Original Santal can be described as both fresh and spicy. It has an incredible cinnamon note in it that is almost piercing yet very alluring.
I want something manly but not to mature (i'm 26) - I smelled Green Irish Tweed and wasn't a fan.
I like the spicey notes of Terre d'Hermess if that helps at all...
I also like the zestyness of CK Euphoria (I know, I know.. don't hate on me please lol)
Any Creed frag's that are warm, woody with some spicey zest?
(edit) - I should also say I'm a fan of orientals. I want something with a not too sweet warm woody base and a spicy & fresh top....

Do you want a Creed so that you can tell people you are wearing a Creed? I wore Euphoria the other day and enjoyed it, but that's about as woody as I can tolerate these days. I stick with what I enjoy.

before you say Creed is "quality".
Yes, there's a certain amount of quality in Creed frags, But its not top notch considering the price. However, some of their frags composition are pretty gud (Royal Water, SMW, MI).

Creed does not have any great Orientals, weird now that I think of it (at least not to my knowledge)
You should try, however, Windsor and Bois de Portugal
Off-Site Decants =) (updated 05/16/12)
I place Acteur right up there with niche frags, though I like Acteur a lot more than any of the niche I've tried. And nothing I've tried of Creed (around 10) is anywhere close to it.

Tom Ford has tons of orientals! My favorites of his would have to be Tobacco Vanille and Tuscan Leather. I also suggest Grey Vetiver

"It's not what you look like when you're doing what you're doing; it's what you're doing when you're doing what you look like you're doing."
You're getting some good suggestions on other houses, so don't ignore those. I like Creeds, but I like those other houses just as much.
Creeds are all going to come off a bit more ornate - but they can be huge compliment-getters when worn right. I was not a big fan of GIT and the other popular millesimes (I'm a TdH guy, like you). HOWEVER, there are some Creeds you should check out if you like warm and woody...
Bois du Portugal - warm, woody, spicy, amber, classy
Epicea - pine, balsamic, fresh, very "natural"
Baie de Genievre - juniper berry, balsamic, very spicy and coniferous
Santal Imperial - OK - it's EXTREMELY subtle, but it's nice, and has an awesome drydown
Original Santal - SUPER-spicy - much more than a typical oriental
Also consider their citrus frags - they are AMAZINGLY good
Bois de Cedrat - basically a sweet lemon frag with a touch of wood that's almost not there - fleeting but awesome
Neroli Sauvage - neroli that will knock people's socks off
..and several others
Windsor is an odd duck - very good, but it's still a male rose which comes off very, very proper.
Good luck!
+1 Original Santal
I would also recommend you try Virgin Island Water, while it's not masculine, nor too spicy, it's a must try that you'll most likely fall in love with.

Great works are performed, not by strength, but by perseverance.
Yes, Original Santal
Warm, woody, spicey = Le Labo Rose 31
Not a Creed, but a damn good scent.
Does it need to be Creed? You're really limiting yourself.
Creed Himalaya. (modern, woody, spicy, with a fresh clean top. Maby this is what you`r looking for)
Creed Acier Aluminium. (masculine, unique, spicy and fruity. Maby too sweet for you)
Creed Tabarome Millesime. (serious stuff.. Warm, deep, ginger tobacco with a fresh top. Extremely elegant)
Why not sample a handful more Creed products as you have GIT? They ain't cheap so I would make sure before the purchase.

These things cannot be long hidden: the Sun, the Moon, the Truth--Buddha
I would probably suggest Bois du Portugal, but you might think it to be too mature.
As to Original Santal, it is quite sweet.
Get samples of anything first though!
Not entirely coresponding to your description... only partially... I'd highly suggest a fresh bottle of Original Vetiver. Your "non mature" (which I take to mean "young") fits O. V. particularly well. Freshness predominates, but it has also some understated depth.
I can empathize with your looking for a Creed in particular. No Amouage (except for Homage) that I sniffed can compare in class, in my humble opinion, and some of them actually smell oversweet and cloying. Lyric Man and Jubilation XXY in particular... I can see the "lyricism" in them (as in Noel Coward's "Extraordinary how potent cheap music is" crack), but the "man" is nowhere to be found (not in a narrow, macho understanding of perfumes... however, these really don't even smell unisex, forget male, people will look at you "what's the matter with this guy" and such). Dia and Ciel smell better to me, sample-worthy but that's all.
Lutens are nice compositions, but beware if you have allergies to strong chemical ingredients. I literally coughed for 11 or 12 hours after a sniff of Fleurs de Citronnier, for example.
For the little that's worth, I encourage you to go the Creed way, provided you find the Creed for you. I took many detours and I've always come home (-:
I agree, give Himalaya a try.
If you want something heavier and very woody, try Bois du Portugal.
Looking for: Creed caps
-I personaly will place most of the male scents from Amouage over Creed by a wide margin.
I love Creed, and it`s my second favourite house, but the quality on Amouage is (IMO) purely and simply better.. In most situations I must spray 6-7 sprays with Creed to get some projecting and longevity. With Amouage it`s enough with 1-2 sprays, and it last all day long! Amouage also have more luxurious vibes than Creed. But both companies are great!
Last edited by Oslo-Fjord; 11th July 2010 at 07:52 PM.
^^^ i have both Jubilation and Lyric Man... and about 15 Creeds.
If you define "quality" by "concentration", then yes Amouage is better. But in my opinion its just too much sometimes. True, one spray of Amouage will last longer than 5 sprays of Creed, but that's doesn't make it higher quality. That means there are a ton more synthetic components in Amouage.
That, and Amouage frags smell like they crammed about 1,000 notes together into one insane power-frag.
It's the simplicity of Creed, its focus on nature-based scents, and yes, natural quality components... that put it above Amouage in terms of quality to me.
but to each his own...
Oslo, you're right, we're on subjective territory here! Thanks for your answer.
I'll also agree that Amouage uses quality ingredients. I am not up to bash the house. (Despite the fact that I have a very low opinion of their customer service, I am not revengeful by nature, as the skeletons in my closet could surely testify, if they could speak). I've actually considered seriously getting Homage, if not for the price. (I would get though Homage in the 3ml version, if it would be available anywhere. It is a really nice fragrance, it smells like very very expensive soap.)
About longevity... even if we disregard attars which are a different category altogether, probably Amouage wins on the average (not if we compare Bois du Portugal with Dia Man, though, to give some extreme example!), but longevity is not a main criterion with me.
By quality I like to refer more to the quality of the experience and of the "accord," rather than to its length. From this point of view, to my subjective nose Creed wins by a mile. (Well, the Creeds which I like, which is to say about half of them all, with a couple I adore.) The "rosy" Amouage Jubilation and Lyric for man border on the unpleasant side for me, in fact, and, while I appreciate Dia's superior subtlety, I could barely like it a bit, while not being attracted by it at all. About Gold: it doesn't only border on unpleasantness.
A great day to you.

