Sustainable dust control is quickly becoming a reality.

Thursday, March 22, 2012By David C Richardson
When it comes to dust, the effects from the hand of nature may appear a bit more dramatic than those generated by the activities of humans. The catastrophic eruption of Mount Krakatoa in 1883 blasted an immeasurable quantity dust 4 miles into the atmosphere, where it persisted for up to four years, blocking sunlight and drifting to span the globe, lowering temperatures by a full degree. The great dust storm of November 12–13, 1933, started in the plains of the United States and caused discoloration of snow a half continent away in New England, where, according to reports of the time, it deposited 25 tons of dust per square mile. However, dust tossed up from roads, industrial sites, farms, and practically any other site perturbed by humans does have its impact; it can travel vast distances over extended periods of time. And it can get into, and practically ruin, pretty much anything.
Bethany Williams, a biologist for the US Geological Service, explains that dust can act as a vehicle to carry contaminants like metals into roadside streams, and the dust itself can contribute to sediment loads in aquatic habitats.
"There are obvious health concerns with PM10 and PM2.5 dust [smaller than 10 and 2.5 micrometers, respectively], and road dust makes a substantial contribution to both of those categories. Several studies show it can cause crop injury and inhibit photosynthesis if plant leaves are coated with dust, and at least one study indicated that dust on forage crops can cause excessive tooth wear for livestock," Williams says. "There are very good reasons to keep dust out of the roadside habitat as much as possible."
And the animals in their own way may let on precisely how they feel about dust in their environment. Alan Sarver says ranchers in the Dakotas have complained that their sheep and other livestock turn up their snouts to grazing anywhere near dusty gravel roadsides.
Dust Rush
Sarver, who operates Z&S Dust Control, providing dust control services along rural roads in places like McKenzie County, ND, has seen his business boom in the past few years—not because of the sensitive palates of sheep and cattle, but because of the voracious appetite the rest of us have for oil.
The oil fields in North Dakota are booming, thanks to the Bakken Formation, a petroleum-rich geological feature stretching over parts of the Dakotas and Montana. Advances in hydrofracking and horizontal drilling techniques, and an oil market that makes the investment worthwhile, has some experts comparing events in the Dakotas today to the early days of the historic Texas oil rush.
What it means to Sarver is tons more dust-churning traffic on McKenzie County's gravel roads.
"Just a few years ago," he says, "you would have seen maybe 30 to 40 or 50 farm-to-market trucks per day, but now it's more than 1,000 vehicles, running 24 hours a day—and all of them semis." Sarver says not even an asphalt paved road could hold up long to that kind of onslaught.
To illustrate the severity of the dust problem, Sarver says, the governor of North Dakota recently offered to take reporters up in helicopters "just to show them. From the distance you can see dust in the air. There is just so much traffic, and even after all the roads that they're shooting, it's not enough; you can literally see it. When you get within 50 miles you can see it on the horizon."
Although gravel has long been the preferred road-surfacing material used in the county, Sarver's company serviced a scant 12 miles of road in the area just a few years back. However, in 2011 that figure jumped to 80 miles, and he expects that his contracts will balloon to more than 500 lane miles in the coming year, with no end in sight.
"They are short of everything," Sarver says, and that has been good for business.
And although it takes a tanker load of brine to control the dust and stabilize each mile of road, Sarver feels he can rely on ample supplies of magnesium chloride to keep his fleet of five applicator trucks and 17 nurse trucks humming, laying their 5,000-gallon, 20-foot-wide swath of brine down the center of every mile of road he is contracted to service.
He selected North American Salt's DustGard from the wide variety of dust control materials on the market. He says the magnesium chloride brine, derived from the Great Salt Lake in the process of extracting potash for fertilizer, represents a good example of a green product: It is plentiful, natural, and economical compared with some proprietary dust-control materials on the market, with "no additional costs other than transport."
And, he says, it works with nature, absorbing humidity from the air to stabilize the road surface. "Mag chloride is very hygroscopic. That's one of the reasons it works so well," Sarver says. "If you look at it in the early morning, it looks dark; if you look at it around noon, it's lighter; in the evening it's darker again, because it's attracting the moisture again." And this process repeats every day as long as the product remains on the road.
Sarver says gravel roads and magnesium chloride stabilization treatments are a good match for transportation needs in the region. "The whole of South Dakota has a population of less than one million. You could say, 'If you paved it once you'd be done with it,' but there's not enough money in the tax base even to do that, and then there is the maintenance."
He notes that in some cases, communities in the region that have invested in asphalt roads have become discouraged by the maintenance they require. As a result, Sarver says, "In a lot of places they are turning asphalt roads back into gravel roads, and we're putting on mag chloride."
A Flexible Rule of Thumb
Because gravel cannot be expected to all be uniform in quality, Sarver says,
"You have to be able to take the worst gravel and make it work." However, he says that figuring out the precise application of magnesium chloride to do that requires a certain amount of finesse. "It would be nice if there were a rule of thumb, but if you take gravel from one side of a pit, and then from a different side of the same pit, it will be different.
"We have a standard that works for most areas. We like to put down thirty-five-hundredths of a gallon per square yard, and that works almost all the time. But being in the business for 32 years, you get a feeling for what will work with the gravel in different areas—that, and the past track record, what we've had to do in the past to make it work.
"There are places where maybe a quarter of a gallon is all they'll need, but sometimes they'll end up putting a quarter gallon down maybe twice a year—once in the spring, once in the fall." He says knowing when to reapply is a matter of keeping a good eye on how well each stretch of road holds up. "When it starts wearing out, you'll start getting a little dust, then a little more dust, and pretty soon you can't tell if you even treated it at all, because you've let it go too long."
Although Sarver considers magnesium chloride an environmentally friendly material, he concedes it can cause problems if it is not used properly, a view Bethany Williams shares. To minimize hazards, she says, users should pay careful attention to material safety data sheets provided with the products and follow manufacturer recommendations.
Going a bit further to minimize any negative impacts and manage costs for his clients, Sarver has equipped his vehicles with computerized applicators paired with GPS systems so they can tell where they have sprayed and where they haven't.
"They keep tolerances so you know when you've come to the end of the job. It shows you, for instance, that you put down 4,732 gallons and it's within the specs called for by the contract."
Although Williams says EPA has reported recently that 52% of PM10 in the air, and about 21% of PM2.5 emissions, were associated with roads, Julie Mamula of Midwest Industrial Supply says almost any industry can benefit from implementing dust control practices, including steel mills with yards that are unpaved, mines, or natural resource extraction operations with miles of access roads and haul roads. Among other applications that could benefit from dust control, she includes such diverse operations as mine tailings ponds or ash ponds maintained by utilities. She says dust control products such as a treatment called SoilSement, which her company markets, can even be used to protect such fuel supplies as stockpiled coal from weathering and waste due to spontaneous oxidation or combustion.
If a contest were held for dirtiest job in the city, the demolition contract would certainly be a contender. But to handle the dust from this dirtiest of tasks, many contractors rely on the most basic dust control material imaginable: ordinary water. It is likely that at any given time, somewhere in any large city, one could find any number of construction workers wearing their hardhats and orange vests, standing in a puddle with fire hose or even a garden hose, attempting to dampen down a pile of debris to curtail dust, while a crane or bulldozer punches away at a nearby wall.

