Thread: Xerjoff Kobe.
My goodness this is lovely. I'm getting neroli, rose & the gentle citrus is just divine. Everlasting and quite beautiful. Although I only have 10ml I am going to Rome in a few days and along with a visit to Lorenzo Villerosi I will be paying a visit to the Xerjoff boutique. The only thing that is nervous is my wallet....god this is good.

I just received a sample of Kobe this week? Unfortunately it was a massive disappointment to me.
There is just something wrong about it, it reminds me of a dirty dish cloth that has been soaked in Fairy washing up liquid and left to go stale. Yuck!
"Smell with your nose, not your ears"
AC'S FAVORITES - Neil Morris Takashimaya, Xerjoff Nio, Profumum Roma Acqua Viva, Creed Green Irish Tweed, Gandini Lime & Basil, Bruno Fazzolari Lampblack, Lalique Encre Noire, YSL Opium Pour Homme EDP, Acqua di Parma Colonia Intensa Leather, Acqua di Parma Colonia Intensa Oud and Slumberhouse Jeke extrait
I like it, but the price is very high. If that's not an issue then go for it and enjoy!
The quality of ingredients used in the Xerjoff line, particularly Kobe, is astounding. If I am not mistaken, the line is marketed to wealthy Russian aristocrats. If not, it certainly smells like it is! Kobe uses top quality neroli with a little oud wood and spice. The neroli here is rich and indolent. Probably one of the best neroli scents for men (along with the diving PdN Cologne Sologne and MGP Pour le Jeune Homme). If you're going to the Villoresi boutique, be sure to smell their Acqua di Colonia, which is the best extant cologne featuring natural, bare neroli at its finest.
Hmmm... I don't mind Oud so much, I have a few bottles of the original M7 and M7 Fresh upstairs that I use every now and then.
To be fair I did test it straight on to my skin and that could well be the problem. I'm willing to give it another chance, but on paper first perhaps.
I own Kobe and absolutely love it. Not many frags worth high price tags but this one is definitely worth it.
I tested Kobe from a sample and it made me euphoric.
I haven't tried all my Xerjoff samples yet but this one is probably the best.

Tried it from a sample given to me but it wasn't right for me.

Good stuff. Gets The Beck's approval.
Enough is enough. I gotta find a sample of this stuff.
If price is an issue you can get the discovery set which has 6 15ml minis including Kobe. All fine scents imo.
Gets my thumbs up. My No.1 is still Nio, but my bottle of Kobe and other Xerjoff's get used.
I really think it's the best masculine neroli around. It transcends the typical soapy-barbershop approach (C&S) and while smelling very "classic" is really innovative. And while the pricetag makes you gulp, for once, the quality really is there.

II est de forts parfums pour qui toute matière/Est poreuse. On dirait qu'ils pénètrent le verre.

I've tried Kobe several times and love the fragrance. My partner does not think its that special - so I have not bought it. It does smell pretty different from most neroli scents. I almost think neroli is incidental to the overall composition. It is not fresh or eau de cologne style but the fragrance riffs on the wood aspects of neroli and becomes warmer and more wood oriented. There is a faint smell of warm orange wood inside. Ah neroli! I will probably have to break down and get a bottle someday.

Kobe is one of the most stunning fragrances I have tried. This one and Uden are on my wish-list. Just curious: How many sprays do you use ?
I don't have much experience with Uden unfortunately so can't help you with that one.
One of the few unique Xerjoffs, and one of the few in the line where I'd actually wager they really are using higher quality materials (does not apply to much of the line, imo, unfortunately). A great scent. Lots of petitgrain bolstering that woody/neroli accord.
Does it make no different to buy Xerjoff at eighter Parfumsraffy or Luckyscent? Or maby directly from their own web-shop? It seems like you get a free sample pack (5 pieces) of Xerjoff fragrances when you buy a Xerjoff bottle from Parfumsraffy. Any experiences?
You can request as many samples as your like when you order via xerjoff.com, Just do it there as you get free shipping/postage too.
Just sampled Kobe and Uden
To me Kobe is a better version of Aqua Di Parma Colonia Essensa with the neroli and rose (I get no oud from it whatsoever) and Uden is a better version of Versace Dreamer. Perhaps i'm being harsh because of the pricetag, but I would never spend $300 on 50ml of these.
I'm sampling Kobe right now, thanks to my good pal Oupavoc!
This is probably the best neroli I've ever smelled. So that's oud in the background? I don't get a whole lot of oud, but I'm no expert on oud, that's for sure. I love the woody/neroli vibe, and I'm getting the slightest hints of cinnamon maybe? That makes it slightly resemble the flat, chewing gum that used to come in hockey cards back in the day - anyone know what I'm talking about?
My only problem with this one is my problem with most neroli based scents - my wife thinks it smells like freakin' household cleaner! SONOFABITCH! She didn't like the opening of this one, but I'm an hour in, and maybe I'll try again, because it's much smoother now. Wish me luck!
Does Harrods in London and Gallerie Lafayette in Paris carry the Xerjoff fragrances?
Just sampled Kobe. My, my....very nice. I wish I had a bottle so I could spray myself 3 or 4 times with it. Much too expensive, however. This is one where a 10 ml split will have to suffice. Now, if I could only find one.
Well RedRaider430, IMO Kobe is a scent that smells actually better, when lightly applied. Too many sprays sort of intensifies the neroli/oud and makes it a bit cloying, whereas one tiny spray in the middle of my chest lasts hours and hours.
An amazing scent, Xerjoff hit the jackpot with this one.
"Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance."
-- Eckhart Tolle
Received a sample a while ago, one week after...I had a full bottle. This is one unique scent and imo its awesome.
I must confess I don't like this. I get an incense accord that rubs me the wrong way.
Like the other Xerjoffs I've tried, I feel like Kobe is very well made. Quality ingredients..very long lasting. However, I'm not a huge fan. One of the reasons is that it gives me an almost instant headache. I'll have to revisit it at another time to see if anything changes.
I feel that Kobe is definitely well made. It is a quality fragrance with a rich composition but it is just not my style. I am sure this well smell great on someone else.
My current top ten:
1. Spice and Wood
2. Tonka Imperiale
3. Dior Homme
4. Pure Malt
5. Oud Wood
6. Ambre Nuit
7. L'air Du Desert Marocain
8. Noir de Noir
9. Apple Brandy
10.Straight to Heaven
Quite a nice fragrance, unique and the quality of ingredients and composition is apparent. I get a very clear and bright neroli with almost a starfruit like note, giving it a slight exotic feel. Though, I can't see myself paying the asking price for a bottle.
Not a fan. Every time I smell it, it reminds me of a citrus enchilada.

