I remember when I was learning Italian in school, I found it interesting that the noun came before the descriptive word. It would be "chair yellow" rather than "yellow chair", and I've found that Pali can work like this at times. If it is working like Italian in this instance (which I suspect it is) dukkha is a description or quality of sankhara. So just like we don't need to say "chair are yellow" or "chair is yellow" and so on in order to attribute yellowness to it, there doesn't need to be an extra word wedged inbetween sankhara and dukkha in order for it to mean "all formations are suffering". That's probably as far as I can go in answering your question with my limited knowledge.
As far as I can tell, I think it's quite similar to what retro said.
It is a predicative construction consisting of two nouns and a verb.
Like "sabbe purise samane honti" meaning "All men are ascetics", but "honti" is not needed to say the same thing.
"sabbe purise samane" is enough also meaning "All men are ascetics". In the same way "sabbe sankhara dukkha (honti)" means "all formations are suffering".
Thanks, Retro, Acinteyyo.
So 'honti' in this case is the verb?
And it's missing from "sabbe sankhara dukkha"?
Is the implied verb in such constructions always "is" (or "are")?

text: Local musicians host one more show for a friend By Bill Lynch January 9, 2013 Story Share Courtesy photo Longtime local musician and Colesmouth Concert Series co-founder Dick Patton died of congestive heart failure in November. On Saturday, his friends and family members will gather at the Alban Arts Center for a benefit concert for Patton's family. WANT TO GO?Concert for Dick PattonWith Robin Kessinger, Robert Shaffer, Ron Sowell, Jim Snyder, Marco Pinna and moreWHERE: Alban Arts Center, 65 Olde Main St., St. AlbansWHEN: 7 p.m. SaturdayTICKETS: $10 at the doorINFO: 304-661-0655CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- At Dick Patton's wake in November, there was a point where mourners broke out the kazoos and played a song.Jim Snyder, a lifelong friend of the 56-year-old, remembered turning to the preacher and telling him, "I'll bet you've never seen that at a wake before."Snyder said the preacher looked at him and replied, "No. No, I can't say that I ever have."On Saturday night, the friends of Patton will come together at the Alban Arts Center in St. Albans to raise money to help reduce the debts the musician left behind. The show features many local singer/songwriters and performers including Snyder, Ron Sowell, Robin Kessinger, Robert Shaffer, Jeff Ellis and Joe Dobbs.Patton was a regular on the local music scene, mostly seen at open mics held all over the valley. There, Snyder said, he encouraged people to keep playing."He was always doing that, always promoting the other guy -- particularly with young people," Snyder said. "He tried to encourage everybody. I know he was always trying to help me keep moving forward."Snyder said he and Patton met in seventh grade at Nitro Junior High School. "I was kind of a class clown. He was kind of a class clown. We were always just joking around."They went their separate ways after junior high because of where each of them lived: Patton went to Poca High School. Snyder went to Nitro. They remained friendly, though, and when Snyder started playing out, he'd see Patton playing some, too. "He followed me around town for years," Snyder said.Snyder made a career in music. Patton became an airline pilot.About 10 years ago, Snyder, who'd left the state, returned to the area. He and Patton started hanging out, talking and playing guitar."He was always looking to get something musically going," Snyder said.In 2006, Patton started an open mic at the old Nitro High School. From there, he went on to host other open mics in Nitro, Hurricane, Elkview and just about anywhere he could get one started. He also performed at others and played gigs here and there, often with friends like Steve Criner. "I knew Dick for about 40 years," Criner said and laughed. "We met in karate class. Dick was the oldest living white belt. He never took a belt test." The two played together almost every day. Criner said Patton loved music but never took himself too seriously.One of the last songs Criner said his friend wrote was one called, "You can't be unhappy in a hammock.""He liked to make people laugh," Criner said. "He liked to have a good time."That wasn't always easy according to Criner and Snyder."He had a lot of health problems," Snyder said.Patton couldn't work as a pilot after open-heart surgery, Snyder said. He couldn't work as much of anything and was on medical disability. A diabetic who often didn't manage his disease, his health remained shaky for years, not that anybody knew.In 2009, Snyder and Patton started the Colesmouth Concert Series at the Alban Arts Center. It began as a showcase for local singer/songwriters, though has since expanded to include both regional and occasionally even international acts, like Mediterranean jazz guitarist Marco Pinna, who will appear Saturday.However, in October 2009, while the series was still new, Snyder said he got a call from Patton, who told him he'd have to do the show without him.Patton said, "I'm sorry, I can't make it."Snyder asked him, "What's up?"Patton was in the hospital for congestive heart failure. He'd been sick for days, refused to see a doctor and eventually, an ambulance had to be called to take him to the hospital.Snyder said it wasn't just an unwillingness to seek treatment. Patton struggled financially, and even while he was getting assistance, having nothing to contribute embarrassed him. He'd avoid even getting medicine or going to the doctor if he had nothing to give. "Most people didn't know that, either."Still, Patton's death last year came as a surprise to Snyder and Criner. While often not feeling very well because of his medication regimen, Patton seemed to be doing OK."But his organs were shutting down," Snyder said.He died Nov. 10, 2012, of congestive heart failure.Snyder and Criner said the concert is a chance for Patton's friends to pay their respects one more time and honor his contribution to the music community, while helping take some of the burden off the wife and college-age daughter he left behind."He helped a lot of people," Snyder said.Criner added, "He was everybody's friend."Reach Bill Lynch at email@example.com or 304-348-5195.

You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
That sort of thing happens time to time because of guys having been there before so they know what it takes to do it again. That's why everyone in the know stresses the impotence of making the playoffs.
Absolutely undoubtedly, incredibly awesome!
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.

Crud! I worked today until 5 CST and assumed (keep in mind, I live in Arkansas, all anyone is talking about is Mike Anderson being hired as head coach) that the game would start late like the Thursday game. I got a call while I was in KFC that the game had 50 seconds left. I missed the whole thing, no Tivo or anything to even go back and watch it.
and they never quit
@WhatTheFFacts: Studies show that sarcasm enhances the ability of the human mind to solve complex problems!
Butler has more maturity and heart for the game of basketball than the Pacers do.
Brad Stevens always keeps his guys in line and wouldn't tolerate the sloppy play by the Pacers.
Heck, I envy you! :P
I'm not sure if I can muster up the energy to watch the pacers after that great Bulter effort.
Larry Bird and Ryan Grigson- wasting the talents of Paul George and Andrew Luck

Call me a band wagon jumper. I love watching this team play. I am sorry for doubting them ever. I am a Hoosier fan for life. But the Bulldogs are soooo much fun to watch.
D.Nored looks like B.Rush.
B.Stephens leaves Butler for only 1 job: Duke!
(why sell yourself short - no job t/y is worth it, & he can pick his ticket!)

