Please DO NOT include me in the pass but I am just going to say it is very nice of you to host a(nother) sniff! Thank you.
Hello everyone!
I have been looking for a tuberose scent, but had difficult times with the larger than life personality of this voluptuous flower that tends to override any other supporting notes. I wanted to share my experience with three HdP tuberoses that in my opinion are wonderful examples of tuberose done right: tuberose is still a star of the show but shares the stage with other players; and with that, tells more complex and intriguing story. There is little love and recognition given to these three scents on Basenotes for some reason, but they are more than worthy of your attention. Let me just say that when the time came to choose one for my personal collection, I couldn't make my choice. And so I had to get all three - thankfully HdP has very handy half ounce bottles that allow for a better experience without major investment. The pass will include:
Tubereuse 1 - Capricieuse
Iris and leather are two very prominent supporting players that accompany the tuberose until the very end (at least on my skin). Fans of Iris/leather combos might appreciate this one, I most certainly did.
Tubereuse 2 - Virginale
Gorgeous white flower bouquet that is feminine, classy, and strangely fragile. For those who are looking, but not finding big white floral that does not have huge headache and trashy outfit attached to it.
Tubereuse 3 - Animale
Immortelle is most obvious friend of tuberose in this dark and rich composition. Fans of 1740 from the same house and Sables by Annick Goutal might appreciate well behaved tuberose twist.
I will have 2 ml dab mini bottles; and as all three fragrances are quite potent, I think we can easily have at least 7 or 8 testers.
I will be honest, I have an ulterior motive for this pass - I want to make sure that if enough people are exposed to these fragrances, and hopefully love them enough to purchase, HdP will continue to make them. I can't take another "discontinued" heartbreak, let alone three of them .
If you are like me and having hard times with this flower or just curious, please join! It will be fun!
So far we have:
1. Genie Jeanie
2. PerfumedLady
3. cestrum nocturnum
4. jujy54
6. quixoticcynic
7. lucasai
8. Foustie

Please DO NOT include me in the pass but I am just going to say it is very nice of you to host a(nother) sniff! Thank you.
Wow, this is so generous of you! I'm quite new on the site (I've been lurking for awhile and only posting occasionally in the online discounts section when I come across good sales), so I'm not sure if I qualify to participate in this. (And if not, that's ok, of course.) However, I'd love to try these--I've been interested in the HdP Tuberose trilogy for awhile. (And I'd love to send you some samples in return...I have so many that I won't be using.)
Great pass! I have samples myself so I don't need to participate, but I agree with you that the trio is excellent. I especially like the Animale (plus I like immortelle), which is likely going on my to buy list soon.
Oh, I knew, cacio, that Animale was right up your alley!!! But what do you think - you might not agree with me of course - but I think that Animale is more intriguing and complex than both 1740 and Sables. And if you have time, could you share your views on all three? I just think it's so unfair that these three don't get the attention they deserve.
quixoticcynic - Welcome to Basenotes!!! You are most welcome to participate in this pass and share your views! However, and hope you will understand: would you mind terribly if I move you to the end of the line? I am sure that you are a wonderful and honorable individual, but my bottles are 14 ml to begin with and I am not sure that I can spare another 2 ml if someone in the beginning of line is to disappear. Thank you so much for your generous offer to ship samples, but you can always give them away at a freebie thread, or start your own sample pass. We all would appreciate the opportunity to try other scents

