Modified Housing/Dining Policy
The University of New Haven strives to provide the best housing and dietary arrangements to suit the particular needs of our students. A variety of housing and dining options currently exist for that purpose, but we recognize that there are circumstances where particular requests and accommodations may need to be considered. This policy is created for that purpose.
Students needing consideration for modified housing/dining options, specific types of rooms (e.g. single room, double room), access to specific facilities/equipment within a room (e.g. bathroom or cooking facilities, roll-in or transfer showers), or use of alternatives due to a medical condition (e.g. air conditioning) should complete Modified Housing/Dining Requests by the deadlines outlined in the procedures below. Requests for modifications are carefully evaluated by the ADA/504 Committee.
A student requesting modified dining options must first meet with the University of New Haven's Director of Dining Services/Executive Chef to discuss their specific dietary issues, for a determination as to whether Dining Services can meet their needs. A Modified Dining Options Meeting Form must be completed at this meeting. The form must be submitted by Dining Services with the appropriate signature in order for the student's Modifications to Housing/Dining Packet to Campus Access Services to be considered complete. The form and packet must be submitted by the deadlines below.
Modified Housing/Dining Procedures
Application Process:
To begin the evaluation process, students must submit a completed request for Modifications to Housing and/or Dining Options packet to the Campus Access Services office no later than the date(s) shown below.
The packet includes the following:
1. Modifications to Housing and/or Dining Options Form Student's Section upon which the student has specified a requested accommodation, has included a clear description of what type of housing configuration and/or dining option is being requested, an explanation of how the request relates to the impact of the condition, and any possible alternatives if the requested housing configuration/dining option is not possible.
2. Health Care Provider Verification Form documenting the condition and functional limitations that are the basis of the request.
3. Completed Intake Form for Modified Housing/Dining.
4. ADA/504 Committee Release of Information Form.
5. (For students requesting modified dining) Completed Modified Dining Options Meeting Form.
The Modified Housing/Dining Packet forms can be found under the Forms for New Students/Requests Tab of the Campus Access Services web page on the University's website.
Once a student has been approved for a housing/dining modification, they will meet with the Assistant Director of Residential Life to discuss their housing assignment and/or meal plan. Specific residence halls, room types and/or meal plan options are not guaranteed.
All Requests for modifications to the meal plan, including appeals, must be completed by the posted deadline, excepting diagnosis of a condition after the deadline.
Application Deadlines:
Modified Housing
New Students: The entire Modified Housing/Dining Packet should be submitted to the Campus Access Services office by June 15 prior to the start of the Fall semester and by January 10 prior to the start of Spring semester. Any request received after the June 15 and January 10 deadlines will be tabled until the next meeting of the ADA/504 Committee excepting emergencies such as conditions diagnosed after the deadlines.
For Returning Students Making New Requests: Students should also submit the entire Modified Housing/Dining Packet to the Campus Access Services office by the January 10 deadline prior to the start of the Spring semester. Students making requests for the following Fall semester must submit their completed packet by February 3. Any request not received by the deadline will be tabled until the following semester's meeting of the Committee excepting emergencies.
Modified Dining:
For New and Returning Students: The entire Modified Housing/Dining Packet, including the Modified Dining Options Meeting Form, should be submitted to the Campus Access Services office by September 7 for the Fall semester and by February 3 for the Spring semester. Any requests received after the September 7th and February 3rd deadlines will be tabled until the following semester.
Meetings will be held to hear requests completed by the deadlines within 10 business days of the deadline, and students will be notified of the outcomes shortly thereafter.
Incomplete Requests:
Incomplete requests will automatically be tabled and will not be presented for committee vote. Students will be notified that their cases have been tabled pending receipt of missing information/documents.
Requests that include documentation that has been completed by someone other tan an appropriate professional as designated in the University's documentation guidelines will automatically be tabled and will not be presented for committee vote. Students will be notified that their cases have been tabled pending receipt of missing information/documents.
Requests Submitted After the Deadline:
Requests submitted after the deadline will not be heard until the next meeting date.
In order to continue to receive Modified Housing/Dining:
Once a student has been approved for Modified Housing/Dining, they must notify Campus Access Services of the intention to retain Modified Housing/Dining accommodations. An email will be sent to all students who have approved accommodations, to which they must reply by the specified deadline.
The deadline for renewing accommodations for the upcoming Fall semester is February 3 (in order for the request to be reviewed and approved prior to the start of the Room Selection Process).
Notification should be completed as early as possible as some students may be required to submit updated documentation, and documentation must also be received by the February 3 deadline in order for the renewal to be considered.
In addition, students approved for modified housing must have submitted their Room Selection Deposit and completed their Housing License Agreement by the published deadline. Depending on the housing modification approved, a student may have the opportunity to request a roommate(s). Intended roommates must also have submitted their Room Selection Deposit and completed their Housing License Agreement by the published deadline. Students must have affirmed their intent to live in residential housing in order to make a request a request to modify housing.
The Appeal Process:
Requests for modified housing and/or dining options will be reviewed by the ADA/504 Committee and a letter will be sent to the student confirming or denying the request. If the request is denied, students have the option to appeal the decision the following way:
Appeal the decision with additional medical documentation for reconsideration. New documentation should be forwarded to the Campus Access Services office. The ADA/504 Committee will review the case and reconsider the decision based on this new information.
**Appeals related to modified dining options MUST be received by September 14 for the Fall semester, and by February 14 for the Spring semester in order to be processed by the 5th week of the semester.
Requests for Use of an Air Conditioner due to Medical Reasons:
* Students approved for the use of an air conditioner will either be placed in a residence hall with central air conditioning or in a room/suite/apartment where a student's air conditioner may be installed by a University Facilities staff member. Placements will be at the discretion of the Office of Residential Life based on availability.
If a student is granted permission for use of an air conditioner and is not assigned to an air conditioned residence hall, students will have the option of providing their own air conditioner. If a student chooses to bring an air conditioner, they will receive a letter stating what type/size air conditioner will be appropriate based on their particular room assignment.
The Facilities Department will be given a list of where those air conditioners will be located so that they can create the necessary components for installation of the air conditioners as well as to facilitate scheduling of installations in a timely manner. If a student who has been approved for use of an air conditioner needs assistance with their air conditioning installation, the Facilities Department will be available the first two weeks of school to assist with installations. Installations of air conditioners will only be provided for students who have been documented through the Campus Access Services office and have been approved by the ADA/504 Committee. All air conditioners must be installed within two weeks of the start of school.
*Unless documented by a physician for prolonged use and approved by the ADA/504 Committee, all air conditioners must be removed from residence hall rooms by November 1. They may be reinstalled on or after March 15.
Students who request air conditioners for the spring semester (through the Campus Access Service office) may access the modified housing request packet online and follow the procedures noted above. Applications for modified housing must be submitted by the January 10 deadline in order to be considered by the ADA/504 Committee. Any requests received after January 10 will be tabled until the ADA/504 Committee meets to hear fall semester requests, excepting emergencies (e.g. conditions diagnosed after the deadline). Air conditioner requests approved for the spring semester can be installed on or after March 15, unless otherwise noted by physician documentation and approved by the Committee.
Emergency Requests and Late Requests
Modified Housing
Emergency requests for modified housing received after the deadlines listed above or during the course of a semester will be given consideration only with the acknowledgement by the student that specific requests for room accommodation may not be possible in the middle of an academic year due to the majority of students being assigned a room for the fall in which they continue for the full academic year. Late requests may result in delay, substitution, or denial of accommodation.
Modified Dining
Requests for modified dining received after the deadlines listed above will generally not be given consideration for the current semester. Late requests, excepting emergencies (e.g. conditions diagnosed after the deadline), will result in requests not being considered until the following semester.

