It's good one! Had it before. Also L'Nuit
I am a 35 year old male. Is this a good cologne for a young gentleman in the business world? Dates? My next purchase is either going to be this, Angel or Givenchy Gentleman.
Thanks as...
Where can you find vintage bottles of this? I'm scared of Ebay.
I just ordered another bottle of the King. I've received more compliments on this, Givenchy Gentleman and Burberry London than I can count. They blow the niche frags out of the water! More for me!!!
I have not. Great idea!
Looking for some fall suggestions and preferably something exotic. Currently wearing Burberry London along with some amber oil. It smells great!!! Thanks for any input!!
I haven't gut-laughed like this in awhile. Sycomore isn't even a good vetiver. Grey Vetiver crushes it. I'm wearing it today. A very basic, non-potent $200 bottle of plain jane vetiver. Nothing...
I haven't yet but may at some point. Great idea!
So I ordered these 5 samples...
Chanel Coromandel
Chanel Sycomore
By Kilian - Straight to Heaven
Tom Ford Noir de Noir
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille
It's not even funny how much better...
Is it just me or does this smell like a $4 bag of cheap potpurri?
keep em' coming thanks
Which one should I get?
Hi, I'm looking to purchase some Allure Homme Sport and am looking for the best place to get it online. Also, is the extreme version any better? Thanks for any help!!
Thanks ladies!!
I have a 24 year old cousin that is getting married this weekend and I'm looking to get her some Chanel perfume. What's the best of these 3? Chance, Allure or Coco Mademoiselle? Thanks for any help!!
I just received samples of both of these in the mail and I have to say these are now #1 and #2 in my arsenal. Are any of the other Tom Fords on the same level? Why do they have to be sooooooo...
Nope. It's a $330 bottle of Irish Spring soap. Similar to buying a $10,000 t-shirt
I have a question for you guys - I've brought up this wet shaving with a safety razor to my dad and he just rolls laughing. I told him how it's making a comeback. He says we were incredibly happy not...
Does anyone know of any other retailers that you can get decants from aside from the perfumed court? I placed an order there on the 24th of January and still haven't recieved it. If they are going to...
A friend wears it and had it on after the gym and it smelled great. I asked what it was. They had the other Adidas scents there as well and this one is the only one that is good. The others are awful.
YSL #winning
No joke I have received more compliments out of nowhere while wearing this stuff and I have worn a ton of different scents ranging from cheap to niche. This stuff is $10 and crazy good.
I would love to trade this for something different. The two high on my list are Acqua di Parma Essenza and Guerlain Vetiver. I would obviously pay more for the AdP but hit me up with any possible...
Just got a new bottle of YSL L'Homme and got a compliment the first night I wore it. It ended up being a pretty good night ;). I like it a lot! Very classy!
Just ordered this. Replacing my Chanel Bleu which I am bored with. Next buy is the best male cologne of all time - Angel Men.
Guys, you have to remember that the sillage is what others smell and what you smell when you catch a whiff of someone's fragrance.
It just smells great and women absolutely love it. Go for it! I'm going to buy a huge bottle soon.
Water Caligraphy
You guys do realize A*Men is one of the best men's frags ever developed, right? Wasn't sure. DHI is an overblown lipstick chocolate bomb. It's nothing special.
Could I convince anyone to send me a small sample of this? :D
How do you like the juice? So sad if you can't get the other one anymore.
Tell him to keep it to 1-2 sprays and he will be in royal company. Remarkable fragrance.
Is the current reformulation bottle like the old ribbed ones? Not super important but was interested. Going to be my next purchase along with a bottle of Kouros and Angel Men.
I can say as a man that Chanel Coco and Coco Mademoiselle and Angel are the 3 that I always notice. Add Jimmy Choo in a s well. They just are that much better than the rest.
Can't forget Narcisco...
Don't know but I want her...BAD
Thank you gents~
I'm in a pinch for time before Christmas! Thanks
Egoiste has something in it I don't like. Don't get the hype.
I was at Whole Foods today and rolled on some high quality patchouli oil. I'm amazed at how refined it smells and may start using a little to go along with what I wear on a daily basis. Plus, it's...
I just received my sample and honestly can't begin to understand what the hype is all about. Maybe my nose isn't as noble as some of yours. I think I will just stick to my Bleu, Kouros and Angel Men.
Not being smart but save your money and buy a huge bottle of Aventus. You only need one if it's that good.
Kouros, Angel or Aventus
I enjoy the smell of barber shop products and a lot of them have bergamot as the main frag. Does anyone know where I might start looking for a fragrance with that classic smell? Thanks
In Angel Men you already have one of the best smelling men's scents ever created. That's a start.
I have an over 2/3 full bottle of reformulation Gentleman. It's the 3.3 ounce bottle. The big one. I'm looking to trade it for Angel Men, Opium Pour Homme, Kiehl's Original Musk, Dior Homme or...
It smells like Irish Spring. Has nothing on Kouros the King.
