The Bulls have to make significant improvements on defence if they are to sustain their title charge.
Their defensive failings have been largely overlooked because of their attacking prowess (they are the tournament's leading try-scorers with 24).
However, their defensive line has looked porous at times from structured play while fundamental errors and lapses of concentration in defending broken field attacks have been prevalent in their four matches. This has seen them concede an average of 3.75 tries per match – a woeful record for a team who have consistently been among the tournament's best defensive units over the last four years.
The Brumbies, Waratahs and Highlanders threatened to exploit this newly developed vulnerability, but faded under attacking pressure from the Bulls. More experienced units, particularly on their home track, without the legion of blue-clad disciples screaming support for their demi-gods, and with the lung-busting altitude being a non-factor, would have sustained that pressure and possibly emerged with a victory.
The Bulls have seemingly mastered the art and science of attacking play under the new breakdown law interpretations but are nowhere near as efficient from a defensive perspective. This needs to be remedied as a priority, before an acute problem becomes a chronic one.
Significant progression needs to be made in a week and there are few sterner tests of a team's capacity to resist than the Hurricanes. The Wellington boys have admittedly fallen short of the standards they've set for themselves on attack, particularly in the Republic, but their opposition's contribution to their relative impotency must not be overlooked.
It is in the careful analysis of those matches, the Stormers' performance being the prime example, that the blueprint for an improved defensive showing is found.
The Stormers bossed the tackle point in their 37-13 defeat of the Canes at Newlands on Saturday, and subsequently gave themselves a better opportunity at contesting the ball on the deck. The Canes were seldom able to recycle the ball quickly, and this gave the Stormers' defensive line opportunities to reshape.
All teams rely heavily on the momentum gained from a speedy recycle to break down their opposition, but where the elite ones are able to adapt to a more pragmatic approach, the Canes tend to be fairly inflexible tactically. Cut their supply and their potency is severely diminished.
The Bulls rarely allow open wounds to fester, their 2008 title defence being an exception, and one can rest assured that there'll be an intense focus on that facet of play ahead of the Canes litmus test on Friday.
Sound defence has been the cornerstone of every successful rugby team, and if the Bulls are to reaffirm their credentials in that regard, it begins with passing the aforementioned test emphatically.

The former Loaves & Fishes Christian Food Ministry building and its contents will be up for auction sometime in November, according to a Graham auction company that has placed signs at the 509 S. Lexington Ave. location in downtown Burlington.
Without warning, the food distribution center closed its doors Aug. 28, and its board of directors released a statement through the United Way of Alamance County stating, "We feel that we have served this community well for almost 15 years and that our mission has been fulfilled."
Kenneth Teague, owner of and auctioneer at Teague Auction & Realty Co., said the food ministry's building and its contents will be up for bid during an on-site auction but the date is still not known. The original Nov. 2 date listed has been postponed.
Included in the auction will be the commercial property, its contents and the former Loaves & Fishes vehicles. The auction won't include food, because there's none left in the building.
"All of the food and everything has been given to another … charitable (organization)," Teague said Monday.
He said he received the auction paperwork from the ministry's board of directors about two weeks ago.
"They all signed a contract to sell it all," Teague said. "It'll be piece by piece."
He said the building's contents up for auction include large walk-in coolers, walk-in freezers, shelving, racks, computers, two forklifts and a John Deere Gator utility vehicle. A box truck, vans and a car will also be auctioned.
"We'll have a big listing," said Teague. "There's a lot of equipment there."
He didn't think there are any special parameters restricting who can bid on the property even though it was once owned by a nonprofit. Teague said, "As far as I know, anyone can buy it."
According to Alamance County tax records, the property's market value is listed at $523,072.
Teague said the complete auction listing will be put on the Teague Auction & Realty Co. website, as soon as a date for the auction is finalized. He is working with Loaves & Fishes' former executive director Brenda Allen, who asked that the Nov. 2 date be postponed.
"We had a date set on it, but I think it may be pushed back a week or so," he said, indicating Allen had requested a later date. Allen, who blamed negative media coverage and a resulting drop in donations for the ministry's closure, was unavailable for comment Monday afternoon.
As soon as the auction date is confirmed, larger signs will be placed at the property to advertise, Teague said.
He said proceeds from the auction will first go to Loaves & Fishes to pay off existing expenses, including a mortgage on the real estate.
"They've got debt that's got to be satisfied and paid," Teague said. "And after that, it's my understanding that if there's anything left, it'll go to some other … charitable organizations in the county."

