ProduktinfoPaul McCartney's tried it; Elvis Costello, too. So have Sting, Peter Gabriel, and even Leonard Bernstein. But a maverick California composer named Mark Abel has created what may be the most elegant and persuasive attempt yet to marry classical and rock. So get ready for a unique and powerful listening experience.
The Dream Gallery is an evocative, sophisticated and hard-hitting cycle of songs for soloists and chamber orchestra that explores the inner lives, struggles, illusions and home turf of seven archetypal Californians. The often startling lyrics and striking music combine to pierce straight to the heart of the human condition, while laying bare the flaws, foibles and sins of the society we all share, Californians or not. With winning performances from singers and orchestra alike, these stunning songs reveal a fresh style – decades in the making – in which the core content of classical and rock has been so thoroughly crossbred as to constitute a new strain of American art song.
"The Dream Gallery: Seven California Portraits is a big song cycle for soloists and chamber orchestra that depicts a group of archetypal Californians and the regions in which they live.
The product of an intense year-and-a-half of composing and recording, Gallery exposes both the state's varied landscape and the fault lines of its characters' internal worlds. Dispensing with postcard themes and stressing stark realism, the piece highlights these complexities through music that melds elements of classical, rock and jazz, and is performed by high caliber musicians from across Southern California.
To emphasize the characters' individuality, I chose a different singer for each of the cycle's seven movements. The soloists – Mary Jaeb, David Marshman, Janelle DeStefano, Delaney Gibson, Carver Cossey, Martha Jane Weaver and Tom Zohar -- form a fascinating cross-section of the musical life of the region. All of them met admirably the challenge of a composition posing unusual demands and a high degree of characterization." — Mark Abel (composer)

The biggest challenge I faced was the lighting. It was pretty bad. The Parade of Ships took place between 9 am and noon, and they couldn't have chosen a worse time as far as photography goes. At nine oclock, as the ships were raising their sails, the lighting was decent. It wasnt great, but it was OK. Every minute that passed meant that the lighting got worse and worse, and by ten is was almost pointless.
In my Creative Techniques in Photoshop course, one of the techniques I discuss is blend modes. This is a technique where you can combine a layer and a background in unique ways. I knew that it would be impossible to select a tall ship from its background with all the rigging, so the only way I could combine a great sky and beautiful natural light with the ships was by blending the images using this technique in the layers palette.

About Author / Instructor / Photographer, Jim Zuckerman
In 1970, I decided to abort my intended career as a doctor in favor of photography and have never regretted it. Photography has enriched my life more than I can tell you. My career has taken me to over 60 countries, and I've seen and photographed wondrous things.
For 25 years, I shot a medium format camera, specifically the Mamiya RZ 67, for its superior quality. When I would lecture, Id project the large, glass mounted transparencies, and it was really an incredible experience to see the brilliant color saturation and resolution of these slides. However, I went digital in 2004 because the technology finally equaled or surpassed medium format. I now shoot the Canon 1Ds Mark II digital camera with a variety of lenses.
I am the author of 12 books on photography. My work is sold in 30 countries around the world, and my images have appeared on scores of magazine and book covers, calendars, posters, national ads, trade ads, brochures, and corporate promotions.
For many years I've led photography tours to exotic places. These include Papua New Guinea, Thailand, Burma, Greece, The Czech Republic and Slovakia, Spain, Morocco, and Peru.

Building markets and industries
IEC work helps companies gain the trust of stakeholders and investors
Many companies around the world participate actively in IEC standardization. IEC Global Visions has interviewed some of their CEOs and CTOs to find out why - despite economically challenging times - they see value in sending experts to work in the IEC.
We view IEC as the most global standards body that's available to us, for us to work through. And I think that particular aspect is so important because we can't have - really - country specific standards in the future. The cost of that is too high, we have to go to a much more global set of standards. Our involvement with IEC is extensive, we suspect over time it will be even larger because we think IEC will play an even larger role. And that's why we participate. Involvement in standards, I think, is one of the best investments a company can make. We'll all be powerfully influenced by standards in the future. It's already happening today but certainly it will be more so in the future.Thomas S. Gross, Chief Operating Officer, Eaton Corporation
CEOs and CTOs are notoriously busy people. They generally don't like to waste time on details and unimportant stuff. The fact that so many of them have accepted to be interviewed for IEC Global Visions is testimony to the importance they allocate to our work.
Small and big companies depend on the trust of consumers, investors, regulators and even insurers to build new or expand existing markets. IEC work helps them gain that trust. IEC International Standards contain key elements that allow companies to take important short-cuts; the kind that allows them to build consistently and verifiably better products.
Industry leaders tell us that because of their participation in the standard setting process, they are able to reduce production cost while improving innovation and design processes. When their standardization experts sit at the table where the rules for global trade are written, they are able to ensure that their company's technologies are taken into account and that competition doesn't have the only say.
Our active participation in the IEC allows us to build trust in our products among our worldwide customers and ultimately millions of end-consumers. Participating in IEC work has proven to be the most effective way for us to build our business and open new markets. I believe that any company that wants to sell and promote its goods and services to the global market has a strong interest in participating in IEC work. The IEC can help you promote your products to global customers, distributors and industry within the shortest time and at lesser cost. By participating in the IEC, we learn a lot from our international peers and this increased knowledge also helps us in our technology development.Dr Zida Yu, Senior Vice President and Corporate Technology Officer, Haier Group
When we talk to CEOs of new industries or of start-ups they tell us that their participation in the IEC makes it easier for them to convince investors or gain regulatory approvals. They find it allows them to avoid mistakes others have made before and helps them in the certification process.
The IEC is the preeminent standards body at the international level in the electrotechnical sphere and so there are many IEC standards that have been used historically in the grid and newer standards that are under development. By having international standards that are as uniform as possible around the world, it helps everyone. It reduces the costs for the manufacturers, which in turn reduces costs for electric utilities and ultimately reduces electricity rates for consumers.George W. Arnold, Chief Operating Officer, NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology)

I fully agree with the parent.
In this instance you seem vulnerable to a flip. They will lock you up with and exclusive "marketing period" then sell an exclusive license to Google (Youtube) or Vimeo in an afternoon, and go looking for their next victim. You could probably get a higher price if you took longer to negotiate, and not share a cut with them. If you refuse the deal they make, you will forever be blocked from selling to "their" buyer.
Some of my best friends are in this business. Some of them are ethical. They all love money more than technology.

Olvera : Michelin's recommendations
Beautifully located on top of a hill, Olvera is renowned for its olive oil. It is dominated by the massive silhouette of its castle keep and by the neo-Classical Iglesia de la Encarnación (Church of the Incarnation). The old quarter, a maze of steep alleyways lined with whitewashed houses, lies at the foot of these two monuments.

