Clinical/Scientific Implications
Dr. Petrylak discussed many of the pivotal trials for hormone refractory prostate cancer, and his presentation was excellent. There has been a shift in the standard of care for metastatic, hormone- refractory prostate cancer from mitoxantrone to docetaxel, and docetaxel is well tolerated. Like most areas of oncology, metastatic prostate cancer is seeing its share of targeted therapy trials, and many of them are developing significant interest amongst physicians. As further data accrues on targeted therapies given in the metastatic setting, we may see movement towards adding these compounds earlier in the game – perhaps as adjuvant therapy for high risk disease. The side effect profiles of the newer agents will likely dictate this move. This is an exciting area of oncology, and one where many new strides will hopefully continue to improve outcomes.
Oct 4, 2010 - Men with advanced prostate cancer that has resisted prior chemotherapy with docetaxel survive a median 2.4 months longer if they take cabazitaxel instead of mitoxantrone, according to the results of a phase III trial published in the Oct. 2, cancer-themed

Written by Ben Morgan on 02/16/2010
Apparently NFL owners fear 2010 being an uncapped year. Seriously? All of them? OK maybe I can see it, most of the owners fear it because of the money they'll have to fork out to overpaid free agents. Dan Snyder will probably fear it because he now has competition for those overpriced free agents. I don't know who the Washington Redskins capologist is but they deserve a medal for somehow managing to keep the 'Skins under the cap each year. In spite of spending on free agents that reaches levels that have me reaching for a thesaurus to come up with new superlatives, somehow they escape going over the cap. I can only assume the guy's previous job was as a senior accountant to ENRON. Not that going over would have troubled Snyder, what's the penalty? You surrender draft picks. Snyder doesn't seem to like draft picks anyway. Maybe that's another reason he fears an uncapped NFL. All those expensive free agents aren't likely to be available until they're 30 which means Danny has to do more work and actually research College football. If you want to see what I mean on draft picks take a look at the draft history on our Washington Redskins team page. In 2006, no 1st, 3rd or 4th round draft picks. In 2007 no 2nd, 3rd or 4th rounders. In 2008 no 1st or 5th round picks (though they did swing 3 second rounders that year) and last year no 2nd or 4th round picks. This year is shaping up to be similar. Their 3rd round pick was used in the Supplemental draft last year to pick Jeremy Jarmon, a DE out of Kentucky. Their 6th round pick went to the Dolphins in exchange for Jason Taylor. Who, if memory serves me correctly, actually played for the Fins last year. Nice. More than most teams the Skins need to make their drat picks really count as they often have so few in the top half of the draft. Have they succeeded in doing that? Well they are picking 4th overall so you'd have to say, hmmmm not so good. But let's look at the details and breakdown Washington's roster for a closer look at how close the Skins are to winning another Superbowl. Cos it's been a while now. NOTE: At present it looks like the Redskins will be adopting a zone blocking scheme on the OL and may be at least partially switching to a 3-4 front under Jim Haslett. This could make a huge impact on who stays, who goes and more importantly for us, who they might draft and where.
On the kicking side they're bringing Graham Gano (who nailed 4 out 4 FGs at the end of the year) and Justin Medlock, a promising kicker who spent the 2009 season kicking almost everything for the Toronto Argonauts. It might not inspire the greatest confidence but it's highly likely one of these two will be the opening day kicker for the Redskins. It's highly unlikely they'll be looking for another Kicker before Week 2! Hunter the Punter (aka Hunter Smith) is the incumbent Punter but he's a free agent this year having had just one injury interrupted season with the Skins. These things mean there's a possible need for a Punter in the draft. You can get Punters most places but I'm a big fan of burning a draft pick on a really good young one. It's tough to find starters in the 6th and 7th rounds, meaning a specialist is a good value pick if there's some talent there. Smith did ok last year when he played, high percentage inside the 20, forced a lot of Fair catches... not an outstanding average but without looking at the play by play or the videos the number of fair catches and inside the 20 punts suggests he was kicking to a short field fairly often. That makes your punt average look pretty lousy.

