New Moon: The Graphic Novel – Vol. 1 Will Be Out October 2012
The New Moon graphic novel is set to be released in October 2012! Below is the cover and some info:
The latest installment of the 'Twilight' graphic novels is now available for pre-order on Amazon. With a release date of October 30, 2012, "New Moon: The Graphic Novel, Vol. 1″ is currently on sale for $9.98 (list price is $14.99).
The art and adaptation is once again by artist Young Kim, who did the two previous volumes of the 'Twilight' graphic novels. According to Anime News Network, "both volumes debuted at #1 on The New York Times Best Sellers List for hardcover graphic novels. The first volume stayed on the list for at least 32 weeks, while the second stayed for 14."
I wonder if the "New Moon" covers for volumes 1 and 2 will be one continuous image, like the "Twilight" volumes. If so, what would be on "New Moon, Vol 2″ — a lurking, brooding Edward, standing off to the side?
Will you be adding this to your 'Twilight' collection? Share your thoughts in the Comments section below.

About Gaspard de Coligny, seigneur de Châtillon
- Gaspard de Coligny est un noble et amiral français, né le 16 février 1519 à Châtillon-sur-Loing et assassiné le 24 août 1572 à Paris, lors du massacre de la Saint-Barthélemy. Comte de Coligny, baron de Beaupont et Beauvoir, Montjuif, Roissiat, Chevignat et autres lieux, seigneur de Châtillon, amiral de France, il est l'un des membres les plus connus de l'illustre maison de Coligny. C'est le fils de Gaspard Ier de Coligny, maréchal de France sous François Ier, et de sa femme Louise de Montmorency. Il est le frère d'Odet, cardinal de Châtillon et de François d'Andelot.
- Gaspard de Coligny (16 February 1519 – 24 August 1572), Seigneur (Lord) de Châtillon, was a French nobleman and admiral, best remembered as a disciplined Huguenot leader in the French Wars of Religion.
Coligny came of a noble family of Burgundy. His family traced their descent from the 11th century, and in the reign of Louis XI, were in the service of the King of France. His father, Gaspard I de Coligny, known as the Marshal of Châtillon, served in the Italian Wars from 1494 to 1516, married in 1514, and was created Marshal of France in 1516. By his wife, Louise de Montmorency, sister of the future constable, he had three sons, all of whom played an important part in the first period of the Wars of Religion: Odet, Gaspard and François.
Early life
Born at Châtillon-sur-Loing in 1519, Gaspard came to court at the age of 22 and began a friendship with François of Guise. In the campaign of 1543 Coligny distinguished himself, and was wounded at the sieges of Montmédy and Bains. In 1544, he served in the Italian campaign under the Count of Enghien, and was knighted on the Field of Ceresole. Returning to France, he took part in different military operations; and having been made colonel-general of the infantry (April 1547), exhibited great capacity and intelligence as a military reformer.
That year he married Charlotte de Laval (d. 1568). He was made admiral on the death of Claude d'Annebaut (1552). In 1554, he led the French infantry pikemen and arquebusiers at the French victory at the Battle of Renty.[1] In 1557, he was entrusted with the defence of Saint-Quentin. In the siege he displayed great courage, resolution, and strength of character; but the place was taken, and he was imprisoned in the stronghold of L'Ecluse. On payment of a ransom of 50,000 crowns he recovered his liberty.
Protestant leader
By this time he had become a Huguenot, through the influence of his brother, d'Andelot. The first known letter which John Calvin addressed to him is dated 4 September 1558.
Establishment of Huguenot colonies
Gaspard de Coligny secretly focused on protecting his co-religionists, by attempting to establish colonies abroad in which Huguenots could find a refuge. He organized the expedition of a colony of Huguenots to Brazil, under the leadership of his friend and navy colleague, Vice-Admiral Nicolas Durand de Villegaignon, who established the colony of France Antarctique in Rio de Janeiro, in 1555. They were afterwards expelled by the Portuguese, in 1567.
Coligny also was the leading patron for the failed French colony of Fort Caroline in Spanish Florida led by Jean Ribault in 1562.
In 1566 and 1570, Francisque and Andre d'Albaigne submitted to Coligny projects for establishing relations with the Austral lands. Although he gave favourable consideration to these initiatives, they came to nought when Coligny was killed in 1572 during the St. Bartholomew's Day massacres.[2]
National conflicts
Following the death of Henry II he placed himself with Louis, Prince of Condé, at the forefront of the Huguenot party, and demanded religious toleration and certain other reforms. In 1560, at the Assembly of Notables at Fontainebleau, the hostility between Coligny and François of Guise broke forth violently. When the civil wars began in 1562, Coligny decided to take arms only after long hesitation, and remained always ready to negotiate. In none of these wars did he show superior genius, but he acted throughout with great prudence and extraordinary tenacity; he was "le héros de la mauvaise fortune" ("hero of misfortune")
In the "first war" of 1562-63 he commanded the cavalry at the Battle of Dreux, the first major engagement and, unlike both commanders in chief, managed to avoid being captured, and withdrew in good order from the defeat. He was blamed by the Guise faction for the assassination of Francis, Duke of Guise at Orléans in 1563.
