Thread: Your favorite leather?
Leather scents seem to be enjoying a bit of a sudden renaissance these days with recent years having seen scores of exciting new releases, rereleases and, not least, renewed interest in the fabled classics of this very old and distingished fragrance category. But which one is your favorite leather interpretation?
I enjoy a lot of the fragrances on the list (and certainly classics like Knize Ten and Cuir de Russie), but having to pick my favorite at the moment I'd go for a much newer one; my vote goes to Dior's dirty civet-heavy Leather Oud. Which one(s) do you enjoy or admire the most? It might not even be on the list...

I don't really have much leather experience, but so far I think I like Nostalgia best with Leaether Oud a close second.
Haven't sniffed all on the list, but Creed Royal English Leather is the one I picked. It's just great stuff.
Creed Cuir de Russie, Knize 10, Farina Kölnisch Juchten.
Tuscan Leather
Leather Oud
Very tough to choose. Glad I can have more than one.

From this list, Knize Ten, closely followed Creed REL and Aramis, still having to test Tuscan Leather and Cuiron.
My top 5 leather:-
Helmut Lang Cuiron
Tom Ford Tuscan Leather
Chanel Cuir de Russieb
Creed Royal English Leather
Heeley Cuir Pleine Fleur
I have trouble classifying Puredistance M as a leather fragrance. It's much more complex than that.
Give it a try to Bel Ami by Hermes.

Miller Harris Cuir D'Oranger
Knize Ten gets my vote, although I find it too strong for me to wear. It's an authentic leather though and that's why I chose it.
Why isn't Chanel Antaeus in this list? Or Fahrenheit even?
On a side note, I think I'd probably classify Fahrenheit as more of a gasoline/petrol scent than a leather, and certainly compared to Leather Oud...
Double post
I still stand by my vote for Knize Ten.
with the exception of Tuscan Leather and Cuir Amethyste, I love all the others with Puredistance M, Knize Ten, Bandit, Derby and Chanel's Cuir De Russie forming my top five (in no prticular order).

Cuir Ottoman
Tuscan Leather for me. I just received another 4 mil sample of it yesterday. Great stuff
I have only tried 5 - 6 of that list, but I love Chanel's current EDT of Cuir de Russie (leather, iris and other interests) and also Heeley's Cuir Pleine Fleur, for it's dry, austere take on soft leather and florals.
...my favorites from this list: Dzing! and Knize Ten...!
...other: Habit Rouge and Or Black...!

My favs are:
Cuir de Russie (Chanel)
Knize Ten
Tabac Blond
Puredistance M
Lonestar Memories
Cuir de Lancôme
Arsène Lupin Dandy
Tough choice. I ultimately went with Bandit, but Rien is up there. And so are many others.
For the ultimate in leathery-ness, you should smell (but not wear) that realistic impression of drowing into a tannery pool, Complex by Boadicea.
+ 2 Im really for Helmut Lang Curion as an overall leather scent. Not an easy one to come across, either.
Not on your list but very nice one : Or Black de Pascal Morabito
Bel Ami/Hermes
Snarky is as snarky does.
Leather Oud
Onda extrait
Songe d'un Bois d'Ete
Bel Ami
Leonard pour Homme (1980)
Van Cleef & Arpels pour Homme
Knize Ten
Eau d'Hermes
Tribute Attar
Least favorite: Tuscan Leather, which ultimately isn't much of a leather at all.

I have to admit that I have not sampled many on the list but of those listed I voted for Leather Oud. One not listed that is my top favorite is Parfums Regence Kolnisch Juchten. Dark and deep Russian Leather. Smells a bit like a campfire and a bit meaty to start.
Some Favorites
1. Amouage Epic man
2. Dior Leather Oud
3. Perris Monte Carlo Oud Imperial Black
4. Le Labo Patchouli 24
5. Amouage Opus VII
6. Byredo Bullion
7. Masque Milano Russian Tea
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
Tuscan Leather is by far the most amazing smelling leather based fragrance ever made!!
My Ultimate Top 5:
Fahrenheit (1988)
Paul Smith Man (2009)
Burberry London (2006)
Prada Amber pour Homme (2006)
Arpege pour Homme (2005)
I haven't smelled them all but my favorites are Cuiron, M, and Dior Homme Cologne.
I also really like Poivre Samarcande, which to my nose smells more than leather than anything. I guess because it's so peppery people always talk about the pepper instead of the leather.
Thank you, everybody! It seems clear by now that three fragrances - Tuscan Leather, Knize Ten, and Cuir de Russie - score much higher than the others, but it's still a pretty close race between those three contenders. Leather Oud and Derby follow suit at a much slower pace in 4th and 5th position. It's been very interesting to follow the voting, and the poll has yielded some surprises, as well: Only one vote for Peau d'Espagne and three for Cuir Mauresque place them both at the very bottom. I for one hadn't seen that coming - very interesting!
Thanks, guys - and please go on voting. The poll stays open.
Farina Kölnisch Juchten, Chanel Cuir de Russie Parfum, Creed Cuir de Russie, Cuir de Lancome

