Programs crucial to local seniors could be the next domino to fall if the government shutdown persists.
Dan Wooten, director of the Active Life, said Troup Transit funds are in jeopardy if Congress fails to pass a budget. The transportation program is administered by Troup County Parks and Recreation but funded through federal grants.
"If they pull the funding, we will get a one-day notice," Wooten said.
The transportation programs brings seniors and others to places around town like the senior center and other agencies such as the Department of Children and Family Services, mental health centers and New Ventures.
Wooten said he has about 45 clients who use Troup Transit and he's looking into other options to get them to the center if the program shuts down.
"We're looking at several plan B's," he said. The senior center participants could carpool with other senior center clients who can drive or Wooten could use parks and recreation buses, among some options.
Once he gets everyone to the Active Life on Ragland Street though, he may have to figure out how to feed them.
If the shutdown goes on for 14 days, the senior center will get a notice that its meal program would shut down in 30 days.
The lunch program at the Active Life is popular and draws a line of seniors getting a lunch ticket as soon as they arrive in the mornings.
Wooten said the center serves about 110 lunches on site and and West Point Senior Center and delivers meals to more than 70 home bound residents.
"We're looking at alternatives for people in the greatest need with our staff and volunteers," he said. "We're not going to leave those people hanging. We're going to do what we can do."

About The Database
The National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI®), a repository for nursing-sensitive indicators, is a program of NCNQ®. NDNQI is the only database containing data collected at the nursing unit level. As you peruse this site, you will be able to obtain information on its history, a menu of NDNQI nursing-sensitive indicators, NDNQI enrollment procedures, samples of quarterly reports to participating facilities, and examples from facility nurse liaisons of how NDNQI reports have been used to improve care.
NDNQI is a dynamic program. New nursing-sensitive indicators are added to the database; new projects are initiated; and new facilities join regularly. The guiding forces behind NDNQI are constantly trying to determine how this program can be enhanced to better serve the participating facilities and the nursing profession better, therefore, the dynamic nature of the project.
NDNQI History
In 1994, the American Nurses Association (ANA) launched the Safety & Quality Initiative to explore and identify the empirical linkages between nursing care and patient outcomes. The Nursing Care Report Card for Acute Care (ANA, 1995) proposed 21 measures of hospital performance with an established or theoretical link to the availability and quality of nursing services in acute care settings. In 1997, ANA issued a call for organizations to submit proposals to develop and maintain the NDNQI. Midwest Research Institute (MRI) and the University of Kansas School of Nursing (KUSON) were selected by ANA to take on this task because of their expertise in database programming and outcomes research. From 1997 - 2000, a series of pilot studies were funded by ANA to test selected indicators: definitions, data collection methodology and instrument development. Selected state nursing associations (Arizona, ANA/California, Minnesota, North Dakota, Ohio, Texas, and Virginia) were involved in the pilot projects. See below for a listing of publications that were created as a result of this work.
Additional publications (See Resources below) are available for review and were also generated as part of this work. NDNQI has grown both in terms of the number of participating hospitals and in the number of indicators. NDNQI began accepting data from hospitals in 1998 and to charge for the process of data submission and comparison reports in 2001. The database eventually moved from MRI to the University of Kansas School of Nursing in 2001.

Degrees Offered throughout the State
The School of Politics, Philosophy, and Public Affairs is located on two campuses of Washington State University, at Pullman and Vancouver.
On the main Pullman campus, the department offers a B.A. in political science, a B.A. in philosophy, a graduate certificate in bioethics, an M.A. in political science with a focus on global justice and security studies, and a Ph.D. in political science.
The department also offers a B.A. in public affairs and a master of public affairs (M.P.A.) at the Vancouver campus.
Faculty Addressing Real-World Problems
The school's faculty have a wide range of research and teaching interests and are nationally and internationally recognized for scholarship with a focus on problem-driven research that confronts both traditional and emerging challenges in the U.S. and throughout the world.
Faculty members routinely lend their expertise to a broad range of local, state, and national government agencies and nongovernmental groups. This involvement on the 'practitioner side' of policy serves to enrich both faculty research and teaching.
Hands-on Teaching and Learning
Our award-winning faculty place great emphasis upon providing exceptional undergraduate and graduate programming, with a unique emphasis on research collaboration at the graduate level. The use of 'active learning' approaches to instruction at the undergraduate level are used extensively by faculty involving elaborate policy-making simulations, crisis-management simulations, and a highly accomplished Mock Trial team.
These hands-on teaching strategies reflect the problem-driven approach to research and instruction emphasized by our faculty and their ability to bring real-world perspective to students in the classroom.
Honoring Nick Lovrich
A new fund to provide summer research support for WSU graduate students has been established in Dr. Lovrich's name.
The sooner we endow the fund, the sooner WSU can make the first-ever Lovrich Award. We're more than halfway there. Please make your gift today!

