About Us
A new Program we are working closely with Adopt A Pet called REHOME.
WELCOME to our NWAL Herding (Shetland Sheepdog) Dog Rescue website. We hope you all will find it interesting and helpful especially if you are looking for a sweet Sheltie to adopt, need to find a home for your Sheltie or would just love to read about Shelties and why they are so loved. We will be updating our site often, so keep checking back in, go to www.sheltierescue-nwal.org and visit us on Facebook to LIKE our page....
As of January 1, 2017, NWAL Herding Dog Rescue will now be a long- term foster homes and Rescues for Shelties.. We will still be rescuing Shelties in AL and WV, on a smaller scale, but not taking in so many in WV. Our foster homes are still available for taking in Shelties. Our Director, Karen Bordonaro, is semi retired and has many Shelties presently that are unadoptable and she is working with them to make them adoptable. This is for our WV location only. Once the Shelties are available for adoption, she will take new ones in on a limited basis. due to the semi-retiring of our Director, Karen Bordonaro . However, we have arranged with several of the surrounding states to WV to take in Shelties that we have been contacted about that need our assistance until we are available in WV. Thank you all for being there for all the Shelties.
We still have forever foster homes operating in Alabama, Kentucky, and South Carolina and Ohio. All fostered dogs are located in wonderful homes with a fenced yard and considered part of the family.
However, we still have lots of beautiful doggies for you to look at in their long term foster homes. Please check out our other websites for past dogs that we have adopted and more information on Shelties.

We rescue homeless and abandoned Shetland Sheepdogs (Shelties), and mixes thereof and rehome them to loving, responsible and approved forever homes. Founded in 2003 in the State of Alabama, now located in Alabama, we take in approximately 200-250 Shelties, and mixes thereof, no matter the age or problem, each year.

As with any responsible rescue, we are committed to our animals for life. If for any reason the relationship with your adopted Sheltie, or mix is not working, or if your situation changes and you are unable to keep or care for this adopted dog anymore, we have an unconditional return policy. Do not take this rescue to a brick and mortar shelter facility, please call us to arrange to have your adopted dog transported back to any of our foster homes that is closest to you.
We are located in Summers County of Alderson, WV, Alabama, Kentucky, Ohio and South Carolina. Please call before coming to make an appointment and for directions.

The two learn that a troubled teen with a dark past has recently moved to town and has set his sights on the cop's beautiful, young daughter. Father Henry, who turns out to have secrets of his own, finds himself pitted against a demonic force more diabolically evil and twisted than any of them could have imagined.

Sports fans love their nostalgia. They live for throwback jerseys, urban myths and reruns of classic games, complete with heroes of long ago. If their team relocates, changes its name or folds entirely, they may even shed tears. A team's name and look can build just as many memories as its on-field performance. And it can stir an equal, if not wider, backlash.
Just ask members of the Oneida Nation, whose campaign against the Washington Redskins' nickname remains vibrant. Since September, they curated radio ads demanding the team change its name, which they call hurtful to American Indians. And on Wednesday, Oneida representative Ray Halbritter urged National Football League executives Adolpho Birch, Jeff Pash and Paul Hicks that condemning the current name would promote racial tolerance. The 90-minute meeting, held inside New York's Proskauer building, yielded no immediate policy shifts. But those set on a change insist they will soon get their way.
"This is the beginning of the process," Oneida spokesman Joel Barkin said. "It's clear that they don't see how this is not a unifying term. They don't have a complete appreciation for the breadth of opposition of Native Americans to this mascot and name."
The NFL also issued a statement following the closed-door session. "We listened and respectfully discussed the views of Mr. Halbritter, Oneida Nation Wolf Clan Representative Keller George and their colleagues as well as the sharply differing views of many other Native Americans and fans in general," the release said. "The meeting was part of an ongoing dialogue to facilitate listening and learning."
American Indian mascots spread across the national sports domain. Over a half-dozen professional teams have nicknames that reference American Indians. But what parts the Washington football team's case from the rest is its history. The team's fight song, "Hail to the Redskins," derives from a Confederate battle hymn. In 1961, when all other NFL teams were integrated, then-owner George Preston Marshall said, "We'll start signing Negroes when the Harlem Globetrotters start signing whites." Had Interior Secretary Stewart Udall and Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy not threatened to evict Marshall's team from the federally funded D.C. Stadium, the club would have likely remained segregated for years.
League Commissioner Roger Goodell, whose travel plans kept him from Wednesday's meeting, has expressed interest in facilitating the nickname debate on his own, without government intervention. But he stresses that a team's owner — in the Redskins' case, the outspoken Daniel Snyder — ultimately decides when a new name is appropriate.
Snyder didn't attend Wednesday's discussion either. By most indications, he remains unwilling to rename the team he bought nearly 15 years ago. He told USA Today last May, "We'll never change the name. It's that simple. NEVER — you can use caps." And in a letter to fans in October, he wrote, "After 81 years, the team name 'Redskins' continues to hold the memories and meaning of where we came from, who we are, and who we want to be in the years to come."
Halbritter's two-page letter to Goodell, sent in lieu of the commissioner's absence, shows that he cares little of Snyder's view. The Oneida leader's message encourages the league to amend protocol and rename the Redskins, even if Snyder objects. "As Commissioner," Halbritter wrote, "you have exercised your authority to act pursuant to this provision under circumstances that are far less egregious than the use of a racial epithet as a team's name, including imposition of sanctions for salary cap violations, prohibitions of on-field celebrations that do not reflect well on the game and punishing off-field misconduct by team officials." The letter also asks Goodell to hold a forum with all 32 NFL owners during the upcoming Super Bowl week to discuss the nickname's future.
Regardless of if Goodell takes Halbritter's advice, the future of the Redskins' name may rely on funding. So far, neither sponsors, nor broadcasters have announced plans to cut ties with the team. Even if they did, the club's $373 million in annual revenue and $1.6 billion price sticker offer legitimate clout against critics.
John Banzhaf, a law professor at George Washington University, believes money will direct the team's next moves. He told Washington ABC affiliate WJLA, "In the end it will be economic pressure — whether it's trademark or stations not being able to use the name on the air — that I think will force them to see the light."
Activists, meanwhile, will keep shunning the Redskins' name and its display. In Minneapolis, demonstrators are planning a November 7 rally from the American Indian Movement's national office to the Metrodome, where Washington's team will face the Minnesota Vikings that day. The protest will likely address uses of the team name in the media and in sporting venues.
Many of those who endorse a name change insist that they, too, appreciate sports lore. But when controversy surrounds a piece of athletic history, they'd rather build a more tolerant future.

