Customer Raves & Reviews
Nice design, questionable quality
I loved the Signature of Love design and was very happy that I could create my own colors. The personalization process was simple and I was able to create my save the dates, invitations and RSVP cards quickly. However, once my order arrived, I noticed that my darker green rubbed off onto the ivory parts of the invite or the part that was supposed to be green had speckles of white. Out of 125 invites, 35 were poor quality; out of 125 RSVP cards, 30 were poor quality. I contacted customer service and they quickly re-printed and sent me a new batch. The new ones are high quality, thank goodness! I think they send you a couple extras just in case of color rubbing off during packing/shipping because there were still some poor quality ones in my new order but I still have plenty (about 120) that are pristine. Thank you to the customer service team that took care of my concerns so quickly!
Great Wedding Stationary
Our thank you notes turned out great and the Signature of Love pattern matched our invitations and RSVP cards so we had a unified look. Plus we got 25% off the invitations for getting the save-the-dates and another 25% off the thank-yous for getting the invitations. It was a great deal and the products turned out wonderful!
My Signature of Love invites and RSVP cards arrived very quickly (standard shipping to Canada) with no extra brokerage fees, duties or taxes. The invites are very nice quality and came exactly as requested. Very happy with this purchase
The "Signature of Love" wedding invitations are so beautiful and elegant! My fiancé and I just fell in love with the gate-fold invites because they were unique and simple. PLUS, we were able to fit all the necessary information about our ceremony, reception, and hotel accommodations all on this one invite! (Which meant less extra cards to purchase and less postage :) And they shipped here so fast! I got my whole order of 100 invitations, RSVP Postcards, and extra envelopes in only 4 DAYS! My order came in this amazingly sturdy teal-colored box, with all my products perfectly wrapped and neatly arranged. I addition, they gave me an awesome little catalogue with samples and pictures of their other products, along with a 25% off coupon for my next order! My favorite part about MagnetStreet is the ability to personalize all their products with your wedding colors, text, and various fonts SO EASILY! This was my second order from them (I previously purchased their "Devoted" Save the Date Magnets which were PHENOMENAL and all our guests LOVED :) MagnetStreet takes the hassle and stress out of ordering wedding invitations. Brides-To-Be, don't even bother browsing and searching dozens of other wedding invitation websites; trust me when I say there is absolutely no comparison to MagnetStreet's great quality products with remarkably easy personalization tools :) I will definitely be ordering from them in the future!
Wedding Invitations
I thought the customer service was phenomenal. I ordered my invitations and received them a week later. When I opened the box I was well pleased. The design was gorgeous and the quality of the invitation was great. Overall I would definitely suggest this "Signature of Love" invitation.

I will need to work on this. But I can tell you right now that Guerlain QVLP is probably at the top of the list.
Now - to start assembling my answer...
Thread: What Is YourFB Fantasy Wardrobe?
I doubt I am the only one here who dreams up the perfect perfume wardrobe... you know, that collection of scents I'd quickly compile if I became either magically wealthy (or magically magical )...
I find when I imagine which more-prohibitive fragrances I would care to have, some of the stuff I actually own in real life becomes superfluous. My fantasy wardrobe would be somewhat pared down actually, yet replete with oh so many more really pricey scents .
I thought it would be fun to start a thread, in which we could each 'flesh out' our fantasy wardrobes in written format...sorted by house, genre... or whatever. I'd so love to see what many of my fragrant compeers would hypothetically 'spring for' and/ or deem valuable, in the event of unfettered perfume manifestation!
I am moreover curious to see if our collections might shrink or grow!
And unlike the restrictive "only X amount" threads, this one is an exercise in LACK of restraint.
PS I don't want to go first...
Last edited by Hillaire; 29th April 2010 at 03:25 AM.
Mine's easy! It's basically a pared down version of my current drobe, with an addition and modification or two....
Chanel No. 22 edt
Tabac Blond edp
Borneo 1834
Le'a (Saffron James)
Nuit de Noel in extrait
Bal a Versailles edt
Eau Premiere
No. 5 edp
....and maybe Bandit, Agent P Strip, Chanel Gardenia.
Do my posts get repetitive, or what ?

