Women's Volleyball Falls to King University in Conference Play
September 21, 2013
by Paul Horner
BRISTOL, TN - The Pfeiffer University women's volleyball team (2-8, 1-1 Conference Carolinas) dropped a 3-0 decision Saturday afternoon to an impressive King University squad. The final score however, is little indication of how close the match actually was. King University (9-3, 2-0) currently sits atop the Conference Carolinas women's volleyball standings and took advantage of a Lady Falcon squad playing their second conference match in just over 12 hours. Pfeiffer is nearing the end of a 12 game road swing to open the 2013 season and has yet to play in front of their home crowd this year.
Game one of the match started out fairly even, with both teams trading points behind a solid offensive performance by the Lady Falcons. The game began to turn in favor of the Tornadoes following a series of Pfeiffer attack errors, but the Lady Falcons refused to go quietly. Senior Milana Mervosh kept Pfeiffer in game one following back-to-back kills which brought the Lady Falcons within five points of King University's lead. The effort fell short however, and King University took game one 25-14.
Games two and three were the closest of the match with final scores of 25-23 and 25-21 respectively. The second game of the match was about as close it gets, boasting eight ties and four lead changes from start to finish. Neither team led by more than two points in game two. Despite an amazing offensive effort by Brianna Jones who tallied five of her seven total match kills in game two, the Lady Falcons eventually succumbed to the Tornadoes.
Pfeiffer was led in the kill column by Mervosh who put up eight kills for the match. Mervosh has now led Pfeiffer in kills for six straight games, and has compiled 75 kills on the season which amounts to almost 25% of the Lady Falcons' total team kills. On the defensive side of the ball Pfeiffer was led by freshman Haley Denny for the third straight match. Daley finished the match with 14 digs.
The Lady Falcons have three days to rest before they return to action on September 24th when they take on non-conference foe Lenoir-Rhyne at 7 p.m.

Doesn't Iggy have a player option to get paid like $16 mil?
Now I do voice overs. Finally!
Click here for my first voice demo!
Rodney Stuckey is muddled behind Singler for some reason in Detroit ! Oh, btw>> he is a #2, not a point guard ! Perfect fit behind Gordon ! Trade Vazquez, Realease Aminu, Mason & Henry sign CP3, rotate Roberts and Rivers at PG & SG ! Roberts can actually be a suitable 2 ! Great shooter and can create off the ball open shots ! Sign Milsap (Good mid-range shooter & GREAT rebounder) !
CP3-Gordon-AD-Milsap-Lopez--------Anderson--Stuckey--Smith--Roberts/Rivers is a NICE 9 man rotation !

Sign and trade for Brandon Jennings (give up Vasquez and future 1st), trade Lopez for a mid to late 1st rounder, let Aminu walk and sign Corey Brewer or Chase Budinger, draft Alex Len with our pick and CJ Wilcox with the pick in the 20's
Wheres the BIG ? Are you penciling AD as our starting 5 ? He will get clobbered against legit 5's ! Corey Brewer ?????? WHY !? Hes 6'9", 190 ! Averages 2.5 rpg, shoots below 70% ft's ! If Monty wants ANY defense>> He a'int it ! Yo have a 220lb center (AD), a high post #4 (ryno) and a 190 lb. #3 !!! Who in the world are we gonna stop UNDER THE BASKET !?

Not a fan of Brewer, rather go after Budinger.
Find a team stupid enough to take Gordon without sending bad contracts back.
Sing Jefferson or Millsap because I would like to keep Anderson as a 6th man.
I like Jennings and Parsons. Get them two and draft Nerlens
This league is going more and more to what we saw in Lakers/Heat Finals. The Thunders best lineup and their end of game lineup is Durant at the 4 and Ibaka at the 5. Lebron at the 4, Bosh at the 5 for Heat. Celtics put KG at the 5, and on and on- that is the way NBA is heading.
Lopez is great in the regular season, but I only think big picture. Can this guy succeed in the playoffs when he is playing against an elite team that knows his tendencies and weaknesses every night? I say no to that question w/ Lopez. Alex Len is a 7 foot 1 center that has fantastic agility, will be able to play in the pick and roll on both ends. And while Davis is not a center now, he is bigger than Dwight Howard was at the same age and has broad shoulders. He will be at least as big as Howard is now, if not bigger, and nobody questions whether or not Howard is a true center.
As for Brewer over Aminu, I summed it up in this week's piece- feel free to read. Bottom line, he is a better defender and can swing over to the 2 if needed. Aminu can swing to the 4, a position we are already stacked at. Budinger would be choice 1B
dat a boy ! Lets play D'antoniBall ! Jennings is a savior ! If this is a JOKE that you are telling ? If so >> it's funny ! If you are Serious, well, its still funny ! Just a bit scary that not having any Defense doesnt concern you .
Sign 2 of those guys + lottery pick and we are set.
I respect your opinion, But Howard was 1 1/2 inches taller than Davis ! He was also 6'10" as a soph in High School and was already playing the Center position . I wouldnt compare anyone to being better than Aminu . Aminu is not very good . If he is a benchmark as to who we are gunning for, we are in trouble . MW wants defense, Brewer will not rebound and will be pushed around . If Gordon stays, Brewer will never play the #2 . Len is a BIG TIME project . Wont be ready for years. & 7'1" 225 . hes 20 years old and has to put on at least 35 lbs at 7'1" . To have a College developmental project try to learn behind a 6'10" 220 lb. natural #4 doesnt seem fruitful . I am all for tall, lean and athletic POST and BASELINES, but not when there combined weight is 620lbs & your tallest player is 6'10" (and very YOUNG) . Its not the concept i disagree with. Its the player choice . Brewer is an average player at best and not a starter on a team that wants to be playoff caliber . Lopez is also young and still learning, but he is already 260lbs. He is finally healthy after two years of moderate knee injuries in phx. If you want to start AD at center, OK, but Lopez should be the back-up and Smith can move back to his natural stretch 4 position .
Howard 6'11" (270)--Duncan 7'0(270)--Cousins6'11"1/2 (265)---Asik 7'1" (255)---Al Jefferson 6'10"1/2 (290)--Leonard 7'0(275)---Pekovic6"11" (290)---Koufos 6'11"(265)&Mcgee 7'0 (255) M.Gasol 7'1" (280)--Kaman 6'11" (268)---Jordan 6'11"(265) ---Dalembert 6'11" (250) Drummond 7'1" (285)& Monroe 6'11" (255)---Hibbert 7'2"(280)---Varejao 6'11" (258)---Bynum 7'1" (285)---Chandler 7'1" (265)--B.

