Thread: What is your signature scent?
I don't have one. I am too diverse right now.
Havana Reserva
Rive Gauche Intense
I love so many that I don't have a signature fragrance. If I had to choose only one it would be Uomo? Moschino.
hmm.. It`s a difficult one, but i think the two fragrances i use most is Guerlain Vetiver and L`Instant de Guerlain..
Well here are the 4 frags that I prefer more than any others the past six months. Pressed to choose one fragrance? I couldn't...Givenchy Vetyver and Montale - Red Vetyver will have to agree to exist together.
The other two are: Bond - Bleecker Street and CDG - Vettiveru

My newly found absolute favorite fragrance and signature-to-be-for-quite-some-time...
ETRO New Tradition.
I find it to be the perfect combination of all my favorite notes: lavender, rose, vetiver, patchouli, herbs...it's very fresh and aromatic, like a damp garden full of herbs and roses. Lasts all day on me (and into the next day on clothes), yet it doesn't have ridiculously strong projection so never seems "perfumey" and always smells natural.
And ETRO even makes a New Tradition shoe shine sponge, how cool is that!
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 ."

I can honestly say that I don't have a signature scent. But it would appear that Santos Eau de Sport is starting down that path.
For me it has to be Bois du Portugal. I really love the stuff.
I had Acqua Di Gio for such a long time, and I recently bought a new one again, but I'm afraid Dior Homme took over, although, tomorrow I'll get the new Baldessarini - Strictly Private, so who knows.
I would have to say, at this point, it would be Creed, BdP, but I tend to hoard it so I do not wear it as often as I would like. I used to do the same thing with clothes, buy a $200 pair of jeans and never want to wear then for fear of damaging them or only wanting to wear them for special times. Anyway, I love the citrusy woody smell of BdP, but my senses have been changing so much lately I do not know how long this will last for.

Signature scent according to others: Clinique Happy or Kenneth Cole Reaction
Signature scent according to myself: Lolita Lempicka au Masculin
"Wait...is David Bowie really God?" - Penelope Garcia
Probably Profumum Thundra. Although, like TheAttorney with his Bois du Portugal, I tend to "hoard" it.
If I could only wear one...Terre d'Hermes
Current faves: Aventus, Eau Des Baux, Green Irish Tweed, MFK Masculin Pluriel, Royal Oud
Now the closest to it is 1872 Clive Christian. I just have a sample, but so little is needed that it'll keep for ages.
Signature Scent..Geesh....Lawd....this changes moment to moment....Hour to Hour.....
Yesterday: 10:00am - Cannabis Santal
Last Night: 7:30pm - Polo Reserve
Today: 7:00am - Heritage
Tonight: 8:15pm - Probably be Straight to Heaven
You get the picture. HA HA
Tomorrow: Who knows, it could be Bay Rum...LOL

According to my friend, it's Dior Homme. She tells me I "don't smell right" if I'm not wearing it and I see her.
Personally, I don't think I've got one!
Oh, it's Escada Pour Homme--I wear it more than anything else, for sure. It's the one scent I own that I cannot imagine myself without.
However, I am still in the whirlwind introductory sniffing/learning/loving stage and my tastes are certain to change like the winds of a long-off Upstate summer. I received a bunch of samples last week and the earth around me began to shake: Evil, thy name is niche...

My rotation nowadays is:
Burberry London
Le Male
Fleur du Male
Fahrenheit 32
Aqva Pour Homme Marine
Used to be Bulgari pour homme. Lately I've been wearing Guerlain vetiver as my go to scent.
Platinum Egoiste
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
If by signature, you mean that others can recognize me by scent, then no I don't have one. Too many varied fragrances in my rotation right now. But if I had to choose one, I suppose it would be Chanel PM (1955). Or Dior Homme.Or possibly Boid d'Iris. Then again, if I had the money to spring for a bottle, it might very well be Iris Pallida or Iris Silver Mist.
Oh, dear...

My signature scent has changed over the years.....my first cologne was Avon Crisp Lime.
.....in early high school, it was Pierre Cardin PM.....later on, it was Azzaro PH. Early college and through my mid 20's it was Polo Green......followed by Gravity in my late 20's and early 30's.
Now, I have a rotation and I love them all for differing reasons.

L'Artisan - Tea for Two has always been my signature. I wear it less often but it is the scent that people only associate with me. No one else I know or been around has worn it so I still have the rights, among my friends/family, at this time.
EnvYuS My Wardrobe
I don't think I have one. I'm having a lot of fun trying different things and have built up a small backlog of samples, so between those and what I already own, I tend to switch from day to day.
I should be getting more colognes in the mail
honestly ive tried over 25 so far and kouros is the one that really defines me
Im only 24 but I wear it like a pro
we will see what happens from here
Off-Site Decants =) (updated 05/16/12)
I have given up on finding that particular scent that defines me. I tend to like groups of things, like Vetiver (Guerlain and Chanel), Caron's (L'A, PuH, #3, Yatagan, Lutens Chergui, a couple of Creed's GV and GIT and Malle (Musc Ravageur) All different. All Nice. MIne

Don't really have a signature scent, but my go to guy has become Chanel Egoiste. This is the finest scent I own. It is so regal, refined, and sophisticated that I feel like it embodies the person I am (or want to be).

I believe my new Baldessarini might be my signature scent, although, I'd probally use both Dior Homme + Strictly Private as signature.
unico grande amore.
I don't have one. I wear something different every day. But before, when I only had 3 colognes, I used Lucky Brand Lucky You the most. I don't use my best scents often; I save them for special occasions. Therefore my everyday scents tend to be something that I don't like as much.
If I had to pick one right now, it would probably be Encre Noire. But, it is hard to get down to even 5. The others right now are Terre d'hermes, CDG 2Man, YSL M7 Fresh, Burberry London and Bvlgari PH Soir. All are bottle worthy.

Acqua di Parma Colonia Assoluta
I haven't been posting so much lately, because I've been so super happy with Mouchoir de Monsieur and haven't had so much interest in exploring new territories. It's almost signature, for now.

