The Chamberlain
1000 Westmount Drive, West Hollywood, CA, USA
Neighborhood: West Hollywood
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Deep in the heart of West Hollywood, on a quiet residential street between Sunset and Santa Monica, the Chamberlain is actually quite a bit cooler than it looks. This is no backhanded compliment — in a reversal of what seems to be the standard procedure in Los Angeles, the Chamberlain presents an unassuming public face, and keeps its surprises to itself.
From the outside, this '70s apartment building doesn't attract much attention — though someday this architectural style will be back in fashion, at which time West Hollywood will be its Mecca. Inside, though, it's a different story; rooftop swimming pools, for example, are always in style, especially with panoramic views of LA and the Hollywood Hills, and the lobby sets the tone.
The bedrooms are impressive as well — the interiors are striking, modern-luxe, perhaps more masculine in its blues and greys than some other SoCal boutiques. Each room, improbably enough, comes with a gas fireplace for when the temperature dips below 70, as well as more traditional amenities like flat-screen televisions and DVD players. These rooms are for nesting, little homes away from home — some suites even come with kitchenettes.
Then again the bistro and bar are probably all you'll need, and when you're ready to stretch your legs the Chamberlain is close by to the Sunset Strip as well as the many bars and restaurants of West Hollywood. This one will probably never become the kind of destination hotel that's the center of its own nightlife universe, but for the Chamberlain's guests, that's as it should be — West Hollywood has enough going on as it is, and a stylish place to lay one's head is a welcome addition indeed.
How to get there:
The Chamberlain is a 30-minute drive from Los Angeles International Airport. but the trip can take over 45 minutes in traffic. Valet parking is available for $35 USD per night and $26 USD per night for hybrid vehicles.
Please note: Painting crews are currently working on the exterior of The Chamberlain; work is expected to continue through February, 2015.
- Complimentary upgrade upon hotel check-in, based upon availability