Aperture 3 color issue(s)
Interesting issue seems to have started up today with Aperture 3. I went out and shot a few photos today as well as having some photos still on my SD card. Upon importing my photos all my thumbnails look as nice as thumbs do, once I select and open any photo it displays nice and bright then at the point of it being fully loaded/opened it seems like a dull "chalk like film" has been applied and all the colors look dull and washed out.
This didn't start until this last update I loaded the same set of photos in iPhoto and on my MBP running Aperture 2 and not one color issue(s). I did the old check and repair prefs and so on, a few restarts and it is still there. It will take anywhere from the first time I open a photo to opening 6-8 and it does it again but only in A3, sigh…
I went back to my D90, as my new camera is the D7000 and tested the photos of each and that doesn't seem to matter, it still does it. Anyone else have this issue start yet or at all? I can't say I'm thrilled about this issue and I'm going to install LR 4 (trial) and see if it does the same thing(s) to try and isolate the issue.
Only other pet peeve is A2 hasn't been updated for new cameras and that is a whole different topic…
Any thoughts would be great!

If I'm not mistaken, Aperture 3.3 now uses the RAW files' embedded previews from the camera for faster import. As soon as you click on a photo, a new preview file is generated straight from the RAW file, thereby bypassing any preset you may have used in your camera. On the import tab, you can select wether or not to import this embedded preview; and I think this means that if you want your imported photos to be like your camera preview, you'll have to create an adjustment preset to apply on import as well, but someone may have another idea.
|Jul 2, 2012, 02:02 PM
It seems to me that the RAW processor Aperture 3.3 uses has been much improved, there are quite a few new options (e. g. White Balance allows you to use grays, skin tone or the traditional UI). So it's not surprising that if you render RAW files in the default settings, and the default settings change that what you see will be different.
Regarding jpg previews vs. RAW files, the effect you describe sounds rather normal. jpg files to many look better when they contain more bold colors while people usually prefer a relatively neutral RAW conversion to start edits with.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

I always changed the WB anyway but it was just a shock to see it pop up different a few days later and about 85 photos later

There was a discussion on the Apple Support forums that said using the Auto Light Optimization/Preserve Highlights feature was the culprit (which I have enabled on the 5DmkIII). Turning off that option would be a workaround until the bug is fixed.
Found it: https://discussions.apple.com/thread...art=0&tstart=0
|Jul 7, 2012, 09:19 AM
Also, as the thread pointed out, RAW and Preview files are different. Using the embedded Preview file means the camera itself has done some processing to the image (Preview JPG). RAW files come in clean unless there are presets that are ran at import.
It might bear investigating.

I reset and went through everything in my camera however, all the photos prior to the update were from the same camera and when those open/view, they are all fine, just my last batch was changed, nothing from the camera but I understand what is being said. I just shot some stuff this morning and I'm going to try and see what's going on if it still is.
I'm just not tickled about this change and right now I'm glad this isn't my livelihood and had hundreds of photos do this

FWIW, the recent Aperture 3.4.1 and/or OS 10.8.2 updates have resolved the issue for me. Aperture renders now match the renders from LR and Canon's software for the files that were giving me troubles before.
|Oct 19, 2012, 12:06 AM
This is a common issue that arises in Aperture 3 at times.
Sometimes it goes away on its own; sometimes an update fixes it. If it persists try rolling back your RAW engine to a previous version.
Currently the most recent iteration of Aperture has not caused this issue for me.
Let me make this clear: this is NOT an issue with the previews, RAW files or the camera. Don't worry, your photos are perfectly fine.
It's a bug within the RAW engine that Aperture uses to process the previews; no matter how many times you tell Aperture to generate the previews, it will come out green because the processing engine itself is buggy.
One thing I had never tried was a JPEG export. Does the issue persist when you export the photo?

Aperture 3 Color Issue
I am on a cross country shoot. I have depended on Aperture for years. No longer. With this version, I have just gotten fed up. I have presets for my images I import from my Canon 7D...Aperture makes then gray and chalky...been looking at this crap since the last version
Well, I am downloading LR4, and just migrating...I am fed up with this "professional" product.

It goes without saying Beyoncé never misses a beat when she's dancing to her own music, be it highly complicated choreography or just grindin' with her girls on a hotel balcony. But hit play on basically any tune you can imagine and Bey's twerking tempo will match flawlessly, as the #BeyoncéAlwaysOnBeat Twitter meme proves without…
Josh Duggar not only has his parents, his wife, fans of "19 Kids and Counting" and presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee in his corner following the revelation that he molested five underage girls when he was a teenager — his sister Jessa's father-in-law is also defending Josh against the "bloodletting" at the hands of the media.
According to the Associated Press, Arkansas police have destroyed the 2006 offense report for Josh Duggar, which detailed how the then-14-year-old had molested five girls, including his sisters, on the orders of Judge Stacy Zimmerman. "As far as the Springdale Police Department is concerned, this report doesn't exist," Springdale's police representative Scott Lewis told AP.
Happy Couchiversary!

The national average for a gallon of regular self-serve gasoline has declined nicely the last month or so, and could fall to $3.40/gal by Thanksgiving Day. The part that is tough to chew isn't the turkey that many Americans will be eating, rather the fact that the national average hasn't ever been higher on Thanksgiving than where it will likely be this year- around $3.43/gal. The national average stood at $3.34/gal last Thanksgiving Day, and could be 10c/gal higher than that this year. It's something that may surprise many Americans, given that gasoline prices have edged lower in previous weeks.California, for example, has seen a whopping 77c/gal drop in just the last four weeks. That is among the largest, fastest declines...