Of the ones I have tried:
Rien - stands out as amazing
Bel Ami and Tuscan Leather are also good fragrances
Royal English Leather, Knize Ten and Helmut Lang for me, and in that order.
Formerly known as Inselaffe
Knize Ten
Dior Oud Leather
Oud Cuir d'Arabie
Cuir d'Iris
Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead. The consciousness of loving and being loved brings a warmth and richness to life that nothing else can bring.
-Oscar Wilde
I have a hard time enjoying leather fragrance. But I like leather as an ingredient in a more complicated perfume. My favorite of these "mostly leathers" are: (1) Leather Oud, (2) Or Black, (3)Kolnisch Juchten (Regence), (4) M PureD
Soft suede scents that have a leather suede note, are "almost leather" but probably not really leather scents, these are my favorites: (1) Nuit de Sens by Louis Feraud, (2) Soivohle Leather Krem, (3) MFK Oud, (4) Dzongkha
im going to throw one more hat into the ring- its pinaud clubman special reserve. seems like ive been tooting its horn a lot here lately. it is the best leather ive smelled yet. including bel ami and knize ten- hear me out... clubman special reserve is leather. all the others are leather and sweet or leather and rose or leather and smoke and cinnamon, or whatever. pinaud is leather. period. and it smells really really nice. thats my vote.
Royal English Leather
Eau Sauvage Fraicheur Cuir - not the most evocative of leather, but nice.
Axe Music could be a Tuscan Leather flanker, theyre that similar.
I tried Tom Ford Tuscan Leather yesterday, for a full wearing, and found it to be nothing but fruit in the last hours.
Nostalgia by Santa Maria Novella, it reminds me of my late Uncle's 1967 Jaguar XJE, parked in the garage with the leather seats and gasoline fumes and oil soaked floors...nostalgia-1.jpg

Refined opulent, majestic and surreal is TL and the dry down is mesmerizingly addictive.
"Thank GOD for the nose, for without it we would not be enjoying these beautiful created Scents" also Remember "Balance is everything and the key to appreciating "
Onda, but more than half the fragrances listed on the poll are excellent scents I'd be happy to own.
I'm not going to vote because I haven't smelled a bunch of the choices, but I find myself drawn to Knize Ten. I'm at the very bottom of my sample. I really enjoy it, but I'll admit that my opinion may be unintentionally boosted a bit by the fact that it dates back nearly a century. Every time I wear it, I find myself getting lost in thoughts about people who may have been wearing it back in the roaring 20s. Who were they and what were they doing while wearing Knize Ten?
Anybody have a sample of Martin Margiela Untitled or Untitled L'Eau? I'm dying to smell these and I've got lots of great niche samples to swap!
"Follow your nose. It always knows." -- Toucan Sam
There are really so many good ones on here. I guess this is my favorite genre. Antaeus is my favorite if that's counted as a leather. Of the ones listed, Puredistance M.
My favorites in no particular order:
Vintage Antaeus, Vintage Bel Ami, Puredistance M, Vetiver Extraordinaire, Tauer L'Air du Desert Marocain, MDCI Invasion Barbare, Morabito Or Black, Sycomore, Gucci Pour Homme I, Geranium Pour Monsieur, Avignon, Bois D'Ascese
Habit Rouge - but that's only because it's the only one I have.
It is true that fish stink. It is also true that the river is
beautiful. But the river would be beautiful despite the fish. What
is noxious remains so.
That is not to say that sh*t is not useful when buried in the wheat
field. Bread made from the field tastes sweet, wine from the arbor
sweetest. All things serve a purpose, but that is no reason to
glorify what is abominable. A man must still watch where he walks
and keep his sandals clean. c.21 of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, Trans: Normandi Ellis
Cuir Ottoman - far and away the closest thing to Leather I have.
Otherwise, Eau de Hermes & Eau Sauvage Fraicheur Cuir
I've only tried 4 as of now. Tuscan Leather, Colonia Leather, Leather Oud, and Cuir Cannage. Cuir de Russie is on its way.
As of now, Tuscan Leather is by far my favorite.

