Donna Karan presents a brand new fragrance in August 2012, simply named Woman. Woman fragrance carries a positive message from the designer to women to feel good about themselves no matter what.
The designer told wwd magazine that this new perfume is as complex as the woman who will wear it. She worked with perfumer Anne Flipo to create the composition, and also collaborated with Estée Lauder Cos. Inc. and International Flavors & Fragrances. The fragrance is built around the core of sandalwood and vetiver from Haiti, including notes of orange blossom amongst others.
Bottle design for the new fragrance is harmonized with the style of Cashmere Mist perfume bottle from 1994, which was created by the designer's late husband Stephan Weiss. The new bottle is signed by architect Zaha Hadid.
The advertising campaign is shot by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin with famous models Christy Turlington, Karolina Kurkvova and Liya Kebede.
The collection includes 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum, body lotion and body cleansing lotion.

I love women's perfumes with a masculine edge. And that is Woman. Which is probably an odd choice for a name of such a masculine bent scent. This is a very beautiful sandal/vetiver with a hint of citrus. I could wear this everyday. This is a fresh and modern take on woodsy. I love orange blossom and it is a wonderful addition here. I really can't praise this enough. While it not be everyone's cup of tea, it is a unique take on a woodsy floral and I can't recommend it enough for women who love strong woods/masculine scents.
A beautiful womanly perfume. Gorgeous. Very very elegant and deep and alluring. I feel completely loved and adored in it, and my husband feels the same (about me!)!!!!
The bottle is exquisite!
I find this very feminine but not like pink sugary insipid feminine...this is creamy bright sharp and classic. Could be worn in professional or casual settings. The vetiver is most prominent to be with the orange blossom giving it a green fresh edge. If u cant find this i suggest klein beauty to be in a similar vein. Beauty is sharper and yes they have completely different notes but i find they have a similar feel
I really like this one. First time I saw a perfume only containing these few quite masculine notes, (though there is probably more to it than thas) :-)
It is so long ago I had Mystere de Rochas (the one from the 80es), so I can't say for sure, that they are alike. But the instant I sniffed this - bam I saw the image of my old a bit ugly Mystere bottle in front of me. Ugly bottle but lovely strong perfume, that I used up to the very last drop. Had I only known then, that it would later be so difficult to come by...
I guess they are not the same, but more like sisters. And when I can scrape the money together, I have to have a bottle of this. This is really something :-)
When I was a fragrance model, Donna Karan was one of the companies I worked for. I was so pleased & happy when this scent hit the market.
It is a very nice & different take on vetiver which is usually a heavy note. Here it is done in a contrast way, surely it is there but not in a very earthy type way. There is a floral note in there possibly the orange flower which gives the vetiver that contrast appeal.
A few things DK messed up with this fragrance. The name.. Woman... Not very creative & not smart. I say that to say this smells VERY UNISEX! Almost completely masculine. This was such a hard sale for me because when women smelled it, the first thing that came out of their mouths was IS THIS A MENS COLOGNE?
Yes marketing was all wrong on this one. The name should be changed & called something completely different & it should have been marketed UNISEX at the very least! I believe it would have had MUCH better success on the market.
It is beautifully done & sexy. A night fragrance with longevity at least 8+ hours on me & projection is high! Leaves a nice scent trail & it does lure compliments.. If you want to stand out & smell different than the crowd, this is a nice one for sure.
This perfume surprized me and is perfectly blended.
Femininity, with orange blossoms , greens,
and with vetiver to give it a slight masculine vibe.
The best I've tried in a long time !
But really, there must be notes lacking the description...
Love this!!!
Being a gourmand lover I never imagined that I'd like such a scent as this. Having never tried a vetiver scent I am surprised to find I like the note on my skin. Its fresh, clean & earthy with woody undertones. Feminine with a masculine edge, this is a sexy adult woman's scent not a soft, sweet, girly fragrance. Thinking of investing in a full size bottle. Longevity is about 6 hours with medium sillage.
I do love the unique Donna Karan bottles. They remind me of an artist's gallery at the New York Met. Chic!
Another cheap blind buy. I LOVE IT. It does have sometimes a hint of masculinity, but it is all WOMAN! Looking forward to wearing this for a long time! HIGHLY RECOMMEND. The woods are Beautiful!
Very creamy- I like, but the orange blossom utlimately kills it for me, never works with my skin.
I want to love this fragrance so much, but to me it smells just like a light version of Secretions Magnifique, minus the floral undertones! I have a suspicion that it's something in the vetiver/sandalwood combo. I'm sure that to someone who has never smelled EM, it's a lovely, sophisticated scent. But as such a dead ringer for a perfume designed to smell of semen, I just can't get over the association and try to rate it less subjectively.
I bought samples of perfume last year. I fell in love with two scents from the whole bunch: Alien (which I'm using until now and lead me to other Mugler fragrances) and this Donna Karan Woman. This one doesn't exist in Indonesia. Looked as I might, I can't find it. But it stays in my mind even as I bought other perfumes. I will buy this online soon, as I know Amazon sellers still got this available. Suffice to say, that's how I love this fragrance, like a longing, a thirst I have to quench. It's simple yet elegant, sophisticated, IMHO not at all masculine, deliciously lingering on my skin. I remember I couldn't stop smelling my wrist. Tried to keep myself from using it but alas the small 1ml sample has long gone now.
The mix of beautiful orange blossom with Haitian vetiver and sandalwood just absolutely divine. I like it's linear quality. Bravo Donna Karan Woman.
What a lovely sophisticated scent. It isn't the usual for a woman's scent and that's what makes it so intriguing. I love woody scents myself so this was a definite buy for me -- creamy sandalwood with smoky vetiver on top. Beautiful representations of the notes. I don't get the orange blossom, woody all the way through. I suppose it might be masculine but if you like woody scents you owe it to yourself to at least give it a sniff.
I guess it should be considered "unisex," but the composition is strange. There is a somewhat watery texture, but it's also a bit green, a bit woody, etc. I think it may be a bit too blended for my tastes, and I find it more interesting than pleasant, though it's not outright unpleasant. It's the kind of scent that I'll probably have to wear a few times before I'll know if it can be enjoyed or not.
UPDATE: The drydown reminds me of a smoother, less "masculine" X-Centric by Dunhill.
I had high hopes for this, but was disappointed in the end. It starts of really interesting and not at all like the candy/fruit/flower bombs popular now. The opening is citrus, woody, possibly a bit of vanilla. After an hour all I smell is wood, as if I rubbed my skin with freshly cut oak. Strange and much more masculine than I expected. After 2 hours the wood is gone and all that remains is a generic sweet-ish scent on my skin. Nothing left of the perfume on my clothes at all. Oh well... at least I didn't buy a bottle - I received a carded spray sample in a random sample mix purchased on EBay.
I love the bottle (very architectural) but the perfume is awful.
This fragrance celebrates the manly and free-spirited side of a woman. It is rather chypre and aromatic, and has a very bold opening on your skin especially if dabbed on. This scent invigorates me and its green notes make it best suited for an active daytime kind of occasion. For women 25 plus in the springtime. You have to be in the mood for this fragrance- it is not for the shy of heart.
"Woman fragrance carries a positive message from the designer to women to feel good about themselves no matter what". I can definitely see a self-assured woman wearing this scent even though it is not in-your-face "powerful" regarding notes or projection. It instantly reminds me of a type of city gal who would manage a modern art gallery and live in a minimalist loft in which she would teach art classes on the side. She's structured and knowledgeable, but she's also approachable.
If I were to sniff this with my eyes closed I would have guessed it was geared for a male, or at least for unisex use, even though it's not quite like any popular ozonic, citrusy, spicy, modern male fragrances in particular. Sweet or "cozy" scent lovers will have a tricky time trying to snuggle up to Donna Karan Woman...
On me, vetiver and sandalwood stay true from start to finish. Vetiver adds and element of citrus and faint smoke/earth to the composition. "Artsy." The sandalwood, while rich, isn't "milky". It does a nice job of smoothing out an otherwise sharp, woody composition, though. I wish my skin pulled more orange blossom, as I detect none.
After 4 hours this is completely gone from my skin. All in all, an interesting fragrance!
Yeah, not a fan of the bottle! However, this was a great blind buy, based off of your reviews (thank you!) and the notes listed. At first spray, there is a slight burst of citrus (orange blossom) and within minutes it calms down warmly to an almost incensed masculine dry down. I'm enjoying this scent and recommend it to all who like the woody type, unisex fragrances. I think it's very similar to Ellen Tracy by Ellen Tracy.
Not at all what I was expecting with a name like Woman. The vetiver is very prominent and gives off a unisex vibe. The sandalwood does a good job of mellowing the vetiver and together they create a light, smokey scent. Perfect for cooler weather, especially during the evening.
