" Brand: Lynx / Gender: for men / Type: Body Spray / Suitable for: Body "
* Prices may differ from that shown
I'm partial to a nice smelling deodorant, and from all the hype and TV advertising I have eventually gotten round to trying Lynx.
Kills smells......................check
Smells nice check...............check
Babe magnet.........................hold on I'm already a babe magnet, have I really been sucked in by the advertising. No actually once again I only tried this because it was on special offer.
Nice name I like it, it gives off some good vibes man. This little or rather two little 5ml bottle/aerosol's were on offer for 99p so I thought what the heck. The three-inch high twist shut spray bottle in nifty, it fits in the pocket with no problems of unforeseen bulging, I guess this is where the big time becomes a babe magnet, put that in your pocket and the attraction cannot fail.
As with the main Lynx range the bullet comes in various fragrances and the one I got was the dark temptation. It's just a wee bitty sweet for me, but the overall niff is seductive as per TV advert, produces a long lasting deodorant, and indeed satisfies on most counts when it comes to riding oneself of nasty daily work odours.
However at 48.5p per 5ml it isn't exactly great value for money for after a few scoots under the arm the small attractive bottle is empty and I fancy that the larger size might well be better value. For a quick niff fix though these are both handy and effective, and in all honesty a pretty good idea for those who have other more treasured items in their pockets. They are unobtrusive and do a super job. The dark temptation isn't quite for me but since it's for emergency use it's OK I will try out one of the other fragrances since I do think it a good idea to have a small emergency niff kit handy.
If the other bullets compare to the larger Lynx smells then I might only be trying one more bullet, since I do find in the majority that their niffs tend to be a bit sweet and sometimes overpowering, this said they are very good at keeping your own bad niffs at bay.
For 48p you can't really go wrong, they work and do a good job, they even look quite cool and nifty, and their longevity is without question one of the best of all the deodorants I have tried. So I will try another pong, but as for it being a babe magnet I'll stick to the good old Donf18 charm thanks very much.
It took me a while to buy this because I didn't see the point in spending £2 for 2 miniscule deodorants. Especially when you have the option of buying a full can for the same price! None the less I gave in and bought it anyway.
It smells the same as the regular sized cans and this is both a good and a bad thing. It's a positive point because it allows you to layer your scent and not have your smell clash but like I've already mentioned why on earth should you pay the same price for a smaller quantity of the same item? Convenience is the reason why.
It fits very well in your pocket and so it can be kept with you at all times more subtly than the regular sized can. This is helpful if you are out with friends and realise you could use a quick freshen up. So despite the gross price of the product it can be quite handy in uncomfortable situations.
As well as using my normal deodorant I often use a Lynx deodorant body spray for a quick refresh before going out or going to work so when I seen these mini versions on offer I thought they would be handy to keep in my pocket to freshen up when I am out and about.
The Packaging & Can
The outer multi packaging is a black Lynx design card with a blister pack containing 4 X 5ml Lynx bullet miniature cans, each can carries the same Lynx logo and design as a standard can, as I had purchased the Dark Temptation version there was a brown pattern on the can, the top works a little different from the big cans as you have to turn it a quarter turn to open/close it.
My Opinion
The Packaging is easy enough to get into and the mini Lynx cans which are about the size of a AAA battery are the perfect size to slip into your pocket when your off on a night out, the twist and spray system works well and as this is the best brand "male smelly" you know it's going to be good stuff and it is, the only problem is you only get 5ml per can! A quick spray and its all gone just like that! In my opinion there is not even enough in one can for a good spray so it's not very economical.
So the bottom line is, 10 out of 10 for a fantastic idea and 10 out of 10 for a real nice smelly but far to little spray in each can and far to expensive at around 80p a spray/can, I will not be buying these again.

