Earlier this year, the ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement department received a tip that a New York City woman was living with a large number of dogs. When Agents arrived at the woman's home, they found more than 50 Dachshund adults and puppies.
It was clear the owner needed help, and that the ASPCA's pioneering Cruelty Intervention Advocacy (CIA) program was best suited to assist.
A team of five professionals that includes a social worker and case worker, CIA aims to stop cruelty before it starts. A large part of the team's work is intervening in hoarding situations to assist both the animals and the people involved. CIA's groundbreaking, holistic approach to these complex and sensitive cases both improves the welfare of animals affected and helps prevent hoarders from acquiring more animals.
Participation as a CIA client is voluntary, so it's essential that the team ensure clients feel comfortable asking for assistance. In this case, says CIA Director Allison Cardona, "the owner had reached a point where she was very overwhelmed by continuous litters and wanted help—initially just for spay/neuter—but as we engaged with her and established a relationship, she admitted to being overwhelmed by the number and expressed interest in giving some of the dogs up for adoption."
The client agreed to initially surrender 21 dogs. "Despite her desire to reduce the population, it's still very hard for her to part with the animals, and it's a slow process," Cardona notes.
All 55 dogs received spay/neuter services, wellness checks, vaccinations and other veterinary care as needed from an ASPCA Mobile Spay/Neuter Clinic, the ASPCA Animal Hospital and our partner veterinarians. Some of the adult dogs will receive ongoing behavioral treatment from ASPCA behaviorists. Fourteen of the Doxies surrendered were puppies who headed to the ASPCA Adoption Center to start their new lives. There, they were spayed and neutered, received treatment for infection, and soaked up lots of socialization. Soon after they became available for adoption, of course, the puppies were quickly snapped up by qualified families.
In the coming weeks, the very grateful owner will surrender another wave of dogs, and the CIA program will continue to work with her to ensure the welfare of her animals.
"Our cases stay open for as long as is needed," says Cardona. "We form lasting relationships and continue to check in and provide services beyond the initial intervention."
Stay tuned to the ASPCA blog for more information on this case, including photos of the puppies in their new homes. For now, we hope you enjoy these happy adoption pictures of some of the rescued puppies starting their new lives. We sure did!

Where can the doxies be adopted? They are so freaking cute and I know someone who wants one.
I am so happy to say I am one of the lucky people who got the privilege to be able to adopt of the little puppies! I already have a chiwinnie that I adopted a year ago that I absolutely adore and I wanted a playmate for her and fell in love when I saw a picture of my new little baby on petfinder! She is a bundle of joy. She is wonderful with my other dog but very shy around people. And has major separation anxiety which isn't a surprise since she was in a house with 50 other dogs. I am so happy to give her a loving home! For all those people bashing the poor lady that hoarded all the dogs, yes it is a disgusting thing but its a mental illness and she cant help it. She needs serious help and without the intervention and the amazing work of the ASPCA the puppies that were rescued would still be there. And I wouldn't be blessed with my little Hailey. So maybe you should ease up a bit and do your research before you go running your mouth.
I sure do love a happy ending. The photos of these adorable dogs with their new pet parents are priceless. It's always so nice to see this, and to know that there are so many loving people out there. Thank you for all the hard work that you all do. Without you, and the loving people out there there would be so much suffering and pain. Linda Pannell

Thank you for intervening in the lives of these adorable dogs! They now have a second chance at being truly well cared for and loved.
Adorable! My fiancé and I have a handsome boy shorthair mini doc named coco! We are looking to adopt a little girl shorthair mini doc!!
It's dumb for someone to have like a-cazzilion animals when they don't care for them. Either they have to much and its a lot of work but they love the animals, or people just try to sell them for money. Anybody know?

An ancient art open to innovation, ceramics gives you a broad vision for craft, technology and invention. Intellectual curiosity and a passion for process are the essential tools for this major.
As you pursue the ceramics major, you will be grounded in conceptual issues and techniques of forming and firing, including sculptural building, throwing on a potter's wheel, mold-making and slip-casting. You also will work with a wide range of clay bodies, glazes and kilns, all with an emphasis on professional practice that prepares you for a career in the arts. Glass has recently been introduced into the elective course offerings, and you will have opportunities to explore ways that glass and clay can be integrated in utilitarian and sculptural objects. Faculty encourage risk-taking as you master technique, inventing and blending processes as you define and create a body of work for exhibition.
An internship is required for ceramics majors, and students have had exciting experiences working as studio assistants for local, regional and international artists and in a variety of capacities in art centers, galleries and museums.

