GF friendly. Staff very knowledgeable. Food was delicious.
Very good!! Good gluten-free pizza! Very educated on what products are safe for super strict gluten allergies, and some that are more for lighter allergies.
Gf pizza is very good. Multiple items listed on main menu as gluten free. Pulled gf pizza 8/25/2011 to work on proper handling. I understand the gluten free pizza is back.
Clean, neat, celiac knowledgeable server BUT Celiac Friendly Selection only includes salads and a few appetizers now. No longer serve any pizzas or main meals that are Gluten Free "because it was too hard to keep the floor out of everything." =(
pizza was pretty good.
3163 W. Chandler Blvd., Chandler, AZ 85226
GF Pizza, 4 choices, wasn't the greatest pizza but it wasn't an awful option
827 Brandon Town Center Mall, Brandon, FL 33511
Have reworked their menu and can make safe pizzas- limited options.
500 West Germantown Pike, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462
I had a gluten free pizza and it was delicious and I had no bad reaction!
3400 Las Vegas Blvd. South, Las Vegas, NV
Ridiculous no gluten free pizza crust at this location. Salad only option.
250 Granite Street, Braintree, MA 02184
CPK is always a good choice - yummy pizza and careful about cross contamination. However, I was disappointed to see that their corn chip "small plate" is no longer listed as GF. Also, at other CPK locations I've been to, the manager brings out my pizza, which has always been an extra reassurance - at this location, the waitress brought it out.
183 Linden Street, Wellesley , MA 02482
Very bad gluten free options. Good pizza though
5555 Tamiami Trail North, Naples, FL 34108
Very good pizza! Knowledgeable staff and GIG prep methods. Pizza was extremely yummy. I thought it was a bit pricey though - $14-ish for a 10" (approx.) pizza. I would definitely go here again.
300 Miracle Mile, Coral Gables , FL 33134
I have only eaten here once with my two daughters one of whom has celiac disease. We ordered an appetizer of guac and chips, two gluten-free pizzas. Guac was very average at best. Chipotles is much better. Pizzas were not very good at all. Very bland, gummy. We didn't even want to take any leftovers with us and I usually want to as I never know when traveling where the next gluten-free meal is going to come from.
255 E. Basse Road, San Antonio, TX 78209
Love their pizzas and salads that are wonderful, lighter and more flavorful!
1245 Worcester Rd., Natick, MA 01760
They have two pizzas which they guarantee are GF, but will make any of their pizzas GF (though they won't then "guarantee" no cross-contamination). The pizza is very good.
3400 Las Vegas Blvd. South, Las Vegas, NV
No gf pizza
1645 Briargate Parkway, Colorado Springs, CO 80920
CPK offers a indicators for all GF items on their menu along with pizzas certified to be gluten free by the Gluten Intolerance Group (GiG). I have been here multiple times and have not gotten sick due to cross contamination. I am diagnosed celiac.
11401 Pines Blvd., Pembroke Pines, FL 33026
There's 5 pizzas that can be guaranteed gf (per the manager) I placed an order for take out and he personally called to assure it would be 100% gf
6910 Fayetteville Rd., #154, Durham, NC 27713
Salad was good but gluten free pizza crust was awful. Paid $16 for a bland, undercooked pizza. On the bright side, they had gluten free beer. I guess if you want to get pizza there you should drink several of them first and you might not care.
325 Christiana Mall, Newark, DE 19702
The server and chef were knowledgeable and the food was very good. No issues with contamination.
1 Garden State Plaza, #1160, Paramus, NJ 07652
I had the GF pizza on the new menu and it's great!
25513 Marguerite Parkway, Mission Viejo, CA 92692
They have new certified GF pizzas and they are YUMMY. I am super sensitive to gluten and I didn't get sick.
4200 Conroy Road, Orlando, FL 32839
Fantastic service. Had Margherita pizza -- no symptoms after eating here! Separate GF prep area, take all the precautions very seriously. Caitlyn was bartender -- awesome customer service. Highly recommend!!
10001 Perkins Rowe, Baton Rouge, LA 70810
Excellent GF pizza!
2223 N. Westshore Blvd., #189, Tampa, FL 33607
Have eaten GF pizza at the Tampa location 3 times and did not get sick. The pizza was so good! It's so nice to go out for pizza! And have knowledgeable servers - yay California Pizza Kitchen!!
284 Chesterfield Mall Road, Chesterfield, MO 63017
Gluten free pizza and excellent service is all I need!
