Caractère by Daniel Hechter
Thread: Best budget leathers?
I was thinking about this, and the only one which sprang to mind is Cuir de Lancome. What others are there?

Caractère by Daniel Hechter
Honestly, given its potency and relatively inexpensive price tag, I would say leather oud is quite affordable.
I'm liquidating my collection to help fund my site. Please show your support for the FPindex and buy buy buy - Tuscan Leather, Egoiste, Costume National 21, etc!

I like Cuir de Lancome, but don't find it very "leathery". Kind of like Tom of Finland - it is more of a suede.
for a budget leather, the only I can think of at the moment would be Dirty English, but even that isn't quite what I think of as a "leather" fragrance. The only other good leathers that come to mind are all > $70 / bottle.
Seasonal favorites:
1. Xerjoff - Nio
2. Creed - Aventus
3. Tom Ford - Grey Vetiver
4. The Different Company - De Bachmakov
5. Dior - Homme Sport 2008
6. Montale - Aoud Legacy
7. Creed - Virgin Island Water
8. by Kilian - Straight to Heaven
9. Creed - Original Cologne
10. Clive Christian - 1872 for Men
I cant think in an cheap options except Cuir de Lancome, and this one is becoming expensive and rare.
Azuree, a confident citrusy leather, should still cost about $40 for 75ml regular price at dept stores.
Knize Ten is still reasonably priced...GREAT quality/price ratio IMO.
Discover my Guest Reviewer Of The Day here
L'Essence de Cerutti by Cerutti is $29.99 for a 3.4 oz (100 ml) on eBay.
Gianfranco Ferre For Men, Trussardi Uomo Vintage (both not strictly leather prominent but with a leathery undertone).
Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve under $10
Quorum $15
Halston Z-14 $15
Enrico Sebastiano $25
Aramis $60
Fahrenheit $60
A lot of old school powerhouses have lots of leather.
So many...
Knize Ten
Habit Rouge
three of my favorites that are very reasonably priced.
Golden Boy for less than $100. That seems pretty reasonable for a 3.4 oz EdP that smells very similar to Tuscan Leather.

I agree on Knize Ten and Aramis - roughly in the same price range, but a lot more difficult to find, are Farina Russisch Leder and SMN's amazing Peau d'Espagne.
Wow, no mention of Nicole Miller for men?? Easily the best leather scent under 20 bucks. You can get it for about 10 or 12 bucks a bottle. Has a great apple note which makes it quite unique.
Other reasonably priced leather fragrances:
John Varvatos
True Religion
My Ultimate Top 5:
Fahrenheit (1988)
Paul Smith Man (2009)
Burberry London (2006)
Prada Amber pour Homme (2006)
Arpege pour Homme (2005)
A men Pure Leather
John Varvatos
Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve
Imho THE 'best bang for the buck leather fragrance' award goes to...the $23 for 4oz ...
Elsha 1776 Russian Leather
Kolnisch Juchten by Parfums Regence cost me $65 for 100ml.. Dark, birtchy, smoky meat like leather that is better than anything I have smelled in the leather range. Unfortunately only one store in the US carries it but even given that fact I have found it easier to get than Knize 10 which nobody has in stock and also which I have never even sampled. Wish I knew what it smelled like...
Some Favorites
1. Amouage Epic man
2. Dior Leather Oud
3. Perris Monte Carlo Oud Imperial Black
4. Le Labo Patchouli 24
5. Amouage Opus VII
6. Byredo Bullion
7. Masque Milano Russian Tea
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
Also, forgot. Guess by Marciano is an excellent budget leather scent.
My Ultimate Top 5:
Fahrenheit (1988)
Paul Smith Man (2009)
Burberry London (2006)
Prada Amber pour Homme (2006)
Arpege pour Homme (2005)
Looks like the OP should have specified exactly what he meant by budget. LOL. So, I will mentioned "cheapos:"
Everlast Original 1910
Bijan V.I.P. Men (suede)
Heir by Hilton (not suggesting it's a great scent)
Montana Parfum d'Homme (complex, so the leather note may not be strong enough for you there)
Vintage Cachet is also easy to get cheaply on ebay, sort of a light version of Aramis.

Axe "Music" is surprisingly good - reminiscent of Tuscan Leather but with cedar instead of raspberry.
Simplex Sigillum Veri
I'd save money and buy Knize Ten.
Kind of soft and powdery leather, but one I appreciate is Trumper's Spanish Leather. Maybe not budget, but not expensive either.
I agree with Aramis
"All problems are illusions of the mind."
-- Eckhart Tolle
If Cuir de Lancome's current prices are "budget," then what is not a budget scent, other than Amouage, Clive Christian, Xerjoff, and perhaps one or two others?

Another vote for Aramis. I picked up a 60ml bottle for about 15 dollars not too long ago, so you can occasionally find it for quite cheap.
I had heard about Knize Ten on Basenotes since 2009.
I avoided it, thinking I don't like leather cologne, based on
pre-basenotes bias on leather based on English Leather.
Fast Forward to now...Got sample from Lucky Scent, ordered bottle next day.
Love it or Hate it...when you love it...you'll then consider Cuir de Russie (EXPENSIVE)
I did hear that Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve is damn good leather for VERY inexpensive.
When the time comes,
Knize Ten will spank you with it's Austrian Leather
...and you will like it.
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)
+1 Nicole Miller for Men
Tommy Bahama Original
Currently on my Rotation:
1. Cartier D'un Soir

3. Bergamotto Marino
4. Herb Alpert Listen
5. Artisan
6. Bang
8. Pal Zileri No 18
9. TdH
0. Kenzo Homme
While seconding Caractere, Trumper Spanish Leather, Z14, Trussardi Uomo and English Leather, I'd also like to add Tabac Original and Avon Black Suede Touch (the latter including not just suede notes, but also leathery and gourmand ones).
Budget leathers are hard to find. Perhaps if you appreciate leathers from the late 60s ( Aramis), 70s ( drawng a blank !) and 80s ( Ferre Man, Caractere, Trussardi Uomo, Tenere, Or Black....etc) they are alot easier to come by. But finding a nice Spanish leather is really hard to come by at a cheap price ( under $50).
Most contemporary leathers are close to $100 ( if not more).
I also find the current Nicole Miller for Men to be lackluster in that it feels thin and not well lasting.
Seeking: Bottles/decants : of Alain Delon Iquitos, Feeling Man, Gucci pour Homme, Essence of John Galliano, Opium pour Homme, Oxford & Cambridge, Azzaro pour Homme (vintage), Concentré D'Orange Verte...etc.
Seeking decant/sample of Jil Sander Feeling Man, Comme des Garcons 2 Man, Giorgio VIP, ....etc. I have samples to swap.

