Cross Country Teams Pull Out Top 10 Finishes at Eye Opener Invitational
September 3, 2011
SPARTANBURG, S.C. - Despite rain delays and stormy weather, the Pfeiffer mens and womens cross country teams toed the line together to begin the 2011 season at USC-Upstates Eye Opener Invitational. The womens teams were originally supposed to race first, but due to delays, officials decided to run the mens 8k and womens 5k simultaneously. The men finished tenth while the ladies concluded sixth.
Junior Will Oliver led the men with a 29:14 effort in the 8k race, followed by freshman Jeff McClure, who ran a 31:30. Zack Allen, a junior, finished third for the team in 32:23, while sophomore teammate Trey Sharpe came in two seconds later. Sophomore Cody Bivens rounded out the team score finishing fifth. The team scored 476 points overall, finishing in 17th place overall including division one squads.
For the womens 5k race, senior Kaitlyn Mullis led the team with a 21:01 finish, with freshman Megan Hunsucker not far behind, finishing in 21:27 for her first collegiate race. Fellow freshman Justine Serje, also debuting for the first time, finished third for the Lady Falcons with a 22:11. Junior Vlada Mouravieva came in less than forty-five seconds later while junior Rachel Biggerstaff rounded out the scoring finishing fifth for the team. Junior April Hinson and sophomore Nina Ubabuike placed sixth and seventh, respectively, for the Falcons. The team finished 13th overall with 418 points, and was 6th out of 12 Division II teams.
Both teams return to action next week at UNC-Wilmingtons Seahawk Invitational on September 9th at 6pm.