Almost worked My slim 48 inch tall 6 year old tried these on and compared to two other styles of pants from Justice, these were much better. They are just long enough, they come right to the top of her ankle but that left no grow room and no room for shrinkage either. The waist was small enough that they did stay up on her waist when cinched with the drawcord. However, they fold over at the waist also which made them feel as if they were gaping in the back and my daughter didn't want to wear them because they felt like they were falling off. Was disappointed that only one fourth of my order came gift wrapped and I had to pay for return shipping because the return label was not prepaid. Justice products do seem to be made of durable, quality materials, but sizing varies from style to style. Overall I think products are good, but my online ordering experience has not been pleasant. Maybe it's because it is such a busy time of year though. December 8, 2013

DEEP RUN — A win's a win — especially when it's by 25 points.
But for a South Lenoir squad that has come out of the gate strong for its 2013-14 campaign, Tuesday's 52-27 victory over Spring Creek left something to be desired — even though the win kept SL undefeated (6-0).
"I don't know if our effort is where it needed to be," Blue Devils coach Jeremy Barnett said. "I don't think our kids took (the Gators) lightly, but I don't think we came out as ready to play as I thought we should have been."
Early on, both teams struggled to maintain possession of the ball. After Spring Creek's Trey Hammonds hit a 3-pointer during the first minute of play, the clock ticked halfway through the quarter before either team could make an offensive impact.
With 4:34 remaining in the quarter, Barnett called a timeout to refocus his team's offensive effort.
What followed was an 11-point run, sparked by Jonte Midgette's five points.
"We haven't play since last Tuesday, so we spent all that time working on our man offense," Barnett said. "We just weren't trying to set up an offense (at the beginning of the game). We've got kids that break people down off the dribble… but we aren't going to be able to do that when we enter conference play.
"I just didn't think we were attempting to run anything, we were just going through the motions."
The Blue Devils were able to hold on to an eight-point margin, carrying a 21-13 lead into the half.
While the South Lenoir lead hovered between six and 10 points through the third quarter, the Devils' Jadarius Mickens completed an and 1 at the charity stripe with 1:46 remaining in the quarter, signaling South Lenoir's chance to put the game away.
The Blue Devils would outscore the Gators 22-8 over the last 12 minutes of play — including giving up just five points in the fourth quarter — while picking up their sixth straight victory. When the two teams met in November, South Lenoir came away with a 72-34 win.
In their six wins, the Blue Devils have only given up more than 35 points once.
"Defensively is where we're going to win games," Barnett said. "We want to get out in transition and run. We want to score in the 60s and 70s, and we're not going to be able to if our defense isn't playing well."
South Lenoir was led by Jaquan Wooten with 16 points, while Dion Jones had 13.
Tonight's junior varsity and varsity games against Southwest Onslow were moved to a later date. South Lenoir's game against Wallace-Rose Hill, scheduled for Thursday night, has been postponed until January. Both changes were made to accommodate the opposing school's football seasons.
Girls' game
The Blue Devils held the Gators scoreless during the second quarter, picking up 12 points by Demeyia Adams en route to a 40-28 victory over Spring Creek.
South Lenoir led by 12 at the half and stretched the lead to 17 entering the fourth allowing coach Donald Mooring to empty his bench early.
Marquia Suddeth had 10 points and Meosha Franklin added 7 for South Lenoir.
Spring Creek's Amber Buchan led all scorers with 14 points, including three 3-pointers.
The Blue Devils will face former East Central Conference-foe Southwest Onslow on Friday.

MARY MCCORMACK kicked her husband out of their house on Sunday after she found out he was messing around with KATHARINE MCPHEE. Michael Morris knew the photos were being shopped around, and he actually tried to buy them himself. But he was outbid by TMZ. So he fessed up to Mary, and she sent him packing. Katharine has been separated from her husband for six months, but a source says she's still, quote, "SO embarrassed she was caught" messing around with Morris.
PAULY D'S baby-mama claims she has texts from Pauly in which he tried to get her to abort the baby that was conceived during their Vegas fling. But yesterday Pauly said, quote, "Sometimes in life things aren't planned and they may even scare you at first, but they end up being a blessing."
ROBIN THICKE shared some advice he once got from his father, sitcom legend ALAN THICKE. Robin was staring at a pretty girl, and Alan told him, quote, "What if there's a prettier girl sitting two tables away? Now she's not going to feel special."
BRAD PITT has reportedly been STINKING lately, because he's given up using soap. He feels that it's full of toxins and it's both bad for the planet and speeds up the aging process. Instead he uses, quote, "a homemade concoction of lemons, water and apple cider vinegar."
Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr are over as husband and wife. The couple has split after three years of marriage. A rep for Bloom said. "In a joint statement, Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr have announced that they have been amicably separated for the past few months. After six years together, they have recently decided to formalize their separation." The two began dating in 2007 and were married in July 2010. Kerr gave birth to their son, Flynn, on Jan. 6, 2011.
10/24/13 Is Lilo Drinking Again?
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, October 24, 2013
KIM KARDASHIAN reportedly KNEW KANYE WEST was going to propose, and she even told him what jeweler to go to for her ring. Kanye supposedly designed the 15-carat ring . . . but Kim told him to use Lorraine Schwartz, the same jeweler who made the ring KRIS HUMPHRIES gave her.
This probably doesn't make a difference since they both have more money than they know what to do with, but KANYE WEST reportedly won't make KIM KARDASHIAN sign a prenup. A source says, quote, "Kanye's in love with Kim to the point of infatuation . . . he thinks [a prenup is] tacky and he doesn't want to offend Kim or make anything seem awkward. He thinks of his money and his accomplishments and hers and he wants to share them with her . . . no strings attached."
CLINT EASTWOOD'S wife DINA officially filed for divorce this week. As you may recall, she had previously WITHDRAWN her papers for legal separation. There's no word what changed her mind . . . all she'll give for a reason is "irreconcilable differences." Dina is seeking physical custody of their 16-year-old daughter Morgan, plus spousal support and attorney fees. Meanwhile, Clint's latest fling, Erica Fisher, is reportedly living with him . . . and driving his Benz. And one of her sons is working as a production assistant on Clint's latest movie. Erica's ex-husband is a longtime friend of Dina's.
Is LINDSAY LOHAN still drinking? The paparazzi shot a picture of Lindsay through the window of a Hollywood Hills home . . . and it looks like she's reaching for a WINE BOTTLE. The picture was taken Tuesday night. Sources say Lindsay has ditched her sober coach, saying she can go it alone from here on out.
DINA LOHAN was in court yesterday for a hearing regarding her DUI. Outside the courthouse, her slimy attorney Mark Heller told reporters THEY caused Dina to drive drunk. He said, quote, "The circumstances leading to Dina's arrest were largely impacted by ongoing daily stresses caused by you folks, the paparazzi, media attention and distorted tabloid character profiles."
10/23/13 Cheating Scandal