Decimated Ga. plant a symbol of storm's power
Thursday - 1/31/2013, 5:39pm EST
By JOHNNY CLARK
Associated Press
ADAIRSVILLE, Ga. (AP) - For Darleen Evans, it was sheer terror as the manufacturing plant where she worked collapsed around her and her colleagues. She and two other women rushed into a bathroom stall, she holding one under each arm as she prayed, a tornado roaring overhead.
She tearfully recalled their survival as nothing short of a miracle: "If it wasn't for God, this company and these people wouldn't be here."
On two occasions, tornadoes have ripped through the Daiki Corp. steel manufacturing plant that employs more than 90 people in this small community. Both times, everyone inside escaped serious injury.
The sprawling facility won't be reopening anytime soon after the storm that hit Wednesday, however: Most of it has been reduced to a pile of rubble, little more than mangled beams and twisted steel. The first time, in 2002, a tornado tossed the roof into the parking lot. Ventilation fans, ductwork and wiring were torn away.
Several media outlets aired dramatic video Wednesday showing a massive funnel cloud roaring through Adairsville, a town of about 4,600 some 60 miles northwest of Atlanta.
Three people died because of the massive storm system that marched across the U.S. _ tornadoes killed one each in Tennessee and Georgia, while floodwaters killed a third in Maryland. While most came away with their lives, many lost their homes and were left with little else a day later.
Tens of thousands were without power at the storm's peak as a cold front sent what had been unseasonably high temperatures plummeting to near-freezing depths. Dangerous wind blanketed the nation's midsection, with subzero temperatures and wind chills recorded in the Dakotas. In Detroit, icy roads were blamed for a massive chain reaction wreck involving about 30 vehicles on Interstate 75. At least three people died there, and another pileup involving more than 40 vehicles near Indianapolis closed a stretch of Interstate 70 in both directions.
Others closely watched rivers swollen by torrential rains, and officials opened flood gates to ease pressure on dams in Maryland. Hundreds were evacuated to higher ground. In Anne Arundel County, one person apparently drowned in a flooded camp where homeless people live in tents, said police Lt. T.J. Smith.
Ernest Moran said he lives at the site with about 15 other people. He awakened Thursday morning to find "a swamp," he said, and escaped with only his dog and a knapsack.
Near the nation's capital, at least one motorist had to be rescued because of flash floods. In New England, powerful winds were the main problem as gusts topping 60 mph in some areas caused widespread power outages.
The tornadoes Tuesday and Wednesday broke the nation's longest break between tornado fatalities since detailed records began being kept in 1950, according to the Storm Prediction Center and National Climatic Data Center. The last one was June 24 in Florida. That was 220 days ago as of Tuesday.
Winter tornadoes are not unheard of: In January 2012, at least two tornadoes ripped across Alabama, killing two people and wiping out scores of homes and businesses. Warm air from the Gulf of Mexico can collide with cold air inland, creating the sort of instability that spawned this week's tornadoes.
National Weather Service meteorologist George Wetzel said the storm that tore through Adairsville was a high EF3 in strength, creating winds of more than 100 miles per hour. An EF5 is the strongest tornado category.
The storm traveled 25 miles across Bartow and Gordon counties, and it is not yet clear how long it took for the storm to travel through the area, Wetzel said.
By Thursday, the focus in Adairsville had turned to cleanup and rebuilding. Metal siding and fiberglass insulation dangled from trees; Christmas ornaments and knickknacks were strewn across lawns, the homes that had housed them no longer standing.
Dozens of law enforcement officials from several agencies swarmed the area, as well as other relief workers. A Krystal fast food restaurant in town served meals to rescuers as well as residents struggling to recover.
Daiki plant manager Wes Stephenson said Thursday that the facility would likely have to at least temporarily lay off most of its 90 employees. The storm knocked out most of its manufacturing capability, but there are some sections of the plant still standing where employees could do some finishing work. Stephenson said he hoped to keep a skeleton crew to do that finishing work until the rest of the plant could be repaired, which would likely take at least several months.

On another unrelated note, the Portland crowd is impressive as usual.
On another unrelated note, the Portland crowd is impressive as usual.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
davis has 3 rebounds in 21 min and hickson has 11 in 21 min
It's odd because we though Davis would be so much farther ahead than Rivers, but I'd say they are at about to the same level with respects to their Positions.
Davis is playing like someone that doesn't care and certainly not the #1 pick.
When this team is on offense, all you hear on the floor is "d'oh!"
Too much negativity on here tonight! But I get it, this has been really embarrassing. This rebuild is going to take longer than any of us want it to, that's for sure, but remember guys, what we have on the court now is not a legitimate basketball team. You shouldn't expect much at all.
remember when I talked about Davis lack of effort weeks ago and the forum jumped on me...
looking for team to bandwagon, pls help
Dell Demps PLEASE get us some scorers!
Please stop with the Davis non-sense. When he runs hard he has a long stride so it doesn't look like he is. He ALWAYS runs like that.
Secondly, Portland's frontline has athleticism and size. Bad matchup for him and Anderson. Guards getting beat like a drum don't help either.
"Its important to us to bring in good people, people who can fit in the locker room and people you want to root and cheer for. People that want to win. Were trying to build for the long haul. -Dell Demps
Yeah. Davis was late. Shoulda took his poster like a man.
Has anyone noticed how often Davis calls for the ball but doesn't get it??
I'm just not impressed with Davis. We all thought he would come in an make a difference. He gets bullied on defense, and our Guards can't find him on Offense. IT's just a stinky situation.
Say what you want, but i believe aminus massive dip in form has killed us. We dont have any production from SF anymore. I like to see vazquez get firey and attack like that. He needs to limit the **** ups and keep ballin

"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end." ~ Seneca
Dear valued visitor,
Sometimes even good things must come to an end.
I started SongClue as a simple tool to solve a simple problem - to find songs without knowing the title.
However, I've decided it's too simple of a problem. Google serves that purpose relatively well.
I have shutdown SongClue to focus on other, bigger projects.
Thank you for all your invaluable feedback.
You can still leave feedback on the facebook page.

