Softball Splits at First Place Limestone with 3-2 Win in Game Two
April 11, 2013
GAFFNEY, S.C. - Pfeiffer University softball split a Conference Carolinas doubleheader at Limestone College on Thursday afternoon picking up a 3-2 victory in game two after falling 4-1 in the opener. The Lady Falcons end the day moving to 19-23 overall, 7-9 in league play while the Saints slide to 22-16, 14-4.
After Limestone scored two in the bottom of the first to begin the twinbill, the Lady Falcons would get on the board with a Lindsay Russell sacrifice fly in the second to score Sam Jarmusch. Jarmusch would begin the frame by lacing a double to left. The Saints added two more quick runs in the second to provide the final three-run difference.
Both teams would trade single runs in each of the first two innings of game two as the Lady Falcons would score their eventual game-winner in the top of the third. Ashlee Ellen would double home Sadie Saine in the first while Hannah Jackson singled home Khristin Isley with her single in the second. The game-winner came off the bat of Tyresha Ellis reaching on a fielder's choice in the third as Jarmusch scored from third.
Jarmusch would pick up the win inside the circle going all seven allowing just the two runs, one earned with three strikeouts to shut down the Saints. Pfeiffer gets right back to league action on Saturday traveling to Belmont Abbey for a 1:00 p.m. doubleheader.

Transportation Services
CenterPoint Energy's Transportation Services offers qualifying end-use commercial and industrial customers a choice in their natural gas supply. By providing customers access to competitive natural gas suppliers, CenterPoint Energy enables customers to maximize the value of their natural gas consumption. Through CenterPoint Energy's Transportation Services, suppliers can ship natural gas to qualified customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Rural Texas, and Houston including the Texas Gulf Coast.
How it works
Commercial and industrial consumers (or "end-use customers") of natural gas who are located on CenterPoint Energy's distribution system and burn a minimum of 10 MMBtu per day, or 3,650 MMBtu annually, may be qualified for CenterPoint Energy's Transportation Services. When enrolled in Transportation Services, end-use customers may select from a list of active, competitive natural gas suppliers who will use CenterPoint Energy's natural gas distribution system to ship natural gas to the end-use customer's facility.
Transportation Services is a choice for the end-use customer, and participation is is not a requirement for natural gas service. If an end-use customer declines to participate in Transportation Services, the customer will continue to receive the same safe, reliable natural gas sales services provided by CenterPoint Energy to all customers.
Reliable service
Transportation Services ensures the same reliable delivery of energy to the end-use customers that CenterPoint Energy has been providing customers for more than 130 years, while providing qualified end-use customers the choices they desire when making critical business decisions related to energy supply.

HR University looks to gain college accreditation for agency training
Tuesday - 7/17/2012, 5:12am EDT
The Chief Human Capital Officers Council is working to let feds earn college credits for human resources training classes developed by the government.
It's part of the council's effort to professionalize the HR workforce through the HR University, said Kathryn Medina, the council's executive director, in an interview with Federal News Radio.
"We now have the opportunity to take our federally-focused training — training that's specialized to our HR professional roles — and vet and approve them, and then college accredit them so that our professionals can then market their skills towards a masters, bachelors or an associate degree," she said.
Kathryn Medina, executive director, Chief Human Capital Officers Council
Medina said the University of Maryland University College (UMUC) and Strayer University have approached the CHCO Council about the possibility of offering college credit for courses created by agencies. She hoped other educational institutions would follow.
Accrediting federal HR training "validates the training content as collegiate level," she said. "It's combining college level with OPM-approved and makes that training much more valuable."
The initiative still is in its early stages, Medina said. The council and interested educational institutions have not decided which classes employees can take to earn college credit. The goal of the collaboration with universities and colleges is to make human capital careers more attractive.
"There are numerous reports out there that talk about the HR pipeline or the lack thereof," she said. "The truth of the matter is we are going to have to recruit top talent into the federal government, and particularly into those HR professional careers. So this absolutely will help us get closer to that goal."
UMUC and Strayer University did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
A bigger HR University course catalog
The effort to add college credit for HR University courses is the latest development in the council's push to partner with colleges and universities.
Last year, the Catholic University of America began offering a human resources master's degree federal option through HR University. It also offers individual courses through the website.
Medina said the council is building out HR University by bringing on more courses both from private sector vendors and government agencies. The Office of the Director for National Intelligence, for example, plans to make available its large suite of performance management classes initially developed for internal use.
She said the ODNI courses will include training on communications and setting up performance management systems. They also will focus on skills for first-time supervisors and managers.
"I would estimate that when ODNI gets all of their courses uploaded onto HR University it will probably be the single most significant financial investment in HRU training by any agency," Medina said.