OP here:
I'm totally confused now... lol. Perhaps I'll branch out to other houses
Last edited by md1grwl; 11th July 2010 at 08:02 PM.
Perhaps I'll branch out to other houses.
Not a bad idea. Getting acquainted too early with the Creed level of quality tends to spoil all your other experiences, so better delay the moment.
I notice TalkingMuffin and I gave relatively similar answers, same minute (7:56)
Now the question for gold:
Did anybody ever actually see TM and me at the same time and in the same room?
Oslo, IF you know this Xerjoff brand at all... how does it compare to Amouage, how does it compare to Creed in your opinion? Thanks.
OP- just go out and sniff some stuff or buy some samples. Muffin points you to Himalaya which sounds like what you're looking for. Keep poking around in here and reading reviews.
All the frags being discussed here are very high quality.
Addict: The Xerjoff scents are top notch for sure. But I wouldn't get into any debates with anyone about whether it's better quality than everybody else. That feels too much like debating which super hero could beat up other super heroes.
All being disussed here are first rate perfumers.
Last edited by StylinLA; 11th July 2010 at 11:26 PM.
StylinLA, thanks.
I agree about not trying to establish objective truths or pushing them on anybody's throat.
However, I am not shy about thinking that the best of Creed is, to my taste, way more desirable than the Amouages I've tried. (I also accept some may feel differently or exactly the opposite.)
Once this subjectivity is being assumed, please feel free to comment on Xerjoff vs. Creed etc., not so much in terms of which beats the other, but regarding how they compare - iyo - in terms of perception, notes, ingredients, underlying identity etc. If you feel like it, of course. Thanks.
Paco Rabanne XS. Himalaya with balls
Looking for: Andy Tauer - L'air du Desert Morocain & Incense Extreme
Check out my NEW Aussie sale / trade thread here -
If you're looking to acquaint yourself with Creed, and you like Terre D'Hermes, listen to the majority of comments here that said to try Himalaya. The opening is citrus, all fresh and bracing. It then settles down to become spicy, heady and intoxicating. The notes: bergamot, grapefruit, lemon, sandalwood, amber, musk... but top notch ingredients!
I agree with Oslo, 100% .
There's no comparison between Creed and Amouage ( maybe in price ) and Like you Oslo, Creed's my second favorite house behind Amouage.
SAMPLE, SAMPLE, SAMPLE and then make your decision. I suggest you try these from Creed:
Baie de Genièvre
Original Santal
Santal Impérial
- Expect the unexpected
Try Original Santal, but its not too mature.
Non-niche, inexpensive, and exactly what you're looking for. Herrera by Carolina Herrera.
Test out Bois du Portugal, but to be honest try out the line if you do not like the scents that is fine you can look elsewhere. Sometimes a frag line is not for everyone.
The thread is over a year and a half years old. Md1grwl is at least 27 and maybe 28 by now. Has probably long ago made a decision and taken action on it. Probably made several decisions and actions since. Probably doesn't need advice for a first purchase from the house anymore.
That girl, that bottle, that mattress and me.

Airline Miles
I'm planning on talking a trip to Europe later this year. I don't travel a whole lot right now so a miles card was never a thought. Should I pick up a miles card before talking this trip? I found the Amex Delta card has 30,000 points after spending 500. That would knock 300 off the ticket if I flew with delta. Is there any other suggestions? Or should I just stick to what I have and not bother with a miles card?

November 2012
This week has seen floods across many areas of the UK - see the images in the links below. Stepaside School reported high flooding in many areas.
I suspect a few schools will be closed today and perhaps unable to send in their records. I do hope everyone will be safe and dry.
In my garden we had 30mm of rain on Wednesday and I had to rescue a frog who was hopping along a busy road on my way home. Harwell School reported 15mm of rain whilst Rhydypenau school in Cardiff and Balmerino outside Dundee also reported 30mm of rain!

