Thanks for the info.
From perfumemaster.org: A new version of Dior Homme Cologne is coming in January/February, at least in Europe.
Notes: Bergamot, Grapefruit Blossom and Musk.
I guess the 2007 version will be retired, so stock up if you liked that one!
Thanks for the info.
Is that all of the notes? If so, it sounds nice and simple. I don't know if I have room for yet another iris-bomb in my collection.
Grapefruit again? Goodness is that not be overplayed?
Hope it smells better than it sounds!
My friend who works with the Dior house said that it reminds her of Dior Homme Sport wich i can see in the notes. So no buy for me.....
The original was lovely, but FAR too light and fleeting, even for a cologne.
Stock up on 2007? I can't find 2007 anywhere (at least in US).
Looking forward to testing the new one. I'm a sucker for Dior Homme and all its flankers even though I'm not a fan of the new DHS.
What is this thing? Doesn't look masculine at all like DH and DHI
This looks simplistic. The bottle looks beautifully cold and uncompromising. Looking forward to a new masculine from dior.
I'll try it when it hits stores here as I love Dior and it's creations, but I was hoping they'd release a masculine. Oh well, it might turn out to be a pleasant surprise. Hope it will be.
Didn't see the point of the first one and don't see a point to this one.
Will it be as impossible to find as the original?
I am certainly looking forward to giving this one a sniff...
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'm very fond of the original. Don't want to be too negative without actually sniffing the new version first, but. . . this doesn't sound very promising.
Where is the original available?
Really look foreward to trying this one out. It brings to mind Kenzo Power Cologne, which I really enjoy. The packaging of the Kenzo lists bergamont, cedar and vetiver. Its smells awesome and I certainly feel there are other notes going on in the accord. It doesn't list iris, but I feel it has something there that resembles it. I hope the new Dior Homme Cologne comes close. I am so glad they decided to release another one.
The original can still be found. If I loved it, I could have it. But alas, I don't. I still see it for sale online and in perfume shops. A little pricey, but when you really appreciate something, that doesn't stand in the way for a Basenoter.
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.
More HERE
Please PM me !
Thanks, will have to test this one.
As long as they don't mess with DH & DHI again, they can put out whatever else they want. DHS actually benefitted for a new formula though imo.
I am real glad that Dior is revamping their line up
so any other info on this?
Tried this one today. Nice, though nothing new. Dior Homme Cologne is a light modern citrusy cologne. I feel citruses (a tangerine type) on a soft (like a cotton fabric!) musky base. Reminds of Dior Homme Sport without ginger or twice less strong Allure Homme Sport Cologne Sport. No connections with old Dior Homme Cologne.

Got this as a present and like it. Really a lighter version of Allure Homme Sport Cologne - lemons, lemons, lemons. Though nice longevity and sillage for cologne concentration.

Lovely bottle thats for sure....but hows the scent?
I was at Sephora today and they had it in so I gave it a sniff and asked for a sample to take home.
Here's what I think about it: http://chemistinthebottle.wordpress....-cologne-2013/
I tried this at duty free. I was not impressed; it smells like a typical citrus cologne and there are better, more natural smelling variants out there of this formula. I couldn't even detect any of the Dior Homme signature iris, which is what made the 2007 DHC so magical and beautiful.
I am a big fan of the 2007 DHC, and it is miles better than this thing.
Sounds like vintage Dior Homme Sport without the potency. Thanks for the info.
Sampled it a few days ago, it is a watered down Dior Homme Sport (2008 version), with a bit more citrus added. Longevity is average, projection is mediocre at best (did 3 sprays in the same spot on my wrist to get these results; so i guess that compared to the usual spraying, both longevity and projection are awful - for just one spray in a spot).
Sigh, was really hoping this'd be something awesome
Anyone seen this in the UK?