Debug logging
BTM ships with SLF4J which is a logging facade much like Apache Commons Logging but it's safe to use in application servers unlike Commons Logging which suffers from complex class loading issues.
Much like Commons Logging, SLF4J can hand the log requests to many different implementations including the 2 most common ones: JDK 1.4 and Log4J.
By default, BTM is shipped with slf4j-jdk14.jar which is the the JSR 047 logging API (aka JDK 1.4 logging) wrapper. If you want to use another logger, simply delete the slf4j-jdk14.jar file and replace it with any one from this list:
- slf4j-jdk14.jar for JSR 047 logging.
- slf4j-log4j12.jar for Apache Log4J 1.2.x.
- slf4j-log4j13.jar for Apache Log4J 1.3.x.
- slf4j-nop.jar for no logging (logs are silently dropped).
- slf4j-simple.jar for simple
Those JARs come from the 1.0.2 distribution of SLF4J.

The Burlington Downtown Farmers Market will kick off its second season of fresh produce, dairy, baked goods and other local fare in a new way come April.
How about a herd of food trucks?
April 6 will be the first Saturday the farmers market will be open this season, and it will also be the first time Burlington's had its own "food truck rodeo." A regular event in larger cities like Raleigh and Durham, the dining experience is quickly taking over Greensboro, and some of the city's regulars want to share the wealth with Burlington.
Christiana Kernodle, a farmers market board member, said, "One of our board members is a food truck guy," referring to Micah Martello, owner of the King Creole food truck that came to downtown Burlington in November. "He's got a lot of buddies that are in this business."
Martello's buddies are all part of the Central Carolina Food Truck Alliance, which spawned from a two-month food truck pilot program and feasibility study the city of Greensboro held last year. The group has already gathered at the Earth Fare supermarket in Greensboro, and has two more planned for the city, in addition to regularly setting up shop in the downtown areas of Greensboro, Durham and Raleigh.
Samuel Shumaker, president of CCFTA and owner of The Great Escape food truck, said the food truck culture is already well-established in Raleigh and Durham, and Greensboro's still pretty new to the scene.
Adding Burlington to the mix would be a big bonus.
"It's slowly taking on," Martello said.
Since Martello started rolling through Burlington in November, selling Louisiana-style jambalaya, pork sauce piquant, and red beans and rice, he's developed a following.
"I'm pretty darn busy," he said.
The rest of the food truck owners are hoping to draw a crowd in April, too, and customers should have a wide range of cuisine to sample.
The Great Escape serves Thai-style noodle dishes, and both savory and sweet crepes. Shumaker said he and the business' other two owners all enjoy fusion food and decided to serve what they love.
"There's a lot you can do with a noodle, and there's a lot you can do with a crepe," Shumaker said. "We can serve you dinner and dessert at the same time."
My Dream Cakes, owned by Gail Bell, is also planning to be at the farmers market, serving up cupcakes. Bell said her best-selling flavors are strawberry cream cake, banana pudding poundcake and stuffed pineapple cupcakes.
Bell's also created a "Carolina Blue Velvet" cupcake, which is a white vanilla-based cake with a touch of blue.
"We've got (the) ACC (tournament) coming," she said.
Bandito Burrito and Captain Pancho's Tacos will be serving up the Mexican flavors. Carolina Escobar, owner of Captain Pancho's, serves tacos, burritos, quesadillas and enchiladas and she makes everything from scratch — "from the beans to the rice."
Nicholas Benshoff, owner of Bandito Burrito, works full time at a Greensboro restaurant and runs his food truck on weekends and any other time he can. Benshoff serves baja-style tacos and burritos, with fresh salsa and toppings made in the truck.
Martin Campbell's parents own a restaurant in Red Springs called Marty's BBQ, and he's started a food truck with the same name, serving barbecue, homemade burgers, steak and cheese or chicken subs, pork chop sandwiches and smoked sausage.
Dennis Simerly, owner of Carolina Corn Roasters, is still thinking about bringing his roaster to the farmers market. If he does, Simerly will be roasting corn on the cob, baked potatoes and baked sweet potatoes.
"That's all I do, is vegetables," he said. "I serve it right off the back of the corn roaster."
Taste all the flavors at the Burlington Downtown Farmers Market on Saturday, April 6, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the parking lot behind Company Shops Market at 268 East Front St., Burlington.
Check out the food trucks of the Central Carolina Food Truck Alliance and any upcoming events on their Facebook page.

Anyone noticing that Tinsley runs the team better than Mo?
Anyone noticing that Tinsley runs the team better than Mo?
About 90% if their promo material has Favors, Hayward, Burks and they hardly play.
Disconnect somewhere?
Our bench wastes no time in cleaning up the mess the starters made.
It's peanut butter Jimmer time!!!
Mo now in with the young guns...
I cant tell you how proud it makes me that the crowd boos Jimner.
Good to know ESA isnt becoming over run by dorks.
Favors just overpowers Thomas Robinson. I thought Robinson was a bit stronger than that.
this is not a pretty game. sloppy play and turnovers on both sides.
Not the best offense from the bench but I'm okay with it - they still brought us back from a 10 point deficit.
I wish this Steve Brown guy would actually say what the calls are instead of just "Whistle and turnover on the Jazz".
Uh oh, Harpring just said Cousins has no vision.
Think there'll be an altercation after the game?