CIA says Castro has Parkinson's disease - Yahoo! News
Fidel Castro's major contribution to his people... Buddy boy subsidised rice cookers for the people of his country; those of whom couldn't afford neither the rice, nor the cookers (AT THE REDUCED PRICE!!!)
So who do you figure it's going to worry too much (that matters) that he has a debilitating disease that will "warrant questions among U.S. policymakers about the communist country's future in the next several years?"
Somehow I think this might fall beneath China's and North Korea's international exposure radar by just a hair.

One of the best things about having a kitchen dedicated to the production of local seasonal cuisine, is a menu that is constantly rejuvenated with new items throughout the year. If you hadn't noticed, we launched a new menu last week. The most significant change is the markedly expanded entrée options. Hearty favorites like our homemade Spätzle and Bowl of Red are back on to warm the soul (chicken soup has had it's day in the sun, let it rest in peace). We're showcasing our local organic meat providers with three classic dinner dishes: Pot Roast made with 44 Farms underblade, a Legend Meats sourced Pork Chop, and Roast Chicken from Holmes Farms.
If you look elsewhere on the menu you'll notice we've made other appetizing additions. Fried Gulf Oysters are set to become major players in the coming months, and the Czar Salad is our take on the always classic caesar salad. Even some of our perennial favorites have undergone renovation. For example: the grilled cheese sandwich is now prepared on fluffy, buttery pullman loaf slices.
Come explore our new menu and let us know how you like it.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - The U.S. chief economist for Standard & Poor's Global Ratings said on Tuesday that Republicans in Congress were likely to push through a modest tax cut ahead of midterm elections next year.
"We do think that the Republicans will come up with a modest tax cut, similar to what we saw under the second Bush administration," Beth Ann Bovino told a capital markets conference in Tel Aviv.
Bovino also said she expects the U.S. Federal Reserve to raise interest rates 25 basis points on Wednesday. A quarter percentage point rise would be the second nudge upwards this year following a similar move in March.
She also said she expects "stress tests could be softened a bit" for banks, in line with a U.S. Treasury Department plan unveiled on Monday to reduce restrictions that big banks face in their trading operations and ease their annual stress tests.

NEW YORK, Nov 1 (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve provided $3.586 billion of liquidity to foreign central banks in the latest week via its swap lines for foreign central banks, the New York Federal Reserve Bank said on Thursday.
The European Central Bank tapped the total amount in the week ended Oct. 31, at seven days and 0.65 percent.
The Federal Reserve has established swap arrangements with the Bank of Canada, the Bank of England, the European Central Bank, the Swiss National Bank and the Bank of Japan in an effort to respond to the re-emergence of strains in short-term funding markets in Europe.

SQL does NOT use or want double quote marks as shown above.
SQL can require single quote marks.
Where SQL wants/expects single quote marks I concatentate into the string CHR(39); such as ...
v_where_clause := 'WHERE P_KEY = ' || CHR(39) || 'ABC' || CHR(39);
After this statement execute v_where_clause contains:

With winter just really starting for our southern state, it's a great chance to get out and experience something different that will warm your soul. Date night? Retreat with the girlfriends? Just need to relax? Head to a vineyard. Here are three of my favorite local options:
Up first is a personal favorite of mine: Dennis Vineyards, located in Albemarle, N.C., is just 30 to 45 minutes outside of Charlotte. Try a glass of their delicious spiced wintry wines— or, if you happen upon a warmer day, grab a sweet muscadine wine slushy—and sit outside on the patio that overlooks rolling hills and their sparkling pond. It's the ideal spot for you and your friends to unwind and imbibe.
If it's a cooler day, they have made a nice spot inside with games to play that are perfect for sitting and sipping and full of small-town charm. And every so often, there's a painting party, so be on the lookout or call ahead.
For those looking for a family friendly option, Dennis Vineyards also offers non-alcoholic grape slushies and treats for the under-21 crowd.
Located in Troutman, N.C., about 45 minutes from Uptown, Daveste Vineyards stole my heart the moment I visited. This vineyard offers an elegant aesthetic, and features a relaxing waterfall. On a chilly day, stay indoors in the heated area, with seating overlooking the natural beauty.
On a warmer day, grab a rocking chair on the porch or find a spot near the waterfall and with relax with a glass of wine and a picnic basket full of whatever treats you fancy bringing along. If you prefer to wander, the property also features tons of open land and paths. This option is the perfect getaway to disconnect, imbibe and relax.