Last edited by Hillaire; 2nd May 2010 at 04:54 AM.
Oh wow Hillair this thread is way-cool! Without financial constraints I would have two 1000 ml. gold Bee bottles of everything Guerlain makes, 500 ml of the Chanels, 500 ml of the Patous, a plethora of vintage fumes and a walk-in environment controlled fragrance storage archival room. I have always had a hard time thinking big in life but, this would be a good start.
Last edited by N_Tesla; 29th April 2010 at 05:50 AM.
Do you know, I think I'd be one of those whose wardrobes would shrink? Or at least stay about the same. I've discovered my must-have's. The rest are there for variety, and because I love to sniff something new. But with my fantasy wardrobe I'd probably be so focused I'd become a fragrance hermit.
It would all be about quantity and presentation:
I'd get Guerlain's large Bee bottles of Shalimar and L'Heure Bleue in extrait and edp. At least three of each, for fear that they'll be further butchered in the future. And Habit Rouge edp - before they send it to the chopping block. But spaced out a bit, mind you, so I can enjoy each purchase. Then, let's see, the largest pure parfum of Chanel No. 5 to be had (for the lady). And then I'd spend a little time tracking down the largest, most pristine bottles of vintage Shalimar extrait and LHB edc so I could enjoy the real deal for years to come.
Then I'd go N_Tesla's route: Presentation. A special temperature controlled room, custom cabinetry, tabriz rug, a few choice pieces of real Louis XVth furniture, and a Regency footstool.
Anakin: What was that all about?
Obi-Wan: Well, R2 has been...
Anakin: No loose wire jokes.
Obi-Wan: Did I say anything?
Anakin: He's trying.
Obi-Wan: I didn't say anything!
This was tougher than I thought! I initially wrote an enormous list, but then I kept on thinking "Hmm, but if I have that, will I really be pining for that?" And so on. So here is the really, really short version, with my reasons for each!
Amouage - Ubar
So sophisticated in classical, vintage fragrance way - yet, I've never smelled anything quite like this.
Ava Luxe - Midnight Violet
Dark, moody, animal-centered violet of great beauty and now? Gone forever.
Comme des Garcons - Champaca
Luscious, natural narcissus for when I want a clear, natural flower scent rather than an abstract floral.
Comme des Garcons - Stephen Jones
Bitter, almost icy violet with a heart of stone. Aldehydes at their most majestic and arresting.
Czech & Speake - Dark Rose
My first oud meets rose, and after a large number of others using this combo, has remained the favorite.
Czech & Speake - No. 88
Geranium oriental with 'tude. It's a difficult yet interesting friend I like having around.
Dior - Poison
Weighty floriental overflowing with personality - and sillage! Vintage eau de toilette is my preferred variety.
Estee Lauder - Private Collection Tuberose Gardenia
Deep, creamy, realistic tuberose and gardenia. Dozens on, still the best of the gardenias I've tried.
Frederic Malle - Carnal Flower
Luscious green tuberose - easily the most natural among the tuberoses I've chosen.
Frederic Malle - En Passant
Dewy green lilac that evokes strong emotions in me, only deepened by personal "history" involving it.
Gucci - L'Arte di Gucci
Rose chypre with an intense animal personality like no other, even within its own little genre.
Montale - Black Aoud
My new tolerance of patchouli has suddenly made me need a full bottle of this. Odd how that happened.
Montale - Oud Cuir d'Arabie
Oud, rose, and a medical leather I suspect derives a lot of its oomph from birch tar. Animal, yet chilly - almost predatory.
Neil Morris - Gandhara
Earthy, heavily animal, yet lush and transparent jasmine. Easily my favorite jasmine out there.
Parfumerie Generale - Cuir d'Iris
Cardamon-tinged dry, spicy, tannic leather. Most aggressive on this list.
Parfumerie Generale - Tubereuse Couture
Fascinating mixed floral with a sugar-cane note that takes me back to Miami.
Parfums DelRae - Amoureuse
My favorite top notes of any fragrance. I do not say that lightly! Otherwise, a very enjoyable tuberose chypre.
Penhaglion's - Elixir
Hypnotic blend of wood-steam, rose, and transparent spices. I keep being drawn to this, and it evokes good memories.
Patou - Patou pour Homme
The only classical masculine that's ever captured my imagination. Everything you've heard is true!
Serge Lutens - Fille En Aiguilles
Sometimes a man needs candy. Fille does this in a hallucinatory candied pine, and is my favorite of Sheldrake's syrups.
Serge Lutens - Iris Silver Mist
Carrots and iris, earthy with an edge - I'd wear this once in a blue moon, but I'd love to have it around.
Serge Lutens - Rose de Nuit
My second representative of the dark, dense, moody rose chypres, but in first place in my heart. To my nose, it's just the densest, darkest, and driest of this category.
Serge Lutens - Tubereuse Criminelle
My favorite fragrance for some time, now a favorite among equals. Wintergreen is an under-appreciated note.
Guerlain Djedi. My number one fantasy.
I think I have all of the others that I couldn't live without. Still I wouldn't mind the following additions:
The complete Caron collection in the best formula.
Perfectly preserved bottles of Ernest Beaux's Chanels as they were when he first made them -not that I don't love the current versions.
All of Jacques Guerlain's perfumes as they were when he first made them.
A little something that JP Guerlain throws together for me.
And finally, a box of mystery perfumes, selected by other members of the forum. It would contain those perfumes that I have managed to pass up -although I should have known better.