HAVELOCK— Not many young football players can switch positions at the drop of a hat, or in this case, the order of a coach.
Not many young football players have the God-given tools of Havelock's Pharoh Cooper, either.
Cooper was a wide receiver/defensive back prior to this season. Rams' head coach Jim Bob Bryant asked him to take over the reins from last year's Sun Journal Player of the Year Garrett Crowe.
Cooper obliged.
From the first game through the state championship, he resembled a seasoned veteran at the quarterback position.
He passed for 2,895 yards and rushed for 1,267 yards.
He threw for 25 touchdowns to only six interceptions and rushed for 15 more touchdowns.
Cooper is the 2012 Sun Journal Co-Player of the Year.
"It's just a blessing to be Sun Journal Player of the Year," Cooper said. "I've gotten a lot of awards and it always feels great to be a top player in anything.
"Seeing my stats, it's a lot of yards and I just give all the glory to God and my teammates for allowing me to be open and for them getting open and my coaches for always having us prepared no matter what."
Cooper was the Most Valuable Player of the 3A state championship game, a 55-21 win over Concord, which was his second title in as many years.
As if that wasn't enough, Cooper went down to Spartanburg, S.C.and dominated the Shrine Bowl of the Carolinasearning Offensive MVP for the North Carolinasquad.
It wasn't only the offensive side of the ball where Cooper dominated. He was a beast on defense as well.
He scored one touchdown off an interception return and three touchdowns on punt returns
"It all starts at practice with hard work there," Cooper said. "I've been playing both sides of the ball since I was in Pop Warner and I love the game and I never want to come off the field.
"As a quarterback, the attention is always on you. You get blamed when things go bad, but you get too much credit when they are going well. I always try to be an ultimate leader and stay positive no matter what."
Cooper tallied 4,600 all-purpose yards which ranked first in the state.
The South Carolina commit has been getting the hints from future college coach Steve Spurrier that he will be used as a wide receiver in college.
"I'm prepared and ready to go for whatever he wants me to play when I get there," Cooper said.
"I'm not going to get worried about that right now though, until August I'm going to play basketball and baseball and hit the weight room super hard and be as ready physically as I can be."
Cooper says he is aware that the competition in the
"It was great, so much more size and speed and what really impressed me was how smart those players were with reading coverage and well-coached they were and I look forward to playing against the best in college," Cooper said.
Stats on Cooper
Completions/Attempts: 166-of-276
Yards: 2,895
Touchdowns: 25
Interceptions: 6
Attempts: 143

This weekend, I think I just made my twentieth, and last, visit of the year to La Maison du Whisky. For the life of me, I have no idea what prompted me to go to a liquor store the Saturday before Christmas. Well, actually I do.
I was preparing to refill one of my empty cocktail aging barrels and the next cocktail on the docket required red (sweet) vermouth. After exhausting the three liquor stores in my neighborhood, who had no idea what I was talking about (although one caviste thanked me for illuminating him, which I thought was odd because I know very little about vermouth), I took a very crowded #96 bus over to the Left Bank to stock up on a few bottles.

A 45-year-old man on Tuesday admitted to making sexually threatening phone calls to area female relators.
John Daniels, whose last address was a hotel in Newark, pleaded guilty to four counts of telecommunications harassment, Delaware County Prosecutor Carol O'Brien said. In exchange, prosecutors agreed to dismiss two additional telecommunications harassment charges, as well as an identity theft charge.
"Through this plea negotiation, the hope is these realtors regain a sense of security," O'Brien said in a press release. "And that Daniels learns a lesson from his criminal conduct."
Daniels used another man's name to buy a cell phone in Heath. He then called area realtors in Delaware and Licking counties to ostensibly set up a home visit. Each conversation resulted in Daniels telling the women that he was going to sexually assault them.
Public defender O. Ross Long previously said in court that alcohol was a factor in the phone calls.
Daniels is scheduled be sentenced at 2 p.m. on July 13 before Common Pleas Judge W. Duncan Whitney. He faces up to four years in prison. He was previously convicted in 1994 and 1998 in Franklin County Municipal Court on similar charges.

Fear - Our Topic of the Month!
Posted 18 September 2013 - 10:15 AM
What are you afraid of? Triskaidekaphobia: The fear of the number 13. Arachnophobia: The fear of spiders (and bad horror movies). Acrophobia: The fear of heights. Glossophobia: The fear of public speaking. This Web site lists hundreds of named phobias. The fear is real enough that some scholar studied it, gave it a label, and put it in some reference book. If you take a minute to skim through the list, you'll see that collectively, we fear almost everything (also called Panophobia).
Fear is subjective. Have a bad experience with something (especially when you're young), and chances are you have a phobia. Fear can be debilitating. But it can also be the perfect motivator. On a recent 30 Odd Minutes mission, I asked a panel of ghost investigators, horror movie icons, and television actors why we like to be scared. The answers were varied and insightful from people who make a living either scaring us or being scared to some degree. Fear, it seems, taps into something primal.
When we're afraid, the adrenaline starts to course through our veins. Our bodies prepare for fight or flight. We feel alive. I know that exhilaration is part of the reason people go on a paranormal investigation. Something could happen. Just being in a place where a tragedy occurred, or where people have experienced paranormal phenomena, heightens your senses. Tales of haunts and ghost encounters get our minds and psyches wandering and wondering.
We fear the unknown. That's natural. We fear what we don't understand. And when we work through that fear, we come out stronger and better for it. I've heard some paranormal investigators scoff at some people who venture into haunts as "thrill seekers." My response is always: "What are you talking about?! If you don't find this thrilling, why are you doing it?"

I also have a really huge fear of dying in a traumatic way, most notably being cut in half and seeing and knowing what was going on before finally perishing. That's a thought that literally keeps me awake at night. I always wondered if that could possibly be a past life memory spilling over...but again, its probably just something I've watched on television before I was old enough to really process it, lol.
Funny this topic should come up now...since one of the most universal fears of my generation is trending on Twitter, Google and Yahoo. That clown in Northampton, UK is terrorizing people from both sides of the pond!

Theresa, I have heard of the theory that phobias could be a tramatic past-life experience/memory with spills over into one's current life. No way to prove it, but interesting to acknowledge the possibility.
It's not really a phobia that I have, but I would not want to be eaten alive. I mean in a bad way.

