Illustrating Water
Monday, June 26, 2006
On his blog, Illustration Art, David Apatoff recently presented a two-part post on painting water, focusing in the second half on illustrator Stanley Meltzoff, who goes so far as to actually paint under water!
I was intrigued by those two posts and thought it might be fun this week to look at how a variety of illustrators from the 50's dealt with water, both above and below the waves, starting with these two monochromatic treatments by two relatively unknown - though certainly accomplished - illustrators from Argosy magazine.

Gluten Sensitivity & Infertility
I have seen a great deal of information supporting this. Studies going as far back as 1996 speak of the association between gluten and fertility. While most of the studies were done with celiac patients we have seen clinically that this association appears to be true for gluten sensitive patients as well.
In 2001, Gynecologic & Obstetric Investigation presented an article entitled: "Celiac disease: fertility and pregnancy". The authors noted that celiac disease may manifest clinically with an array of non-digestive symptoms such as dermatitis herpetiformis; dementia; depression; various neurological symptoms, osteoporosis; dental enamel defects, and anemia of various types. They also stated that important data have accumulated regarding the association between celiac disease, fertility and pregnancy.
The critical observation was made that: Many primary care obstetricians, gynecologists and perinatologists are not aware of these important relationships.
The authors made a review of the scientific literature and what was revealed was that patients with untreated celiac disease sustain significant delayed menarche (age when a women begins menstruating), earlier menopause, and increased prevalence of secondary amenorrhea (absence of menstrual bleeding).
They continued to state that patients with untreated celiac disease incur higher miscarriage rates, increased fetal growth restriction and lower birth weights.
Their conclusion was that improvement of celiac, with implementation of a gluten-free diet, may decrease miscarriage rates, improve fetal nutritional support and overall prenatal (period from 20 weeks of pregnancy to 1 month old) outcome.
In the Italian medical journal, Minerva Ginecologica, an article entitled: "Celiac disease and spontaneous abortion" was published in 2002.
The authors very correctly pointed out that celiac disease is only diagnosed in a small percentage of adult cases compared to the real situation because it is manifested with few symptoms, is in an atypical form, or occurrence is completely silent.
The aim of their study was to investigate the association between celiac disease and abortion, and evaluate whether patients suffering from recurrent spontaneous abortion might present an atypical or subclinical form of the disease.
Five women were positive for celiac disease. Four of these women formed part of a group of patients with a positive history of spontaneous abortion and one was from the control group.
Analysis of the cases from this study and those reported in the literature shows that tests to identify celiac should be extended to the population with a risk of developing spontaneous abortion.
These subjects should include those with a family history or clinical symptoms, in particular women with a history of multiple abortions.
In 1996 the European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology published an article entitled: "Gynaecological and obstetric disorders in celiac disease: frequent clinical onset during pregnancy or puerperium" (period after birth continuing for 6 weeks).
The author's aims were to determine:
1. The prevalence of gynaecological and obstetric problems in patients with celiac disease and the influence of strict gluten restriction on their occurrence,
2. The effect of pregnancy on the clinical course of celiac disease, and
3. The clinical features of those patients with onset of celiac during pregnancy and puerperium.
As mentioned in earlier research findings, this study also found that untreated celiac patients exhibited significantly later menarche, earlier menopause, increased prevalence of secondary amenorrhea and increased incidence of spontaneous abortions.
Patients who had adhered, in the long term, to a gluten-free diet had gynecological and obstetric history indistinguishable from controls.
They summarized by stating that the early diagnosis and treatment of celiac disease may avoid significant gynecological and obstetric complications.
And finally, an article just released a couple of weeks ago, May 25, 2010 in Fertility & Sterility, "Primary infertility as a rare presentation of celiac disease."
The authors reported a case of a 30-year-old woman presenting with primary infertility who on investigation was found to have celiac disease. After being on a gluten-free diet for 8 months she had a successful conception.
Their conclusions, much along the lines of the previous studies were as follows: We suggest that celiac disease should be checked in infertile patients of unexplainable etiology with anemia, as just changing their diet can solve their fertility problem.
Well that last sentence does sum it up very nicely. Let's reiterate: Just changing the diet can solve the ______ problem.
Yes in this case we're speaking of infertility, hormonal imbalance, spontaneous abortion, etc. But as you well know if you read this blog, there are very many symptoms/diseases we could insert into that sentence.
Infertility is a growing problem. It affects as many as 1 in 6 couples. Imagine if we could decrease those numbers by increasing the awareness of gluten intolerance. Now add delayed menarche, earlier menopause, and increased prevalence of secondary amenorrhea and spontaneous abortion to that list. How many women might that affect?
It's exciting to think of the good effects that could be created by making the women who suffer as well as the doctors who treat them aware of this association.
It's frustrating that we haven't arrived at that awareness level yet…
Not meaning to be redundant as I say this at the end of most posts, but we have to continue our grass roots movement. Awareness IS increasing, we just have to continue to work hard.
Speaking of increasing awareness, check out the July issue of "Better Homes & Gardens", page 202. The article is called "Gluten's Laws" and yours truly is featured. "Better Homes & Gardens" has the third largest distribution of all magazines in this country. See, we ARE making headway!
Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

