Investigating Israel
For most American Jews, Israel is only seen through the lens of the
political debate, the impressions of the news report, or the windows of a
tour bus. Begun as a weekly online essay in response to the Second
Intifada in 2000, Galilee Diary goes beyond the headlines to provide an
insider�s view of the rich and complex reality that is Israel. First
time readers and longtime fans of the series will enjoy this
multidimensional look at Israel, which includes revised and updated
highlights from the popular online series.
The teaching of Israel has become a high priority for our congregational school system in recent years. There is a documented decline in commitment to Israel among young Jews. The Reform Movement is confronting this challenge in a number of ways. The CHAI Israel Strand Curriculum is a tool to be employed in our classroom to nurture our students' connection to Israel: the land, the people, and the culture. This strand is composed of nineteen lessons, two or three lessons for each CHAI level 1-7, and can be used on its own or complement the rest of your CHAI curriculum. Each of the seven levels focuses on one aspect of Israel and our connection to it as North American progressive Jews. As with each CHAI Curriculum Core, the Israel Strand Curriculum Core includes all the necessary teaching material for each lesson. The full-color workbooks are filled with photographs, maps, and student activities.

For those who want an alternative to solvent-based nail enamel, we've got the solution for you! Our unique water-based polish is totally odor-free! No more nasty fumes. But perhaps best of all, there's also no need for toxic smelly nail polish remover - this product removes with rubbing alcohol, vodka/grain alcohol or our new Odorless Polish Remover! Thanks to our new patented technology, there's nothing else like it on the market!
odorless,non-toxic earth-friendly formulalong wearing fabulous colorsContains NO:FD&C colors, toluene, dibutyl phthalate, xylene, or formaldehyde
Comes in 21 great colors to match our Truly Natural Lipsticks:Shiny Penny, Camelot, Romance, Risque, Desire, Vintage Merlot, San Francisco, Hippie Chick, Valentine, Mocha Latte, Goddess, Tuscany, Cherokee, Burlesque, Fairy Dust, Whisper (sheer), Serenity (sheer), Destiny, Manhattan, Nude Beach and Clear
What makes this product different from traditional polishYou already know it's water-based, it's odor-free and has no formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalates or FD& C colors. But let's take that a step further. Without getting too technical, let's explore the fundamental differences between solvent-based and water-based systems. Solvent- based polishes are simple solutions of nitrocellulose resins in strong solvents. Nitrocellulose is used because it forms a very hard film easily as the solvents evaporate from the base. These harsh, bad-smelling solvents, are then also used to remove the polish by dissolving the film. By contrast, water-based polish uses an emulsion resin in the form of billions of very small particles suspended in water. As the water evaporates, the particles touch each other and form a hard film which is no longer soluble in water. At first, it may seem that these systems are similar, the only difference being the carrier base. But they are in fact as different as night and day. One cures by reversible solvent evaporation, the other by creating a tightly knit film. One is easily dissolved, the other not so easily. Several states are beginning to regulate VOCs (volatile organic compounds) emitted by nail polishes and nail polish removers. WaterColors Nail Enamel has very low VOCs.
Product appearanceYou'll notice the Clear Base/ Top Coat polish actually appears milky white in the bottle. The milkiness disappears upon drying to form a clear coat. Sometimes minor settling occurs in some colors, and you may notice a light ring of color at the top of the bottle, or some sparkle floating to the bottom. We have shaker beads inside, so a light shake of the polish easily re-disperses the pigment.
Nail preparationSolvent-based polishes can strip healthy nails of naturally produced oils. Since our polish does not contain these solvents, the oils remain on the nail. Wash and dry hands thoroughly before applying polish. Those with very dry skin may wish to apply a cuticle oil to nails first before applying polish to help hydrate the nail. Make sure the oil is absorbed into the nail before polishing.
Dry timeDries to a tack-free state nearly as fast as regular polish. Two thin coats will dry faster than one thick. Cold hands, low temperatures and high humidity can prolong drying time. Water resistant in about 15 minutes. Able to withstand other chemicals (shampooing, doing dishes) after about an hour. For best results, polish nails at the end of the day so they have overnight to cure properly.
Product exceptionsYou may find this product is a bit more difficult to remove from toe nails, because toe nails are naturally more dry and have less natural oils.
Scratch resistanceUnlike solvent-based polishes which reach their maximum hardness in about 40 minutes, WaterColors Nail Enamel must be given time to create a tough film. About 75% of the hardness is achieved very quickly, but it needs 4-6 hours to achieve maximum hardness. The more time you give it to cure properly, the longer it will wear. You may choose to apply it at night when the day's activities are done. However, because the film is quite thin, worn areas at the tips or scratches can be easily touched up to create a freshly-applied appearance.
Ease of removalThe film that is formed by the water-based system becomes more difficult to dissolve as time passes. For this reason, we recommend you remove the polish at or before one week of wear the first time you use our polish. Apply Odorless Polish Remover to the cotton ball or Honeybee Gardens felt pad. Hold the wetted pad on the nail for a few seconds, and then proceed to rub the polish off while applying gentle pressure. Do not scrape at the nail. It may take a few swipes longer than you're used to, but the product will come off. People with dry, ridgy or porous nails may need to work at it a bit longer. Acetone-based removers will not work because this is not a solvent-based system. Wash hands with soap and water thoroughly after removal. If you have naturally dry skin, you may also want to use a moisturizer.
Tips and tricksWhile WaterColors Nail Enamel may look and act like traditional solvent-based polish, it does have its eccentricities. Most of our customers tell us they would rather have to do an extra step if necessary rather than use polishes which contain potentially toxic ingredients. Here are some special instances and ideas which can help you create the perfect manicure.

