OT goal by Lucic ends Bruins' successful homestandby Matt Kalman
BOSTON -- As far as homestands go, the Boston Bruins were nearly perfect.
Milan Lucic tracked down a shot he blocked and scored on a breakaway with 48.6 seconds left in overtime, and the Bruins ran their point total on their season-long five-game homestand to nine out of 10 with a 3-2 victory against the Columbus Blue Jackets at TD Garden on Thursday.
"You know I was able to block a shot, a lucky bounce," Lucic said. "I was able to go out on a breakaway. You know this is my first overtime goal that I've ever scored and it ends up being a big game with the last game on this homestand, which wound up being a successful one."
Lucic beat Sergei Bobrovsky (28 saves) to the five-hole after chasing down the puck all the way to the high slot of the Blue Jackets zone. Lucic blocked Cam Atkinson's slap shot from near the Boston blue line with Columbus (6-10-2) hoping it could get to the shootout.
"Even though you want to try and win in overtime, the other thing is you can give yourself a pretty good chance because of your goaltender and plus the guys we have in the shootout," Columbus coach Todd Richards said. "That's just managing it. The one thing you can't do when you're the last man in the zone is your shot cannot get blocked."
Boston goalie Chad Johnson, making his third start of the season and first on home ice, finished with 32 saves. The Bruins (12-5-1) were 4-0-1 on the homestand with wins in the last four games. Their shootout loss to the Dallas Stars in the first game was their second straight defeat and fourth loss in five games. They improved their play from start to finish, just in time to leave on a three-game road trip that starts Saturday against the Ottawa Senators.
"I think we just back to supporting one another and moving the puck better and our transition game's been better," Lucic said. "And we're coming up the ice again as a five-man unit. And I think when we got into that skid and that funk, I think that was the main thing that got away from us is we were trying to play too much as individuals instead of a team game. And we're getting back to that. I think there's still some room for improvement to where we want to be, and we've got to stay on ourselves and stay on each other to keep getting better."
The Blue Jackets took the lead when they scored seconds after their second fruitless power play of the first period expired. Columbus forward Mark Letestu won a race with Boston defenseman Dougie Hamilton for a dump-in, and Hamilton's D partner Zdeno Chara made the mistake of also going below the goal line after the puck. That left the front of the net open for Blake Comeau to one-time the puck past Johnson off a feed from Letestu for a 1-0 lead at 12:47.
Boston tied the game at 18:10 with a fortuitous bounce. Chara's wrist shot toward the net deflected off the side of Loui Eriksson's skate in the slot and eluded Bobrovsky. Eriksson was credited with the goal and the teams went to the dressing room tied 1-1.
The Bruins received a scare around the midway point of the period when David Krejci left the game with an apparent injury. Krejci lost an edge while pursuing a puck in the corner and was hit into the boards by Brandon Dubinsky. Krejci didn't return for the rest of the period but was back to start the second.
Shawn Thornton put the Bruins in front 2-1 at 10:09 of the second. After a giveaway in the neutral zone, Gregory Campbell gained the Columbus zone and dished to Thornton, whose slap shot went off Columbus defenseman Jack Johnson's skate and past Bobrovsky.
Nick Foligno tied the game a second time. He followed his shot to the Boston net and backhanded a rebound over Johnson at 16:34.
Neither team could break the tie in the third period, when the Blue Jackets outshot the Bruins, 12-7. Richards was able to take the positives out of those 20 minutes by his team, which earned two points on a two-game road trip.
"We played very good in the third," Richards said. "We had about 10, 15 minutes from five minutes to the end of the first to about the first 10 minutes of the second where we were not very good though. But that's the way that we can play. And what we have to find in our game is that 60-minute game, or 58 or 55 minutes. We had a lull where it seemed like it got chaotic and systematically we weren't executing. And then we come out in the third and we execute really well. We didn't get, obviously, the end result, but I think based on how the third period was going, we were carrying the play."
The Bruins have won five straight against the Blue Jackets. Columbus last defeated Boston on Jan. 21, 2010.
The Blue Jackets host the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday.

Here's the earliest piece I've ever found by Harry Devlin.
Its from the 1947 New York Art Directors Annual and clearly demonstrates what an accomplished advertising line art illustrator Devlin was. That ability would have served him extremely well in those days, as line art was very much in use for all sorts of ad art.
Harry Devlin was just as skilled at 'big-foot' cartooning, something that not every commercial artist was capable of.
In fact I've found relatively few who could do both realistic artwork of the sort at the top of this post and cartoon character art as good as you see here.
Even more impressive, Devlin could paint realistic scenes - and did so for major clients like Collier's magazine.
Collier's was one of Devlin's best steady clients. He began working for the magazine in 1947 and credited Collier's with being "where he honed his draftsman and perspective skills."
Its also where he created a wealth of fantastic cartoon and caricature artwork for articles featuring prominent politicians or celebrities of the day.
(These three illustrations below were done for a January 1954 Collier's article called "What Makes Ike Smile" and are typical of much of Devlin's work for that magazine)
In his biography, Devlin writes that "In a touch of irony, [I] was elected President of the National Cartoonists Society in 1956, just as the Golden Age of Illustration was ending. Television quickly replaced print media as the main source of advertising and both Collier's and Saturday Home Magazine folded."
Devlin won many awards from from the NCS, as well as a Gold Medal from the Society of Illustrators. He also received awards from quite a few other prominent organizations during his long career.
When magazine illustration waned, Harry Devlin and his wife, Wende, combined their skills to write and illustrate 27 children's books.
Among those was "Old Black Witch" and its two sequels which, combined, sold over a million-and-a-half copies.
This week, a look at the work of the talented, versatile Harry Devlin.

Speak Up for Sept: How Has Home Care Affected Your Life, Family, Community?
August 1, 2013
The AIDS community was born -- in part -- when we took care of one another when society refused us the care we needed. And now, our voices are needed to fix a broken system that mistreats care providers, neglects the needs of LGBTQ people and people with HIV in need of care, and that prioritizes the voices of the lobbyists of big business providers over the needs of families and the mostly female and immigrant workers who provide care.
This September, HIV PJA is partnering with Caring Across Generations campaign for the HIV/AIDS and Caring Mobilization. As part of the mobilization, we are building a rich set of stories to show the diverse and powerful ways we have cared for each other, and to show what we need from our nation right now and in the years ahead.
Contact Suzan Walters at HIV PJA to lend your voice to this important campaign.
We welcome all stories, including those from:
Your stories -- which can remain anonymous -- will help us show the economic impact of home care on workers, our families and communities ... shed light on the specific care needs of LGBTQ people and people living with HIV ... and spell out what we have experienced and what we need in our interactions with health care systems and the caregiving industry. Click here to get involved.
We welcome you to write your own experiences and thoughts, capture them on video, or contact us to set up a phone or video interview. Please contact Suzan Walters at firstname.lastname@example.com as soon as possible for more information, or to set up an interview.

