It's not everyday I bump into a guy wearing fragrance, but often enough depending on the environment where the encounter is.
I was just wondering today: How often do you encounter men, and women, who are wearing a scent? I'm not talking about Old Spice deodorant or Axe shower gel. Actual. bottled. fragrance.
For me, it seems relatively uncommon even when I walk around NYC. I very rarely smell anything that is popular here on BN (A*Men, some of the YSL frags, etc.).
Honestly, I'd say 1 in every 10 or 12 people I come across is wearing a fragrance. I think that staying around a community like this makes it seem more commonplace than it actually is.
What do you think?
It's not everyday I bump into a guy wearing fragrance, but often enough depending on the environment where the encounter is.
lol'd ^
I don't know but I notice far more women wear fragrance than men.
Last night I was watching the 4th of July fireworks display downtown and caught the scent of an absolutely AMAZING fragrance.. I have no idea how to describe it but it totally captured my attention. It was really quite amazing smelling, kind of feminine smokey vanilla carnation, definitely seemed like a niche fragrance. Problem is I was in a sea of moving people/crowds and knew it was a lost cause to find the source.
In the office I work at (about 40 people or so) I think there may be in one other guy that wears frags. My friend who sits in the cube next to me smells pretty good some days.... and every time I ask him what he is wearing, his answer is AXE .
Honestly, I'd say 2/3 of men don't wear bottled fragrances.
Of the 1/3 that do, most of them aren't into it like we are. Most of the people that do just have 1-2 colognes that they rarely use except maybe on a date or a club. They just go in a store one day, test out something and buy it based on the top notes. It's not serious to them like it is for us.
To us, brands like Angel Men, Hermes and Yves Saint Laurent are very important to all of us. 99% of people don't care.
Probably only 1% of people collect fragrances as a hobby, if that.
I know, when it comes to colognes like Acqua Di Gio, Cool Water, Le Male and 1 Million, all are best-sellers, but even then people exagerrate when they say: "Don't wear Acqua Di Gio because EVERYONE's wearing it". Sure, in your entire lifetime, you may encounter a handful of people wearing a popular fragrance, but wearing cologne in itself distinguishes you from most people, even if it is the most common one.

I hardly smell any fragrance on anyone ,anywhere here, to be honest. When I do, I remember because it is pretty rare. Mostly, I smell cheap vanilla at the gym and that's it.
I sometimes wonder if I am the only one walking around here fumed.
For sale. Carnal Flower and Vero Profumo Onda.
I agree that way more women than men wear perfume, but I work in a field where we probably have a lower-than-average rate of perfume wearing in general.
Of course, there are always people who wear so little that you can't smell them in passing. I'm told I'm one of those people. Even if I apply what I think is a lot, people say they can't smell me.
In my office
2 out of guys wear fragrances, I smell mostly aquatic.
The females favor rosy fragrance from Lancome
On the street
Again aquatic with guys and sometimes I smell Le Male
On the women I usually smell Lolita Lempicka The First Perfume and occasionally Angel
My friends are also terrified of the idea of wearing female marketed perfumes that are actually masculine, like Midnight Poison or No. 19 (Chanel).
Fake, or "designer wannabe's" fragrances are popular here, on the other hand.
To get an idea of the mentality, I've been asked more then once: "Why do you pay full price for the bottles instead of buying from those fakers who sell exactly the same perfume with the same longevity ?" -> never !
A very common observation, but the only people I've ever known to wear noticeable fragrance are my mother, grandmother, and aunts (currently ages 50-77).
I never smell fragrance on anyone younger in America except for whiffs of aquatics and fruity florals when at a college or high school hangout. The most consistently perfumed places are high end charity shops (donated goods will still reek of signature scents) and other ladies who lunch places where Hermes and Chanel can usually be detected, in particular 24 Faubourg, which I hate. The very most fragrance-laden crowds have been in Latin and Eastern European countries at nightclubs.
Only one SO ever--this includes males and females--has ever worn any fragrance. My ex was really into Floris, Penhaligon's, and other classics at age twenty. I thought it was really strange and old-fashioned but have now been infected with the perfume lust too late.
Usually I can smell a few people wearing fragrances at the train station on my way to work or uni. Definitely more common on women than men, I'd say 80% of the female customers at work are wearing a fragrance.
In my circle of friends however, I'm probably the only one who wears a fragrance on a regular basis. In fact I know an individual who doesn't wear any perfume unless they got spritzed by a trigger happy sales assistant.
Maybe once a week. And its usually some obnoxious B&BW spray or lotion.
Want to trade - Chanel Platinum Egoiste for Dior Eau Sauvage...
I am the only one that wears fragrance in my department of about 30 people... I wonder whether fragrance is more popular in other parts of the world than in the US.
What drives me crazy: I'll be in public and come across some random guy (usually a guy) who's wearing something that catches my nose instantly because it smells absolutely fantastic, and I have no idea what it is...and I'm not about to ask. So I go through the rest of my day wishing I knew what the hell it was...but I will never know. Alas!
Discover my Guest Reviewer Of The Day here
i've made the mistake once of telling to a 'straight' bloke at work about my passion for perfumes after being asked what i was wearing one morning (it happened to be m7) when we were making our espressos in the kitchen. since then, every time i wear something, being m7, any pg, mpg, montale, any oud, wood, incense but also (surprisingly) classic italian style colognes etc, etc, you name it, his reaction is: 'you smell whorish / you smell like ass!' (he means it literally). i kind of stopped talking to him and when he comments i half heartedly and politely give him a small laugh.

