Effectively managing salt affected irrigated lands and judicially using irrigation water of marginal salinity quality requires understanding the interactions among many inputs. They include soil salinity, crop salt tolerances, soil physical properties, irrigation water quality, irrigation management, water table depth and quality, climatic factors and crop yield. Visualizing the simultaneous interactions among this many factors over a cropping season extends beyond the capacity of the human mind.
An interactive computer program was developed to simulate the interactions among the above factors. It shows how changing one factor impacts the outcome of the other factors for a single growing season. The user selects a climate, a crop, and soil characteristics from menu lists, and then sets the water table depth and quality, irrigation (river or well) water quality and then develops an irrigation schedule. On execution, the relative yield reductions due to over irrigation, under irrigation, and salinity, water table rise or fall and surface runoff are shown numerically for the growing season. Soil water content, soil salinity, water table depth changes and rain and irrigation events during the season are also shown graphically.
This is an educational tool designed to teach the concepts of salinity and irrigation management and IS NOT an irrigation scheduling program nor a management tool. Two versions have been developed, one using metric units, southern hemisphere growing seasons and Australian terminology, and a second using northern hemisphere growing seasons, with units and terminology currently used in US irrigated agriculture. An option in the US version also allows use of metric units.

Don't forget, the Texans have done this AFTER wasting their first series on that flukey Bullitt INT. They were driving on that one so it COULD be even worse.
Someone needs to tell Polian that there are defenders now who are both big and fast.

That's terrible your grandfather is way more important that this team of quitters right now.
Is the Colts oline trolling us? Another penalty at the 50?
Alright, I'm out thanks for thoughts guys.
I'm all for signing the 55 year old version of Joe Montana right now to get his spot in the top 10 back
Oh yeah...
The Colts are much closer to the NFL version of the post-Lebron Cavaliers than the sans Brady Patriots. However, we've got the following going for us:
1.) There is no lottery in the NFL
2.) Peyton is presumably coming back
3.) We won the SB in 2006
Good luck. At least you won't be missing anything important.
Damn man, I hope he is okay. You (and by extension him) are in my thoughts.
Time to pull a San Antonio.
Ahh today is a good day for my cable not to work. It is much easier to look at this game on paper than it would be to watch it.
People say how giving Manning all that money was a mistake. As far as I am concerned he is worth it and this game shows why. He has earned every penny of that freaking contract. I just don't know what to think. I always knew this team relied on Peyton way too much but it's difficult to see it show like this.
So we can see the parallels in this situation with Robinson/Duncan and Manning/Luck
It would also make what Manning said about Luck waiting the following year seem all the more fortuitous.
They also I think got new management at that point Robinson retired with his second ring no less.
Funny, because we happened to do just that.
Unless that player is Peyton, a fact that has been made obvious today.
At this rate I think Manning may have been a discount.
I must add:
60 yards of penalties and 2 turnovers. Tony Dungy would not be proud.

Subtle role reversals for Polians
Bill's son Chris is becoming the Colts' front-office leader

Indianapolis Colts
Bill Polian
Jim Caldwell
They stood a few feet apart, which made it easier to toss the hot topic back and forth.
Included in the discussion of the NFL's latest draft, which ended Saturday evening, was which Polian -- Bill, the vice chairman, or son Chris, the vice president and general manager -- actually was in charge of the Indianapolis Colts' draft room.
A member of the media asked: "Did the draft-room dynamic change, Bill taking a step back, Chris taking a step forward? Would it be wrong to say, 'Chris, this is your first draft?' ''
"That's not wrong,'' Bill Polian said.
Chris Polian, smiling, respectfully disagreed.
"That's not right,'' he said. "That's where I would disagree with you. It's everybody's draft. Everybody worked on it.''
But, who led the Colts draft?
"We all do,'' insisted Chris Polian. "It's hokey, but it's a collaborative process.''
But, someone persisted, "is it safe to say the dynamic has changed?''
"The dynamic has changed, there is no two ways about that,'' said Bill Polian, who has overseen Colts drafts since 1998 with the help of a support staff that has included his son, senior player personnel consultant Dom Anile, player personnel director Tom Telesco, head coaches Jim Mora, Tony Dungy and Jim Caldwell, assistant coaches and countless scouts.
"Chris set the parameters. He did the study that gave us the road map as to where we needed to go. We stayed with that.
"Your interest, I know, is what happens in the room. Nothing much has changed there.''
The Colts again were led by a four-man panel: the Polians, Telesco and Caldwell. It was their consensus that retooled the offensive line with tackles Anthony Castonzo (first round) and Ben Ijalana (second), and delivered high-energy tackle Drake Nevis (third) to the defense.
"Any one of us can bring up a point,'' Bill Polian said. "Any one of us can mention a priority. We don't make a choice that we don't all agree on. That even goes to setting the (draft) board.
"But it's fair to say that the dynamic has changed pretty dramatically because Chris sets the parameters by which you set the board up, and that's the big thing.''
Consider it the latest step in a gradual transition aimed at Chris Polian, 39, succeeding his father and, basically, running the Colts' football operations.
Bill Polian, 68, hasn't addressed how much longer he'll handle a prominent role with the Colts, but, as is the case with 35-year-old quarterback Peyton Manning, he's closer to the end of his career than the beginning.
In late February, owner Jim Irsay altered Bill Polian's title from president to vice chairman.
"From an outside eye,'' Irsay said at the time, "it probably won't be noticeable. He's not taking a consultant role.
"Bill's not clearing out his office.''
The idea, Irsay emphasized, was to increase Chris Polian's responsibilities, along with those of Telesco, and decrease Bill Polian's workload, however slightly. The adjustment would allow Bill Polian to spend less time at the team headquarters and more at his home in Charlotte, N.C.
The actual transition began in 2009 when Irsay extended the contracts of the Polians "through the 2012 season and beyond,'' Irsay said at the time.
Nothing is definite, but Irsay envisions the succession, which likely results in Bill Polian having very little to do with the team's day-to-day activities, being "a three-year thing.''

PUBLIC sector workers took their complaints about pay to Dudley's streets for a protest against cuts.
UNISON members made their point during a demonstration at Coronation Gardens, opposite Dudley Council House, on Tuesday April 1.
The union says nationally more than half-a-million local government workers earned less than £15,000 basic pay in 2011/12 and their pay has fallen in real terms since 2010.
Dudley branch chairperson, Cathy Bayton, said: "Pay bills for local authorities have decreased by 23 per cent in the last two years.
"Far from having no money local authorities increased their reserves by £2.6 billion last year.
"Inflation is predicted to remain at three per cent during 2014 and increase to 3.4 per cent in 2017.
"A pay award below three per cent will be a further pay cut for our members. Average gas and electricity prices are due to rise by 8.2 per cent over the coming year."
The union is planning to consult its members on industrial action after they were offered a one per cent pay rise which is agreed nationally by local authorities.
The union is demanding a £1 per hour rise to bring lowest-paid staff up to the living wage level, which has been calculated at £7.65 per hour for workers outside London.
Cllr Sian Timoney, chairman of the employers group which represents 350 councils in negotiations, said: "There is a broad consensus among councils that there should be a pay offer to staff this year.
"At a time when local government is tackling the biggest cuts in living memory, this offer balances our commitment to increase the pay of our hardworking employees with the responsibility we have to address the significant financial pressures we face.
"We believe that this is a fair deal for employees, given the limits of what we can afford, and a fair deal for the taxpayers and residents who use and pay for the vital services which local government provides."
This pay offer does not apply to council chief executives, senior officers, teachers or firefighters, who are covered by separate national pay arrangements.