This fragrance is very unique albeit masculine for a women's scent. From the initial first spray it screams unisex woodsy refinement . This scent is definitely not for the average everyday scentualist. A man can can for sure pull this off without a second though. Quite expensive online for whatnot is but found a cheap bottle on ebay for 24.99. Definitely give this a whirl of you like earthy musky woodsy unisex scents which lean more masculine. A very good creation and departure from the usual Fruitchouli scents of today
First off, let me say that I am not a bottle person but OH MY GOD, this bottle is f-ing amazing. Secondly, I'd like to say that this fragrance really embodies the difference between a "Donna Karan" and a "DKNY" fragrance.
I think that me and Donna Karan are like, fragrance soul sisters 'cause we both just love WOOD and MUSK.
It seems this must be the real black sheep of the Donna Karan fragrance family because although I recall seeing it on the counter at Bloomingdales when it first came out, it very quickly disappeared. I also see that only 78 people own this fragrance. Super weird for a well known designer especially when this perfume has only been out for 2 years and, to my knowledge, has not officially been discontinued.
Woman is earthy, murky and green. There is something to this fragrance that smells like the bitter skin of a cucumber. This, I've gathered, is the Haitian vetiver. As for sandalwood, I can't say I'm really picking it up, but perhaps it's what mellows out the bitter, rooty, grassy vibe from the vetiver as Woman dries down. I catch a tiny waft of orange blossom here and there, but I don't know if I would have identified it as orange blossom without referencing the notes list. It's just a hint of "something else".
Entirely unisex and definitely unexpected for something offered on a department store counter. It actually strongly reminds me of Six Scents Incense Into the Sea (listed as Incense by the Sea on Fragrantica).
I purchased a FB of DK Woman on Ebay, it is amazing. This bottle would better illustrate Alien; it's twisted and beautiful. I have been looking for a unique stand out scent, and this is it. The middle notes are rich and dense, and I don't see how this is could be considered not a female scent as anyone could wear it if it appeals to you. I have Pink Sugar and I love that too, so if you have diverse tastes in fragrance give this a try.
I tried a sample of DK Woman edp without a clue as to the type of fragrance or the notes. The initial note was something I didn't like, a slap sharp of aldehyde: it disappeared quickly. The second time I tried this scent, there was no irritating top note at all: this was a brand new sample. Then comes a beautiful note of orange blossom or lily backed by an aromatic note that seems slightly citrusy, woody yet fresh. If this is the vetiver, I love it. The image that pops into my head is A Midsummer's Night Dream, with Titiania and her court of fairies. Not the giggly Disney kind of fairies, but elegant, alluring, yet mysterious and other worldly. There is no mustiness, and there's some rich fruitiness that I suspect are notes not listed in the description. I would never have tried this scent because it was described as woody and aromatic, and I don't judge fragrances as 'male' or 'female'. I want a something different and unique, and this definitely is that in a very satisfying way. The middle notes continue to expand, with some tingly sensation in my nose which I would guess is the aromatic element. The sweet floral is subdued, and a full, soft only slightly powdery aromatic stays down to the end. I absolutely enjoyed this and am seriously considering a full bottle. The only small note I miss is a little touch of a citrus or something green to add some intrigue and complexity to the final drydown. This is lovely and warm; I feel it is a welcoming, enfolding scent with good sillage and medium longevity. I have to qualify this by stating my skin absorbs fragrance very quickly and longevity is always a problem except with the 80's type sillage monsters. If you have normal skin, this scent should have very good sillage and longevity.
A sweet, fresh scent. Delicious berryish element, but also, it makes me think of doing the dishes. The drydown is earthy, and then on my skin, things take a sudden wrong turn.
I find myself in Deep Woods country (the insect repellant), and then the slap in the face--everything ends with ammonia. What a crazy trip; I'm definitely not cut out for DK Woman.
When I first sprayed the fragrance I thought smells like a man. I was intrigued. Then the scent evolved to more than a manly scent. It became a Spicey, musky scent with a feminine touch. I purchased 2 bottles a 50 ml for $30.00 and 100ml gift set for $40.00 from a wharehouse sale.
I think after years of searching and 100's of bottles I've find my signature scent.
Update: I have literally been finding an excuse to spray this perfume. The scent lingers nicely on scarfs. Did I mention that the bottle is a work of art?
I tried this and I LOVE it....plan on purchasing this pronto. I keep wanting to smell the coat I had on when I tried this. Can't decide between 50ml or 100ml. I had been looking for something "different" along the lines of oriental/incense with a touch of sweetness. It smells like Japanese incense on me and it lasted about 5-6 hours on my skin.
I love Black Cashmere by Donna Karan for winter, but have been looking for something softer to replace my favorite spring/summer fragrance Jaipur by Boucheron (also discontinued--sigh).
A lovely Indian woman at the perfume counter suggested I try Woman by Donna Karan, as I like very distinctive, unusual scents. Woman is not as heavy as Black Cashmere, nor is it as powdery as Jaipur, yet I love it's softness and originality.
At first spray I get a strong note of Cedar, although it is not in the formulation? The drydown is beautiful, and like my other two favorite perfumes--smells like no other perfume out there. Just wish it lasted longer than a few hours. This is a new favorite for an extremely selective Fragranista, and I think it will be a lovely summer scent for me.
Just stunning...
Got this in a pack of samples from Macy's when I ordered a new bottle of Opium. This isn't something I would normally go ot of my way to test, never mind buy, but...
Donna Karan Woman is unlike anything I have, have had or have tried, although to be honest I am not an aficianado of modern fragrances. One word-Addictive!!.
Very modern compsition in the use of typically masculine ingredients. I feel sad that the idea of women's fragrance is so limited today. Flowers, fruits and sugar.
Reading some of the reviews below really sends that message home, sadly. I think if you think you feel you can wear only so called "femme" frags, you miss out on some individualistic, and yes, very sexy scents that could be just right for you.
I say this because although I love florals,the forest, meadow and green woody scents of my chilhood feel close to my heart.
I love how Woman's fragrance builds as it unfurls.The strength of character makes this sweet/tart beauty not typical. This is no soft aquatic!
The choice of ingredients might be traditionally masculine, however this fragrance is not rough or bracing in the least.
The vetiver,citrus and sandlewood mesh very
smoothly. Interestingly, the composition is sweet throughout, with an underlying spicy-tartness that develops more character longer it is on the skin.
I love how I have applied only one spritz of this, and wow! This baby's strong!! And to discover that this scent behaves the way I want a fragrance to- it amplifies as it reveals its characteristic "fingerprint" on the skin.
Spice is nice, and I just love green scents. Sweet and green is a first for me, and I'm loving it!!!I have been wanting to find one that my husband likes, and the sweetness might make this it for me.
Got myself a sample and was so curious about this scent that as soon as I got it I sprayed on a paper card to see how it smelled (I had some other perfume on and didn't want to spray this over the other one) and I liked it... a lot. Until the next day when I sprayed it on my skin. Four words: nothing woman-ly about this. Didn't like the smell at all and wouldn't purchase a bottle.
Update: sorry Donna Karan Woman for the previous negative comment. After trying this again for a full day I have to say I actually like it. What a strange, curious and gorgeous scent. I cant really explain what it is but this is so different ftom anything in my collection and it grew on me. First time I tried it I put this on before going to bed so I never gave it a chance to develop but today I sprayed it on my skin at 9 am and it just kept getting better and better. I like unique, non standard scents and this is no diffrent. Definitely not your average girlish, fruity flowery scent but rather mysterious, grown up, maybe a bit masculine and yet beautiful. Gotta have some "balls" to pull this one off!!!
Update: still have some samples left and wore this today again (6/27), a warm but breezy day in NY. Oh boy, this is just wonderful, the more i wear it the more i like it. Definitely not your average joe but the woman next door. I might get a full bottle once i run out of my samples. Will probably work well in the fall as well.
By the way, very long lasting with a medium sillage.
For something called Woman, it sure smells a lot like a men's cologne. The orange blossom does soften it, but honestly this is much more suited for a man. The combination of sandalwood and vetiver give it an after shave feel. It is well made though.
Well this little number is quite the paradox, isn't it? It's simply called "Woman" and yet, it's the most masculine-smelling perfume made for women I have smelled since the original Opium. That being said though, I find Woman is much more pleasant than Opium in that it does have a tinge of orange blossom in the undertone. This one is not for me, but if you are looking for a nice bold and complex perfume that will be different from what we usually smell in women's fragrances, this one is for you!
i havent tried it yet but definitely will.
is it really smell like more unisex ? at least according most of the bloggers...great news .
the design is more than worth watching.
What a surprise. The concept of "woman" has been linked for so long with flowers and and candy and Chanel no 5 (though not all at the same time!), that I simply assumed that DKNY WOMAN was going to be some sort of quintessentially feminine perfume. No, not at all. Far from it, in fact!
