Kent State University Museum Opens Exhibit of Civil War Fashion in Observance of the 150th Anniversary of the Civil WarPosted Sep. 27, 2011
The Kent State University Museum will open the exhibition On the Home Front: Civil War Fashions and Domestic Life on Sept. 30, 2011. A special preview reception will be held on Thursday, Sept. 29, from 6 - 8 p.m. in the Museum Library and is free and open to the public. Reservations are requested and should be made by calling 330-672-3450.
On the Home Front focuses on the daily life and experiences of the American civilian population during the Civil War and in the years immediately following. The pieces on exhibit, including women's and children's costumes, supplemented with related photographs, decorative arts and women's magazines are organized thematically. Far from being a simple trivial diversion during such a critical period, fashion provides a unique window into the lived experience of Americans during the Civil War. Despite being far from the battlefields, women and children were deeply and immediately touched by the conflict.
"As Americans observe the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War, the Kent State University Museum will present an exhibit about the material circumstances and domestic life during the Civil War and the years that followed," said Jean Druesedow, director, Kent State University Museum.
One of the highlights of the exhibit is the Keckley quilt, made by Elizabeth Hobbs Keckley, a former slave who served as Mary Todd Lincoln's dressmaker. The quilt is believed to have been made from scraps of Mrs. Lincoln's dresses. Also on exhibit are Civil War uniforms; cloaks and wraps including a paisley shawl; underwear including corsets and crinolines; four wedding dresses; numerous children's outfits; accessories such as bonnets and shoes; and examples of hair jewelry. The exhibition is drawn primarily from the Kent State University Museum's world class collection of historic fashion, and also includes loans from the Western Reserve Historical Society and the Kent State University Libraries, Special Collections and Archives.
The exhibit will be accompanied by a full-color catalogue with close-up detailed images of many of the highlights of the show, available in the Museum Store.
The museum is located at 515 Hilltop Drive, at the corner of East Main and South Lincoln Streets, in Kent, Ohio 44242. The museum is open to the public Wed, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. - 4:45 p.m.; Thursday from 10 a.m. - 8:45 p.m.; Sundays from Noon - 4:45 p.m. Admission is $5.00 for adults, $4.00 for Seniors, $3.00 for children under 18. The museum is free with a Kent State ID, free to the public on Sundays and offers free parking. For more information call 330-672-3450 or visit www.kent.edu/museum.
Other exhibits currently on display:
Beyond Fashion - Fiber and Fashion Art by Vincent Quevedo features the intricate work of well-known local fashion designer and Kent State University professor Vincent Quevedo. The exhibition will run through Feb. 12, 2012 in the Higbee Gallery of the Museum.
Sustainable Fashion: Exploring the Paradox, on exhibit through March 18, 2012 in the Stager and Blum Galleries, is a comprehensive look at sustainable practices in fashion. The multi-billion dollar fashion industry is in a powerful position to make significant changes to the social and physical environment that we all live in. The problems in creating clothing are overwhelming and systemic in all facets of production, retail, maintenance and then disposal, causing a crisis for environmental concerns. The exhibition, curated by Noël Paloma-Lovinski, hopes to inform the general public and encourage everyone to re-think their clothing purchases for a more sustainably stylish future.
The museum, accredited by the American Association of Museums, houses one of the nations most important costume collections including high fashion, from the 17th to 21st centuries, examples of world traditional dress, decorative arts, and paintings.
The museum receives support from an Ohio Arts Council Sustainability Grant.

The incessant marketing would lead you to believe that Valentine's Day is about romance and love. But it creates more anxiety for couples and singles alike than any other holiday. So, here's a refresher on how to survive V-Day, feminism (and self-esteem) in tact:
Don't celebrate Valentine's Day, celebrate the love in your life. This could mean the person you're with, of course, but it could also mean your best friend, your mom, or your dog. Those who give you support, kindness, an always-there shoulder to cry on, and even tail-wagging every time you enter the room deserve to know how much you care for them more often than one day a year. And that goes double for the person with whom you're partnered.
Reject all forms of consumerism tied into this holiday. Not only does no one even need chocolate, roses or jewelry, but supporting these industries this time of year further propogates the idea that coupled love is the only kind of love that matters—and that women should be the ones receiving these trinkets for their service as lovers to men.
Stop watching The Bachelor. Reality television that casts women as desperate for love and willing to do anything to "win" a man—as if it were the ultimate accomplishment a woman could ever make in her lifetime—are bad for feminism and also just bad.
Support the real V-day. It began as a play about vaginas and has turned into one of the biggest social movements to end violence against women through education and political activism. More than a billion women experience violence every day around the world. Doing something about that—even something as simple as signing the petition here, or joining the Twitter conversation, here—is an act of love even Cupid couldn't conjure.