- Scotland - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-20439824
- England - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-20441316
Last week 57 schools sent in their weather records many thanks to you all!
Study the records. If you would like to look-up the weather and see how much rain everyone has been having, follow this link then select the school you would like to study. Please check that your records are displaying correctly and let me know if any problems.
Your questions, my answers:
RAF Benson Primary School: We would like to send our records on a Thursday as it is the evening of our gardening club. Prof.P: No problem, doing it like this, but as the web site is set-up to only allow you to send in a week of weather at a time, you will only be able to upload the weather from the week before. Thanks.
Medlar with Wesham CE Primary School: Why aren't our bulbs growing yet we are impatient. Prof.P: they will be growing - but under the ground. Ask your teacher if you could grow one of your spare bulbs in a clear gel so you can watch the roots growing, but you must be patient. If they grew above the soil now they could be harmed by the winter frost.
Ysgol Porth Y Felin: We are interested by the fact that all the temperatures are nearly the same and it only rained on Monday. Prof.P: My temperatures have been fairly similar too, temperature wise it is very mild at the moment. Test if your thermometer definitely working properly?
Westwood CP School: Cold day on Friday! We had a little shower. That is the 1mm of rainfall. Prof.P: great accurate recording Westwood!
Many thanks
Professor Plant
Weather records are flying in!
Wow! What a fantastic start to this year's weather recording. Forty six schools sent in weather records last week and this weeks are flying in as I type! The project was also mentioned in the South Wales Echo and the Oxford Times.
If you've ever wondered what your bulbs do once they are planted then why not make this mini-origami booklet! The secret undercover life of the bulb. By Prof. Plant. (Colour version) (Fill in the gaps version) (How to do)
Many of you have sent in comments and questions - please see my answers below:
Ysgol Nant Y Coed - "We have had rain this week but not enough to measure. We've enjoyed keeping the records this week" Prof.P: "Thanks for the info and delighted to hear you are enjoying being a scientist!"
St Mary's Catholic Primary School - "Hello, we have had no rain this week". Prof. P: "Hi St Mary's - Welcome to the project - keep up the good work!"
Greyfriars RC Primary School - "Hi we are really enjoying this" Prof.P: "So glad you are enjoying!"
Nether Kellet Primary School - "It has been hard to remember to keep track of the bulb project since it's only our first week. We forgot to cheek on Wednesday so we went on the weather forecast. Do you own the museum we are gathering information for? We really enjoyed collecting the weather information and are 'into' the project now!" Prof.P: "Yes I agree it can be tricky to remember in the beginning, good idea to check with your local forecast when you forget, delighted that you are enjoying it now! I don't own the Museum but I work here so I guess it own me ;-) The Museum is owned by the people of Wales, part of my job is to help people understand and enjoy the weird and wonderful collections we have. I'm very lucky!"
Thorneyholme RC Primary School - "We are enjoying growing and looking after our bulbs.
We love your hair-do and your glasses!!" Prof.P: "Thanks no one has ever complimented me on my hair or glasses before - you've made my day! Glad you're enjoying!"
Ysgol Clocaenog - "Diolch am y bylbiau. Mae hi wedi bod yn wythnos dda i'r bylbiau oherwydd dydi hi ddim wedi bod yn rhy oer ac mae hi wedi bwrw glaw. Athro'r Ardd: Dim problem, dwi'n falch i glywed bod y tywydd yn dda i'r bylbiau".
Medlar with Wesham CE Primary School - "Hi Professor plant. We have not yet watered our plants because it has rained a lot. Prof.P: "Yes that is good, it's important that your bulbs don't get too wet or too dry."
Glyncollen Primary School - "Thank you for the bulbs. We are looking forward to when they grow." Prof.P: "You're welcome! You should start to see some growth after Christmas!"
Ysgol Deganwy - "We have moved our pots to the south side of our mobile classroom against a wall. There has been some building work on the previous north side which meant we couldn't put our pots there." Prof.P: Thanks for letting me know. They should get a lot more sun on the South side too.
Henllys CIW Primary - "Rainfall on Thursday 8 November was 0.5 mm; Rainfall on Friday 9 November was 0.1mm." Prof.P: "Thanks for these details - very accurate recording!"
St Joseph's Primary School (Penarth) - "We were interested to see that the temperature remained the same for Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, even though we thought that it felt colder." Prof.P: "That is interesting; sometimes the wind can make it feel colder. It you have two thermometers you could check if they say the same thing."
Westwood CP School - "Cloudy but dry week apart for some rain on Friday. Temperature are not too bad yet but I'm sure worse is to come!" Prof.P: "Thanks for the update and Welcome to the project again this year!"
Stanford in the Vale Primary School - "Dear Professor Plant. First week of observations...Monday really cold with sharp frosts to the ground...then Thursday warm and sunny blue sky's amazing. No rain has been recorded as we have had no rainfall. Best Wishes. Stanford in the Vale Gardening Club." Prof.P: "Thanks for the observations, a real mixture of weather - keep up the good work!"
Many thanks
Professor Plant
A cold start to this year's investigation!
Today, pupils across the UK have begun keeping weather records for the Spring Bulbs for Schools investigation. Until the end of March they will record temperatures and the amount of rainfall as part of this climate investigation.
It was only just five degrees in my garden in Cardiff this morning. Last year our average temperature for November was 9 degrees Celsius – so it's a lot colder. Parts of the UK even had snow today and are now at risk from flooding when the snow melts! See: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/nov/05/flood-warnings-weekend-rain-snow
Please let me know if you got any snow!
I look forward to seeing the weather records come in on Friday. If you have any questions about recording – please get in touch.
Many thanks
Professor Plant.