I recently fell out of love with Dior Homme. No interest from me.
The video review of new DH Cologne: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvutqcq00y4
I keep hearing people say that they expected more from this one and that it's nothing more than a citrusy light summer fragrance. What were people expecting? A heavy winter masculine hit from Dior? I think it's pretty obvious from the note breakdown how this one was going to to be and there is nothing wrong with a relaxing cool strictly seasonal fragrance. Pretty clear thats what Dior was aiming for.
Going simple is sometimes the way to go, great to visit this classic cologne style theme.
Keep the reviews coming!
The original version of Dior Homme Cologne is a spectacular transformation of the original EdT into a sort of modern cologne effect. It has all the best parts of Dior Homme EdT, reimagined as a cologne - lighter, more refreshing - but still retaining the distinctive "make up bag" notes. It's in a large, beautiful version of the original bottle. Have to say, what I'm reading here is not getting me too excited. . . but I'll end up springing for it nonetheless, since I love DH, DHI, and original DHC so much. An encouraging development: I keep reading that the new formulation of DH Sport is more like the original EdT. Now that is a spectacular idea. I own and kind of like the original sport version. I'll end up getting the reformulated sport sooner than later.
A bar soap version of original DH would be most welcome. Calling Dior. . .
To the people saying a "lighter version" of Chanel AHS Cologne.... seriously?
That stuff is as light as it gets...smells like 10% lemon juice, 10% alcohol, 80% water.
CREED Aventus
Frederic Malle Musc Ravageur
DIOR Homme Intense
Guerlain L'IDGExtreme
Chanel Platinum Egoiste
Chanel Allure Edition Blanche
Jean-Paul Gaultier Le Male
Thierry Mugler Pure Malt
I have two samples and I think this is very nice. This was never created to wow anyone. François Demachy excels at fruity/citrus tops with musky bases that's the style of many of his frags. The aim was clean, fresh and minimalist frag and in that respect it's a success. Dior PR "A pure signature based on notes of Calabrian Bergamot, Grapefruit Blossom and White Musks. Dior Homme Cologne, an essential luxury that dares to be radically simple." This is actually an EDT and the longevity for me was excellent.

The original cologne lasted for all of 15 minutes and was little more than a massively watered down DH. I never understood the love for it.
I can still smell it on my clothes a full day after. And again people this is an EDT
Concentrations only truly make sense in relation with each other for the same kind of formulation.
That is to say, a Dior Homme Cologne EdT is likely to be more intense and lasting compared to a (hypothetical) Dior Homme Cologne EdC, but is less intense and less long-lasting compared to (again hypothetical) EdP and extrait versions of Dior Homme Cologne.
It is no use having an extrait version of an eau de cologne (genre, not concentration) type perfume consisting mainly of citrus oils and little base materials (such as sandalwood, or oakmoss, for example). The extrait is only going to be more intensely citrusy but will still be quite short-lived.
I absolutely agree I was just clearing it up in case anybody had any assumptions of this being an EDC. Even if it was the longevity is still great.

I sampled this today, and I have to say WOW. First, it's got good staying power even on exposed skin without a pulse point (my hand) and it smells ... well, divine. Also, it's been on a pretty dry hand now for at least six hours, still going very strong. I don't really know how you can get bad longevity out of this one. Also, the simplicity is what attracts me to it. It's just so damn good, uncomplicated and smooth.
I'd like to draw an analogy to Dior's Prive collection and Cologne Royal. To me, Dior Homme Cologne is actually similar, or may even be better. I'll try to get a head-to-head between the two going, I just have to aquire Dior Homme Cologne first - and I'm pretty sure I will. Not much have exited me lately, but this gem is surely damn good. That grapefruit working with the musk is just simple, classy and great.

Could we have this in the database please!
Will this be available in the states?
I find the grapefruit dominant at least for the first hour, after which it mingles with the musk to create some sort of smooth, chilled out cologne that stays on for ages (at least on me).
You should try it out yourself - I can't promise anything, and if grapefruit tickles your fancy, I suggest Terre D'Hermes as well, but this cologne is pretty damn good and grapefruity in my book.
Would love to see it in the basenotes register.
After a couple of minutes of good smelling citrus, it goes down hill to this generic and bad smelling fresh scent. A unworthy release from Dior again
I like this one. Simple, wearable, and lovely. Bright citrus + smooth musk combo. And it last forever.
Gonna snag it soon. Gots to call Dior and see if they have it.
Must try this one. Went out looking for it last week, not available anywhere.
I'm loving my bottle. Minimalist, clean citrus musk. My favourite part of this frag is how damn natural it smells. Excellent longevity also from this frag.
Is this available in the U.S.? Would be nice for the summer.....
dying to get my hands on this...

