I'll start by saying that 'Thank Goodness' this isn't an overpowering gardenia! Instead it is a very modern take on it with other pretty flowering friends to make this eau de parfum brilliant! What a beautiful way to start a new day wearing this little number.
I don't often write negative reviews, because I can see the artistic merit in most perfumes, but this one left me thinking 'why bother'. The okay synthetic pink pepper + gardenia-like opening dissipates within half an hour and you're left with this peppery, curry powder like base. It's not feminine nor very nice. Who wants to smell like the air conditioned spice aisle of their local Indian grocery store?
Seriously pretty fragrance however it seemed to disappear on me after half and hour. Very sad because it really does smell beautiful. Light and summery even with all those flowery notes.
It's gardenia with a twist. Not as heavy as pure gardenia; it's lifted with all the right notes (peony, pink pepper and other florals) to make it delightful. I don't smell the patchouli at all -- a good thing, as I generally don't like patchouli-dominant fragrances.
I don't like this Gardenia at all. It is so light and green and it smells like a cheap, floral air freshener on me. I much prefer the Gardenia Passion, Annick Goutal. If anyone would like to do a trade, I have a bottle that is practically full.
Light spicy gardenia-ish. Smells a lot like Forever Florals Hawaii Gardenia or maybe a fancy guest soap. Not really a living gardenia scent to my nose - still lovely and nice to wear anyway!
This lovely, yet expensive, gem is a mainstay in my fragrance arsenal. It is my lone "signature scent".
The opening is very floral and to my untrained nose, it stays floral like a walk through a Southern flower garden at twilight.
It lingers on my skin for at least four hours and then fades to a skin scent. On clothes, it has much more staying power.
Not the most realistic Gardenia, but does it have to be? This is a bouquet of gardenia, little peony, little jasmine, and greens. Wonderful, full, rich, floral aroma without being too much. Dry down - same aroma but very soft and pleasant. I think lots of ladies will appreciate this one.
Nice, nostalgic white flowery scent
An Admirable Feminine Floral
This is the time of year that makes us think of lovely floral or crisp fragrances. I have been thinking about trying some assorted floral choices for a few weeks now, and luckily for me, I received a generous sample of this very admirable perfume. How nice to have a floral, without an overdose of synthetic smelling berries ruling the whole palette! This has a nicely put together bouquet of Peony, lily- of- the- valley, Gardenia,and a sprinkle of rose and very light jasmine. It lists black currant and pink berries, but quite honestly I think there is only a tiny trace in there! I like the way the other flowers balance out the Gardenia, as it is so fresh and appealing, not overbearing, or intoxicating. The dry down is just as elegant and feminine as the rest of the fragrant journey, even though I haven't really heard of pink patchouli! I suppose this is just a thinner, or lighter version of patch, as they don't need to make it the star player in this fragrance, as I have noticed in many of the fruity floral scents these days. The cedar and musk are just there, not pushy or overdone at all. This fragrance, in my opinion), is a terrific choice for Spring and summer. It isn't over sweet, or cloying. It is very feminine and appealing. The only drawbacks are, the price, which is very high, and the Longevity. I found it faded very quickly, but this could have to do with skin type etc. Do test it first, as nothing is more disappointing than paying for a fleeting beauty!
I agree with karlovonamesti- this fragrance is more about peony than anything else- black currant, cedar, and muguet are adding their harmonies as well-
That being said, this is one heck of a lovely peony- (and I'm not a big fan of peony, as a rule) and black currant, which often smells too sour on me, is just adding some nice piquancy to the mix- This fragrance seems very nicely blended, overall-
It would be nice if it smelled like gardenia, though, wouldn't it...
- this fragrance smells like late winter/early spring to me- it fits this winter thaw that we're having, somehow
As someone with a living gardenia flower in a pot next to him, I can attest to Sunflower77's assertion that Fleur de Gardenia in no way smells like gardenia. It does smell like a massive "fresh" peony floral, and a lot of its freshness comes from the pink pepper and soft herbal notes underlying everything. Not the most complex floral in the world, and certainly very nice, but disappointing because gardenia smells better than peony.
Very nice gardenia scent, quite rich, though not sharp. Not that I find it easy to wear all year round, but in its class, it avoids being screechy, and headache inducing...which happens with most gardenia fragrances for me...
This is quite green, and overall though a spring/summer scent, I dont feel now in the freezing cold it is soo nice to wear!!!
I don't get any fruits, it is all floral to me..!
Gardenia does not yield any essential oil. So all the gardenia notes in fragrance are built from ground up with either synthetics or through the mixing of other essential oils.
Creed Fleurs de Gardenia does not smell like gardenia. Instead, it smells like peony. Compared to Spring Flower and Acqua Fiorentina, it is less aquatic, less airy, less green, and less fruity. Compared to Love in White, it has fewer floral notes and a simpler composition.
Creed Fleurs de Gardenia is a rather linear fragrance. The lovely peony starts heavy, then dries down to a lighter, pleasant powdery scent. It is not among the most popular offerings from the house of Creed. But if you are a peony lover, this may be something special for you. If you want a fragrance that truly smells like gardenia, try Annick Goutal Gardenia Passion or Un Martin d'Orage.