11655 Ash Street, Leawood, KS 66211
I applaud their efforts- they have 4 different certified GF pizzas. The manager said they have worked for 2 years to perfect them. Unfortunately my pizza was not great. The crust was rubbery in the middle, burnt around the edges. The toppings & spices were heavy in spots & non existent on the rest of the pizza. I've definitely had much much better GF pizza. Sorry - I wanted to love it!
1850 South Val Vista Drive, Mesa, AZ 85204
I have Celiac and never had a problem. Stick to only the pizzas as that is what they are GIG certified for. Everything else on the menu like salads have higher risk for cross contamination, believe it or not. Their ranch is gluten free if you like dipping. Just be sure if you call in to go to make sure you are talking to the actual location... had an issue calling in an order and it went to a call center who put the order I at the wrong location.
7007 Friars Road, Suite 901, San Diego, CA 92108
Limited to 3 pizza choices that are prepared safely (we have celiac). They can't do kids pizzas GF, so be prepared to pay $16 for a large pizza that your kid eats two slices of. Also irritated that we had to pay for the kids soda (that comes free with kids meal) that we were unable to order from. Pizza is fine, but definitely tastes GF.
3400 Las Vegas Blvd. South, Las Vegas, NV
This is dissapointment to say the least. not Ceoliac friendly. All there was Gluten Free was over priced salads.
6659 Las Vegas Blvd. South, Bldg. C1, Las Vegas, NV 89119
We had the GF traditional pizza and pepperoni and they were both delicious. We also got the Italian Chopped Salad which was GF. The waitress was very knowledgeable. Our food was served to us by the manager so that there was no cross contamination while carry out the food. We were very happy and will definitely be back! 👍😃
61 S. Pine Avenue, Long Beach, CA 90802
CPK is usually one of my favorite places to go because it's certified gluten-free, it's tasty and I'm never gotten sick. Until now. Last night I ordered one of the certified gluten-free pizzas off the special gluten-free menu. I had two slices of it and realized there were green onions under the crust on my plate. I instantly knew it was trouble. I hoped for the best assuming maybe just maybe only that green onion happened to touch my plate. I always show symptoms 24 hours after eating bad food and sure enough 24 hours later, im currently sick to my stomach. I can only assume that they did not use safe practices and that they cross contaminated my food. Not going back to this location.
1 West Flatiron Circle, Broomfield, CO 80021
New gf menu is limited but good!
3400 Las Vegas Blvd. South, Las Vegas, NV
Zero stars. CPK in the Mirage was horrible. Very rude and unaccommodating even though the website currently shows they are GF. Had an overpriced salad instead that wasn't very good.
24155 Laguna Hills Mall, Laguna Hills, CA 92653
New pizza tasted like cardboard and was inedible
300 Monticello Avenue, #149, Norfolk, VA 23510
Pizza was good, even by my gluten eating spouse's standards. The service was slow.
5555 Tamiami Trail North, Naples, FL 34108
Good pizza! They have 4 types of pizza that are prepared in a GIG certified method in a separate area that we were able to see from our table. They had a separate refrigerator and prep area, the cook wore gloves to prepare it, and placed the pizza on a special pan/tray to help protect it from cross-contamination when they insert and remove it from the oven. You can get other toppings on a GF crust, outside of the 4 GIG ones, but those toppings are taken from the regular prep area, so they are subject to cross-contamination. I only ordered fro the GIG certified list (I have celiac disease and I am very sensitive to cross-contamination). I had the BBQ chicken pizza and thought it was very good. Best of all, I did not get sick!
827 Brandon Town Center Mall, Brandon, FL 33511
They have changed their menu to include a gluten free menu with certified GIG pizza. They have 4 certified g/f pizzas and various apps and salads.
3200 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, NV 89109
they have gf pizzas.
2284 Kalakaua Avenue, Honolulu, HI 96815
Great service, good pizza :)
53 Third Street, San Francisco, CA 94103
The manager courteously explained the process: the cooks will wash their hands, handle with gloves, and rice flour is used on all (including non GF) cooking pans to stick them. Food was good; with that said, I won't know whether I've reacted for a few hours. UPDATE: I had a clear and significant reaction a couple hours later.
6227 South State Street, Murray, UT 84107
The pizza is delicious! The staff is kind and knowledgable about what you can eat.
1493 St. Louis Galleria, Richmond Heights, MO 63117
Some of the best gluten free pizza crust I've ever had!
3505 Grand Ave., Chino Hills, CA
Pizza crust was thin and crispy. Good service and they were specific about Its preparation.
601 N. San Fernando Blvd., Burbank, CA 91502
One certified option if you're also vegetarian.
