Dislike. Tried it a few times. It smells cheap and artificial on me, and the vanilla is slightly nauseating. The bottle design is not a plus. Well, you asked.
I got me some Jean Paul after hearing how much of a lady killer it is and I really dont know what think about this thing.. The thing just kinda stinks and kinda smells good at the same time + = Does anyone else have a hard time making up their mind on this one? I know i don't love it so i wouldn't buy it again but it's just something i might wear once in a great while just because supposedly females like it i think... even the bottle is just bad news.. I try to like it but the stuff is just Gutler man

Totally agree with docluv45. Honestly can't see why people love this one so much. Way too overpowering no matter how little you use. Artificial smelling.. I don't find anything about this one at all that I like. I had a bottle for a long time and it had so much dust on it from not using it, I just threw it away. Way over hyped in my opinion. This was one that I got the least amount of compliments from girls/women on. Most of them said that they didn't like it and that it stunk. Way too many others in my collection that are better then this one
exactly, thats how i feel...
Not a fan. Don't understand why it is popular.
Current Summer Favorites:
1. Xerjoff - Nio
2. Tom Ford - Rive dAmbre
3. Dior - Homme Cologne 2013
4. The Different Company - De Bachmakov
5. Armani - Code Sport Athlete
6. Montale - Aoud Legacy
7. Dior - Homme Sport 2008
8. by Kilian - Straight to Heaven
9. Ermenegildo Zegna - Sicilian Mandarin
10. Creed - Pure White Cologne
Just like the post above, not a fan. Although I do enjoy once in while the less obnoxious and cheaper Cuba Gold.
The Dreamer from Versace: what does this scent have that is so alluring and enticing towards the opposite sex ?
Trainwreck! citrus cologne opening slammed into a noxious vanilla over a backdrop of BO. Then there is the bottle... worst blind buy ever.
1. Get a bottle of McCormick vanilla extract and a tube of the mintiest toothpaste you can find, then don't wash for a couple of days.
2. Make a slurry with the toothpaste and vanilla in your hands and then apply it to your stinky armpits and voila: Le Male by J.P. Gaultier.
Perfume lovers of the world UNITE!!!!!
My honest opinion, in spite of anything, is actually a good one. On my skin at least, neither development nor versatility of this scent are actually bad and, apart from the hype and the often excessive popularity, I honestly have gotten to enjoy this one, not being able to find many reasons for fragrance-related displeasure.
Synthetic ingredients notwithstanding, I think Le Male is still a pretty good composition given the attendant 'designer' constraints. Unfortunately the bottle design is downright tacky.
Dont hate it anymore but wouldnt buy it. The 25ml decant i have will last me forever.
Want to trade - Chanel Platinum Egoiste for Dior Eau Sauvage...
My honest opinion? The greatest fragrance ever created. If it were only not a best seller, it would be recognized as such by more basenoters.
My Current Fab Five Fragrances:
1) Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male
2) YSL La Nuit De L'homme
3) Acqua Di Gio Profumo
4) Valentino Uomo Intense
5) Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male
Last edited by hoschhti; 21st December 2012 at 08:56 AM. Reason: stunk
I dislike the the scent in question, and its housing even more...
Current Top Ten:
1) Portrait of a Lady original formula (EdP Frédéric Malle)
2) Giorgio for Men vintage (Giorgio Beverly Hills) - tie
2) Giorgio V.I.P. for Men (Giorgio Beverly Hills) - tie
4) Dia Man vintage edt (Amouage)
5) Anat Fritz Original Formula and Classical (Anat Fritz)
6) Captain vintage (Molyneux)
7) Javanese Patchouli (Zegna) - tie
7) Monsieur de Givenchy vintage (Givenchy) - tie
7) Coeur de Vetiver Sacré (L'Artisan) - tie
7) Polo vintage (Ralph Lauren) - tie
it's a good the scent for the young, mostly for informal situations!
I enjoy this when sprayed very lightly. I find it quite beautiful and pleasant.
I kinda like it. I've had the same initial bottle i bought in the 90's. I don't wear it too often, and only a spray or 2 is required. i think thats where people go wrong....2 sprays MAXIMUM.
Synthetic, overused, would never consider buying it
...but received it as a present and enjoy it quite a bit. If only it wasn't so terribly popular. I like the cheeky bottle and see the scent as a modern take on Pour Un Homme.
Whilst I don't like it (I'm not big fan of Polycyclic musk overdose) I do think it a very clever fragrance. It lasts forever with a huge silage; clearly very many men love it as you can still smell it just about everywhere. When I first smelled it, and saw the bottle, I thought that JPG had made a big mistake by targeting the gay market to the total exclusion of everyone else; how wrong I was. Not only was it hugely popular but there were copycats by the dozen, including Lynx type body sprays, as well as Fabric Conditioners and air fresheners. "Real" men only wear "masculines"?; bollox. Real men wear sweet. musky, lavender floral Le Male.

Dislike . Awful bottle, ditto the contents.
I quite like it. It works best on the young and slim, so my time is about to expire. Clever fragrance - Yes! Synthetic - Yes, sure! Definitely a huge milestone in the world of perfumery.
I love the whole everything about it...bottle, smell, advertising, popularity It just smells good on my skin.
This fragrance is great! alotta people say they dislike it because of the popularity, but I guarantee most of the "haters" have it in their collections!
I know that many have written that women love it, and that it is very useful in that regard.
I wouldn't know as, while I like it, I've only ever worn it when I've had a woman on my arm. I didn't feel comfortable wearing it when I was single.
I like it a lot, its probably my favorite fragrance of all times (Rive Gauche is taking that position slowly time after time).
Its synthetic, youth, fun, easy to wear and crowplease. Also it lasts all day long and projects nicely.
Its the favorite fragrance of my dad too.
I think it's a very fine fragrance.
perfect for the younger guys
It is better than Axe.
about a 9/10 from me

How technology helps CFOs rejuvenate the planning and forecasting process
Join us as industry expert and author Steve Player discusses the impact that 21st century technologies such as social media, cloud computing, Big Data, and mobility are having on planning. See how when combined, these tools reinvent the planning and forecasting process, and also allow the finance team to stop with methods that are no longer useful.
Budgeting at most companies follows a process blueprint that was designed in the 1920s and has changed very little. When large computers came on stage in the 1960s and 70s, the budget expanded because transaction processing expanded. When personal computing exploded in the 1980s and 80s, accountants used spreadsheets to personally automate the 1920s blueprint. And while things are faster, the net result is just greater frustration. It time to fundamentally reinvent planning.