Christopher Martin said he knew he'd done nothing to warrant being arrested as he walked away from a Gastonia police officer in the local Belk department store one day last summer.
The Kings Mountain 22-year-old recalls being scared to the point that he was shaking as he attempted to leave the business, only to feel the electric jolt of two Taser prongs being fired into his back.
Click HERE for video of officer using Taser on Martin
Click HERE for more video of incident
"It felt like lightning just struck me," he said Thursday.
The shock dropped Martin onto his face, causing a cut to the head that required stitches. He was charged with resisting a public officer and damage to personal property/vandalism, reportedly for getting blood on Officer Arthur B. Johns' boots.
Those charges were later dropped. And Johns — who had already been suspended twice since being hired in 2007 — was suspended a third time and then fired for his actions that day, which included firing the Taser.
The city wrote in his termination letter that he "failed to follow proper protocol and procedures and actually escalated the situation to a level it should not have reached in the first place."
Martin, who is black, believes the treatment he was subjected to was racially motivated. He filed a lawsuit this month against Johns and two Belk loss prevention officers — Amanda Crosby and Jamie Carpenter — who were also involved in the events that day. The three defendants are white.
The Matthews Belk Co. and the city of Gastonia are also named in the lawsuit. It alleges all of the defendants are jointly responsible for multiple offenses, including assault and battery, false imprisonment/arrest, defamation and slander, abuse of process and malicious prosecution, conspiracy, and negligent hiring and training.
Belk denies responsibility in the case.
"We believe the claims against Belk are without merit," Belk spokeswoman Jessica Graham said Thursday. "It is our policy not to comment further on pending litigation."
Gastonia City Attorney Ash Smith said the city hasn't had time to formulate a response since the lawsuit was filed July 10. He said the allegation in Martin's complaint that his civil rights were violated may result in the case being moved to federal court, though that is still uncertain.
"The city's management team and legal counsel are reviewing the claim and allegations and will respond in due course," he said. "Given that we just learned (Martin) was pursuing a claim, it's too early to comment."
Shoplifting accusation
Martin is a 2008 graduate of Kings Mountain High School. He lives with his mother, Sharon Wingo of Kings Mountain, who said he has never been in trouble.
He had no criminal record prior to the incident that led to the lawsuit.
On June 28, 2012, Martin had the day off from work and went to Westfield Eastridge mall with his 15-year-old cousin, Bobby Cole, and two other friends. All four of them were initially in Belk, looking at clothes as Cole tried on hats.
Security camera footage shows a camera tracking the foursome's movements and primarily focusing on Cole. The lawsuit alleges it is evidence of racial profiling.
While Cole stayed in Belk, Martin said he and two others walked through the rest of the mall. They returned a short while later to the men's department to find Cole being detained by Crosby and Carpenter, the loss prevention officers, Martin said.
Carpenter told Martin that Cole had a hat in his pocket that he was trying to steal. Martin told Carpenter the two were cousins. When Carpenter took Cole to the loss prevention office and told Martin to come along, Martin said he followed because he didn't think he had a choice.
Physical violence
After Officer Arthur Johns arrived, Carpenter told him Martin had been involved in the theft, according to the lawsuit.
Security footage shows Johns escorting Martin into a separate hallway and talking with him, although there is no audio on the recording.
Martin said Johns asked him three separate times for his name, without asking to see photo identification. Martin said he answered each time. Then without warning, Johns told him to turn around and put his hands behind his back, Martin said.
"That's when he got aggressive with me," Martin said.
Security footage shows a scuffle ensuing, with Johns and Carpenter both attempting to take Martin down before Martin begins to walk away.
In an arrest warrant and affidavit that day, Johns wrote that Martin "became agitated and created a fist with his right hand in an aggressive manner."
In much of the security video, Martin's hands are unclenched at his sides or behind his back.
A few seconds later, Johns is seen firing his Taser, as Martin collapses into the corner of a doorway and strikes his head, causing a pool of blood to appear on the tile floor.
"During the struggle with (Martin), my duty boots were damaged, value $109," Johns wrote.
Charges dismissed
Martin received stitches at the local hospital before being taken to the Gaston County Jail. He was released on an unsecured bond and later told by an assistant district attorney that if he paid to replace the officer's boots, the charges would be dismissed.
A few days later, Martin lost his job at a local distribution center. He said his employer and co-workers became aware of his arrest, and he believes that's why he was fired.
"People were staring at me," he said.
Martin and his mother got a money order for $109 and took it to the Gastonia Police Department. But when Martin appeared for his court date on Sept. 12, he was told he could leave because the state had granted a voluntary dismissal.
Assistant District Attorney Eddie Meeks helped to ensure Martin got his $109 check back from the police department. But Wingo, who has another son training to become a police officer, said she knew her son had been mistreated from the moment she heard the description of the events.
"I knew it was all wrong," she said.
Record of trouble
Johns was hired by Gastonia Police in February 2007. He was suspended three days from March 1-4, 2008, then suspended 15 more days without pay until March 19.
The city never released the reasons for those suspensions. But in January 2008, 20-year-old Brittany Gilmore, who is black, filed a complaint against Johns for abuse of force.
She said she was watching — but not involved in — a fight outside the Waffle House on Bessemer City Road one night when Johns arrived. She said he slammed her face into the parking lot after she refused to sit down on wet pavement. Gilmore was charged with resisting an officer and underage drinking.
Johns received another 15-day suspension without pay on Nov. 13, 2012. He appealed the city's decision, but was fired Dec. 7 based on his prior disciplinary record.
Racially motivated?
Martin said he hasn't been back to Belk or the local mall since the incident more than a year ago. He said he's afraid of what he might encounter.
While he fights to get the charge expunged from his record, he said he has also struggled to find a new job. His Gastonia attorneys, Bill Moore and Arcangela Mazzariello, believe that's because many would-be employers see even a dismissed charge when doing a criminal background check and believe where there's smoke, there's fire.
Wingo said she's advised her son that as a black man, he needs to be more aware of the situations he's in and the people he's around. She's told him to always be respectful around police and to avoid doing anything that might provoke a negative response. But she believes even that didn't keep him out of trouble in this case.
"It's upsetting to know they can't just freely go out to places without things like this happening to them," she said, referring to young black men.
Mazzariello thinks it's clear what led to Martin being detained and shot with a taser.
"If he were blond-haired and blue-eyed, I don't think this would have happened," she said.

Robust institutions and effective governance are increasingly recognized by policymakers as not only important end goals but also key inputs towards inclusive and sustainable development. Governance refers to the manner in which power and authority is used to manage the collective affairs of a community, society, nation, or country. Institutions are the systems of formal and informal rules that constitute the environment within which policies, cooperation, and innovation occur. Both concepts are jointly relevant for promoting civic participation in political affairs, mutual accountability between leaders and citizens, transparent and efficient public administrations, and responsible stewardship of natural resources.

Strengthening Institutions and Governance
Research brochure
Consequently, Strengthening Institutions and Governance (SIG) is one of the six main research areas identified in IFPRI's 2013-2018 Strategy and is being spearheaded by a cross-divisional task force. SIG research analyzes the constellation of institutional and governance arrangements, as well as the policy processes that they generate, which promote food security, poverty reduction, and equitable and sustainable rural development. In doing so, SIG research relies on interdisciplinary and multi-level perspectives, mixed methods, and learning across disparate country contexts. Priority attention is given to policy-relevant issues, ranging from the household to the global level, that revolve around the following four main themes:
- Strengthened assets and property rights
- Inclusive and effective collective action
- Pro-poor public investments and policies
- High-quality public service delivery through institutional innovations
To communicate results, strengthen analytical capacity, and foster greater awareness of diverse research on institutions and governance that exists in the broader academic and policy communities, SIG also hosts a monthly seminar series.

