It is impossibe to reach his office staff. Follow up appts post surgery are nearly impossible. His surgical skills are not questioned but the function and efficiency of his office leaves much to be desired.
Made a specific appointment for services. Services were denied on the grounds that my problem wasn't severe enough and I should just learn to live with it. Thanks, Doc. Very helpful.
Dr. Fitzgerald performed the HAL/RAR procedure for me. The results were miraculous. I had more discomfort on the drive to the hospital than I had on the ride home or in the 3/4 days it took to fully recover. My only regret is that I procrastinated and suffered for years thinking that the recovery period would be unbearable. NOT SO. Fast and easy recovery and off the drugs after only 4 days. I could not be any HAPPIER!!!!
I highly recommended anyone to Dr. Fitzgerald. He was very professional in going over the hold procedure with me and recovery time. He made me feel that I could trust him and he's staff in getting though the surgery. The day of the surgery anyone took care of me, so well and timely. Dr. Fitzgerald meet with me once again before surgery to ensure that anything will be okey. Once I came out of surgery anyone continue to take good care of me. Dr. Fitzgerald surpassed his overall recovery time in the hospital of 5-7days. I had the surgery on Thur. July 19 and was home on Sun. July 22, 2012. Everything came out, just like Dr. Fitzgerald had of sure me, so I thank you and your entire staff for what you all as done for me. May GOD continue to bless you all!
My hemorrhoidectomy was fully successful. Not even a minor problem. Furthermore, Dr. Fitzgerald spent a lot of time discussing with me an approach to post-op pain medication that would alieve my pain while minimizing the bad reactions I had previously had to opiates.
To say Dr Fitzgerald is outstanding is an understatement. He listens and addresses any concerns a patent may have. He spends time with patents and is very professional in dealings with patents. I would recommend him highly for a patent in need of his services. He had a big part of my mothers life today and I admire him. Not only is he a great doctor but has a great team with him and behind him.
Office staff very rigid and impersonal.Not people friendly. Treat patients as numbers rather than people. Lack of sensitivity and compassion for patients.

The Hindu takes a ride on the Rapid Metro and finds that there are more number of "out-of-town" commuters travelling on this route than the locals
Official figures state that 33,000 people ride everyday on the Rapid Metro, a three-coach train that when compared to its older, bigger cousin in Delhi resembles a toy train navigating the Gurgaon skyline. This privately built Metro line services a 5.1 km long route that has six stations, three of which are named after its sponsors – a British telecom company, a bank and an Indian phone manufacturer.
In this entirely elevated route that presently runs a loop service that begins and ends at Sikanderpur, the footfall is highest in the Phase-3 station which is closest to Cyber Green and building numbers 7, 9 and 14. According to the officials at Rapid Metro, the station named after the bank – IndusInd Bank Cyber City – which has been operational for only about a month now will in the next quarter see a jump of 30 per cent in its ridership figures.
Skyrocketing parking charges at the nearby Cyber Hub, a place described as a "heaven for foodies" by the online community for its range of restaurants, may be the reason for this estimated jump in ridership at this station. A Rapid Metro spokesperson concurs. "Recently, I saw a large group of women and children travelling on the Rapid Metro to Cyber Hub. Due to the exorbitant parking charges and lack of space on weekends many people choose to park their cars either in Sikanderpur or Huda City Centre stations and take the train," said the spokesperson.
Yet, how many of the 33,000 people who ride on the Rapid Metro are Gurgaon locals? This week, The Hindu took a ride on the Rapid Metro and interestingly found more number of "out of town" commuters travelling in from Delhi and Noida as compared to locals.
24-year-old Aparna Upadhyay lives in Gurgaon's Sector-14. Every day she spends Rs. 100 on an autorickshaw, which takes her directly from her home to her place of work at DLF Square, closest to the Vodafone Belvedere Towers, the third station on the loop service. Travelling anywhere on the line has a fixed rate of Rs. 12.
"If I take the Metro, I would end up spending Rs. 70 to go to the M.G. Road station on the Delhi Metro's Yellow Line, then change trains at Sikenderpur to travel to my office. I will end up saving maybe Rs. 10 but it is far more convenient to just take an auto directly," she said. Aparna was using the Rapid Metro for the first time this week, only because she was travelling to Delhi.
"I feel connectivity is a huge problem for people who live in Gurgaon. Maybe for people who come in from Delhi and Ghaziabad this Metro service is convenient. I'd rather use autos to get around," she added. Vaishali-resident Pankaj Saxena and Lajpat Nagar resident Shobit both of whom work in one of the many high-rise buildings here are cases in point.
The Rapid Metro was to carry nearly 1 lakh people daily but officials claim it is too early to judge the success of this private project. "We commissioned the line in November 2013 and we only made the IndusInd Bank Cyber City operational a month ago so it's unfair to say we haven't reached the estimated daily footfall levels. In fact, we expect this new station to soon be the one which sees the highest footfall," said the spokesperson.
An official who worked very closely with the Rapid Metro project, however, defers in his views on how the line is currently being managed.
"The line has been constructed very well but lacks in operational aspects. Gurgaon is a multi-cultural and multi-strata society and it is important for people to be convinced to use the Metro," he said.
Citing an example where the Rapid Metro organised a programme for company CEOs to walk and ride on the Metro, the official said: "If you only do programmes that target the top bosses of companies it will appear that the Metro train is reserved for the elite. Gurgaon's population is a mixed crowd of residents, commercial enterprises and officer goers and it is important to tailor-make approaches to convince each of these groups to switch from private vehicles to the train."
The Delhi Metro, he said, held multiple street plays for instance in slums and residential areas when its first line came up more than a decade ago to convince people to use the train. "The transport system is after all for public consumption and it is important that it reflects the sentiment of the people."