I've founded a startup with my friends a few months ago, and—due to some personal issues like starting college and moving to a new town—I've found that I'm likely going to miss an important deadline for the project we're working on.
I'm stressing out about this, and I'm not sure what I should do. How can I handle this stress and communicate the delay to my team?

When movie historians sum up the 2013 Oscars, there's only one way they'll describe it: The year of changing fortunes, when the old gave way to the new.
Things didn't start out that way.
Early in the run-up to Sunday's Academy Awards, it seemed that film critics, fans and odds-makers had many major categories nailed down.
Hailed as a towering triumph of directing and acting, Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" was running comfortably ahead of the pack for best picture, according to goldderby.com and other betting websites. Wynn's online betting board pegged the veteran 67-year-old director's presidential biopic as a 1-to-2 favorite Jan. 10, the day the nominees were announced.
But "Argo" director Ben Affleck got snubbed by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences – ignored in the best director category even though his movie was among the nine finalists for best picture. (So were three other directors whose films were nominated this year.) That energized Affleck's champions and helped power "Argo's" remarkable awards-season sweep and sudden rise to top Oscar best-picture contender; it passed "Lincoln" by mid-January in most polls and claimed the prize to cap the ceremony at Hollywood's Dolby Theatre.
What could be more exciting to Affleck's camp than equaling Bruce Beresford's feat? Back in 1990, the Australian was the last unnominated director whose film won best picture: "Driving Miss Daisy."
Ang Lee's "Life of Pi" also defied expectations, with Lee taking the director's prize and the film receiving three technical awards to be the night's biggest winner in numerical terms.
Another early favorite had been director Kathryn Bigelow's grim spy drama, "Zero Dark Thirty," but its glow faded quickly after Washington politicians of both parties, in a rare display of bipartisanship, condemned its positive depiction of torturing prisoners to help find Osama bin Laden.
That cloud of controversy also dampened Jessica Chastain's formerly credible chances of nabbing the best actress honors for her star turn in that film as a driven CIA agent. Jennifer Lawrence, who'd been always favored in the best actress category for her performance in "Silver Linings Playbook," spurted well ahead of Chastain by mid-January after criticism of "Zero Dark Thirty" had reach a crescendo.
The upstarts and dark horses were frequently rewarded on Oscar night.
The evening's first surprise winner was Christoph Waltz in the supporting actor category. He was considered a relative long shot for his work as a 19th-century German bounty hunter in Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained," particularly since he had already won the category for another Tarantino movie ("Inglourious Basterds") three years ago. (Pollster Nate Silver and several others had placed him a distant third.) Many had predicted Tommy Lee Jones would nab the category, which this year was unusual in one respect: all five nominees were previous Oscar winners.
Waltz gave thanks "to his creator and the creator of his awe-inspiring world, Quentin Tarantino."
Supporting actress winner Anne Hathaway was always the favorite, but her honor could be seen as a nod to youth over experience. At 30, she was the category's youngest nominee by eight years. And the award felt like an act of forgiveness for the unfair pummeling Hathaway took after co-hosting the 2011 telecast (the academy has been pandering to the youth demographic for years, usually with dismal results).
"It came true," said Hathaway softly as she clutched her Oscar.
Perhaps Hathaway's win is a sign that musicals are finally shedding their mantle of disrespectability, at least at the Academy Awards. Movie musicals have contributed two other best supporting actress winners since the genre's renaissance: Catherine Zeta-Jones for "Chicago" (2002) and Jennifer Hudson for "Dreamgirls" (2006).

From the tee it appeared to go left at the first bend in the fairway. I would love to get it back. Sadly I think my name & Phone # have faded over the years, but if you find one that meets my description; it is probably mine. Will reward with another disc or $5. Thanks!

