I smelled this today actually and was going to post about it. It is a real disappointment to say the very least about it. I have tolerated some real synthetic rushed jobs before but this I cannot say anything good about. It is a warm, synthetic marine accord with a fruit note of mango or something akin. I've smelt axe bod sprays worthy of more praise.
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
Nautica has digressed since the days of competition which I rather liked as well as the original. Voyage was ok in the distant drydown but I couldn't wade the sickly sweet marine notes to get there. Oceans does not resemble any previous creations from this line so thats a positive--it tries to have it's own unique identity but fails miserably.

Curse you people and your Macy's!
SA at Dillards told me about it tonight, showed the preview, but had no more samples. I have to wait until "by April" to even smell it.
I am very interested in the idea of it having (according to the SA) absolutely no alcohol involved. And environmentally friendly is always a plus.
Wowww....Another marine scent....like another one is needed...Geesh man.

"Nautica Oceans – Eco-friendly Scent Made with Water-based New Tech
11/21/08 15:08:48Nautica in cooperation with Coty Beauty introduces their new fragrance Oceans, which is due to appear on the market in March 2009. Oceans represents a fragrant journey created by a special technology, based on water and rounded with fresh, green ingredients.
It is interesting that ingredients and packaging are biodegradable, which suggests that creators paid attention on preserving the environment. Perfumer of the house of Coty, Michel Mane was in charge of composition of perfume Oceans, which is water-based and allows for a concentrated oil load of up to 20 percent to be built into it, thanks to a new technology.
Such concentrations contained two to three per cent of oil so far, but Oceans contains 10%. This technology decreases skin drying and irritation to a great measure, when talking about alcohol-free fragrances like Oceans.
Oceans has top notes of ocean air and lemon tonic; a heart of sea salt rose, lavender reef and geranium, and a drydown of amber crystals, sun-drenched teak and regatta accord. The fragrance is constructed as an aquatic fougere.
The flacon is created as a signal flag, crowned with a silver stopper which has logo of the brand engraved in the top, designed as cleat on a sailboat. Theme of ecology which follows this edition, includes outer packaging being made of 30% recycled materials and can be recycled further (100%)."
(Women's Wear Daily)
Looks like it comes in a beautiful heavy glass bottle, like Voyage.

Oh yeah?! I finally smelled it! It smells GOOOD! What're you guys talking about? I did a side-by-side sniff with Aqua di Gio and discovered the Oceans is overall just more pleasant and inviting to the nose!
Try the AdG and Oceans side-by-side sniff, 4 second break, and you'll see what I mean.
it is GREAT!
i hope to see it soon on stores... but what about longevity , the fragance stay away from alcohol.. is not light ?
Why did they only use a load of 10% instead of the full 20% in oils????
It's better than most other aquatics. It's a "muted" lemony/aquatic/calone scent, not sharp or shrill at all, dare I say it's slightly warm. It does not smell like Erolfa, but the muted thickness of the olfactory texture is closer to the texture of erolfa than other designer aquatics. It has a taste of Dior homme Sport's citrus/fresh/powder type of note, as well as some slight resemblance to Bvlgari aqua Marine, and L'Eau Par Kenzo ph, of course warmer than both. These associations are just loose descriptive terms, and even though it smells "common", I can't tie it down as extremely similar to any one scent. The longevity is fairly good. I can't say I'd Buy a bottle, as I wouldn't buy a bottle of L'eau Par Kenzo or Erolfa, much less wierd bad "diaper in the pool" aquatics like Profumum's. Original Bvlgari Aqva still holding the aquatic crown easily.

Oh and if I had to guess the composition: Calone and Ambroxan crystals are the stars, with Citronellol (long lasting sour lemon basenote) and some geraniol thrown in too.
Well do the sniff-to-sniff comparison with Aqua di Gio and you'll know that overall it smells just nicer and better. That's what i noticed.
The bottle is hella nice, solid, bold hold, and seems of high-quality. Def. better than AdG's cheap looking bottle.

Wanting to smell this, I hit two Macy's and neither had it in yet.
This new scent is the business!!! So good! Nothing like the other aquatics out at all. I have. Purchased a full sized bottle as well as after shave. Its very marine off the top then dries down very floral but stll retains that essence of clean. The bottle is heavy and nice. I love it. Leaps and bounds beyond every new aquatic out.
^black do you like it better than Aqua di Gio? I did...it just smells nicer. That salt note is pretty good.

How does it compare to Nautica Voyage?
I thought its better. the salt note is just unique and makes it great.
no, its kinda hard to describe. i didn't like b. aqua, barely smelled anything. Oceans' scent is reflective of the title, smells like an ocean breeze but a little more sensual/unique too. it's weird but in a good way i guess.
I have: Davidoff Relax, Dior Homme Sport, Boss Selection, Azzaro Visit, and Creed MI (will provide # on bottle for verification) available.
Looking for the following: DG The One, Himalaya, YSL L'Homme, John Varvatos (not vintage) Canali For Men or Paypal.
On the final drydown, it proceeds to a softer scent, that reminds me of the baby wipes note I dislike in Burberry Brit, but I like it more here in Oceans. It's not noxcema/diaper like in Aqua Di Sale (which I disliked), but a softer, very clean scent. Maybe I was wrong about citronellol, because I don't smell any sour lemon in the final drydown. (which takes a while due to better than expected longevity)

I ahbor AcDG so yes this scent trumps armani . The salt note is brilliant. As far as comparing it to voyage.. Voyage is more floral in its composition and reminds me a little of Chrome . Voyage bored me after awhile.this new scent is something different definitely a keeper
water emulsion is an AWFUL idea.

