What are diabetes problems?
Too much glucose in the blood for a long time can cause diabetes problems. This high blood glucose, also called blood sugar, can damage many parts of the body, such as the heart, blood vessels, eyes, and kidneys. Heart and blood vessel disease can lead to heart attacks and strokes, the leading causes of death for people with diabetes. You can do a lot to prevent or slow down diabetes problems.
This booklet is about heart and blood vessel problems caused by diabetes. You will learn the things you can do each day and during each year to stay healthy and prevent diabetes problems.
What should I do each day to stay healthy with diabetes?
|Follow the healthy eating plan that you and your doctor or dietitian have worked out.
|Be active a total of 30 minutes most days. Ask your doctor what activities are best for you.
|Take your medicines as directed.
|Check your blood glucose every day. Each time you check your blood glucose, write the number in your record book.
|Check your feet every day for cuts, blisters, sores, swelling, redness, or sore toenails.
|Brush and floss your teeth every day.
|Control your blood pressure and cholesterol.
|Don't smoke.
What do my heart and blood vessels do?
Your heart and blood vessels make up your circulatory* system. Your heart is a muscle that pumps blood through your body. Your heart pumps blood carrying oxygen to large blood vessels, called arteries, and small blood vessels, called capillaries. Other blood vessels, called veins, carry blood back to the heart.
*Go to the "Pronunciation Guide" for tips on how to say the words in bold type.
What can I do to prevent heart disease and stroke?
You can do a lot to prevent heart disease and stroke.
Keep your blood glucose under control. You can see if your blood glucose is under control by having an A1C test at least twice a year. The A1C test tells you your average blood glucose for the past 2 to 3 months. The target for most people with diabetes is below 7. In some people with heart disease or other special circumstances, their doctor may recommend slightly higher levels of A1C.
Keep your blood pressure under control. Have it checked at every doctor visit. The target for most people with diabetes is below 140/80, unless their doctor sets a different target.
Keep your cholesterol under control. Have it checked at least once a year. The targets for most people with diabetes are
- LDL—bad—cholesterol: below 100
- HDL—good—cholesterol: above 40 in men and above 50 in women
- triglycerides—another type of fat in the blood: below 150
Make sure the foods you eat are "heart-healthy." Include foods high in fiber, such as oat bran, oatmeal, whole-grain breads and cereals, fruits, and vegetables. Cut back on foods high in saturated fat or cholesterol, such as meats, butter, dairy products with fat, eggs, shortening, lard, and foods with palm oil or coconut oil. Limit foods with trans fat, such as snack foods and commercial baked goods.
If you smoke, quit. Your doctor can tell you about ways to help you quit smoking.
Ask your doctor whether you should take an aspirin every day. Studies have shown that taking a low dose of aspirin every day can help reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke.
Take your medicines as directed.
How do my blood vessels get clogged?
Several things, including having diabetes, can make your blood cholesterol level too high. Cholesterol is a substance that is made by the body and used for many important functions. Cholesterol is also found in some food derived from animals. When cholesterol is too high, the insides of large blood vessels become narrowed or clogged. This problem is called atherosclerosis.
Narrowed and clogged blood vessels make it harder for enough blood to get to all parts of your body. This condition can cause problems.
What can happen when blood vessels are clogged?
When blood vessels become narrowed and clogged, you can have serious health problems:
Chest pain, also called angina. When you have angina, you feel pain in your chest, arms, shoulders, or back. You may feel the pain more when your heart beats faster, such as when you exercise. The pain may go away when you rest. You also may sweat a lot and feel very weak. If you do not get treatment, chest pain may happen more often. If diabetes has damaged your heart nerves, you may not feel the chest pain. If you have chest pain with activity, contact your doctor.
Heart attack. A heart attack happens when a blood vessel in or near your heart becomes blocked. Then your heart muscle can't get enough blood. When an area of your heart muscle stops working, your heart becomes weaker. During a heart attack, you may have chest pain along with nausea, indigestion, extreme weakness, and sweating. Or you may have no symptoms at all. If you have chest pain that persists, call 911. Delay in getting treatment may make a heart attack worse.
Stroke. A stroke can happen when the blood supply to your brain is blocked. Then your brain can be damaged. See "What are the warning signs of a stroke?" for more information about strokes.
What are the warning signs of a heart attack?
You may have one or more of the following warning signs:
chest pain or discomfort
pain or discomfort in your arms, back, jaw, or neck
indigestion or stomach pain
shortness of breath
Or, you may have no warning signs at all. Warning signs may come and go. If you have any of these warning signs, call 911 right away. Getting prompt treatment can reduce damage to the heart.
How do narrowed blood vessels cause high blood pressure?
Narrowed blood vessels leave a smaller opening for blood to flow through. Having narrowed blood vessels is like turning on a garden hose and holding your thumb over the opening. The smaller opening makes the water shoot out with more pressure. In the same way, narrowed blood vessels lead to high blood pressure. Other factors, such as kidney problems and being overweight, also can lead to high blood pressure.
Many people with diabetes also have high blood pressure. If you have heart, eye, or kidney problems from diabetes, high blood pressure can make them worse.
You will see your blood pressure written with two numbers separated by a slash. For example, your reading might be 120/70, said as "120 over 70." For most people with diabetes, the target is to keep the first number below 140 and the second number below 80, unless their doctor sets a different target.
If you have high blood pressure, ask your doctor how to lower it. Your doctor may ask you to take blood pressure medicine every day. Some types of blood pressure medicine can also help keep your kidneys healthy.
You may also be able to control your blood pressure by
eating more fruits and vegetables
eating less salt and high-sodium foods
losing weight if you need to
being physically active
not smoking
limiting alcoholic drinks
What are the warning signs of a stroke?
A stroke happens when part of your brain is not getting enough blood and stops working. Depending on the part of the brain that is damaged, a stroke can cause
sudden weakness or numbness of your face, arm, or leg on one side of your body
sudden confusion, trouble talking, or trouble understanding
sudden dizziness, loss of balance, or trouble walking
sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes or sudden double vision
sudden severe headache
Sometimes, one or more of these warning signs may happen and then disappear. You might be having a "mini-stroke," also called a TIA or a transient ischemic attack. If you have any of these warning signs, call 911 right away. Getting care for a TIA may reduce or prevent a stroke. Getting prompt treatment for a stroke can reduce the damage to the brain and improve chances for recovery.
How can clogged blood vessels hurt my legs and feet?
Peripheral arterial disease, also called PAD, can happen when the openings in your blood vessels become narrow and your legs and feet don't get enough blood. You may feel pain in your legs when you walk or exercise. Some people also have numbness or tingling in their feet or legs or have sores that heal slowly.
What can I do to prevent or control PAD?
Don't smoke.
Keep blood glucose and blood pressure under control.
Keep blood fats close to normal.
Be physically active.
Ask your doctor if you should take aspirin every day.
You also may need surgery to treat PAD.

