Hello all! I know it has been way too long since my last blog post so I have a lot to catch you up on. There has been a fair amount of excitement since my last post so I'll stick to the high points.
In May I traveled to Cincinnati with my parents and my swim coach to try to qualify as a disabled athlete. The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) sanctioned a swim meet at the University of Cincinnati where they had evaluators from the International Olympic Committee that would have me do several tests on things like strength and mobility to determine if I am "disabled enough" to compete in IPC events. I wanted to try this path because I have trouble competing with my peers because my surgery left my right leg much weaker than my left. If I qualify and continue to get faster, I would really like to swim in the 2016 Summer Paralympic Games in Brazil. The evaluation was on a Friday and the swim meet was on Saturday and Sunday. No matter what the results of my evaluation, I could still compete in the meet. As it turns out, I would have needed 15 deficit points on my evaluation to be minimally qualified as a disabled athlete. My evaluation resulted in 13 points, two points short of being classified as disabled. My dad and my coach looked a little surprised when the evaluator told us the news. I on the other hand, am OK with this. Because the score was so close, I can be re-evaluated prior to another meet later this year. The swim meet was very cool. There were Paralympians there and in one of my races (200 Breaststroke), a woman two lanes over set an IPC world record. It was very exciting. I worked really hard to get ready for this meet and I swam my best times in nearly every event that I swam in. It was an amazing event and it was great to see so many people overcome their disability and do what they love.
This was the end of the school year, but not just any school year. This was the end of my 8th grade year. That's right, next year I will be attending high school. Our Graduation was something anxiously awaited, but also dreaded. Many of my class mates couldn't wait for the school year to be over, but with the end of the year came the final moments that we could be together as a class. The graduation ceremony however, was wonderful. It was full of laughter, smiles, and great dancing; but mostly tears. I will even admit that I cried a few times, but we all had a great time. The after party was pretty funny too. Some of us are going to the same high school (Saint John Vianni) others are going their separate ways. But one thing is for sure, that we are a family and once a Mother Teresa hawk, always a hawk.
Monday, January 21, along with celebrating the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and inauguration day, marks the first day of National Teen Cancer awareness. While I don't want to lessen the importance of these two great events, I don't want to lose sight of the importance of Teen Cancer awareness. A bill introduced by Senators Robert Menendez of New Jersey and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania was passed declaring this week National Teen Cancer Awareness Week. Senator Toomey kicked this off with an event at the Children's Hospital Of Philadelphia last Friday.
Dr. Altschuler, the CEO of CHOP opened the event and introduced Senator Toomey who gave a very nice talk about the unique needs and challenges associated with teenage cancer patients. Then we heard from Alex Rotzal, who also writes a blog for Philly.com called "Living with the New Normal." Alex went through treatment at the end of being a teenager, sort of the opposite end from me; I went through treatment just before becoming a teenager. Alex did a great job sharing his unique perspective of going through treatment in a pediatric hospital and being one of the older patients in the program at CHOP but getting the same awesome care that only CHOP can provide. Mrs. Liz Scott, co-founder of Alex's Lemonade Stand. also gave a great talk. Alex's Lemonade Stand, an awesome pediatric Cancer Research foundation that has been very good to CHOP, was founded in honor of her daughter Alex who died when she was 8 years old. Last Friday would have been Alex's 17th birthday and that made this day even more special for all of us.
Teens, who really aren't adults and really aren't children, fall into a strange place and sometimes don't get enough attention. Teens represent a really big part of the cancer patient population. The treatment protocols are mostly developed for adults and adopted for children. Teens kind of fall somewhere in the middle. Teens are going through all kinds of changes, physically, emotionally and socially. Although I was 11 when I was going through treatment, I'm 13 now and all kinds of crazy things are happening in and around me. This would have been really tough if I was going through treatment now. With the introduction of Teen Cancer Awareness Week, maybe we can help focus some much needed research and awareness on teenage cancer patient needs.
Many things have happened since my last update. I have been training hard at swim practice and gone to different doctors' appointments at CHOP. I had a bit of a scare a few weeks ago when I was having back pain for several weeks. My parents told Dr. Dormans about this at my check up and he ordered a full body bone scan. I remember getting one of those when I was first diagnosed so I was pretty scared. A few days later, I had my bone scan and all is clear. My doctors think this is more due to training hard and my back does feel better now that I am training harder on a regular basis. You might think that a bone scan is kind of extreme to get to the bottom of back pain but after having Ewings, you can't be too careful.
I have entered the 8th grade and will be graduating Middle School this year. My Make-A-Wish is getting closer to being granted. My wish was to have a public service announcement, with Mark Herzlich of the New York Giants, about raising awareness for pediatric cancer. We went over the first draft of the script with representatives from the Make-A-Wish chapter for New Jersey and the Script has been "Rachel-approved." It will now be sent to Mark and the Giants for their approval.
As many of you know, I am a competitive swimmer. Training has been getting pretty hard over the past few weeks and I can definitely feel it afterwards. I have been introduced to new events this year such as the 100 butterfly, 200 butterfly, and the 200 backstroke (which I will be swimming in a few weeks). Dr. Dormans has now allowed me to swim Breaststroke. This has been such great news to me because now I can swim all four strokes.
I'm back ... from my first Ronald McDonald camp experience. I had a blast when I was out in the Poconos for RMC 2012. The 3-hour bus ride alone was fun. We talked for about an hour and a half and the rest of the way, I listened to music.
When we first pulled onto the campgrounds, I could tell I was going to have a lot of fun. The bus drove into a woodsy forest. and I felt right at home. When the buses stopped, there where so many counselors with names of different cabins on them. The cabin I was assigned to was "mango". The girls in my cabin are all very nice and funny. We had some funny conversations and fun times in the cabin.
I was a senior camper, which means that I was old enough to choose the activities I would do for the next week. The activities I chose were going to the lake, fishing, beaded jewelry, and campfire cooking. I made lots of new friends in each of my activities. The food was great!
Since I last had a blog update, many things have happened. I went to Children's Hospital of Phiadelphia (CHOP) for a check-up with Dr. Dormans, had my last day of 7th grade, started summer swimming and golf lessons, and went to Puerto Rico for the first time.
Later on this summer I'm going to a camp at one of my counties vocational high schools - The Marine Academy of Science and Technology (M.A.S.T.) - and I'm going to the Ronald McDonald camp in the Poconos. I couldn't go to camp last year because I had just gotten my brace off after surgery, and I was learning to walk with my new endo-prosthesis.
On May 14th, I went to CHOP for a Check-up with Dr. Dormans. He wanted me to get a scanogram to check that my legs were both growing at the same rate. If the leg that I had my surgery on stopped growing, Dr. Dormans would have to go in to my left leg and break the growth plate so that my legs would be as close to the same length as possible. This is something you have to keep an eye on when you have the kind of limb salvage surgery that I had.
Today it is one year since my limb salvage surgery, pretty much the scariest day of my life. It's also one year now that I'm cancer free.
When I went in to surgery last year, I was afraid that I wouldn't wake up and if I did, my right leg would be gone.
As much as Dr. Dormans and Dr. Balamuth told me that my leg wasn't going to be cut off, I was afraid. After my surgery, Dr. Dormans took my parents in a small room outside the surgical waiting room and told them that my surgery went beautifully. Exactly as he and his team had planned. My parents both cried a bit (that's what they told me), but still listened to every detail.
This was a great Easter holiday this year.
On Monday after Easter, I had to go to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) for my three-month scans, blood work and a follow up visit with my oncologist.
My parents and I decided to stay in Philadelphia Sunday night so we could get an early start at CHOP and not have to drive in from the shore Monday morning. After mass on Easter Sunday, my parents and I went to breakfast and then headed to Philadelphia.
I'm starting to realize what my new normal is after going through treatment and having my surgery.
Having a prosthetic femur has its limits and they are the kind of limits that get in the way of being 12.
A few days ago, I was at a party with a bunch of my friends. There was a trampoline in the yard and my friends just couldn't help themselves from jumping on it and having a great time. I don't blame them. if I could have been in there with them I would have.