1 cup
1 cup
2 cups
all-purpose flour
2 cups
white sugar
1/2 cup
sour cream
1 teaspoon
almond extract
1/2 teaspoon
1 teaspoon
baking soda
1/2 cup
1/4 cup
4 1/2 cups
confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon
almond extract
1 cup
chopped walnuts
Everytime I make this cake for work I go home with an empty pan. However, I prefer to use cream cheese frosting. It goes very well with this cake. 1 package of cream cheese, 1 box of powdered sugar, 1 tbsp. butter and 1/2 tsp. almond extract
Very flat, very terrible, bland, wet, just overall yuk. Before I bake every cake from scratch I always check out the ratings. I am a cake decorator and bake cakes from scratch. Its just too wet and flat to sell to my customers.
If anyone out there has a better recipe please let me know. Thank you.

When I found this recipe I was so excited! I love the chocolate version of Texas sheet cake and this one is just as great! I like to make one chocolate and one white for summer outdoor barbecues. If you've never made a Texas sheet cake before, you will doubt the odd preparation method and probably be concerned that there is no possibility that it will turn out when you see the runny batter, but don't worry!! It will be a moist, tender cake. Also, be SURE to use the 10 x 15 pan, NOT a 9 x 13 or it won't cook properly. It's *supposed* to be flat. I love the warm icing spread over the warm cake, no waiting for anything to cool! It makes a smooth, attractive cake surface too. Anybody I've ever served this to has been impressed by the flavor and moistness even if it's not fancy. But NOT for the timid sweet tooth! It's definitely sweet!
I've introduced my part of the world to Texas Sheet Cake and it was very well-received. Quick to prepare, moist, nice flavor. I've made it with both almond and vanilla extract, both times it went quickly. We did find it way too sweet so the 2nd time around I reduced the sugar in the cake to 1.5 cups and for the frosting used one third cup of butter and a bit less than 4 cups of confectioner's sugar.
First, let's be clear about what this is: It's a white sheet cake. I was reading some complaints about it being flavorless, but white cakes aren't supposed to taste like anything but sugar. If you want something else, try a spice cake. I've also seen complaints that it's falt, but it's a sheet cake. It's supposed to be flat. I'm giving this cake 5 stars because it is excellent at what it is -- a moist white cake and a vehicle for icing.
It's been so long I've been looking for such a cake, not knowing a "white Texas sheet cake" existed. Wonderful the way it is, but I may "play" with different tastes and flavours, depending on the extract used (vanilla, orange, lemon, coconut, whatever). Thanks for sharing such a wonderful recipe.
This cake is a favorite at our house! I have a family that is not so wild about almond, so I make it for them with vanilla extract. I also omit the nuts per my kids' request.
My husband insisted this cake was too sweet. My three year old daughter who usually is a sugarholic like myself, wouldn't touch this cake after the first bite. Personally, I love this cake! But I want to accurately reflect the opinions of my family in this review. What I might do is make this cake again and lessen the sugar content (especially in the icing) and then sneak it to them again.

Editor's Note: This is the fourth of six profiles about the four candidates running for two open seats on Burlington's City Council, and the two candidates running for mayor in Burlington. The profiles are printed daily through Sunday in alphabetical order, beginning with council candidates and ending with mayoral candidates.
Celo Faucette said when he was first elected to Burlington City Council in 2009, he had a "project list." And while he's proud of the influence he's had, especially in North Park and east Burlington, and regarding water and sewer requests that come before council, Faucette said he's not done.
"I have some things I haven't finished doing yet," he said, and hopes he can have another term on council to "move things forward" on his list.
One of the issues that makes that list is bringing medical care to east Burlington, said Faucette, who has always been a champion for the revitalization of the east side of town.
Second on Faucette's list is public transportation for Burlington and neighboring cities.
"I feel like we're going to have to do it, but we've got to have to get all the municipalities involved with it," he said. "It's not fair to have it just in Burlington, when you have overlapping boundaries with Mebane and Haw River, Elon, Gibsonville."
Faucette said the system should be a joint effort because people from neighboring municipalities would end up using the transit, anyway.
"It's not fair to have Burlington's residents pay for it and have other people use it," he said.
Faucette said Burlington has already held meetings and discussions with other nearby towns and cities, and, "That's why it's taking so long."
He said, "Once we get the green light from everybody then we can move forward a little quicker with it than we've been doing."
The other two issues on Faucette's list are more about the city's nuts and bolts.
He wants to see the Rockwood Avenue, O'Neal Street extension project move forward. The city's been seeking funding sources for years, and though the project is "on the books," Faucette said he wants to work with the N.C. Department of Transportation to make the project more of a priority.
"We just have to put the pressure on our representatives to make it happen," he said.
Faucette said the project makes his list because it would ameliorate current traffic problems in the city.
"This would give us a north/south thoroughfare, and eliminate some of the traffic off Webb Avenue," he said. "(Drivers) come in on (N.C. 87) and they come in on Glen Raven Road … and merge right there at CVS."
"The traffic that's coming out of the north side of town is tremendous," said Faucette. "People don't realize that, but it is."
What's under the roads also concerns Faucette.
"We've got some old infrastructure under this city," he said. "We've been having some water (line) breaks here lately," Faucette said, adding, "We've got to be prepared – we've got to put enough money back to make sure we're able to fix these things."
He said Burlington residents shouldn't have to experience breaks in service due to old infrastructure, since they pay their water and sewer bills.
"You pay your city taxes, you want city services," said Faucette.
Name: Celo Faucette
Age: 66
Family: Faucette and his wife of 46 years, Patsy, have one daughter and three grandsons.
Education: Faucette graduated from Jordan Sellars High School in Burlington in 1965, and graduated from the City of Burlington Government Academy in management courses, which he took through LabCorp.
Work: In 1969, he started working at LabCorp, where he held several positions over a long career there. In 2005, Faucette retired, after 36 years with the company.
Political Hero: Faucette said he respected Jack O'Kelly, who was the first black county commissioner in Alamance County in 1972, and lived in the same neighborhood as Faucette when he was a teenager.
Faucette said, "I sort of take my philosophy from him," which was do the most good for the most people.
He said he also admired W.B. "Junior" Teague, who was a former Alamance County commissioner and state representative.
"When I first ran for office, I had a long conversation with him," said Faucette. He said Teague gave him advice he's tried to incorporate as a city councilman: "Help as many people as you can and do the right thing by them."

