sounds bearable enough to begin with....atleast not like the migraine inducing Secretions magnifiques...
Some of you may have heard of that perfume that is supposed to smell like a lady's private parts. I ordered it and shared it with coworkers, for science and for fun.
First, if you ordered it, you would be disappointed twice. I thought it would get me a 50ml cologne bottle, but it is actually a 2 ml vial, with an oily liquid in it. It isn't oily like a perfume oil - it is more oily like a water based lube, or like a ... natural lubricant. That part was well done.
You will be disappointed again with the smell. My coworkers agreed in general that it has "something" that you can associate with a woman's parts, but unless you are told so, you might not even make the association. But it could smell like... another animal's parts. I wouldn't know, but it does smell "kinky", and like a natural liquid could. Just not close enough to what I, or my coworkers have experienced.
Don't worry though, it does not smell dirty or disgusting. There was a video review on youtube where people recoiled at the smell, but I don't think you would have this reaction unless an actual, male stranger made you smell his finger like they did in the review.
Maybe some people will wear this on their wrist for personal enjoyment, and it isn't bad, although it is not in any way a "perfume". The 2 ml vial will last a long time too.
By the way, the only coworker who kinda liked it was a female coworker. I told her what it was, she tried it, then she said - and I kid you not - "Smells like piss. It's quite good." Sadly, she is already married.
Another funny but sad note: All but one coworker preferred Vulva to Assam Kinam, a 100$ 0.5 ml vial of Oud I bought at Oriscent. But I think social pressure caused this. None of them gave it a serious try and they didn't seem interested in really giving themselves a chance to grow to like it, it was more fun to say "it smells like shit" in a group. My one coworker who actually tends to try new things in life (he has thousands of spices, natural oils, etc.) ended up really, really loving the oud.

I don't know if the smell of a vulva is something good. Make no mistake I love vulvas, but if there's any smell down there this is not necessarily a good thing

My feelings on the subject:
I love the smell of meat. A nice steak mmmmmm, cajun tuna mmmmm, mesquite chicken mmmmm, flame broiled hamburger mmmmmm, a vulva mmmmm but I would never like to smell like any of them.

Great post!
Fairly recently I accidentally ended up in bed with a woman I know (yes it's possible). We didn't have sex but I did go down on her, several times actually (I do rather enjoy visits to that area). For the rest of the day up until me showering I kept getting this wonderful smell from time to time. It was from the moustache part of my goatee ensemble. It was a delicious and sexy smell.
If Vulva smells anything like vulva, then yummy frankly. Kiehls Musk or MKK are a poor second IMO.
In a world where people smell bad, it is the personal responsibility of every Basenoter to improve the world one SotD at a time...

I think some people get those more kinky fragrances for their own enjoyment though. Many find MKK downright sexy or sexual, and would wear it at home, or want their lover to wear it during intimate moments.
In my case, I'm a guy, and I buy feminine perfumes to wear at home only because as much as I like the smell of a women wearing perfume, I might as well smell that when I'm alone too. And other scents such as aoud, I find a bit too off-putting to wear outside, but I wear at home because I love smelling my arm every few minutes when I wear this.
Vulva is probably like that too, someone who finds it kinky would wear it at home, pajamas around his ankles, ya know?

How is the longevity on that? I'd imagine it's better than the male counterpart - Wang - which many find has longevity measured in mere minutes.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.
I'm actually curious to try this, just to see if it can render some of the same instinctual responses as the actual odor. I'm very intrigued by the use of human elements in perfume - not typically as straightforward as this but human elements wrapped into a larger concept (eg: Mugler Cologne's S-note).

Well you guys are funny. My husband has been looking up as I've read this saying "how could you be laughing about perfume?"
Of course I was curious about this too a couple of years ago, but it probably smells like the private parts of a 400 pound woman who eats two large plates of curry six times a day. Not that I actually ever really smelled that, btw, but I do have a vivid imagination.

Vulva? I would have loved to see the brainstorming session when they were searching for a title for this one - Eau D'Pussy, Cuntessence, Quim For Him, Muffsouko...
[QUOTE=brianroy;1384984]So you feel attracted to women who like the smell of piss
ohhh zinger! Good one!
Isn't it Aqua Vulva?
Saw it in one of Ren & Stimpy's episodes, a very horny duck applies itself tons of Aqua Vulva in order to seduce Stimpy, to no avail since Ren atacks him and, well, faints.
Wonder it smells like... sea fruits, or fish.
Would like to try it, as well as ELDO's Secretions Magnifiques. Unfortunately, unavailable down here.
Seen the pic? Wonder what my wife would think if I would give it for her b'day - "C'mon honey! This won't do... you already had enough sex for the whole year".
BTW, no perfume won't work as good as a good conversation regarding perfumes - I believe the topic is a catcher for the ladies. Yesterday I got ten samples from a lady working as an SA (and she was gorgeous) at a local dept store after trying some fragrances and holding a thirty minute long conversation about personal tastes and preferences.

Stuffed Up? How to Relieve Winter Congestion
Sick of waking up with throbbing sinuses? Improve your indoor air quality today with these quick fixes.
CorbisFrom a stuffy head to that whistling in your nostrils, breathing's no breeze this time of year. "When your nose is exposed to cold, it runs," period, explains Michael Benninger, MD, chair of the Head and Neck Institute at the Cleveland Clinic.
That's because our nasal passages are designed to warm and humidify air before it gets to the lungs. In colder temperatures, the nose overcompensates by producing extra mucus. It can thicken when exposed to the dry air outside and irritate your throat or your sinuses, those hollow cavities behind your nose and forehead. Take a deep breath (if you can): Relief is right in front of you.
Step 1: Clear your head
Get steamy. Nose and sinuses stuffed up? Step into a quick, hot showerthe steam can loosen up congestion.
Rinse out your schnoz. Dry air can irritate the membranes and blood vessels inside your nose, resulting in gross and sometimes bloody (but normal) little crusties. Keep conditions moist by using a drugstore saline spray every day, or rubbing a dab of unscented, alcohol-free body lotion inside your nostrils, Dr. Benninger suggests. (Avoid petroleum-based products, which can cause nasal tissue to swell over time.)
To better flush out that dry mucus, upgrade to a neti pot. Fill it only with distilled water to avoid potentially dangerous bacteria, and steer clear if you're completely congestedotherwise, water can get trapped in your sinuses and cause infection.
Sleep smarter. First, Dr. Benninger says, lie on your back. Then pull your head forward as if you were going to smell the air. Place a pillow under your head and neck, so your neck stays angled at about 15 degrees. This will keep your nose elevated above your heart; gravity can decongest it naturally.
Step 2: Transform your indoor air
Beat bugs. It may not seem like prime allergy season, but "some of the most common allergens, like pet dander and dust mites, are generally found indoors," notes Travis Stork, MD, a host on The Doctors and an ER doctor in Los Angeles.
If you're getting watery eyes and an itchy nose, use an air purifier with a HEPA filter. Leave a window cracked open during the day to circulate air and dilute allergens. Wash bedding on the hot cycle once a week, and encase your box springs, mattresses, and pillows in covers designed to protect against dust mites.
Hydrate at night. Every time you exhale, moisture escapes your nose and throat, says Gene Alford, MD, an ear, nose, and throat specialist at the Methodist Hospital in Houston. We can make up for that by drinking water while we're awake, but not so much when we're asleep. This means we often wake with a painfully dry nose and mouth, especially in winter. Your best defense? A cool-mist humidifier. (Why not a warm-mist unit? They can be drying over time and lead to nasal swelling, especially when used all season long.) Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning to keep it germ-free.
Change your air filters. If you heat your house with forced air, particles like dust, pollen, and dander can collect on the filter, so switch yours out every six months. Dr. Benninger also suggests having your air ducts professionally cleaned every two to three years, especially if you're allergy-prone.
Step 3: Drink up
Guzzle H2O. Water will keep your nose and lungs lubricated. Tea works, too. The heat dilates the blood vessels in your nasal passages, then constricts them, temporarily decongesting you. Skip hot toddies, though (sorry!): Booze is dehydrating.
Just add ginger. It's an age-old remedy that really works: Columbia University researchers have found that compounds in the plant relax constricted airways, relieving congestion. Add it to soups and stir-fries, or sip ginger tea.

