ROBIN THICKE and PAULA PATTON have split after over eight years of marriage. They released a statement saying that they've, quote, "mutually decided to separate at this time." Meanwhile, the woman Robin groped last year says she'd be interested in seeing him again now that he's available.
Want a celebrity at your next party? Well, if you're looking for a star who's a little more happening, then you can expect to PAY. Here are 10 Ridiculous Celebrity Appearance Fees . . .
Kim Kardashian commands about $50,000 per appearance. And when she turned 30 back in 2010, she reportedly made $500,000 from various clubs over the course of a week.
In 2007, a Las Vegas nightclub paid Lindsay Lohan $350,000 to celebrate her 21st birthday there. She never cashed that paycheck, though, because she went to rehab instead.
He may have had to lower his asking price in recent years, but at the height of his popularity, Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino from "Jersey Shore" was getting $50,000.
Cher can be had for a mere $1.5 million.
Mariah Carey was once paid $1 million to perform four songs at an event.
Elton John demands a minimum of $1.5 million to $2 million. Aerosmith is in that same range.
Jay Z can command anywhere from $1 million to $1.5 million per appearance. Beyoncé once got $2 million for a private New Year's Eve party.
Christina Aguilera once got $1 million to perform for ONE HOUR at a Halloween party. That's almost $17,000 PER MINUTE.
And finally, if you're on a tight budget and literally ANY celebrity will do . . . Vanilla Ice will show up for 15-grand.
Amanda Bynes has avoided jail time in her DUI case. If you recall, Amanda was arrested for DUI in Los Angeles in April 2012. She pleaded no contest to a lesser alcohol-related offense and will be placed on three years probation, pay various fines and must attend a three-month alcohol education course.
2/24/14 Beiber Rejects Plea Deal

KATY PERRY showed up for the MILEY CYRUS gig in Los Angeles on Saturday night . . . and Miley called her up to the edge of the stage for a lip lock. Ironically, it seemed to be Katy who was a little uncomfortable with the girl-on-girl kiss. It looked like Miley was trying to bury some tongue in Katy's mouth, but Katy pulled away.
According to the British tabloids, MILEY CYRUS had this to say recently . . . quote, "I don't understand what most girls are wearing today. I find it boring. "Why don't younger children try to be more risqué. I like it when you find a style that can be your own personal style."
The "New York Post" says SNOOKI is pregnant again. She's supposedly a few months along, but wasn't saying anything because it might torpedo some appearances she had lined up. Snooki already has a one-year-old son named Lorenzo with her fiancé Jionni LaValle.
Because one Bieber on the charts isn't enough: JUSTIN BIEBER'S mom PATTI MALLETTE is a singer now. We don't know if she actually wants a CAREER . . . but Justin posted a quick video of his mom at the microphone, with the caption, quote, "Got my moms courage enough to get in the booth for the first time. She sounds so good."
Justin Bieber has rejected a plea deal in his Miami Beach DUI case because he doesn't want random drug testing, TMZ reports. The gossip blog says authorities would drop the DUI and resisting arrest charges, in exchange for Justin pleading no contest to reckless driving. But he would have been required to complete 40 hours of community service, attend alcohol education classes, install an ignition interlock device for three months, and submit to random drug testing for between six and nine months. Justin reportedly said no to the drug testing. TMZ says it's because the star has a problem with weed and sizzurp.
2/19/21 Miley's Tour Being Cancelled?

Wednesday, February 19, 2014
Yesterday, we heard "sources" say that CHARLIE SHEEN will get a prenup before marrying porno minx BRETT ROSSI. But that's NOT the case. Charlie says, quote, "Prenups poison marriages." Charlie says they're going into it with this simple agreement . . . quote, "You keep your [crap] and I'll keep mine."
VH1 is developing an absurd reality show called "Naked Dating", which is exactly what it sounds like. Each episode has a man and a woman dating two different people . . . and they're all nude. There's no word on a host yet . . . and there's no premiere date either.
Miley Cyrus' Bangerz tour has been a bit controversial and too raunchy for some people. Parents who have taken their children to see Miley aren't pleased at all and some are trying to have the tour cancelled. MusicFix reports that Miley's management team has been getting a ton of complaints saying that she has taken it too far in her performance. Her management team has all been called in for an emergency meeting because of the amount of people who want to pull she show. So far, Miley has been on stage in a revealing body suit covered in marijuana leaves, riding a hot dog, pretending to give oral sex to a man in a Bill Clinton mask, basically pleasuring herself on top of a car and of course, twerking.
2/18/14 Selena Gomez Boozing

