For the crew of the USG Ishimura, this is how the horror begins: on a deep space mining mission to a remote planet, an ancient religious relic - thought to be proof of the existence of God - is unearthed and brought aboard. It is worshipped by some, scorned by others. But when the unholy artifact unleashes a long-dormant alien race, its glimpse of Heaven transforms the ship into a living Hell.
The chaos is immediate. The carnage is uncontrollable. And an onslaught unlike anything ever witnessed by mankind has now been set free to rip this world apart.

The loyalty of Ashbrook and Hunter Huss fans might be tested when the two Gastonia schools travel outside of Gaston County for Friday's Big South 3A Conference tournament boys title game against each other.
Ashbrook coach Chad Duncan, though, doesn't believe the 45-minute drive to Crest High School will deter fans of the longstanding rivalry.
"I hope not. I know our Zoo Crew will be there," Duncan said, referring to the school's lively student section.
Crest earned hosting rights as the top-seeded girls team. Because the boys and girls championship games are played on the same night, the site rotates between the No. 1 girls seed and No. 1 boys seed each season.
The girls title game between Forestview and Crest tips off at 6, followed by the Ashbrook-Hunter Huss boys game at 7:30.
-- List of previous Big South and Southern Piedmont tournament champions --
Anticipation for Friday's action is high enough that Ashbrook, Hunter Huss and Crest are selling advance tickets. Tickets are available at the front offices of those schools and cost $6 each.
"We had enough phone calls (Thursday) to show that the interest is there," Hunter Huss interim athletic director Steve Gardner said.
The interest stems not only from the rivalry itself but also an intensely competitive season series between Hunter Huss (20-3) and Ashbrook (18-7), which finished first and second, respectively, during the regular season. Each team won at home, with Ashbrook taking the first meeting 75-64 and Hunter Huss winning 72-67 this past Friday.
The Big South's outright regular-season championship was on the line for both teams last week. This time, Hunter Huss is going for its fourth straight tournament title while Ashbrook seeks its first since 2006.
"We know them like they know us. It's not like there's a whole lot of studying going on," Hunter Huss coach Walt Wallace said. "It'll be more like a pick-up game because they can't run what they want to and neither can we because everybody knows where they're going."
Senior forward Jaelan Kennedy (22.1 points, 6.1 rebounds), junior guard Kerrion Moore (16.1 points, 2.7 steals, 2.5 assists), senior forward Jerimiah Hunter (14.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.9 blocks) and junior guard O'Brian Curry (10.0 points, 4.0 rebounds) lead Hunter Huss.
Senior guards Antonio Blalock (12.3 points, 2.8 assists) and Delshon Leach (11.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.3 steals) and senior forward Grant Stafford (10.3 points, 6.0 rebounds) lead Ashbrook.
Girls title game
The girls championship game will also be a rubber match as Forestview and Crest each won at home by three points against the other.
Senior forward Bre Armstrong (18.8 points, 15.8 rebounds, 5.5 steals, 4.2 assists) and senior guard Lauren Smith (15.1 points, 3.9 steals, 3.6 assists) lead Forestview (19-6), which is going for a seventh straight tournament title.
Crest (18-3), playing in its second straight tournament championship game, is led by sophomore wing A'diyah Ussery (22.6 points, 7.1 rebounds) and Caleia Jones (15.0 points, 6.6 rebounds).
SPC finals
East Lincoln is host for Friday's Southern Piedmont 1A/2A Conference championships, starting with the girls game at 6:30 and followed by the boys at 8.
The girls game will pit the regular-season co-champions, Lincolnton (20-4) and Lake Norman Charter (20-4). The teams split the regular-season series, with Lincolnton winning 47-42 and Lake Norman Charter taking a 61-34 victory.
In the boys game, top-seeded Lake Norman Charter (20-4) will face second-seeded East Lincoln (19-6). East Lincoln won the first meeting 57-54 before Lake Norman Charter claimed the rematch, 58-49.

Comments about Topeak MTX Dual Side Frame MTX:
I already owned the Topeak rack and bag with fold down panniers. I purchased this side frame to keep the panniers from hitting the rear wheel during my commute to work. This frame is a great design. It is very easy to install with the included screws and fits the panniers perfectly. It is light enough that you won't even notice the added weight. Great solution to my problem.

Comments about Royal Racing Royal Esquire Short:
I had purchased these for use mainly on xc trails. I purchased the medium size and usually wear a 32-34 waist and these fit perfect. They have 2 velcro waist adjustments on either side if needed. They probably give you 1-2" of adjustment in the waist.Side pockets for your hands, a small zippered pocket for small items (license, money etc.)just enough storage in my opinion.
I would buy another pair of these shorts for next season if these wear out. Very comfortable, slide on and off your seat without hanging up in the crotch. just a well designd short.