In the "third war" of 1569 the defeat and death of the Prince of Condé at the Battle of Jarnac left Coligny the sole leader of the Protestant armies. Victorious at the Battle of La Roche-l'Abeille, but defeated in the Battle of Moncontour on October 3rd, he entered into the negotiations for what became the Peace of Saint-Germain (1570). Marrying Jacqueline de Montbel, Countess d'Entremont, and returning to court in 1571, he grew rapidly in favour with Charles IX, becoming a close mentor to the weak, easily-manipulated King.
As a means of emancipating the king from the tutelage of his mother and the faction of the Guises, the admiral proposed to him a descent on Spanish Flanders, with an army drawn from both faiths and commanded by Charles in person. The king's regard for the admiral and the increasingly bold demands of the Huguenots alarmed Catherine de' Medici, the Queen Mother.
Assassination and massacre
The wedding of the Protestant Henry, King of Navarre, and Marguerite de Valois, the King's sister brought a great number of Huguenot notables to Paris, and political and religious tensions were running extremely high. On 22 August 1572, the day after the end of the wedding festivities, Coligny was shot in the street by a man called Maurevert from a house belonging to the Guise. However, the bullets only tore a finger from his right hand and shattered his left elbow. The would-be assassin escaped.
It never became clear who, if anyone, had hired or encouraged Maurevert to carry out the attempt but historians generally centre on three possibilities: the Guise family, Catherine de Medici, or the duke of Alba on behalf of Philip II of Spain.[3] The King sent his own physician to treat Coligny and even visited him, but the queen mother prevented all private discourse between them.
The Catholics now feared Huguenot retaliation for the attempt on Coligny's life, and it was decided to pre-emptively assassinate their leadership, in what became known as the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre. As one of the main targets, on the night of 24 August, Coligny was attacked in his lodgings by a group led by Guise. After several of his entourage had been killed, a servant of the new Duke of Guise, Charles Danowitz (Karel z Janovic), generally known as Besme or Bême, plunged a sword through Coligny's breast and threw his body out of a window to his master's feet. Coligny finally died when another of Guise's associates chopped off his head.
Historian Barbara B. Diefendorf, Professor of History at Boston University, wrote that Simon Vigor had "said if the King ordered the Admiral (Coligny) killed, 'it would be wicked not to kill him'. With these words, the most popular preacher in Paris legitimised in advance the events of St. Bartholomew's Day".[4]
Coligny's papers were seized and burned by the queen mother; among them, according to Brantôme, was a history of the civil war, "very fair and well-written, and worthy of publication".
Marriages and issue
By his first wife, Charlotte de Laval (1530-1568), Gaspard had several children:
Louise, who married first Charles de Téligny and afterwards William the Silent, Prince of Orange;
François, Admiral of Guienne, who was one of the devoted servants of Henry IV (Gaspard de Coligny (1584–1646), son of this François, was Marshal of France during the reign of Louis XIII); and
Charles (1564-1632), Marquis d'Andelot, a Lieutenant General in Champagne.
By his second wife, Jacqueline de Montbel (1541-1588), the Countess d'Entremont and Launay-Gelin, Gaspard had one daughter, Beatrice, who became Beatrice de Coligny (b. 1572), Countess d'Entremont.
Several places are named after him:
Coligny, South Africa
Fort Coligny, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Châtillon-Coligny, in France
Coligny Plaza, Hilton Head Island
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaspard_de_Coligny.
From the windows of his ancient castle, Gaspard de Coligny could look out over miles of mountain, stream & forest, all of which belonged to him. He was rich & eminent. His familiy had been great in France for over 400 years.
His mother, being left a widow, had given great care to the care & education of her 4 sons. They were taught the knightly games of tilt & tourney, in which they played at war, and learned how to give blows and take them. They were trained in the courteous manners of the time. They could sing the ballads which celebrated the courage of the heroes of Charlemagne. and could read about them in books. They could also read the New Testement, which had been translated into French. One of the boys was made a cardinal, at the age of 16; one died; and Gaspard and Andelot, were brought to the court of King Francis the First. Here was a life of balls & tournaments, with an occasional experience of real fighting, in the wars which were always going on.
Here Coligny met young Francis of Lorraine, known later as the Duke of Guise, and the two became fast friends. Already the two friends showed the qualities which later made them enemies. Guise desired his pleasure; Coligny to do his duty. Guise was an aristocrat and cared only for persons of high birth of nobility; Coligny cared for the common people. The years passed and Francis died & Henry the second came to the throne, with Catherine de'Medici his wife. It was Guise who held the town of Metz against the tremendous forces of Charles the fifth. It was Coligny who brought order & discipline to the army of France. The soldiers fighting for France came from various countries for the sake of French pay. The were wild & lawless, & their only interest was to get whatever spoil that they could. When war was in progress they fought the enemy, but when there were intervals of peace that fought each other. These were the soldiers that Coligny brought under stern rule. He hated disorder and even more the oppression of the weak at the hands of the strong. He promptly hanged every robber. Men committin lesser offenses were beaten with hafts of pikes. Thus the general saved the people from the soldiers. Introducing into the army a drill, a discipline, a life under severe rule, such as is common enough now.
