I proclaim myself to be a real conservative Republican, I am as conservative as a person can get. But and it's a big one I have been known to cross party lines when the candidates were better, remember when Bob Kerry was on the democratic primary ticket. I changed partys officially and voted for him. When he lost I changed back and have stayed republican ever since. If the Democrats finally find a guy worth voting for I'll vote for it but not until.
jjcarver 8 years, 6 months ago
Voting is a civil responsibility that cannot be taken to earnestly. When we vote we are electing the individuals that are to run various parts of this great nation. It is for this reason that when I vote I do not follow along any political party lines. I believe that we need to have both parties to make this country work. In fact I believe that maybe two political parties are not enough. I know their car many qualified candidates out there for each different sopt that candidates are running for from the local to the national and everything in between. When I see on the air all the claimes that one party makes about the other party or one candidate against the other candidate It is discussing. For instance the presidental election for this year. Their have been so many negative adds about each candidate posted by the other candidate or their party and then at the end there is always this statement,"My name is ????? and I approve this message. Come on now, everyone has a few skeletons in their closet. Does this make them less qualified for that office? I say that one should listen closely to both candidates and see how many times their story changes according to which group they are addressing at that time. This goes on in both parties. I say that the best voter is the informed voter. So with this in mind I say look at the history of each candidate, listen to their views and do not make up your mind according to which political they represent. I found this quote while doing my daily Bible study that fits very appropriately here. That is Matthew 7 verse 1 in the New International Version of the Bible.
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
For me personally, I find it very difficult to do this. I still have a lot of growing to do in this area of my life; that is, to love people when I hate and even despise what they are doing. I am still very human and subject to mistakes. So when you make your selection for the president of the united states remember to know what each candidate is for and their recond. When you judge remember that someday, somewhere you will be judged by the same standard you use to judge others. Would you like to be doing what the person you are voting for? Think hard, go out and vote! Thank you.

Handling CSV Files in Python
As a buddy of mine always says "the nice thing about standards is that there's so many to choose from". Take CSV files for example. CSV, of course, stands for "Comma Separated Values", more often than not though, it seems that CSV files use tabs to separate values rather than commas. And let's not even mention field quoting. If you deal with CSV files and you use Python the csv module can make your life a bit easier.
Dealing with CSV files in Python probably couldn't be much easier. For example purposes, let's use the following CSV file that contains 3 columns "A", "B", and "C D":
$ cat test.csv A,B,"C D" 1,2,"3 4" 5,6,7
The following python program reads it and displays its contents:
import csv
ifile = open('test.csv', "rb")
reader = csv.reader(ifile)
rownum = 0
for row in reader:
# Save header row.
if rownum == 0:
header = row
colnum = 0
for col in row:
print '%-8s: %s' % (header[colnum], col)
colnum += 1
rownum += 1
When run it produces:
$ python csv1.py A : 1 B : 2 C D : 3 4 A : 5 B : 6 C D : 7
In addition, the csv module provides writer objects for writing CSV files. The following Python program converts our test CSV file to a CSV file that uses tabs as a value separator and that has all values quoted. The delimiter character and the quote character, as well as how/when to quote, are specifed when the writer is created. These same options are available when creating reader objects.
import csv
ifile = open('test.csv', "rb")
reader = csv.reader(ifile)
ofile = open('ttest.csv', "wb")
writer = csv.writer(ofile, delimiter='\t', quotechar='"', quoting=csv.QUOTE_ALL)
for row in reader:
Running it produces:
$ python csv2.py $ cat ttest.csv "A" "B" "C D" "1" "2" "3 4" "5" "6" "7"
My first task when starting to use the csv module was to write a function to try to determine what format the CSV file was in before opening it so that I could deal with commas and tabs and different quoting conventions:
import os
import sys
import csv
def opencsv(filename):
tfile = open(filename, "r")
line = tfile.readline()
if line[0] == '"':
quote_char = '"'
quote_opt = csv.QUOTE_ALL
elif line[0] == "'":
quote_char = "'"
quote_opt = csv.QUOTE_ALL
quote_char = '"'
quote_opt = csv.QUOTE_MINIMAL
if line.find('\t') != -1:
delim_char = '\t'
delim_char = ','
tfile = open(filename, "rb")
reader = csv.reader(tfile, delimiter=delim_char, quotechar=quote_char, quoting=quote_opt)
return (tfile, reader)
Being new to the csv module and making the common mistake of not reading the whole "man" page, I of course failed to notice that the csv module already contains something to do this called the Sniffer class. I'll leave using it as an exercise for the reader (and in this case the writer also).

csv content formatting at csv file level
I am writing out to csv files a lot using csv module: The content if fairly 3 to 6 lines for each cell. But when I launch the created csv file which is different every time I run it due to timestamp embedded in the file name, the cell only shows few of the text.
Is there any function or fomatting along with the csv module which would enable the csv files to show all text for a cell for every cell instead of dragging the columns wider or going to format and autoformat each time.
eg. POWERUPREASON : 0x00000080
BL_VERSION : 0x00000005
UBOOT_VERSION : 0x00000000
Above is content for one cell, but the generated cell in file shows only this much text "POWERUP" when I drag the cell it shows all text but not initially. Please help
how to control precision with csv write
I am writing & reading to both csv files (using the csv module) and to MS SQL databases (using pymssql). By default, they use different numeric precision levels. Specifically, the csv module uses only 12 digits while the DB module uses 17 digits. I may at times need precision greater than 12 digits, but I won't need beyond 17 digits. So I can use the pymssql default. But mostly, I'd like to know how to adjust these precision levels so that I have some control over it.
Here is an example small code, but it's trivial to test out in whichever way you want:
import csv
myWriter = csv.writer(sys.stdout)
myWriter.writerow ( ('whatever', 12.345678901234567890) )
will yield:
testing, 12.3456789012
(12 digits, total)
I know that I could do some sort of manipulation line by line, however the data that I am going to save is quite large, both in having many columns (of varying types) and in having many rows.
I have read that python, by default, prints only to 12 decimal points precision. I am therefore hoping that is some sort of default that I can adjust, maybe with a command looking something like:
or something similar to change all print defaults to 17. Ideally, I'd like to change something global like that so that I can take a very large list of tuples and just do the following:
and that's it.
I am not sure how this thread works, but if I am not automatically notified via the e-mail address I provided, could you please e-mail any response to this.is.mvw@gmail? I don't check python or linux web pages frequently, as I am normally not working with either at any developer level.
Convert to string
If there is a way to change the default formatting precision for numbers I'm not aware of it.
A fairly simple workaround would be to convert your numbers to strings before writing them. For example:
myWriter = csv.writer(sys.stdout) nstr = '%0.19f' % 12.345678901234567890 myWriter.writerow ( ('whatever', nstr) )

Hi Mitch,
Thanks so much for the suggestion! Somehow I hadn't though of that. :( I normally like to keep my variables in their "native form", but it doesn't matter if I'm sending it to a file anyway.
this tutorial saved the day! thanks a million...
CSV help
How i can write this using CSV as input will be in CSV file.
a = 1
b = 2
c = 3
If i print a then it should give 1
If i print b then it should give 2
and so on..........
Not clear
It's not at all clear what you're asking.