Rogers Wins 16th Stage, van Garderen Slips In Overall Standings
BAGNERES-DE-LUCHON, France -- Riding in his 10th Tour de France, three-time world champion Michael Rogers of Australia finally got his first stage victory in cycling's greatest race on Tuesday by leading a breakaway group to a downhill finish as the pack entered the Pyrenees.
Italy's Vincenzo Nibali, finishing about 8½ minutes back, reined in his top challengers and retained the yellow jersey after Stage 16, the longest stage of this year's race and the first of three days in the mountains on France's border with Spain.
Behind the Italian, the contest for podium places was shaken up: Thibaut Pinot of France rose to third in the standings, while compatriot Romain Bardet dropped to fifth. Tejay van Garderen of the United States lost more than 3½ minutes, slipping from fifth to sixth and seeing his podium hopes dealt a serious blow.
Rogers took a bow as he crossed the line alone after the 237.5-kilometer (147-mile) leg from Carcassonne to Bagneres-de-Luchon, which featured a tough climb up the mountain pass of Port de Bales.
Rogers came close not to riding on this Tour for the Tinkoff-Saxo Bank team.
In a ruling announced in April, the International Cycling Union accepted that meat Rogers ate in China last year probably caused his positive doping test at the Japan Cup shortly afterward. Rogers, a crucial teammate of two-time Tour champion Alberto Contador, convinced the UCI that he hadn't intended to cheat, and said the episode was "a very difficult time" for his family.
Following the UCI ruling, Rogers said he came back with "a different outlook on life."
"It was certainly a lesson in life for me," he added. "Sometimes you need a lesson in life to see the silver lining in the cloud."
Rogers said he might not have had the opportunity to win a stage if Contador -- his team leader, who crashed out in Stage 10 -- were still racing because his job would have been more of a support rider. Now that the Spaniard is out, the team came up with a Plan B: To try for stage wins.
As the day began, a breakaway group of 21 riders came together over the first two hours and stuck together for much of the day, chiseling out a lead of more than 12 minutes.
But their unity began to disintegrate along the 12-kilometer Port de Bales climb, which is ranked `Hors Categorie' because the ascent is so tough that it's considered beyond classification.
In its steepest patch, the gradient reached 11 percent. Rogers was in a bunch of five riders that came together in the final descent, and he stepped on the accelerator with less than 3.2 miles left.
After Tuesday's ride, Nibali leads second-place Alejandro Valverde of Spain by 4 minutes, 37 seconds, and Pinot is 5:06 back. French veteran Jean-Christophe Peraud is fourth, at 6:08, and Bardet is 6:40 behind. Van Garderen, while only losing a notch in the standings, is 9:25 behind the race leader.
Stage 16 was just an appetizer for the Pyrenees, with uphill finishes to follow on Wednesday and Thursday.
Aside from a penultimate stage time trial, Stage 17 starting in Saint-Gaudens will be the shortest this year at 77 miles. It features three hard Category 1 climbs, and an ascent to the Saint-Lary Pla d'Adet ski station. The three-week race ends Sunday on the Champs-Elysees in Paris.

Series History
Harvard and Penn have met 80 times, with the Crimson leading the all-time series, 43-35-2. After losing three of the last four to the Quakers, the Crimson downed Penn, 12-8, in the Ivy League tournament semifinals last season in Ithaca, N.Y.

He has moved to first in Harvard history in goals with 135 in his career, surpassing David Bohn '61 (132). Cohen has already posted a career-best with 41 goals this spring. Over the course of his career, Cohen has amassed 158 points (135-23-158), ranking im eighth in the Harvard record books.
One of the Nation's Best
Senior Jeff Cohen continues to be an offensive threat for the Crimson and ranks with the nation's elite. Cohen entered the week second in the nation in goals per game, averaging 3.9 per contest. Cohen is seventh with 4.40 points per game, while Keegan Michel stands 11th in faceoff win percentage (.605). Cohen also leads the Crimson and the Ivy League with 41 goals and 47 points.
Home is Where the Wins Are
Harvard has enjoyed the friendly confines of Cambridge Mass., under head coach Chris Wojcik. The Crimson has compiled a 10-3 record when playing on its home field under its current skipper, including a 5-1 mark this spring. In those 13 games, Harvard has outscored its opponents 165-111.
With 41 goals and five assists, Jeff Cohen paces Harvard's offense with 47 points. Daniel Eipp (22-16-38) and Kevin Vaughan (12-17-29) stand second and third, respectively, on the team in points. Keegan Michel has picked up 51 ground balls, the most on the Crimson, while Stephen Jahelka and Jason Gonos have 12 caused turnovers apiece.
Around The Ivy League
With three Ancient Eight games remaining in the spring, Harvard (2-1) sits behind Cornell (4-0) and Princeton (3-0) for first place in the Ivy League.
In games involving Ancient Eight teams this weekend, Brown welcomes Yale Friday evening, while Princeton plays host to Dartmouth Saturday.
He's Honored
After scoring eight goals and finishing with nine points, Jeff Cohen was selected as the Ivy League Player of the Week for the second time this season April 2. Cohen scored seven of those eight goals and dished out an assist for a career-high eight points in the 11-7 win over Michigan March 31.
Faceoff Specialist
The Crimson has won 153-of-263 faceoffs (.582) this spring. Keegan Michel has earned victories on 114-of-181 (.630) chances, making the freshman one of the best in the Ivy League and the country.