Thief Gold
Do not work.
Anyone able to help me fix this?
I am running the game on Windows 7 64 bit.
I have DDFix and just got it working.
My intro movie doesn't play, nor does my mission briefing.
You can try install that. It requires this codec I believe.
No, sorry. That didn't do anything.
Try uninstall DivX if you have it installed.
To summarize from mrparisz's post:
Go to Start menu, type cmd, press enter. Then type:
regsvr32.exe LGVID.AX
If it says Dllregisterserver successful cutscenes should be fixed
Okay, I got them working.
But anyway to improve the quality?
I can see the age, or maybe it just wasn't meant for 1920x1080.
It's slightly pixelated, but the parts that are black, I thought it was glitched at first, but it looks more like the pixels have been zoomed in.
You can see a few pink pixels patterned throughout.
I took a screenshot, and the screenshot is small in the folder and looks fine. but if I zoom in, I can see what I saw when the video played in game.
The videos are prerendered and were made for 640x480. Back when we had CRT monitors, the game would change the resolution to that for the videos/menus and then back to whatever you set for the gameplay.
LCD monitors only have their one native resolution and scale it up. Thief I/II really look best on a CRT (in terms of resolution and darks), unfortunately.

So, theres no way to edit/patch them to play properly on any LCD high res monitor?
I should be happy they are working, but disappointed they're not pretty.
Since theres nothing else that I can do (?) I may as well get on and play the game.
At this point, two options are to watch the videos manually with videolan or go to Youtube and watch them there (all of the mission briefings should be available). It takes away from some of the immersion, but it's worth watching the videos still.
I'll let you know if I come across a better solution.
Oh, there is this. Scroll to the bottom of the thread for the newest links. Someone reencoded the videos. These may play better.

Tried this method with a piece of round steak I had. Not the most tender of steaks but cheaper than tenderloin. Worked like a charm! The steak came out juicy and tender. Thanks!!!
Kathy Ackerman 2/9/2015
---Reply posted by DJ on 2/9/2015Fantastic! Yep, each of these little steps will help work on just about any cut. Every little bit helps! :)
This was a great technique to how to cook this. It was my first time making a tenderloin peice. Tote only thing, I followed your top to a t and my meat was raw. So I put it back in for another 10minutes and got it to be medium, so a little red in the middle and cooked around. It was soo good! Thank you for posting this as you were the best recipe/ technique I found out there.

Yay! I'm glad you enjoyed it, Shelley! Typically the little bits are called the "fond", but ... essence works for me! I'm surprised you didn't try the Father's Steak. I have a specific recipe just for father's day. Something to look forward to, next year! ;)
Good, good, GOOD!! Thank you so much! Simple is best for me. :) My hubby & I loved these tenderloin steaks. We are chicken & fish people & only eat beef on rare occasions. This one was Father's Day! I added mushroom slices & marsala wine to the juices in the pan (forgot what you call it - I have a friend who calls it 'essence!') Anyway, it was so yummy & flavorful, Wow!
Shelley 6/16/2014
Thank you for the kind words, Carole! I'm glad you got some great steaks out of me! :)
I found your site last night, and I had two beautiful tenderloins sitting in my fridge waiting for me to figure out how to cook them nice(for a change). I followed your directions with two exceptions: I let them sit in the oven for 10 minutes, as my husband and I like our steaks medium, and I didn't have any wine, so I just threw the mushrooms in, some garlic, thyme, basil, salt, pepper, and got them nicely browned, then added a bit of beef stock, reduced it a bit, then added some cream, and reduced it. YUM!!! Thank you so much! My husband could actually eat a steak again, and not chew it for 1/2 hour. We are grateful to you.
Carol 4/12/2014
Glad to hear it, Unknown! A good steak, simply seasoned and properly cooked ... is absolutely delicious! No need for marinades, brines, pounding, etc. Thanks for the kind words!
I followed your directions for cooking the steaks and presented it to my family. They were amazed at how good it was. Thank you for your tips on cooking a delicious steak.
unknown 1/21/2014
Hi Dee, I believe everyone has the CAPACITY to enjoy their steak done properly ... if they'll just open their eyes to it! I kid, of course. What you say is true. If you want a well done steak with its juice(s) left in tact, it's better to go low and slow. In fact, the lower and slower, the better. There are whole businesses surrounding this idea, where not only is the meat more juicy, but because it's done low and slow, less water evaporates, less fat melts out, etc. As a result, the meat is technically "larger and heavier", because it retains that moisture. As a result, they can get more steaks from a piece of meat, than those that do it fast. Those few extra steaks add up to a tidy little profit, over the years ... Ultimately, I personally side with the customer. If the customer wants it well done, they get it well done (however, I reserve the right to poke some fun at them ... I can't help it ... it's in my training ... *wink*) I still hope something in here was useful to you. Thanks! :)
Not everyone likes his/her meat under done. I like my meat cooked well - all the way through, and no, I do not wind up with dry, horrible, tough steak. If it is seared and then cooked over low heat, the meat will be juicy, succulent and well done!!
Dee 9/30/2013

Spatio for Facebook is an alternative client for the worlwide largest social network
There's a fact here. Facebook app for Android isn't perfect. Taking into account the catches of the official Facebook app, some developers feel that they can do better, at least, in some regards. Spatio is one of those young, alternative Facebook clients that has something to offer: simplicity and smoothness.
If you are highly-recurrent Facebook user, I recommend you to give this a go, since it's going to make you save time by reducing those long loading. Don't be scared: the app is really easy to use. It features two basic streams: news (which is your timeline) and profile which is your personal dashboard. Swipe left/right to switch between streams and up/down to scroll them. It's quite obvious what you can find on your timeline. On your profile dashboard, you can access your wall posts, your photo albums, friends list, pages and profile. There's a button for "messages" covered with a "coming soon" that leaves clear that this feature isn't available yet. I guess that would be DM on Facebook and I don't really understand why it isn't available. However, it's early times (version 1.0), and some patience won't hurt us, right?
■ 2 Holo themes (light and dark)
■ support for multiple Facebook accounts
■ quick access to your news feed, with nice photo previews
■ dashboard view with links to your wall, profile, photos, messages, groups, friends and pages
■ post statuses and photos to all your accounts or pages
■ offline support (write posts while offline and they will automatically be sent when you have an Internet connection)
■ view friends' wall, photos and pages they like
■ share the posts you like
■ find friends and pages
■ filter the news feed by muting keywords or senders
■ support for posting on Twitter
■ ... and more!
Note that we're showing ads in the application, on the main screen.
It's currently the only way we can further support the development of the app.
We don't have a paid version, because Google doesn't allow this yet in our country. But we hear you and we'll try to find a solution.
Spatio is young, so it may not yet have all the features you need.
We're doing our best to add more in the future versions.
Let us know in the comments what features would you like to see in the app.