This is one of the best frames ever for a touring set up. It would also make a great daily commuter bike. This frame can take a beating, very durable.
Comments about Surly Long Haul Trucker Frameset 26" '11:
I built a touring bike on a 2008 Surly LHT frame that I bought from Jenson. What a joy it has been! The first summer out, I took it the whole length of the Katy Trail in Missouri. I've ridden it through the crazy streets of San Francisco. I put 2.2" tires on it and rode through the beach sands in Ocean City, Maryland.
It's not a fast bike. You won't be racing this thing. But it handles remarkably well even when you load it down. The steel frame takes out the road buzz and just lets you settle in.
At first I was a little unhappy with the 26" wheels. I wanted 700c so I could use racing tires. But the 26" wheels are so much stronger, AND you can use fat mountain bike tires no problem. So it can be used on just about any type of terrain. I keep two sets of wheels and switch them out depending on the tires I'm using and the terrain I'm riding on.
It's a little expensive, but honestly, it's the best touring frame on the market.

"For me," he added, "the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions."
Addressing the idea that the Jews are God's chosen people, Einstein wrote that "the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people. As far as my experience goes, they are also no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything 'chosen' about them."

NEWORLEANS - New Orleans will host its 10th Super Bowl on February 3, and officials want to make sure the Crescent City puts its best foot forward.
On Saturday, there is an effort to rid the French Quarter of unsightly graffiti.
'It's a growing problem. It's also a recurring problem that we've continued to battle against. Property owners need to work with us,' said Annie Flettrich, the executive director of the French Quarter Business Association.
The cleanup will address public spaces, garbage cans, street signs, mailboxes and more, Flettrich said.
Volunteers will be split into groups and assigned to a section in the French Quarter.
The product used to remove the graffiti is green and comes in the form of wipes.
The Vieux Carre Graffiti Abatement Program is effective, and also raises awareness, according to Flettrich.
'It lets people know that we're out here. We have a lot of information on graffiti, graffiti removal. Different property owners are always contacting us from around the city. We help them figure out what's the best way to remove the graffiti on their property, because every situation is different,' she said.
The cleanup is from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and starts at the New Orleans Police Department Eighth District Station at 334 Royal St. Volunteers will receive lunch from the Royal House. For more information, call 309-1423 or visit http://www.fqba.org/news/?cat=33.

HAZARD – It has been less than a year since Taylor Cornett's life was tragically cut short following a shooting on the campus of Hazard Community and Technical College. This coming weekend, members of the community she called home are set to gather to remember her life and dedicate a local landmark in her honor.
At only 12 years old, Taylor Cornett was the youngest of three people murdered on Jan. 22, which also included her father Jackie and cousin Caitlin. It was an unthinkable series of events that unfolded on that day, and left the community in shock.
Earlier this year Perry County resident Mike Turner, who for the past few years has been working to honor the county's military veterans by renaming bridges in their honor, put forth the idea of doing the same for Taylor Cornett. Larry Caudill, Taylor's basketball coach at R.W. Combs Elementary, took the idea to her mother, who was in agreement.
Simone Beverly, one of Taylor's teammates, told the Herald in May it was something they wanted to do so that no one would forget what Taylor meant to them, and they hope to continue to work toward doing similar projects in the future.
"We hope we can do more things like this," Beverly said at the time. "We haven't thought of any yet, but we want to do things to keep her memory alive."
Turner and Taylor's teammates in May presented a resolution to the fiscal court to rename the bridge next to R.W. Combs on Highway 15 the Taylor Jade Cornett Memorial bridge. The resolution was also approved in Frankfort, and the group raised funds to pay for the sign, which was installed just before the beginning of the school year.
The dedication ceremony for the Taylor Jade Cornett Memorial Bridge is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 28 at 1 p.m. It will be held at R.W. Combs Elementary.