The ability to prep extensively is a compelling argument; it hadn't occurred to me. It seems plausible that those whore are economically disadvantaged person might spend less time or money on prep (again, we have to speak in great generalities here; I'm sure there are plenty disadvantaged kids who took a prep course or put in the hours, and plenty of rich kids who didn't).So, you two are almost certainly right about that, with the caveat that choosing candidates who truly couldn't afford to prep and choosing candidates who half-assed it would be difficult. I would imagine that we could view GPAs on similar terms.I'm still not sure about the whole scheme, though. If these kids are smarter (or whatever) than their numbers indicate, then they should thrive at a school full of students with those numbers (though, of course, I do see the general social good that is born from putting them in higher-ranked schools). But I just wonder whether (new numbers!) a class-AA 156 should want to compete against 166s for his livelihood, when only, say, 1/3 of that class will have the full breadth of career and earning opportunities. I suppose we could make it the 156's choice (by giving him the AA admit to take or not take)."Intellectually overmatched?!" Are you serious? So a person with a larger penis is necessarily better in bed? A person who bench-presses more weight can automatically fight better? That's your logic.Also, I'm not ready to cast off the idea that numbers don't matter. My logic isn't that a larger penis means you're better in bed; my logic is that when you're dealing with large classes of persons (entire applicant pools across all the law schools in the nation), you need a barometer to prospectively gauge expected performance. The LSAT and the GPA aren't perfect--for all the reasons stated. But they're the best indicator that we have, and, as I understand it, are in fact correlated to law school performance. Again, it's not whether X could beat Y, but whether 10,000 Xs will enjoy success against 100,000 Ys. Anyway, I don't mean to sound like an numbers-centric ideologue or whatever, but gosh, these things aren't irrelevant. (Yeah, a 162 and a 165 are the same thing, in a sense--but if we're playing with score bands, to say that the 162 and the 165 are the same, those same people could be a 159 and a 168. On a macro level, you've got to play the cards you're dealt.)
Quote from: Matthies on January 24, 2009, 05:15:31 PMWhat we need to end this debate is a correlation study that specifically tracks the level of prep for the exam and first year LS GPA. We agreed simultaneously.

Anti-Defamation League
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), originally known as the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith ("B'nai B'rith" meaning "Order of the Covenant" or "Order of the Cut", referring to circumcision) is a Jewish organization founded in 1913 that seeks to fight anti-Semitism and defend the state of Israel. Its stated mission is described as:
|The immediate object of the League is to stop, by appeals to reason and conscience and, if necessary, by appeals to law, the defamation of the Jewish people. Its ultimate purpose is to secure justice and fair treatment to all citizens alike and to put an end forever to unjust and unfair discrimination against and ridicule of any sect or body of citizen.[1]
It also claims to fight against many other forms of discrimination, while monitoring extremist groups and their rhetoric with regard to the immigration debate. In addition, it has been known to attack mainstream conservatives.
Its general stance on prayer in secular schools is that it is "unconstitutional."[2] The ADL also has a record of supporting gay rights, the separation of church and state,[3] hate crimes legislation, abortion and partial-birth abortion.[4] There is also evidence to suggest that the founders may have been Fabian socialists.[5]
The League has been criticized for attacking politically conservative Jews such as Dr. Laura Schlessinger.[6] The Jewish World Review stated that the League was "demonizing exponents of Jewish values",[7] while the National Prayer Network held that the ADL's past legislative involvement "empowered synagogue to mix with state by authorizing itself to teach the US Justice Department, FBI and all local police about hate crimes."[8]
In addition, it was also accused of being heavily biased regarding Judaism, especially when they failed to call out controversy for the anti-Catholic film 40 Days and 40 Nights, yet were willing to call out controversy regarding Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ for alleged anti-Semitism.[Citation Needed]

Moving into a New House: Our Inspiration
We just found out we're moving into a house in about a month: it will be the first time we've lived in a house - not apartment - of our own. This house reminds us a lot of what our place could be, if all things were perfect. Some particular details we're looking to for inspiration:
• 1 Painting the currently dark green shutters white. We really like the subtlety of the white on white in our inspiration house. At the door, on the other hand, we're considering something else.
• 2 One particular side of the house needs some extra privacy. We love this stone wall that adds an architectural element and some material texture. It would be perfect for enclosing a walk around to the back of the house.
• 3 Like this house, ours has dormers and the upper rooms are up in the slanted roof. We love the low, minimalist furnishings used in this bedroom, paired with the classic bones of the house. It seems a perfect way to incorporate our modernist sensibilities into quite a traditional home.
Our inspiration home referenced here is from Martha Stewart. We'll check back in with you when we're all moved in and started on making the house into our home. It'll be fun to see how much our inspiration home comes into play when we're actually settled in.