The official Facebook client is one of the main reasons of draining your battery because it's a heavy application that takes a huge portion of your ram as it keeps running in the background. This amazing app on the other hand is very lightweight and takes much less resources without affecting your Facebook experience or controlling the posts you see as the official application does. Superb
Runs smooth. Very classy.
It's mind blowing fast... Just add an ad-free version. If there is no Play Store support in your country... maybe Paypal?
Things are so much more fluid. And the utilization of space is what I like. An all round great app. Hope the devs find a way to get this an ad-free treatment as well. Those look butt-ugly on an otherwise excellent/minimalistic design
I love this app. Please make an ad free version. Then 5 stars. Edit... still looking for paid version. can't seem to go back further than 2 days.
I l love this app, but not enough to look at the ads at the bottom of my newsfeed. Please consider a paid version. I will gladly pay!

This means...
- Spiritual Enlightenment, I think, is the awareness beyond just the self, but a closeness to wisdom, and a relationship with the Divine, gaining knowledge, that leads to growth and new abilities that bless your world, and others! It creates peace of mind, and strength, and a light that gives insight in all circumstances. It leads us on, directs our paths, and challenges us to develop our sense of wellbeing and know better our individual mission here... This is what "spiritual enlightenment" means to me!
- —Guest liz
What does spiritual enlightenment mean?
- What does spiritual enlightment mean to me? To see beyond the physical, to drop one's burdens, to lighten one's load, an understanding of the higher self and how we can work with the higher self to gain more understanding of our selves and others.
- —Guest heather
True Self
- My Spiritual Enlightenment has been through meditation. No it is not physical feelings. Actually the body slumbers as the spirit connects to other spirits. We are Spirit first... and physical human beings second. Spiritual Enlightenment isn't like a born again feeling where you run around in the name of the "Lord" bringing attention to yourself. Spiritual Enlightenment is where you finally wake up that you are connected to the "All" everything and everyone and communicate with those people and things as you would treat yourself. I am glad for my enlightenment, my growth, I always suspected there was more to life than me. Now it is great to KNOW there definatly is the "All." The ever constant current of energy. To those who may be confused, watch an older movie called "Powder" then maybe you'll get it. And meditate and pray every day from the heart, with depth. You are not alone. ~Blessed Be
- —CapriAlDeity
- Spiritual enlightenment for me means being at peace with yourself and others. It means having the confidence to make choices, knowing that whatever happens, YOU CAN HANDLE IT and that you will learn from the choices you make, and so will everyone else.
- —cassie0780
Means something different for everyone
- For those who seek you shall find, knock and the door will be opened. The flesh will seek the things of the flesh and the spirit will seek the the things of the spirit. There is a physical and spiritual body within us all, when twain becomes as one this is enlightenment. When you realize the omnipotence of the creator, the aeon of aeons, the spirit in which all spirits ascend and will descend back to. This can only happen when you still oneself. Become open to recieve and you will give. Only the individual can do it for themself, no one can do it for you. They can only point the direction in which to go. Some get it over time, some get it right away, and most never get it at all. Pray, Meditate, Think, these are the beginning, it is the prayer of no praying, the meditation on nothing, the thought of no thought, go back to the beginning. I am the beginning and the end.
- —Guest guru muda
Peace in the I AM State of Mind
- A sense of peace pervades, throughout every single cell of your body and a sense of knowing your purpose; To love and be loved. Rare moments when you are simultaneously outside of yourself, while wholly connected to your inner spirit. The observer and the observed, connected to every living organism. AWARENESS.
- —KellBell4111
- To me spiritual enlightenment only happens after many years of emotional release. Using breathing techniques is by far the most efficent way to advance our conscious and therefore become enlightened Another name for thls tecnique is "Rebirthing" and in my opinion should be taught in all schools, hospitals prisons and to members of parliment. This process is Gods gift to the world and is the miracle that everyone is looking for.
- —Guest Pauline McNab
Undifferentiated Consciousness
- "Wouldn't it be wild if we all woke up one day and realized all we'd really been doing all this time was looking in a mirror?" ---- Enlightenment is pure, undifferentiated, self-shinning consciousness. It is that state of conscious human being wherein the division of subject and object, which characterize ordinary consciousness, are overcome. Among those who have realized it, no doubts about it can arise. It is the it is the infinite richness of spiritual being and who we are.
- —JKBowman
Spiritual Enlightment...
- is about silence sacrifices that you made that causes happiness around you. Not because of the wrath of God that you fear, it is about selflessness and end endless love that you wanted to share.
- —Guest wildwitty
- To be enlightened means, as a result of spiritual practice or through contact with someone who has done such practice, to radiate a palpable spirit energy which can be felt by those about the Enlightened One and whose effect and character are wholly positive. Those who come into contact with an Enlightened person are also and equally Enlightened.
- —Guest C
Becoming Aware
- The title says it all. We are born with the knowing of Divine Connection. Enlightenment like all else of Source is simple. Remember who you are, from whence you came and where you return. It is all about the LOVE.
- —Guest Rev.Frederick
willing to Learn
- A good way to describe enlightenment that I've heard is, when you are willing to take in new information and start questioning what you think the world is and who you think you are instead of just pushing off new information in favor of old superstitions and premonitions that you have formed over the years within the stream of belief systems that you call an identity. So, in short, being able to question your beliefs and simply want to learn what/who you really are from your experiences in the moment instead of just matching patterns from your past.
- —Guest Nate Plum
Spiritual Enlightenment
- The Hindu scriptures speak of "neti, neti" which means "not that, not that." From this perspective one can never consciously capture enlightenment. Nor could it be explained in words. It could only be felt, for whatever it is worth. Hence a great deal of humility is warranted.
- —Guest Rekha Vinjamuri
Spiritual Enlightment
- I love this topic! How I describe it for myself, is a 'constant gentle nagging' that lingers in the backdrop and surfaces every now and then. What that was was a gift to 'sense' 'feel' 'hear' things that others around me didn't. For example, I was attending a class on learning how to protect myself from 'energies'. The instructor had the ability to lower or raise the vibration in the room. I remember when she said she was raising the vibration, I had to literally hold my hands on my lap to not have them cover my ears from the very loud ringing of beautiful bells, tibetan bowl sounds and chimes. After the class I approached her to say I loved the class but found the 'CD' playing very loud when she raised the room's vibration. She smiled at me and said there was no CD playing. I was flabbergasted! What? It was beautiful, loud music... you didn't hear it. Since that time, I decided to just let myself be who I am. This to me is being spiritually enlightened - being myself!
- —Marlene.Checknita
- When you go beyond the body-mind mechanism and merge into the all-pervading consciousness realizing your true and essential nature, you are enlightened. When your individuality/ego dissolves into the ocean of consciousness, when you become the vastness yourself, when you become God yourself, when you realize that you were sitting in the body-mind cage due to your past conditionings/karmic impressions and that you were actually infinity caught up in finity, that is enlightenment. When you realize that you in the form of the Ki or universal life force were activating the whole creation, when the whole cosmos starts floating in your vast expanse, when you become bliss, truth & consciousness yourself, that is enlightenment. When you realize that you are the unmoving hub at the centre and the moving creation revolves around you, when you realize that you permeate every atom in this bipolar creation and yet transcend it, you are enlightened.
- —Guest Ravindra Joshi