I arrived fashionably late for the North's Wednesday morning practice, deciding to get right to the meat of it – and upon my arrival North is running 11-on-11 and BANG!
B.J. Raji blows Alex Mack way back, all the way back into Graham Harrell before the play even develops. I was still a little groggy, but I think there was a RB under that pile, perhaps a stretch play.
Harrell had a pocket on the next play, makes it through his progressions, but not at an NFL pace and not surprisingly Sheets drops the dump off with a little help from the defender bearing down on him – simply too slow to develop. Sheets redeems his part a bit by taking a hard hit square in the back and hangs on to the ball.
Bomar takes the snaps, and begins with a toss sweep to Virginia RB Cedric Peerman ( a brief digression – under the category of "anything you can do I can do better, anything you can do I can do too" – While Sheets has been impressive, in at least as much as he's demonstrated to NFL scouts they should feel confident about the risk side of the equation based on his versatility and his ability to contribute in numerous ways and the amount of visibility they've been provided so far this week; however, I'm giving the nod to Peerman. He may not ever be that track star that Sheets is, but he's got NFL RB upside that I think you can objectively cap on Sheets – just something to think about and debate). Oh Bomar fumbles the next snap, and then Sheets makes an excellent cut back into traffic. Go figure.
With Brown in at QB, the first play has Oregon RB Jeremiah Johnson taking too many steps to the line, he's shown he can be more explosive and decisive, not being either on this play cost them. On play-action, Brown throws a 20-yard out on a line to Inglesias, all hands, perfectly placed and on-time.
Harrell hooks up with Gibson, but on the next play he's audibly pissed for being slow getting the ball to Peerman on the handoff.
Bomar fumbles another exchange under center. He then hits Sheets underneath, slow to deliver – an NFL defender gives up zero YAC on that play at best, perhaps worst.
The North moves into kick return formation. First up is UConn's Darius Butler. Next, by contrast, Penn State's Derrick Williams appeared to be another class for runner – speed, fluidity, cuts. Sheets on kickoffs continues to be the object of intrigue as someone that may not ever climb on the draft board to a point where he could contribute very early in various phases, but that's the draft in the fantasy football world we live in – thus, on a certain roster, given a need or void, he could represent tremendous value. Derrick Williams returning another kick manages to put it into yet ANOTHER gear – he's emerging on the "helped himself" short list this week. Darius Butler has the misfortunate of returning the next kick, providing the sharp visual contrast. Jeremiah Johnson splits the difference, appearing solid, not spectacular.
Breaking into positional battles, my focus turns to the line play (simply because that's in my general vicinity, since NFL Network's clunky bullshit makes roaming around at a brisk pace impossible – thumbs down on the trend of experience user-friendliness since they've taken over).
With Oklahoma's Phil Loadholt at RT, Virginia OLB/DE Clint Sintim is no problem on two snaps. Illinois OL Xavier Fulton then faces Sintim, getting beat to the inside, but gets under his pads on the next snap and stops him. Wisconsin OL Kraig Urbik manages to withstand a very strong and impressive attack from Iowa DL Mitch King on consecutive snaps.
Cal OL Alex Mack cannot be enjoying this match up with Boston College DT B.J. Raji. Raji gets huge penetration once again on the first snap. To Mack's credit, he showed he could get some leverage and hold up for a bit, but lost when Raji demonstrated excellent quickness on a great spin. It might not be too early to move Raji from the "helped himself immensely" category to crowning him "winner of the week" – after all, the pads are off tomorrow.
Oregon OL Max Unger faces off with Purdue DL Alex Magee; and with two more snaps, Magee shows he wants to make a strong case for the best package of size, power, speed and moves on display at Ladd-Peebles Stadium. Oregon State OL Andy Levitre takes on NIU DE Larry English, probably the last time these guys will ever line up against each other. Levitre's game is on the interior and English is the closest thing to a pass rusher in the mold of Colts Dwight Freeney on this field, and it showed with English using his speed to the outside on the first snap, and like Freeney, after biting outside, Levitre gets beat when English spins back to the inside. Levitre taking on Illinois DL Will Davis and the results are a much more even exchange.
Cincinnati OL Trevor Canfield lining up against Missouri DL Ziggy Hood is another look at how much Canfield works to demonstrate strength, technique and attitude on every play, at least suggesting tremendous upside with a solid foundation to start.
Virginia Tech OL Ryan Shuman took on BC DT B.J. Raji and then teammate DT Ron Brace on successive snaps; and, perhaps being a bit more familiar with the Eagles, put each of them down to the turf. Cal OL Alex Mack faced Michigan DE Tim Jamison and oddly, despite losing the first battle, Jamison had position to win the next one, but coming out of his spin move, lacked quickness to separate, allowing time for Mack to recover and with a determined effort to finish the play, Mack engaged Jamison, blocking him out of the play.
Oregon State OL Andy Levitre went up against UConn DL Cody Brown and then Illinois DL Will Davis on consecutive reps of two snaps. The reaction to the first play was that Brown simply bull-rushed Levitre and knocked him on his ass – or I should say, the audible reaction was that a player got knocked on his ass, and it was no qualitative indication of what took place – in other words, I'm not buying it. The proportion of wins and the eye test tells any observer that the clear advantage here is the DL is all over this snap, in that sense, Levitre may have been ready per se, but not really; call it disadvantaged. Again facing Davis, they have an even exchange.
Oklahoma OT Phil Loadholt handles Michigan DE Tim Jamison on back-to-back snaps from the RT position. Wisconsin OL Kraig Urbik gets smoked by Iowa DL Mitch King, but impressively Urbik comes back to stuff Purdue DL Alex Magee.
Oregon OL Max Unger at C in shotgun gets pushed aside by B.C. DT Ron Brace, but then Brace gets drawn offsides – again, the DL is still all over the snap as much as they can be. On the next snap, Brace is handled nicely by Unger. Perhaps Unger bought himself a half-second and that bought all the time he needed to get the leverage on Brace he needed.
Oregon State OL Andy Levitre against BC DT B.J. Raji – this should be interesting with what's developed with the snap count. Sure enough, Raji's apparent dominance is mitigated, and without so much speed off the snap, Levitre and Raji battle evenly on consecutive snaps. Likewise for UConn OL William Beatty going up against NIU DE Larry English, this becomes a more even battle when English gets slowed down out of the blocks. Levitre gets pushed back by Illinois DL Will Davis and allows Davis to swim around him; again on the next snap, Davis gets the better leverage, push and penetration into the backfield.
Oklahoma OT Phil Loadholt loses on consecutive snaps much to my surprise. Michigan DE Tim Jamison beats him inside and then faking inside just speed rushes outside and beats Loadholt badly a second time.
Cincinnati OL Trevor Canfield looks as strong technically and physically as anyone could, stopping Missouri DL Ziggy Hood dead in his tracks on his first snap. Amazingly, the next play, he totally breaks down against Purdue DL Alex Magee, stamping his performance with a loud F-bomb expletive.
Virginia Tech OL Ryan Shuman and BC DT Ron Brace face off again, Brace running right around Shuman's left side. However, on the next snap, Shuman engaged, and when the opportunity arose to use Brace's weight as leverage against him, Shuman put him to the ground.
Winding down the practice in 11-on-11, Brown goes under center first. He's quick through his targets, dumps to Purdue RB Kory Sheets, who bobbles the ball badly and up in the air resulting in an INT.
Harrell hits Cincinnati TE Connor Barwin deep middle, who then gains yards with a nice looking run after the catch. Sheets makes a nice off tackle run on the next play. Harrell ends his series with a throw to nowhere – the turf (I can't say that his or Bomar's play has shown improvement over the course of the week, given the time off, that should at least mean a gain in consistency, not a trend that tilts the other way).
Bomar's series begins with a Peerman run that results in a win for the DL. The subsequent play is a screen to Sheets, generally well defended, credit Cal LB Zack Follett for no gain on the play.
Brown is back under center and Oregon RB Jeremiah Johnson gets the call, he's quietly gone about the business of playing football, hasn't hurt his case, so depending on who's watching, and the need, that means Johnson's had a solid week at worst. On Brown's next snap, he throws a quick release strike to Inglesias – I'd say best ball of the week.
Harrell's next play is slow to develop, checking down to Sheets – there's a sharp contrast between the QBs in that regard and the scouts have to be taking notice – it's helping one or hurting the other or both. A Harrell toss to Peerman results in a loss of yards by the penetration from the DL, McKenzie and Hood converging on the handoff.
An ugly and with Bomar stopping play when King blows Mack up, all the way into the backfield, onto the turf at Bomar's feet.

Comments about Eastern Nighttrain MTB Rear Wheel:
I have never had a set of mountain freestyle wheels last longer than 4 months before. Part of that is due to the light weight wheels I have run, and the other is due to the style of riding I am doing on them. I was expecting these wheels to do like the rest, and have been constantly blow away by how durable they are. In the year of owning them, I have only had to true the rear 3 times and the front once! Since they are so affordable in relation to the rest of the similar products, I am buying three more sets for my other bikes and will be spending about as much on all three as I would on one of the wheel sets from Mavic or Easton and have similar weights, but proven strength!

