Our kosher babka and rugelach are the finest around! Not sure what Babka is? Let us help you. Babka is a cross between cake and sweet bread. Like bread, it is often baked as a loaf and also uses yeast. However, it's also like cake, as it is considered a sweet dessert (any time of day!). Some compare babka dough to briochesweet and moist. Babka originated in Eastern Europe and was brought to the US by early immigrants who settled in NY's Lower East Side. It is a popular cake for Easter and is also very popular with Jewish people all year round. Babka had it's 15 minutes of fame when it was the focus of an episode of The Seinfeld Show.

I looked them up and there was comment from Jobst Brandt about having had that type of fork fail, as well as a long thread on Velocipede Salon. Failures seem to occur either because it is hard to get the solder into the crack between the internal lug and the fork leg tube, or because the lug finishes square and creates stress at that point. Note that the Cinelli SCA lug that you pointed to on velobase.com is cut away at the sides and does not finish square, but that some others that have copied the style do. I still like the look of sloping shouldered fork crowns, but I'll happily keep to the externally lugged one on my Velosmith for now.

Former team boss Gian Carlo Minardi has called on F1 to reinstate Friday practice sessions for rookie drivers, saying they are not getting the time they need.
During the Spanish Grand Prix weekend, Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo spoke about the Scuderia's desire to see in-season testing return. Other teams, though, are against the idea.
However, the lack of testing, with teams limited to just 12 days, has had a severe impact on F1's rookie racers who, Minardi insists, need more time out on track.
"I've always supported the importance of cutting down costs in other fields, without penalising private testing which play an important role: satisfying young drivers. A driver has to run at least 3-5000 km before knowing his car," said the Italian.
"According to present regulations, that is almost impossible to do. Moreover, at the beginning of the racing season, most of the circuits young drivers have to race at are almost unknown to the majority of them.
"If we want to ensure a generation change, we'll have to give these young guys the opportunity to practice. I hope that what Mr. Montezemolo said will be soon supported by facts. That would mean that more and more attention will be focused on young drivers, who will have the chance to express themselves and display their potential through on-track practice.
"I've been supporting the idea of reintroducing Friday free practices for rookie racers, for a long time. We don't have to forget that racers such as Vettel and Kubica (only to mention a few) caught the attention of racing experts just thanks to free practices."
Minardi highlighted Sauber rookie Esteban Gutierrez's plight as proof that drivers need more time to learn their craft.
"Before blaming Gutierrez, more time should have been given to him to express himself. Now the team has to make him work quietly.
"It would be extremely unfair to pan him now, only after 5 GP, he mostly run on unknown tracks. Unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity to prepare for racing at best."

Drinking Water Filters & Water Purification
Water is vital for our very existence, and the purer the water we use to drink and bathe, the better. Gaiam has drinking water filters that purify your tap water, and we also have water purification systems that can be used for sinks and showerheads.
We have a water purification system to suit your every need. You can install a permanent under-the-sink filter or a filtration system that installs next to your faucet, giving you the option to use filtered water for consumption and normal tap water for other uses.
We also have standalone filtration systems that are ideal for filtering smaller amounts of water or for when you want to filter water while traveling. All of our filtration systems remove bacteria, heavy metals, parasites, chemicals, and other impurities, leaving clean, safe drinking water.
If you want the water you bathe with to be just as clean as the water you drink, we offer several systems that can be installed in showers. If you want to enjoy a bubble bath sans chlorine, we have a filter that can be installed on your bathtub's faucet and removes chlorine and other impurities that can cause hard water.
Our shower filters will clean the water that cleans you, and we even offer a shower head that oxygenates your water. You'll notice the difference right away-your hair will be less brittle and less prone to breakage, and your skin will feel softer and cleaner.
The water you drink and bathe in should be as clean and chemical free as possible. With our extensive line of filters and purification products, you can improve the water that you use every day. Whether you want to improve your health with drinking water filters or purify all the water that enters your home, we have a system that can help.

MARYLAND -- A military judge has reduced the potential sentence for a former Fort Drum soldier accused of sending thousands of classified documents to Wikileaks.
Private First Class Bradley Manning will get 112 days off any prison sentence if he's convicted. A military judge ruled that Manning suffered illegal pretrial punishment during the nine months he spent in Virginia. He was confined to a windowless cell 23 hours a day, sometimes with no clothing. Officials claimed it was to protect the suspect from harming himself or others. The defense wanted charges against Manning dropped. He's been charged with aiding the enemy and 21 other offenses. Manning's trial starts in March.

Watch Out for Kia
Well to be fair, even 5 years ago they didn't have any of the style, and the Koreans have been advancing in engine technology. As purchasing power and real incomes decline, along with their product improving (who says massive federal subsidies and bailouts can't work?), they have some future.
Well they've surprised me. I think my comments were directed more toward the idea that not only is competition fierce on the lower end but profits are smaller.
You remember the old joke about one merchant asking another how he could sell his products at a loss?
"I make it up in volume!"

That's probably true. Many of the Asian economies work on systems that would scare American economists---but then, we seem to have operated on systems that failed to scare our own economists enough. :P
Well, pot, meet kettle. The US gov'mint certainly seems to have kept GM and Chrysler out of the grave these last few years, and successfully so---