I had the chance to try Creed Fleurs de Gardenia recently while travelling to Manchester.I love gardenia very much so I am always try to find the best and most true gardenia scent. Creed's latest creation is all about...black currant!There is a very light,faint hint of gardenia for a few minutes and then I only smell some fruit,in fact black currant!I am so disappointed,this fragrance reminded me of mainstream fruity scents which refer to young girls and teenagers!Apart from the that,the lasting power was so bad that it made me angry!For that price range I was so expecting much more!If I could rate it it would get a 0/5.Generic,boring and a crowd pleaser..
Gardenia with something akin to clarified butter. The butter, to me, makes the scent warm and heavy rather than fresh floral. May be pretty on others but not on my skin chemistry.
One dab on me
Sillage: close to skin
Longevity: 2 hours
Rating: 1/5
pretty...with a coolant aspect that's pleasant/refreshing on a warmer day....i've only had it on for an hour and already feel it evaporating from my skin...I fear longevity is this perfume's nemesis. Pretty, but for a real, wearable, and longlasting Gardenia, visit Chanel.
Crispy Floral
Fleurs de Gardenia is very fresh flowery, bright, translucent, stimulating, but delicate, romantic female fragrance. A blissful return to love's first blossoming which opens with a subtle fruity note blended with gardenias from Miami, Asia, and French Polynesia, which grow only in pairs.
This is not an in your face gardenia. It's soft, ethereal and beautiful. There are also notes of Double Blush Roses and Lavender Peonies which contribute to its dream-like quality.
Key Ingredients are..
Top notes: Pink berries, fresh, ripe blackcurrant, engaging galbanum.
Middle notes: First Love Gardenias, double blush roses, lavender peonies, Lily of the Valley, pink jasmine.
Base notes: Soft musk, Pink Patchouli, Virginia cedar.
I received this beautiful perfume as a present from my boyfriend... And it has become one of my two signature fragrances. And if you ask, yes they both are CREED. ;)
I agree with pretty much everything Mellyhelly said below. Really lovely and not a cold scent on me like most creed frags are. If you like white florals, give it a skin test and you may be pleasantly surprised, particularly if other creed florals have left you less than impressed.
Lovely gardenia scent!
I tested this recently and I enjoyed every moment of its average long life on my skin.
To me this smells like pure greenish gardenia at first, then it becomes more mellow.
I don't get any singular note of the listed ones.
I guess they are used in small doses or very blended in, because their effect on the final result is to keep the whole scent lighter and not sweet-syrupy nor thick-stale like many other typical gardenia scents.
I feel less than convinced about many Creeds, but this new one is very nice on me, absolutely feminine for floral ladies yet breathable and not heavy.
It's a very romantic, modern perfume with a wink to vintage and classics.
Perfect as a 2012 rendition of a classic theme.
I especially love all the little aromatic nuances that keep coming out every 5 minutes.
Not a flat perfume for sure!
The sillage is average and pleasant, lasting power is ok.
Nice fragrance,The gardenia is magnificent, we would really say the flower.
I look for it, if you have it, contact I, thank you.
Got a sample in the mail. It's lovely at first dab. Beautiful flowers, very rich. Will see how the drydown goes. It's just new on the market. Will be back to edit with my opinion. Very floral and creamy first 15 minutes plus. But, you know, gotta wait for it....wait for it....
This is a nice fragrance, but I really wish it had more gardenia, in it. I get a lot of green notes, and many different flowers but not too much of the gardenia, it is a very nice floral perfume, I do like the combination of fragrances together.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) March 11, 2014
Bold, beautiful, and chic is what Meghna Patel of Meghna Designs wants every woman to feel when they wear her Jewelry. The luxury jewelry designer fell in love with the art of design as a young girl in India and after a move to America and years of perfecting her craft she made the bold decision to launch her own line. Her first collection inspired by the beautiful Taj Mahal made its debut in September 2011 and went on to grace the pages of Vogue, Elle, and O magazine. The artisan crafted pieces were also donned by Blake Lively and co-star Kelly Rutherford on the hit TV show Gossip Girl. With the success of the first line Meghna Designs is ready to embark on an even bigger journey with the help of its supporters.
$10,000 is what the designer hopes to raise through Kickstarter to create her first fine jewelry line.
"Creating jewelry has always been a dream of mine and so far the journey has been amazing. Being brought up in India for 15 years and now living in America my designs are a reflection of my cultural influences and western aesthetics. I hope to continue to bring those two experiences to the masses with my first fine jewelry line," says Meghna.
With Kickstarters "all or nothing" funding model, Meghna hopes to raise the funds needed in just 41 days. Backers can look forward to receiving prizes as simple as features on the designers social media accounts, to prizes as extravagant as being able to personally collaborate on a piece with the designer. The count down has begun since the project has gone live on March 7th. Check out Meghna Designs on Kickstarter.com to be a part of the launch of the new collection.
Join in on spreading the word about the project by following its progress on Twitter (https://twitter.com/MeghnaDesigns), Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/MeghnaDesigns), Pinterest (http://www.pinterest.com/meghnadesigns/), and Instagram (http://instagram.com/Meghnadesigns).

