Nice intro, Haunani! so, 7 pm in my neck of the woods (EDT)—phew! Moving an elderly neighbor from rehab for a broken hip back to her home that afternoon.
Hello sniffers and spectators! Now that it's July, we're finally getting around to our May Blind Sniff. :-) Because this was planned for May, it is all about florals! We will depart from tradition a bit because all three of our fragrances can be classified as "designer." Just keep in mind that there is a wide range of designer fragrances! They can be very cheap or very expensive, they may or may not be easily found in department stores, and some may best be described as niche fragrances.
This is truly a 3x3 Blind Sniff, as we have in our parcels THREE different floral fragrance types (styles) from THREE different countries. Each has THREE or more floral notes listed.
All three fragrances are listed in the Basenotes and Fragrantica databases, but as always Google may give you some help, too!
Let's run this sniff like we have other recent ones. Beginning at about 4:00 p.m. Pacific time on Thursday, July 12, sniffers may open Sample A and start posting impressions. Our co-host, Jujy54, and I will ask questions and confirm notes when two or three of you agree on them. Here are some variables you may want to consider:
Concentration: Parfum, EdP, EdT?
Thin or rich? Light or heavy?
Linear or changing?
Masculine, feminine, unisex?
Modern? Old-fashioned?
What do you like or not like about it?
Does it remind you of any other fragrances you've smelled?
What notes do you think you're detecting?
Important: If sniffers or spectators would like to make a guess as to the identity of a fragrance, please send a PM to one of the hosts instead of posting on this thread, so as not to spoil the fun for others.

What do insomniac perfumers do to fall asleep? They count chypres!
Hello, Haunani and everyone else. I am still away from home. I am supposed to get home on Thursday evening, but no one was there for about three weeks. I don't know if the samples will be there, if the internet will be working, if we left behind some fruit to rot for weeks ...Also, when I get home, it will be after some 36 hours of not sleeping, and I usually don't react well.
So there is a chance I won't be able to join in until the following day. Everyone, go ahead and have fun without me.
Hi everyone,
Things are very hectic for me too at the moment. Two problems, weekend as I have said before do not work for me and on top of the usual I have business clients visiting this Saturday and family on Sunday (family from abroad). Sooo it will not work for me. Friday is not very likely either unless during the day for me but this 4 p.m. is no good as that means it is the middle of the nite for me. I could start writing tomorrow (Thursday) but not a lot of time this week. I am moving unexpectedly and going on vacation the 20-28 so that will not work either. I do not need much time though. I can do tomorrow and Friday partially and then Monday-Wednesday next week but not this 4 pm thing. But... we can all write when we can I guess, just need to know when we can start. Sounds like a lot of fun!
Oh, my. It sounds like coordinating will be trickier than usual, with everyone so busy and conflicting schedules!
Darkdreams, I'm certain that your package will be in the mail, as it was sent long ago.
How is this for a plan?
- Everyone begin posting impressions ANY time tomorrow (I can check in throughout the day and evening!).
- Continue playing on Friday and over the weekend, for those who can be here.
- Continue Monday through Wednesday (however long it takes).
Question: Is everyone available for all or part of Monday-Wednesday? Would you prefer to wait to start then?
Suggestions about how to handle this are very welcome!

I am available Monday through Wednesday and it may be better to start then IMHO as then we can all be here and Dd can get her rest as well. Over the weekend I am definitely not available now and tomorrow is sort of iffy but I could do some sniffing and post impressions today on A if you like. Let me know please.
- - - Updated - - -
Ok, well, I can start before I leave for the evening here... and then do some tomorrow and next week but over the weekend is not going to work, so we could all do as best for us...
I can start today as well since my workshop got cancelled (boo) and I am not leaving home (yay). Will definitely ready by 4 -- unless you're starting earlier, OV. When can you start?

