People with borderline personality disorder (BPD) experience such violent and frightening mood swings that they often fear for their sanity. They can be euphoric one moment, then despairing and depressed the next. There are an estimated 18 million sufferers of BPD living in America today - each displaying remarkably similar symptoms:
For years BPD was difficult to describe, diagnose, and treat. But with this classic guide, Dr. Jerold J. Kreisman and health writer Hal Straus offer much-needed professional advice, helping victims and their families understand and cope with this troubling, shockingly widespread affliction.
This completely revised and updated edition includes information on the most up-to-date research that has opened doors to the neurobiological, genetic, and developmental roots of the disorder - as well as the connections between BPD and substance abuse, sexual abuse, post-traumatic stress disorder, ADHD, and eating disorders - making it a vital reference for understanding and living with BPD.

"This book belongs on the bookshelf of patients, their friends and family, and for all those who help in their healing." (Randi Kreger, author of Stop Walking on Eggshells and The Essential Family Guide to Borderline Personality Disorder)
"I Don't Really Hate You - So Learn More About BPD"
It was a good auidiobook and keep in mind this is 1 perspective. This illness needs much further study and a new name that carries less stigma! On the Borderline of... total craziness? This book gives a good basic summary of what a person who has this illness might have struggles with on a daily basis.
The best is that this is a broad view on this illness and covers a good amount of information for someone who has little knowledge of this complicated illness. The author mentions stigma, but then like many doctors and nurses, etc, calls those who suffer, "Borderliners" or "Borderlines." Sorry, but I don't think anyone wants to be called a cancer or canker or other "names and labels."
People who suffer with an illness or suffers from - BPD is appropriate. You are NOT your illness. And like in the old days, they diagnosed women who suffer with mental illness - Hysteria, and now we actually have scientific names for specific illnesses like Post Partum Depression, or Bipolar I and II. I hope that one day the DSM has a better name for Borderline Personality Disorder. Sounds terrifying to say the least. Who would want to admit they have THAT!
This book is a good start, and much more info is being looked into thankfully as time goes by.
More specific would be a chapter or topic. I like that the author identifies movies that have suggested a character had this illness. "I am dancing as fast as I can," "Memento," "Who is afraid of Virginia Woolf." I watched "Dancing as fast as I can." I could really relate to the character in that movie. It was odd seeing Joe Pesce out of his usual roles in this movie and I call her, "the mom from Footloose," Diane Weist!
I had to look into this book because so many others I talk to who are care providers or patients mention this book and it is highly rated. I think this book is really informational in a general sense. Much more research needs to be done with this illness, but it is a good read for those who don't understand Borderline Personality Disorder and keep in mind this is 1 perspective.
More books on this topic! More RESEARCH and more Funding $$$, Less STIGMA and less horror films with preconceived ideas that women, and YES, men who suffer with this illness are out to get you! These are very sensitive people with emotional scarring - not a bunch of criminals or killers. Compassion!
"Not valuable to the person dealing with BPD."
This book is not for the family member or friend learning how to deal with someone with BPD. There were a handful of chapters with case studies of individuals with BPD. There were a handful of chapters about treatment, pharmacological and therapeutic methods. It dives into the trauma associated with BPD which is not really a surprise given the myriad of other disorders one could form from childhood trauma, this is just one of them.
There was not one chapter on learning how to deal with the BPD's tantrums. The only information included was what the spouses were doing wrong when faced with drama; not what you can do right or make things easier on yourself.
This book is probably very enlightening for the person with BPD. But is was a bit decieving in its title and synopsis of how to deal with one.
Don't buy this book if you do not have BPD.
"Technical, clearly defines DSM explanation of BPD"
This book was a little too technical for me and maybe it would serve me to get a written version. It does a great job explaining the disorder and its extremes. It's definitely not a "light" read (listen)
"A poorly written summary of BPD"
This book summarizes borderline personality disorder and is written by an expert in the field. Unfortunately, the writing lacks both a coherent structure and a logical progression. The author is given to speaking in technical terms (jargon) without providing definitions for a general audience. It is well known that this is poor form for technical writing. The book is also full of stories about the lives of particular patients. While interesting, I found these stories to be mostly off-topic, containing only a small amount of relevant information. This makes me wonder if these stories were included as page-fillers.
"Very technical and little advice"
as other's have mentioned this book seems more for the psychologists not familiar with BPD. Although there are a few helpful tips on dealing with BPD I can't recommend this book. You can find better advice online.
"Basic outline of BPD, lots of you'll never be OK"
Hello all, I bought this book at the behest of a friend that has BPD... I leaned that according to the book I to had it up un till very recently so, here we go...
This book does give you a good out line of symptoms and a bunch of "we think" this is the problem, but it also repeats several times that you (basically) can never get better and you will always have to be treated and all that jazz, but I know this to be untrue from a first person perspective... Also VERY VERY MONO TONE on the part of the speaker. I mean if you want to know what the symptoms are things like that then pick it up, if you want hope for you or anyone else with BPD leave it alone...
To much to list...
less Mono tone through the whole book, more "actionable" this is how U become healed, but that doesn't make the Drug Company money so...
yes WARN people of it and have me try to steer people away from it...
This book is a book of excuses, of reasons to quit, of this is why I can't get healed/ better and I shouldn't even try... this is the way my friend with BPD was for a very long time, he's starting to get better, but not thanks to this book...
"the devil you know is to know yourself."
I enjoyed the audio version the most, it helped me to learn more about personality traits in people. I would suggest that this book for those that are like myself are on the road to self discovery.
"great book"
This is a great book for anyone who has a loved one who struggles with BPD. This book seems to target an analytical mind but is also very helpful to a layman person. The book is so packed full of useful tools to use I had to read it twice. In fact I found some of it so helpful I wrote it down so I could memorize and reflect back at my leisure. Just a great overall book.
"I re-read it three times. I love it!"
This is full of valuable information, whether the listener is one who has been diagnosed, the friend, family member, or professional.
"Very informative"
Very helpful for understanding BPD. Great chapter on the medications. I will probably go back to it many times. Lots of good information. Kind of dry. My mind kept wandering. Could only do a little at a time.

