Using Gator Blades on your Land Pride lawn mowers is a great benefit to your lawn. By producing finer clippings, your yard will gain the nutrients it needs faster than ever. Plus, you'll be able to mow faster without worrying so much about clumping. Review your blade measurements and select your replacement gator blades below. G3 Gator Blades:G3 blades offer faster and higher quality mulching capability than standard mulching blades. The teeth on the back of the blade redirect the grass clippings toward the cutting edge over and over again. G5 Gator Blades:G5 blades combine a higher air lift with a longer cutting edge for a greater mulching performance than the G3. These blades also stay sharper longer than standard blades. G6 Gator Blades:G6 blades are thicker and wider than the G3 and G5. This makes them more durable to cut through thick terrain. For heavy-duty mulching, consider using a G6 gator blade to get the job done right.

The success of any venture depends on the proper adherence to the limits of the activity. If it is making the road you wish to make you will have to find the best and optimum equation of the distance as well as connectivity to make the correct decision. There are similar principles at play in the weight loss regimes of the HCG Drops Diet also. The program is a curiously integrated mix of the best medicine and the perfect diet plan to accompany it.
How it is better
With the careful planning that has gone into the formulation of the dietary chart and the composition of the medicine, it is no wonder that the product has been receiving rave reviews in the websites. With the introduction of the product into the market, the sensation it had made is still prevalent with the HCG drops diet. It has managed to make it possible to lose pounds without doing anything strenuous.
Diet and Nutrition
This diet plan has been devised by the developers to work in conjunction with the medicine consists of broiled meat or seafood which has no visible fat, leafy vegetables and also those which are high in nutrients and fruits which are also high in vitamins and fibre. Sugar substitutes and just one tablespoon of milk are allowed with beverages, which makes it one of the best HCG diet drops in the country.
Discipline and commitment
It is quite difficult to stick to the diet which allows just 500 calories into the body. In the beginning, there will be an onslaught of hunger and mild sensitivity of the skin while women will experience symptoms that they sense during ovulation. Only if you are capable of withstanding the rigid discipline of the HCG Drops diet will you be able to get the desired results from this program.

Ultimate Ears Triple.fi 10 Pro Earphones Gun Metal Blue with Roadie Case
" Ok first of all I will be using my Sansa Clip as my source as I feel an iem should always be tested with portable sources. I paid $200AUD for them brand new, which is dirt-cheap by Australian standards. I do not believe in burn in, especially for armature drivers - owning and listening to many iems has shown me burn-in is just a mental phenomenon where the brain adjusts to a new sound..." --ProjectDenz
Ultimate Ears 500
"I'm giving these a 4 based on sound quality alone. I'm a cheap headphone user; I've gone from cheap headphone to cheap headphone over the past decade or so. I started with the Skullcandy Ink'd headphones, moved onto the Sennheiser CX400s, then the Meelectronics M6 and M9, and finally, this. I've also tried the Klipsch S4's. I'm currently on my third pair of these because well, they're so damn..." --az060693
Ultimate Ears 400
"This is sort of a mini review. Overall the sound and build quality are pretty okay. I like the smooth and balanced sound signature these in-ears have. The soundstage isn't too wide or high but it's acceptable. There is sibilance on high notes but with lower volumes it's okay. Bass is not overly powerful but still leaves impact and the mids and trebles are smooth and clear. I..." --Slashfury99
Sunrise Audio Xcited
" (This is my first review ever so, if you see something you don't agree with, it's a free country. Voice your opinions. But this is only one person's thoughts. Take it with a grain of salt.) I've been hearing about this IEM for the past year now. I was most intrigued by the reviews. It was hard to see a review about the Xcited (and its older brother, the Xcape IE, which our brother Spica,..." --amzies01
Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro Earphones (White)
" I bought these as a toss-up between the ER4P and themselves, and truthfully the ER4P are a lot better. these are a dual driver IEM that require a good seal to produce bass, and with the stock tips this can be hard, however, Sony's tips also work and are much easier and more comfortable. To put them on you twist them into your ear and bend the wire around the top and then behind..." --BBBS
Ultimate Ears UE-10 Pro
Manufacturer Ultimate Ears Model UE-10 PRO Headphone Type Canal Headband Type None Weight (g) 0 Driver Type Dynamic Enclosure Material Other Isolation (dB) 20 Impedance (ohms) 13 Cable Length (cm) 117 Frequency Response (Hz) 20 - 16000 Connector 3.5mm Street Price US$900
Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro Earphones (Clear)
" These were my first IEMs, so obviously at first I thought that these were the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. But after awhile... Bass is clear and punchy. Highs are pretty clear but high mids can get a bit muddy IMO. I'll be honest, it takes a lot of work to get these to fit, and once you do, they are really uncomfortable, at least for me. " --vleung92
Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 EB Earphones (White)
" Quite nice if you like/need bass. Lots of it. This phone is a weird construction that falls somewhat short of what it could be. If only UE had refined the bass performance, done something about the highs and added some midrange. At any rate, theres bass aplenty if that is what you are looking for. Bass extends deep and punches hard. I often find myself EQing the bass down and..." --Hakone
Ultimate Ears super.fi 3 Studio - Headphones ( in-ear ear-bud ) - black
" This was my first pair of IEMs before I even knew to call these "IEM". Also my first real introduction to good sound quality. Shortly after getting back stateside, I was browsing reviews on Head-Fi. Let me first say that I did not buy these in the United States. I bought them on a trip overseas in Hong Kong. So the carrying case was not the leather..." --Acreo Aeneas
Ultimate Ears SuperFi 4vi Noise Isolating Earphones w/ Microphone
" These IEMs sport harsh sound, chubby build uncomfortable for smaller ears or ear canals. Due to chubby housings, I couldn't wear them for longer than few hours at a time. Bass is pretty much lacking, as typical of balanced armature. It simply isn't there. What is there, lacks decay and impact completely. Mids are good quality and quantity. Highs are boosted in 8k region giving..." --AstralStorm

