This House Supports Negative Political Advertising
DAN PAWSON '03, moderator
Contemporary political practitioners use issue, image, and negative advertisements to influence voters. An increasing proportion of campaign advertising involves negative or "attack" commercials- targeted information that is negative in either tone or substance. This form of political advertising is controversial and the subject of spirited public discourse. Does it produce a more informed or cynical electorate?
The Claremont Colleges Debate Union is pleased to sponsor critical examination of this issue in a faculty-alumni-student parliamentary debate on the topic This House Supports Negative Political Advertising.
Based loosely on the historic deliberations of the British House of Commons, parliamentary debate is lively, witty, and audience-oriented. In addition to insightful argumentation, humor, passion, and persuasiveness are important elements in parliamentary debating. The debates are usually engaging and entertaining, with cheers, jeers, and clever heckles from the audience as a welcome part of the form.
Mark Blitz is the Fletcher Jones Professor of Political Philosophy and current chair of the government department. Blitz earned his A.B. and Ph.D. from Harvard University. Former associate director for the U.S. Information Agency, Professor Blitz joined CMC's faculty in 1996.
Ryan Nayar is the top senior debater at Claremont McKenna College. He and his partner are ranked in the top ten in the United States. Ryan will represent the Debate Union at the 2001 World Universities Championship, Glasgow University.
Rhonda Carter, a junior at Claremont McKenna College, is an award-winning competitive debater and featured performer in broadcast and public debates and roundtable discussions. She is scheduled to participate in an inaugural series of intercontinental debates via Internet streaming.
Bahrain Seyedin-Noor, Pomona '96 and Harvard Law School '99, is a former member of the Debate Union, currently practicing law in the Bay Area. He was an outstanding intercollegiate competitor, placing third in the national.
The Debate Union, under the direction of John Meany, is the largest and most successful intercollegiate debate program, ranking in the top ten in parliamentary debating in the nation for seven consecutive years, the top ten at the World Universities Championship, and winning national championships and top ten rankings in three additional competitive debate formats.
To Be Completely, Absolutely, and Irreversibly Bilingual
Chilean playwright, novelist, and essayist Ariel Dorfman is called "one of the greatest living Latin American novelists" by Newsweek. His first novel Moros en la costa (published in English as Hard Rain in 1990) came out just as Pinochet came to power and led to Dorfman's exile. Dorfman spent these ten years in Europe and the U.S. writing fiction that addressed the coup in Chile. Among other things, his works tackle the issues surrounding the search for political and cultural identity and reflect his dedication to human rights.
Dorfman's novels include Widows (1983), The Last Song of Manuel Sendero (1986), Mascara (1988), Hard Rain (1990), and Konfidenz (1995). He is also a world-renowned playwright whose play "Death and the Maiden" (1992) won numerous awards and was made into a Roman Polanski film. "Widows" (1983) won a New American Plays Award from the Kennedy Center and "Reader," (1995) another of his plays, received the Roger L. Stevens Award, also from the Kennedy Center.
In 1988 Dorfman published his memoir, Heading South, Looking North: A Bilingual Journey. Here readers can learn of Dorfman's own experience and struggle through the beauty of his own prose. He published a book of poetry entitled Last Waltz in Santiago and Other Poems of Exile and Disappearance (1988), and contributes regularly to The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Nation and The Village Voice. Dorfman's works have been translated into more than 30 languages.
Ariel Dorfman is the Distinguished Research Professor of Literature and Latin American Studies at Duke University. Join us at the Athenaeum for the opportunity to spend an evening with this influential writer.
Music by Johann Sebastian Bach, 1685-1750
ELIZABETH BLUMENSTOCK, violin
ELAINE THORNBURGH, harpsichord
Two hundred and fifty years ago in Leipzig, Germany, a 65-year-old organist and composer, blinded by unsuccessful eye surgery, succumbed to a stroke. Considered by some of his contemporaries to be out-of-date because of his adherence to older musical forms (his son the composer Carl Philip Emanuel Bach nick-named him the "old wig") few would ever have guessed that Johann Sebastian Bach would one day be regarded by many as the greatest composer in the history of western music. To commemorate the anniversary of Bach's death, music groups all over the world are performing his compositions in greater numbers than ever before. In fact, the Los Angeles Times declared that this year will be "the biggest classical music anniversary that any of us will [ever] live to experience."
To ensure that CMC students do not miss out on this landmark occasion the Athenaeum has scheduled two concerts devoted to the works of J.S. Bach. The first of these concerts features pieces for harpsichord and violin with guest artists Elizabeth Blumenstock and Elaine Thornburgh. The Con Gioia Early Music Ensemble will perform at the Athenaeum in February.
Miss Blumenstock is one of America's preeminent Baroque violinists, having played at numerous festivals, both as an ensemble performer with the Boston Early Music Festival Orchestra and as a soloist, as she did at the Mostly Mozart Festival. She has also recorded a number of CDs.
Elaine Thornburgh studied harpsichord and fortepiano with the great Gustav Leonhardt and Malcolm Bilson. Her recordings include a highly praised disk of sonatas by Dornenico Scarlatti. Miss Blumenstock and Thornburgh performed along with Judith Nelson as the Jefferson Chamber Players at the Athenaeum just last year.
Thornburgh and Blumenstock will perform three violin and harpsichord sonatas (No. VI in G Major, No. V in F Minor, and No. II in A Major); the Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue for solo harpsichord; and the d minor partita for solo violin, all written during Bach's chamber music period between 1717 and 1723. These pieces present a great variety of different compositional techniques, all designed to entertain and intrigue both the Bach enthusiast and amateur listener.
The Reagan Legacy
Veteran journalist and Ronald Reagan biographer Lou Cannon will be the first of five speakers in the Fall 2000 series "Freedom, Power, and Persuasion: New Directions in Political Journalism in the 21st Century." The series, sponsored by the Family of Benjamin Z. Gould Center for Humanistic Studies and directed by Professor P. Edward Haley of CMC's Department of Government, will also feature presentations by Richard Reeves, Amy Wilentz, Bob Shacochis, and Paul Duke.
George Will has called Lou Cannon "a reporter's reporter" and "the best guide we have as to how Ronald Reagan became who he is and what he is." The Washington Post's Bob Woodward describes Cannon as "a great reporter [who] knows more about California politics than just about anyone." Cannon, who has forged a long and distinguished career in journalism as a correspondent for the San Jose Mercury, The Sacramento Bee, and The Washington Post, is the author of several books, including Ronnie And Jesse: A Political Odyssey (1969), Reporting: An Inside View (1977), Official Negligence: How Rodney King and the Riots Changed Los Angeles and the LAPD (1998), and President Reagan: The Role of a Lifetime (1991).
Reagan, Cannon asserted in a recent interview, continues to play an important political role in contemporary American politics, especially in this year's presidential campaign. "After Ronald Reagan," remarked Cannon, "the Republicans really never had a leader close to [his] dimension. And you can look them [the GOP candidates] now: Bush's tax plan is like Reagan's, McCain's sense of humor is like Reagan's- but it doesn't all add up to Ronald Reagan . . . they want to find another Ronald Reagan . . . they haven't found him yet."