Bob Hartley tried as hard as he could to turn down his first coaching job in 1987.
At the same time, Jacques Tranchemontagne tried as hard as he could to coax him into it.
And, eventually, Tranchemontagne, the president of the Hawkesbury Hawks junior 'A' team at the time who also happened to be Hartley's former minor baseball coach, won.
"No. 1, I didn't know what I was doing," Hartley, the head coach of the Calgary Flames recalled the other day on a quiet moment at the Scotiabank Saddledome. "And, number two, you're coaching in junior 'A' hockey and coaching kids who still have the dream to move onto the NHL. By taking that job, I knew I would be kind of dishonest to the kids because I couldn't really help them.
"I couldn't be a difference."
Hartley also felt he had little to offer players who were only a few years removed from him.
But, on top of his lacklustre resume, he was also enjoying his no-stress gig as a volunteer goalie coach with the Hawks in his hometown — something he did as a pastime while he worked his day job at the local windshield factory to support his wife Micheline and their daughter Kristine and son Steve. He was happy.
"I had never coached in my life before," Hartley said. "I didn't know how to run a practice. You tell this to a kid, 'We're going to have a coach that's never run a practice.' Kids will say, 'How can this guy make us better because he's never done it?'"
Sensing his trepidation — and having offered Hartley the job numerous times unsuccessfully — Tranchemontagne took another approach.
"He said, 'I'm firing the coach,'" Hartley said. "Then he said, 'There's a new coach coming in from Montreal but he can't be here for two weeks. I need you to bail me out for two weeks.'"
Sure enough, two weeks went by. Then two months.
Hartley protested, pointing out his shortcomings.
"I'm no good," he said.
"I can't do this," he said. "And I don't want to do this."
But Tranchemontagne continued to stall.
"He kept going on and on," Hartley said. "'He said, 'Oh yeah, but the guy asked for more money. You have to give me another week.' I took this job in November. So it was a long November, a long December, a long January, a long February, a long March. But at the end, I started to feel that drug … that coach from Montreal never existed. He told me this to get me to do it.
"When we finished (the season), I said, 'I don't know where you are in your coaching search. But I'd like to coach.'
"And he started laughing."
Two championships later, he was hired as the head coach of the Laval Titan in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. A league championship and Memorial Cup appearance and Hartley was dubbed the coach of the Quebec Nordiques' American Hockey League affiliate, the Cornwall Aces. Two division titles in three years.
Then, when the Nordiques relocated to Colorado, Hartley took over as the head coach of their AHL affiliate, the Hershey Bears and captured a Calder Cup, leading the team to four consecutive playoff appearances.
But his welcome to the NHL moment came in 1998 when he was hired by the Colorado Avalanche:
"It was a Sunday night. I remember it by the minute — by the second. I was in the middle of landscaping and my wife was cooking dinner. We had friends over and kids in the pool and everything. The assistant GM (Francois Giguere) called me — and I was dressed for trimming shrubs and everything. He called me and said, 'We have a flight for you in about two hours to Colorado.' He said, 'We're meeting you tomorrow. I have a scoop for you. Bring your nicest suit. You're not coming in for an interview — there's no interview. It's your job. And be ready.'
"From then on, it was just a race. I went into the house and told the wife, 'Stop dinner. You need me to get to the airport. Which suit am I going to take?' That phone call, my wife brought me the phone and said, 'I think it's Francois.' It was about 4:30 in the afternoon. That was the greatest moment but it got real ugly."
A terrible storm had set in, causing a delay on his initial flight out of Harrisburg, P.A., which, in turn, caused him to miss his connecting flight to Denver in Pittsburgh. Quite a nightmare, actually.
"I went to the counter and they said … 'we have no room for you.' The guy at the counter was kind of a young man and I said, 'Are you a hockey fan?' He said yes. "I said, 'Give me a chance. Get me on this plane. I'm going for an NHL job.' He said, 'Really?' and I said, 'I cannot tell you more but see what you can do. Put me in the luggage. I need to go.'
"(Colorado) had told me I had the job. But I was almost reacting like a kid. I wanted to be there so much. I probably got there at 2 p.m., signed the contract, and the next day there was a press conference and it was done. It was an adventure."
Hartley also managed to take some time out of his busy schedule preparing for the start of the 2012-13 season to answer a few of our other questions:
What would you be doing if you weren't involved in hockey?
As a kid, I wanted to be a lawyer or, when my dad died when I was 18 years old and when I was in high school, I was in charge of mentally handicapped kids in a day program. I really liked this. No. 1, I liked teaching. And when I go back home, they still recognize me. But when my dad died, I decided to stay home with my mom and little sister and went to go work.
You've won $50-million in the lottery, what would be your first extravagant purchase?
I live very simply. I would certainly help people around me that needed it. But, number 1, I don't believe in (the lottery) because I never buy lottery tickets. I will never win. I don't need $50-million. I have the game of hockey, a great family, so I consider myself a rich man.
Favourite or future travel destination?
I love Switzerland, I love Zurich. I spent a year there. What a great city. By no surprise, that city is voted one of the top-three cities to live in. That was just unbelievable.
Favourite non-NHL sports team?
I have quite a few. My favourite one, but they're not there anymore, is the Montreal Expos. I'm a big, big baseball fan so they were my favourite. And in the NFL, the Denver Broncos. I went to practice with them a couple of times. But I'm a sports fan. I also fell in love with the Stamps. I went to three or four games actually. I like every sport.
Favourite non-hockey athlete?
I love GSP (UFC fighter George St-Pierre). I'm a big fan of my mixed martial arts.
Who would you draft first overall for your NHL fantasy team?
Probably Sidney Crosby. And I'm going to take him because he's not going to score any goals against us.
Funniest teammate?
Dan Snyder (who played for Hartley with the Atlanta Thrashers before passing away in a car accident in 2003). He loved life.
Non-hockey talents?
Landscaping. I love landscaping. I love being dirty in the mud, like a kid.

KODEY TONEY: Temple is my body
I sat down to write this column about something else, but as I began to research I found an interesting site with quotes from Temple Grandin. I have used some of these in the past, but I realized that I needed to share some more. This woman has so much information and knowledge to communicate that will help us as parents and advocates understand a little more about the spectrum of autism. Quickly, for those of you who are not familiar with her, Temple Grandin, according to her website templegrandin.com: "… didn't talk until she was three and a half years old, communicating her frustration instead by screaming, peeping, and humming. In 1950, she was diagnosed with autism and her parents were told she should be institutionalized. Dr. Grandin has become a prominent author and speaker on the subject of autism because 'I have read enough to know that there are still many parents and yes, professionals too, who believe that 'once autistic, always autistic.' Temple Grandin, Ph.D., is now the most accomplished and well-known adult with autism in the world." She was also featured in a movie that won many awards which starred Clair Danes.Her books are great sources for information and understanding on the subject of autism, especially Asperger's Syndrome. With that, let me share some great quotes that she has thrown out over the years. "I can remember the frustration of not being able to talk. I knew what I wanted to say, but I could not get the words out, so I would just scream." This helps us to understand the frustration and loudness that can come from a person with autism. So many times I hear people say, "Well he screamed for no reason," or "He hit for no reason." I can't tell you how untrue this is. If a child has an outburst there is a great chance that they are trying to communicate. We may not know what they are trying to say, but we can almost guarantee that there is something recently that has bothered them, or that they have been trying to say. "I cannot emphasize enough the importance of a good teacher." Me either, and we have been blessed throughout the years to have had some good ones. "People are always looking for the single magic bullet that will totally change everything. There is no single magic bullet." I've gone through this in past columns, but I will say that it takes therapy, hard work from the parents, and everyone in a child's life to help them succeed in life. "You have got to keep autistic children engaged with the world. You cannot let them tune out." This is the quote I was actually looking for when I began the research. We have been working hard to try and keep Konner from just sitting at the computer or on the iPad all day. This is really hard because we are busy. It's so easy to just let them sit there and help us do other things. "If you start using a medication in a person with autism, you should see an obvious improvement in behavior in a short period of time. If you do not see an obvious improvement, they probably should not be taking the stuff. It is that simple." I'm often asked about medicating children on the spectrum. There is enough here to write another column, but I will say that if you do you need to monitor the child's actions. We have been fortunate to work with a good doctor who does not play favorites when it comes to medicines. "Normal people have an incredible lack of empathy. They have good emotional empathy, but they don't have much empathy for the autistic kid who is screaming at the baseball game because he can't stand the sensory overload. Or the autistic kid having a meltdown in the school cafeteria because there's too much stimulation." This is so true. Enough said."A treatment method or an educational method that will work for one child may not work for another child. The one common denominator for all of the young children is that early intervention does work, and it seems to improve the prognosis." Again, once you've met one child with autism you've met one child with autism."If you have autism in the family history, you still vaccinate. Delay it a bit, space them out." We did this with Kruz. We were concerned with him, as any parent with one child would be, so we had to take trips to the health department because our doctor would not space them out. However, this is my recommendation as well. "Autism is a neurological disorder. It's not caused by bad parenting. It's caused by, you know, abnormal development in the brain. The emotional circuits in the brain are abnormal. And there also are differences in the white matter, which is the brain's computer cables that hook up the different brain departments." This can help with the guilt part of learning that your child has autism. "I would never talk just to be social. Now, to sit down with a bunch of engineers and talk about the latest concrete forming systems, that's really interesting. Talking with animal behaviorists or with someone who likes to sail, that's interesting. Information is interesting to me. But talking for the sake of talking, I find that quite boring." Konner will talk to me about anything…as long as it's what he wants to talk about. If I sit him down to talk I can only hold his attention so long and then the conversation is over. "One of my sensory problems was hearing sensitivity, where certain loud noises, such as a school bell, hurt my ears. It sounded like a dentist drill going through my ears." Interesting! I also recently read from John Elder Robison that he hated loud noises unless he made them. And finally: "Autism is part of who I am." We can't forget that this is who they are as people. I know that may sound ridiculous to parents of a child, but many other people want to change things. This is their personality, or as Patrick Schwarz would say, their attribute. Kodey Toney is a parent of a child with autism. E-mail him with questions or ideas at email@example.com. You also can find all columns archived at blogspot.com.