Diffusion of Radical Innovation: Assessing and Estimating Value of Innovations Assessing a firm's innovation portfolio is a challenge? Even more difficult is estimating its future value? This paper applies the principles of the Bass model of diffusion of innovation \citep{Bass:1969} to the estimation of forward citations, ``class-match" dampened forward citations, and the newly introduced Patent Rank Scores. The cumulative diffusion will be modeled using a generalized logistic function known as the Richards' curve \citep{Richards:1959}. To estimate the parameters of the the model, the Newton-Raphson method is used. Over 22,000 randomly selected patents from 1976--2008 will be individually modeled, and diffusion patterns will be classified based on the parameters of the model. Valuation of innovation can be objectively assessed, and future valuation can be predicted based on each innovation's specific diffusion pattern.
Patent Rank: An Objective Measure of Radical Innovation Patent data is publicly available, serves as a instrument for doing patent-level and firm-level analysis for both private and public firms, and amidst the modern information age, may be the only way to secure intellectual property. Patent counts or forward-citation counts have been traditionally used to measure the innovation portfolio of a firm. Using network analysis, a variation of Google's PageRank algorithm is introduced to the patent citation network to define an objective measure for radical innovation -- ``Patent Rank". Two model types are considered: simple structure and technology ``class-match" using two temporal forms: cumulative network and five-year moving window. All utility patents from 1976--2009 will be analyzed; over 5.6 million patents and 40 million citations are evaluated to produce 332 million Patent Rank scores. Useful distributional properties are considered and these objective scores are compared to a recent subjective survey performed by PBS to assess the question: What are the most radical innovations of the modern era?
Entrepreneurial Innovation My interests in marketing strategy are related to entrepreneurs, entrepreneurial startups, and their perceptions. Specifically, how do they make sense of the information they perceive in the market place and how do these perceptions influence their marketing strategies for their entrepreneurial ideas.
Revisiting Value Creation and Value Appropriation: An Entreprenurial Perspective An application of the Patent Rank Score will be used to validate the concept of economic development and firm value. Specifically, it will be shown that the Patent Rank Score will provide improved explanatory power over previous measures of radical innovation and firm performance. \citet{Mizik:2003} described the importance of strategic emphasis and value creation/appropriation on firm performance. In the analysis, firms were grouped into low-, stable-, and high- technology groups. In the first analysis, the firms are objectively grouped based on Patent Rank Scores. Further analysis will model firm performance based on stock returns and strategic emphasis \citep{Mizik:2003}. Mediation of innovation using Patent Rank Scores will also be considered.
Patent Data There has been a call for 'new' patent data (Kortum - see Tellis et al. 2009). I believe that I can contribute to the field of marketing strategy by improving the data available, and describing its potential uses. The new data source allows for large and rich information regarding patents that can be used in many types of strategic analyses. The most recent run of these data consisted of 73 IT firms in the S&P 500. Collecting data from January 1996 to June 2009 provides over 192,000 patents with information about forward/backward citations, classification matches, and more. The programming process to run this list took nearly 36 hours as it had to analyze over 3 million patents to create the informative dataset. This is my definition of new data, and the process is continuous and ongoing: (1) All Patent Data has been harvest (8 million patents); (2) Parsed Data is currently being stored in database format; (3) Firm boundary issues [IBM, Internation Business Machines, mergers, misspellings, etc.]; (4) with an intent to do new modeling research on the patent data: (a) Diffusion of Radical Innovations (patents); (b) Patent Rank (e.g., Page Rank applied to patent network of citations) - structural and weighted ranks (e.g., classification matching); (c) EIQ; (d) Race to the Patent Office; (e) Patent Pending

Men's Tennis Suffers Loss at No. 28 Mount Olive
April 5, 2014
MOUNT OLIVE, NC – The Pfeiffer men's tennis team (12-4, 5-3 CC) saw its four-game winning streak come to an end with a tough 8-1 loss at Mount Olive (13-1, 7-0 CC) on Saturday afternoon. Mount Olive came into the contest ranked No. 28 in the nation and ran their winning streak to 10 straight.
Pfeiffer's lone win of the day came in first singles as the team of Loic Minery and Sebastian Wernecke bested Mount Olive's top pair of Edgar Bub and Rik Wolthuis by a final score of 8-6. Doubles play would end with the Trojans taking second doubles 8-1 and third doubles 8-6.
The Trojans swept through singles competition without a blemish. Axel Woerner was the only Falcon to win a set before falling 6-3, 3-6 and 6-1.
Pfeiffer returns to action next Saturday in their regular season finale when they travel to Central, SC to take on Southern Wesleyan at 1 p.m.