Farewell to the digital agency?In this opinion piece Angela Smith argues digital agencies have no place in the modern marketing mix. It's 2015 and the term 'digital' in marketing as a specialisation is outmoded and the notion of 'The Digital Agency' is a non sequitur. Given 81 per cent of Australians have smartphones on them every waking hour, using laptops, desktops, and tablets simultaneously – it seems a little old fashioned to distinguish digital as a separate discipline.
TEDxSydney 2015: The short filmsEach year thousands of people descend on the Sydney Opera House for TedxSydney. The 2015 event, held yesterday, saw film makers and ad agencies create videos on topics from child literacy, to disability, society's obsession with consumer goods to more artistic films on the environment and water. Here are this year's TedxSydney videos:
APN on the hows and whys of its new paywall strategyYesterday APN News & Media announced it was setting up paywalls on its regional media websites. Director of sales, products and technology of Australian Regional Media Clayton Cooke spoke to Nic Christensen about the thinking behind the strategy and whether regional news media can get consumers to pay for content. We've seen News Corp and Fairfax Media struggle to get their digital subscriptions above a certain level. Are you worried about resistance among regional readers when it comes to paywalls?
The creative brief is the most important document an agency hasThe need for creative briefs from clients has caused some debate lately, but Craig McLeod argues it is needed now more than ever. A lot has been written about the creative brief lately. Last year Patricia McDonald wrote a great piece entitled Planning for Participation. Or there's Martin Weigel's recent post: On the necessity of briefs, client briefs and creative briefs.
Mashable content chief Jim Roberts on looking for a journalist obsessed with Elon MuskJim Roberts is the executive editor and chief content officer of 10 year-old digital media website Mashable. In this extract from a Q&A with Mumbrella with Asia editor Robin Hicks, the former assistant managing editor of the New York Times and executive editor Thomson Reuters Digital talks about what he says to detractors about Mashable's broadening of focus beyond tech, what he thinks of brand newsrooms, and why he wants a reporter who knows everything and anything about Elon Musk.
Even at the US upfronts TV has become a dirty wordTV is big business, and nowhere is it bigger than in the US. Gavin Ashcroft travelled to New York for this year's upfronts, but found even in the US TV has become a dirty word. The New York Upfronts are a marquee industry event both in the US and globally, and when you read the list of venues from Madison Square Garden to Carnegie Hall and Radio City you get a real sense of the scale and spectacle you can expect. There is a lot of great content coming down the pipeline with a raft of new shows from each of the networks – although I question whether there is one show that I could hang my hat on and say it will be massive.
Are Facebook Instant Articles a faustian pact for publishers?Facebook has launched its Instant Articles product to encourage publishers to post articles to the site. Matt Rowley looks at what it means, and asks whether it is a 'faustian pact'. This week Facebook and nine of the world's top publishers including The New York Times, Buzzfeed, the BBC and The Guardian launched Instant Articles. I believe they have the power to be a user experience breakthrough for Facebook and to transform publishing - for better or eventually for worse.
How Much Is It Worth?Ever wondered what the real price of media is? Our regular spot How Much Is It Worth reveals both the ratecard price and what agencies really pay for it. This week's How Much Is It Worth asks how much would it cost to buy: a 30 second TV spot during Reno Rumble; 1,000 pre-roll ads on a News Corp tabloid website; a 30 second ad on Fox FM and a full page colour ad in Zoo Magazine.
Can Aussie publishers make paywalls work or are we approaching the ceiling?This week senior execs from the world's top news organisations came together at the INMA 2015 World Congress, with the future of paywalls a hot topic of conversation. Nic Christensen looks at what was being said, and asks whether paywalls are really a viable option for Australian publishers in light of today's circulation figures. Publishers across the world are at a crossroads. There are two alternatives they face at this point: pull up stumps after investing in expensive paid content strategies deciding they've hit a barrier they can't get over, or hold their nerve and look to break the subscriptions ceiling that confronts many of them?
Global publisher association boss: traditional and new media are two ends of a burning ropeThis week more than 500 of world's top newspaper executives converged- in New York for the International News Media Association (INMA) World Congress. Nic Christensen sat down with executive director Earl Wilkinson to talk about the organisation and the challenges facing his members globally. You mentioned in your statements to the World Congress that paywalls are a decreasing priority for your members, branded content has been a big focus of the 2015 Congress - from your perspective what is top of the agenda for publishers when it comes to revenue question?
The Washington Post's new revenue streams - a model for other publishers?The Washington Post has outlined some of its new revenue streams and how it is changing the business model under the guidance of Jeff Bezos. Ross Dawson asks if it sets a model for other publishers. The opening INMA World Congress keynote on the second day was from Steve Hills, president of the Washington Post, who spoke about the state of publisher's business, since its acquisition in October 2013 by Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos. He shared some fascinating insights that are highly relevant to any news publisher looking to create the future.
Not all corporate tax avoiders will be snared by new rulesIn this cross-posting from The Conversation Kerrie Sadiq of the Queensland University of Technology questions what effect new rules to stop multinational companies avoiding tax will have in effect. Joe Hockey's budget announcement of two major tax integrity measures was flagged before the budget was handed down, but even that came as no surprise. Integrity, or lack thereof, in our tax system is a hot topic and an easy target for a Treasurer looking to sell a federal budget.
Measurement is ruining your relationship with consumersIn this opinion piece Jörn Sanda argues the focus on measuring everything is ruining relationships between consumers and brands. The Devil doesn't come dressed in a red cape, sporting pointy horns. He comes in everything you measured for. Brands are failing their potential by measuring marketing, sales, reputation, customer experience, support, etc - as thinking defined by these terms drives a wedge between consumers and brands.
Why no one watched your branded videoThe majority of brand funded videos only draw a handful of viewers. Jamie Crick argues marketers are failing to take a very basic principle into account when drawing up their plans. Asked to name two marketing growth areas, many would pick online video and content marketing. Both ultimately owe their ascent to the bandwidth improvements that are shifting consumer demand away from scheduled programming - and they're coming together as never before now that the SVOD market has reached a level of maturity in Australia.
What should you be asking potential ad tech partners?With so many ad tech solutions promising different things JJ Eastwood looks at some of the questions clients should be asking when looking to find what's right for them. Whether we like it or not, the way that media is bought and sold in this country is transforming at an unprecedented rate. And with it, innovation in the advertising ecosystem is bringing a huge range of new opportunities for brands, marketers and agencies. For the most part media buyers, both agency side and client side, are embracing this change. Any conference billed as 'programmatic' sells out immediately, and a slew of so-called 'experts' are popping up everywhere to add their opinion.
Big Bang is best of non-news shows in Wednesday ratings
The Big Bang Theory triple play helped give Nine a strong result in the top ten shows on Wednesday night.
The three episodes of the American sitcom placed sixth, ninth and tenth for the network across the five city metro markets, according to preliminary results from Oztam.
The first episode, which placed sixth, was also the number one non-news or current affairs show for the evening.
Nine didn't manage to take the night's top spots however. Seven News won the night with 1.14m followed by Today Tonight on 1.07m.
Nine News came second on 1.04m and A Current Affair taking 0.95m.
ABC News rounded out the top five with 0.92m viewers while Ten's highest rating show was The Biggest Loser in seventh place with 0.88m viewers.
A repeat of Talkin' 'bout Your Generation was Ten's second highest rating show with 0.66m viewers.
For SBS, Wildest Africa was the network's highest rating show taking in 0.32m viewers.
The networks are currently in a non-rating period over the Easter break.
Across the multichannel market, the Seven network took out the top four slots for the night as Heartbeat for 7TWO took 0.31m, in front of 7Mate's Man vs Food with 0.242m, Downton Abbey on 7TWO with 0.241m and 7Mate's American Pickers with 0.238m.
Rounding out the top five shows across the multi-channels was Bananas in Pyjamas with 0.237m.