Though it may surprise people, even though I studied cyber crime I am opposed to this bill. The issue of people pirating stuff and protecting intellectual property can be handled a lot better then by this. Surprisingly I have a family member in favor of this bill and wanting to see it pass
Here are a few articles about SOPA you could read:
And here is another petition to veto SOPA, PIPA, and other similar bills:
My lawsuit against Google Inc and NameMedia Inc seeking addition of Microsoft Corporation and the FCC makes SOPA completely irrelevant after the FCC begins regulating Internet wire communications as should have happened decades ago.
Reply BriefWrapping Up a Week Of Action Against SOPA
Yesterday and today, the House of Representatives Judiciary Committee has hunkered down in the Capitol for markup sessions of SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act. The basic facts looked bleak: this Internet blacklist bill is a disaster that stands at odds with the Constitution, but the deep pockets of its legacy media backers managed to make it enough friends in committee that its quick passage seemed possible. Judiciary Committee Chairman, author of the bill, and "Hollywood's Favorite Republican" Lamar Smith scheduled just a single hearing, stacked the deck in his bill's favor, and rushed it through to markup now, at the end of the legislative session.
But then a funny thing happened: the Internet fought back…
Just here…
1% Users Support Bill
13 in favor / 1506 opposed
The "internet" (We The People) are fighting back on MANY fronts now!
If we want to get SOPA and PIPA defeated outright, the two people we should try to contact are Darrell Issa and Ron Wyden.
In case you want to send an E-mail to Darrell Issa, go to this address:
To send an E-mail to Ron Wyden, go to this address:
It is getting closer to Wednesday's hearing, so please E-mail them and tell them your thoughts. It could be our opportunity to outright stop SOPA soon.
The "internet" will be doing more than just emailing.
But we will do that too…
I'll fight it by backing Speaker Boehner and Eric Cantor in the House, buddy!
Internet Revolution Shall Begin! Support SOPA!
And my army will eat them for a snack…
You will see.
And how does it feel to be part of the tiny minority that supports Congress now, never mind the far smaller one that supports the Republicans?
Thanks for that link.
It was very informative.
I don't have as much time as I want on this issue with the others I am involved in now.
DHS and the RIAA have been caught red-handed for illegally downloading music themselves: http://news.cnet.com/8301-27080_3-57345342-245/bittorrent-downloads-linked-to-riaa-dhs-ip-addresses/
So it's okay for them to download illegal stuff but we're not allowed to? They are always a bunch of freaking hypocrites. Spread the news that the RIAA and DHS says it's okay for them to download illegal stuff but it's not okay for us! That should kill this bill real fast!
It's called testing if the site actually has their content, dummy to provide proof that if website is in violation of a law or not.
No, it's called if your IP is caught downloading illegal music then you are caught red-handed downloading illegal music! That's exactly how DHS and the RIAA catch people who download illegal content: by IP address—duh! Whether you delete the content later or not doesn't matter because you have already downloaded it. That's like stealing a cell phone from the store then later returning it but it doesn't matter because you already stole it—duh! It ain't rocket science! hahaha
So if the RIAA and DHS are caught the same way (IP addresses directly linked to downloading illegal music), then they should be punished, too! But it's obvious you support this bill because you work for them or are associated with them. As of this moment, only 14 favor this bill while 1557 do not! That tells you right there that you are a tr011. haha
I support this bill in all its entirely!
SOPA will pass by the end of 2012 and will result in very little compared to the order that the FCC regulate wire commerce. How interactive can reading wire communications be?
One example can be seen HERE
The PENDING Eighth Circuit Federal Appeals Court ruling is explained on the page linked above.
The linked page helps illustrate why SOPA does nothing as written now!
QUICK go protest SOPA by email or by phone. The SOPA bill does absolutely nothing and makes absolutely nothing different than now but makes what can already be done easier to do.
2 + 2 = 4
2^2…= 4
Wikileaks is almost GONE now. Go protest that "cyber-death-sentence" to further vent frustration.Pirates were all criminals but don't "piracy" SOUND romantic?
Well, looks like it won't be happening tomorrow after all.
Personally I think that's about the most boneheaded move that Smith could've made. Next year is an election year and nobody is going to want to go anywhere near a bill as controversial as this one during an election year. Even if it does go through Obama would probably veto it for the same reason in reverse, to get every single net-geek, techie, and so on voting for him in November (because, y'know, Gingrich or Romney stood a chance in hell anyways).
Looks like the internet may be safe after all.
Demand Progress has set up a PayPal donation form that will work toward defeating SOPA. The more you donate, the better chances that SOPA will be defeated soon. If you are interested in donation, go to:
We just defeated the robocall bill (H.R. 3035). The House leadership just killed it and chose not to advance it. Let's hope the same thing happens with SOPA, PIPA, and S.978.
Some more links to those fighting this… disastrous bill.
I'll post this article here because it actually does have a lot to do with this bill in the big picture of things…
The Defining Issue: Not Government's Size, But Who It's For
The defining political issue of 2012 won't be the government's size. It will be who government is for.
Americans have never much liked government. After all, the nation was conceived in a revolution against government.
But the surge of cynicism now engulfing America isn't about government's size. It's the growing perception that government isn't working for average people. It's for big business, Wall Street, and the very rich instead.
In a recent Pew Foundation poll, 77 percent of respondents said too much power is in the hands of a few rich people and corporations.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-reich/the-defining-issue-not-go_b_1159294.html?ref=yahoo&ir=Yahoo
I can't believe some of these people! They make me want to scream!
They are willing to allow the government to yank away our rights for the sake of 'anti-piracy'? I read the bill, and guess who else does something like that? China, where you will be arrested for protesting, or talking bad about the government, the government decides minimum wages, and it is a communist country. Uh, I actually paid attention in history class, and I know that is not what America was founded on!
Yes, stealing is bad, but this bill is not going about it the right way. There are already laws in place to hit the pirates. This is going to be like hanging 10 men in the name of making sure you get a guilty one!
Why can't the people who support this bill get that through their heads?
I have a question for CurtisNeeley who is seemingly intent on shutting down the "Pornternet" and the passage of this bill.
You seem to be comparing the China, Iran like clauses of the SOPA and PIPA bills to the actual regulation of China and Iran. So to you I ask, have you read the bill and do you understand what the bill does? Because I'm sure if you did, you can see why the bill literally cripples the internet, ruins innocent people's works, and does nothing but creates a confuddled mess of things.
So before I go raging on about why this bill is bad… I wanted to know where you stand or if you're bandwagoning onto this bill because your case in the Appeals Circuit Court would also be subsequently affected.
Furthermore, I will also say piracy is also bad and while a measure should be enacted… wait, we have the DMCA already… Why is this bill being considered again?

