There's nothing like spending the holiday season in Hawaii. The streets are filled with lights, wreaths, and lots of palm trees. It's sunny with not a cloud in the sky and if you're lucky you'll run into the Hawaiian Santa Claus walking around in flip flops and a Hawaiian print Santa suit. While doing a little Christmas shopping in town I wore this beautiful Billabong set. The red colors reminded me of Christmas and made me wanna do a little Christmas dance. (more…)

Achieve "the Good Life" ─ as you envision it ─ through critical thinking!
This mind-expanding, graduate-degree program is for college graduates of any age, area of expertise, or stage in their careers who want to become more innovative as problem-solvers and leaders in their communities and workplaces.
Designed especially for those with wide-ranging interests (e.g., business, education, art and lifelong learning), CSUN's online Humanities program is an excellent choice for those who want to make their lives as meaningful as possible while keeping their options for further exploration and professional development open.
This 20-month, fully online program offers a course of study that emphasizes critical thinking, discussion and reflection. Through these processes, participants discover how to achieve more holistic, effective and fulfilling lives in any profession or area of interest.
The program achieves this outcome with a stimulating curriculum that focuses on humankind's most important questions, such as:
In today's constantly evolving work environments, employers are increasingly seeking employees who are flexible enough to apply a broad set of conceptual skills in ways that can meet the unique ─ and ever-changing ─ needs of their organizations.
Moreover, because most of today's working adults will switch careers during their lives, CSUN's online Master of Arts in Humanities program is crafted to enable students to develop habits of mind that will facilitate lifelong intellectual exploration, agility and adaptability.
In this program, participants interact online while learning to:
The program's academic content synthesizes the best of humanity's collective wisdom from a wide range of fields, including history, philosophy, ethics, law and religion.
Its online format supports an unusually high level of shared honesty, which results in stimulating discussions of assigned topics. This format also gives students time to reflect on course content and shape their insights before sharing them with fellow learners for feedback and further inspiration.
Students not only share these interests through regular assignments and discussions but also incorporate and expand upon them in their individual "comprehensive experiences." These culminating projects can take virtually any form that can be shared (e.g., videos, group presentations, portfolios, short films, etc.).
Although this program is 100% online, students are strongly encouraged to come to the CSUN campus twice during the program to attend "Weekend Intensives" during which students conceptualize, create and finalize their comprehensive experiences. These meetings further enable students to share their ideas and strengthen relationships within their cohort.
The first of these on-campus gatherings typically occurs in the second semester of the program and enables students to meet their classmates and faculty face to face. A second gathering is planned for the last meeting of HUMA 697 course, during which students share their culminating projects. For eligible students, a portion of the cost of these "Weekend Intensives" may be covered by Financial Aid. Alternative accommodations can be made for students unable to attend on-campus meetings.
This accelerated 20-month program will be fully online, providing midcareer adults with significant flexibility for completing coursework at times and in places that fit their own weekly schedules. All CSUN online programs are crafted by the same distinguished faculty and leading practitioners as CSUN's on-campus programs. CSUN's online programs are held to the same high standards of academic excellence and student achievement. Every online program is taught by CSUN full- and part-time faculty, whose digital engagement with online students is qualitatively equivalent to their engagement with students on campus.
While students complete assignments on their own time within a structured schedule, they proceed through this program as a cohort with a limited number of participants, thereby developing a supportive network of fellow learners. The cohort design guarantees registration in all required courses and also typically results in on-time program completion rates of 90 percent or higher.
From application to graduation, students enjoy the one-on-one support of a designated program coordinator and a CSUN faculty member assigned to coordinate the efforts of all teaching in the program. This support frees busy professionals from navigating the University's administrative systems to focus on their studies.

Best Pub Fare (2001)
John Bull English Pub
When you say that this place is a trendy, traditional British pub, that's no bull -- and it's no oxymoron either. On the trendy side are salads -- such as the Tuscan garden with smoked turkey, comprising artichokes, roasted peppers, button mushrooms, and bacon-mustard dressing -- and main courses including fresh fish of the day with Creole rémoulade and toasted orzo pilaf. On the traditional side are appetizers -- cheese boards for two with aged cheddar and country bread -- and one-dish meals such as shepherd's pie or Saturday roasts with Yorkshire pudding. Trendy? An Undurraga Chilean merlot is the house red. Traditional? Bass, Newcastle, and Harp ales are all on tap. Trendy? The live jazz and rhythm-and-blues music. Traditional? The fireplaces (yes, in South Florida). This may not be your father's or grandfather's pub, but it will certainly be yours.

