Toolbar for Visibility into Performance
Long ago when I started playing with Symfony, I fell in love the with the toolbar that shows up when you're running your app in the "dev" environment. The toolbar allows you to see what's going on and debug many problems.
iContact Labs recently decided to try and bring the toolbar into our home-grown framework and codebase so our developers could get similar feedback. Luckily, we found out someone had done most of the work for us! Some smart folks have extracted and older version of the Symfony toolbar and packaged it for inclusion in your project — called PHP Debug.

First in line doesn't always mean first, at least when it comes to hospitals, where emergency rooms average nearly 180 patients per day.
"People think it's a first come first serve basis here," said Veronica Hopster, manager of West Georgia Health's Emergency Department.
Instead of being seen by a doctor or nurse in the order patients are checked in, they are seen based on the level of severity and of their condition, which may cause those with less life-threatening emergencies to wait for a period of time.
Patient check-in or registration is the first and quickest process for patients in the Emergency Department, and takes approximately 90 seconds. Patients only give their name, date of birth and complaint to the patient access representative, then sign a paper to consent for treatment and a photo is taken for verification, a fairly new process at the Emergency Department to prevent fraudulent services. No insurance information is requested at registration.
"We want to make sure the public knows that because some people feel like "they didn't treat me like they should have because I didn't have insurance,'" Hopster said. "We used to ask for that up front but we want to do what's beneficial to you. What you want is to be back here for doctors to take care of you."
After registration, the Emergency Department staff strives to have patients seen by the "triage nurse" within 20 minutes. From there, the nurse then uses a Triage ESI (Emergency Service Index) and an assessment of the patient's vital signs, medical history, age and risk factors to determine if the patient is in immediate need for care or if they can wait a bit longer.
"Sometimes it's almost like being in a battlefield, when you've got 30 victims that come at you at one time, and you've got to decide which ones can wait 15 minutes and which ones can't wait at all," said Hopster.
The Triage ESI shows that level one patients have an urgent condition that can't wait at all on down to level four and five patients who could range anywhere from someone wanting a STD test to someone needing a prescription for pain medicines or antibiotics, said Hopster.
"Level one means need treatment now, five means 'I'm sorry but you're going to have to wait until everyone else is seen before you come back," she said.
The Emergency Department set a goal to have lower level patients from the nurse triage to a rooms called the "Fast Track" to be tested and treated by a nurse practitioner within 45 minutes. The practitioner then performs testing and X-Rays, but a doctor can see these patients upon doctor or patient request. The most time consuming aspect of the Emergency Department process is awaiting results from lab specimens and X-Rays, which usually takes about 45 minutes.
Those with higher level factors are taken to rooms immediately upon availability to be seen by one of the two Emergency Department doctors. If the ER is overflowing with higher level patients, the goal wait time for a patient in a room waiting to see the doctor could surpass the goal time of 30 minutes. Wait times to see the doctor after being assessed by a nurse on Sunday and Monday this week showed that patients waited an average of 39 minutes in a room to be seen.
"Another thing people don't understand is that if that ER doctor is tied up with someone, maybe having a heart attack, he may be in the room for 30-45 minutes, which means if he's by himself no one can be seen until that patient is stabilized," said Hopster.
After the ER doctor and nurses have treated their patients, registration representatives then gets the insurance information from the patient.
In addition to the general walk-in ER entrance, a separate entrance for those transported by AMR is handled in a somewhat similar process.
Though those being emergency transported to the hospital, Hopster said those with non-level 1 conditions will still be escorted to the front registration desk.
Though WGH does not have a trauma center for extreme emergencies such as a severe car crash or shooting victim, the Emergency Department doctors are board certified in emergency medicine and have all trained at a major trauma center. The nursing staff trains in trauma as well.
"Even though we're not a trauma center, we still get trauma," said Hopster "If the weather is to bad to fly patients to a (Columbus or Atlanta) hospital, they're coming here. If they're too unstable to transport or to make it to those hospitals, they're gonna make it here."
Those patients are taken to WGH to be stabilized until they can be taken another hospital.
"LaGrange is such convenient location," said Rogers. "We're right here with the best of the best. The staff that's here keeping them stable is just as important as getting them to the trauma center."
Rogers and Hopster agreed that the teamwork among the nurse team and doctor helps them to reach their goals of getting patients in and out of the Emergency Department as quickly as possible.
Emergency medicine Dr. Rao Subhod also said the nursing team at WGH is a major help and factor of the timeliness of patient care in the Emergency Department compared to other hospitals he has worked in.
"This is a well run ER and the nursing staff is amazing," he said. "We're always looking to get them in and out. The patients are spoiled here. Typical wait time in other Emergency Departments is sometimes four hours. Here after 90 minutes to two hours patients are either admitted to a bed upstairs or are discharged from the hospital. Of course there are some days we have bad days when the hospitals are full and we can't get everyone in and out, but 25 out of 30 days it's fast."
Like most of the staff in the Emergency Department, Subhod said his job gratifying.
"I like the fast pace and action," he said. "The ER is like instant gratification. The patient can come in with anything, but right away you have everything at your disposal and in a couple of hours, you know what's wrong with the patient and you can admit them or send them home."
Hopster referred to the staff as "adrenaline junkies."
"They like not knowing whats coming next," she said. "It's a controlled chaos and we like not knowing what's coming in next. When you save that one life and you look back on it, it makes it all worth it. Anything even something small, the one life that you saved is worth it. Or even those in severe pain and you help them and relieve their pain. It's definitely worth it."