COMING TO THE CONCLUSION THAT I ALMOST HAVE MY PERFECT WARDROBE, MISSING ABOUT 20 perfumes...
Last edited by bookshop88; 2nd May 2010 at 08:57 AM.
chanel 5
pure poison
Could chooose more, but I'd only really need FB of those above.
cause,,, for ex, I adore 24 faubourg, but, I haven;t touched the 100 ml bottle, and bearely consumed 6-7 ml of the little travel bottle.
Of some I've got bored, and so on...
"Diego: Why did you do that? you could've died trying to rescue me.
Manfred: That's what you do in a herd: you look out for each other. " (Ice Age)
N_Tesla and Mr. Bon Vivant, I love the idea of a climate-controlled perfume room replete with display cabinets... I could/ would love to design a fabulous one of these, so keep me in mind, gentlemen, if you ever DO hit the big time. Seriously, this idea has me VERY excited, how FUN.
Gee whiz- I really don't know where to start -
I want whatever is in Mr. Guerlain's wardrobe and on his website- that will do me nicely - all his limited editions and rarities.
Also Carnal Flower by F Malle.
And... that $1000 bottle of Joy parfum in Baccarat and whatever else I have missed out from the Guerlain trunk show... that covers it ! *LOL*

For sale. Carnal Flower and Vero Profumo Onda.
I am hoping you are not right Hillaire, but I AM afraid that you ARE right!!
Someday someone will release me from this hobby, until then I will continue with me PERFECT wardrobe building!!
Last edited by bookshop88; 30th April 2010 at 06:38 AM.
I really thought about my dream wardrobe and about making it small. That's why I try to build it basic and make it bigger. That's fun, as I learn, which are my priorities.
Basic (= the one perfume I could never ever live without):
Extended Basic (= hard to live without):
Tabac Blond (extrait)
No.5 (extrait)
Le Dix (vintage)
Bigger (= I'd miss them big time):
Jolie Madame (vintage)
No.19 (vintage)
Cuir de Lancome
All I need to be happy forever (as far as I know today):
Shocking (vintage)
Miss Dior (vintage)
Dioressence (vintage)
Bois de Iles (extrait)
Cuir de Russie (extrait)
Nuit de Noel (extrait)
Rose de Nuit
Vent Vert (vintage)
Ivoire de Balmain
Bal a Versailles
Knize Ten
Narcotic Venus
Joop femme
I think, the variety of these 25 perfumes is big enough to make me happy in every mood, every clothes and every weather. I don't own them all (the ones italic). I would have to spend some serious money to complete it. But maybe the thread is a good reminder of what to spend money on?
I have a to-try list and I think, that one or another would make it to my wardrobe, e.g.: No.22 or Quadrille. That's why the search will never end, I suppose. The last big surprise was Le Dix, which I found in a phase, where I thought, I'd sniffed it all -> everything is just a variation of my must-haves. Through Le Dix I found the other gems of Balenciaga. So, you'll never know.
At this moment in time I would be very happy to have all of the following in my FB
Fantasy Wardrobe:-
Rive Gauche
Douce Amere
Feminite Du Bois
Daim Blond
Hypnotic Poison Elixir
Visa (the new version)
Eau Sauvage
Dior homme
Iris Poudre
Loukhoum Eau Poudree
Anne Pliska
L'infante (Divine)
Paestum Rose (Eau d'Italie)
Apres l'Ondee
Am I being a little greedy here??

Changed my mind today. At the moment, my dream collection would be a huge amount of Green Tea. Plain. But I can wear it anytime, it never ever makes me sick, not even when I have high fever. I always return to it somehow.
"Diego: Why did you do that? you could've died trying to rescue me.
Manfred: That's what you do in a herd: you look out for each other. " (Ice Age)
I think my fantasy wardrobe would include much of what I am happy to already own, but in parfum form, plus famous scents from the past, including:
Coty Chypre
Jacques Fath Iris Gris
I tiptoe up to the plate, as my list is so small most will find me small minded and short on creativity. But if I were shut down today, no more samples, here is what I could live with for the rest of my life with complete happiness:
Caron Or et Noir, En Avion, Alpona, Pour une Femme, Tabac Blonde
Guerlain Chamade, L'heure Bleue, Mitsouko, Apres L'Ondee, Nahema
Ah hem.... that's it, actually.