I just had my copper IUD removed after 7 months and I want to document how my skin is from now on. I don't know if the IUD was contributing to my acne or not. So let's see what happens.... UPDATE: 4 months after the IUD was removed my skin is finally pretty much back to normal. It was a tough few months though, which is why I stopped taking pics--too depressing. So from my experience if you have an IUD (even a copper one that doesn't have acne listed as a possible side effect) and your skin starts breaking out, get it removed.

So you've probably heard Avery is in the labels business. But we don't make ordinary labels that just plain stick. Our innovative labels are packed with unique features and designed for unbeatable performance. Plus, they're durable, customizable, and smudge free and jam free—guaranteed. To help you during the busiest mailing and shipping season of the year, we gathered ten tips from our readers on how they get the most out of their Avery Labels!
1) Create a custom-printed look
- Avery Easy Peel® Clear Labels make your envelopes look custom printed… our members thought the labels were custom-made right on the envelopes (that makes me look good!). ~ JacqueK
2) Do double-duty addressing
- Use an Avery Shipping Label to include both the return and forwarding addresses. ~ Gkkville - You can set them up by putting the return address on top and the addressee on the bottom, or type them as you go. ~ Froggboots
3) Use custom-fitted labels for different sized packages
- I sell online and ship many different size packages. The Avery Full-Sheet Shipping Labels are great because you can custom fit them to meet your needs. I even use the scrap pieces for craft projects. ~ Barb1961
4) Quick and easy label-making with templates
- By setting up the Avery Template and being able to print out on the printer, we can produce multiple labels at one time. And if different information is needed, it's easy to make changes to the template! I love the templates available for your whole line of label products. ~ gak57
5) The "proof" is in the label
- I sell on eBay® and Avery Shipping Labels with Paper Receipts are a staple in my home office. I love the fact that there is a paper receipt which I staple to my eBay® receipt and have proof "verification" of when my item shipped and to what customer it went to… it's a must have for anyone who sells online! ~ DebDodge
6) Automatic do-over
- Finally, a label that can be repositioned. There are times entire envelopes have been thrown away because the label had an error. Now with Avery Repositionable Labels, materials once headed for the recycle bin can now be reclaimed. ~ DebbieT
7) Mailing newsletters and brochures
- We send out over 500 newsletters every month, and it can be a very stressful time. We had been closing the newsletters using tape, but parents complained that their newsletters would rip when they attempted to open them. Avery Print or Write Mailing Seals are so simple to use, and it made our newsletters look more professional. I highly recommend these for mail closure, especially if you send out brochures or tri-fold newsletters! ~ MissShawn
8) No more stubborn labels
- I love the Easy Peel® Technology with Avery Easy Peel® Labels. No more pinching and tearing up the corners trying to get the labels off the page! ~ Travlnana
9) Practice makes perfect
- It comes out perfect if you align everything correctly. So… like I always say… print a practice sheet first!! ~ aznstickerlvr
10) Versatility in a label
- Our company has three different logos that we use for separate divisions within the company. Whether sending out welcome packages, bids or using them on our marketing materials, I get a professional, polished look with Avery Easy Peel® Clear Address Labels. And because we use three different logos, it's easy to pull a few sheets, print a set of labels, and distribute them to those who need them in the company. The quality of this label is so good, it's hard to tell you're using a label! ~ gabrielle
Count on Avery Labels to help you get all your mailings and packages ready to go. 75 years in the label business, Avery delivers products and solutions to make your tasks easier.

- How to Read a Study Record
To determine the pharmacokinetic profile of single doses of letrazuril in patients with AIDS-related cryptosporidial diarrhea; to determine the dose proportionality of single escalating doses of letrazuril; to determine steady-state concentrations of letrazuril; to evaluate the safety and efficacy of escalating doses of letrazuril, compared with placebo, for patients with AIDS-related cryptosporidial diarrhea.
Letrazuril, the p-fluor analog of diclazuril, has been shown in an animal model to prevent infections by organisms closely related to the intracellular parasite Cryptosporidium. Reliable data are needed to show the effectiveness of letrazuril in treating AIDS-related cryptosporidial diarrhea.
|Cryptosporidiosis HIV Infections
|Drug: Letrazuril
|Phase 1
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Blinded, Placebo-Controlled, Single-Dose Pharmacokinetics and Dose Escalation, Efficacy, and Safety Study of Letrazuril for AIDS-Related Cryptosporidial Diarrhea
|Estimated Enrollment:
Letrazuril, the p-fluor analog of diclazuril, has been shown in an animal model to prevent infections by organisms closely related to the intracellular parasite Cryptosporidium. Reliable data are needed to show the effectiveness of letrazuril in treating AIDS-related cryptosporidial diarrhea.
Four groups of eight patients receive escalating doses of oral letrazuril (or placebo). In each group, six patients are randomized to receive letrazuril and two patients receive matching placebo. In the pharmacokinetics determination phase of the study, patients receive a single dose of letrazuril or placebo following a meal. Following a 72-hour blood collection, patients enter the blinded, treatment phase of the study and receive letrazuril or placebo as a single dose daily, after a meal, for 3 weeks. Patients with persistent Cryptosporidium oocysts in their stools at the end of the blinded treatment phase may continue with open-label treatment of letrazuril at the same dose for 4 weeks; the dose may subsequently be escalated every 4 weeks, to a maximum, if oocysts persist. Patients who have Cryptosporidium oocysts eradicated from their stools will discontinue treatment and be followed for 3 months. All patients undergo clinical follow-up at 3 and 6 months.

