Another Gitzo tripod bites the dust.
Some of you may remember my thread from two years ago about the material failure (and warranty repair troubles) that I experienced with my first Gitzo tripod. Just last night I had a second one fail in a similar way, this time a 2-Series carbon fiber model:
And I came across a thread on another forum with several other people reporting precisely this failure with the same model (GT-2531): http://www.latogaphoto.com/2009/12/p...-gitzo-tripod/
I had a 5D Mark III with a 17-40 f/4L mounted on it, so it was nowhere near to being overloaded. Like the other people in that thread, I was using it in the cold (-11 C) and simply pushed down on it a bit as I always do to ensure that it was stable--something one ought to be able to do with a tripod. I always carry it in a padded bag and am very gentle with my equipment. I did absolutely nothing in the least bit abusive to it.
I'm now wondering if maybe I should switch brands. I'm not sure I can trust Gitzo anymore so long as they are using this apparently fragile alloy to hold the legs together. I paid good money for Gitzo tripods because I wanted equipment that would not let me down.
Should I be considering a switch to RRS? It looks like they don't quite have a comparable set of legs (something that stands as tall and is just as light). Has anyone had any problems with a RRS tripod? Any other suggestions for me?

It's a predictable response, but why not Manfrotto? I've had one for years and it has withstood everything.
It is used with a 808RC4 head or a wimberley and usually carries a big super-telephoto Nikon lens of some form or another and a D3s or something else like that. I know the 055XPROB I have won't be ideal for hiking, it's heavy - but it's damn solid.
You got lucky that you caught it (I assume you did) rather than having it fail spectacularly while the camera is on bulb doing a long-exposure.

Also, I really dislike the leg locks that Manfrotto uses. I always used to pinch my fingers in locks like that. Plus they're bulky. I much prefer the Gitzo G-locks. I actually liked everything about my GT-2531. It ticked all the right boxes for me.
Yes, I did get lucky. It didn't fall, probably because the snow was keeping the legs from slipping away. I was wearing snowshoes at the time, so if it did fall spectacularly, I wouldn't have been very nimble about catching it. I actually have a photo of me shooting when the tripod broke. I'll share it here just for kicks...

Bleh stupid cast collar pieces. I'm not sure what I'd suggest in tripods today. Manfrotto is under the same ownership. I tried the RRS pano head prior to the addition of the really heavy one they label as a Gimbal. I needed something to help make spherical hdris. It was nicely machined, but the puny locks could not properly support a 1DS. It was just irritating that when I told them what I owned, they didn't mention that it might be too much for the kit. The other problem I had with it was the L bracket had a little bit of flex, which only really bothered me as I needed to stitch images. I haven't tried anything from them since. The quality of the overall kit seemed good. It just wasn't designed for heavier cameras. I haven't tried any of their legsets or ball heads.
I can think of one that would probably hold up really well in the cold, but I don't think you'd like the idea. I don't think I'd want to to haul haul one of those either along with everything else. I sort of included it as a joke. I haven't seen one in use in a really really long time. I did find a few pages of discussion on another forum involving gitzo and RRS. It doesn't have much, but a couple people on there seemed to like RRS. You could probably inquire how hard they've used them.

Could you elaborate on the problem you had with the RRS locks? Is this something I might encounter with my kit? Or is this just a ballhead issue?
Thanks for the Fred Miranda link. I'll look through that thread for nuggets of wisdom. I'm particularly keen to find some comparisons of the leg locks (RRS vs. Gitzo), so maybe that will be in there.

That's too bad about your Gitzo Phrasikleia. It's always disappointing when your equipment lets you down…especially when you believe you've invested in the best.
My tripod story (not that this will necessarily help you but may be food for thought for others)…
I had been using an older and not so sturdy tripod but as I upgraded to a newer, heavier and more valuable camera and lenses, it was time to upgrade my tripod as well.
A couple months ago I was browsing in a second-hand store and noticed a number of tripods. The store owner told me he gets a lot of them as it's one of those things that many people buy but few actually use (???). I went through his inventory and found one that I thought would suit me well. It was coated with layers of dirt but appeared to be mechanically sound. The price tag was $30 (Cdn), I offered $20…done deal.
I took it home and spent 20 minutes cleaning it up and adapting an old camera neck strap as a sling-style carry strap. Granted, it's not the lightest on the market nor is it ball head but it's aluminum, very sturdy, extends high enough for someone 7 ft. (without extending the centre post) and has a wonderful panning mechanism (I think it may have been designed for commercial video).
I don't like to buy used camera equipment as I'm a bit anal about potential problems that I can't see, warranties, etc. However, the bottom line is: $20 and 20 minutes for an awesome tripod that should last for many years leaves me wondering if spending the money for the best is always the best solution.
Btw, looking forward to seeing the post of your shot above...should be amazing!

I LOVE my RRS sticks. I keep trying to find an excuse to buy another set, they are so well-engineered, constructed and aesthetically awesome. Apart from the price, I haven't found anything negative to say for them. Like all RRS products, made completely in the USA.
I only have kept my other Gitzo sticks (for travel/hiking) because RRS doesn't make anything quite as light.
I also have and use their ballheads and L-plates, which I also consider top-notch, for the reasons listed above. I can't imagine how one of their solid aluminum machined L-plates could have "flex".

And thanks for the optimism about the photo I was taking. I'm too miffed to process it right now. I feel bereft at the loss of such an important piece of gear!

From my limited experience with them, if I did not have Gitzo, I would go with a Feisol CT-3301 or similar model that will run around $300 instead of $900 for Gitzo. Feisol seems to be good kit.

After going through a few tripods I have settled with a heavy Manfrotto for the studio and use the cheap Hama Traveller Compact Pro for moving around. I actually have several of them in different places (one permanently in my car etc) and consider them to be pretty much disposable. They are tall enough for me and hold a good weight although there is a bit of flex in the legs. What I really like though is the price because I don't have to worry about putting them in the sea, mud or sand and as soon as something breaks I throw it and get out a new one. I can get through about 20 of them for the price of one Gitzo!

I would contact Gitzo and if they give you a hard time: start shopping for a new tripod from company "X". This failure is unacceptable! Maybe Gitzo can right the wrong with little fuss? If one has to 'fight' with a manufacturer to honor a repair, such is never fun and often is a bad business practice.
I hope you can work it out and continue with your life/job! Dealing with these problems is never fun, I feel for you big time. Maybe the cold weather was a culprit? After reading your other thread, maybe it was just bad quality control and this was a fluke? But twice within a few years? Maybe we can rule out fluke? Keep us posted, as I am a Gitzo tripod owner and would love to know how they deal with this issue.

Hi Phrasikleia, sorry to hear your GT-2531 bit the dust. I'm shooting with the same model of tripod so I'll be extra careful now in cold weather. I read the link you posted and it sounds like one person was able to contact Manfrotto to get a fast repair/replacement for their Gitzo tripod. Being that your tripod is likely still under warranty, are you willing to consider that option? If you have sworn off Gitzo, you could at least get it replaced for free and sell it to offset your next purchase of another brand.
I don't have experience with RRS tripods, but I do have experience with their ballheads, bubble level plates and (lack of) customer service. Their equipment chips far too easily in my opinion, because their anodization seems to be too thin. When I purchased my 5D3 I ended up getting a Kirk plate and it is vastly more resilient. On top of that, RRS customer service was adversarial and refused to consider the easy chipping a manufacturing defect, despite the level plate being only a couple weeks old. Apparently to them it's a feature to have easily-damaged equipment. I simply haven't had this problem with other brands of camera equipment, so I can't recommend RRS.
Check out Induro tripods if you get a chance. I found them after purchasing my GT-2531 and they appear to be quite nice for the money. I haven't used one yet however.