Found Downtown: For the love of local bookstoresJanuary 28,2013Editors note: Montpelier resident Marija Zagarins will be writing about Central Vermonts independent businesses every other week.
I have a confession.
Even though I live within a two-minute walk of three of Montpeliers independent bookstores, Ive bought most of the books I own through major online sellers.
The process of Internet shopping has become so convenient that I often do it when I only have a free minute or two, which is time enough to purchase something, but not to reflect on whether I really need it.
Often, as in the case of a 2-inch thick manual called Building Construction that I recently bought online for my infant nephew, I come to see these compulsive orders as mistakes and expensive flower presses.
Recently I had an opportunity to speak with Claire Benedict of Montpeliers Bear Pond Books. Unaware of my secret, she said, This is a community that understands that if youre going to have a store in your downtown, you have to go to the store in your downtown. You cant just say that you value it and then buy online.
Then Benedict defined a major difference between her shop and online sellers: Were nice to you when you come in. We chat with you. We spend a lot of time researching, finding, tracking down and ordering books for you if we dont already have what youre looking for. Its personalized service.
With her words weighing on my conscience, I made a resolution to atone for my previous crimes against local booksellers and start shopping for good reads downtown. In so doing, not only would I reduce my chances of making ill-informed decisions and give myself something to feel good about, but Id also put an end to shipping fees.
I set out to visit five local bookstores and make at least one purchase at each.
Bear Pond Books
Reading mystery books is one of my greatest pleasures, but finding good ones can be difficult. Fortunately, Bear Pond keeps a secret weapon to help match almost any reader with a good mystery, and his name is George Spaulding.
Spaulding hosts monthly Mystery Book Club meetings at Bear Pond and lists the clubs book recommendations in a regular email newsletter. He divides his working hours between Bear Pond and Kellogg-Hubbard Library, and quite possibly knows every Central Vermonter who reads.
Each month, the club selects two books on a unifying theme or topic to discuss. When I mentioned that I enjoy nonfiction as well as mystery, Spaulding recommended Nothing to Envy, about the lives of six North Koreans over a period of 15 years; and James Churchs A Corpse in the Koryo, the first in the Inspector O series about a North Korean policeman. Not only were these both page-turners, but as staff picks I got them for a 15 percent discount.
The Book Garden
Also in downtown Montpelier, The Book Garden is reputed to offer one of the largest and finest selections of sci-fi and graphic novels in the area. I visited the shop with the goal of finding a book for my boyfriend, Kurt, who brags that he hasnt read anything since college.
The shopkeeper, Randy, asked a few basic questions about Kurts age and hobbies, ruled out Manga and fan fiction, and finally directed me to a display table with literature about home-building. Kurt dreams of building his own house, and so I chose a colorful volume called Home Work: Handbuilt Shelter by Lloyd Kahn. He says he likes it.
Next Chapter
With its wall-to-wall carpeting, cushioned chairs and abundance of aisle space, Barres Next Chapter offers one of the calmest and most comfortable environments for book-browsing of the five shops I visited.
I was looking for a book for my toddler nephew, and all I had to do was mention to the shopkeeper that Charlie loves trucks and singing. Without hesitating, he directed me to Boni Ashburns Builder Goose, a book of rhymes about construction vehicles. Perfect.
Country Bookshop
Plainfields Country Bookshop is housed on the first floor of a lopsided wooden building which, barring a horse in the yard, could be mistaken for Pippi Longstockings Villa Villekulla.
The dusty shop offers used books in every genre from fiction to folklore, and specializes in sheet music, first editions and autographed books. While its endless supply could fill a wing at the Library of Congress, the staff is efficient at guiding customers to the books they need.
I mentioned that I wanted something to inspire my green thumb, and within minutes I was handed a tattered volume called Onward and Upward in the Garden. This collection of gardening essays, written by Katharine S. White (wife of E.B.) for The New Yorker in the 1950s and 1960s, would delight growers and non-growers alike.
Rivendell Books
I was running out of cash by the time I visited Rivendell in Montpelier. But since the shop accepts used books for store credit, I brought along a bag filled with old paperbacks I was willing to part with. (For the ruthless downsizer, Rivendell accepts up to two boxes or two bags per person.)
The shopkeeper who took my bag told me Id be contacted when my books had sold, and at that point Id have the option of taking half their selling price in store credit or 25 percent in cash.
Rivendell offers an ever-changing selection of new, used and collectible books, including a complete first-edition set of Mark Twains works.
Its the sort of store that encourages browsing, and I was pleased to rediscover Sue Grafton, a mystery writer I enjoyed in high school. Having only made it through J is for Justice in her alphabet detective series, I picked up a $4 copy of S is for Silence.
In the process of leaving my computer and getting access to personalized service at each bookstore, I was able to make choices that I doubt Ill regret. Thats more than I can say for that construction tome I bought online.
As for that, Ill keep my fingers crossed that my nephew doesnt move on to other interests (except maybe flower-pressing) before hes ready to read it.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Everyone wants in the Club. Full StoryEvolve Rutland Full StoryDHMC recognized Full Story -

