Hi ladies! Your September thread has been created for you. :-)
Jennifer and Lorien - Hope you will report back when your babies arrive/arrived!

Sandy - glad things with DH are getting better! That's great news! Also good news about the job, being able to take his time and search for something he wants to do rather than settling just to have a job is a big deal!
Erin - Sounds like you had a great visit with the step-kids! I know it's hard not to take it personally when they don't seem to be as affectionate with you, but I'm sure that's very normal. Please don't let that doubt your ability as a mother. It will be much different with your own child. Plus, it sounds like you're still doing a great job with the step kids! And I'm still sorry about your sucky boss
Ruby - sorry you're feeling crummy I think there are a few of us on here whose children got some extra cartoon time during the first trimester!! I found that if I let DS watch something more eduational I didn't feel as bad Hope you start feeling better soon!
Jamie - you are adorable!!! In the home stretch!!
Liz - I can't believe you're getting so close, too. Feel like time is flying! Sounds like you have most of what you need done. Hooray!! Love the names you have! Including the dog
Jess - sorry about the allergies. I can relate as mine have been awful as well. That certainly is a lot of appointments you have coming up!
AFM - Not doing too bad. Still having quite a bit of hip pain at night. Still not making as much progress as I would like on her room, and still undecided on a name and stuck between the two we have. I have an ultrasound next week and I'm excited to see her again!
|Wed, 08-29-2012 - 10:16am
Jess--I can't believe your reno is still going on! Is there any recourse for it being dragged out so long? And whoa; that's a lot of appointments!
AFM--I think we finally have a girl name! Boy is Silas Timothy. Girl is Adelaide Ruth. Sean picked the first name, so I got middle name rights. It was opposite for the boy.
|Wed, 08-29-2012 - 10:00am
Jamie-you look adorable!!
Waving hi to everyone else!
I am here and surviving. My allergies are now acting up! It's like it was when I was little, I haven't had this in a long time. Last night we were outside at an end of the summer BBQ at Gabby's daycare and I was just miserable. People probably thought I had the plague or something crazy.
I had my appointment with the OB on Monday. Baby is measuring just fine, movements are good (which I knew) and her heart rate was 140bpm, so just great! He wants me to start Biophysical Ultrasounds at 32 weeks. So I scheduled 4 or 5 of them out until 10/15. Crazy!! I am excited to see the baby weekly but seriously 40 minute ultrasounds on top of a 20 minute appt with my midwife every other week and appointments with my nutritionist every other week I will feel like I am living at the doctors office. I am going to talk to my MW on the 7th and see what she says about the US. Plus we haven't reached our deductible so I have to pay out of pocket for them and I think they are like 230 a pop so we will see what happens
Heartburn is still the same, popping the tums. My GD was in line until the past two days my morning numbers were bad,I don' tknow if it's because two nights ago I forgot to take my meds and then it's carry over from me eating more yesterday evening to thismorning but my fasting number was 100. if this keeps up I know they are going to up my meds! So I have to behave even more now. I actually lost a pound from 2 weeks ago, I have NO idea how that happened, maybe it's all the stress we have been under.
OUr house situation is still the same not done, but I washed the first load of clothes last night and will fold and organize them this week or next week! So we are getting there.
|Wed, 08-29-2012 - 9:19am
Mari, Yeah, sure! I don't have a new-new one right now. I posted over on the October 2012 EC when I was 30 weeks. Here's that one - if I take another and post it, I'll post it over here too!
The belly is definitely bigger and sticks out further now, four weeks later, but I've been surprised by how long I've been able to wear regular clothes. I did have to get maternity jeans pretty quickly and finally broke down and got some maternity shorts back in early July, but I haven't bought any maternity dress pants or skirts for work. Most of my stuff still fits with the button/zipper undone and a bella band holding it up. Since longer tops have been in style for a few years now, I've also had a lot of shirts I've been able to continue to wear as well. Though, some are finally starting to get to the point where I bet in a week or two, they'll be too short.
Being so short - 5'2" or so - I thought I'd get this huge, huge belly because there didn't seem to be any room for the baby to grow except out! But so far, it's not really been the case. I guess you really never know with pregnancy.