Talking with Abdi Abdirahman, it's clear his outlook on running embodies Rudyard Kipling's admonition to "Meet with triumph and disaster, and treat those two impostors just the same."
"I never get too down on myself after a bad race, go home and beat myself up by training twice as hard," Abdirahman says. "Just like I'd never use a good race as a reason to get satisfied and train less. I've had a lot more good races than bad ones, so I know there's always another race I can do well in."
There were few, however, who thought the 2012 Olympic trials marathon in Houston in January would be one of those good performances, in spite of some decent road races the year before, including a fifth place at Falmouth and a commanding win at the USA 20K championships in New Haven. Most running fans viewed those as blips in an otherwise lackluster two-year run-up to the trials, some sputtering flashes of an athletic supernova ready for its final burnout.
"There are a lot of people out there on message boards and stuff who don't know what the hell they're talking about," Abdirahman says. "But that's OK, we need them; they motivate us to get out and train to prove them wrong. Coming into the trials people doubted me; they were saying, 'This guy is done, he should retire.' When I'm done, I'll know I'm done. I'll walk off the track–you won't have to push me off."
In Houston he placed third, making his fourth Olympic team, a feat achieved by only one other male American distance runner, fellow University of Arizona alum George Young, who won a bronze medal in the 1968 Olympic steeplechase and made teams from 1960 to 1972.
Through a long and often stellar career, Abdirahman has had moments that make the casual observer question his focus and dedication, or at the very least, his attention to the small details of his sport. Like surging into the lead midway through a national championship road race–and right off course, missing a key turn and going from first to fifth in the space of three strides. Or failing to wear a hat or long sleeves in a single-digit temperature cross country championship–not the wisest tactic for a rail-thin East African emigre with a shaved head–and succumbing to the cold halfway through the race.
Those who know him well, however, say, to crib a phrase often applied to Manny Ramirez, another supremely gifted athlete with fluctuating focus, that's just "Abdi being Abdi." For every athletic racing gaffe or sub-par, seemingly half-hearted performance, there have been 10 efforts of sheer brilliance, dotted with multiple national titles and near American records. Through it all, Abdirahman has faced races, and life in general, with a laid-back, que sera, sera outlook that seems the antithesis of the highly focused, driven attitude displayed by most distance runners of his pedigree.
"That's just the way I am, always have been," he says. "I'm just laid back, enjoying life. You can't be going 100 percent all the time, every day–you need to back off, physically and mentally, or you won't last. I think that's the reason I've had such a long career.
"I know what races count, and if you look at my career, when it came to that point I was usually ready. No one remembers how fast you ran in early season races, but they never forget how many national championships you won or Olympic teams you made."

Chrome prompts for a folder to put the bookmark in, so I make sure the bookmark goes in the right folder when I create it. The option I chose was 'Never' because with this system, I never have to organize them explicitly since they always organized as soon as they are created.
My massive brain prompts me to put bookmarks in folders, so the same is true for me, even though I use a Mozilla browser.
It helps that I keep a set of folders in the bookmarks toolbar, and store everything in one of those folders, so it's usually just a matter of dragging and dropping.
Good idea; several others in later comments as well.
I got used to bookmarks, have several thousand (yeah, ok, I read a lot, am not all that mobile, can't afford to get out much, and memory sucks) and have maybe 75 sites in Opera's speeddial. I used to organize them episodically as need arose or enthusiasm allowed.
Before I ditched Windows I used for years an excellent bookmark manager, Linkstash. It had tags, color coding, comments, and made it easy to sync fa
On Chromium, I only have the quick list (in the "Incredible Start Page" extension). At present, it has about 10, and no other bookmarks are saved in that browser.
In Opera, I have nested lists of bookmarks probably well over a thousand. Alas, some have not been visited for a while, and may be defunct - I just tested "Astronomy/Equipment/Film Test" and got a 404 page. The bookmarks get organized rarely, and purged only when some site has been unresponsive for quite a while.

I do the same. It's not adding bookmarks that is a problem, but removing the ones you don't need or don't exist anymore.
And you never feel the need to remove bookmarks for unused/dead sites or to reorganize into different logical groups?
Not really, no. When I click on a bookmark which directs to a dead page, I just delete it. XMarks syncs across all my devices, no need to do anything.

In other words you feel the need to remove bookmarks for unused/dead sites.
The rest of us with other browsers are doing the same thing.
You never ever ever ever decide that a folder has too many items and needs subfolders? Really?
Again, not really, no. Te only folder that has more bookmarks that fit on my screen is "funstuff", with funny links, and i usually scroll down or right-click, then click "bookmark manager" to see all the links with scrollbars and everything.
All else is pretty well organized, and for example I don't link to a specific article but rather to the website containing that article.

So does Firefox, and I would assume also IE, although I'm not going to bother to open it up to test it out. This is really the option I would have chosen had it been available. Instead, I chose "never".
Tis. Mark as insightful, please. XMarks + clean folder structure and you don't need to "organize" anything. It's organized already.