What's best: 320 kbps mp3 or 256 kbps AAC from the iTunes store?
I plan to use the iTunes match trick to upgrade all my low bit rate tunes to 256 kbps AAC using iTunes match.
What about tunes that are 256 kbps mp3 and above. Are the iTunes store tracks still better? a) AAC is better than mp3 and b) iTunes tracks are made from masters and not the CD.
I know that lossless tracks will be better, but are there any higher bit rate mp3 that are better quality than the 256 kbps AAC files from the iTunes store?

In all honesty it probably varies from song to song. The two different codecs treat different types of complexities within a file differently.
I think the best option would be to not worry about it and give yourself some peace of mind.

I ripped my fave cds to apple lossless, off the top of my head its something like 928kbps - 500mb an album? ..up to 1GB, which obviously is quite a HDD muncher. I use bose ae2i headphones. Playing them on my iphone 4s was great coz it has no EU volume cap, since i bought the new nano though, the fricking volume has a hidden cap and so i cant really tell at that level. I no longer store music on my iphone, so i guess it all depends, if its portable music your after, keep 320kbps...theyre like 4x smaller file size, so you'll save more room.
On a good home sound system you will notice difference at a decent volume level though. ...but you dont seem to be going for Apple lossless anyway?? Just do the itunes match thing, you won't notice.
By the way, if you've 'downloaded' a file at say 198kbps, it will stay at that sound quality..even if changed to apple lossless. That only works direct from CD rip

ACC, Lossless, MP3
You are going to get all sorts of responses (as you have seen)..here's my two cents -
When possible, best to have "master" copies that are the highest bitrate possible. Lossless is ideal and given a choice between AAC 256 and mp3 320, I'd take AAC 256 as I can tell on some files a difference. Some files you wont hear much difference do to their range or the quality of the original.
All my CDs are converted to Lossless. They play of course great.If I want, I can make AAC 256 from them with just the direct compression "loss."
My downloads from iTunes remain at AAC 256 and I have from days gone by some MP3's that are ranging from 128 up to 320 bitrate. I hope to replace those later.
The only advantage of Mp3 is if you have multiple "players" that don't play AAC files. Again, having a Lossless copy you can then make mp3 version for those players.
I'll be short on the iTunes store - I have downloaded very good copies of songs at 256 and then all the older material (stuff from decades ago) sound horrible. However, LP version of the same album and some CDs were evidently cut from different "masters" than what iTunes got. I often think the problem remains with the high speed method of conversion. No one checks the quality and not all "masters" (I should say original source) are the same when it comes to transfers. So if you prefer more modern stuff, iTunes is pretty darn good. If you like say some Glen Miller or Ethel Waters or...its hit and miss.
Bottom line - mp3=good, AAC 256 Superior and Lossless =can't be better
|Jan 9, 2012, 01:16 PM
phrehdd - that's my belief as well, that AAC is a superior format so the quality is better than mp3 even at a lower bitrate. I've decided not to mess with my 320k mp3's in any case, just because it's not worth the hassle.
Instead of the next step up in sampling rate I wish the industry would start delivering multi-channel music. Most of us are hooked up to home theater type systems now and can take advantage of it, and the difference of moving from stereo to 5.1 music would almost certainly be more noticeable than a higher sampling rate or higher bitrate.
|Jan 9, 2012, 04:40 PM
After 192 kbps there is little difference between the two unless you have some really Hq headphones.
That being said if you are only using ipods or AAC compatible media player I would pick AAC on the account that you'd save a little bit of space. If the choices were between mp3 at the same bitrate I'd pick mp3 for Max compatibility.
At 128 kbps AAC is superior to MP3 no doubt.
|Jan 9, 2012, 10:18 PM
Also iTunes is not just pure CBR 256Kb/s. They are actually VBR and sometimes reach up to 320Kb/s. Found this out when getting iTunes match and my old CBR 256 mp3s were redownloaded as AAC and the files were more than marginally bigger on some songs (256kB/s is 256kB/s, regardless of file format, plus or minus a few bit difference for format meta data). Also my 3rd party sees them as VBR files.
|Jul 27, 2012, 12:10 PM
How about "Mastered for iTunes" - doesn't that equal to a vast amount of music on iTunes Store? When I listen to audio previews on iTunes Store (or Spotify) a lot sounds more "wider/clear" compared to equal tracks from my own mp3s/AAC's. Perhaps its my pure imagination or could it be that music on iTunes Store is ripped with superior gear, some "nice compression/EQ"?
|Jul 27, 2012, 02:30 PM
Theoretically the 320 MP3 will ALWAYS be better. But that is purely in theory. In the real world it would be entirely a case by case basis. Song A might sound better with the AAC iTMS copy in "only" 256kbps where song B from a different album will actually sound "better" in 320 MP3. But better is subjective and rarely can anyone tell the difference without $1000 audio components.
From FLAC to V0 MP3 I can tell subtle differences, but not nearly enough to warrant the extra disk space.
As you said before, anything above 192 will sound good. 128 on the other hand, I can almost always tell the difference.