Life is too short to take seriously, none of us get out of it alive.
Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be.Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.

As FDR once said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself". By giving into something and showing 'fear', you give it power over you. That power, or fear, can often find a way of escalating.
I'm not saying that I'm fearless - I've felt 'apprehensive' and/or 'cautious' in certain situations - but I don't feel this is the same as feeling 'fearful'. I can't remember any instance where I ran away like a little girl, hands flailing above my head, screaming out for my mommy...although I do remember some times when I might have decided that a hasty retreat was a good option...

When it comes to any kind of paranormal event, I have never been frightened; it's as if I convert immediately into an investigator, that is if I realize the moment for what it potentially could be. The three apparitions I saw at different times were not ascertained as such until after the experience, but it amazed me. Now the shaking chair in which I was sitting several years back gave me a real chance to analyze an experience as it was happening, and at no moment did fear kick in.
Now viewing a reflection of myself nude in a mirrow, that's scary.

I've had to fight a number of them and even received a medal for one but I still hate fire.
Structural Fires, Brush Fires, I've even had to fight fires inside of tanks and that's a Tankers worst nightmare.
I get a bit crazy and very focused on stopping the fire at all costs.
I even fought a fire covered in Diesel Fuel from a Fuel spill earlier that afternoon.
Like I said....I'm a little OCD when it comes to fire.

Bees and pretty much anything else in that general family with a stinger top my phobia list. I'm not allergic nor have I ever had a bad experience being stung (I've been stung probably only 3-4 times in my life with no ill effects). So I don't really know why the terror response, lol. It probably has something to do with seeing someone on television or a movie get stung with horrendous results. My dad worked nights, so he stayed home with me during the day while my mom was at work and he wasn't always careful with what he let me watch on TV.
I also have a really huge fear of dying in a traumatic way, most notably being cut in half and seeing and knowing what was going on before finally perishing. That's a thought that literally keeps me awake at night. I always wondered if that could possibly be a past life memory spilling over...but again, its probably just something I've watched on television before I was old enough to really process it, lol.

When I was about 4 or 5 I got up to go wee one night and after I finished I went into the front room where my Dad had all the lights out and was watching the classic Dracula movie. I sat in a chair behind him where he didn't see or hear that I was in the room until I guess I must have made a sound. Being my Dad he yelled at me to get back into bed.
From that night I've always slept with the covers around my neck.....No stinking Vampire is gonna bite MY neck!

I was 4 years old.....
and didn't have any garlic.
Pretty good spacial reasoning if you ask me.
Posted 04 November 2013 - 09:45 AM
My son is 17, and he still has those childhood fears. I found a garlic ring/wreath at an estate sale. I knew who would want it, so I got it, took it home and showed it to him. His first reaction was to hang it in his room to ward off vampires...purley as decoration, of course. He did qualify that with a "You never know."

(NewsUSA) - One out of every 20 Americans over age 50 is diagnosed with Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD). The worst part of this reality is that most people with PAD don't experience any symptoms. PAD is dangerous, especially when there are no warning signs.
Peripheral Arterial Disease is a progressive disease commonly called clogged arteries in the legs, poor circulation or a hardening of the arteries.
People have PAD when the arteries in their legs become narrowed or clogged with fatty deposits, or plaque. The buildup of plaque causes the arteries to harden and narrow, which is called atherosclerosis. This reduces blood flow to the legs and feet.
The severity of the disease depends on how early it's diagnosed as well as pre-existing health issues. PAD's primary symptom is an intermittent cramping of leg muscles during walks or hikes. For some, the pain may feel more like numbness, weakness or heaviness. Whether or not you have symptoms, having PAD means that you're at a higher risk for heart attack, stroke and even death.
Many people don't get tested for PAD because they have no symptoms and never feel a thing. The good news is that proper treatment saves lives. If you're over 50, talk to your health care provider about getting tested for PAD.
The test for PAD is called the "ABI" or ankle-brachial index. It's a comparison of blood pressure measurements taken at the arms and ankles. It can also assess the severity of the disease.
Despite the presence or lack of symptoms, individuals are their own first line of defense. When face time with actual doctors is limited, it's helpful to have a list of prepared questions on hand.
The Vascular Disease Foundation (VDF), a non-profit dedicated to public awareness and education regarding vascular health, has compiled some questions to ask doctors about PAD:
* Does my medical history raise my risk for PAD?
* What can I do to reduce my blood sugar level if it's too high or if I have diabetes?
* What do you recommend to quit smoking?

Assembly of the TIMED Spacecraft
January 30, 2013
The TIMED spacecraft was assembled during a process known as integration. Integration typically begins when the wiring harness and the primary structure, or frame of a spacecraft, are assembled. Like the frame of a house, the spacecraft's frame, or structure, is what the instruments, solar panels, and other parts within the spacecraft are attached to. TIMED's integration was completed in October 1999.