The whole issue of gluten sensitivity is frustrating with the medical profession significantly at odds with the latest research, complicating not only pregnancies, but very serious illnesses. Cheers for keeping everyone aware of what it going on.

Great article Dr. Petersen.
I have personally seen gluten induced infertility in my own clinic. In every case, the couples were successful after eliminating gluten and addressing nutritional deficiencies associated with it. I have attached a diagram on nutritional deficiencies and fertility for anyone who is interested.
Keep up the good work!

Great article. I'm an IVF patient. After 8 IVFs I discovered that I'm gluten intolerant (diagnosed with lymphocytic colitis which ONLY responded to removing gluten from my diet - now symptom free). IVF 9 produced a near perfect embryo (zero fragmentation) but still didn't "stick". I've been gluten free for about 7 months and about to do IVF#10. I truly feel that I'm on the right path but at my age (46) my diagnosis has probably come way too late.
@Dr O: Great flowchart! I've got most of my supplements covered but see that I'm lacking in B vitamins.

My mom has Celiac and it's genetic so I suspect that I have it also, although I've never been officially diagnosed. Instead of going thru a colonoscopy I just went on the diet myself 2 years ago. It seems terrible, but it's really not that hard to do. There's been a huge improvement in my overall health, especially with my cycle. When I asked my OB-GYN about the link between IF and Celiac, she kinda down-played it and didn't really feel there was enough proof that it was a major concern. I'm sure there are different oppinions on that. I know that I feel a million times better, and my cycle became more regular and less painful. I am a huge believer that nutrition plays a huge role in your health.
women fertility
I underwent several IVF's and altho both my husband and I were medically the perfect couple to produce babies, nothing happened for 8 years. Finally a friend made me aware of some symptoms I had of gluten intolerance, fairly mild but i tried the gluten free diet and those symptoms went away completely within a few weeks and on the 6th IVF we had success three months after stopping gluten. 18 mths later, did frozen embryo cycle and pregnant first time with our second baby at aged 42. I am convinced my infertility was from the gluten sensitivity and it is very frustrating that fertility specialists dont check for this, and when I told them, they kind of fob you off. I feel at the end of the day one has to do your own reserch and try things out for yourself, you are the only one ultimately responsible for your health and of course are the only one to lose in the end if you dont do some homework. Do not rely on the doctors and specialists! Gluten sensistivity is a VERY real thing.