Just like you, but perfect
Buehrle adds yet another line to his brilliant résumé
CHICAGO -- How does he do it?
That's the company line, the inside joke, the way we deal with a normal dude like Mark Buehrle doing abnormal things like throwing a perfect game, winning a World Series, and marrying the pretty girl he proposed to in a deer stand.
How does Mark Buehrle do it?
Look at him. He's a monster-truck-driving, deer-hunting, self-proclaimed country boy who strains to hit 90 on the radar gun and was picked in the 38th round of the 1998 amateur baseball draft.
Did you even know there were that many rounds in a draft? Heck, Ron Schueler, the former White Sox general manager who selected the left-handed Buehrle, took his own daughter in the 43rd round in 1993.
No one could have predicted Mark Buehrle's career.
Gifted only with an impeccable sense of control and remarkable poise, Buehrle added a new first line to his obituary Thursday afternoon, tossing the 18th perfect game in baseball history in a 5-0 victory over Tampa Bay. That's his second no-hitter, the first one coming against Texas on April 18, 2007. He's the sixth pitcher to do both, joining guys like Sandy Koufax, Randy Johnson (who threw the last perfect game in 2004) and Cy Young.
"I don't know how to explain it," he said. "I never thought I'd throw a no-hitter."
How did this happen again? Buehrle, who likes to work quickly and directly, was pitching to Ramon Castro, who was traded from the Mets earlier this season and had never caught Buehrle before.
The play of the game came from substitute outfielder Dewayne Wise, who made a leaping catch at the wall in left-center to start the ninth. Little-used Josh Fields hit a grand slam in the second to give Buehrle breathing room. You can't make this stuff up.
This kind of game could happen only to Buehrle.
Has a Chicago pitcher ever had a better career, pitching only in the Windy City, than Buehrle? Here's your answer: no-hitter, perfect game, World Series ring, 133 wins and counting at the age of 30.
"He has no fear," White Sox captain Paul Konerko said. "That's why he puts himself in position to do what he does."
In a game still decided by power, Buehrle (11-3, 3.28 ERA) lives off 89 mph cutters, curveballs and changeups. He pitches in the strictest sense of the word, by hitting his spots and establishing a quick rhythm. He throws 200 innings every season, the mark of a true professional.
For the guys out there with love handles and three days of scruff, Buehrle is your kind of guy. His coaches get on him for his offseason conditioning, which consists of watching his kids play, deer hunting, and jogs to and from the fridge. He's a real person. He loves to catch those ceremonial first pitches, and he comes to work nearly every day in cargo shorts and a T-shirt.
How does he do it? Even President Obama probably wanted to know. He called Buehrle after the game. Well, Mr. President, it's real simple.
"Strikes, a lot of guts, and confidence in himself," said White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen, who has coached Buehrle since 2004.
Buehrle doesn't believe in superstitions and jinxes, so he talked to teammates, walked around the dugout. Whenever he would go into the clubhouse, he would joke with catcher A.J. Pierzynski, his lockermate and friend. Earlier this season, Pierzynski tried to explain Buehrle's continued success.
"I think one thing he's learned is that velocity doesn't really matter," Pierzynski told me when I profiled Buehrle after he got out to a 5-0 start for the first time in his career. "Sometimes he still goes out there and tries to see how hard he can throw and he gives up some hits here or there. We try to preach to him that velocity doesn't matter. Eighty-six is sometimes better than 96, especially with the way his ball moves, and the pitches in his repertoire."
Buehrle said he threw only a handful of cut fastballs, his signature pitch, relying mostly on curveballs and changeups en route to perfection.
Of course, his fastball is similar to other guys' changeups, so it's tough to gauge. He did say that Konerko, who served as the designated hitter, spotted one late fastball at 91. According to ESPN research, his fastball averaged 86 mph, just 7 mph faster than his changeup.
"When you're a pitcher, you want to go up there and see the gun," Buehrle said to me in May. "For me, it's 90. For other guys, that's like 100."
Buehrle's perfect game came out of nowhere, as they always seem to do. But this one is more than improbable, given the getaway day lineup that Guillen trotted out.
Castro had to learn Buehrle's stuff before the game. Jayson Nix started at second base, and Fields got a start at first and put the Sox ahead in the second inning with his grand slam. And while both are in the regular lineup, rookie Gordon Beckham is still developing at third, and Alexei Ramirez is talented but error-prone at short.
"Unbelievable," Castro said. "It's an honor for me."
Ramirez assisted the last out on a Jason Bartlett grounder. Fields snagged it and ran toward the mound, and the team dog-piled on Buehrle. Buehrle's wife, Jamie, was on the field with their daughter, Brooklyn, who was born during spring training, and wore a red dress for the occasion.
"In the coaches' room everyone was in tears," Guillen said. "One thing, it couldn't happen to a better guy."
Guillen recalled Buehrle's first no-hitter, when he wondered how a guy who pitches to contact and prides himself on working fast could get so lucky.
"He's one of the most underrated pitchers in the American League in the last 10 years," Guillen said.
Buehrle got to a three-ball count on only five batters and didn't need a highlight-reel play until the ninth. And what a play it was.
Wise, just inserted into the game for defensive purposes, robbed Gabe Kapler of a home run with a perfectly timed leaping catch at the wall. Wise juggled the ball as he tumbled to the ground but never took his eyes off it, snagging it with his bare hand before popping up.
"I told myself I was going to run through the wall to catch this ball," said Wise, who was on the opposing bench during Johnson's perfect game.
You can't overstate the magnitude of that catch, which was made by an outfielder almost universally reviled by the team's fan base. When the Sox demoted defensive specialist Brian Anderson and kept the .196-hitting Wise, some people called Guillen racist and questioned the team's sanity.
"We keep this guy for a reason," Guillen said after the game.
What was Guillen thinking when Kapler's ball was in the air?
"I can't say it here; you'd have to bleep me," Guillen said.
Wise, a 31-year-old journeyman, is going to get a big-time present for his catch.
"I bought the guys watches, everybody on the team, for the last one," Buehrle said. "That was an expensive no-hitter. This one is going to be a lot more expensive."
It wasn't that long ago that Buehrle was on his way out of town. Trade rumors swirled during 2007, and a couple of months after his no-hitter, most people thought he would be traded. Instead he signed a four-year, $56 million contract and continued to make a run at being known as the greatest Sox pitcher of all time, with a fighting chance at the Hall of Fame. This year he made news when he said he might retire after his contract ended in 2011, or go back to his hometown St. Louis Cardinals to finish his career.
He just might do it -- retire or leave town -- and either choice would be a shame. Nobody's perfect, but when it comes to pitchers, I don't know if anyone's better than Mark Buehrle.
White Sox left-hander Mark Buehrle on Thursday tossed his second career no-hitter -- a perfect game against the Tampa Bay Rays.