"very" few matches I'd change on this car, but I like it a lot. Hopefully Taker vs Cena happens next year.
Hmm. I usually dislike Wrestlemania cards. But, this one is solid my man. I would absolutely pay more to see this card than the current one.
People may disagree, but I think DB vs The Rock would be absolutely awesome. I'm really hoping he shaves the beard, throws back on a Ric Flair robe, and gets back to being completely effing awesome sometime in the near future.
Oh, and I'd throw Cody Rhodes vs Goldust in there. Two brothers, one dashing one demented, one makes Dusty proud the other makes him disgusted, ... the storylines write themselves.

Short trip up to Wakefield for this match.
Bit of a grim match build up all week as several player unavailable as the students left on mass for a hockey tournament in Edinburgh.
A depleted side was reinforced with Sam Mycock, Steve Haine and Rob Monger stepping into the fore.
A hot day to boot saw us arrive at the pitch, decent warm up and a bit of time to get used to what is best described as a bouncy pitch!! Water base pitch based on rubber.
Several players found it hard to get control of the ball soft hands and a history of playing on grass would suit some of the old boys in the team.
Game got under way and opening exchanges fairly equal, Steve Haine started strongly on the front line and was making a bit of headway but the Wakefield defence had a few years on even our oldest player Keith Paddock, soon snuffed out the attacks with some fortunate tackles and some experienced game plays that stopped us advancing.
Matt Burgon and Mike Chambers were working hard in midfield but were always unfortunate with the final ball seeing it bobble or even the opposite midfielders making a lucky touch.
Soon the pitch and having playing experience on it started to tell as Wakefield tested Andy Bowring with a couple of shots that Andy was equal too. The pitch seemed to dictate a game that we were not used too as Wakefield relied on big hitters from the back who looked for slight touches and deflections to beat the players.
Despite this the defence of Lee Robinson, Keith Paddock and FRANK TINGLE were being stretched but they were at this point equal to the Wakefield attack. Chapeltown were staying true to our game trying to pass out from the back but as the pitch was so bouncy that stopping and getting control was proving difficult.
We continued to persist with our methods and on the left side Lee Robinson, Sam Mycock and Ed Mallinder were making some inroads but shots on target were few and far between. Greg Bristol on the right side was making some good runs but passes to him sometimes evaded him or he was met with decent tackles.
Mike Chambers and Matt Burgon did combine to allow a half chance top D for MIke but his shot was well blocked and the loose ball was cleared down field.
Disaster struck as Wakefield got there third short corner from a ball smashed into the D that was poorly controlled and struck a player on the foot, oddly the first attempt was double hit but the umpire for some reason allowed a retake, which a big hitter succeeded in beating Andy on his right side. 1-0
CHapeltown immediately into attack with Ed Mallinder and James Davidson combining for a half chance being created fro Steve Haine who didn't quite get enough on it to finish the move. A quickly taken hit saw a four on two chance for Wakefield but a combination of Andy Making a fine save and staying on his feet to usher the player out for Lee Robinson to make a good tackle to dispossess the forward, should have been two down. Andy was agian called upon with a fine save down low on his left side to keep out the Wakefield attack.
The game began to ebb out as Wakefield relied on smashing the ball while Chapeltown were being beaten by the pitch and not a better side.
Second half got underway with Rob Monger coming into the game with Greg Bristol taking a well earned brake as he had ran himself ragged in the first half.
Steve Haine was to get involved in a titanic battle with a young right back who I am sure Wakefield have high hopes for, Steve aggressive in the tackle was beginning to be somewhat unfairly penalised for some of his challenges much to his frustration however he did keep his cool and continued to try hard.
Another half chance for Steve Haine but despite a forlorn dive he missed the ball which was well passed into the D by Ed Mallinder.
Sam Mycock was beginning to struggle as the heat took its toll. Greg was back into the fray and immediately made a couple of good crunching tackles.
Wakefield were on the back foot and making no attempt to try and play hockey. Chapeltown were in the ascendency but just couldn't find a final quality pass. James Davidson had a couple of shots on target from half chances but they were saved.
Andy Bowring who at this point was a spectator was again called upon and made an excellent reflex save down to his right this time.
Chapeltown continued to press and were not always getting the rub of the green from the pitch or the umpires at times. A Short corner was won but not trapped as for the first time it didn't bounce up!!
As the game was drawing to a close a golden chance fell to Mike Chambers who had only the keeper to beat but unfortunately he drew his shot narrowly wide.
A very tired Matt Burgon, let a very keen Keith Paddock push into midfield and almost made an immediate impact juggled the ball into the D and got a shot off that the defender blocked.
Further pressure from the Chapeltown side failed to brake down the Wakefield side and we were unfortunate not to get the draw.
Man of the match went to FRANK TINGLE who was generally outstanding throughout. To while dick of the day went to James Davidson who oddly asked who Sam was, the conspiracy returns to stitch me up I think.
The final home game for us next week sees us take on table toppers Normanby Park who royally beat us 5-1 in the reverse fixture.