At the age of 33, Coligny was made Admiral of France. But the fortunes of war turned against him. At the siege of St. Quentin, he was taken prisoner by the Spaniards. During the months of imprisonment, while he waited for the ransom to be paid for his release, he had the opportunity to think, not only about war, but about religion. He became a Huguenot-a French protestant. He brought to the Huguenots the might of his own personality, and the stength of his high position. At the end of the war when the Admiral's ransom was paid which freed him, he found himself at the head of the Protestant party in France; the papal party was led by his old companion, the Duke of Guise. Between these parties, was the Queen-mother Catherine de'Medici. She was the ruler of France. After the death of her husband, Henry the second, her sons came to the throne: first Francis the second, at the age of 16; and after his death, Charles the ninth, at the age of 10. The real power was in her hands.
At a meeting of the Assembly of Notables to consider the condition of the kingdom, Coligny presented a petition, "the supplication of those who, in divers provinces, invoke the name of God, according to the rule of piety." It was a request that the Huguenots be permitted to practice their religion without hinderance. "But," cried Guise, "the petition is unsigned." " I will get 50,000 signatures in Normandy alone," said Coligny. "And I," said Guise, "will give 500,000 who will oppose it with their blood." It was finally agreed to call a national parliament to discuss the matter, and after some years, and many obstructions put in the way by the Guises, such an assembly was put together. An edict was passed that the Protestants had the right to meet under the protection of the law. 6 weeks later, the Duke of Guise, riding toward Paris with an escort of gentlemen & soldiers. On a Sunday morning they came to the little town of Vassy. The Huguenots of Vassy were holding a religious service in a large barn. "What is this," said the Duke of Guise. " It is a Huguenot meeting," said somebody nearby. "I will Huguenot them," cried the Duke. Thereupon he marched his soldiers against the barn; they broke the doors and fired Thus began a series of wars of religion that lasted 10 years. Guise was the leader of the Catholics and Coligny was the leader of the Protestants. The forces seemed to be evenly matched. The whole land was in distress. Campaign followed campaign, across France, leaving burned houses, desecrated churches and dead bodies. Coligny's brother Andelot, after valiant service in the Huguenot army, died of a fever. Coligny's castle was attacked and all of his belongings were destroyed. His fortune was gone. When the news came as to the plunder of his castle, he wrote to his boys, "We must not count upon what is called property, but rather place our hope elsewhere than on earth." Suddenly, with an army that increased like a rolling snowball, Coligny attacked Paris. Catherine, in great fear, made terms of peace. She granted what Coligny had been fighting for, liberty of religion. There was peace in France, but only on the surface. It seemed to Coligny that there was only one way to unite the people of France & that was to go to war with Spain. At this point in time Spain was busy attempting to put down a Protestant revolution in the Netherlands. If France won, Spain would be humbled and the Netherlands would be added to the domain of France; and the cause of Protestantism would be geatly strengthened in Europe. An attempted assassination of Coligny occured while he was attending wedding festivities in Paris. The king and Catherine came to visit the wounded man. Following the sympathy visit, a hasty meeting of the council was set up. It seemed that at any moment Civil War would break out again. It seemed to Catherine, that for the sake of the nation & the Catholic religion, there was only one thing to be done. They must put to death Coligny & all Huguenot leaders in Paris. Such an operation might save France, "The dead do not make wars." On August 24, the feast of St. Bartholomew, the king, urged on by his mother, gave the signal of a ringing church bell and the attack began. The house of Coligny was assaulted and and entrance made. Coligny was killed and his body was thrown out a window to the courtyard to the Duke of Guise. For 3 days, the streets of Paris ran red with blood. Thousands were killed in Paris and in the countryside.
The rejoicing of Christian men over the bodies of their enemies seems almost as horrible as the massacre itself. Other Christians, Catholic as well as Protestant, denounced it. To the pope, however, the news came like tidings of victory in battle. He overlooked the black treachery of it in honest gratitude that the enemies of the Church had fallen.
Thus Coligny died a martyr, and the cause to which he gave his noble life died with him. For a time, the Huguenots were tolerated in their weakness. Finally, by the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes, they were driven out of France.
As for Coligny, his cause failed; but courage and devotion never fail. The men who do battle for the sake of truth and right may be defeated, but their memory becomes a priceless possession. The example of a man who gives up ease, and wealth, and the pleasures of comfortable success, and life itself for a good cause, is an inspiring influence to all time. Coligny's name is a great victory. Men have ever since been braver and better because of him.

