Only the vintage GG, which is hard to find.
I sprayed the new stuff on a woollen overcoat and it lasted for weeks.
That's it, that's all I want to know! I love this fragrance, but just wish it was a bit more powerful and longer lasting.
Only the vintage GG, which is hard to find.
I sprayed the new stuff on a woollen overcoat and it lasted for weeks.
Off hand nothing comes to mind. It's somewhat unique.
First off, if you have not tried the vintage version of Givenchy Gentleman seek that out as it is far superior to the current release that is a shadow of its former self and I think the vintage is plenty strong with excellent longevity. That said, if you have already tried the vintage and still feel you need something stronger and longer lasting in the same vein, seek out Giorgio VIP Special Reserve. It is discontinued and tends to cost an arm and a leg but it is worth it, IMO.
Current Top Favorites:
1) Portrait of a Lady original formula (EdP Frédéric Malle)
2) Giorgio for Men vintage/V.I.P. for Men (Giorgio Beverly Hills)
3) Dia Man vintage edt (Amouage)
4) Anat Fritz Original Formula and Classical (Anat Fritz) - tie
4) Lalfeorosa (O'driù) - tie
6) Les Nombres d'Or Vetyver (Mona di Orio)
7) Captain vintage (Molyneux)
8) Tzora (Anat Fritz)
9) Javanese Patchouli (Zegna) - tie
9) Monsieur de Givenchy vintage (Givenchy) - tie
9) Coeur de Vetiver Sacré (L'Artisan) - tie
9) X for Men (Clive Christian) - tie
9) Patou pour Homme Privé (Jean Patou) - tie
9) Oud Shamash (The Different Company) - tie
+1 On the vintage but the current one is very strong and long lasting.
Giorgio Beverly Hills perhaps. It's nice, massively strong and in the same ballpark. I own both but do prefer Gentleman.
Bond No.9 Hot Always bears a close resemblance to Givenchy Gentleman. It has notes of patchouli, russian leather & civet and boasts monumental sillage and longevity - 24hrs + easily!
I made the mistake of spraying myself 2-3 times with this in Saks, San Francisco in searing summer heat and had to pop back to the hotel to wash it off - I nearly passed out...!

I've heard that Etro Patchouli is very similar but stronger, haven't tried it yet.
I cant even imaging one stronger than GG.
Another vote in favor of the vintage formulation.
H.O.T. Always by Bond No. 9 is what you're looking for.
Current top 10:
1. L'Artisan Dzing!
2. Lorenzo Villoresi Yerbamate
3. Guerlain Bois d'Armenie
4. L'Artisan Al Oudh
5. Bond No. 9 Andy Warhol Silver Factory
6. Parfumerie Generale Bois Blond
7. Andy Tauer L'Air du Desert Marocain
8. Guerlain Derby
9. Geo F Trumper Eucris
10. Parfum d'Empire Ambre Russe
Davidoff Zino has a bit more going on and trades the leather for clary sage etc. But it definitely has the patchouli vanilla sandalwood thing. Vintage has very good potency and longevity . . . sometimes it's even a bit too much for me. I tend to spray away from chest, then it's wonderful.
Try Pachouli based frag... there are so many of them ... GO with Patchouli Patch
Thanks for the recommendations. I've ordered Giorgio Beverly Hills ,and Davidoff Zino at very reasonable prices. The Bond No 9 will be my treat when I go to New York as it appears ot be a bit more reasonable over there than here in the UK!
To my nose, there are some similarities between Givenchy Gentleman and Aramis Tuscany per Uomo. I like better Tuscany, it evolves much nicer on my skin.
"I love fragrances because they provide a sheer endless variety: there is a scent for every occasion, mood or feeling. Standing before my collection in the morning matching a perfume to my needs is one of the most enjoyable things in my day"...I don't want to miss that...
Current Top 15 Spring: | Dior Fahrenheit | L'Artisan Parf. Timbuktu | Dior Eau Sauvage Parfum | Tom Ford Grey Vetiver | T.Mugler A*Men Pure Wood | Cartier Must PH | Guerlain L'Instant | Narciso Rodriguez Him | Trussardi Inside | YSL Kouros | C.H. 212 on Ice Black | Versace Versus | Givenchy PH | Lancome Miracle L'Aquatonic | Azzaro PH |
Yeah, I'm sure you'll love the Zino & Giorgio - good additions to a collection containing Givenchy Gentleman and both long lasting powerhouses....especially the Giorgio!
I'll third HOT Always...also check out Mazzolari Lui.
Are you not entertained??? Is this not why you are here??
I was wearing Gentleman the other day, and had the thought that it's very like Black Aoud without the rose. You can't get much stronger or longer lasting than Black Aoud...
Perhaps Aramis...doesn't smell exactly the same but its in the same ballpark in terms of vintage patchouli attitude.
"It's not what you look like when you're doing what you're doing; it's what you're doing when you're doing what you look like you're doing."
Aramis 900 - for the patchouli and longevity, although I find there is nothing that compares to Givenchy Gentleman, it's unique.
Dang - the Givenchy Gentleman I got from Basenotes seller was a beast. I would want it any stronger. Must have been an older version.

Yes, there is, however it is a patchouli thermonuclear bomb: Arrogance Pour Homme. It's Italian and is available cheap on Ebay:
I just purchased a Vintage bottle of G.G. and it is very nice but doesn't seem to last long on my skin? Maybe I'm use to the strength of Giorgio?
From my vintage sample of GG, it was a lot more subtle than Giorgio, which is good for me. You've inspired me to wear GG to work tomorrow which I would do on Fridays only with Giorgio.