Show your support for conserving Florida's manatees and sea turtles by giving someone a decal as a holiday gift that will have a lasting effect. It's easy and affordable. With a $5 donation, you can receive one of the manatee or sea turtle decals shown here and at the same time help protect some of Florida's most treasured species. The money collected from the decals goes into trust funds that support these imperiled species with research, rescue and management efforts.
This year's decals celebrate the presence of manatees and sea turtles (los manaties and tortugas marinas) 500 years ago in Florida when Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon landed on this peninsula and named it La Florida, land of flowers. Manatees and sea turtles were among the native wildlife seen by Ponce de Leon and his crew. Ponce de Leon also designated a cluster of islands 70 miles west of Key West as Las Tortugas, because of the many sea turtles nesting there.
As with other Florida beaches, the islands of Dry Tortugas National Park still have loggerhead and green turtles coming back year after year to lay their eggs. Today, the manatee is the state's designated marine mammal and the loggerhead sea turtle is the state's saltwater reptile.
Order the manatee decal .
Order the sea turtle decal .
You also can get the decals at local county tax collectors' offices.

Detroit Lions Tickets
Detroit Lions Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews
2013: 7-9 When Aaron Rodgers went down in Week 9 for almost the entire rest of the season, the NFC North became fair game for everybody else. The Lions had a wild year, but they put it together to dominate Green Bay 40-10 in Week 13; the win put them at 7-5, in first place and in control of their own playoff destiny. Unfortunately that would be the last game they would win. The Lions lost the next four by an average of just five points per game. The problems came down to an unbalanced offense, nimble pass defense, and completely dead pass rush that came up with just 23 sacks, last in the NFC. QB Matt Stafford (4,650 pass yds, 29 TDs) set a career high in interceptions with 19 and at times looked more desperate than ever. Reggie Bush (1,006 yards, 4.5 yds/carry) finally provided Detroit with reliable production from a running back, but it came down to it the Lions were overly pass-happy as usual. Bush couldn't muster 95 rushing yards in any of those last four games. Despite the late-season struggles, the Lions are still undoubtedly an offensive-focused team. It'll only get easier for Calvin Johnson (84 rec, 1,492 rec yards, 12 TDs) now too as the signing of Golden Tate (898 rec yards) finally provides Johnson with insurance to take some defenders off him. They also have a great pair of tight ends in Brandon Pettigrew and Joseph Fauria (7 TDs). Which makes it odd that they would use their valuable first-round draft pick on another tight end, UNC's Eric Ebron. There's really no excuse for Stafford to continue to struggle so much, but even if he doesn't who knows if the offense can keep up with the defense. Rookie Ezekiel Ansah led the team in sacks with eight in his rookie year but Nick Fairley and Ndamukong Suh combined for only 11.5. Then they lost DE Willie Young to division rival Chicago. It seems the only impact defensive additions will be free agent signee safety James Ihedigbo from Baltimore and second-round pick Kyle Van Noy, a linebacker. If Stafford can control the turnovers, though, the Lions should be one of the most exciting teams in the league to watch. They can also take a page out of the Packers book by winning games through scoring a ton of points with just a mediocre defense, making plays more often than not. That doesn't require a shutdown defense but it does require the team to play as one. Chemistry and morale issues that have plagued this team recently need to be put in the past. And that's where new coach Jim Caldwell comes in. Caldwell has led successful teams in Indy before and he needs to use that experience here. It's trendy to hire coaches with no prior NFL head coaching experience right now, but it was an even smarter move for the Lions to hire the proven guy. The fan base has been waiting for the team to put it all together. Get your Detroit Lions Tickets today from Gold Coast Tickets!

Varicose veins are most commonly experienced by aging or pregnant women. Although they are a result of poor blood circulation Health911 says certain foods may help prevent varicose veins from collapsing.
Vitamin C is said to protect and help maintain vein health. Foods that are high in vitamin C include: grapefruit, oranges, broccoli and red bell peppers.
Health911 says it is important to eat foods with an anti-inflammatory effect since inflammation in the body is one of the leading causes for swollen veins. Green and black tea help reduce inflammation of the body. Drinking lots of water and eating foods high in fiber helps reduce constipation and overall pressure in the body.