Bad link.
Above is mobile link
Speaking on a national teleconference call Thursday afternoon, Webber said it's already clear that nobody would like the Hornets to become the Pelicans.
"Come on, everybody in the world knows that's the worst name ever thought of and they're going to be a joke,'' Webber said. "I would hate to be from New Orleans and go somewhere and people tease me about being a Pelican fan.''
Benson has not filed a formal application with the NBA to change the franchise's name to the Pelicans. But he is seriously considering it, according to league sources. Benson has actively pushed for a name change and he has owned the rights to the Pelican nickname for years. The Pelicans were a minor league baseball team in New Orleans from 1887 to 1959 and again in 1977.
Couple other ex NBA player quotes in there.

Can't find it in my heart to give a damn about anything Chris Webber thinks.
Exactly why the name SHOULD be Pelicans. The more these out-of-towners complain, the more I love the name.
Last edited by Tip-Off; 12-13-2012 at 09:42 PM.
and this from the person who should actually be headlining a thread named....Chris Webber: worst timeout call ever....
"we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"
"always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"
I agree with him about the name being awful, but he's clearly ignoring the other awful names in the league.
Other teams having bad names shouldn't be a reason for us to accept this bad name
thats funny, because chris webber is a joke of an analyst
I like Chris Webber as a player and analyst and the name does suck.
People are that worried about a team name? It's a name of a freaking Bird. A BIRD atleast its our State Bird. It's not generic or the name of another team or after its owner...It doesn't have many good names out their to rep Louisiana other than Pelicans. You may think its bad but others are really gimmicky, lame, or corny. Atleast it has history and meaning. It's the right name. That's all that should matter not that it sounds cool.
R.I.P. to HunnyB/FlyGirl
"The pelican is fearsome. Take a raven, for example: it's omnivorous. It eats bugs, and seeds, and fruit, and carrion. Compared to the well-rounded citizen that is the raven, the pelican is the serial killer of birds." - Barry Petchesky, Deadspin
People outside of Louisiana won't know what a Krewe is and Brass is like us saying "oh my gosh I just wish we were like totally the Jazz, but since not well let's just copy it closely as possible" jazz is played with Brass instruments ya know, I'm just saying.

Cement Paint for Garage Floors
Like the heavy-duty glues, epoxy paint is a two-part liquid that's mixed prior to application. It sticks like crazy and creates a tough, plastic-like layer that's resistant to oil, gasoline, antifreeze, tar, salt and other crud tracked in on your car's tires. It also won't stick to road-heated tires like regular paint can. Epoxy paint is available in DIY-friendly kits that include both a cleaning solution and paint. Many products can be used with optional color chips or non-slip additives such as quartz crystals.

New album: King Animal
Artist: Soundgarden
Label: Mercury/Republic
Rating: 3.5 stars out of 5
Most of the ink thrown at the Seattle scene in the 1990s landed on Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Soundgarden had to work a little harder for its recognition, but eventually became the preeminent American hard rock band.
The original Soundgarden run from 1988-1996 bore a slight resemblance to the ascension of R.E.M. — with each release, the band sold more records and continued to win over more critics. Although it may cause thousands of hipster Nazis to spill coffee on their hemp shoulder bag, Soundgarden was at the peak of its creative powers with the mega-hit 1994 release "Superunknown."
Boasting songs such as "Spoonman," "Black Hole Sun," "Fell on Black Days" and "My Wave," "Superunknown" had everyone thinking Soundgarden was going to rule the rock roost for years to come.
In 1996, the band released "Down on the Upside," which featured one of its strongest songs in "Burden in My Hand." Although the album was a moderate hit, the band seemed to be torn between revisiting the sludge of its early releases and the refined tunefulness of its latter career.
At the end of the tour to support "Down on the Upside," the band split, inspiring one of the greatest mass head-scratches in the history of rock fandom.
Being the first new Soundgarden release in 16 years, "King Animal" is unavoidably going to be compared to the band's original triumphs. This new collection doesn't quite reach the heights of "Superunknown," but it does improve on the uneven "Down on the Upside."
The band members' non-Soundgarden individual projects (Audioslave, Pearl Jam, Wellwater Conspiracy) have kept them sharp, but one wonders if the past decade of delivering their best songs to other bands has robbed the Soundgarden songbook of a few more classic tunes.
The LP begins with the strong new track "Been Away Too Long." Within seconds, it's evident Chris Cornell's hyena-on-helium vocals are still in tact and the band's collective force is as strong as ever. Drummer Matt Cameron, bassist Ben Shepherd and guitarist Kim Thayil display their songwriting chops on the slamming "By Crooked Steps," which features the sledgehammer attack and memorable hooks of yore.
Aside from a couple of mediocre songs ("Bones of Birds," "Non-State Actor"), "King Animal" is a solid, cohesive album. "Blood on the Valley Floor" is a fine slice of psychedelic metal, and two well-placed acoustic-tinged tracks ("Black Saturday" and "Halfway There") display the band's diversity and do a nice job of splitting up the full-on band assault.
Listening to the band cut loose on Shepherd's "Attrition," it's evident that whatever schism pulled them apart in 1997 seems to have dissipated. "King Animal" isn't chock full of radio hits, but it's probably as close to sublime as Soundgarden can muster.
The balance of bluster, brains and artiness is well calculated throughout "King Animal," and anyone who blew out a set of car stereo speakers to "Badmotorfinger" back in the day should be duly impressed.
Classic album: I'm Ready
Artist: Muddy Waters
Label: Blue Sky/Legacy
Rating: 5 stars out of 5
Released five years before his death in 1983, "I'm Ready" was a late career triumph for one of the most important figures in 20th-century music.
After helping create electric blues and rock and roll in the late 1940s/early 1950s, Muddy Waters — much like Howlin' Wolfand John Lee Hooker — spent much of the 1960s being presented as a "folk singer."
This was an attempt by his record label to attract college students who would buy anything labeled as folk music. It wasn't until the British blues-rock boom of the 1960s that Waters and his contemporaries could again present themselves as blues artists.
Hooker found success when paired with sympathetic modern-blues purists Canned Heat, but when Chess Records paired Muddy with younger musicians for the 1968 release "Electric Mud," it was the audio equivalent of a great hamburger topped with clam chowder.
Separately, these two entities could be quite satisfying, but Muddy Waters shouldn't have to put up with a fuzz-guitar solo. Come on people, this is Muddy Waters we're talking about.
Eventually, Chess Records tried to pair Muddy Waters with a brass section and other abominations. Thankfully, near the end of the 1970s, blues guitar legend Johnny Winter was tapped to produce three albums for Muddy on the Blue Sky label. The first of these collaborations — "Hard Again" from 1977 — usually receives most of the praise, but "I'm Ready" from 1978 is a landmark release in its own right.
Winter wisely removed any unnecessary studio gloss and basically set Waters up in a live situation and gave him command of the ship. Aside from Waters' thunderous singing and blistering Telecaster runs, he lovingly drives the band — featuring luminaries such as Willie Smith (drums) and Pinetop Perkins (piano) — like a rented mule.
Waters seems liberated by Winter's hands-off production approach. While the irony is lost on no one that it took the whitest man on earth to create the perfect environment for Muddy Waters, the sly, joyful vocal on "I'm Ready" is the closest many of us will come to be able to hear a smile.
Pre-dating the production style of noted minimalist Rick Rubin by 20 years, Winter also chose not to gomb up these performances with unneeded reverb or back-up singers. The driving thud Smith lays down for "Rock Me" and "Hoochie Coochie Man" sounds like Godzilla chopping wood with a light pole, while the in-the-room frankness of Perkins' piano on "33 Years" is as clear as rain on a windshield.
Not many artists can say they were this powerful after 30 years in the game, but "I'm Ready" proves that Muddy and his sidemen were just that.

