If we say that the farm lies within Triglav National Park, you can almost imagine it: among meadows beside a forest with a view of the mountains. And in truth, the Radovna Valley lies between Mount Pokljuka and Mount Mežaklja seventeen kilometers from Kranjska Gora and the same distance from Bled.The female side of the family makes sure that pleasant aromas waft from the kitchen (their specialties include homemade pork and sausages in winter, žganci, buckwheat krapi, dry sausage preserved in minced lard, smoked ham), while the men make sure you will have fresh honey on your bread and that you won't be bored. They will take you—sometimes via hay wagon—along the Cultural Heritage Trail, you can hike to the valleys of Krma, Kot, or Vrata (Peričnik Waterfall), and of course the farm is an ideal starting point for climbing in the Julian Alps and on Mount Triglav.

VA allows burial of first same-sex spouse in national cemetery
Saturday - 2/16/2013, 5:30am EST
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The government has cleared the first burial of a same-sex spouse of a veteran in a national cemetery, but it's far from certain how easy it will be for other gay military couples to win the same benefit.
Who gets buried where is one of the practical decisions that the federal government is grappling with following repeal of the military's don't ask, don't tell policy.
At first glance, Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki's decision to grant burial to a same-sex spouse in Oregon represents a big departure from past federal policy. In 2004, the VA warned the state of Massachusetts that burying the same-sex spouse of a veteran in a state veterans' cemetery could lead to the federal government taking back nearly $12 million in grant money.
Then in 2008, the National Cemetery Association published a directive stating that individuals in same-sex civil unions or marriage are not eligible for burial in a national cemetery or state veterans cemetery that received federal money. Those directives were based on the language of the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines a spouse as a person of the opposite sex who is a husband or a wife. The law is being challenged before the Supreme Court.
Then along came retired Lt. Col. Linda Campbell and her spouse, Nancy Lynchild. Campbell, with help from Oregon officials, pressed the VA to allow Lynchild to be buried at the VA's Willamette National Cemetery.
"My commitment to our country, shown through the service that makes me eligible for burial at Willamette, and the significance of the permanent, lifelong commitment I shared with Nancy, should be sufficient to secure a waiver for her and allow us to be buried together," Campbell wrote to the VA on Jan. 2 shortly after Lynchild's death.
Shinseki has the authority to deem others eligible for burial at a VA cemetery as he believes necessary, regardless of the wording of the Defense of Marriage Act. The VA said in a statement he did not base his decision to grant burial rights based on the couple's marital status but on evidence of a "committed relationship between the individual and the veteran." Also, the department made clear the decision was not intended to create any right or benefit for anyone other than Lynchild.
Still, proponents of the decision said it's a clear indication that individual waiver requests will be taken seriously by Shinseki if other same-sex couples seek to be buried in one of the VA's 131 cemeteries.
"I think you see a lot of the military changing and it makes sense. They are showing every sign of wanting to do what they can do within the bounds of the law," said Gary Buseck, legal director at the Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders, an advocacy group.
Campbell's request began last year when she expressed her frustration to Oregon Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian. In turn, Avakian contacted the VA and noted that Oregon law required equal access to all goods and services for registered domestic partners. He also spoke with the White House, which made clear it was deferring to the VA and wanted to let the process run its course. He said the VA was also communicating with the White House, but he could not say to what degree.
"The attitude at the end was clear that they were working very hard to make this work," Avakian said. "And I'm deeply grateful they spent the time thinking this through carefully and coming to the right conclusion."
Despite the VA's insistence that Shinseki's decision only applied to Campbell and Lynchild, Avakian said he believed the decision sent a clear message that would make it easier for future same-sex couples to gain veterans' burial benefits.
"I don't think there's any way to get around the fact that is a precedent-setting strong message," he said.
When asked if the Obama administration welcomed Shinseki's decision, White House spokeswoman Shin Inouye said: "The president has made clear that his administration will treat same-sex couples as fairly as possible, consistent with existing law, and VA's actions are consistent with that policy."

I'm a little surprised that you would be in favor of large deductible plans.
On another note, large deductibles would be pretty rough on retired folks that have modest fixed incomes. In most cases, that's the stage in life when good health insurance is usually very important.
My personal belief is that we will not see real and significant health care reform and some control over the costs associated with health care until the Senate, House, SCOTUS and POTUS no longer get the ABSOLUTE BEST care for life. In other words, when Hell freezes over.........-Paul

