Are some of us living too long? Much in life can become too much, maybe life itself. Living well even into a second century is fine, but sheer vegetation at any age is stupid. What sense was there in keeping Ariel Sharon in a semi-life state for years? It's not active euthanasia I'm contemplating, just the artificial preservation of minimal existence.
The medical profession seems to have lost (if it ever had) a sense of balance and proportion about worthwhile intervention. "Do no harm" is a fine motto, but does it mean "Try not to let any harm ever happen"? Life involves pain and death; they cannot be eliminated.
Foolish medical treatment may be driven by fear of litigation. It might be a kind of heroism, fighting death until the last bullet. Or it might be a futile hope for recovery in the face of extremely negative odds. I suspect that there are financial motives too for both doctors and hospitals — they get paid for useless efforts as well as helpful.
It's not nice to tell doctor or patient to give up. By the time it's clearly appropriate the patient is usually incapable of decision and medical people are afraid of it. Add to this the role of family. Are they trying to save or eliminate the relative, again with money lurking in the background?
We have tried to resolve this dilemma with advance medical directives, written instructions about what interventions we wish to have or not when we are unable to make the decision ourselves. That helps a little but ignores the variety of states and conditions to which it could be applied. Dire straits are not always terminal; remedies are sometimes possible for restoration to quality life. But some physicians will grasp at straws even when they're told not to do so.
Quality of life is a difficult factor in deciding about elaborate medical treatment because people differ radically on what makes life worth living. You hear people say, "I'd rather be dead than…." — complete the sentence with some diminished but livable conditions that one does not prefer. Certainly we should not give up too soon.
Nevertheless, I think that most people could agree that preserving brain dead bodies is silly, unless one can harvest usable organs for transplanting. But who is brave enough to pull the plug?

NEWORLEANS- The addiction to nicotine is as strong as dangerous street drugs. It's hard to stop because smokers' brains are full of nicotine-craving receptors.
But there is a free study that can help.
For a couple of years now, smokers here have been part of a worldwide study to quit. Last year, Casandra Spiers said it worked for her.
'The cravings did kind of go away. My sensations got a lot stronger. Even today when I'm around cigarette smoke, I'm, it really annoys me, the smell of it,' Spiers said last year.
'We've had extreme effectiveness with this program. Out of 111 people who are enrolled to date, only five have not either completely stopped smoking or significantly decreased smoking,' explained Dr. Eileen Palace, the study director in Metairie.
The study is continuing with a year of free medical exams, mental therapy and medications. But in this phase, they are looking for smokers with mood or anxiety symptoms, post traumatic stress, or depression, because these patients have different needs.
'(They) are more likely to smoke, probably because they use it as a coping mechanism, have more difficulty quitting, and are more likely to have withdrawals, side effects and relapse,' said Dr. Palace.
Everyone in the study will get free therapy. Some will also get one of three other medications or patches that are already on the market and proven effective for smoking cessation.
'All of us in New Orleans, you know, who doesn't have some history of depressed mood or anxiety or post traumatic stress, and I think this is a really great opportunity to really make a change following Lent. Pick something that is going to cause a permanent and durable improvement in your life and happiness,' she added.
The study is looking for smokers 18 to 75 years old. Call 504-834-4500 to see if you qualify. Dr. Palace runs The Center for Sexual Health in Metairie.

A Groovy script is a sequence of statements:
When defining classes, we can provide 'asType' methods to convert the class into another using the 'as' operator. Classes we've seen in previous tutorials that convert to another using 'as' (eg, Integer, BigDecimal, String) use the 'asType' method under the hood:
We can use 'as' to convert a list into a class instance using the list elements as constructor arguments:
Conditional Statements
The if and if-else statements let us choose subsequent statements to execute based on a condition:
The meaning of the 'in' operator depends whether its context in the code is conditional or iterative. When in a conditional context, the 'isCase' method of the target is invoked:
The switch statement inspects an expression and resumes execution from the first matching case-expression, ie, regex matched, list or set or range contained in, class an instance of, or object equal to:
When we supply our own values in the case-expression, the 'isCase' method is invoked to determine whether or not the switch-expression is matched. If there's no 'isCase' method, the 'equals' method is used to test for equality:
Iterative Statements
The while statement lets us iterate through a block of code:
We've already seen the 'each' and other related method calls, which emulate the while-statement at a higher level of abstraction, but with some restrictions: the loop variable isn't available outside the loop, no guarantees are made about the order of iteration through the collection, and the 'break', 'continue', and 'return' commands aren't available:
Other method calls that loop are 'times', 'upto', 'downto', and 'step'. Like 'each', they don't allow 'break', 'continue', and 'return' commands, but do make guarantees about the order of iteration:
We can label any statement with a name. Labelling a while loop lets any arbitrarily deep nested statement break out of or continue on from it:
For-statements are complex yet powerful iterative statements with many possible formats. When 'in' is used in the iterative context of a for-statement, the 'iterator' method of the target is invoked. The 'iterator' method must return an Iterator, defining at least the 'hasNext' and 'next' methods:
The for-statement works with many kinds of objects (eg, Collection, array, Map, String, regex, File, Reader, InputStream, etc):
We can use 'break' and 'continue' within a for-loop using 'in':
'each' methods can also be considered as emulating for-loops at a higher level of abstraction, without the guarantees about the order of iteration, and the 'break', 'continue', and 'return' commands being unavailable:
Another format for the for-statement is the initializer-condition-incrementer format:
We can have more than one initializer, and more than one incrementer:
Operator Overloading
The precedence heirarchy of the operators, some of which we haven't looked at yet, is, from highest to lowest:
We've seen how the 'as' operator is mapped to the asType() method, and how the 'in' operator is mapped to the isCase() and iterator() methods. Many more operators have equivalent method names. We've seen how [] subscripting has equivalent methods getAt() and putAt() in the HashMap class. They are also equivalent when we define such methods on our own classes:
We've also seen how various operators have equivalent method names in the numerical classes, such as Integer, BigDecimal, float, etc. They, too, are also equivalent when we define such methods on our own classes:

Thankfully, no fragrance I own and only fragrances I have tested on paper - thus, not much washing off needed, simply getting rid of the testing strips was enough.

I don't have a signature fragrance. My signature changes a little bit every day, why shouldn't my fragrance?
Hanae Mori HM EDP. Vile, cloying to me and made me not want to try the EDT, which was much better. Someone else mentioned Womanity, which was probably worse...
-Cologne is the only fashionable thing that fits me! (Me, circa 1997-present)
SL Noir
Musc Ravageur. I've heard many different descriptions (cinnamon, vanilla, clove, etc etc). I just got a repugnant overpowering fecal smell and recoiled in disbelief. I've attempted it again since and still feel exactly the same. There are plenty I dislike but MR is the only one that left me truly horrified.

I once had to try scrub off 1 million, but only because I had several fragrances on my arms for testing and it was just overpowering them all :\
A*Men. I was feeling fairly rough that day (probably massive hangover, but we won't talk about that ) and A*Men just didn't make me feel any better, it was just slightly too much. Although I'm thinking of buying A*Men.
aside from A*Men, sometimes I found Cartier Declaration, Hermes Jardin Medisterannee and Hermes Jardin Toit to be nauseating, especially when I'm a bit ill. I'll get wash as quickly as I could, there's odd sweetness that I found disturbing. could it be that I'm sensitive to ISO E-Super that always features Ellena creation?
my blog : bonnygonggrijp.blogspot.com
Lalique Pour Homme
Etat Libre d'Orange - Secretions Magnifique stands out - but one or two others from ELdO too. A very polarising house.
Cuir d'Arabie
Leather Oud
Tauer Orange Star
SL Noir
Byredo sank to a new low with M/Mink - i smelled like a vulture after feeding on outdated animal carcas...what a disaster although; their accord oud and encens chembur was very good!
Jub XXV- incense just doesn't appeal- just as well I only bought 10ml
Dreamer, Obsession Men, Eternity Men, Nightflight, Cuba Gold, S. Oliver Original, Drakkar Noir, Bogart pH, Safari.
Coney Island by Bond n9 almost made me vomit. Its HORRID, ultra aquish, that one smells like eggwhite slightly hot...Horrifying....
Also, Must de Cartier and NR for Him Musc both gave me the sick to the stomach.
Joop, Kiss Him, JHL, Izod, Obsession, Aspen.
Sadly, most of them would not wash off.
I use to think that any cologne is going to be designed to be a "nice" smell, it would just come down to personal preference as to which you like or dont like compared to others.
That was my opinion until I sampled A*men
Now this is truly one foul f**king disgusting Frankenstein abomination of a creation.
If you were to take a freshly asphalted road, cover an area in baby powder, a little caramel and then vomit on top of it that is as close to this scent as I feel you could get. This has been the only cologne (I still debate that fact) ive tried that made me feel physically sick
Black Xs, disgusting!
L'Egoïste by Chanel.
Montale Black Aoud, liked by many, scrubbed by me.
Cartier Declaration.
smelled like gorilla armpit odor.
The OG Azarro. There was an open sampler at a Sears. Went shopping for a decent work-messenger bag, found none, saw the bottle and sprayed.
I liked the scent 'intent', but it was a bit much, reminded me of English Leather, so had to wash it off. Funny enough, it stuck around on my forearm, and toned down, it smelled much better. In fact, that was when it reminded me of one of my favorites, the original red-boxed Burberry for Men.
These left a very bad impression with me...
Amouage Gold Man
Amouage Reflection Man
BN9 Coney Island
BN9 New Haarlem
BN9 Wall Street
Prada Amber Pour Homme Intense
Givenchy Pour Homme. Thanks for molesting my nose.
Are you not entertained??? Is this not why you are here??
Guerlain Vetiver. Blech. There was still a trace left, reminiscent of the smell of the foam from one of those stainless steel soap dispensers at an Interstate rest stop.
A*Men. It's just wrong.

Sometimes I just want to go try these as a dare to myself. A*Men for sure. Secretions Magnifiques too. It sounds horribly nifty and unpleasant. Oh, yes -- and Lisa Kirk's Revolution. "Tear gas, burned rubber and decaying flesh." Sign me up! Give me the pain!
Tubereuse Criminelle. I looked forward to trying it, but I couldn't get over the mentholated smell that made me think of a stale Newport cigarette.
agreed...like lipstick and juice nasty
Isn't this thread pretty much evidence of the reason that most colognes, of the major brand designer variety pushed on department store counters, leans to the 'safe, inoffensive' sort, which pleases a wide swath of potential customers, but is looked down upon by many on these boards?
It's not hard to see why designer brands, often run by public companies with shareholders, or owned by private equity, are risk averse when it comes to their fragrances, or any other line of their business.
It was called "Patchouli." Something that I found at CVS.
Caron Pour un Homme
Midnight in Paris EDP
Curve (wasn't nearly as awful as the other two, just a sharpness to it that became more & more cloying by the minute)
Angel and Tokyomilk Marine Sel
issey miyake l'eau dissey ph
amouage memoir man
For me Fahrenheit. Don't know about the original but the current version is rank. Guerlain Vetiver is awful to my nose too. And doesn't everyone want to scrub Secretions Magnifique? Problem is the damned stuff won't wash off...