Past Research
The internal structure of person portmanteaus
n this project we investigate the world-wide diversity and universal structure of person portmanteaus. Person portmanteaus are markers which bundle the expression of person for subject and object of a verbal predicate into a single morphological unit.
Although person portmanteaus implement a radically simple alternative to more familiar strategies of cross-referencing verbal arguments, they are cross-linguistically highly marked, and tend to be restricted to very specific combinations of subject and object. Person portmanteaus may therefore be regarded as a type of argument encoding sui generis as well as a litmus test for general properties of argument encoding in head-marking languages.
An important though somewhat paradox property of person portmanteaus is that they are not necessarily unanalyzable. Many such markers can be understood synchronically and/or diachronically as non-portmanteaus, either because they are formed by concatenation from two different person formatives, or because they are identical in form to non-portmanteau person markers.
Based on these observations, this project addresses the following closely related questions:
- Are there systematic restrictions on the location of portmanteaus in paradigms?
- To which extent are portmanteaus analyzable?
- What is the formal representation of portmanteaus?
- What is the extent and distribution of portmanteau microvariation within groups of closely related languages?
- How do portmanteaus develop historically (and how do they disappear)?
To answer these questions, we combine methods from typology, formal morphology, and historical reconstruction. Apart from constructing a cross-linguistic typological database for person portmanteaus to extract general properties, we focus on the behavior of portmanteaus in three small-scale language families (Nilotic, Iroquoian, and Uralic). For these languages we will provide in-depth formal analyses of the relevant person portmanteaus, investigate the range of microvariation in the families, and attempt to reconstruct the diachronic development of person portmanteaus on the background of the overall pronominal cross-referencing systems (based on the available descriptive literature). From the innovative combination of different methodologies to microvariation data, we expect a better understanding of person portmanteaus, and more generally of syncretism in cross-referencing systems for verbal arguments.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, Nov. 24, 7 pm (et).
FACTS & STATS: Site: Hughes Stadium (32,500) -- Fort Collins, Colorado. Television: ROOT Sports. Home Record: UNM 2-4, CSU 2-3. Away Record: UNM 2-4, CSU 0-5. Neutral Record: UNM 0-0, CSU 1-0. Conference Record: UNM 1-6, CSU 2-5. Series Record: Colorado State leads, 34-25.
GAME NOTES: The New Mexico Lobos try to close out the 2012 season with a victory as they clash with the Colorado State Rams in Mountain West Conference action at Hughes Stadium in Fort Collins on Saturday.
The Lobos, who haven't won a season finale since 2007, are also gunning for their fifth win of the campaign, which would give them their highest total since that same 2007 season.
Unfortunately, the Lobos have hit a series of snags since opening the 2012 campaign with a victory over Southern and four triumphs over the course of seven games. Last weekend, the team was dropped by Nevada at home in a 31-24 final, marking its fifth straight setback since winning back-to-back outings against Texas State and Hawaii.
As for the Rams, they too started off the season on a positive note with a 22-17 victory over Colorado in Denver, but there have been just two more wins after that. Last Saturday, taking on the Boise State Broncos on the road, Colorado State was crushed in a 42-14 final that wasn't even that close. The defeat was the second in the last three outings for a team that has league wins over Hawaii and UNLV, but is still tied for seventh in the standings.
CSU leads the all-time series between these two teams, one that began in 1935, by a count of 34-25. The Rams have won two straight and three of the last four, thanks to a 14-10 triumph last season in Albuquerque.
The Lobos currently lead the nation in time of possession (34:16), which should be a no-brainer given that the squad runs the ball almost exclusively. In fact, against the Wolf Pack last week the team attempted just two passes and missed on both of them, marking the first time in nearly 50 years that a New Mexico team has failed to complete at least one pass in a game.
Quarterback Cole Gautsche instead used his feet to try and keep the Lobos relevant, scoring twice on the ground in the first quarter. Kasey Carrier ran for 145 yards to give him 1,410 on the season and leave him 40 yards shy of the school�s single-season record of 1,450 by DonTrell Moore in 2003.
While the Lobos were rolling up 352 yards on the ground, the defense was allowing Nevada to produce close to 500 yards, so really there were few positives to take from that side of the ball.
New Mexico's defense on the season overall has been inconsistent at best, giving up 446.8 ypg and 30.8 ppg.
After last week the Lobos saw their passing average drop to 57.5 ypg which is by far the lowest in college football. The team has made a strong case for being the best running team in the nation with 314.9 ypg (currently fourth), but when there's never a threat of passing the ball and defenders are spending so much time on the field, it only makes sense that the Lobos excel in that area.
Against Boise State on the blue turf, the Rams were completely out of their comfort zone and it wasn't until the team trailed 42-0 in the third quarter that they finally woke up and tallied a pair of inconsequential TDs.
The first of those touchdowns came on a complete breakdown on the BSU offense, allowing Chris Nwoke to rumble 72 yards to the end zone, while the second stemmed from similar circumstances as Conner Smith hit Marquise Law with a 30- yard TD strike.
From a defensive standpoint, the Rams gave up more than 500 yards of offense to the Broncos, something BSU hadn't done in more than two months. Then again, giving up a lot of yards is not all that uncommon for Colorado State this season as the team permits 411.4 ypg which is sixth in the conference and 71st nationally. .
The quarterback position has pretty much been a disaster for the Rams this season, with the trio of Smith, M.J. McPeek and Garrett Grayson combining to complete 57.5 percent of their attempts for just over 200 ypg and a total of 15 TDs, against 14 INTs unfortunately.
Both of these teams started off fresh this season with new a head coach, Bob Davie with the Lobos and Jim McElwain at Colorado State, so there was bound to be more lows than highs, but considering some of the progress they've made 2013 should be a lot brighter.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: New Mexico 27, Colorado State 21

A True classic IMO.
VINTAGE FAHRENHEIT ("Burning red planet version"), by Christian Dior
I found an old bottle of vintage Fahrenheit "After Shave" in a store ("No one wants it, no one use aftershaves anymore..") and I bought it at very good price, because it was in a mint condition after so many years.
I am very fond to old Fahrenheit, it was one of the most famous perfumes in my school and university days, and it's still one of the best box ever created IMO, full of science-fiction rememberings...
What a memories!
Let's go and examine thoroughly this old gem!!
Vintage Fahrenheit is easily spotted because you can clearly see the "Red Planet" on the box, and the old letterings "Christian Dior", instead of "Dior" .Modern versions miss the "Red planet", sporting a generic red color.
NOTE: you can see the bar-code, this means "produced after 1996" (this is year 1997 bottle)
Ingredient list (brief and concise, still no restrictions/regulations at the time)
The opening
The internal brochure, in almost all the existent languages.
The bottom of the box
NOTE: the "After Shave" (or "Eau de Toilette") and "contents" are always in GOLDEN LETTERS; "Cristian Dior" always in white ones.
The beautiful "double surface" (dark red VS light red) of the Red Planet (it's a painting)
Note: the "Black part of the box" ...is not really black: it's a dark blue painting of the night sky!
Here's to you the famous "vintage bottle"
The Cap: upper part is ROUND, lower part is STRAIGHT
Screwing the cap.
Without the cap.
Bottom of the bottle (no address "avenue Hoch, etc.." is reported)
NOTE: the bottle is RED-ish in the upper part, YELLOW-ish in the lower part.
IMPORTANT: you can notice it only if the background is clear white
The word "Fahrenheit" is always EMBOSSED: you can feel it with your finger.
the words "Aftershave/Eau de toilette" on the contrary are CARVED in the box
Batch code on box and bottle should be the same:

Cool. Gret info.
I know where an indentical vintage version is displayed in a chemist's cabinet in south London. I haven't bought it because I think the modern version is just as good, if not better...
There were IFRA restrictions and guidelines when Fahrenheit was launched, it just wasn't obligatory to print them on the side of the bottle. When this fragrance was launched it contained more Methyl Octine Carbonate than IFRA recommended. I still don't know how IFF got away with it for so long.
Nice find! Congrats
Great find as I think the current one is wonderful and long lasting so I can only imagine how good the vintage is. Enjoy!
That was so well done it should be sticky'd.
From what I understand, if the box has an "e" symbol, usually next to where the amount is listed in ml, that means it is from early to mid 90s or later. If anyone knows if that estimate symbol came to be used by all companies during a particular year, please let us know.

thank you for posting and reminding us of a true classic.
Hi Andrè,
Today I bought my Fahrenheit Vintage After Shave, this stuff in wonderful!!
and now the family is complete...
ointments and perfume delight the heart....
This is a wonderfully informative post, and I can definitely feel the love you have for Fahrenheit . That said, I am not sure the printing is always embossed and engraved on the "burning-red-planet" boxes. I have two bottles of "vintage" Fahrenheit EDT: a 50ml and a 100ml. On the 50ml box, the printing is as you describe, but the 100ml box is adorned with just simple printing with no embossing/engraving. And I can find nothing on the 100ml box or bottle (whose batch codes match, by the way) to indicate the product is counterfeit.
One more thing -- isn't your bottle older than 1997? Are you dating it based on something other than the bar code? I have reason to believe that all boxes* have had bar codes on them from the earliest batches.
*10ml minis excepted, probably because they were not intended for sale.
Not enough pics
Well, I thought the batch code (100ml bottle) was white, but upon close inspection in good light with a magnifying glass, I see it actually silver. lol
And here are the 100ml and 50ml boxes together. The printing on the 50ml box is as you describe (embossed & engraved). But it has a bar code.
BTW this is a magazine from February 1995. How the bottle appeared, in that year.
Great post, I remember getting a Dior mini pack of fragrances a few years ago and I loved using Fahrenheit so much in the cold winters that I went out and purchased it.
A true classic.
Really sorry to read this.... http://www.basenotes.net/threads/364...lling-expert-(
Andre Moreau, That was great! Thank you so much for taking the time to photograph, label and post this for us, along with the history lessons.
I love Fahrenheit and will now need to start scouring sleepy, little drug stores for a good deal in its After-shave.

Usually I don't frequent the men's forum, but I saw the words 'vintage Fahrenheit' and couldn't resist. Sometime around 1990, I was shopping and saw a bottle at a men's cosmetic counter. I opened the cap, took a good sniff, and considered buying it for myself because it smelled so good.
Thanks for the thorough tutorial!
Regarding the barcode: I have one bottle from 1990 without a barcode, while another bottle from 1991 does have the barcode. So I assume that all boxes from 1991 onwards have barcodes.
Interesting. It really is getting too much to keep track of all the packaging oddities.
But 1999? In the original design bottle and box? *sigh* I am rapidly becoming a convert -- convinced by those who suggest it's best to simply wear the stuff and enjoy it. lol
My 50ml bottle has a batch code of 4440V... at least I know what's in that one!
By the way, two things are strange about your 100 ml bottle.
1. "Fahrenheit" on the box is not embossed - All other old style boxes I've seen have the letters embossed, only the newer boxes (those two from 2002 I have) have it only printed rather than embossed.
2. Your bottle seems to go yellow towards the bottom. I thought they had changed that design by 1999, because I have a 50 ml bottle from 1999 that is red all the way through.
I really can't explain this, but it doesn't really matter ...
Anyway, all perfumes (all brands) since 1950 should have a batch code printed/carved/painted somewhere.....
Anyway, remember to check the so-called "Green Dot Symbol" on the box. It was adopted through 1994-1996.
If it's missing, your bottle is surely 1988 to 1994
Last edited by Andrè Moreau; 1st May 2013 at 07:35 AM.
By the way, when did they start engraving the batch code into the bottom of the box instead of printing it onto the plastic wrap? The earliest box I have that has the batchcode engraved directly into the box is from 1997. In 1994 it was only printed on the plastic.
I remember when Fahrenheit was launched in the 80's it immidiately made me curious but after trying it to my skin, i immidiately realized this is not my cup of coffee. Don't like it nowadays a bit better. Yet i admit it's a well made fragrance and suits to some.

I just feel nostalgic viewing these pictures!
and of course regret not buying those precious bottles sooner when they were widely available...!
My all time favorite:
Dior Fahrenheit
again thanks Andre for your great efforts...
My all time favorite:
Dior Fahrenheit
Very informative stuff. I am trying to date my Fahrenheit (it is sealed so I have not looked at the bottle yet). I am thinking 1998 by the code but the only thing I am a bit confused by is ingredients. In Andre's post above it is a 1997 bottle but there is a list of ingredients. On my box it only has two ingredients. See photo's. Any idea's? Thanks
It's 1998. Clues are: 4 digits & by 1996/7, they had stopped printing the batch code on the cellophane.
Check here: http://www.jasonnewton.net/blog/?tag=dior
Just picked up a bottle of this myself and suspect it may be a vintage:
Batch code is 0F02 and the bottle states Eau De Toilette under the Fahrenheit and the lower brand is marked Christian Dior as opposed to just Dior.
Managed to buy a vintage bottle of the EdT on ebay. Looking forward. My brother used to wear it 20 years ago or s. I have always liked it when used with moderation. I do wear lots of male scents. This one will be difficult to pull off though. Not because it is so super masculine, but because it is so well known as a men's scent and easily recognizable.
Vintage Fahrenheit is just exquisite. I do wish it would be re-interpreted with better quality materials.
If you had the money would you buy this??!!
I love this thread, nice to see people's admiration of this classic.
Every time I walk into a small shop with some rarities I hope to myself that theres some vintage Fahrenheit laying around (including the aftershave). I've been eager to try to find something in the early 2000's and prior but haven't seen anything older than mid 2000's. Oh well, I'll stumble upon some one day as I'm a die hard Fahrenheit fan.
(I'd also love to find some of those mini vintage Fahrenheit bottles! They look awesome)
Also great guide by Andrè, its really taught me to know the distinctions between different reformulations.