Scovill Nedicks' Nickel, 1953
"Eat Better for Less," claims this metal token, a clever co-promotion for Nedicks' lunch counters in New York City and cigarettes. To get the token, customers had to purchase a pack of cigarettes from a vending machine. Each pack contained a token that could be redeemed at the counter, thus giving Nedicks' customers a discount on cigarettes. The token bears the image of Walter S. Mack, Jr. president of National Phoenix Industries, Inc., owner of the Nedicks' chain and inventor of the promotion. The Scovill Manufacturing Company, the manufacturer who produced the metal disks, produced thousands of similar tokens over its long history. Established in 1802 in Waterbury, CT, Scovill began as a button maker and eventually created all kinds of metal fasteners, tokens, and coinage.

Good product. And very fast shipping. Very happy with my sneakers!
Julie Evans
Awesome!!! Deffo. going to grab another pair. These trainers are the way forward!
I like colors and the typical Etnies style.
In this model the rubber around the shoes shoul be better glued, but the post sales assistance is very good, they really want you a satisfied customer.
I bought these shoes for my 8 year old son in late August. It's now late November and these shoes are ready for the trash. They are literally falling apart. The soles are fine; they look almost brand new. The canvas is separating from itself leaving large holes in several places on the shoes. In addition the edge of the area near the grommets for the laces flipped up almost immediately and can't be glued back down because then it restricts the movement of the tongue. (I know...I tried). The laces are too slick and too stretchy to be tied properly. I was going to replace them but the shoes fell apart so quickly that I wasn't about to spend more money on them. I'm embarrassed to send my son to school in these shoes, but I don't have $45 to drop every three months, so they will have to hold together long enough for Santa to come in a month. This is the worst item I believe I've ever purchased. The first time I've dealt with etnies will be my last. I'd give them zero stars if I could.

Federal Drive Interviews -- Feb. 1, 2013
Friday - 2/1/2013, 9:29am EST
This is the Federal Drive show blog. Here you can listen to the interviews, find more information about the guests on the show each day and links to additional resources.
Today's guests:
senior research analyst
Merit Systems Protection Board
Federal managers on the whole do a mediocre job of managing their people and the positions they oversee. That's one take-away from a survey just-completed by the Merit Systems Protection Board. The result is less-than-optimal stewardship of the government's most valuable asset, it's people. We asked Sharon Roth, senior research analyst at the MSPB, about the survey, starting with a definition of stewardship.
deputy director
Navy Office of Women's Policy
It's about time. By and large, that's what military leaders and analysts are saying about the Pentagon's decision to let female troops fill up to a quarter-million combat jobs that used to be for men only. The services have until May to figure out how to make this happen. And they have until 2016 to request that some jobs remain just for men. So all of this raises some questions about how the military will and should proceed. Lt. Cmdr. Jean Marie Sullivan is the deputy director of the Navy Office of Women's Policy. She also chairs an annual women's leadership symposium for all servicewomen.
senior audit executive
Treasury Inspector General for Tax Audit
The IT division of the Internal Revenue Service has cut the time it takes to hire new employees down to 90 days. That's down from more than seven months in 2009. IRS as a whole has struggled with long hiring times, and the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration has just released a report on its efforts to improve.

About Amos Lee
About Amos Lee
Amos Lee gives off the vibe of a low-key performer and looks like he belongs on the cover of Rolling Stone. He draws inspiration from the likes of the legendary James Taylor and sounds like the male Norah Jones. Oh yeah, he's also been called a "magnificent singer" by Adele and counts Paul Simon among his fans.
Lee's voice? It's blowing everyone away.
This Philadelphia-born musician has been a number of things – a college grad with an English degree, a schoolteacher and a bartender. But this music thing certainly seems to be working out for him, doesn't it? He has some five albums to his name on Blue Note Records and has toured with everyone from the aforementioned Jones to Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Merle Haggard, the Zac Brown Band and many more.
It was back in 2008 when Lee's "Last Days at the Lodge" cracked the top 40, becoming his highest-charting album to date. But three years later, his "Mission Bell" album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and at the top of the Digital albums chart. Some famous artists had a hand in the success, as the likes of Willie Nelson, Lucinda Williams and Priscilla Ahn were among those to lend their vocals to the project. Guest stars or no, critics raved. One even called the album "another showcase for Lee's elegant, soothing songwriting."
Lee's latest album, "Mountains of Sorrow, Rivers of Song," bowed in the fall of 2013. His 2014 summer tour will run into the fall, with dates booked all the way into October.

