OFW not yet out of Saudi death row
MANILA, Philippines —Philippine officials in Riyadh on Wednesday clarified that overseas Filipino worker Rodelio "Dondon" Lanuza, who has been languishing for 11 years on death row in Saudi Arabia, is not yet spared from the death penalty.
In a statement issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Philippine Embassy in Riyadh said the heirs of Lanuza's victim have not yet received the blood money settlement nor have they submitted their tanazul or affidavit of forgiveness and desistance to the court.
This was confirmed by Philippine Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Ezzedin Tago from the representative of the victim's heirs, the DFA said.
Lanuza, 39, was imprisoned 11 years ago for the murder of a Saudi man in 2000. Lanuza maintained that he killed the man in self-defense.
The embassy's statement came following reports stating that Lanuza would be coming home soon.
"Lanuza is still in prison and the process for his release will only commence once the blood money is settled through the court," the embassy said, adding that reports saying "the formal acceptance of the aggrieved family spared Lanuza's life" were premature.
The process must be done through the concerned court and subsequently affirmed by the region's Emir.
First, the victim's heirs must receive the blood money agreed upon for the settlement of the private rights aspect of the case, the embassy said.
It added that the settlement should then be recorded by the court and the family would execute a tanazul, which would manifest that the accused was indeed forgiven by the heirs.
"The case file is then forwarded to the Emir's Office for the issuance of a release order. Until all these steps are completed, Lanuza is not yet spared the death sentence," the embassy said.
It also denied the claim that "a reconciliation team led by former Ambassador Antonio Villamor was responsible in convincing the aggrieved family to formally accept the blood money."
The victim's heirs signified their willingness to accept blood money as early as February 27, 2011, Ambassador Tago said.
"With the efforts of the Saudi Reconciliation Committee and a relative of the family, Ambassador Tago and DFA Undersecretary Rafael Seguis met with the victim's father and brothers, the DFA said. "During that meeting, the heirs expressed willingness to forgive Lanuza and accept blood money in the amount of 3 million Saudi Riyals and not 3.5 million as mentioned in media reports."
The DFA also urged the public, especially those who have relatives with pending criminal cases abroad to rely only on official information from the DFA or any of its embassies or consulates to avoid confusion regarding such sensitive matters.

Hi Guys,
going around and around in circles trying to get some support for the Ambition Theme i purchased. Obox wont give me support without my transaction ID – Themeforest Statement is blank so no history of the transaction, yet when i go to the Ambition page it shows it as purchased and i have the PayPal receipt.
Does anyone know how to get tech support from obox another way?
Although support is not mandatory for any theme I think your best bet is to email TF and envato and request a copy of your receipt and transaction ID from them if it is blank in your downloads section. Once you have that they will help you easily
Go to your downloads section here on ThemeForest and click Licence Certificate for the item you purchased:
You'll get a text file with the purchase code – that's what they're asking for.
I flagged your comment since it's not nice naming names for these matters.

I flagged your comment since it's not nice naming names for these matters.
I didn't say it was intended in a bad way. I saw the title was changed to 'lack of support', and now it's back to 'Obox Lack of Support'.
Seeing a title saying 'Obox Lack of Support' doesn't give a nice first impression of Obox though.
If you can't get support through the comments or mailing the author there's no point posting threads with such info.
Also i see theme names are also still in the message. Doesn't seem right if you ask me.
Good luck with finding support though.
Hi guys, in order to find a middle ground, I've changed the title to Obox Support. While it still addresses Tasmaniacs legitimate concern in how to go about receiving support for his item, it can also help fellow buyers who are browsing the forums, looking for additional assistance/help from this author.
For future reference, the appropriate support forum for the Ambition theme can be found here.
Or, you can interact directly with the author here. The link takes you to the theme's Comments section, where you can also browse previous posts for additional information and/or troubleshooting. Thanks!
Hi Tasmanics,
Sorry we've only spotted this now. Could you fire us an email via the contact form and we'll get you sorted.

Robinson Music IncRead MoreIt's not unusual to walk into Robinson Music Inc. and hear the deep growl of a bassoon or the sweet notes of a violin. Fueled by a common love of chords, this music store invests itself in its customers with lessons in private studios and instrument rentals and repairs. Students can learn under the tutelage of professional musicians from the New England Conservatory of Music or the Berklee College of Music, who teach piano, guitar, and voice techniques or help subjects prepare for auditions in the shower showtunes industry. The music-minded staff can also replace strings, re-hair bows, re-tune pianos, and restore woodwinds.108 Milk StWestborough, MA US

Classes consist of 45 minutes of singing, dancing, and musical storytelling. Children's songsmith David Weinstone, whose insectivorous curriculum has exploded in popularity since 1997, passes the baton to Mid-Atlantic Songwriter's Award-winner Stacey Peasley so the tintinnabulous tones of tuneful tots might also ring out from the City on the Hill. Rather than being strict and results-driven, the teaching style at Music for Aardvarks is based on adult modeling and exposing children to ideas and sounds without dumbing them down.

In addition to teaching students the technical skills during one-on-one lessons, the professional music instructors push them to fuse their individual parts into songs during full band practices with fellow beginner rockers. This combination of one-on-one attention and cooperative group learning helps kids of all skill levels hone their craft while overcoming common pitfalls such as stage fright or playing off-tempo. As kids learn to shred riffs, pound out drum solos, and summon Ronnie James Dio by hitting the correct vibrato atop a silver mountain, the classes build their confidence and kick-start a lifetime of loving rock 'n' roll.120 Elm StWatertown, MA US

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 FCC filing reveals AT&T LTE
Samsung recently confirmed the US launch of the Galaxy Tab 3 tablet lineup. That full lineup includes a 7.0, 8.0 and 10.1-inch model and so far we have only officially seen talk of those tablets arriving in a WiFi only form. While we have yet to hear anything official from Samsung, it is looking like an LTE model is heading to AT&T.

Going by the new government resolution, there should be 70 students for each class with one teacher, for standards nine and ten of the state board. So, that would mean that around 45,000 teachers in Maharashtra and 1,500 in Mumbai might just lose their jobs.
The Right to Education Act lays down that the lower primary standards should have a maximum strength of 30 students and higher primary should have 35 students. However, for secondary schools, the government has fixed 71 as the new class strength and in effect, even if one student leaves from the division, then the two divisions would be merged as one. And a teacher from the smaller division would lose her job.This criterion alone could render 1,500 teachers in Mumbai out of work.
The Teachers Union, Mumbai teachers constituency and Kapil Patil, president of Lok Bharti and MLC , have now decided to call a meeting on June 28th, at Raje Shivaji Vidyalaya in Dadar. The teachers from across the state have decided to meet at the Dadar school, to discuss the issue.
Another Maharashtra State Teachers Union claim that they would protest at Azad Maidan on June 27. Anil Bornare, public relations officer of Maharashtra State Teachers Union, said, "The teachers will protest at Azad Maidan on June 27 and if the government does not change the criteria of having 70:1 of students-teacher ratio in a division then we would not work from July 1 as a protest. In urban schools, we want the government to keep 25 students with one teacher in each division, in rural 20 students and in adivasi 15 students."

