Iris+Chocolate= powdery, therefore lipstick I guess.
I smell no lipstick in Dior Homme, so I don't really know.
If fragrance has a gender, so does all art.
I absolutely detest PdN New York, and all I get is sharp orange and awful scratchy woods. It smells overly synthetic and utterly revolting to me. I know it gets a lot of respect from LT and basenotes but I hate it. I smell nothing particularly powdery about it actually, nor anything cosmetically-inclined.
At what stage in Dior Homme's development do you smell lipstick? I smell fishy lipstick in Rive Gauche (women's) up close (but from afar its all succulent rose). The lipstick smell I know smells slightly fishy and powdery.

No lipstick smell to my nose, either.

Lipstick city for me! I'm not sure why, either. I prefer Iris Silver Mist, which is to say I like carrots more than lipstick.
Oh, Drole de Rose also smells just like lipstick to me.

From Dior Homme, I get not as much of lipstick note, yet an immense powderiness during the drydown- may this also be explained because of the iris?
Iris is probably the culprit. Orris root is used as a stabilizer in cosmetics and accounts for both their violet and powdery smell. Lipstick, I think, and especially face powder. Sniff and see - lipstick, face powder, and Dior Homme are kindred spirits. Scent-wise.
I suppose the "lip-stickiness" of a scent depends on how much iris is used and what with, no?

To me, Dior Homme smells of vintage pressed powder. Lipstick has a waxy, plastic-y smell which I don't find in DH.

From the Dior Homme Cologne, perhaps. But not from DH. And I get more 'lipstick' from TDC's Bois d'Iris and even more from Serge Lutens' Rousse.
Iris + Amber = Lipstick? I dunno. I asked a friend if he thought it smelled like a make up bag and he said, "Yea, it kinda does man." Oddly enough, I feel comfortable wearing this than PdN New York. New York just smells like some icky lotion my mom puts on. My mom annoys the hell out of me, so it really traumatized me from wearing New York ever again. LOL.
Someone else thinks it does too? I thought I was alone on this.
It really does smell like lipstick to me. It's weird.. I might try it again and try to look past that.
Zero. And I am very predisposed to picking up on lipstick-type accords as I hate them with a passion.
You're certainly entitled to your opinion, but I've worn PdN NY for years and have never even remotely detected any "sharp orange and awful scratchy woods".

I love both DH and NY. Two of the finest Men's colognes available. I can understand the lipstick associations with an iris based scent (DH) even though it doesn't smell like it to me. I don't know where you are picking up the lipstick association with NY.
To me, the opening notes of Dior Homme smells like "mom's purse." Not just lipstick, but the combination of cosmetics, powders, lipstick together. It lasts about 20 minutes or so and settles into a nice iris scent.
Last edited by StylinLA; 8th March 2010 at 03:00 PM.
Yep, iris. It shows up in a lot of cosmetics, which explains the association with the "makeup bag" smell. (not specifically lipstick to my nose)
I love Dior Homme though.
I'm just not getting that lipstick from Dior Homme at all...
The iris note in Dior Homme is similar to what I recall lipstick smelling like when I was growing up. Not everyone's mothers and grandmothers wore Avon, so YMMV.
I totally get it in the original DH, and this is the only reason why it's not sitting on my shelf. However, the intense version seems much more to my taste.
It does not smell like lipstick to me - at least not the kind I use.

Spray...you are not alone. I get an incredible make-up-bag-fulla-old-lipstick smell from DH from beginning to end...but I LOVE the fragrance. I always assumed it was the iris, but then again it is not present in Dreamer at all....
Its funny, I receive a compliment almost every time that I wear it, but when probed about the lipstick accord, everyone says, "well now that you mention it...."
Dior Homme to me is way too feminine, I would rather smell it on my wife!

I'm thinking that the whole makeup vibe comes from iris and cocoa.
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
The lipstick.... duh! You didn't know? They soak bits of Walmart brand lipstick in it before shipping out the bottles. Jeez, I didn't realize it was still such a secret.

Some guys here have mentioned makeup...
I think I get a combo of makeup and lipstick. The iris + cocoa theory is worth investigating.
It's not really "iris" that is associated with makeup, it's orris root. Not all iris fragrances are based on orris root. When an actual orris note is used in perfumery, synthetics are usually used, since pure orris absolute, orris butter, or orris concrete, are some of the most expensive perfume materials in existence. But to add to confusion, often the name "iris" will be used in a pyramid when "orris" is the actual note.
An iris note, on the other hand, is often based on the scent of the iris flower, and is built up using aroma chemicals in order to reproduce the scent of irises without ever really smelling much like orris root. Orris root doesn't really smell much like iris IMO. Actually, it smells more like violets if anything. Orris root has has a very distinct smell on its own. The rhizome itself is not prohibitively expensive, and in it's powdered form it has been used extensively in cosmetics, and as a fixative in potpourri mixtures for many years. The yield of essential oil is very low however and it is difficult to produce, thus making natural orris perfume materials expensive.
I really believe it is the orris root note in DH that is giving people the association with "lipstick." Just because a fragrance contains an orris note however, doesn't meant that fragrance will smell like makeup, but DH is built around an orris note, rather than just containing this note.
Also, it is important to remember that natural orris root is one of the most common and pervasive allergens in both perfumery and cosmetics and thus is being used less and less due to this fact. (Whenever I had to work with the stuff, I had to wear a mask and gloves and still would be sick for days afterwards). The synthetic scent of orris root will often be added to cosmetics to smell like "makeup" even though there is no longer any actual orris root being used in the manufacturing of the product itself.