This is quite beautiful. A very unique take on citrus. Wore reflection man on the other wrist to compare (they follow a similar theme IMO), and Kobe seemed to have so much more 'clarity', if that makes sense. Girlfriend was a huge fan. Seems very difficult to find for a reasonable price though.
Kobe was one of my favorites from this line. Not because of the citrus aspect, but for the oud that goes on it, which seems natural to me, so even if it's a synthetic one it has that oily, dry, new-rope smell that i only get on real oud fragrances. It's one of the few Xerjoff that i would have a full bottle.

Leonardo DiCaprio's mother, Irmelin Indenbirken, looks ecstatic to be at the Oscars this year.Credit: Getty
Mom is always the best date for a drama-free evening. This year, several stars brought their mothers to the Oscars in lieu of a date. Here are the stars who took their parents to work on Sunday.
Leonardo DiCaprio: This notorious modelizer and playboy is supposedly dating 21-year-old Toni Garrn. Things were serious enough for him to take her out on Valentine's Day, but apparently Garrn still does not get a seat at the Oscars. Instead, DiCaprio brought mother Irmelin Indenbirken, who looks great for her age. We see where Leo got those baby blues.
Jonah Hill's mom laughed along when Ellen DeGeneres poked fun at his full-frontal scenes.Credit: Oscars
Jonah Hill: Hill's mother, Sharon Lyn Chalkin, is no stranger to awards shows. Hill took her to the Oscars in 2012 as well. Chalkin is a good sport: She laughed along when Ellen DeGeneres pointed out that she had seen Hill's junk on the big screen.
Big brother Shannon Leto, left, mother Constance Leto and Jared Leto kept it in the family at this year's Oscars.Credit: Getty
Jared Leto: Not only did Jared Leto bring his mother Constance to the Oscars, he devoted his Best Supporting Actor award to her. He said, "In 1971, in Bossier City, Louisiana, there was a teenage girl who was pregnant with her second child. She was a high school dropout and a single mom, but somehow she managed to make a better life for herself and her children. She encouraged her kids to be creative and work hard and do something special. That girl was my mother and she's here tonight. I just want to say, 'I love you, mom, thank you for teaching me to dream.'" Swoon.
Laura Dern, left, came with father Bruce Dern and his wife Andrea Beckett to the Oscars.Credit: Getty
Bruce Dern: Best Actor nominee Dern did not bring his mother to the Oscars, but he did bring daughter Laura Dern along with his wife Andrea Beckett. As DeGeneres pointed out, Dern has quite a pedigree, with Eleanor Roosevelt as a godmother, and his daughter Laura is sure to carry on the family torch.

Staff Reporter
NEW DELHI: Delhi Nationalist Congress Party president and Badarpur MLA Ramvir Singh Bidhuri on Tuesday met Lieutenant-Governor Tejendra Khanna and urged him to immediately order stopping of construction of the Jaitpur landfill site at Tajpur Pahari in his constituency as it poses a major environmental threat to the fragile ecology of the area.
Mr. Bidhuri said he also informed Mr. Khanna that the land on which the sanitary landfill has been planned belongs to the Gram Sabha as also to some private individuals. He said neither had the Government so far acquired the land nor had it paid any compensation for it.
'Harming environment'
Stating that the proposed project was to come up on quarries that are over 100 feet deep and spread over 130 bigha of land, the MLA said the site was surrounded by five villages and 70 colonies in which lakhs of people reside. Dumping of garbage here, he said, would harm the environment leading to both air and water pollution.
The Badarpur MLA suggested that instead of a sanitary landfill, the site should be used for construction of schools, colleges, parks and shopping complexes.
Or better still, he said, it can be used as a "permanent water body by getting it filled by flood water, transferred from Agra canal or Gurgaon canal or by discharging all the storm water drains of the area in near vicinity to create poundage".

By cocotiyo from USA on 2009-01-04 15:48:28Things I liked:Everything!! This rifle is a powerhouse, even with its low cocking effort. This rifle is absolutely flawless. You cannot go wrong with this rifle. This is incredibly ideal for plinking and dove hunting!! If you are looking for a great air rifle, look no further! This is my absolute favorite!
Things I would have changed:Not one thing. Period.
What others should know:Check out this link.... http://www.diana-airguns.de/index.php?id=126&L=1&width=1280&height=1024 ....By the way, when you do check, or if you simply look on the barrel, you will see that the rifle's actual name is "240 Classic," not "Shutze." Also, remember to clean your air guns(s); it's very important to do so. I got two of these, one for me and one for my mom,and we really enjoy them. Were using two different scopes, one is a BSA 4x32, and the other is Centerpoint Adventure Class illuminated mildot duplex reticle 3-9x40. these are absolutely fantastic scopes for this rifle! You know, I've heard alot of airgunners bragging about their "tight groups." What concerns me is that their "groups" are not on the target, If you can't hit that bull's eye that defeats the purpose of shooting. Regardless if your competing, practicing or hunting, you have to hit your mark. So how about those tight group guys compensate for the deviation? Remember the most important part is the shooter. Don't worry about accuracy with this rifle though; It has all the accuracy you need, and more. Yeah, it's that accurate. The following are my personal pellet recommendations: RWS Superdomes, BSA Wolverines, Gamo Matches, and Gamo Hunters, and Benjamin Diabolos. I'll try to keep you all posted.