Connect to the wrong Oracle schema
When having 2 Sonar schema on the same Oracle instance, especially if they are in 2 different versions, Sonar can get confused and picks the first it finds. In that case, there are two known work around :
1. Remove the DBA rights to the Sonar users in oracle
2. Use sonar.hibernate.default_schema in sonar.properties to set the schema. In that case, -Dsonar.hibernate.default_schema should be used as well during project analysis.
Failed to start on Windows Vista
Sonar seems unable to start when installed under the folder "Program Files" in VISTA. It should therefore not be installed there.
Cannot connect to MySQL database
By default, remote access to MySQL database server is disabled for security reasons. If you want to remotely access to the database server from the Sonar Maven plugin, you need to follow this quick guide.
Windows NT service gives an error
SONAR-2175 - the temporary directory can't be located. You need to create new account and run Sonar service under it.
I have locked myself out
There is currently nothing that stops you removing from every user and every group the global administrator role. the global administrator role. You then have no other solution than make an manual update in the Sonar database to get back in control.
I am not getting expected new violations in the differential views of drill-down ?
3 reasons can explain this :
- This service only shows "Added Violations", not fixed ones. Therefore the number you see in this service can be different from the dashboard.
- The algorithm used to detect if a violation is new is very good but still perfectible. Therefore new violations can sometimes appear only because Sonar did not recognize it existed already
- You are looking at a period of X days which goes beyond the first analysis made after migration to Sonar 2.5. In this case there can be a discrepancy due to the fact that prior to 2.5, Sonar was not collecting the info necessary to build this service. This issue will disappear as soon as period does not go beyond first analysis.
How to remove false-positive violations ?
You can use the mechanism embedded in underlying rules violation engine (//NOPMD...) or the generic mechanism implemented in Sonar : Put //NOSONAR at the end of the line of the violation. This will suppress the violation.
The //NOSONAR tag is useful to deactivate all rules at a given line but is not suitable to deactivate all rules (or only a given rule) for all the lines of a method or a class. This is why support for @SuppressWarnings("all") has been added to Sonar.
I lost the admin password
In case you lost the admin password of your Sonar instance, you can reset it by running the following update statement :
This will reset the password to admin.
Maven analysis
What is the difference between org.codehaus.mojo:sonar-maven-plugin and org.codehaus.sonar:sonar-maven-plugin?
Here is the rational: Sonar need a Maven plugin to perform analysis of your project. This plugin is part of Sonar project so the name of this plugin is org.codehaus.sonar:sonar-maven-plugin because codehaus is hosting the project. Each time there is a new version of Sonar, there is a new version of the Sonar plugin. For a given version of the Sonar server, you MUST run the same version of the Sonar Maven plugin. It means that you would have to run
if you have installed Sonar 2.5.
As this is very annoying to type, you could add the groupId in your settings.xml. This way you could type:
BUT in this case the latest version of the Sonar plugin would be taken. As soon as Sonar 2.6 would be released, Maven would automatically use the plugin in version 2.6. If you don't plan to upgrade your Sonar server, it will fail. The answer to this problem is already well-known: define all versions of your plugins in the pom. So you would add:
in all pom (or in corporate pom). And you would have to update your projects each time you are updating sonar server. Very annoying but that's not all.
What if you have an integration/acceptance/pre-production instance of Sonar in version 2.5, and a production version in version 2.4? You can't analyse the same project with the two instances because you have fixed the version of the sonar plugin to version 2.5 in the pom. You may finally make it works with external properties or any other ugly hack.
The solution proposed by Sonar team is to use a bootstrap plugin. This plugin:
- is hosted in org.codehaus.mojo groupId in order to save the settings.xml configuration
- is supposed to be very stable (ie do not change for each Sonar server release)
When you run
Maven understands:
. The bootstrap plugin will query Sonar server to find its version, then fork a new build to run the normal plugin with
where XX is the version previously returned by the server. This way you can analyse the same project with different versions of Sonar and still running the same command line (except Sonar hostname of course) and without having to modify the pom.
Most of the time you need latest version of the boostrap plugin, so no need to fix its version in your pom, except if you want to test a particular version (an old one or a SNAPSHOT for example).
Maven mirrors : the maven plugin fails to resolve org.codehaus.sonar.runtime.* dependencies
Sonar embeds its own maven repository which is used by the Sonar maven plugin to download all Sonar extensions like pmd, checkstyle, findbugs, etc. If you get this error, it's certainly because your Maven configuration prevents Sonar from accessing its own Maven repository. Your maven settings.xml file must certainly contain a section called <mirror> which should look like this :
According to this section, Maven redirects all calls to the repository called 'nexus', so Sonar maven repository is never touched and Sonar maven plugin fails to resolve org.codehaus.sonar.runtime.* dependencies. Two solutions to solve this issue:
- If you have Maven version 2.0.9 or higher, just change the value of <mirrorOf> by
- Or configure your central maven repository (eg. Nexus, Archiva or Artifactory) to use the Sonar internal repository (http://sonar:9000/deploy/maven). If you use Nexus, take a look to the section "Declare the Sonar Maven Repository inside Nexus" in the Full installation in 5 steps.
Error resolving version for 'org.codehaus.mojo:sonar-maven-plugin': Plugin requires Maven version 3.0
This error means that you're using Maven 2.0.10 or Maven 2.0.11. Due to SONAR-1994, you must add the following lines to the pom.xml file :
Corbertura exception on Linux System while accessing the cobertura.ser file
When reading the cobertura.ser file, the Cobertura Maven plugin tries to get a lock on that file. This locking mechanism generates an exception on Linux Systems SONAR-172.
The current workaround is to add the following lines to the pom.xml file (thanks to Wouter de Vaal) :
The plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-sonar-plugin' does not exist or no valid version could be found
If you get this error message after launching the maven command line "mvn sonar:sonar" add the "-U" parameter to the command line. Maven will then update its local repository with the latest version of the Sonar Maven plugin.
If adding the "-U" parameter doesn't fix your issue, you've certainly encountered Maven bug MNG-4001. The only known workaround is to delete the org\codehaus\mojo directory in your local Maven repository. Of course, if your local Maven repository is synchronized with a repository manager like Nexus, this operation must be also done on the repository manager side.
Maven fails with an OutOfMemoryError
Increase the maven available memory by setting the environment variable :
Maven fails with a SecurityException
The message of the root exception is
The CGLIB library available in your Maven repository is certainly signed which is not the case on IBIBLIO repository. Perhaps you or your Maven administrator have signed this jar to include it into a Java Web Start application. Unfortunately signing CGLIB jar file breaks Hibernate's use of CGLIB, as it generates proxy classes in the same package (org.sonar.commons.database.* for our context) as the original class. But the original Sonar class is not signed and the new proxy class is, generating a java.lang.SecurityException.
You must also sign Sonar libraries in your Maven repository or used unsigned CGLIB library.
Maven fails because of Maven Enforcer violations
You have to add the parameter -Denforcer.skip=true to the Maven command-line.
Failed to resolve stax2-api artifact
The following error occurs when using Maven Archiva 1.1. It must be upgraded to 1.2.1.
Findbugs fails on timeout
See SONAR-1439. Findbugs fails with the following logs :
Add the findbugs-maven-plugin to the plugins section of the pom and configure the parameter "timeout".
Java heap space whilst running CpdSensor
Running CPD to find copy paste of source is a memory hungry process and requires sometimes too much resources on very big projects. It is therefore possible to skip copy paste detection by going to configuration -> settings -> Duplications
0% code coverage reported whereas unit tests are correctly executed
This problem occurs when using the Maven Cobertura Plugin and a special configuration of the Maven Surefire Plugin preventing unit tests to be forked. This problem can be solved by removing the line "<forkMode>never</forkMode>" in the Maven configuration file (see SONAR-1445 and MCOBERTURA-70).
My project only builds with JDK1.4
As Sonar can only run with JDK1.5 or higher, some configuration should be added to the pom.xml to indicate that the project requires JDK1.4:

