"The only thing I'm going to do is shoot it"
That police in St. Clair Shores in Michigan saw killing a dog as the preferable way to stop her barking has been pretty well documented in dash cam videos that have become public.
As soon as they pulled up at the scene, their dashboard camera recorded remarks they were making inside their patrol car, like "The only thing I'm going to do is shoot it" and "I don't do snares. I don't do dogs … I'll shoot the f—ing thing."
But why there were 15 bullet holes in Lexie, a dog police officers only admitted to shooting four times, is a question that may go unanswered — at least until a federal lawsuit filed by the dog's owner comes to trial.
The lawsuit, filed earlier this month, stems from the November 2013 shooting of Lexie, a 44-pound mixed breed who was the subject of a barking dog complaint filed by a neighbor.
Lexie's owner, Brittay Preston, filed the lawsuit against the city of St. Clair Shores, two police officers and an animal control officer, according to Fox News in Detroit. It alleges a violation of her Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable seizure.
The lawsuit seeks money damages, and assurances that St. Clair Township police will "train their officers so that there's not another incident where they respond to a barking dog complaint by killing it," said Preston's attorney, Chris Olson.
Preston was at work and the dog was under the care of a grandfather, who suffers from dementia and forgot to let Lexie back inside during a cold night.
Officers, after discussing their alternatives in the patrol car, approached the home and eventually persuaded the grandfather to let the dog in the house. After he agreed to do so, they shot the dog saying she lunged at them in a threatening manner.
Attorney Olson said the discussion recorded by the dash came shows the shooting was premeditated.
"Neighbors complained of a dog that was barking. [Police] showed up. The first thing that they said out of their mouths was they don't like dogs; they don't do dogs; they're going to shoot the dog anyway. And that's exactly what they did," he said.
"Then they shot the dog again, instead of trying to take care of the dog, getting some care of the dog to prevent it from dying, they did what they intended to do. They made sure that the dog died. They shot it again, and then the dog walked into the animal control van and then when we picked up the dog it had extra bullet holes," he added.
A necropsy conducted by a veterinarians found 15 bullet holes in Lexie.
Officers, after shooting and wounding the dog, can be heard discussing what to do next, including "choking it out" and "using a shovel," according to the lawsuit.
One officer remarked that would be a bad idea because "you know this is going to be all over Facebook in about an hour."
"We're saddened when anyone loses a pet, but since the city and its employees are being sued, the city will certainly defend the lawsuit," St. Clair Shores City Attorney Robert Ihrie said in a statement. "The complaint that was filed is filled with innuendo, speculation and half truths, and I have no doubt when it's held up to the light of day, the truth will bear itself out in court."

Dachshund fights off bear 100 times his size
A four-pound dachshund is being credited with scaring off a 400-pound bear and keeping it from harming a group of friends on a trip through the woods in Michigan.
The dog, named Bradley, was killed in the effort, but he just might have saved the lives of the humans his owner believes he was protecting.
"I believe honestly the outcome would've been different if Brad had not been with them," John Force, Bradley's owner said. "If the bear had attacked Brad, it certainly would've attacked the men who were bigger than Brad."
On Saturday, a group of friends visiting the Forces ventured into the woods in Oscoda County on a golf cart, taking Bradley along for the ride, according to Upnorthlive.com
When they came across a mother bear and her cubs they stopped. As the bear and men stared at each other, Bradley jumped out and ran at the bear.
"Brad jumped off the golf cart and attacked the big bear, they got into a scuffle," Force said.
Bradley ran back to the golf cart, but his bite wounds were severe and he died an hour later.
"He was only four to five pounds, but in his mind I think he thought he was 100 pounds," said Lisa Force, John's wife.
"…He was a little fighter a little scrapper," John Force said, "and he didn't think twice about attacking a bear. I guarantee you, he would have did it again."

