Shameful British bar on workers labels Bulgaria as second-class
Sir: I was the British ambassador to Bulgaria from 1989 to 1994. During that time the communist dictator was ousted, the communist regime was overthrown, democracy - with free elections - and a market economy were adopted, and Zhivkov's persecution of the ethnic Turkish and other Muslim minorities (an early form of ethnic cleansing) was halted.
The new, democratic government looked up to the UK as a model and mentor, and we encouraged reform from top to bottom, with aid programmes in local government, policing, democratically accountable security and defence forces, the environment, the humane care of disabled people, and in many other fields. At the same time we expected the Bulgarians to abide by the sanctions regime that we and our allies had imposed on Serbia, and they did so even though it probably hurt them more than the Serbs, by cutting off their vital trading routes to Western Europe.
Later, the Bulgarians were welcomed into Nato, and they have contributed to coalition forces in Iraq. They scrapped their UK visa regime (while we maintained our against them) and welcomed British investors and property developers. And their economy began to grow, faster than most others in Europe.
We encouraged Bulgaria to apply for membership of the European Union. This cherished goal will be achieved in a month's time, and will draw a line under half a century of oppression and tyranny. But instead of welcoming the Bulgarians back into the European fold, our pusillanimous government have chosen to label them - and the Romanians - as second-class EU members by denying them the working rights which have already been accorded to the other new members from former communist Europe. That by doing so we are also denying ourselves the economic benefits of an addition to our workforce of well-motivated and skilled immigrants is almost beside the point. We have behaved despicably, and I would be ashamed, as a one-time resident apostle of all things worthy and noble about Britain, to show my face again in Bulgaria.
Trident defies common sense
Sir: It is possible for Britain's politicians to justify why the Trident nuclear "deterrent" system needs to be upgraded. It is even possible to understand their arguments even if one doesn't agree with them. There is something, however, that is bewildering.
It makes not even the remotest sense to pontificate to other countries about what they may and may not do with nuclear power, research and weapons development if you yourself are upgrading your own. This is something an eight-year-old could understand. You can point to as many clauses in a non-proliferation treaty as you want to justify your own development while stopping others. But it doesn't matter, because from the point of view of basic common sense, you are wrong.
I don't want North Korea and Iran to have nuclear weapons. But, then again, I don't want Britain, the US or Israel to have them either. The only common sense way to convince other countries not to develop their own weapons is for the nuclear powers to at least make some moves towards significant reduction of their own.
For Britain to justify continued improvements in weapons because of the possibility of a future threat could be considered a valid argument. But then we would have to admit that Iran has as much right to feel threatened as Britain, and therefore has a right to develop its own "deterrent". Nobody wants this, so there should be no talk of upgrading weapons systems in Britain at this very sensitive time.
Sir: There are some good arguments about whether Trident is effective in reducing threats. But the doubters still have a big chance of being wrong.
The projected usable lifetime of the new Trident programme is 2050. If anyone thinks that the US will reduce their stockpile within that time they are more optimistic than I. No other nuclear-capable country will disarm until the US starts to. Disarmament requires a comprehensive peace which America endorses, not a list of disarmed countries.
Should overwhelming peace break out within 45 years, Trident can always be decommissioned and outstanding monies recouped. They would then be expensive ploughshares indeed, but the calm would be worth it.
Sir: Lee Willett's enthusiasm for Trident replacement has obviously clouded his analytical faculties (letter, 1 December). It is difficult to see how unilateral action to upgrade the existing Trident system can be consistent with Britain's article VI obligation under the Non-Proliferation Treaty to pursue disarmament negotiations in good faith and bring them to a successful conclusion. International lawyers are queuing up to support this judgement.
Adopting a virtual nuclear arsenal (ending the deployment of nuclear warheads but retaining the expertise at Aldermaston to reconstitute a rudimentary nuclear weapon quickly) is by far the cheapest and least sophisticated insurance policy. It would be the equivalent of a nicotine patch designed to wean our political elites and the MoD off their collective addiction to nuclear deterrence.
Sir: Mr Blair believes that it is impossible to say we will never face a future threat which would necessitate use of our independent nuclear deterrent. Does he also find it impossible to foresee a situation in which a future Prime Minister, perhaps less reluctant to use military force than himself, might use that deterrent on the basis of sexed-up intelligence?
Dreaming of a secular Yuletide
Sir: I was about to write to you to protest (partly tongue in cheek) about this relentless christianisation of the perfectly harmless festival of Yuletide when I heard about the trouble it's causing in offices the length and breadth of the country.
There are, it seems, places in which seasonal decorations are banned for fear of a backlash from non-Christian religionists. Not cribs and nativity scenes, mind you, but tinsel. What is religious about tinsel that these people see as objectionable? As a secularist, my natural tolerance is assaulted regularly by the antics of religionist bigots of all kinds but in a multicultural land my sensibilities are of little significance and secularism is even seen as racist by some extremists.
This bizarre situation has got beyond a joke. Every year some new piece of legislation appears as a sop to one religious faction or another, many of these new rules being smuggled on to the statute book in the guise of anti-racial law. Racialism is something most of us abhor but fudging the difference between religion and race in order to promote the religion is a dangerous strategy, effective as it might be in today's confused legislatures.
I, for one, will be celebrating Yuletide with tinsel, tree, turkey and not a religious token in sight - and so will the vast majority of my fellow Britons. The rest can do it in their own way but must learn not to mistake the christianised version for the real thing.
Drop the tax on saving energy
Sir: Wednesday's pre-Budget statement has been described by Gordon Brown as necessary to "build an understanding between government, individuals and business". But a lack of understanding within households still exists on how to reduce energy demand. Households need to be made aware of how they can improve their home and save money.
Given that households are responsible for 30 per cent of total energy use, it is vital that the Government offers households fiscal incentives to upgrade their properties. An immediate step should be to reduce the rate of VAT on the refurbishment and repair of buildings from 17.5 per cent to 5 per cent. The current rate is a huge financial disincentive to improving the existing housing stock. It is also a threat to our national heritage as historic environments will continue to be lost to development unless the cost of maintenance can be reduced.
Positive steps toward reducing carbon emissions can only be achieved if the Government shows the necessary political courage to implement change.
No collective guilt laid on Muslims
Sir: "I hate the British government's demands that the Muslim community should take on collective guilt for Islamic terror": strong and potentially inflammatory words from Deborah Orr (2 December) which were surely not written lightly.
So can she tell us exactly when any member of the Government has demanded anything of the sort? As opposed to pointing out that Muslims share with everybody else the responsibility for protecting their fellow citizens (Muslims included) from mass murder, and that they may well have opportunities to exercise that responsibility which are not readily available to others. All of which is true even if John Reid says that it is true.
Ms Orr deserves praise both for seeking common ground and for being honest when she cannot find it. But she has not yet gone far enough in challenging the myths on which collective paranoia feeds.
Who is to blame for the plight of Gaza?
Sir: I'm glad your Christmas Appeal will help needy people, but I'm troubled by your approach. The Palestinians in your article of 5 December are humanised individuals: the souk merchant, the grieving survivor, the odd-job man. Israel, on the other hand, is the "other", a capricious force that shells houses and terrorises children. Israeli opinions are only honoured when they criticise their government. Palestinians en masse are always "dispossessed" and "abandoned". Just in time for Christmas, we have a morality tale.
But there are two sides to this issue, even one in which Palestinians are complicit in their travails. The Gaza pullout was a chance for autonomy and growth. Instead, the Palestinians chose martyrdom and elected Hamas. They selected extremist representatives and a violent platform, which inevitably invited retaliation.
Please continue to help people who need it. But spare us the one-sided tale of good vs evil.
Sir: Congratulations on making your Christmas appeal for the civilians of Gaza. I will be posting my contribution tonight.
I fear this appeal will bring in hate mail from a lobby that feels both criticism of Israel and support for Gaza is anti-semitic. We suffered this at Camden School for Girls when we entertained for a morning three teachers and six pupils whom the National Union of Teachers had funded for a week's break in London.
Rather than embezzle Gaza's funds, withdraw aid, deprive the population of sleep with sonic bangs, and attack heavy population centres, how much better to show positive concern and help. This, not violence, is the way to counter despair. I cannot tell you how happy your decision has made me.
Keep party lists out of the Lords
Sir: I agree with the general thrust of the response by Lord Greaves (letter, 4 December) to the Government's proposals for the House of Lords, but it's not quite there. The second chamber should be all-elected, with half of the seats up for election two years after a general election (yes, yet another election), also providing a half-term report on an emperor's new clothes.
To eliminate patronage, the curse of the second chamber, the party list system must be avoided like the plague, given the 100 per cent control it affords party leaders to select their MEPs, which has contributed to discrediting the European elections, leading to apathy on a heroic scale.
Sexy undies for all
Sir: Apparently including a maternity range at Agent Provocateur makes sure that no one is left out ("Complete guide to online shopping", 4 December). Actually that is not true as they do not do mastectomy wear as part of their range. A shame because we would like to buy sexy underwear too.
Britain and England
Sir: It is not only the English who are guilty of believing that their country is the only one on this island. I was once stopped on the street in Edinburgh for a questionnaire, the first question being "Are you from Scotland or are you from overseas?" I just said "Neither" and walked on.
Sir: In the Basque, Catalan or Breton regions of France, I tell people, "Je ne suis pas anglais, je suis gallois." This has frequently led to an animated and enjoyable discussion of rugby.
Celebrity spelling
Sir: In response to Andrew Gumbel's critique of Lindsay Lohan's use of English (29 November), I would say that the media shouldn't knock celebrities, or anyone for that matter, for poor grammar and spelling. It is the equivalent of a professional football player telling a Sunday social leaguer they are useless. It is meaningless and arrogant.
Turn to the euro
Sir: Isn't there a forgotten story in the excitement about the dollar? For several years now, sterling has been staying close to the euro and has abandoned its former mid-Atlantic position. Time for reviewing sterling's entry into the euro?
Asbo for Santa
Sir: There is no need for an Asbo to prevent Santa Claus going anywhere near a chimney (leading article, 4 December), since this sort of activity has already been banned by the Elfin Safety Executive.