My Macy's doesn't have it yet. Aangh. I'm tempted to order a 1.7 from the website.
I'm not gonna touch that!
I was able to sample this today and I guess those Ambroxan Crystals gave the down dry on me a very powdery finish and that turned me off from this. *sigh*
I tried it today, and didn't really like it. I'm a fan of Nautica Blue and White Sail. I like Voyage okay, although I thought it was nothing special. I LOVE Bulgari Aqua, and didn't think Oceans was anything like Aqua.
On me, the opening was VERY similar to CK Eternity, which isn't totally a bad thing. The dry down is quite different though. I agree that it was a little powdery smelling. However, I really thought it smelled a lot like tobacco, even though I know there is no tobacco in it. Didn't like this phase of it at all.
Since I like other Nautica fragrances, it was worth a try, but I won't be buying this one.
on a side note, I concur with your opinion that Aqua is the king of aquatics. It deserves its own masterpiece thread.

^That would be a good argument if this were a traditional water emulsion.
Maybe you didn't read, but this is not a traditional water/oil emulsion.
Coty has a two year patent on the new science that led to this new technique.
Time will tell if it is completely 100% void of this drawback.
I'll just wait until next week when they carry it at marshalls
I went to Elder-Beerman in Paducah and was actually pretty surprised to see this one. Given how the other Nautica fragrances are I have a surprising label to attach to this one: Minimalist. It's very faint, very muted, and I was intrigued with that aspect. The paper was interesting enough to spray on my arm and I was racking my brain over what I was smelling. It took 2 or 3 hours when it hit me. It was the citrus that was throwing me off the trail. They followed the footsteps of Hanae Mori HM in adding citrus to an already popular scent.
So what is Nautica Oceans? Mugler Cologne with a citrus top. And it's not bad at all. Not for a while, anyway, the drydown is a bit more powdery than MC and that's never been my thing. But, it's a pretty interesting scent, I like it more than the other Nauticas I've tried.
Twitter - @DanielTharp
DanielTharp.com has additional reviews and commentary.
Always be content with what you have, never be content with what you are.
Hmm, if Elder-Beerman has it then perhaps Younkers does too. I"ll have to make the drive out there and check. I'm really interested in this one as I am really in need of another light/fresh/aquatic scent for the summer.
What is the character of the powder.. does it smell like baby powder or is it just powdery in texture, kind of like Fleur Du Male's drydown which to me smells orange blossomy but with a powdery texture, if that makes sense?
Is there a noticeable ambergris note in the drydown? I'd love something kind of like Live Jazz minus the cilantro note.

WHat about nautica longitude?
how does it compare
Off-Site Decants =) (updated 05/16/12)
You cant compare it to LL becuase that fragrance was in a whole different category. It was more of a fresh spicy woody fragrance .it had loads of black pepper and smelled awful. I remember wearing it and sneezing continously. It also came out nine years ago and was really geared towards the younger crowd.Oceans is way more innovative in the sense that the smell is not juvenile and the idea behind it is very forward. the fragrance itself is fresher , with better ingredients and actually is quite comfy to wear. LL was ok but not a hit. try them both and you will see what I mean. LL, nothing but black pepper.My mom said i smelled like an old man! ewwwwwwwa not the business.

I think someone should do the Aqua di Gio and Nautica Oceans side-by-side comparison as I've been mentioning. Squirt them on 2 paper slips, and have a 4 second sniff interval between the two, and see what I mean. Oceans just smells nicer I think. has anyone done this yet?
I was rather dissapointed that Sunset Voyage got very little recognition. I mean, it's no master piece but I found it unique and fresh.
Anyone else smell this or want to comment on it further?
Any fans of Erolfa like it, or see it as a possible substitute for Erolfa?

They are completely different fragrances. I am not usually a Creed booster, but this case the quality of the Creed far outshines what is to my nose totally derivative, boring, and generic smelling effort from Nautica.
I could elaborate, but that is my general impression.
Haikus are easy
But do not always make sense
My swaps and sales are now listed here:
And here (just search for Slim):
I tried it at Macy's a couple of days ago.
Oceans is a bright, ethereal, slightly salty scent, rather japanese in spirit, which strikes me as a spin off of White Sail, the other Nautica fragrance that I like. It has an ozonic air reminiscent of L'eau par Kenzo. It's quite linear, like Voyage, and had excellent longetivity on my skin despite its innovative water-based composition.
While we're on the subject and the big surprise for me, which no one has mentioned, is the refreshing feeling that the spray had going on my skin. Qualitatively different from the usual alcohol-based spritz. I like it. It's a kind of light and natural "soft cool" rather than the usual "hot cool" of an alcohol forumulation.
The fragrance itself has what I'll call a tonic accord, a bit of bitter quinine sparkle supporting the citrus and "ocean botanicals." The touch of wood in the base, which Nautica describes, metaphorically I assume, as teak, evokes the wood in a sailing vessel or at a marina. The amber crystal does a pretty good job of replicating the natural ambergris that completes the excursion.
Overall the fragrance is a refreshing, misty acquatic, a bright powdery sky, with a chilly current running through the fragrance with some seasoned wood in the base. I don't generally favor aquatic/marine fragrances, but I'll get this one... together with Oceans' water-based construction and distinctive marine accords, Nautica may have set a new standard of authenticity for the genre.
The bottle is swwweet. Heavy clear glass, with a sailing cleat-inspired cap.

