Heck of a nice looking bottle, if that's any measure of the stuff :
The Molinard website has a campaign for an EDP formulation of Habanita with this copy
HABANITA Eau de Parfum
This Eau de Parfum is a re-discovery of the alchemy of this mixture of complex essential oils. Habanita offers a new fresh side, whilst maintaining what is essential : strenght, depth, poetry, a touch of originality, unlike any other.
Its new box is simpler, more radical : elegant, contempaorary, darkand sweet at the same time. It has the same Lalique border especially designed for Habanita, a red and black invitation to discovery and re-discovery.
Listed notes:
Note de tête : Petitgrain - Citron
Note de coeur : Héliotrope - Vétiver - Cèdre - Rose centifolia - Jasmin - Mimosa - Ylang-ylang
Note de fond : Ambre - Vanille - Santal - Pachouli - Mousse de chêne
I have both vintage (60's) and modern (2009) EDTs. This is really tempting me (especially since they are having a 20% off the entire site sale this weekend)
Has anyone tried the new EDP??

Heck of a nice looking bottle, if that's any measure of the stuff :
Mine just arrived today and, at least to my nose, this is nice stuff. The original, which I do like, was just a tad too powdery for me to wear often but this EDP seems to have the vetiver turned up just enough that it is just ever so slightly more peppery than the original and thus deeper and more wearable.
Mark K
I've tried it too and it doesn't disappoint!
Molinard did a beautiful job reformulating it to make the EDP - it has the same character, ingredients, great lasting power and that amazing vetiver-vanilla accord that's to die for. It's still dark and strong, with all the leathery, tobacco-like quality of the original. The beautiful bottle is a big plus too.

5. Nasomatto Narcotic Venus
6. Molinard Habanita
7. Guerlain Samsara
8. Montale Chocolate Greedy
9. Serge Lutens Un Bois Vanille
10. Tom Ford Noir de Noir
Our own Le Mouchoir de Monsieur (aka lMdM or similar) is something of a connoisseur of Habanita - he gives the new EDP an unreserved thumbs up:
...and subsequent posts.
It's not often--or--wait--has it ever happened? that a reform -out does- the original? Considering this was "not just any" original, we have here proof that a reform can actually be an improvement, and not, as so often they are (speaking to you, here, Guerlain) yet another train wreck.
"...a Chacun son Mauvais Gout."
I bought a bottle and posted my impression on the TIB thread. Molinard has set a standard here that all other re formulators should aspire to.

I am bumping this thread to add my opinion:
I tested the new EdP just a few days ago and honestly, I am not fond of it at all. It is quieter, subtler, duller. Habanita is now a non-smoker, much more well-behaved, but still manages to smell somewhat of Habanita. For a 2012 reformulation it is probably not bad, but she lost profile, character and (her) style on the way.
Thanks for your input Larimar, good to get a balance of views

Has anyone tried the new EDP??[/QUOTE]
I wished I would have made a stock of the EDT earlier in the year when the new Habanita EDP was released. Molinard is still having 20% off but the prices everywhere really went up for the EDT. Which only emphasizes that the new one is different than what we know. I am a huge fan of the fragrance, it remains for me a masterpiece, and while you clearly find the trace of the ancestor in the new one, it's an edulcorated version only, aimed at pleasing everybody who was having a hard time loving the dark side of the original one. Habanita without the dark side is just not Habanita! All in all, such a shame!!! I wish they could only produce both in parallel, the EDT for all of us real fans of Habanita and the new EDP for whoever they planned to please with it. But it does not seem so, it seems that the EDT is discontinued and only the new EDP version remains. Another commercial incongruence in the long list of pretty, clean and soul-less reformulations.
Welcome to Basenotes, AMV. Nice to have another Habanita fan weigh in.

Bumping this to get more input on the EDT v. the EDP.
I understand they are not the same, too.
Love the EDP bottle. Very Lalique.