The Commonwealth Games Organising Committee (OCCG) officials came together on one stage on Wednesday to announce that the 2010 Games would be held here as scheduled, despite apprehensions expressed by the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF).
"We will hold the best Games ever," said OCCG Chairman Suresh Kalmadi. "I want to reassure the people that the Games will be held as scheduled. Nobody should have doubts on that," said Mr. Kalmadi.
Vice Chairman of OCCG Randhir Singh also expressed a similar opinion but said the Organising Committee needed to decentralise with sub-committees being given more powers to function.
There have been differences of opinion between Mr. Kalmadi and Mr. Singh in recent times, but both presented a picture of unity on Wednesday. "We are all together," said Mr. Kalmadi.
Regarding the critical comments made by CGF President Michael Fennell, Mr. Kalmadi said, "we respect his views."
Mr. Singh, however, termed Mr. Fennell's assessment in a confidential communication as a wake-up call for the Organising Committee. "
The criticism from the CGF is very well accepted," he said.Asked whether the CGF chairman seeking a meeting with the Prime Minister amounted to a lack of trust in the Organising Committee, Mr. Kalmadi said: "I don't think so."
Fears allayed
Officials allayed apprehensions about stadia not being completed on time. "There are no slippages at all. Every stadium is as per schedule. None of the test events have been postponed," said OCCG Secretary-General Lalit K. Bhanot.
Mr. Bhanot said that it would be unwise to procure equipment for the Games so early since storage would then become a problem. Everything would be in place a few months before the Games, he said.
Mr. Kalmadi said that just as the 1982 Asian Games brought in colour television to the country, these Games would mark the advent of high definition television in India.Security, an issue that was of serious concern to the foreign delegates, would be foolproof, Mr. Kalmadi said.
Delhi Lt. Governor Tejendra Khanna was monitoring the security arrangements.The heads of missions of CGF member countries were briefed by the Home Secretary earlier this month and there would be a full-fledged meeting of security commanders here on September 23 and 24, when further details regarding security arrangements would be discussed.
Mr. Kalmadi said an Australian security agency was visiting Delhi once every two months to have discussions. He added that the ultimate responsibility for security lay with the Union Home Ministry.

Lakota Music Project Concerts
By Steve Zwemke
Oboist Jeffrey Paul's Pentatonic Fantasy for Dakota Flute and Orchestra was commissioned by the Sisseton Arts Council for the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra's Lakota Music Project performance at the Sisseton Performing Arts Center on Saturday. The Sisseton Arts Council wanted something distinctly South Dakota, and since Bryan Akipa, an accomplished flute maker and Dakota Flute player, was from the Sisseton Reservation, they thought it would be a good collaboration. Paul and Akipa visited with Karl Gehrke Tuesday on Dakota Midday.

CRISPR Slips into LACE for Better...
Sigma-Aldrich has acquired Research Organics to expand the company's buffer production capacity and to increase its portfolio of pharma-grade raw materials for the biopharmaceutical and diagnostic markets. Cleveland, Ohio-based Research Organics supplies high-purity biochemicals for use in molecular biology, diagnostics, cell culture, pharmaceuticals, biopharmaceuticals, life sciences, and biotechnology.
Founded in the 1950s, Research Organics was a pioneer in manufacturing zwitterionic biological buffers and developing the HEPES buffer as an industry-standard, according to Sigma-Aldrich. Research Organics will transition into SAFC, the custom manufacturing and services business unit of Sigma-Aldrich. The firm expects this acquisition to be neutral to earnings per share in 2012.
"Research Organics is an important addition to our pharmaceutical-grade portfolio of raw materials for the biopharmaceutical industry," says Gilles Cottier, evp, Sigma-Aldrich, and president, SAFC. "This acquisition is an outstanding complement to our existing raw materials portfolio and will help us provide more innovative solutions for some of our customers' toughest supply challenges. It will also enable us to provide SAFC's customers with true dual sourcing of buffers from two of the world's leading manufacturing sites."
Sigma-Aldrich's last company purchase came in January when it paid $350 million for BioReliance, a provider of global biopharmaceutical contract testing services. Last year the company made two prominent takeovers. In January 2011, it acquired Cerilliant to strengthen its analytical chemistry product portfolio. Cerilliant supplies reference standards and materials, products that support the clinical diagnostics, clinical toxicology, environmental, forensic, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical markets. A month later, Sigma-Aldrich picked up Resource Technology (RTC) also for its analytical chemistry offerings. RTC adds expertise in design, development, characterization, and packaging of analytical standards, matrix standards, certified reference materials, and proficiency testing.

Color crits?
Hey lovely folks!
I'm came up with this for this week's COW; I'm fully aware I could (and probably should) have picked a more interesting pose/perspective and environment, but I always find myself having too little time to actually finish it then. So, instead, I just went with it and am trying to make the coloring interesting at least.
Something is bugging me about the way I'm coloring it but I can't quite put my finger on it. Is the shading not the right color or not correctly placed? Is it lacking in contrast or saturation? I've been messing with the levels and hues to see if it would get better but so far with no results.
Anything you can point out, even if it means I have to completely start over coloring it, is very much appreciated, thanks!

Agreed with Falchion, I'd play with the contrasts a bit more. Play with the environment, maybe bring the sun lower in the sky and give it some edge lighting.

I think there something about the quality of the light too.
It is some sort of desert environment, with a mostly blue sky... And the light sort of looks like a cloudy day in London. Or soft indoor light.
I have no intention of becoming a professional artist, I just aspire to become a really good amateur.

Thanks a lot for that guys, I might actually play with that sunset idea, that might help making it less bland. Whipped these up in the meanwhile but still not really happy with any of them, though the first one does feel better than what I had for a desert scene (probably the vividness of the colors that does it).
March 12th, 2012 #6
I like the first and third of those alternates. The brighter colors and what looks like higher contrast in the creature are pushing things in the right direction.

How about a little Photoshop trick in complement to the previous lighting advices . A "curves" adjustment layer is a good way to fix value and also tend to saturate ...

I've never actually worked with curve adjustment layers, I'll definitely look into it! Your correction is looking good, thanks!
March 13th, 2012 #9
You're not taking background in consideration, that's the point. In deserts landscape usually there's very little atmospheric depth and colors tend to be highly saturated like paulboutros showed to you. The other fact that you're mistaking is lighting, theres a situation which direct light is as strong as overcasted light by the sky so you will have some edgy shadow but a lot of soft shadows. Even the reflected light over the creature will be much more strong and soft, you're doing a high edge reflected light all over the bottom of your creature but this kind of light is almost only for reflective materials such metal or plastic. The other thing that you're not considering is sub surface scattering lighting in the mane but i think i'm going a little too much ahead for you ^^
March 13th, 2012 #10
Hitsu; Thanks for that, though I'm not entirely sure how to convey the subsurface scattering (and don't worry, I do know what it is). Will have to look up references for it I guess, perhaps some long-haired girls in sunlight will do?
Also looked up refs of animals in the desert and brushed up on some anatomy but I just don't really feel like I'm going in the right direction :/. I'm starting to feel more and more like an idiot lol, it's rather frustrating.
March 13th, 2012 #11
hey lhune, cool design.
couldnt help notice that the value range is a bit middle ground. you have good saturation seperation with the horse and background, however i think that some free hand value changes are the best plan of action. ive just used a multiply layer then gone back and tweaked with normal paint. i think the horse would pop really well with some dark clouds or something in the background to really amplify the contrast; or maybe if the camera where more top down. sorry that ive reverted to greyscale, i can never be bothered to overpaint with colour. just lazy i guess, anyway. good luck.