The Dying Road to a Nation
In 1974 poet, essayist, editor, storyteller, and playwright Cherrie Moraga showed poet Judy Grahn some other poems. After looking at them Grahn advised her "to do what nobody else can do, which is to write exactly from your own voice, the voices you heard growing up." As evident in her works, this is exactly what Cherrie Moraga has done.
Speaking from experience as a Chicano feminist lesbian Moraga has given a voice to issues such as sexism and homophobia in Chicano culture and addressed the urgent need for a feminism of color. As the daughter of a Mexican mother and an Anglo father, she writes about the phenomenon of being treated as "other" in America, even though she is native born.
Her plays "Shadow of a Man" (1988) and "Watsonville: Circle in the Dirt/Some Place Not Here" (1995) both won the Fund for New American Play Award and her play "Heroes and Saints" earned the Pen West Award for Drama in 1992. Her two most recent books include a collection of poems and essays entitled The Last Generation: Prose and Poetry (1993) and a memoir, Waiting in the Wings: Portrait of a Queer Motherhood (1997). Cherrie Moraga received the National Endowment for the Arts Theatre Playwrights Fellowship and is the Artist-in-Residence in the departments of drama and Spanish & Portuguese at Stanford University.
Moraga notes, "No one ever said to me, you should be a writer someday. But I went ahead and did it anyway." Her dedication to Chicano and lesbian issues has shown her to be a writer with an original voice unwilling to sacrifice her identity to fit in with traditional literary norms. As Moraga herself puts it, with technology taking over the world, she is one of the "last generation put on this planet to remember and record." Moraga appears at the Athenaeum as the second part of the series Crossing Borders.
What the People Know: Freedom and the Press
Richard Reeves, syndicated columnist, documentary film producer, and author of eleven books, will be the second in a series of five speakers participating in the series, "Freedom, Power, and Persuasion: New Directions in Political Journalism in the 21st Century."
The series is sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies. Long a fixture in American political journalism, Reeves has garnered many accolades and awards as well as the respect, esteem, and trust of his colleagues and readers. Formerly chief political correspondent for The New York Times, he has for the past 20 years written a twice-weekly syndicated column which appears in more than 160 newspapers across the United States. Among his bestselling books, which continue to engage and enlighten millions, us. American Journey: Traveling with Tocqueville in Search of Democracy in America (1982); The Reagan Detour: A Ford, Not a Lincoln (1975); and President Kennedy: Profile of Power (1993), which was Time magazine's selection as Best Non-Fiction Book of 1993. His career achievement earned him, in 1998, the Carey McWilliams Award of the American Political Science Association for "significant contributions to the understanding of American politics."
Reeves has also made several highly successful ventures into the electronic media, winning all of television's major documentary awards, including an Emmy for "Lights, Camera . . . Politics!" (1980) the Columbia-DuPont Award for "Struggle for Birmingham" (1984), and the prestigious George Foster Peabody Award for "Red Star Over Khyber" (1984). Since 1992 Reeves has taught political science at UCLA and journalism at the Annenberg School for Communication at USC.
Scenes from Shakespeare
It is common knowledge that all-male casts originally performed William Shakespeare's plays. Now the tables have turned, thanks to the internationally recognized Los Angeles Women's Shakespeare Company (LAWSC), a nonprofit organization whose ongoing mission has been "to bring women's voices onto the stage and into the world, and to provide positive role models for women and girls...[and]to continue to create critically acclaimed, award-winning productions that transcend gender and race." Since 1993, they have staged seven major productions including Romeo and Juliet, Othello, Hamlet, Richard III, Measure for Measure, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Much Ado About Nothing. These productions have won international acclaim, and have been featured on CNN and TNN.
Beside their stage productions, LAWSC has instituted an Outreach Program for high school and college-age women, and have made it a point to have girls act alongside adult actresses during their performances. LAWSC also has produced a series of gala evenings featuring some of the most inspiring actresses in Hollywood. Special guests have included such luminaries as Lynn Redgrave, Rue McClanahan, Sharon Gless, Susan Ruttan, Gates McFadden, Linda Hopkins, Denise Crosby and Kathy Bates, all appearing in scenes from Shakespeare with LAWSC's core company members.
Lisa Wolpe, Artistic Director of LAWSC, is on the faculty of Shakespeare & Company, Shakespeare Sedona and Southwick Studios in Boston, and currently teaches at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Eyewitness Misidentification: Psychological Contributions to Understanding, Predicting, and Controlling Eyewitness Error
Why are innocent suspects so often convicted? According to Gary L. Wells, an internationally recognized scholar in scientific psychology, there is increasingly compelling evidence that eyewitness mistakes account for the criminal conviction of more innocent suspects than all other causes combined. To support his claim he points to both the development of forensic DNA technology in the 1990s and psychological experiments since the 1970s. These discoveries suggest that eyewitness testimony is at once highly persuasive to jurors and prone to error. Especially problematic is the influence that criminal investigators can have on the testimony of eyewitness during police lineups. The person who administers a lineup can influence the eyewitness by his reactions, creating false certainty that further strains the relationships between eyewitness accuracy and eyewitness certainty.
Wells's expertise on eyewitness testimony has led to national media attention in newspapers such as The Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Times, and The New York Times. He has made appearances describing his work on CBS's 48 Hours and NBC's Today Show. He is also author of over 100 articles and two books. The prestigious National Science Foundation has funded his research on eyewitness testimony and his findings have been incorporated into both psychology and law textbooks. He has served as an expert in criminal cases throughout the United States and Canada including testimony in the Oklahoma City bombing trial.
Wells received his Ph.D. from Ohio State University in 1977 and currently is Professor of Psychology at Iowa State University. He appears at the Athenaeum as part of the series Psychology and Law.
Note from the Director
In ancient Greece, the word Athenaeum referred to buildings dedicated to Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and in particular to a temple in Athens where poets, philosophers, and orators gathered to read and discuss their work. The Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum is a culmination of the vision of founding trustee Donald McKenna, who wished for a congenial place on campus where students and faculty would have the opportunity to come together to share ideas, debate issues, and build friendships.
It is my wish that the Athenaeum will provide such a place for you and enhance your life at CMC. Every Monday through Thursday during the semester we offer programs chosen to appeal to a broad range of interests. This fall the Athenaeum will host a series of lectures on Freedom, Power, and Persuasion presented by some of the most prominent political journalists of our time. Other themes include Psychology and Law, End of Life Issues, Crossing Borders, Faculty Ideas in Progress, as well as concerts by classical and jazz musicians. You will be entertained by the Capitol Steps and treated to a performance of scenes from plays by Shakespeare.
Each weekday afternoon between 3:00 and 4:30 p.m. you may drop by Parents Library for coffee, tea, juice, and homemade goodies fresh from our kitchen. The Fortnightly will appear in your mailbox every two weeks. I urge you to read it- these are opportunities not to be missed. You may also find Athenaeum news on the Internet www.claremontmckenna.edu/mmca. A buffet dinner is served at 6:00 p.m. By arriving in time for the 5:30 p.m. reception you will have an opportunity to meet the guest speaker, socialize with friends, or chat with your professor. Reservations are required for dinner, but the programs that begin at 6:45 p.m. are open to all.