Wow this has to be a joke. It's almost offensively sweet. Charging any more than $5 for this is robbery. Tom, I expected more, bro.
Chalk another up for Chanel Bleu de Chanel. Works everytime 100% of the time :)
Easily Boucheron Jaipur and it's not close.
Just ordered samples of both. What can I expect and thanks as always!
I'd say that say a lot about the fragrance. They wouldn't wear it if it didn't smell great! Popularity isn't negative in this instance. In this case, it means 1 out of 2 women you know smells REALLY...
Was out last night and ran into two of my girlfriends (just friends). One wears Coco and the other wears Mademoiselle. I'm telling you ladies, these two frags are just that much better than all the...
Uh no. Almost anything smells better than coochie.
I'm sorry but Angel isn't overrated. It's one of the best of all time. Chanel N. 5 is vastly overrated. It's not even in Chanel's top 5 for women.
Get her a Chanel. Women who wear Chanel stand out of the pack.
My next bottle is going to be Egoiste but I went with Gentleman. I've been wearing it all week and have received compliments. It smells GOOD! Even with the younger crowd they seem to like it. One of...
Currently Givenchy Gentleman is the ticket. It's most noble. If I had Kouros, it would be up there as well.
Thanks again guys!!
I'm either going to get a large bottle of Egoiste or Givenchy Gentleman. I love both but can only afford one. I would use it at work and evening events. Thanks, gents!
Thanks as always, gents!!
Looking to try them all. Have heard they are good. Any recommendations? Thanks
It's a great frag. Just extremely overpriced and underpowered. I can't wait until they come out with a knock off so I can reload. I get far more compliments from Bleu de Chanel than Aventus.
Nope not even remotely close. Flowerbomb = cotton candy
One of my gf's had it on the other night and it's truly one of the best female fragrances I've ever come across. Is it similar to Narcisco Rodriquez for her? You ladies should check it out!
Do you have reservations at Dorsia Friday night?
Trust me, they are only missing out. It's magic to women. It smells good and they seem to be attracted to it in a big way. It's been a good summer.
Where do I get this? Having major trouble. Thanks
Do I go with the original or lavender sage? Thanks
Chalk another one up for Bleu de Chanel. People dog it but it gets results 100% of the time. They love it.
Creed sucks! Horrible horrible longevity sans Original Santal but that is just an expensive Joop/Mont Blanc Individuel. I'm done with Creed. You can buy 6 very nice colognes for the price of 1 bottle...
Was just on the Chanel site buying some Egoiste and saw this scent. Must be new as I hadn't heard of it before now. A lavender-based scent.
Thanks as always, gents!
I'm having trouble finding Egoiste in stock. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm beginning to think there is no need for the EDP.
Thanks for the input! From reading reviews online, it basically reads as it's stronger with not much difference in composition.
Buy the original A*Men as it is better and one of the best men's scents out there period.
Looking to buy this after sampling and wondering if there is that much difference. I sampled the EDP. Thanks as always for any help!!
Looking for small bottles but wouldn't mind large ones. PM me with prices. Thanks
Guys, I'm having a hard time taking some of you seriously. DHI is ok but A*Men is one of the best men's fragrances ever created.
I just received a sample of this and after owning Creed Original Santal in the past, I can say with no shame that this juice is 100% identical in smell at a fraction of the cost. I'm truly shocked...
Bleu is better and more versatile. Women love it!
Thanks for the reply! All 3 have been mentioned on here and fairly popular so I figured I would give them a shot.
Just ordered Boucheron Jaipur EDP, Hermes Rocabar and Mont Blanc Individuel. Thoughts on these? I've heard Mont Blanc is similar to Creed Original Santal which is one of my favorites but won't shell...
You can exactly simulate Gold by going out and getting yourself a bottle of Baby Magic shampoo. I'm not kidding one bit. Oh, and it's almost $297 cheaper.
Kouros 1 spray. Magic
In addition, I wouldn't waste that fine juice at work anyway. Givenchy Gentleman is a perfect work scent. Bleu de Chanel is a great work scent as well.
Are you Jersey Joe from Youtube by chance?
Try 8 sprays of Kouros or Angel Men. Ha
Dude 8 sprays is prolly about $7. Take it easy. 2-3 at most.
It's no big deal. Aventus and Original Santal blow it out of the water.
Well I just bought Egoiste from a beautiful young lady tonight that thinks it's the best they sell so...
Kouros one spray to the chest will be one of the best things you will ever smell. Just don't use it in cold weather. It's magic in warm weather.
Close. Egoiste and Bleu. I have a bottle of Egoiste in transit. Can't wait!
The last men's only fine clothing store that I was in only had Chanel and Creed men's fragrances. Can you guess which two Chanel's they had?
Kiehl's or Anthony's. Jack Black is crap.
Angel Men has to be up there. It's absolutely incredible!!!
Please PM me if you have a bottle available. Thanks
Couldn't wait and tried Gentleman tonight. I'm just shocked that I haven't tried any of these up to this point. It's another great one and will be sitting on my dresser in no time. If I could afford...