Emile Henry
The secret to perfect baked goods is that they must be cooked evenly and gently, without drying out. The secret weapon? An earthenware dish, which is crafted to retain temperature and won't develop random hot spots. Designed in a rustic silhouette with a high-gloss glaze and unique, ruffled edge, this two-done dish will also make for a beautiful presentation on your table.
Emile Henry cookware and tableware has been built to perform since 1850. But it's the luscious colors and designs that keep us craving. Crafted in Marcigny, France, from the local Burgundian clay, the dishes are hand-dipped in a rich glaze that resists scratching. Many are based on designs from the French company's archives and have the look and feel of French country pottery from the late 19th century. The ovenware is not only strong enough to withstand the abrupt temperature changes of freezer-to-oven cooking but is also beautiful enough to join the dinner party.

The recent cold spell has kept area aquariums and the sea turtle hospital on
Ten live, cold-stunned juvenile green turtles were found Saturday on the beach south of the Cape Lookout Lighthouse.
According to information from Cape Lookout National Seashore, park volunteers Dallas and Marjorie Spruill rescued the stranded turtles and contacted park officials. Rangers Wade Keeler and Kerby Price responded and carried the turtles back to the park offices on
Dr. Matthew Godfrey, state sea turtle biologist and representative of the N.C. Sea Stranding and Salvage Network, picked up the turtles. The turtles were given an initial assessment by a veterinarian and then transferred to the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and
They join a number of other recent admissions to the hospital from the
Jon Altman, a biologist with Cape Lookout National Seashore, said the strandings are the first they've seen this winter.
"This is the time of year when we get a cold spell and water temperatures drop and any turtles left in inshore waters get hypothermic. They are alive, but they are non-responsive; and their temperatures cool so much they can barely function," he said.
Jean Beasley of the sea turtle hospital said that as of Monday they were caring for 22 turtles due to cold stunning and were expecting another that evening. The new admissions are in addition to the 18 or so patients they already had.
The first cold stunned turtle came in late last month from the
She said there may be others out there and she encourages people to call the stranding network as the turtles may still be alive even if they don't appear to be.
"We ask people to keep an eye out. They may be floating on the water or be very lethargic, and they may be up in the marshes or on the beaches," Beasley said.
Beasley said they aren't in their new building yet and their space is limited but they are doing whatever they can to help.
"We're warming them up gradually, getting them eating and getting them on the road to recovery," she said.

"They are all on antibiotics to stave off pneumonia and other potential infections common in cold- stuns," said Wendy Cluse, the aquarium's conservation and research coordinator, via a news release. "We will continue their antibiotics, as well as provide good food, vitamins, clean water and a warm place to recuperate. Once they are off antibiotics, eating well and appear to be in good health as per our veterinarian, they will be released. That could be as soon as two weeks, but may be much longer."
A few cold-stunned turtles from North Carolina are also recovering at the Pine Knoll Shores aquarium, including a green sea turtle found near Shackleford Banks and another found near Cedar Island.
If the sea turtles recover before local water temperatures moderate, the sea turtles will be taken to the Gulf Stream for release.