I know you're taunting me, Whitefluffy. You're trying to reform this "not a fan of tuberose" person who used to love it. But I hope you'll get some lovers of the big, bold flower to give this generous offer a try.
Oh no, you have to tell me, what's with "used to love"? Some juicy story? These tuberoses, I think, will appeal to those who have difficult relationships - sounds exactly like yours. Would you join us, please?
Seriously, I hope I can make peace with this note & be friends again, & I'll be nice if it doesn't happen. Thanks for the opportunity!!!!
- - - Updated - - -
Yay! Awesome! Thanks for joining!!! I am really curious to see if tuberose will be the friend of the drunken, attention seeking girl you mentioned in another pass . Or maybe she will be a designated driver?
Whitefluffy is right that these tuberoses don't smell at all like the classic ones. If you have in mind Fracas (or even more so Tub criminelle or Eclair), they are not it. They are less garish and highlight only certain facets of the tuberose. Especially animale, which is only vaguely floral, but is more about the sweetish, decaying aspect of the tuberose.
I don't think I prefer Animale to 1740, but they are really different things. The first time I put it on, I was blown away. But it was really hot and humid, so perhaps it was projecting its dirty self more than usual. When I tried again here last month, it was smoother and not as intense. But still very good. And the drydown, as usual with immortelle, is nearly eternal.
Thank you, cacio, for sharing your views! I thought that you might not agree with me about 1740. I agree that they are quite different - immortelle being the one most obvious similarity. But while 1740 didn't grab me as Animale did, it's of course, a matter of personal preference. I just thought what unusual and unexpected pairing - tuberose with immortelle - but it works beautifully. As for a weather, I saw numerous mentions that tuberose blooms in hot and humid weather. Unfortunately, I have no way of testing this as I live in one of the driest parts of the country. But if I will be heading somewhere warm and humid I will make sure to bring all three of them with me.
Thanks for putting me on the list, W.! Not necessarily a tuberose hater here but certainly am very picky about this note. Usually like it so far buried as to be undetectable but as Whitefluffy knows, I have exceptions to every rule. Coty's Sand and Sable (vintage) and MDCI's Enlevement au Serail both break my "easy on the tuberose" rule, easily detectable in both and yet I love them. Go figure.
The nose wants what it wants!
This sounds like a delicious group of fragrances! I would love to join. I *love* tuberose, and anytime I have them as cut flowers in the house, it requires herculean efforts to extract my head from the bunch! It's just one of those things I can't get enough of. For me, perfumes have never really re-created that addictive quality, so I am super curious! Thank you WF, for offering to share these!!!
Yay! Welcome, CN and PerfumedLady! Lucas, I would love to have you too, if last person in line is willing to ship overseas. If not, I will try to ship 1 and 2 to you.
I know what you mean, PerfumedLady, and that's exactly why I wanted to do this pass. These are not straight in your face tuberoses, but complex creations that showcase tuberose well with great supporting cast. You know I am very picky about tuberoses too.
CN you are so lucky to have live tuberoses in your house, I never had the privilege to smell the real deal. I bet I would have difficult times extracting my head from them as well.
Whitefluffy, thanks! And I certainly understand and am just fine with being last (or being bumped, if more than 7 people are interested). If I do end up being last in the pass, though, I'd be happy to send 1 and 2 along to you, lucasai. (I've been lurking on nst for a few months now, and your blog is terrific, btw. I'm a student--lit. grad student--myself, so I understand how challenging it can be to develop a collection with limited funds.)
Through Fluffy's generosity I too am able to sample these three perfumes. Thank you!
I was skeptical when she said she would send me tuberose samples. I am far from being a fan. But, these ARE perfect for getting one over their fear of tuberose. Well, they coax you rather, since the tuberose is not at all prominent.
So far, my favorite is #3. However, my strongest response was to #1. During the first half an hour it bears a strong resemblance to a glue we were using in kindergarden. A very addictive smell that I had completely forgotten.
As irresponsible as I've been in not keeping up with sample passes, I hesitate to ask, unless you want to put me dead last. Tuberose, tho...heaven help me...
What do insomniac perfumers do to fall asleep? They count chypres!
Of course, jujy, you are most welcome! Thanks so much for joining, I would love to have you. I know you are partial to white flowers, really curious to see what you will think about these three!
darkdreams - Thanks so much for joining and sharing your opinions! I am so glad to see that they appealed to you. Tubereuse 1 is my absolute fave though I love all three!