Hi all just a Quick update on my Hitchin town game
i just been through the 1st season and is was kinda dull as i stay in 12th place most of the season and i got kicked off the cup competitions as soon as they started.the only reason why i am 12th was because of 2 arsenal kids that i got on loan from my parent club arsenal.1 of them is goalkeeper from the U-18s and another was a defender called thomas Cruise.
Currently im 6 games into the 2nd season with hitchin and im currently top of the table thanks to 5 arsenal kiddos (Thomas Cruise(defender),Luke freeman(Striker),Frimpong(Midfielder),Van den berg(right wing),kyle bartley(defender).
Luke freeman already had a couple of hattricks.i have high hopes for the season hoping i could get promoted this season

We've all seen the damage to the eastern seaboard that Hurricane Sandy delivered; now think about where all those flooded cars might end up...In some cases, damage may be minimal and can be repaired. But obviously many will have sustained irreparable damage that may not even be visible to the untrained eye and should be sent to the junk yard for scrap. But that doesn't mean they will be, says NBC News."A car that's been in a flood with the engine submerged for any length of time will never be the same," says Carl Sullivan, who has two decades of experience inspecting vehicles for AiM, a California team of auto inspectors. "It's important for used car shoppers to know how to spot flood damage no matter where they live...

I was very interested in using this suede material for the cover. It reminded me of a really old notebook that was kept for records or something. The suede did not work out for the cover because it was decided that it was too traditional looking.
I tried to stitch around the illustrations to add a more tactile page. The paper was tricky to stitch through and I wasn't sure if it would stay put or not.

Gallery: BMW Guggenheim Lab Opens, Hosts Free Urban Experiments In NYC'...
The 2,200-square-foot mobile structure is a lightweight and compact Swiss army knife. The pavilion is versatile in both function and placement, easily fitting into dense neighborhoods and sites such as the East Village's First Park while providing an open plan for any number of presentations, charettes, or interactive experiences. At its current location, the two-story structure sits between two buildings with its southern end opening to a green space with a cafe and restrooms. The ground level of the BMW Guggenheim Lab structure is an open space that can be modified for each program, utilizing moveable chairs, bleachers, and other furnishings to maximize flexibility of function. Events at the Lab will range from a formal lecture setting with a stage to a celebratory gathering or a workshop. During our visit on press day, multicolored chairs lined up in neat rows faced towards a lectern; these chairs were later grouped into smaller circles for interviews and discussions.
The flexibility on ground level is afforded by the upper, "toolbox" portion of the structure. This portion resembles the backstage and lighting areas of a theater, containing all of the equipment necessary to operate the Lab. The extremely lightweight carbon fiber framing supports a grid of catwalks arranged around rows of lighting, monitors, and speakers hanging into the space below. This framework is loosely wrapped in two layers of mesh, a translucent veil that partially hides the inner workings of the building from passers-by.
An extensive apparatus of "tools" can be raised or lowered on a set of rigs to configure the lower space, including two sets of nine LCD monitors that are set up back to back to one another at the center of the space, like a jumbotron in a sports stadium. Ingenuous storage compartments and cages for furnishings also drop down from above, and can be lowered or raised individually.
All programs at the Lab are free and open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis, though some events require advance registration online. The BMW Guggenheim Lab will be open from 1 to 9 pm on Wednesdays and Thursdays, 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Fridays, and 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The cafe, operated by the Brooklyn-based restaurant Roberta's, is open 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Wednesdays to Fridays and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. One constant is the presence of Urbanology, a role-playing group game featuring city stakeholders that can be played on-site in an interactive installation, or on the web.
At the North end of the site, around the Urbanology game created by Local Projects LLC, curtains can be drawn to manipulate privacy and lighting within the space; these mesh drapes accentuate the contrast between the sleek dark structure and adjacent old brick facades, framing the two between swaths of white. While the contrast is stark between the new design and older site, part of the Lab's project includes park renovations in the form of new fences, plantings, and pavement. The BMW Guggenheim Lab practices what it preaches, concentrating not just on the exchange of ideas for the betterment of our cities, but also on the physical improvement of its own urban setting.

It seems like not a day goes by that I'm not using my iphone for something other than placing an actual telephone call. Anymore, I rarely ever use it for that function. Communication via text or email is so simple. For me it is mostly used for hand held access to the internet, GPS and a good camera that slips into my pocket. Did you know you can print from most of these applications to your wireless printer? The technology and features of iPhones, and many smartphones, have become so convenient that many people are eliminating their home phone lines all together. Who needs wires to slow you down? Not me as I'm in the middle of running to do half a million different things.
It's true that those wires served their purpose at one time. Just like that bulky parallel cable running from your PC to your printer was needed in the past. Well the times they are a-changin' and Canon has introduced a pair of new Pixma All-In-One inkjet printers that offer AirPrint support for your various Apple devices. No more searching for cords or downloading drivers just to print and hang that candid picture you took of your co-worker when they thought no one was looking, like we did below.
Canon has pledged that, from this point forward, the majority of its Pixma printers will support AirPrint. This ensures that owners of these new devices will be able to wirelessly print photos and documents from their iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches running iOS 4.2 or newer. A seamless user experience is what this technology is promising and what we all crave in our daily lives.
Back in September 2011, Canon had released the first of its printers to support AirPrint and Clickinks.com already carries those Canon Pixma ink cartridges. So when you are in the market for a new printer, you might want to take a second look at a Canon Pixma series printer, and see if you too can print directly from your iphone.

