Sandia Laboratories Lore Videotaped in Knowledge Preservation Projectby Carmen Ward
Sandia National Laboratories began with the mission of nuclear weapon engineering; today we are also involved in maintaining the nuclear weapons stockpile and monitoring arms control and nuclear weapons proliferation. As with any business that is 47 years old we find that many unique skills and knowledge_our corporate memory_is walking out the door with retirees and individuals who move on to other work. Therefore two years ago we started The Knowledge Preservation Project. Our goal is to record on video tape the knowledge, ideas, and experience of key nuclear weapon design engineers and scientists. The project attempts to capture all aspects of perishable, undocumented, nuclear weapon design, testing, and manufacturing information. The nature of the material naturally requires that it be security classified: the interviews are not available to anyone outside the nuclear weapons complex.
During the course of an interview, we attempt to define the state of technology and the technical challenges at a point in time. We probe into how problems were solved, including what solutions were proposed and why one was selected over the others. We explore the reasons that various solutions failed and elicit suggestions for the future. Of the 60 interviews conducted to date, 10 have been with physicists, who were involved in nuclear weapons underground testing, shock wave physics, and materials and component development.
Collecting the video is only half of the project. We also needed a way to access and retrieve information from the tapes quickly and easily. For this purpose Jim Borders developed a process called Relevant Point of Access Video (RePAV). The video tape is digitized and compressed according to the MPEG-one standard. The audio track is transcribed to a text document and full-text indexed by an information management system. The audio text is linked to the digital video files in one-minute time code intervals. When someone queries the system, VHS quality video is displayed immediately on the user's PC and the key search words are spoken within one minute. The full potential of this system will emerge as it is integrated into a central knowledge base with hyper-links to reports, memos, engineering drawings, other video, data, computer codes, etc.

Primary and Secondary Education Minister Vishweshwara Hegde Kageri has called for drastic changes in the education system, with a stress on values, to check the incidents of sexual violence against women.
The present system of education was framed by the British to suit their employment needs, but it failed to teach students the important values that were integral to Indian culture, he said, blaming it for the ills of society today.
Mr. Kageri was speaking after inaugurating the three-day State-level 12th Pratibha Karanji cultural festival for high school students on the outskirts of Gulbarga on Tuesday. The Minister advised parents to identify and encourage the talent in their children, without forcing their own choices on their wards. "We should not make the mistake of making our children money-earning machines without imbibing values," he added. More than 2,000 students from 34 education districts participated in 25 individual and six group competitions at the festival. Animal Husbandry Minister Revu Naik Belamagi and Shashil G. Namoshi, MLC, spoke.

Asian markets mixed, Nikkei dips on profit-taking
popular .
HONG KONG—Asian markets began the week on a mixed note Monday, with the Nikkei sinking on profit-taking after breaking 11,000 in early trade, while a rally on Wall Street boosted a buying incentive.
The euro and dollar eased slightly against the yen after climbing in New York trade, while traders took heart from upbeat news from Europe, with indications that the troubled eurozone is slowly emerging from years of crisis.
Tokyo surged above the 11,000 mark for the first time since April 2010 in the morning as the yen extended its recent downward trend but profit-taking soon took hold and the index ended down 0.94 percent, or 102.34 points, at 10,824.31.
Seoul dipped 0.36 percent, or 6.98 points, to 1,939.71, while Hong Kong added 0.39 percent, or 91.45 points, to end at 23,671.88.
Shanghai surged 2.41 percent, or 55.21 points, to 2,346.51 after authorities said they would expand the number of securities for margin trading, boosting liquidity hopes.
Sydney and Kuala Lumpur were closed for public holidays.
On currency markets the dollar bought 90.81 yen in Asian trade, from 90.87 yen in New York late Friday, while the euro was at 122.10 yen from 122.28 yen. The euro also bought $1.3440 from $1.3457 in New York.
Apart from a short-lived rally last week, the yen has seen a continued downtrend since November, when as Japan's opposition leader Shinzo Abe promised to push for a more aggressive easing of monetary policy.
Abe won a general election last month on that promise and after becoming prime minister has pressured the central bank to follow his government's policy lead, a move that has been welcomed by markets.
Last week the Bank of Japan adopted a two-percent inflation target and set out plans for indefinite monetary easing.
The euro was also lifted by data Friday showing banks rushing to repay part of emergency funding totaling $1.3 trillion provided by the European Central Bank a year ago to get them through a credit crunch.
ECB chief Mario Draghi told the World Economic Forum in Davos that he saw a new-found tranquillity in financial markets and said "all the indices point to a substantial improvement of financial conditions."
A survey of investor confidence hit its highest level since the start of the eurozone debt crisis in 2010, while another study of business sentiment was at a seven-month high.
In the United States another set of strong corporate results Friday—particularly Procter and Gamble and Halliburton—sent the Dow and S&P 500 surging.
The Dow rose 0.51 percent to its best level since October 2007 and the S&P 500 climbed 0.54 percent to finish above 1,500 points for the first time since December 2007, while the Nasdaq added 0.62 percent.
The advances came despite data showing a surprise fall in US new home sales in December and a bigger-than-expected contraction in British economic growth.
Oil prices rose in Asia, with New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in March, gaining 20 cents to $96.08 a barrel in the afternoon and Brent North Sea crude for March up two cents to $113.30.
Gold was at $1,655.09 at 1055 GMT compared with $1,669.20 late Friday.
In other markets:
— Taipei added 0.55 percent, or 42.09 points, to 7,714.67.
Leading integrated circuits design house MediaTek gained 0.93 percent at Tw$325.0 while Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. was 0.30 percent higher at Tw$99.3.

