UFC 153: Frank Edgar Takes Biggest Possible Risk in Fighting Jose AldoSeptember 6, 2012
Frank Edgar hasn't spent more than a couple of weeks at featherweight, and without even fighting at the weight, has a title shot against Jose Aldo.
The former lightweight champion lost his title and immediate rematch for the belt, which prompted him to make the move to 145 pounds. The timing of the move coincided with an injury to original title contender Erik Koch, who was forced to vacate his spot in the UFC 153 main event.
Make no mistake, this is the biggest risk of Edgar's career.
In taking his third straight title fight, Edgar risks not seeing a championship bout—should he lose—for a long time.
No matter how good Edgar is, if he loses to Aldo, there is no way he will get another title shot within the next year and probably more.
Think about it.
He lost his title in February to Ben Henderson. He lost his rematch in August, despite the fact he could and perhaps should have earned the nod.
Now, if he loses to Aldo in Brazil, he would be unsuccessful in three straight title main events.
Nobody could recover from three unsuccessful title bouts like that. Not even Urijah Faber, who seemingly earns title shots like felons earn jail time.
If Edgar wins, his risk will be paid off with future main event favors, the championship belt and the title of the newest multi-division champion in UFC history. He would join BJ Penn and Randy Couture in the history books.
The other risk in this fight is that Edgar is facing the most prolific striker in his career. Edgar ate some bombs against Gray Maynard and miraculously came back to keep his title.
In facing Aldo, he is facing a better striker with a killer instinct and the proven finishing ability to back it up. Maynard is a decision machine, but he should have finished Edgar right when he hurt him.
Come fight night, Edgar is playing Russian roulette. If he wins, his championship dream is alive and well. If he loses, his championship aspirations will be dead, even if it's just for the moment.
Frankie better bring his A-game.

text: I currently own a scag 27 HP mower and I was wondering what other owners have to say about the mowers. What is the main problem that they are having with the mowers. What I have noticed with the scags is that they have choose a good motor that will last, but the hydros seem week and the deck becomes uneven after some use. I am not hard on my mowers so the deck problem is not my fault. Any suggestions I would apprieciate.

The South African property sector holds about R4.9-trillion in assets, of which the residential sector accounts for about R3-trillion, or 75%, research by IPD South Africa, on behalf of the Property Sector Charter Council (PSCC), has shown.
The majority of privately held residential properties (almost 60%) fall within affordable areas, with the South African deeds registry indicating that 3.5-million of the total of six-million residential properties were valued below R500 000.
Formal dwellings comprise almost seven-million of the total housing market, including formal, informal, traditional and other, of 10.8-million units.
The research was carried out to assess the size and composition of the property industry in South Africa to measure the different services and activities within the sector, as well to determine whether the black economic-empowerment transformation figures were in line with the scorecard.
"The aim of the research is to create a consolidated body of knowledge about the property industry in order to foster a consistent understanding of the sector for the purposes of measurement and evaluation of a number of transformation charter imperatives," PSCC chairperson Musa Ngcobo said at the launch of the research report in Sandton.
The report, which provides a snapshot of the property sector at the end of 2010, placed emphasis on the sectors or segments where the greatest activity existed, namely residential and commercial property ownership.
The research found that the nonresidential property sector, which comprised retail, office industrial, hospitality, leisure and other was valued at about R780-billion.
Also speaking at the launch, banking firm Absa property assessment specialist Mashilo Pitjeng noted that the most challenging part of the research was in sourcing information from the public sector, which was valued at about R570-billion.
"Although we have worked with the Department of Public Works in the national segment of public property, which is valued at about R188-billion, we found that the reliability of information gathered from provincial government and local government was questionable.
"Trying to find reliable information which was relevant and updated was much more difficult than the [commercial and residential] sectors and we had to work with the best information we could source, which is why we ended up going through the six sources of information," he noted.
This included the municipalities of the City of Johannesburg, City of Cape Town, Ethekwini, Tshwane, Ekurhuleni and Buffalo City, which together with the estimate of the some-200 district municipalities, equated to about R37-billion in property holdings.
Further, the research estimated that State-owned enterprises added about R6-billion to the equation.
"This report represents the start of an ongoing process and would be presented to industry as a working document. We encourage participation and collaboration from the property sector to not only strengthen the data contained in the report, but also to develop future updates," IPD research director Jess Cleland concluded.

The past year has been exciting and very challenging for the society. Serving as a VP (Technical) and as a Program Leader/Chair for Biological & Biomedical Engineering unit at the University of Guelph for almost 3 years, I have seen both sides of the coin. For this 2015 to 2016 period, working closely with the CSBE Local Arrangements Committee and also looking at other operations, I must have spent at-least over 200 hours in the past several months on this volunteer position for the society.
In addition to serving as the Associate Editor for the Canadian Biosystems Engineering journal, the duties of the VP (Technical) involves preparations, arrangements and development of the technical program towards hosting the annual meeting. I served as a member of the Local Arrangements Committee of CSBE Halifax 2016 as an ex-officio.
Briefly, my activities over this past 12 months can be summarized as below for this past year.
The CSBE AGM 2016 will kick start on Sunday July 3, 2016 with a FREE workshop on 'Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Commercialization' offered by Paul Richards and Kevin Dunn of Dalhousie University. A total of 94 papers has been accepted for presentation from 115 submissions for this upcoming CSBE AGM 2016. Out of which, 66 papers will be presented as oral presentations and the remaining will be presented towards posters.
We have received a total of $8,000 in cash as sponsorship; thanks to a number of organizations including Wild Blueberry Producers association, Doug Bragg Industries, InnovaCorp, Dalhousie - Faculty of Engineering, Agriculture and the Department of Process Engineering and Applied Science, Consumaj, and the School of Sustainable Design Engineering of UPEI along with the in-kind contributions from Elsevier.
As a voluntary organization with only a handful of local technical activities, committees and programs, CSBE is providing professional and technical as well as administrative services to all members at large. The quality of the technical program and activities are the direct product of contributions by the participating members and act as a thread that connects and binds the membership-at-large.
Similar to our sister societies, our CSBE society is facing several challenges including shrinking membership, lack of active participation at the local level and other related issues. These are tough times for the society, considering sustainable development. It is high time for us to prioritize and revamp the society activities, for sustainable functioning.
I extend my sincere thanks to all the LAC members of CSBE 2016, for their unwavering contributions and efforts in putting together this upcoming conference. As the society seeks new face for this VP (Technical) position, I would like to thank the chairs and members of the involved committees, technical as well as sponsorship teams for their hard work, dedicated support and their help in running this technical section of the CSBE.
Respectfully submitted,
Suresh Neethirajan, PhD., P.Eng
Last year was quite busy, especially with the Annual Conference in Halifax where a new system for paper submission and registration was implemented and more tasks were transferred to me. I managed the website as usual and I'm now looking for a major version update to ease future maintenance, enhance mobile compatibility, and improve security.
I was involved in the meeting organization at different levels:
A total of 20 newsletters and notices were sent between July 2015 and June 2016 to a list of 605 members. The opening rate increased from 30% last year to nearly 40%. We now use the Mailchimp online service to send mass mail.
For the 3rd year, CSBE used the ElectionBuddy online service for Executive Council elections. With the help of Grant Clark (communication with nominees), the online system was set up and voting tokens sent out to members.
Between June 2015 and June 2016, CSBE website was visited 16617 times (1384 monthly average) with 42000 pages viewed which is 15% more than the previous year (about 14500 visits). An average of 2.55 pages per visit with duration of about 2:15 minutes was met.
The audience was mainly English (70%) and French (8%) and came from Canada (53%), USA (10 %), China (8%), India (3%) and many other countries (Brazil, Germany, UK…).