Anna Duggar is all annoyed with her mother-in-law, Michelle Duggar who has uploaded on the family website a post that clearly hints that Anna should not have deprived husband, Josh Duggar sexual pleasure. Josh Duggar who has in his teenage molested girls, is lately cheating on his wife with two porn stars.
On Oct. 8, 2015, the 49-year old Michelle, a mother of nineteen children put it in her blog post her views that clearly make readers link Josh's infidelity to Anna's inability to satisfy him sexually. After reading the post the readers were able to conclude that it was Anna who was not giving her husband, Josh enough sex and which has encouraged him to look for gratification outside marriage. Michelle puts the whole blame on Anna for Josh's adultery.
According to Hollywood Life, Anna is very upset with the blames. She says that Michelle should admit that her son has some serious problem and needs help, rather than blaming her for everything. In the blog post, Michelle highlighted that it's imperative for women to keep their husbands sexually satisfied.
Michelle Duggar wrote that anyone can iron a husband's clothes, "but you are the only one who can meet that special need" for intimacy. So, the wives should always remember that their husbands need them. Michelle's sex advice for women is that even if they are pregnant, exhausted or in no mood, they should always be happily available for their husbands anywhere.
"She (Anna) feels like Josh's parents are in so much denial about their son that they would rather blame Anna for their failed relationship." the source said.
The source told that Anna Duggar thinks his parents should have taken efforts to get right treatment for their son when they discovered that he has molested his own sisters. Anna also said that she was always available for Josh even when she was all tired.

Unanswered: Data Access Page Pivot Table Problem
I created a Pivot Table Form based on a query. It works absolutely perfectly. I have Users defined as the row criteria, AgeRange defined as the column criteria, Count of Orders defined as the data criteria, and Status defined as the filter criteria (in the upper left corner).
This works beautifully as a form.
However... it needs to be published to our intranet, so I did a Save > As > Data Access Page. This produces a page that's equally as beautiful to look at and works just as well EXCEPT that the Filter criteria are not all present in the DAP view of this Form.
In other words, in the Form version of the pivot table, the available Status criteria are "Ready," "Not Ready," and "All."
The DAP omits the "Ready" criteria and only shows the other two.
This is terribly maddening as it nullifies the usefulness of this tool.
Does anyone have any idea why it would be doing this, and/or what I should do to overcome it? All tips most gratefully welcomed. Thank you!

Well, I still have no clue why the DAP screwed up but I managed to fix it.
The filter criteria was assigned in the query using an IIF statement: IIF(StatusFlag=R,"Ready","Not Ready").
For some mysterious, cosmic reason, Access "did not like this." So, I whipped together a table so it could get these values via a JOIN, and bada bing, bada boom, it works.
These data access pages really suck when the users aren't using XP, by the way. They have to download Office Components from microsoft.com just to be able to view them -- there's no interactivity at all unless they're on XP. Lots of good that does us!

Found in North Africa and the Middle East, its name says it all. Although its stinger is not particularly large or strong, a sting from this, the most toxic scorpion in the world, causes unbearable pain, fever, coma, convulsions, paralysis and death.
So be careful and warn your self whenever you may see this creature. Remember the poison it had. Actually scorpions are really scary and it is good to be well-informed to their characteristic.

If you have a pulse and the Internet, you're probably aware that Donald Trump is running for President of the United States right now. He's causing a lot of drama, and actually doing a pretty good job of picking up support in the form of voters.
He's a great businessman and a lot of people think he'd do a good job as POTUS in the White House. However, he's known for firing people on his old reality show, The Apprentice and in 2008 MMA fighter Tito Ortiz was one of those who fell victim to The Donald's "You're fired".
We should never forget that collectively, ever.

Keep your head up, Tito. You can still be an entrepreneur and do your thing. Don't fret.