To my nose, WOMAN is completely androgynous. I won't say that it's masculine, but it's certainly not feminine. Primarily the scent is that of wood--or its aromachemical surrogates. To be honest, upon application this fragrance elicited memories in my mind of all sorts of recent mainstream launches which feature a very strong base apparently drawn from the same vat as Le Labo ANOTHER 13. I don't like that base, so unsurprisingly, WOMAN does not appeal very much to me. For those who enjoy that base, well, here you go, another ANOTHER 13 can now be had at your local department store!
The big mystery to my mind is: why call this WOMAN? Seems like a bad marketing tack, given the nature of this woody, unfeminine, postmodern perfume.
The fragrance reminds me of Nina Ricci L'Air du Temps - Donna Karan Woman seems to have a "spicy" note to it as does Nina Ricci L'Air du Temps; however, that is, when mixed with my body chemistry
Holy WOOOOWZERS is this smokey! When I first spray this on, it literally smells like im sitting by a camp fire. But for some reason, in this case, it's not negative. I dont think I will buy a whole bottle, but the mystery in DK Woman is very intriguing. I would say the "camp fire" smell does die down a bit to a more incense like feel..but i never really sense any floral notes. If you want to stand out, be different, mysterious...or very outdoorsy and rugged..this is for u!
i think it would be a very strong frag. but i tried today. very very slight...100ml bottle looks HUGE!
I have this perfum and I love it!!! I like more dark/musky/woody fragrances. I also love moonight path from Bath and Body works.
I don't smell any orange blossom, or green or white floral!!! I smell vetiver and sandalwood, and that is what I smell basically from start to finish.
I asked the sales lady if this was a mans cologne when I smelled it right from the bottle before I sprayed it on a tester or myself.
Because it does not smell like the prada candy/ le vie est belle, burberry body, sweet smells I bought a big bottle of it. I did notice a friend of mine and her daughter who have allergies sneezing when I wore it... hmm. I may have put too much on??
Love it.
Fans of earthy, woody, incense-like fragrances better get this one whilst you can!! I loooooove this perfume and was excited to have tested a perfume that didn't smell like a teenager, candy, a flower shop, or any other stereotypical ultra-femme perfume so ubiquitous in department stores, on female co-workers, and whiffed on public transportation. This is for the woman who DOES NOT LIKE these things and is as complex as her fragrance choices. I must admit it does remind me of the "Raid" fly spray my mother used to fumigate the house with, but once it dries down it's olfactory heaven for me! I am a big aficionada of sandalwoods, vetiver, musks, and anything resinous. It isn't often and not many women's fragrance will have sandalwood and vetiver as dominant notes. I don't detect the orange blossoms outright, but I will guess it is the subtle sweetness which radiates (slightly!) after 3 hours, softening the bold sandalwood and vetiver. I always have to resort to blending essential oils to create my own perfumes. I couldn't stop smelling my wrists and the inside of my shirt hours after applying it at the counter. Donna Karan Woman is a very unique, complicated, and intoxicating fragrance, indeed!
I will be sure to rack up on this one...as prissy misses (e.g., the flowery, sweet perfume crowd) will cause this one to be discontinued with their endless whining and complaints.
I'm not generally a DK fan and would have passed this one up had not the persistent DK rep keep pushing it on me. You know how they are; the scent is like nothing else and the vetiver is so exclusive, she said. To my surprise, I loved it. The sandalwood smelled spicy on my skin and blended well with the vetiver and orange blossom. It not being too flowery or strong, I think it would be a great, clean smelling scent to wear to work. The rep also said the bottle was made to represent the curve of a woman's back. Try as I might, I don't see that one. At all. For gosh sakes, it does kind of look like some kind of swiffer handle. She also said that the bottle of Cashmere Mist represented the curve of a woman's neck; maybe I can picture that one a little better. Lasting power was very good - about 6 hours. Sillage is moderate, and I get compliments when worn.
I am happy with the scent as I have been with all of DK's perfumes. It does smell kind of manly in a way but I do keep wanted to smell it on my wrist. I like it alot. And the bottle I think is an awesome design very modern and it will look cool among my other bottles.
I didn't see an iron. It looked elegant and enticing enough to get a sample though. I actually liked it because I had been looking for an incense-like fragrance for women for some time. It didn't seem masculine at all. Most men's perfumes tend to assault the nose with the sandal wood and citrus notes and something else which makes them so obnoxious (referring to the perfume not the man). But alas this is no Dreaming in Portofino- I would not wear it to work even though it is more gender neutral a scent, and the notes are much less complex and interesting, which can also be said of the nostalgic associations I get from it... for example, churches, cathedrals, other places of worship, pilgrimages, etc.
I don't know what orange blossom smells like, unfortunately (?), the top note at the skin smells to me like watermelon candy - but subdued. It's excellent. I think it might be my new signature fragrance... except that it doesn't have the lasting power of Armani Code, sillage of Aquolina. (Good thing?)
Initially this one smells like bug spray, can somebody say 'RAID'!!!!!
Yes, it DOES look like an iron :D Sad thing about it that there's nothing unique in the scent, and I think we can expect "Woman Floral", "Woman Sensuelle" or any other to be released soon, like it is with "Delicious"... It's so easy for them to launch a "New" when all you have to do is change a color of a bottle and few chemicals in the liquid.
Just went to Sephora for a sniff - not bad. Didn't find it that complex, but I'm all for empowering women. Great motivation for a scent, stunning bottle and acceptable fragrance which wears close to the skin. Worth trying.
Tried this at Nordstrom's today. Smelled a little too heavy on the sandalwood on paper, but the vetiver really comes out on my skin. There's a slight smoky edge to it that actually comes across as masculine - though I love unisex scents. Just not what I expected from the name. Wouldn't buy it but it's interesting.
This is like floral soap with some incense in it, there is something "old" about too, not sure what. I can absolutely see how someone else might like this, i'm just not into woody scents at all .. I LOVE the bottle though, but that's not enough to make me go get a big one.
I went to Nordstrom's to sniff this one out. One spray and this pungent note immediatley assailed my senses. Was it the sandalwood? I love sandalwood, but for some reason, I had a really hard time loving this one,even after it dried down.There is a really strong note in fragrances like this that just dominates..I wish my nose were more sophisticated so I could name it.I have worn the orginal Donna Karan (loved it), Chaos (loved) and Tom Ford's Black Violet (heavy stuff)AND Black Cashmere (ok), so I love the spicy, darker scents, but Woman clung to me tighter than a codependent ex-boyfriend. Have to give it a thumbs down.
Update to my previous comments: Although this is a lovely fragrance, I will not be purchasing. It lasted about 2 hours on me and I made the mistake of spraying it in the same room as my husband. He got up and left the room, commenting on that "acrid" smell. Well, I can't very well purchase a fragrance that clears the room. Personally-I still like it, despite what his opinion is, but I just can't buy everything, and I did get a splitting headache the afternoon I used it. Whether or not the perfume gave me the headache-I can't say for sure. But there are too many negatives for me to purchase. Too bad, the bottle would have really looked good with my collection! But it is worth a try, perhaps others will have better luck with it than I did!
After an intense shopping trip to Nordstrom's yesterday, I came home with a bottle of Chanel Coco Noir which I had pre-ordered and a large sample of this-Donna Karan Woman. The Noir disappeared after about 5 hours and I couldn't wait to try this out for a test spin. I think it's lovely! Unfortunately, the Noir gave me a splitting headache, so testing it wasn't fun. But this fragrance is much softer IMO and I love the bottle. The comparison of the bottle to a Swiffer mop handle brought a chuckle-but I find it beautiful-almost like a modern sculpture. I don't care for Cashmere Mist, so I was reluctant to purchase a bottle until I had tested this at least twice. We'll see how it develops as the evening progresses. It's so much fun to come home with samples and "play" with them. First I spritz and let it dry for a bit-sniffing every five minutes or so checking out the different notes and after a few hours-I do my research on this great site and see what other fragranistas are saying. My olfactories have aged, so I don't detect the different notes as easily as I once did, so I'm sometimes very surprised to read the descriptions of the fragrances I'm testing. It's all great fun-part of the joy of fragrance. I didn't have the luxury of doing this when I was raising my three boys-there was always something else going on and I seemed to be constantly washing my hands. But now, in retirement, I'm able to lay around and sniff! Such luxury! I also do not find a chemical edge to this scent. Very nice, very nice indeed! Certainly worth a trip for a sample. Will I purchase a bottle? It depends on longevity and dry-down. So far I love it. We shall see.
Mmmmmmm. THIS, along with Coco Noir, were my favorites if the night. This one smells of a dash if bergamot swirled around woods and hints if more citrus. The bottle is really nice in person. It smelled like SOMETHING that I can't seem to wrap my head around but I do want a bottle. I'll test it a bit more before I purchase it :)
The notes state orange blossom, but I get tangerine. The beginning is very sharp/almost synthetic smelling, and very tangeriney. It then becomes smoother; and I detect some sandalwood, vetiver, and vanilla. Still lots of citrus, though. If you've smelled Bond #9 I love NY for mothers, this one reminds me of that. It's not for me, but some may like it.
Anyone else think it's funny that this perfume is called "Woman" and the bottle resembles an iron or the handle of a Swiffer mop? Hmmm...