Miss Alabama Katherine Webb Takes Pride In Being The "Anti-Kim Kardashian"
Since becoming a nationwide sensation, Katherine Webb says people have been referring to her as "the anti-Kim Kardashian."
Katherine Webb sat down with Sports Illustrated for an intimate interview on the eve of her swimsuit issue debut about being a good role model and her new-found fame.
"I've been approached by different publications, but I think a lot of America appreciated how classy I was, and I got a lot of responses saying I was America's sweetheart and all that kind of stuff.
I'm from Alabama and I have morals and I have class. That's my personality. A lot of people have said I'm the anti-Kim Kardashian and I'm all right with that," she said.
So now I must ask, Kim or Katherine? Let us know in the comment section below!

Fridays From the Frontline

Hello and welcome to Fridays From the Frontline, Clear Admit's weekly blog post focused on catching you up with the b-school blogosphere. This week applicants continued to reflect on their application process and report on how interviews were going while current students covered a diverse number of topics.
Army JMO created an interesting graphic tracking the career trajectories of those in the military and those who "separate" from the military to pursue an MBA. All members of the Fortune 800 blog chimed in with what they felt were the most difficult – and most enjoyable – essays to write. Rolipolli posted a humorous rap video about boom and bust. Pyaropopat returned home after a Malaysian vacation to find another acceptance notice, this time from Ross. The Applicationist pondered the meaning of a shorter than expected, and rather formal, Columbia interview.
Tepper '13 Julianne reflected on another essay prompt for Tepper and provided observations and guidance to those still facing a blank page. Kellogg '13 Night Owl recounted the strength of her grandmother and mother in recognition of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Harvard '13 Parker enjoyed drinking beer on tiny stools on street corners in Hanoi, and went night squid hunting. Johnson '13 Ellipser linked to a Facebook page that dedicated itself to quoting things that MBAs say. Johnson '13 Andrew shared a photograph of Ithaca.
Darden '12 Darden Poet came across her eighth grade self's career goals and enjoyed participating in a sketch comedy show with classmates. Kellogg '12 Jeremy extolled the virtues of factoring in 'transition time.' Darden '12 Jonathan announced his post-grad plans to move to South Korea. GW '12 Part-timer explained why his final semester might be the most intense.
And that's a wrap for this edition of Fridays From the Frontline. We hope more acceptance notices are received and interview invites extended as the days go by. Until next week, have a great weekend!

Naded on board
Over the last week I've been reaching out to the gaming community. Game Changers is about professional gamers, so it makes sense for me to appeal to that audience. I made contact with pro gamer Brett Leonard, who is more commonly known in the Halo community as "Naded". Brett has been gaming professionally for over 7 years and has been a part of several historic Major League Gaming (MLG) teams. He and I spoke on the phone about Game Changers, his life as a professional gamer, and the possibility of working together on the film.
There are 2 scenes in Game Changers that take place at an MLG event. I wasn't sure if I could get actual pro's to make cameos in these scenes, but Brett said he'd be interested in making a cameo in the film. Having pro's in the film isn't a necessity, but I want to go that extra mile for fans of MLG and pro gaming. I know that I would appreciate it if I saw it, so I'm really excited to have Brett involved.
For me, it's also very important to keep the vernacular of the film true. The problem is, I don't know all the lingo. If a character say "One shot our dick rock" or "Sniping our pee shooter from ring two", I need to make sure it makes sense to gamers. So Brett has agreed to be my liaison into the world of pro gaming, making sure that my dialogue is relevant and true.

Lesson Plans
This section contains articles organized into Lesson Plans. Think of Lesson Plans as mini courses similar to what you would take in a classroom environment. Each lesson plan is designed to present a set of information that will get the 'student' to learn pocket billiards through step by step instruction process. A lesson plan would comprise of a few progressive lessons aimed at providing just enough information that will allow the 'student' to understand a concept or two at a time. As the 'student' progresses through the lesson plans, a new and slightly more advanced concept(s) is taught and so on and so forth. Similar to a classroom environment, most of the articles will be followed by practical exercises that will help the 'student' gain more understanding of the game of pool and billiards by providing assignments that will have them use their newfound knowledge in actual practice. Some lessons plans will also have optional articles that serve as additional reading for the purpose of a deeper understanding of the concept being taught.
Learn the fundamentals of Pocket Billiards

Following disclosures by Newsmax of questionable donations to Barack Obama's presidential campaign, CBS News has uncovered two donors who have given a total of $7,722 using fake names.
Fake, that is, unless you believe that Dahsudhu Hdusahfd of Df, Hawaii, and Uadhshgu Hduadh of Dhff, Fla., are legitimate monikers.
Hdusahfd listed his or her employer as CZXVC/ZXVZXV and Hduadh listed DASADA/SAFASE.
Newsweek reported over the weekend that two other Obama donors gave their names as "Doodad Pro" and "Good Will."
Contributions from Hdusahfd and Hduadh were made beginning July 16 of this year, and Federal Election Commission (FEC) records show the Obama campaign began refunding the donations beginning on Aug. 6.
But "despite numerous refunds from the Obama campaign, Hdusahfd still has a record of giving a total of $7,500 to Obama which is well over the legal limit for the primary and general election of $4,600," CBS reported.
"Hduadh gave $14,000 but the Obama campaign returned all but $222."
Obama spokesperson Bill Burton told CBS News in an e-mail: "We constantly review our donors for any issues and while no organization is completely protected from Internet fraud, we will continue to review our fundraising procedures to ensure that we are taking every available step to root out improper contributions."
The Republican National Committee filed a complaint on Monday charging that the Obama campaign has received illegal contributions from foreigners and donations that exceed federal limits.
The complaint cites a Newsmax article asserting that a database of FEC records "shows questionable overseas donations that contain more than 11,500 contributions totaling more than $33.8 million."
The New York Times reported on Monday that the questionable donations issue "is being seized upon by the Republicans against the Obama campaign after an article this month on the conservative Web site Newsmax.com highlighted some obviously questionable contributions Mr. Obama had received that far exceeded the $4,600 an individual can contribute."