How would you select clumns to put in new file
I came accross this code for perl:
perl -e " @cols=(1, -1, 2); while(<>) { s/\r?\n//; @F=split /\t/, $_; print join( qq~\t~, @F[@cols]), qq~\n~ } warn qq~\nChose columns ~, join( qq~, ~, @cols), qq~ for $. lines\n\n~ " all_cols > some_cols_chosen
and I am trying to get a python code that does the same and will allow me to write say only the first 13 columns from a csv file to a new file.
more info
How about if i want to output it becoming...
1 : 2
1 : 3 4
5 : 6
5 : 7
Try this
This should do it:
import csv
ifile = open('test.csv', "rb")
reader = csv.reader(ifile)
rownum = 0
for row in reader:
colnum = 0
for col in row[1:]:
print '%-8s: %s' % (row[0], col)
colnum += 1
rownum += 1

Nice Post
Very nice. I use a lot of CSV files for data analysis using R. I hope to become more involved in building and standardizing options for doing data analysis in Python as Python opens up the world of 'real' programming languages: eventually using R's functionality with webapps/gtk/etc.
CSV Files to HTML
Hi !
I recently wrote a quick script to convert CSV files of the form: foo, bar, blah, blah into nice HTML displays. Here it is:
#!/usr/bin/python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- # CSV to HTML Converter # Amit K. Saha import csv import sys if len(sys.argv) < 2: print "Usage: ./csv-html.py " print print exit(0) # Open the CSV file for reading reader = csv.reader(open(sys.argv[1])) # Create the HTML file f_html = open(sys.argv[2],"w"); f_html.write('') for row in reader: # Read a single row from the CSV file f_html.write('');# Create a new row in the table for column in row: # For each column.. f_html.write('' + column + ''); f_html.write('') f_html.write('')
Hope it is useful!
Making the first example more Pythonic
That first code example reads a bit more cleanly if you use some standard Pythonisms (zip()
and using the reader as an iterator, calling next()
to get the header)
import csv
ifile = open("test.csv", "rb")
reader = csv.reader(ifile)
headers = reader.next()
for row in reader:
for header, col in zip(headers,row):
print "%-8s: %s" % (header, col)
Actually, I'm fairly new to Python programming so I can use all the tips you got. For others not familiar with the Python builtin function zip(), this is from the docs:
zip([iterable, ...])
This function returns a list of tuples, where the i-th tuple contains the i-th element from each of the argument sequences or iterables. The returned list is truncated in length to the length of the shortest argument sequence. When there are multiple arguments which are all of the same length, zip() is similar to map() with an initial argument of None. With a single sequence argument, it returns a list of 1-tuples. With no arguments, it returns an empty list.
In other words, for the example here, it pairs each column with the corresponding header. Using the first data row from the test file, zip(headers,row) would return:

'Brady Bunch' feud? Or no 'Brady Bunch' feud?
A planned reunion on the 'Today' show of the TV family did not happen this week and RadarOnline.com reported exclusively that a feud between Maureen McCormick and Eve Plumb was largely responsible.
Before you could say, "Oh Marcia," they both denied it, but Christopher Knight's representative admitted in an email to RadarOnline.com: "Eve never does Brady press, especially if Maureen is involved. This went on for decades."
So now RadarOnline.com has reached out to the definitive authority to settle this matter once and for all. Barry Greenberg is the man who last brought the Brady Bunch together, serving as talent producer for the 2004 TV show, "The Brady Bunch 35th Anniversary Reunion Special: Still Brady After All These Years."
PHOTOS: The Brady Bunch, Then & Now
"Of course there's a Brady feud," Greenberg told RadarOnline.com, confirming that Marcia and Jan, er, Maureen and Eve, simply do not get along.
The root of the problem? Says Greenberg: "One of the teasers for Maureen McCormick's successful 2008 book "Here's My Story" included an alleged teenage kiss between her and Eve Plumb. Plumb denied the incident and was not amused."

Greenberg should know. He was not only the last person to reunite the Bradys, but he also managed McCormick at one time.

Putin orders massive Russian military drills amid Ukraine tensions
By CAROL J. WILLIAMS | Los Angeles Times | Published: February 26, 2014
MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday ordered a test of the "battle readiness" of military forces deployed in the western and central areas of the country, a likely show of Kremlin muscle to reassure ethnic Russians in Ukraine that their rights and interests will be defended.
The announcement of the "immediate and thorough" readiness exercises was made by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and reported by the Interfax news agency.
"Putin ordered confirmation of troop capabilities for action in the event of a crisis situation that presents a threat to the military security of the country," as well as anti-terrorism and emergency response readiness, Shoigu was quoted as saying by Interfax.
The readiness test was ordered amid growing tensions in Ukraine between the Russian-allied eastern areas of the restive country and pro-Western political forces now in control of the capital, Kiev, after a rebellion that drove President Viktor Yanukovich to flee his office.
In a televised reading of the military drills order, Shoigu suggested that the readiness maneuvers running through Monday and involving 150,000 troops, 880 tanks, 90 aircraft and 80 vessels were unrelated to events in Ukraine.
Acting Ukrainian President Olexandr Turchynov was to address a public rally in Kiev's Independence Square late Wednesday to announce proposed appointments to an interim Cabinet to govern Ukraine until a presidential election to replace Yanukovich on May 25 and parliamentary elections expected over the summer.
The current parliament, now largely devoid of lawmakers from Yanukovich's Party of Regions, who either defected to the opposition or retreated to their home bases, was to vote on the nominations Thursday.
Russia had been backing Yanukovich with a promised $15-billion package of loans and energy subsidies after he angered liberal and nationalist politicians in late November by scrapping an association agreement with the European Union. That pact would have enhanced Ukrainian economic ties with the West and opened a path to eventual membership in the EU.
Yanukovich's rejection of the EU deal in favor of strengthening ties with Russia, for centuries the dominant political force in Ukraine, set off three months of demonstrations that escalated into rioting last week and a bloody crackdown by security forces. At least 82 people died in the confrontations before an EU-brokered peace accord and agreement on early elections.
Pro-Western opposition politicians who led the rebellion have filled the power vacuum in Kiev, which triggered demonstrations in Russian-speaking areas of eastern and southern Ukraine, where industry remains elaborately entwined with Russia's economy and Moscow keeps its Black Sea fleet based in Sevastopol.
Several dozen Russians worried about their status in a potentially opposition-ruled Ukraine have been demonstrating for the last three days outside public buildings in Sevastopol, Simferopol, Odessa and other southern cities, some demanding that Russia protect them or that the region secede and annex to Russia.
On Wednesday, rival demonstrations involving thousands of Crimean Tatars, who were exiled from Russia to Crimea by dictator Josef Stalin during World War II, pledged allegiance to Kiev and their place within Ukraine.
Shouts of "Ukraine is not Russia" and "Allahu Akbar" could be heard from the crowd of historically Muslim Tatars as they waved the yellow and blue Ukrainian and Tatar flags in defiance of the considerably smaller pro-Russian turnout, according to news agencies and Ukrainian television.
The Kremlin has taken a cautious approach to the evolving crisis in Ukraine, a country of 46 million and arguably Russia's most important ally as most of Moscow's exports of natural gas pass through pipelines on Ukrainian territory.
In Moscow, the speaker of the upper house of the Russian parliament dismissed warnings by Russian nationalist politicians that the Kremlin would take military action against Ukraine if it senses any threat to ethnic Russians, who number about 7.5 million, or the almost one in four Ukrainians who claim Russian as their mother tongue.
"This scenario is impossible," said Valentina Matvienko, speaker of the Federation Council. "Russia has been stating and reiterating its stance that we have no right and cannot interfere in domestic affairs of a sovereign state. We are for Ukraine as a united state, and there should be no basis for separatist sentiments."
Russian Presdient Vladimir Putin speaks in Moscow on Dec. 19, 2013.