Tuesday, February 18, 2014
MILEY CYRUS just added another nasty move to her arsenal. During her show in Tacoma, Washington on Sunday, someone threw a thong onstage. So Miley picked it up, wrapped it around her microphone and PUT IT IN HER MOUTH.
MARC ANTHONY isn't just friends with his ex-wife JENNIFER LOPEZ . . . he's also friends with her boyfriend CASPER SMART. On "The Wendy Williams Show" yesterday, Marc said, quote, "It's great. As a matter of fact, we were texting back and forth two days ago. We're actually really, really good friends. From the very beginning."
Charlie Sheen is about to be married for the fourth time -- and this time he will have a prenup. Charlie got engaged to porn star Brett Rossi in Hawaii over the weekend and he has an estimated net worth of $125 million and sources say he will definitely get a prenup before they walk down the aisle... just in case.
Lindsay Lohan has been keeping out of trouble -- but we can't say the same for her family. Michael Lohan's girlfriend is accusing Lindsay's dad of threatened her with a knife and trying to take away their infant son. Kate Major went on Twitter Monday night to blast the elder Lohan, writing that she had to lock herself and their one-year-old son Landon in a bedroom while Michael tried to break down the door. He claims Kate's been drinking and tried tried to kill herself over the weekend. He tells TMZ he's worried about the welfare of their child and says he'll attempt to get custody if she doesn't get help.
Has Selena Gomez fallen off the wagon? Just weeks after leaving rehab, Selena is reportedly "hitting the bottle hard." She posted a photo of herself drinking a cocktail and TMZ proclaimed that she has "proudly re-embraced alcohol." She reportedly checked into rehab last month to help her kick booze, pot and Ambien. She bailed two weeks into the 45-day program to go to the Sundance film festival and didn't return because she insisted she was cured.

KANYE WEST surprised KIM KARDASHIAN with 1,000 red roses on Valentine's Day. She even posted a picture of herself surrounded by some of them. But if Kanye was trying to show off, he failed miserably. Because he got SERIOUSLY upstaged by JASON DERULO . . . who gave his girlfriend JORDIN SPARKS TEN TIMES AS MANY. Jason sent 10,000 roses to Jordin's suite at the Redbury Hotel in Hollywood on Friday.
CHRISTINA AGUILERA and her boyfriend Matt Rutler are engaged. On Friday, Christina posted a picture of the ring on her finger, along with the caption, quote, "He asked and I said . . ."
CHARLIE SHEEN has made yet another brilliant life decision. He and former porno star BRETT ROSSI are getting married. Charlie proposed on Saturday, after flying her to Hawaii on a private jet. She says, quote, "He even was a gentleman and got down on one knee. I was not expecting it at all. This is the happiest moment of both our lives. He's my best friend and my soulmate."

Andre Pretorius accepts that he will have to prove to the South African rugby fraternity that he is capable of turning it on at the World Cup.
Pretorius, who hasn't played since May 5 due to injury, was unveiled as Jake White's back-up flyhalf when the squad was announced in Cape Town on Saturday despite still nursing an injury.
The official prognosis for the Lions flyhalf is a high hamstring tendinopathy [inflammation and tearing], for which he'll receive treatment in Germany for five days starting July 30.
"The objective is to be absolutely pain free. At the moment I can swim, cycle and jog, but sprinting is not possible and I haven't tried to kick yet," Pretorius told Keo.co.za.
"I'm banking on the fact that Müller Wohlfhart will be able to sort me out because I'm really keen to get out on the field again."
Speaking at the squad announcement White was adamant that Pretorius' experience and skill made him a logical choice, and insisted that he would give the flyhalf as long as possible to prove his fitness.
If his German mission proves successful Pretorius will have a possible 240 minutes of rugby [against Namibia, August 15, Connacht (Ireland, August 21 and Scotland, August 25] before jetting to France. White however said he was viewing those Tests as preparation for their pool clash with England and would therefore select a full-strength side, meaning Butch James is likely to start.
There have been questions around the wisdom in throwing Pretorius into the World Cup relatively cold [injury meant he also played just 540 minutes of a possible 1040 minutes in the Super 14]. Pretorius acknowledged that those were legitimate concerns.
"The remarks questioning my readiness for the World Cup are valid, I can't argue with them," he said.
"But I didn't select myself, so from that point of view I can't excuse my selection. I just have have to take my chance when it comes and try to find some sort of form before and in the early games if the tournament."
The circumstances surrounding Pretorius' selection virtually mimicked those that preceded the 2003 squad announcement. He was deemed unfit at the time of the announcement but would have recovered to start the World Cup. Rudolf Straeuli initially included him, then changed his mind with Derick Hougaard the beneficiary.
"It's like deja vu," Pretorius said with an incredulous smile. "It's just that this time I actually made the squad when at one stage it actually looked like history was going to repeat itself.
"That was great news because I really feel that one a better player than I was in 2003. Experience obviously helps in terms of making the split-second decisions that flyhalfs are forced to make at Test level."
Asked whether he would be content to just sit back and play second fiddle to James, or whether ousting the Sharks man was at the top of his agenda, Pretorius stressed the team above individual ambition.
"I don't see why there has to be the continual comparison between myself and Butch. I've come to terms with the fact that he is the first-choice 10 and that's fine because he is a quality player," Pretorius said.
"This is a 30-man squad and Jake will play me when he sees fit. Whether that is a an impact player or if I start doesn't really matter because ultimately we [James and himself] are working towards a common purpose."

