"feel very regretful. my plan is to not take a solicitor and simply bleed guilty to …"
"And if I bleed guilty, It doesn't matter the punishment is the same"
even a couple of irregular pasts:
"would get life if he bled guilty"
"But evidently, you believe that he is innocent even though he bled guilty."
Another close one. The pronunciation is close enough but is there any semantic justification for "bleeding guilty" ? Apart from a Cockney one: "I'm bleeding guilty".
Or is it a typo placed on top of of an incorrectly spelled "pleed" and its imagined past "pled"?
On the plain in Spain where it mainly rains.
You also get some cases of bleed innocent :
Come on girl, by law we bleed innocent before you prove guilty.
I could have bled innocent if an enraged husband cornered me
Related though different:
Firstly this is not the first event in the history of India where terrorists have sneaked in to our country and bled innocent blood.
Here bled is substituting for shed . And yet, we causativize so many other intransitive verbs, why not bleed —that would yield the requisite meaning ('make [someone] bleed'). Actually, we already have that meaning, in phrases like "bleed the chicken (after cutting off its head)".
Perhaps if you bleed guilty you admit to having bled (others') innocent blood? Or perhaps you are bleeding your own blood in the agony of remorse? If you bleed innocent are you bleeding your own innocent blood (again in drops of agony?) in the process? Is there a sexual reference, bleeding virgin blood to prove you are innocent?

*If the human mind were simple enough for us to understand,
we would be too simple-minded to understand it* .
I wonder if it's some kind of misunderstood echo of trial by ordeal. Or of "pricking your conscience"?

Not many quarterbacks can match physicality with him and withstand his punishing hits.
Reddick stands 6-foot-3 and weighs 240-pounds, and on Saturday, he saw a larger man opposing him — Virginia Tech quarterback Logan Thomas (6-foot-6, 260).
Reddick did not care at all.
Reddick brought blitz to Thomas early and often, and accounted for seven tackles, two for a loss, half a sack, two breakups and a quarterback hurry.
"He's a big dude," Reddick said of Thomas. "I told the guys we had to get multiple hits on him and get him down, keep striking him and get more guys to the ball."
Thomas was flustered all day by
The 48-34 win over the Hokies put the Tar Heels (4-2, 1-1 ACC) in a good position in the Coastal Division.
Even though the Tar Heels can't compete for an ACC championship, or go to a bowl game, this season due to an NCAA violation, Reddick made it known they had other goals.
"We want to destroy other teams' seasons," Reddick said. "Instead of worrying about us not going to the postseason this year, we need to set a standard to show other ACC teams that
Reddick also made it clear that he has been closely following his high school alma mater this season.

UNC wide receiver Erik Highsmith is also a native of
While he has made a name for himself at
Highsmith, along with other playmaking wide outs Eric Ebron, Sean Tapley and Quinshad Davis, comprise a wide receiving corps to be feared by opposing defenses.
Against the Hokies, Highsmith tallied 29 receiving yards on four catches.
"It's really good and fun to be a part of this offense," Highsmith said. "We have so many guys who can make plays that the defenses can't focus on just one of us."
Knowing the history of Virginia Tech's defense under revered defensive coordinator Bud Foster, Highsmith and his teammates know how rare, and special, it is to score nearly 50 points on them.
"It's phenomenal, the way we played today," Highsmith said. "I knew we could beat them and that we could put up points against them with all of our offensive weapons."
Like Reddick, Highsmith is curious as to how his high school alma mater is doing this season.
"I haven't been able to keep with them too much, and I wish I could make it home sometime to talk to them and I'm hoping I can sometime soon," he said.
"What I would tell them is to just keep their heads up, play every game like its their last and enjoy it as much as they can."

text: Shelving is one of the most basic components to getting organized in any room or space in a home, office, or school. Shelves provide us with the framework to staying organized. They are the skeleton from which the body of organization in a room is dependent upon to keep everything connected and going strong. If you need storage and if you need to organize a space, shelves are essential. Tiered shelf units can instantly provide you with multiple shelves to get you going on that organization project.Different spaces and rooms require different kinds of shelving. If you are organizing your garage, utility shelving units will work just fine to get the job done. If you want a tiered shelving unit in a standard closet, you might want one that is lower to the ground. If you want it in a walk in closet, than taking advantage of the four or five tiered shelf units would be a great choice. If you want the storage that a tiered shelving unit can provide in your living room, dining room, bedroom, or bathroom than you wouldn't want to use a standard utility shelving unit. Aesthetically pleasing shelving that fit your personal style and the overall décor of the room will become equally as important as the functionality of the shelving.There are many different styles and kinds of tiered shelf units. Some come complete with a bin as each shelf, which is conducive to organizing many similarly grouped small to medium items. Bathroom essentials, cosmetics, toiletry items, and hair products could be stored in a unit with built in bins. Many different styles are available such as wicker, corn husk, wood and rattan, bamboo, and plastic bins.The multi – tiered shelf units that come with plastic bins would be great in a child's bedroom, playroom, or in a classroom to store toys, craft and art supplies, or even books. Grouping similar items together in each bin makes it easier for a young child during pick up time. He can know that all the blocks go in the top red bin. All the cars and trucks go in the yellow bin. All the crayons and markers can go in a green bin. For the really young, taking pictures of the toys or items you want them to place in the individual bins and adhering the pictures to the outside of the bins will help a child know where to put which item. This can encourage play as well. When a child can see a bin of blocks, she may want to build with them. If she sees a big toy box full of all sorts of toys, she may not even think to dig through it all to find all the blocks in order to build with them. So, having a multi – tiered bin shelving unit can help organize, inspire, and be aesthetically pleasing to the eye.Tiered shelving in the living room can create a sense of style as well as organize. Select a style that fits your overall décor. If you love the look of dark wood, then consider dark wood bookshelves. Use it to store books, art objects, plants, or place baskets of smaller items you need to store on the shelves. Its more pleasing to the eye if you break up the different elements you want to store. So, fill up one shelf with five to six books with their spines vertical perpendicular to the shelf itself. On the same shelf, place a framed photograph, a vase and maybe on the opposite end of the shelf three books stacked with their spines parallel to the shelf. Place a small object of interest on top of your stack of books.Tiered shelving units are functional tools to get a room or space organized, but they can also contribute to the overall décor of a room. Select one or two that fits your style and happy organizing!