160 Route 110, Huntington Station, NY 11746
U kidding?
365 Central Park Ave., Scarsdale, NY 10583
200 Central Park Avenue, Virginia Beach, VA 23462
horrible customer service!
100 CambridgeSide Place, Sp. W102, Cambridge, MA 02141
Super tasty pizza crust. Felt very safe due to their dedicated gf kitchen space. 4 gf certified pizza options. The Crispin cider is also delicious.
3401 Esperanza Crossing #E1, Austin, TX 78758
Only 4 GF pizzas to choose from but, best pizza as far as going out to eat. There are salad options also.
McCarran International Airport, 5757 Wayne Newton Boulevard, Las Vegas, NV 89111
There should be an options for 0 stars. No GF options whatsoever.
609 Kailua Road, Kailua, HI 96734
My daughter loved the pizza and did not get sick.
4712 River City Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32246
Not great. I was disappointed in the gluten free pizza crust.
400 Commons Way, Bridgewater, NJ 08807
There are 4 pizzas that are certified gluten free on the menu. There are no other items that are certified gluten free, but some items on the menu are "made without gluten ingredients." I can only vouch for the pizza. I did not get sick from the pizza. The pizza was good fresh from the oven. Good option if you want to eat pizza out, but overall, not super impressed.
4712 River City Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32246
They actually have some great salads to choose from there.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
How It Is Done continued...
During the test, you may be alone in the scanner room. But the technologist will watch you through a window. You will be able to talk with the technologist through a two-way intercom.
If contrast material is needed, the technologist will put it in an intravenous (IV) line in your arm. The material may be given over 1 to 2 minutes. Then more MRI scans are done.
An MRI test usually takes 30 to 60 minutes but can take as long as 2 hours.
How It Feels
You will not have pain from the magnetic field or radio waves used for the MRI test. The table you lie on may feel hard, and the room may be cool. You may be tired or sore from lying in one position for a long time.
If a contrast material is used, you may feel some coolness and flushing as it is put into your IV.
In rare cases, you may feel:
- A tingling feeling in the mouth if you have metal dental fillings.
- Warmth in the area being examined. This is normal. Tell the technologist if you have nausea, vomiting, headache, dizziness, pain, burning, or breathing problems.
There are no known harmful effects from the strong magnetic field used for MRI. But the magnet is very powerful. The magnet may affect pacemakers, artificial limbs, and other medical devices that contain iron. The magnet will stop a watch that is close to the magnet. Any loose metal object has the risk of causing damage or injury if it gets pulled toward the strong magnet.
Metal parts in the eyes can damage the retina . If you may have metal fragments in the eye, an X-ray of the eyes may be done before the MRI. If metal is found, the MRI will not be done.
Iron pigments in tattoos or tattooed eyeliner can cause skin or eye irritation.
An MRI can cause a burn with some medicine patches. Be sure to tell your health professional if you are wearing a patch.
There is a slight risk of an allergic reaction if contrast material is used during the MRI. But most reactions are mild and can be treated using medicine. There also is a slight risk of an infection at the IV site.

- Preheat the oven to fan 160C/ conventional 180C/gas 4. Grease and base line a 20cm round cake tin, about 5cm deep. Sift the flour, cinnamon and caster sugar into a bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the egg, milk and melted butter, then combine with a wooden spoon or electric whisk. Beat well to make a thick, smooth mixture. Spoon into the tin and spread evenly.
- Remove the stalks and stones from the cherries, using a pitter if you have one to keep the fruit whole. Scatter the cherries over the mixture and gently press them in.
- To make the topping, tip all the ingredients into a bowl. Rub in the butter with your fingers to make a crumb-like mixture, then work the mixture until it comes together in pea-sized pieces. Scatter the topping over the cherries.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until a skewer pushed into the centre comes out clean. Leave in the tin until cool enough to handle, then run a knife round the edge, remove the cake from the tin and leave on a wire rack until completely cold.
- For a picnic, make the cake up to 24 hours ahead and return it to the clean tin when cold. Dust liberally with icing sugar, then wrap in cling film or foil.

Comments, questions and tips
This cake really is delicious, I have made two so far this week and if my neighbour keeps coming round with endless bowls of cherries I shall just keep making more as my eldest son is just wolfing it down. Definitely double the crumble topping though. I could tell as soon as I sprinkled the first lot on that it wasn't going to be enough so quickly made some more. Very easy to make too.