We promised we would be doing game jams in Europe and I'm happy to announce the first one. It will take place at the Adobe office in Hamburg, Germany on February 15th and 16th. I can't say enough good things about these game jams. They are a great way to learn a ton of stuff and also to network with other developers. Like I have said before, you do not need prior gaming experience to attend these. Register below.

Alienation on the Red Planet with the 'John Carter' Trailer

Disney's latest would-be-blockbuster, John Carter, has had a hell of a time making it to the screen – with live-action feature film development interest first kicking off back in the 1950s (from Ray Harryhausen, no less), though the rights to Edgar Rice Burroughs' novels weren't bought until the 1980s, when...

'John Carter' of Mars Trailer Lacks One Thing: Mars

- July 14, 2011
The first teaser for John Carter isn't the astonishing first peek it should be. Instead, it's oddly underwhelming. Where's the sense of a grand-scale adventure film? First of all, John Carter seems to be hanging out in any Earth bound desert, not Mars. There's nothing in this trailer that'll tell...

January 23, 2013 The threat follows the U.N. Security Council's condemnation Tuesday of North Korea's rocket launch in December. A U.S. official in Seoul said any such step by Pyongyang would be a "mistake."
Google's Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt (left) arrives at Pyongyang International Airport on Monday. There is speculation that Schmidt's presence in North Korea could have an upside for Google by positioning Schmidt as the company's global ambassador.

January 7, 2013 Eric Schmidt, Google's executive chairman, has landed in North Korea. His trip there is a bit of a mystery. North Korea's young leader, Kim Jong Un, recently set out a series of policy goals that included expanding science and technology as a way to improve the North Korean economy in 2013.
January 3, 2013 Kim Jong-un's wife, Ri Sol-ju, has been shown in new images looking much slimmer than she was just a few weeks ago.
An image, from North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), of what's said to be the launch on Wednesday.

December 13, 2012 NBC News reports that U.S. officials tracking the object warn it isn't orbiting normally. South Korea's defense ministry says it may be a couple more weeks before it's known for sure if the satellite is circling the planet safely.
This image from North Korea's official Korean Central News Agency shows the long-range rocket Unha-3 as seen at a satellite control center prior to Wednesday's successful launch.

December 12, 2012 Although North Korea claims the launch was a scientific endeavor to put a satellite in orbit, the U.S. and its allies were quick to call it a long-range missile test. That may conjure up visions of nuclear missiles, but strategy experts say such technology is still out of reach for Pyongyang.

December 12, 2012 Japan says North Korea's action was intolerable. The White House calls it a "highly provocative act." The U.N. Security Council is expected to meet later today. North Korea, though, insists this was a peaceful mission to put a satellite in orbit. It celebrated its accomplishment.
December 11, 2012 The launch, which defies warnings from both the U.N. and the U.S., comes just days before the presidential election in South Korea. There was no immediate word if Wednesday's launch was successful. A previous attempt in April failed.

September 27, 2012 The 105-story skyscraper has been under construction for 25 years. A tour company has released photos showing where things stand and says the hotel may finally be finished in two or three years.
In this photo released by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) and distributed in Tokyo by the Korea News Service on Monday, July 9, 2012, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, right, and a woman clap with others on Friday as they watch a performance by North Korea's new Moranbong band in Pyongyang. Now it appears they have gotten married.

July 25, 2012 Figuring out who the woman is who's been seen with North Korea's leader has been difficult. But is it North Korean pop star Hyon Song-wol? And did they rekindled an old romance?
You might want to watch what you say. A screen grab from one of many videos taken by diners at a North Korean restaurant. This one is in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

July 24, 2012 The government of North Korea has been pushing to open restaurants in cities around the world. Now there's word that the waitresses may also be spying on the customers, especially if the patrons are from South Korea.

July 16, 2012 Kim Jong Un may have a love in his life. Now he appears to have pushed out one of North Korea's top generals and seems to be loosening up restrictions on "Western" wear and culture.

Observers think she is Hyon Song-wol.

July 10, 2012 It seems that North Korea's young leader may have reconnected with an old love. Observers think she's a singer who had some big hits in their famously secluded country.

April 13, 2012 The disintegration of North Korea's latest long-range missile shortly after liftoff today increases the likelihood that the communist nation will resume testing nuclear weapons or take other provocative steps to show its strength, analysts say.