I would argue no. I think of organizing as bringing order to chaos, not keeping an already established order.
For example, if my bookshelf is organized first by author and then by title, and every time I buy a new book and place it on the shelf I just add it in where it belongs, then I wouldn't say I organize my bookshelf every time I buy a new book. I would just say my bookshelf stays organized, and that I just maintain the existing order.
However, if my bookshelf had no order and I sat down and arranged the books by author and then title, then I would say I organized the bookshelf.
In more relevant-to-the-discussion terms, I would only count organizing bookmarks as bringing up the bookmark manager, which I never have to do (Never meaning haven't used it since I adopted this system).
This assumes a bookmark fits into one and only one folder. This is rarely the case. Which is why I prefer TagSieve, which allows you to tag your bookmarks with multiple tags, where tags are equivalent to folders. It also has a nice "tag cloud" display. Make things much easier and nicer to find, and doesn't cripple you with being only a tree hierarchy.
What is seriously annoying and completely unacceptable about all bookmark systems tough, is that bookmarks...
1. aren't files in *actual* directories. (You know
1. aren't files in *actual* directories. (You know, Unix philosophy: everything is a file.) So you can't process them with shell scripts and can't use them anywhere else. Which is a kind of lock-in. A really stupid, lazy one. 2. don't link to actual XPaths or anchors *within* the document.
The first can be solved, by simply dragging the links / tabs / url bar into a directory, to create a link file.
1. IE uses real folders and files, so oddly IE is more open in this respect (cue gasps of amazement)
2. I have several bookmarks set to anchors, most of which work. Those that don't are because the anchor was removed from the page. But you're right about XPaths though.
The option I chose was 'Never' because with this system, I never have to organize them explicitly since they always organized as soon as they are created.
I organize mine at creation time as well. Yet, I chose "Constantly" since the state of my bookmarks is "Always Organized". Que sera sera.
I synch them though (Score:4, Informative)
As I use Chrome, I synch my bookmarks between several computers, phone and tablet. This has its ups and downs.
That I can get to a site whatever I am using is good but having 100's of bookmarks is OK on a PC with a nice big screen but it gets a bit confusing on my phone. Sometimes too there is a mobile link (like here) that is better for the small screen. So I have multiple links for the same site.
I do the tidying up from the PC. Even a 7" tablet screen is too small to do this.
Fortunately mobile Chrome segregates synced bookmarks from the desktop ones, so I don't find it's an issue.

Yeah I find bookmarks pretty useless as well.
I primarily use url auto completion.
E.g. to pull up Slashdot I don't touch my mouse. I press Ctrl-T for a new tab, type 'sl' then hit enter and Slashdot appears.
Bookmarks can't beat 4 keystrokes I can do faster than even if Slashdot was on a bookmarks bar.
Yea, but you can't remember all the cool sites. Using only the URL autocompletion bubbles you a bit.
Personally, I have autocomplete disabled except for bookmarked sites. Then I just spam bookmark whenever I need to remember a page and I never really bother organizing them because the only way I ever access them is through autocomplete.
I click twice, you press three keys.
On a freshly installed machine, I still click twice, you will have to type the full name.
Move hand to the mouse, position cursor, click, reposition cursor, click. Not necessarily faster than I can do 4 keystrokes.
Depends if you usually have your hand on the mouse or the keyboard. For me its the keyboard, for you it could be the mouse.
Oh and any good syncing service would do your history as well as bookmarks.
Of course you don't "reposition" your mouse when typing the URL, you can just type it anywhere... Please... relevant arguments only.
Oh a freshly-installed machine, there's already going to be a Slashdot bookmark?
Yes. Because Chrome, once you install it and log in, will synchronize all your bookmarks, extensions and configuration. I re-installed my OS on my home PC and Google Chrome added XMarks automatically, I logged in there and all my bookmarks appeared.
Assuming you set up some sort of web sync from a previous install?
This sounds like some sort of "magic" that requires you not doing a true clean install, or migration from a different browser, or pre-configuration of some cloud service or something.
No, it's simple, actually. http://www.techpluto.com/how-to-backup-google-chrome-passwords-and-bookmarks/ [techpluto.com]
"Google Chrome's In-built Sync Feature: This bookmark and password synchronization feature has been integrated in the Google Chrome browser for quite a time now. In this method, you just need to have a valid Google account and a computer having Google Chrome."
It's far from "two clicks on a fresh install," though. You have to login on the fresh machine, which your link says takes 4 clicks, plus entering your user credentials (presumably another 15-30 keypresses). And you had to set all this up on the old machine, too.
He probably won't even have to type the whole url if he does it in the search bar and the auto-complete takes off. I just cleared all my cache etc. and "slashdot" is the 4th result for "sla."
And after 100 accesses, my method wins in effectiveness overall. Also my method works for ALL other sites I access, his is slightly more effective in the short term and only for ONE URL.
Are we done with retarded reasons?
Hey, you're the one that said "2 clicks clean," which is patently false. Bookmark syncing wasn't really in the original question, and seems somewhat beside the point.
For various definitions of 'freshly-installed', yes.
I use Firefox, and one of my 'must have' extensions is "febe" (Firefox Extension Back-up Extension), and it allows me to have my browser consistent on all computers, and OS's that have Firefox available. YMMV