Lovely RHM decided to join us and I think we have enough people to let the fun begin. I just shipped the package to Genie Jeanie.
What a capital idea! I remember being one of the first few to review this trio on BN. I enjoy Capriceuse the most but Animale is wearable too. They certainly deserve a larger audience on BN imo. Sometimes in the search for strangely compelling compositions we overlook the wearable and well-constructed.
The samples arrived today, so I will start the testing tomorrow with unscented skin. Considering my more recent views on tuberose this is a bit of an oxymoron, but I'm really looking forward to trying these scents! I've never tried anything from Histoires de Parfums & I'm feeling good vibes.
Thanks for this opportunity, Whitefluffy!!
We LOVE oxymorons here. We also love zeugmas.
Of course we do
Today was spent with the tuberose family, so it's time to gather my notes & ramble!
Tubereuse 1 - Capricieuse
As expected from the description, Capricieuse opened up with leather & iris. Not a bold leather, but more of a soft suede note. The iris is more metallic rather than sweet. There is also an odd sort of note that I can't place. Some sort of spice, but nothing familiar to me. The whole effect is subtle & light.
As the the scent progresses, citrus and other floral notes join the mix. I recognize a hint of Ylang, as it's one of my favorite florals. The tuberose is noticeably present, but more as a component instead of a standout note. (which is just fine with me!)
At dry-down I'm left with a very delicate skinscent. I would describe Capricieuse as more of a leather-tinged floral than a true tuberose scent. For that I am grateful. I actually like it!!
Next up: Tubereuse 2 - Virginale...
Yay! Great first impressions, Genie Jeanie! I was hoping that Capricieuse will be to your liking as it is least tuberose heavy from the three, I think.
Tubereuse 2 - Virginale
Virginale opens up with brighter & sweeter notes than the Capricieuse. It's a fruity floral from the start & reminds me of the tropics with it's exotic flower overtones.
Middle notes bring the creaminess of the tuberose to the forefront, with the addition of woods & musk.
Upon drydown Virginale falls flat & fails to impress. After about an hour the once vibrant notes have all but disappeared & I'm left with a pale musky floral. There was nothing special in this one for me.
And lastly: Tubereuse 3 - Animale
- - - Updated - - -
Tubereuse 3 - Animale
Animale was the biggest surprise of the trio. I have to admit that Cacio's description of it as "...more about the sweetish, decaying aspect of the tuberose" had me wary, as that's the aspect of tuberose I find repugnant. But...
The opening of Animale totally blew me away! Gorgeous, sophisticated scent!! The mix of honeyed tobacco with another "mystery note" captured me from the start. If this is what immortelle smells like it has a new fan.
As the scent developed the tuberose became much more pronounced. This is usually where I take my leave, but the mix was so...I don't know how to express it. Interesting? Inviting? No, it just seemed complete.
In the end I'm loving this scent. Very shocked, but loving it all the while.
Surprisingly, this confirmed tuberose-hater has found 2 out of 3 scents to like. I may even seek a decant or two!
Thank you so very much Whitefluffy for your generosity & for what this pass has given me personally! I've learned that I don't really "hate" tuberose after all. While I may never warm up to Fracas & the like, I don't have to limit myself when I see tuberose as a note. I hope all of the other sniffers will find something to love as well.
PerfumedLady, they're coming your way tomorrow!
Great impressions. Indeed, none of the three is a big in your face tuberose. Immortelle is often described as a curry-honey-caramel. It is most evident in the deep drydown of Animale. However, it is not as big as in other immortelle scents like Eau Noire or Sables.
Totally off topic, but you're in my home town. How has the area weathered the storm?
Things seemed to be normal today. I didn't see any flooding or anything. Offices will be open tomorrow. So more or less we were spared, unlike nyc.
The tuberoses are here! All snug inside their pretty little lavender box, just an adorable presentation! Thank you for sharing these with us, Whitefluffy! I'm so eager to try these tuberoses that made a tuberose lover out of you!
The Mr. and I have a long weekend of bathroom renovation work planned; will wait until next week to begin these when I'm able to focus on them. I'll still be quick enough to pass them along to cn before the week is out. Can't wait to see how this goes!
The nose wants what it wants!
PerfumedLady, there is no rush at all! Please take as much time as you need and I wish all your bathroom renovations to go exactly as you planned .
But I really do hope that at least one will catch your eye (nose) as they are nothing like any tuberose I have encountered so far.
Oh! PerfumedLady, there is no rush on my account! Please take your time. And good luck with the bathroom renovation, too! That can be a really big undertaking!
Wow, Whitefluffy! I am still nearly speechless; this has truly been enlightening for me. Consider my mind blown and my attitude adjusted where tuberose is concerned! I have participated in some of our greatest sample passes and this one is right up there with the most educational, helpful and fun of the bunch! Thank you so much for bringing these to my attention.
Honestly, I had to psyche myself up to try these; wasn't expecting this to be as fun as it was. To my surprise, I like all of these, even love one. Will start with my "likes":
#2 Virginale- fruity floral done right, with intelligence. This one comes closest to what I think of when I think tuberose. But where I often find the flower harsh and brassy, this one is smooth, rich, buttery and golden. I enjoyed the cherry when it first presented, juicy and clear. This one is my least favorite of the trio; not a particular fan of the thick cherry pipe tobacco vibe in the drydown. But still, if this one were to mysteriously appear in my collection, it would be worn occasionally. It's just that well done.
#3 Animale- do like the blond tobacco here. Immortelle is not as heavy or sweet as in some immortelle scents I've tried and makes a striking and curious blend with the at times rubbery tuberose. Don't usually like that aspect but here I do. I could see this becoming quite animalic on me in the hot weather. Absolutely love the honeyed, woody, leathery drydown. Could not stop sniffing this one.
And finally, the one that surprised me the most- and I surprised myself by buying!:
#1 Capricieuse- powdery iris tuberose heaven! What an amazing work of art. Don't pick out the saffron, unless it's the elementary school "tub o' paste" note darkdreams referred to. I get that, too and strongly. Sounds weird and up close, it is a bit strange. It's in the sillage that this shows it's true beauty. Sampled this on a very active day and glad I did, body heat puffs out the most incredible wafts of vaguely spicy, iris tinged tuberose and lightly cocoa dusted suede. Iris here is excellent quality; at times doughy, at others make-upy and powdery. Tuberose is plenty prominent to my nose and I love it. I think cn and jujy will like this; also made me think of Foustie. And even though Mimi can do some whopping white florals, I think this could impress her as well. I can see this becoming a BN darling if enough people try it. So, totally out of character for me to jump so soon but yes, I ordered a bottle! On its way now. No guilt, either; this is unlike any scent I own and now I have something for those days that perfume-wise, I have "nothing to wear". When I need to step out of my box, Capricieuse will be there for me.
These are all so masterful! Unique compositions to be sure, I've never smelled anything quite like them. Never dreamed I'd own a scent called Tubereuse Anything. These are all just so unbelievably good!
These eye-openers are on the way to cn (and I owe you a nice, chatty message over the weekend; please forgive me!) and I can't wait to see what she thinks! I'm eager for all the rest of the group to get these; this is shaping up to be quite a sample pass! Whitefluffy, you have my undying love for enticing me to try these!