our Federalees don't even know where their own money is going to...remember that CSPAN of a month or so ago where the woman in charge didn't know how this huge chunk of Federal money was being allocated when she was asked that particular question? Scary, but true.
We're not doomed but we're always ready to make a bailout...I...I mean a bankruptcy...ooops...I...I mean another ride in the NYC Cashcab or the CHI Cashcab...a reality.
Now that America's problems are all solved I'm gonna go witness another Seattle Mariner's victory on the tube. I've got more important ventures to pursue.
2011 Kia Soul Sport 5-speed
Oh that's probably more scare tactic than true...most government loans have very strict accounting and require lots of accountability. You'll hear all kinds of bad info on economics from the mouths of media.
Fact is, bailouts of the car companies seems to have worked, at least for now.
I doubt most car companies in the world would still exist were it not for some form of government assistance, either financial or regulatory or protective.
MODERATOR --Need help with anything? Click on my name!
one could probably Google what I am talking about for more details, and you're right, Hyundai was bailed out by the SK Guv-Mint, then they bailed out Kia.
But this deal I say was on C-SPAN. All these kids now are watching our big, bloated Guv-Mint like a hawk so they can expose it's weaknesses. And they'll find them, our Guv-Mint is arrogant and won't care what these kids find out. Besides, unless they form an uprising, what's gonna become of this information, anyway? Ignorance is bliss, right?
No, this lady was in some kind of a Timothy Geitner-type position, the newsperson formed a question about a big chunk of money being spent on something that lacked contact-ability, and this woman had no idea what he was talking about. I think the huge chunk of money was missing, that was it. And she didn't know where it had gone!
But for sure the money was missing, though. Not all that hard for me to imagine such a thing with big Guv-Mint, actually.
2011 Kia Soul Sport 5-speed
Hyundai is doing even better though.
"The sales pace for Hyundai and Kia vehicles has been torrid. Hyundai set a new May record of nearly 60,000 vehicles sold for a 21 percent hike over the same record-breaking period in 2010. Kia not only had its best May but its best month ever with sales of more than 48,000 vehicles for a 53 percent boost from the year earlier. That gave Kia its highest market share in history at 4.5 percent, according to Edmunds.com's records. While Kia may cool a tad in June from May, likely due to inventory shortages, Hyundai is on fire in June. Edmunds.com's forecast for June car sales puts Hyundai on track for record sales and market share. Combined, Hyundai and Kia are predicted by Edmunds.com to see sales up more than 4 percent from May to June and up 34 percent from last June for a record 10.2 percent market share – 5.9 percent for Hyundai and 4.3 percent from Kia, according to Edmunds.com's forecast."

I'm not so sure about this gimmick--it might backfire here in the States...a photo of a person taking a lie detector test is a lot like a photo of someone in handcuffs...it has the sniff of criminality about it.
Gutsy, though. Clever.

cannon3 Posts: 296Korean government supports its auto industry with tax incentives/breaks and has done so for decades. Believe me, if either Hyundai or Kia stumble the Korean government will step in with $$. Amazing how many cars we allow them to sell here, yet we cannot export to S. Korea. They have a mentality in S. Korea to purchase home made goods/services first. Imagine if we Americans had this mentality... :sick:

6422130 Posts: 41I took delivery of an Optima on Saturday. Air conditioner stopped working as I drove off the lot. Dealer would not cancel paperwork or switch car. Picked car up on Monday and air not working again today. Dealer does not have loaners, Kia is completely unsympathetic and won't help. I like the car but the company and dealers are not up to par based on my experience thus far. I suppose recourse will be lemon law but this easy could have been resolved.
We had a long thread about people not meeting their mpg targets back in September in the Sorento Real World MPG discussion.
"Hyundai Motor Group's Hyundai and Kia units overstated the fuel economy of about 900,000 vehicles sold in the U.S. since late 2010, the company said Friday, citing an investigation by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
It said it will compensate U.S. buyers for the difference."

If you watched magazine reviews over the last 12-18 months, you would notice that as-tested MPG for Hyundais and Kias ALWAYS fell several points below the city EPA rating, whereas for most cars tested these days, the as-tested at least met the city rating, when it wasn't higher.
AutoNews has the new ratings, and they are all 38 MPG highway or lower. The Kia Soul dropped five points highway.
OTOH, the Accent and Elantra are still competitive, even at 28/38 or whatever they are now. And they are giving out debit cards for the entire time the owner keeps the car - the difference in mileage times the cost of gas + 25%, or something like that. They expect an Elantra owner driving 15,000 miles per year to net an $88 debit card this year.
Just think about that: $88 x 900,000 cars = like $80 million per year they will be paying out to make it right for existing owners. Wow. They expect to have new stickers on the cars on lots within a few days.

Here's the opening rotation I use for 2+ mobs currently...
D&D, Blood Boil, Icy Touch, Pestilence, Blood Tap, Blood Boil, Death Strike.
Works fairly well for snap aggro in the very beginning.
I haven't play my DK Tank in awhile, just got back on him after playing my Tankadin 99% of the time.
So for leveling in Cataclysm, I have found this rotation to work best on single targets, and yes I know the DK runes are based on a priority system, rather than the awesome and great fixed rotation which I miss dearly. Anyways, this is what I use on single targets, and it seems to work just great; IT>PS>DS>RS>HS>HS>RS. I know I can go disease-less, but rather stick with them for now.
What would be a good starter for multiple targets ? Do I always need to be using DnD ?
Also once I ding 81 next week, where will Outbreak come in ? That replaces both IT +PS ? Does it also spread them like Pest does, or do I still need to cast Pest after Outbreak on mobs and multiples ?
Thank you,
Here's the opening rotation I use for 2+ mobs currently...
D&D, Blood Boil, Icy Touch, Pestilence, Blood Tap, Blood Boil, Death Strike.
Works fairly well for snap aggro in the very beginning.
Usually for multi-mobs on my DK tank I'll use DnD>BB>HS>HS>RS(if proc'd)>DS>RS/DC to generate a rune, or blood tap. It's all about cleaving abilities and the DPS I was running with were all geared out so that was pretty much what I had to do. For longer pulls, I would add diseases in after I got snap aggro with that rotation.

I'm glad the bot approves so resoundingly!
Pre-pull: HoW
Pull: DnD -> BB -> DS -> BB -> DS -> RS -> [Tab] -> RS -> BB SPAM
Locked in. Target swap and RS/HS.