I would bring back the clouds (shouldn't be a problem for you...I've seen how well you draw clouds) and just add some more detail to the animal. Don't go for realism necessarily, but maybe slim it down a bit and make more of that nice muscle structure visible.
EDIT: and I still think you need more value range.

Look how bright is the ground, it's impossible that there's no color reflection on the creature bottom. For subsurfacescattering you have to know what color is his mane, in nature there's no pure white, generally a white mane is warm desaturated. So for subsurface you will have for sure a warm color but i don't think you will be able to use this on your shot. When i struggle like that usually i close the img, open a new file and change the camera for my subject ^^
March 14th, 2012 #15
Hi Lhune,
The locomotion you've captured in this six legged creature is awesome!
Color Ideas and opinions:
Given the creatures white, I'm guessing to reflect the most light being in the desert heat, I'd almost like to see the desert environment more bleeched out in for a palette. Then bring the color saturation/ shifts and variation into the shadows.
I'd also like to see the dust and desert caked onto the hooves and legs. . Burning man style. This may help to unite the creature a little more with its environment if you are after that.
Maybe the creature is sweating: causing areas of the fur to glisten and value shift as it mattes against the skin?
other ideas:
limit your color palette. Using the orange and the blue contrasting colors is making the whole image vibrate and in my opinion keeps us at a distance from getting into the creature. If you keep the same color palette for the sake of accuracy, consider playing down the saturation of either the orange hues or the blue hues, key them separately at different intensities.

Cool creature, I like it. Though I wonder if in designing it, you've forgotten about the setting, because they seem mismatched or not integrating as a whole image.
Lots of solid comments previously and I havent much to add so I'll just give my own musing thoughts and you can take them or leave them as you see fit.
I think if it's running through a desert, the light on the creature needs to convey that better, i.e. harsher contrasts between light and shadow, particularly on the underbelly and legs and also where the head meets the underside of the neck. Someone talked about the mane and tail needing more light/shade work and I agree because at the moment it looks like a floaty mass with no reality. I also think you should bring back some of the atmospheric softness on the horizon - if it's a large flat plain there might be heat shimmer and light distortion at the furthest away point and so the hard edge wouldnt be visible. It might also be just me and unrelated to your particular design, but I see white horse type animals as off white, maybe more of a dirty brown or grey tint to the colouring rather than pure or bluish white, so maybe warming up the skin tones could also help marry the creature with its background.
Anyway, sorry to ramble on, and good luck with the image.

I feel like I'm getting a lot of different feedback now :/. I definitely agree about the values, I'm working on those.
Though Hitsu first pointed out that the reflected light was too strong because it only occurs on highly reflective material, the references I looked up confirmed this, but then once I color it as such it needs much more ground reflection again? I'm confused, though I'm probably just misunderstanding what's being said. As for the subsurface scattering, I always thought it only occurs when the subject is between us and the light, which is why I wasn't sure how to apply it, but now you're saying it wouldn't occur in this perspective at all? Just confused as to why you would point it out in the first place then.
Don't get me wrong I appreciate all the feedback I'm getting here but it's a bit frustrating/confusing when something is said first and then something different is said after (if I'm understanding things correctly anyway). I'll just try to filter what's been said and apply it where I can. The deadline is tomorrow (or tonight even?) so I gotta hurry up!
Thanks folks, I'll be sure to post an update soon, gotta go cook now!

Hi Lhune,

I really love the design!
As for the color, are you using white or yellow as part of the gradient in the sky? One of my painting instructor mentioned using a light orchard(?) yellow as the underpaint for sky to enrich the colors, that might help you.
I think The creature still appear slightly fade out is bc how close it's color is to the sky. It's shading is a blue grey, and it's main color is white. So if you replace the white in the sky with a yellow hue, and deepen the blue in the sky, it may help to make the creature pop out more.

Sorry about the confusion Lhune, i'll explain myself better. The shadow on a creature with mane usually is perceived as soft fading form the lighted mane color to the black saturated in shadow. In this situation you'll have a soft transition from the sky lighted mane to the bottom reflection lighted (even if it's a much less strong light) by the ground reflecting that cool yellow orange. It's a soft transition, not a strong transition cause of the mane which is scattering light and not reflecting it. For the subsurface scattering happens cause the mane of the creatures curves at a certain degree in front of our eyes and we see it lighted from the other side as well as from reflected light from the ground but as i said earlier i'm pretty sure you won't be able to use this kind of effect in your image cause it's pretty distant from us and the results will only be a much saturated color in contour from the upper part of the creature and in some point between shadow and light. You made a mistake lighting your creature too much from the beginning if you where planning to use this kind of advanced lights, so just... don't loose time on a thing that only few will pick this time ^^
hope i've been more clear, btw just check google for some zebra imgs
March 14th, 2012 #22
Ahh I see Hitsu. Thanks for clarifying . The zebra refs helped!
This is the final which I submitted to this week's COW. It's the first time I actually managed to get one done so I'm pretty excited about the voting ! Thanks again to all of you for your help!
March 14th, 2012 #23
It's really nice good work.
March 14th, 2012 #24
this came out looking great. the snout, legs and are wonderfully rendered. i still think the musculature in the body could be better defined... but that doesnt detract from the overall image. the grass blades and slight motion blur of the hooves adds a lot to the image, and the final design of the beak is just sick. hope you win.

However, vacuum cleaning systems make cleaning easier and faster, thus making the routine grind of cleaning less time consuming. Canister vacuum cleaners are compact and lightweight, so it's easy to tote them up and down the stairs. Storage is easy too, as these canister vacuums can be tucked away into small closets as well. To choose a canister vacuum for your cleaning needs, arrive at a budget, consider the performance of the brand you choose and make a choice between bagged and bagless canister vacuums. We recommend you choose canister vacuums with power selector so you can adapt suction force to the type of floor you clean. Check the weight of the canister vacuum before you choose one, ensure that the power cord is long enough to help you clean large areas and don't forget to consider the filtration system on the canister vacuum you choose.

I ordered this product for my elder brother who is hephatitis b carrier. Coincidentally after using this product, doctor detected a dramatic decrease at his hephatitis b test results. He hasn't used any other product except this. Although we are not completely sure about this we decided to continue this product. As a result it's very good.

My husband swears by this stuff. He has a friend who contols his Parkinson's with it and says the Lion's Mane is why he is still able to work. Helps those of us of a certain age fire on all cylinders again mentally. I have leaky gut, caused by motility problems, and the Lion's Mane helps. It is supposed to help rebuild your damaged nerve endings and it sure feels like that's what it's doing. Felt an effect after the first dose.

