Truehornet, that was spoken like only a true gentleman would.
Hey spongey, can we proclaim this "Post of the Year"?
Ive been following the posts on this board for the past couple weeks, eager to respond, eager to throw a jab at the town thats taking my team, but I have restrained myself and cursed and moaned alone in front of my computer. Maybe it's the gorgeous weather we're having in Charlotte today, maybe it's frustration, or maybe it's that I've been watching college basketball all day and remember that this is just a game and one I love. But I thought I would add something fresh and original to the board today. An olive branch of sorts.
Truth is, none of us really know where the Hornets are going to be next season. Most of us think we do. We're sure they'll stay at the Hive, or sure that opening nights gotta be in the Crescent City. But, honestly, if we were so sure I don't think we'd all spend so much time reading and posting on this board. I for one at least know on some level I'm just trying to reassure myself that my team isn't leaving.
I was 11 years old when Charlotte got the Hornets, and I've been a die-hard fan ever since. Last season I posted an editorial in the Charlotte Observer blasting locals for not showing up at the playoffs. Basketball is a big part of my life. Some of my best memories as a kid are Hornets and Tarheel games (watch for the upset tommorow night against Duke!). Point is the Hornets are my team and the team of the 10,000 or so other real fans that still make it to the Hive on game nights.
I know this is business though. George and Ray want to make money. The NBA wants packed houses, and Charlotte has really dropped the ball here with the team and the arena issue. Truth be told I think the Charlotte City Council is leading the league in turnovers this season! The fans are here though. I swear to you they're waiting to come out of hiding. I read a great quote about the notion that the Hornets ownership deserves a great deal of the blame for low attendence. I forget who it was but he wrote that this was like your girlfriend dumps you for another guy, but still wants you to take her out to dinner 3 or 4 times a week. Now its even worse because our ex is bad mouthing us coast to coast for not dining her. My point is I think the people of Charlotte deserve this team simply because its our team. It's not the George and Ray Hornets, its the Charlotte Hornets. Cities develope bonds with a team, and thats why we cheer for them. Its not just about the name on the front of the jersey. Charlotte doesn't want the Magic, or an expansion team. We want our team. The one we've cheered for for 14 seasons.
From the fan support I've witnessed on this board I can also say that New Orleans deserves a team. You guys are hungry for some basketball, and you oughta get it. Obviously, for my sake I hope its not the Hornets. But, honest question: what if the NBA offered NO an expansion team to play next season? Huge hypothetical I know, but my point is that sports succeed because cities identify with their teams. Can you imagine the Yankees moving? Would anyone really feel right taking them? Granted we're not talking about that kind of legacy, but will we ever find that in the NBA if teams are free to move whenever business relations break down between owners and cities?
Anyways, if you've read this rambling I admire your dedication, and thank you for an ear. I just wanted to let everbody know where I was coming from and remind y'all that tonight the Hornets are playing the Sonics. Baron Davis vs. Gary Payton. Sensae vs. grasshopper. We'll be watching here, you guys will be watching there (do you get local coverage yet?). We're all fans of the same team for a little while longer.
Good luck New Orleans! Good luck Charlotte! God help us basketball fans!

Nice post Truehornetfan.
Thanks for bringing some reason and sincerity to the board.
You say you were 11 when the Hornets came to Charlotte and grew up with the team.
I was 12 when the Jazz left New Orleans and have now gone 23 years without a team. The pain of losing the Jazz still stings when I hear the words "Utah Jazz."
If this plays out the way I hope it does (N.O. getting the Hornets), the 12-year old boy still in me will certainly know the pain that you and true fans like you will suffer. And because of that there will be mixed feelings.
I don't know what else to say except that in a perfect world the Hornets would stay and the Jazz would never have left. Charlotte and New Orleans would have NBA teams fighting it out in the same division...just as our NFL teams do.
A football game can't stop hurricanes.
It can't fix levees.
Or rebuild houses.
But it can let a city know...
That it's a city once again.
Welcome back, New Orleans.

Yes! Unfortunately for the Wave, if we play like we did last night, you will win this one. We open the C-USA baseball season here in N.O. with Charlotte on March 15. It should be interesting. Ya'll have a dynamite pitcher in Main.Originally posted by truehornetfan