Men's Tennis Blanks Second-Straight Opponent; Cruise by Lenoir-Rhyne 9-0
April 7, 2010
HICKORY, N.C. For the second-consecutive match, the Pfeiffer University mens tennis team scored a 9-0 win on Thursday at Lenoir-Rhyne improving to 8-6 on the season. Lenoir-Rhyne falls to 1-13 with the loss.
The Falcons swept through doubles 8-3, 8-2, 8-3 before sweeping through singles play. Frank Pouchet had the only match run the distance with a 5-7, 6-2, 10-2 (tiebreak set) victory. All other Falcons rolled in straight-sets. Cody Simpson, playing in the fifth position, was up 3-0 in set one when his opponent retired.
Pfeiffer finishes the season with three Conference Carolinas matches beginning with Erskine on Thursday. Weather permitting, the mens match will begin at 2:30 p.m.

Dirk is expected to start as well.
Dallas - Though he played coy following the team's shoot around here Saturday, Hornets Coach Monty Williams has decided to start shooting guard Eric Gordon against the Dallas Mavericks, a source said.
Williams will also start Al-Farouq Aminu at the small forward position, meaning that for the first time this season, the Hornets will have the starting lineup on the floor that was expected to start the season.
"The pelican is fearsome. Take a raven, for example: it's omnivorous. It eats bugs, and seeds, and fruit, and carrion. Compared to the well-rounded citizen that is the raven, the pelican is the serial killer of birds." - Barry Petchesky, Deadspin
Aminu looked great last game. He just has to keep up his energy level and defensive/rebounding intensity, and he'll be perfect for us. I don't understand his problem. If he would just hustle, he would start for us. I hope Monty got to him by sitting him down for a few games, because Aminu could be the answer to our SF problems if he could just continue to rebound, defend, and run the break.
Good news ! I hope it means we are really getting out in transition tonight !
"I go so hard, I go so mean... I'm so NEW ORLEANS" - Lil' Wayne"We not stopping at no stores man ! We staying on the gas !" - Tyreke Evans
If Aminu crashes to the goal every time Gordon splits the defense he should get about 2-3 lobs just running down the baseline per game. That along with 2 fast breaks could see him with about 8-10 points per game. that's all I expect from him besides about 6-8 boards a block and a steal. 10-7-1-1 is all i expect. Reality is he will probably stand out on the perimeter where his defender doesn't have to stick him and can sag off while gordon splits. SMH
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
Woohoo finally
Vasquez never throw lobs so with Aminu and Gordon starting hopefully we can see some lobs.
"I think he is the best guy to play with Eric that we have because of his ability to attack and his athleticism,'' Williams said. "If he can do it on a consistent basis, were going to have a better outcome.''
Kinda highlights how our guard problems to properly run this offense spills over to the rest of the team.
Aminu has to keep his head in the game. He cannot have those mental lapses and lose his man and give up 3s like crazy. We absolutely need his athleticism.
Tonight should be fun.
I hope they continue to manage Gordon's minutes as going against a player like Mayo will be a tough task since Gordon is still trying to get back in shape. I still want to see him play in the 25-28 minutes range right now.

Animals and plants are distributed around the world naturally.
Their individual adaptations make certain habitats ideal and others
not. Throughout history, humans have moved plants and animals to
new areas--sometimes sucessfully and at other times producing
disastrous results. In this Science Bite, Museum scientist John Demboski
talks about introduced species and how they have become a part of
our daily lives.

Get Moving
To lose it, you've got to get off the couch or away from the computer screen. Take in the scenery on a brisk walk, and park your car farther away at work or the mall. Take the stairs, not the elevator. Try an exercise or dance class with a friend. Go for a swim with your spouse. Do whatever works for you, but as Nike says: Just Do It!

Detectives continue to appeal for witnesses and information after a murder in West Norwood.Officers were called to Waylett Place, at the junction with Norwood Road SE27, shortly before 04.15hrs on Saturday 6 August re. a man shot.The victim was taken by ambulance to Kings College Hospital where he died at 05.33hrs.He was Daniel Famakinwa, 20 years of Halley Road, Manor Park E12. He was a single man.A post mortem gave cause of death as a gunshot wound.
An inquest will open and adjourn in due course.An incident room has opened at Lewisham under DCI Caroline Goode (HSCC)DCI Goode said: "We now know Daniel had been out dancing that night with a group of friends and afterwards they were waiting for a bus at the bus stop at Waylett Place and Norwood Road. There was an altercation between Daniel's group and another group of black men who were also waiting at the bus stop which has resulted in Daniel being killed. "I would urge anyone who was in the area at the time, and who may have seen or heard anything suspicious, to come forward as you may hold significant information."We are specifically appealing for a white woman in a checked shirt who was also at the bus stop, and who had no connection to either group, to come forward. She understandably made off at the time but we need her to contact police - she may have vital information."I believe there were also a number of black women at the bus stop who fled after the incident, and again we need them to come forward and make themselves known."Anyone who can assist should call the incident room on 020 8721 4868; if you wish to remain anonymous please call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.Three men [A/B/C] were arrested near the scene and taken to south London police stations.