31243, Hymns, Behold Thy Sons and Daughters, Lord, no. 238
1. Behold thy sons and daughters, Lord,
On whom we lay our hands.
They have fulfilled the gospel word
And bowed at thy commands.
2. Oh, now send down the heav'nly dove
And overwhelm their souls
With peace and joy and perfect love,
As lambs within thy fold.
3. Seal them by thine own Spirit's pow'r,
Which purifies from sin,
And may they find, from this good hour,
They are adopted in.
4. Increase their faith, confirm their hope,
And guide them in the way.
With comfort bear their spirits up
Until the perfect day.

This class already employs pretty thorough error-catching. Throughout the code I've used comments to indicate error states. Today we'll be replacing those comments with actual error-handling code in order to make this a fully functional OOP class.{mospagebreak title=Understanding error-handling}
Before we dive too far into today's new code, it's important that you understand the error-handling mechanisms available to you in PHP 5. To do that, you'll need to familiarize yourself with PHP's Exception class.
The Exception class provided by PHP is used to throw Exceptions in your application whenever errors occur. Those exceptions may then be caught and handled in a variety of ways according to your application's needs. Let's examine a very simple example of the use of a PHP exception.
$x = 0;
try {
if $x == 0 {
throw new Exception('Cannot divide by 0');
$y = 100 / $x;
catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
This examines attempts to divide the 100 by some number in the variable $x. I've created an error state by setting $x equal to 0, since you cannot divide any number by 0. To prevent PHP from displaying an error for this division, I've surrounded the process in an If statement that first determines whether or not $x contains the value 0. To this point, this should all be fairly standard procedure since this is a classic example of error prevention.
Next, I've employed the use of exceptions. Whenever $x equals 0 this code will throw an exception with the message "Cannot divide by 0." This is done using the throw statement. Notice the use of the "new" keyword. We want to throw a new instance of the Exception class while passing it a string that contains the error message.
This is sufficient to throw an Exception in PHP. However, we can't actually do anything with that exception yet. For this to be effective, the code needs to be contained in a Try block. This tells PHP to be on the lookout for possible exceptions.
Whenever PHP encounters an exception within a Try block, it will halt execution of the Try block and look for the first Catch block to catch and handle the exception. In this case, the catch block simply writes the error message back. This is a very simple demonstration. You'll see the true power of exceptions as you see them used in our application.{mospagebreak title=Throwing exceptions for errors}
Let's move back through our code and replace all of the error comments with throw statements.
private function fetchUserInfo($name)
$url = "http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/{$name}.xml?count=1";
$xml = $this->curlRequest($url);
if ($xml === false) {
// User feed unavailable.
$statuses = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);
if (!$statuses || !$statuses->status) {
// Invalid user channel.
foreach ($statuses->status as $status) {
$this->status_text = (string) $status->text;
$this->profile_image = (string) $status->user->profile_image_url;
$this->screen_name = (string) $status->user->screen_name;
We first encounter error states in the fetchUserInfo method. It has two different error states. One occurs when the user feed is unavailable, and the other occurs when the script encounters an invalid user channel.
private function fetchUserInfo($name)
$url = "http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/{$name}.xml?count=1";
$xml = $this->curlRequest($url);
if ($xml === false) {
throw new Exception('User feed unavailable.');
$statuses = new SimpleXMLElement($xml);
if (!$statuses || !$statuses->status) {
throw new Exception('Invalid user channel.');
foreach ($statuses->status as $status) {
$this->status_text = (string) $status->text;
$this->profile_image = (string) $status->user->profile_image_url;
$this->screen_name = (string) $status->user->screen_name;
The conversion process is very easy. Simply replace all of the comments with throw statements. The comment itself works very nicely as the error message string for the Exception class. For the sake of space I won't show you every instance, but you can follow this simple example to complete each of the remaining replacements.{mospagebreak title=Playing throw and catch}
As I mentioned previously, throw statements don't do much good in PHP without a catch statement. Knowing where to place them is dependent upon your application. Since this particular application produces a single output (a single Twitter signature image), it's convenient to catch all of the exceptions in a single location. The class can then either produce an image or not.
The class's constructor houses the function calls for the entire image creation process. This makes it a convenient spot to place my try and catch blocks. Quite simply, we can wrap the entire contents of the constructor in a try block. Since each of the exception throws throughout our code are called as the result of a function call in the constructor, we never have to worry about having an unhandled exception. This approach also keeps the entire error-handling process completely contained within the class itself. This is a great approach for larger applications that may contain a great number of different classes.
public function __construct($name, $bg_image, $adir)
try {
$this->fetchAvatar($this->profile_image, $adir);
catch (Exception $e) {
If at any point during execution, the method calls in the constructor encounter an exception, execution of the method will stop and code execution will jump to the catch block. This results in a call to PHP's die function, which displays the error message provided by the throw statement that generated the exception before ending code execution.
In this article you learned how to implement PHP's exceptions as a means of error-handling for our Twitter Signature Image class. But don't go away just yet. In the next article in this series I will show you how to create your own custom exception class to further take control of how errors are handled in PHP by creating a replacement image whenever errors occur. Until next time, keep coding!