Comments about Mavic Plasma Helmet 2013:
Great helmet at a great price. Adjustment with the rear dial was all I needed for a perfect fit.
Good ventilation and nice padding that seems to wick away sweat from my eyes. I've had problems with other helmets not keeping sweat from running down my face, not with this lid.
Nice that this helmet includes spare padding and a sun visor if I ever want to use it.
Great price from JensonUSA.com too - nothing but great experiences with them.

Lauren Faust wrote in a comment on her DeviantArt page that the Everfree Forest is west of Ponyville, Sweet Apple Acres is southwest, and Fluttershy's cottage and meadow are located north of the farm, presumably between Ponyville and the forest. Canterlot is northeast of Ponyville. However, in subsequent interviews, both Faust and Jayson Thiessen mentioned that the geography and continuity of the show are loosely defined and may change as necessary,[2] and a layout artist stated on December 10, 2011 that the production team had no official map of Equestria at their disposal.[3]
The English word most similar to the placename Equestria is equestrian, "of or relating to horse riding", from the Latin equester, "belonging to a horseman", from equus, "horse", which is also the origin of equine. In this sense, "Equestria" would translate as "land of the horsemen" instead of "land of horses."
Depiction in the series
The founding of EquestriaThe story of the founding of Equestria is relayed in software, and part of this explanation is covered in Hearth's Warming Eve.
The episode's most prominent feature is a play about the founding of Equestria, narrated by Spike. He explains: "each of the three tribes, the Pegasi, the unicorns, and the Earth ponies, cared not for what befell the other tribes, but only for their own welfare. In those troubled times, as now, the Pegasi were the stewards of the weather, but they demanded something in return: food that could only be grown by the Earth Ponies. The unicorns demanded the same, in return for magically bringing forth day and night. And so, mistrust between the tribes festered, until one fateful day, it came to a boil. And what prompted the ponies to clash? It was a mysterious blizzard that overtook the land, and toppled the tribes' precarious peace."The blizzard led to famine, at which the three tribal leaders eventually agreed to meet for a summit and decide what to do about the snow, but this only devolved into arguing and blaming each other. The leaders of each tribe then decided to journey to a new land. They all arrived at the same place, and soon began fighting over it, and the blizzard quickly followed. "And so the paradise that the ponies had found was soon lost, buried beneath a thick blanket of snow and hard feelings." Eventually the leaders' assistants find out windigos are causing the storm by feeding off of hate. The assistants' friendship creates the magical Fire of Friendship which does away with the windigos and the snowstorm.
The three leaders then decide to join forces and found a country shared by all three tribes, and name it Equestria.
Discord's reign of chaosThe series starts off with a prologue with narration about the princesses ruling Equestria, raising the sun and moon and maintaining harmony. Only in The Return of Harmony Part 1 is the time before their rule mentioned in the series. Princess Celestia tells Twilight Sparkle and her friends that before Princess Luna and herself stood up to Discord, he ruled over Equestria, keeping it in a state of unrest and unhappiness. Celestia goes on to describe that, seeing how miserable life was for Earth ponies, unicorns, and Pegasi alike, she and Luna discovered the Elements of Harmony and rose up against Discord, turning him to stone. Discord's spell is later broken because, as Celestia explains, "Luna and [herself] are no longer connected to the elements", so Twilight and her friends use the Elements of Harmony to encase Discord in stone again.
The regal Alicorn sisters
The princesses are introduced in the prologue of the first episode, depicted in a series of medieval-like drawings with a narration that says "two regal sisters who ruled together and created harmony for all the land", and that "the eldest used her unicorn powers to raise the sun at dawn. The younger brought out the moon to begin the night."
Nightmare MoonThe narration continues: their subjects, the ponies, played in the day but "shunned" the night and slept through it, which made the younger unicorn grow bitter, eventually refusing to lower the moon to make way for the dawn. Her bitterness transformed her into a "wicked mare of darkness", Nightmare Moon. The elder sister reluctantly harnessed the power of the Elements of Harmony and banished her "in" the moon, taking responsibility for both sun and moon, maintaining harmony in Equestria. The events of the first and second episodes take place a thousand years after Nightmare Moon's imprisonment, upon which she is freed, but defeated again through the magic of the Elements of Harmony, only this time she is transformed back to her former self and returns to rule Equestria with her sister.
In Testing Testing 1, 2, 3, these events are referred to as The Great Celestia/Luna Rift.

Froggy Bottom BoggFroggy Bottom Bogg is featured in Feeling Pinkie Keen. Fluttershy relocates some frogs to the bog because of overpopulation. When Pinkie Pie gets an ominous premonition, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Spike and Pinkie Pie venture to the bog to make sure Fluttershy is okay. They come upon a hydra who chases them to a chasm which they cross in order to escape. The name is a reference to Foggy Bottom, a neighborhood in Washington DC.