The nose wants what it wants!
Yay!! Perfumedlady, I'm so glad that you liked them too! I have to admit that I had to take a deep breath before testing these. Like it was going to be my last bit of fresh air for a while. I was also very pleasantly surprised by them.
Whitefluffy! Looks like you're making converts out of all the "tuberose challenged" people. Maybe we should make kalli try them too. Wouldn't that be a coup!!
Oh, exactly, Genie Jeanie! Because I know Whitefluffy's tastes very well and share a lot of loves with her, I was super curious. But because it was tuberose, I was also super terrified! However, I did just this year sample two others with tuberose I just loved- Parfums MDCI Enlevement au Serail and jujy's gorgeous but discontinued (and impossible to find) Mollie Parnis. Maybe sample the MDCI if you haven't; it's similar in its tuberose-but-not-A-tuberose style.
We'd have to put Kalli in restraints to get this stuff on her. I'm for it; I'd love to hear what she has to say about these! Watch out, Kalli!
The nose wants what it wants!
I am so happy (and laughing) that I can hardly speak (type). I knew, I knew, I KNEW (!!!!) that our dearest PerfumedLady will be enchanted with Capricieuse, but I had NO IDEA that you will buy a FB right away! WOW!!!! May I ask what size did you get?
I am so glad that you appreciated Virginale as it is my darling, though Capricieuse is my fave. It is indeed well done for a very white white floral; and so innocent smelling despite all voluptuous ingredients. And Animale is quite something else - so rich, dark, unique, but at the same time, it's very comforting and well behaved.
Genie Jeanie, this was the whole point to convert "tuberose challenged," to borrow your phrase, folk. I was always fascinated with tuberose; but like many of us, I was suffocated and nauseated by it's buttery, rubbery aspects. I am so glad to share my appreciation of these severely underhyped scents, especially with "tuberose challenged" ones, as I am one myself.
I did invite Kalli, but she politely declined. There is still spot for her if you darling gels manage to convince her .
Lol, I'm still laughing, too W.! I had a blast shelling out for this bottle; was fun to be so unlike myself! Capricieuse just makes me so happy, it's a bombshell of a scent but a refined and approachable one. Not the loud drunken one who announces herself obnoxiously. And how could an iris lover resist such high quality materials? I went for the 2 oz. bottle and hoping I'll have the good sense to make it last. But I was tempted to get the big one with the cool travel atomizer.
These are all exactly as you described to me! I do have great appreciation for your pretty Virginale and Animale is another I'd gladly wear and often, I think. And of course, Capriceuse is the star of the collection to me but others will have different faves, I'm sure. I couldn't argue with anyone about which is best of the trio; they all have their own merits.
This is off topic but so funny- just as I was typing, the Big T brought in the mail and I have yet another Whitefluffy package! Eerie. I know there are good things here, going to tear into it now!
The nose wants what it wants!
That;s one fine sample pass, very happy for you all, ladies.
Twolf Thanks for dropping in!
Twolf, thank you! It's nice knowing you're peeking in on us. Have you tried these already? I'm pretty sure I know where you can get some Capriceuse if you're interested!
Thank you, too, lucasai! I have a hunch #1 will also be your favorite. RHM or quixoticcynic, please let me know if Capriceuse runs too low toward the end of the group and I'll send more along before the package leaves for Poland. Really no need for our samplers to be sparing with this one now!
The nose wants what it wants!
PerfumedLady, thanks so much for offering to share some more, it's very generous of you! . Per your suggestions, I was wondering if Foustie have tried this one, it sure smells like something she might like very much. Lucasai could you ship to UK if Foustie decides to join our pass? I can cover shipping costs from Poland to UK.
Hope you don't mind my butting in but this is an interesting pass you have going and it inspired me to give #1 Capricieuse a run as my SOD, with the other two dabbed on my arm for comparison. I'd really like to share with you all my preference if I may.
Of the three I'd give the nod to #1 Capricieuse's leather/iris combo and of which I find also has the most prominent tuberose note. That said these are all ''tuberose at thirty paces' compared to Tubereuse Criminelle which I happily wear around the house.
A close second runs #3 Animale. I can see your comparison with 1740 Whitefluffy, most notably in the drydown though as to my nose they start in very different places. For me #3 Animale slides along a scale somewhere between Parfum de Nicolai's Vie de Chateau Intense and 1740. Vie de Chateau Intense has a cut grass, hay, tobacco thing going on which I get somewhat form Animale initially, but Animale is certainly closer to its' stable mate by the end.
Capricieuse and Animale are both very impressive but I have to say I found #2 Virginale pretty underwhelming. It is a rather sweet, fruity and clearly the most feminine of the three. This one suffers the most from the restrained use of tuberose as it feels hamstrung by not having enough buttery goodness and little else happening to make it interesting.
Welcome, Ozjon701! Nice to have you join in & add your experiences. I enjoyed the read. I think it's great when others test right along with us. Having lots of different opinions just adds to the fun for everyone!
Looks like the ladies had a busy afternoon without me today! I'm afraid I can't top PerfumedLady's FB purchase of the Capricieuse, but I did order decants of Capricieuse and Animale!!! As some here know, I much prefer my flowers with some color to them; pink, red, yellow & especially purple. But white?? I usually hide with Kalli! So this was quite a step for me. Well, actually a baby step, but at least I picked my foot up! It's a start, right??
Considering all the damage my wallet suffered during and after the Annick Goutal pass, it is with trepidation I look forward to this one. I am very much tuberose challenged. It mostly smells like gasoline on me. Yep, you heard me, gasoline.
We shall see what happens.
Again with the "Buahahahaha"-ing!
We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men. ~Herman Melville
I feel your pain. I have 2 Goutals on order, & now 2 decants from this pass!! Passes are evil temptations!
It seems that Capricieuse is a crowd favorite with the Animale close second. No love for poor Virginale? Anyone? It's OK, more for me . I agree with you Ozjon701 that it not as original as its two sisters, but I find it charming and bridal almost in feel. I do like it quite a bit .
I see this pass claimed another victim - Genie Jeanie. All is going according to plan...Buahahahaha, indeed...
RHM Unfortunately, I can do little to reassure you. You just might like something despite yourself. But the wonderful thing is are those 14 ml bottles for$36 that will get you going until you are ready for a big purchase.
Thank you Lucas! You are a darling and a very fine gentleman, if I may say so!
Just a quick note to say that a *fabulous* package from the lovely and generous PerfumedLady arrived at my door today!
Whitefluffy, what an adorable presentation of samples! I read through PL's excellent and enjoyable reviews of each, and I am afraid-- very afraid-- that I may wind up loving all three of these... I am going to try to harden my heart (nose?) before I start sniffing! lol!