Duke? Really?
If he's going to leave for a bigger school it will be IU since Bloomington is closer to Indianapolis and its a big enough program for him to make the commute not so bad.
He's lived here his entire life I can't imagine him wanting to go beyond the Hoosier state.
Unless his wife has something to say about it.
If Crean can't win w/ his '12 class, I agree, but NO WAY IN HELL you turn down Duke!
If I'm Brad, I would ONLY leave for a top 5 job, & Duke is a small school school, great rep, great conference, great traditon. Nothing else is worth leaving what he has & where he has it, IMO.

They were discussing Missouri making a run at Matt Painter yesterday on "The Ride." If Purdue is open I would expect they would make a serious run at Stevens (they would be foolish not to). On the other hand, as an IU fan, I hope he doesnt go there. It would really suck for me to have to live through 20 years of Purdue kicking IU's butt. The last few years have been intolerable. I couldnt imagine living through this for two decades!
Stevens can do better than Purdue.
there's a logical fallacy...e.g. i lived most of my first 18 years in indiana, and couldn't wait to get out!

Economics of a Physics Degree
Economics of a Physics Education Paper
There is a lot to be said about doing what you love — especially in choosing a career, or at least a starting point.
So let's assume that you are seriously interested in physics, like the subject matter, are maybe a little uncertain about a career path, but are rightfully concerned about paying for the education.
The purpose of this document is to lay out a way of thinking about the expense in general terms: a view from 30,000 feet, so to speak. We will not consider the various scholarship and loan alternatives here, simply because there so many options, and to consider all of them would obscure the basic objective.
Perhaps it goes without saying, but income is related to education level. Here's an example, showing the average income levels for people in approximately the same age bracket (i.e. under 30) in 2006:
|Earnings by Education Level
|Income for high school graduate over 25
|Starting salary for a B.S. Physicist
|Starting salary of a M.S. Physicist
|Starting salary for a Ph.D. Physicist
As shown in the figure to the right, "What's a Bachelor's Degree Worth?," a more recent salary survey indicates an increase in average starting salary by over $10,000: two years!
Note that gender, region, employment sector (academia, industry, government) and individual skills and experience are important, but are not considered here.
Job security is another factor. In an era where the national unemployment rate is about 10%, it's 6.8% for Physicists.3 So a degree can lead to both higher and uninterrupted income.
Undergraduate School
Earning your Bachelor degree
Many factors affect the net cost of an undergraduate education, such as: the institution you select, scholarship and loan alternatives, and your family financial situation. For example, the average annual college costs4 (tuition, fees, room & board) for the 2009 - 2010 academic year are:
- $35,636 for private four year schools
- $15,213 for a public school for in-state students (resident)
- $26,741 for a public school for out-of-state students.
- $2,544 for local community colleges – a low cost alternative with transition to a 4 year school to complete a bachelor degree.
College Expenses
You should also plan to have a miscellaneous expense budget of at least $5,000. The College Board estimates the average cost for books and supplies to be $1,122, average personal expenses of $1,974, and $1,079 for travel. Entertainment, clothing, auto expenses are excluded from this discussion, as are income from summer and part time jobs.
Let's take a cost effective approach — again as a model that you can adapt to your situation — attending a community college for two years and completing a B.S. as an in-state student at a public university. If you can live with parents, there would be no room and board expense, so the cost for the first two years would be:
|2 Years at Community College
|Tuition, fees
|$ 5,088
|Miscellaneous supplies
The final two years at a resident student at a State University would be more expensive:
|2 Years Living at State Supported School
|Tuition, fees, room & board
|$ 30,426
|Miscellaneous supplies
|Subtotal for 2 years
|$ 40,426
|Total for 4 years
|$ 55,514
Opportunity Cost
We also need to consider the so-called "opportunity cost" — how much you would have earned if you were to enter the workforce right out of high school.
Being a bright and eager person, you might command as much as $10 per hour — in a climate where the U.S. minimum wage is $7.25/hr, and the highest state minimum is $8.55 in Washington.
Assuming a 40 hour work week, your gross income would be $20,800 in the first year. With a 5% raise each year, your total gross income would be $89,650 for the four years you would — and should — have been studying physics.
Against this, there would be taxes (we'll estimate 20% of income for federal, state & local) and living expenses. To maintain equivalence with the student living at home at no cost for two years, we'll assume you will live at home for two years at no cost, but then have to pay the equivalent of the room and board expense - $8,193 per year according to "Trends in College Pricing." This reduces the earned income to $55,334. The real total cost of your four year education would be $110,848.
Neglecting for the moment the fact that you will be working in a field you find interesting and challenging, you have attained a threshold that offers upward mobility, with an average annual starting income of $51,000. This is at a time when your annual income would have been about $24,000 as a high school graduate.
The question then becomes how long it would take you to "break even?" Neglecting income taxes and raises the $27,000 per year differential means your "Return On Investment" (ROI) would be about four years — quite possibly less because
- Raises are likely to be larger and more frequent as a graduate physicist,
- We haven't considered income from summer or part-time jobs, possibly at higher pay than a high school graduate, nor
- Financial assistance in the form of scholarships and assistantships.
It is appropriate to comment that this low cost approach to a physics education does not mean that it is inferior. One can argue that a good student will succeed at any school and that any differences in resources between this and an Ivy League school could easily be offset by your learning to be self reliant, focused and dedicated.
A survey of physicists five years after earning their B.S. shows that size or type of the physics department has no effect on obtaining a career path job; their working in a Science, Technology, Engineering or Math job; the number of interviews, time spent looking for or number of offers for a first job; their perception that a physics degree helped them get a first career path job; the number of college or university resources used to find their first career path job; and the first salary offer when controlled for type of job, experience, degree, and gender.
Graduate School
Once you have a B.S. degree, the doors to many professions are open; your undergraduate training is good preparation to advanced training in many fields. Physicists often have productive careers in engineering, medicine, the law, business, finance, or related sciences such as math or chemistry for example. In fact, most Physics bachelors go on to graduate or professional school. So there are many options, including continued graduate training in Physics. Let's consider some of them briefly.
- Graduate school in Physics, leading to a M.S. or Ph.D. can qualify you for a career in academia, government or industry.
As your career and interests develop you can work in pure and applied research, policy development (government), management (government and industry), and education processes for example.
It is often surprising to learn that advanced degrees in Physics can be earned at almost no cost, thanks to a variety of teaching and/or research assistantships. They reimburse tuition and fees, provide a stipend to offset modest living expenses, and are a valuable part of a graduate learning experience.
Alternatively, if you work in government or industrial research, the costs of graduate school can be underwritten by your employer's tuition reimbursement benefits program.
- If you are interested in furthering your education — and value — for an industrial career, new Professional Master in Physics degree programs are being offered at many Universities7.
This, perhaps combined with a MBA would provide a powerful educational background for an industrial career. You should know that many companies have tuition reimbursement programs, so this portion of your graduate education can cost you nothing.
- You can pursue a medical career by earning a M.D. and be involved in patient care and/or research. In addition, training in physics is valuable in medical radiology. More information can be obtained from the American Association of Physicists in Medicine.
Return of Investment
An investment in a physics education can be one of those rare instances where the financial return is fast — about four years for a bachelor's degree — and will continue to pay off at an increasing rate throughout your professional career. The only limitation to a financially secure and fulfilling career is the energy and time you are willing to devote to it — and that is a lot easier if you really enjoy what you are doing.

