Congo (Mass Market Paperback)
Deep in the African rain forest, near the legendary ruins of the Lost City of Zinj, an expedition of eight American geologists are mysteriously and brutally killed in a matter of minutes.
Ten thousand miles away, Karen Ross, the Congo Project Supervisor, watches a gruesome video transmission of the aftermath: a camp destroyed, tents crushed and torn, equipment scattered in the mud alongside dead bodies—all motionless except for one moving image—a grainy, dark, man-shaped blur.
In San Francisco, primatologist Peter Elliot works with Amy, a gorilla with an extraordinary vocabulary of 620 "signs," the most ever learned by a primate, and she likes to finger paint. But recently her behavior has been erratic and her drawings match, with stunning accuracy, the brittle pages of a Portuguese print dating back to 1642 . . . a drawing of an ancient lost city. A new expedition—along with Amy—is sent into the Congo, where they enter a secret world, and the only way out may be through a horrifying death . . .

More than monkey business
Disneynature's 'Monkey Kingdom' is its strongest yet
"Did you know monkeys could swim?" asks Tina Fey in Monkey Kingdom. While she's asking, a toque macaque (a two foot-long monkey with red-white fur and great hair) breast-strokes under the surface of a pond, yanking out lily pad flowers by her teeth and dragging them ashore to munch later.
Turns out monkeys can swim. And slide down telephone poles. And do the thing from Flashdance where you bring down a cascade of water on your head and shake it off in slow-motion.
All will happen in Monkey Kingdom, the eighth film in nine years from Disneynature, Disney's wildlife documentary outlet. > Read more.

Gold Clues are hidden in three different places: Numbers Kingdom, Alphabet City, and Shapes Forest. Find them by playing the games.
Look for clues with Blue, weekdays on Nick Jr.
Think of it as four-games-in-one! Kids board the train, then "get off" at each of three locations to earn a set of Gold Clues. In Numbers Kingdom, identifying colors and counting up the puppies is the goal. In Alphabet City, the aim is to fill in the missing letters in the alphabet. In Shapes Forest, kids click and drag the missing shapes and place them where they belong. At the end, the set of Gold Clues results in a jigsaw puzzle your child can put together to discover one of Sprinkles' favorite things. Be sure to play again! Each time you do, the mini-game answers and Gold Clues will be different, so your child finds a new challenge in each game. (The game offers 15 unique sets of Gold Clues and jigsaw puzzles in total.)
Parent Tip: Figure out Gold Clues together before you complete the puzzle. Have your child identify the objects, and then talk about what they all have in common.

There are some fragrances that smell fecal, or straight up bad, but project a very nice aura. Arabie is good example of that, but Arabie is not really fecal.
As far as fecal smells, some can get quite interesting. But I honestly don't know...
Are there actually people out there who enjoys the smell of feces? I noticed that some fragrances and oil (such as oud) that have the fecal smell that some people love so much. Oud is not cheap either. What is it in human that enjoy the smell of waste?