White, Edison hungry for CIF-SS title
HUNTINGTON BEACH - An energetic voice pierced through the chilly air as darkness began to drape itself on Edison's football field.
"Effort! Effort! Effort!" Edison football coach Dave White barked to his players sprinting across the field.
"Two more to be a CIF champ!"
For Edison and White, the quest for an elusive CIF championship continues this week.
In his 27th season as the Chargers' coach, White will attempt to capture his first CIF-Southern Section title in four tries Friday when top-seeded Edison (12-1) takes on No. 3 seeded Villa Park (12-1) in the Southwest Division final at Angel Stadium at 7:30 p.m.
Edison, a longtime, large-school powerhouse, has lost in its last three appearances in the finals (2001, 2006, 2009) after claiming titles in 1970, 1979, 1980 and 1985.
"We're tired of being the bridesmaid," said offensive line coach Harry Schmidt, White's longest tenured assistant coach.
"It's time to break that spell."
White, 56, is hungry for a CIF championship. He was a star athlete at Edison and groomed as an assistant coach to take over the program. But White isn't making the pursuit this week about him. He wants his players to hoist the championship trophy.
"I've been fortunate enough to coach for 34 years and I've got a few more left in me," he said. "These seniors, this is their one chance."
Edison's latest opportunity for a CIF title arrives in their first season in the Southwest Division.
The Chargers, along with the rest of the Sunset League, were moved during the offseason from the Pac-5 Division, considered be the toughest division in the section, if not California.
The Marmonte League, which includes private school powers St. Bonaventure of Ventura and Oaks Christian of Westlake Village, took the Sunset League's place in the Pac-5.
The Chargers flourished under White in the Pac-5, previously known as Division 1. They were two-time runner-ups in the Pac-5 and once in Division 1.
Edison wanted to remain in the Pac-5 but is still excited about its chance in the Southwest.
The Chargers beat Villa Park earlier this season, 27-7.
"A championship is a championship," White said. "This is no easy division. Tustin and Foothill, Villa Park and Edison, I think, could beat any team on any given night."
The Chargers have the benefit of perspective. They played their usual sample of Pac-5 teams in the nonleague season, including Pac-5 finalist Mater Dei. Edison fell to the Monarchs, 20-14.
And in the end, the Chargers' Pac-5 pedigree still supplies fuel.
"If anything, we came out with a chip on our shoulder (this season) because we wanted to prove we're a Pac-5 school," senior quarterback Alek Torgersen said.
The Chargers also are motivated to win a title for White, who took over the program in 1986 from Bill Workman.
"We want to win it for him," Torgersen said of White. "He loves us. He would do anything for us and we would do anything for him."
White has produced some excellent teams.
Edison entered the 2009 Pac-5 final with a 13-0 record. But the Chargers and their vaunted passing attack fell to Servite, 16-6, on a rainy night at Angel Stadium.
Edison had defeated Servite earlier in the season, 23-9.
In 2006, the Chargers beat three private schools (Crespi of Encino, Servite, Santa Margarita) to reach the Pac-5 finals but fell to Orange Lutheran, 30-20, at Home Depot Center. Aaron Corp threw two touchdowns and ran for two more for the Lancers.
In 2001, Edison fell Long Beach Poly and running back Hershel Dennis, 42-28, in the Division 1 final at Angel Stadium. The Chargers were within six points with less than three minutes left.
"We've been in every finals game," Schmidt said. "We always had a chance to win it and just came up short."
White said the details will be important against Villa Park.
"All big games are (about) the little things – it's the turnovers, it's the penalties," he said. "It's going to be a close game, probably. It's probably going to come down to the team that turns it over the least amount of times."
Edison is seeking its first CIF title under White but the Chargers have enjoyed plenty of success under his watch.
His resume includes several outright or shared Sunset League titles, including six of the past seven. Edison also won its 200th game under White earlier this season.
"Coach White has done a great job," said Workman, who guided the Chargers to their CIF titles in 1979, '80 and '85 and a then-county record 32-game winning streak. "They're overdue (for a CIF title). Their record speaks for itself."
White was the quarterback on Workman's first team at Edison in 1973.
White went onto lead Orange Coast College to a mythical national title in 1975 and later played at Oregon State before returning to Edison.
Workman said White knew early on that he wanted to coach. White was an assistant on Workman's championship teams and then took the reins when Workman became the coach at Orange Coast College.
"He's a fiery competitor and his practices are not a cake-walk," said Workman, 71, who remains close to the Edison program.
White also knows how to relate to players. His sons, Matt, and, Hunter, played for him at Edison. His youngest son, Garrett, played receiver on the freshman team this fall and is now in basketball.
"Dave White always gets the most out of his players," Servite coach Troy Thomas said in a text message. "I enjoy coaching against him because our team will have to rise to the challenge."
White said he is committed to coach at Edison through Garrett's senior year, and then will evaluate. And if he departs without a CIF title?
"I think I can rest in peace if I don't win Friday night, and feel good about what I've done," White said. "But I would certainly like to win one."

ORLANDO, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Your doctor is supposed to be your medical confidante. The information you share is used to make or keep you healthy. Still, many of you omit critical details, distort the truth, or outright lie when questioned by your doctors. However, make no mistake, what you don't tell your doctor can hurt or kill you.
For many, the exam room feels like a courtroom. The doctor, a detective, judge, and jury all wrapped up in a single white lab coat, making it less than appealing to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth about their health.
"Hiding their medical history, social history, or social functioning could actually retard their treatment," Usman Siddiqui, MD, Cardiologist at Florida Hospital Orlando, told Ivanhoe.
"Withholding information is actually dangerous. We might be prescribing some medications that could be harmful for the patient," Swathy Kolli, MD, Cardiologist at Dr. P. Phillips Hospital, Orlando, told Ivanhoe.
Surveys say one of the most common lies patients tell their doctors are about drinking.
Too much alcohol leads to liver disease, high blood pressure, heart disease, and increases the risk of certain cancers. Also, drinking while using drugs, or taking prescription meds, can kill you.
"Sometimes you'll ask the patient, 'Do you do any drugs?' and they'll go, 'No.' Then you conduct a urine drug screen and it turns out to be positive," Dr. Kolli said.
Another common habit patients lie about is smoking.
Smokers typically pay 15 to 20 percent more for health insurance than non-smokers, but they also have a higher risk of developing diseases that are expensive to treat.
Another taboo topic for patients is sex partners.
"Sometimes the patients may not realize that it is important information for the doctor," Dr. Kolli explained.
The more partners you have, the more likely you are to have a STD, which means proper screenings are critical for you and your partners.
In the end, it's your choice, silence or solutions, but keep in mind, "we leave the judging behind," Dr. Siddiqui said.
Remember, doctors are bound by doctor-patient confidentiality and federal law to keep your info private. If you're still not comfortable, find a new doctor.