We're at almost 200% funding. It's been less than 4 days. Of 30. We've blown through three stretch goals that brought on another animator, enabled us to expand parts of the game, and create another game within the game. The normal laws of the universe have ceased functioning. That's the only possible explanation. Or we've just fallen into a really supportive and generous bunch of people. Could be that, but you know… the universe HAS been feeling a bit off lately.
Our brains are really great at adapting. If you had told me last week that we'd achieve 200% funding on this, I'd have been overjoyed. And if we'd have been at this point on our 30th day, I'd be overjoyed. We're overjoyed even now! But getting that in the first half week... well, suddenly 200% seems like the baseline and you should really be going for 400%, and then if that happens you'll feel like you need 600%. And you start to make stupid decisions. You've seen it before, a KS gets an amazing response and the creators start expanding the scope here, offering something new over here, doing some new crazy rewards here, all in the name of more stretch goals. And before you know it they're overbudget and the game is a year behind because the project they went into KS with was far more feasible than what they came out with. It's so easy to let Kickstarter change the game it was supposed to fund. That can be great- in particular having Adam design a totally separate game-within-game is something we are really excited about. But if you aren't careful…
So here's what's happening: We're not doing any more stretch goals, at least not for the time being. From here on out, funds will go to making the development more stable and secure financially, and enabling us to do cool things for you guys as they come up. It'll go to making sure Scott doesn't have to go part-time on development for a few weeks while he does some contract work to make ends meet during the next year and a half. It'll go to enabling us to bring in super great artists to help do some rad guest NITW comics and animated shorts we'll release throughout development. It'll go to interesting things we want to do with the in-game music, or voices, or other things that we'd like to try. It'll enable us to bring in some help if we need it. It'll go to an emergency fund in case our computers explode because they're too full of GAME. It'll go to helping us maybe go to a con or two next year to meet some of you. It'll buy Alec at least one pizza he doesn't have to share with the 37 people he lives with. A pizza all his own.
So that's our cards on the table- we have the game and the story we want to make, and we'll be making that. All future funds will go to helping us do that better, with more security and increased flexibility. If that sounds good to you, we are incredibly thankful for your helping us make this all happen. It's pretty much all because of you guys that Night In The Woods will be what it will be.
Thank you.
- Scott and Alec