Groovy SQL
This section borrows some content from this GroovySQL article, by Andrew Glover. If some of the references to JDBC don't make sense, don't worry. There is one new language construct that is used below, which is the inclusion of variables in string definitions. For example try the following:
As you can see, in a string literal, Groovy interprets anything inside ${} as a groovy expression.
This feature is used extensively below.
Performing a simple query
Your first Groovy SQL code consists of three lines.
The first line is a Java import. It simply tells Groovy the full name of the Sql object. The second line creates a new connection to the SQL database, and stores the connection in the variable sql.
This code is written for a jTDS connection to a MS SQL Server database. You will need to adjust all the parameters to newInstance to connect to your database, especially username and password.
Finally the third line calls the eachRow method of sql, passing in two arguments, the first being the query string, the second being a closure to print out some values.
Notice that in the closure the fields of "it" are accessed in two different ways. The first is as a simple field reference, accessing the id field of it. The second is the included Groovy expression mentioned above.
So the output from a row might look like:
Retrieving a single value from DB
If all you need is a value of one or a few columns of a single row in the DB, you could do this
Doing more complex queries
The previous examples are fairly simple, but GroovySql is just as solid when it comes to more complex data manipulation queries such as insert, update, and delete queries. For these, you wouldn't necessarily want to use closures, so Groovy's Sql object provides the execute and executeUpdate methods instead. These methods are reminiscent of the normal JDBC statement class, which has an execute and an executeUpdate method as well.
Here you see a simple insert that uses variable substitution again with the ${} syntax. This code simply inserts a new row into the people table.
Because the sql statement is expressed in a GString, the values firstName and lastName are provided as parameters and so the quote mark in lastName will not be seen as part of the statement.
Another way to do the same thing is to use prepared statements as follows:
The data that you want to insert is replaced with "?" in the insert statement, and then the values are passed in as an array of data items. Updates are much the same in that they utilize the executeUpdate method. Notice, too, that in Listing 8 the executeUpdate method takes a list of values that will be matched to the corresponding ? elements in the query.
Deletes are essentially the same as inserts, except, of course, that the query's syntax is different.
Other Tips
If you are content with using your resulting database columns in your business logic, it's nice and easy to just return a collection of GroovyRowResult objects which you can use directly:
If you prefer to use a defined type instead of a GroovyRowResult, as long as your type has all the fields returned from your query you can just do:
3 Comments
Hi Glaforge,
I was trying to post a comment, but due to some bugs here I was not able to write properly. Try to write insert query here and see the preview
The snippet
returns something like an array of array, where each of inner array elements is an array of [column name, value]. For e.g., I ran this test:
And the Groovy code
The output is: [[a:10], [a:11], [a:12], [a:13]]
Typo or missing stuff in the very first sentence: "This section some content"

If you need a replacement commercial Dixie Chopper idler, such as a Flat Idler, Heavy Duty Flat Idler or Heavy Duty V Idler, check out Jack's first. Locate the type of replacement Dixie Chopper idler you need below. It is important to know that idlers are not the same as pulleys. There are parts called idler pulleys, but they are actually pulleys. The difference is that a pulley will have a notch (or some other device) to fix it to a shaft that it rotates around, while an idler rotates freely around bearings at its center.

Adam Higdon and I met with the Parks Administrator at the course in Georgetown yesterday and proposed a new layout for the course. With the course only being roughed in and not yet having concrete tees there is a LOT of flexibility with the layout. We walked a new layout with him and I threw many of the proposed shots showing him the value that we could add to the course with some changes. He seemed very excited and pleased at how well thought out our proposed design was.
The new design would open the course up more and better utilized the property available for the course. There would be multiple pin placements and tees and the course would be MUCH more enjoyable. There would be AT LEAST one pro par four on the course. The elevation of the land is utilized MUCH better in this new design also. It would be a COMPLETELY differant course.
Those who have a bitter taste in their mouths from this course know that it is being worked on and if they approve our revisions to the course it will be a MUCH more desirable course to play by all. Well hear back from them in a few days and will keep everyone updated.

By Suzanne Kubota
Senior Internet Editor
Despite a push to cut the deficit on the Hill, cybersecurity spending is expected to continue to rise in the next several years.
A new report by INPUT predicts federal investment in information security will increase to more than $13-billion by 2015 at a compound annual growth rate of more than nine percent. That's nearly twice the rate of overall federal IT spending.
John Slye, principal analyst for INPUT's report on the Federal Information Security Market from 2010 to 2015, told Federal News Radio, cybersecurity is no place to look for low hanging fruit when it comes to spending cuts.
According to Slye, the debate, especially in Congress, centers around how to "protect our critical infrastructure within this country; the energy grid, the food supply, water supply, et cetera. The scope of what is considered cyber continues to increase, so we're just at the beginning of this discussion really."
At the heart of the spending, said Slye, is "everyday information security. Everything from botnets to denial of service to intrusion detection."
The report finds spending will be largely for services, "but also in areas where you can have software tools and improved hardware to help with your identity management and any other training tools as well." The services/people side, said Slye, is expensive, so government is looking for tools to maximize people efforts.
According to the report, watch for steady sector growth over the next few years, then as the tools become available and mature, "accelerated growth in the out years, 2014, 2015."
I think you're going to see significant investments over the next several years simply because we are making progress, but we still have a long way to go. And one of the things that is so elusive is, as we continue to invest and we continue to make strides, folks that are intending harm toward our networks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, increasingly coordinated, increasingly diligent. And as you talk to anyone within government they'll tell you that it's not the attacks that they know about that scare them the most. It's the ones they don't know about that keep them awake at night.