The Westchester Board of Legislators is prioritizing ethics reform in the wake of a controversial waiver late last year that allowed a former legislator to take a job essentially lobbying his former colleagues.
Former Legislator Bill Ryan, a Democrat from White Plains who left office at the end of 2013, was hired by Westchester Medical Center as its intergovernmental relations director, a $190,000 job. But the waiver granted by the Board of Legislators to allow him to take the job a few days after he left office made many legislators uncomfortable and has pushed reform to the top of the ...

A sexy, light, unique fragrance!!! Not to sweet! I don't like the packaging of the perfume, I buy the spray bottle therefore.

I love the scent of this perfume. However, it doesn't last, the packaging is nice but inconvenient. I am highly disappointed in the product, after spending $80 I would have expected a bit more for this perfume.

My boyfriend really loves this perfume on me and always compliments me on how "delicious" I smell when I'm wearing it. I like the scent - it's sexy and musky and sweet (sort of generic really). However, the lasting power isn't very strong - I can maybe get two hours out of this scent. (I carry a little roller-ball version of this scent in my purse now so that I can extend it's wear time throughout the day.) I also like the full-size bottle the perfume is packaged in- it's adorable.

This has got to be my favorite VS body spray.
It smells just like Viva La Juicy, but better. Fresher and fruitier. Compliments galore when I spray this on (the body spray lasts around 3-4 hours on me...not bad). One guy in my group of friends even told me to stop wearing this because it smells 'too provocative, too distractingly sexy' LOL, he then asked me what it was so he could get it for his gf. I personally don't find it sexy, it's just a super-pleasant, feminine casual scent for everyday...but addictive enough to make you want to keep spraying it on. Good for all year round wear except for the hottest of days (I prefer PINK or Secret Charm for hot days). Will definitely repurchase, I plan on getting the lotion as well to improve the longevity.

I wanted to hate this because I found it smelled like Viva la Juicy and I find that way to many people wear it...but I can't. I love this perfume. I do see the similarity to Viva la Juicy but it is sweeter and smells better in my opinion. It so uplifting. Noir Tease and Noir are my favorites. I use Tease during the day and Noir for evenings. A beautiful perfume and affordable compared to others. Highly recommend it!

I caught a sniff of this in the VS checkout line and was immediately intrigued by this lovely scent. I was buying something else, but after spraying this on my wrist, I went back and bought the EDP. My only complaint is the packaging. It's ridiculously cheap looking and flimsy. So far it has worked fairly well, but I don't see the atomizer lasting through continued use of the entire bottle. I hope it does as I love this scent. Others have complained of poor last, but I can still smell it on my wrist after a good 8 hours, which is fairly average, for me at least. I have received many compliments on this one..

i recently went to Victoria Secret with my husband to buy a perfume of his liking and out of all the perfumes he chose this one! He said it smelled very sexy, and I agree.

Lovely scent, will be buying again and again I believe. I got the mini-mist and roll on because I fell so in love. Between this and Scandalous, I am in love with these more mature scents. You will love this scent, the name is perfect, maybe because I'm a "noir" lady and I love to smell sweet, but not like highschool, yet not musky either. I can't resist myself honestly, and keep smelling myself over and over. = The atomizer is rather expensive, but I considered buying it! But that was before realising there were cheaper options around! Still, I had to have it! Buy it, you will love this.

AMAZING! My coworker sprayed this and I asked her what it was since I had never smelled it before. It�s clean, fresh, sweet and warm. I don�t like VLJ as it�s a little too strong for me but this Noir Tease is just perfect. I can see the similarities but Tease has something just a little different and not so sharp. I LOVED this so much I got the travel size mist on eBay for $10.

Today I planted myself a vision garden. I thought of the garden as a metaphor of sorts for my own journey of renewal. My garden symbolizes a fresh beautiful start in life... so, when I go out to tend my garden it serves as a reminder that I, much like my garden, can only flourish when tended to.
My vision
I have started a herb garden in addition to my veggie garden[with flowers outlining it!] and since my hubby mulched the herb garden for me, those weeds are being stifled and much LESS showing UP! So, it's off to the garden supply store to get mulch for the rest of the veggie garden now! Am planning to show photos in my gallery of the gardens as they progress!The mulching also SAVES WATER as it helps to keep the ground moist so LESS WATER is needed!
If you develop sudden changes in vision, experience eye pain, or see spots or lights floating in your field of vision, call your ophthalmologist. Even without eye symptoms, diabetes patients should see an ophthalmologist yearly for a routine eye exam. The eyes are important, diabetics can get retinopathy, which can lead to vision loss.Make an appointment today for a check up!