Theyskens' Theory Resort 2013
Olivier Theyskens's considerable talent for matching slouch with sleek was in full effect for Resort 2013. Among this season's standouts? A relaxed, cape-back jumpsuit with draped waist ties and a chiffon-sleeved minidress, the body of which was covered hem to hilt in sequins textured to shimmer like the skin of some exotic fish. While the details — a psychedelic oil-spill print here, a smattering of irridescent feathers there — lent a vaguely subversive spin, the palette of black, gray, and wine kept everything on the easy-wearing citified side. After all, "Resort is really about essentials that speak to modern life," the designer explained.

I've used a lot of Windows and Mac audio software over the past 13
years. But, I am not at all into looping and use very little midi or
virtual instruments. So for real audio recording with very good built
in EQ's and compressors my favorite is Sawstudio. It installs in
seconds and is a solid code. There is a X-mas sale on now and the Basic
version is $200. However, you would have to buy an additional bit of
software to use midi at all.
Reaper is also painless to install and is solid and $60.

Coleman Single Blade Folding Knives
Purchased a knife as a Christmas gift and I have to say I was please with I as well as the person I got it for. Definitely makes a great gift.
I really like this little knife and I take it by Kershaw's release of all the different color options, I'd say many others like it as well. It is a great little piece of kit, both well made and at a great price. I primarily use mine in my edc rotation. Though I must say, the "multi-tool" aspect of it, in this case the screwdriver edge is a little aggressive sticking out the top of my pocket. I think its natural habitat is tucked away in your jeans watch pocket. Frees up your main pocket for other gadgets and stuff. Its my go to for hanging out with friends in a semi formal atmosphere. Great for fancy cheese and dark beer. Tactical enough to lift any cap and slice through any Dijon whatnot yet cute enough not to make people think you think you're Rambo. Get one of these if you don't already have one. they come in almost every color configuration you would want and there's more colors on the way.
Fits good in my hand, super shave sharp. Just a solid performer.
Very nice a little small for my, but my wife snatched it up and enjoys it.
My grandchildren gave this to their Dad for Christmas. He loves it! He collects knives so he was thrilled to have one especially engraved for him by his kids. The quality is very good and the knife arrives very sharp. The time between ordering and delivery was excellent especially since it was during the Holidays. We would definitely buy from your company again.
Great product, delivered on time with a short turnaround. Highly recommend.
Bought as a gift. Beautiful, functional, not at all disappointed.
Gorgeous knife, exactly as described. Very heavy, solid workmanship. Nice leather sheath. An Xmas present for my 13 y.o. son; it was his favorite gift by far.