Donohue Elected President of American Society for Microbiology
CONTACT: Jim Sliwa
WASHINGTON, DC – February 12, 2013 – University of Wisconsin-Madison bacteriology professor Timothy J. Donohue has been elected incoming president of the American Society for Microbiology (ASM). Donohue will take up the post of ASM president-elect on July 1, 2013, followed by a one-year term as ASM president beginning July 1, 2014.
An elected fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology and the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Donohue is an expert on the genetic pathways and networks that microbes use to grow, generate biomass, and harness and convert solar energy. His research goals include using computational models to design microbial machines with increased capacities to generate renewable energy, neutralize toxic compounds and synthesize biodegradable polymers.
In addition to his research and teaching, Donohue directs the U.S. Department of Energy's Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC), as he has since its establishment in 2007. With facilities at UW-Madison and Michigan State University, the GLBRC conducts the basic research driving the development of technologies to convert cellulosic—or non-food—biomass into ethanol and other advanced biofuels. In December 2012, the GLBRC joined the Wisconsin Energy Institute, of which Donohue is now an executive committee member. Donohue is also a past director of a National Institute of General Medical Sciences Predoctoral Biotechnology Training Program at UW-Madison.
With his ASM election, Donohue continues in a long tradition of UW-Madison faculty members who have served in a leadership capacity for the society. He has previously served as a councilor-at-large on the Society's governing body and was chair of its Division on Genetics and Molecular Biology. Donohue has also served on the editorial board of one of ASM's flagship journals, the Journal of Bacteriology.
As president, Donohue will act as the chief officer and official representative of ASM, the oldest and largest single life science membership organization in the world. Founded in 1899, the Washington, DC-based society seeks to advance microbiology as a means to understand life processes for the improvement of global health, environmental and economic well-being. To that end, ASM, which has over 39,000 members, holds meetings and workshops, as well as public information and education programs. With 13 individual journals, the society is also responsible for publishing over 23 percent of all microbiology articles.

Shipped light was faulty but Light and Motion replaced it ... fairly easy.
By far the best helmet light I've used for my needs to "be seen." The design and function are great. Light from helmet gets drivers' attention better than light from bike. I turn it on flash mode even during every daytime ride in traffic...truly helps me be seen even during the day.

Artist sets Everett pioneer's life to music

Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Musician Jason Webley works through a song based on the life of Margaret Rucker Armstrong, about whom Webley is staging a musical show at the Everett Historic Theatre on April 11.
At an April 11 performance at the Historic Everett Theatre, the singer-songwriter and his musical collaborators will bring to life — through song, poetry and pictures — a woman whose name evokes Everett history.
The subject of the show is Margaret Rucker. Its inspiration is a scrapbook about her life that was found in a Dumpster in San Francisco.
Anyone who knows Everett knows the Rucker name. Rucker Avenue, Rucker Hill Park, an historic mansion and a monument at Everett's Evergreen Cemetery all bear the name.
Born in Everett in 1907, Margaret was the daughter of Bethel and Ruby Rucker. The Rucker brothers, Bethel and Wyatt, had come from Ohio with their widowed mother, Jane Rucker. They settled in Everett in 1889, and the brothers acquired land that is now Everett's central business district.
Margaret grew up in Everett. She went to the University of Washington, where she joined Gamma Phi Beta sorority. She wrote poetry that was published in a 1927 book, "University of Washington Poems." She married a Navy man, Lt. Justus Rogers Armstrong. The couple had two sons, and another who died in infancy. They settled in California.
Webley, a graduate of Mariner High School and UW who now lives in Everett, came upon Margaret Rucker's story in an extraordinary way.
He has a friend in San Francisco, "Chicken" John Rinaldi, who owned the Odeon Bar where Webley, now 39, played his first Bay Area show. Rinaldi is a "showman," Webley said, who once ran for San Francisco mayor and was involved in creating the Burning Man festival.
It was Rinaldi, Webley said, who found the scrapbook about 20 years ago. It was filled with photos of Margaret Rucker, along with her poetry, and newspaper clippings about her life. It included her birth certificate and her obituary. Margaret Rucker Armstrong died in 1959 in Riverside, Calif. She was 51.
Several years ago, Webley was in San Francisco visiting Rinaldi when he mentioned living in Everett. When Rinaldi heard that, he told his friend Webley that "there's something I need to show you."
It wasn't the scrapbook, but a slide show of it on Rinaldi's computer. The scrapbook is gone. Webley said Rinaldi had held a "memorial" concert at his bar for the woman in the scrapbook. At the end of that show, people in the audience were allowed to take a poem, picture or clipping. Someone even took the empty scrapbook.
A prolific songwriter, musician and showman himself, Webley on Wednesday picked up his accordion and sang a bit of a song inspired by the scrapbook. "My love left me in springtime, when my heart was young and true ..." he sang in a voice that's unmistakably his, but with a hint of other troubadours, maybe a touch of Tom Waits or Billy Bragg. Webley has described his music as "gypsy punk or folk punk."
There was sadness in Webley's musical preview of the "Margaret" show, just as the scrapbook told of a life that had its tragedies. Those will be revealed in the April 11 performance.
"Her life was so tragic," said David Dilgard, a history specialist at the Everett Public Library, who believes Margaret Rucker Armstrong's sons are deceased. The family lived in California, so Dilgard said it made sense the scrapbook would turn up there.
Dilgard, who has seen the scrapbook slide show, was touched by the pictures and poems. "It's not timeless, exactly. She looks and sounds so much like a person in a particular place and time," Dilgard said. "Margaret died a long time ago. That's what this is all about. Jason comes along, and she is not dead yet."
Rinaldi will be at the Historic Everett Theatre to present the scrapbook slide show. The "Margaret" event will showcase Webley's longtime collaborators Jherek Bischoff and Led to Sea; talent from Everett, including Zac Pennington and Mts. & Tunnels; and some of Webley's favorite songwriters, Eliza Rickman, Lonesome Leash and Shenandoah Davis.
Webley never had a chance to meet Margaret Rucker. And yet he said of her, in an email about tickets to the show, "This will happen only once. I hope you can come. There's someone I'd like you to meet."
Webley set her life to music, he said, because of "just the crazy coincidence and serendipity through which her story rose up from the trash." There is nostalgia in the photographs. And the poetry is "very dark, beautiful stuff," he said.
"There are a few lines that she wrote that really twist your heart up," Webley said. "I don't want to give everything away, but they sort of foreshadowed a lot of darkness that was coming her way."

"Margaret: Music inspired by the life and writings of Margaret Rucker" will be presented at 8 p.m. April 11 at the Historic Everett Theatre, 2911 Colby Ave., Everett. Performers at the all-ages show are: Jason Webley, Shenandoah Davis, Jherek Bischoff, Led to Sea, Eliza Rickman, Zac Pennington, Lonesome Leash, "Chicken" John Rinaldi, and Mts. & Tunnels.