I met some 49'er fans at the C-USA baseball tourney at Zephyr field last year. They were good people and good sports. I enjoyed meetng them and hope they travel back for the series.
Your lead post hit home to me, too. I was but a lad when the Jazz left, much like Slidell, and I still carry the scars. Admittedly, there are more serious things to carry scars about, but they are my scars and I carry them so there. I, for one, would take an expansion franchise in a heartbeat.
Great post True! You have nailed this thing on the head! Welcome to the board.
We could use more detente, on both sides, and including me. I like what you have started. Let's see if it goes anywhere. I'll do my part.
Never wanted to see NOLA get a team by having a pre-existing one move, but I can't complain about it. I hope you don't lose your team, but I hope we get the team. Can't have it both ways, what to do? Not a pleasant situation, really. Sports teams, in many ways, really do belong to their cities/regions, not in a legal way, though. One good thing often said about sports is that the teams tend to unite communities together that might not otherwise be united.
I wish I had an answer for you regarding this dilemma. I can think of all kinds of possibilities including guarantees of expansion to New Orleans within a set time, etc., but I don't think that is realistic for us. We'd need an owner who'd be willing to bring a team here, Mr. Johnson? So, either way, someone is going to be disappointed. Hope it isn't me as we have been disappointed by the NBA so many times in the last 20 years that I am not sure any other city has gone through it more than us. Has any other city been used so often as a possible landing site for a team possibly moving? I don't know, but I don't think so. Thanks...
Time for some football!!!
I would perfer and expansion team to taking another city's team.
However, I about to make a bold prediction which I know will be a long short , but here it goes:
The NBA goes to the owners of the Hornet before the move and tells them "If you will be willing to sell the Hornets to Robert Johnson, we will award you an expansion franchise to begin play in New Orleans for the 2003-04 season."
That way New Orleans gets the NBA team it wants, Charlotte gets to keep its team and gets new owners, and the NBA prevents another team from moving and gets the major black ownership its been wanting all at the same time.
And everyone is happy.
I know that this will not happen but I can dream can't I. :1pwink:
True Hornets fan, Very well spoken. You have wraped up howe many of us feel here in Charlotte. Most of the posters have to resort to mudslinging. It's on both sides. I have tried to stay out of it as well, but I know I have posted somethings that might have been thought of as negative about NEw Orleans, I hope nobody took it that way. There have been a few jabs here or there, but it been all in fun.
I think that if you look through all the bs that is thrown around on here and Charlotte.com, that you will find some true fans.
I to am a die hard Hornets and Tarheel( no jokes please) and a die hard hoops fan, having played orgainzed ball for 15 years, and many pick up games. I must say that I LOVE THIS GAME. It bothers me to think that we could lose "our" team.
New Orleans fans deseve a team, no doubt, just wish that it wasnt ours.
Rmsvc I like the way you think. Who knows maybe that could happen. I mean if they(NBA) want to keep a team in Charlotte it could be a idea. That would round out the league to 30 teams. You make both cities happy, Shinn and Woolridge can be happy, and Stern is happy, and Johnson is happy. Will this happen probably not, but who knows. It would be the best thing to do, but may not be that easy, to do in 6-7 months time. Maybe a year later. Who knows, maybe you guy's get the Hornets, and we get the expansion team.
You guy's have a great weekend. GO HORNETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think that both cities deserve teams. I suggested New Orleans get the expansion team because of the Hornets being establish in Charlotte already.
As long as we get a team I don't care what it is. It does however make sense to give Charlotte the expansion team because it has time before the new arena will be completed. And eventhough I like the name Hornets a lot, I think they should be able to keep it like I wish we could have kept our name.
PS if we do get a team and have to change the name for god's sake please don't suggest some lame crap just to make it have some local flavor. A team name should be tuff like a dangerous animal

Informal Analysis Seminar - November 16-18, 2012Posted Sep. 12, 2012

Organizers: Analysis Group of Kent State University
Alexander Barvinok (University of Michigan) will talk about "Moment curves and polytopes with many faces"
Abstract: If one seeks to construct a d-dimensional polytope with N vertices and as many faces as possible, a classical argument going back to Caratheodory states that it might be a good idea to take the convex hull of N distinct points on the moment curve (t, t^2, ... , t^d). For example, if d=4 one gets a polytope for which every pair of vertices spans an edge. What if one wants, additionally, the polytope to be symmetric about the origin (such polytopes are needed, for example, for the "sparse signal reconstruction") ? There are many mysteries surrounding centrally symmetric polytopes with many faces. For example, even in dimension 4 the maximum percentage of all pairs of vertices of a centrally symmetric polytope that can span an edge is not known (it is somewhere between 75% and 93.75%). I plan to review the classical construction and then discuss results about the convex hull of the "symmetric moment curve" (sin t, cos t, sin 3t, cos 3t, ..., sin (2k-1)t, cos (2k-1)t) obtained by Seung Jin Lee, Isabella Novik and myself.
Marianna Csörnyei (University of Chicago) will talk about"Differentiability of Lipschitz functions and tangents of sets."
Abstract: We will show how elementary product decompositions ofmeasures can detect directionality in sets, and show how this can beused to describe non-differentiability sets of Lipschitz functions on R^n, and to understand the phenomena that occur because of behavior of Lipschitz functions around the points of null sets.
In order to prove this we will need to prove results about thegeometry of sets of small Lebesgue measure: we show that sets of small measureare always contained in a "small" collection of Lipschitz surfaces.
The talks are based on a joint work with G. Alberti, P. Jones and D. Preiss.

Specifically in North America, and the Continental 48 States, other than the Sierra Nevada and Teton Ranges, what are some ranges that are growing upward? No volcanoes, since they can just as easily blow themselves up and out as grow upward.
Anyone know of any information that speculates on potential maximum elevation that the Sierra, Tetons, or other growing ranges could achieve?