Humanism to the rescue!
The real problem is not if infanticide is morally wrong for us, it sure is (I just take this for granted, if somebody wants to try to justify it please do, could be interesting). The problem is what we can do about it. Take away the children of the Indios? Take away their culture and autonomy? That might be very cruel as well for us, it bears all kinds of other dilemma, f.e. how can we inflict this kind of terror on the mothers and fathers? What if they wage a war to defend their traditions, and get themselves killed in the dozens do we want that? Might it maybe do more harm than good to follow the precepts of those evangelicals?
The dilemma it for sure does not bear is "oh noes, it is 'right' for them therefore it is also right for us (or we have to 'tolerate' it, meaning the same)" a typical brainless excuse (based on a very obvious fallacy) of moral relativists for oppression everywhere, from FGM, witch-hunts, child brides to the stoning of rape-victims.
In short: we know that this is wrong because those precepts for one violate the Golden Rule NOWADAYS, even though those rules might have had a "evolutionary" purpose in the past, the said infanticide for example enhanced the chance of group survival for the half-nomadic Indio-tribe, the women could not carry more than one baby and the men had to carry the household items.
Now however it is possible to use birth-control (something those Evangelicals who made this movie for example did not ponder) or the possibility to put their infant in an orphanage or foster family.
I'm in favour to introduce those tribes to this possibilities. I would also guess: most of them will agree to change the traditions if it does not contradict certain power roles and if they can afford it, all humans love their children.
Especially if it is presented to them by people who speak their language and understand their traditions and do not arrogantly dismiss them as "devilish" because they think they "own" morality because some guy a long time ago was nailed on a cross.
So, does one of you want to become a Humanist missionary?

The Lead
The Evolving Multi-Screen NetworkApril 17, 2014 | by CED
Multi-screen delivery has always been an element of the TV-Everywhere strategy. Over the top content and on demand content can all be prepped ahead of time; linear, live video is a tougher nut to crack. All that video processing has be able to be done in real-time, or close to it. The equipment necessary to prep video – encoders, transcoders, video management platforms – can be almost anywhere in the network, usually depending on where the content is stored, but all capabilities need to be in the headend to distribute over the top, on demand, and linear video.

Classes are defined in Groovy similarly to Java. Methods can be class (static) or instance based and can be public, protected, private and support all the usual Java modifiers like synchronized.
One difference with Groovy is that by default things are public unless you specify otherwise.
Groovy also merges the idea of fields and properties together to make code simpler, please refer to the Groovy Beans section for details of how they work.
Each class in Groovy is a Java class at the bytecode / JVM level. Any methods declared will be available to Java and vice versa. You can specify the types of parameters or return types on methods so that they work nicely in normal Java code. Also you can implement interfaces or overload Java methods using this approach.
If you omit the types of any methods or properties they will default to java.lang.Object at the bytecode/JVM level.
You can also use another class implemented in Groovy. e.g.
Make sure the classpath is OK.
Groovy supports plain scripts, which do not have a class declaration. Here's the hello world script
You can run scripts in the interactive terminal, from the command-line, in your IDE, as a Unix script, or embeded in your own Java code.
If you compile the above script to bytecode using groovyc, you get a single class named after the name of the script. e.g. if this was saved in Foo.script you'd get a Foo.class file.
You can run this Java code on the command line (assuming you're classpath has groovy.jar and asm.jar).
This will execute the autogenerated main(String[] args) method in the bytecode which instantiates the Foo class, which extends the
There's no need to use a Binding if you don't want to; Foo will have a no-argument constructor as well. Though using a Binding you can easily pass in variables. After the end of the script any variables created will be in the Binding for you to access in Java.
Scripts and functions
If you just want to write some simple scripts and need some simple functions you can declare functions without writing a class.
One difference from normal class-based groovy is that the def keyword is required to define a function outside of a class.
Here's an example of a simple script with a function. Note that if ever you need things like static or instance variables and so forth then maybe its time to actually write a class

The city of Houston stands to receive as much as $1 million in CenterPoint Energy rebates for installing LED traffic lights at more than 2,000 intersections across the city. The rebates are offered as part of the company's Commercial and Industrial Standard Offer Program, which is designed to reduce electric energy demand.
Traditional traffic lights use a 150-watt incandescent lamp, which releases 75 percent of its energy in the form of heat. An equivalent LED traffic light uses only 12 watts of power. Additionally, LED lights have a lifecycle of seven to 10 years, compared to one year for incandescents, resulting in lower maintenance costs.
"The city has already installed LED traffic signals at 300 intersections to date," said David Dzierski, senior energy efficiency consultant in Electric Operations. "The plan calls for lights to be installed at another 600 intersections by the end of the year. It's a worthwhile goal, because of the tremendous energy savings offered by the LED lights."

It's been a while since I've visited the jelly aisle of an American supermarket. But one thing I have etched in my memory from my childhood are the glasses with cartoon characters on them. Whatever marketing genius came up with the idea deserves more recognition than I can give here, but as a kid, we had to finish all our milk and "see Fred Flintstone" (whose visage was embossed in the bottom), before we could get on to dessert. And imagine where my career would be right now if I didn't comply?
As long as I can remember, drinking glasses were a give-away item in the states, from being packed in cardboard boxes with powdered laundry detergent to give-aways at the local gas station. And that tradition has crossed the Atlantic when a few years back 6-packs of blue-banded Orangina glasses were offered as a token with a fill-up on l'autoroute.