Creator fluffy on November 19, 2013
This post was a big part of why I ended up backing in the first place - I saw that you'd blown through your funding goals right away and I was worried about you succumbing to stretch-goal-itis like so many of the other games projects I've backed, and then I saw this update and I was all "YES SOMEBODY FINALLY GETS IT." I mean, what's wrong with making an earlier-than-expected profit on something?
Creator Richard Manders on November 11, 2013
A documentary of the process would be great!
Creator Marcus Wallinder on November 6, 2013
Would love to see a PS4 strech goal!
Creator Blake on November 1, 2013
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! :P I'm excited for all of the stretch goals.
Creator Ben Voynick on October 31, 2013
Excellent, I'm also glad to hear you won't be going overboard.
P.S. Don't forget to look in to a GOG.com release! Pretty please. :)
Creator Tom Smith on October 30, 2013
Good luck guys, I'm sure the game will be amazing!
And just in case you're wondering, Wii U is my console of choice. I heard Nintendo is extra friendly towards indies. ;)
Creator Kelly on October 30, 2013
This is a great decision -- so many creators let themselves be bogged down trying to keep up with a large KS response, and let the focus on the game itself slip away. Mad respect for walking the path of reason, and keeping an eye on the ultimate goal (the reason we're all so excited in the first place)!
Creator JabberJaw on October 29, 2013
I think it's a great idea, honestly I'd much rather be able to play the game without much worry than I do about new levels or items.
Creator Stephen Harrison on October 28, 2013
Great reasoning, love the decision, can't wait to play it. Keep up the awesome!
Creator Renaud Bédard on October 28, 2013
One stretch goal idea that's relatively low-strain on development and that could make a big difference for many backers : hire a professional localization team and translate the game in a bunch of languages!
Creator CaptainSidekick on October 28, 2013
I'm glad to see that y'all are keeping your goals and scope manageable. It makes me all the more pleased to have backed you.
Creator Justin on October 28, 2013
How about fun stretch goals, like "300k, we play with kittens and put it on YouTube."
Creator William on October 28, 2013
NITW Kickstarter: A pizza all his own.
Creator Ja Powers on October 28, 2013
Fine by me. Hey, the stretch goal was "100k+" for ports, so, I always figured it was a range based on what you could do for however much came in, so all this update makes perfect sense to me. and its good you are looking now - I've seen some nightmares where port X was promised, but turned out to be much more difficult to deliver on than expected.
Creator Matthew Netzley on October 28, 2013
This is absolutely perfect. I wish more KS projects would have this attitude toward stretch goals and additional funding. I
You've got me really jazzed about this game!!
Creator Alexa Reardon on October 28, 2013
"A pizza all his own." I've taken my solo pizza consumption for granted. I'm so sorry.
I'm very glad to hear that you guys are level-headed and not letting this amazing success expand the game beyond it's true form.
I'm so very excited and even considering stretching my own budget to get that glow in the dark poster because why'd you make it sound so good?
Creator Chris Costello on October 28, 2013
Is it at all possible that we could get that list of species mentioned in the $500 pledge reward?
Creator Hunty on October 28, 2013
How refreshing! Hooray!
Creator Daniel Neves on October 27, 2013
I love the idea of not having stretch goals for the moment, that's great because we have sure we'll get the best game. And if the project permit with its develoment new features will be added not as an extra but as part of the game.
I ask, please, port the game to Wii U eShop.
Creator David Krone on October 27, 2013
That sounds like a great plan.
Creator Anonymous on October 27, 2013
I totally understand and agree with the devs decision here but I also find it highly amusing that people have become so cynical with KS release dates that they are cheering the lack of "extra stuff" myself included.
Creator Sam Bobroff on October 27, 2013
I think that sticking to your plan and not getting distracted by stretch goals and huge piles of money is a very smart move. I loved the initial idea, that's what I backed. If it's popularity means you can afford to eat more than two minute noodles then SO BE IT. :-)
Creator ☜☆RSF☆☞ on October 27, 2013
Sounds like an excellent choice.
Creator Elizabeth on October 27, 2013
I really appreciate the commitment you guys have to your original vision, and I think this is a great course of action for your particular project. I have full faith that this game will turn out rockin'! I hope y'all have a good time.
Creator Eric Hendrix on October 27, 2013
Thank you so much, your project looks amazing and I can't wait to get my hands on it!
Creator H. Takeshi on October 27, 2013
As I told earlier that I also agree with this decision but I don't agree with anyone told the stretch goal is bad. I think it's very interesting system and it is appropriate for some (not all) projects.
Creator Egypt Urnash on October 27, 2013
I just finished running a Kickstarter. I had one real "make the thing better" stretch goal, which I achieved. My next stretch goal (which I didn't achieve) was "print the thing cheaper". That's it. I wasn't going to create side stories or anything to pursue more money, I just wanted to print my graphic novel and get on with the business of making the last third of the story.
I mean, sure, if your initial goal is an MVP of the game, moving a few more things from the "it would be cool if" bin to "let's actually implement this" bin is fine. But if your concept fits inside the initial goal and doesn't have much to add, don't take what could be a perfectly-sized thing and bloat it because you got a lot of money; take the extra money and make life a little easier during development of this game and the next one.
Creator Samantha Sandee on October 27, 2013
I'm glad you guys are keeping to the original scope, and are using the funds to focus on the game development. It's definitely the way to go! I'm so excited for the final product to be complete. I think you guys are going to make something amazing.
Creator Ian on October 27, 2013
@Travis: Update #2 says "$100,000 - ???????"
Creator Randy Laue on October 27, 2013
Holy shit! Project creators with some common sense. Excellent decision!
Creator Trevor Sacks on October 27, 2013
In the trailer, you've managed to capture this perfect feeling of fall, a feeling I've been nostalgic for for years now. I have to say, I'm impressed.
I am so happy that you guys have managed to not only meet your funding goals, but exceed them. I'm glad to hear that you're keeping the project scope originally intended. Just use the funds to do what you need to do, to make sure that you guys do the best work you can. That's what we're doing as backers: to give you as good a chance of making this happen as possible. No need for anything fancy. Just take your time, and use this gift to make your dreams real.
Creator Alex Ting on October 27, 2013
This is totally the way to go!
Creator horizonfactory on October 27, 2013
Excellent choice. Even 90,000+ seems like a tight budget (although I'm sure you talented blokes can do it!). Use any extra cash to make sure it gets done and on our screens and is just as perfect as the video and images look.
I love this game. And you guys.
Creator Rachel Yonda on October 27, 2013
Just wanted to echo the sentiments of most- right on! Eyes on the prize dudes. Your decision to approach things this way will ensure your success. As a backer all I want is the thing I originally backed and nothing more- stretch goals can be cool/fun but you sure don't owe it to anybody to suddenly make a whole new game.
Creator Maraike Heraklit on October 27, 2013
Perfect choice! :)
Creator Nick Hahneman on October 27, 2013
I'm very happy you're not blowing this things scope out. We like the project as you've shown it, don't need it to become something else through stretch goals. Good luck with the rest of the campaign!
Creator Zach Gage on October 27, 2013
good :)
Creator Chad Sell on October 27, 2013
Good choice, guys! I'm glad you're not going to get carried away with a lot of lofty goals that weigh down your original vision for the project.
Creator Tyler Evans on October 27, 2013
I agree with barret
Creator Barret Jachin Vasilchik on October 27, 2013
I'm actually totally cool with this decision because I've definitely seen some of the kickstarter projects get out of hand. Some people are saying to hire more people on the project but I think when you get too many people the original vision of the project gets diluted and not to mention getting everyone's work properly integrated. The only thing I could possibly imagine would be a cool documentary developer journals that followed the games production. This would be cool so that the backers could see how a game is made, all the hurdles and the obstacles as well as the breakthroughs. I know it would be something I would personally enjoy but that would be when you get to a very high funding amount.
Creator Christina on October 27, 2013
I'd like to see you hire more staff to get the game finished sooner - because that's really what most people pledged for in the first place. when a project gets too big I actually become concerned with their ability to logistically manage it. good for you to keep focused and not relent to the cry for more stretch goals. the goal should be delivering a top notch product - and hopefully the sooner the better. ;)
Creator Nathan Sampey on October 27, 2013
Excellent decision. There's no need to "reward" us backers any further. I'm sure the vast majority of us just love the idea of the game you're making and want to help you make it happen. And having a cash cushion of $50,000-$100,000 ($200,000?!) will definitely help that happen, no matter what life throws your way. Great work so far!
Creator Travis Espinoza on October 27, 2013
@Ian, I thought the $100,000 stretch goal was for the linux & console ports?
Creator Michael Hughes on October 27, 2013
Like other backers I am *extremely* pleased with your cautious approach to this Kickstarter. As someone who's been burned by feature creep I'm looking forward to actually playing NITW.
Creator Ian on October 27, 2013
My only objection is that you already promised a $100,000 stretch goal.
Creator Jonathan Morris on October 27, 2013
I am just liking you two more and more.
Creator Sanya V. Litvyak on October 27, 2013
Really appreciate this approach, seeing how many games have fallen short due to overdone stretch goals (and sometimes normal goals as well)
Creator Richard Davey on October 27, 2013
A great decision by a great team. I wish more Kickstarters took this approach.
Creator Klarden on October 27, 2013
Great idea. It would be risky to start promising a bunch of stuff, that might later make it harder to complete tha game itself.
Althought, I'd see some crossover with Treasure Adventure World as a stretch goal:D. I don't know why I even associated games like this, probably because TAW creator supported NITW.
Creator colorrr on October 27, 2013
Great approach, stay focused !