Southgate Beef Stew
5 comments:
Every single guy needs a few cans of beef stew in his cupboard. For me it was Dinty Moore, way back when they still made Meatball Stew. I loved it, good bad or indifferent. Plop it in a pan and heat it up. I'm glad this brand seems to carry the same flag to battle. Bachelors take note.

Funny - if I didn't know better I'd say that photo looks like ma po dofu.
- 09 December, 2010 13:29
Y'know.. even though I don't eat meat, this can has become very familiar to me in a household setting. Maybe I saw it at my mother's or brother's.. Anyway, great post. Hope you hear from Choice Foods soon!
I ♥ Dollar Tree!

out here in Oklahoma we have a chain called Food Pyramid, which broke off from the larger regional chain Albertson's. They have a one dollar aisle where they have a variety of Southgate canned soups and stews. I haven't tried much of their product, but they have a corned beef hash that my wife liked and a Chili that's quite decent. (we joked about dying from the contents of the can, being fatal, as we'd gotten it out of a marked down bin when it was already a dollar.) My favorite cheap chili is still Wolf brand, but Southgate wasn't a bad alternative and is cheap as dirt.

hey Eric M me and my family are from Tulsa as well. Which Food Pyramid did you see this product at??? My daughter loves it and I cant find it anywhere. Thanks!!

What are bunions?
UPDATED 3:01 PM EST Feb 28, 2013
Do you have a bony bump on your toe that you just don't know what it is? It may be a bunion.
According to the Mayo Clinic, a bunion is a bony bump on the joint at the base of your big toe. The hospital says these form when your big toe pushes up against your other toes, forcing your joint to move in the opposite direction.
The Mayo Clinic says that over time this may become painful as the joint enlarges and there is crowding around your other toes.
According to the Mayo Clinic, bunions can form from wearing shoes that are too small, or they can also be the result of other inherited conditions.

Scientific Societies and Organizations Oppose Santorum Amendment
Representatives of nearly one hundred scientific societies and organizations have signed a letter asking Congress not to adopt the "Santorum Amendment" as part of the revised Elementary and Secondary Education Act now under consideration. The letter asks the House-Senate conference committee to remove a Senate resolution, sponsored by Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, which singles out evolution as a controversial theory.
ICR Compares Terrorist Attacks to PBS Series Evolution
After the events of September 11th, many things in life that held so much significance paled against the loss in New York City, Washington D.C., and in a field in Pennsylvania. All Americans felt they had come face to face with an incomprehensible evil, and indeed it seem to have struck at the very heart of each of us.
Press Release: Creationists Wrong Again
Once again, the creationists have blundered when it comes to science, this time presenting misinformation about the universality of the genetic code.
Board Challenged on Teacher Reprimand
On August 13, 2001 the Lafayette School Corporation board was asked by a Jefferson High School chemistry teacher to remove a formal reprimand placed in his personnel file by the district's superintendent last September. The reprimand accused the teacher "of teaching religion through creationism in a classroom setting" according to a Lafayette Journal and Courier account.
Board Members Oppose Evolution in Textbook
On July 30, 2001 the North Branch school district board voted 4-3 to adopt an environmental science textbook which had been opposed by two board members because it doesn't mention creationism as an explanation of life and it doesn't refer to evolution as only a "theory". Review and debate about evolution began in June when the board's decision on possible texts was delayed because of objections to evolution. If the board hadn't chosen a book at their last meeting, the school year would have begun without an approved text.

Peter AltremWhat Kind of Spoiler is Right for You?
A spoiler is intended to control the way the air streaming over the car is affecting the rear of the vehicle. Spoilers cause drag, and actually slow the car down or make it unstable, if not properly designed. A correctly designed spoiler can counteract the lifting forces that most cars experience when speeds get high, and keep the car on the road.

