“The best color in the whole world is the one that looks good on you,” said Coco Chanel whose Chanel No 5 is still a best-seller almost a century later. The same philosophy applies to fragrance. The most seductive perfume is the one that smells great on you…

Before you venture to the fragrance counter, decide what scents you like.

Read up on your favourite fragrances: what notes do they feature, and to which family of fragrances do they belong.

Fragrance Foundation Directory and Osmoz are excellent resources

Sephora Fragrance Finder

My index of Fragrances by Notes as well essays on perfume materials might be useful as well.

sample as much as possible based on your selections while trying to focus on the scent, rather than packaging, designer name or brand.

challenge yourself and pick something from a group of fragrances you would never have thought of wearing.

Congressman Alcee Hastings / The Official Office of / Right Wing Score

Tue, 05 Aug 2008 12:28:17 GMT

clipped by: Judge Love
clipper's remarks: Another low score for Hastings.

Gheeez, when is Hastings going to realize and face he's an old washed up Corruptocrat Congressman?

DEMOCRAT Hastings is obviously PRO REPUBLICAN, thanks to the control of Hastings' office, and mouth, by REPUBLICAN Art Kennedy.

WARNING:

The DNC should take note, before it is too late!

Clip Source: progressivepatriots.com

Right Wing Index Score: 29

A score of 29 means that Representative Hastings has acted to support 29% of a slate of conservative, wrongheaded policies in the 110th Congress.

On June 20 2008, Representative Alcee Hastings broke faith with the Congressional Oath of Office, in which every member of Congress solemnly swears to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Rep. Hastings swore to do this, and yet voted for H.R. 6304, the FISA Amendments Act.

When a President of the United States has this kind of power at his disposal, she or he cannot be stopped. The power of the president becomes total and the president becomes a totalitarian. By voting for this bill, Representative Alcee Hastings aided and abetted the advent of American totalitarianism.

US slipping in "human index"

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 13:22:50 GMT

clipped by: ruralart
clipper's remarks: Living in SC, and doing art residencies in the schools across the state, I see the differences between "richer" and "poorer" areas first hand. They are stark, and SC has no areas that would even equal many of the more economically powerful states.

Development: US fails to measure up on 'human index'

· Nation slumps from 2nd to 12th in global table
· Richest fifth take home $168,000, poorest $11,000

Despite spending $230m (£115m) an hour on healthcare, Americans live shorter lives than citizens of almost every other developed country. And while it has the second-highest income per head in the world, the United States ranks 42nd in terms of life expectancy.

"We get in this report ... an evaluation of what the limitations of human development are in the US but also ... how the relative place of America has been slipping in comparison with other countries over recent years."

The US has a higher percentage of children living in poverty than any of the world's richest countries.

It also reveals 14% of the population - some 40 million Americans - lack the literacy skills to perform simple, everyday tasks such as understanding newspaper articles and instruction manuals.

It has 5% of the world's people but 24% of its prisoners.

clipper's remarks: Another vast cornucopia of visual delights.

Clip Source: www.wga.hu

Welcome to the Gallery!

The Web Gallery of Art is a virtual museum and searchable database of European painting and sculpture from 12th to mid-19th centuries. It was started in 1996 as a topical site of the Renaissance art, originated in the Italian city-states of the 14th century and spread to other countries in the 15th and 16th centuries. Intending to present Renaissance art as comprehensively as possible, the scope of the collection was later extended to show its Medieval roots as well as its evolution to Baroque and Rococo via Mannerism. More recently the periods of Neoclassicism and Romanticism were also included.

Sexing Up Kids

Opening tonight at the elegant Roslyn Oxley9 Gallery in the heart of Paddington is an exhibition of photographs by Bill Henson, featuring naked 12 and 13 year-olds.

The invitation to the exhibition features a large photo of a girl, the light shining on her hair, eyes downcast, dark shadows on her sombre, beautiful face, and the budding breasts of puberty on full display, her hand casually covering her crotch.

Such images presenting children in sexual contexts are so commonplace these days they seem almost to have lost the capacity to shock.

But now comes the backlash, from parents, feminists, psychologists, teachers, grandparents - conservatives and progressives aligned as the new "moral majority"

Context Free / Background Directives

[edit]

Background Directives

The shapes rendered by Context Free/CFDG are drawn on a canvas that starts out with a background color. The default color is opaque white, but this can be changed using a background directive.

A background directive is a line in the CFDG file that starts with the word 'background' that is followed by set of color adjustments in curly braces. The adjustments are relative to the default background color of opaque white (hue = 0, saturation = 0, bright = 1, alpha = 1). If there are more than one background directive then only the first is used.

Here are some useful background directives:

background { b -1 }        // opaque black
 
background { a -1 }        // transparent