Minority group is a group of people who differ in some ways from the principal group in a society. Members of minority groups may differ from the principal group, also called the dominant group, in speech, appearance, cultural practices, or other ways. The dominant group traditionally has greater political and economic power than the minority group. In many cases, the dominant group discriminates against (treats unfairly) the minority group. When groups have fewer economic, political, and social opportunities than the dominant group, they are often called subordinate groups, disadvantaged groups, or politically disempowered groups. Most societies consist of one or more dominant groups and one or more minority or subordinate groups.
The term minority often means less than half of the whole. When applied to people, however, the term is often inaccurate or misleading. Some "minority" groups actually have more members than the dominant group. For example, African Americans form a majority of the population in some cities and in some rural areas in the United States. Such groups are distinctive not because of their numbers, but because they differ from the dominant group in a number of socially significant ways.
A racial minority group can be identified chiefly by one or more distinctive physical characteristics that are shared by members of the group. These may include skin color, type of hair, body structure, or shape of the head, nose, or lips. Most anthropologists today reject the idea that the human population can be broken into biologically defined races. However, socially defined racial classifications persist in many societies. Nonwhite racial groups, traditionally considered minority groups in the United States, are often called people of color.
An ethnic minority group can be identified by cultural differences in language, accent, religion, dress, or manner of living. For instance, the Amish people of the United States and Canada are an ethnic group. Many Amish pursue a way of life that includes dressing in plain styles that are different from the clothing worn by most Americans and Canadians. Many groups exhibit both racial and ethnic characteristics.
Many social scientists refer to minority and subordinate groups as identity groups. Identity groups are groups of people who share a sense of community or belonging and who share collective political goals. In addition to racial and ethnic groups, identity groups include women, sexual minorities, religious groups, and other groups whose members lead alternative lifestyles or carry nonmainstream beliefs.
The creation of minority groups
Minority groups often develop when people leave their homeland and settle in another society. People may choose to cross national borders and begin life in a new land. This process is called immigration. Many groups of immigrants have become subordinate groups in their new land. Some subordinate groups develop when a dominant group moves in and takes over another group's territory. When these groups meet, the dominant group may use its greater economic and military power or other strength to control the other group.
The enclosing of a minority or subordinate group within the territory of a dominant group is called incorporation. The importing of black Africans to North and South America as slaves from the 1500's to the 1800's was an example of forced incorporation. Incorporation also occurs when one nation or group annexes territory. Annexation has played an especially important role in the history of some European nations. For example, Estonians and certain other large groups became minorities after czarist Russia annexed their lands.
Some subordinate groups have resulted from colonialism. In colonialism, one nation sends some of its members to gain control over another people's land. This land, which becomes a colony, is used as a source of wealth for the settlers' homeland. The colony's original inhabitants, who have less economic and military power than the settlers, become a politically disempowered group. Many European countries, including Belgium, France, Great Britain (now called the United Kingdom), Portugal, and Spain, established large colonial empires between the 1400's and the 1900's.
After establishing control over a group, a dominant group may try to drive the people from their territory. In some cases, a dominant group may attempt complete destruction of a subordinate group. Genocide is a form of mass murder in which one organized group-usually a government-systematically kills members of another group. For example, Adolf Hitler, the ruler of Nazi Germany, preached that Germans belonged to the "superior Aryan race," and that Jews and other non-Aryans were inferior. Hitler's beliefs resulted in the genocide of millions of Jews and others during the 1930's and 1940's.
Relationships between groups
Different groups within a society usually develop certain patterns in dealing with each other. These patterns include racial or ethnic stratification, assimilation, and internal colonialism. The dominant group usually controls how these patterns develop.
Racial or ethnic stratification occurs when the dominant group divides the society into classes along racial and cultural lines. In many cases, racial and ethnic minority groups are given low social and economic positions. For example, many Irish, Italian, and African immigrants to the United States were assigned such positions by British Americans and other groups that had settled earlier. Racial or ethnic stratification typically leads to segregation, discrimination, and poverty.
Assimilation occurs when a dominant group accepts a minority or subordinate group into society. Two types of assimilation may take place, often at different speeds. In the process of structural assimilation, a group is partially or wholly admitted into the social practices and economic organizations of the dominant group. In the process of cultural assimilation, a group adopts much of the culture of the dominant group and may lose many of the cultural characteristics that had set it apart. For example, Scandinavian Americans gave up much of their ethnic heritage while undergoing cultural assimilation. Jews, on the other hand, underwent structural assimilation while preserving much of their own culture.
Internal colonialism occurs when subordinate groups achieve political and economic equality slowly or not at all. This pattern typically lasts for many years and in some cases for centuries. In the Western world, many nonwhite groups have experienced a period of slavery or forced labor followed by many years of discrimination. In the United States, blacks, other non-European minorities, and women have suffered centuries of political, economic, and educational discrimination.
Effects of subordinate status
Members of subordinate groups generally recognize that they belong to a less-favored group, and this realization affects their behavior. A sense of isolation and common suffering is a strong social glue that binds them together. Common cultural and physical traits also help unify the group. Identification with the group may continue even after individual members are assimilated into the dominant group. For instance, a person of Jewish descent may no longer practice the traditional Jewish religion and may become a member of the dominant group. Yet the person may continue to think of himself or herself primarily as a Jew.
Members of politically disempowered groups respond to domination in various ways. For example, some passively adopt the culture of the dominant group. Others try to achieve territorial separation. In the late 1800's, for example, some Jews reacting to discrimination in Europe began a movement called Zionism to establish a Jewish nation in Palestine. This movement resulted in the establishment of Israel. Some members of politically disempowered groups use various means to resist and challenge domination. They challenge acts of discrimination in court, refuse to obey unfair laws, conduct protests, and, in some cases, resort to rioting and other forms of violence.
Racial and ethnic groups in the United States
The United States has become the home of many racial and ethnic groups. These groups include Hispanic Americans, African Americans, Jews, European immigrants, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, and American Indians.
Hispanic Americans, also called Latinos, form the largest ethnic minority group in the United States. Hispanic Americans are primarily of Cuban, Mexican, and Puerto Rican ancestry. The United States has more than 35 million Hispanics, most of whom are of Mexican descent.
Mexicans became incorporated into the United States when the nation acquired what are now large parts of the West and Southwest from Mexico. Since the Mexican War (1846-1848), many Mexicans have migrated to the United States.
Puerto Ricans became incorporated into the United States in 1898 as a result of the Spanish-American War (1898). Puerto Ricans have migrated to the U.S. mainland in large numbers since World War II (1939-1945). Many have settled in New York City.
Cubans began to migrate to the United States in large numbers during the 1960's, after Cuba came under Communist control. Most have settled in Florida.
African Americans form the second largest racial or ethnic group in the United States. There are about 35 million African Americans in the United States. Most African Americans are descendants of Africans who were brought to America to work as slaves beginning in the 1500's. Most African Americans remained in slavery until after the American Civil War (1861-1865). But even as they gradually gained legal freedom, most of them could not assimilate into American life because of widespread discrimination.
In the 1960's and 1970's, many African Americans protested their exclusion from society and sought to end discrimination through the civil rights movement. During this same period, some African Americans organized black nationalist or black power movements. These movements called for separation and the strengthening of black group-identity and political organization.
Jews have often fled to the United States from Europe and other areas to avoid persecution, only to meet continued discrimination. Today, there are about 6 million Jews in the United States. Jews have attained a significant degree of assimilation and social acceptance. At the same time, many have retained their religious beliefs and many traditional practices.
Other European immigrants who came to the United States often became minority groups. Most of these minorities were eventually assimilated into American society. Before the 1880's, most Europeans who came to the United States were from northern and western Europe. Beginning in the 1880's, most came from southern and eastern Europe. Most European immigrants have come from Austria-Hungary, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Russia, and the United Kingdom.
Asian Americans include Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Korean, and Vietnamese groups, as well as such south Asian groups as Indians and Pakistanis. More than 10 million Asians live in the United States today.
Chinese immigrants arrived in the United States during the 1840's. Most settled in California and other western states. Some live in city neighborhoods called Chinatowns. Chinese immigrants have often been discriminated against. In 1882, the U.S. Congress passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, which prohibited Chinese immigration. Restrictions against Chinese immigration were not lifted until 1965.
Japanese immigrants have often suffered the same injustices as the Chinese. During World War II, many Japanese Americans suffered violations of their constitutional rights. They were forced to leave their homes and businesses and to live in inland detention camps in several Western states.
Arab Americans trace their ancestry to the Arabic-speaking people of the Middle East, a region that spreads across southwestern Asia and northern Africa. Many Arab immigrants came to the United States to avoid violent conflicts or poor living conditions in the Middle East. However, Arab Americans in the United States have faced significant discrimination. About 3 million Arab Americans live in the United States today.
American Indians, or Native Americans, were the original inhabitants of the Americas. Their numbers have been greatly reduced as a result of centuries of European invasion and conquest. European settlers drove Indians from their homes and forced them to live on reservations. Most of the approximately 2 1/2 million Indians in the United States today live in urban areas.
Minority groups in other countries
European countries have often had minority nationality groups living within their boundaries. For example, before World War II, Germans lived in a part of Czechoslovakia called the Sudetenland. Religious minorities may also be found in many regions of the world. Today, Roman Catholics are a minority in Northern Ireland, and Muslims form a minority in India.
In South Africa, European settlers have discriminated against native Africans and other nonwhites, even though nonwhites make up most of the population. From 1948 to 1991, white South Africans followed a government policy of apartheid (separateness). Under apartheid, almost all nonwhites were legally segregated from whites and faced official discrimination in education, employment, and many other areas. Blacks were not allowed to vote in national elections until 1994. Since then, racial segregation and discrimination in South Africa have diminished slowly.
Many national minority groups lived in the Soviet Union. Under Soviet rule during World War II, some of these groups-the Volga Germans, Crimean Tatars, and Kalmuks-were expelled from their homelands, supposedly for disloyalty. Jews suffered discrimination under both czarist and Soviet rule. The Soviet Union broke apart in 1991. Many of its minority groups, including the Kazakhs, Moldovans, Ukrainians, and Uzbeks, formed independent nations. Today, ethnic tensions remain a threat to social stability in many of the former Soviet republics.