Well, it wasn't the easiest way to get to the beach.
But last Saturday a dozen women from Alamance and Guilford counties completed the Tuna Run 200, a relay from Raleigh to Atlantic Beach. And they did it five hours faster than they had predicted.
"Moon Shiners … Always on the Run," was one of 63 teams and only one of three all-female teams to compete in the 36-hour, 200-mile run last weekend. With members from Burlington, Elon, Gibsonville and Whitsett, ranging in age from 25 to 50, and with occupations from high school teacher to physical therapist to clinical research associate, the group was diverse to say the least.
They were quick to discover, runners are quick to create community. It also took some preparation.
On Oct. 13, the group met at Elke Ruggaber's home in Burlington to plan out the transportation, sleeping, hydration and food schedules for the relay. The women were taking two vans, packing six runners — sweaty from their last legs — pillows, extra clothes, toiletries, and food into each.
Each runner had three legs of the race to run, for a total of 36 in the 200-mile race. Some legs were longer distances, based on individuals' ability. They ran at the crack of dawn. They ran at midnight. They ran in the rain.
Those running in the nighttime — defined as 6 p.m. Friday to 7 a.m. Saturday — had to wear yellow safety vests and flashing clip-on lights, for safety reasons, even though it was a full moon the night of Friday, Oct. 18.
"That's why we're the 'Moon Shiners,'" said Jana Tasich, 31, a science teacher at Western Alamance High School.
Tasich was one of the teammates who'd never run a relay or marathon before the Tuna Run 200, and was along for the ride with some of the more seasoned runners.
Veronica Allen, 25, an orchestra and Spanish teacher at Williams High School, tackled the longest mileage of the team, running 23.94 miles over her three legs.
Mandy Tipton, 34, a clinical research associate at UNC Chapel Hill, brought some much-needed experience, having run the 208-mile Blue Ridge Relay twice.
"I have logistical experience," she said. "Whatever's not covered in the (runner's) handbook, I can explain."
That included making sure everyone on the two vans had assigned seats.
"It's not something you really think about until you're stuck in a van with six people for 36 hours," Tipton said.
Though sweaty and less-than-fresh-smelling at times, Ruggaber said the packed vans actually made for great bonding sessions.
"It was really, really great to see the camaraderie," she said. "It was so much fun.
Ruggaber said throughout the race, the van carrying the runners of the next legs were allowed to meet up with the team's current runner at predetermined spots to offer water and to cheer her on. That was especially helpful for one runner, Traci Little, 44, a physical therapist at Alamance Regional Medical Center.
Little had to run an 8-mile stretch in the middle of the night, in pouring rain.
"She did great," Ruggaber said.
When it got to the very last leg of the race, run by Shelli Altopp-Miller, 42, a social worker with the Alamance-Burlington School System, Ruggaber said the team ran the last 100 yards together.
Ruggaber said the team had to recalculate what time Altopp-Miller would cross the finish line at Atlantic Beach, because everyone had overestimated how long each mile would take them.
She said when they calculated everyone's average times and applied them to their corresponding legs, the estimated time was 38 hours and 30 minutes. "Moon Shiners … Always on the Run" completed the relay in 33 hours and 54 minutes.
"So we all went much faster," Ruggaber said. "We were all really happy."

Water restrictions information can be searched by State or Territory, water agency and restriction name. Water restriction names and rules vary throughout Australia due to local requirements.
Waubra is located between Learmonth and Lexton along the Sunraysia Highway approximately 30 km north-west of Ballarat.
Current Restriction
Permanent water saving rules are a set of common sense rules to ensure we use water efficiently and allow flexibly in when and how we use water. They are designed to ensure customers use water sensibly and avoid waste. The key permanent water saving rules are:

Gardens and lawns:
- Only water a residential garden or lawn using:
- a hand-held hose, bucket or watering can at any time; or
- a watering system between the hours of 6 pm-10 am on any day.
Fountains and water features:
- Water can be used in a fountain or a water feature if the fountain or water feature recirculates the water.
Hard surfaces:
- Water can be used to clean driveways, paths, concrete, tiles and timber decking only if:
- cleaning is required as a result of an accident, fire, health hazard, safety hazard or other emergency; or
- staining to the surface has developed and then only once a season; or
- due to construction or renovation,
and then only using:
- a high pressure water cleaning device;

The two ratings are Batting Average and GHI. Both are defined below.
BA: The total number of stars achieved divided by the total possible stars a concert can achieve. Each song can achieve a total possible 5 stars, 5 being the best, 0 being the worst. Therefore, each show receives anywhere from a 1.0 to a .001.
GHI: This rating is used in The Phish Companion 2nd Ed. Each show is given a score from 0 to 5, five being the best and 0 being the worst.
The two scores are synonymous. I like the BA form better because each show receives a score closer to its worth depending on how you rated it.

Regional Value Differences in Home Remodeling and Additions
In New England, unlike most other regions, window replacements are worth more than kitchen and bathroom remodels. On the Pacific coast, siding replacement slides way down the cost-value scale, and kitchen remodels top the list. Within regions and even within cities, however, there are further variations. Consult local real estate agents and experienced remodelers about the most popular and valuable projects in your area. Their estimates and experiences may differ from the Cost vs. Value report.
The Cost vs. Value report provides valuable estimates for the return on investment of a variety of home improvement projects, but adjust the numbers based on local expertise.