I know for a fact that in some circles here in the UK, say among south European and Middle Eastern communities, I detect some really fine fragrances - Hermes is one that springs to mind. It's not all the time that you get to pick the scents up, but it does happen. I even detected Royal Oud on two occasions whilst out and about in London - again, both from non-locals. It's strange and I know it may seem that I am stereotyping, but I have seen it!
I'm sure a lot of people wear something (it's a huge, successfull beauty industry and fragrances are used as symbol for nearly everything that have to do with capitalistic "individualism"), but not everybody does it in a way that you could detect it from afar. And frankly I don't like getting that close people so that I could smell them.
I very rarely smell fragrances on any men and about 10% of women (perhaps), and I deal with the public. The most common smell on men here is stale sweat, body odor and mildew and cigarettes. I think that is one reason I wear fragrances!

Guys where I'm from tend to wear fragrances more in the evening when they are going out. Women tend pour half the bottle on themselves and never seem to be without a fragrance. In the morning on the way to work either on a train or bus you have to walk through a gauntlet of people wearing scent,most of them worn by women.
Anyhow, I think lots of guys still have that teenage habit of only getting perfumed when they're going out at night.
I like it when I smell perfume on a guy, don't really know why, but it makes me sympathize.
On a side note: the other day I was at Sephora and a guy started spraying ONLY to his neck about EIGHT sprays of Fleur Du Male (out of all fragrances). Do you guys think he intended to kill somebody by suffocation? Geeeez!
Kurt smells like Teen Spirit

I smell fragrances on people all the time too, both on men and women, though more commonly on women. However for a country where traditional attitudes about masculinity are still fairly prevalent I'm constantly surprised by how many men I meet or walk passed on the street or stand behind in queues in shops etc who are wearing fragrances.
I'm not saying most of them are wearing something I would think of as particularly nice smelling, but it's still surprising they wear any at all, to me anyway. Walking down the main shopping streets in the city centre on a Saturday or Sunday, especially on a sunny day, is like walking through a department store perfume hall sometimes it can be fun to pick out the ones you recognise. Bars and Nightclubs at the weekends can be pretty overpowering in their intense mix of dozens of fragrances, sweat, and booze, it sometimes makes you yearn for the deadening odour of cigarettes which used to keep this funk at bay.
To the people who quoted my post, my remarks were based on my experience in the U.S., though it may be different in other developed countries.
And yes, I would agree that it's more common for a woman to wear perfume, as beauty products are seen as more feminine, and there is a stigma that men who take too much care of their appearance are gay or metro.
My girlfriend is Eastern European, not sure if she's typical, but she certainly does apply her scents quite lightly. Maybe they don't spray so much over there.
I'm really surprised by this, whenever I visit Italy I find more people seem to wear fragrances than they do back home. But I suppose it could be because I'm visiting holiday destinations and the big cities, Rome, Turin, Naples and Milan most often (with detours to smaller cities like Parma, Modena and Bologna sometimes), and maybe people are more likely to wear fragrance in those parts of Italy... I dunno :P

I rarely smell fragrance on anyone except the occasional old lady or party-goer. Having consistently no smell at all is an achievement of the late 20th century that seems by far the most popular expression of modern grooming.

Where I work exactly 50% of the males wear fragrance every day and 100% of the women. Confirmed and rock solid information from the CEO of the company.
And I come across some great wafts of sillage around Central at lunchtime - caught some Vanille Galante strolling by one day, Oriental Brulant another.
In the UK - I only occasionally ' smell fragrance on anybody during the day, but come nighttime, especially weekends - Everybody seems to be wearing it - men and women.
(sigh) Rarely, too rarely. I attended a 4th of July street fair Wed and smelled NOTHING except kettle corn during the whole time there with hundreds, if not thousands, in attendance.
There is one young man at work who tastefully wears scent and I encourage him by passing on samples.
Even clients who used to routinely douse themselves in fruity floral body sprays seem to have ended that phase of their lives.
How I long to say the magic words "You smell good- what are you wearing" to someone.
Sync'in and Think'in in 2015!
Quite often! Around 1 in 3 people I meet are wearing a perfume.
In France, body odor IS a frag for some guys.
Sorry, just kidding.
I'm a high school teacher (in the US) and a very high percentage of students, both males and females, wear fragrance. For the males, most of the time it's some nasty smelling AXE, or something popular and recognizable like AdG or Chrome, and occasionally something that actually smells good (sorry AdG and Chrome fans).
But just because you don't notice it, doesn't mean people aren't using it. I tend to be pretty trigger happy with my fragrances, but when I recently mentioned to my father that I was selling off some of my collection, he commented, "You wear cologne?"
Just because it happened to you doesn't make it interesting.
In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

I never do, unfortunately. But when I do, despite my personal snobbishness, I think it is great ! It is usually Cool Water or Armani Code. Hey, at least the guy is trying! One that I do not like smelling is Acqua di Gio pour Homme. Blech ! And that is just my reaction to the guys who wear them ( tight Ed Hardy and Tap Out shirts ...etc). I also don't care for the fragrance in its melon disaster self.
Women moreso have a smell to them. It is usually a body spray or hair product. Fragrance being worn is rare as well, like men. Once in a blue moon I get a drive-by assault of Angel. That is usually followed by me making a trip to the store for some candy and chocolate.
I should add that I don't really go out to "da club" or bars or just out in general too much. I have a feeling that people, where I live, think fragrances are for a special occasion only or "going out".