What is the official name of the ATP2A2 gene?
The official name of this gene is "ATPase, Ca++ transporting, cardiac muscle, slow twitch 2."
ATP2A2 is the gene's official symbol. The ATP2A2 gene is also known by other names, listed below.
Read more about gene names and symbols on the About page.
What is the normal function of the ATP2A2 gene?
The ATP2A2 gene provides instructions for making an enzyme called sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum calcium-ATPase 2 (SERCA2). This enzyme belongs to a family of ATPase enzymes that helps control the level of positively charged calcium atoms (calcium ions) inside cells. Within the cell, SERCA2 is found in the endoplasmic reticulum and a related structure in muscle cells called the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The endoplasmic reticulum is a structure inside the cell that is involved in protein processing and transport. The sarcoplasmic reticulum assists with muscle contraction and relaxation by releasing and storing calcium ions. Calcium ions act as signals for a large number of activities that are important for the normal development and function of cells. SERCA2 allows calcium ions to pass into and out of the cell in response to cell signals.
Does the ATP2A2 gene share characteristics with other genes?
The ATP2A2 gene belongs to a family of genes called ATP (ATPases).
A gene family is a group of genes that share important characteristics. Classifying individual genes into families helps researchers describe how genes are related to each other. For more information, see What are gene families? in the Handbook.
How are changes in the ATP2A2 gene related to health conditions?
Where is the ATP2A2 gene located?
Cytogenetic Location: 12q24.11
Molecular Location on chromosome 12: base pairs 110,281,227 to 110,351,093
(Homo sapiens Annotation Release 107, GRCh38.p2) (
The ATP2A2 gene is located on the long (q) arm of chromosome 12 at position 24.11.
More precisely, the ATP2A2 gene is located from base pair 110,281,227 to base pair 110,351,093 on chromosome 12.