i need to try it.. seems to be a better option to the upcoming warm days.. thanx for you comments !
I don't know what you guys are smelling! Tried it last night, this is the first frag I have encountered with NO smell. Sprayed it on a card, sniffed, no smell. Sprayed it on another card, nope. Then I doused a card with it, handed it to a friend, "smells like paper". Put it on my arm, smells like my skin. What are you guys smelling!!??
Giving this a full wearing from 5 spritzes in the store. Definitely not a substitute for Erolfa as I'd hoped, but it could be a substitute for Allure Homme Edition Blanche. They are really *quite* similar, with a heavy emphasis on powdery lemon, although I enjoy Oceans more as AHEB has a tendency for teh grapefruit to get a bit sulfuric/urinous.
It's very smooth and well blended with a salty lemon opening, which gradually softens as a gentle and sligthly powdery lavender note (heavy on the coumarin, which gives it an almost tonka like feel) comes in and rounds it off.
A very enjoyable scent. A less expensive alternative to AHEB for sure. Longevity is ok (4-6 hours I'm guessing based on how much it has faded after about 3), and sillage is quite good although it can be easy to lose track of the scent since it is light and airy. Still, 3 hours after I applied it I can still smell it clearly.
It doesn't smell particularly synthetic to me. As I said, it smells quite similar to AHEB, and I'd say it smells just as natural as well (if you though AHEB smelled natural, that is ).

I tested this a week and a half ago at Macy's. Nice and different... very salty, yet smooth.
But almost no longevity whatsoever on my skin... 1-2 hours max. Must be that "breakthrough water-base technology". I'll stick to alcohol-based fragrances that actually last on my skin.

My mission statement: "I am not afraid to keep on living - I am not afraid to walk this world alone."
Well, I started with one spray, decided I didn't hate it and then went back for the other four.
What didn't you like about it?
Also, does anyone else detect the - imo, many - similarities to Allure Homme Edition Blanche?

definitely into this new fragrance. it smells so smooth and fresh. I think Nautica did a fantastic job with this one. i wish they would kill off all the other older nauticas and just stick with whats grand. The classic nautica is ok but dated and every other flanker of Voyage has been lackluster. Oceans, I feel will be a success. So what if ends up at Marshals. Doesnt mean its not quality. trust me Tom Ford and all these so called amazing niche scents are now being found at marshalls too.
I'm glad you, and several others, liked this one. Like I said, I'm a Nautica fan, so I want them to do well. I wear Blue and White Sail often. The top notes of Oceans I liked quite a bit. It reminded me of CK Eternity. The dry down I didn't like at all. Too powdery for my taste. And it almost smelled like tobacco (like raw tobacco leaves) on me, which I don't like either.
Then when I got home, my wife said it stunk. So that was enough for me. Some fragrances, no matter how good they are, just don't work on certain people I guess. This one is that way for me.
Azzaro Chrome was another, and it does smell nice on others. It was even worse than Oceans. It turned to an aweful metallic smell on me. Living up to the Chrome name I guess. Anyway, I had to find a bathroom in the store to try to wash it off. Couldn't get rid of it.
this fragrance is SOOOOOO faint! I am afraid to say anything about it, because I think i might have a dud. There is barely any scent to it whatsoever. I get a TAD bit of citrus at the top and a slight hint (VERY SLIGHT) hint of salty, oceanic woods... But, this is SO faint! I have to almost DIG for the slight amount of fragrance..
I am scared that my nose might be broken, or I bought a dud with no fragrance in it...
SOMEONE HELP! Is is just me or?

Whether it's "incorrectly" or not is up to the eye of the beholder, and FWIW README.distribution is serving neither side of the grammar.

'World's Largest Wine Auction' Goes Online Through eBay, Realm Connect And icollector.com.
Online Through eBay Live Auctions
Early Bird Holiday Shoppers to Stock Up on Wines
SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 10 /PRNewswire/ --
On September 15 and 16, over one million bottles of wine valued at over $10 million will be available for a live auction event taking place in Napa, California and online through the new wine category on eBay Live Auctions (www.ebayliveauctions.com) and through icollector.com (www.icollector.com). AuctioNet (www.auctionet.com), a division of Realm Connect, is the seller of the wine on eBay and the company conducting the 'World's Largest Wine Auction.'
(Photo: NewsCom: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/19990423/EBAYLOGO )
"We're very excited to make this unprecedented worldwide wine auction available online through eBay Live Auctions and icollector.com," said Nuri Otus, CEO & Chief Auctioneer of AuctioNet. "With the eBay Live Auction tool, thousands of potential bidders worldwide can participate in our live event without traveling to the beautiful Napa Valley. All bidders need to do is register online at ebayliveauctions.com, browse the catalog, leave an absentee bid or place bids during the live event."
The wine offered will be appealing to a broad range of buyers, ranging from table wines to nearly $1 million worth of fine and rare wines. The extraordinary "gem wines" include such desirable notables as 1945 Chateau Lafitte Rothschild, 1921 Chateau d'Yquem, Domaine Leroy Clos de Vougeot and more. In addition, champagne from Alain Robert and Cristal will be available. There will also be a wide variety of wine accessories such as Reidel wine glasses, beautiful wine decanters, wine racks and a number of special gift packages. Lots range in size from one or a few bottles to commercial quantities. All the wine has been stored in a temperature-controlled environment without interruption and is in prime condition for sale.
"icollector.com is the independent online connection to hundreds of prestigious auction houses, dealers and galleries from around the world.

