Comments On Jul 24, 2013:Happened upon this jacket at the right time. I have an ICON Ti Max jacket I have been wearing and love, but it is not very breathable. Now that we're into 100* days here in Texas I needed a jacket that would flow more air. This Scorpion jacket fits great, flows plenty of air and looks very nice.

Comments On Apr 16, 2013:I bought this jacket for warm weather. It vents well and I always get compliments on it. I leave the quilted liner out of it, since it's my warm weather jacket. I bought the Scorpion Hellion jacket from Rocky Mountain for cold and or rainy weather. I am 5'-09", 190 LBS and a Large fits perfectly. I probably should have gotten an XL in the Helion due to using it with all the liners in most of the time. You can read my review on the Heloin jacket for sizing info.

Comments On Apr 10, 2013:Excellent Jacket!!! Great liner, and adjustable waist and forearm straps for perfect snug fit when it's cooler. Great front and back ventilation zippers when it's warmer. Luv this jacket!!! Great bang for ur buck too!!!

Comments On Sep 26, 2012:I owned mine for about 6 months now. It holds up well to the elements and is very durable. Since it is a closeout item i ordered another for the closet or if the girlfriend takes a ride with me. Thanks for the great coustomer service and products.

Comments On Sep 04, 2012:I've actually bought two of these jackets. Sizing seems spot on; I am a size medium. Fit is comfortably snug in the right places but not binding in others. For reference, I can wear S or M in Joe Rocket (S is very snug; M is a little roomier). This Scorpion jacket fits between those two, right on the measurements in their size chart.
I sold the original red/white jacket after my MSF Experienced Riders' Course. I recently bought the black/white, and it looks great...even better in person than the pictures show. You can't beat features like a removable liner, water resistant, and elbow/shoulder armor—ESPECIALLY at the killer price RMATV is selling them for. Thanks, guys!

Comments On Feb 28, 2012:Great fitting, very adjustable jacket. It has a removable vest that keeps you warm, on my concours, very warm. Rode home in the rain and I stayed dry, very nice. The upper sleeves are adjustable, as well as the waist. I wear large shirts and I'd say it fits well. The ONLY real problem that I have is there simply isn't enough pocket space. My wallet fills the inside pocket (zippered pocket btw). The side pockets aren't truly big enough for my hands to fit in, that's why the lack of a 5th star. I really do put stuff in my pockets while riding (keys, wallet, phone) and need some space and the jacket fails here, so -1 star. I really like the jacket otherwise.

Comments On May 02, 2011:The jacket is exactly what I was looking for. I measured 46.5" round the chest so went for the Size 48 which fits 46-48" chest, but I have a tad bit too much room. I went with the larger size based the indication that it is cut smallish. I couldn't find a dealer that had any Scorpion Exowear in stock, so I erred with caution and ordered the larger of the two sizes I was considering. Who knows, though maybe the Size 44 that is said to fit 44-46" would've been way too tight. But I'd say its a normal fit rather than snug fit. All-in-all I'm very happy. I will continue to online shop with Jake Wilson!

Once just a village that settled on the "Ile de la Cité" (City Island) on the confluence of the Seine's two branches, Paris has vastly expanded over the centuries, taking the surrounding villages under its wing and making them its own. Nowadays the City of Light—a name Paris earned during the age of the Enlightenment—is made up of several arrondissements or districts, numbered from one to 20 and logically ordered with the 1st in the center and the others following in a clockwise spiral. The differences are vast and varied between the districts, both in terms of the populations and attractions, which together make up the multifaceted city we know and love.