I am only putting down a D+D for them to run into then I go diseaseless. I've not lost threat to anyone, I do spread my RS around to smack different mobs in the face. I'll BB if I think I need the damage reduction, but not for threat.
Mark the whole group your pulling and you dont have to worry about it as much, but i will mark all, have skull targeted, dnd, it, ps, pest, then bb, depending on how many mobs there are hs or bb
IMO you should always be hitting BB, as it applies Scarlet Fever.
I usually open with DnD, IT, PS, Pest, BB. And typically just mark the initial target with a skull. By the time the first target dies you should have gathered more than enough threat on the others. After casting BB once, Scarlet Fever will typically last as long as the entire pull (Provided you have 3/3 in Epidemic), so HS/DS after that. Putting up a Blood Shield is helpful with DS, but keep in mind that your diseases need to be applied in order to do so.
I'm with PosiJoel. I stick with DnD to get their attention, getting diseases spread around and then Blood Boiling. If the mobs go down fast or I am walking into a pull with 4 death runes, I might sometimes slack off and BBx6. Going DnD->BB->DS is not bad, but if the mobs take a while to bring down, you are more likely to hold threat with diseases ticking from the beginning.
I only use diseases on long fights like bosses.
DnD > BB > HS > DS this is usually enough to get the initial aggro as long as the dps target you target then you can start spreading some RS about but most of the time HS & DS are enough. I my opinion IT > PS > Pest is just a waist of runes I could be using for useful abilities.
Typically, for AoE, I run with a DnD > Outbreak > Pest > BB > DS > RS > DS, or thereabouts. Will keep tabbing through targets using RS etc too. Typical BB / Spam etc then. Havent really had much of a problem with that.
Single target, I tend to open with Outbreak > HS > HS > Blood Tap > BB > DS > RS > DS.
Thats just me though. Not claiming they're the best rotations, but I dont tend to have any problems with them.
Depends greatly on the pull, if there is cc, if they are casters etc..
If the pull is three mobs or less, no casters:
Mark my target skull,
(once in range)Death Strike,
Heart Strike-Heart Strike,
Death Strike(rinse repeat, spamming Rune Strike while runes cd)
If the pull is three mobs or less and one is a caster:
Death grip the caster - (then wait for the first spell) Mind Freeze,
Double Heart Strike,
Death Strike (repeat, interrupting as needed with rune strike filling the gaps)
If the pull is four mobs or more (no caster):
Outbreak to pull,
DnD for them to run through,
Double HS,
Two or more casters:
Death grip the first caster,
Strangulate the second caster....
Heart, Death, Rune as needed.
Granted, if your dps ignore markings and pull for you and such, this all goes to toilet. Play it by ear at that point.
At all times, try to position the mobs in front of you, with their collective backs to the group.
Hope that helps.
Mostly I:
- deathgrip over the skull-target just after cc goes up
=> this is critical in pugs, as it makes skull the only target to hit for a couple of gcd's, bad dps now tend to go all tunnelvision in their single-target rotation
- apply outbreak if up, IS+PS if not
- bloodboil + pestilence as rest of the mobs arive
Maybe it should be mentioned since some people have talked about going disseaseless that in the future Scarlet Fever will not be applied by BB but instead by Blodo Plague so disseaseless will be less attractive. In other words if you are applying disseases today continue with it.
DnD, outbreak, pest, bb + DS spam.
Watch me play SC2 ladder and enjoy the lolz
I still mark targets though and so long as people follow a kill order there's not usually a problem. I have found that for some people, if you mark skull, cross and then don't bother marking the third target, they get confused and assume that they should blow all CDs on the unmarked target to pull aggro as soon as they can.
<< Arcane Shots >>
Outbreak should be first.. if you dnd first sometimes youll end up with 1rp less which messes up your first RS

What is Breakthrough Leadership? from Gap International on Vimeo.
Constant Breakthroughs
I was considering keeping this experience a secret, but then I felt guilty.
Most career-minded people and small business owners are constantly looking for the next breakthrough. How many people can you name who aren't?
Many months ago I embarked on a fantastic training seminar at Gap International.
SInce my first intro course, which spanned more than 18 intense hours of training over a weekend, I can honestly say that I have been more motivated and focused than ever. And as a result, my company and team has been better because of it.
Today I'm off to another, smaller, yet equally valuable event held at Gap International in Philadelphia.
I know I'll be better because of it. I hope you and your organization will learn a little about them, even pass it along to your team.
Thanks to Brian Lang for coaching me to the next level, and to my good friends Charity, Kelly, and Jeremy Brown for introducing me to this amazing company.