Tenochtitlan BasinThe Tenochtitlan Basin is a region located in a remote part of Equestria, mostly marked by trees. It is featured in the episode Daring Don't.

Flame Geyser SwampThe Flame Geyser Swamp is a foggy swamp with flame geysers featured in Somepony to Watch Over Me. Apple Bloom goes there on her pie delivery and encounters a chimera which Applejack defeats and saves Apple Bloom.
Tartarus is first mentioned in It's About Time as a place where ancient, evil creatures are imprisoned, guarded by the three-headed dog Cerberus. The location is mentioned again in Twilight's Kingdom - Part 1, where Lord Tirek is stated to have been confined there for the attempted theft of Equestria's magic, but escaped during the events of the former episode. In Twilight's Kingdom - Part 2, Tartarus makes its first appearance when Tirek conjures a portal to banish Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadance there in revenge for his own imprisonment; and again when Twilight Sparkle and her friends return Tirek to Tartarus and free the princesses.Tartarus is based on the location of the same name in Greek mythology, being a deep, dark pit beneath the underworld where the wicked are condemned to eternal suffering. In It's About Time, Twilight Sparkle irregularly pronounces the name Tartarus as /tɑrˈtɑrəs/, while it is pronounced in its traditional form as /ˈtɑrtərəs/ in later episodes.
Our Town
- Main article: Our Town
This village, founded by Starlight Glimmer, is inhabited by various ponies, initially cutie unmarked and with rather insincere smiles. The village is visited by the Mane Six in the season premiere of season five when a magical map in Twilight's castle points them to this location.

Proposed structure: Filly Delphia.
Please use the talk page to discuss this change.
Fillydelphia is briefly mentioned by Princess Celestia in the episode Swarm of the Century. As an excuse for cancelling her visit to Ponyville, the Princess says she has to go to Fillydelphia in order to deal with an infestation of "incredibly bothersome creatures", presumably parasprites. It is mentioned again in A Friend in Deed as Cranky Doodle Donkey's previous residence. In It's About Time, it is mentioned when Rainbow Dash gives the report that nothing dangerous is coming from Fillydelphia all the way to Las Pegasus. In Hurricane Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash mentions that Fillydelphia broke the tornado wind speed record with a top speed of 910 wingpower. In Apple Family Reunion, Apple Bloom mentions that some of the RSVPs to the family reunion were sent from Fillydelphia, among other cities and locations.
Fillydelphia is also mentioned in Games Ponies Play. In Testing Testing 1, 2, 3, Applejack mentions Granny Smith discovering the first granny smith apple here when she was a filly, Fillydelphia is mentioned as one of the potential destinations for Rarity and her "Rariots" while she's under the influence of the inspiration manifestation spell in the episode of the same name.
Fillydelphia appears in My Little Pony: Friends Forever Issue #14. It is a mostly modernized city like Manehattan. It has an all-unicorn police force and a local population of domesticated dragons.
Lauren Faust, the show's creator, mentioned in a comment on DeviantArt that she wanted to name the main setting of the show Fillydelphia after Philadelphia where her family resides, but ultimately went with Ponyville. The city is also present on the official map.
Las Pegasus
Las Pegasus is mentioned in It's About Time. It is referenced when Rainbow Dash gives the report that nothing dangerous is coming from Fillydelphia all the way to Las Pegasus. The name is a play on Las Vegas according to the episode's writer M.A. Larson.[8] In the original version of the map, it was spelled "Los Pegasus", with an "Applewood" sign placed next to it, which implied a Los Angeles / Hollywood reference. It is present on the April 2013 version of the map under the name "Las Pegasus".
Baltimare is a city mentioned in It's About Time. It is referenced when Rainbow Dash gave a mini-report that a pegasus just came back from there, and there was no danger. The name is a play on the real life city called Baltimore. It is present on the official map of Equestria.
Hollow Shades
Mentioned in the episode Apple Family Reunion by Apple Bloom while she is rattling off town names. It is present on the official map of Equestria.
Galloping Gorge
Mentioned in the episode Apple Family Reunion by Apple Bloom while she is rattling off town names. It is present on the official map of Equestria.