By NEKESA MUMBI MOODY
LOS ANGELES — With his 10 nominations, Eminem has the potential to sweep Sunday night's Grammy Awards – as well as win that elusive album of the year trophy, a category for which he's had three nominations but never a win.
His favored "Recovery" was 2010's best-selling album of the year and marked a major comeback for Eminem, who had been addled by a prescription drug addiction and critical malaise.
But the gifted and twisted rapper might get tripped up by some fierce competition, including a song that rivals him for coarseness – Cee Lo Green's "(Expletive) You," which is in competition with Eminem's "Love The Way You Lie," featuring Rihanna, in the record and song of the year categories.
Watch Music Choice Videos on xfinitytv.com
Also nominated in the album of the year category are Arcade Fire's "The Suburbs, Lady Gaga's "The Fame Monster," Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" and Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now."
"Need You Now" was the second best-selling album of last year, buoyed by the crossover success of its lovelorn title track. The country song is also nominated for record and song of the year.
Other nominees for record of the year include Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind," the New York native's anthem for his city featuring Alicia Keys, and rapper B.o.B's "Nothin' On You," with a melodious hook courtesy of Bruno Mars.
Although Mars is enjoying solo success on the charts now with "Just The Way You Are," which got him nominated for best pop male vocal performance, the bulk of his seven Grammy nominations come from his collaborative efforts. He is also a co-writer on "(Expletive) You" and his production group, the Smeezingtons, is up for producer of the year.
Watch Eminem's Chrysler Super Bowl Commercial:
"(Expletive) You" is an unlikely hit – a retro groove with a vulgar rebuke to a former girlfriend and her new lover. Its popularity was boosted when the clean version of the hit, "Forget You," was performed by Gwyneth Paltrow on Fox TV's "Glee." Paltrow and Green are slated to sing the song on the Grammy telecast on Sunday, along with Jim Henson's puppets, completing an ironic family-friendly transformation of a wash-your-mouth-out-with-soap song.
The collaboration is among the many buzz-worthy moments the Recording Academy has planned for the Grammy telecast, which is performance packed and only doles out a tiny fraction of the academy's 109 categories. The rest are presented in a pre-show ceremony.
Mick Jagger – along with Raphael Saadiqis – is set to perform a tribute to the late soul great Solomon Burke, marking the first time Jagger has sung on the Grammy stage. Also featured on the show will be music legends Bob Dylan and Barbra Streisand. Ailing icon Aretha Franklin will be honored in absentia by Jennifer Hudson, Christina Aguilera and Martina McBride, Yolonda Adams, and Florence Welch of the best new artist nominee Florence and the Machine.
Another best new artist hopeful, Justin Bieber, is set to sing with his friend Jaden Smith (son of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith) and Bieber's mentor, Usher. Eminem is also slated to perform with his mentor, Dr. Dre.
Other artists expected to perform on Sunday's show include Bruno Mars, Arcade Fire, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Drake and Rihanna. The ceremony will be broadcast live on CBS from Staples Center in Los Angeles.
Grammy Lifetime Achievement Awards were presented Saturday to Julie Andrews, Roy Haynes, the Juilliard String Quartet, the Kingston Trio, the Ramones, Dolly Parton and George Beverly Shea.

Seems to me a virtual machine is probably overkill in the hamshack? The PC in my shack "triple-boots". I have Windows XP, Windows 98 (configured to boot to a command prompt as "DOS 7"), and Red Hat Linux all installed. When the machine is started, a menu appears asking me which operating system I want to use. Whichever operating system I choose gets 100% of system resources and full direct access to the hardware. (how much of that access it passes along to the applications depends on the OS!) All of the necessary software is available free under the GNU Public License. WinXP can see the files in the Win98 partition. (I think with a bit more work I could get it to work the other way around, and if I wasn't completely lazy both sides could interchange with the Linux side too.) Downsides: - Only one of the three operating systems can be active at a time. - Because I installed Win98 and Linux first, WinXP ended up installed on the "F drive" - F:\Program Files\N1MM Logger, F:\Windows\System, etc... Most programs don't care but a few have the drive letter C hard-coded & end up dumping files in the Windows 98 partition. - It was a bit difficult to set up. - In my case, the PC has adequate traditional parallel and serial ports. If you're having to use USB serial/parallel ports or multiport cards that don't have DOS drivers, multibooting to DOS/Win98 isn't going to give you access to those ports. == Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View, TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list firstname.lastname@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/cq-contest |

It's no secret that energy efficiency is a hot topic in California, given this year's spate of rolling blackouts. One response to the crisis could be found in Berkeley, CA, where, as part of a national energy conservation initiative, businesses and residences on Telegraph Avenue between Channing and Durant Streets were relamped with energy-efficient Philips lightbulbs. The retrofit was intended as a blueprint for the rest of the country, to emphasize the ease with which energy-efficient ...

A few weeks ago in we told you that BODEGA GIRLS had swung down to New York to record a new track with a couple of former Bostonians: producer Isom Innis -- the a touring member of Foster the People and the beautiful brains behind underrated local electro-pop outfit Southern Belle, who had a great track in 2010 called "Walk Out" -- and collaborator Anthony Rossomando, who before hooking up with Dirty Pretty Things, Klaxons, and the Libertines was known around this 'hood as a guitarist of the Damn Personals.
That's a lot of Boston magic working the scene down I-95, so it's no surprise the results are pretty cool. Today the Bodega crew released the fireball track, "Surf's Up America," which singer/guitarist Jake Brennan describes as a lyrical laundry list of "American things that don't suck." It's got shout-outs to MCA, Detroit, Jon Voight, Kurt Cobain, Bushwick, Biggie, Grandmaster Flash, and even goes a bit international with what we're guessing is a nod to the Undertones' 1978 punk anthem "Teenage Kicks," a staple of Bodega's dance parties at the Middlesex Lounge. Shit is rad.
"Surfs Up America" was recorded at Converse's Rubber Tracks studio, the same bustling joint that helped birth Viva Viva's new upcoming double-7-inch. They get a shout-out here as well.
Download the track for the nice-price of free over at the Rubber Tracks Facebook page, and peep the promo video below.
On a side note: Hey Isom, let's get some new Southern Belle tracks making the rounds. We'll host them here at On The Download anytime.

Linus and tigers and bears, oh my!

This year's design was created by Matthew Pridemore.
"My wife Heidi Pridemore designs quilts for Quiltmaker and other magazines. I thought I'd try my hand at designing a block that would be simple to piece.