Customer Raves & Reviews
nice quality
Don't forget to check for promotional coupon codes before you place your order! I saved 10% just by searching for and finding a coupon code online! It would be nice to be able to re-size and reposition the text boxes in the 'editor'. I know that I could have made a special request to re-size the text box, but we were in a rush and in the end settled for a different design that could accommodate all of our our text without having to make a special design request. Had the design software been more flexible I would have gone with a different design. I am very impressed with the quality of the paper, printing and envelope! I would highly recommend this site to anyone!
Card is what I wanted
Though it was a flat card, the wuality of the paper and printing was great. I wouldn't have asked for more.
Love the product!!
My invitations came out perfect! I was able to customize to my colors and theme! Customer service was great. I emailed with a question and they got back to me right away and solved the issue I was having!!! Would recommend in a heartbeat!!

School Briefs - Deep Run High School
Come Nov. 16, when the Deep Run High School boys' basketball team opens its 2012-2013 season against Thomas Dale High School, 270 days will have passed since head coach Curt Kassab and his Wildcats have taken the floor. And coming off a stingy loss to Highland Springs in the Wildcats' first playoff appearance under Kassab, this year's squad will be hungrier than ever.
Deep Run will be looking to build off last year's 16-9 season – the school's first winning season since Kassab took over as head coach two seasons ago. Last season also marked the first District and Regional tournament appearances in the Kassab era. "Our goal every year is to compete for a district title and a birth in the Regional Tournament," Kassab said.
Repeating last year's success will be no easy task, however, as Deep Run heads into the 2012-2013 season losing 10 players to graduation; most notably first-team All-District guard Parker Hull and second-team All-District center Lucas Dyer. This leaves a mere four returning varsity players for Kassab and company, and only one, junior guard Tim Branin, with extensive varsity game experience.
These key departures mean new faces will have to step up and lead this year's team, a challenge that senior guard Nick Butz welcomes. "I'm looking forward to being a leader of the team," Butz said, "I expect our team to be tough and have a great year."
While most are ready to write them off, Kassab sees this team with loads of untapped potential. "We have some talented young players and it's important that we develop these young kids," Kassab said. "I think that is critical in building a good basketball program."
With three-fourths of last year's team gone, Deep Run will have to rely heavily on its renowned student section, the "Wildcat Wackos."
The Deep Run basketball program has tons of momentum after last year's playoff run; however, with the large amount of turnover, repeating last year's success will be an immense challenge for coach Kassab and the Wildcats.

More than monkey business
Disneynature's 'Monkey Kingdom' is its strongest yet
"Did you know monkeys could swim?" asks Tina Fey in Monkey Kingdom. While she's asking, a toque macaque (a two foot-long monkey with red-white fur and great hair) breast-strokes under the surface of a pond, yanking out lily pad flowers by her teeth and dragging them ashore to munch later.
Turns out monkeys can swim. And slide down telephone poles. And do the thing from Flashdance where you bring down a cascade of water on your head and shake it off in slow-motion.
All will happen in Monkey Kingdom, the eighth film in nine years from Disneynature, Disney's wildlife documentary outlet. > Read more.

Charles "Mask" Lewis Jr. lived life in the fast lane until a late-night encounter with a drunken driver in a speeding Porsche sent his Ferrari into a Newport Beach light pole. The TapouT co-founder died in the driver's seat.
Lewis, a former San Bernardino sheriff's deputy, didn't leave a will, but he did leave behind two children – the only heirs to a multimillion-dollar estate that included the largest share in mixed martial arts clothier TapouT, a stable of customized European sports cars and an assortment of luxury Swiss watches.
Orange County Public Administrator/Public Guardian John S. Williams moved quickly to take control of Lewis' fortune, which he initially valued at up to $15 million, arguing that he was better suited to handle the "large, complex estate" than Diane Larson, the mother of Lewis' children. Orange County Probate Court Judge Gerald G. Johnston agreed in May 2009, turning the estate over to Williams.
"The Public Administrator is forcing itself into this Estate where it is neither needed nor wanted," Adam Streltzer, an attorney for Larson, complained in court filings.
Eleven months later, the 4th District Court of Appeal would agree, accusing Williams of overreaching his authority and chastising Johnston for abusing his discretion. The estate was eventually handed back to Larson.
But by then, it was too late. The public administrator had already agreed to sell TapouT at a price other shareholders would later call "pennies on the dollar." It sold Lewis' Bentley and Mercedes-Benz for $58,000 less than their appraised values, and paid $45,000 to Lewis' former business partners for funeral expenses they promised to provide for free, court records and interviews show.
County lawyers said they were not aware of the funeral offer.
Williams refused to comment for this story, but in a statement sent to The Orange County Register by his attorney, he insisted that "Ms. Larson had no legal priority to act as administrator because she does not personally inherit from the Estate. … Since Ms. Larson did not have legal priority, and there were Estate assets that needed to be properly handled, the Public Administrator was under a legal duty to seek appointment."
The county public administrator settles estates of those who die without a will or someone to take care of their affairs; the public guardian takes care of the elderly or ill who have no one to care for their affairs. A quirk of county government, Williams is elected the county's public administrator and then appointed public guardian by the Board of Supervisors. Each year, the agency handles estates valued at more than $38 million.
Williams, who has political ties to Orange County District Attorney Tony Rackauckas and former Orange County Republican Chairman Tom Fuentes, was elected public administrator/public guardian in 2003 after taking medical retirement from the marshal's office. He holds a master's degree in public administration but is not a lawyer.
In the past few years, Williams has been criticized for unnecessarily taking control of people's estates. In addition to the Lewis case, where he was rebuked by the 4th District, he was criticized in back-to-back Orange County grand jury reports in 2009 for "egregious" mismanagement, including dubious internal promotions that cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands. In the wake of those reports, Williams narrowly escaped having the Board of Supervisors strip his appointment as public guardian.
In two other recent cases with similar overtones, lawyer and community activist Ruth Hull-Richter is fighting the possibility of Williams controling her 92-year-old mother's estate. There is no need, Hull-Richter says, because she is willing and able to care for her mother. And an attorney for a 90-year-old woman suffering from dementia fought Williams' attempt in 2009 to sell the woman's Mission Viejo home, saying that she had $500,000 in the bank to pay for her care and had already willed the home to her only daughter. A judge agreed, and assigned a private fiduciary to oversee the Mission Viejo woman's affairs instead of the public guardian. The case of Hull-Richter's mother remains under investigation.
It's not clear why Williams would intercede in cases where he was not needed – cases that courts would later take away from him. Critics of the public administrator/public guardian system have suggested that such public officials have a vested conflict of interest – they need fees from large estates to help fund their office. In the Lewis case, for instance, Williams, county attorneys and others have rung up $191,411 in fees – even though the courts handed control of the estate to Larson, the mother of Lewis' children.
Confidentiality laws, Williams told the Register in September, often prohibit him from discussing specific cases or defending the actions of his office. All actions by his office, he said, must be approved by county counsel and the courts.
"We are not trying to take their estates," Williams said in that interview, which concerned accusations against his office, including those made by Hull-Richter. "We put the money in a trust fund and we use it for the conservatees. We try to find a viable option for them.
"To say we're doing it to take their money is absolutely insane," he added. "This is how it's done in every county in California."
The county supervisors last year hired an outside law firm to look into Williams' handling of such cases. The review, which is protected by attorney-client privilege, was scheduled to be finished earlier this month. It still hasn't been completed, county spokesman Howard Sutter confirmed.
Williams is not the first public administrator or public guardian in California to be accused of overstepping or mismanaging.