Demolition of an obsolete athletic facility at Bradley University
Contending With a Dirty Job
Although water might be the most environmentally acceptable, universally available, and generally economical dust control application, Dave Schielein, president of IronHustler Excavating (IHX), a major demolition contractor based in Peoria, IL, says hosing down a dust hazard sometimes simply creates a mess, and he didn't think that technique would be good enough when it came time to bring down an obsolete athletic facility at Bradley University.
LeRoy Neilson, utilities supervisor at the residential campus of 6,000 students just a short walk from the heart of downtown Peoria, says the administration had indicated from the planning stages of the project that controlling fugitive dust emissions would take a high priority.
Schielein adds that, in addition to being a labor-intensive operation, hosing down rubble can contribute to runoff problems that the project team would also have to address, and because demolition contractors pay by the ton at the landfill, hauling off debris weighed down with water can add a significant amount to the cost of a project.
Schielein proposed a different solution: the DustBoss, an automated dust-suppression system that continuously emits a fine mist of ordinary water for dust suppression with minimal supervision.
Rick Felde, a spokesperson for the manufacturer of DustBoss, Dust Control Technology, says the DustBoss can control dust over a 125,000-square-foot site and can easily be moved about or simply aimed in another direction to cover activities in specific areas of the site.
He says the equipment can be conveniently powered by standard electrical voltage to emit a continuous spray of water, atomized by its special "water fracturing" technology, creating a dust-trapping mist over the demolition zone where it is aimed. In addition, he says, the spray can be augmented with any additives deemed necessary to achieve various project goals.
Neilson says dust control needs do vary based on conditions on the worksite, but that in the case of the athletic facility, any hazardous materials had been mitigated before the start of demolition work, greatly simplifying matters. Nonetheless, even with a good system in place to suppress the dust, it became necessary once in a while to replace the filters on the air-handler equipment serving campus facilities near the work zone.
Schielein says that after using the DustBoss on numerous job sites, he's heard few complaints. In fact, on one particular job in Sterling, IL, when onlookers called to complain of an ominous cloud gathering over the work zone, it turned out to be nothing more than the fine mists of water being sprayed up by the DustBoss itself, glinting in the sun's rays.
"When city officials realize we'll be using a DustBoss, they are relieved, and it makes it easier to get approval for projects," Shielein says.
Although having the right technology onsite is of great importance, Neilson adds that successful control of fugitive dust on an urban demolition project is "all about communications." He says project personnel should "try to keep vigilant watch over the daily activities at the site."
"We had a small team on staff here at the university that worked directly with the contractors for oversight and coordination to monitor what was going on, so if we ever did see anything that started to get out of control we could quickly respond and notify the contractors to cease activities and get it under control. It was probably the best tool that we had going for us," Neilson says.
Today, he says, the site of the demolition has been transformed into "a beautiful landscaped area, and you would never know that we had a construction project going on not too long ago."
Dusty Roads
Randy Teague, the director of public works operations for Douglas County, CO, says many of his dust control activities are related to protecting life and limb. "On some of the main rural arterials in the county, the dust plumes would get so great that when two cars would pass each other it was actually a safety concern," he says.
He believes dust control has already evolved from a convenience to a necessity, but that because of the increasing concern over the environmental impacts of dust, it may soon evolve into a science.
In an informal way, his department is making a contribution to that science with its studies comparing the performance of some of the treatment options it uses on local roads. In an ongoing project, Teague says, Douglas County has been running a comparison between its traditional dust control applications, which use a 70% magnesium chloride and 30% lignin sulfinate blend, with durablend, EnviroTech's proprietary dust-suppression product, which the county has begun using on areas with low traffic volume.
According to Jeff Collins of EnviroTech, the company produces a suite of dust control products ranging from Xhesion, a non-chloride-based dust control material, to durablend, a magnesium-chloride-based dust suppressant enhanced with a proprietary polymer to reduce the mobility of the magnesium chloride through the soil.
Because that the residents of the bedroom communities surrounding Denver have a keen awareness of sustainability issues, Teague says, the ecological impact of dust control practices, and of magnesium chloride in particular, has been a critical issue for the department—"especially in subdivisions with ponderosa pine trees."
"We have found that the 70–30 blend, might have migrated in the past and damaged ponderosa pines. Typically, these are trees that are right next to the roadway, sometimes as close as the ditch. In those areas where we have subdivisions with trees, it has been very important to people that we not damage those trees."
Collins says durablend stays on the road longer and doesn't penetrate as deep as traditional brine, "so it concentrates the magnesium chloride closer to the surface than a traditional brine would," cutting down on the risk of magnesium chloride exposures by reducing the volume of the application.
For instance, he says where a traditional blend would require 1 half-gallon per square yard, "with the durablend you would put it down at 1 quarter-gallon per square yard in most cases, for a topical application."
He notes that in some situations the application rate will be different—for example, on a new road with new gravel where there is no residual buildup. Teague says his crews in the Douglas County test project applied durablend at a rate of rate of three-quarters of a gallon per square yard and milled it in to a depth of 3 inches, following that with a topical of 1 quarter-gallon per square yard.
The technique has been getting "very positive" reviews from the public. "Where we're using it, the public acceptance has been outstanding," Teague says.
"We've treated roads for upward of 15 years now using different methods," he notes. Some methods, he says, "got so sloppy that at times, after a rain, that you literally couldn't drive up the roadway, but with this process it's got to the point that we rarely get complaints anymore."
And in tests on stretches of road that had never before been treated, Teague says, an analysis done through Colorado State University demonstrated that with the use of durablend the chloride levels did not increase. "Actually, in the testing they went down, so it kind of made us feel good that we were putting down a material that, at least so far, has shown it doesn't build up in tree bark or tree flesh."
A Refuge for Science
Williams of the USGS says Colorado is one of the sites she visited along with researchers while "looking into the dust issue in general." She says a lot of concern exists there about dust because EPA has identified a number of non-attainment areas and has mandated regulations to reduce the amount of dust. In addition, she says, "Citizen concern about the effects of dust and the effects of chlorides is higher in Colorado than some of the other places we visited." But, she says, it's not just ordinary citizens who are concerned.
Although there are likely more than 2 million miles of unpaved roads in United States, Williams says, the proportion of unpaved roads on federal lands is 85%, and that includes many roads in national wildlife refuges managed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). While these areas often need some form of dust control, because the USFWS had so little information on the potential environmental impacts of the products available for that purpose, Williams says, "they have been under a near moratorium on chemical dust suppression since 2005." The agency's road coordinator "did not feel good about putting out products unless there was some controlled scientific studies of whether or not there were likely to be any adverse impacts," she adds.
In response, the USGS initiated a new study, which Williams believes is perhaps the first of its kind, to apply a scientific approach to evaluate and compare the potential environmental impact of various dust control options.
Although the study is targeted specifically for USFWS, Williams, who leads the research team, says, "Our intention is that it will have broader impact on the dust control industry as a whole, because the sort of environmental data that we're gathering could be used by anyone."
While there have been, over the years, a number of scientific environmental studies of chloride-based dust suppressants, accompanied by science-based recommendations for their proper use, what distinguishes the current study is its focus on emerging categories of non-chloride dust control products.
Williams says it has been a bit of a challenge narrowing down the focus of study to cover the appropriate products. "It's really kind of tough, because when we talk about dust control products we talk about it as if it's a homogenous category of some kind, but it's not really. Almost every conceivable substance has been used for dust control at some point in the history of unpaved roads. Some of the products are water soluble and some are not; some work with the charges on clay particles; some just coat the fine material—for instance, some of the hydrocarbon products work like that; some draw water to the road; and some simply glue the fine material in the road together to form a crust. There are lots of different ways these products work, and that was a challenge for us. We were dealing with a wide variety of products that behave very differently in the environment and could have very different effects on organisms and plants."
To close in on the important data, the project will proceed in three phases. The first phase is an aquatic toxicity screen, which Williams says will examine 15 different products from different vendors and across different product categories. Standardized tests with the rainbow trout, a common test organism, will be used "to see, in the worst-case scenario, if these products entered a roadside stream or wetland, whether they might have a toxic effect."
Phase two includes a toxicity screen expanded to cover additional species, and phase three includes plans to move the study into the field for 12 months, something Williams says she is "really excited about."
"Ultimately, we care about what the potential impacts of these products are in a real-world setting. So we'll take several of the products that we've identified as having low toxicity in the laboratory tests, and we'll apply them in the field as they would be applied under real-world conditions, with surveys of roadside organisms and plants before, during, and after the applications to see if there are any effects."
Williams says the initial report will be published later this year and will be available to anyone interested. But she believes many stakeholders will be eager to see the results of the field portion of the study, which will run for 12 additional months, "so they can add that to the lab data to help guide product selection."
While awaiting the scientific results, Williams says, "The most important thing a county road supervisor, a refuge manager, or an applicator could do, both to maximize the value they are getting from the products they use and to minimize the environmental impact potential, is choose the appropriate product for their setting, and have their soils tested by a contract laboratory to make sure they are choosing a product that is good for their particular type of road." For example, Julie Mamula says her company, Midwest Industrial Supply, offers such testing services to its customers if they can supply a 5-gallon sample of the material to be treated.
Sarver says there are many good reasons to optimize dust control procedures for gravel roads. Without dust control, he says, "you're going to lose an inch of gravel a year." Under those conditions, road managers will have to regravel periodically. "That's awfully expensive, and they've got to be careful because there are fewer and fewer gravel pits all the time, and good gravel is getting hard to find."
Randy Teague agrees and says his department realized some surprising benefits from its dust control projects. Before implementing dust control procedures, the department found itself regrading its gravel roads every two weeks, but dust control and road stabilization measures reduce the level of required maintenance considerably. In addition, Teague says, "We have found that when you do dust suppression, the gravel doesn't get chewed up as badly during grading. Every time you grade a road, you break down the rock and it gets smaller and smaller until you get to the point that you don't have any of the larger three-quarter-inch material left." He says dust suppression and stabilization "protects the gravel, so we don't have to add gravel to the road bed as often." And that saves money.
But Teague says it is also important that citizens understand that dust is a part of the underpinning of any good gravel road. "Dust is inherent in gravel," he says. "You have to have the fines in there to keep the gravel together—to keep it compacted. And it's that same dust, those same fine particles, that get airborne when it gets dry. Some people feel that the gravel shouldn't produce dust. That's been, maybe, our biggest frustration, when people move on to a gravel road and expect for there not to be any dust."