Entrepreneurs have long turned to angels and VCs to get off the ground. But government funding has been looking more attractive. (One day, government cuts. The next day, government spending. It's almost as if this federal budget thing is a bit complicated.)
SBA administrator Karen Mills says the agency's SBIC program set a record for the third year in a row, awarding nearly $3B to privately owned and managed investment firms in fiscal-year '12. It marks a 14% increase over last year and an 85% bump over 2010. The fiscal-year '12 figures are the highest-single volume in the 54-year history of the SBA's program. She says the agency has made it easier and faster for investors to apply. Firms in the SBIC program use a combo of these funds and private sources to then make equity and mezzanine capital investments in small businesses. The most recent MoneyTree report tracking quarterly VC investments also shows entrepreneurs turning to Virginia's CIT funds and Maryland's TEDCO program for funding.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help diagnose and distinguish between autoimmune disorders as well as to monitor autoimmune disease progression
When to Get Tested?
When your antinuclear antibody (ANA) test is positive; when you have symptoms that suggest an autoimmune disorder; when monitoring the activity of an autoimmune disorder
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
An extractable nuclear antigen (ENA) panel detects the presence of one or more autoantibodies in the blood that react with proteins in the cell nucleus. These proteins are known as "extractable" because they can be removed from cell nuclei using saline.
Autoantibodies are produced when a person's immune system mistakenly targets and attacks the body's own tissues. This attack can cause inflammation, tissue damage, and other signs and symptoms that are associated with an autoimmune disorder.
Certain autoimmune disorders are characteristically associated with the presence of one or more anti-ENA antibodies. This association can be used to help diagnose an autoimmune disorder and to distinguish between disorders.
The ENA panel typically consists of a group of 4 or 6 autoantibody tests. The number of tests performed will depend on the laboratory and the needs of the health practitioners and patients it serves. Individual ENA panel tests can also be ordered separately.
A 4-test ENA panel will include:
|Autoantibody Test
|Formally Known As
|Anti-U(1)RNP, Anti-Ribonucleoprotein
|Smith Antibody
|Anti-SS-A (Ro)
|Anti-Sjögren Syndrome A
|Anti-SS-B (La)
|Anti-Sjögren Syndrome B
A 6-test ENA panel will include the four tests listed above as well as:
|Autoantibody Test
|Formally Known As
|Scleroderma Antibodies; anti-topoisomerase
|Antihistidyl Transfer RNA Synthase Antibodies
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
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.

This week's Spotlight is on Patrick Roye of Luna, Inc.
Patrick works on accelerating Luna's processing algorithms using GPUs. He and a team of engineers and scientists are developing a prototype system that uses CUDA to calculate the shape of a fiber-optic sensor in real-time.
Luna's shape-sensing systems, which are currently in development, will be used to guide the next generation of medical robotic systems safely through a patient's body. Read Patrick's full Spotlight here. Excerpt:
NVIDIA: What are some applications of Luna's technology?
Patrick: One of our key target markets is healthcare, including the area of Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS). Luna's shape-sensing systems, which are currently in development, calculate the shape of fiber-optic sensors in real-time.
NVIDIA: Why did you choose to work with GPUs?
Patrick: The processing for our shape-sensing technology was initially developed on FPGAs, which allowed us to transfer and process data at extremely low latencies, on the order of milliseconds. But when higher levels of accuracy required us to increase the number of points and complexity of our algorithms, the FPGAs we were using were no longer a viable option.
Fortunately, at the same time the door closed on our FPGAs, NVIDIA opened a window with the announcement of GPUDirect RDMA. Since we had used CUDA a year earlier to accelerate our strain and temperature sensing calculations, we already had an idea of the advantages of GPU-accelerated processing. With GPUDirect RDMA and CUDA-accelerated processing, we determined that we could perform data acquisition and minimal processing on an FPGA, transfer our data directly to the GPU for processing and then transfer the results back to the FPGA fast enough to meet our real-time requirements.
NVIDIA: What approaches did you find useful for developing on the CUDA platform?
Patrick: The algorithm requires over 100 kernels, operating on tens-of-thousands of data points. All kernels must complete before the next data set arrives from the FPGA, so every kernel had to be optimized to run as fast as possible. Here are a few tips I learned from this extreme optimization process.
- Get it working first. There's no point in doing something fast if you're doing it wrong.
- Take time to generate comprehensive unit tests for each of the kernels. Once you begin optimizing, these unit tests will be invaluable for ensuring your optimizations don't introduce new processing bugs.
- Implement each kernel a few different ways. There were a few times where an implementation I was almost certain would be slower turned out to be the fastest one. Additionally, thinking through multiple solutions to one kernel may give you an idea that helps accelerate a different kernel later on.
NVIDIA: Tell us about some of the computations performed by the many CUDA kernels you use.
Patrick: Our algorithms employ FFTs, filters, complex integrals, complex derivatives, phase unwrapping, and a host of proprietary algorithms. We use CUFFT for our large FFTs, and everything else is custom. The most difficult algorithm to parallelize was the final shape calculation which integrates coordinate transform matrices to calculate the position and rotation of each point along the sensor.
NVIDIA: What types of parallel algorithms are being implemented?
Patrick: Many of our calculations are vector-based, making parallelization easy. But even after parallelizing, many of those operations had to be optimized for efficient global memory access. For more complicated calculations, we typically use reduction or partitioning.
NVIDIA: In your field, what are the biggest challenges going forward?
Patrick: In the future, we'd like to make our shape-sensing systems smaller and lighter. Currently, we require a motherboard, 64-bit CPU, and memory just so that we can set up the GPU and send kernels to it. That's a lot of space and energy required for components that basically act as glue between the FPGA and GPU. We're very excited about NVIDIA's mobile SoC (System-on-a-Chip) roadmap toward Parker, which we hope will allow us to shrink our design considerably by combining a next-generation Maxwell GPU with a 64-bit ARM CPU in a single package.