I work in healthcare, so I don't come across people wearing perfume often. If they are, it is a visitor or a nurse may wear it occasionally (usually one of the CLEAN line). I used to come across perfume more often when I worked in retail.
edit: I forgot to mention that I notice fragrance on men a lot more than women. Fragrance seems to project more or men may apply more of it than women do.

That said....I do think that wearing fragrances probably reached it's peak in popularity in the U.S. in the 80's/early to mid 90's. At least, it doesn't seem quite as mainstream for men to wear fragrances in the U.S. these days as much as it was during that time period. And I'm not sure exactly what may have changed that....but I can't help but wonder if Calvin Klein coming out with CK1 had anything to do with the decline in interest (mid 90's, around the time period I think interest seemed to start to wane a bit). I mean, once companies started marketing to men and women as if they are the same and there is no difference...I wonder if a lot of men were turned off by the idea of wearing a fragrance? (sorry, ladies...we may love ya....but most men still want to smell different than you / i.e. - "more like men") I also think that having so many companies coming out with so many different fragrances....many of which are literally here today and gone later today.....along with the "weaker projection and poor longevity" from many of today's fragrances (as not to "offend" anyone) might have a lot of adults these days saying "why bother?" Oh well, food for thought.....
I could go on and on.....really.
Also, for a good reading on why fragrances changed and transitioned from the 1980s, the book Perfume: The Art and Science of Scent by Cathy Newman gives some pretty good insight ( Aids/ Notion of what smells attractive/changing aromachemicals/smelling clean Vs. erotic....etc). Since the book is by National Geographic, it comes with nice pictures ( unlike many books on Perfume).

You do bring up a good point, though, that people may not be as "vocal" about it as they get older, and that they still care.....I will agree with you about that. But I stand by my comment that younger people are very much into themselves (and that's not being critical, it simply is what it is)....because while it's my opinion, it's also based on life experiences. I was once "under the age of 25" (I'm now 20 years past that), so I have life experiences from my personal life, my generational peer group, the current generation (and I do interact with many of them), etc. to base that on. And to be honest, I'd be willing to bet that nearly any poll taken would reflect that there are an awful lot of people who think and feel as I do about that, if they are honest about it.
That said.....

Anways, with regards to your last paragraph and the topic of older men wearing fragrances : It is really unfortunate that there is this stigma to this supposed "old man cologne". But I suppose it is the same thing as my own personal bias against "d-bag cologne" ( The 1 Millions, Acqua di Gio pour Homme, Fierce....etc). When I went to a store to try out fragrances and mentioned I enjoy far more mature and dated fragrances, I was pointed toward Chanel Bleu .
I think that stigma to old man cologne has really lessened the popularity of the older fragrances ( but I don't know that to be a fact, just opinion).
In any event, I really hope there will be a more acceptance of fragrance wearing on a casual basis in the future ( as in, wearing it everyday just because ). I am not sure what would have to happen to create that. It seems alot of people really dislike fragrances, although they don't consider things and choices that they make to disrupt and annoy other people.

There's one guy with an office down the hall from mine who wears some aquatic. I'm not sure who it is, but you can always tell when he's around because the hall smells very aquatic (rather than slightly musty). Whenever I notice scents on women, they usually seem to be cheap boring body-spray sorts. Every now and again I'll come across someone wearing an actual fragrance, and the rarity makes it all the more memorable.
At night, I notice guys wearing things like Le Male, usually over-sprayed to the point of drowning out everything else.
This is a bugaboo, and not directed at anyone here, but I'm 26, born in 1986, and slightly younger people, ages 20-23, will often accuse me of being Gen X.But the fact is, this happened on the watch of the demographic that is older than 25 years old right now ( Gen X and Baby Boomers).
That's absurd. Gen X ended in the late 70s--1980 at the very latest.
Yes, "young people" frequently think anyone even minorly older is old: that narcissism of small differences.
I mean, we all know that generational cutoffs are pretty arbitrary/liminal and that generations are a slightly larger narcissistic difference in their own right, but grouping anyone who isn't a current college student in with the very distinctive Gen X (and I'd say, I'd much rather be part of their generation but am sadly stuck being one of these internet and video game-raised people) is downright lazy failure to use Wikipedia. And that's *our* generation's one coup!
I too, and plenty of over 25s, grew up with precious little more than bodyspray as popular scent. At least the Gen X kids had earlier CK and 80s powerhouse stragglers. The scents marketed to young people now are mostly about being clean, banally attractive, that sort of gym mentality that would make all the good baby boomers and gen Xers puke back in their day (sure, now they've mostly settled into hyper-sanitary casual, at least in the USA, too).
Sidenote: getting into fragrance has been a great way of transcending generational limitations while being able to access sensory artifacts of other times. We can all be 1950s bombshells, 1960s mod chic, 1970s naturals, 80s egomaniac creeps, 90s nihilists, and whatever-the-feck 2000s with the "dzing!" of a sprayer.