To clarify, I agree with your intentions, I just think the example you gave has some pretty big implementation flaws.
For example, people showing up at the end, when event E starts, will get bigger rewards than people who went all the way to event D. Sure you can find ways to fix those flaws, but it gets complicated. I just think you need a better scenario, e.g. one event that splits in two, and as the split happens, players who go back and forth eventually spend so much time running they're better off sticking with either event chain. Another example is if waves of foes hit all sides of a town at the same time, then there is no point to running from one side to the other, and in fact those who pick the less populated side get to have more foes to kill by themselves.
So yeah, I fully agree with your principles, I just thought you needed better examples.

Toulouse beat Castres 34-27 to retain their lead at the summit of the French Top 14.
Toulouse trailed for most of the match but then scored 17 points in the final 10 minutes to claim the win that keeps them ahead of the chasing Clermont, who won 29-20 against Agen. Brent Russell scored in Clermont's win, which leaves them four points adrift of Toulouse.
Elsewhere, Biarritz continued their climb away from the relegation zone with a 26-11 victory over Brive, Montpellier stayed in the play-off race with a 37-26 win over Bayonne, and Stade Francais eased past Lyon 40-19.

The Kansas State Fair won the first round in its free speech dispute with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).
U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten, Wichita, Kan., ruled Tuesday the fair is a so-called "limited public forum," and that fair officials acted reasonably in requiring PETA to shield people walking by its booth from easily seeing the group's "educational video."
But the judge also denied a motion by the state to dismiss PETA's lawsuit.
The state of Kansas was represented by the office of Attorney General Derek Schmidt.
PETA sued the Kansas State Fair and the fair's general manager, claiming restrictions violated the group's free speech rights. At issue was a 13-minute video containing undercover images from slaughterhouses and large farms. The video, narrated by ex-Beatle and vegetarian Paul McCartney, is described as "gruesome" by PETA.
PETA issued a statement in response to the ruling.
"The Kansas State Fair's requirement that PETA hide its video from fairgoers is like the Wizard of Oz telling Dorothy that she can't look behind the curtain," the statement said. "We believe the First Amendment means that we can show our video without limitation to reveal what the animal agriculture industry wishes no one would see—that animals confined in filth on factory farms are routinely beaten and kicked by workers and have their throats cut open while they're still conscious at the slaughterhouse. We are considering an appeal of today's ruling."

iPhoto vs. Aperture vs. Lightroom
I'm currently using iPhoto for my rapidly expanding collection of pictures and am very satisfied with it, except for the fact that I've had to split my collection into many different libraries due to size constraints, and there's no way to make a smart album (say all my 5 star photos) that stretches across the various libraries.
Is there a way in Aperture or Lightroom to make a smart album that will search all the separate albums?
I know that the editing capabilities in Aperture and Lightroom are infinitely better than in iPhoto, but I use Photoshop Elements for that so I really don't care too much about that aspect when choosing a photo manager.
What I'm really looking for is a piece of software that allows me to split up my photos into different libraries and yet be able to create a smart album that crosses the library boundaries. I don't want to create one massive library as it would be very unwieldy and difficult to navigate.
Thanks for any advice,
|Aug 31, 2012, 02:38 PM
My experience is with Lightroom, so I will not comment on what Aperture can do.
In Lightroom "Libraries" are called "Catalogues", and "Albums" are called "Collections" so I'll use those terms.
No... you can not have an a Collection or Smart Collection span Catalogues.
However, Lightroom is adept at managing very large Catalogues...it was designed for professional shooters who may be taking 1000s of images in one day. One of the easiest ways to make a Catalogue more manageable is simply to create 2 or more top level folders, Work, Travel, Home for instance. Then you can nest Folders and Collections under those. An image that is both Family and Travel can appear under both Folders, and any edits you make to the image iwill be reflected where ever it appears.
You can do the same thing with Keywords and Smart Collections. Simply tag images as you import them with a top-level sorting word and use Smart Collections to sort your images appropriately. Smart Collections in Lightroom can very very sophisticated.
Hope this helps.

P.S. You'll probably end up enjoying editing in Lightroom and Aperture a lot more then PS Elements. The UI and results are excellent!

I should correct myself. snberk103's description is the same workflow for Aperture. When I organize I work within a single Library and use folders, albums, and smart albums. I haven't started any separate Library's, but I would imagine that Aperture would have the same limitation in that area as Lightroom. Sorry for the confusion.