T-Mobile's Legere Comes Out Swinging at CES
Jan 9, 2014 8:02 AM PT
John Legere, T-Mobile's feisty CEO, on Wednesday gave a speech at CES best described as highly entertaining. His remarks came one day after being kicked out of AT&T's party at the international technology event.
"I was circled by this huge amount of humanity -- four large guys," Legere related. "... I looked at these people and I said, 'Listen, that's not why I came here. Are you sure AT&T wants to kick me out?' And literally this person gets on the phone and said 'Yes, I spoke to the CEO of AT&T and she wants you to leave,'" Legere told his audience.
"Do you believe the top two stories of CES ... are Michael Bay's meltdown and T-Mobile's CEO gets kicked out?"
Legere, who referred to competitors as "bastards" at one point in his talk, "is clearly one of the most irreverent executives in the world right now," said Maribel Lopez, principal analyst at Lopez Research.
"He has the same irreverence as Steve Jobs had," Lopez told the E-Commerce Times. "This is broken, we're going to fix it -- we don't care if it was done this way before."
T-Mobile's Annus Mirabilis
"Remember, in Q2, Q3, T-Mobile added more phone customers than everybody else combined," Legere told his audience.
Q4 "was a complete knockout" with the company adding more than 1.645 million customers, he said. "That's three quarters in a row that more than 1 million customers came to T-Mobile."
The company added 4.4 million customers in 2013, which "has made us the fastest-growing wireless company in the U.S.," Legere said.
"Here's a trend -- when this many customers move to a proposition, people change," he maintained.
"T-Mobile is doing well because it is telling a strong, aggressive, differentiated story, even if at times it can get fuzzy as to just how different T-Mobile truly is," Rich Karpinski, a senior analyst at the Yankee Group, told the E-Commerce Times.
Raising Hell
"The industry is broken," Legere insisted. "It needs change."
With T-Mobile's new plans, "we are either going to take over this whole industry or these bastards are going to change," he predicted. "The whole industry is going to shift. I don't give a goddamn for either one of those things. I'm going to watch those peckers cry and change."
When T-Mobile was looking for a new CEO, it was encouraged to hire a disruptive one, Karpinski said. "We didn't expect that Legere ... would be so aggressive and out-of-the-box ... but he's done a stellar job of shaking things up while delivering strong marketing, sales and operational execution."
Buying Up Customers
T-Mobile is offering customers an instant credit of up to US$300 to turn in their old phones, and it will reimburse customers' early termination fees at $350 a line for up to five lines. All its phones will be available to well qualified customers at $0 down.
Customers will have to make 24 monthly payments for the device.
Legere did not change the economics, he "just made it more transparent," Lopez pointed out.
On the other hand, spending the money on buying customers' used phones "is a better use of the money" than buying ads, she added.
"There has always been some form of buying customers in the telecom landscape," Lopez continued. "This is a pretty bold buy, it's a pretty big buy -- and it's a buy that [Legere] gave without a lot of strings attached."
However, buying customers "has never been a successful long-term strategy in the mobile industry, and it is one that Wall Street will surely hate, as it dampens profits," the Yankee Group's Karpinski stressed.
AT&T, meanwhile, is offering T-Mobile customers $450 to switch.

Nati Linial and Roy Meshulam defined a certain kind of random two-dimensional simplicial complex, and found the threshold for vanishing of homology. Their theorem is in some sense a perfect homological analogue of the classical Erdős–Rényi characterization of the threshold for connectivity of the random graph.
Linial and Meshulam's definition was as follows. is a complete graph on vertices, with each of the triangular faces inserted independently with probability , which may depend on . We say that almost always surely (a.a.s) has property if the probability that tends to one as .
Nati Linial and Roy Meshulam showed that if is any function that tends to infinity with and if then a.a.s , and if then a.a.s .
(This result was later extended to arbitrary finite field coefficients and arbitrary dimension by Meshulam and Wallach. It may also be worth noting for the topologically inclined reader that their argument is actually a cohomological one, but in this setting universal coefficients gives us that homology and cohomology are isomorphic vector spaces.)
Eric Babson, Chris Hoffman, and I found the threshold for vanishing of the fundamental group to be quite different. In particular, we showed that if is any constant and then a.a.s. and if then a.a.s. . The harder direction is to show that on the left side of the threshold that the fundamental group is nontrivial, and this uses Gromov's ideas of negative curvature. In particular to show that the is nontrivial we have to show first that it is a hyperbolic group.
[I want to advertise one of my favorite open problems in this area: as far as I know, nothing is known about the threshold for , other than what is implied by the above results.]
I was thinking recently about a cubical analogue of the Linial-Meshulam set up. Define to be the one-skeleton of the -dimensional cube with each square two-dimensional face inserted independently with probability . This should be the cubical analogue of the Linial-Mesulam model? So what are the thresholds for the vanishing of and ?
I just did some "back of the envelope" calculations which surprised me. It looks like must be much larger (in particular bounded away from zero) before either homology or homotopy is killed. Here is what I think probably happens. For the sake of simplicity assume here that is constant, although in realty there are terms that I am suppressing.
(1) If then a.a.s , and if then a.a.s .
(2) If then a.a.s. , and if then a.a.s. .
Perhaps in a future post I can explain where the numbers and come from. Or in the meantime, I would be grateful for any corroborating computations or counterexamples.

jgsketch needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 27 designs submitted by 10 freelance designers.
This site is for lead generation as it's primary focus. Secondary focus is financial education. We recently purchased this site and need a new look.
Our target audience is anyone in debt or needs information on how to manage their finances.
We are looking for a complete redesign of the site. No elements of the current site have to be included. That includes the triple content section in the middle. Not sure if we like that.
Required elements: Call of action, form (as shown), hero shot, dynamic menu and content section.
The site is for lead generation, so a strong yet professional call of action is required. Phone number prominently displayed. Hero shot.
The look and feel of the site should be professional, smooth with rounded corners. Blue as the primary color, but not required. Use of gradients and other web2.0 style.
The side menu looks a little odd as it points to articles directly and are not in subject form. Since we will be adding much more content, we will need a new menu that these links will go into.
You will need to make room for a intro video as well.
We are looking for designers who have a good grasp of page conversion and know what positions the forms and call of action need to be in to convert the best.
I'm leaving this contest wide open for creativity.

October 13, 2010
Wabash matched the sixth-ranked Ohio Wesleyan University soccer team for 65 minutes Wednesday night before two second period goals led to a 2-0 victory for the Battling Bishops in Delaware, Ohio.
The Little Giants nearly equalled OWU's shots-on-goal total in the first period, putting three shots on net compared to four for the Bishops. Ohio Wesleyan (9-1-2, 2-0-1 NCAC) fired wildly all night, taking a total of 30 shots but only managing to get only 13 anywhere near the goal. Wabash took just eight shot attempts, with five forcing saves from the goalkeeper.
"We were able to keep Ohio Wesleyan at bay for over 60 minutes," Head Coach Roberto Giannini said. "It was an even game in the first half. Both teams had a couple of chances in the second half. I think a little bit of fatigue set in for us with a couple of players missing from the lineup and some guys playing through injuries and illness. Ohio Wesleyan took advantage of a couple of breakdowns on our part and scored on two breakaway goals.
"We were pressing them hard at midfield throughout the match. Unfortunately we didn't create any real scoring chances in the second half --- only a couple of half chances. When you play a team like Ohio Wesleyan with a couple of All-Americans and players who do things well you have to play your best. I was very proud of how our guys performed tonight. We went blow for blow with one of the top teams in the country."
Freshman Ian MacDougall (left) made a career-high 10 saves in the match. Ryan Fier, Tommy Pecar, Austin Jennings, Diego Aliaga, and Joe Stiglitz each produced shots on goal for the Little Giants.
Wabash (6-8, 0-4 NCAC) returns to action Saturday at noon in a home match against Kenyon College. The Lords are ranked third in the Great Lakes Region in the latest National Soccer Coaches Association of America poll.