How Humans Became Moral Beings
In a new book, anthropologist Christopher Boehm traces the steps our species went through to attain a conscience
- By Megan Gambino
- Smithsonian.com, May 04, 2012, Subscribe
Why do people show kindness to others, even those outside their families, when they do not stand to benefit from it? Being generous without that generosity being reciprocated does not advance the basic evolutionary drive to survive and reproduce.
Christopher Boehm, an evolutionary anthropologist, is the director of the Jane Goodall Research Center at the University of Southern California. For 40 years, he has observed primates and studied different human cultures to understand social and moral behavior. In his new book, Moral Origins, Boehm speculates that human morality emerged along with big game hunting. When hunter-gatherers formed groups, he explains, survival essentially boiled down to one key tenet—cooperate, or die.
First of all, how do you define altruism?
Basically, altruism involves generosity outside of the family, meaning generosity toward non-kinsmen.
Why is altruism so difficult to explain in evolutionary terms?
A typical hunter-gatherer band of the type that was universal in the world 15,000 years ago has a few brothers or sisters, but almost everyone else is unrelated. The fact that they do so much sharing is a paradox genetically. Here are all these unrelated people who are sharing without being bean counters. You would expect those who are best at cheating, and taking but not giving, to be coming out ahead. Their genes should be on the rise while altruistic genes would be going away. But, in fact, we are evolved to share quite widely in bands.
What did Charles Darwin say about this "altruism paradox?"
Charles Darwin was profoundly perplexed by the fact that young men voluntarily go off to war and die for their groups. This obviously didn't fit with his general idea of natural selection as being individuals pursuing their self-interests.
He came up with group selection as an answer to this paradox. The way it worked, if one group has more altruists than another, it is going to outcompete the other group and outreproduce it. The groups with fewer altruists would have fewer survivors. Therefore, altruism would spread at the expense of selfishness.
The problem with group selection has been that it is very hard to see how it could become strong enough to trump selection between individuals. You need an awful lot of warfare and genocide to really make group selection work.
And what did Darwin have to say about the origins of the human conscience?
What he did really was to take the conscience, set it aside as something very special and then basically say, "I throw up my hands. I can't tell you how this could have evolved. What I can tell you is that any creature that became as intelligent and as sympathetic as humans would naturally have a conscience."
Fast-forward a century and half—where are we now in understanding the origins of human morality and conscience?
Well, there are quite a few books on the subject. But they are almost all arguments out of evolutionary design; that is, they simply look at morality and see how it functions and how it could have been genetically useful to individuals. My book is the first to actually try to look at the natural history of moral evolution. At what time and how did developments take place which led us to become moral? In a way, this is a new field of study.