LAKE WORTH, Fla. – It was a strong finish for the Miami University golf team as it shot a final round score of eight-over par 292 at the FAU Spring Break Championship on Sunday. The RedHawks finished in fourth place out of 18 teams with a total team score of 26-over par. No. 39 UCF won the tournament at 14-over par.
"I think this week shows the progress we're making this spring," said head coach Zac Zedrick. "Due to a change in the wind direction, the golf course was playing completely different today than it did the past two days. However, we adjusted and performed well. If we look at our finish down here as a foundation for how we perform the rest of the season, and not be satisfied, then our best golf is still in front of us."
The best round by a Miami player on Sunday came from freshman Bud Radis. He shot a one-over par 72 to finish his debut tournament in 38th place at 12-over par.
Junior Austin Kelly shot a final round of three-over par 74. He was the RedHawks top finisher at FAU, tying for 11th individually at four-over par. Sophomores Scott Cahill and Luke Shaughnessy each finished with a two-over par 73. Cahill tied for 21st at seven-over par, while Shaughnessy tied for 26th at nine-over par. Senior Brett Tomfohrde shot a 75 and finished tied for 39th at 14-over par.
The Miami golf team returns to action next weekend when it participates in the Hoosier Invitational. The RedHawks will play 36 holes on Saturday and finish the event with one final round of 18 holes on Sunday, Apr. 7.

Ben Goldacre:
What doctors don't know about the drugs they prescribe
When a new drug gets tested, the results of the trials should be published for the rest of the medical world — except much of the time, negative or inconclusive findings go unreported, leaving doctors and researchers in the dark. In this impassioned talk, Ben Goldacre explains why these unreported instances of negative data are especially misleading and dangerous.

Ok just erased all my text so a quick version here….
first of, cant find any rules for how often you're supposed to be able to request gear, outside of mission assignment gear. We go by once a month but perhaps we missed something?
Secondly, i lost an eye in a recent fight with some orcs. shouldn't it be easier for me to request a new eye, than it is for my squadmates? As it is now we could all request one at the same difficulty. Seems weird.
Thirdly, working the system, the finding people and trading and so on.. how does it work exactly? seems complicated
in short:
1: logistics test, how often?
2: need or greed? Any difference?
3: Working the system, how does it work really?

Springbok coach Jake White, accused of backing an extension of Brian van Rooyen's tenure as SARU president, is wary of Andre Markgraaff's return should Oregan Hoskins unseat Van Rooyen.
Lobbying for the presidency is reaching a climax this week and the Hoskins camp, led by Cheetahs President Harold Verster and Mike Stofile, have expressed concern that White had attempted to canvass votes (on behalf of Van Rooyen) among the small unions.
White knows what he has in Van Rooyen, who earlier today was reported in the press as saying he would give White whatever he requires to prepare for the 2007 World Cup. Van Rooyen has said he would not interfere with White and allow him to his own devices.
Enter a new president and the Bok coach is again confronted with the possibility of a national director of rugby. Enter Hoskins and the possibility of Andre Markgraaff as the national director of rugby becomes a distinct possibility White does not want to deal with.
Hoskins, a few weeks ago, told Keo.co.za that he and Markgraaff had not been in contact and that Markgraaff was not a part of his election campaign. Hoskins said the only interaction he had with Markgraaff was a phone call in which Markgraaff wished him well for the election.
Keo.co.za's sources, however, indicate that Markgraaff wants the post of national director of rugby created — and he wants to be it.
At the time of Markgraaff's resignation from the SARU administration, Hoskins was quoted as saying that he felt Markgraaff would be missed on rugby matters and that he had a high regard for any rugby contribution Markgraaff could make. Hoskins did say that he felt Markgraaff may have struggled as an administrator, but that there were other contributions he could make.
This would have scared White, who did not want to work with Markgraaff. The Bok coach made this clear just days prior to Markgraaff's resignation. The two had clashed on the eve of the Boks test win against the Wallabies in Pretoria.
It has long been argued that SA Rugby needs a national director of rugby — an individual who can coach other coaches and act as a sounding board to the national coach. Nick Mallett's name was bandied about long before he took over as WP Director of Rugby.
However, nothing came of that, despite initial approaches to Mallett to establish interest.
Hoskins, should he feel the need for a Director of Rugby, could still look to someone like Mallett, but the most likely introduction would be Markgraaff. And such a scenario could be the start of the end for White. It is why White is backing the one he knows, rather than the one he doesn't.

This sociable breed bonds with people. It has an independent nature and a definite prey instinct.
Country of Origin:
Possibly Great Britain or Egypt. This breed's lineage comes from countries around the world.
A Greyhound-like dog existed in ancient times with the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. Royalty bred these dogs for the sport of the chase. Activities included coursing hare and hunting deer and wild boar. In the 1500s, Spanish explorers brought these dogs to America. England helped develop this breed. Greyhounds also accompanied immigrants to the New World. In 1926, with the popularity of track racing, breeding emphasized short, powerful bursts of speed.
English Greyhound. Grighund (Old English). Name may be derived from Grius, meaning "Greek," or gradus, Latin for "high grade." Also known as the "World's fastest couch potato."