Results 1 to 2 of 2
Looking for a juice co-packer in Vancouver Canada
I am in the search for a co packer who is able to bottle blueberry juice into 946 ml glass bottles. We are located near Vancouver, Canada and the ideal situation would be to find a company who is local and will be able to handle a minimum runs of 10,000 units to begin with and has full pasteurization, bottling ,labeling and packing facility.
Any help from the general community would be great. As a start-up that is located in Canada I don't know if it is economical getting a bottler in the US and shipping the juice there and then shipping the finished product back to Canada. If that is a good potential route any bottler that you may suggest would be appreciated.
thanks again in advance for any assistance

Only children are twice as likely to be obese than their counterparts with siblings, reports a new study in the Nutrition and Diabetes journal.
Plus: What's Behind the Rise of Childhood Obesity
The study looked at the body mass indexes (BMIs) of children aged two through nine, and found those who were only children had a 50 percent higher risk of being obese than kids with siblings. 12,700 children from eight European countries were examined in the study, and risk factors like parents' weight, gender and birth weight were all controlled.
Plus: Healthy Meal Ideas for Breakfast Through Dinner
One of the study's authors said that this could be attributed to the lifestyle of an only child: "Only children play outside less often, live in households with lower levels of education more often, and are more likely to have televisions in their bedrooms." The researchers say they plan a follow-up study to better understand the causes.
Do you think there's any truth to this study? Leave a comment.

... the moderator's response to that was like "let's not get into what rights you have on our board"
They have not mentioned it, but a new feature of the forums is that you can read it in the original German.
(It's too bad the GH forums have **** the bed, by the way.)
I have frequented there less and less over the years, but find the new forum to be a step back. I'll probably spend even less time there.
Time to let go of the Rebels and go back to JD and hopefully get the customizing section in full effect again.
Quote from: IncomT65 on September 22, 2011, 04:53 PMTime to let go of the Rebels and go back to JD and hopefully get the customizing section in full effect again.Please do. I miss seeing your stuff.
I'd forgotten about all this stuff... It makes me laugh as any of it gets brought back up like something you just couldn't digest fully. All the Greg(g) stuff, Bertha... I bet she's still around, and I bet not one thing has changed.I'm having so many blue/brown coat flashbacks too. That was epic. Fleet Trooper debating... For me that was epic. Good times since it made you realize, "This is so dumb, I'm going to just walk away from it".It still amazes me though, all the problems they can't wrangle in, and they are more agitated with the people who question their authority/reasoning... Don't sweat the big ****, let's just worry about the guys that ask too many questions.

For those who are worried about the 1 per case ratio with these keep in mind that every figure since the end of TAC has been 1 per case.
The Saga UGH silver figures were a bitch to find... To the point I didn't even bother trying for a set of those (I dig having complete pack-in collections loose for some reason). TAC's stuff was easy enough to find but some were easier than others for certain.Don't get me wrong, I dig the idea Hasbro's got here, but I don't like things becoming difficult to track down that I may want. For instance, Death Squad COmmander... I'd like more than one of him since he's an army builder. Same with some of the other items. Some I have almost no interest in (Hoth Leia, Hoth Han, etc.). I hope they're relatively easy to find.I like ordering by the case too, but for extras/army building that's not a practical strategy... I can swing one case per wave, but not more than that. My other point was that UGH tends to attract the scalper crowd too... Legacy I didn't notice them that much, but I recall seeing many more of them in the toy aisles during Saga, 30AC, and so on. Chase stuff tends to have that unfortunate by-product.
I pretty much bought the UGH I saw because I felt I should, but these sound like something I actually want.
Agreed, agreed, agreed.Also, something tells me that variant FIGURES are going to be more sought after than variant CARDS or COINS.

I received this book for free from Publisher in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Into the Darkness by MA Church
Series: Bad Boys Club #2
Published by Razor's Edge Press Genres: MM, Paranormal
Reviewed by Lisa
Forcefully acquiring yet another business doesn't give brothers Jordan and Allen the thrill it once did. Sure it's fun to infuriate the soon to be ex-owner, but other than that it's business as usual, boring.
The highlight of the entire day is meeting their friends Kain and Hugh at club Night Moves to find someone for a night of fun. Redheads are the brothers' particular kink and lucky for them a likely candidate is there on the dance floor.
Intent on taking the sexy stranger home the tables are suddenly turned when the redhead, Chaus, shows his true colors. One of the oldest vampires in existence, Chaus has plenty of inventive ways to break Jordan and Allen. Whether they survive the night is up to a thirsty, ancient vampire.
Into the Darkness gives a deadly nightwalker his due with a pair of calculating, cruel brothers. Matching wits with Chaus is a losing proposition for Jordan and Allen as they quickly learn. Sizzling hot, Into the Darkness is an intriguing tale of comeuppance with a wicked twist. No excuses for the unlovable characters, though a fun read nonetheless.