Last edited by Spray; 9th March 2010 at 06:46 AM.
I am curious - do any synthetic orris components bother you, or only natural orris root? Do you mean that simply working with the absolute would cause you problems, or only in its powdered form?
I guess depending on those answers of yours i'm really interested in a sort of tangential question: have you ever tried Amouage Reflection Man? I smell a very strong high quality orris root note there. It could very well be entirely synthetic but I'd like to think it is at least partially natural. It smells natural, to me. Anyhow, if you've tried it, what did you think? Did you have any reaction?
Back on topic - I don't think it is the orris alone that evokes lipstick but orris + amber notes surely could. Orris + tolu balsam or benzoin + some waxy sandalwood or something could easily turn lipstick-ish.

Only the natural bothers me in all its forms; the whole rhizome being the least problematic and the powder and concrete being the worst offenders. The Givaudan Givco base "Orris Givco" is one of the best synthetic orris roots available (IMO and newer ones may be out that are as good or better that I am not aware of). It never caused any allergic reactions in me that I can recall. I should definitely give Reflection a try. I haven't tried it yet. DH never bothered me, but the Hugh Parsons orris centered scent did give me a reaction. Which made me wonder if it indeed had some trace amounts of authentic orris; but given its price I highly doubt it.

The first time I tried Dior Homme, I thought it smelled like Dr. Pepper. Subsequent tries have changed that opinion.

I thought iris flowers had no smell. The ones I've grown had no smell at all.
There are thousands of varieties of iris. To my knowledge the only one that has the "Iris Fragrance" is Iris Pallida (also where orris root comes from). It is actually cultivated for its fragrance that is somewhat reminiscent of orange flowers/vanilla. I know that there has been much attempt at getting an absolute from it, with zero success. The names "Iris" and "orris" have been used interchangeably for a long time as a fragrance note, but the flower and the root smell very different, and any iris flower scent must be accomplished synthetically.
Last edited by mrclmind; 9th March 2010 at 08:40 PM.
Ah. I'm familiar with just a handful of varieties, but don't remember any of them smelling like anything.
It is like it smells like the bottom of a much older females make up bag -
I found that Royal Copenhagen has that same smell in the down dry - - - - - - - - - -???
The scent that you are experiencing is orris. This smell has been described as fruity-floral, oily, voilet-like, ethereal.
If somebody were to ask me what it 'actually' smells like, I would tell them to go stuff their heads into their girlfriends makeup bag..quite literally. To me, it always reminds me of women's foundation or lipstick. Dior homme is quite iris for a men's fragrance, then again, I do believe there's no such thing as a man's fragrance. Hiris by hermes is almost all iris. Maybe you can test it and see if that smells like lippy too!
Interesting about the association with Dr. Pepper. I have always thought that Gucci Pour Hoome smelled alot like A&W root beer due to the orris. Perhaps with the right mix of other ingredients, we have discovered a new facet of perfume, a cola note!

I definitely get the lipstick. And I just can't do it. I've sampled it a few times, hoping to like it. I just don't. That's ok... plenty of ones (too many) that I do.
i just tried this out for the first time and damn it it does smell like lipstick to me...interestingly enough though im enjoying it? i dont know what it is but there is some other note in there that blending in with the lipstick which makes it enjoyable.
Yes, I get loads of lipstick smell from DH. DH Intense - even more. It's my favorite part. Wish it lasted longer.
Not a very masculine scent, but I don't care. Love it too much to care.
I passed around a bottle of DH at a party not too long ago - a party attended by fellow fragrance fanatics, men and women - and everyone said "lipstick" or "makeup" upon initial sniff.

180 on this one.
I was at Sephora last night doing some mother's day shopping and figured I might as well pickup a sample and give it one more try. To my surprise, I hardly smell the "lipstick" scent when applied to my skin. It's still definitely there front and center when I apply it to a card. I actually find it quite pleasant on me right now, though it's a little weak.
I can't wear Dior Homme, all I get from it is lipstick and old lady makeup bag smell.
I kinda like that fatty, greasy smell of lipstick. I smell it in Serge Noir when first applied.
Iris germanica (which is the common "bearded Iris" of many home flower gardens) actually has a nice scent to the flower, maybe not too far off the pallida. You need to get close to the flower to smell it, and it's a little more earthy-herbaceous perhaps, but definitely recognizable as Iris. And it makes me sneezy...sigh.