Written by Curt Popejoy on 02/18/2010
Before I get too far into this, let me explain my stance on the NFL Scouting Combine. For me personally I only use it to gauge players I haven't gotten to see play. Nothing gets me more than draft sites that list players and rank them knowing full well they've never seen many of them play. I get emails after the draft every season asking me why I didn't have this player or that player ranked and they were drafted. Because I am honest. I don't feel right ranking players I haven't scouted myself. If you are going to base your rankings on other people's work, at least give them credit you hacks.
Ok, rant over. What the combine does for prospects is, it gives them a chance to get up close and personal with every NFL team and their scouting departments and there is no doubt in the eyes of NFL teams these drills and tests have value and that's really all that matters. Players will spend a week getting poked and prodded and measured and put through physical drills and psychological/medical evaluations and it all centers around either cementing their draft stock, improving it, or trying not to lose ground.
The Combine has always done more for the players who may not be elite prospects than it ever does for the real top of the draft. Those guys are a given, right? Not so much. Well, I say that, but short of a total meltdown, the first round guys are in good shape regardless of their Combine. Hell even a total meltdown might not cost a top prospect. Look at Andre Smith last year, and he still finished up a top 10 draft pick. But this year, things are different.
Massive Nebraska defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh has been the draft buzz since the Big 12 title game when the rest of the world got to see just how amazing a player he is. For most, he became the consensus no.1 player and therefore anointed the top pick in the draft to the St. Louis Rams. Not a bad deal, right? So, if this is the case, then why is it that Suh's agent Roosevelt Barnes has come out and said that Suh plans to participate fully in drills at the Combine? I have read a few comments around the internet in the past day or so that have made me really laugh. All about what a mistake Suh is making by working out, and he has nothing to gain from it. To me, that's just nonsense. And here's why.
First, the Rams are a team in need of many positions and already have two high first round picks on their defensive linemen and how's that working out for them? The Rams have already declared their need for a quarterback by indicating they may try and trade for a veteran QB, so you cannot rule out them drafting one no.1 overall. Suh and his agent understand that and they understand how rare it is for an interior defensive lineman to be drafted no.1 overall. Suh is still trying to sell himself because clearly the Rams have not given him the impression they are sold on him.
Second is Todd McShay. McShay has come out publicly and indicated he considers Oklahoma defensive tackle Gerald McCoy a better prospect and should be drafted ahead of Suh. Like him or hate him, McShay's work has some pull among the NFL. And I am confident that when his mock draft came out and McCoy was planted at no.1 overall to the Rams, Suh and his agent took notice. Assuming McCoy is working out at the combine, Suh wants to show him up in the only side by side comparison teams will get. Personally, I have watched every game both of these guys have played and while I think McCoy is a great player, I put Suh ahead in several aspects of his game.
Finally, it's the trade factor. If the Rams aren't sold on drafting Suh, and chose to go with a quarterback, that doesn't change just how valuable a player Suh can be for many teams. And it's rare in the NFL draft that there is a player like Suh, who teams are so enamored with. Because of this, even if he can't go no.1 overall to the Rams, he could make himself so indispensable that some team feels they have to trade up for him, and he still goes no.1 overall.
This combine is vital for Suh, assuming that he wants to quiet his critics and affirm his supporters that he is clearly the best prospect in this draft. I fully expect Suh to be in the spotlight the entire week and the NFL Network is going to beat us over the head with him. But I also expect Suh to have a great workout. He's going to interview and test out really well and while I don't expect him to be some sort of off the charts triangle guy, he'll impress with his athleticism and power. What will all of that mean? It's hard to say, but I understand why Suh feels like he has to do this, and I applaud him for not being satisfied with staying put and wanting to cement his draft position. More players could learn from him. If you are great, you can show it anytime and anywhere.

That's no lopsided match up. Neverminding that many people assumed we'd have a certain max contract playing this year.
A reasonably healthy season all around? Hell yeah we're a fringe playoff team. Even now this season is hardly set in stone. Can't be understated how 7 of the 12 people on this squad are brand new to the team. And four of THOSE are rookies. For them all to learn how to play D together will be a trial by fire. But I'd bank money, if I had any, that we'll be back to our strong defending ways before long.
And my gut tells me Demps ain't done wheelin' and dealin', either. So a lot of things are in flux.