Pandora CEO Pounds Radio's Weak Spot
Pandora CEO Joe Kennedy was interviewed by Goldman Sach's Internet analyst Heath Terry Wednesday morning where he continued his attack on traditional radio and his plan to chip away at radio's $15 billion in annual ad revenue. He said, "We see this year enabling us to accelerate our penetration of the traditional radio market." Kennedy also used Wednesday's appearance as an opportunity to take a swipe at radio's huge spot loads. An area he certainly makes a very good point as the radio industry has never seriously addressed its massive hourly spot loads.
Kennedy said the ad load on traditional radio is crushing at 13 minutes an hour, adding, in radio's model, the more you bury an advertiser in a stopset the more they want to do something goofy to get attention. "Pandora is closer to 1 minute. Traditional radio uses more 60 second ads and Pandora mostly 15 and 30 second spots." And although Kennedy was not specific with how many commercials Pandora will go to, he says the ad load three years ago was zero. "We gradually raised that to 1-2 ads per ads. We'll continue to raise the ad load but it will be much lower compared to where traditional radio is.
Kennedy said in 2013, Pandora will have salespeople selling in radio's top 25 markets, up from top 10. He says those salespeople will not be going after local restaurants and local spa's. "We're going after the bigger advertisers. These are large and medium sized businesses in the local markets. We are in earliest stages to disrupt traditional market of radio advertising.
On content cost, Kennedy said Pandora content cost Pandora pays is unfairly high and we're working to try to get that to a more fair level. At the same time we are so good at monetizing at what we do that we can build and make a good business model with costs where they are (40% of revenue). That, he admits, will come from adding more spots every hour.
EDITOR'S NOTE: I listen to Pandora every day during my workouts. Mostly because Kennedy is correct about stopsets on radio stations. They are way too long and most creative is very bad. So I use Pandora because it's too time consuming to flip through apps or TuneIn to find music when working out. However, it's just as annoying when constantly hit with a pop-up ad from Pandora on my phone. Most of those ads have zero relevance to me. Analysts have never asked Pandora about those.

1MIkCQ Thank you ever so for you post.Really looking forward to read more. Really Great.
wtbr6k I appreciate you sharing this post.Much thanks again. Really Cool.
GiNlLy Very good blog article.Really thank you! Really Cool.
I've always been more concerned about the station's/show's overall presentation. We (radio) have forgotten how to perform well constructed stopsets...and, have given-up on doing them. No one tries to keep a listener through the commercials. Stopsets were crafted as any other on-air element...and was worth listening to. Or at least not punching away from. In the last ten years I've heard one stopset that kept me: the commercials were not offensive...by accident I'm sure...

Joe, keep terrestrial radio bent over! LMFAO!!!

Oil prices increased last week on optimism that both European and U.S. economies are improving and will result in higher fuel demand. Although the cost of oil has been on the rise since January 1, retail gas prices have remained relatively stable. So far, gas prices have not surpassed year-ago levels; however, the cost for a gallon of gas inched back up again this week.German business confidence rose for the third month in January and pushed the euro to an 11-month high against the dollar. A stronger euro means higher oil prices. In addition, the U.S. Labor Department reported positive news that jobless claims fell to a five-year low last week."Oil prices are on an upswing right now and gas prices are starting to follow suit," said Jessica Brady, AAA spokeswoman, The Auto Club Group.