Reason: this takes too much place here.
Please use the comment section to discuss this change.
Hoofington is a village mentioned by Trixie as the site of her alleged battle with an ursa; her story implies the town is near the Everfree Forest. The suffix -ington is derived from old English for "town". The name is quite similar to that of a political news website, The Huffington Post, and many cities named Huntington, the biggest being Huntington, New York.
Trottingham is mentioned in Stare Master, where Rarity is making 20 gold-lined gowns for ponies there, and later mentioned in Luna Eclipsed as Pipsqueak's previous residence. It is probably a portmanteau of 'Nottingham', an English city, and 'trot', a jogging speed for horses.
Saddle Arabia
Mentioned in the episode Magic Duel, Princess Celestia arrives in Ponyville with two representatives from this region. The name is a play on the real life desert region kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Mentioned in the episode Games Ponies Play by Ms. Peachbottom. In the episode, she tells Shining Armor that she is "just an ordinary wild mustang from Mustangia". The name 'Mustangia' is a play on the word 'mustang', a breed of wild horses.
Mentioned in the episode Three's A Crowd by Princess Cadance. The "caverns of Maretania" are said to be a place explored by Star Swirl the Bearded. The name is a play on Mauritania.
The duke and duchess of Maretonia appear in attendance of the Equestria Games in the episode of the same name. They appear again in Twilight's Kingdom - Part 1 and visit the Crystal Empire for a summit with Celestia, Luna, and Cadance. The name is a play on such names as Macedonia, Mauritania, or Estonia.

Don't tell a story; do describe specific instances from the work of fiction. edit this article
In the episode Equestria Games, a lot is revealed about the politics in Equestria.
PersonalitiesThe top tier of the stadium can be seen in one shot, and the following order of importance by place can be noticed (from left to right):
- In the first row, in personal thrones, the princesses Twilight Sparkle, Celestia, Luna, and Cadance (Shining Armor supervising the games in the stadium)
- In the second row, on stylish seats, the male and female delegates from Saddle Arabia, Prince Blueblood (with a different cutie mark than usual), and the Duchess and Duke of Maretonia.
- In the third row, without décor, Mayor Mare (from Ponyville), Fancy Pants (from Canterlot), Fleur Dis Lee (also from Canterlot, and usually seen with Fancy Pants), Cherry Jubilee (from Dodge Junction), and an unknown elder female pony, and an older unknown male pony.
- The rest of the personalities are seen outside of the top lodge, among these are found personalities from Canterlot, Ponyville, Appleloosa, as well as celebrities and family and friends of competitors.
RegionsA few regions take part in the Equestria Games. Among these participants, the few shown flags reveal the presence of Dodge Junction (flag also seen in The Last Roundup, the Griffon Kingdom (called as such in My Little Pony Micro-Series Issue #5), the Crystal Empire (host of the games), Cloudsdale, Appleloosa (flag also seen in Over a Barrel), Ponyville, and a few unidentified ones.
Participants count griffons, Ponyvillians, ponies from Cloudsdale (including three Wonderbolts), and at least two other teams, including one of Pegasi.
In My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Issue #5, Rainbow Dash evokes the idea that Equestria could launch an attack of "a million ponies" on the Nightmare Forces.
In My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Issue #5, Pinkie Pie says compares her friends' lack of perception to her and Rainbow's ideas to the hypothesis they'd use of the "cowhili" language.

Canterlot is the focus of a toy and merchandise line of the same name. This toy line has a logo featuring Twilight Sparkle and a description reading "CANTERLOT is the royal city in EQUESTRIA and home to PRINCESS CELESTIA. The princess lives in a magical castle.