I can start now, I will write down my impressions. Here are my thought, I really disliked this fume at first as I feel I am anosmic to some of the flowers in it. This is a complex floral fume in my opinion with many notes which may include lily that I normally dislike. I disliked the opening which seemed really odd to me, there seems to be the usual citruses, more specifically bergamot in my opinion but other stuff I cannot identify, somehow the opening is really alcoholy, strong and not to my liking, sort of cheapish smelling.
Lots of flowers in the middle in my opinion, which include jasmine for sure and rose I believe, more flowers to come later...
The base is the most characteristic and it has a strong resemblance to Creed Jasmin Eugenie ... so I am as positive as I can be about the amber-vanilla-sandalwood trio. Also add perhaps musk and incense?
Ok, within a few mins I got a guess which I will PM and could be totally wrong.
- - - Updated - - -
But this is fun, as to the questions this is most definitely a feminine entry, extremely sweet in character (too much so and I like sweet), EDP, definitely triangular in composition, old-fashioned and I do not like it.))
- - - Updated - - -
Sorry and one more thing, I think this is a floral oriental.
Great start, OVincze! Warum, I'm sorry about your workshop, but please do begin! I will be back in a couple of hours to respond. Off to water exercise class for a bit...
Good morning, everyone. I arrived home yesterday evening and the samples were awaiting. Basenotes was down but I sprayed a little A anyway. I fell asleep at 7PM so I need to re-test today when I am a bit more alert.
My vague recollection of A is that it is a bit old-fashioned. There is a slightly bitter and herbaceous smell soon after you spray it. But the strongest impression for me is musk. Overall, I could not say I like it much. Also, I would be very surprised if this were an expensive perfume. I will re-spray now and wait for others to wake up.
I agree with Dd a lot. Sorry guys but today I will be off and on. Tomorrow I can try to come in for a few but that is it, not sure. I need to think about this more, I could be wrong about things.
Good morning OV. For me, today is the day when I have the most time. I need to unpack, clean the house etc, but overall I am quite free. On weekend, I am not going anywhere but we need to buy food and others.
On Monday, I am starting my new job. Most likely, I will not log in from there, but I will definitely sniff my arm and make mental notes when no one is looking. I am sorry that timing is such an issue this time. But we will work it out somehow even if it takes longer.
Also, I forgot to thank Haunani for the cute pouch. I will use it to carry my lipstick and avoid searching for minutes in my disorganized bag.
Now, about A. Let's follow Haunani's suggestions.
The color of A is almost perfectly clear.
It is not very sweet, but the longer it stays on skin, the sweeter it gets. It is never a gourmand or a truly sweet perfume though.
In my opinion is is an EDT. Fairly thin and relatively light. However, there is a chance I cannot smell all of it. I believe it has a lot of musk and I may not be able to smell it fully.
I cannot really say how much it changes over time, as I did not have it on my skin for long. But I think it does change. It becomes a bit sweeter and the "herbal" note I mentioned disappears quickly (it might in fact be because the perfume itself is a bit older?).
Quite certain it is feminine.
Not very modern, maybe from the 90's?
I will think more about the what do you like, dislike about it part. Actually, what I dislike is the association with white musk, drugstore type of perfumes and the sharp opening.
As I sort of mentioned before I dislike the same things as you do Dd, I truly dislike the opening, which is extremely sharp like sort of being hit in the head with it. And to me it does smell very sweet but yes it smells really sweet later on. Could be EDT, I guess EDP but then I sort of thought I could be wrong. There is something I am really anosmic to in it as mentioned before. Is it that it is that much white musk? I am not sure as I usually like musk but perhaps it is a bit too much. There are white flowers in it that I really do not like. I am sort of rethinking my ideas about the base now and wondering if there is benzoin? I was not quite sure about the sandal at first and/or the vanilla. What do you think about the amber Dd? Unfortunately I have no time today, gotta go pretty soon, sorry everyone. I really want to respray it and sniff again, will see if I can come back in the middle of the night and check in with you guys.
- - - Updated - - -
Oh and yes the cheapish smell I described like you said Dd sort of a drugstore type of perfume.
I'm here to play... just visually sniffing all your words.....
Good morning! Co-host here. The sun shines, hot coffee, and Basenotes is up—all is well.
Notes gotten for sample A: rose, sandalwood, vanilla, musk (white musk re: notes), and (clear) jasmine. There are two more floral notes, one is lily-ish.
Here's a question to ponder, where do you think this scent comes from, and is the house primarily fragrance or something else?
Happy sniffing. I will be in and out throughout the day.
What do insomniac perfumers do to fall asleep? They count chypres!
Good Morning! I see that the forum is back and that sniffers and cohost are checking in. Hooray! I will catch up now...
Good morning, hosts!
I think this perfume could be maybe from Victoria's Secret or Avon or Coty, or something similar. So, in other words not necessarily a perfume house.
- - - Updated - - -
As OV mentioned, the base gets a bit sweet. Is there also vanilla? Or are we only missing the two florals?
As another flower, maybe muguet?
You sniffers are good! I see that we've identified several notes, listed again here:
I think we'll wait until two of you guess any additional notes before we confirm.
Our lovely co-host asks some good questions. What kinds of companies make fragrances like this one?
Also, both sniffers notice something sharp/bitter/possibly herbaceous in the opening? I will confirm that there is an herb or spice in there to identify, along with the two other floral notes that Jujy54 mentioned.
Oh, and I have to agree with both sniffers in their assessment that this is cheap or cheapish, and that it has a rather old-fashioned quality!
Hello to mumsy, and where is our Warum this morning?
I sent in a tentative guess. If not correct I will try to smell it on paper. It lasts well on skin, but it has very low projection.
Wow! We already have a correct guess! Darkdreams has nailed it on her first guess. It helped that she also identified the herbal/spice note we discussed. Congratulations!
Let's give our other two sniffers a chance to ponder this, before we name that additional note or move on.
OVincze, if Warum and Darkdreams want to move to Sample B later, shall we go ahead? Or, sniffers, since OVincze can't be with us at all this weekend, should we reconvene on Monday for Sample B? Jujy54, what is your availability?
- - - Updated - - -
Another thing to think about with this one: Is there an additional something that helps to make that sharpness in the top notes? Something that may not be listed, but may help to identify the type of floral fragrance (it's not classified as a floral oriental, by the way).
Last edited by Haunani; 13th July 2012 at 04:24 PM.
Either option works for me on B. I sprayed a little bit on my arm, but I still have A on and I am coloring my hair with henna, so the smell I get is quite adulterated. I will not say anything about B until everyone can join in.
Saturday afternoon is good, as is Sunday afternoon. I may go out Sat night for a drinkie, and I'm off to see the Cleveland Orchestra at Blossom on Sunday nite; Bernstein + Gershwin = irresistible to this American Jewess (:

A-ha, I see that there's a list of notes... nope, I am not looking at it yet, but I have already started and I will post my first impressions. Then I will wait a little bit before the drydown and will complete, then reread. I don't want to have the notes confirmed.
... out of a pretty pouch I got the sample with clear almost white liquid and sprayed in my journal and then on my arm. What will that lovely guy from the top picture bring me? Isn't he knocking at my door?.. My journal is afraid that he does not really know my tastes. The top notes smell like one of those low-end designer fragrance which smells like the one next to it and the one across from it, too. Some kind of generic citrus, a lemon drop made with a poor quality base. Lemon-sugar-hard cider... oh, frooty. The my journal stopped talking to me at all. All I could smell was its paper. My skin first gave me a blast of alcohol. Come on, buddy. I do not drink THAT. I use that to clean. Did you think my house isn't clean enough? You haven't been in, and might not ever enter, if this is how things are going. Well, maybe not. I can smell some of your flowers finally -- still with fruit, well, that's better than rubbing alcohol, whaaat? A little powder? Well, that's better, but will it stay?.. I see what you brought me, young man. It is some fruit and flowers made from turkish delight, cut out crudely, the way a child would. I should have known. You're knocking at my door earlier than it is decent to make visits. I am sorry, I'm not at home. Bye!