Wednesday, October 23, 2013
More details about the Kim Kardashian and Kanye West engagement. Kanye spent $35,000 to rent out the stadium . . . and a reported $1.25 million on the ring. One member of the orchestra told TMZ she was paid four times her usual rate for the gig . . . and nobody knew about it until two days beforehand. She also said CAMERAS WERE ROLLING . . . so we can probably expect to see this on an upcoming episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians". Sources do say, though, that Kanye has final approval on what ends up on the show and what doesn't.
If this doesn't make for the PERFECT METAPHOR, then nothing does: During a report on KIM KARDASHIAN and KANYE WEST'S engagement, MSNBC accidentally cut to the wrong footage. Instead of a video package on Kim and Kanye, they showed surveillance video of a guy accidentally walking off a subway platform and falling onto the tracks. The caption at the bottom read, "Kimye Engaged."
Former "American Idol" contestant KATHERINE MCPHEE was photographed making out with Michael Morris . . . who directed her TV show "Smash". And both of them are married to OTHER PEOPLE. Morris' wife is MARY MCCORMACK and they have three daughters, ages 2, 6 and 9. Katherine is married to a guy named Nick Cokas. They have no kids. Since all of this happened IN PLAIN SIGHT . . . pun intended . . . it may not be a KRISTEN STEWART-type situation. Sources say Katherine and Nick have been separated for six months. There's no word on the status of Michael and Mary's relationship.
PAULY D from "Jersey Shore" is a dad. He has a 5-month-old daughter named Amabella. She's the result of a VEGAS HOOKUP last fall, but it's legit. Pauly took a DNA test and everything.
During the Hollywood Film Awards on Monday night, SEAN PENN introduced honoree JULIA ROBERTS with a bizarre, rambling speech in which he talked about how sexy it is to watch her eat, and how he'd love to see a 3D movie of her eating, while he sat in the audience with a virtual toothpick. He might have been a little drunk.
10/22/13 Kim & Kanye Engaged
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, October 22, 2013
Reportedlly, Kim Kardashian is engaged to Kanye West. Kanye popped the question in front of their friends and family at AT&T Park in San Francisco. He rented out the stadium and according to E!, Kanye first asked future mother-in-law Kris Jenner for her daughter's hand in marriage. Then, he got down on one knee and proposed to Kim with a 15-carat diamond ring by celebrity jeweler Lorraine Schwartz. A 50-piece orchestra played Lana Del Rey's "Young and Beautiful," followed by Keri Hilson, Ne-Yo and Kanye's "Knock You Down." Fireworks and Roman candles exploded into the night sky.
KATY PERRY was in bad shape when her marriage to RUSSELL BRAND ended. She says, quote, "I'm not the kind of person who is always like, 'What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.' I was in bed for about two weeks. I was pretty [effed], yes. It hurt a lot. I got a good knock." She adds, quote, "My self-worth was in someone else's hands, which is never a good idea because it can be taken from you at any time. And it was, and it was shattered."
JUSTIN BIEBER didn't just visit a Houston strip club on Friday night . . . he MADE IT RAIN. A stripper named DIAMOND Tweeted a picture of the STACKS of money Justin dropped on her. Meanwhile, the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission has reportedly launched an investigation after seeing a photo of Justin from later that night, hanging out at a club called NOX, while holding a Dos Equis.
For years, people thought of JENNA JAMESON as the porno star who kind of beat the system. She got INSANELY rich and successful, and didn't seem to have any of the psychological baggage a lot of mattress actresses carry. But maybe we all spoke too soon. She was on TV yesterday to hype her new novel . . . yes, she's an "author" now . . . and she was a MESS. Jenna was booked for a longer appearance, but producers cut it short after they saw her condition. (Jenna's ex, TITO ORTIZ, claims she's hooked on Oxycontin.)
CEE LO GREEN was in court yesterday to face allegations that he slipped a woman Ecstasy and then sexually assaulted her. Prosecutors declined to file sexual assault charges due to lack of evidence. But they did charge him with a felony count of furnishing a controlled substance.

The "Star" tabloid says JENNIFER LOPEZ kicked CASPER SMART out . . . and didn't even let him take anything with him. A source says she told him, quote, "You came with nothing, you will leave with nothing."
On her show Friday, ELLEN DEGENERES surprised a 22-year-old New Hampshire waitress with a $10,000 check. The woman had recently covered the bill for two female National Guard soldiers who weren't being paid due to the government shutdown.
A 33-year-old man named Toby Sheldon has undergone $100,000 worth of plastic surgery to look like JUSTIN BIEBER. If I were him, I'd get a refund. Sheldon has had Botox injections, hair transplants and even "smile surgery". He says, quote, "It's Justin's smile that gives him his youthful look. So I had my upper lip lifted [and] my bottom lip plumped out."
Ryan Reynolds was forced to strip during a recent plane flight. During a flight from New York City to New Orleans, Ryan had to take his shirt off because a passenger vomited all over him. A witness says, quote, "A young lady in front of him vomited toward her window, which then spewed back all over Ryan's cashmere sweater. The vomit looked like it was largely made up of red wine, and it made a huge stain so he took it off!"