- In 2015 the care home bounced back, receiving a 'Good' rating from CQC inspectors. Click here for the story.
COUNCIL chiefs have vowed not to place any more elderly dementia sufferers in a Winchester home until it makes drastic improvements to the standards of care it provides.
Hampshire County Council says it is now closely monitoring the residential home – where they have already placed 13 people – after it failed a second surprise inspection because of a catalogue of failings.
As revealed by the Hampshire Chronicle yesterday, inspectors from the Care Quality Commission (CQC) turned up unannounced at St Cross Grange in Winchester following further complaints about the care of residents.
A scathing report revealed how there were concerns around the deaths of five residents within weeks of each other at the 64-bed home while a total of 14 people ended up hospitalised.
Hampshire police yesterday confirmed they had attended the home following the deaths between February and April, but said that none were being treated as suspicious.
The inspectors also noted fears of malnutrition, dehydration and choking among residents and said they had received claims that people were left unwashed for a week.
Cllr Liz Fairhurst, executive member for adult social care and public health, said standards needed to improve "as a matter of urgency".
She said: "We are continuing to support the residents in the home, both those funded directly by us and privately-funded, to ensure their wellbeing and let them have continuity of care.
"We are not placing any new residents in the home while we are working with the provider and the CQC to ensure the improvements are made."
The watchdog issued legal warning notices to owners Greensleeves Homes Trust, who have now installed a new manager at the home in St Cross Road.
Should standards not improve, the commission has the powers to shut down the home, where a bed is said to cost £1,000 a week.
Since the inspection, the Trust said a report on how management plan to bring the home within the law has been submitted to CQC and they were "completely committed to the welfare and well-being of its residents".

As one of the first games to take advantage of DirectX 11, we've been using Dirt 2 to benchmark graphics cards since its arrival in late 2009. Although it's been a crucial part of our testbed, Dirt 2 isn't quite as taxing as it was when the first DX11 cards arrived. With Crysis 2 dissapointingly restricted to DX9 and few other knee-buckling games on the immediate horizon, we've been eagerly awaiting the next iteration of Codemaster's racing series.
The company answered our prayers last week, launching Dirt 3 for the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Developed with the latest (v2.0) EGO game engine, Dirt 3 is a spectacular looking racing game with some surprisingly high, but also incredibly vague recommended system requirements.
Codemasters recommends that you play with an AMD Phenom II or Intel Core i7 processor and an AMD Radeon HD 6000 series graphics card, but fails to mention specific models or anything at all from Nvidia. Meanwhile, the minimum requirements say you can scrape by with a paltry Athlon 64/Pentium D and HD 2000/GeForce 8000 class graphics.
While it's nice that gamers with five year-old machines can play Dirt 3, we're more interested in knowing what it takes to experience the game with all its visual splendor. As usual we've compiled the performance of over 20 graphics cards, all DX11 capable, at several different resolutions.

You, Never? Did the Kenosha Kid?
What's funny is I came in here to wish you guys luck next week, and to say that Bob Sanders coming back made all the difference. Whatever, it's not like I expected any less from the Colts fanbase. Just make sure I get the memo when you guys decide to jump ship to the next "big thing" in the sports scene in this city.
Hagler just said "HELLO!" to Hall.
Eindar, I'm sure indy didn't mean any disrespect. Comments like those are par for the course in game threads. They're more blanket statements than anything. Hell, I make statements like those all the time.
Bethea says "GAME OVER, BI...er...yeah."
Well, I guess it's only fitting that the Colts continue the Indy teams' theme of losing to the eventual champs.
I thought you were in here with the "think, then speak" stuff just looking to troll and ruin our fun, or something. But, you're just as emotionally invested in this as we are. Sorry, dude. Good game, and g'luck next season.
You, Never? Did the Kenosha Kid?
Hey guys, does anybody know at what time the game is next week?
But... we can't lose to ourselves!
You, Never? Did the Kenosha Kid?
It's still in poor taste, no matter who says it, or in what context. I'd go further into depth on exactly what's wrong with that behavior, but I'd rather not fan the flames. Enjoy your win.
Hall got "Jacked up"
2007 Super Bowl XLI Champions!
indy probably didn't mean anything by it, it's just like Shade said it's the heat of the moment.
Good game, though.
Super Bowl XLI Champions
2000 Eastern Conference Champions
Hell yes. DEFENSE BABY!!!
I'm extremely excited to play Baltimore, but I'm doubtful I'll be able to watch the game, I'm going to be in Barcelona.
Eindar, I apologize that you thought my comments were offensive. I was in the heat of the moment and very happy. If you read my comments before the game I gave the Chiefs all the respect in the world and was very worried about LJ. I wasn't trying to be a bad sportsman in any way.
Once again, no offense intended, but you must be pretty new to game threads. Lots of stuff is said in the heat of the moment, most of it very tongue-in-cheek. As a game thread venting lunatic vet , it was very obvious to me that the comment which you were insulted by was obviously meant in jest and was not a personal attack, nor an attack on your team.
And if you want to know why you left RATS, feel free to check it out right now. I went there for the first time in a long time a few days ago and, trust me, it hasn't gotten any better.
And yes, RATS is still pretty bad.

Best post game quote was by Collinsworth, "You think Peyton Manning a week ago was saying thinking ahead to this game, 'we've got to play it conservatively, so our defense can get on the field and make the difference? ' I don't think so."
Here is the full schedule for next weekend
Unclebuck? On a Colts game thread?

The Idaho Potato Commission's giant potato on wheels is gearing up for another tour.
The Great Big Idaho Potato Truck's journeys over five months are expected to cover 19,000 miles, with stops in 26 states, according to a news release from the Eagle-based Idaho Potato Commission.
This is the third year in a row the truck is on tour. The 2014 tour will focus on educating women about heart disease, the No. 1 killer of women.
In 2011, fresh Idaho spuds were certified by the American Heart Association's Heart-Check Food Certification Program.
"The Idaho Potato Commission's support of the American Heart Association's Go Red For Women movement provides another new and exciting way we can remind consumers, especially women, of the nutritional benefits Idaho potatoes offer," Frank Muir, the commission's president and chief executive officer, said in the release. "In addition to a new charity beneficiary, we've rebranded the truck so it showcases fresh Idaho potatoes prepared in various ways and creatively communicates the potato's nutritional benefits."
Among the stops the truck will make in 2014: the Kentucky Derby, the Art Car Parade and Festival in Houston and the 55th World Lumberjack Competition in Hayward, Wisconsin.