Traumatized dog finds some deer friends
Eleven days after Lacy, a Great Dane, ran away from a highway accident in Michigan she was found and returned to her owner.
But the odd part of this story came at the nine-day mark, when Lacy's owner, Jamie Brill, who'd been searching for days with her boyfriend, spotted her dog in a field, through a pair of binoculars.
Lacy was standing next to two adult whitetail does and two fawns.
"Mark handed me the binoculars and said, 'Do you believe this?' I looked, and Lacy was licking the head of one of the fawns," Brill told Lansing State Journal columnist John Schneider.
When Brill tried calling Lacy from afar, she didn't budge, remaining instead with the deer.
Brill, stationed with the U.S. Navy in Grand Rapids, rolled her Mini Cooper on Interstate 96 on Aug. 11. Her two dogs – Lacy and Koko – were in the car. Brill was taken to the hospital. Koko was taken to a veterinarian, and Lacy ran off.
Two days after Lacy was spotted hobnobbing with the deer, Schneider, the newspaper columnist, got a call from a man who had spotted Lacy — whose disappearance by then had become a big story.
Schneider called Brill in Grand Rapids, and she called a Lansing veterinarian who had been involved in the search and agreed to check out the sighting.
Veterinarian Leslie Ortlieb drove to the vacant house and on its porch saw Lacy, who was described as being a skittish sort even before the accident.
But Ortlieb apparently said the right words: "Do you want to go see Koko?"
The Great Dane walked up to her and got into her car.
Lacy was emaciated and had a small cut on her leg, but otherwise appeared in good health.

"Dog" returned, 76 years later
Seventy-six years after he checked it out, Mark McKee has returned "A Dog of Flanders" to a Michigan library.
No late fees will be charged.
In 1934, McKee, then a 13-year-old, checked out "A Dog of Flanders" by English author Marie Louise de la Ramee, from the Mount Clemens Public Library in Michigan.
Seventy-six years later, he found it among his possesions and mailed it back, according to an Associated Press report.
McKee, now 89, said in a letter to the library that he was initially "entranced by the book and kept it with my prized possession." Later, it got lost in the shuffle of life until he recently discovered it.
"My conscience took over," wrote McKee, who is former publisher of The Macomb Daily in Michigan, and now a winter resident of Chandler, Arizona.
"A Dog of Flanders," an 1872 novel published under the pseudonym "Ouida," is about a Flemish orphan named Nello who befriends an abused dog named Patrasche.
Library Director Donald Worrell Jr. said he was thrilled to get the book back.
In his letter, McKee said he estimated the fine on a book overdue for 76 years could total thousands of dollars. But Worrell said there won't be a fine.
"We figure the story is better than the money," Worrell said.

Days out … Dads Inn … Y not?
We didn't know the whole story behind this, but sometime this summer a motel changed names in Lansing, Michigan.
With the simple switch of one gigantic yellow plastic backlit letter, what was once a Days Inn, became Dads Inn.
We guessed that the Days Inn franchise shut down, leaving a multi-story motel vacant. We guessed that some guy — likely a dad — stepped in and took over, and either didn't want to be a Days Inn or wasn't accepted by the chain.
In any case, "Days" became "Dads." Maybe the "Y" was already missing or damaged. Maybe the new owner spent some time reviewing the possibilities: Dabs Inn, Dags Inn, Dals Inn, Dans Inn, Dars Inn, Dats Inn.
He opted for another "D" though, not quite the same width as the first "D," and a little brighter yellow.
After having some fun conjecturing, we looked up the facts — as initially reported the Lansing Journal.
Seems the Parsippany, N.J.-based hotel chain parted ways with its south Lansing franchisee, Frank Yaldoo, after Yaldoo declined to spruce up the place. The chain wanted him to spend more than $200,000 to replace beds, update computers and — of all things — change its signs.
The article didn't mention where the new "D" came from, or whether Yaldoo is a dad, but we're guessing he's a thrifty guy.

No more dogs in Ann Arbor bookstore
The Borders bookstore in downtown Ann Arbor is dog-friendly no more.
After years of allowing dogs, the bookstore has decided to enforce the chain's company-wide policy prohibiting pets from entering.
"We prioritize the safety and happiness of our customers," Borders spokeswoman Mary Davis said. "We think that it's important to put this particular store in line with our other stores, which currently only allow service dogs."
AnnArbor.com reports that the store's general manager said she had "received a number of complaints about the dogs, some of which she described as 'nasty,'" (meaning the complaints, I'm pretty sure, and not the dogs).
Borders declined to specify the nature of the complaints. At least one was made to county health authorities, who pointed out the store, since it houses a coffee shop, is licensed as a food service establishment.
Some patrons expressed sadness about the new no-dog policy.
"My dog has never fought with another dog or eaten a book or a person," said Marcia Polenberg, who was standing outside the store with her dog, Caravaggio. "I don't know that this is a good policy. I will be much less inclined to shop here."

