GCOS Programme Review
After 20 years of operation, a review of the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) programme was long overdue. The GCOS programme sponsors accepted the proposal for review, and in December 2012 the WMO Secretary General Michel Jarraud appointed a Chair and invited the sponsors to nominate a Review Board.
The Review Board gathered evidence in four ways: 1) a self-assessment by current and former GCOS Steering Committee Chairs and former GCOS Secretariat Directors, 2) a survey questionnaire distributed to the broader GCOS community, 3) a number of targeted personal interviews with senior representatives of the GCOS programme sponsors, and 4) active and considered appraisal and interpretation of results by the Review Board members. The findings were summarized thus:
"There is no doubt that the GCOS programme should be continued. It is indispensable. If it ceased to exist it would need to be re-created. To make GCOS fit for the future, the GCOS Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) should be redrafted on the basis of careful consideration of all its chapters and annexes. A revised MoU should reflect all items that were previously included, along with new understandings and commitments by sponsors, such as a better cooperation mechanism and an optimized structure for the Secretariat, Steering Committee and its Panels. This should be supported by a more stable financial foundation as a prerequisite for everything else."
The main outcomes of this review are summarized in a synthesis report:

New GCOS panel brochures
GCOS has published new information brochures for both the GCOS/GTOS/WCRP Terrestrial Observation Panel for Climate (TOPC), as well as the GCOS/WCRP Atmospheric Observation Panel for Climate (AOPC). The science panels have been established to define the observations needed in the domains of atmosphere and land, to prepare scientific programme elements and to make recommendations for implementation.
Please find the new brochures here:

The concept of ECVs in support of climate research, applications, and policy
In September 2014, the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society has published a paper written by the GCOS community that describes the concept of Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) developed under the Global Climate Observing System for a range of applications, as well as to provide an empirical basis for understanding past, current, and possible future climate variability and change.
The paper can be found here.
Adrian Simmons handing over GCOS Steering Comittee Chair to Stephen Briggs
Adrian Simmons, who recently retired from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), has completed his four-year term as Chairman of the GCOS Steering Committee. Stephen Briggs (ESA) has accepted to chair the GCOS Steering Committee with effect from 1 March 2014. Carolin Richter (centre), Director of the GCOS Secretariat, met Adrian (left) and Stephen (right) for a brief hand-over ceremony at the European Centre for Space Applications and Telecommunications (ECSAT), based at the Harwell Science, Innovation and Business Campus in Oxfordshire, UK, on 3 April 2014.
Joint GCOS/GOFC-GOLD Workshop on Observations for Climate Change Mitigation
The Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), in collaboration with the Land Cover Project Office from the Global Observation for Forest Cover and Land Dynamics (GOFC-GOLD), is organizing an international workshop from 5-7 May 2014 at WMO Headquarters in Geneva to consider the climate observation requirements to support mitigation to climate change. The workshop will bring together approximately 25 representatives of sectors in which mitigation to climate variability and climate change is, or is likely to become, an important concern. These also include the communities of agriculture, forestry, and land use.
The goals of the workshop are to identify observational requirements for mitigation, to review the Essential Climate Variables (ECVs) and associated guidelines to determine their adequacy for mitigation, and to develop a plan to address these gaps and deficiencies identified. The workshop results will directly feed into the preparation of the next GCOS Progress Review and the new GCOS Implementation Plan, to be developed in the 2015-2016 timeframe.
Workshop documents and further information can be found here. The final workshop report can be found here.
GCOS Reports by National Climate Observing Systems
The reports, prepared by National Climate Observing Systems, were developed in response to conclusions FCCC/SBSTA/2005/10 Paragraph 95 (2005) and FCCC/SBSTA/2007/L.14 (2007) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Subsidiary Body on Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA). They present the progress made in the implementation of GCOS on a national level, and give an overview of the observations made according to the list of GCOS Essential Climate Variables (ECVs).

GCOS encourages the use of Digital Object Identifiers
Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) attribute a unique reference to an electronic data set. They provide a permanent identifier that links the user to the current version of the relevant data sets. In view of the growing importance of data sharing, scientific experts from both the Atmospheric and Terrestrial Observational Panel for Climate recently discussed DOIs, as these can help researchers to discover relevant data more easily and attribute the data in a way that appropriately acknowledges its source. DOIs will in future enable to measure data usage to estimate its impact and influence. GCOS Panels encourage international data centres to introduce DOIs for their data records of Essential Climate Variables and recommend dataset producers in general to follow this practice.