The Brothers Bray and Co. Collaboration
posted on 04/01/2012 5:03:00 PM
Interest in resurrecting the Sebago® Campsides program from the 1980s had brothers Kirk and Chris Bray knocking on Sebago's door. After initial meetings, another pattern caught their eyes as a better collaborative fit, an archived shoe called the Fairhaven. The style was originally designed to meet the needs of boat builders in New England and had a beautifully-simple design. The Brothers Bray apply their expertise from years handcrafting leather goods, to create their footwear collaborations with Sebago.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Sofitel Chicago Water Tower
20 East Chestnut St - Downtown, Chicago, IL, USA
Neighborhood: Near North Side
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Often a new city hotel has to settle for adapting an existing building, shoehorning modern interior design into a prewar skyscraper or hiding boutique flash behind an unassuming facade. Not so the Sofitel Water Tower. Architect Jean-Paul Viguier was allowed to start from scratch, and the result is striking — a dramatic bright white wedge-shaped building that looks for all the world like a giant ice breaking ship cutting its way across Chicago.
The inverted wedge shape, while arresting enough from the outside, has a delightful effect on the interiors as well — guest rooms on the underside of the wedge protrude out over the sidewalk, allowing a unique view straight down onto the street.
Of course in some chain hotels one would prefer to look out the window, rather than catch a glimpse of the tired decor and flabby furniture. Here, again, this hotel is different; Sofitel is a chain, yes, but one with respect for design — guest rooms feature Barcelona chairs by Mies van der Rohe and the hotel lobby is stocked with a small library of books about Chicago architecture and design.
Let's not forget the creature comforts — though the Sofitel Chicago Water Tower Hotel could certainly get by on good looks alone, it is a fully-functioning big-city luxury hotel, with high-speed internet, 24-hour room service, spacious bathrooms, and a convenient downtown location, just off the Magnificent Mile. Though the staff may speak with French accents, and the interiors are deeply European, there's little danger of forgetting where you are — those vast picture windows have commanding views of the city's unique architecture, if you can tear your eyes from the sidewalk below.
How to get there:
Sofitel Chicago Water Tower is located a few blocks from the Chicago Ave. station on the red "L" line and approximately a 30 minute drive from Chicago O'Hare International Airport. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com to arrange airport transfers.