BornWest Harnham near Salisbury, England, 31 October 1695 (or 10 November 1695)
DiedLondon, England, 6 November 1771
John Bevis is best known for his discovery in 1731 of the Crab Nebula, subsequently classified by Charles Messier as M1, though Bevis also merits recognition for his important but stillborn atlas, Uranographia Britannica.
Bevis was born into a well-to-do family. He studied at Christ Church, Oxford, gaining his B.A. on 13 October 1715 and M.A. on 20 June 1718. It is said that Isaac Newton's Opticks was his favorite book during this period. Before settling in London in 1729 and becoming a successful medical practitioner, he traveled widely throughout France and Italy for several years gaining medical information and practical experience.
Astronomy was Bevis's passion; he became friendly with Edmond Halley, whom he assisted at Greenwich in observing the transit of Mercury on 31 October 1736. Bevis observed Mercury occulted by Venus at Gre ...

Seaweed Macaroni aka Nana's Clam Sauce
Carole Murko of Heirloom Meals www.heirloommeals.com
"When I was little, I named this dish seaweed macaroni. I think it was the abundance of parsley married with the clams that sparked my creative naming of this dish!! This is another one of my Nana's go-to dishes in a snap. If you don't have fresh clams, you can always make sure to store a few cans of clams and juice in the pantry for a no-fail simple supper. But it is summer and fresh clams are among its bounty, so take the extra step and treat yourself to the fresh ones, you will not be disappointed!"
4-6 Tbsp olive oil
3-4 Garlic cloves, chopped
1 ½ Cups clam juice
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. Ground black pepper
1 ½ - 2 Cups clams, minced (either canned or fresh. If fresh, use 1-2 lbs)
½-1 Cup chopped parsley
1 lb spaghetti/linguini
If using fresh clams, rinse and soak in a pot of salted water for 10-15 minutes to help release the sand. Scrub and rinse thoroughly. Place clams in pot with about an inch of water bring to boil and then simmer covered for 10 minutes until clam shells open. You can remove the clam meat and mince but I like to leave a few in the shell for garnish.
Heat oil and sauté chopped garlic for 2 minutes. Add juice, salt/pepper and parsley. Simmer about 8-10 minutes. Can be prepared up to this point.
Meanwhile, cook pasta. When done, drain. Add clams to sauce and heat thoroughly. Spoon sauce over pasta. Add a generous amount of parmesan or Pecorino Romano. Toss. If it seems too dry, add some more bottled clam juice. Enjoy!!

Alcohol treatment that incorporates a stepped-care rationale, in which services are escalated, appears to increase the overall efficacy of the treatment regimen. However, in countries such as Germany and the U.S., medication and individual psychotherapy either separately or in combination are rarely used to treat alcohol dependence (AD). A recent study of AD patients who were given a stepped-care approach first medication, then additional psychotherapy found that patients who are willing to attend psychotherapy in addition to pharmacotherapy benefit from a reduced or delayed relapse to heavy drinking.
Results will be published in the April 2014 online-only issue of Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research and are currently available at Early View.
"In Germany, usually care is delivered by addiction counselors," said Michael Berner, a professor of psychiatry at the Freiburg University Medical Center as well as chief physician at the Rhine-Jura Hospital for Psychiatry, Psychosomatics and Psychotherapy in Bad Sckingen, Germany. "But this is usually not disorder-specific, evidence-based psychotherapy. It is has only been a few years that formal psychotherapy delivered by physicians or clinical psychologists will be reimbursed. But even now many of the psychotherapists decline therapy for patients with AD because of an assumed poor prognosis. Therefore, this population is generally not offered psychotherapeutic services by regular psychotherapists."
Berner, who is also the corresponding author for the study, added that the situation for AD medication is not much better. "Anti-craving medications, though effective, are rarely used," he said. "Thus, people neither receive one nor the other. And an additional and possibly the biggest problem is public opinion, which does not consider AD a kind of disorder. So if the public is asked where to cut costs, they always choose alcohol-related disorders."