GPS Summer 2011 School of Business, Misenheimer
On May 9th, 2011, a group of Pfeiffer students embarked on a journey to experience life from new and different perspectives. Global Pfeiffer Studies (GPS) offers students the opportunity to learn in a study abroad experience. The 2011 summer program took three students (John Anderson, Tyler Joyner and Rachel Ford) to study leadership in Europe. According to Dr. Howard, the trip served two main purposes: to enable students to experience and understand different cultures and to rethink the purpose and definition of leadership.
The twenty-three day program was worth it, simply for the exposure to cultural differences and varying perspectives of looking at different phenomenon within our world. However, the greatest learning came from serving alongside others and chatting with other leaders about how they view leadership, ministry and life.
While in Kandern, Germany, the team helped local leaders by digging a garden, fixing parts of the roof, moving bricks for another project, and several cleaning projects. Later in the program, while in Chrastava, Czech Republic, the team assisted local leaders in building an outdoor stage, fixing a swing set, and participating in English conversation classes in various towns in the area.
"I don't know what the students will remember most from the experience in five years,†said Dr. Howard. "Maybe it will be the new cultural experiences like a horse and buggy ride through the Black Forest, hiking in the Alps, visiting the concentration camp at Dachau, seeing the beauty of art at the Louvre or studying alongside German students. My hope is that they witnessed first hand the power of serving others and what life can look like when we collaborate with others, sometimes at the expense of our own self-interests.â€

Jake White says deciding on his back-up options at hooker and centre were hardest calls he had to make when deciding on his final 30 for the World Cup.
The Springbok coach and national selectors finally settled on Wynand Olivier and Gary Botha in those roles, with Waylon Murray and Bismarck Du Plessis the unlucky losers in the mix. Both could have felt justifiably disappointed, having delivered impressive displays in the limited game time they received.
White however explained that he wanted to remain true to his philosophy of continuity in selection and added that the versatility of Olivier and other backline players influenced the call in midfield.
"Look, it was helluva tough because both Waylon and Bismarck played well when given an opportunity, but I'm pleased with the final call," White told Keo.co.za.
"We weren't sure if we should have gone with two or three hookers and in the end Bismarck was unlucky that we went for two. As far as Waynand's inclusion goes, he's played a big role for us last season [he played in all 12 Tests in 2006] and covers inside and outside centre as well as wing.
"We felt we had enough cover in midfield given that Bryan Habana and Ashwin Willemse can cover outside centre and Butch James and Frans Steyn inside centre," he explained.
Asked whether Chiliboy Ralepelle was ever in selection contention despite not having a played since round three of the Super 14, the coach said he was and still is.
"Always in the mix," White said of the Bulls youngster, expected to return to competitive action in early September. "I spoke to him last after the Samoa Test to find out how his rehabilitation was going and discussed his chances of being fit for the tournament.
"He's still part of the mix and if we pick up injuries he could come into the reckoning."
The other call that hung in the balance was who the national selectors would opt for at flyhalf. Derick Hougaard got his chance to prove his aptitude for Test rugby, but failed to impress White, which meant Andre Pretorius got the nod to serve as back-up to Butch James.
"After watching the player [Hougaard] against the calibre of teams like Australia and New Zealand we decided that Andre would be the best option," White said.
"His [Pretorius'] experience also played a big role. There is a night and day difference between in terms of caps between Pretorius and the other options at flyhalf and he's beaten England and New Zealand which is a huge bonus from a psychological point of view when we face those teams at the World Cup."

SANTA ANA – An Orange County judge has appointed a receiver for the Saddleback Inn, with instructions to prepare plans for the old hotel's demolition or repair.
In October, Santa Ana sued to place the long-vacant Saddleback Inn property under a receiver who would see to it that repairs are made to fix what the city has for years contended are unsafe conditions.
Kevin Jones, attorney for Saddleback Inn LLC, which owns the inn, said his client hasn't yet determined its next steps.
"The client is considering its options," he said.
Named as defendants are Saddleback Inn LLC, which holds a leasehold interest in the property on which the old inn sits, and the Elks Building Association of Santa Ana, which owns the 2.4-acre parcel on which the hotel buildings sit. The parcel is adjacent to the Santa Ana Elks Lodge.
The city's lawsuit listed nearly two dozen problems that it considered dangerous, including water damage, rotting wood, rusting metal, damaged walls, broken windows, extensive fire damage and vagrants. It listed violation notices that date back to 1994. In January 2011, fire caused extensive damage to a building on the south side of the property, turning it into "a significant hazard," the suit said.
In his Jan. 25 ruling, Superior Court Judge John C. Gastelum acknowledged the seriousness of placing the inn in a receivership.
"Although the remedy sought is of a drastic nature, the court finds the city has demonstrated a receivership is the only option to have the conditions abated," Gastelum wrote. "With the exception of demolishing the burned structure almost two years after being significantly damaged by fire, respondents have not taken any measures of their own volition to remedy the conditions ..."
Saddleback Inn LLC had the southside building demolished in November at a cost of about $190,000, Jones said.
"The delay concerning the rehabilitation of the fire-damaged south building was caused by Lloyds failure to pay the fire claim," he said. "Accordingly, we have filed a lawsuit against Lloyds." That case is set for trial in June.
The receiver in the city's lawsuit will be Mark Adams, president of California Receivership Group LLC in Los Angeles.
The judge directed attorneys for the city to propose an order for the judge's review. It will detail violations that the receiver is empowered to correct.
The judge suggested the receiver prepare two plans, one for demolition of the remaining three structures, and one for their rehabilitation to compare expenses and "post rehabilitation/demolition property value." The plan for improvement should include an appraisal so that the property doesn't end up worth less than the money owed on it, the judge ruled.
An Orange County judge in April ordered Santa Ana to allow the owners of the Saddleback Inn the option to repair the property after the city ordered the once-popular inn demolished.
According to the suit, the owners of the Saddleback Inn admitted in a May letter to the city that they had not begun rehabilitation of the property or started work on a repair schedule mandated by the court.