What I am saying is that all because Joey choose to do X does not mean that it is inevitable that Joey would choose to do X over W and Z if put in the same circumstance.
In regards to determinism the fact that I am on this computer right now does not mean that I had no choice but to be at this computer, it just means that I choose to do so and given the same circumstances, I could choose to go for a walk, instead of jumping on the computer.
This is the meat of our argument. You seem to want to have your cake and eat it too. You want to have cause and effect, but also the freedom to make decisions that our not predetermined by preexisting causes. This can't be.
Joey cannot choose differently if EVERYTHING is the same, because what made Joey act the way he did the first time must make him act the same the second time. OR do you want to argue that Joey's actions are uncaused? Is that what it all comes down to? A magical uncaused will?
Given the same circumstances you would jump on the computer again to reply to me, because your brain would make you. You just don't seem to grasp that everything in the universe obeys the same laws of cause and effect. The same laws that make the row of dominoes fall from the first domino to the last makes people act the way they do.
I don't know what more to say about this. People seem believe in the freedom of decision with religious fervor.
Ok, so we are on the same page..What irks me is that when I hear deterministic arguements, thoughts are always ignored and it is usually implied taht before we think, our brains have already made a decision of what to do without us being away of it…this I have a problem with.
While I do think that thoughts might play a role in the way of a feedback-loop I also think many things are being decided in the brain without thought ever playing a role.

Welcome to Basenotes! Fragrances are meant to project even the weak frags,so, I don't know how you can get away with it.???
Thread: Basenoter Worst Nightmare
The secretary at my work is actually allergic to most scents (including deodorants, shampoos, etc) and can get hospitalized if its bad enough. She can smell a perfume or cologne a mile away. Luckily I'm not often in the office, but when I am I have to be very mindful. How would you guys try to avoid getting cologne on your clothes? Currently it seems the cologne gets mostly on my undershirt and not my dress shirt. Was wondering if anyone had any other tricks
Welcome to Basenotes! Fragrances are meant to project even the weak frags,so, I don't know how you can get away with it.???
I'm not OLD...I'm VINTAGE!
Not trying to be a smart-a here but to avoid it getting on your clothes, don't spray it at all. Looks like for those office days you're scent free....or firing a secretary.
That is too bad though.

Spray behind your ears, or directly under your chin. This will avoid all contact with clothing.
get a brand new one!!!

Perfume lovers of the world UNITE!!!!!
So people can't use scented deodorants...soaps...ect? I'm sorry, but I feel like that's a rather unacceptable problem for a secretary to have, since she'll be dealing with so many people.
But if that's how it must be, I guess you better start setting aside shirts that will never touch a fragrance and switch them out when you need to go to work.
I think she should wear a head bubble bless her. You cannot avoid scents as a secretary with all sorts of people in and out. She's in the wrong sort of job for her condition. Poor thing.
- - - Updated - - -
How does she get to work? Surely not on public transport?
I'm sorry for her but also for you that you need to be really careful.
Spray it on while you're still naked, let it dry and only then get dressed.
Are you asking how to wear cologne on those days, or how to avoid having cologne on your clothes when you come in otherwise unscented? And does she react to clothing that once had fragrance on it but has since been washed? I ask because I'm puzzled about the problem being the undershirt, which is easy to wash. I'd think that the problem would be more things like wool sweaters and jackets, things that you don't wash every time you wear them.
If it were me, I'd have at least one full set of completely washable clothes, including a sweater, and I'd store them where I never store clothes that have perfume on them. I'm not quite sure what I'd do about my coat - I wouldn't want to buy a whole separate fragrance-free coat, but maybe I could leave it in the car or in some controlled area in the office. There'd probably be a little fragrance contamination of my clothes, but maybe not too much.
As for how the secretary survives, I'm assuming that she does have to deal with occasional outsiders coming in wearing fragrance, and that therefore the regular employees need to minimize their fragrance use to minimize her exposure. I actually think that's a fairly reasonable demand.
Edited to add: If I worked in that office every day, then I would buy a coat for fragrance-free occasions. My livelihood is important, her livelihood is important, it's worth buying a coat to avoid endangering either one. My issue would be with buying a whole coat for a rare visit to the office; under those circumstances I'd try to find another solution.
1. Call ahead and have her leave the area when you are there.
2. Ask her to please take an antihistamine the days you are scheduled to be there (have her see an allergist). It is not fair for her to control everyone else's personal choices (that's why we have non-smoking laws).
3. Make sure she has an epi-pen on hand in case her reaction is severe. Tell her you will always be wearing cologne when you are there. Work with her to find a solution where she can protect herself and you can *be* yourself.
Perhaps you could find an all natural fragrance that doesn't bother her.
If it isn't, then I have to disagree with this completely. This is not a situation where two personal choices are colliding; the o.p. indicated she has an objective medical condition that caused severe reactions to scents. Considering that he's only in the office rarely, it seems to me that it's a matter of decency not to wear cologne the days he knows he and she will be there. It's really a small matter for me not to wear cologne for a day or two, and if a coworker had this condition I think it's, at the very least, a question of courtesy.
I don't want my personal choice causing someone physical problems. And, personally, I don't need cologne to "*be* myself." I'm the same person whether wearing Green Irish Tweed or not.
One other thought: if she is actually that allergic, she is likely protected by the Americans with Disabilities Act, which is more expansive than most people realize (assuming this occurred in the United States). If the o.p. has a management position, and refuses to accommodate her request, he'd better consult his company's attorney because he is setting them up for a possible lawsuit.
But again, if it was me, I just would avoid cologne on the few days I will be near her. No big deal for me.
Current Top Five:
1. Creed Green Irish Tweed
2. Tom Ford Neroli Portofino
3. Hermes Concentre d'Orange Verte
4. Bond No. 9 New Haarlem
5. Creed Original Vetiver
Yes - serious, not sarcastic. Just responding to what seemed to be real sadness and frustration on the part of the poster. And since, as he said, he is not there that much, it seems a small matter to ask her to go to a different room when he's there. Of course, he could choose not to wear the fragrance, as you said. But it seemed he did not want to do that. If she moved out of the area when he was there, it would be consideration on both parts, don't you think?
If the job required no fragrance in the workplace (as some do) then he would have to comply. But, if not ... I don't know that this would be considered a disability. In my workplace, I actually saved the life of a co-worker once, who was having a huge allergy attack because of something that was never discovered. I got her a Benedryl immediately and when the paramedics arrived they said had she not taken it when she did, she might have died.
But, she came right back to work and this workplace did nothing to accommodate her. Her attack could have been from flowers, or chemicals, or something just in the air. Perhaps it was even to a perfume some customer was wearing! No accommodations have been made for her and it is her responsibility to medicate herself in the way her doctor recommends, or to find another job.
Can somebody really get hospitalized by being near somebody that is wearing fragrance? I've known people to get migraines if they are sensitive, but not anaphylactic shock! So I will assume it is okay to wear as long as she is not rubbing her body on you. Call me pessimistic, but she might just be saying she is allergic because she finds strong fragrance offensive. When I was a waitor I heard all sorts of people say they were allergic to things when they just didn't like it and wanted to make sure it wasn't on their plate. I've overheard plenty of people admit they weren't really allergic; the best was someone saying they were allergic to pesto. I asked what in pesto they were allergic to and they didn't answer.
It does happen. If that were the case though, I'd be avoiding any job that involves interfacing with the public. I assume the secretary can handle SOME exposure or she would be unable to function at all in society. Still, some people drench themselves in so much strong-smelling perfume/cologne that you can smell them from several feet away (I really only notice this when it's something that irritates me- I think the record was Axe body spray that could be smelt from ACROSS THE STREET.)
Since youre not there that often I would agree that you should just refrain from wearing any fragrance that day, nobody want a lawsuit right? However it sounds like she is exaggerating the effects that other peoples fragrance can have on her. Im working on a masters degree in molecular toxicology and have taken several classes in immunology and similar topics and with all the IFRA regulations on what goes into a scent I highly doubt she could be hospitalized from someone else wearing a perfume. Almost always an allergic reaction requires direct contact with the allergen via skin contact, injection, or ingestion, and the amount of fragrance that diffuses off your body while you are in the office would be to minuscule to trigger anything. Maybe if you went and sprayed her in the face with a frag she could have a reaction, but it just doesnt make any sense that she could be hospitalized from you wearing one yourself. And does that also mean you cant wear deodorant or use soap in the shower before you come to work? Does she have documentation of this severe allergy problem from a doctor? Im not calling her a liar, and in biology there are always special cases which circumvent general knowledge, but this just sounds a little extreme to me.
PS an all natural fragrance would be more likely to cause a reaction than a synthetic one since someone suggested that above.