Main traffic came from organic search (53%), followed by direct access (27%), site referral (18%) and social media (1.2%).
Main pages/sections viewed were the home page, Halifax 2016 portal, Publications, Edmonton 2015 portal, CBE Journal information page, and Join CSBE page.
Visitor browser preferences were Chrome (49%), Safari (16%), Firefox (15%), and Internet Explorer (14%). 82 % of visits were from a desktop/laptop station while 15 % were on mobile (phone and tablet). Mobile access increases from previous years (11% in 2015, 8% in 2014).
Social Medias. About 200 visits were referred from social media (Facebook, LinkedIn, Research Gate…)
My tasks as webmaster are mainly to manage the website, to publish the newsletter, and to assist the CSBE Council and the Conference LAC with online services. That said, I have only limited time to manage our Facebook and LinkedIn account. I would appreciate some help from one of our member who is comfortable with social media management. It's a great opportunity to get involve in the CSBE. The time devoted to this activity is 2 to 3 hours per month. This task involves:
Vice-President (Membership) – Harry Huffman
Another busy year for me but I did manage to participate in most of the CSBE-SCGAB Council meetings via conference call as well as the ASABE Membership Development Committee meeting in December (also via telephone conference call).
We were able to introduce a new membership fee category for international members working in countries with lower income status which began for 2016 memberships.
New membership certificates and a welcoming letter were prepared and distributed in November, 2015 and again in May of 2016 for those people first joining our organization in each of these years. Thank you to our very capable Society Manager, John Feddes for doing all of the paper work.
Any current members who do not have a membership certificate and would like one should contact our Society Manager, John Feddes or myself.
The term of initial membership for students was clarified as being between 5 and 16 months. A membership application made in September at the start of fall school term would run until December 31 of the following calendar year. Any application received between January and August in the current year would only be effective until December 31 of that same year.
Along with Ontario Regional Director, Hugh Fraser, we promoted membership in the CSBE-SCGAB at a careers night held at the University of Guelph in January 2016 and gave out 10 free 1-year student memberships to CSBE/SCGAB as a way to introduce them to our organization.
I was in contact with Mark Crossley, Membership Director of ASABE regarding the possibility of streamlining membership renewal with the use of automatic credit card debiting after email communication with the member. However, ASABE was not receptive to the idea given a number of pit falls that they have discovered with this type of approach. Mark's response was as follows: "We have discussed this in the past, and while it seems easy enough, other organizations that do this have told me it's nothing but trouble. Not only do you have to worry about outdated credit card information (exp dates, security codes, updated card numbers, etc…), there's also the security issue. As it currently stands, we don't retain credit card information (it's encrypted), as it goes through PayPal. While I know PP has been problematic for a lot of Canadian members, we're very close to having an alternative processing system in place for taking CC payments going forward. I'll keep you posted on that. Regards – Mark"
Again this year (2016) our big concern was the large number of members who did not renew their membership for 2016. As of the end of March 2016, 53 members and 118 students had not renewed their membership (total of 426 paid memberships received to date). I requested that the Regional Directors try to make a personal contact with these potential members as I did with all of the unpaid international members to give them a gentle nudge to re-join the fold.
It would appear that the various personal contacts by Regional Directors and the Vice President (Membership) were effective, since the over-all 2016 membership numbers did rebound significantly but are still lower than 2015 final numbers by about 14%. It is likely that we will pick up a few more student members once the fall semester begins but that does not address the decline in the general membership category.
|Number of Members
|December 2013
|692 including 288 students & grad students
|December 2014
|689 including 300 students & grad students
|December 2015
|632 including 265 students & grad students
|May 2016
|541 including 223 students & grad students
I believe that declining membership numbers is an issue that will need to be addressed by the incoming vice president of membership and the rest of council.
Ending on a bright note, we have welcomed 3 new full members, 52 new student members and 10 new graduate student members for 2016.
The University of Manitoba has been hosting the Open Journal System (OJS) free of charge since 2009 to help with the online review process. Over the past six years, I have customized and updated most of the pages in the OJS system to help with the review process of papers submitted to our journal.
The entire collection of past journal papers are now available online and can be accessed here: http://www.csbe-scgab.ca/publications/cbe-journal/browse. The scanned papers were Optical Character Recognition (OCR) processed to enable them to be searched using keywords.
Section Editors have management level access to the Open Journal System (OJS). When papers are submitted to the journal, the Section Editors assign it to three other persons on the Editorial Board to review the paper through the OJS online system. Those assigned the paper can either review the paper themselves or get it reviewed via a personal email to one of their colleagues who are more likely to oblige to review in a timely manner. Each person serving on the Editorial Board is expected to review about 6 to 8 papers in a year. If you are interested in serving on the Editorial Board, please contact the Section Editors who are listed below:
The Section Editors will also serve as the Technical Committee of our Society to help with the evaluation of the conference paper abstracts, formulate Technical Sessions, and solicit worthy papers for submission to the CBE journal. Beginning in 2014, the processing time lines for the accepted papers have been published. To further improve the timeliness of the publication of manuscripts the Council has unanimously voted to approve the following incentive policy:
(a) Reward each reviewer with a credit of $50/manuscript towards page charges of their own manuscripts published in the CBEJ. A credit will be given for a review of acceptable quality and detail, as determined by the Section Editor, received within THREE weeks of assignment of the review. The total credits used by a reviewer towards publication of a single manuscript shall not exceed $100. The credit must be used within two years of being awarded.
(b) Reward each reviewer with a credit of $50/manuscript towards registration in the CSBE-SCGAB Annual Conference. A credit will be given for a review of acceptable quality and detail, as determined by the Section Editor, received within THREE weeks of assignment of the review. The total credits used by a reviewer towards registration at a given conference shall not exceed $100. The credit must be used within two years of being awarded.
In 2012, the Canadian Biosystems Engineering Journal was registered with CrossRef (www.crossref.org) as a member organization allowing the assigning of Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to a paper published in our journal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_object_identifier). I have used the following system to identify our papers. The http://dx.doi.org is the DOI resolving website. The number 10.7451 identifies our journal. Following that, I have used CBE.year.volume.first_page_number as the format to identify each paper. When you type this URL into a web browser, it will take you directly to the .pdf file of the paper. Therefore, please publicize your papers by providing the DOI link of your paper instead of sending the .pdf file of your paper. This will help properly register the access count with the DOI system. By providing the DOI link you can help improve the impact factor of our journal.
I thank all the authors, reviewers, and the Section Editors for their support in making the publication of our journal possible. We need your continued support in a timely manner to make our journal a successful vehicle for disseminating your research.
The annual report for the president "in waiting", aka President-Elect ought to have been a daunting task for all of my predecessors. Actually, my review of past Perspectives seems to suggest that the task might be as recent at Ron Macdonald's turn as President Elect. Our by-laws dictate a number of tasks for the President Elect to fulfill, such as membership to the Nominating Committee and the Bylaws Committee, carry out a forward planning process, and reporting to Council for the Awards Committee.
So, this report will cover the forward planning task associated with the job. Mainly through past experience in various government offices, and my time at Université Laval, time in agricultural equipment manufacturing industry, and some 10 years involvement in grants selection committees (Mechanical Engineering, Discovery Accelerator Supplement, etc…) serving the Natural Science and Engineering Research Council, I came to appreciate the evolution breath of biosystems engineering. The VP membership will assuredly report that our membership is stable, which is good news. What is not so good is that while Biosystems Engineering/Bioresources Engineering/Génie Agro-alimentaire department are churning relatively large number of students, we fail in recruiting them into our Society. This issue is not new; it has been contemplated by my predecessors for a long time.
