Rum and Blond Tobacco! Sounds promising.
Thread: New Fragrance: Joop! Homme Wild
From nstperfume.com:
Joop! will launch Joop! Homme Wild, a new flanker to 1989′s Joop! Homme, in August:
Sometimes, you know youve got to be bad.
Bad boys get all the fun. They get the sexiest girls, the fastest cars and the thrills of adventure. They cross the line to walk on the wild side. They live free. So from time to time, you need to let go, to give in to temptation. Get a bike. Slip on a shredded pair of jeans and a black leather jacket. And wear a whiff of the new JOOP! HOMME WILD.
[...] JOOP! HOMME WILD is even more daring than its forerunner. It is also more openly seductive and was designed for the wild boy hiding inside each of us. The JOOP! HOMME WILD man is not afraid to stand out, to assert himself. He is a rebel, hence a seducer.
Developed by perfumer Aliénor Massenet, JOOP! HOMME WILD is an oriental fougère fragrance with many contrasts. It is built around a strong heart note of absolute rum. Seldom used in perfumery, it gives this fragrance a dark and luminous quality that perfectly expresses the strong and rebellious nature of the perfume. Absolute rum also brings an intoxicating and addictive touch of wild attraction.
A hot and vibrant base note of woody blond tobacco, brings warmth and sensuality to the Rum. and gives JOOP! HOMME WILD a velvety softness. In contrast with this voluptuousness, the sparkling top notes of pink pepper add a very dynamic and masculine touch.
Joop! Homme Wild will be available in 30, 75 and 125 ml Eau de Toilette.

Rum and Blond Tobacco! Sounds promising.
I'm throwing money at the screen but nothing is happening.
"I am a robot and I like cheese"
Top 5:
1. Axe Kilo
2. Lectric Shave
3. Vicks Vapor Rub
4. Febreze Pour Homme
5. Preferred Stock
I assume they mean rum absolute. Ah, Germans.
Be bad.
Get a bike.
(Best advise ever to be given by a commercial. ROFLMAO)
Tobacco, rum, pink pepper.. Actually sounds like it could be a winner.. Problem is Coty.
Joop! WILD ???????
I think all citizens will awake when you're putting it on.
" In a world of 1s and 0s...are you a zero, or The One? "
Any info on when this will be available in the UK?
Pass on this one.
Perhaps this will finally be a proper bad boy scent (unlike milkmaid scents like Dirty English and Sex Pistols who had been falsely advertised as such). I can't wait to unleash the Joop! Homme Wild man.
Joop is such a love it/hate it fragrance anyway, I wonder if this will remove some the polarization that it has created? I am optimistic, but not foolish.
Holds some promise, thanks for the heads up.
Sounds good but that bottle is ridiculous ...I know I know we don't wear the bottle
"JOOP! HOMME WILD is even more daring than its forerunner."
This line scares me.
Sounds like a twist that is similar to that of the Ck One series i.e. Ck One Shock
Ridiculous name. I'll pass on "Girls Gone Wild" The Fragrance.

I'll be buying it just from this description alone.
Joop flankers just keep getting better and better - Thrill, Go, Electric Heat, Hot Contact - masterpieces, all of them.
They even went subtle with Splash!
This sounds kinda ....good. I think I gotta go back and read some of those reviews for the Joop! Homme flankers. My main issue with them is that they always seem to be out of stock or never around to buy.
Seeking: Bottles/decants : of Alain Delon Iquitos, Feeling Man, Gucci pour Homme, Essence of John Galliano, Opium pour Homme, Oxford & Cambridge, Azzaro pour Homme (vintage), Concentré D'Orange Verte...etc.
Seeking decant/sample of Jil Sander Feeling Man, Comme des Garcons 2 Man, Giorgio VIP, ....etc. I have samples to swap.
More HERE
Please PM me !
Definitely interested in this. Always been curious about their flankers but have been unable to test any, so I'm hoping it makes it stateside and becomes readily available.

-Vladimir Nabokov
Juvenile bottle. I hope the juice is nice.
keeping an eye out for this. Keeping with the legacy this one should pack a punch
Damn The original is "bad" anough in its right. Can't wait to smell this one Joop! fan here
Wild sounds better than Extreme or Intense.
Sounds great, Joop + Rum. Score for me.
Interesting blend of notes in this one. I may just purchase this blindly as I hardly ever see any of their flankers in stores.
Yet another flanker from Joop. Can't they create a new original fragrance instead of a flanker to a fragrance that came out 23 years ago?
Any guesses on how much this will cost in dollars?
Even more daring and distinctive than Joop !?? ... Oh HELL, that means it's bound to be near nuclear then. (Something like the sort of fragrance 'Giger's Alien' might wear, for example. (LOL)
STILL, I do think the notes do sound quite promising & I am tentatively intrigued.
(Plus I do kinda have a thing for "purple". *blush* ~ [& yes 'teerose' I am indeed a real man - at least the last time I checked.])
Plus I'll bet it's going to be an even more hardcore luv\hate humdinger than "Joop!-The-Timid".