Today's Enlightening Entertainment will be presented in Chinese, with subtitles in Arabic, Aulacese (Vietnamese), Chinese, English, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Mongolian, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Thai.
Greetings noble viewers, and welcome to Enlightening Entertainment. Love is one of the core values in all religions. However, it is not always easy to put it into practice, especially when we encounter seemingly unjust situations.
Today, we are going to present part 1 of a 4-part series, titled "Love & Enmity," which explores the universal themes of love, loss, anger and forgiveness. This drama, performed by our Association members from Taoyuan, Formosa (Taiwan), was adapted from the Buddhist story as told by Supreme Master Ching Hai.
Your Majesty, if you can see how diligently His Majesty King Eternity, your son, reigns the nation and how well he treats the people, you will surely feel proud of him!
Here comes Grandpa! Grandpa! Grandpa!
Come over, come over! Sit down, sit down. You all came to the mountain to play again?
Yes, look! We found this rabbit along the way.
Wow, so cute!
Grandpa, it also wants to come and listen to your stories.
Look at you, my little girl, how cute you are!
That's right! We all love to listen to your stories.
Here. I have fruit for you.
Thank you, Grandpa!
Go ahead and have some!
Thank you, Grandpa!
I hope you can all grow up happily and peacefully.
Thank you, Grandpa!
Grandpa, what stories are you going to tell us today?
Daddy seldom let us go down to the city. Luckily we have Grandpa to tell us stories from the city.
Oh? Hmm…okay. Let me tell you a story that happened in the palace.
Hurry, please! I can't wait.
Once upon a time, there was a benevolent king called King Longevity, who was respected and loved by his subjects. Since he reigned the nation with a compassionate heart, the people lived happy and prosperous lives. However, he was always tormented by some worries.
It's because King Wei Mu, from a neighboring kingdom, was very aggressive and intended to invade King Longevity's nation. King Longevity worried that the innocent citizens would be greatly affected by the war. So he was wondering whether he should follow his ministers' opinions and defend his kingdom or just abdicate and surrender his kingdom to King Wei Mu, in order to protect his people.
Your Majesty! King Wei Mu's troops have reached the border. We fear that…
I understand. You may be dismissed!
Yes, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, I volunteer to lead the troops to defend your kingdom.
Your Majesty, I will mobilize all our troops and fight to the death. I'm sure we can defeat the enemies.
No! Your Majesty, we can't use force under any circumstances!
Your Majesty, trying to stop them with our weak military force is just like throwing eggs against rocks!
If we don't fight the enemies, should we just surrender and give our land to the enemies?
Sigh… Wars always result in severe injuries and deaths. It is too devastating!
Your Majesty, let us launch our defense!
We earnestly request that Your Majesty dispatch the troops!
We'll fight to the death! They cannot beat us.
It's easier said than done. We'll lose so many soldiers and so many resources!
Do you know that it will take us years to recover from the devastation of war?
Hmph, you talk like a woman! Should we do nothing and just wait for death?
My beloved courtiers, except for war, are there any other solutions? During wars, soldiers die miserable deaths, and the innocent people suffer a lot. Also, who can comfort the widows and orphans who cry deep into the night? Sigh! Since ancient times, no benevolent king has been able to bear seeing such a disaster descending upon his kingdom. So, to avoid all this, I'd rather abdicate in exchange for peace for my people.
Your Majesty, King Wei Mu is belligerent. Once under his rule, our people will suffer.
Your Majesty, please think twice before you do this.
Your Majesty, we should dispatch the troops to fight them!
I agree. Send the troops to fight them.
We'll fight to the death!
Enough! I've heard enough! I will decide what to do. You may be dismissed.
What a pitiful situation!
Did King Longevity have any children?
Yes, he had a son called Prince Eternity. He was not only smart and talented but he was also a very good son. King Longevity loved him very much. Regarding this situation, the kng went to consult with his son. And the conversation decided their destiny.
Father, why are you here?
My son…
Father, it's late, but why are you still up? Is there anything you want to tell me?
My son, I have something important to discuss with you.
What is it, Father?
The aggressive King Wei Mu is bringing his troops to our border.
What? He has reached our border?
When I think about how the innocent people will suffer from the war, my heart sinks.
Father, how will you handle this crisis?
I am still considering…
What solutions have your ministers proposed?
Today in the court, the generals strongly proposed to dispatch the troops, while the civil ministers thought quite the opposite.
What is your decision, Father?
I… I want to abdicate and surrender the kingdom to King Wei Mu.
So I can avoid the deaths of my warriors and the sufferings of my people.
Give our nation away to the King Wei Mu? I… I cannot believe this…
No matter how the future generations will think of me, I think this is the only way to achieve peace and to avoid miseries.
Father, the whole thing has happened so suddenly… I… I just don't know what to do.
My son, I made such a decision because it's my last resort. I am not expecting your understanding. However, if I leave, I'll feel most worried about you. That is why I came to see you and to discuss it with you.
Father, you are the only person I can depend on. I will follow and obey your command. All the glory and fortune are just like passing clouds. I don't care about any of this. My son, your words put me at ease. Good, good.
So, King Longevity issued a secret edict and ordered all his courtiers to leave the palace and go back to their hometowns. The King and the Prince removed their royal robes and donned peasants' clothes. Under the protection of a guard, they left the palace for the most remote mountain in the Kingdom of Longevity.
So King Longevity gave away the nation to King Wei Mu?
What else do you think then?
So what happened?
To avoid being followed, they abandoned the horses and climbed up to an even higher and more remote mountain.
Wow, look, Father! It's a waterfall!
So beautiful!
Watch your steps, Father.
Be careful, this way please.
So beautiful!
Yes, so beautiful!
I never imagined that we had such beautiful scenery in our kingdom.
Your Majesty, we have walked a long way. This is a very remote and secluded place; we can rest here for a while. Let's drink some water and eat some food.
But we cannot start a fire or we may expose ourselves.
Fine, fine.
Father, please eat some dried food.
All right. Zhong Liang, you eat some, too.
Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, there is a little cave on the riverside where we can stay temporarily.
It is very nice to have a water source and a cave. However, we may be discovered very easily. I think the Prince and I will go up to a more remote mountain. Zhong Liang…
Yes, Your Majesty.
Zhong Liang, thank you for taking care of us all the way here. Otherwise, the Prince and I wouldn't know what to do. Zhong Liang, please go back so you won't get involved.
Your Majesty, please don't drive me away. I would like to follow you all my life. Please don't drive me away. Besides, I cannot go anywhere now.
Why not?
If I return, I'll surely die. When they cannot find you, they will target me. If I don't give them any information, I will be beaten to death. I beg Your Majesty to let me stay with you, so I can serve you.
Zhong Liang, I've put you in such a difficult situation. But I cannot bear to see you suffer with us like this.
Your Majesty, I owe my life to you. If you hadn't saved my life, I would have died long ago. No matter what, I am following you.
Father, it is not safe to stay here. Why don't you just grant him his request?
Alright, let us leave here then.
We have just enjoyed part 1 of the 4-part spiritual drama, "Love & Enmity," adapted from the story as told by Supreme Master Ching Hai, and performed by our Association members from Taoyuan, Formosa (Taiwan). Please join us tomorrow for part 2 of 4 on Supreme Master Television.
Thank you for watching today's Enlightening Entertainment. Please stay tuned to Supreme Master Television for Words of Wisdom, coming up next after Noteworthy News. May your days be filled with joy and peace.
Today's Enlightening Entertainment will be presented in Chinese, with subtitles in Arabic, Aulacese (Vietnamese), Chinese, English, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Thai.
Greetings beautiful viewers! On today's Enlightening Entertainment, we are delighted to present to you part 2 of the four-part spiritual drama, entitled "Love & Enmity," which was adapted from the Buddhist story as told by Supreme Master Ching Hai and performed by our Association members from Taoyuan, Formosa (Taiwan).
Previously, the wise and compassionate King Longevity surrendered his kingdom to the neighboring King Wei Mu to avoid a war that may cost untold loss and suffering to his people. With a faithful servant, King Longevity, along with his son Prince Eternity, fled to the remote mountains…
Your Majesty, this cave is too small to accommodate us. Let us go in that direction.
Yes, we should find another suitable place.
Watch out!
Your Majesty, please take a rest. I will go and find some stream water for you to drink.
No need, Zhong Liang, I am very touched by your loyalty to me. But you still have a wife and kids to take care of, please go back.
Go back? Without the country, how can there be a home? I can only have a chance to recover my home if I can help Your Majesty go through this difficult time.
Zhong Liang, I've always known you are a good man. The Prince and I are under such a miserable situation, but you still take care of us so attentively. I am really grateful to you.
Your Majesty, this is just something I should do.
Let's do this. This is a jade pendant I inherited from my father. I've kept it for years. Please take it and sell it and use the money to support your family.
No, no, Your Majesty, I cannot take it.
Zhong Liang, take it, take it. From the present situation, we can't tell what will happen next… You can stop accompanying me from this point on.
Your Majesty, please don't make me leave. Don't make me leave, Your Majesty.
Zhong Liang, arise. Listen to me, the farther you are away from me, the better! Live a good life, all right?
Your Majesty and Your Highness, please take good care of yourselves!
Just go, Zhong Liang!
Father, it is so quiet in the mountain.
It is good to be quiet. It is good to be quiet and far away from the world. To live in such solitude makes me feel more at ease.
Father, we should go farther into the mountains.
Fine, fine. Let's look for a place where we can stay.
Grandpa, where did they go? Did they find a place to stay?
They went to a deep mountain and found a cave near a waterfall so they decided to stay there.
Did they have things to eat?
The natural condition in the mountain was very good. There was fresh stream water and abundant sweet fruits. They just lived on these wild fruits and concentrated on spiritual practice in the mountain.
Father, Father, Father, I am back. Look at these wild fruits I picked. Please come and enjoy them.
Wow, so much fruit today.
What a good harvest. Look! What a tiny papaya. And this is…. guava. I remember that guava is your favorite fruit. And dates. See how big they are.
And today's special – Basho bananas. It's also your favorite fruit, right? Please take one, Father.
Sure. It's so fragrant and sweet. My son, I didn't know you can do so much. I am fortunate to have your help during the past year.
Father, it's nothing! This is what I should do.
My son, we've been in the mountains for so long. Are you used to the life here now?
Father, I'm quite used to it. In the beginning, I still missed the palace, but now I feel much better.
That is good. I wonder how our people are doing. If I could have a chance to return…
My son, if you have a chance to go back, what would you do?
I want to take back our kingdom and govern it with good policies.
What good strategies do you have to govern a nation?
Good strategies for governing a nation? It's said that to enrich a nation, the military needs to be strengthened first. Although I don't like wars, I believe that we should have a powerful military for self defense. The Wei Mu Kingdom took advantage of our weak military power, and they knew that we did not even dare to fight back.
Do you mean that I didn't know how to govern a nation?
I didn't mean to criticize you. You had been diligent in governing the state, and you were benevolent toward the people. You always taught the people with compassion and love. You rarely punished them when a crime was committed. Yet, as time went by, people forgot how to fight in wars to protect themselves.