Author has written 9 stories for One Tree Hill.
I'm Emily-Rose. I'm in college. :) I love TV shows and fanfiction, obviously. It's nice to combine those loves here. One Tree Hill is my favorite show and drama. I've learned so much from it. I love to write. I'm a review junkie, FYI. Hint, hint. Wink, wink. I've only written fics for OTH because it's more profound than words could ever describe.
I'd like to think that I'm unique and creative. You be the judge of that. Please give me advice/critique/praise for any stories of mine.
Someday I hope to collab with someone for a fic on here, but I'm on and off with inspiration, so that could be challenging.

Brucas vs. Brulian:
I cannot tell you how many times I've read comments from Leyton fans telling us to get over our obsession with Brucas because Brulian was meant to be. Of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I do actually enjoy Brulian as a couple, but the idea that they were meant to be is ridiculous. Fans of Leyton had six years of development into that relationship, six years dedicated to their ship, while we're expected to believe that Brulian was epic after just one—right away in season six. I'm sorry I just don't feel that. They were cute and conventional and had potential, sure. But I will never feel the same way about them that I do Brucas. To me, Brucas was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It was two people that struggled immensely but understood that they loved each other all the same. I still don't accept the Brulian ending because no closure was ever given to Brucas. People can argue that with me, but I feel that there was never a point in the show that I fell out of love with this couple and because of that I will always feel that there is unfinished business between them.
Quotes that remind me why Brucas will find their way back to each other:
"I don't want you to save me. I want you to stand by my side as I save myself."
"Love is a partnership of two unique people who bring out the very best in each other and who know that even though they are wonderful as individuals, they are even better together."
"The course of true love never did run smooth."
"Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says: 'I need you because I love you.'"
"Love is a second name of sacrifice."
"Love is selfless, not selfish."
My stories are split into two categories:
Completely AU/Never could have happened in the show:
Devil in Me
Who We Never Were
The Other Half of Me
Our Moments of Love
Continuations/Plausible stories:
Prince of Nothing Charming
It's a Family Affair
A Vow that Never Came to be
Definitely, Maybe
Upcoming Teasers for Devil in Me:
1. Luke decided to put on a show. He eyed her body hungrily. "Isn't there anything I could do to convince you otherwise?"
2. "When we fall in love that first time, we're not really in love with the girl," Clay started.
3. Brooke smiled involuntarily. "I'm done with the quarter life crises." She shoveled past him, standing up on tiptoes to blow hot breath against his neck as she spoke. "I'm the life of the party again, Luke, and don't you forget it."
4. Brooke's lips twitched into a smile. "And all those tight quarters and romantic fires will set us on edge?"
5. He changed. She changed. It was an endless cycle.