This is my white NOID.
The friend that gave me this doesn't remember the name. Does anyone have any guesses that I could ask her about. The fragrance is light and clean, not as sweet and spicy as some of my others. |

- Posted by printmaster DFW TX (My Page) on Thu, Oct 18, 12 at 7:39
I don't know the name, but you might join BGI and you can search their data base. I'm not big on whites, but this one is very pretty. Welcome fellow Texan! Lonnie |
I'm just looking for ideas of what it looks like it might be. Anybody???? |
- Posted by printmaster DFW TX (My Page) on Fri, Oct 19, 12 at 12:49
Tiara, might be a close guess. Lonnie |
Once given as a NOID it should remain a NOID for life. Speculating on what it 'could be' is asking for trouble because if someone gives a wrong name then folks using it in their breeding lines get all mixed up. It is a very pretty NOID Ruth. Enjoy it as that. |
I'm not looking to rename it. I'd like to have names to run by the lady that gave it to me. I think she would remember if she heard the name. For example I thought it might be Betty Marshall or a couple of others that I mentioned, but she said no. |
Ruth, perhaps I can clear this up for you.......this brug was given to my friend Patrick as a Weis Pousanne. Patrick shared his cuttings with me and when I posted my pics of it on another brug forum, was told why it was not a Weis Pousanne. After that, it just became a "noid" and has been that ever since. I love this brug, no matter if it has no name............the form, the nodding blooms and the green veins all make it special to me. |
Could it be 'Nina Lane'? |
It certainly could be as the pics I found were identical However, since we can never know for sure without expensive tests............it will no less beautiul as a noid. |

The question for this is simple. Do we all just agree to not go there and hangout?
I personally think it to be an absurd notion. Anyone else care to weigh in? Looking for another view point on this, if there is one at all.
The link to the article is listed below. (Don't worry, it's a quick read)
This idea of a Temple fuels the erroneous notion of believers that Atheism, Humanism, and Science are just other forms of belief, no different than their own.
A profoundly bad idea.
[I've read elsewhere AND here that de Botton is not actually doing this. That's immaterial. The point is it CAN be done, there are already websites declaring churches of atheism. You can't put the genie back in the bottle.]
It is an absurd notion. Being an absurdist, I applaud it. Not because I think it's a good idea, but because this reinforces my insistance that IF there is anything to believe in this universe, it's that absurdity is the only true reality.
But then, many things already show the absurdity of belief, like In God We Trust on american money for example, or people believing a god would tell them to destroy other ppl (his alleged creation) for any reason, or depictions of jesus on the cross all over the place while muhammad is actively not visibly depicted (but every other muslim couple names their child muhammad). That's just a few examples of the absurdity in religion.
Tomatoes are a fruit. Really. Need I go on?
So temples for worshiping atheism? Only stands to reason, in an absurd universe with an even more absurd humanity observing it. You already have rallies for reason. You are already scheduling monthly meetings and annual pilgrimages. Why not erect a physical structure dedicated to these things? And don't forget the offering plates. You'll need to pay for the utilities and upkeep of the grounds.
Maybe the Believers were right. Atheism has always been a religion. At any rate, I'm out. I gotta be an anti-theist until someone figures out how to turn that into a religion too and then I'll move on to something else. You guys just became the enemy. So long as one person somewhere still insists on believing something, religion will remain a virus in the global consciousness of mankind. I hope you enjoy yourselves in your fellowship. Just please remember it's okay to dance, no matter what the baptists say.
Here is another article that portrays it as more a museum thing to rally around rather than a temple. Atheism does need to spawn a central ideology though. Education ought to be lifelong as well. School doesn't teach enough and there ought to be optional academies (drawing from the greek concept) in the places of churches that can be attended at weekly intervals as most people have busy schedules. They wouldn't need to do anything other than learn and socialize there.
Atheists need to have an identity because the lack of belief places them in a different category with the rest of society and in a sense isolated. Rallying around a recognizable ideology would foster integration with society on a more efficient level.

ANN ARBOR, Mich.---Among the worrisome environmental effects of global warming is the thawing of Arctic permafrost---soil that normally remains at or below the freezing point for at least a two-year period and often much longer. Monitoring changes in permafrost is difficult with current methods, but a study by University of Michigan researchers offers a new approach to assessing the extent of the problem.
The new study approach, which relies on chemical tracers in stream water, is described in the journal Chemical Geology.
Overlying permafrost is a thin "active layer" that thaws every summer, and increases in the thickness of this layer over the years indicate thawing of permafrost. Both physical measurements and modeling suggest that active layer thickness has increased in some areas over the 20th century and that if present warming trends continue, increases of up to 40 percent could occur by the end of the 21st century.
Although the full effects of thawing are yet to be determined, coastal erosion and damage to the roads, buildings and pipelines that have been built on permafrost are likely outcomes. In addition, thawing permafrost may release the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere, triggering further warming and more permafrost thawing.
Currently, the main method for determining thaw depth is with a graduated steel probe. "You stick it in the ground and see when it hits frozen material," said geochemist Joel Blum, who with ecologist George Kling and former graduate student Katy Keller undertook the new study.
"We were studying the chemistry of soils in the area around Toolik Field Station in northern Alaska, and we found that once we got below the thickness that typically would thaw during summer, the soil chemistry changed dramatically," said Blum, who is the John D. MacArthur Professor of Geological Sciences. "Material that has not thawed since it was deposited by glaciers 10