Gallery: PHOTOS: Inside the Hearst Tower, New York City's First LEED Go...
With the design of the Hearst Tower, Foster creates a fun and intriguing interplay between modern architecture and a historical building. He made spectacular use of light and space, creating a gleaming glass tower atop the building's original stone base, designed by Joseph Urban. Construction on the original Hearst building began back in 1926, and the six-story structure was completed in 1928. It was always the intention that a tower would rise from the structure, but because of the Great Depression and World War II, it never got built. The building was landmarked in 1988, but the addition of the current 46-story tower was approved because the building's original plans called for a tower. Foster gutted the interior of the old building to create a soaring six-story atrium while maintaining the historic facade. Nearly 85 percent of the removed materials were recycled for future use.
The green stats and features of the building are impressive, to say the least. It consumes 26 percent less energy than a traditionally built structure, and there is a rainwater collection system on the roof, which annually diverts 1.7 million gallons of water from becoming runoff waste. The lighting is controlled by sensors, automatically adjusting to the amount of daylight. A whopping 90 percent of the structural steel used in the tower is recycled, and the diagonal-grid structural design improves efficiency. Instead of the traditional vertical steel beams on that you see on the exteriors of skyscrapers, the Hearst Tower uses four-story triangular frames. This eliminated the need for about 2,000 tons of additional steel, and kept the interior spaces open and light-filled.
When you enter the building, you're welcomed by the calming sound of cascading water, courtesy of Icefall, a 3-story installation that flows beside the escalators. Not only does the display make for a gorgeous lobby, but it helps to cool the space in the summer and humidify the air in the winter. The circulating water is filter rainwater from the rooftop cachement system. "It's sort of a zen moment when you walk in the door on Monday morning," said our tour guide. "You feel like, 'Ugh, I have to go to work,' then you come in and it's very calming and peaceful."
At the top of the escalators, you're greeted by "Riverlines," another beautiful piece of green art. The 70-foot fresco, created by environmental artist Richard Long, features columns of swirling taupe handprints made with mud from the Hudson River, as well as the Avon River in England, Long's homeland. (It reminded Kestrel of the finger pudding paintings she made as a kid!)
The floor plans of the offices, home to all Hearst magazines, suffer from the seated cubicle-farm arrangement — at Inhabitat, we love our standing desks! — but they do have ample amounts of daylight. An open floor plan and wrap-around windows allow every desk to have access to natural light. Low-vapor paint was used on the walls and all office furniture is formaldehyde free. The floors and ceiling tiles are made with recycled materials.
The 29th Floor of the Hearst Tower is home to the Good Housekeeping Research Institute, where Good Housekeeping magazine evaluates thousands of products every year. Chemists, scientists, engineers, and a slew of other professionals don their white coats to diligently test everything from face cream and packaged snacks to car seats and vacuum cleaners to see which ones are worthy of the Good Housekeeping Seal. In fact, the labs are home to one of only two vacuum cleaner testing machines in the entire world. There's also the test kitchen, where professional chefs spend their days whipping up new recipes for the magazine and cookbooks, like Simple Vegan (yes readers, we were cheering inside when we spotted a vegan cookbook in the window of the Good Housekeeping kitchen.) Thanks to an open design and glass walls, visitors can watch all the testing take place.
One of the most impressive spaces in the Hearst Tower is the events space on the 44th floor. The enormous floor-to-ceiling windows offer spectacular views of midtown and downtown Manhattan. The design shows off the building's triangular steel framework, and the movable walls allow for a flexible space that can accommodate everything from an evening cocktail party to in-house conferences.
The building's green features even extend to the employee eating area, Cafe57 in the atrium. The 380-seat cafe offers a local, organic menu that changes daily, plus an organic salad bar. The day Inhabitat toured, the specials were Moroccan-theme, and everything smelled delicious. All of the food is cooked on site, and there is always a vegan option. A variety of healthy grab-and-go snacks, like protein bars, all-natural granola, and fruit, are also offered.
Hearst has become a sustainability leader in the publishing industry, not only thanks to its green building, but also the programs that the corporation implements. In 2004, Hearst founded the Hearst Sustainable Forest Initiative to encourage its paper suppliers to improve the sustainability of the fiber they use. Five years after starting the initiative, Hearst's percentage of paper made with certified fiber had risen from 38 to 75 percent.
From the peaceful lobby to the light-filled offices, the Hearst Tower makes for a beautiful and encouraging work place. If all office buildings were built with the same eco-friendly elements and open design, employee productivity would soar. And if we could just get standing desks to be more widely accepted, all offices would be Inhabitat-approved!

It is excellent. I find it has a lot in common with the also excellent Encre Noir, but where I think Wonderwood distinguishes itself is in the dry-down.
Thread: CdG wonderwood
This is probably my next purchase if TM's PH doesn't go through. What do you guys think of it? Describe what it might smell like to a non-experienced nose?

I don't know, but if you're considering getting another CDG fragrance, order it from Hervia and you'll save a good chunk of change. I just got Hinoki and 2 man. Have not tried Wonderwood as of yet though....
Very synthetic-woody with a textural, slightly hissy cedar/sandalwood dry down. I liked it but not enough to own a full bottle.

-- Eckhart Tolle
Tried it. It's a very nice scent.
I found this one extraordinarily loud! For some reason it projected as much as the only other sample I ever had to double-bag: Kouros.
It's one of my favorites. Definitely top 3.