THE Earth Centre, a £120-million project to create a "green expo" on an abandoned Yorkshire coalfield, is in disarray following a decision by merchant bankers Hambros to pull out.
Hambros has headed a consortium of five banks trying to raise £50 million for the project. This would have released matching funds from the Millennium Commission, which distributes National Lottery cash.
"Almost a year has been lost from the original schedule," says Stuart Robins of Hambros.
Jonathan Smales, the Earth Centre's director, insists he will carry on fundraising.

Home Kent Business County News Article
A flight training company returns once again to the High Court today in a bid to get an injunction against the closure of Manston Airport.
TG Aviation's case against the site's owners Kent Facilities Limited has twice been put back.
The company runs Thanet Flying Club and has been based at the airfield for 30 years but was forced to move to Lydd when it closed in May, despite having 50 years left on their lease.
The injunction would require the owners to give the company permission to use the runway.
The firm's bid has twice been adjourned, initially to give Kent Facilities Limited – owned by Stagecoach founder Ann Gloag – time to gather evidence.
Tasha Girdler of the family-run company said they had been told to produce evidence that it is being run in accordance with the rules of an unlicensed airport.
Tasha said: "The situation is devastating. My grandfather Ted, who founded the company 30 years ago, would be horrfied. We have got to remain positive and keep going."
The Civil Aviation Authority were asked to remove the airport's operating licence shortly after it closed.
A CAA spokesman said: "The owners of Manston Airport asked the CAA to cancel their licence, as they were no longer trading as a commercial airport.
"If and when a new owner can be found, the airport's licence could be reinstated so long as we are satisfied the correct staff are in place, providing the necessary level of expertise and the condition of the runway and facilities were in good order."

Like most big acquisitions, AOL's AOL's $405 million purchase of Adap.tv will take a while to pay for itself, but it has already yielded something to justify that price tag: bragging rights.
Thanks to the contribution from the video advertising network, AOL zoomed to No. 1 in video ads served in comScore's comScore's rankings for September, all the way up from No. 12 in August. Among the competitors it leapfrogged was the previous leader, Google Google.
There's no big surprise here; Adap.tv was already No. 2 on its own in August, with 2.45 billion video ad views, as the chart below shows:
But the aggregate September sum is substantially bigger than the addition of the August figures would've implied. In fact, the 3.7 billion video impressions is the biggest total comScore has ever recorded for a single entity, and almost 15% larger than Google's haul.
"It's a directional indication for the growth of the industry and the growth of the company," says Adap.tv's CEO and founder, Amir Ashkenazi. "It's clear evidence we're in the middle of two extremely powerful trends."
He means the shift of TV advertising dollars to digital and the shift within digital from manual to programmatic ad sales. While programmatic already accounts for 53% of display advertising, according to a new report from MagnaGlobal, in video it's only 10 to 20%, estimates Ashkenazi. That's changing fast, he says: "We think most advertising will be transacted programmatically."