Official map and other placesA poster which features an official map of Equestria was released on August 3, 2012.[12] According to the map, Equestria bears a very similar resemblance to North America, having most of the cities like Manehattan and Vanhoover located in the same places as their real-life counterparts.
The following places are present on the official map of Equestria but never featured in any other franchise's medium. From top left – North-West – to bottom right – South-East.
- Vanhoover
- The Frozen North; it is evoqued by Princess Celestia in the episode The Crystal Empire - Part 1, as the place where King Sombra was banished.
- Crystal Mountains, never mentionned, but supposedly seen around the Crystal Empire in the episodes The Crystal Empire - Part 2 and Games Ponies Play
- Neighagra Falls
- Unicorn Range
- Smokey Mountain
- "Saddle L." – Lake ?
- Rambling Rock Ridge
- Bogg – supposedly Froggy Bottom Bog
- Ruins – supposedly the ancient castle of the Royal Pony Sisters.
- Applewood, near Las Pegasus
- Hayseed Swamps
- Horseshoe Bay
- San Palomino Desert
- Macintosh Hills
- Badlands – When Queen Chrysalis is defeated by Shining Armor and Princess Cadance, she and a few of her changelings go flying in the direction of the Badlands as she vanishes from view (although the comics depict her landing beyond them)
The map is shown in Pinkie Pride during Cheese Sandwich's flashback in Cheese Confesses. A portion of the northwestern area of the map is also shown during Daring Don't. The full map appears again near the end of Twilight's Kingdom - Part 2, when the Rainbow Power is first used.
Promotional material
A New York Times ad mentions that the ponies who attend the Canterlot wedding in A Canterlot Wedding - Part 2 include residents of Appleloosa, Galloping Gorge, Fillydelphia, and Manehattan.[13]
A poll posted by The Hub's Facebook page focuses on Princess Cadance and Shining Armor choosing between Appleloosa, Galloping Gorge, Fillydelphia, Saddle Arabia and Manehattan as the location of their honeymoon.[14]
The My Little Pony Wedding Quiz section of Hasbro's Pony Wedding microsite describes the Crystal Empire as "cultured".
Comic book
Comic book issue #1's Cover F shows a signpost with seven signs, including ones for Canterlot, San Flanksisco, Manehattan, Seaddle, Whinnyapolis, and a city.[15]
In 'The Return of Queen Chrysalis Part 2', a full map of the area south of Macintosh Hills is shown at the back of the comic.
In the Reflections arc, an alternate universe's Equestria has a signpost with eight signs, including San Franciscolt, Bitsburgh, and Horsolulu.
The founding of Equestria is described in the iOS app Twilight Sparkle: Teacher for a Day and its Ruckus Reader version Twilight Sparkle's Special Lesson. The Pegasus, unicorn and Earth ponies did not live in harmony, their hearts were cold, and a blizzard overtook their land. Each group of ponies decided to find a new place to live, but they all arrived at the same new place, but the blizzard followed them. The ponies figured out there was only one way to get rid of the blizzard, to treat one another warmly. The unicorns used magic to build Canterlot, and once the city was finished, they invited the Pegasus and Earth ponies to a party, which became a yearly event called the Grand Galloping Gala.
In one of the comics in the German magazine, Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, and Spike journey through the Everfree Forest to a land outside of Equestria, where they find a field of barley and spend the evening with a stallion they befriend. The land outside of Equestria is completely different than inside. There are no unicorns or Pegasi, there is no magic, and nature takes care of itself.[16]
The underwater city of Aquastria, ruled by Princess Celestia's sea lion cousin King Leo, appears in the picture book My Little Pony: Under the Sparkling Sea.[17] It is an underwater city populated by seaponies and mermares, as well as other sentient sea creatures; in the book, the main characters visit the kingdom.[18] The seaponies are referred to as "cousins" of the land-based ponies.
The chapter book Daring Do and the Marked Thief of Marapore features the Tricorner Villages—three villages arranged in an equilateral triangle around the base of the volcano Mount Vehoovius. The individual villages are called Marapore, Ponypeii, and Lusitano.
The chapter book Daring Do and the Forbidden City of Clouds features the cloud city of Cirrostrata. It rests in the sky over the Unicorn Mountain Range, invisible from sight due to an ancient magic. The city is populated by a unique type of Pegasi with long rabbit-like ears and three vertical lines under one eye.

Dale Trumbore, originally a "Jersey Girl" but living in L.A. now, is yet another composer I know from the world of Twitter that has been making her mark on the world of new music during what seems like a renaissance of sorts. Along with a new album of art-song cycles titled Snow White Turns Sixty she is also about to have the New York premiere of her work for string quartet titled How It Will Go by ACME (The American Contemporary Music Ensemble). Dale even wrote her own article about the piece that was posted on Sequenza21. Having won numerous awards, grants (among them American Composer's Forum Subito and USC's Sadye J. Moss Composition Prize), and academic honors, besides composing, Dale has also been a teaching assistant at USC, and currently provides private piano instruction. She managed to find a window of solitude to talk to us. :) Continue reading

A very pleasant experience.
I want a musky, sweet vanilla, sex smell. How close is Kouros?
I went from hating musks to loving musks and think scents like Keihls musk are way too weak. I want a strong musky sex scent. Is Kouros a good blind buy? I loved Tom Fords Urban Musc. I love gourmands.
I won't get the package delivered until next week. I'm excited and can't wait to smell it! This is my first blind buy.
My hopes:
It has a musky sex smell
It has 10+ hours longevity
It has strong projection
Was this a good blind buy? Will I like Kouros?
A very pleasant experience.
Given what you said, yes a good blind buy. If you a looking for something stronger than Keihls (and perhaps sharing a quality or two with Kouros) I'd bet you'll like it. I don't get a predominant musky vibe with Kouros; rather, it's quite mossy, leathery and incense once it settles down. I've only got the vintage Kouros so things might be different with the current incarnation.
I see you have Urban Musk... have you checked out MR and MKK? With those I'd suggest you also try some Chaps Original. And, if you wanna be a mad man about it, check out some Ajmal Musk Gazelle Grade AA. I don't know if it gets any stronger than that.