I have always been a man that takes pride in his appearance and even these days at the grand old age of (well old) I still like to look my best and also smell my best.
I have always been a user of decent body sprays and aftershaves and I still have a fair collection of both.
Lynx is the body spray I tend to use most and I use all versions of it as I like them all, my wife saw the advert on the TV for the Lynx bullet sprays, these are essentially a much smaller version of the large spray that are designed to fit inside a gentleman's pocket so he can re-apply throughout the day.
The Lynx advert shows a man spotting a very attractive young lady and reaching for his bullet spray which Lynx call pocket pulling power and giving himself a blast of the spray which turns the young girls head and hey presto jobs done, quite what I am going to pull at my age other than perhaps a muscle, i am not sure but hey you never know your luck LOL.
I have used this spray of course and it does smell and work like any other Lynx but I have to say that I have not and will not be bothering to carry it about with me and spray it on in shops and the likes, I will just use it and make sure my wife doesn't bother with it again.
It is essentially a rip off, two tins containing tiny amounts of Lynx for £1.80, you can get a tin of Lynx for just more than that and it has about ten times as much in it and in Asda you regularly get Lynx large tins cheaper than that when they are on offer so it really is a waste of money in my opinion and if you do want to pull the ladies, then a good long lasting aftershave will do the job or even just stunning good looks like mine!!
The lynx bullets sprays are a fairly new idea from lynx, I think they only came out last year actually and as soon as I saw them I wanted to give them a try, however with them being a bit expensive I hadn't really bought them before, only deciding to by them after going to get supplies to go on holiday with.
These only come in three different scents, these being Dark temptation, Vice and Instinct. My favourite is dark temptation so when I saw a pack of three on sale for just £1.50 I decided to get a couple of packs to take away with me.
The actual bottle themselves are pretty small and compact, you only get 5ml of spray in a bottle, so only enough for about five or six good sprays, so they don't last long really, however they are easy to carry around in your pocket, and when I was on holiday in a hot country they were a god send when out and about and sweating with the feeling that you might be getting a bit smelly.
These are expensive though, usually about a pound per bullet, and they are really small so unless you need something to carry in your pocket, theres really no point in getting them. I still have some left from my holiday which I didn't use, and I will probably save them for something similar, so they are handy at times, but unless I can get them for cheaper again, I probably wont purchase these in a rush.
'Lynx, for the cheap smell of teenage desperation'? This line I heard for a comedy sketch and thought it very appropriate. Because as a whole after being a youngster and only EVER using it and every PE times having the stench of one of the smells of lynx chocking you to death you truly know the irresistible smell the adverts portrayed it as having was extremely incorrect.
I have never found the smells nice and as a result went off them quickly. I did how ever get attracted to the Africa Lynx but that was it. All until I was given this little smell. It is the chocolate smelling one and I truly find it extremely desirable. I really like it and use it every day!
The smell is a body spray which is sweet yet at the same time distinctively for males. It has a smell that makes your mouth kind of water. The best thing though about this smell is that it goes so well with your aftershave also. I have found that the combination of Joop Jump and this chocolaty smell is incredibly and that's not something I would normally say about anything!
The fact that it comes in such a small canister helps to carry it around and is useful for the on the way journey out or back to someone's house and keeps you constantly smelling good.
Slightly disappointed in this product really. My boyfriend brought some lynx bullets before we went on holiday as he had forgotten to bring his full sized lynx spray. Typical!
I think lynx smells great I do not really have a favourite one all I know is I wake up every morning drowning in the smell of the stuff as my boyfriend sprays away!
The lynx bullets come in 3 different varieties Dark temptation, Vice and the other one being Instinct so you do not have a lot of choice and although you can buy them in packs of 3 or 4 you can only buy packs in the same scent which is a bit disappointing really.
The bullets are tiny they only contain 5mls, which is slightly unhelpful. For something you carry around with you it does not last long even women's pocket sprays are larger and cheaper.
The bullet itself is a small black spray bottle which is quiet cute and tiny but really is not worth the money you pay for it!!! One spray and it is gone so you are basically paying around £1 for one spray which is not very useful at all!
When my boyfriend brought the bullets he brought a pack of 4 in dark temptation, we went on holiday for 10 days and all four bottles had been used by the 5th day! Not very good really aye!! All that money and poor results to be fair.
One bottle of 5ml spray will cost you between £1-£1.10 and for a pack of 4 they will cost you between £3-£4 depending where you shop too, so by no means are they cheap, you get better value for money by buying a full can!! And you still get change!
When buying one of these seriously consider what you are using it for and how often you really plan on using it because you could be really disappointed like me and my boyfriend! We will not be buying these again, they are very disappointing!
Lynx Bullet body spray is, in my opinion, a good idea! It's about the coolest thing I've ever held in my pocket and I love the design. They're around a pound each (or £2.93 for a pack of 4 from Boots) so you might think that at that cost they're not worth the money, huh?
You're right, in a sense. 75p for 55ml of lynx deodorant is, to put it lightly, rubbish. But to be honest with you, you're not exactly going to start buying it instead of the bigger cans, are you? I have only ever bought one and I have to say - it lasts surprisingly long if you use it just to top yourself off every now and then. The smell is exactly the same as the larger cans, too.
Overall I'd say if you're going on a special night out and need to keep yourself smelling great - in style - without a massive weight in your pocket then the Lynx bullet is for you. The price is rather high for such a small amount of deodorant however so it's probably best to only buy and use them for special outings. The 4 stars is because the design & smell is exquisite, only let down by the price.
Lynx Bullet Body Spray is an average body spray it runs out very quickly and doesn't produce the best of smells. I found it a COMPLETE waste of money because it is very small. Yes you can fit in your pocket but you will end up buying about 3 for every night out! I think personally it is a waste of money.
The build is very poor and the top breaks easily stopping it from working so you have to be very careful. The design is the best thing about the spray it looks nice and appealing and is small so it can fit in your pocket.
The upside to this Lynx product is that it can fit in any pocket but however do be careful because you can lose them easily and they are not easy to find.
But still I find this no use as you should put deodorant on before you go out and if you take a bag take a proper deodorant in that. Lynx have failed to produce, which is quite rare.
Overall I found this useless and a waste of money.
Lynx Bullets are mini deodorant sprays that are ideal for fitting in your pocket.
These mini sprays allow men to stay smelling sweat free whilst out and about at work or the gym, without the need to carry a large can of Lynx.
Lynx Bullets are conveninently shaped like little bullets so they fit in your pocket. They work by twisting the top of the spray and spraying onto your underarms as normal.
Lynx Bullets are available from Boots, Superdrug, other chemists and independant retailers. Each bullet contains 5mls and are available in packs of 4 which cost £2.93 from Boots or packs of 2 available ar £1.85 from Boots. Boots currently offer 3 types including dark temptation, instinct and twist.
Can i recommend?
I purchased these for my fiance last year as Boots had them reduced to under £1 as Lynx were changing the packaging on the packets of bullets. I liked the design but my fiance wasnt too fussed about them to be honest. He doesnt sweat alot and said that they would probably forget they were in his pocket until they came out the washing machine. He did give them a try though and they do not last long. You get about 4 or 5 sprays out of each one and compared to the fullsize deodorant the price is not good value.
I got one of these in part of a Christmas present. I think they are quite a good idea, but quite expensive for what they are.
These are little Sprays that you can put in your pocket and carry around for a quick freshen up when you are out. The Bullet I got was the Vice smell, which I like anyway.
I have since seen these in the Supermarket and the tiny little thing was selling for £1.20 for 1. I see on this page you can buy them in 2 and 4 packs, but i've not seen those. I guess that would work out more economical through.
This is a thin, slimline spray. My wife likens this to a Vicks Inhaler sized product, and it sort of is, but not so much shaped like 1.
The smell from this is the same as the larger bottle, and I only got 4 decent sprays from this, which isn't that economical.
This is just more one of those gimmicky things. After all men don't tend to carry a bag when they are out (well I guess it depends on the circumstance), but I guess this is designed more if you are out for a night out just to have in your pocket.
It's a good idea due to it being small, and you get a nice freshen up, but obviously I wouldn't use this in the house, as there is no point. I would jsut stick to an average sized one.
I am a man that likes smelling good. I have a range of aftershave etc. I saw these new lynx bullet spray things and figured I would give them a try. It seems like a great idea, a compact deodorant that can be carried with you, but it just seems like a big waste of money.
I have never wasted so much money. These things cost about £3 per pack of 4. Your get hardly any lynx product in the spray. Whilst it does smell very nice its not worth the money. You can buy virtually 2 normal lynx sprays for the same price. I would recommend getting a decent quality aftershave that lasts a long time.
This product could be useful to those of you that suffer from body odour as it is a handy size to carry on your person, especially if you often go clubbing or on the underground, also in the summer months, aeroplanes etc. But unless you really suffer badly I would not waste your money.
The advert tries to say that if you wear this deodorant you will get the woman of your dream...don't waste your money!
On top of all this, it is a massive waste of packaging!!
I can't believe people actually buy into this nonsense. Lynx Bullet Body Spray is a ridiculous fashion accessory. The pressurised can contains about 55ml of deodorant, and the spray cap is actually larger than the container itself. They cost about a quid each and are a total waste of money. They smell exactly like original lynx, apart from the fact that they have a strong after-whiff of rip off about them.
I suppose these would be a decent accessory if you have a problem with body odour or if you're visiting a hot country where you're hoping to meet some attractive, and are allergic to standard anti perspirant. Also another incredibly tenuous plus-point is that the cans are shaped just a little bit like 'Mace' or CS spray which may deter potential muggers.
You're much better off saving your dosh and buying larger cans of Lynx. All Lynx deodorants have an acceptably pleasant and passable fragrance, (despite some of the later ranges like Fever smelling a little bit sweet,) and when bought in bulk, can prove to be good value for money. Nonetheless this stupid cash-in trendy product should definitely be avoided at all costs. Its a total rip and being seen applying it in public makes you look like a tool, despite what the adverts might try to make you think. Not recommended in the slightest.
After seeing the advert for the Lynx bullet sprays, I decided to pick one up at my local supermarket, as they do seem like a cool little gadget to have at first, as the concept is you can carry around a small can of deodorant easily in your pocket or some kind of bag and just quickly spray when needed. I have seen them sold in three different varieties - Dark Temptation, Instinct and Vice. I tried the Dark Temptation one and I paid about £3 for 4 of these bullets, each containing 5ml in each one, so they ran out very quickly.
The adverts for Lynx bullet suggests that the Lynx bullets are quite useful, but in my opinion they really are a waste of money. When you pay £3 for just 20ml of spray altogether, that works out at £15 for 100ml, even less than a normal can of Lynx spray, which is slightly cheaper and you get 150ml of spray. The only time I really need to spray some deodorant is after doing something sporty and need to put some on, so I can easily carry around this in a bag instead. As for just needing them for random moments, if you really are that worried about it then get some larger sized pocketed trousers and carry around a full size can and save wasting loads of money on something that will only last a few days if used frequently.
I only purchased these once, but after that I haven't bought them again just because they are stupidly expensive and there isn't all that much use for them to be honest, when I did use mine they were empty so soon after I had first bought them. Save your money and buy the larger cans instead.
These "bullet" body sprays really pack quite a punch. Just watch that you dont spray it if you are anywhere near anyone, say 10m because these things are very pungent. They are a very good idea, something to carry around for those "just in case" moments. The great thing is, they fit in your pocket, but this comes at a price. These things are only 5ml, so they wont last long. Even so, one spray ought to keep you fresh for an ample amount of time, although i would say get the full size Lynx of your choice as well because by the ml they are more expensive by a long way. The scent range for Lynx Bullet is small at the moment, although if this product proves successful, the people at Lynx may decide to expand it in the future.
Overall this is a sensible product for people on the move who prefer not to carry a bag for their deodourant. However, it is pricey, so i would tend to use the full size versions.