My son, to govern a country, it's crucial to win people's hearts. If you direct them to the right path, the country will be prosperous and peaceful! Otherwise, the powerful military would eventually become a harmful thing, like a vicious tiger equipped with wings! Then the people will suffer even more miseries. I hope you will be very, very careful!
Yes, I will always remember your teaching by heart.
Then I do not need to worry anymore!
Time flies in the mountains, and people age over time. In a blink of an eye, the father and the son had practiced spiritually in the mountain for many years. Although their life was tough, they were quite contented. Until one day…
What happened on the day?
It is so hot. Ah? How come there are people in this mountain? Hey, who are you?
Who am I? Well, who are you?
I am a woodcutter, and I got lost in the mountain. How is it that you live in such a remote mountain?
You look so familiar. Where have I seen you before?
You can't have. We don't know each other. We've never met before.
Young man, you mistook me for someone else.
No, I can't be wrong.
What do you mean?
That's right! You are King Longevity.
No, I am just a hermit living in the mountains. How can I be the king? You mistook.
I cannot be wrong. Your portrait is posted all over the country. Whoever catches you will be rewarded abundantly.
One will be rewarded for catching me? Am I so valuable? Look at me, do I look like the king?
Yes, not only do you look like the one but also you are worth a lot of money. In addition, you are worth several hundred persons' lives.
What do you mean? I will come down. Please explain to me in details.
People have worn their shoes out in search of you, but I found you by accident! Come down quickly! It is all your fault. The current king suspected that someone was hiding you, so he arrested a lot of people and tried to extract information with torture. He also promised that whoever turned you in would be richly rewarded.
How could that be? It is all my fault. I had victimized them all!
Move! Come with me! I am going to get my rewards.
Don't touch me! Go away!
What? You dare not go back?
King Wei Mu, I already gave my kingdom to you. How could you still harm my people?
Hey! What are you thinking about? Let's go!
Life is transient. I have this body today but tomorrow it will be decayed. I think I'd better go back with him so he can get his rewards and my people can be free from suffering.
Are you going or not?
Young man, you mean you will get rewards if you take me back?
Yes, many people are searching for you for the reward. This is my lucky day. Let's go now!
If I go back with you, my people will be able to live peacefully. Okay, I'll go with you.
You finally got the idea. This is what the King of Longevity should do. Okay, let's go!
Wait. Are you literate?
Not much.
Let me write a few words.
Hey, hurry up, will you? Let's go! It is not worth looking, hurry up! Hurry up. Let's go. Let's go.
Father! Father! Where did he go? Father? Why is a bundle of firewood here? Father? Father? Is he out there looking for fruit? Ah? "I am caught. You should stay and continue your spiritual practice." Ah?! Father! Father! Father! O Lord! Why? Father!
You've just enjoyed part 2 of the 4-part drama series, "Love & Enmity," performed by our Association members from Taoyuan, Formosa (Taiwan). During a 1993 gathering with our Association members in Pingtung, Formosa (Taiwan), Supreme Master Ching Hai remarked about the woodcutter's behavior, explaining the spiritual side of the story.
He was really an ignorant being. Even that situation didn't touch him at all. Right? His vicious mind couldn't understand the heart of a spiritual practitioner. His greed for worldly fortune had blinded his eyes, and deprived him of human feelings. You see how scary worldly wealth and glory can be. They can make a person lose his human feelings.
Only for those who have a strong spiritual aspiration, who already see the world clearly, and who are awakened, will seek treasures beyond this world. This kind of people will voluntarily give up his worldly possessions. Right?
Or even if they are rich, they aren't attached to their wealth.
So this is why many spiritual practitioners tell us not to rely on worldly fortune, social status, wealth and glory, because we might get attached to them.
Thank you for watching today's Enlightening Entertainment. Please join us again next week on Friday and Saturday for part 3 and 4 of the spiritual drama, "Love & Enmity." Now, please stay tuned to Supreme Master Television for Words of Wisdom, coming up next after Noteworthy News. May you and your loved ones be blessed with everlasting harmony.
Today's Enlightening Entertainment will be presented in Chinese and English, with subtitles in Arabic, Aulacese (Vietnamese), Chinese, English, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Mongolian, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Thai.
Greetings gracious viewers!
On today's Enlightening Entertainment, we are delighted to present to you part 3 of the four-part spiritual drama, entitled "Love & Enmity," which was adapted from the Buddhist story as told by Supreme Master Ching Hai and performed by our Association members from Taoyuan, Formosa (Taiwan).
During an August 2010 teleconference in Los Angeles, California, USA, Supreme Master Ching Hai again mentioned this story during a discussion about the justification of war and vengeance.
There was a king and he was so virtuous and his country was so peaceful and rich, and everybody loved him. And then the neighbor king was very envious because the king had so many precious things, so he wanted to take over his country, the virtuous king's country. And the virtuous king, because of wanting to avoid the suffering for the people at war, so he gave up his kingdom to the new king and he just left; he went into the forest.
Remember? (Yes, Master.)
After abdicating his throne to the neighboring King Wei Mu, the compassionate King Longevity then went deep into the mountains with his kind son Prince Eternity to pursue spiritual practice. However, King Longevity was captured and sent to the capital, leaving his much saddened son alone.
The prince was very sad. His father left the palace for the sake of his people. He forsook wealth and glory and left his throne. He only wanted to concentrate on spiritual practice in the mountains. Why would people still want to chase and kill him?
So pitiful!
King Wei Mu was so vicious!
After King Longevity was caught, King Wei Mu ordered to have him put to death by fire.
What?! Burn him to death??
Yes, the news spread all over the nation. Everyone felt great anger over the treatment of King Longevity.
Didn't anyone try to rescue him?
Who dared to rescue him? They couldn't even protect themselves. How could they rescue him?
That was too much! King Wei Mu was too cruel!
On the execution day, the people all went to the execution court.
Did the prince come?
He did. Another person also came.
Who was it?
It was the guard.
Why should he be burned to death? King Longevity did not commit any crimes. King Longevity! King Longevity!
Why should he be burned to death?
King Longevity did not commit any crimes!
King Longevity…
King Longevity…
It is a quarter to noon. Proceed with the execution!
King Longevity! Please spare King Longevity! King Longevity!
Be quick with it. Any delay and you'll get punished too, so be quick with it!
Killer! Killer!
Eternity, put down your hatred. Do not seek revenge by violence means. Be compassionate and loving like a Boddhisattva.
Eternity, go back to the mountains. Remember: overcome your hatred with love!
King Longevity!
King Wei Mu occupied my kingdom and killed my father. I swear I'll revenge his death!
Later, to seek revenge, Prince Eternity came to the city and tried to befriend the royal family, in order to find an opportunity to enter the palace and kill King Wei Mu.
Sir, we got a handyman. Here he is.
Come over and greet the manager.
What is your name?
My name is Eter…no, no, my name is Zhang Peng. Zhang Peng.
Where are you from?
I am from another province. I came here to find my relatives, but I couldn't find them, so…
Do you know how to run errands and do garden work?
Yes, I can. I do this kind of thing every day.
You need to be smart and quick to work at the royal residence.
Yes, sir.
Get him to change his clothes.
Thank you, sir.
It's your lucky day. Let's go!
Your Excellency, please watch your steps.
Wow, so beautiful! Oh, so beautiful! Wow! Wow! I never expected the scenery, even in the rain, to be so beautiful.
Zhang Peng, what is this grass called?
This is called beggarticks.
Beggarticks? I've never heard of it.
This is Zhang Peng, the new servant I mentioned to you. Everyone likes him very much.
Zhang Peng is doing a good job tending the garden. Now all the flowers are blooming.
Your Excellency, Zhang Peng is very quick and smart. He is not only good at gardening, but also good at the art of tea.
Oh? Good. Get him to make some tea for me.
Yes, Your Excellency. Go and tell Zhang Peng to make some tea for his Excellency.
Your Excellency, this is a new variety of very rare orchid. I hope you like it.
So fragrant! It is really beautiful!
Thank you, Your Excellency.
Your Excellency, I made a pot of "Fragrant Healthy Tea" for you. This kind of tea can cleanse your throat and lungs, protect your liver, and strengthen your body. It also helps you gain longevity.
It smells very good! It tastes so fresh and sweet. My whole body feels so refreshed.
Here are some desserts.
Yes. Your Excellency, I made this hawthorn cake for you. It will enhance your appetite. Please have a taste.
Very delicious! Very delicious! Zhang Peng, it is surprising that you can make such good desserts!
Thank you, Your Excellency.
Zhang Peng, tell me, what other skills do you have?
Your Excellency, I also know how to cook. Oh? Good. Let's see how good you can cook. Go and prepare a sumptuous dinner for me.
Go quickly.
Yes, Your Excellency.
If he really can cook, I'll have to show off his cooking skill to the King. And if the King is pleased, he will promote me to a higher rank.
Your Majesty, did the dishes suit your taste?
They were so delicious! They are perfect in taste, smell and appearance. They're as good as my personal chefs' cooking.
Your Majesty, thank you for your commendation.
My dear courtier, you have a great cook. No wonder you always wanted me to come over and taste his cooking. So delicious! Yes, tell the cook to come out. I want to see him.
No rush, Your Majesty. I told my versatile cook to prepare some delicate and nutritious desserts for you.
What are we waiting for? I cannot wait. Bring up the desserts.
Yes, Your Majesty. Send Zhang Peng here.
Summon Zhang Peng.
Yes, sir.
Zhang Peng, come here to greet His Majesty.
My name is Zhang Peng. Greetings to Your Majesty!
Zhang Peng, bring the desserts to the King.
Yes, Your Excellency.
Zhang Peng, tell His Majesty what desserts you have prepared.
Yes. Your Majesty, this is Purple Rice Cake. The purple rice is also called the rice of longevity. It is a natural nourishing food that can lengthen your life and make you live forever.
Make me live forever!
Your Majesty, I also made a pot of "Fragrant Bodhi Tea" for you. It not only cleanses the throat and lungs, but also protects the liver and calms the nerves.
So fragrant! Good tea! My beloved courtier, your cook is so good. No wonder you look so healthy. How about letting him work for me?
Your Majesty, it will be Zhang Peng's blessing to be hired by you. Zhang Peng, come here and thank His Majesty.
Yes. My gratitude to you, Your Majesty.
Your Majesty, we are so honored to have you here. I've arranged some dance and singing performances for your entertainment.
Good! Good!
Present the performances.
Present the performances.
Zhang Peng then became a security guard for King Wei Mu. Aside from cooking, he was additionally talented in many areas. Thus, he quickly won the favor and trust of King Wei Mu. The King made him his personal guard.
How could it be?
Zhang Peng was in deep agony because this palace used to be his father's, and now he serves the enemy. But when he thought he would have chances to take revenge, he worked even harder.
Another archer. Sigh! We haven't had any wars in a long time, and all of your fighting skills are slack. You cannot even shoot an arrow! Zhang Peng, how is your archery?
Your Majesty, my father taught me martial arts when I was young, so I know a little about archery.
Oh? Then give it a try.
Great! Show us some awesome skills. Let us see what else the royal chef can do!
My son, shooting arrows is like meditating. You must concentrate well. Concentrate on the red dot of the target. When you feel that you are one with your spirit, you can shoot the arrow.
Excellent! Incredible! Zhang Peng, you are truly endowed with both artistic and martial skills. You are exactly the talented person I need. From now on, you will be the Imperial Guard Bearing Arms in the Emperor's Presence.
Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty.
We have just enjoyed part 3 of the 4-part spiritual drama, "Love & Enmity," adapted from the story as told by Supreme Master Ching Hai, and performed by our Association members from Taoyuan, Formosa (Taiwan).