Wells makes rare spring start in right field
As a reserve, veteran to see time at both corner outfield spots
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Vernon Wells got a rare start in right field for the Angels on Saturday, only his second of the spring at a position where he's spent less than two percent of his career innings.
In the reserve role he figures to be in this season, playing both outfield corners is a must for the 34-year-old.
"That's always been the case -- I've always been able to just play wherever," said Wells, who has frequently situated himself in right field during batting practice to get used to reading balls off the bat. "[Right field is] not an issue. It's just a matter of if guys need a day, just be ready to play, anywhere and everywhere. I don't think I'm going to be playing much in center field because we have two guys there [Peter Bourjos and Mike Trout]."
All indications point to Bourjos being an everyday player again in 2013, but how much rope he'll get -- and thus how much playing time Wells will receive -- is still a bit hazy with camp breaking in four days.
For what it's worth -- and probably not a whole lot -- Wells has a .394/.421/.788 slash line while starting 14 games this spring, including Saturday's. Bourjos has a .318/.388/.591 line and has started 15 games, including Saturday's.
Early on, after the Angels come out of their opening Interleague series in Cincinnati, Wells figures to fill in a couple of times a week. But that could be a fluid situation.
"Vernon definitely has an opportunity to contribute," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said Saturday. "The way he's swinging the bat now is very impressive, and there's some days you might see Bourjos and Wells in the same lineup if guys need a day here or there. Vernon's been very candid about the situation, the challenge in front of him. He's embracing it and we'll see where it leads."

If you loved Fifty Shades of Grey...get ready to taste Forbidden Fruit.
For university professor Mia Rose Curry, it was all academic: her course in alternative sexuality was a safe, socially acceptable way for her to talk about the things she desired most - but had never let herself experience. And while students crammed into her class to learn about fetishes, bondage, voyeurism, and much more, Mia kept her own raging desires, and her most private fantasies, carefully under wraps...until one man dared to make her secret passions a brazen reality.
Jagger James is everything Mia wants, and everything taboo: he's gorgeous, daring - and a student. Yet Mia can't help imagining his hands, his lips, his skin...all the while drawing closer and closer to this forbidden fruit. She soon discovers how much Jagger wants her, demanding that she abandon every inhibition with him. Now they are about to take a dangerous step, tempting each other's flesh, savoring every touch and breaking every rule - knowing that this dazzling sensual feast is only a taste of something more to come....

I've always been a avid reader so now I'm a avid listener. I prefer the paranormal genre but I do like to switch things up. It's boring if you don't have variety. Of course I do love the romance and the hotter the better. Also, you can't beat a good thriller filled with suspense and a ending you can't even guess at until the very end.
I tried to give this one a chance but I have to admit the last two hours I had to double the speed. First of all the story combines another couple that takes just as much of the story as the main characters. It jumps from one to the other so you have to pay close attention or you'll lose track of who's having the conversation or sexual encounter. The story is boring, even though there's plenty of sexual content. In my opinion it's not worth your credit and I wouldn't buy it on sale either.

text: DNR: Sandy's impact should be 'minimal' By John McCoy November 3, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Hurricane Sandy dumped 2 to 3 feet of wet, heavy snow on West Virginia's high mountains earlier this week, but wildlife officials don't believe the blizzard will have any lasting effect on wildlife."I think the impact will be minimal, especially if the snow doesn't stay very long," said Paul Johansen, assistant wildlife chief for the state Division of Natural Resources."It takes a while for that much snow to melt, but with acorns relatively abundant this fall, deer and turkeys and other animals went into the storm in pretty good physical condition. They should be fine for a few days while the snow melts."Johansen said creatures that live in the state's highest elevations are accustomed to weather extremes."They're well adapted to conditions in the mid-Atlantic region, and those conditions certainly include high winds and snowstorms," he explained.Hunters aren't nearly as well adapted to foul weather as their quarry. Johansen expects the snowstorm to affect both the deer archery harvest and the fall turkey harvest."The biggest impact will be on the fall turkey season," he said. "Hunters won't be able to get back into the woods to hunt. In those [mountain] counties, the opportunity to kill a turkey is proportional to the miles you're able to put under your feet. That kind of far-ranging search becomes really difficult when there's a lot of snow on the ground."Most of the counties currently open to turkey hunting are the so-called "traditional" counties, and most of them lie squarely where the highest snows fell."If it had been a little bit of snow, it might have helped hunters locate birds," Johansen said. "But 2 feet of snow is a bit much. The storm definitely will have a negative impact on this fall's turkey harvest." Snowfall also affected trappers who were hoping to kick off their winters by putting out a few sets during Saturday's trapping-season opening day."With that much snowfall, I don't think a lot of trapping got done," said Rich Rogers, the DNR's furbearer project leader. "It shouldn't have much effect on the number of pelts that get taken, but it did get mountain-county trappers off to a later start."The impact on bowhunters should be minimal as well.The bear archery harvest shouldn't suffer much, mainly because bears were already scattered widely through the woods and were difficult for archers to locate.Decades' worth of DNR data have shown that bowhunters kill far fewer bears when mast is plentiful than when it is scarce. This fall's abundant acorn crop was depressing the bow harvest even before the snowstorm hit.Johansen believes the deer archery harvest will be affected, but only a little. "It will provide a short-term hindrance to hunters," he said. "Again, we don't anticipate the snow staying on all that long."Had the storm come just a week later, during the run-up to the peak of the rut, Johansen might have had a different opinion. Coming when it did - just days after rutting activity began - the storm probably affected only those archers who are so diehard they spend every possible waking moment in the woods."Really, I don't think we should anticipate much of an effect on the deer archery kill," Johansen said.Sportsmen probably won't know until January the full extent of the blizzard's impact on hunting. DNR officials usually release the results of the fall turkey harvest sometime in December, and the deer and bear archery results in January.