Oh, Warum, you have me giggling! Would you believe that there are no citrus notes listed? Three of you, including our co-host, have thought they've smelled citrus! You are the first one to use the term "frooty," but otherwise your general impression is pretty much in synch with those of the rest of us. :-)
What flowers do you smell, and what do you suppose is causing that initial blast and/or the powderiness?
Oh, and I'm glad you all like the flowered pouches. I couldn't resist getting them for you all, and one for myself!

H., I am surprised and not, at the same time. So often it happens that we all smell something -- and that effect is done by another note. So I need to think of what could be the citrus I'm smelling -- theoretically, it can be some green/citrus note, like melissa or lemon verbena. I'll spray again on paper and smell in a sec.
As for the powdery, didn't Wolfie say that powdery is iris+moss? This perfume doesn't seem to be old enough to have oakmoss. I may have not remembered correctly the formula she told us.
Flowers. For a sec I thought I smelled ylang-ylang, at the height of most powderiness it had a slightly banana note like ylang does. Clean jasmine. And I guess since I said rakhat-loukoum and it contains rose water -- rose... BTW, Ju, I still owe you some Loukhoum by KM, I did not forget!
- - - Updated - - -
The drydown starts to get musky, the top on the paper is very much an alcohol blast -- and then something slightly well... fruity and fresh at the same time. Will need to meditate on these top notes again when the drydown off my arm is not so much in the way.
- - - Updated - - -
Definitely smelled banana on paper in the heart notes, still stumped with the top note -- or cannot get it from the alcohol smell. It reminds me most of Mariella Burani -- they say it smells like #5, but it doesn't to me because of this frooty vibe. It tries to be classic, but it is not. Eau Premierre does the same to me, please excuse the fans of that one.

heh, Warum, I thought lemon drop, too, which always signifies cheep to me, well, unless some really peppery basil were to accompany it.
Oh, yeah the Loukhoum! I must have 100 vials of this and tha in my house. This has been my Big Spring and Summer of sniffing. I'm also doing a Weil pass around. If I'm generous and fill my 2 ml vials, it could make it's way around to quite a few, tho I think 5 are signed up already.

Your mention of Mariella Buriani is interesting for several reasons! One is that it was OVincze's first guess.
(Ooh, J, I like the sound of lemon and peppery basil. Isn't that what's in L'Eau de L'Artisan? Love that stuff!)

I am not sure what makes this and #5 be in common, but both have a floral I am smelling not from my arm but from the paper right now -- LOTV.

Muguet/Lily of the Valley
On the inexpensive side.
Listed notes not yet identified: one more floral note, one more wood note, and the aforementioned spice/herb. All three are fairly hard to pick up from sniffing, IMO.

Warum has now correctly identified Sample A! Congratulations!!!
OVincze, if you are able to check in again today (tonight for you), please let us know if you want us to reveal A or give you more time with it.
Do you all think we should wait until Monday to continue, as we know OV is unable to be with us this weekend? W, DD, and J: please let me know your availability and your opinion regarding how to proceed!

Darn it! I can't seem to start a new post. Perhaps the software automatically does an "edit" when the last person posting in a thread posts again??? This happened even after I tried logging out and logging back in!

Whew, sample A is conquered.
I am not sorry that I turned the pretty youth away from my door, but I am looking forward to another visitor
I can do EVERYTHING. Weekend (not all day but some time in the afternoon and evening, times not set, I can be flexible). Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday -- all day. I'm easy!

Good job, Warum!
I already sprayed B and I like it much more than A, so who knows? Maybe you'll want to open the door this time.
Tonight, I need to go out to buy some food. I will be available both on Saturday and on Sunday, but most likely not all day. On Monday (And in fact through the entire week), as I mentioned, I will only be available in the evenings.
Well, let's take B leisurely, then, over the weekend AND on Monday. Give it some thought, post your impressions and discussion as you'd like, and we won't rush the confirmations. I like it much better than A, too, DD. :-)
OVincze, if you get a chance, please do let us know how you feel about having us reveal the identity of A.
So we're not doing B today and I can use another arm to try some samples that just arrived in the mail?
~***~January Blind Sniff ~***~February Blind Sniff~***~March Blind Sniff~***~April Blind Sniff~***~July Blind Sniff~***~September Blind Sniff Acquired Tastes~***~October Blind Sniff Unpresentables~***~
I haven't sprayed B yet! I'll wait for OV or tomorrow, whichever comes first