After being a modest hit for its first two seasons, the series' viewership dropped to an average of eight million viewers and a 2.8 rating in the 18-49 demo last year. That would usually put a series "on the bubble" but ABC gave it an early renewal. It was pretty clear that the network wanted to try to keep it going to accumulate more episodes for the syndication package.
Loading ...
The network assigned the series to a Friday night timeslot this season, hoping that the loyal fans would follow it there. Not many did. After cancelling Eastwick, they moved Ugly Betty to a better slot, on Wednesday nights. The ratings haven't been very good there either.
The show's fate seemed essentially sealed by Ugly Betty's syndication deal. While episodes of The Mentalist and NCIS: Los Angeles sold for about $2.2 million each in syndication, Ugly Betty episodes have been licensed to the TV Guide Network for "a low six figures."
Today, the network and production team made a joint statement, saying, "We've mutually come to the difficult decision to make this Ugly Betty's final season, and are announcing now as we want to allow the show ample time to write a satisfying conclusion. We are extremely proud of this groundbreaking series, and felt it was important to give the fans a proper farewell."
What do you think? Are you surprised that the show's been cancelled? What would you like to see happen before Ugly Betty goes off the air?

"Saturday night, and time for a little rock 'n roll!"
With that, Tom Petty tore into the rollicking guitar riff for Chuck Berry's "Carol," the first surprise of the band's second night at the sold-out Comcast Center outside Boston. Typically slotted for encores, "Carol" appearing in the first half of the show should have served as a not-so-subtle hint that Tom and the band were ready to rock.
My Morning Jacket once again got the night off on the right foot, opening with the gorgeous "The Way That He Sings." An epic "Gideon" followed, but the highlight of Jim James and company's opening set was the intimate acoustic trio of "Wonderful (The Way I Feel)", "Golden" and "Nashville to Kentucky."
The Heartbreakers delivered on Tom's promise of a little rock 'n roll with a dynamic two-hour set. "Mary Jane's Last Dance" and "Breakdown" both brought the packed house at the Comcast Center to their feet, and "First Flash of Freedom" and "Mystic Eyes" returned to the set after nearly a month-long absence!
East Rutherford's Izod Center is up next! Come see us and keep checking back for more photos, videos and more!

Today the papers are filled with articles about Muslim demonstrations round the world protesting the alleged Koran desecration at Guantanamo.
In all the articles I read, I could not find one mention of anyone protesting the actions of the 17 Muslims who killed each other.
At a rally in Beirut organized by the Islamic group Hezbollah, thousands of Lebanese chanted, "America, listen, listen, with my blood I will protect my Koran," according to news reports.
In Islamabad, Pakistan's capital, the leader of Jamaat-e-Islami, a religious political party, led thousands of Muslims in a march through the city's boulevards. The U.S. admission "that its soldiers were disrespectful of the Koran is a much more serious offense than its invasion of Iraq," Qazi Hussain Ahman, the leader, said in a phone interview.
I think reactions like these might be informative to those who are waiting for Islam to modify one day the dogmas in the Koran that call for death for this and that.

Prompted by this week's Newsweek cover story by Jon Meacham:
I believe this is the article that they were referring to.
Does Blackwell always stutter that often? It seems that his only rebuttal is:
"We've been down before and we will uh uh uh uh umm uh uh uh um um ummm uh uh come back again."
"We've been down before and we will uh uh uh uh umm uh uh uh um um ummm uh uh come back again."
Real honesty is accepting the theories that best explain the actual data even if those explanations contradict our cherished beliefs.-Scotty
Watched it last night. Blackwell is the typical tool. America is founded on christian principles blah,blah,blah… blah,blah,blah….blah,blah,blah
Hitchens told him that the founders and the documents are secular and if he does not know this he knows nothing….but nothing deters the delusional.
'Every reflecting mind must acknowledge that there is no proof of the existence of a Deity'
'If ignorance of nature gave birth to gods, knowledge of nature destroys them'

Rubio pushing reform agenda to tackle poverty
Wednesday - 1/8/2014, 10:44pm EST
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sen. Marco Rubio says the nation needs a new reform agenda to help the poorest Americans find work and help their families climb out of poverty.
The Florida Republican says in a speech Wednesday that money from the federal government to address poverty should be shifted to the states and Congress should reform the tax code to give people in low-wage jobs an incentive to stay in the workforce and not collect unemployment insurance.
The potential 2016 presidential candidate says a "big government approach" launched by President Lyndon B. Johnson's "War on Poverty" 50 years ago has failed to help enough Americans trapped by poverty.
Rubio says raising the minimum wage to $10 an hour may be popular with many Americans but that it won't help people emerge from poverty.

Abstract: The Texas Digital Library is a consortium of universities organized to provide a single digital infrastructure for the scholarly activities of Texas universities. The four current Association of Research Libraries (ARL) universities and their systems comprise more than 40 campuses, 375,000 students, 30,000 faculty, and 100,000 staff; while non-ARL institutions represent another sizable addition in both students and faculty1. TDL's principal collection is currently its federated collection of ETDs from three of the major institutions; The University of Texas, Texas A&M University, and Texas Tech University. Since the ARL institutions in Texas alone produce over 4,000 ETDs per year, the growth potential for a single state-wide repository is significant. To facilitate the creation of this federated collection, the schools agreed upon a common metadata standard represented by a MODS XML schema2. Although this creates a baseline for metadata consistency, there exists ambiguity within the interpretation of the schema that creates usability and interoperability challenges. Name resolution issues are not addressed by the schema, and certain descriptive metadata elements need consistency in format and level of significance so that common repository functionality will operate intuitively across the collection. It was determined that a common ingestion point for ETDs was needed to collect metadata in a consistent, authoritative manner. A working group was formed that consisted of representatives from five universities, and a state-wide survey of the state of ETDs was conducted, with varied levels of engagement with ETDs reported. Many issues were identified, including policy questions such as open access publishing, copyright considerations and the collection of release authorizations, the role of infrastructure development such as a Shibboleth federation for authentication, and interoperability with third-party publishers such as UMI. ETD workflows at six schools were analyzed, and a meta-workflow was identified with three stages: ingest, verification, and publication. It was decided that Shibboleth would be used for authentication and identity management within the application. This paper reports on the results of the survey, and describes the system and submission workflow that was developed as a consequence. A functional prototype of the ingest stage has been built, and a full prototype with Shibboleth integration is slated for completion in May of 2007. Demonstrators of the application are expected to be deployed in fall of 2007 at three schools.