It's all about the quality of the rip and the encoder.
If all conditions were "perfect" the 320kbps rip would sound better. But if you don't really know what you are doing, it is possible to end up with a 320kbps rip that sounds inferior to a well-done 192 or even 128 rip.
I'd also like to interject that I'd wager money that most people who claim they can tell the difference between a good 320 rip and a lossless FLAC copy or even the original source are full of it.
|Jul 27, 2012, 04:55 PM
I can tell the difference between 192 aac and apple lossless on my equipment. Lossless> Apogee Duet firewire DAC> Burson HA-160 headphone amp > Sennheiser HD-600.

For example, is a 9 GB episode of Fringe better than a 7 GB episode of Fringe? Absolutely not if the first copy is MPEG-2 and the second copy is MPEG-4 AVC, even if from the same original. The critical variable here is that MPEG-4 is a better codec; it can either do a better job at the same bit rate, or an equivalent job at a lower bit rate.
Its the same with AAC vs. MP3. AAC is a better codec, and can also either do a better job at the same bit rate, or an equivalent job at a lower bit rate.
So the OPs question, which is better, MP3 at 320 or AAC at 256, is still an open question. 320 is absolutely not ALWAYS better.
With all else held equal, it was well accepted back when Apple started using AAC that a 128 kbps AAC was equivalent to a 160 kbps Fraunhofer MP3 (other versions of MP3 were inferior). If the math is linear, that would make a 256 AAC equivalent to a 320 MP3. But then development on MP3 has stagnated while there have been a number of improvements to AAC since Apple first started using it in 2003.
That would tend to support the theory that the 256 AAC Apple ripped from a CD would actually be better than the 320 MP3 that the OP ripped from a CD, assuming the AAC used Apple's most modern flavor of AAC. And you can probably bet that Apple is not just using the consumer encoder available in every free copy or iTunes to build their library, but top-shelf encoding hardware. That equals even better quality.
And if Apple really is getting the masters, which is their stated intent, that will be significantly better. One of the basic rules of encoding is that when you restrict to a severely-low bit rate in a lossy format such as consumer AAC/MP3, what really makes a difference is the quality of the original. And that is exactly why they are doing it.
Problem is, I don't think that program is all that ramped up quite yet, and it will probably take a few years for them to really get it pervasively through their library (which is why although I intend to do iTunes Match, I am waiting).
A CD is 16 bit at 44.1 Khz. That's an equivalent uncompressed bit rate of 1,411.2 kbps (for stereo). Modern masters are 24 or even 32 bit at 192 KHz, which can give them an uncompressed bit rate up to 12,288 kbps. This means more samples more often, up to a factor of times 8.6, or even better. It also means quantization steps orders of magnitude less far apart. That means a whole lot fewer or smaller rounding errors during final encoding, which means a whole lot fewer audio artifacts when compressed at an equivalent 256 kbps bit rate.
We might actually get back all of the things we have given up for the portability of MP3s, including stereo imaging, separation, real crisp highs instead of swishy highs, and real solid bass instead of mushy bass or bass MIA. Maybe even some dynamic range.