I am
I like the oud note in this one.
I'm a huge Comme Des Garcons fan but I find Wonderwood to be among their least interesting compositions. Smells nice but whatever you're looking for (sandalwood, oud, woods), there are better options out there. Basically it's CDG for people who actually don't like CDG.
Discover my Guest Reviewer Of The Day here
Wonderwood by Comme des Garcons - Welcome to the wide world of woods! The interesting opening is a dank, forest tree scent, supplied by the melange of warm sandalwood, hints of zesty bergamot and anise-like, caraway seeds, earthy vetiver and creamy guaic wood. This impressive concoction is reminescent of a felled tree in a rain forest, with the attendant damp and green environs. Transitioning to the waiting middle, spicy pepper, ghosts of apple, plum and floral fruitiness from the cristalin, musky powder from the cashmeran, and savory incense enhance the woody brew. The awesome drydown with its rich cedar and enchanting agarwood tug at this lively heart, and is augmented by a charming patchouli, faintly bathing the cedar and oud in an air of mustiness, and a refreshing, dry cypress, with its hint of spiciness, exalting the pleasing, woody base. This high quality and exceptional composition has good projection, after some 4 hours becoming a skin scent, and excellent longevity.
A very nice fragrance. Take Tam Dao, mix it with Encre Noir and you have Wonderwood.
For me W is a very well put together synth-woody fragrance that I find boring.
I much prefer oddball scent anyway, especially from Comme.
Plenty of people love it though, so if you love it you should get it.
I only tried one wearing of Wonderwood so far. Initial impression was that it was nice, woody, but yes synthetic and also a fairly safe scent. It did not have any stand out character. It did saturate the entire room I was in, when I applied only a small amount, with it's smell. To me projection like that is unnecessary and overbearing. Wonderwood and Aventus both shared this effect, which my wife noticed and commented negatively on.
Don't buy it. This fragrance made of synthetic notes.
I wore it a few times while trying to decide if it was worth purchasing a decant or full bottle. I actually find this scent to be the most abrasive, sharp woody fragrance that I have come across. I think that Tam Dao is where you should be looking if you are interested in a woody fragrance. Or if you want something with a little more going on in the composition go with Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier Santal Noble.
My current top ten:
1. Spice and Wood
2. Tonka Imperiale
3. Dior Homme
4. Pure Malt
5. Oud Wood
6. Ambre Nuit
7. L'air Du Desert Marocain
8. Noir de Noir
9. Apple Brandy
10.Straight to Heaven
I just picked up a 100ml's of the Wonderwood and totally dig it. I agree that for the CdG line it's a lil' plain jane, but I think it's a great woody frag and I luv it's versatility.
It didn't wow me, but it also didn't disappoint.
I am sure that this would make one hell of a Shower Gel or candle.
"All problems are illusions of the mind."
-- Eckhart Tolle
Its synthetic but pleasant for the sharp wood lovers. On my skin however the longevity is average and projection is mediocre.
Starts of Very woody, but later descends into this beautiful Mysore sandalwood drydown, I highly recommend this scent! Longevity is 12 hours on my skin, sillage is moderate to a skin scent
wood and spice, very nice, very light , something in stile of gucci ph..... not so great longetivity on me, but my skin is wierd
A wonderful and manly perfume. Try before.
It's a really great fragrance. If you like wood, check it out!
Can anyone speak to how Wonderwood performs year round, particularly in the spring and summer. I just purchased it blindly and would love to know your thoughts. Thanks in advanced.
sandalwood is good all year round, this is primarily a sandalwood fragrance after an hour or so. Great all your round !
I like this one a lot. Not the best sandalwood out there, but very nice. One of CdG's 3 best fragrances IMO.
I love the stuff. I think it works year round, I would just go lighter on the trigger for the hotter months as it could get pretty cloying in the heat if you spray too much. My parents are moving to Hawaii today and my dad took his Wonderwood with him and it'll work great for him.
CDG fan since 05. Wonderwood reminds of their energy series. Every time I tried it I was looking at the bottle couldn't believe it's actually CDG.
Sandalwhat? It's 100% synth there is not a drop of sandalwood oil there
It has a mysore sandalwood accord, like most sandalwood fragrances do ( Rush, Pal Zileri ). Some do use Australian sandalwood, but they are still amped with synthetic santalol. Santalol is what gives mysore sandalwood its smell. I actually own a tola of Sandalwood Attar which a friend bought from Bangalore, they are pretty similar in smell. I paid 70 dollars for 10 ml , and your getting 100 ml for 120 bucks.
All CDG fragrances are synthetic, but most are well constructed.
It's not even about the price. I'm a CDG fan not just perfume line. It's shockingly commercial to me. All I got was strong green cedar with vetiver and pepper.
The Cedar and ISO-e are in the top and mid notes, but for most of its longevity on most people, it turns into a creamy Sandalwood scent. If you go on fragrantica most do compare it to Rush, the Gucci sandalwood masterpiece. I did not find it commerical at all, as in today's market finding a fragrance which utilizes the Mysore sandalwood accord is increasingly rare.

Will try to get a sample of this. Sounds pretty good.
This scent does not have the best top notes, and I think lot of people naturally do dismiss it because of that, but once the drydown reveals itself, its truly an enjoyable and wonderful fragrance. The plus side is, for anyone craving Gucci Rush, this is a great replacement.
It has a sweetness that throws me. I can imagine it being somewhat cloying in hot weather.
same vibe of amazing green utterly synthetic
I like it, but this is the only fragrance that a co-worker hated enough to call me out on it and requested not to wear again in the office.
Got a sample of this recently and wearing it today.
Bit disappointed overall, quite nice, nothing special and far weaker on me than CdG 2 Man, which I absolutely love. Almost bought this a couple of times based on a quick sniff and small spray when sampling other things but at the moment I'm glad I didn't.

"We are home safe and sound from the best vacation I can remember. It seemed seamless to us but I know that you worked very hard to make our experience so good.
The guides and drivers were always punctual and reliable. They were very knowledgeable, personable, and funny. They provided us with very helpful information and helped us work on expanding our Spanish. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful and the rooms were very nice.
I especially appreciate our ability to update our plans while we were in Costa Rica. The zip lines were the highlight of our trip. I hate to think we almost missed out by not including it in our original plan.
You have made a friend and supporter for life. I will certainly recommend you to anyone I know going to Costa Rica.

I loved having personal drivers and guides, as well as many inclusive meals. We will definitely use this company for future travels."

"Our Costa Rica trip was amazing. The whole family thinks its the best we've ever taken! Kensington did an excellent job of organizing everything. The two hotels they picked were amazing.
Arenal -- The Springs Resort & Spa was almost too good since as soon as the family saw it they wanted to cancel activities so they could take full advantage of all it offered. We ultimately did cancel the safari to give us a free day to spend a day at the spa, pools and Club Rio (riding the river in innertubes!). The activities Kensington setup were excellent and very adventurous. Our favorite was canyoneering (repelling), We were all terrified at the first drop-off! It's more thrilling the zip lining (also lots of fun) and river rafting (a blast as well).
Manuel Antonio -- The Preserve at Los Altos was very nice. It was like staying in a 3 bedroom apartment at a boutique hotel (same feel as Athenum in London but nicer). The drive to get there was a bit long but worth it when our driver made a surprise stop at the the "crodillio bridge". The tour through Manuel Antonio National Park is a must do for nature lovers (3 types of monkeys, sloths, etc). Our guide was excellent. If you go MA NP, try Kapi Kapi for dinner.
I'd highly recommend using Kensington (Brandi was our rep) for a Costa Rica trip. Thanks for hooking us up with them.
Have fun.