Don't know where to start. Some of you know me some of you don't. I am a 50 (soon to be 51 year old) very over weight female who used to run 40 miles a week and could run a 4.30 marathon 1.50 half marathon and this was only about 4 years ago. Now I am 6 stone overweight, got a sore knee and get out of breath walking up the stairs. I did the GNR last year in a PW of 3.30 and the Loch Ness in a PW of 1hr16. Most of these were walked.
I would really love to get back to running and have even entered a couple of races later this year but all off a sudden I have developed a complex that I am too fat to run. Too fat to get out that door. Too fat to exercise. And believe it or not too fat to diet.
This will seem mad to you all. I have lost all confidence. I think I am too old, too fat, too slow to do anything and the more I think this way the less I do.
The village I live in is too small to run/walk any distance in winter as no lights. Am out at work long hours.
Not sure where to go from here. Can't help feeling its too late to start again. Will never regain slim figure (doctor told me I will never see 10st again) will never see a 4.30 marathon again, never climb a munro again (last one I did about killed me).
Is there anyone out there that has recovered from where I am now? If so is there hope out there. Maybe I am just at the wrong time of life!!!!!
I ran for 16 years and loved every minute so where has it gone wrong?

speedy , Not sure if I have any weight behind my coments ( forgive the pun ) but my girlfriend started running a few years ago to loose weight and now it has got to the stage where she kicks my ass at runs !! she has lost 6/7 stone ( iknow I ought to know exactly ) and although I am perhaps one of lifes chauvenistic pigs she is top shelf in my admiration steaks. another thing springs to mind and that is a good friend and training partner once said to me as I was going through a really bad patch and was thinking of throwing in the towel in " remember how you felt when you were running well " ! he has long since given up running and now I have bettered his great ( we thought at the time ) half marathon time by ten mins. All I can suggest is that you FIND time to run / cross train through the winter and above all realise one thing ....it is never . never to late to feel good about yourself !!!!!
Look after yourself and just think about what THEY will say about the new you come the summer .

Hello SpeedyG
I am where you are now, but probably around two stone overweight now, different reasons though
I am 49, have been ill with chronic bowel disease for the last six months, unable at first to run due to illness, then lack of desire to return to fitness crept in, now I need the motivation
I've started walking this last week, and have no intention of sitting in an armchair waiting for the next 7 lbs to creep onto my hips
So come out here, and join me in my quest to return to fitness, little by little

I am a very overweight 52 year old who is learning to run for the first time - and wish I had done it sooner.
I've been plodding for about 18 months now and am doing FLM in April.
I'll never be fast, but the plodding is helping with the weight loss and is giving me more confidence in myself in many ways.
With the support of many people on here I am sure you can do it too!
You may never be as fast as you were - but you are in a new age group, so you can have a new set of PBs to enjoy!
I am sure once you get out there and buy yourself a new pair of shoes you will rememebr why you loved it. You don't need to be slim and sylph-like to get the feel-good hit of running.
comnena djoin us!
ps I was 5½ stone overweight when I started - now 3 and falling.
08/01/2005 at 23:30
Speedy G - you are SO NOT too old/fat/unfit or anything else for that matter.
Maybe by focusing on your past achievements you're giving yourself just too big a task to take on at once. In your shoes (lol!) I'd concentrate on small targets - a 10 minute run 3 times a week or whatever you feel is achievable. Build it up slowly from there - add more minutes on when you feel able. Follow one of the beginner walk/run schedules if that feels better.
I think if you really want to run, you'll find a way around the practical problems - join a club/gym, find someone to run with you, run in the morning or at lunchtime, buy a treadie ......
As for the doctor telling you you'll never see 10 stone again - well, I'd fire him. He should be encouraging you not sending you away with that kind of message. If you start running again, you need to work on your nutrition for running - I wouldn't call it a diet though - they're temporary and don't usually have a lasting effect. There's loads of good stuff on this site and people who can help too.
FWIW I turned 50 2 days ago. I only started running 3 years ago when I was 4 stones overweight. I'm not overweight anymore - I'm down to 55kg, weight is stable but body fat % is still coming down.
I'd also say that the people who get my complete respect in the gym or on the roads are the ones I see who are not in the most perfect shape but who are getting off their backsides and doing something about it. Go for it - you KNOW you can do it.