During the August 2010 teleconference in the United States, Supreme Master Ching Hai explained the wisdom of King Longevity's decision not to respond to the invasion of his kingdom with war – even at the cost of his own life.
We just always have to act in the principle of love, nothing else matters because… listen: today I can sit on the throne, tomorrow I'll be gone. Today, I have my country, tomorrow I might not, but love will always prevail. And if we live in love, we act in love, we die in love, we will always incarnate in love, okay? And then, if we don't have this country, we will have another country; if we don't have this body, we will have another body. And we have a better body, we have a better country all the time, if not here, then in Heaven.
SM: I repeat again: killing is never right, neither humans nor animals. And war is never, never right.
Will Prince Longevity listen to his father's last words of forgiveness, or end up getting his revenge by taking the life of King Wei Mu, to whom he is now nearer than ever? We'll find out when the drama concludes tomorrow, Saturday, January 15.
Thank you for watching today's Enlightening Entertainment. Please stay tuned to Supreme Master Television for Words of Wisdom, coming up next after Noteworthy News. May we always embrace the great principle of love.
Today's Enlightening Entertainment will be presented in Chinese and English, with subtitles in Arabic, Aulacese (Vietnamese), Chinese, English, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Mongolian, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Thai.
Greetings kind viewers! Today, we are delighted to present the final part of the four-part drama series, titled "Love & Enmity." In the previous episodes, we learned that King Longevity abdicated his throne to King Wei Mu to avoid war and suffering.
However, he was eventually captured and executed brutally by the usurper King Wei Mu. Disregarding his father's final advice to treat the enemy with love, Prince Eternity aimed to avenge his father, by disguising himself as a talented servant. He eventually became the King's trusted guard. This spiritual drama is adapted from a story as told by Supreme Master Ching Hai, and performed by our Association members from Taoyuan, Formosa (Taiwan).
Your Majesty, there is a severe flood in the south, and hungry people are wandering all over the regions. What can we do?
What proposals do you have?
Your Majesty, we can block the flood by raising the dykes.
Your Majesty, in ancient times, Emperor Yu prevented floods by canalling instead of blocking the water.
No, Your Majesty, nowadays, the climate has become abnormal, and the storms and floods are even more devastating than those in Emperor Yu's time. No matter how many canals we build, the flood cannot be controlled. My humble opinion is to first move our citizens to higher places, and then we'll figure out a solution later.
How come there is no long-term solution? Zhang Peng, do you have any good strategies?
Your Majesty, after listening to Their Excellencies' opinions, I came up with an idea.
Oh? Tell me about it.
To manage the water we should follow the principle of nature. Upstream, we should ban deforestation, as the forests can store water; midstream, we should construct artificial lakes to regulate the water supply.
And then?
Downstream, we should build canals and guide the water into the ocean. This way we can prevent flooding.
Good, good! Excellent idea! It not only eliminates floods and preserve forests, but also resolves the irrigation problems during dry seasons. Zhang Peng, you truly have a rare talent for managing a nation.
I'm humbled.
Wow, that must be very painful.
Of course. He used to live in that palace, along with his relatives. And now the enemy who killed his father was in front of him. But he had no opportunity for revenge. Eventually, however, the chance arrived.
Too bad, it ran away again. Your Majesty, let's chase after it.
Zhang Peng, let's stop. We've chased it for so long, and I feel so tired.
Your Majesty, there is a rock ahead of us. Why not sit down and have a rest?
Okay, let's go!
Please have a rest on the rock.
Okay. I'll rest for a while. Where are the other people?
Your Majesty, you are too strong and fast. They couldn't catch up with you.
Alright. Then I will take a rest.
Yes, Your Majesty, please have a good rest. Hmph! Today will be the day to revenge my father. I will make you lie down forever.
"No, son, you should learn the compassion and mercy of Buddha." "Overcome your hatred with love. Do not commit any violent act."
No! No!
Your Majesty!
Zhang Peng!
Your Majesty, what happened?
I…. I just dreamed that somebody wanted to kill me.
It's okay. Your Majesty, you are very safe. Maybe you are too tired.
Please continue with your nap.
Yes, with your presence, I have no worries.
You'll be fine.
Okay, I'll continue with my nap.
O Lord! He trusts me so much, but I was going to kill him… How can I have the heart to do it? No, this is a good chance. Kill him! Kill him! Okay, you murderer! Don't blame me for being heartless. After this strike, we'll be even.
"My son, don't use violence; learn compassion from the Buddha. Use love to cleanse hatred."
No! No! Zhang Peng, I dreamt that the prince of Kingdom of Longevity wanted to kill me to revenge his father! But then he changed his mind… Zhang Peng, what's wrong with you?
Your Majesty! Please punish me for my sin. The truth is, I am the prince of the Kingdom of Longevity.
What? You… you are the prince?
Yes, I am Prince Eternity of the Kingdom of Longevity.
You are Prince Eternity? Then why didn't you kill me?
Following my father's compassionate example, I decided not to take revenge.
No revenge?
No more.
You won't regret it?
No I won't regret it.
Your Majesty, why are you laughing?
Actually, I realized a long time ago that you were different from the others.
Oh? In what respects?
Right after you entered the royal court, you worked diligently and showed proper manners. And you are very familiar with situations in the palace. So, I knew that you were different from others, and I was guarded against you. However, since you have always done a better job than others, I let my guard down. But, I was wrong. Now, go ahead and kill me.
Do not worry. I said I am not going to kill you.
You don't hate me?
Yes, I did hate you! When my father was burned to death, I wanted to kill you. The sorrow and anger inside my heart had driven me to get near you, so I could have a chance to get revenge.
Now is the perfect time.
No, I cannot disobey my father's last will.
What last will?
He said that we should not resolve hatred with hatred. We should learn compassion from the Buddha and forgive others.
Did he really say so?
Yes! Do you know how much I miss my father?
Eternity, actually after burning your father, I also felt very regretful. I should not have treated him so violently. It did not cost me one single soldier to occupy his kingdom and all his wealth. But instead I burned him to death. I deserve death, I truly deserve death…
Your Majesty!
I was wrong! I was so wrong! How could I kill such a wise king? Heaven, please forgive me for my stupidity and incompetence! I've committed great sins.
Your Majesty, please don't say this.
Eternity, I'm sorry. Go ahead! Kill me and avenge your father!
Your Majesty, I have forgiven you already!
Eternity, you came to me with hatred, but have repaid me with love. I didn't realize until today that love is truly the noblest quality. Today I finally understand the greatness of benevolence.
Your Majesty!
I am here.
Your Majesty, you are here!
You finally caught up. Okay, let's go back.
Greetings to Your Majesty!
Arise! My beloved ministers, after we took over the Kingdom of Longevity, I had ordered you to search for King Longevity and Prince Eternity in order to eradicate future troubles. Do you remember that?
Your Majesty. Yes we remember. At that time, a woodcutter turned King Longevity in for the reward. King Longevity did not resist at all even before his execution. His behavior was different from normal people, and it was difficult for me to understand.
Your Majesty, we still don't know the whereabouts of Prince Eternity.
Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will find him and kill him so that we can eliminate future troubles.
Wait! I don't want to kill him anymore.
I was lost in the forest yesterday while we were hunting, and I came across the long-missing Prince Eternity.
Prince Eternity?
Did the audacious prince do anything disrespectful to Your Majesty?
You worry too much. He did not show any disrespect to me. Instead, he forgave my sin of killing his father. His leniency made me feel deeply ashamed for the violence I had committed.
Is that so?
In order to eradicate future trouble, I killed the benevolent and virtuous King Longevity. He not only accepted his fate without resistance, but also told the prince to overcome hatred with love and not to revenge for him. All these years, even though I enjoyed glory and wealth, I have been plagued by my conscience.
And I haven't had a single good-night's sleep – until yesterday, when Prince Eternity liberated me from the deep abyss of guilt with his boundless love. Only then was I completely awakened. I realized that wars and hatred are sinful. Only love is the only treasure. My beloved ministers, this is the person who saved me, Prince Eternity.
Prince Eternity? It's him? How come we didn't know?
My dear ministers, I have decided to return the Kingdom of Longevity to Prince Eternity.
Your Majesty!
Please think it over.
I believe that his wisdom and compassion will surely bring limitless happiness and peace for his subjects.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
After I return to Wei Mu, I will also reign my country with love and let the people therein live a happy life. Eternity!
Your Majesty.
Now I am returning the Kingdom of Longevity to you.
This…Your Majesty!
Come here.
This… Your Majesty!
Sit down. Come…
Your Majesty…
Please sit down.
Your Majesty.
Take your throne.
Long live King Eternity!
Wow, Prince Eternity finally became the King.
Thank Heavens!
Yes, he did not seek revenge. Instead, he touched the King of Wei Mu with the compassion of a Buddha. In the end, the King of Wei Mu returned the kingdom to him and said that he would also treat his people with compassion.
That is wonderful!
After Prince Eternity took back the kingdom, he reigned his nation with boundless wisdom and compassion. His subjects lived happy and peaceful lives. The whole nation praised him and loved him.
King Eternity was truly a benevolent and wise king. If King Longevity saw his achievements today, he would be very pleased.
This story is so touching.
Yes. Although King Longevity had passed away, he still looked after everything with his invisible presence.
This is the dragon jade pendant.
Grandpa, didn't you say that King Longevity gave the jade pendant to the guard?
Strange, how come you have it?
Were you the guard? Grandpa?
And this pendant looks just like the Dragon totem on Granduncle Long's tomb stone.
All these stories have long passed. Let's set the bunny free.
It is late now. You'd better go home.
Let's go.
This concludes our four-part spiritual drama series "Love & Enmity," performed by our Association members from Taoyuan, Formosa, and adapted from a Buddhist story as told by Supreme Master Ching Hai. During the August 2010 teleconference in the United States, Supreme Master Ching Hai spoke of the story to emphasize why war is never justified.
Because the leaders, if they are so attached to their position and their opinion, and they cause suffering to anybody of any kind, then their bad karma (retribution) is too heavy, too heavy. I mean, even if you gain the whole kingdom, even if you are king of the biggest nation, how long can you keep it?
But the bad karma (retribution) will be with you forever. And when you die, my God, nobody there will help you, except your terrible retributions are waiting for you. The leaders, if they realize that, they would never raise a finger against any neighbor country.
Even the enemy country, they will find a way to negotiate, to dialog so that things will become ironed out and better and peaceful for both countries, because war will always cost lives – lives of the people, the elderly, the innocent, the women, not just the men.
War is never good, never justified.
Thank you for watching today's Enlightening Entertainment. Please stay tuned to Supreme Master Television for Words of Wisdom, coming up next after Noteworthy News. May all our hearts be blessed with nobility and forgiveness.
HOST: Greetings noble viewers, and welcome to Enlightening Entertainment. Love is one of the core values in all religions. However, it is not always easy to put it into practice, especially when we encounter seemingly unjust situations.
Today, we are going to present part 1 of a 4-part series, titled "Love & Enmity," which explores the universal themes of love, loss, anger and forgiveness. This drama, performed by our Association members from Taoyuan, Formosa (Taiwan), was adapted from the Buddhist story as told by Supreme Master Ching Hai.