Customer Raves & Reviews
I Love It!
My fiance and I recently ordered the Something Blue magnets and changed the colors to blush, creme, and gold- our wedding colors. They came out perfect! I loved how the magnets were completely customizable. Customer Service was very helpful and the proofs were available so quickly. I would recommend this product and company to every person I know!
I'm usually skeptical about ordering online but, I was throughly impressed with my Something Blue Save The Date magnets! Everyone complimented me on them as they proudly display them on their fridges! The process was simple and I loved the fact that I could implement my wedding colors, right down to CMYB color code! They were shipped on schedule and I was able to track my order through the entire process!! I shopped around and price compared but no other could beat the price and quality. They even send a nice box I can use to store my stationary!!! I can't wait to order my invitations and programs!!!
Elegant, lovely program
I ordered 200 of these Something Blue programs for my upcoming wedding in Charcoal Damask and Classic Blue for the stripe. I received them in pristine condition and they are printed on somewhat glossy, thicker, high quality card stock. The printing was clear and crisp, from the few I've flipped through so far. Make sure you make a note of the color of your names in the upper right-hand corner bubble; I didn't realize that was customizable, and our names came in a subtle cranberry color (which I wouldn't have chosen necessarily, but it still looks nice). Also, I had envisioned the programs would be a little larger, but they are perfect keepsake size. Even with these tiny notes, I am thrilled with them and would highly recommend.
Perfect Placecard for Matching Programs
I ordered these folded place cards to go with the Something Blue rectangular programs...and I love them! I went with Charcoal gray damask and Classic Blue stripe (the blue was more vibrant than I anticipated!). The editor tool was very easy to use in order to customize my message on the back of the card. Like the programs, the paper is thick, glossy, high-quality card stock...and with an available coupon I was able to get 200 at a really great price. :) Not only that, but I received them quickly and all were is pristine condition upon arrival. I would HIGHLY recommend!
Great product!
The Something Blue design turned out just as I was expecting! I would recommend getting the taller version as more of your picture is shown. MagnetStreet did an awesome job, and I would highly recommend them to any other bride. Even the packaging they sent our save the dates in was really cute!

Surrounded by five of his teammates on National Signing Day, Ashbrook receiver Demetrius Oliver stopped to think for a moment about how far he and his longtime friends had come during their football careers.
"This is the time we've all been waiting for, and it felt great to finally experience it," Oliver said.
The senior became one of the hundreds of athletes across the nation to make their college commitments official on Wednesday.
Oliver joined South Point running back Devan Robbins as the area's athletes who accepted scholarships with Division I programs. Oliver is headed to Elon while Robbins inked with The Citadel. Both schools are members of the Southern Conference of the NCAA's Football Championship Subdivision.
Ashbrook was the busiest local high school as six football players signed. Defensive back Anthony Hambright plans to join Oliver at Elon as a preferred walk-on. Wide receiver Grant Stafford signed with Wingate while three others joined Limestone's first recruiting class: linebacker/defensive lineman Chance Barnett, wide receiver Brian Jackson and wide receiver E.J. Vanderpuye.
"Family thing" for Oliver
Oliver thought it was neat to see all four of Ashbrook's starting receivers take part in National Signing Day. Vanderpuye (756 yards, 8 TDs), Oliver (645 yards, 5 TDs), Stafford (625 yards, 4 TDs) and Jackson (394 yards, 3 TDs) led a spread offense that topped the Big South 3A Conference with 258.5 passing yards per game. Quarterback Tre Brice led the conference with 2,501 passing yards.
The 6-foot-1, 200-pound Oliver said his other college options were North Carolina A&T, Western Carolina, Limestone, Carson-Newman and others. A campus visit to Elon sold him.
"I loved the environment," Oliver said. "From what I saw of my team, it's guys I can see myself coming close with and kind of forming a family thing. It felt right. It felt like home."
"Depression mode" ends for Robbins
Robbins started to get worried a few weeks ago because he had no offers on the table. It wasn't until Jan. 25 that The Citadel first contacted him, and the scholarship offer wasn't in hand until this past Sunday.
"It was a blessing to me because three weeks ago I didn't know where I was going," Robbins said. "I was kind of in depression mode and The Citadel was a great blessing for me."
Robbins had previously drawn interest from Georgia Tech, Duke, North Carolina A&T, N.C. Central, Campbell, Tusculum and others but had received no other offers yet.
Robbins, a fan and coaches' favorite in Belmont for not only his athleticism but also his respectful demeanor, feels like he has a chance to contribute soon at the military college in Charleston, S.C. The Bulldogs mostly run the triple option offense, the system Robbins has thrived in since the age of 10 in peewee football.
"They have no running backs, so I think that I could be a great filler for that," Robbins said. "I'm very prepared for it because the run the same offense that South Point does."
The 6-foot, 180-pound Robbins rushed for 598 yards and 13 touchdowns out of the wingback position this past season and caught nine passes covering 333 yards. Six of those receptions went for touchdowns as Robbins played a key role for a team that finished 12-1 and reached the third round of the state playoffs.
"With his 4.3 speed, they think he can step in there right away," South Point coach Mickey Lineberger said. "To run that offense you have to be unselfish because you never know how many touches you'll have, but Devan is very unselfish."
Robbins will join former Clover quarterback Aaron Miller, who just completed his sophomore season at The Citadel.
It was a big day for lineman locally as Cherryville's Daniel Owens and Forestview's Josh Mills each signed with Wingate while Highland Tech's James Taylor signed with Limestone as part of the Gaffney, S.C., school's first recruiting class.
At least four area soccer players also signed national letters of intent Wednesday. Gaston Christian had a pair of signees in Karis Hoover (North Greenville) and Kathryn Smith (Barton).
East Gaston's Caroline Bowman is headed to South Carolina-Beaufort. Ashbrook's Nick Fuller signed with Belmont Abbey while his Green Wave teammate Ronnie Hernandez enrolled early at Limestone.

(NewsUSA) - Parents know to take their children to the pediatrician for physical checkups, but mental health is as important as physical well-being.
A child's teenage years can seem stressful. Teenagers enter high school, where they must make new friends. Increased academic and athletic competition can make teens feel inadequate or overwhelmed.
Parents can help their teenagers navigate these difficult years. First, parents should ask their pediatrician to evaluate their teenager's mental well being. Pediatricians develop close relationships with their patients, so teenagers might feel more comfortable discussing sensitive subjects, like depression, stress and sex, with their doctors instead of their parents.
Teenagers need a trusted adult to speak with, whether that adult be parent, pediatrician, teacher or counselor. Make sure that your teenager knows that stress, sadness and anger are normal, and that talking about her feelings can really help her cope. Remind her of the people who can help her, and tell her that reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness.
Second, parents should make sure that they're not putting too much pressure on their teenager. Too-high expectations can often become damaging, but parents should still make sure that their teenagers have strong support systems at home.
"Kids tend to live up, or down, to the expectations of their parents," says Dr. Renee Jenkins of the American Academy of Pediatrics. "Teens who understand what standards are expected of them stand a better chance of setting realistic goals for the future."
Third, parents should help their teenagers feel empowered to change circumstances for the better. If your teenager says that she feels stressed, help her to identify the source of her stress. Ask your teen to brainstorm about possible solutions to her situation. Discuss the pros and cons of her suggested approaches, making sure to consider future ramifications. Decide on the best course of action.
Parents can help teens learn from their mistakes, gain better judgment and develop stronger senses of identity -- the tools that will help them through the rest of their lives.