"The earth laughs in flowers" - (E.E.Cummings)
I really get the feeling that, sometime around Halloween, I will stumble across this for sale while drunk and online and impulse buy it. I know that when I'm hammered and full of Halloween spirit I won't be able to resist that skull graphic, tombstone grey cap, and purple (my favorite color!) bottle.
I'm still waiting...
Where do Joop! flankers normally retail?
Joop has always been close to my heart. Wore it in the 80's and 90's. Don't wear it often nowadays but I still think it is great despite all the talk about it being synthetic, etc. Can't wait to take a sniff of the new juice.
now we're talking!
I love joop but I almost never like flankers from any house they just don't do it for me there is an original for a reason, but this intrigues me
I love the crazy pink bottle Joop! Homme has. This bottle is just mank. Still, how do you make a 'wild' version of something so wildly insane? Joop! Homme is already a wild version of Joop! Homme. Honestly I think they're going to tone it down. I'm still going to buy it to frighten my fiance. She hates waiting for the drydown on the original stuff.
If it really is a wild version though how the hell are we supposed to store it? The original is already locked away in my 'quarantine box,' and shoved up the back of my wardrobe so it doesn't invade my entire room with it's all-encompassing effluvia which it somehow does whenever I leave it out, even capped and boxed. Maybe I'm just too old to own a bottle with a cartoon skull on it.
I thought Joop!Homme was already a wild beast!
Where is Joop! Homme Intense? I've been long awaiting its release.
This sounds promising. I love the original Joop!, but I get a very...old-school feel out of it.
Joop! Homme Sport
Joop! Homme Nuit (featuring Oud)
And finally Joop! Homme Intense
But seriously, I am looking forward to this. Hopefully it is actually as strong (if not stronger) than the original.
Just hurry up and be in stores.
I just don't think that a scent with the power of Joop Homme will be made in these times let alone by Coty Prestige. I think they meant the note blast will be strong but not longevity or sillage....
Think about ..if that was the case of being a strong scent the price of this fragrance would be a $100 USD a bottle to make up for the lack of sales because a bottle last you so long. That is why Mugle's Angel for women is so much $$$ for less then a ounce while Amen you could get two large bottles for that price.
As much as I hate what you are saying I agree. Maybe it will be a sleeper, the 1 Million fans will keep dousing and people will see this as too tacky to try (ironic).
It never bothered anyone in the 80's when scents were so strong that 1 spray would clear out a building. I read somewhere (here I think) that frags for men were stronger to compete with women's or something.
@Vortex: Sick guitar man. Those pickups almost look active, I know they aren't but yeah
I always wished JOOP HOMME was from a niche house that only frag heads knew about lol - guilty pleasure
Top 5
1. Gucci PH2
2. Aventus
3. Armani Privé Rose D'arabie
4. Creed GIT
5. Dior Homme/Intense
Current swap list found here ... http://tinyurl.com/9udvk8q
I might have missed it but has there been a release date set for this yet?
"Geez, when are the 'We love Aventus' T-shirts coming out?"
(Possum-Pie, 2012)
I think I'll pass.
Rum is kind of interesting...
The bottle must be producing sound of starting Harley Davidson when you apply the scent
Regards, Odor.
I'll buy this if it´s already in the freeshop at the aeroport
Read that it will be available around September 16th, according to an online retailer who plans to carry the frag.
It is available in Germany I just don't understand why none of our German members have reported back
you can also call it Joop! Homme Nice. Opening note is quite sweet, rum, tobacco... strongly reminds me of ck one Shock. Drydown is nice, nothing special or wild. I prefer the original.

How is the longevity and projection?
It smells a little sweet, a little cool, a little dry... a very common scent. It stays quite strong on my skin, more than 7hours.
The hunt for a Signature Fragrance is not an easy one! I see the light at the end of the tunnel! Edit: 2015... I've given up and given in

A sex act in which a woman on her period and her male partner (must be a jew) defecate into her vagina, followed by the partner giving oral sex to the woman until climax at which point the woman ejaculates a mixture of menstrual blood and human feces onto her partner's face. The partner then has the fecal menstrual blood licked off his/her face. Essentially a combination of the Alabama Hot Pocket and the Tuna Melt, variations of the Alabama Tuna Melt have been traced back to Ancient Rome. Contrary to popular thought, revisionist historians have found that Cleopatra did not die of a snake bite, but rather died of an infection as a result of performing a variation of the Alabama Tuna Melt with Mark Anthony.

Comments about Eastern Thunderbird Bike 2013:
The only serious thing I dislike about this build is the front fork. It has a bizzare preload system that requires a coin to adjust. The manual that comes with the fork is pretty much completely useless as it is poorly written and not specific to the fork. I've also noticed that the covers that protect the bearings in the wheels have a habit of coming loose and falling off. I have almost lost one on two occasions and the wheels do not fit the fork without them. The quick release on the front fork is questionable, and I'm not entirely sure if I trust it. The frame itself is fun and everything else on the bike is nice for dirt jumping and mild single track.

Comments about Eastern Thunderbird Bike 2013:
I got this bike mainly for dirt jumping and it is perfect for it. suspension is very good has great rebound and helps for with dirt jumping and when you over jump. the tire treads are perfect for dirt,(don't ride fast on wet tarmac and brake you will skid off) the tires are good for everything else, iv had the bike for 4 mouths and the pedals are still in good condition only just changed the grips but the grips still have life in them for a lot longer, i have done dirt jumping on the bike and it perfect , i have done downhill but only in a wet pine forest which was slippery and only having rear break meant i couldn't slow down super well but would be good downhill if dry, the gear ratio is perfect for all round riding as i have also taking my bike on a BMX track and its super smooth and hit the jumps well and i have done some mountain bike riding as well which the thunderbird is great at, were i live there is a long walk way along the beach and its great to cruise on if you just want to chill and do nothing crazy, the seat on this bike is so nice to sit on, if your watching mates jump or cruising, its the best bike seat iv ever had!!, the brakes are good, they have saved me a couple of times when you need to pull out of a jump and to slow down if your going to fast, the wheels can nearly spin forever so you can just keep going after a hill, all together i recommend the Eastern Thunderbird, if your looking in on getting this bike then you so should, 5 out of 5!!

We're proud to be headquartered in Oklahoma City for many reasons, and you can expect to hear more from us on this topic. Here's one of the quirkier reasons: Our city is ranked in the top 10 by MoneyUnder30.com as attractive for the YBS—young, broke, and single. Though we may rank high, our unemployment rate is actually well below the national average and employment prospects are good in many sectors, including info-tech, aerospace, health care, professional services, and, yes, energy. There's lots to do in Bricktown , Norman, and nearby Edmond as well. And our low cost of living makes it all affordable—minor league baseball, museums, restaurants of every stripe, microbreweries, and aquatic pursuits. We enjoy an average yearly temperature of 72 (between tornados). Come visit our fair city, and while you're here, come see us on Film Row. We would love to give you a tour of our new offices and perhaps introduce you to another YBS at the Film Row District's third Friday event—Premiere.