Posted 11 October 2012 - 03:56 PM
Help please! I am not trained in CSS or PHP, but I am a quick learner and good at figuring things out-- just a heads up about my skill level . I really need help so I hope I can express the problem well enough (you've already helped me several times recently, so thanks in advance for your patience!). Here is my issue:
I have a plugin called CiviCRM. This plugin is designed to be a "constituent relationship management" system with a database at the back end, so it has front facing forms and pages for donations, events, fund raising campaigns, etc. All data captured flows through to the self-hosted database (same host as WP install) that can be mined for all kinds of useful reports. It's very cool but not well-developed yet for WP-- it was originally developed for Drupal and only recently available as a WP plugin.
Problem: The content from CiviCRM is all messed up (I have "fixed" at least one CiviCRM page using the custom CSS area in the Pagelines dash, but I can't create new styling for every page I create, take a look: , my regular site global styling looks like this: ). What I really need is a new template so I can place the CiviCRM content on a page with a plain white background, no header, no footer, no other sections. Ideally, I would be able to assign a special template set up for CiviCRM just like any other template. Is that possible? Can I create a special "plain vanilla" page template to hold CiviCRM content? How do I do this?
BTW: CiviCRM pages are created by dropping in short code for the content. You just click the CiviCRM icon located above the editing window (next to the "add media" icon), select the appropriate content that you already created in CiviCRM from a drop-down menu (donation form, CiviCRM event page, registration page, new member page, etc.) and the content is added via short code to the page. Just like many other plugins work.
Thank you!

Ideally, I would be able to assign a special template set up for CiviCRM just like any other template. Is that possible? Can I create a special "plain vanilla" page template to hold CiviCRM content? How do I do this?
Yes, you can use a different template (Template 1, Template 2, or Template 3) and set that up in Drag & Drop by deactivating the sections you don't want in the page template areas. You can add CiviCRM to a page that uses that template.
Posted 11 October 2012 - 05:11 PM
Can I add certain styling to just that template? Can I do it like this in the Custom CSS area: #template 1 .body {background-color:#ffffff;}or how? I really need the background removed and I need other styling to be overridden in the template. The problem is that I have set background colors, etc. in the site options, globally. Can I override those for just one template?

But that's just for the page. I need to do it for a template. Can I specify a template somehow in the css custom code?
Posted 11 October 2012 - 06:17 PM
Posted 11 October 2012 - 06:29 PM
Posted 11 October 2012 - 06:42 PM
Note that I have specified "template-id-4" not a page ID. The problem with doing it page by page is that everytime I create an event, a form, a campaign, etc. I would need to add custom code for that page. Cumbersome. Seems like there should be a way to do this for a range of pages, like with a template...
Posted 11 October 2012 - 06:55 PM
Posted 11 October 2012 - 06:58 PM
There is no class for specifically Template 4. page-template is there, but that covers all regular pages.
Posted 11 October 2012 - 07:05 PM
page-template-page-alpha-php is actually template | 1
page-template-page-alpha-php => template 1
page-template-page-beta-php => template 2
page-template-page-delta-php => template 3
page-template-page-epsilon-php => template 4
page-template-page-gamma-php => template 5
Posted 11 October 2012 - 07:24 PM
I can now set the page template to Template 4 for any new page I create and it will have the white background and any other special css that I create. I couldn't do it before because I didn't know how you specified the template, now I know: body.page-template-page-delta-php Thank you, Catrina!

Probably, i cant count especially in latin!
Thanks to you too Simon. This solves so many issues for me! Actually, though, doesn't it go like this, alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon for templates 1,2,3 and 4 respectively? (you have alpha, beta, delta, gamma, epsilon .

I don't think I've ever made a New Year's resolution. Even if I did, I likely didn't have much success sticking with any of them, so I just don't bother with them anymore. Usually resolutions involve quickly-forgotten rules about eating better, losing weight, and saving money. (Which is probably why I never make them in the first place.) So I wouldn't place any bets that I'm going to stick with doing any of those three things this year, I'm happy to report that for those of you with more will-power than I, this Potato Leek Soup falls neatly into all three categories.
I kind of have a funny relationship to soup. If I'm going to eat soup, I eat it as a main course for lunch or dinner, not before. And since for me, soup is a meal, I like thick soups. I'm not a fan of slurping up thin broth from a vessel. If I wanted to lap up watery liquid from a receptacle, I'd slip a collar around my neck and get down on all-fours for my supper. No thank you. (Well, at least not at dinnertime.)
So where do I start with this one?

Ikebukuro, Tokyo. Mikado Ryugamine is a young man who yearns for the city like no other. At the invitation of his childhood friend, Masaomi Kida, he leaves his hometown and enters Raira Academy in Ikebukuro. Masaomi warns Mikado about the mysterious organization of unknown origin known as the "Dollars" and some dangerous people in Ikebukuro to watch out for. In particular: the brawling champion Shizuo Heiwajima and hobbyist information broker Izaya Orihara.
On his first day out in the city, Mikado, remembering another of Masaomi's stories, sees a jet-black motorcycle being driven by the fabled "Headless Rider." From then on, a series of random attacks and events begins to occur on the streets of Ikebukuro, and a group known as the Yellow Scarves arises as Ikebukuro begins to crumble!