COSTA MESA – When your punter gets crossed up by a bad snap, and then gets hit when he gets the kick away, and then the ball hits an official in the back of his shoulder and bounces back to your 33-yard-line ...
And when everything else you've tried to do has been buried in a lemon avalanche of yellow flags ...
And when your underdog opponent is kicking field goals into the fog and all you can see is the official holding up his hands ...
Dave White nodded wearily when it was all done.
"Yes, I started wondering," the Edison coach said Friday night on the field at Orange Coast College, after the Chargers tested the limits of 48 minutes to beat back Foothill, 22-16, in a Southwest Division semifinal.
"A lot of things didn't go right. I said, well, maybe we don't deserve it. They outplayed us. But our guys found a way to win. They've done it all year."
Click here to view highlights and interviews.
The Chargers (12-1) play Villa Park next Friday night in Angel Stadium for the Southwest Division title, and they can't wait to turn that page. Foothill (10-3) led, 16-14, in the fourth on Sean Pihl's third field goal.
"Relief, more than anything," said quarterback Alek Torgersen, who was the punter on that wacky play that put Pihl in line for his second field goal. "But I thought we'd pull it together because that's what we do.
"The penalties were tough to overcome. It seemed like we were starting 10 yards back from where we should have, all night. It's hard to get first downs when it's first and 20. And I've never seen anything like that punt. It was ridiculous.
"But Foothill played a great game. I train a lot with Jack (Gilchrist, the resourceful Foothill quarterback) and I know what kind of player he is."
White and Foothill coach Doug Case are friends as well.
"He put in some extra stuff," White said. "He put extra guys in the box, played a lot of man coverage, dared us to pass. They got a lot of pressure on Alek. He did a great job.
"And then it was so tough to see, with the fog, that it was tough on our receivers. We have to play better, but we're happy to get out with a win."
The first half was foggy and so were the Chargers. Penalties torpedoed one drive, an interception by Foothill's Julian Moss set up a touchdown pass from Gilchrist to Jarrell Moss that put the Chargers down, 7-0.

Fast-tracking phased retirement
Friday - 5/24/2013, 2:00am EDT
The definition of fast-tracking is one of those depends-on-what-you-mean-by fast riddles.
A fast track probably means one thing to a snail, another to an antelope or NASCAR fan and still another thing to a federal lawyer whose job is translating fuzzy, sometimes contradictory language into regulations and reality.
There are fast-tracks that aren't very fast. And there are super fast-tracks which are faster, but not by much.
Which may explain why the person who coined the term "the devil is in the details" must have worked for the federal government at some point. Or be the descendant of somebody high up in the king's court.
Maybe the IRS, Labor Department, FDA or the OPM.
All those agencies must write — and in many cases enforce — rules, regulations and guidelines based on often shaky or confusing laws passed by the Congress and signed into law by the President.
Regulations can deal with everything from tax exemptions and coalmine safety regulations to which drugs can be marketed and exit strategies for ready-to-retire feds.
For instance: Last year — when Congress was temporarily thinking good thoughts about the bureaucracy — it passed legislation to permit people to ease into retirement. Under phased retirement, workers selected by their agency would be able to work a few days each week. They would mentor younger employees or their replacement while getting used to retirement. It was billed as a win-win for everybody. No problem, right?
All that was necessary was that OPM write the regulations and away you go!
Not so easy. Turns out there are lots of i's to dot and t's to cross.
OPM has been focused on reducing its backlog in retirement applications — and has generally done a very good job. The problem is that while OPM is moving faster than ever, more and more people have been putting in their papers. In a letter to the editor last weekend, a retired fed and Washington Post reader said he had waited more than a year, was frustrated by OPM and was turning to his member of Congress and two senators.
In a speech last year then-OPM Director John Berry said he was pushing the staff to come up with the phased-retirement rules as quickly as possible. At the time he hoped they would be out by early 2013. This week OPM told us that the proposed new regulations are still under review.