text: Posted November 7, 2013 · Report post I am 18, never really had acne before last year. I used to have a few small pimples on my cheecks but I think stress caused breakouts all over my skin. Now my acne seems more cyst-like and I also have acne scars. My skin was also pretty normal, but now its way too oily. I do not have breakouts anymore but i still do have alot of acne and acne scars, so that's why i'm planning to buy this kit. I have a couple of questions: 1 BP and moistrizuers will make my skin look oily, so I don't want to apply them before school. Can I just stick with the cleanser in the morning then cleanser - BP- moistrizuer at night? 2- How long does it generally take to clear up the skin? 3- Should I continue using the regimen after my skin clears up or should I move on to normal gentle cleansers and moistrizuers? 4- Will the acne scars fade away or do I have to visit a derm. for a laser?

Lesson: Estimate with fractions and mixed numbers
Lesson Objective
Lesson Plan
10 minutes
Daily Math Review (Warm-Up/ Do Now)
Compare using <, >, or =.
5 minutes
Math Vocabulary
Benchmark: a convenient number used to replace fractions that are less than 1.
5 minutes
We can estimate fractions using benchmarks we will focus on three benchmarks, 0, 1, and ½
0: when numerator is small compared to denominator
½ : when the numerator is about half the denominator.
1: when the numerator and the denominator are nearly equal.
Give a few examples of each
15 minutes
Explore (Conceptual Development)
Ex 1: Using benchmarks wit fractions
Estimate 7/8 + 4/9
Have students synthesize steps while we complete the problem
Step 1: use the benchmarks to estimate each fraction.
Step 2: add
1 ½ is the correct estimate
Have students use benchmarks to estimate the following 5/12 + 1/15 and 3/5 – 1/8 independently then review as a class.
Ex 2: Estimating with Mixed numbers:
When using mixed numbers we can make a reasonable estimate by rounding to the nearest whole number.
In one week, Paulo practices by swimming 8 1/5 miles. Allen swims 4 ¾ miles. About how many more miles does Paulo Swim?
Have students synthesize steps as we complete the problem.
Step 1: round each fraction to the nearest whole number (use benchmarks 0 and 1)
Step 2: subtract the whole numbers
Paulo swims about 3 miles farther.]
Have students try the following problem on their own
You buy a pupy that weighs 8 ¼ lb. a month later the puppy weighs 11 7/8 lb. About how much weight did the puppy gain?
Example 3: Estimating products: 2 2/5 ∙ 6 1/10
(very similar to estimating with mixed numbers, you simply estimate to the nearest whole number if the numerator is at least half of the denominator the whole number goes up one if it is not the whole number remains the same)
Have students synthesize steps as we complete the problem
step 1: round each mixed number and rewrite them
step 2: multiply
Have students complete these independently then review them as a class
Estimate 3 5/6 ∙ 5 1/8
Example 4: Estimating with compatible numbers estimate 43 ¼ ÷ 5 7/8
(when dividing we need to find compatible numbers or numbers that are easy to divide)
Have students synthesize steps as we complete the problem
Step 1: round each mixed number and rewrite
Step 2: determine compatible numbers close
Step 3: divide
Have students complete these independently then review them as a class.
Estimate 35 ¾ ÷ 5 11/12
15 minutes
(Guided Practice)
We use these skills when the problem asks us to estimate or tells us it is about some number.
(ask students before each question how we know to estimate or round expect them to reply with it said estimate or about)
Now we will have a race to see who can estimate adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing fractions and mixed numbers the fastest. You have 10 problems when I say go you will flip your paper over and attempt to answer those ten questions. Once finished flip your paper back over and read until I can come check your work. When you are reading I will know you are finished. Those that finish in 10 minutes and are 100% correct will receive a ticket for the raffle.
(worksheet in guided notes)
5 minutes is left to review questions the entire class had difficulty with. Students can explain how they got their answer or the teacher can explain how to get the right answer.
20 minutes
Extend (Independent Practice)
Students will complete 20 more problems independently. When they are finished they should get out their book and read. When the students finish I will check their work. The first two students finished and 90% correct will become the grader and they will grade the other students papers.
5 minutes
(Assessment/ Closure)
Exit slip is attached on guided ntoes.