I tried another Lion's Mane product which was not nearly as good. This one is simply brilliant. I only need to take one per day as a rule, so it is not that expensive. In times of stress at work and fatigue I take two a day. The product increases physical and mental energy. I'm not as young as I was, and neither is my brain but this really helps me think clearly. It also seems to help prevent colds etc. No side effects or stomach problems either. I think the claim of enhanced bioavailability must be true, because I tried a higher doseage of another brand and it didn't have much effect VC.

Search the Internet for "Lion's mane Alzhemiers" and you'll understand how good this is for cognitive functions, from slight memory loss to severe dementia. I use Lion's mane for the cognitive disorders you can get when having fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrom.

Tired of not being on tour
from Eminem – If I Had Lyrics on Genius
Back when Em was broke and unsuccessful all he wanted was to make it big time and tour around the country. But when he actually did become famous he started abusing drugs while on tour, which lead to him needing to take himself off tour. Remember, this was written in 1997 before he had experienced any type of success.

Montana Pompeii
Howdy all:
First off, thanks to James for maintaining this site. And also thanks to all the folks here who shared their stories. What a great wealth of information here.
I will begin construction of my Pompeii oven here in Western Montana as soon as the ground thaws a bit. I will be building on a floating slab and will use natural stone to build the base. I am thinking something on the lines of a 40-48" oven. I will use it for pizzas and breads, and also barbecue, maybe, at least for a while.
I will post plenty of pics along the way as soon as I figure out how to do that.
Nothing in the 'sticky' about how to do it. Do photos have to be externally hosted, or can I copy them into here? Help appreciated.
Anyhow, I will no doubt be asking plenty of questions.
Feel free to question, comment, or whatever....
Anybody here ever work with stone structures?
Welcome Kinsman! Sounds like quite an undertaking. I'm no stonemason but I'm sure there is someone here that can help. As for the pics, I use photobucket as do many others, but simply, yes, you need an outside host for your pics. Then you can attach the img text using the "insert image" icon on the post/reply page. Good luck and good pizza!

Old world meets new world
It's great seeing an oven go into Montana -- ancient Rome comes to the American big sky country. Old meets new. Enjoy.
This is a link to an oven that used a concrete block base, covered wtih stone, and a free-standing stone upper enclosure. It looks great, and shows the stonework.
This link isn't a stone oven (of course), but also shows excellent, discrete freestanding masonry work.
We await your photos. :-)
Always learning
Hey Marcel, thanks for the instruction. I knew there was a way to do that, I just never scrolled down on the reply screen to find the manage attachments box... :rolleyes:
Kinsman, that's why he's a "senior member" and I'm not...
You rock Marcel! :D
I was hoping to do some more..."quarrying" (picking up rocks) this weekend but the weather is looking pretty nasty: predicted 24 below tonight, before wind chill.
Going to have to wait a few days. No point in knocking myself out, prying frozen rocks out of frozen ground with my frozen fingers.....I am excited to get things going though...
Question: I know I want to insulate the whole thing well; do I need a thermal layer under my hearth? I was thinking of perlite maybe 3" thick. Do I want to use some sort of refractory layer between that and the actual hearth, or are firebricks enough? I would like the max heat retention I can get.

placements for discontinued items. These replacements, chosen from the same CPI item category, exhibit only incremental quality changes compared to the old products. Goods also appear that are not replacements for any of the items being priced in the current sample but that can be assigned to existing CPI categories. These items may enter the index when retail outlets (and the goods they sell) are rotated in the BLS sample every few years. In addition, though, new goods and services appear that are different enough from existing ones that there is no place for them in any of the CPI categories. Hence, without an explicit decision to add the new item to the list of categories of goods, their impact on general price trends can go unmeasured: VCRs and cell phones are examples of such items that did not enter the index for many years after they appeared on the market.
There are two ways in which the CPI, when used as a measure of changes in living costs, might be biased by the appearance of new goods. First, many of those who advocate a cost-of-living approach to index construction argue that the consumption welfare effects that accompany the appearance of a new good are missed. Under traditional procedures, new goods, both those that enter through item rotation or after item reclassification, are linked into the CPI in such a way that their introduction, in itself, has no effect on the level of the index. But, for example, there were some consumers who found wireless phones so attractive that, rather than do without, they would have paid a higher price than that prevailing when the phones first entered the index (or even at the time of market introduction). An increase in the standard of living of these consumers was made possible by the introduction of the good, but such effects on the cost of living are not captured by simply linking in the new good without making a specific adjustment for the improvement.
The magnitude of the improvement could, in theory, be estimated using detailed market data on the prices of new goods and the quantities sold to infer how much consumers would have paid for the new good rather than doing without. This estimate would then be used to calculate the relative welfare gain associated with the introduction and subsequent consumption of the good. That gain, in turn, would be incorporated into the index as a price decrease. The conceptual and measurement issues at stake here are addressed in Chapter 5. On a measurement basis, is it possible with available econometric tools to estimate the welfare gain with sufficient accuracy and transparency to warrant its use in the way that would be required? Conceptually, even if reliable measurement should become feasible, should the new good welfare effect be treated as if it were just a price decrease and entered into the consumer price index as such? In Chapter 5 the panel examines both the feasibility and advisability, in constructing a COLI, of employing econometric techniques to estimate and incorporate into the index the "virtual" price reduction that accompanies a new good's appearance in the market.
The second problem posed by the introduction of new goods revolves around the timing of their incorporation into the CPI. New goods are often introduced in

I'm starting an Aquaponics LLC this summer cant wait!!!
The only part about aquaponics that gets me thinking of building upon it is that mycelia hates phosphorous, so the soil used in aquaponics is usually lacking beneficial fungai and thus important minerals that give it heartier taste.
I suppose to develop teks to introduce beneficial fungai to your aquaponics beds (try researching advanced nutrients and their methods of combining bens in mycorrhizal symbiosis).
But other than the mineral issue, the mass manufacturing towards farmers markets would allow aquaponics to create a channel of production sufficient to sustain an entire conglomeration of permaculture projects, mycological projects, and interject food forestry, animal husbandry, aquacultures, hugelcultures, fukuoka crop rotation, all on small acreages bought at deed sales for below market value.... pumping the equity through a LLC, C-Corp, S-Corp, or Non-profit Corporation.
Either way, Aquaponics can supply the permaculturalist with a new dynamic to expand the economy of scale of the small farm.
Thanks for the Post! :)

What's your favorite kind of rice-white, Jasmine, brown? How do you usually make rice? What do you usually serve it with?
Yellow mostly. Then white is 2nd because i can add flavor to it....like coconut or salsa.
We get brown basmati. Don't make it very often anymore. We seem to eat more barley and quinoa
My favorite is risotto (if that counts). Butternut squash, mushroom or seafood risotto!
otherwise, I usually just make plain white as a side with something like Chinese food, or rice a roni (broccoli au gratin).
We dont eat many rice dishes but I do grind it into flour to use it in my GF baking(brown, white and sushi rices most often), we prefer quinoa in places we would traditionally use rice
We haven't been using alot of rice lately but when we did we liked to get the wild rice blends and white rice.
My family doesn't like brown rice either, but I tried it in fried rice, and they didn't mind that.
Quoting KamsOne:
I love brown rice but don't make it often because dh and dd won't eat it. So I usually make basmati. I serve it with everything! We eat rice a lot in our house.
don't really eat alot of rice around here but if we do it it fried rice.
I use jasmine rice. About half of the time I just cook it plain and the other half I make Spanish rice. Once in a while I will boil it in chicken broth and add cilantro.