TCA chemical peel is a type of beta hydroxy peel that cost less online. The acid name is very common in many acne treatments thus the acid is very great for treating clogged pores and acne. The peel can be quite strong and more penetrating than other peels. It is the only hydroxyl acid which is oil soluble and allows it to penetrate into clogged pores. It can be used more frequently than the other peel without any risk for irritation.
When you are using TCA chemical acid peel you should prepare your face, cleanse it and then apply the peel on your skin. Your skin will feel warm, a stinging sensation may be present and also it will turn red. The peel is usually left on the skin for about 10 to 25 minutes and the concentration of the peel may vary based on the condition that you are treating .Because of its immediate side effects and quick treatment time, the TCA acid peel is known to be the best chemical peel compared to other peels.
What You Need To Know From PCCSVA and AMC2
The number of treatment and time framed for visible results may vary from person to person. It may also depend on the on the skin condition that you are intending to treat and the severity of the skin damage. However, if you are treating moderate acne you will need about six treatments but if the acne is severe you need more peel treatment. Although some people may notice the improvement in cases of mild acne or occasional breakouts you require a higher peel that will help you.
Our peel is one of the best treatments for blemish prone skin including blackheads and whiteheads. It also diminishes the sun damage and lightens the appearance of the pigmentation .While lower concentration are fairly ineffective as exfoliate, higher strength will resurface the skin by dissolving the damage top layer of the epidermis to reveal the smoother and healthier skin underneath.
The acid peel have effects limited to the epidermis because the acid does not penetrate deep within the skin no matter how long it is left on the skin. They also refresh the skin by removing discoloured skin cell. Unlike other chemical peels they can be a little more intense depending on the percentage of acid used.
A part from AMC2 salicylic acid peel being treatment for acne, it may also functions as an antifungal agent and provide substantial relief to those suffering from chronic yeast overgrowth .The acid also provide marked improvements on skin tone, texture and clarity.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Vice Chair of the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee (JEC), today released a new report examining veterans' employment and exploring strategies for helping more returning service members make smooth transitions into the workforce. The report finds that the employment situation for veterans has improved overall and highlights the need to continue to boost job training and help veterans use the skills they learned in the military to get good jobs when they return home.
"There wasn't a waiting line when our veterans signed up to serve our country and there shouldn't be a waiting line for decent jobs when they get home," Klobuchar said. "We need to focus on building job opportunities for veterans by improving training and ensuring these men and women can make a smooth transition into good jobs when they return home."
The unemployment rate for veterans in 2012 was 7 percent, lower than the non-veteran unemployment rate of 7.9 percent and lower than the recent high for veteran unemployment of 8.7 percent in 2010. Today's report shows that while post-9/11 veterans faced a higher overall unemployment rate of 9.9 percent in 2012, their rate has fallen at a faster clip than that of nonveterans.
Today's report outlines the need to focus on strategies to continue to help veterans transition their military experience into civilian jobs, including increased skills training and educational opportunities as well as efforts to streamline the process for obtaining certain certifications and occupational licenses. Additionally, the report stresses the need to ensure returning veterans have access to job search and resume-writing assistance.
Klobuchar has long championed policies to help veterans successfully transition the skills they learned on the battlefield into good-paying civilian jobs. She authored legislation, passed into law last year, to streamline the process for receiving a commercial driver's license, as well as introduced the Veterans to Paramedics Act, legislation making it easier for veterans who trained as paramedics in the military to earn credentials as emergency medical technicians.
Klobuchar introduced the bipartisan Post-9/11 Veterans Job Training Act to allow veterans to use their GI Bill benefits for job training and apprenticeship programs, provisions that went into effect in 2011. Also in 2011, Klobuchar helped pass the VOW to Hire Heroes Act into law, legislation promoting the hiring of unemployed veterans by requiring separating service members to participate in career training programs and providing a tax credit to employers who bring unemployed veterans into their workforce.
The full report can be found here.