One of the single-shell tanks storing radioactive waste at the nation's most contaminated nuclear site is leaking around 150 to 300 gallons of liquid per year, Washington Governor Jay Inslee said Friday, raising concerns of other storage facilities at Hanford Nuclear Reservation.
The U.S. Department of Energy said liquid levels are decreasing in one of 177 underground tanks at the nuclear reservation. Monitoring wells near the tank have not detected higher radiation levels, the agency said. Inslee said the leak could be in the range of 150 gallons to 300 gallons over the course of a year.
I am alarmed about this on many levels, Inslee said at a Friday afternoon news conference. This raises concerns, not only about the existing leak ... but also concerning the integrity of the other single shell tanks of this age.
There are a total of 177 tanks at the Hanford site, 149 of which are single shell tanks.
Inslee said the amount of radioactive waste leaked does not pose an immediate public health threat, and Hanford has seen bigger leaks before, but what concerns the governor's office is this could be the first of many leaks.
There's some suggestion that this leak has been going on for years rather than weeks, said Inslee.
The reported tank, the T-111, was built in the 1940s. The tanks were known as leakers, which was why all 149 single shell tankers were repaired in 2005. The T-111 currently contains approximately 447,000 gallons of highly radioactive sludge, a mixture of solids and liquids with a mud-like consistency, left from decades of plutonium production for nuclear weapons.
One of the reasons this is disturbing news is we were told this problem was dealt with years ago and was under control, Inslee said. We cannot leave 149 single-shelled tanks with high level radioactive liquid and sludge in the ground for decades after their design life.
The tank is the first to have been documented to be losing liquids since all of the Hanford tanks were stabilized in 2005.
Two-hundred gallons a year times 200 question marks is really the question, said Keith Phillips, Washington state energy policy advisor.
Inslee is meeting with Energy Secretary Dr. Steven Chu next week. He wants to know how the leak at Hanford will be cleaned up and what's being done to make sure it doesn't happen again.
When asked if the state will sue the federal government, Inslee said it was too early to talk about that, but it is an option.
Let me be clear. Washington state has a zero tolerance policy on radioactive leaks, Inslee said.
At the height of World War II, the federal government created Hanford in the remote sagebrush of eastern Washington as part of a hush-hush project to build the atomic bomb. The site ultimately produced plutonium for the world s first atomic blast and for one of two atomic bombs dropped on Japan, effectively ending the war.
Plutonium production continued there through the Cold War, but today, Hanford is the nation s most contaminated nuclear site. Cleanup will cost billions of dollars and last decades.
Central to that cleanup is the removal of millions of gallons of a highly toxic, radioactive stew enough to fill dozens of Olympic-size swimming pools from 177 aging, underground tanks. Over time, many of those tanks have leaked, threatening the groundwater and the neighboring Columbia River, the largest waterway in the Pacific Northwest.
Construction of a $12.3 billion plant to convert the waste to a safe, stable form is years behind schedule and billions of dollars over budget. Technical problems have slowed the project, and several workers have raised lawsuits in recent months, claiming they were retaliated against for raising concerns about the plant s design and safety.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am a 10th Grade English Teacher at Eastside High School in Paterson, NJ. I am looking to get a pen pal program started for some of my classes. My students are approximately 15-16 years old. They are primarily Hispanic and African-American students living in an urban area. Many of my Hispanic students have moved here from other countries. All of my students speak English and my Hispanic students all speak Spanish as well. My students face many challenges living in this area. The school, community, parents, and students are all struggling and have little resources compared to many suburban areas around them. However, the students really need a more international perspective on the lives of students their age around the world. More than 80 percent of my students entered 9th grade reading below their grade level so they could really use a fun project like this that they can connect to that will also help them practice writing at the same time. My students have little opportunity to travel outside of the streets of Paterson and this is a great opportunity for them to be exposed to more of the world and expand their horizons. They are a vibrant, outgoing, and caring group of students who would be extremely excited to make connections beyond their borders and learn more about the world around them. I would be thrilled to connect my students will a class outside of the United States but even just outside of Paterson, NJ would be a step in the right direction!

Victor J. Stenger dies
The physicist and popular science writer Victor J. Stenger died on August 27, 2014, at the age of 79, according to the Friendly Atheist blog (August 29, 2014).
A glimpse of How to Change Minds about Our Changing Climate
NCSE is pleased to offer a free preview (PDF) of Seth B. Darling and Douglas L. Sisterson's How to Change Minds about Our Changing Climate (The Experiment, 2014).
Creationism and Ohio's antiscience bill
A sponsor of Ohio's House Bill 597 — which if enacted would require the state's science standards to "prohibit political or religious interpretation of scientific facts in favor of another" — is giving mixed signals about his intentions.
A court battle on the horizon in Ohio?
"Count on a serious court battle if a few state legislators have their way and Intelligent Design and other religious interpretations of science are allowed to be taught in public schools," warns the Cleveland Plain Dealer (August 22, 2014).

Aerin L. shared the following story with us about her dog Scout's rough start as an abandoned puppy, his subsequent recovery and his happy adoption:
Scout, a black Pit Bull-Chow mix, was found with his three brothers—all around four-months-old—emaciated, close to death, coated in fleas and ticks, and suffering from severe cases of Demodex mange. The shelter that was called in to rescue the puppies said it was the worst case of mange they had ever seen. Scout in particular had not a strand of hair on his body, was covered in fleas and ticks, and his eyes were swollen shut.
A woman who operated a rescue in the Chicago area fostered Scout, then known as LoveBug. When we went to the rescue to look at another dog, we met Scout. He was described as a sweet, fast learning, calm dog.
We adopted him and learned that his personality was far from what we anticipated. Untrained except for the command sit, we enlisted the help of a dog trainer who taught him "down," "heel," "go potty," "wait," "stay," and more. She socialized him and helped him work through his fear of cars.
My plan is to work with Scout so he can achieve the "Canine Good Citizenship Award" before enrolling him as a therapy dog at children's hospitals. I think children—especially those with cancer—will be able to connect with him. I hope they see his remarkable, and almost impossible, recovery as something they can look forward to. He's alive, well and happy.
Scout can help me educate the public about how loving Pit Bulls are and disprove the myths associated with the breed.
Pit Bulls are a loving bred we have owned one in the past and he was a sweet loving dog. People are the ones that make them mean.
I really hate humans. People. I know not all people are cruel but the ones make up for the way I feel.
Sometimes I wish that all animals, birds, insects, etc would leave this earth so I don't have to read such horrible things about them.
I love them all.
Wonderful story! So glad to hear another pittie "gone good" story.
I am so happy that Scout is doing well and on a road to a remarkable recovery. We adopted a pit pull /boxer mix several years ago. The shelter said he/Max came from a home with 7 children and they family was moving and could not take the dog with them. this dog was so loveable and loved to take car rides and was completely obedient. He actually trained our first dog Casey to be obedient whom we adopted from the same shelter but he was found off the streets and showed signs of abuse. Pit bulls can be trained to be loveable pets and great with children, my dog Max was living proof. The myths needs to myths only...not facts.