A boat manufacturer says it will be bringing 200 jobs to Onslow County.
Area officials announced Tuesday that Armstrong Marine, Inc. is establishing a welded aluminum boat manufacturing operation near Swansboro, where Hatteras Yachts operated before closing its doors in 2008.
The company plans to invest more than $8.4 million at the facility, according to area economic officials.
Josh Armstrong, president and CEO of Armstrong Marine, said they plan to hire about 10 people in the first six months of 2014 to prepare the facility to go full force.
"We start limited production in 2014, and then as we get those key people in place we will start sort of the more substantial amount of jobs in probably the second half of 2014 into 2015," he told The Daily News on Tuesday.
Armstrong said the company began looking at Onslow County because the company services military and government markets.
"We also export a considerable amount of product and we send it to South America, Europe and the Middle East and it's much more logical to ship it from there as opposed to Seattle, so we we're looking to be a better provider of vessels shipping from two points. Why not one on the west coast and one on the east coast? … It seems to be a very friendly environment for business," he said.
Paul Buchanan, chairman of the Onslow County Board of Commissioners, said via press release that the announcement has several upsides.
"It is great that Onslow County citizens will have the opportunity to compete for new jobs. I'm also glad to see that building being put to good use," he said.
An existing exceptional work force is important when luring business to the county, Commissioner Lionell Midgett said via the release.
"We are recognized as having a quality, highly skilled workforce. We do have a continuing pool of transitioning Marines with valuable skills and traits. Plus their family members bring valuable skills and a strong work ethic to our community," he said.
Armstrong Marine manufactures welded aluminum boats, fire boats, dive boats, pilot boats, research vessels, interceptors and riverine craft for both military and industrial markets, according to information from Jacksonville-Onslow Economic Development. The company's manufacturing facility is currently housed in Port Angeles, Wash.
Gov. Pat McCrory said via a Tuesday announcement that the company will be a great addition to Onslow County.
"The manufacturing industry is a critical target sector for North Carolina, one that is becoming increasingly important to sustainable job and investment growth for the state," McCrory said.
N.C. Commerce Secretary Sharon Decker said coastal North Carolina has become a go-to location for businesses.
"The coastal region of Onslow County and surrounding counties has become a very desirable site for companies to locate marine manufacturing operations," Decker said. "We're fortunate to have a strong business climate and outstanding quality of life that can't be beat."
Salaries will vary by job function, but the average annual wage for the new jobs will be $31,420 plus benefits. The average annual wage in Onslow County is $26,908.
Armstrong described the jobs as "decent paying blue collar jobs." He said they will also be hiring human resources, management, engineering and trades such as metal fabrication, welding, boat systems installations, engine installations and mechanical positions.
Armstrong said the company plans to work with Coastal Carolina Community College on training programs because there are specific skill sets they need people trained for because it is a new industry to the area. Among programs being considered are aluminum welding and fabrication and aluminum boat construction.
Coastal Carolina Community College Public Information Officer Krystal Phillips said while there aren't any definite plans yet, they are working to make accommodations to work with the company since it is "for the betterment of the community."
"Armstrong Marine is a good fit for Onslow County. In addition to the local skilled workforce, they seek to hire transitioning military whenever possible, as the DoD is one of their major customers," said Sheila Pierce, executive director of Jacksonville Onslow Economic Development.
Pierce told The Daily News that the organization has been working with Armstrong Marine for more than a year on their expansion to Onslow County.
"Jacksonville Onslow Economic Development is working hard to attract industries to our county … and we hope that this will open the door for other opportunities, whether it be folks that are in their supply chain and can provide their products and services or other vendors," she said.
Pierce said that the Onslow County location will be a "huge expansion" for the family-owned business.
"We're excited about the fact that they plan to grow to about 200 jobs within 5 years … and I believe they will be able to succeed in that," she said.
Steve Wangerin, chairman of Jacksonville Onslow Economic Development, said that he and the board are excited about the company's decision to come to Onslow.
"The economic development team has done a fantastic job in working with Armstrong Marine to make this happen and we look forward to building upon the success with Armstrong and other companies interested in our community," he said.
Pierce said the company would not be receiving any financial incentives from Onslow County or North Carolina though they did qualify for training assistance through the North Carolina community college system's customized training program.

GARETH DUNCAN says the Stormers need to make a move to sign Lions flyhalf Elton Jantjies on loan for next year's Super Rugby.
In 2011, the Stormers struggled with a flyhalf injury crisis. It got so bad that head coach Allister Coetzee reeled in Earl Rose (who's currently playing club rugby in Cape Town's Premier League B) to provide pivot cover.
This year, a loose forward injury crisis affected the Cape franchise's campaign. To ease their woes, Coetzee signed Canadian international flank Jebb Sinclair, promoted his WP Vodacom Cup flanks and shifted specialist hooker Deon Fourie to No 8.
While we're just over the halfway stage of the Currie Cup, the 2013 Super Rugby campaign is just over four months away. And the Stormers could struggle with another flyhalf crisis if they don't make a plan soon.
WP first-choice flyhalf Demetri Catrakilis will make a move to the Kings after the domestic scene. Back-ups Gary van Aswegen and Kurt Coleman are both injured, while Burton Francis's frustrations after a third transfer failure (following the Bulls and Lions) has seen him seeking game time at SWD in the First Division.
Peter Grant will be back, but as experienced this year, he is likely to miss the opening rounds of Super Rugby because of his Japanese club commitments with the Kobe Steelers.
So there's certainly a headache for the Stormers management. In fact, if Catrakilis gets crocked, fullback Joe Pietersen or scrumhalf Louis Schreuder will spearhead Province for the rest of the campaign.
So who should Coetzee bring in to solve this potential flyhalf crisis?
Elton Jantjies.
The Lions have been relegated. While there are plans for the Johannesburg franchise to compete in an alternative international tournament, most of their players have confirmed that they want to compete in the top tournaments, like Super Rugby.
The Lions have committed most of their troops until October 2013, which president Kevin de Klerk has stressed will prevent a mass player exodus. However, Jantjies has a clause in his contract that will allow him to represent another franchise next year.
The Stormers need to lure the Springbok flyhalf to Cape Town.
When I interviewed Stormers and WP backline coach Robbie Fleck on Thursday, he spoke about how the team is building a stronger attacking game during the Currie Cup to mould a more effective game plan for Super Rugby.
There have been improvements as WP have emerged as the best attacking and defensive outfit of the Currie Cup, according to statistics.
When I queried Fleck about the flyhalf predicament he said: 'The flyhalf crisis is here and we need to sort it out. I don't want to comment on the contracting side of things, because I'm not involved with that. But yes, we could use a guy like Elton Jantjies. He will fit into our game plan .'
It's rumoured that Jantjies has a R2.5 million asking price. It's steep, but worth it as the 22-year-old has the attacking and kicking attributes the Stormers need to ensure their attacking improvements extend into 2013.
A stint in Cape Town will also be good for the player.
At the moment, he's one of the fringe players in the Springbok squad. He's set to make his Test debut off the bench against the Wallabies on Saturday, and he'll need to be playing Super Rugby to prove to Heyneke Meyer he deserves his spot in his team.
Like Lions utility back Jaco Taute told me earlier this month: 'Super Rugby allows you to play against some of the best players in the world. That's the only way you can measure yourself.' Taute, who's also set to make his Test debut in Pretoria, is expected to make a move to another franchise.
The Bulls have Morne Steyn, the Sharks have Pat Lambie, the Cheetahs have Johan Goosen and the Kings will have Catrakilis. The Stormers need Jantjies.