Cities with so many intact historical sites are rare. Monuments, museums, squares and gardens, in all their beauty, remind us of the extent to which Paris is and always has been in demand. It has been a theater in which major events have been staged, an intellectual, political and economic reference point since its foundation, and the residence of kings for several centuries. A city of the people and the middle classes, rich and poor, proud and sometimes treacherous, cosmopolitan yet insular. This cultural and sociological mix gives Paris an irresistible charm.
France's political, economic and cultural capital had modest and strictly rural beginnings; it started as no more than a little Celtic fishing borough, established in Third Century BCE in the middle of the Seine on the Île de la Cité. The fortified and prosperous Lutèce appealed to Caesar and his Roman army's greed, and they appropriated it in 52 BCE as one of the first Gallo-Roman cities. The first mention of the name Paris appeared in 207 CE, when the civitas parisiorum (literally meaning city of the Parisians) stretched from the left bank of the Seine to the thermal springs of Cluny. Paris quickly attracted the favor of two saints who were to contribute to its construction. Saint Denis was the first Christian bishop to be beheaded by the Romans in 280 CE; his remains now lie in the Saint-Denis Basilica. Saint Geneviève became the patron saint of Parisians after miraculously repelling the invasion of the Huns in 451. Monasteries and abbeys flourished, including the powerful abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Près, erected in 558 under the aegis of King Childebert I. Many kings of the Merovingian dynasty were buried here. The Abbey in itself doesn't exist anymore but you can visit the remaining adjacent church, the Église Saint-Germain-des-Prés. While Charlemagne preferred Aix-la-Chapelle and suffered a long siege there at the hands of the Vikings in 885, Paris continued to repel the invasions of the barbarians with varied success until 987, when it regained its pride with the accession of Hugues Capet to the throne.
As capital of the tiny French kingdom, the city grew considerably between the 11th and 13th Centuries. The development of the city owed much to Philip II, known as Philippe-Auguste (1165-1223), son of Louis VII, who paved the streets and built the new market in the Halles, the circular ramparts, and the Louvre fortress (1204). These extravagant centuries saw the completion of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame (undertaken in 1163), and the Sainte Chapelle under Saint-Louis (in 1248). The medieval town was divided, with the commercial, political and religious areas on the right bank and the bastion of dissident intellectuals on the left. The most famous of these was Robert de Sorbon, whose college was the precursor of the famous university of the Sorbonne. With a population of 200,000, Paris had become the biggest city in western Christendom in the beginning of the 14th Century. But some black years were to follow with the famine of 1315, the plague of 1348 and the Hundred Years' War, when Paris was besieged by the English until 1436. Fortunately prosperity was to return in the 16th Century with François I to whom we owe the Hôtel de Ville, the college of France, the Hôtel des Tuileries and the Pont Neuf. He also transformed the old Louvre fortress into a Renaissance palace.
Paris sank into chaos once again with the religious wars and the terrible St-Barthélémy massacre of the Protestants during the nights of August 23rd and 24th, 1572. The fiercely Protestant regent, Henri III, had to flee the city and was succeeded by Henri IV in 1594 after he gave up the throne. A convert to Catholicism, he courted the hearts of Parisians by building the Place des Vosges, the Place Dauphine, and the Quais de l'Arsenal and Orfèvres.
Even more beautiful extensions to the city came under Louis XIII with the building of the Marais district (which retains its original character), and the Saint-Honoré and Saint_Germain suburbs. This was followed immediately by the construction of the Luxembourg Palace by Marie of Médicis, the Val de Grâce by Queen Ann of Austria, and the Palace of the Cardinal (now the Palais-Royal) by Richelieu. The establishment of the Royal Printing House, in 1620, the botanical garden located now in Jardin des Plantes and the French Academy consolidated the intellectual character of the capital.
Louis XIV, known as the Sun King, installed his sumptuous court at Versailles, leaving Paris to deal with the Fronde from 1648 through 1652. This group protested against an absolute monarchy, but by isolating the king and his minions, it was only strengthened. Colbert, in charge of buildings, had superb monuments built by Mansart and Perrauls in honor of his sovereign: the colonnade in the Louvre, the Invalides, the Observatory, the gates of St-Denis and Saint-Martin, the Salpêtrière hospital, and the Jardin des Tuileries. The opulent architecture offered a stark contrast to the over-populated and poverty-stricken Paris of the ordinary people.
The proliferation of cafes and literary salons, including the famous Procope, fostered new egalitarian and libertarian ideas that preceded the French Revolution, and contributed to the cultural reputation of Paris. At this time were constructed the École Militaire, the Panthéon, the Place de la Concorde and the Palais-Royal Gardens, where the initial 1789 uprising was plotted; it was here that the famous Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen were originally formulated, and numerous remaining royalists were executed. With the regent beheaded, Napoleon put Paris in the control of two prefects charged with establishing a government. He set about creating the capital of Europe, establishing the Arc de Triomphe, the Stock Exchange in Palais Brongniart, the Place Vendôme, the Vendôme Column and the Saint-Martin Canal.
During the 19th Century, the poverty of the people fueled the anti-royalist revolutions of 1830 and 1848. Napoleon III's Second Empire symbolized the start of a new era: above all a period of industrialization, efficiency and public health. Official architect, Georges Haussman, changed the face of the city, transforming its medieval character into the one we know today. Dirty lanes gave way to broad, tree-lined avenues and majestic buildings that were accessible by new means of transport. Parks and gardens were established, such as the Bois de Boulogne and the Bois de Vincennes. Success came with the Universal exhibition of 1889, whose specially built iron structure was designed as a temporary monument and is now the archetypal symbol of the City of Light; without the Eiffel Tower, Paris just wouldn't be Paris. The Sacré-Coeur Basilica was completed in 1910, as was the Palais de Chaillot.
Spared by the Great War, intellectual and artistic Paris attracted numerous important painters and writers, especially in the Montmartre district. World War II was a different story however, when the German army occupied the capital in June 1940; the city was eventually liberated in August 1944 by General Leclerc and General de Gaulle. The latter declared the Fifth Republic, which was to be challenged by a great social, economic and cultural upheaval in May 1968. This dissident movement arose in student circles and was led by Daniel Cohn-Bendit. The occupation of the Sorbonne and Nanterre universities degenerated into riots and barricades in the Latin Quarter. It was an unprecedented crisis whose shock tactics paralyzed the country with a general strike.
Just as all the monarchs had left their mark on Paris, naturally the presidents of the Fifth Republic wished to be remembered through their great monuments. De Gaulle bequeathed the Roissy-Charles de Gaulle Airport; the Centre Georges Pompidou is a controversial memorial to the president of the same name; Giscard D'Estaing established the Musée d'Orsay and transformed the old abattoirs of la Villette into the Cité des Sciences. François Mitterand, during his 14 years as president (1981-95) carefully planned his monumental works to evoke controversy and excitement. Among these are the Arche de la Défense, the glass pyramid of the Louvre, the Opéra Bastille and the Bibliothèque Nationale de France. When it comes to Paris, everyone has an opinion.
Paris, a capital famous for its fashion, history and artistic culture has numerous hotels. There are splendid palaces that epitomize French-style elegance. In the fashionable districts, luxury hotels cater to the needs of the most demanding clients and are also ideal for the business traveler. In the picturesque Montmartre and Marais areas, and on the Île de la Cité, the hotels are particularly charming. The intellectual Latin Quarter and Saint-Germain-des-Près entice visitors with the names of illustrious artists who have stayed there. In the bohemian east of town, you will find modestly priced accommodation.
1st, 7th & 8th Arrondissements (the Golden Triangle)
If Paris reigns supreme as the world capital of good living, it is a reputation built not only on the excellence of its cuisine but also on the quality of the accommodation on offer. Some of the most luxurious hotels are close to the Champs Elysées and the very elegant Avenue Montaigne including the palatial Hôtel George V, the Hôtel Plaza-Athénée and the Hôtel Franklin Roosevelt. These are also extremely convenient for the needs of the business community. Equally distinguished is the Ritz, a palace once graced by writer Ernest Hemingway, and Coco Chanel, founder of the eponymous fashion house. The Rue St-Honoré, one of Paris's most regal and elegant thoroughfares, is close at hand; the Hôtel Costes puts the Paris of Dior, Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent within walking distance. Many of these palaces have revived the luxury and decor of a particular period, with all its attendant grandeur and splendor (the Louis XIII room at the Georges V, the Napoleon room at the Costes and the Louis XVI room at the Ritz). Similarly, some of them have haute couture on the spot, such as Hotel de Crillon and the very elegant Hotel Lutétia, which entrusted its redecoration to the famous fashion designer, Sonia Rykiel. For decades the richest people in the world have frequented these hotels. Should you have the means to stay in one of these palaces, you might well find yourself rubbing shoulders with celebrities in the hotel bar or restaurant.
On the other hand, you might want to try the art of cuisine in the Ritz-Escoffier School of Gastronomy located in the hotel of the same name. The Hôtel Costes, center of the empire belonging to the two Costes brothers from the Auvergne region, have followed up their majestic hotel by investing in numerous eating-houses in the capital. On the same spot there is a Costes restaurant, a Costes bar, not to mention a much-frequented sports club with a magnificent swimming pool in the basement.
3rd & 4th & 11th Arrondissements (the Marais)
The older, smaller hotels are concentrated in the most picturesque areas. One of the oldest districts, the Marais, harbors numerous little private hotels, all characterized by their charm, like Hôtel Saint Louis Marais or Hôtel de la Bretonnerie and Hostellerie du Marais. This is also Paris' gay quarter. Other establishments located in buildings dating from the same period (17th Century) include the Hôtel St Paul-le Marais and Hôtel des Deux Iles, located on one of the oldest parts of the Capital, Île-Saint-Louis. The Île de la Cité and the Île Saint-Louis, where the two arms of the Seine meet, are ideal for a romantic stroll (Notre-Dame Cathedral is on Ile de la Cité).
5th Arrondissement (the Latin Quarter)
What can be said about the Latin Quarter? Elegance and intellect combine in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, where in earlier times the great names of art and literature were drawn as to a magnet. If you want to immerse yourself in the bohemian universe of philosopher, Jean-Paul Sartre you could check in at the Hotel Sully Saint-Germain. Saint-Michel neighborhood offer further more reasonable options like the Hôtel des Grandes Écoles or the Hotel Acte V, if you want to soak up the intellectual atmosphere and elite student's lifestyle.