If I'm not mistaken, Fortree isn't on the little Towns of Hoenn thing at the bottom of the different place's things for some reason... Shouldn't that be fixed? I don't mean on this page, I mean on things like the Mossdeep page.surskitty 20:41, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Water and land?
Is it just me, or is Hoenn split into a water area and a land area on a diagonal? It could be a reference to the nature of the Ruby and Sapphire games, with land and water being equally important...maybe? Well, that's just my observation... Maki 23:36, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
Isn't Hoenn the only region not to end in the O sound (Kanto, Johto, and Sinnoh)? ShinyPiKa 01:32, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- Orre, Fiore, Almia, and Pokétopia don't end in an O sound either. --Shiningpikablu252 01:39, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- A better rephrasing would be "Hoenn is the only region in the main series games not to end with an 'O' sound." But the Sevii ISlands kinda get rid of that...Θρtιmαtum♏Talk|Links01:42 17 Aug 2008
Then it should be "Hoenn is the only main region in the main series games not to end with an 'O' sound." Main region=Non-side story area.--KukiTalk 01:52, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- That works. TTEchidna 07:01, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
- Err, actually, it doesn't. See, the Sevii Islands (or rather, the first three), are required to advance the plot, as after you beat Blaine, Bill comes to you, and takes you to the Sevii Islands, which you then talk to Celio, and you explore the Island a bit, then you go to Two Island, and lastly, you go to three Island, where you save it from the Kanto Bikers Guild (How they got to the Island with their bikes is beyond me.), and you also rescue the Sevii Island Game Corner owner's Daughter from the Rogue hypno, and then you return to Cinnabar, and then you go to pallet town, and the game picks up where it left off. So, the Sevii Islands, or at least the first three Islands, is considered a main region. Weedle Mchairybug 09:35, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
What I meant...
"it's also the only region so far not to feature any new cross-generation evolutions."
Ok, I should have worded this differently. I meant it's far the only that doesn't have any that's the EVOLVED form of a Pokémon from previous generation. I believe this can go into the article, as long as it has the appropriate wording. Azurill and Wynaut aren't evolved, they're pre-evolutions. What do you think? TheBlazikenMaster 22:37, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
But they evolve into Generation II Pokémon, crossing the border--KukiTalk 22:45, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
- You're right, but my point is there are no new Pokémon that are evolved form of previous Pokémon. You know what? Just forget it. It's not important anyway, I'm fine with it not being mentioned. After all, Wynaut and Azurill still count, as they are pre-evolved, and can evolve. TheBlazikenMaster 22:50, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
Should we add that Hoenn is the only Region where Ash did not have a rival ? Pokemon94 18:36, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- Tyson, Morrison; they don't qualify as rivals? --ケンジのガール 18:46, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- No , I mean A Rival that Appears on Many Episodes instead of Few Episodes . Gary =Kanto and Johto . Paul= Sinnoh
Hoenn=??? Pokemon94 21:14, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- Orange Islands=????? It's not that notable really. He still had them, they just didn't appear as frequently. — THE TROM — 21:15, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- Gary stopped being Ash,s Rival In the end of Johto . Ash had no rivals that Appeared Frequently in Hoenn Pokemon94 21:22, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
- And he had no rivals that appeared at all in the Orange Islands. It's an unimportant piece of trivia that doesn't actually relate to the region, but more to Ash, the rivals or the season articles. — THE TROM — 22:04, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
Gen IV Region Map
Hey there. It just occured to me that once the main map for Kanto gets ripped from HGSS, all regions will have generation IV maps, apart from poor old Hoenn. Should I make a DP style Hoenn map? --Cadellin 14:11, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Krusche's original compositions are primarily based upon cyclic hybrid Latin-mid-tempo swing, bump and grind type measures and intervals, which provides a solid framework for expansive melodies and an abundance of strong soloing. Throughout, the saxophonist and Payton compliment one another via Krusche's warm tone and Payton's lustrous, yet at times brawny lines which is evident on spirited pieces such as "Southern Belles" and "Phoenix". With "I'd Like To Sing", Payton and Krusche emit joyous proclamations amid lilting themes, striking melodies and an overall purposeful mode of execution. The piece titled "Bad Breakfast" boasts Victor Atkins' sweeping McCoy Tyner-ish piano introduction followed by Krusche's silky smooth choruses. Essentially, Friendship Pagoda comes as a welcome surprise! One that is marked by tuneful compositions and impassioned dialogue. Recommended.

My doctor called today and told me that my biopsy results show no signs of cancer!! I was at work and cried like a baby. Hats off to a clever coworker who knew I was waiting on the results and thought to ask me "Is it good?". At that moment all I could do beyond crying was shake my head YES!! She yelled for me..then the whole office joined her cheers. What a wonderful day. I knew that knowledge would feel good but I had no idea that is would feel this good. I'm so blessed.
So grateful for the healing power of my heavenly Father and thankful for His guidance to the doctors and nurses taking care of me along the way.
God Bless everyone. Much love,