Compare VOIP Provider Rates Changes Name, Reiterates Mission
Compare VOIP Provider Rates – a site offering users an easy and convenient way to compare VOIP rates between leading providers – has changed it's domain name to better align it with it's mission, namely providing users with easy access to the cheapest rates possible.
New York, NY (PRWEB) July 13, 2012
The problem with most so-called VOIP comparison sites out there, is that they're anything but. Instead of objectively comparing VOIP providers, most sites are simply nothing more than advertising platforms where the highest bidder wins the most prominent placing. Providers are forced to pay hundreds or even thousands of Dollars to be displayed on those sites, and the sites themselves outbid providers on Google AdWords further driving higher the cost of gaining new customers – which in turn drives higher the prices consumers have to pay – consumers and providers lose, advertising agencies win.
To add insult to injury, things weren't always like that. Some of the most prominent VOIP comparison sites out there used to be community-run by passionate enthusiasts who were doing it for the good of the community. Unfortunately passion has a time limit, and when presented with Big Money, even enthusiasts are tempted to sell. A single company currently owns three of the most prominent so-called comparison sites and appropriately describes itself as an advertising agency – which is exactly what it is.
Consumers are mostly unaware of this trend, and mistakenly think these sites are genuine. They are led to make bad choices and choose providers who would fail in a genuine comparison against most others. Some call it the American way- big money wins. But some disagree- consumers should choose providers based on genuine reviews and how good the providers perform, not based on how big their advertising budget is.
One entity that aims to change all of this is Compare VOIP Provider Rates – a site which provides an easy way to compare calling rates to most destinations worldwide. When comparing VOIP providers no other factors are considered. The calling rate is the only factor the site considers, and the lower the rate, the more prominent the provider's placing will be.
To align itself with it's mission – introducing users to more affordable VOIP providers – the site changed it's name from http://www.comparevoipproviderrates.com to http://www.cheapvoipproviders.org in the hope that the new name helps consumers become aware and more price-sensitive in their VOIP provider choices.
Current features offered by the site:
- Non-biased rate-based comparison between dozens of providers to thousands of destinations
- A residential VOIP comparison between leading US providers
- A collection of VOIP articles
Future plans include a VOIP forum, a non-biased provider review section, and other features to provide genuine user feedback about the scores of VOIP provider choices out there. As opposed to most every other VOIP site out there today, all comparisons are and will keep being genuine and based on real facts – not advertising budgets.

Rome, Italy
My Rating
Our private tour was incredible - no lines, no waiting. And our tour guide was very knowledgeable, and extremely articulate. You would never know she'd only been speaking English for 3 years! She also did an amazing job of helping my mother-in-law who had a broken foot. She made sure to keep her foot safe in a very crowded setting. I would highly recommend a private tour for your family. This was my 2nd trip here and the first time, with a larger group tour was far less enjoyable. I wish I could remember our tour guides name - she was amazing. If she reads this - tell us your name. You grew up in Sicily, lived in Greece, and now are in Rome. Thanks for a very special day!
Jerusalem, Israel
My Rating
We can't say enough good things about this experience. Yosef was an amazing tour guide, historian, and storyteller. He did an amazing job with our whole group. My four kids were all happy and entertained on a long journey that could have been really hard for two 10 year olds, a 9 year old, and a 5 year old. We were able to experience a lot for one day! I would highly recommend a private tour like this for your family! And ask for Yosef - he was a big part of why we loved it so much!

Nyqwan Murray is busting his tail to get ready for life as an FSU football player.
It drove him crazy hearing about the freshmen in his class who got an early start during the recently completed spring semester. Murray didn't have that option.
Good friend Jacques Patrick, a running back from Orlando Timber Creek, and fellow wide receivers George Campbell (Tarpon Springs East Lake) and D'Vante Phillips (Miami Central), three of seven early FSU enrollees for the 2015 class, all were able to get a jump on the playbook and life as college athletes.
Meanwhile, Murray was back at Orlando Oak Ridge High wishing he was already in Tallahassee, but he knew he couldn't just sit around and wait.
"I feel good. I put in work every day ... work out with coach and make sure I'm ready and in shape," Murray said recently after a workout with his own personal trainer and coach Chris Mitchell. "I'm anxious; I'm so anxious. I wish I could go now. ... I wish I could go today, but the journey is coming."