WALTHAM, Mass., March 4, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The National Biomedical Research Foundation has awarded a $1.3M grant to Bentley University to establish a Center for Integration of Science and Industry, under the direction of Dr. Fred Ledley, Professor of Natural & Applied Sciences and Management. The mission of the Center will be to understand the process involved in scientific discovery leading to public value, and accelerate this process by engaging science and industry in interdisciplinary dialogue, scholarship, and education.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130219/DC61345LOGO)
"We are living in a golden age of scientific discovery," said Dr. Ledley, "and the public expects that these discoveries will create a better future by providing advances such as new treatments for disease, clean energy, improved crops, good jobs, and economic growth. Industry, however, is often unable to effectively integrate new scientific potentials with existing business practices. As a result, organizations often struggle to translate scientific discoveries into successful products and sustainable businesses.
The initial focus of the Center is to promote innovative business models for the biopharmaceutical industry that could accelerate the development of novel therapeutic products, such as monoclonal antibodies or gene therapy, and improve economic returns.
The grant will also support Bentley undergraduate students who are interested in conducting research relevant to the Center's mission

The alwar or azhwars (Tamil: ஆழ்வார்கள், āzvārhaḷ [aːɻʋaːr], 'those immersed in god') were Tamil poet saints of south India who lived between the sixth and ninth centuries A.D. and espoused 'emotional devotion' or bhakti to Visnu-Krishna in their songs of longing, ecstasy and service.[1] Sri Vaishnava orthodoxy posits the number of alvars as ten, though there are other references that include Andal and madhurakavi, making the number twelve.[2] The devotional outpourings of Alvars, composed during the early medieval period of Tamil history, helped revive the bhakti movement, through their hymns of worship to Vishnu and his Avatars. They praised 108 of this deity's holy abodes in their hymns, known as the Divya Desams. Together with the contemporary sixty three Saiva Nayanars, they are accounted as South India's 75 Apostles of Bhakti because of their importance in the rise of the Hindu Bhakti movement. The collection of their hymns is known as Divya Prabandha.
The Bhakti literature that sprang from Alvars has contributed to the establishment and sustenance of a culture that broke away from the ritual-oriented Vedic religion and rooted itself in devotion as the only path for salvation. In addition they helped to make the Tamil religious life independent of a knowledge of Sanskrit. [3] As part of the legacy of the Alvars, five Vaishnava philosophical traditions (sampradayas) have developed at the later stages.[4]
Alvars or 'Azhwars' literally means 'people who are immersed'. They are so called because they were immersed in their devotion and love to their Lord, Vishnu. .[5] However recently S.Palaniappan has argued that what was originally Āļvār got changed through hyper correction and folk etymology to Āzhvār.[6] Palaniappan cites inscriptional evidence for a gradual sound change from āļvār to āzhvār over a period of two centuries from the 9th century to the 11th century involving references to religious leaders in Vaishnavism, Shaivism and even Jainism and to political personalities. He states: "āzhvār is but a corrupt form of āļvār which has been used interchangeably with nāyanār in secular and religious contexts in the Tamil land" and "... Notwithstanding the Vaishnava claim of unbroken teacher-student tradition, the fact that Nathamuni has used the form āļvār but Piļļān [A disciple and younger cousin of Rāmānuja] ended up using the form āzhvār suggests that there has been an error in transmission somewhere along the teacher-student chain between the two teachers. This error was obviously due to the influence of the sound variation that has occurred in the Srirangam area and elsewhere"
The twelve Alvars were all inspired and ardent devotees who transmitted their divine infatuation to millions. They have left behind an imperishable legacy of devotional Tamil poetry - naalaayira Divya Prabhandham (considered to be the essence of the Vedas, in Tamil, and all in praise of Lord Vishnu). These have been rarely equalled either in quantity or in quality ever after.
The one held in greatest esteem among the Alvars is Nammalvar. He lived during the ninth century CE.[7] His contribution to the four thousand prabandhams is as many as 1352. His hymns are considered by the Vaishnavites to contain the essence of the Vedas. His works - Thiruvasiriyam, Thiruviruttam, Periya Thiruvandhadhi correspond to the Yajur, Rig and Atharva Vedas respectively. His other work Thiruvaaimozhi (Divine words) is one of the key works of Vaishnavism.
Periyalvar delighted in worshipping Vishnu as mother, and composed 440 verses treating himself as Yashoda and Narayana as Krishna. He also talks about the beauty of the Lord Krishna right from his birth. Apart from these compositions, Sri Periyazhwar has also composed hymns on various divya desams. Andal, daughter of Periyalvar, has attributed the Tiruppaavai, a most beautiful collection of 30 verses giving expression to the purest love of God. It is considered to be equivalent to Vedas.
Thirumangai Alvar has done mangalasasanam (sung in praise) of maximum number of Divya Desams.
The last acharya of the Thenkalai Guruparampara, Sri Manavalamuni has composed " Upadesa Rathnamalai" a hymn of 72 verses where talks and praises the Azhwars about their birthstars, place of birth and also about their compositions.
For a detailed list of number of paasurams of all Alvars on each Divyadesam: Mangalasasanam by Divyadesam
The revered alvars came from all castes, a symbolic notion in Vaishnavism to show that devotion to God transcends above caste. Nammalvar, or Satakopan, belonged to the Vellala caste. Thirumangai Alvar belonged to the Kallara tribe. Thirumalisai Alvar was originally born to a Brahmin community but was raised by Peerambu vetiyan (one who makes use of bamboo for living) caste. Thiruppaan Alvar belonged to Panar caste, Kulashekhara was a King from Kerala. Vishnu Chittar, or Periyalvar, was a Brahmin.
The following tables shows the place, century and star of birth of each Alvar. The Traditional Datings of Alwars have been contested by the historians as in case of many Indian Works and the British trained historians place the dates as follows.Traditional datings take them to the age of Sukhaacharya(srimad Bhagvatam)who while delivering the work to parrekshit spake of Alvars as vaishnavaite saints and many are from dwapura yuga,while swami nammalwar belongs to the commencement of Kali yuga. Kalou Kalu Bhavishyanti narayana parayana. Kvachit Kvachin Mahabhago dramideshucha pureesha tamrabharani nadhi yatra kruta malaa payasvini kaavericha mahaabhago pradeeseecha mahaanadhi.(srimadh bhagvath purana). [8]