Unanswered: Designing a full pledge application with EXT JS
We are making an application were we need to have this requirements.
- Login (API Authentication)
- Logout (Killing the current user session)
- Dashboard (which has lots of application menus )
- Application (like Inventory, Reports , Stats and etc)
I saw the Desktop sandbox example in the EXTJS package when I downloaded it and I think I like to have our application behave like this.
My question are
- how can I separate all of this requirements? Do i need to have a controller for each?
- is there's a way to create an Application/Window class that will be have like an independent program?
I hope you can help me regarding my query
1 Jul 2013 4:22 PM #2
Question #1: No, you don't necessarily need a controller for each. The typical advice is to create controllers based on major sections of functionality of the application. So for example, if you have an Inventory management section, perhaps a single controller would be good to manage things related to Inventory management.
Question #2: What do you mean by "behave like an independent program?"
1 Jul 2013 5:42 PM #3
Thanks for the reply..
Regarding my other question , if you look at this desktop sample
It's like each application were independent from each other.. Please correct if im wrong but we have a large team so I'm thinking of separating modules or features for each individuals. We will just have a default Application/Window container

You could of course just break the different sections into various apps and use different namespaces to run them and also have a namespace for the desktop or core interface.

Customer Raves & Reviews
My memorable wedding invite!
I knew what I wanted for a wedding invite but wasn't finding it anywhere until i used magnetstreet.com. As soon as I found Antique Filigree, my fiance and I knew this was it. At first we were going with the single card but then decided to go with the trifold to hold the additional cards. We have received SO many compliments on the textured card stock, the design, and everything. It was nice that I could change the color of the font to match the colors of our wedding. Classy and elegant....it was great!
Beautiful save the dates and invitations
We were impressed by the sample packet that was sent to us when we ordered our save the date magnets. The quality of the magnets and all the paper is great. The colors are beautiful and there are many different styles to choose from. They offer amazing discounts as well! We will be ordering our programs from Magnetstreet and would highly recommend this company to any future couples!
Beautiful card
Being able to choose the colors we wanted were great! We were able to design exactly what we wanted in an invitation.
Just Perfect!
I ordered the antique filigree pocket fold invitations in coral, champagne and purple. They turned out perfectly and fit right in with my sunset color scheme. The paper quality is great and the customer service (I called to get information about my order) is outstanding. These invitations and this company are just perfect!
Save the Dates and Wedding Invites
We ordered our save the dates and wedding invitations from Magnet Street and we are very satisfied! The formats they provide give you tons of options and ideas. We changed the colors and paper material (switched to the luxe pearl it is definitely work the extra money and isn't too shiny) from what was originally provided with our chosen format and it is gorgeous. We also paid to have return addresses and guest addresses printed on the invitations, definitely worth the extra cost and made our life way easier. Everything came on time and I would highly recommend Magnet Street to everyone!!!