Catalyst Concepts
The Catalyst framework illustrates the breadth of areas addressed by the Catalyst methodology.
A specific program, project or outsourcing engagement will not necessarily include all life cycle phases and management areas, but the fact that they are available and already integrated is one of Catalyst's strengths.
Domains of Change
Catalyst views the business situation from six basic perspectives referred to as the domains of change:
Business Process. What opportunities exist to improve current processes to enhance business performance?
Organization. What change in culture, capabilities, roles, and training is needed to accomplish the necessary business change?
Location. What is needed in terms of geographic distribution of processes, people, technical infrastructure, data, and applications?
Data. What information content and structure is necessary to meet the business requirements?
Application. What application design best fulfills the requirements and how should the application be developed, integrated, tested, and deployed?
Technology. What are the hardware, system software, and communication network components needed to support the business and its systems?
Life Cycle Processes
Catalyst processes address all life cycle phases necessary for enterprise business change and continuous improvement:
- Vision and Strategy establishes the business vision and priorities and determines direction for subsequent initiatives.
- Architecture establishes the requirements, direction, and structure for the business and the supporting information systems.
- Development designs, builds, and tests the solution components (from all domains of change) that compose a release.
- Integration tests and incorporates solution components from the required change domains into a new or evolving systems environment.
- Deployment pilots and launches the operational systems, processes, and organizational change components to the organization.
- Operational services performs and supports defined service levels for the operation, maintenance, and support of the new or existing systems.
Management Processes
Catalyst addresses all the necessary management areas for overseeing large-scale business change and ongoing services:
- Enterprise and Portfolio Management
- Program Management
- Project Management
- Service Management
- Architecture and Engineering Management
- Management Support Processes

I purchased this gas dryer new (along with its companion washer) in January 2015. It was received and installed in February 2015. During seven months of use I have had two separate service appointments, one to replace defective tub bearings and another to replace the blower motor and fan housing. Very disappointing and disappointed.

Comments about GE 7.8 Cu.Ft. Metallic Carbon Front Load Gas Dryer:
I just had this dryer installed yesterday. Because my previous dryer of ten years conked out, I had loads of laundry building. I have completed three loads thus far and the dryer is doing a great job. I only gave four stars because the front door is "sticky" and "clunky."

Deep stretching for quads, and hams for 10 minutes => still doing wonders for my recovery
Everything felt good today. Went easy on deads and after my 315 set I decided to just pull 405 raw to see how it felt, and it felt gud
Quads started cramping today when I was walking to campus despite my deep stretching. Had to pause twice to stretch on my walk up (got some weird looks, haha)
I think I have 3 days left (rough guess), but I will be sad to see this end. Seems that the results just keep getting better the longer you run it. -
Alright forum bros
Been working on revising my report the past couple of days, hence my absence. Loss of sleep and lifting at irregular hours has caused a slight drop in my strength, but nothing too notable.
I have one more day left here . . .
Thursday Evening Chest, shoulders, tri's

* Heavy Incline dB Flys
60x8, 60x8, 40x13 => burnt out
Notes: Wasn't planning on lifting, was a long day on campus. Got home and was like, f that of course Im lifting . . . downed a cap of anabeta with a scoop of SP max and hit it nicely.
Today, Legs (different day, different mood)
Lower Body Power Day
* Pressing Power Movement: Squats
3 sets of 3-5 reps: bar x25, 95x8 (front), 135x5 (front), 225x3, 325x3, 330x2, 315x3 => ugh,
* Assistance pressing movement: Parallel Box Back Squats (pause reps)

* Assistance pressing movement: Parallel Box Front Squats (pause reps)
95x8, 135x5, 175x5, 195x5, 225x5 => 225 was tough, dont think Ive ever done 5 reps with it (especially pause-and-go reps)
* Assistance extension movement: Leg extensions
85x50, 70x20 drop 55x20 drop 40x15 drop 30x15 => squeezed a the top for the last dropset
* Muscular Endurance Hams: Seated Leg Curls
70x60, 55x60 => owwwww
* Standing Calf Raises (Machine), slow reps with squeeze at top
165x20, 165x20, 130x20 => ouch
I wasn't happy with my squat strength today so I decided to change it up and try box squat pause reps. Definitely found my weak area and these will be a staple in my two leg days.
Recomp effects haven't changed much, still noticeable. The real strength test will be my bench tomorrow, as Ive PR'd every week on my 3 rep max. Shooting for 260x3 this week! (yes pansy weight ) - 05-15-2011, 01:38 PM
Alright so scratch what I said yesterday about today being my last day; I found 4 more caps in my food bag
Power Chest and Shoulders
* Pressing Power Movement: Flat bench press
3 sets of 3-5 reps: bar x20, 105x15, 260x2, 245x3, 245x2.5
* Seated shoulder dB press:
60x10, 70x5, 75x5, 80x5
* Tricep Work: Incline Skull Crushers
70x10, 90x8, 100x8, 80x10
* Assistance Bench Press Movement: Flat Bench pause reps
135x8, 185x5, 185x5, 185x4 => went to failure on last set
* Seated dB lateral raises:
30x8, 35x8, 35x8, 35x8

* Face pulls with rope:
120x10, 130x10, 140x10, 150x10, 160x10
Tried warming up differently this week, and I dont think I responded well to the style. Still pushed up 260 twice which isnt bad but not where I wanted to be. The rest of my benching just felt weak after that (rightfully so after a max attempt)
Seated dB shoulder presses felt awesome today. I haven't done them in a couple months so it felt good to throw up 80s again.
All and all a good lifting day. Now I just need to finish up my report whenever my professor gets around to giving me his last set of revision recommendations - 05-15-2011, 07:08 PM
Oh, and I don't know why I haven't noted this before; but recovery time has definitely decreased.
I think I just took it for granted till it dawned on me today that my legs should be destroyed but they feel okay. Realized its been like that for a while, lol. -
just popped my last pill. going to get my final review, pics & measurements up tomorrow.