"Hi Erika
We returned yesterday from our wonderful Costa Rican vacation and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed it. We loved staying at the El Silencio (the kids would have liked to stay even longer so we could have taken some of the nature hikes). Being surrounded by the cloud forest was an amazing sensation that really helped us to feel that we were in a completely different world and was a perfect way to begin the trip. Maria Lucia was a very kind tour guide and showed us the all sites in a huge day (the waterfalls, Poas volcano, the coffee plantation & Sarchi). The staff at El Silencio was wonderful and Jeff and I very much enjoyed the food and the very elaborate wine tasting there.
In La Fortuna the activities ruled. We loved everything, the exhilarating waterfall rappelling, the zip lining (& tiger swing - the kids LOVED IT) the volcano hike and we had a FANTASTIC time on the river safari with Gerald and his friend Tom. Gerald was a great guide and was able to share many stories while letting us see the wildlife. We saw a spectacular Toucan flock and of course the monkeys were a huge hit. Ending up at the farm was a fun end note to the trip. Of course we enjoyed the hot springs at the Tabacon - they are pretty amazing. Jeff and I had a chance to have a massage at the Tabacon spa and it was spectacular. The service at the hotel was lovely and our room did have a beautiful view of the volcano. I think the hot springs & spa are far superior at the Tabacon.
Alex drove us from both El Silencio to La Fortuna and then from La Fortuna to Punta Islita (that is a lot of driving and he did a great job - he was so friendly and made the travelling very enjoyable). On the way to La Fortuna he made a point of showing us the Iguana restaurant and it was a great wayside stop for everyone.
Punta Islita was stunning. Our villa Ilan Ilan was ideal, the view and the setting were spectacular. The kids loved the pool (when they weren't swimming & playing in the ocean), Jeff loved being able to finally drive around a bit like a native (the villa came with a small 4 wheel car), and I enjoyed waking up every morning to see the sunrise over the cliffs at the ocean's edge, and hear the incredible variety of birds (and on the last day even the howler monkeys). We enjoyed so many of the activities the hotel had to offer. Andrey & Hector and the whole staff were so warm and hospitable. They really worked hard and made every effort to make our stay so much fun. Hector helped us plan some more zip lining, surf lessons, a dolphin sighting/fishing boat trip and a sunset horseback ride which was the perfect way to wrap up the trip.
Ronald picked us up and got us to the airport in plenty of time. Ronald was very interested in showing us the wildlife as we drove through the different areas and we really enjoyed that.
Everywhere we went the people were absolutely wonderful, kind, and proud to show us their country and it made our trip spectacular.
Erika, thank you for all you did to help make the trip such a huge success.

"The transfers went flawlessly; the guides were all superb (knowledgable; thoughtful; sensitive; responsive to our needs). The recommended hotels were, with one exception (see below), also first rate and well matched to our needs and temperaments.
Our thanks for providing 3 wonderful guides: Gary Ortiz (Antigua); Carlos Antonio Lopez (Tikal and Yaxha); and Israel Canto (Belize). All of them understood that we have 'peculiar' tastes (for example: photographing lichen covered tree trunks while the magnificent structures at Tikal were but meters away!). It is really critical that guides not try to make sure that we see every 'important' thing, but recognize instead that 'importance' is very much a personal thing.

JON CARDINELLI watched the Wallabies record their fifth consecutive win against the Springboks with a 26-19 victory on Saturday.
It was bound to happen, it was only a matter of when.
The Boks have suffered their first defeat of the 2012 season, their first under coach Heyneke Meyer. To make matters worse, this inevitable result has been inflicted by one of the worst Wallabies teams in recent history.
There were times during this Test where the Boks were as many as 10 points ahead. The Wallabies were desperately poor in the first half, a series of mindless grubbers and chip kicks contributing to an unforgivable loss of both territory and possession. It was during the first half where the tactical kicking excellence of Ruan Pienaar and Zane Kirchner came to the fore.
There was even an instance were the Boks rounded off a good build up with a try. Granted, they had done their best to butcher this opportunity with flyhalf Morné Steyn neglecting to use an overlap out to the right. They were extremely fortunate that they were able to recycle the ball and score from a subsequent phase.
Indeed, it was a first half where all the luck seemed to go the Boks way. The Wallabies played their part with a shocking performance, but there were many examples of Bok incompetence and indiscipline that went unpunished.
Lock Eben Etzebeth was fortunate to escape censure. At a break in play, experienced No 5 Nathan Sharpe goaded the South African youngster, and Etzebeth responded by headbutting Sharpe. It was an incident that was missed by the officials, and for that the Boks can thank their lucky stars.
But they didn't learn from that incident, as moments later Beast Mtawarira ran into Kurtley Beale off the ball. The Bok prop was shown a yellow card and the visitors spent the final seven minutes of the first half with 14 men.
The Boks survived the period of sanction without conceding a point, but the Wallabies were far more structured and accurate in the second stanza. They attacked the Boks at the breakdown, with Michael Hooper winning several important turnovers, and also began to enjoy more continuity with ball in hand.
Just as the Wallabies began to lift their game, the Bok effort started to flag.
The Boks conceded a soft try in the 56th minute, their defence battling to repress the Wallabies at source and their first-time tackling letting them down in the wider channels.
It was another instant of poor defence that cost the Boks in the 68th minute where Ben Alexander cruised down the left hand touchline. The cover tackle attempt by lock Juandre Kruger was nothing short of pathetic.
Steyn had another forgettable night with boot, missing two drop-goal attempts as well as a penalty. For the umpteenth time, Steyn battled to get the backline going and blew a couple of try-scoring opportunities through poor option taking.
Johan Goosen provided the backline with more direction and posed more of a threat when he was introduced in the final minutes. With Steyn struggling to perform in his primary capacity as a goal kicker, Meyer may finally be forced to consider another option at flyhalf next week.
Saturday marked Meyer's first loss as Bok coach, and defeat will force a rethink to the current formula. With Goosen or even Pat Lambie at 10, the Boks should be able to ask more questions of the opposition defence.
The Boks were excellent in terms of their tactical kicking in the first half, but overall they failed to dominate the collisions and their lack of variation on attack was a major problem.
That they battled to kick all of their goals, not for the first time this year, is another reason why Meyer should revise his selections ahead of the clash against the All Blacks. That their forwards weren't able to overcome a feeble Wallabies eight is also great cause for concern.