U.S. should intervene on side of peace in Syria
Some senators and policy analysts, including several who enthusiastically supported the U.S. invasion of Iraq, are eagerly urging the Obama administration to escalate U.S. military support for the rebels. Secretary of State Kerry's visit to Moscow signals that the Obama administration may have decided to pursue a safer, saner course of diplomacy working with Russia and eventually with the U.N. Security Council to craft a united international initiative to propose and, hopefully, be prepared collectively to impose a plan for ending the conflict and implementing a political transition. Despite the failure of earlier diplomatic initiatives, in light of new dangers posed for all of the outside parties, a united international intervention may now be possible. Such an initiative would be very difficult for either the rebel coalition or the Syrian regime to reject.
The alternative of increasing U.S. military support for the rebels, including ideas of establishing "no fly zones" or "safe corridors" or "securing chemical weapons stockpiles," runs the risks of requiring direct U.S. military involvement and contributing to the chaos without necessarily accomplishing the downfall of the al-Assad regime. Increased U.S. military support for the rebels would also run the risk of triggering increased Russian and/or Iranian military involvement in support of the regime, turning the disastrous civil war into an even more dangerous regional war.
The war in Syria is complicated and dangerous in part because it is multi-layered. At the conflict's core is Syria's version of the Arab Spring, i.e., popular democratic citizen revolt against a decades-old dictatorial regime. This internal Syrian conflict that pits Sunnis against ruling Alawites is complicated by the broader regional Sunni-Shiite conflict between Saudi Arabia and Iran. Two additional layers have included a current version of the old Cold War conflict between the United States and Russia, and the newer conflict between the United States and Iran. Yet another layer in the civil war is conflict between extremist Salafist militants, some imported from outside Syria with connections to Al-Qaeda, and more mainstream Syrian religious and secular opponents of the Assad regime. With this degree of complexity and involvement by powerful outside parties, it is more likely that Syria will be completely torn apart, generating thousands more casualties and refugees, than that either side will decisively win.
The tragedy of the al-Assad regime's violent response to the popular, initially mostly nonviolent, uprising and the ensuing horrific civil war is compounded by Turkish reports that Bashar al-Assad was willing to engage in negotiations for peace with Israel. Building on benchmark principles for peace developed in U.S. hosted Israeli-Syrian negotiations in 1996 and 2002, Turkey mediated indirect talks between Syria and Israel in 2008. The hopeful Turkish reports were confirmed in visits to Damascus in 2009 by Special Envoy George Mitchell and Senator John Kerry, then Chairman of the Senate Committee on International Relations. If the U.S. had made a determined effort to mediate and had succeeded, resolving the Syrian-Israeli conflict certainly would have caused a relaxation in the Syrian regime and society that might have led to a more rational, less repressive response to popular pressures for reform.
U.S. choices related to what to do now about Syria are stark. Sadly, most public debate is still focused on how or how much the Obama administration should step up aid to the rebels. There's been almost no attention to the possibility of a new comprehensive diplomatic initiative to end the war. To have a realistic chance of success, such an international intervention would have to involve Russia -- and Iran and China -- as well as countries supporting the rebels. Twin goals of the intervention would be to halt the violence and achieve agreement on a political transition involving the rebels and elements of the current regime that would provide assurances for all of Syria's diverse internal communities and for interests of the major outside parties. The current U.S. diplomatic initiative with Russia is worthy of public support, and should be pursued with creativity and determination.