Drought prompts request to suspend ethanol lawCHICAGO — Livestock and poultry producers formally asked the Obama administration Monday to suspend the nation's renewable fuels standard because it is causing "severe economic harm" as corn prices surged to a record.
By: ELIZABETH CAMPBELL AND MARIO PARKER, Bloomberg News
CHICAGO — Livestock and poultry producers formally asked the Obama administration Monday to suspend the nation's renewable fuels standard because it is causing "severe economic harm" as corn prices surged to a record.
A coalition including the National Cattlemen's Beef Association and National Pork Producers Council, sent a petition to the Environmental Protection Agency asking for a waiver "in whole or in substantial part" the output requirements under the Renewable Fuels Standard for 12 months.
"An unsustainable situation has been created by the drought combined with the lack of cushion in corn supply due to the tremendous demand from ethanol producers," Tom Super, a spokesman for the National Chicken Council, part of the coalition, said Monday on a conference call with reporters. "We believe that the RFS is causing severe economic harm during this crisis."
The drought that sent corn prices to a record is devastating meat producers, and the demand for grain used to make ethanol is reducing available supplies to make food, the livestock groups said. The current mandate requires refiners to use 13.2 billion gallons of the biofuel this year and 13.8 billion in 2013. It's "time to wean" the ethanol industry off government mandates, J.D. Alexander, the president of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, said on Monday's call.
"The higher-priced corn, the higher-priced cost of production, and higher cost of eventual products is going to be" passed along "to the consumer," said Alexander, a Nebraska rancher who said he's never seen anything like this drought in his 40 years in the business and added that he's having trouble finding corn to feed his cattle.
The price of corn, the main ingredient in livestock feed, is up 61 percent since June 15 and reached a record $8.1775 a bushel Monday in Chicago as the drought erodes yield prospects for the crop that, last month, the government had forecast would be a record. About 64 percent of the contiguous United States is in moderate to severe drought as of July 24, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor.
Consumers may buy less meat as prices rise, John Burkel, the vice chairman of the National Turkey Federation and a Minnesota turkey grower, said on a media conference call. Stores are less likely to offer cheap turkeys during Thanksgiving this year, he said. While grocers typically advertise turkey at below cost to attract consumers for the entire holiday meal, retailers "can't possibly continue doing that at these price levels," he said.
Bob Dinneen, the president of the Washington-based Renewable Fuels Association, the largest U.S. ethanol trade group, said in an email that he expects the government to deny the waiver request. "This summer's hot, dry weather conditions have caused significant challenges for all users of grain," including ethanol refiners, Dinneen said.
Ethanol producers have responded to higher costs by cutting output 17 percent to 796,000 barrels a day in the week ended July 20 from a record 963,000 on Dec. 30. Poet LLC is the largest U.S. ethanol producer, followed by Archer Daniels Midland, in Decatur, Ill., and Valero Energy Corp.

The luxurious Kuhn-Bösendorfer Design grand piano fascinates people all over the world. Here are some of the international articles.
Boesendorfer story in: The gioi Vang 12/´09 - Vietnam´s Premium Gold Magazine
Being a pianist today must present a problem, given the bewildering selection of piano's on the market. However, if you want new top end, then look no further than this $1.2 million grand piano from Kuhn Studio.
… this instrument is likely to offer unrivaled playability....
The 7'4" black Kuhn-Bösendorfer piano with its matching bench is inset with as many as 100,000 hand cut, polished jewels arranged in diamond patterns.
The instrument has been eighteen months in the making and is a "grand collaboration" between L. Bösendorfer Klavierfabrik GmbH of Vienna, Austria and Jon Kuhn, the world's foremost cold glass sculptor.
Established in Vienna in 1828, Bösendorfer continues, to this day, to manufacture pianos unmatched in elegance and in the ability to sustain rich tone and bass. As all the instruments are built by hand, both artists and connoisseurs revere the unique construction and workmanship of the Bösendorfer grand piano. Since the 19th century, Bösendorfer masters have been working with architects and creative minds to realize individual designs while maintaining sound integrity.
About Kuhn, Kuhn's cold glass sculptures are known for their unusual radiance, in which light refracts from intricately crafted core glass of different colors through painstakingly built-up layers of the clearest lead crystal. His cubes, circles and works of varied sizes and geometries are included in the permanent collections of over 35 museums. These include the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Carnegie Museum, National Museum of American Art and The White House Permanent Collection.
Jon Kuhn is honored to collaborate with Bösendorfer in the creation a limited edition model.
Each instrument will have the collectors' name written in gold leaf embedded deep within a remarkable crystal fallboard logo. This unusual design feature assures that the initial owner's name will endure – along with the piano.

This tiny plover is the color of pale sand – the perfect camouflage for its preferred habit of open beaches, alkali and salt flats, and river sandbars.
Although the Snowy Plover has a large population and wide range, its numbers appear to be decreasing. Major threats include habitat degradation/loss and increased recreational use of beaches, where human activity can destroy the birds' nests and eggs. Free-roaming cats also pose a threat.
Sea level rise due to climate change will cause additional loss of habitat for the Snowy Plover and other beach-nesting birds. Increased storm surges may also threaten nests.
As a result of continuing declines and ongoing threats, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recently issued a proposal to more than double the bird's designated Critical Habitat. See the full story here.

The Chicago Sun is born this day, Dec. 4, 1941, but its competitor, the Tribune, grabs the headlines. The Trib and two other papers print the government's plans for war in Europe, merrily code-named "Victory Parade."
The White House must have groaned. Disclosure that the government has a war blueprint is bound to cause President Roosevelt more problems with the isolationists. They have hammered on his administration as trigger-happy, often maneuvering him into an awkward defensive posture.

Boeing has designated its re-engined 737, the 737 MAX, re-launching its narrowbody family as the 737 MAX 7, 8 and 9 with CFM International Leap-1B engines.
"The 737 MAX will deliver maximum efficiency, maximum reliability and the Boeing Sky Interior will continue to offer maximum passenger comfort," said Nicole Piasecki, Boeing Commercial Airplanes vice president of business development and strategic integration.
"We call it the 737 MAX because it optimises everything we and our customers have learned about designing, building, maintaining and operating the world's best single-aisle airplane," added Piasecki, who said the aircraft aims to meet the 99.7% dispatch reliability of the current 737 family offering.
Boeing has dropped the 100-seat 737-600 from its next offering, which had never been a big seller, choosing to re-engine the -700, -800 and -900ER, creating the 737-7, -8 and -9.
Entry into service is expected in 2017
The variants, announced 30 August, were given the MAX designation in a press conference at Boeing Commercial Airplanes Customer Experience Centre near its Renton, Washington facility.
Boeing to date has received 496 orders from five airlines, including 100 from American Airlines which will receive its first in 2018 after it concludes taking delivery of 100 newly ordered 737NG aircraft the year prior.