* Prices may differ from that shownMore Offers
Recommended retail price is shown as £23 but I bought mine for £10 off the Tesco website.
===My Opinion===
This was Britney Spears' second fragrance in association with Elizabeth Arden and was launched in 2005.
I therefore was going to buy some more but found that they were double the price of this old and original Fantasy perfume so thought I would try this instead.
Going by the bottle design and the Britney Spears endorsement this perfume is aimed at the younger market. However I do not think perfume should be picked according to such criteria and I believe that if you like it then buy it.
The bottle is colourful and, although slightly flambuoyant and a bit over the top, quite fun rather than being classy – though it is not that bad that I would bother hiding it. It is a little smaller than I expected but that is because it is a 30ml bottle rather than 50 ml.
The perfume is similar to the Remix versions – it is sweet and slightly heavy and musky. Officially the composition is shown as 'red lychee, golden quince, kiwi, cupcake accord, jasmine petals, white chocolate, orchid, musk, orris root and sensual woods'.
This is a sweet and cheerful aroma – a mix of slightly floral and fruity aromas with the musky and heavy undertones and with a tinge of the chocolate and cupcake as well.
When first sprayed on it is quite strong – even with only one spray. However I love the sweet and chocolaty combination and even when it dies down a little it does still smell reasonably strong and lasts a good few hours. Good value for the price.
Personally I love cupcake and chocolate smells – either in perfume or candles.
Being the original Fantasy and now being 'old' as it came out in 2005 I was lucky to get this at a reduced price. Perfumes at Tesco were part of the double-up on vouchers so I actually had this for just a £5 voucher.
The Remix versions are also lovely but being newly launched this year were almost double the price so I am pleased with this lovely bottle for a bargain price.
As well as for yourself this would be a great gift for some teenager.
It does vary a little from the Remixed versions but you can still detect the same basic aroma. As I love Angel perfume by Mugler which is sweet and chocolaty too I also love this one as it is a toned down version that is acceptable to my husband so I can actuially get to wear it.
The Britney Spears Fantasy Eau de Parfum is available from GBP 19.99. The Eau de Parfum comes as 30 ml, 50 ml and 100 ml sprays.
The Eau de Parfum was launched in 2006 and created by James Krivda. The Eau de Parfum is the second fragrance by Britney Spears.
The Eau de Parfum comes in a pink bottle with a round cap. The pink bottle is studded with Swarovski crystals and encased with interlocking rings at the neck.
The Eau de Parfum is described as follows. "Fantasy is a magical love potion of sweet temptation leaving a tantalising tail of embracing sensuality. Fantasy is alive with enchantment and rich with the thrill of the chase. This is the second fragrance from the pop princess and has been created for women who are seductive, charming and elusive, its about loves ability to overwhelm you when you least expect it."
The Eau de Parfum has a floral and fruity scent. A fruity scent that reminds of kiwi and lychee can be noticed. A sweet chocolate and orchid scent can be noticed after that. Followed by an intensive musk and vanilla scent. The main accords are sweet and fruity. The Eau de Parfum is intensive and long-lasting.
The top note consists of red lychee, golden quince and kiwi. Followed by the heart notes of jasmine petals, white chocolate and orchid. The base notes are musk, orris root and sensual woods.
The Eau de Parfum is long-lasting and holds up to 8 hours.
I can recommend the Britney Spears Fantasy Eau de Parfum, as the scent is intensive and long-lasting. The main accords are sweet and fruity.
I was attracted to this product after the heavy advertising campaign; Britney fragrances seem be everywhere, music videos, in store promotions, you tube advertisements.
I am always a little wary of celebrity endoresements and tend to steer clear but I am so glad I came across this fragrance.
This is a perfect fragrance for everyday use or can even be 'dressed up' for use on special occasions. This has fast become my default perfume.
It is fun and flirty; fruity and sweet with a gentle spice. Although it is long lasting, it is not overpowering like some sweet fragrances can be.
I alwasy receive compliments when I wear this fragrance.
This is a great price for what you are getting, and the bottle it comes in is gorgeous. This would make an ideal gift for someone.
This is not only the best celebrity fragrance on the market but one of the best fragrances full stop.
Where to start... boy do I love this perfume!! I've now gone through 3 of these which believe me is pretty hard to do since you don't need a whole lot on!! This perfume really stands up against other celeb perfumes in the industry as it really does last for a crazy long time! Believe it or not, even longer than Chanel...
The smells is pure candy, sugar and all things nice, and it may suit people who are younger. Which wouldn't stop me, I mean i'm a guy and I love wearing this perfume!!! This perfume is also the type of one that you will be able to smell on you too. So many people forget they reek of their perfume and spray more on - which this perfume that won't be an issue!!
It really can mask anything, and often when I wash things the scent still stays on! The bottle is heavy which is annoying if you travel around with it! I would suggest buying one of those travelo things in hot pink - as it really suits the overall look!
I tend to buy this in airports as it's slightly cheaper, but look around during the xmas period as it always comes in great gift sets!! The last one I bought was only £15 for TKMAXX for 100ml and it came with some kinda cream that omg, smells AMAZING!!
This really is a perfect gift and I know it's so popular - alot of my friends love it too!!
I can't remember what the other 'fantasy' ones smell like but I know that this is and will always be my favourite one!!
I can even picture the scent now, it's so amazing!!
Firstly this is the perfume I wear EVERYDAY and have done for around 6 years now! I still can't get over the delicious smell, so sweet and distinctive. No matter how many times I have worn this perfume it still feels gorgeous every time.
I have tried all different types of perfume in addition to this for nights out but they just don't smell anywhere near as good. The smell is very sweet, like walking into a sweet shop and lasts all day. I can wear this in the morning, work all day and you can smell it when you get home.
People notice this perfume on me all the time, the same as I do if I am walking past someone else who is wearing it. Most perfumes these days are not very distinctive but I can say with all honesty that none have come close to 'Fantasy'. Fantasy is exactly what is it is..Perfect!
I end up with so many of these at Christmas and would be so disappointed if I got anything else to be honest. The price is so reasonable, you can usually get a 100ml Bottle of perfume and a body lotion for just £25 - absolute bargain in my eyes! They do this set in Tesco but all major supermarkets and perfume shops, Boots, Superdrug etc. all sell this and it is easily accessible to buy online too.
It comes in a packaged box, size dependant on the bottle size you buy. The box is as lovely as the perfume, it is a green and pink design with a green bow wrapped around, to sides open up and the perfume is in the middle on a pink felt like stand. All I can say is the packaging is as brilliant as the perfume, which cannot be said for most perfumes out there!
The bottle itself is a lovely design too and makes a great addition to any chest of drawers/dressing table, it is pink, round and has green diamanté's spread evenly across the bottle. It has a fancy bottle top too which is still the same design (you guessed it, pink and green!) but the green diamanté's go around the bottle top and the top itself is a plastic pink round style.
I would recommend this to every single woman! Sweet, delicious scent that lasts all day, stunning bottle/packaging and a reasonable price too, what more could a women ask for?
I confess as a grown woman this is a perfume I should probably not say I own but I do and if there is a perfume that breaks my preconceptions of celebrity scents this is it.
When it comes to perfume I am normally more of a DKNY Pure, J'adore EDT fan but this is actually a little gem of a fragrance. I first tried it when I borrowed some of my friends and have become hooked on its sweet girly fragrance ever since.
The bottle is actually very pretty as it is pink little gem details on it but you can also see through it so can see when it is starting to run low.
Well the marketing blurb describes it as "a magic love potion of sweet temptation that leaves a tantalising trail of embracing sensuality" and if you like sweet floral, almost candy floss perfumes this is the scent for you (interestingly all my male friends seem to be able to instantly recognise this perfume and profess to loving it). It reminds me a lot of Lush's Snow Fairy shower gel (which I bulk buy at Christmas) and although it isn't a perfume I wear every day, it does smell very sweet, it is a great pick me up scent which is perfect for summer evenings or when you want a summery boost - whenever I wear it I feel instantly happy which is always a bonus. It is a very floral, girly scent so if you usually prefer muskier or woodier perfumes this may not be for you but it is very fresh and feminine so if you like light floral fragrances it is a good option.
It also lasts well but is not too overpowering like some perfumes.
This is one of the best things about this perfume - at around £25 for 50ml in Boots it is very good value for money but you don't compromise on quality in anyway.
Fantasy launched with the phrase "because everybody has one" by Britney Spears in 2005. Following her first perfume Curious, which had been very successful.
Its from Elizabeth Arden and Its notes are;
Red lychee, Golden Quince, Kiwi, Cupcake accord, jasmine petals, white chocolate, orchid, musk, orris root, and sensual woods, being described as sweet smelling and floral with a hint of cupcake and white chocolate. I can honestly say I hadn't notice this but I do really like the smell and have frequently been asked what I'm wearing as people have liked the fragrance and it seems to last all day.
The box it comes in is very bright and cheerful and opens up like a flower, with a big green bow on the top and almost too nice to throw away. The bottle is an equally glamorous pink creation with sparkly stones attached, which are said to be real swarovoski chrystals.
It comes in a range of sizes, 30ml -100ml will set you back £15.50 - £24.45 (amazon) but they are often on offer in beauty and pharmacy shops.
Confession time.... I absolutely adore this perfume and it is my all time favourite, but I do find the celebrity trade mark and the pink bottle embarrassing to buy, this said, I am currently on my 3rd bottle.
I score this perfume 4 out of 5, it would be a 5 but I find the bottle just a bit too over the top.
I am an absolute perfume addict but to be honest, I have always stayed away from Celebrity perfumes such as the ones by Jennifer Lopez and Paris Hilton. I first came across Britney Spears seconds perfume, Fantasy when I was in the duty free at London Gatwick airport and I thought I'd give it a spray to see what it was like. To my surprise, I actually really liked it, so promptly put it on my Christmas list! My older brother bought it for me this Christmas and it has taken pride of place on my perfume shelf ever since.
The Packaging
Fantasy comes in a square box which has a metallic pink triangle on it. In the middle of the triangle are the words Fantasy and Britney Spears which are written in metallic gold writing. The rest of the box is really colourful with colours such as bright pink, blue and green all swirled together. The box has a lime green ribbon tied over it, and to undo the box, you have to untie the ribbon. Once the ribbon is untied the four sections of the box fall open. I have to say the box for this perfume has a really nice presentation to it, very elegant and girlie.
The bottle itself is also very striking and made from glass. The bottle is round and bright pink, although you can still see through it which is useful as you can always tell how much you have left. The bottle also has little diamontes all over it which really makes this bottle of perfume stand out from the others I have on my perfume shelf.
You can buy Fantasy By Britney Spears from various places such as Boots, Superdrug and many online stores. Currently, at Boots, this perfume retails at £22 for 30ml, £27 for 50ml and £39 for 100ml.
The Perfume
According to the website, this perfume has all sorts of ingredients including kiwi, red lychee. Jasmine petals, musk, white chocolate orchid, orris roots and sensual woods. Personally, I adore this perfume, I think that it is incredibly girlie and certainly smells different from other perfumes on the market. On several occasions when I have been wearing this perfume, people have asked what it is. This perfume also has excellent lasting power, I put a few sprays on it the morning before work and can still easily smell it by the end of the day although the fragrance does get lighter with time. You don't really need tp use very much of this perfume either as a little goes a long way and lasts a long time too, you can't really ask for much more from a perfume!
Who Would This Perfume Suit?
This perfume would suit anyone who likes a feminine perfume. If you are more into the woody scents that I would definitely advise you t steer clear of this one. This perfume is almost sickly sweet (but not in a bad way) and would be most suited to girlie girls.
This is Britney Spears second perfume, her first one was called Curious, then she released Fantasy and her most recent one is Midnight Fantasy. Every perfume can be bought in a range of sizes such as 30ml, 50ml and 100ml and they can also be bought in gift packs too.
I would certainly recommend this product. It has totally changed my view of 'Celebrity' perfumes as before smelling this, I thought they most of them wouldn't even be worth trying! As I already said, this isn't a perfume for anyone who prefers their perfumes spicy or woody but if you like sweet, feminine fragrances, then give this product a try.
This is a review of Britney Spears Fantasy Eau de Parfum Spray for Women which I received as a Christmas present. It would not have been one that I would have chosen for myself but I thought I'd give it a try before deciding whether to pass it on to a friend.
First impressions
I was pleasantly surprised by this fragrance, it wasn't bad at all. I was expecting something quite loud and brash but it was more floral and feminine and quite a strong fragrance. For the past year I had been wearing a subtle citrus fragrance as pregnancy made my stomach turn whenever I smelt a strong perfume but I'm over that now.
Fragrance bottles are really important to me. I like them to look nice on display in the bedroom or bathroo and this bottle is certainly one fit for a pink princess! I think the shape is great to hold, it's finished off with sparkly diamontes and is a real dressing table diva's pink bottle. I just wish I had a dressing table for it to go on!!
What's in it?
* Top notes: Red lychee, golden quince, kiwi
* Heart notes: Cupcake accord, jasmine petals, white chocolate orchid
* Base notes: Musk, orris root, woods
100ml of edp retails on Amazon for £23.35.
My thoughts
I found this fragrance really pleasant and would never have guessed it was one of Britney's perfumes! I am so glad I received this as a gift as I would have never even tested it in store. Price wise I think this is an OK price for 100ml but I personally would not want to pay any more than this for a celebrity endoresed fragrance. Fruity and sweet is a good way of describing the smell and it is really long lasting too. I can pick up the vanilla notes, which probably explain the cupcake in the heart notes.