Mesler and Olsen Each Tally Three as Men's Lacrosse Rallies for 10-8 Win over Florida Southern
April 3, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Pfeiffer University tallied seven of the last eight goals in a come-from-behind 10-8 victory over Florida Southern in mens lacrosse action Saturday afternoon at N.E. Lefko Field. Dan Mesler (Branchport, NY) and Chad Olsen (Great Mills, MD) each scored three as the Falcons even up to 6-6 on the season while the Moccasins fall to 2-8.
The Mocs came out of the gate scoring the first four goals of the match as Corey Brown (Clayton, NY) assisted on Jackson Van Yahres (Charlotte, NC) and Jon Fredas (Merrick, NY) strikes in an early 2-0 lead. Cam Holding (Lansing, MI) put home the third tally as the Mocs led 3-0 after one.
Brown registered his own goal from a Holding assist two-and-a-half minutes into the second before Pfeiffer bounced back with three-straight creating a 4-3 contest. Olsen and Mesler each hit on man-up opportunities while Justin Rose (Rochester, NY) slammed home a goal from Kory Lutes (Orlando, FL) just past the halfway point of the second. Freda hit again with 1:51 to go in the half giving Florida Southern a 5-3 lead at the break, never trailing in the half.
The Mocs kept the pressure on with the first two goals of the third as Brown and Seabrooke Carter (Annapolis, MD) each tallied unassisted for a 7-3 advantage. The Falcon comeback began with Derrick Ensors (Finksburg, MD) unassisted goal at 4:14 before Olsen and John Metz (OFallon, MO) hooked up at the 2:15 mark. With just under a minute to play in the third, Ensor found Metz for another Pfeiffer goal and a 7-6 deficit through three.
Mesler took matters into his own hands starting the fourth with a pair of goals at 14:19 and 9:43, both unassisted, for the Falcons first lead of the afternoon 8-7. Brown scored his final of three on the day at 7:41 to knot the contest back up at 8-8 before Rose and Olsen hit again in the final 6:18 for the two-goal win.
Robert Adams (Concord, NC) had a team-high five groundballs for Pfeiffer while Anthony LaMarca (Long Island, NY) caused a pair of Florida Southern turnovers. For the visitors, Brown also chipped in with three assists to go along with his hat trick. Chase Juelich (Cooper City, FL) had a match-high six groundballs and four caused turnovers.
Pfeiffer gets back to action on Tuesday in Conference Carolinas play against Lees-McRae. As of Saturday, the game is still scheduled for 7:00 p.m. in Banner Elk, but could be moved to Pfeiffer due to unplayable field conditions in the mountains. Fans should check GoFalconSports.com for the latest over the weekend.

Comments about Weinmann 700C Replacement Wheel:
I bought this wheel to mount a trainer tire on so I can have a dedicated trainer wheel. Swaping tires constantly is a real pain. Anyway for the price it was a better wheel than I was expecting. Its a bit heavy and there is nothing fancy about it but if you just want a cheap functional wheel then this seams to be a good one.
Best Uses
Comments about Weinmann 700C Replacement Wheel:
A very nice rear wheel. I am completely satisfied. 32 straight 14 G spokes, with nice Shimano FH-2200 rear hub. It says hand-built in USA, and it looks like it. Weinmann rims have always been known for their sturdiness, and this Weinmann LP-18 rim seem very sturdy. It is double walled aluminum alloy rim with very nice braking surfaces (dull silver finish.) Drilled for presta valve. Rim says for 18C to 23C tires, but I plan to run 25C on mine. I have not ridden it yet, but have no qualms. Plans are to use it on my 2001 Schwinn Fastback frame as a replacment. You should note that the Weinmann LP-18 rim does not have spoke eyelets, but still the wheel build quality seems very sturdy and this wheel should last a long time.