As fall allergies heighten, influenza is just around the corner.
September or October is the time to act on prevention by getting a flu shot.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, influenza, or the flu, is a contagious respiratory illness that spreads from droplets through coughing, sneezing and talking. It can also stem from touching objects contaminated by the virus and then touching the eyes, nose or mouth where it invades the body and produces discomforting symptoms.
"It's in the air by people spraying it by sneezing or coughing," said Ginger Raines, Lenoir County Health Department's immunization nurse.
It may be associated with fever and chills. Other symptoms can include coughing, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, fatigue and possibly vomiting and diarrhea, which is more common in children, according to the CDC.
It's important to note," said Krissy Hoover, Lenoir Memorial Hospital's infection preventionist, "sometimes you don't get a fever with the flu."
Anyone can get the flu, but young children, pregnant women, the elderly and anyone with a reduced immunity has a higher risk of complications from the flu. That includes people with asthma, heart disease, diabetes and other diseases.
The flu can lead to more serious illnesses, such as bacterial pneumonia, dehydration, ear and sinus infections and worsened medical conditions and, in severe cases, death can result.
"It's really serious," Raines said, "because for the elderly, their immune system is down and for children, they haven't built up an immunity."
The duration may be as long as two weeks without further complications. An individual exposed to the virus can be contagious for more than a week, even the day before symptoms start.
Hoover said a person must be fever-free without the use of fever-reducers for 24 hours before they are considered non-contagious.
There are some simple measures that can reduce a person's chance of getting or spreading the virus.
"Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth," Hoover said, "and wash your hands."
Health officials also say to cough into your elbow, sleeve or tissue and throw the tissue in the trash. Disinfect items that are touched frequently, like door knobs and keyboards. And get a flu shot early in the season.
Between 135 million and 139 million doses of influenza vaccine are being produced for the 2013-14 flu season for ages 6 months and older, according to the CDC.
People who care for others who have a high risk of developing complications from the flu should be vaccinated as early as possible.
"It takes a couple of weeks," Hoover said, "for your body to produce protective antibodies."
This season's flu shots contain two Influenza A virus strains — H1N1 and H3N2, and one or two influenza B viruses. The vaccinations are not live strains, so they will not cause a person to get the flu.
"It's important to get vaccinated annually," said Amy Crompton, Jones County Health Department's health education specialist, "… because the flu vaccine changes every year."
People who are severely allergic to eggs, have had a severe reaction to the vaccine before, are sick with a fever or have a history or Guillain-Barré syndrome should not get a flu shot.
But most people ages 6 months and older can get a flu shot each year. A high-dose vaccine may be recommended for people ages 65 years and older.
Healthy people between the ages of 2-49 may choose to get a nasal spray vaccine called a live attenuated influenza vaccine, or LAIV. Despite its name, it does not cause the flu.
The flu season generally begins around October, depending on the weather, and ends around May.
Jones County's health department won't have the vaccination until mid-October, Crompton said. To be placed on a waiting list, call 252-448-9111 during business hours starting on Oct. 1.
"We (will) have both the flu shots and flu mist," Crompton said. The mist is a once-annual preventive measure just like the shot with one spray in each nostril, she added.
Margaret Fisher can be reached at 252-559-1082 or email@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @MargaretFishr.

Oil prices lower despite Iran's best efforts
IRAN'S ability to rattle oil markets has been greatly diminished by growing concerns about the world economy. The price of oil fell this week even though Iran staged missile tests and renewed threats to block key oil shipments out of the Arabian Gulf.
Benchmark US crude dropped by $2.77, or 3.2 percent, on Friday to end the week at $84.45 per barrel in New York. Iran sparked a big price increase earlier this year as it sparred with the West over its nuclear programme. When Iran held military exercises in the Gulf at the beginning of the year, oil prices climbed more than 4 percent. Fears about a prolonged conflict, and what that would do to world oil supplies, eventually drove benchmark oil to near $110 per barrel in February.
The jump helped push U.S. gasoline prices close to $4 per gallon. Five months later the US and Europe are still concerned about Iran building a nuclear weapon and have numerous economic sanctions in place to pressure the oil-rich country to limit its nuclear programme. Iran still refuses to comply. The difference, experts say, is that investors are now focusing on growing evidence that the global economy is slowing. The US isn't creating enough jobs to lower its 8.2 percent unemployment rate. Europe has struggled to handle a festering banking crisis and some countries are slipping into recession.
Manufacturing activity has stalled almost everywhere. "Iran is still trash talking, but what's even more frightening is the bigger picture," said Tom Kloza, publisher and chief oil analyst at Oil Price Information Service. "The economy just hasn't looked good. There's a sense that this malaise will march on." And Barclays analyst Helima Croft said the rhetoric out of Iran this week may simply be an attempt to boost the price of its oil. "For now, this looks like a rather hollow threat," Croft said. Traders read more troubling economic headlines on Friday. The Labour Department said US employers added just 80,000 jobs in June, a disappointing number that shows the economy is still sluggish three years after the recession ended.
Meanwhile, borrowing rates for Spain and Italy rose to distressing levels because investors think more needs to be done to resolve Europe's debt crisis. The US is the world economy slows, less oil is consumed and prices tend to fall. Brent crude, which helps set the price of imported crude used to make gasoline, fell by $2.51, or 2.5 percent, to end the day at $98.19 per barrel in London. Natural gas futures fell after the government said the nation's supply grew last week.
Natural gas in storage hit an all-time high at the end of last year and has stayed well above average so far this year. The surplus is shrinking, however, as utilities burn more natural gas to generate power. And power demand will grow this summer as homes and businesses crank up their air conditioners with record heat gripping much of the nation. The price of natural gas fell 17 cents to finish at $2.78 per 1,000 cubic feet in New York. In other futures trading, heating oil fell by 6 cents to end at $2.71 per gallon, and gasoline futures gave up 5 cents.