Two weeks ago, I wrote a column about the involvement of Alastair Thompson, Scoop's founding editor, with Kim Dotcom's Internet Party. The errors of judgement made at the time have been amply canvassed in this column and elsewhere. Those mistakes were partly a by-product of one head wearing too many hats – in itself, a reflection of the kind of economic pressures impacting on Internet journalism. Those conflicts of interest have been sorted out, and Scoop's lines of editorial and business responsibility are now very clear and transparent. Alastair Thompson has resigned from the Internet Party, but will have no further role in the editorial output of Scoop. Instead, Al will be bringing his experience and expertise in Net commerce directly to Scoop via Craig Pellett, the CEO of Sublime Group, Scoop's new majority shareholder.
The editorial content of Scoop will become my responsibility. From today, I will be Scoop's Editor. Some things (essential to me, at least) will not change. I'll still be doing my three Scoop political columns a week, and will continue to research, write and publish my own monthly magazine, Werewolf. As for Scoop itself….as I've indicated before, Scoop has been the mothership of independent journalism in New Zealand for over 15 years, and it will continue to carry the press releases that have been one of its traditional strengths as a journal of record. As pay walls go up online elsewhere, it has also been made clear by Selwyn Pellett that Scoop is committed to keeping the editorial content – press releases, features, analysis etc – free of charge, and open to all. In all important respects, the editorial content of Scoop will continue to be the country's digital Town Square.
So what will change? Well for one thing…within a month, the site will gradually begin to look better, and become easier to navigate. Beyond that, the journalistic challenge can be expressed very simply: my job will be to widen the range of contributors to Scoop and the diversity of opinion it carries, and by doing so, increase the readership. I could wrap that up in inspirational rhetoric but I believe good content will, over time, speak for itself. Clearly, there is an audience out there that's hungry for quality feature journalism and for well written, well researched reportage and news evaluation. If the content is good and diverse, more readers will come.
In times past, one of the main obstacles to Scoop being that kind of forum has been the sheer lack of resources. Survival alone has been an achievement, and all credit on that score to Al Thompson for keeping this ship afloat before, during and after the Global Financial Crisis. While the fresh resources from Sublime are not unlimited – sorry, but we're never going to see the gravy days of late 20th century journalism ever again, anywhere – they seem sufficient to make a really good fist of the job that needs to be done. For years, I've been told by many people just how much they want to see a diverse and independent news source that's dedicated to quality journalism etc etc. Well…we have a chance now to make that dream real. To me, Scoop has always seemed like the Kiwibank of journalism – i.e., home grown, innovative, and offering a quality service that needed only to be properly resourced to foot it with the foreign-owned competition. Now, we've got that ability.
All the same, taking this on has been something of a culture shock, already. I'm used to being a lone wolf, and it will take a while to get used to the idea of being pack leader. I've already met people who – even in a small outfit like Scoop – I never knew existed, and am learning just what some of the people who look vaguely familiar, actually do. I've learned things about Scoop itself, too. Including the discovery that since December, some of the tasks and skills involved in putting up the press releases have been outsourced to Fiji. I'm still coming to grips with the rationale.
Finally…Scoop is not interested in just singing to the choir. It will be trying to expand the choir, and to get it seen and heard in more venues, on the back of the resources available. If you'd like to be part of this adventure, get in touch with me – or at the very least, tell your friends about Scoop. Three months from now, we aim to have content on site to inform and stimulate, wherever you sit on the political spectrum. Amid better arts, culture and business coverage too. Point being: If you're from the left or the right, Scoop is planning to carry content for you to agree with and disagree with. We may take a while to become the forum of the national debate but hey…within three months, we should be able to provide the intellectual ammunition to start a number of family arguments, and resolve them.
ACT's new leader
So Dr Jamie Whyte is to be Act's new leader, and David Seymour its Epsom candidate. In obvious ways, this looks like the last roll of the dice, and Whyte is already talking about his exit strategy, and his personal response to failure. The party has also effectively closed the door on John Boscawen, despite the regard with which Boscawen seems to be held in the Beehive, and despite his past role as a party fundraiser and major donor.
Ultimately – and whatever faces are at the helm – the future of Act will depend on whether National sees it as more worthwhile to do a deal in Epsom to get Seymour elected, rather than run its own candidate. With Act currently registering zero in the political polls, it is hard to see the numerical logic. Currently, a deal with Seymour wouldn't bring in any more MPs. And on the policy front, National can always rely on the Conservatives to usher in (via a coalition agreement) any business-friendly policies that National might not want to own during the election campaign. Whyte is going to have his work cut out to make a compelling case as to why the voters – or the government – need the Act Party any longer.
P.S. Terrible, terrible news about the death of Philip Seymour Hoffman. In some countries, losing the greatest actor of his generation would be an occasion for national mourning. He did everything he touched – television, Broadway, the movies – supremely well. By all accounts, he was also extremely kind and generous to people he worked with, and to young actors starting out. Much of his best work was for Paul Thomas Anderson – in Boogie Nights, Magnolia and supremely, in The Master. Oh, he was also great as Lester Bangs in Cameron Crowe's otherwise dodgy Almost Famous. That's the thing – even in bad or so/so movies PSH single-handedly made them worth watching. Typical that the role that won him an Oscar – Capote – should be no better, or worse than anything else he did. His death is mainly a tragedy for his family; but at a lesser level, its a loss for all of us.

Motivated by developments in vectorlike holography, we
study SU(N) Chern-Simons theory coupled to matter fields in the fundamental
representation on various spatial manifolds. On the spatial torus T^2, we find
light states at small `t Hooft coupling \lambda=N/k, where k is the
Chern-Simons level, taken to be large. In the free scalar theory the gaps are
of order \sqrt {\lambda}/N and in the critical scalar theory and the free
fermion theory they are of order \lambda/N. The entropy of these states grows
like N Log(k). We briefly consider spatial surfaces of higher genus. Based on
results from pure Chern-Simons theory, it appears that there are light states
with entropy that grows even faster, like N^2 Log(k). This is consistent with
the log of the partition function on the three sphere S^3, which also behaves
like N^2 Log(k). Chern-Simons-matter CFTs with vector-like matter are
considered on T^3, where the dynamics is described by an effective theory for
the eigenvalues of the holonomies. We find no evidence for a Hawking-Page phase
transition at large level k. I shall
also discuss some recent developments on the three dimensional higher
spin gauge theories and its CFT dual.

A few hours into a busy morning – the kind that always develops when, building on a string of slow days, I have a stack of journal articles to read and paperwork to do – I got a nonsense consult. Nonsense as in, all the surgery attendings in the hospital already knew about the patient, and had discussed her condition at length and leisurely among themselves. As a result of this consultation, spread over three days, they had decided that the one attending should officially consult the other attending. Which means his resident, that is, me, needed to go put an official note in the chart to let the poor medicine team which was babysitting this patient know that the surgical attendings have changed.
So my seeing the patient and writing a formal consult was going to contribute absolutely nothing to the patient's care or to my team's knowledge of her; but it had to be written.
It didn't make me any more enthusiastic that the picture I got from the chart before going into the room was of a patient seeking pain medication. Sure, she had a couple genuine chronic conditions with biopsy documentation of their existence; but she was on a lot of narcotics, plus some valium thrown in. She had been on disability for years, even before this most recent, serious problem cropped up.
I was in for a surprise.
She was polite, pleasant, and a very coherent historian (first clue; real seekers try to muddy the waters). She was able to tell me all the studies that had been done, and gave me a timeline of her symptoms and the path to the final diagnosis.
I asked how long she'd been on disability, and all of a sudden she started talking. She'd been injured a few years before, but had kept busy up till last month taking care of her father, whose health had declined precipitously. Last month he died at home.
I didn't have to say anything at all; she just wanted someone to listen. She told me about her mother's poor health and inability to care for her husband, about how painful it was to watch her father getting continually worse. She told me about how he joined the army right after Pearl Harbor, flew several bombing missions, and was eventually interned in Switzerland, then came back to get married and start a family.
There was a lot more – his death had hit the family hard, and it sounded like the siblings weren't relating to each other well now – but I wasn't looking for holes in the story any more. No slacker takes disability, then works 24/7 caring for a dying parent. Most healthy people don't do that much.
At the end of that talk, I understand why psychiatrists don't believe in physical exam. After that much sharing, it's rather anticlimactic to ask if you can listen to the patient's lungs.