And if you are using 16 bit, which implies a noise floor of -96 dBFS, another trick is to use a hard gate at -95 and simply remove any potential contribution from quantization noise in the original file (which only works if your system s/n is lower than that). That will give you another 2 to 3 dB of dynamic range above the final noise floor in the encode.
And if you are using a good encoder, it is then hard to screw things up quite that badly. But if you just manually ride levels at approximately -18 dBFS, it won't be all that great. Its a combination of knowing how and taking the care to do it right.
So you can give me access to your PayPal account whenever you are ready.

FLAC/ALAC/AIFF will always be the best.
But no one needs such quality. Even Audiophiles can't tell the difference with 256 and above. 256 is enough. In fact, 128 should be.
|Jul 28, 2012, 01:13 AM
My solution throughout the years:
1. Rip in FLAC or Apple Lossless (usually this since my move to Apple)
2. Convert from Lossless to 224Kbps VBR.
3. Keep both copies, the MP3s for portable use and lossless for higher end equipment.
Hard drive space is so cheap nowadays that you can't complain about lossless taking up space.
Also nice thing about having a Lossless version is that compressed formats change over time and you can always go back and just do a batch convert to a new format (MP4 will be the new standard soon, but MP3 still is on it's two toes for now.)

About a dozen cars were towed out of the Blockbuster Video parking lot on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard on Thursday night, while the vehicle owners were in Walmart shopping during the early Black Friday sales.
A spokesperson for Gray's Texaco, who declined to give her name, said her business was called at 9 p.m.by the manager of Blockbuster asking for help to remove the vehicles from his parking lot.
"They had to get them out of the parking lot," she said. "They could not leave the store until the parking lot was empty for security reasons. That is what the manager told us."
Blockbuster was preparing to close, she said.
Gray's Texaco towed eight vehicles from the parking lot. Instead of taking them to Havelock, all of the vehicles were returned to the owners when they came out of Walmart, the spokesperson said.
All of the vehicle owners were charged a towing fee, but the spokesperson would not say how much.
The wrecker from Gray's Texaco was towing cars from the lot until midnight, she said.
Joan Bramlett, co-owner of Tryon 66 Wrecker Service in New Bern, said her company removed three vehicles around 9:30 p.m.from the parking lot. They were taken back to a holding yard at Tryon 66 and the owners picked them up Thursday night, she said.
"The store owner had the vehicles removed because they were parked illegally," Bramlett said. "The owners were doing business in another store. They were not doing business in Blockbuster."
Because of the security issue, Bramlett said the workers could not go home and some of their cars were blocked in.
The manager of Blockbuster did call Walmart to have the owners paged three times, Bramlett said.
"They said if anyone has a car in the Blockbuster parking lot they need to move them," she said.
It wasn't until the wreckers started removing the vehicles and the word spread that some of the owners came out, she said.
Tamara Carter of New Bernparked in the Blockbuster lot about 7:15 p.m., and said "I got there just in time but others weren't so lucky."
"There was no sign saying 'For Blockbusters Customers Only' and no announcement made in Walmart," she said. "The only way I knew was a lady in line in front of my father got a call."
He called Carter who in turn left to move her car.
She waited in her car until one of the four tow trucks moved, she said, so she could "back out and park at Lowe's. There was absolutely no space open in the Walmart lot."
An employee who answered the telephone at Blockbuster would not comment on the incident.
"We do removals from apartment buildings when people leave their cars or their cars don't run," Bramlett said. "…We don't just remove cars for the fun of it. If we don't do it someone else will."
It cost owners $125 to get their vehicles back from Tryon 66 Wrecker Service, she said.
"A couple of people were upset," Bramlett said. "But one man knew he had parked illegally and he didn't have any trouble paying."
Ebbie Howard of E&J Automotive in New Bern, said he was the first wrecker service Blockbuster called.
"I said, no I'm not getting in the middle of that," Howard said.