In the United States and around the world, tax rates are coming under increased scrutiny as individuals and corporations attempt to gain a clearer understanding of their overall tax liabilities and better manage the financial impact of tax requirements.
Federal, state, local, and special-purpose governmental jurisdictions all may impose taxes at various tax rates on income, property or activities. Income tax is usually the largest tax, both in terms of absolute dollars paid and the tax rate, but taxpayers also contribute through payroll taxes, property tax, sales tax, excise taxes, estate taxes and gift taxes and a host of other taxes.
With respect to income tax, there are three primary types of tax rates that impact U.S. taxpayers:
- Statutory – Statutory tax rates are the rates that are mandated by federal and state legislation. Since the U.S. tax system is progressive (i.e. the tax rate rises as taxable income increases), not all income is taxed at the same rate. In fact, there are multiple statutory tax rates that apply to different portions of taxpayer income.
- Marginal – In progressive tax systems, the marginal tax rate is defined as the tax associated with an additional dollar of income. Unlike a flat tax rate (in which the tax percentage is the same for all income), marginal tax rates apply higher percentages at higher income levels, incentivizing taxpayers to develop strategies to avoid higher tax brackets.
- Effective – The effective tax rate is generally defined as the average rate or percentage at which individual or corporate income is taxed. It is calculated by dividing total tax liability by gross income. Taxpayers often attempt to lower their effective tax rate by reducing their total tax liability.
Statutory tax rates are legislated and are beyond the control of taxpayers and tax professionals. However, through the development and execution of tax planning strategies, it may be possible to reduce the effective tax rates and marginal tax rates for individual and corporate taxpayers.

As always, the North versus South derby is one of the most anticipated clashes on the South African rugby calendar. Tomorrow's match is no different.
And it is no surprise. Of the 73 times the Absa Currie Cup has been contested, Province and the Bulls have won it a combined 53 times. WP have 32 titles to their name, while the Bulls have 21.
Province though won 17 times before the Blue Bulls were even founded. The Northern Transvaal Rugby Union (as it was then) came into being only in 1938. Since both have been in existence, Province have won 15 times and the Bulls 21.
The Bulls dominance also extends to recent clashes at Newlands. WP have not beaten the Bulls at home since 2003, but then it was an emphatic victory, 63-26. The next two encounters in Cape Town though belong to the team from the north.
In 2004 they won 20-7 and last year they triumphed 18-10. Province will feel they have avenged those defeats with a gritty 15-10 win in the first round this year.
Such has been the topsy-turvy nature of this year's competition that the favourites tag has changed hand on several occasions. At the moment the Bulls trail WP by three points. WP are second on the log with 33 points, with the Bulls third on 30. The Cheetahs lead the standings on 35 points.
A win for either team will be a massive boost in the race to host a semi-final, while the Lions could do everyone a favour and take some points off the Cheetahs at Ellis Park that will make the last four rounds extremely interesting.
Results of recent match between Western Province and the Blue Bulls:
2002: Bulls 35 WP 26 (Loftus)
2003: Bulls 64 WP 29 (Loftus)
WP 63 Bulls 26 (Newlands)
2004: WP 7 Bulls 20 (Newlands)
Bulls 36 WP 36 (Loftus)
2005: WP 10 Bulls 18 (Newlands)
Bulls 39 WP 3 (Loftus)
2006: Bulls 10 WP 15 (Loftus)

Candace Holden and the rest of her family had just turned in for the night after a Thanksgiving feast.
"We had a big Thanksgiving," she said. "We were stuffed. We usually don't go to sleep that early."
Next thing she knew, she was startled by screams of a fire in the home.
Eight people escaped uninjured from a Thanksgiving night house fire in Havelock, but the home at 122 Karol Drive is considered a total loss.
"It spread so fast," Holden said. "I was throwing kids out of the house like footballs. The only thing we saved were the kids and a TV. We tried to go back in, but we couldn't."
One of the family's cats survived the fire, but one did not.
"He was gray, but had those white boots and streaks of white across his face," Holden said of her lost cat. "He would play fetch."
Holden, her family and friends came back to the home Friday morning to see what could be salvaged. She put a mask over her face, walked in the front door and turned left into her charred bedroom.
"Oh look, I found a book," she said. "And there's a pair of shoes, but I don't think I can reach them."
She found one of her children's baby books and began flipping through the pages. The cover and outside of the pages were charred, but the interior pages were OK, including some pictures in the book. Her laptop computer was burned in the fire, but she hoped to somehow salvage pictures and videos of her children from the hard drive.
The ceiling had caved in, and the walls were black with soot. Her carpeted floor was a pile of wet and burnt insulation from the attic.
The back bedrooms were also covered in black soot. The family tried to salvage some clothes.
"I don't know that we'll be able to get the smoke out," Holden said.
Holden was renting the home and does not have renter's insurance. She said the depth of what the family lost is hard to comprehend.
"The kids have no toys," she said. "We don't have any body wash. All our medicine burned up. I'm going to have to call the pharmacy. I have no I.D., no driver's license, no Social Security cards, no birth certificates. I don't have any shoes."
Rick Zaccardelli, Havelock fire chief, said the fire started about 10:30 p.m. when a child playing with a lighter set some bed linens on fire in a bedroom. The flames quickly spread into the attic of the home. He said when firefighters arrived, flames were coming through the roof.
"We had it under control in about 20 minutes with the help of Cherry Point," Zaccardelli said. "The guys did a good job of getting it under control. Thank God no one was hurt."
Zaccardelli is hoping to get the family help through the Red Cross.
Anyone wishing to help the family directly can call Holden at 252-772-3615.
After the fire, Holden, who is 21 weeks pregnant, and her family spent the night in a one-bedroom apartment belonging to her grandmother. She said trying to sleep proved difficult.
"I closed my eyes, and all I could see was orange," she said.