I'm really not liking the fact that I'm feeling better!!!! My nausea only happened for about 10 min yesterday and my boobs don't hurt at all anymore, other then a random slight nipple ache, I'm just still tired and a little congested all the sudden.
I know they say it's ok b/c I'm getting close to the 12 week point but it's making me nervous, I was hoping the queasy/boob pain would stick around until atleast my next appt so I wouldn't worry.
Around 10/11 weeks my symptoms went all wierd. First, extra awful, then nearly gone. Now today I'm a mess. I'm sure you're fine! The placenta starts taking over hormone something or other around 10 weeks and that often causes a decrease in symptoms.
But don't get too comfortable, because you never know when they will return!
CC.to.be:My night nausea is virtually gone and my extreme fatigue is only mild fatigue now. I saw my ob at 10 weeks 2 days and told her my symptoms are mostly gone and she said it was normal and I should be thankful not worried. Also got to hear the hb via doppler 170 bpm. So that calmed me down.
Good to hear your Dr said it.....I know it's normal but it still gets me a little nervous b/c it's nice to just feel something
At about 9.5 weeks my nausea went away almost completely - although one day this week I did get sick in the AM then was fine for the rest of the day. I was a bit concerned too...after feeling sick for a month everyday, it was a difference I wasn't expecting.
Luckily my boobs are still very sore, I'm still exhausted, and still peeing every hour and a half. But I have heard that around now it's very common to lose the m/s....
My boobs don't hurt anymore (but my nipples itch). My nausea is still there, but nothing like it was a few weeks ago. I'm still tired a lot, but again, not like I was where I was sleeping half the day away (and the night).
I think it's normal once you get close to the end of the first trimester. At least I hope so
From what I've read, the yolk sac will shrink now that the baby has developed to the early fetus stage and the placenta building should almost be done at this point, so you should be feeling less fatigued (no longer having that 'fall on your face' type).
My cousin, who's 7.5 months pg, told me that her m/s and fatigue went away at week 10. I'm hoping that's the case with me because the last 3 weeks were awful and this past weekend was pure hell. I felt fine on Tuesday, sick and achy on Wednesday and symptom-free again yesterday.
I feel pretty good today, no m/s (knocks on wood) and no more nerve pain. Yesterday, the baby was kicking the crap out of my nerves because I'd get a twinge first on one side, then a sharp pain down the inside part of my leg on that same side. I asked the ob yesterday about it and he said the baby was hitting that nerve, perfectly normal.
izzourclue:Seriously, I don't think anyone could calm you down. Every week from day frickin' one its a different, "my symptoms!" post from you. Its so old. At this point, you are the only one that has any hope of calming yourself down. Not trying to be mean at all, just trying to be real with you.
seriously nygirl. how many times do people need to tell you to settle down?? at 5 weeks, 6, 7, 8 , 9 and now 10!

Alfredo Benso
Position statement. Our work as scientists is to learn in order to create new knowledge, but our role as CS volunteers is to facilitate the sharing of knowledge. The CS owns a huge amount of data, collected over the years, that, if correctly mined, potentially constitutes a wealth of new information. The ability to use large amounts of stored data to create new knowledge is becoming the key to scientific excellence. The CS, in its role of "research facilitator" has the opportunity to support its members in this new trend. If elected, my plan is to promote the creation of services that can extract this knowledge and make it available to members, and to improve the quality of the data acquired in the future. This is the time for the CS to make sure that the huge amount of data generated by its different research communities is used to its maximum potential.
|Biography. Alfredo Benso is an Associate Professor in Computer Engineering at Politecnico di Torino, Italy, where he teaches operating systems, hypermedia-design, and fundamentals of computer science. He is vice chair of the PhD Programs Advisory Board.

He had teaching and research positions at the University of California San Diego and University of Texas at Austin. His research interests focus on Systems and Computational Biology. He scientifically collaborates with universities and industry on a worldwide basis. He has been involved in several Computer Society–sponsored conferences. Benso is a Senior Member of IEEE. He received from the CS three Outstanding Contribution Awards, a Continuing Service Award, and a Golden Core Award. Since 2003 he has been a volunteer in several CS committees focusing on Conferences (TMRC, T&C), Technical Committees (TAB), Products and Services (EPSB, EPSC), and, more recently, publications (DLOC). He has also been a member of the IEEE Information Technology Strategy Committee (ITSC). He has a wife from Austin, Texas, and two young children.
Gregory T. Byrd
Position statement. As a member of the Board of Governors, I will work to support and strengthen the role of the Computer Society as the premier professional society for computer engineers and computer scientists. We must foster stronger ties between our flagship conferences and our publications. We must continue to invent and exploit new technologies and modes for online publishing and education. We must support engineers at all stages of their education and careers, and recruit new generations of diverse and creative talent as members. Also, we must be good stewards of the reputation and resources of the Society, acting on behalf of the global community that we represent. I believe the Board can accomplish these goals by listening to the ideas of creative volunteers and staff, making connections among complementary efforts, and setting policy and directions that allow for innovative and effective strategies.