MiP because it is BB perfected.
Which do you prefer and why?
MiP because it is BB perfected.
Current favorites_____Black Tourmaline_____Gucci Pour Homme II_____Memoir Man_____Tuscan Leather______Montale Aoud and Pine_____Sel Marin_____Invasion Barbare_____Tonka Imperial____Dior Homme Intense_____L'Humaniste____Santal 33_____Bois d'Argent_____Nio_____MFK Oud_____Lumiere Noire_____Bois d'Encens_____Cuir Ottoman
Bulgari Black. More interesting, less expensive and ultimately far more satisfying. MIP is ok but, doesnt beat Black.
Black just because it came first.
Discover my Guest Reviewer Of The Day here
MIP. It has a little of BB in it plus a little more from start to finish!
Midnight in Paris - much better formulated IMO.
There is a kind of a tradeoff here. BB is more original and edgy, but MiP is much more refined and better constructed IMO
First come, first love..
Rubber is an added bonus; love that smell of new tires!
On Sillage:
If someone can smell me at more than an arm's length away, I'm probably wearing too much of whatever I applied; if she can distinctly make out the top notes, then perhaps I left the house a bit too soon..
On icebreaker:
I tend to compliment people on their frags to make short talks rather than anything more meaningful.
¿Si o No?
Black, because I think it smells better and I find it much more wearable...
Current Top Favorites:
1) Portrait of a Lady original formula (EdP Frédéric Malle)
2) Giorgio for Men vintage/V.I.P. for Men (Giorgio Beverly Hills)
3) Dia Man vintage edt (Amouage)
4) Anat Fritz Original Formula and Classical (Anat Fritz) - tie
4) Lalfeorosa (O'driù) - tie
6) Les Nombres d'Or Vetyver (Mona di Orio)
7) Captain vintage (Molyneux)
8) Tzora (Anat Fritz)
9) Javanese Patchouli (Zegna) - tie
9) Monsieur de Givenchy vintage (Givenchy) - tie
9) Coeur de Vetiver Sacré (L'Artisan) - tie
9) X for Men (Clive Christian) - tie
9) Patou pour Homme Privé (Jean Patou) - tie
9) Oud Shamash (The Different Company) - tie
I've spent a HUGE amount of time with both and can definitely say they're different enough to justify owning both. MiP is my evening out scent or even works well with a suit. BB is my jeans and sneakers scent I mostly use for casual/daytime situations. Both are very active in my rotation especially in the colder weather now.
I wear BB in the spring and summer and MiP EDP in the fall and winter.
Midnight In Paris, edp, all the way.
- - - Updated - - -
Midnight In Paris, edp, all the way.
The tea note in BB is better
MIP lasts longer on my skin.
My current top ten:
1. Spice and Wood
2. Tonka Imperiale
3. Dior Homme
4. Pure Malt
5. Oud Wood
6. Ambre Nuit
7. L'air Du Desert Marocain
8. Noir de Noir
9. Apple Brandy
10.Straight to Heaven
MiP based on the bottle alone! But also it smells better.
"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
Burnt rubber or cloying synthetic leather...
MIP ( i'm sorry i can't get EDP , I need him to last longer on me ).
MIP by a huge margin, simply because at a certain stage in Bulgari Black's development, if LITERALLY evokes a rubber tire smell, I mean it's instantly recognizable.
I prefer Bvlgari Black, by a wide margin. I own Black and have a large sample of Midnight In Paris.
Yes, they have a bit of similarity, but they definitely do not smell the same. MiP smells like a halfway point between BB and Armani Code, with a nod toward the feminine rather than the masculine, though it's absolutely unisex. That's ironic since Bvlgari Black is the one listed as unisex, not MiP, but Black smells far more masculine to me than MiP. To me, Black smells more mischievous. It smells darker and perhaps naughtier. It's more of an evening scent. I love it.
Both BB and MiP are excellent, and both are surprisingly affordable, but I choose (and love) Black. I wouldn't be surprised if many love them both, and I can completely understand why some will prefer MiP. As I said, they're both excellent, and they're both underpriced in my opinion. Without a doubt, they are different enough to be worth owning both.
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!
"Follow your nose. It always knows." -- Toucan Sam
Mip edp
MiP is BB with all the most interesting notes taken out of it. MiP is for those who prefer something safe.
MiP for me
Midnight in Paris EDP.
As someone mentioned, it's BB perfected. With layers of other creamy notes accompanying the rubber accord which is done beautifully.
With BB, all I get is burnt rubber, rubber and rubber. Ugh
BB wins for me. It is darker, a bit edgier with more of the burnt rubber. MiP is sweeter, softer an more feminine to my nose
MiP hands down. theres something in Black that I just cant explain why I utterly dislike it. it smells like a michelin factory
my blog : bonnygonggrijp.blogspot.com
Lalique Pour Homme
MiP has been a favorite in my collection for better than a year now, and i just recently got a bottle of Bulgari Black. They do smell very similar, but i get much better projection and longevity from MiP (edp or edt). The Bulgari smells a little less feminine imo, but they both smell so similar, i'm not sure how often i'll actually reach for Black over MiP. I get that Bulgari did it first, but VC&A did it right.
Bvlgari Black is so much better imo. Actually, I may be one of the few people who completely dislikes MIP. I have only tried the EDP, I may like the EDT, but I hear they are quite similar. To me, MIP EDP smells like a watered down Bvlgari Black mixed with a watered down Dior Homme, and some extra cheap floral notes.
My Ultimate Top 5:
Fahrenheit (1988)
Paul Smith Man (2009)
Burberry London (2006)
Prada Amber pour Homme (2006)
Arpege pour Homme (2005)
BB is harsh from the top and MIP specifically EDP is very smooth tranquil as vanilla(tonka) is so soothing and can't never over spray on it, perfect romantic scent that will entice those around you in close proximities and never offend: So yes Midnight in Paris EDP is my pick....Cheerios
"Thank GOD for the nose, for without it we would not be enjoying these beautiful created Scents" also Remember "Balance is everything and the key to appreciating "
Have both in my collection. I use MiP almost exclusively as a date scent. Bulgari Black is more versatile.
Both are great bottles btw. Both awesome scents. But MIP is refined and the "smoother" version. But gotta give BB credit for being the original.
I do like both with a slight edge to MIP here. Black is a fine scent but it is just waaaaaay way too soft. I like when others notice that I am in fact wearing something. MIP is slightly better in that department, though really not by much...
Black! It's got so much more character.
MiP for me....
My all time favorite:
Dior Fahrenheit