This page describes how to get started if you want to build Activiti Designer yourself or if you want to extend Activiti Designer's features. It assumes you have a working knowledge of Eclipse, Maven and RCP development.
- Start by downloading an Indigo or Juno version of Eclipse for RCP and RAP Developers from here: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
- Download and install Maven 3 from here: http://maven.apache.org/download.html . Using Maven 2.x will not work, so make sure you have a compliant version. Commands listed further on will assume that you have the mvn command linked to Maven 3. Make sure your Maven settings are such, that Maven can access the Internet to reach public repositories and download dependencies
- Add the Eclipse Modelling Framework (EMF) SDK
- Add Eclipse Graphiti SDK 0.9.1 from update site http://download.eclipse.org/graphiti/updates/0.9.1.
- Add a team provider for Subversion, such as Subversive
- Add the following location as source code repository: https://github.com/Activiti/Activiti-Designer
As you can see, there are quite a number of projects in this tree. You will need to have all of them in your Eclipse workspace to build Designer yourself. It's important that you perform a checkout of all of these projects as top level projects in your workspace. Obviously, you can do without the examples folder, but you need the other projects.
- Checkout all of the folders in the source control location as top level Eclipse projects.
Open a console and navigate to the directory of your Eclipse workspace and then into the org.activiti.designer.parent directory, which is of course the directory of the project with the same name. Now perform the following Maven commands:
Code Block
mvn clean eclipse:clean mvn eclipse:eclipse
This might take a while because Maven will now download a lot of dependencies to your local repository and setup the projects. Make sure the command ends with a Build Successful so you know everything's OK as far as Maven is concerned.
- Go back to Eclipse, select all of the projects, right click and choose Refresh. The information set by Maven will now be picked up by Eclipse. If you like being thorough, you can perform a Project > Clean command as well.
- Now you have a environment for working with Activiti Designer. To run Designer, right click the org.activiti.designer.eclipse project and choose Run as > Eclipse application.
The projects
This section briefly describes the different projects used in Activiti Designer.
- org.activiti.designer.eclipse: contains the main extensions of Eclipse extension points and a lot of shared code for working with the model, saving resources and utilities.
- org.activiti.designer.gui: contains most of the UI code, mainly functionality that utilizes Graphiti for drawing diagrams.
- org.activiti.designer.help: help files for end users.
- org.activiti.designer.export.bpmn20: provides an extension of the ExportMarshaller extension point to generate BPMN 2.0 xml files.
- org.activiti.designer.validation.bpmn20: provides an extension of the ProcessValidator extension point to validate diagrams according to BPMN 2.0 rules.
- org.activiti.designer.integration: provides APIs to developers creating CustomServiceTask extensions.
- org.activiti.designer.parent: Maven parent project, used mainly for building the project.
- org.activiti.designer.feature: contains an Eclipse feature definition, which groups the various projects into the installable Activiti Designer feature.
- org.activiti.designer.updatesite: contains an Eclipse update site definition, which allows you to build a website that can be used as an Eclipse update site.

Robert M. Jones, Art Director, RCA/Victor Records, writing in the November 1960 issue of American Artist, concluded:
Though color photography presently dominates album cover art...
... there is evidence that the taste of the record buyer is maturing.
He is demanding a sophisticated, enlightened art work.
Musical content is also becoming increasingly important.
Fortunately, a semi-nude pretty girl is no longer enough to sell the product...
... to an audience whose taste in music is constantly being upgraded by quality recordings.

Really Enjoyed it!ReplyDelete
This entire series has been pure visual music! Even as a kid I would keep the albums from my parent's collection that had art on the covers. When I later started to buy my own I found an old record store in the East Village of NYC and bought dozens of old album expressly for the art. The first I ever remember buying were the McGinnis/McCarthy illustrated JAMES BOND soundtracks. Even at age 10 I apparently had good taste as a kid! LOLReplyDelete

NIST, DHS trying to tame cyber workforce definitions
Wednesday - 12/14/2011, 5:42am EST
The government is trying to bring calm to the chaos of its haphazard approach to building a cybersecurity workforce, and it wants help.
The multiagency National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education, led by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, is seeking public comment until Dec. 16 on a draft plan to standardize cybersecurity work throughout the government.
The NICE framework is a dictionary of cybersecurity work, divided into seven categories from operating networks to analyzing cyber threats. Together, those categories contain 31 job functions linked to more than 1,000 knowledge, skills and abilities.
"From driving educational programs in K-12 through training programs offered commercially, through cybersecurity competitions, this is our keystone," said National Cybersecurity Education Strategy Director Peggy Maxson.
If successful, the framework could be the structure that gives everyone in and outside government a clear idea of what it means to be a cyber professional.
In 2009, President Barack Obama declared the cyber threat to be "one of the most serious economic and national security challenges we face as a nation."
Recent reports indicate the government still doesn't have a handle on who is defending its networks in cyberspace.
It's hard for agencies to determine whether their cybersecurity workforce is strong enough to meet their needs, according to a recent Government Accountability Office report.
It found agencies struggle to get a handle on how many cybersecurity workers they have, how much time those workers devote to computer and network protection and whether their cybersecurity positions align with federal guidelines.
"The most critical problem in establishing the cybersecurity professional workforce was, indeed, to first define what that is," said Maxson at a webinar hosted by Government Business Council. "We weren't at a lack of definitions at the federal government. Every agency has their definitions."
That is precisely the problem.
"We couldn't even talk [Department of Homeland Security] to Health and Human Services to the National Security Agency about the duties of system administration, which should be a common duty across the federal government," she said.
Some agencies are piloting the draft structure, Maxson said.
Agencies would be wise to use the framework to take inventory of their current workforce's skills and identify gaps, said National Cybersecurity Workforce Structure Strategy Director Angie Curry. "We need to develop some best practices for workforce planning," she said.
The lengthy hiring process and discrepancies in compensation across agencies can make it hard to fill cybersecurity vacancies, according to the GAO report.
Hord Tipton, executive director of the certification consortium (ISC)², warned agencies need to look at their recruitment strategies too.
"When you have an economic recession and some high unemployment rates across the world, you have more people flocking to get into a field that pays pretty darn good right now," he said. "Our examinations, trainings and educational courses are at all-time highs at this point."
But, he warned, many candidates aren't capable of the work. Certification programs aren't standardized and may require as little as watching a two-hour course, he said.
Current employees also need training to keep up with the latest threats, he said, adding that 92 percent of cybersecurity errors last year could have been prevented by simple controls.
"If you look at all of the breeches that we had over the past year, practically every one of them had a human error that opened the front door and served as the weak link," he said.