Guest blog by April Bowlby, actress, animal lover and runner!
I'm so excited to join Team ASPCA for the Rock 'n' Roll Brooklyn 10K this weekend! I've never really considered myself a runner, but I've been a jogger for about a decade.
I was talking to my friend and trainer Christopher Lane, and he told me about the 10K happening in Brooklyn. At first I was skeptical, but then I was told I could be a part of Team ASPCA, and that sealed the deal.
Three years ago, on June 13, to be exact, I adopted Clementine from a shelter in Atlanta. Clementine is some kind of doodle. We aren't exactly sure. My friends call her a floppity muppet. I call her the best decision I have ever made. So I'm running for the ASPCA to spread the word that adoption is an amazing option, and it's personally enriched my life beyond words.
Training for race has been slow and steady. Christopher knows that I get overwhelmed when thinking about the full six miles. He set a slow and easy training plan for me to follow. I started by just run/walking 10 minutes down the road, then turning around and running 10 minutes home. I did this for the first couple of weeks, I progressed to 15 min each way, and then 20. I eventually felt comfortable running for a full hour. I like to train outside, but if I'm forced to run on a treadmill, I like to break it up. I run 10 minute intervals, then walk some and run 10 again.
For me, it's not about competition. It's not about speed. It's about getting out there, getting my body moving, and being a part of a great cause. So, just to be clear, I won't be winning the 10K, but I will finish! If I can share with everyone what a blessing adopting my sweet Clementine has been, it will all be worth it.
Join us this Saturday in Prospect Park to cheer on April and the rest of Team ASPCA at the Rock 'N' Brooklyn 10K.
Clementine looks like the sweetest, most endearing dog in the world. I am so happy for you, April, and thank you for spreading the word about shelter adoptions. What you are doing is just so positive, committed, fantastic! Enjoy the 10K and your darling Clementine. You are blessed to have found each other.
I agree, Clementine is a cutie!
And I agree that shelter animals are the very best pets!
I hope many people see the two of you and choose to join team ASPCA as well, and support the dedicated workers who help animals find wonderful forever homes.
Thank you for your efforts.

(AP) After a tussle with major shareholder Elliott Management, the New York energy company Hess is splitting the roles of chairman and CEO.
John Hess will hold his CEO job and the company will bring in John Krenicki, the former GE vice chairman, as non-executive chairman. Krenicki must still be elected and the change will take place after the company's annual shareholder meeting on Thursday in Houston if approved by shareholders.
Elliott has been pushing for changes at Hess and is seeking to get its own slate of nominees elected to the board.
Hess has accused the hedge fund of trying to disrupt progress it has already made in reshaping itself as a pure-play exploration and production company.

Any diehard stargazer will tell you that springtime is galaxy time. As Earth orbits the sun, our position on Earth is presented with different parts of the sky at any given time of the night. During the early evenings of summer, we stare straight into the disc of our Milky Way, a glorious view of our own galaxy.
Unfortunately, the stars and dust of our galaxy block the view of more distant parts of the universe. During the early evenings of spring we look at a right angle to the disc through the thinnest part of the Milky Way. The sky is sparse with stars, but more distant galaxies appear. Stargazers with telescopes can observe hundreds of galaxies in a night — from the glorious face-on spiral of the Whirlpool Galaxy near the handle of the Big Dipper to the toothpick-thin edge-on NGC4565 to the Virgo Cluster of galaxies where scores of galaxies of all shapes and sizes reside.
When one considers that each galaxy is itself a Milky Way of hundreds of billions of stars, our tiny planet orbiting its below-average star pales to insignificance.
Of course, we haven't always known our place in the cosmos. For most of the history of civilization, humans have believed that the Earth was at the center of the Universe. That is what our common sense tells us as we look at the night sky.
As we stare at the bowl of the night, we seem to see ourselves at the center with the sun, moon, planets, and stars circling around us endlessly.
People like Galileo got into a lot of trouble for saying that the Earth is just one of the planets circling around the Sun, and that the Sun is just one of many stars in our galaxy, and, more recently, that our galaxy is one of many in a Universe of incomprehensible size.
However, in an important sense, the ancients were right. The Earth IS the center of the Universe.
Much to their amazement, modern astronomers discovered that virtually all the galaxies they look at are moving away from our point of reference, the Earth, at incredible velocities. It looks as if the Universe is expanding with the Earth at the center of the expansion.
To understand that rather strange paradox, we must consider how modern astronomers believe the Universe came into being.
The Universe began as a single point that expanded into the present cosmos in a cataclysmic explosion called the Big Bang.
Our present Universe can thus be conceived of as the surface of a huge balloon, the still expanding remnant of that immense explosion that occurred billions of years ago.
Neither the outside of the balloon or its inside exists, only the balloon itself. All that exists, including not just matter but space, is in the surface of that balloon. All the dimensions of space — height, width, and depth — are thus curved along the surface of the balloon.
There is no center to a balloon. In a sense, any single point on the balloon could be called the center. And from the point of view of any given point, all the other points are expanding away from it as the balloon gets bigger.
Thus, there is no center to the Universe, just as there is no center to the balloon's surface. But in a very real sense, EVERYTHING is at the center, with everything else expanding away from it.
The Earth is no longer an insignificant speck in a nowhere part of the Universe. It is just as significant as everything else, at the center of a cosmos with an infinite number of centers.
And if you understand that fundamental concept, please explain it to me. My head gets it well enough, but I have yet to understand it in my heart, where it counts.
Saturn is still high in the south in the constellation Virgo.
This week's big news is the spectacular conjunction of four planets low in the east during morning twilight. They will move around a bit over the course of the week, so the best way to identify them is in order of brightness. Venus is purest white and brightest of all. Nearly as bright is Jupiter. Next comes reddish and much dimmer Mars. Mercury is dimmest of all and may require binoculars to see.
Start about 45 minutes before sunrise. Try to find an eastern horizon free of trees and buildings, look low, and wait. The objects will get higher as time passes, but so will the amount of twilight.
The morning of May 11 (My birthday!) will be particularly spectacular because the two brightest of the four, Venus and Jupiter, will be so close that they'll look like two gleaming cat's eyes staring at you from the darkness.