Alright, so I didnt get a chance to record my final review today, but I promise its coming.
Got my before and after pics up though
As you guys can see, bodyfat dropped fairly well and my strength has increased since starting anabeta. You could get the details yourself but I will sum up the important lifts and their deltas when I get the rest of my review up.
Was definitely awesome though. Will buy more when it is released. - 05-21-2011, 03:42 PM
Andrew's Final Review of PES Anabeta-01
I'll start with strength changes:
Flat Bench: 245x3 => 260x2
Deadlift: 425x1 => 455x1 +30lbs *
Squat: 325x3 => 325x3 maintained.
Auxiliary lifts increased as well.
* Previous 1 rep max on deadlift was 465x1 back in january
Before/After Measurements (flexed)
Arms(r/l): 15in / 15in
Calves(r/l): 15in / 14.5in
Thighs(r/l): 22in / 22.5/22in
Chest(chest, lats relaxed): 42in / 42in
Forearms(r/l): 12.5in/12.75in / 12.75/12.5
I need to note that this was all done while cutting. If the pictures above show anything its a loss of body fat and a small increase in shoulder size. I expected to see more of a loss especially on my legs, but I was pleasantly surprised by this.
INTENSE workouts: I compared what I did today to what I did last week and it was completely different. My overall mood and strength was definitely worse off today. Kind of ticked about it, haha
Strength gains on a calorie deficit: Yup, this one is a big one. My weight dropped from ~174 when I started to 169 and some of lifts increased in weight. Others stayed the same, yeah, but some did increase. That alone should illustrate the anabolic properties on its own.
Hungry was bad in the beginning, but I just got used to it.
Recomposition: While Im sure this product did something with my body composition, diet dictates it more than anything. Needless to say, I did lose bodyfat and maintained (/increased) strength.
This might sound childish, but the only thing that bugs me is that I can't get more of it. Nothing worse than being in contest prep and seeing your strength start to drop. I felt it today and just wish I had more to hold off those losses for another month.
Well, that and the smell wasn't too great => obviously not much of a concern.
Obviously I would recommend this. I can only imagine the gains I could've had if I took this bulking. Hoping I have the chance to pick up some for that purpose.
One last note, if (when) I do run this again, I'll be picking up two bottles, as I didn't really notice effects until the end of week 2 beginning of week 3. Others did respond differently though, so this is probably just my body. Regardless I thought I would throw it out there.
Big thanks to natty for sending out a bottle for me to run, also thanks to everyone that contributed to the thread. This was for you guys so I hope you learned something. - 05-21-2011, 04:05 PM
Great job! (comments in Andrew's Review of PES's Anabeta-01)

That's a OEM of the somic mh463!
Good find, they are very good sounding given that they are indeed the somic's.
Here read this http://www.head-fi.org/t/637699/50mm-driver-open-air-full-size-cans-pop-out-of-nowhere-sound-amazing
They should be great for the money, and great in general I have a somic shipping to me right now from China, so when you posted that link I cursed myself.
Seems like you don't recommend buying them from China?
I'd be glad if you could verify my purchase by telling me your first impressions of them, when/if they arrive!
They will arrive but it's going to take a while, the order status is on "collection" forever.
I guess I can't really complain with free shipping and a total cost of 40 dollars..
How the Chinese do it I don't know.

Wakolda: Cannes Review
Noted Argentine director Lucia Puenzo films her novel about a Nazi war criminal hiding out in Patagonia.
Argentine novelist and filmmaker Lucia Puenzo has never been one to shy away from tricky subjects, beginning with the psychological study of a young hermaphrodite in her debut feature XXY. Wakolda benefits from similarly subtle treatment of loaded material, in this case the fictional story of a family in Patagonia who discover they are hosting the infamous Nazi criminal Josef Mengele in their cozy hotel. The doctor's sinister interest in their 12-year-old daughter is as chilling as any horror film, but Puenzo puts it in the larger context of Argentina's German community and how it sheltered war criminals, giving it more depth and greater interest for art house audiences. Still the story-telling is a little too pat to deliver the surprise moments that reveal character or sweep audiences up emotionally. The film remains a creepy story with a lot of morbid fascination, set off by the captivating young Florencia Bado in her first screen role.
Tales of Nazis hiding out in South America have fuelled several successful films like The Boys from Brazil, which featured Gregory Peck as Dr. Mengele. This story, adapted from Puenzo's own novel, begins on a wind-swept beach in 1960 where a stranger watches little girls at play. It's Helmut Gregor (Spanish actor Alex Brendemuhl, almost unrecognizable behind his mustache), who calls the pretty little Lilith (Bado) "a perfect specimen" and draws her in his sketchbook.
Making friends with her family, he follows them to Bariloche, a remote town full of Swiss-style chalets and blond German speakers. He eventually moves into the spacious hotel run by Eva (Natalia Oreiro) and Enzo (Diego Peretti). On the lake outside, hydroplanes land and discharge mysterious passengers, while Gregor opens a lab in town to conduct "genetic research" on racial purity. Add a German school with photos of alumni standing beside the Nazi flag, and the backdrop becomes even more foreboding.
The good doctor is particularly interested in Lilith, who's considerably under-sized for her age. After gaining her trust by offering to fix her doll Wakolda, he suggests he give her shots that will make her bones grow. Taunted by her schoolmates, who call her a dwarf, and flattered by his attention, Lilith begs her parents to agree.
The real-life Mengele, who fled responsibility for his experiments on human beings at Auschwitz, is said to have continued his cruel work on pregnant women and children in South America, before dying in Brazil in 1979. Puenzo plays on these historical facts to weave a highly believable tale around his stay in Argentina. Apart from the damage Gregor does to Lilith, he also ingratiates himself with her mother, who is pregnant with twins -- one of Mengele's fixations. Only Enzo, the father, is perceptive enough to see through his charm.
The wide open spaces of Patagonia offer cinematographer Nicolas Puenzo a fantastic backdrop for the story, making the little family seem more vulnerable.

H. Hamlin telegraph to Lt. Charles Bridges, Washington, 1864
Contributed by Maine Historical Society
H. Hamlin sent a telegraph to Lt. Charles Bridges, a Castine native on leave from service as quartermaster of the 8th Infantry Corps d'Afrique in Louisiana. Bridges received the telegraph at Searsport.
The message reads: "Cannot" get "it". H. Hamlin is likely Vice President Hannibal Hamlin. His son Cyrus Hamlin (1839-1867) was the colonel commanding the 8th Infantry Corps d'Afrique.
The subject of the message is not clear but may be related to Bridges' efforts to leave the military because of chronic illness or his desire to get a friend, John C. Phinney of Stockton, transferred to the 8th Infantry Corps d'Afrique.

From Christie Graham Photography… When I heard from international model Andrea Milner about her recent engagement to handsome Christopher Lowe, I immediately thought "styled engagement shoot!" I collaborated with the talented Chanel from Love of Fair events to pull together some of Vancouver's finest wedding vendors. The focus? Details, details, details! Our lovely team created a gorgeous, vintage-inspired, champagne dessert date in the forest. I have to admit, I'm a lover of natural light, and choose to work nearly 100% of the time with it, so when the sun went down to create this golden, soft, hazy light, I scooped up Andrea and Christopher for some ultra-romantic photos in the tall grasses. A well-received addition to our set of creative details. To name a few, keep your eyes peeled for a hand-crafted pallet table, wine crates topped with succulents and roses, chandeliers hanging from the trees and tall candelabras. All perfect pieces to include in the soon-to-be Parisian wedding, don't you think? Romance.

Michelle Williams Too Busy For Destiny Child Reunion [#BIGDUMMYFILES]
Maybe Michelle Williams is trying to throw us off so as not to spoil the "surprise," but one of the Destiny's Child replacements says there will no reunion at the Super Bowl next Sunday because her schedule is already booked. Huh ? What does Michelle Williams the most insignificant member of Destiny Child have to do, that is more important than the Super Bowl ?
Here is what she told People:
Williams says reports of a reunion for the pop group are merely unconfirmed rumors – and that they're "not true." "I'm going to be in the musical Fela!," she told WRUG Media in a recent interview. "I hate to disappoint the people and tell them that it's not true." Williams is headlining a world tour of the Tony Award-winning show, which kicks off Tuesday in Washington, D.C.
Yawn, I hope this is just an attempt to throw everyone off because if not she is having serious delusions of grander. Destiny's Child fans would be more impressed if Beyonce brought out Letoya Lucket. Matter of fact I would be more excited if they brought back Farrah Franklin who was in the group for like two weeks. I really hope she is joking because I can't take her serious.