I wasn't sure how much I would like this magazine, but once I got it, I loved it. It has great pairing suggestions for wine!
Since I do know how to cook this book is amazing. Love the pictures and different types of recipes. Must have!!
Food & Wine magazine is an excellent magazine.
I love the wine information in Food & Wine magazine. The food recipes look great, however, not any I would use. A little too involved for my cooking expertise.
Food & Wine magazine is beautiful both visually and educationally. If you want to learn about wines and wonderful meal pairings this is the magazine for you. This is not a read once and toss out publication.
i was supposed to get a year of foodandwine for buying a panasonic microwave. i went to www.foodandwine.com/panasonic11 to fill out for the subscripition. it says there is no such thing. please respond.
I look forward to receiving Food and Wine every month. This magazine features a great variety of high quality recipes and techniques.
I have always enjoyed Food & Wine magazine. I love to eat and drink and I love to cook. Therefore, I enjoy trying many of the recipes from the magazine, with many recipes that I will cut out and keep close by in my favorites. Food & Wine also offers a recipe book every year to subscribers that covers all of the recipes and wine tips that were included in all of the magazines -- therefore, recycle all those magazines at the end of the year because everything is bound in one book. The recipes vary in difficulty as well as number of ingredients. Expect some recipes to be very easy with few ingredients or everyday ingredients and others more complex with a trip to the store to fulfill the grocery list needed to prepare. Usually, a wine is suggested with each dish which is nice if you like to entertain and want a nice match between food and wine. All of the articles are based upon food, wine or travel (which relates to food and/or wine) and are all very interesting. Would highly recommend to anyone that loves to cook and enjoys many types of foods.
Food & Wine magazine is a good magazine to sit and read over a cup of tea.
I love Food & Wine magazine; I would not trade it for any other food and wine magazine out there.

Food and Wine Magazine Subscription Video Review
I'm Beth, a food and drink blogger based in Nashville, TN and I'm always looking for new and exciting things in the culinary world. That's why I created my blog, Eat. Drink. Smile., and that's why I love my Food & Wine magazine subscription.
As much as I enjoy traveling, I don't have a huge bank account or an unlimited number of vacation days, so I'm forced to get creative. Food & Wine magazine is definitely an escape from reality for me, a way to travel to exotic lands without actually leaving home.
When my new copy arrives in the mail each month, I can spend hours absorbed in the pages, devouring it from cover to cover, transported to another world. One minute I'm at a backyard party in Russia, the next picking grapes off the vines in Italy, and then barefoot on a beach enjoying the day's fresh catch.
While this particular magazine might not be my first source for every day home cooking, it definitely has a place in my life. When I'm feeling adventurous and up for a challenge, I enjoy picking out a creative ethnic recipe from the pages of Food & Wine and giving it a go. Whether it's an unusual ingredient I need to hunt for, or just a new method of preparation I've never attempted, it's always a fun learning experience.
In addition to all of the interesting food articles and features, I find that I spend just as much, if not more time reading over the wine and spirits sections. Food & Wine is where I learned how to clean my glassware properly and how to read a restaurant's wine list to get the best bang for my buck.
Year after year I continue to renew my subscription to Food & Wine, because this magazine adds a little adventure to my life. It has broadened my views of the world and has taught me things about other cultures that I may never have the chance to experience firsthand. I love discovering interesting places around the globe and emerging culinary trends, and no one does a better job of finding those for me than Food & Wine!
If you love food and cooking then I definitely suggest checking out the current Food & Wine subscription offers going on at Magazines.com. And if you want to hear about all of my adventures, discoveries, inspirations and recipes, along with a touch of anything else that makes my days a little brighter be sure to stop by my blog at www.eat-drink-smile.com or reach out and say hi to me on Twitter @betheats!