2 men allegedly operating without licenses
Maryland Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler announced Thursday that two Calvert County men working as unlicensed home improvement contractors, who are charged with taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from customers and failing to perform the services they were paid to do, were issued a Cease and Desist Order by the Consumer Protection Division.
"Especially in these financially challenging times, the last thing consumers should have to worry about is whether the home improvement contractors they hire are misrepresenting their credentials or taking their hard-earned money," Gansler said in a written statement. "Marylanders looking to hire contractors should always do their homework and ensure that the company or individual in question is properly licensed and has a good reputation."
According to a Maryland Attorney General's Office press release, the charges filed by the division allege that Christopher Manion of Huntingtown and Albert Styles of North Beach sold and provided home improvement services without the required home improvement licenses and collected large payments for services they failed to perform.
According to Maryland's home improvement laws, the press release states, contractors must possess licenses to both sell and perform home improvement services. Manion and Styles offered home improvement services using several different company names, including Comfortable Construction, D&M Construction LLC, and Built-Tite Construction LLC, did not hold the required licenses.
In support of its order, the division presented testimony from nine consumers who paid Manion and Styles $420,303.88 for services that were not performed.
Alan Brody, deputy communications director for the attorney general's office, said the consumers that provided testimony were residents from Chesapeake Beach, Waldorf, Fort Washington and Valley Lee, and the violations occurred between the summer of 2009 and December 2011.
The division's order requires Manion and Styles to reimburse the nine known victims, as well as any other consumers who paid for services that were not performed, the press release states.
The division also ordered Manion and Styles to immediately cease and desist from offering and selling home improvement services unless they obtain the required licenses and post a bond or other cash security with the division for $200,000 to protect consumers.
Consumers with complaints against Manion, Styles or any of their companies may call the division at 410-576-6569, or write the division at 200 St. Paul Place, 16th Floor, Baltimore, MD 21202.

The goal of EBP is the integration of: (a) clinical expertise/expert opinion, (b) external scientific evidence, and (c) client/patient/caregiver perspectives to provide high-quality services reflecting the interests, values, needs, and choices of the individuals we serve. Conceptually, the trilateral principles forming the bases for EBP can be represented through a simple figure: Read more about EBP.
In the summer of 2005, staff of ASHA's National Center for Evidence-Based Practice in Communication Disorders (N-CEP) embarked upon a project to identify and obtain clinical practice guidelines from all over the world related to audiology and/or speech-language pathology. As noted elsewhere on this site, clinical practice guidelines, when tied directly to a systematic review of scientific evidence, can be an invaluable tool in helping clinicians to make the best decisions with and for their clients. Proceed to the EBP Compendium.
The evidence maps are intended to provide clinicians, researchers, clients, and caregivers with tools and guidance to engage in evidence-based decision making. These maps highlight the importance of the three components of evidence-based practice: clinical expertise, current best evidence, and client/patient perspectives. Proceed to the Evidence Maps.
ASHA's National Center for Evidence-Based Practice in Communication Disorders (N-CEP) works with ASHA members to conduct numerous evidence-based systematic reviews (EBSRs) annually.