Arabs are Persians are pretty much the same outside of language, so who cares if its referred to as the Turkish Gulf.
Iran does not control the price of oil. The price of oil and gasoline is determined by those who manipulate and the control the crude oil futures markets, namely, the IntercontinentalExchange (ICE), ICE Futures Europe and the NYMEX, and the oil price is not decided by Obama, Iran, OPEC, global oil demand, global oil prices, global oil markets, Libya, refinery fires, Spanish banks, the Euro Zone, Saudi Aramco,Inc., the laws of supply and demand and so on.
It is very stupid of you to refer to the body of water south of Iran by any name other than the Persian gulf. It will always be Persian, you can like it or lump it.

Emma Black was all smiles for her daddy Friday morning.
Lance Cpl. Christopher Black was among more than 150 Marines to return to Camp Lejeune with Fox Company, 2nd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment after a seven-month deployment to Afghanistan.
His wife, Lauren Black, 22, said the couple's first deployment went easier than expected.
"I just fell into a rhythm and I had a great support system," she said, explaining that she and Emma, 7 months old, went to live with her mom and his grandparents in Virginia during the deployment.
She recently returned to Jacksonville to prepare their house, where his favorite meal of pot roast was waiting.
Capt. Andrew D. Nicholson, company commander, said homecoming is a day the Marines looked forward to 10 months ago when they got the mission.
Nicholson's family, including his 3-year-old daughter Riley who had a birthday while her dad was deployed, was waiting for him. It was all he wanted.
"I can't think of a better way to end a hard deployment than having family waiting," he said.
The company brought all their Marines home, though they did see a few men injured.
"It's always tough to deal with," Nicholson said.
The Marines completed operations daily in Helmand Province including security patrols.
Among the injured Marines was Pfc. Duncan Mathis, who fell in a 75-foot hole and broke his legs, arms and shoulder.
Mathis' mom, Theresa Mathis, was waiting with his best friend's parents for their son.
"Our theme has been 'til they all come home.' It's been great having him home but it's hard knowing the rest of them are in danger," Theresa said while waiting with Christina Rodriguez and Andres Rodriguez.
This was the first deployment for Lance Cpl. Andres Rodriguez Jr., his mother said.
"It's been a long deployment but we have several guys coming home so we're very lucky," Christina Rodriguez said adding that her son and Mathis met early in the enlistment process and have spent their military careers together.
"You could say it was the Marines that brought them together as friends and now they're family," the elder Andres Rodriguez said.
The two men bring their friends home to the Wilson area regularly, their parents said, and the Marines have become like family to them all.
Rodriguez's fiancée, 18-year-old Meredith Vester, of Nashville, said the couple has been friends since they were 6. They decided to move up their wedding date to Dec. 14 because Rodriguez decided during the deployment he didn't want to wait.
Vester said she's looking forward to spending time with him and "being able to sleep peacefully without having to worry."

On another thread, Vic M said that the most important question of all time is, "where did the universe and all it contains come from?" I say he is wrong. The most important question imo: "Is there one move that's more likely to win a game of Rock-Paper-Scissors?" Is their a more important question? Please share your wisdom.
At the moment I'm a refugee from Champ's 'Life is Meaningless Without Jesus' topic, so that is influencing my question.
A Zen master said, "You are luckily alright by yourself." I take it that he meant this in the same sense as saying a rabbit is alright by itself.
So my question is, why do Christians need Jesus to complete themselves? Why are Christians born incomplete, while rabbits, fleas, and flowers are born complete? It's as though they are like babies born with one leg; born needing prostheses.

Planning and preparing healthy meals can be challenging for anyone. When you have multiple sclerosis (MS), fatigue can be another obstacle preventing you from packing healthy snacks or fixing a home-cooked dinner.
Eating healthy foods can help you fight fatigue and avoid the crash you may experience after eating fast food and sugary drinks. Here are a few tips to make food shopping and cooking more efficient and manageable so that a healthy diet can fit into your lifestyle:
Make a game plan
Take a few minutes every week to map out some easy dinners for the week. Choose recipes that can be prepared ahead of time, will store well and will produce leftovers that can be packed for the following day's lunch or repurposed for another meal.

Best Uses
I've used these on a few DH runs now and they are the best I have owned. They stay put and are light so I forget I have them on. I've crashed a few times into rocks and never felt a thing and the pads held up well. Straps are well placed. make sure you get the sizing right.
When knee pads just dont cut it. Good protection & fit
Tried others, but like Raceface the best
Best Uses
I use these on some decently technical trails i've crashed with them up in big bear a couple of times and they take allll the impact my arms didn't even feel sore afterwards. very comfy. easy to slip on and off. and they stay in place when you crash. and they are cheap! everythin you need. :)
i wear these when i ride my dj at the local pump/jump track. they never impare me from whipping my bike around and feel nice and comfy
Best Uses
These have been really comfortable on long rides. I'll do the entire fullerton loops with these on. So far the only discomfort that i have felt is a slight pinch on the inside of my right elbow. i tried switching that pad to my left and so far so good. foruntely i haven't crashed in them yet but from the feel they feel like they will definitely stay in place. I had an old pair of sette elbow guards and when i would crash in those they'd move slightly and they felt way cheaper than these.
Best Uses
I use these with my DJ bike.