18th Arrondissement (Montmartre)
Montmartre, with its Sacré-Cœur basilica and the Place du Tertre, is considered by some to be even more attractive. There, you will find some charming and picturesque hotels with reasonable rates, such as Hôtel Victoria or the Hôtel Caulaincourt Square.
Eastern Suburbs
In the city center, only a few establishments are affordable, but a little piece of heaven is to be found in Montorgueil pedestrian district: Hôtel La Marmotte, from where you will be able to find some of the trendiest shops alongside Rue Étienne Marcel. But most of the really inexpensive hotels can be found in the 10th Arrondissement near Gare du Nord and Gare de l'Est. These hotels often gather an international and young crowd coming from all across the globe. Among the ones that offer good service and comfortable rooms, are the Hotel Jarry located in the bustling Indian district, the Hotel Le Cambrai and the Perfect Hotel & Hostel. Make sure you request a room furnished with a shower and a restroom if you wish so, as not all the rooms have both! The trendy Bastille area in the center of east Paris, once the district of furniture makers, also offers some reasonable options, such as the Absolute Hotel or the International Youth Hostel, very popular among hard-up globetrotters.
La Défense (North West)
Finally, if you want to be sure of comfort and good value for money, there are numerous hotel chains available. Some are within the city, such as the Timhotel Montparnasse near the tower of the same name. Others serve the business area, La Défense, such as the Hôtel Mercure Paris La Défense, Novotel Paris La Défense, Hôtel Ibis Paris La Défense Centre and Hôtel Kyriad Paris La Défense. These hotels fill up really quickly during trade shows, so make sure you book your room in advance if you wish to attend one of them.
If there's one word that symbolizes Paris, it is gastronomy. The French, always appreciative of the finer things in life, have a unique tradition of famous restaurants and great chefs. If you really love good food, you'll find true happiness here. The latest, most fashionable restaurants mix innovation with traditional culinary techniques to serve classic French cuisine that's full of unexpected flavors. The cafe-restaurants, which are the pride of Paris, fit into the gastronomic landscape better than ever, with their beautifully presented and affordable food. Paris, always so cosmopolitan, has also been enriched by exotic cuisines from the four corners of the earth.
1st Arrondissement
In Paris, fine dining and great feasts (lasting up to three hours) are sacred, and the chefs in the most famous restaurants have turned their cuisine into a real art form. Paris features some of the most highly-praised restaurants and world-acclaimed chefs by International food critics, including the first arrondissement's Grand Véfour. Some other fine dining options can also be found in prestigious hotels, like Restaurant Le Meurice in the Meurice hotel. Combining touches of originality in both the food and design, the establishments of the Costes brothers are not to be missed. Café Costes was the first to set the trend quite a few years ago now. Highly popular during cocktail hours, notably among the business crowd, Fumoir is a comfortable lounge with leather coaches and an upscale restaurant, serving elaborate, traditional French food. The Pharamond, offers an extraordinary setting and a meal to match: its decor dates from 1832, proof, if any were needed, that Paris' tradition of exceptional gastronomy is still going strong.
2nd Arrondissement
If you're looking for pastries, the oldest pâtisserie in Paris is Pâtisserie Stohrer, carrying deserts and sweets fit for a queen. A bustling area for Sunday brunch is on Rue Montorgueil, notably Au Rocher de Cancale, which is completely packed after noon.
4th Arrondissement
After a stroll in the narrow streets of Île-Saint-Louis, head to the oldest ice-cream artisan in the city, Berthillon. With more than 60 different flavors, their all-natural ice creams will enchant the whole family. The most exquisite include Caramel Beurre Salé (caramel and salted butter) and Cappucino. At one point in time it was very hard to find a Parisian restaurant that served brunch. That time is behind us now, and brunch has become so popular that, at some places, you will have to wait a quite a while for a table. Le Loir dans la Théière is definitely worth the wait. All pies, tarts, and pastries are hand-made and fresh, and prices are more than reasonable. For tea, Mariage Frères has the best reputation. As for nightlife, one of the hottest spots in Paris is Georges at the top of the Centre Pompidou.
5th & 6th Arrondissement
Tour d'Argent is one of Paris' culinary institutions, serving up dishes of worldwide renown.
Le Procope is decked out in the finest fashions of Paris' Années Folles, and Ernest Hemingway finished "Le soleil se lève aussi" at the world renowned Closerie des Lilas. Parisians think of Les Deux Magots and Café de Flore as historic monuments just like the Eiffel Tower or Notre-Dame Cathedral. Visitors should make a point of visiting these historical establishments to truly soak up the atmosphere of the capital's glorious past; it's easy to imagine past celebrities and intellectuals dining in the luxurious period decor. If you're looking for authentic country bread, Poilâne bakery is the best bet. You will find the famous Tartines made with this bread (toasted with cheese, vegetables, or prosciutto) at numerous cafes in the city. What is a good meal without an espresso in the end? Something is definitely missing–notably the chocolate served with it. The French are chocolate connoisseurs and you can find some chocolate artisans throughout the city, like the Maison du Chocolat that imports chocolate from Switzerland and Belgium.
8th Arrondissement
The 8th arrondissement is home to some of the finest restaurants in France, with Pierre Gagnaire voted one of the best restaurants in the world by the British magazine Restaurant, and the oft-celebrated Restaurant Alain Ducasse situated in Plaza Athénée Hotel. Maxim's is a veritable institution devoted to classic French cuisine, and another excellent yet expensive spot is Taillevent, which has wines that cost as much as a dress from Chanel. Paris has numerous fashionable spots where you go to see and be seen. Most of these restaurants have chic and trendy interiors designed by popular architects. For fashionistas and celeb-watching addicts, L'Avenue, located on the prestigious avenue Montaigne where many famous designers have boutiques, is an ideal spot. For flavored and rare types of mustard and vinegar, the first established Boutique Maille is the best bet, and Hédiard and Fauchon stock some of the world's finest specialty foods. For desert, don't miss Maison de la Truffe for first rate truffles, and Haagen-Dazs for it's world-renowned flavors. For the best macaroons (a kind of soft cookie filled with cream) in town, head to Ladurée, a house that has been established since 1862.
9th Arrondissement
A new trend arose in Paris as an alternative to cafes and bistros serving a rich food: healthy soup and juice bars. With an increasing number of vegetarians previously not having many dining options, they rapidly became a success. The soup and juice bar Soup & Juice perfectly illustrates the phenomenon. People don't always have time to sit at lunch for hours anymore, and they may want a healthy alternative to the sandwich booths and bakeries. With a dozen of locations across the city, you can grab a healthy meal at very reasonable prices.
10th Arrondissement
Brasseries began in the Alsace region, where the beer was actually brewed, so the tradition is that most brasseries (which literally means brewery), not only serve sauerkraut (an Alsatian specialty) but also seafood and shellfish such as scallops, oysters, mussels, clams, etc. The Brasserie Flo, located in a remote and quiet court in the 10th arrondissement, is a bargain for seafood lovers. The ingredients are extremely fresh and the decor reminds some patrons of Grandma's kitchen. Bistros are certainly the best value for price if you cannot afford the star-rated restaurants but still want to enjoy the best of French food. You can find many bistros and brasseries in the capital, serving the traditional Entrecôte (rib-eye steak) or Bavette à l'échalotte (flank steak dressed in a shallot reduction) with French Fries, the cheese or charcuterie plate (cooked meats), and chocolate mousse or caramel creme. Julien, with its Belle Époque décor, is a great place to sample the cuisine of a traditional brasserie à la française. If you're looking for seafood, La Marine offers a lovely dining experience alongside Saint-Martin Canal. For dessert, try Furet Tanrade, which offers exquisite chocolates in a cozy atmosphere.
11th Arrondissement
When Bastille became a hip district for nightlife, the spotlight fell on the restaurant-bar-club, Sanz sans, which consistently draws a lively crowd of revelers. For traditional meals from the Auvergne region, head to La galoche d'Aurillac. Try one of the specialties like the Lentilles from Le Puy or the charcuterie plate—notably the Fricandeau (a kind of pâté typical from that region). The cheese plate is a must-have here, since they mature the cheeses in their cellar. Another classic brasserie is Petit Bofinger in Bastille, more affordable than the original Bofinger. Chez Paul is one of the best bistros in Paris, but make sure to arrive early or be prepared to wait up to one hour for a table. The Bar à Soupes in Bastille is a charming place for healthy cuisine, and for oysters and shellfish, a great option is the Bar à Huîtres, an oyster bar in Saint-Germain-des-Prés.
12th Arrondissement
Cheese is to France what tea is to England; it is part of the national identity. There are more than 300 varieties of cheeses coming from various regions of the country. Neighborhood farmer's markets are the best places to sample and buy all the kinds of cheese you can imagine and probably some you didn't know existed. Choose from fresh, creamy, or dry goat cheese, soft and milky Camembert, creamy Brie de Meaux, strong Munster or Époisses, and full-flavored Roquefort. The Aligre Market is without a doubt the largest and the most comprehensive market in the city.
13th Arrondissement
Whether for sampling on site or souvenir shopping, wine is of course a must-have in France. You will find many wine shops in Paris, with an excellent selection of bottles coming from small French wineries or prestigious houses. The most widespread name in the city is Nicolas. The wine merchant has brown flagships all over the city and carries affordable ordinary wines and more elaborate vintages. All the sales associates are very professional and can give you good advice on wine and meal pairings. The wine bar, Bar à Vins Nicolas located alongside fashionable Cour Saint-Émilion in Bercy-Village is a great spot to sample the selection they carry.
14th Arrondissement
Visitors should make a point of visiting several historical establishments to truly soak up the atmosphere of the capital's glorious past; it's easy to imagine past celebrities and intellectuals dining in the luxurious period decor. La Coupole offers all the splendor of Paris' Années Folles, and if you look out at the terrace of the Dôme, you may even see the ghost of Jean Paul Sartre. After all, Paris is magical.
16th Arrondissement
The Café de L'Homme offers an intimate dining experience behind its red curtains and warm wooden decor. Paris has countless fine specialty food stores, each only dedicated to one sort of delicacy. For caviar, go to Prunier.
17th & 18th Arrondissement
The Paradis du Fruit (literally "fruit's paradise") will enchant those in search of a perfect smoothie. Wepler is a well-established brasserie on place de Clichy.