"This contract with Joel Anthony is a testament to the man who is second to none; who has worked hard and deserved this," said Heat President Pat Riley. "We felt that what he has done over the last couple of years in developing his game, his body and his knowledge warrants this reward. If other NBA non-drafted free agents want a prototype to follow, Joel Anthony is that man."

Where am I going?
You're about to go on a 6 month trip and are limited to carrying ONLY ONE fragrance from your entire collection. What fragrance would you choose if you were limited to just one?
Where am I going?
I'd take the top off an empty 8.4 ounce Creed bottle and fill it with 5ml decants :P
Decants aside though. Depends where I'm going. If I was headed somewhere beachy and tropical I'd take Montale's Sandflowers if it were the dry season and Embruns d'Assouria for the wet. If it were beachy but not tropical I'd consider CSP's Aqua Motu or Annick Goutal's Sables with Sables for a cooler clime and Aqua Motu for a hotter one.
If I was going to a big city like New York or London I'd take something flexible but seriously high-end like Opulent Shaik no.77
If I was going Skiing I'd take a big gourmand like New Harlem or Chocolate Greedy.
If I was going on holiday purely to chill and recharge I'd take a comfort fragrance, something I can wear when I haven't shaved in a week without feeling unbalanced. Probably vintage Givenchy Gentleman.
Lastly if it was more of a wilderness-type holiday, adventure stuff or camping, fishing, anything like that I'd take something like Worth Pour Homme, or some other really old-fashioned 'fresh' powerhouse fougere.
I would prob take MI by Creed since I find it to be the least offensive and works in pretty much any scenario.
With very little details of the trip I'd take Aventus.
Gengis Khan
gIORGIO BEVERLY HILLS red for men
Either Terre d'Hermes Parfum or Green Irish Tweed. Depends on where I'm heading.
GIT for its versatility.
Sous le Vent (Guerlain)
1. Dior Homme Intense
2. Creed Aventus
3. Tom Ford Extreme
4. Gucci Pour Homme II
5. Terre d'Hermes
Exactly what I would do.
Either Bleu de Chanel or Allure Homme
just can't live on one fragrance for the whole 6 months, can't survive that long with just one frag
i'll take Chanel Sycomore with me and will be purchasing a few more bottles once landed.
AUSSIES, join our exclusive niche split club.
Currently splitting:
Amouage - Tribute, Homage and OPUS VII
Andy Tauer - Noontide Petals, Miriam and Loretta
HdP - Veni, Vidi, Vici and Rosam, Ambrarem, Petroleum
The Different Company - Oud Shamash, Oud for Love and Aurore Nomade
Guerlain - Sous Le Vent, Angélique Noire, Bois d'Armenie, Cruel Gardenia, Rose Barbare
and many more niches up for split...
The fragrance of green bills, so I can go shopping for more fragrances.

Habit Rouge EDP
Tam Dao
Rive Gauche Pour Homme
My current top 10 (subject to change) in no particular order:
Rive Gauche Pour Homme, Serge Lutens Cuir Mauresque, Armani Prive' Nuances,
Armani Prive' Bois d'Encens, Ermenegildo Zegna Indonesian Oud, Essenza de Zegna, Amouage Beloved Man, Fahrenheit Le Parfum, Dior La Collection Couturier Vetiver, and Rasikh Syed Junaid Alam.
Easy choice for me.
vintage Habit Rouge EdT
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
Voyage d'Hermes parfum.
Tough call, but as if right now I'd probably go with Gucci Pour Homme II because of it's versatility.
Aventus for sure.
Probably Aventus. If not, GIT since I'd want something super versatile and non-offensive.
Warm weather: Creed Millesime Imperial
Cold weather: Mont Blanc Legend
Either Dior Homme or Creed Green Irish Tweed. I can wear either at any time.
"We don't fail because we aim too high and miss, but because we aim too low and hit" - Les Brown
"When you're all alone, when no one is watching, and there's no one around to impress, that is who you are" - Greg Laurie
Esencia Loewe.
Classy, versatile, centering.
Probably Aventus. DHS, Chez Bond, Chanel Allure Edition Blanche, TdH, and Straight to Heaven would also be considered.
Seasonal favorites:
1. Xerjoff - Nio
2. Creed - Aventus
3. Tom Ford - Grey Vetiver
4. The Different Company - De Bachmakov
5. Dior - Homme Sport 2008
6. Montale - Aoud Legacy
7. Creed - Virgin Island Water
8. by Kilian - Straight to Heaven
9. Creed - Original Cologne
10. Clive Christian - 1872 for Men
Good question and some interesting responses. Versatility is key if committing to one fragrance for 6 months. I would go with Aventus. Bleu de Chanel would be a close second.
HdP 1740.
Vintage Shalimar I could wear this for a year everyday without getting tired. It is magical to me.
GIT or Aventus
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
Givenchy Xeryus Rouge would me mine...
If elegance was the main issue/target/task/request etc., it would most likely be Armani Eau pour Homme
If versatility was the top priority: Rive Gauche pour Homme
If it mainly involved a casual, informal, outgoing atmosphere favoring gourmands: Burberry London, Gucci Envy, Very Irresistible by Givenchy
If it mainly involved a casual, informal, outgoing atmosphere, however favoring far more scents on the light side: Mugler Cologne or Voyage d'Hermes EDT
And these are just immediate, near spontaneously imagined examples about how I'd handle the situation, even more variables could influence my possible decision.
This being said, I guess it would depend a lot on my place of destination, the type of travel, the economic, cultural etc. context of my destination etc., so the choice of a fragrance would become less predictable and highly depending on the context.
Chanel PE or TF GV
For Sale:Gucci Pour Homme II , Amouage Attar,Lubin Idole http://www.basenotes.net/threads/313...dwide-Shipping
+100 Creed Aventus
Chez Bond
Vintage Le 3me Homme. C'mon people, it's like word association. The first thing that pops into your head is the response.
I don't have a signature fragrance. My signature changes a little bit every day, why shouldn't my fragrance?
I could live with YSL Rive Gauche pour homme as an alternative, if all the Chanel Égoïste on earth had evaporated... But then again, a world without Égoïste would doubtfully be worth living in....
In that case I'd take Secretions Magnifique and use 20 sprays every morning and tell anyone who complained that it's your fault.And if I told you, "you're gonna be going everywhere...choose one" what would you take?
Bvlgari pour homme - every time I come back to this scent I'm surprised on its versatility and reactions from those around...
Murdocks's Black Tea.
Kouros would be my prison scent.
Encre Noir at the moment!
sailing the Oceans of Boredom...
When I travel, I always bring with me Acqua di Parma colonia 30ml. Versatile, easy to chuck in the wash bag and very versatile
À l'air libre les oiseaux ont eux aussi le vertige (camille)
Allure Homme Sport
Givenchy Play
Arent you a little short for a stormtrooper?
Knize Ten, hands down.