Start with about 4 ounces of chopped up chorizo sausage…or if you prefer a different kind, that's fine too. I use chorizo because it's going to give off a nice little spiciness. Put the sausage in a pan with about 3/4 cup of taco sauce…and again, you can use mild, medium or spicy according to your taste. I use medium. (I'm a little bit of a wimp when it comes to spiciness. Not a mild wimp…a medium one. Just to be clear!) Now heat the mixture up for a couple of minutes, and while it is heating you can mix up your eggs…just beat them up until they are totally mixed and frothy.
Now comes the fun part. Stir some crushed tortilla chips into the sausage mixture, and then divide the mixture among four individual serving dishes (you need nice oven-safe ramekins for this.) Spread it around until the bottoms of each dish are covered. Divide some grated jack cheese among the dishes. Now pour the egg mixture on top, making sure each dish gets an equal amount of egg.
Next you are going to pop them into the oven and bake them until the eggs are set and the top is a nice bubbly brown. I like to put them all together on a baking sheet, which makes putting them in/taking them out of the oven a lot easier. Once they are done, you can either dig in just as they are, or you can add a little taco-style garnish. We liked sour cream and guacamole, but chopped tomatoes, salsa and/or chopped onion would all be scrumptious.
Now, wasn't that easier than doing battle with your omelet pan? I vote yes!

text: 6 months ago I ordered a OCMP Match Rifle kit with a Shaw stainless barrel upgrade.. When I placed the order, I was told 14-16 weeks for delivery.. :scratchchin: I figured that'd work fine, showing up in February or early March, I'd have time to assemble, break in, and get used to the rifle. At the time of order, I asked for tracking numbers when the rifle ships.. I'd gotten them from M1S before on other orders. Well, nothing in Feb, nothing in March, I email to find out I was looking at April for delivery. My credit card got charged, so a week later I again asked for a tracking number because of a very busy work schedule out of town every week, I could ask a friend to pick the box off my step (safe neighborhood) the day it got delivered. Nothing, so I call.. I got some woman who said the box was in shipping but the tracking number would change as soon as the box shipped.. :bigeyes2: Now, I send stuff UPS all the time and I know the number stays with the box until delivery.. I knew I was getting yanked around.. I again asked for the UPS tracking number to be emailed to the email address that placed the original order. (It's the only one I use, and it's the same address I use right here on this website) She said she'd do that after the number was set. Still nothing, I email again to find out when the tracking number would arrive?? I get an email that said only this. "Your package was delivered two days ago.":yikes: I quickly reply back that this meant I had a $700 box of rifle parts sitting on my front steps for TWO DAYS!!! I had a friend stop over and grab the box on his way home, as I was sitting in Ontario, California for work.. He grabbed the box and kept it for me.. I didn't get a chance to stop and thank him and pick up the kit, so yesterday I called and asked if he'd opened the box? Of course he hadn't, so I asked for him to do so.. All that was in the box was the UPPER!! I'd spent $700 and waited 6 months for an upper, when I'd bought an entire kit.. Last night I emailed M1S and asked where the rest of my kit was?? ========================== Today, I got an email sob story about how the order got split, and that the rest of the kit would be delivered tomorrow, along with some extra items.. I called and spoke to some guy and informed him how pissed off I was, and that the can keep the rest of the kit and I'd be returning the Upper and never doing business again with Model 1 Sales!! Oddly enough, he sounded like he'd heard this before and stopped the rest of the kit and said to return the upper for a refund. Not once did I get any sort of appology for the poor service, the smart *** remark about the box already being delivered, or the lies, or the 2 month delay.. He also said that they had sent me the tracking number more than once.. Again, a lie.. The email conversations were all held on the same address that placed the order and paid for the rifle.. ======== I've been a good customer for M1S. This would have been my 4th kit and above that, I've recommended them several times, both in person and on the internet. I never had a problem with the product, but I refuse to be lied to and I won't give my money or recommendation to anyone that has this sort of customer service.:stups: Thanks for allowing me to vent, and if anyone bought from M1S due to my recommendation, I'm very :sad6:

BUENOS AIRES — The election of Pope Francis is raising spirits and hopes throughout the Catholic Church. But what has been the impact on the ground, and what are the prospects of a makeover for a church that often measures changes in terms of centuries rather than days and months? Many of the people who know Pope Francis best, leading Latin American journalists, scholars and religious leaders, say the genuine faith of the Argentinian pope is making a difference with people in the streets and in the pews. Convincing Catholics in high places, however, may be his greatest challenge.[Read Full Column...]
Islam is not the reason nations restrict religious freedom. Nor are open and free elections guarantors of such liberties. What does predict the protection of religious freedom is a free and independent judiciary, according to a major new study.[Read Full Column...]
Lifting up the virtue of humility may seem anachronistic in an age that extols self-adulation. But for Tomas Halik, a Czech priest and philosopher who won the 2014 Templeton Prize, the willingness of religious and secular individuals to engage in dialogue and learn from one another is essential to a civil society. "We must learn to share public space," Halik declares.[Read Full Column...]
Scholars, journalists and the general public have a new tool to determine what trends are emerging as a national consensus on controversial topics such as abortion, homosexuality and the mix of science and religion. The Measurement Wizard of the Association of Religion Data Archives allows users to browse available ARDA data from some 7,700 questions asked in more than 750 major national and international surveys to analyze the major findings on hot-topic issues in religion and public life.[Read Full Column...]
Don't cry for the Catholic Church in Argentina or anywhere else in Latin America. A church in Latin America that was in danger of becoming a stale religious monopoly – witness the malaise throughout much of Western Europe – is reasserting itself in what is a vibrant religious landscape from Mexico to Brazil, according to some researchers.[Read Full Column...]
Gun-control advocates face powerful oppostion even as President Obama vows to make it a priority in his second term. The public outrage over the Newtown school shooting does not appear to have changed many minds among evangelical Protestants who have strongly opposed stricter laws. But over the long term, several factors, from increasing migration to cities to changing attitudes among young evangelicals and the growth of Hispanic Catholics, indicate major changes may be coming.[Read Full Column...]
When it comes to religious tensions, what happens in one part of the world does not necessarily stay in that part of the world. Influences from abroad in recent years were reported to have contributed to religious hostilities or government restrictions in more than six in 10 countries across the globe, according to a new study.[Read Full Column...]
As long as the money from federal loans rolls in, many seminarians find it hard to think ahead to how they are going to pay back the $40,000, $60,000 or $80,000 or more that is their chunk of a student debt tab that has reached $1 trillion. Yet what began as a critical problem for a small percentage of prospective clergy is reaching alarming levels as seminary students get swept up in a national crisis, new research indicates. It is not enough that growing numbers of clergy with burdensome loans report having to put off for years the ability to get married and start a family or buy a house. Now, graduates wanting to explore a religious vocation may be "too poor to take the vow of poverty," one research center commented.[Read Full Column...]
One rarely hears activists from religious traditions other than Islam identified in a shorthand term emphasizing their faith. What American and western audiences are increasingly hearing, however, since the political and social upheaval that accompanied the Arab spring, is the term Islamist. Now there is growing concern that the label that was once welcomed by some as an alternative to more pejorative terms such as Islamic fundamentalist may itself be more a source of stereotyping than understanding.[Read Full Column...]

All rooms have private bathrooms (some with jetted tubs) and modern amenities including free Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs.

I am not sure what happened to my "star" rating for the previous review - Everything about our stay was perfect - we will definitely be recommending this B & B as a perfect romantic getaway - We will be going back!

We stayed at the Amid Summer's Inn for a weekend get away for my husband's birthday. We picked this B&B because it was walking distance to the theatre and, after reading reviews online - the breakfast! Well, actually my husband picked it and I approved after reading online reviews - but most of all, I read somewhere that if you wanted to bring children to call first. I really appreciated that there were no children. Everything exceeded my expectations
- our room was lovely and the breakfast was delicious! I liked the variety - I especially liked having breakfast with the other guests who were very interesting and friendly. The back porch was a wonderful place to chat and relax - the owners were welcoming but not intrusive. I also liked that there was a fridge in our room - we stayed in the Windsor Castle room which I would highly recommend. The room is up a narrow flight of stairs but well worth the climb! It was a perfect weekend and the inn - more than the festival - is the reason we will make this B&B a new tradition for my husband's birthday weekend.

In my view, if its about difficulty in financing and a cheap share price, then i would suggest they approach Sandstorm Metals and Energy, SND, and strike a streaming deal with them. so, they get a capital injection, no dilution to shareholders and no debt addition for a percent of their production.

Just a fishing trip for policy details or a valid disclosure request?
By Sarah Kenyon
Claimants and their solicitors are keen to obtain as much information as possible about defendants' insurance arrangements, but what is an insured defendant obliged to disclose about their private insurance arrangements?
When a potential defendant receives notification of a claim, the individual or company concerned is required to forward details to their professional indemnity insurers pursuant to the terms of the insurance policy. They will invariably be reminded of their need to do this by the claimant or their solicitors. In addition, a claimant will often seek details of their insurance — in particular the name of their insurer and the limit of indemnity. Given the potential prejudice or tactical disadvantage that responding to such a request may cause, is the disclosure request valid (and should it therefore be complied with) or is it just a fishing trip?
In December 2009, the UK introduced the Provision of Services Regulations 2009, which implemented a new European directive. This required the majority of businesses and significantly a number of professional service providers to provide details of their compulsory indemnity insurance (namely the contact details of the insurers and the territorial coverage of the insurance). However, although some claimant solicitors may refer to this in support of their insurance information requests, the regulations do not apply to healthcare services (i.e. individuals and organisations directly providing healthcare). Accordingly, details should not be disclosed under the mistaken belief that it is a legal requirement to do so…

KIA Cold Hawaii PWA World Cup: Day 7
A Windsurfing video by Rav - 1,961 views
As if it knew it was time to stop, the wind dropped for the closing day of the 2012 Cold Hawaii PWA World Cup in Klitmøller on Sunday, after a week of tough competition between the best 43 wave windsurfers in the world. After three successful years of competition, Klitmøller, for decades a place of pilgrimage for the windsurfers in the know, is now firmly on the professionals trail. "It's an established part of the tour now," Rich Page, the PWA tour manager, said. "Klitmøller was an event that that had been years in the development phases working with Rasmus Johnsen (head of new media and technology at the Active Institute at the University of Aarhus) and then later with Robert (Sand, the event manager). So that when it came to fruition it was very well organised. The 'T's had been crossed and the 'I's dotted and that gave it a solid foundation. It was never going to be a flash in the pan. That hard work has paid off and we expect it to continue to grow." And grow it has, driving a digital revolution in the sport. In their inaugural year in 2010, the organisers of Cold Hawaii brought live streaming video technology to the windsurfing World Cup for the first time and this year the introduction of live scoring by the PWA has helped revolutionise the sport.