In Anime Mania, famous cartoonist, teacher, and best-selling author Christopher Hart demonstrates how any comic book artist can become expert in this wonderful style of animation. Step by step, he details how to draw the coolest anime characters from the widest selection of popular styles: high-tech cyberpunks; teens with troubled relationships; and mighty monsters, fantasy warriors, and giant robots.
This is an anatomy book strictly for the manga artist. Packed with dynamic step-by-step demonstrations detailing how to draw correctly proportioned manga faces and bodies, plus lots of tips and tricks of the trade, this practical guide has everything aspiring beginners need to start drawing convincing manga characters.
Warm and fuzzy characters all have that "certain something" that makes them so memorable and darling. But what exactly is it? This sought-after, ultra-cute quality is based on specific techniques that, when applied to character design, result in irresistible cartoon animals. With Cartoon Cute Animals, these are techniques that you can learn, too!
Ever wanted to draw manga but didn't know where to start? Ever felt there's something not quite right with your drawing but not sure what? Draw Your Own Manga: All the Basics is the book for you! The textbook of choice at Tokyo Animation College, the leading school for manga artists in Japan, it covers all the basic information you need to get started on drawing manga with clear and easy-to-understand instructions.
After a basic lesson in the fundamentals of comparative human and animal anatomies, you'll learn how to draw an entire menagerie of furry species, ranging from the adorable and charming super-cute furries to the seductive and super-popular glamorous furries to the warriors, wizards, vampires, and demons of the furry occult and fantasy realms.
This book focuses on both the cartoon-like critters and funny mascots that populate the shoujo (girls') style of manga and the more gritty and Gothic animals that inhabit the shounen (boys') style of manga.
Follow the lives of five senior art students as they learn color theory and technique... and have some cute and colorful life lessons along the way. With full-color illustrations scattered throughout, this volume will teach the reader some art basics as well. Art class was never this fun!
Now armed with basic color theory, Kisaragi and friends are ready to play and experiment with tones and new tools! But when the school art club, led by the upperclassman who inspired Kisa-chan to attend G.A., is in danger of being shut down, will the Color Rangers (minus the disguises) save the day?! Well, as long as Kisa-chan's clumsiness, cooking experiments, and badminton battles don't get in the way...
It's time for fun and fonts with Kisaragi and the rest of the memorable GA cast as they dive into the world of commercial design! But in a whirlwind of typography, photography, pictograms, and illustration (among other things), will the girls ever get any of their work done?! And with the Art Club and their... erm, "unique" projects running wild, leaving hijinks in their wake and distracting the GA girls, will a secret revelation about Tomokane completely blindside the group?!
It's time once again for art school, full of the spirit, love, and laughter of youth! Kisaragi and the GA girls return to class, shifting their focus to the history of Western fashion and textiles. But as with every serious art lesson in this department, crazy antics (not to mention a game of dress-up and a food fight) are never far off! And when the GA welcomes a new face - a transfer student from France - will the department's regulars scare off the new girl and make her hightail it back to her homeland?!
C'mon, GA students, sketchbooks at the ready! Mysterious happenings at the summer festival, fateful encounters while taking shelter from the rain - and a new face in the crowd (?!) all make for great subject matter! Namiko-san is pretty much the big sis of the GA crew, but who knew she had a big sister of her own? Will big sis be able to hold her own against Noda and Tomokane!
As autumn descends on Kisaragi and her colorful GA friends, the gang goes on a trip... through time! Art history takes center stage as festival season approaches at school, providing the girls with numerous opportunities to display their talents (and madcap antics)! The year might be winding down, but the spirit of the GA class is only just kicking into high gear!