Also, happy birthday!!
Erin - My sister is 44 years old and my dad has been in her life for 40 years. He essentially raised her with my mom (she saw her dad in the summers, he lived 8 hours away.) They have a great relationship, get along well, she considers him her other dad and doesn't remember a time in her life when he wasn't there, she refers to him to other people as "my dad" and our family was so tight when I was a kid, I didn't even know she was my "half sister" until I was like 8 or 9 yo. I knew she had another dad, and knew him, but just assumed for some reason she had two.... That anyone was anyone else's "step" anything just didn't really register. They have about as tight of a step relationship as is possible. Even with all that and ALL the many, many years they sometimes REALLY butt heads and she'll call me pissed off about whatever it is and refer to him as "your father." Like in those moments she disowns him and is glad she can! LOL.
I'm sure you did great with the kids while they were visiting. And it's awesome that you and your sd found an activity that was "your thing" while they were there. Especially because it was your sd and that relationship can be a bit more fraught because you're competition for her dad's attention to her in a way that his son wouldn't recognize or think about. (((hugs))) Good luck getting through your dh's rough period. It's so hard to just sit back and let someone go through some sadness alone. My first instinct is always to pet, soothe, distract, etc. We go through it every year in November around the anniversary of dh's sister's death and I struggle every time with letting him have his space without trying to "fix" him.
Oh and as far as the classes go, they're offered at the hospital where I'm delivering. My ob-gyn practice also offers a childbirth class, which we could have taken instead, but I figured I'd just take everything through the hospital and schedule it all at once with one phone call. There were a ton of other classes offered too - childbirth refresher for second time parents, grandparents's classes, prenatal yoga, etc. Hopefully your hospital offers some of the same as well.
AFM - Crotch pain has settled down somewhat, so that's good. I still feel rough in the mornings when I first get up or if I forget to keep my knees pressed together while rolling over in bed (owwwww!) but the all-day pain really only lasted on Sunday and Monday. I think I just overdid it on the weekend. I have a doctor's appt. this Friday and will talk to them about going to see a chiropractor next week.
Other than that, same old with us. I can't believe I have less than six weeks to go til my due date. It's wild! Some days my belly seems SO big to me, but then yesterday it occurred to me that I wasn't wearing a single maternity item except for the bella band holding up my pants. So I guess it can't be all that big, right?!
We're still not really set on a name. Our two in the running are Robert John (for our grandfathers) and William Kurt (for our dads) and we each like one better than the other. We've agreed to wait til he's born and see what seems to fit better. I hope it's pretty obvious, because right now we're def. at a stalemate. I could push for whatever and get my way, but I want him to be happy too... We'll see I guess!
|Tue, 08-28-2012 - 8:54am
(((Hugs)))) about the kids leaving today.
|Mon, 08-27-2012 - 9:46am
I'm hanging in there. Having 2-3 contractions every hour now, even when just sitting at work. This has been going on for a couple weeks now, but they typically aren't painful so I'm not worried. Just in case, though, I plan to ask to be checked at my appt next week. I'll only be 35 weeks, but want an idea before we have Peter's birthday party.
Did I mention I had agreed to foster a dog a couple weeks ago? It was supposed to be temporary, but we're keeping her. I signed the adoption contract Thursday morning, and then strained a groin muscle Thursday night trying to walk both of them at once. Oops. I can finally walk without wanting to cry now. Sean said he knew it was bad when I asked him to feed them, since one doesn't really care for him at all. I wound up having to get her rounded up and on leash, but he and my dad handled the rest.
And we're still not ready at all. Ok, we have the big stuff taken care of, but I still want to order a good ring sling after payday, and I'm hoping Sean will bring up boxes of clothes for me Friday so I can sort out some stuff this weekend. If I get that done, I'll be ok. Peter says his "sister girl" is going to sleep with him. Yeah, he insists it's a sister, but now the name is "Baby Ezra."

While the first act drags a bit, the 2nd and 3rd more than make up for it. At 3 1/2 hours, it's definitely a full evening of entertainment. The cast is uniformly outstanding, especially Shellie Shulkin as the matriarch of the family.