I don't recall having smelled Melograno, but I thought Caprifoglio (honeysuckle) was more of a neroli. I very much like Garofano (carnation). Violetta is also very good.
I thought it was about time to explore beyond my usual field of Guerlain ,Caron, gardenias and tuberose ( yeah ,gets abit boring , I am sure ! *LOL* )
So I ordered a decant of Santa Maria Novella Melograno ( okay ..yes, a little influenced by Vesper of James Bond fame ! ) and a sample of Honeysuckle too .
I think there is some love for this old house on the men's side of Basenotes but what about us ladies ?
What do you think of Santa Maria Novella ,their longevity ,their style of perfumes, etc ...in particular Melograno ( as I bought a decant completely unsniffed, bought blind as a bat... )

Thanks 30 Roses- I was hearing an echo here for a while ! *LOL*
Yes, the carnation caught my eye too.
I'm looking forward to something different because my experience with pomegranate is limited to Jo Malone's Pomegranate Noir which I don't like. I hear there's a touch of incense in Melograno so , I'm keeping my fingers crossed !

I realize I didn't comment on longevity. Speaking solely about SMN Garofano, it had significantly greater longevity on my skin than Lorenzo Villoresi Garofano did. Violetta lasted about as long as my other violet perfumes do.

Haven't tried many of them but I have and love Melograno and Nostalgia.

30 Roses- thanks - I am hoping for longevity,on my skin, even if these are 'colognes' .
Tigs- glad to hear it ! I am actually very much looking forward to trying out Santa Maria Novella. I wish I could click my heels and go their shop in London ! Darn !

If you're interested in SMN, I highly recommend giving Magnolia a try! I really love it - I tried it last year in the Deep South on a broiling day, and it has a lovely, lasting mixture of green notes and white flowers. It's not authentically magnolia in the truest sense, but it's a muguet-jasmine accord that's very enjoyable to me!
I'm glad this thread came up, actually. I'd completely forgotten Magnolia until I tried to think of which SMN to recommend you.
They make a Tuberose, but I found it kind of blah - nice but one-note, it's-been-before-and-better tuberose on the soft side. Same with the Muguet.
Nostalgia and Peau d'Espagne are unusual leather fragrances, Nostalgia being cool and petrochemical and Peau dirty and spicy. My mother quite liked Peau, but I didn't. Nostalgia is a fun one to experience, but not something I want to wear.
Mellograno was not my thing - tart, candied pomegranate.
Tobacco Toscano was vanilla with a slight rubbery quality to my nose.
I'd wholeheartedly recommend the wonderful green/floral Ginestra for this time of year. It is allegedly supposed to resemble the scent of Scottish Broom and for me does so pretty accurately. Completely unisex and with decent sillage/longevity to boot- I can't see anyone being disappointed by it.

I own the Epagne in parfum strenght, totally gorgeous leather with a medial note.
I tested some and use with great happiness Melograno (of which i am on the search for a new bottle, at the moment as well) and i like it a lot but i also had one bad experience with "Gold Musk" or (Muschio oro) which i disliked it strongly. It developed harsh and poignant and has an odd musk note whichi couldn't do. Long lasting...! ;-)
But altogether very fine fragrances!
"They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night."
Edgar Allan Poe
The only one I tried is Patchouli and I loved it a lot. Top 3 patchouli for me.
Thanks for the amazing suggestions everyone !
So I have a list of SMN's to try out now.
i also heard good things about Fieno / Hay .
Suga- the magnolia sounds great . Re.melograno - I am not sure if 'tart' is up my street but I am willingto give it a go. The last pomegranate experience was Jo Malone - not a good one to me !
Donna- I didn't know SMNs came in parfum strength !
Haunani - ooh Ginestra ,another one I did think about - I hope I like Melograno - it's completely out of my comfort zone which was the idea , I guess.
For sale. Carnal Flower and Vero Profumo Onda.
I've got their Musk and Santa Maria Novella (also in the directory under Classica). They're both great. I want to get their Pot-pourri and possibly Imperial Lavender too.
Mystic, I haven't been to it but there is a SMN boutique here in L.A. -- do a roadtrip! I don't know any hardcore perfumistas in real life, I'd be happy to meet you there to sniff stuff. Plus, of course, Lucky Scent is practically right next door ...
For sale. Carnal Flower and Vero Profumo Onda.
Scent Bar is on Beverly between La Cienega and Crescent Heights, so yeah, pretty close! And there's Barney's and Saks at Rodeo Drive, so those are both sort of in the area too. And Fred Segal ...
There is a Santa Maria Novella in Beverly Hills - I went there once. It's on the same street as the Marc Jacob boutique(s) and down the street from the Alexander McQueen store. Melrose Place?? Lovely little, ivy-covered storefront. The lady working there the day Ray, I (and Brent - from SmellBent) went there was so helpful, super easy going - she let us smell to our hearts content. The range is so huge, it's a bit overwhelming.
The only one I own is Nostalgia. In addition, I highly recommend Ginestra (just lovely!) and Imperial Lavender (but it might be too mascline for you mystic...maybe not?).
For sale. Carnal Flower and Vero Profumo Onda.
Muschio is absolutely divine. Marescialla is also an interesting one, has a great story attached to it also. I love Santa Maria Novella Cologne, which is said to have been created for Catherine de Medici before she left Florence to marry Henri II Dauphin of France.
Quand on boit l'eau, il faut penser à sa source
Based on my experience with Nostalgia & Melograno, I think SMN has a couple of the "edgiest" scents out there -- which is in contrast to the old world, staid image they might project. I've only tried a few of their fragrances, and I think some probably are very straightforward and conservative though.
Melograno bears no relation to pomegranate, so put that idea out of your head. I wasn't sure if I liked it at all at first, but I couldn't stop thinking about it and sampling it, and I'm actually hosting a split soon. I'll be curious to hear what you finally think of it.
I also recently got a decant of Peau d'Espagne, which is some serious animalic leather. I also have a decant of Fieno/Hay on the way, unsniffed, but it sounds so good to me.
I have Melograno (and had it before Casino Royale - great movie btw) and find it reminds me of Chanel No. 5 (aldehydes?), and SMN Iris is my absolute favorite Iris. I also tried Nostalgia and thought it was too fun!