Baystate Orthopedic Surgery Center, a service of Baystate Medical Center, is a hospital outpatient ambulatory surgery facility. Advances in medicine and technology make it possible for an adult or child to have non-emergency surgery and return home the same day.
Special Care for Kids
Children who need surgery find our environment particularly calming and comfortable. We make every effort to accommodate the special needs of children. To put children at ease and make them feel at home, we encourage parents to:
Parents may accompany their child to the operating room and leave after the child is asleep. They may rejoin their child as soon as it is appropriate. We insist that one parent stay at the Center during the surgery and recommend that one adult drives and the other cares for the child on the way home. We request that all other children in the family remain at home.
Our Services
Our orthopedic surgeons, all of whom practice at New England Orthopedic Surgeons, offer a comprehensive range of outpatient surgeries in most areas, including:
Our state-of-the-art, ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia aids in rapid anesthesia recovery and minimizes nausea after surgery.
The surgery center will be used exclusively by New England Orthopedic Surgeons (NEOS) for outpatient orthopedic surgery appropriate for this setting. We are located in our new building at 50 Wason Avenue, Springfield, MA.

Comment: Nice fit, I'm a size 12 regular and these boots (size 12) fit perfect... Velcro flaps are a bit of a pain but not enough to be an issue...I recommend them, great boots.
NS Canada
Comment: I tried these boots on, they were true fit and made sturdy and very stylish. I went riding on my bike and the shoes functioned well, it was easy to shift and break while fitting the pegs. Nice boots.
Atlanta, Ga
Comment: When you're on a budget and like the idea of having something to protect your feet when you take a digger, then these are your boots. I was wearing hiking boots before and these boots provide much better ankle support and I've already done some scraping on the toe sliders making me glad they'r there. The laces stay put under the velcro overlap and the soles are plenty grippy and firm while being comfortable enough to walk and wear around the office all day. The only gripe I have with these is the lack of armor over the ankle bone itself. The material is pretty thick over the ankle though and I think it would stand up in a crash.
Overall the build quality is good and for the money they offer some peace of mind while you're trying to eat those chicken strips off your tires.
Comment: Boots fit great out of the box, the only issue I have is that the shoe strings are very long, have to tuck them in to the side of the shoe.
Comment: Great boots! Fit is great and true to size! I bought these for my hubby for Christmas and he loved them! Highly recommended!
Warner Robins GA
Comment: These are great boots. I like the fit and the look of the boots. They are good for walking as riding. The boot is pretty light and not heavy like my Icon boots.
Burlington, NJ
Comment: Took awhile to get along with the Joe Rocket Manta Tail Bag that I ordered. Quality is OK, for the price. Fit was true to size. Toe slider on the right boot was not secured completely, but took care of that with a little glue.
R. Roetto
Chico, CA
Comment: Very good boots very comfortable and good when walking too we order more products from here in the future
Washington D.C
Comment: Virtually no break in. Almost as comfortable as sneakers right out of the box. The laces and Velcro really don't play well together. I've found that dumping the laces and just using the Velcro works fine. I went up a size and got a good fit.
Somerville, TX
Comment: Just received my boots.(Fast Shipping)Haven't had a chance to try them riding yet, but tried them on after going on a 5 mi. hike & they felt great. Very nicely made & light on the feet. Just as described with lots of protection. Also ordered a sz larger as suggested.

Everett woman, special cat reunited after a year
Pet was lost for a year after being a friend through cancer treatment

Loni Fitzgerald recognizes her long lost cat, Clair, when she arrives at the Everett Animal Shelter Monday. The cat, which had been missing for a year, had meant a lot to Fitzgerald, who was recovering from cancer surgery when she acquired her.

Loni Fitzgerald expresses joy over being reunited with her cat, Clair at the Everett Animal Shelter Monday. Clair was found after being lost for a year.
Dan Bates / The Herald
Clair enjoys being out of the holding cell and having a hallway at the Everett Animal Shelter to herself Monday, while owner Loni Fitzgerald answers questions from the press.
The female tabby mix named Clair was only a year old when she disappeared last December. Loni, 30, and her husband, Trevor, searched their Everett neighborhood but couldn't find their beloved pet. Weeks and months went by without any sign of her.
Then came the phone call on Sunday that caught Fitzgerald completely off-guard.
An Everett Animal Shelter staff member had found Clair standing in the rain near Pacific Avenue and Grand Avenue. The cat's microchip, implanted under its skin, helped the shelter locate Fitzgerald, who at the time was packing to return home from a family trip to Hawaii.
"I was in shock, I seriously started bawling my eyes out," Fitzgerald said. "I just couldn't believe it."
Fitzgerald, her husband and their 1-year-old daughter, Faith Olivia, were reunited with their cat Monday afternoon at the Everett Animal Shelter.
"Look at how big she is," she said. "She has the same black stripe and that face."
Clair, nestled safely in Fitzgerald's arms, leaned into her owner's touch and briefly closed her eyes. Fitzgerald gave her a couple quick kisses.
She was undergoing treatment for cervical cancer in 2010 when she adopted the young cat, Fitzgerald said. The two quickly became friends.
"She was like my baby," Fitzgerald said. "I just loved her."
Her cancer has been in remission for a year, Fitzgerald added. In October, she and her husband decided to get another cat for their daughter to grow up with. They planned to slowly introduce Clair to their new kitten, Boots. He'll get a microchip in January, Fitzgerald said.
When a stray cat or dog is brought into the Everett Animal Shelter a staff member will scan the animal for a microchip, said Kate Reardon, city spokeswoman. The information on the microchip often helps to locate pet owners. Four of six lost cats with microchips turned in to the Everett Animal Shelter in the past week were reunited with their owners, Reardon added.
"The good news is when the phone call matches the real pet owner," she said. "It's always really important that people update their information."
Fitzgerald said she's grateful that Clair is healthy after being discovered about seven miles away from her home.
"I wish she could tell me what she's been through," she said. "I'm definitely not going to be letting her outside for a very long time."