The Lipscomb women's soccer team spent its spring break in El Salvador on a mission trip. Safely back in the United States, junior Kelsey Reiman talks about the trip including the baptism of three student-athletes in the La Libertad.
Bittersweet Farewell
Our footprints imprinted in the distant black sand begin to fade as we wade farther into the depths of the sea. Waves wrestle and roll over the stones beneath our feet. God announces His power in the thunder of crashing waves and His mercy in the whisper of trickling water. He is here and we are ready.
Hand in hand we march. Our silence marks the revolution and our smiles rejoice in confirmed hope and rewarded prayer. The footprints are now far in our past. Abandoned with the filth of our old selves and the abundance of our transgressions, they are stolen by God, carried away with the tide, and washed clean by the water.
There we stood, arm in arm, hand in hand as brothers and sisters in Christ. Reaching into the waters, God's hands stir a burning flame beneath the surface, eager to consume a renewed body, extinguish the old, and catch fire in the new. He crashes the waves relentlessly against our backs, thrusting us forward into new life. He is here, and we are ready. Take us
One by one, Karli Crosby, Brittany Rupple, and Kameron Stilwell proclaimed Jesus as the son of God. Submerged into the mighty waters, admitted sinners cast their guilt into the sea, shed and slaughtered their old lives, and emerged with new life, wholly consumed by the Holy Spirit.
The kingdom birthed three beautiful and bold daughters, awakened and charged to shine God's light on the dark places of the world. Sparked in El Salvador, their flames will spread like wildfire across the sea, illuminating Lipscomb and the Nashville community.
I pray that the flame we ignited in El Salvador will prosper long after we are gone. Although we are sad to leave, we anticipate the journey ahead and carry spirit and love of El Salvador forever in our hearts. The lessons we have learned will evolve, the friendships and family we have gained will flourish, and the faith that has blossomed will be planted again and sprout in others.
For now, the end is only the beginning.
By Kelsey Reiman

Now I want to see Caro's reaction to adult mode Vivio (being taller than her of course).
Sette thanking Mr Snuggles for his offer?
Hmm... I don't remember if Hayate's child-to-be-born was mentioned to be a boy or a girl.
Why is Chrono asking Gil about the existence of a familiar transfer ritual? I'd expect Chrono having filed a request to the Infinite Library on that (that other Scrya girl helped with its ordering --forgot her name-- even if I believe she doesn't work there anymore) and arrived offering Graham transferring Aria and Lotte. After all he did have some time to prepare to this visit (at least since the familiars started living in their cat form permanently)
Oh! I see where this can go. The familiars live as long as the master gives them mana; now, with a master as long lived as Filia they Aria and Lotte can become an element of estability for Filia when Chrono and Amy eventually die.

And this week's release is....
Magical Lyrical G-Squad
Chapter 4: Peril in the Sky
In which the Bureau's mysterious adversary attacks them in a way they didn't expect...
Previous chapters can be found here.
Spoiler for Magical Lyrical G-Squad, Chapter 4: Peril in the Sky:
This week's chapter comes with a character that I will claim has never been used in a Nanoha fanfic before! Of course, you could prove me wrong.

Lost Logia Plot Device for a Pre-StrikerS, alternative continuity fanfic:
A magical Electro-Magnetic Pulse Field Generator.
Developed (or at least employed) by an extinct civilization as a countermeasure against the Anti-Magic Field technology of the Belkan Empire.
It shorts out all electronic technology (especially AMF generators), but has no effect on magic, thus allowing mages trained to operate without Devices to have a serious edge over those who became dependent on them (especially as a way to deal with their own self-imposed AMF handicap). And because this is a powerful, MAGICAL field, it has the ability to bypass physical EMP shielding and break through magical protective fields.
Unlike AMF and the Eclipse effect, this is a form of handicap much more friendly to the genre of the original series. Because magical girls can still USE their magic and expect it to have an effect.
In order to deactivate and retrieve this Lost Logia, the Bureau needs to rely on those agents who are the strongest without any Device at all.
Yuuno Scyra, Arf, and Zafira.
Because of their long, long experience, Signum and Vita are also viable, though they would not be deployed until after the Bureau can furnish them with suitable equipment. That is to say, a regular but extremely durable sword and warhammer.
Because Fate was training in maic and high-speed aerial combat long before she got Bardiche, and because she's still a ridiculously powerful mage without him, she can also be fielded.
This is a mission that Nanoha would have to sit out, as her unorthodox magical education left her much too reliant on Raising Heart. She would be kept on standby as emergency backup, while furiously training to operate on her own.
Hayate is in the same boat as Nanoha. Indeed, this whole incident spurs her into the kind of training that will actually allow her to participate in combat like her Battle of Aces self, rather than become a helpless nuclear warhead desk jockey.
Reinforce Zwei, as a Unison Device, is a living magical program like the Wolkenritter, rather than an electronic Device, and she can therefore accompany the initial team, or assist Hayate once she's finally ready to enter the field.

That's barely worth a short story, so making a longer story requires more elements.
For example -- and remembering that this is set after A's -- Yuuno begins to notice that his Clan hasn't yet returned from the expedition they left for at the beginning of the original season. So no one has heard from them in about a year.
The Lost Logia would be the cause; it destroyed any technology they could use to leave or communicate from the planet.
But why did it activate?
Did they deliberately use it to defend themselves against attackers with superior equipment? Or is part of the plan of some force which intends to use the Lost Logia to make trouble for the Bureau?

Anyway, if you at least remember the gist of Crisis, you should be fine to read G-Squad. And perhaps the first chapter of Red Jewel Diaries.
For Mirror, you'd probably benefit from a greater familiarity with Crisis and RJD, though.
But what I think I'll do, and probably what I should have done, is when I address certain plot points in G-Squad and Mirror, I'll add a brief recap so that people can go "Oh yeah, I remember that now." I'll go back and see about editing some of the previous chapters to stick those brief recaps in.

Who? Me? o_O
Naw, it's just a matter of learning to slowly improve my writing. Being able to recap a plot point within the narrative, in a natural and unobtrusive way, in order to gently remind your audience of things, is something a writer should be aware of. It's something I should have realized, especially after Future Tense. It's not enough to mention a plot point just once, but even to repeat it a few times in the fic itself.
And given that I am only a few chapters into G-Squad and Mirror, it shouldn't be too hard to scan them and insert a brief paragraph or two.

Shamal could work as a mission control. She at least have the same amount of experience as Signum and Vita, so she probably have non Device spell.
Chrono would be the Driver, the one who drops them off at the mission area and pick them up later.

