Hello Basenoters,
I just wanted to support Grant and the community while getting the best out of the wonderful resources here. Just looking ahead....
@Fragranceman- It was pretty obvious I said nothing to disrespect Grant. Yes, my information is important. My post was in the interest of moving forward- no disrespect, no attacking- just wanting to...
Thank you for your opinions! I have a passion for this and and want to put out my thoughts and am looking for proactive thoughts on what we can do to better the site. Wow!!! Acting like a petulant...
Dear Basenoters,
It is a wonderful place isn't it? I love this community and appreciate everyone's input.
This weekend I had a wedding as well as some other formal settings and would have loved...
I have to give a thumbs down. While I want to like it I find it has no longevity and soon vanishes to nothing.
GREAT QUESTION!!! Start a thread with this! It would be very, very interesting.
I love it. I have a decant and poured some into a 2ml sprayer. This works wonderfully as you only get a small amount on the skin and then wait until it blooms. Amazing, beautiful rose.
Hello Basenoters,
I just found this on a grooming site-
Givenchy Very Irrestible Clothes Spray
Hello Basenoters,
I didn't even know of this fragrance until a few months ago. I know Drakkar Noir of course but I had never heard of this and I wonder if it just wasn't stocked in my part of the...
I agree with Dollars&Scents- excellent scent.
I've found the best lotion for me is a cheap sorbolene lotion. I get it from my local chemist for around $3. Make sure it's unscented- any unscented lotion should help.
I remember having a bottle in 1991. Absolutely gorgeous fragrance!
I too have been thinking about the smell of this in the 90s as I wore Egoiste out the other night. I agree it has 'lost' that...
Yes, I agree with you Hovo. There is a similarity between Edition and the Cacharel PH.
I love the stuff. Masculine and refined IMO. It sells for high prices these days on ebay.
Welcome to Basenotes!
I have the same thing. My skin soaks up fragrances terribly and I find most don't last on me and others can't detect any scent on me. I wear a light and unscented moisturiser...
After reading this thread again this morning I wore Cartier Santos Eau de Sport this afternoon. My father-in-law, sister-in-law and her friend all commented how good I smelled. My sis-in-law's friend...
Antaeus Sport Cologne and Santos Eau de Sport are great sport colognes- full flavoured and not watered down modern versions. Both are not easy to find.
I got a bottle a few weeks back for a low price. I think it would make a nice office scent and great for summer nights. I would wear it with casual dress- The citrus and mint is quite refreshing and...
Great stuff!!!! Enjoy!!!
Hello Basenoters,
I have had a 5ml Dunhill Edition sitting in the back of my collection for ages. I had heard great things about the older Dunhill line and for some reason just never sought them...
Hednic, you have the Delon Eau de Sport? What's the notes if you don't mind me asking and how's longevity?
Hello Basenoters,
Has anyone here tried this fragrance. I can find nothing on it.
In the last few months I've tried Antaeus Sport Cologne and Santos Eau de Sport both of which are truly...
Thank you ladies and gents for these great suggestions. I shall make a note and try them all. This is one of the reasons I love Basenotes- great suggestions from helpful and thoughtful people!!!
Eau Sauvage Fraicheur Cuir is a great fragrance IMO and can be worn anytime. I'm still not 100% on the ES parfum as I need more wearings. The original is a classic of course. Enjoy!!!
Hello Basenoters,
I think I may be entering into that mid-life fragrance journey (as well as my mid-life crisis- Manopause and all) where nothing seems to be exciting me. I love masculines, am a...
I wanted to like this fragrance but after a few wearings I find it bland and cannot detect it myself. I really do not see the appeal in this fragrance at all. I think it's the fact that it just soaks...
Here's one is Australia-
I love this fragrance- strong and masculine...
Yes, still looking. I don't like my chances finding it!
I have an original formula and find it strong- certainly not weak and I feel it projects very well on me.. I have not really worn this before but can now see that this is indeed a classic scent for a...
You just might be too intimidating Renato!!!! ;)
I agree. Ungaro II is a much more interesting and complex fragrance IMO.
Ah, ok. I see what you mean now. Yes, I can see how others may feel that.
This is a hard one for me. I love Egoiste and see it more as an evening fragrance- romantic, dressed in a suit and tie or tux. GG is more versatile IMO and could be worn at work and then in the...
I agree with you Bigsly that it's not a complex scent but 'neither here nor there'? I have to respectfully disagree with you. I think it's a strong and solid fragrance which shows its boldness...
Hello Gents,
I decided to have a full wearing of Dunhill Edition today and am REALLY enjoying it. After 30 mins or so I started to detect wafts of a beautiful white smoke, I guess I would call it,...
Hello Basenoters,
I have not worn this fragrance for a while and going through my wardrobe and seeing it sitting in the back with a little dust gathering I knew I had to take Rochas Lui out again....
Welcome to Basenotes Dizzy!
Davidoff by Davidoff
Jazz Prestige
Cologne pour le soir
It's a good choice. Very nice fragrance IMO and as previously stated it is wonderfully versatile.
In my experience, Ted Lapidus for Men (1978) is the most masculine.
Must de Cartier Essence is a lovely fragrance for a man. I find it 'fizzes' off my skin and has a classy aura about it.
I purchased a bottle of Bergamotto Marino from Strawberrynet the other week for a fantastic $19. This will be wonderful in our hot and humid weather. I recently got a bottle of Andy Warhol which I...
My wife loves Memoir Man on me and other ladies have commented on it as well.
I'm not sure about the price difference- maybe something to do with the price of rose in Lyric perhaps?
I have not seen it in any shops here KPSK. There is a website called discountperfume.net.au but steer clear of this one- it's a scam website and I've been stung there.
Hi PP, I have skin that soaks up fragrances. Nothing really seems to last on me. One exception is Memoir Man and it projects brilliantly for me. IMO it is bottle worthy as it's a fragrance that has...
I would recommend vintage Versace l'Homme but not the more recent.
I have a couple of the vintage bottles and yes, it is a great juice. Masculine with great depth and very sexy.
We have just entered into spring where I live and already the days are warming up. Today will be around 29 degress celsius and in summer add a sticky humidity and in can get unbearable for most...
Centaure by MP&G is a lovely lavender for a man.
Bigsly, The photo is certainly not a bottle of the VIP. While you can still see how full a bottle of the VIP is- the bottle is black.
I love both. Le Troisieme Homme works well for me and I find it classy and I wear it when I want to stand out in the crowd. Nobody wears it here and it has an air of mystery but I need to be in the...