Didn't you do something extremely similar 4-5 months ago?
Thread: Rate Bond no. 9 Fragrances
I'm going to give my personal rating on these Bond no 9 fragrances (based on what I tried).
My standards: 1-5, compared to other niche fragrances. Judged on projection, longevity, originality, versatility and value for what you pay in addition to the overall scent.
Hamptons - 2/5
Chinatown - 3/5
Cooper Square - 3/5
Bleecker Street 3.5/5
Little Italy - 1/5
Coney Island - 2/5
Wall Street - 3.5/5
New Haarlem - 5/5
Chez Bond - 3/5
Riverside Drive - 2.5/5
The main factor in my rating system that seems to be driving it down is value for the overall scent.
How would you rate fragrances from the Bond house. Not just the ones I listed, but all of the ones you tried.
Didn't you do something extremely similar 4-5 months ago?
Hamptons - 1/5
Chinatown - 3/5
Cooper Square - 1/5
Bleecker Street 2/5
Little Italy - 1/5
Coney Island - 4/5
Wall Street - 1/5
New Haarlem - 3/5
Chez Bond - 2/5
Riverside Drive - 2/5
I'm rating these as 1 being offensive, 2 being completely boring, 3 being very average, and 4 being pretty good. There are no Bond fragrances I feel that deserve anything close to a 5.

Chez Bond - 3
Riverside Drive - 2

3. L'Ame Soeur--Divine
4. Violet Blonde--Tom Ford

@dougczar: I love ILNYFME, it's my favorite Bond. Glad to see it's one of the only 5 star frags on your list!
Never tired Bond until today...
New Haarlem 2/5
Did not work at all on my skin. Too much syrup / maple smell and a synthetic note.
I was surprised as I like gourmands (A-men, Rochas Man).
Id like to try other Bonds but they are not available in my city.
I'll have to order some samples.
I also love Chinatown - I think it would be PERFECT on a woman (5/5). I just dont quite have the guts to try to pull this off (yet) in public. Well made fragrance though. Same with Astor Place (5/5), but too feminine for me to try to wear.
Seasonal favorites:
1. Xerjoff - Nio
2. Creed - Aventus
3. Tom Ford - Grey Vetiver
4. The Different Company - De Bachmakov
5. Dior - Homme Sport 2008
6. Montale - Aoud Legacy
7. Creed - Virgin Island Water
8. by Kilian - Straight to Heaven
9. Creed - Original Cologne
10. Clive Christian - 1872 for Men
Boy, do I dislike Bond No. 9. I pulled out my samples to rate these fragrances and I was reminded just how underwhelming their fragrances are (with the exception of Chinatown). Anyway, here we go!
Hamptons - 1/5
Chinatown - 5/5
Cooper Square - 2/5
Bleecker Street - 1/5
Little Italy - 1/5
Coney Island - 2/5 (just noticed that same metallic note featured in Sécrétions Magnifiques)
Wall Street - 3/5 (and spilled this all over myself...good news is, it's better than I remembered!)
New Haarlem - 2/5
Chez Bond - 1/5
Riverside Drive - 3/5
New York Oud - 3/5
I only have some recent experience with two fragrances:
Cooper Square - 2/5 (I own it and have worn it a few times, can't force myself to like it though. It seems like something sharp is attacking my nostrils; trying to sell it off at the moment.)
New Haarlem - 3/5 (I found the maple syrup just overwhelming)

Very hit or miss house with more misses than hits. The best ones from the house, what I'd consider fives, are not listed here, West Side, Silver Factory, Saks For Him, and NY Amber.
I've said it before...I really wanted to like Bond fragrances -they have MONSTER longevity and projection. I tried 10 different ones, and there was always an undertone of some weird chemical...melted plastic and artificial grape? that ruined most of them. The exception is NY Amber which I LOVE and own a full bottle of. It still has that weird smell, but it is hidden mostly by the amber. The only one I didn't smell that chemical with was Wall St., but that just smelled like the underside of my lawn mower so...

You're describing "that Bond smell" that seems to exist in 95% of their juices. It is that odd fruit/musk/floral combination you describe that tends to royally suck.
I'd give Brooklyn a 5/5 even though I wouldn't wear it. The scent isn't for me, but it is outstanding.
I think it's funny when people try to get scientific with their ratings systems. You can't rate art that way. It just doesn't work.
...I wonder how much bang for buck one gets from a Picasso. I'd give that guy a 3/5.
Anybody have a sample of Martin Margiela Untitled or Untitled L'Eau? I'm dying to smell these and I've got lots of great niche samples to swap!
"Follow your nose. It always knows." -- Toucan Sam
I enjoy most of the house
It's funny, people either smell the undertone or they don't. I saw a long thread awhile back where half the people said they smelled that chemical fruit smell, and the rest said they couldn't smell it at all. It is a shame, b/c I like the projection and longevity, and enjoyed some of the basic ideas of the fragrances (minus the chemical)
For Sale: VINTAGE Montales
Oh how everyone's noses are different. Maybe people detect the "base" of Bond and don't mind it or actually like it. I hate powder and if there's even a hint of it the frag is ruined for me, but yet there are many that don't detect powder in certain frags that I do, or they don't mind it or even like it. Who knows.
I, personally, love Bond no 9 and even though it's extremely unpopular to like it, and extremely popular to bash it, so be it.
Hamptons - 1/5
Chinatown - 4/5
Cooper Square - 1/5
Bleecker Street 4.5/5
Little Italy - 4/5
Coney Island - 4.5/5
Wall Street - 2/5
New Haarlem - 5/5
Chez Bond - 3/5
Riverside Drive - 3.5/5
I could rank a lot of others too...but I won't...for now. Fact of the matter is that it's just popular to hate Bond no 9, I think that quite a few people feel like they have to hate them or they feel embarrassed to admit that they might like them. I always hear that Chez Bond is a rip off of GIT, yet GIT will get a 5/5 and Chez Bond will get a 1/5...doesn't make sense if they smell the same...and Chez Bond even lasts about 10 times longer. If you genuinely don't like them...good for you, there's more for those of us who do...if you've just jumped on the "hate Bond" bandwagon because you think it'll make you more popular...I don't know what to say.

From those I have tried:
High Line - 2/5 (too feminine)
New Harlem - 4/5 (nice, but overpriced)
Wallstreet - 3/5 (prefer SJ Unforgivable to this.. better dry down. -- WS smells like "wet dog" in dry down)
Andy Warhol Montauk 2/5 (love the top blueberry note, after that, it's a bore)
Chinatown - 2/5 (too feminine)
Westside - 2/5 (too feminine)
My Ultimate Top 5:
Fahrenheit (1988)
Paul Smith Man (2009)
Burberry London (2006)
Prada Amber pour Homme (2006)
Arpege pour Homme (2005)
Anybody have a sample of Martin Margiela Untitled or Untitled L'Eau? I'm dying to smell these and I've got lots of great niche samples to swap!
"Follow your nose. It always knows." -- Toucan Sam
In my mind:
Riverside Drive: 4.5/5
New Haarlem: 2.5/5
Wall St.: 2/5
I've tried a few other, but they would have been the top 3, impression wise. Riverside Drive is the only one I would ever buy.
WANTED (full or partial bottles)
Divine eau Divine (refillable)
Wearing Brooklyn as my SotD today and I'd have to up my rating from a 4 to a 4.5. This is just the perfect clean, all purpose scent. It's what Voyage d'Hermes should have been (citrus, spice and leather. Brookyln is more Hermes than Hermes' own scent!)
Also, would lower my rating of Harrods Swarovski Oud to 4 stars. Re-sampled this weekend and found it to be a bit flat.