I will definitely report back about the warranty experience on this one. My situation is very complicated because I split my time between two continents. I purchased the tripod in the US, but at the moment I'm in Europe, where the warranty is no good. So I either have to get the tripod to Bogen/Manfrotto in New Jersey for repairs or else I have to pay to have it serviced here in Europe. Either way, I'm probably going to be without it for at least a month, especially with the holidays coming up. And of course I have a big photo trip coming up soon...Murphy's Law at its best...
Edit: Could you elaborate on the "chipping" of the RRS item you purchased? Was this a cosmetic or functional problem? Either way, your description of their customer service is very worrisome.

I don't know you would ever really trust a Gitzo again. Even in a best case scenario... Gitzo replaces your tripod, perhaps even with an upgrade... will you every really be able to stand there, waiting for the light, and not be thinking to yourself that perhaps the camera is about to fall.
My feeling is that Gitzo is going to have to much much more than just replace the tripod for you to have any confidence in it. And if you aren't confident in the tripod, how is that going to affect your shooting?
I don't have alternative to offer, sorry. I happen to use a Gitzo... but it's not one of the light carbon fibre jobs as I don't need light. However, I'll ask my friend who shoots in similar conditions as you do. He researches his purchases thoroughly.
Glad that there wasn't an unhappy ending to this story.

Gear designed to handle pro level equipment and costing North of $500 shouldn't crack on a fall in the snow, even in sub freezing temperatures.
I don't care for the locks on Manfrotto tripods either, but I still went with the carbon fiber version of the 055XBPRO when I did my upgrade around a year ago. It's easily eye height for me and I'm a 6 footer. I don't do extended mountain treks anymore, but I can easily carry it for several hours on the trail and I'm a legitimate "senior citizen" now.
Find what suites you best and go with it. You have high standards in photography gear. Just don't buy anything you haven't handled again, now that you know the point of failure for these things. Hang at photo stores and check out the local pros in your area. Handle stuff before you buy.
You could give Gitzo an earful and get them to replace your tripod free.
Edit: ask Art Wolfe what he would recommend. He uses his stuff in remote and unfriendly locations, too. I mean unfriendly environments, your locals are friendly. He uses Gitzo and Kirk, but his tripod dosen't have an extension. I think that would make it stronger at the point of failure you experienced. Here's a link: http://blog.artwolfe.com/ The bottom of the page has a photo of it. Wrong page. The photo is here

Your advice about shopping is definitely good, but how would anyone looking at a Gitzo in a store come to the conclusion that it would fail as mine did? A guy on POTN told me that a sales rep in his local store put all of his weight on a standing Gitzo just to show how sturdy it was.
Anyway, I do expect that Gitzo will honor my warranty, though one person in the thread I referenced earlier was denied. Assuming they fix it, I'll then have a tripod that I can't trust. That is a problem.

Phrasikleia Probably not news ... but for what it is worth, my friend who shoots similar materials says....
"I have read some really good things about the Really Right Stuff Tripods
and heads. I Have a gitzo tripod and a Acratech Ultimate ballhead - the
acratech head is amazing."
His website is www.friedmanphoto.com. I'm sure if you had any questions Steven wouldn't mind answering. He is a big fellow, so "light" is relative. Then again I think he packs a bigger camera (often a Horseman 617) so "light" might still be a critical factor.
Good Luck.

Phrasikleia One more reply. Hope this helps. Ron shoots exclusively travel assignments, and has been - well - everywhere. If I think of more folks who shoot under extreme conditions, I'll poll them too.
"I own a few gitzo models but use my Manfrotto 055MF3 magfiber (carbon fibre) which I took to the Antarctic on assignment, although temperatures there were actually not as cold as I've experienced in North America!
The gitzo that it replaced is a carbon fibre "reporter" G1228 which I've used since they first were manufactured without an issue.
I prefer the manfrotto for the quick release legs and its full longer reach."

The resulting damage to the bubble level:
After this issue, I realized another issue when using their bubble level - it prevents free rotation of the LR clamp:
I've since stopped using the bubble level altogether, as it just wasn't worth the hassle. Thankfully the 5D3 has a nice built-in level. Since contacting RRS about the bubble level, my ballhead has also developed chipping similar to the bubble level, despite treating the ballhead very carefully. It still lets me take stabilized photos though, and that's really what matters.

It seems we think alike in this way. I discovered the potential for luminance masks a long time ago, although I returned to mostly hand painted masks. It's really tedious, but it doesn't require a lot of contrast in the area to control it.

Anyway, I thought previously that a Series 2 would solve the problem I had with my Series 1 Gitzo (same thing, broken alloy), and I'm not feeling at all inclined to carry around a heavier Series 3 Gitzo in the hopes that it will be beefy enough to avoid a similar fate.
It's really depressing that I could buy two Gitzos for the price of one equivalent tripod from RRS. I'm in a real quandary with this issue. There was a time when I never thought I would pay what I did for the Gitzos, but I ultimately plunked down the money thinking I would never need to buy another tripod again. When does it stop?! OK, that was just a rant, but it felt good to get it out!

Tablet Plus
Soho Grand Hotel, New York
310 West Broadway at Grand Street, New York City, NY, USA
Neighborhood: Manhattan - Soho
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
On the outside, with its cheery pink brick facade, the SoHo Grand resembles a brand-new shopping complex. But inside is a different story. Cast iron dogs stand guard at industrial design central — square lights, molded concrete walls, a coffee table the size of a grand piano. There's mesh wire glass everywhere, including on the writing desks in the rooms. The floors are the same stuff you see on New York sidewalks — corrugated steel for the elevators, and cast iron and glass for the stairs.
When it opened in 1996, the Grand was the first big SoHo hotel, and its downtown location has continued to be a major factor in its identity. Take the concierges, who can get you a reservation at the hottest underground restaurant and fill you in on the hippest goings-on. Here's where you'll find Tokyo urbanites in platforms, tough-talking London businessmen on their cells, lanky Nigerian models, many rock and roll musicians, and a lot of crazy hair. It's easy for that much hipness to be intimidating, but the Grand, despite its name, is warm and happy. Maybe it's the pet friendly atmosphere — Fifi can munch on a biscuit at the bar while you drink your Tartini, and you can even borrow a goldfish to keep you company through those long Manhattan nights. Or perhaps it's the fact that while it's undisputedly cool, the Grand is also curiously reminiscent of dormitory days, with its reupholstered sofas and signature dish of macaroni and cheese on the menu, available in any of the three dining spaces on the second floor (plus The Yard outside during the warmer season).