Vladimir Getov
Position statement. With the 75th anniversary of electronic digital computing this year, our Computer Society continues to enhance its membership diversity on a global scale while facing several important challenges. First, because technological innovation keeps accelerating, we need to offer our members new organizational models based on modern communication platforms such as social networking that match the unprecedented dynamics of the field. Second, the future of our profession belongs to the young generation of computer practitioners; the Society must develop more programs for recent graduates related to technology and career development. Third, both new organizational approaches and continuous career development can only be successful as part of a truly global collaboration which we need to develop further around the world from California, Brazil, and India to Japan, China, and Europe. Please vote for me so that I can represent you on the Computer Society's Board of Governors to address these important challenges.
Biography. Vladimir Getov is a professor of distributed and high- performance computing, research group leader and post-graduate program director at the University of Westminster, London.

Ming C. Lin
Position statement. The field of computing is constantly evolving—so should the IEEE Computer Society in order to adapt to technological changes. One current major change is the mode of publications and open access. My experience serving on the IEEE CS Pubs Board and leading major changes within IEEE TVCG well positions me to understand the issues and benefits associated with alternative publication modes. Furthermore, our society is experiencing challenges in research and education and one single technical community cannot cope with them alone. Seamless coordination should be explored with other IEEE Technical Societies and ACM on joint programs to increase visibility and impact of IEEE CS conferences and publications, to develop financially sustainable OA policies and education models, as well as cooperation with CRA and other agencies to educate the public worldwide in addressing such needs. I'd be honored to participate in such activities as a BOG member.
| Biography. Ming C. Lin received her BS, MS, and PhD in EECS from University of California, Berkeley. She is currently the John R. and Louise S. Parker Distinguished Professor of Computer Science at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and an honorary Chair Professor at Tsinghua University, China.

David Lomet
Position statement. The Computer Society is a great resource for computing technologists, supporting and encouraging the drivers of our field: conferences, periodicals, education, communities—at international scale. Now it must adapt to the environment enabled by prior successes, while ensuring sustainable finances and technical excellence.
Embracing this environment means increasing international focus, entry into new areas, more high-quality conferences, open access, online communities, etc. The CS is well positioned, but it needs a new business model. It must reach out to technical leaders and Technical Committees--empowering them to expand on prior successes. It needs to exploit technologies it helped create--big data, cloud, mobility, online learning, and communities. I will draw on research, development, and academic experience to further this agenda.
These challenges require involvement of many-members, TC chairs, Society leaders, and staff. I ask you for your support and to engage with me to preserve and strengthen the CS.

Forrest Shull
Position statement. The Computer Society is facing several challenges today, which require a careful approach to piloting new initiatives and fact-based analysis to determine which are worth further investment. Throughout my career, I have focused on using metrics to help stake- holders assess research technologies for best fit and maximum impact. Applying this strategy to Society initiatives would provide hard numbers for data-driven decisions based on cost, impact, and usefulness—allowing the Society to allocate precious resources to the right projects.
For example, periodicals are among our most visible ways of reaching members, but in the current environment, success requires offering more than just printed matter that competes for readers' attention. I will work across Society publications to implement the outreach mechanisms that have been successful during my tenure as Editor in Chief of Software, and monitor their ability to provide better connections to members using new media, new formats, and new events.

Albert Y. Zomaya
Position statement. Computing is a dynamic discipline and the IEEE Computer Society needs to be an agile organization that can deal with the continuously changing nature and role of computing. The range of leadership roles that I have taken within the IEEE and outside it, and also the wealth of contacts that I have built over the years can be brought to bear on many of the challenges that face the Computer Society. The Society is going through many exciting changes and this requires concerted efforts by its leadership to ensure its financial viability while providing high quality outcomes for its stakeholders. It is imperative that the Society consolidates its revenue streams to help provide a viable yet a high quality service. Also, there is a need to develop cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary communication channels to widen the membership base. I am in a good position to assist with these challenges.