Chairman Cochran called the meeting to order at 4:03 p.m.
Commissioner Hardwick made a motion to accept the March 3, 2003 minutes. Commissioner Nowels seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
Mark Miller, City Traffic Engineer, presented staff's report for overnight parking on both sides of Pomona Avenue and Orangefair Avenue and its easterly terminus. Staff received a petition from the Meredith Manor Homeowners Association (MMHA). The MMHA had an informal arrangement for the last 30-years with both the Orangefair Center and AMF Carter Bowl to allow residents to park on their properties overnight. Unfortunately, these businesses recently posted their parking lots for no overnight parking. This has caused a problem for the residents.
In December 1993, City Council adopted Section 8.44.080 of the Fullerton Municipal Code, which provides for overnight parking exceptions. Section 8.44.080 states that with a majority of the property owners on both sides of the street in favor "exemptions may be granted for an area having an off-street parking deficiency. The smallest area which may be excepted is one city block, either one side or both sides". Section 8.44.080 defines a parking deficiency as "not meeting current minimum parking requirements for the same type of land use". An off-street parking deficiency is defined as less than the minimum required parking spaces for a particular land use as defined by current Fullerton Municipal Code zoning requirements. In the case of a multi-family R-3 residential zoning the minimum off-street parking requirement varies based on the number of bedrooms and/or units involved.
The individual properties within Meredith Manor and the availability of parking as submitted by the property management company for the Meredith Manor Homeowners Association was as follows: 56-One bedroom units, 72-Two bedroom and 32-Three bedroom. Of these 160 total units there are 253 parking spaces (239 garages, 14 carports) and 35 available on-street guest parking spaces.
It should be mentioned that the property was built as apartment property with the units being converted to condominiums in the early 70's. At the time of the conversion the garages were sold independently without equity to all. Some units purchased several garages while others purchased none, contributing to today's problems. It should also be noted that not all of the garages within the development are used for parking.
Based on today's R-3 property requirements, there would be a need for 274 garages and 114 guest spaces. This equates to a deficiency of 21 garages/carports and approximately 79 on-street guest parking spaces. As such, it is staff's opinion that Meredith Manor is deficient in off-street parking as a result of the number of residential units involved and available parking for both residents and guests.
Considering the data listed above and an apparent hardship that is not subjective to other forms of relief, staff recommends approval of the request.
Commissioner Hardwick commented that the commission has seen this before and staff had reservations about approving this recommendation based on the fact that it was the homeowners association that was initiating this and not very many residents were for it. He asked staff if they thought that the 50 percent is sufficient to get its approval. Mr. Miller stated that the requirements of the code are that there be 50 percent or more signatures and there were more than 50 percent submitted. Also, the zoning code has change over the years. Mr. Dave Langstaff, Traffic Engineering Analyst, also mentioned that the other information that came forward was that they posted the two lots they have been using for overnight parking for "No Parking".
Commissioner Olmsted commented that he is in favor of the request because it appears that the residents are in agreement.
The public comment segment was opened.
Rod Lusch, President of the Homeowners Association, 1620 South Pomona Avenue #C18, stated that overnight parking has been a residents concern. In the late 1980's Meredith Manor requested overnight parking and it was denied. Increased ticketing and towing of vehicles has caused problems. The exemption would alleviate problems that Meredith Manor currently has in the alleys. Mr. Lusch asks that the commission approve the exemption. Mr. Lusch on behalf of all the residents thanked staff for their professionalism for dealing with this issue.
Commissioner Nowels asked if safety and security was an issue in the recent change in the relationship between the Orangefair Mall and the Carter Bowling facility. Mr. Lusch stated that the bowling facility has recently contracted with Fullerton College for overflow parking. The Orangefair Mall has recently contracted with the Anaheim Memorial for overflow parking as well.
Commissioner Bailey asked what steps the Homeowners Association has taken to reestablish the formal arrangement with the two parking areas. Mr. Lusch said that they had their management company call and they did not have any luck in securing the parking lots. Commissioner Nowels asked if any rent was offered and Mr. Lusch replied yes.
Commissioner Hardwick asked if any of the resident's cars were vandalized while parked either at Carter Bowl or the Burlington Coat Factory parking lots. Mr. Lusch replied yes.
Commissioner Lindstrom asked what the current total parking deficiency is and how much the exemption is going to solve the parking problems. Mr. Lusch stated that it is hard to calculate because under the law there is no restriction as to how many people can live in what was previously called a single dwelling.
Commissioner Bailey asked if their CC&R's regulate the use of their carports and garages. Mr. Lusch replied no. Commissioner Bailey asked if he knows how many of the garages and carports are being used other than parking cars. Mr. Lusch replied no.
Commissioner Lindstrom asked Mr. Lusch if he was aware of the basis of Mr. Lehner's objections to the overnight parking exemption. Mr. Lusch replied no.
Vice-Chairman Robeson stated that the reason the commission asks how the garages are being utilized is so that they know that the parking is being utilized properly. Mr. Lusch commented that unless it is an emergency the Board does not have a right to inspect their properties.
Marsha F., 1541 S. Pomona Avenue #A40, stated that some of the residents rent their garages to other residents so that they do not get ticketed. She said that all the garages are used for vehicles.
Michael Ham, 1540 S. Pomona Avenue #B39, stated that he is not in favor of the overnight parking exemption. However, the exemption seems to be the only solution to the parking problem that they are having therefore he supports it. Mr. Ham stated that they have approximately 1.4 parking spaces per unit.
Joe McGill, 1510 S. Pomona Avenue, stated that there are 160 units and the average are 2 bedrooms. Under the current City of Fullerton regulations for a 2 bedroom in a R-3 development, the zone would require 1 garage spaces and a open space for guest parking, a total of 2 1/2 spaces per 2 bedroom unit, therefore 400 spaces are required for such a development. There are 234 garage spaces in the development. The parking deficiency is 166 units. On-street parking will alleviate a portion of that deficiency.
Virginia Kirk, 1640 S. Pomona Avenue #C37, stated that people have been parking in the back alleys and it has become a big problem. She said she does not know how to get those cars out of the alleys.
Julie Bower, 1530 S. Pomona Avenue #B32, stated that she has lived there since 1994. Mrs. Bower stated that when they moved in they knew there was only one car garage. At that time she was able to park at Carter Bowl and walk. It is getting to be really difficult being towed away and not being able to park anywhere.