This email has been making the rounds lately. I know several people who have received it.
"There is a terrible, anti-Catholic movie called the "Golden Compass" coming out in early December, aimed at children and labeled as a family movie. This movie is based on a series of books by an atheist British author (Phillip Pullman) whose goal in writing the books is to be the "Anti-Narnia" series and to lead children into atheism.The main villains in the series of books are the Magisterium, Cardinals, and the Pope, and includes a heroine that is a young girl who sets out to kill God. The truly sick thing about the movie is that they have made it APPEAR as if it is an innocent film, with exciting effects and a fairytale story. They have removed from the movie the appalling anti-Catholic/Christian themes from the book. The goal of the movie is to hook unsuspecting families into viewing the film so that children will then want to read the books (and probably buy merchandise) . Nicole Kidman stars in it, and Scholastic Books is behind it.I heard about this from Bill Donahue of the Catholic League who was on "The World Over" on EWTN. The goal is to let as many people as possible know about this horrible film and to have it bomb at the box office. The makers of the movie are hoping it will be as big as Harry Potter or the DaVinci Code. Let's pray that it won't! Please tell as many people as possible to avoid this terrible film. Thanks!"
We actually discussed this email this morning at our book club since this email is really "out there". Here is some food for thought.... a few points we discussed:
This is "Hollywood's" interpretation of this book.
Viewing a two hour movie is not going to turn children with a spiritual upbringing into athiests.
Creating controversy about a movie is the very thing that will push a movie into a box office hit.
This is a form of censorship....in a country where we are supposed to value free speech & free press. Should we throw all books we don't like into a pile and light a match? Shall we burn Phillip Pullman( the author) at the stake?
I don't subscribe to that mindset and I teach my children to judge for themselves by way of critical thinking.
I am Catholic and my children attend a Catholic school. I strive to teach them values by real life examples. I don't feel threatened by a work of "Fiction" or a "Hollywood" movie.
A lot of young leaders in the Catholic church today currently subscribe to extremely conservative values, which I don't share. We need more tolerance & compassion in this world-not less
"The goal of the movie is to hook unsuspecting families into viewing the film so that children will then want to read the books (and probably buy merchandise)." This is nothing new...... sorry to say, but this is one of the goals of all "family" movies.....Disney has perfected this into a fine art form from Happy Meals to the merchandise in their own Disney stores.
Furthermore, who is Bill Donahue of the Catholic League... a little research on Wiki revealed this:
William A. Donohue, president of the conservative Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, has made 23 guest appearances on TV news programs in 2004. Donohue uses his appearances primarily to attack gays and progressives. He has referred to the "gay death style," remarked, "God forbid we'd run out of little gay kids," claimed that Senator John Kerry "never found an abortion he couldn't justify," and claimed that "Hollywood is controlled by secular Jews who hate Christianity in general and Catholicism in particular ... Hollywood likes anal sex."
Hear the sarcastic tone in my voice when I say that isn't he just an example of Christian tolerance & compassion?
These types of emails drive me crazy. Who writes these things? Being the cynic that I am, I bet an anti-Catholic wrote this to help the movie become a hit as a way of flipping the finger at them.
So ridiculous.

Celtx, A Review
We are several days into Script Frenzy, a thirty day challenge to write a script, either a movie, play, television or graphic magazine. The challenge is similar to the fall exercise known as National Novel Writing Month where you have to write a novel. But where NaNo is about word count, Script Frenzy is about page count. But this is not the only difference.
If you have even seen a script, you will notice that it is very formal. There is a recognized syntax, format and style that has to be observed. It is this style that makes writing a script very difficult beyond coming up with plot, characters and motivation to actually sit down and write three to five pages per day.
So if you have taken the plunge and decided that you can write the next Matrix, you may have slammed against the frustration of formatting. And if, like me, you do not write a lot of scripts, you might be looking for a tool that will allow you to get up and running quickly, will not cost you a month's salary and will do the hard stuff for you. There are a number of templates available for your favorite word processing package and they are OK. I used the ones for Open Office and that lasted about two pages before I was ready to throw the netbook across the room. It just was not working for me. I spent more time formatting than I did writing. So I started looking around.
One of the programs that popped up was Celtx which bills itself as The #1 Choice for Media Pre-Production. What I liked was it was Open-Source, would run on my platform (Ubuntu) and would do a lot of the heavy lifting of script writing for me. So I downloaded it and started using it. It will also run on Windows and Macintosh, making it a nice cross-platform application as well.
If you find you want to use it, I encourage you to read the well written wiki, both on how to install it and how to leverage its abilities.
I found it very easy to install and start using, even without reading the wiki. The first thing I noticed about the program is that, like its novel writing brethren, it has a full plotting tool, character motivation and description templates, along with a whole host of additional tools for doing full-fledged pre-production, whether you are doing a movie, a play or comic book.
But you see I am not a plot-first type of writer. I write from the beginning to the end, letting the characters take me where they will. Is Celtx able to handle this style of writing? The answer is yes. The program will add your characters to the Master Catalog as you type so you can fill in their details (or not) as you desire at a later point, or not. It will add your slugs (scene heads) to the running list of scenes and other wise stay out of your way as you write. For me, this is critical, because I just want something that will do my formatting for me. At least, right now.
The other feature I wanted is to be able to print out my script. There are three features for this. One is a straight print button that will send your hard copy to your choice of printers. The second, a PDF formatter (that only works when you are connected to the Internet) and third, an export feature that will export your script fully formatted to a text file that you can then import into another program.
So call me impressed. I was looking for a simple editor and I have a full-featured development, no, pre-production environment and all of it is open source. What more could you want?
Well, there is more. After all, it is a pre-production environment, not just a script writing tool, and for a small yearly fee, you can buy yourself a studio. This is a web (dare I say cloud) environment where you can upload your project and share it with up to five (or more if you want to pay more) people. There is a rudimentary configuration management tool, where you can put a number of script...er...projects for others on your team to work with. Being connected to the studio also enables the PDF formatting engine that puts a stylistically correct title page and other wrappers around your script to make it into a truly professional package. Celtx also sells additional tools that you might feel are necessary, depending on how deeply into the process you want to go.
So whether you are getting ready to make the next Gone with the Wind or banging out the next Death Bed: The Bed That Eats as part of Script Frenzy, Celtx will do it for you. And who knows, if you are successful, maybe someday Patton Oswalt will do a bit about you.