"A beautiful fragrance to the nose is like good jazz music to the ears, great food to the mouth, and Megan Fox and Jessica Alba to the eyes..."
There are some fragrances that smell fecal, or straight up bad, but project a very nice aura. Arabie is good example of that, but Arabie is not really fecal.
As far as fecal smells, some can get quite interesting. But I honestly don't know...
Life is short and the world is full of scents not smelling fecal - why should I waste my time smelling fecal scents?
A nose unsophisticated to certain notes, such as certain ouds, civet, or castoreum (among others) may interpret these notes as 'fecal' because this may the closest aroma they recognize. A similar phenomena occurs when one can't recognize floral notes and will then associate them with smells they know (such as 'soapy'). Once you're acclimatized to these smells you realize that they don't actually smell fecal, but rather they have unique aromas that have little to do what how you once associated them. I'm not aware of a single fragrance that actually has a true fecal smell, even if that's a common descriptor. It's with notes and accords such as these with which you shouldn't necessarily judge or assess a fragrance based on what you smell digging your nose into your wrist. Many fragrances are designed to be smelled when worn and the fragrance will smell quite different from how it smells up close. An oud, civet or perhaps cumin fragrance that smells fecal or sweaty or whatever on your wrist has entirely different olfactory effect sprayed on your neck and experienced from farther away.
If it is applied at the basenotes and in a very small dose and mixed with other notes it can make a good musky fragrance in a mens masculine scent. For example Givenchy Gentleman opens with a leather note that leads to the patchouli note then you get a pinch of civet at the basenotes. This gives it a good musky fragrance at the end phase of the scent.
i would seriously buy something that would make people around me gag. 12 sprays!
A beautiful perfume is the one which gives us a shock: a sensory one followed by a psychological one."
Edmond Roudnitska (19051996)
Most sane people don't want to smell like poop. That much is true, but the whole world of flavors/aromas is sort of different shades of technicolor gray.
For example, sometimes people have nasty feet that smell like parmesan cheese. It's gross. Yet at the same time, one could say that parmesan cheese smells like feet-- yet we put that stuff in our mouths!
I always wondered why I heard all the tuna jokes in junior high. Then eventually, I found out. Crude? Yes. Accurate? Sometimes.
And then when you consider human waste and food, we naturally consider them extreme opposites in many ways, yet they're the same exact material, just before and after. Take broccoli for example. It's loaded with indole, which is a poop smell. I can't stand it when somebody orders steamed broccoli to go, and then just decides to stand around having a conversation. After five minutes that broccoli smells like a poorly maintained men's room. There is a poopy component to broccoli and cruciferous veggies, yet we eat them-- sometimes with parmesan cheese!
Honey and urine are both opposite sides of the same phenolic coin. One man's Miel de Bois is another man's Douche D'Or. Look at the controversy of Kouros. I personally think it's the phenolic honey accord in Kouros that gives people more trouble than the civet. Phenols are also a component of chocolate in conjunction with vanillin; And there is a saying that "You can't make a great chocolate accord without a little shit."
I mean, not to gross you out but next time you eat a candy bar (and I don't mean a Baby Ruth at the bottom of a pool), really try to take note of what's going on in the "basenotes" of that chocolate.
Sometimes when I smell Jicky, I get that straight up civet and it smells kind of dirty, but usually I only perceive that roundness that it gives to the composition. The thing I love about Musc Ravageur is that it's similar to Jicky in this regard. I don't see civet listed as a note in MR, but I definitely think there's a civet note there.
But back to food, seriously think about how much more of these dirty smells are in what you eat. It's everywhere. It's kind of the chicken and the egg. I always wondered what was the appeal of Canteloupe (MUSK-melon) and honeydew melon with Prosciutto... Then one day I bought half a canteloupe, half a honeydew and some high quality prosciutto and when I put them together I nearly died laughing. Those dirty minded Italians! It smelled and tasted like a clean, slighty sweaty salty crotch. Sorry, but it does and if you don't believe me try it for dinner tonight! Seriously, do it. Close your eyes and try not to think about Monica Bellucci.
I do remember one Basenoter a long time ago who did seem to have a constant civet fetish and I think it was some kind of alternative lifestyle thing for him, and it did gross the hell out of me when he'd come on here and start up endless civet threads. I wanted to tell him that this was maybe not the right forum for him. EDIT: I just wanted to reassure everyone that this person I'm speaking of is long gone; banned I think. It's none of you guys!
Last night I was walking my dog, I kept getting this aroma which I would best describe as a "well used hooker eating fried mushrooms". I finally figured out that it was the snowy white blossoms on the trees lining my street. I did a little online research and found that they are called Bradford Pear trees and they're notorious for the offensive smell of their blossoms, which many people to find smells like semen, thus earning them names like "spunk trees" and "semen trees". If I had to name them, I'd call them "jizz blossoms" or "hey-who's-shooting-a-bukkake-film-around-here? trees" Strange, but it also smelled like mushrooms, and I suppose there's a connection there too. Funny how we'd go mushroom hunting for wild morels as kids, and my grandma would call 'em "peckerheads", not that I had any idea at the time why she called them that. Ew.
So anyway, to sum it up, sometimes there are a lot of aromachemicals compounds that are in both the things we put in our bodies and things that come out of our bodies, and we can't let the second process diminish the first. It all goes together.

nineXseven, your explanation of developing the ability to differentiate and associate scents was beautifully said! Limited association has a way of constraining or truncating our enjoyment of the many aspects of scents and perfumes. The more you smell, the more you can identify the many nuances a scent can evoke. Language also has a way of limiting our understanding I think. There are just so few words to describe what the mind perceives in a scent.
Indie_Guy, you really made me chuckle at your wonderful analysis of this phenomenon... all of it is so true! What a great sense of humour!
My friend likes the smell of his fart. I just find that quite weird, but then I enjoy the smell of oud, which smells like a barnyard. I guess some people have a fetish for dirty scent?