I have it: 72 I had it: 74 I want it: 25 My signature: 1
Escada Acte 2 is one of floral aldehydic perfumes, created in 1995. It was designed by Ilias Ermenidis. Top notes are enriched with cozy and fresh green notes with juicy-sweet tangerine, orange and bergamot. A heart blooms with floral accords of intoxicant rose, freesia, jasmine, mimosa and orris. A base is refreshed with cedar, warmed and softened with vanilla and sandalwood, and sweetened with cinnamon.
The bottle Acte 2, just like the rest of the Escada Sport collection, was designed by Theirry Lecoule DESIGN.

I'm not sure how to describe how awful this fragrance is outside of the fact that this makes me think of urine in a bottle. I've tried smelling Escada Acte 2 several times over the past few months, but I just can't stand it.
I worked retail when this came out. The original Escada was a huge success...but as for Acte II? Not so much. Something about the chemical make up of this fragrance didn't sit well with most customers. I tried to sell it, but never could convince people to buy it. We considered it a dog and it was gone a short time later. Its not a bad scent, mildly flowery and fruity, and it might smell good on some skin types...just not an over all crowd pleaser.
This to my nose is similar to Bill Blass Amazing n Jivago 24k both of which do not work on my skin at all.. but on my gf fantastic. I'll gift this to her!
Jai - I think in general the cat urine smell gives it away. That the perfume is off. I have experienced the same thing many times and got to this conclusion. I dont think it is the age of the perfume that makes it go off - (i have perfumes from the 40 ies that are still perfect) but how they have been stored.
Probabely gotten warm and been standing in the light.
(Dark and cold is of course the best way).
Sorry that you gotten a bad one because this perfume is wonderful.
I just bought this blind from eBay. The bottle is pretty but it smells like soup mixed with sweet, and there is a faint cat urine smell. First I thought maybe the perfume had gone bad, but maybe it's my body chemistry because I see several others who say that they have old bottles that still smell good.
I just got a sample of this wonderful fragrance. It is beautiful, I don't really get any powder in it. It is shame Escada doesn't make it any more. It is very summery and cheerful perfume, long lasting on my skin. But good news is I found it very similar to Louis Feraud for women perfume. Less grass in it but fragrances are really close....So for people who is missing this Escada or trying to find something similar Louis Fearud would be worth to try. :)
I found this for $1.59 at Goodwill and bought it. It smelled great when I opened the cap, kind of a sweet green fragrance. I had high hopes that it would be similar to Versace Yellow Jeans. Alas, it was not to be; on my skin this was horrible. I really like the grassy note others are describing, but I definitely smell the urine-like tang, yikes. It will be making a round trip right back to Goodwill.
I've always felt that each fragrance tells a unique story on the wearer and I find the venture quite exciting every time I try a new scent.
Well, the story my body chemistry depicted with this fragrance was not what I was hoping for. I am not sure if the fragrance simply turned bad after so many years (this was from my aunt's collection that she happily handed down to me) but it was very sour and nothing else. I was looking for the freshness of the citrus and green notes, but alas, those were non-existent. I cannot even detect the floral notes.
I have other fragrances that I've had for over 15-20 years (like Estee Lauder's White Linen and Dior's Poison) and they still smell the same now. But I want to assume that Escada's ACTE 2 must have been something special during it's prime since the citrus and floral notes used sound so good. What I got was sort of rancid and sour fruits, which of course, was a sad story indeed. However, go explore, you might get a positive experience with ACTE 2, it's your own story to tell. :)
i simply love this perfume it is so special so unique...i had it many years ago and i just have got it again...i am really happy to have it again in my collection...i think escada pefumes all have something special in the style of escada
I love the odd, grassy note in Escada Acte 2 that reminds me of freshly mowed hay bales stacked in a barn. Yes, there's definitely a bit of a sour note to it but in a very earthy way that I find very appealing in much the same way I enjoy drinking straight tonic water for its "wake me up" bitter bite.
In a fragrance market postively flooded with candy-sweet, fruity-florals (which I enjoy also!) it's so refreshing to come upon something different.
Acte 2 is becoming more expensive and harder to find so imagine my surprise when I found her twin in, of all things, Moschino's Cheap & Chic in the adorable red, black & white Olive Oyl bottle! Truly, in a wrist-to-wrist comparison I can find no difference whatsoever. Cheap & Chic features a prominent coriander note and I was shocked not to see it listed among Acte 2's notes here.
Defnitely a "try before you buy" fragrance but for those of us who like to venture off the beaten path just to see what few others do Acte 2 and Cheap & Chic deserve prominent places in our wardrobes.
Moderate sillage with 8-10 hour longevity.
Does anyone else sense a little pepper (not necessarily pink) in this?? Could I be so wrong? Other than that, I'm actually liking this, but I agree, it's not WOW or anything, it's just a pleasant enough, safe and feminine office scent with a hint of fun and zest but all in all very forgettable. Not Escada's greatest accomplishment, for sure.
Sillage is decent enough, longevity rather disappointing, though (3 hours on my skin).
Starts off with prickly citrus top notes, and goes on to become a generic fruity-floral plastic scent with the same synthetic, harsh-woody base and aquatic notes used in so many low-end commercial perfumes. The green citrus and aldehydic notes might be nice were it not for the loud drugstore-clone medley that goes with them.
As it dries down, there appears a sort of a green tea note, which is not spectacular, but an improvement. With time, it gets sweeter, eventually drying down as a pure, moderately sweet fruity-floral. The bottom line is that Acte 2 smells almost exactly like every other fragrance in its genre. It has too much sillage and lasts way longer than it needs to. I like some Escada perfumes, but will probably not be wearing this one.
My story is similar to PASSIONATA20's.
I had to have this perfume just because i loved the bottle, then it was a blind purchase and when i smelled it it was nothing like i imagined it to be... and no, i detect no rose here! it's not right with my skin chemistry and it's too much orris i think.
well, as i said, not what i wished for...
I really liked the bottle and a huge fan of classic Escada, but this one is simply not for me.
Recieved today a bottle of EDP and it smells nothing like i imagined it would smell like.
It was a blind buy.
It is fresh and yet it is bitter with some notes that just don´t suit me well. I think it is tangerine combined with freesia or orris that disturbs me and it is too green to me. I absolutly don´t feel any rose notes in it. But either nor "cat urine" as someone wrote before. It is really just too green and too fresh. Really good to be used as a body mist by the way!
It is just not my type of fragrance, but it smells actually quite nice on my mom.
The best part of it, that it lasts very long both on me and my mom.
P.S. By now i have managed to get a well preserved bottle of this fragrance and it smells wonderful! Green slightly sweet and very nice scent! Beware of the turned bottles, based on a lot of negative reviews there are a lot of them out there.
Please do not remove this comment, since others might find it useful. Not every rewiev should be positive, so people like me wanted to make a blind buy might find it very informative. Thanks.
I dissagree!IT is a faint scent.Doesnt slap u in the face in the am!THe tangerineand orange play off each other.slowly,fressia,rose,mimosa,and lovely orris root blend into a soft batter that lasts several hrs.the dry down is like a dessert.cedar swirled with sweet vanilla and cinnomann DO make ur mouth water.No remarable changes in notes,just smooth good smelling fume the whole time.I see rthis more as a day scent ,any season.Lil fruit,lil spice,lilwoody undertone.good for all!
ESCADA ACTE 2 is either very bad--akin to a mixture of burnt plastic and rotten fruit--or else my bottle has transmogrified into a toxic chemical soup. Either way, a caveat emptor is in order.
Some fragrances hold up well holed up in the back of dark closets and armoires; others do not. But even if the juice is not what it used to be, the number of reviewers, including myself, who bought ESCADA ACTE 2 years ago but never used it would seem to suggest something significant...
plastic plastic plastic PLASTIC! This has to be the Public Enemy no 1 of all
perfumes EGGGGGGGGGGGH I don't know how to Describe this Sjanira is right it does smell like Urine it made me gag
so just now that i dumped the sample in the toilet and throw the cap away
if someone is thing about buying it
I like this one. Very feminine, in a cheerful, solar way. It's also sweet, but pleasant, innofensive, still appropriate for daily use.
I have a 4ml miniature bottle of this. The funny thing is it has gone bad, but it doesn't smell bad at all! lol It kind of turned into a body splash: very herbal and fresh, but won't last much more than an hour on skin. It really smells like Mate herb, a very popular plant in Brazil used to make tea, especially iced tea. It's funny how it's really similar now, and it smells good! Hmmm... I feel like a cold drink!
I had this when I was 19-20 years old. This scent reminds me watermelons. So fruity and sweet.
10 years it was my #1 signature scent. Love it! I always recieved a ton of compliments when wearing it. It's a scent for the night out, for the night club, dancing. You will be noticable in every crowd with this perfume. I still love it, but I found L'Instant by Guerlian and it got my soul. Escada Act 2 now is waiting for the return on my dressing table:-)I'm pretty sure I'll come back to it. Recently I met my old girlfriend on a facebook (haven't seen her like 10 years) and her first words to me were: I remember your smell! Escada...
I've got a miniature and the scent is pleasant. May be it's because the scents in miniatures are sometimes better than in the big volumes especially in the old miniatures like mine seems to be.
I like most Escadas perfumes but this one smells like urine to me. It has a very bitter raunchy smell.
I'm guessing that the tester I have of this is off....all I'm getting is a thick, treacley mead scent!!!
I like this one very much. On me it smells fresh, but at the same time sophisticated; it's hard to describe it, but in no way I'd call it as "sweet". The note that is most dominant on my skin is freesia and orris, drying down to sandal and vanilla. For me it's No 1 summer scent;)
I do have it, and tested it on today after many, many years rest in a box. It was gone bad (you don't want to know how it smelled today!). But in it's primetime this one was little like Chloe Narsisse, but more lighter.