A library is sort of the basic unit of these applications and hence it works on one at a time. Albums, folders, projects are all subsets and can be open at once.
The data and relationships assigned to the photos resides in the library, so once you're out of the library you lose it. You'd have to use another means to find stuff in multiple libraries. But even if you did, how would you work on three photos from three different libraries?
If your library is too huge, one way to deal with it is to use referenced masters. Store the photos in different places that you set up, and use one library. Aperture and LR are much better at this than iPhoto. It's then like Aperture or LR becomes a Finder for photos. And with Aperture you can export a subset of those photos as a library say to your laptop; work on them, and then remerge them back into your main library later.
|Aug 31, 2012, 08:36 PM
With Aperture you're able to merge all of your libraries as folders and each album being a "project" located inside folders.
You're able to make smart albums with Aperture.
I however love the Adobe RAW engine. It produces much better images than the Aperture engine and rivals DPP in quality. Apple really needs to update the Aperture RAW engine; it's really lagging behind, especially in the noise reduction, dynamic range and lowlight areas.

You can make smart folders in Lightroom. I haven't tried it yet, but I've prepared my images incase I want to. For example, when I upload a set I will tag the set, like you do when you upload to flickr. i.e. name of event, type (music, kids, sports, etc). From there you can create a collection. Right now I just have a collection that I marked with 5-stars. This pulls from my entire catalog any photos I give 5-stars to.
Like kevinfulton.ca said both Aperture/iPhoto and Lightroom are the same. Before I purchased either, I downloaded the trial versions to see if I like how it worked with my workflow. I've been using iPhoto since it came out and the main thing that I look for is how the App backs up my photos and organization. Both Lightroom and Aperture handle nicely when editing. I prefer LR over Aperture. In the future I will put Aperture back on my Mac because I like the book feature better and full screen features.
Check out this guys tutorials on LR

To move subsets of the liberty Aperture organizes your photos into "projects". For most people a project is one "photo shoot". Say one wedding or one vacation or whatever. "Projects" are the smallest unit that you move around between computers and on and off of vaults. Projects contain the raw files and any edits and meta data, they are self-contained
A smart album can contain images from any project. If the project is no physically on the computer then only thumbnail images are available. But when a project is loaded then the full res images are again editable.
So I'd say Aperture is very good at multi-terrabyte collections where you need to have only parts of the collection on a notebook while the entire collection lives on a desktop or server.
One thinf where Aperture is different from Adobe lightroom is that Lightroom pretty much ha its own workflow. Aperture does not have any preferred order of operations
In Aperture you can use the built-in edit functions or specify a third party app to be used. I use Photoshop as that app. Then from inside Aperture when I double click an image that image comes up inside photoshop, when a do a file->save in PS inthen goes back in the the Aperture library as a PSD copy of the image. Aperture "knows" the image it linked to the RAW file.
|Jan 2, 2013, 03:08 AM
I'm not sure if anyone came straight out and said this but yes both these programs can do what you want.
Neither can look across multiple libraries but...
Since both can use referenced files you could have all those files from multiple libraries now be in the same library. the thumbnails are not that big.
So in theory you could have a Aperture 2011 Library, an Aperture 2012 library.
If those files are external to the library file structure you could make a Aperture Master Library. If you copied each and then combined them. Do your smart search on this new combined library. This should not take up too much hard drive space.
I realize this isn't what this questions is about but I thought I'd lay out the differences between the programs.
I've been blogging about the differences, pros and cons between Aperture and Lightrrom a whole bunch here.
I'll try to summarize what I've been talking about in my blogs though.
The similarities between the two that do not exist in iPhoto are;
They both protect the color space
They both preserve the RAW file
allow area specific editing
interface with PS seamlessly
allow external HDD support
have advanced slideshow functionality
have large user groups making presets
have cut and paste adjustments
apply camera specific corrections
Differences between Aperture and Lightroom are minor.
Aperture has better Apple app workflow
Aperturet has photostream support
Aperture works inside iWeb, iPhoto, iMovie etc...
Aperture has more complete retina support (as of right now)
Lightroom has minor video editing capability (some photo edits can apply to video, easing workflow)
Lightroom works better with PS if you are doing HDR or timelapse
Lightroom's cummintity support is better. You'll get more free presets etc...
Lightroom has customizable brushes
Lightrooms brushes are additive and you can control flow
Lightroom can apply lens specific corrections
|Jan 2, 2013, 08:59 AM
What you want, Catherine, will not work with either Aperture or Lightroom. Separate Libraries/Catalogs are separate. The way you phrase the question makes it seem that you don't know how the workflow changes with Aperture or Lightroom. I'll use the language from Aperture since that's what I'm using, although it applies to Lightroom as well.
The best reason for having multiple libraries in Aperture is when your collection of photos is too large for a mobile Mac (e. g. a MacBook Pro). Usually your full/main library is then on an external hard drive or a desktop Mac, say, an iMac, while your on-the-go library is on the MacBook Pro. Aperture allows you to merge libraries, and merging works best if you don't edit photos on two machines simultaneously. Then you have to tell Aperture which version to keep. It's best to avoid this completely.
I don't know why you want to have multiple libraries, perhaps because you find it easier to find things. This is no longer necessary: unlike iPhoto, Aperture allows you to use folders to sort your content. I sort it by continent, year and month. That makes finding things very easy for me, but you should use whatever system works for you. Lightroom allows you to do the same, but there, the structure in your catalog is a mirror image of your file system (minus things like collections and so on, of course, which only exist in the Lightroom catalog). Both apps allow you to »offload« files to an external hard drive or network share, i. e. they will appear in your library, but you will only be able to access and edit them if you have access to the volume.
Also, about editing: there are edits which are infinitely easier to do in Aperture/Lightroom. One example is to apply white balance to a bunch of photos. That takes literally seconds, it's a copy and paste procedure. In a single-image editor like Photoshop, that's a lot more cumbersome.
So I would suggest you try and adapt your workflow instead of trying to shoehorn an existing workflow onto these apps.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.
|Jan 3, 2013, 09:19 AM
Since this got lost in another thread, I'll ask it here...
Thinking of making the switch. But before I do - I'm wondering if my biggest frustration with Aperture is my own doing.
I really only use Aperture for cataloging. I do most/all my adjustments either in Photoshop Raw Import and/or Photoshop
BUT... Aperture lags so much and always says "processing." So my question is - have I set up my Aperture "wrong" for speed. I imported my iPhoto (and subsequently - all my raw images from my camera) into an Aperture library. Is it better/faster to set it up where the photos are in regular photos on your hard drive and just referenced by Aperture?
I own (now) both LR4.3 and Aperture 3. So switching isn't a cost issue. I don't have a problem with Aperture other than its laggyness.
Thanks for any heads up...
|Jan 3, 2013, 03:14 PM
What you described is what I've done all along with Aperture. It also made it easy to switch to Lightroom since I could just point it to the folder structure that I also used for Aperture to import originals that I wanted to redo in Lightroom.
I haven't experienced the "always processing" problem with Aperture, though. It should only do that when rendering previews of images that need updating because of some change you made.