@kragorr, Heroic 10 or heroic 25? I'm curious to try now.
Heroic 10, Good luck and fraps it for all of us :>
No luck i take it?
EDIT: Nope. Same as you. Hovering around 74%, and then when he enraged I just dropped like tofu. His melee was hitting me for 58k+ with 300% attack speed.
Last edited by Fhi; 2013-01-02 at 11:30 PM.
Might sound bad but i'm glad it's not just me ..
EDIT: Ok, it turns out the glyphs DO work on the guardian, and this time, he didn't get any debuff from the slash. Strange, but yes, he survived perfectly through it. 4m11s kill, and it wasn't that difficult either.
Trying Sunwell as ret. Skipping Kalec obviously. Fairly new to ret, only picked it up last week when i resubbed, but already i've beaten all of the content i could do as prot, and even made my BT run much faster (Council is the only one i spec prot for, but that's all about survivability).
Since the vengeance change months ago, Brutallus is out of bounds for me as Prot. The magic damage from the cone doesn't add up to nearly enough vengeance now, whereas before, soloing it was only a moderate challenge, and the enrage could be countered by all cooldowns, which let you survive but get immense amounts of vengeance.
So, i went in as ret to see whether i could manage it. Brutallus is just roflstomping me. The best i've managed was 800K, and that was using Terracotta Guardian trinket summon (700K health mob with multiple taunts, does a fantastic job of holding aggro). He died at around 2M, and past that, i just didn't have the damage, and so i couldn't finish him properly (the slashes were stacking too high to cope with). This was even with doing a 3-slash taunt rotation for much of the fight so that the guardian might survive a little longer, and throwing instant FoL and ES on him. Even used my LoH on him at one point.
I'm considering trying again and using Battle Healer to see whether it'll heal the guardian, but i'm still not sure it'll be enough even if it does work. If i can keep the guardian alive throughout, then it shouldn't be much of a problem, as damage output isn't an issue (the wipe above was after 3m44s so plenty of time left).
My ilvl is only 458 (i don't raid, and i've no tolerance for PVP these days), but surely it shouldn't be impossible. In fact, there's a YouTube video of someone managing it as ret (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dg6CUEVrKks). I can survive to enrage as prot, and even try and push through as vengeance stacks from the melee swings, and i can almost destroy Brut as ret if using that trinket, but i can't kill him while surviving as either spec. By the end, i've used all my cooldowns, done everything i can, but i still wipe.
I'm was using the TV Glyph to minimize the damage i take when i do need to take aggro, as well as the Inq. glyph for the sake of not needing to worry about it as much (probably a bad choice) but i'm thinking the PotI glyph might work wonders (as long as i create a macro to focus it on the guardian and do some taunting once his stacks get too high). Along with Battle Healer and WoG (3% damage), it might be an awesome combo. Then again, it could turn out to be terrible. I guess i'm just not sure what'll work.
Anyone got any tips?

As 488ilvl Ret SWP was just tank & spank all the way, almost everything dies before wings end... BT same... ICC 10man normal same (on gunship just jump to other side fast and kill mage and jump back, got hit from boss like 2 times... after 2-3 times of jumping back and forth - WIN)... Only tried ICC 25man Morrowgar as prot (480ilvl), droped like a fly, didn't try 2nd boss... OS 3D 10man dies in like 25-30sec, 25man needed help so 2xRet easy, solo need more dps... Malygos 10man faceroll, 25man tight enrage timer, but i've managed it in like 9:50 and enrage is 10:00 as i recall correcly, In Cata raids only done Halfus as prot, didn't tried anything else since...
As you can see, ret is THE way to go for soloing... and i would post some screenshots but i can't... (need to write more posts or something)