Imagine how I feel. Everyone is so tight and restrained.
I guess I was playing it more "magical manifestation", rather than what I'd be happy enough to 'live with'.
Fun. I'll just list a few I have never smelled that I suspect will complete my existence - for now.
Quand Vient la Pluie. I think L'Heure Bleue & Apres l'Ondee are the two most beautiful scents in the world, and I also consider Insolence EDP a new sibling to these, all reports suggest QVLP is the other contemporary 'sister'.
Creed Neroli Sauvage. I like Neroli / Orange Flower and it seems from comments here this might be the right one for summer, although I am also intrigued by the Xerjoff variation on this theme (along with a couple of other Xerjoffs I have recently read about).
Invasion Barbare. I know this will slip into the more conservative frame of mind part of my collection - just a matter of time.
Amouage Tribute. There are a couple of other Amouage attars I would also like to have at hand.
Creed Windsor and the Feuille Verte (?) - why not?
Aramis Havanna (Reserva?), L'Artisan Havanna Vanille & C&S Cuba. Just because.
L'Ombre Fauve. I have heard so much about it, sounds like an interesting one.
Oriental Lounge. I like Celine Ellena's touch and I am sure this will not disappoint.
1969. It was a good year and a psychedelic sunset opening sounds good to me.
Orange Star. I want to like another Andy Tauer as much as I like LADDM.
Cologne du Parmeur. Gotta have it.
And throw in a few Xerjoff & Grosmiths for the hell of it.
OK - of the ones I have sampled I would add . . . actually adding as we speak - the order is in for a couple of these..
Antico Caruso
Mazzolari Mazzolari
Every perfume in the world, past, present and future. So I could pick the scent for the mood/day/season and if I did not truly like a scent, I could find someone who did like it. (edit: And of course, have "back-up" for the inevitable change of mind!)
Dreamin' LARGE. (but where would I store it? I'd need a huge climate-controlled warehouse I guess. So... that as well.)

What a lot of fun! I think it would be great to have twin cellars: one for my husband's wine and one for my fragrances.
I have so much yet to discover that I won't attempt a comprehensive list. However, I can imagine being very happy with the following:
- A 100 ml bottle of each fragrance created by L'Artisan Parfumeur past, present, and future. Yes, all of them.
- A selection of mini Caron urns dispensing unlimited quantities of the best formulation of each of their fragrances. Yes, all of them.
- A bottle of each fragrance created by Parfumerie Generale past, present, and future. Yes, all of them.
- An unlimited supply of perfectly fresh Guerlain Chamade in extrait.
- An unlimited supply of perfectly fresh Etro Shaal Nur.
There, I'm happy. If not modest. :-)
Ah, Actiasluna, I see we were both thinkin' BIG tonight! :-)
Haunani... I believe modesty is overrated! (as my fantasy wardrobe was definitely not "modest")

I've got to admit I love the way our Hillaire dreams
My fantasy:
1. Every vintage formula that scentemental has ever mentioned ( where the hell does he find them, anyway?)
2. The original versions of Blenheim and Hamman Bouquets which Luca Turin wrote would be impossible to manufacture today due to price
( I doubt that even scentemental has the 100 year old formula juice for these two)
3. My basic humble wishlist: http://www.basenotes.net/wardrobe/30&t=wishlist&p=1&s=n
4. The best mysore sandalwood ever made.
Plus Windsor, Feuille Verte--and whatever Oliver made for The Pope.---Perhaps I could send Creed a blackmail note threatening to reveal the location of their secret salt lake (guarded by mutant civet felines) where they harvest ambergris from whales, unless they deliver these juices to my doorstep forthwith!
Yes . . .Those should keep me happy for a while . . .
My Wardrobe
Reviews: http://www.basenotes.net/reviews/30
Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.
My Antaeus can beat up your Armani.
I am absolutely Actiasluna + 1!!!
Some people with this 'hobby' have already described it, I see it as the only way to know the past & present (and with futuristic creations, the future).
My idea is that fragrance is the most intense experience we can have as humans, so there is no more intense way to experience all times than through fragrance. Therefor I also would like to own everything that was ever made. Of course, I would not like everything the same, but I am just curious about a production that somebody put in hard time work and energy to think it valuable to put in a bottle.
Being part of communities like these make that DREAM more possible than ever, there are SOOOO many perfumes, impossible to buy them all, and knowing there are sooo many produced AS WE SPEAK!
But I surely see an emancipation of this profession. Now, more than ever, are the NOSES becoming the stars instead of the producers (enablers).
When I read the Avantgarde I read an interview with Kurdijan himself! And he being ambitious enough to create an own line like that.
Us knowing noses is something of this time too, again thanks to communities like this. The personnel in stores do not even know what a nose is so to speak!
Good luck!
I would build a climate controlled room for my fragrances.
I would get a BIG bedroom where i could have a dresser where I could display the fragrances I currently wear.
I would pay a trustworthy and skilled person who could search for good vintage bottles of the classics on the internet and elsewhere and buy them for me.
I would buy the parfum of Shem-el-Nessim and Phul-Nana.
I would buy all Nicolaï perfumes, also the intense versions.
I have never yet tried an Amouage perfume, but I'm so rich you know, I don't have to get samples, I can buy all of them in full beautiful bottles.
I would buy Fleurissimo and definitely try out the Creeds to find out if there are more Creed fragrances I like.
Much more I can't say. I don't know enough. But Im sure that I would try out the Malle perfumes, the Ormonde Jayne perfumes, the Penhaligon's and Andy Tauer Perfumes. I also would try out the Guerlain and Chanel exclusives.
I also starting thinking about my wardrobe as an investment, like a bank account + interest. I have not yet sold a perfume, but when I see how expensive some perfumes get when they are discontinued. I had a large bottle Accenti when I bought it 7 years ago for a sale price, and look at it now! Another example, when Palazzo was discontinued I bought it on 'sale' in the city centre of Dublin. Look at it now! All the summer Escada's, extremely expensive. But I was thinking of saving all my perfumes and whatever I cannot use I'll give to my son when he gets older. By then so many will be discontinued or vintage formula's. This way I do not feel guilty anymore about buying :-)
The only problem is.....storage!!