EASLEY — One local group, Concerned Citizens for Pickens County, has initiated a petition to be presented to the state to remove the Pickens County School Board in its entirety.
The organization began the petition as a reaction to a recently released report from AdvancED which noted several areas of concern where the board's actions and operations are concerned.
"The potential loss of accreditation is a real issue here," said Heidi Roach, a concerned parent and member of Concerned Citizens for Pickens County. "The way the sale of the Old Gettys property is being handled is what motivated us into action."
The petition cites several issues with the board as reasons for the organization's move for the removal of its members.
According to the petition these include the indication the school district "is in jeopardy of losing accreditation due to governance issues including ethics, conflicts of interest, noncompliance with appropriate procedures and failure to promote the purpose of the school system," and "the board of trustees continues to demonstrate poor governance by refusing public input and failing to provide information regarding major decisions, such as the sale of school district property, despite repeated requests by concerned citizens from all sectors of the community for more information."
Not only does the petition cite the governance of the board as a portion of the petition's argument, it also addresses concerns as to district employees, citing "many district employees feel intimidated and have expressed a need for advocates to voice their concerns. Concerned citizens and business leaders anticipate further decline in morale and teacher retention, an immediate inability to recruit new business and a devastating loss of current business in Pickens County under the current school board leadership."
"This continued pattern of the board's inability to work together for the betterment of our children concerns all of our community. It's a growing concern," Roach said. "The board needs to prove they are making strides toward meeting the recommendations made by AdvancED and until they prove and we have accreditation, we're not going to stand and be quiet."
Efforts were made to contact all members of the Pickens County School Board for their reaction concerning the petition, but Vice Chairman Alex Saitta and board member Judy Edwards were the only ones to be reached for comment. Calls from the remaining board members were not returned as of deadline.
"Last time I was elected with 68 percent of the vote and I'm thankful for that," Saitta said in response to questions concerning the petition. "The other 32 percent would want me to retire, resign, or be removed. Such is the life of a public servant in today's political climate."
Edwards takes an entirely different view.
"I'll tell you like I told my daughter: sign it, then bring it to me and I'll sign it," Edwards said. "If removing the entire board is what it takes to point the district in the right direction, I'll resign if everyone else does. Over the last few years we haven't been fair to our kids and teachers and that has to change."
The petition not only affects the board but the district as well and the district administration has no opinion either for or against the petition.
"The administration doesn't have an opinion on it (the petition)," said John Eby with the district's public information office. "The board answers to the voters of the county and the administration will allow them to handle it. We have no position either way."
Though there has been a recommendation for re-accreditation of the School District of Pickens County, AdvancED, the company responsible for re-accreditation recommendations, has given until April for issues of board governance to be resolved.
"The board has to still address the issues from AdvanED's report by April," Eby explained. "If the issues in the report aren't fixed, in the short-term accreditation is still in jeopardy. It isn't like the board can do nothing and have it go away."
Ultimately what Concerned Citizens for Pickens County is asking for appears to be simple.
"More transparency," Roach said. "If we ask for something from our public, elected officials they need to provide it."
For any petition to be considered by the governor's office, there must be a minimum of 1,000 signatures affixed.

Functional programming is a style of programming that emphasizes the application of functions to solve computing problems. This is in contrast with imperative programming, which emphasizes changes in state and the execution of sequential commands. If you want use a functional-only programming language, you should consider something like Haskell. If however you like Groovy but want to apply some functional style magic, read on.
Functional Basics
Groovy's functions (like Java's) can be used to define functions which contain no imperative steps, e.g. a factorial function may look like:
In Groovy, we gain some slight syntactic sugar over Java in that we can leave out the
return statements.
We can of course start to mix and match functional and imperative coding styles:
Curry functions
You can also use curry functions as follows:
See reference 1 or Chapter 5 of GINA for further details.
Infinite structures
See reference 2 below for all the details, but to give you a flavour, first you must define some lazy list handling functions, then you can define and use infinite streams. Here is an example:

In his 17 seasons as an assistant at two different schools, Hall's teams have won eight regular-season championships and seven of his pitching staffs have been ranked nationally in ERA, including the top spot in the nation in 2007 (at 2.64). The 2011 squad finished 10th in the country with a 2.81 ERA, while allowing the sixth-fewest hits per nine innings (7.43) in the nation. A philosophy that is built on development and efficiency has consistently prepared pitching staffs to perform at extremely high levels.
The 2013 49ers staff posted its fourth season of a 3.50 earned run average or lower in his tenure with the 49ers. Strikeouts were up, walks were down and the pitching staff was key in the program's 37-win season, the team's sixth season of 35 or more wins in the last eight years. Charlotte also had its sixth First-Team All-Conference Pitcher in Hall's tenure, adding to three Second-Team selections, one Honorable Mention and six All-Rookie selections while the pitching mentor.
In 2007, Charlotte finished second in winning percentage. The team moved up four spots from their 2006 ranking to 52nd in strikeouts per nine innings. Two pitchers (Mills & Steedley) were ranked in the top 100 in strikeouts. He has coached ten all-conference pitchers, four all-Freshman pitchers, two pitchers of the year, three freshman All-Americans and one consensus All-American, Adam Mills. Mills was the ace of the 2007 staff. He led the country in wins (14) and ERA (1.01). For his accomplishments, Mills was also a Finalist for the Roger Clemens Award, A-10 Pitcher of the Year, Semi-Finalist for the Dick Howser Award and Semi-Finalist for the Golden Spikes Award. Fully 11 of Hall's 14 pitching staffs have improved their earned run average or runs per game allowed from the previous season. He has coached 22 pitchers that went on to sign professional contracts.
In the past 12 years with Charlotte, Hall has seen 14 Niners move to the professional level. Most recently, Ryan Butler was selected in the 2014 MLB Draft in the 7th Round by the San Diego Padres while Brock Hudgens became a 31st Round pick by the Milwaukee Brewers.
A reoccurring theme within these pitchers is their success at the next level. Erik Walker ('06) was named Baseball America's Short Season-A Relief Pitcher of the Year in 2006. Spencer Steedley and Derek McDaid were named Midwest League All-Stars in 2008. Steedley returned to All-Star form in the Florida State League the following summer of 2009. Adam Mills was named to the Boston Red Sox "Futures Game" and pitched in Fenway Park during the 2007 season. Andrew Smith earned a mid-season promotion in his first professional season and earned Cal League Pitcher of the Week to finish the 2012 season. All three seniors from the 2007 staff were given the chance to move into professional baseball (Mills - Boston, Steedley - Minnesota, Foard - New York Yankees).
The 2008 draft saw more success to the Niner pitching staff as junior Zach Rosenbaum was selected by the New York Mets.
Over the past 11 seasons, Hall has also worked with the Niner catchers. 2010 catcher Ross Steedley earned First-Team All-Atlantic 10 and All-Tournament Team honors. 2009 catcher Zane Williams was named an All-Atlantic 10 catcher in just his first year with the team. 2008 catcher Chris Taylor was named Co-Conference Player of the Year. In 2007, four-year starter Kris Rochelle was named All A-10 and was drafted by Detroit in the 22nd round, improving on his selection out of high school.
Catching for the Niners has been a daunting task because Hall asks them to handle the pitching staff defensively on top of their offensive duties. Both Rochelle and Taylor were able to handle most of the pitch calling responsibilities while Rochelle hit .404 (winning the league's batting title) in 2007 and Taylor hit .349 and led the league with 19 homers in 2008. Both Rochelle and Taylor were named by Rivals.com as Top Five catchers in the country at the conclusion of their season behind the dish. Steedley led the team with a .342 batting average in 2010, starting 40 of Charlotte's 59 games behind the plate. He caught a 49ers squad that led the league and finished 10th in the country with a 2.81 eraned run average.
Before joining the coaching staff at Charlotte, he spent four seasons as an assistant coach at his alma mater, UNC Wilmington, where he also worked with the pitchers.
In four years at UNCW, the pitching staff finished each season ranked among the top 30 nationally in team ERA, including a fourth-place finish in 2001 with a 3.20 ERA.
Hall also spent two summers on the coaching staff of the Wilson Tobs in the Coastal Plain League. In 2001, he served as the Tobs' manager and guided the team to a berth in the CPL Finals, coaching in the league's all-star game that summer.
The Raleigh, N.C., native was a two-year letterwinner as a pitcher at UNCW. He won seven games and had a 3.87 ERA in two seasons on the mound. He was twice elected president of the student-athlete advisory committee at UNCW, where he graduated in 1999 with a bachelor's degree in business marketing. Hall lives in Concord, N.C.

Astah was designed to be intuitive and lightweight, easy enough for a beginner yet robust enough to design complete systems
Astah promotes easier communication by offering free web publishing tools, and compatibility across operating systems

I looked and tested many UML tools, open-source and commercial. I don't need to look anymore, I found Astah.
My first experience with Astah was on the iPad. I instantly felt at home with the intuitive interface....The developers of Astah were also very responsive and gracious when I contacted them about the product. Overall, I couldn't be happier so far!
What surprised me was that creating sequence diagrams in Astah feels so "natural", especially the versatile message numbering. This convinced me to use Astah, which is now my UML tool of choice.
I'm very impressed with its ease of use and how this has carried into aides to keep diagrams tidy. Astah was great to quickly create needed UML for a new book project.
I have set Astah... as the standard modeling tool used for teaching at both the Queensland University of Technology and the University of Liverpool.

Tea for Two, not really my thing
Funny thing about La Nuit De L'Homme is if you look at its reviews on Fragrantica, it is probably the highest rated fragrance with such an enormous amount of reviews (over 1500 people have rated it). So it's tremendously successful. Personally, I never cared for it, and I'm wondering if I should revisit it given all the great ratings.
Tea for Two, not really my thing
1. Dior Homme Intense
2. Creed Aventus
3. Tom Ford Extreme
4. Gucci Pour Homme II
5. Terre d'Hermes

I agree with YSL La Nuit De L'Homme. I bought a bottle based on the hype and hated it. It just smells so synthetic to me. Never buying a fragrance based on hype ever again.
+1 on The Dream. Nothing unique about it; opening is terrible, dry down is only decent.
Creed Millesime Imperial - I'm afraid I just really don't get it...at all
GIT. But then again, so is Cool Water.
By far and away Knize ten.
Puredistance M. Ok it is good. But not THAT good.
-The Dreamer (current version) +1
- Egoiste +1

- Dolce & Gabbana: Pour Homme (vintage)
- Pal Zileri: Cuoio
- Loewe: Esencia/Pour Homme/Solo

- Revillon R
- MPG: Santal Noble
- Acqua di Parma: Colonia Intensa /Leather/Oud
- Knize Ten
- Annick Goutal: Ambre Fetiche
- YSL: Kouros (Fraicheur)
Diamondflame, you are absolutely right. I just happened to get a sniff at Puredistance M today, in NYC. It is good, but nothing that I would go out of my way to purchase and let alone, pay an enormous amount for. It is truly overrated big time.
one million. aqua di gio. bought these sorta before my "basenote days". but to the person that said pure malt, i just bought it haha. and i love the dreamer. another mans trash...
Pour Monsieur and Antaeus are both grossly overrated on here. They smell dated and just plain bad to me.
"I am a robot and I like cheese"
Top 5:
1. Axe Kilo
2. Lectric Shave
3. Vicks Vapor Rub
4. Febreze Pour Homme
5. Preferred Stock

I can't really add anything that I think is overrated, because really, that'd just be me saying I don't like it. I don't like Egoiste, but that doesn't mean it's overrated. It just means I don't enjoy it.
Anybody have a sample of Martin Margiela Untitled or Untitled L'Eau? I'm dying to smell these and I've got lots of great niche samples to swap!