The honorable Mr. Foetidus. . . enough said. . .
For them we enhance...
Thanks to them we enjoy more...
We have more knowledge... and the task
It is easier
If they weren't, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack!
need them, us newbies, like a cane for the blind!
Thank them!
Which are the best reviewers,
that most helped you?
In my humble opinion...
1) Off-Scenter
with an abysmal knowledge and his matchless sarcasm (really I miss him a lot, already a year ago that disappeared without a trace... I remember I was one week crying...
If I had just copied old dog reviews
(2) Darvant /Alfarom the Italian pair, one all development notes, the other all historical context of perfumery2 geniuses!
Darvant is all wisdom and technicality in perfumery.
How do you make Darvant to be able to smell so many notes in a single perfume?
Alfarom is all common sense, history, humor and prodigious memory mixed with total knowledge of more almost 1000 perfumes!,
Currently there are those who I most consult
Thank you guys
!!! Grazie Ragazzi!!
(3) JTD... pearls in the world of perfumery seen from behind...
And yours?

I think Foetidus and Alfarom could be professional reviewers.
I really enjoy Alfarom's reviews. They are to the point and precise. But not to say most reviewers are great and doing a grand job.
if im not on this list, it doesnt count haha
I liked Dollars and Scents too
Anybody have a sample of Martin Margiela Untitled or Untitled L'Eau? I'm dying to smell these and I've got lots of great niche samples to swap!
"Follow your nose. It always knows." -- Toucan Sam
The usual suspects , Alfarom...Foetidus.....Darvant......
my favorite reviewer (though not many ) would be Oh Hedgehog . Very nifty prose coupled with a concise scent acumen
Don't forget buzzlepuff
HAHA I was just thinking the other day about doing a thread like this. It was because of Alfaroms reviews and his personal recommendations that I asked him to send me.
Alfarom is like a compass in a fragrant world that is so incredibly easy to get lost in. Seriously, he takes the risk out of blind buying. Just check out his wardrobe, point to anything, and you have a winner. If Im ever thinking about blind buying a full bottle, I always check his reviews of it first and if he isnt in to it I dont buy it with out sampling first.
If I cant find a review on something by Alfarom, then the above mentioned Mr Foetidus - Off-Scenter - drseid - Foustie are also excellent reviewers who really know their stuff, and can always be trusted.
That being said everyone who offers a review here on BN and beyond is contributing something useful and I appreciate having found this site and everything it offers. Thanks Basenotes!!!!!!
I read: Darvant, Alfarom, Foetidus, Kaern, Sir Slarty, Odysseusm, Sunstespawn, JaimeB, Narais, Lucasai, Jack Hunter, Foustie, Diamondflame and many others (in fact when I am interested in a scent I read them all).
I tried to not read Dollars and Scents, but unfortunately he could not answer any question without dumping his always in the same way drawn reviews. I don't see him anymore; what happened?
Off-Scenter (sorely missed)
oh. so much to enjoy.
JTD for reviews that read like the very best in art criticism. His incorporation of historic perspective, pop cultural savvy, keen and educated perceptions with a knowledge of the industry and manufacture of scent takes the appreciation of this artform to a serious level.
Oh Hedgehog! for apposite insights and hilarious comments.
Dollars and Scents because I read the reviews in befuddlement: are they the product of a piece of software that automatically generates reviews from note pyramids? or is there a sentient human at the helm??? As the topnotes segue to the awaiting heart, I remain undecided.
Naed_Nitram for the laughs. When he hits stride it's as though PG Wodehouse has reincarnated as a perfume reviewer with wry and accurate observations to make. A hoot!
gimmegreen for a fresh take mostly on ladyscents. She seems to write almost exclusively from her own observation whilst being knowledgeable as well. A rarity.
All of the above with bells on + Cacio and others ...
There are many genuinely great reviewers I enjoy reading, yet in my opinion, Naed_Nitram, The Good Life and Odysseusm are my absolute (and personal) favorites.
Last edited by Ken_Russell; 15th January 2013 at 08:44 PM.
There are many but frankly I remember them more by their avatars than their user names, e.g. the Canadian guy with the drawing of a white haired bloke. Always looked out for, as I saw it, the reliable good cop, bad cop team of Foetidus and Off-Scenter. On the board that team is/was? Hednic and Petrucijc (whatever the exact user name is). It's a shame that some stopped posting.
must_read: alfarom, aromi_erotici, le muchoir de monsieur, hedonist222, Naed_Nitram, Swanky, drseid, ericrico ... heaps more. just love this place, swarm of very talented gentleman with passion oozing all over the url. Thank you guys, you rock.

You guys are seriously making me blush! I'm humbled and....speechless...
Basenotes still counts a solid bunch of great reviewers/knowledgeable people including:
Vibert/Off-Scenter (the one and only)
Hillaire (much missed)
Naed Nitram
Kevin Guyer
Redneck Perfumisto
Brian Chambers

...to name only a few...
thanks you all!