A fun activity in the late 1980's and early 1990's was to write polyglot programs that ran in multiple languages, e.g. check out this one which runs in COBOL, Pascal, Fortran, C, PostScript, Linux/Unix shell script (bash, sh, csh), x86 machine language and Perl! More recently the term has resurfaced (e.g. Neal, Martin and others) in recognition of the fact that a developer no longer lives in a world dominated just by one language, e.g. COBOL, Java, C#. As a minimum, a developer must know JavaScript for AJAX sights, SQL for databases, XML, various build file dialects, various scripting languages etc., in addition to one or more mainstream languages.
This interest has been increasing lately with multiple languages being emphasised on both the JVM and the CLR. Groovy obviously supports a polyglot relationship with Java (e.g. A Groovy class can inherit from a Java class which can inherit from a Groovy class). In other cases Groovy reduces the need to introduce multiple languages because it gives you a Groovy syntax where you might otherwise have to introduce a new language, e.g. using GPath instead of introducing XPath, using datasets instead of SQL, AntBuilder instead of Ant XML files and so on. Other features just make integration with other languages a little easier, e.g. Groovy's regex, multi-line string, GString amd template support.
Groovy also has other Polyglot friendly features or integration possibilities:
- Consider combining Functional Programming with Groovy with Groovy
- Considering using some Constraint or logic programming with your Groovy
- Consider accessing other languages via JSR-223
- Consider using Groovy as a front end scripting language for your Hadoop Cluster
- Calling Scala from Groovy
- Calling Clojure from Groovy

The eight short-listed design teams have been announced for a competition to redevelop the Windermere Steamboat Museum on the shores of Windermere.
The Lakeland Arts Trust recently secured initial support for a £7.4m Heritage Lottery Fund bid, including £494,000 development funding, to take the project forward. The project aims to create an exciting and active museum which will use the lake and the lakeside setting to display the nationally significant collection of steam launches, motor boats, yachts and other vessels which are all associated with Windermere.
The first stage of the competition attracted 114 expressions of interest. The short-list (in order of the architect leading the multi-disciplinary design team) is as follows: Carmody Groarke; Adam Khan Architects; Niall McLaughlin Architects; Terry Pawson Architects; Reiach and Hall Architects; 6a Architects; Sutherland Hussey Architects; Witherford Watson Mann Architects.
Martin Ainscough, Chairman of the Lakeland Arts Trust, commented: "We are very encouraged by the quality of entries in the architectural competition and the judging panel had a difficult decision to select the final eight for the shortlist. We are looking forward to working with the successful practice to create a world class facility in the heart of the Lake District.."
Gordon Watson, the trust's chief executive, added: "We are looking for a fresh, well-detailed and sensitive response for the stimulating and highly significant site on Windermere and to display the museum's wonderful collection of boats."
The second stage of the competition will seek design concepts for the project. Architects will need to take into account the requirement of displaying the boats and other items in the collection in the exhibition space and wet dock, and enabling visitors to see the boats being restored in the conservation workshop, as well as designing an appropriate facility for the location to provide a world-class visitor experience.
The design proposals will be subject to public display and comment in late October 2011 and the design teams will be invited to present their schemes to the jury panel at final interviews in late November 2011.

The pair will immerse themselves in the local community for a whole week, and they also plan to meet the city's students in a Q&A session during the week.
Chris Moyles says: "The Big Weekend is always the highlight of my year and I'm so excited that we get to go up to Carlisle for a whole week beforehand and settle in before everyone else arrives. I'm hoping the good people of Carlisle are going to show us a good time!''
Greg James adds: "I'm really looking forward to this year's Big Weekend and to bring my show live from Carlisle. Chris and I will be out and about meeting the locals during the week and I'm hoping we can experience the best of the city!"