You'll probably like it. Now, if you had said I like things like La Nuit de L'Homme and Acqua di Gio, what can I expect from Kouros, I'd be more concerned.
It seems a bit strange you didn't check before you bought it but whatever. Kouros is definitely not sweet vanilla, but you should get many hours of serious projection. Impossible to say if you will like it or not, but I will guess yes, in a big way.
A decent frag!
You can expect a parcel!
You may end up smelling like a urinal all day.
I admire your courage.
Blind-Buying Kouros is a ballsy move.
If you like Insence, Honey, and Groin-sweat, then you'll have found a good match.
LOL.. please report your experience once your package arrives.
I never liked it and got a used bottle off ebay, it is nice. Distinctive! Cat Piss for sure but that does go.
You can expect a massive forearm to spring out of the box and jack you in the jaw. Like the old SNL "Coldcock Malt Liquor" ad.
I bought it blind a couple years ago and it is fantastic! Smells like honey and hot buttered rum. Delicious!
Headacche, nausea, vomiting, cough, eye irritation, blistering, dizziness, convulsions...
I'm kidding of course. It's a powerhouse, for sure, and tends to polarize opinion but I happen to think it's quite impressive.
My dad used to wear it when I was much younger and I have pleasant memories. My brother owns a bottle now and it smells fantastic on him. I tried it, and sadly, I got the dreaded urinal vibe. I didn't scrub it off right away, hoping it would settle down but it didn't really work for me. I'm actually scared to try it again.
My brother and I have very different skin types. I hope it works for you because when it does, it's truly wonderful.
Expect to be disappointed, then mad.
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
One that have a good taste will like it.
The horror! The horror!
Kurt smells like Teen Spirit
If that doesn't work out, Maharanih by Parfums de Nicolaï is one I suggest sampling.

Unadulterated filth.
Is it the older formulation or the newer stuff with the white trim?
Having smelled both, I can tell you that the newer stuff has less of the urinuous note, and I get a bit more bergamot and yes, a bit more vanilla (I don't really get any vanilla from the previous formulation).
I never get to the honey drydown. It seriously smells like a nasty urinal on me for hours and hours. I feel like people are looking at me trying to decide if I just lost control of my bladder or if I stole a soiled pair of pants from a homeless bum.
I really wanted this one to work for me.
I love kouros but I'm not sure if you'll like it.... it smells like unwashed balls in a new pair of boxers with a dried streak mark of feces...

2. Serge Lutens - Muscs Koublai Khan

"A beautiful fragrance to the nose is like good jazz music to the ears, great food to the mouth, and Megan Fox and Jessica Alba to the eyes..."
I got a vintage mini bottle and wore it for the first time last week. I decided to do something daring, so I splashed it on right before dinner. I was immediately thrilled because it did not smell at all revolting....wow, another great masculine floral!!! So unique!
So, the dinner went well, however I sense that one of the three at the table was not pleased. I know you are not supposed to wear loud perfume to dinner, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
I cannot stand Kouros. I simply can't abide it.
It ranks alongside Secretions Magnifiques as the only other fragrance that repulses me.
I love it and hope you do, too. As others have said, though, sweet vanilla is NOT in Kouros's DNA. It's hot sex in the men's room all the way. I wish new designer fragrances were this good, and this willing to take risks.
You can expect 1982. Bottled.