Indoles are the component that many refer to as fecal. Indoles are part of feces and white flowers. Indoles have a sweet smell, they're added to vanilla ice cream. As Indie_Guy stated, humans have a highly developed culture of seeking out rotting things.
IndieGuy's post is great. To add something:
Next time you eat a hard boiled egg think of what it smells like. Farts! They both have hydrogen sulfide which gives it that smell. So now why would we want to eat something that smells like farts? I have no idea.
As for oud, especially Indian oud, there is a fecal smell to it. The more I have worn oud the more my perception has changed. It doesn't really smell fecal to me anymore. My wife however still thinks it smells like horse poop.
Oriscent, AgarAura Pure Ouds, Creed, LIDGE, Patou Pour Homme, tons of niche and rare stuff for sale!
Dzing! and L'ombre fauve have challenging openings! But heart and base notes are amazing!
I personally do not like the smell of feces
Indieguy's post is indeed informative and good.
I am one of those people whose first experience of civet's fecal qualities was of alarmed fascination. I recorded my initial impressions here: http://www.basenotes.net/threads/268...Jicky-Question I still stand by them, having since had a chance to smell it again.
Civet does usually smell of human waste, or of animal decay. I suspect that people not only sense these aspects variously, but also interpret their experiences of them differently. It has been argued that it has something to do with how they sharply strike the limbic system, bypassing conscious volition. But I cannot comment on that, not being a scientifician.
Pluran recently observed of the note's excessive starkness in Chanel's Cuir de Russie that now that the formulation has less of an obscuring veil of birch tar, it has acquired the savour of human saliva, and a fecal quality. I have not smelled the vintage elixir he praises, but I can confirm that this is the case with the present formulation. Yet I find that there is something mesmerising about it, and in what it permits to the overall fragrance. A hard, shimmering quality.
No, I am not a fetishist of the sort Indieguy peturbedly mentions. However, perhaps because of its reminiscence of animal rankness, civet really causes some part of me to Pay Attention. It is like smelling salts, and forces an involuntary response in me. Like fear of death, civet sharpens the mind wonderfully.
I could characterise my response as a startlement similar to slight pain. Whether it turns into distaste, confusion or pleasure depends on how the remainder of the fragrance is composed and interacts with it. To me, Jicky seems ill-balanced. But when the note is used well, my god, it is beautiful. Pain mingled with beauty, precisely akin to when, in listening to certain pieces of music, one thinks, 'Ah, this is so beautiful it hurts me to contemplate it' - but with the added realisation that the pain preceded the beauty, and has been transformed by it into a lens of poignancy.
I also think (you might suppose ludicrously) of Socrates' comment in Phaedo:
Socrates, sitting up on the couch, began to bend and rub his leg, saying, as he rubbed: "How singular is the thing called pleasure, and how curiously related to pain, which might be thought to be the opposite of it; for they never come to a man together, and yet he who pursues either of them is generally compelled to take the other. They are two, and yet they grow together out of one head or stem; and I cannot help thinking that if Aesop had noticed them, he would have made a fable about God trying to reconcile their strife, and when he could not, he fastened their heads together; and this is the reason why when one comes the other follows, as I find in my own case pleasure comes following after the pain in my leg, which was caused by the chain."
Similarly, my disarmed confusion at the decadent (in the sense of decaying) nature of civet changes after the first jagged moment (which is often repeated) into something else - something diametrically opposed, if the remainder of the fragrance is good enough to, so to speak, ease off the initial chain. With Jicky, the chain remains on to some degree; while with Cuir de Russie it falls off after a moment, leaving me, from sheer relief and delight, a little weak at the knees.
I cannot comment on ouds, my experience of them being too slight, but such are my current thoughts on civet.

It's good to see some mature, thoughtful, and informative posting. This subject tends to bring out reflex reactions in many people that don't necessarily make for particularly interesting or informative reading.
Here's a post of mine from a while back rewritten substantially. I would have simply linked to the original post after some brief introductory comments, but the sorry excuse for a search engine on this site makes it next to impossible to track anything down:
A key constituent of civet is indole, which, along with skatole, is a key aromatic component of human feces. At a certain dilution, indole is highly floral. In fact, indole is actually a key part of the aromatic profile of certain white flowers, jasmine and orange blossoms, to name just two. Civet was a key component of many white-floral accords in classic perfumes because it gave an added dimension, body, and extension to the floral notes of such accords. It literally fixed the floral notes. Civet is one of the great fixatives. Like oakmoss it imparts its own characteristic olfactory aura as it slows down the evaporative rate of the lighter more volatile components in the perfume, and, at the same time, like oakmoss, it leaves these lighter more volatile components essentially unaltered so that they predominate unmasked and unmodified. No synthetic fixative comes close to having this complex effect, and this effect is inseparable from the indolic component of civet.
The ambivalence we feel over the indolic and animalic notes in general is to a large extent caused by the tension these notes create in us as we try to process them olfactorily. Do I like this fecal/animalic smell? Yes I do, but, wait, maybe I don't, but then, again, yes, I do, and before you know it, this vacillation has actually kept one engaged at a very deep olfactory level as one wavers trying to make up one's mind about whether the note is attractive or disgusting. No other type of note creates this kind of ambivalence and tension. It is the tension that arises from this ambivalence that keeps one fascinated by indolic and animalic notes in fragrances. It's a "troubling" attraction. Great perfumers understood this on the most conscious of levels and on the most visceral of levels also. Indolic and animalic notes are also just as powerfully attractive when they exist at a liminal level, and they frequently do in many classic men's and women's fragrances. I have actually found that you can seriously ruin a fragrance for some people (usually men) when you point out the indolic, richly animalic, or even urinous notes to them in a fragrance they like.
Indolic, richly animalic, and even urinous notes when blended well, it should be observed, appeal, at a very deep level, to the primal recognition and attraction of bodily odors by which--in our not so distant past--we used as the main means of identifying and "knowing" our fellow creatures, much like dogs do when they sniff each other. Of course, these bodily odors were very closely tied to sexual attraction. The hippocampus, the smaller primal brain within the brain, is not only the primal seat of emotions, but it is in large part the place in the brain in which smells are processed and hence connected with emotions and with attraction. Smells, especially indolic and animalic smells, connect us to the primal sniffing self. You can't, for the most part, have a neutral reaction to indolic or animalic notes. Notice the responses in this thread. You either love such notes or you "hate" them. Culture, gender, and, of course, the vagaries of human individuality provide the differences by which we all process and react to indolic, urinous, animalic notes in general. (What follows is entirely speculative.) My suspicion, however, is that gender plays a larger role than we imagine. Men generally tend to prefer their animalic notes in the form of leather notes, a somewhat sublimated and bodily removed set of notes that tie them at a primal and cultural level to their hunter origins. Much of this explains, on one level, why there are such strong, diametrically opposed responses to such strongly animalic fragrances like *Kouros* and perhaps, also, why so many women tend to find Kouros an unproblematically attractive fragrance on a man. Of course, women's fragrances have, traditionally, tended to be about seduction and so, not surprisingly, indolic and urinous notes have featured prominently in such fragrances, but for men, I suspect that that attraction is most powerful when it's liminal. On another very deep level, I suspect women are less troubled by indolic and urinous notes than men because of their experience of and closer proximity and exposure to bodily fluids as a result of the primary role they have historically taken in child rearing.