((((Speedy G)))))
Your not really too fat or too old, I think you are suffering from lack of confidence or a dive in self esteem. If you can get running again it will help you to feel better about yourself.
I think you need to start with a run/walk program to get you up and going again. If you want to stay within street lit areas could you run/walk a circuit through your village and repeat it x number of times so that you stay within well lit areas? What about a running club? Or what about a lunchtime run with a workmate?
Don't feel bad - most peeps feel too something (old, fat stupid whatever) at some point in their lives. Try to focus on the benefits running gave you when you did it. Or maybe everytime you run put 50p in a jar and save up to treat yourself to something nice?
Why not join in one of ther beginners threads - I know you're not a beginner but these threads can be very encouraging and supportive to peeps of all abilities.
Good luck Speedy, let us know how you get on x

You speak as though you're the only one who's ever been in the same situation. Thousands of middle aged people, probably most of them never having run before and therefore not having your advantage, have had the same problem to one degree or another and have done something about it.
If I was your coach I'd ask you to do two things. The first would be to create a 1000 calorie deficiency each day and that's easy, just cut the carbs. The second would be to build 30 minutes into your daily schedule when you exercise, preferably a power walk to start with but turning that into a slow walk/jog sequence after 3 or 4 weeks.
I think the best way to find the 30 minutes is to get up 40 minutes earlier in the morning, put on training kit and get out. No diversions or side tracking. It also has the advantage of no-one being around early morning. If you can't do that, then make sure you've got your kit with you at work so that you can take advantage of any spare 1/2 hour.
There's certainly no physical reason why you can't exercise and as someone has already said, us runners have nothing but admiration for those who are starting out. If non-runners aren't impressed does it actually matter? S*d 'em.
Try the 'Mature' thread on General. Loads of friendly people who range from starters to V60/65s running faster than people half their age. It's not just a running thread. There's general support, chat and banter. We keep a racing calendar so you can race with people you know and we get to socials so that we can meet up.

Speedy.G I would agree with plodding hippo. At the moment you are looking for excuses not to run.
I always say that if you really want to, you'll find time and the place to do it. The question is thus do you really want to run? Do you really want to do something about your situation? You know it's a long hard road are you willing to put effort into it? I'm sure somewhere in you, you want all these things. I would say, stop make excuses and start planning and then start moving.

Speedy G, everybody has given you good advice, so all I will add is I started with the run/walk bit, and I would also agree that getting out in the morning is great!
I have found that although I looked a bit daft when I started out, people in my village got used to seeing me out, and now say hello, and ask how I'm getting on and are supportive of me.
The most difficult step is the one out your front door, after that you will be fine!
I am sending you all the support that I can, and look foreward to hearing your progress. The poeple on the threads have given me great confidence and I know you will get the same support too.

Is there some medical reason why your doctor told you you'd never see 10 stone again? Can't think of one, myself.
Anyway - you don't need to be 10 st to run. You know that. You also know that you're not too old or too fat to do anything.
The dark/working long hours/loss of confidence thing are all excuses - you know that, too.
As you've already seen, there are LOTS of people who have been there, and come through it. Some of us have lost less weight than you want to, some more. But all of here have done it - it took five years and countless false starts for me. The key thing was finding these forums, and using the support I found here. It's never-ending, no matter what your achievements, no matter how bad your down-times.
You will find the same - you know that, too, coz you're a forumite of *old*. C'mon. It's Sunday. Go an' have a shuffle.

Good morning folks. Thank you all for responding to my thread. Everything you all say is so right and actualy sitting down and reading it makes so much sense. I do lack confidence big style. Home life is not too great at the moment and I guess that is another excuse not to run, diet etc. I am propably just feeling sorry for myself.
I don't go out in the morning as I get up ay 6am and have to leave for work by 7am and I do not fancy getting up at 5am. I have gone out in the evening round the village but have had some really nasty comments from the kids around here and that is really off putting.
It is the weight gain that has frightened me. I was reasonably slim until 4 years ago when hit by cellulitis which I have had 4 times now accompanied once by a dvt and I think this was my excuse not to run and probably feel sorry for myself. So yes it is all a mental thing. I think I feel foolish because I used to run well and think I will be laughed at now. I used to run with a local running club and really enjoyed it but 4 years ago moved house and they are too far away now. There is another club nearby but they are all good runners and there is no way I could keep up with them. The last club I ran with catered for starters and was really could. In those days I took my turn in staying with the beginners to encourage them.
I do want to run again and I do want to be slimmer. I don't have anyone to run with and no one to talk to about it except on here as I have no friends (never have had so that is not something new) and that is why it was so good this morning to open up the computer and find all your messages of encouragement.
The weather is awful today but I am going to get out there and make a start. I am going to print off this page and everytime I get downhearted I am going to read what you have all said to me for motivation.
Now I have more access to the computer it will be easier to come on the forums and chat with folks.
Thank you all for taking time to listen to me and it is great to see that so many of you have overcome similar problems. There is hope for me. It may be that I have a mid life crisis making me feel I can't do it but with encouragement like you have all given here then I can do it.