Every year, tens of thousands of nonhuman primates are used in laboratory research around the world. There are ethical objections as well as strong scientific arguments against their use in research.
Ending Primate Research
Nonhuman primates are used in research because of their similarities to humans — but it is precisely these similarities that make their suffering and use so unjustifiable. They are highly intelligent and social animals with complex behavioural and psychological needs. The main fields of research in which primates are used can be categorised into three areas: medical research, toxicology and fundamental (curiosity-driven) research.
The BUAV has carried out a number of high profile investigations into the use of primates in research, including the deliberate infliction of brain damage on marmosets at the University of Cambridge in an effort to mimic human diseases and the use of primates in toxicity testing at contract testing laboratory Covance in Germany. Both investigations received widespread international media and political attention, including in-depth coverage on the BBC flagship political programme, Newsnight.
The BUAV subsequently launched a legal challenge against the UK government. We have also produced well researched scientific reports, such as the Zero-Option and Next of Kin (with a foreword by Dr Jane Goodall) calling for an end to the use of primates in research, questioning the scientific validity of their use and offering viable alternatives.
Primates in Research – the Case Against
Nonhuman primates share many of the important characteristics of humans. They are intelligent and highly evolved animals with complex behavioural and social needs. They are also wild animals and do not adjust well to a captive environment.
Primates are often housed on their own in small, barren metal cages for many years with no meaningful environmental enrichment. With little opportunity for mental stimulation and physical exercise, these animals frequently develop abnormal and self-destructive behaviours that may include pacing, rocking, swaying, bar biting, and self-mutilation.
In addition to ethical objections, there are also strong scientific arguments against the use of primates in research. Because of biological differences between humans and other primates, as well as the unnatural conditions in which the primates must live, the results of such research cannot be safely or reliably extrapolated to humans. Although it is true that the development of new treatments almost always involves animals, the key question is whether, scientifically, their use is necessary or beneficial. Just because primates are currently used in an area of research is not proof of its necessity. Primate research has been singularly unsuccessful in developing treatments for human illnesses. Read more about the scientific unreliability of primate research.
Many of the barriers to eradicating primate use are not scientific, but cultural, economic and political. These must be strongly challenged and a fundamental shift in attitude encouraged.

Your white tee just might be the most interesting item in your closet. We'll show you why
There are certain wardrobe essentials every woman should have: a classic jean, basic black pumps, a well-tailored blazer, a little black dress ... but we would like to nominate one more item -- the classic white tee*.
We know what you're thinking. A white T-shirt? That's my sleeping/painting/lounging/errands shirt. Au contraire faithful reader. A white tee is so much more than a comfy top strictly confined to the interior of your house, as we are about to show you. You can wear it to work, out with the girls, or even on a date.
Click here for the 10 ways to wear a white T-shirt.
With the help of a few brave staffers, we decided to show you just how amazing a plain white tee is. Vests, suspenders, tutus, overalls(!), we tried it all. And guess what we found? Besides being super comfy, the T-shirt is truly the most versatile piece of clothing you'll ever own. Consider it the Swiss army knife of shirts, if you will.
So, take a look through our gallery. Get inspired. Dust off that plain white tee and vow to wear it outside the house with style. (And if you have another great T-shirt combo that we missed, let us know in the comments section.) 'Cause we believe the white tee deserves its place next to the LBD. Don't you agree?

* T-shirt Factoid: Americans didn't go T-shirt crazy until 1951, when Marlon Brando graced the screen in "A Streetcar Named Desire," wearing ... a T-shirt. Though they were not a new invention -- tees had been seen on Naval officers and dockworkers -- T-shirts weren't mass-produced; instead they were custom ordered. But all it took was one brooding, smoldering Brando for the T-shirt to take fire.

I've been in semi-large guilds for almost all of my MMO tenure. One of the advantages of large guilds is that whenever you log on, there's usually a critical mass of people online. Oh, not enough to raid, but usually enough so that you can start a 5-man, or there's some chat going on, etc.
Is this the case in 10-man guilds? Or do 10-man guilds normally have 5 or fewer people online at non-raid times? Or do 10-mans work best as small teams inside larger guilds?
It seems to me that this is one downside of the push towards smaller raid sizes. Larger raid sizes required larger guilds, making it more likely that one would log into a bustling community at any given time.