CLINTON VAN DER BERG, writing in SA Rugby magazine, reveals how the Lions went from Super Rugby chumps in 2010 to Currie Cup champs in 2011.
Ahead of the Currie Cup semi-final against Western Province, Golden Lions president Kevin de Klerk sat down to pen a letter to each member of the squad of 22.
To Doppies la Grange, he wrote, 'You are one of those rare players who can turn a game … but we haven't seen the Doppies factor for a while. We need it.' To Elton Jantjies, he wrote that he believed he could become the best flyhalf in the world and that he needed to continue working hard on the basics.
And so he went.
Such was his painstaking attention to saying the right things, it took him five hours.
For De Klerk, the original lion king, it was a matter of honour to be associated with the Lions of 2011. Indeed, when they followed up a week later with their rousing Currie Cup title triumph against the Sharks, he was beaming.
They had come through tortured times and he had inherited a mess, but here was growth at its most resplendent.
Exactly 40 years before, he had made his first start for Transvaal, the Rooibonte. In the ensuing years he had watched despairingly as the grand empire built by Louis Luyt in the 1980s slowly crumbled.
De Klerk, who earns his money in the demolition business, is central to the Lions narrative because he is such a core part of their revival. He wasn't motivated by the gravy train, the free tickets or the headlines. What motivated him was history.
'I grew up in Rosettenville, the son of a miner,' he recalls. 'I was always guaranteed a fight on the way home – and that was usually with the strongest girl.
'I played rugby because I loved it. My first game for Transvaal in '71, I locked alongside my hero, Piet Botha. I always appreciated what administrators and coaches did for me.'
That same year he was in the side that drew with Northern Transvaal in the Currie Cup final. He would go on to play many more games for Transvaal and later shared in a Springbok series triumph against the All Blacks. Lions blood courses through his veins.
Many factors contributed to the Lions' ascendancy this year, but arguably one of the most important was the very first issue De Klerk tackled when he assumed the presidency in 2009.
'I needed to get the team ethos back. We were very fragmented – practising in Randburg, gyming in Bryanston and then playing at Ellis Park.'
The point was that the team was literally and figuratively all over the place. And it showed as they became a laughing stock.
De Klerk's philosophy was that the Super Rugby and Currie Cup sides were the shop window to the union. But the window was muddy, tatty, embarrassing.
'We didn't have the money … we had to farm with what we had. There was talk of unloading Derick Minnie and Michael Killian and I said no. They needed encouragement and belief.'
The next thing he did was work on morale, among the team and the administrative staff.
'The first thing I did was pull the dynamics together – coaching, training, motivation – and helped elevate the spirit among the staff, the executive committee, the board and the trust. I involved equity partners too, but that backfired.'
De Klerk still hosts a bi-weekly session with his staff over tea and biscuits.
'The improvement in morale has been phenomenal,' he says, stressing that any success achieved has been the result of a collective effort.
'Among the team, I wanted to bring back the culture of old, how we used to sing songs and tell rugby stories.'
In De Klerk's first few months, Jake White's 'Winning Way' was brought in, as was Dick Muir. The results were mixed, but one happy spinoff was that Muir recommended coach John Mitchell to the union.
De Klerk liked the New Zealander the instant he met him.
'His demeanour, attitude and philosophy were just right. Take my word for it: there isn't a better technical coach in world rugby and there is no way I would allow him to be poached by the Springboks. He is with me until 2013, at least.'
Mitchell arrived with the reputation of being a straight shooter. His direct style had won him few friends in Perth, where he was the founding coach of the Western Force, and he was known for wielding the big stick.
By all accounts, Mitchell's players aren't his biggest fans, but De Klerk likens that to his days in the army. 'I hated my corporal, but I was never fitter in my life.'
The Mitchell method isn't for everyone. The Force team ultimately rebelled, but the Lions were different, responding to his strong sense of order and discipline.
'I think it's because South Africans grow up with a deep respect for their elders and leaders,' says De Klerk.'John talks to the cause. Hy dra nie doekies om [he doesn't beat around the bush]. There are lots of teams where it's a case of the tail wagging the dog. You can't become friends with your coach. John has no problem saying, "Listen pal, you're not cutting it."'
One moment during the Super Rugby season perfectly demonstrated his attitude. After losing 34-30 to the Chiefs in a classic game, there was a feeling that the Lions had done well. Mitchell wouldn't hear of it.
'We let this one slip. I'm not interested in people praising one another because they came close to winning.'
It's an attitude recognised by Josh Strauss, the piratical figure who became a lightning rod for the team's fortunes.
'The talent was always there; the coach just managed it better. He instilled discipline and he made us choose core values. The guys he finished with are the guys who can handle it, who can take the criticism.'
Strauss and La Grange addressed the team during the captain's run on the eve of the final. Their message was that they had taken so many pot shots from the media and supporters that nothing the Sharks did could blow them off course. When the players were handed their match jerseys, the number '9912' was embroidered on, to represent 1999, the last time they had won the Currie Cup, and the dozen years since.
Part of what made Mitchell so successful was the training team he assembled. Wayne Taylor of New Zealand, his conditioning coach, is a stickler for fitness. He got stuck in. Even now, he says they are three years off where they ought to be physically.
Backline coach Carlos Spencer's reputation precedes him, suffice to say that he hates losing. Despite his quiet presence, he lets the team know exactly how he feels. It was Jantjies who earned the plaudits after scoring 24 points in the final, but less dwelled upon was the bag of tricks Spencer endowed him with. The jinks, the subtle touches and the clever kicks are straight from the Spencer manual.
Then there was the quiet, brooding presence of Johan Ackermann, who fired up a pack of forwards that could by no measure be called outstanding. But JC Janse van Rensburg, Bandise Maku, Franco van der Merwe and others were like a band of brothers who stuck together and fought together.
Elsewhere, you only had to look at the form of players like La Grange, Strauss, Michael Bondesio, Minnie and Jaco Taute, a group of renegades, aspirants and nearly men, to realise that Mitchell's great gift was his ability to draw the very best out of them.
But the Lions' journey to Currie Cup success wasn't without potholes. The fallout with their equity partners was damaging and there was also the messy departure of Jano Vermaak, one of De Klerk's great regrets.
'To lose him was a helluva blow, but then Bondesio came in and injected a tempo we never had. Watching every player develop was a thrill, but a particular highlight was JC Janse van Rensburg. He has the heart of a lion despite not being physically imposing. It's hard to dwell on individuals, there were so many. Michael Rhodes, Elton, Josh Strauss, Franco … I saw Franco walking down the tunnel the other day and told him, "Now you're starting to look like a lock, my mate."'
Notwithstanding the difficulty in signing new players – 'You don't just pull them off shop shelves,' says De Klerk – he believes they are well set to approach the new Super Rugby season with greater confidence. There is no hubris surrounding their Currie Cup win, just the certainty that they need to build on it.
'I must reiterate that the victory belongs to the players,' says De Klerk. 'We were behind the scenes. All glory to them.'
The success in the Currie Cup will doubtless help attract players, as it did in early November when a number of new signings were announced, including the Cronjé brothers (Guy and Ross), Stephen Greeff, Callie Visagie and Hendrik Roodt. Mitchell will doubtless be shopping for more.
There's no outlandish claim to cracking the Super Rugby play-offs, but De Klerk says he would be disappointed if they didn't finish in the top half. The last year was pock-marked by what-could-have-beens, but with many young players now entering their third season of Super Rugby, the expectations are rooted in realism. 'We've helped stabilise the rocky ship and they feel it.'
Happily De Klerk is in it for the long haul. He may be hobbling around thanks to recent knee replacement surgery, but the to-do list remains long and he remains determined.
Right at the top is preserving the status of the Lions as Saru ponders how to make six go into five for the 2013 Super Rugby season. De Klerk won't tolerate talk of the Lions being removed or merging with the Cheetahs.
'It's been tough, but I'm going damn nowhere. I won't allow these doors to close.'

Tough Weekend Ends for Women's Volleyball in 3-1 Loss to Lander; Markham Sets New Mark for Digs
September 4, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University ended its appearance in the 2010 Catawba Invitational with a 3-1 (13-25, 25-20, 20-25, 18-25) loss to Lander University on Saturday afternoons at Catawbas Goodman Gym. The win pushes the Bearcats to 2-1 on the year while the Lady Falcons fall to 0-4.
Landers Chelsey Corgan (Deland, FL) served up a pair of early aces for a four-point lead while three kills from Abbie Ovbey (Mt. Gilead, NC) tried to bring Pfeiffer back late in the set. Two Lindsey Everhart (Cincinnati, OH) kills eventually gave the Bearcats a 25-13 win in the opener.
Pfeiffer bounced back to even the match at one set apiece led by a pair of Milana Mervosh (Roebuck, SC) and Kim Amerell (Lynchburg, VA) kills. The Lady Falcons bolted out to a 12-5 lead. Lander attempted a comeback with two more Everhart kills and service ace by Mallory Wasik (Keystone Heights, FL) in front of two more throw downs by Mervosh put the Lady Falcons up for good. Amerell clinched the set with the final kill for a 1-1 match.
Lander took another early lead on Pfeiffer errors in game three, before Colleen Wands (Apex, NC) served up one of her two aces in the match to put the Lady Falcons up 8-7. With a knotted contest at 11, the Bearcats would score nine of the next 10 points to create the final separation. Four Pfeiffer miscues finished off set three including on the games final point.
Pfeiffer ran out of gas in set four as a Candace LaRocca (St. Louis, MO) kill forced a Lady Falcon timeout at 10-5. A Mervosh kill brought Pfeiffer to within five at 14-9, but a Corgan ace broke Lander out to a 19-10 advantage. The Lady Falcons weekend concluded on the weekends unwelcomed theme of another unforced error in Landers 25-18 victory.
For Pfeiffer, Ovbey finished with a match-high 13 kills while Melissa McCracken (Washington, IL) paced Lander with 13. Everhart concluded with a dozen. LaRocca dished out a game-high 44 assists while Wands wrapped up with 31. Pfeiffer libero Kaci Markham (Asheboro, NC) set a new school record with 28 digs in the four-set match.
Pfeiffer will have a couple of days off before searching for their first win in the 2010 Conference Carolinas opener on Tuesday night. The Lady Falcons will host Barton at 7:00 p.m. in the Merner Gym. Live video and live stats will be available through www.gofalconsports.com.