Save the Date magnets
I loved how easy it was to personalize all of the preset designs on the website! The options for everything was very user friendly! The cost and options of what to actually order is so wide that there is definitely something for everyone and all styles!
Beautiful Save the Date
I was so pleased to receive our Save the Date magnets. They are beautiful and I have received many complements. The quality is great, and well represented by the sample package I received. The photograph, color selection and font choice was wonderful and came together exactly as I hoped for.
I could not be happier with these magnets. The colors I used for mine are much darker, giving this design a completely different look. Don't be afraid to click on different designs and play around with the colors and fonts, it really can transform some of the designs and give it a whole different feeling. The picture I used looks perfect and the quality is great. The magnet is a good weight, not flimsy and I think this size is perfect, not too tiny and not overwhelmingly big. Just an fyi, you won't need to use extra postage to mail these- even with the carrier card and envelope. I actually brought everything-magnet, carrier, and envelope to the post office and had them weigh it to find out. A regular stamp will suffice for these.
Mini save the date magnets
I stumbled upon this site via google and I was extremely impressed from beginning to end. The designs and customizable options were so easy to use and the entire process of placing an order to the delivery of the items went smoothly and quickly. I was actually quite astonished at how fast the magnets were delivered.
love these magnets
We are so happy with our design and magnets- the only quality issue we saw was with the envelopes- they don't appear to be the best quality and didn't seal correctly- we couldn't get the sticky part on some of them to seal at all. My only recommendation for improvement would be to upgrade the quality of the envelopes, as that is the first thing the guests see when receiving them in the mail, and the seal has to work correctly.

I'm trying to find my ideal scent along these lines. I'd check out the vetiver fragrances. This thread has some good info: http://www.basenotes.net/threads/270...ch-is-the-best
Basically I don't like fresh/aqua/blue/citrus frags which are usually associated with summer. I'm a gourmand/oriental fan but am willing to compromise a bit in choice of scents for the summer (not that I really believe people on the street will point to me in horror if I wear Rochas Man or Zino in July but you know what I mean)
I find Cool Water tolerable but everyone wears it. I tried a sample of Eternity again today but that sharp/bitter/whatever it is note that I find in summer frags came thru loud and clear and made me gag.
Can anyone suggest something along the lines of what I do like but is versatile enough to wear during the hot months also?
I'm trying to find my ideal scent along these lines. I'd check out the vetiver fragrances. This thread has some good info: http://www.basenotes.net/threads/270...ch-is-the-best
perhaps Gucci pour homme II - a black tea based fragrance. light enough for the summer & quite refreshing without being too citrusy.
From the realm of light gourmands and orientals, you could try L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme EdT, the new Habit Rouge L'Eau, & Dior Dune pour Homme.
He boiled for our sins.
Would Safari be considered a summer scent? I kind of like that one. It's citrus but more mellow than than most
Carbone de Balmain
You may want to look into Creed Green Irish Tweed if you liked Cool Water. Also I recommend Chanel Allure Homme and maybe Allure Homme Sport, they are unique and very classy.
Top 5 Favorite Fragrances:
1) Creed Aventus
2) Creed Millesime Imperiale
3) Kiton Black
5) Gucci Pour Homme II
+1 for vetivers, if you need something fresh.
In a different style, I find CDG2 man (incensy) and Tom of Finland (lemony saffrony) very suitable for warm weather too.
Green Irish Tweed
Sounds like someones having a case of the Mondays
super cheap non-sweet:
Lomani pour Homme
lovely niche citrus also not sweet:
Trefle Pur
Cologne pour le Soir by Maison Francis Kurkdjian - Upon application, one is treated to a deliciously seductive, red rose with fruity glimmers and a cabernet-like facet. A sweet and warm benzoin dusts the lovely rose with its vanillic highlight, and in so doing, provokes a keen powderiness. Barely transitioning, a delightful honey intermingles with the enchanting blend and imparts its enticing sweetness, while what I assume are aldehydes apparently color the melange with a smoky wax. Amazingly, the finale brings forth a mysterious and spicy incense interplaying with wondrous labdanum, which tempers the creation with a tinge of pine and vague illusions of amber and leather. A decidedly beautiful fragrance that is at once soothing and evocative. This anomalous cologne has stunted projection and average longevity.
YSL Kouros
Want to trade - Chanel Platinum Egoiste for Dior Eau Sauvage...
I was actually trying to find the same thing. So far I'm really thinking a classic cologne structure and some of the nice light and sharp Vetivers are going to be it.
Another +1 for Gucci PH II
Current top 3:
1) Gucci Pour Homme II
2) Givenchy Play Intense
3) Dolce & Gabbana The One
I think Un Jardin sur le Nil by Hermes is the perfect summer fragrance.
I don't like summer frags too but here are some that I enjoy:
Love & Luck
Kenzo PH
Chanel AHS
Chanel EB
Might also want to try TdH
GIT, Virgin Island Water, Mugler Cologne, Edition Blanche
Easiest solution: Guerlian Vetiver.--Vetiver tends to be an acquired taste; but it'll grow on you.
Annick Goutal Vetiver contains some marine notes as well.
(Toughest solution; to hell with it, get HAVANA by Aramis--it's not gourmand/oriental really but let's say it comes close compared to the other choices. Unless the temperature is over 100 degrees you might pull it off!)
OK Onwards with summer:
Moving upscale (read expensive)
Creed Himalaya
Creed Aventus
Acqua di Parma Colonia
Moving downscale:
The Already mentioned Caroline Herrera 212 H2O
360 Degrees Red for Men by Perry Ellis
Set Sail South Seas for Men by (don't cringe) Tommy Bahama
Getting creative and skipping citrus and aqua altogether:
1. Bowling Green--discontinued so a bit hard to find. Go online. It's a great " Aromatic " What's "Aromatic?"--Check the reviews
2. Bay Rum!--- St. John's or Royall's has some of the best longevity.
3. Infusion by Bombay Sapphire--Yep. Just hope you don't get pulled over by a cop, it smells like B.S. Gin.
(Quite cooling, though).
4. Green Tea with Mint by L'Occitane.---Perhaps a bit too cheerful? But go to a L'Occitane store if there's one nearby. Try out their testers.
5. Quasar--half insane but unusual, again, check out the reviews.