Thread: Do you agree with this? |
Would you agree with the following statement:
"People who want their frags to smell nice lean towards designer scents; people who want their frags to smell interesting lean towards niche".
No I do not agree with that.
No. But perhaps people who think a lot about smelling nice or interesting (as opposed to those who spend a few minutes in Boots picking out a new fragrance) are more likely to discover niche.
To a degree, yes (sort of).
But that's based on the fact that the question's premise is highly subjective.
Last edited by Partario; 24th January 2013 at 07:21 PM.
many people on basenotes will find your statement politically incorrect or even offensive.
but i find it overall correct. with some exceptions, but overall true.
Yes, in my humble opinion. But as Noirdrakkar has already pointed out, there are exceptions.
No, absolutely not.
This is "painting a with a broad brush" that diminishes the virtues of 100's of classics that have defined what scent is today, and smell just as interesting today as they did the day they came out. And, I am not knocking niche at all. From a Zen perspective, everything is unique unto itself.
I will refer to the metaphor foreshadowed above - all the creations of scent are but dots on a canvas, that make up the incredible world of fragrance (all the shades from light to dark in the spectrum). It is similar to 'Pointillism' and the beautiful & famous painting, A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte by the brilliant artist, Georges Seurat. It was "created" over two entire years, debuting in 1884. He would go back and perfect the work time and time again.
This is the "world of scent" to me - revisiting each bottle (symbolized by a "dot") until we truly understand and deeply connect with a scent...and build associations to it ourselves. We have to remember that each dot is a 'bottle' of unique composition that completes the painting.
I could add more...but will leave my thought at that. Perhaps someone else would like to comment and add their perspective to this.
Some perfumes are as fragrant as an infants flesh, sweet as an oboes cry, and greener than the spring; While others are triumphant, decadent or rich; Having the expansion of infinite things, like ambergris and musk, benzoin and frankincense, which sing the transports of the mind and every sense.
― Charles Baudelaire, The Flowers of Evil & Paris Spleen
Well, by definintion, niche is a targeted to a small sub-set of users, so there is some truth to that... "interesting" may not sell well at the department store counters if it smells like feet or feces. Where people who are a little "unique" in their tastes can find a fragrance in the niche market to fit any desire (for the most part).Most "mainstream" people want a fragrance to smell nice (clean, etc), and will find that normally in the "designer" realm. But since some non-designer houses also make the generally-accepted type fragrances, your statement is not 100% accurate. But not stereotype or generalization is.
I want my fragrances to smell a bit different but I still have to like them. Whether they be niche or designer is neither here nor there so, whilst I understand where you are coming from, I have to disagree with what you say. I do appreciate that most 'unusual' scents will be, or are more likely to be, niche however.
It is the individual fragrances and not the category that matters
No. I believe it's an individual's preference. Good question though.
I would probably lean more towards agreeing with the second part of the sentence over the first part but I disagree with both.
I agree overall. Designer scents are aimed to please the general consumer while niche houses take more risks in creating something unique.
Top 3:
1. Dior Homme
2. Diptyque Philosykos
3. Burberry London
4. Hermessence Ambre Narguilé
5. Creed Green Irish Tweed
People buy what they enjoy. I think Light Blue is bland and you may agree, but it's a huge seller. The people who buy it probably like it and find it interesting. People buy what they enjoy. It really is that simple.
Niche houses exist because not everyone's tastes are satisfied entirely by mainstream scents.
"Follow your nose. It always knows." -- Toucan Sam
Smelling nice and interesting often go hand in hand, I'd say. Some of the most disliked stinkers are designer (Kouros, A*Men, plenty of "old man's" scents, I'd assume, too).
Classically I would agree with this, as in the case of vintage stuff I can see this ringing true, but I really can't honestly believe that fragrances in the vein of HdP's Petroleum, MKK, Secretions Magnifiques, Xerjoff's Zafar, Lonestar Memories, Onda, Absolu Poir le Soir, Comme des Garcons 2011, etc. would ever even be considered to be released by the likes of Dior, YSL, Armani, CK, Hermes, or any other designer house in the last 15 years. I would consider those all, much too "interesting" for most designer outfits.
Though the word "interesting" in itself is quite subjective.
Last edited by Partario; 25th January 2013 at 07:06 AM.
The statement does beg for definitions, such as what is meant by "nice", "interesting", "niche".
I think everything I wear is nice, even the ones that aren't especially accessible. There are fragrances I consider nice like Chanel 22, or interesting like Odeur 53 that I never wear.
There is an implication in some of the answers that niche perfumers are trying to be offbeat and wanting to have their market be small, but that's hard for me to believe. I think every perfumer wants to make great, nice, interesting perfume and would love it to be the most popular perfume in the world. That's quite an aspiration in a very competitive marketplace with much of the distribution stacked toward designers. By the same token, even the perfumers who create for the big houses are probably trying to make original compositions that will stand out from the crowd, in a good way, so as to maximize sales while at the same time being interesting. Niche perfumers may have some more leeway to experiment more because their margins are lower, but I still think everyone wants to have a positive return on investment.
Me personally, I order Niche samples every week just because of the art and unique experience within it. I wear niche mainly for myself to enjoy this form of art. However, when i go out, around people, etc.. i normally wear designers. Obviously most designers are more wearable than niche. But, i still wear niche because it also smells good (most at least), not just because its interesting. This is how i would rephrase the statement:
"People who want their frags to smell nice while being easily wearable lean towards designer scents. People who want their frags to smell interesting and nice lean towards niche."
No matter what the case may be , everyone wants their frags to smell NICE!
I started to believe that more often than not so called niche is just an inflated balloon with some exceptions ( say Lutens which actually is Shiseido) I 've found more masterpieces in the designers' scents area, IMO
........................................nothing is real, all is possible.........................................
Yes, overall I DO agree. it's not factual, but it does loosely describe my opinion.
Let's cut to the chase; I started out with designer scents but I'm leaning toward the niche market because I know that most "Joe Blow's" aren't going to pay premium dollar not to smell like everybody else in my quest for the "holy grail" (which I'm quite sure I will never find).
My Warm Weather Lineup: Xeroff Nio, L'humaniste, Jardin d' Amalfi, Pure White Cologne, Bergamot 22, Jubilation XXV, CHAMBRE NOIRE, Chanel Edition Blanche, CH MEN, Scent Of Peace, DHS, AVENTUS, GIT, VIW, MI
I don't agree at all, Nice and Interesting shouldn't be mutally exclusive.
The idealogy of something smelling 'nice' is down to the perception of the person smelling it. The vast majority of designer scents may not be interesting to people with years of experience as they will either be made to a budget and the general quality isn't there or as an offshoot of them being created to chart well the notes will be familiar. There are lots of exceptions and many excellent designer scents.
If none of my niche scents smelled 'nice' I wouldn't even bother wearing them. I think the biggest problem with generalisations is the divide from the people who try a little too hard to wear a designer and dismiss niche like some kind of badge of honour vs the people who don't even bother with designer scents.
The answer to your question for me is a big No. Interesting doesn't have to be challenging and Nice doesn't have to be safe.