Impaired smell is the partial or total loss of the sense of smell.
Loss of smell; Anosmia
The loss of smell can occur due to nasal congestion or a blockage of the nose. It isn't serious, but it can sometimes be a sign of a nervous system (neurological) condition.
Temporary loss of the sense of smell is common with colds and nasal allergies , such as hay fever (allergic rhinitis ). It may occur after a viral illness.
Some loss of smell occurs with aging. In most cases, there is no obvious cause, and there is no treatment.
The sense of smell is often lost with disorders that prevent air from reaching the part of the nose where smell receptors are located (the cribriform plate, located high in the nose). These disorders may include nasal polyps , nasal septal deformities, and nasal tumors.
Other disorders that may cause a loss of the sense of smell include:
Many medications may change or decrease the ability to detect odors.
The sense of smell also enhances your ability to taste. Many people who lose their sense of smell also complain that they lose their sense of taste. Most can still tell between salty, sweet, sour, and bitter tastes, which are sensed on the tongue. They may not be able to tell between other flavors. Some spices (such as pepper) may affect the nerves of the face. You may feel rather than smell them.
Treating the cause of the problem may correct the lost sense of smell. Treatment can include:
Avoid using too many nasal decongestants, which can lead to repeated nasal congestion.
If you lose your sense of smell, you may have changes in taste. Adding highly seasoned foods to your diet can help stimulate the taste sensations that you still have.
Improve your safety at home by using smoke detectors and electric appliances instead of gas ones. You may not be able to smell gas if there is a leak. Or, install equipment that detects gas fumes in the home.
There is no treatment for loss of smell due to aging.
If you have a loss of smell due to a recent upper respiratory infection, be patient. The sense of smell may return to normal without treatment.
Call your health care provider if:
The health care provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your medical history and current symptoms. Questions may include:
The health care provider will look at and around your nose. Tests that may be performed include:
In some cases, you may need surgery (biopsy) to remove a piece of the cells that help you smell (olfactory epithelium) to make a diagnosis.
If the loss of sense of smell is caused by a stuffy nose (nasal congestion), decongestants or antihistamines may be prescribed.
A vaporizer or humidifier may help keep mucus loose and moving.
Steroid nasal sprays or pills may be recommended.
Vitamin A may be given by mouth or with a shot (injection).