Nitram Naed. I would expect to find reviewers with uber knowledge of perfume in all it's aspects and people with good writing skills but his wit and eloquence sometimes transcend the medium. (His drunken shoe salesman review of Cool Water and the zen monk Kenzo PH immediately spring to mind.)
I should also mention the ones who reviews number hundreds or even thousands. You are a great help and I'll always factor in whether, for example Foetidus has given a fragrance the nod when I'm considering trying it.
Many great reviewers already mentioned , I will add here another great one imo, Bigsly.
I've forgotten another one, Rogalal.
Last edited by Ciprian; 15th January 2013 at 10:43 AM.
Too many to mention, but I always scan for these reviewers first. Luca Turin would die to write their reviews!
My favorite newcomer is Johannes. I rarely agree with him, but his reviews are fun to read because he is so opinionated. Check out his reviews for the laugh factor.
There are many superb reviewers here and elsewhere that I follow, but below are a handful I particularly seek out and enjoy...
Sculpture of Soul
That said, I appreciate, read and admire many, many others.
Current Top Favorites:
1) Portrait of a Lady original formula (EdP Frédéric Malle)
2) Giorgio for Men vintage/V.I.P. for Men (Giorgio Beverly Hills)
3) Dia Man vintage edt (Amouage)
4) Anat Fritz Original Formula and Classical (Anat Fritz) - tie
4) Lalfeorosa (O'driù) - tie
6) Les Nombres d'Or Vetyver (Mona di Orio)
7) Captain vintage (Molyneux)
8) Tzora (Anat Fritz)
9) Javanese Patchouli (Zegna) - tie
9) Monsieur de Givenchy vintage (Givenchy) - tie
9) Coeur de Vetiver Sacré (L'Artisan) - tie
9) X for Men (Clive Christian) - tie
9) Patou pour Homme Privé (Jean Patou) - tie
9) Oud Shamash (The Different Company) - tie
Indeed. BN has some of the best reviewers who take the guesswork from a fragrance that might interest you. I remember cutting down on my own reviews 'cuz prolific reviewers like Darvant and Alfarom were doing such a splendid job!
Off-Scenter's removal of all his reviews must count as one of BN's worst moments.
Btw does anyone realize Naed Nitram is really 'Dean Martin' spelled backwards? Just a little OT piece of trivia.
I'm a big fan of petruccijc's 1-3 word reviews/opinions.
P.S. Where has he been? Haven't seen him in a while.
I always stop to read anything by Alfarom, Foetidus, Diamondflame, Darvant and Drseid. I don't alway agree with their conclusions, but at least I know I will get an honest opinion that I can relate to. I am looking for information and opinions that I can relate to in reviews and hope I can actually get an idea of what the fragrance is like before deciding to test or not. So many of the online reviewers are so pleasant and non opinionated that you can't tell if the fragrance is worth looking at or not (NowSmellThis for instance). I also check pretty much every review that is written by Octavian at 1000fragrances.blogspot.com, as well as Victoria at boisdejasmin.com - Victoria is the best analyst of fragrance and Octavian is just interesting to read.
Where's the love for shamu1?!?
Did Pluran delete some of his reviews? I always enjoyed them, but I'm not sure he's still an active reviewer.
Scentemental is another very good reviewer who, I think, doesn't write many (or maybe any) new ones.
I also like a bunch of the others that have already been mentioned.

I really enjoy reading alfarom reviews to the extent that if I come across something new, I'll look for his name on the reviews and check if he approves it lol
I also enjoy Drseid, Sculpture of Soul and hedonist222 reviews and comments. Hats off to you guys! I learned a lot from you.

But Im partial to the entertainers:
Redneck Perfumisto

Cmon guys... its been far too long.
I particularly like Alfarom and Persolaise... and lots of others too (can't remember all their names)

Foetidus and Diamondflame have the best overall reviews imo. Shamu1 has a great nose, and is also a great reviewer, but he sticks more to the old school stuff, and powerhouses. Silentrich probably has the nose most similar to mine, and for that, I tend to follow his reviews.
What's best about Foetidus, is he is so accurate, whether you agree or disagree.. and oh so very diverse. Fragrances you have never heard of and hidden gems.
But, in general. I think anyone who puts time into a review should be appreciated.
Even you NoirDrakkar! I am impressed with your forum reviews, they are always helpful to me.
I do however wish that BN would include a thumbs up/thumbs down option for peoples reviews on fragrances, that way, we can see whose is really helpful.
My Ultimate Top 5:
Fahrenheit (1988)
Paul Smith Man (2009)
Burberry London (2006)
Prada Amber pour Homme (2006)
Arpege pour Homme (2005)
The ones that come to my mind right away are:
Off scenter (much missed)
Thank you so much guys. The greatest historical basenoters are in my opinion Foetidus and Off-Scenter. Huge also (not only for the enormous amount of reviews) the contribution from Odysseusm and Sir Slarty.
I appreciate even a lot the really glorious Somerville Metro Man. Great respect for Ubuandibeme and tvlampboy.
Currently great basenoters are first of all in my opinion my friend Alfarom (cultured, knowledged, clear, immediately informed and with an enormous passion for the perfumes), and the really fundamental quartet Drseid, JTD, Ericrico, Diamondflame. Other excellent reviewers/members are Naed_Nitram, Pluran, Cacio, Sugandaraja, Hedonist222, Dollars&Scents, Jack Hunter, Oproust, Trebor, Sculpture of Soul, Redneck Perfumisto, Kaern, mrclmind, Petruccijc, Scentemental, Mario Justiniani, Mr Reasonable, Buzzlepuff, Aromi Erotici, Grottola, Ken_Russell, Asha, Scentologist, Caltha, Bartlebooth, Shamu1, Senore 01, The_good_life, Cello, Bokaba, LifeJazz, IMaverick, Jaime B, Mimi Gardenia and others.
I appreciate also seriously the learned reviews written by the romantic/passionate Foustie and by the lovely Blood-orange.
Sorry cause probably i forget many in this moment. Allured by your compliments cooby.
Bye, bye.
Last edited by Darvant; 20th January 2013 at 11:24 AM.
Haven't really thought about it but off the top of my head I'd say that blood orange is very thoughtful, very smart, and understands how notes affect us and sometimes have meaning for us. Naed nitram is fun to read and knows what he's talking about. I don't place a lot,of weight on the reviews, which is why the reviews are sort of a vague, amorphous mass for me. Shamu has written some great reviews, some of which are quite memorable, and I think I can recall that Oh Hedgehog writes stuff that I come away from thinking, "Boy do I wish I could articulate myself like he does."
Darvant, Alfarom. Let's see. The pilot. Diamondflame. Another one where I come away from the review feeling like a dummy. And I'm ok with that. Another five years and I might feel qualified to keep up with this group.