Abstract: This paper presents results of a case study that addresses many issues surrounding the difficult task of preservation in a digital library. We focus on a subset of these issues as they apply to the preservation of scholarly articles encoded in current web standards. We also describe the two common preservation mechanisms, emulation and migration, as well as our selection of the latter for our particular case. Finally, we compare two approaches to migration, automatic and manual, and discuss their strengths and weaknesses in our context. We show that consistent use of open standards leads to more efficient migration processes and issue a "call to arms" to the digital preservation community to ensure that scholarly material currently on the web can be preserved for future generations.

Abstract: This paper describes the modifications to DSpace by Texas A&M Libraries to support an XML-based user interface. DSpace supports digital repositories composed of communities and collections. Each community within DSpace typically represents an organizational unit within an institution. To increase the appeal of DSpace as a digital repository to these communities, this project enables the establishment of a unique look and feel that might extend outside of DSpace into an existing web presence. We believe this may increase the adoption of DSpace by these communities.

Abstract: As a consortium of libraries from public and private institutions across the state of Texas, the Texas Digital Library (TDL) exists to promote the scholarly activities of its members. One of its earliest initiatives was a federated collection of ETDs from across the state. There are currently 16 participating schools in TDL, four of which are contributing over 4000 ETDs per year, and membership and contributions are growing. A diverse set of content contributors introduces the problems of inconsistent metadata and incompatible storage and access methods, making it difficult to offer effective tools and services. This influenced the decision to create a state-wide system for managing the entire life-cycle of ETDs, from the point of ingestion to final publication; pooling resources to address this common problem was appealing for both technical and economic reasons. In 2007, we reported on the status of the functional system prototype. This paper reports on the results of the demonstrator event that is taking place in spring 2008 at Texas A&M University and the University of Texas, and discusses the requirements for moving to a production environment. These include testing and scaling the system to handle the large numbers of users dispersed over a significant geographic area (Texas is the third-largest producer of PhDs in the US). Our intention is to embrace international standards for ETD metadata and policies as they continue to evolve through community efforts, such as the NDLTD union catalog of ETDs. Finally, we will examine the status of the project's release as an add-on component to a DSpace repository through the Manakin interface framework under an open source license. A primary design goal of this project is to create a product that satisfies TDL's requirements and provides a turnkey implementation for ETD management and publication that can be scaled for the broader academic community.

Abstract: The Texas Digital Library is a cooperative initiative of Texas universities. One of TDL's core services is a federated collection of ETDs from its member schools. As this collection grew, the need for tools to manage the content exchange from the local to the federated repository became evident. This paper presents our experiences adding harvesting support to the DSpace repository platform using the ORE and PMH protocols from the Open Archives Initiative. We describe our use case for a statewide ETD repository and the mapping of the OAI-ORE data model to the DSpace architecture. We discuss our implementation that adds both dissemination and harvesting functionality to the repository. We conclude by discussing the architectural flexibility added to the TDL repository through this project.