Scentemental, that was really good, especially your opinions in the last paragraph on gender differences in regard to liminal and subliminal reactions to animalic notes.
There were times when I was very much aroused by women who were wearing indolic/urinous/musky perfumes which on a very conscious level I actually hated. I hated their perfumes, yet their perfumes would generate a physiological response from me. Not only that, some of these women, I'm ashamed to say, were not even attractive at all and I still got turned on against my wishes (but hey, I never said I went home with them!). So as stupid as "panty dropper/boxer dropper" threads are, there is still something to be said for a fragrance having the ability to trigger arousal almost on its own, when worn on any warm body.
Also, I have to agree when you pointed out that many fragrances are ruined for people when you mention the dirty notes of a scent they like. It's like walking a tightrope-- you're fine until you look down. I'd probably have never noticed the cumin in scents like Rose 31, Eau Sauvage, Erolfa, and Baldessarini if I hadn't seen the pyramids-- and not that my nose is so poor that it doesn't detect the cumin, but I've found that cumin is the one note that smells the least like itself inside a composition: It definitely imparts an effect on the fragrance, but it never smells like actual cumin to me.
Also, some people's body odor smells like cumin when they sweat-- mine generally doesn't (unless I've just eaten Indian food), so to me, I don't automatically smell cumin notes and run screaming-- but I avoid them because most people, I've found, have an aversion to them and associate them with dirty armpits. I remember once hopping out of the shower, dabbing on a little Arabie to test it out (and really loving it), heading to work and hearing a bunch of comments like "Who forgot to shower? etc.
You have to think to yourself... A lot of these animalic notes are a bit "out of the way" from the perspective of early perfumers looking for materials. It's a lot easier and more natural to pick a bergamot and squeeze the juice out of it than it is to grab a thrashing angry civet by its low hanging fruit and manage to "harvest" civet paste; I mean cripes, I feel a bit foolish and feckless trying to brush my dog's teeth, but I digress. You have to be determined. You really don't stumble upon civet paste and castoreum by accident, any more than some guy winding up in ER because he "fell and somehow impaled himself on a shampoo bottle in the shower".
All of these materials-- civet, musk, castoreum, hyrax, ambergris, beeswax were all selected for use in perfumery because of their relationship not only to (un)pleasant, primal human odors but also because of their compounds which echo and fortify the ephemeral, sublime qualities in all of the flowers and fruits that smell like we think of as smelling beautiful.
I do find that of all the animalic notes, I find leather the easiest for me to personally wear.
Also, I'm curious, Scentemental, if you know when civet stopped being used in perfumes. I wonder if early formulations of Kouros have it. I have a new bottle of Kouros and a very old (1986) bottle of Kouros Eau de Sport. To me, the civet note seems different in the Eau de Sport-- a lot more natural and warm than my newer bottle of Kouros. Just curious if it could be real civet.
No waste smell for me either.....I have noticed this with certain fragrances.....In the past I have also picked up a BO (body odor) note when sampling that is also a big turn off.....I cannot understand why anyone would want to smell like this!!!
I have a small bit of Cambodian oud oil and it can be perceived as either barnyard/fecal or resinous, woody and fruity. My perception flip flops a bit... my brain isn't sure which way to route the information, but the different ways of perceiving the scent provokes VERY different reactions. So saying something smells fecal might not be the way others perceive it. For better or worse, all of our sensory inputs are subject to the brain's interpretive associations.
Also, I like the "troubling" attraction scentemental mentioned... I get that for sure, the ones that do that to me are some of the ones I find most interesting.
For me it's not an issue.
That girl, that bottle, that mattress and me.