4 shot in Detroit after fight over tax refundFebruary 28, 2014 @ 8:33 pm
DETROIT (AP) - A man involved in a dispute over a tax refund check opened fire at a Detroit tax preparation business on Friday afternoon, wounding four employees.
Police say the alleged gunman was arrested running from the scene and a woman involved in the dispute turned herself in later in the day.
The shooting happened at Tax City Tax Service on the city's east side.
Deputy Police Chief Rodney Johnson said the woman became upset when her tax refund wasn't ready Friday and started scuffling with the guard. Johnson said the man with her pulled a gun and started shooting.
The security guard was wounded, as were three other employees.
One victim was in critical condition, while the other three were listed in serious condition.
"There were no fatalities, thank goodness," Johnson said.
Johnson said a passer-by flagged down a police officer and pointed out the suspect, who was arrested less than a block from the shooting.
Police had been looking for the woman, but Johnson said she walked into a police precinct and turned herself in Friday evening.

I have owned an Amazon Kindle for several years now (since they first came out). In that time, I have seen e-book prices rise to the point where they are indistinguishable from those of large scale retail outlets such as Costco or Walmart. Considering the costs to publish an ebook are significantly less than publishing and distributing a hard copy, this is flat out price gouging. I plan on purchasing only paper copies and will encourage others to do the same to protest such corporate greed in the ebook industry.
Simon & Schuster Creates New Global Ebook Strategy Position

SuitesBoth of the suites at Bishop's Court are located on the upper floor, making the most of the lovely views of the gardens and Table Mountain in the background.
Like the standard rooms, the suites are bright and airy and decorated in muted colours of cream and blue, with doors leading out on to a private patio with chairs and a small table – the basic difference is that the suites are even larger, and they have an outdoor bath and shower as well as the indoor one.
The bedroom in each suite has a large double bed with a dark wood headboard and two comfy armchairs – one in each corner. Here you will find more fresh flowers picked from the garden.
Between the bedroom and the bathroom is a spacious dressing area with built-in dressing table and walk-in cupboards.
The whole suite is fully air-conditioned.
The large tiled bathroom has a free-standing, claw-footed bath, a glass screened shower, double basins and a toilet.
A door leads out of the bathroom into a private walled courtyard with an outdoor shower. The luxurious outdoor bath is set into a wooden timber deck, with a stunning and ornate mosaic wall. Potted palm trees and ferns give this private area a lush and tropical feel.

Oct 31, 2013 8:57 AM
PROVO, Utah - During "pillow talk," a mistress of a former Utah doctor on trial in the death of his wife testified that he once explained to her how someone could be induced to have a heart attack that would seem natural
Anna Walthall quoted Martin MacNeill as saying, "'There's something you can give someone that's natural that's a heart attack that's not detectable after they have a heart attack.'"
During her testimony Wednesday, Walthall said that she began a six-month affair with MacNeill in 2005 when he was a consulting doctor at a laser hair removal clinic that she operated.
She said that MacNeill described the heart attack method during "pillow talk."
The trial continues Thursday with testimony expected from the medical examiner who said the cause of death for Michele MacNeill was undetermined.
Defense lawyers have argued that she had a heart attack and fell into a bathtub in April 2007 in the family home in Pleasant Grove, about 35 miles south of Salt Lake City.
Defense lawyers challenged Walthall by getting her to acknowledge she had been diagnosed with what was formerly called multiple personality disorder, but she insisted she was giving a true account of Martin MacNeill's statement.
Earlier in the day, two daughters of the MacNeills testified that their father had hired another mistress, Gypsy Willis, as a nanny soon after his wife died, but Willis did not cook or take care of the children and went to their father's bedroom at night.
Sabrina MacNeill, 19, testified that Willis didn't do anything a nanny would be expected to do.
"She made spaghetti once, and that was the only time she cooked," said Sabrina MacNeill. "She didn't do anything."
Another daughter, Alexis Somers, testified that Willis would come and go throughout the day, seemingly more focused on the doctor than the children.
Prosecutors say Martin MacNeill, 57, hounded his wife, Michele MacNeill, to get cosmetic surgery then knocked her out with painkillers and left her to die in a bathtub. His motive, they said, was to get rid of his wife so he could be with Willis.
Somers testified that her father bullied her mother to get the face-lift and insisted the plastic surgeon prescribe an unusual combination of painkillers and other drugs for her recovery.
Two days after the surgery, Somers said, she confronted her father after finding her mother knocked out by the powerful drugs.
Somers, also a doctor, recalled her father saying, "'I must have given her too much medicine.'"
Michele MacNeill had tried to delay the surgery until she could reduce her high blood pressure and weight and to wait until her daughter could help take care of her, Somers said.
Somers, who has adopted her mother's maiden name, described an argument between her parents about the timing of the surgery.
"He got angry at my mom and said, 'If you don't have the surgery now, you're not getting it,'" Somers testified.