Ooh, Novis2007, I definitely resonated with your climate controlled room, big bedroom, and personal perfume scout scenario!
What about this for a fantasy, Hillaire: ringside seats for the creation of new scents by all of your favorite noses and/or houses -- as early on in the process as you desire all the way to the launch of the finished product???????
Leesee... I love the way you think!

Oh yes, Leesee!
I would be something of a perfume-world "taste maker" -- a grande dame-type, who is known and revered worldwide and has total carte blanche to pop in on perfumers at work and guide their progress... but not a hard-working writer like Burr or Turin... more like a fragrance-oriented Diana Vreeland: I would have to do little more than be occasionally quotable and undeniably "fabulous".

I'd get a big nuclear bunker (absolutely, it has to have radiation protection... wars are not the same anymore ourdays ) under the country-side house that I already have.A bunker is a serious project. Keeping it always ready it a quyite big task too. Need to get rich first.
is there any of you who has a bunker?

BUT, whatever is used up until that time was for me and me only, so I do not save for the future, we are talking about the liquid that I was not able to use, because of shortage in time! HAHA!!

Oh Leesee this reminds me that I of course also will take courses in notes and perfume ingredients, not to be able to create my own scents but to know more about perfume. I don't have to work if I don't want to when I'm so rich so I will have lots of time to do that.
Oh, yikes. I really don't know. It could go two ways for me: either *everything* I remotely like should be included, or only the best of the best of the best. And I'm damn picky, so the second option would give me headaches.

It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely products of a deranged imagination.

Retired Springbok captain John Smit had a pop at New Zealand referee Bryce Lawrence on the team's arrival back in South Africa.
The 2007 World Cup-winning captain told local media what he told the world media after the Boks' defeat against Australia, which was that Lawrence took no notice of his complaints about illegal Wallabies play.
"Bryce is not difficult to communicate with, he just doesn't seem to listen very well,' said Smit. 'The one positive (of retirement) is that I won't ever have to be reffed by him again.'
Smit will play for two years with English club Saracens and retires from the international game having won a World Cup and lost in the quarter-finals in 2003 and 2011 against New Zealand and Australia respectively.
He said he was proud of the effort and acknowledged the warm reception the Boks got on arrival, when thousands greeted their home-coming.
Smit also said the future of South African rugby was bright and added he expected to see the core of the 2011 World Cup squad playing for the Boks in 2012.