All quiet lately... I wish this would kick up again. bigdub start posting!
There's activity... in other threads...
Makes me wonder why that is...
"Aime la vérité, mais pardonne à l'erreur." - François-Marie Arouet (Voltaire)
Last time I posted I got very little response, probably because my idea was dumb, but this one is a little better. The new name of the team could be the Legionnaires, now it is the name of a type of pneumonia, however, the basis of the name is meaningful, it has both French and Spanish usage, similar to the dual rule of Louisiana, the French legionnaires began under a king Louis, it also began under the house of Orleans, and the colors of their coat of arms was blue, red, and gold. If we change the blue to navy blue, and keep the red and gold we can have a unique color scheme, couple that with mardi gras alternates and some sorta black alternate uniform and we could have a nice look. The logo could include a fleur de lis with a crown at it's tip and maybe some kinda sword somewhere, idk, I'm not an artist. However, I think the idea is pretty solid, comment on it if u like, I have thick skin, I can take criticism. Also the French legionnaires were mostly comprised of soldiers from foreign lands, much like a sports team is comprised of players from different places, collected under one name
Yeah, good idea, bad name. Way too long and no one would spell it correctly.
Maybe New Orleans Legion? That's kinda awesome.
Most of the Legion logos are pretty dark, though. Could do something with wings and a sword, though.
Yeah, it is kinda hard to spell, but legionnaires could be full name, and legion short name, much like the supersonics/sonics, of knickerbockers/knicks. also, the arena could use the nickname, legion of doom, which was located in the swamp by the way.
The Legionnaires -- catch the disease!!!
I do like the logos though.
It could work. It's like Knights but it has a different ring to it.
Legion isn't bad. Its a start, but not the finished product.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
Ok, jerseys look better than the logo I'll give them that.
We can completely beat those ridiculous knock off Spurs unis.
Those jerseys look great IMO.
I like the logo better than the jerseys.
Haven't been posting because I'm on vacation in Orlando. Just got back from Medieval Times and it was nicer than I though it would be. Before I left home to come to Florida, I was able to finish my first logo treatment for the Knights. I still don't see any connection with that name in the sense that Benson, or most of us want's it to have to the city, but design wise, I can see the potential in that name for any teams possibilities.
I talked to the guy who was the knight for our section, ironically, the black and gold section, Navarra. I told him that I was from New Orleans and that I plannend on using this dinner/show as a means to get some up close and personal inspiration for my concept. His reply was "That's nice. But what are Knight's connection to your city? I thought you guy's were all about France."
I told him that other than sounding cool, nothing really! I told him about some of the other names being discussed and he said that he liked Krewe, said it was unique (once I explained it's meaning), and his reply to Pelicans...."Bloody awful!" "Wicked, bloody awful!"....yeah, he's British. "The name" I asked? "No, no those buggers are wicked little creatures!"
At this point I'm laughing! Dudes expressions were so funny much less than me already feeling like I'm in a scene from Harry Potter. He proceeds to tell me about an instance back home when a pelican attacked him and a friend on a boardwalk. He said that it perched itsself on his bike and wouldn't move even though they threw food at it. It snapped at him and just flew up around them slapping them with it's wings!
When he finished, he asked why was that particular name an option and I told him that it was our state bird. He said that he really didn't follow basketball, that be was a soccer guy, but that it should be a teams name, especially if an owner (told him about Benson's comments), wanted it to be more about the people. I told him that most people tend to think that a pelican is a weak animal. He said "They wouldn't feel that way if it sat on their bike!"
I couldn't do anything but laugh again. I shook his hand, he signed my daughters flag, and before we left, he showed me a suit of armour in the hall that he said could be a nice design since it had fdl's on it and those were a part of our city. All around nice guy with a great story and input outside of our city. And on a side note, the king was clad in black and metallic gold, and there was a royal blue knight with solid metallic gold trim and all fdl's.
I literally can't think of any better response.
Pelicans just don't care, man.

Haha nice story Dub. Pelicans are scary as heck, but most people arn't aware. Heck, I wasn't even really aware until it became an option for the team name.

I got a question for one of the higher ups on here, I signed up for the tourney, it showed up in my back account, BUT, it didnt add the $10 non member fee and I am not showing up on the list. How do I pay my ten bucks? Could this be a reason I am not on the list yet? And if it doesnt get settled in time will i loss out on the being one of the first 50 and getting the shirt?
When did you sign up online? I have noticed that it takes a few days for names to show up on the list. For your other questions I would get in touch with Jennifer and ask her. She is the TD for this event and should be able to answer more questions.

I just checked again and Im on the list... now I just gotta pay my ten dollars, I wasnt trying to get over on anybody, it just didnt go on on there.
The place looks awesome but damn the mud.
Does anyone know if there' a waiting list for tomorrow, and if so how many people are on it? I had no idea the tournament would fill up and was going to sign up yesterday, but it was too late.
"That's what she said."----Michael Scott
Not sure how many people are on the list but Jennifer did say they started one . This was what she said on the Allstars board: "If you want to get in please email me asap or call at 502-six one nine - 3802 (leave a message if I don't answer)."

AST Transformations
Although at times, it may sound like a good idea to extend the syntax of Groovy to implement new features (like this is the case for instance for multiple assignments), most of the time, we can't just add a new keyword to the grammar, or create some new syntax construct to represent a new concept. However, with the idea of AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) Transformations, we are able to tackle new and innovative ideas without necessary grammar changes.
When the Groovy compiler compiles Groovy scripts and classes, at some point in the process, the source code will end up being represented in memory in the form of a Concrete Syntax Tree, then transformed into an Abstract Syntax Tree. The purpose of AST Transformations is to let developers hook into the compilation process to be able to modify the AST before it is turned into bytecode that will be run by the JVM.
AST Transformations provides Groovy with improved compile-time metaprogramming capabilities allowing powerful flexibility at the language level, without a runtime performance penalty.
There are two kinds of transformations: global and local transformations.
- Global transformations are applied to by the compiler on the code being compiled, wherever the transformation apply. A JAR added to the classpath of the compiler should contain a service locator file at META-INF/services/org.codehaus.groovy.transform.ASTTransformation with a line with the name of the transformation class. The transformation class must have a no-args constructor and implement the org.codehaus.groovy.transform.ASTTransformationinterface. It will be run against every source in the compilation, so be sure to not create transformations which scan all the AST in an expansive and time-consuming manner, to keep the compiler fast.
- Local transformations are transformations applied locally by annotating code elements you want to transform. For this, we reuse the annotation notation, and those annotations should implement org.codehaus.groovy.transform.ASTTransformation. The compiler will discover them and apply the transformation on these code elements.
One hook for accessing this capability is via annotations (for local AST transformations). In your Groovy code you will make use of one of more annotations. Behind the scenes, an AST processor relevant to the annotation you are using is inserted into the compiler phases at the appropriate point. You can explore some of the more popular Annotations below:
Grape also provides its own transformation with @Grab.
Implementing your own AST Transformations
There are two kinds of AST Transformations, local and global transformations:
- implementing a Global AST Transformations
- implementing a local AST transformation
When writing an AST Transformation, you may find the following guides helpful:

Fair Trade
Fair Trade
Fair trade is a system of exchange that seeks to create greater equity and partnership in international trading by ensuring safe working conditions and prompt, fair wages for workers.
Fair trade sales and consumer awareness have increased tremendously in recent years, as the range of fair trade products has also expanded. Handmade items include lace, home décor, clothing, sports equipment, toys and other items. From its initial focus on coffee, fair trade product certification has expanded to tea, chocolate, sugar, vanilla, fruit, wine and more. In 2006, IFAT reported that total fair trade sales topped $2.6 billion.
Fair trade continues to move forward across the globe, because of the efforts of consumers, entrepreneurs, non-governmental organizations and other communities. It has a tremendous impact on communities worldwide: children's school fees are paid, nutritional needs met, healthcare costs covered, the poor (especially women) are empowered and the environmental impact of production and transport is mitigated to the fullest extent possible.