Aventus, was so glad to obtain 10ml decant. Now I am just puzzled. Yet I love BdP.
Knize Ten, Yatagan and Musc Ravageur
I agree with your thoughts on Aqua di Gio, and would add Bois du Portugal, Millesime Imperial and Mugler's Cologne.
Addidas Victory League has more presence than any of them.
+5 or whatever on Knize 10. I'll add DHI, Rive Gauche and Guerlain Vetiver

To be honest, a lot of expensive niche fragrances. It's simple human psychology. People save up and splash a huge sum on an expensive bottle and then try to hype it as much as possible to garner more interest to justify the amount they spent (hoping also that more and more people want to get that fragrance but can't owing to availability and/or price).

I can completely agree.
I could live in that skanky amber cacoon that ambre sultan envelopes me in. I think serge lutens and sheldrake are amazing. Best perfume line that I have encountered in my short niche history. Like everyone else.....aventus, but I also don't think l artisan is all that. I've sampled nearly their whole line and haven't been interested in anything.....maybe patchouli patch. Everything duchefour make he puts cinnamon in or at least that's what it smells like to me. I just don't get the l'artisan hype.

Looking for a car seat that is easy to install? Did you know if you have a seat that is easier to install there is less of a chance that it will be installed incorrectly? The True Fit Convertible Car Seats have all been awarded high "ease of use" ratings from the National Highway Transportation Administration, NHTSA for short. What does that mean? That after reviewing our seats, our labels, and our instructions it was determined our seats were Easy To Use! The True Fit Rebound (model C670) was awarded Five Stars in both the rear and forward facing modes, the maximum awarded by NHTSA, and our True Fit (model C630) was awarded Four Stars in both the rear- and forward-facing positions. And new to the True Fit of highest-rated car seats is the True Fit Recline (model C650).
Why buy the True Fit convertible seat? Did you know that you can use our seat from 5 to 65 lbs, and during the entire time of use your child will be secured in a 5-point harness. And most Safety Advocates recommend keeping your child in a harness as long as possible! Advocates also recommend keeping your little one rear-facing for as long as possible. These seats have a removable headrest that really is easy to remove. One finger lifts the release and you are able to pull the headrest off until you need it, usually up to 22lbs. As your infant starts to grow, simply add the headrest back on and you are good to go in the rear-facing position up to 35lbs. And when your infant is ready to watch you drive (at 35 lbs or so) simply make sure that headrest is in place and turn your seat around. And remember, when your child does move to a forward facing position, (around 35 lbs), your child will still be using the 5-point harness.
The C650 model features smaller bottom rails and a flip foot on the bottom---flip it forward for rear-facing installation and flip it back with your move to the forward-facing installation. This seat is fully-lined with EPP foam and has deep side wings that really surround your child.
The First Years has added a center angle indicator in the front of our seat for use when installing in the rear-facing position. This new easy-to-read indicator will help you determine if you have installed your seat correctly. For your infant, it will indicate the advocate-recommended 45-degree angle for installation (without our headrest), and as you keep it rear-facing to 35lbs (with the headrest) you can check for the recommended 35 degree angle for installation.
The First Years has also moved both side LATCH attachments so they are easy to access when you are installing your seat and easy to secure when you remove the seat from your vehicle.

JON CARDINELLI and RYAN VREDE analyse the key match-ups and pick the winners at the weekend.
JC and Vrede called all of last week's results correctly, and there's a strong feeling at keo.co.za HQ that another full house is on the cards.
Both writers are expecting the Bulls, Sharks and Stormers to pick up wins and qualify for the play-offs. JC reckons the Chiefs should win the league by hammering the Hurricanes on Friday, a result that won't please the Stormers, but won't stop the Cape side from advancing. Vrede thinks the Chiefs will win in Wellington, but without a bonus point, and that will allow the Stormers to seize an opportunity against the Rebels and top the league.
The Sharks and Bulls will be under pressure to bank bonus-point wins in their respective matches after the Reds whip the Waratahs in Brisbane. The play-offs will only start next week, but this round could almost be likened to the Fifa World Cup's Round of 16. It's do or die, and we're expecting the Bulls and Sharks to do the necessary and join the Stormers in the play-offs.
HURRICANES vs CHIEFS, WELLINGTON, FRIDAY 09:35
VREDE'S CALL: The Hurricanes need to win to keep hope of participation in the play-offs alive. The Chiefs need to hold the Stormers at bay and book an easier route to a final. The match clearly doesn't lack for incentive for either side, but the Chiefs' all-round superiority will reflect in the result. Their success has been built on their pack's potency. The heavies were outplayed against the Crusaders again last week, but the Canes don't have the calibre of forwards to test the Chiefs (in general play or at scrum time) in the manner they were tested in Hamilton. This will lend the Chiefs attacking impetus, with their back division allowed space and time to plot the Canes' demise. Defensively I suspect the Chiefs' dominance of the gainline will ultimately force the Canes into expansive, cavalier attacks that will be terminal to their cause and season. Chiefs by 10
JC'S CALL: The Hurricanes are a competitive side, but for every steal and game breaking play there is an instance of indiscipline or sloppy defence. The Hurricanes' desperation to score a bonus-point win should play into the Chiefs' hands. The Chiefs boast the second-best defensive record in the competition and are especially dangerous from turnover ball. Expect them to play a more structured, territorial game and feed off the Hurricanes' mistakes. Unfortunately for the Stormers, I feel the Chiefs will secure the five points from this fixture and win the league. The Hurricanes may score some tries, but they won't do enough to win or get a consolation bonus point. Chiefs by 9
Hurricanes – 15 Andre Taylor, 15 Cory Jane/Alapati Leiua, 13 Conrad Smith (c), 12 Tim Bateman, 11 Julian Savea, 10 Beauden Barrett, 9 Chris Eaton/Frae Wilson, 8 Victor Vito, 7 Jack Lam, 6 Faifili Levave, 5 Jason Eaton, 4 Jeremy Thrush, 3 Ben May, 2 Dane Coles, 1 Reggie Goodes.