That is hypersensitive. She should be in a bubble lol. I think its great you are mindful but then again, you have to be yourself. Its okay to groom in a way that satisfies you but on those days, a comprise by toning it down a notch is all anyone could ask for. In a healthcare setting, I'm not supposed to wear anything scented as it may upset sick patients. Do I? Of course; I'm a member of basenotes damn it lol. However, to work I usually wear something low key and inoffensive which in my opinion makes anything in my wardrobe fair game
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
I knew a girl that claimed that she was deathly allergic to all scents including shampoos, soaps etc. So many people would walk on eggshells for her. I asked her if she wore a gas mask to the store or something because that seemed like an extremely dangerous place for her...she said no. She was in my church and she asked the religious leader to ask people to not wear fragrances of any kind or she could be hospitalized. He complied and thus everyone in church was banned from all fragrances. I didn't believe her but I still tried to help out. So, one day I was in the store and she was in the personal hygiene section looking for non scented everything. I asked her if it bothered her to be in that section because of all of the fragrances wafting in the air. She said no and that she just tries to by unscented stuff. Later, I hadn't seen her in church for a while so I banked that she wouldn't be there and so I wore a spritz of frag and went to church. She was there so I half heartedly tried to keep my distance. I also secretly hoped she would come up to me to see if anything happened. She actually saw me, came over and gave me a hug. I then just observed and absolutely nothing happened. From that moment on I would wear frags any time I went to church or knew that she would be around and nothing ever even came close to happening. So, I guess I'm kind o a jerk because I didn't believe her and decided to test my theory, but she just loved getting attention and saying that she was severely allergic to fragrances was her way of getting constant attention.
I personally have never met anyone that has had a severe reaction from fragrances. I have a coworker where it is just he and I in our office and he is allergic to about 98% of all allergens. I wear fragrances every day and he has never had a reaction. I think that a lot of people that claim to have severe allergies to fragrances either are hypochondriacs, have been told they are allergic to them and thus never tested to see if they really were, really want attention, or are just uneducated. I have worn fragrances since I was 15. I even taught school for 10 years wearing fragrances every day and never did any of my students have a reaction, and still to this day I have never met anyone that has had a severe allergic reaction to frags. I've never even seen anyone have even a slight allergic reaction to frags. Oh, I mean smelling them, not touching the actual juice, that's another story, I have seen reactions to that, still not severe though.
I'm not saying that it couldn't happen, I'm just saying that I have never seen it in my 20 years of wearing frags in all walks of life...and if you think about it, those people that claim they have severe allergic reactions to fragrances should be wearing a gas mask at all times because it is impossible to distance yourself from all fragrances, you could never leave your house and you could never interact with anyone because they might, after all, have washed their hands with some soap that contained some sort of fragrance.
Agree that she should be in a different environment.
Wait, maybe I'm missing something, but it sounds like you already don't wear fragrance on days when you're in the office.
So...just wear freshly washed clothes on days when you're in the office, and continue not wearing fragrance on those days.
Right? Am I underthinking this?