Few of you recall that my original specialization plan was food engineering, and that my M.Sc. was squarely in that area. How many practicing and recent graduates with food engineering interest do we cater to? I know quite a number, but do we retain them all? Do we "serve" them appropriately? By looking at the Technical program for our AGM 2015, we could conclude: not bad… Now, what do we do for our Environment stream graduates? There again, I know a number, but do we cater to all of the Environment Engineering graduates? And again, the technical program of AGM 2015 does cover that territory. Last winter, I taught a class of 44 Biosystems Engineering students at University of Manitoba; about half of them had in mind Environment Engineering, the other half Biomedical Engineering: I did try my best to tweak the course content to keep their interest, that is quite a department from the original Civil Engineering content in that class. But I unfortunately cannot report that the Society will count 44 new members two years down the road on their account. Recently, a couple students graduating from Biomedical Engineering made it into the Faculty Medicine, and study towards an up and coming new breed of physicians. Not the beginning of a new trend: I reviewed a number of top notch Discovery grant applications for NSERC prepared by M.D. with an engineering degree as backbone to their practice. Will they abandon their Engineering skills once MD's? But how can we offer them something more than a banquet to "chew" on? That is the question.
I used the word "cater" often enough to suggest that the Society is there for the members. My forward planning will focus primarily on building on the work from Qiang, Grant and Bernardo, both in terms of Council membership, technical programs, and promotion of the profession with the engineers we collectively train and mentor, and the Societies that seem to attract them based on focus. This effort will begin with a brainstorm session in parallel with the AGM 2015, and I am specifically inviting department heads, undergraduate program chairs, and interested engineers practicing in Food, Biomedical, Environmental Engineering to come and share their interests, with the objective of making the Society a better care taker of their professional development and needs.
Le rapport annuel du Président "en attente", alias le Président-Elu aura certainement été une tâche ardue pour l'ensemble de mes prédécesseurs. En fait, ma révision des dernières Perspectives suggère que la tâche pourrait avoir à son origine le "tour" de Ron Macdonald à titre de Président-Elu. Nos statuts dictent un certain nombre de tâches pour le Président-Elu, telles que les membres du Comité des candidatures et le Comité des règlements administratifs, mener un processus de planification à long terme et la communication au Conseil pour le Comité des Distinctions.
Ainsi, ce rapport couvre donc la tâche de planification à long terme, qui sera amorcée dès l'AGA 2015. De mes expériences dans divers bureaux du gouvernement, mon temps Université Laval, brefs moment au sein de l'industrie de fabrication de matériel agricole et certaine implication de 10 ans dans les comités de sélection des subventions (comité génie mécanique, Discovery Accelerator supplément, etc...) qui dessert le Conseil de Recherches en Ssciences Naturelles et Génie, j'en suis venu à apprécier l'étendue et l'évolution de l'ingénierie des biosystèmes. Le VP au recrutement vous rapportera que le nombre de membres est stable, ce qui est une bonne nouvelle. Ce qui n'est pas si bon est le rapport entre le nombre croissant de gradués de programmes de Biosystems Engineering/Bioressources Engineering/Génie Agro-alimentaire et nos difficultés à les recruter au sein de notre Association.
Peu d'entre se rappellent que mon champ initial de spécialisation était le génie alimentaire, et que ma maîtrise était carrément dans ce domaine. Combien diplômés pratiquants et récents de programmes de génie alimentaire desservons-nous ? Je connais un certain nombre, mais n'y a-t-il plus? Sont-ils représentés adéquatement dans nos activités et notre Conseil? En regardant le programme technique pour notre Assemblée générale annuelle de 2015, nous pourrions conclure : pas mal... Maintenant, que faisons-nous pour nos diplômés de flux de données d'environnement ? Là encore, j'en reconnais un certain nombre, mais répondons-nous convenablement aux attentes des diplômés de génie de l'environnement ? Et encore une fois, le programme technique de l'AGM 2015 couvre ce territoire. L'hiver dernier, j'ai enseigné une classe de 44 élèves pour le département de Biosystems Engineering à l'Université du Manitoba ; environ la moitié d'entre eux avait à l'esprit le génie environnement après leur graduation, l'autre moitié le génie biomedical: j'ai bien essayé de mon mieux pour peaufiner le contenu du cours pour répondre à leurs intérêts. Toutefois je ne peux malheureusement pas vous déclarer que notre Association comptera 44 nouveaux membres deux ans… Récemment, quelques étudiants diplômés de génie biomédical ont fait leur entrée dans la faculté de médecine à l'Université du Manitoba, pour devenir une nouvelle "sorte" de médecins. Pas le début d'une nouvelle tendance : j'ai évalué plusieurs demandes pour le CRSNG préparées par des docteurs ayant un diplôme d'ingénieur comme épine dorsale de leur champ de pratique médicale. Abandonneront-ils leurs compétences en génie une fois MD? Je ne crois pas, mais la question pour notre Association est " comment pouvons-nous offrir quelque chose de plus « à croquer » qu'un banquet?
Notre Association est là principalement pour ses membres. Ma planification à long terme se concentrera principalement sur s'appuyant sur les travaux de Qiang, Grant et Bernardo, tant en ce qui concerne les nominations et les activités du Conseil, les programmes techniques des prochaines AGA et promotion de la profession avec les ingénieurs que nous formons et encadrons collectivement et les associations vers lesquelles ils gravitent par défaut. Cet effort commencera par une séance de remue-méninges en parallèle avec l'AGA 2015, et j'invite spécifiquement les chefs de département, des directeurs de programme de premier cycle et ingénieurs intéressés pratiquant en alimentaire, biomédical, et le génie de l'environnement à venir partager leurs intérêts, dans le but permettre à notre Association de mieux répondre aux besoins des générations futures d'ingénieurs des biosystèmes.
I became Ontario Regional Director fall 2014 and it has been challenging, fun and interesting. I have participated in most Council and Membership conference calls when able. In my opinion, our relatively small technical organization, with such a diverse and changing membership, two languages, spread over such a huge country, with membership that cannot attend all technical meetings because of distance, cost or time, it is important to find ways to connect with grassroots members. For this reason, for the on-line newsletters of December 2014, March 2015 and June 2015, I randomly called (yes, using that thing called a telephone that seems to be so seldom used anymore) about five Ontario members per newsletter to solicit a little information (about 100 words) about what they were doing, how long they had been a member, and what advice they had for younger members. It was easy and painless, using a short template I sent to them. This has been both interesting for me and also for those I call because I find members are genuinely pleased, but surprised to hear from someone on Council. I plan to continue doing this in the coming year. Check out what members have told us at http://csbe-scgab.ca/
I also participated in a Jobs Fair at the University of Guelph in January 2015. Along with Vice-President Membership, Harry Huffman, we spoke to undergrads about jobs in Agricultural Engineering and opportunities joining CSBE. It was fun event and students were very interested in learning from a couple of grizzled veterans. There were perhaps 30 companies involved and perhaps 100 students attending.
I look forward to the coming year.
This was an extremely busy year for me but I did manage to participate in most of the CSBE-SCGAB Council meetings via conference call as well as the ASABE Membership Development Committee meeting in December and the CSBE Membership Engagement Committee meeting in April (both also via telephone conference calls).
I have reviewed the Bylaws and Procedures Operational Manual regarding "member emeritus" and have recommended some additions to be considered at the annual meeting.
I prepared a welcome letter for new members who joined our organization in 2014 to accompany the Membership Certificate that was prepared by John Feddes and mailed to each new member.
This will be done again this summer for new members joining in 2015. Any others who would like a membership certificate can contact Society Manager, John Feddes or myself.