The Groovy-Eclipse team is proud to announce the release of Groovy-Eclipse 2.5.2. There are many new features available with this release, including Eclipse 3.7.1 support, Java 7 support, and Groovy 1.8.2 support
You can use the following update site to install this release:
If you want the Groovy 1.8 compiler, you must explicitly include it by checking the "Extra compilers" category.
And a zipped version of the update site is available at:
- Groovy 1.8.2
- Java 7 and Eclipse 3.7.1
- Compiler switching through command line argument
- Enhanced Maven support
- User Contributed Inferencing Suggestions
- Inferencing improvements
- DSL Support
- Content assist improvements
- Static type checking (experimental)
- Remove trailing whitespace and semi-colons save actions
- Editing support for Groovy files outside of the build path
- Fix import statements after move/copy
- More precise searching for overloaded methods
- More precise rename refactoring of overloaded methods
- Compatibility
- Bug fixes
- Shout outs
- What's next?
Groovy 1.8.2
Groovy 1.8.2 is now available as an optional install from the update sites.
Java 7 and Eclipse 3.7.1
Groovy-Eclipse now ships with Java 7 compatibility and can install on Eclipse 3.7.1.
Compiler switching through command line argument
It is now possible to use command line arguments to specify a compiler level for Groovy-Eclipse. You can add the
-groovy.compiler.level argument to the launch command to control which compiler level is started.
See Compiler Switching within Groovy-Eclipse and STS-1844 for more information.
Enhanced Maven support
We have released, 2.5.2-01 of the groovy-eclipse-compiler. Additionally, the Groovy-Eclipse configurator for m2e v1.0 is now available from the release update site. Full documentation on Groovy-Eclipse's maven support is available at Groovy-Eclipse compiler plugin for Maven.
groovy-eclipse-compiler plugin for Maven
There have been many improvements to the groovy-eclipse-compiler plugin for Maven. In addition to stability and bug fixing, here is what is new and interesting:
- Now based off of Groovy 1.8.2 (by default) and 1.7.10 (if specified).
- The Java compiler is now Java 7 based (from Eclipse JDT 3.7.1).
- No longer need to use the build helper plugin to specify the
src/test/groovysource folders. They are added to the build automatically if they exist.
- Updated groovy-eclipse-compiler archetype project. This archetype is available at: https://nexus.codehaus.org/content/repositories/snapshots/
M2E support
Now works with m2e 1.0 and is also available from the release update site. The old version of the Groovy-Eclipse configurator is still available from the dev update site and we will keep it available for legacy reasons. It is the only version that is compatible with pre 1.0 versions of m2eclipse. However, we recommend against using it if possible.
User Contributed Inferencing Suggestions
There is now another way to extend Groovy-Eclipse's inferencing engine. Using quick assists and a preferences page, users can now contribute dynamic properties and methods to existing classes for a customized editing experience.
As seen in the image below it is now possible to invoke a Quick-Assist (CTRL-1 or CMD-1 on Mac) in order to invoke the suggestions dialog. In this example, an unresolved property called
getContentDescription in the declaring type
java.util.ArrayList is referenced in a Groovy script. The user then presses CTRL+1 on the editor selection and can add the property via the "Add Groovy suggestion" quick assist.
The Groovy Suggestions dialogue then opens, pre-populated with values related to the current selection, like the declaring type, property name and type.
The user can add additional information like doc hovers, or change the suggestion from a property to a method and add parameters.
Once the dialogue is closed, the suggestion is added to the Groovy inferencing engine and the property will now be resolved. The user can add further suggestions, edit or remove existing ones, in the Preferences -> Groovy -> Inferencing preferences page. Additionally, a user can activate or deactivate a suggestion by clicking a check box. Deactivating a suggestion does not remove the suggestion from the list of suggestions for the project, but any references for that suggestion will be unresolved until the user activates it again.
Suggestions are persisted in the
.groovy/suggestions.xdsl file at the root of all Groovy projects. Each Groovy project has it's own
suggestions.xdsl and so they can be persisted in version control for the project. As of 2.5.2, this feature only supports edits of this file through the preference page or suggestions dialogue. Manual edits of the file are not yet supported.
The suggestions dialogue performs type validation where appropriate, as seen in the following screen shot.
Any suggestions added to a project that are active also appear in content assist, as seen below where getContentDescription appears as an
option in content assist:
Inferencing improvements
We have added many enhancements with the Groovy-Eclipse inferencing engine. A list of all inferencing issues addressed is available here.
Here are the highlights.
Better DGM inferencing
Default Groovy Methods now have better inferencing inside of associated closure blocks. For example, the
unique DGM method now supports inferencing of the parameter on its closure:
In addition to
unique, all methods inside the
DefaultGroovyMethods class now support inferencing on parameters in closures where appropriate. A complete list is available in GRECLIPSE-1143.
Type inferencing of DGM methods with non-collection arguments
Now, when non-collections types are targets of DGM methods, the iterator variable type is correctly inferred:
Other implicit category classes
Support for the implicit category classes
XmlGroovyMethods, and
These classes are now handled just like
DefaultGroovyMethods in terms of content assist, hovers, and navigation.
For example:
For more information, see GRECLIPSE-1131, GRECLIPSE-1143, GRECLIPSE-1145, GRECLIPSE-1153, GRECLIPSE-1154 and GRECLIPSE-1155.
Multiple assignment statements
The types of variables assigned in multi-assignment statements are now discovered during inferencing. For example, when assigning a list to multiple variables, the static type of the list elements will be assigned to each variable:
Also, when a method returns a list or array, the type parameter or component type is used as the type of assigned variabled:
For more information, see GRECLIPSE-1140 and GRECLIPSE-1136.
Spread-dot type inferencing
The spread-dot operator is now correctly handled by the inferencing engine:
Match operator inferencing
Match operator expressions now support inferencing:
For more information, see GRECLIPSE-1159.
DSL Support
We are continuing to improve on our DSL support in Groovy-Eclipse through our DSL descriptors. Below are the significant enhancements. And all enhancements are described in more detail in DSL Descriptors for Groovy-Eclipse.
namedParams and
optionalParams for method contributions
It is now possible to distinguish between regular, named, and optional parameters in DSLD method contributions. Regular parameters are always filled in when performing content assist for the method and they are not prefixed by a name. Named parameters are prefixed by a name and are also always filled in during content assist. And they are placed after all the regular parameters. Lastly, optional parameters are not filled in via content assist of the method. Instead, optional parameters are only available for content assist of named parameters. All parameters are visible during hovers.
Here is an example to make this clear. Consider the following simple DSLD file that adds editing support for the static
create method to the
Person class:
The method contribution defines params, namedParams, and optionalParams. The first thing to see is that when doing content assist, only the regular and named parameters will be shown:
And when applying that proposal, only those parameters are displayed (the first parameter is regular, and the second two are named):
The optional parameters are shown in hovers (along with all other parameters):
They can also be seen in content assist, when named parameters would be visible:
Note that the editor is smart enough to only show parameter proposals if that parameter doesn't already exist, so if we remove the
lastName named parameter and do content assist, it will show up as a proposal:
Content assist improvements
Named parameter content assist
Methods that expect named parameters (typically specified in a DSL descriptor, see above) can have their named parameters filled in via content assist, as shown in this screenshot:
Notice in the screenshot that there are 3 named parameters displayed: firstName, lastName, and age. These are defined in a DSL descriptor in the project.
As with selecting method proposals during content assist, Groovy-Eclipse will try to find reasonable values to fill in when selecting a named parameter:
There is a caveat. Named parameter proposals will not appear in the proposal list if there is a prefix already typed. So, in the following example, there will be no named parameters proposed since the prefix 'f' already exists:
Method context information
Groovy-Eclipse now follows the JDT convention of displaying context information for methods when invoking content assist inside of a method call and there is no prefix. For example, when invoking content assist just after an opening paren, you are only shown a list of known ways to invoke the target method:
Selecting one of the proposals will show that method's information in tooltips above the caret location:
Similarly, invoking content assist after a comma will show context information as well:
For more information, see GRECLIPSE-674.
Content assist now recognizes closure parameters
When a field has a closure for an initializer, content assist will now reflect this and show method proposal variants for the field:
For more information, see GRECLIPSE-1139.
Static type checking (experimental)
Groovy-Eclipse 2.5.2 ships with an experimental way to perform static type checking on your Groovy projects. There is a new menu category that appears whenever any Groovy files, packages, or projects are selected:
When invoking this command, all groovy files currently selected will be type checked (i.e., sent to the inferencing engine). Warning markers are added to any expressions that would be otherwise underlined in the editor:
If you want to remove all of the type check warnings simply select "Remove checks" from the "Groovy Type Checking" menu while selecting the files you want to clean.
You can also add some type assertions to ensure that the static type of an expression is correctly determined by the inferencing engine (this is particularly useful for testing your DSLs):
This feature is still experimental and we are looking for feedback on it. If you find this feature useful, if you have any suggestions for it, or if you have found problems with it, please contact us on mailing list to discuss.
Remove trailing whitespace and semi-colons save actions
It is now possible to configure Groovy-Eclipse to automatically remove trailing whitespace and semi-colons on file-save. Go to Preferences -> Groovy -> Save actions to enable it:
It is also necessary to enable save actions for Java editors, which you can do can do by going to Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Save actions:
Enabling the save action will convert this file:
into this file:
after a save.
Editing support for Groovy files outside of the build path
Scripts that are not placed on the build path now provide many of the standard editing features that is used by scripts on the build path, such as content assist, type inferencing, and mark occurrences. The classpath for the script is assumed to be the same build path as the one for the rest of the project.
Note that missing import references will not be reported, and references in scripts will not show in search results, nor will refactoring work in these files.
Fix import statements after move/copy
Import statements are now properly cleaned up after a move or copy of a Groovy file to a new location. See GRECLIPSE-682 for more information.
More precise searching for overloaded methods
The number of parameters of method declarations are now used to more precisely determine the actual declaration of a method reference:
See GRECLIPSE-1138 for more information.
More precise rename refactoring of overloaded methods
This new technique for method searching is used to ensure that overloaded methods do not interfere with rename refactoring:
Groovy-Eclipse 2.5.2 includes Groovy 1.7.10 by default. Groovy 1.8.2 can be optionally installed. This version of Groovy-Eclipse is recommended to be installed on STS 2.7.2, 2.8.0.M2, Eclipse 3.7.0, 3.7.1, 3.6.0, 3.6.1, or 3.6.2. There are different update sites for Groovy-Eclipse targeting Eclipse 3.6 and 3.7 (see above).
Bug fixes
We have fixed over 100 bugs for this release. See the details on our issue tracker.
Shout outs
We've received quite a bit of help with this release from the community, especially with the maven support. So, a special thank you to:
- Travis Schneeberger for work on maven integration, helping to test snapshot versions, and providing suggestions on how to fix bugs.
- Bob Tiernay for being thorough and checking through all of our type inferencing for DefaultGroovyMethods for anything we missed (and there was a lot).
- Rene Scheibe for his work on the Save action to remove whitespace and semi-colons.
- Benson Margulies for helping to migrate the Groovy-Eclipse m2e configurator to support m2e version 1.0. I could not have done this one alone.