Don't own or use it but Une Rose smells nicer at least on my wife.
Hi all you rose lovers!
Which one do you prefer and why?
Don't own or use it but Une Rose smells nicer at least on my wife.
A friend of mine has both and I smelled them on her, and would have to say I like the Malle better. However, I think that she prefers the Lutens more! :-)
Different creatures, in my book. For me, I'd compare:
Une Rose - Rose de Nuit ( dark, serious rose )
Lipstick Rose - Sa Majeste La Rose ( fun, light-hearted rose )
I come down on the side of Sa Majeste ( I'm not fond of Une ), but I far prefer Lutens' Rose de Nuit.
Sa Majesté la Rose by a long shot. Opens with a blast of citronella which soon gives way to reveal a dewy, fresh, live rose which has excellent longevity. A favourite of Uncle Serge's, apparently.
Une Rose, by contrast, has a dank, earthy, funky fungal note that I just cannot get past. No thanks.
I love rose perfumes in general but Sa Majesté La Rose didn't work for me at all. There is some note in it that spoils it for me-- cumin perhaps?
Two summers ago I bought Une Rose. I was so impressed with its realism and tenacity. It also has a great deal of sillage. However, it turns out that I am one of the unlucky ones that get a urinous note during the drydown, and I like the top/middle notes better than the base notes, which are dark. I solved this by spraying it onto an aromatherapy-type locket rather than on skin. This makes it evolve more slowly. My husband has used my bottle and doesn't have the same problem I do with the drydown-- he loves the dark note and wishes there was more of it on his skin! Too bad we can't swap skins LOL.
I would like to recommend another rose perfume for you to try: Azzaro Acteur. An excellent rose scent for men at a very reasonable price.
If you have Une Rose , you dont need any other rose frags in your collection
As a lover of rose perfumes as well I have both these fragrances.
SL Sa Majeste is wonderful and I find the longevity better. But I don't know why, but for me it can be very confusing in the first hour or two.
No such problem with Une Rose .......I find it stunning from start to it's lingering sunset.
Une Rose is my favorite fragrance ....and if I had to name my top ten favorites I would struggle there are so many I love. But Une Rose, without blinking would be my desert island fragrance!
'When asked what dowry the spartan girl was providing to the noble spartan warrior marrying her, the poor girl said: "my fathers common sense" '.
They are different enough to warrant a wardrobe space each. Sa Majeste La Rose is dewy, more floral. Une Rose is a touch woodier, with a drier, earthier feel. I prefer the Lutens.
To be fair to the Lutens I've only tested it once and I basically remember it being a "cute" pink "feminine" rose scent. I need to re-test it.
I love the Malle however, it's a wonderful, big rose scent. It's linear nature is the one thing that stops it from being FBW for me. I keep looking for some sort of interesting transition or subtlety that never comes.
I love rose fragrances but I still haven't found the one.
I have bottles of both perfumes thanks to my gifts to myself (my family gave me Gucci Sport...go figure!), and wore Une Rose yesterday. I was blown away by the longevity (given that this is my perennial problem), and also by how linear it is. I described it as being within a rosebud at dusk. I detected a lot of acetone, but then again, I detect a lot of acetone in real roses, so it was authentic.
I will open Sa Majeste tomorrow and compare.
Today I'm opting for C&S Dark Roses.
I tried Portrait of a Lady at Aedes when I was in NY over the holidays and found it to be more complex than Une Rose, if that makes any sense.
Thanks for your feedback. When I'm in Dubai next month, I'll have to pick up Diptyque's new Eau Rose which, according to what I read on other post, seems to be just up my alley.
They said it'd be available at the boutique in Dubai mall by the 15th of January.
Just yesterday I made my wife to smell Dark Roses and asked her what it reminded her of. She exclaimed mekhamariya. Which is a blend of saffron and roses. We were surprised a British perfume house would know it and more impotently execute it so well.
I'm detecting a longevity problem with Dark Rose. I used a couple of sprays this morning, not only on skin but on the back of my tie and my undershirt, and it's already basically vanished, and it's only been two hours.
I'm wondering whether I need to go very light on the trigger, as with Montale's Black Aoud. Maybe the oud/rose combination pushes me into olfactory fatigue.
I'll have to look at mekhamariya. I remember seeing this blend, or something similar, at Ajmal.
Thanks for the info on the Diptyque shop in Dubai Mall. I'll probably go at the end of February, so I should be sure to find it.
Exactly what Sugandaraja said!
For me, SL Sa Majeste La Rose. Very much a soliflore, IMO, and great for layering with a bit of rose.
"The sunset is deeper and longer. The scent of the jasmine is stronger." Miracles. Pet Shop Boys
"Thick dome of jasmine
(Under the dense canopy where the white jasmine),
Blends with the rose,
(That blends with the rose),"
"The Flower Duet," Lakme by Leo Delibes, 1881
I prefer "Une rose", it's earthy and have a fungal note as ghandajala stated, but to my nose it's still a clean (as all the Malles) and balanced rose. I haven't found the perfect realistic rose perfume (expect maybe "la rose jacqueminot" in her original formula).
SMLR doesn't work at all on my skin, i tested it a few times and being to feel nauseous each time
Une Rose - although I prefer others more (Rose 31, Black Aoud)
I know that (obviously) the Serge Lutens is a rose based scent but i find it far too heavy with roses and it's cloying even sprayed sparingly.
Definitely Sa Majeste la Rose. It is like catnip to me, I adore it.
Une Rose on the other hand smells really fake and plasticy to me.
...for rose I prefer Noir Épices...!

Someone needs to put this into production!!!!!
Do they make one with a loader on the front?
Slap a company logo on it and it would be great for marketing, parades and stuff.
That"s Awesome.
"Deere Chopper"... needs a better deck though, doesn't have the 7iron.
Call OCC on that one and see how they can mock it up!