Hi everyone,
Things have gotten really hectic here. Sorry for not being able to check in last night. I will try to guess now but otherwise you can reveal it. I too thought powdery. Yes powdery can be iris and moss agreed, moss is likely to me as well, also I initially thought muguet and not lily... no guess yet. If it is a problem then you can reveal, I am really sorry but over the weekend I am extremely busy with guests and will have no time till Monday, hope you can understand. Have a great weekend everyone.
Hi O! I'm glad you checked in. We'll wait a bit for you to guess, and then reveal Sample A later today. However, let's wait until Monday to officially start Sample B. However, W and DD, please feel free to spend some time with Sample B this weekend, and J and I can respond to your comments! DD starts a new job on Monday (best wishes!), and can't join us until evening.
You are right about the muguet, but there is not moss or iris. The bit of powderiness is caused by something else, I think something not listed among the notes. One hint for you: There is a spice/herb that has not yet been revealed we use the leaves and the seeds of this plant in cooking. In the case of this perfume, I believe the seeds were used.
Hi ladies. I am getting ready to try sample B. But I may have sprayed C by mistake. Not sure...
Update! A spectator has correctly guessed the identity of Sample A! Congratulations to RainDropSparkle for her successful sleuthing, and thanks to her for playing along!
- - - Updated - - -
DD, they should be clearly labeled. There will be a B marked at the bottom of the atomizer. Eager to hear your impressions!
I am remiss not to take note of Haunani's elegant presentation, with a beautiful note and the darling floral zip pouch. Just lovely!
What do insomniac perfumers do to fall asleep? They count chypres!
Some first impressions about B. It is again clear. It seems fairly strong, so it could even be edp.
I believe it is a higher end designer, the kind that might be sold in a department store. The flowers are much more evident than in B. It does not seem terribly original or ground breaking, but good nonetheless. It strongly reminds me of something I have smelled before but I can;t remember it at all. I am sure it is feminine.
I cannot say I necessarily smell any specific citrus but there is something. The first flowers I would like to suggest are violet and rose.
~***~January Blind Sniff ~***~February Blind Sniff~***~March Blind Sniff~***~April Blind Sniff~***~July Blind Sniff~***~September Blind Sniff Acquired Tastes~***~October Blind Sniff Unpresentables~***~
I think I would add jasmine. Maybe it is an edt after all. It disappeared almost completely by now.
Hi ladies. Nice to be with you all, just got our Internet hooked up last night, some of you know that we have moved, same town, two streets down.
B is very very nice, I want tons of it right now, no matter what the price is (I agree with DD about the higher end and will add that it might be over $65 for 50ml). Long lasting.
Now that Twolf is here, she is gonna whip us into shape in no time!
- - - Updated - - -
Here are some of DD's guesses about Sample B, in list form. What do others think?
Higher end designer
EdP or EdT
Twolf, you are really one of the sniffers, too, as you have a set of samples. Please feel free to play along. As you see, we're taking this one slowly so that OVincze will have a chance to participate on Monday.
I will add lemon (?), bergamote, musk and an yet unidentified wood.
God, dear God, please please please damn the blind dates. Forever.
...my friends set up that one for me. They did not know what will happen. And everything started out so nicely...
So he knocked on my door and I opened and looked outside. A perfumista and a guy who's wearing a lovely cologne! What a good start! A young man with a winning smile, smelling like some grass, verbena and lemon rind. His green eyes are shining and I almost fell and drown in this gaze. Trying to stop staring, I look aside -- and see a bouquet of flowers he is holding behind. Oh... should I not have looked? Did I spoil a surprise? His eyes give me a long stare, not green, grey, all of a sudden. He pulled out a bouquet -- what a strange bouquet. Violets, irises and one calla lily. Dark purple and bright white. Elegant, extremely elegant. Cold. Why did his stare get so cold?..
"Wouldn't you like to go to the Opera," he says. No matter what I do, even if I put on my best dress, I will not be able to match that bouquet. Help me God! I will stay the whole night at the Opera, suffocating both by the feeling of inadequacy and by the smell of powder and amber. Every one of these women is more elegant than I. All of them know what to do, what to say, how to smile.
God damn the blind dates. I know he will not call again.
- - - Updated - - -
Aha, DD and I both landed on a violet. And I daresay if Wolfie likes it, that confirms my iris guess (congrats on moving, surviving and getting online! Russians say that moving equals one fire and one flood).
Higher end designer, yes. Very refined, as you probably had gotten from my story. Very very refined and elegant. Somewhat subdued. Drydown lasts forever on me. DD, it may have disappeared from you, or it may have become a skin scent. I find the drydown very much of a skin scent -- but it is a skin perfumed with ambery powder.
It does have a pyramidal structure -- green/lemon verbena/lemon top, floral, mainly irisy heart and ambery powdery drydown.
I would also say modern, sheer, can be Prada style and aesthetics.

Ah, more guesses from DD and a smile-inducing short story from W. I'm loving this! As we said, we will take this one slowly, but I will confirm two notes, lemon and violet, because two sniffers have guessed them correctly. We'll wait for more agreement before confirming other guesses, though three of you suggested that this is a quality designer fragrance, and I agree with that assessment.
Very impressive, all of you!
What a cute little story!
I agree with Warum on the iris.