Did you watch the fortunes of last year's FLM RW beginners? I think it was Kerry (?). You can.
There are issues here. One is, you were once much better at it. The second is the fear of sniggerers.
Going back and starting at a much lower point than you left a sport, or any skill, is one of the very Hard things in life.
Facing the sniggerers also takes more courage than most folks realize. But standing tall in the presence of sniggerers is actually a terrific sensation. Go ahead, snigger. But I have my trainers on, and I am doing something about it, and some day you may be fat and fifty and I'll be fit and seventy and laughing at you. Practice it in the mirror before you leave. Get used to it, and it feels great!
My equivalent is coming last in races. The feeling "yeah, think what you like, but I did it" always puts me on top of a wave. Every time I find a reason not to run, and don't run because of it, I feel Seriously low.
Give yourself heaps of credit for attempting it. In terms of brownie points, you getting out the door in trainers for 30 minutes counts 10 times what the speedy boys and girls achieve on a 22 mile run.
Sign up for the marathon, say you are going to do it even if you crawl or roll it, and you are going to be hugely proud of that finisher's medal.
Go for it girl!
(I'm 52, not getting any younger, and have the distinction that until October this year, my pb in a half marathon was also one in which I came last in! I am improving.)

PS. Post on training, or whichever thread you choose. On training for example, though I have sometimes been by far the slowest peep on it, even the fastest have made much of my triumphs and pulled me out of the muck on my down days.

Wow speedy you've done a lot of good ploddin. That good plodder aint left you -it is you -though a little hidden right now.
You know that you can return and how much caution you have to take at present. Too fat to diet -eh? Well I am glad of that! You only have to eat well and healthily and work on your self esteem, then. Dieting will pull you up and drag you down later - so stick with the self esteem stuff and start your first few steps to re-capturing the speedy you once were. Oh yeh - too old - my ar%se!!:O)

Hi all. Thanks everyone.
Stickless thanks for your words. You are so right. It is the starting back at a much lower point that I left at and it makes you feel foolish.
But Hey I went out today in all this wind and rain. Managed 3 miles albeit probably 75% of it was walked. Did not wear a watch because I did not want to know how long it took me. The time doesn't matter at the moment. I can walk for miles its just the breaking into a jog that is hard. In November I walked the 10 miles to visit my daughter just because it was a lovely day. Had to get a lift back mind you.
Have entered a marathon although I know I will be last and yes Stickless I will be crawling it by the end by Hey I AM going to do it.
Don't get me wrong I know everyone of you have your own struggles and not every day is easy for you and I admire each and every one who gets out there and does it. I suppose I am just in the doldrums and I need to snap out of it.
So approaching 51 is not all bad I suppose and if I look positively I could have 20 years of running left in me or is that being a bit optomistic!!
And yes Stickless I will post on training. I should go back to keeping a diary. I have years of them telling me what I used to do. So that is another good idea.
Off to have a healthy dinner now. Home cooked no fat veggie soup, then chicken and veggies. Healthy lifestyle here I come.

Hey well done Speedy G, that's ace!! And so what if 75% was walked - walking is good exercise too and you did it, you got out there and I can testify that the weather in Fife was indeed c@rp today!!
Good idea not wearing a watch. For you at the mo getting out there is what's important!!
Well done!!