You Reap What You Sow
Mar 14, 2011 in Affiliate Marketing, For All Levels Of Expertise, Building Wealth, Working From Home
"…treat setting up an online business as
seriously as setting up an offline business.."
Like any business, the amount of hard work you put in now, will be proportionate To the dividends it will pay later. You reap what you sow.
There are fundamentally four elements all vital to the success of your online business.
• Possessing the right attitude
• Having a website
• Having a product/products to market
• Being knowledgeable of how to market your product(s)
This article is designed to address the second element: – your website.
Ready? Let's begin.
Do I Need My Own Website? Can't I Use A Free One?
A question I get asked often is – do I need a website of my own?
This is a GREAT question. When I started in this business I asked exactly the same. I had precisely ZERO knowledge of how to create a website.
The thought terrified me. I had the attitude 'I can't do that' (an attitude incidentally that I had to change and so will you).
It would be so much easier – so I thought – to use a website that I could get for free, and that was already set up for me. Particularly as there are so many free websites available.
Let me be blunt here.
Your website is integral to the success of your business. YOUR website, not somebody else's. If you don't spend at least a little time getting to learn the basics (which is the point of this article) you will be constantly nervous when working from home, as there will be a huge part of your business that you 'don't really understand.' Clearly you cannot operate like this. What happens when something goes wrong, or you want to make a very simple change to your site? Will you call up your technical person or your web buddy every time? Will you out-source all your web questions to someone else?
Your website is the life blood of your business. Get used to it. If you really are serious about making money from home, you need to get over your web fear. You will accomplish that with this article.
By the end of this article, you will have created a basic, fully functioning, Uploaded, published ON LINE website.
Let me repeat that. By the end of this article you WILL have created a basic, fully functioning, uploaded, published ONLINE website. It will not have the bells and whistles of advanced sites; to do that you will need expert help. But by following my step-by-step instructions in this article, you will create and upload your own 3 paged website. It's quite an amazing feeling the first time you publish something on the web for the world to see!
So, back to the question – do I really need my own website? Can't I use a free one?
It's true, you can get free websites. Many fully operational with products ready tosell already included. So why on earth would you bother going through all the Work to create your own website, when you can get a professional looking one –for free? What I am about to tell you, nobody in the business explained to me .I have one thing I want you to be clear on. The only 'free' website you will ever be offered is a 'free' AFFILITE website. Let's look at exactly what this is:
Free AFFILIATE websites.
Please do not be put off by the word affiliate. I was when I began. An affiliate – quite simply – is somebody (you) who promotes an existing product. An affiliate will sign up to a certain program, and will sell the products(s) from that program (be it books/clothes/seminars etc). As an affiliate you will be paid a commission on every sale you generate. An example. Amazon.com. A hugely successful business. But did you know you can get involved and sell their products if you want, by signing up to be an Amazon Affiliate (they call it an Associate – but it is the same thing). Then, through YOUR own website, you will sell whatever products you like of Amazon's. A personal note you can Create Your First Website Today http://www.DebtVanished.com
You may well have seen the Amazon logo on other people's website. If you click on this logo you will be sent to Amazon.com, and if you purchase the product that the website you were viewing was advertising, Amazon will pay you a commission. This works well for both parties; Amazon benefit because they have thousands of other sellers (affiliates) marketing their products. And the affiliates benefit because they have quality products to sell.
Of course however – right now – as you read this article, this is of little help, Because you do not actually have your own website. I can hear you saying 'all very interesting but how does this help me?' Let me tell you.
A lot of affiliate programs have realized that people do not want to go to the Trouble of creating their own site, and so a lot of affiliate programs now give away a free website when you sign up to become an affiliate.
This sounds great! Your own site already set up, fully operational and stocked full of products, and – what's more – the facilities to take credit card payments. No need to design a site yourself, source your own products etc. It sounds ideal!
Well, just hang on a moment. There are pros and cons.
Let's go through both quickly – as it is important you understand this.
Online Affiliate Marketing is HUGE. In 2010, the affiliate industry worldwide earned $9.5 billion. Tens of thousands of affiliates make money every day, and thousands of people have quit their day jobs to become full time affiliate marketers. It is a good business to get into, because you do not need any experience to start, and you can make good money by selling other peoples products. Another good side about using an affiliate website for the complete beginner – is that it will give you a 'web presence' immediately. This is vital to build up your CONFIDENCE (trust me on this – in this business you will need as much CONFIDENCE as possible, as there will be plenty of frustration coming your way too). It is very easy to get a free affiliate website up and running. Type in 'affiliate' in Google and just see how many offers there are.
No affiliate site will tell you what the BIGGEST problem of affiliate marketing is. To be fair – it is not their responsibility to tell you– but I want to flag this up for you immediately. The clue of what the biggest problem is – can be found in the title. It's called affiliate MARKETING. 'MARKETING'. A lot of people forget this. So you sign up for an affiliate program, and now you have a fantastic looking site stacked full of hot products ….now what? What next? The affiliate program does NOT help you market their products – you're on your own for that. This is why the majority of people do not make ANY money as an affiliate. Note I say the 'majority'. Sure – some people do make fantastic incomes purely as an affiliate, but these people work hard, marketing their site ruthlessly and taking their business very seriously.The problem is –most people believe that simply having a site full of great products – is enough. It isn't.
And it's for this reason that most people fail as affiliates. Nobody tells you this. It took me two years to learn. Getting a site stocked with products is only the half of it. And it's the easy half. It's the MARKETING of your site that takes the hard work. It's all very well having a nice site that looks great, but you need to master the skills to market your site (remember the four elements needed for success in this business). Another thing – that a lot of successful affiliate marketers do not tell you – is that they have spent years building a database of customers. They will market their new products direct to this list.
As a newcomer, you will not have this list. You will have to build your own list.
And building a list is a HUGE (but fascinating) topic in itself (not covered in this article, but further information on marketing your site and list building is covered in great detail in my weekly free newsletter – SUCCESS GRENADE) (which incidentally if you sign up for this eBook – you will also become a member of SUCCESS GRENADE) (Don't worry – put your credit card away – both are 100% free!!)

Take some time now and THINK about it! Then? JUST DO IT!