Owners tee off new chapter in golf course history
Most people familiar with the River Falls Golf Club, 1101 County Road M, would count its yearlong makeover as "extreme."
Hanson Bros. Golf Holdings, LLC, bought the course about a year ago, along with the Hudson Golf Club, both of which are semi-private courses. The company, headed by the Hammond-based Hanson family, began working on improvements last May.
Doug Hanson, RFGC's general manager, said about the noisy construction, "It was hard on some of our members."
But the changes are undeniably significant -- upstairs, downstairs, inside and out.
The main entrance to the building only leads up now. Before it was the only way to access the lower level.
Now people can descend via a new stairway in the pro shop, a new elevator, or via a redone ramp outside the building.
A walk up the newly carpeted and remodeled entrance stairs leads to more open space on either side.
To the right is the ballroom, newly configured to eliminate the nooks and crannies and create more of a "great-room effect."
Hanson said the new owners refurbished the original dance floor after realizing many members feel sentimental about it.
New chandeliers give the ballroom a bright, elegant look. A new audio-visual system with a drop-down projection screen helps create a good space for meetings and conferences.
The ballroom still features floor-to-ceiling windows with a view.
Hanson said the room comfortably accommodates about 270 people but could "squeeze in" as many as 300.
Patrons will notice the difference in the now-bigger main-floor restrooms -- redecorated with new tile, fixtures and equipment. Hanson said the now-gutted kitchen will also be redone.
The pro shop grew to about four times its original size and features all types of golf equipment and officially licensed Badger and Gopher merchandise.
"My dad really likes Badger sports," Hanson smiled.
Doorways in both the pro shop and the ballroom lead into the redone bar. The new owners re-oriented it east instead of south. It sports six, big flat-screen TVs; a granite bar top; new tables, chairs and barstools; a small galley; a cash machine; new beer coolers; and access to the outdoor patio overlooking part of the course.
He said The West Wind Supper Club and River Valley Catering owner Kevin Pechacek is "doing" the food for both the River Falls and Hudson Golf Clubs. Hanson said the family has not decided on a name for the bar.
A large, new L-shaped patio wraps around two sides of the building and features a cedar pergola-style structure over an outdoor grill area. Before, the outdoor area was made of paver bricks, which many club members took home as a keepsake.
Hanson said the lower level looks drastically different, too.
"The downstairs is a warm and inviting space," he said.
The space features expanses of tile in separate bathroom, locker and shower facilities for men and women. Hanson said his brother Brian is a gifted tile artisan.
Each set of facilities includes new showers, toilets and sinks, as well as a large room lined with rows of solid hickory lockers.
Outside the men's area sits a small lounge with overstuffed chairs. A larger lounge sits within the women's restroom and includes a sofa and other furniture. Hanson said the bigger lounge would be an ideal dressing area for a bridal party.
Improvements also include an entirely new heating and air conditioning system, as well as a new roof on the clubhouse plus mechanical, electrical and plumbing improvements.
He says the remodel revealed the building's undeniable and very solid structural integrity.
The current clubhouse was built in the 1960s, followed by an addition in the 1970s and 1980s.
Hit the course
The owners built a new 220-foot by 80-foot maintenance building to replace the old one that measured about 50 feet by 30 feet.
Hanson said after improvements, only the new maintenance building and two cart barns will remain. They will be screened from view using berms and landscaping.
Golfers will pick up carts right next to the first hole, many of them new electric carts, said the general manager. Gravel areas created for construction, will revert to grass.
Hanson said, "We want the aesthetics to be as pleasing to the eye as possible."
He said the driving range overhaul should be completed in 6-8 weeks and will include berms, trees and yardage islands. During the interim, the course will use the old driving range.
Hanson said one of the big complaints new owners heard about the course is how the clay ground would become a "hard pan" after heavy rains. That means when too much water affects the ground, golf balls don't bounce like they should.
So RFGC will install a new irrigation system throughout the course.
Hanson thinks all the improvements should be completed with a few weeks and said, "I think people will be pleasantly surprised."
Iconic history
When asked, Hanson said the company has not yet begun to tally project costs -- mainly because many of the tasks aren't finished yet and because the Hudson and River Falls club improvements were lumped together as one project.
He said the company consists of himself and his three siblings: Brian, Debbie (Delander) and Jon, as well as their dad, Chris.
He said the purchase and improvement of both golf courses has been a team effort among them all.
Hanson said his family "did it" because they have a sincere love of the game and saw a good business opportunity. He said, "no," the family can't guarantee itself or anyone else that both ventures will make money, but it has faith the country will rebound from the deep recession.
He shows an item found during renovations: An original stock certificate signed by former Wisconsin governor Warren Knowles, also once president of the RFGC.
The certificate is numbered "1" and was signed on May 15, 1929.
He said the family is pleased to be involved with something so iconic in the community. They wanted both places to be very nice but not presumptuous or pretentious -- a place where people could relax, play golf, feel at ease and have fun.
"We just feel honored to be the caretakers," he said.