Celtx ROCKS!
I've written about five of my ten feature scripts on Celtx, along with many many short scripts. I use it on WinXP, Mac OS, and Linux (Crashbang). I have no troubles with it on any platform, and if you consider that it includes an easy-to-use backup feature for a small yearly fee, in addition to the collaborative environment, it's insane to use anything else, unless you're in a situation where Final Draft or one of the other "professional" and expensive software packages are needed. And I don't usually write such awful, run-on sentences as are in this post, but I'm just so happy with this software! And I use ALOT of software everyday. It's perfect for the beginner, because the software is FREE and FRIENDLY. Have I said I love this software?
"like its novel writing
"like its novel writing brethren, it has a full plotting tool." ~ So what is it's novel writing brethren? You didn't name it and I can't find it mentioned anywhere else online either. That was what I was looking for originally.
another free screenplay software option
Hey guys,
Celtx is great, but I also regularly use Scripped.com for my screenwriting needs. I love their look and feel and contests. It's nice to be in the vicinity of 70,000 writers when I fire up and get inspired.
Just thought they should get some airtime to: http://Scripped.com
I'm not so sure Celtx is Free Software (license), or even open-source (development). Its been a while since I tried Celtx I suppose, but it if were, there would be a way to use other script repositories without having to pay them for this privilege.
Me and my technical mind...
Seeing "script" on a software-related magazine I immediately thought 'Ah, shell'.
But, hey, maybe I am not the only one... :)
I also thought that this

fine pre production tool - linux not so much
Celtx is a very useful pre production tool that has, over time, added features to make it more "industry format and standards" compatible.
Celtx is a very "feature rich" and well thought out application; too many features to even touch on in a short review.
Download it and look at the excellent video tutorials and documentation. Learn about Celtx studios, which is a sort-of cloud backup and script collaboration/sharing feature for a very reasonable fee.
Use Celtx on windows and OSX without a problem; linux too; but.
Linux is now a stepchild, kind of second tier os, or so it seems.
Many linux specific bugs have been outstanding - and some of them are quite outstanding bugs - for several releases with no sign of ever being fixed.
Bugs that effect windows or OSX releases will be fixed for linux too, but that seems to be more of a coincidence than intention. Perhaps their *nix knowledgeable programmer(s) has/have moved on.
Fortunately the windows release of Celtx runs just fine on all recent releases of Wine, a windows api clean room implementation that ships with most if not all of the largish linux distributions.
However, to get the best results using Wine, additional configuration using wine-doors and winetricks is necessary, which provide such things as font smoothing on lcd monitors and theme matching under gnome/gtk - and more; the results are worth the extra effort, as properly configured, Celtx or any other wine application looks and runs pretty much like a native gtk/gnome application. If KDE is your desktop, I'm not sure how well kde themes will work out.
So by all means give Celtx a look on linux, but be prepared for some extra work moving to Wine if any of the outstanding linux bugs - bite you.
I wonder though if, like songbird, celtx is on the verge of dropping support for linux.
I was wondering similarly
I agree that there were a couple of odd errors and not a lot of suggestions for fixing them. Only in a couple of cases were the errors critical enough that they prevented me from working, and in most cases those were with the accessing of the Celtx Studio features. The main program worked with only a few warnings that were easily ignored.
I did my creative work in Linux on Ubuntu with Gnome. If I get some time this month I will spin it up on a couple of other distributions to see what happens.
I certainly hope they are not going to drop support for Linux. It certainly made writing my script much easier.