The world's biggest historic landslide occurred during the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, a volcano in the Cascade Mountain Range in the State of Washington, USA. The volume of material was 2.8 cubic kilometers (km).
See the list of worldwide catastrophic landslides of the 20th century.
At this time there is no collective landslide inventory for the entire United States.
Detailed locations of areas susceptible to debris flows are given on "Preliminary Soil-Slip Susceptibility Maps, Southwestern California" published as U.S.
Several kinds of maps are used to depict danger from landslides.
Under what circumstances do U.S. Geological Survey landslide personnel conduct field work in landslide prone areas?
USGS landslide researchers have ongoing field projects in several areas of the U.S., including parts of the Pacific coastal ranges, Rocky Mountains, and the Appalachians.
It's not possible to exactly predict the number of days or weeks that landslides remain a danger after heavy rain. Residents near mountain slopes, canyons, and landslide prone areas should stay alert even after heavy rain subsides.
Wild land fires are inevitable in the western United States.
Yes. The USGS Landslide Hazards Program website has recent publications that can help you find landslide information.
The U.S. Geological Survey Landslide Information Center has a toll-free number at 1-800-654-4966, and can be reached by email at email@example.com.

"If you want to be famous, you must do something more badly than anybody in the entire world." Miroslav Tichý
I've built two darkrooms with ventilation based on filtered inward blowers rather than extractor fans. The blower fan is mounted anywhere in a back darkroom wall or (inward opening) door and the air outlet is a passive vent in the wall at the far side of the sink. Advantages include:
The fan and its noise are at the back of the room away from your ears. That's so you can hear your sound system better.
The darkroom is positively pressurised so dust and smells leak out rather than being sucked in. The darkroom door is being pushed shut by air pressure and seals better.
Air movement is away from your face, across the trays, and out the vent on the far side of the sink.
Importantly, the ability to detect something with your nose does not mandate harm or potential harm. Low or no odour chemistry is available for those still worry. And the dust being suppressed is not chemical powder but rather ordinary house dust. No one serious about a clean workspace mixes powders in a darkroom. A few stray specks of fixer powder won't hurt you but they will instantly ruin expensive film and paper wherever they touch.
Darkroom processing solutions are much safer on a relative basis than household cleaners, gasoline, or whisky but fear of "chemicals" is still rife. I'm not the most adroit searcher of the internet but I can't find a single substantiated, documented instance of toxic harm coming to anyone in the world in a non-commercial photographic darkroom in the last few years. Fear, anxiety, and anecdotes, yes; harm, no.
I used to be a research chemist and toxicologist until I went commercial. Here are a couple of old incidents from my time as the hot-line guy for Eastman Chemicals:
A darkroom worker complains of headaches, dizziness, and general malaise while working in a well ventilated darkroom. He blames the "fumes" from the "chemicals".
When I check his work space I find that the guy is doing 5 hour darkroom sessions while wearing a double cartridge (dust and vapour) face mask. He's got a deep fear of chemicals but what's getting him is ordinary anoxia because he's not breathing adequately.
An urgent call comes through from someone with metol allergy. The stuff is literally eating his hands even though he is wearing surgical gloves. It turns out that the victim has latex allergy from the gloves and the metol is innocent. But the story has spread to every darkroom in town and it takes ages to hose it all down.
Sometimes dramatic behaviour stemming from the fear of chemicals is more dangerous than the chemicals themselves. A darkroom that requires respirators and gloves for worker survival is absolutely not worth going into at any price. Clean air, clean surfaces, and ordinary common sense work practice has routinely delivered darkroom safety for more than a hundred years.
Photography, the word itself, invented and defined by its author Sir John.F.W.Herschel, 14 March 1839 at the Royal Society, Somerset House, London. Quote "...Photography or the application of the Chemical rays of light to the purpose of pictorial representation,..". unquote.

Mother of 3 gets new car thanks to local auto body shop
Gabriela Subero's birthday isn't until March but she said she got an early birthday gift Friday.The single mother of three, who cleans houses for a living, received a refurbished 2006 Toyota Corolla from Master Auto Body in Boynton Beach.
The car was donated by Allstate Insurance, and mechanics at the Master Auto repaired and repainted it.
The free gift was made possible through the national program called Recycled Rides, which provides cars for recommended families that can use a car.
Subero was nominated by the local charity called Family Promise, which helps families with children experiencing homelessness become independent.
"It's very important for my kids. I'll be able to transport them to school, do grocery shopping and be able to go to work. It's all about my kids," said Subero. [WPBF News]
Lending a helping hand
Bat mitzvah project helps homeless children
Staff Writer
Isabella Malaga, 13, of Boca Raton, recently decided to give the gift of play to homeless children for her bat mitzvah project.
Malaga asked family and friends to save their change in the Houses for Change house-shaped, cardboard tzedakah (charity) boxes she distributed to guests before her celebration at B'nai Torah Congregation in Boca Raton in May.
Malaga collected more than $2,000 that was used to create a playground for the homeless children being assisted by the Delray Beach-based Family Promise of South Palm Beach County.
The new playground is at the Family Promise Day Center in Delray.
Volunteers from local churches, synagogues and other community groups alternate between serving food and providing company for homeless families in the Family Promise interfaith network.
Malaga volunteered by serving food and playing with the children, but was dismayed that the children didn't have a playground.
"We have raised Isabella to be philanthropic and to think the same way we do," said her father, Marc. "She's involved in many different charities, but she took a liking to this one and decided to help out the children."
Isabella also convinced Mike Skiera, owner of The Hitching Post backyard specialty store in Delray Beach, to contribute a playground set.
"We are very grateful for the opportunity to work with Isabella and the good people of Family Promise on the donation of this play set," Skiera said. "We hope it will bring hours of happiness to the children and we are honored they brought us this request."
Houses for Change was founded by B'nai Torah member Mark Wasserman, of Boca Raton, who came up with the idea for the house-shaped tzedakah boxes four years ago to raise money and awareness for the homeless and provide an experiential project for kids.
Wasserman said that in the past four years 30,000 kids across the country have raised $400,000 for homeless charities through Houses for Change. Locally, $6,000 has been raised for Family Promise of South Palm Beach County.
For more information, visit http://www.familypromise.org/housesforchange or contact Wasserman at firstname.lastname@example.com or 561-699-5116.

ST precedent was with the Excelsior as NX-2000, experimental vessel. When Excelsior later went into service, we see NCC-2000. Makes sense.
Then we see Enterprise as NX-01, using the NX again to denote experimental vessel. Fair enough, new warp five engine and all that.
But then the Enterprise goes into service for Star Fleet, it should have been become NCC-01. It was no longer serving as an experimental vessel, it was being put into service on missions.
Yes? No?
Tell that to Captain Sisko and his USS Defiant NX-74205. And then his replacement Defiant also numbered NX-74205.
But seriously, Enterprise NX-01 was NX-class, just like the Botany Bay was DY-class (as
C.E. Evans
pointed out) and the Horizon was J-class. Perhaps "NX-" being used as an experimental registry was a tribute to the first Starship Enterprise and her sister ships.
Or maybe they just wanted a big "X" on the hull 'coz it was kewl.

While reporting on vasectomies, a news anchor gets visually distracted and can't keep his schoolboy giggles to himself. Soon thereafter, the camera person joins in on the fun and the report takes a surprising below-the-belt detour. So much for serious broadcast journalism!