Reading Like a Writer: A Guide for People Who Love Books and for Those Who Want to Write Them
Reading Like a Writer: A Guide for People Who Love Books and for Those Who Want to Write Them (Paperback)
Long before there were creative-writing workshops and degrees, how did aspiring writers learn to write? By reading the work of their predecessors and contemporaries, says Francine Prose.
In Reading Like a Writer, Prose invites you to sit by her side and take a guided tour of the tools and the tricks of the masters. She reads the work of the very best writers—Dostoyevsky, Flaubert, Kafka, Austen, Dickens, Woolf, Chekhov—and discovers why their work has endured. She takes pleasure in the long and magnificent sentences of Philip Roth and the breathtaking paragraphs of Isaac Babel; she is deeply moved by the brilliant characterization in George Eliot's Middlemarch. She looks to John Le Carré for a lesson in how to advance plot through dialogue, to Flannery O'Connor for the cunning use of the telling detail, and to James Joyce and Katherine Mansfield for clever examples of how to employ gesture to create character. She cautions readers to slow down and pay attention to words, the raw material out of which literature is crafted.
Written with passion, humor, and wisdom, Reading Like a Writer will inspire readers to return to literature with a fresh eye and an eager heart.
About the Author
Francine Prose is the critically acclaimed author of nineteen novels, including the National Book Award Finalist Blue Angel and My New American Life. She has written three other novels for young adults: After, winner of the California Young Reader Medal, an IRA/CBC Young Adults' Choice, and a New York Public Library Book for the Teen Age; Bullyville, a PW Best Book and Book Sense Children's Pick; and her most recent, Touch. She is also the author of two picture books, Leopold, the Liar of Leipzig and Rhino, Rhino, Sweet Potato. The recipient of numerous grants and honors, including a Guggenheim and a Fulbright, Francine Prose was Director's Fellow at the Center for Scholars and Writers at the New York Public Library. She lives in New York City.

-Washington Post Book World

-Los Angeles Times
"The passages are…subtle and brilliant in their capture of human complexity…Prose is…a skilled…analyst of what makes them so."

-More magazine

Last week Canon announced a replacement for its amateur D-SLR but also two STM enabled lenses for continuous tracking of moving objects: the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM and the EF 40mm f/2.8 STM.
Here is our preview of the EF 40mm 2.8:
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
To website
Our review of the Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM lens. In the latest of our lens reviews brought to you in partnership with DxOMark, we take a look at Canon's slimline 'pancake' prime for its APS-C and full frame SLRs. It's one of the smallest and cheapest lenses currently on the market, and includes a stepper motor for silent focusing during movie recording. But does its small size and low price result in compromised optics? Read our review to find out.
Read the article
The Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM (29-216mm in 35mm) has many seductive strong points for photographers and videographers. Here are our first impressions:

This analyzer is recommended to launch analysis on Maven projects.
You must have previously installed and configured Maven for Sonar and read Analyzing Code Source.
Analyze a Maven Project
Analyzing a maven project consists of running a maven goal in the directory where the pom.xml sits. If possible, an install goal should be performed prior to the sonar one.
Recommended way
skipTests=true not to run unit tests twice: during the install goal and again during the sonar goal. You can also deactivate the integration tests execution. Please refer to the Maven documentation.
Alternative way
When the above configuration is not possible, you can run an analysis in one command, but unit tests will run twice: once in the install goal and once in Sonar. Do not use the DskipTests=true parameter, otherwise Sonar will not execute unit tests and therefore not report on them.
The -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=true is there to make sure that event if unit tests fail, the analysis will happen
Project Settings
For advanced features such as reusing existing unit test reports, you can define advanced parameters. These parameters can be defined:
in the Maven command-line (see next section):
in the properties section of pom.xml:
Note that command-line properties override pom properties.
How to fix version of Maven plugin
It is recommended to lock down versions of Maven plugins. Two versions of the Sonar maven plugin exist, one for Maven 2 and one for Maven 3. Fixing its version depends on the Maven versions used to analyse the project :
Project analyzed with Maven 2 only
Add the following code to pom.xml :
<build> <pluginManagement> <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>sonar-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.0</version> </plugin> </pluginManagement> </build>
Project analyzed with Maven 3 only
<build> <pluginManagement> <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>sonar-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.0</version> </plugin> </pluginManagement> </build>
Project analyzed with both Maven 2 and Maven 3
<build> <pluginManagement> <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId> <artifactId>sonar-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>${sonarVersion}</version> </plugin> </pluginManagement> </build> <profile> <id>maven-2</id> <activation> <file> <!-- basedir expression is only recognized by Maven 3.x (see MNG-2363) --> <missing>${basedir}</missing> </file> </activation> <properties> <sonarVersion>1.0</sonarVersion> </properties> </profile> <profile> <id>maven-3</id> <activation> <file> <!-- basedir expression is only recognized by Maven 3.x (see MNG-2363) --> <exists>${basedir}</exists> </file> </activation> <properties> <sonarVersion>2.0</sonarVersion> </properties> </profile>
Reuse existing unit test reports
If you generates JUnit and Cobertura/Clover/Emma reports with your build mechanism you can configure Sonar in order to collect them. To do that, you must add the following lines in your pom.xml file:
The property sonar.cobertura.reportPath can be replaced by sonar.clover.reportPath if you use Clover instead of Cobertura.