Gadkari must resign: Jethmalani
With pressure rising on BJP President Nitin Gadkari over graft allegations, Ram Jethmalani on Tuesday morning held a press conference where he insisted that Gadkari must resign.
Jethmalani also said that he would not quit the party.
Click here to read in detail what Ram Jethmalani said
Mahesh's resignation
Mahesh Jethmalani on Monday resigned from the party's national executive saying he cannot function till Gadkari continues to be the president.
'RSS wants Gadkari to quit'
Speaking to a Television news channel, Ram Jethmalani said that RSS also believes Gadkari should step down, but they wouldn't voice out their opinion because of past associations.
Jethmalani's statement has no value: BJP
BJP played down Ram Jethmalani's remark on that several senior leaders within the party are unhappy with the current state of affairs and want Gadkari to quit.
Gadkari to meet Advani
Meanwhile, Nitin Gadkari reportedly met senior BJP leader Sushma Swaraj for around an hour. He is also expected to meet BJP veteran LK Advani later in the day.
'No need to publicise internal problems'
BJP leader Balbir Punj criticised Jethmalani for his remark that there is a clear division within the party on Nitin Gadkari.
"There are enough opportunities and internal mechanisms available within the party where anybody can raise any issue concerning the party. And therefore, those who are trying to publicise the problems concerning the party, they are not doing any service either to the party or to the ideology to which they are supposed to be committed," said Punj.
Click here to read in detail what Balbir Punj said
Sushma Swaraj supports Gadkari?
The latest statement by the senior BJP leader said that she "supports party President Nitin Gadkari".
Earlier, reports suggested that Sushma Swaraj too had said that she could not support Nitin Gadkari as the party president any more.
'Jethmalanis not so important'
"Views expressed by Ram Jethmalani and Mahesh Jethmalani are not so important, as they are not the party's core members," Sushil Kumar Modi said.
Don't attack Rahul Gandhi: Congress
Congress MP Rajiv Shukla lashed out at BJP MP and veteran lawyer Ram Jethmalani for targetting Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi.
"As far as Jethmalani is concerned, I can only advise 'uncle' Jethmalani that he should stay away from these kinds of observations. He is too old, too senior to make such an observation about Rahul Gandhi. Rahul Gandhi is not saying anything against Mr. Jethmalani," said Shukla.
Courtesy: ANI
LK Advani skipped the BJP core group meeting.
BJP core group meeting ended and BJP spokesperson Rajiv Shankar addressed the media.
The BJP said, "Nitin Gadkari and LK Advani skipped the core meeting to allow frank disclosure."
The party also said that they have full faith in Gadkari's leadership.
BJP added that, "Gurumurthy said there was no moral or legal wrongdoing by Gadkari."
The party said that Gadkari was willing to face any probe.
BJP told party workers not to air views that will hurt party sentiments in public.

OK we get it , you love it , Katie didnt . Let it go ....
Hi Folks,
I've been called names because of some hypercritic ciritique on Katie Puckricks nasty review of Secretions Magnifique of Etat Libre D'Orange <ref: http://www.basenotes.net/threads/261510-Funniest-review-ever-Katie-Puckrik-and-Secretions-Magnifiques!>
Here is the proof that the juice is not lethal:
As You see, I've got a not so full bottle by now. When I lately sprayed it on another man he said it would smell pleasent, sexy. His mother agreed to that. Similarities to JOOP have been stated. In the end, this is the fifth out of six who didn't reject the "tear shedding penis" as horrid, repulsive or in an other way unbearable. The sixth person, a young girl got a foul note out of it. She has grown up in the city with only rarely going to the country side. Maybe that excuses her overreacting to the grain of salt within every perfume of French origin. Which herein is a nitro-something reminiscent of decomposing organic material. Hey, hays smell comes from that too!
Other, earlier reviews of European origin got it similar: not that bad, if bad at all, but strange, something to discover piece by piece.
I'm quite often at Loire Atlantique in France for vacation. St. Nazaire close to Nantes is my preferred place to go. When being there my GF and I enjoy oysters, bread, garlic, parsley and not at least the simple but terrific wine Muscadet Sevre Et Maine Sur Lie for diner. The people und us eat oysters as a snack after the farmers market - 10cc each, fresh from the region. If You as a perfume-o-holic lack that reference, chances are high that SM speaks in a foreign tounge. For instance the French at the western shoreline have a tradition to pick small snails direct from the surge for a feast. The contact to natures raise and fall may be more direct than possible in Hollywood, US not to mention NYC, where nature is smelly poisonous rot if it is present at all.
As said before my first reaction to SM was: white apple with black rotting spots on it. That and windfall, wet grass, trees bark, dewy flowers all over. In other words, that fragrance has blown me back in time. It was a complete picture, emotions of familiarity included of a lucky time of my childhood. My olfactory system couldn't get it first and had to search backward that far!
Maybe that I'm a little bit too old to jump on the bandwaggon. I'm as old as Katie and hardly resist to get my first platic surgery. Me as an experienced person of old European values and traditions think this fragrance has earned at least the merit of being once peculiar and hence a wothwhile chewing gumm for old farts who otherwise lost their impact. It is as synthetic as Beyond Paradise (which I own too) but French - consequently

I really dont see a point here aside from you actually liking it
In other words, we Non-Europeans are simple, uneducated bufoons who are unable to appreciate some of the "finer" things in life.

One thing about Basenotes, we tend to be an open and tolerant bunch. One perfume critic's opinion is just that--an opinion.
Don't get too upset over other reviewers. Wear what you like.
I don't know how many times I have disagreed strongly with Turin and Sanchez. I still like reading their guide on perfumes.

What's up with the attitude of all the replies? This is clearly one of the more interesting and detailed first posts of the thread.
I also think, there are certain differences between european and for example american sensibilities in general. So what? He didn't say anything offending there, did he? Czeslaw Milosz's book Vision from San Francisco Bay is an excellent book about these differences - magnificent depth. It's truly intriguing subject; not something we should ban because it's offending or condescending. It's not. Talk like this is not about particular persons, but about cultural history. Understanding history and certain cultural undercurrents might help us figure out, why perfumery - or taste in fragrances - in USA for example is different to that of France or England. Ok, now this is getting off-topic, since it isn't the main point at all here.
Katie Puckrick didn't have anything even remotely interesting to say about the fragrance; not that she even tried. It was not a review, it was a performance. WildThingy's image of white apple with black spots is interesting and something new. It smelling metallic and milky isn't. I've read many times, that if someone says he likes it, he must be lying. I think attitude like this - along with some rude comments - made WildThingy open this thread.

No, honest, the "review" by Katie was an other one in a row of uninspired bashings of the frag in question. It's o/k - no question - to dismiss the frag as unpleasent to nauseating whatever You like to think about it. To stage the disgust in public and to make up a competition on who's revolting reaction is the most entertaining isn't that polite, is it?
I'm not condescending here. I would like to remind You to respect other peoples feelings, whatever you share them or not. Maybe you miss in understanding them because of lacking experience with life, coastlines, antimatter, apples ... .
Just in case of strong dislikeing: how did the perfumer achieve that tremendous effect without reminding you of something specific? Art? One thing it is not: trivial.
Thank You!