One of Bre Armstrong's goals this season was to earn player-of-the-year honors in the Big South 3A Conference.
The Forestview senior got her wish as the league's head coaches handed her the award after a season in which she averaged 18.4 points and 15.9 rebounds.
"I asked her to step up and lead the team, and I think she definitely did that this year," Forestview coach Kevin Gurganus said.
The 5-foot-8 guard/forward led her team not only in scoring and rebounding but also in steals (5.3 per game) and assists (4.3). Armstrong also led Forestview to a runner-up finish during the Big South regular season and later to the Big South tournament title. The tournament championship was Forestview's seventh straight and eighth in the Big South's 12 years.
"A lot of it is her drive," Gurganus said. "She wants to be the best. She wants to be the best player. She wanted us to have the best team. At times, she would will us to win. She did some things this year where she would bring us back."
Armstrong had 18 points and 22 rebounds in the first-round state playoff loss to Enka before leaving with a Grade 3 ankle sprain with about two minutes left in the third quarter.
Armstrong late in the season committed to Lander University of the NCAA Division II Peach Belt Conference. Lander is located in Greenwood, S.C.
The award was voted on by the league's head coaches after the regular season and before the conference tournament.
Ashbrook's Juan Smith was voted Big South coach of the year by his peers after leading the Green Wave to a fourth-place finish in the league.
Ashbrook also led the 13-player all-tournament team with three selections (Alexis Wallace, Brooke Moore and Logan Carter). Four schools, including regular-season champion Crest, placed two each on the team.
Crest's honorees were 2012 player of the year A'Diyah Ussery and Caleia Jones. South Point (Ashley Mull, Haley Stewart), Forestview (Armstrong, Lauren Smith) and North Gaston (Kendal Cloninger, Janay Polk) were the other teams with two selections.

|Introduction | Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4 lens performance | Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4 versus competition | Conclusion
For many people an introduction to photography is through a compact camera: usually, these days, one with a zoom lens covering medium-wide through to short telephoto. The next step is often an SLR and the "standard" zoom, covering the same range. The quality of this "standard" zoom can be the difference between great results and disappointment, so the choice is important. This Sigma 17-70 f2.8-70 f2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM C Canon is both good and versatile, no disappointment here.
The Sigma 17-70 f2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM C Canon is a "standard" zoom lens for APS-C cameras, in this case Canon. It is also available for Nikon and Sigma APS-C bodies. It covers the range 17mm to 70mm, the relative focal length for full frame 35mm would be 27.2mm to 112mm. This type of lens is aimed at photographers looking for a single, all purpose lens that will at the same time be compact enough to carry around. This particular lens is also equipped with a Macro setting allowing focussing down to 22cm giving a reproduction ratio of 1:2.9.
The design is of 16 elements in 14 groups, two of the elements are FLD (with characteristics similar to flourite glass) and one is SLD (Special Low Dispersion glass). It is optimised for use with digital capture, as one would expect for an APS-C lens and is equipped with optical stabilisation (OS), a hyper-sonic motor (HSM) for autofocus and a 7 bladed iris giving a round aperture. The diameter is 79mm, the length 82mm and the weight is 470g Sigma has recently introduced categories for its lenses, A for Art lenses, S for Sport lenses and C for Contemporary lenses.
This 17-70 is the first offering in the Contemporary category, the design characteristics of which are 'Superior optical performance and compactness". The construction of the lens includes "Thermally Stable Composite" (TSC) material for increased durability and reduction in weight. Sigma does not explain exactly what this material is but it has the benefits of polycarbonate components, but avoids their thermal expansion.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
To website
The Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM is a premium fast 'normal' zoom for APS-C SLRs, which is designed as an upgrade for photographers who have outgrown the 'kit' zooms typically supplied with camera bodies. It was announced at Photokina 2012, as the first lens in Sigma's new 'Contemporary' category of compact general-purpose zooms for everyday photography. It's a successor to a near identically-named lens from December 2009, the Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro OS HSM, but is smaller and lighter, uses revised optics, and has a new cosmetic design. Prior to this Sigma made the unstabilised 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC, a lens which was very highly regarded in its time.

Regarding three versions of Sigma 17-70
I'm a Nikon user, and got my Sigma 17-70/2.8-4.5 (first version) when bought my D300.
I was really happy and amazed of how sharp could be that lens, and even I got the Nikon 16-85 VR only to sell it some time later because I liked way more the microcontrast and clarity of the Sigma.
Then the 17-70 OS version showed up, and being so happy with the first version I bought this OS one. But I was shocked because results weren't so good. Tried three copies, and below 35-50 mm field curvature was really a problem even at f/8: focus on the center and get blurried sides, focus on sides and get blurried center. It was so heavy that I almost couldn't believe it, but I was seeing it... A couple of years ago I could test a new sample from a friend that didn't show that field curvature (???), but anyway results weren't that good, my old 2.8-4.5 was still better on corners closing at f/5.6 than the OS at f/8.
And now here comes this C version, and again I'm quite excited about it. Well, not that much now, because when comparing measurements of the three versions at 17 and 24 mm I can see that the first one still delivers sharp corners, but not so the OS nad C versions.
Can wait for real samples, but I have liked to see something different at the wide end in the corners.

Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX), Chairman of the Joint Economic Committee, today cited the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report that the economy added 162,000 nonfarm payroll jobs and 161,000 private sector jobs in July as further proof that the administration's current economic policies are not working.
The BLS also reported an unemployment rate of 7.4% during July. "The primary reason for this month's decline in the unemployment rate was a decline in labor force participation—a disturbing trend. Had the labor force participation rate not declined since President Obama took office, the unemployment rate would be 10.6%, not 7.4%," Brady observed.
"Our biggest challenge," Brady said, "is that a smaller percentage of adult Americans are working today than when the recession ended four years ago. This news will be difficult to tell the American people."
"This report together with the first estimate of second quarter gross domestic product (GDP) coming in below 2% on Wednesday shows a recovery that's still on life support. The President claims to want a strong middle class. I agree with him. But since taking office only two million more Americans have found a job while 15 ½ million have gone on food stamps. Putting seven people on food stamps for every person that finds job isn't the way to strengthen the middle class. Until the President comes down from the White House and begins to work with Congress, our economy will continue the trend of subpar growth and the jobs will still be missing."