I'm wearing it at work today. It's pretty darned strong with just one spray from a sample decant. I'll think twice before wearing to the office again. Anything stronger would be fire breathing :-)

You may like to try Ajne- Savoir or Jovoy- Private Label plus one for Mazzolari Lui.
See my blog; http://www.basenotes.net/blogs/2645-kumquat
The vintage stuff is what you want and worth seeking out. I bought it on ebay about 6 weeks ago for a fair price; I suggest you look there for the real deal.
Etro Patchouly is nothing like GG............The Etro is not dirty (civet) at all and way more flowery and has a more prominent gentle patchouly. Imo a patchouly scent that comes way closer to GG, especially in the opening is The Elixer version of Reminiscence Patchouly.
GG is also not alike Tuscany per Umo which is pretty similar to Azzaro pour homme but softer and without the anise.
My Top '10' : (In no particular order)
- Dolce & Gabbana: Pour Homme (vintage)
- Pal Zileri: Cuoio
- Loewe: Esencia/Pour Homme/Solo
- Davidoff: Leather Blend Edp
- Revillon R
- MPG: Santal Noble
- Acqua di Parma: Colonia Intensa /Leather/Oud
- Knize Ten
- Annick Goutal: Ambre Fetiche
- YSL: Kouros (Fraicheur)
How funny! I was just mentioning this gem in another thread. I can't vouch for how closely it resembles Givenchy Gentleman, but I can say for sure that it's quite a compelling scent that I think deserves more love here in the forum. It's really worth giving a sniff, that's for sure. And while many Bond bottles look tacky, this one is great.
Anybody have a sample of Martin Margiela Untitled or Untitled L'Eau? I'm dying to smell these and I've got lots of great niche samples to swap!

1/31/14 Bieber's Toxicology Results
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, January 31, 2014
The toxicology results are in and it's official: JUSTIN BIEBER had pot and the anti-anxiety drug Xanax in his system when he was pulled over for allegedly drag-racing in Miami last week. We already knew Justin failed a field sobriety test . . . but we've also been hearing that he had very little alcohol in his system. Meanwhile, in a police report from Justin's arrest, cops describe him as, quote, "excited, talkative, insulting [and] cocky."
Miley Cyrus appeared on "The Tonight Show", where Jay Leno asked her what advice she would give to Justin Bieber. Miley's advice: "You've got a lot of money. Pay people to make sure you don't get in trouble, and party at your house. Buy a house, and add a club to it."
Reportedly, Kim Kardashian wants to put 7-month-old daughter North on "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" but Kanye West doesn't. Sources say Kim really wants to put North on the show and viewers and fans of the show want to see Kim interact with her daughter-- and how she is as a mother. Producers of the show also want the baby on the show because they believe it could help the ratings, which have been down. But sources say Kanye doesn't want his child to ever be on the E! show because he believes reality TV is tacky.
1/30/14 More Bieber Drama
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, January 30, 2014
We have no idea if all those rumors about BRUCE JENNER surgically becoming a woman are true. But the "Star" tabloid claims KIM KARDASHIAN and KANYE WEST don't want him in their wedding if he is indeed a woman . . . or in the process of becoming a woman . . . by the time they're ready to get hitched. It's mostly Kanye though. A source says, quote, "He told Kim that if Bruce is not a guy on the day they tie the knot, he doesn't want him to be part of the ceremony."
If you start a petition on the official White House website, WhiteHouse.gov, and it gets 100,000 signatures within 30 days, then the White House WILL respond to said petition. And that means that the White House now has to wade into the issue of whether or not to DEPORT JUSTIN BIEBER. Because last week, someone started a petition to deport him and revoke his green card. And it got those 100,000 signatures in SIX DAYS.
The Bieber Saga continues…Prosecutors in Toronto have charged Justin with CRIMINAL ASSAULT for allegedly beating up a limo driver back in December. The driver was reportedly hit in the back of the head several times while taking Justin and his posse to a hockey game. We're assuming Justin was the assailant, since he was the one charged. Justin turned himself in yesterday, and was released.
Meanwhile, in Miami, Justin's lawyer entered a NOT GUILTY plea to the charges he's facing there: Driving under the influence, driving with an expired license and resisting arrest.
1/29/14 Sienna Miller Cheating Scandal
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, January 29, 2014
A GoDaddy Super Bowl ad will have a woman quitting her job LIVE on TV. GoDaddy says, quote, "Her boss doesn't know! . . . After the commercial, a formal resignation letter will be delivered, and she'll give her two-week notice."
BILLY RAY CYRUS thinks he knows what JUSTIN BIEBER needs. He says, quote, "I would just invite him to come down and chill out with me, maybe in Tennessee. Let's go up to the teepee, build a fire, step away and just, you know, maybe take a break for a little bit, just think about what's important. Get back to life . . . Build a fire, count the deer and the hawks and relax a little bit."
Justin Bieber is reportedly moving out the posh Southern California neighborhood he's been terrorizing. TMZ says the Bieb "has had enough of suburban life" and that the egging incident and the Sheriff's raid on his Calabasas home were the "final straw." No word on where he's moving to, but you can be sure whoever his new neighbors are, they won't be happy about it. Meanwhile, prosecutors in Justin's egging case have asked for further investigation.
Jude Law wasn't the only person being unfaithful during his relationship with Sienna Miller. Turns out she was cheating with Daniel Craig. The revelation came out when News of the World reporter Dan Evans testified that he eavesdropped on the James Bond star's voicemails while under pressure to produce a front-page story. Evans said he heard a message from a woman calling from a number he later verified to be Sienna's. She allegedly told Daniel, "Hi, it's me. Cannot speak. I'm at the Groucho [Club] with Jude. I love you." Sienna and Jude eventually split after it was discovered that he had an affair with his children's nanny.
Getting beat up by Kanye West is a lucrative business. TMZ says Yeezy has agreed to pay the young man he pummeled inside a Beverly Hills chiropractor's office earlier this month more than $250,000. Sources say the man -- who allegedly hurled racial epithets at Kim Kardashian -- "now feels satisfied enough that he won't go forward with a criminal prosecution." The D.A. had not charged Kanye with battery, and now there's little chance of that happening. So case closed.
1/28/14 Kimye's Wedding Plans
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, January 28, 2014
STEVEN TYLER apparently doesn't think JUSTIN BIEBER is doing anything wrong. Asked if he had any advice for Justin, Tyler noted that he's the biggest pop star in the world and was riding in an expensive car with a gorgeous woman. Therefore, Tyler's "advice" to Justin was, quote, "Nice going."
This might be hard to believe but, during a meeting of the National Automobile Dealers Association, HILLARY CLINTON admitted that the last time she actually drove a car herself was in 1996. That's 18 years ago.
RadarOnline claims KIM KARDASHIAN and KANYE WEST'S wedding is happening in France this June . . . and that it will be TELEVISED. Supposedly, it'll air as part of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians", so the E! network will be picking up "most" of the bill . . . not that Kim and Kanye would need any assistance in that regard. An "insider" says, quote, "Kim persuaded Kanye to let the cameras roll because . . . it's a lot easier for a network to deal with logistics of a foreign wedding than if it were just the two of them planning it."
Denise Richards has decided to move out of her home after her ex-husband Charlie Sheen threatened to evict her and their two daughters. Apparently, Charlie's porn star girlfriend wanted Sheen to evict her from the home because she is jealous. Sheen bought the $7 million dollar house for Richards and their daughters. He also lives in the same gated community. Sources say Richards is going to move out and is already looking at other homes to lease or buy.
1/27/14 Justin Bieber Intervention
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, January 27, 2014
KRISTEN STEWART has an interesting item on her bucket list. She says, quote, "I'm definitely going to shave my head before I die. I will definitely tattoo my head while it's shaved before my hair grows back. I'm not sure which part, probably the bottom quadrant in the back. I don't know what the tattoo would be, yet. Still thinking."
Police were called to an Australian hotel Thursday night, after the smoke detector in one of the rooms went off. But it turned out that was SNOOP DOGG'S room . . . and he was just, you know, doing what Snoop do.
JUSTIN BIEBER flew to Panama over the weekend where, according to the Internet, his family and friends staged some sort of "intervention." Or something. Supposedly, Justin's dad flew there with him and the guest list also included: His mom . . . Justin's manager Scooter . . . USHER . . . the producer of his "Never Say Never" documentary . . . and Justin's so-called "best friend," Ryan Butler. While it's interesting that all these people gathered together with Justin . . . in Panama, no less . . . there's no evidence that an actual "intervention" took place. But it does seem like it was more than just a vacation. By the way, the girl who was with Justin when he was arrested, CHANTEL JEFFRIES, also made the trip to Panama.
They hung out together on the beach, but it's unclear whether or not they're dating.
JUSTIN BIEBER'S DUI arrest last week can't be swept under the rug . . . yet . . . but some of the details may not have been as bad as you may have heard. For starters, some "source" tells CNN that Justin blew .011% and .014% in two Breathalyzer tests at the police station. That's significantly below the general .08% legal limit. Since Justin is under 21 . . . that doesn't even really matter. But still, even Florida's "zero tolerance" law for underage drivers requires a reading of .02%. So .011% is a barely measurable amount. So maybe Justin wasn't legally drunk . . . but he did admit to also smoking pot and taking prescription meds . . . and he FAILED a field sobriety test. So he probably WAS driving under the influence, and he probably WAS too impaired to drive. Also, even though Justin was not charged with speeding, the arresting officer said that was his reason for stopping Justin and testing his sobriety. However, the head of the exotic car rental company that owns the yellow Lamborghini Justin was driving told CNN that the GPS tracking system in the car indicated that Justin didn't exceed 55 miles-per-hour in the 15 minutes before the stop. Justin was stopped in a 30 mile-per-zone . . . so even if he WAS speeding, the notion of it being a "drag race" is being called into question. In fact, the car's GPS said Justin was "steady" at between 27 and 34 miles-per-hour on that road.