Celtx Review
Hi David.
Thanks for your review on Celtx. Just thought I could clarify a point - you can generate a pdf of your script for free using the Typset/PDF sub-tab. It's actually not a for-fee feature, nor is it tied into a Celtx Studio subscription.
In my initial post, I mistakenly said that the PDF creation function was "for fee" I was, as pointed out, incorrect and I am sorry for the confusion. You do have to be "on-line" to use it, but you do not have to be connected to the Studio feature.
I should also note that a PDF is what you have to submit to the folks at Script Frenzy, so that is a critical feature, and works quite nicely.

LaTeX document processing framework in Python
plasTeX is a collection of Python frameworks that allow you to process LaTeX documents. This processing includes, but is not limited to, conversion of LaTeX documents to various document formats. Of course, it is capable of converting to HTML or XML formats such as DocBook and tBook, but it is an open framework that allows you to drive any type of rendering. This means that it could be used to drive a COM object that creates a MS Word Document.
The plasTeX framework allows you to control all of the processes including tokenizing, object creation, and rendering through API calls. You also have access to all of the internals such as counters, the states of "if" commands, locally and globally defined macros, labels and references, etc. In essence, it is a LaTeX document processor that gives you the advantages of an XML document in the context of a language as superb as Python.

Claudio the LWD cameramans 1200ADV was on sale on ebay here in the UK last year...............It had a new beak and headlight but everything else looked much the same.........Even the blue tape on the Touratech crash bar bags was still there.
The seller( a car dealer) was asking around £11,000 for the bike but i reckon it was worth no more than £6500 as it was beat to shit and not really any different than any other 1200GSA that'd had a hard life.
Ewans 1150GSA was originally sold at a charity auction in the UK for around £80,000 You could make an identical replica of that bike with the same mileage, dents and all the Touratech/ohlins accessories for around £7000 at the time.
Even the faded red 'twat suit' is a sought after item and if you have one of the original Rallye 2's in grey or red it shows that you're an 'old timer' as far as ADV riding goes.
The grubbier the 'twat suit' the better!

Avignon. The king of incense IMO. Good longevity, one of the most interesting and intriguing you can own.
Thread: Recommend me an INCENSE scent
Hello BN'ers,
I have the following in mind.
Odin - 07 Tanoke
CdG - Avignon
Les Liquides Imaginaires - Fortis
Byredo - Encense Chembur
What would you buy and why? Thanks.
Avignon. The king of incense IMO. Good longevity, one of the most interesting and intriguing you can own.
Seasonal favorites:
1. Xerjoff - Nio
2. Creed - Aventus
3. Tom Ford - Grey Vetiver
4. The Different Company - De Bachmakov
5. Dior - Homme Sport 2008
6. Montale - Aoud Legacy
7. Creed - Virgin Island Water
8. by Kilian - Straight to Heaven
9. Creed - Original Cologne
10. Clive Christian - 1872 for Men
Try Molto Missoni. Although it's been discontinued it's still reasonably priced online. It's classed as female, but is actually unisex, if not leaning more in the masculine direction....
RARE PERFUME DECANTS - FACEBOOK (closed group) - Hundreds of ultra rare extraits available, including Djedi and Nombre Noir.
Avignon is incense in a bottle and it's longevity is quite good, especially for a CdG scent.
Of those choices Avignon would definitely be my pick and it is superb.
Current Top Favorites:
1) Portrait of a Lady original formula (EdP Frédéric Malle)
2) Giorgio for Men vintage/V.I.P. for Men (Giorgio Beverly Hills)
3) Dia Man vintage edt (Amouage)
4) Anat Fritz Original Formula and Classical (Anat Fritz) - tie
4) Lalfeorosa (O'driù) - tie
6) Les Nombres d'Or Vetyver (Mona di Orio)
7) Captain vintage (Molyneux)
8) Tzora (Anat Fritz)
9) Javanese Patchouli (Zegna) - tie
9) Monsieur de Givenchy vintage (Givenchy) - tie
9) Coeur de Vetiver Sacré (L'Artisan) - tie
9) X for Men (Clive Christian) - tie
9) Patou pour Homme Privé (Jean Patou) - tie
9) Oud Shamash (The Different Company) - tie
I have only smelled Avignon and Fortis. If you want a beautiful churchy incense buy the Avignon. If you want a beautiful, dark, saffrony, spicy incense then get the Fortis. Fortis is very high on my wish list.
Incense Rose is my favorite. I know its technically classified as a ladies fragrance but it wears so well on men imo. I own it and love it.
JXXV or Opus VII
Incense Oud
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
Avignon is my choice.
Not on your list, but I'd also suggest trying Mauboussin - M Generation
Jubilation XXV.
Seasonal favorites:
1. Xerjoff - Nio
2. Creed - Aventus
3. Tom Ford - Grey Vetiver
4. The Different Company - De Bachmakov
5. Dior - Homme Sport 2008
6. Montale - Aoud Legacy
7. Creed - Virgin Island Water
8. by Kilian - Straight to Heaven
9. Creed - Original Cologne
10. Clive Christian - 1872 for Men
From your list: Avignon