@Synthaxx, it's probably a gear level issue. What did you reforge to? I run my friend every week because she wants some shiny from kiljaeden. I ret the whole place - mostly barely surviving but much faster than prot. Except for brutallus, had to switch to prot for that. Can't survive as ret, but as prot, I didn't have to do anything special either.
What I do for Brutallus is just bubble whenever the stacks seem about to kill you for the next strike (4-5 stacks IIRC), which pretty much doubles the time you can survive. Keep healing with WoG and keep Sacred Shield up, and you should be able to kill him before they get too high again. This as retri, not prot.
I soloed Fathom Lord Karathress back at 85 and had a video of it. I had a lot of people recently ask me if I could do it at 90 and post a video of it. I did it tonight and made a video and loaded it to youtube for anyone still trying to solo it and dealing with the Cataclysmic Bolt.
Classes by soloing ability (descending order)
1. Blood Death Knight
2. Hunter
3. Warlock
4. ??? (Probably paladin)
Paladins are very good at soloing though (in fact, all of these classes are).
Very little of the actual thread has been about 80 soloing.
Volun-told - A supposedly optional event, award, assignment, or activity in which a person (or persons) are required to attend either by persons-in-charge nominating them or their peers expecting them to be there. The individual often has no say in the matter, and non-attendance in frowned upon.
I am so tired of seeing terrible people, being admired, for being terrible people.
Just about every "impressive" 80 Paladin solo (LK 25-heroic, Sartharion 3D-25) is an exploit. They have a mastery bug that lets them do 3M DPS and Blizzard hasn't fixed it. . .
i`ve solo`d alysrazor 10 heroic in Firelands as protection, preety easy.

While organizers of "Operation Community Christmas" are thankful for those who have already contributed to this year's annual Christmas toy drive, more people are needed to step up to ensure a merry Christmas for as many children as possible.
The Free Press and The Salvation Army's Kinston Corps kicked off their 20th annual "Operation Community Christmas" in late November.
Monday is the final day to drop off a toy at either The Free Press or the Salvation Army's respective offices at 2103 N. Queen St. or 2110 N. Queen St.
About 1,700 local children received two toys each after last year's toy drive, and Salvation Army Maj. Robin Starr expected the same number will receive gifts this year, based on the families which have signed up so far.
"We still need a lot (more toys)," Starr said.
Families apply to The Salvation Army for Christmas assistance each year, and they will be able to walk through The Salvation Army's Kinston gymnasium next Wednesday and Thursday and pick out toys.
Dec. 21 is a make-up day to apply for assistance, Starr said.
The Salvation Army purchases a portion of toys for the drive, but Starr encouraged the community to continue to pitch in.
"If we can get one to two toys donated per child they'll get three to four toys (total)," he said.
Billy Moore of The Free Press, the longtime chairman of "Operation Community Christmas," encouraged more people to bring toys to the newspaper's offices as well — toys brought to The Free Press go under a Christmas tree in the customer service area.
"We need civic groups and the churches and our readers to please bring the toys by as soon as possible," Moore said.
He said "there is a bigger need than ever" because of the state of the local and national economy.
"We certainly want to thank those who have already donated toys," Moore continued.
Local residents can also make monetary contributions, and either mail them or bring them to The Free Press. Moore said financial donations can be made through next Thursday.
Members of the community can also adopt a specific child by visiting The Salvation Army and choosing a name from the Angel Tree.
The Angel Tree has cards with a child's name, age, gender, toy wish list and clothing sizes.
"It's a really wonderful program," Starr said.
David Anderson can be reached at 252-559-1077 or email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter at DavidFreePress.
Toys needed:
- Donors can bring new toys for children ages 0-14
- Bring them to The Free Press or The Salvation Army by Monday
- The Free Press is at 2103 N. Queen St. and is open from 8:30 a.m.-5:30 Monday-Friday
- The Salvation Army is at 2110 N. Queen St. and is open 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday
- Monetary contributions can be mailed to: Salvation Army Toy Drive, c/o The Free Press, PO Box 129, Kinston, NC 28502, or brought to The Free Press

Diabetes Dateline
Winter 2011
Critical Link Found between Insulin and Bone
Recent research findings published in the July 23, 2010, issue of Cell shed new light on the interactions between insulin, bone, and blood glucose, also called blood sugar. The findings could lead to a new approach to treating type 2 diabetes.
People with type 2 diabetes do not secrete enough insulin to control blood glucose, and their cells and tissues have a decreased capacity to respond to the hormone. A protein called osteocalcin, which stimulates bone-forming cells called osteoblasts and is secreted by them, has the important properties of stimulating insulin production and making the body's cells more sensitive to insulin. Osteocalcin is inactive when released by the osteoblasts but is activated by osteoclasts, a different cell type that breaks down old bone.
Research conducted in mice from two laboratories supported by the National Institutes of Health has shown that insulin also stimulates production of the active form of osteocalcin, which in turn has a beneficial impact on energy balance within the body. Thus, the research shows another important way that insulin regulates metabolism—through its effects on bone—and suggests that bone cells may be a useful therapeutic target for type 2 diabetes.