Snow Mountain – Xueshan
Difficulty – 4 (out of 5) Duration – 2 days and 2 nights
Snow Mountain (or Xueshan in Chinese) is the second highest peak in Taiwan, behind Jade Mountain. The main peak stands at 3886m and has unbelievable views of the Sheipa National Park and its nearby mountains on clear days.
There's nothing particularly technical about the climb to the peak, and the route from Wuling Farm is possibly the most scenic hiking trail on the island.
The trip can be arranged as either or 2 or 3 day hike, depending on the fitness of the hikers.
Day 1
Generally, we will arrive at Wuling Farm on the first evening to acclimatize to the altitude. It is also possible to hike 1-2 hours to the first cabin and spend the night there.
Day 2
This day involves a moderately steep hike up to the 369 cabin. The trail leads through a beautiful pine forest, before opening up and giving some great views of Nanhudashan and the Hehuanshan range. Along the way we pass by the infamous crying slope (don't worry, it's not that hard!) and Snow Mountain's East Peak.
When we arrive at the cabin, we settle down for the evening before eating dinner and enjoying the sunset.
Day 3
After spending the night in the 369 Cabin, we get up early (around 2am) for breakfast before making a start for the peak. The aim is to arrive at the cirque or the top for sunrise. Once at the peak, we spend some time taking in the hopefully amazing views before heading back down to the cabin. On the way down, you'll have a chance to appreciate the Black Forest in the daylight. This ancient forest of tall arrow-like firs is stunningly beautiful, especially in winter when snow often covers the forest floor.
Once back at the cabin, we rest, eat and pack and then make our way back down to Wuling Farm.
The first day involves a 1-2 hour walk. The second day is usually around 6-7 hours and on the final day we walk for around 10 hours. There is some exposure to heights and high altitude. A good level of fitness is required. Hikers are expected to carry around 10-12kg to the 369 Cabin.
Typically pick up and drop off is from Taipei, but other locations can be arranged, including Taoyuan International Airport. We will travel by car or small van depending upon numbers. All of our vehicles are insured and all drivers have local licenses.
For private trips all meals are provided for. If you have any special dietary requests, allergies or needs, let us know and we'll be happy to accommodate you.
The first night's accommodation is at the Qika Cabin. Hotels rooms in Wuling Farm can be booked at additional cost. The second night is at the 369 Cabin.
All of our guides are wilderness first responder certified and carry first aid kits. They have all spent a lot of time hiking in Taiwan and are very experienced in the high mountains. All of our guides are native speakers of English, but also speak Mandarin and are very knowledgeable about the local mountains, flora/fauna, and culture.
Taiwan Adventures will provide you with $2 million NTD accident insurance. However, you must have your own travel and medical insurance. Our partners at World Nomads Insurance can provide you with travel insurance that covers you for high mountain hiking.
Prices for a 2 day hike to Snow Mountain start from $49,800NTD for groups of up to 3 people, then $13,800NTD for each additional person. This includes guiding, transport, pick up and drop off from Taipei (other locations can be arranged), all meals, accommodation, accident insurance, and permits. All of our trips can be fully customized. If you have any additional requests, please let us know.