Harvard will play nine games in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts this season. The Crimson currently boasts a 6-2 record in the state, with wins over Vermont (home), Holy Cross (road), Brown (home), Dartmouth (home), Michigan (home) and Quinnipiac (home).
Tewaaraton Award Watch List
Daniel DiMaria and Kevin Vaughan were named to the 2012 Tewaaraton Award Watch List, as they were included among a list of the 50 best men's players in the nation. A two-time captain of Harvard, Vaughan was selected by the Denver Outlaws in the second round with the 14th overall pick of the 2012 Major League Lacrosse Collegiate Draft.
DiMaria was chosen by the Charlotte Hounds in the sixth round with the 41st overall pick of the 2012 MLL Draft.
Harvard was selected to tie for second with Princeton in the Ivy League in the Inside Lacrosse preseason conference poll. Sophomore attackman Daniel Eipp and senior midfielder Kevin Vaughan were selected to the Inside Lacrosse preseason all-conference team.
Strength Of Schedule
Four of Harvard's 14 regular-season games are against schools ranked in this week's Nike/Inside Lacrosse Men's Division I poll. The Crimson is 0-4 against ranked teams this spring, falling to then-No. 19 Hofstra, No. 18 Georgetown, No. 14 Duke and No. 3 Massachusetts.
Four-Goal Outburst
In Harvard's 15-10 conference win over Dartmouth March 24, the Crimson tallied four goals within a 45-second span of the third quarter. Harvard, which enjoyed a one-minute non-releasable man-up opportunity against the Big Green, netted goals at 9:41 (Jeff Cohen), 9:16 (Cohen), 9:03 (Daniel Eipp) and 8:56 (Kevin Vaughan). The first three of those tallies were man-up scores.
Harvard has won 13 national championships in men's lacrosse, including the first two intercollegiate titles (in 1881 and 1882). Harvard has won three Ivy League championships (1964, 1980, 1990) and made five NCAA tournament appearances (1980, 1988, 1990, 1996, 2006). Eighty-five Harvard players have achieved All-America status.
Harvard has had just five head coaches since 1949. Bruce Munro coached the Crimson from 1949-74. Bob Scalise (now Harvard's director of athletics) took over from 1975-87, and Scott Anderson coached the Crimson from 1988-2007. John Tillman led Harvard from 2008-10, and this is the first year Chris Wojcik '96 sits at the helm of the Crimson.
Well Attended
In 2008 and 2009, Harvard served as a co-host, along with the ECAC, for the NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championships. Last year's championships drew a total of 126,673 fans to Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. The 2010 and 2011 championships were held in Baltimore, Md., but will return to Gillette in 2012, as once again Harvard will serve as the tournament host. Harvard also hosted two games of the NCAA quarterfinals at Gillette Stadium in May 2011.
Championship Tradition
Harvard has won 140 national team championships in 18 different sports since the men's track and field team won the school's first national title in 1880. The list includes four NCAA titles (1989 men's ice hockey, 1990 women's lacrosse, 2003 women's rowing, 2006 fencing). Harvard has the largest Division I athletics program in the country with 41 varsity sports and nearly 1,500 student-athletes.

At least that's the claim that several notorious bastions of journalistic legitimacy are making.The scene: ESPN garage. The crime: Tony Kornheiser's car is stolen. The reason: TK's being stalked. Now, every Kornheiser story hasn't been legitimate around these here internet parts, but with his recent hernia surgery wouldn't now be the time for his stalker to pounce? Of course it would. And everyone knows that bald white men over 60 who dance like penguins are the leading candidates to be stalked. That's a bona fide statistic. We go to Media Bistro for the details.
We hear that Tony Kornheiser's car was stolen from the ESPN garage in DC, last week causing "mad drama," to quote one source. He dropped his keys in the garage, someone took the car and now he's demanded extra security because he claims its a stalker.
Wow, that stalker was really lucky that TK dropped his car keys. In a wholly unrelated note, Joe Theismann has been released after questioning. Kornheiser's Car: Stolen! [Media Bistro] Tony Kornheiser's car may have been stolen by a "stalker" [Awful Announcing]

How to Use a Tablet Touchscreen and Keyboard
You interact with a tablet through its touchscreen and onscreen keyboard. Using a tablet's touchscreen or onscreen keyboard, you provide input with your finger or a stylus rather than a mouse.
Use a tablet's touchscreen
Most tablets on the market today allow you to simply use your finger to select items or open apps by simply tapping them. Other touchscreen actions are just as intuitive, although some actions may vary from tablet to tablet.
Drag apps or objects by tapping them with a finger and dragging them around onscreen. Typically, you flick from one screen to another by swiping (dragging) left or right with your finger, and scroll through a web page or document by swiping (dragging) up or down instead.
The touchscreen experience is kind of like fingerpainting gone hi-tech. It's an intuitive way to select things, and with a little practice quite easy to master. One easy maneuver involves pinching and spreading your fingers outward to enlarge (or inward to reduce) the screen.
Use a tablet's onscreen keyboard
In addition to providing the touchscreen so you can select and maneuver items onscreen, tablets provide an onscreen keyboard for you to enter text and numbers. Typically the keyboard appears when you tap in a field or area where data entry makes sense, such as the Search field in a web browser.
Onscreen keyboards typically have a few different keyboards built in. One might contain mostly letters, another numbers, and another, symbols. There is usually a key on the keyboard that you can tap to select a different keyboard. For example, you can tap the .?123 key shown here to switch to the keyboard with numbers and symbols on it.
Onscreen keyboards are pretty easy to use, but if you opt for a smaller tablet, for example one with a 7-inch screen, you might find using it challenging. In that case, you can connect your tablet to a wireless or Bluetooth physical keyboard — an optional accessory for which you'll have to pay a price.