Are 10-man Guilds Too Small?
I've been in semi-large guilds for almost all of my MMO tenure. One of the advantages of large guilds is that whenever you log on, there's usually a critical mass of people online. Oh, not enough to raid, but usually enough so that you can start a 5-man, or there's some chat going on, etc.

What if the server itself was a bustling community, ready to form groups and chat?

I never considered it that way, but it seems right. Nevertheless, nowadays we just hop on the LFG and get things done. 5-man content is available solo. There is no need for the guild past raid-time, so its dimensions are not a concern.
Which is disheartening. I would think that reducing the size of a guild would create a tighter community, but it is not the case, as this community isn't required anywhere else in the game. Call me a retrograde, but I liked whispering half the guild to get an instance running.

In my experience it depended more on what role you were playing when you asked if people wanted to group up for 5 man content.
Generally a tank would be able to get a full group rather easily just so we could skip the que times as dps. However it was much more common as dps to only be able to find 1-2 people to group with instead of a full group.
Though my results may be skewed as I was one of my guild's best dps in both movement, utility and overall dps. Some of our average members might of had a harder time. I remember hearing from out GM frequently that people were looking for help gearing up but rarely saw those people and I would have been more then willing to carry them if the need be.

I am in a 10 man raid guild and I find that during the big events like new patches and expansions, there are plenty of people on for my "prime time" gaming sessions but that may be because my guilds core raiders share the same roughly the same schedule.
Logging in at odd times and being the only one on in the guild isn't unsually, but at the same time logging in at all during that odd of a time is.
We have a REALLY strong core of people on for probably 4 to 6 hours a day during said events, but now after having cata out for so long we probably limp along with only a lot of people on during raid nights or other planned occasions.
I would say that a 10 man guild that probably runs a little large feels very social group oriented rather then the huge mob of a 25 man guild simple because you depend on those other 9ish people for more.

This argument was true before patch 3.3 where you had to trade PuG 5mans, and probably before that in TBC where 25m raiding was dominant.
A 10m guild probably has alts, standby, and also socials. For a 5man you can also PuG (if you got 3 or more its a "guild run"), if you got a tank or healer you got a quicker queue (for LFR you'd prefer a healer). All that does not much matter much though.
What mattered, matters, and will matter is the (quality) peers you know, and the peers of your peers. Those can be now cross platform (RealID), and soon you don't even know their real name (BattleTag).
If you run an alt run you rather take a social or the friend of a player who vouches for him than a random from /trade who has achi. Reason is that the social/friend is a peer who may come back, who accepts the atmosphere, and they are skilled enough to pick up the fight (the social pressure of the peer who knew the fellow would otherwise make them look bad).
If you know the right people on my realm you can easily get into HC progress in PuG alt run. You need to be skilled though. We also have a lot of PuGs on our realm, and they've been able to clear 8/8 since first weeks.
The advantage of a 10m raiding guild is that everyone knows everyone, and everyone gets along. Conflicts are easily solved because of this. In a 25m there is more group forming. I also find the 25m chat in /ra and /g quite hectic. On the other hand I can imagine the competition in 25m is more fierce because of people having same class/role/spec combo.
But your argument that there are more people available, I don't think it is relevant anymore in patch 4.3.3. Plus soon with BattleTags even less because that'd make the realm you play on even less relevant.

@Kleps, a server just isn't the same to me. For one, it's too big, there are too many people. Ideally, you have a guild, you open up the guild listing and you recognize all the names.
Second, a guild is a bit like a private club. It's not only defined by the people who are in the guild, but also the people who are not in the guild. You can kick out the trolls and spammers and misbehaving people.
@Milady, it's not necessarily a "need" for the guild. I think it's unreasonably to expect a majority of people in the guild to be online at random times when there is no scheduled guild activity. But the larger the guild, the more *likely* it is that there will be a significant mass of people at any given time.

Depends on the kind of 10 man guild? My 10-man-only guild runs 4 10 man teams, so that's 50 people plus the social members.
I came to this guild from another guild that ran 5 10 man teams in WOTLK, so we are not so few and far between :)

@ Rohan your example is recognizing the name in guild. As a player in a 10m semi hardcore raiding guild I find that quite shallow. I know every player in my guild. I know how their voice sounds, I know their personality, I know most of their alt names, and I know almost all the socials as well. I even get along with every person (tho some require a user manual), and I'd play with every single one of them. Good luck with that in a 25m raiding guild.
A realm, depending on size, is like a huge guild. In a big guild you don't decide who is in and who is out either (same with realm, unless you are officer), and the bigger the guild the more people you don't know and potentially people you don't like. If I read trade chat on my realm there are many names I recognize. There are many people I played with before, and there are also a few people I would not want to play with again. I am sure there trolls and spammers but I use add-ons and /ignore to filter out the gold/anal/legendary spam.
I'd say we're more discussing realm culture now, but it matters in this context. Many people on my realm came from a realm transfer from a different realm where they all started to play in Classic and TBC. So people know each other, even though they are now in different guilds (some even realm transferred and keep in touch via RealID). It is not uncommon for a new social to join guild or vchat who was a former player somewhere between 2005 and 2012.
So all in all, the realm you play on, your guild, your friend all together are your peers.