"Most counties run shelters that do not have vaccinations in their budget to deal with this," she wrote in an email to The Star. "The drop pens where people dump these puppies along with no vaccinations make it very hard to control."
She said even with proper cleaning, the animals brought in from the drop pens keep the disease circulating.
"The county needs to budget for the vac(cinations) as it has been proven that a puppy vaccinated before entering the shelter only has a very small percent of getting it."
Hardin said the puppies that have been the source of the outrage were very lethargic and were hardly moving.
"I figured they were going to get worse," Hardin said. "As much as I hate they were euthanized, you cannot let them suffer and secondly spread the sickness."
"...it's becoming so negatively received as far as people's comments," Lockridge said Wednesday afternoon. "We're going to look at that and evaluate and determine whether the page is actually being used for what it was created for."
He said if people continue to post inaccurate statements and spread rumors, he feels the page is unnecessary.
Lockridge said instead of pointing fingers and blaming the shelter, people need to work together to come up with solutions to the problem of too many pets and not enough homes.
Hardin said the shelter has asked Cleveland County Humane Society to handle the rescues.
"There were 31 out last week..." she wrote. "Today at least six more (were sent) to a rescue. There has been many many positive changes made at AC."
Hardin said by going through the Humane Society, the shelter can ensure that all rescues are checked out and legitimate.