VC&A ph would be my choice as I do not enjoy the recent Antaeus. It lacks the bold richness and depth of the vintage.
Awww, Thanks $&C!!!!! Indeed a wonderful day!
Certainly a 'European' sport cologne. Rich and full not at all a watered down version with more citrus added! If you've had a chance to try the amazing Antaeus sport cologne you'll know what I mean....
Hello Basenoters,
A while back I posted about an elderly gent who I met through a friend who owns some lovely old fragrances. He used to be in the shipping business years ago and has some...
Very interesting Ericrico. I did not think at all that you were knocking my sense of taste at all- No problem. The respect is totally mutual- I admire and respect your writing as well. I will think...
Hi Ericrico,
It is indeed epic! I have been wearing this for the last few weeks now and am constantly amazed by this juice. I love the tobacco accord and the oakmoss-patchouli interplay. Castoreum...
Andron by Jovan was supposed to have pheromones. I do have some and it is actually a very masculine fragrance due to the castoreum base. It could certainly hold its own against any masculine out...
A scent like Antaeus would suit well. IMO Antaeus works well when not over sprayed and left to mix with your own chemistry.
Rochas Lui is also a good masculine with a 'don't mess with me vibe'....
There was a fragrance called Wood Grains Greenwood cologne which was by Max Factor. I saw a bottle on ebay the other day.
I find it a beautiful fragrance- my wife has it and I wear it now and again. I feel confident wearing it and I suppose that's the key here.
Have you tried KL Homme? Now discontinued but pops up on...
Renato- I had the same experience as your good self. The chemist near where I live was selling bottles at a very low price and I tested and was not impressed. I left it and have not tried again. I...
I was lucky enough to pick up a 50ml bottle the other week for an incredible $15! I agree- the best of the line.
My father has oiler skin than me and fragrances last longer and just smell better on him. I'm very jealous!
I got him a decant of Aqua di Cuba and it was amazing on him.
Hello Basenoters,
The other week I received Trussardi Inside Man and while I like it I find it ends rather too quickly for me. My skin soaks up fragrances terribly. My love of coffee and tobacco...
My current top 5-
Ted Lapidus pour homme (1978)
Davidoff by Davidoff
Joint by Roccobarocco
Antaeus Sport Cologne
I found a couple of fragrances rather cheap that I had heard good things about so I snapped them up. I've worn some fragrances that I think are GREAT but my wife doesn't bat an eyelid! So, I put on...
Halston did an EDT version of this as well. It is very rare to find. I have an 8ml mini and have just found another.
The edt is beautiful, along the same lines as Chanel's pour...
So Gents, Back to topic- Does anyone know when the edt of this- not the edc- was discontinued and can you still find the edt anywhere?
I too understand your frustration as my skin soaks up fragrances and it drives me crazy. It has taken me a while to work out how much I need from each fragrance I own. The Goodlife above makes a good...
I'm a little confused about this one. I know the cologne is widely available but the edt formulation which I believe was older cannot be found anymore. Can any of our vintage experts help?
Hello Basenoters,
When was this discontinued?
I have searched high and low for a bottle of the edt (I have a mini) but can find nothing!
Any clues?
Cuir d'Oranger by Miller Harris- this is discontinued me thinks.
That is what I meant- There is definately a tobacco accord in this. Thank you for enlightening me.
Oh but there is!!!!!!!
Ladies and Gents,
I love the eighties. I love the brightness, the hairspray with high hair and the music. Fantastic fragrances of course!
Now, I love masculine fragrances. I love masculines...
Thank you gents. More comments please!
Hello Basenoters,
Over the last month I've spent too much on fragrances. I need to have a break for a bit and enjoy what I have.
Here's what I've bought- some have arrived and others are on...
Thank you Cacio!
I had come across the reference for lilac but wasn't sure with the different spellings if I had the right one.
Hello Basenoters,
Can any of you smart people out there tell me what the plant seringa smells like?
I have a sample of Andy Warhol PH and my wife loves it! So I'm going to get a bottle for...
Ha Ha! I was just thinking the same thing Scentimus! Quite strange.
Hello Gents,
Has anyone tried or heard of this? Totally new to me.
Trussardi launched a new men's fragrance My Land; eternal scent of Italian elegance, power, sophistication and integrity, as...
Hello Basenoters,
I really like the look of the scent pyramid for this one. Watermelon, mint, lime on top with a bit of tobacco in the base.
The reviews have been quite cool on this and what...
I have purchased a lot of ebay. Only one I've bought had turned. It is a gamble but on the whole it has worked for me.
There are accords in the original Xeryus that share great similarities with Derby IMO. However, as Hednic stated, it is quite unique. It stands alone for its quality.
Thank you gents for your input. As always your thoughts are appreciated.
@MonkeyBars- Have you tried Ted Lapidus from 1978? This is a heavy smoky birch tar- I wonder if they are similar?
Hello Basenoters,
I have found a gent through and elderley in-law who has a 125ml bottle of the famed Dunhill Blend 30. It has never been opened. It has sat in his whiskey cabinet at his home with...
I know!!!!!!!!! ;)
Welcome to Basenotes! Here in Australia Envy for Men is still being sold. Check a few sites here and see how the prices are.
My suggestion then would be for Equipage. Classy juice though it took a while to grow on me. Definately look at all of them if you get a chance to get some minis. I've never had trouble on ebay with...
You have some lovely choices there. With the weather being warmer where you are at the moment I would have suggested the Givenchy but if you're tired of fruity scents this rules this one out. Great...
Chanel pour Monsieur Concentree or Tiffany for men- both lovely citrus with smooth drydowns. Class all the way.
Acqua di Parma Colonia- A classic with beautiful citrus and gentle rose that...
I've been trying to find this one for a while now but with no luck. Extremely hard to find!
Giorgio Beverley Hills VIP
Giorgio Armani Eau PH
Hello Ladies and Gents,
I've just seen this fragrance at Strawberrynet and have never heard of it. Has anyone tried it? Thoughts?
Many thanks,
I think either with regards to samples or a single bottle. Maybe mull over it for a little while longer. I have a very good friend who turned 40 last year and I got him a number of samples from The...
I would suggest Dior Homme or Dior Homme Intense. Welcome to Basenotes BTW!!!!
Tenere is one of my favourite discontined fragrances. I love the honey note in it. It should not smell bad at all.
Hello Basenoters,
Has anyone ever used this fragrance? There seems to be no information on it.
Any input would be appreciated,
Some favourites of mine are-
Esencia Loewe
Givenchy Gentleman
Chanel pour Monsieur
Aramis 900
Great guys- Thanks very much!