Hi: 9° Lo:1°
By Rob George Thursday 29 November 2012 Updated: 30/11 14:33
A BADLY fitted lock on murder victim Jackie Harrison's front door left her property very insecure, a court was told.
Defence barrister Joseph Lewis made the claim while questioning Gary Pinfield, a carpenter with Worcester Community Housing, on day seven of the trial of William Cummins who is accused of murdering Dines Green resident Miss Harrison.
Mr Pinfield agreed the lock had been badly fitted and would not lock properly unless the key was used.
When asked by prosecutor Richard Atkins QC whether a lock similar to the one on Miss Harrison's front door could be purchased, Mr Pinfield said it could not.
His evidence came on the last day of witnesses to be called by the prosecution before Mr Atkins moved to deal with some of the forensic evidence discovered at the scene.
Forensic investigator Timothy Taylor told the court he had taken swabs and fingerprints from a number of areas around Miss Harrison's flat in Gresham Road.
Mr Taylor said he took fingerprints from the toilet handle and also discovered a boot print on the lid of the toilet.
His colleague Kirk Hussey said he was instructed to take prints from the washing machine in the flat and seize the contents.
He told the court he found a number of items inside the machine including a duvet cover and sheet with blood on them.
Mr Hussey said it appeared someone had filled the machine, put the washing powder and fabric softener in but not turned it on.
Further fingerprints were also taken from the kitchen in the flat from the kettle, microwave and taps, the court heard.
The afternoon saw fingerprint expert Elizabeth Billbrough take the stand to reveal what the prints taken from the flat suggested.
Mrs Billbrough compiled a colour-coded chart to show whose prints were found on the items in the flat.
Miss Harrison's were found on a number of items such as a Lenor bottle and the fridge in the kitchen while Cummins' prints were on the toilet handle, tap, bowl and kettle.
Under cross examination from Richard Benson QC, Mrs Billbrough admitted prints could be there simply from someone living in the flat.
Cummins denies murdering Miss Harrison.
The trial continues.

In the battle for bugs, wolf spiders are outwitting carnivorous plants, according to the first study to show members of the plant and animal kingdoms competing for prey.
In parts of Florida and southern Georgia, two species of wolf spider eat the same insects as the pink sundew—a type of carnivorous plant.
Sundews catch bugs using a sticky mucilage on the tips of their leaves. The small plants then release digestive enzymes, which begin to process the trapped animals, leaving only their exoskeletons behind.
Sosippus floridanus spiders, meanwhile, build funnel webs slightly off the ground, at the same height as the sundews. And a wandering wolf spider species, Rabidosa rabida, actively hunts for the same insects the sundews tend to trap. (See spider web pictures.)
In the field the team saw that, when S. floridanus is in close quarters with the sundew, the spiders build larger webs farther away from the plants, presumably to snare more meals than the sundews' leaves.
This led the team to suspect that the spiders were hurting the plants via competition.
Laboratory experiments with the hunting spider R. rabida later confirmed that the presence of spiders can deprive the plants of bugs—and thus vital nutrients.
The plants become weaker overall, producing smaller leaves and fewer seeds, according to study co-author Jason Rohr, an ecologist at the University of South Florida.
There's no evidence so far that the plant responds in any way to the spiders' presence, though research is underway to investigate that, Rohr added. (Related: "Plants Can Recognize, Communicate With Relatives, Studies Find.")
Overall, the discovery contradicts a long-held assumption that competition for food mostly occurs among closely related taxa, or categories of organisms, he said.
"We have pretty convincing evidence that you get competition between very distantly related taxa."
Spider-Plant Study an "Interesting Twist"
Aaron Ellison, a Harvard University ecologist who studies carnivorous plants, said the study isn't necessarily surprising. For instance, it's well known that many types of plants compete with microbes for nutrients in the soil.
"In that sense, the results fall right in line with what we expect to happen when organisms share resources and resources are limited," Ellison said. (See pictures of killer plants.)
But the study does add "another interesting twist to how organisms interact," he said, adding that it's "a constant challenge to those of us who work with carnivorous plants to demonstrate that what we do has generality beyond these really weird plants."
As for study co-author Rohr and colleagues, they're moving on to bigger things: seeing if the presence of toads, which eat the same insects as the spiders and plants, affects the spider-sundew interaction.
It's "very possible," Rohr added, that similar plant-animal rivalry exists worldwide.
"It's an underappreciated set of interactions."
The spider-plant competition study was published online in May in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.