Subs: 16 Mahonri Schwalger, 17 Sona Taumalolo, 18 Michael Fitzgerald, 19 Sam Cane, 20 Brendon Leonard, 21 Asaeli Tikoirotuma, 22 Tim Nanai-Williams.
BRUMBIES vs BLUES, CANBERRA, SATURDAY 07:35
VREDE'S CALL: The Brumbies only need a point to capture the Australian conference but will be eyeing the bonus point and the Stormers in second, hoping the Cape franchise somehow blow it against the Rebels. Their structured, accurate and powerful forward play will be the root of their success against a Blues side that's already mentally on holiday. Their multi-phase approach has depleted much better defensive units than the Blues, and they will again lay the platform for their talented backs to exploit the Blues' numerous defensive vulnerabilities. Brumbies by 10
JC'S CALL: There isn't much incentive for the Brumbies to alter their approach and push for a four-try bonus point. The Stormers are likely to beat a weakened and rudderless Rebels side in Cape Town, and so what the Brumbies rather need to focus on is a win that will keep the Reds at arm's length. They have the forwards and the general at No 9 to ensure their game plan is successfully implemented, and will want to keep the game tight to prevent some of the dangerous Blues individuals from getting into the contest. Expect another ugly but effective performance by Jake White's men. Brumbies by 11
Brumbies – 15 Jesse Mogg, 14 Henry Speight, 13 Andrew Smith, 12 Pat McCabe, 11 Joe Tomane, 10 Zack Holmes, 9 Nic White, 8 Ben Mowen (c), 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Peter Kimlin, 5 Sam Carter, 4 Scott Fardy, 3 Dan Palmer, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 Ben Alexander.

Subs: 16 Tom McCartney, 17 Tevita Mailau, 18 Andrew Van der Heijden, 19 Peter Saili, 20 Alby Mathewson, 21 Orene Ai'i, 22 Sherwin Stowers.
CRUSADERS vs WESTERN FORCE, CHRISTCHURCH, SATURDAY 09:35
VREDE'S CALL: The Crusaders showed their class in defeating the Chiefs last week in a match they had to win to control their own play-off destiny. They cannot win the New Zealand conference but can still finish fourth, which would secure them a home tie, probably against the Bulls – a match they would be favourites to win. They are one of the few teams in the tournament you would back to win a semi-final on the road. In light of this, the benefits of finishing fourth are self-evident. They'll beat the Force comfortably, building that result on an intelligent kicking game in their half and a blend of grunt and industry through their forwards and panache in the backline. Crusaders by 15
JC'S CALL: The Force are without David Pocock and this will limit their success at the breakdown. An injury to Kieran Read has forced the Crusaders to pick Richie McCaw and Matt Todd in the back row, and while this could impact on their gainline ambitions it will ensure that they are well equipped to win the game on the ground. It isn't the most intimidating starting pack, with the unimpressive Tom Donnelly named in the second row, but the Crusaders do have some class on the bench to ensure they finish strongly. The performances of their halfbacks as well as that of Israel Dagg will be important as far as their kicking game is concerned, and in this regard the Force will struggle to compete. Crusaders by 10
Crusaders – 15 Israel Dagg, 14 Sean Maitland, 13 Adam Whitelock, 12 Ryan Crotty, 11 Zac Guildford, 10 Dan Carter, 9 Andy Ellis, 8 Richie McCaw (c), 7 Matt Todd, 6 George Whitelock, 5 Tom Donnelly, 4 Luke Romano, 3 Owen Franks, 2 Corey Flynn, 1 Ben Franks.