5 percent of federal workforce to be furloughed Friday
About five percent of the federal workforce will be off Friday. An administration official confirmed that about 115,000 employees from six agencies will be furloughed tomorrow.
Katherine Archuleta chosen as next OPM director
President Barack Obama will nominate Katherine Archuleta today to be the next director of the Office of Personnel Management, a White House official told Federal News Radio. If confirmed, Archuleta would replace John Berry, whose term ended in April.
Congress pressures agencies to speed up office consolidations
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is feeling the heat for moving too slowly to consolidate more than 1.2 million square feet of office space. Members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management want to know why the NRC spent millions of dollars to renovate office space that it may never use.

Get the kids in their pajamas, pop your own popcorn and pile everyone into the stationwagon to head to the drive-in for a double feature.
The first drive-in theater opened in 1933 in Pennsauken, New Jersey. In the midst of the Depression, many theaters charged by the car, a popular promotion for families. There was no need to dress up or mind your manners. As an early advertisement said, "The whole family is welcome, regardless of how noisy the children are."
For the 25 years after World War II, the drive-in was a popular alternative to the sit-down movie theater, wedding American's love of movies and cars. At its peak in the early 1960s, there were more than 4,000 drive-in theaters from coast-to-coast, including a whopper in Long Island that could handle 2,500 cars.
Drive-ins weren't for everyone. Cinemaphiles were aghast at the poor quality of the picture and the scratchy sound systems. Morality campaigners didn't like the idea of teenagers alone in their cars in the dark – and perhaps forgetting there was a movie on the screen.
The good times lasted until the 1970s. As land values rose and home entertainment blossomed, the drive-in faded from the entertainment scene. Converted to flea markets or bulldozed for new developments, a working drive-in is a rarity today, especially in urban areas with expensive real estate. There are about 350 left in the U.S. Orange County residents have to drive to Riverside or the City of Industry to see a movie in their car.
Even as the surviving theaters battle a new problem – digital projection that most can't afford – there's a preservation movement to keep some of the best of the remaining drive-ins lighting up the outdoor sky. If a road trip takes you near one, stop in and kick back for a nostalgic experience of genuine Americana.
Because more films are being made or distributed in digital format, drive-ins have the choice of either making the change to digital projectors, which cost over $75,000 each, or closing down. Here's a list of some notable drive-ins close by and around the country.

The oldest drive-in in the U.S.
Shankweiler's Drive-in Theatre in Orefield, Pa., opened in 1934, just a year after the first drive-in opened in New Jersey. The drive-in, 8 miles northwest of Allentown, is still going strong. It was largely rebuilt after Hurricane Diane in 1955, which destroyed the projection booth and screen and left only the entrance arch intact. The owners, Paul and Sharon Geissinger, have restored the theater since buying it in 1984 (Paul has worked there since 1971). The drive-in and its owners were recently profiled on the PreservationNation blog of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. "That's basically what Susan and I are: preservationists," Paul Geissinger told the blog. "We're committed to preserving America's oldest drive-in." 4540 Shankweiler Rd.

Ryan Thompson led Okapi with 23 points while Thomas Dreesen had 17 and Bradley Tinsley 16.
EWE Baskets top the group at 3-0 while Okapi drop to 1-2.
Okapi Aalstar coach Brad Dean"After a very good first quarter, Oldenburg let off a little bit so we could fight back into the game but it took a lot of energy. I didn't have a great rotation so my players were tired at the end. But I'm proud they were competing till the end."
Okapi Aalstar player Ioana Tofi"We fought for 40 minutes but we need to give credit to Oldenburg because they kept their cool and they could rotate better and made more shots. We gave ourselves 100% and we don't need the fatigue to call as an excuse for this loss. Oldenburg was the better team today."
EWE Baskets coach Sebastian Machowski"I'm very happy with the win so we stay unbeaten in the EuroChallenge and we stay in touch for going to the Quarter-Finals. I know this was a difficult moment for Aalstar with a lot of injured players. At the end we shot well against the zone defense and we deserved to win."
EWE Baskets player Julius Jenkins"After a big start we stopped playing defense and Aalstar made some nice open shots and they came back in the game. In the third quarter we started strong again and stabilized our defense."