Blogs HNN Nowhere Man: The Islamic World Is At Your CommandMay 5, 2011 8:19 am
Nowhere Man: The Islamic World Is At Your Command
Usama bin Ladin's termination with extreme prejudice by US Navy SEALs—under, to his great credit, President Obama's orders—should hopefully lead to the 9/11 mastermind's memory "becoming a mere spirit of malice that gnaws itself in the shadows, but cannot again grow or take shape" (as Gandalf said of Sauron, post-Ring-destruction, in The Return of the King).
But will it? The Islamic world, unlike Western Christian civilization (or its fictional analog, Middle-earth) , has a long and internally-legitimate tradition of messianic and quasi-messianic figures who appear to die but actually go into ghaybah, or "occultation," only to return later within history to set matters aright—that is, to re-invigorate the Islamic community and to lead it to victory over its enemies, usually via jihad. (Christendom has, of course, the messianic imperative fulfilled in Jesus Christ—but He will return not within history but, rather, above it at its eschatological denouement .) Islam's largest branch, Sunnism, as well as its largest sect, Twelver Shi`ism, both contain traditions and popular beliefs about al-Mahdi, "the rightly-guided one," who will step onto the stage of history at some point and, with the help of the returned Muslim prophet Jesus, create a global caliphate (or, more properly, Mahdiyah) through a combination of soft (persuasion and, some expect, miracles) and hard (violent jihad) power. For mainstream Sunnis the Mahdi has yet to arrive—despite the numerous self-proclaimed mahdis that have plagued Islamic civilization for fourteen centuries, such as 19th century Sudan's Muhammad Ahmad, of Khartoum fame). For Twelver Shi`is the Mahdi has already been here, in the person of the 12th male descendant of Islam's founder through his son-in-law (and cousin) Ali; also named Muhammad this rightful leader of the entire ummah was (like his 11 predecessors) persecuted and driven from power by the perfidious Sunnis, and so retreated into ghaybah in 872 AD/258 AH ["after Hijrah"]—whence he will return ( unlike Jesus Christ in Christianity, well before the cosmic calendar runs out) to Islamize all of humanity. This concept of mystical Mahdist hiding has, at times ,crossed over from Shi`ism into Sunnism, as with the Sunni Mahdist claimant Sayyid Ahmad Barelwi who declared, in 1821 India, a jihad against the British and their Sikh allies and was killed by the latter—but since his body was never recovered, "his supporters transformed the seeming tragedy into a victory by claiming it was merely an occultation and that Sayyid Ahmad would eventually return as the Mahdi" (Furnish, Holiest Wars, p. 42). To further complicate matters Sunni Muslims, in particular, have often in history conflated the Mahdist imperative with that of the mujaddid, a "renewer," said to have been predicted by Muhammad to come every century.
What has any of this to do with Bin Ladin? At least some members of al-Qa`idah [AQ] as far back as 2003 seemed to believe that Usama was the Mahdi. Since the 9/11 attack Youtube videos have been uploaded claiming the same thing. (As well as the contrary: the influential Turkish Mahdist and Creationist Adnan Oktar has decried Bin Ladin as a mutamahdi, or "false mahdi," created by the United States.) Unlike the three men who have declared themselves mahdis in post-US-invasion Iraq (see my chapter on this topic in Political Islam from Muhammad to Ahmadinejad), or the several who have tried to grab the Mahdi's ring in stauchly-Sunni Saudi Arabia over the past few months—hearkening back to the abortive Mahdist uprising led by Juhayman al-Utaybi in Mecca in 1979—Bin Ladin was the only one with a truly global reach and stature sufficient enough to make the creation of a movement centered around belief in him as the Mahdi a very real possibility. Perhaps, like Ayatollah Khomeini, he figured that it was better to keep his mouth shut and be considered the Mahdi by some, rather than to open it and, by claiming the title, to remove all doubt that he was, in fact, not.
Popularizers of Mahdism such as the fiction writer Joel Rosenberg (author of The Twelfth Imam) and his friend, TV and radio personality Glenn Beck—as well as more sober analysts, such as Michael Ledeen—obsess about the dangers of Iranian Twelver Shi`i Mahdism. While Iran, especially if armed with nuclear weapons, is certainly a threat to the region, the thesis that the Islamic Republic's leadership aims to "hotwire the apocalypse" by a nuclear assault on Israel in order to cause Allah to send back the 12th Imam is a misreading of Shi`i theology (as I pointed out in this paper for the Institute for Near East and Gulf Military Analysis). In sum, Shi`i teachings are that while the world will be going to hell in an infidel's handbasket before the Mahdi returns, Muslims are not called upon to raise that hell; and even if they could or did, such an attempt to force Allah's hand would be hubristic folly. Furthermore, while it is true that Mahdist expectations are high in Iran today, and that the vilayet-i faqih system of clerical rule established by Khomeini offically exists only until such time as the 12th Imam returns, the last thing the clerical establishment in Qom and Tehran would do is to recognize any living human being as the returned Mahdi and thus bring their power and wealth to a crashing end as the Mahdi takes over and redistributes their rials to the undeserving masses, a la Michael Moore. So barring some supernaturally-assisted Mahdist claimant—as in Rosenberg's evangelical Christian take, wherein the 12th Imam shows up in Iran with clear diabolical support from Satan—Shi`ite Iran is perhaps the last place an open Mahdist bid would be launched.
However, as history indicates, most Mahdist leaders and movements have arisen in the Sunni world, for two major reasons: the frequent lack, in certain times and places (medieval North Africa; 19th c. Ottoman Sudan; etc.) of a pervasive and consistent clerical bureaucracywith enough institutional power to rule against mutamahdis and make it stick; and the fact that any self-styled Sunni Mahdi does not have to emerge from occultation in Jamkaran, Iran. Also, the aformentioned concept of hotwiring the apocalypse does exist in Sunni Islam today, among at least some of the jihadist groups—which is why AQ and its affiliated groups have always been a much greater threat to use WMDs against us or Israel than Iran.
So to return to the topic which began this Mahdist discussion: now that Usama bin Ladin is (ostensibly) rotting in Davy Jones' locker, Arabian Ocean division, apocalyptic Sunni Mahdism has been washed out to sea—right? Not necessarily. The Obama Administration's attempts to make a virtue out of the alleged necessity of interring him in a salty sepulchre (no Muslim country's willingness to bury UBL in its soil, coupled with Washington's unwillingness to see his tomb become a jihadist shrine), reinforced by its refusal to release the photos of the dead jihadist leader, have assured that many in the world's second-largest religion will doubt, if not outright deny, that he is dead. Bin Ladin will very likely become another Sayyid Ahmad Barelwi, whose mystical , mythical power and stature will grow yearly and whose return will be come to be expected at any time. After all, Saddam Hussein is now believed by some Iraqis to be alive or to have never died, based on phone calls from him to his former supporters. And Bin Ladin had and has far more Islamic legitimacy than Saddam ever did.
So what? Does it matter if some (nutty, conspiracy-steeped) Muslims 1) refuse to believe UBL is dead, and 2) hope for his return? Yes, if these Bin Ladinists fight on against "Crusaders and Zionists" in the name of Imam bin Ladin and draw strength from the lack of a body. Barelwi's followers fought on against the British in his Mahdist name for decades after his "occulatation" in 1821—and they couldn't even envision getting their hands on weapons powerful enough to spark the apocalypse, as AQ members can at least aspire to today. One can even imagine Bin Ladinists deciding that detonation of a nuclear weapon, or some commensurate man-caused disaster, is just what the Doctor (al-Zawahiri) ordered to persuade Allah to send (back) Usama al-Mahdi. President Obama's decision to make Usama a real nowhere man thus, ironically, puts at least some of the Islamic world at Bin Ladin's command.