6 Questions from the Community
Is it dimmable?
Are these dimmable and linkable?
A. Yes, the WAC Lighting HR-LED85 can be dimmed but only if it is powered with a dimmable LED driver such as LED-350MA12-DIM-RB and used with a compatible magnetic low voltage dimmer. The LED lights are linkable when used with a driver that can power more than 1 Button Light such as LED-350MA09-RB (up to 3 lights) or LED-350MA12-RB (up to 4 lights). A minimum of two lights are required to run in series.
what voltage are they
whats all included with this is there a transformer per light or do you buy it seperate??
For two pucks, can I use one transformer
How many lights do I use under each standard size cabinet (2 door)?
A. Thanks for your question. The WAC Lighting HR-LED85 gives off 3watt diodes per module, there is no standard cabinet size. How many lights you are planning on using depends on what you are using the lighting for and what lighting is already provided in the kitchen. For a two door cabinet I would recommend using one if you are just using it for spot lighting and three if you are using it for task lighting. Let me know if you have further questions.

Purchase Reason
We were pleased with the print quality. Framing was also good, except for the annoying reflections on the plastic protection in front of the picture.
Purchase Reason
this picture reveals more of itself over time
Purchase Reason
Excellent quality!
Purchase Reason
I bought two very similarly sized pieces to hang on either side of a big screen TV. Although similarly sized, the hanging wires were installed in two very dissimilar positions. This made hanging both pieces much more difficult than necessary.
Purchase Reason
The color on the actual print is not as vivid or crisp as shown on the Web site. I still like it though.