What does your garden look like right now? Is it drab and dreary? It need not be. A walk around the neighborhood will reveal quite a few plants that are their most attractive in midwinter.
Nandina (nandina domestica) is an old Southern favorite often referred to as ''Heavenly Bamboo.'' These have been displaying dramatic drupes of red berries since late November. The berries will remain until spring in the garden. They may be harvested and treated as cut flowers for indoor enjoyment. New dwarf varieties such as "Fire Power" and "Gulf Stream" are smaller than their relatives and grown for red winter foliage instead of berries. There are varieties with yellow- and cream-colored berries also.
Stuart Cofer, host of Athens' own radio garden show and proprietor of Cofer's Home and Garden Showplace said ''All nandinas prefer full sun and well-drained soil. 'Plum Passion' is a new variety that has purple growth in the spring and summer. 'Gulf Stream' is a fairly new variety that is very compact, growing to 3 feet and turns red in the winter. Fine examples of both can be seen at the State Botanical Garden at the entrance to the glass conservatory.''
The low yellow shrub seen blooming on banks is probably not forsythia, though that may begin as early as February. Forsythia forms a shrub with long fronds that grow up and out. Winter Jasmine (jasminum nudiflorum) blooms earlier still. The blossoms are very similar to those of forsythia but its habit is lower. It is often used to retain dirt banks where it is spectacular in December through March depending upon weather and the specific variety.
Cofer likes winter jasmine because, ''It's a great old fashioned plant. Some of its best traits are the low mounding habit (2 feet tall and 3 feet wide), bright yellow flowers, no disease or pest problems and best of all, no maintenance required.'' Winter jasmine does best in full sun.
Camellias are another winter performer. More than 3,000 varieties exist and many will do well and flower throughout southern winters. Cofer's offers 50-100 varieties because they are so popular and do so well in our area. Other garden centers also find them to be best sellers. Camellias need different conditions from those required by nandinas and winter jasmine. Cofer explained, ''Camellias prefer filtered shade year-round so under tall pines or the shade of a house is ideal. Afternoon sun at any time is a no-no. They prefer well-drained soil so add a product like Mr. Natural Woodland Mix when planting.''
For nooks and crannies or those who garden on a smaller scale, some of the hardy bulbs bloom very early. In mild winters such as 2001-02 has proven so far, narcissus in protected places may bloom well before spring.
The Southern Living Garden Book suggests that the following shrubs and vines also be considered for winter display: flowering quince (chaenomeles), leatherleaf mahonia (mahonia bealei), senna (cassia), winter daphne (daphne odora), winter hazel (corylopsis), wintersweet (chimonanthus praecox), witch hazel (hamamelis), flame vine (pyrotegia venusta), Lenten rose (helleborus orientalis, sweet viburnum (viburnum odoratissimum. Most of these should be available locally. Picadilly Farms in Bishop specializes in hellebores and hosts a hellebore day in late winter each year.
So, good news: you need not wait for better temperatures to improve your winter vista.
Stuart Cofer explained, ''Now is a great time to plant any tree, shrub or perennial because in the Athens area we do not have to worry about cold weather. One- to 20 degrees is nothing compared to the northern temperatures where a lot of the same plants are grown. But we do have to worry about the hot humid and dry summers. The great thing about planning in wintertime is that you do not sweat when working and after you water the plants in after planting, Mother Nature will do the rest. Have fun in the yard and garden in January and February as it really is a great time to plant!''