A vast, arid state on the edge of the Sahara, Niger endured austere military rule for much of its post-independence history and is rated by the UN as one of the world's least-developed nations.
MSF in Niger 2014
The drought-prone country – with a population of just over 18 million – sometimes struggles to feed its people. Its main export, uranium, is prone to price fluctuations and agriculture is threatened by the encroaching desert.
As such, Niger is affected by child malnutrition rates of epidemic proportions – peaking during the 'hunger gap', a period between harvests in May and September when household food stocks become depleted and are insufficient to meet nutritional needs.
The hunger gap coincides with the rainy season and a proliferation of malaria-transmitting mosquitoes, a lethal combination for young children: a malnourished child is more vulnerable to diseases such as malaria and a sick child is more likely to become malnourished.
Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) first worked in Niger in 1985.
Hear from our teams in Niger: read the MSF blog
Patient story
Issa Kadri, Doney's village chief, who helped to organise the Mamans Lumieres (mothers of light) project, empowering women to cook nutritious food in Doney. In the programme, families take responsibility for improving the nutritional condition of children who are at risk of suffering acute malnutrition.
"There are fewer and fewer children suffering serious malnutrition. Before, our women travelled many kilometres to take their sick children to Madaoua, and they would even have to sell their seed reserves to cover their transport costs. Things have changed now thanks to this programme.
"This strategy has allowed our women to come together to control their own fate and that of our children. The strategy is easy in practice, because it adapts to our reality."
Staff story
Côme Niyomgabo, 40, an MSF project coordinator from Burundi, who worked to reduce child mortality in Bouza, in the Tahoua region in Niger.
"We have just lived through the most difficult time of the year: the 'hunger gap' and a high prevalence of malaria due to the rainy season. The time interval between June and October is a critical period for young children. Since the beginning of November, the number of children being admitted has decreased: the most difficult period is about to end.
"However, it is a chronic crisis coming back year after year after year, which is the reason why we are already getting ready for the next peak. Based on our experience, we know that anticipation is an important factor; we need a well-trained team ready to intervene.
"In Bouza, a very rural area, the lack of qualified human resources poses a real challenge, as does access to health facilities. Villages are often remote and during the rainy season roads are usually impracticable."
MSF's work in Niger: 2014
In 2014, MSF continued to improve and expand integrated health programmes to reduce child suffering and death in Niger.
Zinda region
In 2014, MSF continued a programme of medical and nutritional care for children under the age of five in Magaria, Zinder. More than 65,000 children were targeted for Plumpy'Doz (supplementary food) distributions.
Maradi region
In the Maradi region, we work in Madarounfa and Guidan Roumdji. In 2014, we:
- Screened 137,000 children for malnutrition and admitted 14,500 for treatment
- Provided 54,400 vaccinations
- Treated 125,800 children in outpatient facilities and admitted 10,000 for treatment
- Treated 9,300 paediatric cases of malaria and provided seasonal malaria chemoprevention to over 67,000 children between three and 59 months
- Distributed 7,850 mosquito nets.
Tahoua region
In the Tahoua region, we work in Madaoua district and Bouza district. In 2014, we:
- Treated 237,000 children during our seasonal malaria chemoprevention campaign
- Admitted 4,800 children into inpatient programmes for acute malnutrition and treated 13,660 as outpatients
- Provided 2,000 psychological consultations, supporting mothers and children to ensure healthy development and recovery from malnutrition
- Began working with children with HIV and tuberculosis and trained hospital staff on HIV with the aim of reducing stigmatisation
Helping refugees from Nigeria
The violent activity of Boko haram in Borno state, Nigeria, caused people to flee their villages and cross into neighbouring countries, including the Diffa region of southeastern Niger.
Responding to the influx of refugees, mainly women, children and elderly people, we began supporting health centres in N'Garwa and Gueskerou at the beginning of December, providing free access to healthcare and distributing relief kits to new arrivals.
Cholera outbreak
In September of 2014, we treated 1,000 patietns for cholera in Tamaske, Madaoua, Bouza, Tahoua, Maradi and Madarounfa with the help of the Ministry of Health.
Find out more in our 2014 International Activity Report.
At the end of 2014, MSF had 1,886 staff working in Niger. MSF first worked in the country in 1985.