The term of initial membership for students was clarified as being between 5 and 16 months. A membership application made in September at the start of fall school term would run until December 31 of the following calendar year. Any application received between January and August in the current year would only be effective until December 31 of that same year.
I promoted membership in the CSBE-SCGAB at an engineering meeting hosted by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture & Rural Affairs in October 2014 and again at a careers night held at the University of Guelph in January 2015.
I researched the possibility of adding a sub-category of International Member to recognize the reduced ability of potential members from low income countries to afford the standard international fee to join CSBE-SCGAB and ASABE. A reduced fee schedule, similar to that used by ASABE was approved by Council at our April 15th, 2015 meeting starting for 2016 fees.
Our big concern early this year was the large number of members who did not renew their membership for 2015. As of the end of February 2015, 158 members and 95 students had not renewed their membership. I requested that the Regional Directors try to make a personal contact with these potential members as I did with all of the unpaid international members to give them a gentle nudge to re-join the fold. At the April meeting of Council, I was given approval to send out a letter via email to all unpaid members asking for them to reconsider or failing that a reason for not renewing. I sent out 210 emails to unpaid members on May 1st, 2015 with 9 invalid emails being bounced back to me. Of the potential 201 recipients, I received 14 responses (7%) with 7 not interested in renewing for the following reasons; 4 – no longer relevant to my work, 1 – budget cut at company, 1 – unemployed for 3 years so cannot continue with cost, 1 – retired for 4 years & no longer interested. For the 7 positive replies; 3 – payment processing issues, 3 – just did not get around to it yet, 1 – department no longer covering my membership so will now need to pay myself.
It would appear that the various personal contacts by Regional Directors and the Vice President (Membership) were effective, since the over-all 2015 membership numbers did rebound significantly and are now essentially the same as last year. Not sure why members do not renew in a more timely manner.
Number of Members
September 2013
660 paid including students
May 2014
570 paid including 125 students

Ending on a bright note, we are welcoming 10 brand new members, 30 student members and 19 graduate student members for 2015.
The role of President is sometimes likened to that of ship's captain. The captain is in charge of day to day operations on the vessel. S(he) interprets the directives from the ship's owners, makes decisions about how to implement those directives, and conveys orders to the crew. On the surface, a president's role may seem similar, but in a democratic organization there is a curious difference: the ship's owners are all the members of the organization, including the crew themselves! The president's role in such a society is to try to understand the will of the entire membership and translate those ideas into action. But even the task of understanding and implementing the will of the membership can't be done well by a single person. Just as a captain can't hope to run a ship without a good crew, one person does not comprise an executive committee. Fortunately, the CSBE-SCGAB has an excellent crew on deck and the results are apparent. What follows is evidence of some of the good work of your executive committee. It is an incomplete list in no particular order and I must emphasize that every member of the committee, whether they are mentioned here by name or not, is valued and appreciated.
Our Annual General Meeting and Technical Conference in Edmonton is on the launch pad and ready to rocket skyward! Rick Atkins and his energetic team have toiled diligently to build a great program of technical and social activities. The turbulent and uncertain economy has restricted travel budgets for many of us but, nevertheless, the meeting is shaping up to be a dynamic one. Make sure that you are registered for this flagship event!
The efforts of Editor Sri Ranjan, Associate Editors, Reviewers and Technical Committee in modernizing the operations of the Canadian Biosystems Engineering Journal are paying off. This success is shown by dramatically shorter review and publication times (printed on the articles themselves) and rebounding submission numbers. The online, open-source CBEJ is now well positioned to thrive, especially considering statements by NSERC and other government funding agencies that they will require all publications from research that they support to be freely available to the public.
Vice-Presidents Regional, Fahimeh Yazdanpanah (outgoing) and Chella Vellaichamy (incoming) are working together with the Regional Directors to revitalize the grassroots activities of the society across the country. My vision is to have a small, informal committee in each region that supports local CSBE-SCGAB activities and catalyzes new ones. The committees provide continuity, "corporate memory", and a sustained level of activity and enthusiasm. This revitalization can be a challenging task that requires the engagement of many people at the regional level, and it is progressing more rapidly in some regions than in other. This is a good entrance to the society's activities for members looking to become more involved.
The membership of the CSBE-SCGAB is stable in a time when small, volunteer-run societies everywhere struggle to remain viable. This is due in large part to efforts spearheaded by our conscientious V.P. Membership, Harry Huffman. Membership numbers in the CSBE-SCGAB, as I've written elsewhere, are not for me an end in themselves. They are, however, one piece of evidence of to show that the members value the organization and that they feel engaged in and informed about the society. Harry is instrumental in making sure that this is the case.
Our linkages with sister organizations, particularly the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) and the Engineering Institute of Canada (EIC) are strong and mutually valuable. We should work to cultivate those friendships and we will both strengthen those organizations and enjoy the rewards. Please see my recent report to Council for details about how you can become engaged with those organizations.
I will close this report by appealing once again to you, personally, to invest in your society. You can do this in small ways, as your time allows, by becoming involved with your local committee and Regional Director. You could alternatively choose a bigger role by volunteering on any of a number of committees at the national level, or even standing for election to an executive position. It is up to us to come together to strengthen and reinvent the way that we live and work together. No one else can do this for us as well as we can do it for ourselves, if we only make the effort.
As the Society's Past President, I was involved in a number of things, including serving as Chair of the By-Laws and Nominating Committees, as well as of the Advisory Council of Past Presidents. As such, I convened the Council of Past Presidents last 23 October 2014, which was attended by 5 Past-Presidents, the current President and President-Elect, and our Society Manager. We discussed critical items for the Society from the point of view of each participant, including those initiatives from past terms that may have been lost in transition but still have significant potential value to the Society. As Chair of the By-Laws Committee, I have been compiling throughout the year any needed amendments to the By-Laws that has come up, in particular those pertaining to eligibility to Member Emeritus status as well as those needed to be in compliance with new requirements of the Canada Corporations Act. These proposed By-Laws amendments will be put forward for approval by the general membership at the upcoming AGM. At the same time, I have compiled the changes needed for the Procedures & Operations Manual to keep it up-to-date, particularly those dealing with procedures related to Member Emeritus and the guidelines for Fellows nomination. As part of the tasks of the Nominating Committee, I have worked with the Council to identify positions with term ending this year, and to search for suitable nominees for the impending vacancies. The slate of candidates will be standing for elections which will be held in time for the AGM. Finally, as an ex-officio member of the Awards Committee, I have worked with the committee Chair in evaluating the nominees and selecting the awardees for the various Society Awards to be given out at the upcoming AGM.
The duties of the Society Manager include the following:
As you are aware, CSBE-SCGAB Society and CSBE-SCGAB Foundation offer several awards every year. Please email me for information. Applicants must be a student member of the Society. The Foundation will pay the membership dues for first-time-ever Graduate Students. Email me for information.
The minutes of the 2014 AGM at the Montreal CSBE/SCGAB ASABE conference are posted on our web site
In 2012, the Foundation established a new program. To help our students with their travel to our CSBE-SCGAB Technical Conference and AGM, the CSBE-SCGAB Foundation will pay the fees for base conference registration for the winner(s) of student awards. In addition, the Foundation will provide $100 per student to a maximum of $400 per academic unit (biological/bioresource, biosystems,... eng. programs), to be used to defray the costs of travel and accommodation for attending the conference. The students must be members in good standing of the CSBE-SCGAB in order to be eligible for the awards, fee waivers, and travel support. Eligible academic units (biological/bioresource, biosystems,... eng. programs) are asked to contact the CSBE-SCGAB Foundation (John Feddes) by June 1st of each year, and provide the name, CSBE-SCGAB membership number, and project or thesis title of each winning student who are planning to travel to the conference site. I need a copy of base conference registration receipt for each student who is requesting support. I will issue a cheque to each student at the Edmonton Annual meeting.