I love getting out into nature and seeing the beauty of God's creation. I love waterfalls, streams, redwoods, vistas, flowers and sunsets, so my hike favorites reflect that. Click on the thumbnails to see bigger pictures or go to the full-sized version, which has bigger pics.
Here are just a few of my favorite local hikes. Click on the name of the hike to go to the wonderful Bay Area Hiker site for more details on that hike.
Berry Falls
A 12-mile loop goes to Berry Falls and also three other falls, equally beautiful. I love the hike for the redwoods, creeks and waterfalls. Note that the Bay Area hiker description is from the beach, whereas I prefer to hike from park headquarters.
This is Berry Falls in the winter.
This is Berry Falls in summer.
Fall Creek
This unit of Henry Cowell State Park is a far cry from the main park. It is secluded, shady and centers around a year-round creek in a canyon with lots of trees -- conifers and desiduous -- both fallen and standing.
The main trail meanders along Fall Creek.
Fallen logs make lovely little waterfalls.
Bucolic views like this are common.
Alamere Falls
What's not to love about this hike? You hike along the Pacific over rolling hills, with fantastic vistas alternating with hillside views, then you get to this incredible waterfall that dives down to the Pacific. The last part of the trail to the falls is slightly hairy, but really not dangerous. The trail down to the base of the falls (on the right side of the cliff /stream looking out) is a little more dangerous, but quite doable. My only negative about this hike is the long drive to Marin from Palo Alto.
Alamere Falls in Marin crashes into the Pacific.
This is the view from the top of Alamere.
And this is from the base of the falls.
Mission Peak
This hike is a nice workout (one of the biggest elevation changes in the Bay Area), curving through pastoral lands up to Mission Peak and a spectacular view of the Bay. As you hike, the whole Bay Area opens before you. My route goes up the main trail and down Horse Heaven. Horse Heaven trail is VERY MUDDY in deep winter, but not bad once things have dried out a bit. These pictures were from a day when the bay was blanketed in fog.
The trail curves up the hills through meadows and lone trees.
The view from the top is spectacular, even when there is fog.
Horse Heaven trail wanders far from the crowds of the main trail.
Sunsets are long and beautiful.

It's time for another MFTWSC sketch! For this week's sketch I decided to break out one of my favorite older dies, the Umbrella Die-namics. As a girl who lives in a rainy area, I love a good, bright umbrella!
I used the Circle STAX 1 and Circle STAX 2 Die-namics to create the main panel on my card. The umbrella fit perfectly inside the circles. The sentiment comes from the coordinating Umbrella Sentiments stamp set. The small tag was created with the Notched Tag Die-namics.
On the inside of the card I added another sentiment from the Umbrella Sentiments collection. I stamped the sentiment on a flag created with the Fishtail Flags Die-namics. I also added another little heart from the Notched Tag Die-namics set.
To play along with us this week all you need to do is follow the sketch, upload your creation to SCS using the keyword MFTWSC112. Join us this week in the MFT forum for lots of chatter and fun! Be sure to check out Kim's Blog, she will have a full list of all the designers participating in today's challenge!

Backlash after ABC announces cast change on 'The View'
Updated On: Jul 16 2013 06:28:53 PM EDT
Barbara Walters called Jenny McCarthy "fun, uninhibited, and opinionated," but it's her opinions on childhood vaccinations that have critics blasting ABC's decision to bring McCarthy on as co-host of "The View" this September.
"I think it's irresponsible, frankly," said Dr. Claire McCarthy, a pediatrician at Boston Children's Hospital who writes the "M.D. Mama" blog. "I worry about giving her a really big stage, a really big microphone, and that's she's going to scare people for reasons that are just not reasons."
Jenny McCarthy is known as much for her hosting gigs as she is for her anti-vaccination stance. Over the years, she's used her celebrity to bring awareness to the vaccine-autism debate, being very vocal about her belief that vaccines caused her son Evan's autism and the now repeatedly discredited belief that the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine causes autism.
"We're seeing more cases of measles now because people are afraid of vaccination, and I think that to some extent, Jenny McCarthy has to carry some of that responsibility," said Dr. McCarthy.
According to a 2008 USA Today/Gallup poll, of the one in four adults that said they were familiar with Jenny McCarthy's views about vaccine, 40 percent said her claims made them more likely to question vaccine safety.
Today, about 10 percent of parents now skip or delay recommended shots because of safety concerns.
"Once you're afraid, especially if it's something related to your child, it's hard to undo that feeling, and when you start scaring people based on information that has no basis in fact, that is not backed up by evidence, you can do real harm," said Dr. McCarthy.
ABC is not commenting publicly about the brewing backlash, but Barbara Walters has come out publicly in support of Jenny McCarthy.