Indi Go Artist Co-Op
Editor's Review
A group of artists have taken over this storefront in the south part of downtown Champaign, right next to another longtime art space, the Old Vic Art Gallery. It's an attractive two-level space with brick walls painted white. The spacious gallery puts the focus on a couple of local artists at a time. By its nature, Indi Go does not have that wide a selection of art at any given time, but it's worth a quick look. Indi Go defines its philosophy as: "Visual space has essentially no owner." The co-op's mission is to provide space for emerging artists from the University of Illinois and the local community.The gallery hosts openings for its artists as well as other occasional events, such as musical performances.

looking to trade picks with anyone, PM me
But for this draft we're not taking next yrs rookies b/c we don't know how to rate them. If we did keepers we could have a rookie draft after the tournament, and we get to keep our rookies for next year too
looking to trade picks with anyone, PM me
Wait, I didn't know we reordered the draft, what the hell.
I went from 1 to 22 lol...
is there a time limit on the next pick? if the guy didnt pick on time, what happens?
Last edited by speedyG; 05-01-2012 at 09:07 PM.
24 hours? man the first round alone can take more than 3 weeks.
I have a feeling the player I want won't be there at 5 so i would be willing to trade out of it if he isn't still there,
and by this player i mean Brian Scalabrine.
24 hours is fine...
I ran a NFL mock a few weeks back and it took us a week to complete the first round of 32 teams.

I'm either picking Chris Paul or Dwight Howard depending on who 2nd guy picks so I wish he would hurry haha.
24 hours is a fine amount of time. Everyone remember to check just once a day to make sure that you arn't holding us up.
if the draft does get too slow I'll shorten the time limit, and if people miss 3 straight picks then I'm gonna autopick for them w/ the 2k12 ratings or get a replacement
This is going to take a while......
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
im sorry but that is a horrific pick mr bojangles
im not steve, i dont know you i was just saying that was a terrible pick given the situation you had. i dont know about your basketball knowledge but you may be new to the game so im not going to comment other than just saying bad pick
seriously almost finished the top 3 and no scal taken yet? puh lease
aww man! I wanted Dwight
You must've known that he wouldn't get out of the top 3. Sorry bro

OXFORD, Ohio-Despite making a valiant effort in the final minutes to come back against the visiting Western Michigan Broncos (13-7; 5-2 Mid-American Conference), the Miami University men's basketball team fell 72-68 Wednesday night at Millett Hall. Junior forward Will Felder recorded his second double-double of the year with 17 points and a season-high 13 rebounds.
The RedHawks (7-12; 2-5 MAC) started a smaller lineup than usual, and their quickness showed in the opening minutes, allowing them to jump out to a 13-2 lead. The first five baskets all came on layups, including a breakaway by sophomore guard Will Sullivan after a steal at midcourt. A three from Sullivan took Miami to 13 points, but Western Michigan took control after that shot. Scoring the next 12 points, the Broncos jumped out in front, 14-13.
Freshman guard Geovonie McKnight's basket at 12:30 gave the RedHawks their lead back, but the Broncos answered right back to reclaim their advantage. Junior center Drew McGhee scored to put the RedHawks ahead 17-16, but Western Michigan took the lead again for the fourth lead change in less than two minutes. The momentum stayed with the Broncos this time, and they held on to the lead until a tip-in by junior forward Jon Harris to make the score 31-30 with just over two minutes until halftime.
Western Michigan's Brandon Pokley made both of his free-throw attempts at the 1:23 mark to put his team back up by one, but he was quickly answered by Felder, who made two foul shots of his own. On the RedHawks' next possession, Felder grabbed an offensive rebound and laid one in to put his team up by three and give Miami a 35-32 halftime lead.
Felder scored 10 of his 17 points and six of his 13 rebounds in the opening half, which led all players. The Broncos went the final 6:42 of the first half without a field goal, allowing the RedHawks to end the half on a 13-4 run.
The roles reversed to start the second half, however, and Western Michigan took a 41-40 lead thanks to a 9-2 scoring run. Five more points stretched the Bronco lead to six, matching their largest of the night. Two free throws from Harris and a three from junior guard Allen Roberts closed the gap to one, 46-45, with 13:13 left to play.
Eight straight points from Western Michigan put the Bronco lead at 54-45, but another three from Sullivan and a bucket from McKnight cut the deficit to four, 54-50, with a little over eight minutes remaining. The RedHawks kept fighting and came within three, 62-59, when Western Michigan was called for a technical foul, sending Felder to the line. He nailed both of his free throws to pull his team within one, and then junior guard Quinten Rollins followed that up with two freebies of his own with 4:07 to play, giving the RedHawks with their first lead since the start of the half, 63-62.
Western Michigan jumped back in front, 67-65, but a steal by McKnight gave the RedHawks possession and led to a Bronco foul, sending freshman guard Reggie Johnson to the line. He missed his first shot but hit the second, cutting the deficit to one. A basket from Western Michigan's Shayne Whittington put the Broncos up three, but Rollins drove to the hoop and laid one in to put Miami back within one. A necessary foul sent the Broncos to the line and, after missing the first, Darius Paul made the second to make the score 70-68 and handing the RedHawks the ball with 22 seconds left.
Miami was unable to capitalize on the possession with a missed jumper and the Broncos pulled down a crucial defensive board, which caused Miami to commit a quick foul. Two WMU free throws with 12 seconds to secured the win for the Broncos.
In addition to Felder's 17 points and 13 rebounds which led all players, Roberts reached double figures with 10 points. Four Broncos reached double-digits, with Whittington leading the pack with 13. Despite Western Michigan ranking in the top-20 nationally in rebound differential, the RedHawks outrebounded their foes, 37-29.
Miami embarks on a two-game road stretch, heading to Central Michigan this Saturday for a 7 p.m. tilt with the Chippewas. Next Wednesday, the RedHawks travel to Toledo for another 7 p.m. game.