Arizona Cardinals
Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald apologizes for lone drop in 2013
By all accounts, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald had a very productive 2013 season.
The former No. 3 overall pick out of Pittsburgh caught 82 passes for 854 yards to go along with a team-leading 10 touchdown receptions.
For his efforts, Fitzgerald was named to his eighth career Pro Bowl team.
If there was a flaw for Fitzgerald last season it was apparently the one drop he had in 136 targets.
While trying to highlight his incredible 0.7 percent drop rate in 2013, ESPN's NFL twitter account acknowledged Fitzgerald's lone drop.
The Cardinals wideout had a fitting, albeit brief response.
"@ESPNNFL: Last year, @LarryFitzgerald was targeted 136 times.
The eight-time Pro Bowler dropped one pass. pic.twitter.com/0MGPeUK4UA" sorry 😞— Larry Fitzgerald (@LarryFitzgerald) July 4, 2014

The Connecticut Expanded Learning Time Collaborative seeks to achieve strategic alignment of policies and funding, informed by data and best practice, and by the experience of schools, families, communities and other stakeholders, that support and sustain expanded learning time as a strategy to increase educational opportunity and improve outcomes for every child. To this end, the Collaborative activities include:
Specific responsibilities include:
By December 15, 2014, please send a thoughtful cover letter explaining how your education and experience qualify you for this position, along with a description of why it is of interest to you, your salary requirements and your résumé, to: email@example.com.

Posted: November 18, 2014
If you are a seasoned educator and/or a thought leader of educational initiatives that have had a measurable positive impact on students' and schools' success and if you are passionate about ensuring that every child benefits from a first rate education – we want to talk with you about an opportunity that may be right for you.
Drawing upon many years of investment in educational initiatives, input from educational and community leaders across the region and state, and extensive data analyses, the Hartford Foundation established education of children and youth, ages 0-18, as its highest priority in its strategic plan, Accelerate Success. Building on and leveraging lessons learned through our After-school, Brighter Futures, and Community Schools initiatives to support student success throughout Greater Hartford, we are committed to data-driven decision making and true community engagement in our work.
The Hartford Foundation believes that to achieve excellence and equity in education, we must not only ensure that all students have the opportunity to achieve mastery in core subjects, critical thinking and problem-solving, but we must take a comprehensive approach to ensuring their success. We know that even the highest quality instruction will not ensure students' success when they are hindered by poor health and nutrition, social and economic disadvantage, trauma and other detractors to healthy development. We also know that even the highest quality "wraparound" or support services cannot compensate for a weak instructional core. With comprehensive high-quality educational supports and opportunities, all children can flourish, each to his or her own ability.
The Foundation has identified strong partnerships among school districts, families, and the broader community as critical but largely underdeveloped components of educational systems improvement within the region.
The Opportunity
The Foundation is seeking an accomplished leader with significant experience in K-12 education to support the continuing development of our work in K-12 education and education reform in the context of a broader 0-18 educational strategy encompassing early childhood strategies, use of dynamic data tools, policy action, and resource development, among other work.
The individual filling this position also will participate in the Foundation's many other areas of work promoting education reform. He or she will be expected to make innovative and strategic use of a broad array of tools available to foster change, including planning grants, project grants, and partnerships with organizations whose work directly corresponds with the Foundation's funding priorities.
The Senior Education Investments Officer will report to the Director of Education Investments.
Major Responsibilities:

Catholic Activity: Advent or Mary Candle II
This is an old German custom, but an easy practice to implement in Lent. This is also known as the "Mary Candle."
This is an old German custom. A large candle, which symbolizes the Blessed Virgin Mary from whom came the Light of the World, is placed in a white silk-covered candlestick. The candle is to be put on the home altar, and is lighted when the family gathers for their evening prayers every day during Advent.