Big Mamma Jamma wrote:trodgers wrote:I forgot the Lakers were playing
Why was the first half the worst? Didn't we surrender 71 damn points in the second half?
trodgers, it was a seriously ugly half of basketball. The Queens shot 31% so basically they couldn't shoot themselves out of a paperbag. The Lakers didn't move the ball like they have in the last several games ... just no passing and lots of shots late in the shot clock. They didn't push the pace (looked like many tired legs) and they had a slew of turnovers. Moreover, the FT shooting was absolutely horrendous. The Lakers should have had a nice little lead but were down by 1 going into halftime. It was seriously an ugly first half.
roo mentioned that tired legs shouldn't be an excuse but I'm sticking with that since the Lakers are pushing the pace more than they have. Once they get used to or adapt to that pace they should be fine.
One thing I will WMC about is that we need more depth at the 3 ... and we need more shooters. The league will adjust and in order to spread the floor the Lakers need more athletes who can shoot. I have no idea why we haven't given Delonte West a look since he is a really good shooter. Ugh.
I appreciate that in depth description of the first half. Thanks for that. What about the second half? How did we give up so much?

Having been raised a strict Catholic, for as long as I remember, I asked questions and received answers that simply seemed contradictory and nonsensical. I thought that in time I'd come to understand these things with "wisdom," however, as I aged, I came more to the realization that as George Carlin put it, religion is the "biggest bullshit story every told."
That said, I would suggest that in today's world (outside of the long historical context) that Catholicism is the most reasonable Abrahamic religion with regard to being open to science. Compared to the Protestant fundamentalists advocating Young Earth Creationism, official Church doctrine is a world apart. And then comes the "reasoning" outside of science.
I was recently browsing the web checking out Catholic teaching on Evolution and ran across how Pope Pius XII stated in the 1950s that there is "no apparent way to reconcile" polygenism with the Biblical idea of original sin (i.e. Adam and Eve separated themselves and thus all humans from God). Now, put simply, it appears the Church is leaning more toward the idea of accepting polygenism (good, any credible scientist does!). Meanwhile their theologians are working on reconciling this with the Adam and Eve story; i.e. creating a story to move yet another step away from the a literal biblical interpretation and try to reconcile their mountains of documentation with itself.
This is where the conflict between dogmatic Catholics becomes quite intense. Accusations are hurled about how this still can't reconcile, especially when Jesus mentions the story of Abel specifically (Matt 23:35). Well, that's a very good point and a very problematic point! So, Jesus, who is God, who is omniscient, mentions the blood shed by a non-existent human. Ok, so the next step is that Jesus was speaking figuratively there in terms they could understand. Why mention a person? What figurative way is there to interpret this? If he's not talking about a person, what blood was shed? Abstract blood?
This is probably but one of a mountain of these types of inconsistencies that could be pointed out. I spent a good part of my life trying to reconcile things like this and gave up as a rational person. This is where Sam Harris likes to point out that the religious just call it "mystery" and it doesn't make sense because we're not supposed to understand it in our limited minds. So we're not supposed to understand the literal story Jesus told as a parable to make us understand? How then do we understand anything written in these books? Well, we can understand some, not all, it's a mystery. There's just no end to this circular reasoning.
Thoughts, criticisms? I just bring this up because I find the whole thing absolutely fascinating in a sort of maddening way.

Pietro De Camilli MD
John Klingenstein Professor of Neuroscience; Director, Yale Program in Cellular Neuroscience, Neurodegeneration and Repair
Biographical Info
A native of Italy, De Camilli studied at the Liceo Manzoni in Milan, earned his M.D. degree from the University of Milano in 1972 and obtained a postgraduate degree in medical endocrinology from the University of Pavia in Italy. He was a postdoctoral fellow (1978-79) with Paul Greengard in the Department of Pharmacology at Yale, and subsequently an assistant professor in the Yale Section of Cell Biology. Following a return of a few years to Milan, he moved back to Yale in the late 1980s, where he is now John Klingenstein Professor of Neuroscience. He became an Investigator in the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in 1992. From 1997 to 2000 he served as Chair of the Department of Cell Biology and since 2005 he is Founding Director of the Yale Program in Cellular Neuroscience, Neurodegeneration and Repair.
The De Camilli's lab is interested in the cell biology of neuronal synapses. His studies on synaptic vesicle dynamics have contributed to the general fields of exocytosis and, more recently, of endocytosis. His research has provided insight into mechanisms of membrane fission and has revealed ways through which membrane-associated proteins can generate, sense and stabilize lipid bilayer curvature. His discovery and characterization of the role of phosphoinositide metabolism in the control of endocytosis have broad implications in the fields of phospholipid signaling and of membrane traffic. His studies of synapses have also contributed to the elucidation of pathogenetic mechanisms of human diseases.

Car-buying will be different – sometime
With gasoline prices holding pretty steady in the low-$3 a gallon range, it appears more and more of us will have to start reconsidering our approach to buying automobiles in the future. Editor Don Whitten takes a look at some of the options, including hybrids and all-electric cars, and wonders when changes will really start to take place. (November 14, 2011, Page 4A)