The New York Giants will host the Atlanta Falcons in the first round of the 2012 NFL Playoffs. Technically this could be considered the second game of the playoffs for the Giants, considering they had to beat Dallas last week to make the playoffs.
Other 2012 NFL Playoff Predictions
AFC Playoffs Bengals vs. Texans
NFC Playoffs Giants vs. Falcons
NFC Playoffs: Lions vs. Saints
AFC Playoffs: Steelers vs. BroncosThe NFL Playoff odds openedwith the Giants as three point favorites and that number has stayed firm although 60 percent of the betting public money is on the home team. It's doubtful that the
number will move off this key number. The line of three indicates that this game is even, with three points being the customary number given out for home field advantage.
Both of these teams have had their fair share of problems throughout the year. The Giants had to scramble to even make the playoffs. The Falcons made the playoffs, but have struggled against playoff teams to include getting hammered against the Saints in a pivotal game. That revealed a weakness that both of these teams have; defending the pass.
With equal weaknesses it will be interesting to see what the difference in this game turns out to be. It could be the fact that the Falcons are comfortable playing on the road, especially in New York. The road team is 8-0 against the spread in the last eight meetings and that includes a 5-0 run by the Falcons in the Big Apple.
The Giants are off a very good offensive output and that often hurts them in the following game. The Giants are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games after scoring more than 30 points in their previous game and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a win of more than 14 points.
The Giants will look to apply pressure with a pass rush against Matt Ryan. Ryan has received great protection this year and the Falcons have allowed just 26 sacks this year. This will allow Ryan to stand upright in the pocket and pick a apart the Giants defense.
NFL Playoff Predictions: Atlanta Falcons +3

Should recruiters use social media for background checks?
A recruiter is trying to fill a job requisition and thinks she has found the perfect candidate. The recruiter is ready to make the job offer but decides to check some social media sites as a further background check on the applicant. On Facebook the candidate has posted that he only plans to stay in the geographic area for a year, and will then be moving on to another location. Should the recruiter contact the candidate and confront him? Should the applicant be removed from contention? Or should the recruiter move forward with the hire?
This was a real-life situation raised at the IDGA HR for Defense Summit yesterday. One…Read More

Central Intelligence Agency: Recruiting the next generation of spies via Facebook
This February 2009 article I found online the other day, published by US News & World Report, poses an interesting question:
"Should the country's secret spy agency (CIA) be encouraging potential hires to publicize their interest in the intelligence field?
The article provides an answer to this question: "Apparently, it's not a concern."
This answer does not surprise me. As you may be aware, we've been leading numerous TAP classes for various government agencies and military bases and the reality is that many government agencies, not just CIA and NSA, are using social media for candidate sourcing and recruitment.

Digital Detective Work: Survey Shows Most Employers Search Online for Information About Potential Creative Hires
A polished resume and portfolio aren't the only tools professionals need to land their next job. A new survey shows a sterling digital presence is important, too.
Important note: We want to point out that this recent survey was specifically done for the advertising and marketing industry, which is — we realize — not the security cleared community. That said, the trend is clear: employers from all industries and professions are actively going online to learn more about you the job seeker.
In this specific study, nearly three-quarters (72 percent) of hiring managers interviewed said they are likely to search for information about prospective hires online. AnotherRead More

4th Grade Teachers
Karen Tenney
Karen is thrilled to be teaching another year of fourth grade at BFA. This will be Karen's sixth year teaching fourth grade. Karen earned her master's degree in Elementary Education from the University of Phoenix in 2009 and received a bachelor's degree in Art with an emphasis in Graphic Design from Utah State University.
Karen has two children, a sophomore at Thunderridge High School and an eighth grader at Ranch View Middle School. Karen grew up in Littleton and feels lucky to have a large extended family close by (including several family members who attend BFA). Karen enjoys traveling, attending her children's sporting events, and reading books by the pool. She describes herself as the ultimate soccer mom, and some of her favorite things include Coke Zero from Sonic, the beach, pedicures, flip-flops, chocolate, and spending time with her kids. Karen looks forward to meeting more of the wonderful BFA families and to an amazing school year.
Angie Van Wyk
Angie is very excited to be teaching fourth grade at Ben Franklin Academy. Angie went to CU Boulder (go Buffs) and has a Masters Degree in Elementary Education from the University of Phoenix. This will be her 9th year teaching.
Angie grew up in Littleton and is lucky to have a large extended family living close by. She has been married to her high school sweetheart, Trevor, for 17 years. They have three boys, one in 2nd, 4th and 7th, all at BFA. She is excited to be teaching at the same school as her boys.
With having three young boys any free time is usually on a baseball field or basketball court. Angie loves spending time with her family and friends. She also enjoys watching movies, playing tennis, reading a good book, and getting pedicures! Angie is excited to meet her class and share her enthusiasm for learning. PLAY BALL.
Cheryl is excited to join Ben Franklin Academy this year. Entering her ninth year of teaching, Cheryl has an undergraduate in Interior Design from Kansas State University and a masters in Elementary Education from the University of Phoenix.
Cheryl is a Kansas girl at heart, but loves the beauty of the scenery and people in Colorado. She lives in Highlands Ranch with her daughter Jordan, a sophomore at TRHS and a houseful of furry friends. Her daughter Taylor, who also plans on being a teacher, is beginning her second year as a student at Arizona State University. And apparently Cheryl just can't seem to get enough of teaching because she is also a driver's education teacher and tutor in her spare time.
Cheryl is an innovative teacher who believes strongly in the value of an education and in using technology to teach and relate to children in the ever-changing environment they are growing up in. She believes in one-on-one relationships and encourages students to pursue the things they love.
Cheryl looks forward to meeting all the new students and their families and turning all of them into soccer and Broncos fans.
Kelli Boyd
Kelli is very excited to be apart of Ben Franklin Academy's team. This marks her 10th year of teaching 4th grade. Kelli has her Master's Degree through the University of Phoenix, and her Bachelor's Degree in Child Adolescence and Family Studies from California State University, Bakersfield. She comes to us with 6 years of experience teaching in a Colorado charter school, teaching Core Knowledge and Saxon math.
Kelli loves running (despite the two knee surgeries in the past year), playing basketball, painting, and camping. In her free time, she enjoys spending time watching sports with her husband and playing board games with her 4 children.
Although starting later in the year, Kelli believes that this will be excellent experience. She is looking forward to working with a cohesive and welcoming team, and getting to know parents and students.