The occurrence of persistent vaginal bleeding following laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH) is reported in the wide range of 0 % - 25 %. Experienced gynaecologists have claimed that removal of any remaining endometrium in a reverse cone pattern at the time of the hysterectomy reduces the occurrence of persistent vaginal bleeding to a minimum. The effect of this particular technique has not been reported.
Ullevaal University Hospital have developed an unipolar electrode for this study (Lapcone electrode, mod. UUS, L: 25cm, 6x10, Art. No. REM-270, Ross Electro Medical Ltd, Unit K1&K2, Quarry Fields Estate, Mere, Wiltshire BA12 6LA, London, UK). The electrode is CE approved.
Outcome: 1.Occurrence of vaginal bleeding 12 months after the procedure. 2. Patient satisfaction 12 months after the procedure (10-point analogue scale).
Design: Prospective randomised trial. Methods; The study participants are randomised to laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy performed by perioperative electrocoagulation from the upper cervical canal (n=70) or performed by excision of the endocervix in a reverse cone pattern followed by electrocoagulation of the upper cervical canal (n =70).

Song Joong Ki And Song Hye Kyo Reportedly Confirms Relationship
Soong Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo are the stuff of many dating rumor headlines as it has been reported that they have already confirmed their relationship to the public. All of this happened despite the uncomfortable bromance issue that Song Joong Ki and Park Bo Gum had.
However, the uncomfortable bromance status of two of the hottest Korean actors to date might be shifted to brighter news as fans are already very excited about the upcoming interview of Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo with W Korea magazine.