@Kring, it looks like Blogger recently changed their comment layout and that option disappeared. There's a number of complaints on the forums already, so it'll probably get fixed sooner or later.

I'm GM of a small raiding guild, 15-20 active accounts, and we solve this issue by posting more stuff on the calendar. Achi runs, pvp, w/e people want to group for. If people know what's going on and when we don't have any issues with getting the bodies we need. We also PUG for anything, right up to raids. My friends list is full of people who like doing stuff with us ('cause we're cool as hell (; ) so if we're short a slot or two we have a meta group to dip into.

My guild is on a low pop realm and is "strictly" social. We have a core group of raiders, about 7 or 8 people, that show up each week prepared to raid. We also post our raid schedule 2 weeks ahead of time, though its always the same each week. Because of this we always have at least 11 people signed up and a few more tentative. We have no problem filling our last 2 or 3 slots from either in the guild or from friends who used to be members.
The trouble with our social guild is that many of our members are either couples or married adults with kids. This is true with our core raiders as well. When we lose one of the members we lose both which usually means we have to pull from our friends or RealID lists and do older content.

ZANY Steven Hall is urging people to vote for him after he performs in front of millions of TV viewers on Britain's Got Talent tonight.
The 53-year-old telecommunications engineer will represent Cumbria when he takes to the stage for the live semi-final with a new dance routine.
Having taken the nation by storm with his eclectic two-minute act, which saw him perform a dance to The Birdy Song, The Macarena and The Twist, he has become an overnight success.
He has gained more than 1.5 million views on YouTube and more than a thousand fans on his official Facebook site.
So, what has he got lined up for the biggest performances of his life tonight?
"It was said: 'How am I going to follow that?' Because the element of surprise has gone," he said.
"So I have taken what everybody said they would expect me to do next and not done it."
Life has changed for the Burneside Amateur Theatrical Society member since he gained three 'yes' votes from Amanda Holden, Michael McIntyre and David Hasselhoff, and a standing ovation from the Liverpool crowd.
"It was the second best experience of my life, but I can't tell you the first one," he jokes.
"Since then, it has been so busy I haven't had time to think about it.
"I have been to London several times for interviews and rehearsals."
Having performed in theatres across the Lake District, Steven set up Comedy Showtime two years ago, a five-person act that puts on performances across the region.
From this, a 10-minute dance evolved which came to form the basis of his BGT audition.
If Steven is successful tonight, he will make it through to Saturday's live final.
If victorious in the final, he will perform in front of The Queen at The Royal Variety Performance and win £100,000.
"I am nervous and confident about tonight," he said.
"Nervous because Simon Cowell is back on the show and he is held in such anticipation about what he has thought of the acts that have gone through while he's been away.
"But I am confident of my routine. I'm looking forward to it."
A BLAZE of colour filled the heavens above Kendal Castle as scores of unusually-shaped kites were flown during a two-day festival.
Hundreds of people turned out to see the skies above the central town landmark transformed into a kaleidoscope of colour.
The free event saw kites of all descriptions performing aerial acrobatics. There was a 16ft hippopotamus, flying dogs, super-sized fish and many more, all organised by SmileFactor10 and Kendal United Junior Football Club.
Event organiser Craig Harby, who attends kite festivals regularly, said he wanted to bring the joys of the event to his home town.
"I do it for smiles. If you get someone looking at your kite and smiling then that's why you do it really," said Mr Harby. "It's one of those things you either enjoy or not. It's a peaceful thing flying a kite."
Emma Whitanney, of Windermere, who was at the event with her eight-year-old son, Isaac, said: "It's fab for the area to have something like this. It's a really fun family day out."
There was also a Kendal United two-day car boot sale where a selection of kites, air toys, novelties and balloons were available to buy and fly.
Other activities included a bouncy castle, face painting, children's play area and a BMX track.
Proceeds from the kite extravaganza will go towards Kendal's Junior Football Club.
Anyone with photographs from the day should send them to email@example.com for a chance of winning a seven-foot delta flow tail kite.