About the Program
The Department of Recreational Services, in collaboration with the Division of Enrollment Management and Student Affairs, the Office of the Provost and the Undergraduate Student Government are pleased to offer this new bike sharing initiative to the Kent State University community.
Bike sharing is a unique concept that enables multiple users to borrow bikes for short-term use. Our mission is to provide affordable, easily accessible and environmentally sustainable transportation throughout Kent State.
By affordable, we mean free! Students, faculty and staff simply need to visit one of six designated locations on campus to sign out a bike using their Flashcard. Guests, who are at least 18 years of age and possess a valid driver's license, are also allowed to participate in the program as long as the student or staff member assumes liability.
Flashfleet, a second-generation bike share system, was developed from concerns over rising fuel costs, traffic congestion across campus, consistent enrollment increases each semester, physical fitness and a greater consciousness about climate change.
With the 2010-11 school year as its inaugural season, Flashfleet is the first step in creating a heightened awareness of the bike culture on campus. The success of this year and the research collected will be used to determine future program endeavors.

My first purchase, but I will be back. I bought a rug to put just inside my front door. My husband gives violin lessons and all his students enter through that door. I have spent many hours and dollars trying to find the perfect rug for the spot. Yours is a good design, lays flat and doesn't move. The door opens easily over it. Thanks

Oracle says Java is fixed; feds maintain warning
Monday - 1/14/2013, 5:46pm EST
By RYAN NAKASHIMA
Associated Press
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Oracle Corp. said Monday it has released a fix for the flaw in its Java software that raised an alarm from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security last week. Even after the patch was issued, the federal agency continued to recommend that users disable Java in their Web browsers.
"This and previous Java vulnerabilities have been widely targeted by attackers, and new Java vulnerabilities are likely to be discovered," DHS said Monday in an updated alert published on the website of its Computer Emergency Readiness Team. "To defend against this and future Java vulnerabilities, consider disabling Java in Web browsers until adequate updates are available."
The alert follows on the department's warning late Thursday. Java allows programs to run within websites and powers some advertising networks. Users who disable Java may not be able to see portions of websites that display real-time data such as stock prices, graphical menus, weather updates and ads.
Vulnerability in the latest version, Java 7, was "being actively exploited," the department said.
Java 7 was released in 2011. Oracle said installing its "Update 11" will fix the problem.
Security experts said that special code to take advantage of the weakness is being sold on the black market through so-called "Web exploit packs" to Internet abusers who can use it to steal credit card data, personal information or cause other harm.
The packs, sold for upwards of $1,500 apiece, make complex hacker codes available to relative amateurs. This particular flaw even enables hackers to compromise legitimate websites by taking over ad networks. The result: users are redirected to malicious sites where damaging software can be loaded onto their computers.
The sale of the packs means malware exploiting the security gap is "going to be spread across the Internet very quickly," said Liam O'Murchu, a researcher with Symantec Corp. "If you have the opportunity to turn it off, you should."
Oracle said it released two patches _ to address the flaw highlighted by the government, as well as another flaw that the government said was "different but equally severe."
As well, the patches set Java's default security level to "high" so that users will automatically be shown a prompt and given a chance to decline malicious software before it loads onto their computers.
Disabling Java completely in browsers has a similar effect, however. When websites appear without crucial functions, users can click a button to turn Java back on.
Making users aware when Java programs are about to be installed gives users a 50/50 chance of avoiding malware, said Kurt Baumgartner, a senior security researcher with Kaspersky Lab.
Many programmers are avoiding Java altogether, and its use in Web browsers is on the decline, he said.
Kaspersky Lab estimated that last year 50 percent of all website exploitations were due to vulnerabilities in Java. Adobe's Acrobat Reader accounted for another 28 percent of vulnerabilities.

Looks fine to me. If you got it again at Fragrancenet - no worries IMO.
Thread: Creed Queries & Discussions.
well, hi there.
This is my second bottle GIT, my first bottle was a tester from fragrancenet, which I believed to be real, had a lot number engraved on the bottom, and smelled just like in the store, and had a noticeable difference to my cool water. Fast forward about 1.5~2 years I'm out and its time to order a new one... just so happens i had a bonus 20% off any order waiting in my email (how convienint )
Anyways my problem with this bottle (gut says its real, but brain saying the stuff isn't matching)
Things that trigger me to think its not real (compared to other threads I have seen on the net):
The box, no gold emblem on the front,
Different looking back side,
Inside, missing the card of authenticity (i think that is what its called)
not the card with the pictures on it but the other one with all the writing (seen in other threads)
On the bottle... no engraved lot number on the buttom rim
I've read some things yelling its fake, others saying its grey market.
here are a bunch of photos, maybe you guys can help me.
as far as smell, It smells like i remember my old one (been empty for 4 months now :S )
Thank you in advanced for your help