Mitchell D. ChesterCommissioner ofElementary and Secondary Education
Dear Superintendents:
We've had a busy year upgrading curriculum frameworks, beginning the development of a next generation MCAS, witnessing the passage of ESSA, and exploring the role of social-emotional learning.
We've have many successes. In particular, the Commonwealth's dropout rates decreased as more students are graduating. Less than half as many students dropped out in 2014-15 (5,346) than in 2006/07 (11,436). I credit you for doubling down your efforts to re-engage students. While we have much to celebrate, we also have persistent achievement gaps. We are aligning our work internally to focus on these areas.
Through my school visits across the Commonwealth, I see your efforts to provide our students with a first class education. Thank you!
As a service to superintendents, each year we provide a checklist of tasks local school districts must complete throughout the year. The checklist is organized in a manner that we hope is helpful to you, including:
The majority of activities on the 2016-17 checklist remain unchanged from 2015-16. I would, however, like to draw your attention to a few important milestones and upcoming activities that are not reflected in the checklist:
Student Assessment: I thank you for another successful administration of MCAS and PARCC. This school year, over seventy percent of grade 3-8 students took PARCC.
We are on-track with our progress for developing the Next-Generation MCAS. A few updates:
ESSA and Accountability: DESE is gathering feedback from a broad range of stakeholders about Massachusetts' school and district accountability and assistance system in light of the coming changes in statewide assessments and federal law. Over 2,300 people weighed in via our survey tool and many district participated in our focus groups. We will bring this topic to the Board for discussion in the fall. At that point, we expect to have developed specific options in response to the feedback we have heard.
Updating Curriculum Frameworks: We've hit major milestones this year in revisiting and upgrading our curriculum frameworks.
Social-Emotional Learning and Supports: Superintendents, with the principals association, association of school committees and the Rennie Center, have taken the lead on this work. As part of our reorganization, we are structuring the student support office to support district efforts to address social/emotional learning efforts. The Department will report back this fall.
In addition, please continue to visit our website for further information, newsletters, frequently asked questions, and resources. Links to many of our key initiatives are featured on our homepage for easy navigation.

Chapter Twelve: Blood Signings and Black Magic Part TwoMature
This is getting ridiculous. Lately these orders have been quite outlandish. He now wants me to feed him grapes while he's lying down on the sofa, or he wants me to give him a back massage. He's even asks me to wash his back.
Today we were sitting in the study, and Parauvin and Andrias were deciding on the first place to dock.
"'Dris we should bypass Kantro. There's nothing there that we need to look at. We've been there countless times before." Parauvin stated while observing a map. Andrias shook his head in agreement.
"Yeah, let's just continue onward to Minerva. We have a few errands to run there. Stopping in Kantro would only slow the process." He responded. I looked around in confusion.
"Well, I'm going to go down stairs and make some more Polvo del Diablo. I'll see you's later." Parauvin left the room and went into the basement. After he left I tried to sneak out of the room, but Andrias noticed this and grabbed me by my middle. I shuttered.
"Listen," he whispered behind me, "when this boat is docked, you are going to show me how it's done, and you know what I mean by that. I want to get down to the bottom of this gem thing." He pushed me away roughly, and I scuffled out of the room. After this occurrence, I decided to go see what Parauvin was up to. I wondered what Polvo del Diablo was and went downstairs to the basement.
The basement was filled with odd smells, fogs and sounds. The room was enshrouded by I thick, foul smog. I heard Parauvin coughing heavily. I walked towards his sounds and saw that he was standing in front of a table concocting some sort dark ruby dust. He picked up another vile and began to swirl it intently. I approached him and tapped on his shoulder.
"Hi, Parauvin! What are you up to?" He spun around abruptly, and the vile went flying and hit the wall with a loud explosion. Parauvin and I quickly ducked down. There was dust everywhere! I couldn't see a thing! I suddenly rose up and heard the sound of a large leak. I looked towards the wall and saw water seeping in. The explosion was large enough to damage the boat! I quickly found a large and absorbent object and plugged the hole with it. Parauvin arose after, his face redder than a pepper.
"You stupid broad! Do you's know what you have just done?! Son of a bitch, you's almost blew up the damn boat! Out, NOW!" He erupted. I ran upstairs to my room without any hesitation. I closed the door, and I heard Parauvin stamping up to the deck and conversing with Andrias. A few minutes later Andrias came down and entered my room. Yep, this is definitely strike two for me.

The Metropolitan Police will soon be embarking on its most radical reform since it was founded in 1829. The new era won't just mean changes in policing but could provide up to 3,000 new homes.
The big idea, from Deputy Mayor for Policing Strephen Greenhalgh, is "bobbies not buildings." New Scotland Yard will be sold, along with nearly 200 other Met properties.
'The police cell of today could be the bijou West End residence of tomorrow'
Mr Greenhalgh says far fewer people report crimes by visiting police stations these days, so London needs fewer station counters, though it is stressed that each London borough will retain at least one police station open round the clock.
Officers will be encouraged to eat their meals in local cafés rather than in police canteens. There are six firing ranges at present and some of these will close but a new one will open at the Peel Centre in Hendon, which the police say will create better training facilities.
The aim is to reduce the £205 million a year the force spend on running its buidings. It is the intention to reduce this to £140 million as nearly three million square feet of land is sold off. Sales of buildings will also reduce debt and interest payments. Having been largely immune from property asset management for the past couple of centuries, the Met are suddenly in for a property pruning.
New Scotland Yard alone is almost half a million square feet. If this iconic building gains change of use - from commercial to residential - the value will rocket. Barnet Council, the Greater London Authority and other interested parties are already discussing the future of The Hendon police college in Barnet, which is close to Colindale Tube Station, and could provide significant housing while still accommodating any ongoing requirements of the Met.
Marylebone Police Station in Seymour Place has significant potential. The site is owned freehold by the Portman estate who have a pre-emption right to acquire back the Met's long lease. Hampstead Police Station in Camden will be a hot property although listed, a conversion and partial new-build scheme could provide homes.
Jonathan Glanz is presiding over this sale of the century. He is the adviser for Property & Estates to the Mayor's Office for Policing, the Director and Chairman of property company '45West' and a councillor in Westminster where he is Cabinet Member for Housing and Property.
Glanz says police property will be sold to allow the Met to re-invest in their properties, reduce overheads and provide much needed homes for Londoners. The police cell of today could be the bijou West End residence of tomorrow.