-He stated today that the team holding him out a week is a precaution and he anticipates being out only a week to 10 days.
-When has he stated he's unhappy here? Unhappy with losing? Sure. But unhappy here in LA? Nothing to base that on.
Your statement is categorically wrong on a few levels.

The mission of the Advanced Fetal Care Center (AFCC) is to provide the finest diagnosis, ongoing screening and care for a mother carrying a baby with a confirmed or suspected congenital anomaly. For these families, our center offers entry to a continuum of care and support that extends throughout childhood--from prenatal diagnosis and counseling, through treatment and long-term follow-up. On rare occasions, our team will recommend and perform intervention during fetal life. For example, we partner closely with our consultants in the Fetal Cardiology Program to correct or prevent defects of the fetal heart in utero. Our physicians, who represent all pediatric subspecialty areas, work with a wide range of babies with anomalies. Together, they have developed ground-breaking procedures in fetal medicine and surgery. Call 1-866-FETALCARE (1-866-338-2522) to speak with a member of our team.
From National Public Radio
AFCC co-director and cardiology Wayne Tworetzkty, MD explains a stunning, and stunningly precise, fetal intervention: one designed to help a heart on the road to a hypoplastic left ventricle take a turn for the better.
The mission of the AFCC is to provide the finest diagnosis, ongoing screening and care and for a woman carrying a baby with a confirmed or suspected congenital anomaly -- from the prenatal period through childhood. Explore this site to see how we are achieving that mission, or download our fact sheet.
The Advanced Fetal Care Center (AFCC) of Boston Children's Hospital was founded in 2000 by Russell Jennings, MD, with Luanne Nemes, RN, MS, PNP, to treat the fetus with life-threatening congenital anomalies. Since its inception, thousands of pregnant women have been referred to the AFCC for diagnostic studies, counseling, treatment and care when a fetal anomaly is suspected or diagnosed.
Few centers offer the depth and breadth of expertise found at Children's. The AFCC is one of just a handful of comprehensive fetal care centers in the United States. Through ground-breaking procedures and a commitment to the best in pediatric care, the center is rewriting what's possible in fetal medicine and surgery with their staff of specialists, representing more than 20 specialty areas.
Few centers offer the breadth and depth of expertise found at the AFCC.
AFCC services are overseen and coordinated by a core team of fetal and pediatric experts. As each case requires, the team brings on additional specialists across disciplines including anesthesia, cardiology, general surgery, genetics, neonatology, neurology, neuroradiology, neurosurgery, nursing, orthopedics, otolaryngology, patient services, plastic surgery, radiology and urology. The specialists are experts in pediatric care and provide information to parents on what to expect after delivery regarding surgery, hospitalization, and long-term outcomes.
This multidisciplinary approach ensures a fully coordinated care plan, one that is built on the collaborative involvement of Children's pediatric experts and on-going communication with the patient and primary obstetric team.
The AFCC works in close collaboration with the Harvard consortium of hospitals, including Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Brigham and Women's Hospital, along with many local and non-local obstetricians.
Each week, the AFCC holds a conference attended by more than 80 health care professionals from across disciplines -- obstetrics, neonatology, radiology, pediatric specialties, nursing, and genetic counseling -- where cases are presented to discuss their management, treatment options, and outcomes.
Children's is continuing to advance what's possible in fetal medicine. Through the joint work of researchers, genetic specialists, surgeons, and other care providers, the Advanced Fetal Care Center is breaking new ground in the understanding of fetal anomalies, with the goals of early detection and treatment.
The future of pediatrics will be forged by thinking differently, breaking paradigms and joining together in a shared vision of tackling the toughest challenges before us."

- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.
My favorite resolution for the new year:
I am simply astonished that WUXGA (1920x1200) isn't on the list. Come on, people. Are we nerds here or not?
It's hard to tell from the options (although this [wikipedia.org] is helpful in deciphering them), but my other favourite resolution, 1440x900 isn't there either. I guess no one is buying 16:10 monitors anymore...
Not many offers a 16:10 monitor, that's a problem, and even fewer offers 4:3 monitors. Monitors today seems to be dictated by TV size rather than being practical.
I guess no one is buying 16:10 monitors anymore.
Do you really care directly about aspect ratio and if so why?
Personally I don't really care about aspect ratio per-se, what I really care about is how many pixels of height (and to a lesser extent width but width only counts as a tiebreaker) i'm getting. The minimums I consider acceptable are 1024x768 for a laptop, 1280x1024 for a secondary desktop and 1600x1200 for a primary desktop.
The last monitor I bought (pretty recently) was a nice 1920x1200 one and if I had to buy another main monitor for a main desk
That 1920x1200 monitor you got is a nice 16:10 model
The reason the aspect matters is that average vertical resolutions have been cut because panels are all built around HDTV resolutions these days. I also have a 1920x1200 (24") monitor and it was quite find to hard one at this size, almost all the available ones only had 1080 lines.
Seconded. Although I am not nerd enough, because I had no clue what my resolution denominator was. Now, when someone asks me about my desktop resolution, I'll act smug and say "WUXGA, motherfucker!". That WILL help improve my intra-office relationship.
I was only vaguely aware there were names for resolutions beyond XGA. I also have WUXGA (bitch!) - as a photo geek, the 1.6 aspect ratio is about as close as I can get to the 1.5 of dSLRs (and 35mm film cameras). A pity nobody makes 1920 x 1280 (1.5), though there now seem to be tablets with this resolution.
Also missing: FHD (1920x1080). The list is missing the two most common monitor resolutions.
Yeah, FHD here too. It's nice to be able to watch blur-ay movies on the laptop, or hook it up with HDMI to pretty much any modern TV without changing resolutions.