Sen. John Kerry at the Democratic Convention 370 (R).
(photo credit:Jason Reed / Reuters)
Newly sworn-in US Secretary of State John Kerry plans to visit the Middle East
as part of his first trip in his new role, including stops in Israel and
Egypt.The trip could take place as soon as mid-February, CNN reported on
Friday, citing a US official.Kerry, replacing Hillary Clinton as
secretary of state, was confirmed by the Senate on Tuesday before being sworn in
on Friday.Kerry suggested this week that time was running out for a
two-state solution with Israel living alongside a sovereign Palestinian state.
He said it would be "disastrous" if it did.Former senior US peace
negotiators said they expected Obama to proceed cautiously and to let Kerry take
soundings for any fresh effort. That could allow Obama to avoid investing too
much personal capital in a fresh effort until there was a prospect of real
progress."I believe that Kerry and Obama are committed and interested in
doing something," said Aaron David Miller, a vice president at the Woodrow
Wilson International Center for Scholars, who advised Democratic and Republican
secretaries of state on Arab-Israeli peace negotiations from 1982 to
2003.However, Miller said the two sides were too far apart right now for
any big initiative to succeed and that a more circumspect approach made more
sense."Unlike last time around...[Obama] is going to be quite
patient and deliberate in avoiding the mistakes he made during his previous run,
which is why it's really hard right now... to predict the arc of any sort of big
initiative," he said.While neither Kerry nor Obama have specified what
approach they might take, some of Kerry's allies outside of government have
suggested that he wants to move aggressively.Miller and other former US
diplomats interviewed said they were not privy to what plans, if any, the two
men might have.However, they said Obama's second term offered a new
chance with Kerry, a chief diplomat who has made no secret of his interest in
the Middle East, and that the January 22 Israeli election created a somewhat
better environment for peace despite the intrinsic challenges.Having
watched the peace process unfold, and unravel, from his perch on the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee over the past three decades, analysts say Kerry has
a deep knowledge of the issues and its players.Among the obstacles are
the divisions within the Israeli and Palestinian societies about making peace; a
sense of disbelief that peace itself may ever be possible; and the rise of
Islamist parties, notably in Egypt, that may be less supportive of it.At
his January 24 confirmation hearing, Kerry said, "My hope... my prayer is that
perhaps this can be a moment where we can renew some kind of effort to get the
parties into a discussion."We need to try to find a way forward, and I
happen to believe that there is a way forward," he said, but added: "I also
believe that if we can't be successful, the door... to the possibility of a
two-state solution could shut on everybody and that would be
disastrous."Reuters contributed to this report.

Transparency on Oil, Gas, Coal Revenues Moving ForwardTweet
May 7, 2013
The United States came one step closer to greater natural resources revenue transparency last week when representatives from industry, government, and civil society came together for the second time at the Department of the Interior.
On the table for the May 1 and 2 meetings was which natural resources, types of lands, and revenues will be subject to heightened accountability standards under the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), a voluntary, global effort the United States joined this year.
Oil, gas, and coal royalties on federal lands are in. Hardrock minerals (such as uranium and gold), saleable minerals (such as gravel and sand), renewable energies (such as solar and wind), and forestry are still up for discussion. Also in limbo are state, tribal, and private lands, as well as various payments, such as rents and property taxes.
The decisions were made by a committee—featuring representatives from industry, government and civil society—that is tasked with establishing the scope of EITI in the United States (USEITI). Rhea Suh, the assistant secretary for policy, management and budget at Interior, is leading this effort on behalf of the U.S. government. Danielle Brian, executive director of the Project On Government Oversight, and Veronika Kohler of the National Mining Association are, respectively, the committee's civil society and industry co-chairs.
Interior's Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR) already collects much of the data the committee decided to include in USEITI scope last week. However, Interior's oversight of these programs has been plagued by controversy and mismanagement for years. By including oil, gas, and coal royalties on federal lands in the USEITI's scope, Interior—and industry—will be held to a higher standard by an international community of transparency advocates.
Ultimately, industry and the government will be responsible for regularly disclosing detailed information about the resources, lands, and revenues the committee decides fall under the scope of USEITI. A third party auditor will review and reconcile this data to ensure that U.S. taxpayers are getting their fair share of revenues from resources that are extracted from U.S. lands.
Central to EITI's mission and the effectiveness of the U.S. effort to implement this initiative is public involvement. Prior to last week's meetings, POGO asked our readers for their questions and comments about USEITI, only to learn that many members of the public are unaware that the extractives industries pay the U.S. government to drill and mine on public lands. Last year, these companies paid almost $12 billion to Interior, and the Department divided this money among the U.S. Treasury, state and tribal governments, and various federal environmental funds.
Interior noted in its fiscal year 2014 budget request that USEITI "helps ensure the full and fair return to the American people" from public resources. And Interior's Suh said at the meeting, "Revenue transparency is a fundamental tenet of economic growth."
This is exactly the reason your input on this process is so crucial. The next USEITI meeting isn't until next month, but you can send your questions and comments to POGO's Danielle Brian any time by emailing her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