Yup, I like musky animalic notes.
Why is a difficult question to answer. I guess I find them comforting. There's a human quality to them that's familiar.

Sure as hell not me either!
Hmm, I'm a bit late to this thread but I've not yet experienced any fragrance with anything like a fecal smell. Are there particular fragrances that are supposed to have this? I don't get any fecal elements from Kouros.
Good point, @primrose and @AZsmells.
There are certain compounds which are found in e.g. oud, which are also found in poop.
Like nineXseven said, if you haven't patiently let your nose decipher the scent spectrum and let it get used to it, you will find the scent 'fecal'. But the more you study the scent, you realize that there is simply something in one little aspect you detect in the other. The scent, in reality, is not poopy.
Jasmine is indolic, but how many of us think 'poop!' when we sniff it?
And how many of us think 'clary sage!' when we smell so-called ambergris in main-stream perfumery (which is actually ambrox/ambroxan derived from clary sage)? We don't.
I think that since main-stream mass-produced perfumery has made our noses disconnected from natural aromatics, we are thrown off-guard when we come across them. This includes things like castoreum, oud, ambergris, musk...
Don't even get me started on musk........ : )
Hahaaaa.... if you haven't smelled real musk (from musk deers), you're in for a real surprise! If you're curious and want to try some, PM me, as I have some grains to spare. It makes me happy when I get to share real oud, real ambergris, and real musk with people. Kinda like fighting 'the system', and letting people see how different the real stuff is from what we're used to.
By the way, as your nose gets more used to the bolder ouds out there, you might realize that "pungent and barnyardy" are more accurate descriptions.
And for the more 'fecal' ouds, they have more of a chocolate note which, combined with pungent+barnyardy, might give the impression of being fecal.
To answer the original question, I do find 'fecal' frags addictive, but like I said they aren't really fecal to me any more.
More specifically, I find Indian ouds to be addictive, as they're the ones that are typically described as being fecal. I don't wear Indian oud as a fragrance, rather, I use just a tiny dot on the outer side of my lower forearm (good longevity here, plus easy access for the nose) and just sniff for hours and hours.
When I use Indian oud, it is for me, and not for others. Its not for me to wear, but for me to sniff. If that makes sense!
Incidentally, Indian and Lao oils are the most "fecal" and they happen to be the most psychoactive of all oud oils as well. Once your nose gets over the boldness (shouldn't take more than 1-2 weeks), the scent just grounds you and calms your mind.
Here's a good exegesis of oud oils by geography, on the Olfactory Rescue Service blog: clickety-click.
Ambergris also has an animalic and 'poopy' aspect, and I find that sniffing it also makes me happy for some reason. Something about it tickles the back of my brain in a yummy way.
And then of course there's the king of all scents, musk. That's about as animalic and poopy as you can get! To my nose (or should I say brain), the most addictive fragrances are and/or contain musk and oud. Natural ones, of course, as the synthetic ones simply capture 1 facet out of a million found in the real thing. Think diamonds.... if you have just one facet and it will look like glass. Have a multi-faceted, brilliantly-cut piece, and it will take your breath away.

But nothing that smells like caca
Let's come up with some names for fecal-smelling cologne:

Hermes Un Jardin Dans Mon Anus

I'm so glad scentemental and Indie_guy decided to chime in on this thread. I will repeat what scentemental said, since I have experienced this very exact thing:
I think the main attraction for me (and others) with gardenia flowers or tuberose (in nature, that is) is the strong indolic nature of those flowers. You smell it and it stops you in your tracks. Which is why I wear jasmine, gardenia and tuberose scents. It's like I want that smell that 'grabbed' me to be repeated again and again in my fragrance.
I too, in my early BN days, was grossed out by civet prominent fragrances. I mean have many of you smelled Shalimar Eau de Parfum? The fecal note positively leaps out at me, when I smell it, as soon as I put it on. Every time I wear it. But then again, it's gone in a few minutes and what's left is positively wonderful. The EdC is not quite as intense at the top notes, but still...it's amazing that this fragrance which is one of Guerlain's best-sellers is so brash and aggressively civet prominent and this doesn't seem to bother all of the hundreds of thousands of women who own a bottle.
"All problems are illusions of the mind."
-- Eckhart Tolle
So... I was wearing Aventus, and a guy I know asked if someone farted. I never really got that from Aventus, but I suppose if you ignore the piercing pineapple topnotes it is possible to see that connection in the play between the middle and basenotes.
I always thought it had a fresh smell to it, in fact a comment I got from a woman was "Wow, you smell amazing, did you just get out of the shower?". So is this caused by the "ambivalence and tension" mentioned by scentemental and quoted above my Mike? If so, I assume this is done on purpose, and is what provokes the kind of reactions that Aventus gets? Also, are women less "troubled" by men over these associations? It seems like it...
I have never smelled a fragrance that I could truly call fecal. I get sweat, armpits, a** etc. from various frags, but never fecal. Maybe I am anosmic. In another thread, someone mentioned ambrette seed as a fecal note. When I tried the ambrette seed at Le Labo, I could hardly smell anything. But in general, I like the indolic, animalic stuff--just don't overdo it. And I think there is a big difference between sniffing right off the skin compared to the sillage that others would notice--the sillage is really where these frags are the most beautiful.