Aquino: My oath is to defend our sovereignty
More News from Kristine Angeli Sabillo
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – To defend our national territory and our sovereignty – that is the only option for the country when it comes to maritime disputes in the West Philippines, President Benigno Aquino III said Monday.
"I subscribed to this oath when I assumed office. I have to defend national territory and our sovereignty," Aquino said at the sidelines of the Philippine National Police Academy graduation in Cavite.
The President referred to Article 2, Section 7 of the Philippine Constitution, which states, "The state shall pursue an independent foreign policy and in its relations with other states, the paramount consideration shall be national sovereignty, territorial integrity, national interest, and the right to self-determination."
Aquino was replying to a question on whether China will push through with its threat that bilateral relations between the two countries will be affected if the Philippines over the filing of its legal memorandum before the International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea (ITLOS).
On Sunday, the Department of Foreign Affairs announced that the Philippines filed a 4,000-page memorial detailing the country's claims on parts of the West Philippine Sea.
"We are not here to challenge China, to provoke them into any action, but I do believe that they should recognize we have the right to defend our own interests," Aquino said.
He said he cannot impose on the Chinese government but that it should think of how things would be if roles were reversed.
"[Imagine] they are the smaller country; they are the less military capable; they have interests. Will they willingly just forego their interests here? I don't think so," Aquino said.