Release Date: September 30th 2013
Following the success of 2011's It Happens Quietly, which received widespread critical acclaim and topped jazz charts around the world, the award-winning vocalist Jacqui Dankworth will release new album Live To Love on September 30th 2013.
Whilst It Happens Quietly tipped its hat to the past with interpretations of classic standards, Live To Love offers a change of direction and features a selection of jazz, soul and blues-infused original compositions alongside contemporary covers of songs by Wayne Shorter, Johnny Mercer and Donny Hathaway.
Although known primarily as a jazz singer, Dankworth was described by The Sunday Times as "one of our finest singers, regardless of category" and has collaborated with a diverse array of musicians and groups throughout her career including Marvin Hamlisch, Paloma Faith, Alan and Marilyn Bergman and Chick Corea.
She is also an accomplished actress, having performed leading parts with The Royal Shakespeare Company, The National Theatre and in London West End musicals including Steven Sondheim's Into The Woods.
In addition to four cover songs, Live To Love contains some powerful original material in the form of All Is Quiet, a stark, haunting ballad about human slavery written by Dankworth and bassist Geoff Gascoyne and featuring a guest appearance by The Brodsky Quartet; the album's title track, a laidback, gently affecting song written by Dankworth's husband, pianist Charlie Wood; and a reggae-inflected version of Tomorrow's World, a tune written by Dankworth's late father to which she has added a quirky quantum mechanics-themed lyric.
A deeply personal album, Live To Love draws on Jacqui's thoughts on life and love and charts her continuing growth as a sophisticated singer of a wide spectrum of genres.
Jacqui Dankworth 2013 update – video:
"One of our finest singers, regardless of category" – The Sunday Times
"She exhibits a subtle control of dynamics and a voluptuous tonal richness that seems to make almost any material sound special" – The Guardian

This section covers the following topics:
System properties are system-wide settings that enable you to tailor Content Server to your particular requirements. System properties are set during installation and are generally updated occasionally, or as needed, in contrast to other administration tools, which are used more regularly for maintenance of users and content.
Important:Regardless of which method is used to modify system properties, you must restart Content Server for any configuration changes to take effect.
There are several ways to interact with system properties:
TheAdmin Server enables you to configure a single content server instance . You also can enable and disable system components. The Admin Server can be accessed by using a Web browser and selecting the Administration link.
TheSystem Properties utility enables you to configure a specific content server instance from the system on which the content server instance is deployed. For information on accessing the System Properties utility, see "Running Administration Applications in Standalone Mode".
Most system properties settings correspond to a configuration variable in one of the following configuration files:
It is recommended that you make changes to these files through the Admin Server or System Properties tool to ensure that the settings are entered correctly. While it is possible to edit these files directly using a text editor, it may allow errors to be introduced. See the Oracle Fusion Middleware Idoc Script Reference Guide for more information on configuration variables.
Note:For the System Properties utility to run as a standalone application for a content server instance on Oracle WebLogic Server, additional configuration may be required. See "Configuring System Database Provider for Standalone Mode".
There are many techniques for optimizing the performance of Content Server. One of the types of tuning involves changing default parameters and software settings that affect the core Content Server performance. System optimization and performance tuning is often accomplished by adjusting system settings and configuration variables or tuning resources such as databases and indexes.
For example, as the content in your content server instance increases, you may experience a shortage of available space. In this case, moving the vault, weblayout, and search index directories to another drive with more space can help alleviate storage problems. Moving these directories requires adding entries into the DomainHome/ucm/cs/bin/intradoc.cfg file.
You do not have to log in as the system administrator to access the System Properties application. You only need access to the local computer where the content server is installed.
You can set general options on the System Properties: Options Tab or on the Admin Server: General Configuration Page. You must restart the content server for any configuration changes to take effect.
If you plan to use the Batch Loader utility to update and insert a large number of files on your Content Server system simultaneously, you must create a batch load file. Two of the optional parameters that you can include in your batch load file are primaryOverrideFormat and alternateOverrideFormat. However, these options only work as parameters in the batch load file if you enable the IsOverrideFormat configuration variable. You can set this variable using the System Properties application.
The metadata field named Revision has a default revision number sequence of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so forth. This number increments automatically for each revision of a document.
You can override the Revision default by changing the definition of the revision label. The revision label consists of two parts: a major and minor revision sequence. The Major Revision Label Sequence is the first number or letter and the Minor Revision Label Sequence follows. For example, in the revision sequence 1a, 1b, 1c, 2a, 2b, 2c, 3a, 3b, 3c, and so forth, the numbers 1, 2, 3 are the major revision sequence and a, b, c are the minor revision sequence.
Both the major and minor revision sequences are defined as a range of numbers or letters. The major sequence can have multiple ranges, while the minor sequence can only have one range.
The following are the restrictions on defining the range:
Numbers or letters can be used, but not both. For example, 1-10 is a valid range but A-10 is not a valid range.
Letter ranges can have only one letter. For example, A-Z is a valid range but AA-ZZ is not a valid range.
The following are examples of different revision sequences and how you would define the major and minor revision entries in the config.cfg file.
The revision sequence is A, B, C, D, 1, 2, 3, 4, and so forth.
The revision sequence is 1a, 1b, 1c, 2a, 2b, 2c, 3a, 3b, 3c, and so forth.
To change the default revision sequence manually in the IntradocDir/config/config.cfg file, enter the following name/value pairs:
where range1,range2,range3... and range are the defined range sequence.
The Content Server Chunking function protects large data transfers from transfer failures by dividing data into chunks and transferring one chunk at a time. If a transfer fails, all chunks transferred to the content server before failure are saved, and the transfer can be resumed from the point of failure.
Note:If the client session using the Chunking function is killed, either by timeout or by closing the client browser, the transfer will fail.
You can use the Chunking function with the upload applet.
To enable and configure the Chunking function:
Enable the upload applet or the HTTP provider. See "Configuring General Options".
To enable the upload applet, see "Configuring General Options".
To create an HTTP provider, see "Additional Content Server Security Connections".
Set the following configuration settings in the Additional Configuration Variables box on the Admin Server: General Configuration Page:
DisableHttpUploadChunking=false AppletChunkThreshold=size in bytes AppletChunkSize=size in bytes
The AppletChunkSize setting sets the size of the individual chunks. The AppletChunkThreshold setting sets the minimum file size that will use the Chunking function. Both of these values default to 1M.
To debug the Chunking function, set ChunkedRequestTrace=true.
This setting enables you to view the chunked requests on Admin Server Output Page.
Save the changes.
Restart the content server.
You can set Content Server content security options on the System Properties: Content Security Tab or on the Admin Server: Content Security Page.
You must restart the content server for any configuration changes to take effect.
You can set Content Server Internet options on the System Properties: Internet Tab or on the Admin Server: Internet Configuration Page.
You must restart the content server for any configuration changes to take effect.
Content Server uses an Oracle WebLogic Server data source to communicate with the system relational database where metadata and other information is stored. The Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console must be used to manage the database connection information, therefore JDBC username and password information is not stored in the IntradocDir/config/config.cfg file, and it is not managed through the System Properties utility.
Note:If you set database connection information for Oracle WebLogic Server using the Content Server System Properties utility, the JDBC username and password are encrypted and stored in an unspecified location.
For more information on configuring databases with Content Server, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle Enterprise Content Management Suite.
If you want to use Content Server standalone applications such as System Properties or Batch Loader with a database other than Oracle Database, Oracle provides Fusion Middleware datadirect JDBC drivers for DB2, and MS SQL Server databases. For details, see "Configuring JDBC Database Drivers for Standalone Mode".