Early income tax filers should expect to receive their federal income tax return a week later than in past years, due to the Internal Revenue Service pushing the date it will accept returns back one week.
The IRS traditionally accepts returns beginning Jan. 22, but will accept them starting Jan. 30 this year because of Congress' 11th-hour passage of spending and tax legislation to avert the much-feared "fiscal cliff" at the end of 2012.
The legislation is known as the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.
"We have worked hard to open tax season as soon as possible," Steven Miller, acting commissioner of the IRS, stated in a recent news release. "This date ensures we have the time we need to update and test our processing systems."
The move affects more than 120 million tax filers who typically file early in the annual tax season, which lasts through mid-April.
"It is going to delay the refunds an additional week," Wendy Rhodes, franchise owner of Liberty Tax Service in Kinston, said Monday.
Staffers at Liberty and other tax preparing firms around Kinston and Lenoir County have spent recent weeks preparing for the upcoming filing season, and dealt with uncertainty as the "fiscal cliff" deadline approached.
"We have gotten all of the forms now, but they're just doing things on their end so they're ready when the (electronically filed returns) are sent into them," Rhodes said of the IRS.
Officials with the IRS have encouraged taxpayers in recent years to file their returns electronically in order to receive a refund quicker. The agency offers free filing through its webpage, irs.gov/Filing.
Gene Rybolt of Kinston serves as the local coordinator of the AARP's Tax-Aid program, working with volunteers who help Lenoir County's senior citizens file their tax returns.
Rybolt said the majority of the local clientele has a federal income tax rate of 10 to 23 percent, the "low to moderate-income" taxpayers.
The program is scheduled to begin in early February, but Rybolt said he has not yet received critical information from the IRS, such as guidebooks for the 2012 tax year.
He also said the late acceptance date would push back the time in which seniors could receive their refunds.
"Anyone that's going to get income credit, they file immediately so they can get their money back," he said. "Most of the work that we do in February and March is some type of refunds."
Rhodes said taxpayers can file their returns now as long as they have their W-2, 1099 and other required forms — the IRS will not "open the window" until Jan. 30, though.
She said filing before Jan. 30 would ensure taxpayers' returns are not backed up with those who file on that day.
Rhodes also encouraged electronic filing "because everything is going electronic."
"You can paper-file your return and they'll process it when they get to it," she said of the IRS.

Quick hits:
The IRS has made some of the following changes due to 'fiscal cliff' legislation for tax year 2013:
n Marginal income tax rates of 10, 15, 25, 28, 33 and 35 percent remain the same
n Individuals with incomes of $400,000 and couples with incomes of $450,000 have a 39.6 percent rate
n Alternative Minimum Tax exemption increases to $51,900 for individuals and $80,800 for couples filing jointly
n These changes and more affect taxpayers filing their returns in 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by GolferGirl Great Summer Golf shoe Comfortable golf shoe for summer. The arch is built up and makes them extremely comfortable for walking. They are stylish and look great. I do agree with other reviews that the toes are too pointed....wish they were more rounded. Cleaning them does require some effort...but they do clean up nicely. This is my second pair!

Rated 2 out of 5 by babe524 Hard to clean This golf shoe looks great, however, the mesh prohibits good cleaning. Dirt gets stuck between the leather and the mesh. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. January 26, 2013

What is a DLL? A DLL, short for Dynamic Link Library, is a library that contains both code and data that can be used as a shared DLL or resource DLL by more than one program or application at the same time. Using Windows DLLs or DLL libraries allows the developer to make more efficient use of memory and disk space, as well as allowing for a more modular approach to the application design that encourages componentization and code re-use.
A DLL library can be used as a software component to add functionality to your application or project, without the need to spend the time to write all of the code yourself. You will find .NET DLL products and C# DLL products here for a variety of common tasks that are both visual and non-visual.
For example you will find dynamic DLL products that are datagrid DLLs that enable you to provide data grids or to present datatables in your app. Or if you need full calc engine functionality there are spreadsheet DLLs available too. If you are looking for charting DLLs or graphing DLLs, you will find several products here to include in your application to draw pie-charts, bar charts, line graphs etc.
Other visual DLL libraries listed here include: a DLL editor for text editing and word processing, calendar DLLs for planning and scheduling, Computer Aided Design or CAD DLLs, image processing DLLs and image conversion DLLs and DLL libraries for document imaging & scanning, OCR DLLs for optical character recognition projects, as well as complex DLLs for multi-media and video compression tasks, or a simple dynamic DLL to display a barcode.
You will also find non-visual dynamic DLL products, that work in the background to add functionality to your your application, such as sending and receiving emails via SMTP or POP or transferring files via FTP or HTTP over the Internet. Or non-visual data reporting DLLs to create daily management reports or scheduled MIS reports overnight or to create PDF files in batch mode using a PDF DLL library to carry out the file format and conversion task for you.
You will also find similar C++ DLL or CPP DLL products or DLL libraries for your Visual C++ application or the equivalent Borland library for your BC++ project code.