JON CARDINELLI investigates the lack of black forwards at the highest levels and whether black forwards are genetically smaller than their white counterparts.
The biggest transformation failure over the past five years has been up front. The pitiful number of black forwards to represent the Springboks testifies to the fact, as does the negligible representation at Super 14 and Currie Cup levels. Why is it that South Africa manages to produce so many black backs, but so few black forwards? With a predominantly white make-up and two black wings, it's no wonder some jokers refer to our national side as the Seagulls rather than the Springboks.
Since the start of the 2006 Test season, 29 black (black African and coloured) players have been used by the Boks. Eighteen of those have been backline players (12 of those wingers or fullbacks) while 11 have been forwards. Subtract two from the latter because the Zimbabwean-reared Beast Mtawarira and Brian Mujati are not products of the South African system. Nine forwards remain, of which just three are currently playing at the highest level. Apart from Bandise Maku, Chiliboy Ralepelle and Gurthrö Steenkamp, six black Bok forwards have faded into obscurity.
Eddie Andrews has long since retired, although he's still at an age where he could be contributing (33). Hanyani Shimange is Western Province's third-choice hooker. When fit, Lawrence Sephaka plays in the Vodacom Cup, but struggles to make the Lions' senior team. Kabamba Floors is a permanent fixture on the Cheetahs' bench, Hilton Lobberts is languishing at Boland, and Solly Tyibilika is playing for Border in the First Division.
A spate of injuries and poor management has afflicted Ralepelle's career, while Maku has been the victim of similar malpractice at the Bulls. Steenkamp is one of the few success stories, although one homegrown, experienced black Bok forward is not enough.
Consider the demographics of a country where black people outnumber their white counterparts by nine to one. You'd think that South Africa would be spoiled for choice in the black forward department, but as the evidence suggests, this is not the case.
We're told by Saru that the racial make-up of the age-group teams proves that transformation is working, but so few of those black players progress. The SA U21 side that won the 2005 World Championship is a prime example. Twelve players of colour (six forwards and six backs) were in that squad. Of the forwards, Ralepelle and Lobberts (who both also represented the successful SA U19 side) went on to play for the Bulls and Boks. None of the remaining forwards are currently contracted to a 'big-five' union. Davon Raubenheimer (Griquas) and Martin Sithole (Pumas) are at least competing in the Premier Division, but great junior prospects like Nikolai Blignaut (Boland) and Sangoni Mxoli (EP Kings) are wasting away in First Division oblivion.
Meanwhile, a number of the white players who featured in those age-group squads are thriving. Gerhard Mostert (Sharks), Pieter Louw (WP-Stormers), Heinke van der Merwe (formerly of the Lions and Boks, and now with Leinster) and Derick Kuün (Bulls) have all had extensive exposure to Super Rugby.
Saru says that black players have received insufficient opportunities at Currie Cup and Super Rugby levels, and that coaches are to blame. Others argue that the level of the competition is significantly higher on the senior stage. This latter line of thinking follows that some black players are fast-tracked into junior teams and are unprepared for the high standards of professional rugby.
Transformation becomes an ugly issue when quotas or targets are enforced. People who persist with such thinking miss the point. Transformation is impossible without development. Pushing a player into a professional team when he's not ready is counterproductive. Administrators and politicians should be investing their resources and energies into black player development at grassroots level instead, so that in the future these players progress through the junior ranks and earn their standing in senior teams on merit.
Developing a new generation of black forwards is a task former Bok assistant coach Gert Smal volunteered for in 2008. After the World Cup in France, Smal felt he could do some good in the rugby-rich region of the Eastern Cape. He hoped to spearhead a programme aimed at producing more black forwards.
Smal put together a proposal and sent it to Saru, but they never got back to him. After months of waiting for a reply, Smal eventually accepted a post with the Irish Rugby Union and is still working with the national team as the forwards coach today.
'It was a pity that I never got the chance to help the Eastern Cape,' Smal says. 'I've worked with Border before and I have a good idea of the complexities and politics of the region. With my experience as a World Cup coach I could have offered a fair amount of help to the coaches and administration.
'There needs to be a concerted effort to bring black players through, and especially black forwards. I don't buy the argument that they don't exist. The black forwards are there, they just need to be identified and brought through the system.
'I can't comment on what Saru is doing because I haven't been in the country for a while, but there needs to be some sort of forwards academy that will help with the fast-tracking of black forwards in South Africa, and that academy needs to incorporate the help of quality coaches to ensure players progress to provincial and even national level with the necessary skills.'
Saru president Regan Hoskins and his deputy Mark Alexander refused to answer any questions on the subject when contacted by SA Rugby magazine. It appears that the president is happy to criticise Currie Cup and Super Rugby teams for their failure to field sufficient players of colour, but when it comes to telling the public about what Saru is doing to improve the situation, he isn't so forthcoming.
However, Saru CEO Jurie Roux agreed to answer our questions via e-mail. He makes it clear that all 14 provinces need to work at developing black talent, and believes the structures are in place to provide top teams with black players. He denies knowledge of Smal's proposal to develop black forwards in the Eastern Cape, and is non-committal in answering whether South Africa really needs a specialised black forwards academy.
'Saru is in favour of any initiatives designed to develop and improve players,' says Roux, 'so long as they are appropriately managed and run and do not conflict with the interests of South African rugby as a whole.'
The Kings are set to join Super Rugby in 2013 and no doubt the region will be subject to various development initiatives in the interim. As the numbers in top-flight rugby suggest, black backline players aren't short on opportunities, but black forwards are something of a rarity. Surely it's in South African rugby's interest to change that?
And what better place to start than the Eastern Cape?
'Whatever they decide to do, there needs to be more of an effort,' says Smal. 'It's something I took upon myself to do, even when I was coaching Western Province. I realised that we had a lot of talented black backs, but not many black forwards. [Former Bok lock] Quinton Davids was probably one of the rare success stories.'
Smal believes the black forwards are there, and that they need to be identified and offered the right opportunities to develop. In challenging this view, some believe that black South Africans aren't as big as Afrikaans South Africans, and that genetically speaking, they're never going to offer the same power and size as their white Afrikaans counterparts.
Sports scientist Dr Ross Tucker is aware of the perception. He believes that Saru needs conclusive scientific data if South African rugby is to move forward.
'A study was conducted at Craven Week level, and it found that the black players were smaller than their white counterparts,' says Tucker. 'However, it was also taken into consideration how many of these players were from previously disadvantaged areas, and how that affected their diet and training. They obviously didn't have the same access to gym equipment and supplements as the white kids.
'The study did highlight some physical differences, but I don't think it's linked to genetics. There are certain population groups that are going to be more suited to a particular sport than others, and I suppose the east Africans are an example when it comes to long-distance running, but it's a stretch to apply that theory to black South African rugby forwards.
'There is no conclusive evidence that black South Africans are genetically smaller than white South Africans. To obtain that kind of evidence, you'd need to track players at the lower levels and ensure black and white players get the same opportunities. If the study shows that more black players hit the ceiling of their physical potential before whites, then there may be a case.
'It's an argument that will be dismissed as racist in this country, but it should be a matter of science. It's worth investigating because the findings will offer conclusive evidence. It's strange that no study has been conducted yet. Transformation is a big deal in South Africa and millions of rands have been spent on development.'
Tucker says that if it's true that black South African players hit the ceiling of their physical potential before white players, then that must be factored into how transformation is approached at the higher levels. If it's false then it highlights the importance of development to ensure the black players make the step up. With more quality players to choose from, South African rugby is always going to benefit.
But until there are conclusive answers, the debate will continue to rage. Transformation will remain a dirty word, the equivalent of a four-word epithet that evokes a dual sense of anger and prejudice. Unless Saru does some work to retrieve this information, they will continue to be part of the problem. South African rugby will continue to stagnate when it should be soaring.