The artifact mechanism was intended to be a general API for the retrieval of binary artifacts and their accompanying metadata. As such it is intended to serve as the single body of code, and a single API to manipulate artifacts. Currently it is not serving this purpose because two copies of the code exist in the trunk and the 2.0.x branch of Maven, and a proliferation of complicated uses in various plugins (the site plugin, assembly plugin, staging plugin) and Maven related tools like Archetype. Any who needs artifact resolution ends up duplicating much of the same code which means maintaining a single point of use is becoming increasingly difficult. The API currently used for artifact resolution is overly complicated and the only way to reign in its use and create something simpler is to place all the code in one place and start improving it.
Separate the artifact handling code into a separate trunks/tags/branches structure and maintain it from one location. This has the benefit of
- Decoupling the artifact handling code from Maven itself. This makes developing plugins easier that require it's use because we are no longer bound to a specific version of Maven.
- We can invite other groups to work on the code. We can eventually promote it to an official sub-project.
- We can maintain the code from a single location actually giving us a fighting chance to improve it.
Once the code is separated I think the following should be done:
- Create a facade that can be used by all external clients. In almost all cases people want to retrieve a set of artifacts for a particular scope, most predominantly the runtime scope. The best facade that I've seen is the RuntimeDependencyResolver created by Jan Bartel for use in the Jetty plugin. I think this should be the basis of the new API we create. At the very least to prevent people from using the artifact components directly as that's just painful. Jan's facade is far simpler.
- Deprecate all the methods in the current resolver in favor of the facade for external use. Some users may actually be grabbing metadata, and they can use the deprecated methods until we expand the officially supported API to deal with artifact metadata handling. But for the vast majority of users the facade Jan has created will do almost everything that is necessary.
- Make sure the decoupled code works with the 2.0.x branch (it should be, but how knows because the code from trunk should be used). We can ensure capatibility for as long as necessary but these will be internal methods which are known by hard core Maven developers but the one we should not subject the general population to. All you have to do is watch someone open an IDE and look at the ArtifactResolver and watch their facial expression to know that we should not be showing these methods to anyone.
We can easily try the decoupled code with the trunk of Maven and then attempt it in the 2.0.x branch, then attempt to use them in the plugins and release them. I think this is the only way to move toward improving the code while making sure it works with everything that has been using this code in the past.

This definitive guide for Reform Jewish practice leads the reader to an understanding of the whole of Jewish life -- from blessing to b'nei mitzvah, Havdalah to haftarah, and tikkun olam to Tikkun Leil Shavuot.� The revised edition features an index, cross-references to Mishkan T'filah, and new sections exploring the impact of changes in the movement and the world at large over the last decade, including same-sex marriage, conversion, bioethics, and justification of war.� Jewish Living is an ideal gift for b'nei mitzvah, confirmation, and graduation, and deserves pride of place on the bookshelf of every Reform Jewish library, classroom, office, and home.
Something is not right in the home of Chaim Yonkel and his wife, Esther. Usually their home is filled with the smells of delicious foods, the sounds of laughing children, and happy smiles on everyone's faces. But this Shabbat finds the family fighting, Shabbat dinner unprepared, and the house a mess.
The Talmud tells the story of two angels, Tov and Rah. According to this legend, these angels follow each person home from synagogue on Shabbat and deliver a blessing. If Shabbat is being honored and the home is filled with Shabbat peace, the angel of good, Tov, gets to deliver the blessing that every Shabbat should be like this one. However, if Shabbat is not being honored, the angel of evil, Rah, gets to deliver the blessing, turning the same words into a curse.
This contemporary version of the talmudic tale, illustrated with breathtaking illustrations by Joani Keller Rothenberg, updates the story for today's families. The Shabbat Angels will delight the whole family while it teaches the importance of Shabbat shalom, Shabbat peace.

Tom Ford's Black Orchid sprrings to mind immediately.
Thread: Glamorous scents
Could you recommend me some scents you would describe as glamorous?
Not really sexy or casual... Not something you'd wear to work or school. Something very strong and noticeable for glamorous evening parties...
Think gold and silver colours, jewels, cigarette holders, purple silk and 20s Hollywood. Something decadent and glamorous!
Burberry Weekend and Givenchy pour Homme makes me think glamour, but I would like something more long lasting and stronger. I'm not afraid of floral or feminine scents.
Dior Homme has some of the qualities I want, but I can't stand the lipstick smell.
I have too many light and and casual scents, so super strong is a bonus.
Tom Ford's Black Orchid sprrings to mind immediately.
Ooh, good one. I actually tried that one quite recently.
I liked it, but I found it too light!
Maybe it's just my skin and nose, but almost everything seems too light on me.
It's nice for casual stuff, but for some smells I want it to be strong!
My personal first choice:
Straight to heaven, by Kilian
Dia, Amouage
Hot Leather, Marc Buxton
Second choice:
Baume du doge, Eau d'Italie
Let me play the Lion, LesNez
Reve en Cuir, Indult
SMN Nostalgia is the most glamourous fragrance i own.
2nd place would go to Helmut Lang Eau De Parfum.
Last edited by everso; 18th January 2009 at 09:24 PM.
Fun question! I would suggest that you try some vintage female perfumes that by today´s standards are completely unisex (to me, and a lot of BN:ers).
Tabac Blond, Poivre and En Avion by Caron (perfume strength, preferably vintage versions).
Mitsouko edp and Vol de Nuit by Guerlain.
Cuir de Russie by Chanel.
All are pretty hard to find but well worth the effort... Good luck!
"Wonderfully wild, eminently civilized" - Derby by Guerlain
My swap thread
Glamour? I'd consider Amouage Gold and Dia, Chanel Cuir de Russie, Black Aoud, Habanita, Ungaro II, Mazzolari Lui, and Noir Epices.
Great, I'll check out the ones recommended.
I've been curious about Mitsouko for a long time now.
Definitely have to get a decanter to test it. I can't find it in any local shops.
Heavy, vintage/recently unisex might be the kind of glamorous I'm looking for.
Trussardi Inside, Hermès Equipage, Guerlain L`Instant.
I'd go with Ambre Sultan. To me it's like a sophisticated glamour, as opposed to glamour and glitz though.
Sales thread here
Derby, Guerlain!
Chanel Pour Monsieur (not contree).
L'Instant, in its opening chapters, is very glamorous.