New FSU quarterback Everett Golson has some tools that are readily apparent. He has a big arm and he's mobile, those traits are obvious.
Then there are some more subtle strengths, like how he's able to throw on the run and can extend the pocket by smoothly rolling out. Of course, there are some equally subtle weaknesses, such as his inability to confidently carry out read-option responsibilities.
Finally, there's the glaring weakness of being turnover prone. In 2014, 85 FBS teams had fewer turnovers than Golson had individually in the regular season.
That is Everett Golson in a nutshell.
The focus then turns to coach Jimbo Fisher.
Part of FSU's offensive success under Fisher – the Seminoles have averaged more than 30 points per game every season Fisher has been at the helm – is largely due to his flexibility to cater plays to his signal caller and also because of his eclectic playbook. Even under Jameis Winston, who was far from immobile but definitely a pocket quarterback, Fisher would...Read more
Mike Martin would like to believe in momentum.
After all, FSU's baseball coach just witnessed his club bounce back from a five-game losing streak to end the regular season and go on to rattle off four consecutive victories to capture the ACC tournament championship heading into the NCAA tournament.
But Martin, who has seen winning teams inexplicably crumble and struggling squads catch fire, believes momentum is a fallacy.
"Momentum is the next day's starting pitcher," said Martin, who credited former Baltimore Orioles manager Earl Weaver for the line.
FSU (41-19) learned Monday that it did not earn a national seed by the NCAA selection committee. However, the Seminoles do have a clear picture of what they must do to advance to the College World Series, including a probable matchup against Florida in Gainesville if both teams make it past the regional round.
But first, FSU will have to win its region, a feat the Seminoles couldn't accomplish last year despite playing host in the tournament's...Read more
DURHAM, N.C. — John Sansone homered and Florida State beat North Carolina State 6-2 on Sunday in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.
Sansone hit a three-run blast in the third inning and Danny De La Calle drove in two runs to help the fourth-seeded Seminoles (41-19) win their sixth ACC tournament title and their third since 2010.
Boomer Biegalski (7-4) relieved starter Bryant Holtmann in the fourth and struck out five in 4 1-3 innings for his second victory at the tournament. Florida State, which entered the tournament having lost five straight, went 4-0 this week.
Jake Fincher drove in a run for the sixth-seeded Wolfpack (34-21). They had won 13 of 15, including a 3-0 finish in pool play, before falling in the title game.
Johnny Piedmonte (1-2) allowed four runs on three hits in 3 1-3 innings for N.C. State, which was denied its first ACC tournament title since 1992.
Sansone came up with the biggest hit of the day for the Seminoles, putting them up 3-0 in the third.

FSU's recent struggles seem like a distant memory after the Seminoles defeated Louisville 6-0 to advance to the ACC championship.
The fourth-seeded Seminoles (39-19, 3-0 in pool play) scored all six of their runs in their final three innings of Saturday's contest at Durham Bulls Athletic Park. FSU entered the ACC tournament on a five-game losing streak that started in Louisville (42-15, 2-1 in pool play) earlier this month.
Fittingly, two of those losses came at Louisville; FSU had a one-hit performance in a 13-1 defeat and 6-5 loss in which the Seminoles squandered a 5-0 lead. The forgettable weekend was avenged as FSU downed the tournament's top-seeded squad. With the victory, the Seminoles will face NC State 1 p.m. Sunday. The game will air on ESPN2 and the Seminoles could win their first conference title since 2010.
FSU's recently sporadic hitting carried over into Saturday's contest as Seminoles freshman Drew Carlton and Louisville freshman Brendan McKay engaged in a pitcher's duel.

A spot in the ACC baseball championship will be on the line when FSU resumes tournament play at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park (NC.) on Saturday, May 23 at 11 a.m. against No. 1 seeded Louisville.
Fourth-seeded FSU is 2-0 in pool play. The Seminoles defeated No. 5 Clemson 3-1 on Wednesday and then beat No. 8 North Carolina 8-4 on Thursday.
After being swept at home by Clemson to wrap up the regular season, the Seminoles are counting on an impressive performance in the Atlantic Coast Conference Tournament to help them get back into the national seed discussion.
If FSU (2-0) defeats Louisville (1-1), it'll advance to the championship game, reopening that case. However, if the Seminoles lose they may be in some trouble.
A two-way tie goes to the winner of the head-to-head matchup, while a three-way tie goes to the team with the best overall conference winning percentage in the regular season. And Louisville's 25-5 ACC record tops both FSU's (17-13) and Clemson's (16-13), would it come to...Read more

This report demonstrates that climate change and its impacts are likely to alter a number of conditions that are material to the objectives of financial institutions. If changing conditions are not actively managed, investments and institutions may underperform. Most investments will be channeled through financial institutions. Given that the main effects of climate change are now well established, there is a considerable opportunity, as well as a responsibility, for these institutions to take a leading role in adaptation to climate change. Institutions managing investments in long-lived assets have both a direct financial risk to consider and the opportunity to create value by working proactively with their clients and other stakeholders to take steps to manage the risks. Several developmental and commercial financial institutions are already taking steps toward these goals. International Finance Corporation's Climate Risk Pilot Program has produced initial case studies that assess approaches to real-sector climate risk and adaptation, in addition to the present analysis of risks to financial institutions. Going forward, IFC will initiate the development of more general tools addressing climate risks and investments.

If the carbon stored in an afforestation or reforestation project is re-released, e.g. as a result of fire, the climate benefits of that project risk being reversed. This paper identifies the different physical risks to carbon stock reduction in forestry projects and options by which these physical risks, and associated economic risks, could be managed by project participants. This paper also examines eight different regimes that could be established to allocate credits generated by forestry CDM and JI projects. How these different crediting regimes are designed can determine whether credits generated by forestry projects represent real, measurable and long-term benefits and can also influence the economic impacts of premature carbon release from a project.

This short piece analyzes the background and content of the Copenhagen Accord on climate change, which was agreed to last December by leaders of roughly 25 countries, including all of the world's major economies. Although the Copenhagen Accord is a political rather than a legal instrument and has been criticized by some as inadequate or worse, it represents a potentially significant breakthrough. On one side, developed countries agreed to put significant new funds on the table for climate change mitigation and adaptation, both for the short and medium terms, and committed to implement national economy-wide emissions targets for the post -2012 period, which will be internationally listed. On the other side, developing countries agreed for the first time to reflect their national mitigation actions in an international instrument and to subject their actions to some form of international review. The failure of the conference as a whole to adopt the Accord leaves its future uncertain. But if the participating states actually carry through on what they negotiated in Copenhagen, the "bottom up" architecture of the Accord could help encourage and reinforce national actions. In any event, as the most that world leaders could accept through direct negotiations under an intense international spotlight, the Copenhagen Accord may well represent the high-water mark of the climate change regime for some time to come.