Father John Misty on stand-up comedy and his Halloween costume
Photo by Emma Garr
Will the real Josh Tillman please stand up? Artists are constantly evolving with new albums, but some give up their personas altogether. Josh Tillman, formerly of Fleet Foxes and J. Tillman, and currently performing under Father John Misty, is of the latter. Father John Misty manifested from Josh getting into his van "with enough mushrooms to choke a horse and started driving down the coast with nowhere to go." After a few weeks on this journey, Tillman started writing a novel, and it was also where he finally found his narrative voice.
The singer sat down with Gimme Noise, after he helped sell out a show as an opener at the Varsity Theater, and spoke about his transition into the next part of his musical career.
Gimme Noise: When you started writing for Father John Misty, did you have a goal, or did your musical voice become clearer as you were writing?
Josh Tillman: Well, I guess I reached some impasse where I realized I couldn't do what I'd been doing anymore. My initial impulse was to think I couldn't play music anymore or that songwriting couldn't meet what I needed. I had been stuck in a specific aesthetic or set parameters creatively.
GN: Did you feel you were creatively exhausted?
JT: Well, no. Essentially I had these artistic parameters that I had set when I was twenty, and I had tried writing music within those parameters for so long that I eventually thought those were the breadth and depth of my world -- my creative world. That's a dangerous place to get to: when you think you know everything that you're capable of. I got very sick of that world, of that creative perspective, so when I decided to leave the atmosphere, I started writing that book in the album. It was in the process of doing this certain writing that I realized I had quarantined myself to a small portion of my mind or my inspiration or anything. It was a while before I started writing songs again, but when I started writing again, I realized they didn't resemble the J. Tillman music or anything I had done before. It was like pissing on my own grave or something, and that was very exciting. It felt wrong. It just felt totally bizarre. I don't know. That excitement was what propelled all the rest of the songwriting along.
GN: Did it feel liberating to try something new?
JT: Yeah, you know, trying something new is always one of two things: it's either liberating or feels like a complete failure. For me, the prospect that it could be a complete failure was sort of exciting in itself.
GN: That lack of fear makes you not afraid to try new things.
JT: Yeah, there's a lot of new things that would not be exciting for me to try, but this music was a natural by-product of a larger moment of realization about myself.
GN: You released your album Fear Fun a few days before your 31st birthday. Was it a rebirth for you? Musically and in real life?
JT: It wasn't really a rebirth. It's more like when you decide to become a songwriter at whatever age, for me it was when I was around 19, when I decided I was going to play music instead of going to school or getting a real job or anything like that. You start to develop a persona. At that age -- at least for me -- I assumed that none of the things that came to me naturally had any innate creative value, and so you curate the parts of yourself you think you can get away with showing people while still maintaining your dignity. I did that for ten years. The longer I played the music, the more I realized this growing disparity between J. Tillman and his music of despair and Josh Tillman the human being, who was maybe a lot more interesting. At some point, I wanted to put the Josh Tillman that I know into my music as opposed to the self-loathing that makes you create some alter-ego. It's not so much a new person. It's an ability to musically have access to the real person. By doing that you have to reveal a lot. For me, really expressing myself musically means that I have to include my desires, my self-destruction, and all of these things that are very tricky. Yet, to do it with dignity, that's really more of what it is. It's more the old person that's in the music.
GN: I was at your last Minneapolis show when you opened for Youth Lagoon at the Varsity, and what I found particularly entertaining was you spoke almost between every song and you involved your humor into the show. I think people might be surprised at how funny you are. Did you involve that into your shows before Father John Misty?
JT: I have the same sensibilities I had then that I have now. A big moment of realization for me as an artist was playing these J. Tillman shows, in between songs, I would banter and tell stories and joke around. People would be laughing and really engaged, and when I went back to playing my "doom" music, I would notice their eyes glaze back over. That was a very sobering realization that I was far better at engaging people and communicating my truth through that mode. I don't want to be a stand-up comedian, so how do I reconcile these two very polarized elements about myself? I think that you do hear that in this new music. A lot of the album is about reconciling these things that don't seem to be related. Even the album title, that's a very uneasy juxtaposition of words. It's a
Photo by Emma Garr
GN: Are people often surprised of this other side of your personality when they meet you for the first time?
JT: They certainly were when I was doing the J. Tillman thing, because I think they expected a much different person than they would end up meeting. A lot of people would explicitly say, "I didn't expect you to be so funny." For me I think it was, if you have this ability, you're obligated creatively. If this music was really about honesty and truth, then I was obligated to include that, but I was really afraid of doing that, because I know how people marginalize humor. Generally people assume that if you're funny -- and this is something that all comedians struggle with -- is that everybody expects them to be funny all of the time. I don't want to be obliged to that -- at all. That's a new obstacle that I have to traverse now. I'm not just some clown, but I don't care as much now anymore. When I was younger and really wanted to be taken more seriously and respected, I just knew if I'm telling jokes and stuff, people are going to assume I'm a joke. Or people are going to assume I don't care about what I do and that I don't take it seriously.
GN: Do you feel that you don't need that validation now that you're older?
JT: Yeah, that's every much the case. You learn to let things go. It's less fear.
GN: Does the album title have anything to do with that?
JT: Oh, yeah, absolutely. In some ways, I am poking fun at myself.
GN: How did you come to working with Jonathon Wilson on this project?
JT: He and I met through mutual friends a couple of weeks after I moved to Los Angeles. We became friends, and he had this studio where I was hanging out anyways, so we started working together. I had all of these demos that were the songs on Fear Fun, and one night I was over there, and I played them all for him, and he really loved them. We decided to make an album, but even at that point, I just thought it would be another J. Tillman album. I didn't really have any big expectations for it or anything. I really like recording, but once we really started to get in there, I realized this is a completely different animal than anything I've done recently.
GN: Was it an epiphany?
JT: There was not as great as the creative epiphany that led to the novel or anything, but there was an epiphany that was, "Ok, you're on a completely different trip now."
GN: Are there any songs that you connect with more than others?
JT: No, I wrote about thirty songs in that period, and I'd say that the twelve that are on the album are songs that I really -- even the question of "Do I connect with them?" is problematic. They were all things I wanted to express in one big group.
GN: Let me me rephrase the question then, are there songs that you like performing more than others?
JT: Let's see. I really like performing "Writing a Novel," and I really like performing "Every Man Needs a Companion." Those are songs that I can inhabit every night. There are songs that maybe since I've written them that are a little more inhospitable. Those two are ones that will always welcome me with open arms.
GN: Do you usually perform without an instrument?
JT: This is the first time I've ever gotten onstage without something in my hands.
GN: How does that feel?
JT: I love it. I love just engaging, and I like moving around. When I talk, I gesture. I have very frenetic hands. When I'm onstage and kind of dancing and shimmying and all that shit, it's sort of a natural extension of my tendency to gesture wildly when I talk.
GN: Was it a conscious decision to not play an instrument onstage?
JT: Yeah, the decision not to play anything was an explicit, conscious decision. I just said, "I'm just gonna sing and dance." I didn't realize the dancing would be such a "thing" until Letterman. (laughs) We hadn't really played many live shows before we got there. We were doing the rehearsals; I'm just dancing and moving around, and I think it was halfway through the second run-through of the song where I realized, "Oh, ok, this is going to be a 'thing.' This is the way I'm going to do this. What have I got myself into?" It's very honest, and it really is my way of communicating.
GN: I enjoyed it. With singer/songwriters, you don't usually see that. They have their guitar, or they're behind some other instrument. It's interesting to see that type of expression.
JT: A big part of this album was about me killing, or murdering, the song. I don't totally relate to that archetype of being sensitive/confessional/precious songwriter thing. Like we were saying before, I have too much of a sense of humor for that. I have too much self-awareness. The big part of not doing J. Tillman anymore was having that moment of radical honesty with myself where I said, "You're just not that dude." I write a lot of these songs on an acoustic guitar, but I'm not a guitarist. I'm something else. I'm more of a circus barker.
GN: Where do you see your project headed in the future?
JT: Headed to a point where I know exactly what I'm doing, and I get totally depressed by that and blow up and start all over again.
GN: It's always good to recreate yourself.
JT: Humans are very malleable. I think we're meant for more of that than I think the culture would necessarily imply.
GN: For sure. I remember how in senior year of high school, teachers and guidance counselors would make students pick out what they want to be for the rest of their lives. It's scary that we stay within those means.
JT: We get it drilled into our heads that life is some kind of marathon race that you have run, that success is maintaining some level of work stability your whole life. I also remember those teachers and guidance counselors. I was like, "Why don't you just fucking put me in prison?" That doesn't make sense to me.
GN: Very true; we are constantly changing. You talk about success. How do you define success?
JT: Success to me is survival -- and not survival in the material sense -- but survival in a creative sense where you can set the precedent to keep creating.
GN: I'm always interested to hear what people say to that question, because it could mean different things to different people. To some, it may mean having a family, to others it may mean doing what they want to do.
JT: Yeah, it's funny. Especially with music, it's getting a bunch of money, and ultimately, not having to do the music anymore or not having to put anything in your music anymore. Knowing that whatever you make, people are just going to buy it, and it's going to be fine, and you're going to be able to keep your house. What I really mean is, it's not in the material sense, it's whatever it takes to stay in that place where you can live with yourself and examine yourself and continue to create from that place.
GN: Your next show in Minneapolis is on Halloween. Do you have anything crazy planned? Any crazy costumes?
JT: I'm just gonna buy a Jesus costume and go as J. Tillman -- or maybe I'll go as J. Tillman of Fleet Foxes.
Father John Misty will perform at the Fine Line Music Cafe on Wednesday, October 31, 2012 with LA Sera and JEFFERTITTI's NILE. 18+, $15, 7:30 p.m. Purchase tickets here.