Meeting The Mad Hatter.Mature
Alice was ecstatic. "Riding on a horse like a princess. I'm so happy." She laughed. The king smiled and turned way as it turned into a frown. The small caravan stopped when they reached a large and familiar looking castle covered in large vines and flowers. There was a large path that was covered in dead roots and withering roses. The king smiled and grabbed Alice around the waists placing her on the ground. "Alice now listen to me. There is a man in there with a very large hat. I want you to speak to him and bring him to us." The king said with a grin. "Ha ok" Alice said with a big grin. Alice skipped into the gate. "Sir. The Girls of the golden afternoon are no were to be found." A guard said. "Very well. Be wary and keep searching if they catch us off guard then we could easily loose our life's." The king said quietly watching Alice disappear into the gates.
Alice skipped through the gates and entered a giant garden. Giant roses the size of peoples. The ruined walls were covered in red hearts who's paint had been withered down. Alice heard music and laugher in the distance. The music was a mixture of joyful and melancholy. Alice followed the trail through the garden until she saw a table with three figures sitting at it drinking tea and eating cakes.
One of the figures was a three foot tall brown rabbit. He wore a brown coat with blue buttons and breast pockets that were filled with random junk. He looked at Alice with his big blue eyes. "Ah…. Is that Alice finally coming to have tea with us?" He asked in a deepish hurried voice. The two figures who had there backs towards Alice looked over. One was a tiny mouse with freakishly long whiskers reaching to over a foot. He had a tiny sword slung around his belt and a red cape. "Ah Alice it is so nice of you to finally come. Here, here, have a bit of tea and a cake. They are delicious." The mouse said. The other figure stepped out of his chair and faced it out for Alice to sit down. He wore a massive green hat with a card on it, a green over coat, purple undercoat, green pants that were obviously to big for him, and brown shoes. Alice gladly took the seat and the man pushed the seat in and took the seat right next to her.
"So Alice how was your trip?" The man asked. "Oh Wonderland is just a wonderful place. I have enjoyed it so much." Alice said. "Oh dear Hatter you forgot. Our intro." The mouse squeaked. "Ah yes I did indeed forget. My dear Alice. I am the Hatter mad." The man said. "He means the Mad hatter." The rabbit said in a desperate quick voice. "And THAT Is the March Hare and I am the Door mouse." The mouse squeaked. "Ah Yes that is us and us is we. We find that we are who we say we are. Not like who they say we were." The Hatter said picking up a teapot and poring some tea into a cup. The Mouse grabbed the tea and scurried over to give Alice the tea cup.
"Alice do you like riddles?" The hatter asked. "Oh I love riddles." Alice said. "OK. How is a raven like a writing desk?" The hatter asked. "Because bad notes come from both!" The dormouse yelled. "Because Poe wrote on both!" The Hare yelled out throwing a tea cup at the hatter. The hatter dodged the cup and stood up. "NO it is because quills are found on both." The Hatter yelled. "Ah good one old boy." The Hare said uncapping the salt and handing it to the door mouse. "Ah yes that was an absolutely smashing Riddle." The Mouse said tipping some salt on his cake and accidentally pouring it all onto it once the cap fell off. The march Hare stifled a laugh.
"Ah this tea is so good." Alice said. "Oh I'm so glad you liked it. I poured it myself." The hatter said pouring a cup for himself. The dormouse grabbed a cake and started eating into it. "Do you know where we are?" Alice asked. "I know precisely where we are. We are here. Unless we are not. Then we are somewhere else." The Hatter said. "Well that makes sense." Alice said after thinking it over for a while. "Whether that makes sense or if sense makes that Is a question that I have been asking for a long time." The hatter said. "Well that does not make any kind of sense." Alice said. "Well…. Make up your mind. Does or doesn't it make sense?" The Hatter asked.
Alice looked at The Hatter in wonder before taking another sip of tea. Once the Hatter calmed down he sat back down and began drinking tea. "Um Hatter?" Alice said. "What is it?" The Hatter asked picking up some sugar cubes and plopping them in the tea. "I came in here to get you." Alice said. Every one stopped everything. "You know the way out?" The March hare asked. "Yes I do, it isn't that far." Alice said. "Well then lets get going." The dormouse said pulling his sword out and holding it forward. "Agreed. Lets go." The Hatter said standing up. The March Hare jumped onto the Table and grabbed a four foot long fork with sharp ends. "I'm ready to fight our way out." He said. The Hatter started grapping tea cups and tea pots and shoved them into his hat. "How much can you hold in your hat?" Alice asked after he shoved one of the cake tables into it somehow. "I dunno." The Hatter said pushing the last chair inside of it. "Alright every one it is time to leave!" The hatter said. "Form up." The Mouse yelled. The three of them formed a line and began to march in a dysfunctional march behind Alice.

Re: Next Naughty Dog project for PS4
In various interviews, when asked questions about the future of the Jak series, it was stated that the series was put on hold, and would possibly be rebooted with a different artistic style and direction. We know that characters in the series like Count Vegar wore Victorian-styled clothing, so that could be a character model for a Jak and Daxter reboot.
Re: Next Naughty Dog project for PS4
As much as I'd love to see The Last of Us 2, I think it won't reach the level of greatness of the original The Last of Us. But hell, what do I know about making a good game... that stuff is Naughty Dog's specialty.
I'd like to see Uncharted 4 on PS4, though. The plot could be about locating the library of Alexandria or something, I have only played Uncharted 3 so I might not know some things used in earlier games (forgive me :s).
Well, if it is only 'project' without actually being a game, why not The Last of Us or Uncharted series/movie exclusively on PS3/PS4, since Xbox One got their own series about Halo. Just an idea. It'd be good if it was live-action but CGI would be just fine, too. Well, PS4 isn't going to be a home media center, so what do I know.