Final word
Obviously fragrance is a very personal choice and what one likes, another may detest. I would say this is more of a younger fragrance but that doesn't mean someone older may not like it. I think it's a pretty safe bet as a gift as I have had many compliments when wearing this product. I am not looking to buy any more at the moment but would certainly consider it in the future if I have the spare cash.
I'm such a fan of all Britneys perfumes and theres no reason not to be! This perfume is amazing! It stays on for a long time, I could go out at 9am in the morning and still smell as sweet on the night, it sticks on your clothing! This is one of my favourite perfumes and always will be, the fragrance is so strong I could bathe in it! I would reccommend this perfume highly, its for you if you love sweet smells! And for only £14.00 its such a good price for what you get.
I was bought this fragrance many years ago when I was in school and instantly loved the extremely sweet smell. From then on I started to buy this as my favourite fragrance and people in my school actually said they knew if I was near because of this perfume I wore. It actually saved me from getting in a spot of trouble once too (long story). Also people commented that when they smelt it they were reminded of me.
Then as I got older I ran out of perfume and money so I stopped buying it altogether.
Today, I received a sample of it in one of my beauty boxes. I was reminded of the sweet, sweet smell and it brought back memories.
Smelling it now, it is very sickly sweet, not in a bad way but I can imagine a lot of people would find this way too sweet to wear.
It smells like you've walked into a candy store or something. You really don't need to apply much as its strong and last most of the day.
I remember the bottle was lovely, bright pink with little studs and a round body and lid. It looks gorgeous on a dressing table.
People do refer to this as a 'young persons' perfume, which I agree to a certain extent - a lot of older buyers would still enjoy this but also it being by Britney Spears, it attracts a younger audience. (Although Britney's pretty old school now!)
Overall - sweet, strong, thick scent, beautiful bottle and a fun fragrance.
I'm not really one for celebrity perfumes as the half decent ones have almost the price tag of a designer fragrance, with the £10 bargain bin ones usually smelling of cat wee. One I do like however is Fantasy by Britney Spears; at £25 for a 50ml Eau de Parfum I think it's reasonably priced, the fragrance being amazingly well blended and smelling gorgeously girly.
I was expecting Fantasy to be feminine as soon as I saw it though, not because I consider Britney to be a girly girl (she's definitely not!) but due to the fact that the bottle is so... pink. Completely and utterly pink; a pretty (and slightly unusual) round bottle which screams Arabian market to me, small crystals are dotted around the bottle which gives it a real prettiness - although be warned, these crystals do come off if you're not careful as six of mine have. There are sunken dots underneath the crystals so there's still some pattern on the bottle, but I felt it lost some of its personality when the crystals dropped off. The complaint I have about the bottle is that the lid is very loose and very round - this means it will fall off, and it will roll away never to be seen again. It doesn't matter as the spray portion of the bottle is also pink in colour so it looks incredibly pretty with or without the lid, it's just annoying.
Just the right amount of perfume sprays out so I usually use five bursts; one for each side of my neck, a spray on each wrist and a cheeky cleavage spray. It's not a massively strong perfume but builds up nicely if you're liberal with application, I've worn it to go to the pub once and felt it lasted well but needed such regular reapplication that eventually I just let my fragrance die off as I couldn't be bothered fighting my way to the loo every forty-five minutes. During the day it's better, when it's not having to compete the fragrances of a multitude of different women and in a more open environment. Reapplication is crisp so you don't need to be too strict about timing; whatever residue remains of the previous spray simply adds depth due to the top and base notes being very similar, in smell if not in name.
Throughout the Fantasy fragrance is a delicious vanilla tone, which I fell in love with immediately. It reminds me of one of Yankee Candle's cake inspired tarts and is almost exactly how I'd image it to transfer to a cosmetic product - I think, although I'm open to being corrected, you'd need to like the smell of vanilla to really appreciate Fantasy and I'm certain it would be too sweet for a lot of women. My daughter hates the smell of it, she likes spicier more masculine fragrances and used the words 'too *eugh* girly' when I asked her what she thought of it - my über-feminine-in-a-sexy-kinda-way cousin has used Fantasy as her signature fragrance since it came out, it's that type of perfume.
When first sprayed Fantasy has a light fruity fragrance, it smells of melon to me despite this not being listed as a specific note - maybe this comes from the lychee and kiwi blend, although to be honest I can't pick either of these out and to me it's simply a nice generalised 'watery fruit' mixed with vanilla fragrance. It's strange because the sweetness of the perfume shouldn't really suit it, the fruity notes being so wishy-washy, but they compliment one another beautifully and create a completely delicious opening to an overall gorgeous perfume.
The fruitiness wears off quite quickly but the vanilla is constant, there's a brief burst of easily recognisable fresh jasmine but this soon changes to a more complete 'cake' smell which is absolutely stunning (to me, a 'sweet' perfume lover). I've always thought, and said to a couple of people, that this perfume has a period where I can smell a really dusty orchid - I should have checked the notes before as they've confirmed that *I* am right and my know-it-all sixteen year old is wrong, with with White Chocolate Orchid being listed as a middle note. I really like this middle section of Fantasy as it wafts around and is always changing, it's significantly floral but the ever-present vanilla tones it down nicely and prevents it ever becoming cloying or old fashioned.
I can't actually detect any of the base notes, finding that on my skin it returns to a mildly fruity fragrance which is slightly more robust than when I initially apply the perfume. The sweet smell lingers but develops a muskier scent which is surprisingly grown up considering how sugary the rest of the perfume is! I wouldn't say this is ever a sophisticated perfume, but it's fun and flirty with a real down to earth persona - just how I'd sum up Britney actually!
The lifespan of Fantasy is around four hours, which isn't great as the sweetness of the fragrance gives it quite a delicate edge and that makes the perfume fade noticeably over this time which is disappointing for me as the wearer but I'm reassured that other people can still smell my fragrance right to the end. I love the overall experience of wearing Fantasy however so will happily take the time to reapply (mostly!), I've already decided to buy it again and I still have half a bottle left - I've worn and liked Britney fragrances in the past but this is one is so pretty and well put together that's it made me look at her range with more respect.
~Britney Spears Fantasy~
Britney Spears teamed up with Elizabeth Arden to offer a collection of endorsed fragrances. The 'Fantasy' collection includes four scents..
*Midnight Fantasy
*Hidden Fantasy
*Secret Fantasy
Today, I will be discussing the original Fantasy which is available in a eau de parfum and a body souffle. The official description for this EDP is 'a magic love potion of sweet temptation that leaves a tantalizing trail of embracing sensuality'.
~The Fragrance Notes~
As with other fragrances, Fantasy EDP has been created using three sets of fragrance notes. These fragrance notes develop on the skin over time :
*Top notes (the initial burst of fragrance on the skin) - golden quince, exotic kiwi and red lychee
*Heart notes (the main body of the fragrance) - jasmine petals, cupcake accord, white chocolate accord
*Base notes (the drydown fragrance) - orris root, creamy musk and sensual woods
As you can see from the above fragrance notes, Fantasy EDP would fall into the sweet/fruity fragrance family.
Each bottle in the Fantasy collection is similar in design. The original EDP is presented in a round glass bottle which is a deep pink colour. The bottle has little stuck on jewels, a gem encrusted ring around the neck of the bottle and a round pink lid. Some may say the bottle looks quite cheap but I like it.
The bottle is presented in quite a large box which folds open and is very colourful.
~Price and Availability~
Fantasy EDP is a relatively cheap fragrance to buy and is available on the highstreet and online at the following prices :
*Amazon UK : £13.63-£23.95 (30ml-100ml) gift sets available £17.09-£28.00
*Boots - £12.00-£25.53 (15ml-100ml) gift set is priced at £20.00
*Cheap Smells - £13.60-£23.95 (30ml-100ml) gift sets available £17.75-£29.95
~My Thoughts~
I like quite a lot of celebrity endorsed fragrances and absolutely LOVE each of the Fantasy fragrances. I wasn't keen on Curious but will happily buy and use any of the Fantasy fragrances. Over the last few years, I have owned several bottles of Fantasy EDP. My current bottle is a 50ml size and I received it as a gift earlier this year - my best friend knows me well as this is one of my favourites.
The bottle has a spray top which when pressed down, releases a fine mist of liquid. Unlike with other 'cheap' fragrances, Fantasy doesn't give off the unpleasant, alcohol aroma after the scent hits the skin. I was impressed with the scent of Fantasy EDP from the first time I tried it. It won't appeal to all but if you adore sweet fragrances, you may well like this one. I favour sweet notes over any other so this is right up my street.
~Cupcake Scented Perfume?~
The initial aroma is absolutely gorgeous and has quite a powerful strength. The top notes are beautifully fruity and juicy. The fruity notes used are quite unusual and give the scent a unique, exotic sweetness without appearing unnatural or overpowering. At times, the top notes remind me of fruity sweeties which is very favourable. It certainly has a lovely youthful yet distinctly feminine feel to it. The top note blend is refreshingly sweet which I like and this makes it perfect for wearing during the warmer months.
The depth of the top notes lingers for a good hour or two before the decadent heart of Fantasy reveals itself. The heart is definitely my favourite part of the entire scent and smells absolutely stunning in my opinion. The main focus is on a flavoursome sweet aroma which is described as being a 'cupcake accord'. To me, it gives off a rich, sweet aroma which reminds me of sweet frosting on top of a cupcake. There is a delicate, authentic vanilla aroma through the scent which I feel is courtesy -of the white chocolate accord. The sweetness appeals to me. The jasmine petals adds an addition twist to the heart and takes the edge of the sweetness. It adds a sensual, slightly grown up tinge to the scent.
The frosting aroma and jasmine starts to fade after 4-5hours and the vanilla aroma increases slightly to form a creamy sweetness. The scent changes a little more and reveals a pleasant drydown scent. The woody notes are evident and a slight hint of musk. These notes combined with the sweet vanilla make for a gorgeous finishing scent. It remains noticeable on my skin for a few hours before weakening. The aroma is still noticeable on my clothing the next day and smells every bit as lovely. It radiates from my skin at a gorgeous strength to be detected by myself and those around me.
I will happily wear Fantasy EDP all year round but find it is perfectly suited for wearing during the warmer months. It is definitely a day time fragrance and is a lighter alternative to Midnight Fantasy (which is more suited to evening wear). Fantasy EDP is quite a girly scent. I have been using this since my late teens and I am now in my mid 20s. I still appreciate the youthful sweetness that this fragrance offers but can't imagine a more mature lady would like to wear this or receive it as a gift.
Several years on I still love Fantasy EDP. It lasts most of day on my skin and is of a decent quality. I don't feel the need to top up the scent through the day so my bottle is lasting really well. It is very unique smelling and I can pinpoint this fragrance if anyone walks past me wearing it. It certainly isn't cheap or generic smelling like some other celebrity fragrances. It is a feel good fragrance and I always feel happy when wearing it due to the perfectly arranged sweet notes.
This would make a nice, inexpensive gift for a young lady in my opinion.
Thanks for reading :)
I remember buying this perfume years ago when I was still st school or college, I believe I liked it at the time, but now its just a bit too sickly and sweet for me.
The perfume usually costs between £15 and £20 to buy these days I think, and you can still get it from most perfume shops, as well as places like Boots or Superdrug. It is a very sweet and strong smelling perfume, and this is the reason I do not like it anymore. It smells quite musky and fruity aswell, but the sweetness of this just overpowers everything else, which I dont like. I like my perfumes to be subtle so you can only smell them when you get close enough to me - with this one however I find that no matter how little you spray on, people will smell you coming from a long way off. Its a scent that I would imagine would appeal to younger people, as it did me when I was about 16/17, however it is quite a 'childish' scent so doesnt quite match my tastes now.
My favourite thing about this perfume is the bottle that it comes in, i LOVE nicely designed perfume bottles and this one looks lovely. Its round and pink, and embellished with little gems all over the bottle as well as on the neck of the bottle. The cap is also a little pink orb that pulls off with ease. The only reason I still own this perfume is because the bottle looks pretty in my bathroom, but it is still oveer half full as I havent used it in about 8 years!
Overall this is a perfect perfume for teenagers or for the younger generation, but I dont think anyone above their teens would enjoy this perfume and the scent it leaves, its incredibly strong and overpowering and very very VERY sickly and sweet. I usually love sweet smelling things being a big fan of vanilla and all things from Lush, but this one is just too much even for me!
Some might say that this fragrance should only be worn by the young but I don't think 40 is too old! I have worn this for some time after my daughter was given a bottle for a present! Every time she wore it, it was instantly recognisable with its fruity aroma. I wear it in the daytime rather than the evening as it is fresh and sweet and lasts the day.
I've had many comments when wearing it, at work my colleagues enter the room and say 'mmm, we can smell you before we see you, what is that perfume', not sure if that's good or not but I think the 'mmm' means it is! It is slightly embarrassing perhaps for a 40 year old to admit she is wearing a pop princess perfume but if you have a don't care attitude go for it! I know this scent lasts because I have even had positive comments down the gym after a full day at work.
It comes in a pink bottle studded with Swarovski crystals and comes in a very pretty looking box that is a lot larger than the product, however I think it makes a lovely present and various shops such as Superdrug and the Perfume shop often have special offers on this scent. You can normally get it for around £19.99 and I haven't met anyone who doesn't actually like it.