Wouldn't it make sense that if you wore something oil-based, it would stay close to the body and not in the air?

Spend some time and money in the essential oil/aromatherapy world. You may not have as much luck constructing a layered frag to compete with the commercials, but essential oils can be exquisite, they do have therapeutic effects and I have never seen anyone with an allergic reaction to any of them except chamomile (which is damn expensive anyway).
It's a different experience. I worked as a naturopath for more than 10 years before I moved to Europe, and aromatherapy was part of my studies. I love my frags, but the oils are well worth looking into.
I love fragrances as much as everyone else here, but there comes a point where you need to take a step back and ask yourself "Do I have a problem? Am I literally ADDICTED?" I dated a woman who was allergic. I stopped wearing fragrances while we were together. Anybody who would choose frags over a woman, or in this case, a job... that person has a problem.
There's nothing wrong with not wearing fragrance. In fact, by giving your nose a break, you actually increase your ability to enjoy scents when you wear them.

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
you can allways buy a perfume that is called NOT A PERFUME from JULITTE HAS A GUN house....its pure ambroxan this is alergenfree stuff
Not easy situation at all. It's after all her problem but imo rawraw does the right thing as he don't want to make any more harm to her than necessary. In my country there is no such law that would protect the one who suffers allergic reactions, at least I'm not aware of. I believe that common sense and co-operation of the colleagues in most cases work.
I think it would be a good idea and polite not to spray fragrance onto clothes in this case (as rawraw suggests.) How one's skin smells, is IMO everyones own business and can't be limited. It's Ok imo to choose some skin scent type of fragrance.

Buy her one of these and tell her to wear it whenever you're coming to work...
Allergic to the scents in shampoo, so what, you don't wash your hair prior to work either?!

I know of a very good employment consultant who can help you get rid of her, then you can go and find one who appreciates your fragrances in a naughty way
Size 8 long legs blonde hair receptionist required. lol
Agree with heperd.
Get rid of her. Let her go pull the princess act somewhere else.
If she really has such a terrible problem with any and all fragrances, she needs to make that her problem to deal with, not everyone else's.
If she really is allergic, as she claims, then she can't go on public transport, can't go to the mall, movies, shopping, anywhere.....because there will be people wearing fragrances.
IMO it is bullshit. She doesn't like fragrances and therefore doesn't want anyone else to wear them.
If it were real, she would be the Bubble Girl. Seriously.
Just wear a little bit each day, increasing the amount and respray gradually, slowly, and linearly. Don't tell her.
When you could eventually wear 5 sprays of kouros and she is still alright, you had cured her ailment.
It's all in her head. This is clearly a hypochondriac being an attention whore. Paying any attention to this kind of nonsense is only feeding the sickness.
Regardless of whether she's telling the truth or bs'ing, I wouldn't wear fragrance around her. Just don't want to deal with the drama. At best, she dislikes fragrances and would cause a fuss if she smelt it. At worst, she'd end up being hospitalized. Either way, it's reason enough for me to just not wear fragrances around her.
Honestly, when I first saw the thread title, I thought it was something worse. Like a burglar stole the OP's entire fragrance collection or a fire destroyed it. Thank god it's not that bad.
I ramble:
A few years ago I was exposed to strong levels of cigarette smoke for several hours. Starting the next day, I had cold symptoms so bad that I was out of work for several days - and I pretty much never take off work for a cold; the only infection that's ever knocked me down to a similar degree turned out to be pneumonia.
For several months afterward, I had serious problems tolerating almost any breathing irritant - exhaust fumes, smoke of all types, paint fumes, cleaners, and, yes, perfume. These irritants didn't cause me to go into anaphylactic shock, no. They weren't a threat to my survival, but even a moderate exposure would give me a miserable headache and very painful sinuses for hours afterward, bad enough to make it very difficult to do anything.
With some care, I was able to reduce exposure from "moderate" to "minimal". I avoided the headaches. I wasn't miserable all the time. If I had had a coworker who insisted on his right to wear perfume at work, in my vicnity, so that I was miserable all the time, I would have been very seriously annoyed.
I got over it. I can wear perfume now. Yay! But I never, ever wear it on a day when I expect to visit, or be in a meeting with, a specific allergic coworker.
Work is work; it's not a place where we're entitled to express ourselves without limit. If someone is so scent-sensitive that they can't handle an occasional unexpected scented visitor to the office without risking death, then their employement opportunities might be limited as a result. But in my view, it's not the least bit unreasonable to insist that their coworkers refrain from spraying on perfume before they leave for work, or even that they avoid wearing clothing that hasn't been washed since it was in contact with perfume. That may be what it takes to reduce exposure to the point that their coworker can, well, _work_.
I'm not aiming this at the original poster - it sounded to me like he was trying to be as helpful as he could, short of giving up perfume in his private life.