When Fujifilm launched the X100, they certainly didn't expect it to raise so much interest among photography enthusiasts. Earlier this week, they announced the Fujifilm XPro1, which more specifically targets this demanding market.
One of the most visible changes follows a mainstream current trend: an interchangeable lens. To offer this, Fuji is also launching a range of 3 all-electronic prime lenses: a 18mm f/2 wide-angle, a 35mm f/1.4, and a 60mm f/2.4 macro-telephoto, equivalent respectively to a 28mm, a 50mm, and a 90mm. The X-Pro1 also has the optical/electronic viewfinder of the X100, and a set of magnifiers comes into play to match the field of view of the different lens focals. For the 60mm, the viewfinder displays how the image will be framed in your photo.
With the X-Pro1, Fuji launches a new generation of 16-Mpix APS-C sensor: the X-Trans CMOS. The innovation here is that instead of being grouped in 2x2 matrices (Bayer) with one red, one blue, and two green pixels, the pixels are grouped in 6x6 matrices with a slight majority of green pixels.
The goal of this new structure is to position the pixels more irregularly and thus avoid the moiré patterns that occur because of too-regular structure of conventional sensors. By doing this, Fuji was able to design the X-Pro1 without any optical low-pass (anti-aliasing) filters. Fuji claims that this gives the X-Pro1 better resolution than its competitors without creating moiré. It will be interesting to see if the moiré really is avoided and if the XPro1's resolution really is significantly better than its competitors'.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
High Tech in a Classic Package: The Hybrid Viewfinder
The X100 has been one of the most anticipated compact cameras. Although it looks like an old rangefinder, it is a very modern device. Its most obvious innovation is its hybrid viewfinder that combines both an optical viewfinder and an electronic one, projecting the information from the electronic viewfinder onto the optical one. And this really works!

I just posted this on my blog and figured I'd save anyone interesed in the info the trip over there:
Saturday was our fourth Art Out Loud event at the Society of Illustrators. Each time, Dan Dos Santos, Greg, and I have been getting a little more practiced and a little more relaxed at running these things. This time was no exception -- I could not have hoped for a more enjoyable event. (Plus, my mom was there to help out so, really, what could have gone wrong.)
We had three Hamilton King Award-winning artists, Jim Bennett, Greg Manchess, and Gary Kelley -- each with very different sensibilities -- all doing a painting demo at the same time. All of them are natural teachers. They engaged the audience immediately, and, talked and fielded questions for the entire four hours. Any one of them would have been a great speaker on their own but, I suspect, the decades of friendship between them had a lot to do with the warm and intimate atmosphere in the room.
Jim Bennett worked on a image for a 2008 calendar of his baseball paintings. (Anyone that knows Jim, knows that he's a baseball nut.) In the beginning he focused on the important details -- the lead character's expressions, body language, etc. After that, he worked very loosely and off the cuff. He talked a lot about letting himself make as many "mistakes" as possible, "playing around...watching for good things to happen." Otherwise he said that he'd be bored with the image and, "If I'm bored, than my viewer is going to be bored."
Greg Manchess worked on one of a series of paintings for a new hospital of cardiology. He talked about the importance of value in creating an image, "You can make something any color you want as long as you nail the value." He talked about the importance of good reference, but, that an artist needs to supplement that reference with observation and memory. He mentioned, "You don't get your style, your style gets you." And, "You shouldn't shy away from your influences...they are trying to show you a place you'd like to go." He talked about learning from Gary Kelley and then branching off on his own...while continuing to push himself. "No one is born an artist, it's takes lots of practice and hard work."
Gary Kelley worked in pastels on a alternate (un-chosen) sketch for a wine label. (He graciously donated the painting to the Society Student Scholarship auction to be held December 4th.) Gary also talked a lot about influence and discovery...constantly looking around at situations and artists to inform his work, and, his desire to explore themes in various media -- oils, pastels, monotype, etc. He worked with his fingers as much as he used the actual pastels. He said that a lot of his process is following instinct but, "Instinct isn't about me being who I am, it's about doing a lot of looking and being influenced by the things around me." He stated, "There are no secrets, just years of experience." He spoke a bit about his start as a graphic designer and how that has informed his sense of composition. When speaking about the painting he was working on he said, "I'm looking at this work as a piece of design as much as a picture of something," "I want to retain the feeling that there is still a drawing involved in this piece," and "although I want this to look a little naïve and graphic, there is still something of a Wyeth influence in me that let's me enjoy placing in the details."
All in all, a great event. The crowd was full without being cramped. I was particularly gratified that so many people made a point to let us know what a good time they had. A number of notable artists were in attendance: Peter de Seve, Duglad Stermer, Donato Giancola, Robert Crawford, and others. Two artsit/writers for an online magazine, Resolve40, came to report on it. If I catch that post, I'll update it here.
A huge thanks to Gary, Greg, and Jim for being so giving with their time and knowledge. Thanks, also, to Arkady Roytman, Jinju Wantanabe, Rusty Zimmerman, Mike Sysn, and Garret Campbell-Wilson for, once again, helping out. And, of course, thanks to everyone who came out for the event.
November 13th, 2006 #175
Irene, Dan, Greg thanks for dinner and thanks for organizing such an array of superstars.
This was the best one yet (mainly because we didn't have to kill ourselves to the very last minute to set it up)
Gary said he'll do a monotype demo next year if you invite him back. (fingers crossed)
November 13th, 2006 #176
Ahhhck! I needs to move my ass to NY. What a killer event.
Gary is da bomb-damn-diggity.