West Craven's boys and girls' basketball teams earned the top seed from the Coastal 3A Conference.
The North Carolina High School Athletic Association playoff brackets were unveiled Saturday. Six area teams made the postseason, with four hosting games on Monday.
Boys' basketball
West Craven Eagles
West Craven finished a perfect Coastal 3A season after fending off
The Eagles reward – two guaranteed home games in the state playoffs. They could host a third if they continue to win, and Triton loses along the way.
West Craven will open with 14th-seed
The Eagles are sparked by seniors Josh Cuthbertson (2,045 career points) and Demetres Abrams, as well as junior Tyrone Brown, and a talented cast.
West Craven (22-4) is the third seed in the East. Nemesis
The Rams (16-9) host Coastal 3A Conference foe South Central at on Monday. The winner will play either No. 2 seed Triton (22-5) or Northern Nash (8-13) on Wednesday.
"I don't like the fact that we have to play them for a fourth time, and I'm sure (South Central coach) Chris Cherry feels the same way," Fryczynski. "The seeding process has too many flaws.
"It just doesn't make sense."
If the Rams had lost, they would likely be playing at South Central. Instead,
"Obviously I'd rather play at home," Fryczynski said. "We should be playing somebody else. That home wins last week was very important for us and gave us another home game."
"We practiced (on Saturday) and I kind of knew we were going to play South Central," Fryczynski said. "The only thing we can do at practice is try to stay sharp. We are going to play like we did the past couple times. Hopefully it will work for us again."
The Rams lost to conference champ West Craven, 72-64, in the tournament final. Matt Prichard scored 15, while David Carter added 14, Zack Bruns 13 and Pharoh Cooper 11.
Pamlico Hurricanes
The Pamlico Hurricanes have been knocking on the door all season, playing competitive basketball with nearly every team they've gone against.
Coach Earl Sadler hopes his team can make a late run in what he calls, "a new season."
"We've been so close in so many games, just knocking on the door," Sadler said. "We are hoping, in this new season, we can get over the hump and make a little run.
"We are going into it and everybody is 0-0. It's a level playing field and it's time to start over."
Pamlico (11-12), the 11th seed in the East, will play at
Pamlico failed to make the playoff last season, and lost to
"They are a pretty balanced team and skilled and a ball-control team. They are not going to make a lot of mistakes."
Pamlico has a plethora of scorers – Jermicus Brown, Bradley Bennett, D.J. Lewis, Arthur Randall, Josiah Simmons and Cameron Moore, among others.
Girls basketball
West Craven Eagles
The Eagles have adopted the motto, "One Dream, One Team, One Win."
The point – to take things one game at a time.
West Craven (22-5), winners of nine in a row, won the Coastal 3A Tournament title with a 57-45 win over D.H. Conley Friday.
The conference champs will host Wilson Hunt (13-10) at on Monday. The winner will play either Conley (20-6) or Nash Central (13-8) on Wednesday.
"We are thankfully we played well enough all year to get a home game," West Craven coach David Fernandez said. "We don't know a lot about (Hunt), but it's kind of a survival and advance mode.
"The girls know this is a one-and-done deal and that they have to bring it every night."
The Eagles are the third seed in the East. Only
They are led by junior Jamie Cherry, senior Nishedra Brown, senior Nyeesha Roundtree, junior Jasmine Raynor and junior Kaylee Koerperich.
West Craven reached the Regionals last year before losing to Rocky Mount, 71-50.
"They were in good spirits and focused," Fernandez said. "On our side of the section, there are no gimmes. Everybody is good. If we think we are that good, we have to beat good teams."
Pamlico Hurricanes
The Hurricanes won just one single game last season. In a matter of a year, they are hosting the playoff game.
Pamlico (15-6), the second place team in the Coastal Plains Conference, will host
The Hurricanes are led by freshman point guard Bri Jones and sophomore forward Alazia Whitfield. Freshman Laichelle Sparrow is also a key addition.
"It's exciting," said Pamlico Athletic Director Earl Sadler. "I was talking to someone and they asked me how things were going at the high school, and I told him, the Hurricanes really had a down year last year athletically.
"We are glad to have some positive things happen at the high school again. The girls are doing well and we are excited for them."
The Rams might not see a team with a winning record until the third round, yet they still have to travel to start the postseason.
They are led by seniors Shakina Dyer and Kiera Fleming. Aprielle Barrette, Jalisa Wilson and Natalie Johnson are threats on offense and defense.