Sugandaraja has such amazing, broad and vast experience and knowledge. It is always a pleasure to find one of his reviews as I know what to expect and how to translate it for me. Other than that, I find it harder and harder to go through the piles of reviews to find the substantial ones.
Naed nitram
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
i have read many great reviews and i joined basenotes only becasue of great reviews!! whoever writes and waits for his/her review to be published really wanted to write something and i appreciate it, its not like hyperproduction on other sites!
and there are really great reviewers here, who made their name so to say , i love this site, it feels almost professional !
It's a CRIME that PigeonMurderer hasn't been mentioned yet!
Being new to BN one year ago, it did not take me long to discover one reviewer whose reviews were consistently spot on. whose style and format were uniform and dependable... ALAFROM!
Thanks Alafrom for your contributions to this community. I'd be wandering around blindly were it not for your insight and and rating system.
the good life
tragedy when off-scenter disappeared
When I need to know something about a Fragrance, I simply search for Ericrico's and Alfarom's reviews.
And I don't need anything anymore.
Alfarom is a good gauge for me in terms of liking a fragrance, similar tastes I guess.
Off-scenter for the reviews themselves

Recent Bolton Reviews
We loved your townhome!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Bear Run Townhome. The owners have done a wonderful job updating this townhome and have paid close attention to details. The layout was great, it was beautifully furnished, very clean and tidy, excellent amenities, and the owners were very nice to work with. Our kids enjoyed the big screen tv and surround sound at night to watch their movies. The kitchen was set up perfectly and had everything we could have asked for in a rental unit. Cooking while being able to keep an eye on the kids in the living room area was a bonus. The location is great whether you are skiing, hiking, biking, or traveling to other locations in VT. We would definitely recommend this townhome to anyone visiting Bolton Valley or nearby areas!

I'm beginning to think we should have our next Food Blogger Camp in some dark, gray place (like my apartment in the middle of the winter, back in Paris) instead of alongside a gorgeous sunny beach in Mexico. Because as much as we were all having fun learning about food styling and photography, and talking about the nature and intricacies of blogging, there's also a considerable amount of time we are obliged to spend poolside or on the beach, taking a break from the arduous studying everyone is deeply engaged in.
Okay, that's not really true. We're finding a good balance between playing and learning some photos tips, practicing with Mexican fruits, breads, and Kerrygold butter, which was especially good for me because I think there must be a few hundred posts on my site alone that feature butter.

Best game!
Great Game: I made a review video about it too! youtube.com/watch?v=gG8j_BQz8ro&feature=youtu.be This game is one of the best cube based games besides AssaultCube! It has a lot of awesome features, and I like the IRC relay part built into the server!
Very interesting game and nice graphics.
Just amazing. Powerful, fast, easy to use, and from what I can tell, a surprisingly small footprint

What is sequestration?
The Budget Control Act of 2011 (P.L. 112-25) established caps on discretionary spending over 10 years, resulting in $1 trillion in cuts spread across discretionary programs. The law also directed a congressional Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction to identify an additional $1.2 trillion in budgetary savings over ten years. The failure of the bi-partisan "super committee" to come to an agreement on a deficit reduction plan triggered "sequestration" to take effect on January 2, 2013.
To sequester means to set apart or to take something away until a debt has been repaid. In the context of funding federal programs, sequester means imminent, across-the-board cuts to most programs, both defense and nondefense—in addition to the $1 trillion in cuts already sustained through the Budget Control Act's discretionary caps.
There are a few discretionary programs that are exempt from sequestration in the first year, such as Pell grants in the Department of Education. Some mandatory programs, such as Medicaid, are also exempt from the sequester.
What is "NDD?"
When thinking about the federal budget, policymakers differentiate between discretionary programs and "entitlement" programs. Discretionary programs are those that Congress funds annually through the appropriations process. "Entitlement" programs are those that are funded almost automatically to meet the needs of all who qualify for them. Every year, Congress must make an active decision on whether to fund discretionary programs and at what level.
Nondefense discretionary or "NDD" programs are all the programs that the government funds for the benefit of all outside of defense programming, including medical and scientific research; education and job training; infrastructure; public safety and law enforcement; public health; weather monitoring and environmental protection; natural and cultural resources; housing and social services; and international relations.
How is the sequester affecting nondefense discretionary programs?
In 2013, the sequester reduced most NDD programs by 5%. These cuts were across the board, with almost no departmental or agency control on how the sequester impacts individual programs.
Cuts of this level will be devastating to the nation's investment in scientific research in the long run. For example, according to a letter the Department of Health and Human Services sent to Congressman Ed Markey (D-MA), "The NIH could potentially eliminate 2300 new and competing grants, with 300 fewer grants given by NCI" if the sequester takes affect in January.
The Biophysical Society joined nearly 3000 other organizations n advocating that Congress use a balanced approach that does not include further cuts to NDD programs.
Sequestration will continue to occur in outgoing years unless Congress changes the law or meets ever-decreasing spending limits on the federal budget in its annual appropriations process.
What can you do?
Let your Congressmen know that the nondefense discretionary community, including scientific research, has already done its part to reduce the deficit, and that any plan to reduce the deficit should not include more NDD cuts that harm American families.
Recommended message: " I support a balanced approach to deficit reduction that does not include further cuts to nondefense discretionary (NDD) programs. These programs have already contributed to deficit reduction through the bipartisan Budget Control Act (BCA) and prior spending cuts."
There are a variety of actions you can take to participate:
Call, email, or send a letter to your Congressmen. Contact information available here.
Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper.
Use Facebook and Twitter to share the message #CuresNotCuts to #science. Tweet directly to policymakers by using the twitter handle of the Member of Congress whose attention you are seeking. Sample tweets are available here.

Check Bio Tech
EIA forecasts paints gloomy fuel price projection: $8.68 gasoline, $268 crude oil by 2040.Despite more pain at the pump, EIA cuts back sharply on projections for flex-fuel and all-electric vehicles. Where are the alternatives?When six press releases arrive from the biofuels community in the space of two hours, offering perspective and caution on the US Energy Information Administration's annual energy outlook (through 2040) - you can figure that there's a grenade in there aimed at biofuels.Here in Digestville, we'd rather not work off yesterday's 16-page early release, but wait for the final release in the springtime of the EIA's case. But Washington rarely waits for the final data to come in to get a dogfight going - so let's look at the controversies, and other elements in the repo