An IBM DB2 database does not support the keyword CONTAINS in search queries. The correct configuration of a Content Server instance for IBM DB2 searches requires the addition of the flag
SSUseContains=false on the General Configuration page and a restart of Content Server. To configure IBM DB2 database searches in Content Server:
Open a new browser window, and log in to Content Server as a system administrator (with the sysmanager role).
Under Administration, click Admin Server.
In the option list for the Content Server instance, click General Configuration.
The General Configuration page is displayed.
Add the following line to the Additional Configuration Variables box:
Click Save.
Restart Content Server.
You can set Content Server options on the System Properties: Server Tab. For security reasons, the Admin Server cannot be used to configure these options. You must use the standalone application to configure options. For details about using standalone applications, see "Running Administration Applications in Standalone Mode".
Certain Content Server configuration options are set using Oracle Enterprise Manager Fusion Middleware Control. For details, see Chapter 2, "Using Oracle Fusion Middleware Control to Manage Oracle UCM Content Server".
You must restart the content server for any configuration changes to take effect.
Caution:If you do not use a Hostname filter, IP Address filter, or some other network-based security, you will have a security hole in your content server instance. For example, with no login, any user with in-depth knowledge of the system could create or modify any other user to have sysadmin access.
Hostname filter or IP Address filter values must be set to allow communication with the content server in the following situations:
Running Inbound Refinery and PDF Converter (even on the same physical computer as the content server).
Transferring content server archives between computers.
Configurations where the Web server and the content server are on different systems.
EJB-enhanced operations.
Using the IdcCommand or IdcCommandX utilities on a system separate from the content server. (You will need to change the default value and specify the IP address of the Web server.)
You can use the System Properties Localization tab to change language-specific issues such as date/time format, default time zone, sort order, and default interface language.
The default English-US locale uses two digits to represent the year (yy), where the year is interpreted to be between 1969 and 2068. In other words, 65 is considered to be 2065, not 1965. If you want years before 1969 to be interpreted correctly in the English-US locale, you must change the default date format for that locale to use four digits to represent years (yyyy).
This issue does not apply to the English-UK locale, which already uses four digits for the year.
To modify the default English-US data format:
Start the System Properties applet:
Select Start, then All Programs, then Content Server, then [Instance Name], then Utilities, then System Properties.
The System Properties utility is located in the /bin subdirectory of the Content Server installation directory.
Open the Localization tab.
Select the English-US entry in the list of locales, and click Edit.
The Configure Locale dialog is displayed.
Modify the date format to use four digits for the year (yyyy) rather than two (yy).
After you are done editing, click OK to close the Configure Locale dialog.
Click OK to apply the change and exit System Properties.
Stop and restart the Content Server (otherwise the change will not take effect).
The default interface language for Content Server can be specified in several ways:
Select a default language in the Localization tab of the System Properties utility, using the same basic procedure described in "Date Format".
Use the Content Server navigation portal to selection Administration, then Localization. Select a check box for a default language from the list of Enabled Locales on the Localization Administration page.
You can use the System Properties: Paths Tab to change the location of the help browser, Java classpath, and the shared directory path. For security reasons, the Admin Server cannot be used to configure the path options. You must use the standalone application for this configuration.
You must restart the content server for any configuration changes to take effect.

caron's Yatagan can easily be found online for less than 30$.
Ugly red plastic box.
My husband wears Opus 1870, we both love it.
I recently finished a vintage mini of Givenchy III, I *loved* it. I'd like to try the reissued version to see if I like it as much.
I'm like you, I wear Lincoln Park in the winter, for summer I love OPI Big Apple Red!
Heh, I hadn't noticed that. :huh: Maybe the Editors' Picks and the Upgradients quotient throws the differential off somewhat? ;)
I like lists, I'm glad you all enjoyed the link too. :)
Interesting link! Fun to rate them too...
Pucci Vivara. I'm pretty sure this is the vintage version, the mini bottle is shaped the same as the vintage Vivara bottle.
Jean Patou Colony for me today.
LOL Wordbird I will admit to huffing my own cleavage on occasion. :p
The mailman brought my Balenciaga Le Dix edp, I love it!
The H&R Fragrance Genealogy has this classed as aldehydic, but I'm...
A full wearing of Givenchy III today.
I see Gres Cabaret and Coriandre have already been mentioned, I like the transparent quality these two have. I have a sample of L'Arte di Gucci that is dark and juicy and so sexy, too bad it's been...
Thanks for the birthday wishes! We're having Red Velvet cake today, my favorite.
The mailman just brought my eBay minis, I can't decide if I want to try the Pucci Vivara (vintage) or the Givenchy...
Love the new look, thanks so much!
SOTE is Tabac Blond extrait. Looove this stuff.
Sampling Bvlgari Pour Femme edp.
Hermes 24 Faubourg, Sephora made me a sample last weekend.
This is very nice and ladylike, smells expensive. The bottle is pretty too.
I'm still working my way through a pile of mostly Caron samples swapped with lookingglass. Right now I'm wearing Narcisse Noir edt, very unusual!
I will! I love Jolie Madame so I was intrigued by the reviews for Le Dix mentioning the violet and leather notes. I wonder how they compare?
I also liked the descriptions of the complex drydown, I...
Royal Bain de Caron is my comfort scent at present.
uh oh, I just made another little blind buy from eBay. :o
This time I got Balenciaga Le Dix edp. I hope I like it LOL.
I wore Cabochard yesterday. :)
Sampling Caron Farnesiana edp today.
ooo a vintage Patou! One of my favorite houses. I've got my fingers crossed for you that it is still good.
I think the newest fragrance in my wardrobe is Grès Cabaret (2003). I also like Eau de Cartier (2001).
Really, you've been through my little town? You are right, April in the Texas Hill Country is dazzling, I've never seen anything like it. Blue flowers are so rare, but there are fields of...
Minis of Pucci Vivara and Givenchy III from eBay.
These are blind buys, my New Year's resolution did not last very long, did it! :o
I would probably buy it. :o Especially if it was Colony extrait or Diorling.
Today I'm sampling Anné Pliska, this is very intriguing!
Top notes are Mandarin, Bergamot, Orange
Middle notes Vanilla, Geranium
Base notes Vanilla, Amber, Musk, Patchouli
Happy Birthdays!
Testing Caron Violette Précieuse today. (thanks lookingglass!)
Eau Belle has a certain...astringency? is that the word I'm looking for? that I find very refreshing.
I love it, too. One of my favorite rose scents. It's a shame that the bottle is so kitsch....
Sampling Dior Diorling today, I have only a half vial left. How I wish I could find this somewhere! :sad:
I agree that Gres Cabaret is underrated, I just love it.
Another is Eau Belle d'Azzaro.
Mostly I wear Royal Bain de Caron to bed.
Tabac Blond extrait.
I dabbed some on my wrists hours ago, I still smell wonderful.
Bellodgia extrait today. Wanted to feel warm and spicy.
This happened to me last week, I woke up from a nap smelling Bandit, so bizarre! I hadn't worn it in a while, so it wasn't on my clothes or anything.
Then I went and put some Bandit on, it was...
Champs-Elysées has a mimosa note.
I don't care for mimosa, makes me sneezy LOL.
Balmain de Balmain on this cool rainy day. :brolly:
Jolie Madame.
Sorry I'm late. :o
Saturday I wore Patou Colony, a fruity chypre. We had a warm spell that day, the temps were in the 80s.
In Jan Moran's Fab Fragrances II, she says
top notes - pineapple,...
I wore my beloved Patou Colony yesterday, it's a pineapple/chypre. The pineapple always gets the most attention, but I adore the long-lasting chypre drydown.