Used glace cherries not normal as they've just gone out of season. Didn't have enough so made up the weights with raisins and it looked nearly exactly like the picture - which is rare for me! Doesn't look like it's going to be much when making it but looks and tastes great and it disappeared before I even had a chance to have a proper slice!
I gave this the time that it said and the sponge part was undercooked, probably my fault but the skewer did come out clean so I thought it would be fine. I loved the crumble topping (with added flour) so if I made it again I would cook it for longer and put double the amount of crumble topping on it.
Modified the ingredients to make a healthier version of this. I used 100 ml of flora cuisine in the cake and made the topping with sunflower spread. I imagine the finished product will have its differences to the original but it turned out like a clafoutis cake with a crumble top. My kids loved it and my partner who has to watch his cholesterol was able to enjoy the treat with us.

It affects people differently. Obviously wasn't meant for you.
Just smelled my first niche fragrance. I don't understand the hype.it smells like my skin after sitting out by a fire pit.but just not as natural. With the slightest hint of pineapple that you have to try very hard to even smell.why spend 250 to smell like smoke? I don't get it.nothing stands out or will make me remember the smell different that any 75$ bottle of juice.what a let down I really wanted to enjoy it and make it my summer signature.
It affects people differently. Obviously wasn't meant for you.
3.5 hours in the scent is COMPLEtely gone, I have never experienced this with any fragrance before, wow!Dior on tje opposite wrist still in strong, this is gone!Joke
Sounds like you got the ashtray batch....
Given your past postings, it seems that you are approaching the world of frags like a bull in a china shop. Why not set yourself an order date for some samples maybe three weeks from now, and spend the next three week studiously reading, asking questions, figuring out what you might like, and then order.
Just because Aventus pops up three to five times a day on the message boards here doesn't mean it's necessarily good. 1 Million is hugely popular, as is Nicki Minaj -- that should clue you in.

I really enjoy it.
On me it starts off very fruity and ends up dry, woody with a hint of creamy vanilla and fruit.
Its my most well recieved scent for compliments from both people I no, and people i dont.
Its more of a smokey leather jacket than just ash. My K01 batch, which is one of the most hated Aventus batches on here due to smoke, is lasting so much longer, and receiving many more compliments, than my E01 2012 "fruity" batch.
To my nose, they dry down the same but the K01 lasts and projects much longer. Love it.
You're going at it the othe way.
First, who said Aventus represents niche?
Even if it does, it doesn't mean it must appeal to you. It could be niche but you may not like it.
I own and lik Aventus. It's nothing spectacular but it's not bad either. But definitely not the showcase perfume for niche.
One spray of Aventus on my skin and it almost kills my nose. It is dry +smoky wood with ripen + sweet fruit. Not for me. And I'm so happy that I don't have to pay such a big money for it. Now, Aventus is everywhere. Just like Terre d'Hermes last year.
It's fragrance - it's opinion.
Royal pineapple, royal ambergris, royal smokyness. Royal tra la la.
It's really one of the few fragrances worth all the hype if you can get the good pineappley batch.
My Ultimate Top 5:
Fahrenheit (1988)
Paul Smith Man (2009)
Burberry London (2006)
Prada Amber pour Homme (2006)
Arpege pour Homme (2005)
I got a 2ml sample from Surrender to Chance, and it smelled like pure smoke. Took a chance on another sample from Decant Shop and it is the nicest pineapple scent. Definite difference to me.
"Average at best" just about sums up my opinion of the stuff. I also agree that its artificial smoky nature is a real turnoff. Longevity is not a problem on my skin and I have no problem smelling Aventus at all (though I wish I did). It is a favorite of many here and I certainly respect their opinions but it just wasn't for me either...
As an aside, since it appears the smoky aspects of the scent are the least appealing to you, I would avoid Royal Vintage by Micallef as well, as it is quite similar but even more smoky.

Hm maybe that's it! Thanks man
Just wasn't to my liking gave my sample to a friend at church. I really didn't get any smoke from it at all.
Great thing is if you don't like a particular fragrance move on to the next. If you want resample another time.
If you just randomly pick names other people like, you'll never be able to figure out what works for you. Grab a pen and paper. Go to a fragrance counter. Each time you smell a fragrance, write down the name and jot down your thoughts, even if the stuff you write down doesn't seem to make much sense. Pick your favorite two scents out of the ones you tried and spray one on your left arm and the other on your right.
Go home.
Later, go to fragrantica.com and look up the scents you sampled. Compare what you wrote down with the list of notes (ingredients, kinda sorta) and compare your thoughts with what other people said. Do the same for the scents you wore home on your arms.