Young and Restless Recaps
Y&R Week of December 1, 2008
Kevin and Jana staged a Thanksgiving meal for the needy at the coffeehouse.
She was curious as to where her hubby got the bucks to buy her scooter and
all the food for the feast, but he claimed he used a credit card. Gloria then
Michael showed up and he blasted his mom about not helping River. After she
slipped away, Kevin blabbed to his brother that Gloria is planning a
takeover of Jabot with Jeffrey and Jack.
Devon was miffed that Yolanda's phone had been turned off which meant she
wasn't reachable. Neil contacted Michael for help in getting Ana back. "What
you need is a sympathetic judge who doesn't mind being pulled away from his
family on a holiday," Michael advised so nothing could be accomplished until
the next day. Neil, Tyra and Devon tried to convinced the social worker to
allow Ana to stay with them, but were turned down. It was also revealed that
Yolanda was now clean of drugs and married. "I should've never come to
Genoa City," Tyra sobbed. Billy overheard the legal woes and, with Lily in
tow, tracked down a lawyer buddy, Rafe for help.
Jack was surprised when Jeff announced that he wanted to be appointed CEO of
Jabot once the takeover was complete at the stockholders' meeting. "I'll act
for the good of the company, with your guidance, of course," Jeff assured so
Jack grudgingly agreed. Later, Jack was again surprised when Gloria
approached him to remind that she would be named CEO as they planned. Jack
didn't reveal his earlier conversation with Jeff, who returned so Jack made
a toast to their effort tomorrow.
Daniel had to comfort Amber who broke down after she burned the turkey. It
turned out she was really missing Katherine. They went to Mrs. C's grave so
Amber could have a good cry. Later Amber and Daniel promised to focus on
their new careers, fashion design and art, respectively.
Gloria and Jeff came back to the coffeehouse, where Michael asked about the
takeover. "It's a dream come true, Michael," Glo chirped but her son asked
when she became so "heartless." Later, Jana found Kevin's stash of money and
he explained it belonged to Kay. Kev said he would give it up if that's what
Jana wanted but she said it wasn't her decision. "It's up to you," Jana
pointed out.
As Ana's closest relative, Devon was allowed to see Ana who was
understandably frightened. He assured his little sis that she will be back
home with them soon. Devon gave Ana his watch so she would sing every hour.
Tyra was allowed to say goodbye before Ana was led away to a foster home for
the night. Billy and Lily returned to announce that they got the best public
defender to represent Tyra and Ana. Gil apologized for turning Tyra in but
she was too angry to be receptive. Neil explained to Tyra that Gil was only
doing his job. Tyra and Devon comforted each other over the trouble Yolanda
is causing.
Gloria, Jeffrey and Jack were anxious to take back Jabot from Jill. Jack
reminded them that he was to be consulted on everything and that they were
to stick to the script. Glo assured him that they were all on the same team.
Jeff was confident that he'd be the new CEO of the company.
Meanwhile, Cane tried to calm a nervous Jill as she prepared for the Jabot
stockholders meeting at the GCAC. Cane went to leave, though, when he was
told about Ana being taken by family services. Jill was horrified when the
Bardwells and Jack arrived for the meeting. Jack called Billy and told him
to come by the meeting so they could "make history." Brad then joined the
group, as well as Kevin.... Outside of the meeting, Chloe and Colleen
exchanged words. Colleen taunted Chloe about Cane not loving her.
At Neil's place, he and Tyra tried to find a way to get Ana back, but their
lawyer Rafael advised them to play by the rules. Tyra was devastated when
Rafe warned her that the case could drag out for weeks. Tyra tearfully
recalled how Yolanda had been an unfit mother to Ana. She was upset when she
was told that she could have a supervised visit with Ana, but Neil reminded
her that the important thing was her getting to see the little girl. Later,
Lily was surprised when Cane stopped by the Winters' home and offered to be
a witness in Ana's case. Lily was touched, but admitted to Olivia after he
left that seeing Cane hurts. Liv asked Lily why she didn't pursue Billy;
Lily explained that it would be awkward dating Cane's brother. After, Karen
complained to Liv about Tyra being too dependant on Neil. Olivia recalled
telling Neil that she sensed he had something special with Tyra.... Tyra,
Karen, Devon and Neil met with Ana at Crimson Lights. Ana wanted to go home
with them and was upset when she was told that she couldn't. Devon promised
her that she wouldn't have to go back to Yolanda. Karen revealed to Ana that
she understood what Ana was going through because after her mother had died,
Karen was sent to live with relatives.
Nikki and Esther went to Crimson Lights after unsuccessfully searching the
Chancellor Estate for Katherine's ring.... At the diner, Pearl admired
"Marge's" fancy ring, but Kay couldn't recall where she'd gotten it. Pearl
believed that it was the real deal and not costume jewelry. Kay replied that
with the amount she'd made in tips the day before, there was no way she
could've bought something that expensive. Murphy was also curious about the
ring. Kay was frustrated that she couldn't remember anything in her life.
Later, the ring was missing.
Nikki went to the Jabot meeting and accused Jill of taking the ring. Jill
denied it, but admitted that she was hurt that Kay hadn't given her the
piece of jewelry... Nikki then accused Jack of framing Victor for murder,
but he denied the charges. He was surprised when she informed him that she's
moving on from Victor. She advised Jack to do the same in terms of his
rivalry with Newman.... Gloria promised Kevin a big promotion once she took
over the company. She was confident that she'd be the CEO.... Lily found
Billy's cell phone and went to bring it to Billy at the Jabot meeting....
Colleen couldn't understand why Brad wanted to be at a meeting with people
he didn't get along with. He explained that he didn't want to make their
lives easy.... Jack gave Billy a pep talk and reminded him that he'd
financed Billy's life in Hong Kong — and that they were working together to
honor John's memory. Finally, the meeting began and Jill addressed the
stockholders. Jack urged Nikki to stick around, but she left. Later, Gloria
stood up and announced that she and the Abbotts would be taking over Jabot,
now that they had enough shares of stock. Jill was horrified. "You've been
planting a hostile takeover all along!" Jill fumed. "I feel no hostility,"
Gloria replied. "You can't do this!" Jill stated, but Glo was unfazed and
stated that Jill and Cane were now fired from the company. Billy then
arrived and announced that he'd be running Jabot.
At Crimson Lights, Nick, Michael and Lauren wanted to discuss the cover of
the new Restless Style that had been shot in Paris, but Phyllis didn't want
to talk about it. Lauren then brought up Eden and noted that Sharon disliked
the teen. This caught Phyllis's attention.
Daniel tried to come up with an idea for a sketch, but couldn't think of
anything. Amber was disappointed that she wasn't working as his muse. Daniel
finally decided to do a show featuring his paintings since his last show had
featured his sketches. Soon, they were joined by Jana, who was surprised
that Amber and Daniel had decided to quit Restless Style. Amber explained
that she was going to use Kay's money to launch a clothing line. Jana
pronounced Daniel's painting, which looked like a blob of different colors,
"brilliant." Amber then asked how Kevin had afforded Jana's new scooter.
Jana flashed back to Kevin finding Kay's money.
At the Jabot stockholders' meeting, Jill was stunned to learn that Billy was
part of the company takeover. Billy explained that he wanted to get the
Abbotts back in control of the company again. Cane was furious with his
brother for stabbing Jill in the back. Jill concluded that Jack had
brainwashed him. Jack just smiled and toasted to the revival of Jabot. Jill
couldn't believe he'd joined forces with Gloria. Glo noted that under Jill
and Cane's leadership, the company was failing. Cane argued that Kay
supported him being in charge. Billy remained quiet this whole time. Jill
finally approached him and accused him of betraying her. Just as a big
argument was about to break out, Ashley entered the fray and announced that
she'd be the one running Jabot. Ash reminded the stockholders that she's had
a lot of leadership experience. Jill noted that Ashley was there during the
moisturizer debacle; Ash assured her that she had nothing to do with that
and would make sure the labs adhered to the highest safety standards. Jill
then stated that Ashley was away for a long time and out of the loop; Ashley
pointed out that she'd been working for Forrester during that time....
Colleen and Lily argued over whether or not Billy was disloyal. Coll pointed
out that Billy was being loyal to John.... Billy tried to explain himself to
Cane and Jill, but Cane wouldn't hear it. "Why don't you go back to the side
of the family that doesn't think you're scum?" Cane growled, adding that he
was stupid for thinking he could bond with his brother. Chloe called Billy a
jerk. Ashley was surprised that Jack was being so cool about her taking
charge. He was pleased that she was returning to Genoa City. She explained
that she was going to make sure he didn't do anything to get himself into
At the Abbott mansion, Noah was about to leave, but Sharon stopped him. Noah
explained that he was going to his friend's to do homework. Sharon also
demanded to know the friend's name, which annoyed Noah. Sharon asserted her
right to know what he's up to. After, Noah and Eden went to the coffeehouse,
where they ran into the Baldwins, Nick and Phyllis. Nick wanted to know what
his son, who was supposed to be grounded, was doing there and reamed him out
for lying to Sharon. While they were arguing, Michael noted that Phyllis got
"twitchy" whenever Sharon's name was mentioned. Phyllis broke down and
confessed that she saw Nick and Sharon kissing in Paris. Michael was
confident that Nick's crazy about Phyllis. Phyllis replied that Sharon's
always calling Nick for help and he runs to be there for her. Phyllis then
shared that she had information that could break them up; Michael urged her
not to scheme because it could backfire. Later, Sharon arrived and also
scolded Noah. She and Nick told the teen that him and Eden can't hang out together,
but Noah refused to obey. "It's not like we're robbing banks, so what's the
big deal?" he snapped.
A gleeful Brad taunted Jill for falling on her face. "Up yours, Bradley!"
she spat. "Always a lady," he chuckled.... Jeffrey and Jack conferred about
Ashley being in charge. Jeff warned him that unless he and Gloria were
happy, the Abbotts could lose Jabot.... Lily felt badly for Cane losing his
CEO position. Cane replied that he was mostly concerned about Jill. He then
cautioned Lily about her growing friendship with Billy.... Ashley and Billy
looked forward to working together.... Gloria and Jeff wondered how they
could manipulate Billy and Ashley. Glo believed that Ashley would play
nicely.... Cane assured Chloe that him losing his job wouldn't hurt their
finances. "We're Chancellors. The Chancellors rock!" she stated. "Damn
straight," he agreed.... Amber mused that it was odd timing that Kay died
and Gloria was left Kay's Jabot stock, right when Kevin was having financial
problems. Kevin insisted that he had nothing to do with Kay's death.... Lily
gave Billy the cold shoulder.... Jill warned Ashley that if Jack is involved
with Jabot at all, she'll ruin both of them. "You have a nice day, too,"
Ashley replied.... Jack reminded Billy that he owes him for the time he
footed Billy's bill in Hong Kong. After, Billy and Jill exchanged glances,
but didn't say anything. A crushed Jill turned and walked away.
Phyllis called Brad and informed him that Sharon was about to get some bad
news about Jack — and she wanted Carlton to be there to pick up the pieces.
Noah argued with Nick and Sharon over his friendship with Eden. They
explained to Noah that he seems to get into trouble whenever he's with his
new pal and grounded him.
At the GCAC, Jack planned a special dinner for himself and Sharon. He ran
into Phyllis and informed her about the Abbotts winning back control of
Jabot. Phyllis complained to him about Sharon interfering in her marriage.
Jack assured her that he and Sharon are closer than ever. After Jack stepped
away, Phyllis made a hotel reservation. She then called Nick and told him to
meet her at the club.... Jack informed Sharon about winning back Jabot and
assured her that everything he did to get it back was on the up-and-up. She
didn't entirely believe him. "This is a new beginning for us. I'm going to
be the perfect husband," he promised, then invited her to join him for a
special evening. After, Phyllis called Noah and asked if he could
babysit Summer. Noah wasn't sure since he was grounded, but Jack gave him
Michael met with Victor at the jail and informed him that the experts have
confirmed that the handwriting in the diary is Victor's. Newman denied it
and implored Michael to grill Jack about having the diary forged. Later,
Victor was approached by Frank, who told Victor he knows the truth about the
diary — that it's a fake. Victor was intrigued. Frank offered to give him
information if Newman could get his lawyer to release Frank. Victor
suspected that Frank was conning him. Frank showed he was sincere by giving
Victor a very detailed description of the first page of the diary. Frank
agreed to talk for a million dollars. Vic warned Frank not to cross him.
Frank got up and left.
Phyllis looked over a list of credit card charges, then called Brad and
instructed him to intercept Sharon that evening at the GCAC. She was certain
that Jack and Sharon's marriage was about to end. Later, Nick waited at the
GCAC bar for Phyllis while Phyllis set up their hotel suite. Nick was soon
handed a card by the bartender, instructing him to come to the room...
Phyllis called Michael and asked him to make sure Sharon and Jack stayed at
the club until a "special delivery" arrived for Sharon. Michael didn't want
to be involved in her scheme.... At the GCAC, Jack and Sharon sat down for a
yummy meal of Italian food. Brad looked on from across the restaurant. Jack
toasted his "wonderful wife."... Nick went to the suite and found Phyllis
donning sexy lingerie. He appreciated the romantic surprise. Before enjoying
their time together, though, Nick and Phyllis called Noah. He quickly got
them off the phone.... and turned to Eden, who'd joined him. Uh-oh!. The
teens tried to study, but ended up kissing.... Back at the hotel, Phyllis
suggested that she and Nick take a bubble bath together. He liked the idea.
But first, she answered a knock at the door: it was room service, bringing a
bottle of champagne. She gave the waiter a big tip, then instructed him to
bring something to Sharon.... At the restaurant, Jack gave Sharon a cute
gift: a literal clean slate.... Brad called Phyllis and complained that
Sharon and Jack seemed to be perfectly happy together. Phyll assured him the
"games" were about to begin.... Soon, Michael interrupted Jack and Sharon
and asked to speak with Jack about the diary. He blamed Abbott for writing
it, but Jack denied it. As they argued, the waiter brought Sharon Jack's
credit card statement. Brad watched as Sharon read the charges. She asked
Jack why he had so many charges to the Genoa City Motor Arms Hotel and why
he'd paid for an escort service. Jack announced that he's a sex addict!
At the prison, Victor asked to see Frank. Frank again asked for a million
dollars, but Victor refused to give him the money and noted that he has
information on Ellis. Vic then mentioned Frank's autistic son and how he
needed help. Frank warned him to butt out, but Newman explained that this is
now his business. He offered to take care of Frank's family if Frank gave
him information about the diary. He then warned that if Frank didn't help,
he'd throw him to the cops. Frank promptly began talking, explaining that
while he did the actual forgery, Adam brought him the handwriting samples,
while Jack came up with what to write. Victor requested that Frank write
down his confession and agreed to help take care of Frank's wife and kid.
At the GCAC, Sharon was furious when she received the list of Jack's
suspicious credit card charges and he announced that he's a sex addict.
Sharon found it hard to believe that he would frequent cheap motels and
stormed out of the restaurant. Michael plopped down in her empty chair and
accused Jack of lying about being a sex addict. He believed that Jack was so
desperate to keep a secret that he'd risk ruining his marriage to Sharon.
Upstairs in their suite, Phyllis and Nick donned bathrobes and enjoyed
dinner together. She reminded him that they have to act like a couple and
not just co-workers or Summer's parents. When Nick stepped away, Phyllis
called Brad and told him to keep watch for Sharon. Brad obliged and followed
a tearful Sharon out of the GCAC. He offered to drive her home. Sharon
explained that she and Jack had a fight, then broke down.... Nick and
Phyllis happily snuggled. They declared their love for one another and
promised to be there for each other forever.... Sharon tried to call Nick,
but he wasn't answering his phone.... Nick wondered why Phyllis had arranged
the romantic evening for them. Phyll replied that she's felt like she's
spending less time with him now that Nikki and Sharon seem to need his time.
Nick assured her that she's the most important person in the world to him.
Nikki ran into Ashley at Crimson Lights and filled Ash in on her failed talk
with Victor. Nikki believed that Ashley was pleased about this turn of
events and accused Ash of arranging the meeting just to set Nikki up for
failure. Ashley denied this and said that she'd actually defended Nikki to
Michael went to the prison to meet with Victor to discuss Frank. Michael
explained that they couldn't just take Frank's word about the forgery, but
Victor wanted Baldwin to get him out of jail as soon as possible. Michael
noted that Frank's confession wasn't admissible as evidence in court.
At the Abbott mansion, Brad wrapped a sweater around Sharon and comforted
her. Jack returned home and demanded that Brad leave. Sharon thanked Brad
for being there and he headed out. Jack then admitted to her that he wasn't
telling her the truth at the club. Sharon angrily snapped that she can't
believe anything he says and told him to move out. Brad listened to their
fight from outside and was pleased. At the GCAC, Phyllis soon called Brad. "
Phyllis, you may be a scheming witch, but you're a talented scheming witch,"
he praised. Phyll implored Carlton to be there for Sharon after Jack left.
After she hung up, Nick asked who she'd been speaking with. She lied that it
was a business call. Nick suspected that she was keeping something from him
and urged her to open up to him. Phyllis insisted that she was the happiest
she's been in a long time.... Jack again begged Sharon for a chance to
explain, but she wouldn't give it to him and told him to go. He headed
toward the door, but before he left, he said, There is one thing I never
lied to you about. I'm crazy about you, Sharon. If you believe nothing else,
believe that." Sharon watched him depart, then sank into the couch, crying.
She thought back to her time in Paris with Nick when they'd kissed. Later,
Brad returned and offered her a shoulder to cry on.... Jack moved to a room
at the GCAC.
Ashley visited Victor in jail, where they embraced and kissed. He then asked
her to sit down and told her about Jack's involvement with the forged diary.
Ash was shocked.