Mobile phones have come a long way since they were first invented in 1973; now over 6 billion people own one. These first mobile phones were very basic in design, but with manufacturers constantly competing, there has a been a huge boom in mobile technology and design.
All mobile phones offer basic telephony and allow users to send text messages, but modern phones now have features such as internet, email and photography, allowing users to manage their entire lives through their phones. These devices have come to be known as 'smartphones'.
The New PDAs
Mobile phones have become increasingly valuable to businesses and businesspeople, allowing them to keep appointments, surf the internet and keep track of their lives via their phones. This has made the Filofax and other paper organisers almost obsolete, as workers can now keep their entire lives in one place. New smartphones such as the Blackberry and Apple's IPhone have become very popular with employees due to their sleek design and capacity to keep track of anything.
Making Memories
Modern mobile technology des not just cater to businesspeople, however; they also allow huge scope for keeping track of memories. Mobiles generally now come equipped with megapixel cameras; much the same as a top of the range camera you can buy in stores. The phone will then save your photos, allowing you to instantly upload them to your Facebook, blog or other photo-sharing sites. Smartphones also have apps which allow you to edit your photos in a professional way; adjusting the colour, or putting filters overs them, to make them more interesting and correct them much in the same way Photoshop does. You can also send pictures text messages and upload and watch videos on YouTube directly from your phone, saving the hassle of first transferring them to your computer.
"There's an app for that!"
If you can dream it, someone has probably created an app for it. Apps on mobile phones are similar to programs on computers. There are apps for everything from games to calendars to mobile banking. There are even fitness apps and ones to record and track your hopes and dreams. These programs have exploded in popularity since the launch of smartphones, with some people even making a living from designing and selling them.
Modern mobile technology has come a long way from the brick-like mobile telephones from the 80s, and with technology improving every day, the future of mobile phones looks very exciting indeed.

We stopped giving each other Christmas/birthday/Valentines's Day etc. gifts and instead allot ourselves the money that we have budgeted for the occasion.
That, together with $1/day personal cash we allot ourselves, plus any money made from selling off my unwanted perfumes, eventually gives me enough to buy some new perfume (or supplies for my other hobby.)
If it were not for this, I wouldn't be buying any perfume at all.
Side benefits are that we don't have an accumulation of unwanted gifts that end up being donated to Goodwill, and we don't go crazy trying to figure out what the other wants and spending December running around the shops.
It may sound unromantic, but we find other ways to be romantic.
Over the years my parents and my husband's parents realized we preferred cash gifts and they were all too relieved to stop running around the shops as well.
Hmmm...editing because I realize I didn't really answer the question.
I have nothing on my wish list. I am happy with what I currently have.
This could change, of course.

Know some people that think giving cash is tacky..but gift cards, somehow aren't. Oh brother. Cash, gift cards, socks, don't care..gimmie gimmie. lol. Ain't nothin wrong with cash, change, checks,. Plus, sometimes people get gift cards to places they don't even want to shop at. Good to go with good ol' cash.
That's certainly how I feel about it!
And I give cash for weddings, too. My mother's caregiver (the one she had for 4 months after her hip fracture) was thrilled to get some cash for her wedding last month. No complaints from her, LOL!
I say cash is the gift of choice-- the gift that gives the recipient a choice. And when money is tight (our health insurance premiums jumped by $40 per week as of Oct. 1) choice is hard to come by, so it is a true gift.