"A beautiful fragrance to the nose is like good jazz music to the ears, great food to the mouth, and Megan Fox and Jessica Alba to the eyes..."
Now, apparently, humans can recognize close kin (mothers and infants) but not unrelated humans (husbands and wives) by odors (Porter et al. 1984 (in Physiology and Behavior)). This suggests that the answer to the question of whether humans can really identify each other on the basis of olfactory cues is "no". i.e. we cannot distinguish between (and therefore recognize either of) two people unrelated to us on the basis of olfactory cues alone. So you'd still have to go "far enough back" to support this claim.
Finally, these statements about the hippocampus do not sit with the data. Sorry. Emotions are a function of the entire limbic system, which consists of several subcortical areas including the hippocampus, amygdala, hypothalamus, fornix, olfactory bulb, mammilary bodies, parahippocampal and cingulate gyri. The hippocampus is primarily implicated in DECLARATIVE MEMORY FORMATION. It DOES NOT receive innervation directly from the olfactory bulb. The olfactory bulb has connections to the entorhinal cortex and the piriform cortex, and these two areas have projections to the hippocampus.
On the other hand, olfactory information appears to be consciously processed in the orbitofrontal cortex, and much of the relevant "subliminal" processing occurs at the level of the AMYGDALA (implicated in fear, anger and reward), which is directly innervated by the olfactory bulb (olfaction is the only sensory modality with this property, hence the strong emotional "component" of olfaction).
Just wanted to clear this up. If the language sounds aggressive, it was't directed at scentemental--just his claims.

iPhone 5 faint speaker hiss/soda fizz noise?
I got my replacement iPhone 5 today. One of many.
The screen is the most beautiful I've seen white and clear and no vertical scan lines, but I just noticed (because of that 'click down in the corners' thread) I noticed mine clicked in the bottom right. Doesn't seem to do it now, but while I put my ear up to it to see if it did, I could hear my phone hissing. As soon as I slide to unlock or lock the phone for example, or go from playing a song to pausing it, I hear a faint hiss/noise that sounds like fizz from a carbonated beverage for a few seconds before it returns to nothing. Almost as if it's some type of interference for a brief period. Doesn't seem like something I can hear while sounds are playing or songs, just when you put go from some type of noise to none. also, only up against my ear. From the normal listening distance, I don't think it's audible.
I don't I'm still gonna exchange this phone even if it's unique unless the speaker stops working or suddenly sounds blown because everything else seems fine, and I'm tired of the gamble. But, anyone else?
1st: annoying bee-like buzz in the earpiece while talking. apparently common with 4S.
2nd and 3rd: vertical scan lines, 3rd had front glass chipping
4th: best screen thus far, but still this current one is better. Problem was the phone would re-spring consistently after taking photos but at random intervals. no restore fixed it. i really didnt want to do this process again but the senior advisor said it was hardware and he's heard of this issue when the camera is faulty, but isnt isolated just to iPhone 5 and definitely should not be happening (i.e. isn't just a weird iOS 6 quirk/bug)
(current) - we shall see.
edit: its also something I can hear against my ear if I play a song but turn the volume down all the way. Not that this has any practical use.
EDIT2: time to stop sweating things. These boards have made me gone nuts.
Just tried with 3GS, didnt do it . OH NO ! tried my iPad3, did it!
Move along, nothing to see/hear :P
Very curious though

I've notice the same thing on my iPhone as well. When I do, I double tap the home key (Like you would do to bring up your active apps...) and then I tap the home key again. I am not sure why it corrects it but it does. I frist found this when I was trying to find the app making the noise. I was going to close one app at a time and found I could just correct it by doing the steps above.
I think I am reporting this as a bug to Apple. Now that I can reproduce it every time I am sure they could dig into the source of the issue.
One thing for sure, when my battery is dying fast I always check for the hiss and in most cases, there is one. When my battery is lasting most of the day, there is no hiss...
|Jan 28, 2013, 05:21 AM
The noise you refer to is quite normal. It's "white noise" which is present in all electronic gear with audio output. The level is dependent the volume setting.