I truly love many cheapies - I've gotten the most compliments on Toujours Moi and Vanilla Fields (which smells nothing like vanilla to me).
Favorite expensive...hmm...that's a toughie, too. ...
It was a blind buy and I noticed the note right away. I tried it a couple more times because occasionally a scent will grow on me, but no dice.
I bought a bottle of this and it just does not work on me. I like the florals but it has a definite
rubbery odor and gives me a headache. If anyone in the DC area would like to swap any Guerlain,...
Champs Elysee.
You may have to understand a Chicago accent for this one, but years ago my friend was puzzled when her brother asked her for a bottle of Oscar de la Renta "Pour Lui." She said "who the hell wants a...
Definitely the Vanille Givree des Antilles. Also if you're in Sephora, try the Laurence Dumont
Vanille Chocolat.
I've been wearing Coty Vanilla Fields to work. I like to spray it around the car during my long commute, too. It's really not bad, and dirt cheap.
When I was fifteen my dad brought me back a bottle of Miss Dior when he went on a business trip
to Montreal. It was probably lost on my boyfriend at the time, but it started me on a great path! He...
Besides extra fruity stuff, my 14 year old daughter likes Escada Into the Blue.
.Remember that most individuals do not come to therapy because they are in a happy place in life.
Whatever you wear, in future, it may well remind them of not-so-good times. I am speaking from
Violetta for me, but I'm a violet freak!!!
Love it, have had several bottles of it. Essence of spring in a bottle.
On my way home from my new job I stopped in at Rite Aid and also bought Vanilla Fields by Coty. Not really vanilla - smells like a lite version of Songes, sort of. Actually, it smells much better...
In warm weather I wear O de Lancome. I like their lipsticks and eyemakeup remover as well
Jolie Madame for me - a most ladylike leather. But who knows what she does at night?
Easy to find: Coco. On me it is a warmer, sweeter version of Noir d'Epices.
You know, I used to think Angel stunk on me, but I got a sample and still try it every once in a while, and I think it was the patchouli/chocolate combo that took me aback at first. I'm starting to...
Yes, the bottle IS really cute! I noticed there was a Tumulte pour homme, but you were discussing the
"female" version, right? Can you reference me any of the threads? Thanks.
Christian Lecroix Tumulte - went to Marshalls, only 9.99 for 30 ML. A rather successful blind buy.
Is anyone else familiar with this? The dry down is quite nice.
Some of that nice spicy Coco that I bought yesterday!
"Celia's Ultimate Gardenia Perfume" was mentioned. Is this a real scent, and does anyone know whether it's still available? I'm asking because that is my daughter's name and it's relatively rare. ...
Coco EDP (NOT Coco Mlle!). Woo hoo!!!! The Chanels I have purchased in the past were all kind of
blah and ephemeral on me. Not this. I can't get to the directory but I'd love to know who...
CSP Vanille Canelle, underlaid by some cheaper vanilla body creme - Va Va Vanilla from Ulta.
I smell like a Cinnabon store!!!!!
This is a bit different - I was in Zurich in the summer of 1980 (briefly) and it seemed that every woman
was wearing the same lovely heavy floral scent. Anybody know what it was?
Somebody said it...
Cold here today, for Virginia. Think I'll put on Estee Lauder Ambre Nu; it smells like mince pie to me, at first.
Hmm - some of these go WAY back:
Tabu, Emeraude, White Shoulders, L'origan, L'aimant, L'air du temps, Wind Song, Eternity, Imprevu, Chamade, Mitsouko, Champs Elysees, L'Heure bleue, Narcisse Noire,...
Sounds like a wonderful idea. Are we going to post it on SOTD or have a separate thread all month?????
Perhaps she means "Puanteur" which is stench, or stink (noun form). Any native French speakers here?
I'm with Divatologist on the bathing thing.
I thought "Pudeur" meant modesty, and so does my French dictionary which I just double checked???
can someone clarify, please.
Well, as long as we're on this topic, has anyone experienced Marilyn Miglin's Pheromone? I've sampled it twice and both times it smelled like public toilet or nursing home - pee with an overlay of...
I love Ciara. Always have some.
Guerlain Meteorites
EnJoy by Patou. If you're interested see my note under SoTD for today. And it was cheap!!!
EnJoy - I accidentally got what I thought was Joy body creme at TJ Maxx - so I had to get the EDP~! Luckily I found a bottle at Loehmanns for $19.00 - unboxed, but who cares. Love the scent,...
Was in Walmart today and tested Jlo Glow and Glow After Dark, I think it was. The after dark one was OK, but nothing I would purchase.
Anyhow, tonight is Joy.
Chilly and wet here - but hardly cold. Think I'll wear Valentino V and try out the el cheapo lotion I got of it at TJ Maxx, as well.
Versace Bright Crystal didn;'t do it for me - scrubbed it and put on the remainder of my Vanille Givree Des Antilles sample. Much better.
I am trying a sample of Versace Bright Crystal. So far I am not impressed, but BN reviews say it takes a while to develop into something interesting.
In perfume strength only (does one call it "extrait" now?)
Guerlain Chamade
Guerlain Mitsouko
Caron Nuit de Noel
I've had all of them in perfume but they are hard to find and 'spensis', as my...
I would probably wear one if I smelled it blind and loved it - too much of a snob, unfortunately, even to try them in the shops. Then I would only buy it if heavily discounted, because, like many of...
After yesterday's disappointment with Beautiful, I needed to get real.. so it's Jolie Madame today. Now THAT'S a scent.
Unseasonable warm here again today, so another floral. Tried my sample of Estee Lauder Beautiful, which I haven't sniffed for years. Very sharp and unnatural compared to Champs Elysees, my choice of...
It's going to be warm - think I'll put on Champs Elysee after I do the treadmill.
To continue my vanilla/patchouli adventure of yesterday - used a mini sample of Prada. Nice, fruitier than yesterday. But it seems to be fading fast, maybe because I have patch overload?
OMG, I've looked at it at Beauty Cafe, not even too expensive. And there is soap and powder, too!!!
I am resisting the urge to go out and buy a bunch of vanillas today. I bought Vanille Noire de la Mexique yesterday for a friend and got a sample of Vanille Givree. Now I want to go buy that in EDT...
I saw a "Poppy" scent at the Russian store - is anyone familiar with it? I couldn't try it and I'd already bought enough that day, but the fellow was pushing it.
There`re some good perfumes from...
Vanille Givree des Antilles = got a sample at Sephora yesterday. Love it - smells sort of like Angel without the part that goes stinky on me!!!
I like "Red Moscow" in whatever language you wish to use! Discovered it in Budapest in 1979. Also have a "Hyacinth" Russian scent. Got both in a little Russian shop in the Chicago area last year....
I'm feeling a bit uncentered today, a bit disorganized, and I don't have time to get dolled up, so I picked out of my bag of samples. Something called "Inspiration" and it has a little crocodile on...
I wore the EDT yesterday, which is all I have now, and I must admit that I am saving my pennies for the parfum. The new EDT has a bit of a nasty disinfectant smell that passes after about half an...