I don't know why they did this. I bought it from the reduced section at tesco and I can tell why it was so cheap.
I always buy carex soap - it's good value for money and it is also widely available in supermarkets as well as discount shops such as Poundland. It cleans really effectively - I find that it easily copes with really grubby hands. In addition, I find that you only need a tiny bit to get it to lather really nicely which means that it lasts a long time too.
This particular soap, however, is completely marred by its absolutely vile smell. It still does all the wonderful things that I have listed above but none of this stuff matters because as soon as you get some out of the pump, your nostrils are hit with the stench of chocolate orange soap!
We're not talking the christmassy, warming scent of a Terry's chocolate orange here. We're talking synthetic, over powering, artificial and gross. It smells like chocolate - sure. It smells a bit orangey too. But more than anything, it smells of soap. And those three scents make a truly unholy combination.
I used this once then had to re-wash my hands with dish soap to get rid of the vile smell. I then took it into work and put it in the ladies' loos. That was six months ago and it's still half full - no one will use it.
Maybe kids will like this - but I think it's best to stick to classic soap scents!
ABOUT: This hand wash from Carex is part of the fun edition range aimed at children to make washing hands fun. This hand wash has the scent of chocolate orange. The hand wash is antibacterial and is amde using their effective formula combines which cleans, cares and protects. The special formula effectively removes dirts and germs, helps keep skin feeling soft and gives all around protection for healthy hands, both big and small hands. The hand wash comes in a clear bottle and you can clearly see the hand wash through the bottle which is orange in colour. The bottle has a pump dispenser so you can dispense the hand wash easily.
PRICE: This can be purchased from most supermarkets and also Boots and Superdrug stores. Prices may vary although Boots currently have the fun edition hand washes on fofer for just £1.00.
IN USE: After wetting my hands I pressed down on the pump and dispensed some of the hand wash. The hand wash is bright orange in colour and when rubbing my wet hands together it foams up creating a lather which I then used all over ym hands to give them a good wash. The scent of the product is quite strong and smells or orange more than anything and to be honest I wasn't too keen on the orange smell. After washing my hands they felt clean and they also smelt a little of orange as well which I didn't like at all. A good 20-10mins after washing my hands I noticed that they were looking quite dry and they felt dry as well so I had to apply some hand cream.
OVERALL: A fun handwash for kids but I hated it!
I don't mind admitting that since Carex bought out their 'foody' range of hand washes, I have been slightly obsessed. Whilst I refer to it as the 'foody' range, the actual name of the range is 'Fun Editions' (previously 'Family Favourites') and currently includes 4 different scents - Cola Bottles, Strawberry Laces, Bubblegum and Chocolate Orange. I have now tried them all.
The first time I tried this particular hand wash, they were on offer in Sainsbury's for just 90p each so I purchased one of each! They normally retail for around £1.50-2.00 per bottle but I often see them in various supermarkets on offer for less than a pound.
The Chocolate Orange scent had a lot to live up to, not just because I love to eat chocolate orange but because I had previously used Strawberry Laces and Cola Bottles and they smelt WONDERFUL (I have since tried Bubblegum which also smells amazing).
The hand wash comes in a 250ml transparent bottle and looks similar to the other Carex hand washes but with a subtle orange placed below the logo. It has a pump top and dispensing the hand wash is very easy and convenient. The hand wash is a bright orange colour. I wasn't too convinced that the hand wash would smell like chocolate orange but it really does; you can smell both the chocolate and the orange. If you melted Terry's Chocolate Orange and rubbed it all over your hands, I think it would definitely smell a lot like this hand wash... although I wouldn't particularly recommend it...
The slight downside of the scent is that it's very sweet and almost quite sickly smelling. I also tend to prefer the other scents in the range a little more. HOWEVER! I do still think it's a nice scent. It's just not my favourite.
Everybody in my family likes the scent and is happy to use the chocolate orange hand wash. I have noticed that my daughter uses it A LOT! I definitely think this range is a great way to encourage children to wash their hands more often. The bottle also states that the hand wash 'kills 99.9% of bacteria' which is good to know (I don't like hand washes that aren't anti-bacterial).
The hand wash recommends 2 pumps per wash but I find that 1 is enough for me. The hand wash lathers well and the smell is very apparent whilst using it. The scent also transfers well to the skin and appears to stay on my hands for quite some time. It is said to have 'added moisturisers' and I must say I have experienced no problems with my skin whilst using this hand wash, my hands have always been left soft and smooth aftewards.
A bottle of Carex Chocolate Orange Hand Wash can last me up to a month, with regular use. I think it's great value for money and am happy to recommend, even though it's not my most favourite scent in the range.
This is hand wash that is made by Carex. It is one part of a range of fragrances that is made and designed to be around sweets. This hand wash has got a chocolate orange fragrance.
This hand wash comes in a bottle that has got a pump on the top. The bottle is shaped to be curved inwards at the centre of the bottle and I think that makes it easy for children to hold and I think that this range is designed so that it appeals to children.
I do not like the fragrance of this hand wash but my children like it very much and I bought it for them so my thoughts about the fragrance are not important. I dislike it because the hand wash is very orange so I thought the smell was going to be different to what it is, I think the chocolate fragrance is too sweet and sickly and the orange is not strong enough and it is not fresh like it should be.
I have washed my hands with this hand wash and it is very good but I do not think that it is better than other hand wash produce. It does not give many bubbles but the hand wash liquid is pleasing to use and my hands feel clean after I have washed them, it makes my skin go a little bit dry but it does not affect my children's hands like that at all. I use hand cream every time after I have used this hand wash and I have to because I do not like for my skin to feel dry.
This hand wash costs about £1.89 for a bottle and I will buy it for my children again because they like to use it very much and I think it is good for being encouraging to them to make sure they wash their hands.
3 Dooyoo Stars.
My other half picked the Cared Chocolate Orange handwash up one week along with the Strawberry Laces version, and I was so impressed! When I first saw it,I thought that a hand wash that smelt of chocolate would just be wrong, but how wrong was I?
We do always use handwashes in our house as opposed to bars of soap so we do try quite a few. The Cared range is a favourite as they do offer such a range of fragrances and washes that suit every need. The Cared washes are sold in pump action clear plastic bottles. These are usually priced between £1 & £1,80, so are very reasonable.
The Chocolate Orange wash is Orange in colour and I think is more aimed at children, but appeals to everyone once they have used it once! When you dispense the wash the smell of chocolate Orange is strong, and also a very accurate scent. It smells spot on and good enough to eat! The wash lathers up ok on your hands and gives enough of a soapy lather to clean hands thoroughly. It doesn't feel to drying either whilst using and afterwards. My hands always feel clean after using and not dried out like other washes can.
The Chocolate Orange scent stats on the skin for hours and although strong doesn't overpower you. The only problem I find is that it makes me crave chocolate Orange haha!
I think this product is aimed as a novelty item, but I love it for daily use and anyone who uses our bathroom always comments how nice and unusual the hand wash is!
I'm not commonly a supporter of the Carex hand washes, I'm not also interested in the scents. Nonetheless I've been hearing reviews about their 'Chocolate Orange' and 'Strawberry Laces' hand washes. Although buying in Tesco lately I discovered the Carex hand washes at half price on offer, decreased from £1.80 to 90 pence each, I really decided to get one to use. I'd a number of Terry's Chocolate Oranges in my own wagon anyhow, and thus that's likely what caused me to buy them!
The Chocolate Lemon hand-wash will come in a jar, the bottle so you can easily see just how much hand wash you've left, itself is distinct. The handwash itself is actually a thick consistency that is magnificent, and it's really bright red in shade. This smells totally heavenly, adequate to consume essentially! This smells exactly like candy lime, delicious nice and chocolatey yet orangey. This won't smell synthetic in any way, it smells similar to the true thing (nicely an actual Terry's Chocolate Lemon anyway!!). As he's not really a chocolate lover, it's a really nice fragrance nevertheless and so not everyone will require to it, my spouse is not too thinking about the perfume.
One pump with this hand wash is sufficient to effectively wash my hands, it lathers up very well on my hands with just a small amount of water. It is definitely very gentle also my palms does not dry up like some hand washes may, even with constant use that is daily. This leaves my hands completely clean. This leaves my palms experiencing charming and delicate, and sensing absolutely divine, along with the candy lemon fragrance remains on my fingers for absolutely ages after washing them, actually I quite often hook myself merely sniffing my fingers from time to time after I Have used this hand wash! I like this it's an anti bacterial hand-wash.
I'dn't wait to recommend this handwash, and that I'll definitely purchase it again. I do believe it's basically a serious wintery and joyous aroma as I often seem to chocolate pears with Holiday.
The bottle is grip the bottle and curved in the middle which makes it a lot easier to pick up. The full bottle including the pump to dispense the hand wash is made from durable plastic that is tough - the pump is also very simple to wriggle and activate for first use. Another significant variable for me as well into washing my daughter's hands as discussing she was how successful this would be at killing germs - because nobody likes a handwash that merely smells nice! Particularly with winter I need something to fight off the seasonal bugs.
One thing I didn't enjoy very much about the hand wash was merely how watery the liquid is - the greatest was I can describe it is a rather heavy gel... to me when in use due to the wateryness you do not believe your hands are receiving the finest clean but I assume as the product is aimed at children and children aren't huge supporters of hand wash it is a victor!
Further information given in the back label tells you the handwash has added moisturisers, supports skins dermalogically tested for skin kindness and antibacterial shields. For all those who don't use their handwash as frequently as me and my daughter you'll be pleased to learn this particular brand has a shelf life of 18 months that's very good. A nice little bonus printed in the back is the fact that it tells you the product is not food and you can not eat it - oh... but it smells so damn yummy!
For use this hand wash is very straight forward - for first time use wriggle the pump to activate - you simply press down with one hand that will dispense the liquid into your other hand and it pops up. You're then advsied to wash your hands for about fifteen seconds with hot water to get the gain. You then rinse with tepid to warm water. During use you find the pump works well unlike another hand washes I have really tried in the past.
At first I was just a little bit undecisive on wheather I would really think this smells like Chocolate Orange as I can imagine they would get the odor right... only like Terrys Chocolate Orange smells like... Althought I liked the Strawberry Laces aroma to me it did not quite smell like strawberry laces... Yet much to my surprise I actually don't believe the can do anything to strengthen the aroma on this one - perfect - only like Terrys Chocolate Orange! If a great lover of chocolates or oranges are not you, this hand wash may not be for you although I enjoy it!
Everyone with children within their families should have at least one bottle with this in their house - it makes me feel better knowing my child really needs to scrub her hands more frequently which gives me assurance that she won't be as phrone to picking up as many winter bugs! The smell as absolutly amazing and immediately appeals to chocolate lovers... it lingers on your own skin for ages after washing and you discover yourself always sniffing your hands. Just under two weeks after and my chocolate orange hand wash is nearly concluded... We never finish hand wash that fast in this house... For 88p theres nothing whatsoever to complain about if I can only just get this on full price and I'm sure I am going to buy it again in future!
When I started toilet training my daughter I wanted to make it as fun as possible for her in order that she wouldn't find it so daunting as she is the sort of child who will either like something or hate it straight away and trying to change her mind can be a long and slow process. Therefore, when I got everything ready for her to start going to the toilet like a big girl I even made sure she had her own handwash.
Of course there are lots of different types out there, ones to cleanse, ones that kill bacteria and the posh ones which just smell nice and come in nice bottles. I therefore when out in the supermarket gave my daughter a choice of 2 so she could be the 'big girl' and pick her own. She decided to choose the Carex Complete Chocolate Orange (she could have chosen the strawberry laces variety which I've already tried and tested).
The Carex Complete range of handwashes are all based on sweets which is quite nice but despite their calorie free aromas they are still made with the same formula which helps to remove dirt, grime and germs. Not only is it antibacterial but it also contains moisturisers to help keep the skin feeling soft whilst being protected all at the same time. According to Carex "it Cleans, Cares and Protects, so you and your family can feel free to "Live Life Hands On".
The handwash itself comes in a square transparent plastic bottle which has a pump action top. Because the bottle is transparent you can clearly see the bright orange liquid which is no doubt why my daughter chose this one! On the front of the bottle there is the Carex logo together with the product name and the image of chocolate and oranges. On the reverse of the bottle there is information about the handwash itself, the extensive list of ingredients, warnings and contact information for Carex.
The smell of this handwash is amazing, it smells exactly the same as Terrys Chocolate Orange yet it is good for you and calorie free! Now although it does linger on your skin once you've washed it off, it isn't strong enough to be overpowering so you won't walk around smelling like you've just eaten a Terry's Chocolate Orange! My daughter however just seems to like the smell and is far too young to connect it to one specific thing but apparently it smells "yummy" which helps encourage her to wash her hands.
To use you only need to use the pump once as more than enough orange liquid is released and any more would just be wasting it as once mixed with water it froths up in a nice white lather and easily covers your skin. Once rinsed off you are not left with a residue but instead left with clean hands that smell amazing! My daughter knows how to use the pump and has now become an expert at washing her hands and is now excited to do so once going to the toilet which for me is a plus as it seems she knows the process of going to the toilet and washing her hands.
I use the handwash on a daily basis and I find that despite the strong aroma of chocolate orange it is incredibly mild on the skin. I can suffer with sensitive skin but this hasn't irritated it at all nor has it irritated my daughter's skin. I really do think this handwash is lovely and my daughter loves using it too which can only be a bonus especially when not only trying to teach her to go to the toilet property but also to wash her hands afterwards to help eradicate germs and other nasties.
Overall, this is definitely a great handwash. I cannot find fault with it at all and therefore can easily give it 5 stars.