AMARYL FOR SALE, It only took 72 minutes of this season for the Burlington High School football team to find something positive to build on. Buy generic AMARYL, The Grayhounds put together a solid second half against Davenport Assumption Friday at Brady Street Stadium. Make of it what you will, AMARYL photos, AMARYL samples, whether it was against a first-team or second-team offense and defense for the Knights, but the Grayhounds' first touchdown of the season simply burned an aggressive first-team defense, AMARYL natural. Order AMARYL online c.o.d, BHS has been to the playoffs three years in a row. Even though this team is nowhere near that so far this season, buy AMARYL from canada, Buy AMARYL without prescription, you can see the team possibly turning a corner. Still, the challenges are ahead, AMARYL FOR SALE.
Here is what stood out in Week 2:
• The Grayhounds injected life into their running game behind a pair of hard-nosed runners. Chance Carman and Matt Seabold will not be compared to Josh Osborn or Jamal Simmons anytime soon, AMARYL online cod. Buy AMARYL without a prescription, But their hard running was a great sight to see with a team down 42-0 at halftime. Some players quit when it gets that lopsided, AMARYL duration, Online AMARYL without a prescription, but you could tell this duo did not. In fact, generic AMARYL. AMARYL FOR SALE, They combined for 98 yards rushing in the contest. Buy AMARYL from mexico, • Going thicker on the offensive line paid off. BHS coach John Flaherty switched his offensive tackles going into this game, and it paid off in both the passing game and running game, AMARYL recreational. My AMARYL experience, Quarterback Tanner Hartsock had at least as much time to throw as he did in the opening week against Davenport Central, but the line also opened up a few holes for the runners, AMARYL pics. AMARYL canada, mexico, india, Keeping Kolton Atkins and Brayden Hall up front is probably a good idea from here on out.
• Hartsock threw for nice yardage and his rapport with the receivers continues to grow, where can i buy cheapest AMARYL online, Order AMARYL from mexican pharmacy, but he still needs a little more consistency. Derrick Willies and Carman combined for 115 yards receiving, but five different receivers caught passes, AMARYL FOR SALE. Hartsock just needs to work on his accuracy from what I can tell, AMARYL from mexico. Buy cheap AMARYL no rx, He's thrown six picks in the first two games, two of them going for pick-sixes, canada, mexico, india. AMARYL long term, Though the interceptions for touchdowns aren't his fault, he is completing less than half his passes so far this season, AMARYL cost. AMARYL reviews, His 57-yard touchdown pass to Willies, the Grayhounds' first touchdown of the season, AMARYL schedule, AMARYL dangers, could be a season-turning play.
• The team doesn't give up. AMARYL FOR SALE, That's a credit to both the players and coaching staff. BHS has been outscored 77-3 in the first half of the season, after AMARYL, AMARYL dose, which is ugly any way it's sliced. Yet, AMARYL without prescription, the team continues to play hard as evidenced by the second half against Assumption.
• The defense is coming along. Miles Peck recovered two fumbles in the contest, and those are plays BHS needs more of. They did a fine job of limiting Zach Mumm, the MAC's second-leading rusher entering play, to just 78 yards. However, they need to minimize big plays, AMARYL FOR SALE. A screen pass went for 32 yards on second-and-37 on the first drive of the game. But I expect the unit to get better as time goes on, but it's going to take a while.
• Tim Kilfoy is a Grayhound killer. He had four interceptions in his last two games against BHS, with a pair of pick-sixes in this game. But he also was lethal out of the backfield catching passes. Flaherty knew the ramifications of throwing the ball anywhere near Kilfoy, and yet the free safety was in perfect position for both interceptions.
• Up next: at Muscatine, Friday, 7:30 p.m.

(Reuters) - Three-time Indianapolis 500 champion Dario Franchitti has had ankle surgery, more than two weeks after suffering multiple injuries in a crash, his IndyCar team has announced.
Franchitti, a Scotsman who has won four IndyCar series, suffered a fractured ankle, concussion and fractured vertebra during the Houston Grand Prix on October 6.
"Earlier today ...Franchitti underwent successful surgery to repair the talus bone in his right ankle," Target Chip Ganassi said on its website on Monday.
"After a surgery that lasted just over three hours, he is resting comfortably."
Dr. Terry Trammel, Orthopedic Consultant for the IndyCar Series, added: "Tim Weber repaired Dario's ankle and his surgery went perfectly and just as planned. His post-operation X-rays looked great.
"Everything is positive at this point as Dario continues his recovery."
Several spectators were also injured when the 40-year-old's car went airborne and destroyed a portion of the catch fence.
Alex Tagliani will replace Franchitti for this Saturday's IndyCar season finale MAVTV 500 in Fontana, California.