Club competitions
National team competitions
Rivas Ecopolis are safely into the EuroLeague Women play-offs after chalking up a comfortable 67-50 win against BK Imos Brno, a result which also gave Uni Gyor and Wisla Can-Pack reasons to smile.
For the victory eliminated Brno and in addition to Rivas progressing to the post-season, it means they will be joined by Uni Gyor and Wisla Can-Pack who will have been grateful for some good news after each suffering resounding defeats earlier in the day.
With Tarsus already well out of contention, the five teams to advance from Group A are now known. It just remains to be seen in which order.
It took Rivas a while to wear down Brno, but by the time the final quarter arrived, they managed to really pick up their play at both ends of the floor and that change of gear was both palpable and telling.
Ahead of the game, Anna Cruz had spoken of the need to get back to winning ways and the Spanish national team player translated her words into action, leading by example with 21 points and five steals to set the tone.
Shortly before the end of the third quarter, it looked like Rivas had finally broken the game open at 46-36, but as Anna Jurcenkova scored four points in a row to cut the gap heading into the fourth, it looked like Brno would continue to be pesky and hang around.
But, the last period was to be entirely different from the first three as Rivas began turning the screw, eventually outscoring the visitors 19-8 to storm to the win.
Aneika Henry supported the contribution of Cruz with 15 points and eight boards.
Tereza Peckova led the way in defeat with 13 points and eight rebounds.

Gallery: EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: Section 2 of the High Line Officially Opens!
Like much of New York's population, the Inhabitat team has been eagerly awaiting the opening of section two of the High Line for months. Whether peeking through the fencing at the first section's 20th Street park terminus, or following The Friends of the High Line website and social media feeds, we could not crack the shroud of secrecy around this much-awaited project – until today. The journey begins at the park's 20th Street intersection, where a dense landscape of shrubs and small trees obscures the view of the Neil Denari's HL23 tower and the High Line's new section two, and makes a visitor feel like they are meandering a path through an overgrown forest!
The paving here at the "Chelsea Thicket" resembles that of the original southern section of the High Line, creating a sense of continuity from the previous design, but the ambiance is decidedly more private and intimate. Whereas in Section One, trees are generally planted individually or within regular geometric planters, in "The Thicket" vegetation defines the space. Views are carved out between the foliage as visitors zig-zag through, highlighting narrower segments of the city and revealing glimpses of specific buildings, such as the elegant, tapering HL23 residential tower by Neil Denari.
The High Line meanders up north through the thicket where shrubbery and trees fade away and a public plaza emerges. The 22nd Street Seating Steps and 23rd Street Lawn combine to form a pleasant lounging space – the first invitation to step off the High Line pavement and enjoy the park from within its vegetation. While flat and seemingly uninteresting on its own, the 4,900 square-foot lawn transforms into an exciting public space when activated in conjunction with the steps by park-goers. The seats, made in a similar architectural language and materials as the 10th Avenue Plaza, replicate the intimacy of the Chelsea Thicket, and indicate a point of repose within this exciting urban jungle. As you continue walking, it is clear that this lawn is not merely a flat patch of grass; the concrete slab on which it sits peels up from the rail line's plane, rising like a periscope to afford loungers views of the neighborhood below, the Hudson River, and Midtown Manhattan skyline.
At the crest of this green wave, a concrete lip becomes a bench and forms a seating plaza adjacent to Neil Denari's HL23 building, which we've covered on Inhabitat here.

Beast Mtawarira has been forced to withdraw from the Springboks' Test against Ireland because of heart palpitations.
The Springbok management confirmed this on Saturday afternoon, several hours before kick-off in Dublin. Mtawarira, who was treated for the condition by a Cape Town specialist earlier this year, suffered a recurrence of the problem at the team hotel.
He was admitted to hospital for further tests and subsequently discharged, although the Bok management reiterated that he would not be available for the Test against Ireland.
A decision on his availability for the remainder of the tour will be made once there is clarity around the seriousness of his condition.
Mtawarira's withdrawal has seen CJ van der Linde promoted to the starting side. Leinster prop Heinke van der Merwe, who only joined the squad on Wednesday, has been included among the reserves.

The Easton Cycling carbon friendly lock- on grips feature a clever locking mechanism—the aluminum clamps don't directly clamp onto the carbon bars, rather elastomeric polyurethane is used in place of Kraton for increased comfort and durability. The aluminum clamps are concealed by the grip which gives these grips a sleek appearance and further boosts comfort.