Again thank you for your help
Looks fine to me. If you got it again at Fragrancenet - no worries IMO.
Looks real, nice crisp embossing on the box, correct cap and nozzle, if it's from Walgreens/Fragrancenet it's fine. 2011 batch if the whole code thing is correct. For some reason GIT does seem to get stronger once some air gets into the bottle.
Notice how the word MILLESIME has an ' over the E.....
I notice your box doesn't the MILLESIME spelled with the ' on the front.
Notice how the back doesn't have MILLESIME with the ' over the E.
Creed does this to throw off counterfeiters.
Toilet water engraved text alert! FAKE!!!!!
Just kidding. White inside the sprayer and legit lot number that matches the bottle...it's real brotato.
"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
Thanks for the quick replies,
This is what is throwing me off
there is no engraved serial number, and the box is completely different from others I've seen, different fonts, missing gold, and different layout.
Frosty, what year did you purchase yours? and what lot code year does yours have?
I'm wondering if they changed box designed b/c by code mines 2011 production year. (which is pretty new, i'll have to check my old bottle when I get home bought it in 09 I believe )
smell, is very similar to what i remember my old bottle ( that had engraved lot number)
Well actually that's not even mine....I have seen a bottle like yours in this perfume shop that is sketchy.
Here is the website tho. This guy gives a full comprehensive breakdown of the real vs fake.
Hope this helps.
It has an engraved # just not on the rim. Please stop being paranoid. They change the boxes all the time also. If you got it from fragrancenet its real end of story.

hehe spraying toilet water on myself :P
Thanks frosty, that was one of the threads that confused me :S
No problem man....so do you think its the real deal or what???
hehe spraying toilet water on myself :P
Thanks frosty, that was one of the threads that confused me :S
I just checked my boxes, have two current GIT's, neither has the accent over the Millesime, and there are other differences, my batch is another 2011 one. I have gold trim and sides are somewhat different, mine says fondee a londres en 1760 on the front as well. I think the boxes do vary a lot from country to country. The batch I have matches the number of a batch that someone on BN got at the Paris store. I think there are a lot of grey market differences. The main thing is the bottle and the scent, and I'm sure mine is not fake. The fakes tend to have misspellings. Mine has eau de parfum on the sticker on the bottom, yours says toilet water, which I think is used in different countries, as I've heard of that occurring, plus no engraving on the back of mine and lot number is ink jet printed on the bottom. It's a nightmare trying to keep up with the differences in authentic stuff.
As of late last year Creed took the gold of several of the boxes...helps lower their packaging cost. The sharpness of the box embossing and the distinctive stamping in the cap tell me your bottle is the real deal. Fakes of GIT and Original Vetiver are all over eBay, however.
multipost lag
Thanks Mesa, That is why I'm thinking it is real also.
It smells real, and its from a reputable dealer, not an ebay special
-Heperd, that is exactly why I posted here, hoping someone like you would confirm they change the box design
Thank you all!
Martin and Puig, Thank you!!
Sounds like you have a real one man....I wouldn't worry. You got it from Fragrancenet their legit.
p.s., Correct me if I'm wrong but the fakes don't have lot numbers that I recall, and I'm sure someone here has the same lot as you do.
So how much did you score it for with the 20% off?
Want to trade - Chanel Platinum Egoiste for Dior Eau Sauvage...
picked it up for $136
Could of got another tester for $110, but I wanted the cap and box :S haha,
my old tester was good, but had no cap or box, so it was more difficult to travel with, and the cap looks cool ! :P
I might of been able to get it from Walgreens for cheaper, theirs is listed at $140
It's definitely legit. I have this bottle too and got it from CheapSmells here in the UK.
It's real, but the most telling aspect is the smell.
That being said, the fake I got aside from the smell being way off, had a bunch of telling signs. Details commonly missed are the white plastic under the sprayer, "creed" absent from the sprayer top, and the cap being 1 piece instead of 2. Also my box said "Yreen Irish Tweed"...so yea.
It's real. I too have exactly the same bottle, i.e. plain white logo on box, no gold trim, etc.
Good cap, good nozzle, good card...all good and genuine.
Slight difference though is that mine has the lot no. engraved on the bottom rim. But I wouldn't be too worried if I were you.
The bottle showed by frostyicy is probably a more recent version of the box, which has the accent over the 'e' in 'Millesime'. This happens with my more recent acquisitions, e.g. Royal Oud and Silver Mountain Water.
Looks completely real to me. The box is the same one I bought back in February. I would have no worries buying from Fragrancenet. With their clientele, if they sold fakes, they would be out of business really fast.
One thing people keep missing is that all fragrances change over time, especially ones with a lot of natural materials in them. This is not necessarily a bad thing as I think the better brands actually improve with a little age, like the better wines. If your previous GIT was several years old by the time you finished it, it would smell different from a fresh batch and probably different from when you first bought it.

Pretty sure he figured out it was real yesterday. Probably wont be back for another couple of years when he buys another bottle and needs to verify its authenticity.

hehe ^
I don't take it personal
I'm very active over on a photography forum so i feel what you're saying
Thanks everyone,
My old bottle was an 08 batch purchased in 09 when i was a sophomore in college, It's my most complemented fragrance,
I used the last of it back in december on my trip to china.
This will probably be the only one i take with me on my upcoming trip to thailand for 6months~ just need to be sure to pack it in the check baggage!
Also feel free to use any of the pictures in a "real/fake" GIT thread