Previously, I didn't touch bookmarks... I just never used them or saw any reason to. That changed around Firefox 3, when Mozilla introduced that god damn "Awesome" (NOT) bar. At that point, because the location bar was now worthless, I was pretty much forced to create and maintain my own set of bookmarks. Now, my bookmarks are organized into somewhat-logical groups, and I often add new bookmarks directly to where I want them to go. For some less important ones I'll just add to the main directory and organize later. I have no bookmark organizing schedule... I just organize them whenever the hell I feel like it.
When I want to go to one of my favorite sites, I just open Chrome, and start typing what I want. Usually, within 2-3 characters, it fills in the URL that I'm looking for. Who needs bookmarks?
Firefox makes it similarly easy to get around.
do safaris 'top sites' count as bookmarks? I have a few of them pinned permanently, but I like the idea that it adjusts to what I visit most. it's living bookmarks that I don't have to setup! Cheers
where are all the safari users? come on, let's defend our browser and it's (stolen-from-opera) top sites feature!
who want to waste a quarter of the screen space, with that stupid reading list box.
Who the needs bookmarks, when there is google. 99% of the time the page I am looking for would be in the top 3 hits and show while I am still typing the search keywords.
I have about 100 bookmarks on two toolbar rows... Favicons only. It's a great example of both reflexively knowing where each site's mark bookmark is.
I still use search and URLs frequently, though.
And by mixture, I meant to note that I keep those favicons organized, but my other hundreds of bookmarks which live in the menu are largely unsorted.
I bookmark things that I need at the time, and then never reference them. Isn't that what everyone else does? Or do they actually go back to them
Mind you, I can't think of a better alternative but there's something inefficient about them. Especially with Mozilla's high-maintenance UI. Personally, I think I'd be happy with bookmarks separated into an easy-to-populate short list of favorites (like Mozilla's favorites home page) and a disposable link bucket where I can save a link I had trouble finding, but remove it as soon as I access it again.
I stopped bothering with bookmarks back in the Netscape days. It got to be pointless. You'd spend hours organizing your bookmarks and the next day you fire up the browser and they are all just gone....
I used to try to make a backup of my bookmarks, but eventually just stopped trying. Why bookmark when you can just start typing the url you are looking for in your browser bar and then just hit enter when it autocompletes.
I wish Firefox had a feature for private browsing bookmarks. I know that would defeat

... in a way. I don't "organize" the bookmarks, because I rarely ever ADD a bookmark. When I do, it's so I remember something specific the next day, and then I delete it after it has served its purpose.
Or when I got something important to do.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Firefox Awesome bar--click the star, add any keywords you can imagine yourself being likely to type, and let it auto-file it in Unsorted Bookmarks. I used to keep all the important stuff in the bookmarks toolbar but unless it's a really weird url, I just start typing the beginning.
I may go months without a change (other than adding) then make changes daily for weeks. I make a change when I decide "something's in the wrong place" or lot's of things belong together or a folder has gotten too many bookmarks. If that involves creating a new folder, the effect may cascade as other folders shrink and get removed or combined until everything feels right again. But I don't do it all at once.
I just start typing what I want.
Typically if it's bookmarked chrome will autocomplete it as I type.
Same thing on my phone, I just start typing the app/contact name into the google search bar.
Also with google drive, I'm either in "recent" or search, it's faster and easier than navigating a directory structure.
I have a layout/tree, but that's basically habit as opposed to any functional reason.
I always sort new bookmarks into their appropriate place when I make them. After that, there's no more need to organize my bookmarks.
While I may have a large number of bookmarks I rarely use the bookmarks menu. So I also rarely organize them.
News sites many times have RSS feeds I stick in my Bookmarks Bar and check from there. Many of my other favorite sites I have bookmarked but then assign keywords of two or three letters to I just type in the address bar instead.

3. Google it.
I have 4 browsers installed (Chrome, IE, FF, Opera), and everyone of them has its own bookmarks variant, and they do change every year, as their version grows, and i have many home computers, and office computers, and mobile devices and....

If it's not something I check at least on a weekly basis, I don't bother marking it. I'll either remember the URL or enough of it for autocomplete to find it. For all the random crap that I find cool and want to remember (but will probably never look at again), I thumb it with Stumble.