I think you would probably be in your best interest to get 4 or 5 Leopards and learn to throw them on nice flat, smooth lines.
Personally, I think the Leopard is the greatest disc ever created, just because it is so versatile. With the right amount of hyzer/anhyzer, it will do whatever you want and hold a line. Plus you can rip them for a mile.
They are sensitive to OAT (Off-Axis-Torque or Yanking It) which is why I think it would be in your best interest to learn from them. Once you have it dialed in to where you are throwing it 300+ on nice smooth, flat lines then you know your form is coming around and you're ready to start moving up.

Former Worcester coach Granato tapped by U.S. NTDP
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Former Worcester IceCats coach Don Granato has been named head coach at USA Hockey's National Team Development Program, it was announced Monday.
Granato, as one of two head coaches at the NTDP, will guide the U.S. National Under-17 team during the 2011-12 season.
"Don will be a terrific mentor to the best young players in our country," said Jim Johannson, assistant executive director of hockey operations for USA Hockey. "He's excited about the opportunity and we're very pleased to have him at the NTDP."
Granato's coaching career began in 1993 when he was named interim coach of the USHL's Madison Capitals. He went on to become the first-ever head coach and general manager of the USHL's Green Bay Gamblers for three seasons (1994-97), where he led the Gamblers to Anderson Cup titles as the USHL regular-season champion on two occasions (1996, 1997) and helped the franchise capture its first Clark Cup as the league's playoff champion.
Granato, the brother of Hockey Hall of Famer Cammi Granato, spent 2000-05 as head coach of the Worcester IceCats, the AHL affiliate of the St. Louis Blues. During that span, he became the winningest coach in franchise history with a 191-130-45-14 record, while leading the IceCats to the Calder Cup playoffs in four consecutive seasons (2000-04). Granato received the Louis A.R. Pieri Memorial Award in 2001 as the AHL Coach of the Year.
Granato spent last season as a scout for the NHL's Vancouver Canucks. Prior to the 2010-11 campaign, he served as head coach of the Chicago Wolves, the AHL affiliate of the Atlanta Thrashers (2008-10), and was also an assistant coach for the NHL's St. Louis Blues (2005-06).
"I'm thrilled to be a part of USA Hockey's National Team Development Program," said Granato. "The NTDP is highly regarded in hockey circles not only in our country, but throughout the world. I look forward to the challenge of helping some of our most talented young players reach their full potential. In addition, my wife and I are excited to be part of the Ann Arbor community."
Granato replaces Ron Rolston, who spent seven seasons at the NTDP and was recently named coach of the AHL's Rochester Americans.

Today I'm wearing Frapin L'Humaniste.
Thread: SOTD Sunday 16 September 2012
Ah, Sunday here we are. I unearthed a few samples from the disordered piles on my dressing table, so now I'm wearing a multitude of scents from forearms to knuckles:
Angel Sunessence
Fumerie Turque
Borneo 1834
Madini Ambergris Oil
Ambra Nera
and some byspray from filling a Travalo with my new Habit Rouge EDP.
Being an old Angel hand from way back, I'm considering the Sunessence for summer wear. It's not quite as sledgehammerish as original Angel, which I've pretty much given up wearing.
Today I'm wearing Frapin L'Humaniste.

Sagamore by Lancome
Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."

Good Sunday all.
Good morning, nice smelling folks!
While I completely and politely disagree with both hedonist and iodine -- not my thang is that too sweet lavender and spice -- I am somewhat rested after a short trip out of town and ready to face the music of another day. In Fragrance C from the Blind Sniff (Sturm und Drang).
"Like a lobster with a pearl in its claw, the beet held the jasmine firmly without crushing or obscuring it. Beet lifted jasmine, the way a bullnecked partner lifts a ballerina, and the pair came on stage on citron's fluty cue. As if jasmine were a collection of beautiful paintings, beet hung it in the galleries of the nose, insured it against fire or theft, threw a party to celebrate it. Citron mailed the invitations."