Teodora Marin, 1600 S. Pomona Avenue #C2, mentioned that she has not seen anyone use their garages for storage but for parking.
The public comment segment was closed.
Vice-Chairman Robeson commented that he is not in favor for overnight parking but unfortunately supports this request because it is a problem.
Chairman Cochran said that he looked at the area and did see a problem. He stated that the exemption will not solve the parking problem entirely but it will help. He is in favor of the exemption.
Commissioner Nowels stated that there appears to be a problem and this exemption may help. She is in favor of the exemption.
Commissioner Lindstrom thinks there is definitely a hardship at Meredith Manor and they want the overnight parking for a good reason. She is in favor of the exemption.
Commissioner Hardwick made a motion to accept staff's recommendation. Commissioner Nowels seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
Mr. Miller presented staff's report to install traffic measures in the vicinity of Maple School. Staff received a request from the Fullerton School District, on behalf of the Maple Elementary School PTA School Site Council. The Maple School PTA complained of excessive vehicle speeds and conflicts between vehicles and students. The Maple School PTA requested that staff consider a left-turn signal phasing at Lemon and Valencia, installation of fluorescent yellow-green school warning signs, adding a crossing guard at Valencia and Pomona, and adding stop signs at Pomona and Ash.
As a result of their request, staff conducted numerous traffic studies; observed pedestrian and vehicle patterns; and worked with the Police Department; in an effort to improve safety in the neighborhood.
On March 31, 2003, staff met with the School District, the Principal of Maple School, the PTA, and the Fullerton Police Department to discuss the various issues and concerns as well as any remedial action that may be available. The minimum requirements for the installation of a protected left-turn phase, as defined in the State of California Traffic Manuel and adopted by the City, were not satisfied. The fluorescent yellow-green school warning signs were installed earlier this year as requested. The minimum requirements for the installation of a crossing guard at Valencia and Pomona, as defined by the State of California Traffic Manuel and adopted by the City, were not satisfied. The minimum requirements for the installation of a two-way stop at Pomona Avenue and Ash Avenue were also not satisfied.
Staff proposes posting the east end of Ash Avenue at its terminus with the school for "No Parking Anytime". This will reduce congestion at the exit driveway to the school and improve circulation within the schools parking lot. Staff also proposes installing sixty-five feet of white curb (3-minute passenger loading/unloading) on the south side of Valencia Drive within the turn-out in front of Maple School. This will assist in the drop-off and pick-up of children.
Staff proposes installing two-hundred feet of yellow curb (20-minute loading/unloading) on the south side of Valencia Drive west of the turn-out in front of Maple School. This will provide short-term parking for those parents needing to load/unload passengers while still allowing others the opportunity to conduct business on campus for up to 20-minutes. Staff also proposes adding sixty-five feet of red curb on the south side of Valencia Avenue between the turn-out and Lemon Street. This will open up the west leg of the intersection and allow vehicles to turn right and proceed southbound onto Lemon Street without having to maneuver around parked vehicles.
Maple School informed staff that they will provide additional staffing to assist parents/students with loading/unloading on Valencia Drive during peak periods to improve circulation. The Police Department will be providing increased enforcement within the surrounding area. Maintenance Services will be installing additional red curb.
Staff would like to have a public meeting with their PTA and parents. Staff has made themselves available to spend an evening with the parents to help educate them in traffic safety on the road and in the school.
Staff recommends that a 4-way stop be installed at Valencia and Pomona, the installation of a 2-way stop on Ash Avenue at Pomona Avenue; the installation of sixty-five feet of white curb on the south side of Valencia Drive; the installation of two-hundred feet of yellow curb on the south side of Valencia Drive; the installation of sixty-five feet of red curb on the south side of Valencia Drive; the installation of "No Parking Anytime" at the easterly terminus of Ash Avenue.
Vice-Chairman Robeson asked if it would be prudent to put "No Stopping" instead of "No Parking" so that the property owners could still utilize in front of their property. Mr. Langstaff said that the "No Parking" signs would be sufficient and that staff would monitor the situation.
Commissioner Lindstrom asked if staff spoke to the property owners regarding this request or was the PTA and school the only ones involved. Mr. Miller stated that all of the property owners were notified but there were no responses.
Commissioner Lindstrom asked if the solution is going to cause a better flow of traffic or more congestion. Mr. Miller does not believe it will cause more congestion.
The public comment segment was opened.
Glenda Thompson, 1701 Camino La Vista, Principal at Maple School, stated that although they may not be getting all that they requested, they are very pleased with staff's recommendation. Mrs. Glenda thanked staff for being very responsive to all the parents. She mentioned that the majority of the children walk with their parents to school.
Ceaser P. stated that he has two children that attend Maple School. He said that on Ash Avenue there should be a "No Parking" zone or it should be striped red due to parents constantly arguing in that area.
Commissioner Olmsted asked Mr. Plow if he feels that putting in the "No Parking" at the end of Ash Avenue and the stop sign at Ash Avenue and Pomona Avenue is a good way to approach the problem. Mr. Plow replied yes. He mentioned that the yellow lines at the stop signs sometimes fade away.
The public comment segment was closed.
Commissioner Lindstrom said that she is in favor of the request. She is surprised that the residents did not respond to the recommendations requested.
Commissioner Hardwick made a motion to accept staff's recommendation. Commissioner Bailey seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
Mr. Miller presented staff's report for a disabled person's parking space in front of 1861 West Avenue. Staff was contacted by Mr. Bertram Hunt, the property owner at 1861 West Avenue. Mr. Hunt and his wife are both permanently disabled and Mrs. Hunt recently broke her hip and makes walking any distance difficult. Painting the curb blue does not mean that they could park there between the hours of 2 a.m. and 5 p.m. Others with a blue placard can park in this area.
Staff recommends the installation of a 25-foot disabled person's parking space in front of 1861 West Avenue.
Vice-Chairman Robeson asked if there is bus usage at this location. Mr. Miller replied no.
Commissioner Nowels stated that their garage is located at the rear of their property and they have difficulty getting there but they do need to park there at night. She asked what makes the garage difficult. Mr. Miller said that they are trying to accommodate the situation.
The public comment segment was opened.
Bertram Hunt, 1861 West Avenue, stated that his wife has trouble breathing and has broken her hip. Mr. Bertram has two knees that are replaced and his right knee has a disease. He mentioned that the church that is located near Brookhurst have cars parked outside after their church services.