Going Home (Inpatient Discharge)
Leaving the Hospital after Major Surgery
Leaving the hospital after major surgery is a natural source of anxiety both for patients who have had surgery, as well as for their families who will need to provide additional support during the remainder of the recovery period.
At the time of hospital discharge, most people are able to walk without assistance, eat a normal diet, and have normal bowel and bladder function. There is usually some pain from the surgical incision, and pain medication will be provided to you to make you more comfortable as this pain subsides.
Activity Restriction
The only restriction on activity after leaving the hospital is to avoid lifting objects weighing more than 10 pounds, or straining the abdominal muscles an equivalent amount, for a total of six weeks following your operation. This is to allow the abdominal wall to regain sufficient strength so as not to form a weak area, or hernia, in the deep layers of the incision when normal activities are finally resumed. Climbing stairs, riding in a car, walking up and down hills and other activities are to be encouraged, not avoided.
Pain Medication
Take pain medication as prescribed. There is no virtue in trying to "tough it out" without medication. It is most helpful to take TWO kinds of pain medicine:
- First, a "non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent" such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve, Naprosyn) to minimize inflammation and pain. We recommend ibuprofen 3 tablets (a total of 600 mg) every 6 hours, whether or not you have pain, for a week or two, until your pain is minimal. The object of this is to keep the pain away, rather than waiting for the pain to build up and then try to make it go away. These medications do not require a prescription, and should be purchased in any drug store or supermarket.
- Second, you will receive a prescription for a narcotic pain medication. This should be taken every 3-4 hours as needed for pain. Narcotic medication can cause constipation and other side effects. Taking a "non-steroidal" medication, as recommended above, will likely decrease the amount and length of time you require narcotic pain medicine, and reduce the side effects of these medications.
Removing Staples
At the time of discharge, your incision will usually be held together with surgical staples, or if these have been removed, little white strips of paper tape will be present. If staples are present, these will be removed in your doctor's office several days after your discharge. Both the staples and the tape are waterproof and showering or bathing can be performed as usual; there is no need to vigorously clean the incision or tape area. The tapes will fall off with time, and there is no harm in this. The incision seals itself against infection within 24 hours of surgery, so there is no need to cover it with a dressing unless the rubbing of your clothes on it is uncomfortable. In that case, a light piece of gauze held in place with paper tape is all that is necessary.
Bowel movement
Bowel movements usually will return to normal within a few weeks after surgery. Prior to that time, it is common to have stools slightly looser and more frequent than normal. Pain medications which contain codeine or similar narcotic drugs tend to slow down the intestine and cause constipation, but generally they provide more pain relief than pain medicines not containing these drugs. If constipation is a problem, Milk of Magnesia is a gentle, safe laxative which can be taken; it comes as pills or liquid, and the proper dose is 2-3 tablespoons of the liquid or 2 tablets, as needed.
A "bulk laxative" containing a bran or psyllium seed preparation is often helpful in making the bowel movements more normal during the month or two following surgery. Such "bulk laxatives", such as Konsyl, Metamucil, Citrucel, Hydrocil, Fibercon and the like, are available at any drug store and most grocery stores, without a prescription, and should be taken once a day. They may cause some bloating initially, but this will improve after a few days.
Energy Level
Many people mention that their energy level is low after surgery, and this is perfectly normal. After all, with several days not eating food and lying in bed, this is not uncommon even without the stress of surgery. A nap or two during the day, for the first few weeks after surgery, is often helpful. Energy will gradually return to its presurgical level or higher, usually after one to two months, depending on the individual. Despite one's natural impatience, there is no medication or activity which will hurry this process; nature simply will take its own sweet time in getting you better.
Eating a balanced diet and avoiding becoming overly tired will allow this process to proceed normally.
Getting back to work
How soon a person can go back to work depends in part on the kind of job a person has and how quickly one feels up to returning. When a person works at a job requiring minimal physical exertion, sometimes work can be resumed in 3-4 weeks, again depending on how fast the energy level returns to normal. Obviously, if a job involves heavy lifting or long hours of exertion, one should wait a minimum of six weeks (or sometimes longer, depending on the return of energy) before beginning to work again. Returning to work part time for a week or two, when possible, can provide a good transition to a full time job.
Intercourse can be resumed as soon as a person feels up to it. Some discomfort in the incision is usually felt, but this is not harmful. Sometimes a soft article of clothing over the incision improves comfort until complete healing occurs.
Managing Complications
While most complications of surgery occur in the hospital, occasionally some develop after a patient is discharged. Signs to watch for are fever (more than 100 degrees F), nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation for more than two days, burning on urination and increasing pain in the incision or abdomen. If you believe you have one or more of these signs, or simply have a question for the medical assistant or the doctor, please do not hesitate to call our office at 206-386-6600. There is always a doctor on call for emergencies after office hours and on weekends and holidays.

With Jacksonville having lost three straight to rival White Oak, Jacksonville quarterback Vincent Siders had grown tired of hearing the lament of fellow students and fans complaining about the Cardinals' recent struggles against the Vikings.
"Plenty of people talk about it," Siders said. "They always talk about us losing to White Oak. We just wanted to change something."
Change something the Cardinals did Friday night.
With Siders rushing for 143 yards and 3 touchdowns and his older brother Tyshaun Siders adding a 50-yard touchdown run, Jacksonville defeated White Oak 28-13 in the regular-season finale for both teams.
"Long time coming," the younger Siders said.
With the win Jacksonville finishes 7-4 overall and tied for third in the Coastal 3-A Conference with West Craven at 4-3. But the Cardinals will be the No. 3 seed in the NCHSAA playoffs because they beat West Craven 23-21 on Oct. 5.
White Oak finishes 1-10 and 1-6, with its only win via a forfeit.
Each of Jacksonville's four touchdowns came on plays of 20 yards or more on four possessions that took a total of 11 plays. Because of that, the Vikings actually had more yards (353 to 274) and more plays (63 to 37).
But White Oak also had three turnovers, including two interceptions, while Jacksonville didn't have any while scoring on its first two possessions of the game and its first two series in the third quarter to go up 28-0.
White Oak scored both its touchdowns in the final 6:54 on runs of 37 and 5 yards by senior running back Steven Moses, who finished with 183 yards on 21 carries, with all but 13 of those yards coming in the second half.
"We played good in spurts," Jacksonville coach Beau Williams said. "Then we kind of settled down and didn't play as well as we should have to get to where we need to be in the playoffs. So we got to pick up our pace in practice and games."
While pleased with how his team started, he was "not happy at all" with how it finished as it almost seemed on cruise control after scoring twice early in the game and again twice early in the third quarter.
"We kind of got sloppy toward the end," Williams said. "The kids from White Oak kept on fighting. They fought as hard as they could. Not that we took it off, but we played sloppy toward the end."
The Vikings were able to move the ball, but inopportune penalties and turnovers, along with Jacksonville's defense, kept White Oak at bay. WOHS had first downs at the Jacksonville 21, 46, 31, 36, 23 and 44 but managed only two late touchdowns.
"It's been like that all year," first-year coach Chad Ashley said with a heavy sigh. "We do some good things and get a drive going and we shoot ourselves in the foot. We turn the ball over. We do something to hurt us. These teams we're playing, they're out there playing, too. I won't say they're not the cause for some of it, but we're a cause for a lot of it.
"We competed. That's all you can ask. We still have a lot of mistakes that we keep making. It's plagued us all year, and it plagued us against tonight. But give those guys credit. They've been pretty good on defense all year long. That has something to do with it, too."
White Oak's first drive was typical of the night for the Vikings, who methodically marched from their 20 to the Jacksonville 15, but a holding penalty and a 6-yard loss on a run led to a fourth-and-22 at the JHS 33. And that led to Danny Russell picking off Elijah Harris' pass to end the threat.
It took the Cardinals only five plays to make it 7-0. On second-and-11 at midfield, Tyshaun Siders burst through a big hole in the middle off a trap block and raced 50 yards with 4:14 left in the first quarter.
After a three-and-out by WOHS, the Cardinals took just two plays to make it 14-0 when the younger Siders started right on the option, opted not to pitch but rather to reverse his field and then used his 4.4 speed to race untouched into the end zone on a 35-yard run with 1:29 left in the opening quarter.
"Everybody flowed (one way)," Siders said. "So I just planted and cut back across field."
That score held until Jacksonville scored early in the third quarter after White Oak's onside kick went out of bounds at midfield. On the second snap from scrimmage, Vincent Siders escaped two would-be tacklers in the backfield and outran everyone else for a 38-yard touchdown to make it 21-0 just 40 seconds into the third quarter.
The Cardinals' final TD was set up by Nathan Ellerbee's interception at the WOHS 47. After a 27-yard run by the younger Siders in which he slipped three or four tacklers, he bolted 20 yards on the next play for the score to make it 28-0 with 7:49 left in the third quarter.
Time and again the Vikings were no match for Siders' speed.
"We go against these guys a lot in track season," he said, "and we know they can't run with us."
With the win, the Cardinals finished with seven wins, the most since they went 9-4 in 2004. And while pleased with his team's performance, Siders said it could have been even better.
"We shouldn't have seven wins. We should have way more than seven. We gave up a couple games," he said. "Next week we won't give up that one up. I tell you that, we won't give up that one."