I know when Gen X ended.
When you write :
^ These are fragrances which Gen Xers and Baby Boomers buy consistently. Gen Xers are just as much afraid of "old man cologne" as Gen Y's. Fragrances are not just marketed towards young people. I see fragrance ads in all kinds of magazines for all kinds of age ranges.The scents marketed to young people now are mostly about being clean, banally attractive, that sort of gym mentality that would make all the good baby boomers and gen Xers puke back in their day

Still, most fragrance marketing is a hypersexual take on the teen to twenty-fiver demographic, silverfox gentleman stuff, or graceful lady standbys as fronted by very youthful looking grown women like Gwyneth Paltrow and Julianne Moore. There is so much more out there to be exploited and played with, and yes, ads should be irrelevant and are mostly annoying--but they get the word out at least... old ads can be an absolute delight in comparison for their striking variety... http://www.vintageadbrowser.com/perfume-ads-1960s
Surfacing sorry for the silly mini-rant. I thought your insights were fascinating and great and agree, but it can be really strange how younger generations have not only no regard for history but an active suspiscion of anything or anyone with history. Wow... now I really do sound like an old lady...must be all the old lady 'fumes. Going to read Perfume: The Art and Science of Scent as per your mention.
And to be fair, I do get that there is a problem with youth having little interest in history, being ageist ( or considering anyone above a certain age to be ancient...etc), disrespect.....etc. But I get why many are that way as well. It still is something that bothers me as well.
By the way, thanks for providing that link to the Perfume Ads. I do agree, older ads are great. It is interesting because much is made of those CK ads being edgy and cool from the 1990s.......I find those ads to be lame and boring. I love older ads. But even some new and recent ads are quite great. I love Kenzo fragrance ads ! Also, YSL ads for Rive Gauche pour Homme are great. So much more....
I have seen a different Lauder for Men ad ( 1980s) a while back on the net and thought it was remarkable on how different it was compared to ads of today ( this one is like that as well : http://www.vintageadbrowser.com/perfume-ads-1980s ). You rarely see such a conservatively dressed man in a fragrance ad these days. The ads of today make the man seem like he is either on the prowl or asserting dominace ( could be in a stance position).

I think the 1950s construct of the teenager and its mass, unending fetishization has done a major number on the west, cementing hellish narcissism in us all. Once being wise and experienced rather than brash and careless becomes cool, maybe we'll stop f'ing things up for future generations.
While I hear you Surfacing, this problem of generational blame has been cycling forever and is unlikely to stop. There will soon be kids blaming us, too. Sure, there hasn't been a more financially and socially irresponsible lot as the yuppies spawned of former trend-counterculture folks in some time, but when we all see how knowing history is just as important as being able to forget it at the right times, maybe the cycle will be less intense. Increased availability of self-education sources could be an answer.

Sportsfan, really the yuppies are the former hippies anyway. Hmm, I need to get with the current times though, I say blame... the perfume makers--those allergen-pushing decadent devils!
And Surfacing, as per ads: as a small child I used to idolize and imitate the Kate Moss Obsession commercial, down to memorizing the script. WTF? Scary! Children really are both more mature and more impressionable than they're given credit for... those 80s ads with their extreme dapperness are rather nice. Put a man in a suit in an advertisement now and he'll probably be some actor looking a bit unnatural and stiff.

Motorola's Droid Mini is one of the few petite smartphones that doesn't sacrifice power for size. Though the handset measures just 4.3-inches compared to its 5-inch brethren, the Droid Ultra and Droid Maxx, the Mini still gets the same processor, RAM and slick voice-controlled interface as both larger phones. Who said bigger is better?
Samsung Galaxy Nexus may be the best Android smartphone. I haven't tested it yet, though.
very glad to see the Razr M on this list; i happen to own it, but i noticed that it was one of 3, i think, on the list with a 4.3″ screen or smaller. having average size hands, i do like the option of going bigger if i need it (as evidenced by so many large phones on this list), but for practical every day, pulling-out-of-my-pocket many times a day, i think i'll stick with 4.3″ for now. it seems to be the ideal size.
for the record, the Nexus 4 was built by LG not ASUS. The Nexus 7 is the one that is ASUS made. smh.
the Droid RAZR Maxx HD is a dual core, not a quad core, guys
Thanks for the info…but could you also do one on cell phone etiquette when in public places? One of my pet peeves is the grocery store customer who cannot live without their cell phone in their ear. They get their groceries, trundle to the check out and switch over to audio brain cells only. The poor checker, after pointing to the check out screen and repeating the total not less than six times, is accused of getting snippy while the customers in line get upset and are telling their friends all about it…of course, using their cell phones.
Please explain that not all of us were born with a cell phone in one hand and a game controller in the other. Unless you have a family member in the icu, it should be considered rude to invite a person over for a visit and interrupt it constantly with texting and calls. If you cannot go on a trip without texting while driving, please, stay home. Nothing is more terrifying for a passenger than a driver texting while your life is their hands…they DO go off the road. You will not die if you do not read that text or answer that call…but chances are you will if you do.
Gone are the days of privacy that were there when only corded phones were available. The answering machine was a good improvement. But I am seriously beginning to doubt the absolute necessity of cell phones for all. Kids no longer talk to their parents, they text them. They do not talk to their friends, they text them. Our lives are now conducted in the air…through our cell phones. By doing so, we are loosing ourselves, our kids cannot relate, and ma bell is going belly up…Sometimes it is good to not hear the phone, or read a text. Sometimes it is good to connect without the technology.
This list is a joke
No Xperia Z? Lol.
+1 on the Xperia Z.
Wish it had a user replaceable battery, but other than that looks pretty darn interesting. Hoping for a much more usable screen outdoors than the Galaxy S3/S4.
please can I know the total price for galaxy s4 and delivery procedure to Tanzania for 2 pieces because I need it from you
please supplier can you quote to me the price and delivery procedures to Tanzania for 2pieces
thank you.
Just got the MOTO-X three days ago. Great phone, but I have to return it because the system for inputting new contacts and creating groups is extremely dysfunctional. If like me, you require these features, stay away.
FYI the droid maxx has a 48 hr battery, not 10.
That's a good review about phones..really very informative…