Vice-Chairman Robeson made a motion to accept staff's recommendation. Commissioner Hardwick seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
Mr. Miller presented staff's report proposing a change to the lot designations in an effort to provide additional long-term employee parking for the businesses in the area and to make enforcement of the existing restrictions more effective.
Staff requests that both lots be posted for "2-hour parking" between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m., Saturday, Sunday, and Holidays exempt; and that an additional ten yellow (long-term/employee parking) spaces be added to the northerly lot. The two parking lots are currently designated for 2-hour parking between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Saturday, Sunday, and Holidays exempt.
Parking in the surrounding area is heavily utilized by Fullerton College, Fullerton High School students, and employees of local businesses; as well as contractors working on ongoing construction projects in the area.
Several of the local restaurants/businesses have complained about insufficient long-term parking for their employees and the need for greater enforcement of the 2-hour parking restriction to make available spaces needed for customers. Employees at Angelo & Vinci's Restaurant in particular find it difficult to find available yellow parking spaces (long-term employee parking) by the time they report for work. The yellow parking spaces allow employees who display a Downtown parking pass to park long term. The general public can also park in these spaces but are limited to 2-hours of continuous parking.
The Police Department notified staff that they were finding it difficult to enforce the restriction due to the posted times. The Police Department would like to change the restriction to read "2-hour parking from 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m." This will assist the Police Department with enforcement since they can start the two-hour countdown earlier. Staff recommends that the Transportation and Circulation Commission approve and recommend to Council that ten parking spaces currently designated as "2-hour parking" be designated as yellow long-term employee parking spaces.
Staff recommends that the Transportation and Circulation Commission approve and recommend to Council that the City lots on both sides of Ellis Place between Harbor Boulevard and Pomona Avenue be designated as "2-hour parking" between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Saturday, Sunday, and Holidays exempt.
Commissioner Nowels asked if the students move their cars during their morning break or do they know what time enforcement begins. Lieutenant Stanko replied that the students are constantly moving their cars and the frustration is due to the lots being posted at different times.
Commissioner Bailey asked if there is sufficient parking at Fullerton High school. Mr. Miller replied yes.
Commissioner Lindstrom asked what the benefit of having the yellow parking spaces is. Mr. Miller stated that the benefit is that the employees park away from the businesses. The public comment segment was opened.
Joyce Capel, spoke on behalf of Florence Crittenton Services, 600, 602 & 604 Ellis property owner, appreciates the consideration that staff has given to the dilemma on Item Number 5. Mrs. Capel asked if there is a possibility of more than ten spaces being allocated.
Vice-Chairman Robeson stated that ten spaces do not seem enough but unfortunately with the construction near the college staff thinks that ten spaces are what they can utilize at this time. Mrs. Capel stated that she is a business immediately adjacent to the property and will have a problem if Item Number 5 is approved.
Chairman Cochran asked how many employees Mrs. Capel has. Mrs. Capel replied that Monday thru Friday at their peek staff time they have approximately eight to ten therapists and case managers that park on Harbor Boulevard.
Vice-Chairman Robeson asked if they have parking on the back and on the side. Mrs. Capel stated that they have sufficient parking on Ellis and adjacent to their Brookdale property.
Vice-Chairman Robeson asked how many spaces are on each property. Mrs. Capel stated that they have about eighteen spaces.
Dale Rosenblum, 704 N. Harbor Boulevard, stated that he is a victim of the Florence Crittenton parking problem. Mr. Rosenblum stated that there are cars on his lot every Wednesday during street cleaning.
The public comment segment was closed.
Vice-Chairman Robeson stated that the agenda is regarding the "2-hour parking" and to start it at 7:00 a.m. instead of 9:00 a.m. He thinks this is the best solution and supports staff.
Commissioner Lindstrom asked if the 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. is consistent with the other public parking spaces not shown. Mr. Langstaff stated that most of the lots that are posted in the downtown area are posted from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. He stated that staff will be going to the business owners to ask if they are interested in changing any of the restrictions.
Commissioner Lindstrom said she does not think the yellow spaces will make any difference because customers will be able to park there.
Commissioner Bailey believes they are placing the yellow spaces because of the proposed elimination of the parking on Harbor Boulevard and to compensate the business on Harbor Boulevard.
Commissioner Lindstrom asked staff if the yellow spaces are related to Item Number 5. Mr. Miller stated that it is related but there is still a need for additional yellow spaces. He stated that staff was originally going for the yellow spaces and then the issue of the student parking came up and staff decided to take two issues at the same time.
Commissioner Lindstrom made a motion to amend Item Number 4 recommendation to specify the changing of the "2-hour parking" from 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. without making any commentary on the yellow employee parking space recommendation. Commissioner Bailey seconded the motion.
AYES: Bailey, Lindstrom, Nowels
NAYES: Cochran, Hardwick, Olmsted, Robeson
The vote was 3 to 4 and the motion was denied.
Vice-Chairman Robeson stated that this issue has come up many times and that the yellow spaces do work. Vice-Chairman Robeson made a motion to accept staff's recommendation. Commissioner Hardwick seconded the motion.