Re: Next Naughty Dog project for PS4[ Edited ]
Its kinda funny, cause i would say yes to everything...
I love Uncharted... and want to see Drake again, with the PS4 Graphics oO and the ability of Naughty Dog, it would be mind blowing.
Also loved the new IP Last of US, the kind of how to tell stories, is amazing, and i think its hard to threw away IPs with so much potential but would also say yes to new things, because Naughty Dog can do it, they make things with love, its not only the amazing good looking graphics, for me the best thing is the details, you look on the desk in last of us, and see alle the small things, which seem to be so real, its not like in other games, where everything is like "copy and paste"
Sony have to do one thing, Naughty must get bigger xD
I have also one question, i live in Germany (sorry for my english) and i am this summer in Los Angeles, and would love to see the Studio, is this possible or not ?
I have already said to my girlfriend, that we must se the Studio (she also really likes Uncharted, The Second Game was her must buy reason for a ps3 for herself^^) Yeah it might be really nerdy, want to see a gaming studio but i grown up with Crash Bandicoot so for me its not only a Studio^^

I definitely think uncharted 4 all uncharted games were way more sucessful than jak and daxter and the last of us. Those games were amazing but uncharted has a better concept of reality and life as well as a better plot and gameplay system. Nauty dog can provide so many more adventures for drake like the bermuda triangle, atlantis, or more. Also naughty dog did so well on uncharted with the characters, adventures, and sequential concept. Nathan drake is a brave pulse pounding character who can use guns and his fists which provide a gaming environment like no other.They should make another uncharted because of the reasons I stated and it would go along good as a sequel because drake is settling down, than takes one more adventure with his companions, its dangerous, humorous, action packed. Uncharted for is a grand idea and if uncharted 1&2 became such a hit, and uncharted 3 was playstations signature franchise imagine what uncharted 4 would be it would probably be called the signature franchise of all gaming
All Uncharted games had better plot than The Last of Us?
All? It's of course a personal opinion but considering of what I've heard, only Uncharted 2 is better than The Last of Us. I haven't played Uncharted 2, so The Last of Us is the best game for me. Sure there are more options on what is the plot and such, thus Uncharted 4 could be good.

Snow tussocks (Chionochloa spp.) in New Zealand exhibit extreme mast seeding which is synchronised within and among populations and species over large spatial scales. This masting behaviour satiates three endemic insect seed predators, and the weather cue that triggers heavy flowering has been reported as a very warm austral summer in the year before flowering. Here we elucidate the details of flowering, predator satiation, and temperature cues for Chionochloa. A 22-year observational data set for Chionochloa pallens from 1,070 m elevation on Mt Hutt, Canterbury, indicates that flowering was highly variable (CV = 1.79) which was effective in predator satiation, and the key cue for heavy flowering was warm temperatures between 1 January and 7 February the year before flowering. Both the number of inflorescences per tussock (the most variable component of reproductive output) and the number of florets per inflorescence were increased. Surprisingly, there were also same-season effects of temperatures between October and December on the number of inflorescences per tussock produced in late December through February. Experimental warming of tussocks using open-topped clear plastic enclosure tubes verified the same-season observations by significantly increasing flowering in the current season, but much less often increased flowering in the subsequent season. A comparison of masting patterns 1990–2008 with altitude in two tussock species, C. pallens and C. macra, indicates that at higher altitudes (ca. 1,580 m vs. 1,070 m) the temperature thresholds for a given flowering effort were lowered. The lowering of thresholds (2.1°C in C. pallens and 1.5°C in C. macra) was similar to the reduction in mean growing-season air temperatures (2.0°C) found between the sites. Thus, despite different local temperatures at high and low altitude sites, the different populations flowered with a similar intensity each year. The primary benefit of mast seeding in Chionochloa appears to be predator satiation, and the key predator (the cecidomyiid Eucalyptodiplosis chionochloae) has extended diapause. If diapause can be influenced by climate cues, the exact nature of the climate cues will be important to the evolutionary interaction between the plant and its seed predators.

Chapter 1.3Mature
"Oh, Beth," Isabella said, getting up and coming around to hug her. "It wasn't your fault. It could never be your fault."
Beth simply shrugged. She leant against Isabella slightly, the smell of leather – for some reason – comforting her wretched heart.
"I wouldn't hug me if I were you," Beth said, sniffing away threatening tears as the display of affection from the other woman saddened her further.
"And why is that?" Isabella asked dryly, amused by Beth's words.
"I haven't had a shower for two months."
"Doesn't matter to me; when I was younger the bawdy house I'd been brought up in reeked of sweat, blood, and general filth." She squeezed slightly to emphasise that it didn't bother her. "I need to go, but I'll come and check on you in a couple of days," she said, moving away.
"Okay. Thank you," she murmured gratefully, genuinely meaning it.
Isabella reached out and squeezed Beth's hand before turning and leaving, her heels rhythmically sounding against the linoleum.
Beth listened to the mumbling sound of Jack saying something to Isabella. The words were indecipherable but Isabella chuckled quietly at whatever it was. The front door opened and shut again.
She looked up at the clock. It wasn't even midday yet. Every day had dragged past like this.
Beth felt a sudden urge to talk to Lucius, actually talk to him. Her mind was full things she just needed to say but he didn't usually come until the sun went down.
She went upstairs and went into her bedroom. She sat on the bed and looked around the room that she had once walked out of with Robert, when she'd moved in with him.
Her eyes landed on the door to the en suite. She got up and went in. Locking the door behind her, she turned the shower on.
She looked at herself in the mirror, shocked by her appearance. Her hair was matted and greasy, largely resembling a bird nest. A messy one, at that. Her face was shiny and oily from the lack of washing. Her cheeks had lines on them where her tears had fallen and dried. She did not, in any way, resemble the girl that was so in love just two months ago.
Thirtieth of June, she thought. Inside, it felt like the dead of winter, where nothing grew and little survived the long months. She glanced out of the frosted glass window, seeing the sun shining brightly. She felt very at odds with the outside world.
The mirror started to become steamy as the shower grew hotter. She stepped away and peeled her clothes off. They were still the same clothes she'd been wearing when Rosalyn had kidnapped her. She slipped her ring off easily – too easily – and set it on the counter.
She dropped her clothes on the floor and stepped under the shower, not caring that the hot water scalded her skin. She tried to run her fingers through her hair but it was too knotted to do anything with it. She put shampoo in it and reached for her hairbrush, dragging it through the blonde tresses. She didn't care about the pain; it brought her back to reality.