The Cal game at home, with two Cal players injured, was pretty much a must win for a NCAA bid. Stanford has to beat the non-elite teams in the conference at home and hopefully win a few on the road. After one game, they are now faced with zero room for error.

Christine O'Donnell a victim of IRS abuse?
posted at 9:21 am on July 18, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
State officials can access IRS computer systems through a "back door" intended to allow for better communication in investigations, but with so little accountability that the process can easily be abused for political purposes. That appears to have happened already — and the target was a Tea Party candidate for Senate. According to the Washington Times, an official in state government illegally accessed Christine O'Donnell's tax records on the day she announced her candidacy — and the same day the IRS slapped an erroneous tax lien on a property O'Donnell no longer owned:
On March 9, 2010, the day she revealed her plan to run for the Senate in a press release, a tax lien was placed on a house purported to be hers and publicized. The problem was she no longer owned the house. The IRS eventually blamed the lien on a computer glitch and withdrew it.
Now Mr. Martel, a criminal investigator for the Treasury Department's inspector general for tax administration, was telling her that an official in Delaware state government had improperly accessed her records on that very same day. …
Investigators for Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, an influential Republican who serves on the Finance and Judiciary committees, have uncovered one key issue: a backdoor system in which state officials can access Americans' private tax records in the name of investigating with little oversight or accountability.
The Treasury Department's tax watchdog has informed Mr. Grassley that at least four politicians or political donors have had their personal tax records improperly accessed through that system since 2006, including one case in which a willful violation of federal law was identified.
O'Donnell's case appears to be among those noted earlier this week in the IRS scandal. This explanation still has a few gaps, too. The state official may have illegally accessed O'Donnell's records; what happened to the information? Did it get sent to one of her competitors in the race? How exactly does this relate to the IRS lien on the property O'Donnell no longer owned? The investigation into this abuse should have found all of these answers, right?
Oh, wait — the DoJ isn't interested in pursuing abuses when the victims are Tea Party activists:
But the Justice Department has declined to prosecute any of the offenders. Treasury officials have refused to give Mr. Grassley any specifics on the cases or to describe the disposition of Ms. O'Donnell's case, claiming even people who improperly access tax records have an assumption of privacy under federal tax laws.
Mr. Grassley scoffs at that explanation and is demanding answers from the Treasury and Justice departments.
Seems like a lot of the "bad luck" that affected some Tea Party candidates wasn't bad luck at all.
Glenn also points out that the House Oversight Committee will hold a hearing today to look into some of the other abuses at the IRS. The hearing starts at 11 am.

Music matters at local school
SUGAR CITY, Idaho - It was the first day of school for many students throughout Eastern Idaho, and while Sugar-Salem students are one week in, it was still a day of firsts.
Mark Seare is the band director at Sugar-Salem Junior and Senior High. Today he guided sixth and seventh graders toward their first musical instrument.
"I'll send the students out with mouthpiece sanitizer and they're going to get to try every instrument tonight."
Seventh-grader William Katko did just that, and got the instrument he hoped for, the trumpet.
"I'm going to see if I can be in the high school band," said Katko.
Students rarely change their instrument or quit, but Seare says even if they do change their tune, it's important the kids have the option available.
"There's all sorts of different programs that develop a kid," said Seare. "Arts, drama and things like that."
Throughout the country tight budgets have forced some schools to cut programs like music, but Sugar-Salem only lost funding for marching.
"Our school systems right now are really focused on the reading and writing things, but studies show time and time again how beneficial music education is," said Seare.
Sugar-Salem and many schools around the area have Chesbro Music and other companies come and provide instrument rentals for families.

Farm to Table: How New FDA Guidelines Affect Beef and Dairy
Published January 30th, 2014
Loading Video...
Antibiotics are used in cattle as well as people to fight sickness.
If overused, however, the animals can become immune to them, opening the door for other diseases.
Antibiotics also have been shown to promote growth in animals, which some food producers have taken advantage of.
The Food and Drug Administration is now limiting the use of some over-the-counter antibiotics.
New science developed at the University of Florida might make this issue a thing of the past.
The FDA says that antibiotics can make drug resistant bacteria show up in beef and in milk.
But ranchers and experts say rumors of this happening have been greatly exaggerated.
All for one and one for all.
"We're all human and we don't want antibiotic resistants in humans either. We're human and we're going to need them too," said Florida Cattlemen's Association Treasurer Ken Griner.
Griner and Don Quincey run major cattle operations in North Central Florida.
"We don't use antibiotics as a growth promotant so they aren't given antibiotics on a regular basis only as an animal health and welfare issue," said Don Quincey, owner of Quincey Cattle Company.
Quincey sends cattle to many parts of the country to be fattened in feed lots.
That's where many antibiotics are given to cattle. The medicine can help animals grow larger.
The Food and Drug Administration recently ruled that some widely-used antibiotics can no longer be purchased over-the-counter.
"I think it's common sense really. We don't need to be using antibiotics as growth promotants. I think that's probably a good thing and I support those guidelines," said Quincey.
Penicillin and Tetracycline are among the list of drugs the FDA has restricted to a prescription.
They can be administered by injection, or added to the animal's food and water.
These new guidelines will require more from veterinarians.
"The veteranarian will have to know the farm, know the conditions in which that product is being used and obivously, I'm assuming there might be some cost providing that technical service to the producer," said dairy cattle specialist and veterinarian Dr. Jose Santos.
The trouble is animals and humans can develop resistance to antimicrobials, and become susceptible to other diseases.
University of Florida experts say 70 percent of antibiotics produced in the U.S. are for animal use. Animal producers say that the new FDA guidelines might affect their animals welfare unless new research can get ahead of the curve.
Dr. K.C. Jeong and his research team at the University of Florida are developing a unique new material made out of shrimp and crab that could cure illnesses in animals and humans.
"We processed them and they generate some kind of drug. It's very biocompatable and it doesn't cause any side effect," said Dr. Jeong with the UF Animal Sciences and Emerging Pathogens.
It may take a couple of years for this research to be complete but it's exciting news for cattle ranchers.
"I think science today is just amazing. Whether it deals with human medicine or animal medicine, we have more scientists in the country than ever before and it's amazing the science that comes out of it," said Quincey.
Most think this move by the FDA was to reassure the public that we have a quality food supply.
In the beef industry, the USDA has strict guidelines on testing for antibiotic residue in meat.
"If there is an issue found that there's any residue, it gets discarded," said Quincey.
In the dairy industry, the United States produces close to 200 billion pounds of milk every year and of that, .002 percent of the supply is diagnosed with a residue.
And every truckload of milk is tested for antimicrobials before it reaches the creamery.
"The probability of having a milk tank contaminated with antimicrobals is very low and often times those very few cases they happen because of an error, not because it was purposely caused," said Dr. Santos.
Veterinarians and scientists believe animal producers receive much of the blame and say there is evidence supporting both sides.
But public oversight is seen as a good thing by those who provide the meat and milk you feed your families.
"I think we all have to take time to involved the public and let them know we get up everyday and try to do it like it ought to be done and like they would want it to be done," said Griner.
"We don't want to overuse antibiotics, they are very expensive. But we need to be able to use them when we do have health issues, so we don't want that taken away. But we don't want to be using them on a daily basis for growth promotants," said Quincey.
Animal pharmaceutical companies have 90 days to let the FDA know if they will voluntarily move these over-the-counter drugs to prescription only use.
They will then have three years to implement the changes.