They turned out by the tens of thousands, some painted in red, white and blue, waving flags and chanting "I Believe!" in city parks, stadiums and sports bars from coast to coast on Tuesday to watch the U.S. national soccer team play Belgium in the knockout round of the World Cup.
Some were die-hard soccer fans. Others were newcomers, spurred on by the rising tide of support for the national team in the world's biggest tournament.
They left without what they wanted: a win.
From Texas to Chicago to California, fans watched nervously as the U.S. and Belgium played 90 scoreless minutes before Belgium scored twice in extra time.
The U.S. responded with a goal but couldn't tie the match to send it to penalty kicks. After 120 minutes of soccer, the Americans' World Cup was over. America, in the middle of its World Cup frenzy, got a reminder that soccer can be a cruel, cruel sport.
"It was heartbreaking," said Adam Graves, a 39-year-old special needs teacher who stood among about 2,000 fans sweating in the 95-degree heat in Austin, Texas, at a city watch party at a park near downtown.
"What a roller coaster. Just when you thought we were out of it, we were back in it. That's what I love about soccer," Graves said.
Others were more distraught.
"I thought we were gonna blow through this. I mean, I knew Belgium was good, but I didn't think we were gonna go out like that," said Sierra Kaufman, 19, of Redondo Beach, California, who had red, white and blue painted on her face.
"Half of these people came here just to dress up in USA stuff but I really wanted them to win," she said.
Tuesday's game was the fourth for the U.S. in Brazil as it tried to move deeper into the tournament. With every game, the crowds swelled as die-hard soccer fans joined the newcomers. Suddenly, America looked like a soccer-crazed country, as people skipped work and gathered in big crowds and watched the game play out on giant screens.
"They're short people at work and they tried to call me in to work but I told them no way. I'll let you know on Thursday if they're mad," said 25-year-old Alex Sanders, who chose watching the game on a Jumbotron at Redondo Beach in Los Angeles over his extra shift at Sports Authority.
Each game pulled in more fans: The U.S.-Portugal game drew 24.7 million television viewers overall, and the 18.22 million who watched on ESPN were the most the network has ever attracted for an event not involving American football. The Germany game averaged 10.7 million viewers, making it the third-most watched World Cup game ever on the network.
The swelling enthusiasm forced cities to make changes to accommodate crowds. In Chicago, home of the U.S. Soccer federation, officials moved a game watch event from a public park to Soldier Field to accommodate an expected crowd of 20,000 or more.
Even in 90-degree temperatures, fans still flocked to watch the big game. In Washington, there were misting stations at the block-long Freedom Plaza to keep fans cool. That wasn't a problem at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, where thousands watched the match in the air-conditioned home of the Dallas Cowboys.
Crowds sang the national anthem together and it was hard to find a seat at game time at Freedom Plaza. Marie Davenport, 76, set up a folding chair outside of the main crowd but with a good view of the big screen.
"I think that after this World Cup Americans are sold on soccer," said Davenport, who thought the scene and crowd's enthusiasm made it a better choice than her living room.
President Barack Obama left the confines of the White House Oval office and joined about 200 staffers in an Executive Office Building auditorium to watch the second half of the game.
"I believe!" he exclaimed as he walked in at the front of the hall. "I believe!" He was quickly joined by a chorus of "I believe that we will win! I believe that we will win!"
As he took a seat in the auditorium's front row, he said sheepishly, "I was worried that if I walked in and Belgium scored, I'd get in trouble."
The loss ended the party for the U.S. fans but not before some agonizing moments as the Americans fought back from two goals down early in extra time.
In Austin, every save by U.S. goal keeper Tim Howard drew a rousing cheer. When Belgium finally scored, a small group of Belgium fans chanted and cheered as hundreds of U.S. fans started leaving, only to come racing back when Julian Green's goal pulled the U.S. within 2-1.
When the final whistle blew, Graves, the school teacher wearing a U.S. soccer jersey, shrugged his shoulders and sighed. He marveled at the turnout of fans in Austin and elsewhere around the country.
"I remember watching games in 1998 at home. There was no point going to a bar because they wouldn't have the game on," Graves said.
Caitlyn Baldasaro, a 21-year-old college student in Austin, said she'd seen video images of giant World Cup watch parties in places like Paris, Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro.
Baldasaro predicted they will only get bigger in the U.S. — if the Americans can eventually find a way to get deeper in the tournament. The U.S. hasn't advanced to the World Cup quarterfinals since 2002, but she predicted the Americans will win it in the next 20 years.
"We're very serious about sports in this country," Baldasaro said. "It will happen someday."

Hundreds of Massachusetts residents have rallied on Beacon Hill in support of legislation to reduce gun violence, joining similar gathering elsewhere in the country sparked by the December school shooting in Newtown, Conn.
U.S. Rep. Ed Markey and state Rep. David Linsky of Natick addressed about 200 people who attended Saturday's rally, asking participants to contact their elected representatives and press them to support gun control.
Linsky, a former Middlesex County prosecutor, is the lead sponsor of legislation to require liability insurance for gun owners, among other proposals to tighten state gun laws.
He and other supporters of the bill filed last week say it would give those injured by a weapon a legal recourse, and create financial incentives that could reduce accidents and fatalities.
Other proposals are also being introduced.

Regions :: Southeast Asia Australia's Chemical Industry to be Hurt by Carbon Tax (update)3:12 AM MDT | July 13, 2011 | Alex Scott (update with comment from Moody's) Julia Gillard, Australia's prime minister, disclosed plans over the weekend to tax the country's 500 largest emitters of carbon dioxide (CO2), including chemical and plastics producers, to the tune of A$23 ($25)/m.t. of CO2. The proposed system would run for a period without any trading of permits, after which time the set price would be replaced by an emissions trading scheme featuring a market price. The scheme is due to start up on July 1, 2012. According to the proposals, chemical and plastics... This information is only available to Chemical Week subscribers. Forgot your user ID or password?

How to add an external power supply
If you regularly use electrical equipment outdoors, such as a lawmower or hedge trimmer, an external power point will make life easier and safer. Importantly, it should feature a residual current device (RCD) that will help to protect you from the risk of fatal electric shock.
Turning inside out with outdoor lighting effects
Warm summer evenings are all about spending time outdoors. Once dusk falls it's often time to move the party indoors. But have you ever thought of bringing the indoors out?