I used to love Bond until I started smelling other niche houses then I started to realize they are charging way to much for what they are producing. The only one I love from them is Chinatown. Bought it for my wife and love it on her. If they were cheaper I'd say Chez Bond, Bleecker Street, Wall Street, Harbor, and I Love NY for him would be the only ones worth looking at. So to stick with the ratings 5 for Chinatown 3 for the others.
Chinatown 5 out of 5, New Haarlem 4.9 out of 5 - the rest don't matter.
I have only tried I Love NY FA and I absolutely do not like it.
New Haarlem, Chez Bond and Riverside drive- 5 The others on the list are four and under IMO.
I've smelled a good number but didn't like them enough to buy.
I own and love:
Eau de New York - 5/5
Bleecker St. - 4/5
Have a sample of Chicago, amazing. I wish they'd make it a part of the regular line.
Bleecker is my favorite.
Washington Square is very good.
Chinatown is GREAT but too feminine for me to wear.
I own
- NY Oud 4/5 - Bond making attar
- Silver Factory 5/5 - the most unique from the line
- Bleecker Street 5/5 - it is like Polo Purple Level which is already discontinued
- Riverside Drive 3/5 - too tame for me
I have sample of
- Wall Street
- Hampton 3/5 - I do not like it
- Chinatown 2/5 too feminine, but 5/5 if I am a lady

One thing we weren't leaving in Wellington was our Mountain Buggy +One. Having kept the original box I managed to get it to fit in again and off we went arriving into the coldest winter in 25 years. More fun than it sounds as Ottawa has easy access to skiing, tobogganing and skating, yes it's just skating not ice skating - similar for ice hockey just being called hockey. The beautiful Rideau canal opened for skating on New Years eve and we've all been attempting to master this 'graceful' activity, unexpectedly the mountain buggy came into its own on the frozen surface, offering Abby and Ella shelter from the -30 deg cold and offering much needed stability to enable safe portage of beaver tails (deep fried pancakes) and hot chocolate."Written by: Wayne and Ingrid

NHL Game Night: 12-21-13 Hurricanes at LightningSubmitted by pete on December 21, 2013 - 22:38
Large kitchen sink eventually crushes Justin Peters.
Ben Bishop allowed 2 goals on 27 shots for the OT win. I'm shocked Carolina even had 27 shots in this one. The game seemed totally slanted, especially during the first 30 minutes. Bishop could've read the paper, had a cup of coffee, smoked a cigarette, broke into Khabi's old stash of Pedialite, and still had time to shoot dice with Chief.
First Period
4:35 CAR Tlusty (5), (Dwyer, Nash)
16:12 TB Hedman (7), (Filppula, Killorn)
Second Period
10:11 CAR Tlusty (6), (Staal, Hainsey)(SH)
Third Period
7:56 TB St Louis (15), (Hedman, Filppula)(PP)
2:16 TB Gudas (2), (Thompson)
Victor Hedman was the game's second star. He has been outstanding since returning from injury. We're 36 games into the season and he's already set a career high with 7 goals. The Lightning are starting to look like they're in good hands with two young d-men like Hedman and Gudas with, hopefully, Koekkoek on the way. For the future, the picture was fuzzy a year ago, but it's looking a lot better right now.
The Lightning did an outstanding job of putting the work in tonight to deny Carolina the 2 points. Carolina played a classic road game getting a lot of timely saves from Peters and then cashing in on their few chances when they came. Against New Jersey, the Lightning fell into the trap of making mistakes trying to open up the offense even more to try to get goals back. Here, against Carolina, they just applied their system with more and more zest. They threw the kitchen sink at Peters, a nice one too. Like, a Toto or a Kohler. Not an American Standard. Vinik buys quality. And, they did it, for the most part, without compromising their defensive structure and eventually the pressure was just too much for the Canes to take.
And now, an aside about the Filppula one-timer goal that was waved off. Folks, the NHL needs to take a look at their replay rules. Right now there's a strict standard where a puck has to clearly be over the line to be counted a goal. However, some sort of allowance for common sense needs to be added to the criteria. Justin Peters gloved Filppula's shot and his glove was clearly inside the net when he did so. However, because the puck was concealed inside the glove, it could not be said in absolute terms whether the puck crossed. But folks, c'mon. If the puck's in the glove and the glove's over the goal line, you don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to deduce the puck is also over the goal line. There was a similar play a few years back where Shanahan concealed a puck under his glove in a game against the Rangers where the goal was also disallowed because you couldn't conclusively say where the puck was under the glove, even though the glove was completely in the net (should've been a PS for a skater covering the puck with a glove in the crease at a minimum, but I digress). The chances of this sort of scenario happening in a Stanley Cup Finals game at a critical juncture are slim, but the chance should make the league sweat a little, and if they're smart they'll create some wiggle room for the Toronto war room on these calls. Mind you, Toronto doubled down on the stupidity by saying the video conclusively proved the puck didn't cross the line tonight (it didn't), but the league office's bias again Tampa Bay (which is real) is a different issue.
6 games into this 10-game segment of the season, the Lightning already have 10 of the minimum 12 points you want out of every 10-game segment. They have a real opportunity to packrat some points in these next 4 games that can help them get through January and into the time when Stamkos returns. This is a big bonus if the Lightning can capitalize on it.
Radko Gudas had the GWG, 4 penalty minutes, 5 shots, 5 hits, and 3 blocked shots in 22:34. He atoned for his mistake on Tlusty's shorthanded goal, where he just made a poor decision to try to cross the ice to hold a puck in leading to a clean breakaway for Tlusty. And, he atoned in classic Radko Gudas style: atomize Jeff Skinner along the boards in his own end to spring a 2-on-1 and then blast a slapper past Peters with extreme velocity. I'm risking committing hockey sacrilege with this statement, but there's something reminiscent of Scott Stevens in how Gudas can change games by physically taking out your best players and his ability to chip in offensively, too.
Tyler Johnson was -1 with 1 shot and he was 31% on draws in 19:08. It wasn't for lack of trying. His line, like every other line on the Lightning, was dangerous all night long.
Alex Killorn had a helper, 3 shots, and 1 hit in 18:00. His north-south game clicks well with Filppula's four-directional game. Very well.
Ondrej Palat was -1 with 3 shots and 2 hits in 16:59. He's so crafty, his secondary nickname (besides Dr. Drej) might need to be Martha Stewart. When he has the puck, working with Marty, it's a good thing.
J.P. Cote had 1 shot, 3 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 9:28. Two of his hits were of the bone-crunching variety and he had no boo boo's in this game that I detected. I'm a little squeamish about the trainers giving him Dan Boyle's #22, but all in all I'll take what the Lightning got out of him tonight. Hopefully they won't have to ask for too much more with Eric Brewer leaving tonight's game in the Second Period with an upper body injury after his arm got wrenched awkwardly.
J.T. Brown had 2 shots and 2 hits in 12:40. His work with Kucherov and Thompson is clicking right now, too.
Nikita Kucherov had 2 shots in 15:01. He gets a breakaway in pretty much every single game and he fails to complete it in every single game. I'm beginning to think he needs to stop and fire from his spot in the high slot. That's where all 3 of his goals have come from so far, after all.
Andrej Sustr had 2 shots and 1 blocked shot in 13:33. There were moments he seemed to have a hard time keeping up with the seemingly endless supply of Staals Carolina has, as well as Skinner, inside of the zone when they were really working his stop-starts hard. That said, he made arguably the biggest shot block of the Third Period to make sure the game got to OT for Gudas' heroics.
Richard Panik was -1 with 1 shot in 9:46. He had 1 or 2 decent shifts with Pyatt, who returned tonight off IR, but honestly the Lightning had 3 lines rolling so well the extra forwards were an afterthought.