A grand jury has indicted former New England Patriot Aaron Hernandez in the murder of Odin Lloyd, according to New England Cable News.
He was indicted on murder and weapons possessions charges this morning, according to prosecutors. Those charges include murder, carrying a firearm, and weapons possession charges.
The indictment alleges that Hernandez assaulted and beat Lloyd, with intent to murder.
Hernandez, dressed in a collared shirt and a jacket, was in court briefly for what was supposed to be a hearing on what evidence prosecutors have in the murder case against him. However, prosecutors said the hearing was not necessary because of the indictment.
Hernandez has not yet been arraigned in Superior Court.
In court, the defense said they had not yet seen the indictments and mentioned some concerns about the gag order in place in the case and about discovery, and it made allegations of "serious prosecutorial misconduct."
Prosecutors addressed the discovery concerns by saying they had provided the defense with 68 DVDs or CD, volumes of reports and a complete copy from Hernandez's home surveillance system.
The judge brought up the defense's allegations of the state willfully misleading witnesses and obstructing justice, and prosecutors responded, saying they had not heard about the allegations until arriving in court this afternoon and could not intelligently respond to it.
"I suppose a second, an easier way of addressing that is, I take it the Commonwealth has no intention of 'willfully misleading potential witnesses or otherwise obstructing justice,' and so an order not to do that would be unnecessary?" the judge said.
"That's correct, your honor," the prosecution said.
The judge said that the gag order remains in effect unless the judge who issued it made a change or the case was dismissed.
The defense and prosecutors both spoke outside the courthouse.
"We wanted to say that we were very disappointed today that we did not go forward with a probable cause hearing. The defense counsel were looking forward to testing the Commonwealth's evidence, something that has not been done to date," Michael Fee, defense attorney for Hernandez, said.
He said they were looking forward to cross-examining witnesses and examining their credibility.
Fee said that the defense is pleased that the indictment will move this case on a path to trial.
"There has been an incredible rush to judgment in this case. It has been based on innuendo and misrepresentations of facts ... here say and opinion has been represented as fact and evidence, and is in not," Fee said.
"Aaron Hernandez is an innocent man as we stand here today. he is presumed innocent under our system. He remains innocent under our system, and now we are one step closer to a trial, where the evidence will be tested and will be subjected to judicial oversight and a jury of objective individuals will show their own judgment and examine the evidence and determine whether the Commonwealth has carried its burden," Fee said.
Hernandez, a Bristol, Conn. native, has pleaded not guilty to murder in the death of semi-professional football player Odin Lloyd, who was found shot to death June 17 near Hernandez's North Attleboro, Mass. home.
Prosecutors said Hernandez orchestrated Lloyd's killing because he was upset at him for talking to people Hernandez had problems with a few days earlier. Hernandez's lawyers said they are confident he'll be exonerated.
Court records were unsealed earlier this month that said that state police were told that Hernandez stored the gun allegedly used to kill Lloyd in a box in his basement.
Officials located the box, but the weapon was not inside.
The probable cause hearing was to happen today but a judge granted a delay last month in the proceeding after prosecutors asked for more time to present evidence to a grand jury.
Hernandez is being held at a county jail in Massachusetts without bail.
Another hearing will be held next Friday at 2 p.m. for probable cause.
As Hernandez was leaving court, he mouthed "I love you" presumably to his fiance, and was escorted out of the courtroom.

Karmel Cake
April 3, 2011
Name of Cake: The return of breakfast cake!
Occasion: HCB
Constituents: one 9 inch layer cake made with caramel sauce
First up, make the caramel. This is an interesting caramel as it is made with light muscovado, milk, and butter that you mix up before you caramelize it. Usually the sugar is caramelized first then the milk and butter are added. Caramelizing the sugar along with the milk and butter seemed to take forever (longer than the ten minutes the recipe specifies) but the resulting product made it all worth it. This caramel sauce needs to cool down for an hour or so before the rest of the cake can be put together.
The rest of the cake is put together very quickly. The dry ingredients are whirred together in the mixer for 30 seconds, the butter and caramel sauce are added and beat for 90 seconds. The eggs are added in two parts, beating for 30 seconds in between. Then, the cake is baked for about 25 minutes.
I'm not sure what was going on with my oven or my cake strips yesterday, but the cake wasn't ready even at the 35 minute mark. The sides looked dry and the top crust was set, but underneath the middle was liquid cake goo. Worried, I turned down the oven to 325 and kept on baking. It took another 15 minutes before the middle looked like baked cake, instead of raw batter. I thought the cake was probably overbaked and depressing by this time, but after unmolding and cooling, I took a slice for photos, and obviously, tasting.
Delicious! The crumb was pretty near to perfect (some tunneling, sorry Woody). The cake was moist and tender, and tasted delicious. The coffee whipped cream accompaniment was a good mixer, although I wanted to eat the cake just as it was. Great cake: simple, quick, wonderfully satisfying.
7 comments:
It was soo good... mine lasted no more than 24 hours after I took it out of the oven. It has been flagged in the book with MAKE AGAIN and AGAIN.ReplyDelete
Looks great!! Hmm..your caramel sauce is so smooth!ReplyDelete
I'm chuckling thinking about Raven saying "Oh snap!" I wish I had made the coffee cream after seeing your picture. Next time. Your cake looks lovely. Nice crumb.ReplyDelete
Wait a minute...there are cakes that AREN"T good for breakfast? :) This one looks darn tasty, though.ReplyDelete
Monica, I totally understand your sentiment; I love quick and easy cakes!ReplyDelete
faithy, thanks! i loved that you tried to eat up all the crunchy bits.
Vicki, I think your dulce de leche ice cream is maybe an even better accompaniment than the coffee cream!
Amanda, that kind of sentiment warms my cakey little heart. Rock on!

How do i see the recipe ?? Sorry I'm new and this blog seems a lil more complicated than others when it comes to getting the recipe.ReplyDelete
Maria, thanks for coming to visit. This post was part of a bake-through for Rose's Heavenly Cakes by Rose Levy Beranbaum. As part of the bake-through we agreed not to publish the recipes. You can find the recipe in the previously mentioned book, or I'm sure somebody has published it by now and if you googled it you'd find it for free.ReplyDelete

Went to Mack's this weekend and yes, the young lady Mrs. T was not there. Also I noticed a change (maybe) in the pizza. The cheese seemed completely different and the crust was puffed up nice and high... definitely not the same as before! They usually close on Columbus day so I am going to give it another try before then, but when I had asked for a closing date I was told that they may be staying open past then so I am wondering if it is under new ownership and things are changing or if I just caught them on an "off" day?! I'll let everyone know what happens next so stay tuned.tom
The way the dough had risen it seemes more like a sam's pie rather than mack's. As for the cheese, it was missing the "bite" that has always been there as well as the grease. I thought maybe it was just me but my wife had said the same thing, that it just didn't seem like the mack's we are used to. Time of day was around 330p so they were operational for some time and they had the dough in the carriers on the counter as usual as well as the cheese. One thing I noticed about the cheese was it was in a larger pale rather than the dough box so I could not really get a good look at the cheese. I'll let you know after my next visit if the change seems to be "in place" or if it was just an off day. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!tom