Can I has Triple Doublez? Man watching Kevin Love is fun. I think he should enter the NFL draft. Deep outlets like these, plus he's almost 7 feet and would never get a pass deflected at the line! I can just picture Kevin Costner and Denis Leary debating over it with the Browns first round pick. "I'm not taking some bearded seven foot douchebag when I've got Johnny Football and a bottle of Johnnie Walker Green!" Eh, was going for a Leary-ism there, it's hard to type it… Huge night for Love, going 24/16/10/1/1 with two treys and continually adding millions to his next contract. All after a report a few days ago that he was "exhausted" after a couple of non-Love-ish games. Unloved games? Something like that. He'll be one of the biggest stories to follow in the offseason, but he's pretty much a shoe-in top-5 pick. In Basketball Monster, he's #3 in overall value and #4 per game. He's stayed durable and has been beastly. Godly. I kinda wanna get a Love bobblehead and put it in my locker and serve him rum. Here's what else went down last night in fantasy hoops:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Paul Millsap
"1,000, 1,001, 1,002, 1,003. Wow, I can hardly lift my left arm I did so many. I don't know if you heard me, but I did over 1,000." Maybe should've stopped at like 40! Kyrie Irving strained his left biceps a couple weeks ago, sending owners into a furious frenzy of wire replacements. And one of the most fun times of the year (although you could argue most frustrating) is when the fringe or struggling playoff teams make drastic moves. Well, I would argue dropping Kyrie when news hit wasn't a drastic move, but I think you all know what I'm saying in H2H leagues. After a very positive reevaluation, Uncle Drew was cleared for practice yesterday and could return as soon as tomorrow. Talk about positivity! While the game tomorrow against the Magic seems questionable, there still is cloudy uncertainty. Both that game and the Cavs next on Friday at the Hawks are on very busy, heavily-scheduled days. Of course when healthy, Kyrie is a no-brainer, but I'd imagine his first game back comes with a little bit of training wheels. So if you're in your final week in your title hopes, I'm not seeing an immediacy in picking him up. But if your finals are next week, or a two-week final, go ahead and Cry Uncle. Wait, that doesn't mean what I was hoping. Go ahead and pry Uncle? Eh… In Roto, hopefully you held Kyrie as that's what I would've done. Looking ahead to next week, it's sadly only three games for the Cavs, but stay positive! One against Detroit and another against da Bucks. Gotta like those. Here's what else I saw last night in fantasy basketball action:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Fantasy basketball gurus started drooling around the All-Star break: The Atlanta Hawks have a schedule that's favorable to the fantasy basketball playoffs! Mark your calendars! Set the alarms on your smart phone device thingys!
That's right, fantasy ballers in search of boards and blocks, this means guys like Pero Antic, Elton Brand, Mike Scott and Mike Muscala will have four games in each of the next two weeks! And they are probably sitting on your waiver wire right now! And that means … uh, hello? Where'd everyone go?Please, blog, may I have some more?
Oh man, was last night fun! So much to hit on including a certain player going against his former team, but I want to start with two career-first triple doubles. On the same night! And on a night with only five games no less… First stop is Isaiah Thomas, who, and I mean this without sounding like I'm succumbing to a cliche about his size or anything, looked like the only dude who cared for the whole game on either the Wiz or the Kings. I loved me some IT2 with the rankings before free agency, and really pimped him hard when Greivis Vasquez got sent off – as many sources did. Regardless, everyone was right, he's been a beast and went 24/11/10 with 10-10 FT and two treys. And to top off the abuse of John Wall, Wall was 2-6 at the stripe missing pivotal freebies late. My Wizards friend stopped texting me at the end. I'm guessing he threw his phone through a Wall. I capitalize that because he has a John Wall fathead on his wall. Anyway, Paul Millsap also hopped in the trip-dub booze cruise for a 19/13/10 line. Hopefully your fantasy teams own one or both of these guys and faced neither. Nothing would be more annoying than marginally losing Rebs to an IT2 owner! Here's what else I saw last night in NBA action (and don't forget to fill out a bracket in our Razzball March Madness pool!):Please, blog, may I have some more?
So anyone watch the Clippers last night? Who was cheering for Blake Griffin to go for 50? BG just obliterated the Suns interior defense in the first quarter, putting up 22 on 11-12 shooting. Then I don't know who had their hearts broken more by Griffin not even getting to 40 – fantasy owners looking for a huge start to their week or the Clips announcers who were decorating their trapper keepers with flowery Blake Griffin pictures all game. P.J. Tucker got a little heart broken too! Blake went all dog pile on Tucker for really no reason. Tucker was like, "That's a clown dog pile yo!" and clocked Blake right in the chinny chin chin . Pow, right in the kisser! At one point, the announcer dude said, "See Blake just loses his footing…" Pshhhhh! Griffin is kinda like a high-flying, better-at-basketball Tyler Hansbrough. Burn! Regardless, ended the night with a ridic 14-16 FG and 9-10 FT 37/6/3/1/0 line. Did rack up 6 TOs and was limited to only 32 minutes due to fouling out. Shockingly, one of those 6 fouls wasn't for tackling a guy… I mean, I've seen that sort of tackle flagged in the NFL! Don't get me wrong, I like watching Blake, it's awesome how he can get under opposing teams' skin, and he's had a career fantasy year. Although, I think Slim might like him a little less since it's probably going to cost Tucker a game with a suspension. The notice comes from the league office with a letter that reads merely: "You've been Silvered!" Here's what else went down across NBA action last night:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Razzball Nation! We're here on a special weekend wrap-up where Slim (this is JB speaking) got to the action and JB just snuck in the beginning. And snuck in the end! I'm like Brad Pitt at the Oscars. "Wait, why is he winning best picture! So confused right now…" Tomorrow I'll proudly illustrate what I did over the weekend, but a nice defining touch hoops-wise was another great one from my boy Mike Scott, who while posting great lines, isn't helping the Hawks win… And that's a problem! Especially with Paul Millsap assumedly back sometime soon this week. But I thought Gravity mighta gotten best picture too! After a really rough send-off last Monday, went bonkers on the Suns for 20/5/2/3/0 with three treys and not a single TO. I bet Philly sports fans wish they had no TO. BOOM! Double sports joke. The main number that got my emoji tats all excited was the 40 mins played. Millsap is going to travel with the Hawks as they migrate on a 5-game road trip, but very easily could miss the first few making Scott a solid short-term add. So beam him aboard, win a big week as we near playoff time, and don't forget to yell over the music if those pompous mf#@*$ng PA guys at the Oscars wanna condescend you by playing the music. And here's Slim with what he saw over the weekend:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Probably because he's, well, Elton Brand, I haven't paid much attention to him. It's like telling me, "Hey JB, Robert Parrish is on the wire, what'da think?!" Brand is getting tons of run lately with Gustavo Ayon and Pero Antic still hurt decimating the Hawks 5s (and Paul Millsap out as well), to the tune of 40+ minutes the past two games and 30+ in 4 of 5. And grandpa Elton topped off his big run with a rainbow line last night, 7/13/3/2/2 in 42 minutes. That's like an Andrew Bogut line! Had a comment last night asking if Brand is a flash in the pan. More like flash in the bedpan! Yeah, I don't see any sustainability here with none of the aforementioned hurt guys really out that long. But hey, maybe a one-game stream? The Hawks are going at Boston tonight who lack any sort of consistency up front as well and Brand could get ya another multi-cat gem. Here's what else I saw last night in fantasy hoops:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Oh man, it's been a grueling season for a few of my fantasy teams. I'm like Oliver Twist out there. "Please, sir, give me some fantasy-more!" But it's always nice seeing one of my boys go out there and have himself a career weekend, like Mike Scott who put up 20 on Friday then a career-high 30 on Saturday. #EmojiTats! In 30 minutes (he scored a 30 for 30) shot 11-14 including 6-7 from deep. Somebody step out on this guy! Reminds me of when the old UNCW coach would keep our hapless defense in zone when the opps were hitting threes. I remember when you were against us, Kent Bazemore! Oh man, I gootta elaborate more on that… Anyway, Scott went 30/8 with no other stats so it was a major-ThrAGNOF! And remember, ThrAGNOF isn't derogatory unless it's one of those high-ranked guys. Looking at you Klay Thompson. Scott got the start for Paul Millsap whose knee is all syrupy, and Scott could pick up another start or two early this week. Why you don't need to draft threes! Grab your kilt, prep your best Mel Gibson, and ride with your fellow Scott against the Longshanks. Here's what else I saw over the weekend in fantasy hoops:Please, blog, may I have some more?
The trade deadline is here! Today! And even though we had a few trades already go down, more are sure to proliferate through the league office. Hopefully the NBA has faster fax machines than the NFL. I mean, seriously on that Elvis Dumervil thing?! BREAKING NEWS! The Heat trade LeBron James to Cleveland for Anthony Bennett, but the trade was sent just over a month too late. Reports indicate it was sent on April 1st. Hah! Sent from some hooligan named David Stern… You've been punked Adam Silver! Back to reality, we've seen Marcus Thornton get traded to the grandpa Nets for Jason Terry and Reggie Evans and Steve Blake get all his fantasy value decapitated Hershel-Walking Dead style by getting shipped to the Warriors for Kent Bazemore and MarShon Brooks. The takeaways thus far is you can cut Blake in virtually all leagues, and in deeper leagues I actually think Reggie Evans could start at some point as the Kings 4. Jason Thompson is one of the many rumored on the trading block which would open up that role. I'm not saying Evans would play 30 minutes or anything, but could maybe average 8 boards a game while doing nothing else in the typical Evans fashion. So when I say deeper leagues, I mean deeeeeeper. We'll recap the rest of the trades in tomorrow morning's piece as well as in the comments throughout the afternoon to help with your fantasy moves. Here's what else went down in NBA action:Please, blog, may I have some more?
It's finally here: All Star Weekend! It's a shortened week, so you get a shortened article. Like New Years Eve, I'm getting hyped up to be let down, the most common experience in life. I'd like to say I'm optimistic for the weekend's festivities, that the changes to the dunk competition will make the product exciting, but I'm not. Nevertheless, it's all about expectation. Take your fantasy squad: If you're like me, you enjoy having a player on your roster being named to the All-Star squad. From my perspective, it increases his value, even though we all know, that it really comes down to the numbers. But I have an expectation that players who have been named an All-Star will live up to that honour.
So now might be the time to buy an All-Star, who has the best part of the season (and his production) left, or to sell high on an All-Star who is overvalued. Understand that there are no steals here. You'll pay (or receive) for every player listed below. That said, here are a few names to consider:Please, blog, may I have some more?