I had a 5d2 +24-70L and 70-200 2.8L, It was my work horse.
Just sold it all and picked up a X-pro1 + all three lenses (Hate traveling with a dslr)
here is an image from today :P
Creed by Nathaniel.Allen, on Flickr
have to pay for it still myself x.x, but the cost of living over there is a lot less then what it is here , same with traveling once you get there.
since this thread is open related with GIT fake or not... I have a question I've seen most of the time GIT is a black bottle I saw one in ebay which is a transparent bottle why is that? any difference?
Bottle colours for GIT really is a FAQ. The black bottle is simply the large size, 120ml. All other sizes are clear (see-through).
- - - Updated - - -
Bite the bullet and buy the real thing from N-M, Creed boutique, etc., and if you can't get to a bricks and mortar store, buy online from them. That way you will know that it is real, you will not be supporting the gray market and you will have recourse if something goes wrong. Luxury costs money and if you cannot afford to pay retail, then buy something else that is within your budget. It is a wonderful scent---great taste on your part!
I had the chance to finally sample Aventus. From what I've been reading on BN, I expected one exceptional fragrance.
I like it but certainly not exceptional. For example, I find more complexity and excitement in Azzaro PH.
I have a feeling it gets all the attention in the world just because it's expensive so people automatically think it's exceptional?
What do you think?
The reason it gets so much love is because it has all the mass appeal of the lowest common denominator mass market scents, but still lets people feel superior and snobbish because they spent $100-200 on a bottle of scent that "nobody else is wearing."
Snobby + (compliment)slutty = community hype.

It is definitely a little overrated (it is a good smell, but I have a couple of scents that I enjoy more), but one can't deny that it is an absolute all-star at getting compliments. Just count how many times you see the name "Aventus" on the stickied compliments thread. That's why it is so exceptional in my mind.
I've only had my bottle for a week, but I fully expect it to become my most complimented fragrance.
I think it's a good fragrance because to me it smells great. It's as simple as that for me.
I'm convinced Creed has included in Aventus some new synthetic. I have a tough time smelling it after 20-30 minutes, but other people, especially women, notice it.
I know they're Creed, they're jerks, snob appeal, etc, etc, etc,.. But I go off of my own experience.
I'm a mature fellow. Really, really old to many of you. Every time I've worn it, women have liked it. Sometimes young women. You can think I'm flacking For Creed for all I care. But they got something right in that one.
I gave mine away- if I can't smell it, I can't wear it.
I got a sample and wore it for a few days, and in the process, I let my nose decide. That's the only way one should make a purchase like Aventus.
Aventus is interesting because it's VERY mass appeal without smelling cheap or needy. Needy? Yeah, needy. When I smell things like Guilty or 1 Million, I smell desperation. OH, GOD, PLEASE NOTICE ME!!! DON'T YOU NOTICE HOW LOUD YET SWEET I SMELL? Those scents scream for attention. Aventus has the fruity pineapple top that makes it easy to notice, but the smokey base keeps it from being a teen scent. It's youthful yet elegant. A confident 25 ear old could wear it, but so could a cheerful 55 year old. It might also be a bit snobby. I hope not, but, I've been told it smells kind of country-club-ish. Two women told me that, but both smelled it on paper rather than on my skin.
Aventus is Creed's attempt to cross over from niche to mainstream, and I suspect they're doing a better job of it than even they thought they would. Aventus is easy to like, and it's selling beyond their original hopes.
Frankly, I think we're going to see more of this from other niche houses. It's smart to make a few scents that are very mass appeal to bring new customers into your line, while also making many niche appeal scents for your loyal customers. It's good for business... but it only works if the niche appeal scents are excellent and the mass appeal scents don't damage your brand identity. Love 'em or hate 'em, I think Creed does a good job with that balancing act.
I know this will read as blasphemy here, but I believe someone like Andy Tauer could increase sales 4X by creating one scent that is a mass appeal version of what he does. Use it as a hook to bring non-niche people into his line. That's what Creed is doing with Aventus. It's what they did with GIT, though I think GIT was a bit less intentional (meaning, Aventus is a blatant attempt at creating a mass appeal scent, whereas I think GIT's success was a happy accident). I think that's the trick for any niche: create a few (FEW!) mass appeal scents to bring new customers into a high end and high quality niche line.
It good for business.
The main problem with hype is that it's often implied we should love whatever the hypers love. But if you pay attention, you'll notice that some of those hyping a frag today will be selling the frag in a few months because they bought into the hype rather than trusting their own noses.
So... to the OP: You weren't thrilled with Aventus? CONGRATULATIONS! You were wise enough to trust your own nose instead of buying into the hype, and you saved yourself money. Sweet, eh? The good news is, there are plenty of scents that you'll love. Choose one of those instead.
Like I said, I love Aventus, but I think the hype is silly, and I DON'T buy into the idea that it's the ultimate scent. I get more compliments when I wear things like Gucci Pour Homme II ($73), Bvlgari Black ($40) or Curve ($15!). Aventus is a scent I love, and I bought for myself and wear for myself. It's a people pleaser, and that's great! It's also excellent as a room freshener. I'm not kidding. I spray a cotton ball and stick it in the desk drawer I keep my pens and pencils in. Sounds silly? Maybe, but man oh man, whenever I reach in there for something, it smells great, and the scent from 1 spray lasts for weeks.
tl;dr: Buy what you love and love what you buy. Hype is silly. Trust your nose.
I find it to be exceptionally just okay.
I think you have to give them some credit. It's not for the older crowd and it's meant to be a crowd pleaser, but they did it first and they used reasonably decent ingredients. I get by with Zara's Gold and don't wear it often but the smoky pineapple idea is one I like.