NHL Game Night: 12-19-13 Predators at LightningSubmitted by pete on December 19, 2013 - 22:46
Nashville almost got run out of the building.
Anders Lindback allowed 2 goals on 29 shots for the victory. Christmas came early as the Lightning skaters finally gave him some goal support. Ho, ho, ho!
First Period

Third Period
Alex Killorn, Lindback, and Valtteri Filppula were the game's three stars.
The scoreboard and shots on goal say this game was a lot closer than what the eyeball test said. The Lightning dominated territorially throughout this contest and clearly had the bulk of the scoring chances. They had so many opportunities to get a 3 goal lead and turn this into a complete squash that they just couldn't quite cash in. In the future, as they mature, they'll refine their killer instinct and get that last goal they need to put teams away early. As it is, I'm just pleased they put that steaming pile they played for 56 minutes in Long Island behind them and showed a much higher quality effort tonight.
This game marked the halfway point of the 4th 10-game segment of the Lightning's season, and they already have 8 of the minimum 12 points you want in each segment. They've got a really good opportunity to not only hit their target for this segment but also, if they keep the hammer down, to rebuild some of the insurance points they lost in the last segment when they had to burn 3 of the 4 they had earned in the first 20 games of the year. If you're wondering, the Lightning have ~20 games to get through before Steven Stamkos' rumored target to return. So the goal needs to be to continue to stay on target through about 60 games of the season when, after some time to knock off the rust, you hope Stamkos can re-add about 1 goal a game to the offense when he comes back (statistically, that's about what his absence has meant). That could make a good Lightning team a great Lightning team if they can pull it out, because it's like adding a 50-goal scorer at the trade deadline for F-R-E-E!
Radko Gudas was -1 with 4 penalty minutes, 3 shots, 4 hits, and 2 blocked shots in 17:23. As expected, his ice time went down a bit with Hedman back in the lineup. He also had to deal with the frustration of having no star forwards to drive insane tonight because Nashville doesn't have one. Zing!
Tyler Johnson had 1 shot and was 44% on draws in 20:40. His line was crazy active tonight. They did everything but light the lamp offensively.
Killorn had 1 goal and 1 assist and was +2 with 5 shots in 17:56. We can officially declare any slump he was in to be deceased, because he could've easily had another goal and he was nice and active all night long. You could see it coming once he switched back to wing. This is obviously the role he's comfortable in.
Ondrej Palat had 2 shots and 2 hits in 21:37. He's a crafty one, that Ondrej Palat. He'll take your wallet, keys, and your girl if you're not looking. He's sneaky good with and without the puck.
J.T. Brown was -1 with 1 shot and 1 hit in 12:33. He shows good chemistry with old Syracuse linemate Kucherov from time to time.
Nikita Kucherov was +1 with 3 shots on goal in 11:36. He got stopped on a breakaway in this one and was dangerous throughout the game both shooting and passing the puck. His stickhandling skill puts a tremendous amount of pressure on defenders, and will benefit his linemates even more than Kucherov at this level because teams will break down defensively trying to stop Kucherov, which will free up space for other guys. There's two other guys, Drouin and Namestnikov, waiting in the wings who also have that ability. It'll be fun. Trust me.
J.P. Cote had his first NHL point - an assist - and 2 hits in 9:43. He's 31 years old and he got his first NHL point. Nice stuff. He looked pretty poised with the puck on breakouts. Very quick and crisp moving it. He got absolutely torched by Hornqvist on a 1-on-1 play in the First Period, though, and was used very sparingly thereafter. The coaches will be easing him in slowly.
Andrej Sustr had a helper and was +1 with 1 hit in 11:02. He's another guy who should see his ice time reduced a bit with Hedman back.
Richard Panik had a goal and was +2 with 4 shots, 1 hit, and 1 blocked shot in 9:09. He's about as complicated to read as Highlights Magazine. You can tell within the first couple of shifts every night if he's got it, usually, and tonight it was obvious early he was going to do something. He got one deflection goal and nearly had another and popped Hornqvist pretty good at the benches at center ice in the Third Period. Cooper had him on late with Nashville with the 6th attacker out because I think Cooper wanted to try to get Panik another goal to really get him rolling. If he can get back on track, that'd be a big bonus for the Lightning.

Take the money and RUN...
Ben Bishop allowed 2 goals on 34 shots and stopped 2 of 3 in the penalty shot session for the shootout victory. He made a handful of critical saves to keep the Lightning in the same area code, which ultimately made tonight's thievery possible.

TB- Filppula, Kucherov
NYI- Nielsen
Valterri Filppula was the game's first star.
So, yeah, that happened, and I can't stop laughing. The Lightning turned in one of their sloppiest efforts of the season and looked to be dead sunk with under 3 minutes to play down 2-0. They had been outworked half the game. They had been turning over pucks left and right. People were demanding I crucify people in the game write-up. Tar was being boiled and feathers were being plucked, bagged, and brought to the ready. Then Kyle Okposo, bless him, decided to hand a puck to Val Filppula in a prime scoring area to make the game 2-1 with under 3 minutes left, a ridiculous goalmouth scrum with the extra attacker led to the tying goal with under 4 seconds left, and Filppula and Kucherov finished off two nasty dekes in the shootout to steal the points. STEAL THE POINTS! I expected the Nassau County Sherrif's Department to show up at the Lightning bench after Bishop made the last save on Tavares to put the entire Lightning squad in irons and make the team do the collective perp walk all the way to the paddy wagon. Thievery. On nights like this, whoever on Long Island made that deal with the devil to get those 4 Cups has to be wondering was it really worth it to now have to watch an eternity of... this.
4 games into the 4th 10 game segment of the season, the Lightning somehow managed to get halfway to the minimum segment goal of 12 points. If they can pull out another win Thursday against Nashville, they'll be in really good position to meet (and probably exceed) their target for this stretch with Carolina and Florida coming up after that. Heck, after tonight, how can they lose? I'm still laughing at the result.
Radko Gudas was +1 with 2 penalty minutes, 5 shots, 5 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 23:07. Uncredited was a point shot rom Gudas that deflected off the post in the First Period. His hip check on Kyle Okposo, run to the end board with John Tavares, and otherwise snarly game was a page straight out of Dale Carnegie's classic, "How to Win Friends and Influence People," or Radko's own soon-to-be-published masterwork (I know because I'm ghost writing it), "Radko Gudas' Big Book of Making Friends and Influencing People". With Hedman out, Gudas has been matching up against the opposition's best players, and he's been hitting them and harming them on a nightly basis. At this point, I wonder if they might be just as happy to see Hedman possibly coming back Thursday as we are, if only to get a reprieve from the Wrath of Radko (which, coincidentally, is the working title of the film adaptation of "Radko Gudas' Big Book of Making Friends and Influencing People", for which I'm also getting credit as an Executive Producer).
Mark Barberio had 1 shot and 1 blocked shot in 10:55. You know a guy has had a really good game (and I mean that with the most burning sarcasm possible) when people submit requests for me to light the guy on fire verbally... in the Second Period. He was a turnover machine tonight (he wasn't the only one), and he also got caught at least once on a play that led directly to Ben Bishop having to fend off a breakaway. It continues to puzzle me how Barberio's +/- isn't the exact opposite of what it currently is. Is it clean living? Is he secretly Irish? Who knows, but his d-play is almost as big an eyesore as that dump of an arena the Lightning had to play in tonight.
Tyler Johnson had 2 penalty minutes, 5 shots, 2 hits, and he was 44% on draws.
Alex Killorn had 2 shots and 1 hit in 19:12.
Ondrej Palat had 4 shots, 4 hits, and 2 blocked shots in 21:32.
J.T. Brown had a helper and was +1 with 2 shots in 17:37. He got increased IT tonight and was in the middle of the glorious netmouth scrum that led to the tying goal. Points are starting to flow a little.
Matt Taormina was -1 with 1 shot and 1 blocked shot in 12:23. Taormina has one virtue (and only one) on defense: if you come down on him on the rush and try to make a move around him he will hit you and put you on your back (there's your carrot, get ready for the stick). Beyond that, he has next to no redeeming qualities that I can detect in his own third of the ice. He turns the puck over with the same magnanimous generosity as Barberio, which is why I'd expect to see him headed back to Syracuse if Hedman is healthy enough to go on Thursday against Nash-Vegas.
Nikita Kucherov was +1 with 1 shot and 1 hit in 19:32. His move in the shootout, eventually slipping the puck 5-hole on Nabokov, whether you call it a Datsyuk or a Forsberg... filthy. Nasty. Evil. Mean spirited. It's the kind of move that says to a goaltender, "You're bad. You should feel bad. You've been playing the goaltending position your entire life, and the best you could do was still look utterly weak and pathetic and now you're laying prostrate at my feet with the puck behind you and the red light on. And, partly because of that and partly because you look funny and your personality stinks, no one will ever love you." So. Not. Nice.
Andrej Sustr had 3 shots in 15:33. I tell you, if there's one guy who loves Barberio and Taormina, it has to be Sustr. He looks like Larry Robinson in his prime next to those two.
Richard Panik had 3 hits in 10:40. I long for the day he gets a batch of sticks from the manufacturers that doesn't have an awful first touch in every single blade.