Ian Somerhalder: The Salvatores Would Kick Twilight Vamps' Booties
If the bloodsuckers from The Vampire Diaries were to throw down against
the wussies the vamps from Twilight , who do you think would win? Ian Somerhalder (Damon) says his TVD crew would kick some Washingtonian ass, hands down.
"I'm a lover, not a fighter... but I think we would kick their ass," Ian joked during an interview with Extra.
We all know he's just playing, though! Despite playing the devilish Damon on TV, Ian has proved to us more than once that he's quite the sweetheart in real life. Still, it would be pretty awesome to see all those sexy vamps fight.... especially with their shirts off. Just saying.

Broadway plays are tres not my thing–if it's not showing at the Met, I shant be going–but I might make an exception now that Carly Rae Jepsen is heading to the Great White Way.
Starting on February 4th, CRJ will take over the lead role in "Rodgers + Hammerstein's Cinderella" opposite Fran Drescher as her wicked stepmother. That's right darlings, Carly Rae is now Cindy Rella.
While it may seem odd to cast a pop tart like CRJ in such a high-profile role, Carly says that she can totes see herself in Cinder's glass shoes.
"It's so hopeful and inspiring," she said. "I've always been one to believe in the impossible, so I relate to her character completely."
Relating to a character is all well and good Carly but can you act? Her only other stage experience was in high school where she starred in "Annie," "The Wiz" and "Grease" before attending the Canadian College of Performing Arts. So basically: she hasn't done any acting that actually matters to anyone other than her mother.
Now all they need is to cast the rest of the musical–any suggestions? Maybe we could get her Fairy God Bieber to come out of retirement…

Defending champions, Mumbai Indians, will kick-off IPL 2014 by taking on Kolkata Knight Riders at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi tonight. With the first half of the tournament to be played in the UAE, the first game looks to be vital for the other six teams in the fray. With new venues and new conditions to tackle, teams will be eagerly looking at this game in order to analyse the respective combinations put out by both sides. Wickets in the UAE have been said to traditionally aid spin and both teams will be looking at getting their spin combos right on Wednesday.
Mumbai Indians, who prevailed over the Chennai Super Kings in the final of the last edition, will be looking to get their campaign off to a good start while Knight Riders will focus on exorcising last season's ghosts, which saw them finish in seventh position, a sure downer after having clinched the title the previous year.
Spin kings
The last international tournament held in the UAE, the youth World Cup, saw spinners being used copiously on the slow and low tracks. Both sides are well-stocked with tweakers. Knight Riders perhaps hold the edge over Mumbai, with the services of Windies' mystery man, Sunil Narine.
Narine has 46 wickets in 31 outings for KKR and is a potent option for skipper Gautam Gambhir. Narine will also be complemented by new-pick Piyush Chawla, the dependable Shakib Al Hasan and the India's young chinaman bowler, Kuldeep Yadav.
Mumbai, on the other hand, will depend on old-warhorse and former captain, Harbhajan Singh, along with left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha. Madhya Pradesh all-rounder Jalaj Saxena is a handy off-spinner and Mumbai also have young Karnataka leggie Shreyas Gopal as an able back-up.
Watch out for
Kolkata Knight Riders have done well to retain and buy-back most of their core group of players. Captain Gambhir has been in solid form in the domestic T20 competition, having helped his side, Delhi, top their qualification group. The 32-year-old left-hander accumulated 162 runs in four outings, giving out a strong signal of returning to his peak during a punishing unbeaten 75 against Haryana, just before he left for the UAE. Along with Jacques Kallis, KKR's most consistent batsman over two seasons, some of the youngsters in the side — including Suryakumar Yadav, Manish Pandey and Manvinder Bisla — will have to step up to the plate.
For Mumbai, Rohit Sharma's good form in the recently concluded World T20 will give his franchise heart. The captain of the Mumbai Indians, Rohit was easily his side's best batsman in their run to the title last year, amassing 538 runs at 38.42 and at a very healthy strike-rate of 131.54. Coupled with new acquisition Michael …continued »

YSL Glossy Stains #10, 25, 27 and 29

I'm on a makeup ban so I must resist. I definitely want to try a YSL lipstick and gloss this year. Rouge Filtre looks lovely.
So nice to see you back blogging :) xx

Parveen, it feels good to be back! But the dull days are really frustrating me - all the swatches look off to my eye.
Anyway, I really love my YSL Glossy Stains and I'm looking forward to seeing which one you choose to treat yourself with. I'm going to update my swatches soon so maybe they'll be of some help.
Laura, thank you! I really hope you're well. #27 is gorgeous, I'm just worried it'll be too light for me - it'd definitely look fab on your complexion though.

Did you end up trying #27? Was it too light for you? I'm a similar skin tone to you and I was considering getting this colour.