More from the Jovoy Paris line.
Well, I'm travelling in the first two weeks of December: Berlin>>Zurich>>Paris>>Rome
I have LOTS on my wish list:
La Myrrhe
Iris Silver Mist
Rubj EDP
Mito/Onda, not sure yet
Petroleum? Maybe
Tempted by Leva also... I may get Leva if I don't pick up Mito
Too many too many
I'd love to give myself Poivre 23...maybe Oud Ispahan if I'm good, or Cuir de Russie.
Any of these 4 would be really nice!!
Creed Original Santal
Andy Tauer L'Air du Desert Marocain
Serge Lutens Fille en Aiguilles
Serge Lutens Fumerie Turque
1. Dior Homme Intense
2. Creed Aventus
3. Tom Ford Extreme
4. Gucci Pour Homme II
5. Terre d'Hermes
We stopped giving Christmas gifts to one another after 5 years being married (will be 14 next year). Nobody else gives us gifts except for a former neighbor, and we do not celebrate Christmas (or anything else).
That said, I wrote a letter to Santa wishing for Guerlain Cuir Beluga back in August. Now it is October and I am about to write Santa another letter wishing for Amouage Interlude in addition to my first wish. But, since we do not celebrate Santa, he might not bring what I wish for.
Frederic Malle Bigarade Concentree
Byredo Pulp
to name a few
Patchouli 24
Red aoud
Borneo 1824
- - - Updated - - -
I was also thinking about buying a couple frags for the family and borrow some mls at a later date. In that case it's "What we do in Paris" for mom and "midnight in Paris" for dad. That's the cool thing about buying someone close to you perfume.....they smell good and you can borrow some.
everything Frédéric Malle!!!!
1. Dior Homme Original
2. Musc Ravaguer
3. Portrait of a Lady
4. Noir de Noir
5. L Instant Guerlain pour Homme Extreme
6. New Haarlem
7. Pure Coffee
8. Blu Mediterraneo Sicilian Almond
9. Rose 31
10. Spiritueuse Double Vanille
l don't expect anyone else to buy my fragrances for me, especially as l seem to have rather expensive tastes lately!
But l've already ordered a bottle of Stoned by Solange Azagury-Partridge as a present to myself. l don't think l'll be waiting until Christmas to open it, though.
"What is this secret connection between the soul, and sea, clouds and perfumes? The soul itself appears to be sea, cloud and perfume..." - from Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis.
I think I'll be buying my own perfume gift, I'll probably give myself a larger decant of Djedi. I absolutely know that no one else will! I have put the word out that I would certainly be happy with more Cuir de Russie. At least that can be found somewhere, even the vintage. ( but I doubt if I'll get it!)
Shalimar Ode a la Vanille - Sur le Route de Madagascar (Guerlain)
An Andy Tauer, either one of his Tableau series or Rose Chypre
A rare full bottle of my favorite ever: Le Feu D'Issey
And I'll be buying perfume for everyone I know who even remotely likes fragrance.
None of my potential Santas is very well off, so it's a good time to ask for the cheap and cheerful perfumes that I've been thinking about, like Elizabeth Taylor's Gardenia, Tocade, or even a 35ml Nicolai.
The problem is that when people give me cash, I tend to squirrel it away or use it for something practical.
Both something contemporary like CK Shock and something classic, like Jaguar for Men or Guerlain Heritage, even considering to blind buy Ted Lapidus.
We're going to New Orleans this Christmas, and I truly don't want a thing except a great time. Like Inga, I usually buy my own fragrance gifts anyway (my husband thinks I already have too much perfume). I wouldn't mind some vintage intact sealed Miss Dior, a vintage Calèche parfum, and any vintage Chantilly that says "made in France" on the label. Is that too greedy?
edting to add...
Apparently not because now that I think of it...I'd like a fragrance from the Boadecea the Victorious line - the bottles are sooo beautiful! And I think I might enjoy VC&A Lys Carmine. I was quite taken with that one when Twolf did the VC&A Extraordinaire sample pass. I so rarely meet one I covet (gimme gimme, as kalli says) when I sample. I enjoy trying them, but I rarely want more than a sample.
So here is my new list...
Vintage Miss Dior
Vinatage Calèche parfum
Vintage Chantilly, "made in France"
Something by Boadecea the Victorious
VC&A Lys Carmine
All of the above would suit me in 2013, maybe throw in some By Killian Love.
I talk to myself. ^^^

I've just fallen head over heels for vintage Après L'Ondée, Diorama and Diorissimo. Those please? Some vintage Cuir de Russie while we're on a roll, and seeing as I'm in fantasy land already, why not a handsome prince and gold carriage to go with.
That said, I think I miiiight just find it in me to finally splurge on some L'Heure Bleue...
I'll always make time for cats and roses
My great loves:
Mitsouko, L'Heure Bleue, Caron Pour un Homme, Dune, Fat Electrician, Oxford and Cambridge, Eau de Campagne, Elixir des Merveilles, Sarrasins, MKK, Ambre Sultan, Tocade, Dzing!
Current obsessions:
Le Temps d'Une Fête, Tom of Finland, Jasmin et Cigarette, Dirty (not dirty at all )
"Perfume is an invisible art form, and yet one of the most evocative and personal."
I need to do some serious sampling/research before Christmas to make up my mind. TBH, blasphemous though it may be to admit as much on Basenotes, nothing I've tried recently has moved me to think 'I must have this!'. I have enjoyed sampling Tilda Swinton Like This by ELDO, TF Black Violet, and Zeta by Andy Tauer, so perhaps one of these, but will have to re-test first.
Am thinking An Amouage for Christmas, but i just need to test my samples a little further before i commit to which particular one.
I had to add Jo Malone's Vanilla & Anise. Totally forgot I've been wanting a fb forever! I had a few samples but went through them like cherry Pez. I need to sample Oud Isaphan, sounds really good!
Wonder if places like Luckyscent, STC, TPC..etc, lol...have gift certificates. Ya, know, something for my stocking! Lol. Shouldn't I be thinking of giving? Naaaa...not yet, hehe.
My preference would be for decants:
Vintage Cartier Santos
Tiffany Sport for Men
Amouage Memoir Man
Heeley Cuir Pleine Fleur
Something from Histoire De Parfum..not sure which one yet
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
"I've been everywhere but the electric chair seen everything but the wind."..
We usually spend Christmas money on something relatively small, then spend on holidays. Holidays, holidays, holidays. Always somewhere warm
I'd be delighted to get any of these:
Puredistance M
Tauer LADDM
Profumum Arso
MDCI Invasion Barbare
Creed Jardins D'Amalfi
LOL...as I type this post, I hear Eartha Kitt singing "Santa Baby"