The big chill: does dust drive Earth's ice ages?
In the long run, these interplanetary motes may have profound consequences for Earth and its inhabitants. Two scientists propose, in a radical new theory, that dust from space caused the last 10 ice ages, which have gripped the planet like recurrent cases of the flu over the last million years.
"I suspect that to really understand the climate in general, we're going to have to take into account the presence of this extraterrestrial dust, which right now is being ignored," says Richard A. Muller, a physicist at the University of California, Berkeley who collaborated with Gordon J. MacDonald of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis in Laxenburg, Austria.
In proposing their hypothesis, Muller and MacDonald have, in effect, picked a fight with the scientific establishment. The theory challenges the accepted explanation of the ice ages, first proposed by Scotsman James Croll in the late 1800s and then expanded by Serbian mathematician Milutin Milankovitch early in this century. The so-called Milankovitch theory holds that periodic flutters in Earth's orbit drive the ice ages by altering the strength of sunlight hitting the north.
"We have shown there is a very serious problem with Milankovitch. I think it's the most serious challenge that has ever been mounted. It's not easy for them to handle this," says Muller of those who hold to the old model.
Muller's strong rhetoric and his unorthodox views have won few converts among climate scientists who specialize in the ice ages. At the same time, opponents arguing from the standard Milankovitch theory cannot easily dismiss his points. This leaves a major gap in knowledge about both how the climate worked in the past and how it may behave in the future.
The new theory focuses on a climatic conundrum called the 100,000-year problem: Why have the last 10 ice ages struck every 100 millennia or so? Muller and MacDonald claim that the standard theory fails to account for this behavior, whereas extraterrestrial dust does. They present their argument in the July 11 Science.
To understand the disagreement, it's important to go back to 1914, when strife in the Balkans dragged Europe into what would become World War I. Milankovitch, who was held as a prisoner of war by the Austro-Hungarian army that year, escaped from the surrounding chaos by immersing himself in the predictable and stately wiggles of Earth's orbit. He isolated two orbital effects that he thought had a major influence on climate.
The first was the tilt of Earth's rotation axis. Currently 23.5 [degrees], the axis bobs toward the vertical and then dips toward the horizontal every 41,000 years. During times of the greatest dip, the amount of sunlight falling on the North and South Poles increases during summer and decreases during winter, causing the seasons to become more extreme.
The second factor, orbital precession, describes the time of year in which Earth comes closest to the sun. Every 23,000 years, the planet's orbit carries it nearest the sun during the Northern Hemisphere's summer solstice, thereby strengthening the sunlight bathing the Arctic.
Milankovitch reasoned that the intensity of summer sunlight hitting the far north is critical to the creation of an ice age. When Earth's orbital cycles conspire to weaken summer sunlight near the Arctic Circle, snow can accumulate from one winter to the next. As the ice sheet spreads, its surface reflects sunlight back into space and cools the climate even further.
In 1976, a trio of oceanographers discovered support for Milankovitch's hypothesis in cores of mud pulled from the seafloor. James Hays and John Imbrie of Columbia University and Nicholas Shackleton of Cambridge University in England measured two oxygen isotopes whose ratio in the ooze reflects the amount of ice on Earth at the time the sediments fell to the ocean floor. This technique enabled them to date the ice ages over the last 500,000 years.
By analyzing the times at which the great ice sheets advanced and retreated, researchers could see hints that Earth's climate was following the beat of several long-term cycles running concurrently. The two most prominent cycles had periods of 41,000 and 23,000 years--the same periods displayed by the variation of orbital tilt and precession. Here at last was evidence supporting Milankovitch's contention that orbital processes played a major role in causing the ice ages.
At the same time, the oceanographers' work pointed out a major problem. In recent ice ages--those occurring in the past million years--the strongest pattern of ice sheet contraction and expansion was one with a period of about 100,000 years, something not anticipated by Milankovitch. Imbrie and his colleagues suggested that the 100,000-year cycle may have arisen from changes in orbital eccentricity, or the amount of distortion of Earth's path around the sun.
Every 100,000 years or so, the orbit varies from completely circular to slightly oval then back to circular. In a round orbit, Earth lies slightly farther, on average, from the sun.
Milankovitch had discounted eccentricity because the variations in the shape of Earth's orbit had a minuscule effect on the amount of sunlight hitting the planet. To explain how such a small flicker can cast such a large shadow, Imbrie and others have hypothesized that the eccentricity changes are somehow amplified by Earth itself. Some factors inherent in the climate must be particularly sensitive to that 100,000-year cycle and enhance it.
Many climate scientists suspect that the amplification stems from the behavior of the largest ice sheets--the time it takes them to grow and decay. The biggest glaciations have occurred only in the last million years, beginning precisely when the 100,000-year cycle kicked in. During earlier times, between 2.5 million and 1 million years ago, the dominant cycles of the ice ages' centered on periods of 41,000 and 23,000 years, just as Milankovitch had predicted. While the more recent ice ages turned out to be more complicated than Milankovitch had envisioned, climate scientists credit his general theory with explaining the timing of the ice ages. "The Milankovitch orbital changes are the pacemaker determining when the large ice sheets grow and decay," says Imbrie, now at Brown University in Providence, R.I.