Now's a good time to pull back on the joystick, lower the elevators, and drop down through the August clouds to visit our favorite theme park: Book World. (Where thought-becomes-word-becomes-deed and the planet's better off for the nickel spent.) Let's get to it, shall we?
Although the following study was conducted in Belgium, it may have real-world consequences. According to a recent article in the Journal of Environmental Psychology, researchers used dispensers to release the smell of chocolate at intervals in two sections of a bookstore. Persons browsing during these cacao puffs were more likely to engage in "purchase-related behavior" (physically handling books, talking to staff, perhaps even buying a book) than persons not submitted to the mists. These behaviors were twice as likely among women, especially when they wandered through chocolate air while browsing in the romance or cookbook sections.
This Belgian bookstore study was not a breakthrough exactly, since the nefarious subfield of "scent marketing" – also known as "smell-vertising" – (watch, the hyphen in that term will disappear within a year or two) has been around for decades. In 2008, for example, a study published in the Journal of Consumer Research revealed that if you blow the scent of chocolate chip cookies at women shopping in a boutique, they are more likely to make an impulsive clothing purchase. (Which may explain the reemergence of chartreuse and burnt orange as blouse colors lately.)
Further examples include: Nivea Company releasing the smell of sunscreen during a movie via the ventilation system, Abercrombie & Fitch saturating their stores in cologne "fragrance," Canada-based McCain Foods mounting fiberglass spuds at bus stops that give off the smell of oven-baked potatoes, and Dunkin' Donuts use of "Flavor Radio" on buses to flush a coffee smell from devices that look like air-fresheners.
I am constantly reminded of the comedian Bill Hicks' question to the audience during one of his stand-up performances. As part of a rant against the amorality of American commerce, he said: "Anyone here in marketing, or advertising?" A few hands went up. "Oh yeah? I'll tell you what: Go kill yourself." He went on to perform a brilliant riff about dishonesty in the service of wallet stealing, about the use of mental and – in this chocolate case – physiological trickery used to separate people from their money.
Oh, well now, Hugh, settle down. It is August and too quiet here on Chestnut Hill Peninsula to be raising your voice like that. Besides, it's kind of a cute story, blowing the smell of chocolate at people to see what they'll do.
Okay, I guess so, but geez, what's the difference between chloroforming someone and rerouting his or her neural circuitry with theobromine (I'll save you the trouble: Wikipedia says it's the active alkaloid in chocolate) prior to their making an "informed choice"?
Maybe I should get with it and seek to better my situation in life by using this information to sell something. As a seller of "used" books I am privy to an abundance of musty odors emanating 24/7 from my merchandise. I could perhaps capture these smells in a receptacle and sell them for release into the air-modification systems of … where? That's the sticking point. I don't quite know where. I just remember persons frequently entering my bookshop and saying, "Ah! I love that old bookshop smell."
Though it never seemed to increase their likelihood of acquiring a book or two (not as potently, let's say, as the FREE sign over the books put out on the sidewalk), they expressed their olfactory joy with such enthusiasm I almost felt proud. Rather like winning "Best of Show" at a flatulence convention one has accidentally wandered into.
If there were a way I could package old books to have visual appeal, they might be salable as bathroom odorizers. People could put a unit inside a knitted cozy and place it atop a toilet tank.
Another use: You've heard of automobile dealerships spraying cars with "that new-car smell," haven't you? Perhaps people who want a vintage car, but can't afford one, could be offered "that old-car smell" through an air-deadener, dashboard dangler in the shape and smell of an old book. People could exercise their options by choosing titles such as the "Old Man" part of the Hemingway book, or "Fifty Shades of Mold."
Or … say, how about this: We'll put plastic, odorless chocolates in a showcase and blow the smell of books at people who look at them. Perhaps they'll begin to engage in "purchase-related behavior" of chocolates. Oh, those crazy Belgian researchers!
Last stop: "I love the smell of Kindles in the morning." Though I don't suggest you go to the website I went to when I Googled "Kindle smell," I found a funny parody advertising site (so I took it to be) that claims to be copyrighted by "DuroSport Electronics." It offers an old-book odor aerosol spray compatible with just about every kind of eBook reader.
Hugh's book, "Scenes from a Bookshop," tells stories of old-bookshop life from the days when he ran a Chestnut Hill bookstore. Available through bookstores and from Amazon.com in paperback and Kindle formats.

There were 11 new head coaches around the NFL at the start of the 2009 season.
When the Colts fired Jim Caldwell earlier this week, only two of those 11 men were still in their jobs. One of the teams that had a new coach in 2009, the Raiders, has already fired the replacement for the first guy, and the Browns might do the same if they don't show significant improvement next season. Trench warfare in World War I had a better survival rate than that.
That turnover seems significant because there haven't been many coaches who have been fired more often by fans and the media than Tom Coughlin.
You can't flip on New York sports radio powerhouse WFAN on the Monday after a Giants loss without hearing someone, let's call them Rocco from Rockville Center, calling for Coughlin's head. Those calls got very loud in 2009 and 2010 as the Giants missed the playoffs and the polish of his Super Bowl title wore off.
U.S. & World
But the Giants hung with Coughlin, and their patience paid off with this year's run back to the NFC title game.
While you get the feeling that the Giants sometimes express patience simply to be contrarian -- see the coaching tenures of Jim Fassel and Dan Reeves -- there's no question that sticking with Coughlin through his often messy early years and his recent downturn have given the team a stable foundation that's helped birth a couple of unlikely runs deep into the playoffs.
It's strange that more organizations don't have the stomach for sticking things out over the long haul. You constantly hear about what a tough and all encompassing job it is to be head coach of an NFL team, yet teams rush to pull the plug and chase after the new, new thing so often that it is impossible to imagine how they could actually expect any coach to make a significant difference.
Understanding the reasons why they are so jumpy is easy. They need fans to spend money, which requires winning games and requires the media to be supportive of the team's direction. But changing direction so often only serves to undermine those desires.
The Giants have shown patience in other areas. Plenty of teams would have blown up their offensive line a long time ago, and there isn't another team in the league that wouldn't have fired special teams coach Tom Quinn the moment DeSean Jackson took a punt back for a touchdown to end their season in 2010.
General manager Jerry Reese just stuck with the players at hand when free agency and injuries depleted the Giants roster before the season, and the team never wavered when they lost four straight games to put their playoff hopes in doubt after midseason.
In the 49ers, they are meeting a partner in patience. Yes, the Niners were one of those teams with a new coach in 2009, and much has been made about the way Jim Harbaugh has exceeded expectations in his first year as the coach, but he has done it with players that were, for the most part, already on the roster when he arrived.
Alex Smith is the most notable of these players. -- there's no bigger argument in favor of patience in the entire NFL, but there are plenty of others sprinkled around the lineup. Plenty of teams make radical changes when a new coach comes on the job, something that further erodes the notion that there's any larger plan to what they're doing in the front office.
The 49ers made additions, but they highlighted what was already on the roster and refused to concede a year to "changing the culture" just because that's what's expected when you change coaches.
There's more. Justin Smith might have been the best defensive player in the league this year and the Bengals, noted arbiters of talent, let him walk away as a free agent in 2008 after several productive years. He's stepped his game up since getting to San Francisco, a reminder that you don't get far producing players and then kicking them out the door just when they hit their peak.
Yes, Smith got expensive, but good players get expensive, and only the impatient think that someone better is walking in the door to replace them.
Teams that make a lot of changes to their staff or their roster like to make it seem like they are doing the hard work of team building. In reality, that's the easy part. It's flashy and about winning the headlines.
What's hard is sticking with something you believe in even when critics are popping up all around you to tell you why you're an idiot for trying to do things that way.
On Sunday, those critics will be silent.