You can expect a headache... If you are looking for a musky sexy sweet vanilla you should have bought body kouros IMO.
Not a gourmand at all. A one spray scent. Wear it low on your body, like below the belt...or your ankles. Spray it on the your chest, and you'll be overwhelmed. I like the fragrance, but the opening in very challenging. It's only "piss and urinals" in the beginning, but the dry-down is very nice. Furry and bestial!
It arrives tomorrow. I hope it is the old formula and not the new bottle!
I want a strong Kouros, not a watered down Kouros that takes 10 sprays.
Even fragrances that take 3 sprays for most people take 10 on me to last all day. It makes buying fragrances more expensive. I hope I get the strong long lasting projecting Kouros with all the dirty notes.
It would be nice to own something where 3 sprays projects and lasts all day.
Vintage Kouros rocks
one of the best designer masculines that money can buy...
Discover my Guest Reviewer Of The Day here
It's almost here.
Tomorrow morning it will arrive.
I am excited and can't sleep!
Can someone describe what the first spray will smell like?
Vintage Kouros rocks
TOP 3 hot weather:
1. Gucci Pour Homme II
2. Lalique Encre Noire
3. Creed Millesime Imperial
TOP 3 cold weather:
1. Dior Homme
2. Eau Des Baux
3. L'Instant de Guerlain Pour Homme Extreme
I don't have a signature fragrance. My signature changes a little bit every day, why shouldn't my fragrance?
Kouros is "The Paradigm" of Scents. It's reportedly indicated as the proof that every nose is different from another, because
50% of people will say "it's the heaven in a smell"; the other 50% , on the contrary, "horrendous".
Don't wait for answers from other people; only your nose will answer you.
In my opinion, the vintage Kouros is one of the best masculines ever produced. The modern one is still similar during first minutes, but with less longevity and sillage.
If you grab a vintage bottle, keep it with you, in any case you'll have a piece of perfume history.
whether you love it or hate it, blind buying Kouros is a bold move! Definitely a polarizing scent, good luck with it, and hopefully you will be one of the people who can pull it off.
Dear Smellgood4u. You seem excited, as you should be, regarding your purchase of Kouros. The scent has incredible longevity, era-correct construction, and more character than a starving West Coast voice actor terrorizing a talent agency. I will do well by telling you my take on this much-maligned classic.
Kouros earned a bad reputation for being overly bold and the antithesis of mellow. This reputation had much grease thrown on the fire during the mid 1990's when "shiny, happy" scents began to appear with promises of aquatic notes and fresh florals. Scents like Santos by Cartier, Obsession by Calvin Klein, and Pour Lui by Oscar De La Renta were deemed "demon piss" while demure olfactory happy-faces like Aqua Di Gio, CK-One, and L'eau D'Issey earned praise and accolades (along with gaining sales) for providing an experience much akin to a good day in the laundry room. Splendid. Let's time trip back a little over two decades and join our unsuspecting protagonist, shall we?
Picture the scene: Marshall Field's Orland Square Mall location, first floor, men's fragrance counter. Our friend is perusing the selection of scents when he realizes that the same company who makes a newer scent he really likes has an offering from an earlier time. He looks at the styled white bottle, emblazoned with the word "KOUROS" and decides, "...never tried this. I'll give it a spin." *spritz* As the scent settles on the top of his hand, he notices a sharp presentation, much like a ladies scent. He gives it a minute before resigning to wash the attempt from his hand, and notices the sharpness fold into a floral impression, which then gives way to something resembling candy. What th.....? HONEY? Are you serious?? Strange, but not a sticky smell. Sweet, for sure, but after minutes....evolving. Some thirty minutes later, the young man still has the sample of the scent on his hand, but now the florals and honey have faded to a light shadow, and the scent of wood has taken over. Not a rich, opulent, milled type of wood, but rather something that resembles.....sawdust. Clearly the smell of a seriously abused type of wood. More time passes and the scent has been on for almost an hour. The young man, still quite new to the concept of fragrance and still lacking cultivated patience, discounts the presentation of the unique scent and goes over 15 years before revisiting it again.
The young man we speak of here is me. After this attempt at Kouros, I smirkingly regarded the scent as "Sawdust and Honey", and believe you me, once I came aboard Basenotes some 8 years ago, I was surprised and befuddled at why people referred to it as "The Urinal Cake Scent". I'm sorry, I get no "pee note" from YSL's Kouros. I can see where there may be something PERCEIVED as a "pee note", given then florals, spices and honey may react strangely on one's skin. It was about 8 years ago I revisited Kouros, and guess what. No peepee. No whizzy. No toilette. Sawdust and Honey? You bet, still there, still wearing mullets, Cavaricci slacks, and boat shoes with no socks. What gets me is that I have met people who have had a wonderful, woody scent on their person, almost like a green forest. I ask them which scent it is they are wearing and the respond, "...Oh, this is an older scent...came out many years ago. It's called Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent."
So what does the Great White Hype hold in store for you, smellgood4u? I am not sure, but my wish to you is that YSL's perennial powerhouse finds much harmony on your skin, and even though it may not fulfill your wishes to a tee, I hope the scent works well on you and for you, and that you never have a dull time wearing it. It's hard being someone in a group who is in a middle ground on a scent so polarizing (I do not hate Kouros, but I don't feel the need to really own it. To me, it's OK), but you know what? It's also a lot of fun. I get to stir the pot, and stay emotionally detached as well.
Enjoy, sir! I hope it works out wonderfully for you!

In case you're living under a rock, Pinterest is all the rage these days. Especially if you're a female between the ages of 25-44, but men seem to be jumping on board in large numbers lately as well (My husband initially lamented my signing up, and then two weeks later he joined himself). According to tracking from Hitwise, Pinterest recently made the list of the top 10 social networking sites, with 11 million unique monthly users. From June to December 2011, Pinterest's users grew 40 times over, which is unbelievable growth.
Pinterest has been described by some as "blogging on steroids". Others see it as a collection of "things". For me though, Pinterest is all about ideas. It isn't so much about the "things"- items to purchase or things like that. Sure, there are some of those, but really where I've benefitted the most have been through ideas. Here is a list of just a few of the ideas I've gained from Pinterest that I've actually done that have benefitted me in some way or another (you can follow my boards here):
- How to easily remove the crud from my showerhead with household products, and no scrubbing! This one still makes me happy.
- How to actually style my hair in a somewhat creative way and ideas for new haircuts
- Recipes, recipes, recipes!
- Workouts that I should probably do a lot more often…(but I have done some of them!)
- Little ways to entertain my toddler on a daily basis
- Multiple ideas for this here blog
- Etc., etc., etc.
Frequently, Pinterest has replaced Google for me when I need an idea. Need a creative recipe for the holiday party? Pinterest. Need to figure out how to organize your basement? Pinterest. Need a new workout routine? Or to find the best learning apps to download for your kids? Or what to do with that big blank wall in your house? Or figure out where to take your next vacation? Pinterest every time, man.
The beauty of it too, is unlike using a search engine, once you find your idea you can pin it to specific "boards", where the pin and link to the actual website will be stored and you can forever refer back to it, with a handy-dandy image to remind you of what exactly it was. Gone are the days where I'd create ridiculously long lists of urls that I've bookmarked, or Word documents full of images to act as inspiration for some upcoming project or event. And even better, by following like-minded people I can easily come across these ideas without even having to search for them.
I'm telling you, it's addictive.
So, is Pinterest perfect? No. There are some things that could probably be improved, which I'm sure we'll see over time. But holy smokes, I'm hooked.
What about you? Do you use Pinterest? What do you use it for?