Beautiful Sets of Stationary
I loved being able to take a template design and make it my own with my wedding colors and favorite fonts. The quality is great, and was very impressed with the final product. I loved how they also sent me some sample cards and a color card. The color card is very helpful, as a lot of times the colors on the computer screen don't show up as the exact color that it would be on paper. I also loved how you could ask for sample cards in the template design you are most interested in, as it gave me a great idea of what to expect for the specific design I wanted. I also think it's great that MagnetStreet has many templates that have coordinating sets (save-the-dates, invites, thank you's, favors, etc). So far I've only ordered my save-the-dates, but will be ordering the invites, thanks you's enclosure cards, etc very soon!

L'Artisan Amber Extreme is a little bit sweet. It's unisex, but I think a man could wear it better than a woman. Well, better than this woman, anywho! My husband says Cool Water-- he says it's a little sweet but not overbearing. Good luck! : )
Thread: Sweet/Sugary/Gourmand Scents
Ok - my wife likes me to wear sweeter scents like Blue Sugar, Blu Mediterraneo Mandorlo di Sicilia and Virgin Island Water... I dont mind them occasionally but the sweetness does get to me after a while. I want to make my wife happy... and she seems to like me better when I smell Root Beer or Cotton Candy But need to find some that I might enjoy more. Any recommendations on "better" scents that will still satisfy her sweet/sugary/gourmand thing?

You might want to try Rochas Man. It is quite sweet with coffee notes; and it has the merit of being cheap.
So if you don't like it,at least you won't regret buying it.

If I knew what you were looking for I could probably help out. For example, if you like lavender and sandalwood, I'd say sample Rochas Man first. If you want something more subtle, with coffee, plum, and mild spices, I'd say Jacomo Silver.

I second the Rochas Man recommendation - and it's easy to find and very inexpensive.
Dior Homme and Dior Homme Intense have a sweet/gourmand aspect, but they are also layered and very subtle. The Intense is hard to find (and sweeter), so perhaps just the Dior Homme.
I just tried a gourmand that gets little recognition - but very much deserves it - as a super-high quality, unisex gourmand that is complex but easy to wear with great sillage and longevity..... are you ready for the magic 'unknown' fragrance...... Dior Hypnotic Poison. You will see me promoting this over the next few weeks because it's awesome and more guys should know about it.
If you want tooth-decay sweet, there's a fragrance at Luckyscent you should try - Chia by Farmacia SS Anunziata. It's a gorgeous sugar gourmand.
PI and Bvlgari Black.
Peace ~ Markymark
Also, take a look at jojoelle.com. I just found out about them, and they have a very long list of fragrances, most of which are sweet, but you can get something that also has a non-gourmand element to it.

I third Rochas Man,
You might also like Ignition By Lomani and Opium PH.
Good luck.
I second, in a big way, Dior Homme. Don't much like it myself but, then again, I don't much like A*men either. Still, both feel right at times.
Double-second Black! That was my first thought. It's not terribly or even very sweet, but it is multi-faceted and lovely. I wore it yesterday, in fact.
Datura Noir? Can't wrap my mind around it. I wear more "feminines" than masculine, probably, just given the size of my collection, but this SL strikes me as too womanly too pull off well. It is gorgeous, though, and my wife loves it.
Red Aoud? Maybe some other sweeter Montales?
But once you get locked into a serious perfume collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.
I fourth Rochas Man.
There are tons of fragrances that fit in your category, the question is what would help you to appreciate a gourmand? E.g. if smokyness/spicyness may make it more enjoyable for you, try YSL Body Kouros or SL Fumerie Turque.
Dior Bois d'Argent - iris patchouli honey = bliss
Profumum Antico Caruso is a really well done sweet almond. Very comfortable and satisfying to wear, esp in the winter months.
I kid you not Harajuku Lovers lil angel is like an explosion in a candy store !!!!!
Two words: Serge Lutens! Sweet and very complex, high quality scents. Check them out if you haven't already.