We Chat With CampusCat, a German University's Mascot
If you have ever attended a university you will know how stressful life can be. Studying, exams and deadlines are forever looming over you, and, unlike in the movies, there is hardly any time to relax or have fun if you wish to achieve something.
Enter CampusCat. This handsome orange tabby cat has made it his job to make sure that Augsburg University's students are on time to hand in their papers by "helping" them as much as is felinely possible.
Catster caught up with the ginger tom in Southern Germany, who granted us this exclusive interview (make sure you imagine a German accent when you read his replies).
Catster: CampusCat, how did you end up being the mascot of Augsburg University?
CampusCat: Wie bitte? Oh Entschuldigung, my meowed English isn't too good, but I'll try my best. I don't actually belong to the university as such. I lodge with and own a Frau who lives nearby. However, over on the campus the students are always really generous with their attention and cuddles for me, so I like to go and visit. I have been doing so ever since I was about a year old, and one day I realised that I had been crowned their lucky mascot.
What are you like in character, CampusCat? Are you sweet or fierce or independent?
I am an easygoing, mellow fellow and a free spirit. I love humans very much and adore their attention, but one of my other hobbies is to just laze around in the sun and mind my own business.
What about dogs or other cats? Do you get on with them too?
Yes, sure I do! I also get on very well with the ducks over at the university pond. Oh yes, I get on really well with them ducks. [Evil snicker.]
So what's your real name? It's not just CampusCat, or is it?
It is said to know someone's true name is to be able to take away their power! So let's keep this a mystery here, okay?
Do you have a favorite food?
Not really, I am not a fussy eater and like just about anything. My human feeds me very well, as you can see from these photos of handsome old me. Even though I´m tempted sometimes, I am keen to keep my athletic figure, so I don´t accept food favours from the students.
Do you like playing? What's your favorite toy?
Yes, I love playing! Especially chasing butterflies on the campus lawn! Again, I'm not fussy though and I never never miss an opportunity to play with the students when they have a string, a ball or other interesting objects I get excited over.
What exactly do you do on the campus? Do you have a certain job or help anyone doing theirs?
I usually hang out amongst the books in the library, where my job is to support stressed out students and helping them with their studies. Apart from that, I also provide counseling sessions -- giving moral support when somebody is sad over a boyfriend breakup, a failed exam or other stressful events in their lives -- when a soothing feline presence is required. It's all part of a day's work for me.
What has been your most exciting adventure? Could you be some kind of superhero underneath it all? Have you saved anyone's life before?
Some say that I am the reincarnation of a university professor that once taught here. I am not so sure about that because, to me, I really kinda feel like a cat, not a human! As for being a superhero, well ... am I not a super-cat already hard at work here at the university? I mean, I rescue students every single day!
Do you know what the future holds for you? CampusCat T-Shirts? Other merchandise and Internet fame?
I have already achieved a bit of fame with my Facebook page. And there's the CampusCat cupcake!
Seriously though, I am not really too keen on being famous and well-known and I would leave this kind of thing to my feline brothers and sisters Luna the Fashion Kitty, Lil BUB, Tama the Station Master and the myriad of other celebrity kitties out there. I actually like my quiet life here with my human, and the important job I do helping students on a daily basis, and I think that too much fame would destroy my whole equilibrium. Sorry to disappoint you all there!
And to finish up this interview so I can get back to work (after a long nap, that is), let me share a feline secret with you -- most of us cats really are happy with just the basics in life: food, sleep, play, cuddles. I say "Amen" to those things.
Does your university or school have a cat as its mascot? Please let us know in the comments.

Greatest Rivalries
What is ur Favourite Rivalry in, boxing History?
Not just which provided us with the best fights but also the best build up, characters, back drop ect. ect
My pick is the Great Brittish Rivalry between hardcase Nigel Benn The Dark Destroyer and his eccentric counterpart Chris Eubank.
Tho there have been fights during other rivalries that were EVEN better than the ones put on by these two, and longer series' of fights too, these guys just get me going every time even now! Something about the deeply contrasting personalitys and styles makes them in my eyes the Greatest boxing Rivalry ever....
#1 Knicks Fan
The most historically significant is easily Frazier-Ali but in terms of pure, unadulterated violence AND hatred, you can't top Barrera-Morales.

I wouldn't claim it's even close to the best but my favourite is most definitely Benn Vs Eubank.
Here in the UK and especially England where I'm from. The rivarly was truley the most electric the UK has ever been for boxing in my lifetime. EVERYONE whos anyone, even people who didn't like Boxing, were pumped about this fight.
It was the first real high profile rivalry between to UK fighters in a long time and Benn had pure hatred for Eubank. Add that to the way Eubank's ****yness really helped the build up entertainment wise.
It really was phenominal. It was even better for me Eubank won as he was probably my favourite fighter at that time

I think the Benn vs Eubank rivalry is certainly one of the most fascinating. Definitely Ali vs Frazier as well as Lamotta vs Sugar Ray and possibly Leonard vs Hagler.