Mostly its the countless new threads it inspires including the one I made for Aventus as well as the fact that its a damn good fragrance.
Its attention-whore, air-freshener vibe.
It may be overrated, but there is usually a reason a fragrance becomes popular. Sure, you can disregard the fragrance and say it gets compliments (I've owned it for a few months and I have yet to be complimented, so...), but as seen in those parentheses over there, it's not always the case. I decided to try Aventus because I liked the note profile, and because it was popular around here. I trust those who give advice around here, since, as Blake would put it, they live in a world of experience, whereas I live in a world of innocence (see, ignorance) when it comes to fragrances.
Naturally, as I smell more, I get more experience, but when someone said "Hey, try Aventus," I did just that. I love the scent, and for me it's as simple as that. It's one of those fragrances that comes along and makes you feel comfortable.
That's enough for me.
The unicorn tears in the mix - it's magical stuff
I absolutely love it. It is unlike anything else. Great longevity. The first time my wife smelled it she said "WOW!". She has no idea what it costs. She never heard of Basenotes - or Creed. She loved the way it smelled. Period. I suspect 95% of people who compliment someone wearing Aventus have also never hear of it before. So, to attribute the love of Aventus to the "hype" is incorrect.
Aventus is one of the most versatile fragrances on the market. It can be worn day or evening, summer or winter, casual or formal. It is not adored simply because of it's high price. It is not any more expensive than other Creed fragrances. It is actually less expensive than many other lines like Xerjoff, Puredistance, Clive Christian, or even the Royal Exclusives line from Creed- all of which are less "hyped" despite being more expensive.
I love the stuff. It doesn't matter to me who else loves it or hates it - it won't change my feelings towards it. Oddly, it seems like the "haters" are more obsessed with it than the fans. That is the real question... why are people who don't like it so obsessed with it?
I scratch my head wondering why people like Dior Leather Oud or Creed Imperial Millesime. I guess everyone likes their own thing - it doesn't always have to make sense to everyone else. It would be kind of boring if everyone wore the same thing anyway.

1. Xerjoff - Nio
2. Creed - Aventus

Here is one of those things that can either amaze or scare people, a thinking computer. Well it's not really, it is though a step on the way of brain simulation.
engadget said:
IBM Research, in collaboration with DARPA's Systems of Neuromorphic Adaptive Plastic Scalable Electronics (SyNAPSE) program, has reached another brain simulation milestone. Powered by its new TrueNorth system on the world's second fastest supercomputer, IBM was capable of crafting a 2.084 billion neurosynaptic cores and 100 trillion synapses -- all at a speed "only" 1,542 times slower than real life. The abstract explains that this isn't a biologically realistic simulation of the human brain, but rather mathematically abstracted -- and little more dour -- versions steered towards maximizing function and minimizing cost. DARPA's SyNAPSE project aims to tie together supercomputing, neuroscience and neurotech for a future cognitive computing architecture far beyond what's running behind your PC screen at the moment.

Water stewardship
A matter of business value and risk
Most of us take the widespread availability of water for granted – but for business leaders, that can be a costly mistake. Water scarcity is already an issue in many emerging economies; global demand for water has doubled over just the past 50 years, and investors are beginning to demand greater transparency in corporate water management practices. Global competition for access to water is poised to become one of business's high-profile risks—as well as an opportunity for those who are prepared.
A new article from Deloitte, "Water stewardship: A matter of business value and risk," explores ways a company can pursue the opportunities and proactively manage the risks by:
- Uncovering potential business opportunities in the form of new products and services that may be driven by increased competition for water
- Demonstrating brand leadership by seizing the opportunity to meet a shared challenge and build strong relationships with key stakeholders
- Identifying and mitigating the current and potential risks that lack of adequate water access across the value chain might pose to the organization
Learn how an effective water stewardship strategy may help corporate leaders strengthen their business continuity planning efforts, foster innovation, and protect and increase brand value.

|Completed Puzzle Size: 5.5 in x 5.5 in x 5.5 in / 14 cm x 14 cm x 14 cm
|Plastic Zipper Pouch
Product Description
Note: Comes unassembled.
These wooden put together puzzles are made by Tom Longtin. Laser cut to exactly fit in place. These wooden puzzles are more a work of art then they are a puzzle. Still challenging to put together but rewarding to see the final product.
The puzzles are the perfect size for a bookshelf or desk accessory. They are also light-weight, and make great mobiles by tying a loop of string around them.
The 100% recycled material is attractive on its own, however, the sculptures can be painted -- either acrylic or oil-based paint works well. The sculptures may also be gently disassembled by inserting a small, narrow blade (like a pen-knife) between the interlocking tabs, and can be assembled and disassembled over and over.
Tom Longtin is a brilliant graphic artist, computer programmer, and mathematical sculptor.
- made in Vermont of 100% recycled material
- parts snap together; no gluing necessary
- puzzle comes with illustrated instruction sheet
- number of pieces: 24

Managing Aplications In Windows Mobile 6.5
by bullheadmike - 4/8/11 10:06 PM
I used to use a Palm Centro ( Palm OS Based) so I'm used to the way it handled Applications. In it you could put your applications in different categories. Like most used, or never used. So you would not have to scroll though junk you don't use to get to the application you want .
Now I'm using a Palm Treo Pro. A Windows Mobile 6.5 phone. It seems to simply put all applications together in alphabetical order. A real pain. I don't use half the applications pre-loaded on the phone, so i have to scroll though the Junk.. To get to the one I want. I did delete some off the phone, but he system will not let me delete most of the pre-loaded apps.
Any way to get around the can't delete pre-loaded apps??? Any way to put applications in categories?? Then i could have most used, never used, etc..
I thank you all for your kind help and assistance.