5 Hold-Rated Dividend Stocks: RSO, VLY, CMO, UAN, GSJK
Valley National BancorpDividend Yield: 7.10% Valley National Bancorp (NYSE: VLY) shares currently have a dividend yield of 7.10%. Valley National Bancorp operates as the bank holding company for the Valley National Bank that provides commercial, retail, and wealth management financial services. The company has a P/E ratio of 12.92. The average volume for Valley National Bancorp has been 1,090,400 shares per day over the past 30 days. Valley National Bancorp has a market cap of $1.8 billion and is part of the banking industry. Shares are down 1.1% year to date as of the close of trading on Thursday. TheStreet Ratings rates Valley National Bancorp as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its expanding profit margins, notable return on equity and reasonable valuation levels. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself, feeble growth in the company's earnings per share and unimpressive growth in net income. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The gross profit margin for VALLEY NATIONAL BANCORP is currently very high, coming in at 75.70%. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Regardless of the strong results of the gross profit margin, the net profit margin of 16.98% trails the industry average.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. Compared to other companies in the Commercial Banks industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, VALLEY NATIONAL BANCORP has outperformed in comparison with the industry average, but has underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500.
- VALLEY NATIONAL BANCORP's earnings per share declined by 11.6% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. Earnings per share have declined over the last year. We anticipate that this should continue in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, VALLEY NATIONAL BANCORP reported lower earnings of $0.74 versus $0.76 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 17.7% in earnings ($0.61 versus $0.74).
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and greatly underperformed compared to the Commercial Banks industry average. The net income has decreased by 9.3% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, dropping from $34.53 million to $31.31 million.

I was surprised when my dog or cat had nothing to do with this toy. It just sat there on the floor. I don't think my dog liked the texture and it didn't feel comfortable in his mouth.
Pros: durable
Cons: dog didn't like it

The Michigan Wolverines had a shot to clinch a share of the Big Ten regular-season title and possibly reenter the conversation for an NCAA Tournament No. 1 seed on Sunday. Instead, a heartbreaking loss to the Indiana Hoosiers dropped Michigan to fifth in the Big Ten. That outcome did not, however, strike too much of a blow against the Wolverines' March Madness standing, based on some of the latest Bracketology projections. Here's a look at where the Wolverines and Michigan State Spartans stand as the Big Ten Tournament approaches: • Patrick Stevens, USA Today: (3) Michigan vs. (14) BIG SKY/Montana; (2) Michigan State vs. (15) IVY/Harvard Both the Wolverines and Spartans remain slated for Auburn Hills here, as they do just about everywhere else. Michigan State is in better shape from a seeding perspective, though the Spartans' bracket would force them to run through either North Carolina or Notre Dame in Round 3, then potentially through Florida and Louisville to get to the Final Four. The Wolverines, meanwhile, would open with Montana and then have to deal with either VCU or the Kentucky/Villanova play-in winner in Round 3. New Mexico is the No. 2 seed here, with Duke the No. 1. • Jerry Palm, CBSSports.com: (3) Michigan vs. (15) Vermont; (2) Michigan State vs. (15) Florida International Befitting Monday's theme, in which Michigan held at No. 8 in the Coaches' Poll and moved up to No. 6 in the AP Poll, Palm kept the Wolverines planted on the 2-line in his latest bracket. The 7-10 matchup there is Notre Dame-Temple, with No. 3 Arizona and No. 1 Gonzaga also in Michigan's region. Michigan State is ahead of the Wolverines in Palm's overall seeding — Michigan is in the West, with a potential regional semifinal/final in Los Angeles; Michigan State in the East, with a trip to Washington D.C. prior to the Final Four. After Florida International, the Spartans would face either San Diego State or Cal. Florida stands as the 3-seed in Palm's East region, with Duke at No. 1. • Joe Lunardi, ESPN.com: (3) Michigan vs. (14) Montana; (3) Michigan State vs. (14) Harvard The news is slightly more disappointing for the in-state crowd here, as Lunardi slots both the Wolverines and Spartans in as 3-seeds right now. His "S-curve" has Michigan as the No. 11 overall team in the field, and Michigan State at No. 9 — so both have the opportunity to move up, and at least Michigan could still drop. The Wolverines are in Lunardi's West bracket, with Miami (Fla.) as the No. 2 and Gonzaga again the No. 1. Michigan would have to get through Montana and either VCU or Villanova to reach the tournament's second weekend. Michigan State is in the South in Lunardi's projection, alongside No. 2 Kansas and No. 1 Louisville. The Spartans' Round 3 opponent, should they get by Harvard, would be either UCLA or the winner of a Kentucky-La Salle play-in. • Andy Glockner, Sports Illustrated: (2) Michigan vs. (15) Vermont; (3) Michigan State vs. (14) Davidson Another bracket where Michigan held on the No. 2 line and Michigan State stayed at No. 3. Glockner's explanation for keeping Michigan up: New Mexico was his highest 3-seed and Michigan the lowest 2-seed, but by swapping those, New Mexico would be punished and have to join the East region. Instead, Michigan's in the East and New Mexico the West. That leaves the Wolverines in the two spot, with an opener against Vermont, then a matchup with the UNLV-Wichita State winner. Marquette is Glockner's 3-seed out East, with Duke again the 1. Michigan State is in the South here, with No. 6 Colorado State or No. 11 Iowa State up in the third round. No. 2 Georgetown and No. 1 Kansas also potentially block the Spartans' path to the Final Four.