HIGH POINT, N.C. - Lees-McRae College finished the 2010 season with a 16-6 overall record and a perfect 9-0 mark in Conference Carolinas play, earning the program's second consecutive regular season league title. The Bobcats then won the conference tournament, punching the school's second straight NCAA Tournament ticket, as No. 24 Lees-McRae defeated Anderson University in the first round of NCAA Southeast Region play before falling to Armstrong Atlantic State University. Nandor Solymosi returns for his senior campaign after earning all-conference first team honors last season. The Falcons of Pfeiffer University have been selected sixth in the nine-team league.
"It's going to be tough to meet the preseason expectations after losing four of the top six players from last year's conference championship team," said head coach Keith Turner. "I have some talented players on this year's team that I feel are ready to step into the lineup and take on the challenge of trying to repeat. It will be very important for seniors Solymosi and Travis Van Hoy to lead by example, and hopefully their experience carries over to the rest of the team."
Queens University of Charlotte finished the 2010 season with a 10-6 overall record and a 4-5 conference record to earn the No. 6 seed in the Conference Carolinas tournament. Going into the tournament on a three-game winning streak, the Royals were unable to sustain the momentum, falling to Mount Olive in the quarterfinals.
Individually, Christiaan Lee-Daigle and reigning conference Freshman of the Year Joshua Bloch will be looked on to lead the Royals in the top flights. Looking to display their depth, the Royals will also rely on incoming graduate student David Hannon to provide a spark in the mid-flight matches. In doubles action, the Royals will be anchored by the duo of Lee-Daigle and Raahil Dhruva who finished 9-2 in 2010. Royals head coach Brett Karpman is proud of his players' work ethic and commitment and is "excited to watch this squad compete."
Following a 12-11 overall record and a 6-3 league mark last season, Limestone College men's tennis team has been picked to finish third in Conference Carolinas as released in the leagues 2011 Preseason Poll.
New head coach Rodney McAlister returns a number of prominent starters for this year's squad, including senior Miguel Lopez Zuniga and junior Mike Stephenson. Zuniga posted an overall mark of 14-6 in singles competition at the No. 1 spot and went 6-2 in Conference Carolinas action while notching a 13-9 doubles mark. Stephenson went 13-7 in singles play, going 11-4 at No. 2 and 2-3 at the top position as he notched a 6-1 record against Conference Carolinas opponents. In doubles action he was 14-9 with a 12-6 mark at No. 3 and went 6-2 in conference competition.

Edmonds woman, 84, who was rescued by carriers, dies
Photo courtesy Pat Upton
Catherine Walsh spent her last Christmas with family members at Aldercrest Health and Rehabilitation Center in Edmonds. She could not leave the center, so her daughters brought a ceramic Christmas tree, battery-operated candles, a bulletin board of old Christmas cards and other items to make her feel at home.
Catherine Joan Walsh was moved to a nursing home after the fall and lived there until she died of complications from her injuries and pneumonia Feb. 9.
She had been mentally sound before the episode, but never fully recovered from her injuries. She had days of lucidity after the fall, including when she saw a newspaper article in The Herald about her rescue.
"She was so thrilled about the article in the paper," said Pat Upton, Walsh's daughter. "She got to be centerstage, and that was mom." Walsh wandered outside her home Nov. 18 and slipped into a drainage ditch. She broke her arm, hip, leg and ankle and couldn't remember what she was doing or how long she'd been outside.
Two newspaper carriers found Walsh while delivering papers nearby. They called 911, wrapped her in blankets and stayed with her until an ambulance arrived.
Walsh was taken to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle and then transferred to Aldercrest Health and Rehabilitation Center in Edmonds on Dec. 3.
"After the fall, there was just a big chunk of her that was never coming back," Upton said.
She is survived by her daughters, Pat Upton and Terri Walsh, and granddaughter Carrie Mercier.
Walsh spent 38 years in her Edmonds home. She grew up in Budd Lake, N.J., where some of her fondest memories included working outside with her dad and hunting groundhogs with her dog and rifle.
"Mom was the kind of person you'd want to have around if the world was going to end," Terri Walsh said. "We always said that (her mom's house) is where we'd meet if anything happened."
Catherine Walsh married John Walsh in 1952 and moved around with him while he was on military duty, first across the country in a honeymoon road trip, then across the world.
They spent time in Okinawa, Panama and Iran before moving to Washington in 1975.
"She really began to put down roots for the first time when she moved here," Upton said.
She was known to give treats to service people in the neighborhood, leaving coffee drinks and taping candy bars to trash can lids for waste management workers.
She was an avid gardener and only stopped climbing a ladder to trim the trees in her garden last year, at the insistence of her family.
There will not be a memorial service, and in lieu of flowers, her family requests that people make a donation to a pet rescue organization.
Walsh was cremated wearing a kimono she kept from her time in Okinawa. Her ashes will be spread in the garden she loved and in the desert where it is warm.