Would this indicate that human beings by nature are moral animals? Or that human beings are not by nature moral animals?

JEHOVAH GOD is the creator of heaven & earth & demands morality from us as humans.its because ADAM & EVE were not moral that is why they disobeyed JEHOVAH GOD & they paid for it with the outcome of GOD's punishment on them.

If morality evolved in humans, at some point in our evolutionary history there had to be a first act or thought that we would consider morally good. The problem is, this event, whatever or whenever it was, requires a standard by which to define it as morally good. Put another way, if the first moral act was self-control, and we consider self-control to be morally good, something had to exist in order to define self-control as morally good. If we say that self-control, like many other altruistic behaviors, had survival value, our brains recognized this and saw the good in carrying on our genes, which we would have determined was a good or right thing based on, again, some pre-existing moral standard. It seems apparent that upon any genuine look at "moral origins" in which we imagine the first instance of morality, it requires a moral law to be in place already. What then is the origin morality?

I will read the book. I appreciate any researcher who shares his or her information. The author has researched different cultures and primates for forty years. He only speculates. Come on readers. Lighten up and open your minds.

This is interesting. I actually wrote a paper over this last semester, the thesis is called evolutionary ethics, and applies natural selection to human traits that are genetically passed down. If you accept the fact that certain sociological traits or behavioral characteristics, such as being altruistic, have a correlation to specific genes that can be passed down, then natural selection can be applied in that people with desirable characteristics have a higher chance of surviving, finding a mate, and passing their genetics down. Humans are extremely socially dependent creatures, and the trait of altruism could be said to be a necessity in our success thus far.

That series of questions put to the author, has made me think more then anything I have seen or read in the last two years! Will certainly be purchasing the book!

Yes "me" human are of course apes. Great apes (hominids) to be exact.

If morality is something that is merely "genetically useful," what do we say to minorities in our country when it comes to equal rights? Do we say, "there is nothing inherent in you that makes you equal in dignity to people in the predominant population, but we find it beneficial to treat you as if you are equal because our survival depends on it." What, then, if our survival depends on not treating them as equals? Would it be valid to treat them as inferior, if the majority of the population benefited? If morality is merely something that has evolved as beneficial to survival, you cannot tell anyone that they have any human dignity. Certainly evolution does not impart it.

"I find nothing remotely resembling science in this article." - This article is an interview with a scientist, and a plug for his book. Usually, an author, especially a peer-reviewed anthropologist author, will lay out in great detail the science behind the hypotheses and explain how he/she arrived at their conclusions based on their research. Now, in a short interview, what you will usually get are brief answers to a handful of questions. Aka, read the book or shut up.
Posted by Jon Bailey on May 10,2012 | 06:04 AM
Fascinating! I will have to read this book! Why do we need to study morality? Because saying 'god makes you moral' is far too out dated to make any logical sense. Frankly organized religion has done what most societies would call some of the most immoral atrocities of all! To understand why we developed morals in the first place might tell us more about what makes us human than we ever understood before. Perhaps even our future(s) can be glimps through our moral evolution.

I love how some people seem to feel that theology should have some influence in anthropology and biology. If I went to a church and sat there shouting out what I consider to be inconsistencies in their mantra, I don't imagine they would be nearly as tolerant. I guess the problem is the outdated technology in the bible preventing public comments and restricting editing privileges to people that hear voices in their heads. Ignorant bigots aside, the article is very interesting. I'd like to know more about the traits of the modern day groups that were studied that contributed to this theory, but I imagine I'll need to make a trip to the book store for that.

It never occurs to these ego centric scientists that something might exist outside their narrow, frankly sad, understanding of humanity. Not all humans are moral, and all humans are sometimes immoral. Its called having a soul and a will and the unit is the individual not the collective. We dont need scientists to observe this. We just need to walk to any street corner.
Posted by james on May 8,2012 | 03:53 AM
While it is nice to be able 'explain' altruism in human
beings and is consistent with our ego-centrism we might be ignoring hundreds of examples of the same altruism in the animal kingdom. Those of us that spend considerable time in in nature be it as hunters, photographers, conservationists we know it to be in action amongst our animal cousins too.

Although i'm happy with my results so far, i know they could be even better.
I'm currently trying lose more inches off my waist while gaining muscle mass in my upper body and arms. I'm over 40 and have a weak left shoulder due to an unrepaired muscle tear from 10 years ago, but i'm otherwise healthy now. I work out 3-4 times per week with each day focused on specific muscle groups. Each workout day also includes a 30 minute cardio warm-up and a 10 minute cardio post lifting session cool-down.
Diet: I am on a high protein diet with very few calories of empty carbs (i.e. no soda, white flour, etc). My protein intake is approx. 100g per day with a total of approx. 1800 calories.
Supplements: Syntha-6 Protein Powder an hour before my workout along with Creatine MonoHydrate. Post workout Amino-x
My exercises are always changing after a month to reduce the muscle memory factor.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to specific routines, supplements, using the supplements, and/or diet that could help me keep gaining mass while still losing those inches?

This is one of the stupidest things I have ever heard. I have xbox Live but I have to say that Microsoft sucks and that I would be on the PlayStation Network if Halo or Gears were for PS3.
This is bad, but I would think it imprudent to join an adolescent community introducing yourself as Gaylord Gaysmith, or anything similar.
Oh, and there was a teacher in one of my elementary schools whose name was Gaylord - and as inappropriate as making fun of that might have been, kids can be very inappropriate.

In the restaurant business, an empty chair at an empty table is not normally a good sign.
Most proprietors want to see every chair filled with happy customers enjoying food and drink. For Greg White, owner of County Line Pizza & Pub, this empty chair and table are a source of pride.
Three local Veterans of Foreign Wars posts honored White and his establishment with a POW/MIA table on May 28 , the only memorial of its kind that exists in a civilian institution.
Three different VFW organizations worked together to honor White and County Line Pizza & Pub with a table. WFW Post 4407 in Gulf Breeze, Post 11367 in Mary Esther and Post 4833 in Milton combined their resources to make the vision of a POW table a reality.