Heeley Parfums – Agarwoud
James Heeley is an English born, self-taught perfumer whose interest in olfaction began in 1996. As a designer, Heeley was working on a project for a well-known Parisian florist when he had the opportunity to meet with legendary French perfumer Annick Goutal. This meeting inspired the designer to include perfume in his repertoire of creative endeavors. Years later, his eye for design is still a key part of the Heeley brand. James Heeley's design fingerprint is impressed on his range of perfumes, from the environmentally conscious packaging to the bottle and labeling design. If 'niche' perfumery is defined by limited accessibility, Heeley fragrances are about as niche as it gets. I have seen edits of the range in my travels through Europe and Asia but they are still an uncommon encounter, even in niche perfumeries. On a recent trip I was delighted to discover James Heeley's entire range at Peony Haute Perfumerie in Melbourne, Australia. Peony's offer included the even more exclusive Extrait de Parfum line, launched at last year's Pitti Immagine Fragranze fair in Florence, Italy. Annually, the Florentine fair attracts perfume specialists, buyers and media from around the world. Heeley's Extrait de Parfum range consists of three perfumes that work with the highest concentration of raw materials, many of which are exceptionally rare. One such ingredient is Oudh or agarwood, the rare and very costly resin produced by South East Asian Aquilaria and Gyrinops trees. Although Oudh is currently said to be more rare than Mysore sandalwood, many artisan perfumers have taken an interest in working with this exotic raw material. Wider market brands such as Tom Ford, Christian Dior and Yves Saint Laurent are now following the niche trend, although YSL, under Tom Ford should be credited as a trail blazer more than a follower, for their release of M7 in 2002; the first mass market men's fragrance to feature Oudh. With the recent interest in Oudh, YSL have launched a new flanker for M7, called Oud Absolu. The flanker doesn't stray far from the original and from a marketing perspective; putting Oud in the title is a smart move during this current trend in men's fragrance. With so many recent perfume releases that contain Oudh in either the fragrance title or composition, the question needs to be asked; does the world need another Oudh fragrance? That was my first reaction when I encountered James Heeley's Agarwoud. I have a small number of Oudh fragrances in my collection and I had no plans of adding another one. But on smelling the fragrance I was immediately seduced by Heeley's creative trademark, which is understated, clean and modern; three adjectives you would not commonly associate with this raw material. The packaging is also exceptional- a sophisticated black label with silver foiled text presented in a black drawer made from recycled materials. The jewel on this well designed crown has to be the bohemian glass cap in black, which is cut by hand for each bottle. Truly indulgent if you consider for their spray bottles, even Chanel have replaced all of their glass carbochon stoppers with plastic ones. This attention to detail and a fine perfume makes James Heeley's Agarwoud a worthwhile investment.
Olfactory impressions:
If I was looking for my first Oudh perfume, I would have overlooked James Heeley and gone for something more literal. My initial attraction to Agarwoud was the fact that it is so different from other Oudhs. Stripped of the material's cultural affiliations, Heeley's Agarwoud feels to me, to be more about the smell of Oudh rather than being about the story of Oudh. L'Artisan Parfumeur's Al Oudh, a fragrance that is part of the brand's travel series is an example of the later. It uses Oudh to invite its western wearer to travel to exotic locations. The precious resin is paired with other eastern references; leather and gourmand spices such as cumin and saffron. The perfume's bottle is also decorated with eastern motifs. Oudh has been used for centuries in the east and Middle Eastern perfume fans need no convincing of the oil's attractive power. Last year when I visited Harrods in London, one of Roja Dove's Haute Parfumerie assistants allowed me to sample pure Oudh oil. The assistant commented how many of their eastern clientele would use pure Oudh oil as an additive to their perfume purchases from the perfumerie. For affluent Eastern clientele, an Oudh perfume is desirable when it is complemented with other rare materials, high quality floral absolutes and refined woods and resins. I see this as a key difference in the way Oudh is used in modern perfumery. Western consumers want to imagine busy market streets and steamy souks, an exotic experience when you have been raised with supermarkets and computerized self-checkouts. In contrast, the Eastern consumer sees Oudh as a perfume symbol of social status and beauty. James Heeley describes Oudh as an acquired taste. Agarwoud utilizes oil from Laos and Vietnam, which is blended with rose, amber and incense. From the beginning wearers are entertained with a parade of fruity rose petals on a lush bed of musk. Transparent Oudh provides an expected complexity without the heaviness that is often seen in an Oudh composition. The result is a wonderfully complex, yet light and delicate scent that is sure to be a hit with both women and men.
Suggested wearing:
James Heeley created Agarwoud for both genders. On men, he describes it as 'Prince Siddhartha'. On woman, 'Once upon a time…' In the morning when I decide on which fragrance I will wear to work, I pack the bottle in my workbag incase I want to reapply more fragrance after lunch. Every time I have taken Agarwoud to work, the females in my office have commented on what I am wearing. When I show them the bottle they gasp and ask questions after sampling it. From this experience I have realized that women love this fragrance. Judging by the way they react I expect they do not attach a gender to the scent, they simply like to smell it, whether it is on other men or on themselves. With this in mind I recommend Agarwoud for men who are looking for a point of difference perfume. It has a feminine softness owing to the high percentage of quality rose oil contained in the formula. Agarwoud displays a nice balance between sensitivity and power, a balance that is desired by modern women in their modern man.