This is one of my favorite categories of fragrance.
I like Hermès Eau d'Orange Verte, and while it is true that the citrus vanishes quickly, the base lingers for me.
I recently picked up a...
Jolie Madame, we have lots of errands to run today.
Thanks for the excerpt pluran, I enjoyed that.
I didn't see this thread the first time, I'm a fan of Coriandre too. :) I remember it from the past but Twolf recently sent me a good sample, and now it's on my full bottle wishlist.
oh no Brielle, how tragic!
YSL's Y. Soft, green chypre.
I've read that the top notes include galbanum, gardenia, peach and honeysuckle; heart notes of rose, jasmine, orris, hyacinth, and ylang-ylang; and base notes of...
Coriandre on one wrist, Cabaret on the other. I detect some similar notes between them, but they drydown differently, both are worth owning.
Have you ever read the book, "Fast Food Nation," by Eric Schlosser? There's an interesting passage (p. 129) where the author is at an International Flavors and Fragrances (IFF) factory, and the...
Third testing of Jean Couturier Coriandre. There's a refreshing transparency that appeals to me, this will be wonderful in the summer. It's going on my full bottle wish list.
The rose in this...
: perk: Ooo, thanks for the heads-up, I'm always looking for good summer scents. The Eaux look interesting too, but I haven't yet tried any. Another one I want to try is the Violette Precieuse.
Interesting topic.
I wasn't really into fragrance back when I was pregnant, plus I was a little delicate in the first trimester, (I remember the smell of bacon frying made me heave). After the...
Terracotta Voile d'Ete. I love the chalky note when my body heat warms this.
The lady Tang has most graciously
offered to transfer her prize over to ME!
Though I'm not quite as skilled
I'm enormously thrilled
I'll take it, I'm not proud you see. :p
(check your PMs...
Vintage Ma Griffe parfum.
The galbanum I detect in this make me feel brisk, organized and efficient. It's a good thing too, today I have gotten in over my head and I've begun redoing my mothers...
Limericks are not quite my style
I've done them, but not in a while
Free juice is the prize
so I'll give a few tries
This one's lame, and misses by a mile.
Patou Colony, I need a touch of the tropics on this wet, stormy day. :brolly:
YSL's "Y".
How exciting, I'm envious! I hope you take lots of pictures and report back.
If I were going, I would not want to miss the Guerlain flagship store, the Perfume Bar at Jean Patou, or the urns at...
Jolie Madame edt, tonight I'll layer it with the parfum. Hope everyone has a happy Valentines Day! http://emoticons4u.com/love/643.gif
I've got Royal Bain de Caron on one wrist, and Caron Pour Un Homme on the other.
Y is one of my favorites, I think it is wonderful in the summer, and the drydown is exquisite.
I did not get online to post my SOTD for Tuesday, my husband was home sick with the flu. I was busy waiting on him hand and foot, and making a chicken soup from scratch (He's convinced my chicken...
Congratulations to all! http://emoticons4u.com/party/fest09.gif
I knew only about a dozen at first glance, but I did know those Patou battleship bottles (only because Patou is one of my favorite...
Chanel no. 5, from a set of Chanel minis that arrived from eBay last week.
I couldn't wear this when I was younger, it smelled of ashtrays on me. My college roommate wore it, and we agreed, it was...
Taolady chose Knize Ten for me today, I smell fantastic.
When I read lemonade-hued silk jacket, my first thought was Chanel no. 19.
I hope you have a great time, you are going to look smashing!
Jolie Madame edt, it came in my order yesterday.
I already have a little bottle of the parfum, but I was curious about the edt. I'm glad I got it, so far it's wonderful.
The UPS truck just arrived with my bigdiscount.com order. I've already broken my New Year's resolution of No More Blind Buys :o (I got a pretty bee bottle of Guerlain's Eau Imperiale, I thought...
Interesting, I hadn't thought of it that way.
My thoughts were that the current trends towards clean, fresh and unobtrusive was a result of a backlash from the powerhouse scents of the 1980s. We...
This discussion reminds me of the excerpt from Chandler Burr's Emperor of Scent book, where Luca Turin quoted his landlady who pronounced that, "Caron was for the duchesse, and Guerlain was for...
I thought I remembered seeing this somewhere. Here you go, perfumeworld.net has a page that tracks the bestselling fragrances over several years in several different countries.
Chanel Pour Monsieur Concentree for me today. This is fantastic stuff, I'd like to compare this side by side with the original Pour Monsieur (1955) to see which I like better.
congrats to winners!
dpak, so glad it worked out
fun contest lampboy
What a wonderful uncle you must be!
I don't think I've ever used up a whole bottle, but I have finished several minis, decants and samples.
Congratulations Tovah, and welcome to the world baby Rebecca! http://emoticons4u.com/fam/fam11.gif
The mail carrier brought my Chanel minis, first up is No. 19.
I took a picture. :D
The prettiest bottle I own is a vintage Tabac Blond. It is very heavy and substantial. The Ungaro Diva bottle is gorgeous too, but I have...
LOL you beat me to it.
How about Gres Cabaret ?
oh gosh, I remember Jungle Gardenia too, so strong! :eek:
Did anyone mention Guerlain Jardin de Bagatelle?
I was just reading here (bottom of the article) that Patou keeps its own rose and jasmine fields in Grasse.
YSL's Y, since there was a nice discussion on it.
Haikus are fun. :) Here's a quick haiku to start off.
Lovely green chypre
in a bottle to die for!
Lauren's best effort.
I like Y a lot too. My mini is almost gone, I've got a full bottle sitting in the wishlist basket.
I wore it a lot last summer, I found it very fresh and dry.
I really enjoyed your reviews. I haven't experienced either of those fragrances *hangs head in shame* but Patou 1000 is on my wishlist.
syracusa, if you like Sublime, I wonder if you would...
Yay! Glad I could help. :)
Continuing my animalic streak in vintage Jolie Madame parfum. I love the violet notes in this!
I'm late! But we had a hectic weekend, I didn't get near the computer at all.
I started my animalic weekend Friday night in Bandit edp.
Saturday morning I wore Cabochard edt, the Parfum Gres...
Great list!
I'm not very familiar with this house. My mother wore a little Tresor back in the day, and I like Ô de Lancôme in the summer.
No toolbar? Hmm. Try this.
Open your User CP, then click Edit Options.
All the way down at the bottom at the Message Editor Interface drop box, choose either Standard or Enhanced then save...
Wow. Just Wow! This blue collage is just heavenly tang, great job. And we still have aqua/teal and baby blue collages to look forward to!
Lovely prizes too, good luck to all participating.
I can't decide what I want to wear, I love animalics. http://emoticons4u.com/love/635.gif
Here's a list of older chypre/animalic fragrances I culled from the H&R Fragrance Genealogy chart, hope...
I can help with this one. :) There may be easier ways to do this, but here's how I do it.
First the picture has to be in your computer. Either take a picture or right-click an image, then Save and...
Patou Colony on this blustery, bone-chilling day.
I've never kept stats, this is interesting. It's been a Caron month for me (7x) followed closely by Gres (5x).
3x - Caron Parfum Sacre
Gres Cabochard
2x - YSL - Y
I too tend to wear heavier scents in the winter, in the summer heat they become oppressive and cloying on me.
And Brielle, I also wear Colony year round, I adore it, it is my absolute favorite...
Last night I won an eBay auction for minis of vintage Chanel No. 5, No. 19, and Pour Monsieur. I've been wanting to test Pour Monsieur ever since I read that Michael Edwards said it is the closest...
Mitsouko for me today, it's been a long time since I've worn this.
Patou Sublime. My skin seems to bring out the wonderful sandalwood in this.