I see that GIT is considered the number one most complimented frag in the sticky thread. I wonder how many of these
fragrance gurus even considered wearing some Cool Water instead?
Following my Bois de Portugal vs Antaeus Challenge
Tarheel-Golfer sggested 'doing' GIT vs Cool Water.
So I did.
Similar to before - but to remind you - I've decided to start wearing two different frags at the same time once in a while, then canvassing for opinions...
I'm 50, I canvassesd a number of women at work over the course of a few days. I swapped around between wrists and asked each lady several times. All ladies were mature - late 30s to mid 50s.
Both colognes had been on for at least 3 hours before I started asking.
Guess what?
Cool Water won. Unanimously.
So there you have it folks.
This weeks challenge - Bois de Portugal vs M7. Place your bets now!!!
I see that GIT is considered the number one most complimented frag in the sticky thread. I wonder how many of these
fragrance gurus even considered wearing some Cool Water instead?
I'm surprised Cool Water won tbh.....I love Green Irish Tweed and gave my bottle of Cool Water away.....night and day for me.
My money's on M7.
Hats off for doing this......interesting to say the least.
Maybe its just my body chemistry, but Cool Water just smells like cheap aftershave on me.
That's a big shocker that Cool Water beat Green Irish Tweed. Creed Portugal will beat M7 by a mile!!!!!!
Cool Water is a shadow in quality terms compared to Green Irish Tweed , I wonder what the result would be if people had to choose which one they would like for free.
That's expected really. I know a ton of women who actually wear Cool Water for men, and who get extremely turned on by it. It's more intense than most aquatics on the market, and although not a powerhouse, it was made during the end of the powerhouse era which gives it that little extra "look what I'm wearing" so to speak and helps with its projection. I don't know anybody who isn't a Basenoter who dislikes Cool Water.
Hi, I'm William | My Swap Thread
To the average person there is no difference. So if you're looking to please others and get noticed/compliments get some Cool Water. It's much better than people here give it credit for.
If you want a fragrance just for yourself get what you like whether ir be Cool Water of Green Irish Tweed.
Overall though, Green Irish Tweed is such an overrated fragrance. It's great nonetheless but, nothing amazing. It was groundbreaking and amazing for it's time amongst the powerhouse 80's fragrances but, not now.
Could it just be familiarity? What basenoters perceive as synthetic notes (and thus cheaper and inferior) in the Cool Water may be normal to the average Joe, so the Creed is unfamiliar and thus inferior to their noses?
That said, I'd love to see M7 beat Bois Portugal because I love M7, and just to see a few Creed fanboys cop it (says the Tom Ford fanboy)
Most people's tastes - in regards to scent, at least (and music!) - run towards the ordinary so that's no surprise.
Most of the scents that BNers or perfume critics would consider amazing are disliked by a large majority of the public.

I did a similar test a while ago and found that most people asked could not tell the difference between the two at any point during the drydown, and only a couple expressed a preference for one over the other. But even that wasn't a hands down win for either of them. I myself have never been able to tell the difference and I like to think my nose is a bit more refined than average Joe Public.
I love most Creed scents, but this is one of the very many reasons that I will never buy one.
I have always prefered cool water as I don't like the big synthy violet notes in GIT.

I couldn't tell much of a difference between cool water and GiT, but the bottle of GiT I own is great in terms of longevity, 12+ hous, I would not count on it being so in the next puchase.
as for M7 vs BdP, I would go for BdP, assuming your going to wait 3 hours

Over the past few years Cool Water has become even more synthetic than before...the orange blossom and peppermint have radically gone down in quality, and the woods and geranium notes have also gradually degraded. It still has a large following though. Very few fragrances in the world can match the alluring green-irisy violet leaf notes of GIT which perfectly hits the spot for me...far superior to the gaseous synthy violet notes found in Dior Fahrenheit or Grey Flannel, more pleasant than the rotting/boiling egg aroma of the absolute.
its okay for all you GITer's, i feel your pain (kinda). if anyones familiar with pacsun's Vurt line, you know its cheap synthetic absolutely disgusting trash. my sig scent was the green one before i got into better fragrances and my girlfriend LOVES it. its her favorite scent and no matter what else i wear, she doesnt like it as much. Le Male may hopefully be replacing it though, supposedly she loved that one. smells like sugar cookies during the late dry down on my skin so who WOULDNT love it haha.
not trying to hijack the thread so...
i really like this "experiment" youre doing. its like you can own a $500 fragrance and its great...but the fact of the matter is most guys wear this stuff to attract women, and maybe its not the most expensive ones that do the best job. i can honestly say i havent tried GIT, but Cool Water was mediocre at its best to me. aquatics arent my thing though, ill take a gourmand over an aquatic any day
What do YOU prefer though?

Wow, John, Thanks for taking my suggestion. And sorry guys for leading to yet another GIT vs. Cool Water thread. I know it's a dead horse on this forum, but I really was curious what John's general public testers would say.
I like this kind of comparison thread. Keep it up!
I would like to know at what point in the drydown did you do this (how many hours after application?). For the record, I don't like either one.