Location, Location, Location, that's what I've always heard about realestate and that is one of the best things about this unit. Located on the beach, just above the private pool, this complex is the last building on the coast north of John's Pass. We purchased this unit because of the 3 large windows down the southern side of the building giving us views of all the activities on the pass. You can watch the people, boats, and traffic moving in and out of the pass from the bedroom, the dining room, living room, or the balcany.
This unit is totally brand new. We found the unit with the location and stripped it bare before rebuilding it from the new cork under tile floor all the way to the new sprinker heads. If you want the new car smell when you walk in the door, you wont get it at most of these older Gulf Coast condos with a great location. You wont be dissappointed when you walk in the door of this up scale unit.
We spared no cost as we purchased this unit for our private family use only and have only just recently decided to offer it uut as a rental unit. We plan to be picky and don't plan to list it in the general pool of condos as most are.
New flooring, furniture, appliances, 42' wall hung plasma TV's, washer-dryer in the unit, sterio, memory foam mattresses, and new hurricane proof windows and doors that keep it cool and quite inside with great views of the outside.

I'm from Somerset, Ky and Linda is from Parkersbug, WV. We moved to Tampa in 1985 from Columbus, OH and have two children age 17 and 11. I run a international logistics company and Linda manages several commercial properties we own. Our children have gotten so busy with school and activities that we have not been able to use the condo as much as we were when we first purchased it. So we are now offering it out for the first time as a rental unit to people we don't know yet, but hope to find 4 or 5 families to share this treasure with on a annual basis. We also love to travel and would be interested in trading a great place annually for this great place.
Linda Mills purchased this condo in 2007
Maderia Beach is slightly less popular than Clearwater Beach and St Pete Beach, but it is smack dab in the middle of the two. John's Pass Village was redone last year and is better than ever. The new Bubba Gumps and Hooters add to the great places to eat and support the atmosphere of the old sleepy fishing village. There are lots of weekly festivals and events hosted at the pass each month.
Things we love to do while at our beach condo:
1. Sit on the balcony in the morning and watch all the boats leaving the pass headed out for the day of fishing or fun in the sun.
2. Grab the Sun Coast Trolly in the morning and tour the gulf coast all day exploring the shops, resturants, beaches, and bars from Clearwater to st Pete.
3. Rent a small boat for a few hours and head up the intercoastal waterway to the Salt Rock Grill for a drink and appetizer before the sun goes down.
4. Fix some hot tea or a nice glass of wine and sit out on the balcony and watch one of the best sunsets you'll ever see.
5. My wife loves to go across to John's Pass and have the conch fritters at at The Hut or a slice of Pizza from Del Rosa's. Of course then she spends the rest of the day shopping.
6. We all love the Dolphin Boat - you really do see dolphins and it's a nice leisure ride.
7. Be brave and go parasailing or rent a couple jet-skis. Your on vacation - have fun and make it memorable.
The best thing about this unit is that you can save money by not renting a car! Located directly across the street from John's Pass Village. You simply walk out the complex door, along the water and up to the boardwalk for shopping, dining, water sports, and anything you may need. You never need to get in your car. If you do want to ride then try the Suncoast Trolly system that drops off and picks up right out your front door. You can tour the Pinellas Beach Coast, Shop, explore, get your groceries, go to concerts, sporting events, sight seeing and more. But you can also just relax and enjoy the beautiful Gulf beach. Our condo is equipped with everything you need to enjoy the beach and a relaxing nights sleep. We are a premium corner unit with full open views of the Gulf beach and the inter-costal waterway. You won't be disappointed!!

Anyway, the Paraoh game room sets are fully customizable, and can be modified depending on your preference of wood and stone. Plus, how badass is it of you to have a pool table that looks like a sarcophagus?

Library Journal
A woman of many talents, poet, oral historian, essayist, photographer, and activist Randall has written over 100 books, so it is no surprise that her latest essay collection reads more like a memoir. This is especially evident in her prose, including the opening piece, "Memory of Samothrace," which offers an intimate explanation of the spark that lit Randall's incredible journey: "I remember these outings with all the thrill of a young child discovering the wonders of other cultures, of art." Her poetry paints beautiful photographs of civilizations that have suffered at the hands of European cultures and the remnants of what could have been. In the moving "The Language in My Blood," Randall shows the cycle of discrimination that she works to eliminate: "But that little blond-haired boy speaks Spanish like a native...she turned to her companion. They laughed." The inclusion of her photographs of stone ruins in South America adds a sense of humanity to Randall's honest words. Recommended for all libraries.