Softball Battles Back for Split with Francis Marion
April 1, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Francis Marion and Pfeiffer Universitys split a non-conference softball doubleheader on Thursday afternoon at Jack Ingram Field. The Patriots scored nine unanswered in a 9-1 win before Pfeiffer bounced back for a 2-1 win in the nightcap. The Lady Falcons move to 15-25 on the season while Francis Marion improves to 28-11.
GAME ONE: Francis Marion 9, Pfeiffer 1 (5)
Pfeiffer struck first in the opener with their lone coming in via base hit by Sarah Waylock (Cary, IL). Amber Johnson (Spokane, WA) scored on the play due to a Patriot throwing error to third. The Patriots responded with three in the second to start their nine unanswered as Meghan Heiser (Sacramento, CA) scored Michaela Wolf (Littleton, CO) with a single to right. Jessica Birchmeier (Port Richey, FL) plated later on a wild pitch while Olivia Ferguson (Roanoke, VA) picked up the other RBI with a double to left.
Two more Francis Marion runs came around in the third on a pair of Lady Falcon errors as Wolf again scored on an outfield throwing error in front of Jessica Hogan (Asheboro, NC) plating on a dropped pop up. Ashley Jaramillo (Canyon Country, CA) started the four-run fourth with a two-run double to center before Birchmeier and Heiser finished off Pfeiffer with RBI later in the frame.
GAME TWO: Pfeiffer 2, Francis Marion 1
Mikaela Strickland (Bonifay, FL) put the Lady Falcons on the board in the second of game two with a two-out RBI single to right. Heather Nobles (Angier, NC) gave the Lady Falcons their eventual game-winning run with her eighth home run of the season on an opposite field shot to right.
The Patriots lone run came in the top of the fifth as Hogan led off with a triple to center and scoring immediately on Birchmeier sacrifice-fly to left. Francis Marion had the bases-loaded with one out in the seventh but had an interference call between second and third followed by a pop out to second to end the game.
Pfeiffer returns to action on Saturday afternoon traveling to Anderson for a Conference Carolinas make-up doubleheader. First pitch in game one is slated for 2:00 p.m.

Swedish Vallhund
Physical Characteristics
Breed Group:
The Swedish Vallhund is a member of the Herding Group.
25-35 lbs.
Male: 12.5-13.5 inches; female: 11.5-12.5 inches at withers
The coat is a sable pattern in gray through red and combinations such as red-yellow, red-brown and gray-brown.
The Swedish Vallhund sports a harsh, medium length double coat. The soft undercoat is dense; the close outer coat is tight.
The energetic Swedish Vallhund is responsive and steady. This fearless breed wears an intelligent and alert expression.
Country of Origin:
The Swedish Vallhund may have roots traced to the Viking days when it was known as the Viking Dog. This breed may have a Welsh connection with the possibility the Swedish Vallhund landed in Wales or the Corgi landed in Sweden. On farms and ranches, they were adept at cattle and sheep herding, cattle droving and ratting. In 1942 the Vallhund almost suffered extinction, but revived as a rare breed.
Vallhund means "Herding Dog." Vastgotaspets, Vaestgoetaspets, Vallhund, Swedish Cattle Hound, Swedish Cattle Dog, Swedish Shepherd.
The affectionate Vallhund is friendly and eager to please. This breed is watchful and reserved with strangers. Families will get to know their sense of humor.
Provide training and socializing when they are young. With their history as herding dogs, they might try to herd people.
These extremely active dogs enjoy herding and agility exercises. They can take part in show, obedience and tracking events.
Owners should encourage their dog to stay active. This devoted companion loves human interaction. Although they do well with considerate children, they may show aggression to other dogs. Their barking makes them a good alarm dog cautious of strangers. Be aware that some dogs may try to herd people like cattle. This small dog will want to protect his family home, no matter how large.
No breeders listed at this time.

It's the end of the road for Copper on BBC America. The cable channel has announced that the show has been cancelled after two seasons. The cancellation comes following the show's modest ratings.
In a statement, BBC America GM Perry Simon said, "The opportunity to work with Tom Fontana, Barry Levinson, Will Rokos, Thomas Kelly and the extraordinary cast and crew on this journey is one that we are extremely proud of."
He continued, "Their vision to retell the immigrant experience through the melting pot of New York City was an original and fresh idea that melded well with the essence of BBC America's programming. After 23 episodes, with Lincoln dead and the nation starting to heal, it seems a fitting moment to conclude this American story."
The de facto series finale will air this Sunday. It's called "The Place I Called My Home."
What do you think? Are you sorry to hear there won't be a third season of Copper? How would you have ended the series?

Maybe it's the combination of Iso E Super WITH something else? Or maybe it's that something else entirely? I sure don't know... but I am curious.
Thread: Molecule 01
Certainly Molecule 01 is a very interesting fragrance regardless it only contains or for the most part ISO E Super. I am regaining interests because I tried it again not long ago and my wife thought it was an amazing fragrance. She is not very open about my fragrances only when she does not like it but with Molecule 01 she is rather enthusiastic. The strangest thing is that, in the past, fragrances loaded with ISO E Super used to give me a headache for instance Terre and Encre Noire however Molecule 01 does not... unless I am going mad.
The sillage is of epic proportions as I was wearing an scarf that, after two weeks, still has a silky sublet cedar smell. I guess my initial reluctance to spend money in a one ingredient fragrance is not really justified anymore and I will be pulling the trigger.
The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.
Maybe it's the combination of Iso E Super WITH something else? Or maybe it's that something else entirely? I sure don't know... but I am curious.
Anybody have a sample of Martin Margiela Untitled or Untitled L'Eau? I'm dying to smell these and I've got lots of great niche samples to swap!
"Follow your nose. It always knows." -- Toucan Sam
I am glad to learn that someone else is experiencing the same. I have never smelled ISO E Super in its purest form but Molecule 01 so it must be the cocktail what bothers me and not necessarily ISO E
The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.
I can't smell Molecule 01 within seconds of spraying it! am I the only one?
it seems Molecule 01 is well known for not being smelled by the wearer but by the others.
The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.
Nice frag. Enjoy bro!
I agree with everything you said. Its amazing. Its so smooth and natural feeling. The best cedar smell hands down with something else magical happening. The stuff lasts and lasts. I can put on my jacket and smell it from days prior. It puts a smile on my face to catch whiffs like that from things I've worn. I'll never be without a bottle. I'm tempted to even spray it around the apartment. I've even had compliments on it.
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
I really don't want to try Molecule 01...I feel it might ruin certain other fragrances for me.
Stealth scent for me. Doused myself in it, couldn't smell a thing. Tried again, same result. Gave up.
I like it. I've used it from a sample vial and I could smell it on me for maybe 2 hours. (after that ,I didn't ask if anyone smell anything on me) ,but during that time I got a nice compliment. It reminds me of Eau Divine by Divine ( also from a sample vial I had 2 years ago , which I really liked it)
I don't get it. In theory, couldn't one make themselves a large bottle of this for around $10?
This is a scent that you wear for others and not for yourself to enjoy since you won't be able to smell it.
I wore this yesterday and the day before. I still smell it on my coat. I love it! I got my bottle last year for half the price.
Luca once sent me some pure Iso-E. It's much deeper smelling when it's not diluted down, I feel that the dilution in alcohol helps it to 'blossom'.
Fine fragrance is alive; it breathes, unfolds and unravels with each passing hour....
Roja Dove
I assume there is something else but ISO E Super and alcohol. Isn't it?
The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.