I tried a newer bottle are macy's and cool water is more similar to GIT these days than it was years ago I think. I tested an older bottle and THAT was pure garbage.
Not sure if they did a reformulation for the newer bottles or just the old bottle turned bad.
Either way, there's this...hairspray note that oozes from cool water that I really don't like. Otherwise, I'd like it.
Interesting finding, but not at all surprising. Contrary to popularly held beliefs, I don't find the two all that much alike. And GIT just doesn't work on my skin... Anyway, there are better fragrances out there than these two.
The only woman likely to give a positive coment on GIT is one who is really expert in scents.
I recollect posting one female officeworkers reaction to the GIT sample I had on my arm as stating that it smelled
"really awful, just like a Doctor's surgery"
Just for the record, I like these threads overall. Though they won't exactly affect which of the two scents mentioned I wear, I find the "layperson's" view interesting, because I feel like we do tend to entrench ourselves in BNland a little.
Also, I've never seen a blind comparison test involving multiple test subjects before.
So, thanks for posting!
"It's not what you look like when you're doing what you're doing; it's what you're doing when you're doing what you look like you're doing."
This is akin to how many things are perceived by hobbyists vs average joes. Take audio for example.....sit a newb in front of a pair of great speakers and some mass market ones. The newb will certainly mistake the mid-bass hump and shrill treble of the mass market speakers for solid bass and great clarity, leaving the well balanced, carefully crafted, neutral and "boring" speakers in the store. I'm sure you can see the parallels.
That said, I'm kind of over GIT. I bought a bottle last year, but don't find myself reaching for it often at all. Coming soon to the marketplace? Maybe.....
I think when it comes to cologne it maters what the average, uninformed nose likes. When I put on cologne, everyone else smells it. I want it to smell good for them as well as for me.
If women prefer Cool Water to GIT or can't tell the difference, that's the test I care about.
Green Irish Tweed would always be my choice of the two.
Last edited by MrFragranceReview; 27th May 2010 at 11:20 PM.
I am not sure if I am thinking right but with all this talk I am getting inclined towards buying a 'vintage' bottle of Cool water.
Anyone has some idea how can we identify a cool water bottle from the yore?
I'm not saying people aren't influenced by 'exclusive' fragrances, some are, but if others see the magic in GIT and you don't that doesn't mean it's over-rated.
Great works are performed, not by strength, but by perseverance.
I think this is a perfectly legimimate discussion and one which is bound to recur with new voices which is all good...
I agree that cool water has gone downhill (as have most frags in recent years) but also contest that GIT quality has also gone far downhill even in the last five years (and a fair bit before that too).
As for the presitge issue - that is off the topic of this thread but I say that GIT is made from better ingredients by far. Its just that I prefer cool water.

"Wear R de Capucci" - Hirch Duckfinder
Ease of access, pricing differences and biases apart, GIT is better than Cool Water, ingredient-wise. If Creed were as ersatz as the haters say they are, rational people wont buy them over the years as they have.
I actually prefer the ambergris-house-note-amped dry-down of GIT. That to me is the main difference between the two. I have used several bottles of CW right from its issue date, and reviewing from long experience and not by purpose-driven testing, i must say that GIT trounces CW in the longevity area as well. Easily a 12+ hours frag.
The OP's canvassing test is actually quite interesting, varied and not compromised by his own opinion. Nice one, JohnTheBeginner
ointments and perfume delight the heart....
great thread!
i'll have to try this comparison myself to see what kind of results it yields.
You GREEN IRISH TWEED haters are really becoming silly to the point of annoyance because of your one sided views, because either 1) you don't want/can't spend money on a superior product, so you get all bitter 2) You haven't tested them yourself, or own both for a less biased analysis 3) who knows, I don't care.
I own both, I like both. I'm relatively well off. I don't care how much fragrances cost, price isn't playing a factor.
But I'm telling you, straight up. GIT smells better to ME, because I love the natural violet notes in the drydown. It gets more powerful and intoxicating as it dries down, not weaker.
Cool water can't do that. It's a synthetic smell good, nothing more. And it's longevity sucks. It doesn't develop, it doesn't get stronger. But it smells nice, clean. Synthetic clean, like a detergent. Women like clean, synthetic smelling men, so it's no surprise this may win.

Students from the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine School of Pharmacy handed out pink ribbons at the Erie campus Monday to mark Breast Cancer Awareness Day. LECOM students, faculty, and staff members were encouraged to wear pink clothing. At noon, members of the American Pharmacists Association Academy of Student Pharmacists (APhA-ASP) enlisted their classmates to form a human pink ribbon in the school's atrium. More than 50 students, wearing pink, formed the ribbon, as members of the local media captured the moment.
Pharmacy students also sold pink paper chain links to raise money for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. The chain links were connected and fashioned into a large pink ribbon.
Through this effort, LECOM students pitched in $210. The chain of hope was organized by the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists Student Societies of Health-System Pharmacy (ASHP-SSHP).
The Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and LECOM School of Pharmacy offer innovative and affordable education in osteopathic medicine and pharmacy. From campuses in Erie, Pennsylvania, Greensburg, Pennsylvania and Bradenton, Florida, LECOM provides student-centered pathways to prepare the next generation of healthcare professionals. Prepare yourself for medicine as your life's profession.