Mariner delivers payback in win over Lake Stevens
Marauders earn redemption after last season's disappointing finish
Nick Adams / The Herald
Mariners' Elmer Delgado (8) celebrates with teamates after scoring against Lake Stevens in the first half of the District 1 4A semifinal match at Mariner High School on Tuesday.
Nick Adams / The Herald
Mariner Marauders' senior Miguel Medina battles Lake Stevens Vikings' Zack Bush in the first half of the District 1 4A semifinal game at Mariner High School on Tuesday.
The Mariner boys soccer team had just won 2-0, but first had to congratulate Lake Stevens on a valiant effort in the 4A District 1 semifinal Tuesday night.
After the handshakes, the Marauder faithful were released to celebrate with their team at midfield. Mariner advances to the state tournament and will play Snohomish on Thursday night in the district championship 7:30 p.m. at Edmonds Stadium.
"It became a tradition sophomore year," senior Cristhian Robles said of the students rushing the field. "Everyone rushed after we beat Lake Stevens in districts. It's nice because during this time of year it gets sunny and everyone is happy and we come together as a community."
This celebration was a little more than a year in the making.
A year ago, these teams met in the first round of the district tournament at Lake Stevens with Mariner prevailing in the 10th round of penalty kicks. The win was overturned two days later, when it was determined that Mariner used an ineligible player. The Vikings advanced to the state tournament after thinking their season was over with the loss. And Mariner coach Vince DeSimone had to do something no coach ever wants to do.
"Last year, we had the same celebration ? We came out with a win, but unfortunately we had an ineligible player," DeSimone said. "I had to tell the guys that as coaches we made a bad choice. We didn't know the rules. We saw the guys all devastated. I had to break the news and it was tough."
There was no devastation Tuesday as the Vikings remain alive, but they'll need two consecutive wins to advance to the 4A state tournament. Their first game will be against Mount Vernon on Thursday night at Edmonds Stadium as the opening act before the final.
The Marauders got a quick strike in the first half to score all the goals that they would need. Silvan Katynskiy played admirably in goal for Mariner, earning a clean sheet.
From start to finish it was a physical game, but the referee chose stern warnings for both sides rather than pulling out cards.
In the 9th minute, the Vikings committed a seemingly harmless foul near the sideline around 45 yards from the goal. Robles stepped up and effortlessly chipped a free kick over the Viking defense where a streaking Elmer Delgado was there to put the ball away with a header.
"I've been doing that all year," said Robles, who plays goalie on an Olympic Development team. "Vince wants me to put it in the box. I'm a goalie, so I know where keepers aren't going to want to come out. So, I just try to put it inside of six (yards out). Keepers don't usually come out especially with the sun."
The Vikings spent the first half of the game, staring into the sun. Goalie Brennen Countryman and his defensive back line played 40 minutes with one hand shielding the setting sun's rays. It was all part of home field advantage for the Marauders, who earned it by winning the Wesco 4A South title.
"I wanted them against the sun,' DeSimone said.
In the 20th minute Lake Stevens nearly had a header goal of their own. James Tanner threw a rocket of a throw-in into the box, but Ahin Ali's shot was just wide of the post.
It was one of the few real dangerous chances for Lake Stevens, which played hard but couldn't take the ball away from the smooth Marauders.
"They just came out with no nerves," DeSimone said of his players. "They just played their game."
They nearly came out of halftime and scored in the first 12 seconds, but one of many big Countryman saves kept the Marauders at bay.
Mariner kept missing its close shots, so Edgar Navarro tried another tack in the 43rd minute.
The Marauder defender corralled a loose ball around the 40-yard line and unleashed a stunning shot that made a straight line for the net and a 2-0 Mariner edge. Lake Stevens could only watch that one helplessly fly through the air.
"He's done that a couple times," Robles said of Navarro. "It's crazy. He's a good player."
It was a big win, but DeSimone insists it just means his team gets to keep playing.
"We don't look toward anything except today," he said. "Some of these kids on the team don't even know what their record is because we don't care about that."
But at the same time the Marauders aren't happy just returning to state.
"We just have to stay humble," Robles said. "But we want more, not just one win at districts."