ORANGE – Trailing by nine in the fourth quarter, Villa Park appeared headed for an exit out of the CIF-SS Southwest Division playoffs.
That exit never came.
The Spartans (11-1) rallied with a pair of touchdowns, the last coming from Justin Mottram with a 1-yard dive, to escape with the 26-21 home victory over Newport Harbor in a second-round game at El Modena High.
The Spartans will face second-seeded Tustin in the semifinals Friday. The Sailors, who finished second in the Sunset League, end the season with a 7-5 record.
"This is our fifth or sixth game where we had to win in the fourth quarter," Villa Park coach Dusan Ancich said.
"I'm not saying we're good at it, but we've been in that situation a lot of times, and our team antes up when it counts.
"A lot of character ... we have a special group of guys that's not going to give up."
The Spartans trailed, 21-12, with 9:15 left.
"We needed something to pick everybody up," Villa Park's Meki Tafuna said.
That play came as Dylan Osborne's 49-yard pass to Dustin Harrison gave the Spartans the ball on the Newport Harbor 23.
Four plays later, Tafuna's 11-yard touchdown cut the score to 21-19.
After a three-and-out by Newport Harbor, Villa Park took over on the Newport Harbor 44. After a pair of big runs from Tafuna, Mottram dived in from the 1 for what turned into the winning score.
Newport Harbor had the ball one more time, but gained just 2 yards. Villa Park ran out the final 1:06 for the victory to send the Spartans toward another meeting with Tustin.
Villa Park and Tustin, former Century League rivals, have met in the playoffs the previous two seasons, with the Tillers winning both.
Tustin defeated Huntington Beach, 49-18, in a second-round game.

"Baseball Live on the 'Net Sounds Great to My Ears" - Audio Broadcasts Begin at Pfeiffer
February 18, 2011
Story by Charles Curcio, Sports Editor, Stanly News and Press
MISENHEIMER, N.C. — It hardly seems like baseball season already, unless you are involved with college baseball, which starts in the bitterly cold months of February. I can remember serving as PA announcer for Pfeiffer baseball games on a Groundhog Day, wrapped up in more layers than my beautiful wife's delicious Mexican layer dip (probably played the "Pennsylvania Polka" that day as well). I have missed being able to catch Atlanta Braves games on radio when away from the house.
The new Fox 730 AM will be doing Braves' games, but their signal has been spotty at best (at least that's the case with my Honda radio).
I miss the days of driving home from Atlanta to Hiawassee, Ga., listening to Skip, Don, Pete and Joe.
Skip Carey was one of the funniest curmudgeons that I have ever heard and he never failed to move you, whether he talked about the game or where the fan was from who caught that foul ball. I still wonder who "The Screaming Vendor" actually was.
Baseball has a wonderful rhythm to it that lends itself perfectly to the medium of radio.
Well, I have a tip for those of you with Internet access.
Pfeiffer's sports info director, Sean Fox, has been adding a radio play-by-play call of Falcon baseball games on the Internet.
Fox called games for the Fort Myers Miracle of the Florida State League in 2007 and 2008, and has announced games at Fieldcrest Cannon Stadium as well as Knights Castle and Time-Warner Cable Arena.
I was very pleased yesterday to listen to Fox deliver a professional, entertaining broadcast of Pfeiffer's 6-1 home win over Carson-Newman.
As I listened, I saw the action on the field in my head, a credit to any play-by-play man, while working on today's section and the upcoming Spring Sports tab.
Falcons' games broadcast worldwide is a positive, worthwhile use of the Internet, something that the 'Net could use, which is a positive story.
NOTE – Next Audio Broadcast is Schedule for Tuesday, February 22nd as Pfeiffer hosts Tusculum at 2:00 p.m. Three archived games are available on baseball's game stories via www.gofalconsports.com. Full story is available here http://thesnaponline.com/sports/x1125437115/Baseball-live-on-the-Net-sounds-great-to-my-ears