|Fantasy News
|Mon. Nov 24, 2014
|News: Manning was 29 of 40 for 338 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in Sunday's loss to Dallas.
|Impact: There was nowhere to go but up after his five-INT game last week.(STATS, 4:44pm)
|Nov 23, 2014
|News: Manning completed 29-of-40 passes for 339 yards, with three touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Cowboys.
|Impact: Manning mostly played a good game, even though his lone interception was an ugly one in the red zone, which mimicked his issues from last week. He often looked in the direction of rookie wide receiver Odell Beckham, who finished with 10 catches for 146 yards and two touchdowns on 12 targets, topping 90 yards for a fourth consecutive game. Beckham's emergence has largely made up for the loss of Victor Cruz (knee), but both Manning and the offensive line have been highly inconsistent this season. Manning gets another favorable matchup in Week 13, with the Giants traveling to Jacksonville.(RotoWire, )
|Mon. Nov 17, 2014
|News: Manning matched a career high with five interceptions in Sunday's 16-10 home loss to San Francisco. He also went 22 of 45 for 280 yards and one score.
|Impact: Manning had been playing well with 14 touchdowns and only two picks over his previous seven contests.(STATS, 4:53pm)
|Nov 16, 2014
|News: Manning completed 22-of-45 passes for 280 yards and one touchdown, but he was sacked twice and threw five interceptions in a home loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
|Impact: Manning connected with six different receivers, throwing 28 of his 45 passes to starting wideouts Rueben Randle and Odell Beckham, while tight end Larry Donnell caught the lone touchdown pass. After turning the ball over five times in the first seven games of the season, Manning has lost the ball eight times in the last three games, as issue he hopes to pull away from in Week 12, against a Cowboys defense that he threaded for 248 yards and three touchdowns in Week 7.(RotoWire, )

West Coast rapper Game believes Drake's debut album, Thank Me Later, will sell over 500,000 copies in its first seven days on store shelves.
Despite Drake's recent album leak, Game is still confident in the rapper's selling ability.
"Thank Me Later got leaked," Game said in an interview. "You think he ain't gonna go out there and push over gold the first week? I got [him selling] over 650,000 first week. That's what I'm giving Drake: 650, man. Every now and then, a man comes along and reshapes hip-hop; this is the dude for this time. I came out, my first album, 590,000. I feel he got a bigger buzz than I did. When I came out, everybody else was still poppin'. Right now … he's just coming down. I got my album coming, Tip coming, Ross coming, but everybody is on their Drake stuff — even me. Dude is good, man." (MTV)
UGK's Bun B predicts Drake's debut will also hit gold in a week time span.
"It's an incredible album," Bun, who was featured on Drake's acclaimed So Far Gone, said in an interview. "It's gonna be a multiplatinum album. First of all, let that be understood: it's gonna be a number one album in several countries across the world. If he does less than 500,000 in the first week, somebody dropped the ball at Universal [Music]." (XXL Mag)
Platinum-selling rapper T.I. recently said Drake's ability to put out consistent good music will influence his record sales.
"I'm confident in my man," T.I. said about Drake's first-week. "I think if 500 [thousand] was the over, under, I would take the over. Given his potential and his presence, I would. I think that's safe, that's a safe bet. He hasn't put out a dud yet. He hasn't put out a dud, not even as a feature, so I think that warrants about a half [a million]." (Hot 97)
Despite a leak late last month, Drake has kept a positive outlook toward his album sales.
"I always said if I had put out an album that was poor quality and music that people didn't enjoy, then I think the leaks would hurt me," Drake said in an interview. "Because a lot of the feedback has been great. The word of mouth, music is something that is to be enjoyed. I think it can help me so, June 15th, I'm still confident." (The Life Files)
Drake's Thank Me Later is in stores today.