Children's LiteratureTwo hundred years ago President Jefferson sent an expedition to explore the newly acquired Louisiana Territory and lands further west. He appointed Meriwether Lewis to lead the mission, who in turn asked William Clark to share the command. They hired men, built keelboats, and gathered supplies. By May of 1804 they set off on an incredible historical journey which lasted two and a half years. The group of men called themselves the Corps of Discovery. In November they hired a French-Canadian trader and his Indian wife Sacagawea as interpreters. Lewis and Clark kept detailed journals and collected samples of plants and animals. The Corps faced many hardships such as wild animals, raging currents, lack of food, severe weather, swarms of insects, and sunstroke. The expedition was a smashing success, paving the way for future exploration and settlement of the growing United States. Excellent photographs and illustrations accompany a richly detailed source. The book is part of the "Cornerstones of Freedom, Second Series" and contains an index, bibliographic resources, a timeline, and glossary. Webster's book would be ideal for an American history curriculum. 2003, Children's Press, Ages 8 to 12.

The present invention relates to and more particularly to devices and methods for interfacing a single sensor unit requiring an excitation signal with multiple data processing units.
In many instrumentation systems it is required to simultaneously provide data from a single sensor unit to multiple data processing functions. Further, it is often necessary to externally furnish an excitation signal to the sensor unit and for certain applications such as for avionics systems, it is required that instrumentation systems function with high reliability. The problem of furnishing a proper excitation signal is complicated by the reliability requirements for the system since any fault in providing the excitation signal to the sensor may subsequently result in multiple data processing functions being affected. The obvious solution would appear to be to provide multiple sensor units but this is frequently not possible due to space and cost limitations.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a fault-tolerant system for interfacing a single sensor unit requiring an external excitation signal with multiple data centralization units which feed information to multiple data processing functions.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a fault-tolerant system for interfacing a single sensor unit to multiple data centralization units which is not dependent on a single excitation signal from a single source and which allows the other data centralization units and the sensor unit to continue functioning despite the breakdown of one or more of the data centralization units.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a fault-tolerant system for interfacing a single sensor unit with multiple data centralization units that is fault-tolerant yet is simple to implement and is economic to construct.
The present invention constitutes fault-tolerant system for interfacing a single sensor unit requiring an excitation signal with multiple data centralizing units. The system includes a sensor unit such as a resistive temperature device, a fixed resistor and a number of data centralization units which are interconnected to the resistor and sensor unit. The data centralization units each include a current source for providing separate excitation signals to the sensor unit through the fixed resistor and include a pair of detection circuits adapted for measuring the voltage drops across the fixed resistor and the sensor unit. The detection circuits are in turn coupled to a signal processing system which processes the output signals they provide in order to generate a signal indicative of environmental conditions at the sensor unit.
In operation, the excitation signals from all of the data centralization units are combined at the fixed resistor and the voltage drop across this resistor provides an indication of the total current being provided to the resistive device and the number of operative centralization units. The signal from the sensor unit may then be adjusted in accordance with the level of current through the fixed resistor to reflect the number of data centralization units which are operational and provide on output signal accurately representing process conditions at the sensor unit.
FIG. 1 depicts a block diagram of the interface system in accordance with the principle of the present invention.
FIG. 2 depicts a block diagram of a single data centralization unit in accordance with the principles of the present invention as connected to a sensor unit.
FIG. 3 provides a schematic diagram of a typical set of detection circuits for a data centralization unit in accordance with the principles of the present invention.
Referring now to FIG. 1, the system 8 provides for the interfacing of a sensor unit 10 with a multiple number of display/control units 18, 20 and 22 through the data centralizing units 12, 14 and 16. The data centralizing units, (DCU) 12, 14 and 16 are each connected by three lines to the sensor units 10. The data centralizing units 12, 14 and 16 are also connected for receiving other signals from other sensors or from other components which may be in analog or discreet formats or may comprise serial I/O. The data centralizing units 12, 14 and 16 are connected by bus lines to display/control modules 18, 20 and 22 which process and utilize the data provided by the data centralizing units.
Referring now to FIG. 2, a single data centralizing unit 12 is shown in conjunction with a sensor unit 10. The sensor unit 10 comprises a resistive temperature device which is characterized by resistance which is variable in response to a parameter, as for example, temperature changes and which requires an excitation signal to be externally provided for measurements to be taken. The sensor 10 is generally positioned at a location remote from the data centralizing unit 12 at which it can detect temperature values desired to be monitored. For example, if the system 8 and the data centralizing unit 12 were part of an avionics system in an aircraft, the sensor unit 10 might be positioned to detect fuel feed temperatures.
The sensor unit 10 is connected to the data centralizing unit 12 by the line 33 which carries an excitation signal to the unit 10 and by the lines 35 and 37 which carry detection signals to the unit 12. The excitation signal furnished over line 33 to the sensor unit 10 is generated in the data centralizing unit 12 by the current source 42 in response to a voltage source signal provided by the power supply 40. The current source 42 may be simply comprise a resistive network having an impedance which is substantial in comparison to the impedances of the resistive temperature device 30 and the fixed resistor 32.
The detect circuit 50 measures the voltage drop across the fixed resistor at 32 and provides a signal which is indicative of the level of this voltage drop. The detect circuit 52 measures the voltage drop across the sensor unit 10 (the resistive temperature device 30) and provides a signal indicative of the level of this voltage drop. The output signals from the detect circuits 50 and 52 are supplied to an analog multiplexer 60 which selects one or the other of these signals for supply on an alternating basis to the analog-to-digital converter 62. The analog-to-digital converter 62 digitizes the signal received from the multiplexer 60 by converting it from analog to digital format. Finally, the output of the analog-to-digital converter 62 is supplied to a microprocessor system 64 for processing under software control and "centralization" prior to being provided to the modules 18, 20 and 22 representing other instruments and systems which require the data for their own processing purposes.
Referring now to FIG. 3, the circuitry required for the detect circuits 50 and 52 is shown in greater detail as including the operational amplifiers 70 and 72 which comprise the active components of the detection circuit 52 and the operational amplifiers 74 and 76 which comprise the active components of the detection circuit 50. The amplifiers 70 and 72 are constructed and arranged for amplifying the difference between teh voltages present on lines 37 and 35 with the amplifier 72 configured (by feedback capacitor 86) as a low-pass filter for suppressing noise. The amplifiers 74 and 76 are constructed and arranged for amplifying the difference between the voltages present on lines 35 and 33 with the amplifier 76 configured (by feedback capacitor 84) as a low-pass filter for suppressing noise. Lines 33, 35 and 37 are shown coupled to plug 1, remote sensor 10 (not shown) is remotely located from said plug 1. It shoudl be noted that the amplifiers 70, 72, 74 and 76 provide limited gain and instead act primarily as buffers presenting a high input impedance to signals representing the voltage drops across the fixed resistor and resistive temperature device. It should further be noted that many of the resistors, capacitors and diodes shown are intended to provide isolation and corresponding protection against voltage spikes and noise between the sensor unit 10 and the other components.
The resistor 80 operates on the +5 VDC supply voltage provided at point 92 to furnish a comparatively constant current on line 33 as the resistor 80 is selected to have a value substantially greater than either the resistor 32 or resistive temperature device 30.
The constant current signal is also passed back along line 39 to the multiplexer 60 from where it is supplied to the microprocessor 64 by way of the analog-to-digital convertor 62. The value of this constant current signal is then compared under software control with the value of the signal corresponding to the voltage dorp across the fixed resistor 32. This comparison provides an indication of whether the other data centralizing units 14 and 16 are operational which can be used in generating an appropriate signal that can be fed to a control console for operator review.
The lines FFt EX, FFT FIX and FFT RTD are shown as lines extending from current source 42, detect circuit 50, and detect circuit 52, respectively.