I frequently used to reach for Terre D'Hermes during the hotter months in socal, but since getting my bottle of L'Air du Desert Marocain, I want to try that out this summer.
Spring/Summer Wardrobe: vetiver extraordinaire, rose 31, terre d'hermes!
My favorite summer scent is Un Jardin Sur Le Nil (Hermes). I have gotten compliments from three female coworkers on that one. My second choice is Acqua di Gio (Armani). Men seem to like it. For the more adventurous, Chanel No. 5 Eau Premiere is excellent.
Creed Millésime Impérial

Bvlgari Aqua, Live Jazz, Terre d'Hermes, Mugler Cologne and Tom Ford for Men out of what I own (and thats my order of preference). I have a bottle of Issey on the way though that might knock Live Jazz from 2nd place.
Also, whoever said D&G pH during summer - maybe in cooler summers, but in 35 deg. C + here in Perth this would be unbearable!

"There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which can not fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance-that principle is contempt prior to investigation." HERBERT SPENCER
Azzaro Now is a decent choice. My friend just bought a 1.7 oz. bottle for $14.99 at Marshalls. It's really fruity and seems like it would be ideal for the warmer months. I have yet to try Terre d'Hermes in the warm months since I bought it during the fall. Horizon by Guy Laroche is a discontinued fragrance but is also one that pops up in my local Marshalls once in a while. My friend just bought another 1.7 oz. bottle for $5.99. Lacoste original can also be a good choice. I'm sure the Calvin Klein fragrances are decent summer wear as well.
My favourite 'summer only' scent is Vetiver hombre by Adolfo Dominguez.
Dior - Bois d'Argent
There are so many great light or uplifting summer fragrances. Too many to chose from and there will be new ones out too. These are some favorites:
Dry citrus & woods: Signoricci, Live Jazz, Bois d' Cedrat, or Diamonds for Men, Bigarade Concentree
Crisp summer gourmands like: Kenzoair, Cereus No. 11, Ice Men, Eau de Iles
Light woods / incense: D Squared HE Wood, Kyoto, Wall St., Maestrale, Jubilation XXV
Light green/florals like: Angelique Sous la Pluie, Eau de Campagne, Scent One Hinoki, Tumbuktu, Bleeker St., 28 La Pausa, L'Homme de Coeur, Gendarme.
Summery vetiver: Sel d' Vetiver, Carlos Corinto Vetiver, Vetiveru, Vetiver pour Homme
The post was asking for what is the "BEST" summer scent and I guess I could narrow it to 3 bests: Sel d' Vetiver, Timbuktu, Jubilation XXV.