Muller and MacDonald, however, thought they heard a different drummer setting the rhythm of the ice ages. When the two analyzed the pattern of glaciation for just the last million years, they uncovered something new. By reducing the ice-age variations to a series of frequencies, the scientists found that the dominant 100,000-year cycle was surprisingly exact. It formed a single sharp peak on their graph, with no hint of other frequencies playing a substantial role in the ice ages.
The standard model cannot explain this, they say, because orbital eccentricity varies in a complicated way, involving cycles with periods of 400,000 years and 125,000 years as well as the one close to 100,000. If eccentricity changes were driving the ice ages, all three separate beats should echo through the ice ages, but they do not.
While examining astronomical records, Muller happened on a different cycle that matched exclusively the 100,000-year pattern. The plane of Earth's orbit, he found, tilts gently with respect to the orbits of the other planets every 100,000 years. At times, Earth's orbit around the sun lines up with the plane of the solar system. At other times, Earth travels in a cockeyed orbit, its plane inclined 2.5 [degrees].
Muller and MacDonald surmise that when Earth's orbit reaches a certain plane, the planet plows through an extra-thick cloud of interplanetary dust. These small particles drift through the upper atmosphere and set in motion a series of climatic effects, perhaps blocking out sunlight, stimulating cloud growth, or weakening Earth's ozone layer. Such factors cool the planet enough to produce an ice age. Later, as the planet's orbit pulls out of the dust, the climate warms enough to fight back the ice.
Records of extraterrestrial dust offer some support for this hypothesis. Kenneth A. Farley of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena has measured the variations in helium-3--a tracer for extraterrestrial dust--in seafloor sediments. His studies show that helium-3 values swing up and down over a 100,000-year-long cycle, as Muller and MacDonald predict.
What's more, the amount of helium-3 increased markedly between 2 million and I million years ago. This may explain why the 100,000-year climate cycle did not dominate before then, says Farley.
One interpretation of these findings is that large asteroids collided around a million years ago, creating a rich supply of dust that filled the inner solar system. Prior to that time, the ice ages were governed by the regular Milankovitch factors of orbital tilt and precession. When the dust appeared, it overwhelmed the other factors, making ice ages larger and longer.
The dust data do not totally support Muller and MacDonald's idea, however. "These variations in dust amount are quite small; at most, they go up and down by a factor of 3 to 5. I'm skeptical that such variations could change the climate. We're only looking at a little bit of extraterrestrial dust," says Farley.
Even more troubling is the question of how the dust alters climate. While Muller and MacDonald have general ideas, they lack a solid hypothesis to explain how adding dust to the upper atmosphere could plunge the planet into an ice age. "That is what we're most severely criticized for. We do a lot of hand waving at this point. There are many possibilities, but we don't have a good mechanism," says Muller.
When Muller and MacDonald came up with their dust theory in 1993, they had a hard time getting climate scientists to listen. Last year, Wallace S. Broecker of the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, N.Y., invited Muller to present his case to the top researchers interested in the ice ages. Broecker dubbed the meeting the "Mullerfest," and the discussions continued for weeks via E-mail.
Muller scored the most points at the meeting when he attacked a standard technique, called tuning, that oceanographers use for dating layers in sediment cores. The task of dating these strata is difficult because sediments may accumulate more quickly during some eras and more slowly in others. To tell the age of layers between known benchmarks, researchers often use the Milankovitch orbital cycles to tune the sediment record: They assume that ice volume should vary with the orbital cycles, then line up the wiggles in the sediment record with ups and downs in the astronomical record.
"This whole tuning procedure, which is used extensively, has elements of circular reasoning in it," says Muller. He argues that tuning can artificially make the sediment record support the Milankovitch theory.
Muller's criticisms hit home with many researchers. "He scared the hell out of them, and they deserved it," says Broecker.
Oceanographers soon rose to the challenge. In the August Paleoceanography, Maureen E. Raymo of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology presents an untuned sediment record that corroborates the ice age dates determined by tuning.
To get at the causes of the ice ages, Raymo takes a different approach. Instead of doing frequency analysis to pick out the cycles in the record, she looks at the actual timing of the ice ages: their beginnings, endings, and the intervals between each. She finds that ice ages don't come like clockwork every 100,000 years. Instead, they seem to hit sporadically, sometimes ending 85,000 years apart, other times 125,000 years apart.
What is consistent is that the ice ages almost always end when Milankovitch's orbital cycles combine to warm the northern lands during summertime, as the mathematician hypothesized 80 years ago.
Still, nobody can explain satisfactorily how Earth's climate amplifies the changes in sunlight to drive the ice ages of the last million years. Until the theory is complete, At leaves the door open to challengers.
"It's not clear what is causing this cycle in the last million years. I would say it is one of the great puzzles of earth sciences," says George H. Denton, a glacial geologist at the University of Maine in Orono.
Most climate researchers do not think that extraterrestrial dust, will provide the answer, but Imbrie, a longtime supporter of the Milankovitch hypothesis, says that Muller and MacDonald's concept may have some merit. It is possible that Earth's climate could respond to the unsteady orbital plane as well as to the kinds of astronomical twitches that preoccupied Milankovitch, he says. "These are not mutually exclusive ideas. Nature doesn't always follow a neat little paradigm."