Breed Group:
The Balinese is a member of the Semi Longhaired (Longhaired Siamese) Group. Category I, Established (TICA Standards).
2.5-5 kg. (6-11 lb.)
The Bslinese has a medium-sized body.
The coat is pale on the body. Point colors include seal, chocolate, blue and lilac.
The Balinese wears a medium-long (semi-longhaired) coat that is soft and fine. This flowing single coat with hairs ½-2 inches long lies flat close to the body. The tail looks like a tapering plume.
This sociable cat gives an impression of elegance and refinement. The inquisitive Balinese is curious about household items.
Country of Origin:
United States
In the U.S., longhaired kittens bearing a Siamese coat pattern with a silky texture were born. Many kittens appeared fluffy. Ms. Marion Dorsey of California bred cats as the Longhaired Siamese. After protests by Siamese breeders, these cats became known as Balinese because their movement seemed like exotic Balinese dancers.
Balinese refers to exotic Balinese dancers. Sometimes known as Javanese in the U.S.
This energetic cat has an adventurous spirit that likes to be where the action is. The Balinese can make great escape artists. Its tubular body allows contortion. This cat likes to chat, and often engages humans in conversation.
The playful Balinese can learn how to retrieve.
Provide both mental and physical stimulation for this very active cat. With a high energy level, the Balinese wants to keep busy with its humans. This cat likes to sit on laps or lie across people's shoulders. Having another cat as a companion would help.
The loyal Balinese is quite attached to its family. Owners should be aware that this sociable cat needs company all day. If a lone occupants leaves his home all day, this would not be a good arrangement for the cat. As the Balinese is compatible with other cats, a second cat would provide great company. This talkative pet can be noisy. Owners should prepare meals of raw chicken wings and diced raw meat.
No breeders listed at this time.