MILLEDGEVILLE, G.A. - Pfeiffer University picked up a Friday afternoon split in baseball action at Georgia College by scoring a 2-1 win in the opener before falling 6-1 in the nightcap. The Falcons and Bobcats both even to 5-5 overall after the split.
The Falcons needed two unanswered runs late as the Bobcats struck in the first for their lone run on a Cody Maas sacrifice fly. Bobcats errors led to the pair of Falcon runs starting in the sixth as Jon Gray scored via error during his swiping of third base. In the eighth, Gray provided the game-winning hit by singling home Jacob Yates.
Bryan Tuttle pitched a fantastic first game for the Falcons picking up the win behind seven innings of work allowing one run on five hits fanning nine. Craig Bolton scored the save by tossing the final two frames allowing just a hit with one strikeout for her first save of the season.
In game two trailing 2-0 in the sixth, Justin Harris singled home Gray to cut the Bobcats lead in half before the hosts jumped on the Falcon bullpen for four in the eighth. Harris and Gray each collected two hits offensively for the Falcons.
The rubber game of the series takes place on Saturday afternoon at 1:00 p.m.

15 various works
Timo Heino's art comes very close, for within it different and mutually conflicting elements come together in an extremely precise and concrete manner. Charged choices of material bring the viewer to a halt but, in addition, the refined works are boldly open to different associations. Heino deconstructs our expectations of the individual's identity as being unequivocal. His art is based on ambivalence and its analysis in visual form.
Whip Master
For Finnish viewers, the title [in Finnish, Koivuniemen herra, meaning a twitch for punishing children] brings to mind common sayings related to punishment, such as 'to be raised without discipline is to die without honour' in the Finnish tradition or the Biblical classic "He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes." (Proverbs 13:24) Discipline plays an important role in issues of raising children and education: the order of the day, eating hours and corporal punishment are different aspects of the same ideology. At the same time, Heino analyses in his works the bureaucratic violence of society. Whip Master unravels a complex mix where pain and pleasure intermingle. The rubber is like a metaphor separating beings or acts already entwined with each other that are called opposites. Heino demonstrates gently or cruelly that images make us different, standing apart from us in their sameness. His works do not let the wound of subjectivity be shut.
Speed blindness
The umbrella is one of the central ready-mades of surrealist iconography. Heino's Speed Blindness combines the iconic umbrella with even more iconic animal skulls. The basic black everyday umbrella turns into a poetic image, and the animal's dead head appears as a fact. Heino addresses the justification of distinguishing the ready-made from the organic, and analyses the shared life of different material elements. As already stated by André Breton in The Second Surrealist Manifesto, surrealism is a new awareness. Heino interprets this principle repeatedly. He is not satisfied with one or two levels. Instead, in his works ambiguity unequivocally knocks the viewer out. As a viewer, I move in Heino's world all the time in both the sphere of meanings of the material and in the states of meanings of materiality: the umbrella as a black umbrella vs. the umbrella as a black bird.
Night Porter
The work consists of one thousand white coat-check numbers, each one bearing the black fingerprint of a different person. A white lamp with a magnifying glass gives the piece its own tone, as its rays of light create shadows at play on the surface and let the viewer enjoy the individual fingerprints. And as we 'know,' the subject is ultimately reduced to its fingerprints, which squeeze forth a single identity from sketchy parts; the idea of the ink stain being equivalent to the individual still lives on. Night Porter is once again a good example of how in Heino's works undisciplined networks arise from various hints, comments and associations. A good example of this is the title of work, referring to Lili Cavani's film Portiere di Notte (1974), while it can also be taken at the level of metaphor to consider who gathers souls. The answer of course is Saint Peter. But whether Saint Peter is the greatest of all gatekeepers, or whether man created him in his own image, in order to be assured of his own unconflicting essence, remains an open question before this collection of fingerprints.

High Crown Visor
Take to the course in the High Crown Visor, featuring an embroidered 3-D logo for a look that shows you're serious about the game. O Hydrolix™ fabric and UV protection combine to make this visor and essential accessory for managing sweat and blocking out the sun.
- O Hydrolix™ fabric wicks moisture away from the skin
- Anti-UV treatment reduces the effects of sun rays
- Adjustable strap allows for a custom fit
- Imported
Special textiles and construction techniques enhance breathability to improve comfort by reducing the buildup of moisture and heat. The resulting micro-environment is less favorable to bacterial growth, so breathability helps reduce odor.
One-size-fits-all FlexFit® caps feature a patented technology that weaves polyurethane spandex into the sweatband and throughout the entire crown, providing a comfortable fit.
Reduced weight is an obvious benefit to comfort, and our innovation focuses on achieving it with a level of durability that respects the heritage of Oakley performance technology.
Moisture Management
This technology uses wicking action to pull perspiration away from skin and move it to the surface to aid evaporative cooling. It also helps keep the wearer dry to maximize comfort and reduce the chance of temperature crash in cold environments.
O Hydrolix™
Maximizes comfort by transporting perspiration away from skin and carrying it to the outer surface where it can quickly evaporate. This wicking ability helps protect the wearer from overheating in hot climates and chilling in cold climates.
Ultraviolet Protection
Helps protect your skin from the damaging solar rays of ultraviolet light.