'VERY knowledgable' staff at a popular Kendal attraction are celebrating after securing a top accreditation.
Kendal Museum has been accredited as a Quality Assured Visitor Attraction - an assessment run by Visit England and recognises customer service and visitor experience at attractions across the country.
A Visit England assessor praised the strong collections, recognising the effort that has gone into creating a well-balanced wildlife gallery and the considerable effort that has been put into modernising the Wainwright Gallery.
In a report, the assessor said of the museum: "The Wildlife Gallery succeeds in presenting specimens from five continents in an imaginative and lively fashion that can be readily grasped by children".
Learning facilities for children were also praised along with 'excellent' reading books being available.
The Wainwright Gallery was also commended for its cabinets and the assessor said that the staff 'engaged well and were very knowledgeable'.
The assessor summed up his judgement and reported: "There is a wealth of excellent material in the museum – with the Wildlife Gallery and the Wainwright exhibits showing what can be achieved. The possibilities for mutually beneficial exchanges of skills with college courses and museum qualifications seem exciting. There is huge potential scope for the Museum."

"My professors mentored and challenged me in my walk with Christ inside and outside the classroom. I didn't feel like a student. I felt like a friend.

Cascade High wrestling coach, son a winning combination
Brooklyn Obregon coaches his son, Gino, who competes in the 126-pound class and is ranked second in Class 4A

So when then-high school sophomore Gino Obregon competed in the 2012 Class 4A regionals -- with a chance to advance to the state tournament -- it was no surprise that his father, Brooklyn Obregon, was on the mat with him.
The surprising part is that the elder Obregon, who was in his first year as the head wrestling coach at Cascade High School, was in the opposite corner from his son, who attended Snohomish at the time.
"When I was hired as the Cascade coach, I thought it may happen because I knew I had a young man that was pretty competitive around the same weight," Brooklyn said. "I thought it may occur, but you just hope that it doesn't."
Gino wrestled well that Saturday, but not well enough to reach the regional final in the 113-pound class. Instead, he ended up in the third-place bout against Cascade's Jorge Escobedo.
"It was hard because Jorge was/is one of my good friends," Gino said. "But all's fair in love and war, so I just, you know ... I didn't want to give it to him. I had to work hard for that win. My desire and my goal was to go to state, so I had to beat him to go to state.
"So, I beat him."
It was a hard-fought match that ended with a third-period pin.
"It was a very weird feeling," said Brooklyn, who has coached both Gino and Gino's sister in wrestling and soccer for most of their lives.
"It was a very numb feeling. You want to be happy for your son and you want to console your own wrestler. I shook (Gino's) hand, I was happy for him, but then I had to actually turn and try to nurture or try to console my own wrestler. It's very difficult in a circumstance like that."
A week later, Gino validated his regional victory by placing third at Mat Classic, the top individual finish by a Snohomish wrestler in 2012.
But Gino never wanted to wrestle opposite his father again.
At the time of Gino's birth, the Obregons lived in Lake Stevens. Seven years ago, they moved to a house on the other side of the lake, thinking they were still within the boundaries of Lake Stevens High School and that Gino would be a part of the Vikings' wrestling dynasty under coach Brent Barnes. At the time, Brooklyn was a youth coach in Lake Stevens.
When the Obregons went to register Gino for high school, the Lake Stevens registrar informed them "you don't live inside of our district."
"It was a surprise to all of us," Brooklyn said.
Instead Gino enrolled at Snohomish, where he wrestled for Rob Zabel.
"He fit in well with the team and wrestled well for us," Zabel said,
But after his sophomore year, Gino said, something didn't feel right. He had wrestled during the summers at USA Everett, where Brooklyn is a coach, and made friends there. Most of them went to Cascade.
"He just really wanted to wrestle with us," Brooklyn said.
So the family sold its home in Lake Stevens and moved to Everett so father and son would never again have to stare across the mat at each other.
"My dad really brings out my potential," Gino said. "He knows how to coach me. He knows me, you know?"
It's been tough to argue with the results so far this season. Gino, who competes at 126 pounds, is ranked second in the state in Class 4A by the Washington Wrestling Report. He has lost just two matches after jumping up two weight classes.
That said, it was tough for him to leave Snohomish and his Panther teammates.
"I just told them that I really wanted to wrestle for my dad," Gino said. "I just told them I'd miss them, you know, but I could do better if I wrestled for my dad."
Doing better has included improvement in his school work, which is important if Gino is going to achieve his dream of wrestling in college.
Wrestling had been Gino's top priority -- until this year, when he came to realization that achievement in the classroom comes before achievement on the mat.
"I'm taking it more seriously," he said.

HAZARD—A section of Highway 15 in Hazard was partially closed for nearly six hours Monday as crews worked to clean up a fuel spill resulting from an overturned tractor-trailer.
Hazard Police Chief Minor Allen said officers responded to the scene at around 1:25 p.m. after the driver of the vehicle lost control while attempting to exit from the Hal Rogers Parkway onto Highway 15 near Kemper Furniture.
"On arrival they found the vehicle on its side and a large amount of fuel spilled on the highway," Allen said. "The vehicle does have a capacity of 850,000 gallons … but it appears that not all of it spilled."
Allen said officials from the Environmental Protection Agency were called to the scene to assess the damage and clean the fuel up.
"They were busy well up into the night last night doing clean up on that," he said.
The driver of the tractor-trailer was not injured in the crash, Allen said, and no other vehicles were involved. The road was completely open by 7:30 p.m.
"That's a high traffic area through there. We would encourage anybody to use caution in that area just because of the amount of traffic that goes through that area; it's a major cross-section for town," he added.