Chihuahua hoarder gets probation
The Michigan man charged with animal cruelty after authorities found hundreds of Chihuahuas in his home, live and dead, pleaded guilty in a plea agreement yesterday.
Kenneth Lang Jr. of Dearborn, will serve five years' probation under supervision of a Wayne County mental health court.
Lang, 56, admitted in the plea that the animals in his home were subjected to abusive conditions because he was overwhelmed by their sheer numbers, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Under the terms of the plea agreement, Lang will not be permitted to own any animals. He's also required to make $3,000 restitution to the Animal Legal Defense Fund for the examination of the dead dogs, and restitution to the city of Dearborn.
Lang's lawyer, James Schmier, said Lang has an IQ of about 70 and suffers from several psychiatric conditions. "He's a very human guy with a very human story, and with very human frailties," the lawyer said.
Lang was found living in squalid conditions with more than 100 live Chihuahuas and more than 100 dead ones found frozen in freezers. The prosecutors said of the 105 that were rescued, all but 13 have been successfully adopted. Those are living in a no-kill shelter.

P-34 is a closed circuit compressed oxygen respirator for individual protection in unsuitable for breathing areas. P-34 was developed for mine rescue and technical operations in coal mines and other industrial areas where respiratory protection is needed. Moreover with additional attachment it can be used for artificial pulmonary ventilation of a victim.
Inhaled air is purified from carbon dioxide by the soda lime cartridge. P-34 can be applied in environments from minus 20 to plus 60 degrees Celsius. If respirator is used at high temperatures the breathing gas is cooled by the water ice.
P-34 has wider temperature range than most compressed air and compressed oxygen systems, it has smaller dimensions and weight, lower maintenance cost and it creates very comfortable conditions for breathing. The respirator is completed with a mouthpiece or with a breathing mask.

CHICAGO, April 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Performics, the performance marketing firm owned by Publicis Groupe, released today findings from "S-Net: A Study on Social Media Usage & Behavior." The study of nearly 3,000 active U.S. social networkers highlights mothers as more versatile, present, active and engaged users of social networking sites, compared to other women.
According to the study, mothers are approximately 61% more likely than other women to own a smartphone. They are also more likely to be active on social networking sites; for example, they are 16% more likely to visit Facebook daily and 46% more likely to visit Google + daily. Additionally, they are 75% more likely than other women to trust information they receive from companies through social networking sites.
"Moms continue to take advantage of the little spare time they have by utilizing all the tools at their disposal. This includes their mobile devices and social networks," notes Daina Middleton, Global CEO of Performics. "Increasingly, as a segment of the social networking population, moms perception is their voice can be leveraged to influence, participate with, and promote brands."
The study shows that moms, more so than non-moms and the general public, trust brands on social sites and often look to that interaction as the primary point of contact. Given that mom bloggers, a sub category, control more than two trillion dollars worth of purchase power, this is a significant finding.
For example, they are 45% more likely to make a purchase as a result of a recommendation on a social networking site than other women. In fact, the top industries most affected by this behavior include:
- Apparel: Moms are 54% more likely to make an apparel purchase
- Automobile: Moms are 64% more likely to make an automobile purchase
- Travel: Moms are 46% more likely to make a travel purchase
The data also shows that moms actively champion their favorite companies and brands on social media. These "mombassadors" are more likely than other women to:
- Recommend companies/brands via social sites (34%)
- Discuss companies/brands on social sites after seeing an ad elsewhere (48%)
- Talk about companies/brands they follow on Facebook (24%)

"Brands have an opportunity to motivate moms to participate through their social media properties," adds Middleton. "In this age of participation, moms expect a constructive, two-way relationship. To stay current, build loyalty and, in many cases, drive sales, brands must provide that meaningful connection with their customers."