Even though David Gagnon has owned Allura Printing in Costa Mesa for six years and grew up in a family business in Quebec, he jumped at the chance to learn how to expand his company.
The local Small Business Administration office invited Gagnon to participate in an initiative to help established businesses go to the next level. The goal: Create new jobs and boost local economies.
"It was quite a commitment," Gagnon said of the seven-month Emerging Leaders Initiative that required him and 11 fellow entrepreneurs to drive from Orange County and Los Angeles to Corona for biweekly classes.
They worked on their businesses in small peer groups and prepared three-year strategic plans for business growth. Allura's plan maps out a strategy to quadruple revenues and add to the staff of six, Gagnon said.
The SBA says the Emerging Leaders Initiative is the agency's only federal training effort focused specifically on executives of businesses that have been operating at least three years and have revenues above $300,000. Other academic, private and economic-development organizations offer growth training for established business owners but sometimes charge thousands of dollars. Emerging Leaders is free, although enrollment is extremely limited.
The SBA has run the classes in 27 cities; the Santa Ana district office participated for three years; this year Los Angeles and Fresno will offer classes.
"This is an amazing curriculum," said SBA district Director Adalberto Quijada. "The greatest challenge is getting owners to understand the value of working on their business, not just in their business."
He said his staff recruited the entrepreneurs from the SBA's database; after the business owners finish the training, his team will match them with other programs such as SCORE's CEO forums, which are small groups of owners of established firms.
But the SBA isn't the only partner for the training developed by Interise. The Boston nonprofit calls the program the Streetwise MBA and licenses it to cities, business groups and others that want to boost local jobs and economies. Partners include New York City, the University of Pittsburgh and the Greater Dallas Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
"The course was designed to understand companies entering their second stage of growth," said Interise CEO Jean Horstman. "We didn't build a big organization; we licensed its use to partners ... because people will build their own programs better than they will build yours."
From 2008 through 2011, 73 percent of participating businesses added jobs with an average starting salary of $41,865, and 64 percent increased their revenues, Interise said.
"This initiative pays for itself," Horstman said. "The government received $3.50 in tax revenues for every $1 in our contract."
Gagnon said the training really helped his printing company, which was hard-hit by the recession.
"We lost two top customers that went bankrupt," he said. "My brother, who is my partner, and I have supportive wives. We worked harder and had to cut some employees. But in the last year we doubled our space and bought equipment. Now we want to add production people and sales people."
Allura's three-year growth plan includes increasing its book-printing business and commercial printing, as well as seeking government contracts, which was one module of the Emerging Leaders training.

Thread: Dior Homme Intense
Do women really like the smell of this? I bought a decant and I'm not saying it's a bad smell, just different. Smells like a women's make up bag. I haven't worn it yet. Does it smell better once it dries down? I'm assuming this is a night out fragrance only?
Great frag IMO. Can be worn day or night. Definitely one of my favorites.
ALL women I've came in contact with while wearing DHI have most definitely loved the smell. Perfect night out, winter, date scent. My holy grail!!

top ten stuff definately. i have 3 bottles
If you associate iris, cocoa or vanilla with a woman's make up bag then so be it. This stuff smells like the aforementioned and women love it as do many men
Have never heard a woman complain of a guy wearing this before.
The make up bag beginning definitely is an aquired taste, but now i love it. And the vanilla coco drydown is amazing. I have the reformulated version, but i scored a vintage bottle this weekend at the mall at some random perfume store. They had one bottle left buried behind a bunch of junk.
Definitely one of my top 3, and never have seen a lady complaining on it.
If someone were to tell you that it smells amazing, and it yes the dry down is also amazing, will it make you like it any better?
if you don't like it, you don't like it. Good thing you only bought a decant!
Buckjunkie, if I became a woman I think I still wouldn't like it.
Always get compliments when I wear it. I have both the reformulation and vintage, and they never fail to deliver.
dior homme intense is pretty different than stuff out there. women may find it sexy, or they may find it too powdery. don't worry about pleasing women (women are most pleased when you don't try to please them).
I own it, and I certainly can appreciate the quality. However, I don't wear it in public very often.
I despise it. My woman told me to "never buy this" along with Fahrenheit.
Received two compliments from this one from ladies....
"You smell like baby powder you smell good"
"Whatever you are wearing smells so sexy"
Last edited by frostyicy; 9th April 2013 at 01:08 PM.
keep using it till you get past that makeup smelling phase and then you might enjoy the scent a lot.
A great scent.
Definitely not a "manly" scent, but women absolutely love it. Not for every man or women to love.
As I've stated before and others have too, DHI is my man whore scent. I'm single, mid twenties, I dress quite well suave or what have you and DHI fits my persona perfectly when it comes to my self and the opposite sex.
If I were in a relationship, i don't think I would wear it as much, unless my significant other voiced their liking for it. But as i'am single now, i love the attention that comes from women while wearing DHI

To my nose at least, Dior Homme has a far more pronounced makeup bag/lipstick note, while DHI an additional gourmand touch (possibly sensing vanilla, even dark chocolate, marzipan and mocha notes). While still being a rather heavy and thus almost exclusively evening wear fragrance, I still think that quite a few subtleties and complex facets are quite likely to be sensed in DHI.
I have no idea if "women" like it, but I certainly don't...
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
Wore it on a date or two, but didn't receive any compliments. A few women smelled it on me after we'd started dating, and said they preferred my other "date night" colognes like The One, New Haarlem, or even Neroli Portofino. DHI/DH were then moved to the "nighttime formal event" slot, along with Chergui.
Current Top Five:
1. Creed Green Irish Tweed
2. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino
3. Hermes Concentre d'Orange Verte
4. Bond No. 9 New Haarlem
5. Creed Original Vetiver
DHI is effing amazing. Great for that special occasion in a suit and tie. I think it can also be worn on summer nights if sprayed lightly. Beautiful, just beautiful!
Some women will like it. I think mine probably wouldn't (too sweet, too much vanilla, perhaps) but I haven't tried it out yet.
The reformulation debate has gone on now for many months. IMO the reformulation is just as good as the vintage, with very minor differences. While sillage and projection may be slightly better in the vintage, the reformulation lasts just as long. I don't think Dior used cheaper ingredients per say, but Francois Demachy did one heck of a job making the reform as close to the original as possible. I hope it's never discontinued.
To answer your question, yes most women seem to like it while just as many are indifferent. Yet to meet one who disliked it. Wearing it won't get them running after you unless you have some other kind of extraordinary appeal. Once you accumulate a few hundred bottles chasing that one lady killer, you'll finally understand what some folk say when they tell you to 'wear fragrance for you'.
The reformulation is just as good. I have the vintage and the new stuff smells 99% the same to me.