Everyone has his own reasons for the number of sprays he chooses to apply. There's no wrong answer here IMO.
First of all admittedly I'm quite a heavy sprayer and save for A*Men and Le Male I use about 6 sprays (sometimes more) per fragrance. I've never once (and I've checked) offended anyone with my scent. My best friend has an absolutely fabulous wardrobe of wonderful frags which goes wasted. He will spray two sprays, one to each pulse point and I've never detected anything on him...nadda, zip!
That "Cologne guy" some are worried about becoming is often spraying 10-15 sprays of his go to scent. I knew a teen that used to wear 20 sprays of Le Male!! That guy you think is overapplying isn't applying 6-8 sprays...he's doing far more! My advice is don't waste a good frag collection...let people smell you! I think alot of current designer 2-3 sprays is under-applying.
Everyone has his own reasons for the number of sprays he chooses to apply. There's no wrong answer here IMO.
Depends on where and when. In an office setting, two or three sprays of some fragrances will make you "that cologne guy." Bois du Portugal can do that. On the other hand, running around town on the weekend - sure, have another spray or three. Just use common sense - don't load up before you go to movies, restaurants, church, in-laws' house, etc., and you'll be fine.
yea, I'm always a little self-conscious about my cologne usage.
my standard is 2-3 sprays. I don't spray my wrists anymore because I wash my hands. So its usually 1 to chest. 2 to neck. either front and back, or two sides. stronger stuff like DHI or Aventus I limit to 2 small sprays.
I really only want to be smelled faintly when I'm less than 2 feet from someone, and even then, I don't want it to just hit them in the face. that and I want there to be enough for me to get whiffs of it throughout the day.
problem is my whiffs doesn't indicate how well other people smell me, so I never know how much I project to other people on different colognes.
have you guys asked friends/family to tell you if they can smell you?
Anyone can be that "cologne guy" even if it is for a day. The classic mistake most of us make especially when purchasing a new frag and trying to gage how many sprays you need is over application. Sometimes your nose gets overwhelmed and you cannot smell the frag after a few sprays where everyone else can, and the mistake is to keep on spraying.
I agree with Jack. When you initially test a new frag, you can tend to overspray to get the full effect of it. Usually after two or three wearings, you can determine how much is too much.
If I spray "more than enough" on, It overpowers my sense of smell, I wear frags for me, not others, I have some that I put just one spritz low on the chest, and it is plenty, anymore makes me want to wash it off. I have some light ones that 3 spritzes is needed. What irritates me the most is applying something, sniffing it for an hour or two, then nothing. Whether the dreaded "nasal fatigue" or just poor longevity doesn't matter. If I spend $250 I want to smell it for awhile. Dumping it on won't make it last longer, it just irritates people.
I think it also depends on your goal.
some people want anyone in the same room to smell them.
I, on the other hand, prefer anyone outside of 4 feet to not get whiffs of my scent. anyone under 4 feet may get faint whiffs, and they can only get a full experience when they are under 1 ft radius.
IMO, forcing everyone in the room to smell you is inconsiderate and almost try-hard... but thats probably just me. I just did a search on the forum and there are people suggesting up to 20 sprays??? to each his own I guess...
If I'm going out for the evening, you better believe people are going to smell me!
However, if I'm going to work with the same people I always work with, I pick the fragrance that I want to wear and keep it pretty close, unless I'm trying something new.
To each their own.
I agree with Jack regarding new fragrances. Therefore it's wise to go easy at first, until you get a feel for it.
The "cologne guy" also changes according to others' perceptions. Some people seem to have it in for anyone wearing fragrance, and they'll become overwhelmed by someone who's even wearing a light to moderate amount. Others have a much higher tolerance and might not mind someone who applied 6 to 8 sprays.
I hate feeling self-conscious about what I wear, and never want to invade others' personal space, so I'm generally a 2 to 3 spray guy. I can smell it, those near me can probably smell it, and a passerby may catch an occasional whiff. That's all I need.
Btw, there's an article about this on the basenotes homepage. It doesn't really address anything new or that hasn't been talked about around here, but it addresses this issue more or less.
When I smell cologne on someone thats faint, I think "oh thats a nice scent", and it creates an intrigue for me to get closer to get a better smell. To me, thats the perfect effect I want to have on people... But when I get smacked in the face with it by being in the same room as someone, I think that person is try hard and inconsiderate. I mean, its as obnoxious as listening to music on your phone's speaker and forcing everyone else to listen to it.
Some of the same BN'ers who advocate drenching themselves in fragrance and forcing everyone around them to experience it are the same ones who will whine and cry if someone with a cigarette is withing half-a-mile. Especially indoors and in the winter, fragrance needs to be subdued.
While testing, i do a spray to each pulse point on the sides of the neck.. Going out same plus two to the chest, and if I'm going all out add another to the back of the neck.
More than that, and depending on the frag, you are the cologne guy.. Dudes spraying 7+ times with synthetic, projections bobs.. please stop that.
My intention is never to rape the noses of those around me.

