan motor. They owned the car for some time and than sold it to a private
Japanese owner. I do not have further info about that car, but I hope the owner will register the car soon !
Since the SZ/RZ Alfa Romeo more or less abandoned the sports car niche market and went for volume production. Also the ties with Zagato weren't renewed; the successors to the SZ and RZ models, the elegant and stylish GTV and Spider introduced in 1995, were built by Pininfarina, Zagato's long term rival. Zagato moved on to industrial design, developing all kinds of vehicles like fork lifts and trains, but also shows and builds prototype and concept cars once in a while.

We ate outside and my only constructive criticism is that the table are the plastic garden variety which moved when my daughter vigorously cut her steak and wobbled a bottle of wine over, so for younger and bouncier children the in door...

Chase chews a stick. Chase runs through the yard. Chase tries to eat Austin's ears. Chase does everything but sit still. Chase will not sit still.
This was supposed to be a portrait of Chase with his new haircut. I was going to show you how it's great that now we can see his eyes. I was going to show him looking all smart, short, and sassy. But, no. Chase will not sit still.
He's the cutest dog in the world, too bad I can't get a picture of him.
Until next time...

Oueslati, Hager (2007) Loose Lips and Groping Hands: A Concise History of Transference and Pedagogy. Journal for Cultural Research, 11 (1). pp. 15-39. ISSN 1479-7585
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The loose definition of "a hostile learning environment" has been used since the beginning of the 1980s through the 1990s in different ways and different contexts to file sexual harassment complaints against faculty. The article explains how this was paralleled by the emergence of extensive research in the scholarship of education to redefine a "pure pedagogy" more suited to the managerial role of the corporate university. At the same time, another literature described the sexual harassment laws as an assault on pedagogy and saw in their excessive implementation a hidden agenda to dismantle the University's "triangulation" of knowledge, desire and power. Until the late 1990s, this debate remained largely limited to and contained within the university. The argument between the defenders of a "transferential pedagogy" and the advocates of "pure pedagogy" took a new turn against the crisis in authority which characterized the 1990s especially after the Clinton–Lewinsky affair became public. Further developments in the States after 9/11 raised the question of academic freedom as a pressing concern. The "hostile learning environment" thesis is now used to name and shame "un-American" academics in the realm of new media outside, campuses and beyond the scope of scholarship. The University's role is structured within this move from "discipline" to "control" and from the symbolic authority of the law to governance. The article stresses these connections as essential for any debate on the educational dimension of the post-pedagogical University.