Date of Stay: July, 2011
Lake Arrowhead never disappoints. The bathrooms and showers are always clean, and the pools are nice and large. The staff is friendly and sites are well kept. We will be back again next year for sure.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
We stayed at the campground over 4th of July weekend for the first time. Although the campground was nearly filled to capacity, we were amazed at how quiet it was. The campground is a little older than some in the area, but it is very well maintained. Our kids loved the pool and playground. The owners really do enforce quiet time and do their best to make sure that Kilby Lake remains family friendly. We had a disturbing neighbor that moved in over the weekend that was drunk and throwing around foul language (loud enough surrounding sides could hear). The neighbor received one warning and then was evicted from the campground; we were very appreciative. We will definitely be back again.

The organization of ground and inland water Search and Rescue (SAR) teams began in the Yukon in 1990 under the Emergency Measures Organization.
In Yukon, ground and inland water SAR services are provided through a partnership between the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) "M" Division, the Emergency Measures Organization of Yukon Government (EMO), and the volunteer Yukon SAR Association.
All of the partners are critical to the success of providing search services: the RCMP have the legal jurisdiction in the Yukon for ground and inland water searches outside of National Parks: Emergency Measures Organization provides support to our partners through the provision of training, equipment and funding. The Yukon SAR Association provides motivated, trained and equipped volunteers with local knowledge.
Over the past number of years, many SAR incidents have been responded to in the Yukon and Northern British Columbia, primarily in remote and mountainous terrain. During these responses it has been the dedication of the Yukon Search and Rescue volunteers that make all the difference.

Help building a LED fixture
Hey guys so I have found someone who will be able to make me an LED fixture that I will use above my main display tank that is 30x18x16 inches lxbxh. It will be a dimmable fixture which I think is important in an LED setup. The fixture will be using 3W Cree XPGs. I know all my questions are inter related but Ive broken it down to help me understand better :
1] How many Watts do I need for a Med to High (dimmable) light tank ? Right now I am thinking 18 LEDs for a total of 54W
2] Placement : Im thinking 3 rows of 6 each
3] Optics : Is 90 degrees good for planted tanks with regards to spread and penetration ?
4] Should the fixture be about the same or quite a bit smaller than the tank size ? Considering the spread with the optics and such that all corners of the tank should be lit and the highest that the fixture can be above the surface is 10inches.
Thanks !
See if this helps: http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=168999
Thanks for the link Hoppy but I nearly had a heart attack seeing the maths involved :O
I will switch to 60 degree optics. I am considering 21 or 24 LEDs also instead since I will be able to dim them anyway. Anyy suggestions on if it will be overkill ?
Ideally I am currently and plan on continuing to run my tank at medium light but would like the flexibility to go from high to low and Im guessing this functionality would be provided by the dimmable driver. Im just wondering how many LEDs would suit this for my size tank.
Could you help me out with the calculations in the link you provided Hoppy ?

Traces of viral activity have been found in a mysteriously dwindling population of Pacific salmon, hinting at an explanation for deaths that have so far baffled scientists.
In fish returning to Canada's Fraser River, site of the die-off and home to one of North America's last great sockeye salmon runs, researchers discovered patterns of gene expression usually seen when a body fights a virus.
The findings are not conclusive, and pose many as-yet-unanswered questions. "This is the discovery stage," said Scott Hinch, a University of British Columbia salmon ecologist. "But it raises all kinds of concerns."
The importance of salmon in the Fraser and elsewhere isn't only in the intrinsic marvelousness of creatures that are born far from the sea, spend adulthood thousands of miles away in the open ocean, and return in a final blaze of upstream glory to spawn and die in the waters of their birth.
The Fraser River's wild salmon fishery is worth about $1 billion annually. And that's just the obvious value. Salmon migration is also a physical circuit to the sea, each body a mass of nutrients carried from ocean to continental interior, scattered by scavengers across the land.
Some researchers think the Pacific northwest's forests are so lush not just because of the region's climate, but because its soils were fertilized for thousands of years by salmon bodies — an extraordinary line of natural credit, now threatened by dams and overfishing.
Unlike other major river systems on North America's Pacific coast, however, the Fraser is largely undammed. Even as other Pacific salmon populations vanished or entered boom-and-bust cycles typical of ecosystems on the brink of collapse, its own populations persisted. Until the early 1990s, about 8 million sockeye salmon returned each year to spawn. Then their numbers started drop.
In some years, half of the Fraser's returning sockeye die before spawning. In other years, mortality is closer to 95 percent. "The causal mechanisms of this premature mortality have eluded multidisciplinary research by scientists and fisheries managers," wrote Hinch and his colleagues, led by biologist Kristina Miller of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, in a Jan. 14 Science paper.
In less academic terms, the fish are dying, and nobody can figure out why.
Five years ago, the researchers noticed that some Fraser sockeye appeared to show unusual signs of physiological stress while at sea. In the new study, they take that work to the genomic level. Salmon were caught, biopsied and tagged with radio transmitters in the ocean, about 120 miles from the Fraser; at the Fraser's mouth; and again on their spawning grounds. For each stage, the researchers could look for patterns in gene expression, then see if they tracked with differences in fate.
A pattern stood out. Many of the fish displayed high activity in a set of genes typically activated in response to viral infection. When this genomic signature was found in ocean fish, they were 13.5 times more likely to die before reaching the Fraser. When the signature was found in fish tagged in the river, they were 50 percent more likely to die before reaching their spawning grounds. In fish tagged on their spawning grounds, those with the signature were 3.7 times more likely to die without mating.
"It's excellent science," said fish microbiologist James Winton of the U.S. Geological Survey, who was not involved with the research. "This appears to be quite important." Winton applauded the researchers' approach, which had never before been used in salmon, a species for which researchers only notice the most obvious diseases.
"The fact that, within the physiology of these fish, you can see signs of who is likely to make it and who won't, is amazing," said Michael Webster, a program officer at the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation's Wild Salmon Ecosystems Initiative.
However, though a virus is the most likely culprit, it hasn't yet been isolated. The findings open up a range of new questions, said each of the researchers: If the pattern is indeed caused by a virus widespread in the Fraser, where did it come from? Was it introduced, just as infectious hematopoietic necrosis — a lethal virus endemic in Pacific salmon — has been transferred around the world? If it was always there, did it suddenly evolve into a more virulent form? Or is something else exacerbating its effects?
The researchers suspect climate has a role in the answers to some of these questions. In the last 40 years, the Fraser's waters have warmed by about 4 degrees Fahrenheit, with most of that coming in the last 15 years. "In some cases, that temperature alone is pushing fish stocks to the edge," said Hinch.
Heat and stress can weaken fish, making them more vulnerable to disease. Changing temperatures also change the ranges of microbes and parasites, allowing them to move into new regions. Over the last decade, the Yukon River has been invaded by Ichthyophonus, a parasite that threatens the river's Chinook salmon population. It's believed to have spread because of changing temperatures.
"We use the term emerging diseases. In humans, it's the SARS coronavirus, or avian flu. They also occur in fish. Part of [their increasing incidence] is due to the fact that more people are looking, with better tools. Part of it is due to us moving pathogens around the globe. And part of it due to increasing stress on these animals," said Winton. "At some point, we're going to add the last straw."