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- The Minnesota Twins have signed right-hander Mike Pelfrey and catcher Kurt Suzuki.
The contracts were finalized Monday. Pelfrey agreed more than a week ago to an $11 million, two-year deal. Suzuki agreed Friday to a $2.75 million, one-year deal.
Pelfrey went 5-13 with a 5.19 ERA in 29 starts last season, his first after Tommy John ligament replacement surgery on his elbow. He'll return to the rotation with Kevin Correia, with Ricky Nolasco and Phil Hughes now at the top. One spot will be open in spring training.
The 30-year-old Suzuki will back up prospect Josmil Pinto, with Joe Mauer moving to first base and Ryan Doumit traded to Atlanta.
To make room on the 40-man roster, the Twins sent outfielder Darin Mastroianni outright to Triple-A Rochester.

What I Found in My Two-Year-Old Son's Playroom.
Three bears lie on the floor, facedown, as if killed execution-style.
A blue convertible is tipped over and pinned against a wall. A clown sits inside.
In a three-story house, all of the furniture is turned upside down. A cowboy lies on his back on the third floor, near a bed but not in it. On the first floor is a slice of pizza as big as the cowboy.
A New York City bus is overturned next to a bulldozer bearing a cheerful expression and a small duck.
Various plates, cups, and utensils are strewn about the floor. There is also a teapot turned upside down. In the middle sits a smiling Winnie the Pooh with a hammer nearby.
A three-piece train, which is meant to transport animals to a circus, is flipped on its side with all cars disconnected from one another. The tiger, elephant, and monkey are nowhere to be seen.
A hula dancer is pinned beneath an enormous rabbit. Both are smiling.
An amusement park is in shambles: the ferris wheel is on its side; the airplanes have been removed from the airplane ride; and the highest part of the roller coaster has been snapped off. A balloon bearing the phrase "Get Well Soon!" hovers above.
Raggedy Ann is splayed on her back inside a large wicker basket. Her leg is in the mouth of Kermit the Frog.
A bookshelf, removed from the three-story house descrbed earlier, lies on the vinyl flooring across the room, near the washing machine. A smiling ape sits on top of it.

(SportsNetwork.com) - The Oakland Raiders are seemingly always wild cards when it comes to the NFL Draft but 2014 could see the organization take a more conventional approach.
General manager Reggie McKenzie could go in a number of directions with the No. 5 overall pick and the Raiders are obviously one of a number of teams in the top five who are unsettled at the quarterback position. That said, Oakland could also use help on both lines as well as a big-play threat at receiver.
McKenzie brought a ton of money into the offseason and did a nice job plugging holes for the short-term, be it trading for veteran signal caller Matt Schaub or signing defensive lineman Justin Tuck, linebacker LaMarr Woodley and offensive tackle Austin Howard.
He and head coach Dennis Allen remain on very short leashes, though, so risking everything on a quarterback like Johnny Manziel or Blake Bortles seems unlikely.
The added incentive to win now should turn Oakland toward a safer prospect and snaring Clemson receiver Sammy Watkins is as secure as it gets in this draft.
If Watkins is gone, that could mean Buffalo linebacker Khalil Mack or Auburn left tackle Greg Robinson would fall to No. 5 and both would serve as nice alternatives for the Raiders.
2013 Record: 4-12
Top Needs: QB, OL, DE, WR
First Three Picks: No. 5, No. 36, No. 67
Number of Selections: 7 (1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 7, 7)
CALLING THE SHOTS: McKenzie gets his third and possibly final try to turn around the Raiders after consecutive 4-12 seasons. Part of his madness came to fruition already as he brought $60 million-plus into free agency and snared some big names. The draft remains more important to building a team, however, so McKenzie needs to start scoring more consistently there.
RECENT FIRST ROUND HISTORY: 2013 - D.J. Hayden (CB, Houston); 2012 - none; 2011 - none; 2010 - Rolando McClain (LB, Alabama); 2009 - Darrius Heyward-Bey (WR, Maryland); 2008 - Darren McFadden (RB, Arkansas); 2007 - JaMarcus Russell (QB, LSU); 2006 - Michael Huff (S, Texas); 2005 - Fabian Washington (CB, Nebraska); 2004 - Robert Gallery (OT, Iowa); 2003 - Nnamdi Asomugha (CB, California), Tyler Brayton (DE, Colorado).