Thank you WildThingy. I like this as a fragrance review. It is observant and articulate.
I do wish you could let go of the impulse to put your view in competition with those who disagree. You write well enough, even in a second language, for your words to stand on their own. Don't waste your time attacking a puff piece like Katie's review -- you're obviously putting more thought into her video than she did. I for one would much rather hear what you have to say about perfume, not about the silly things some people say or do with them to keep each other entertained.
(I myself have only sniffed S.M. on paper in a store. I found the top notes to be very unpleasant, with a sharp metallic quality that I expect must be the "iodine" note people talk about. But I moved on to other, more interesting things, so I don't really know S.M. well enough to pass judgment on it.)
Even disgust is of interest. You say it is the metal in it. Metal == rot == lipid per oxide (i'm not L Turin, though). I personally think that the metal is supernatural clean. Stunning. I just try to connect the "notes" to something known as with every frag. Regarding metal, what do You think about Habanita of Molinard. I found it unbearable because that was criminal dirty bloody, go figure!
That said, I think all critics (food, perfume, art, film, etc) should me viewed as "people with an opinion," and not sayers of the gospel truth.

I had a sample of SM and I didn't get anything like semen, blood, or any bodily fluids. That it smelled like to me is a dog that had jumped in a pool with lots of chlorine and then sat in the sun for a while. Dog Breath + Chlorine with some milky aspects. I remember one time someone had said they thought it smelled like someone had ground up a bunch of vitamins and pills, concentrated them, and then wore them as a fragrance, and that is also what I think it smells like. Anyway, I like your review! I do like Katie's review, but it was obviously just a quick, all in good fun review. I like hearing both sides to the fragrance =D
I'm not your toy.
I have to recreate my likeings while I'm wearing that famous dingy Dzing! for a while. Decomposing (!!-again-!!) paper and such ...
ps: she is fond of Encens Et Bubblegum incrementing her liking of Jasmin Et Cigarette of ELDO. An alteration in the end ...

Glad you posted a review! Actually, I don't think there's a need for this to be in reference to Katie's - it's perfectly fine to post reviews all your own here, in fact it's encouraged. I think mentioning Katie's only resurfaces unnecessary drama from that thread.
Secretions still strikes me as foul on re-testing, but I don't mind Charogne, which if anything, has an even fouler association. For some reason indole strikes horror into many folks but it doesn't do that to me, so it's not so strange that reactions to Secretions are variable.
Ahhh! I was so excited to try Charogne and boy...I sure was not prepared for that one. Smells like someone melted a big pot of cheese and put some bubblegum and jasmine in it. Blech.
I'm not your toy.
I did a review of that review. Tried to correct an issue or two. That's all. Cry out, shedd Your tears, express yourself, but don't do it for a competition of disgust. Because of that would be self referential. Thank You!
I'm just happy that the users of this fragrance are accross the ocean, so the chances that i found someone here wearing are minimal. I don't dare to even call this nonsense a fragrance, it's so nasty, nauseating, that i don't think it deserve to be called a fragrance. I'd vomit if i were forced to be at the same place with a person that wears this horrible thing. I had a mini of this one, and i had to keep it isolated of my wardrobe, because the smell was contaminating my other fragrances. Close to the bottle like the pic, the scent could cause me nauseas. The worst aroma that i have ever smelled on my life. Nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty, nasty!

SM is proof that bad press is better than no press. How many of us would've even bothered to try it, let alone seek it out, if not for its infamy? KP did SM the biggest favor of all.
I wonder if Katie Puckrick had called her video, "Secretions Magnifique live sampling" it would have changed things. If we knew she wasn't even trying to review it, and was more or less a reaction video akin to those of the 2 girls one cup reaction videos.
With SM the punch line is in the fragrance as to speak with L Turin. 'Think Encens Et Bubblegum is the next unavoidable purchase. But it could be Arabie instead or Habit Rouge.
Last edited by WildThingy; 12th October 2010 at 08:28 AM. Reason: words fail me
The bottle has a penis with sprinkling semen - it's supposed to be jarring and unconventional, yes?
Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but I think it's fair to say that most people would find applying a semen smell to their body as less attractive than, well, just about anything else. If that makes me unrefined and incapable of accepting 'natural' smells, then so be it. With the hundreds of colognes out there, I'll pass on the 'blood, metal and semen' arrangements. To each their own. I appreciated the video review, and I appreciate yours.
Icelandic proverb: Every man likes the smell of his own farts.
I lived in Europe for 3 years, I never came across anyone that smelled or would want to smell like S.M. It is false to claim Europeans as liberated souls that are in more "in tune" with bodily odours and hence accepting of S.M. The people I met there would gag on the c^%p.
I can deal with niche releases that are so avant garde that they become borderline unwearable but S.M is plain revolting. It contradicts what a perfume is meant to be.
For the very life of me, I cannot make heads or tails out of these remarks. All I know is that SM sucks the big wazoo.
Thanks WildThingy for your thoughtful review. I acquired the Coffret of ELdO 16 scents, and this one was interesting. It actually reminded me of egg-whites, before being made into meringue, nothing sulfuric, just something I had not expected to smell. It was the main note, and I felt there was something really pleasantly floral being restrained underneath. This one is not for me, but then, neither was Je Suis Un Homme, which was the first aromatic fougére I've experienced.