Daily Reads: On the 800th Anniversary of Magna Carta
According to the usual history, "On June 15, 1215, in a field at Runnymede, King John affixed his seal to Magna Carta. Confronted by 40 rebellious barons, he consented to their demands in order to avert civil war." The civil war was not successfully averted, but the document has come to symbolize principles of liberties and rights, including as a precursor to the United States Constitution.
Important daily reads to celebrate the anniversary include:
The document itself, with its specific items regarding freemen, property, writs, and the memorable "No-one is to be taken or imprisoned on the appeal of woman for the death of anyone save for the death of that woman's husband."
A good overview is from the BBC magazine, which points outs that most of its provisions applied only to ""Free men" who in 1215 accounted for less than half the population; the rest were serfs, to whom the charter did not apply, as well as women and children.
ConLawProf Tom Ginsburg's Op-Ed in the New York Times entitled "Stop Revering Magna Carta," in which he argues that the Magna Carta's current status rests on a series of misunderstandings.
The current celebrations and controversies in "England" including not only commemoration by Queen Elizabeth, but statements by Prime Minister Cameron that Great Britain must "restore" its dedication to "human rights" as evinced in Magna Carta by secession from the European Court of Human Rights and Human Rights Act.

California Supreme Court on Citizenship and Bar Admission
In its opinion in In re Hong Yen Chang on Admission, the California Supreme Court granted posthumous admission to the bar and reversed its more than a century-old decision in In re Hong Yen Chang 84 Cal. 163 (1890). The case was brought by LawProf Gabriel "Jack" Chin and students at UC-Davis College of Law.
Although Chang had been naturalized and was a lawyer in New York, a combination of the notorious Chinese Exclusion Act, upheld by the United States Supreme Court in Chae Chan Ping v. United States (1889), which prohibited naturalization of Chinese persons and the California requirement that members of the bar be citizens, the 1890 California Supreme Court held that Chang was not a "bona fide" citizen and could thus not be a member of the bar. In discussing the decision, the 2015 California Supreme Court stated:
Understanding the significance of our two-page decision denying Chang admission to the bar requires a candid reckoning with a sordid chapter of our state and national history.
Yet the court's opinion is not only of historic note. In discussing the repudiation of the sordid chapter, the California Supreme Court wrote:
More than a century later, the legal and policy underpinnings of our 1890 decision have been discredited. In 1972, this court unanimously held it was "constitutionally indefensible" to forbid noncitizens to practice law, calling such a ban "the lingering vestige of a xenophobic attitude" that "should now be allowed to join those anachronistic classifications among the crumbled pedestals of history." (Raffaelli v. Committee of Bar Examiners (1972) 7 Cal.3d 288, 291.) One year later, the high court reached the same conclusion. (In re Griffiths (1973) 413 U.S. 717.) In 2013, our Legislature passed a law making undocumented immigrants eligible for admission to the State Bar. (Bus. & Prof. Code, § 6064, subd. (b).) We thereafter granted admission to an undocumented immigrant who had been brought to the United States as a child, put himself through college and law school, passed the California bar exam, and met the requirement of good moral character. (In re Garcia (2014) 58 Cal.4th 440, 466.) We said "the fact that an undocumented immigrant is present in the United States without lawful authorization does not itself involve moral turpitude or demonstrate moral unfitness so as to justify exclusion from the State Bar, or prevent the individual from taking an oath promising faithfully to discharge the duty to support the Constitution and laws of the United States and California." (Id. at p. 460.)
While California has allowed noncitizens to be attorneys as the court notes, the issue is pending in other states, including - - - perhaps paradoxically - - - New York.

Right to Strike in Canada
The Supreme Court of Canada ruled last week that the Saskatchewan Public Service Essential Services Act (PSESA), which limited the ability of public sector employees who perform essential services to strike, violated the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. At the same time, the court upheld an act that increased the level of required written support, and reduced the time period for receiving support, to certify a union.
In striking the PSESA, the court held that the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Section 2(d), free association, protects a fundamental right to strike, and that the PSESA wasn't saved by Section 1, the "reasonable limits" provision. The court wrote that the right to strike is "an indispensable component of" the right to bargain collectively, and "essential to realizing" the values of "human dignity, equality, liberty, and respect for the autonomy of the person and the enhancement of democracy." The court also noted that "international obligations also mandate protecting the right to strike . . . ."
The court said that the breach of Section 2(d) wasn't justified by Section 1, which "guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in [the Charter] subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society." The court wrote that the maintenance of essential public services is obviously "pressing and substantial," but that the PSESA wasn't sufficiently tailored. In particular, the court said that the PSESA allows too much given in defining "essential services" and the employees who perform them.
Two justices dissented, arguing that the political branches should have the flexibility to determine the scope of workers' ability to strike.

Daily Reads: On Torture
With the publication of the more than 500 page "Executive Summary" of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence Committee Study of the Central Intelligence Agency's Detention and Interrogation Program (searchable document here), the subject of torture is dominating many public discussions.
A few items worth a look (or second look):
In French, Justice Scalia's interview with Le Journal du matin de la RTS (videos and report) published today. One need only be marginally fluent in French to understand the headline: "La torture pas anticonstitutionnelle", dit le doyen de la Cour suprême US. (h/t Prof Darren Rosenblum).
The French report will not surprise anyone familiar with Justice Scalia's discussion of torture from the 2008 "60 Minutes" interview discussed and excerpted here.
The "ticking time bomb" discussion in Scalia's remarks is the subject of an interesting commentary by ConLawProf Rosa Brooks in Foreign Policy provocatively entitled "Tick, Tick, Bull, Shit."
And while Justice Scalia contended that defining torture is going to be a "nice trick," LawProf David Luban's 2014 book Torture, Power, and Law offers very explicit definitions, even as it argues that these definitions can erode as torture becomes "normalized," seemingly giving credence to Scalia's point.