Let's say I fire a bus through space at (almost) the speed of light. If I'm inside the bus (sitting on the back seat) and I run up the aisle of the bus will I in fact be traveling faster than the speed of light? Relative to earth that I just took off from.
Your question has to do with addition of velocities in special relativity. For objects moving at low speeds, your intuition is correct: say the bus move at speed $v$ relative to earth, and you run at speed $u$ on the bus, then the combined speed is simply $u+v$.
But, when objects start to move fast, this is not quite the way things work. The reason is that time measurements start depending on the observer as well, so the way you measure time is just a bit different from the way it is measured on the bus, or on earth. Taking this into account, your speed compared to the earth will be $\frac{u+v}{1+ uv/c^2}$. where $c$ is the speed of light. This formula is derived from special relativity.
Some comments on this formula provide direct answer to your question:
I'd recommend Wheeler and Taylor's "Spacetime Physics" to read about this. Unlike the reputation of the subject it is actually pretty intuitive (I learned that formula in high school).
No. Relative to Earth your bus will have (almost) zero length, so moving from back to the front of the bus will contribute nothing to your speed relative to Earth.
I will have to answer this quickly, for I suspect this question will be closed. However, this thought experiment is similar to what Einstein thought about 10 years before he published his paper on special relativity. The problem is this. If you were on a reference frame moving at the speed of light you would observe that light, or any electromagnetic wave, as a wave of oscillating electric and magnetic fields. However, this would be stationary, which contradicts the Maxwell equations for the propagation of electromagnetic radiation. Einstein worked to fix this contradiction, which lead to special relativity. The conclusion is that you can't place yourself on a frame where light is observed to have any velocity other than the speed of light $c~\simeq~300,000km/sec$.
Assume that your bus is approaching the speed of light, because if it had reached it, its mass would be infinite and the question becomes metaphysical as far as the contents and passengers.
Generally, momentum conservation insures that the bus would drop back from the speed it has to compensate for your momentum,as long as you are airborn but when you hit the front glass, it will gain it back.

Income tax is a primary source of revenue for governments around the world. In most jurisdictions, the amount of income tax owed is calculated by applying marginal tax rates to taxable income, i.e. gross income reduced by allowable deductions.
The U.S. Internal Revenue Code (IRC) defines the income tax responsibilities of both individuals and corporations. Although personal and corporate taxpayers are encouraged to actively manage their tax liabilities, the burden of complying with tax law falls on taxpayers. Tax fraud and the willful evasion of income tax responsibilities can result in both civil and criminal penalties.
There are several things that individuals and corporations should do to comply with income tax requirements and more effectively manage their tax liabilities:
- Accurate Recordkeeping – Accurate financial recordkeeping is the basis of an effective income tax strategy. From the implementation of a robust accounting system to the routine documentation of receipts and expenses, the ability to maintain accurate financial records is critical for individuals, small businesses and large corporations.
- Regular Tax Planning – Periodic tax planning can significantly reduce your overall tax liability, especially if it is performed before the end of the tax year. In many cases, experienced tax consultants can recommend strategies to reduce taxable income and minimize income tax liability.
- Timely Income Tax Filing – The Internal Revenue Code describes filing requirements for income tax returns and forms. Failure to adhere to these deadlines can result in fines and penalties, so it's important to make sure that required forms are completed accurately and submitted to federal or state tax authorities in a timely manner.

Did Nicola Alderisio and wife stay in US or return to Italy?
Someone gave me a copy(Not detailed) of the census from 1930 Bronx NY
Pasquale married to Elisia Alderisio with children: Fanny, Lena, George, Ida, Gloria, James, William.
Pasquale became a citizen in 1905 in Cuyahoga County Ohio.
Died on 30 Nov. 1934 in Bronx New York
Don't know if this helps or not but my grandmother's name was Efisia Maroldi (Efisia to Elisia to Grace all the same person! and I've had her last name spelled to me Maroldi to Maraldi to Maradla!) I apologize for the mess!!!
The story I got was that the Maroldi's were originally from nothern Italy but her father was in Garibaldi's army and they moved to Sicily. That may be where she was born because someone told me the spelling of her name was Sicilian.
I have Efisia's birthdate as 1880-1881
Did people get married in Italy and remarried in US?
Could my Aunt Fanny have been born in Italy even though the census says she was born in US.
Thank you for ALL your help. I GREATLY appreciate the time it takes.
I keep hoping that if I can get his immigration correct, I will have better luck in Colle Sannita.