Brad Marchand relishes chance to slay favorites
Credit: Ted Fitzgerald
WILMINGTON — Brad Marchand's been in this situation before.
Before the Stanley Cup finals in 2011, all the talk was about how dangerous the Vancouver Canucks were. The underdog tag didn't bother Marchand then, and it doesn't bother him now.
Heading into Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals in Pittsburgh on Saturday night, most of the chatter is about Sidney Crosby and the high-powered Penguins offense. Marchand admitted the accolades are warranted, but it's a challenge he's more than ready to tackle.

Keywords: Organizational justice, coordination, administrator, employee; 1. Introduction One of the essential functions of the management processes is coordination. The most general sense of the coordination is co-operation system. To articulate, coordination is to ensure organization's harmony and cooperation between regular and ongoing objectives, activities, members and individuals (Genç, 2008). As seen in Fayol's definition, coordination is defined as "an organization's harmonizing all activities to make work easier and become successful" (Mucuk, 2006).

In other words, coordination is providing cooperation and harmony among workers and ensuring to perform more effectively with the most convenient and most appropriate equipment (Tengilimoğlu et al, 2009). Coordination refers to the quality of cooperation between departments in the organization. Whether the quality is in high level, conflict between departments will be reduced, cooperation and decency level will be increased and the coordination will occur in that extend (Eren, 2010). 2. Importance of Justice in Coordination Process Dinçer and Fidan (2009) define coordination by this means: "Coordination is a function that combines efforts of people coming one after another and nested integrations to perform the necessary cooperation by the most suitable * E-mail address: [email protected] Bertan Akyol environment, time, employee and equipment in order to reach a common goal. An institution or organization gains its quality of being effective organization by coordination. Whether an organization's coordination is weak, it loses its existence and power in that extend. In such a case, the organization has no more meaning than a worthless stack and production factors (Şimşek and Çelik, 2009). Coordination requires considering the effects of technical, commercial, financial and similar organizational activities on each other and other organizational parts. The aim of this is to make the difference between more and less important ones, provide justice to all and reconcile income to expenses and production to sales. Coordination prevents confusion in the organization, ensures the implementation of the rules as shown in the policy that makes agreements and reconciliation easier, improves interpersonal relationships and speeds up the solution of problems (Sabuncuoğlu and Tokol, 2005). Manager's fair attitudes have great importance in fulfilling the process of coordination. Employees' working with each other in coordination is successfully fulfilled by providing the equality in reward-punishment distribution and promotion. Employees' efforts to achieve pre-determined goals are constantly monitored and compared by other employees. In this competitive environment, on the condition of how fair the organizational outcomes' distribution in employees is, management will be that much successful in coordination of employees. Coordination is to ensure works and aims to complement each other and coincide activities. Coordination is to plan organization's all activities to the same aim to make work easier and become successful. As organizations grow, coordination becomes more important. It can be possible to bring together the administrative actions of the various departments in a compatible format and direct them toward organizational objectives owing to coordination. For this reason, coordination is harmonizing the related units to achieve a specific aim (Tutar, 2005). This harmony can be provided by equality of distributions within the organization, the decision-makers' fair criteria and managers' fair interact with employees. The organizational activities are possible to be fulfilled by employees by a fair and impartial process of coordination that management transmit. In an organization that employees get used to work and fulfil their duties in an effective coordination system, it is quite possible to see the dominance of justice. These studies indicate that the climate of organization has a long history although climate of justice studies and the researches about it do not. It has found that organizational climate affects employees' job satisfaction in the first studies in the field. When organizational and sub-system climates' have effect on employees performances, organizational justice researchers have recently begun to study the justice climate. Mossholder, Bernalt and Martin (1998) investigated the relationship between climate and organizational justice in group size. According to the results, it has been found out that procedural justice has an effect on organization climate when employees assess the scope of work. According to the results of this research, procedural justice climate leads to differentiation in job satisfaction and existing bond. The process justice's climate was found to be in interaction with group performance and job continuousness by a study of Colquitt, Noe and Jackson (2002). Specifically, it is obvious that where the climate's strength level is high, these kinds of outcomes are affected in a positive way. As well as procedural justice, other justice dimensions'' relationship with organizational climate is also studied. It has been set out both procedural and interactional justice revealed inexperienced negative behaviours The main principles of coordination are listed as follows; (Öztürk, 2003): Invariability principle: Coordination shows invariability. It can also be defined as the process of solving coordination problems. There will be constant problems because organs are dynamic organizations. Perhaps coordination is required for this. According to this situation, ensuring invariability of coordination will increase the efficiency. Response principle: Activities in organizations affect almost all parts. Priority principle: A list of priorities should be made through pre-calculating the contribution of coordination on organization's efficiency. Then coordination must be done accordingly. Dialog principle: It is hard to ensure cooperation and coordination unless employees do not tell their thought of a particular problem, unless do not know their behaviours and actions; unless do not comprehend their own 57 Organizational justice in coordination process behaviours and efforts' impact to others. Ensuring and strengthening the dialogue between people have an important function in solving problems. Coordination also uses this tool. Coordination involves combination of material and human resources of the organization, settling knowledge and skills and the actions uses these ways to achieve the aims. In other words coordination is a process to perform contributions of available human, material and resources for a specific purpose (Demirtaş and Güneş, 2002). Thanks to coordination, organizational forces separated by division of labour try to achieve organization's aims by providing the integration vertically and horizontally (Başaran, 2008). The contribution of a fair coordination management that reflects on employees' behaviours positively in the meaning of employee behaviour is undeniable. It has been seen that employees encounter fair practices and in the coordination process it is important to see equal attitudes by their managers for their job satisfaction, commitment, trust when organizational justice researches are examined. From this perspective, generally organizational justice research focuses on two topics. First, employees' responses on incomes or outcomes, second, acquiring the process of how they obtain the outcomes. However, in recent years, researchers focus on acquiring the outcomes and perception of justice between employee and manager in the process of reaching decisions on these outcomes. Coordination can be provided by a variety of methods. Coordination control methods can be collected in six groups. These are listed below (Genç, 2008); Hierarchically coordination: It can be understood as an upper echelon manager's use of his/her powers to make his/her employees work compatibly with each other to make coordination. Convincing coordination: Employees are convinced or induced instead of using power or authority to make employee work. Coordination through committee: Coordination is ensured by a committee of managers instead of a single manager. As such coordination has a benefit as softening authoritative managements in the other hand it has drawbacks such as loss of time and resources. Horizontal coordination: Coordination among departments in an organization at the same level is called horizontal coordination; coordination between upper and subordinates in an organization is called vertical coordination. Structural coordination: While establishing organizations, it is favourable to ensure a task-related coordination that employees use to fulfil their duties. Inner and external coordination: It is coordination among units within an organization. External coordination is managed with different organizations. 3. Conclusion As we can see, coordination has an important role in management processes. Management is a team work and the manager must reach specific aims with a specific team. It is inevitable to engage from teamwork. Coordination is the basis of team work. The manager uses coordination to combine employee activities for a specific aim. As this process is a necessary tool in management processes to manage both organizational hierarchy and organizational aims, the managers are in need of establishing the justice perception for the employees during the application of coordination activities.