Although it is believed that the Romans were the first to mine the mineral deposits in the area, Leadhills likely did not exist until the 16th century. Gold from Leadhills was of national importance and was used to form the Regalia of Scotland, which is on public display at Edinburgh Castle.
Leadhills and Wanlockhead Steam Railway is the home of Britain's highest adhesion railway. It climbs to 1,498 ft above sea level and visitors can ride on the 2 ft gauge tourist railway.

I love it , I cant say enough how much I love it Its definatly in my top 2 , however I dont get any chocolate at all from it
As for longevity and silage , both great , 2 to 3 sprays will last the whole day
Just wondering what people think of this one? Is the chocolate rose description I've read fairly accurate? Those are two notes I'm very fond of. Also, how are sillage and longevity? There seem to be conflicting reports with some saying its a long lasting sillage monster and others saying you have to apply a lot of it. I look forward to hearing some opinions.
I love it , I cant say enough how much I love it Its definatly in my top 2 , however I dont get any chocolate at all from it

Not like chocolate, but definitely a bit of a cocoa accord running around with the rose and woods. A bit sour and tangy (in a good way), it also has a shiny aura to it that is probably a healthy dose of synthetics.
Sometimes I wear it and it lasts a long time, other times its fleeting.
Not a safe blind buy, for sure. I think it would appeal to those looking for a unisex rose scent, but nonetheless I have smelled (and own) much better rose scents.
hmm... longevity/projection is not too good with this one after the initial opening. I've only tried it twice so don't take my word for it just yet. I expected to be a lot more potent, based on the reviews on here. After a couple of hours, it definitely fades a lot and sits very close to my skin. It certainly won't go a whole day on my skin.
The smell isn't unique, it reminds me a lot of those rose/oud attars you get in the middle east, but it's well made and smooth. It does lean on the feminine side imo. I'm gonna wear it a couple more times to make my mind up. So far I like it but it's not quite rich enough imo (the opening is rich enough but doesn't last long enough). M Micallef's Aoud Homme was an alternative suggested on here so I will definitely be checking that one out.

One of my favorite rose scents... not one that I find suitable for a lot of different types of occasions, but it's really gorgeous. Unlike Badr, I find it extremely long lasting.
A hot mess to be honest, but one man's garbage is another man's treasure as they say. That's the beauty of basenotes.
one of the best rose scents, one of the best scents overall....an example how to use an oud note properly

Didn't find it the least bit interesting.
I found it to be quite wonderful!

Its a beautiful one. If you dont like the rose note, you may like this one. No chocolate but who cares. The projection is as good as any TF fragrance which to me is next to great. Its still on my tie going strong from two days ago lol. And I dont find it feminine.
I only got to sample it lightly from a dabber once so far and I know I'll get a little flack for the comparison but it really did remind me of A*Men without the tar note. I'll have to try it again to confirm but from what I remember while wearing it I was thinking, 'this is what a*men should have been'. I really liked it.
***My SALE thread***My TRADE thread***
Frag addicted? Join the support group We are too but dam we smell good!
Beautiful scent. My wife thinks its too feminine for me so I refrain from wearing it. We still fight over Black Orchid for crying out loud.
Great saffron, rose, truffle and chocolate liqueur notes. In my opinion this is one of the top three in Tom Ford's line. You must sample this and do not blind buy. There are several people that have sampled Noir de Noir that complain about a fecal or barnyard note. I just smell chocolate and truffle.
- Expect the unexpected
Probably my favorite rose based fragrance. I admit, I have some trouble pulling it off in the opening as the projection is above average, and comes off more feminine to me. However, an hour in when it gets more smokey, and raspberry, it teeters more into the unisex zone which is where it shines the most for me. Though I have said this numerous times, and what's one more.. Noir de Noir is one of the most beautiful scents ever created.
One of my favorites from the Private Blend along side with Tuscan Leather, Oud Wood and Tobacco Vanille. I've read that some people consider it a bit feminine? I don't think so.
How does NdN compare to Black Aoud in terms of longevity and silage? I can't see how anything on planet earth can beat my Black Aoud (Haute Conc).
Bumping an old thread to say I just tried NdN and I have to say this is love at first sniff.
Its starts off very nice, with the chocolate rosy oudy scent but the drydown is this sickly powdery synthetic smell. Pass for me. At its price point, there are better options available in the market.
Menthol cigarettes.
I did not like it.
Originally got a sample from a store and gave it away because I simply could not wear it. Very disappointing. Le Labo rose 31 is a WAY better rose if you ask me, although I probably would not be buying a full bottle of that any time soon either.
Sampling first is strongly advised.