Amazing amazing!!!!!
I looked everywhere for a company who would let my customize an invite for a very untraditional ceremony/reception. Magnetstreet was perfect! They sent me samples quickly and when I was worried about my pictures being blurry I uploaded them and they modified the picture so it would be at the best quality. Designing was super easy and shipping was super fast. The magnets were adorable, great quality and our custom colors looked great. Loooooooooove our magnets!!!!
No Worries
Save the date magnets came in a timely manner, track-able, and turned out beautifully just liked they looked online - perfect!
Great magnets!
These are really cute magnets and we can't wait to send out our save the dates. These were reasonably priced and they are good quality. The color saturation on the picture was a little brighter than the original, but I don't think our guests will notice. Overall a great product that was fast and easy to complete!
Magnet Street - SUPER FAST
Magnet Street had a ton of creative magnet options but I was most impressed by their speed and quality. I ordered 125 magnets and they were on my doorstep in one week in a cute box!
great quality
Once we decided on the design we liked personalization was quick & easy. They arrived before the estimated date & they look great. I was worried because the price was so good that they would look cheap, but I was happily wrong. They're beautiful!

Southwest was out to clinch the Coastal Plains 1-A Conference softball title Friday against Pamlico, but instead the Stallions' suffered their first league loss and saw their celebration put on hold.
The Hurricanes scored five unearned runs off four errors by the Stallions en route to a 6-1 victory, handing Southwest only its third defeat this season on a chilly and windy later afternoon at Onslow Pines Park.
Southwest (15-3, 7-1) will have another shot at clinching the title outright Monday in a doubleheader at home against Lejeune, which lost 20-2 to second-place Dixon on Friday. Pamlico, which fell to Southwest 4-3 at home last month, closes out 11-10 and 6-4.
"I am (disappointed)," Southwest coach Tiffany Murphy said. "I told them I didn't feel we came together as a team tonight. I said I hoped that we left that fighting team back on our home field and they had their one and done tonight."
Murphy said the change of venue — the game was moved to Onslow Pines because this week's rains made Southwest's field unplayable — had nothing to do with the outcome.
"We practice over here when our field's been a mess," she said. "It's not our first time on this field."
Whatever the case, the Stallions weren't themselves — at least at the plate — although early on it looked like one run might be all that was needed to win the game given how both pitchers were handling the hitters.
Southwest's Hali Botzenhart (15-2) struck out the first 10 hitters she faced — she finished with 15 K's — before Martha Bautista reached on a bunt single with one out. Bautista went to third on Botzenhart's errant throw to first on Kelsey Guimbal's bunt.
After Botzenhart's 11th strikeout, center fielder Bethany Tripp misplayed a fly ball with the wind whipping across the field and both Bautista and Guimbal scored to give the Hurricanes a 2-0 lead.
Southwest managed only one base runner — on a single by Aaliyah Simmons in the second — off left-hander Morgan Andrews until the sixth inning when the Stallions loaded the bases with no outs.
But Southwest scored only one run when Morgan Cox beat the throw home on a grounder by Alexis France. After pinch hitter Aurenesha Monk struck out looking on a 3-2 pitch for the first out, Botzenhart hit a deep fly to right field, but Tripp didn't tag up.
Murphy attributed the mistake to a "coaching call," noting it looked like the ball was going to fall in until Bautista caught up with the fly ball. Amberlynn Bishop then lined to second for the final out to end the threat.
Pamlico added four more runs in the top of the seventh, with two scoring on an error while Bri Jones singled home the final run.
Simmons led off the bottom of the inning with a single but was forced at second. The next two hitters popped out to short and grounded to short to end the game.
"Everybody has their nights. It is what it is," Murphy said. "That's not our team that I've talked about all season and told them about, the team that always fights back. That team didn't come tonight. It's just one of those nights."
Still, Murphy is still confident her team will rebound, figuring the loss might serve as a wakeup call for her Stallions.
"I do," she said. "I don't think it was such a bad thing what happened tonight."
Pamlico 000200 4— 6 3 0

These are super light wheels for a great price! I built up a wheelset with 28h Dt Swiss 340 hubs and their Competition spokes. I used a 3 cross pattern for maximum strenght and durability. They were a little difficult to true since there is so little material in the wheel but once I did, they have held up great. Would definitley buy them again, especially with the deal Jenson has right now on their PRO wheelset!

Jetty is a project at the Eclipse Foundation.
|Jetty Powered:
private support for your internal/customer projects ... custom extensions and distributions ... versioned snapshots for indefinite support ... scalability guidance for your apps and Ajax/Comet projects ... development services from 1 day to full product delivery
Debugging with the Maven Jetty Plugin in Eclipse
Step 1
Go to the Run/External Tools/External Tools ..." menu item on the "Run" menu bar. Select "Program" and click the "New" button. On the "Main" tab, fill in the "Location:" as the full path to your "mvn" executable. For the "Working Directory:" select the workspace that matches your webapp. For "Arguments:" add
Move to the "Environment" tab and click the "New" button to add a new variable named
MAVEN_OPTS with the value:
-Xdebug -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=4000,server=y,suspend=y
If you supply suspend=n instead of suspend=y you can start immediately without running the debugger and launch the debugger at anytime you really wish to debug.
Step 2
Then, pull up the "Run/Debug/Debug ..." menu item and select "Remote Java Application" and click the "New" button. Fill in the dialog by selecting your webapp project for the "Project:" field, and ensure you are using the same port number as you specified in the
address= property above.
Now all you need to do is to Run/External Tools and select the name of the maven tool setup you created in step 1 to start the plugin and then Run/Debug and select the name of the debug setup you setup in step2.
From instructions provided by Rolf Strijdhorst on the Maven mailing list
Stopping Jetty
In order to stop the jetty server the "Allow termination of remote VM" should be checked in debug dialog in Step 2. When you have the jetty server running and the debugger connected you can switch to the debug perspective. In the debug view, right click on the Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM[localhost:4000] and chose terminate. This will stop the debugger and the jetty server.