NAYES: Lindstrom, Nowels
The vote was 5 to 2 and the motion was approved.
Mr. Miller presented staff's report to install "No Stopping Anytime" on the east side of Harbor Boulevard between Chapman Avenue and Berkeley Avenue. Staff made the request in an effort to reduce the number of accidents on this segment of Harbor Boulevard between Chapman Avenue and Berkeley Avenue and to improve traffic circulation. If approved, staff proposes to re-stripe Harbor Boulevard between Chapman Avenue and Berkeley Avenue to accommodate two-lanes in each direction, left-turn pockets or two-way left turn pockets, and parking on the west side of the street.
Each side of the street differs significantly in their need for on-street parking. The properties on the west side of the street are predominantly small businesses with insufficient off-street parking availability. The properties on the east side of the street are a mixed use of residential and small businesses with adequate off-street parking availability. Staff met with various property owners who would be affected by the removal of on-street parking adjacent to their businesses and/or residences and received no opposition to the recommendation.
The addition of the left-turn lanes will reduce accidents and congestion in the thru lanes by providing storage for the left turning vehicles. It will also provide better sight visibility when turning left.
Staff recommends the installation of No Stopping Anytime on the east side of Harbor Boulevard between Chapman and Berkeley.
Vice-Chairman Robeson asked how this will affect the OCTA buses. Mr. Miller stated that the buses drive near the curb when they pull over to the bus stops.
Vice-Chairman Robeson asked if there will be a left-turn on Union, Brookdale, Malvern, Glenwood, and Ellis Place. Mr. Miller replied yes. He stated that there is a striped pedestrian crosswalk on Ellis Place that has a very poor sight distance.
Chairman Cochran asked if the left turn lanes will be north and south bound. Mr. Miller said that it will be a continuous striped two-way left turn pocket.
Commissioner Lindstrom asked if the property owners had any feedback for the removal of the parking spaces. Mr. Miller said that he did speak with the residents and they had no opposition.
Commissioner Bailey asked if most of the accidents that were reported were rear end accidents. Mr. Miller replied yes. He said that they were also left turn vehicles that were turning in front of opposing thru vehicles.
Commissioner Olmsted asked what the maximum cars parked per hour is. Mr. Miller stated that there were seven cars on the east side at 9:45 a.m. in December.
Mr. Langstaff stated the owner of the Fox Fullerton was in full support of the recommendation.
Commissioner Lindstrom asked if staff considered any other alternatives to enhance the safety. Mr. Miller stated that there was a study done to accommodate the parking by widening the road that would narrow the sidewalks. The City decided they did not want to widen the roadway at this time.
Commissioner Olmsted said that a "No Left Turn" is a possibility. Mr. Miller stated that a number of cities have posted "No Left Turns" during peek hours.
Chairman Cochran asked if the narrowing of the lanes is going to create a problem for SUV's. Mr. Miller replied no.
Commissioner Bailey asked if the narrowing of the lanes is going to affect the truck drivers. Mr. Miller replied no.
Commissioner Lindstrom said that she is concerned of the business owners that will be losing parking spaces. Mr. Miller stated that they have sufficient off-street parking.
The public comment segment was opened.
Dale Rosenblum, 704 N. Harbor Boulevard, stated that he is not opposed to traffic but asked if a traffic light would be better. He stated that he has fought Florence Crittenden parking for years. He believes a traffic light would be better.
Commissioner Lindstrom asked Mr. Rosenblum if he is concurring with the fact that he has sufficient off-site or off-street parking. Mr. Rosenblum said that he has a sufficient lot if he gets to use his lot. He said that on Wednesdays he posts "No Parking" signs and people tear them down.
Commissioner Lindstrom asked if he is objecting to this recommendation because he will be losing on-street parking. Mr. Rosenblum said that if he has his lot for his employees then they should be ok. He does not know whether or not a cut out lane is sufficient.
Mr. Miller stated that a traffic signal will not make a difference on left turn and rear end accidents. He said that in the last ten years there have been 4,000 vehicles less on Harbor Boulevard.
Vice-Chairman Robeson thinks that there are too many people that are being rear ended and hit. He thinks that staff's recommendation will be best for the citizens of Fullerton.
Eugene Bastanchury, 616 N. Harbor Boulevard, suggests that the speed on Harbor Boulevard be reduced.
Vice-Chairman Robeson asked Mr. Bastanchury if he likes the idea of the parking going away in the front. Mr. Bastanchury stated that his concern is the traffic speed.
Mr. Miller stated that staff is finishing the radar survey for the next five year cycle.
Joyce Capel, Florence Crittenden, stated that she is not opposed to the proposed change. Her concern is that the ten additional parking spaces will need to be shared with Angelo & Vinci's who also have a parking problem. Another concern of hers is whether the school buses are going to be allowed to stop.
Robert Engemann, 807 & 813 N. Harbor Boulevard, stated that parking is extremely critical east and west. Mr. Engemann tried to negotiate buying some property to pick up some additional parking spaces. He would like to recommend that there be no left turns. He asked if staff has ever considered having Lemon and Harbor Boulevard one way streets. Mr. Miller stated that it has been discussed.
Chairman Cochran stated that he tries to avoid the stretch between Chapman Avenue and Berkeley Avenue when he goes down Harbor Boulevard. He does not like to lose parking spaces in the City because they are at a premium; however this seems to be a good solution. Chairman Cochran supports staff's recommendation.
Commissioner Bailey stated that one of his employees was recently rear ended in the area. He is in full support of the recommendation.
Vice-Chairman Robeson also has had an employee get rear ended on Harbor Boulevard. He is in full support of staff's recommendation.
Commissioner Hardwick asked if the parking on the west side of Harbor Boulevard would ever be removed. Mr. Miller replied no.
Vice-Chairman Robeson made a motion to support staff's recommendation. Commissioner Nowels seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
Mr. Miller presented staffs report to revise the Federal Highway Map. Staff will be re-classifying a number of streets that are now classified as collectors on the Federal Map and classify them as residential. The Federal Classification Map started several decades ago when the cities were seeking funding from the federal government for bridges and storm drain improvements. The California Vehicle Code is tied to the Federal Classification Map in light of designating types of roadways. The California Vehicle Code states that if a road is designated anything else but a residential it has to be surveyed. This prevents cities from indiscriminately posting a street for 25 miles per hour because it looked like a residential street.
Chairman Cochran stated that in the staff report it says that proposed changes allow the Police Department to issue citations for excessive speed with use of radar without posting the speed limit. He asked if these streets are posted. Mr. Miller replied yes and that some are posted for more than 25 miles per hour. He said that they do not have to post residential streets.
Commissioner Bailey asked how many of the streets are posted in excess of 25 miles per hour. Mr. Miller said that they are all posted in excess of 25 miles per hour.
The public comment segment was opened and closed.Vice-Chairman Robeson made a motion to support staffs recommendation. Commissioner Hardwick seconded the motion, which passed unanimously.
Mr. Miller said that Council reiterated their support of the existing Overnight Parking Exemption Policy.
Mr. Miller mentioned that the red light cameras are up at Harbor Boulevard and Chapman Avenue. Orangethorpe Avenue and Harbor Boulevard had 114 tickets issued in one month. The third intersection at Orangethorpe and Magnolia will be going online next week. Staff is looking at five additional locations in the city.
Commissioner Nowels commented that she will be trading Parking Hearing dates with Commissioner Olmsted. She will be attending the June 17, 2003 Parking Hearing and Commissioner Olmsted will be attending the August 19, 2003 meeting.
The regular meeting of the Transportation & Circulation Commission adjourned at 6:45 p.m.