Our Man in Havanaby Graham Greene
View All Available Formats & Editions
Mr. Wormold, a vacuum cleaner salesman in a city of powercuts, becomes a spy to earn extra income.
Editorial Reviews
As comical, satirical, atmospherical an ÆentertainmentÆ as he has given us. (The Daily Telegraph, London)
Greene's vintage "entertainment" deftly satirizes the whole genre, exposing the essential absurdity of tradecraft in the form of vacuum cleaner salesman James Wormold, whom British Intelligence unwittingly recruits as an agent in Havana. Wormold's hapless attempts to pass off invented knowledge—including the blueprints for one of his prized vacuums as a potential atomic weapon—provide laughs before reaching a mournful climax.

What People are saying about this
As comical, satirical, atmospherical an "entertainment" as he has given us. (The Daily Telegraph, London)
Meet the Author
Graham Greene (1904-1991), whose long life nearly spanned the length of the twentieth century, was one of its greatest novelists. Educated at Berkhamsted School and Balliol College, Oxford, he started his career as a sub-editor of the London Times. He began to attract notice as a novelist with his fourth book, Orient Express, in 1932. In 1935, he trekked across northern Liberia, his first experience in Africa, told in A Journey Without Maps (1936). He converted to Catholicism in 1926, an edifying decision, and reported on religious persecution in Mexico in 1938 in The Lawless Roads, which served as a background for his famous The Power and the Glory, one of several "Catholic" novels (Brighton Rock, The Heart of the Matter, The End of the Affair). During the war he worked for the British secret service in Sierra Leone; afterward, he began wide-ranging travels as a journalist, which were reflected in novels such as The Quiet American, Our Man in Havana, The Comedians, Travels with My Aunt, The Honorary Consul, The Human Factor, Monsignor Quixote, and The Captain and the Enemy. As well as his many novels, Graham Greene wrote several collections of short stories, four travel books, six plays, two books of autobiography, A Sort of Life and Ways of Escape, two biographies, and four books for children. He also contributed hundreds of essays and film and book reviews to The Spectator and other journals, many of which appear in the late collection Reflections. Most of his novels have been filmed, including The Third Man, which the author first wrote as a film treatment. Graham Greene was named Companion of Honour and received the Order of Merit among numerous other awards.
Christopher Hitchens is a widely published polemicist and frequent radio and TV commentator. He is the author of many books, including Why Orwell Matters, Letters to a Young Contrarian, The Trial of Henry Kissinger, as well as books on Cyprus, Kurdistan and Palestine, including Blaming the Victims coedited with Edward Said. He is a contributing editor to Vanity Fair and writes for, among others, Slate, The Atlantic Monthly, The New York Times Book Review, and The Washington Post. He lives with his family in Washington, D.C.

This Is Your Chance To Finally Have Access To Some Of Our Most Amazing Collection Of Reports, Videos, Audios, Ebooks, "Cheat Sheets", Also Deepest Discounts On Event Tickets, And Products To Help You Achieve Extraordinary Success Faster!
You're Not Alone!
Millions across our nation wonder what those "lucky" 2% know that they don't, those "secrets" that have made them so wildly successful and see ALL their dreams come true. How would you like to have that INSIDER knowledge? Step inside the secret vault and discover the key!
No matter what you do, does this sound like YOUR life? Do you…
You're probably wondering why you're trapped on that "one step forward, two steps back" treadmill? Where can you find an escape? Tired of just running in place? Want to actually get somewhere? Look carefully at the world around you and you'll find proof of this daily grind, treadmill mentality – failed economy, runaway debt, political dissention, families in crisis, rampant outbreaks of conflict and hatred. All of these things point to a single cause: failure! Failure in our businesses, jobs, relationships, governments, schools and families… it's everywhere. So, what's the answer?
If you're reading this, it's a good bet you are smart enough to know you won't get somewhere different if you're following the same path or expect to change the scenery of your life by sitting in your living room recliner. Or to surround yourself with the influence of successful, positive people, if you're running in the same circles. It's not until you're willing to take that step OFF the treadmill and move in a new direction that change can take place!
You Can't Expect Different Results By Doing The Same Things… Imagine Knowing The Secrets Of Millionaires!
You've probably scratched your head in frustration, trying to figure out the route to greater profits in your business, or maybe for a way to get a promotion in your current position or even for a complete change in career altogether. You may be desperate to find hope for a hopeless relationship, or could very well be up to your eyeballs in frustration with your kids.
And likely you've found there are more "Gurus" and "Solutions" available than there are seconds in the day. And they all promise to reverse the direction of this "going nowhere" path. But I don't have to be the one to tell you that most of these simply don't work (but you already know that!) and you find yourself right back on that same course to nowhere. And many of these so-called "Experts" don't even know they are supplying the faulty roadmaps, simply tour-guides to yet another failure.
And whether it's time, money, energy or all three – your resources are limited and valuable and throwing any of these away just isn't an option. No matter what it is, one thing is certain: You need a fool-proof route. You need it now. For cheap. With results.
But if you don't know it, you don't know it, and no matter how hard you try or how much you work, you won't be able to arrive at a different destination in your life.
You Can Change The Course Of Your Life… But You Need to Act Fast
The truth is anybody can reach the success they want, but sadly, most people haven't been exposed to the simple, time-tested directions that allows them to chart a new course, let alone protect them against future poor navigation. If this is you, it's not your fault. From the 'Gurus' to big Corporations, we've been systematically misdirected in their great attempt to suck our resources and send us down dead end paths that just leave us stuck in the mud, once again going nowhere.
Believe it or not, there's this crazy notion that successful people are just lucky . But, that's not really true; it doesn't have to do with luck. Or hard work for that matter. Millions of people work like dogs, day-in and day-out and nothing changes. In fact, life often goes from bad to worse for some of the hardest workers out there. They just don't have access to the Insider's secret roadmap to success.
It's hard to know who to trust or even how to trust today. Wouldn't it be amazing to have a compass that always points you to a "true north" on your path? This is where the time-tested treasure map comes in – you don't need the latest and greatest method for success. You need what's been proven; what works; what has always worked. In any area of life.
Unlock the Secret Vault and Claim The Treasure You Deserve!
Everyone searching for great treasures needs an accurate, direct map to guide you to what you want. And, believe it or not, you already possess the most valuable tool you need for this journey. In fact, you're using it right now…your mind! Your mind is beyond powerful and will absorb whatever you surround yourself with; especially what you focus on… or don't focus on. This is true in every area of life, from your job to relationships to hobbies and skills.
You Have The Combination To Open Open Up A New World… You Just Have To Claim It!
The difference between another year of trudging along the the same-old path of frustration, failure and disappointment and a new year full of purpose, excitement and reaching your real and strategic goals and dreams over and over again, is what you feed on RIGHT NOW.
You may feel entrenched and hopeless; none of that matters. The power of focusing on the proper route to change your circumstances will bring you exactly what you need to get out of the trench, find hope and see results.
Don't Settle For Mediocrity
Everyone likes to be comfortable, it's only natural. But the path the majority of us follows, leads straight to the sacrifice of our future and our children's futures. Instead of derailing the problems destroying your life, you look for distractions and hope the problem doesn't get grow larger. This is mediocrity at its worst and it's killing your chances of success. Take a moment, listen to that voice in your head… is it sending you on a detour of deception?
How many times have these 'road blocks' fought their way into your head?
- "It's great for someone else, but it's just not for me…"
- "Finding success is simply too hard for me…"
- "I'm swamped as it is and don't have any extra time…"
- "I can't afford to invest in myself right now, I have bills to pay…"
- "The way things are isn't so bad – I don't have to have a vacation, raise or free time, but…"
- "It's always been this way, it always will be…"
- "No one in my family is successful, it's just not in my genes…"
- "I tried that before and it didn't work…"
- "I'm not smart or talented like those successful people…"
- "My situation is different; it won't work…"
The old adage "Who you spend time with is who you become" isn't just a phrase, it's a reality, and these "Insiders" are who you want to spend your time with as your travelling companions!
Recognizing the road blocks is one thing. Reversing the effects and course in your life is another. Permanently rerouting your belief around those detours is yet another. Without the understanding, strategy and practical methodology from someone who has the success you admire (and of course desire), wherever you may be, you will probably gain a bit more knowledge but end up with no difference in results.