Finally got around to getting two samples of this. I think one is not enough to decide what one makes of this. Its subtle in an odd way I think. Its not really subtle, but the impression is one of subtlety. I get the musk quite clearly, but its that shimmering other stuff, and the oud. The opening is sort of momentarily crass actually. But then it sinks into musk mediated by incense and wood, but very different. Its very nice on men I think, sexy. More a man's fragrance I suspect. Amber on musk….oud radiating around it. Its very nice. Beguiling.
[…] What Men Should Smell Like […]
I don't see why a man like you shouldn't wear Tuberose Gardenia Clayton! It's all about being able to carry it off – Thanks for the Heeley Oud review (and the broader oud information). Grain de Musc did a typically intelligent piece on Oud as a cultural object (Feb 11 2011) going into more detail on the point you make about 'western' oud wearers seeing oud as oriental or exotic. I must confess to not being an oud lover yet – more because I've not given ouds more than a cursory sniff than out of dislike. Must put it on the to sniff list.
Catherine, you have convinced me I should get a bottle of Tuberose Gardenia : ) Thanks for the mention of Grain de Musc, I haven't read this article yet but I will go check it out. I am heading to Bangkok next month and I am researching some suppliers of oud oil from Laos and Vietnam. There are a couple of suppliers based in Bangkok, so I am keen to find out as much as possible about it so I am confident of what I am looking for.
Salut! Looks like you had a great time in Europe. I like Tangerine Vert and Citron Citron- great in summer. Miller Harris do a fantastic jasmine (Jasmine Vert) that I was very close to buying last year in London. Jovoy is great isn't it? I stumbled across the boutique during my search for Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier last year as well. Excellent selection and friendly people. Now I wish I was heading to Paris to go perfume shopping instead of preparing for another busy week of work!!
Salut! France was certainly very enjoyable…now of course I am in the middle of my busiest cycle at work.
Jovoy is a lovely gem; I never expected to find something so low-key right off of Rue Rivoli. I have been searching for summer scent ideas, and so far have picked up Tangerine Vert and L'eau Froide. I don't seem to do as well with pure florals; the herbaceous route is more comfortable, I suppose. Unless they are well integrated into the other notes, of course.
Australia hasn't received L'eau Froide yet. I am looking forward to smelling it. On the herbaceous side of perfume, have you tried or are you a fan of Annick Goutal's Eau de Sud? I am in a floral frenzy at the moment and can't seem to get enough of big heady floral numbers. I currently have my eye on Estee Lauder's Tuberose Gardenia.Stunning floral- perhaps not for men, but something I would like for home to smell on paper from time to time.
Speaking of British parfumeurs, I recently came across scents by Miller Harris in a cute little shop in Paris called JOVOY. I rather liked his Tangerine Vert and a couple of others…any thoughts?

Lightning Lure by KatePfeilschiefterWatch
©2012-2016 KatePfeilschiefter
Critter sketch. Fishy cat dude, with a big stinging whip. The whip I imagine behaves like a stingray's spine or a jellyfish tentacle. The creature is immune to its own sting, but prey is stunned/paralyzed by it. Could also use the whip as a lure. The tail is good for whacking things, that's about it.
Does it catch flying prey? because the way the whip is structured I feel like it would struggle to bend it over and hit anything on the ground in front of it.
like it
cool monster
You really have an amazing nack for designing the image of strange structure to a creature and making it believable.
Really scary and interesting design I love your creature drawings
that's a really cool concept
This looks awesome! Great job!
the stingwhip looks a bit cumbersome
Cool sketch!! I like the way he seems to be watching something interesting below, and the perspective and anatomy are well done. Oh, and happy New Year, Kate!!
That's is an amazing concept! I really need to practice my creativity and try to create some monsters and aliens! Haha
Great work, thanks for sharing!
Great work, thanks for sharing!
Really nice!
you can use this creature to some story?
Love those markings!!
Awesome... Very well done, congratulations!