Repercussions from the dark side's fatal seduction of Jacen Solo and the mysterious plague of madness afflicting young Jedi continue to wreak havoc galaxy-wide. Luke and Ben Skywalker are in pursuit of the now masterless Sith apprentice Vestara Khai. It is a chase that leads to the forbidding planet Dathomir.
Meanwhile, Han and Leia Solo are on their own desperate mission, shuttling madness-stricken Jedi from Coruscant to safe haven in the Transitory Mists—and beyond the grasp of Galactic Alliance Chief of State Natasi Daala. But the bold maneuver only intensifies Daala's fury.
Yet no greater threat exists than that which still waits in the depths of the distant Maw Cluster: A being of pure, ravenous dark-side energy named Abeloth calls out across the stars to Jedi and Sith alike. For some it may be the ultimate source of answers crucial to their survival. For others it could be the ultimate weapon of conquest. But for all, it is a game-changing—and life-altering—encounter and a tactical gambit with unimaginable consequences.

Scor Third-Quarter Profit Increases 70% on Transamerica Business
Nov. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Scor SE, France's largest reinsurer, said third-quarter profit rose 70 percent, helped by the mortality-risk business gained through the acquisition of Transamerica Re.
Net income climbed to 188 million euros ($254 million) from 111 million euros a year earlier, the Paris-based company said today in a statement. Gross written premiums rose 15 percent to 2.01 billion euros in the period.
"The finalization of the Transamerica Re mortality portfolio acquisition in the third quarter, which gives the group a new dimension in the life-reinsurance market, has helped Scor to accelerate toward the implementation of its strategic plan."
Scor, which completed the $912.5 million acquisition of Transamerica from Aegon NV in August, said in September it expects annual sales of 10 billion euros in 2013.

Biography All Music GuideWikipedia
All Music Guide:
Columbia's Andrea Echeverri is best known as the outspoken leader of the Grammy-winning Latin alt-rock/trip-hop outfit Aterciopelados; she's also a Latina who sideswipes stereotypes by leaning more toward Cat Power than Christina Aguilera musically. For all her feminist fire and subversiveness, though -- upon the formation of Aterciopelados in 1990, the pierced and tattooed Echeverri stunned her conservative country by singing a song about her unwillingness to ruin her silhouette by having children -- her voice is renowned for its enveloping purr and warmth. The name Aterciopelados, aptly, translates as "the velvety ones" and is taken from a poem by Simone de Beauvoir -- a hint at both the high-mindedness and social consciousness of Echeverri and her collaborator in Aterciopelados, Héctor Buitrago. Musically, Aterciopelados' albums run a range from folky to funky; hippie-ish North African grooves fuse pleasingly with electronica, and traditional Latin sounds bump up against American pop/rock. The eclectic sound earned Echeverri and Buitrago a wider following in the U.S. upon the release of the widely acclaimed Gozo Poderoso in 2001. Though Aterciopelados was still an active, touring band in 2005 with plans to continue recording, Echeverri again asserted her independent spirit that year by releasing a solo project. Buzz about Andrea Echeverri spread quickly, with the consensus being that it is likely the sexiest album about motherhood ever recorded. The set, broken into two parts thematically, one called "From the Cradle" and the other "From the Bed," explores Echeverri's relationship with her two-year-old daughter first, then delves into the joy of parenting with a committed partner. A song about breast-feeding incorporating the jingle-jangle sounds of nursery toys in the first section flows freely into a serene ode to familial, long-term love in the second. That the songs are sung in Spanish seems to have mattered little to Echeverri's English-speaking listeners. Praise for its lushness and freshness poured in universally, ringed in hopes that further solo outings will follow.
Andrea Echeverri (born 13 September 1965) is a Colombian rock/pop singer and guitarist. She is the lead singer in Aterciopelados where she also plays the acoustic guitar. Echeverri has long captivated audiences with her potently melodic brand of feminism. In March 2005 her debut solo album "Andrea Echeverri" was released by Nacional Records, a label focused on promoting the best in Latin alternative music. Andrea is of Basque descent.^ "Fémina Rock: Mujeres de Armas Tomar" El Mundo (25 July 2001) Retrieved 05 June 2010
Andrea Echeverri (album)[edit]
After the critical and commercial success of 2001's Gozo Poderoso, which landed Aterciopelados on the Top 10 of the Billboard Top Latin Albums Sales chart as well as a coveted appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Echeverri took time off for the birth of her first child Milagros, who has proven to be a new point of artistic inspiration. The result is the self-titled album Andrea Echeverri, her first solo release. The disc was produced by Hector Buitrago from Aterciopelados and mixed by Thom Russo (Juanes, Kinky, Johnny Cash), and also features a remix from Richard Blair (Sidestepper).
On "A Eme O", the album's upbeat first single, Echeverri sings "Since you were born, I've become a better lover. Its as if you've unplugged my tubes." On the chill-out lullaby track "Baby Blues" (which was featured in the soundtrack for the film La mujer de mi hermano), she observes the bond between mother and daughter as Milagros cries late at night. "Some songs are written for Milagros, but they sound like they're written for a lover," said Andrea. Going ever further, she satirizes the highly sexualized lyrics of the Colombian genre called champeta, naming one of the albums tracks "Lactochampeta". "It's kind of a joke, because it has explicit lyrics about lactating," muses Andrea.
Performances and Projects[edit]
A series of tour dates followed the album's release, including headlining the Latin Alternative Music Conference's Women Who Rock concert in front of 10,000 people at the Santa Monica Pier in Los Angeles, as well as the La Banda Elastica Magazine Awards.
In December 2007 Echeverri exhibited her ceramic works at the Feria del Libro in Guadalajara, Mexico, where she also performed with Aterciopelados.
In 2005 the album "Andrea Echeverri" was nominated for a Latin Grammy Award for "Best Female Pop Vocal Album." The album was nominated for a Grammy Award for "Best Latin Pop Album" in 2006.
For the MTV-LA Awards in 2005, Echeverri was nominated in four categories, winning for "Best New Artist – Central."
In 2006 the album received two nominations for the Premios Lo Nuestro Awards – "Rock Album of the Year" and "Song of the Year" for the single "A Eme O."
Echeverri is currently working and performing with Hector Buitrago in their group Aterciopelados. Their album "Oye," released by Nacional Records in 2006 was awarded a Latin Grammy for "Best Alternative Album" in November 2007. Their latest album is "Rio" which released in October 2008.