Monroe County Commissioner George Neugent, and his wife, Suzie, have even more cause to celebrate and be thankful this holiday, as both have recently been given clean bills of health in their battles with cancer.
George Neugent, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer three years ago, has been cancer free for the past six months, he said. Suzie Neugent, who was diagnosed with liver cancer 18 months ago, underwent a MRI two weeks ago that determined her cancer treatment had destroyed her tumors, George Neugent said.
"We have a great deal to be thankful for," he said.
Some of the scariness of the ordeal was how long their illnesses might have gone -- months, if not longer -- had they not had routine medical procedures or tests. Neither had any symptoms or telltale signs, George Neugent said.
Doctors discovered Neugent had cancer after he an annual physical and simple prostate exam. His wife's cancer was discovered after she gave blood; blood tests revealed irregularities that turned out to be cancer.
Their ordeal has left Neugent with a more skeptical view of how the United States handles health care and given him greater sympathy for the uninsured and the underinsured, he said.
His family wracked up "easily $500,000" in medical charges, most of which was covered by insurance, he said.
"If we didn't have insurance, I would be dead or going to a funeral," Neugent said. "This is why we need to address the health care issue in this country. Without insurance, we would have never received the level of care that we received. Even with insurance, these types of situations can bankrupt people with good economic wherewithal."
Their ordeal has brought them closer together, not only with each other, but also with friends and colleagues.
"The prayers and the amount of interest in our well-being was overwhelming," Neugent said.

Nucleosynthesis is the process of creating new atomic nuclei from preexisting nucleons (protons and neutrons).
The primordial preexisting nucleons were formed from the quark-gluon plasma of the Big Bang as it cooled below ten million degrees.
This first process may be called nucleogenesis, the genesis of nucleons in the universe.
The subsequent nucleosynthesis of the elements (including all carbon, all oxygen, etc.) occurs primarily in stars either by nuclear fusion or nuclear fission.

Google App Engine Goes Up Against Amazon, But That's Not the PointRob Hof
Sure, Google App Engine, the service Google's announcing tonight, looks pretty similar in concept, if not details, to the trio of Web services Amazon.com offers, including the EC2 computing engine, the S3 storage service, and the SimpleDB database product. Just like Amazon's Web services, App Engine lets developers (for now) and companies (eventually) run their applications on Google's computing infrastructure. So no doubt they'll compete at some point.
But I think all the talk about how it's a shot at Amazon misses most of the point. For one, the services are different when you get down into the weeds, as O'Reilly Radar's Brady Forrest points out in a detailed post, and as heavy Amazon Web services user Don MacAskill at SmugMug confirms. Nate Westheimer at Silicon Alley Insider thinks it's more of a shot at Facebook, in fact. Also, Amazon's Web services business remains fairly small, if ultimately very significant.
So I don't think Google really cares that much about trying to edge in on Amazon's territory as much as it cares about having as many applications out there working on the Google cloud. That gives it not only good visibility into the kinds of applications people want and the problems it may need to overcome with them, but also a bird's-eye view into the most promising new startups it might want to acquire. It's pretty apparent that Google knows as well as anyone else that a lot of Web startups are going to be for sale as the economy sours even further, and Google is ready to snap up the ones that are most promising. So much the better if they're already using Google technology.
Amazon's interest in Web services, besides the small amount of money it will bring in for the foreseeable future, is a little different. It wants to enable startups to get going much more quickly and easily, as CEO Jeff Bezos explained in this exchange with me in late 2006, and that's likely to help Amazon more than it hurts it:
Me: Enabling people to much more easily create new companies also creates more competitors for your competitors. Did you think about that?
Bezos: Absolutely! The fundamental point is, it's going to happen, and if it's going to happen, you might as well participate in it.
So yeah, Google and Amazon will be competing more closely than people today realize. But I think the competition will transcend these particular Web services.

Two men found dead in a clandestine P lab in an abandoned mine shaft on the outskirts of Whitianga on Saturday have been named.
Kerry Alexander Murphy, 40, and Grant Christopher Wyllie, 49 - both from Whitianga - are believed to have died from carbon-monoxide poisoning from a petrol-powered generator.
Police were alerted to the men's deaths by a female acquaintance of one of the men on Saturday. It's not clear if that person is facing charges.
Detective Sergeant Ross Patterson said the post-mortem examination on the two men's bodies found they had died from carbon-monoxide poisoning.
The operation was set up about 60m from the 309 Road which is used by motorists travelling between Whitianga and Coromandel township, but was well hidden in the rough terrain on a steep hill in dense bush.
Detective Patterson said the operation appeared to be "relatively new".
He would not reveal how much the methamphetamine operation could have produced.
"The inhalation of chemicals fumes from the clandestine laboratory has not been discounted at this stage and the cause of death will be determined by the Coroner."
Detective Patterson said police removed the bodies yesterday, along with a "significant amount" of equipment and chemicals from near the scene.
He said these items have been confirmed as being consistent with a clandestine drug laboratory.
"There's been a lot of speculation about what happened however at this time I can confirm there was no explosion in or around the mine. This investigation is being treated as sudden deaths as opposed to a homicide inquiry and we are not looking for anyone else in connection to the deaths".
One person who lives near the place where the men were found said the road had a history of drug-related crime.
More than half the clandestine meth labs police discover are in houses, garages or sheds in residential areas, but others have been found in less obvious places.
In the past three years, police have found labs in caravans, vehicles, shipping containers, motels and baches.
Police attending a fire at a gang house in Wanganui stopped a car speeding from the scene and found a mobile P laboratory in the boot.
Detective Patterson said it was too early to comment on what substances were removed, as they still had to be analysed.
Officers spent 24 hours at the scene and specialists were required to carry out the difficult job of bringing the bodies of the men from the mine and down through the bush.
The bodies were removed at 3pm yesterday and several hours later, eight police officers and forensic experts wearing protective gear appeared from the shaft.
Firefighters were on alert for chemicals or flammable liquids when they were called to the scene about 9.30pm on Saturday.
Several people have been injured or killed when P labs went wrong.
The first fatality was reported in 2007 when a 33-year-old man died from burns after a P lab explosion at Te Hana, north of Wellsford.
Meth can be produced in 6 to 8 hours using apparatus and cookware that can be dismantled rapidly.
Up to $10 million is spent annually on insurance claims relating to cleaning and sometimes replacing houses used to manufacture P.