I really like this scent. I don't think it smells generic or too girly at all. It is sweet, but also very clean. It's potent enough that it catches your attention, but the nice thing is that it briefly dissolves. After a few minutes you don't notice it - making you want to smell more. The bottle is in line with VS brand. It is transparent and at the back you can see stripes (much like the bag). I'm 23 and find this perfect for my age - more sophisticated than a college girl, but not as mature as my mother

Love it! It's a beautiful floral. I have the body mist, lotion, and perfume. I do agree that it doesn't last as long as I would like. However I don't mind that it's not super strong hours later. Perfect for spring/summer.
I love this fragrance so much! it is listed as a fruity floral now although in the past it was listed as fresh. To me it is considered fresh but fruity/floral. Every time i wear it i get compliments on it :)

I love Victoria Secret perfumes and while this is not one of my favorites, I do like this scent. It is a more feminine, light scent compared to some of the others in the sense it is more floral.
I agree with the other reviewers though it doesn't linger as long as I would like.
This perfume is summer liquified into a bottle. Every time I spray it, I get a vision of a sandy beach in my head. It just screams summer! Granted their Bombshell Summer (limited edition) perfume smells amazing as well, I just love this one. I'm a big fan of peony and this perfume has Shangri-la yellow peony. I get many compliments when I wear this. So now you can have summer inside even when it's snowing outside. =)
i really love this fragrance i also purchased all collection. apparently my fave fragrance from VS. i cant really describe the smell, quite fresh and adds balancing between masculinity and feminity, but it actually smells familiar to me. for daily use i prefer using the body mist, though it doesnt last long. i always have one in my purse though. sadly i dont have VS in my local area or country! but heard that they're opening one soon (yay!). i got this at VS singapore. i go there often, so i can get them again and again.defnitely will repurchase! hope they dont discontinue this one.
My favorite VS perfume comes in the prettiest/ simplest bottle! I love this fresh but sweet scent. I can still faintly smell it on myself at the end of the day.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this perfume! It smells amazing - fresh, a little floral but not overpowering, with some fruity notes and just a little musk. In smelling some of the other VS perfumes I found a lot of them to be too mature smelling, with really strong woodsy notes that just came across like too much licorice or pine to convey the feminine vibe I wanted. Bombshell is lighter than the others I sampled, but doesn't have that sweet, cloying smell of too much candy or flowers that less musky perfumes can edge close to. I find that the lasting power is good, although I would recommend a touchup of a spray or two once or twice throughout the day to keep the fragrance going. The bottle is adorable, too. Ultimately though, this is a great perfume - it's light and fresh but with enough musk to keep it grounded and grown-up.

Tickets for the first live shows in 35 years by singer/songwriter Kate Bush, sold out in less than 15 minutes. Tickets for the 22 nights at London's Hammersmith Apollo went on sale at 9:30am this morning (Friday 28th March).
The BBC website reports her as saying: "I am completely overwhelmed by the response." She went on to say: "Thank you so much to everyone."
Many fans were disappointed. One, Janice from Ealing in West London told a London radio station that she had been waiting for 20 minutes, "And then I clicked the 'buy' button at exactly 9:30. The waiting thing went round for a couple of minutes then I was asked to enter a captcha code. Then I was told there were no tickets available. I tried this for fifteen minutes until I finally gave up. Then I saw tickets on sale for hundreds of pounds. It's disgusting."

I'm a longtime lurker who is fascinated with the style of all you decorating divas!
The front of my home needs some updating and I finally have found the courage to post photos. Here's my background:
So what to do? I hate the stark contrast of the white trim and the brown siding. Would adding shutters and/or window boxes offset the color contrast? We can't afford to replace all the white soffits and fascia but could possibly paint the window trim. I did a little photoshopping... what do you think? Any other ideas would truly be appreciated. This is the original house. (Please ignore the weeds; it was either weed the garden to take photos. The weeds won.)
In this photo I added shutters and door painted with BM Deep Royal. Also white window boxes.
In this photo I imagined the white window trim was also "painted" with stain. (Love that cedar look!)
In this photo I painted the window trim dark brown. Again used the BM Royal Blue door but with loden window boxes. No shutters.
This is a similar photo but using that yummy BM Cottage Red for the door. (I love the color but does it work with my house?)