This expensive monograph on a single neurologic sign will hardly interest any one besides the clinical neurologist. The expense of the book is no doubt largely due to the illustrations. The value and necessity perhaps of using the primates in the prosecution of neurologic studies of human significance is emphasized. The authors furthermore have "attempted a systematic comparison of human reflexes, normal and pathological, with the corresponding reactions in representatives below man." In this experimental study, monkeys, baboons, gibbons and chimpanzees were used. These studies showed "that destruction of pyramidal pathways in lower primates such as the macaque and mangabey does not cause Babinski's sign to appear; in intermediate primates such as the baboon the plantar reflex is altered on destruction of the pyramidal pathways, and in the highest forms, including the chimpanzee and man, a small cortical lesion restricted to the motor representation of the lower extremity gives rise

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Oct 01st, 1997
Running Time: 92
Director: Roy Alexandre
Company: Roy Alexandre
Distribution Companies: All Good Video
Cast: John West, Anna Amore, Johnni Black, Bridgette Belle, Nici Sterling, Raven McCall, Wilde Oscar, Jake Steed
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
Psychologist Nici Sterling struggles with the problems of her uninhibited clients and her own sexual curiosity. As a drama, Alexandre's script and directorial touch is light as a Viking mallet, yet Perverse Obsessions really delivers the goods on half its promise: the obsessive part. There's nothing particularly perverse about the tame bondage scenario, but many of the encounters are worth checking out.
John West's entanglement with Johnni Black appears to be a snooze until Jake Steed's arrival; his presence sets off a chain of passion which spurs Johnni to open wide for a painful-looking d.p. and hue-gooey facial.
Bridgette Belle, looking zesty and fresh, takes on Alex Sanders in a decent session which says much for physical therapy, particularly when he greases her undeniably cute cookie with his manly Miracle Whip. And the umpteenth teaming of Wilde Oscar and Nice Sterling never ceases to satisfy, especially when a bit of pant fetish is tossed in before the inevitable anal 'n' facial action.

Viewer Comments: Colonoscopy - Describe Your Experience
Patient Comments & Reviews
The eMedicineHealth doctors ask about Colonoscopy:
Comment from: Stayin' healthy, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: July 05
I scheduled a colonoscopy as a "birthday present" because I'm over 50. I have no symptoms or family history of colon cancer. My experience was best case, I'd guess. I had to fast the day prior and at 5pm drink a prescription laxative called MoviPrep.I didn't like the taste, but it was tolerable. Then I had to drink it again five hours before the procedure the next morning. I suggest picking up a 6-pack - of toilet paper - when you pick up the laxative, and stay close to the bathroom. When I got the sedation IV I tried to stay awake, but I mostly slept through the whole thing. I did feel some pain and spoke up, and then I was given more pain medication which took care of it. I remember very little, so it's good that my ride was listening when I got post-procedure instructions. No post-procedure pain or gas at all. I did have 3 "low risk pre-cancerous polyps" removed, so I'm grateful I didn't put it off another year. Also, my insurance deductible was met fairly early this year, so my out of pocket cost for this pricey procedure was small.
Comment from: Music, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: June 19
This procedure was a non-event. Even the prep was no big deal. You will have liquid stools once you start the prep until the next morning. They had me take Miralax with 64 ounces of Gatorade along with a couple of Dulcolax tablets. I was a bit nervous as most people are first time. Bottom line: they put me under with Propofol and I did not feel a thing. The anesthesiologist said he was going to start the IV and the next thing I remember was I woke up in recovery. Passed a lot of gas, had some Juice and went home. My family has no history of colon popups or cancer so this was just preventative. For anyone worried about this procedure don't be. Just do it.

Had my first colonoscopy a week ago at 50 years old. Not a problem at all. The light sedation was the same type when I had my wisdom teeth out a few years ago. At some point in both procedures I recall briefly being in pain but its was only like remembering a dream. For the colonoscopy it was when the scope was going around a corner. I remember the doc pushing around on my belly to help the scope around the corner when I moaned out loud. But no big deal, one moment they're wheeling you into the room and then you wake up. The magnesium citrate prep wasn't bad either. It tastes like some really tart lemon-lime soda mixed with Alka-Seltzer. I had no problems drinking it other than feeling bloated from drinking a lot of fluids. They did find a large polyp that turned out to be benign. If you need one, do it, it's really nothing to get wound up about.
Comment from: SandyC, 65-74 Female (Caregiver) Published: January 24
When my husband turned 65 and went on Medicare, he had his first colonoscopy. The "cleaning out" part wasn't fun for him but not awful and the procedure itself went very easily for him. They found a few polyps, removed them and biopsied them - all benign. They wanted him back in six months for another colonoscopy, just to make sure everything was OK. Second procedure, he was over anesthetized and was out of it for quite a long time. Then, six months later, they again did the procedure, just to "check". I told his doctor about the anesthesia problem, and this time they did it right, BUT - he has had blood in his bowels ever since. He just told me they called to schedule him for yet a fourth colonoscopy. I told my husband over my dead body.
Comment from: Joan, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: October 17
I had my third colonoscopy since 1999, so I was not concerned. I was hooked up to an IV and blood pressure monitor. Then went in to the procedure room and was hooked up to oxygen. Then the scope was inserted and the pain was unbearable from the beginning. I begged to be put to sleep but to no avail. The doctor had a nurse hold me down and it was horrible. I was asleep for the first two. The doctor found a polyp and removed it and the pain was unbearable. The doctor here in Toronto is a good doctor but I have no idea why he would not sedate me. Maybe another doctor reading this can give an opinion. I have had five previous abdominal procedures including two C-sections, an appendectomy and a gall bladder operation.
Comment from: mchaves, 25-34 Male (Patient) Published: August 08
I had a Colonoscopy a few hours ago. Fortunately, it turned out to be diverticulosis and nothing more severe. The prep is by far the least pleasant part of this process, given the amount of clear liquids and water needed to consume, numerous laxative-induced trips to the toilet, and a bit of hunger due to the lack of solid foods. The procedure was not painful at all. I was sedated enough that I could not recall anything past entering the OR. Before I knew it, I was in the recovery room waking up to a friendly staff of nurses. I would do it again without hesitation if needed.
Comment from: Cath, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: April 11
I had my first colonoscopy 2 days ago. I chose to do it without sedation. The doctor wasn't happy, but we agreed that they would put in a port, and if I was in distress they would knock me out. There was some pain but I did some deep breathing and it passed quickly. Honestly, I've had gas pains worse than that. I'm glad I chose not to be sedated because I was in and out in 20 minutes, and was able to resume my normal activities immediately. The most difficult part was not being able to eat seeds or nuts for several days. I had to take Kleen-prep the night before. It tastes lousy, but it's not undrinkable. I had to take one gallon in total and it started acting in 45 minutes. You get the runs but not the urgent kind with the cramping, like you get after you've eaten something that disagreed with you. You know you need to go, so you walk (not run) to the washroom and get it done. Results were good, no polyps and I need to do it again in 5 years. Would rather not have to do it at all for obvious reasons, but it's worth it to know there's nothing untoward going on in there.