Hello everyone!
I'm in LouLou this morning, 80s edp.
Jon - whatever did y'all do with all your blackberries? We have some now, too - I'm thinking of making a big ol' crusty cobbler.
lilybelle - I have lots to tell you about but I need to check a few things regarding Réveillon ...several restaurants offer special menus for it, but I'm not sure which will actually be open after Midnight Mass. I won't leave you hanging too long - I promise!
Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. ..Carl Sagan

Good afternoon.
Revisiting Gardenia Petale today. Seemed appropriate for this gloriously sunny afternoon.
Do happy
With hellkelpie in Habit Rouge, except I'm drenched in it. Reading the papers, eating chocs, seeing you guys. Cooking later. Happy Days!!
I'm wearing Eau Arpege. I love the bottle, a rectangle with the square cap like in Jujy's avatar. There are no sharp corners, they are actually octagons. Its simplicity and elegance of classic proportion, the intaglio logo in the screw-on cap, the amber color of the juice (old), all are delightful. Sometimes I need visual beauty that is spare and serene. And the scent is a reminiscence of days long gone...I love the creamy sandalwood especially.
Hooray for Evangeline, representing Loulou! You know, I tried it again the other day after seeing your comments on the Loulou thread, and I think you're right: the old formula is not really brash. More sultry in an introverted way. Interesting how adjectives that get repeated about a fragrance seem to stick, even when they don't totally fit.
I'm in a combination of old formula Jovan Musk oil on the pulse points, Reminiscence Patchouli spray+walkthrough, and Caron Pour Un Homme liberally applied to the arms. The combination isn't so heady as it might sound, really very softly herbal. I cannot stop wearing Pour Un Homme; I've sneaked it four or five times this week, sleeping in it three more times! A first serious and unexpected specific scent addiction.
Hope you all enjoy the remaining weekend! I'm off to sing A Sunday Kind of Love.

Best to all.
The blackberry vodka sounds wonderful!! My mother used to infuse vodka with fruit: pineapple, and also raspberries, which give it a lovely pink color. I imagine the blackberries will tinge the vodka with a lovely wild berry flavor and color.
Welcome back, Mountainear!
Blackberry crumble? Yum...now I want some.

See my blog; http://www.basenotes.net/blogs/2645-kumquat
K- thanks would be to you!. Hugs.
I'm trying some of the new Habanita edp, thanks to a Basenotes friend who sent me some to try. Honestly, I think it is lovely. I love the original, both the current form of edt and also the vintage edt, which seems a tad smokier and darker, but maybe my decant was just aged. Some fragrances do age well, you know. But this new one...I don't think it suffers in the modern interpretation at all. It is truly lovely, diffuse and more transparent, but still identifiably Habanita, and very very wearable for today. I think it smells sexy. It is a youthful Habanita, but sophisticated. Each will have his/her own preference, but I really like this one. Well done, Molinard!
Congratulations, Kiliwia!
CJ Scents Sandalwood edp
Very very nice!
Good afternoon, all. Today I am mango & Jailia. Smelling much better than I was directly after the workout, LOL.

I'm testing PdN Kiss Me Tender today. Fluffy soft and marshmallow sweet to start, the opening top notes don't really hint at the rest of the fragrance ... it's more complex and the heliotrope is darker than I expected. I'm really enjoying it today.
top notes: orange flower, bitter almond, star anise,
middle notes: cinnamon, cloves, ylang-ylang, heliotrope
base notes: vanilla, musk, opoponax
hugs to all ...
I've trademarked the color bleu
We passed Grand Forks too -- I knew we should have stopped and knocked on your door, I just knew! LOL
LOL, we're 90 miles from GF but I could have met you there. I had it my head you were going the last of Sept, so when you said you were going to be gone a couple of days, it didn't register. Wow, you put on a lot of miles in a very short amount of time, no wonder you were tired when you got home.
Right. We were planning the last weekend of September, but my work schedule has changed so it was the only possible time.
Lilybelle and I will be Scent Twins, as I am currently drenching myself in the delicious new Habanita Eau de Parfum: The very first re-form I have ever smelled that out-does the original. I *LOVE* it. So comforting. So cuddly and sensual. So....Impeccable.
*Also* So very much more unisex than the original: It is a bit dryer, and has a suave powdery quality to it that any gentleman could pull off and come out smelling perfectly masculine and approachable. It truly is a Masterwork. If the nonsense at Guerlain & Caron only could be this smooth.....
"...a Chacun son Mauvais Gout."
I just cracked the nut as to why I love this so much, in a PM to Lilybelle: It reminds me so very much of the provincial cafes in Uni towns--where--after lessons--we boys would tear off our uniforms, put on the obligatory OTHER uniform of rolled up levi's, black leather jacket, grease up our hair, and go drink panaches, smoke our cigarettes, and play "Flipper" in these old cafe's with their tangerine plastic interiors from the 70's--and bring our own cassette tapes of, say, Boys Don't Cry by the Cure--this, of course, was the early 80's--it was important to be seen in town looking cool out of our stupid scratchy "Catho" uniforms--we all hated them--and so we'd go and stand around playing flipper. "La Frime" we'd call it--the word that meant: "Stand around looking Cool." These cafes--they smelled like Habanita!!!!! I thinks that's why I love it so much......
"...a Chacun son Mauvais Gout."
So you had an "aha" moment, MdM. I don't know why I love it...it doesn't remind me of anything...but I find it very skin scenty in texture as well as scent.