(...and Dior is pretty awesome...but of course I'll always be partial to my dear L'Artisan, Guerlain and Chanel...)
Thread: The BEST Fragrance House
If you had to pick just 1 design house that you were allowed fragrances from, what would it be?
Personally I would have to say Givenchy because the diversity and originality of this brand is unique in my eyes.
Really a case of something for everyone I think
(...and Dior is pretty awesome...but of course I'll always be partial to my dear L'Artisan, Guerlain and Chanel...)
Probably L'Artisan.
"You can ignore reality, but you can't ignore the consequences of ignoring reality." - Ayn Rand
"I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical...It is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government." - Thomas Jefferson
Guerlain [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
To me it's
Their portfolio is fantastic: I love Bvlgari pour homme (these days also the Extreme version!), BLV and Aqva and find BLV Notte and Black very good as well! *
Guerlain is easily the best house.
Of course Guerlain is the best house, but L'Artisan has a wider range of fragances I would wear, which I think is the point of the question.
"It is the mark of a brave man to admit defeat, cut his loss and move on." - David Ogilvy
My choice is Kenzo. I`ve got all his fragrances unless Time for Peace *
L'Artisan just skins it over Serge Lutens for me. 8-)
[s]...and L'Artisan, Serge Lutens, Frederic Malle, Caron.[/s]
Caron, indeed!
When I wear one of their creations, I feel alive. When I smell one of their creations on a woman, I feel transcendent.
Obviously, that genius house of Thierry Mugler just barely edges out Creed.
Why else would I say that I'm a Mugler maniac?
"It always seems impossible until it's done." -Nelson Mandela
My mission statement: "I am not afraid to keep on living - I am not afraid to walk this world alone."
For me it is a three way tie. There is no way I can decide between L'Artisan, Comme des Garcons, and Creed. All three of these are great houses and produce scents I could not live without.
Yves Saint Laurent!!!!!!!! 8-)I can't believe nobody sad this before!!!! ;D
Lutens has the most scents I absolutely adore lately, but I'm partial to Guerlain and L'Artisan for their versatility.
Niche: L'Artisan, followed closely by CDG
Designer: YSL, followed closely by Gucci
L'Artisan, Caron, Lutens, Comme des Garcons
I suppose I really don't have a favorite "per se"
but I am quickly becoming a CDG fan. So unique and out there yet still appealing.
They have some really good smell goods too, my likes are:
CDG 2 man
Wood Coffee
I think I agree MrB. I am not so interested in the range but more in the fact that my absolute favourite is still Monsieur de Givenchy and I couldn't live without that....I currently own three bottles just in case...Originally Posted by MrBen
Creed edges out L'Artisan
Designer: Givenchy
Niche: Lorenzo Villoresi :-*
If I had to pick one, YSL, but usually I go for the frag not name of the designer.
In rotation: Greenbriar (new), Silver Mountain Water, Dunhill for Men (1934), Acqua di Parma Colonia, Habit Rouge EDC, Ho Hang, B*Men, Agua Brava
Niche: CREED
Designer: Hugo Boss. A versatile little line when you think about it. Del Mar, Baldessarini, Boss Bottled, Boss Soul, Hugo, Dark Blue, The one that's a ball...A good mix of heavies and lights. You could cover all your needs and seasons.
Ralph Lauren. Polo (Fall, winter), Blue (spring, summer), Black (spring, summer), Sport (summer, fall), Purple Label (Romantic), Silver (casual), Romance (clean), Safari (accountant), a very good mix as well.
Current faves: Aventus, Green Irish Tweed, MFK Masculin Pluriel, Dior Homme Eau
CREED. All are unique and well made, even the ones I don't overly care for.
Trumpers has fantastic classic scents, as does the late great Crown Perfumery.
Originally Posted by Octothorpe
Agreed! (but I would consider following YSL with Guerlain.)
My answer to this has been formed by recently starting to read THE EMPEROR OF SCENT. The tidbits of info Ive gotten even while looking through it have really enlightened me.
I read with great interest the about indifference and maybe even contempt for the mens fragrance segment that apparently most big perfume makers held and hold. After all they are creating ART to glorify the female, not a scent to sweeten the male. I guess deodorants are for that. But since there is money to make, they throw SOME money towards the mens segment.
So for my pick as the best fragrance house I am going to say ESTEE LAUDER.
Well how they most have loved Estee. Here was a woman making a name for herself with sheer force of will and some homemade cosmetics and then she drops her bombshell, ARAMIS. I understand that there is a book written entirely about this subject (it seems to be out of print) chronicling the top secret goings on behind the formulation and launch of ARAMIS and the rivalry with Charles Revson, founder of REVLON.
Lauder and her musketeer fragrance revolutionized male perfumery. And Lauder continues to innovate. The release of Beyond Paradise for Men proves it. Imagine, an aquatic scent that actually smells wet! No one else has achieved it.
I also think Creed, Chanel, and Guerlain rank right up there. Not simply because of the range of scent they continue to provide to the male population, but also in their conviction NOT to dumb down their products and to cheapen their ingredients.
"Ca sent les pieds!"
The undisputed answer steming from my preferences has to be:
1. Creed
2. Comme des Garcons
3. Hermes
vote for
Lorenzo Villoresi, no doubt!
Caron. And I love Ormonde Jayne.
If I have to pick just one, it's Geo. F. Trumper.
Designer: Yves Saint-Laurent, because of their huge range of ubique scents with an abundance of character
Niche: Creed, you instantly notice the quality and also - with most of them - the striking Creed signature base notes
On this subject I think it is your nose that decide
Personnaly I adore what Fragonard does - I undrestand it - and I feel that I could wear all scents.
I do like their other products too.
I do like the house phylosophie etcccccc.....
I think I you feel that the house creations are made for you - this could be your favorite house.
Invisible Power
In this order:
Diptyque, Caron, L'Artisan, Guerlain, Creed, MPG.
But Diptique number one.
That girl, that bottle, that mattress and me.
Yves Saint Laurent for me, honies...
Designer - D&G or Chanel
Niche - Creed
chanel and l'artisan
Traveller, there is no path. You make the path as you walk. -- A. Machado
I've yet to find a Creed scent I didn't like on some level. And several of their scents, I just flat out love and couldn't do without...like GIT and SMW. There's just something about the Creed house scent that I adore. Granted, I'm still fairly new to the scent game, but I've been catching up as quickly as my budget will allow, and so far nothing has impressed me as much overall as Creed.
On top of my list has to be Chanel, they don't make mistakes.
Then it is Yves Saint Laurent.
Lastly, Calvin Klein. Or do they have Puig to work for them?
I have to agree with YSL. 5-10 years from now it might be Thierry Mugler but I can't really judge a house based on only 2 (similar) male fragrances and a really bizarre unisex fragrance.
They are about quality, not quanity.
Chanel takes risks. Each of their male fragrances has been different from the previous.
Chanel is exclusive. They don't feel the need to put out a new mens fragrance every year.
The last time this question was asked, I voted for Chanel. However, lately I've grown tired of them.
Today I'd vote for Geir Ness, albeit it only has one male fragrance.
My 2nd choice would be Dolce & Gabbana. It has a scent for every occassion and the only one I'm neutral on is Masculine.
Top 5: MPG Santal Noble, Gendarme, Knize Ten, Jaipur Homme, Le Male
teflondog's Reviews
Had they not discontinued Havana, it would have been Aramis for me (they don't do mediocre scents). Havana, JHL, Tuscany, Life, 1965 Aramis - all brilliant, distinct fragrances. Not an extensive line, but full of winners.
However, if I had to stick with just one, it would be RL. But they also discontinued their best offering, Polo Crest.
Andrius Uzkalnis
I'd have to say Bond No.9. Their fragrances have a decidedly fresh feeling and are very unique. I particularily like the Bleecker Street on my honey. He actually smells eatably good!
for design house
1) armani
2) bulgari and dior
3) dolce gabbana