When it comes to the MEN FASHION, it is really important to go through the basic things you should avoid to look good. Remember, looking good is not an easy job always, it needs precautions from some things that can make you look disastrous though. Fashion is all about giving yourself a great style which attracts the people in your surroundings, so, if you have a command over the basics things of fashion, that would help to keep yourself satisfied with the look you are adopting and make you LOOK GOOD in yourself. It's essential for you to be aware of certain basic things that you should avoid in order to look good!
Things you should avoid to look good:
- Not to wear loose clothes:
Wearing those clothes that doesn't fit you properly is the biggest MISTAKE IN MEN FASHION and necessary to avoid wearing over sized clothes, try to wear perfectly tailored clothes whatever you are going to wear, it makes your body hang in a free size outfit. Best fitted attire will enhance your look and make you look good.
- Wearing dirty shoes:
Never think of wearing shoes that are dirty in a hurry, a good man will always keep this area clean with proper care of his stuff. Overlook your stuff and keep it free of dirt.

It won't be a good option to tuck in your t-shirt in the pants, if it is a dress shirt it looks good but if it is a t-shirt just stop there and avoid to tuck-in the t-shirts in your pants as it would look odd, if your shirt is quite big then it might be so large for you. You should resize your shirt either or exchange that immediately.
- Keeping Dirty nails:
It might be look like an unusual or un-necessary thing but plays a big role while you are ready to look good, while you lift any weight or picking some kind of stuff and nails look dirty and scratched won't be so impressive, it's better to avoid keeping your nails dirty, keep them clean so that your personality will reflect clean.

SALT LAKE CITY — A two-story house here was destroyed in a fire early Sunday.Comment on this story
Salt Lake City firefighters were called to 2941 S. Hudson Cir. (1160 East) about 2:40 a.m. They arrived to find heavy smoke and flames coming from the structure, said Salt Lake fire spokesman Jasen Asay.
The homeowner was able to get out of his house safely. He went to a neighbor's house to call 911. His wife was not at home at the time of the incident.
The cause of the fire remained under investigation Sunday but was believed to have started near the front of the house near the kitchen area, Asay said. Damage was estimated at $250,000. The home was considered a total loss.

WASHINGTON (AP) - George W. Bush heads into the waning days of the presidential campaign with the advantage of more voter enthusiasm and growing comfort among voters with his qualifications for the job and his judgment, a new poll indicates.
Al Gore is favored on most top issues, which has been the case for the past couple of months, but the vice president's campaign staff has been trying this week to make the case that Republican Bush is unqualified to be president after just six years as governor of Texas.
The poll, released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, suggests voters are growing less convinced by that argument.
Voters in the survey were split on who would be most likely to use good judgment in a crisis, after favoring Gore on that measure in September. Gore led by 7 points, 45-38, in the new poll on the question of who is more qualified to be president. In early October, Gore had an 18-point lead on that question. Gore was seen as more of a typical politician by a 2-1 margin, a quality he and Bush were tied on in September.
Bush had a 47-43 edge over Gore in the Pew poll, the first time since July that he's had the advantage in a Pew survey.
Bush has a lead in several other national polls, while others remain very close. The state-by-state battle for the 270 electoral votes needed to win the presidency remains very competitive.
''Over the month of October, people became more comfortable in personal terms with Bush his likability, his truthfulness and his judgment,'' said Andrew Kohut, director of the Pew Research Center. ''He even narrowed the qualifications gap, which is still there. It remains the single thing that swing voters most worry about when it comes to whether they'll vote for the governor.''
The Pew poll suggested Bush supporters are behind him more strongly than Gore supporters back the Democrat. And Bush backers were less likely to change their vote.
About one in five voters either haven't decided or could still change their vote, the poll suggested.
Bush made progress in the last month among seniors, white Catholics, middle-to-higher income voters and those in union households.
The poll of 1,508 registered voters taken Oct. 25-29 has an error margin of 3 percentage points, and the subgroup of 1,062 likely voters has an error margin of 3.5 percentage points.
Gore is given the nod on issues like Social Security, health care and the economy and has a slight edge on education and handling foreign affairs. Bush is favored on reducing partisan bickering and handling military defense.
Growing public acceptance of Bush as someone who has good judgment and is qualified to be president could be an important development in the campaign if the trend continues.
''There are some signs that the Democrats remain less enthusiastic about Gore,'' Kohut said. ''As many as a fourth of Democrats expect a Bush victory - twice as many as the number of Democrats who felt that way two weeks ago.''
When voters in the poll were asked who they think will be elected president, 48 percent said Bush and 38 percent said Gore.
Several national polls have indicated a gradual drift toward Bush, but some analysts hold firm to their long-held belief that the strong economy and other factors will benefit Gore on Election Day.
''I actually think Gore will win this election,'' said Thomas Mann, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, a Washington think tank. ''If I had to bet on what someone tells me from a poll, or from what I see in the economy and the country more broadly, I would bet on the latter.''