After a while, you'll start to notice patterns, and some of what you learn will probably surprise you. Maybe you like soapy scents. Maybe you don't. Maybe you like ambers. Maybe spice does it for you. Maybe you prefer gourmands. Maybe incense.
Once you figure out what you like, it becomes easier to look up other fragrances you might like. It's also easier to look up a frag you see mentioned a lot and guess whether or not you'd like it. Or, you can just see names mentioned online and try them, bouncing from thing to thing without ever understanding why you don't like them. The idea that just because lots of other people like something means you'll like it too is completely wrong. People rave about New Haarlem. It does nothing for me. I rarely see Interlude Man mentioned outside of Amouage threads, but I love the stuff.
You have to figure out what you like, and by that, I don't mean which frags. I mean, which smells.
Anybody have a sample of Martin Margiela Untitled or Untitled L'Eau? I'm dying to smell these and I've got lots of great niche samples to swap!
"Follow your nose. It always knows." -- Toucan Sam
It is nice but over rated imo.
10 million batches of niche
maybe I am crazy but to me its synthetic
Kielecki there is less then 1% of non synth in the formula.
There are plenty of "hyped" fragrances that don't quite "agree" with me. It's quite normal. You didn't like it...no big loss, really. There will be plenty of others you'll "fall in love" with. Enjoy the journey and best of luck!
I have close to 200 ML's of Aventus(decants/3-4 different people and times) I don't much pineapple or even freshness, to me it smells a bit like grease car grease. Recently got a bottle of Fresco and I love it. Much better and cheaper alternative.
I wore aventus until I tried Tuscan Leather...then aventus got sold
It is okay and I wear it once in a while, when I feel like satisfying my cravings/love for pineapples. It smells "nice", but is not really stimulating to wear. I never really understood the hype, even though I was fortunate enough to receive a bottle of one those "end all be all"-batches.
The Dude abides!!!
Form is emptiness, emptiness is form.
I think if your spending over the 100 $ for 100ml mark,
Your pretty much paying for the "Exclusivity" of the brand,
the unique bottle design, and the goodwill it enjoys, since
the juice inside does not cost more than 6-8$ tops to produce.
Wow, good to know!! I figured it was like that like everything else in life, clothes,cars ect.

To me, masculine for sure. Pleasant with a hint of sophistication.
People's opinion of this is interesting and as any fragrance that is super popular, it is very polarizing,
When It first came out, people didnt have much expectation for it.
But it must be a good scent because the hype started. People were loving it. Next thing you know, it's the most hyped frag in the comm because everyone wants to give it rave reviews.
The it hits a plateau where it's no longer cool to think aventus is god, and that's when the "it's not that special... It's overhyped" people started chiming in because of its previously hyped status.
The next state of this fragrance? It will stay a great scent for most people, but over time, the hype will regress and aventus will still be one of the most liked scent but the god status will dissolve. It will join the ranks of things like git, pure malt, etc... It won't be THE aventus, but it will be aventus nonetheless.
Aventus is the best purchase i've made so far, I love it.Saw a few threads critiscing it but out of my entire wardrobe Aventus followed by GIT are miles clear of the rest. Creed are a different level, you have to have had a crap batch.
I like quite a few Creeds.. Aventus is just meh though.
Current favourite: Spiritueuse Double Vanille
God herself wears Aventus so she smells better. Average? I think not!
Half of people REALLY like Aventus and the other half think it's overrated.
Nothing new here.
I got the ashy batch, but out of the bottle it smells like fresh cut pineapple - totally natural.
My old bottle was pure pine apple, but did not last longer than 8-10 hours, this new one gives me 10+ solid hours.
And one hour in, the ash scent goes into the background and the fresh bergamot, lemon and pineapple blends with the ash note and creates one of my favorite frags.
It may not be considered niche, because it's so popular and available in bigger cities, but here in Copenhagen it's easier to get Diptyque, Guerlain, Byre-do & CDG than Creed, so are these 4 not niche either ?
It's made by a company that only sells frags these days, if this is not the definition of niche, please tell me proper definition of niche ?
It may not se the super advanced niche scent, it's pretty likable right out of the flask - but it is indeed niche and it is overhyped, no doubt about it.
Claus The Danish Viking
Samples of original santal came today.these creed fragrances smell like low end designer scents. The closest scent I can link to Original santal is Adidas moves. Very similar.now I know for certain if creed name wasn't on the bottle they would be 20 dollar colognes.funny ppl pay 200 for a below avg juice worth 20 bucks just to say they own and wear creed.