"It's been a mess for years and years and years. I don't think people we've had in there before Paul Kelly were helping it at all. There are a lot of untrustworthy people who have done some untrustworthy things.
"I've seen a lot of mishandling of money, mishandling of arbitration cases, mishandling of hiring help for the PA that has been a waste of the PA's money. They need to do something right now to get some legitimacy back into the organization and bring some strength to the players and bring some honesty and trustworthiness between the players and the people who are heading the PA. Before we get that, we're going to struggle with our membership."

"Survivor" doesn't usually recruit players with Minnesota ties, but the show is making an exception for this upcoming season.
Reed Kelly, 31, may be best known for appearing in Broadway productions of "Wicked" and "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark." But around these parts, he's simply the son of former St. Paul Mayor Randy Kelly.
Kelly will compete against his boyfriend, composer Josh Canfield, in a season in which loved ones will be pitted against each other.
Kelly isn't the highest profile contestant. That honor goes to former Atlanta Braves pitcher John Rocker.
"Survivor: San Juan Del Sur" premieres Sept. 24 on WCCO, Ch. 4.
The old Brave New Workshop at 2605 Hennepin Av. S., Minneapolis, has been sold and will be rebranded as a performance space operated by a new nonprofit.
Dudley Riggs had moved his comedy troupe into the building in the early 1960s and it served as home to shows almost continuously until 2011, when the owners of the business moved the club downtown.
Still, the Workshop was using the 2605 Hennepin space as the Brave New Institute School, where classes in improvisation and other stagecraft were held. No one from the Workshop was available to comment on the future of that program. Mike Fotis and Joe Bozic, both veterans who had performed on stage, had been co-directors of the school. They both left earlier this year for other jobs. The Brave New Workshop business is owned by John Sweeney and Jenni Lilledahl, who purchased it in 1997 from Riggs.
The theater, which had about 200 seats, will be remodeled and operated as the Phoenix Theatre. A nonprofit called The Arts' Nest is being launched to program the space, according to the group's executive director, Jenna Papke.
Papke said the purchase price was $485,000 and the buyer was an individual who has organized a limited liability partnership called ERK. She did not identify the person, other than to say he or she is on the Arts' Nest board of directors. The building is being rented to The Arts' Nest for the cost of taxes and insurance, Papke said. Records show that the 2014 tax bill was about $25,000.
Those documents also show that the previous owner was RICMAR LLC, with an address for Richard Kohn of Cumberland, Wis.
Papke said the new space will open in November. Mission Theatre Company will be the first company to use the theater, with a new work by playwright Sam Graber. The play, "Detainee," will run Nov. 6-15.
Hundreds of actors and writers found their legs in The Brave New Workshop at 2605 Hennepin. Al Franken and Tom Davis did shows there. Hollywood screenwriter Pat Proft called the theater one of best rooms for comedy because of the way laughter resounded off the walls. Sweeney and Lilledahl had moved BNW shows to Calhoun Square for about three years but moved back in 2002.

Acme Comedy Co. is taking its show on the road in the biggest way possible.
Louis Lee, the owner of the Minneapolis club, is taking three comedians to Hong Kong, Singapore and Macau, the first time the Acme brand has traveled outside of North America.
Lee, who is from Hong Kong, thinks there's a lot of potential in an area that is just starting to get a taste of American comedy through movies and TV sitcoms.
"It's like the '80s were over here," Lee said."Beyond bars and restaurants and hotels, there really isn't a place for comedy yet. But I think it's in the early stages of it happening. The main reason I'm doing this is to see how feasible it is and how the media reacts."
Lee purposely picked three comics -- Pete Lee, Tom Segura and Chad Daniels -- who have never performed in the area.
"That part of Asia gets the same 10 or 15 guys all the time," he said. "I want to try to bring something new and generate some interest over there."
No word yet if the frequent flyer miles go to the comedians or Acme.
"Native Man the Musical" was among sold-out shows at weekend one of the Fringe Festival. Image provided by Fringe Festival.
Ticket sales for the opening weekend of Minnesota Fringe Festival were almost exactly the same as last year, said Fringe officials Monday.
In the first four days of the Festial, the Fringe issued 17,700 tickets to 347 performances, compared to 17,780 tickets to 384 performances in 2013.
"Last year, we had more performances during the opening weekend, but we have almost identical ticket sales this year," said Executive Director Jeff Larson, "which means our average house size is larger this year."
There were several sold-out shows over the weekend, including:
"The History of Minnesota – Unscripted" presented by The Theater of Public Policy
"The Finkles' Theater Show!!!" presented by Ryan Lear and Rachel Petrie