In order to plasticize PVC, the hard PVC powder is mixed together with a plasticizer in a heating mixer. The plasticizers reduce the hardness of the plastic but do not chemically bind with the plastic. Because of this they tend to be volatile which means that plasticized PVC does not generally remain soft forever. Soft PVC films are accordingly not suitable for outdoor use.
Even though most plasticizers are physiologically harmless, the use of plastics containing plasticizers in the foodstuffs sector or for childrens toys is not advised.
In addition to the conventional plasticizers, so-called flexibilizers are also used for making soft-PVC. These materials do make a chemical bond with the PVC and are therefore not volatile. Flexibilized PVC films consequently remain soft for a much longer time. PVC that has been plasticized in this way is referred to as polymer plasticized PVC. Unless otherwise stated, the soft-PVC semi-finished products that we have on offer are made from basic monomer plasticized PVC.Soft PVC films can be joined by means of a needle and thread or a sewing machine or by employing plastic or metal rivets. When sewing them, the stitches should be reinforced with SOFT PVC GLUE. The sewing or pressing foot glides best over the slightly sticky PVC if it is made of teflon. It is less expensive to lay TISSUE PAPER underneath or to add a little sewing machine oil (SILICONE OIL) to the area to be sewn in order to make it slippery.

I started this blog in December of 2005, shortly after discovering Guided By Voices - yes, I discovered them after the band was "done". Over the years I have slowed down with the reviews (none last year), in fact, Robert Pollard is easily releasing new albums much quicker than I have been writing up new entries.
It was something else trying to find copies of everything back in 2005, but I can't imagine what it would be like now, where there is a new GBV-related release every couple months! So I'm going to get back at it, and hope this will prove to be a helpful source for people just getting into GBV.
Also, eventually I need to go back to my older entries because I know that certain songs have gained favor with me over the years (what's with that terrible entry on Sandbox?), and vise-versa. That will have to wait however, since there are still tons of albums I haven't got to on this site. Also, I apologize for not being very active on the comment boards - I used to respond to almost every comment on each entry, but I haven't been so great lately. I'll try to keep up better going forward.

".Too good to be true?"
were we really together that night? when you held me... in the pouring rain.
sans umbrella - but held me from the thunder and lightening while the cars passed us.
feeling your breath against my skin, me shivering in your shirt.
thank you for holding me.. when i needed it the most.
thank you for driving me home, when i had no one else to turn to.
nameless you shall remain, deep inside i hold you in.
in a year or two, we shall wait.
thank you for kissing me on the forehead instead of my lips -
you didn't spoil the moment.
thank you for looking me straight in the eyes even though mine were full of tears.
and thank you for holding my hand even when i fell in the mud and didn't let go.
sweet are you and nameless you shall remain.
stranger - did i dream you? how did i wake up in a shirt not mine?

Balmain Ivoire Eau de Parfum Spray is rated out of 5 by 5.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stuey from She absolutely loved it I first bought this perfume many years ago but I've just rediscovered it. I bought it for a friend whilst I was on holiday and posted to her. What a surprise when she opened it as I'd said nothing beforehand, she asked if it was for her. Her first reaction was "I love it", and it smells beautiful on her.Highly recommended.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Cecilia from Love it! I ordered this fragrance untested after wearing the original Ivoire de Balmain for many years and still owning a bottle of the vintage 80s perfume. I have been so very disappointed with all the recent reformulations of classics that I went into shock when I sprayed this for the first time! This fragrance has been beautifully remastered and the new recipe deserves a standing ovation. The essence and soul are still there but the new Ivoire is more aromatic, more refined and most definitely elegant. This is not a watered down ghost of the original; it still deserves respect!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Danaki from Elegant 'black pencil skirt' fragrance So...what fragrance do you wear for work? You want something elegant, but not stuffy. You also want it inoffensive, clean and lightly floral. Let me guess, you also want it to hum gently next to your skin and not shout out to your colleagues on the desk next to you. The floral heart of this perfume mean that you smell 'nice' and pretty, and the galbanum ensures things are grown-up yet never fusty. Enter Ivoire Balmain. You see, it is a black pencil skirt of a perfume- it is suitable for office and at the same time, dressed up for drinks afterwards, there is nothing more chic. Chic is the operative word here. After about 6-8 hours on my skin, I'm surprised to still detect vetiver rounded out by light vanilla and clean patchouli. Simply gorgeous and an essential part of any fragrance wardrobe, after all, you can't own at least one black pencil skirt, can you?

In other words, it lets the person who reproduces it off the hook in
terms of the error. What I'm saying here is that Sergeant is misspelled
on the hostalibrary, but I've no way to know if it's a type or if the
person who registered 'Sergeant Pepper' purposefully named it that and
not 'Sargeant Pepper'.