Not sure about most women, but my wife is ho-hum on it. While she doesn't dislike it, it doesn't do anything special for her.
in short, women love this stuff. I've had a female friend of mine smell aventus, MI, pure malt, and neither of the three elicited the response that DHI did.
DHI is a very safe lady killer IMO. though I can see how some men may not like it.
easy on the spray though... stuff is POTENT.
Women will like it. You see, women all have the same tastes.
Kurt smells like Teen Spirit
This is one of the fragrances that grow on you. It is a bit different, especially the top note.
I love the fragrance from beginning to end, but the drydown is just darn amazing. In fact I sprayed some of the reform on my forearm last night and there's still a trace of it. That's 20 hours ago!
OP, have you worn your sample yet?
Totally agree with you. Love DHI from beginning to end.
Just go easy on the sprays, or the amazing smoothness turns.. Not so smooth.
Current favourite: Spiritueuse Double Vanille
I just got my first bottle of DHI. First full wearing today. Maybe I am anosmic but it is not a powerhouse on my skin by any means. I put 3 sprays on under my shirt (done up with a tie, which is how I wear all my fragrances to work). I added 2 more mid morning. I catch the odd whiff but nothing overpowering by any means. My daughter said she could smell it faintly this morning. An all too familiar story for me. Same deal with Fahrenheit. I like it but good thing I got 100 ml.
This fragrance is Top 10 material for sure. Not only because it smells so damn good, but because the girls loves it too!
It's a wonderful fragrance. I admire it greatly.

Pata Salada Primer Aniversario and Saddlesore Challenge - Mazatlan, Mexico
On Monday, November 12, I will be leaving to attend the 2012 Pata Salada Primer Aniversario and Saddlesore Challenge in Mazatlan, Mexico. The Saddlesore Challenge will be certified by the Asphalt Rats Endurance Motorcycling in Mexico and also by the Iron Butt Association.
The following is how this story has been told by some.
El Espinazo del Diablo
A Mexican, a German, and an American, known as "The Drei Amigos", rode their motorcycles into the mystical mountains deep within the heart of Mexico. Under cover of the darkness of the night they passed through the Gates to Hell as they prepared to meet face to face with the Devil, challenging him in his own domain. The headlights from The Drei Amigos' bikes pierced the veil of darkness and fog, but the lights failed to reveal what may lay hidden in the darkness just around the next curve. The Drei Amigos steadily negotiated curve after continual curve as they defiantly rode through the misty night and up to the very spine of the Devil himself. The Devil awoke in a violent rage as his anger turned toward the insolent riders who have dared to violate the sanctity of his kingdom. He will give no quarter for the indiscretions of the intruders. He hastily arose absorbed with the intent to cast them out by plunging them thousands of feet down the mountain sides to the valley's floor below. Bolts of fire were hurled through the dark sky casting blinding light down upon the impending battlefield below. The Devil stood at his full height, and towered above the surrounding peaks of the mountains. With glowing yellow eyes he glared down at the foolish mortals.
The Drei Amigos came to a slow stop and put their kick-stands down as they stared at the impeding figure above them. The Mexican dismounted from his bike and slowly walked toward the Devil. The Mexican shook his fist at the Devil as he held it high above his head in the air. His voice echoed across the mountains. "Give it your best shot Devil, because it's my turn next." The German uprights his bike as he prepared to meet the Devil and shouted, "Let the games begin". And then to himself he said, "If this goes bad, I'm blaming the Mexican." The American, who was from the deep South, put his kick-stand up, slowly rolled on the throttle, and leading the way to the encounter with the Devil, he began singing to himself, "I wish I was in the land of cotton,.......".
The Drei Amigos soon reached the end of the road and now have to cross over onto the backbone of the Devil. The Devil's backbone splits through a deep ravine and provides only a narrow refuge that may be traversed by the riders. One mistake in the darkness and fog and the riders would plunge down the steep cliffs. The Devil realized very quickly that he now had the intruders slowly making their way across his back. He began to twist and turn in an effort to dislodge the riders. His whole body started to tremble violently as the riders still were not deterred. He began clawing at his back as he was riveting in pain.
In what seemed like an eternity to the Drei Amigos, they continued their treacherous trip and finally crossed the length of the Devil's backbone. Back on the road in the mountains they began to increase their speed as the frequency of the curves started decreasing as they were beginning the decent to the distant coastal plains below. The Devil watched as the lights from the motorcycles began to fade into the darkness of the mountains. In a sullen manner he returned to his confines in the mountains and in a deep raspy voice vowed "Soon they will have to return and revenge will be mine".
The upcoming ride report will reveal a slightly different version of the above events.

Miles: 626
Time on road: 10 hours
Woodstock, GA to Lafayette, LA
As usual, first day of the ride is one of the most boring days for the ride report.
Got an early start so that I could miss the Atlanta rush hour traffic. Left the house around 4:45. Temperature was in the mid 50s, and traffic was light. Not a bad ride considering that it was interstate all of the way. I-75 into Atlanta, I-85 out of Atlanta to Montgomery, AL, I-65 to Mobile, AL. Around 30 miles outside of Mobile the rain started and continued for the next 125 miles. I-10 from Mobile and around Baton Rouge, LA got the sun back.
Tomorrow I will head down to Laredo, TX and get ready to cross into Mexico Wed morning.
Tomorrow's ride report will be just as bad as today's.

Time on road: 9 hours
Lafayette, LA to Laredo, TX
As promised, today's report is just as bad as yesterday's.
Weather forecast had been showing for a week that after reaching southern LA, it would be clear skies with lows in the 50s with highs in the 70s. Stopped in southern LA last night. Left this morning with the sun out and the temperature was 30*. Finally reached a high of 52* before it became cloudy. Last 200 miles was on and off rain.
Finally got off the slab after taking Hwy 59 out of Houston. Got to ride some two lane instead of just interstate. Arrived in Laredo, TX after another exciting day of riding. Found the money exchange and got enough pesos for most of the trip. Getting everything ready to cross the border into Nuevo Laredo in the morning and then heading down to Torreon.