Designing Indian philanthropy for impact
Charitable donation levels in India fall below the global average, according to several studies. Many attempts are being made to increase philanthropy in the country. They range from retail marketing efforts and outreach to high-net-worth-donor circles to, most significantly, a bill recently approved by Parliament that requires companies to contribute 2 percent of their profits toward corporate-social-responsibility programs.
In parallel, recent dialogue on the impact of philanthropy has focused mainly on improving program execution and measuring results. In between these two steps ("how much to give" and "how to ensure quality execution") we see a critical step: making choices on "where" and "how" to give, which we call "designing for impact."
With respect to where and how to give, our research on the Indian philanthropy market identified two important issues. First, donors provide disproportionate funding to a limited number of popular causes, while many other critical needs attract limited support. We found that around 90 percent of Indian donor contributions are concentrated in fewer than ten sectors,1 including primary education, primary health care, and disaster relief. To be sure, these are also among the top sectors supported globally. In more developed philanthropic markets, however, we find somewhat greater breadth of funding. In some cases, we also find more complementarity between government and philanthropic spending with respect to the sectors covered.
Second, Indian donors tend to prefer direct interventions designed to help beneficiaries immediately, as opposed to more indirect interventions that seek to build organizational capacity at scale. In the educational sector, for example, a more direct intervention would be funding a local school. A more indirect intervention would be establishing a training institution for teachers or helping government education agencies improve their monitoring and data-collection programs.
In our interviews with leading Indian donors and experts in the philanthropy sector, we found widespread agreement that both direct and indirect interventions deserve support. Donors and experts also agreed that the choice between direct and indirect interention should be based on the nature of the gap in each sector. Yet as we classify philanthropic interventions in the Indian market on a "most direct" to "most indirect" spectrum, we find a disproportionate focus on the direct-intervention modes, leading to significant gaps with respect to critical indirect modes.
This article, based on a recent McKinsey study, provides a starting view of the most critical funding gaps in India's philanthropic landscape as well as the nature of the prevailing gaps in different sectors. We have developed a simple demand-supply rating system that donors can use to both identify underserved sectors and define the nature of the gap in each sector. Our research also suggests that Indian donors should consider increasing their support for indirect, capacity-building programs that can generate broader impact for the rupee. While our findings are specific to India, a similar approach is likely to be relevant for philanthropists in other markets.
India has a long tradition of philanthropic giving, with all religions promoting the concept of charity. Until the 1800s, giving in India was largely religious in nature and motivated by the search for individual salvation. Later, philanthropy also began to be directed toward social causes such as education and women's rights. Throughout the 20th century, leading Indian industrialists established foundations and other charitable institutions of national importance (for example, the Indian Institute of Science, catalyzed by the Tata Group), some of which were partly inspired by the country's freedom movement.
And yet, the Indian philanthropy market continues to suffer from critical funding gaps. These gaps can be divided into three main categories according to our demand/supply rating framework. So-called quantity gaps exist when demand for a service is high while supply is low. Leading examples include malnutrition, water, and rural infrastructure. Quality gaps occur when supply and demand are reasonably well matched, yet the quality of outcomes remains low. In India, primary health care and primary education are both good examples of quality gaps.
Niche gaps, finally, happen when overall demand for the service is relatively low because the affected population is small or the intensity of resources needed to address the issue is limited. In India, notable niche gaps include judicial reform and special-needs education.
It is important that donors understand the nature of the prevailing gap in the given sector (quantity, quality, or niche gap). This will help determine the type of intervention that is most likely to be effective. We advise donors to explore a wide canvas of issues before committing support to any particular cause. Donors should go well beyond their personal experience, and consider using a demand-supply rating system to identify promising sectors.
Filling quantity gaps
When addressing quantity gaps, one option is to help solve the problem in a small geography through a direct intervention. Another option is to work with the government to address the problem at scale by providing relevant advocacy and implementation support. A third option is supporting innovations that reduce the cost or resource intensity of the solution. One example of the latter option is the Gates Foundation's recent efforts to promote low-cost technologies in areas such as agriculture and electricity generation, both globally and in India.
However, the majority of donors participating in sectors with quantity gaps typically play only the first role of trying to solve the problem in a small geography through a direct intervention. A common assumption is that if multiple donors address the same problem in different geographies, the problem can be solved for the entire country. This is typically not a realistic approach to filling quantity gaps.
Filling quality gaps
In some sectors, supply is not an issue but the quality of service falls short. For example, India has a large primary health-care network in place that receives significant government funding. However, there are significant quality gaps with respect to crucial parameters such as speed of response to emergency cases. Donors can address quality gaps by partnering with government or other providers to enhance the quality of the current supply, at scale. Appropriate donor roles include capability-building initiatives that squarely target quality.
In India, the Emergency Management Research Institute (EMRI) is a prominent example of donor interventions designed to fill quality gaps. Donor funds pay for technology support and management-skills development at EMRI, which leverages the government's primary health-care infrastructure along with funds from the National Rural Health Mission.
In the case of quality gaps, it is, of course, crucial for donors to ensure that their interventions enhance service quality significantly. A direct intervention that serves as a model and resource for the system could also be relevant. However, a common pitfall is donors supporting the addition of average-quality supply into the mix, which may be of limited value.
Filling niche gaps
Certain sectors of the philanthropy market feature low overall demand. Examples include conservation of traditional arts and crafts, rehabilitation of criminals/prisoners, and special-needs education. In some cases demand is low because the affected population is small. In other cases the resource intensity required to address the problem is small. And sometimes the type of need is simply in the "emerging" category. They are relevant causes nevertheless. In these cases there are often opportunities for a relatively large donor (or group of donors) to address the problem at scale through direct interventions.
Philanthropy in India is heavily weighted toward direct approaches such as providing commodities, building infrastructure, or directly running operations. Our research found that such "direct to beneficiaries" interventions receive around 60 percent of donor contributions. Service interventions such as teacher training received another 25 percent of all contributions, leaving only 15 percent for more indirect approaches.
Interventions that involve working with the institutions that serve beneficiaries at scale account for about 12 percent of this last 15 percent. They include capacity building in government systems, supporting entrepreneurs and making markets work, and driving public-private-partnership models. The most indirect interventions—those designed to optimize policies or frameworks governing institutions that serve beneficiaries—receive only about 3 percent of total donor support.
In our interviews, an overwhelming majority (90 percent) of donors and experts believed that both direct and indirect interventions are important for the overall transformation of a sector. Many respondents also agreed that the choice of intervention mode is highly dependent on the nature of the gap in a particular sector or subsector.
In addition, the choice of intervention depends on the donor's "theory of change" for the given sector. For example, the donor might believe that the government should provide a particular service and needs support in terms of quality or other aspects. In this case, a complementary intervention could be supporting government-capacity building. Another theory of change might be that entrepreneurs will provide the service with consumers paying for it at scale. Here, an appropriate intervention could be providing seed funding for entrepreneurs.
Top donor reasons for not focusing on more indirect modes of intervention include lack of measurability, insufficient visibility or association of name, concern about "taking on the system," few examples of success, and lack of relevant knowledge and research. These are all valid concerns. We nonetheless recommend that Indian donors at least double their commitment to more indirect interventions that can drive larger scale, sustainable change, to between 30 and 40 percent of their portfolios from the current average level of 15 percent.
One useful strategy is to pair indirect interventions with direct programs that can be used to test or refine specific elements. In all cases, direct interventions will ideally serve as models or experimental beds that generate learnings and resources for more indirect interventions. Finally, whether the intervention is more direct or more indirect, it's important to build in relevant success factors early. For more direct interventions, these include measurement, scalability, specialization, and the ability to grasp opportunities to evolve toward indirect programs that can scale up. For more indirect interventions, success factors include early measurement through input-outcome linkage, scale at low cost, and clarity on relative roles.
The rise of indirect interventions
As donors, foundations, and operating charities evolve in India, there has been a significant shift toward indirect interventions. We find compelling examples of this evolution in the education and health-care sectors.
The Azim Premji Foundation has focused on improving the quality and equity of rural education in India since 2001. The foundation started with a mix of supporting and system capability-building interventions. These included implementing activity-based learning methods by providing teacher coaches in some districts of Karnataka. At a system level, the foundation supported capacity-building interventions at District Institutes of Education and Training in several states, worked with a state government to establish an assessment mechanism for schools, and so on.
Based on what it learned from work on the ground, the foundation is now largely focused on solidifying and strengthening its indirect interventions. These include setting up a university that aims to provide leaders and experts in education and development, launching district institutes that can build the capability of the government school system more deeply, and developing assessment and accreditation mechanisms for the broader system. At the same time, the Azim Premji Foundation has added a select direct intervention to the mix by building its own schools to serve as models and resource hubs.
In the public-health sector, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation began work in India in 2003 with Avahan, its anti-AIDS program. Initially, the foundation focused mainly on direct interventions in health care, with support from select indirect interventions such as building HIV/AIDS awareness. The Avahan HIV prevention program is now overseen by the Indian government, a welcome transition that took place over time. Meanwhile, the foundation has started supporting more indirect capability-building programs such as technical training in direct skills and provision of job aid, along with concurrent monitoring and data systems.
The foundation also tries to keep increasing the influence and capacity of its indirect interventions. For example, a particular training program might be run by a nongovernmental organization (NGO) initially. However, the program would then be handed off to a government agency, with the NGO or Gates Foundation playing a supervisory role. Two years from now, the foundation aspires to devote 70 percent of its focus to indirect interventions, with direct interventions serving only as pilot projects.
We have four thoughts that may help donors make effective choices on "where" and "how" to give. We advise donors to explore a wide range of sectors to start, going well beyond personal experience. Donors should also form a clear view on the nature of the funding gap (quantity, niche, or quality gap). Identifying the gap will suggest the most effective type of intervention.
Having identified the sector they wish to address and the prevailing gap in that sector, donors should apply their own "theory of change" to the problem at hand. Over time, we advise Indian donors to ensure that at least 30 to 40 percent of their portfolios are dedicated to more indirect interventions that can drive larger scale, more sustainable change. Finally, irrespective of the type of intervention, donors should build in relevant success factors early.
Given that these recommendations suggest a systematic approach to making decisions about where and how to give, they are not only relevant for donors in India. They can also apply to donors elsewhere in the world, in both emerging and developed markets.
About the Demand-Supply Rating Framework
We analyzed more than 50 subsectors as part of this effort. This framework uses six demand-side factors and three supply-side factors. The demand factors include percentage of unaddressed population, level of quality or outcomes vis-à-vis global benchmarks, type of need (that is, how basic), a view of whether the market could work automatically, magnitude of resource needed (based on size of population to be addressed and resource intensity), and number of operating entities (therefore causing demand). The supply factors include total current spend by government per annum, total current spend by donors per annum, and diversity or stability of spend. Each subsector was rated on each parameter using a rating scale of 1 to 4, leading to a total demand score and a total supply score.