Here's hoping you come out of retirement. I'm seriously considering it but doubtful after playing two rounds this weekend...
My putter still doinks harder than yours!
I'm sorry to hear you can't play Daniel. I was hoping you would be able to swing it since it's only one round a day, but I totally understand if you can't.
If you change your mind the last chance to register is Friday at CV.

I was really bummed yesterday after playing my 2nd in two days with Team Nasty Pants. It wasn't pretty...
Maybe I'll feel better this weekend. I'll see what I feel like on Friday and make a final decision.

Tyler Horne and Dutch Napier have registered along with some tough competitors from East Lancing, MI and Ft. Wayne, IN.

Frans Steyn's benefit from an overseas rugby playing experience is further evidence of the changing landscape of South African rugby.
Francois Louw is a better player now than when he left Western Province for Bath. Percy Montgomery returned to South Africa a more accomplished player than the 50 Test veteran who left for Wales and who many accepted was past his best and would never again play Test rugby. Montgomery added 52 Tests to his CV, won the Tri Nations and was integral to South Africa winning the World Cup in 2007.
He never turned his back on South Africa. Montgomery was drained from the routine of Super Rugby, Test Rugby, Currie Cup Rugby and Test Rugby. He wanted to experience something else and he just needed a bit of time away from the public glare. Montgomery has often told me what his time in Wales taught him was to be a rugby professional and to assume the responsibility of the overseas professional. He said he grew up as a person but more so his rugby matured because he was taken out of his comfort zone.
Ditto Louw and ditto so many other South Africans who are currently playing in Europe, the United Kingdom and Ireland, and even in Japan.
It is the way of the modern game the our best players can command the highest salaries in European club rugby and it is not a crime for any young player to want to reap the financial rewards, experience a change of pace in life, grow as a person and by circumstance of experiencing new responsibility become a better rugby player.
The vitriol from within the South African rugby support base is a common package directed at any player who wants to experience an overseas stint. Immediately he is cast as the villain and immediately the local based player is put on a pedestal of loyalty to the national jersey and the national flag. It is absurd in the context of the evolution of the sport as a profession, and it betrays the incredible value to those players who at an early age experience the overseas influence and return to South Africa in their mid 20s so much wiser and adding so much more value to rugby teams in South Africa and to the national cause.
I've constantly been amazed at the 'out of sight out of mind' attitude, especially when so much of the English Premiership, French Top 14 and Heineken Cup is shown on SuperSport, and that so many of the South African players are consistently the best performers.
Somewhere a misguided principle of patriotism has painted these South Africans as sinners to the cause of the South African game because their talent allows for interest and lucrative financial reward from Europe's wealthiest clubs.
Ronaldo did not sell out to Portugal soccer because he earns his monthly salary at the club prepared to pay him his market value and more. The same applies to every South African soccer talent that is overseas based. I don't want this misinterpreted as saying being based overseas makes a player automatically better than what is based in this country but why choose one or the other when the option should be to choose both or make an informed national selection based on player pedigree and form and not where the player is based.
Steyn won a World Cup at the age of 20. He had won a Tri Nations and a British and Irish Lions series at the age of 22. He needed something to rekindle the enthusiasm of the schoolboy who won his first Test cap a year after finishing his schooling. He went to Paris very much a young man with a sheltered view of the world and return a mature young man with a very different view of the world, of his own country and of his responsibility to his chosen profession.
Steyn, had he stayed in South Africa, may at 26 years old have been considering giving it all up and playing out the final four years of his career in a less demanding Japanese club environment for huge financial gain. He may have given up on the ideal of Bok rugby and contributing to rugby within South Africa because seven successive years of scrutiny and intensity within the South African rugby landscape had drained him and left him exhausted, fatigued and flat.
His move to France turned a boy into the man who John Plumtree has now entrusted with the captaincy at the Sharks.
Plumtree said Steyn was a leader of men, a player with vast experience, in South Africa and abroad, and a winner. He also knew what it meant to be a professional.
It is a fantastic endorsement from Plumtree but also reward for a player who never betrayed South African rugby and also never betrayed his love for the game. Instead he recognised what he needed to reinvent his enthusiasm and to challenge his comfort zone.
Steyn is just one example of how leaving South Africa for a short term gave him an appetite for a longer contribution to the game in South Africa.
Steyn's story is one that hopefully continues to challenge the outdated and simply outrageous belief that a player who leaves South Africa to play abroad sells out on South African rugby and should be treated as a traitor. Judge a South African player on what he offers this country's national rugby and not on the country in which he decides to get reward for his rugby talent.
Supporter mindsets must change because the professional status of the player has ensured that their mindsets also had to change.