The Lair of the White Worm HTML version
6. Hawk And Pigeon
At breakfast-time next morning Sir Nathaniel and Mr. Salton were seated when Adam
came hurriedly into the room.
"Any news?" asked his uncle mechanically.
"Four what?" asked Sir Nathaniel.
"Snakes," said Adam, helping himself to a grilled kidney.
"Four snakes. I don't understand."
"Mongoose," said Adam, and then added explanatorily: "I was out with the mongoose
just after three."
"Four snakes in one morning! Why, I didn't know there were so many on the Brow"--the
local name for the western cliff. "I hope that wasn't the consequence of our talk of last
"It was, sir. But not directly."
"But, God bless my soul, you didn't expect to get a snake like the Lambton worm, did
you? Why, a mongoose, to tackle a monster like that--if there were one--would have to be
bigger than a haystack."
"These were ordinary snakes, about as big as a walking-stick."
"Well, it's pleasant to be rid of them, big or little. That is a good mongoose, I am sure;
he'll clear out all such vermin round here," said Mr. Salton.
Adam went quietly on with his breakfast. Killing a few snakes in a morning was no new
experience to him. He left the room the moment breakfast was finished and went to the
study that his uncle had arranged for him. Both Sir Nathaniel and Mr. Salton took it that
he wanted to be by himself, so as to avoid any questioning or talk of the visit that he was
to make that afternoon. They saw nothing further of him till about half-an-hour before
dinner-time. Then he came quietly into the smoking-room, where Mr. Salton and Sir
Nathaniel were sitting together, ready dressed.
"I suppose there is no use waiting. We had better get it over at once," remarked Adam.
His uncle, thinking to make things easier for him, said: "Get what over?"

How Psion changed over the years.
As part of the 20th birthday celebrations, we have a rare blog post from our MD Chris Love, who delves back to the early days of Clove and provides us with a brief history of the Psion devices that set the path for Clove and many other devices today.
Psion Siena
The Psion Siena was launched in 1996 and was sold alongside the Series 3c /3mx. It was designed to attract a larger audience of users to the Psion range, with its smaller slimmer size and numeric keypad. The OS was still EPOC but many programs had to be re-written due to its small memory size. The Siena included an infra red port for printing and connection to PC's.
Not a great success in terms of volume sales, but it probably led to the design of the Revo.
Psion Revo
Launched in 1997 it superseded the Psion 3 and became a light version of the 5mx. It lacked additional memory slots but did dun all the software for the Series 5. It led to more females using the Psions and was probably the route that Psion would have built design in future models if they had continued. The keyboard was excellent to use even though it was quite compact.
Psion 5
The Psion 5 was launched in 1997 and won many accolades from both the technical and national press. An advanced operating system in EPOC, a clear backlit screen with icon based applications and a touch screen, made it a hugely popular product and well ahead of the rivals at that stage, although major manufacturers were now looking at entering this market sector.
It has a unique sliding clamshell design which allows the keyboard to slide forward and counterbalance the display. The Keyboard was a joy to use and allowed easy entering of data, with many books being written on it at the time.
Memory could be added and the operating system allowed easy development of programs and the list of programs available for the 5 and 5mx was impressive, including a route planner from Palmtop BV, who went on to form the company that now dominates the Car GPS market with its TOM TOM devices.
Already you could browse the web, email and handle internet banking (notably with Lloyds Bank at the time) using their travel modem.
Psion Series 7
The Psion Series 7 was launched in 2000, a design well ahead of its time and would be the base for the netbook designs from companies such as ASUS years later.
Larger than a palmtop, but lighter and more portable than a laptop, with a full colour touch screen, it allowed users to be truly portable and yet productive. Its design even today outshines many of the netbooks that eventually replaced it. We were pleased to supply 250 of these to the UK gas safety organisation, named CORGI at that time with the Psion Series 7 for their field inspectors
Psion also launched a NETBOOK in 1999 which was designed to be used by the mobile enterprise market, its major difference it that its OS ran from the RAM, which made it faster and easier to load customised versions of the software to suit individual applications.
Did you use a Psion (we expect many did)? What did you like or dislike about it? Could you imagine going back to it?

smoke alarms?
Do smoke alarms have to be a certain distance from a door in a bedroom or within a certain distance of the door?
Always read the manufactures instructions.
Funny you should ask that question. I was just reading the manual for the ones I have, and it says that the detector should be placed in the center of the ceiling of the room, but if not practical, that it be mounted no closer than 100 mm (4 in.) to any wall or corner.
It also states that if local code allows for the detector to be mounted on a wall, that it be located between 100 mm and 300 mm (4 in. and 12 in.) from the wall/ceiling intersection.
Ours are the photoelectric type, but I don't think the type should make a difference for mounting.

I am a younger mom 23 years old, I do not currently have any piercings I have only one tattoo but in the near future i am saving up to get snake bites and my eye brow pierced and another tattoo on my back. Eventually i want more. My friend, who is also a young mom gets told a lot that it is inappropriate for her to have purple highlights in her hair and have piercings and tattoos. None of the tattoos are obscene though.
When you see a mom out with "alternative' or "goth" apparel, or someone who dresses normally but also has piercings and tattoos do you think anything of it or pass no judgement what so ever. Just curious.

No I dont. I have no piercings but I have tattoos and I plan on getting a few more. I love dying my hair RED.
Just because we like different styles doesnt make me a bad mother or irresponsible. Looks dont make a person.

There is a product called Claw Caps that you can glue to her nails, which is acrylic- I have never tried it. Cats do not need to be trained to hunt- this is an instinctual behavior; they are not dogs. You can also buy plastic couch protectors or buy Sticky Paws tape and put it all over whatever furniture you do not want her to go on. Meow to the world ^_^

Marking chicken frames with dye
The place where I got my chicken frames from has now started marking the frames with a dye (like the stuff in cake frosting) to be compliant with USDA (not for human consumption). Does anyone think it is safe to feed your dogs the frames with the dye on it? I would think it would not be safe but wanted to get other peoples opinion on it.
No one has an opinion on whether this is safe or not???
179 Attachment(s)
They use dye to stamp meat for humans, too. I see no problem with it.
There's a Facebook group called the raw feeding community and I have seen this discussion on there. Unfortunately, I don't remember what the result was. Do you use facebook? It's a great group.
I'll check the FB group out. Thanks.
the chicken frames I buy are for human consumption . If I choose to I could put a bunch in a pot and make bone broth as a soup base .
I don't know if I would buy "not for human consumption" . Is there something off about them , maybe a different handling or storage .
I do know that sometimes ground product , chicken with finely ground bone , is marked with charcoal ash so that there is no repacking for human consumption, or mix up with a non-boney ground . This is usually for butcher shops that carry canine meats as a customer service alongside their normal trays or packs of meat .
I was actually making bone broth with some of the chicken frames for myself. As far as I knew they were just as good for humans, not that I would eat chicken frames. I was only told that it is a USDA requirement now. Here is the place I get them from DARPPRODUCT
are they selling chicken backs and necks for dogs at $1.50 per pound ?
what prevents the chicken frames from being human edible then if the frames have to be differentiated "be compliant with USDA (not for human consumption)." ?
If they were okay , then wouldn't it be your decision whether you use them for yourself or your canine?
just asking .