|Jan 4, 2013, 08:30 AM
All valid points. Which then beckons the original question. Do I stay with Aperture or move on to LR 4.3. Hmmmmm
|Jan 4, 2013, 08:40 AM
Personally, I made the decision based on the user interface. I know that Lightroom has quite a few advantages compared to Aperture, but I hate, hate, hate their modular user interface. Aperture is more free-flowing and I like that Aperture is willing to manage my files for me (although you can also manage files manually). I'd just try Lightroom and see whether you can work with it or not.

|Jan 4, 2013, 05:52 PM
Still using both
Aperture for apple integration, but I find lightroom produces the best quality prints!

I do not know if you have taken the plunge yet, but some months ago Apple made a tweak that allowed iPhoto and Aperture to SHARE the same library. So, now I have the best of both world. I can import photos in to either Application and edit them on either application. For this reason alone, I would recommend Aperture.
I am running in to similar issues with library size. Currently my library is 250-300GB and even with a Core i5 at home and Core i7 at work, the applications churn a while! There are applications out there that enable you to manage multiple libraries, but my current plan is simpler and that is to start a new library every 6 months to one year and switch between them by using the OPTION key when starting up Aperture or iPhoto.
IF you are looking for faster alternatives, you need to look at something like Lyn ($20), which can browse your Aperture and iPhoto libraries quickly. If you have deeper pockets you could try something like Photo Mechanic ($150). It is a strange beast built for ultimate workflow speed. I have not used it for many years because I found I was happy enough with iPhoto and was not sure I wanted to spend the money to upgrade from the version I had. I seem to recall this could easily handle multiple drives. It seems to have gained a few more editing and output features than it had before.
|Feb 17, 2013, 11:40 PM
I love the tips on working multiple libraries.
I did a lot of research on all the differences between Aperture and LR around the web and just updated this.
I just wrote this too on what I think is needed for Aperture 4;

Gartner held their annual Gartner Symposium/ITxpo in Orlando, Florida during October. There they talked about the top 10 strategic technology trends for 2013. Some of these will be very familiar to IBMers as they are areas we have been working in for quite some time as you will see from the links below.
What stands out are three main themes, mobile, cloud and data. Mobile and cloud could be said to be two sides of the same coin, with data being the edge that wraps around and connects them together. The final point about integrated ecosystems just demonstrates how technology is being more closely linked together. The idea has always been there but perhaps the means are only now being seen.
Here is the top ten with just a small selection of examples from IBM I've added in:
- Mobile Device Battles
Gartner predicts that by 2013 mobile phones will overtake PCs as the most common Web access device worldwide. (IBM Mobile strategy)
- Mobile Applications and HTML5
For the next few years, no single tool will be optimal for all types of mobile application. (IBM acquires app maker Worklight, debuts new enterprise apps)
- Personal Cloud
The personal cloud will gradually replace the PC as the location where individuals keep their personal content. (IBM Cloud Storage - Future Solutions video)
- Enterprise App Stores
Gartner believes that many organizations will deliver mobile applications to workers through private application stores. (Why businesses are creating their own internal app stores)
- The Internet of Things
The IoT will enable a wide range of new applications and services while raising many new challenges. (IBM has talked about this for some time video)
- Hybrid IT and Cloud Computing
As staffs have been asked to do more with less, IT departments must play multiple roles in coordinating IT-related activities, and cloud computing is now pushing that change to another level. (IBM unveils local enterprise cloud service) (IBM offers hybrid cloud) (Thoughts on Cloud)
- Strategic Big Data
Big Data is moving from a focus on individual projects to an influence on enterprises' strategic information architecture. (Big recognition for IBM Big Data) (IBM's Strategy for Big Data and Analytics)
- Actionable Analytics
Analytics is increasingly delivered to users at the point of action and in context - more decision flexibility at the time and place of every business process action. (IBM Bets Big on Analytics)
- In Memory Computing
Millions of events can be scanned in a matter of a few tens of millisecond to detect correlations and patterns pointing at emerging opportunities and threats "as things happen." (Is all in-memory the best for Analytics?)
- Integrated Ecosystems
The market is undergoing a shift to more integrated systems and ecosystems and away from loosely coupled heterogeneous approaches. Driving this trend is the user desire for lower cost, simplicity, and more assured security. Driving the trend for vendors the ability to have more control of the solution stack and obtain greater margin in the sale as well as offer a complete solution stack in a controlled environment, but without the need to provide any actual hardware.

Results vs. North Georgia (2008-02-09 13:00:00)
February 9, 2008
|Falcons Win Again
|Saturday, 09 February 2008
|DAHLONEGA, GA – The 20th-ranked North Georgia College & State University Saints dropped the second game of the three game series 3-2 to Pfeiffer University Saturday afternoon in non-conference baseball action.
Pfeiffer (5-1) continued to shut down the Saints offense the middle game of the weekend series, allowing just one earned run on the day.
Pfeiffer University jumped on top in the third inning with a sacrifice fly off the bat of Hayes Hinson to make it a 1-0 Falcons lead. They would add another run in the inning on three hits and strand a pair to take a 2-0 advantage.
North Georgia came right back in fourth and used speed on the bases to force a Falcon error and bring Logan Sharrett home for the Saints first run of the game.
North Georgia followed in the fifth and tied the game 2-2 on a groundout by Andrew Jones to bring Rob Flanigan racing home.
The game would not be tied for long however, as the Falcons took the lead once again in the next half inning on a Zach Strickland single to give Pfeiffer the 3-2 advantage.
The Saints threatened in the ninth with two on and only one out, but a Daniel Petitti line drive was caught and turned into a double play to end the game.
Pfeiffer will return to action tomorrow afternoon at 1:00 p.m. for the series finale against North Georgia.