I frankly find it pretty disturbing that people are assuming that the secretary is lying (she may be, she may not be. She may not be allergic to MOST perfumes/colognes but one or two could in fact hospitalize her and she may not know which specific ones that is. Or she may truly be very allergic to all of them. But really, who are we to assume that she's lying?)
I also can't believe several people have suggested firing her. I really, truly hope that was a joke, because there are so many problems with that idea I don't know where to begin.
I have a particular coworker who wears gobs of some sort of fragrance. She works in a closed room in close proximity to a coworker who is sensitive to her particular sort of fragrance (I don't know what it is.) She claims to have "toned it down" and she STILL has a 5-foot "stink radius". I'm sensitive to certain fragrances and it happens to be one that sets me off, too. She's been asked several times not to wear so much perfume and she gets quite belligerent about it. Apparently she's even been taken to HR over the issue on at least one occasion. It's really, incredibly rude. (I should add that this closed room she works in is a climate-controlled "clean room" (not sterile) type environment. Any scent that gets in there will be trapped and amplified throughout the day. Not a whole lot of ventilation in there.)
And ChickenFreak (love that name by the way...I used to have pet chickens and they are SOO CUTE!!!!!) I have the same issue with cigarette smoke. I actually had to leave my mother's house earlier than I would have liked last time I visited because I had such awful post-nasal drip that I was about to vomit. Not to mention my nose and throat were getting more raw by the minute. Not. Fun.
To those who think it's all BS, it's not. I suffered from MCS for years and it's fucking painful. Was it a threat to my survival? Not directly. It sure as hell caused a lot of problems in every area of my life though. This coming from someone who loves perfume.
I was a fool and suffered through it and kept wearing perfume. Some days were worse than others. Some days I could enjoy it. There was always at least some pain accompanying any pleasure, though. But please, please, stop thinking it's fake or made up. In many cases it may be someone being sensational and a hypochondriac, but in other cases it's real.
I could, for instance detect the presence of certain chemicals at an extremely small threshold. A tiny dab of something on a piece of paper, 30 feet away and in a different room, I could smell clearly. I had people test me to prove myself. Without fail I could tell when the scent was actually exposed, or when they were lying and said it was. Certain air fresheners became sickeningly overpowering. It was grueling.

The headline of this post sucked us in. I love how the pharmacy employees, the toxicologist, and the healthcare workers on basenotes are all generally apathetic to said secretary's claim, but that there are still a few BNers out there willing to indulge her. I would just go light on the pump, do the skin scent where it takes a hug to appreciate your fine fragrance taste on those days, and not worry too much. If she has an allergy she will have pills and/or an epi pen depending on the severity. A Benadryl works great for sudden allergies, if not seasonal.
There are inhalers for respiratory issues as well.
I work in a pharmacy in a hospital btw.

Hey guys!
Thanks for some of great advice, I'll be putting that to use.
I didn't realize this thread would get so intense lol. No, this lady is very sweet. I tell her she wouldn't survive as a cave man. I've never asked specifically what things she has been hospitalized from (she is also very allergic to types of foods). But to give you some example of her sensitivity, she sits removed from the rest of the office in her own room. If someone got cologne on their clothes over the weekend, she can still smell it across a 3,000 sqft office area and gives here extreme irritation (headache, etc). So smells may not be among the things that she has been hospitalized from, but she is extremely sensitive.
As I noted, I'm rarely in the office. I was more looking for tips on how to apply cologne so it doesn't get on my clothes. I'd hate to wear a shirt, forgetting I hadn't dry cleaned it, and cause her problems. She really doesn't do it for attention or in a way anyone when working in the office thinks twice about trying to accommodate her. I'm just trying to minimize the chance of exposing her to chemicals!
@SculptureOfSoul, you describe exactly what she has.
So as not to come off as completely insensitive, here is a post in response to a question on webmd. The OP uses steroid inhaler, epi pen, and respirator in public. Maybe your coworker could look into allergy shots.

*responded:You may want to talk to your allergist about beginning allergy shots (assuming your asthma is allergic, since you take antihistamines). I, too, used to normally react to perfumes and strong fragrances (not as badly as you do, though), but since I've been on allergy shots for 5-plus years I can now even comfortably wear some perfumes. It's really amazing to me the difference that allergy shots have made for me.
Here's what I understand as to how this works. By markedly reducing allergic sensitivity, your respiratory system isn't constantly inflamed by reacting to allergens, which makes you more sensitive to irritants like dust, smoke, perfumes. Thus, once allergy shots take effect, fragrances that used to irritate your respiratory system are no longer as irritating and your lungs can now "ignore" the fragrances.
Another potential solution which I have not tried but is worth discussing with your allergist is Xolair. Some on the board have had good success with that.
Hopefully Sonya and some others who suffer greatly from this will also offer other suggestions to you.
Hope these thoughts help in the meantime. Take care & good luck. Judy
How does she get through life? Trips to the grocery, errands elsewhere? This woman seems most unfortunate. And then, how are the other employees supposed to accommodate her allergies/sensitivities to shampoo of all things?