This docs is for v0.2+
- It is no longer a mandatory to provide a JMS ConnectionFactory. For a single JVM simple usage, you may use the default in-memory, non-persistent ActiveMQ connection factory, or you could configure your JMSProvider in several ways.
- The library is no longer used as a Groovy Category. The Groovy Category are hidden. There are a few different ways to use:
- The base Category API are slightly modified and are refactored to the JMSCoreCategory. Two sets of new APIs: GroovyJMS API and Groovy Messaging Service API are provided. The latter are designed base on the Groovy Sql.
- GroovyJMS Execution Context
- GroovyJMS mainly provide an execution context that you can use enhanced JMS API and convenient methods, and access to implicit variables
- GroovyJMS is based on JMS and preserve any JMS concepts and keywords. You could mix the usage of GroovyJMS API and JMS API in the execution context.
- GroovyJMS mainly provide an execution context that you can use enhanced JMS API and convenient methods, and access to implicit variables
- GroovyJMS Core API
- GroovyJMS Core API is based on the JMSCoreCategory, and shall be used in Execution Context. APIs are provided for JMS Resource and Destination
- JMS Resource - ConnectionFactory, Connection and Session. You could create any of them outside the execution context and pass to the constructor of GroovyJMS, or you could use the implicitly created instances.
- Refer to the next section about JMS ConnectionFactory
- Inside the execution context, you could get a copy of the thread-scope connection and session instance. But you cannot set a new connection or session.
- JMS Resources are used interchangeably when creating lower level JMS Resource
- GroovyJMS provides high level API that use a single connection and session per thread. Unless you want a fine-grained control over the re-use of Connection and Session, it is not necessary to care about these resources.
- JMS Destination - Queue, Topic
- There are two types of JMS destination. GroovyJMS provides high level API to operate on any Queue or Topic, unless you need to get a reference for JMS Destination, you don't need to care about JMS Destinations.
- Short API are provided for creating JMS Destinations. Similar to JMS Resource, calling subject is interchangable.
- The return value of topic() and queue() are JMS Topic and Queue respectively. However, in GroovyJMS Execution Context, you could use some operation APIs such as send(), receive() etc. directly on JMS Destination.
- APIs
- GroovyJMS API
- GroovyJMS API is based on the JMSCoreCategory, and shall be used in Execution Context
- For simple usage, it is the only thing you need to learn. GroovyJMS API uses keywords from JMS API.
- "send" and "receive" for Queue messages
- "publish" and "subscribe" for Topic messages
- You could call the API in two style
- Message as subject, and sendTo
- Or use the destination/Message as subject
- For certain operations, you don't even need a subject
- API in a spreadsheet [http://www.editgrid.com/publish/html/user/mingfai/24976908/A2:M24]
- Message as subject, and sendTo
- Groovy Messaging Service API
- Groovy Messaging Service API do not need to run in the Execution Context.
- Groovy Messaging Service API is designed base on the Groovy core Sql API.
Groovy SQL
Possible JMS Usage
or just use new JMS()
jms.eachMessage("myQueue"){m-> }
jms.eachMessage("myQueue", [within:100]){}
jms.reply() could be used inside the closure
reply is not implemented
jms.firstMessage("myQueue") { println it.text
jms.onMessage(topic:"mytopic"){ m -> }
jms.onMessage(topic: "mytopic",durable:false){m -> }
jms.onMessage(queue:"myQueue"){ m -> }
jms.onMessage(queue:"myQueue",topic: "mytopic"){ m -> } //subscribe queue and topic at the same time
//onMessage supports only one listener per session; if you need multiple subscription, use core API subscribe method and specific different subscriptionName
jms.onMessage( topic: ['topic0', 'topic1']{ m -> }
jms.onMessage( queue: ['queue0', 'qeueu1']{ m -> }
jms.onMessage( topic:'mytopic', queue: ['queue0', 'qeueu1']{ m -> }
jms.stopMessage( topic:"myTopic") // unsubscribe the listener
jms.stopMessage( topic:['myTopic','myTopic2']) //TODO not implemented
def result = jms.receive( fromQueue:'myQueue', within:1000)
jms.receive( fromQueue: 'myQueue', within:1000)
{ println it }
jms.receive( fromQueue:['queue0','queue1'], within:1000, with:
{ println it})
fromTopic and fromQueue could be used together
fromQueue always call receiveAll (to be enhanced to take a parameter to return only 1 message)
if fromQueue has more than one queue, it return all messages of all queues
fromTopic is asynchronous durable subscription, if both fromQueue and fromTopic are used together, any immediately available messages in any fromQueue will return first, and new message will be delivered to the same with closure in a later time
either use jms.receive([:]){ } or jms.receive([xxx:yyy, with:{}]) ; the former override the later
within is a per queue timeout interval, not total; if there are more than one queue, each are retrieved in sequence
jms.send( toTopic:'myTopic', message:[key:value], replyTo:'')
toTopic and toQueue could be used together
toTopic and toQueue support collection
- All return value or closure handler result are JMS Message. It might be changed to String, Map, Byte[], Stream and Object in the future.
- Similar to Sql, fine-grained control over connection/session could be done by passing in a JMS Connection or Session in the JMS.newInstance(), and user has to close the session/connection themselves
JMS Connection Factory
To use GroovyJMS, you need to decide which JMS implementation you'll use. There are several options:
- use the default in-memory, not-persistent ActiveMQ broker and connection factory, this is created by the ActiveMQJMSProvider class. Notice that the ActiveMQJMSProvider will start a ActiveMQ broker if it is not existed already, and will add a "vm://localhost" transport connector URL if not existed. In this case, the syntax is as simple as:
- Provide a JMSProvider by
- specific a "groovy.jms.provider" system property that point to a class that implements groovy.jms.provider.JMSProvider
- set a JMSProvider to the JMS.provider static variable, e.g.
- Provide Connection Factory or Connection in runtime. it is the most recommended approach. You may utilize your JEE container or dependency injection framework to inject the required JMS resources to your class, and support the connection or factory to GroovyJMS.
So how cool is GroovyJMS in compare to JMS?
- simplified api
- subscribe to multiple topics and queues at the same time
- simple listener implementation by using Closure
- Groovish API , e.g. jms.eachMessage{}, jms.onMessage{}
- English language style api: jms.send toQueue:'myQueue',message:'hello world'
- etc.
Other important information
- autoClose
- by default, all connection are closed at the end of an execution context, or after any operation for Groovy Messaging Service API.
- For Groovy Messaging Service API, if you need to do more than one operation, you have to set autoClose to false, and call close() explicitly
- When using in execution context, it's unommon to disable autoClose. As one of the purpose of the execution context is to autoClose resource for you. If you need to use execution context and want to disable autoClose, one of the ways is:
- Or you'd better directly use the JMS Category without setting up an execution context.
Unsupported Features or Limitation
- nested usage is not supported yet. you may still use the lib in nested manner but you have manage the Connection and Session carefully.
- For example:
- you are recommended to avoid nestled usage. If you use it, try to use a multiple connection.
- For example:
- There is no support for transaction. all messages are auto-committed