I am European, I love the concept of SM, but find it unquestionably abominable, unless of course a person is anosmic to certain rotten nitriles (according to some recent research, pretty much for any molecule, there's somebody who's anosmic).
But he bottle in the pic seems a store tester, so is wildthingy serious, or did he just take a pic in a store and pretend he's been using it? (and, for all we know, he could have simply decanted it for other people).
If not, more importantly, where can one buy the bottle with the whimsical label? I wanted to buy SM soon, but this side of the ocean I only see the 50ml bottle, which regrettably has only a generic label.
You know, strange you should say that about the French vis-à-vis body odour. (Which, by the way, always seems to be the typical ubiquitous insulting Yank viewpoint regarding the "great unwashed French"). I, on the other hand, knew someone with the absolute worst body odour I'd yet come across (& who refused point blank to use deodorant/perfume of any kind, to help soften the blow). And he, believe it or not, was actually a fellow Californian. ~ So, point being, I'll wager you find "rank body odour" pretty much in any corner of the globe ! ...
Besides, don't we have "body odour" to thank for the probable primary reason perfumery was even first developed in the first place ?!? ~ (And the subsequent glorious reasoning behind a pinch of castoreum/civit/indole/musk et al ....... ).
And regarding SM, I'd suggest you really shouldn't take all the "blood spit and spunk" marketing crap as gospel criteria for judging a scent which has yet to pass your nose. I mean, I can fully understand how a male (especially a full-on hetero' one ;o) might immediately shy-away/feel threatened(?)/revolted by a fragrance with purported spunk notes and a spouting penis on the bottle. But you could very well find, like I did (and everyone else I asked), that the actual fragrance as a whole doesn't actually smell anything like the purported bodily notes. Or rather that it's outcome is greater than the sum of it's parts. (Or you might find vague references, but only if you convince your mind to find them ;o) If on the other hand you ignore all the very clever marketing "mumbo-jumbo", you might even find you might even enjoy the fragrance after all !?? (As I've certainly been surprised to enjoy many a fragrance which actually contain notes which in isolation I dislike). ...
Just a suggestion. You might even surprise yourself ? And if not, and you still find it disagreeable. At least then you can do so from an actual informed basis. And not just on the basis of a racy bottle/pic alone. Which is rather unfair, not !?
And by the by, ... I may be alone here, ... but I certainly do NOT enjoy the smell of my own farts. )
@ WildThingy : ... I totally agree that SM has been very unfairly demonised. And it's certainly nowhere near as disagreeable as it's been made out to be. I think most of the revolt is really due to the power of suggestion, and distorted associations. ~ I guarantee that if people first smelled the fragrance knowing nothing about it or it's contained notes/ad-copy/image, their reactions would be very different and waaaay more agreeable. ...
I find it especially interesting for the fact the every time I go back to it, it manages to smell completely different from what I remembered it. And I smell some further new facet each time. It also manages to smell very different on all the people I've tried it on, (markedly so, more so than other fragrances, almost like a completely different fragrance altogether. ~No mean feat !)
And I totally agree that if I had to associate it to any other fragrance, (something I've never been able to do before due to it's singular character). I must say, I think Beyond Paradise is actually pretty much spot-on ! ~ (Although I actually dislike Beyond Paradise immensely. Probably as much as most people dislike SM (LOL) ~ I think SM a far superior fragrance to BP in every possible way !
There is however one very minor thing you mentioned that I just do NOT agree with at all. I find absolutely NO resemblance whatsoever, not even in the slightest, between SM and JOOP ! (WTF ??? I don't know where you coming from there ???) ~ To me, if anything, they are more like polar opposites really ! ~ (Sorry ! )
(Oh, unless you meant : a scent that greatly divided opinion ??)

Most of the time I am very proud of the Basenotes community. Time after time I have witnessed the thoughtfulness, empathy & genuine friendship that members of this community extend to others - oldtimers & newcomers alike. There are other times, however, when egos get the upper hand and civility goes out the window. My philosophy is that I won't say anything here that I would not say if you were standing in front of me. Welcome to Basenotes, each and every one of us. ~ TwoRoads
And though I admire it, find it interesting, and therefore defend it. Unfortunately still not quite enough to find it FBW. (A mediumish decant has been more than enough, thankyou )
To clearify things, I would not tell anybody is lacking something if not likeing SM. Most recently I tried it again, and there it was, that metallic smell and nothing else. It lasted one or two hours and was overwhelmingly strong! But then in a sudden, may be by fatigue it was blown away.
What SM reminded me after that was what it says. But, stay tuned, it was great, had the same power as the topnote(s): chestnut, slightly roasted, the variant You can buy in Western Europe on Weihnachtsmarkt (Christmas Fair). And, the reference was the female who occasionally - You know, it happens even to a prim scholar as me sometimes that he falls in love, I had to sniff all over her ... . There is definitely a common demominator of these three smells ... . And know what, I like particularly that smell. It reminds me of good times I had and will hopefully have on and on. It is not the smell of decomposing stuff, but - people are rather bigot sometimes.
Perfume is since Guerlain a matter of erotic engagement - Jicky, Mitsouko, Shalimar, all about love stories. By that time 1900+ a rather new idea it was to connect perfume mentaly to erotics by a "story", the so called scoop. ELdO and esp. with SM mimicks that as a hyperbole. Well done IMHO.
As far as people like Katie, who is "of otherwise indenyable interlectual credit" go silly about words and the idea that human semen has some kind of a smell, o/k. She describes herself as a former groupy. What then was that?! Do people think that mankind proliferates by offshoots?
Btw: SM is NOT suposed to smell of spunk, but JICKY stinks of cat's number two!

Tried this about a half an hour ago. Don't believe the hype because it's not that scary. I was prepared after reading many reviews and seeing Katie's, to smell something absolutely horrible, instead I got salty ocean water with soft florals and musk and like Fred360 said: egg whites. Yep folks, that's as scary as it gets. Now excuse me while I go layer it with a bit of MKK to really take myself over the top.
Neither the "good" nor "bad" reviews of SM led me to think that I'd like it. I am surprised that so many people feel the need to sample certain frags when there is no reason to believe that they would like the frag. Is this the olfactory equivalent of "rubber necking" at the scene of a car accident?

Had never seen any of the reviews prior to trying this a while back. I just didn't care that much for it when I tried it.
I tested this twice and have a decant. I will own it one day out of principle because I love ELdO. I just think that some noses are immune to whatever "disgusting" note is in there. I almost threw up twice and I have a VERY strong stomach. SM is the only frag I've reviewed on here. It smells (more than anything IMO) to the smell of a wound that has stopped bleeding and is trying to heal. I do think it is artistic though...like modern art.
In defense of Katie, I don't think she was "performing" per se, she was testing it live (as someone said earlier) and was just displaying her visceral reaction. I thought it was particularly funny, because everything she said about it, I could totally see where she was coming from.
We all know that frags are elusive.....we all have to just like what we like and leave the rest, I think.

And besides, there is also such a thing as "curiosity", (which, it seems by your comment, you don't seem to possess much of). ) ... After all the hype there is no way I wouldn't want to experience it for myself (mostly to find out if it was warranted ??). And personally I found that it didn't. It's been totally blown out of proportion IMO. I don't find SM offensive in the least !

On the other hand, if someone really is that anxious about his smell of her, SM won't do the trick. So SM won't do it for the most of us. I wonder how someone could possibly pile up a severe amount of whatever is considered to be "perfume", but miss any experimental stuff which may bear a challenge. To me that looks like a marionette hanging in the threads of commerce. The new "pure malt", U kno ... and not to forget about CREED, Amen