Carex Chocolate and Orange handwash
This was one of three hand washes from this range that I bought recently. I vastly prefer this to the cola one. This one smells just like orange matchmakers.
This comes in a clear plastic recyclable 250ml container with a push pump dispenser. The product is a transparent orange colour and can be clearly seen through the container.
The Carex quality is there and it states it is anti bacterial and kills 99.9% of all known bacteria. Not sure how they know and which is the 0.01% that manages to get through.
The pump is easy to get going but to me it gives a bit too much of the product with one pump. I use a short half pump usually and have plenty. The other issue I have with the pump is that it dribbles a bit more out and onto the basin side which is wasteful and messy. It doesn't matter what i do it manages to dribble that extra bit out after I have moved my hand.
I find that I need to dispense the product onto dry hands as once they are wet the product just kind of slips around and doesn't stick to my skin and then slips off rather than lathering up . I put the stuff on, wash my hands dry then rinse off as it lathers and that works best. This is different to how I use a bar soap as then I wet my hands and then grab the soap and lather then rinse. You just have to get used to getting the product onto your hands while dry.
The smell is really, really good. It smells good enough to eat and if my eyes had been closed and someone asked me to guess what I was smelling, I would have answered 'chocolate matchmakers' or terry's Choc orange as that is exactly how it smells. The scent lasts for quite a little while once my hands are dry which is quite pleasant.
We have this one in our ensuite bathroom so I don't tend to use it to wash off kitchen smells or garden hands. It is generally only used for after toilet visits up there so I can't say how it cleans really muddy or dirty hands or how it copes with kitchen cooking smelling hands either.
The product lathers well and has not dried my hands out, nor has it caused any skin irritation to my hands. The product is an effective hand wash that promises to kill lots of nasties that might make us ill.
I think this is one I would buy again when on special offer but not sure I would pay extra for it. It does a good job of hand washing and smells like something I could eat.
Thanks for reading. This review may be posted on other sites under my same user name.
I love the scent of both chocolate and range, so when I heard about the existence of this handwash, I knew I had to try it. I had been slightly disappointed with the Cola Bottles handwash from this range, but I didn't let that put me off.
This is part of Carex's Family Favourites' range, which also includes the Cola Bottles that I have tried before, and Strawberry Laces, which I have in my list to try. This range was designed by Carex to give children a favourite scent to encourage handwashing.
The packaging is clear and through it you can see the bright orange coloured liquid. Judging by the colour of the handwash, I was expecting it to be more orange scented rather than chocolate orange, but this doesn't seem to be the case. As soon as you squirt some of the gel onto your hands, you can detect the chocolate orange scent of this handwash, and you can really smell it while you are washing your hands. It's not as strong a scent as the Cola Bottles one, but it is still a nice scent. I also found that this does linger after you wash your hands, unlike the Cola Bottles which disappeared as soon as I dried my hands.
While this product claims to have added moisturisers, I didn't feel that my hands were more moisturised after using this, though maybe as it's aimed at those that are physically younger than me, maybe it has more of an effect on smaller hands? This does have the claim of killing 99.9% of bacteria in seconds and to support the skin's natural antibacterial defences. It is also dermatologically tested.
I think that these handwashes are a fantastic idea for those with young families, as the sweet smell does encourage children to wash their hands more. I am an adult without any children, but I am definitely a child at heart, so these handwashes also appeal to me. These retail for around £1.80, but are often on offer, I paid 92p for mine, which I consider a good price for a handwash that lasts a few weeks.