Below are key drivers of Microsoft's value that present opportunities for upside or downside to the current Trefis price estimate for Microsoft:
Microsoft makes money primarily through the sale of business productivity and operating system software. Microsoft's business productivity software suite, known as MS Office, is used for word processing, spreadsheet preparation, presentations and email. MS Office is sold primarily to businesses worldwide. Microsoft's operating system software, known as Windows, is sold primarily to PC manufacturers (such as Dell, HP, Acer), which sell Windows-based PCs to consumers and businesses.
In May 2011, Microsoft agreed to acquire Skype Global for $8.5 billion in cash. This acquisition is the largest ever done by Microsoft. Skype is an internet phone company that enables phone calls to be made through internet for free or for a nominal charge. We believe Microsoft can use Skype to strengthen its enterprise, search and mobile businesses.
Microsoft could make use of Skype by integrating its voice, video and sharing capabilities with Microsoft Office, as a way for businesses to improve collaboration. We think that Microsoft could leverage the large Skype user base to promote its search advertising business, Bing. Microsoft will also benefit from the integration of Skype into its own mobile operating system - Windows Phone 8.
We believe Microsoft Office and Windows Operating System are the most valuable segments of Microsoft for the following reasons:
Microsoft Office has higher market share in the productivity market compared to the market share Windows OS has in the PC market. Even if users use Mac OS X over the Windows OS for their personal computing needs, Microsoft's Office Suite is still one of the best available productivity suites on the platform. Even as more competition enters the productivity software industry, we still think that Office is substantially better than competing products.
Due to the large number of operating systems in the industry, along with the advent of tablets computers, we think that Windows pricing for PC makers will decline from $55 to $48 per license over our forecast period. While Microsoft Office also faces stiff competition, we think that the overall growth in the global productivity software market will keep the MS Office revenues stable despite falling prices.
Microsoft Office operating margins were around 66% in 2012. Microsoft released Office 365, a cloud-based software, to compete with Google Apps. Under the cloud-computing model, Microsoft would store Office programs on its own servers and deliver them to customers online. Although this is more cost effective for its customers, cloud-based Office software will cost Microsoft more when compared to supplying software that is installed on the computers and servers of customers. If Microsoft willingly ends up cannibalizing some of its own business productivity products, it could be due to fears that competition and mobile apps are a serious threat to its business long-term and would pressure margins anyway.
Microsoft launched the next version of Windows - Windows 8 - in 2012 which works on notebooks as well as tablets. The company's new release, the Surface tablet has been hit with negative reviews. Since the competitive tablet industry has already established products such as the Apple's iPad and Google's Android tablets, Windows 8 faces strong headwinds as it tries to increase market penetration.
Microsoft announced a strategic partnership with Nokia in 2011 in which Nokia will adopt Windows Phone 8 as the main operating system for its smartphones. In this arrangement, Microsoft is paying approximately $250 million per quarter to Nokia to carry its Windows OS.
The deal also stipulates that Microsoft's Bing search will power Nokia's smartphones and Nokia's app store will be integrated with Microsoft marketplace. Nokia has a large presence in emerging markets, which is also attractive to Microsoft.
Through the Nokia partnership, Microsoft not only stands to gain licensing revenues for its operating system, but also search advertising market share.
Netbooks and cheaper laptops took shape as a phenomenon in 2008 and have started to account for a increasingly larger proportion of the PC market since their launch. Netbooks are targeted towards price-conscious consumers and are used to primarily run web-centric applications like email and the Internet, where the OS requirements are light. This has lead PC OEMs to be more willing to look at lower- priced, reasonably capable alternatives to Windows, such as Linux. If cheaper laptops continue to be a bigger part of the PC mix, that trend will dilute either Microsoft's market share or its pricing and margins.
Microsoft will also target tablets with Windows 8. The license price for Windows 8 for tablets will likely be lower than the average Windows license pricing. This could lead to a further decline in Microsoft's Windows license pricing.
We expect that Microsoft's Office suite will continue to experience challenges from hosted solutions like Google Apps, as well as open source alternatives, such as Star Office.
In June 2009, Microsoft unveiled its newly-positioned search engine called Bing. Microsoft is believed to have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on marketing and promoting Bing, which is primarily why its Online Services division continues to be in the red.
Piracy is an important issue for Microsoft as software piracy in emerging markets is particularly problematic. The problem is grave in China, as some of its biggest organizations (and some segments within government itself) use a large proportion of pirated software. For example, Microsoft estimates that 84% of the Office software and 97% of Windows server software used at China Railway Construction Inc. is pirated.
If the Chinese government fails to crackdown on these piracy issues, Microsoft will be left out of a lucrative Chinese market.
This represents the average price of Xbox sold in a given year.
By our estimates ${forecast} declined from $275 in 2008 to around $184 in 2012, as consumers opted for low-end Xbox consoles in an overall weak consumer spending environment. We would expect ${forecast} to continue to trend downwards in the future.