Dog Nicotine Toxicity
Dog Nicotine Toxicity
Tobacco and tobacco products contain a poisonous alkaloid that comes from the tobacco plant itself; not only tobacco products contain nicotine. It can also be found in insecticides, smoking cessation aids, such as patches, inhalers and even gum. Nicotine alone is a poisonous substance.
Its toxicity is not limited to humans and the many children requiring emergency services due to nicotine poisoning. Your dog is also susceptible to nicotine poisoning. The ash tray sitting on your table or the carelessly discarded patch in the trash can be lethal to your dog. Chewing tobacco with its assorted flavors can also be attractive to your dogs. They enjoy honey, sugars, molasses and some of the other supplemental flavors found in designer chewing tobacco.
A toxic level of nicotine in your dog is five milligrams/pound of body weight. This is potentially a lethal dose.
Products with Nicotine
1. Each and every cigarette will contain varying amounts of nicotine depending on the brand. One cigarette has a potential level of fifteen to twenty five milligrams.
2. Popular nicotine gums contain two to four milligrams in each piece.
3. Patches will contain between 8 and 114 milligrams in each patch.
4. Nicotine sprays have between 80 and 100 mg. per bottle and .5mg per spray.
5. Cigars contain between 15 and 40 mg of nicotine.
6. A mere cigarette butt can have between 4 and 8 mg.
What these numbers tell you is that two to four cigarettes can present toxic signs in a ten pound dog.
Symptoms of Nicotine Toxicity
Depending on the amount of nicotine your dog has ingested, symptoms may appear mild or severe. Most dogs will have Dog Vomiting after eating a nicotine product. The symptoms of nicotine toxicity will usually occur within an hour of eating the product.
1. Generalized weakness
2. Visible tremors
3. Either hyperactivity or in the case of a high dose, Dog Lethargy.
4. Dilated pupils
5. Dog Diarrhea and vomiting can occur.
6. Collapse is possible if the dose is high enough.
7. Your dog can become clumsy and start stumbling.
8. Changes in the heartbeat. This can be either an increase in rate or a decrease in rate.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Your veterinarian may wish to conduct some testing. This will not be necessary if you witnessed the dog eating the nicotine product. Even with treatment, if the dose is extremely high, your dog may not survive.
1. Vomiting may be induced to lessen the amount of nicotine present in the stomach. This will occur only if your dog is alert.
2. If your dog merely touched your patch or other nicotine product, they will need an immediate bath with a mild soap or detergent.
3. If you dog is not alert, your veterinarian my pump the stomach.
4. Activated charcoal will be administered which will reduce absorption.
5. If the dog is severely compromised, it may be necessary to begin intravenous fluids.
Keep all nicotine products out of the reach of your dog. This includes anything that you use such as gum, cigarettes, etc.
If you witness your dog ingesting nicotine, call your vet or poison control center to get instructions on how to induce vomiting at home. If symptoms occur, take your dog to the veterinarian immediately.

The Birthday of the World: And Other Stories
The Birthday of the World: And Other Stories (Paperback)
Related Editions
The recipient of numerous literary prizes, including the National Book Award, the Kafka Award, five Hugo Awards and five Nebula Awards, the renowned writer Ursula K. Le Guin has, in each story and novel, created a provocative, ever-evolving universe filled with diverse worlds and rich characters reminiscent of our earthly selves. Now, in The Birthday of the World, this gifted artist returns to these worlds in eight brilliant short works, including a never-before-published novella, each of which probes the essence of humanity.
About the Author
Ursula K. Le Guin is the author of more than one hundred short stories, two collections of essays, four volumes of poetry, and nineteen novels. Her best-known fantasy works, the Earthsea books, have sold millions of copies in America and England, and have been translated into sixteen languages. Her first major work of science fiction, The Left Hand of Darkness, is considered epochmaking in the field because of its radical investigation of gender roles and its moral and literary complexity.
Three of Le Guin's books have been finalists for the American Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize, and among the many honors her writing has received are the National Book Award, five Hugo Awards, five Nebula Awards, the Kafka Prize, a Pushcart Prize, and the Harold D. Vursell Award of the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. She lives in Portland, Oregon.

Certainly one of the deal-breaker electrician questions, given the potentially high liability for this work. Electrical contractors should carry at least $500,000 in liability and workers' compensation insurance.

'Angry' Mike Pierce open to Rousimar Palhares rematch, says UFC made right decision to cut 'Toquinho'
Appearing on "The MMA Hour," Pierce talked about the incident and gave an update on the status of his ankle and knee:
"It's feeling a lot better. I'm still a little angry as you expect me to be, but, tomorrow I go in and get the MRI to see the exact extent of the damage on my knee and my ankle. Right now, it's feeling okay, I can walk and put weight on it. There could be a real issue there, I'm just not 100-percent sure. I can't describe it. I felt it pop a couple of times, once in my ankle and once in my knee. The MRI is going to be the determining factor to what the extent is."
As far as the "pops" Mike heard, he says he heard them after he tapped out:
"I felt it after the ref was already on top of us and I was tapping the ref so it was long after. It was after the fact. I think it's pretty clear to everybody who is looking at it honestly that he held on to it too long. I have no problem submitting if I'm caught or the potential of serious danger. That's why I tapped to begin with, because I knew I was caught and I wasn't getting out of it. But to hold on to it to the extent that he did, there was no reason for that, it was unnecessary. I was already giving up at that point because I knew I'd been caught."
Pierce gave his thoughts on whether or not Palhares has psychological issues:
"I'm not a psychologist nor do I really care, the fact of the matter is that he didn't let go and it's been a chronic problem for a long time so he needs to address the problem one way or another, how he does that, I really don't care, but it needs to be fixed."
Furthermore, Pierce said he wasn't too shocked Palhares pulled what he did, saying he almost expected something like that out of the Brazilian going into the fight based on his history (he called it):
Of course, I was expecting it. This has been a problem for him a long time. He got nailed for this in the UFC a couple fights back and even before he UFC he had problems with that at jiu-jitsu tournaments. I mean, didn't Bustamante just come out and say he did that in practice? Obviously, there is a history with this guy holding onto heel hooks. Whether it's intentional or unintentional, doesn't really matter, the fact of the matter is that he is hurting guys and people are tapping like I was and he is holding on to it for a just a fraction of a second too long to the point where it does damage."
As far as Rousimar being released by UFC, Pierce said it was the right decision to make:
"You know, that's up to Dana. I think he made the right decision. I think the commission made the right decision. This guy is hurting people and unnecessarily so. I understand if people get hurt, that's part of the sport and it's going to happen, but, to do what he did was very unsportsmanlike and pretty much goes against all the codes of conduct the UFC puts on us athletes."
In the end, Pierce says bottom line, Rousimar should have known better than to hold on longer than needed:
"Here is my point, the guy is a black belt in jiu-jitsu. My point is, he has plenty of experience in jiu-jitsu. He knows what the point of no return is, he knows how long is too long and there is no excuse for that, to go further than it needs to, unless you have bad intentions or really want to prove a point, maybe he has psychological issues, I don't know. I'm not a psychologist to make that decision, but I think he should have known better."