I am fan of a red door so I like the last one. But I liked the pics with the shutters so maybe add them, the darker ones to the the last pictures? I love the flowers, but in reality, would they really be in bloom year round? Could you count on them to add color? Unless they were fake. : ) Which is possible, I guess. |
- Posted by jan_in_wisconsin (My Page) on Mon, Jul 26, 10 at 15:02
I also like the idea of a bright red, welcoming front door. Some additional landscaping around the front entrance path and toward the street could add a LOT. You said you like natural settings, so why not create more of that? How about a beautiful sugar maple that turns a striking bright orange in the fall? Also choose some flowering perennials, balancing their bloom times so something is always in color? Add the texture of natural mulch. Think about adding evergreens for visual interest in the winter months, or river birch trees for their beautiful bark. If you enjoy gardening, you can do a lot of the work yourself. By the way, we have BM Cottage Red on our front door, and it's a great color. Jan |
The first photo update with the dark shutters is very charming. The white flower boxes helps offset the white trim. It looks good with the matching door, but have you tried a shade lighter for the door? Agree with the other posters about landscaping. |
I would paint the window framing brown but skip the shutters and window boxes. I like a contrasting door. Your house is a shade of brown that I would have a difficult time finding the right contrast color for. It is showing sort of pink-brown on my screen. One thought was yellow, but not if the brown really has pink undertones. |
Excellent virtuals! :) I do like the red door!! -- BUT please could you try a virtual with the red door AND white surrounding trim. With the white windows/shutters and windowboxes. I do vote for the shutters and windowboxes. Just not sure if I like them in the darker color or in white. Just for discussion -- I wonder if black shutters and door would work? Here at Rosemary Cottage -- the front door is high-gloss black! Consider switching to a MUCH bigger lantern above the door. And perhaps a lantern with the light/bulb hanging down over a door?! And consider adding a full-length (the width of the door and frame and side window) horizontal piece of wood trim above the door -- to add some visual height -- to the whole door area. Just some thoughts! I do agree with the idea of adding more planting around the whole front facade -- and maybe a tree (and surrounding garden) added down front of the left-hand side of the house. The tree's height would add visual balance to the scene -- by balancing the height of the right-hand gable. Jan at Rosemary Cottage |

I second the larger lantern or light fixture over the front entry. If you do use shutters, skip them over the picture window, they are obviously not "real" then since they would never cover it. And if you could, hang them the correct way: the louvers should face UP when the are at each side of the window, so that they would be DOWN when closed over the window. Almost everyone who hangs non-operational shutters does it upside down and the plastic/composite ones are Made upside down. |

The last two mockups you posted make your house look so much better. It's the combination of the darker trim color and the more modern trim instead of shutters. I'm not liking the red door with your brown house. It neither complements nor contrasts nicely with the other colors. Just my .05. If it were my house I would either A. keep a monochromatic look--medium brown house, darker brown trim and dark, dark brownish-black, high-gloss door(something like Benjamin Moore's deep caviar); or B. do something similar to the picture I've linked to below. I don't know what you would call the color of this door but I would classify it somewhere in the magenta-wine family. Or |

Thank you so much for the suggestions! I'll go through them individually in the morning. But I just wanted to point out that the original photos were taken on a very dreary day from the street, which is downhill from the house. So you can't see the front steps and walkway. These photos were taken today; it's a bright day and brings out the true color of the siding. And, with the weeds removed, you can see some landscaping that isn't visible from the street. |

If you could paint the gambrel area a different color, that would make it pop. |
I like the dark shutters. |

So many wonderful ideas it's taking me time to process them all! And yes. Ugh. I agree about the landscaping. It's atrocious. (Would you believe it looks better now than it did a few weeks ago? I dug out a bunch of overgrown bushes hence the bare spots.) And yes, I do love gardening but I'm not very good at designing flower gardens. (My experience is only with vegetables and there's no color design needed.) I'm hoping to update the landscaping this fall when the shrubs and perennials go on sale. (jan_in_wisconsin - Thanks for the suggestions! I'll keep them in mind when I plan the landscape design.) I love the larger lantern idea. Can't wait to pick one out! I'm also a fan of red doors. And jan_in_wisconsin - I love your Cottage Red door and the way it contrasts with your siding! But I think bluemoon28 is right; the red doesn't complement the other colors. I love the monochromatic look of bluemoon28's photo of the Little Brown House. (Love the pretty landscaping, too!) I thought that darker trim without shutters was more of a modern look until I saw this photo. But I can't replicate the look entirely because I can't paint all of my trim, only the exterior window trim (sorry cardwellave, no gambrel fascia or soffit painting). So it would not be truly monochromatic. teacats' idea of black shutters/door is something I never would have considered but I think I like it! A beautiful wreath would really stand out on the door! I also added the extra piece of wood above the door. And I liked palimpsest's idea of eliminating the shutters on the big picture window. Made me think of eliminating the window boxes under the smaller windows; does this help with the balance? Do the lower windows need shutters? |
That last picture looks great! |
- Posted by maureeninmd (My Page) on Tue, Jul 27, 10 at 13:43
You are getting there! I like the black too. Just changing the color of the door will make a huge difference. Make sure you get properly-sized shutters, even if they are not operational, they'd still look "right". I don't think shutters on the bottom windows add anything though? Also I am not sure how you'd water the plants in that windowbox, but I like how it fills the void under the window. |
- Posted by tuesday_2008 (My Page) on Tue, Jul 27, 10 at 13:46
Ditto - the last picture with black looks fantastic with that color! If you are going to add an architetural molding on top of the door, make it a little "beefier" - perhaps something that mimics the gambriel roof of the right side. I have a pair of mocha colored capris and a black top looks better with them than any other color. HaHa. |
- Posted by decoratingditz (My Page) on Tue, Jul 27, 10 at 16:16
Black is not one of my favorite colors but it certainly seems to go with my hard-to-match siding! But I think I might like to add some color by changing the black door. And I "beefed up" the molding on the door. Not gambrel but triangular. Also removed the lower shutters. These are the BM colors I tried. What do you think? Still like black the best? I am kind of liking the Yorktowne Green. BM Rustic Brick: BM Raspberry Truffle: BM Earthly Russet: BM Brick Red: BM Polo Blue: BM Pacific Sea Teal: BM Yorktowne Green: plain old black: |
- Posted by decoratingditz (My Page) on Tue, Jul 27, 10 at 16:21
almost forget maureeninmd - the replacement picture window is actually 3 separate double-hung windows. Each opens at the bottom (even the 48" wide middle window) so watering the windowboxes shouldn't be a huge problem. But I suppose I will need to remove the screen. I think I'll look for self-watering windowboxes so I don't need to water as often. |
Bingo! LOL! Of course I do vote for the black door (what a difference that piece of horizontal trim makes!!!) and shutters!! and the window boxes add a dash of "cottage" to the facade. And a HUGE difference with the larger lantern too! Again -- excellent virtuals!!! :) Here's my front door at Rosemary Cottage: |
- Posted by bluemoon28 (My Page) on Tue, Jul 27, 10 at 19:33
Of all the mockups you just did,I like the all-black scenario the best. It gives a definition to the house that wasn't there before. If you're determined to have color on your door, the polo blue looks surprisingly good, and I'm generally not a fan of blue. |
I don't like the triangle over the door, especially since the door isn't "balanced" with sidelight on both sides. |
- Posted by decoratingditz (My Page) on Wed, Jul 28, 10 at 17:17
Well I'm afraid it's not BINGO quite yet. DH doesn't like the triangle over the door either. In fact he hates the white trim around the door. He likes the monochromatic look and wants to eliminate as much white as possible. I hope to convince him to at least keep the existing white but painting the door trim white is definitely a no-no. And agreeing with terriks, the triangle has to go. So I've added a simple straight crown over the door and mixed and matched several colors amongst door, trim, shutters and window boxes. This is my favorite; somewhat monochromatic: white, brown, black. The rest, for DH's viewing pleasure, are at this link: http://www.photobucket.com/albums/af163/decoratingditz/house/finals/ teacats - Your high-gloss black door is so nice!