It was not immediately clear what caused the ammunition supply-point blast at the Brak al-Shati air base near the city of Sabha, some 400 miles southeast of Tripoli, the Libya Herald reported.
The blast was followed by a fire.
The facility stored live ammunition and explosives. Such material can catch fire or degrade and become shock-sensitive over time.
"An unknown group tried to infringe on the warehouse causing this unfortunate incident," district Brigadier Mohamed al-Dahabyi told China's official Xinhua News Agency.
The air base's ammunition compound has been hit by a recent rash of raid-like arms and ammunition thefts, the Herald said.
Five days before Thursday's hit, "dozens of gunmen stormed the air base and looted all the ammunition inside the storage, including ammunition for heavy weapons such as rockets and artillery," base commander Col. Ahmed al-Hasnawi told the newspaper.
Libya TV blamed the raid on civilians wanting the ammunition for its valuable copper.
The privately owned Libyan al-Tadamun news agency said more than 30 people were killed in the blast.


text: David: I have been interested in what we Take, Make and Waste, from our society's waste streams for almost 3 decades. My early explorations with the Syndecrete product in the early 1980′s experimented with the detritus of our built environment in creative ways, so the concept of repurposing and the purpose of re- purpose is a foundational concept as well as other investigations. This project was very much organically derived and inspired by the remote site, a 55-acre property at the western edge of the Santa Monica mountain range west of Malibu, California, a property with several pads and unique topography with panoramic views looking out to a nearby mountain range, a valley and the ocean and Channel Islands beyond. The site was previously owned and developed by the Hollywood set designer Tony Duquette who developed over 21 unique structures incorporating found objects from all over the world. In 1995 the Malibu fire destroyed all but a few steel "Pagoda" like structures. When I first visited the site I was struck by the fantastic views, but also the creativity by which Duquette appropriated found objects and made them look as if they were originally crafted like traditional indigenous structures. The use of reclaimed and repurposed objects offers a continuum of the Duquette philosophy and is somewhat of a "Phoenix Rising" conceptually from the ashes of the prior Duquette structures. The first time I had thought about using actual large cut sections of an airplane was standing on the project site, and imagining a floating curved roof. I drew a sketch that showed an elliptical roof section, which reminded me of a laminar flow diagram of an airplane wing. At first, I thought about trying to construct a wing shaped roof, and then it occurred to me… why not just use a wing? A wing is an ideal self supporting structure that cantilevers off a fuselage and is incredibly efficient, in that it achieves the highest strength using the lightest weight and resources. In searching for inspiration, I imagined a roof structure that would allow for an un-obstructed view of the mountain range and distant views and did not want a lot of structure obstructing the views. The client, a woman, requested curvilinear / feminine shapes for the building. The progenitor of the building's form was envisioned as a Lautnerseque curved roof floating over the site and cascading down the site. It soon became apparent, that in fact, re-using large sections of an airplane wing itself could work as an ideal form while minimizing resources and transportation to the remote site, in contrast with typical of conventional construction where thousands of disparate pieces are transported long distances, none of which fit and 30% of which are then hauled away as construction and demolition waste.Inhabitat: When did it first occur to you to use an old airplane to create parts of the house?

Hi this is Jake from Telltale, dropping a note into the top of this post.
I know we usually don't edit posts like this, but I wanted to let anyone reading this thread know that the discs and much of the merchandise is shipping out now! You can read about the details, and see pictures from the manufacturing press check, and more, in this Telltale blog post.
Now back to the original post by Squarehard...
It's been about two months since I put in my order for the standard DVD, and it has yet to arrive, or even ship.
And now when I go to check the status, the item is backordered.
I don't like to complain about stuff like this often, but this is starting to get ridiculous.
Why even offer to sell the DVDs if they're never going to ship out anyways, and paying for the shipping ahead of time just to have nothing to show for it months after.
I won't make too big of a deal about this unless it takes another two months, at which time, I'm sure there is going to be a much bigger deal made about it, not just from me.
Love the game, not so happy with the company right now.

Dortmund reaches Champions League final
MADRID Borussia Dortmund needed every bit of its first-leg advantage to stave off a comeback attempt by Real Madrid and reach the Champions League final for the first time since 1997.
Karim Benzema scored in the 83rd minute and Sergio Ramos in the 88th, putting Real Madrid in position to advance with one more goal. But Dortmund held on for a 4-3 aggregate win following a 2-0 loss Tuesday night.
They put a lot of pressure on us, Dortmund midfielder Kevin Grosskreutz said. However, we are a great club and deserved to go through.
Bundesliga champion Bayern Munich has a four-goal advantage on Barcelona ahead of Wednesdays game. The Champions League final is May 25 at Londons Wembley Stadium, setting up the possibility of the first all-German final in soccers top club competition.
Wembley will be one of the greatest moments in our lives, but whichever team we meet, we will not be the favorite, Dortmund coach Juergen Klopp said. In Wembley everyone will see we are not going to be satisfied with just being a finalist.
Madrid, which has not reached the final since winning its record ninth title in 2002, was eliminated in the semifinals for the third straight year under coach Jose Mourinho. Trailing Barcelona by 11 points in the Spanish League with five games left, Reals only realistic hope for a title this season comes when it hosts Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey final on May 17.
Mourinho is expected to leave after his third season, perhaps to return to Chelsea in Englands Premier League. Asked whether he will remain with Madrid next season, Mourinho replied: Maybe not. He then said, I love to be where people love me to be.
I know in England I am loved. ... I know Im loved by some clubs, especially one, he said. In Spain the situation is a bit different because some people hate me.
Dortmunds last visit to the final since 1997 was a 3-1 victory over Juventus at Munichs Olympic Stadium for its only European title.
Robert Lewandowski, who scored all four goals for Dortmund last week, missed two good chances in the second half, shooting over the crossbar in the 49th and hitting the crossbar a minute later. Diego Lopez kept Madrid in the series when he dived to save Ilkay Gundogans close-range shot in the 62nd.
English referee Howard Webb called for five minutes of stoppage time, creating a nervy finish after Ramos goal.
Its a shame. Sometimes you lose. That is football, Ramos said. In Dortmund we should have played the way we did tonight. We feel for the fans. Its a shame to have been so close, but the missed chances in the first half were costly.
No team has overcome a three-goal deficit from the first leg in a Champions League knockout stage matchup since Deportivo La Coruna beat AC Milan 4-0 in the 2003-04 quarterfinals for a 5-4 aggregate win.MORE IN Sports WireCLEVELAND The headband returned.