Miles: 360
Total miles: 1,535
Time on road: 7 hours 45 minutes
Laredo, TX to Torreon, Coahuila, Mexico
Left Laredo around 7:00 this morning. Drove down to the border and crossed into Nuevo Laredo. Followed the signs that lead me through the back streets of Nuevo Laredo and found Immigration. Went inside and met John. He was on his way down from PA and was also going the to ride. Immigration actually had things well organized and within 30 minutes I had my Tourist Permit and my Temporary Vehicle Import Permit.
John and I left Immigration and headed south out of Nuevo Laredo toward Monterrey. About 20 minutes later we came to the first military check point. A quick check of the bags and the next stop was the Aduana. They checked the paper work, the bike's VIN, and of course, they check the bags again to make sure that I had not added anything to them during the 200 yard ride from the military checkpoint.
Back on the road and the past two days started to repeat themselves again. Temperature drop and on and off rain. As we got closer to Monterrey we started passing through hills/mountains. Heavy fog, mist, and rain. Passing through the mountains around Saltillo, the fog became so thick at times that there was less visibility than there would have been if we had been riding at night.
The good news for today. On 11/11, Mexico reduced the toll rate for motorcycles by 50%. This saved me around $250 (paseos) on just today's ride.
The other good news. Around 1:00pm after coming out of the mountains, the fog was gone, the mist was gone, the rain was gone, partly cloudy skies, and the temperature went up into the mid 60s. The last two hours of the ride into Torreon was actually a good ride.
Tomorrow will be another early start. The route will be through Durango and into the mountains down to El Salto. We will meet Marco (founder ot the Asphalts Rats) in El Salto, ride across the Devil's Backbone during daylight hours, and on into Mazatlan.

Thanks for the report. I'm hoping to ride Mexico and visit some of my favorite spots one of these days. Does anyone down there know when the Puente Baluarte will be opened? I want to ride to Mazatlán as well and then over the mountains and across the new bridge on my way to Durango and the Texas border.
The "official" word down here is November of this year. Take that for what it is worth.
Quick update--
Got into Mazatlan late last night. Got to ride part of the Devil's Backbone during daylight hours, got to ride part of it after dark (not by choice). Met with the Pata Salada around 9:00 last night, got to bed around 6:00 this morning. Pictures and actual update of yesterday's ride will be posted in the next day or so.
Getting ready for the ride in the morning, 5:00 am start time.

Miles: 369
Total miles: 1,904
Time on road: 14 hours 30 minutes
Torreon, Coahuila, to Mazatlan, Sinaloa
Finally started getting the weather that I had been looking for. Left Torreon around 7:00 and after about 45 minutes of riding we finally left the traffic behind. Good roads on into Durango.
Arrived in the town of El Salto where we were to meet Marco around 12:00
The place was a real train wreck.
Marco was riding The Prospector up from Aquascalientes. The gal had been demanding a little extra TLC and they did not arrive until 3:30. A little something to drink for the Prospector, a pat on the head and we were off to find the Devil's Backbone.
Marco and the Prospector.
Back on the road so that we would be out of the mountains before dark.
But luck was on our side, and we got 2 hours of practice riding the Backbone in the dark.
We arrived in Mazatlan around 8:30. The Pata Salada Saddlesore Motorcycle Rally was more of a 4 day party with a ride in the middle of it. We located the Pata Salada MC favorite pub and soon the members began arriving. We had a great time meeting the members and talking with each other. Or, in my case, trying to understand each other. Gringo with a Southern accent. I think that I provided them with a lot of entertainment and laughs.
After too much socializing, everyone started to head out for home. Marco and I had been invited to stay at the home of Felipe, the president of the Pata Salada MC. Around 6:00 in the morning, we finally got to call it a day.

Mazatlan, Sinaloa
We got a few hours of sleep this morning, but we still had a late start to the day. Went for a late breakfast and spent most of the rest of the day preparing for tomorrow's ride.
Later in the day Marco and I meet up with Peter and John at their hotel. Spend some down time along the water's edge.
That evening the Pata Salada held a dinner and pre-ride meeting. It was a great dinner. During the meeting Marco explained the rules and requirements for certifying their ride through both the Asphalt Rats Endurance Motorcycling and the Iron Butt Association, and I presented some tips on how to do the ride. Marco had to intemperate everything that I said as I know less than 30 words in Espanol. Not sure what he was really saying, but I think he was telling them some thing about a dumb gringo that did not know how to ride.
By the time all of the night's activities were done, it had been another long night and it limited the amount of time that we had to get some sleep.
As the Drei Amigos were leaving for their much needed rest, little did they know that someone had already tipped off the Devil that the Drei Amigos would soon be on their way.

|Latasha Battle, RN is the February 2013 DAISY Award Recipient
Congratulations to Latasha Battle, RN who is the February 2013 Daisy Award recipient. Latasha is an RN in the Emergency Center. The DAISY Award is presented monthly to an All Children's Hospital Nurse who has provided extraordinary service to our patients.
I was in a very stressful situation. My son was being taken by ambulance from the Countryside area of Pinellas County to All Children's. We live out of the country and were visiting my father who is ill. At All Children's, Latasha made every effort to ease my stress under a difficult time. She went above and beyond the call of duty by arranging transportation for me and my son to return to Countryside to pick up a rental car. I cannot say enough about her. She is an excellent asset for your hospital.
Latasha's Department Director added:
"Latasha has been employed at ACH since 1996. When I first met her, she was a RN on the night shift in the Clinical Decision Unit (CDU)," said Susan Byrd, Emergency Center Director. "She provided consistent care to our overnight CDU patients. However, the Emergency Center (EC) was right next door. She came to me wanting to learn how to care for EC patients in order to increase her knowledge and provide comfort. She also wanted to better support the needs of our department. She has blossomed into an EC RN, who can care for CDU patients and is now full-time in the EC. Latasha is also studying for her CPEN exam.
"When I reflect back on Latasha and the care she provides, I remember reading many patient letters that compliment her. The theme of all these letters is about how she frequently asks patients if there is anything they need or anything she can get for them. Whether it's crackers, a soft drink or just a warm blanket, her kindness goes a long way. Just this week, she shared a card with me she received from a parent thanking her for her care."
Thank you Latasha, for the compassionate care you provide our patients.