From your list : Avignon
Hypocrites will always be a thorn in my back....and my middle finger will always be the best remedy.....
Tom Ford Sahara Noir is my choice for a warm incense. CdG 2Man is excellent as well.
MadHat Scents
MadHat Peel - (Citrus, Vetiver, Woods) Limited Edition Summer Fragrance ONLY 25 Bottles Available *7 of 25 Remaining Currently
Skiff (Ambergris, Tropical Fruit, Pacific Red Cedar, Floral Mukhallat) / Embers - ONLY 135ml Left (Un-burned Incense, Campfires, Leather and Resins) / Khus (Ruh Khus, Sandalwood, Rose, Geranium)
Thanks all!
Among the recommendations, I really like Bois d'Encens and Incense Oud. But they are too pricey..
I also liked Incense Rose and Jubilation XXV very much, so I might go for them. Anyways, Avignon should do the job as some of you recommended. Also, I like the price.
I will try Sahara Noir when I get back from vacation!
From your list, Avignon. You can also check Casbah by Piguet - one of the best for me. And also Encens Flamboyant by Annick Goutal. And of course, the rest of CdG line, they're all worth a try, especially Kyoto and Zagorsk!
(where's the incense in Fortis?)

My sales thread | Rare, discontinued & vintage stuff!
My fragrance reviews | Ye Olde Civet Cat
Passage d'Enfer by L'Artisan
Casbah by Piguet is the best, imo!
check your ego at the door!
Eau des Baux and. Cardinal are both great. I really like Endymion for a strong incense note that is not pure Catholic mass/Buddhist temple visit. Zagorsk reminds me too much of actually being in Zagorsk, which is not pleasant from an olfactory point of view.
From your list: Avignon
Also you should try Armani Bois d'Encens
Not on your list but IMO worth sampling:

Amouage, Interlude Man. If you want to explore incense scents, Amouage is a superb house to sample from, and Parfums Raffy sells 2.5ml carded samples at great prices. Highly recommended!
Anybody have a sample of Martin Margiela Untitled or Untitled L'Eau? I'm dying to smell these and I've got lots of great niche samples to swap!
"Follow your nose. It always knows." -- Toucan Sam
If you like Avignon, you should try Cardinal by Heeley. It's very similar, but it's a bit brighter and has a more citrus at the top. I find the performance to be outstanding, and it's by far my most complimented fragrance.
Avignon, Cardinal, Incense Extreme, Encens Famboyant and Incense Oud are probably my top 5.

I'm a newbie on websphere, i'm trying to validate my portlet application on ths server.
I deployed a .war on websphere CE 3.0, windows 7 64 bits, through admin console. Even if "start application after installed" is unchecked, when i click on install, i don't get any error message or log and the deployment never stops. Processor keeps 100% hardworking, i killed server 1 hour later nothing more happened.
My portlet works fineon other App Serv such tomcat, glassfish, ketty or JBoss.
I then tried to install pluto-testsuite-2.0.2.war portlet and installed it successfully in a few seconds. I modified pluto-testsuite-2.0.2.war by just adding birt Runtime 3.7 jar in WEB-INF/lib (about 30Mbytes, i use this runtime in my application). this new pluto-testsuite-2.0.2.war couldn't be installed, with exactly the same issue as my application.
So my questions: is it a known problem ? Could it be related with .war size? Since i dont get any error message, what could i try to have a chance to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance

Re: Portlet endless deployment2011-11-17T23:16:35Z in response to Jeff_chiHi Jeff,
After selecting my portlet.war (43Mo), when i click on install button in admin console deployer, i get those log lines:
2011-11-18 00:04:58,145 INFO SupportedModesServiceImpl Portlet mode 'edit' not found for portletId: 'console-base.WARModules!-717254442|0'

2011-11-18 00:05:17,073 INFO Parameters Parameters: Invalid chunk '' ignored.
After that, this deployment is just endless with a very high cpu activity, and no more log messages.
I'm a little bit confused because i have absolutely no clue about what i could do to fix it. This problem can be easyly reproduced whith for instance Apache pluto testsuite portlet: we just have to add in its war, under WEB-INF/lib, the Eclipse BIRT runtime (30Mo) and deployment becomes impossible. Any idea?