The Erie BayHawks and Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine have established a new three-year partnership extension that includes LECOM being among the first-ever sponsors in the NBA Development League to secure logo placement on the team's jerseys.
Representatives from both organizations traveled to the NBA Store in New York City last week to unveil the new-look jerseys with NBA Commissioner David Stern and NBA D-League President Dan Reed.
|Representatives from the Erie BayHawks and the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) traveled to the NBA Store in New York City recently to unveil new team jerseys that include LECOM's wordmark placed below the numbers. The jerseys are part of a new multi-year partnership. On hand for the event are, from left: Dan Reed, NBA Development League President; Dr. Anthony Ferretti, D.O., orthopedic surgeon, LECOM; Matt Bresee, BayHawks team president; David Stern, NBA Commissioner; Dr. Silvia Ferretti, D.O., provost and senior vice president, LECOM; Owen McCormick, BayHawks lead local investor; and Dr. Pat Leary, D.O., FAOASM, director of sports medicine, LECOM.
"Our partnership with the BayHawks provides a practical resource for our Sports Medicine Fellowship at Millcreek Community Hospital as our physicians gain invaluable experience working with superb professional athletes; we see the jersey sponsorship as a way to enhance our partnership with the team by gaining national exposure for our college of osteopathic medicine and school of pharmacy," said LECOM president Dr. John Ferretti.
"It's very exciting to think about the exposure LECOM will receive in various markets across the country as a result of being on the BayHawks jerseys," Ferretti added.
The partnership, which extends through the 2012-2013 season, consists of numerous components including: LECOM serving as the team's medical staff, the BayHawks recognizing LECOM as the team's "presenting partner," community programs to promote health, wellness and education, and placement of "LECOM" on the front of the team's home and road jerseys.
"LECOM is such an asset to the Erie region and we're proud to continue what is now a long-term partnership with the entire LECOM family," said BayHawks president Matt Bresee. "The jersey sponsorship illustrates their commitment to the success of our team while providing LECOM with national exposure."
The 2010-11 season marks the first time the NBA is allowing sponsorship of Development League jerseys.
The Rio Grande Valley Vipers have also recently established a similar partnership with Lone Star National Bank in Texas. Both Erie and Rio Grande Valley's new deals have also been recognized in the latest edition of Street & Smith's SportsBusiness Journall, a national publication read by business executives throughout the sports industry, and on the USA Today's website.
Erie, the NBA affiliate of the Cleveland Cavaliers and Toronto Raptors, begins its third season in November. Season tickets and group tickets are on sale now and can be purchased by calling 814-790-5600.
The Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and LECOM School of Pharmacy offer innovative and affordable education in osteopathic medicineand pharmacy. From campuses in Erie, Pennsylvania, Greensburg, Pennsylvania and Bradenton, Florida, LECOM provides student-centered pathways to prepare the next generation of healthcare professionals. Prepare yourself for medicine as your life's profession.

She started out without any grand plans at the age of 19. "It was definitely the way in which people reacted to my work online, on Flickr, that convinced me I could make something of it…. as a livelihood," she states modestly. The reaction she alludes to could be described to as more of a global phenomenon as her Flickr page got over a million hits in the first six months year alone.
Natalie Dybisz has used a wide range of cameras during her career from a compact to a DSLR. However, recently she made the move up to a Phase One solution that she admits got her really excited. "The 645DF with the P40+ digital back produces images of unbelievable quality, with resulting shots that can be cropped in close and still retain poster-sized resolution".
The Surreal World She quickly began to analyse and to understand how to capture the Flickr community's attention with her distinctive, surreal, self-portrait imagery, which she has refined as her style has developed. She uses bold and arresting colours that she exaggerates in post-production. She acknowledges that the route that she has taken into photography, by displaying images on the Internet, means that her pictures are initially seen at a thumbnail or postcard size at their biggest. This means that there has to be something arresting about the image for people to want to click on it, to comment and want to see more of her work.
Her final images are often constructed from a number of composite shots to create scenes where she appears to be hanging, floating or falling. But these images, which she refers to as her 'Tricks' series are more than aesthetically pleasing images, as they refer to much darker themes of anxiety and depression flowing from the artist's own experience during the time when she first started taking pictures of herself. Like all successful, innovative artists she continues to find inspiration for her art in her personal life - images such as, 'An Exercise in Emotional Detachment,' that refers to how she felt when she first moved to London on her own and the aptly named, 'I Don't Feel so Safe Anymore,' was created after she had been burgled. A particularly poignant image titled 'For Tatus' was inspired by the memory of Natalie's father, who died when she was four years old and was made to commemorate his birthday.
But the reaction to Miss Aniela's self-portraiture isn't always universally celebrated. Her nude work, in particular, has certainly provoked controversy, with accusations that some images are demeaning to women. Her measured response is to simply say, "One person might see something controversial in my work and another just sees something visually interesting and sensual in a positive way". She recognises the fact that by putting her images on the Internet into a forum like Flickr, people will make their own interpretations and present her with their comments. However, she acknowledges that any debate has certainly helped her get noticed and refutes any suggestions of exploitation by stating, "Whether or not I succeed, I like the idea of subverting the male gaze, having a picture where I'm pulling the strings… and doing something dynamic with the female form".
The Real World It is now over four years since the online world was introduced to Miss Aniela's Flickr photo stream but it is only in the last two years that this gifted 24-year-old artist has been working professionally. She continues to pursue her personal projects and makes a living by selling limited edition prints and self-published books of her work. She has also embraced a number of diverse commercial ventures that include consultation work for large blue chip companies and she has a book about self-portraiture in the pipeline that should hit the shelves at the beginning of 2011. She also leads presentations and workshops on how to achieve the 'Miss Aniela-like' imaging effects (that include making a model appear to levitate) in the UK and as far afield as the USA.
Prospects look first-class for Miss Aniela but, while she intends to develop her self-portraiture, she is also determined to diversify into other creative media and plans to make a series of short films. She also seems destined to make a successful crossover from the art to the commercial world, with a number of forthcoming commissions for fashion and music clients in which she intends to let her fine-art blueprint come first and foremost. Her career is predicted to be full of interest and achievement. Whatever path it takes, the likelihood is that if you're not too familiar with her work now, you most definitely will be in the future. Look out for 'Miss Aniela' – she's certainly one to watch.
Natalie uses Capture One Pro software in post-production to process all her RAW images. "Capture One allows a swift workflow when batch-processing many similar images from a shoot. Being able to efficiently apply changes to a group of RAW images, and output them as maximum quality files, is important when I shoot commissioned portraits".
She used the Phase One kit to produce images such as 'Joyride', 'Jane' and during a collaboration with a fellow self-portrait artist Rossina Bossio. "I found the kit surprisingly easy to use, even more straightforward than a DSLR but with the amazing benefits of a medium format camera".