Hanging on a wall inside the gym at Southwest High School is a picture of the Stallions' 2012 football team, commemorating a squad that won its fourth state championship in program history.
That picture is a lasting image of a team that had only one goal, which was to bring a title back to The Corral.
Leading that victorious team was Shak Pershey, a special player, but more importantly a special person within the Southwest community.
And like last season's Stallions, Pershey will never be forgotten.
His memory will last a lifetime at Southwest following his drowning death Thursday night at North Topsail Beach. Pershey was 19.
He was a great football player and a big reason why Southwest won the championship last December. Pershey played quarterback and safety for coach Phil Padgett's Stallions. His talents impressed his coaches, teammates, fans and those on opposing teams.
That was especially true after Pershey rushed for 140 yards and two touchdowns in Southwest's 44-34 win over Swain County in the NCHSAA 1-AA championship game in Raleigh.
"The head coach of Swain County, Neil Blankenship, called me this morning after he found out and he said 'Coach, y'all wouldn't have won that ball game without him,'" Padgett said. "That's how much respect he had for him. He carried us and … he was not going to be denied."
Pershey ended his senior season as The Jacksonville Daily News Player of the Year after he threw for 1,149 yards and 13 touchdowns and rushed for 929 yards and 18 more scores. Pershey also had five interceptions and had two punt returns and a kickoff return for touchdowns.
But the Southwest community is not hurting right now because of the loss of just a football player. The tight-knit group hurts because it lost a person it loved so much and someone who loved his community back.
"I just remembered Shak had a great smile and had a great attitude," Principal Tim Foster said. "He was a kid everybody loved and adored and he gave it right back to everybody else. I think Shak was a guy who just got along with everybody. The kids gravitated toward him."
Under the Friday night lights, Pershey meant business. He felt it was an honor playing football for Southwest and he took winning seriously. He loved being a Stallion.
Off the field, Pershey was personable. His smile could light up a dark sky.
"He was a great football player, but that was not the best part of him. He was a great kid," Padgett said. "He was one of those kids you always wanted to be around. He was probably one of the most popular kids at school.
"He wasn't a clown, but he did joke around. He had that sense of humor that's hard to describe. It was a little sarcasm."
Pershey was scheduled to graduate with his class on June 11. He had been accepted to Chowan University and was going to play college football.
He was going to continue to make Southwest and his family proud.
And family was important to Pershey.
Over the last two years, Pershey spent time in Oceanside, Calif., to be with his family. His Marine father was stationed in California.
Pershey left Southwest for California late in his junior season with the Stallions in 2011. He returned home in January of 2012, happy to be reunited with his friends, coaches and teammates.
He was back with his brothers. They all then had the same goal of winning a state title.
"I was thrilled when he came back because he was a great kid who had been in our program and he wanted to finish his career at Southwest High School," Padgett said. "He came back with a goal to win a state championship. What a great legacy he leaves on the football field and at the school. I will never forget him, and I know our staff won't."
Padgett said the school plans on honoring Pershey in different ways, including making sure no one ever again wears his No. 12 football jersey.
It's a fitting gesture.
"It was worn by a winner of a state championship," Padgett said. "He deserves a lot more."
Pershey, though, will always be a Southwest Stallion.
"All of the kids, they walk around and say 'Once you're a Stallion, you're always a Stallion,'" Foster said. "Shak was very much involved in the school. He was one of the most spirited guys. He loved Southwest. He loved Southwest."

I don't know what to say except it is...Strong! I finally realized the babes must be wearing the female version of this because I smell this A*men scent everywhere!
I honestly feel as though it could be a little nauseating but that's just me...However, the ladies might feel differently after smelling this on me, who knows. If I give this cologne a try and give it some time, I might grow to love it. What are your thoughts guys?
I think it's great and one of it's kind but there are much better scents.
I personally enjoy it, but it is on the strong side. A very polarizing scent IMO.
I kept sniffing my wrist while I am sitting here studying for finals tomorrow and I swear I almost getting a headache, it just might be a little too sweet. Wonder how the females feel about A*men, ladies get in here!
I'm not a fan but there are many on here that are. It's way too strong for me, and it's almost suffocatingly heavy.
Yeah, a LOT of women wear this and I'm soooo tired of smelling it on them. It's got a heavy dose of patchouli that gets really irritating, in my opinion.
However, a co-worker was wearing Alien the other day and she smelled great.
Here's some advice for you though: If you like A*Men but are a little on the fence about it (you said you might grow to love it), try the flankers--Pure Malt, Pure Havane, and A Taste of Fragrance are all great--and a little easier to wear than the original. They're softer around the edges and don't feature the intense Tar note that A*Men does.
A*Men is one of my favorites. That said, I get WAAAAAAAY more compliments from females from AdG Essenza, La Nuit and Le Male, if that is what is important to you.
EDIT: as for the flankers, I can't wear Pure Malt to work (nor do I wear A*Men for that matter). I wore Pure Malt one Friday and a co-worker told me I smelled like I was up all night boozing. LOL!
Ive had a ton of woman tell me they like the smell of A men and puer Havane
As for the last two repliers...Not sure if troll or serious -_- LOL
I've been doing some reading and I'll give Pure Malt a blind buy as my next cologne, hands down.