Daily Read (and Videos): James Risen on James Risen
With the denial of certiorari in James Risen's case by the United States Supreme Court in June 2014, from the Fourth Circuit's divided opinion in United States v. Sterling, the situation of James Risen is in limbo. In large part, it was Risen's book, State of War that led to his current difficulties because he will not reveal a source.
Now Risen has a new book, Pay Any Price: Greed, Power, and Endless War, just reviewed in the NYT. As part of the book promotion - - - but also quite relevant to the case against Risen - - - Risen has made several media appearances of note, with the twist on the book title being that it's James Risen who is prepared to "pay any price" to protect his journalistic integrity (and by implication resist governmental power).
Perhaps the most populist of Risen's appearances is in an extended segment of the television show "60 minutes" including not only James Risen but others. The segment explains and situates the controversy, including its current status under President Obama. It also includes statements by General Mike Hayden that he is at least "conflicted" about whether Risen should be pursued for not divulging his source(s), even as Hayden expresses his view that NSA surveillance is "warantless but not unwarranted."
The entire segment is definitely worth watching:
Springboarding to some extent from General Hayden's remarks is Risen's extensive interview with Amy Goodman on Democracy Now (full video and the helpful transcript is here), in which Risen talks about his arguments in the book and a bit about his own predictament, concluding by saying:
AMY GOODMAN: So, you're covering the very people who could put you in jail.
JAMES RISEN: Yeah, sometimes, yes. As I said earlier, that's the only way to deal with this, is to keep going and to keep—the only thing that the government respects is staying aggressive and continuing to investigate what the government is doing. And that's the only way that we in the journalism industry can kind of force—you know, push the government back against the—to maintain press freedom in the United States.
A third noteworthy appearance by Risen is his interview by Terry Gross on NPR's Fresh Air (audio and transcript available here). One of the most interesting portions is near the end, with the discussion of the contrast to the celebrated Watergate investigation of Woodward and Bernstein and Risen's solution of a federal shield law for reporters.
For ConLawProfs teaching First Amendment, these "sources" could be well-used.

No Head-of-State Immunity for Finance Minister
Judge James E. Boasberg (D.D.C.) ruled earlier this week in Sikhs for Justice v. Singh that while Manmohan Singh enjoyed head-of-state immunity from suit in U.S. federal court for acts committed while he was Prime Minister of India, that immunity did not extend to acts he took earlier, when he was Finance Minister. They ruling means that the plaintiff's case against Singh for acts he took while Finance Minister can move forward, but that Singh is immune from suit for acts he took while Prime Minister.
Plaintiffs Sikhs for Justice alleged that Singh tortured and killed Indian Sikhs during his time as Prime Minister and before, when he was Finance Minister. The group filed suit in the D.C. District while Singh was Prime Minister, but Singh then left office (or, rather, got voted out). The government filed a Suggestion of Immunity, arguing that Singh enjoyed head-of-state immunity for acts he committed as Prime Minister. But it didn't state a position on immunity for acts before Singh became Prime Minister, when he was Finance Minister.
Judge Boasberg ruled that Singh wasn't immune for those acts. In a case of apparent first impression, Judge Boasberg said that "[w]hile Singh's alleged acts as Finance Minister are not 'private' per se, they did not occur in the course of his official duties as head of state; accordingly they are not encompassed within the purview of head-of-state immunity."
Judge Boasberg, however, adopted the government's position and granted immunity for acts taken while Singh was Prime Minister. Judge Boasberg also ruled that Singh enjoyed risidual immunity for those acts after he left office.
The upshot is that the plaintiff's case can proceed against Singh for acts he took as Finance Minister, but not for acts he took as Prime Minister, even after he left office.

Carol Anne Bond Prevails in United States Supreme Court: Court Avoids Treaty Power Ruling
On her second trip to the United States Supreme Court, Carol Anne Bond prevailed again.
Recall that Carol Anne Bond was convicted of a crime in violation of the Chemical Weapons Implementation Act, 18 U.S.C. § 229(a), passed to implement a treaty , the Chemical Weapons Convention. But the fact that she is not a "terrorist," but rather a "vengeful" participant in a "love triangle" has caused much consternation. While the international arms-control agreement prohibits nation-states from producing, stockpiling, or using chemical weapons, Bond, a biologist, used her expertise to spread injurious chemicals on the property of her former best friend, after learning that the friend was pregnant by Bond's husband. Although Bond was prosecuted in state court, she continued her campaign against her former friend and she was eventually prosecuted in federal court.
Recall that in 2011, the Court unanimously held that Bond could raise a Tenth Amendment claim in her prosecution, reversing the Third Circuit. On remand, the Third Circuit rejected Bond's argument to "set aside as inapplicable the landmark decision Missouri v. Holland, 252 U.S. 416 (1920), which is sometimes cited for the proposition that the Tenth Amendment has no bearing on Congress's ability to legislate in furtherance of the Treaty Power in Article II, § 2 of the Constitution."
Today's opinion in Bond v. United States again reverses the Third Circuit. The focus in oral argument was on the Treaty power and whether a treaty can alter constitutional structures, namely federalism. And while today's decision is unanimous, there are multiple concurring opinions.
The opinion for the Court, authored by Chief Justice Roberts, and joined by Justices Kennedy, Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan, is a relatively brief 21 pages and notes that the Bond's case is "unusual" and thus the "analysis is appropriately limited." For the Court,
the global need to prevent chemical warfare does not require the Federal Government to reach into the kitchen cupboard, or to treat a local assault with a chemical irritant as the deployment of a chemical weapon. There is no reason to suppose that Congress—in implementing the Convention on Chemical Weapons—thought otherwise.
Essentially, the Court practices constitutional avoidance by construing the statute narrowly; there is no need to confront Holland v. Missouri's holding regarding the constitutional parameters of Congress's treaty power.
Indeed, the Court only mentions Holland in its discussion of the Third Circuit's holding and Bond's arguments; it notes that notwithstanding that "debate" there is a "well-established principle" of constitutional avoidance and includes a citation to Ashwander v. TVA, 297 U. S. 288, 347 (1936) (Brandeis, J., concurring). Because "Bond argues that section 229 does not cover her conduct" it considers "that argument first," and finds it decides the issue.
In a nutshell, the Court concludes that the federal prosecutors exceeded the power the statute gave them - - - and thus there is no need to decide whether Congress exceeded the power the Constitution's treaty and necessary and proper powers gave it.
Justice Scalia, concurring and joined by Thomas, would conclude that the statute clearly covers Bond's Act and therefore is unconstitutional. Justice Thomas writes a separate concurrence, joined by Scalia and in part by Alito, writes separately to "suggest that the Treaty Power is itself a limited federal power." And in a very brief opinion, Alito argues that the "insofar as the Convention may be read to obligate the United States to enact domestic legislation criminalizing conduct of the sort at issue in this case, which typically is the sort of conduct regulated by the States, the Convention exceeds the scope of the treaty power" and thus the statute "lies outside Congress' reach unless supported by some other power enumerated in the Constitution."
So, while the opinion is "unanimous," the three Justices considered to be the most conservative and perhaps most hostile to international law, would have limited Congress' power to implement treaties made pursuant to Article II §2 allowing the executive to "make Treaties, provided two thirds of the Senators present concur."
And for ConLawProfs, it demonstrates the relevance of the "Ashwander doctrine" as a part of constitutional law courses.