Beautiful stationary
I absolutely love magnet street! I looked and looked for invitations everywhere and finally ran across magnet street. The royal wedding collection is beautiful and well made. I got the invitation, RSVP cards, information cards, table numbers, and place cards for an amazing price! I couldn't be happier and I can not wait to use these for my November wedding. Highly recommended!

The way we see it, finishes are like fashion - to each his own. It's why we offer more than 30 different stain and paint finishing options. On the other hand, details like dovetails and mortise and tenon joints? They aren't up for debate.

Asalah defies Syrian government
Syrian singer Asalah Nasri announced that she refuses to travel to Syria and join Syrian stars in their support for the current Syrian government and President Bashar Al Assad. Asalah said that Syrian stars are "putting on an act fearing for their careers and even their lives."
Asalah said that she is devastated over the conditions in Syria and the crimes being committed against protesters and revolutionaries opposing the current regime.
"If I was not pregnant I would immediately go to Syria and join protesters who are fighting for their lives and defying the dictatorial government," she said.
Asalah sent out a message to all revolutionists telling them that the future is theirs and their suffering and bloodshed will eventually end and will provide a safe and secure place for generations to come.
The government and army will pay dearly for the torture and violence they are committing against the protesters, she added.

i bow to your courage asala, i lost hope that anyone backhome have any decency or morals.
But you gave me hope that some ppl are still alive, not all is dead.
Wow... Good for you Asalah.. aside from me liking her as a singer or not, but today i bow in respect for her...
wallahi i never respected anyone from the art and media seen, but Asala blew my mind. i have the greatest respect for her courage. keep in mind that she is a public figure and she would face more backlash that us
asala u suck u forget who send to make surgery for ue foot to stand and sing u just an idiot singer and dirty one
as far as i know she was treated by Syria money, not by president personal account. and your attempt to use bad words and cursing is really an indication of who you are not who she is. it take courage to do what she has done, but it take a coward to say what your are saying
I could not be more impressed. Artists should always be on the side of people who carried them on their shoulders and gave them fame and fortune. They owe their success to the people not the governments. They need to always remember that the side of the people is eventually the winning side no matter how long it takes.

NEWORLEANS - For the first time in its history, the city of New Orleans is creating an anti-gang unit to help curb crime and stop the violence. On Thursday afternoon, Mayor Mitch Landrieu announced the latest initiative in his murder reduction plan.
The proposal is part of the city's 'NOLA for Life' plan.
If you can't put down the gun and stop the gunfire, we'll come after you was the message being echoed by Mayor Landrieu, Superintendent Ronal Serpas, Orleans District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro, Orleans Parish Sheriff Marlin Gusman and other representatives from a total of 11 local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.
The agencies are teaming up to create a Multi-Agency Gang Unit led by the New Orleans Police Department which will dedicate six full-time officers to the unit. The goal is to combat gang and group violence in New Orleans. Landrieu says that criminal activity is being driven by about 600 individuals who have been identified in specific neighborhoods --- all members of dozens of gangs or groups.
'We have at least 39 groups of individuals that can be as small as three and as large as 15 that are loosely associated and behave in criminal behavior,' said Landrieu who stressed that only 30 are currently active.
District Attorney Cannizzaro says the Gang Unit will work closely with his office to make sure that suspected criminals go through the criminal justice system in groups not just as individuals.
Another key part of this new plan according to the Mayor is creating jobs opportunities and training to help encourage gang members to stop the criminal activity and choose another path in life.

Results vs. Limestone (2007-11-02 18:00:00)
November 2, 2007
|Pfeiffer Loses to Limestone
|Friday, 02 November 2007
|Misenheimer, NC---The Pfeiffer men's swimming team lost to conference opponent Limestone, 119-81, on Friday evening. They will race St. Andrews tomorrow at 1:00 pm.
Event winners for the Falcons were Edwin Torres in the mile (new school record), Patrick Porter in the 50 free and David Angell in the 200 back. Kevin Parks also broke one of the 20 plus year old school records in the 200 breast. Several other swimmers went best times.
Edwin Torres was pushed for the first 30 laps of the mile, but edged away and went on to win by over 20 seconds. Newcomers Patrick Porter and Marc Kourie went 1-2 in the 50 free in what was a very competitive race. David Angell battled from 2nd to secure the win the 200 backstroke, making a significant improvement in his underwater kicking to allow him to stay in the race early on.
Coach Hawkins said, "Overall it was a very challenging meet, made even more so due to having 4 women and 1 male swimmer sidelined with some random injuries. Without any depth against tough competition like that we knew it would be a big challenge. I was very happy with the overall performance and attitude though, and all the athletes who did swim were very competitive and fought hard to claim all the points they could. It wasn't just the event winners that made the meet still a successful event, but the other kids too who got in and did their job and then some in order to try to cover the gaps."