My favorite Italian fragrances are
Ungaro III
Lancetti via Condotti pour homme
Acqua Di Parma Colonia
Acqua Di Parma Colonia Assoluta
Thread: Best italian fragrance for men
Hi All,
Which is the best italian fragrance for men?
My favorite Italian fragrances are
Ungaro III
Lancetti via Condotti pour homme
Acqua Di Parma Colonia
Acqua Di Parma Colonia Assoluta
I'll definitely second Acqua di Parma Colonia. Although my favorite fragrance is Mazzolari Lui (also Italian), I have to say AdP beats it in terms of smelling very Italian or Mediterranean in overall feel. It's delightful.
AdP Colonia
AdP Assoluta
Lorenzo Villoresi Uomo
Lorenzo Villoresi Acqua di Colonia
Armani pour homme
Santa Maria Novella Colonia
Acqua di Parma Colonia also. The fragrance I reach for most frequently.
I second ADP and Ungaro III
Other suggestions would include Trussardi Uomo, Very Valentino, Armani and Versace PH
Laura Tonatto is propably the best italian perfumer for years and her creations for Carthusia and her own line are very italian - sanguineous, hot tempered and voluptuous!
Albi, Ré, Amir, Oltre and Carthusia Uno are great frags, IMO!
Mazzolari is another very good but quite expensive brand. Their Lui, Patchouly and Mazzolari (signature) are bold and extravagant scents, real head-turner.

I will further endorse Acqua di Parma Colonia, and add another favourite of mine, Baraja by Acqua di Biella
Last edited by Bartlebooth; 15th November 2009 at 02:05 PM.
The original Acqua di Parma Colonia (worn this for over a decade)
Villoresi Uomo & Mazzolari Lui (since coming to basenotes and can't imagine livng without them)
Antico Caruso is hardly 'typical' but just a great simple almond comfort scent
I'm also very interested to explore more of the Italian houses . . .
2012 Update:
Acqua di Colonia & Yerbamaté (very unusual) from Lorenzo Villoresi
Santa Maria Novella has a house style - personal favorites Fienno & Melograno
Lalfeorosa is also the one from O'Driu that appeals to me
Last edited by mr. reasonable; 30th May 2012 at 05:16 AM.
Lorenzo Villoresi (Uomo, Spezie, Vetiver, Piper Nigrum, Yerbamate)
Mazzolari (Mazzolari, Lui)
Profumum (Fumidus, Olibanum)
Trussardi (Uomo, Inside Man)
Last edited by Tonyprince; 15th November 2009 at 01:31 PM.
acqua di parma is probably the most popular Italian fragrance, and definitely one of the best.
others that come to mind are MISSONI UOMO(1983), GIANFRANCO FERRE FOR MAN
(the original 1986) GRIGIOPERLA( by laperla) and UNGARO I,II,III.
Villoresi Uomo
AdP Colonia Assoluta
FYI guys: Ungaro is a French company. Emanuel Ungaro is of Italian ancestry but was born in Province, France and his business is and always was based in Paris. I worked with his company in the mid-80s for about 4 years.
Lots of great recommendations already, and I also like Villoresi's Vetiver, Colonia (+ Assoluta) and Trussardi Uomo very much.
Not yet mentioned, and among my favorite Italian fragrances
Romeo Gigli per Uomo
Spazio Krizia Uomo
Roma Uomo (Biagiotti)
Fresco di Vetiver (I Profumi di Firenze)
The three Ungaros, I, II, and III, are very much in the French tradition of perfumery, and all three fragrances were created or co-created by the two doyens of French perfumery François Demachy and Jacques Polge.
This is a difficult question to answer really. It would require first defining and then separating the quintessential characteristics of the Italian tradition of perfumery from that of the French. I think the two are inextricably intertwined, and so it would take quite a bit of thought to answer the question accurately along these lines, if it were, indeed, asked along these lines. Of course, if it is more a question of which is the best Italian brand fragrance for men, then that's a different and easier questions to answer.
As to the best (beyond SMN): how about The Domenico Caraceni 1928 brand?
And whatever devil may have ridden the most famous perfume critic (of Italian origin !) when he wrote about that master in Firenze - Lorenzo Villoresi definitely deserves being named among the best! I also trust there is no doubts about his italianita...

'Il mondo dei profumi è un universo senza limiti: una fraganza puo rievocare sensazioni, luoghi, persone o ancora condurre in uno spazio di nuove dimensioni emozionali' L. V.
Acqua di Parma looks like the popular choice here, but I suggest Domenico Caraceni 1913
I believe its limited availability is a blessing and a curse...
Last edited by StylinLA; 15th November 2009 at 05:26 PM.
Versace l'homme is among my favorites.
Snarky is as snarky does.
Carthusia Uomo is the one I prefer the most.
My vote strictly goes to Lorenzo Villoresi and Profumum respectively for their Spezie, Piper Nigrum, Sandalo, Incensi and Thundra, Fiore di Ambra and Acqua di Sale.
So, yeah, there isn't just one best Italian scent for either gender.
PVC and Leather. A Chain and a feather
I can't believe it. I don't see one mention of 10 Corso Como which, is my suggestion for best Italian fragrance.
Moschino Uomo
Profumum Victrix
Eau d`Italie Sienne I`Hiver
Eau d`Italie Bois d`Ombrie
Bois 1920 Vetiver Ambrato
Lots of excellent recommendations here. I'll add
Versace The Dreamer, as well as a few from Etro: Mahogany, Shaal Nur, Vetiver, Sandalo
"I felt something so intense, I could only express it in a perfume." - Jacques Guerlain
I think Italian perfumery is characterized by a much more holistic use of materials, less blending, less abstraction, the ample use of hesperidic notes and herbs and an absence of animalistic, unwashed notes. Case in point Lorenzo Villoresi's approach as well as Santa Maria Novella's.
I think the Italian tradition is close to the English tradition, minus the lavender.