I have to be honest. At first I called a repair person, but it was Sunday so he couldn't come till the following week. Then my incredibly intelligent, industrious, and internet-savvy wife found your website. We saw that others had had the same problem. The part we needed was right there.... voila! 2 days later I had the part in hand. Not being the most handy of handymen, I followed the directions that others who had the same problem had posted. Yep, it was that simple -- And a heck of a lot cheaper than a repair person. Your website was very valuable, and I definitely will refer it to others looking for a part for a home repair job.

there are limits on the amount of information that people can hold in short-term memory, short-term memory is enhanced when people are able to chunk information into familiar patterns (Miller, 1956). Chess masters perceive chunks of meaningful information, which affects their memory for what they see. Chess masters are able to chunk together several chess pieces in a configuration that is governed by some strategic component of the game. Lacking a hierarchical, highly organized structure for the domain, novices cannot use this chunking strategy. It is noteworthy that people do not have to be world-class experts to benefit from their abilities to encode meaningful chunks of information: 10- and 11-year-olds who are experienced in chess are able to remember more chess pieces than college students who are not chess players. In contrast, when the college students were presented with other stimuli, such as strings of numbers, they were able to remember more (Chi, 1978; Schneider et al, 1993); see Figure 2.3.
Skills similar to those of master chess players have been demonstrated for experts in other domains, including electronic circuitry (Egan and Schwartz, 1979), radiology (Lesgold, 1988), and computer programming (Ehrlich and Soloway, 1984). In each case, expertise in a domain helps people develop a sensitivity to patterns of meaningful information that are not available to novices. For example, electronics technicians were able to reproduce large portions of complex circuit diagrams after only a few seconds of viewing; novices could not. The expert circuit technicians chunked several individual circuit elements (e.g., resistors and capacitors) that performed the function of an amplifier. By remembering the structure and function of a typical amplifier, experts were able to recall the arrangement of many of the individual circuit elements comprising the "amplifier chunk."
Mathematics experts are also able to quickly recognize patterns of information, such as particular problem types that involve specific classes of mathematical solutions (Hinsley et al., 1977; Robinson and Hayes, 1978). For example, physicists recognize problems of river currents and problems of headwinds and tailwinds in airplanes as involving similar mathematical principles, such as relative velocities. The expert knowledge that underlies the ability to recognize problem types has been characterized as involving the development of organized conceptual structures, or schemas, that guide how problems are represented and understood (e.g., Glaser and Chi, 1988).
Expert teachers, too, have been shown to have schemas similar to those found in chess and mathematics. Expert and novice teachers were shown a videotaped classroom lesson (Sabers et al., 1991). The experimental set-up involved three screens that showed simultaneous events occurring throughout the classroom (the left, center, and right). During part of the session, the expert and novice teachers were asked to talk aloud about what they were seeing. Later, they were asked questions about classroom events. Overall,

|An essential role in germline development for a P-granule associated novel protein in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans and RNAi in the ubiquitous parasitic nematode Ascaris suum
|Gao, Ge, 1974-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|The germline RNA helicases (GLHs) are constitutive components of P granules and important for fertility in C. elegans. Discovered as a GLH-1 partner, the P-granule associated novel protein (PAN-1) is important both in larval development and for germline development. We focused our studies on characterizing the germline function of PAN-1 and found it co-localized with the P-granule components PGL-1 and GLH-1 in the adult germline, but not during embryogenesis. In addition, when PAN-1 was knocked down only in germline by a somatic RNAi defect strain rrf-1, it resulted in reducing or eliminating GLH-1 protein levels, depending on the dsRNA concentration used for the RNAi effect. Because PAN-1 contains 13 leucine rich repeats that are often found in the F-box protein in C. elegans and the homologue to C. elegans F-box protein Fog-2, as well as the F-box conserved motif at the N-terminal domain, it is possibile that PAN-1 works as an F-box protein involved in regulating GLH-1 protein level, directly or non-directly. Since the CSN-5 was also found as a GLH-1 binding partner that protects GLH-1 from degradation, whether they work in the same pathway is yet to be studied. Ascaris infections are the most prevalent human parasite nematode infections. There are concerns as to the current treatment of using anthelmintic drugs due to the drug resistance and the efficiency in killing the exuberant Ascaris eggs. As RNAi was discovered as an exciting technology, it has the great therapeutic potential due to its specificity, potency and diversity. To investigate if RNAi could be used to cause sterility in Ascaris worms, we divided our task to two steps: first of all, in searching the potential dsRNAs that could be used in the RNAi study in Ascaris, we used C. elegans as a model to test different Ascaris dsRNAs that can cause either embryonic lethal or sterile phenotype in C. elegans. Then, these dsRNAs that have been successfully tested in the cross-species RNAi led us to test RNAi using Ascaris worms. However, although we tried various different means of dsRNAs delivery to Ascaris adults or the embryos, we have yet to succeed to observe any developmental defect.