Are you willing to try the experiment of going around telling everyone that today you are wearing $200+ Creed Original Santal, when you are in fact wearing Addidas Moves?
It may prove instructive.
Have to disagree here. I LOVE it. But a quick story....I went out on friday night completely sober and drank diet coke all night. Within an hour of a random young lady being sat down on our table she was literally eating me alive when I made no effort whatsoever. She biting my neck, grabbing me all over...telling me how good I smelled while biting my ear and literally wrapping her legs round me in plain view of the whole bar. It was unreal, she literally just went nuts. I am convinced Aventus had something to do with that because usually guys have to make an effort and thats never happened to me before in that way. I was out with another girl and she said " ive never ever seen a girl do that in that way before". Whether it was Aventus or not...its women record is now 1/1. 100%.
The connection I have noticed with people paying ridiculous sucker prices for cologne I feel are the same suckers who buy girls drinks all night then they go home with the dude who didnt buy them one?haha I feel the connection.a girl smelled your neck? Too bad that's all she smelled
This and other over-hyped fragrances are based on someone's personal opinion after all. I personally find majority of hyped fragrances are mediocre and some even are shameless copycats. However, lately I've learned to let people opinion be their own opinion and what I can do is keeping myself away from the hype game
- - - Updated - - -
Thankfully your "book" isn't the one the majority of the world read off. Pretty self centered to think so.
I have an interest in Creed more than any others, so what? My earlier posts were asking for recommendations of an array of fragrances of which plenty of others were discussed and actually purchased. You don't like that I want to discuss Creed/Aventus...fine. Don't come onto an Aventus thread and let fly for some nooby bashing because you've had a bad day so far bro. This is a Creed thread, what did you expect to be discussed here?
The fact is you are yet another in a long list of people who have joined Basenotes just to write some ridiculous nonsense about how you sprayed on some Aventus and women lost control of themselves.
You all seem to write in exactly the same style.
Nobody ever joins to say this about any other fragrance, so either Aventus is some heavenly gift or you are all shilling for Creed.
I did decide not to respond to any more of this, mainly because it keeps these threads in view but I couldn't help myself as it seemed you hadn't even made the effort to throw in a few non Creed related posts to try to cover your tracks a bit.
It sounds like you think im some sort of Creed advertising plant, that literally cracks me up if you genuinely believe that. I havent been around long enough to see these type of posts before but Id warn against tarring everyone with the same brush based on a whim. What I described happened on friday was creed the sole reason I got female attention? No. But some scents just happen to drive people wild, maybe it did for this chick but maybe it wouldn't for another. People have different tastes.
Apologies that you veterans have to deal with new posters who want to talk about Creed, its like being on a bodybuilding forum and watching new posters ask the same questions about diet and nutrition...you simple have to accept it as part and parcel and if new posters didn't join forums then you'd have no community. Creed got my interest in posting here as it clearly does for many other newcomers...from this point on I can explore other areas and pick up other ideas. People join forums because something sparks their interest...its just how it goes. Its nothing to do with covering any tracks. Ridiculous.
Thread has inspired me to give Aventus another whirl tomorrow.
If i still don't get it, my 95+% full 120ml bottle will be hitting the marketplace.
It is a good fragrance . I think the hype about it makes the expectations high, so people get disappointed after they smell it. It is true for Aventus and others.
By the way, let's discuss the fragrance not the people discussing the fragrance . Every time there is a creed or Aventus thread, it gets wild
Current top choices:
1- Portrait of A Lady
2- 34 st Germaine Boulevard by Diptyque
3- Bleecker Street by Bond 9
4- Acqua Di Parma Oud
5- Clive Christian #1
6- Coromandel by Chanel
7- Acqua Di Parmal Colonia Intensa
8- Guerlain Derby
9- MFK lumiere Noir
10- Dans Tes Bras
Simply a decent scent for me but definitely not a masterpiece in my collection, one of my top 10 frags but not standing as No.1.
My all time favorite:
Dior Fahrenheit
Tried Aventus quite recently at Selfridges in Manchester. It does smell nice to me but it's not something I really would pay that kind of money for to be honest. I was expecting something extraordinarily amazing and unique after reading and hearing so much about it. So yeah it smells good but not amazing.
I hate Aventus threads so much that now i'm starting to like them.
I think i've developed some kind of syndrome.
Are you not entertained??? Is this not why you are here??

Childhood obesity is a serious issue facing families everywhere, including thousands right here in the Tampa Bay area. In the United States, one in three children is considered to be overweight or obese.