Corrections and Additions for Embassy Cruising Guide: Long Island Sound to Cape May (10th Edition)
New York Harbor
The events of September 11, 2001, forever changed the United States and New York City. Caught up in the midst of that horrific day was the North Cove Yacht Harbor along Manhattan's lower west side. Situated only a block from the site of the World Trade Center towers, the marina became a working arena for rescue vessels in the hours and weeks which followed. Without its regular tenants and visiting yachts, the facility eventually fell into disrepair and the marina's operators defaulted on their lease.
First, the Manhattan Sailing School came back to North Cove Yacht Harbor in the spring of 2002, flying American flags from the forestays of their fleet of instructional J-boats. And now a new management group led by America's Cup champion Dennis Connor has taken over the lease with plans in place to attract mega-yachts as well as smaller cruising vessels. While there are no shoreside bathroom and shower facilities, the location provides access to all that New York City has to offer within a short walk from the quay. For availability of berthing space and the latest news of the ongoing changes at The North Cove, call (212) 786-1200 or see www.thenorthcove.com.
Security remains a high priority, particularly in the New York Harbor region. Permanent security zones exist in the vicinity of all piers, cruise ships docks, the United Nations Building, and bridge structures. For the latest information on these restrictions, boaters should contact the U.S. Coast Guard at (718) 354-4191 or see www.uscgnewyork.com.
For users of our LIS 9th edition, all references to the Coast Guard facility at Fort Totten should be changed to Kings Point. The contact phone remains the same but the base has been relocated to the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy on the west side of Kings Point.
City Island & Eastchester Bay
The new phone number for the newly re-opened IGA market on City Island Avenue is (718) 885-3400.
On page 71 we describe the anchorage east of City Island as "City Harbor, also known as Hart Island Roads…" That body of protected water is correctly identified as "City Harbor" on the harbor chart on page 66 (as well as NOAA chart 12366).
Troy, NY (Hudson River)
The Troy Town Dock & Marina is now known as "Troy Dock." The new phone number is 518-272-6291 and e-mail is: email@example.com.
Western, Central, and Eastern Connecticut Coast
Heavy rains across New England in October of 2005, spawned by the remnants of hurricanes which battered the southern states, created more than just lousy weather for boaters in the region. Massive amounts of debris, including huge trees and building materials, roared down the regional rivers toward Long Island Sound in the runoff rain, taking with it many docks and pilings. Be sure to check with your favorite river stops, particularly on the Connecticut and Thames Rivers, when the spring boating season opens to be sure they're back in operation with the facilities and services you require.
Expanded "No Discharge" Zones
Department of Environmental Protection changes during 2006 expanded the no-discharge zone to cover coastal waters between Groton and Guilford (in addition to the navigable river waters from the Thames River to East and West rivers in Guilford).
These new rules expand the zone 35 miles beyond Eastern Point in Groton.
Stamford Harbor & Westcott Cove
On page 100 in the "Caution" paragraph and again on page 101, under the heading of Westcott Cove, the nav aid FL R 2.5s R "32" (note "2.5s") had been previously charted as a six-second flashing red light. Page 26 of the Maptech Region 3 Chartkit 12th Edition is no longer up to date for this buoy. The most current chart for the region is NOAA 12364 36th edition, corrected to 6/2005.
New Haven Harbor
The Dock Side Market & Deli has become a ship's store at the Oyster Point Marina.
Old Saybrook & Old Lyme
Under the "Restaurants and Provisions" information in the LIS 9th edition, the Saybrook Fish House has been replaced by a new brand facility, a new owner—NBA All-Star Vinnie Baker (an Old Saybrook native), and a new name: Vinnie's Saybrook Fish House. The phone number listed did not change. Vinnie's opened for business in early December, 2005.
Noank & the Mystic Harbor Entrance
Cruisers should note that the entire Mystic River became a "no discharge" zone as of August, 2005. Convenient pumpout locations are listed on pages 36 – 37 of the current Long Island Sound guide.
On page 244 in the "Caution" section, it should be noted that the 680-foot breakwater…still not charted by NOAA…has been built up to some nine feet above the water and should present a bold picture both visually and on radar despite the lack of chart detail. Inside the breakwater in the protected harbor is Spicer's Noank Marina and an expansive marine chandlery which rivals the national chain stores.
Mystic Harbor
The West Marine store cited on page 247 in LIS 9th edition is not across the street from Mystic Seaport. More accurately, it's located near the Mystic Maritime Aquarium and closer to I-95…a short drive but not walking distance from the marinas at Mystic.
The Mystic Marina (#20) listed in the Marine Facilities and Services table on page 245 and again on page 252 in the 9th edition is no longer. Five multi-million dollar estates are planned for the land with private docks.
Block Island
Visitors arriving at Block Island's Old Harbor (where the ferry ties up) for the first time since 2005 may be surprised to see new marina on the eastern corner. Ballard's has expanded its resort facilities to include facilities for cruisers with a new breakwater protecting the docks.
A major expansion of Champlin's Marina on Great Salt Pond was also planned for 2006…pending approval of permits.
Atlantic City to Cape May (9th edition pages 456 – 457)
At the bottom of page 456, right side, we mention "winding through Broad Thorofare…" (at New Jersey ICW Mile 75.3 to Mile 78.2). This previously closed route allows boaters to avoid the 25-foot bridge restriction approaching the north side of Great Egg Harbor Inlet, if southbound.
The channel in the thorofare has been dredged and ICW markers added to the route. Whereas the markers were previously discontinued at G "231," they now continue with a Q G 15ft 3M "233" at the northern end of Broad Thorofare and conclude with G C "251" off Anchorage Point (south of the 65-foot fixed bridge at Great Egg). The next series of ICW markers southbound begin with C G "1" as the inland route heads toward the bascule bridge and marine facilities at Somers Point. Page 59 of the Maptech Region 3 Chartkit 12th Edition and Charlet AA "Inside Thorofare to Margate City" on page 492 of the Embassy guide 9th edition are no longer accurate for this passage. Use LIS 10th edition or NOAA chart 12316 32nd edition, March/05 for this region.
Derecktor Florida Shipyard
On page nine of Embassy Cruising Guide Long Island Sound to Cape May, NJ, 10th Edition, the photo of the Derecktor Florida Shipyard is incorrect. The correct photo is seen below. The Florida facility is located at Dania, FL., and can accommodate vessels up to 184 feet in length.