Guerlain "Homme L'Eau"
Cartier "Roadster"
H.d.P. - 1828 Jules Verne
Byredo - Oud Immortel
Hermès - Rocabar
Lalique - Pour Homme Lion
Lubin - L'Eau Neuve
I thinks also Lolita Lempicka's "Au Masculin" can easily be worn in summer!

Tilda Swinton Like This by Etat Libre d'Orange is great for summer. You said you enjoyed gourmands. Nice ginger with a wee bit of immortelle. A steal for $99.00 a bottle.
If your wallet is a little fatter, there's one better - Tahitian Honey by Strange Invisible Perfume is awesome. $350.00 OUCH!

My favorite summer frag is Geranium pour Monsieur. If you enjoy the strong mint note at the beginning, which some find a bit toothpastey, it might be a winner. The heart is an awesome green, spicy affair which strongly features geranium leaf, and persists into the clean, musky drydown.
A lot of great suggestions already so I'll just second a couple of already mentioned options...
+2 for vetivers. I'd suggest Vettiveru if you want a best band for the buck or Sycomore for an high-end. Also +1 on Geranium Pour Monsieur.

If you truly don't like traditional type summer fragrances, give Mugler's Ice*Men a try. It's opens with iced coffee & nutmeg & dries down to a watery/icy menthol & patchouli base. Definitely unique & a different take on a summer fragrance.
Rochas Eau de Rochas pour homme!
Perfect summer frag that noone disliked so far on BN!
I own it and it's perfect!
Read the reviews and convince yourself!
@Mind that I am talking about the original "pour" homme version as you also have the eau de Rochas homme version! The pour homme has way less citrus and is not aquatic at all!
My Top '10' : (In no particular order)
- Dolce & Gabbana: Pour Homme (vintage)
- Pal Zileri: Cuoio
- Loewe: Esencia/Pour Homme/Solo
- Davidoff: Leather Blend Edp
- Revillon R
- MPG: Santal Noble
- Acqua di Parma: Colonia Intensa /Leather/Oud

Yet another vote for Gucci pour Homme II. A versatile all-season fragrance.
Another vote for Vetiver based fragrances.
Vetiver Tonka by Hermes, get your gourmand on in the summer.
Creed Original Vetiver
I usually am averse to aquatic/"fresh"/traditional citrus colognes, but I've had some summer weather success with:
-Bulgari's "Au The Vert" - the green tea is nice, subtle, and dry and doesn't skew "air freshener"
-Lush's "Dirty" - a quirky shiso mint creation, herby/spicy...but I think it may be getting discontinued from Lush stores and will only be available online, though
-Mugler "Cologne" - the playful synthetic "clean" note isn't overly heavy and offset by light orange flower and dry grass
-Comme des Garcons "Stephen Jones" - a clean violet mixed with a mineral note, dries down with clove and light woods - really good-strange, and never heavy in the heat
-L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme EDT - a light spray of this would give a bit of citrus, cocoa, and a nice oriental-style drydown
If you're adventurous to break from the designer and high-end niche, you may want to check out this one from Smell Bent (smellbent.com):
-"Hungry, Hungry Hippies" - Orange, Cocoa, and Patchouli - a little heavier than some of the above, but definitely fun and wearable in the summer for me - it's kind of like a slightly more masculine and rough "Angel"

I never have since I started wearing fragrances in the 1960's and never will go a day without wearing one!
Thread: Fragrance Free Days ?
Do you ever have a day off from wearing fragrances ? If so, why?
Or, are you rather the 'feel-naked-without-a-scent-' type:
For me, applying perfume is just another part of my morning routine - shower, eat, brush teeth etc.
I wonder though if I've lost touch with my own, natural body scent. The problem is, I don't really want to dodge the deodorant and soap to find out...
I never have since I started wearing fragrances in the 1960's and never will go a day without wearing one!
I do have fragrance free days. Sometimes, because I feel like it (eg. when the obsession temporarily got a bit much), somtimes because I have a cold and can't smell anything anyway and sometimes because I'm in danger of being late to wherever I have to go that day.
Some of the links after that video are awesome
I do feel naked without a fragrance. But, if I do forget, I have a little mini wardrobe of decants going on in the car.. ya know.. just in case. 90% of the time, if I'm going somewhere, I'm going in my car, so if I do forget my fragrance at home, I'm usually covered.
Most of the time, I am the "feel-naked-with-only-one-scent-per-day" type!
When I had a smaller wardrobe, sometimes I didn't wear a fragrance if I couldn't choose an apprpriate one. Now I don't wear any when I'd like to sample scents or when I don't feel well, either I can't smell anything or my nose gets too sensitive that fragrances give me a headache.
Yes. I do often. I smell nature and the environment much more better and think it's a nice way to develop the nose.
Every other Friday is fragrance free to reset my nose.
I'm fragrance free only if I feel a migraine about to strike .
For sale. Carnal Flower and Vero Profumo Onda.
Often. Perhaps 3 days a month or so.