I was whacked occasionally but what kept my therapist in business was the "KGB" psychological
techniques. Mom missed her calling, let me tell you.
Mitsouko for me today - I need something dry after wafting about in Songes yesterday!
A little while ago I purchased 50 ml of Songes eau de parfum at Loehman's, unsniffed. It wasn't what I expected, but I was trying to get used to it. I noted the color was a distinct red/orange,...
Staying home today and trying to get used to Songes, which I bought blind about a month ago. Hmm.
Laurence Dumont Vanille Violette, still left over from last night. Finished cleaning up after last night's dinner party with old friends today. I guess I didn't overindulge because no hangover...
Oh, no, I can hear my credit cards crying "take us to Walmart and TJ Maxx, pleeeeeeze!"
I might add to this wonderful list:
White Shoulders
Parfum de Coeur Vanilla Fantasy...
If you have a Sephora near you, you might investigate the line of Laurence Dumont gourmand fragrances.
I believe they have one called Vanille Chocolate, as well as many other vanilla frags. I love...
Today's weather passes for cold in Virginia, so it's going to be Red Moscow.
I think they are nice with the new shorter lengths; long ones look like Addams family, IMHO. That being said, as a tax accountant, I couldn't imagine wearing black nail to work.
Liberal spraying of the Tabu I purchased yesterday. Do they make a more concentrated version than the cologne? I remember this scent having a bit more staying power...its
warmth demands it. Maybe...
Box set of Tabu at Walmart - $13.97 for big spray bottle of cologne, little violin-shaped bottle of cologne (remember the ad with the violinist sweeping up his accompanist for a big kiss?) sparkle...
Youth Dew Ambre Nu has a nice mince pie opening note on me. Maybe ginger?
Yesterday my L'aimant and L'origan arrived from Vermont Country Store. Woo hoo!!!!!
Gonna smell like a sophisticated old lady.
Champs elysees, Paris, and does no one like Oscar anymore?
I would say that a Guerlain lover should be very careful buying Annick Goutal unsniffed.
I bought a discount bottle of Songes at Loehman's last week, and, although I like jasmine,
I found the scent...
Oh, yeah...
My husband makes fun of me for sniffing various laundry products before buying them.
He thinks it looks like a commercial from the fifties...
I love the original Gain fragrance as well...
Many Coty scents; L'origan and L'aimant for example, as well as Emeraude, but that is more widely available. Also the Balmains and whatever happened to Diorella?
Laurence Dumont...
Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Canelle.
Discounted at Loehmann's - Annick Goutal Songes. I thought it was spoiled at first but
since the bottle has been opened for a day or two the weird bitter scent has left. It REALLY lasts.
Lavender and vanilla works for me, BBW has a line of Lavender Vanilla Aromatherapy stuff.
Plain lavender is nice too, but it's rather more bracing without the vanilla.
Guess I'll have to save my money for the Limoges one with hummingbirds!
By the way, do these lamps throw more fragrance than the oil thingies you heat with
a votive candle? The kind you can buy...
Oh, man, another thing to spend my money on!!! After trolling online a bit, I'd like to know if the "other" brands of lamp are as good as the brand name Lampe Berger. Anybody with any experience...
I've been burning a Yankee candle "Purrchouli" tart out on the front porch this Halloween evening and it's been wonderful. If anyone sees these on sale after Halloween I suggest you give them a try....
Bed Bath and Beyond and Linens and Things carry Yankee Candles, as well.
I have discovered that I CANNOT wear chocolate -- it smells like something not politely describably on me. The patchouli is OK...but I would have to turn down a bottle of Angel, doesn't work, smells...
Borsari Violette di Parma
Went to New York at the end of June and stopped at Penhaligon's - in my search for violet fragrances got the edt of their Violetta, as well as the dusting powder and bath oil in that scent. That...
I am SO envious!!!!! I will have to retrace your footsteps on my next trip back "home."
Spent the weekend sweating at my daughter's soccer tournament here in Northern Virginia.
Yes, I do, quite a bit.It's sweet but not wimpy or adolescent or foody.Especially with that undertone of something gray and austere,
Anybody else tried this? The line is available at Sephora for $28 a bottle, so I thought I'd give it a whirl. Love violets, love vanilla. It's a lovely sweet scent on the top, violets tempered...
Laugh if you will, but Jovan's Fresh Patchouli is dynamite: the patch is mixed with some kinda green grassy thing. Great for layering over vanilla.
I used to think I hated Patchouli, because of...
I did that once with a bottle of Hungarian plum eau de vie (szilva palinka, or slivovitz,as it is more commonly known). My landlord was not pleased. It stinks up the joint just opening the bottle. ...
O de Lancome, Cabotine, and Jovan Fresh Patchouli.
Eternity and Straw Hat. Sounds funny, but the Straw Hat tones down the overblown elements in Eternity.
Champs Elysee is a frequent go-to in my case.
Red Moscow (Krasnya Moskva) and another Russian Hyacinth scent. BTW, I loved Ruffles!!!
And she was with the Marx Brothers in "A Night at the Opera"!
How about the real "gift" being something you know she'd like, with a little sample size or two of scent tied into the bow, or otherwise presented in an ancillary fashion?
I sympathise with you. The only thing good about being middle-aged is you don't get those evil eyes from the salespeople. I remember it well...
On a similar note, the last time I went to Sephora...
If you're interested, Bath and Body works has a nice Jasmine - Vanilla line of bath and lotion and hair products. Not too expensive and they make the shower smell very nice.
More patchouli and vanilla; this time the vanilla is a rather nice body lotion I bought yesterday (Ulta house brand) and got free in a two-fer. The other item was a vanilla body scrub.
Escada Into the Blue for my daughter's birthday gift. I myself do not care for it, but it's harmless enough for a teenager.
Vanilla Fantasy layered with Jovan Fresh Patchouli. Cheap and wonderful.
I love Meteorites, as well. Also Paris, which is roses and violets. I was surprised about Violet Precieuse because I love violets and I love the Caron house - have never smelled anything I didn't...
Borsari Violetta di Parma.
And I'm longing to try the Santa Maria Novella Violet. In fact, when I go to New York, that's probably what I'll buy, instead of the more incensey or exotic stuff.
OMG, that rap is awesome. Could we get Weird Al Yankovic to do it, with a video? SO funny.
Think I'll go invent a rap about waiting for the plumber.
I also make it point not to wear anything that I wore the FIRST time around.
If one is south of 40, this can be a challenge.
Citta di Kyoto - perfect for a very Italian opera with a Japanese theme.
Pure Puccini, that.
I've become intrigued by Santa Maria Novella. As I will be in NYC in June, I'd like to visit Aedes de Venusta (forgive spelling as I have no reference before me) and wonder what would be the best to...