Rhodesian Ridgeback
Physical Characteristics
Breed Group:
The Rhodesian Ridgeback is a member of the Hound Group.
Male: 85 lb.; female: 70 lb.
Male: 25-27 inches; female 24-26 inches
The coat is light wheaten to red wheaten.
The Rhodesian Ridgeback sports a short, dense, glossy coat.
This strong-willed breed is loyal and powerful. The Rhodesian Ridgeback may be domineering.
Country of Origin:
South Africa
During the 16th – and 17th-centuries, large dogs accompanied the European Boers settlers to South Africa. The forerunners may include Mastiff, Great Dane, Bloodhound, Pointer, Staghound and Greyhound. The settlers looked to a dog that could tolerate both hot and cold and function as a guard dog and hunting dog. By breeding with the Hottentot tribal hunting dogs that wore a ridge of hair, the Rhodesian Ridgeback developed. In 1870s Rhodesia, this breed hunted large game, including lion.
Earlier known as African Lion Hound. Also known as Ridgeback, Lion Dog.
This protective breed can be reserved with strangers. Be aware that the Rhodesian Ridgeback may try to dominate humans and dogs. Without exercise, this dog may be bored.
Provide extensive and consistent obedience training while the dog is still small. Always socialize this dog with humans and other animals at a young age.
Provide mental and physical activities daily. Jogging or hiking provides good exercise. With a history of hunting, this breed is still a keen hunter and watchdog.
Owners need to provide a house and yard where the pet can divide his time. Treat this dog as a member of the family. This housedog should sleep indoors. Although the Rhodesian Ridgeback is good with children, this breed is too boisterous for small children. Do not allow children to pester. Always supervise. This breed offers some protective ability. Males may be aggressive with other dogs.
No breeders listed at this time.

Today is Earth Day, the day to recognize and support environmental protection around the world. You can show your love for our Earth (and your health) by increasing your consumption of fruits and vegetables.
To eat organic or not to eat organic?
One of the most common questions I'm asked is about organic produce. My first response is always that eating any fruit or vegetable is better than eating NO fruits or vegetables. The health benefits of consuming produce far outweigh the potential side effects of exposure to pesticide contamination.
However, there are recommendations of certain fruits and vegetables to purchase organic.
This list of fruits and vegetables (known as "The Dirty Dozen") are considered to contain the highest levels of containments and pesticides. Although the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has now been controlling the use of toxic pesticides, some foods still test positive for high levels of harmful toxins.
Today, the Environment Working Group (EWG) has released their updated guide for shoppers for 2013.
Consider purchasing organic versions of these foods whenever possible:

Protecting Oceans and Coasts
Healthy Oceans and Coasts for People and Nature
The Challenge
Oceans provide half of the oxygen we breathe, food and livelihoods for millions around the globe, medicines to treat disease and support for our thriving coastal economies. And we look to the oceans to provide even more; new economic opportunities, sustainable seafood, and coastal habitats that reduce our risk from coastal storms and flooding. Balancing these growing demands on ocean sustainably is one of the greatest conservation challenges we face.
Our Approach
Our scientists and policy experts focus on coastal waters where development and use pressures are greatest and where people are most dependent upon the oceans. The Conservancy has fisheries and marine conservation programs around the globe in important seascapes including marine projects in every coastal state and territory of the U.S.
- The Conservancy works with fishermen, industry, governments, and academics to design and implement fisheries management approaches that promote stable supplies of seafood, secure livelihoods for fishing communities and marine conservation.
- We improve the resilience of vulnerable coastal communities by providing tools for hazard managers, engineers, and elected officials to develop long-range plans for coastlines and identify solutions for risk reduction.
- The Conservancy and partners protect and restore corals, mangroves, oyster reefs, seagrasses and other natural habitats that dampen wave energy during storms, support local economies and offer areas for fish and other marine life to thrive.
- And we focus on the need for improved overall governance, policies and management of our oceans at all scales, from individual sites, to regional, national and multinational levels balancing development and conservation needs.
Join us in celebrating all that the oceans provide and the science-based strategies that will help ensure healthy and productive oceans.

I've been reading a number of discussions recently about the ethics of meat eating, which is a subject that I'm sure has been covered on this forum before so I'd like to stick with the specific issue of animal consciousness first and then see where it leads. Daniel Dennett is probably the most famous skeptic with respect to animal consicousness, and he is often invoked in arguments against animal rights, but in fact he's not opposed to animal welfare concerns, he just takes a rational stance against anthropomorphism and wants animal suffering to be put into perspective. He says that consicousness is a benign user illusion that evolved so that we could make judgements about the intentions of others, and the reason we develop our kind of consciousness is because we go through a period of intensive cultural programming in childhood that's largely absent in other species. With respect to animal consciousness though, he concedes the hard problem to dogs (although he wouldn't use that terminology) because in this essay he says that if it is like something to be a dog then it might be rather like being half asleep. If you were half asleep, however, then although some pain would be meaningless, it would still leave the animals in question as subects who have some moral status. My argument is that even if we take a skeptical stance against animal consciousness as Dennett does, then it still matters if the animal is in a gestation crate that prevents movement for years on end, or if they are drowned in a scalding tank. Imagine putting someone under an anaesthetic that almost renders them unconscious, would it in that case be morally justifiable to put their hand into a pot of boiling water? Without knowing whether or not they are capable of suffering, or of experiencing anything at all, I think we are still morally obliged to give them the benefit of the doubt, and this is essentially how I feel about factory farming, which, if they are conscious beings, undeniably involves a life of chronic suffering. Where does anyone stand on this issue, and I'm not just trying to start a fight I'm open minded on this! I'd also be interested if anyone knows anything about Sam Harris's beliefs regarding animal consciouness and wheather or not he's said anything about the treatment of animals in his writing.
