A group of strangers risk death along the New York State Thruway to save a soldier from a burning truck. The true story, as told by football legend Jim Brown, of how the number 44 rose to prominence at Syracuse University. The beautiful yet tragic connection between Vice President Joseph Biden and Syracuse. The impossible account of how Eric Carle, one of the world's great children's authors, found his way to a childhood friend through a photograph taken in Syracuse more than eighty years ago.

All these tales can be found in The Soul of Central New York, a collection of columns by Sean Kirst that spans almost a quarter-century. During his long career as a writer for the Syracuse Post-Standard, Kirst won some of the most prestigious honors in journalism, including the Ernie Pyle Award, given annually to one American writer who best captures the hopes and dreams of everyday Americans.

For Kirst, his canvas is Syracuse, an upstate city of staggering beauty and profound struggle. In this book, readers will find a nuanced explanation of how Syracuse is intertwined with the spiritual roots of the Six Nations, as well as a soliloquy from a grieving father whose son was lost to violence on the streets. In these emotional contradictions--in the resilience, love, and heart-break of its people--Kirst offers a vivid portrait of his city and, in the end, gives readers hope.

Best as hand lotion. My keyboard is happy :-)
Scent: Lavender, Size: 32 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I use this lotion several times a day after handwashing. I think it's meant for frequent use as a hand lotion, therefore the giant size bottle and light, non-greasy, quick absorption formula. It does not leave a palpable film on my hands or on surfaces I touch, such as my phone, sunglasses, car doors, light switches, keyboard, remote control, etc. Also has a very matte finish. Great in hot weather when you don't want to feel coated. Not sufficiently emollient to be a body lotion. The lavender scent is close to that of a lavender plant, ie somewhat herbal.

Great for and Inexpensive Lotion
Scent: Aloe & White Tea, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Aloe & White Tea, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I wanted to get lotion that smells like BVLGARI Thé Blanc Eau De Toilette and all my research pointed to this; while it doesn't smell exactly like it...it comes close. The smell clean smell and not too strong, which I like...and the price is without a doubt much better than the real thing. So, for an inexpensive body lotion, I do recommend it, even if it's not an exact match for Bvlgari.

great if you wanna just keep buying more and never actually moisturize
Scent: Aloe & White Tea, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
this is the least moisturizing lotion I have ever used in my entire life. it goes on so thick and smooth and feels great and smells great but then a couple hours later my skin feels dry and needs more.. and if you put it on at night, when you wake up the next morning, your skin is completely ashy and flaky. It’s absolutely awful.