Eau d`Italie - Paestum Rose
My Top Six - Guerlain Vetiver, Santal Noble, Bois Du Portugal, Antaeus, GIT, Vetiver Extraordinaire
Who can resist Acqua di Parma Colonia?
From the designer shelves :
Ungaro I
Versace L'Homme
Pino Silvestre
Vendetta PH
Moschino PH

"the best" denotes choosing only the top rank:
Acqua Di Parma Colonia
Acqua di Parma Lavanda Tonica
Antico Caruso
Carthusia Uomo
I like Gucci Pour Homme and Nobile
I also love the old powerhouses of Fendi Uomo and Krizia Uomo
1. Benetton Sport
2. Lorenzo Villoresi Vetiver.
In this one thread alone there's several definitions of 'Italian'. Namely, is the company's history grounded in Italy? is the style of the range recognisably Italinate? are the perfumers Italians? and is the non-Italian company's marketing Italian?
In terms of aesthetics, Italian perfume to me means boldness, simplicity and high contrast over subtlety, complexity and gradation, which I find more to French qualities.
Last edited by Hide & Reason; 16th November 2009 at 09:08 AM.
In looking through some files I miss Italians in whatever lists of perfumers. Especially Bulgari seems to have engaged French perfumers too. Their fragrances are as Italian as Creeds could be called English. - Modern perfumes are loosing any kind of national character in our global world dominated by a perfume industry acting like one huge cartel tying producers, luxury brand owners, and their trading entities together.

'Il mondo dei profumi è un universo senza limiti: una fraganza puo rievocare sensazioni, luoghi, persone o ancora condurre in uno spazio di nuove dimensioni emozionali' L. V.
Acqua Di Parma Colonia and Assoluta are awesome, but I'm also a huge fan of the clean and fresh Iris Nobile as well.
Your nostrils, which will dilate immesurably in unspeakable contentment, in motionless ecstasy, will ask nothing better for space, for they will be full of fragrance, as if perfumes and incense; for they will be glutted with complete happiness, like angels who dwell in the peace and magnificence of pleasent heaven.
(From Maldoror by Comte de Lautreamont)
I believe CERUTTI-Image deserves a place here.
FENDI THEOREMA UOMO, scandalously no longer in production
Calé Fragranze d'Autore - Mistero
My best Italian-named, French-made fragrance by a French designer of Italian descent - Vintage Ungaro III
Uomo? Moschino
Acqua Di Selva has garnered some nice compliments. I often put some on after my lunchtime swim.
Lorenzo Villoresi
Profumum Roma
Nobile 1942
Profumo di Pantelleria - Most southern island of Italy.
Versace Man Eau Fraîche (in my limited experience)
Last edited by M.David; 18th February 2010 at 11:57 PM.
Vetiver The Great!!!
LV - Spezie
Eau d'Italie - Bois d'Ombrie
Santa Maria Novella - Melograno
I'm being very brave to select just one fragrance from each house since "the best" was asked for, with some misgivings as these houses are loaded with great options for men.

VANCEBORO —— Josh Cuthbertson doesn't just want to contribute in college. He wants to be a standout.
West Craven's senior feels he can be an impact basketball player at Division I
Cuthbertson signed his national letter-of-intent on Friday to join the Spartans, and compete in the Atlantic Sun Conference.

Cuthbertson chose
"Now I don't have to go into games playing for scouts," he said. "I know that my heart is set for
Cuthbertson, who is listed at 6-foot-5, is being recruited as a shooting guard and a small forward.
He doesn't mind where he plays, as long as he is on the court.
"Anywhere they put me, I'm going to go hard," he said. "I know it's going to be faster than high school. I know it's going to be hard work. I'm preparing myself now."
They finished third in the Atlantic Sun Conference, and won 21 games last season.
"The team is very competitive," Cuthbertson said. "They go hard every day in practice. They work hard in the weight room and in the classroom. They have a good chance of making it to the (NCAA) tournament."
Cuthbertson said one reason he decided on

The Spartans only have one senior on this year's squad. Once Cuthbertson arrives, they will have six seniors on next year's team.
Cuthbertson has high expectations for himself.
"I want to make it to the (NCAA) tournament, make a name for myself and make a name for
Cuthbertson, the 2011-12 Sun Journal Basketball Player of the Year, averaged 27 points and 11 rebounds per game last season. The Eagles reached the 3-A Eastern Regional Semifinals before losing to Rocky Mount.
He is looking for nothing less than a state championship this time.
"That's my main goal, my only goal," Cuthbertson said. "I know I have to be a better leader and contribute way more than I did last year."
Cuthbertson said one of the biggest reasons for his success was having the support from his parents, James and Wanda Cuthbertson.
"A lot of kids grow up without parents," Cuthbertson said. "I was blessed to have two good parents beside me that raised me, fed me, put clothes on my back. I'm thanking God for them being there for me."