I'm running 1400x1050 (SXGA+) at work on a 21" Viewsonic, and 1920x1440 on whatever 23" monitor I have at home, a Samsung I think.
I actually like 4:3 monitors most of the time. Toolbars do not drown out the content on the screen at this aspect ratio. And at home, since my monitor is 1920 wide, I still get all of the resolution of a "high definition" image, along with 4:3 content filling full-frame.
I'm actually a little disappointed that my Epson Home Cinema 8350 projector doesn't do 4:3 full-frame.
My solution for wide screen monitors is just to place the task bar on the side of the monitor. That way you basically end up with a 4:3 monitor and don't compromise so much vertical space. For anything other than watching movies, 4:3 actually works a lot better. Sure wide screens allow 2 windows open side by side, but multiple 4:3 monitors enable that much better.
Back in 2000 when Xinerama appeared in the X11R6, I had three 17" tubes set up that way at 3840x1024 total. It looked really cool with a Matrix-inspired screensaver going...
I am simply astonished that WUXGA (1920x1200) isn't on the list. Come on, people. Are we nerds here or not?
WUXGA x2 for dual head. Nobody can get by with just one monitor anymore.
If you make it large enough, most people will be happy with a single monitor. I'm a sucker for high resolutions and tend to be very wasteful with screen estate, yet just last week put one screen of my triple head setup (30" 2560x1600, flanked with 20" 1200x1600 in portrait mode on each side) into storage and rarely turn on the remaining 20" screen. 30" and WQXGA will do fine for most purposes.
My 30" Dell IPS suffices just fine for a single monitor. I find it more useable than my laptop monitor plus 21" external monitor at work.

It's because they use their monitors for things other than watching movies. For some, watching movies isn't even an important use of their computer. I know, hard to understand. Some people actually like to compose documents, program, surf the web and they are actually willing to put up with little black bars on the screen when watching videos if it will make the other tasks more productive. Weird.
None of that is hindered by not having a 4:3 monitor.
There are these things called "windows". Perhaps you've heard of them?
It's not the aspect ratio (I personally prefer widescreen) but the number of pixels. The weird thing about those "windows" you mention is that you can get more of them on the screen the higher the resolution. Personally, dual 2560x1440 is nice and works fine for video

Also, as others commented, they should have realised that true geeks would have spotted that they missed out the relatively common 1920x1080 resolution altogether.

Okay, I know 1920x1200 8:5 (16:10) displays "lost" once everyone was tricked into drooling over "HD picture size zomg!", but damnit, I really don't feel right buying a NEW, supposedly top-of-the-line monitor that has worse resolution than my laptop from eight or so years ago in college. Sadly, my choices are dwindling...
This is the right resolution, not this stupid 1920x1080.
It's 120 vertical lines of resolution. Personally, I don't think that's too bad. Plus, I watch a lot of media and don't like black bars. Especially in the dark, it's distracting as the back-light bleeds through.
That's all well and good if all you use your computer for is media consumption, but I use my computer to do work. My workstation has a 1920x1200 monitor. My TV is 1920x1080. I don't want to use a TV for my monitor.
I was in agreement with you when the affordable choices were 1280x800 or 1366x768. The way most UIs are structured 768 vertical lines is rather limiting.
At 1920x1080 though I feel I have about as much screen real-estate as I can make comfortable use of on a single display. Text and widgets are just to tiny on a monitor much smaller than 20" and beyond 23" I find I am physically turning my head to see everything or sitting so far back its all to tiny to use again. 1080 vertical lines is about the limit of

It bothers me that the resolution is called "WQHD", though. Not because the acronym is weird or hard to remember, but because anything that wants to call itself "widescreen quad high definition" should have a *really* good resolution... but for some reason, 1280x720 is technically considered

Depends on the product. I also make embedded electronic devices and LCDs have the advantage of requiring a lot less power than LEDs while being able to convey a great deal more information. The choice is more about the space needed for an LCD vs. LED and the need to be viewable under various lighting conditions.

The poll is for number of pixels on the screen, not resolution. That would have had a linear relationship to resolution if we were still using 14" CRT monitors that needed as much desk space as was available on a typical desk. These days, screens are flat, need a lot less desk space and come in many different sizes and resolutions.
Resolution is measured in Pixels per Inch.
I think that for most desktop apps on Windows and Linux, about 104 PPI is the sweet spot for a desktop monitor. If programs were more scalable, I wouldn't mind going higher.
As to screen size, a bigger desktop monitor is always better.