Anne! <3 <3 <3
It's been far too long, but that is my fault. Just lots of craziness, you know? I hope you're really well =)

Hi Yollipop =)
Just for your sake I tried #27 on for the first time yesterday! The first layer was a very translucent peach with the natural pinkiness of my lips showing through. The second coat gave the gloss a peachier look and the pink of my lips was lessened.
I was thankful to find it was NOT too light, I could definitely carry the shade off but I am at my lightest skintone at this time of year.
One final note, I did notice that over the space of a couple of hours, #27 deepened in colour. It became a slightly reddish-peachy shade. It was still very pretty but definitely not the shade it had started out as.
Sorry for such a long reply! I will do my best to update with lip swatches as soon as possible, so they may help you out too.
I hope I was of some assistance!

Our yearly celebration of contemporary Italian film, Open Roads, often sells out, and one of the most well-regarded selections of last year's festival was the Double Hour. Good news for all you film fans out there who didn't get a chance to see it last year. It's opening this Friday in New York City. Check out the trailer below:
There's been a lot of talk of an American remake of this twisty thriller. So we think you should see it before Hollywood ruins it beginning this Friday at Lincoln Plaza and Sunshine Cinemas.

Co-author (with lyricist Hal David) of an extensive string of hits in the '60s, Burt Bacharach is one of the most respected composer/producers in pop history. In Dionne Warwick, Bacharach found a perfect vehicle for his innovations, which fused uncommon rhythms, creative arrangements, and gorgeous melodies, often bringing the sophistication of classical music and jazz to the Top 40 charts. In the '90s, years after the hits dried up, the burgeoning "lounge" music movement provided him with a resurgence in popularity. His late-'90s collaborations with admirer Elvis Costello were widely lauded.

Lydia Maria Child (February 11 1802 – July 7 1880) was an American abolitionist, women's rights activist, opponent of American expansionism, Indian rights activist, novelist, and journalist.
She is perhaps most remembered for her poem, Over the River and Through the Woods. (Her grandfather's house, restored by Tufts University in 1976, still stands near the Mystic River on South Street in Medford, Massachusetts.)
Child, a strong supporter and organizer in anti-slavery societies, helped with fundraising efforts to finance the first anti-slavery fair, which abolitionists held in Boston in 1834. In 1839, she was elected to the executive committee of the American Anti-Slavery Society, and became editor of the society's National Anti-Slavery Standard in 1841. Child also served as a member of the American Anti-Slavery Society's executive board alongside Lucretia Mott and Maria Weston Chapman during the 1840s and 1850s. In the end, however, Child made the decision to leave the paper because she refused to promote violence as an acceptable weapon for battling slavery. The abolitionists' inability to work together as a cohesive unit angered Child. The constant bickering amongst them caused a permanent estrangement which forever separated Child from the AASS. In quotes, Child stated that she believed herself to be finished with the cause forever. She did continue to write for many newspapers and periodicals during the 1840s, and she promoted greater equality for women. However, because of her negative experience with the AASS she never fought outright for women's rights or suffrage movements in organized movements or societies again.
In the 1850s Child responded to the Senate beating of her good friend Charles Sumner by writing her poem entitled "The Kansas Emigrants." The outbreak of violence in Kansas brought about a certain change in Child's opinion of the use of violence. She along with Angelina Grimke, who had both been proponents for peace, now acknowledged the need for the use of violence to protect antislavery emigrants in Kansas. Child also sympathized with the radical abolitionist John Brown. While she did not condone his zealous use of violence, she deeply admired his courage and conviction and even wrote to Virginia Governor Henry A. Wise offering her services at Brown's sickbed. In 1861, Child helped Harriet Ann Jacobs with her Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl.
Child died in Wayland, Massachusetts, aged 78, on October 20, 1880, at her home at 91 Old Sudbury Road. She was buried at North Cemetery in Wayland.

Cry Me a River and Lonely Teardrops - Brand new singles from Carl Dawkins
It's crying time and Carl Dawkins is singing for the teary eyes. The dynamic Dawkins has covered two of the great popular weeping songs. One is the Jamaican classic that says - You have got to go down on your knees and "Cry Me A River" by Jackie Opel and the other is the ever fresh and seminal R&B hit "Lonely Tear Drops" from Mr. Showman Jackie Wilson.
Carl Dawkins has given the two Jackies' masterpieces his own personal touch with a modern reproduction of the "Cry Me A River" rhythm and a unique interpretation of "Lonely Teardrops" in reggae style. They will surely tingle your ears as you listen and sob with tears of joy. Available from www.upstairsmusic.net and on itunes.
Born in Toronto Canada to Jamaican parents, R&B singer/songwriter Lavel A Williams aka FoXx Williamz traces his roots back to St. Ann, Jamaica. The smooth vocalist has been singing since the tender age of 5 and cites Luther Vandross, Michael Jackson, and James Brown as his strongest influence. However, growing up in a West Indian household, and hearing the grooving rhythms and melodies of Bob Marley, Garnett Silk, and Beres Hammond have armed this budding artist with an influence of Caribbean flavour that enable him to step out into the Pop scene as a force to be reckoned with.