Fresh Cannabis Santal is worth a try.
Consider these 2:
Givenchy Very Irresistible Fresh Attitude: It's like cotton candy with extra sugar.
Zirh Corduroy: dry down is like Bulgari Black with a little cinnamon. Not overly sweet, but very gourmand. Has been described as a "delicious cake".
My husband loves the smell of it. I think it smells like a teeny bopper girl actually (and so does the bottle), but hey...to each his own, right?
Speaking of Zirh Corduroy, I am wearing it today, just had lunch about 1 hour ago and its gourmand effect infused with an assortment of smells from coworkers' lunches around me is REALLY making me hungry already!
I'll have to agree with the Rochas Man recommendation.
The nice thing about this one is not only is a sweet gormand, inexpensive and long lasting...but it's quite good and complex and sophisticated too.
It doesn't quite hit you over the head like A*Men either. If I smelled Rohcas before I smelled A*Men I wouldn't have had the aversion to gourmands that I did for several years.
If you want a elegant, more sophisticated version of A*Men, i will recomend L`Instant de Guerlain.
A*Men is the most trendy and youthful of them, while L`Instant is the elegant, sophisticated, and classy of them.. IMO, L`instant is a winner!
Perhaps you and she can share a bottle of the wonderful Loukhoum by Keiko Mecheri.
I'm wearing it now, and it's goooooooood!
another Rochas Man supporter.....i actually think that its half brother from Bond # 9 New Haarlem is nowhere near as pleasant or enjoyable....
another bond # 9 recommendation - Nuits De Noho.....unisex heavy gourmand with gorgeous pineapple notes infused and some light florals......beautiful composition, enticing, sexual and alluring....lasts forever and appeals to both sexes.
one no one has mentioned yet (surprise surprise Mike Perez) is Paco Rabanne Black XS......sweet, sweet amber with pounds of strawberrry and light citrus to round it out.....youthful gourmand if there is any......so far havent met a woman who didnt enjoy this one.
CDG 3 (The one you CAN'T find anywhere) for trade.

ointments and perfume delight the heart....
Jaipur Homme is a good masculine vanilla-scent.
If you're looking into Dior Homme; give the intense verision an extra wearing, it's the more gourmand-like of the three (cologne, edt, edp/intense).
For a hardcore alternative that I bet you wouldn't be able to resist either: Hermés, Hermessence Collection - Ambre Narguile. Think homemade apple pie topped with cinnamon and vanilla.

"- Harry, I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange."
Bogart pour Homme comes to mind, as does (!!!) vintage Tabu. (Really a unisex thing, and a definite root beer vibe there.)
Rochas Man is great, too, especially if you like coffee.
Obsession NIght has a definite coconut note but lacks anything "sugary."
Carlos Santana for Men is all about apples, spice and musk. Fabulous juice for the money.
Chanel Allure pour Homme is not really a gourmand, but it comes close and still lacks the sweetness you find cloying.
(Btw, Perry Ellis M is a great alternative to Allure if money is an issue.)
Givenchy Pi is a personal favorite, but may be a tad sweet for your taste. Try it first.
I keep hearing good things about A*men Pure Coffee, but I've yet to try it.

Another vote for Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin, I love that scent and it's so good your wife may life it for herself as well. Rochas Man is nice too, I bought that for my brother and he doesn't like sweet scents, but wears it all the time, it's not too sweet for you, but sweet enough that she may like it..
Serge Lutens Chergui
L'Artisan Tea for Two
These two I have tested. I cannot wear them, but then again I have a low tolerance for such smells. You might enjoy them though.
I totally recommend Lolita Lempicka Au Masculin and Rochas Man, can´t go wrong with those two
Devotion for Men is one I forgot.

These are a litle more expensive than many others recommended but I think that they might work for you.
Omnia Ambra is a sweet gourmand with orange, almond and a vanillic amber. Your wife will want to eat you...
SL Arabie. Sweet and dense like dried fruit
Ava Luxe Ambre D'Or, sweet rich amber. Not really anything gourmand about though.
MPG Ambre Preceiux
Seek not the favor of the multitude; it is seldom got by honest and lawful means. But seek the testimony of few; and number not voices, but weigh them. - Immanuel Kant
Do give Roma Uomo by Laura Biagiotti a try. It's not as sweet as most of the others being mentioned here, so it won't make you feel uncomfortable with yourself wearing it.
No guru, not method, no teacher
Just you and I and nature
I'm throwing in my vote for Cannabis Santal as well, in my opinion ( and in pretty much direct contradiction to the obvious marketing schtick of the name) it's a reserved gourmand for grown ups. It's sweet but more of a natural sweet without being cloying, and I can pick up the various fruit notes without them having been sacrificed to some sort of jam melange. Also the chocolate note is very clear but somehow you will avoid smelling like a cadbury bar with fruit and nuts. If you have a sephora around, you owe it to yourself to go in and try it on!
Also, it's not a monster of a scent that will leave a huge trail behind you ala A*men, it's basically a discrete gourmand for a more mature man.
I'd also like to recommend Polo Double Black, the mango and coffee mix sounds odd but it works! Has a more 'youthful' feel though, however it's easy to find so don't let that stop you from trying it!