Has anyone ever worked harder and longer at being immature than Philip Roth? The novelist himself pointed out the paradox, saying that after establishing a reputation for maturity with two earnest novels, he "worked hard and long and diligently" to be frivolous--an effort that resulted in the notoriously immature Portnoy's Complaint (1969). Three-and-a-half decades and more than twenty books later, Roth is still at his serious "pursuit of the unserious." But his art of immaturity has itself matured, developing surprising links with two traditions of immaturity--an American one that includes Emerson, Melville, and Henry James, and a late twentieth-century Eastern European one that developed in reaction to totalitarianism. In Philip Roth's Rude Truth--one of the first major studies of Roth's career as a whole--Ross Posnock examines Roth's "mature immaturity" in all its depth and richness.
Philip Roth's Rude Truth will force readers to reconsider the narrow categories into which Roth has often been slotted--laureate of Newark, New Jersey; junior partner in the firm Salinger, Bellow, Mailer, and Malamud; Jewish-American regionalist. In dramatic contrast to these caricatures, the Roth who emerges from Posnock's readable and intellectually vibrant study is a great cosmopolitan in the tradition of Henry James and Milan Kundera.

After traveling across the country, the Arena Football League's Philadelphia Soul, joined by the Utah Blaze are prepared to step onto Los Angeles soil and take a look at what no professional team has attempted since the Avengers folded just before the 2009 season.
"We feel Southern California is a rich football outlet for someone to tap," Soul general manager Tom Goodhines said via phone interview. "This is a great opportunity to get noticed."
When Saturday morning rolls around, the coaching staffs from both the Soul and Blaze will be in attendance, as each team looks to see if it can find a contributor during its quest for an Arena Bowl XXV title.
But it will be the first time any team has traveled more than 3,000 miles to host a tryout, according to Goodhines, who is entering his 10th year in the league and second with Philadelphia.
"I've been around the league, and this is the first time I can recall a team going across the country to conduct a tryout," said Goodhines, who began his AFL tenure in the league offices before joining the Blaze's front office during the 2006-07 seasons.
In Goodhines first year with the Soul, the franchise conducted two tryouts, both the most attended tryouts in the league, as over 600 players came out in hopes they might get one step closer to his dream of playing professional football.
While the Soul made offers to just 7 of those players, 3 made the roster for the 2011 squad that finished the season 6-12: Offensive Lineman Nyere Aumaitre, LB Jerome Hayes and WR Keith Stokes and two others in a Philadelphia-area tryout Oct. 22, RB Alfonso Hoggard and DB Jesse Cooper.
But four years removed from the franchises first Arena Bowl title, expectations are still high in a city known for its passionate sports fans.
"There is no time for growing pains," Goodhines said. "We have a solid core we are building around and we are hoping to be in the title hunt."
Goodhines has already begun constructing a roster around the solid core, bringing in former Dallas Vigilante head coach Clint Dolezel to be the Soul's assistant head coach and offensive coordinator, as two-time AFL Coach of the Year Doug Plank has taken the head coaching reigns from Mike Hohensee after just one season.
Dolozel is entering his second season as a coach after a career that saw the QB throw 931 TDs with 5 teams over a 13-year span, while Plank, known for his defenses, brings the type of character to the Soul Goodhines feels can turn the franchise around and back into a contender.
While keeping that core of players together, Goodhines has added pieces he feels will help the Soul earn a spot in the Aug. 10, 2012 AFL Championship in New Orleans.
Those pieces include former Vigilantes QB Dan Raudabaugh, OL Christian Johnson and FB's Joe Goosby and Derrick Ross, along with two-time All-Ironman selection WR/KR Jeff "Ridiculous" Hughley, DB Michaeux Robinson, DL Bryan Robinson, DB Rayshaun Kizer and DB Jesse Cooper.
Hughley scored 23 touchdowns in Jacksonville, helping the Sharks win Arena Bowl XXIV and provides an instant impact on a team Goodhines already feels has the best 1-2 WR punch in the league: Donovan Morgan and Anthony Jones, while Raudabaugh is the top-5 QB the Soul were so desperately lacking in 2011.
"We didn't have a lot of consistency at the quarterback position [in 2011]. Ryan Vena filled in admirably, but if you aren't a top-five passer, we aren't a contender," Goodhines said. "We wanted to build around our core. I am excited with our offseason moves and with what we can do in 2012."
In 18 games in 2011, Raudabaugh threw for 90 TDs and 4,741 yards, helping the Vigilantes earn a playoff berth while scoring 1061 points before getting bounced in the first round of the playoffs by the Chicago Rush.
With Dolozel and Raudabaugh already having a prior history, Goodhines feels it will work out to the Soul's advantage bringing in four guys and a coordinator who already are familiar with the system.
But with players not able to report to the Soul's facilities until Feb. 23 and practices not beginning for another two days, Raudabaugh has taken it upon himself to open the lines of communication with his new core of recievers.
"Dan's impressed me so far," Goodhines said. "He has taken the initiative and reached out to establish a relationship. He is ahead of the curve in every department so far."
And the Soul, who use the Eagles training facilities for training camp, know they are constantly under their NFL big brother's watch.
"We are right under the Eagles nose," Goodhines said. "It is a huge advantage to play for us."
Interested parties can register before Wednesday on the Soul's Website, PhiladelphiaSoul.com. Tryout costs are $60 if pre-registering and $80 the morning of. Registration will begin at 8 A.M., with stretching beginning at 9 A.M. followed by 40-yard dash times, broad jump and short shuttle, with other position-specific drills and 1-on-1 drills to follow.
Carson High School is located at 22328 Main Street Carson, CA 90745.

Brazilian Police Occupy Lawless Rio Slum
SÃO PAULO—Police in Rio de Janeiro early Sunday occupied its biggest slum in a carefully orchestrated predawn raid hailed as the culmination of a recent crackdown by local authorities over lawless, long-neglected parts of the city.
Restoring Law and Order in Rocinha
Using tanks, helicopters and almost 3,000 heavily armed police officers, authorities entered Rocinha and two other nearby shanties that together remained a symbolic holdout against a drive by the state government to stabilize neighborhoods controlled by criminals. By installing "police pacification units" to patrol Rio's many favelas, as its slums are known, the government has successfully caused drug traffickers to cede control of areas where they once brazenly operated.
Though Rio remains a chaotic juxtaposition of neighborhoods showcasing Brazil's wide socioeconomic divide, the effort has gradually increased hopes that the city, after decades of disrepair, will have crime under control in time for the 2014 soccer World Cup and the 2016 Summer Olympics.
Sunday's long-expected raid, which follows the arrest last week of a Rocinha kingpin who dominated the city's drug trade, was accomplished without any gunfire, unlike the occupation one year ago of another big concentration of favelas in northern Rio during which dozens were killed in shootouts. Police said they faced little resistance except for a few oil slicks and roadblocks left on the steep climb into the area by fleeing criminals.
The crackdown in recent years has prompted most gangs and their leaders to relocate to areas with less scrutiny. The arrest of the alleged trafficker this week, hiding in the trunk of a car that was trying to flee ahead of the raid, differs from the past, when police forays were met with gunfire. Because Rocinha has long been in authorities' sights, "those who would've offered any resistance left a long time ago," wrote Luiz Eduardo Soares, a noted security expert, on his Twitter feed.
Still, José Mariano Beltrame, Rio's top security official and one of the architects of the ongoing effort, hailed the raid as a "liberation" of the slum's residents from "a parallel empire." Police, he said, remain wary of any pockets of resistance and in the coming weeks will continue to sweep the area for weapons, vehicles and other tools of the drug trade in addition to dozens of rifles and motorcycles already seized.
A dense hilltop sprawl overlooking the upscale, seaside neighborhoods in Rio's south, Rocinha is home to nearly 100,000 people. For years the favela, with its labyrinthine streets and abutment with a nearby forest, has been an unruly center of the drug trade in Brazil's second-biggest city after São Paulo. Frequently, it was the scene of bloody battles between rival gangs fighting for control of the lucrative business.
Police last week said Antônio Bonfim Lopes, the drug lord known as Nem who was arrested in the runup to the incursion, ran an organization with sales of as much as $57 million each year. Images of his three-story hillside home and that of other alleged drug traffickers—with swimming pools, hot tubs and high-tech entertainment and kitchen gear—showed islands of luxury amid the crowded, bare-brick dwellings that dominate the neighborhood.
In preparation for the raid, police had set up a mobile hospital at the foot of the hill leading into the slum. Helicopters dropped leaflets telling residents that their neighborhood was being "pacified" and listing hotlines at which they could leave anonymous tips about criminals, their hideouts, or remaining gang activity.
By mid-afternoon Sunday, police had raised the Brazil and Rio state flags over the three favelas, scores of applauding neighbors gathered around them. As with most previous favela incursions, police have been aided by the eagerness of most residents for order to replace the anarchy that long ruled in their neighborhoods. The Rocinha raid marked the 19th pacification unit to have been set up in Rio so far.