Please critique my three week itinerary
I'd like to travel for three weeks sometime from late March to early April - I can be somewhat flexible on the exact dates. I get the feeling that I might be spending too much time in Tokyo and Kyoto.What do you think? Should I add some additional nearby destinations, such as Kamakura or Takayma?
First let me share some personal details to help you better put my proposed itinerary in context.
27-year old white male US citizen Will be flying out of San Diego $2000 USD budget (Plus I've got 100,000 rewards points through my Chase Amazon visa, which at the very least I can exchange at a 100:$1 ratio, or I can exchange for various travel perks. Probably going to use this to buy the flight.) Is this budget at all realistic? That gives me about $100 per day. I'm fine with Ramen, Udon, okonomiyaki, etc., and I don't need a luxurious accommodations by any means, but I'd like something more than a bunk bed. Should I increase the budget to $2500? To give you an idea of my experience level, the only international travel I've done before is 5 weeks throughout Europe several years ago. My favorite things to do are visit temples/churches/shrines, visit museums, eat the local cuisine, see breathtaking vistas that can only be seen in a particular destination, and get exposed to the culture
And now for the itinerary:
Days 1 - 4: Fly from San Diego to Tokyo (leave early am on Saturday morning, arrive Sunday afternoon, so the first two days are basically travel days), spend time in and around Tokyo
Thanks for your advice!
Hi there,
I've done my fair share of budget travel in Japan and traveling on 100USD/day should not be too hard. There are basically four main points that require budget. 1.) Accommodation. 2.) Food and drink. 3.) Transport. 4.) Sightseeing.
To start with 1.) Accommodation, when planned well, this does not have to cost a lot in Japan. There's a business culture of traveling within the country and staying short term for single travelers. Business hotels can be found for 4,000yen a night (think a little less than 40USD). I have found that these are more than comfortable and offer all basic amenities a traveler. Hostels are generally also very good in Japan, expect clean rooms and helpful staff but staying at a hostel generally means sharing a room. This is not a bad thing, as you meet new friends and have a much more social environment. Hostels start at about 2,000yen and go up to 3,000yen depending on room type and location.
Transport or 2.) is possible on a budget in Japan too but can also be very expansive. The railway system is the best in the world but it is also normal to buy a 100+USD ticket for a one way Tokyo - Kyoto. There are two types of trains in Japan, local services and high speed ltd. express trains, which also include the bullet trains. Local trains only require a basic fare for distance traveled, while high speed ltd. express trains also include a fare for high speed and comfort, they generally cost about double the price for the same distance on a local service. Looking at your itinerary I would recommend using a Shinkansen from Tokyo - Nagoya (about 10,000yen) but you could use local services to travel from Nagoya to Kyoto to save some money.
3.) Food and drinks, Japan is brilliant when it comes to food. You can eat for a day starting at around 10 USD but can easily make it 1,000USD if you feel like it. There are numerous Japanese chains that serve low cost food. Most notably gyudon stands such as Yoshinoya and Sukiya. Where you can have a bowl of rice with sliced beef on top for as little as 250yen. Other great local food such as Japanese curry, Ramen, Okonomiya can be had starting at around 700yen. Also nice to check out are department store basements, these are generally filled with all kinds of good and Sushi Bento boxes can be found starting at around 500yen.
4.) Sightseeing, Japan has a lot of sightseeing spots. Many are free and you can easily fill a whole holiday without spending money on any entrance. At the same time, the more famous temples, castles, and so on do charge entrance fees. Anywhere from 200 to 1000+yen. Knowing what the entrance fee is beforehand can help you decide what to include and what not.
Looking further at your itinerary, I don't see any problems with it. I would recommend making a plan beforehand on how to visit Fuji and look at transport options. This because there are many areas around Fuji to visit and all kinds of transport that can be used. Also learn about budget travel from Asakusa, Tokyo to Nikko. This can be 1,360 on local trains, while using the Shinkansen can cost more than 5,000yen for one way.
Koya-san can cost about 10,000yen for a nights stay but does include dinner and breakfast.
Hope this helps as a quick introduction and let me know if you have any questions.

CUMMING, Ga. — Four cars parked at a home in the 1700 block of Bristol Trail were found with tires slashed, according to a Forsyth County Sheriff's incident report.
A man told deputies April 14 he was staying at his son's while the son was out of town.
He said sometime overnight someone cut the tires on all the cars in the driveway along with the tire of a bicycle in the front yard and another bicycle on the back patio.
The man said he is unaware of anyone who might be angry with him, his son or his son's children.
Deputies searched the rest of the neighborhood to see if other cars had cut tires, but none was found.

[Updated March 25] Despite plans for Sunday's Kids' Fishing Day to go on rain or shine, the Fishing Club announced early Sunday that the event was being canceled due to rain and will be held Sunday, April 1.
The club asked that people not fish in the area that has been stocked, to preserve the fish for the event.
The earlier story:
With rain predicted for the weekend, Cosumnes River Little League has canceled Saturday's Opening Day ceremonies -- the second cancellation. The trout went into Lake Clementia Thursday, so the Kiwanis Kids' Fishing Day will go on as scheduled Sunday, rain or shine, event chair Joe Mazzoni Sr. said Friday.
Fishing Day starts at 9 a.m. and all participants must check in at Lake Clementia.
The Little League parade and ceremonies will happen sometime after spring break, with the exact date to be announced. As of Friday, all games were scheduled to be played on Saturday, but CRLL President Josh Goard advised players and parents to check the CRLL web site and their email for updates.
Kiwanis Kids' Fishing Day is an annual event co-sponsored by the Rancho Murieta Fishing Club and the California Department of Fish and Game. It provides lessons on the importance of good water quality, maintaining habitat for fish, fishing ethics, the care of fish caught, and instruction on casting and fishing under the leadership of Fish and Game personnel and assistance of members of the Fishing Club. Trout are planted in the lake to give the fledgling anglers the chance to catch their limit.
Attendance is limited to the first 120 children from the Rancho Murieta, Sloughhouse and Wilton community to sign up for the event at Rancho Murieta Business Center in the Plaza, where registration began earlier this month.
A free barbeque lunch will be provided to the kids and their parents at 11 a.m. by the Sexton family, owners of Plaza Foods.

The life and work of Saint Anthony

Superb. One can see his influence upon the spirit of St. Francis de Sales, St. Vincent de Paul and Bl. Frederic Ozanam.