Mark Monea or 'Monz,' is the latest revelation in the world of Freestyle Motocross (FMX). An experienced motocross racer from Gippsland in Victoria, Monz' entry into FMX was almost by accident – when play riding with friends, he created one of the most technical action sports tricks of all time; and called it the 'Carry On.'
After landing the trick for the first time, on a private property in Pearcedale, Victoria, Monz shot to stardom. The You Tube clip has received more than 1.3 MILLION views from around the world. He was quickly snapped up by the largest action sports tour in the world, the 'Nitro Circus' and performed five more times to packed stadiums in regional Australia.
Monz' first ever FMX competition, just happened to be the biggest of its kind in the world – the X Games. Mark attempted a never seen, 'no handed' version of the Carry On and crashed heavily. Despite this disappointment, he rebounded, to win the second biggest competition of the year, the inaugural 'Monster Energy Cup,' in Las Vegas and showed the world the hype around him was much deserved.

That research fuels a fire I have no interest in, at least in the way most are.
Again, I think this "We have enough, let's wait and see and be excited for a new name" is fine.
I think it's very reasonable.
The vehemence, again, was misplaced. It was never the logo and it will never be.

The Improved Global Governance for Hunger Reduction Programme seeks to concretely improve the way in which the global community works together to eradicate hunger and malnutrition. It thus aims at:
The four-year programme (2012-2015) is funded by the European Union (EU) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and implemented by FAO in close collaboration with the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP).
The EU is both a resource and technical partner of the programme, which is closely aligned with the EU's current priorities for food security and nutrition, such as raising awareness of the importance of resilience and linking nutrition more closely to food security and agriculture.
The programme is fully embedded in the new FAO strategic framework, and has pioneered a different way of working across divisions within FAO. It is primarily contributing to three of the five FAO Strategic Objectives (SOs):
A Mid-term Evaluation (MTE), conducted at the end of 2013, recognized the strong added value of the programme over and beyond the regular business of FAO; in particular, it stressed that the Programme is:

Cox Scores 20; Knight Posts Another Double-Double as Women's Basketball Rolls Converse 79-49
December 1, 2009
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University freshman Brittany Cox (Winston-Salem, NC) scored a game-high 20 points leading the Lady Falcons to a 79-49 victory over the visiting Converse Valkyries in Conference Carolinas womens basketball on Tuesday night in the Merner Gym. Reigning conference player of the week Devona Knight (Woodbridge, VA) registered her fourth double-double of the season with 13 points and 14 rebounds. Pfeiffer improves to 2-3 overall, 2-0 in league play while the Valkyries fall to 0-5, 0-2.
Cox tallied 13 of her 20 points in the first-half after scoring the games first six points. A layup by Cox five minutes in gave the Lady Falcons a quick 14-4 advantage, before a Knight layup put Pfeiffer up 18 with 7:21 remaining in the first half. After Knights bucket, the hosts went cold for a little over three minutes as Chelsea McDougle (Charlotte, NC) knocked down a jumper in a brief 6-0 Valkyries run. Christina Harvey (Locust Grove, VA) would knock down a pair of late free throws while teammate Celeste Caudill (Sparta, NC) scored her first half points on a jumper leading the Lady Falcons to a 43-23 lead at the break.
Pfeiffer opened up the second half with a 9-0 run, thanks in part to Coxs seven points, which included her only three-pointer of the night. Amber Mooney (Tallahassee, FL) dropped in a couple of free throws for Converse to snap the Pfeiffer run at the 15:43 mark. Minutes later, sophomore Jamila Harris (Danville, VA) scored four-straight Lady Falcon points to give the hosts their largest lead of the night at 69-34. Ashley Arff (Fox Lake, IL) would toss in a pair of threes with 90 seconds remaining before Knight concluded the scoring with a late jumper.
In addition to Cox and Knight, Harris saw her point total finish at 13 on the night followed closely by Charlotte Fullers (Moorestown, NJ) 12. Arff led the Valkyries with 13 while Alaina Smith (Atlanta, GA) finished with 11. Pfeiffer held a 50-41 advantage on the boards while shooting 46.8% from the floor.
Pfeiffer will take to the home court next Saturday, December 12 in a non-conference tilt with Lenoir-Rhyne University. Tip-off between the Lady Falcons and Bears will be at 7:00 p.m.

Framesby coach Wynand Rauch believes his side can inflict Grey Bloem's first defeat since 2006.
Grey enter the game in good form, having humiliated Duineveld 45-3 this past weekend, while the PE-based Framesby are gearing up for their first outing of the season.
'It's going to be tough but if we play to our potential we can win,' Rauch told keo.co.za. Meanwhile, Ingo Machts, coach of Grey, is expecting a 'physical encounter from the opposition'.
Framesby's strength will lie in their dynamic openside flanker, Cornell du Preez, and hard-working eighthman Rhyk Welgemoed, who will hope to unsettle Grey at the breakdown and in the contact. Lock Rynier Bernado, who played for the SA Academy side in 2008, will be a threat at line-out time for Grey.
A big loss for the Bloemfontein outfit is that of talismanic SA Schools centre, Francois Venter, who dislocated his shoulder and will be out of action for an extended period of time.
This will be the first contest between the two schools.