Subs: 16 Ben Whittaker, 17 Ruan Smith, 18 Pek Cowan, 19 Ollie Atkins, 20 Josh Holmes, 21 Kyle Godwin, 22 Will Tupou.
REDS vs WARATAHS, BRISBANE, SATURDAY 11:40
VREDE'S CALL: The defending champions have no alternative but to bank a bonus point win and hope that one of the minnows does them a favour at some stage in the day. They should achieve the former, with Will Genia and Quade Cooper controlling territory with their boots, and forcing the Tahs into risky 22m exits. From there they'll back their defence to pressure the Tahs into errors and launch strikes from broken field or keep the board ticking over via Mike Harris' boot. The Tahs have gifted backs, but their forwards' inability to impose themselves will mean they won't have the platform to exhibit their skills fully. Reds by 10
JC'S CALL: Not that Wycliff Palu has been particularly good this season, but his injury has forced a few telling changes to the Waratahs pack. There's not much balance or continuity in that side, not much confidence and quite frankly not enough of a reason to win. The Reds have hit form late in the season and will have Digby Ioane and Liam Gill available for this match. Traditionally, this is tight fixture but I expect the Reds forwards will be too powerful and clinical at the tackle point and the backs will use that platform to win territory and score tries. This result will certainly spice up the later fixtures as the Sharks and perhaps the Bulls will need a bonus-point win to deny the Reds a play-off place. Reds by 13
Reds – 15 Luke Morahan, 14 Dom Shipperley, 13 Anthony Faingaa, 12 Mike Harris, 11 Digby Ioane, 10 Quade Cooper, 9 Will Genia (c), 8 Scott Higginbotham, 7 Liam Gill, 6 Jake Schatz, 5 Adam Wallace-Harrison, 4 Rob Simmons, 3 James Slipper, 2 Saia Faingaa, 1 Greg Holmes.
Subs: 16 James Hanson, 17 Ben Daley, 18 Radike Samo, 19 Beau Robinson, 20 Jarrad Butler, 21 Ben Lucas, 22 Ben Tapuai.
Waratahs – 15 Adam Ashley-Cooper, 14 Lachie Turner, 13 Rob Horne, 12 Berrick Barnes, 11 Drew Mitchell, 10 Bernard Foley, 9 Grayson Hart, 8 Dave Dennis, 7 Chris Alcock, 6 Dean Mumm, 5 Kane Douglas, 4 Sitaleki Timani, 3 Paddy Ryan, 2 Tatafu Polota-Nau, 1 Benn Robinson (c).
Subs: 16 John Ulugia, 17 Jeremy Tilse, 18 Lopeti Timani, 19 Jono Jenkins, 20 Brendan McKibbin, 21 Tom Carter, 22 Tom Kingston.
STORMERS vs REBELS, CAPE TOWN, SATURDAY 15:00
VREDE'S CALL: By kick-off the Stormers will know exactly what they require to top the log. They will be cheering for the Canes earlier in the day, hoping they beat the Chiefs or restrict them to four points in defeat. The latter scenario is more likely and if ever the Stormers had a better motivator to escape their attacking mediocrity this will be it. The Rebels don't have the game breakers of tactical intelligence to trouble them on attack. They'll be blunted at the gainline and systematically forced deeper and deeper into their territory. The Stormers have built their victories on penalty-inducing pressure and Peter Grant's goal kicking but they will have to find an attacking dimension that has been sorely lacking if they hope to take the full haul of points they so desperately need. The players are certainly there, but they have to deliver in this the most crucial of matches. It is the responsibility of the forwards to give them the best possible launchpad, and you have to think that against the powder-puff Rebels pack they will do so. Stormers by 15
JC'S CALL: The Rebels are not to be underestimated. Ask the Crusaders, who suffered an embarrassing defeat to the Melbourne franchise earlier in the season. I don't think there's any point talking about a bonus point, as the Chiefs should secure top spot following their match against the Hurricanes. The Stormers will stick to script, building the pressure and taking any points on offer in the first half. There is a chance that it will rain on Saturday, so it is probably not the best time to play expansively when the game is still in the balance. Once they have built a decent lead, they may cut loose in the second half when that notorious Rebels defence begins to tire. Stormers by 12
Stormers – 15 Joe Pietersen, 14 Gio Aplon, 13 Juan de Jongh, 12 Jean de Villiers (c), 11 Bryan Habana, 10 Peter Grant, 9 Dewaldt Duvenage, 8 Deon Fourie, 7 Rynhardt Elstadt, 6 Siya Kolisi, 5 Andries Bekker, 4 De Kock Steenkamp, 3 Frans Malherbe, 2 Tiaan Liebenberg, 1 Steven Kitshoff.

Rebels – 15 Julian Huxley, 14 Mark Gerrard, 13 Mitch Inman, 12 Stirling Mortlock (c), 11 Cooper Vuna/Lachlan Mitchell, 10 James Hilgendorf, 9 Nick Phipps, 8 Gareth Delve, 7 Hugh Perret, 6 Tim Davidson, 5 Hugh Pyle, 4 Cadeyrn Neville, 3 Jono Owen, 2 Ged Robinson, 1 Rodney Blake.
Subs: 16 Luke Holmes, 17 Paul Alo-Emile, 18 Al Campbell, 19 Ryan Hodson, 20 Nic Stirzaker, 21 Cooper Vuna/Lachlan Mitchell, 22 Richard Kingi.
SHARKS vs CHEETAHS, DURBAN, SATURDAY 17:05
VREDE'S CALL: The Sharks' victory over the Bulls last weekend was their best performance of the season, but the Sharks' campaign has been marred by inconsistency. However, you sense they are peaking at the right time and they should be too strong for the Cheetahs. Expect Bismarck du Plessis, Ryan Kankowski, Beast Mtawarira, Keegan Daniel and later Willem Alberts, to be prominent with ball-in-hand, gradually wearing down the Cheetahs' resistance. The backline, bolstered by Pat Lambie's return and displaying an added dimension with Frans Steyn at inside centre, will be too good for one of the weakest defences in the tournament. Provided they don't get too loose in their approach (thereby granting Heinrich Brussow and co chances at stealing or stifling the ball) the Sharks will get the bonus-point that will probably see them through to the play-offs.

JC'S CALL: The Sharks need to replicate their performance of last week, simple as that. They will, in all likelihood, go into this match needing five log points, but they mustn't let this lead to a more frantic approach. The back row was outstanding last week, and will need to win the battle at the gainline once again. It will be a big game for Craig Burden as he fills in for the irrepressible Bismarck du Plessis, but he also has the potential to be dominant in contact and boasts a unique turn of speed. The Sharks need a strong first half, and they need to be clinical in taking points on offer and building a big lead. In the second stanza when the Cheetahs are less direct and more expansive, there will be more opportunities to score from turnover ball. Sharks by 14

BULLS vs LIONS, PRETORIA, SATURDAY 19:10
VREDE'S CALL: There has been so much talk of this Gauteng derby being close. On what basis? The Lions are by some distance the weakest team in the South African conference and one of the weakest in the tournament. If the Bulls lose this one it must be considered their worst result in recent years. They won't. The Lions don't have the personnel or appetite for a forward brawl and will look to attack in the wide channels at most opportunities. This will play into the Bulls' hands. The Pretoria franchise have been as adept at crafting their own scoring chances as they have been at capitalising on their opponents' errors and their victory in this fixture will hopefully see the third South African franchise enter the top six. Bulls by 15
JC'S CALL: Like the Sharks, the Bulls will need to produce a special performance to advance to the play-offs. And like the Sharks, they will be fortunate enough to play at home against one of the weaker defensive sides in the competition. The Lions so nearly blew it last week, and their inability to play for 80 minutes will cost them in this their final game (of the season? for the next couple of years?). The Bulls will need to lift their efforts at the breakdowns and collisions, as these were areas where they were clearly outplayed in last week's battle with the Sharks. The Lions aren't a good side, but the Bulls would be foolish to expect an easy ride. The Lions will try to spoil and force the Bulls to play as loose as possible. The Bulls must ensure they stick to their game plan and execute efficiently. It's time for the forwards and the halfbacks to step up in this regard. Bulls by 12