Tyler's WOLF
Anybody else got it?
I quite appreciated some Odd Future stuff at the start then sort of just lost interest after Goblin kinda sucked. Never really explored much else outside of Bastard, Earl and Frank Ocean...
However, this is pretty great so far. The music itself is clearly influenced by all the alternative/indie stuff he talks about on twitter and his writing is pretty much on the mark throughout. Yeah, it's really good actually. Pleasant surprise.
yeah, i can't stop listening to this
he's way less of a dick on this than he was on goblin.
anyone read this?
some parts of it don't make a lot of sense, but it definitely has some ground to it.
listening to it through again after reading that
yeah, a lot of it seems to bit. Testament to the lads ambition really.
Either way, this is one of my favourite releases of the year so far. Really taken with it.
Yeah, I also really like this
Goblin had its moments but was a bit of a mess on a whole. This seems like a really coherent, consistent listen. Pleasantly surprised.
Just went on a walk to the beach
listened to Jeru the Damaja's The Sun Rises in the East (classic) and then this straight after in full for the third or fourth time today. It's fucking amazing, I don't think there is a track I'd cut from it, going to go back and revisit Bastard.
It's nice but
why does it have to be over an hour? Someone needs to tell Tyler to cut the fat.
really, really impressed
i really bought into OF around the spring that goblin was released and found it massively disappointing, gave this a cursory listen out of intrigue having not really been interested since then and loved it.
i listened because of this thread
i didnt like it muchComaboy this'd this
What happened to all the hip young modern rap fans on here...
seriously, this album is fucking great. Can't stop playing it.
I cannot get behind Tylers flow at all
it's pretty terrible at times, if it weren't for him then I'd love it due to the selection of beats but his rapping sounds so amateur most of the time that it's distracting. A couple of great tracks though

Black as used diesel motor oil from an old caterpillar on the farm, with a great, lasting brown head and tremendous lacing.Although it's a bit subdued for an imperial stout, the aroma smells of sweet roasted malts, coffee, dark chocolate, molasses and caramel. The rising smell of alcohol seems to accent the complex aromas nicely.Taste wise the complexity only increases. Bitter roasted malts, molasses, honey, coffee, chocolate, a touch of dark fruits (raisins?), and notable alcohol taste are rounded out by a slightly acrid bitterness from the ample hops.The body is thick and rich, gaining complexity as it warms. Carbonation is smooth and silky. A lovely burnt, roasty, bitter malt character finishes it off and leaves a nice stouty aftertaste.
Very good beer and as far as I know it's the only RIS style beer in a can. Was at OB in July and they broke out the whiskey barrel aged Ten Fidy for us to try and it was great.
I actually like Great Divide's Yeti Imperial Stout a little better. I live closer to GD than I do OB, so I visit GD more than I do OB. It's fun to sample all the different versions GD does with Yeti such as chocolate oak aged, espresso oak aged, whiskey barrel oak aged, regular oak aged, and their Belgian Style Yeti. Have had all of these at their tasting room and they all very very good. Most of these, if not all, are bottled and sold around the Denver area, not sure how far their distribution goes.

We LOVED Out of the Blue. I think we paid $180 USD / night for a 2 bedroom penthouse with a 1000 sq ft private terrace where we enjoyed $10/hr private massages every day after diving. Check them out on TripAdvisor -- they probably have the best reviews of any place I've seen. We stayed in Villa 10; however it doesn't look that one is listed on there website right now (they mentioned they were doing re-modeling, so that may be it). The villas numbered above 10 are brand new and were under construction when we were there, so they should be very nice. Here is a photo of our view:

Are you looking for Anilao again or elsewhere? Anilao, I'd wholeheartedly recommend Dive Solana (www.divesolana.com) much nicer than Club O. Diving in Puerto is very similar to Anilao but Portofino is pretty nice in PG. Just make sure you stay away from Sabang Beach and you'll be OK. In Dumaguete, Atmosphere Resort is very nice. Was in Moalboal last June, but diving was just so so so but Turtle Bay Resort was pretty good though they do nickel and dime you to death.

In Dumaguete, I highly recommend Antulang Resort, which has real villas with private courtyards including either a pool or spa. The nearby diving is OK but best diving there is Apo Island (a drawback is that you have to drive 45 minutes to the boat ramp that goes over there)
In Bohol, Hennan Resort (the former Alona Palm) also has deluxe villas and a great restaurant, plus the best beach I have been to in the Philippines. Diving can be variable there however
Posted 01 February 2013 - 02:22 PM
- Thanks for the suggestions. I'm not looking at only Aniloa. perhaps something with better general diving would be better. Aniloa has some pretty reefs but many of the sites that I visited were macro specific.

You should try Ocean Vida at Malapascua (http://www.ocean-vida.com)
The accommodations are quite nice, with a beautifull beach at front and the dive with the thresher sharks is amazing!
I have been there with a group of 11 friends last year and has been a fantastic diving holidays.

Slowly, but surely, more details are emerging about the Fifty Shades of Grey movie. It almost seems like the producers themselves are getting antsy! Because now, after hearing for months who fans want to play the lead roles, we're hearing who the suits behind the flick may be hoping to cast.
Yesterday, we caught wind of Alex Pettyfer being the closest thing to a legit contender for Christian Grey -- thanks to director Gus Van Sant -- and today ... HollywoodLife.com is reporting that "an insider VERY close to the production" says if producers Dana Brunetti and Michael De Luca have their way, Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence will step into the role of Anastasia Steele. This insider also spilled on the production schedule and location ...
Apparently, they'll begin rolling in London (whaaa??) in a year -- as in spring 2014. Guess we can kiss that rumored summer 2014 release date goodbye. Not that surprising, though, being that they don't even have a script, and filming/post-production can take a year or more. That said, if this is true, seems as though we'll be seeing Christian and Ana on the big screen in 2015. Maybe!
More from The Stir: '50 Shades of Grey' Frontrunner Breaks Her Silence on Starring as Anastasia
And Jennifer Lawrence as Ana, eh? Sounds like the producers are just itching to work with her, because she's A Name and they want to bring Fifty Shades to the next level with some serious talent. I don't blame them, but at the same time, is she really the right fit? I'm not seeing it. Maybe as Kate Kavanaugh, but not as innocent, naive Ana. She may be the right age, but she comes off as too mature, edgy, sarcastic. Plus, she's got plenty on her plate with the Hunger Games trilogy. Will she even be done playing Katniss by the time this starts filming? Doubtful.
But hey, if she does nab the part, they could do worse than a twice-nominated, once awarded Oscar-worthy actress!
How do you feel about the possibility of JLaw as Ana? What about the belated filming?