Fortunately, childhood obesity is preventable. When families and their community work together, children can have encouragement and opportunities to be active and make healthy food choices. Here at All Children's Hospital we work hard every day to ensure that children have those chances.
For those already struggling with their weight, Fit4Allkids is an intervention program that helps children, teens and their families make healthy choices though fun, interactive classes that encourage participants to do their best and reach their own goals. The program is currently offered at 4 local YMCA locations.
In addition to intervention, we also offer Kohl's Cooks for Kids family nutrition and cooking classes. These classes provide parents an opportunity to involve their kids in the kitchen and are a great way to get picky eaters to try new things!

Hi All,
This is my first post at Groovy forum. Last couple of days I am learning groovy. I like this language a lot. Previously I had explored BeanShell. BeanShell provides online Web based BeanShell Servlet for executing beanshell code online. I find same for Groovy, but I am not able to find it. So I had written very primitive Web Based Groovy Shell (essentially Groovy Server Page with Groove Shell capabilities). Might be it is useful to others also like me. Mainly I am using all these web based scripting shell for debugging web based application. Typically changing code, session, request variables from it and debugging the application.

About Arcade Fire
Arcade Fire rolls out "Reflektor" (Updated 12/12/13)
The making of Arcade Fire's fourth studio album was not without its challenges. The roof collapsed on the church they had been using as a studio, forcing the band to work in several different recording studios. But the project came together in time for its October 28 release date, carrying the name "Reflektor."
Influenced by Haitian rara music, the 1959 film "Black Orpheus" and Soren Kierkegaard's essay "The Present Age," the album's release piggybacked off a guerrilla marketing campaign and the release of a limited single edition (the band's full project is a double album). It not only received mass critical praise, Rolling Stone ranked it at No. 5 on their "50 Best Albums of 2013" list, while it came in at No. 10 on Stereogum's list.
Speaking of promotion, Arcade fire were also guests on the 39th season premiere of "Saturday Night Live" on September 28. They also appeared in a half-hour special on NBC called "Arcade Fire in Here comes the Night Time" immediately after SNL. In early November they also played at the YouTube Music Awards, and their performance featured an experimental "live video" directed by Spike Jonze and starring actress Greta Gerwig.
Arcade Fire recently announced a huge show scheduled for Dublin's Marlay Park on June 29, 2014. (Support at the outdoor gig will come from the Pixies). The date comes just a few weeks after the band is also penciled in to play two shows at London's Earls Court (on June 6/7). Right now, all of their UK and Ireland tour dates fall in the festival season.
Arcade Fire finds success overwhelming (Updated January 2, 2013)
Already in high demand following the release of their first two studio albums, the members of Arcade Fire played a number of high-profile festivals such as Lollapalooza and Coachella and maintained a constant tour schedule. At one point, these road warriors had played 122 shows in 75 cities and 19 countries through 2007 as part of the "Neon Bible" tour, before opening 2008 by playing a number of free concerts in support of Barack Obama.
Ambition outweighed exhaustion when the band set to work on its next album, and "The Suburbs" bowed in August 2010. The album debuted at No 1. On the Irish, UK, U.S. and the Canadian Albums Charts. The band then officially crashed into the mainstream by capturing Album of the Year at the 2011 Grammy Awards, and a taste of success became a deluge&mdasheven at a time when the band pursued anonymity, and still preferred small club crowds over raucous arena shows.
The burgeoning mainstream success was in many ways overwhelming for the band, and they took some time to fade away from the noise instead of embrace it. They didn't truly resurface until recording a song for "The Hunger Games" soundtrack in 2012 called "Abraham's Daughter."
The biggest rumor surrounding the band's fourth album was that former LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy was helping out on the project. Rumor became reality when Scott Rodger, manager for Arcade Fire, let slip to the media that the collaboration could involve 'three or so songs.' He offered no further details when the record would be ready, only offering it would likely be a late 2013 release.

Guest blog by Ann Church, Vice President of State Affairs, ASPCA Government Relations
Thanks to the support of animal advocates like you, the ASPCA's Government Relations team was able to expand greatly this year, increasing our ability to fight for better laws for animals in all 50 states. As 2012 draws to a close, it's the perfect time to reflect on some of this year's legislative accomplishments on behalf of animals. Here is a small sampling of state-level victories that the ASPCA and our mighty Advocacy Brigade helped secure in 2012:
California—"Hounding" of Wildlife
California has banned hounding, a form of trophy hunting in which radio-collared dogs are released in forests to chase and tree bears and bobcats.