Well... it's a big ol' serving of humble pie for me today as it wasn't long ago, on this very thread, I proclaimed a decidedly blase appreciation for his Irish Green Tweedness. So what did I do last night with the better part of an unexpected influx of two Ben Franklins? Yep... ordered me up a 4.0 ouncer from Wallgreens.com, which naturally left me pondering the obvious question: how did this happen!?!
Was it the Creed hype machine subconsciously eating away at my willpower to "just say no" (it is my first Creed purchase), or the vaguely mysterious allure of that iconic flat black flask? Conspicuous consumerism plain and simple? Perhaps it was the notion that if you're really into this whole fragrance ________ (hobby, quest, obsession, fill in the blank), a handful of classics are simply on the "must have" list. I hardly ever wear Guerlain Vetiver or Azzaro Pour Homme, but I'm not planning on getting rid of them either. There's also something about the "Swiss Army knife" factor that I could tell was drawing me in. I suspect all of these elements were swirling around in the back of my mind to varying degrees.
And how about the scent itself? As my second sample decant ran out I found myself regularly unscrewing the sprayer to get a whiff, as if trying to figure out what it is about GIT that's loved by so many. Frankly though, I think it was beginning to dawn on me that I am, in fact, one of those many. By the way, this sequence has been an indicator of an imminent purchase on more than one occasion. LV's Sandalo, Sycomore and Kyoto all fell into this category. That is, if you find yourself regularly sniffing the damned empty bottle, you're a gonner!
So yes... humble pie with a side of crow for me today. Now I'm just curious to see what it's like on extended wearings, not worrying about quantity. I'll be happy to report on Wallgreens/Fragrancenet May shipping batch # and impressions if anyone's interested.

Welcome to the cult. I have a green kool-aid moustache, myself.
I own a GIT bottle whit number: A3210A01. Can someone help me interpret this number? What does it mean?
My GIT is the 2008 batch and it is excellent. My SMW is 2007, and it is great as well. I wore 3 sprays of SMW today and it is projecting and holding up well. So, I guess my Creeds are aging a little, but it does not seem to be affecting them at all.
I bought a bottle of GIT from walgreens a while back. im getting it back into my rotation and i just realized it smells very damp. like the initial spray is very cloying and so is the scent after a couple hours. like it just smells really thick. i thought git was suppose to be light and airy. are any of your git smells thick/damp?
Sounds like a good description of my GIT. Very heavy and thick at first. Very fresh but not light and airy at all. maybe youre spraying too much. It is a very strong scent.

*BIG SALE- Chanel, Dior, Creed, Mona di Orio, Puredistance....
Should probably be in the other threads about female compliments but I'm adding it here because this is where the serious GIT lovers hang out. I got a 'you smell really nice' at 5pm after walking past a girl. I applied it at 6:15am when I got dressed. I wouldn't have said it was projecting that much after so many hours but it obviously was. I could still smell it on myself though if I put my wrist to my nose.
I`m (maby) planing to buy a new GIT bottle tomorrow. Are there any signs on the box that show the lot-number? I don`t think the S-A will allow me to open the box and check the bottle..
The sticker that contains the barcode (usually on the bottom of the box) will reference the Lot-number.
If you are worried about batch variation, get one you are happy with, but if they object to you opening before buying, once bought and whilst at the checkout in view of the SA, open it and if the lot per the bottle is different and you wish to exchange, I would be very surprised if he/she objected.
As I am sure you are aware, the 2011 batches for GIT have been very good, and i'm certainly not aware of a bad one.
Good luck, and enjoy! It's a fantastic fragrance.
the 4th and 5th digits of the lot number tells you the year it was made in.
Anyone recently just order GIT from walgreens? I just ordered mine yesterday and hoping I get a 2011 batch..
Just ordered another from Walgreens too, curious to see what batch I get and how it compares to my first.
Just received today 6/7/2012. Lot: A3211X03. 2011 batch, smells amazing. Only problem is that it came with a very loose cap and was leaking a little bit.. other than that.. good stuff.
Despite the high cost and great quality most of the time, Creed can be maddeningly inconsistent when it comes to quality control. I have made peace with it. I can always just say no.
EDIT: Just sprayed one spray on my neck and it smells totally different than my 2010... smelling it, I think the 2010 may have started out this way, but it's almost gone now and really has none of this green/freshness the 2011 has at the beginning. I wonder if my memory is shady or if the 2010 just never smelled this way.