Shutdown: It ain't over when it's over
Tuesday - 10/15/2013, 4:07pm EDT
Commentary by Jeff Neal
Founder of ChiefHRO.com
& Senior Vice President, ICF International
Photo courtesy of Jeff Neal
This column was originally published on Jeff Neal's blog, ChiefHRO.com, and was republished here with permission from the author.
With a few hopeful signs of movement on the budget/shutdown/debt ceiling/ front, I am hearing people talking about how quickly the shutdown can be turned off and everyone can get back to work. As I have written before, some folks have the mistaken idea that the shutdown is like a toggle switch — just flip it off and everything will come back on. It is true that most employees can be brought back quickly. Agencies will contact employees via phone, email, radio, television and their websites to get their employees back on the job. If it ended today, almost all federal employees could be back at work tomorrow. That should be the end of the shutdown story, right?
I wish that were true, but it is not. The repercussions of the shutdown will be felt for a long time to come. Here are just a few examples of how:
- Year-end spending. Members of Congress and administration officials
always lament the annual "year-end spending spree" that occurs in many agencies.
The year-end spending is driven by the fear of losing money if it is not obligated
by the end of the fiscal year. The problem is far worse now than it was in the
past because Congress is not passing appropriations bills on time. All 12 of the
appropriations bills are supposed to be passed by Oct. 1. That hasn't happened in
years. For fiscal 2014, we are likely to end up with a continuing resolution that
funds the government at sequestration levels until January. Congress is supposed
to pass full-year appropriations by then. Once the budget — most likely an
omnibus appropriations bill or another continuing resolution — has passed,
agencies will have to sort through their appropriations and then distribute the
money to their component parts. That could easily take another month or two.
Agencies may not have a clear understanding of where they stand until March 2014.
The uncertainty will make another year-end spending exercise almost unavoidable.
- Combined Federal Campaign (CFC). Since its creation by President
Kennedy in 1961, CFC has raised more than $7 billion for charities. CFC supports
local, national and global causes and is one of the most successful fundraising
campaigns ever. CFC contributions peaked $282.6 million in 2009 and have dropped
each year since. Last year, CFC raised more than $258 million. The 2013 campaign,
beginning on Sept. 1, had hoped to raise that much or more. The decreasing CFC
contributions, driven in part by the pay freeze and fed-bashing, are being felt by
the charities that rely on CFC contributions. The 2013 campaign in DoD was
suspended due to the shutdown. Other agencies have done the same. Although the
campaigns will resume when the shutdown ends, no one expects to see a massive
outpouring of contributions from people who just got sent home without pay for a
few weeks. Many smaller local organizations rely heavily on CFC and their programs
and the people they serve are likely to suffer as a result.
- Training. Many large-scale training programs in the government are run
by centers/academies that have fully booked calendars. The time they have lost due
to sequester can never be restored. For example, the Homeland Security's Federal
Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) runs highly regarded law enforcement
training programs that are used by much of the federal government. Many law
enforcement professionals consider FLETC to be the "gold standard" for training.
DHS shutdown planning guidance
indicated only 61 of FLETC's 1074 employees would
be exempt from the shutdown. That means training operations come to a halt.
Students in residence at FLETC are returned to their homes and their training has
to be rescheduled. Given the demand for FLETC training and the reduction in
capacity caused by losing two to three weeks on the calendar, it is likely crucial
training classes will be deferred for weeks or months. The loss of capacity and
additional cost of transportation are casualties of the shutdown.
- Recruiting. The federal government, like any other employer,
experiences significant amounts of turnover every year. Even with the budget
shrinking and numbers of federal employees dropping, data from OPM's Fedscope
reporting tool show the government is likely to hire almost 200,000 new employees
in Fiscal 2014, just to replace people who are leaving. That number is a
significant drop from the more than 309,000 in Fiscal 2009. Recruiting for federal
jobs has been hard enough in the past few years, with potential hires routinely
asking why they should go to work for a government that has not granted a general
pay raise in four years. Shutdown politics are another strike against the federal
government as an employer. Supporters of big government and small government alike
agree that, whatever its size, the government should have talented employees.
- Retention. The pay disruption, stress and uncertainty the shutdown
caused will most likely push more employees out of government. While there is a
lot of attention paid to how it might affect those who are at or near retirement
age, the potential effects on younger employees should not be ignored. Study after
study tells us millennials do not expect to stay with an employer for an entire
career. Combine that with the portability of the Thrift Savings Plan and the pay
issues and it is reasonable to conclude younger employees will be likely to leave
government in larger numbers. Losing highly experienced older workers and the up-
and-comers who are the future of the federal workforce is a one-two punch that
will have lasting effects on the government's ability to have the right people for
the job.
- Contracts. Many businesses that have federal contracts have received
"stop work" notices from contracting officers. They have to wait for another
"start work" notice to be able to start work again. The disruption in work will
directly affect schedules and will result in increased costs for the government.
- Morale. Jack Moore has a great piece on Federal News Radio about the
effects of the shutdown on morale. Nothing about the shutdown is motivating to
federal workers. Given all of the research on the effects of morale and engagement
on productivity and other key workplace measures, we should expect to see the
shutdown dragging the workforce down for months or even years.
- Scientific Research. The National Institutes of Health furloughed most
of their employees. New clinical trials are not starting and new patients are not
being accepted. Fhose with life-threatening illnesses are not getting care that
may prolong or save their lives. Science Magazine has a new piece showing more
lasting effects of the shutdown on research.
- Housing. Bloomberg has an excellent piece outlining the effects of the
shutdown on the housing market. The effects are driven by shutdown-driven delays
in mortgage approvals.
- Adding to Backlogs. The shutdown stopped work in many agencies that
already have backlogs of cases awaiting review and approval. The delays caused
during the shutdown will extend far beyond because many cases are added to the
pile awaiting review. Not only are those already in the queue being delayed, new
cases will face a much longer queue.
- Cost. Backpay for employees idled by the shutdown (800,000 employees off work for a week - 400,000 for another eight days, at a cost of $79,000 per employee) will exceed $2 billion. Agencies will not be given extra dollars to pay for it. It will come out of budgets that have already been squeezed by sequestration. Even in today's inflated dollars, $2 billion is still folding money. The effects of losing that $2 billion will be felt by countless programs.
These are but a few examples of how shutdown damage will linger far beyond the day federal employees go back to work. Every agency in government will have its own collection of shutdown after effects. It may be months or years (or never) before the true cost and effects are known.