a men is a powerhouse. spray only a little and youll be fine
lol I meant to say, some reviewers say the exact opposite against A*men, that is why I was not sure if you guys were serious or joking in your replies. A lot of people, however, are in favour of Pure Malt - I guess it's a love/hate thing with A*men.
btw, Chanel Allure Homme Sport kinda stirs my curiousity though...=D
I stand by what I said in my post. Exactly what I said has been my experience to date with all of the scents mentioned.
Good lord indeed.
A*Men is one of my favorites....however I am a gourmand lover.
With that said, I will say women that have smelled it on me love it. That chocolate, caramel, vanilla drydown is amazing.
It is great, a classic
so guys, when comparing Chanel Allure Homme Sport with all of the A*men series, which would you recommend?
Allure Homme Sport VS. A*men, Pure Malt, Pure Havanne, etc...
The first time I smelled it on a card from a Sales lady, I didn't dislike it, but didn't know what to make out of it, I've never smelled a Fragrance like that.
I put the card on my car and kept smelling it every time I got into the car for the next two weeks or so. i liked it, the name and the bottle, the color of the juice, the novelty, the sweetness and heavenly masculine smell, ah yes the patchouli was awesome too.
I got a small metal bottle that came with five small samples, and I've been loving it ever since.
The End.
- - - Updated - - -
Honestly my man, I don't see any comparison among those.
Form is emptiness, emptiness is form.
A*Men is definitely heavy & polarizing. However, if lightly applied, it's really not that heavy. I have to admit, when I first tried it, I absolutely could not stand the stuff. Months & months later, I tested it again and still didn't care for it. Yet months later again & I actually found myself enjoying it quite a bit. For some reason, it all started to come together for me and the tar note didn't seem as overpowering. It still wasn't my favorite part of the fragrance, but I enjoyed the mint/chocolate combo and loved the late drydown. Then, not long after, I finally got my nose on Pure Malt & loved it even more. Both great IMO.
Interestingly, I used to wear A Men when I was in highschool and I went through an entire 3.4oz bottle of it. I did not rebuy then because I was getting sick of the then perceived cotton candy scent which gave me a headache. Recently I came across a tester and resprayed and really did enjoy it now that I have a little better understanding of scent composition. I bought another 3.4oz bottle of it and I do really enjoy it, but I am not gravitating towards it as I had thought. I find it a bit cloying at times and if I want sweet gourmand I often go more for Lolita Lempicka au Masculin. It will always have a place in my collection though.
A*Men is IMO faaar too sweet for daytime or warm weather. Very modestly applied (as in - mist and walk through-modest), on cold evenings, it's pretty good. Knowing how to use it is key, though.
To my knowledge, I have not smelled A*Men. Is it not produced by Thierry Mugler? If it smells anything like Angel then forget it. I find Angel to be practically nauseating. In general, I'm not a gourmand fan. As you can probably tell, I am quite ignorant about men's fragrances.
Love hate for all
It's very good. Angel is even better.
When I sniffed Angel, I was just completely shocked. I had a "WTF this is a... perfume??" moment.
But for some reason, when I first smelled A*Men, I was just blown away. Also had a "never smelled anything like this before" vibe, but in a completely positive way. I just fell in love with it right away.
Now that I think about it, that seems really weird. I better revisit Angel.
Also, that star bottle is so much better than the rubber flask too.
If you want strong... try wearing Angel. Smells better and it blew away the competition in my tests.
86 inches of projection!!!