OAKLAND — The multimillion-dollar push to restore Lake Merritt and reconnect it to the bay is already paying major dividends for wildlife and soon will do the same for people.
Oakland officials and a flotilla of kayaks Friday celebrated the recent removal of a dam and culverts at 12th Street that had choked off the lake from the bay for more than 144 years.
With those barriers gone, the lake's waters will be healthier for fish and birds and less prone to stinky early summer algae blooms, said Joel Peter, who managed the project for the city.
A bigger celebration is being planned for June celebrating the completion of the entire $47 million project to add amenities, restore marshland and improve access at the south end of the lake.
Much of the work is already done. Crews have replaced the 12-lane road that zipped cars along 12th and 14th Streets with a narrower six lane, tree-lined road.
That road, between the lake and the Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center, made space available for a¿ 4-acre park that will be completed in the next couple of months, Peter said.
The park, along with a soon-to-be-opened bicycle and pedestrian bridge, will make it easier for cyclists and joggers circling the lake.
Also scheduled to open soon is a new pathway and restored marshland along a portion of Lake Merritt Channel, which connects the lake with the shoreline. The path will link the lake to 10th Street but is slated to eventually extend all the way to the shoreline and link with the Bay Trail.
"I think this whole walk is going to be a Bay Area destination that everyone is going to love," Mayor Jean Quan said.
Lake Merritt was formed in 1869 when Samuel Merritt built the dam at 12th Street. Over the years, the adjoining channel was narrowed by new developments.
In 2002, city voters approved Measure DD, which included more than $88 million to restore the flow of water to the lake and revitalize large portions of it.
The current $47 million project, which includes state and federal grants, is under-budget, but a couple of years late primarily because of a failed lawsuit that sought to preserve about 200 trees slated for removal.
Additional bond-related projects, scheduled to be completed within the next three years, will remove additional culverts to further improve water quality and extend the walking path along the channel beyond Interstate 880.
The city still needs to find money to extend the channel walk over the railroad tracks west of the freeway and connect it to the shore.

A team of investigators led by UC Davis found that eating soy products such as soy milk and tofu did not prevent the onset of hot flashes and night sweats as women entered menopause.
Unlike previous studies investigating the relationship between soy and these menopausal symptoms, the current study included a very large population over a long period of time: more than 1,600 women over 10 years.
The article, titled "Phytoestrogen and Fiber Intakes in Relation to Incident Vasomotor Symptoms: Results from the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation," was published online today inMenopause: The Journal of The North American Menopause Society and will appear in the March 2013 print issue of the journal.
"Given that most women experience unpleasant symptoms, particularly hot flashes and night sweats, during menopause, we were hopeful that certain dietary intakes would provide good alternatives to hormone therapy," said Ellen Gold, lead author of the study and professor and chair of the UC Davis Department of Public Health Sciences. "Unfortunately, based on our study, soy-related foods did not turn out to be the 'magic bullet.'"
The study analyzed data from the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation (SWAN), which followed more than 3,000 premenopausal and early perimenopausal women with annual visits for 10 years. Women answered detailed questionnaires of their dietary habits at baseline, year five and year nine, and in each year were asked about the frequency of various menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes and night sweats.
The new study focused on the 1,651 women who had not yet had hot flashes and night sweats (called vasomotor symptoms) at the beginning of the study, because the investigators wanted to specifically evaluate the effect of dietary factors on preventing the onset of these symptoms.
The main dietary factor of interest in this study was phytoestrogens, also known as plant-based estrogens. Predominantly found in tofu, soy milk and other soy-containing foods, phytoestrogens have a chemical structure similar to estrogen and are believed to mimic the effects of the female hormone in the body. Since estrogen levels drop during menopause, the investigators hypothesized that a diet high in phytoestrogens would reduce menopause symptoms. They also evaluated the participants' consumption of fiber, because it is thought to increase the availability of estrogens in the body.
The study found no consistent correlations between dietary phytoestrogens or fiber and the onset of menopausal symptoms in women who were not yet postmenopausal when they started the study.
Although other studies have examined similar hypotheses, the outcomes have been somewhat inconsistent. Most previous studies evaluated women who were already postmenopausal and having symptoms. Also, a clear dose-response relationship -- showing that the more phytoestrogens or fiber women consumed, the less likely they were to develop symptoms -- has not been consistently found.
The authors conceded that to determine conclusively if a relationship exists between such dietary intakes and the onset of menopausal symptoms, a large, randomized, placebo-controlled trial would be needed with many years of follow-up. However, they stated that such a study would be costly and difficult, and their results indicate that finding a clinically significant or large effect would be unlikely.
The study had many advantages over earlier studies. It included detailed dietary information on a large number of women from across the U.S. who were followed over the course of a decade. SWAN also included women from different racial and ethnic groups, including white, African-American, Hispanic, Chinese and Japanese women.
"In general, women of Asian ancestry report fewer menopausal hot flashes than do women of European backgrounds," said Gail Greendale, a specialist in geriatric medicine with UCLA Health System and the UCLA principal investigator of the SWAN Phytoestrogen Study. "The 'Eastern' dietary pattern, which is high in phytoestrogens, has been one of the proposed explanations for the ethnic differences in hot flash occurrence. Our findings do not support the theory that higher phytonutrient intakes are associated with lower hot flash rates."
"This study contributes to the discussion about the effects of phytoestrogens on symptoms at menopause," added Gold, who was principal investigator of the UC Davis/Kaiser Permanente site of the SWAN study. "But it is not the final word. Other advantages to these compounds may exist, or it may be that a subset of women will benefit from phytoestrogen intake because of their genetic makeup, which could affect their metabolism of these dietary factors."
Led by UCLA, the SWAN Phytoestrogen Study investigators are also studying the effects of phytoestrogens on bone density and cognition, as well as whether the ability to produce a metabolite called equol when digesting phytoestrogens may have an effect. Equol appears to have greater biological potency as an estrogen mimic than other breakdown products of phytoestrogens, and Asians are more likely to be equol producers than non-Asians.
SWAN was supported by the National Institute on Aging, National Institute of Nursing Research and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research on Women's Health. The Study of Women's Health Across the Nation Phytoestrogen Ancillary Study was supported by NIH grant AG030448.
In addition to Gold and Greendale, the study authors were Elaine Waetjen with the UC Davis Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Mei-Hua Huang of the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine, and Katherine Leung and Sybil Crawford with the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester.