Hi! I looked everywhere and can't find an answer to this question - How do you stop the snow from collapsing when you pour the syrup on?
I know there'll be some collapse, but I'd like to retain the dome shape on top and it's not happening
We're using a block shaver. The snow is light and fluffy.
The syrup is cool but not cold.
Whether we pack it gently, firmly, or not at all, it still collapses dramatically.
We fill a cup to the lip, apply syrup (which collapses the snow in the cup, that's fine), add more snow and then round the top so there's a dome shape.
When we add syrup to the top, the snow on top collapses.
Whether we start in the center and spiral our way out to the edges,
or start on the edge and spiral our way up, the snow collapses.
Is there any way to keep the nice dome shape intact?
Thank you!

Glass Raindrops
Few things in nature are more beautiful than the early morning sunlight glinting off a tree that has been kissed with dew in the night. The little drops of water are like nature's ornaments and the only way you're going to reproduce the effect inside is with multiple sets of Glass Raindrops. Each of these drops is 1-inch long and is sold in a set of 24. A few sets, along with a string of lights, would make a Christmas tree look amazing. Price: $15 per set ($12, on sale).

http://www.pandemicstudios.com/conquest/ Has anyone else looked at this?It looks awesome. Look at the screenies and videos on the link,i am impressed.
http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/944/944390p2.html Hmm, IGN didn't have good things to say about it. Maybe a good rental game.
I loved that game. Grab a buddy and kill waves of baddies in a LOTR universe. If this is like that, then I will certainly give it a shot.
LOTR has run it's course imo. They need to just focus on the mythology of middle earth (perhaps delve into the Similarion stories, there was much more to Tolkien's universe than the LOTR). The LOTRO really should have been the last word, and in many ways it is, unfortunately it ends up like too many other MMOs though. If they could make a game w/ Morgoth v.s. the Valdar (I think that's what they were called, it's been a bit), it'd be nice, or at least something exploring other corners space and time in middle earth (I'd like to see a story w/ Tom Bombladil as well).
Yeah its about where you have your choice to choose bad or good. And it is what about if Frodo never mad it to destroy the ring. And it is also multiplayer online co-op.
the demo was fun as hell. idk if I'm going to pick it up or not tho, with skate2 coming out and having almost no free time, I don't think I will play it enough
I got it,i played a couple of times now.The graphics are really nice,its 3rd person perspective(unless you can change it)
Just got done playing training and 5 instant action maps.. Really fun so far. Graphics are pretty nice as well. I like playing the scout so far. I kinda like ranger too as well.

Birmingham, Alabama Monday, October 14, 2013
American History TV was LIVE from Birmingham, Alabama, all day on Sunday, September 15th, 2013, for the 50th anniversary commemoration of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing. The attack – by white supremacists in retaliation for the integration of Birmingham's public schools -- killed four African American girls and injured more than 20 others. The murders gained national attention and helped lead to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Earlier in 1963, Birmingham had been the site of civil rights protests led by Martin Luther King Jr., including marches by school children which local officials used dogs and water cannons to quell.
Coverage included:

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Birmingham Civil Rights Campaign in Alabama. The protests gained national attention after local officials used dogs and water cannons on kids after they took to the streets in what was known as the "Children's Crusade." This event features first-person accounts of the events in Birmingham that spring, including remarks by those who took part in the children's protest, as well as student leaders of a boycott of segregated businesses. The discussion took place at the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Birmingham civil rights campaign. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote his famed "Letter from Birmingham Jail" after being arrested for taking part in the protests. The campaign gained national attention after local officials used dogs and water cannons on kids after they took to the streets in what was known as the "Children's Crusade." A panel of authors and historians recall the turmoil of the time, as well as how Birmingham has chosen to remember its past. This event was part of the Alabama Historical Association's annual conference.
University of Hartford professor Warren Goldstein discusses Martin Luther King, Jr.'s time spent in Birmingham, Alabama, and the Civil Rights movement there in 1963.
50 years ago, on April 16, 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. wrote his "Letter from Birmingham Jail" while being held in prison for his involvement in a city-wide civil rights protest called the Birmingham Campaign. King's daughter, Bernice King, CEO of the King Center in Atlanta, joins Alabama's governor, Birmingham's Mayor and others for the unveiling of a historical marker aside the Birmingham Jail.
In this program from our 1999 "American Presidents: Life Portraits" series we focused on Gerald Ford's life and career. Historians discussed his early career and family life, the decision to nominate him as vice president after Spiro Agnew resigned, and how his presidency helped heal the nation after President Nixon resigned. The program, which includes archival audio recordings and film, was recorded at the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library & Museum in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
In 1926, American aviator Richard Byrd attempted to become the first man to fly over the North Pole. He returned from his flight a national hero, winning a Medal of Honor and launching a career as a famous pilot and explorer. However, over the years numerous experts have questioned the authenticity of Byrd's flight, and produced evidence that casts doubt on Byrd's legacy. In this program, author Sheldon Bart examines the life of Richard Byrd, both before and after his historic flight. He argues that Byrd did indeed make it all the way to the North Pole, and that his reputation as an explorer should not be tarnished by his detractors.
Author and Oxford University history professor emeritus Daniel Walker Howe discusses our 11th President - James K. Polk - and the Mexican- American War. In 1845, the United States annexed Texas from Mexico. Following the Texas annexation, President Polk also wanted to acquire California. This eventually led to war with Mexico – a war that lasted from April 25, 1846 through February 2, 1848. The Miller Center at the University of Virginia hosted this event.