I don't know how big a seller it was for Hermès, but Eau des Merveilles smells like it was born in a test tube to me. It's as if not a single molecule has ever been rained on or had the sun shine on...

Why is My Dog Vomiting?

A surprising issue that has arisen in the American political arena is not foreign policy, but rather which breed of dog the Obama's chose to join their family in the White House. Barack Obama has announced that his family narrowed their breed choices to a Labradoodle, a mix between a Labrador retriever and a Poodle, and a Portuguese water dog. Both breeds are large, with curly hair and a mild amount of shedding.
Obama stated in interviews that a limiting factor was his daughter Malia's allergies. They decided on a six month old Portuguese water dog they named Bo. The dog is a gift from Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, who owns several Portuguese water dogs.
Whether a pet's name comes from pop culture, their owner's profession, or is named after a loved one, there are many choices for pets names. The Presidential dog is named "Bo" in reference to singer Bo Diddley. Below are the most popular dog names:

Study identified the dual specificity tyrosine-phosphorylation-regulated kinase 3 (DYRK3) as a protein with the ability to condense P-granule-like speckles in the cytosol and to prevent stress granule dissolution via its N-terminal domain when it is in a kinase-inactive form.
the lipid raft-dependent endocytosis process mediates C. neoformans internalization into HBMEC and the CD44 (show CD44 Proteins) protein of the hosts, cytoskeleton, and intracellular kinase-DYRK3 are involved in this process
DYRK1A (show DYRK1A Proteins) and DYRK3 promote cell survival through phosphorylation and activation of SIRT1 (show SIRT1 Proteins).
DYRK3 has roles in kinase activation, binding to CREB (show CREB1 Proteins), and hematopoietic progenitor cell survival
DYRK3, expression is strong in erythroid cells and testis, but is also detected in adult kidney and liver
DYRK3 dual-specificity kinase attenuates erythropoiesis during anemia
These results indicate that HIF-mediated induction of Insig-2 (show INSIG2 Proteins) and degradation of HMGCR (show HMGCR Proteins) are physiologically relevant events that guard against wasteful oxygen consumption and inappropriate cell growth during hypoxia.
these studies designate sterol-accelerated degradation of HMGCR (show HMGCR Proteins) as a potential therapeutic target for prevention of atherosclerosis and associated cardiovascular disease.
To eludicate the mechanisms underlying statin myotoxicity and HMGCR (show HMGCR Proteins) function in skeletal muscle, we developed the skeletal muscle-specific (show EIF3K Proteins) HMGCR (show HMGCR Proteins) knockout mice.
High-dose simvastatin inhibits HMGCoA reductase (show HMGCR Proteins) and prevents experimental hyperinflation lung injury by angioprotective and anti-inflammatory effects.
TSH can regulate the phosphorylation of HMGCR (show HMGCR Proteins) via AMPK (show PRKAA1 Proteins).
HMGCR (show HMGCR Proteins) proteasomal-degradation by IFN strictly requires the synthesis of endogenous 25-Hydroxycholesterol.
Increased cholesterol synthesis mediated by HMGCoA (show HMGCS2 Proteins)-R under inflammatory stress may be one of the mechanisms for intracellular lipid accumulation and statin resistance.
we consistently observe involvement of gp78 (show AMFR Proteins) in Insig-1 degradation, we find no substantive evidence to support roles for either gp78 (show AMFR Proteins) or TRC8 (show RNF139 Proteins) in the robust sterol-accelerated degradation of HMG-CoA reductase (show HMGCR Proteins).
Hepatocyte HMGCR (show HMGCR Proteins) is essential for the survival of mice, and its abrogation elicits hepatic steatosis with jaundice and hypoglycemia.
This gene product belongs to the DYRK family of dual-specificity protein kinases that catalyze autophosphorylation on serine/threonine and tyrosine residues. The members of this family share structural similarity, however, differ in their substrate specificity, suggesting their involvement in different cellular functions. The encoded protein has been shown to autophosphorylate on tyrosine residue and catalyze phosphorylation of histones H3 and H2B in vitro. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.

text: One of the risk factors of colon cancer is a sedentary lifestyle. Exercise creates a more efficient gastrointestinal system by increasing the amount of circulation and blood flow, which allows the colon to perform at an optimal level. Recent data from the American Cancer Society has found that too much sitting increases the risk of dying from the disease. Exercise can decrease this risk by 28 percent. A study done in 2009 found that people who exercised the most were 24 percent less likely to develop colon cancer than those who exercised the least. Researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Harvard University combined and analyzed data going as far back as 1984. The study suggests that if the American population became more physically active, up to 24 percent, fewer cases of colon cancer would occur each year (Source: ScienceDaily). The protective effect of exercise holds for all types of physical activity, whether it's recreational, such as jogging, biking or swimming, or job related, such as walking, lifting or digging (Source: Natural News). This effect holds true for both men and women. The difference between people who were the most physically active and those who were the least varied. For example, a 2007 study by Kathleen Y. Wolin, a cancer prevention and control expert with the Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University, and colleagues, women who walked the most decreased their risk of colon cancer by 23 percent. The recommended amount of exercise a person should get in order to have an active lifestyle and prevent colon cancer is at least 30 minutes of activity, moderate to high intensity, at least five day a week.posted on February 1, 2013 in news

Media Updates – Sharing New Content and Features
It's been a while since I've taken time to share some of the things I'm doing. Fatherhood has changed the way I work and my ability to focus on "me" is in a bit of flux. Slowly but surely I'm reestablishing my digital presence, getting my creative juices flowing and putting content out into new spaces. It feel's good. I view 2014 as a pivotal year. It was in that year that I covered my largest events, wrote my biggest (at the time) article
Thinking back a bit I view 2014 as a pivotal year. It was in that year that I covered my largest events, wrote my biggest (at the time) article and landed my first client as a consultant. I'm using that year as a reference point for the things that worked for me professionally and how to implement them within my new reality. That's within the social media industry and beyond.
On the writing side of things, I've had a few recent pieces published via Complex. Sports connects to folks on so my levels so it's cool to share thoughts within that space. Here are mentions from my Knicks and Warriors stories.
I'm also looking to bring a new outlook on Fatherhood to the forefront. Classic Daddy narratives often paint us in a position of voiceless, emotionless workers. As more dads are taking on the day-to-day hands-on duties of parenting in addition to work, it needs to be understood and respected that we are just as invested in the lives of our kids as anyone else.
In the last week, I've been featured by a couple of pro daddy platforms. It's all about Max and whatever I need to do to keep him smiling.
Good Afternoon everyone👋😍 Meet @NightFall914 & his handsome son Max. This great guy knows the meaning of happiness. You can clearly see his efforts are well received in the joy his son has. A true man, a great father and positive role model. Let's show him a warm welcome for being such a great Father on his journey as a father. I am proud of you @NightFall914 continue to be the amazing man you are. God has blessed you brother. Congratulations once again!!! Welcome to Fatherhood 👍😎 #FatherRights #DadCaresToo #DailyMessage #DailyInspiration #SingleDadLife4Ever #Daddy #Son #Daughter #Mommy #SingleDadLife #MommyLife #FathersWithoutBorders #ProudFatherOfALittleGirl #ProudParents #Postivevibes #PositiveChanges #SharedMoments #NewParents #FatherHood #ParentHood #Parenting
The other feature was a great Q & A interview with DadofDivas. This is something I really want to build one going forward.
It's a new world for me in many ways but with a new motivation to press forward, I'm excited about the future. Also as I have reached and helped many of my readers, I ask those of you viewing this to please reach back to me if you see something that you think I could a match for. Online features, writing, public speaking. I'm wide open to opportunity.