I think you are being too hard on atheists in general burt, even though we might deserve some dismissal. Most of us would gladly welcome this ancient wisdom of which you speak so reverently. We may not be quite able to contexualize their ideas for a proper understanding, but maybe certain interpreters (like say Joseph Campbell) could help us to see the wisdom in thoughts that are clearly not to be taken literally (at least not in today's culture or philosophy).
However, those who embrace the "ancient wisdom" (i.e., those who remain believing christians to this day) when asked by us to give us their enlightenment well they give us stock answers that fly in the face of our scientific understanding or require a leap of faith that for us defies reason. I can certianly appreciate ancient wisdom because I do embrace Taoist philosophy that is nearly 3,000 years old and I find Zen Buddhism to be brilliant and relevant . . . but in christianity there is nothing to compare with these Eastern philosophies. Maybe I've been exposed to too much wisdom to find the christian theology compelling or even moderately wise . . . but don't go blaming me for this extensive exposure to other brilliant works of human ingenuity and then tell me that I'm too closed-minded or that I just don't get it. How much of the Bhagavad Gita have you read? Have you studied Tibetan Buddhism? Have you read Chuang Tze? Confucius? Have you at least examined Bahai, Zoroastrianism, the Mayans, the Incas, the Aztecs? Have you looked at the Pyramids and wondered?
I'm just tired of being put down as if I don't understand the "ancient wisdom" of the christian faith . . . let's face it people, when you compare it with everything else that's available, it just doesn't stack up very highly.

|The Food Lab: Three Ways to Grill Corn Corn Week: Grilled Corn with Spicy Korean Miso Sauce
- 2 tablespoons white miso paste
- 2 tablespoons gochujang (see note above)
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon juice from 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/4 cup finely sliced scallions
- 8 ears corn, shucked
Light one chimney full of charcoal. When all the charcoal is lit and covered with gray ash, pour out and arrange the coals on one side of the charcoal grate. Set cooking grate in place, cover grill and allow to preheat for 5 minutes. Alternatively, set half the burners on a gas grill to the highest heat setting, cover, and preheat for 10 minutes. Clean and oil the grilling grate.
While grill preheats, combine miso, gochujang, mayonnaise, lemon juice, half of cilantro, and half of scallions. Whisk until homogenous. Set aside.
Place corn directly over hot side of fire. If using coal grill, keep uncovered. If using gas, cover when not turning corn. Cook the corn, turning every minute or so until it is well charred on all sides, about 10 minutes total.
Transfer corn to a large bowl. Coat with sauce using a spoon or a brush. Transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with remaining cilantro and scallions. Serve immediately.

RALEIGH — An Oklahoma man facing racketeering charges in Florida over alleged illegal gambling operations gave more than $230,000 to North Carolina political campaigns in the past two years, including to more than 60 legislators, a group said Monday.
Democracy North Carolina, a campaign finance advocacy group, calculated the amount attributed to Chase Burns of Anadarko, Okla., during the 2011-12 election cycle after reviewing both electronic and paper campaign filings with the State Board of Elections.
Sen. Rick Gunn, R-Alamance, was one of several Triad area legislators who received campaign donations from Burns. Burns' contribution to Gunn's campaign totaled $4,000, an amount similar to what Burns donated to other Republican senate candidates in the Piedmont.
Gunn said he doesn't know Burns personally and didn't know of his "improprieties" until news reports about his indictment and campaign contributions began spreading.
"I received a lot of checks directly to my campaign from any number of businesses, PACs, entities and individuals," Gunn said. "I did the same with all of them: I complied with state law and reported them in a timely manner."
Democracy North Carolina said it found donations attributed to Burns going to 63 current House and Senate members, as well as $55,000 combined to the North Carolina Republican Senate Caucus and Republican Senate Caucus within the state Republican Party. Burns was the No. 1 individual donor to state legislators during the last election cycle, Democracy North Carolina said.
The total amount is $75,000 more than what was reported when Burns was arrested last week, based on campaign finance data posted on the state elections board web site. Data from paper campaign finance reports filed by candidate committees often are delayed in getting posted online and scrutiny of the reports are cumbersome, group executive director Bob Hall said.
"We went through the legislators' disclosure reports, one by one, to determine how much he donated," Hall said in a release.
Burns is accused of owning parlors operated by a purported Florida-based charity called Allied Veterans of the World that Florida officials say had earned about $300 million from illegal gambling. But only a small percentage of the earnings actually went to veterans, according to authorities.
Burns' company is called International Internet Technologies. Gov. Pat McCrory used to work for a Charlotte law firm called Moore & Van Allen that lobbied for the company until last week, when news of the arrests of Burns and others were disclosed.
McCrory, who is not a lawyer and has never filed as a lobbyist, said late last week he had no contact with Burns, didn't know who he was and never performed work for Burns' company. Moore & Van Allen said it had worked for International Internet Technologies on legislative strategy and media outreach.
McCrory's campaign received $8,000 from Burns and his wife last year. The campaign disgorged itself of the money last week by donating it to a Durham homeless ministry. House Democrats said they would donate amounts equal to Burns' donations to charities that help North Carolina veterans.
House Speaker Thom Tillis, R-Mecklenburg, whose campaign received $6,500 from Burns, also said Monday his campaign also would donate an identical amount to a military charity. Senate leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham, said in an interview Monday evening he would donate the $8,000 his campaign received from Burns to a yet-to-be-determined charity.
Video sweepstakes companies and parlor operators in North Carolina have been trying to keep their industry legal in the state despite the General Assembly passing several laws to ban the games.
International Internet Technologies was a plaintiff in a case before the state Supreme Court in which it challenged the constitutionality of a recent ban. The justices upheld the ban in December. A favorable ruling for machine operators would have opened the door to legitimize the industry through state regulation. The General Assembly would write any laws to legalize the games.
Hall said his group's review of donations showed apparent reporting mistakes. In one report, Burns was listed as a "director of public affairs" for Moore & Van Allen and company lobbyist Tom Sevier also was identified. In another report, Burns' address was listed as the lobbying firm's Triangle-area office.
Moore & Van Allen spokesman Brian Nick said Monday that "on a few occasions a (Moore & Van Allen) employee delivered a campaign contribution to a candidate" on behalf of Burns because he lived in Oklahoma. It's lawful for a lobbyist to forward a contribution check to a legislator, but they can't "bundle" contributions — collect several checks and give them to a single candidate.
One $2,500 donation was attributed to International Internet Technologies, Democracy North Carolina said. Business donations to candidate committees are illegal.