Free software that will work like PCMatic?
by elliehowe - 2/26/13 3:23 PM
My PC is running much slower now than a few months ago. Despite my using AVG antivirus plus clearing RAM, dumping TEMP files, and other basic steps to improve speed, it's still noticeably slower. The TV ads for PC Matic look GREAT; if I had the money I would buy it. I am wondering if anywhere in the CNET FREE downloads there is a program that would do essentially the same things as PC Matic (maybe not all and maybe not quite as fast) that I could try...
Also could you tell me what category I should be looking at? Would the software be listed under "productivity" or "operating systems" or what? I am using Windows 7 and Foxfire on an HP desktop PC. Many thanks!

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (AP) — Indiana Treasurer Richard Mourdock says he hasn't ruled out another run for political office — something he said he considered after his loss for a U.S. Senate seat.
Mourdock, a Republican, lost to Democrat Joe Donnelly in the race for Republican Sen. Richard Lugar's seat after coming under criticism for his comment during an Oct. 23 debate that pregnancy resulting from rape is "something God intended." At an event in Evansville on Friday night, Mourdock said he has recovered mentally and physically from his loss to Donnelly and would consider another run for office, the Evansville Courier & Press reported (http://bit.ly/WCPpJi ).
Mourdock did not say what office he might run for, but he said he's ready to move past his crushing defeat. Donnelly's win in November helped Democrats build a 55-45 seat advantage in the Senate.
"I'll be honest: This one was very difficult to lose," said Mourdock, who was in Evansville for the Vanderburgh County GOP Lincoln Day dinner.
During the event, many Republicans cast Mourdock as a good man who paid an extraordinarily high price for a poor choice of words. Some blamed what they called a hostile news media, repeating what Mourdock's campaign finance director Ashlee Walls wrote in an email to supporters in December. She said the Republican Senate candidate was "caught in the liberal media cross hairs." Mourdock refused to apologize for the remark, and Democrats spent heavily for ads repeating it for voters.
It was Mourdock's third GOP Lincoln Day dinner of the week, and three more are planned.
Vanderburgh County GOP Chairman Wayne Parke said Mourdock's loss was heartbreaking, calling it "a five-second thing."
Asked about the comment he made regarding pregnancy and rape, Mourdock said: "I made my statement that night and clarified as many times as I possibly can. I believe God is the author of life and certainly I want life respected."
Mourdock, who has two years left in his term as treasurer, said he won't shrink from the scene no matter what happens in the future.
"I'm going to find a way to have my voice heard," he said.