As a broad idea that is not even trying to capture all the cases, I'd say yes. But asking a question like this only leads to hundred people coming here and telling you that it's all subjective and that there are exceptions. Of course, this is trivially true. But that kind of statement can still make sense to a certain degree.
Not exactly, but there is more variety within the niche market and the niche market is where you're going to find the real oddball scents or very specific scents. At the same time there's plenty of "nice" frags within niche as well. So I think you can say that people looking for unusual scents or very unique ones will lean toward niche. But when I just want to smell nice I look at both. I may start with designer for the simple fact that its cheaper, but not because its more likely to have frags that smell "nice."
I will admit I do try to buy niche when I can for the "rare" factor, but I want to smell good no matter designer or niche. Yes niche does in my opinon, push the envelope when it comes to more exotic smells, but there is really no limits when it comes to what niche houses use in the development of a fragrance.
Ha ha ha. No. Not even a little tiny bit. I think that's along the lines of dismissing any art that doesn't have a recognisable figurative subject in a popular style as "not attractive", and saying that people who buy Thomas Kinkade or Robert Bateman want art that looks "nice" and people who buy Julie Mehretu want art that looks "interesting".
The most significant thing about actual niche perfumers, to me, is not expense or exclusivity, but the fact that they are not so confined by the demands of shareholders and marketplace, and thereby restricted to what is popular, or what does well in focus groups, or what is defined as the "global fragrance trend of the year" by (coincidentally!) the companies that make the artificial esters used in fragrance. A genuinely niche company or independent perfumer has the liberty to follow her or his own instincts and tastes, and to play with combinations that may not be sanctioned by tradition or fashion. And sure, sometimes that may end in a place that is more interesting than pleasant -- but just as with modern or experimental art, a lot of it will be beautiful as well, if perhaps in an unexpected way or a way that hasn't been done before.
And then that will be appropriated by the popular market, just as modern art was and is -- to the point that you can see abstract "art" prints on the wall of your local McDonalds.
(My opinion, of course, may be highly influenced by the fact that I don't, actually, find most popular fragrances smell nice or even pleasant to me -- indeed, I find the vast majority of them unbearable.)
(Moreover, I think a lot of people who buy name-brand fragrances aren't even buying them because THEY think they smell nice. They buy them because of the name, or because all their friends have bought them, or because the beauty blogs they read flog them hard and they want to stay on trend, and they don't particularly think about the actual scent as long as they don't find it actively offensive. I used to do this in high school myself, trying to fit in; the trouble was that I would then find the fragrance offensive when it was in close proximity to my person.)
There are definitely those who bash the popular "scent for the masses" only b/c "average people" like them...see the Paco Rabinne 1 Million thread for examples. AND those who follow the masses and praise whatever is popular. There are also those who Praise any piss that a popular Niche house may put out. BUT for the most part, people like/dislike based on their honest preferences. I lose respect for those who say they wouldn't wear a fragrance b/c a teenager also happens to like it. OR who praise the worst smelling most boring Creed/Tom Ford, etc. as "Wonderful!"