The scent molecule "Iso e super" is a larger molecule comparatively. For this reason it is primarily used as a base in fragrances. We all know that bases are bases because they outlast the other notes. IT's why citrus is often complained about for being short lived. Well, Iso E super is a larger molecule and it has a tendency to "bombard and overwhelm" the scent receptors in our brain. Often without us even knowing it! People who wear Molecule 01 will tell you that the scent is meant to be smelled on you by others, not smelled by you. They will also confirm that they will not smell it most of the day, however, from time to time, they will catch whiffs of the sweet woody, soapy, airy scent.
Most people want to smell the scent on themselves and this fragrance is NOT for that kind of wearer. It's especially good for situations like school, work, the bus, a meeting, where you are likely to be in close quarters with others. No one wants to be stuck around someone whose bathed in Grey Flannel this morning, and what you perceive as a good scent, others may not. Molecule 01 works excellently for this situation because the people are likely to smell it on you when you enter the room or pass by them...maybe even for a few moments when you first are near them, but just like it did for you, the scent will seemingly fade away to invisibility to them too. Making the perfect "close quarters scent".
For my friends who have never yet smelled Molecule 01... either because they have not had occasion to, or because they tried it and smelled nothing immediately after putting it on, allow me to make a recommendation to help.
--Take your bottle, or sample or atomizer of Molecule 01 and spray a couple sprays onto a hand towel clean t-shirt or pillow. Remember where you sprayed it and set it aside to dry for a few hours, or overnight. The next day, bury your nose into the spot where you had liberally sprayed the juice. NOW, do you smell that!??
Given the time to unwind and break down a little, the scent should be more easily detectable to your nose. To me it smells like someone took the washing machine filled it with clean white cotton t-shirts, water, old school detergent suds, some wood chips and the lightest bit of musk. It's really not loud at all. It is also really "safe", the scent is not overbearing in any department. It's just pleasant and simple the way the earth smells after a rainstorm. The smell is present, and detectable, but not way turned up.
I have a small surplus of Molecule 01, because I buy it whenever occasion permits. If anyone wants to try it, PM me and if you pay for the postage, I will send you a vial or two for free to try.
I bought a sample along with many others from Walkdogg a week ago. I catch a fleeting whiff then it's gone. What I like about it, is that it amplifies other fragrances. If I apply it, let it dry, then put on something like Penhaligon's that smells nice but sits close to the skin, it helps it project better. Alone it smells like alcohol and faint cedar. My thing is that it just goes to show that the fragrance world can put a $2 ingredient in a $1 bottle and sell it for $135. Capitalism at it's best!

2 questions:
1. @walkdog (or anyone else). Have you actually tried/compared molecule 01 to homemade ISO E Super diluted? I've heard mixed results but it sound like it should work the same.
2. More of a general question based one the first but is the molecule 01 bottle refillable or is it sealed? I actually like the bottle and wouldn't be adverse to rewarding them for coming up with the fragrance but in the long term I don't think bottle art would justify the huge markup (especially over time). Then again I completely understand if you cannot as an anti-fraud/reselling measure.
Sounds like I need to give it a go since my wife is the same way. SHe will certainly let me know when she does like what I'm wearing (which is most of the time), but it's hard to find something that we both agree on.
I get a headache from Terre too, but not Encre Noire, which I think has even more Iso e Super in it than does Terre.
But as a Perfumer, I can tell you that it is not the Iso E Super giving me the headaches... will be something else.
(Since I have the uncut stuff here to smell.) I've been testing out the newer improved molecule version of the Iso E Super...
And I have wiped a tiny bit on my shirt when handling the liquid. It has a nice fragrance when I smell it, but it's also not right on my face... It's such a large molecule, that for people who can't seem to smell Molecule 1, it might help to wear it farther from your face.
(Not having had Molecule 1 analyzed) I also wonder if there isn't a tiny bit of some other things in it to liven it up a tiny bit...

I'm unconvinced.
I believe some of us are truly anosmic to this molecule. Since when would a large molecule be only detectable when first wafted to the nose (only) OR after a period of time has elapsed? I am unaware of this phenomenon with any other large molecules, many of which are perfectly detectable whenever one takes a whiff of one. The size of a molecule plays some role in its diffusion, but does not make it magical. Why would this one molecule behave differently from every other scent molecule with which I have come in contact? It makes much more sense to me that some of us lack the specific receptors to pick up anything but the faintest trace of something, maybe. There are plenty of examples in the literature of chemicals which some people can detect and others cannot.
I'll have to try this since I love the Iso in Terre and I love cedar. Though I'd have to pass if it was just for others and I didn't detect it.
"As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round."
--Ben Hogan
I don't believe that certain individuals lack a specific receptor no more than a person lacks a gene for green hair. In the case of hair, the gene is simply not turned on. In the case of the receptor, I feel it is there but perhaps another phenomenon is at play. Ever wonder why a smoker can't recognize their own bad breath or how that smell stinks until they quit? Perhaps the receptors are being bombarded by more robust, daily chemicals that diminish the sensitivity of the receptor to chemicals of certain size. There is also the issue of nasogastric construction and sinus/allergy scenarios. It could be that active cytokine mediation has chronically inflamed portions in key regions of the olfactory canal. Olfaception can be altered depending on physiology and environment, among other possible sources.
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
I own this, and like it quite a bit.
First, scent molecules are complex. They bind to multiple olfactory receptors with differing affinity, ie. there is no "Vanilla" receptor, or "Rose" receptor, but the combination of binding to multiple receptors causes a cascade of electrical signals to go to the brain where it is 'interpreted' There are about 900 olfactory related genes identified in humans, dogs and other canines have many more and can detect smells 10,000 weaker than humans! I don't know much about some people not being able to smell certain things, but I do know it is scientifically proven that certain scents are "invisible" to certain people. Couple that with things like smoking, or living in a polluted environment full of other smells, and something as subtle but pervasive as Iso E Super may go undetected. It is in fact very strong in "whiffs and waves" to me, even at light application, but it dances and hides, coming out at unexpected times. It smells like pepper and sort of like Black Tourmaline's "ground stone" smell to me.

I really can't think of an example of a situation where i don't seem to be smelling anything in particular, and I stick my nose right up to a chemical and take multiple whiffs of it, and I can't smell it, unless the chemical has no smell for me. Robust, daily chemicals that block the receptors? Continuously? Well, if a receptor is continuously blocked all the time, it really wouldn't matter if I had the receptor, since I will never be able to use it, and therefore will not be able to smell the molecules that might land there. Essentially, it is the same as saying I don't have the receptor, since a continuously blocked receptor is no receptor at all. Olfaction can be affected by nasal inflammation, physiology, and environment, but my question is why a group of people who can smell most all other everyday chemicals, cannot smell this one. I have no other evident symptoms of inflammation or nasal allergies, but I can not smell this molecule except for possibly in the faintest way, ever.
I do NOT believe we have a specific unique receptor for each and every different scent molecule. I do believe that the scientific evidence has shown that we have many different receptors and not every person has the exact same set of receptors. For us to smell something, it has to fit one of the many receptors we have. If someone has no receptors that are able to bind a molecule, they can not smell it. If they have a receptor or two that can bind only part of a chemical or only weakly, they may not be able to smell it well, while someone who has receptors that can bind more of the "scent-active" parts of a chemical may smell it robustly.
I've read similar articles...and believe that if they spend only $3 on ingredients, they could spend another 50 cents and make it a bit more projective, or last a wee bit longer. It is no excuse to pay $400 for something that won't last 4 hours. For all the complaining we (myself included) do about Bond no. 9, they give you a powerhouse for your $3 juice!