KOffice: Summer of Code Students Deliver the Goods
Under the KDE umbrella, the KOffice project took part in the 2006 Summer of Code with four participants. And not only that, but the Dutch Programmeerzomer, sponsored by Finalist, also selected a KOffice project. The summer is over, the season of mists and long hacking nights has arrived and the question that's obviously in everyone's mind is, have these five delivered? -- and, more importantly, will Gabor, Alfredo, Emanuele, Thomas and Fredrik continue hacking on KOffice?

It's hard to tell, because some people REALLY do think any software remotely associated with GTK+ is part of GNOME. To these people Firefox, GIMP and OO.org are all GNOME apps.

Re: Wow
But OO.org wrote its own widget set from scratch which it uses on all platforms. There is no GTK usage there at all.
What surprises me is why so many people think that there are just two widget sets; Qt and Gtk. And everything not Qt must therefor be Gtk. Which is pretty far from the truth :)

But honestly, a wxwidgets backend for QT would improve things dramtically.

Re: No can do
Most of kdelibs is LGPL. GPL can be linked to LGPL just fine. Why do you think there are businesses like The Kompany (i.e.- http://www.thekompany.com/home/) that creates semi-closed source software that uses kdelibs?

yeah, i'm impressed. i mean - helloooooh, version support!!!!! that's soooo cool... i hope it has/will have a good gui, a timeline and it'll keep the undo after subsequent savings - these things i've been looking for for a long time.
i would also love some way to attach/embed some text snippets, alternatives, to (parts of) documents. i often have a second or third alternative for a paragraph with text - and i'd love to be able to save them some way. but i guess that's a little too much to wish for, and there are much things which have higher priority ;-)

Re: Wow
It would be awesome to have some sort of versioning system for documents... like when you save, you can save it as a more recent version, but still keep all the previous incarnations in the same file. Then have a view mode that lets you see the document with all the previous versions at the same time, in a heirarchical view, in reverse chronological order... maybe even let you pick out, paragraph by paragraph, the version you want to keep, then at the end, view what you picked as a coherent document. It might help to have some sort of plugin that runs diff on each section of text against every other section, so as to weed out duplicate paragraphs. This would be quite awesome.

some thoughts
Congratulations to all of the five! It's great to hear about these developments and potential new developers!
I've heard that the bezier-code won't be used in krita2.0, since that will use flake, and that will somehow replace the current bezier code. I hope that it will live on in flake?!
I think the layers/parts-widget still needs a lot of tweaking: First, it wastes a lot of space, like many such widgets in koffice. The "layers"-tab is too high, then there's too much vertical space before the "normal" combobox. There needs to be some room between the listwidget and the buttons below. Then, it doesn't really need a statusbar. The information for each layer (thumbnail, layername, the eye, the lock) looks really cluttered at one point, while there is LOTS of space to the right. And it goes on and on.
I realize its development code, so this is just meant as constructive criticism!
By me at Tue, 2006/09/05 - 5:00am
Re: some thoughts
The statusbar you see in the screenshot is Krita's statusbar :-). As for the layout, we hope we'll be able to have it tighter once KDE4 settles a bit. As it is now, it's really hard. Sometimes buttons appear (like to the right of the opacity spinbox), for instance.
By Boudewijn Rempt at Tue, 2006/09/05 - 5:00am
Re: some thoughts
Please, is there a way to replace the current "spinboxes" with something similar to what Adobe products use?
I mean, values appearing just as underlined colored numbers, over which the user can drag left/right to decrease/increase them, or just click on them to manually enter it's numeric value?
It, both, saves a lot of screen space, and is a much practical solution than the currently implemented one.
p.d. I'm really amazed at Krita's development pace and direction. A great work you guys are doing, indeed! :)

Re: some thoughts
Just getting a drop-down slider was already really hard! We took the example for that from Photoshop 5.5 for OS X. Coding custom widgets like these takes a lot of time, so I cannot promise we'll be able to have the time to code something like you mention.

The widget is really simple, so simple I would say it's almost the absense of it what makes it so great:
Basically that would be all. If you have any doubt I am willing to help.