We're going to declare Jennifer Lawrence the night's best dressed celeb, due to her draped and leather-accented Prabal Gurung gown. (Truth be told, we can never deny a Prabal design.) Amanda Seyfried wowed in a multi-colored, mixed-fabric frock, and Elle Fanning stood out in floral appliqued Chanel. As for the rest of the bunch, Nina Dobrev and Quvenzhané Wallis went short and sparkly, while Emmy Rossum and Anne Hathaway opted for sleeveless long gowns.

The hollow, hackneyed phrase "die-hard Padres fan" took on new meaning and new gravity with the death of Richard Wexler.
After seeing every Padres game since his move to San Diego in the World Series season of 1998, Wexler was thrown a curve in the ninth inning of his life: He couldn't catch his team in person or watch it on TV.
Imagine how that buckled the former semipro ballplayer's knees at age 103.
Wexler died Jan. 7, eight days before Padres co-owner Ron Fowler said the team would finally intervene in an impasse that left 42 percent of the county's pay-TV customers with dark screens during 2012 games.
The phrase "about time" only applies to those of us who have it.
With Opening Day around a hot corner, attention is shifting to the two remaining holdouts who won't play ball with Fox Sports San Diego — Dish TV and Time Warner Cable. Speculation is that Dish, the county's smallest TV provider, will show games this season, but Time Warner, the county's second-biggest, may not. By one estimate, Time Warner serves about 22 percent — or 185,000 — of the county's pay-TV subscribers.
If you're looking to lampoon San Diego's status as a minor-league sports town, 22 is hardly much better than 42. It's a void.
Maybe a deal gets done and we'll all be complaining about catcher Yasmani Grandal's 50-game steroids suspension when the season starts April 1. Maybe not.
Nancy Grobe, Wexler's daughter, said this: "I hope that Time Warner, in tribute to him, will broadcast the Padres games this season. It was a great sadness for him to miss all of last year's games. Shame on them."
She and I struck up a conversation in August, much the way I'm hoping Padres and Time Warner executives conduct their talks: fruitfully.
"You can only imagine how sad he is," Grobe emailed me on Aug. 9, more than midway through last season. "It has really impacted the quality of his life."
"Thank you for having so much heart," she wrote as the season ended but my push to televise games didn't. "I can only hope that my 103-year-old dad will still be with us and will have the Pads' Opening Day to watch on TV."
Similar frustration has spread. Some fans have dropped season tickets while others have switched TV providers. Many have lost patience with, and fervor for, a team that owns a 20 percent stake in Fox Sports San Diego and should have ushered in a deal a year ago.
Lock the executives in a room, one said. Encourage an exodus from Time Warner, another said. Fox Sports is demanding too much, a third told me.
"I am as disgusted as other fans that absolutely nothing has progressed in the past 12 months," said Tierrasanta resident Jim Norr, 64. "My 6-year-old grandson, Nixon, and five of his pals could have agreed on something in far less time than has transpired to date."
Hear that? First-graders are better at jobs they don't have than Fox Sports and Time Warner executives are at theirs.