Imagine a life of almost complete isolation, spent on a barren island constantly hit by a mix of volcanoes, tsunamis, and long, brutal winters. For thousands of years, that's what people have endured on the Kuril Islands, an archipelago stretching from Russia to Japan that just might be the most extreme place humans have ever lived.
Three different times - the earliest in 6000 BCE and the most recent in 1200 CE - colonists arrived on the islands and tried to forge an existence on some of the most inhospitable places imaginable. University of Washington anthropologist Ben Fitzhugh is leading a diverse team of anthropologists, archaeologists, geologists, and Earth and atmospheric scientists to try to figure out just how these settlers made life on the Kuril Islands work. He explains:
"We want to identify the limits of adaptability, or how much resilience people have. We're looking at the islands as a yardstick of humans' capacity to colonize and sustain themselves."
Although the Kuril Islanders spent their lives more or less cut off from the Asian mainland and the far more hospitable Japanese archipelago that lay to the south, the key to survival was the ability to quickly move. Fitzhugh says there's evidence that the islanders would leave their settlements when volcanoes or tsunamis hit, moving temporarily to other settlements in the island chain that had not been so badly hit. In order to pull that off as far back as 8,000 years ago, the inhabitants had to build and maintain social networks across the islands and to have a good working knowledge of their surrounding environment.
And it wasn't as though moving between islands was easy. The Kurils are often shrouded in a dense, thick fog that leaves the chain in a state of perpetual darkness, meaning the islanders needed to learn how to navigate by methods other than sight. They relied on subtle clues in bird behavior, ocean currents, and water temperature to work out how to get from one island to the other.
These days, the indigenous population of the Kurils is in decline, although that has far more to do with ongoing political tensions between Russia and Japan over the political status of the islands as it does the difficulty of living there. Fitzhugh says the Kurils can offer a vital understanding of how to deal with particularly extreme natural disasters - a potentially invaluable skill in a world where climate change could supercharge hurricanes and tsunamis, several volcanoes are overdue for major eruptions, and even the Sun might be out to get us.

After Metro-North Railroad and Consolidated Edison officials finished pointing fingers at each other for last month's massive power failure, a disappointed U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said Monday the giant New York utility has to reimburse rail commuters.
After a rare U.S. Senate subcommittee field hearing in Bridgeport City Hall, Blumenthal told Hearst Connecticut Newspapers that there are a variety of actions the state and commuters may take to force Con Ed to rebate Metro-North for $2 million in lost tickets. Otherwise, tens of thousands of commuters and the state Department of Transportation will have to pick up their own tabs.
"I am personally exploring some of the legal avenues that can be pursued and some of the moral suasion that we can bring to bear, but we're not done on the reimbursement issue," Blumenthal said after the nearly
2 1/2-hour meeting of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation subcommittee.
"I think there are potential legal causes of action here, if not by the state of Connecticut, then by Metro-North and potentially by customers of Metro-North who would have standing to pursue that kind of claim," Blumenthal said. "But clearly, the state of Connecticut is also in some sense a customer who would have, potentially, some cause of action."
Blumenthal made his comments after executives from Metro-North and Con Edison blamed each other for the fragile condition of the rail line last month when one power cable, called a feeder line, was out of service, and the second failed, shutting down regular daily service for a week-and-a-half.
Howard Permut, president of the Metro-North Railroad, said Con Ed had taken the line out of service the week before the failure, so when the primary line became crippled in the early hours of Sept. 25, a critical eight-mile stretch of the railroad was powerless.
"Prior to taking the feeder off-line, Metro-North and Con Ed had many discussions of how to best accomplish the work," Permut said.
"We assessed the risk of only having one feeder in service," he said, adding that a similar procedure had been used in 2006 without incident.
Con Ed President Craig Ivey declined to impose any monetary responsibility for the malfunction on his shareholders and ratepayers because the work taking the backup electric line was ordered by Metro-North.
"We think it's unfair," Ivey told Blumenthal, who pressed the executive on the issue of paying for the lost commuter tickets.
"One way or the other, it was your equipment that failed," Blumenthal said during an exchange with Ivey.
"There is an obligation," Blumenthal said, noting that a failed cable was six years beyond its lifespan.
Blumenthal chastised both Metro-North and Con Ed for allowing decaying, aging infrastructure to shut down one of the busiest commuter railroads in the country, used in 125,000 daily trips. He said the incident underscored "much broader and deeper problems" in the Metro-North commuter railroad, including the May derailment on the Fairfield-Bridgeport border that injured 50 people.
Blumenthal said he was outraged by the power failure.
The fact-finding hearing focused on the 36-year-old cable operated by Con Ed, as well as the Metro-North management that allowed the failure to occur.
Metro-North has allowed commuters with weekly and monthly tickets who lost trips in September to obtain credit on future trips. But much of that money comes from commuter fees and Connecticut's transportation budget. In fact, 65 percent of Connecticut service is paid by the state and commuters, while 35 percent is paid by New York.
Blumenthal and Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said that since Con Ed is directly responsible for the power outage, it should be responsible for paying the costs. The line was back up in full service on Oct. 7, after Con Ed completed the installation of a new electric line.
Permut and others on two panels agreed that the larger issue facing the transportation industry, commuters, businesses and elected officials is the aging infrastructure and the need to plan ahead.
After the hearing, Blumenthal and Murphy told reporters they believe there is a bipartisan will in Congress to invest more money in a better rail-transit strategy.
But for the foreseeable future, riders will have to take their chances on the possibility of incidents closing the Northeast Corridor.
"One hundred years ago, this service was state-of-the-art," said John Hartwell of the Connecticut Rail Commuter Council. "It should be again."

The Elephant Festival Kerala: A Royal Festivity
Blessing in disguise is what I say regarding my last official trip to Kerala. Though I was not ready for this tour but my senior insisted, and I went to Thrissur from Delhi in Trivandrum Rajdhani train. On the third day of my journey I reached Thrissur at midnight. Though the journey was exhaustive but I got ample of time for myself. I enjoyed this long journey by eating, reading, watching my favorite movies and seeing beauty of passing by places.
I rested the whole night in my office guest house and when I woke up the next morning my office peon informed me that office will remain closed today because of Thrissur Pooram, the most colorful temple festival of Kerala. He advised me to go outside to enjoy this most vibrant and cultural festival of Kerala. I had also heard about this festival but never enjoyed it. So hurriedly I dressed up and ate 'masala dosa' in my breakfast and went straight to Vadakkunnathan Temple which is the center stage of this celebration.
When I reached the temple I saw numerous people pushing each other in order to get through the temple entrance gate. Thrissur Puram is a two-century old temple festival which is well known throughout the world for its unique pomp and pageantry. This elephants festival is held in the Malayalam month of Medom (April-May) and lasts for 36 hours. It is a grand assembly of gods and goddesses from villages and towns in and around Thrissur. The foremost attraction of this festival is the grand elephant procession. These elephants were lavishly decorated with jewels and sequined silk parasols. I was also impressed by the beautiful decoration of elephants. Along with this the elephant parade was accompanied by orchestra band playing folk music of Kerala.
The festival reaches its peak when 30 richly caparisoned elephants emerged from the Vadakkumnathan temple escorted by three efficient priests sitting atop them. The rhythmic beats of the orchestra heightens the beauty of this procession. The beat and sound was pulsating which created mystic atmosphere throughout the temple premises.
I was enthralled by the cultural beauty of this festival. This cultural representation of religious belief provides a platform to people to share their common interests which develops cohesion among several social strata. The spectacular display of colorful fireworks, parasol exchanges, an umbrella showing competition are the other attractions of this colorful celebration which I liked the most.
After spending 6 – 7 hours in the temple premises I returned to my guest house in the evening. After watching TV for sometime I went to the dinning hall for dinner where I ate delectable Rasam with Tapioca and Fish Curry. After that I returned to my room with a thought to read something but don't know when I got lost in my dream.