I will second (or third!) the following: Signoricci and Eau de Rochas pour Homme. I would like to add L' Artisan's The pour un ete and Balmain's Monsieur Balmain.
I will add Bond No. 9 Central Park.
Some great suggestions so far, I would add Acqua di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Tuscan Cypress. Beautiful for summer but not aquatic if one is that way averse.
Virgin Island Water - Creed
Acqua Di Parma Colonia Intensa
Burberry Summer for Men
Allure Homme Sport Cologne
Citrus Verbena Summer - L'Occitane
Aromatic Lime - Montale
To name a few.
Giving Life My All And Improving Every Day
Last summer my most-worn fragrances were:
Eau Sauvage
Chanel PM (1955)
Creed Millisime Imperial - some say it has a watermelon note, and others call it an aquatic. If it agrees with your skin, you will get compliments.
Montale Red Vetyver - I really think this one shines with heat. A calmer spicy scent and I got compliments when walking by two ladies, on separate occassions.
Tauer's L'Air du Desert Morocain - an all-year scent, something about the heat can seem to reactivate it after you think it is gone.
Montale Aromatic Limes - I think this one is more wearable than the Aoud Limes, at least it was for me. I dont disagree with Aromatic Limes being a great summer scent, but if the Auod is too strong, this one is a good alternative. Not like Green Irish Tweed by Creed, but then again, it has some similarity at times.
Acqua di Parma Colonia - I love this scent, and though it may peter out after 4 hours, it is very, very nice, very civilized, very wearable in summer.
Creed Selection Verte
Penhaligon's English Fern
I can not spend my summers without :
EAU D' HADRIEN ( both Edt and EdP ) - Annick Goutal
EAU DU SUD - Annick Goutal
L' EAU DES HESPERIDES - Diptyque
L' EAU DE NEROLI - Diptyque
EAU DE LIERRE - Diptyque
EAU LENTE - Diptyque
TERRE D' HERMES - Hermes
DIOR HOMME - Dior
EAU SAUVAGE - Dior
CARNAL FLOWER - F.Malle
VETIVER EXTRAORDINAIRE - F.Malle
ENCRE NOIRE - Lalique
PASSION BOISÉ - Frapin
KNIZE FOREST - Knize
At least these ones.......
Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."
Clarice Lispector ( 1920-1977) - Perfumes da Terra / Earth Perfumes
I hear a lot of good things about Aramis Bermuda Tonic, though I've never tried it. Mugler Cologne is the most versatile all around fragrance you can buy, perfect for summer. I really, really liked Paul Smith Story when I was in Jamaica this summer, the heat and humidity really brought out the vetiver and other green notes. Another recommendation I have to make is for an extremely cheap, extremely long lasting silage monster that I really like and believe is appropriate for summer...Perry Ellis Portfolio.
Don't Smell the Flowers,
They're an Evil Drug to Make You Lose Your Mind --- Dio
I am a fan of Clean, or Creed Silver Mountain.
If I ahd to narrow it down to absolute best: Creed Millesime Imperial
I don´t know all scents but for me till now Terre d´Hermes which is also good for winter but ideal for summer and declaration from cartier are my favorites.
"Wow, I've never smelled anything like that before."
No idea what the "best" is, but a few I like are:
Kenzo Power
Agua de Loewe
Verino Pour Homme
Hugh Parsons Blue
A few I want to try / buy are:
Miller Harris - Citron Citron
Miller Harris - Tangerine Vert
Hugh Parsons - 99 Regent Street
Hugh Parsons Yellow
Racine by MPG
My Top Six - Guerlain Vetiver, Santal Noble, Bois Du Portugal, Antaeus, GIT, Vetiver Extraordinaire
Creed's Green Valley and Imperial
Cool Water-Happy Summer (or any other version)
Allure Blanche
...and pretty much most of the other ones that have already been mentioned.
+1 on the Miller Harris Tangerine Vert. Surprisingly good lasting power on a citrus scent.
Creed - Virgin Island Water
Hermès - Un Jardin en Méditerranée
Dior - Higher
Clinique - Happy for Men
Hermès - Vetiver Tonka
Balmain - Monsieur Balmain (rarely tho. was my first cologne, like, ever! bought it when i was 11 after falling in love with the sample i got in Paris the year before :lol
Calvin Klein - ck One Summer (the orange gradient bottle)
YSL - Kouros Eau D'Ete (actually works all year around lol)
Day- Original Vetiver-Creed
Night-Virgin Island Water-Creed
A few years ago I would have said D&G Masculine, but in recent years I have not found anything that I like better than Acqua di Parma Colonia.
Concentre d'Orange Verte by Hermes.
Without a doubt, Miller Harris Tangerine Vert.
"Why not seize the pleasure at once?"
-- Jane Austen (Sun, and Mercury in Sagittarius)
Royal, where can I find Sunset Heat, not online that is, no one has it.
I sometimes see Sunset Heat at Marshall's/Ross/TJ Maxx and most discount perfume shops.
My addition to the thread is Eternity Summer (especially the 2008 and 2006 versions). It tends to smell chemical but damn I love it in the summer.
This thread has been up for a couple of days and got me thinking. Aside from what I personally wear, I think that Kenzo, as a house, pretty much has the summer scents covered. All of their frags have a summer quality, even the spicier ones feel fresh and clean to me.

What makes a scent good/bad for summer? Would SMN Acqua di Cuba be a good summer scent?

Czech & Speake Citrus Paradisi
Offsite Sales - Updated June7th
Vintage Dia, Vetiver Dry, Angel parfum, Opium parfum for Sale:
Interesting question, mrshackleford. I imagine it has a lot to do with one's environment. For me, the oppressive, drenching, soupy air of a Savannah summer has me wearing frags that simply feel light on my skin. Anything cloying or thick is just adding insult to injury in our kind of summer. There are some frags that come alive with a light sweat, and I'd guess that for folks with less humid summers, that might be an attraction. What do you think?
Support your local Leonberger rescue.