Chris Brown Gossip
Chris Brown gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
For a good cause…
PC/ Brian Prahl/ Splash
After all it's a charity basketball game. The cause is more important than the conflict. Oh if only we could get that right around the world… So Rihanna and Chris Brown were both at the Summer Classic Charity Basketball Game in New York last night. Brown is confirmed to be back together with Karrueche Tran. Full Story
Together but not together?
Wenn, WAB/ London Entertainment/ Splash
Rihanna and Drake were both at the Clippers game last night. She went with her best friend Melissa Ford. He went with his boys. They sat apart. But at one point, Drake went over to see her. And they hugged. And I don't know how to read this hug. Is there hesitation in her face? Is it because she knows there's an audience? Is it because she'll never love him as much as he loves her? I prefer the shot of them face to face – he's saying something, and I'm photo assuming that it's "woo talk", and she's smiling. Full Story
Rihanna and Drake… and Chris Brown
Nothing good ever lasts. And sometimes Chris Brown has to come and sh-t on it. We had a few days of wish fulfillment. Rihanna joined Drake onstage in Paris and we believed, just for a moment, that Take Care was true. Now Page Six reports that Chris Brown has inserted himself into the situation again, although he would say that he was first in the situation to begin with and it'll always be about him. Full Story
Drake forgives
Chris Brown apparently facebooked yesterday that he was working in studio with Drake. The two were at the iHeartradio event a couple of weeks ago in Vegas and it was supposedly Brown who went into Drake's dressing room to talk things through. So the feud is officially over. Credit to Brown there for initiating the peace? Sure. Full Story
Great! See ya later!
Mr Photoman/ Splash
Chris Brown. On his Twitter: Don't worry mainstream America.After this X album, it'll probably be my last album. Being famous is amazing when it's for ur music and talent. I'm tired of being famous for a mistake I made when i was 18. Full Story

Everyone was fist pumping yesterday after this picture of Adele was posted suggesting she may have been admonishing Chris Brown at the Grammys for not standing up for Frank Ocean. That's why it's called Photo Assumption: it's an assumption that is baseless, because the image can't tell you the context. Full Story
Music Awards Misogyny
So last night, via the always incredible Vulture, I read this list of wardrobe restrictions that CBS has asked to be relayed to performers at the Grammy Awards. Here is the list in its entirety: CBS Program Practices advises that all talent appearing on camera please adhere to Network policy concerning wardrobe. Full Story
Rihanna on getting back together with Chris Brown
In her new interview with Rolling Stone, Rihanna has confirmed that she and Chris Brown are back together, exactly four years after he beat the sh-t out of her on Grammy weekend. This, of course, is not news, as we've all seen the pictures and her twitter, but she hasn't publicly spoken about it until now. Full Story

Taylor Swift was interviewed by Rolling Stone in advance of the release of her new album Red. The quotes that are making headlines from the article relate to her relationship with Conor Kennedy and what she said about buying a property on the Kennedy Compound - click here Full Story
Fight Night: Chris Brown vs Drake
Before we get into this though, a quick word on the bullsh-t Pacquio/Bradley decision? Is the WBO bankrolled by the Chinese Communist government? It stanks just as badly of corruption and foul. Ok so last night in New York, Chris Brown and Drake both show up at a club called WIP. By the end of the evening, Brown's chin was cut open, supposedly by a member of Drake's entourage. Full Story
Be Angry with the Academy
Kevin Winter/Getty
I just want you to think about why it was okay. Why it was okay to have a man who beat a woman celebrated, not once but three times. So many people have to come together to make this happen. Dozens approve a lineup, more get to see it and raise any objections. Sponsors. Other agents and managers. Full Story
What is love? With Rihanna & Drake
ERIK BEEGAL/Splash
Rihanna went blonde for a photo shoot. Here she is, in an outfit I LOVE, last night at the Roxbury. Drake was also at the Roxbury.Um...what year is it???And would these two please just f-cking make it happen already, like, permanently?The reality is...probably not. Rihanna and Drake are, for them, for all of us, much too easy. Full Story
Young & Fearless
Ri, what are you doing? Have you heard? Rihanna and Chris Brown followed each other on Twitter. There's speculation now that they've been private messaging each other. The Twitter world was all over it, and all over her, for the move, and she responded by tweeting out to everyone that it's "just f-cking Twitter", like relax motherf-ckers, it's no big. Full Story
We need help
So what did Chris Brown do today? Well, he was pissed that they wanted to ask him about Rihanna on Good Morning America and threw a chair at a window. People.com though, ever the "fair" voice when it comes to celebrity reporting, decided to dedicate their coverage today about how supportive his fans have been. Full Story

Disorders Affecting the Adrenal Glands
The endocrine system is a complex collection of hormone-producing glands that control basic body functions such as metabolism, growth, and sexual development. Many of the hormones produced by the endocrine glands interact with each other to maintain balance. The amount of hormones produced by each gland is carefully balanced.
Too much or too little of a certain hormone can have effects throughout the body and cause various endocrine disorders. Although many endocrine disorders that affect adults can affect children, the disorders may produce different symptoms in children.
Metabolism is the chemical activity that occurs in cells, releasing energy from nutrients or using energy to create other substances, such as proteins. The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is a measurement of energy required to keep the body functioning at rest. Measured in calories, metabolic rates increase with exertion, stress, fear, and illness.