Thanks again to everyone that donated their time to make the event possible! It was perfect. I plopped myself right next to Greg and tried to take in as much as possible (he had some great war stories about the biz). It was a nice relaxed atmosphere with excellent demos. Can't wait for the next one!

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To determine whether you have a parasite infecting your digestive tract
When to Get Tested?
When you have diarrhea that lasts more than a few days and/or have blood or mucus in your loose stools, especially if you have drunk unpurified water while camping or have traveled outside of the United States
Sample Required?
A fresh or preserved stool sample, sometimes multiple samples collected on different days
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
An ova and parasite (O&P) exam is a microscopic evaluation that is used to look for parasites that have infected the lower digestive tract. The parasites are shed from the lower digestive tract into the stool. When thin smears of fresh or preserved stool are put onto glass slides and stained, the parasites and/or their eggs (ova) or cysts, the form in which the parasite is surrounded by a resistant cover or capsule, can be detected and identified under the microscope by a trained laboratorian. Different ova and parasites have distinct shapes, sizes, and internal structures that are characteristic of their species.
There are a wide variety of parasites that can infect humans. Each type of parasite has a specific life cycle and maturation process and may live in one or more hosts. Some parasites spend part of their life in an intermediate host, such as a sheep, cow, or snail, before infecting humans. Some infect humans "by accident." There are parasites that consist of a single cell while others are worms (helminths). Most parasites have more than one form through which they develop. Many have a mature form and a cyst and/or egg(ova) form. Some also have a larval phase, which is between the egg and the mature form. Ova are hardy and can exist for some time in the environment without living in a host and remain infectious.
The majority of people who are infected by gastrointestinal parasites become infected by drinking water or eating food that has been contaminated with the ova. Ova and parasites from infected people or animals are released in the stool and can then contaminate any water, food, or surfaces that come into contact with them. This contamination cannot be seen; the food and water will look, smell, and taste completely normal. People who ingest contaminated food or water can become infected and, without careful sanitation (handwashing and care with food preparation), the infection may be passed on to others.
Parasitic infections are especially a concern for certain groups such as infants, the elderly, and people with weakened immune systems such as those with HIV/AIDS. In these populations, a parasitic infection can result in serious symptoms and complications.
The most common symptoms of a parasitic infection are prolonged diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, mucus in stool, abdominal pain, and nausea. These symptoms typically arise days to weeks after exposure and persist. Some people may also have headaches and fever; others may have few or no noticeable symptoms. If diarrhea lasts more than a few days, it may lead to weight-loss, dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, dangerous conditions in children, the elderly and those with weak immune systems.
The three most common parasites in the United States are the single-cell parasites Giardia Entamoeba histolytica, and Cryptosporidium. Found throughout the world in even the most remote and pristine mountain streams and lakes, these parasites may infect swimming pools, hot tubs, and occasionally community water supplies.
- Giardia (Giardia lamblia, Giardia intestinalis, Giardia duodenalis) is the most common intestinal parasite affecting humans in the United States. There are an estimated 2 million Giardia infections in the U.S. each year. Worldwide, it infects 2% of adults and 6-8% of children in developed nations and almost 33% of people living in developing countries.
- Cryptosporidium (often called crypto) is the most common cause of recreational water-related disease outbreaks in the U.S.; outbreaks cause an estimated 300,000 cases of cryptosporidiosis each year.
- Entamoeba histolytica is common but only causes illness in about 10% to 20% of those infected.
In many cases, Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts can survive in water for weeks or months and are resistant to low levels of chlorine. The number of those infected with these parasites tends to increase during the summer months when more people are pursuing outdoor activities such as backpacking, hiking, and swimming and they unwisely or accidentally drink untreated water or contaminated food.
Those who travel outside the U.S., especially to developing nations, may be exposed to a much wider variety of parasites. In warm climates and places where water and sewage treatment are less effective, parasites are more prevalent. Besides Giardia, Cryptosporidium, and E. histolytica, there are also a wide range of flat worms, roundworms, hookworms, and flukes that can affect the digestive tract and other parts of the body. Visitors usually become infected by eating or drinking something that has been contaminated with the parasites' ova, even something as simple as ice cubes in a drink or a fresh salad, but some of the tiny worm-like parasites can also penetrate the skin, such as through the skin of the foot when someone is walking barefoot.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A fresh stool sample is collected in a clean container. The stool sample should not be contaminated with urine or water. Once it has been collected, the stool should either be taken to the laboratory within an hour after collection or transferred into special transport vials containing preservative solutions.
Often, multiple samples are collected and tested. These should be collected at different times on different days because parasites are shed intermittently and may not be in the stool at all times. Multiple samples can increase the likelihood that parasites will be detected.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