Covering SQL Azure Data Sync and Microsoft Sync Framework
SQL Azure Team Blog
Sync Framework Developer Center
JuneT - Idle Thoughts
Liam's Cloud Data Service Blog
I am extremely happy to announce the public preview of our new Data Sync Service for SQL Azure. For those of you who have been following this blog, you might recall our Project "Huron". In this project we talked about our vision of creating a Data Hub in the cloud to provide users with the ability to seamlessly share and collaborate on data regardless of the location and regardless of network connectivity. Back in November '09 we introduced SQL Azure Data Sync as the first part of this vision which was to take SQL Server data and extend that to the cloud and then take that data and share it with other SQL Server databases.
Now with the Data Sync Service we are extending on the "Huron" vision. With no code, you can configure your SQL Azure database to be synchronized with one or more SQL Azure databases in any of our Windows Azure data centers. By doing so, it provides you the ability to extend that data to the location closest to your end users. All the while our scheduled synchronization service moves changes back and forth between these databases ensuring that changes get propagated to each of the databases in the data center. In conjunction with SQL Azure Data Sync, this data can also be synchronized back on-premises.
I have a TechEd session this week where I will be demonstrating all of this as well as how we will be extending the capabilities of the sync framework for creating offline applications, specifically allowing Silverlight, Windows Phone 7 and even non-MSFT platforms to be used for the clients.
If you are interested in giving the Data Sync Service a try please go to http://sqlazurelabs.com and click on "SQL Azure Data Sync Service" and send us your registration code. Starting early next week we will start adding registered users to the service.
I am really looking forward to your feedback.
Liam Cavanagh
This may have it's place, but I'd just really like the ability to back up my SQL Azure database on a scheduled basis, and without putting all of the Data Sync Service change tracking junk in my db.
I'm a production customer on SQL Azure, but what I read from most blogs/posts is that others won't move to production on SQL Azure because of the limited abilities for backup/restore.
p.s. Would have really loved a warning on datasync.sqlazurelabs.com that you were going to change my database schema before it happened... and have a way to remove it.
Hi Chris,
First of all thanks for the feedback and my apologies for issues the added metadata may have caused to your system. Your comments have not been uncommon and a number of people have also asked for a less intrusive way of exchanging data. One example of a similar request is for a way to aggregate data efficiently into a SQL Azure database. It is scenarios like this that could be built in such a way that it would not need to make changes to your existing database and is something we are investigating in more detail.
As for you point about a warning, I agree that this is a really good idea and so we have now implemented this as a highlighted point in the introduction email we send when a user is approved. I will also add this as a note for a future service upgrade to warn the user of object creation before the Sync Group is actually created.
Finally for de-provisioning of these object, this is a feature we are planning on adding to our Sync Framework 2.1 release and should be something we will be able to easily add to the service as well. I have made note of this in the work item databases.
Once again, thanks for the feedback.
Hi Liam,
I have gone through your articles about data sync. Its cool and really useful, but still i stuck with few issues. The issues i face in using the data sync are
1. In future if i want to add one more table to the data sync will i be able to add it?
2. Can i do a data sync to existing database in sql azure? with 2.0 frame work it says the db already exist and i was not able to set up it so i was forced to go for new db.
In production enivronment if something goes wrong its not advisable to create a new db, i would appreciate if you can advise me on this.

Cutino, who would go on to lead the Bears to eight national crowns, wrote a thorough recap of his first NCAA championship team. Cal captured the 1973 title by defeating New Mexico, 8-1; UCLA, 4-2; and UC Irvine, 8-4, in the finals.
In the first game the Golden Bears looked pretty shaky, but still superior an outmanned New Mexico contingent. "Take it easy, play looser this next game." Cutino told the Bears afterwards. "You are trying too hard to make the perfect pass or shot. And remember it is us against them. We must play together."
The defense was together against UCLA, forcing three turnovers on the 45 second clock in the first quarter alone with an impressive man-to-man press.
Jon Svendsen gave the Bears a 1-0 lead over a minute into the game on a pass from Tom Belfanti, and Doug Healy stole the ball early in the second period and went all the way to score and put the Bears up 2-0.
Bruin Garth Bergeson then sandwiched a pair of goals around a 6-on-5 score by Walt Bricker from Doug Arth before another score by Bricker with 3:54 left in the game put Cal again up by two. The defense led by Svendsen and Arth with four steals each thwarted most UCLA threats.
"I can't pick out any one standout," assessed Cutino after the game. "This is one of the strengths of our team; everyone contributes, and this is the kind of water polo we want to play. In terms of the game situations, though, Doug Arth got several really big steals late in the game. Also Bricker gave us a big spark coming off the bench. He's been our most effective player coming off the bench."
The win in Friday evening's second round set up the third meeting of the year between California and UC Irvine. The previous two had each been for championships also. In the Irvine Invitational and the Northern California Invitational, the Bears prevailing 6-5 and 9-6.
Cutino elected to start the same six who opened the first two games – Peter Schnugg (whose nephew, Andrew Schnugg, is a member of the 2013 Cal squad), Svendsen, Arth, Belfanti, Healy, and Joe Bogen, along with Dean Crane in the cage – but things did not go nearly as smoothly in the finals Saturday night.
Healy was fouled inside the four-meter zone and Arth rammed in a penalty shot to give Cal a 1-0 lead, but Irvine ace Jim Kruse tied it up four minutes into the game. Pretty passing from Healy to Arth to Bricker got the Bears another goal, but Kruse managed to tie it again when Crane, after making a scrambling save, tossed the ball away to Irvine's Bret Bernard.
Then came a second quarter that very nearly proved fatal to Cal's chances. Belfanti picked up a deflected pass while the Bears were in a 6-on-5 situation. Miles Evans then added the lead on a pass from Arth in another Cal 6-on-5.
But, the Bears , usually very poised on defense, seemed to lose control and committed a rash of fouls that set up another UCI 6-on-5 which saw Bernard convert and cut the lead to 4-3. Even worse, Svendsen, Arth and Belfanti each had four fouls at the end of the first half.
They were all on the bench as Cal opened the third period with Schnugg, Healy, Bricker, Evans, Phil Cozens (whose son, Phil Cozens, Jr., is on the 2013 Cal squad), and Bogen, and UCI came out roaring. The Anteaters dominated the play early in the period, but Crane blocked a point-blank shot by Kruse, and a penalty shot by Kruse.
The Bears survived another 6-on-5 by UCI before an Evans to Jeff White to Evans passing exchange resulted in a very big goal. In the course of the quarter, Cozens, Healy, and Bogen fouled out, but Irvine went scoreless as replacements Randy Williams, Scott Nesbit (whose son, Graham, is on the 2013 Cal squad), Ed King and Jim Parker came in.
Svendsen, Arth and Belfanti came back in the fourth period, and Svendsen popped one in at 6:23 left, Bricker took a pass from Evans at 5:34, and a steal by Arth set up an ejection foul on UCI. Bricker tipped in a pass from Arth in the resulting 6-on-5 and the Bears coasted.
'The bench did it, the subs did it," yelled a jubilant Schnugg as he shook hands all around on the Cal side after the game. "Everybody was just great."
Cutino agreed: "Our depth really paid off, and the bench saved us. Holding UCI scoreless is a great job, and I can't say enough about the performance of Crane in the goal (eight saves).
It was a fitting reward and finale for co-captains Schnugg and White, who along with King and John Carlson are the only seniors on the squad. It also makes the two seasons of redshirting half the team in 1971 and 1972 while Cal was on probation worth the wait. In two attempts now at the NCAAs, Cal has a first and a second (1969).
"It's been a long time coming," reflected a wet and happy Cutino. "It's about time something good has happened for Cal Athletics."
"Postseason plans?" he concluded. "Well swimming season starts Monday,"
The annual Cal men's water polo alumni match is free and opened to the public. The Bears started the 2013 season 4-0 at last weekend's Triton Invitational in San Diego. No. 4-ranked Cal, led by senior team captain and first-team All-American Collin Smith, outscored its opponents, 66-24, in San Diego, defeating Redlands, 21-3; UC San Diego, 13-10; Loyola Marymount, 17-7 and UC Davis, 15-4.
Some potential members of the Alumni team that will play Saturday include Michael Sharf, the 2007 NCAA Tournament MVP, and Marin Balarin, last year's team captain and third-team All-American.