Also, the fact that they can smell it initially means they have receptors that detect it and work just fine. Desensitization or some other explanations is more likely, me thinks. Hey man, just my thought.
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
Molecule 01 is such an interesting fragrance. Yeah, we all know it's just Iso E Super, diluted. And most know that Iso E Super is a large molecule some people have trouble smelling. I think that is what lead to the silliness surrounding this scent.
One incorrect assumption about Molecule 01: Since you won't be able to smell it, Molecule 01 is a scent you wear for others, not yourself. That's only true if you can't smell it. I have no trouble smelling it, and I'm sure that's true for many (if not most) who own it. Why would anyone buy a scent they can't smell, right? I sometimes get bored of it after a while though since it doesn't evolve.
Another false assumption: It doesn't last, comes and goes, has poor longevity, no projection, etc etc etc. Molecule 01 lasts a long time on skin, and it lasts ages on clothing. I assume that since some can't smell it, they mistakenly believe it doesn't last.
Also not true: Women will follow you around to find out what you're wearing because this stuff is almost magical. That's just silly, but some believe it. Like any other fragrance, Molecule 01 is just a smell. It's a synthetic smell that was created in a lab. Some will love it, some will be indifferent, and some will dislike it. Personally, I enjoy it, but I wore it quite a bit in the fall and had mixed results. One woman went crazy over it, another didn't like it at all. A friend couldn't smell it, and others seemed somewhat indifferent. Molecule 01 is good stuff, but it's no magic bullet.
One more false assumption: It's impossible to over-apply Molecule 01. Again, that's incorrect. It's a fragrance, and like any fragrance, it's not hard to overdo it, especially if your body heats up. The day I got my sample of Molecule 01, I put it on around 6PM. I woke up in the middle of the night and felt like I was drowning in the stuff. I'm a hot sleeper. As my body heated up, the stuff started projecting like crazy, and I'm pretty sure I was woken up by the smell. It was like a giant cloud.
I think many people are going to get tricked into the silly mythology developing around this scent, and many fools will be parted from their money only to regret buying into the hype. But there will also be people wise enough to base their purchases on whether they enjoy the smell of the stuff, and I think fans of woody scents not to mention simple or minimal scents might become big fans of Molecule 01. I'm somewhere in between like and love. The less I wear it, the more I enjoy it, since it's easy to get tired of this one due to the simplicity of it. Sure, Iso E Super is a complex molecule, but it's nowhere near as complex as fragrances made up of many notes that evolve in various stages.
Would I recommend it? For people who love woods: yes. For people looking for the next bandwagon to hop on: no. For people who enjoy minimalism. Definitely maybe (grin). Molecule 01 has such a specific scent that you really have to try before you buy.
Bottom line:
- Don't buy into the hype.
- Smell it for yourself and let your nose decide. Your nose knows.

I can't say about Molecule 1, but I bought that aforementioned bottle of dilluted Iso E Super from that seller in the UK, just to identlify what it smelled like. Well, I can say loudly that I HATE it. To me, it's the epitome of the synthetic, plasticy smell that I don't want to encounter in any perfume.

If they actually read it, they would have just put "reply with quote" and typed "I agree!" I'm NOT picking on any one person here, I guess I've done it too.

One thing I find weird is that most of my favorite perfumes are loaded with iso E super (according to basenoters) but I'm still not sure what this "ISO E SUPER" thing smells like!!!
- - - Updated - - -
I looked through my samples and found a sample of Escentric 01 which is supposed to be even more concentrated than Molecule 01. I tried it and was able to actually smell something... I smelled citrus and pepper and "maybe" a hint of musk, it does share something with terre d'hermes but it was still a skin scent and didn't project at all.
Do you like Escentric 01? I haven't had the chance to smell that one yet. I think it'd be neat to get an opinion of Escentric 01 from someone who can't smell Iso E Super. It'd be a completely different scent. Escentric 01 and 02 are scents I need to get samples of sometime!

I don't think it's anything that special on its own and understand how some view it as having an annoying, suffocating characteristic when really ramped-up in a composition.
65% means that 65% of Escentric 01 is Iso E Super before dilution. Molecule 01 would be 100% Iso E Super before dilution. The whole "before dilution" thing is where it always gets confusing. People often say a fragrance is 20% Iso E Super (for example) but that really means 20% of the undiluted solution is Iso E Super. Nobody sells undiluted perfume. That'd be strong to the point where it wouldn't be wearable and potentially dangerous too. I think Terre D'Hermes is something like 20% Iso E Super, but really, it'd be 20% of the entire fragrance before being diluted down to either EdT or EdP strength, depending on which you buy.
[EDIT] Terre is 55% Iso E Super?! WOW! Thanks for that list DuNezDeBuzier. Great stuff!

And Amouage, and Frederic Malle, and Serge Lutens, and Durbano, and (probably the worst offender) By Kilian, and basically every house out there. It's not just Creed and Bond.Creed and Bond no. 9 are examples of two companies who do a great job of convincing us to shell out $200 for $4 worth of ingredients and a bottle (which almost always costs more than the juice to manufacture) I'm not saying it is wrong per se, but You must admit, there was little/no research and development behind dropping 10ml Super Iso E into 90mls of alcohol and charging $130!!!

Forgot I had a sample of this and recently got around to trying it today.... Oh man, its crazy to me to think that people cant smell this. Its been on for a few hours and its blasting off my skin. I feel like im gonna have to scrub it off to try to tone it down as it is right now. Maybe my nose is just sensitive to it. For what its worth to me this smells like sweet plastic, and then deeper into the fragrance ceder sorta wood chip kinda smell.
Doesnt do anything for me personally as it is. I guess assuming it stays like this for hours and hours performance wise its good. Not something I would buy off hand myself, but maybe if I noticed it getting good compliments etc it might be worth a decant.
I tried it out at Barney's, one of the SA's spray it on himself and I couldn't smell anything.

The fact that iso e is an ingredient in perfumary rather than a complete fragrance itself explains why many people cant really smell it on themselves but others can smell it on them. I gather it is used to amp up and heighten other scents therefore when we wear it it heightens our own unique scent - this may not be very perceptible to ourselves (as we live with our own scent constantly), but bodes well if it is loved by our loved ones or others.
I guess this may be a grain of truth in the 'pheromone' marketing angle.
Personally not going to go and buy a full bottle. But then I wouldn't go to the bakers and buy yeast when I want a loaf of bread. May try to score a homemade sample to experiment further.
I didn't want to start a new thread on this, so I'm digging this one up!
I just received a bunch of samples, one of which is Molecule 01. First impression, I like it. I'm waiting for my GF to get home to give me her opinion, but I can definitely catch a whiff of it here or there. I definitely get what people meant when they said it had a warm and woody vibe, it's extremely pleasant to smell. It kind of reminds me of my fathers workshop at home on a summer day.
I've read previously that it's not just iso-e, but there were other notes in it. Does anyone know if this is the case? I'm really liking this, and I definitely could see myself buying the refill for it to have around, assuming it passes my wearing it a few times.

Molecule 01 is only two things: Iso E Super and Alcohol. No other ingredients at all. You can make your own quite cheaply, and the home made stuff would actually be a tiny bit higher quality since they use perfumer's alcohol. Perfumer's alcohol has additives to prevent it from being taxed as an alcoholic beverage (thus increasing the price substantially). Everclear is actually a more pure form of alcohol, though I don't know if you'd smell a difference.
Be careful when wearing Molecule 01. It's easy to go overboard with spraying if you have any trouble smelling it - the stuff projects more than many people realize.
Molecule 01 is great, but I gave up on it. Since it's so simple, it can get boring. I like fragrances with detectable top/heart/base notes. I enjoy the stages and how the scent can change through the day. Molecule 01 only has one note (plus the alcohol it's diluted in), so there's no change. It's the most linear of linear scents.
Also, beware of any reviews where people talk about it like they're at Hogwarts. People say things like "You can't smell it when you wear it, but everyone else can." That's science fiction. Because it's so linear, Molecule 01 can easily cause olfactory fatigue, and the fact that Iso E Super is a particularly large molecule means some people's sense of smell can't detect it at all. Also: some people say it's pheromones. LOL. No. What it IS is a very nice but very simple fragrance.
If you travel a lot, I'd recommend checking out the travel size. It comes with a metal box to house the bottle, and I have to assume that'd be fantastic for putting in a suitcase since airlines can be brutal with luggage!