I love their Caprifoglia, and also their Iris, so unique and beautiful. I intend to try more of them when I can.
For sale. Carnal Flower and Vero Profumo Onda.
Surprised no-one has mentioned Citta di Kyoto - a wonderful incense and iris. Fieno is beautiful too - warm hay with a touch of green and a gentle haze of florals.
Another vote here for Ginestra. A beautiful, soft green fragrance. It's one of my go-to summer scents. Can't imagine summer without it. But then, I've never met a broom fragrance I didn't like.
I'd love to try Melograno; it sounds lovely. Ditto Citta di Kyoto.
What is the best place to by SMN in the U.S. online?
They sound so wonderful.
I would like to try some day...

Primrose, Aedes carries the scents. I know from visiting the store that they carry more of the SMN scents than they list online, so if you don't see what you want, call them and ask.

I love Melograno and Muschio. Will try more.
Anyone tried their Gardenia?
So excited to hear there is a boutique on Melrose!! I have heard they do some great tobacco based fragrances. I wish I would have known they were so close to Scentbar! Guess I have another LA weekend coming up!

I visited the SMN shoop in Florence and was amazed at the beauty of the
place. There are cloisters outside and the shop itself is very grand despite looking
like an ordinary front door to someone's house from the outside!
I bought the Cologna Classica, which I love and then my sister bought me a bottle
of Melograno. It's a STRONG cologne, definitely unisex an I have to be in the mood for it. It is
made from very high quality materials, however.
A woman without perfume is like a flower without a scent.
I was at the shop in Soho, NYC few weeks ago. Love the concept, but struck out with every fragrance.
Dans La Nuit Vers Le Jour Sans Adieu Je Reviens Vers Toi.
I love SMN Vaniglia- my favorite vanilla
Citta di Kyoto reminds me of a fresh updated version of vintage Halston (+1 Iris & Incense as stated by Hilaryjane )
Zagara (orange blossom) is a refreshing summer staple for me!
I'd love to get Ginestra.
I'll guess that they're have the same problem as Aqua Di Parma... just too many in the lineup that it's a daunting task to even start working through the line.
Tom Ford Splits!!!! - Tobacco Vanille, Tuscan Leather, Oud Wood, Noir de Noir - PATCHOULI ABSOLU
Plum Japonais, Italian Cypress, Neroli Portofino, Costa Azzura, Azure Lime, Champacca Absolute
HARD TO FIND - Lavender Palm, Arabian Wood, and AMBER ABSOLUTE, etc...
Most of the time I am very proud of the Basenotes community. Time after time I have witnessed the thoughtfulness, empathy & genuine friendship that members of this community extend to others - oldtimers & newcomers alike. There are other times, however, when egos get the upper hand and civility goes out the window. My philosophy is that I won't say anything here that I would not say if you were standing in front of me. Welcome to Basenotes, each and every one of us. ~ TwoRoads
Haven't posted here in awhile but wore my much neglected Melograno recently. I first encountered SMN when I wandered into a boutique in Venice. I like Iris and Violetta and have tried on Rosa as well. They all last forever on me.
From the ones I have smelled, I liked Peau d'Espagne
I tried the Hay fragrance today and liked it. Reminds me how the northern california hills smell in summer.

|Pat Edwards-Hare - December Employee of the Month
Pat Edwards-Hare is the December 2010 All Children's Hospital Employee of the Month. Pat is the Nutritional Services Clinical Manager and has been with All Children's since 1982. A Department Director recognized Pat's Service Excellence and nominated her for Employee of the Month honors. In summary, the nomination said:
Pat was instrumental in championing a change initiative that was made by a company in response to a safety concern raised by her. It is very common for companies to change product names and labeling in order to boost sales. An issue was identified during a near-miss situation where it was noticed that a new-labeled product could inadvertently lead someone to think the product was something it wasn't and if given to an infant who is allergic to that product could result in an anaphylactic reaction and possibly death, i.e., the potential for a fatal mix up was huge. Pat took immediate action to avoid a potential problem. Pat's actions resulted in the product being immediately removed from our inventory.

The NW Bullets 18-Gold team (based in Portland, Oregon) is only two years removed from finishing 5th at Gold Nationals. We believe we are one pitcher away from contending once again at the National level. Our team has only one Division I pitcher on our roster, which is filled with quality Division I players, and we need at least one more pitcher who desires to compete for a National Championship and get quality innings in the circle.
Whether you are an unsigned pitcher looking for a program that enables you to play at the highest level nationally and to get exposure in the best tournaments in America, or a signed Division I pitcher that has the desire to become better prepared for Division I college play, the Northwest Bullets may be right for you. Our year over year success in preparing players and getting them signed speaks for itself. For a tryout and more information on our program and coaches, as well as to view our past signings, see www.nwbullets.com and contact Dennis Muir at email@example.com