In almost 50 years of fragrances for men, Chanel has hardly produced a single "dud" fragrance. And all of the following probably deserve to be called classics: Pour Monsieur, Anteaus, Egoiste, Egoiste Platinum. They may not be to everyone's taste, but they sure ain't duds. People tend to forget how adventurous Chanel is as a fragrance house (as you say, Chanel takes risks). Fragrances like Anteaus and Egoiste were far from mainstream when released.
A year or so ago when this question was put on Basenotes, I answered MPG. Unfortunately, I've had a loss of feeling for some - but not all - of the MPG fragrances I own. Still love my Chanels, though.
i think GUCCI and THIERRY MUGLER for men and GUERLAIN,DIOR,GIVENCHY,for women
With regard to Creed I am like Will Rogers,I never met a creed I didn't like.
Designer wise the big A,Armamis/Lauder.
Guerlain is my favourite house - love so many of their scents (Mitsouko, Vol de Nuit, Shalimar I must have around at all times...) but there is at least one Caron that I won't be able to live without (Parfum Sacre) and their originality and artistry is superb. I am sure if I had enough access to their line (as opposed to only about 5 scents available here), I would go bananas over Caron too. For now I am just addicted to Parfum Sacre...
I also love Tabac Blond and Nuit de Noel and En Avion, and have a bottle of The Third Man that I got unsniffed (on the way) for my boyfriend (sshhh, don't tell him!)
Ayala Moriel, Perfumer
Ayala Moriel Parfums http://www.ayalamoriel.com/

Current top 5:
1. MDCI Chypre Palatin
2. Guerlain Arsene Lupin (Dandy)
3. Roja Dove Enigma Parfum Pour Homme
4. Roja Dove Vetiver Extrait
5. Guerlain Heritage (any formulation)
Decants for swap: http://www.basenotes.net/threads/403...mples-for-Swap
Lots of yummy fragrances from lots of different houses ...
But the one house that has produced more brilliant innovations and more true classics for -both- sexes ...
One for consideration that I didn't see anybody mention, that I grow more fondly of with each new bottle I get: D'Orsay. I just picked up Arome 3 this week, and though it took a couple of wearings to fully appreciate, it's one heck of a classic scent. Le Dandy is an all-time favorite of many, but there's also Etiquette Blue, Arome 3 Tradition, Chevalier, Nomade, and Tilleul. Three of these were made before 1950, two before 1920. They're very classy and distinctive scents, as well as very well crafted.
The Bark Bites Back on film here --> https://thebarkbitesback.wordpress.com
For me it's a tie. L'artisan and CDG.
I'm with Marlen on this one. Caron is just so...interesting. Definitely not a house that is afraid to wade out of the mainstream and experiment. Guerlain and Creed would be runner-ups for me, I suppose.Originally Posted by scenteur7
Creed for its quality
L'Artisan for its innovation
CDG for its avant garde eccentricity
Chanel, the best designer house!
Shiseido, makes high quality fragrance for a few designer brand as well.

Three Blind Mice and Other Stories
Three Blind Mice and Other Stories (Paperback)
Ablinding snowstormand a homicidal maniactraps a small party of friends in an isolated estate. Out of this deceptively simple setup, Agatha Christie fashioned one of her most ingenious puzzlers, which in turn would provide the basis for The Mousetrap, the longest-running play in history.
From this classic title novella to the deliciously clever gems on its tail (solved to perfection by Hercule Poirot and Miss Jane Marple), this rare collection of murder most foul showcases Christie at her inventive best, proving her reputation as "the champion deceiver of our time" (New York Times).
About the Author
Agatha Christie is the most widely published author of all time and in any language, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. Her books have sold over a billion copies in English and another billion in one hundred foreign countries. She is the author of eighty novels and short-story collections, nineteen plays, and six novels under the name Mary Westmacott. She died in 1976.
Praise for Three Blind Mice and Other Stories…
"Agatha Christie set the bar. As I write, it's one I gaze upon from below with admiration, longing, and very occasionally a glimmer of recognition."
-Katherine Hall Page, Agatha award-winning author of the Faith Fairchild Mysteries

Very specific and precise laws such as the cosmological constant and the Fibonacci sequence have been discovered and proven which govern science, math and biology within our universe.
All scientists would agree that there is an order and a pattern to our universe.
So what about a moral code? What are it's laws? Where can we find them?
It seems that they are written inside the DNA of all of us along with an inherent guilt for violating them.
How is it then, that the moral laws are the only laws in our universe that can be violated?
Does it seem like an obvious conclusion to anyone else that there was a grand designer of this very ordered universe?
If so, would this designer have allowed this violation of the moral code to happen for some reason?
But why? If only there was a message from this omnipotent Designer - explaining how these violations happen and if there is a solution to all the destruction and guilt from these moral violations which are universally felt throughout the human race.
(Don't hate - Just trying to think outside the proverbial box.)

Jason Van Over
Freeman lake, in e-town. although Brandenburg is my fav e-town is argueably the most challenging course in our area along with CV.
Yeah, I like the pic, too! Makes that shot look REAL DANGEROUS. I hope that disc flattened out, Jeremy. Kudos on the message board in general. Your an awesome contributor, and appreciated.
Yes very nice work Jeremy, you do some quality work....
that is arguably one of the sweetest and most beautiful shots in the area for sure!! I remember the time I slipped off the end of the tee pad and did a face plant into the water, funny now, not so funny at the time. ..
etown definitely makes you bring your D game... speaking of distance... is there ever going to be a clinic held? i am tired of throwing 375 max.. I want more D.... any tips would help..
Yeah...it's a beat Roc. I had a drop in BIRDIE.
Come to the Meade/Olin Ice Bowl and I'll give you a couple distance tips that will add 50 feet FAST. Maybe I can plan something more formal for the OCP Ice Bowl.
Oh...and thanx for the "ataboy"!
"...a glass can only spill what it contains..."
375ft is plenty O D for anyone just concentrate on speed control thats the ticket. If you can put a disc were you want it from 350 thats all that is really needed to become an excellent driver and a world class pro...of course putting is a nice thing to be able to do too.
Well I can get 375 but not consistantly and its definitely max on certain occassions (tail wind) .... I can get 250-300 accurately (thank you oh great teebird)... after that is kind of a shot in the dark for me...of course I realize with distance you are going to sacrifice some accuracy...
I use to throw a ce teebird for D and then a TL which will act more like a distance driver than the T. But back then all that we had to chose from was a leopard,teebird,firebird, & a valkyrie. the valkyrie would go further but not near as consistently accurate as the teebird. Anyway the teebird is a good accurate driver "the best if you ask me" but there are other drivers out now that will go alot further and almost as accurate. Have you tried a pro wraith?
or a sidewinder? A beast is good to.
you know it went in the lake . just kidding coll pic though even though we got to look at your butt.
I thought you'd like that Mickey!?!
If anyone has some good panoramic pics like that I would gladly work with them. Just send them to me at firstname.lastname@example.com. If I can find a way to use them I will.