Just watched Benn vs Eubank 1 & 2 last night, They ARE great fights in their own right no question. Its the men rather than the boxers who make this one so special tho

Barrera-Morales and Ali-Frazier are probably my favorites, I always thought the Pac-Marquez rivalry was underrated. Ted "Kid" Lewis fought Jack Britton 20 times, Sam Langford fought Harry wills 17 times and Cocoa Kid fought Holman Williams 11 times.

Color Inspired: Blue & Green
Now that it's finally warming up here in L.A., I can't wait to go to the beach. I guess my trip to the pool yesterday inspired me to pair these two colors of blue and green together. It definitely reminds me of water and the tan I started working on yesterday.
Color Inspired: Red, White, & Blue
4th of July weekend is here ladies!I can already smell the BBQ's, sunscreen, fireworks, and the amazing sales. It's going to be a fun holiday weekend, are you ready? Celebrate Indpendence Day, but please be safe out there! Have a great weekend!
Is it HOT in here?
Summer has officially started and if you don't believe me, just check your calendar. The 4th of July weekend is only a few days away! You know what that means…SALES! And you can't forget the most important factor…the heat. The blazing sun is so unforgiving!
Interestingly enough, I think my hubby will really love this summer. Let me elaborate a bit…without getting too personal. LOL. Now, I've told you all before that I'm a t-shirt and sweats kind of girl. But, not this summer. I've never been so comfortable with my body and I am on a mission to make this a summer of firsts. Like…wearing lingerie to bed. I know! I know! But, I am a married woman who needs to keep the romance alive!
And after writing that review about that gorgeous Flyaway Babydoll from Lingerie.com, I realized how much I love wearing a sexy undergarment. And they definitely carry sexy plus size lingerie. Maybe these two will work?
From July 1-6, Lingerie.com is offering 15% off the entire site.
Just use the code SummerFling at checkout.
Beauty Buzz: Summer Essentials
As I make my way into the weekend for some much needed sun, fun, shopping, and relaxation-I can't help but pass on what I think are summer essentials. In Monique language, that means beauty products your face, skin, nails, and hair will need to survive the harsh sun…and a few extras…of course. Besides, the sun also causes wrinkles!! That's enough to convince me!
- Sunscreen: I can not stress how important it is to wear sunscreen. Come on! It's your skin we're talking about. The higher the SPF (Sun Protection Factor) the better. SPF is defined as a number assigned to a sunscreen that is the factor by which the time required for unprotected skin to become sunburned is increased when the sunscreen is used (Dictionary.com). There is even nail polish and daily skin moisturizers with UV (Ultraviolet Light) protection. Skin cancer will not make you curvaliscious by any means!
- Sunglasses: Please don't forget about your lovely eyes! They need sun protection too! If you can, try buying sunglasses of higher quality. Sometimes, the less expansive brands do not carry any UV protection. I know this because, I used to work in the industry. If you take care of the sunglasses, it's definitely a great investment.
- Lip Balm w/SPF: Here's another product you might not think about, but those lips need all the protection they can get. Keep your lips sun-free and luscious at the same time!
- After-Sun Products: There are after-sun lotions, shampoos, and conditioners that will help replenish moisture to your skin and repair any damage done to your hair by environmental factors.
- Extras: Using any products (body scrub) to help prep your skin before you bare it, will definitely give you that summer glow. Even without going out into the sun, there are sunless lotions and bronzers to help.
Birds and Paradise
Summer has just crept upon us! I know huh? Well, you know what that means…right? Luaus!! Pull out your tropical bird and floral prints. Don't have any? No worries, I found a few for you. You're going to be sitting there looking all cute, drinking out of a coconut, and eating BBQ. I love summer!
Alisi Swimwear=Love
I would wear any one of them proudly in all of my curvy glory! Alisi is an Australian company, but they do ship internationally. You can even find them on these US and UK web sites, but it looks like sizes go pretty quickly. So get on it!
Let's make a day at the beach or just lounging by the pool fashionably classic.
Beach Chic on a Budget
I've definitely been craving a day at the beach. I just want to grab my favorite magazine and a book and just lounge! When I was packing for San Diego last week, I realized that my entire beach outfit cost less than $35! That's swimsuit, sun hat, and flip flops.
Well, you must know I'm a budgeting master. And just because you're on a budget doesn't mean you can't look chic on the beach, right? Well, the entire look I put together (below) was only $95.83! This is definitely a look that will carry you through the entire summer.
Hurry up Simply Be!
Will UK's Simply Be please hurry and come to the U.S. already! I'm drooling over here! I know they will be here this summer, but this shopaholic is getting impatient.
Look at this Simply Yours swim wear! I can't stop staring at the Panache (polka dots) Swimsuit. I am looking for a cover-up too. Something that isn't boring and a waste of money. Why is it always so hard to find a decent swimsuit?
- Panache Swimsuit
- Beach2Beach Swimsuit
- Simply Yours Bikini Set
- Beach2Beach Bikini Set
- Joe Browns Cover-Up
- Joe Browns Beach Dress
- Joe Browns Beach DRess
Evans Summer Catalog Out Now!
Click on the cover to see the Evans Summer 2010 Catalog!
Brighten it Up!
I'm going to stay closer to my price range…like Old Navy! One of my favorite stores to shop at. Here are three spring/summer alternatives, all under $40! And if the weather gets chilly, throw on a cardigan or wrap. Simple, easy, and cheap.
New Glamour Cover!!
The new cover for Glamour magazine's June 2010 issue is out! You've heard the hype over this issue! It features three beautiful women: Crystal Renn, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Brooklyn Decker.
They are wearing the summer's hottest swimsuits and share their "confindence-boosting tips."
I can't wait to get my issue! I still haven't found my swimsuit, maybe this will help me. {fingers crossed}
"Women will accept themselves when they see more [body] types…. This is the new normal." -Crystal Renn
A gorgeous cover indeed. Some say Crystal is losing her curves? Does it really matter?
What do you think of the lovely ladies?