There are too many personal tastes, preferences etc., as well as too diversified fragrance houses, both niche and designer, to agree with this particular statement.
Possum-Pie, that's the worst reason for not respecting people I've heard in a long time - perhaps ever. Why should everybody think like you and just wear what they thinks smell good?
We just happen to live in a social world and wearing a certain fragrance is a statement of sorts. Wearing Le Male is not a statement I want to make. Just like I wouldn't wear Ed Hardy clothes. Realizing that our decisions are not simply about "liking" something, but they carry other meanings, only help us understand ourselves better.

So you wear/don't wear things b/c of social pressure? I refrain from certain fragrances that don't fit an occasion, but I won't not buy something I like b/c of what people may think. I would never wear slacks and "1 Million" to meet the queen, but I also wouldn't buy a fragrance b/c it was "trendy" I would wear my tuxedo, and choose an appropriate fragrance from my collection...One that I like. I have fought phoniness all my life with people who try to impress others with big name clothes and fragrances that they don't like, but imply "money" I met a VERY famous gentleman a while back, and he was wearing "Cool Water" I have to admire his choice to wear what he likes.

I have more than hundred fragrances available, most of which are very unusual. I wear little amounts, to my personal enjoyment. I wouldn't say I try to please people around me.
I just don't see myself as Le Male wearing person. I also might be kind of elitist: I don't want people to smell that on me. Not the connotation I want. I also wouldn't wear Chanel No. 5 for the same reason. It's not the statement I want to make. Maybe all this makes me phony.
I'm just trying to understand my own motives behind my choices and I believe they are not just about what I like.
I disagree. I'm on a fixed income and can't afford FB of some "niche" frags. Thank God there's that's why splits an samples were created . I find that "interesting" doesn't mean I don't care for the scent. Sample,sample, and then sample again.

In general, I agree but there are exceptions but I agree.
I disagree. Im on a fixed income and cant afford some FB niche scents Ive tried through samples and decants. Thats why God created samples and decants. Interesting to me can be either I like it or dont. Sample,sample, and then sample some more. Then again I just had my psyche meds adjusted yesterday.
Depends upon the assumptions made behind the terms used...

Since when is "nice" in opposition to "interesting"? How about this breakdown instead?
People who want to be interesting for the sake of being interesting, put less value on aesthetics than they do on how others perceive them. On the other hand, those who appreciate beauty wherever they find it, even in the unlikeliest of places, will be able to find nice things where others don't bother to look.

No. Absolutely not.
I don't think this applies to fragrances. So called interesting fragrances are usually very personal thing. I've come to find that wearing fragrances that basenoters would find "interesting" are usually perceived as incomprihensible by most people. Kind of like some atonal art music to an uneducated ear.
O yea
I disagree. I think people who are curious and open-minded smell anything from niche to designer to vintage...
How about this: People who want their frags to be expensive lean toward niche.
There are plenty of interesting designer frags, though everyone's nose/tastes are different
----- People laugh at me because I'm different.... I laugh at them because they're all the same -----
One can't really agree or disagree with the statement unless it is more carefully specified, particularly
a.......... smell nice to whom? and
b.......... smell interesting to whom?
If it were to smell nice to one's self and to others vs smell interesting to one's self, but of zilch interest to others, then I'd agree with the statement generally.
No matter what side of this 'arguement' is taken, a most provocative question. I have to admit I have no idea as to why (most) people lean toward the frags they do other than they like them personally or follow the crowd.
These things cannot be long hidden: the Sun, the Moon, the Truth--Buddha
The love of fragrances for some seems to end up to becoming a race to whomever smells the most exclusively like nobody else in their vicinity. And in some cases, just add snobbery and scoffery.
The OP statement is overall something I'd agree with. Most people adopt fragrances to "smell good". And since those are very broad terms, the criteria is pretty broad. But niche, narrows the playing field. This would be almost analogous to people that own cars to people that own cars (designer fragrances) and actually buy super sports cars (niche fragrances). And the people that go deeper into the art of perfumery and scents, well they might go the way of the bicycle, unicycle, or penny-farthing. In a way, it's all connected, it's all a form of transportation in my analogy, but the manner they get you to wherever you wish to go, but the routes are all different.
Bah. This sounded way better in my head before typing it.

I was advised by Hush Puppies that this style ran on the small side. So I ordered it in a half size larger. (I wear an 8 and went to an 8 1/2). I find that I am constantly falling out of my shoes. An 8 would have been perfect and that was what I as going to order to begin with. I should Have stuck to my own instincts. Now I'll have to figure out how to keep the shoes on my feet so I can walk in them! Aside from all that they are extremely comfortable, even with the height. The hidden platform makes all the difference. They are gorgeous to look at ,and make my legs look in shape! Now if I could only figure out which colour I want for this season. The Black were the winter's choice.
Thank you very much for the feedback! We value our customers' comments and we will definitely watch out for that kind of issue!