Hello Guys,
could you please for the next release create a *.pot file from where the whole site could be translated.
Currently some of the texts are not bind and a manual translation must be done directly within the php file. Which is not very nice.
thanks in advance
The latest version of the po file can be found here: http://www.mediafire.com/?bx8ea3a810p68pb – it contains all translatable strings and you can use it to update your po file (Poedit does not only accept pot files but po too…).

ReviewI was looking to buy a crossover SUV like a Nissan Murrano but when I found the Maxx I looked no more! I get the feel of a crossover with the fuel economy of a car and the safety of not having having the roll over risk! I thought my son would love the moon roof in the back but in fact he loved the console in the back seat and the many cup holders! I bought this as a used rental car and it was very well taken car of.
Best FeaturesI love the features in the steering wheel. I used to drive a 4 door truck and so I love the new found gas mileage and the parking is excellent! I can back into any parking spot that I want with ease! I also love the remote start and use it almost everytime!
Worst FeaturesIf the seats were to fold up to be up against the front seats and the moon roof was standard in the front also. An MP3 outlet would be nice too. I loved the pictures I seen of the DVD player and would love to be able to buy those after market.

There is always the selection of buying pre built sheds if building your own shed is not for you. Basically, most of people do not have much time or skill to make their own pre built storage shed, so there are a couple of kits which are available whether you want to have plastic, metal or pre built wood sheds.
You do not have a couple of options for customization when you purchase a shed
It is easy to find pre built sheds for sale if you know the right spot where to look. The most comfortable option is Amazon because you can search a couple of stuffs from your home comfortably and read a couple of other shed owners have to say about any style of brand in which you are interested. You can also find your stuff on Amazon by size, brand, purpose and price. The second place that you can browse to get a couple of things about pre built sheds is eBay.
If you want to have a big pre built wood sheds and the money is not your problem, you can check out the Lifetime 15 feet by 8 feet garden shed or the Arrow VT 1231 garden shed. These sheds have a couple of features and range from $1,400 to $2,400. The Suncast 12 X 20 brings you a large and stylish pre built storage shed which can double as work space and storage which is perfect for a working environment.
Meanwhile, if you are the kind of person who wants to see products first before you buying them, it is perfect for you to check your local home improvement store. You can check out Lowes, Home Depot, Menards or Sears if you live in United States of America or you can go to B&Q and HomeBase if you stay in United Kingdom in order to look at pre built wood sheds. Every store has its own unique products and supplies, you have to make a trip down to your local store in order to find out what shed is available in your local area.
Once you know what you want and how much money that you want to spend, you will find the proper garden pre built wood sheds easily. The most important trick to find the right shed for you is to shop around and you can check out a couple of real customer reviews.

text: UPI has reported that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has launched a $1.2b plan to deploy more advanced radiological screening devices at U.S. ports. By 2011, the DHS expects to have 1,400 of the next-generation screeners deployed at both ports and border crossings. The first 80 machines are scheduled to be installed this fall at the New York Container Terminal in Staten Island, N.Y., Global Security Newswire reported Monday The new detectors will range in cost from $350,000 to about $500,000 each, compared to the $180,000 for those currently employed. Officials, however, expect that the more-expensive systems will reduce the number of containers flagged for more-complete inspections each year from 821,000 to 15,000, the report said. The DHS also announced a plan to deploy the new devices in and around U.S. cities, and Oxford said work on a $3 million pilot deployment program has begun in New York City, GSN said.