[DESIGN DISCUSSION for 2.1] Atypical Plugin Use-Cases
The Parent Problem
When a child project is referenced by a parent POM, and that parent POM defines plugins to be run, those plugins may execute before or after the child modules build, depending on the child modules' usage of the <parent/> section of their POMs.
If the child POM references its parent using a <parent/> section, Maven 2.0.x views that as a dependency of the project, which means if that parent POM is present in the current reactor, it will be sorted to build ahead of the child module. HOWEVER, if the child POM fails to declare its <parent/>, it will be sorted to build ahead of the parent POM, other things being equal. This can lead to very subtle and unintuitive behaviors, such as:
- When children use <parent/> sections, assemblies created in the parent build that reference <moduleBinaries/> which are not yet present, resulting in the assembly plugin failing (MASSEMBLY-94 )
- <module/> specifications without a corresponding <parent/> in the referenced POM will not fail, but may result in the child being built before the parent.
Proposed changes for 2.1
Force parent-first semantics; either a module reference OR a parent reference would be used to establish a parent-child dependency relationship, instead of just the parent reference now. This just leaves open the question of how to force some configuration in the parent build to run AFTER all children are built, as in the case of MASSEMBLY-94.
Backward-compat considerations
There really shouldn't be any problem documenting this break on compatibility. It's more of a technical break, since only those who are intimately familiar with Maven's parent-child dependency logic would be able to exploit this, and then only under certain circumstances. The most notable of these being the use of a orchestration-only top-level POM that lists a bunch of modules, among them a parent POM that is referenced in the <parent/> section of all the other module POMs. In this case, the orchestrating POM would be built last under 2.0.x, but first under 2.1.
Aggregation (using the @aggregator mojo annotation) was originally designed to give plugin developers the opportunity to summarize some part of the result of all builds in the current reactor, and produce its own output. As such, it was designed to run at most once per build, and have access to the list of projects in the current reactor via the ${reactorProjects} plugin-parameter expression. However, this design does not address all of the use cases for summary in the build; far from it. In fact, aggregator mojos tend to inject a lot of uncertainty and counter-intuitiveness into a build.
Aggregator mojos are implicitly designed to run from the command line (or, directly at the user's request), since to bind them to the lifecycle of a particular POM means they would either violate their own summary intention (the current state of things in 2.0.x), or they will execute (or not) in an unpredictable fashion when multiple of the same aggregator-mojo binding is encountered during a single build. Consider the case:
TOP | +- CHILD-A | | | +- binding for AGGREGATOR-1 | +- CHILD-B | | | +- binding for AGGREGATOR-1
NOTE: Neither child project depends on the other.
If either CHILD-A or CHILD-B is built in isolation, its corresponding aggregator binding should run as part of that build. However, if the build is run from the project TOP, which binding of AGGREGATOR-1 should be executed? In Maven 2.0.x, both bindings are executed, thus violating the at-most-once execution semantics of the @aggregator annotation. To make matters worse, if the project TOP specified a binding for AGGREGATOR-1 and the build were run from the TOP level using Maven 2.0.x, AGGREGATOR-1 would be executed once for each project: TOP, CHILD-A, and CHILD-B...unless it specified the annotation '@inheritByDefault false' (which will simply prevent that plugin from being inherited to child POMs).
Since the only truly safe way to run an aggregator mojo is from the command line, proper use of this feature serves to destroy the controlled vocabulary that helps to make Maven a compellingly portable tool. It also raises serious concerns about how to configure the aggregator mojo in a portable way, with the only clear way being an entry in the pluginManagement section of the top-level POM. Since the definition of "top-level POM" can vary according to whether you're building a project, product containing the project, distribution containing both, etc, this still leaves open the possibility of conflicting aggregator configurations within a single build.
Proposed changes for 2.1
Deprecate @aggregator and further develop child-processing and child-summary support from parent POMs
Introduce a new, special phase: summarize
This might be implemented as a special lifecycle phase. Pre-child processing can take place in the normal parent phase bindings, since parents will be forced to the head of the line, ahead of children (see The Parent Problem, above).
One serious implication of this change is that it would require Maven to track parent-child relationships within the reactor. This is critical to enable Maven to wait until the last descendant project of a particular POM has been built, before calling the new special summary phase.
Criteria for the execution of this new phase would be the same as other phases. That is, it would require that all preceding steps (phases/mojos) succeed. Failure ahead of this phase - if not configured using something like --fail-never - would prevent the summary phase from executing.
${subProjects} expression
This expression would return all descendant projects of the current project being built, and would have to interact with the @requiresDependencyResolution annotation, as described below in '${reactorProjects} and Dependency Resolution'. It would provide an easy way for summary mojos to grab the list of projects they are supposed to summarize, complete with any dependencies they require.
Backward-compat considerations
Legacy @aggregator mojos should be supported, at least for 2.1. However, their use should prompt a deprecation warning to the user.
Build Introspection
This is the ability to query the build for the set of changes it will make to the build state. It's useful for things like IDE tooling, eclipse:eclipse, and clean:clean, since it would allow the user to discover which additional resources it should pay attention to. In the case of IDE tooling, it would allow for addition of new source folder definitions corresponding to generated-source target directories and so forth. In the case of clean:clean, it would allow the plugin to determine which directories (outside of target/, that is) it should clear when it executes.
Currently, modification of build state amounts to one of a host of API calls on such objects as the current MavenProject instance, or the MavenProjectHelper component instance. Unfortunately, only static bytecode analysis or actual execution of the plugin can determine when these changes occur; there is no way to ask the mojo to report on the changes it would make, if it were to execute. In the case of bytecode analysis, this is problematic because the actual call could be conditional based on some context information. Obviously, direct execution also carries heavy burdens, since it requires the tooling or plugins in need of this information to actually run that build...which in turn means that the build must succeed in order to extract the resulting build-state changes.
Proposed changes for 2.1
New Mojo super-classes to provide support for common types of mojos
- code generation
- resource generation
- artifact creation
- querying for build-state changes becomes a trivial matter of casting to the right mojo super-class, and calling the methods that provide the build-state changes like getCompileSourceRootAdditions().
- Instantiating, configuring, and querying the mojos in a build is relatively lightweight, compared to running a full build.
- Each super-class could implement a large part of the boilerplate code needed by these different types of plugins.
- provisioning for mojos that generate both code and resources becomes complicated
- we'll face the continual deficiency problem like we did with lifecycle phases, where we never have exactly the right combination that users ask for
- remember, this is baked into maven's core, since maven has to know how to query the mojos for information.
Backward-compat considerations
- old-style mojos will not be queryable
Forbid modification of build state without appropriate state-change annotations/metadata
This would be something like:
- @exportResource dir="target/generated-resources/plexus"
- @exportSourceRoot dir="target/generated-sources/modello"
- @exportAttachedArtifact classifier="src" type="tar.gz" file="target/foo-1.0-src.tar.gz"
- Makes state-change queries extremely lightweight; just a matter of retrieving the mojo component descriptors from the plugin artifact. This is something we already do to plan the build in 2.1.
- Could be implemented as a part of the shutdown/dispose component-lifecycle phase for Mojos, to query for these sorts of @exportXXX annotations.
- @exportXXX could be written to be extensible, for instance registering whether a mojo ran or skipped its execution because everything is up-to-date
- Boilerplate code for common types of mojos is still problematic, but could be solved using maven shared APIs, as we're starting to do now.
- Harder to capture conditional logic that may prevent the export of certain resources, source-roots, or attached artifacts, such as when the assembly plugin has configuration of attach=false.
- This means splitting all build-state into two interfaces, one MutableXXX and one XXX (immutable). MutableXXX would be passed throughout the system, but NOT to mojos
Backward-compat considerations
- we would need some sort of marker for mojos that are holdovers from 2.0.x's way of doing things, so we don't restrict their access to read-only build-state. This limits our ability to use the new features with a high degree of confidence, but preserves backward compatibility.
${reactorProjects} and Dependency Resolution
Non-aggregator and aggregator mojos alike have access to the list of projects in the current reactor, either using ${reactorProjects}, or using ${session}.getSortedProjects(). However, because project dependencies are resolved just-in-time, ahead of the mojo's execution, and according to the mojo's use of the @requiresDependencyResolution annotation, the full list of projects in the session (or the result of the ${reactorProjects} expression) WILL NOT have their dependencies resolved to the scope specified.
Proposed changes for 2.1
Add projects="sub" and projects="all" as qualifiers to the @requiresDependencyResolution annotation
This doesn't represent anything fundamentally different in terms of artifact resolution. What's new is the scope of Maven's resolution efforts. The unqualified scope specification will result in the dependencies of the current project being resolved to that scope. When qualified with 'projects="all"', the same thing happens for all projects in the reactor. Finally, when qualified with 'projects="sub"', dependency resolution for that scope happens for the current project AND its descendant projects. This last qualifier is critical when taken with the changes to accommodate summary mojos (See the discussion on Aggregation, above). In many cases where summary mojos run, they will need information about ONLY those projects that are self-or-descendant for the current project. This helps the summary mojo escape the effects of running the build from an arbitrarily super-level of a large nested build structure.
Backward-compat considerations
The dependency-resolution features of Maven 2.0.x are fairly counter-intuitive when coupled with ${reactorProjects} or ${session}.getSortedProjects(), since it only resolves dependencies for the current project. Since this behavior is still intact by default, it should produce no compatibility problems.
The only uncertainty happens when considering whether QDox allows a value that's unattached to an attribute in mixed mode with other values that DO have attributes. For instance:
/** * @goal test * @requiresDependencyResolution test projects="all" */
If this doesn't work, it's no big problem to support two forms of the requiresDependencyResolution annotation. Of course, the old specification would be supported:
/** * @goal test * @requiresDependencyResolution test */
In addition, a new format would be introduced:
/** * @goal test * @requiresDependencyResolution scope="test" projects="all" */
2 Comments
Dependency Resolution vs. Dependency Collection
Dependency resolution imposes a hard-constraint on the dependencies: they must have already been build. This can make reactor builds fail in certain circumstances (see Enforcer Plugin and Dependency Resolution). Plugins that only require the artifact metadata could also get this metadata from the reactor projects and hence need not fail if a just-about-to-build module has no artifact in the local repo yet. Hence it might be worth to consider the introduction of another mojo annotation that plugins can use to declare that they only need metadata and not the artifacts themselves such that Maven can use the ArtifactCollector instead of the ArtifactResolver.