Howdy, y'all! Wow, after the absolutely
Hey, I knew you'd see it my way!
Anyhoo, I was walking down the sidewalk the other day (or was I walking 'up' the sidewalk? Here in flat ol' Houston, Texas, I can never tell...) when I noticed the sign you see here.
Now, I realize the trend over the last few decades has been to make road signs such as these as
But still; sometimes I think we're goin' a bit too far towards simplifying these things, y'know?
The problem, as I see it (which of course may explain everything), is we're gettin' to the point where what's left is 'waaaay too open to interpretation, if you know what I mean. And I know I'm not alone in this. (At least, I hope not!)
Take this sign.
Yes, I'm sure we all realize the intended meaning is "Pedestrian Crossing Ahead", right? (I know it can't possibly mean, "Stop for People in Crosswalk", because nobody actually, y'know, does. But I digress.) However, in my humble opinion, it could also be imbued (which is a fancy way of sayin' stuffed with) with lots of other meanings as well.
For instance, when I see it I immediately think, "Man With Painful Backache Ahead". (Hey, don't run; I've got more...)
So What Do You See?
So just for the fun of it, what would YOU suggest as a new, improved meaning for this sign?
Remember, folks, this is a contest, so that means you'll have a chance to win one of three valuable prizes!
First Prize: Monogrammed belly-button lint bag
Second Prize: Used apple core, gnawed by Mr. Middle Zone himself (er; that's me)
Third Prize: Photo of my Elvis clock
(Well, actually, we had these prizes left over from our last contest – again, that's: Name That Thing! – mainly because the
Anyway, just leave your suggestions
So keep those, er, card and/or letter comin', folks!

GREENVILLE — After winning by the mercy rule on Monday the last thing on Scott Jones' mind was watching his Greene Central baseball team implode the following day.
It happened anyways.
Jeremy Johnson went the distance and held the Rams to one hit as this one was all but decided in the first inning in Rocky Mount's 8-0 win on Tuesday at Guy Smith Stadium on the final day of the Pitt County Classic.
Greene Central (6-6) dropped two of three in the event, and due to three hit batters and two errors in the first inning alone its enjoyment of Monday's 10-0 six-inning win over Washington was pretty much over before the Rams had a chance to bat.
"I don't know what happened. It beats the heck out of me," a perplexed Jones said. "That seems to be our Achilles' heel all year. When we come out and make the plays we can compete with anybody, but when we're not able to make the simple plays we get in a world of hurt."
Andy Morris lifted James Head's second pitch of the game up along the line in right, and a charging Ben Brann slid to make the catch but the ball popped out of his glove, allowing Morris to reach.
Brann, who felt he should have made the grab, hopped up and slapped his glove in disgust. But things only got worse.
Head hit the next batter, then Johnson reached on a bunt single back to the pitcher to load the bases for Micah Varnell. Head hit Varnell to score the game's first run, then a fielding error allowed Trevor Hayward to drive in Ramsey.
Jarell Hunter struck out looking for the inning's first out, but Head couldn't get Ben Winstead, who singled home Johnson on an infield roller.
With the bases still loaded, Head hit Josh Carter, which plated Varnell. Head struck out Will Edwards, the inning's ninth batter, but gave up a liner up the middle to Morris that scored Hayward.
The only thing that kept the visitor's initial half from producing more runs than it did was left fielder Josh Head's relay throw home that cut down Winstead at the plate.
The troubles didn't end there for Greene Central's defense and its starter. Ramsey led off the second by reaching on an error, Johnson tripled home a run then Varnell reached on yet another error before Hayward was hit on a curveball that got up and in.
Jones had seen enough, and lifted James Head after he had hit four and gave up four hits. Of the seven runs charged to him, only two were earned.
"We want to compete every single game, and that's got to be something that comes from within," Jones said. "Right now, I just don't think we're competing at the level that we need to be competing at."
The ball was handed to Kevin Ormond, who finished on the bump and did his part to keep the Rams in it. He gave up only one run on three hits, walked none and hit none, but his offense couldn't get going.
That's because Johnson was on his game.
The Rocky Mount left-hander struck out 12, hit one and walked two, and yielded his only hit to Brann, who singled in the third.
Johnson needed only 99 pitches to get through, 68 of which went for strikes
"(Ormond) has probably had the least amount of mound job of anybody on the team this weekend and he did a nice job," Jones said. "He pitched great, gave us a chance to get back in it. If we could (have) just swing the bats a little bit. We just didn't do it.
"You've got to give (Johnson) a lot of credit. He did an outstanding job."
Now that Greene Central's journey through the 30-team Pitt County Classic is over, Jones saw some good things out of his team.
He also saw some bad things — mainly the first inning on Tuesday — that need to be corrected heading into the heart of Eastern Plains 2A Conference play.
"The biggest thing is, we've got to get better defensively," said Jones, whose team had six errors on Tuesday. "Our kids have got to approach every game more competitively, whether it's a conference game or non-conference game."