Benefit Maybe Baby Eau de Toilette Reviews
AlcoholEverybody gave this fragrance such rave reviews, I was determined to get a whiff. Honestly, I was a bit disappointed when I spritzed it because the alcohol smell took a long time to fade. I thought, "Ewww.. This is alcohol and powder." If you like younger, powdery scents, this is for you. I think ultimately it's okay but not classy enough for a mature woman. — 8 years, 4 months agoleo1999 | 678 reviews

Powdery but disappointingHas a very nice initial scent, but it fades so fast! Does not last long at all. At first it smells all nice and powdery and floral. Then it's gone. Staying power is highly disappointing. Nice bottle. Benefit always has great descriptions and packaging. I will not purchase this item again. — 4 years, 11 months agorobyne00 | 19 reviews
Good, safe perfumeIt's a completely neutral, unoffensive scent. Nothing spectacular, nothing boring. It smells exactly, and I mean EXACTLY like Gwen Stefani LAMB perfume. I took it back and bought the LAMB instead. It is a younger floral great for daytime. — 2 years, 8 months agoMsAtomicBomb | 228 reviews
GreatI love love LOVE this perfume! I don't know how to describe it since everyone has their own preferences, but it is a nice light scent. I have had some perfumes react with my skin before only to smell like something completely different. This one did not do that & it stays on great. — 4 years, 3 months agoCirbii | 67 reviews
It's not loveIt smells like water lilies to me, and fresh. I don't smell alcohol in it, but I did find myself wondering what the fuss was all about I am pretty certain I am returning it as it really just smells like water lilies to me, which isn't something I desire to smell like. It's by no means awful, but appears to be very overrated. — 3 years, 6 months agojanice_curle | 3 reviews

Absolutely the best!One of my very favorite scents ever! This smells lovely and has the sort of feeling that it is concentrated. I would maybe reapply only once after the initial spraying and only use one or two sprays per. I am still on my first bottle and am rationing it. I rotate it out with a few other favorites. — 5 years, 6 months agosilvermarigold | 5 reviews
One of my favorite perfume's everI first got this perfume at 14 and used it as my night fragrance until it ran out. I saw it again at Sephora and fell in love with it again. A classy scent for gardenia and floral lovers suitable for day or night — 5 years, 6 months agolaurathelan | 4 reviews

In the world of recruiting, schools will take any advantage they can get when it comes to attracting the best players for their programs.
And Notre Dame is getting a lift from someone who's already on campus and isn't affiliated with the football team.
Fighting Irish women's basketball star Skylar Diggins is a superstar on campus and incoming freshmen football players have been abuzz just over spotting the senior guard around campus.
"Got class right across the hall from Skylar Diggins #winningtothemax," freshman football player Jarron Jones tweeted earlier this week, the South Bend Tribune reported.
Diggins is a star on the court. She's scored 1,726 career points and led Notre Dame past Big East rival and powerhouse Connecticut in back-to-back seasons in the Final Four only to lose in the national championship game.
She rocketed up the social media ladder when she was seen next to rapper Lil Wayne at a WNBA finals game last October and when he wore a No. 4 Notre Dame jersey (Diggins' jersey number) at his concert in Bloomington, Ind., in April 2011.
Diggins has more than 250,000 followers in Twitter.
According to the South Bend Tribune, Diggins went to the football team's spring game and recruits were excited about the opportunity to have pictures taken with her.
"My mom like ran up to her, and she was real nice about it," freshman running back Will Mahone told the Tribune. "Some people probably would be annoyed with stuff like that. She was definitely cool and really nice."
Devin Butler is a 2013 Irish commitment and he had his picture taken with Diggins at the spring game. He said that Diggins was nice and took photos with anyone who wanted one.
"It really just shows the level of character that Notre Dame builds in their students and their athletes," Butler told the Tribune. "It's a very special thing. It's one of the most special things about Notre Dame—the camaraderie among the community."