Serves six to eight.
In this classic Mexican stew, turkey legs are poached until falling-apart tender, then the meat is teased off the bones and simmered in the rich, spicy sauce flavored with bittersweet chocolate, ground almonds, and three varieties of dried Mexican chiles.
In a large (8-quart) Dutch oven or other heavy-duty pot, combine the broth, onions, garlic, and spices. Add the drumsticks and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook until the meat is tender, about 1-1/2 hours. During cooking, add broth as needed to keep the drumsticks submerged, and turn them over from time to time. Transfer the drumsticks to a rimmed baking sheet and let cool. Strain the broth and save. Discard any solids. When the legs are cool enough to handle, remove the skin and discard. Pull the meat from the bones and remove any sinews. Leave the meat in the largest chunks possible and set aside in a large bowl.
Tear the chiles into large pieces, discarding the stems and seeds. In a large (12-inch), dry, heavy-duty skillet over medium-high heat, toast the chiles, turning them frequently, for 10 to 15 seconds. Transfer the chiles to a bowl, add the raisins, cover with 3 cups boiling water, and soak for at least 30 minutes or until soft.
Drain the chiles and raisins. Set aside 1/2 cup of the soaking liquid and combine the remaining liquid with the turkey broth. Put the almonds and chocolate in a food processor and pulse several times to finely grind them. Add the chiles and raisins, the reserved 1/2 cup of chile liquid, and the tomatoes, tortillas, onion, garlic, oregano, cumin, fennel, allspice, cinnamon, and cloves. Process until smooth. In a large (8-quart) Dutch oven or other heavy-duty pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chile mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until it darkens and becomes quite thick, about 8 minutes. Add 4 cups of the turkey broth and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cover, reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, and cook until the sauce is thick but still pourable, about 40 minutes. Add more turkey broth if it becomes too thick.
Stir in the turkey meat and cook for 10 minutes over low heat so the turkey can absorb the flavors of the mole sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Spoon the turkey and sauce into a shallow serving bowl and sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds.
The turkey legs can be poached a day ahead (refrigerate the meat and broth separately). The chiles and raisins may be soaked overnight and refrigerated in the soaking liquid.
Serve over Basic White Rice.

Unbelievable tape-sounding echo in an ultra-tiny pedal.
The Lovepedal Echo Baby guitar effects pedal is an extremely dynamic tape-sounding, tape-feeling echo pedal. It's in a small enclosure, has dynamic modulation that changes the modulation feel and sound, according to the tempo that you set.
The Lovepedal Echo Baby delay pedal features warm, studio quality, delay up to 760ms with a "Dynamic Modulation Mode." If you hold the bypass switch for 2 seconds, this will put the Lovepedal Echo Baby into Modulation Edit Mode. The LED will blink to indicate this function. Dynamic Modulation means the rate and depth are adjusted automatically as you adjust the delay time. This improves the overall "feel" of the modulation at all delay times. No more wild modulation at one setting, and not enough at another. As you turn the delay time down, the modulation speed is slightly increased, as is the depth.
Once you find the correct amount of modulation, you'll find that it sounds great on any speed. No more adjusting delay time on your effect pedal, then re-tweaking modulation with Dynamic Modulation.
The Delay Time will remain what it was prior to changing modes. Adjust the pot for the amount of modulation you want (between 9 and 12 are good settings). If you turn the pot all the way down, that turns modulation off. To get out of Modulation Edit Mode hold the switch again for 2 seconds. The delay pedal's Modulation Level will be saved and you will be back to rate mode. If you unplug power, it will remember your modulation setting. This is only true if you unplug it after putting it back in Delay Time mode. If you unplug it while in Modulation Edit Mode, it will not save the Modulation, and will revert to the previous setting.
It's hard to believe the sound that comes out of this tiny delay pedal. Order yours now.