Madonna brings sex, sin, inshallah 'n' shalom to her gun-toting 'peace' tour
The Middle East leg of Madonna's MDNA tour, billed her Peace Tour, was the opening act to the world tour ahead, and certainly got off to a bang-bang, with guns blazing. The Queen of Pop and ever-evolving woman of a thousand contradictions, with fewer apologies, managed to impress and dismay in equal measure, whether for the heat storm she kicked up by shunning AC units on stage in Abu Dhabi, or the political upset brought about by her performing in Israel and talking 'peace'.
Air con wasn't the only thing she flew in the face of but religion, politics and sexual mores be damned, she was employing her usual defiant and brazen style of risque busty, bawdy and belligerent, with a cheeky nod to God in lyrical Inshallah and stage prop larger than life crucifix.
There was the usual blend of ingredients intended to shock, as red-cloaked monks dancing to bells and Hebrew prayers, striptease, and same-sex snogs. Madonna shouted "Hey Tel Aviv", and variously "Abu Dhabi are you ready?" before launching into "Girl Gone Wild." The crowd screamed back at Ramat Gan stadium, and mustered a limited response in the heat of Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.
This week, the 53-year-old queen of pop started her 2012 MDNA tour in the Middle East, with a two-hour show that combined amazingly dynamic performances with thudding beats and provocative erotic dance, to the back-drop of sexual, bloody, political and religious images; and all delivered on a 'prayer' for Middle East peace.
What do you think of the MDNA tour in its Middle East leg opening? Please have your say on Abu Dhabi, Israel, or the nature of the Material Girl's show.
I'm so happy to hear that Madonna has successfully delivered her energy to her UAE fans. But in between there were SOME FUNNY AND RIDICULOUS complaints too. I'll mention some of them one by one here;
(1) Madonna kept her fans waiting.... Ans: Yeah! Nobody wants to wait for anything. Even me.... "Time goes by so slowly for those who wait."
(2) Water supply was inadequate. Ans: Is that Madonna's fault? May be she'll throw water bottles next time onwards to her fans in between the show, like she used to kick balloons into the crowd during her Confessions tour?
(3) Madonna is too old to wear cheerleader outfits. Ans: Does she look that old? Some are still finding her sexy.
(4) Her act was lewd and inappropriate to children. Ans: Oh poor baby.... I guess you must have not known that it's a Madonna concert. Better stitch your tiny bum to the couch watching Disney Channel in TV.
(5) No enough parking space. Ans: I don't think she can do anything with that... Poor lady gets crucified again :-(
(6) Madonna shouldn't be allowed to enter UAE at least in the future. Ans: The idiot who said that doesn't even deserve to be on this earth....
(7) Some words Madonna shouted were too bad. Ans: Hello St:Pope! I see a halo over ya head.
And so say all of us!! Her big message is See the big picture! Her show is in sections. It begins with a religious theme, the glass shatters to reveal the innocence of youth via Cheerleading. Then comes the intrusion of the gun toting, blood, and death - we are killing each other out there in the name of religion! It is the cause of most wars, yet as sge said in Tel Aviv "We all bleed the same colour". Next comes the leisure sections of how life could be, the various ways to enjoy without war. We can live together, procreate together and enjoy. So to the big finale a Celebration of 'Together as ONE". Don't follow the crowd - do something before its too late! Stop hating! All religions or non- religions can live together. All hail the Queen! Express yourself don't repress yourself.

NBC has decided to pre-empt Chase once again but this time it's looking a lot more permanent. The network has put the TV series on hiatus and replaced it with episodes of Minute to Win It. Though the network has not officially cancelled Chase, there's certainly no compelling reason for NBC to bring it back.
Back in September, Chase debuted to mediocre ratings and things went quickly downhill from there. On Monday nights, Chase averaged just a 1.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic and a meager 5.44 million viewers. When the series moved to Wednesday nights for the new year, the ratings only got worse. It's currently the lowest-rated scripted series on the network.
NBC pre-empted Chase this week and replaced it with a double dose of Minute to Win It. That move paid off with the game show literally doubling the demo performance of Chase's last original episode. Not surprisingly, NBC has now bumped the remaining episodes of Chase from the schedule.
The peacock network had given the show a full season order back in October but by December had trimmed that back from 22 to 18 installments. There are currently five unaired episodes of Chase on the shelf and there's no word from NBC on when or if they'll ever be aired.
What do you think? Will you miss Chase? Why do you think it didn't catch on?

If you didn t file a 2009 federal tax return, you may be entitled to part of $917 million the IRS is still holding. But if you want to get your money, you need to get that return filed by April 15.
The IRS said it estimates that 984,000 people who are due a potenital refund didn t file their tax returns in 2009, and that half the potential refunds are worth more than $500 dollars.
In Washington state, the IRS said it estimates 27,200 people due a refund didn t file those returns and that the median refund is worth $644.
The IRS said some people may not have filed because they had too little income to require filing a tax return, even though they had taxes withheld from their wages or made quarterly estimated payments.
If federal tax refunds are not claimed within three years of when the return was supposed to be filed, it goes to the U.S. Treasury.
The IRS said there is no penalty for filing a late return if you qualify for a refund.
Even if you have a 2009 refund due to you, the check may be held if you also failed to file returns for 2010 and 2011. The refund may also be applied to any amounts you still owe the IRS, and could also be used to pay off child support or other past due federal debts such as student loans.
More information from the IRS:
Current and prior year tax forms and instructions are available on the Forms and Publications page of IRS.gov or by calling toll-free 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676). Taxpayers who are missing Forms W-2, 1098, 1099 or 5498 for 2009, 2010 or 2011 should request copies from their employer, bank or other payer.
If these efforts are unsuccessful, taxpayers can get a free transcript showing information from these year-end documents by filing Form 4506-T, Request for Transcript of Tax Return, with the IRS or by calling 800-829-1040.