I think a black door would look best - that siding color just clashes with too much. It looks so much better now, with the shutters and other improvements! |
I really liked the black door! I am sort of wondering if painting the trim on the gambrel black would work or maybe just the soffit. The soffit might also look nice painted to match the siding. Somehow, the white there seems off to me. I do think it is looking better though. Are you still going to add flower boxes? I love the way they look in your mock-ups! |
For pure visual enjoyment, you husband is right. Make all the white black and the same on the door and it will look stunning. |
- Posted by decoratingditz (My Page) on Sun, Sep 23, 12 at 19:23
Thanks for the replies! I should have mentioned that DH nixed the all-black because the entry door is fiberglass and gets very hot in the afternoon sun. He's afraid it will warp. That's why I went with the lighter Van Deusen Blue instead of the Polo. I also like the all-black. Maybe I'll overrule since I'm doing the painting. haha I also decided the window boxes were too high-maintenance but went with the colorful cottage-garden beneath the windows. Hoped that would give lots of color. |
Get rid of all the white. Your house will look so much richer! I'm surprised you haven't photo shopped a scenario with all the trim painted dark! Visuals are sooo helpful. |
You've done a lot of work already on your house over the past few years, and I know how expensive and time consuming that is. It's also the reason I feel impelled to say that, in my opinion, you are wasting all this effort because the color of the body of the house is unsuitable. It makes the house look like a very large, vertical deck, and none of the trim colors or embellishments (shutters, window boxes, additional architectural elements) can change the current look as long as it remains that color. You already have some interesting features and the lot looks very nice, but it's not working together as a whole. Blue Moon's link to a darker house with dark trim and a dark red door provides a good color model for your house if you want to go with brown tones. I would wait on further improvements until you're ready to paint the entire house. |
I think the new shutters and door color look very nice! I would just get paint the black trim around the door white. It makes the blue door really pop, and it matches the white trim around the windows. Here's a quick paint job: |

That's a shame you had to replace the original cedar shakes because they were perfect for your house. I have to agree with Kswl that your siding color doesn't play well with other colors. I just keep picturing your house with weathered cedar shingles or in a color similar to them with white trim or else something like Blue Moon's picture with a dark trim. I just don't see these little changes making much of a difference when the overall problem is the color of the siding. I'd love to see your house photoshopped in those other colors. I bet it would look really nice. |

how about going and putting a stone walk way to the house? Make a larger round flower bed with a statue or flagpole in the middle Bring out a large deck for seating, out into the yard. Plant large trees for height and shade. make a seating area by shade trees Add flowerbeds along the stone walkway,not straight but curved. Put in flower beds in front of both sides of the front of your house, curved. shutters on bottom windows, iron window boxes with flowers hanging down on the other windows. add different accents in the yard, arches. |
My vote is to get rid of all the white and go all black. It will look stunning. Can you get a black screen door to protect the storm door from warping? |