Abe to Reinterpret Japan's Pacifist Constitution
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe plans to change Japan's pacifist constitution--not by amending it, but by reinterpreting it.
Abe is expected to announce a plan to amend several laws that would allow the Japanese Self-Defense Forces to engage in collective self-defense, that is, military defense of allied countries even when Japan is not directly threatened. This will mark a shift in the role of Japan's military overseas, which is currently limited to non-combat peacekeeping duties under Article 9 of the Constitution. Article 9 reads:
Renunciation of War. Aspiring sincerely to an international peace based on justice and order, the Japanese people forever renounce war as a sovereign right of the nation and the threat or use of force as a means of settling international disputes.
In order to accomplish the aim of the preceding paragraph, land, sea, and air forces, as well as other war potential, will never be maintained. The right of belligerency of the state will not be recognized.
Abe's plan is designed to sidestep the more cumbersome constitutional amendment process. But it has drawn critics: a high-profile group of scholars and writers have denounced the plan, and there's a campaign afoot to get Article 9 (the traditional, pacifist version) on the Nobel Committee's radar screen for the Peace Prize as a way to push back against Abe's reinterpretation.
If successful, Abe's plan would change 60 of practice under Article 9--without a constitutional amendment.
We posted on the issues here. The Financial Times covered Abe's plan here; The Christian Science Monitor covered it here.

A Conversation with the Chief Justice of the South African Con Court
Drew Cohen recently published A Constitution at a Crossroads: A Conversation with the Chief Justice of the Constitutional Court of South Africa in the Northwestern Journal of International Human Rights. The interview covers transformative constitutionalism (including judicial transformation and the role of judges) and current constitutional issues in South Africa, with some background and context for the uninitiated. It's a terrific piece on the current and future state of South African constitutionalism; it has some gems on comparative constitutionalism, as well.
Cohen, a contributor to U.S. News & World Report and The Huffington Post, is a former foreign law clerk to Chief Justice Mogoeng Mogoeng, whom he interviewed for this piece.
Here's a clip of the Chief Justice's response to Cohen's question whether South African judges should be "umpires":
Given our background and our Constitution, judges do not have the luxury to sit back and pretend that we do not have serious challenges, which can be addressed through a passive justice system. I do not think we can afford to be the type of umpires Chief Justice Roberts had in mind.
Whatever we, as judges, do must facilitate nation-building so far as the case makes it possible by actively addressing the socioeconomic challenges that still confront certain sectors of the community as well as addressing the position of women in every sector of our society. Whereas that may not be feasible for judges in the U.S., it must [be the case] in South Africa. We have a different set of challenges that require judges to be somewhat proactive in the manner in which they approach their judicial responsibilities.
On the use of foreign law:
Once our jurisprudence gets settled, once it gets to the point that everyone can say that it is fairly well developed, there will be very little reason to rely as much as we used to on the jurisprudence of other countries. With that said, obviously, we will still need to have some regard to the latest developments in comparable jurisdictions. This is particularly true with regards to the area of socioeconomic rights and property law.
On closing the gap between reality and an aspirational Constitution:
What the Court can do, however, is interpret the Constitution in a manner so as to ensure that every official who has a constitutional responsibility to close that gap . . . are held accountable.
I think that the Court, however, has done fairly well in its efforts to close that gap. Look at our judgments dealing with socioeconomic rights[,] . . . health issues[,] . . . housing[,] . . . natural resources . . . .
On the next big issues:
The next major court battles will involve the agricultural sector. If you look at the agricultural sector then you will realize that a very large percentage of commercial farmers are still those from the previously advantaged group[] . . . . For the few [previously disadvantaged] that have received land through the government's redistribution system, it does not look like enough was done to empower them to be able to use the land productively. So, I think a lot needs to be done in the area of land redistribution but this must occur in a very, very slow and careful process.