A Summary of Your Rights
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act
The Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is designed to promote accuracy, fairness, and privacy of information in the files of every "consumer reporting agency" (CRA). Most CRAs are credit bureaus that gather and sell information about you -- such as if you pay your bills on time or have filed bankruptcy -- to creditors, employers, landlords, and other businesses. You can find the complete text of the FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681-1681u, at the Federal Trade Commission's web site (http://www.ftc.gov). The FCRA gives you specific rights, as outlined below. You may have additional rights under state law. You may contact a state or local consumer protection agency or a state attorney general to learn those rights.
You must be told if information in your file has been used against you. Anyone who uses information from a CRA to take action against you -- such as denying an application for credit, insurance, or employment -- must tell you, and give you the name, address, and phone number of the CRA that provided the consumer report.
You can find out what is in your file. At your request, a CRA must give you the information in your file, and a list of everyone who has requested it recently. There is no charge for the report if a person has taken action against you because of information supplied by the CRA, if you request the report within 60 days of receiving notice of the action. You also are entitled to one free report every twelve months upon request if you certify that (1) you are unemployed and plan to seek employment within 60 days, (2) you are on welfare, or (3) your report is inaccurate due to fraud. Otherwise, a CRA may charge you up to eight dollars.
You can dispute inaccurate information with the CRA. If you tell a CRA that your file contains inaccurate information, the CRA must investigate the items (usually within 30 days) by presenting to its information source all relevant evidence you submit, unless your dispute is frivolous. The source must review your evidence and report its findings to the CRA. (The source also must advise national CRAs -- to which it has provided the data -- of any error.) The CRA must give you a written report of the investigation, and a copy of your report if the investigation results in any change. If the CRA's investigation does not resolve the dispute, you may add a brief statement to your file. The CRA must normally include a summary of your statement in future reports. If an item is deleted or a dispute statement is filed, you may ask that anyone who has recently received your report be notified of the change.
Inaccurate information must be corrected or deleted. A CRA must remove or correct inaccurate or unverified information from its files, usually within 30 days after you dispute it. However, the CRA is not required to remove accurate data from your file unless it is outdated (as described below) or cannot be verified. If your dispute results in any change to your report, the CRA cannot reinsert into your file a disputed item unless the information source verifies its accuracy and completeness. In addition, the CRA must give you a written notice telling you it has reinserted the item. The notice must include the name, address and phone number of the information source.
You can dispute inaccurate items with the source of the information. If you tell anyone -- such as a creditor who reports to a CRA -- that you dispute an item, they may not then report the information to a CRA without including a notice of your dispute. In addition, once you've notified the source of the error in writing, it may not continue to report the information if it is, in fact, an error.
Outdated information may not be reported. In most cases, a CRA may not report negative information that is more than seven years old; ten years for bankruptcies.
Access to your file is limited. A CRA may provide information about you only to people with a need recognized by the FCRA -- usually to consider an application with a creditor, insurer, employer, landlord, or other business.
Your consent is required for reports that are provided to employers, or reports that contain medical information. A CRA may not give out information about you to your employer, or prospective employer, without your written consent. A CRA may not report medical information about you to creditors, insurers, or employers without your permission.
You may choose to exclude your name from CRA lists for unsolicited credit and insurance offers. Creditors and insurers may use file information as the basis for sending you unsolicited offers of credit or insurance. Such offers must include a toll-free phone number for you to call if you want your name and address removed from future lists. If you call, you must be kept off the lists for two years. If you request, complete, and return the CRA form provided for this purpose, you must be taken off the lists indefinitely.
You may seek damages from violators. If a CRA, a user or (in some cases) a provider of CRA data, violates the FCRA, you may sue them in state or federal court.

There is a marriage cerificate that states my grandmother Julia Vitullo married a Francesco Trunzo which we never knew about

Best guesses?
Francesco TRUNZO is the original name. He probably chose to change it to a more 'Americanized' version to 'fit in' - STRANGIS.
Going by your family's recollections and probable records, a summary:
Francesco Trunzo arrived in 1908 joining his brother Tommaso just across the NY border in Niagara Falls Ontario.
In July 1911 Francesco Trunzo is living in Niagara Falls, Welland County, Ontario, born Sep 1889 in Italy, immig 1908
(click here) 1911 Census
He may have met Julia's family or neighbors at work.
(note: 7th Ave Niagara Falls, Welland, Ontario is only about 3.5 miles from 2210 MacKenna Ave Niagara Falls, Niagara, NY)
Francesco & Julia married in Niagara Falls Ontario in 1914 - Julia apparently didn't tell the truth about her age, she was about 15.
Francesco and Julia Trunzo lived on Seventh Street in Niagara Falls Ontario after they were married. (address also on the March 1916 border crossing)
In 1915 they lost two daughters, both named Maria/Mary.
11 Feb 1915 Death Record (Julia's maiden name spelled wrong)
31 Dec 1915 Death Record
In March 1916 they traveled across the boarder to visit in Niagara Falls, NY.
In May 1917 they were apparently living in Pittsfield, Berkshire, MA where their son Francesco (Raimondo) was born on May 10th.
It is possible that they moved to Chicago, Cook, IL. [this is a correct date, confirmend by the death certificate for their son Antonio Strangis on 1919]
If they moved back to Italy before 5 June 1917 there wouldn't be a record of Francesco registering for the WWI Draft.
If they were still in the US there should be a 1917 Draft Registration Card under either Trunzo or Strangis.
So far we can't find a 1920 census for Francesco or Julia.
In October 1926 Julia obtained a passport from Washington DC
In November 1926 Julia & her son returned from Italy to Niagara Falls, NY to her parents' address. Julia is listed as being married.
We can't find a record of Francesco traveling back to the US.
In 1930 Julia and her son Frank STRANGIS (edit: corrected name) are listed with her parents in Niagara Falls, NY. Julia is listed as being a widow.