Also, can someone explain the deal with the insert in my box that is only written in Arabic? I searched around and saw mention of it but no real explanations. Thought it was kind of odd, especially since the first one I got had an English one in there.
I finally "get" Green Irish Tweed -- and like it a lot. The greatest thing about it is the way it extends and heightens that fresh from the shower feeling for hours.
As a fragrance newbie in 2009 I posted a negative review of GIT. I even thought it smelled like Cool Water. Now I know Cool Water is a cheap, synthetic, sweet and minty scent with a grape Kool-Aid accord. GIT is a more natural smelling fragrance, green herbal, sharp, slightly bitter, driven by verbena and violets. The fragrances do not have any notes in common.
Green Irish Tweed Alert! Gentlemen, GIT is available from Walgreens for only $111.44 for 4 ounces when you use the code JUNE20 (no space) by June 20th! Reports have been that they are shipping the very excellent 2011 batch, although I can make no guarantees.

I caved and bought the 4oz bottle from Walgreens. One of my favorite scents. I hope I get a good bottle
Just picked up a GIT 2011 x03 batch yesterday. My first GIT, whats your guys opinion for sprays and where? Thanks....
I just got MI and it kinda reminds me of GIT in a way...really different but I guess they come from a similar heritage.
My Starting Lineup: MI, Pure Malt, GIT, LIDGE, Clive Christian C, LaNuit, Royal Oud, Aventus, Gucci II, Guerlain Homme Intense, L'Humaniste, VIW, D & G PH, Dior Homme Sport, DHI, Allure Edition Blanche, Bentley Intense, Bois du Portugal. Signature Scent: Bergamote 22/Verdon Au Toilette.
It's their basenotes. They are fairly common and only differ in the top notes.
Got my GIT from Walgreens today. Was super enthused with everyone saying how good theirs was. I received batch # A3211X04 & not the 03 everyone was raving about. Just tried mine out, and I'm really disappointed. It's not nearly as fresh as the samples and such I've tried before. Plus the sprayer is leaking a little. Gonna see if it gets any better throughout the day, and I want to see the how longevity and projection are.
Anyone else get this batch?
Looks like this isn't the most insanely hyped frag anymore.
With Aventus well known now, GIT fans will love being the underdogs again.
I ordered a bottle recently from one of those million anonymous perfume sites and got an A3211X03 batch. The smell is absolutely fresh and the violets are breathtakingly sweet and gorgeous. However, it leaks sometimes and the cap is so loose, if I were to turn the bottle upside down, the cap just falls right off. When I first spray on, it smells amazing and seems pretty strong--my major concern is the longevity. Just the other day, I barely got 2 hours before I could not even detect it on my wrist anymore. Another day was a little better and the weird thing is I got an odd whiff almost 8 hours later from where I sprayed on my shirt, after not being able to smell it for hours. This would be the holy grail for me if the longevity were better.
I am just so frustrated with Creed in general. I really love a lot of their fragrances, but who has the time or energy to worry about this ridiculous batch variation problem. Then the fact you are paying so much money and the longevity is in most cases so ridiculously poor. Not to mention the fact they can't even manufacture bottles that don't leak and a cap that fits! Just what is Creed doing?
Well that's just my point UrbanCoyote--despite the fact I really like a lot of their fragrances, I really don't think I'm going to buy them anymore. When you are spending well over a hundred you shouldn't have to worry about all these ridiculous things. Myself and a friend of mine both have a bottle of Millesime Imperial. Mine is from 2010 and his from 2011. There is a quite detectable difference--his is much more melon-y and stronger, mine is salt water with a melon in the background.
I really would love to have a bottle of both Aventus and Silver Mountain Water, but I really hesitate. Am I gonna get a "smoky" batch or a pineapple batch? Will I even get 4 hours of longevity with SMW? It's just all so frustrating!