The Constitutionality of Anti-LGBT Discrimination Laws: US and UK Comparisons Continued
Recall that in November 2013 we posted "UK Supreme Court Confronts Clash Between Freedom of Religion and Gay Equality: Is the Issue Coming to The US Supreme Court Soon?"
The answer is "no," at least if "soon" means the case discussed in that post, Elane Photography v. Willock, a decision from the New Mexico Supreme Court in favor of a same-sex couple against a wedding photographer. The petition concentrated on the First Amendment speech rights of the photographer rather than religious rights; the Court denied certiorari today.
Meanwhile, Lady Brenda Hale, a Justice on the UK Supreme Court, appeared at a Comparative and Administrative Law Conference last month at Yale and spoke on the topic of "Religion and Sexual Orientation: The clash of equality rights," posting her written remarks on the UK Supreme Court site. Justice Hall considered the Bull case which we discussed as well as cases from Canada and the EU, all presenting the same basic issue: should religious persons be exempt from anti-discrimination laws? Justice Lady Hale offers some interesting observations: "it is fascinating that a country with an established church can be less respectful of religious feelings than one without." She also discusses direct and indirect discrimination and reiterates a point she made in the Bull case itself:
Both homosexuals and Christians were subject to the same laws requiring them not to discriminate in the running of their businesses. So if homosexual hotel keepers had refused a room to an opposite sex or Christian couple, they too would have been acting unlawfully.
This leads her to proclaim:
If you go into the market place you cannot pick and choose which laws you will obey and which you will not.
This may be an indication of how Lady Brenda Hale would rule in Hobby Lobby so recently argued before the United States Supreme Court, assuming the English Parliament would enact a statute similar to the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
Another difference: The arguments before the UK Supreme Court are televised live.

Daily Read: Capital in the 21st Century
In a review in this week's New Yorker, John Cassidy makes the case that the new book by Thomas Piketty, Capital in the Twenty-First Century, is one that "nobody interested in a defining issue of our era can afford to ignore."
This defining issue is economic inequality. Piketty's book, translated from the French and published by Harvard University Press, is an examination of the phenomenon as well as a proposal for remediation.
The proposal is a "wealth tax." Perhaps that's a "political nonstarter" as Cassidy suggests and as Piketty seemingly acknowledges. But perhaps it's not.

Constitutional Challenge to Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Law
Uganda's controversial law, The Anti-Homosexuality Act, 2014, long-linked to United States Evangelicals, has been challenged as unconstitutional by a petition filed in the Constitutional Court of Uganda.
The vast majority of the claims of unconstitutionality focus on the rights provisions in the Uganda Constitution, including explicit rights of equality, privacy, dignity, civic participation, freedom from cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment, expression, for persons with disabilities, and fair hearing. The claims also rely on the principles in the "National Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy" which are part of the Constitution.
Here are a few examples of the ultimate legal arguments in the petition:
THAT sections 1, 2 and 4 of the Anti-Homosexuality Act 2014, in defining and criminalising consensual same sex/gender sexual activity among adults in private, are in contravention of the right to equality before the law without any discrimination and the right to privacy guaranteed under Articles 2(1) & (2), 21(1), (2) & (4) and 27 of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda respectively;
THAT section 2(1)(c) of the Anti-Homosexuality Act 2014, in criminalising touching by persons of the same sex, creates an offence that is overly broad and is in contravention of the principle of legality under article Articles 2(1) & (2), 28(1), (3b), (12), 42 and 44(c) of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda;
THAT Sections 7 and 13(1) & (2) of Anti-Homosexuality Act 2014, in criminalising aiding, abetting, counselling, procuring and promotion of homosexuality, create offences that are overly broad, penalise legitimate debate, professional counsel, HIV related service provision and access to health services, in contravention of the principle of legality, the freedoms of expression, thought, assembly and association, and the right to civic participation guaranteed under principle XIV of the National Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy, Articles 2(1) & (2), 8A, 28(1), (3b), & (12), 29(1), 36, 38(2), 42 and 44(c) of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda 1995.
There are certainly many who hope the Uganda Constitutional Court will look to the prestigious Constitutional Court of South Africa for guidance in deciding these issues, although unlike the South African Constitution, the Uganda Constitution does not have an explicit provision protection sexual orientation.

World Justice Project's Rule of Law Index 2014
The World Justice Project released its Rule of Law Index 2014, a report that "measures how the rule of law is experienced in everyday life in 99 countries around the globe, based on over 100,000 household and 2,400 expert surveys worldwide."
Adherence to the rule of law is assessed using 47 indicators organized around eight themes: constraints on government powers, absence of corruption, open government, fundamental rights, order and security, regulatory enforcement, civil justice, and criminal justice.
The report ranks the U.S. 19th out of 99 countries worldwide, and 13th out of 24 in the Americas. We got our worst scores for "accessibility and affordability" in the civil justice system, and "no discrimination" in the criminal justice system. High points included absence of corruption (across the board, except that "no corruption in the legislature" got a relatively low score), absence of civil conflict, and absence of crime.

Tunisia Adopts New Constitution
Tunisia's National Constituent Assembly yesterday approved a new constitution, one of the most progressive in the region, three years after the overthrow of the long-time ruler Zine el-Abidne Ben Ali. Al Jazeera reports here; BBC here; the Guardian here; Reuters here.
According to reports, the new document says that Islam is the nation's religion (and forbids "attacks on the sacred"), but it does not require religious law, and it guarantees freedom of religion. Moreover, it guarantees equality between men and women and protects women's rights.
The new constitution divides executive authority between a prime minister and president. Prime Minister Mehdi Jomaa announced earlier that a caretaker cabinet would govern until the country holds elections.