The London Underground or 'the tube' as it is universally known to Londoners, is normally the quickest and easiest way of getting round London. Greater London is served by 12 tube lines, along with the independent (though linked) and privately owned DLR and an interconnected rail network. The first tube train operates at around 5:30am Monday to Saturday and around 7am Sunday; the last train leaves between 11:30pm and 12:30am depending on the day, the station and the line. Remember that any train heading from left to right on the map is designated as eastbound, and any train heading from top to bottom is southbound- no matter how many squiggles and turns it makes. If your two stations are not on the same line, you need to note the nearest station where the two lines intersect, and it is here that you must change trains. Step out into this fantastic city and explore with your travel card - the best way to see London!
Depart for your Magic of London tour, where aboard a coach, you'll drive past some of London's most famous landmarks including Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, arrive at the Tower of London where you will be met on the middle drawbridge by a Yeoman Warder. You will be led into this world heritage site before it opens to the public and taken on a guided tour explaining the history behind this fortress of imprisonment. You will be the first group to see the Crown Jewels before enjoying some free time to explore on your own. Why not visit Traitors Gate, the armouries or the Bloody Tower and keep an eye out for the famous Ravens. Departing from the Tower, head to The Mall to watch the Changing of the Guard ceremony as one of the Queen's Household Regiments march from St. James Palace to Buckingham Palace, dressed in their world famous tunics and busbies. (Please note, the Changing of the Guard does not occur every day - enjoy a photo stop at Buckingham Palace when not running). Next, take a short ferry ride on the River Thames, enjoying excellent views of St. Paul's Cathedral and Shakespeare's Globe. You'll then have free time for independent lunch. Also, there is an opportunity for a photo stop at Westminster Abbey. The afternoon part of the tour begins with a visit to St. Paul's Cathedral.

Enjoy a private walking tour today with your local guide. Your guide will pick you up at your centrally located hotel and show you the sites. Walk through the green heart of Cardiff and enjoy the history, geography and architecture of this vibrant and dynamic Capital City. Cardiff Bay offers the visitor to the Welsh Capital a glimpse into Cardiff's historical past, present and future. See the shipping headquarters, once used by the founding family of Cardiff - The Butes, now alongside the modern iconic Wales Millennium Centre, which has captured the imagination of the Welsh people and is recognised on an international stage.
The state of the art Welsh Assembly Government building, Y Senydd, is situated in a prime position on the waterfront. Y Senedd is completely transparent at the public level, a testament to the Welsh Government's philosophy of openness and transparency. This half day walking tour allows you to become familiar with features such as: The Norwegian Church, Cardiff Bay Barrage, Mermaid Quay, Y Senydd, Wales Millennium Centre and Cardiff Bay's Public Art.
Spend the day on a privately guided day tour in the company of a knowledgeable driver-guide and private vehicle. After being picked up from your accommodation, the first visit is to Chepstow Castle, which is perched above the swirling waters of the River Wye. Standing guard over a strategic crossing point into Wales, this well-preserved landmark castle was probably the first stone castle to be built in Britain and one of the few to trace the evolution of medieval military architecture from start to finish.
North of Chepstow is the Wooded Wye Valley, an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' which winds its way through Tintern to Monmouth. Tintern, dominated by the soaring ruins of its medieval abbey, has attracted poets and artists for centuries. The abbey is an outstanding example of Gothic architecture and provides a fascinating insight into monastic life in medieval times.
From here, you'll travel north through the Wye Valley to the historic Welsh border market town of Monmouth, situated at the confluence of the Rivers Wye, Monnow and Trothy. Perhaps best known as the birthplace of Henry V, Monmouth boasts a whole host of historical sites, people and buildings from the Nelson Garden to The Town Hall. It has a medieval 13th-century bridge over the River Monnow, unique in Britain as it is the only preserved bridge of its design remaining.Raglan was the last medieval fortification built in Britain. Raglan was built on the site of a former Norman motte in 1435. The design combines practical strength with ostentatious style. Raglan Castle is set amongst rolling border country. Once a sumptuous palace, with formal state apartments and a Great Tower, it was more a state of wealth and social aspiration than an intimidating military presence. It acquitted itself well however, when forced into active service, enduring in 1646 one of the longest sieges in the English Civil War, before falling to Cromwell's forces and suffering at the hands of his demolition team. Even in ruin however, noble Raglan remains the finest late-medieval fortress palace in the British Isles.
The landscape of The Marches - the Welsh border, is dominated by two rivers, the Wye and the Usk. They meander through green vales set in rolling countryside. The entire area is idyllic touring country. Scenic roads weave across hill and vale dotted with pretty little towns and villages. Discover the historic floral town of Usk which stands in the valley of the same name.
The final stop of the day is Caerleon, one of Europe's most fascinating and revealing Roman sites. To the Romans Caerleon was known as Isca or often referred to as 'City of the Legions'. Here they created not just a military camp but also an entire township, complete with amphitheatre which, in its heyday, would have seated in the region of 6,000 people and would have been the scene of many gladiatorial games against men and beasts. Dr Mortimer Wheeler extensively excavated the remains of the Amphitheatre in 1926 and they remain some of the best preserved in Britain. The variety of remains on view in Caerleon (from its amphitheatre to the excavated bathhouse complex, barracks and museum) is unparalleled within the British Isles, providing a vivid picture of life in Roman Britain almost 2,000 years ago. At days end you will be returned to your accommodation in Cardiff. (includes all entrances).
You will be collected from your accommodation and taken to London Heathrow airport in time for check in. The journey should take approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes.