I am reading the book Computational Complexity: A Modern Approach and I am having problems understanding oblivious Turing machines.
An oblivious Turing machine (TM) is such a TM that the movement of its heads is entirely determined by the length of the input. That is, the TM is oblivious to its input. So far so good.
But one of the excercises is to prove the following theorem:
If a language L is decidable in time T(n)
then there exists an oblivious TM that decides L in time O(T(n)^2).
It is obvious that the oblivious TM must not operate on the original input of
L but at some coded version. That is, the gist of the theorem is the coding of a bitstring to an integer (length of the input of the oblivious TM). But if one would want to code the set of possible inputs of
L (bitstrings) to an integer, one would run into very high numbers fairly quickly since there are
2^n bitstrings of length
Am I understanding the problem correctly? How do you prove the theorem?

Serena Willams' agent denied a report in a British newspaper that the seven-time Grand Slam champion will sit out the rest of the season.
"Serena will be in L.A. [Wednesday], and we plan to release something about the next few tournaments, but as far as I know, she has not said she won't play the rest of the year," Williams' agent, Jill Smoller, told The Miami Herald. "I don't know where that came from."
Smoller made similar remarks to ESPN.
The Guardian reported that Williams, who has not played since the Australian Open in January and has dropped to No. 107 in the world rankings, would announce soon that she is done for the year. The paper did not cite a source in its report.
Williams has struggled with injuries since having surgery on her left knee in 2003.

Skip to comments.Gun Control and the Constitution
Posted on 02/11/2013 11:44:24 AM PST by IndePundit
Could there be a better illustration of the cultural divide over firearms than the White House photograph of our skeet-shooting president? Clay pigeons are launched into the air, but the president's smoking shotgun is level with the ground. This is not a man who is comfortable around guns. And that goes a long way toward explaining his gun-control agenda.
Lack of informed presidential leadership aside, there is a gulf between those Americans who view guns as invaluable tools for self-defense, both against private wrongdoers and a potentially tyrannical government, and those who regard that concept as hopelessly archaic and even subversive. For them, hunting is the only possible legitimate use of firearms, and gun ownership should be restricted to weapons suited to that purpose.
(Excerpt) Read more at online.wsj.com ...
I wonder how it got changed like that?
Speaking of the Constitution: If we can limit the number of rounds in a firearm magazine, we can limit the number of pages in a Hustler magazine. The same specious utilitarian logic that applies to the first also applies to the second.
obummer swore to uphold the Constitution. He thinks it is a pie that can be cut into pieces and devoured. Well the Bum Clown deserves a pie in the face, the whole pie.
In order to avoid unnecessary duplicates, always please use the proper headline. In order to help others find duplicates, always please use the actual published date.
Sounds like they got suckered by the Photoshopped picture.
The US Constitution is nothing more and nothing less that an obstruction to the "statist utopia" these socialist are pushing on every American and exactly who the moochers party wants!
Watch the socialist temper-tantrum along with the old media after the real conservatives puts the brakes on their so called "gun control" legislation. the US Constitution be damned, full steam ahead with disarming the American people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The leftist were embarrassed in front of their buddies in the UN when they could not get through a United Nations Small Arms control Treaty, so now, they are going to show their ilk in the UN they too can disarm these nasty and dangerous backwoods hicks of their firearms!!
Sit back and watch the fireworks my fellow Americans! It gets really good when the socialist are told "NO!"
Eight Deuce on the Loose!
How can any law like registration, which turns a right into a regulated conditional privilege, be constitutional? Legitimate government interest or not, the government was NOT delegated the authority to infringe upon the RIGHT to keep and bare arms. This applies both to the federal government and to the States through the due process clause of the 14th Amendment.
People a lot smarter than Feinstein and Obama wrote the Constitution and gave Americans rights.
We are not going to let some feminist dipstick, and a Muslim ,,forged birth certificate bi-sexual ding dong who lies about being a Constitutional scholar take them away
They may think Americans are stupid , but we are smart enough to know that when they take away the 2nd Amendment they may as well scraap the whole thing.-—and they will.
>obummer swore to uphold the Constitution.<
Ever heard of taqqiya?
Your choice of ordnance is suspect.
Umm, no it didn't. Didn't Alito him self write that the State could have "common" sense restrictions?
Some one please correct me if I'm wrong.
Obama doesn't care a rat's posterior about the Constitution...it's all about absolute government power and control. As for the SCOTUS decisions, Obama is just one justice appointment away from getting anything he wants. Roberts is willing to use clever sophistry to twist the Constitution and the Obama appointees would just as soon use UN tribunals as the US courts.
The current gun control proposals are the 21st Century version of the Poll Tax. Don't want a certain demographic voting, tax and regulate the voting process. Don't want a certain demographic owning firearms, tax and regulate them so that they are unaffordable.
It's an important distinction.
most JUDGES don't care about the constitution and SPECIFICALLY the second amendment.
Judges HATE HATE HATE the first amendment when it comes to recalling judges. They disguise it as "judicial independence" when they are really selling judicial tyrany.
...we can limit the days on which non-whites are free and can enjoy "low capacity" civil rights.
...we can limit the number of times women can vote.
...we can tax Qurans to limit their distribution.
...we can require Mosques to get a "permit" for "hi-capacity" morning prayers.
...we can limit the number of gay couples a church can marry.
...we can limit the number of abortions a woman can have.
...we can make Citizens get a "Privacy Permit" in order to exercise their 4th Amendment Rights.
etcetora, etcetora, etcetora.
NONE of these the Left would ever dare endorse. It's always the 2nd Amendment they attack with zeal.
2nd Amendment bump for later......
IMO God gave us Freedom. Liberty and a Free will
The Founders gave us the right to protect that freedom Liberty and Free Will with Arms.
Yes, I came up with it to bounce the Second, which the left hates against the reasons they love the First, which is rooted in their libertine lifestyle. Liberals are not friends to truth. There is no truth in them. And for that reason they do not love the First for the same reason that I do. They do not seek to protect and advance the First for the same reasons that I do. They have a higher authority than Truth and that is The Agenda. The Agenda is more important than Truth. The instant that something the First would protect gets in the way of the Agenda, liberals will strike the First down just as they seek to strike the Second. But for the present, the First is sacred, and that is why I phrased my soundbite that way.
No one gives us rights but God.
The US Government was put in place to protect those rights and they were prohibited from violating them.
Essential understanding, definitely.
Disappointingly, this appears to concede the Universal Background Check (see tagline).
... No one gives us rights but God.
The US Government was put in place to protect those rights and they were prohibited from violating them....
there is a process in place for an acceptable process for change to the Constitution. It is a changeable document, within the rules. The left just does not want to play by the rules they swore to uphold. I have an idea, you break your oath and advocate an issue that is found to be unconstitutional, you lose. No impeachment, no hearings, no waiting. Immediate forfeiture of position, salary, office and all the gold plated benefits that come with the job. Everything, no insurance, no retirement package, no security detail, nothing. There needs to be consequences for breaking your oath, personal consequences. Hit them in their own pocketbook.