I wouldn't care so much about "that Cologne guy" ... except that there are so many fragrances I'm actively allergic to. Axe and Polo, to name just two I know for sure, have given me full-bore, stop-breathing asthma attacks. Even more scents cause allergic reactions in my eyes (which in extreme cases has made the whites of my eyes puff right out of the eyelid -- very horrorshow!) If I'm just out and about somewhere, I can leave the area (which I once had to do at a theatre performance -- annoying!) -- but say I was working, or in a class, next to That Dude, I'd have no choice but to become The Irritating Anti-Fragrance Chick Who Goes to Administration/HR.
I don't want everyone to stop wearing fragrance -- far from it -- but I do definitely think that being careful about one's impact is the only considerate -- and in some cases, safe -- thing to do.
I wear 6 - 8 sprays and I don't care whether I'm "that cologne guy" or not
How much one wants to project and how many sprays is a personal choice that depends on many factors.
2-3 sprays to me is a waste of juice (with very few exceptions of course). Other than using discretion for particular scents and ocassions (rare for me), my normal is about 8-10 sprays, sometimes more. I do however spray my arms and chest which are often covered by layers of clothing and that controls projection to a pleasant degree. I also spray my neck and wrists.
I've often asked people around me if they could smell me and always, the answer is no. These are people who are not shy with me.
I enjoy scents and like to smell my fragrance throughout the day.
Indeed, it's a highly personal, variable and highly unpredictable choice. As long as it is not used in a fragrance-free environment, around people with allergies, on occasion with a preliminarily established absolutely fragrance-free dress (or rather, fragrance-) -code, it should be fine, almost irrespective of the fragrance quantity used/applied.
Last week I wore lidge to work put on 2 sprays and didnt smell anything after a few minutes then put on 2 more. When I got to work I chocked out a coworker and he startes to sneeze. These where all under the shit mind you. Yesterday I put on 3 sprays of egoiste and wish I had only put on 2 as it started to overwhelm me mid day. Today I put on 2 sprays of kouros and wish I put on 3 lol. You dont always know how loud you will project untill you get there.

The cologne guy in my experience is mainly a myth. I can only remember 2 or 3 times in my life that someones fragrance has been offensively strong.
I have adapted my habits to pretty much three sprays 90% of the time, and only two in some situations. I'd rather err on the side of under application rather than over. I almost never smell cologne on the other guys around me. I do smell the Polo Black that my choir director wears at church, but it's not offensive.
I think any discussion about absolute number of sprays is essentially meaningless because fragrances vary in concentration and potency. Furthermore, not all sprayers are putting out the same volume!
My strongest fragrance is Alfred Sung Homme and the atomizer puts out quite a lot of volume. 1 spray under my shirt is enough for other people to notice and almost too strong to wear to work, while 2 sprays (neck and chest) is definitely reserved for parties or days at home.
On the other hand, I find Burberry London to be very polite and I've sprayed as many as 20 times before a night out or even going to class. It is strong for the first half-hour or so, but people have confirmed that it quickly becomes imperceptible at conversational distance. To me, this makes it a safer fragrance for work or other situations where I don't want people to notice my scent without getting closer to me. 10 sprays (under clothing) is probably about right, but it should be noted that each of those sprays is relatively small compared to the volume of Sung Homme's atomizer.
In short, my application varies by fragrance and situation. If I'm working from home and not worried about social perception, I'll usually put on a little extra, just for good measure
The way I test out the number of sprays is that I'll spray on my wrist and let it settle for 20 minutes or so, and if I can smell it 3 or 4 inches from my nose it's strong enough. This is going to give a good indication of how strong it's going to be within the next few hours when you'll be out in public or doing whatever your doing. Once you start spraying more all you doing is increasing sillage. The projection of a fragrance doesn't really benefit that much from over spraying. Personally I think it's more important where you spray and not the amount of sprays that's key. The question is what kind of audience do you want to smell your fragrance. I prefer a space of projection of about 3 feet (moderately strong fragrance) and a slight amount of sillage. The cologne guy is more like 8 feet (with a very strong fragrance) and everyone can smell him 5 minutes after he's past them. The cologne guy is probably also the office farter.