Francois Louw will fight a lone battle to limit the Australians, but it won't be enough for a Bok victory.
Louw is the most improved of the Springboks in the last 12 months. He is as good, if not better, than Michael Hooper as an out and out fetcher, but he also contributes more generally than Hooper.
Neither yet has the all-round influence of All Blacks captain Richie McCaw, but when it comes to fetcher on fetcher two of the game's best will be on display in Brisbane.
There is healthy respect between the two camps, but as I've written all week I think the balance of respective loose-trios favours Australia.
I also think the Australians will get enough phase ball from the lineout to be effective. Their scrum is poor and took a beating against the All Blacks. I believe they will struggle as much in the scrums against the Springboks.
It is the only area of the game I see a significant Bok advantage and the lineout strength of both teams is on a par.
South Africa isn't as dominant in the lineout without the likes of Victor Matfield and Andries Bekker, especially when contesting.
The Boks will always bring physicality to the contest but I'd have like to have seen a selection, less physical but more mobile for this specific match-up.
Quade Cooper and Will Genia, as a combination, will be effective in Brisbane and expect Israel Folau to have an influence.
I have Louw to play a big game, but I also have the Wallabies winning by 7, possibly as much as 10 points.
Check out SA Rugby Mag's Jon Cardinelli's preview. Cardinelli is in Brisbane with the Boks.

Local Navy cadets traded their drill rifles for squeegees last week in an act of community pride.
A dozen members of the NJROTC program at Havelock High School washed, sprayed and swept Havelock's aging Commercial Shopping Center last week in preparation for a new paint job.
"I think it's awesome for them to be coming out here to volunteer," said Cynthia George, owner of Akiko's Alterations, one of six businesses that lease spaces in the 1950s-era shopping center at the corner of Jaycee Street and Cunningham Boulevard.
"This used to be the happening place. It used to be very busy here. In the '80s, there was a lot of night life here. I remember when it had the IGA and when there was a movie theater here."
The students went from one end of the complex to the other spraying and scrubbing windows, brushing away cob webs and generally cleaning up the façade.
"I think it's wonderful," said Venitah Coffelt, owner of About Face Salon.
Salon patron Betty Chaney, of Havelock, remembered when the shopping center was the only thing happening in Havelock.
"I came here back in 1952," Chaney said. "It was a thriving shopping center back in the '50s."
Besides the grocery store and theater, the shopping center had a barber shop, the U.S. Post Office, a bank, a bakery, a pharmacy and a florist, she said.
"This was a jumping place. I worked in the bakery for a while," Chaney said.
One reason the shopping center did so well was that there was a U.S. government housing complex occupied by base military personnel and their families next door, she said. That's been gone for years now and the shopping center has steadily seen less business.
Coffelt said those driving on East Main Street simply don't know the complex is there.
"It has the potential for a lot of life," Coffelt said. "People don't know we're back here."
Phyllis Mento, owner of Mento Real Estate Services, another renter in the shopping center, organized the cleanup.
"We wanted to get it painted and it had to be cleaned before it can be painted," she said.
Mento gave the NJROTC a $200 donation, but the young military men and women said they would have come out to help anyway.
"We're here to support the community and promote citizenship," said Cadet Donald McLaughlin. "It makes me feel like we're doing a really great thing."
Cadet Commander Megan Grussing led the group.
"It is going to better the community, which is always a good thing," Grussing said. "It's also a good opportunity for the junior cadets to get some community service hours."
George said her husband would paint the building after the cleanup and other preparations were complete.
"It's going to be a couple of shades darker than the trim under the windows, then later dark gray and beige," she said.
No matter what color, Coffelt likes the changes.
"We're just so happy that somebody is taking an interest in this old place," Coffelt said.