text: In a talk titled "Word and Image in The Saint John's Bible," Father Michael Patella discusses how The Saint John's Bible—the first handwritten and hand-illuminated Bible commissioned by a Benedictine abbey since the invention of the printing press—can be read, viewed, and interpreted in a way that respects biblical inspiration and Christian tradition in our postmodern context. Father Patella, a professor of New Testament at the School of Theology Seminary of Saint John's University in Collegeville, Minnesota, also served as chair of the Committee on Illumination and Text for The Saint John's Bible. Father Patella considers this Bible in the context of the great Christian tradition of illuminated Bibles across the ages and also the fascinating ways The Saint John's Bible reflects third-millennium concerns. He spoke at Pepperdine University Libraries on Thursday, March 7, 2013.

I got a degree in Chemical Engineering but held a part time job as a PHP programmer the whole time. This has developed into a full-time job. I was wondering how having a Chem-e degree instead of a CS one will affect me progressing further in this career. Does anyone have experience with this and maybe some hints?
migrated from stackoverflow.com Aug 31 '11 at 14:20
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
I practiced as a mechanical engineer for 16 years before becoming a full-time software professional. I've been doing it for fifteen years and counting.
The plus side is that switching kept me in learning mode for a long time and gave me the chance to work with some terrific, smart young people.
The minus side is that I've had to stay on the learning treadmill and continue to upgrade my skills every day.
I always worry about all the fundamentals that I missed out on. Undergraduate computer science students were studying data structures and other fundamentals when I was learning thermodynamics and mechanics. I went back to school and took courses in some of those fundamentals, but I still have to work to shore up those deficiencies.
I picked up two Java certifications early on, but neither has been much help beyond what I learned about Java while preparing. No employer has ever asked about them. I don't list them on my resume anymore.
I'd recommend branching out beyond PHP. You've got to get past web programming; I fear that it's becoming a commodity. Learn some other languages and leverage your math background to expand your expertise in another domain would be my recommendation.
UPDATE: MATLAB is a terrific tool to know, but I would go beyond that. If you intend to continue with web development, you need to know HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, XML and Flex very well. You can't go wrong with a good working knowledge of relational databases and SQL.
I haven't even started on a server-side language. Java's my choice, but C#, Python, Ruby might be other good alternatives.
Best of luck.
My first degree was in Physics, I've been programming and doing protocol specifications since well before I finished my degree. Science is science, math is math, programming is just an area of applied math, so you can do it. The thing is, you need more and better languages. PHP is only one category of language, and while it's practical, there are things you can't do with it, and if it's the only language you have, you can't think outside its box.
Learn, at least, C or C++, Lisp (or Scheme), Haskell (brainteaser, but you will think differently about code... it's like learning category theory in math, everything is different afterwards), and Python. SQL is nice to have too. Read the key bits of an operating system kernel.
You have a much stronger math background than most CS graduates. Use it.
Don't forget that software development and engineering share many things. Development to an interface, application of Lean principles are two examples that spring to mind. There's no substitute for experience, so if you're already doing it, then there should be no real obstacle to you, and anywhere that puts obstacles up on this basis - well, you probably don't want to work there anyway.
FWIW, my first degree was in Engineering, and it hasn't held me back...
Its always your choice. If you wish to be a programmer then your chem-e degree won't be a hurdle. But you will have to put more efforts in programming, thankfully there are many good places to learn. It will also help you to go for some programming certifications.

"I recently came across Ancient Faith Radio by accident, in my search to answer some questions to myself and to defend myself to a friend who was bashing the Orthodox Church. The things that I have learned about Orthodoxy from this site are priceless. It has helped me to grow even closer to the faith and of course to grow even more as a Christian. I cannot thank you enough. I can't get enough of this site. I listen all the time!!!!! All the way from Greece!!!"

Early Lead Fades Late as Baseball Drops Rubber Game at North Georgia 5-4 in 10
February 24, 2013
DAHLONEGA, G.A. - Host North Georgia scored a two-out run in the bottom of the ninth and the walk-off run in the bottom of the tenth to steal a 5-4 extra-inning victory over Pfeiffer University in non-conference baseball action on Sunday afternoon. The Saints improve to 3-9 with the victory in the rubber-game of the series while the loss sends the Falcons to 2-12.
Pfeiffer got on the board with a pair of runs in the first frame as Aarin Sharpe delivered a two-run homer to left. After North Georgia tied things up with their own two-run blast in the bottom of the inning, Pfeiffer would take a 4-2 lead on a Saints throwing error in the fourth and a Cole McGraw sacrifice fly in the fifth.
Slicing the lead down to 4-3 with a run in the sixth, North Georgia faced their final strike before getting their two-out single up the middle to tie the contest at four apiece. In the tenth, a base hit and outfield error would lead to the Saints final and game-winning run.
Jon Gray led the Falcons offensively with a 3-for-4 day at the plate scoring a pair of runs. Sharpe and McGraw would account for the other Pfeiffer hits racking up two apiece.
Weather permitting, Pfeiffer will get back to action on Tuesday hosting Tusculum at Joe Ferebee Field beginning at 2:00 p.m.