...I only read reviews...!
I know that this thread has been done before my time here, but I'm quite new here snd thought I would see who people are currently liking.
I really enjoy the following:
Marc (Robes08) - A legend of reviewing for me. He has done so many reviwes and this has helped me so much.
Brandon (CutlassupremeSL) Love his style of reviewing. Not so technical, just tells it how it is!
Cody (Dracdoc) - This guy has the most relaxing and eloquent voice. Love his reviews and the huge amount of effort he puts in.
Rob (Coachrob619) - Only just discovered Coachrob, but I am an immediate fan. Love the subjects he picks to talk about (Check out his 'Don't belive the hype' Vids). Really good stuff!
There are some others that I also really like, but these guys are my current faves
...I only read reviews...!
MyMickers is my favourite
Le Grand Duc (doesn't do many reviews, but I love his accent)
Kerosene was the best but doesn't do them any more.
I only follow the succint Katie Puckrick, I haven't the patience to sit through 20-30 minute reviews. Although Mickers is entertaining so I occasionally watch his.
Current Top Favorites:
1) Portrait of a Lady original formula (EdP Frédéric Malle)
2) Giorgio for Men vintage/V.I.P. for Men (Giorgio Beverly Hills)
3) Dia Man vintage edt (Amouage)
4) Anat Fritz Original Formula and Classical (Anat Fritz) - tie
4) Lalfeorosa (O'driù) - tie
6) Les Nombres d'Or Vetyver (Mona di Orio)
7) Captain vintage (Molyneux)
8) Tzora (Anat Fritz)
9) Javanese Patchouli (Zegna) - tie
9) Monsieur de Givenchy vintage (Givenchy) - tie
9) Coeur de Vetiver Sacré (L'Artisan) - tie
9) X for Men (Clive Christian) - tie
9) Patou pour Homme Privé (Jean Patou) - tie
9) Oud Shamash (The Different Company) - tie
I like Dracdoc and Lilangry (but he's more top 10 lists rather than reviews).
Cformosa (Cubby). He has fantastic reviews. Straight to the point and very short.
Honestly, I enjoy all of them.
fragrancebros (regional bias)
Katie Puckrick (crush worthy)
Le Grand Duc (best pronunciation)
These two of his from 5 years ago are classic:

I used to like Marc Robes08. Now I don't really like him anymore. He gotten an annoying ego now. And moreover, all his reviews are now over 20 minutes, and he constantly repeats himself, explaining in 15-25 minutes all that could be said in 5 to 10.
I like Cutlass (as I find his anti-Creed rants hilarious even if I'm a big fan of the house).
JR Writer is one of my favorites. I really like his personality. But hey, he's from the same town I'm from.
My favorite reviewer was and always will be Tim Swetcoff. He was the first and the best. He started the fragrance community on youtube practically, and his retirement symbolized the end of the designer era, where now everything is about niche.
My favorite active reviewer is Dracdoc. He puts more care and effort into the small but significant details than any other reviewer has.
George Fourtinas is one of my favourites.
Fine fragrance is alive; it breathes, unfolds and unravels with each passing hour....
Roja Dove
cutlass - just honest and to the point
hiro - cool style very entertaining and funny - but still informative.
dradoc - He puts a lot of care and effort into his reviews. He is a real gentleman too.
robes08- His depth of knowledge makes him great.
danforz - Intelligent and eloquent guy. I tend to agree with most of his opinions.
Cubby and Tim deserve a mention
There are some awful reviewers on YouTube.
Bottem notes
Fragrence fanatic.
Katie Puckrik !
I just recently stumbled across Fragrancebros while searching out reviews for Aftelier Perfumes. I had been watching a review by smellythoughts who is also good but doesn't have many video reviews (his blog is good and has more reviews). I like robes08 and appreciate hearing his correct pronunciations and, like SirNosebleed, I have a crush on Katie Puckrik.
- - - Updated - - -
Used to watch the majority that have been listed, but now I just search a particular fragrance and whoever has done a review on it I watch them. However I am developing a sick obsession for top ten lists. It's sad really.
My favorites are Le Grand Duc (Pfalzgreven) on youtube and Katie Puckrik (Katie Puckrik Smells) on youtube.

Kristo - The guy seems to have no interest in hype. And that's a good thing.
The Fragrance Bros - Two opinions are better than one. And they're hilarious.
Katie Puckrik - It's great to get a woman's point of view. And she's got style.
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!
"Follow your nose. It always knows." -- Toucan Sam
i like Hiro- he is a straight shooter all the way, my fav
Al has the most passion
dracdoc and robes08 are good as well
14 sprays of DRAKKAR NOIR should do it
As for my favourites, I really liked kristo though unfortunately he retired, as well as hiro, and Brandon.
I've noticed now that Robes08 has gotten a lot more comfy and complacent than he was in 2010 since he's now the most popular. But he worked hard and acheived it. He deserves every ounce of that ego. I'm not going to pretend I'm not a vain arrogant person either lol. But I prefer the humility, simplicity and brevity of his 2010 reviews.
I just felt that when Tim did it, it was innovative. And seeing 90% of the community on Youtube just trying to copy him instead of pushing new territory. Fragrance reviews on youtubes is like gangster rap. When it first came out in the late 80's, it was innovative and made a big impact. But years later, it just looks like a cliche and silly satirization of what it used to be.
Enjoy all of them, from robes, street scents to the guy who lets his wife smell them in the end, cutlass.., Katie Puckrick (though the reviews can almost be too slick), fragrance bros, dracdoc, etc, etc, all good. I usually just watch the reviews that pop up when looking for comments on a specific scent (and am mainly interested in how they judge longevity and projection then...something that I feel at times gets neglected in reviews here. Always check Darvant's (if I'm not confusing things) reviews as he often mentions them).