DuPont KOCIDE 101 may be applied as an aerial, ground dilute or ground concentrate spray unless specifically directed otherwise in the specific crop directions.
The per acre use rate of KOCIDE 101 is applicable for both dilute and concentrate spraying. Depending upon the equipment used and the specific crop, the spray volume applied per acre will differ. Refer to Minimum Recommended Spray Volume Table. Complete spray coverage is essential to assure optimum performance from KOCIDE 101. When treating by aerial application or with low volume application equipment, unless you have had specific previous experience, it is advisable to test for compatibility and tolerance to crop injury prior to full scale commercial utilization.
Consult the KOCIDE 101 label for specific rates and timing of application by crop. Where application rates and intervals are provided in a range (e.g. 4 to 12 pounds and 7 to 10 days), the higher rates and shorter spray intervals are recommended when rainfall is heavy and/or disease pressure is high. Use the higher rates for large mature tree crops.
- KOCIDE 101 should not be applied in a spray solution having a pH of less than 6.5 as phytotoxicity may occur.
- Do not tank mix KOCIDE 101 with "Aliette" fungicide for use on any registered crops unless appropriate precautions have been taken to buffer the spray solution because severe phytotoxicity may result. Use in accordance with the most restrictive of label limitations and precautions. No label dosage rates should be exceeded. This product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing.
- This product may be reactive on masonry and metal surfaces such as galvanized roofing. Avoid contact with metal surfaces. Do not spray cars, houses, lawn furniture, etc.
- Environmental conditions such as extended periods of wet weather, acid rain, etc. which alter the pH of the leaf surface may affect the performance of KOCIDE 101, resulting in possible phytotoxicity or loss of effectiveness.
- Agricultural chemicals may perform in an unpredictable manner when tank mixed, especially where several products are involved. Reduced effect on pests or crop injury may occur. Unless recommended on the label or by a state/local expert, it is advisable to test for compatibility and potential crop injury prior to full scale commercial utilization of a new tank mix; otherwise, tank mixing should not be undertaken.
- It must be determined if proper application equipment is available and if waste associated with its use can be properly handled. Agricultural chemicals are often reactive with the materials used in the construction of application equipment, such as aluminum, rubber, and some synthetic materials. This factor should be taken into consideration when selecting proper application equipment. It is necessary that all application equipment be thoroughly flushed with clean water after each day's use.
- Do not apply this product through any irrigation (chemigation) system using aluminum parts or components as damage to the system may occur. Such application is prohibited regardless of whether the irrigation system is flushed with water after use of this product.
- Apply this product only through one or more of the following types of systems: sprinkler, including center pivot, lateral move, traveler, big gun, or plastic pipe solid set system(s) which contain no aluminum parts or components. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system.
- While volume is important in obtaining full spray coverage, often factors such as foliage density, environmental conditions and sprayer calibration have a greater impact. Always be sure that sprayers are calibrated to spray equipment manufacturer's specifications and environmental conditions are within those recommended by State and local regulatory authorities.
- When mixing, fill the spray tank one-half full with water. Add DuPont KOCIDE 101 slowly to tank while hydraulic or mechanical agitation is operating and continue filling with water. DO NOT PRE-MIX OR SLURRY KOCIDE 101. Spreaders, stickers, insecticides, nutrients, etc. should be added last. If compatibility is in question, use the Compatibility Jar Test before mixing a whole tank or contact your chemical supplier. Observe all precautions and limitations on the labels of all products used in mixtures.
Application of KOCIDE 101 made to all crops listed on the label at rates and stages of growth indicated on the label, at least 24 hours prior to anticipated frost conditions, will afford control of ice nucleating bacteria (Pseudomonas syringae, Erwinia herbicola, and Pseudomonas fluorescens) and may therefore provide some protection against light frost. Not recommended for those geographical areas where weather conditions favor severe frost.
Use Instructions
Make first application before winter rains begin. A second application in early spring should be made if disease is severe. Apply the higher rates for heavy disease pressure or when conditions favor disease development.

Challengers experience Zumba at YMCAs
MINSTER — After participants in the Grand Health Challenge learned about healthy food choices last month at Pantry Pride, they went on location again this month to learn about healthy fitness choices.
On Tuesday, people visited the Wapakoneta Family YMCA, Auglaize-Mercer YMCA North, in Celina, and Auglaize-Mercer YMCA South, in Minster, and participated in tours of the facilities, including the weight room, cardio room, aerobic track and the pool area, along with a YMCA employee explaining each portion of the tour in depth.
After the tours concluded, attendees could participate in a brief 30-minute Zumba class. At the Auglaize-Mercer YMCA South, Kathy Manbeck turned up the music and demonstrated key moves for the exercise. She has been teaching Zumba classes for two years, and has been taking the class for five years.
"The reason I like it is because it's fun, it's like a party," Manbeck said of Zumba. "You don't even know your burning calories."
The concept of Zumba was created by dancer and choreographer Alberto "Beto" Perez in the mid 1990s. This Latin inspired fitness was created one day when he walked into his class and realized he had forgotten his music for his aerobics class, so he grabbed the tapes he had on hand and the tapes were filled with songs including the traditional Latin salsa and merengue music, and this was music he grew up listening to. He is a native of Columbia, South America.
Perez improvised the entire class using the non-traditional aerobics music, and from this class, a new fitness program was born — Zumba.
Zumba classes are held in more 140,000 locations throughout more than 150 countries.
Manbeck told the class of this story and noted this class is circuit training, as the warm-up is high intensity, and the workout includes lunges and squats, and also includes choreographed dances with different moves, using every part of the body.
"Seventy percent of the class is Zumba music, and the other 30 percent is filled in with other music," Manbeck said.
The local YMCAs offers their classes for both members and non-members, and they also have a $5 drop in fee available for various fitness classes.
"It's a good way to try it out," Manbeck said. "The whole thing is like a dance party so it doesn't feel like exercise."
Wapakoneta Daily News Publisher Deb Zwez said the local YMCAs have been a great partner with the Grand Health Challenge.
She mentioned Zumba is a newer aerobics exercise by getting the heart rate going while it is an activity participants can do to keep healthy.
Zwez explained the whole idea of the Grand Health Challenge is to "adopt healthier habits."
She said the best goal is to start living a healthier life, and this includes healthy eating and exercise choices.
She said she wanted to introduce new exercises and fitness options to the participant to take advantage of in while they participate in the Grand Health Challenge and after the challenge is completed.
Auglaize-Mercer YMCA South Program Director Heather Wenning talked to the group about the benefits of the facility, as she gave a tour of the pool.
"The biggest perk is health and fitness for now and in the future," Wenning said. "As a parent, it's a good trait to pass on to the kids —even children need exercise."
She explained if the children see their parents exercise, then this will become second nature to the children, and something they can take with them as they grow older.
"Children need to be involved with health and fitness," Wenning said. "As a YMCA, we reach out and teach kids fun, health and safety."

At the heart of this band is their unified belief, both in each other and the music they play. Lifelong Guns N' Roses fans, this is a band that grew up in the heyday of Nirvana and Oasis, and remember a time when Rock music mattered not just to rock music fans, but to the world.
J.O.S. believe we live in an age of lowered expectations, where tweets mean more than tracks, where social media means more than song writing and where 'Likes' mean more than real fans. In an industry where labels would rather invest in talent shows rather than songwriters, where pop stars are porn stars, where rap stars are disconnected from their roots and where rock stars have become a distant memory, J.O.S. are dedicated to putting music back at the heart of the industry, and back into the hands of musicians.
These combined passions for what they do and who they do it for is encapsulated and brought to life in their eponymous debut EP. Recorded in just 2 days, the record draws on their influences from the past and gives the listener a glimpse of what is possible for the future.
About The Video:One of J.O.S.'s early songs, the light and shade of the video reflects the downbeat lyrics and upbeat music. A song about dealing with the pressures everyone faces, but not getting beaten down by them, it combines the heaviness of Grunge with the melodies of 60s rock. Get Up proves modern rock can be both melodic and heavy. Director: Sophie Gost