11 Things We Should Never Ever Do In Link Building Again
Okay friends, we need to have a little talk.
I am frustrated.
All of us Link Week columnists genuinely care about giving away good (and free, I might add) information on how to do link building the right way. So why, why, pray tell, do we continue to see so much crap? Clearly, we're going to have to try another approach to turn link building into a "legitimate" online marketing tactic.
I've narrowed it down to the Top 11 things, in no particular order, that we should never ever do for link building again — like, ever.
1. Aiming For Quantity Over Quality
I will take my one link on a site people actually read over your 25 links on sites we don't even know if Google's bots can find.
2. Mass Article Submission
Maybe it's our fault that mass article submission still exists. Maybe this is what we get for jamming "Content is King" down everyone's throat. I can accept some responsibility for this one, then; but I still don't understand the logic behind mass article submission. What do you get out of submitting the same How To Get The Best Deal On Payday Loans or Top 10 Coolest Things About Desk Chairs article to hundreds of different sites?
3. Content Spinning
Along the same lines, don't take the exact same article, change a couple of words here and there, and then brand it as "new content." Are people really not creative enough to think of a new article topic for a different outlet? Each site has its own unique audience. Write for them.
Note that this isn't repurposing content, where you take a topic and convert it to different mediums. For example, let's say you do a presentation. Repurposing content is putting your slides on SlideShare, writing a blog post about it and doing a webinar. Spinning content is taking the exact same blog post you wrote, changing the words to say the exact same thing, and pitching it to other sources.
4. This:
5. Ignoring Ourselves
I've seen some great links pointing to sites or blogs that are basically ignored. Stop putting so much effort into populating someone else's site with great content, and start focusing on building up your own site's content. Yes, it won't generate a 1-1 link, and yes, you will need to promote it to get visitors — but when you create great content on your own site, you open up the door to acquiring many organic links rather than just one.
6. Buying "Advertising" (Aka "Small Text Links")
You're not fooling anyone when you send me an email asking if could "advertise" on my blog. Let me guess: you want your advertisement to read "online pregnancy test" or "cheap web hosting."
If you're going to spam me, can you at least be a little more creative with it?
7. Obsessing Over Anchor Text
I'll admit that I have seen less of this since Penguin first scared the daylights out of people in 2012, but it's still uncanny the number of backlink profiles that have a higher exact-match anchor text percentage than their company name. You mean to tell me that everyone in the entire Internet knows you by the exact same phrase? Right.
I will take any (quality) link no matter how you want to link to me. Yes, anchor text still matters, and that's probably the most frustrating thing about it: You need that keyword link, but you don't want to seem like you need that keyword. That said, you need far fewer exact-match links than you did just two years ago.
8. Definitely This:
9. Guest Posting
Yes, I said it. We should stop guest posting to build links.
Before I'm hailed a hypocrite (because, let's be honest, I'm doing it right now) allow me to clarify: You should not be guest blogging unless you actually know — really know — the subject you are writing about. These "article writers" who churn out 10 posts in a day do not make the cut.
If you're still using guest blogging — and we do because it does work when done correctly — take the time to actually interview your client. As an SEO, you know a little about a lot of different industries from working with a variety of clients. Take the time to be interested in what they do, and uncover what's timely and relevant that warrants an article.
10. Substituting "Content Marketing" For "Link Building"
These are two vastly different tactics, although they do complement each other. Content marketing is lead nurturing your audience by giving them the content they need to make a purchasing decision. It can build links, but its purpose is not to build links.
11. Publishing "No-News" Press Releases
Public relations has become a critical part of link building, but committing to releasing two press releases a month is like committing to building 50 links a month. It's just not realistic or sustainable. You should only distribute a release when something actually newsworthy is happening, like a new product launch or community involvement.
Perhaps I'm taking my frustrations out on the wrong crowd. You fine readers of SEL aren't the people who do the above (and other equally horrific) things. So, I'd like you to join me in the crusade for legitimate link building. If you see an offender, call them out. Publicly. And preferably with some expletives.

Nice look and sound (when it works). Extremely frustrating. Unit will mute randomly and never actually works all night. I would take it back but I don't have the receipt. I'll never buy a unit with a touch control. Awful!
April 13, 2015
I love this machine! I have used it every night since I bought it 4 months go. It is my personal lullaby. I set it for sleep therapy and it has an ocean sound for 20 minutes and then it transitions to white noise. Very therapeutic, I highly recommend it.