My favorite is Bottom Note for his innovativeness and creativity. But... after the little 'episode' from last night, I'm not sure if he'll ever make another video again.
As noirdrakkar said, to which I agree with, Swetcoff is the greatest fragrance reviewer in YouTube history. He was the best of the best. Charisma, great attitude, presentation, thoughts, no BS, no fluff, just fragrance talk without being banal, bland, boring, etc. I hope that one of these days he comes back. Who knows.
Yeah, Tim had the confidence and charisma because he was innovating. He was doing what he wanted and he set the standard.
Once everybody else tried to follow it, they came across as rigid and cliche.
I gave up watching them after a few tries. The problem with youTube reviews is the spotlight always fall on the reviewer rather than the fragrance. That's just the way visual media work. You could minimize this by focusing the camera on the product not the reviewer. But hey, what about my 5 minutes of fame?? Not every reviewer is willing to give up face time.
Ive watched a few of these. Most are either highly amusing or boring.
Id say Jim Quantrell is probally the best, and toons1200 is ok to. Street scents is good for a laugh lol.
Everything else is a bit meh.
lol @ me having an ego. I have some self confidence in my nose yes, so yes after years of smelling fragrances (specially the years I've been on youtube , I have gone in overdrive and sniff everything I can) , so i am much more confident in pin pointing certain notes and what smells good together etc... i do not think (ego wise) that I think I am the end all and be all of fragrance reviewing, I always want the community to shine and want people to sniff as much as they want.
To respond to me being complacent in the past few years, well buying a a house getting married and having a child on the way slows down your motivation in reviewing. I still have the passion but the time is not there. I try my best to give the viewer the best experience on my channel and I pride myself on my testing of fragrances. I still test fragrances with over 30 wearings in a year within different seasons and occasions to really get a feel of the fragrance. I have upgraded my camera to full HD. You are not alone that many people want me to go back to the laid back 2010 style with 10 minute videos. I've been working on cutting the fat on my reviews to hopefully bring them down to that 10-12 minute range and cut the repetition once I am back.
I love hearing feedback about my channel without personal attacks of course, and I take it with a great pride and humility to try to give the subscriber the best product, but then again it is a free product for you to look at and it can't be perfect.
My very own blog : http://thefragranceguru.blogspot.com/
EASILY MyMickers! His infectious enthusiasm and outrageous charisma make him a real life shot of 5-hour energy!(which if there was an oud flavor of 5-hour energy he would buy it and drink it...and so would I )
I also really liked watching Kersone do his thing, but it sounds like he is more focused on his own line of wares. (good for him though)

There are many reviewers on YT who do good reviews and try their best to be informative. Among them at Toons, MyMickers, Fragrancebros, genstrevs (very good), MastersofStyle-Alex (Extremely good, may be the best on YT), Fumerie Hilaire (Very informative/in depth reviews), Redolessence (One of the newer reviewers who does a very good presentation). These are just a few. We must remember that these persons are not professionals but they are avid collectors who take time out of their lives to provide us with information that pertains to our beloved hobby. For that, I thank all YT reviewers very much.
Enjoying our very own Hilaire's vidz at the mo - listed as user "Fumerie Hilaire".
KP is good.
I like robes but less and less recently as the vidz become longer and the presentation becomes more OTT.
okay can someone tell me what happened to bottom note
what did he do?
He was supposedly picked on by a reviewer by the name of Lupe. His youtube name is TheLupeExperience. People say he is snobby for liking niche only because he looks down on people and reviewers that like designer fragrance. So bottom notes called him out and it escalated very fast and the use of profanity was added in the call out youtube video. Supposedly every review bottom notes was putting up Lupe was dissing him. We never got Lupes side...but BN wasnt the only one to say he was a snob and a jerk. To be honest I've seen a few of Lupes reviews...very boring. All he was doing is reading off a computer screen. Nothing original.
I don't watch perfume reviews often; but when I do, I watch ouch110 and Fumerie Hilaire.
Dracdoc and Redolessence, for me, are the best two reviewers. Passionate, informative and most importantly they are down to earth people.
Can't go wrong with theLupeXperience. Those who know him will know he's a top class guy.
lol @ someone who has zero idea of what transpired, starts his quote with ''supposedly'' then goes off to spew out misinformation after misinformation rotfl BottomNote clearly got mad bCoz I did not agree with him on 2 issues. I never attacked him, I simply asked a question in one instance and told him he was wrong for using foul language in another. Please, be sure of what you say before you say it.
Oupavoc obviously hasnt seen any of my reviews. Go check out my byKilian L'Ouvre Noire series for originality. Go check out my reviews of Hugo Boss Energize, La Nuit, JOOP, Dior Homme, DHI etc. for a supposed niche-head. Ppl need to stop the B.S. with niche vs. designer, theyr all fragrances, stop buying into marketing B.S. A fragrance smells good or it doesn't, who cares if it's labelled as whatever?

Find them the most 'entertaining' and passionate about the fragrances they're discussing/testing.
ThnX Dailey, you're too kind & I'm from the US. I moved to the UK for a bit, Im a scholar It's been a challenge juggling the demanding British Educational system with fragrance vlogging, but it's a challenge I relish!
Katie Puckrick Smells is another good one. I enjoy her reviews.
- - - Updated - - -
I like shorter videos rather than long ones.
I like getting the following information, top notes, basenotes, best price and where to buy, and reactions of people to when you wear the fragrance. Some of my favorite reviewers have little clips where they ask someone, do you like this. It's interesting to see reactions.
I enjoy your videos (i've only watched a few), but when I find a long video I try and click ahead to find where it has the information I want. If I can't find it, I close that review and search for another reviewer.
If you want to make long videos, cool, can you provide a table of contents at the bottom that says "notes 4:31, prices 19:12, rating 22:40", so we can fast forward to what we want to find?
Thanks. Your reviews are helpful and I appreciate all the help you provide in helping us pick fragrances that match what we want.
I don't like the youtube reviewers that I have seen. I prefer to read reviews, they are better.
My favorites:
Hiro yoruzuka
Cubby cformosa
Al from StreetScents
Also like mymickers, Patrick Youngblood, and Dmaster81
Glad I saw this thread. Didnt know le gran duc did youtube reviews so I will check him out there - love his posts on here. Will also check out some of the other folks mentioned.
End of the day, I have a lot of respect for ANYBODY who has the stones to post reviews on YouTube. Don't believe it takes guts? You try it...
These people are not professionals. They're not being paid, and they're not famous people who are there to be shot at. They're people who love fragrance like everyone here does. They just enjoy expressing that in a different way through a different medium. They're just normal, every day people like everyone here. They all do this in their spare time for the love of the hobby and nothing more. Some of the attacks in this thread are shameful.
It's all too easy to be a keyboard warrior. I'll listen to people who want to slag off YouTube reviewers when they grow the balls to try it themselves.