It is a wonderful fragrance. It becomes sweet after a while. I will definetely buy it again.
When I smelled this at the fragrance counter, I was pleasantly surprised. This a very sexy fragrance. I really like amber, so maybe that's what's doing it for me. I love the bottle and I am strongly considering buying this.
A saleswoman at Norstrom's in Orlando decanted a sample of this for me to try, but when I first tried it, I was suffering from a bad case of nose fatigue, and just couldn't bear to try another fragrance.
So yesterday I was heading over to Orlando to teach, and decided to put some of the sample on in the car. The notes are supposed to be mainly gardenia and amber, and I do get that, but there is also something more woody underneath that. The top notes had a bit too much aldehyde or other nose-tickling attributes, but the drydown was nice, if not really that special.
I'm not really a raving Versace fan in the first place; the packaging always seems...weird to me on those "jeans" type fragrances (fun, maybe, but still weird). I think that I will be trying this one out again, and reserving final judgement till then.

AusGamers Sleeping Dogs Developer Video Interview
Post by Steve Farrelly @ 11:25am 23/02/12 |
AusGamers was invited out to a special presentation of Sleeping Dogs in Hong Kong and caught up with Senior Producer, Jeff O'Connell, to talk about its transition from True Crime: Hong Kong to Sleeping Dogs. Read on or watch for the full interview...
Watch the full video interview embedded above, or
click here for a direct link
: Welcome back to AusGamers. You are here once again with Stephen Farrelly. We're out in not-so-sunny Hong Kong at the moment -- it's a bit chilly here. But it's not so chilly at the moment because we've just seen a pretty amazing game.
This is Jeff from United Front Games. You guys might have heard about a little project they were working on a while ago -- which was called something else [True Crime: Hong Kong].
Jeff O'Connell
: It was called something else.
: So that's as good a place as any to start. Let's talk about the tumult that you guys went through and I guess the resurrection.
: Yeah, it was challenging like you said, and I think resurrection is a good way to put it and Square has ended up being the perfect partner for us. They saw the game and right away just said to us "this thing is fun, it's solid, it's amazing and we love it and we'd love to work with you guys".
And for us, we were very confident in the game when we started building it and confidence was a little shakey obviously, so to have Square give us that vote of confidence it really helped bring us back into the black to show you the game here today and I think the reception has been rewarding as well.
: From a legal standpoint, was there much of an issue in getting it from one camp to the other in the state that it's in now?
: I'm not a business guy, so I can't really comment on that. I can say that it seemed fairly easy in terms of that transition -- working with Square; meeting the team; working with them, in particular the production and design crew who had just come off Just Cause 2 and previously Arkham Asylum -- those guys just have so much experience and they really understand the development of open-world games.
So meeting those guys initially, for us on the dev side, was a really seamless process and it was just like meeting old friends -- it was very, very easy.
: Now you talked about having been a little bit shaken up in the confidence department, but I will say that I saw the game quite a while ago in Vancouver and it's been a fair amount of time since and it's looking ten times better than when I saw it way back then.
So for you guys internally -- despite what happened -- was it always just a process of "You know what? We're just going to keep our heads down; we're going to keep working on the game" and how much did you change content-wise once you did have to leave the Activision umbrella?
: For us these games... we've worked on a lot of these games -- we have very experienced staff and we knew that these games take a long time to come together in the end because they are so complex. They're system-driven and the system is essentially building a world simulator and that doesn't really play nicely together until near the end when all the systems are in place. The thing about Square is that they kind of understood that and they understand about how these game come together.
As you said, you saw it a while ago and it looked like one thing; you saw it today and it looked like an entirely different thing and part of that is just a maturation process of these systems as they get developed. And you try and get that out there too early and the game isn't going to work.