Obama's Speech and Directive on NSA Surveillance
In a highly anticipated event today, President Obama delivered his remarks accompanied by a directive, Presidential Policy Directive/PPD-28, on "Signals Intelligence Activities," regarding NSA Surveillance. Recall that late last year a presidential advisory committee issued a report with specific recommendations, that one program has been subject to differing judicial interepretations - - - in Klayman v. Obama, Judge Richard Leon granted a preliminary injunction against NSA surveillance of telephone metadata, while in American Civil Liberties Union v. Clapper, Judge William J. Pauley granted a motion to dismiss in favor of the government, finding the same program constitutional - - - and that the national discussion on this issue is largely attributable to Edward Snowden.
While the judicial opinions did not specifically feature in Obama's remarks, Snowden did:
Given the fact of an open investigation, I'm not going to dwell on Mr. Snowden's actions or motivations. I will say that our nation's defense depends in part on the fidelity of those entrusted with our nation's secrets. If any individual who objects to government policy can take it in their own hands to publicly disclose classified information, then we will never be able to keep our people safe, or conduct foreign policy. Moreover, the sensational way in which these disclosures have come out has often shed more heat than light, while revealing methods to our adversaries that could impact our operations in ways that we may not fully understand for years to come.
But the details, as usual, can be a bit more perplexing. For example, consider this qualification to "competitive advantage" :
Certain economic purposes, such as identifying trade or sanctions violations or government influence or direction, shall not constitute competitive advantage.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation released a "scorecard" before Obama's remarks and directive. Afterwards, it tweeted the results of its assessment of Obama's performance:

Supreme Court Refuses to Grant Extraordinary Writ to Review FISA's Verizon Surveillance Order
In its routine order list today, the Court's list of "MANDAMUS DENIED" included "13-58 - IN RE ELECTRONIC PRIVACY INFORMATION CENTER."
The petition for writ of mandamus and prohibition or writ of certiorari was filed by the Electronic Privacy Information Center and essentially sought review of an Order from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. The order redacts the names of the parties from whom the "tangible things" are sought, but the petition describes the order as compelling "Verizon Business Network Services to produce to the National Security Agency, on an ongoing basis, all of the call detail records of Verizon customers."
As one of its Questions Presented, the petition stated:
Whether the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court exceeded its narrow statutory authority to authorize foreign intelligence surveillance, under 50 U.S.C. § 1861, when it ordered Verizon to disclose records to the National Security Agency for all telephone communications "wholly within the United States, including local telephone calls."
The import of the Supreme Court's denial is both trivial and momentous. On the one hand, there is little if anything to be read into the Court's refusal to exercise its highly discretionary power to grant a petition for a writ as it does in 1% of cases. On the other hand, there is something to be inferred about the Court's interest in and willingness to supervise the unusual FISA given constitutional rights.
But the Court's failure to accept the case certainly does not mean the underlying issues will be so easily dispatched.

Daily Read: That Shutdown? It's the Constitution's Fault
Who to blame for the lapse of appropriations, also known as the government "shutdown"?
Over at Washington Post, Dylan Matthews argues
it's James Madison's fault. This week's shutdown is only the latest symptom of an underlying disease in our democracy whose origins lie in the Constitution and some supremely misguided ideas that made their way into it in 1787, and found their fullest exposition in Madison's Federalist no. 51. And that disease is rapidly getting worse.
Matthews contrasts the situation with Great Britain:
while it is clear in the U.K. who is to blame for poor economic performance, it's far more difficult for American voters to sort out who's responsible. So they just hold to account whoever they get to vote on first. That leads to more or less random shifts in sentiment, with divided government and ensuing deadlock and crises, which makes assigning blame and holding members to account even more difficult.
Matthews isn't the only one over at WAPo holding up the UK as exemplar. Max Fisher explains that "Australia had a government shutdown once. In the end, the queen fired everyone in Parliament." He ends with this arch interrogatory: "Maybe, if we ask nicely, Britain will take us back?"

2008 Dodge Charger • 6 cylinder 2WD Automatic • 81,000 miles
Heater does not blow hot air. Full of coolant, blend door appears to be working on outside anyway. T-stat working, heater core temp on inlet 178 degrees, outlet 108, ck'd heater core with water hose and it was flowing, but did notice no coolant coming out of inlet heater hose when disconnected and engine running. Any ideas?

You said inlet and outlet temps from heater core. Also, you said there is no coolant coming from the inlet hose. How did you get a 178 degree reading in and 108 out? If there is nothing coming from the inlet, have you checked the hose for a blockage? Also, the blend air door is what determines if you get AC or heat. It is located next to the heater core. I don't think you can see if from the outside. If the heater core is hot and the blend door is working properly, you should be getting heat.

Best Baby Scale Reviews
Baby Scales From Health O Meter, Salter, Tanita And More
When you bring your infant home from the hospital, or perhaps a little later, you start to look for the best baby scale or perhaps you call it an infant scale, or digital baby scale, as it will be just the thing you need.
Especially if you have a preemie baby, low birth weight or one that has a failure to thrive.
Baby Scale – Use It To
- establish birth weight
- check weight gain during the growth process
- make sure your baby is ingesting enough milk
Read through the reviews on the site for more info. You will want to keep track and chart the progress of your little one for it's first few months and really, on into the toddler months, especially if the little one is underweight.
It Saves Money
A Doctors visit to weigh your little one can cost between $35 and $80, according to some feedback, so buying one of these is a good investment. If you pay for visits, or have a copay, you can save quite a bit of money with one of these machines.
Best Baby Scale
The best selling baby scale at a moderate price is the Health o Meter HDC100KD-01 and is rated at 4.6 out of 5.
The next best seller at a little higher price is the The Ultrababy Scale from My Weigh and is rated at 4 out of 5 possible.
And at the higher priced, but higher quality level, the best infant scale sold is the Tanita BD-585 (BD585) Digital Pediatric Scale and is rated at 4.8 stars out of 5.
Measure Fluid Intake
As mentioned above, when checking that your little one is ingesting enough milk, ask your doctor or nurse how much fluid would be appropriate.
This would be for nursing, whether breastfeeding or bottle feeding. You would then weigh him/her before feeding and then again after feeding. You can then be sure of an adequate intake of fluids for proper growth.
Infant Scale – Use As Your Little One Grows
When you look at the digital baby scales, you will see that some convert to being used by a toddler, as the child is able to stand. Your child will be proud of his/her weight gains, and you can rest at ease about your toddler being within an acceptable weight range for his/her height.
Check Them Out
You will find a nice selection of infant scales here, on sale – see the Best Baby Scales reviews.