We always use liquid soap in our house as I actually prefer it to the bars of soap. I always have a soap in the downstairs loo as that's probably the loo that is used the most often and using liquid soap is nice and easy, not to mention quick. I've tried all sorts of different types and usually prefer to use the Dove brand but I was persuaded to try this chocolate orange one from Carex because my daughter said she loved the colour and it was on offer at only 79p for a 250ml bottle (as opposed to the usual price of £1.29).
I must admit, I wasn't too keen on the sound of the fragrance combination - who wants to have their hands smell of chocolates or oranges? I have had this is the bathroom for a couple of weeks now and I still cannot get used to the smell. In fact, after using the downstairs loo, I will actually go upstairs to wash my hands as I really don't like the smell this liquid soap laves on my skin after I have used it. Both my daughter and my husband really love it but I just don't like the odd smell.
In terms of it being an effective soap and for keeping hands clean and germ free, then I have no problems. I think it foams really well and rinses off perfectly, leaving no stickiness or residue on the hands after I have used it. However, I just cannot seem to get past the fact that I really dislike the smell. One the plus side, it does state that it kills up to 99.9% of germs and bacteria but I know that once this bottle has been used up that I won't be buying another.
Recommended as a hand cleanser but only if you love the smell of food on your hands afterwards. Not for me.
A while ago I was in Tesco and this handwash was 85p. So I put my Freddo back and put this in my basket instead because I am trying to lose weight. And it was 15p cheaper than a Freddo anyway it is really ridiculous how expensive Freddos are getting these days!
The hand wash is in a pump dispenser and you have to twist it to get it active so it doesn't leak! The contents is a bright orange and it soaps up well with water. I have never washed my hands without water so i don't know what it would be like without water as well!
The consistency is a bit too runny but that is ok. A bit too much comes out all at once though.
The smell is the selling point and it really does smell like orange and chocolate. It reminds me of Christmas and receiving Terry's chocolate oranges. To be honest i am not sure why I bought this (aside from the price) because I hate the smell and taste of chocolate orange, Terry can keep it!
Anyway the bottle says it kills 99.9% of bacteria and it is cheap as chips (Not as Freddos!) so that's good enough for me. Will be looking for the coca cola one in future though!
Carex is a nice brand and I have bought this hand wash a few times mainly because my grandchildren like it a lot. I also like it and it is worth the price. We tend to use liquid washes and hand soaps in our home and like to just pick up soaps on offer or ones we like a lot. This is one of our favourites.
It comes housed in a clear plastic bottle and it has a pump dispenser. The wash is an orange colour and a thick liquid which is rich and quite soft. It has a nice orange smell to it and smells of chocolate which also has a sweet smell to it. The orange smell is quite strong. The smell of this wash does help encourage my younger grandchildren to wash their hands after using the toilet because they love the smell of it and like to use it. They always wash their hands after using the toilet but the smell of this wash just encourages them more to wash them without having to prompt them.
Just one or two pumps is enough to lather on the hands well indeed and the few pumps is enough to foam well on the hands. It smells really nice while washing them and has lots of bubbles. Feels a creamy wash too on the skin, also soft and smooth.
It removes any dirt or grease from the hands really well indeed. My hands are sometimes quite greasy and dirty when I arrive home and I always wash my hands before sitting down for my dinner. The wash removes grease from my hands extremely well indeed without having to use a lot of the wash. Sometimes when they are really oily from doing any DIY jobs in my garage I do have to wash my hands twice but this happens no matter which wash I use but this wash removes the oil good enough.
My grandchildren's hands can be quite messy after eating their munchies at my home and their treats. The wash removes any sticky foods from their hands really well indeed and it removes them without them having to wash their hands twice to remove it.
Even though it has lots of foam and bubbles it is really easy to rinse it from the skin and doesn't take a long time at all. Takes seconds to rinse it so you don't need to use a lot of water.
After drying the hands it leaves a nice chocolate orange smell on the skin and doesn't dry the skin. My grandchildren's hands are really soft after using this wash and my skin too. No rashes have occurred on our skins so this wash is worth buying for my families skin.
It kills 99.9% of bacteria on the skin and although we are never completely sure if this is true I do think it removes bacteria well indeed and as much as it possibly could remove the bacteria.
It is a good price and I paid only £1 for a 250ml bottle and for this price this product is worth it. Not only for the way it washes hands but also for the smell of it which is really worth the price too.
This wash is a product I recommend to others, I will buy it again because it is a favourite wash for washing hands in my house. If my grandchildren enjoy washing their hands with this wash it is a bonus and a way of encouraging them to wash their hands regularly.
I rate it 5 stars.
To be honest I was a bit dubious about this when I first saw it. We have tried the other new flavours such as strawberry laces but I was a bit worried about smelling of chocolate but we as a family are converts!
We always have a hand wash at the bathroom sink and kitchen sink so thought we'd try it first at the kitchen sink before deciding if it was worthy of a place in the bathroom :)
Like all carex hand wash it comes in a handy pump action bottle which always works well. Some of the cheaper supermarket brands I find the pump action often doesn't work which is very annoying. But this always does. I find Carex ones are good for the skin too and don't leave my skin too dry like some of the other brands. They leave my skin feeling soft and moisturised.
Anyway it smells divine, just the right balance of chocolate with a bit of orange so it doesn't make your hands smell totally of melted chocolate. The dispenser puts out just the right amount of liquid for hand washing, not too much or little so the bottle lasts a while. We are a family of four and a bottle lasts around a week or two.
It would be better if they made these bottles in different sizes so you could have a family sized one but I suppose it wouldn't fit so well on the sink then. At the moment they seem to be on offer in all good retailers either half price at around 85p or bogof so its worth giving it a try especially if you are a chocolate orange fan, get the smell without the calories :)
I was in Tesco yesterday with my wife and they had this on offer. 86p which is a great deal to start off with. I hid the label and removed the top and asked my wife to sniff it, her first reaction was "Wow that smells really nice. What is it?". I said "Chocolate orange" to which she said "I thought so, that smells really nice". To be honest with her, she isn't wrong (for once :))
This out of all three (cola bottles, strawberry laces) really smells the best and does smell exactly like a chocolate orange does.
The makers are Cussons who produce Imperial Leather and the Original Source shower gels/hand washes. So they have a knack for adding great smells to their products.
It comes in a 250ml bottle with pump action nozzle. The contents looks bright orange in colour. When you unscrew the top you can smell the orange more but the smell of it together with chocolate is delish!
The hand wash states that it kills 99.9% of bacteria within seconds. When using it, the smell is great and more over powering than the cola bottles one that I tried. The smell stayed on my hands for longer and once tried, I could still smell the chocolate orange. But its not too sick in smell.
It is a great way to encourage kids to wash their hands, and I think this smell is more for the adults than the kids. So its a great family product.
So out of this and the cola bottles, go with this one is my verdict. A good all-rounder with a nice smell and long lasting.