The Goldfish say "Fins Up" for this one
posted 6 years ago
I have used many Tetra Products over the years and have been pretty satisfied with them.
Although flakes are not my favorite for "Goldfish" food,I do give them to the fish once or twice a week.The Goldfish love them,and the fish that reside along with the Goldies are normally thrilled to get a flake or two.
Price is reasonable,the flakes seem pretty healthy,and as long as you're not overfeeding(a big mess),it's a good all around fish food.
Pros: easy to find,affordable,fish like them
Cons: none unless you over feed

OH, what memories
posted 7 years ago
One of the first things I learned about caring for another creature and having the responsibility for that creature was feeding a gold fish. Seeing this product brought back a memory I had forgotten about. I can still see that food floating on the water and my mother telling me not to give them too much. I would also give them a little more when she wasn't looking. Shame on me.
Pros: This product brought back great memories
Cons: none

Happy Fish
posted 6 years ago
This is the food that I used to feed to my Koi's before I changed them over to Tetra Pond Pellets. I tried to give them Wardley flakes once when the store was out of the Tetra brand and they practically starved themselves for some reason. My fish really are Tetra fish.
Pros: My fish loved it
Cons: none

Great news, always improving, non stop! Also keep an eye on what the authors think trough the forum, both things go hand by hand!
i'm having hard time to spot the difference..
AbelLangbid said
i'm having hard time to spot the difference..
The difference is – it is sufficient to make the authors to update their description images. Still maintains same BG color for eyes. Hex color #D2D1D0 becomes #D2D1CF. The mathematical difference is just 1, can't this change avoided while designing?
The difference in tab design – is not even important to make an announcement about these kind of changes.
The survey is useless, since the vast majority of authors not even see these forums.
All summarizes: Less efforts towards understanding the usability – more efforts spent on announcing and getting feedback from few authors from survey. We need the staffs to "understand" the obvious requirements rather than just gathering data through a disceret set of users.
Do a freakin shopping cart please….
AbelLangbid said
i'm having hard time to spot the difference..
ah, yes. That was me also , but then I read the thread. Apparently the change is in the way the tabs on item page look. They stop being tabs and become just text. And if I'm not mistaken also the fonts are changed (or maybe is a screenshot from a different browser)
About the background change, I've verified the upload page and see that for thumbnails is possible to upload PNG. I have no idea when this become possible and don't know why do I still use jpg as thumbnails. I will update them as soon as possible.
just a question.
if the tabs are removed from items page it is probably true also that they will be removed from other areas where they show up now, no? Like dashboard, or forum
jonathan01 said
Just wondering, but who decided to remove the tabs? Seems like an odd choice for usability as I don't see an indication of a link there compared to regular text? How would a user know they are links to click? They just look like floating words.. no underlines, nothing around them, not a different color? Jonathan
+1, I mean, I was like 'wtf are those?' looking at the sneakpeak.
justinfrench said
[...] There's one more thing… We'd like to lighten the background color.
For God's sake…

The Electronic Libraries programme (eLib) resulted from the recommendations in chapter 7 of the Joint Funding Councils' Libraries Review Group, chaired by Sir Brian Follett. This Group reviewed libraries and related provision in higher education in the UK, and was commissioned jointly by the four UK HE funding bodies, HEFCE, SHEFC, HEFCW and DENI. Its report (known as the Follett report) was published in December 1993. The programme had £15,000,000 of funding over three years. The aim of eLib was to 'transform the use and storage of knowledge in higher education institutions'. It was managed by the JISC's Committee on Electronic Information, though the JISC committee which was set up initially to take forward the Follett recommendation was the Follett Implementation Group for Information Technology, FIGIT. Phase 3 was designed to build on successes and to have four components: 1) hybrid libraries; 2) large scale resource discovery, or clumps; 3) preservation; 4) turning early projects into services. An (unmaintained) archive of eLib programme and project information can currently be found on the UKOLN website. (Excerpt from this source)

COLUMBUS, Ohio Wealthy nations willing to collectively spend about $1 billion annually could prevent the emission of roughly half a billion metric tons of carbon dioxide per year for the next 25 years, new research suggests.
It would take about that much money to put an end to a tenth of the tropical deforestation in the world, one of the top contributors to greenhouse gas emissions, researchers estimate.
If adopted, this type of program could have potential to reduce global carbon emissions by between 2 and 10 percent.
The calculation is one of several estimates described by a team of scientists and economists this week in the online edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The calculations, based on three different forestry and land-use models, provide the best estimates so far of how much it would cost developed nations to participate in a program called "avoided deforestation" to reduce worldwide carbon emissions.
Under such a program, wealthy nations would help achieve reduced emissions globally by paying landowners in developing nations not to cut down wide swaths of forested land to make way for agricultural uses. Tropical deforestation, the cutting and burning of trees to convert land to grow crops and raise livestock, accounts for about a fifth of all human-caused carbon emissions in the world.
The research attaches estimated dollar amounts to each metric ton of carbon that could be saved through avoided deforestation in Africa, Central and South America, and Southeast Asia.
Based on these estimates, the overall cost to buy carbon credits would be lower than what developed nations would expect to pay to reduce emissions through regulation of industry, transportation and energy sources, said Brent Sohngen, a study co-author and professor of agricultural, environmental and development economics at Ohio State University.

"Stacking" is a practice that permits a party injured in a car accident, after recovering any available insurance policy proceeds from the party responsible for the accident (which failed to fully compensate him for his damages), to seek recovery from his insurer based on the cumulative uninsured/underinsured coverage limits in his multi-vehicle insurance policy.
Illinois courts have found that stacking can be appropriate when an insurance policy is ambiguous concerning the uninsured/underinsured coverage that it provides. This ambiguity normally occurs when the policy's declarations page lists such coverage for several vehicles, each with separately listed uninsured/underinsured coverage limits and premiums.