Idaho—Felony Cruelty
2012 will be remembered as the year that Idaho, a long-time holdout, finally enacted a law making animal torture a felony offense. The state made cockfighting a felony as well.
Massachusetts—Animal Control Reform
Among other achievements, this far-reaching, comprehensive new law creates a statewide spay/neuter program, prohibits breed-specific legislation, places restrictions on outdoor tethering, and allows pets to be included in domestic violence-related protection orders.
New Jersey—Horse Slaughter
New Jersey banned the slaughter of horses for human consumption as well as their transport through the state—a very meaningful provision, given the continued problem of export of horses over the border for slaughter.
Ohio—Exotic Pet Ownership and Puppy Mill Regulations
Ohio's Dangerous Wild Animal Act passed seven months after 56 exotic animals were released by their owner. (Most were killed.) Ohio was one of only a handful of states with virtually no regulations on wild/exotic animal pet ownership. In addition, the state passed its first-ever puppy mill law, which sets standards of care and requires annual inspections.
Tennessee—Felony Cruelty to Livestock
While most states exempt farm animals from their animal cruelty statues, Tennessee became one of the first to make extreme acts of cruelty to livestock subject to felony-level penalties.
It's important to remember that these victories, as well as the countless others, could not have been achieved without collaboration among state legislators and humane advocacy groups. Let's all continue to champion stronger laws protecting our nation's animals and make 2013 an even better year!
My wish for the animals of California is that builders and people would stop building in the hills. The higher they go, the less area for the animals that lived there first. Then home owners complain about the animals. Give me a break, where do you want them to go, you are in their livingroom, not the other way around.
In my class there is a girl named Micah and she is mean to her dogs :( I want to save those pour animals,already reported her though.
I have been recently blessed with a new job - the first thing I did was to donate to all the beautiful animals out there. I can't give but $20 a month for now, but every blessing I receive, Nature's Beauties shall also be blessed.
Thank You, for being there!
Puerto Rico has too many stray animals. And I want to stop this. I want to see all those dogs and cats in homes or safe from the very busy streets. I was wondering if Puerto Rico has an organization for capturing stray animals.
All of us have achieved something in our life. Maybe it's an A on your quiz, coming first place in a race. But we can do more than that. You can achieve higher goals. If you set a goal and put your mind to it you can do anything. If you really want to donate to ASPCA but you don't have enough out of your budget, start any kind of sale or offering. I know we all can make a difference. One Day!
The progress in Idaho is better than nothing, but, it should be pointed out that the only a a third offense constitutes a felony. And as difficult it is for animal abuse to be revealed and to be prosecuted - I doubt there will ever be a felony animal cruelty charge under that statute.
Creative and dedicated prosecutors can find ways to punish these people (see the Boise Zoo Monkey killer charged with felony grand theft). But Idaho is still way behind - there's still work to do there.
In my opinion, rescuing animals help but not much. We should start from childhood, teaching small kids about loving/protecting the animals. At the same time laws need be set much stricter, punishment enforced harsher for animal cruelty, puppy milling,etc. Also,STOP breeding for sale & vanity. We human species have gotten so much inter-cultural/racial marriages. Nothing wrong with that, why do we have to have pure-bred pets? More over, purebreds mean many more "genetic" health issues to the animals. What for?! Educate the public NOT to buy so-called purebreds. When nobody wants purebreds, the breeders won't get to pump more. I think making ownership cost a lot more (registrations, buying health insurance, dog-bite insurance etc.) might discourage people from buying purebreds??

John Mitchell has stepped down as Lions head coach and will continue as a consultant over the next 12 months.
After a five-month spat between the Johannesburg union and the Kiwi coach, the two parties have agreed final terms.
Mitchell will continue as an advisor and will not be allowed to work at any other South African union or franchise. However, he will be allowed to work overseas and has recently signed a deal with English Premiership club the Sale Sharks.
This comes after the 48-year-old was suspended in June after the players complained about his strict and harsh management ways during Super Rugby. He was found not guilty in November.
Johan Ackermann, who mentored the Lions during the Currie Cup in Mitchell's abence, takes over as head coach on a permanent basis.
'This was made at John's request and we accepted,' Moggee told keo.co.za. 'With the Lions relegated from Super Rugby, he felt there was no use in taking the team forward with Johan also on the management. He believed that Johan had to continue with his progress, after doing well in the Currie Cup.
'John will still add value as an adviser over the next 12 months, as we prepare for the Super Rugby promotion-relegation play-offs.'
Mitchell first joined the Lions in June 2010 and coached the team to their Currie Cup title in 2011.