From January this year, our regular weekly classes take place on Thursdays, 2pm – 4pm at MDI. Running since January 2014, the classes have gone from strength to strength, with participants learning about the swashbuckling pirate ballet Le Corsaire, Russell Maliphant's Second Breath and later in the year, the epic fairy tale love story, Swan Lake . Find out more about Dance for Parkinson's in Liverpool .
Look out for the new term dates in Oxford in 2014, delivered in partnership with Oxford City Council. The first of our successful regional partnerships – this class continues in the autumn term inspired by the enchanting tale of Coppélia, touring to Oxford New Theatre in October 2014. Find out more about Dance for Parkinson's in Oxford
"It has encouraged us to try something new, exercise our bodies and minds. I know more about ballet, and to forget I have Parkinson's for a couple of hours a week has been a most positive experience too." - Participant, English National Ballet Dance for Parkinson's programme

At my job we use a number of web based applications for every-day work: a ticketing/bug tracking tool, a code review tool, a company wiki, a source control repository browser, a database administration tool, and of course the actual product we develop. I have most of these web sites open all day, every day. I would start my day launching my browser, then opening a bookmarked folder as tabs – so each little web app would have it's own tab in the right order. Then I'd have another browser window open to my local copy of our product, with a tab open to the staging server. If I needed to go read documentation for something online, I'd have yet another browser window open for that.
This teetering arrangement of browser tabs would then fall apart when I clicked a link to a ticket in an email notification (opening yet another tab in the wrong browser window). Once I accidentally destroyed a live database table because I got my windows mixed up. Whoops.
With iron resolve and kung-fu like discipline you might be able to keep only one window or tab open at a time, closing out all others as soon as you're focus shifts. Unfortunately I'm fresh out of iron resolve and my kung-fu is weak.
Fluid is a app that lets you turn websites into an app for your mac. Fluid creates a web browser that loads only one page. For example, if you use Google Docs you could launch Fluid, give it the URL for docs, give it a name (like 'Docs'), and optionally give it an icon.
Fluid will create "Docs.app" and save it in your Applications folder. You can double click the app icon and go right to Google Docs. The app works just like any Mac app. It shows up in Launchpad, Spotlight search, in your dock, and when you Command-tab to switch applications.
The basic version of Fluid is free, but for $4.99 you can upgrade to get features like full screen mode (in Lion) and other neato features. It's cheap. Support your indie software developer.
Browser Fairy
Having all my web apps in their own application is great, but if I got an email notification to a bug or wiki update, the links would still open in my default browser. Now I've got the bug tracker open in two places. Boo.
Browser Fairy is an app available in the Mac App store which sort of sits between links and any browser you have installed.
You set up Browser Fairy by making it your default browser. Then you tell Browser Fairy about all the browsers on your system. When you click on any URL anywhere, Browser Fairy intercepts it, and then re-routes it to a browser your choose.
For example, if your company's timesheet tool only works in Firefox, you give Browser Fairy the base url (maybe http://timesheet.jobbity.job) and anytime you you click a link to the timesheet app, it will automatically open in Firefox, while all of your other links open in Safari.
Since Fluid apps are just single-serving web browsers, Browser Fairy treats them like Firefox, Chrome, or Safari. So I can configure wiki links to go to my wiki app, bug links to the bug tracker, code reviews to the code review app, etc. All other links go to Safari.
It takes a little bit of work to configure, but you only have to do it once – and once it's done it's like magic. Any time I get a bug notification email, the link opens my bug tracking app, not my main web browser. If the bug tracking app isn't open…Browser Fairy will open it so I don't have to keep 10 things open all the time.
Browser Fairy is $4.99 in the App Store – with Fluid apps they're a super-duper productivity enhancing duo.