To some extent "The Cologne Guy" is subjective, but, with just about anything concerning fashion, there are clearly cases egregious enough that anyone would notice. 300 lb 57 yr old man walking down the street in yellow skinny jeans? Yeah people will notice.
Similarly, this guy takes a really strong scent(dark, musky, maybe medicinal... I wonder if it's YSL M7 from what people describe), applies a ton of it, and goes into a situation where he will sweat and project this onto other people, many already gasping for air.... the pinnacle of poor taste.
Yeah, it depends is the easy answer. The GIT atomizer sprays so much, that when I first got it I would spray my usual 3 sprays and go to work, but it didn't take long to notice that every person who would walk in a room that I had been in for more than 5 minutes would say something like "whew, someone is wearing some cologne". I would assume it smelt good to them, but who knows. I never asked them saying "oh it's me, what do you think of it".
I don't know if that's cologne guy or not, but smelling up an entire room is not what I'm going for when I put cologne on in the morning. I wear it because I want to enjoy it throughout the day, but I'm finding with a lot of my fragrances even three sprays is too much in many work situations.

I thought I was avoiding it by spraying under my clothes, but someone at the other end of the room commented that they smelt insence (3 sprays of Sequoia under my undershirt and shirt 4 hours beforehand, but because I'd been rushing my body heat must've given it new life). They didn't seem upset, just puzzled.
This discussion is a bit too regional and narrow. The world is large and culturally diverse. Application volume and personal tastes, within bounds of moderation (again, varied) should be up to one's personal preferences.
ointments and perfume delight the heart....
What you say accords with what I've been saying here for a dozen years. If one only wears a few sprays - what's the point? Other guys wearing Old Spice, Brut, Axe/Lynx deodorants will all be putting out more scent than the 2 or 3 spray guy for a few hours, as will guys wearing mass market aftershave balms like Gillette and Mennen.
So what's the point of putting out less scent than guys wearing mass market stuff - to send out the strong message of "I'm not here" or "Please don't notice me?"
I wore 3 sprays of L'Instant EDT today and frankly it was not enough. Lesson learned.
Surely still better than being the no cologne guy.
I don't usually apply that much as I mainly wear it for myself and only really care about the opinion of the girlfriend who is allowed sufficiently close. I don't mind being that cologne guy that much though. One time, on a day off, I had applied a hefty amount of Yatagan, then visited a friend in her office. Did get some looks. Hadn't shaved either, so the smell did fit the look lol.
Not that you're insulting anyone, hedonist--but I have seen many threads on this same topic where people use "conservative" as a pejorative and slag off Americans (and sometimes Western Europeans) for being "uptight" because we don't wear as much fragrance as you do. Rudeness, politeness, too much, too little - these all exist within different contexts.
Threads like this always crack me up. People who indulge in something are rarely if ever the best when it comes to determining if they're overindulging.
Hang out with beer drinkers and you'll quickly realize how many of the most passionate about their beer have no ability to judge how much is too much.
In college, I had a professor who drank a minimum of 20 cups of coffee a day. I literally wouldn't recognize the guy without a white cup in his hand (always the same cup). I'm a 2 to 3 cup a day guy, but my vice used to be sugar. I couldn't imagine a cup of coffee without at least 2 heaping teaspoons of sugar. Eventually, I added up how much sugar that was each day and I cut it WAY back. In order to help myself cut back, I bought myself a tiny spoon for sugar. I found it easier to cut back slowly over time if I also started using a much smaller spoon. Today, I still drink coffee with sugar, but I use less than 1/4 of a teaspoon per cup. And coffee actually tastes better.
Perfume is no different. Just as the beer drinker and the coffee drinker each have built up a tolerance to alcohol, caffein or sugar, heavy perfume sprayers have built up a tolerance to excessive smells, to the point where they think 5 sprays of perfume is barely noticeable.
It can be a challenge to rely on others to let you know if you overindulge. Friends are used to you always having a strong smell, so if you ask something like "Am I wearing too much?" they're likely to say no and think "It's no more than usual." And since people who like you don't want to hurt your feelings, they're not likely to be honest if you wear too much. I know a woman who wears really ugly clothes. Behind her back, her friends mention it a lot, but they never tell her. Why? They know her sense of style is important to her and they know she'd be upset if she knew what they really thought. Friends of "Cologne Guy" know cologne is important to him, so they're not likely to let him know he wears too much because they don't want to hurt his feelings.
Anybody have a sample of Martin Margiela Untitled or Untitled L'Eau? I'm dying to smell these and I've got lots of great niche samples to swap!