George Fox University professor Kerry Irish examines the presidency of George Washington, who was inaugurated in 1789. Washington was aware his actions in office would set precedents. So, for example, despite French assistance to the Colonial Army against the British, Washington kept the U.S. neutral during the French Revolution, seeking to avoid entangling the U.S. in European affairs. Also, at the end of two terms, Washington voluntarily gave up power, and in his farewell address, he warned against loyalty to political parties over country. George Fox University is in Newberg, Oregon.
Cuba's first war for independence began on the 10th of October, 1868, when a sugar mill owner and his followers declared independence from Spain. Because of a high volume of trade with New York, many Cubans in the United States held powerful positions within the resistance movement - providing financial backing for Cuban revolutionaries. The Cuban exiles, however, suffered from rivalries and infighting so General Francisco Vicente Aguilera was sent to New York to ease tensions. In this talk, professor Lisandro Perez discusses Cuban immigration to America, beginning with the sugar trade in 1823, as well as General Aguilera's attempts at reuniting the Cuban-American groups during their first of three wars for liberation from Spain. The New York Public Library hosted this event.

Physicians for Human Rights
Using science and medicine to stop human rights violationsInternational Forensic Program Training Courses
The International Forensic Program at Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) offers courses and online training in forensic science, human identification, DNA analysis, and international forensic investigations. Our online course is open to the public. Annual courses are primarily intended to give human rights workers and investigators an understanding of the importance of evidence documentation and collection, as well as a well-rounded understanding of forensic science in general. Customized training opportunities are available on a case-specific basis to human rights organizations and their investigators.
Online Courses
International Forensic Death Investigations
(open enrollment, self-guided)
This course provides an introduction to the tools, methodologies, and best practices of human rights death investigation. As an unsupervised training course, it provides visitors with the opportunity to test themselves through automated exams and guide themselves through the different modules at their own pace. It is a valuable resource for those new to the field, particularly in countries where training is not readily available. It provides an overview of forensic, investigative, and legal standards, and addresses best practices in the field, assessment and management of forensic projects, human rights and humanitarian law, and working with families of the missing. The course is the result of the IFP's involvement in international forensic investigations for over 15 years and was authored by various forensic specialists who have contributed to the IFP.
Annual Courses
Crime Scenes and Evidence Documentation
(for human rights field workers and investigators)
With the support of the Pat Thomas Law Enforcement Academy in Tallahassee, Florida, the International Forensic Program provides a course on crime scene and evidence documentation. This one-week training course, held each spring, is designed for human rights field investigators who in their line of work might be confronted with having to document evidence of human rights violations as first responders to the "crime scene." The objective of the course is for participants to gain an understanding of the essentials of forensic photography and documentation. This understanding enables them as first responders to document evidence of violations which can be later used by forensic experts.
Forensic Laboratory Services & Medical Examiner's Office Operations
(for human rights field workers and investigators)
In conjunction with the Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office (TCME) and with the support of Texas Wesleyan University, the International Forensic Program offers a two-week course on criminalistics in Fort Worth, Texas. The 80-hour course includes lectures by TCME staff on firearms and toolmarks, forensic anthropology, DNA/biological evidence, trace evidence, latent prints, and trauma. The course includes practical exercises in different lab sections as well as attending autopsies.
Customized Training
The International Forensic Program is available for customized training on a case-by-case basis to human rights organizations and their investigators. Training may include forensic science, human identification, DNA analysis, and international forensic investigations. Please contact forensics [at] phrusa [dot] org to discuss the needs of your organization, or call us at +617.301.4200, and ask for the Forensic Program.