Anorexia is an eating disorder . It occurs when a person's obsession with diet and exercise leads to extreme weight loss. The disorder is considered if a person refuses to maintain a body weight at or above 85% of their ideal body weight. It can be fatal.
Risk Factors
Anorexia is more common in women. Factors that increase your risk for anorexia include:
- Low self-esteem
- Feelings of helplessness
- Perfectionism
- Fear of becoming overweight
- Pressure to be thin
- Family history of eating disorders
- Emotional stress
- Mood disorders, such as depression or generalized anxiety disorder
- Personality disorders
- Influenced by social and fashion trends emphasizing or glamorizing thinness
Symptoms may include:
- Excessive weight loss
- Obsession with food, calories, and fat content
- Dieting even when thin
- Intense fear of gaining weight, even when underweight
- Body dysmorphia—distorted self-image of being overweight despite evidence of the opposite
- Basing self-evaluation heavily on body weight or shape
- Loss of menstrual periods
- Excessive exercising
- Feeling cold, especially hands and feet
- Being secretive about food
- Hair loss and/or growth of fine hair on the body
- Fainting or severe light-headedness
- Constipation
- Depression and/or anxiety
- Heart palpitations
Anorexia often leads to a number of serious medical problems including:
- Osteoporosis
- Cardiac problems—can be fatal if an irregular heartbeat develops
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam and psychological evaluation will be done.
Other tests may include:
- Blood tests to look for chemical imbalances
- Electrocardiogram (EKG)—to check your heart's electrical activity
- Bone density tests
The goal of treatment is to get you return you to a healthy weight and to help you maintain that weight. A healthy weight is above 85% of your ideal weight. To achieve this, your intake of calories is gradually increased. This can be accomplished through a number of interventions, including the following:
Nutritional Consultation
A dietitian may be consulted to help you learn more about the components of a healthy diet. The dietitian will also talk to you about reasonable weight goals and calorie goals.
Therapy can help address harmful thought patterns, improve eating behavior, and increase self-esteem. There are many different types of therapy. Work with your doctor and therapists to determine which therapy may be best for you. You may use more than one therapy or try different therapies before you find one that works best for you. Some therapy options include:
- Cognitive behavioral therapists —To help you develop a healthier and more realistic self-image. The therapist will help you find new ways to think about your body and your diet.
- Interpersonal therapy —To help you understand and cope with concerns about your relationships.
- Family therapy—Families often play a role in eating disorders. Many people cannot recover unless their families are involved in the changes. All families need to understand the disorder to provide the appropriate support.
In some cases, people with anorexia benefit from a combination of psychotherapy and antidepressant medication. In particular, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are used. Used alone, antidepressant therapy is not an effective treatment for anorexia.
Addressing Nutritional Status and Loss of Bone Density
Medications and supplements may include:
- Vitamins and minerals to maintain adequate nutrition
- Hormone replacement to resume periods and prevent bone loss
Hospitalization may be necessary if:
- Weight is more than 25% below ideal body weight
- There are signs of serious physical or emotional deterioration
There are no guidelines to prevent anorexia. Early detection and treatment is the best option.

Dog Bloat
Dog Bloat
Causes of Bloat
Canine bloat has many aliases, if you have ever heard the words 'gastric dilatation-volvulus' or 'torsion' then they were talking about what we more commonly know as bloat. Unfortunately, bloat is worse than it sounds. When we think about bloat or bloating we imagine how it appears on us – usually a full looking stomach after eating a lot, which then goes away within a few hours. It is a similar scenario for dogs, but more serious if left untreated, even life-threatening. It can occur in any dog, but the ones most susceptible are larger breeds such as the Great Dane and the St. Bernard. Treatment of bloat can be complex and cost a lot of money – you should do all you can to prevent it from happening in the first place.
All it takes for bloat to occur is a bad eating habit or habits. There is no doubt about it that dogs love their meal times and when it comes, you only have to turn for one second and it's been thrown down the hatch – along with a few mouthfuls of air and followed by a bowl full of water. Worse still, after mealtime it's time to take them out to do their 'business' and excited to be outdoors most dogs will not hesitate to get some exercise. If this sound like you and your dog then bloat could be just around the corner or already may be a problem.
Minor cases of bloat might occur with puppies that wolf their food down whilst competing with their siblings. However, they tend to vomit if they have overeaten or belch which can alleviate bloat immediately.
If it takes place more than once or twice then you must seek advice from your veterinarian who can discuss possible treatments.
Bloat and Physiology
To further understand bloat we have to educate dog owners about the physiology – yes it is in part a science topic but not at all that difficult to comprehend.
Gastric distension makes the dog's stomach twist in an unnatural way and this is called torsion or volvulus. Twisting can go one of two ways:
• Along the Longitudinal Axis (Torsion)
• Along the Mesenteric Axis (Volvulus)
In turn, this twisting motion blocks the esophagus pipe and your dog will not be able to belch or vomit to alleviate the bloating. It can also hinder the spleen and stop blood flow. It gets more complex from here on but it has disastrous effects on the body – there will be a build up of toxins, and organs will cease to work properly, stomach rupturing is also a possibility.
Typical symptoms to look out for include excessive salivating, retching, fatigue and a general weakness.
Treatment and Prevention
If any signs of bloat occur in your dog then don't hesitate to seek the advice from a certified veterinarian, perhaps warning them of your intended visit so that they can prepare beforehand. Your canine friend will be under shock from GDV and will receive both steroids and IV fluids straight away. Antibiotics may also be given at this stage. Then they will attempt to treat the bloat by decompression and the use of a gastric levage to empty the contents of the stomach.
More often than not, the dog will need gastroplexy surgery to untwist the stomach and anchor the stomach back in place. Long term you will need to change the dog's eating habits and give special Dog Food and/or medication.
To prevent this occurring you should see that your dog is fed several times a day as opposed to just one meal which could make the eating process a slower and more enjoyable one. Train them not to gulp down food and wait for an hour or two before taking them for a walk.