drupalwebguys needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 57 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
Bloomfield Township Public Library
We are in the final stages of completing the Library's new website. We have implemented Drupal and are migrating content from the existing website (http://www.btpl.org) to the new site (http://ahadev.com/btpl). We were delayed in starting the graphical design phase due to a rebranding effort by the Library - which is now complete. The primary artifact that came out of that effort which impacts the design of the Library's website is the new logo and color scheme. (Details of the new logo can be found at http://ahadev.com/btpl/homepage/99designs-0).
The primary tasks associated with this contest is to create the visual designs for the homepage of the site (http://ahadev.com/btpl), a departmental landing page such as the adult services page (http://ahadev.com/btpl/adult-services) as well as a page for the youth page of the site (http://ahadev.com/youth-services).
The layout for those pages is complete - the page structure for all pages will consist of the top menu bar, a page specific banner area, a secondary navigational bar below the banner, followed by the general content area and the footer. Each page is divided in to "regions" and "blocks" - which have already been defined and implemented on the development site.
The Library serves a broad and diverse population. The target audience includes:
1) Children (toddler through pre-teen)
2) Teen agers
3) Young Adults / College age
4) Young Families
5) Senior Citizens
6) Business owners
7) The general population of the Bloomfield Hills Township (Detroit Michigan Area)
A few guiding principles for your consideration:
1) The colors used should map to the colors of the new logo
2) The library just moved into a new building. Pictures of the new building and its interior can be found at: http://www.flickr.com/search/?q=Blo…ic+Library - we suggest studying the pictures to get a feeling for the overall look of the library. The website must fit with the interior design of the Library building.
3) The logo should be prominently displayed
4) Each departmental landing page/banner should clearly identify which area of the website the user is currently on. You may look at what we did from a conceptual standpoint at http://ahadev.com/btpl. Other creative approaches to displaying that information is encouraged.
5) The youth page must maintain the overall structure -- but it must be children friendly (something that would grab and hold the attention of a pre-teen child).
6) All designs must be delivered as a layered Photoshop (psd) file - which each graphical element as its own layer - arranged into logical groupings.

ReleasesBack to
Mose Allison
The older Mose Allison gets, the sharper his mind becomes, the more idiosyncratic his music sounds, and the more pleasure the aficionado gets for spending the better part of an hour with his latest stuff. By this time, the 70-year old philosopher from Tippo, Miss. had sharpened his wit and insight on life to an even keener edge, musing wryly on materialism, technology, aging, death, even his own name ("MJA, Jr."). The tunes seem to have disappeared almost entirely but it doesn't matter; the lyrics are so damned clever and as hilarious as ever, even when they are obviously sequels to previous masterworks like "Your Mind Is On Vacation" ("What's With You") or "Young Man's Blues" ("Old Man Blues"). Mose's piano style by now has been pared down to its unique essentials, a ceaseless, swinging linear flow drawing from the three Bs -- Bach, Bartok and bop -- and his voice has barely aged since his Prestige days. Mark Shim muses ably on tenor sax now and then, and guitarist Russell Malone ranges all over the stylistic lot between R&B and jazz. At this rate, waiting four years or so between albums in the '90s, Allison has kept his creative batteries fresh every time out. ~ Richard S. Ginell

Each Finger Guard is made from the same high grade steel as the conversion mechanism and securely attached to each unit, insuring that fingers - young and old - are protected during the use of every Serta Dream Convertible.

Bill8719 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de impreso o envases y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 19 diseños de 5 diseñadores freelance.
Rhoades Car International
We are a 4-wheel bicycle manufacturer based in Hendersonville TN. 2011 is our 20th year in business but the second under new ownership. We are proud of the fact that our bikes are Made in the USA (official Made in the USA logo attached) and shipped all over the country (as well as internationally) from our factory in Hendersonville, TN. A most interesting statistic; 99.53% of all bicycles owned in the USA are manufactured in either China or Taiwan. Rhoades Car is the exception.
We need an exciting 2-sided, 4-color postcard (6" x 8.5") that can be sent to either those who have previously ordered one of our full 4-page catalogues or to a new database. You can use both sides of the card for photos. Save enough room on the back for standard indicia and address area.
The overall look and feel needs to be somewhat based on the overall design of our existing 4-page catalogue (see attached) to maintain continuity.
Target Audience: Adults between the ages of 35-75. We offer a wide variety of 4-wheel bicycles including 1, 2 and 4-person models. Because of the stable 4-wheel design, our models appeal to a variety of demographics including baby boomers, eco-friendly 30-40 somethings, seniors looking to stay/get in shape and weight and/or balance challenged people of all ages. People can exercise together on our 2 and 4-person models because our seats are side-by-side.
This postcard needs to appeal to the demographics listed above but the focus can be on boomers for this project. Since we can't possibly show all models on a postcard, we should include photos of the following:
• 2-person SportPed model – this should have the prime location on the front of the card since it is our coolest model that appeals to baby boomers and eco-friendly people. (The recumbent seat position is very popular)
• 1-person SportPed model – up and coming model
• 2-person Cycle Car – our most popular model over the past 20 years.
• Rhoades ComfortRide - our newest model targeting weight-challenged people and/or people with balance issues. Available with 22" wide, padded seat capable of handling 300+ pounds.
• 2-person GoBoy X2 – popular side-by-side ride for 2 people in an upright, bicycle-style position.
• 4-person Cycle Car – our "family" vehicle holds 4 people.
It's also important to mention "AVAILABLE WITH ELECTRIC MOTOR OPTION" somewhere on the card.
We have a large selection of photos for all Rhoades Car models from a 2010 photo shoot. Many have been uploaded for this project including versions with and without people in them. Our experience shows that using people shots works best in most cases.
There are several photos attached for variety. Models include (asterisk models are most popular. "Feature" means we want to make them prominent and are numbered in order of importance):
1-person SportPed*
2-person SportPed* (feature 1)
4-person SportPed
2-person Cycle Car* (feature 3)
4-person Cycle Car*
1-person ComfortRide* (feature 4)
1-person GoBoy Z1
2-person GoBoy X2* (feature 2)
Back of card also needs to include the following contact information:

The event, which alternates yearly between the Southwest and Mid-South, will be held Jan. 15-16 at the Grand Casino Resort Center at Tunica, Miss.
It is sponsored by MidAmerica Farm Publications, with Farm Press Publications as media co-sponsor.
"In our breakout sessions, we have both a researcher and a producer making presentations," says John LaRose, MidAmerica president. "For the '04 conference, we'll also have roundtable discussions, with a leading expert discussing a particular topic. The subject matter will be more focused, and the expert will facilitate discussions on the topic."
The discussions will be open to anyone in the audience, he notes. "We want participants to feel free to bring their questions and problems for discussion by the expert and other producers. This will provide an opportunity for discussion that goes beyond the information presented in the breakout sessions."
Discussion topics will be Conservation Tillage Rice — Weed Control; Precision Landforming for Conservation Tillage; Conservation Tillage Rice Establishment; Fertilizer Placement Equipment for Conservation Tillage Cotton.
Also, Conservation Tillage Cotton Weed Control; Cover Crops; Precision Agriculture; Conservation Tillage Funding Support, Equipment, and CSP; and Conservation Tillage Planter Attachments for a Good Seed Environment.

The New Song for the Movie
Director Tom Hooper felt that the scene where Jean Valjean meets Cosette was one of the most dramatic moments in cinema; therefore he felt that there needed to be a song to describe the self righteous love that was unfolding.
Reflecting on the scene and the intensity of the moment Hugh Jackman said, "I'll never forget singing it. I felt like I was singing my entire life."

I don't know anything about this house, but I always see the name and become intrigued.... hopefully somebody can shed more light on it!
This was a blind ebay purchase. It's called My de Myrurgia. I can't find any information about it. I think the bottle and box have an 80s look. I used to wear Natural de Myrurgia in the 80s, and other than Maja that's the only Myrurgia fragrance I know. I couldn't resist this mystery fragrance. I am curious about Myrurgia but I think they've been taken over by Puig, and I've read that Maja is a ghastly reformulation. Anyway, I was hoping a Basenoter might possibly know something about this one.
I don't know anything about this house, but I always see the name and become intrigued.... hopefully somebody can shed more light on it!
Did you receive the one you purchases via the ebay? If so, how does it smell?? I think I was watching an old vintage Myrurgia but it fell out of my top-priority list. I would like to discover more Spanish perfume houses that are not affiliated with Puig (although there is nothing wrong with PUIG, it is the manufacturer of Comme des Garcons which is a fave of mine).
Time to do research!
I have Maja -I suspect it is the new formulation but it has grown on me .I will probably look for more and vintage Maja and would love to read your review(s) on this and other Myrurgia fragrances.
Calero, I have not received it yet. It's on its way. I have nothing against Puig per se - they're just the multinational giant that own lots of lovely brands. But it's sad what happened to Maja, which I cannot personally attest to, but so many others who wore it back in the day say its reformulation is a mess. Maybe Puig will restore it, or maybe there was some reason they had to reformulate it in the first place. I don't know how these takeovers go down.
Bookwyrmsmith, I wonder how vintage Maja holds up. I remember those black wrapped soaps with the picture of the dancer on them from my childhood. I loved that picture. When my mother took me on a trip to Spain I brought home a lovely doll dressed exactly the same as the Maja lady. How many of us have brought those home, I wonder - the quintessential souvenir of Spain.
I'll let you know what My de Myrurgia is like when it gets here.

How fun, lilybelle! A 100% blind buy! I've never heard of My, either. I wear Maja from time to time. I received a sample of the edt from a kind BNer and I do like it. It seems redundant in my wardrobe, though, next to Bal a Versailles, which I prefer. I bought some Maja lotion and shower gel a year and a half ago or so, and I like the scent of the shower gel the best. Both the lotion and the gel possess the soapy quality the scent is famous for. The edt doesn't; it's surprisingly musky.
The way out is a way in-- NEP
I'm only familiar with Maja, which I wore in my teens. Someone must've brought a bottle of the scent back from a trip to Spain for my mother; she didn't wear it so I "liberated" it. (I did the same with her seemingly-unwanted bottle of Magie Noire too, and I shudder to think of the impression I made wearing *that* in my teens!)
I liked both but was never sure that either scent was definitely suitable for a girl ... blushes at the memory.
My de Myrurgia arrived yesterday. The box and bottle are pretty beat up, but the fragrance seems in good shape because it's been kept in its box in an opaque bottle. Just for the record...not that I think anybody will ever do a search on this fragrance...it smells like a dead ringer for Jacomo Silences in the beginning - very green. I also get an impression of geranium or coriander, something fougère; and then it dries down rather spicy (cinnamon, nutmeg?) with some sandalwood, and tonka maybe. I'm not good at identifying all the constituent parts. It smells more like a masculine cologne to me than a feminine one - not bad, but not my type of thing. So there you go.
Nice impressions, lilybelle! Much better than I could do. My doesn't sound like my thing, either, but what a fun experience.
Re. the Maja/BaV comparison, both are non-sweet (on my skin). I wear the BaV edt, which is apparently the least skanky of the formulations. Maja is skankier than my BaV, less creamy and refined, and has a little more casual feel to it; much more at home in a pair of sweats than BaV could ever hope to be.
The way out is a way in-- NEP
Maja skanky, eh? Sounds good!

Beyonce Gets Patriotic in Short Shorts [Photo]
Beyonce is hotter than a blazing hot summer day. This is an indisputable fact. The singer, designer and general queen of awesome posted a photo of her diva self poured into a pair of teeny, tiny and patriotic short shorts with a flag design.
Bey is leaning against a car, dressed in a pair of red, white and blue striped and starred denim shorts and a white tank with a mustang on it. We love her street style. Don't you?
Yep, she's hotter than the nuggets of flaming charcoal in a BBQ grill. She's hotter than a July day. HAWT!