It's that time of year again, when everyone comes together to focus on the things that truly matter: The Consumer Electronics Show! And this year, let's remember to keep the CONSUMER in Consumer Electronics Show. Anyway, we here at Woot will be heading to Las Vegas for our annual exercise in expense account fraud, but this year we figured we'd try something a little different: this year we thought we'd try preparing. We're putting out the call. Are you going to be at CES? Then let's get together! We want to hear from you if you'll be at the convention with a product to demonstrate, a party we can crash, a spokesman you'd like us to interview, or press credentials we can abuse. If you've got a CES-related event and want Woot there delivering snarky, irrelevant coverage then hit up the Woot Writers on Twitter. Let us know what you've got going on and how we can "enhance" it. (I put "enhance" in quotes because really I meant "mooch off of it." But seriously, we'll interview you and junk.) And if you're heading to CES in a geek blogger capacity, stay tuned for a special opportunity to become a Woot Writer For a Day!
Are you excited for CES and our annual avalanche of coverage? Planning on going yourself? Want to suggest something we should cover? Don't give a damn about the whole thing and just came here to complain about an order or something? Let's talk about it in the comments!
Definitely check out CEA's Innovation Movement at CES. They're supporting innovation-focused policies in Congress. (www.declareinnovation.com) See you all there!
I'll be there as press.
I'm going, part of the team that makes the official mobile application.

We did! I think we've been there every year for as long as I can remember. edit: LINK NOW WORKS so embarrassed
I will be there. My first CES, so I am looking forward to it. Any tips for a newb other than visiting the Woot booth?
Slydon wrote:We did! I think we've been there every year for as long as I can remember.
lol. Your link just opens up this blog... Anyway, i KNOW yous guys were there, as I was summoned there by Jason and Matthew, as documented here: SBC-Jester21 @ CES 2011 (Be sure to scroll down to see all the pictures of Vlad with hot booth babes!) But what I meant was, why didn't you guys have this fan promotion LAST year, when I could've cashed in on it :oÞ Though, Matthew did make a video blog with me in it... so I guess I can't complain too much... (and I won a w00t-able Award too!)
I'll be going again this year. Sadly, I'm neither a vendor with a product or any kind of press/blogger. So yet again I plan to wear Woot shirt daily & be unilaterally ignored by Woot, much like ever other year. (One year I had funny pictures & video taken of me, but sadly none made it to the website. Maybe this year I'll go on the offensive with the screaming monkeys! Yes! I'll create a power outage, then use my night vision goggles and hunt Woot staff without mercy!!!! Or I'll just stand in line nicely and get my monkey like everyone else.
I've got a Press Pass to CES next year again. Nothing like 7 days of CES!!
I will be there supporting my employer, Fremont based - Innergie. We are part of Delta Products Corporation, the world's largest power supplier. Innergie sells mobile power devices that can be used in your car, home office or on an airplane. We power up almost 10,000+ USB based devices. Contact me for a demonstration of our newest products (Power Cell, Magic Cable Duo, Magic Cable Trio as well as the five bundled combo packs). Check us out: www.myinnergie.com Peace!
do you need a chaperone for the off hours?
Didn't notice you last year (pic is from 2010) but we will try to find you again! I go each year to report/take photos/video for a tech news site; always a blast!
I will be there.... Floor and high-end audio floors in the Venitian. 23rd CES Ina row. No press creds though. Happy to cause trouble. :-D

Roadtrip remnants are basically the trash left lying in your car after concluding a long roadtrip, usually with a few friends in tow. They usually consist of, but are not necessarily limited to, (half) empty bags of potato chips, food crumbs, empty soda cans/bottles, food wrappers, fast-food drink cups, and maybe a condom or two.
After coming back from Utah last weekend, I spent an hour cleaning the roadtrip remnants out of my car.