I bought this machine at Bed Bath and Beyond 2 days ago. The demo we opened- cut out- so I bought one that was unopened- thinking it was a defect. The one I got does the same thing. Just randomly stops and restarts. That being said- the sound quality is amazing. I usually go with ocean sound on my other machine- but I could hear the loop in it. This one, you can't. The ocean sounds pretty real. I keep this one on "Rain"- because it really does sound like rain. Being in California, where the drought has brought no rain to speak of in 3 years- makes this a gift from heaven. I actually woke up this morning thinking it was raining! I can live with the random cut offs- if it doesnt get any worse. Judging from the other reviews- it is a common defect with this machine- and they should rectify it.

March 18, 2015
Tried 3 different machines. Each one was worse than the last. Not only did the 3rd one cut out but it also started with scratching noises in the white noise phase. This model does more to keep you awake than to help you sleep. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!!

Hubby snores. The white noise is great, when it works. Cuts out for no reason, wakes you up. Very poor quality for the price. From reviews, something changed in 2014.

Bought this Home Medic Deep Sleep machine from HSN last fall like all the sounds it makes and white noise sounds are the best I live in a apt complex work till early hours of morning blocks out most of the noise so I rest. So far no problems with this machine . I would recommend this product to anybody who has a baby that has trouble sleeping or adult. Satisfied customer. :)

Almost bought this one until I read the reviews. I'll go with the 49.99 model. It seemed to be well respected.

I am SOOO disappointed. The sound is great but it cuts out often and wakes you up!
- -Sam
February 17, 2015
My husband bought this for me. The first one cut out occasionally on the ocean sounds so he returned it for another. The new one cuts out a lot even on the white noise. Don't know whether to bother trying a 3rd unit. Had high hopes for this machine but for the money they need to get it right!
- -pat
February 16, 2015
Has potential but doesn't work properly, timer, remote, on/off, volume etc,, it just doesn't work. Lots of random issues. Seems as though it has a lot of bugs in it. When it worked for first couple nights we really liked it, so back it's going and will try unit another unit, hopefully better luck.
- -Fisch
February 9, 2015
Cuts off and on and wakes me up. It was a present so I don't have the information to return it.
- -really disgusted
January 4, 2015
I bought this for my partner who is a light sleeper. Sound is great and loud, but when it stops and restarts, it wakes him up. I'm so-so disappointed. I returned the item today and got my refund. Based on other reviews I've read, even with their exchange it still had the same effects. When it stops and restarts, it wakes them up. Please, please, make sure you do a quality control before letting your products out in the public. Especially, when those depend on sound machines to sleep. :(

Got one as a gift from my loving mom, went back to school the day of christmas to find IT DIDNT TURN ON. Great... pre-med, can't sleep with anxiety, and this product isn't even reliable enough to turn on.
- -disgusted
December 26, 2014
Bought mine, IT DIDN'T TURN ON. It's so great when a company can pride themselves on such a reliable machine but the machine is defective... thank you so much (heavy sarcasm). Constructive criticism... make a working machine.
- -disgusted
December 17, 2014
Like it, but the volume drops out 5 out of 7 nights. Works for a few minutes and then the volume just drops out of nowhere. Not a good unit!
- -Paul
September 24, 2014
I really love this Deep Sleep Therapy Machine! I live near a busy interstate and I have acute hearing :( I am however, able to sleep so much better with this machine. I cannot say enough good things about it. I love the different choices for sound machine and wake up feeling refreshed and renewed.My grandchildren are
so intrigued about this machine, and nap time for them comes quickly!
I am so happy I found it! Thank so much!

The volume suddenly drop to nearly an inaudible level randomly and often. This will wake you up! Check the reviews on amazon.com to see that this is a common problem. At this price this is unforgivable.

I bought this as a gift for someone who has chronic insomnia and she raves about this machine. Loves the sound quality and remote and highly recommends it. She is getting the best sleep she's had in a very long time!

I love this item. I can always sleep when it is raining, but have lately had a lot of problems falling asleep. I can go to bed and lay and think for a couple of hours or more. I was doing this every night. So I thought about a sound machine for the rain sound mainly. I LOVE THIS!! I turned the rain on last night, and went right to sleep, I barely remember waking two times and hearing the rain and went back to sleep. I also love the ocean and thunderstorms, but the rain is exceptional. Thanks for a great product and a great nights sleep.
- -Perfect item!!

Read Poems by
Craig Cornish
What do we miss when we drive by
And bow our heads with blinded eye.
What is it we don't hear - deny
When loudly we should heed their cry.
What stays locked in darkened rooms;
In shuttered fear and ceaseless doom.
Where there a hopeful smile once bloomed
A buried heart now lies entombed.
Say some, why not escape her fate.
Why live with rage and constant hate
With one who's only words berate -
So walk away, it's not too late.
Until she lies upon the floor,
Her hand reached out to grasp the door,
To welcome help that she implored -
In silence now ... forevermore.

Grant's future has been under debate almost from the moment he inherited the Stamford Bridge reins from Jose Mourinho and his eight-month tenure is now at an end just three days after his side lost to Manchester United in the final of the Champions League.
A statement on the club's official website read: "Chelsea Football Club can confirm that Avram Grant has had his contract as manager terminated today. This follows meetings over the last two days.
"Everybody at Chelsea FC would like to thank Avram for his contribution since taking over as manager last September.
"We will now be concentrating all our efforts on identifying a new manager for Chelsea and there will be no further comment until that appointment is made."
The futures of Chelsea assistants Steve Clarke and Henk Ten Cate are unclear, but no official word has yet been given on their positions.
The likes of Barcelona's Frank Rijkaard, Inter coach Roberto Mancini and Russia's Dutch boss Guus Hiddink have all been linked with the job in recent weeks and any such appointment would be expected to bring their own staff.