Fallen Angel - Thanks a lot, yes I gotta work on the backgrounds more,
its weird that I somehow "didnt notice" that, and yet I see how I could take much more profit of the characthers by working into that
anyway, cant start till weekend when I get my pen tablet back home from work

The Following User Says Thank You to josowicz For This Useful Post:
June 16th, 2011 #15
Jessibelle - Thanks!! Im glad to meet you here aswell, tho i dont know what was your name on Flickr?
Josowicz - Im glad that you ask,
about my process: aint much special usually look through my archive of photos to get a preview of some anathomy or body pose or face that feels like it could be nice and then start working sketches using parts and adding new parts, etc creating a composition, and adding elements
thats pretty much about it im not too good when it comes to techniques, I just do as I think its right but I have no deep theory of "how its properly done",
about the synesthesia that you mention, overall its pretty much a "brain fart", there is for me no deep message, specially for the more concept art oriented pieces, sometimes I do take a grasp on simbolism and abstract concept to strength and idea and suggest some trains of thought but definitely I prefer that everything is open to interpretation,
if we paint ficticious worlds its cool that anybody can still feel like he can live in them without a philosophical pre-step needed to enter

Juniversal - Thanks a lot, Im glad that you like
Also, following the advices I recieved here im reworking the background for the "Liz" piece, im posting a progress, its very sketchy thing and Im working on a layer just on top of everything so I go faster, ill create a hole for the fig with a mask once Im done =)
might do a bit deformation on the figure to match the new bg perspective aswell, but im not sure its gonna be needed,
Liz + background rework
June 19th, 2011 #22
Looks cool,
some crit about the pink/purple girl picture (just love that one) i think you should play a bit more with the contrast of the character and the back ground, just to make her "pop out" a bit more.
And here is something that i thing you should give a try:
I't's a "Ballisticpublishing" exotique 7 entries call, give it a try... with some more work spent i think you can compete on that level too.

AbsorbenGhost - Sorry mate I think you got to the wrong thread
June 19th, 2011 #25
So I am going to ask a few questions because I really like your stuff:
1. Are those regular moleskine sketchbooks, do they handle watercolor well? I have a Moleskine sketchbook, it got wet and left wet marks. So I am afraid that watercolor would be bad.
2. Do you use photo reference for those girls?
Thank you for reading.

Vay - Hey there, just gonna repply and then im off to bed! (0:03 here)
1.- They are the ones with the heavy pages, with a bit yellow tone, not sure if they got a special name, but as said the pages are heavy
they dont actually handle water too good, because they've used a lot of "celulosa" (thats in spanish.. cellulose?) or silicone something that makes the pages actually a bit water repelling, I guess they did coated the pages that way cause its meant for pencil and graphite (still not the best coating for that) but still that "water-proof" quality of the paper its cool for me its produces different effects even if its technically speaking "doing it wrong"
also there is some kind of moleskine meant for watercolors with proper paper, but its different, instead of book like its in landscape format
2.- Yes, I use references, usually not a "whole girl" I start with a face or a bare body position and then i change the arms, legs etc and look for new references for specific parts of the body if I dont have clear how they are supposed to be.. for example in the piece named "Sacred" I used a full reference for the face, meaning I didnt stray much from the photo but then for the armor and the lancer I went mostly from memory
on "Liz" which is the first image on the thread I went most of it by memory, and now im using references of real castles for the background
So short answer : yes I use references, but I'm trying to avoid just nailing down photos and trying to always add, modify do this kind of "frankenstein" thing so my mind dosnt get too lazy

Good morning,
So I experimented a bit more with the BG on this one
looks better now, I was holding to not break the color scheme of blue/pink but I think it was needed to add more tones so the characther indeed could break from the background and add depth
Let me know your thoughs!! also added a bit of neon glow effect and so
June 21st, 2011 #28
The final piece now, I modified a bit more the lights, colors and redrawn that planet on the top
its final!! or.... at least for now!

The hook may be left loose to allow a swivel effect or be fully tightened. BENDING INSTRUCTIONS To match your custom wet suit or dry suit design, bend one arm of the hanger at a time. For best results, bend your hanger by hand or over the knee. CARE AND MAINTENANCE Periodically rinse the entire hanger with fresh water and towel dry.

Enter data in the fields provided. If an input is out of range an alert will appear.
Click "Update" or tab to another field to see node voltages annotate the schematic on the right. Internal node voltages are for the equivalent 3-opamp circuit, assuming a 0.5V level shift. This may not reflect the actual internal implementation.
If the combination of inputs causes internal or external limits to be exceeded, the problem node value will be highlighted in red and an "Out of Range!" message will appear. When this message is present, all node values should be considered invalid.
Only one of "Gain" or "RG" can be specified - the other is computed automatically.
No special issues are known to exist with this calculator at this time.