VIDEO: Agencies embrace mobile app explosion
Monday - 4/9/2012, 9:46am EDT
The development of mobile applications is swiftly expanding within the federal government. When the General Services Administration launched its app store two years ago, the website offered 15 apps. Today, there are well over 100 available for download, said Jacob Parcell, manager of mobile applications at GSA.
These apps offer a wide range of services, from the National Archives' app DocsTeach that offers classroom activities for teachers, to the SaferBus app from the Department of Transportation that allows users to view a bus company's performance record. GSA showcased some of these apps at last week's FOSE Conference in Washington.
"I think the key for agencies is sticking with their mission instead of figuring out how the mobile user would use their information and what are the best formats," Parcell said.
The trend in recent years has been more collaboration on mobile apps both across departments within agencies and across agencies in the government, he said. GSA hosts a wiki on best practices for developing mobile apps.
Agencies are "noticing the mobile citizen is more and more prevalent in the world and in the United States," Parcell said.
Tapping into a mobile user market
IRS2Go helps taxpayers get tips and their refund status.
"To be honest, we thought it would be something cool. We weren't sure if there would be a market," said Mike Silvia, director of the Portal Business Management Division at IRS.
It turns out, there was a market for mobile tax information. The app has been downloaded more than 400,000 times, and taxpayers have used the app for nearly 1 million transactions this year, Silvia said.
IRS now wants to develop different versions of the app — such as one for tax professionals and versions in different languages, he said.
The app requires the user to input their social security number, filing status and refund amount. The team of three who developed the app were able to compare data used for other apps and show that more people were using mobile apps for more "transactional" uses, said Beth Krappweis, usability specialist with IRS.
Niche app on the cheap
Neither of the two employees who developed the Release Mako app at the National Marine Fisheries Service are computer programmers.
"We just know enough to be dangerous," said Peter Cooper, a fishery management specialist with the agency.
Cooper and his colleague George Silva, an economist, wanted to find a way to help stop the overfishing of the North Atlantic shortfin mako shark. They came up with the idea of a "brag board" where fishermen could post online where they caught and released a mako shark.
This "brag board" already existed on the agency's website. Silva used Google App Inventor to create the mobile version of the website, using Google Maps as the centerpiece of the app. Now fishermen at sea can immediately type in information about the shark into their smartphones — without having to write down the information and then go online later to report the information.
The app takes advantage of GPS technology, as well as email queuing — useful if a fisherman is outside of cell service. Fishermen can also upload photos of the shark they have released.
Silva said it took him about two weeks to develop the app, but it took about two months to get agency approval to release the app. The app was one of the first for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the first one for the National Marine Fisheries Service, which is part of NOAA.
"We were basically blazing the trail to determine how an app would go through the process of questions of IT security, questions of does it need legal clearance, are there liabilities associated with it, how do we get an account with the Google [Apps] Marketplace," Silva said
The app went live last summer before the heavy fishing season. Since then, it has been downloaded about 600 times.
Developing the app cost virtually nothing to the agency — aside from the $25 processing fee for Google's Apps Marketplace.
"We have a very niche app, so we really couldn't spend an enormous amount of money developing it," Silva said. "Using a rapid development tool like [Google's] App Inventor was critical in getting a niche product like this out the door."

Grounding Problems
Sometimes, especially in older homes, wiring can become loose, melt or may have been installed incorrectly. For example, you or a previous owner may have tried to repair your electrical wiring when it would have been preferable to have a professional do the job.
You have a grounding problem if you open the outlet panel and a black (hot) wire is touching a:
- white (neutral) wire
- bare copper wire
- different black wire
- outlet box
If you are inspecting your home's wiring, it's important to also check for any damaged or melted wires. Note if you smell any burning odors close to the outlet box.

When I saw the moose head and portrait of Jesus hanging over the bidder's window, I knew I was going to like this place.
I also knew I was strictly a looky-loo, because I'd been careful to leave my wallet at home.
See, I know how to resist temptation. That's why I punch the accelerator every time I drive past a Krispy Kreme doughnut shop.
And also why I avoid places like South Coast Auction. Except today, when I've left my credit cards behind.
Sure enough, wandering South Coast's acres of warehouses in Santa Ana, it wasn't long before I found 798 things I desperately needed to make my life complete, including a 300-bottle wine cooler and solid oak antique ice chest from Alaska.
There's not one crevasse in my house big enough for a refrigerator-size ice chest, and, these days, it's hard to get ice vendors to deliver the big blocks to my street.
But that didn't stop me from yearning for its beautiful, useless magnificence. My friend, Ana, who was there to take pictures, was no use at all. "You could use it to keep books in," she claimed, wanting me to buy it. I just rolled my eyes at her.
Such is the evil spell they weave at this giant barn of perdition. Even though auctioneer Jim Russell told me he's a Christian – to the point that he won't sell religious items – this is surely one of the Gates of Hell.
I can't exactly remember what the Gates of Hell are, since it's been 40 years since I was forced to memorize the Bible in Sunday school, but it probably involves being tempted to covet something. And I covet everything here.
Walking around the jam-packed warehouse as the theatrical production known as the Wednesday night auction gets under way, I mentally make a survey of my tiny house and imagine where exactly I can put that hand-carved dining room set for eight.
Maybe if my son sleeps on the living room couch, it will fit in his bedroom.
Auction meister Billy Humphries – who started this place in 1977 and owns it with his wife, Robin, and partner Les Taylor – estimated he has sold many millions of dollars of items over the years, ranging in price from $1 to $55,000.
People from all over bring their stuff each week to consign it to be auctioned Wednesday night. The auction house takes a 30 percent commission and the original owners get a check for the rest by Friday.
Buyers from all over the Southwest, ranging from antique dealers to newlyweds looking to furnish an apartment, pack the aisles in front of the auction block, watching the show as each item is auctioned off in two minutes or less.
Regulars know they can expect to pay 10 percent to 30 percent of an item's retail value here.