Here one other method to debug web application based on jetty and maven2 : http://mahertb.blogspot.com/2006/08/debugging-maven-web-application-with.html
Good day,
Great tutorial !
I would just like to add that that is actually the generic way of debugging Maven2 in Eclipse. It works not only with jetty:run, but practically anything that does not fork another JVM (i.e. maven-surefire-plugin). Kindly see [1] for more info.
[1] http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Dealing+with+Eclipse-based+IDE
I do not think that steps here do anything useful. They will allow to debug Maven (and maybe unit tests), but not Jetty or code running in Jetty. Jetty forks a new JVM. Parameters specified will apply to maven process, but not to the forked JVM... Not sure why other comments say that it's a great tutorial considering that it just does not work...
Unfortunately I am not sure yet how to config Jetty so that it would be possible to debug...
These steps works. I tested it and all was as expected. The breakpoints in my webapp where enabled and worked.
Thank you for your help.
Works brilliantly.
But how do you stop the jetty server without using the terminate button and leaving the java process hanging in nowhere?
I've also encountered that problem. I think this is due to this bug.
Thanks the method works.
but i can not find the method to stop the jetty.
Is there some method ? thanks again !!!

"Coraline discovered the door a little while after they moved into the house. . . ."
When Coraline steps through a door to find another house strangely similar to her own (only better), things seem marvelous.

Coraline will have to fight with all her wit and courage if she is to save herself and return to her ordinary life.

Traffic counts
WisDOT interactive traffic count map
Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) traffic counts are part of an interactive map that allows you to view counts anywhere in the state. The search, pan and zoom features of the map are based on the Google Maps interface. The best way to search for a location in the address box is to insert "WI" after the community name. This will eliminate Google taking you to similar named locations elsewhere in the country.
Short-term counts are collected over a three-year cycle at nearly 26,000 rural and urban locations throughout the state. Data from 2000 to 2010 is available on downloadable traffic count PDFs.
Traffic counts are reported as the number of vehicles expected to pass a given location on an average day of the year. This value is called the "annual average daily traffic" or AADT and are represented on traffic count or traffic volume maps. The AADT is based on a short-term traffic count, usually 48 hours, taken at the location. This count is then adjusted for the variation in traffic volume throughout the year and the average number of axles per vehicle.
Traffic counts are rounded according to the following scheme:
|AADT Range
|Rounding Scheme
|0 - 999
|Round to the nearest ten
|1,000 – 99,999
|Round to the nearest hundred
|100,000 or more
|Round to the nearest thousand

I wanted them to add more color to the menu cards and they did it for us. Perfect.
good cards, great customer service
This card turned out really well. Magnet Streets customer service is great. I had a coupon code that for whatever reason wouldn't work for me. In my remarks, I told them about my problem with the coupon. I received a response back soon after where they had adjusted my price to include the discount from the coupon.