There was a serious problem the minute they tried to squeeze a square peg (nine best picture nominees) into a round hole (five best director nominees).
"They," of course, are the nearly 6,000 members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences who cast votes for the Oscars. As soon as the academy decided that nine films would be honored, while only five directors would be recognized, four filmmakers were destined to be snubbed.
And there is no way to feel other than snubbed when your film is nominated as best picture, and you are not nominated as best director. After all, if your film was good enough to be nominated as best picture, it is only logical that you also be nominated. Best picture nominees don't direct themselves.
When this year's five nominees were announced (Steven Spielberg, Ang Lee, David O. Russell, Benh Zeitlin and Michael Haneke), the directors immediately feeling a snub included Kathryn Bigelow ("Zero Dark Thirty"), Tom Hooper ("Les Misérables"), Quentin Tarantino ("Django Unchained") and Ben Affleck ("Argo").
This column is not meant to imply that the five nominated directors are undeserving, but rather it is a plea to correct this professional slight in the future. Make it a rule that the directing category be expanded in direct correlation to the expanded best picture category. It's only fair.
In the meantime, I am concerned about how the snubbed directors are learning to live with their public humiliation. In particular, I am worried about Ben.
Bigelow ("The Hurt Locker") and Hooper ("The King's Speech") have won directing Oscars before. Tarantino won an Oscar for his "Pulp Fiction" screenplay. Yes, Affleck also won a screenplay Oscar ("Good Will Hunting") but he had to share it with best buddy Matt Damon. He has no solo gold to put on the mantel. Whenever someone congratulates him on the Academy Award, he is obliged to point out that Damon did some of the work.
It was a fascinating but confusing week for Affleck, who was unceremoniously dumped by Lady Oscar in the morning, and then was handed a best director prize later the same day from the Broadcast Film Critics Association. It doesn't matter that these are the same 270 critics who never met a movie they didn't like, and then fill endless movie ads with gushing quotes. Their award helped ease the pain for Affleck, and I'm sure he appreciated it.
A few days later, there was another shocking development in the continuing Ben Affleck Snub Saga when the Hollywood Foreign Press Association gave him a Golden Globe for best director, and then topped off the evening with a best picture nod.
Ordinarily, these two critics awards would establish Affleck as the frontrunner in the Oscar race, but we don't want to gang up on the poor guy. Still, two meaningless awards are better than nothing.
I suspect that once the shine fades on those two awards, and all the Oscar hype begins, Affleck is going to get pretty depressed.
I'm really worried about what he might to do. Therefore, I've put together a list to remind Affleck of everything for which he should be grateful. That's right; here are 10 reasons why Ben Affleck should live a full and rewarding life, long after Oscar night is forgotten.
Always remember, Ben, that it's always darkest right before the trailers start.
1. You're still tall, rich and handsome.
2. You're still married to Jennifer Garner.

|Introduction | Pentax K-30 Sensor Performance | Pentax K-30 Versus Competition | Conclusion
With a DxOMark Score of 79, the Pentax K-30 takes 23rd place among all cameras tested on DxOMark, tied with such older-generation full-format digital reflex cameras as as the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, the Sony Alpha 900, and the Sony Alpha 850.
The K-30 is only one point behind the Nikon D7000, D5100, and D700, and only two points behind the Canon EOS 5D Mark III. Such results are harbingers of image quality of the highest caliber, and corroborate our hypothesis that the K-30 is equipped with a Sony 16Mpix CMOS sensor.
The Pentax K-30 is very close to all of the benchmark cameras on the digital photo market: after all, when it comes to DxOMark Scores, a difference of 5 points represents only 1/3 of a stop. Be careful, however: the K-30's excellent ranking is primarily due to its very good performance at low ISOs, and even then, its low-light performance is still a ways behind that of full-format cameras.
Color depth: At 23.7 bits, the Pentax K-30 places 23rd in the rankings, thus a score in perfect alignment with its overall score. Its result is 1.8 bit lower than those of the heavyweights (the Nikon D800 and D800E), but is nearly equivalent to the 24 bits of the Canon EOS 5D Mark III.
Dynamic range: Here we find the excellent behavior of the K-30's 16-Mpix Sony APS-C CMOS sensor — a dynamic range score of 13EV that puts this amateur tropicalized camera at 18th place in the rankings. Its score is slightly lower than those of cameras presumably equipped with the same sensor, such as its big brother, the K-5 (which scored 14.1EV, putting it in 3rd place), but it comes out slightly ahead of the Sony NEX-5N.
Low-light ISO: The K-30's score of 1129 ISO puts it in 23rd place yet again on our list — the same performance level as for color depth and for overall score.