It's a truism of the cruise business: The bigger the ship, the more hassles there are embarking and disembarking at the beginning and end of a voyage.
But officials at Fort Lauderdale's Port Everglades say the much-ballyhooed, 5,400-passenger Oasis of the Seas -- by far the largest cruise ship ever built -- will be an exception to the rule when it debuts at the port later this year.
Industry watcher Johanna Jainchill of Travel Weekly today quotes port director Phillip Allen as saying the port plans on moving passengers from "curbside to shipboard in 15 minutes."

ALSO ONLINE: Norwegian Cruise Line unveils new concept in cabins
"With 6,000 people, you can well imagine the challenges we face," the news outlet quotes Allen as saying. But Travel Weekly says Allen is confident the port can manage the crowds.
In anticipation of the arrival of the Royal Caribbean vessel, which debuts in November, the port has done extensive renovations to one of its terminals to allow passengers to flow quickly on and off the ship. The port boasts that the terminal is now the largest single-ship cruise terminal in the world.
Cruise Loggers, share your thoughts on the terminal expansion and the boarding process for Oasis in the comment area below.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Listen to the news story
California Governor Jerry Brown hits the campaign trail again in support of his November tax initiative.
For the first time since August, California Governor Jerry Brown is back on the campaign trail touting his November sales and income tax initiative.
"Yes on 30! Yes on 30!"
At a lunchtime rally at UCLA, Brown challenged the crowd of students to help end the state's persistent budget deficits:
"Proposition 30 is an opportunity for the people themselves not only to fix California but to send a message to the rest of the country that we as a people can invest together in our schools and our community colleges and in the great University of California."
But Aaron McLear with the No on 30 campaign says voters should force the governor and state lawmakers to make better budget decisions:
"Go back to the drawing board. Prioritize education over your pay raises, your bullet train, your pensions. And make sure that we're getting the money to the right place."
Brown faces a tougher task than he did during his last campaign swing. Prop 30 still leads in the polls, but it's slipped of late and is now hovering at around 50 percent support.

December 2005 Community Report
Happy Holidays!
Legislation authored by Assemblywoman Joan Millman banning the placement of handbills and flyers on the entire automobile went into effect this past month. The new law updated old legislation which only banned the placement of flyers on car windshields. By updating the legislation car owners will be free from annoying flyers and the streets will remain clean.
"This is an important measure that will help rid our streets of litter and control the advertisement assault that New Yorkers face on a daily basis," said Millman.
Assemblymember Joan Millman joined NYC Parks and Recreation Commissioner Adrian Benepe, and Tupper Thomas, Executive Director Prospect Park Alliance to cut the ribbon for the newly created Nature Trail in Prospect Park. The Nature Trail will provide a recreational and educational tour through the woodlands of the Park.
Also at the meeting Millman announced $50,000 she secured to make capital improvements in the Park. The money will be spent on installing new restrooms near the Parade Grounds. The new facilities will especially benefit the youth athletes who use the nearby sports fields. "Providing resources to maintain our City's open spaces has always been a priority of mine. Brooklynites have been enjoying Prospect Park for years and it is important that we keep it that way," said Millman.
|Millman with the The Prospect Park Alliance at the ribbon cutting for the new Nature Trail
From December 3rd through December 16th, 2005, Assemblywoman Joan Millman, along with local Eagle Scouts, will be conducting a toy drive to benefit needy Brooklyn families. The toy drive, Josh Gallo's Eagle Scout project, is being coordinated by local Troops 213 in Downtown Brooklyn and 815 in Cobble Hill. Assemblywoman Millman's office, 341 Smith Street, will be a drop-off location for donated toys.
On December 17th, the donated toys will be given to St. John's Bread and Life, an organization that services over 1,800 needy families in Brooklyn and Queens. St. John's also provides legal and medical clinics, referral and advocacy services, as well as soup kitchens and food pantries.
Suggested items for donation are board games, educational toys and games, action toys, dolls, drawing kits, puzzles, books, and sports-related toys for children aged one to fifteen. Donations should be new and unwrapped.
"It is a great pleasure to work with the Eagle Scouts on this project," said Assemblywoman Millman. "This toy drive will help spread the holiday cheer to many children throughout Brooklyn."
In addition to Assemblywoman Millman's office, other locations with collection boxes are: Ben & Jerry's on Atlantic Avenue, St. Charles Borromeo Church on Sidney Place, and Farmer's Market on Court Street.
Assemblywoman Millman announced last month that the Clinton Street library is now accessible to all members of the community. Earlier this year, an elevator was installed at the Carroll Gardens branch to provide disabled patrons access to the library, but until recently the elevator was not available on a regular basis. Millman urged the Brooklyn Public Library to open the elevator during all library hours and to post signs letting the public know that it is available - soon after these changes were made. The elevator allows disabled individuals to enjoy the library, and is also very useful to the many families with children in strollers. "The library is a wonderful resource which is now easily accessible to everyone," said Millman.
Assemblymember Millman with the cooperation of Health Plus donated twenty-five turkeys to the Times Plaza Senior Center in Cobble Hill this past Thanksgiving. The turkeys were used to feed seniors who had no other means of finding a good Thanksgiving meal. Also on Thanksgiving, Millman volunteered in serving dinner at the Heights and Hill Community Council.