'Gatsby' remake swings, misses
Associated Press
Leonardo DiCaprio is Jay Gatsby and Carey Mulligan is Daisy Buchanan in "The Great Gatsby."
Associated Press
"The Great Gatsby" has a stellar supporting cast: Isla Fisher (standing left) is Myrtle Wilson with Joel Edgerton as Tom Buchanan, and (seated from left), Adelaide Clemens as Catherine, Tobey Maguire as Nick Carraway and Kate Mulvany as Mrs. McKee.
Warner Bros. Pictures
Tobey Maguire plays Nick Carraway and Leonardo DiCaprio is Jay Gatsby in "The Great Gatsby."
The Luhrmann "Great Gatsby" exists in its own bizarre, digitized, almost disembodied world -- everything that happens in the movie, from a grand mansion to a pink pinstriped suit, is a figure of style. It looks like a music video ready to burst into song.
Maybe a few Leonardo DiCaprio tunes would've helped. "The Great Gatsby" is a disorienting and tone-deaf stab at one of the great American novels, filtered through Luhrmann's toy kaleidoscope and played at up-tempo speed.
It is faithful to F. Scott Fitzgerald's book, although a weirdly Gothic opening in a psychiatric hospital might make you wonder whether we're still on DiCaprio's Shutter Island. Turns out this is where Nick Carraway (played by Tobey Maguire) has come to rest after getting burned out on the Roaring '20s.
He begins to tell his story, which conveniently unfolds in the voice of Fitzgerald's novel: how he came to stay in a small house on the Long Island shore next to the marvelous mansion of Jay Gatsby (that's DiCaprio), a mystery millionaire.
Gatsby secretly pines for a former love, Daisy (Carey Mulligan); she lives in the mansion across the bay with her boorish but loaded husband Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton), a place you can't miss for the green light flashing at the end of its dock, one of the most famous yearning images in American literature.
Luhrmann captures that image -- in fact, he won't let you forget about it, which is pretty much the overkill method of the movie.
When Gatsby gives a party, look for the fireworks and "Rhapsody in Blue" (two years before its composition, but never mind) to crest just at the moment we finally meet the great man himself.
Much of the rest of the soundtrack is awash in modern-sounding tunes with hip-hop inflections, which might be a ridiculous choice but which at least adds interest to the proceedings.
The movie's so full of candy colors and visual dazzle that it barely registers as a sad love story, or a contemplation of the past. (I saw it in the 3-D version, which only adds to the disconnection.) Luhrmann seems to admire the book, and slows the film down toward the end to draw out the complications contained in it, but he's too antsy to let anything, or anybody, breathe.
Hard to argue with the casting of Leonardo DiCaprio (he conveys more sense of the fierce social climber than Robert Redford did in the 1974 version), and Tobey Maguire has the observer role nailed. Also intriguing is newcomer Elizabeth Debicki as the sporty Jordan Baker.
Carey Mulligan, a fine actress, is almost completely lost in the shuffle as Daisy -- but who wouldn't be, with this much shuffling going on?
A book as delicate as "The Great Gatsby" needs a fine touch to keeps its art in balance. With Lurhmann, the touch is broad, and the book's melancholy tone keeps getting shoved aside in search of the next fabulous party to stage.
"The Great Gatsby" (two and a half stars)
F. Scott Fitzgerald's great American novel is digitized (it's in 3-D) and vulgarized by "Moulin Rouge!" director Baz Luhrmann, whose admiration for the book seems sincere but whose execution of the film is overblown. Hard to argue with the casting of Leonardo DiCaprio as Gatsby and Tobey Maguire as the observer Nick Carraway, but the gaudy style emphasizes the parties and misses the melancholy tone of the novel.
Rated: PG-13 for violence.

Character history
Toshiko Kasen was born and raised in Liberty City, where she met her husband Kazuki Kasen, who became the leader of the Yakuza in the city. Kazuki, however, preferred to spend his time with his men than with Toshiko who, feeling neglected, hires Leone Family made man Toni Cipriani to ruin and humiliate her husband after he destroys a Yakuza tank. She first tells Toni to steal a Yakuza munitions delivery, taking them to Phil Cassidy at a small dock in Rockford/Aspatria. Toshiko, happy of giving revenge, hires Toni to destroy the money being moved from Kazuki's casino before taking her to an opera at the Fort Staunton Opera House. After that, the Forelli Family attempt to ambush by smashing the limousine. although Toni manages to return her safely to her apartment. Toshiko, having humiliated her husband and shown her allegiances, tells Toni to kill her husband. Toshiko, feeling free, becomes depressed and releases her pet canary into the wild. Toshiko wanted to be "truly free" and commits suicide by falling out of her apartment window and falling on to a car below.
- Despite her holding a gun in the concept art, she appears a very peaceful and tranquil woman in the game, even letting her pet canary out of its cage to fly away into Liberty City before committing suicide.
- Despite being born and raised in an English-speaking environment, she speaks in a stereotypical Japanese accent, sometimes pronouncing an L as an R.
- She is one of few known characters to commit suicide rather than dying either naturally or being killed by another character, another being Margot in The Ballad of Gay Tony.