Antonio Alfonso, Kapitall: Can these World Series sponsors help your portfolio hit a grand slam if advertising boosts revenues? One day away from the World Series and of course there's excitement to see the two best baseball teams of the regular season face off for the championship. The Red Sox and the Cardinals will battle on the field, but some World Series sponsors could also hit home runs this fall. [Read more on Investing in Sports from Kapitall: Football vs. Your Portfolio: 5 Stocks for Fantasy Trading] With the best teams going head to head, the World Series has a good chance of going to seven games. And probably very long games. They generally last about three hours and there are at least 18 breaks throughout the games. That gives Major League Baseball lots of advertising space to sell, and gives advertisers numerous opportunities to market their products. So it's likely the bigger sponsors of the Boston Red Sox and the St. Louis Cardinals will expect a home run of their own during the series. A company like Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD) might not be a surprise when it comes to baseball sponsors. But some other stocks in the mix might catch your eye. Investing ideas We decided to screen World Series sponsors with parameters like cross-sponsorship between both pennant winners, strong earnings per share (EPS) growth for the next year, and high performance this past year. Could these stocks hit home runs for your portfolio after this world series? Bank of America (BAC) is a sponsor of both teams which means billboards and commercials will surely include their brand during the World Series this year. The stock has an EPS growth rate of over 51% for next year, but investors aren't stampeding to it just yet. Recently, mortgage regulators began to look into charging Bank of America $6 billion in relation to sales of bad mortgages. This could hit the company's operating margins more than investors are willing to tolerate. A possible surprise addition into our list is Dunkin' Brands Group (DNKN). The company is a major sponsor of the Boston Red Sox, and with Fenway Park hosting possibly four games this year, Dunkin' Donuts could get a lot of positive exposure. The company has a robust growth strategy and has already posted over 47% gains in 2013. The telecom giant AT&T Inc. (T) is a major Cardinals sponsor. While the stock struggled earlier this year, it has been gaining this past week on news of a major cell tower deal and is on track to break 10% for the year. Plus the company has emphasized a focus on expansion and a recent deal with Tesla (TSLA). And watch out for Coca Cola (KO), which will display its soft drink goodness throughout the baseball championships. The beverage company recently reported earnings that were a bit disconcerting for investors. Competitors seem to have done better at diversifying products, but Coke is still posting some impressive dividends that could benefit investors in the long-term. Rounding out the list of World Series companies for investors to watch is Delta Airlines (DAL). The stock has been helping to prop up markets, rising over 108% year to date. But investors should be cautious of a possible profit taking sometime soon. Earnings came out today before the market opened, and Delta beat the estimates despite some previous warnings from naysayers. So do these World Series sponsors merit a closer look? Or maybe just their advertisements are worth watching?

Scherzer a spectator for crucial set in KC
KANSAS CITY -- With arguably the Tigers' biggest series of the first half underway, ace Max Scherzer finds himself in the unusual role of spectator.
Because Scherzer started the series finale with the Dodgers, the Royals have the good fortune of not having to face him during the four-game series, the final series before the All-Star break.
Scherzer, an All-Star for the second straight year, will watch as Detroit looks to build on its 4 1/2-game lead over Kansas City entering Thursday.
"Oh, it's great. You get a little breather before the All-Star break," Scherzer said, adding, "It's welcomed. Not going to complain about getting a break."
Scherzer said that for the most part, his normal pregame preparation would not differ.
"I'm in the status quo. I'm doing my program the way it always is. I'm coming to the park, getting my work in, lifting, running, doing everything I need to do to prepare like I was going to pitch in five days," Scherzer said. "The only thing that really might change is the throwing aspect."
Whether Scherzer pitches in the Midsummer Classic, and for how long, combined with the fact that the Tigers play a doubleheader on the Saturday after the break complicates matters for manager Brad Ausmus when it comes to setting his post-All-Star Game rotation.
But before Thursday's game, Ausmus indicated that Scherzer would pitch in one of the first two days following the break.