Walked into the store planning to buy A*Men, walked out with Pure Havane. IMHO it's much easier to wear. Works for pretty much all four seasons, and is even workable for days whereas the original only seems right to me for fall/winter nights. I second everyone saying it's probably more up your alley. Who knows, it might indoctrinate you to a point where you feel comfortable with A*Men
Imo the tar note.is the best feature of this scent. On me it does not seem.to project.that much. It is going.strong.during the first hour or.so,.then becoming.a.skin.scent. Or maybe.it.is.olfactory fatigue from.the.initial.blast,.don't know...
I had pretty much similar sensations about this scents, as the ones described in the opening post of this thread. Be it its nearly atomic, huge projection or its rather overdone sweetness, I somehow never managed to like it. Granted, some notes taken apart may be interesting or even enjoyable to me, but I don't know whether their association/accord/combination and/or their outcome in terms of strength and excessively gourmand (at least, to my nose) make this scent rather unappealing to me.
The problem is that you are sticking your nose right into it and sniffing over and over. Of course its going to give you a headache. AMen has probably sold tens of millions of bottles since it cam out and most of the people that buy it just spray it on and go about their day. If you just smell the sillage like other people around you then it is not very strong and a very enjoyable frag. That is why it is a best seller and girls seem to love it on guys.
Want to trade - Chanel Platinum Egoiste for Dior Eau Sauvage...
One of the most obnoxious fragrance I have smell. Literally gives me a headache.
I have bought it three times, the metal flask is beautiful. Yes it's very very strong one or two sprays are more than enough. I won't b buying it again because every single gay man wears this or le male and I find that so boring. There are so many other options out there. And to be honest the people that buy amen are not very tasteful. They wear too much of it to draw attention. I find it tacky to be honest even though it smells like hot chocolate on me after 2-3 hours. Some man was wearing it at ikea the other day and it smelled awful on him. The whole floor reeked of it.
I think what most of you might be smelling is chocolate by axe.
I doubt Amen is that commonly worn.
It is strong, polarizing and not for everyone. I really like it though And in Denmark it is not widely available, so I have only smelled it on another person once
PS: If you like A*Men, try Angel I own and like both. Different enough to own, love and wear both.
i love angel and all the flankers besides pure shot. definate head turners and lasts all day!!
When sampling A*Men, remember to give it a good 2 hours to dry down and then it's highly acceptable. I will not leave my house until it's been on my skin for at least an hour.
1) Chergui (Serge Lutens)
2) Dior Homme Intense
3) Aventus (Creed)
4) Allure Homme Sport (Chanel)
5) La Nuit De l'Homme (YSL)
I have never bought an axe product. Amen is very commonly worn here actually.
- - - Updated - - -
To be honest I like the female version better even though they are both similar in the dry down. I like amen for sure it lasts for hours. I just don't like the way it's worn by some people.

In thinking about darwinian evolution I have come to a question (subtlely linked to altruism) which I can't quite judge. So I thought I'd put it out there for appraisal. It may well be a question adressed already by the likes of Richard Dawkins that I haven't come across. I have phrased it as a metaphorical representation of some environment that a species finds itself in. The scenario is as follows:
Two males find themselves facing a mezzanine level. The females of the species are up on the mezzanine. A ladder to the mezzanine protrudes only one metre above ground level and is too short to gain access to the upper floor. All males of the species are programmed in an "if/then" way such that:
1. IF you find yourself facing a short ladder THEN you wait.
2. IF you find yourself facing a deep pit of spikes THEN you jump in.
The spikes in the pit rest on a button which activates a hydraulic system which in turn extends the ladder to the mezzanine. One male in the pit results in one male on the mezzanine. If the programming of the males was such, then the suicidal tendency would have the result that the same programme reproduces.
This would mean that altruism need not be explained in the context of an individuals genes but simply in the species genes. It also is not intended to cover simply the destruction of one individual to the benefit of the other but more generally as anything that an individual can sacrifice that leads to the benefit of any other of the species. Forgive me if I am covering old hat!!
Is anyone aware if such a questioin is adressed by anyone and if so which books/videos should I look for?

Published June 2009
A few studies of probation supervision of abusers have been conducted. A quasi-experimental study across the state of Rhode
Island found that those abusers who were supervised in a specialized domestic violence probation program — featuring victim
contact, slightly more intensive supervision of abusers (twice a month), intensive monitoring of mandated batterer intervention
programs, and probation officers who volunteered to supervise these caseloads — were significantly less likely to commit new
offenses and abuse within one year, but this applied only to those probationers who had not been on probation previously.
[137, 141]
Although specialized domestic violence courts often involve specialized probation supervision programs, probation's contribution
to these courts' successes (and failures) has not been studied separately. The cumulative effect of probation monitoring and
counseling completion has been found to significantly lower recidivism. [163] Another researcher has found that enhanced domestic-violence supervision programs have reduced re-offending compared to non-enhanced
supervision. [108]
Specialized supervision of abusers may help reduce reabuse. (Research basis: Tentative findings based on only limited studies.)