Common Questions
Ask a Laboratory Scientist
Form temporarily unavailable
Due to a dramatic increase in the number of questions submitted to the volunteer laboratory scientists who respond to our users, we have had to limit the number of questions that can be submitted each day. Unfortunately, we have reached that limit today and are unable to accept your inquiry now. We understand that your questions are vital to your health and peace of mind, and recommend instead that you speak with your doctor or another healthcare professional. We apologize for this inconvenience.
This was not an easy step for us to take, as the volunteers on the response team are dedicated to the work they do and are often inspired by the help they can provide. We are actively seeking to expand our capability so that we can again accept and answer all user questions. We will accept and respond to the same limited number of questions tomorrow, but expect to resume the service, 24/7, as soon as possible.

Optimal Antitrust Enforcement, Dynamic Competition, and Changing Economic Conditions
2010, Antitrust Law Journal
Haizhen Lin, Keith Hylton
The recent financial crisis and recession provide an opportunity to reexamine the dynamic versus static efficiency tradeoff in antitrust enforcement policy. We examine implications of the optimal antitrust enforcement model when dynamic efficiency is incorporated. The "dynamic enforcement model" examined here provides a positive theory of Section 2 doctrine, some suggestions for modifying enforcement in light of its dynamic costs, and implies antitrust enforcers should put a greater weight on dynamic efficiency during recessions.

Archery deer hunting is the unquestionable "big gun" of the southwestern West Virginia coalfields. It started out as a matter of necessity, but has evolved more into one of choice. Reason being, the four counties of Logan, Mingo, Wyoming and McDowell have offered nothing but the bow for deer since the late 1970's. But even on a statewide basis, the bow-benders continue to crowd out the former big daddy of them all, gun buck season. It looks like it will be more of the same for this year's again earlier archery deer season opener of September 28.
A lot has changed deer-wise since the late 1970's. That's when gun hunts produced something like ten deer on a local county basis. They now produce archery-only kill numbers in the neighborhood of a thousand! Long last, while deer herds have grown to nuisance proportions just about everywhere else, the herds here have finally begun to exhibit strong establishment and saturation.
What they lacked in numbers however, the coalfield deer more than made up for in quality. In testament, the trophy status of the bucks here has reached national acclaim. Deer have a way of defying the old axiom of strength in numbers. They are in fact better off when kept in balance with the food source. As a result, the once derided coalfields have become a mecca for the Mountain State's best quality deer.
The current deer management scheme is in fact geared more toward making the rest of the state akin to the gun-less four, than vice versa. By that we mean bigger bucks, healthier deer and better buck to doe ratios. The quality concept is now much more accepted than it once was. Media such as the Outdoor Channel may take much of the credit for fellow hunters convincing their counterparts to a great extent.
Other factors are aiding and abetting the archery growth along the way. Better technology in the compound bow and tree stand arenas has been a plus and again we must mention the many outdoor TV programs that have been a boon for both their educational and entertainment values. Another boon to the bow-hunter has been the expanding ability to concurrently hunt for other big game species like bear, boar and wild turkey from their same "deer-perch" or tree-stand.
This year alone for example, archers will be able to take a fall turkey (Oct. 12-19) in the local counties of Lincoln, Logan, Wyoming and McDowell. Archers should carefully check the county regulations and license requirements for concurrent hunting. Also, be advised that the archery boar season does not open until Oct. 12. Eventually, this may be addressed by the Commission for simplification sake so that deer, bear and boar open the same day.
As bow-hunters and all hunters crave for more regulatory simplification, it's the gun buck season opener that's continually being crowded out. With that once the only game in town, the archery and muzzleloader specialists have displaced it gradually over the years. What's more, the many other gun deer hunts from youth, antlerless, early antlerless, and Christmas options continue to whittle at the Thanksgiving week's gun buck popularity.
Getting back to that ever growing quest for bigger antlered bucks, still better than half of the Mountain State's Big Buck Contest typically antlered bucks come from just four of its 55 counties; Logan, Mingo, Wyoming and McDowell. Just last year, nine of the top ten were arrowed from the famous quad, with Mingo chalking up the top three. Still yet, four of the five top ten of all time were bagged at the gun-less four.
Like Old Man River, the good times for archery deer hunting just keep rolling along. This year should be no exception, especially at the southwestern coalfield counties.