De gustibus non est disputandum
Trussardi Inside and Chanel Pour Monsieur very strong and noticeable? That's not my experience.
For sale: Nemo Cacharel 1,7OZ (30ML) 99% full
Anything but Knize Ten. If you want to be alone for the rest of your life, then wear it. I would suggest anything Creed.
The only thing close to glamorous i've tried is Tobacco Vanille. It leans more toward gentleman than glamor though.
You say you're not afraid of feminines and flowers? Try Fracas (go easy on the sprays) and Bandit - these two Germaine Cellier beauties are the epitome of classic, decadent glamour.

I second the Black Orchid recommendation.
I find it hard to believe that BO is 'too light' on you. Perhaps your nose is fatigued because you're applying too much (and you can't smell it anymore) or you're not applying enough.
Everytime I'm out and I encounter someone wearing BO I can smell it very easily on them. It creates a cloud of scent around them, it's so strong.
To me it's an extremely glamorous scent.

For me, Habit Rouge is instant glam in a bottle. Upon application I instantly feel like Charles Boyer. Eau d'Hermes is quite glam, too. On the unisex front, women's Opium and Bal a Versailles are quite the transformers.
i think chez bond is kinda glamorous and loud
Agree with Habit Rouge and will add Guerlain's Heritage as well.
I first thought of Black Orchid also. You may want to try layering it with the matching body lotion.

Orientals are best IMO in giving that glamorous feel about their character.
Alongside my original recommendation of Black Orchid, Id also like to add Thierry Mugler's Angel, the original gourmand that drips opulence and excess! This is glamour personified.
I'd second Ungaro II, and also recommend Maitre Perfumer et Gantier's Or Des Indes.
Powdery, with a huge dose of opoponax, a slightly metallic musk note, sandalwood, amber, vanilla, and an interesting green lemony note woven throughout thanks to the geranium. If you've smelled Prada's Infusion d'Homme, imagine that only with a very warm instead of cool character, more powder, and more opulence.
***For sale:
Iris Pallida 50ml
Ungaro I 75ml
and more! - http://www.basenotes.net/threads/301...n-Man-and-more
i would say Rochas Lui could be a perfect choice for you. Here are some topics and reviews about it. I am using it not as an every day scent and think that it belows to the "glamorous" category you did described. Fine Woods especialy cedarwood, Neroli, Patchouli. Potent but elegant and a fine evening scent.
It´s not as masculine as described below:
"Lui, the new men's fragrance from French brand Rochas…is yet another testimonial to the move away from the watery, citrusy scents of recent years towards classic, strong and instantly recognisable fragrances. "Lui is for a man who wants to be a man. It is fresh and woody with amber notes, certainly not an all-purpose fragrance," said a Rochas spokesperson." (7/18/2003)

"Wow, I've never smelled anything like that before."
giorgio beverly hills. never fail to impress !
I certaintly have quite a list of names to check out now!
Thanks all!
I almost forgot Burberry Touch (very elegant) and Bvlgari Black..
Tiffany's for men, Cereus No11 and Escentric 01
Let me underline Tiffany for Men from the poster just above. It is one of my favorite formal scents and based on your original post I think it fits the bill to a T.
More writing on fragrance by me to be found at http://www.cafleurebon.com/
I would choose:
Cuir de Russie, Chanel
XPEC Original
Tabac Blond, Caron
Coup de Fouet, Caron
Amouage Gold Men
Bandit, Piguet
Derby, Guerlain
Sous le vent, Guerlain
Profumo, Acqua di Parma