So with Square coming along and understanding development, that's really given us the support and confidence to do what we always wanted to do with the game, which was have the game in Hong Kong, be an undercover cop and offer people the deepest mechanics that they've seen in an open-world game. And for Square, that proposition was exciting for them. They said "First time in Hong Kong; sounds amazing". There's not a lot of cop games, so the original in that respect sounds amazing. And the guys that came off Just Cause and Arkham and saw our mechanics, they loved that as well. So for them, there wasn't a whole lot of need to change elements.
: Now you are talking a lot about mechanics and systems and it is an open-world game -- there's combat that's heavily... well not heavily, but borrows in the correct way from Batman -- which was a ground breaking combat system in and of itself. The driving which I actually got to get hands on with before feels fantastic -- it's among the best that I've played in that kind of game.
For you guys internally, was it too many eggs in one basket when you're trying to create all these different systems? Did you rein it in? What was the process? Was it going: "here's an open-world game, but we need to have certain things that feel more solidified in their mechanics than other open-world games"?
: For us, the cornerstone of the game is the fun piece. You can have a great story and you can have a great city, but unless the game is fun, it's just not great. And we put together an experienced team of people who worked on a real cross-section of open-world games with strong mechanics. Obviously you mention Need for Speed; games like Bully. We've got guys from Skate, we've got guys from Hulk: Ultimate Destruction and Prototype. So bringing those guys together; having them talk about creating that seamless system that makes you feel like an action hero, we feel like those guys have managed to create it.
And I think the hands on today, you see people going back and forth between fighting, shooting, vault-shooting, getting on a bike as you saw in the demo and shooting,all of those things don't seem modal, it seems natural -- that ability to seem like a Hong Kong action hero -- and have a very, very short learning curve. You saw in the demo today that within ten minutes, people are having a blast and playing it just like we're playing it when we were demoing it and I think that speaks to how easy it is to pick up and play the game and how accessible the mechanics are.

ASAE Foundation Announces Winners of the Innovation Grant Program
With 63 applications for its new Innovation Grant Program (IGP), the ASAE Foundation chose four winning projects. Each will receive up to $10,000, and the winners will be recognized during ASAE's 2013 Great Ideas Conference, March 10-12, at the Broodmoor in Colorado Springs, Colorado. SunTrust Inc. is a major supporter of this initiative.
The four winners are:
- American Alliance Museums, Washington, DC-Exploration Grant
- Colorado Nonprofit Association, Denver, Colorado-Exploration Grant
- The Association of American Medical Colleges, Washington, DC-Travel Grant
- The International Association Diecutting and Diemaking, Crystal Lake, Illinois-Exploration Grant
"The quality of projects submitted this year was fantastic, and it was a very hard decision to narrow down the winners to just four," said Michelle Mason CQIA, FASAE, CAE, chair of the advisory committee and managing director at the American Society for Quality. "We are excited to help fund these innovative ideas because it will drive creativity and inspire our community in new ways that will not only bring value to their members, but to the global community."
ASAE Foundation received a broad range of applications from organizations with a wide range of types, sizes, locations, and industries. Executive summaries of the winning proposals are online, and ASAE Foundation will also publish an abstract of the other innovative projects that were submitted.
"Not only were we very pleased with the response we received, but also how these organizations approached the concept of innovation and how this could be applied throughout an organization," said ASAE Executive Vice President and President of the ASAE Foundation Susan Robertson, CAE. "The winning organizations did a great job in explaining how their projects directly benefit their organizations as well as how they would share these lessons and concepts with the association community."