FORT WAYNE — Authorities have identified a 22-year-old man killed in a Friday night shooting that also left a second man critically injured.
Paul W. Ward III died at the scene, according to the Allen County coroner.
The second man's name has not been released. He remained hospitalized in critical condition Saturday, said Sgt. Mark Brooks, a Fort Wayne police spokesman.
Shortly after 9:30 p.m. Friday, police were called to the 700 block of Milton Street, just east of South Hanna Street.
When officers arrived, a green Oldsmobile sedan, parked on Milton next to the curb, was overheating, police said. In the front seat, officers found Ward and the other man.
Police said it appeared both men had been shot recently while in the car. The car was towed to be combed for evidence.
Witnesses told police they saw a man leave the car's back seat and flee on foot to the north. A description of that man was not released. On Saturday, Brooks said no arrests had been made.
Neighbors told The Journal Gazette they heard the car loudly revving before officers arrived. Police said firefighters came to help deal with the overheated engine.
Ward lived a few blocks from where the shooting occurred. His death was the 27th homicide in Allen County this year, the coroner's office said.

Latest & Long-Standing Favorite Beauty Products
12 comments :
Thanks, Janell! I know this post took a while to compile! I appreciate the links and the photo of what the tubes look like. Amazing how fast time passes and I am suddenly reaching for wrinkle cream. ugh.ReplyDelete
I feel like my neck alone is what is making me look my age! I need uplift and firming..know of a good one for that? It is a roulette wheel for me as to what to use. Im onto Strivectin lately but need to give it a month or two to see results..I do think products are so affective these days, and with sunscreen built in, the youths today will benefit so much more in their lifetimes. I went for 45 years with only using sunscreen when I was at the ocean. Now it's my mission in life to use it everyday..hope its not too late!ReplyDelete
xo Nancy
Love #11 product. It works well and smells fabulous. have a great weekend and thanks for sharing. The picture frame tip is a unique idea, might have to steal that one.ReplyDelete
Wow. It's obvious your skin is looking great, so maybe it's time I did a re-think of my lowest-maintenance-possible approach!ReplyDelete
Love the tray idea, I'll probably steal that one.ReplyDelete
i LOVE hearing what other people use. its the best way to get reviews on products! i still think you should bite the bullet and try La Mer. But sounds like youve got a pretty great line up. and by the looks of your pictures, you always glow!ReplyDelete
I LOVE Moroccan Oil. Best stuff ever! I use the light version and it works wonders for my fine, oily hair.ReplyDelete
And can I just say I love your DIY tray! Very nice!
Thanks for sharing your beauty secrets with us. I am always open to hearing about new products. I am intrigued by the Marula Oil....may need to pop in Sephora for that one. Any help to the neck area is welcome! I've been using the Skin Ceuticals line. Love their AGE Eye Complex. The Moroccan Oil Treatment is a must on my counter as well. Happy weekend Janell.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing! I am certainly entering that stage where I seem to need a few more beauty products to fight/cover those lovely signs of aging.... I've specifically been looking for a foundation (I've never worn one)..... I'll check out your recommendation.ReplyDelete
Such a great and informational post! I am going to take notes and bookmark this. I do use Morrocan oil, and think Shiseido makes excellent products. I always enjoy these kinds of posts...have a great weekend.ReplyDelete
Great Post! The Bare Minerals Primer is the best. I wear it even when I'm not wearing foundation. It gives my skin a more polished look.ReplyDelete
I've tried shisheido sunscreen and found it very chalky and drying. I've been a long time devotee to bare minerals foundation but have never tried their primer. I will need to give it a try!ReplyDelete