I am that guy. People know me by what I'm wearing.
I work in sales, and I have people in some offices that want me to give them decants for husbands, partners etc.
Some guys collect baseball cards. Personally, I enjoy smelling good.
While 20 sprays of certain things work for me, I tend to go a bit lighter with Aventus (less is more). Only once have I heard a complaint. That was the day I layered Azzaro Chrome Legend with Bang. Not sure what I was thinking.

Just don't be that guy at work, other them that spray on everywhere !
Also... you don't truly believe people are getting laid from the Axe they are wearing, right? I mean, even nice colognes. If something has ever gone well with a person of interest, maybe having the option of saying "you smell so good" is an opportunity to send a conversation more in the direction of getting laid, but I can guarantee you that as long as you didn't smell like an outhouse, said person would find some other way of breaking the ice.
P.S. Furthermore on the topic of getting laid in relation to being the cologne guy, I have found in my experience that women are far more critical of and sensitive to "the cologne guy" . So even here I would say it is a case of less is more. Cologne's best asset to the male wearing it, in the situation of attracting a mate or what have you, is to give him a sense of confidence, yet paradoxically there is a point where the more cologne he wears the more desperate and self-conscious he appears to others... at least in the states.

Cologne guy get mocked a lot in popular culture.
Of course there's Sex Panther cologne in Anchorman.
More recently, I was watching the Mentalist and the Simon Baker character was interviewing a doctor. He said something to effect of "how desperate are you? Divorced long?". Doctor replied, "why do you say that?". Simon Baker "because you wear too much cologne...obviously you're trying too hard to attract a mate".
People equate cologne guy to the Jersey Shore guys who spray 12 sprays before going to the clubs!
We should always apply "don't do unto others what you don't want others to do unto you".
It WAS tempting to me to think "so what, my . . . is so much better than what other guys are wearing" and over-apply yet I got much better. If you have to err, err on the side of discretion.
Good point. I agree that for some designer, you might have to put more than 2-3. But beware, with Montale in general 1 or 2 max

About Counting Crows
Counting Crows heading to 'Wonderland'
How do you get to Wonderland? Just ask The Counting Crows. The group is bringing an end to a six-year gap between new, original albums with the expected fall release of "Somewhere Under Wonderland."
Now… we know what you're thinking. Yes, the Crows had an album out in 2012 called "Underwater Sunshine," but it was an album of covers alternately titled "Or What We Did On Our Summer Vacation." The band recorded songs by Travis, Dawes, Madonna, Joe Jackson, the Faces, Sordid Humor and others for an eventual release on April 10, 2012. A tour in support of the project followed, including summer 2013 dates with The Wallflowers.
Work began on "Somewhere Under Wionderland" soon after, and now that a release date is near the band is crowing (for lack of a better word) about the new album. Frontman Adam Duritz recently told amNewYork, "The songs (on the album) are written from a completely different perspective. They're a lot more story than confessional. They're very emotional but less personal and confessional. I don't know how to describe it, but it feels a lot different for me."
There are nine tracks on the record, according to Duritz, including an opener that clocks in at 8 1/2 minutes. Lead single "Palisades Park" was released on July 8, 2014 – the band's first single release under Capitol Records. It was promoted by a short film directed by Bill Fishman and filmed in New York City.
Counting Crows is current trekking across North America with Toad The West Sprocket as part of The '1989' World Tour. Those dates wrap in mid-August before the Crows head overseas as part of the EU Tour 2014. They'll play eight shows in the UK before moving on to France, Holland, Germany, Belgium and Italy.
Fans still digging the Crows' live shows (Updated March 28, 2013)
The Counting Crows have hit a bit of a rough patch in the last few years, starting with a split with longtime major label Geffen Records in 2009. The band continued to tour and write new material, but frontman Adam Duritz struggled with mental problems and a prescription drug addiction. He found therapy in solo material, which was released online while various band members also worked on individual projects.
In 2011, Counting Crows turned the corner. First came the long-awaited release of "August and Everything After: Live at Town Hall." The band then returned to the studio to record cover songs and new material, with the intention to release another full-length album. It came in 2012 with the release of "Underwater Sunshine (Or What We Did On Our Summer Vacation)," which bowed in partnership with Creative Allies on a contest for fans to design both the album cover and layout.
To this day, the Crows are renowned for their energetic live performances. Most concerts not only include extended versions of their songs, but extra verses, impromptu additions and other artists' songs featured in the middle of their own material. They are also one of the only artists to actively encourage the recording and distribution of their lives shows, and host a trading network on their website to enable fans to trade concert recordings.
Counting Crows recently came under fire after canceling several New Zealand tour dates after Duritz came down with an illness. It included one gig where the opening act had already performed, and occurred just hours after Duritz had posted a photograph of himself on Facebook and wrote, "Soundchecking ... hey! My voice works! Sweet."