A couple weeks ago, just prior to hopping on a bus for a cross-country tour, I fell in love with OneTrueFan.com. Now that some of the initial hype has died down, I thought I'd share how my first week with it went.
You should first know that this thing kind of blew my mind at first.
The canned description is that this is Foursquare for the Internets. In other words, a way to "check in" at just any ol' website as you surf, thereby communicating where you go and tagging you as a "fan" of frequently visited sites and therefore the, "one true fan" of sites you've visited more than anyone else (like Foursquare's, "mayor"). It also has patches/badges for browsing accomplishments and a point system that builds by visiting and sharing pages through Twitter, Facebook and more. It's easy to lazily make this the web's analog to Foursquare. It can be a lot more than that.
Step back from the mechanics, which require a downloaded plug-in for your browser, and you can see that in some ways this turns web analytics a bit on its head – in fact it reverses the magnifying glass, showing you the interesting detail beyond your simple history. It really forces you to take a different look at your browsing culture and personal identification.
As Co-Founder Eric Marcoullier (@bpm140) reflected openly in a Twitter conversation with me:
I pretty much always look at who visited the page before I read the article now. The context is fascinating.
During my first week I really stayed open with my browsing. I installed the One True Fan plug-in on my main browser and allowed auto-check-ins on basically every site I visited (in full disclosure I did hide check-ins on exactly three sites, for client sensitivity reasons). Doing this while on the AGLA Hiring Heroes tour was particularly interesting since my check-ins ricocheted between scheduling which tiny town we'd be in from Dallas to Los Angeles and keeping up with news and work from the world outside the bus.
There's a stat dashboard I don't visit very often, but does contain some sample activity:
And here's the bar that subtly appears at the bottom of websites – it's small at first but when moused-over shows:
I too found myself checking who else had been there, both from a crowd-sense and a breadcrumb sense. It doesn't just include anyone with a OneTrueFan.com plug-in, but also anyone sharing these sites on Twitter, Facebook and more (lots more, coming soon, they promise). Yes, there are privacy concerns (that can be easily assuaged with just NOT sharing site visits or un-checking "auto check-in") but it still makes for an interesting personal if not public experiment.
Consider how this lens, of our internet life, combines with other lenses. How our patterns and likes, our real-world favorites and virtual world favorites begin to make up our personal identity. Consider the generational differences and how OneTrueFan.com data could illuminate our perceptions of demographics… The mind blows.
Business, healthcare & higher education institutions… what if you could actually identify who your biggest fans were?
For more on One True Fan, here's video of Eric from their Disrupt 2010 presentation:
OneTrueFan.com is in private alpha right now…

Misperceptions about 2D imagers are changing fast, which is why 2D imagers are the fastest-growing category of bar code readers. Only a few years ago 2D imagers were (wrongly) considered a niche technology mostly used for reading 2D bar codes. Now they are becoming the technology of choice for most bar code applications, and lasers are on the way to becoming a niche technology. The reasons: 2D imagers are as fast or faster than laser scanners, can read all the same bar codes as lasers plus 2D symbols that lasers can't, and can do much more.