Lolita Lempicka
Midnight Poison Elixir
Well, I think that the well-known and modern (or rather contemporary) classic Gucci Envy always had some gourmand connotations...
I fifth Rochas man
Rochas man is gourmand .. in fact it's the ony gourmand i can wear so far. It's quite nice, not too candy shop like.
Usually the gourmand fragrances are not my cup of tea.
I'm gonna have to say Rochas Man, simply due to the fact that it would fit the bill perfectly and is also very affordable.
For niche, I have to suggest a few of the PG scents, namely Cedar Sandaraque and Aomassai

I can't believe no one has suggested this yet:
L'Artisan - Mechant Loup
honey and hazelnuts. Great scent, just not exactly my style. I'm not usualy into gourmand.
If you just want sweet, try Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan, Tauer's L'Air du Desert Marocain, or YSL M7.
Rochas Man has "gotten to me" at times as you put it. It is pretty smooth, I will admit, but after a couple of wears, I've had a little trouble with it. Au Masculin has a similar feel but does not make me queasy. I adore A*MEN. Zirh Ikon has a touch of gourmand sweetness to it that may work for both of you. That's my 2 cents.

Support your local Leonberger rescue.
Hanae Mori all the way. My favorite scent for colder days when I go to social outings.
I really recommend sampling MPG's Bois de Turquie. It smells a bit like cream soda, (bay leaf + cinnamon + vanilla and orris), and transitions into a sweet but slightly leathery orris heart, and then dries down to myrrh, vanilla, and a light incense. It's sweet throughout, but evolves wonderfully and actually has a fair bit of depth. Light enough for summer use, too.
It's not a full blown gourmand like A*Men or Rochas Man, but an interesting lighter interpretation of a gourmand/incense/spice frag. At first, it really does smell quite akin to cream soda (just not so effervescent - but instead smooth and a bit creamy) - so if your wife likes the smell of cream soda, this is a must try!

Two highly recommended gourmands:
Ayala Moriel's Immortelle L'Amour, a warm, rich vanilla touched with cinnamon and moderated with immortelle. Delicious but not overbearing.
Parfumerie Generale's Cedre Sandaraque, a warm, smooth cedar with amber and cotton candy. Sounds disgusting but is really quite smooth and well done! The cotton candy note is subtle.
I didn't care for Rochas Man, but a gorgeous friend of mine couldn't stop smelling my arm the rest of the night where i'd sampled it at a Sephora.
I used to despise Gourmands, but have changed my tune for the following:
1) Lolita Lempicka au Masculine - just so unique and different its a must-own. Licorice and vanilla.
2) JP Gauliter Le Male - despised this for years, but wore it yesterday on my skin for the first time ever and was blown away. On me it smelled like Dr. Pepper with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Got tons of compliments too from coworkers which proves my theory that most women love gourmands.
3) Jaipur - utter class with spice.
4) Kenzo Jungle l'Elephant - made for women, usable by anyone. Nothing smells like this spicy, vanilla chai romp through the forest. The cinnamon seems to literally sparkle off your skin for hours on end. My most complimented wear ever was the first time I wore this. It was unreal.(it is not a meek scent so apply lightly).
5) Dunhill Desire - cheap to buy but the combo of lime, vanilla and maybe apple smells synthetically fantastic. Gets alot of attention from men and women.
By the way, Desire doesn't seems to be a gourmand for me though.
Another vote for SL Douce Amere.
Yohji homme!
And I've just tried out a new gourmand scent- Ungaro's Apparition. Wonderful too though I'd not put it on the same list as the above two.