Annie Mulligan / For The Herald
Lake Stevens senior Brooke Pahukoa, left facing, hugs a trio of teammates as the team celebrated their 48-43 win over Newport High School in Bellevue. Brooke Pahukoa scored 22 points, including four on key free throws near the end of the game. She also grabbed seven rebounds and had six of the Vikings' 19 steals in the game. Lake Stevens qualified for the state tournament with the victory and plays Davis High School of Yakima on Friday in Wenatchee.
Brooke Pahukoa and the Vikings did their best to make sure the band kept energized.
Pahukoa scored 22 points and the Lake Stevens defense had 19 steals to defeat Newport 48-43 as the Lake Stevens band blared throughout Newport High School in a Wesco-Kingco play-in game for the regional round of the state tournament Tuesday night.
"Our band showed up and I think they helped us a lot," Pahukoa said. "I have to go thank them later when I go to school. Their crazy energy let the other team get out of sorts. Thankfully, they helped us out a ton."
So did the Vikings' defense. Pahukoa grabbed six steals, as did her twin sister Brittney, and Lake Stevens helped force 27 Newport turnovers. The Knights committed at least six turnovers in each quarter.
The defense also held Newport's leading scorers, Anna Crabtree and Chiara Victor, to nine points apiece.
"We felt like we really had an advantage with our perimeter players and we did a nice job," Lake Stevens head coach Randall Edens said. "Because of their size, our guards really needed to help our post players out and provide a lot of on-ball pressure. We really got what we wanted."
Lake Stevens (18-7 overall) led most of the way, but Newport (16-9) -- which finished third in the Kingco 4A Crown league -- made the game exciting in the final minutes. The Knights hit back-to-back 3-pointers to cut the Vikings' lead to three.
Edens was worried that might be a turning point in the game for the home team.
"They hit back-to-back 3's which got all the momentum going their way," Edens said. "When that happens in a home gym, it's one of those things where you start to go 'uh-oh.' But we executed pretty well down the stretch."
Brooke Pahukoa made a pair of free throws to keep Lake Stevens in front and then added two more with less than 30 seconds to play, giving the Vikings a four-point lead.
The senior guard, who committed to Boise State along with her sister, said she had no nerves as she stepped to the free-throw line.
"Actually, no, I wasn't nervous at that point. It's exactly where I wanted to be," Pahukoa said. "I wanted to be the one shooting those free throws and I'm just happy they went in."
Pahukoa said her team supplies all the motivation she needs. A close-knit group, Lake Stevens wasn't ready for Tuesday night's contest to be its last.
"We're all really looking forward to making the season last as long as it can," Pahukoa said. "We have four seniors graduating and we're a very, very close team. We just don't want the season to end. That's it."
Brittney Pahukoa had nine points and six rebounds for Lake Stevens and junior Kali Long added nine points -- all in the first half. She had a couple deep two-pointers that helped Lake Stevens begin to pull away in the second quarter.
"Kali was critical early," Edens said. "She hit some perimeter shots. That really isn't her MO even though we encourage her to shoot those, and that kind of allowed us to settle down."
The Vikings aggressive defense helped account for a couple offensive struggles. Lake Stevens was 0-for-9 from behind the 3-point arc and was 12-for-20 (60 percent) from the free throw line.
But Lake Stevens overcame those struggles -- and 6-foot-4 Newport post Casey Schoenlein who grabbed 10 rebounds and blocked eight shots -- to advance to the regionals round of the state tournament for the fourth consecutive season.
Unsurprisingly, this is the Pahukoas fourth year at Lake Stevens.
"It's just that winner's mentality. It's how competitive (the Pahukoas) are and our kids feed off of it," Edens said.
After losing to eventual 4A state-champion Skyview 72-56 in the regional round last year, the Lake Stevens coach said that the four Vikings seniors -- the Pahukoa sisters, Mallory Gipson and Chelsea Pahls -- are eager for an opportunity to get back to the regional round (technically, the opening round) of the state tournament.
And then back to the Tacoma Dome.
"It goes back to how desperately Brooke, Brittney and our seniors want to get back (to state)," Edens said. "It's so important for myself and our kids to get them to the Tacoma Dome. They've just given so much to our program it's just such a huge, huge thing. That's what seniors do. They rise up in those tough moments and critical situations. They rise to the occasion."

The loss ended Mount Vernon's season.
Miles Witt and Casey Leek had 13 points apiece for the Bulldogs, who used nine 3-pointers to hang with Newport for most of the game. But Newport had four scorers in double digits, including Will Ferris who scored 12 of his 19 points in the fourth quarter as the Knights closed out the win.

Groovy is particularly well suited for writing a DSL: Domain-Specific Language. A DSL is a mini-language aiming at representing constructs for a given domain. Groovy provides various features to let you easily embed DSLs in your Groovy code:
- the builder concept lets you write tree structured languages
- you can add new methods and properties on arbitrary classes through categories or custom metaclasses, even numbers: 3.euros, 5.days, etc
- most operators can be overloaded: 5.days + 6.hours, myAccount += 400.euros
- passing maps to methods makes your code look like methods have named parameters: move( x: 500.meters, y: 1.kilometer )
- you can also create your own control structures by passing closures as the last argument of a method call: ifOnce( condition )
{ ... }; inTransaction { ... }
- it is also possible to add dynamic methods or properties (methods or properties which don't really exist but that can be intercepted and acted upon) by implementing GroovyObject or creating a custom MetaClass
Guillaume Laforge gave some thoughts and examples on that topic on his blog. John Wilson has implemented a DSL in his Google Data Support to make operations on dates easier.
If you have the need to write your own language completely, consider using a compiler compiler. There are many to choose from, e.g. Antlr, JavaCC, SableCC, Coco/R, Cup/JLex/JFl;ex, BYacc/J, Beaver, etc. See wikipedia for an interesting list. Some of these can even benefit from Groovy. Here is a groovy example for JParsec.