Has Creed ever publicly addressed their quality control issues other than the ridiculous and laughable excuse that their formulas are so "natural" there is a big variation from batch to batch. From what I understand, Creed is about as synthetic as the next guy, with maybe only a small increase in use of naturals as compared to designer houses.
Step 1. Go to Wal-Mart
Step 2. Pick up a bottle of Aspen
Step 3. Pay for it.
Step 4. You've eliminated a need to overpay for GIT and you have a better product than Cool Water.
Step 5. Basenoters will crucify this notion but snobs will do that at times.
My top 5 changes like the Tennessee weather.
As a matter of fact, I was just at Walmart yesterday and sprayed some Aspen on my arm. I admit, it was similar to GIT, but to suggest it as a legitimate replacement to the far superior GIT is kind of stretching it. There really is no comparison other than a resemblance. Aspen is probably about as close to real GIT as Primo! was to Giorgio Beverly Hills.
My top 5 changes like the Tennessee weather.
The grateful part of me says I just paid $118 for a $285 cologne.
The pragmatic part of me says it smells nearly identical to the $6 bottle of Aspen I purchased at K-mart, lol.
I went to Neiman Marcus last Wednesday to see which batch they had and their tester was the same exact batch number as yours. My stomach got a little queasy. It really did suck. I had just played Creed Roulette and lost. I am seriously considering returning it to Walgreens.
That the beauty of a return policy. send it back and try again from somewhere else
I sampled GIT twice before finally pulling the trigger. The Creed rep gave me one of those little plastic sprayers (1ml?) back in February and I was able to get 2 full wearings out of it. It was amazing. Women were looking at me like I was George Clooney. I remember walking around with this stuff projecting in what seemed like a 30ft/10m radius and thinking to myself "those basenotes guys weren't lying."
Being the horny bastard that I am, I went back a month later to the same Creed rep and politely asked for another sample. She obliged but it was obviously not the same batch. It was much weaker with no projection and no love from the ladies. I only purchased this bottle from Walgreens because people said they had received a good batch.
So the search continues…
- - - Updated - - -
I forgot to mention some things about my bottle:
1. The cap was loose but not falling off.
2. The sprayer was already primed. Juice came out the first push.
3. I don't believe that it was a used bottle since I tried the flashlight trick and it was filled to the brim of the flask.
4. After I sprayed it the bottle began to leak profusely.
5. After I put the cap off and on several times, the bottle stopped leaking.
6. Now when I push the sprayer once, two sprays come out. Poof Poof.
I think I was sent a bi-polar bottle.
What's everyone's opinion on the 2011 04 batch?
I have a 4oz 98% full green irish tweed from walgreens ordered in mid-june. It's an amazing batch, lot: A3211X03 for a 95%+ full 3.3 Bond No 9 Chez Bond for trade! mesage me or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com thank you. (i apologize earlier in advance, I don't know why I cannot post in swap).
I think there definitely is something to the fact that Creeds need some time after exposure to air to mature. I got my bottle about a month ago (an 11X03). It smelled fantastic at first, but my longevity was quite poor. The last two wears I have gotten nearly 8 hours with about 3-4 of good projection. I can still smell it easily on my arm and clothes after 8 hours. At first I was barely getting 2-3 hours. Now if only I didn't have a crappy, leaky sprayer and a useless cap.
G.I.T. is so refreshing on these hot, humid, New York City Summer days.
I sprayed literally 1 spray of GIT yesterday and got a "wow somebody smells like MAN" when I got.to work an hour later. These 2011 batches, after theyve had some time to macerate - are effing BEAST. I got about 4 hrs of steady projection before it settled down to a closer skin scent. Longevity around 12+ now, but verrry close to skin after 4 hrs.