Product Details
Suzuki XL-7 2003, Custom Auto Shade™ by Intro-Tech®. This unique custom-fit thermal shade provides protection against heat and UV rays at the same time. The multi-layered construction can reduce interior temperatures as much as 40°F. Store it rolled up and fastened with the attached velcro strip.
- Custom made for over 2,600 different automotive windshield applications
- Multi-layered material with metalized outer film that reflects harmful UV rays
- Reduces inside Temperatures up to 40°F
- Protects leather seats from cracking
- Keeps steering wheel and shift knob comfortable to the touch
- Easy to roll up, with an attached velcro strap
- Easy to stow away when rolled up
- Finished with a UV-resistant, non-abrasive velour binding
- Lifetime Warranty
Don't let UV rays and extreme heat degrade your vinyl dashboard and interior. And that goes double if you have leather seats; the damaging effect of solar radiation is two-fold: the UV radiation will attack the plastic and leather directly. Solar heating can raise the interior temperature of a parked vehicle to nearly 180°, hot enough to burn your hands on the metal seatbelt buckle or steering wheel. Needless to say, that kind of heat can't be good for soft vinyl or leather. It will bake the volatile plasticizers and oils right out of them. They will turn hard, and eventually crack.
Most cars have tinted windows, and you can add tinting to the side and back windows, but federal law (and common sense, we hope) prohibits the windshield from being tinted enough to really keep out the sun. The best way, if you can't park inside all day every day, is a shade to reflect the UV back and to insulate from the heat. The Custom Auto Shade starts with a highly reflective layer of aluminized Mylar, which can reflect both short-wave ultra-violet and long-wave infrared radiation. The multi-layer material will then supply additional insulation to keep heat from infiltrating the interior. The Intro-Tech Automotive Custom Auto Shade is available in a custom-fit for your vehicle there are 2,600 patterns in their computer-based cutting machine.
You can expect the temperature of your interior to remain as much as 40°F cooler when the Custom Auto Shade is used. It takes only a few seconds to unroll the Custom Auto Shade and install it on the dash, and just as long to roll it up for stowage.
Intro-Tech is based in sunny Southern California, and has been in business since 1991. Their product line includes floor mats, car covers, car sunshades, winter windscreen shields and the innovative PitStop Furniture line of race-inspired furniture. They manufacture all of their products themselves in their Chino facility, using the latest in Computer Aided Design and cutting technology. Because they use only the finest materials to produce their products, they are able to offer a lifetime warranty on everything they sell.

Norma, thx for doing that. All were baked at the same temps in the same oven I presume? I can almost see the dough age through the day. Seems like you get a bit more coloration to the crust as the day progresses. I'll post an update to my preferment in a bit. Got to load the pics.
Norma, so I just took the preferment out and mix it into the final dough. Once done mixing I loosely formed a ball and it went into the fridge right away. I plan on dividing it and balling it tomorrow when I first take it out of the fridge. I let it come up to room temp or double in size before baking. Is this normally how you do things? or do you divide and ball it before going into the fridge for the final 24 hours of cold ferment?

even though I wasn't particulary interested about that HD 6770, the radeon 5830 looks like a really good deal on linux for its price..!
Phoronix: Sapphire Radeon HD 6770
Continuing to ensure that Linux benchmarks on the latest AMD Radeon HD graphics processors are available, the kind people at Sapphire have sent over another Radeon HD 6000 series graphics card. After previously reviewing the Sapphire Radeon HD 6570 and Sapphire Radeon HD 6870, up now is the Sapphire Radeon HD 6770. The Radeon HD 6770 (and HD 6750) up until recently was just offered to OEM builders, but now Sapphire has begun selling various products with these graphics processors, which end up being re-branded Radeon HD 5770/5750 "Juniper" graphics processors.
even though I wasn't particulary interested about that HD 6770, the radeon 5830 looks like a really good deal on linux for its price..!
Any infos on the power consumption idle/max?
really cool i buy an hd4770 for 45€ 62 dollar and in unigine haven my card is faster than this 120 dollar card
Not to sound rude but does phoronix get to keep the video card (as gift) or does it have to return it back?
Last edited by crazycheese; 06-07-2011 at 10:00 AM.
It does look really interesting. I can get the 5830 in Oz for $10 more than the 6770 ($129), and am strongly considering the 5830. I have concerns over the Sapphire spec for the the 5830 though. It looks like its using hdmi 1.3 ??? not 1.4.
Also, they both only use UVD 2.2, not 3 which is a bit of a bu*mer if I really want to use either of them in my media pc.
And ...
With 2 x 6 pin power connectors I am assuming its power draw would be double??? Any info on the wattage / power consumption of the two cards in Idle and Max?
I am wanting either the 5830 or the 6770 to power a Dell U2711 and also watch blue rays & hd films, possible occasional gaming on Fedora 15. So, 2550 x 1440 is the more than anything I've had before. How would the 5830 and the 6770 compare to an old Nvidia 8600GTO?
Do I need Double Precision FP ? the 5830 has it but the 6770 doesn't.
Any recommendations? I would love to hear peoples two bits on this. Noise levels and power draw are an issue to me.
I bought a 5450 and am totally dissatisfied with its performance. It's next to useless for playing back HD content (which is why I bought it.)
warning! Don't buy this card if you intend to use it on linux! Fglrx-support is very buggy and the opensource drivers don't work at all! I bought this card because of phoronix' test which actually seems telling this card is great for linux, but it isn't at all! Don't buy it!