This migratory rose red (not purple) finch is fairly common throughout much of the northeast, Canadian provinces, and much of the Pacific coast. Generally found in less disturbed habitats than house finch. Polytypic (2 ssp.). Length 6" (15 cm).
Identification A rather chunky Carpodacus finch with a shortish, strongly notched tail. Male: body mostly rose red, brightest on the head and rump. Back brownish with noticeable streaks and pinkish ground color. Head rather bright, with distinct paler pink eyebrow contrasting with a darker cheek. Two indistinct pinkish wing bars on each wing. Lower belly whitish with varying amounts of wide blurry streaks. Undertail coverts clean white. Bill rather large, conical, with a straight culmen. Female: underparts whitish with heavy dark brown streaking that does not extend to the white undertail coverts. Head boldly patterned with whitish eyebrow and submoustachial stripe that contrast with a dark brown cheek and malar stripe. Crown and back have pale streaks. Pacific birds buffier below overall with more diffuse streaking.
Geographic Variation Range and plumage differences delineate 2 distinct subspecies. Nominate purpureus resides in the northeast and the boreal forests of southern Canada; the male has longer wings and is brighter overall, the female has a bolder head pattern and whiter underparts. The Pacific coast californicus male is less bright and has a brownish wash on its back and sides; the female is much buffier underneath with a less bold face pattern and more blurred back streaking.
Similar Species Males and females most similar to Cassin's finch, which do not overlap with each other in the east, but are more confusing in the west. Male Cassin's is lighter pink, particularly on the underparts and eyebrow.
Voice Call: a musical chur-lee, and a sharp pit given in flight. Song: a rich warbling; shorter than the Cassin's and lower pitched and more strident than the house finch. Songs of nominate subspecies more complex.
Status and Distribution Fairly common. Breeding: inhabits open coniferous forests and mixed woodland in the east and north, and montane coniferous forest and oak canyons in the west. Winter: eastern birds migrate south to lower latitudes, sometimes irrupting with major invasions south to the southern United States western birds move to lower elevations. Rare throughout much of the interior west.