XARELTO® is the first and only novel oral anticoagulant with:
- 6 indications approved by the FDA,
- >90% of commercial and Medicare patients covered at the lowest branded co-pay,2
- >6 million prescriptions in the US,3
- >55,000 patients included in phase 3 trials,4-12 and
- Convenient oral dosing and no routine coagulation monitoring5-10,13
XARELTO® is available in multiple indications:
Reducing stroke risk in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (AF)
- Reducing the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. There are limited data on the relative effectiveness of XARELTO® and warfarin in reducing the risk of stroke and systemic embolism when warfarin therapy is well controlled.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) treatment and reduction in the risk of recurrence
- Treatment of DVT.
- Treatment of PE.
- Reduction in the risk of recurrence of DVT and of PE following initial 6 months treatment for DVT and/or PE.
DVT prophylaxis after knee or hip replacement surgery
- Prophylaxis of DVT, which may lead to PE in patients undergoing knee replacement surgery.
- Prophylaxis of DVT, which may lead to PE in patients undergoing hip replacement surgery.
*Among Factor Xa inhibitors and direct thrombin inhibitors.
Important Safety Information
Premature discontinuation of any oral anticoagulant, including XARELTO®, increases the risk of thrombotic events. If anticoagulation with XARELTO® is discontinued for a reason other than pathological bleeding or completion of a course of therapy, consider coverage with another anticoagulant.
Epidural or spinal hematomas have occurred in patients treated with XARELTO® who are receiving neuraxial anesthesia or undergoing spinal puncture. These hematomas may result in long-term or permanent paralysis. Consider these risks when scheduling patients for spinal procedures. Factors that can increase the risk of developing epidural or spinal hematomas in these patients include:
Use of indwelling epidural catheters
Concomitant use of other drugs that affect hemostasis, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), platelet inhibitors, other anticoagulants, see Drug Interactions
A history of traumatic or repeated epidural or spinal punctures
A history of spinal deformity or spinal surgery
Optimal timing between the administration of XARELTO® and neuraxial procedures is not known
Monitor patients frequently for signs and symptoms of neurological impairment. If neurological compromise is noted, urgent treatment is necessary.
Consider the benefits and risks before neuraxial intervention in patients anticoagulated or to be anticoagulated for thromboprophylaxis.
Active pathological bleeding
Severe hypersensitivity reaction to XARELTO® (eg, anaphylactic reactions)
Increased Risk of Thrombotic Events After Premature Discontinuation: Premature discontinuation of any oral anticoagulant, including XARELTO®, in the absence of adequate alternative anticoagulation increases the risk of thrombotic events. An increased rate of stroke was observed during the transition from XARELTO® to warfarin in clinical trials in atrial fibrillation patients. If XARELTO® is discontinued for a reason other than pathological bleeding or completion of a course of therapy, consider coverage with another anticoagulant.
Risk of Bleeding: XARELTO® increases the risk of bleeding and can cause serious or fatal bleeding. Promptly evaluate any signs or symptoms of blood loss and consider the need for blood replacement. Discontinue XARELTO® in patients with active pathological hemorrhage.
A specific antidote for rivaroxaban is not available. Because of high plasma protein binding, rivaroxaban is not expected to be dialyzable.
Concomitant use of other drugs affecting hemostasis increases the risk of bleeding. These include aspirin, P2Y12 platelet inhibitors, other antithrombotic agents, fibrinolytic therapy, and NSAIDs.
Spinal/Epidural Anesthesia or Puncture: When neuraxial anesthesia (spinal/epidural anesthesia) or spinal puncture is employed, patients treated with anticoagulant agents for prevention of thromboembolic complications are at risk of developing an epidural or spinal hematoma, which can result in long-term or permanent paralysis. To reduce the potential risk of bleeding associated with the concurrent use of rivaroxaban and epidural or spinal anesthesia/analgesia or spinal puncture, consider the pharmacokinetic profile of rivaroxaban. Placement or removal of an epidural catheter or lumbar puncture is best performed when the anticoagulant effect of rivaroxaban is low; however, the exact timing to reach a sufficiently low anticoagulant effect in each patient is not known. An epidural catheter should not be removed earlier than 18 hours after the last administration of XARELTO®. The next XARELTO® dose is not to be administered earlier than 6 hours after the removal of the catheter. If traumatic puncture occurs, the administration of XARELTO® is to be delayed for 24 hours. Should the physician decide to administer anticoagulation in the context of epidural or spinal anesthesia/analgesia or lumbar puncture, monitor frequently to detect any signs or symptoms of neurological impairment, such as midline back pain, sensory and motor deficits (numbness, tingling, or weakness in lower limbs), or bowel and/or bladder dysfunction. Instruct patients to immediately report if they experience any of the above signs or symptoms. If signs or symptoms of spinal hematoma are suspected, initiate urgent diagnosis and treatment including consideration for spinal cord decompression even though such treatment may not prevent or reverse neurological sequelae.
Use in Patients With Renal Impairment:
Nonvalvular Atrial Fibrillation: Avoid the use of XARELTO® in patients with creatinine clearance (CrCl) <15 mL/min, since drug exposure is increased. Discontinue XARELTO® in patients who develop acute renal failure while on XARELTO®.
Treatment of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), Pulmonary Embolism (PE), and Reduction in the Risk of Recurrence of DVT and of PE: Avoid the use of XARELTO® in patients with CrCl <30 mL/min due to an expected increase in rivaroxaban exposure and pharmacodynamic effects in this patient population.
Prophylaxis of Deep Vein Thrombosis Following Hip or Knee Replacement Surgery: Avoid the use of XARELTO® in patients with CrCl <30 mL/min due to an expected increase in rivaroxaban exposure and pharmacodynamic effects in this patient population. Observe closely and promptly evaluate any signs or symptoms of blood loss in patients with CrCl 30 to 50 mL/min. Patients who develop acute renal failure while on XARELTO® should discontinue the treatment.
Use in Patients With Hepatic Impairment: No clinical data are available for patients with severe hepatic impairment. Avoid use of XARELTO® in patients with moderate (Child-Pugh B) and severe (Child-Pugh C) hepatic impairment or with any hepatic disease associated with coagulopathy, since drug exposure and bleeding risk may be increased.
Use With P-gp and Strong CYP3A4 Inhibitors or Inducers: Avoid concomitant use of XARELTO® with combined P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (eg, ketoconazole, itraconazole, lopinavir/ritonavir, ritonavir, indinavir/ritonavir, and conivaptan). Avoid concomitant use of XARELTO® with drugs that are P-gp and strong CYP3A4 inducers (eg, carbamazepine, phenytoin, rifampin, St. John's wort).
Risk of Pregnancy-Related Hemorrhage: In pregnant women, XARELTO® should be used only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the mother and fetus. XARELTO® dosing in pregnancy has not been studied. The anticoagulant effect of XARELTO® cannot be monitored with standard laboratory testing and is not readily reversed. Promptly evaluate any signs or symptoms suggesting blood loss (eg, a drop in hemoglobin and/or hematocrit, hypotension, or fetal distress).
Patients With Prosthetic Heart Valves: The safety and efficacy of XARELTO® have not been studied in patients with prosthetic heart valves. Therefore, use of XARELTO® is not recommended in these patients.
Acute PE in Hemodynamically Unstable Patients/Patients Who Require Thrombolysis or Pulmonary Embolectomy: Initiation of XARELTO® is not recommended acutely as an alternative to unfractionated heparin in patients with pulmonary embolism who present with hemodynamic instability or who may receive thrombolysis or pulmonary embolectomy.
Avoid concomitant use of XARELTO® with other anticoagulants due to increased bleeding risk, unless benefit outweighs risk. Promptly evaluate any signs or symptoms of blood loss if patients are treated concomitantly with aspirin, other platelet aggregation inhibitors, or NSAIDs.
XARELTO® should not be used in patients with CrCl 15 to 80 mL/min who are receiving concomitant combined P-gp and moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors unless the potential benefit justifies the potential risk.
Pregnancy Category C: XARELTO® should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to mother and fetus. There are no adequate or well-controlled studies of XARELTO® in pregnant women, and dosing for pregnant women has not been established. Use XARELTO® with caution in pregnant patients because of the potential for pregnancy-related hemorrhage and/or emergent delivery with an anticoagulant that is not readily reversible. The anticoagulant effect of XARELTO® cannot be reliably monitored with standard laboratory testing.
Labor and Delivery: Safety and effectiveness of XARELTO® during labor and delivery have not been studied in clinical trials.
Nursing Mothers: It is not known if rivaroxaban is excreted in human milk.
Pediatric Use: Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.
Females of Reproductive Potential: Females of reproductive potential requiring anticoagulation should discuss pregnancy planning with their physician.
Discontinue XARELTO® and initiate appropriate therapy if bleeding complications associated with overdosage occur. A specific antidote for rivaroxaban is not available. The use of activated charcoal to reduce absorption in case of XARELTO® overdose may be considered. Due to the high plasma protein binding, rivaroxaban is not expected to be dialyzable.
The most common adverse reactions with XARELTO® were bleeding complications.

Serge Lutens
Frederic Malle
Parfumerie Generale
Comme des Garcons
By Kilian
...in roughly that order.
There are so many niches houses that I've yet to explore, but of the ones I know I've been consistently impressed by -
Les Parfums de Rosine - Not surprising since I can't ever seem to get my fill of wonderful rose fragrances, but I've sniffed and love almost all of their sublime roses; Rose Kashmirie, Rose d'Eté, Diabolo Rose, Poussiere de Rose, Zephir de Rose and Rose d'Amour are current favorites.
Keiko Mecheri - I adore her fragrances, especially Loukhoum (plus Eau Poudrée and Parfum du Soir), Gourmandises, Attar de Roses, Damascena, White Petals, Ume, Cuir Cordoba, etc...
Lorenzo Villoresi - Teint de Neige alone puts him on my list, and Donna, Alamut, and Dilmun just reinforce the choice.
Ineke - my favorites are Chemical Bonding and Evening Edged in Gold, but I think everything she makes is well-crafted and beautiful (and very affordable!)
Frederic Malle - Lipstick Rose, Une Rose and Iris Poudre are my favorites so far, but I get the feeling that almost everything from this house could end up on my Wish-List.
Ava Luxe - I'm just scratching the surface here, but Pivoine Rose, No. 23 and Ouillet Blanc are the first to come to mind. This is another very affordable line, and Serena's variety and talent seems infinite - thank goodness she's back!
Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. ..Carl Sagan
Ormonde Jayne - I love Ormonde Woman, Ormonde Man, Orris Noir, Tolu, Ta'if, Champaca, Sampaquita and Frangipani
Serge Lutens - Love most of his creations.
Etro - So far I have come to love: Dianthus, Shaal Nur, Heliotrope
The Different Company - Jasmin de Nuit is a top favourite, Bois d'Iris, Bergamote, Sel de Vetiver
Then there are those houses from which I only love one or two scents, but those are serious affairs : Keiko Mecheri - Ume, M. Micallef - Gaiac, Parfums de Nicolai - Vanille Tonka, Bois 1920 - Vento di Fiori and Vetiver Ambrato, I Profumi di Firenze - Ambra del Nepal, Le Labo - Labdanum 18, and Isabey for the fabulous Gardenia.
I've tried a lot of niche houses and have favorites from different ones. However, I keep coming back to the following:
The Different Company: Jasmin de Nuit is amazing! I also enjoy Sublime Balkiss in the summer, too.
Jayne Ormonde: Favorites are Ta'if, Champaca, and Woman (in this order).
L'Artisan and Keiko Mecheri have a lot of fun scents. I like Keiko Mecheri Ume, L'Artisan Saffron Rose, and others.
Ava Luxe - I keep coming back to Serena's fragrances and wear them more than almost any other single perfumer. Also, I love Andy Tauer's scents - as an incense fiend, I love his fragrances.
Miller Harris also strikes a chord with me.
And yes, Lutens, Malle, L'Artisan.