Gulf Oil Spill

Mon July 12, 2010
Oil Spill Commission Co-Chairmen Outline Meeting Objectives
By Eileen Fleming
New Orleans, La. – The commission has been given six months to determine why the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded April 20th, killing 11 men on board, how effective the response has been to the oil spill that followed, and how such as disaster can be prevented. Democratic co-chairman Graham says he disagrees with critics who say the commission hasn't enough drilling experts.
"Our job is not to pass judgment on offshore drilling as a matter of policy. It is to pass judgment on what is necessary in order for offshore drilling to be conducted as in a manner that will be appropriate to the needs of the entire region to optimum safety and concern for the environment."
Reilly was in charge of the EPA for the first President Bush, and was on the job when the Exxon Valdez tanker crashed in 1989. He says BP's response in the Gulf looks familiar.
"It's skimmers, booms and dispersants. And the technology of response has not evolved anything like the technology of offshore oil and gas drilling at very deep levels. That's one of the very serious concerns I take into this."
The commission will hear from officials in the region, as well as the public. People can register to speak starting at 7 a.m. at the Hilton Riverside.
For WWNO, I'm Eileen Fleming

New Classical architecture
New Classical architecture is a contemporary movement in architecture, that continues the practice of classical, historicist and traditional architecture. The construction of such styles never ceased during the twentieth century, even as modernist and other post-classical styles became more dominant.
Since New Classical is not a homogeneous architectural style and can appear in various forms, contemporary classical buildings might be also described with the terms Traditionalism, Neo-Historism (or Historicism/Revivalism), or simply Neoclassical Architecture as the most common continuation of a specific historical style.[1] Some theorists also perceive it as a part of the Postmodern or New Urbanist movements, although these rather contributed to a general enthusiasm for new classical architecture.
Contemporary buildings that continue the language of early modern movements, such as Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Streamline Moderne and Expressionism, may also be described as New Classical.

Roots in Europe[edit]
At the beginning of the 20th century, historicism and Jugendstil were still dominant styles in Germany. The Austrian architect Adolf Loos criticized his time's architecture as too "grandiloquent" and "opulent", and longed for a complete abandonment of architectural ornaments in his 1910 essay Ornament and Crime.[2] Along with the British Arts and Crafts movement, a major clash between "modernist" and "traditionalist" architectural visions loomed. As early as the first major modernist movements like Werkbund and Bauhaus gained momentum in Germany, the desire to continue and develop classical styles sprouted.[3] From 1904 until around 1955 the Heimatschutz style prospered in Germany, which focusses on vernacular traditions and can be roughly translated to cultural protection style. Examples of this early new classical style are the Hamburg Museum, the Prinzipalmarkt in Münster and the market square of Freudenstadt. The 1922-1931 Böttcherstrasse in Bremen is an expressionist approach towards regional Brick Gothic architecture.
In the late 1960s and early 1970s the architect Raymond Erith continued to design classical houses in England despite the Modernist Movement. Quinlan Terry, a New Classical Architect who continues to practice with his son Francis Terry, was an employee, later a partner and now the successor of the late Raymond Erith. In the late 1970s several young architects in Europe began challenging modernist proposals in architecture and planning. To broadcast them, Leon Krier and Maurice Culot founded the Archives d'Architecture Moderne in Brussels and began publishing texts and counterprojects to modernist proposals in architecture and planning.[4] Krier's work and that of others was introduced to America through Andreas Papadakis' editorship of London-based "Architectural Design" and "Academy Editions".[5] In Britain it received a boost from the sponsorship of Charles, Prince of Wales, especially with The Prince's Foundation for Building Community.[6]
In the United States[edit]
In the 1930s, and continuing until the 1980s, primarily in the southern region of the United States, but also elsewhere, there continued a demand for traditional and classical designed houses and small commercial buildings that were satisfied by a group of architects that maintained a small practice, and were devoted to classical design despite the influences of Modernism. These architects include Edward Vason Jones (1909-1980), Philip T. Shutze (1890-1982), James Means (1904-1979), Lewis Edmund Crook Jr. (1898-1967), Henry Sprott Long (1915- ), A. Hays Town (1903–2005) and John F. Staub (1892-1981), Allan Greenberg, John Blatteau,[8] John Barrington Bayley
In these years postmodern architecture developed a critique of modernist Architecture. Among them were certain influential Post Modernist architects such as Charles Moore, Robert Venturi[9] and Michael Graves who used classical elements as ironic motifs in order to criticize modernism's sterility. A broad spectrum of more than two dozen architects, theorists, and historians presented other alternatives to modernism.[10] Among them were several serious New Classical architects who saw classicism as a legitimate mode of architectural expression, several of whom would later become Driehaus Prize Laureates, including some such as Thomas Beeby and Robert A.M. Stern, who practice both in post modern as well as classical modes.
Thomas Gordon Smith, the 1979 Rome Prize laureate from the American Academy in Rome, was a devotee of Charles Moore. In 1988 Smith Published "Classical Architecture - Rule and Invention" and in 1989 was appointed to be chair of the University of Notre Dame School of Architecture.[11] Smith and colleague Duncan Stroik transformed the program into the only architecture school entirely dedicated to classical architecture. Others joining the faculty had come from Colin Rowe's program at Cornell and Jaquelin Robertson's at University of Virginia. Several architects used their offices to nurture young architects in classicism, among them Allan Greenberg. Michael Lykoudis left Greenberg to join Notre Dame's faculty in 1991 and, in 2004, become its Dean.
Today other programs exist which teach in part New Classical Architecture at the University of Miami, Judson University, Andrews University and beginning in 2013,[12] University of Colorado Denver.
Alongside the academic and scholarly development of the new classicism as a reaction to Modernist hegemony in formal architectural academia, a populist and professional manifestation of contemporary and new classicism has existed and continues to develop. The 1963 demolition of McKim, Meade and White's Pennsylvania Railroad Station in New York City provoked the formation of Classical America and its regional chapters, led by Henry Hope Reed, Jr..[13] Classical America advocated the appreciation of classically inspired buildings and for the practice of contemporary classical and traditional design by teaching architects to draw the classical orders, hosting walking tours, educational events, conferences and publishing The Classical America Series in Art and Architecture.[14] Its members and proponents carried on the tradition of classicist and traditional architectural design throughout the 1960s and 1970s.
Also through the mid-twentieth century, interior decoration and design offices maintained the practice of traditional and classical design in interior decoration. Most notably, the office of Parish-Hadley fostered the development of an architectural department in the mid-1980s whose members, with others, ultimately formed the Institute for the Study of Classical Architecture in the early 1990s. This new formation attracted proponents and patrons of traditional and classical architectural design, historic preservation and the components of the construction industry geared toward restoration and the creation of new historicist and classically inspired work. Among the individuals from the Parish-Hadley office were Richard Cameron, Gil Schafer, Donald Rattner, Mark Ferguson, Oscar Shamamian and Bunny Williams - and among those from the publishing and construction industry were (Acanthus Press ?) Clem Labine, Kevin and Roy Zeluck, Michael Rielly, Jeff Davis, and Jean Wiart.
The Institute of Classical Architecture and Art currently supports and is supported by regional chapters across the United States, almost all of which host awards programs [15] which recognize significant accomplishments in new classical and traditional design and construction. The ICAA publishes The Classicist,[16] a peer-reviewed journal exclusively dedicated to the theory and practice of contemporary classicism in architecture, urbanism, and the allied arts. The ICAA offers continuing educational programming to architectural professionals and the general public [17] and is host to the Beaux Arts Atelier, a one-year intensive program in the study of design, architecture, and art following the method of the École des Beaux-Arts.[18] It also awards the Rieger Graham Prize for architecture and the Alma Schapiro Prize for fine artists.
Philosophy of New Classical Architecture[edit]
Fundamental tenets of the New Classicism is that it is not limited to neoclassical architecture and that "classical" is not a style in itself, but a way of elevating the art of building to the art of architecture.[19] A classical building uses imitation to express its tectonic truth, which is not the same as the facts of its construction, and finds its beauty not in originality and style but in the handling of the traditional forms that have always been its vehicles. Classical buildings also always account for the differences between the public and the private realms in addressing the urban and rural conditions where they are built.
New classical architects also emphasize the awareness of sustainability, the aim is to create long-lasting, well-crafted buildings of great quality, with an efficient use of natural resources.[20]
Driehaus Prize for New Classical Architecture[edit]
In 2003, Chicago philanthropist Richard H. Driehaus established[21] a prize in architecture to be given to an architect "whose work embodies the principles of classical and traditional architecture and urbanism in society, and creates a positive, long lasting impact." Awarded by the University of Notre Dame School of Architecture, the Driehaus Architecture Prize is seen as the alternative to the merely modernist Pritzker Prize.
The Driehaus Prize is given in conjunction with the Reed Award, for an individual working outside the practice of architecture who has supported the cultivation of the traditional city, its architecture and art through writing, planning or promotion.[22]
Other high-profiled classical architecture awards are the US-American Palladio Award,[23] the Edmund N. Bacon Prize,[24] and the Rieger Graham Prize[25] of the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art (ICAA) for architecture graduates.
The following architects were awarded the Driehaus Prize[26] since 2003:

- Grand Central Academy of Art by the Institute of Classical Architecture and Art (ICAA) in New York City, New York
- University of Notre Dame School of Architecture in Notre Dame, Indiana
- Beaux-Arts Academy in Salt Lake City, Utah[46]
Organisations in New Classical architecture[edit]
Various organisations are engaging to revive the general awareness of classical architecture qualities, provide education and donate to related causes. Many of these have a national or regional focus - and might appear in the form of citizens' groups, that work on a townscape-friendly classical building culture in and around historical town centers.
Examples of built new classical structures.
- The structure plan for Thimphu, Bhutan, follows Principles of Intelligent Urbanism, which share underlying axioms with New Urbanism and New Classical Architecture.
- The Qianmen Street leading to the Zhengyangmen Gate in Beijing is a recent development to implement traditional Chinese architecture.

They're not so miserable now; PREVIEW.
DESPITE the death of their manager and the studio burning down, Doves still made a debut album in Lost Souls which was a critical and commercial success.
Not surprisingly, the band also found themselves labelled as Morrissey-style miseries.
But Jez Williams, one third of the three-way democracy that defines Doves, felt that the "unhappy Northerners" label was inappropriate.
It meant that people were not listening or looking carefully enough. It had been the same story with The Smiths.
But there can be no such accusations made about the band's follow-up album, Last Broadcast.
It's a powerful, complex offering which reflects the band's roots in Hacienda era Manchester.
Frontman Jimi Goodwin said: "How can we not be informed by our past? Growing up in the Hacienda? We don't do 4/4 beats any more, but we took that with us production wise."
The result is an album which bristles with fresh ideas.
There Goes The Fear -the first single to be released from the album - is a pulsating charge of a song. It echoes with the reminiscence of New Order in an unlikely combination with Latin percussion. It's music as a positive force and reflects the aspirations of many Mancunian teenagers.
Jimi added: "Manchester has always had the same escape routes, music and football. We're no good at football, but when we went to the Hacienda we realised music was something we could do."
"There was an atmosphere of pure joy," agrees Jez. "And that's an attitude that's stayed with us."
The leap between the two albums reflects their need to express that joy musically.
Andy Williams has described it as "northern soul meets New Order meets The White Stripes" and it certainly makes myriad references across many musical genres. There are traces of The Smiths, Spiritualized, My Bloody Valentine and, of course, of the Hacienda.
The result is a celebratory cocktail, which chimes with a free, open spirit.
Jez added: "All I know is that we wanted to make this one sound as exciting as possible.
"We're not burying so many things like we did on Lost Souls, it's the most optimistic thing we've ever written. I knew every song had to be brilliant and I think we've achieved that.
"I think people will finally see what Doves are all about."
Doves are now touring as headliners, having had the unenviable task of opening for Travis on their recent tour.
So what can people expect of Doves live?
Jimi Goodwin offers this taster: "We just board a tune and then ride with it."
Journey with Doves on Wednesday at the Barrowlands in Glasgow.