Four days before Thanksgiving, a single mother of four learned that the donated food basket she was counting on, would not be coming.
"When I called to see if I could pick the basket up they told me that they were all out," Candy Griffin, Mother.
Candy's children were returning home from school with stories about Pilgrims and the Thanksgiving tradition all week long, unaware that their holiday might not include a turkey.
"I had already used my grocery money for the month," said Candy.
So the night before Thanksgiving, this mother decided to take a chance.
Griffin said, "I had to do something, figured the worse they could do is say no."
Candy biked to Herrema's Supermarket and walked up to the customer service counter on one of the store's busiest evenings.
"She said she had no way of getting anything for the Thanksgiving dinner and would appreciate any help we could give her," said Stephanie Trovato, Customer Service Attendant.
A customer service request unlike anything Stephanie had heard in her six years an an employee.
"Stephi called me up to the front and said she had a young lady there that needed some help," said Kenneth Wingate, Manager.
Candy even offered to work at the store to pay off her bill.
"A little taken back because I felt pain," said Wingate. "Thanksgiving, no food to feed the kids, I just felt in the Herrema's tradition that we had to help them out."
"We went around and we collected a lot of things people would have for Thanksgiving and we bagged them up for her," Trovato said.
"Everything from a turkey to cranberry jelly stuff," Candy said. "Milk for my babies, really went all out for me and my children."
A weight lifted, Candy headed home.
"She was riding a bicycle and she said she could make it back by walking the bike back with the groceries on the handlebars," Wingate said.
The kids didn't know the story behind this turkey.
"I didn't even know that she came home with a turkey until now, until I seen it in the oven," said Candy's son, Dillon Griffin.
But they knew what it represented.
"I'm part Indian so I respect that I can have Thanksgiving and I am grateful to have it," Dillon said.
"It's so hard to get by these days," said Candy. "You just do what you gotta do with everything. I would have felt like I couldn't provide how I was supposed to provide for my children."
"It gives me a full feeling to know that I helped someone's day like that," said Wingate. "I'm sure the owner and the past owner would have done the same thing, they help their neighbors."
After hours of preparation and anticipation, the Griffins' were able to share a Thanksgiving meal as a family.
"Thank you for the food that we have right now," said Dillon. "Thank you so much."