MARK KEOHANE writes the Stormers coaching staff must persist with Elton Jantjies and the Bulls must play Jan Serfontein.
Jantjies did not play any of the Stormers pre-season matches because of his father's death three weeks ago and his performance did not betray the turmoil of what he has had to endure. His mind is understandably burdened and he showed the hesitancy of a player lacking in game time. He will get better but he can only do so if he plays.
Peter Grant is back from Japan this week, but it would be unfair on Jantjies to start Grant. Jantjies is an outstanding goal kicker and his failure at Loftus was not consistent with what he has produced in his Super Rugby career, which before Saturday's match was an 80 percent success rate. His goal kicking, in particular, suffered at Loftus as he failed to convert four successive attempts at goal. It won't easily happen again.
Joe Pietersen was introduced to provide a secondary goal kicking option and immediately succeeded with a touchline conversion and added two more successful kicks. It proved insufficient on the night.
Lions imports Jantjies, Jaco Taute and Pat Cilliers must have felt they were in familiar territory as the Stormers failed to get going in the first half and the feeling of defeat would have been all too familiar. It will change for all three players and for the Stormers who will win more this season than they will lose.
The Bulls were deserved winners, courtesy of their pack. Jantjies's goal kicking had an influence in the flow of the match but it is not the reason the Stormers lost. The pack was second in the primary set phases, both at the scrum and at the line out, and the backs, like the Bulls backs, were guilty of too much lateral movement.
Jantjies in the first 40 minutes got very little quality ball to work with and played most of the half on the back foot. The Bulls attacked his channel and the youngster's defence on the night was not of the required standard. It was a poor start for Jantjies but scrum half Nick Groom was equally sluggish and was also done no favours by his beaten pack of forwards.
The more experienced Dewald Duvenhage, whose line kicking game is stronger than Groom's should have been introduced earlier, although it was up front where the match outcome was determined.
Victor Matfield's influence in disrupting the Stormers ball was obvious. Matfield's presence, even though it is now confined to a coaching and technical capacity, is massive and a lot of teams are going to curse the fact that Matfield is back with the Bulls, even if it isn't in a playing guise. There is no better exponent of the line out in the world and the Bulls master identified that Deon Fourie, for all his skill at the break down, can implode at line out.
Fourie struggled with his throwing in against the Bulls and it affected his match contribution.
The Bulls pack was good and Pierre Spies, along with flyhalf Morne Steyn, prospered. Spies won the battle of the No 8s against Bok incumbent Duane Vermeulen, with the latter a victim of his tight five's failure to dominate the hosts. Steyn's tactical kicking was special, as was his flawless goal kicking and he also took the honours against fellow Bok Jantjies, who was spared nothing on social forums and in the Cape media.
The Bulls backs lack the x-factor on attack and SA under 21 centre Jan Serfontein must be played sooner rather than later. He will give the attack that individual brilliance that unlocks defences. Collectively, against a defence as good as the Stormers, the Bulls never threatened or looked likely to score a try, despite an overwhelming first half possession advantage.
The Sharks tight forwards – and desperate defence – were the pillars of the Sharks victory in Bloemfontein. Cheetahs flyhalf Johan Goosen missed his first three kicks at goal but the Bok flyhalf, playing his first competitive match since August last year, also got significantly better as the game developed and centre Johan Sadie showed glimpses of the form that made him such an exciting prospect with the Stormers.
Pat Lambie, like Steyn at Loftus, excelled at flyhalf and was the beneficiary of his tight forwards' dominant effort.
Tournament newcomers the Kings were huge defensively. They were brave and passionate and they fed off the emotion of their historic home debut. Luke Watson, in the first 30 minutes, led from the front before injury ended his night, his replacement Jacques Engelbrecht made a big impact, lock Steven Sykes was colossal, hooker Bandisi Maku was industrious and the midfield of Andries Strauss and Ronnie Cooke were composed. The night's headlines went to 18 year-old winger Sergeal Petersen who scored two tries on debut.
The season will get significantly tougher for a Kings squad lacking the necessary squad depth, but already they have made a statement of what is possible if there is greater investment in the region.
The New Zealand teams were all-round the most impressive although they won't always be able to play with a similar fluidity when confronted by the tougher and more physical South African forwards, especially when playing the Sharks, Stormers and Bulls in South Africa.
The Tahs were disappointing in losing to the Reds and the Brumbies clearly are the best coached team in Australia and the best performing after two rounds.

National team competitions
Beretta-Famila Schio travelled to Spain and upset defending EuroLeague Women champions Perfumerias Avenida 67-59 in their opening Round 2 clash.
Italian veteran Laura Macchi had 19 points to pace Schio, who can now reach the Final Eight with a win at home on Friday.
The Salamanca fans never give up but even they were stunned late in the first half, when Schio had a 37-20 lead.
Four Liron Cohen free-throws sandwiched a jump shot by Janel McCarville to push the Beretta-Famila advantage to 17.
Erika De Souza and Dewanna Bonner each made two free-throws at the end of the second quarter for Avenida and the hosts went to half-time staring at a 37-24 deficit.
The scoring run reached six when Marta Fernandez, who had 18 points, buried a jumper at the start of the third to leave Schio in front, 37-36.
De Souza's two free-throws reduced the arrears to 43-36 with 4:11 to go in the third quarter, but Schio maintained a comfortable lead as first McCarville hit a jumper and then recent signing Ivana Jalcova drilled a three-pointer to make it 48-36 in favor of the Italians.
Avenida got to within five points early in the fourth quarter after a basket by Fernandez but Cohen nailed a three-pointer for Schio and the Italians held on for an impressive road triumph.
Lucas Mondelo's team stayed in the game thanks to its free-throw shooting.
Avenida made 23 of 24 free-throws.

It Happened Here
During Maryland's first state convention on September 6, 1776, Washington County, Maryland was born. This mountainess county has had some pretty spectacular historical firsts and some rather famous attractions that have noteworthy imprints toward our nation's outgrowth.
Out of the thirty-one counties in the United States, Washington County, Maryland was the first to be named after our first president, George Washington.
In the second oldest almanac, J. Gruber's Hagers-Town Town and Country Almanack, Washington County's agricultural roots are noted.
Fort Frederick is the only remaining fort from the French and Indian War.
Residents of Boonsboro during 1827, constructed the first monument in memory of George Washington.
The first recorded bucket brigade for fire fighting began in Hagerstown, Maryland in 1790.
Abolitionist John Brown camped out at the Kennedy farm in Pleasant Valley, now a national landmark, plotted his attack on Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, which took place on October 16, 1859.
In 1905, under the leadership of Mary Titcomb, the Washington County Free Library in Hagerstown launched the world's first bookmobile, a horse-drawn book wagon.
This same library became the first chartered county library in the nation in 1898.