I've combined a few posts from other topics and forums, but here goes...
I watched beto's pec drill a few more times, and read blake t's secret technique/hammer drill thread on, trying to get a real feel for the hit. Putting these 2 together while playing tonight, it didn't seem to add any distance, but didn't take it away either. When everything was right, they flew smoother with much less effort, no soreness or fatigue. I was primarily throwing a Discraft Nebula (08 ace race disc) (it's bright orange, and the course isn't very maintained, plus it was getting darker) only the slightest high speed turn, then finishing pretty much straight.
I tried this again for 8 holes tonight, not comfortable with water so close to the one hole). Still using the Nebula, I was starting to get a more consistent release point, still right around 200' so I'm obviously not doing something right. It was about a 50/50 mix of when they were smooth and when I was strong arming. The strong arms always went farther, but figure that's just since I'm so new to this style.
I'm wanting to stick with a mid to point out form flaws, but thinking about using something different from the Nebula since they don't make it anymore. I have discraft: meteor, nebular, impact, all esp and 174 fairly new, a z wasp 174 moderately warn, a esp buzz 177 brand new, and a 173 d stratus that has endured more than any disc should. Innova dx goblin 175 new, champ shark I think max weight, but can't read it anymore, and beat to hxll and back. I have a d challenger 174 kind of warn and a gateway wizard 175 beat almost as bad as the shark. I can never find a comfortable grip to drive putters though.
What I'm really concerned with is I had some pain in my shoulder, mostly gone now. Kind of upper pec area, when you extend your arm similar to a follow through, the pain is concentrated right at the bottom of the clavicle. I think this is the rotator cuff, but not sure. I used to get this same kind of pain when I was trying to hard and played too many holes. I'm not sure if I should be worried, or just assume it's from not throwing for so long.

Frankly the Colts were at their best to START the game, as in when the rust should have been there. And I'm not sure how playing the week before helped the Chargers with Gates hurt and then LT and Rivers added to that list.
I mean the Colts rested the starters the final week of the pre-season. Then they pounded the snot out of the Saints.
"Rust" is intangible, it's impossible to be sure if it's helped or hurt to play. Only one aspect is certain, you don't get injured if you don't play. Again, just ask LT or Rivers.

For Airbus and its A350XWB program, 2013 should prove a critical year. With service entry already pushed back to the second half of 2014, the European airframer is carefully managing expectations for a first flight as it seeks to resist the temptation to rush the key milestone in time for June's Paris Air Show. At the consortium's annual press conference last week, company executives would talk only of a "mid-2013" maiden flight, while trumpeting the completion of the first airframe (MSN2), expected to start initial static tests in the spring. Airbus plans to use the second aircraft (MSN1), assembly and "power-on" of which it achieved in December, for flight-testing. Soon it plans to start building a third A350 (MSN3) at its final assembly line in Toulouse, France.
"We will have a certified engine pretty soon, as Rolls-Royce has done its blade-out test [on the Trent XWB turbofan]," Airbus CEO Fabrice Bregier said during the January 17 press briefing. He acknowledged that Airbus continues to address A350 supplier "issues" in an effort to manage the supply chain better. "This program remains challenging but we are focused on our biggest challenge–to fly the A350," he concluded, admitting that Airbus would be "very proud" if first flight took place in time for the Paris show.
Contributing orders for 105 of the 582 A350s in the sales backlog, the new -1000 variant of the A350 received "a big endorsement," said Bregier, when Cathay Pacific and Qatar Airways ordered 37 and 26 respectively. Sales trends appear to show less interest in the smaller A350-800 and stronger demand for the larger -900 and -1000 variants, which compete more directly with Boeing's 777.
Separately, the European manufacturer announced the appointment of Eric Chen as the new president of Airbus China. The Shanghai-born executive previously served as Airbus China's senior vice president for commercial and external affairs. He succeeds Laurence Barron, who has now become chairman and CEO of EADS China. Meanwhile, Airbus China also has named Rafael Gonzalez-Ripoli-Garzon as its new COO.

I have a Photon-Glo Buzzz and love the way it flies, but eventually it will become too beaten or lost. When I buy a back-up/replacement, I am curious how Photon-Glo compares to the other Discraft plastics. Does Photon fly and feel like pro-D? How does Photon wear compared to comparable Discraft plastic? I don't need the disc to glow because I have switched to bobber lights for any night rounds so if Photon flies and wears like pro-D plastic, I could save $3 a disc.
It might be useful to point out that I have Z plastic of the same disc (in this case the Buzzz) and do like it, but the Photon-Glo has a straighter and more predictable flight for me.

Three-star athlete recruit Devin Holiday hasn't made it a secret that he liked what Arizona had to offer. The San Marcos (Calif.) Mission Hills prospect even came close to committing on his unofficial visit to Tucson earlier this month.
Thursday night the 5-foot-10 recruit capped off a big day for Rich Rodriguez's program by committing to the Wildcats.
"Everything went great," Holiday told GOAZCATS.com earlier this month about his trip. "Honestly I loved it up there, I'm really excited about Arizona. The coaching staff was great, I got to meet almost every coach. And I was able to sit down and have a good, legit conversation with every coach. On my tour Shaq Richardson was there, and it was really cool to meet a player who's already playing college ball.
"And it was just a great atmosphere."
When GOAZCATS.com spoke with Holiday earlier this month at the Southern California Rivals.com Showcase, the talented defensive back stopped short of saying UA was his dream school but the Wildcats certainly had an edge in his recruitment.
"Actually growing up it was my favorite school," he said. "So that started it off, then getting the offer was surprising. And I really have a lot of interest in that school.
"I like the fact that it's close, and I know Shaq Richardson and he said he really likes it there. He's kind of like a mentor to me, so I like that."
Rodriguez's program was the second to offer Holiday, and the nation's 50th-ranked athlete recruit picked the 'Cats over offers from Cincinnati, Hawaii, Houston, New Mexico and San Diego State.
The Aztecs recently emerged with an offer for the local recruit, but the 'Cats relationship with Holiday likely played a big part in his final decision.
"Very important, because they showed me once again when I was down there that they want me and why they're recruiting me so hard," he said earlier this month about his relationship with the UA staff. "It's always good to have coaches like those who have a lot experience coaching. I know they've got 20-plus years, almost all of them, so that's definitely great.
"I can get some great coaching that will turn me into a better player, without a doubt."
Going forward the plan will likely be for Holiday to stick on the defensive side of the ball and form a formidable cornerback tandem with previously committed three-star prospect Darius Allensworth.
The pair has talked about playing together in the past, and now both will continue their careers in Tucson.
"I met him at a camp and we just keep in touch, so we've built a friendship," Holiday said earlier this month. "We hang out quite a bit, so he's a good friend. I have thought about [playing with Allensworth] a lot and we talk about that a lot.
"We talk about recruiting a lot and that's a great friendship to have. If I do go to school with him that will be great because that's somebody I already know."
Holiday's commitment was the third of the day for UA, and it is the 17th overall in the Wildcats' 2013 class.