New album: El Rancho Azul
Artist: Dale Watson and His Lonestars
Label: Red House Records
Rating: 4 stars out of 5
For anyone who has given up on country music, Dale Watson is the relief you've been waiting for.
On a recent episode of Austin City Limits, Watson listed Johnny Cash, Elvis, Ray Price and Merle Haggard as his influences, and to anyone with at least one good ear you can tell he means it. The rockabilly/Bakersfield styles of yore are alive and well on "El Rancho Azul", yet there is enough of Watson's DNA in the mix to keep things fresh.
There are no hidden meanings to songs such as "I Lie When I Drink" and "Give Me More Kisses," but what sounds like straight-up honky tonk fare are actually well crafted, witty ditties. Watson's backing band is arguably one of the best to come along since the late 1980s Ricky Skaggs' band, and Watson himself has more charisma than a pickup truck full of Blake Sheltons and Luke Bryans.
For all of the genuine old school country flavorings in Watson's music, the "El Rancho Azul" track "Daughter's Wedding Day" could even be a hit on what passes for mainstream country radio. "Daughter's Wedding Day" tugs on the ol' heartstrings like a Doberman on a mailman, but Watson's earnest delivery elevates the song above average daddy/daughter fodder.
The driving "I Can't Be Satisfied" has the stink of Waylon Jennings on it, right down to the thick Telecaster guitar lines. In "Smokey Old Bar," Watson declares he's "just a dude on a stool," but don't fooled: Behind the Elvis haircut and the sparkly suits, Watson is a gifted songwriter and performer without once ounce of pretense. Watson deserves wider acclaim, but if he doesn't get it there is zero chance of him changing his ways - thank goodness.
Classic album: Innervisions
Artist: Stevie Wonder
Label: Tamla/Motown
Rating: 5 stars out of 5
By the time "Innervisions" was released in 1973, Stevie Wonder had graduated from child prodigy to full-fledged musical genius.
The soaring, uplifting melodies that established Wonder as a star in the 1960s were still present on "Innervisions," but along with the catchy choruses came lyrics that went beyond the standard boy-meets-girl scenarios.
On "Living For The City," the same guy who once sang "Uptight/Everything is alright" painted a bleak picture of life in the city. That Wonder was able to turn economic and political issues into a pop hit was an inspired experiment. Musically, Wonder's foray into the ever-widening arsenal of synthesizer technology gave him a unique sound that still sounds fresh 41 years later.
The other big hit from "Innervisions" - "Higher Ground" - was about as funky as radio could legally allow in 1973. Whether he was singing about spiritual rejuvenation or personal betterment isn't obvious, but then again everybody loves a good mystery. Although the Red Hot Chili Peppers recorded a pretty good cover of "Higher Ground" in the 1980s, no one has yet to upstage the truly inspired original.
"Innervisions" was released at a time when entire albums were meant to be taken as a whole, and deeper album cuts "Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing," "Too High," and "All In Love Is Fair" are of the same caliber as the radio singles. "Don't You Worry..." has a breezy island quality about it, while "All In Love Is Fair" no doubt inspired Lionel Ritchie's ballad writing. "Visions" isn't exactly radio friendly, but it's darker tones and ominous guitar work aren't incredibly out of step with 1970s Pink Floyd.
Stevie Wonder was hitting the sweet spot in the early 1970s, and if "Innervisions" isn't his masterpiece it's a close runner-up.

3 like everything else.
IMHO, the EDT got the better sillage, above average. So, it depends on what kind of fragrance user you are; the timid or the offensive, loud type.
Pretty much as with your other frags. TDH rocks!
Three for everyday wear, four for more casual situations where you aren't worried about offending someone in a professional setting.
When you stay at home, visit some friends, ordinary stuff: 3 sprays to the chest.
Work or school: 1 spray to the chest.
Going out: 3 sprays to the chest and 1 on each wrist, so a total of 5 sprays.
Apply one more spray to the chest if you want to have extra fun when going out.
That is how I do it.
Apply it to clothes, not skin: it stays a lot longer on fabrics.
I'm worried that my bottle is "dying". No matter how many sprays (3 or 6) I can barely smell it after an hour. No one can smell it on me either. It won't even stay on clothing. This sucks because I will never forget using 1 spray from a tester how potent it was. Ruled out is "olfactory fatigue" btw since I don't have this issue with other frags in my collection.
I purchased it on Amazon for $40 several months ago and thought what a great deal I was getting. Now I'm starting to think I actually bought a 4 year old bottle that is now going flat, fast. Anybody else have this happen?
I use 2 to 3.
ts1000 you could be slightly anosmic to it even if you don't get olfactory fatigue... My TdH (also EDT) isn't new but it stays on all day. The suggestion to spray on clothes (and hair) is a good one, and I do this with MOST scents (bar the longest-lasting and strongest ones) as it does indeed scent clothing or hair for a longer time than skin.
(YMMV with respect to the number of spritzes... I use an average of 9 on skin alone! (Wrists, back of hands, insides of elbows, behind ears, and 1 in the hollow between collarbones) plus a spritz on each sleeve and each side of the collar, and one "walkthrough" spritz to the hair, for scents that tend to fade during the day.)

I've gotten comments when using just one spray, so I don't think more is necessary. I can smell it on myself for at least 8 hours with one spray. The longevity of TdH is excellent.
Usually 2 sprays.
EdT: 15 full-throttle presses all over the chest, abdomen and shoulders + 2 half-way presses behind each ear + 5 half-ways on each arm.
Parfum: Full 8 on chest, abdomen and shoulders + 1 behind each ear + 3 on each arm