- The carbon speciation in the Earth's interior as function of pressure, temperature and oxygen fugacity (2011)
- The redox state of the Earth's interior will influence the speciation of volatile elements both in the mantle and in mantle derived magmas. Carbon is one of the principal elements to be affected in this way because under reducing conditions it forms graphite or diamond, and under oxidizing conditions carbonate (or CO2-bearing) minerals and melts. The cycling and residence time of carbon in the mantle can be strongly effected by the oxygen fugacity because reduced phases such as diamond and graphite are immobile and likely to remain within the mantle and potentially within subducting slabs, while at more oxidizing conditions CO2-rich fluids or melts can migrate and escape from the interior. The carbon cycle in the Earth may therefore depend on the redox state of mantle rocks. Conversely, an influx of CO2-rich fluids or melts may act to oxidize the mantle as an additional aspect of metasomatism. In the first part of this study experiments were performed to measure the oxygen fugacity at which carbon (graphite or diamond) oxidises to carbonate minerals or melts within mantle peridotite assemblages between 2.5 and 11 GPa at 1100-1600 °C. The experiments were performed up to temperatures where carbonate melts evolve towards more silicate-rich compositions. The dilution of the carbonate melt component was found to lower the relative fo2, expanding the melt stability field with respect to reduced carbon. The results allow the fo2 of the diamond formation process to be determined both as a function of pressure, temperature and melt CO2 concentration. These results also have implications for the onset of melting within up welling mantle material. Several studies have indicated that the mantle may become more reduced with depth. This means that the oxidation of elemental carbon (graphite or diamond) may occur in up welling rocks where the oxidized product is a carbonate bearing magma. When the experimental data are compared with current estimates for the fo2 of mantle rocks the implication is that peridotitic mantle will remain in the diamond stability field up to at least 100-150 km depth. Only at depths shallower than 150 km would Fe3+ in mantle silicates react with graphite to produce carbonate rich melts in a redox melting process. Redox melting should limit the depth interval over which carbonate-rich melts can form beneath ridges. Further experiments were performed to determine the fo2 at which diamond oxidises to carbonate in the transition zone and lower mantle. Experiments at 45 GPa were performed using the MADONNA D-DIA (1500 tons) apparatus with sintered diamond anvils installed at the Geodynamics Research Centre, Ehime University in Japan. The measured oxygen fugacity was found to be approximately 3 log units above the iron-wüstite oxygen buffer (deltaIW+3). As the oxygen fugacity of the transition zone and lower mantle is most likely at or below the IW buffer this confines the stability of solid carbonate to the upper mantle or to unusually oxidized regions of the deeper mantle. The oxygen fugacity at which magnesite and diamond coexist showed a slight decrease with pressure, however, implying the possibility that magnesite may become the stable host for carbon at the very base of the lower mantle. The oxygen fugacity at which mantle xenoliths equilibrated can be determined using oxy-thermobarometry equilibria. For garnet-peridotite rocks the only calibrated and tested oxy-barometer employs the equilibrium, 2Fe3Fe23+Si3O12 = 4Fe2SiO4 + 2FeSiO3 + O2 Garnet Olivine Orthopyroxene In the final section of this thesis Fe3+/ΣFe ratios of garnets produced in a peridotite assemblage in equilibrium with carbon and carbonate melts were measured between 3 and 7 GPa. The oxygen fugacity in these experiments was also constrained, which allowed a test of this widely used oxy-barometer to be made at pressures much higher than previously performed. The results indicate that the pressure dependence of this oxy-barometer may be in error and a preliminary recalibration implies that cratonic lithosphere may not be as reduced as previously considered.