The showpiece at the D23 Expo LEGO booth was definitely the 8×15 foot mosaic featuring a photo of Walt Disney and the D23 Expo official portrait by Tim Rogerson.
The mural, which consists of more than 150,000 1×1 bricks (in 19 colors), was assembled over 3 1/2 days by thousands of D23 Expo attendees. Each volunteer was handed a randomly chosen color-coded square to which the individual bricks were attached.
The incredibly popular LEGO mosaic creation was so fun that even Disney and Pixar Chief Creative Officer John Lasseter couldn't wait to do his part.
Just prior to the D23 Auction, a ceremony was held in which the winner of the official Donald Duck portrait was announced. The contest was held in honor of Donald's 75th Anniversary and took advantage of recently-discovered unawarded Duckster awards within the Walt Disney Archives. The award, originally commissioned by Walt Disney, has been awarded less than two dozen times and has not been given out in at least two decades.
Mickey and Donald joined the stage as the winning portrait was unveiled, announcing Jennifer Sleeper as the winner.
Congratulations to Jennifer and all of the other well-deserved finalists.
The D23 Expo Auction event kicked off with 'Rhythm and Hue' artist David Garibaldi taking the stage (and often taking to the air). Using a combination of music, movement, paint and inspiration, Garibaldi (who once toured with the Blue Man Group) creates portraits of cultural and historical icons in just 5-7 minutes each right before the audiences' eyes in a super dynamic performance.
Between paintings (three in all), David would address the crowd and offer words of inspiration and dream chasing, citing his own years as a misguided youth as a street graffiti artist.
Each of David's three paintings that night were also introduced as surprise lots during the auction. His rendition of Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey, a landscape-oriented portrait (rare for Garibaldi), was not only performed for the first time ever during the event, but also provided one of the auction's more intense moments with a heated bidding war to help close the night.
Below is a photo gallery of David's performance of his second two paintings of the night along with some photos from backstage where Garibaldi signed and even dedicated his pieces — at least when he wasn't being bombarded by his legions of fans.
As always, click on any thumbnail to see a larger version or click on the PicLens link to start the slideshow and be sure to check out Garibaldi Arts.
A primetime special for preschoolers and their families, "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Choo Choo Express," starring Disney's beloved Sensational Six – Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck and Pluto – premieres SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25 (7:00-7:45 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel. In the colorful special of this Emmy Award-nominated series, Mickey and pals climb aboard the Clubhouse Choo Choo Train for a snow-filled adventure. Grammy Award-winning alternative rock band They Might Be Giants and the Sensational Six themselves each perform a new song in the special.
Burbank, September 11, 2009 — Radio Disney, which Billboard magazine ranked among the Top 20 on its Maximum Exposure list of ways to get music noticed, will launch an all-new edition of its "Next Big Thing" (N.B.T.), a daily multi-platform programming feature that puts the spotlight on young recording artists and provides them with national broadcast and online exposure. Over the course of 10 weeks, beginning WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, Radio Disney listeners will be introduced to five unsigned N.B.T. artists, age 12-17, and invited to look, listen and vote for their favorite at RadioDisney.com or by texting "NBT" to DISNEY (347639) (Msg. & data rates may apply. If you're under 18, get your parent's permission first.) . The highest ranked N.B.T. artist will have the opportunity to have their single featured on the upcoming Walt Disney Records' Radio Disney Jams 12 CD. Simultaneously, Disney Channel will present a preview of each artist and a sampling of their musical talent in interstitials hosted by Tiffany Thornton ("Sonny With a Chance").
Michael Riley, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Radio Disney, said: "We're creating a fully encompassing environment to showcase great new artists on Radio Disney with further exposure on Disney Channel, Disney.com and our N.B.T. mobile website; providing a truly immersive multi-platform experience for kids and families."
Two-time Emmy Award-winning actress Patricia Heaton (ABC's new series "The Middle") and music group Five For Fighting will be the first stars for Season 7 to volunteer in the GET ON THE BUS campaign on "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." The new season begins with a two-part episode, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 27 (7:00-8:00 & 8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on ABC.
Capturing the momentum of the Obama administration's focus on volunteerism, "EM:HE" will show that community service is cool again with the new GET ON THE BUS campaign. For the first time ever for the series, "EM:HE" will have famous celebrities and extraordinary volunteers GET ON THE BUS for the weeks of house-building during the season. So far the other celebrities volunteering include Tyler Perry, David Duchovny, Mary J. Blige, Clint Black, Xzibit, Trace Adkins, Ashley Tisdale and Kellie Pickler.
When the new season begins, these special guests will contribute far more than special appearances – they'll be part of the design team. In each episode, the iconic "EM:HE" bus will pick up a new volunteer to join the team and help during the build, providing a rare chance to visit America's heartland and connect with real people who need help. Celebrity volunteers will pull up their sleeves, create a design project and put their personal stamp on the home. They will get to know the family's circumstances and needs one on one. In between pouring foundations and framing walls, some of the celebrity volunteers will jump right into the center of the town — connecting with the locals, hanging out with the design team, spearheading a community project and bringing their unique personality and talents to the project. It's not all hard labor and sweat — every episode has plenty of room for good times with good people. Getting on the bus will allow America to get to know the celebrity volunteers in an entirely new way — as a real person who wants to make a real difference.
BURBANK, Calif., Sept. 13 — London will host a traditional Dickensian Christmas with a little Disney magic this holiday season as Jim Carrey, Colin Firth, Robin Wright Penn, Bob Hoskins and Academy Award -winning filmmaker Robert Zemeckis come together to celebrate the World Premiere of "Disney's A Christmas Carol" on November 3, 2009. The festivities include a history-making coordinated Christmas Lights Switch-On: for the first time ever, the world famous Christmas Lights on Regent and Oxford Streets, plus the festivities in The City of London – at the very heart of Dickensian London – will share the same theme of "Disney's A Christmas Carol."
NEW YORK, Sept. 14 — "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" with Emmy Award-winning host Meredith Vieira is making big changes to the show's "money tree," giving hot seat contestants the opportunity to win even more money this season! Contestants will still face 15 questions to win the top prize of $1-million, but will be able to reach the higher level questions faster as the monetary values of the first eight questions will increase. The new "money tree" will take effect on Monday, September 14.
Millionaire will no longer start with the first three questions being valued at $100, $200 and $300. Instead, contestants will jump right into big-action game play with their very first question valued at $500. Contestants will reach the first safety level of $5,000 (formerly $1,000) after correctly answering the first five questions. At that point, they are guaranteed to win at least $5,000 from their hot seat appearance. The monetary values for the next three questions will also increase, leading up to the next safety level of $25,000.
"We've launched our own little stimulus package this season on Millionaire," said Michael Davies, Executive Producer on the hit game show. "Regular Americans from all over the country have always been the stars of our show. This season, we'll be giving them the opportunity to win even more money in the Millionaire hot seat," he added.
Here is a rundown of the newly revamped Millionaire "money tree":

Cars 2, due out in summer of 2011, finds its foundation when Lightning McQueen is invited to participate in the International Race of Champions, a world-wide race in which McQueen competes against all genres of racing cars.
Inspired by the press junkets Lasseter used to make around the world while promoting Cars, Lasseter said he often found himself wondering 'What would Mater do?' when encountering all of the different types of unique driving experiences around the world, such as driving on the other side of the road in London, the roundabout in Paris, viewing scooters in Italy as gnats, etc.

Saru has confirmed its plan to relegate the last-placed South African franchise at the end of the season.
This proposed solution was made by Saru's executive council at its special general meeting in January. The top four teams on the SA conference log would therefore join the Kings in 2013. As it stands, the Lions would drop out.
Saru said a promotion-relegation play-off would then take place after the 2013 and 2014 campaigns.
However, the franchises requested that a decision on the mechanism of qualification be postponed to allow them time to make alternative proposals. The officials at the general meeting accepted the request. Saru CEO Jurie Roux asked for it to be recorded that this delay was at the franchises' request, therefore precluding the franchises from criticism of late decision-making.
A final decision will be made after meetings with the SA Super Rugby franchises on 17 May, the Saru executive committee on 24 May and the Saru general council on 13 July (21 rounds into the 2012 Super Rugby tournament).
'Rugby has been consistently united in supporting the Kings' place in Super Rugby in 2013,' said Roux. 'Our focus has been on finding a rugby answer to the questions that flow from that that's fair, transparent in its mechanism and will strengthen South African rugby in the long run. Those discussions continue.
'Until a final decision is reached, the franchises and the Saru presidency are agreed that it would be unhelpful to the competing teams to publicly debate the pros and cons of different scenarios. When a decision is announced we will be able to report back to rugby supporters in full.'