2 sprays on the chest and 2 on the neck is more than enough for me.
I can still detect it on me 12 hours later.
I wore this last evening/night & applied 1 spray to my neck & 1 on each wrist & was fine for the night. I love this scent.
Wow...15 sprays? 6-8? Where are you all wearing this? Hopefully not to work...because whether or not you know it, you ARE "the cologne guy" in your office. Regardless of your skin type...people will pick up on it and many times, it can offend. But to each his/her own I guess, and maybe you all don't mind that. TdH is strong IMO, and I love it, but I can't fathom using much more than 2 sprays. 3 if I'm going out somewhere at night and INTEND to emit the scent off to everyone in a 5 foot proximity.
Call my approach "timid," but I don't like being the room's air freshener...
I smell better than you.
TDH is the only fragrance I got a "holy crap I'm choking" from. 7 sprays last winter and a lady from ACROSS the office told me that she was having breathing problems because of my perfume. The crazy thing is I couldn't smell it at all. Period. None. Not a whiff.
Just keep my anecdote in mind.
For me, 2 sprays is more than adequate. I'm finding this to be true with a large number of JCE's compositions.
Just one spray and I can smell it on my shirt the next day. I can't even imagine what kind of a stink bomb you'd be after 15 sprays.
15 sprays of anything is just stupid overkill. Sorry, but it's antics like that that lead to things like widespread perfume bans.
It's not really much different in principle than those kids who blast the subwoofers in their cars late at night.

Although my average number of sprays of anything is probably around 6-7, there are some fragrances I only spray once or two or three times and there are others where I go for over a dozen. It just depends on the fragrance. While I'm certainly not after clearing a room, I do want people to be able to smell it on me.
I don't find TdH particularly strong, and would consider 1-3 sprays not even worth it!
I'm going to guess that the extreme variability in the perceived strength of TdH is due to one's sensitivity level to iso e super. For those of us who are sensitive to it, TdH is a real powerhouse.
While I appreciate that the attitude towards scent is different over there, I can't imagine 15 sprays of anything not becoming extremely annoying to, if not those around him, the wearer himself. More is not always better. Listening to music at 130db is not pleasant either.

I think my skin is pretty normal, but frags don't last that much on me (with a few good exceptions) and doesn't matter how many sprays i use. The only problem is overspraying the wrong kind of fragances in the wrong weather. I can't imagine myself using 8 sprays of A*Men in hot summer, not even Hypnose or Pure Malt, heat intensifies the smell making it uncomfortable for me, but many fragances don't get affected by the number of sprays, and, in cold weather the problem is less serious.
Last weekend i used more than 6-7 sprays of Ambre Sultan, it was still warm and i was at a party outdoors... no one seemed to notice the smell of Ambre Sultan (even if it is a rare scents where I live, amber centered scents are no popular over here). Nevertheless, a guy with Only the brave was giving me headache
Postumo, I definitely respect your opinion, and go for what makes you feel great...but just because somebody doesn't outright SAY they smell your cologne, doesn't mean they don't. How many times have you passed somebody wearing way too much perfume/cologne and stopped them to say "hey, maybe you should turn down the volume a bit..." Probably not often. Did you say anything to the guy wearing Only the Brave when you were getting the headache from it? Doubt it...most people keep that to themselves unless they are FORCED to be around somebody for an extended period of time and its absolutely imperative that they be informed. Kinda like Pappy's experience in his office...the lady probably only commented because she would have to be in the same office with him over and over, so she felt better about letting him know, but even then she was probably hesitant to do that. People don't just up and mention that to others, because most people don't want to call people out unless its necessary. So...I'm sure they smelled your Ambre Sultan...because after all its still...Ambre Sultan. In heat. 6-7 sprays. You were smelled sir...comments made or not...
I smell better than you.
For the EDP - I would say ONE SPRAY is enough. The stuff is so insanely strong, it's ridiculous. I fell in love with the EDP at first, but after several months of trying it wear it in various situations, I found it simply too overpowering and it never felt 'right' no matter where I wore it. So back to Nordstrom's it went.
The EDT 2-3 sprays you're fine.
The fact that we cannot agree about the ideal number of sprays doesnt mean that someones wrong. It just a matter of our personal preferences.