In letters, children plead with Obama to change gun laws
Associated Press
These letters, provided by the White House, from Julia, 11, of Washington; Grant, 8, of Maryland, and Taejah, 10 of Georgia; ask President Barack Obama to change gun laws. On Wednesday, when the president makes his long-awaited announcement of proposals to reduce gun violence, he will be joined by Grant, Tajeah and other children from across the U.S. who expressed their concerns about gun violence and school safety to the one person they think can make a difference: the president.
"It's a free country but I recommend there needs (to) be a limit with guns," Grant wrote in the Dec. 17 letter. "Please don't let people own machine guns or other powerful guns like that."
In the days after the shooting, children around the country apparently had the same idea as Grant. They put their feelings about the massacre on paper and sent those letters to a receptive White House.
"I am writing to ask you to STOP gun violence," wrote Tajeah, a 10-year-old from Georgia. "I am very sad about the children who lost their lives. So, I thought I would write to you to STOP gun violence."
On Wednesday, when Obama makes his long-awaited announcement of proposals to reduce gun violence, he will be joined by Grant, Tajeah and other children from across the U.S. who expressed their concerns about gun violence and school safety to the one person they think can make a difference: the president.
The White House shared three such letters with The Associated Press, from youngsters who seemed in agreement that Obama should do what's necessary to make it harder for people to get guns. None of the writers, including Grant, who is closest in age to the 6- and 7-year-olds who were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School, said they were against efforts to tighten access to guns.
Obama has spoken in favor of banning assault-style weapons, limiting high-capacity ammunition magazines and requiring background checks for every gun buyer.
On the other side of the issue, the National Rifle Association, the powerful lobbying group for gun owners, views any effort to limit access to guns as an infringement on the Second Amendment right to bear arms and has pledged to fight attempts by Congress to enact new restrictions. Some sportsmen and people who own guns for protection also oppose many gun control laws.
Second Amendment. Right to bear arms. Lobbying group. None of that was mentioned in the letters, scribbled in the rough penmanship of children.
Eleven-year-old Julia, who lives in the District of Columbia and dotted the "I" in her name with a heart, wrote that she has four brothers and sisters and "I know I would not be able to bear the thought of losing any of them." She said it should be "very hard" for people to buy guns and closed by acknowledging that Obama can't make changes by himself.
"I know that laws have to be passed by Congress but I beg you to try very hard to make guns not allowed. Not just for me, but for the whole United States," Julia wrote, signing the letter with "my love and regrets." She will also be at the White House on Wednesday.
The White House did not release last names for any of the letter writers, or hometowns for Grant and Tajeah.

Asphalt Roofing
The most popular choice for a pitched roof is asphalt. Cheap, light and durable three-tab shingles are by far the most common roofing material in the U.S. They look fine on almost any home. They do not require structural reinforcement and they stand up to the weather in most areas. Specialized stain-resistant shingles are even available for humid or coastal areas.
The next step up, in cost, quality and appearance, is a laminated (or dimensional) asphalt shingle. These thicker shingles have a varied, three-dimensional appearance that resembles cedar or slate more than three-tab asphalt. Laminated asphalt is more expensive than traditional asphalt, but it also is rated to last longer.
On the other end of the asphalt spectrum, asphalt roll roofing is one of the cheapest options on the market. It is easy to install, and it may be a good temporary option if you must wait to install a permanent roof or are planning to "pop the top" and add a second story.