Pentax K-30: Indicative price 1199 (USD)?
I had a look around but I cannot find the K-30 ever being introduced for anything near $1199. It now shows up on your site as more expensive than de K-5 II ($999).
On dpreview the published press release says: "The new PENTAX K-30 will be available at retail outlets nationwide and online in July 2012 with a suggested retail price of $849.95 for body only, and $899.95 for the kit including the DA L 18-55mm zoom lens." On Amazon.com the list price is $750 but they sell it for $630.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the Joint Economic Committee (JEC), Chaired by U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA), released a new report finding that targeted tax credits may provide additional incentives for business owners to add workers, and would be particularly beneficial for small businesses, which account for a substantial majority of business establishments and are responsible for a significant share of the hiring during the recovery.
The report entitled, "Tax Incentives for Small Business Hiring and Investment: Strengthening the Backbone of the Economy," finds that enacting a tax credit for businesses that hire additional workers or increase the hours and wages of existing employees would help to sustain and accelerate the recovery. While private-sector employers have added jobs for 28 consecutive months, the pace of job growth has moderated in recent months.
"Small businesses are critical to our economic growth," said Chairman Casey. "We must continue to support job creation by targeting tax incentives to those that hire more employees and grow their business."
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has determined that a well-designed tax credit for increasing payroll is among the most effective policies for promoting growth and putting people back to work. Based on current average weekly earnings of private sector employees, a business would receive a tax break of approximately $4,200 over the course of the year for hiring an additional worker paid the average amount. Additionally, extending the 100 percent depreciation deduction for major purchases through 2012 would reduce the cost of investment and promote economic growth.
"The Small Business Jobs and Tax Relief Act (S. 2237), will provide businesses with tax cuts for hiring new workers and investing in their business. Many small businesses want to expand and hire more workers and this bill will help them do that now," said Chairman Casey.
The Small Business Jobs and Tax Relief Act, which the Senate is expected to vote on this week, would provide a tax credit of 10 percent of the excess of 2012 payroll over 2011 payroll for firms that expand payroll. In order to target the tax credit to small businesses, the proposed credit is capped at $500,000 per firm, or 10 percent of a payroll increase of $5 million. Additionally, it would extend the 100 percent depreciation deduction for major business investments through 2012.
Continued Casey, "Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and Congress must make sure that they have the support they need to help put more Americans back to work. Our recovery continues to make progress, but we must do everything we can to spur immediate job creation."

Date Reviewed: March 27, 2013
Strengths: Very good quality aluminum housing and more than enough lighting under all driving conditions. It is a value for money light, that comes with all the needed accessories. Power indicator is really good and can save you from running out of battery. The autonomy is around 3 hours, with the standard battery. Using it for almost 1 year in Greece, where the temperatures during summer nights are quite high, it never overheated.
Weaknesses: Steering wheel installation rubber could be firmer, in order to prevent light from changing angle when passing over bumps or large stones.
Light beam could be less wide and more focused. Led battery power indication should go off when you turn off the light
Bottom Line:
I totally recommend it!

Your Bank: It's more than a place to get free candy and custom checks
Banks and technology have evolved in the past 20 years and this has changed the way you interact with your bank. Even though the buildings, technology and even the industry have changed, your relationship with your bank is still the same.
You should still expect a partner in your bank. The professionals at your bank should walk you through financial situations so you can plan beyond simply paying your monthly bills.
Your bank should:
- Help you create a financial plan that is a series of relatively simple steps that fit into your life in a practical way,
- Advise on relevant, current topics, and
- Connect the dots between global economic issues that could impact your goals
Banks have a responsibility to be transparent and to provide you the tools to achieve your financial dreams! Check out this video about what an advisor at your bank can do to help you do just that.

Thanks for everyone's help at the CVO. I also loved the format this year, sleeping late on Sunday was great. CV has teeth and they always seem to show, especially in tournaments. Looking forward to the next CVO already, and Tyler's artwork.