On the morning of Aug. 24, Jeffrey Johnson returned to his former place of work, Hazan Import Corp., and waited on the street outside the building. Johnson, who was wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase, blended into the crowd of people on the street who were rushing to work that morning. As one of Hazan Import's executives, Stephen Ercolino, approached the building, Johnson drew a pistol from his bag and gunned Ercolino down with no warning, making Ercolino a victim of workplace violence. Media reports suggest that Johnson and Ercolino had been involved in several confrontations, at least one of which became physical, and that Johnson held Ercolino responsible for his being laid off. Each of the men had also reportedly filed police reports claiming the other had threatened him.
Violence in the workplace is a serious security problem in the United States and elsewhere, although it is not nearly as widespread as the media coverage suggests. On average, there are around 500 workplace homicides per year in the United States, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In 2010, the latest year for which statistics are available, there were 518 workplace homicides, and only 12 percent were conducted by a co-worker or former co-worker. This means that while workplace violence incidents tend to get a lot of media attention -- even more so when an incident occurs near the Empire State Building, like the Johnson incident -- they are not common.
Still, while not all that common, incidents of workplace violence are serious. They are also, in most cases, preventable.
Threats or other indicators, like Johnson's previous confrontations with Ercolino, almost always precede a workplace homicide involving a co-worker. In workplace violence cases, it is very unusual for a person to just snap and go on a shooting rampage. Almost every case of workplace violence is planned, and the perpetrator intentionally targets a specific individual -- usually a supervisor, human resources manager or co-worker -- whom he believes is responsible for his plight. (We say "he" here because while women are sometimes involved in workplace violence, such incidents are predominately conducted by men.)

China's services sector grows faster in January, sustains recovery
February 4, 2013
BEIJING: China's services industries grew at the fastest pace since August as gains in retailing and construction aid government efforts to drive a recovery in the world's second-biggest economy. The non-manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index rose to 56.2 in January from 56.1 in December, the Beijing-based National Bureau of Statistics and China Federation of Logistics & Purchasing said in a statement on Sunday. A reading above 50 indicates expansion. The Shanghai Composite Index last week posted the biggest weekly gain since October 2011 on optimism that Communist Party leader Xi Jinping can sustain the nation's expansion and control the risk that inflation will surge in the second half.
Lenovo's protect and attack strategy helped it expand globally: Yang Yuanqing, Chairman and CEO, Lenovo Group

Shelley Singh , ET Bureau
Lenovo Group , the Chinese computer maker which has rapidly gained market share over the last three years on the back of a string of acquisitions around the world, is now aggressively eyeing the emerging markets, including India.

Remake, Remodel and Rebrand: Chinese firms need to raise their game to gain international recognition
October 2, 2011
Chen Jia
Every day, tens of thousands of Chinese products are exported to almost every corner of the globe. However, in the eyes of foreign consumers they all simply have the same label, " Made in China". So far, few Chinese brands have managed to leave a real imprint on the minds of Western consumers, prompting the nation's business owners to reconsider their international branding strategies. Last year, Lenovo Group, the biggest computer-maker in China, delayed launching a large-scale brand promotion campaign in the UK because of depressed sales of computers in the UK, a country where the company's brand awareness is lower than it would like.
Chinese cos like Lenovo, Haier, Gome Electronics find hard to find successors
August 24, 2011
Lenovo Group Ltd may not want to disclose its succession plans but at least it has one. There's a good reason for the secrecy: Revealing who is going to replace whom puts the group at a disadvantage because it will encourage competitors to recruit its best people. If history is an indicator, power or ownership transition is always difficult and most of the time, it will hurt. "Chairman Liu (Chuanzhi) and CEO Yang (Yuanqing) realized that Chinese companies struggle with succession planning.

My grown son and I followed your video exactly. However, we lacked the special tool for separating the lock washer for the roller wheels. So I used needle nose pliers to stretch the lock washer out of position. When reinstalling it, I used the pliers to position the lock washer over the axle and my son pushed it into position with his finger. When we installed the belt, to weave it through the drive and idle wheels, it was necessary to let the belt slide into the groove on the drum. Than it worked fine. When I moved the drum back into position, I was sure to get the belt well clear of the groove on the drum.My son checked the belt's position on the drive and idle wheels through the dryer's back door. The video was the perfect guide.