Irritated skin is an extremely common skin care concern that typically affects all people at some point in their lives. Sometimes called dermatitis, irritation is a blanket term used to describe skin that is red, puffy and inflamed. Irritated skin may be painful or itchy, and in severe cases, may include lesions. Skin irritation can be acute, meaning that it comes on suddenly, or chronic, meaning that it persists for long periods of time and may develop slowly.
Some type of trigger sets off all types of irritated skin. This trigger may be something external to your body that you come in contact with. In some cases, the irritant or trigger is an actual threat, but in other cases, the substance is harmless to most people, but your body perceives it incorrectly. This is known as an allergic response. Triggers can also occur due to a dysfunction in your immune system that makes your body perceive a threat that is not actually there. This type is considered "auto-immune" irritation.
No matter what the trigger of skin irritation is, the same mechanism in your body produces the symptoms associated with it. When your body perceives a threat, your immune system releases chemicals, including histamine, to respond to it and protect your body. The chemicals increase the amount of blood flow to the affected area, which causes the swelling. As the area fills with blood, redness occurs and you may even notice that your irritated skin feels slightly warmer than the areas around it due to the increased amount of blood in the area. Histamine can also cause your skin to become itchy. Depending on the severity of the irritation, your body may also produce scabs, crusty coverings that make up lesions, to protect the skin from the trigger.
A variety of external triggers can result in skin irritation. Some common culprits include:
Plants with poisonous, harsh or abrasive chemicals on their leaves, such as poison ivy or poison oak
Chemicals in household cleaners, including all-purpose cleaners, window and glass cleaners, drain cleaners, toilet cleaners and dishwashing detergents
Fragrances, enzymes and other ingredients in laundry detergents and fabric softeners
Venom and toxins from insects as well as some harsh chemicals in insect repellents
Chemicals found in depilatory and shaving products and those used in clinical skin care treatments, such as chemical peels
Ingredients in cosmetics, sunscreens and skin care products
Components of bar and body soaps
Dyes and synthetic fibers found in clothing
Prescription and over-the-counter topical medications
Metals in jewelry, such as nickel
Your skin can also develop irritation from exposure to high heat, which occurs when your immune system perceives the overheating occurs on hot and humid days as an external threat.
To properly treat skin irritation, determining the trigger is important; however, in some cases, you may never be able to determine precisely what is to blame for your case of dermatitis, particularly if it is acute and disappears quickly without returning.
When you notice signs of skin irritation, the first important step to take is to think about what you did during the 24 to 48 hours prior to the appearance of the dermatitis. Were you exposed to a chemical or substance that you do not regularly come in contact with? Did you use a new type of makeup or skin care product, wear a new article of clothing or wear something that was washed in a new detergent?
In some cases, irritated skin does not appear with the first use of a product. You may need to be repeatedly exposed over a period of days, weeks or even months for the immune response to be triggered. If you cannot isolate a possible cause by thinking back on your activities from the days leading up to the appearance of dermatitis and the irritation persists, you can try to discover the trigger by eliminating items that may be to blame.
Stop using possible trigger items one at a time and look for changes in your condition. You'll want to select what items you eliminate based upon where the irritation is occurring. For example, if the rash is on your face, you would eliminate cosmetics, cleansers, moisturizers and skin care treatments one by one.
If you cannot uncover the source of your chronic skin irritation, your doctor may be able to help through physical examinations and collecting skin samples to study under a microscope.
In cases of mild, acute skin irritation, you may be able to care for the condition at home by alleviating your symptoms until the dermatitis clears up. Taking cool baths can make itchiness less severe as can cool, wet compresses applied directly to the skin. Applying a 1 percent hydrocortisone cream, a product available without a prescription, can help suppress the activity of your immune system and alleviate your symptoms temporarily.
Clinical studies have found that the use of rice bran can help alleviate some forms of dermatitis. Rice bran oil is available from some health food stores and natural medicinal suppliers. This oil can be applied directly to the rash with a cotton ball or swab. Alternatively, you can make rice bran broth by boiling bran in a pot of water for 30 minutes. Drain the bran, discard it and reserve the liquid. Then, chill the liquid in the refrigerator and apply to the skin as you would the oil.
For persistent, severe skin irritation, your doctor may prescribe a topical corticosteroid cream, such as prednisone. These drugs lessen the immune response in the area to which they are applied. Some people cannot use corticosteroid drugs to treat dermatitis because they have a sensitivity to the creams or ointments that causes additional inflammation. When used for long periods of time, corticosteroids can cause your skin to thin; due to this, your doctor will likely prescribe the drug for as long as your symptoms persist and then instruct you to discontinue use. If you have chronic dermatitis that disappears and then returns again, you'll need to begin treatment anew with each flare-up of skin irritation.
For many types of skin irritation, over-the-counter beauty treatments are able to alleviate symptoms and return skin to its usual appearance. A variety of types of products are available to help you deal with irritation.
Treatments are specialized products that usually address a specific cause of skin irritation, such as side effects from beauty treatments or hypersensitivity allergic reactions.
Moisturizers restore hydration to the skin and are useful for treating eczema, a type of skin irritation that is believed to be an autoimmune response tied to skin dryness. A gentle moisturizer can also help alleviate itching and redness in irritated skin.
Masks are leave-on treatments that expose your skin to soothing ingredients for extended periods of time, providing maximum benefits.
Cleansers formulated for sensitive or irritated skin help wipe away impurities to assist in the healing process and can make the return of chronic irritation less likely.
If you suffer from skin sensitivity that causes allergic reactions from a variety of products, look for skin care items and cosmetics that are hypoallergenic. Products that are fragrance free are ideal, as often perfumes are common irritants. Some people are sensitive to parabens, a type of preservative found in some skin care products. Many sensitive skin formulations are paraben or completely preservative free.
When treating irritated skin, there are certain natural ingredients that can soothe inflammation and provide relief from your symptoms. Among these are:
Aloe vera extract, which is obtained from the juice or leaves of a succulent plant and is highly effective at eliminating redness and soothing irritation
Alpha Bisabolol, which is derived from chamomile and is a natural anti-inflammatory
Vitamin B12, a natural nutrient that has been shown in clinical studies to help reduce inflammation associated with dermatitis
Honey, a natural product produced by bees that helps heal skin damage
Cucumber extract, which has a cooling, soothing effect when applied topically
Butcher's Broom extract sourced from an evergreen shrub, which helps alleviate the pooling of blood beneath the surface of the skin by stimulating circulation
Arnica extract, obtained from a flowering herb, which promotes healing

Using coupons, buying generic brands or used products, finding cheaper rates for services and bills, and getting rid of unused subscriptions and memberships are a few among many common ways people conserve cash.
Going green can both help the environment and save significant amounts of money in the process. One way to start with this is moving toward a DIY lifestyle and purchasing fewer products from stores.
There are many ways to adopt a frugal yet sustainable lifestyle. Motorists can save on fuel costs and reduce emissions by carpooling and/or driving an electric or hybrid vehicle. Doing an energy and toxin audit can help homeowners save money on power and water bills, and make their homes cleaner and safer. Recycling old electronics and common household items is also beneficial for the environment, and some sites offer compensation for doing it.