Re: Adobe patents/copyright on widgets?
There can't be any copyright on this. FLTK is using such wifgets a while now. I really like the concept. Agreed, I don't like the way KDE is mostly using MS Windows like widgets. Toolkits like FLTK provide some astonishingly well though widgets, take the file selectors for example - just intuitive and simple.
By sebastian at Fri, 2006/09/08 - 5:00am
Re: some thoughts
I'm personally less then impressed by these widgets. They are quite unlike anything I ever saw and I'm pretty sure many will not see it as something they can alter at all without being trained to do so.
And in the end the small buttons are not taking a lot of space at all so the advantages are pretty small to begin with.
By Thomas Zander at Wed, 2006/09/06 - 5:00am
Re: some thoughts
These widgets are *very* nicely usable. To be honest, I think opensource lacks a little in the widget-department. For example, there are STILL input fields for INTs from 0 to 100 that have up-and-down-arrows. How useless is that?
It would make sense if one could hold the field and then move the mouose to adjust the value, but who actually taps these two buttons?
Honestly, there's a lot of stuff, especially annoying in krita, karbon14 etc.
I know this sounds harsh, and we all know that I won't commit any coolSliderThingy.{h,cpp} to svn myself, but please, try these widgets first! You'll see, training is not needed!
By me at Wed, 2006/09/06 - 5:00am
Re: some thoughts
The Adobe widget looks like a subclassed QLabel with the mouseMove/mousePress/mouseRelease events overriden. It shouldn't be too hard to override. The difficult part would be to get the context menu working right IMHO.
By BenAtPlay at Wed, 2006/09/06 - 5:00am
Re: some thoughts
> And in the end the small buttons are not taking a lot of space at all so the advantages are pretty small to begin with.
It's true that those small up and down buttons do not take up much space, but I think they are entirely useless. Something like a QSlider is much better suited to vary a quantity over a fixed range. It seems to me that this proposed widget is basically a slider without actually showing it. How about temporarily displaying the slider when it's in "drag mode"?
By the way, what is this context menu good for? If I understand you correctly, you can already enter a specific value by simply clicking on the widget,
By ac at Wed, 2006/09/06 - 5:00am
Re: some thoughts
- The "Edit Values..." option in the context menu mainly allows the user to redefine the span of the slider (its Mínimum and Maximum values). This is sometimes useful in certain cases where the default span is so big that you lose precision while dragging (perhaps changing from 1 to 2 is already a great change in the effect, but as the slider goes from -1000 to + 1000, each time you drag the value changes too much and the slider turns "incontrolable", so lowering the span of the slider increases this precision while dragging and makes it comfortable again).
- The other useful option in the context menu, is one allowing to "Reset" the value to their default state. Good after you've been experimenting and want to return safe home. :)
p.s. I completely agree on the current state of sliders in Qt/KDE, I never use them, to me they are useless and I end entering values by hand, which is very disrupting, workflow wise.
By Gabriel Gazzán at Wed, 2006/09/06 - 5:00am
Re: some thoughts
> p.s. I completely agree on the current state of sliders in Qt/KDE
I really meant the up and down buttons to the right of numeric input boxes, not the sliders.
By Gabriel Gazzán at Thu, 2006/09/07 - 5:00am
Re: some thoughts
I thing that the beauty of this kind of "hidden slider" is that the precision is not restricted to the small screen space where the slider resides.
Let me explain myself:
With this "hiden slider" paradigm the extension is also "virtual", so in theory it could be made as long as necessary to make the slider progress in a much more soft way, making it more useful.
The other thing I would like to refute, is that this kind of solution is not intuitive.
Finally, I teach Adobe and 3D animation programs since more than 5 years ago, and let me say this is one of the features people love at first sight in the new versions of Adobe programs, perhaps followed by the new dockable option palettes (something Krita already has! kudos!)

Re: some thoughts
I tried to create a spinbox that you can control using your mouse. Its only a hack, you have to be a little careful with the mouse, I should probably make it slower.
In my opinion, its a lot nicer than to use those small buttons (phew!) or enter a number with the keypads.

Re: Yes
I didn't found any 1MByte screenshots (maybe someone fixed them), and loading them and saving back with either krita or the gimp give the same results as the compression is done by libpng...

kformula edition
Just a small question, is it possible to use kformula without using the mouse? I means to do something like OOmath2 or latex. It's so more easy to write the mathematical formula directly.

There are some features that allow to avoid mouse to some point. Take a look to handbook's Chapter 5: http://docs.kde.org/development/en/koffice/kformula/advanced.html , specially Name Insertion and Definite Integrals and Limits.
As Cyrille has said, further improvements are already in the todo list :-)

Automatic Heading Recognition
Hope it does not only work with
but also the other big header scheme:
Sometimes you have to use another level below (1), (2): Greek letters alpha, beta, gamma. More levels aren't recommended, though. Still, I've seen a variant with the levels below (1), (2) labelled (a) and (aa).
Additionally, it would be totally cool if KWord could automatically generate a table of contents from these headings (with indentation, page number and space filled in between) like:
I think MS Office can do it (by referencing an index; the headers then get recognized after they get assigned to a formatting level -- manually!)
If that would work, academic/scientific essays would almost write themselves ;-)
By Anonymous at Wed, 2006/09/06 - 5:00am
Re: Automatic Heading Recognition
I've gotten this to work in OOo using styles. Styles can be very powerful if used correctly, and you can use different numbering systems as you indicated. I, too, am hoping for this feature in KWord. It would be nice if, by KDE 4, I could be using all the KDE apps full-time. The progress is amazing. Great work all around.

Oscars 2012: Michelle Williams' Dress Took 300 Hours to Make
Best Actress nominee Michelle Williams chose a Louis Vuitton dress with a peplum waist for her big night, and played up the strapless neckline with a Fred Leighton for Forevermark necklace that featured 30 carats worth of brilliant-cut diamonds. Fun fact: The dress took over 300 hours to make at the atelier in Paris, the label said in a statement, using silk mousseline and organza ribbons. And the My Week With Marilyn star had to pool her friends to clarify the color. "I've been asking everyone what color it is, and they say it's coral or maybe pomegranate," she said of the hue. For the record, Louis Vuitton officially called it "burnt orange." Tell us: Do you like her look?