Chanel No. 5?
Looking for a sample of Gucci Envy Me.
Iquitos springs to mind (and not just because it's by Alain Delon).
Paestum Rose
Amouage Gold
"PLAIN LIVING, HIGH THINKING" O.W., De Profundis
One can not prove the beauty, but show it. You see it or you don't. Darkness - for the blinds.
Real beauty: 1) Frederic Malle 1-20 2) Chanel Egoiste 3) YSL Opium pour Homme edp 4) TF Noir de Noir
Noses: 1) Jacques Cavallier 2) Maurice Roucel
Chamade EDT or pure parfum (Guerlain)
Coco EDP (Chanel)
These are very different from each other, but I would consider them both very strong and glamorous.
for the kind of '20's Hollywood' glamour you mention, i'd suggest Caron Tabac Blond, Guerlain Mitsouko (or perhaps Samsara), Trumper's Eucris is glamorous in more of a debonaire, James Bond style, English and masculine. Black Orchid is definately glamorous, and Versace's Crystal Noir is glamorous in a wonderfully bad-taste, noveau-riche way - not sure about it on a man though.
Also try one of my favourites, Michael Kors Michael for Men - very masculine glamour, dried fruit and brandy and tobacco. Very decadent. and D'orsay's Le Dandy is truly fabulous.

Michael Jordan Watches Miley Cyrus '23' Video
by Natasha Paul | Posted on Thursday, October 3rd, 2013
Since Miley Cyrus decided to pay homage to the greatest basketball player of all time with a #23 video, the next logical step was for Michael Jordan himself to watch it. Well, we're not exactly sure that MJ has watched the video, but Fansided has a hilarious mash-up video of how he might react if he actually ever did take the time to watch Miley in action.

Posted by Reviewer1464825 on Mar 25, 2011
I have read about this product before but I did not have a health issue to try it out on until a few months ago when I started having a terrible, almost uncontrollable phlegm-producing cough which left me exhausted and with muscular chest pain due to the actual coughing. I tried all sorts of things that are typical treatments for coughs but I could not get over it. My husband was putting pressure on me to see a doctor but I wanted to try this form of vitamin C first. Well, from the first dose, I felt I was on to something. I felt more energy and the pain in my chest from all the coughing went away quickly. As for the cough, it got less and less severe and the phlegm stopped. Now, it is hardly noticeable. All this in about a week of taking 1-2 doses per day on an empty stomach, after almost 3 months of coughing. I do not usually write reviews, but I just had to get the word out about this great product. I plan to keep taking it to see what other great things it can do for my health.
Fantastic product

I am very sensitive to usual vitamine C and can't use more than 3g a day even when I am ill. I have put the product in my emergency box with the GSH (the other more expensive complementory product of LivOn Laboratories) to test it. I used it for a cold this winter and the results where really impressive ! I became nearly completely asymptomatic after the first use. I used 4g of lypo C + 1 lypo GSH on a empty stomach 3 times a day for 2 days then one time again the next day as I had a small relapse of symptomes. I used noting else except my usual supplements. I found it very good againt inflammation of the throat. I also noticed it seems good for skin hydratation, probably because of the mix of phospholipids and vitamin C. I take quite a lot of other supplements for optimal health and used the lypo GSH with the lypo vitamin C, so the result may be better for me than for someone using only the lypo vitamin C. But I think it's worth a try anyway for a winter cold. As the product is more expensive than classical vitamin C it's better to use the usual vitamin C at the same time as you take your lypo C to rich the upper plasma levels of vitamin C more easely with less lypo C.
Excellent product

Teen eating disorders can take a devastating toll on adolescents — especially teen girls. To help protect your teen, understand the possible causes of teen eating disorders and know how to talk to your teen about healthy eating habits.
The exact cause of eating disorders — such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge-eating disorder — is unknown. However, various factors might put teens at risk of developing eating disorders.
For example:
At first, teen eating disorders can cause signs and symptoms such as:
Eventually, teen eating disorders can cause more-serious or even life-threatening health problems, including:
To help prevent teen eating disorders, talk to your teen about eating habits and body image. It might not be easy, but it's important.
To get started:
Also remember the importance of setting a good example yourself. If you're constantly dieting, using food to cope with your emotions or talking about losing weight, you might have a hard time encouraging your teen to eat a healthy diet or feel satisfied with his or her appearance. Instead, make conscious choices about your lifestyle and take pride in your body.
Your teen's doctor can reinforce the messages you're giving your teen at home, as well as help identify early signs of an eating disorder.
For example, the doctor can look for unusual changes in your teen's body mass index or weight percentiles during routine medical appointments. The doctor can talk to your teen about his or her eating habits, exercise routine, and body image. If necessary, he or she can refer your teen to a mental health provider.
If you suspect that your teen has an eating disorder — you've noticed baggy clothes to hide weight loss, for example, or perhaps excessive exercise or reluctance to eat meals with the family — talk to him or her. Encourage your teen to open up about his or her problems and concerns.
Also schedule a medical checkup for your teen. The doctor can assess your teen's risk of an eating disorder, as well as order urine tests, blood tests or other tests to detect complications.
If your teen is diagnosed with an eating disorder, treatment will likely involve a type of family therapy that helps you work with your child to improve his or her eating habits, reach a healthy weight, and manage other symptoms. Sometimes medication is prescribed to treat accompanying mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder. In severe cases, hospitalization might be needed.
Whatever the treatment plan, remember that early intervention can help speed recovery.