This is my very first post in Basenotes. I'm comparatively new to niche perfumery, but can already say I love:
- Parfum d'Empire
- Serge Lutens
I'm really looking forward to try some Amouage on my skin, as I've read so much about it. In time...
Hi Nuria G, welcome to Basenotes!
Oh, thanks a lot, Kiliwia. I hope this forum will be just the right place to learn more and more about perfume - the more you know, the more you realize all that's left to explore.
"What is this secret connection between the soul, and sea, clouds and perfumes? The soul itself appears to be sea, cloud and perfume..." - from Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis.
It's only been just over 6 months since I discovered niche, Basenotes, and all things olfactorally-fabulous, but so far it's:
Serge Lutens (#1 by a mile!)
Tom Ford Private Blend
Frederic Malle
Parfum d'Empire
I'll be in London in a couple of weeks and would love to take the chance and buy something hard to find. Any suggestions?
l recommend you visit Les Senteurs, who stock a lot of niche brands. You can check out their website at lessenteurs.com. Happy shopping & enjoy your trip!
"What is this secret connection between the soul, and sea, clouds and perfumes? The soul itself appears to be sea, cloud and perfume..." - from Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis.
I don't know about something that's hard to find, but the one place I'd make sure to go is the Ormonde Jayne perfume shop on Old Bond Street. You can read about it at their online site.
Tom Ford
Frederic Malle
In this exact order, here are my top ten:
1. Parfums de Nicolai - I really cannot even imagine niche perfumery without this house. So many paradigmatic, impeccable accomplishments, and so many scents that suit me. My favorites from this house are: Vie de Chateau, Number One, New York, Cologne Sologne, and Jardin Secret, though I love almost every one.
2. Amouage - For me, this house epitomizes luxury and refinement in fragrance. Not every Amouage suits me, but I appreciate the plush redolence of the whole line. I also adore the unisex potential of the men's offerings. My favorites are: Dia Woman, Ubar, Memoir Woman, and Ciel Woman.
3. Histoires de Parfum - I was so surprised by this house, which I only recently dove into. Not only were an astonishing amount of their scents instant favorite and to my mind flawlessly executed, but I also found the line to be fascinatingly diverse. I love that they have been unpredictable while remaining so quality-conscious. This line feels like a harvesting of world class perfumes from a wide range of sources. My favorites are: Colette, Casanova, Marquis de Sade, and Vert Pivoine.
4. The Different Company- My favorites from this house are the original handful from Jean Claude Ellena, which are austere, ground-breaking beauties: Osmanthus, Bois d'Iris, Bergamote.
5. Divine - It seems Divine is 'all about' classical French scents, with an eye on refinement. The whole line is respectable, but the Divine original is the stand out. One of my favorite scents of all time.
6. MDCI Not a perfect line; some scents hardly stand up to designer cheapies. However, the few masterpieces of the bunch soar unrivaled, and are quite haunting. I love Invasion Barbare, Peche Cardinale, and Promesse de L'Aube
7. Lubin - A true original, and very affordable. The new offerings from this line are EXCITING.
In love with Itasca, Gin Fizz, and Bluff.
8. Parfumerie Generale - A really boldly modern and powerful line. Ranging from too-odd-to-enjoy to strangely-perfect. Luminaries from this line include Corps et Ames and Cuir d' Iris.
9. Fragonard - A classic. With many simple-yet-elegant offerings. And no riff raff. My favorites are Caresse and Rendez Vous.
10. Delrae- Floral fragrances that are wildly adventurous and stately at once! I love Debut, Coup de Foudre, and Amoureuse.
Last edited by Hillaire; 5th October 2010 at 09:26 PM. Reason: Font enhancements
Frederic Malle- I love that perfumers are recognised and are given creative freedom.
Amouage- I can only echo Hillaire's thoughts here. I love Christopher Chong's vision and the creative freedom Amouage have to create a superior quality scent.
Serge Lutens - someone I admire.
For sale. Carnal Flower and Vero Profumo Onda.
I'm also with Hillaire on some of these - very eloquently put.
1. Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle.
I think the quality is outstanding across the whole line. I also applaud Frederic Malle for putting portraits of the creators above the counter and I think the slightly oddball approach (Lipstick Rose, Dans Tes Bras, L'Eau de L'Hiver) is cool. In an industry where there seem to be so many trends and 'ready made lines' popping up with all the usual suspects it's refreshing that you really don't know what you're going to get with Malle - just that it will be good.
2. Amouage
I like the direction Amouage is taking. My guess is by bringing in the Library Collection to explore specific genres or one off ideas the Man + Woman story can unfold in it's own good time without commercial pressure - I mean Epic & Memoir are hardly crowd pleasers - can you imagine what a focus group would make of these? Thank you, Christopher Chong. And then, of course, there are the Attars . . . .
3. Parfums de Nicolai
Understated quality - personal favourites are New York & Nicolai Pour Homme but of the others I have tried (30ml - genius) Odalisque, Sacrebleu and Maharadjah seem quite special. There is a sense of old school charm with PdN that appeals to me - unfussy, nothing to prove. I even like the bottles.
4. Histoires de Parfum
Also a recent discovery for me - 1725 is my favourite but I like several from the line and think Moulin Rouge is fantastic - it's a pink L'Heure Bleue with a touch of Lipstick Rose.
Honourable mentions: Serge Lutens, The Different Company, Annick Goutal & Mr. Dubrana at profumo.it
Thanks, Teardrop and Kiliwia, for your kind suggestions. I've been to Les Senteurs during a previous visit, but not to Ormonde Jane (yet). I'm looking forward to.