Marmalade Cocktail
(6 People)
By its bitter-sweet taste this cocktail is especially suited to be a luncheon aperitif.
Place the following mixture in the shaker:
2 Dessertspoonsful Orange Marmalade. (1 tsp. D'Arbo Bitter Orange Marmalade)
The Juice of 1 big or 2 small Lemons. (Juice 1/2 small lemon)
4 Glasses Gin. (2 oz Death's Door Gin)
(Dash Simple)
Shake carefully and pour out, squeezing a piece of orange rind into each glass.
As usual re-doing the recipe for 1.
The lemons I found last week were a bit on the green side. When I tasted it before shaking, it wasn't quite there. Definitely needed a little extra simple to bring it into line.
An enjoyable cocktail! A bit of a pain to double strain, due to the marmalade.
This post is one in a series documenting my ongoing effort to make all of the cocktails in the Savoy Cocktail Book, starting at the first, Abbey, and ending at the last, Zed.

Car Crashes into Swimming Pool - 2012 Recap
In our version of the 'Darwin Awards' - we list some of the year's most distracted drivers. Here's 10 examples from the last year of drivers who ended up driving their cars into someone's backyard swimming pool, and some of the heros that helped save them.
January 24, 2012 - Fresno, California.
While attempting to avoid a parked motorbike, this driver plowed through a garden wall and into a swimming pool. No injuries reported, only property damage. Landing in the shallow end, the car did not completely submerge. After the water pressure equalized, rescue personnel were able to open the car door.
March 23, 2012 - Vancouver, Washington.
Firefighters later found the driver, who had left the scene. In this bizarre crash, the car flipped over a fence and slid down a steep hill, landing backwards, onto an automatic pool cover - which amazingly supported the small car. The driver was taken to a local hospital for treatment. A very tall crane was used to lift the car from the pool, over the house to the roadway. See how they got the car out. video
April 23, 2012 - Pembroke Pines, Florida
The driver of a classic 1968 Camaro is OK after losing control of his car, crashing through a fence and a screen enclosure around the pool. Pool Owner Bertha Aguilera descrivbed the scene as they arrived home after a dinner out. 'Two tires sticking up. Two tire" as she motioned angrily with her fingers. Firefighters later suggested that the accelerator pedal may have become stuck.
May 17, 2012 - Stockton, California
The driver of a stolen vehicle, being pursued by police in a high speed chase, plows through a fence and into a backyard pool. The quick thinking thief escaped through the sun roof of the vehicle and fled on foot. The driver was later apprehended and charged for reckless driving and endangerment, in addition to grand theft auto.
June 20, 2012 - Escondido, California.
A woman was critically injured when a car, driven by her boyfriend, went off the side of a road and landed upside down in a swimming pool along a stretch of road known to residents as "rollercoaster road".
Neighbor Jarit Welles saw the dazed driver had freed himself, so he dove in the pool to rescue the badly hurt girl. He then performed CPR until paramedics arrived. Hero. Unfortunately, the 23 year old woman died weeks later.
July 1, 2012 - Jackson, New Jersey
A 65 year old woman clipped a passing vehicle on a narrow street, and swerved off the road, across a yard - coming to rest in an unopened pool. The driver of the car she clipped was off-duty firefighter Vincent Schwartz. Police statements say that Schwartz dove into the pool and broke the window out to rescue the driver of the partially submerged vehicle.
August 2, 2012 - Brockton, Massachusetts.
A motorhome owner, while backing up his 30 foot motorhome, suffered a medical condition and lost control of the vehicle, swerving into his neighbors inground swimming pool. The driver was rescued by the pool owner, Tom Little.
"He definitely saved the guy," Little's daughter, Elizabeth, told CBS Boston. "If my dad wasn't out there, it wouldn't have been a good day."
September 8, 2012 - Malden, Massachusetts.
Rescue workers responded to the 911 call when an 85 year old neighbor, put the car in reverse, instead of drive, and stepped on the gas. He crashed through a fence and landed in the pool. Neighbor Tom Cheffro jumped in the pool and managed to get the push the window down, unlatch the seat belt, and pull the dazed driver to safety. video
October 16, 2012 - Chandler, Arizona
A man lost control of his car, crashing through a brick wall, and into a backyard swimming pool. Neighbors called 911 after hearing the crash, The driver was taken to the hospital as a precaution. Neighbor Joan Georges reported that the driver crawled out through the passenger's side door, and was "covered in blood". The driver told her that he swerved to avoid hitting a dog, when he lost control of his car.
October 26, 2012 - Smyrna, Georgia
3 men who witness an out of control car plunge into a swimming pool after plowing through a fence, jump in to help remove the driver, who was trapped within the car as it rapidly filled with water. The 29 year old man, who had apparently suffered a seizure, was not injured and was thankful that bystanders were able to assist.
In most cases, nobody gets hurt. In some cases, most notably the Escondido accident, submersion of a few minutes leaves the occupants brain-dead.
The homeowner is left to negotiate with insurance companies and arrange for removal, repairs and clean-up. The pool is usually in need of repairs, and the oils and gasoline spilled in the pool will require draining and cleaning. The cars? Most probably a complete loss, or 'totaled' by the insurance company.
You would think that these pools are located on high trafficked, high speed roads, but most of these car crashes into pools occurred on residential streets with low speed limits.
If your pool is close to the street, you may want to place large landscape boulders within the path, although that may not stop these freak accidents from happening.
Good Luck - hope you don't end up on this list for 2013!

Compose…to formulate, devise, think up, produce, invent, orchestrate, choreograph.
As quilters we do all of the above to create the compositions that are our quilts. The fabrics, colors, blocks, and how we use the space in our quilts are some of what we consider as we design and make our quilts. Composition is the focus for Week 6 of the 100 Days of Modern Quilting.
We'll look at how quilters use negative space in their quilts.
We'll see traditional blocks used in interesting ways.
And how even a touch of color can change the composition of a quilt.
We hope you will be inspired by the quilters this week and their insights into composing their quilts.