I have been presenting at a lot of writing conferences a lot in the past few weeks, and have recently presented at writers conferences in both South Carolina and Texas. Both were a lot of fun. I am a huge advocate of writers conferences, and I still believe they are a great opportunity to meet publishing pros, make writer friends for life, and get educated about the craft and business of writing. They are also excellent opportunities on learning how to find a literary agent, and how to build your author platform.
(See a large list of writers conferences.)
This event, held on a Hilton along the beach, is a pure joy to be included in. The faculty is large, and about a dozen agents are in attendance talking to writers. I attended in 2009 and ran into a few people I met two years ago. If you have an opportunity to attend the SCWW in the future, I highly recommend it.
This is a picture of literary agent Jessica Regel
and I at a dinner during the SC conference.
I Will Instruct At These Great Writing Events Soon:
- Oct. 24, 2014: Atlanta Writers Fall Conference (Atlanta, GA)
- Feb. 6, 2015: Kentucky Writing Conference (Louisville, KY)
- Feb. 7, 2015: Tennessee Writers Conference (Nashville, KY)
- Feb. 20, 2015: Portland Writing Workshop (Portland, OR)
- Feb. 21, 2015: Seattle Writers Workshop (Seattle, WA)
- March 27-28, 2015: Chesapeake Writing Conferences (Baltimore and DC)
- April 17-18, 2015: Carolina Writing Workshop Conferences (Charlotte, NC and Columbia, SC)
- May 15, 2015: Milwaukee Writers Conference (Milwaukee, WI)
- May 16, 2015: Chicago Writers Workshop (Chicago, IL)
- June 25-28, 2015: Jackson Hole Writers Conference (Jackson Hole, WY)
- July 31- Aug. 2, 2015: Writer's Digest Conference East (New York, NY)
- October 2015: Books by the Banks Book Festival (Cincinnati, OH)
This one-day event, held in Hurst TX (between Fort Worth and Dallas), was put on by the Trinity Writers Workshop and organizer Sharon Owen. The midsized group was very nice and very supportive of each other — just a great community of writers rooting for one another. It was wonderful to see.

Author(s): Graber, Kathleen
ISBN 10: 0691146098. See all ISBN's
Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
Chosen by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon to relaunch the prestigious Princeton Series of Contemporary Poets under his editorship, The Eternal City revives Princeton's tradition of publishing some of today's best poetry.
With an epigraph from Freud comparing the mind to a landscape in which all that ever was still persists, The Eternal City offers eloquent testimony to the struggle to make sense of the present through conversation with the past. Questioning what it means to possess and to be possessed by objects and technologies, Kathleen Graber's collection brings together the elevated and the quotidian to make neighbors of Marcus Aurelius, Klaus Kinski, Walter Benjamin, and Johnny Depp. Like Aeneas, who escapes Troy carrying his father on his back, the speaker of these intellectually and emotionally ambitious poems juggles the weight of private and public history as she is transformed from settled resident to pilgrim.
From The Eternal City:
Kathleen Graber
In three weeks I will be gone. Already my suitcase stands
overloaded at the door. I've packed, unpacked, & repacked it,
making it tell me again & again what it couldn't hold.
Some days it's easy to see the signifi cant insignificance
of everything, but today I wept all morning over the swollen,
optimistic heart of my mother's favorite newscaster,
which suddenly blew itself to stillness. I have tried for weeks
to predict the weather on the other side of the world: I don't want
to be wet or overheated. I've taken out The Complete Shakespeare
to make room for a slicker. And I've changed my mind
& put it back. Soon no one will know what I mean when I speak.
Last month, after graduation, a student stopped me just outside
the University gates despite a downpour. He wanted to tell me
that he loved best James Schuyler's poem for Auden.
So much to remember, he recited in the rain, as the shops
began to close their doors around us. I thought he would live
a long time. He did not. Then, a car loaded with his friends
pulled up honking & he hopped in. There was no chance to linger
& talk. Today I slipped into the bag between two shoes that book
which begins with a father digging--even though my father
was no farmer & planted ever only one myrtle late in his life
& sat in the yard all that summer watching it grow as he died,
a green tank of oxygen suspirating behind him. If the suitcase
were any larger, no one could lift it. I'm going away for a long time,
but it may not be forever. There are tragedies I haven't read.
Kyle, bundle up. You're right. It's hard to say simply what is true.

Brewers broadcasters buy fan beer after he loses foul ball
AUG 21, 2014 11:42p ET
A cold beer at a baseball game is one of life's greatest experiences. A cold beer at a baseball game also costs a little less than a monthly car payment, so it's basically like liquid gold when you're taking in the national pastime.
So if you were to lose a full beer at a baseball game, that would kind of suck.
On Tuesday, a Milwaukee Brewers fan found himself in that exact predicament while taking in the Brewers-Toronto Blue Jays game at Miller Park. A screaming foul ball came his way and the ball ended up smashing into the full beer. Not only was the beer gone, but the foul ball bounced right to another fan in a cruel twist of fate to an already crummy situation for the fan.
The Brewers' broadcast crew, knowing how bad of a situation this was for the fan, decided to lend a helping fan. In one of most Milwaukee things ever, the broadcast crew decided to buy guy the beer. Not only did he get a large, free beer, he also appeared to get a souvenir guess.
Call us crazy, but we're guessing that's some sort of Miller product in the glass.
Check it out in the video below:

This hotel from the Hilton family offers the chain's well-known luxury without diminishing the mellow charm of the surrounding area. It's about midway between St. Pete Beach and Clearwater Beach and the only place for miles that has a bar along the beachfront. The rooms aren't huge, but most offer stunning views of either the mangrove-lined Intracoastal Waterway or the Gulf of Mexico. Added bonuses in all rooms include a pair of soft robes and, yes, freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, a Doubletree hallmark. On Fridays when it's not chilly out, hula dancers give a family-friendly, sunset performance by tiki light. The hotel is near the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary and the Redington Pier.