"All of our guides were beyond fabulous! Our time in Dublin was much too short, would have loved to stay there at least one more full day. Would recommend extending this package to 15 days for any future visits. The train to Edinburgh was super! Beautiful scenery and great steak pies!"

"Everyone involved in our Portugal trip made it terrific. Exactly as advertised. Every event on time and most pleasant. Guides were well-informed, courteous and friendly. Really made for a great journey every time. Each hotel was clean, upgraded and staffed with knowledgeable and friendly folks. Breakfasts were complete -- almost too much to eat.

"Thank you for your follow up, we both loved our time in Croatia. It's really a beautiful place, especially the coast. Your choice of hotels was great. It was an incredible view from the Bellevue hotel in Dubrovnik and the Vestibule in Split was in the best possible location. We were able to relax in our room listening to the wonderful singers in the courtyard and its central location made it so easy to walk anywhere we wanted to see with ease. "

"We just returned from a 10 day trip to Paris and Normandy. We spent three nights in Paris and then enjoyed a seven night cruise on the Seine to Normandy with AMA Waterways. The time in Paris was well spent and has piqued our interest to return for a more thorough visit. Guide Wafaa Lankey was superb in our visit to Versailles. The Seine cruise was relaxing and beautiful. So many wonderful little towns and we wished we had more time in each one to explore and enjoy.
We traveled to Croatia and Slovenia using Kensington earlier this year which was a fantastic trip."

Perry resigns as Snohomish football coach
After 18 years, Perry cites past two difficult seasons as reason
"Between my 18 years as head coach and the 32 by Dick (Armstrong) that's 50 years with just two guys at the helm of one program," Perry said on that day. "That doesn't happen very often."
Next week Snohomish begins a search for its third head coach in 51 years.
After a rough 2012 campaign, Perry submitted his resignation as the Panthers head football coach last week, citing that the past two years have been difficult on him, according to Snohomish School District athletic director Mark Albertine. The Panthers went 6-14 over the past two seasons, including 2-8 this past season that included a 43-7 loss to crosstown rival Glacier Peak.
"It's been 30 years now and I've enjoyed every minute of it," said Perry late Tuesday night after helping as an assistant coach on the Snohomish wrestling team. "It's just time to look at doing other things in life."
The decision wasn't just hard on Perry.
"This is not easy on anybody," said Albertine, who worked hand-in-hand with Perry for most of his 18 years as head coach. "The first words you think of when you hear Mark Perry is he's a man of character and integrity and those are things he instilled in his players. Those are wonderful traits in a human being."
Albertine said Perry will remain in his role as athletic supervisor at Snohomish High School and could still be a part of the Panthers football coaching staff in the future.
"That's going to be his choice whether or not he still wants to be involved, but he is still very valued," Albertine said of Perry.
Perry may be most remembered for helping a young man gain a very special moment on the gridiron.
In 2010, Perry gave Ike Ditzenberger, a special needs student at Snohomish and a member of the Panthers football team, the chance to score a touchdown, which he did in a loss to Lake Stevens. It was a moment that inspired many nationwide and produced a viral video that now has close to 3 million hits on YouTube.
"To be able to help Ike do something that not every kid gets the chance to do was special," Perry said.
Perry, who finished 105-77 as Snohomish head coach, not only had to overcome replacing a legend in Armstrong, but had to shepherd the Panthers through a time when the school district was split in half, causing Snohomish to lose a number of talented players to new high school Glacier Peak.
And while Perry, who was an assistant under Armstrong for 11 seasons, seemed to take up right where his mentor left off, overcoming the departure of so many athletes to GP was much more difficult. Perry guided Snohomish to a record of 34-18 with four winning seasons prior to Glacier Peak's opening, but fell to 18-32 over the next five with only one winning season: 2008, the year Glacier Peak opened. In that same time period, Glacier Peak went 37-15.
Glacier Peak head coach Rory Rosenbach, who played under Perry when he was an assistant at Snohomish, said he has the utmost respect for the former Snohomish coach.
"I respect him as a man and a coach as much as any man I know," Rosenbach said via text message Tuesday night. "He taught me a lot about how to coach this game and how to treat young men."
Though the past five years were tough, Perry's highlights as Snohomish coach include a state semifinal appearance in 1998 and an undefeated regular season in 2000.
But for Perry the things he is most proud of are off the field. One of them is his coaching staff, which is the same six guys he started with from Day 1.
"There was a lot of camaraderie and friendships that were built during that time," Perry said. "Not a lot of coaching staffs get to stay together like that."
Perry also was sure to mention the kids and families that impacted his life.
"Over a 30-year career I've met some great kids and great families," Perry said. "Those are special kids and the relationships I built with those families over my career I'll never forget.
"There are so many kids that matured into great young men, and even if they weren't on the straight and narrow back then, they'll come back and say 'You made a difference when I was a student.' That means a lot now."
Albertine said the Panthers head coaching job will be posted next week and that he expects there to be a strong set of applicants for the job.
"I would picture this as an attractive position," Albertine said.
As for what the school seeks in a new head coach, Albertine was clear.
"We'll be looking for someone who is going to have a high level of energy and enthusiasm," Albertine said. "They will also have an excellent background and knowledge of the game of football and is going to teach kids to be a winner on the field as well as in the classroom and in life."
It's no secret that there is pressure on the head football coach at Snohomish, which won a pair of state titles in 1976 and 1978 under Armstrong's guidance. Perry talked about that pressure before the season, making the distinction that people can be forgiving if you lose with less talented teams, but less forgiving if you have the talent and still lose.
"The people here know football, but they're fair," Perry said. "If you lose games and you have a talented roster they'll hold you accountable."