Well, to heck with Santa..I sold some items and got a 1.7 ounce of Drole De Rose.. I edited.

A bottle of Le Feu D'Issey would be wonderful.
However, I think I'll have to source and buy it for myself as well as hide how much it cost!

Yep! Indeed! Thanks, I can't get full bottles very often just cause I can't afford it. So, it was time to sell some items.
That said, I'll probably be asking for a bottle of either Back to Black or Aventus for my stink-water needs... if I even ask for any frags, which is a big if. A new, much-needed winter coat and a Herman Miller Eames side chair for my bedroom are much higher up on my list, along with an also much-needed new computer as a gift to myself. And maybe, if the price is right, I'll ask for another roller coaster and thrill ride trip to Universal Orlando (gotta love The Mummy and The Incredible Hulk) in January to compensate for the missing second visit to Cedar Point this year.
"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."
Let's see...
Huitième Art Myrrhiad
Etro Gomma
the Malle coffret
Diptyque candle Feu de bois
L'Artisan candles L'Automne and L'Hiver (though I've not smelled them, yet!)
"Your fragrance with a fume of iodine" L. Cohen
Tops on my list, however, is a 100ml bottle of Gucci Pour Homme II. Also starting to run low & really want a nice full bottle before it gets scarce. I'd also love another decant of Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille, but I'm afraid I'll be out of "gift" power with the first 2....
On my Christmas list? The full bottle of Eternity Aqua for Women that my husband is buying for me. He's a good husband and indulges my perfume obsession even though he sometimes asks if I don't have enough already.
LP No. 9 for Men by Penhaligon's. I only need 50ml, but it is so hard to find it online (only the big bottle is available).
Eau Duelle in solid compact form -- it would be so nice to carry it with me
The Perfumed Court's Classic and Discontinued Vintage Perfume Sampler (in a larger size than 1 ml each )
One of each of Paintbox Soapworks' (Etsy) soaps in full size
DSH Blue-Green: Arnica
Changed my Christmas list a few days ago.
Now I want to be reunited with either M7 or Terre d'Hermés (both scents that I once owned, drained, and miss immensely). To go along with it, some gift cards, either a reproduction Herman Miller Eames side chair or a Sodastream... and a poster from one of my favorite bands (to guess, look at my signature and avatar).

I liked that I could customize the colors to match our theme; I like that it was simple; the only thing I would change is that there wasn't much room for info (e.g., the venue, time, etc).
Excellent Magnet Save the Dates
I did a ton of looking before I chose. They had the most options and I loved that I could change and personalize every aspect of my save the dates. The product came in just as I was hoping. Beautifully and professionally done. Thanks Magnet Street!
Gorgeous Save the Date!
I love these Save the Dates! They were very easy to design, and they came looking exactly like the design I created online. There were even a few extras included with the envelopes, which was nice for when I messed up a couple! I would definitely recommend these to another Bride!