Weeks before Republican Scott Gessler is to be sworn in as Colorado's new secretary of state, the staff of that agency has waived nearly all of a half-million-dollar campaign-finance fine against one of his legal clients.
Both Gessler, an experienced elections issues lawyer, and officials with the secretary of state's office say his taking the reins of the office in January had nothing to do with the department's Dec. 15 decision to cut the $504,500 in fines against the Colorado Independent Auto Dealers Association down to $8,475.
But both sides also acknowledge the appearance of potential conflict the situation presents.

"Sure, but our job is to be as consistent and fair as possible and not take factors like that into consideration," said Bill Hobbs, deputy secretary of state and the official who approved the decision to reduce the fine.
"I didn't have any communication with Scott Gessler about this," Hobbs said. "I don't know what he thinks about this. For all I know, Scott Gessler is pretty unhappy about this, but I don't know. Eight thousand dollars is still a pretty stiff fine compared to most others."
Gessler also acknowledged the "unusual situation" the case presented and said he was satisfied with the outcome.
"With the way it was resolved, it shows at the end of the day it was a pretty minor matter," Gessler said.
Case raised in election
Current Secretary of State Bernie Buescher, a Democrat who lost to Gessler, had made the case an issue during the campaign. Buescher, though, said he maintained a policy of not being involved in the office's review of fines to avoid the appearance of conflict.
Despite calling the multi-year failure to file reports "a serious transgression" during the campaign, Buescher himself said the office's ruling cutting the fines down was consistent with previous decisions to slash fines. He pointed to the recent campaign-finance case against an organization run by anti-tax activist Douglas Bruce, which was fined $11,000.
"The judge in that case treated the entire failure to file as one failure to file," Buescher said. "I thought that that was a very generous approach by the judge. and I think that it's a very generous approach in this situation."
Failed to file reports
Buescher, though, agreed that it "certainly is awkward" for the office to have to rule in a case involving the incoming secretary of state.
The case involved the political committee run by the Colorado Independent Auto Dealers Association, which represents used-car dealers. The committee did not file required campaign-finance reports for nearly three years, a period during which Gessler was the committee's registered agent for much of the time. Later, another attorney at Gessler's law firm, Hackstaff Gessler, became the registered agent for the committee.
The used-car dealers don't blame Gessler or his law firm. Instead, the association said a contractor it hired to maintain the committee's finances did not make the filings as required by law.
"We were duped. It was a fraudulent-type of activity," said Gary Zimmerman, the executive director who joined the association in August and who discovered that the political committee had not been filing campaign reports as required.
Zimmerman said the contractor had not paid Hackstaff Gessler for several years, and the used-car dealers had essentially become an "inactive client."
Still, in reducing the fines, the secretary of state's office noted in a letter that the law firm, as the registered agent, still was legally obligated to make sure reports were filed.
"A registered agent for any political committee may not simply delegate his/her responsibility to file reports to a third party and thereby relieve the registered agent of all legal duty, including the duty to monitor the performance of contractors," the letter said.
Gessler said he didn't want to comment on that criticism, saying he might have to consider the department's policies on levying fines and didn't want to speak about it publicly until he's reviewed it.
Group's first offense
Hobbs said secretary of state officials based the decision to cut the fines by 98 percent on multiple factors. First, it was the used-car dealers' first offense, and the department typically waives fees completely in those cases. Second, the committee had been largely politically inactive during the period in question, so there was little harm to the public.
Finally, the used-car dealers' association, which otherwise had a history of timely filings, promptly complied with the law after discovering the problem this year.
Despite not wanting to comment on potential policies under his administration, Gessler did say it was "highly unlikely" that he would be involved in the office's decisions about individual fines.