- Greg said...
Special meaning flows from Benedict's sweet words for me... as St.Francis and St. Bonaventure, whose lives St. Anthony touched, are the inspiration for Taming the Wolf, my attempt to bring the legacy of Francis to the world of conflict resolution.
- 13 June, 2010 22:10
Does anyone know where to buy St. Anthony's books? I cannot seem to find either of the ones the Pope mentioned.
- 14 June, 2010 05:10
Is it not a bit of unintentional irony that these two sentences, although from two different paragraphs, follow each other?
In my Encyclical Caritas in Veritate I recall: "The economy needs ethics in order to function correctly not any ethics whatsoever, but an ethics which is
people-centred" (n. 45).
Anthony, in the school of Francis, always put Christ at the centre of his life and thinking, of his action and of his preaching. This is another characteristic feature of Franciscan theology: Christocentrism.
- 14 June, 2010 08:31
I think that in referring to man-centered ethics, the Holy Father is just making the usual point that economics must be in the service of man. Properly understood, this is not at odds with the social kingship of Christ, but rather a corollary of the social kingship.
But if you want irony, let me offer you a different passage from the Holy Father's address:
"Not only the Nativity, a central point of Christ's love for humanity, but also the vision of the Crucified One inspired in Anthony thoughts of gratitude to God and esteem for the dignity of the human person, so that all believers and non-believers might find in the Crucified One and in his image a life-enriching meaning."
- 14 June, 2010 15:41
Dear Mar,
Yes, this irony occurred to me as well. That the Holy Father, meaning of course to present traditional Catholic economic morality to the world, missed an opportunity to do so in a most Christocentric way, to use his term. However, before the sedevacantists who frequent this blog site and love to jump on every imperfection of his to claim that he has lapsed into heresy, we see clearly that his intention is precisely to impart a Catholic morality to economics by drawing the world away from monetary profits to an attitude of charity towards one's neighbour. Which is the first step towards a morality that draws men to design their economics towards an attitude of subservience to God.
And frankly, lest the sedevacantists clamor again, look at the latest blog where the Holy Father talks about the Church's duty to use the rod to stamp heresy out of homiletics and monsters in priest's clothing out of the ministry.
He most certainly displays a very traditional and truly Catholic heart and none of the most obtuse would claim otherwise.
Sincerely, MKT
- 14 June, 2010 16:14
"look at the latest blog where the Holy Father talks about the Church's duty to use the rod to stamp heresy out of homiletics and monsters in priest's clothing out of the ministry."
So why he's just talking instead of using it?
- 14 June, 2010 16:40
I am unaware of any "sedevacantists" who frequent this site.
Or is this how you refer to those so obtuse as to doubt the Pope's traditional heart?
As regards the Holy Father's remarks on rods and heretics, I note that the bearer of the rod is "the Church."
This is true as far as it goes; but as you know, neither you nor I has the authority to (for example) banish Father Hans Kueng to a mountaintop monastery under perpetual silence.
That is the job of those with the appropriate authority.
Those with the appropriate authority are the Pope, and certain others who directly or indirectly report to the Pope.
But there's no mention of them in the Pope's address.
So it all seems, well, rather abstract and theoretical.
Then, too, the Holy Father was not known as a hammer of the heretics in his many years as the head of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.
But perhaps thing will now change.
Perhaps the change will come soon after he celebrates his first public Mass in the extraordinary form of the single Latin rite.
- 14 June, 2010 19:41
MKT said: "However, before the sedevacantists who frequent this blog site and love to jump on every imperfection of his to claim that he has lapsed into heresy,.."
I know of ONE sedevacantist who OCCASIONALLY comments on this blog, but even he does not "love to jump on every imperfection" and "claim" that the pope has lapsed into heresy! How could he? Sedevacantist do no believe we have a pope!! Duhh.
MKT, your accusation is way off and totally unfounded.

Have a coyote head mount I did about a year ago it was liqua tanned.according to the fact sheet it says the tan can not be washed out,with that being said could I just submerg the head in a bucket of water till it softined up then strip and re mount.
Return to Tanning Category Menu
Can be done, but be prepared to work your nuts off if you used Epo-Grip hide paste
used AAA supply super hide paste,container doesn't say to much,looks and smells like a heavier/thicker version of every day white glue.
set up your resoak like you would a rehydration bath,(salt and bactericide) do not over soak just enough to make the hide pliable enough to work off the form. If a hide is tanned properly it should not "wash" out. Why does it need to be remounted after only a year? Marc R
Not happy with the muzzle,I guess I could just soak the muzzle,untuck then retuck the lips and fix up the nose. Thanks

New hurdles for autonomous vehicles
0 comments post a comment
If racing improves the breed, then announcement of DARPA's urban-environment Grand Challenge is good news for robotics and autonomous vehicle technology--and aging Baby Boomers.
If racing improves the breed, then the announcement from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of its third Grand Challenge is good news for robotics and autonomous vehicle technology development.
The agency's Urban Challenge (sounds sort of like an American Idol competition for soul singers) will require autonomous vehicles to function in a city-like traffic setting for 60 miles, in less than six hours. The contest will simulate military vehicle operations for proposed use in combat situations. The event takes place late in 2007 at a site to be determined.
This is great news for all techies who followed last year's DARPA robot race across the desert. But the even better news is that the resulting technologies should see impact in the auto industry to help maintain mobility for a population skewed with aging Baby Boomers who value their independent lifestyle.

The president may be getting to a point where he can no longer deny the obvious about the economy and his failed policies. At today's House financial services committee hearing to discuss the annual Financial Stability Oversight Council report, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner admitted, "The economy is not growing fast enough. Unemployment is very high. Huge amount of damage left in the housing market."
Last week, at a Senate Banking Committee hearing, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke also expressed hesitation about the state of the economy, saying that progress in reducing unemployment is likely to be "frustratingly slow." Bernanke further stated that the Federal Open Market Committee is considering the possibility of an additional stimulus, in an attempt to drop the unemployment rate below 8 percent.
Obama can't keep saying one thing in public while the public feels something different, and his nominees have to tell mostly the truth in front of Congress. Given that recent polling shows voters have more trust and goodwill in Obama than they do in Romney (49 percent to 35 percent), but that Obama lags Romney on the question of who can best handle the economy (36 percent to 43 percent), perhaps the president is calculating how to best play the hand he has been dealt. If his ego will let him, perhaps Obama will offer an apology for being wrong about the economy, and ask for forgiveness and another chance.
Anyway, Bernanke and Geithner's testimony make the president's political position more untenable. At some point, Obama has to acknowledge the obvious — that his economic policies have failed — and to express that he is willing to try something new. His best hope in November is for some forgiveness and that voters will be patient with him. No one is going to vote for more of the same.