Terre d'Hermès EDT, two sprays are enough for quite good projection. Longevity is seldom issue to me no matter the scent.
That's why i say most people don't notice. The guy with Only the brave gave me headache because he was in my car, closed space sadly (i'd like a convertible).
Around here i don't meet many people with a strong smell or odor. A girl works in front of my office and she leaves a heavy trail of Insolence by Guerlain that i feel heavy because it lasts even when she is long gone and, for me, it's sickening sweet... but i don't go out or disco or clubbin smelling heavy scents from other than the occasional "Le Male" guy. Here most people use aquatics...
My opinion is that 1-2 sprays is just exaggerated, as they are more than 12. I use around 8 (some times they are not FULL sprays, just weak pressings ). And few colognes last on me more than 4-5 hours. That's why i can't believe those 1 sprays and 24 hours longevity I read over here.
And, with Only the Brave the problem is the first hour, after that is mostly gone. No problem with the sillage or projection, my problem with it is the bad smell. I don't like it at all.
Killer, not trying to attack ya, but 15 ANYWHERE in this world is too much. I don't own Tdh, but I usually do about 5 sprays. 1 to the chest, 1 to each wrist and share with my inner elbows, and one on each side of my neck.
Thats not fair to other people and you don't know how you are affecting them especially if they have no choice but to be around you.
I wore about one and a half sprays of Terre D'Hermes Parfum on my chest, under my shirt and undershirt-- so basically under two layers of clothing the other night at work and got at least three compliments. One girl came and pressed her face into my chest while sighing. She also told me later how she loved the way I smelled. A male coworker gave me a compliment-- and he said he couldn't smell much because he had a cold. Later, probably six hours after I came to work, another coworker asked me what cologne I had on because he was looking for something new to wear and he liked this one a lot-- I wrote it down for him and gave him a sample vial.
Honestly, Terre D'Hermes is one of my best work scents. I get a lot of compliments on it. I alternate between the EDT and Parfum-- I like things about both. My EDT is almost gone (the first bottle I'm going to finish in a collection of about 250) so I'm going to have to snag another bottle. It's one of the most radiant scents I've ever worn, so you don't need much to get noticed.
I wore just two sprays of the EDT on my chest today, and honestly it's not enough for me to enjoy it. I had an early morning meeting at 9 AM with a small room full of people, so I played it safe, but maybe too safe. I think three sprays going forward will be my minimum. I want to smell it, too! I get more out of Aventus than I have out of TDH today.
EDT I do one to front of the neck, one back of the neck, one on the shirt front and one on each forearm.
5 sprays
1. Dior Homme Intense
2. Creed Aventus
3. Tom Ford Extreme
4. Gucci Pour Homme II
5. Terre d'Hermes
How about 0 sprays?
EDT: 5 sprays. 3 on the chest, and 2 on the neck. I always put on some TDH after shave balm first as a base.
EDP: the sillage on this is so low, that I can almost bath in it! (longevity is very good though)
I can barely take one spray of TDH. Way too much ISO E super. I cannot tolerate that note.
2-3 of the EDT and 1-2 of the parfum work well for me. I find the parfum projects & lasts much better on my skin, so I really don't need that much of it.
2 to 4 spray
My Top 10
1. Amouage Homage Attar
2. Serge Lutens - Muscs Koublai Khan
4. Serge Lutens - Ambre Sultan
5. Chanel Egoiste
6. 24 Gold by Scentstory
7. Amouage Epic Man
8. Amouage Jubilation XXV
9. Bond No. 9 New York Oud
10. Serge Lutens - Chergui
"A beautiful fragrance to the nose is like good jazz music to the ears, great food to the mouth, and Megan Fox and Jessica Alba to the eyes..."
2 - 3 for work environment
4 for casual outing
Sometime, I also mixing the EDT with the Pure Parfum, they are really compliment each other.
***My favourite from my collection***
-------- Amouage Tribute Attar
------ Serge Lutens: Ambre Sultan
-------- Les Exclusifs de Chanel: Sycamore
------ Amouage: Fate Man
-------- Amouage: Epic Man
------ Tom Ford Private Blend: Noir de Noir
-------- Terre D'Hermès Pure Parfum
------ EDP FM: Carnal Flower
-------- Neela Vermire Creations: Trayee
------ Dior: Leather Oud
------- Hermèssence: Ambre Narguilé
Spraying too much TDH is contradicting the perfume's style: transparent and radiant (nouvelle parfumerie).
I would go 2-3.

A grammar of Yeri
Yeri is a Torricelli language spoken in Sandaun Province, Papua New Guinea. The language is spoken in a single village called Yapunda, and is severely endangered, with approximately 100 speakers. The youngest generation speaks only Tok Pisin, and speakers under 40 often speak a simplified variety of the language.
This project aims to document an unsimplified variety of the language while this is still possible, and includes the production of a grammar, a corpus of glossed texts in a variety of genres, and a dictionary of the language. Some of the unusual characteristics to be documented include infixes which occur following the first syllable of the verb stem, a typologically rare infixation site, and affixes which occur on almost all parts of speech, including nouns, verbs, adjectives, ideophones, and possessive pronouns. The language is SVO, displays extensive argument marking, shows realis/irrealis distinctions on the verb, and makes frequent use of multi-verb clauses.

An IP "internet protocol" address is a series of numbers, separated by periods, that uniquely identifies a computer connected to a network. When a web server log tracks IP addresses, it is essentially determining which computers are used to visit our website.
IP addresses may reveal the physical location of the computer used to access our site, or the country or geographic region where that computer is or purports to be located.
We use standard technology called "cookies" to keep track of how customers use the website. Cookies are a feature of web browser software that allow web servers to recognize the computer with which a user accesses a site. Cookies are copies of information stored on the user's hard drive (not on the site's web server).

We use Session IDs to allow us to identify a particular user across multiple web page requests.
The Session ID is maintained within your cookie file, where possible.
If cookies are not enabled, or if the user's internet browser program does not support cookies, then we will place the Session ID in the requested web page.