We have arrived at my personal favorite time of the week. No, not Backwashed Fudgesicle Hour at Egotastic! That's not for three more hours yet. But that time each week when we as a community spend our fifth weekday of toil, together in the fields of the sextastic, harvesting the finest that Hottieville has to offer as gleaned by our fabulous readers, the most educated celebrity site readers on the web I might add once more.
This weeks Reader Finds includes a screencapped Jessie J nip slip, a series of Taylor Momsen panties peeks up her concert dress, a classic look back at Cindy Crawford topless on the runway, a second look at the double sets of Silvia Irabien who we saw earlier this week in Playboy, a second look at the now completely bare boobtastic of Monika Pietrasinska who we saw lingerie clad earlier this week, Nicki Minaj being all kinds of Minajesque, German phenom Sophia Thomalla baring her Bavarians, a higher def look at Zoe Saldana in the shower, a bonus leer at Carly Craig topless, and Diane Lane just looking mesmerizing. It's all good, very good.

Question for really expert dks soloists (mionelol\avanger, etc.): I might have problems getting http://www.wowhead.com/item=87574 before the festival ends on my dk, so I'm asking: are these 2 which I can get in heroic dungeons better than the brewfest one? Would be http://www.wowhead.com/item=81138 http://www.wowhead.com/item=81268
They have strength which the brewfest one doesn't, but it has a super attack power proc, although only for a few seconds, and also it's 7 item levels higher.
This talking about DPS in blood spec, I don't care for frost at all when making this decision.
How do you guys think DKs compare to monk soloing now?
Oh, I went back and soloed Marrowgar.
Yeah, lame I know. BUT REVENGE.
Vampire Zombie Werewolf
Okay it seems I grossly underestimated cata raids Even soloing the bot trash to halfus wasnt easy.
gotta wait for next explansion I guess
Or better gear ?
So i tried soloing lk 25 normal, but i keep dieing from infest at 61% at that moment i just cant top my health anymore.
Am i doing sumthing wrong? do i need other gear......till 70% no problem but after that i need to fight to get my health up. any ideas?? ty in fw
The Color of Water
Oh, and AMS if you know you won't have a DS up in time for Infest prehaps? Never done it myself though so don't take this as the only advice.
I tried doing the ZA bear run but even with stacking Blood Shield and Boneshield, Nalorakk absolutely destroyed me with the Surge debuff followed by Brutal Stike. I then tried to pop ICB, which worked great, but didn't last long enough to make any significant progress since the third Strike was when he essentially brought the pain and I couldn't heal through Purgatory in time.
That said, I didn't have Army since it was on CD from Akil'Zon so I'll go back tomorrow and try again since the rest was a breeze with ilvl 463 in Blood Spec with DPS gear. You can easily hit the timer providing you can do Nalorakk.
I've successfully done the Bear run. It was pretty tight due to several accidental pulls and a death so even with messing up a few times and being cautious with pulls, you'll still reach with a minute or so on the clock. Nalorakk was still a heavy DPS race even with Army as it seemed they did not taunt him to soak the hits while under the effects of the debuff. He died after I got Purgatory and was able to get him down right before I went down.
Was pretty fun! I guess the next step is Ulduar 25 and Naxx 25.
Last edited by Super Nintendo Chalmers; 2012-10-10 at 10:24 PM.
A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon.
Rest is a breeze cos probably u met Dakara tiger form... bear form is like Nalorakk if not worst...
However I lost some time when I was into Frostmourne, what I am supposed to do in this phase ? Death-gripping some spirits and Deah-Striking them for 40 seconds ?

Artic Ice Melting Faster Than Anticipated
An article published on theage.com.au has reported that the artic ice cap is melting much faster than anticipated by predictions made by the Intergovernmental Panel on Global Climate Change. The ocean at the top of Earth could be free of ice by the year 2020, three decades sooner than anticipated. No ice on the top of the Earth like this could be a major catalyst to global warming, because ice reflects light and heat and with it gone the earth and sea will absorb it. Glaciologists believe the change is a result of greenhousr gases.
The lead establishes the main point of the article flatly, and leads into the details of the changei n prediction, 30 years ahead of schedule. The rest of the article basically hinges on statements attributed to various climate experts and glaciologists. What might be the most important detail is saved for the end of the article, with the glaciologist asserting that the levels are not a result of natural climate change, but rather due to greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Coverage of the story at cnn.com is much more in-depth, but covers the same basic points. It feels like it's overwhelmed by details about the study done by the panel, but at the same time it des manage to clearly convey the main points, which are that the study is anticipated to be off by 30 years, and that the change is probably due to greenhouse gases.
The CNN article is less immediately readable than the article written for The Age, and saturates the article with facts that feel superfluous. There's also not as many quotes given from people working in the field, which doesn't help it.