I cannot wear any fragrance during a fierce hangover, which was yesterday.
I wanna say something. Im gonna put it out there. If you like it, you can take it, if you dont, send it right back ."
Well, I have Extrait days, EDP days and EDT days. And when I feel I need a break I have EDC days or even fragrance free days. I am developing an interest in very light scents with 2 hrs longevity (R&G extra vieille, Institut Très Bien Cologne à l'Italienne, Eau d'Orange Verte...). It really does provide the break my nose needs after a Rive Gauche, Tonka Impériale or Ambre Russe day...
Occasionally I don't feel like a fragrance, but even then I usually apply some aftershave to enjoy for a bit.
Maybe if I am sick at home - but that is really the only situation when I may be fragrance free.

My fragrance free days are the days and nights I go to my training. Which is 3 nights a week, and Saturday morning.
I'm fragrance addicted and wear several frags each day, and I never miss a day.
+"Do you spray below the waist?"
+"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing,
you will be successful." - Albert Schweitzer
+"All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you." - Dr. W. Dyer
If I'm at home I'll usually sample fragrances, but sometimes I won't put anything on. I DEFINITELY put one on when I'm leaving the house though.
l NEVER miss a day, no matter how ill or hungover!
"What is this secret connection between the soul, and sea, clouds and perfumes? The soul itself appears to be sea, cloud and perfume..." - from Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis.
It does happens once in a while, but only during very extremely demanding, tiresome days
the only time when I do not wear any fragrance is when I go hunting
The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.
Only when I have a head cold. Otherwise, it's frangrance for me everyday!
"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
Occassionally....for instance a day I was going to be intensely physically active, I might not.
I've never contemplated it. Even when I'm sick I still go with something.
Sometimes I take a day or two off to rest my nose or just because I do not feel like it. Usually i wear a fragrance though.
Sometimes if I'm feeling sick I'll skip fragrance. Otherwise the only reason I leave the house unscented is if I'm going fragrance shopping!
I have not had a free day yet!

I don't wear scents when I'm sick or when I get a migraine.
Only time that I will not is if I am going to be doing something very physical or if I am doing something outdoorsy.
Anytime there there's no work or evening social function.
If I don't go out in public all day, am alone, and don't use any of the several fragranced shower gels I own. Even to walk 20 feet out of the property boundary, I'll probably be wearing something.
I do like to take a break every now and again. I'll definitely go without fragrance if sufficiently sick or if suffering a headache. Occasionally I don't have enough of a window to apply the frag I want before an event (say I'm running late and suddenly it's 5 minutes before class and I haven't applied anything yet) so I may go without, instead of overpowering the room with that first 30 minutes of very high sillage w/ most frags.

Noooo... Not since I joined BaseNotes.
Anakin: What was that all about?
Obi-Wan: Well, R2 has been...
Anakin: No loose wire jokes.
Obi-Wan: Did I say anything?
Anakin: He's trying.
Obi-Wan: I didn't say anything!
Yes, every now and then. I often don't apply anything when I'm having a lazy day at home, and I usually don't apply anything if I'm gardening, going out in the woods or similar activities. I like to give my nose a rest and enjoy other smells every now and then.
Only 3 things will keep me from wearing perfume. 1. Being sick 2. Headaches 3. Going perfume shopping. Except for those 3 situations I wear it every day.
I am having more and more fragrance free days because the culture around me seems to be changing. I wonder if this is only an American phenomenon. I suspect so. But maybe Canada too. Anyway, we cannot wear fragrance at my office now. There is a sign up at my doctor's office to not wear any fragrance. And a church I sometimes attend has a sign of no fragrance. Supposedly, everyone is suddenly allergic or something. I wonder how they survived the past 2000 years of frags! Is anyone else noticing this trend?
I've never heard of one. Every day I have to pay for them. Somebody please do a PSA when the day comes that I can just take them for free!

Most of the time I am very proud of the Basenotes community. Time after time I have witnessed the thoughtfulness, empathy & genuine friendship that members of this community extend to others - oldtimers & newcomers alike. There are other times, however, when egos get the upper hand and civility goes out the window. My philosophy is that I won't say anything here that I would not say if you were standing in front of me. Welcome to Basenotes, each and every one of us. ~ TwoRoads
When I'm having a cold and cant smell and enjoy a fragrances because of the nasal obstruction.
Somewhere between 1 and 2 percent of the time I don't (between 3 and 7 days a year). It is either for illness or not in the mood or wanting to clear my head.
It has only happaned once since I started wearing fragrance in May 2007. I went on a weekend trip with some friends and brought a purse atomizer with Printemps Japonais in it and didn't realize that it was nearly empty.
I do believe that too much of a good thing is never too good. I take breaks every second days or so, everything smells so much better that way.