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
Reasons for ordering the prealbumin test are undergoing reassessment as understanding of prealbumin is evolving. Historically, prealbumin has been ordered to help detect protein-calorie malnutrition and to monitor the effectiveness of parenteral (for example, intravenous) nutrition. Newer evidence suggests that the reasons for changes in prealbumin levels may be more complex and the test should not be interpreted as a simple indicator of nutritional status.
When to Get Tested?
No current consensus exists on when to get tested, although prealbumin may be ordered, along with assessments of nutritional intake, when a health practitioner suspects that someone is malnourished or is at risk of malnutrition.
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Prealbumin, also called transthyretin, is one of the major proteins in the blood and is produced primarily by the liver. Its functions are to carry thyroxine (the main thyroid hormone) and vitamin A throughout the body. This test measures the level of prealbumin in the blood.
Although commonly used as a marker of malnutrition, research is continuing in order to better understand the role(s) of prealbumin in the body, especially the reasons for changes observed during illness, and the clinical utility of prealbumin testing.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is taken by a needle from a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Common Questions
Ask a Laboratory Scientist
Form temporarily unavailable
Due to a dramatic increase in the number of questions submitted to the volunteer laboratory scientists who respond to our users, we have had to limit the number of questions that can be submitted each day. Unfortunately, we have reached that limit today and are unable to accept your inquiry now. We understand that your questions are vital to your health and peace of mind, and recommend instead that you speak with your doctor or another healthcare professional. We apologize for this inconvenience.
This was not an easy step for us to take, as the volunteers on the response team are dedicated to the work they do and are often inspired by the help they can provide. We are actively seeking to expand our capability so that we can again accept and answer all user questions. We will accept and respond to the same limited number of questions tomorrow, but expect to resume the service, 24/7, as soon as possible.

Becoming more active is not just a matter of individual choice. A growing body of research suggests that people's physical surroundings, or what scientists call "built environments," have a large influence on people's level of activity. (1)
People are more likely to be active if they live near parks and playgrounds; in neighborhoods that have sidewalks or bike paths; or close enough to work, school, or shopping that they can travel by bike or on foot. People are less likely to be active if they live in neighborhoods without recreation facilities, or in sprawling suburbs designed for driving.
Picking up and moving to a neighborhood with safer parks, tree-lined sidewalks, or bicycle-friendly streets is not an option for most folks. Instead, communities need to create built environments that make it easier for people to weave physical activity into their daily lives. (2, 3) Local and state leaders control budgets, zoning, and a variety of regulations that shape our physical surroundings, and there are many strategies communities can use to promote safe environments for activity: (2, 3)
- Improving access to parks, walking and biking paths, community gardens, and other outdoor recreation facilities
- Creating attractive sidewalks and so-called "cycle tracks," barrier-protected and bicycle-exclusive facilities alongside sidewalks (similar to those used in the Netherlands)
- Curbing traffic, so that people feel safer walking and cycling
- Building schools within easy walking distance of where people live
- Improving public transportation, to encourage more people to use it
- Changing zoning rules to allow "mixed-use development"—if communities let homes, stores, schools, offices, and other buildings be built close to each other, people will be more likely to walk or bike from place to place, rather than hop in the car
- Making neighborhoods safer, to encourage people to be active outdoors
- Allowing community residents to use schools for recreation, after school hours
Individuals can help by becoming advocates for change, even pitching in: Volunteer to clean up a local park. Join a neighborhood crime watch. Start a petition to add crosswalks along a popular walking route to school, or to turn parking spaces into cycle tracks along busy streets.

Ok, if I had tese in my possesion, I would certainly wear my wild print sundress a lot more often! These would be perfect, either pair.
These earrings are lovely and I think the pair at the bottom are my favourites.
I like the copper findings with the choice of the colour of the beads they work perfectly together.
I love sitting with my feet up and a cup of coffee having a look at all the lovely pieces of handmade jewellery that everyone has been making it makes me feel so lazy.
Handmade jewellery designs found here
Linda, I lean towards that second pair also...........I am mostly out of the earring wearing thang though, as my hair is soooo short that earrings have to be pretty small to look right. However........those copper and bead danglers are really sweet. I like the bottom finding on the other pair too..........almost like a stylized swan. Or am I just using my imagination this morning? Donna
Donna, I think it's supposed to be a phoenix, but swan works too. :)
Both pair are beautiufl and unique.
Gyspy Mary
Blessed are those who can Give, without remembering
and Take with out Forgetting
Very pretty! I love the combination of beads you used. :)
Very fun pairs! Perfect for some wild print summer dresses. :-)

Hello everyone,
I've been looking for American Apparel hoodies. Only problem is, we don't have an American Apparel shop in Denmark, and no one sells it here. So I've been searching for it on the net, and the only places I've found is on their own site, ASOS and eBay. Both ASOS and their own site has pretty high prices. At eBay I found them for like 20-30$. Only problem with eBay is, those that sells them are only from the USA, which means I have to paid taxes and etc.
So I would like to know if you know cheat places online, where they sell American Apparel hoodies, and they have to be located within the EU.

The smallest island in the world ever to have been partitioned between two different nations, St. Martin/St. Maarten has been shared by the French and the Dutch in a spirit of neighborly cooperation and mutual friendship for almost 350 years. The border is almost imperceptible. and people cross back and forth without ever realizing they are entering a new country.