APM SaaS现已推出!
所有Foglight性能监控产品的核心,都是一个独特的自适应平台,该平台可确保无缝集成。 通过单视窗查看数据中心基础架构和应用程序,获得单个版本报告,从而促进跨团队的合作。
通过我们专业人士云集的社区,令您的性能监测投资获得最大回报。 获取专业建议、与同行合作,以及查看指导视频、播客和博客。
Business Wire"The ability of Foglight to alert us to changes from the norm was a major selling point. Instead of feeding in hundreds of parameters, it automatically establishes baselines for our custom code and warns us when deviations occur. Immediately upon implementation we were receiving valuable, actionable information in more detail and faster than when we gathered it manually. The time to value is impressive."
EVP National Marketing"Literally within an hour, Foglight was collecting and categorizing data, and we were able to find everything. Most other tools like this require an extensive learning process where you have to dedicate a top-notch staff member to go figure it out and get it all working, but Foglight worked seamlessly right out of the box."
ConTe.it"Since implementing Foglight, we have reduced inefficiencies in the quote request section of the website by 20 to 30 percent. This result is really meaningful, because it is directly related to our core business. Inefficiencies such as customers hanging on for a long time with the call center, or with the website due to connection peaks, cost us tens of thousands of Euros per day. Foglight has allowed us to cut these losses and to get a rapid return on our investment."
EVP National"Foglight has continued to deliver the quick issue resolution that Diamond Resorts International expected, actually saving the time that would otherwise be required of one IT team member. Issues that used to require a day's work or more to diagnose are now often resolved in 30 minutes or less."
Wet Seal"Foglight has also delivered significant productivity improvements for Wet Seal's IT staff, saving 40 hours a week of programming time by streamlining troubleshooting and enabling a proactive approach to application performance management. "Development staff used to spend a fair amount of time helping to identify and diagnose problems. With Foglight, we can turn that responsibility over to the network staff, knowing they can troubleshoot issues quickly. That extra savings has resulted in our applications getting into production faster because of fewer distractions and better quality, requiring less rework and user tests."
Datale"As we used Foglight® [User Experience Monitoring] an epiphany came to us that this is transient, relevant data. IT's not simply a macro view of customer data, but dynamic, real-time data that can provide immediate analysis for our customers."
Online Catalogue Retailer"Before, the only way we found problems was when customers called us. Now, we are catching problems before the customer does. In fact, in most cases, we resolve the issue before the customer notices. It's making a difference."
Mando"As we built our global ERP system, we required a systematic monitoring system to efficiently manage resources and prevent failure. By deploying Quest Foglight, we were able to systematically control almost all of our IT resources and quicken our response to operational failures. As a result, we were able to handle general system risk management and prevent critical failures that might affect manufacturing, thus providing stable business support."
McKinney"What the product allowed us to do was actually complete the stream from the end user all the way back through the network — to be able to determine where the problem was. And many times, we would know about a problem before the end-user."
Darigold, Inc."Quest has not only helped us solve our performance problems; Quest has helped simplify our environment. Now we have one place to go to look for database or Linux problems: We go to the Foglight dashboards and then drill down using the Quest tools [Foglight]. With everything all in one place, we can get to the answers much more quickly and keep our users happy."
Home Box Office, Inc."Without Stat, we estimate that, due to other deliverables, it would have taken us two extra months to implement Oracle E-Business."
Papa John's International"Our number one objective was to address audit/SOX compliance, which the product has accomplished. But we have also achieved approximately a 5% gain in productivity per year. This is directly related to rework avoidance, automated migrations, audit responses, reporting, and built-in workflows. A guesstimate for this would be $50,000 savings per year"