Bruce Arena tells Galaxy All-Access podcast that Robbie Keane and Todd Dunivant will play on upcoming road trip
In the latest edition of the LA Galaxy All-Access Podcast with Joe Tutino, Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena offers his perception of Landon Donovan, LA's upcoming road trip as well as other topics.
Landon Donovan drew considerable attention after missing a penalty kick in LA's 1-0 loss to Houston at the weekend, but Arena told Tutino that while his form is still improving, he expects the best from Donovan soon.
"He's getting there. He's not quite where we want him to be, but I think when you have the kind of lay off that he had. It's a little unpredictable how much time that he's going to need to get in form," Arena told All-Access. "I think that he's been with us probably five weeks now, if I'm not mistaken and you can see his improvement. Hopefully, in another five weeks, we're going to see a lot more. Hopefully, he's about to turn the corner and play consistently in each and every game as we move forward."
As for Todd Dunivant and Robbie Keane, Arena is optimistic about their status.
"They're both much improved and I'm sure that they're going to play on this road trip," Arena said.
Listen to the podcast in its entirety below...
CARSON, Calif. -- Chandler Hoffman has yet to make his first team debut since being acquired from the Philadelphia Union in March, but the former UCLA Bruin striker scored his first goal in an LA uniform during the club's 4-3 Reserve League victory on Tuesday.
Read my piece on Hoffman below...
Chandler Hoffman bags first goal for the LA Galaxy as he looks for first team debut.
CARSON, Calif. – Gyasi Zardes took plenty of lickings during the LA Galaxy reserves 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Blues on Monday.
The forward was knocked around by the Blues defenders several times towards goal; he endured a hard collision with goalkeeper Steve Gonzalez just before the end of the first half. Not to be outdone, he was kicked square in the neck in the 49th minute leading to a Hector Jimenez penalty kick that resulted in the game-winning-goal.
However, Zardes did not let a little physicality stop him from scoring a goal and two assists in LA's win.
"It felt so great scoring a goal. I haven't scored a goal in so long so it feels good to score again," said Zardes. "It really does well for our confidence [as a team], but we're steady working together and learning each other like Chandler [Hoffman] up top, our chemistry is just building."
Without a doubt, Zardes was the most dynamic player on the field as his runs seemed too much for the Blues defense and one he exited the match in the 55th minute, the Galaxy attack lost some dimension as the USL Pro side battled back to within one goal of an equalizer.
Ahead of a massive road trip that will see the Galaxy play three games in nine-days, Zardes' performance may lead to even greater minutes with LA's first team.
Gyasi was extremely dangerous in getting in behind [the defense]. He scored a goal, created another goal and was an absolute handful," Galaxy Assistant coach and Reserve League head coach Curt Onalfo said. "I was pleased with his performance and I was a little worried because it was a physical game and he was taking a lot of knocks and that's part of the reason that we took him off early because we want to makes sure that he's in consideration for this weekend."
LAGalaxy.com has provided highlights of the LA Galaxy's 4-3 Reserve League win over USL Pro side Los Angeles Blues.
Check it out below...
CARSON, Calif. -- It looked like it be smooth sailing for the LA Galaxy reserves against the Los Angeles Blues, but a poor second half turned the match into a nailbiter.
The Galaxy entered the 50th minute up 4-0 on the USLPro off goals from Michael Stephens, Chandler Hoffman, Gyasi Zardes and Hector Jimenez, but the Blues roared back with three unanswered goals of their own to end the game 4-3. An own goal by Rafael Garcia in the 52nd minute sparked the rally for the Blues before they pulled to within one with goals from Shay Spitz and Allan Russell.
Zardes and Jimenez both enjoyed stellar matches as each ended the game with one goal and two assists.
The Galaxy's next Reserve League match will see LA once again take on the Blues on June 15 at Titan Stadium on the campus of Cal-State Fullerton.
The LA Galaxy Reserves will take on USLPro side Los Angeles Blues at 7 p.m. at The Home Depot Center Track and Field Stadium.
Fans attending the match can enter The Home Depot Center through Gate A and park in lot 13. But if you can't make it, then you can watch it online at the USLPro website.
I'm expecting to join broadcaster Marc Serber at some point during the match. Be sure to tune in for my comments on the broadcast.

CARSON, Calif. –The U.S. U-20's learned their draw for the upcoming Toulon Tournament in France, which will serve as the final preparation before this summer's 2013 U-20 World Cup in Turkey.
The tournament will feature 10 nations in two five-team groups across a 12-day span. The U.S. was placed in Group A alongside Colombia, Congo DR, South Korea and host France. Meanwhile, Group B includes Belgium, Brazil, Mexico, Nigeria and Portugal.
The U.S. will open the tournament against France on May 28 then take on Colombia on May 30 and Congo DR on June 1. The U-20's will wrap up group play on June 5 against South Korea. If the U.S. win their group or finish second, they will play in either the Championship or third place match depending on their result.
"It's going to be a big step for the U-20's going into that tournament," said LA Galaxy forward and U.S. U-20 regular Jose Villarreal. "It's not really about winning the games; it's about being good as a team and getting ready for Turkey, which is even bigger of a stage for us. Obviously, we gotta perform well to show the people what we got."
During the U-20's recent camp at The Home Depot Center last month, U.S. U-20 head coach Tab Ramos stressed that building a team identity will be key to success not only in France, but in Turkey as well.
"I think one of the things that Tab said during the past camp is that the tournament in France will be about coming together as one team and having each other's backs and making each other a lot better on the field and off the field. That's what we're going to focus on in France," said Villarreal. "We play to win and we want to win the games, but if not, we just have to focus on working together as a team."
Villarreal added that he was hopeful that fellow Galaxy Academy alums—and close personal friends of the LA forward—Jeffrey Payeras and Oscar Sorto will make the squad for Toulon as well as Turkey. The LA Galaxy Academy members may be joined by one high-profile addition as Herta Berlin defender John Anthony Brooks may be considering joining the U.S. U-20's for the tournament in France.
The U.S. U-20 World Cup campaign begins on June 21 against Spain. Ramos' group will round out group play with matches on June 24 against France and Ghana on June 27.
Can the U.S. win the Toulon tournament? Will Sorto and Payeras make the squad?

CARSON, Calif. – Following Sunday's 1-0 defeat to the Houston Dynamo, Sean Franklin wanted one thing: to forget about his showing in the LA Galaxy loss.
The right back was decent on the defensive end, but seemed to struggle with his distribution as six of his seven crosses were unsuccessful while he was also dispossessed a total of 19 times on the night.
After the game, Franklin was brutally honest about his showing.
"I think that my performance wasn't the greatest; I have to do better in the final third and making the right pass and the right crosses," Franklin told LA Galaxy Insider. "I thought defensively I was okay, but my passing and crossing was awful. I just made the right decision knowing late in the game that we need balls in the box. Quality balls, not just balls whipped in, but good service and at the end of the day, I wasn't good enough."
It didn't help that the player that he was assigned to mark, Houston's Andrew Driver enjoyed a strong game that included the game's only goal in the 56th minute of play.
"He's a great player. He's crafty, he's quick. He scored a good goal tonight. I thought in the first half, he was a little bit quiet, but in the second half, he came out and got his goal," said Franklin. "Give their team credit, they got their goal and they defended well. On the day, it was just something that the team and myself need a better game."
This week Franklin will have a chance to redeem himself as the Galaxy hit the road for a three match trip that begins on Saturday against Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
"It's tough, we just have to forget about this one and figure out what we did wrong and get this right," Franklin said. "We have a long week till the game so we have plenty of time to get our mind right."
CARSON, Calif. -- The decision not to award a caution of any color to Tally Hall for his foul on Jose Villarreal that resulted in a penalty kick opportunity that was missed by Landon Donovan drew plenty of heat from LA on Sunday, but on Tuesday, the Professional Referee Organization responded with their complete explaination of the call.
Fourth official Ricardo Salazar gave his explaination of the call after the game, but in PRO's article, the organization gets far more in depth on their decision not to award a caution to Hall.