Re: Portlet endless deployment2011-11-18T15:14:10Z in response to SystemAdminSounds like there's a problem uploading the war file (which I assume Jeff is investigating.).
Jeff suggested you use the 'deploy' command line, rather than the admin console deploy function. This should work for you.
Assuming a Linux system:
'bin/deploy.sh deploy <your-war-filename> <and-optionally-your-deployment-plan-filename>'

Re: Portlet endless deployment2012-04-02T04:54:19Z in response to SystemAdminDid anyone ever find a resolution to this issue? I'm having similar problems with WASCE 184.108.40.206 when trying to deploy a large (40MB) war file. The deploy actually does complete for me, but it takes a long time - on the order of 10-15 minutes.
When the deploy was running, I took a few thread dumps of the server JVM and it looks like the deployer is doing something related to web services. This seems a bit odd as I'm not using any web services in my app.
The active thread in the thread dump seems to be doing this:

Re: Portlet endless deployment2012-04-19T08:45:38Z in response to kevintapHi,
If the application is big and with lots of library in WEB-INF/lib folder, CE server will do service scan among those libraries by default. You can follow this document to disable unnecessary scan.
Let's us know if it works for you.

Changes in Contaminant Levels in New Jersey Osprey Eggs and Prey, 1989 to 1998

Ospreys are good indicators of the health of estuarine areas because they feed almost exclusively on fish with the balance on other aquatic biota. Through the 1980s, ospreys nesting on Delaware Bay in New Jersey had reduced reproductive success relative to those nesting on the Atlantic coast and the Maurice River, a tributary of Delaware Bay. Earlier research suggested that elevated levels of DDT and polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contaminants identified in addled osprey eggs contributed to this reduced productivity. We repeated egg and prey sampling initially conducted in 1989 to evaluate the trends of contaminants in the last decade. Most organochlorine contaminants declined in osprey eggs in 1998 relative to 1989. Across three study areas, PCBs decreased from 4.1–7.7 ppm in 1989 to 1.8–3.2 ppm in 1998; DDE decreased from 1.2–3.2 ppm in 1989 to 0.7–1.2 ppm in 1998. Lead in eggs increased from an average of 0.01 to 0.30 ppm wet weight, and mercury averaged 0.12 ppm and increased only in Atlantic coast eggs. Most of these contaminant changes were also found in typical prey fish: PCBs decreased from 0.18–1.2 ppm in 1989 to 0.06–0.43 ppm in 1998; DDE decreased from 0.05–0.69 ppm in 1989 to 0.03–0.13 ppm in 1998. Lead and mercury increased in most fish samples. The improvement in most organochlorine contaminants in osprey eggs and prey reflected improved nest success in the Delaware Bay study area, and the nesting populations in the Atlantic and Maurice River study areas increased approximately 200% since 1989. PCBs and DDE in osprey eggs were below levels considered to be toxic to egg development. This study documents significant improvements in organochlorine contaminants in southern New Jersey ospreys, but justifies continued monitoring of heavy metals, such as lead and mercury, in aquatic ecosystems.

|A study of snark in news media
|Hendel, John, 1986-
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|This study sought to examine the journalistic tone of snark. How does a snarky news tone affect audience reception among readers of both hard news and soft news stories? Specifically, the study sought to find how snark engaged and entertained readers and how humorous and credible readers found snark. An initial pretest of 41 participants read 20 news excerpts from the gossip news blog Gawker and the New York Times and rated them on a snark index of five qualities: wit, aggression, irony, informality, and critique. The pretest successfully established that a difference in tone existed between the two news sources, based on the snark index, and allowed a subsequent experiment, involving 8 of the 20 news excerpts, to test for effects. In the experiment (N=99), people found snarky stories more engaging (p [lesser than] .05), entertaining (p [lesser than] .01), and humorous (p [lesser than] .01) than non-snarky stories. However, people also found snark less credible (p [lesser than] .01) and reported wanting to read snark less than regular news (p [lesser than] .01). People reported finding soft news more entertaining (p [lesser than] .01) and humorous (p [lesser than] .01) than hard news, and this difference of story type significantly interacted with snark in all measures except entertainment. The results suggest that snark has incredible power to attract attention. Considering the continuing expansion of Internet news media and increase in soft news coverage, further research needs to address journalistic tone and specifically biting, personality-driven snark.