St. Elizabeth Catholic High School in Thornhill will not be open for the first day back to school.
The York Catholic District School Board says there will be no access to the school all week because of repairs caused by a fire on December 29.
There was no one at the school, located at 525 New Westminster Dr., at the time of the fire.
The school's website says the cause appears to be electrical, and may be linked to a power outage caused by the ice storm.
Students and staff will not be relocated during the closure.
The school is set to reopen Jan. 13.

Hi Ladies,
Lately, I feel pressure sometimes in my lower abdomen and when I touch the area, the baby moves and kicks....
How would I know it is baby position vs BH?
Hi Ladies,
Lately, I feel pressure sometimes in my lower abdomen and when I touch the area, the baby moves and kicks....
How would I know it is baby position vs BH?
I feel the same thing but higher up, almost to the side of my belly button. At first I thought it was BH but now I think it is the baby pressing into me, like a head or a butt. I am curious what othes have to say.

shannonlee-Have the same thing...doc said it was baby's butt I was feeling:)
I feel the same thing. My mom took my wrist and started squeezing it slowly until it felt a little tight and then she would release. She said that is what a braxton hicks contraction feels like. Then she did the same thing only this time she started off light and ended up almost squeezing my wrist off! She said that's how contractions feel lol. So, I guess that's what braxton hicks feel like. Your whole stomach getting tight and then releasing without the pain of an actual contraction.

Haha I guess it depends.. There are times I know it's my little girl burrowing down closer towards my bladder and then streatching out. It feels so uncomfortable for a moment until I rub at my stomach and get her shifted back into another position and then I feel her flutters in different spots but it usually stays consistant. My BH weren't subtle and I knew they were there.. Ask you OB and she can better explain the difference. I'm going off my instinct. :P Good Luck!

BH is your uterus exercising itself in preparation for delivery. As PP described, they're not painful. It's just a tightening sensation which makes your entire belly feel hard to the touch for a few seconds.
When I get BH, the top of my uterus gets hard, not just the lower part. So if you're feeling that sensation, and the top of your uterus is not rock-hard, it's probably the baby's positioning.

Ramadan is the most important time of the year in the Islamic calendar, a time when people fast from sunrise to sunset, not even letting a drop of water into their mouth. The dates vary each year, going backwards by about ten days because Muslims follow the lunar calendar. The first day of the fast is announced when the new moon is sighted and the last day when the moon has reached its full cycle after which, there is a period of three days when the whole Muslim world celebrates Eid el-Futr (the feast of breaking the fast). When I planned my trip to Indonesia for the beginning of June, I didn't quite think of Ramadan but as it happened, the latter half of my stay coincided with the first week of Ramadan, which was both good and not so. Not so good because life slows down during the day, with many eateries closed but good because once the fast is broken at sunset, everything springs back into life, with restaurants putting on special Ramadan menus for those wanting or needing to break their fast (buka puasa as iftar is known out there) outside their home while street vendors wheel out their carts — some with Ramadan specialities which you don't see the rest of the year.

It's been a while since I gave you my belly dancer of the month. Too much traveling and too many different things to work on but my life has been a little more relaxed recently and here is my choice for this month, a resplendant Samia Gamal who with Tahiya Carioca, is my other favourite belly dancer. And like Tahiya, she avoids being vulgar despite the suggestiveness of her movements. Every time I watch her I wonder how her jaws don't ache with that wide fixed smile she has throughout her dances. She is very young in this clip taken from a 1954 film called Raqsat al-Weda'. The choreography and set are delightful, her body and movements absolutely gorgeous and the characters watching her very amusing despite some tragic expressions! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

I am coming to the end of my Sicilian stay, and this year I managed to be there for orange blossom season even if I arrived at the tail end of the season. I had Amy come back to visit, and one of the first things we did was to go down to the citrus grove to pick enough blossom to make our jam. Most of the blossom had gone but there were still enough for us to pick to make our jam. And the fact that the blossom was nearing the end of its life made it easier to pick. All we had to do was to shake the branches for the petals to fall off the buds and into our basket. Well, not all the petals but at least half. Here below are pics of Amy reaching high up in the tree to get some really good blossom to add to those that fell off easily.

Cauliflower is a very fashionable vegetable nowadays. You will see it on restaurant menus from San Francisco to New York to London, prepared in myriad ways from sliced thick and served as steak, to roasted, to grated and used instead of flour as a base for gluten-free pizza, and so on. But using it to make a sauce for pasta has not yet, as far as I know, been adopted by chefs even though it is a typical Sicilian way of using green cauliflower when in season. Some of you will already know that I am well on my way to becoming Sicilian, at least in as far as having a home there, and as a result, I am spending a fair amount of time on the island, staying on a beautiful organic farm belonging to my friend, Mary Taylor Simeti, who is also my guru for all things Sicilian — Mary is the author of the ultimate book on Sicilian food. So when I saw green cauliflower at the greengrocer, I decided to buy one before the season ends. Easter is the cut off time for cauliflower. Initially, I was going to make the pasta sauce myself. I had learned it from Mary but as she is just up the lane from my casetta, I thought why not have the master (or should I say mistress!) make it. And so it was. I carried my cauliflower to Mary's house with my camera to snap her make the sauce while her gorgeous grandchildren sat mesmerized watching cartoons on the TV.

We stayed in Villa Alessandra more than once, lately in april last year and keep finding this place absolutely lovely. In the midst of a typical Tuscan/Lucca countryside, far enough from the city not to be disburted by noises or pollution, yet close enough to be in the center of Lucca in roughly 15 minutes.
The old classy and aristocratic house is charming and beautifully decorated, exceptionnally well kept, and the rooms are spacious, extremely comfortable, each with its own decoration style,
One is welcomed by the most pleasant hosts. Of course they are hosts, not valets ( as pretended by one of the reviewers...) and you cannot ask a gentleman in his early seventies to carry your bags. They are very culturred people, know the countryside and Lucca very well and will guide you with intelligent and acute advice.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Villa Alessandra is a noble country mansion built on the hill of Lucca in the middle of the XVIII° century (1760).Surrounded by vineyards and olive-groves edging its gardens rich of flowers and mimosa trees Far only few minutes from the Old City center unites the advantages of a modern town with the charm of the old times spirit It is available for weekly rentals (full Villa) or daily B&B (rooms only)or daily B&B (rooms only). ... more less