I have always been a fan of it since 1990 nothing other then Angel has been unique as this in the designer fragrance market.
Sweet fruity over deep patchouli and tobacco.
So, today I finally got the 75ml Joop!
I'd ordered a week or so ago.
I ordered it without ever having sniffed
it, simply because I like my frags sticky
and sweet, and almost every single BNer
use the words 'sickly sweet' when talking
about this.
And boy oh boy, I wasn't disapointed.
I absolutely love this juice.
So nauseatingly sweet I can't help but
dig it.
And it last forever - litterally!
2 sprays on top of each other
lasted 12 hours on me, before it
even began to evapurat. Excellent!
Joop! was never popular, or even sold,
in Denmark, or Scandinavia for that matter
(correct me if I'm wrong), so the smell
was unfamiliar to me.
It's not recognizable here, like for example
Le Mâle, so when wearing this, I will come
of as somewhat exotic, as nobody will know it!
I'm in love!
Any other Joop! fans outthere?!
I have always been a fan of it since 1990 nothing other then Angel has been unique as this in the designer fragrance market.
Sweet fruity over deep patchouli and tobacco.
I wore some Joop Rococo to work today. Not sure if it's bottle worthy, but I think it's certainly something to sample.
I wanna try out the Rococo too,
the name is fierce, as it refer to
my favorite historical period..!
In December 2009 I found myself thinking about buying a 30ml bottle of Joop! I tried it several times, whenever I did I realized that it was not the kind of blend I felt comfortable with: I found the top notes way too sweet, and even though I enjoy sillage and longevity, I always thought Joop!'s was excessive.
Well, here I am, Joop! is finally in my wardrobe: the mid and basenotes are quite enjoyable.
Never had it until last year and have been reading the same disparaging remarks as you guys. Tell you the truth, I never smelled it on anyone else so it arrived totally unknown and now I can say that it's one I'll always have at least a little of around. Of course, all one needs is just a little bit of it since it's about as potent as anything ever unleashed on the cologne wearing public.
I applaud Joop! for its sheer audacity. I enjoy the notes, but man its strong! I've had a tester for years and there's still enough to scent an army.
Well this thread proves it: there's more than one opinion on this forum.
That girl, that bottle, that mattress and me.
If the price is right, sometimes I'll buy a scent that I know I don't like, but which I know is controversial or really innovative. I did that recently with Joop. I saw a 1 oz. for like 8 bucks and snagged it, even though I thought the stuff smelled like white powdered carpet cleaner with a basenote of melted plastic. I'm still pulling it out every once in a while to get a whiff of it, because I'm determined to figure out what it is about this scent that make some people go ga-ga over it. On a positive note, I don't hate it as much as I did initially. Also, I applaud its uniqueness, especially for its time.
I really like Joop! Homme, a victim of its own success. I don't have a bottle at the moment but, someday, i know will make a spontaneous purchase of it to add to the collection. A time-capsule gift for the grand-kids perhaps.......
ointments and perfume delight the heart....
I love you, Joop! Homme! I love you for being so sweet that Le Male looks like a glass of Campari in comparison. I love you for being reviled by the perfumistascenti™ and yet selling bucketloads every year. I love you for being the standard by which all men's fragrances are measured...in the opposite direction. I love you for being one of the cheapest frags on my local drugstore's shelf. I love you for spawning Joop! Go, which I will shout from the rooftops to all and sundry that I found perfectly pleasant, thank you very much, with a great citrus opening and a soothing drydown. Mostly, I love you for not being a follower, but a leader...or rather, a wallflower. Keep doing your own thing, Joop! Homme. And whatever you do, don't take advice from Stetson.
Boooo! *pitches a cauliflower* Je detest Joop! Homme!
Rococco is another story. This was I had a full bottle of at one time... before it vanished from shelves.
Definitively not a fan...
When we were dating back in 1999, my wife bought me 75 ml of Joop! Homme (in a gift set including 75 ml of aftershave balm - great!). I am so happy to own this one! She knew I had wanted it, and I think she likes it almost as much as I do. Actually, I love this juice. It's one of my favorites for my personal enjoyment. It is difficult to wear this one for work, as it really can scream. I can go a bit heavier on my days off, so that's usually when I wear it. Man, is this stuff powerful! I personally consider this one a powerhouse fragrance. But with Joop! Homme, too much of a good thing is NOT good.
It's interesting that while I love Joop! Homme, I absolutely loathe A*Men. Does anyone else feel this way?

ointments and perfume delight the heart....
the drydown has some redeeming coumarin and floral notes, but it is not worth enduring the rest of the fragrance.
I have a west african customer who wears this, and sometimes i will comment on it, as the smell is obvious, and he says "Oh yes, I wore it 3 days ago"
Hmmm..It's funny...it's soo darn distinctive yet I do not fancy it...Must be it's exorbitantly treacle procedures...But yes, I give it thumbs up for distinguished constituents, though for personal interests...there's just something about it...a sort of vanilla/musk and lavender accord to which I don't like......Oh well...But Yeah...Not a fan of Joop PH and Angel.....But I do love Fleur Du Male !

It's OK, however far from being one of my favorites. But I do think it is better than the majority of watered-down sh*t being sold. Ain't nothing light, ethereal or transparent about Joop Homme - thankfully.

Not gonna get any here. A friend of mine has this. Wanted me to try it. I found it nauseating.
I love Joop! Joop! Homme, but I'm loving A*men as well. Joop! Homme is a sillage monster, longevity is in terms of days! One of my favourite clubbing or dating in winter scents. Girls love it too, period.
Joop! Homme makes me feel sick to my stomach, so i'm afraid I can only show you 'hatred' for this fragrance...
First cousin to Jovan Musk for Men, in terms of "yes, kinda ok, but no, really can't do it." I like it in the way I like the movie "Heaven's Gate" -- excessive, kind of a train wreck, but you have to look, at least, because it's pretty in a weird, different way.
Count me as one of the fans. However, the last bottle I bought was back in 97.

I'm a fan, too. I had never tried it until late last year, having been heavily influenced by the negative reviews. But as a collector I figured that it was something that I needed to own, so I bought a bottle, cheaply I might add, without even sniffing it.
As it turned out, I love the way it smells! I don't find it as treacly sweet or as tenacious as others do. It is sweet and strong and long lasting, but it wasn't anything close to being the outright monster that I'd expected.
Good stuff!
Hmm, I get the sensation, that I got ript off here.
You all say it's cheap as trash, but here in DK it's
I found it at a Danish frag-webshop for DKR 370
for the 75ml, thats $68!!! Not that cheap!
What's the retail price in your country?!

Can't remember for sure what I paid, but think that it was equivalent to $30-$35 for 100ml.
When I think of Joop! I think of freshmen/sophomore years of highschool in '91-92. I appreciated it then but am not sure if i can now.
When I was in Berlin recently, I smelled this on a number of guys. Also, Knize 10 seemed to be popular too. Go figure. But back to Joop Homme, I must say it was one of the first scents I bought and it's quite a revelation in masculine perfumery for a borderline feminine scent this to be so popular amongst the masses. May smell nicer on a lady, but I break it out once in while. EdP strength.

It lasts 5 days if you don't have a shower - very hand if you go on a five day hike in the mountains.
If you want a less strong version, get a bottle of Joop Homme Aftershave Splash. It only lasts two days.
But be extremely careful, it tends to sting like hell and make one's face go all red and splotchy, if actually used it after a shave. Just apply it like a cologne.
P.S. Joop Homme is currently heavily discounted in lots of shops in Australia - A$35 (US$32) for a 125ml bottle.
I come across 5 or 6 people every day wearing it strongly. Or I come across 5 or 6 very strong sillages during the day in my office building, with nobody in sight.

I like Joop, and so does famous American filmmaker Ed Powers, according to some actresses
I have to be in the mood for Joop Homme, but when I am I think it smells really good.
This is one of the only colognes I really don't want to overspray though.
I think that JH would be more widely appreciated if it wasn't used with such a heavy hand. This really is a 1-spray frag.
this one is not bad, but it's probably the scent I wear the least in my wardrobe
In Poland you can find a 125 ml bottle at around $4o. Polish online shops, I mean.
PS Joop! Homme is a unique creation and, as far as I know, it has never been reformulated.
Kudos Wolfgang Joop!
Joop is very much an evening scent..