It's highly customizable, very quick and very comfortable to use. But I'm not a mouse guy, and this didn't change my mind. It came very close, though, and if you're a lefty gamer, or just looking for a decent, comfortable left-handed mouse, this does the job admirably.Read the full review →

A powerful accessory for fans of 3D shooters and others who might demand a high degree of customizability in their mice. We wish that Razer had delivered on its promise of Vista support out of the box, but aside from that and a few other issues, the DeathAdder performs exceptionally well.Read the full review →
All in all though, the Deathadder is a diehard gamer's mouse, and is a true performer through and through. You would be hard pressed as a right handed user to find anything better for any need, not just gaming.Read the full review →
The DeathAdder is truly a classic, one that some hardcore players will never walk away from. Razer's software needs an update, however, to bring it into the current age, and if you have wrist problems you may wish to look for something smaller to enable a different grip, like the SteelSeries Xai.Read the full review →
Though lighter than we're used to, and wired, the silky rubberized surface, comfortable curves, and extremely responsive mouse buttons leave us in no hurry to return to the G7. Many of these issues involve a degree of personal taste, but if you're like us you'll like the DeathAdder quite a lot.Read the full review →
The DeathAdder 2013 is missing some buttons and a more comprehensive driver to compete with higher-end models. Plus, it might have trouble rivalling the Roccat Lua—a more or less equivalent model that's considerably less expensive.Read the full review →
For the price, and for the features, the Razer DeathAdder, especially combined with the effective, large surface of the Razer Vespula are going to be ideal fits for all but the most specialized of gamers.Read the full review →

I always thought high speed long distance head shots were completely due to game playing skill of the individual, having owned and used ball mice back in the day and then optical mice made by Microsoft and Logitech. I then received the Deathadder in the mail to match my new gaming machine and...Read the full review →
I love this mouse. I was using a Microsoft Sidewinder before I went and got this one. I love the blue glow and the feel this mouse gives me. Its buttons are placed nicely to where they are out of the way, but this there when needed. It works great if you are just surfing the web or if you are in...Read the full review →
I honestly don't know what I was thinking when I bought this mouse for $60. I don't really play games that much, maybe an occasional round of Dota or 3v3 on Warcraft 3, but for the most part, I am a student that writes a lot. I can tell you that this is an easy 10 for me because it...Read the full review →
I bought this mouse on sale, and never looked back. I have very long, slender hands and this mouse feels great. The huge shoulder buttons are easy to use, and the rubberized grip keeps it firm in my hand. The only gripe is the drivers, which are functional but are a hassle to install and...Read the full review →
I've used this mouse for about a year but the left mouse button would double click frequently after 10-11 months of use. This became annoying extremely fast. The scrolling action would also become screwy and scrolling down would sometimes result in quickly scrolling up then down. Other than that,...Read the full review →
This mouse is the quality of something you'd find in a dollar store. It failed after about 1 month of light use and I had to send it back under warranty. Then a year later it began to double click constantly, and fails to track movement. I took it apart to clean it out but this didn't do...Read the full review →
I own the 2013 edition. The Deathadder is by far the best mouse I've ever used. The shape fits my hand like a glove as a claw user. The sensor is amazing, I haven't had any issues with it at all - no jumping, acceleration, angle snapping, or anything. Amazing. The sensor is incredibly accurate,...Read the full review →
I wanted to get a real mouse for awhile because I had been using a wireless mouse that ate up battery power like no other. I picked up my Deathadder at Best Buy on sale (yea, I was surprised too)! The cord is three meters, I believe, and it is braided. One of the caveats I had when I was...Read the full review →
Best mouse around. Far better than Razer's more expensive options.Read the full review →
Comfort: Perfect for both claw and palm grip. Perfect for large hands. I love it. Nothing else to say. Most of surface is covered by a rubberised material, which I love. No sweating no slippery, perfect feeling. Probably feels the best mouse on comfort at the moment. Form Factor: You can reach...Read the full review →
One of the best mice I have used to date (Logi MX518>G5>Fatal1ty>DeathAdder & Diamondback 3G). This mouse has an exceptional 1kHz poling rate (how frequently the computer and mouse communicate with each other). Its DPI is perfectly adequate but be prepared to drop your in game sensitivity to...Read the full review →