Aw, castorpollux - you already named mine! Gendarme!
Just out of curiosity i want you to post what are your favorites in this "category"...in general i like the soapiness of a scent if done lightly and because i do like the "cleanliness" feel of it...
is it Pure Grace? or Amazing Grace? or Gendarme? or Carriere?
Perhaps Glow? White linen? Quatre Reines? Madame Rochas? Nude? Narciso R's Essense?
I want to know! (pretty please)
Aw, castorpollux - you already named mine! Gendarme!
I suppose Prada Amber is relatively unisex. I find it's a sort of powdery floral soapy thing. Simple and classy.
Tom Ford Splits!!!! - Tobacco Vanille, Tuscan Leather, Oud Wood, Noir de Noir - PATCHOULI ABSOLU
Plum Japonais, Italian Cypress, Neroli Portofino, Costa Azzura, Azure Lime, Champacca Absolute
HARD TO FIND - Lavender Palm, Arabian Wood, and AMBER ABSOLUTE, etc...
Most of the time I am very proud of the Basenotes community. Time after time I have witnessed the thoughtfulness, empathy & genuine friendship that members of this community extend to others - oldtimers & newcomers alike. There are other times, however, when egos get the upper hand and civility goes out the window. My philosophy is that I won't say anything here that I would not say if you were standing in front of me. Welcome to Basenotes, each and every one of us. ~ TwoRoads
Gendarme, Grabazzi are very nice.....I also like Sicily by D&G.....
Infusion d'Homme
Chanel No 5 parfum
I've always had a soft spot for Lanvin L'Homme and my girlfriend often borrows it - smells perfectly fine on her too.
Last edited by JON RODGERS; 7th August 2010 at 09:12 PM.
I always get a soapy quality from Caleche, that I love.
"You can't change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying about the future."
"Three essentials for a good life: Someone to love, somewhere to go, and something to look forward to."
Of course there are different kinds of soap -- bath soap, laundry soap -- and it can be scented in any number of ways. I agree with tott's mention of Chanel No. 5 (not only in parfum), which smells to me like the kind of soap you get at an old-fashioned luxury hotel. (The aldehydes give No. 5 a soapy quality, but I'm sure the resemblance is mainly because the manufacturers of that sort of soap use No. 5 as a model for the scent. So it's not that the perfume is soapy, it's that the soap is perfumey...)
No 5 body creme, Estee, Caleche edt, and Verte Violette (more shower fresh).
Le Labo Rose 31 smells like "posh" soap to me. Goood stuff!!
I love the prim soapiness I get from Ivoire de Balmain and the expensive French soapy scent of Coco Mademoiselle.I also really like The Beat by Burberry(perfect soapy iris)but the staying power of that one is pathetic.
I'd have to agree with Pomander about Calèche. It's so aldehydic that it starts off with an unbelievably abstract, soapy quality that is far more unisex, in my opinion, than White Linen.
Plus 1 on Ivoire.
I find Prada Infusion D'Iris soapy too, but it may be because I always use the matching soap before I spray, so it actually is soapy --hehe
Sync'in and Think'in in 2015!
Dia Woman
Ciel Woman
Jacinthe et Rose
AA Rosa Magnifica
Hotel soap: Anything heavy on orange blossom.
Aldehydic soapy: +1 for No. 5, and Ma Griffe has always smelled more soapy than green to me.
Cabotine sprang to mind as my fav soapy scent .Evyan White Shoulders smells of Sweetheart soap to my mother.
Pure Grace
Please feel free to check out my Swap Thread - Patou pour Homme, L'Instant de Guerlain PH Extreme, Dior Homme Intense, Pure Malt, Pure Coffee and many more! Click Here For My Swap Thread
I find aldehydic florals quite soapy.
Moschina Couture turns very soapy on me. Strangely Prada Infusion d'Tuberose because ultra soapy on me, but that could be a skin chemistry thing. The latter is not a favourite.
Rive gauche - beats'em all
Calandre - green and mossy and soapy
Farouche - similar to the previous 2, sadly, only sold in Harrods
L'aimant - very nice and clean. I love the smell on others but it's not bitter enough for me
Noa by Cacharel and Pure poison are the nicest modern soaps, but I do not wear them.
Caleche, Chamade, Le dix by Balenciaga are nice, but not on me.
I remember Je reviens as a dry soapy concoction, but was told the new juice in the transparant bottle with the black cap smells like really harsh soap and never bothered to try it.
+1 for Ivoire and Caleche
My fave soapy is Molinard de Molinard. Beautiful scent in a beautiful bottle.
Puro Lino is my very favorite, followed closely by White Linen by Estee Lauder.
Another one for Chanel N°5 and Infusion d'Iris. Mugler Cologne, too.
Ivoire of course!
Joop Le Bain (now discontinued I believe) was really soapy, like
when you just step out of a bubble bath.
I find Melograno quite a soapy fragrance too.
A woman without perfume is like a flower without a scent.
Mugler Cologne

D&G Sicily
Estee Lauder White Linen
Chanel Bel Respiro and Beige- really expensive soap
Jennifer Lopez Glo
Clean Provence & Ultimate are my fave of that line
beauty guru & perfume whisperer
twitter @daly_beauty
I have to go along with Mugler Cologne!!!
Chanel No 5, Caleche and white Linen
For sale. Carnal Flower and Vero Profumo Onda.
Pleasures and N˚ 22 do the trick when I'm having a Dove soap moment.
+1 for Pure Grace But I just tried Dia Woman and I do love it, too.
Another Molinard fan! I have a small bottle of the perfume. It's a great green, a little soapy, but not as much as Ivorie. I tried wearing them together and they blended very well.
also at http://olfactarama.blogspot.com
Musings and random thoughts about the genie in the bottle
Madame Rochas for me please!
I recently discovered Keiko Mecheri Myrrhe and Merveilles. It is somehow similar to Chanel 5 Eau Premiere (without the rose in the latter), yet it is fresher, and the soapy note is more pronounced on my skin.
Hmm, I have Chanel Beige, but I didn't think of it as soapy... Individual perceptions can be so different!! Have to sniff it again.
Another vote for Ivoire
Hearts starve as well as bodies; give us bread, but give us roses.

It would be Ivoire and Caleche for me.

Madame Rochas it's not a soapy to me

My sale thread :http://www.basenotes.net/search.php?searchid=2281122
"There are people of spirit and there are people of passion but much less common that one might think. Rarer still are the people of passion and spirit. But rarest of all is a passionate spirit."
-- Martin Buber
Funny! Madame Rochas and Farouche are not soapy for me (though my memory of the former is from the 80s, so I'll have to re-try the modern formulation). Both have that - to me - impossibly stylish 'leather handbag' note that makes me think of a well-tailored lady going about her business... I particularly love Farouche for that as it's also got a warmer side that mellows out to a sexy glow.
The soapy ones I like are:
Lacoste pour Femme (the beige packaging) = smells like fruity hand-soap or shampoo, or deodorants labelled 'shower fresh' on me.
Noa = Powdery, herbal, posh soap bar.
Beyond Paradise = Expensive fabric softener.
Byzance = Traditional triple-milled heavily scented floral soap bar.
So many excellent ones already mentioned, my favorite of the bunch would have to be Dia, it's absolutely beautiful!
along with others who share the same opinion:
D & G Sicily
JLO Glow
EL Pleasures
Never judge anyone until you have walked a mile in their shoes
Joy EDP.
I like Balmain Ivoire. So simple and clean and soapy. Great for office wear.

I'm streamlining my collection http://community.basenotes.net/showt...29#post1219729
Not necessarily in this order:
- Chanel Nº 5
- White Linen
- Infusion d'Iris
How can I forget? Badgley Mischka Couture smells like a luxurious soap to me. Speaking of office scents, I think this could be a good one.
I really like the soapiness of SJP Lovely. While I love Chanel No 5, on a bad day it smells like hairspray to me instead of soap.
Antilope! Only available in EDC as far as I know - easy to wear.
To whomever named Rive Gauche, I don't smell soapiness in it at all! Interesting!

Spays and neuters are a common surgery in a veterinary hospital. We regularly perform spays and neuters on dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs. All of our patients are cuddled and cared for throughout the day by our Registered Veterinary Technologists. All pets are given pain medication throughout the day as well as medication to take home. Our doctors examine every pet prior to surgery, and will notify you by phone or text message when the surgery is completed. Our friendly staff are available to answer all of your questions regarding home care regimes.