NHL Game Night: 12-15-13 Lightning at Red WingsSubmitted by pete on December 15, 2013 - 19:56
Lightning flip the script in Detroit.
Ben Bishop stopped all 28 shots he faced to get the shutout. That there was some more U of Maine Justice!
First Period
Second Period
Third Period
3:13 TB Johnson (8), (St Louis, Palat)
9:16 TB Brown (2), (Thompson)
18:45 TB Killorn (7), (Filppula, Brewer)(EN)
Bishop and Tyler Johnson were the game's first and second stars. In many ways, this was a reversal of the game last night in New Jersey. The Lightning were very patient, got their key saves from Bishop, got their greasy goal, and ended up riding the snowball to a 3-0 win. That's good road hockey, to be certain.
Remember when, going into this season, everyone was saying Detroit was going to eat our lunch in this new division? The Lightning improve to 3-0-0 against Detroit so far this year.
Radko Gudas was +1 with 2 shots, 3 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 23:56. Add Johan Franzen to his list of victims. He hit Franzen and knocked him out of the game in the Second Period. Gudas doesn't care what your resume says you are, to him you're just another target. I think he really sets the tone for the rest of the youngsters on this team. He's not intimidated by the league, and they shouldn't be either.
Mark Barberio was +1 with 2 blocked shots in 9:23. His harrowing moment of the night was when he got stripped by Pavel Datsyuk trying to carry the puck out from behind his net in the Second Period. Like taking candy from a small child.
Johnson had a goal and was +2 with 4 penalty minutes, 3 shots, and he was 23% on draws. He forced the turnover that led to his goal and had his stick on the ice and was in proper position to be the beneficiary of it. Nice play. You make your own luck.
Alex Killorn had a goal and was +1 with 1 shot and 1 blocked shot in 16:33. He was awarded the empty netter when he was hooked on the shot attempt. Even if the call had not been made, Teddy Purcell knocked in the rebound off the end boards. Hopefully that opens the flood gates.
Ondrej Palat had a helper and was +1 with 2 penalty minutes, 1 shot, and 2 hits in 18:46. He made the pass that led to the key goal and had at least one amazing back checking play defensively.
J.T. Brown had the big insurance goal and was +1 with 2 shots, 2 hits, and 1 blocked shot in 13:41. Good things happen when you go to the net. Hopefully that opens the floodgates for J.T., too.
Matt Taormina had 1 shot and 2 blocked shots in 10:21.
Nikita Kucherov was +1 with 2 shots in 13:39. He set up Panik on a ten bell opportunity in the First Period and had a breakaway in the Third Period. He's a dangerous offensive player, needless to say.
Andrej Sustr had 3 shots and 1 hit in 13:24.
Richard Panik had 1 shot and 1 blocked shot in 13:24. That was a pretty good response coming off of the suspension.

NHL Game Night: 12-4-13 Lightning at DevilsSubmitted by pete on December 14, 2013 - 21:54
Typical game against New Jersey.
Anders Lindback allowed 3 goals on 19 shots for the loss. He absolutely deserved better. The goals he allowed were on a breakaway, a tap in from a horrible turnover behind his net, and a rebound after he denied an immortal, Jagr, 1-on-1. He also made multiple breakaway saves to keep the Lightning in the game before the dam finally gave way in the Third Period. I feel bad for him. The Lightning just refuse to give this young man any goal support. It's frustrating.

Tampa Bay outshot the Devils 33-19. It didn't matter. This was a prototypical Devils win and they've been doing this to teams for years. They let Martin Brodeur hold them in games with key saves, wait for you to make a mistake, and then let you press and make more mistakes that they subsequently capitalize on. The Lightning dominated the Devils at 5-on-5, for the most part. It was ultimately irrelevant. If you can't get a lead on these guys, you're in deep trouble. That's the way it's always been. If there's one thing I can say the Lightning need to improve upon, though, it's a ridiculously feckless power play that seemed to nullify any momentum the Lightning built up at even strength. It's really, really bad right now, and the Lightning coaching staff really needs to look at shuffling around their strategy with that unit, because they've been awful for almost the entire time since Stamkos was injured.
Radko Gudas was -1 with 4 shots, 1 hit, and 1 blocked shot in 25:14. He was unfortunate to be on the pairing that made the mistake that led to Brunner's breakaway goal and the game devolving into a typical Devils game. More concerning, he left the ice late in the Third Period with what appeared to be an upper body injury. Hopefully he's good to go tomorrow and moving forward.
Tyler Johnson was -1 with 1 shot, 2 blocked shots, and he was 31% on draws. It was another somewhat lackluster night for his line.
Alex Killorn was -1 in 19:49. He and his line were legitimately dangerous and he hit a post that would've staked the Lightning to the all-important 1-0 lead on New Jersey. He just couldn't finish it off.
Ondrej Palat was -1 with 2 shots and 1 blocked shot in 19:10.
J.T. Brown was -1 with 4 shots and 1 hit in 11:50. He had chances working well on a line with Kucherov, but he's just snake bitten as a finisher right now.
Matt Taormina had a clean sheet in 16:47. He looked pretty solid after getting the vote of confidence being made a top 6 d-man over Barberio for this game.
Nikita Kucherov was -1 with 3 shots in 12:30. I understand the fear of playing Kucherov in a game against a veteran team that plays the style of hockey New Jersey plays. But, Kucherov was the Lightning's most dynamic offensive player tonight. New Jersey struggled mightily to get the puck off Kucherov's stick, and from the moment he set Nate Thompson up for a good chance on his first shift in the First Period to the moment he absolutely dominated the Devils all over the ice en route to setting Brown up on a glorious chance in the Third Period, it was clear he was as dangerous a forward as the Lightning had. In games like these where the Lightning struggle offensively, I'm sorry, he's got to play more.
Andrej Sustr was -1 with 1 blocked shot in 17:27. He had one pretty bad turnover that I detected, but otherwise was quiet, which is good for a rookie d-man against New Jersey.
Pierre-Cedric Labrie played 5:37.

An Abbeville revival
A new city hall and several new businesses are bringing a mini-boom to downtown Abbeville. Yocona in Exile and Abbeville Grill are giving the 450 citizens of the town north of Oxford a place to gather and eat. A $100,000 grant is allowing for a new city hall to be built by May, and in the meantime, city leaders want to continue enticing development. (March 1, 2010, Page 1)

The following directory structures should be supported by NMaven
1. Typical Maven single-module structure, single pom with separate source trees for code and tests.
2. Typical Maven multi-module structure, parent pom with modules, subdirectories for modules, each module containing source and tests as in 1.
3. Visual Studio flat structure with .sln, .csproj and source code all in the same directory. Source code is not typically put in a subdirectory under the module, but it might be. If present, NUnit test code should be in a directory named "Tests", which is not packaged in the main artifact. See note below about "nested" projects. The "flat" structure is only supported as a single project with no sub-modules.
4. Visual Studio multi-module solution with a parent pom containing modules, then a subdirectory for each module, which equates to a VS "project". The .sln file sits beside the parent pom, and each subdirectory contains a .csproj, pom.xml and source code. Source code is not typically put in a subdirectory under the module, but it might be. NUnit test code may be within each module in a directory named "Tests", or it may be in a separate module.
Note: Some versions of NMaven have limited support for a "nested" project-within-project structure with source code in the parent directory. This structure will have a .sln and .vbproj file at the top, then directories for additional modules beneath, each containing a .vbproj file. This structure is NOT RECOMMENDED and unlikely to be fully supported by Maven tools such as the Release plugin.
TODO: ADO .NET project structure
TODO: ASP .NET project structure (may involve links outside the project to web content?)
TODO: Check in some example projects. (http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/sandbox ?)
NOTE: In the examples, .vbproj and .csproj are interchangeable, each structure should work for any language, and a solution may be composed of different modules using different languages.

Mark Medina of the LA Times wrote:The countdown before Lakers training camp remains a little more than a week away.
The countdown before Dwight Howard returns to the court remains another story. The Lakers have already announced the Lakers center will miss at least the Lakers' preseason opener Oct. 7 against Golden State as he rehabs from back surgery. His workouts beginning last week with the Lakers training staff included core stabilization, upper and lower body strength, light running and shooting. He's not expected to participate in training camp beginning Oct. 2. And in his introductory news conference last month, Howard acknowledged he may miss the season opener Oct. 30 against the Dallas Mavericks if it means ensuring his back becomes fully healthy.
Sports Illustrated's Sam Amick reported it's likely Jordan Hill will start at power forward, while Pau Gasol slides at center. But the Lakers' key reserve in Antawn Jamison will likely have an increased role too. For his part, the 37-year-old power forward maintains he's ready.
"That's something I knew coming in that there would be times I'm playing significant amount of minutes or times I'd have a certain role coming off the bench," said Jamison, who's played both as a starter and reserve in his 14-year career. "Fortunately for me, I've been in just about every scenario you can imagine. Whether it's starting for a couple games, keeping my role in coming off the bench ... I will come in and help out this team as much as possible. Whatever is asked of me to do, I'll do it."
The Lakers are already counting on Jamison to boost a bench that finished last season last in the NBA in total offense (20.5 points per game), 20th in shooting percentage (21.8%) and 28th in efficiency (27.2). Meanwhile, Jamison believes he's averaged a stellar 19.5 points per game because he's maximized his longevity through extensive off-season training.
Jamison said he's stayed active since the Miami Heat dispatched the Oklahoma City Thunder in five games of the 2012 NBA Finals. During that time, Jamison said he's gone through daily yoga exercises to enhance his conditioning and flexibility. He's worked with his physical therapist on strengthening his glute and quadriceps muscles as well as his hamstrings to minimize his defensive weaknesses.
"I'm an old man now," Jamison said. "The off-season for me is how I get better. It's how I stay in shape. It's how I prevent injuries. This off-season has been more mental, especially with knowing I was coming here. I'm being focused, paying attention to detail and making sure I'm doing the proper steps to ensure my body can withstand 82 games and a long playoff series."
Still, Jamison said he has a long way to go.
When he's played in informal workouts at the Lakers' practice facility in El Segundo, Jamison said he and various assistant coaches notice his shooting form has been inconsistent.
"All of my misses, I'm leaning forward and aiming it instead of just shooting the ball," Jamison said. "I had a problem with that in the past. I always move left and right. But that's one of the things I've been trying to correct this off-season by going straight up."
Nonetheless, Jamison said he'll immediately correct those issues. After all, his large responsibility leading the Lakers' bench only increased with the strong possibility Howard will sit on the sidelines in the coming weeks.

You can tell while watching a scrimmage why teammates like Antawn Jamison so much. Constantly positive & encouraging.

Jamison is also showing why he's averaged about 20 ppg for his career, hitting the last 2 game winning shots, both triples.

Balance&Options24 wrote:throughout his career I actively rooted for Jamison eventhough he wasn't a Laker. He caught some bad breaks on crappy teams. Out of the many reason I want us winning a title, watching a guy like antwan win his 1st championship is something I want to see. He seems like such a good dude.

Also, Jamison provides another respected locker room leader and another good cop to Kobe's bad cop. We really missed that with the loss of Fish, but Nash and Jamison make up for that.
JSM wrote:Between Trudell video with Jamison and the twitter reports from the scrimmages, this signing just keeps sounding better and better. He's vital to the success of this team as the anchor of our bench -- both on and off the court. It's nice to pickup a veteran for the bench who's tank isn't on E, Jamison can still put up double digit scoring games in his sleep; in fact, if he doesn't average 12 points a contest, I'll be disappointed. With him leading the charge of our second unit, we have one of the best second units in the league, something we haven't had in a long, long time. We don't have the best or deepest -- Clipps, Knicks, Mavs, and Heat also bolstered their secondary and have some serious fire power in that department.

One morning last March, Marge Ardly, 35, a pale, thin housewife with the worn-out look of a new mother, started to leave Fred's department store in the small town of Camden, AR, with a 99-cent tube of lipsticks wrapped in her infant son's white wool hat. The lipstick activated the store's alarm system. "You would never have thought she would shoplift," says a store manager. "She was very presentable. When I asked her to give me her purse to walk through the detector, she gave me everything, she had — …