While we love senior shelter dogs, we can't help but get excited when we have a litter of adorable puppies under our care. Recently, a litter of five sweet puppies left our Adoption Center for loving homes!
One of these cuties was a puppy with a velvety black coat named Inky, now called Boo.
Boo's adopter, Diamond Durant, had never visited the Adoption Center before but fell in love with this "adorable, sweet, and playful" puppy right away.
"Boo is very sweet, loves to play and loves to sit on my lap," Diamond says. "She nibbles on everything and calls for attention when she enters a room."
Boo's sister Pinky was also matched with a loving family. Her adopter, Pamela Harris, renamed her Opal and reports that this little puppy is thriving.
"We were thinking about what it would be like to adopt a slightly older dog, but then we met Opal," Pamela says. "She was nervous and shaky, and the minute Joe picked her up and held her she licked his face and fell sound asleep. That was it—we were adopting her."
And while Opal is still adjusting to the chilly New York City wind, she is adapting quickly to her new home.
"Opal hilariously hops when she runs, she politely sits before going out and coming in, and she loves her toys," Pamela says. "She has her moments of rambunctious puppy-ness and on the whole is beyond sweet."
Opal will soon attend puppy playgroups, "where she can romp and get some of her ya-yas out," and puppy obedience classes.
We're so excited that these puppies got a second chance to find loving homes!
If you're looking to adopt a puppy in NYC, check in with the ASPCA Adoption Center! We often have puppies for adoption, but they are frequently adopted before their pictures make it up on our website.
Got a Happy Tail of your own? Submit it to [email protected] and you could see it on the ASPCA Blog.
I have adopted 6 pitbulls from My vet who used to sit on the board of the ASPCA. In the last two years I've lost two, to cancer. One was 11 & one was only 6. It broke my heart. I started loving this breed at 17yrs old. I'm now 54. I would love to rescue more. Please let me know when you have more that need homes, it would be easier to get them into the pack of 4 if they were younger rather than older. The two I lost have left a whole in my heart. I love the breed as they become our children, part of our family.
That's great! I hope that everyone has a great and safe weekend, plus I hope that they had a nice MLK Day and are having a great and safe Groundhog Day!That goes for last year and all the other years that I've missed. I'm sorry about that, but it slipped my mind last week.
I think she is just the cutest little thing. I hope she has a loving family all her life.

June 21, 2012
Ah, autumn. There's a nip in the air, and practically every local radio and television station, newspaper, and coworker hanging out at the water cooler is talking about the plight of OSU football. As I think of the upcoming game with that "team up north" (and I try not to think about it much, truth be told), my mind turns to thoughts of … binary stars. So I'm an astro-nerd. Sue me.
Still, you'll find a connection between the giant hydrogen bombs called stars and large young men running around after an inflated pigskin, but it's not one designed to increase the popularity of astronomy among the gridiron-obsessed in Central Ohio.
Even a small department-store telescope will show you what I mean. The star Almach is relatively easy to find because it is visible to the unaided eye. Around 7:15 PM, look high in the southeast for the large assembly of four stars in a rough square called the Great Square of Pegasus. Find the leftmost star in the Great Square and look left for the star Almach. (A star map will help you here – or a trip to Perkins Observatory, hint, hint.)
You've found Almach, or Gamma Andromedae, not just a star but also a star system 200 light years distant from planet Earth. (One light year is about 6 trillion miles. You multiply it out. I have to watch the game). At that distance, it is one of the closer stars to us.
Your small telescope will reveal that Almach is not one star but two, i.e., a binary star. Such "doubles," as they are sometimes called, are locked in a gravitational embrace. The dimmer, smaller star is forever fated to orbit the other.
Star B, the dimmer one, is about 60 billion miles from the brighter Star A. That's about 600 times farther than our Earth is from the sun. The result is that B takes at least a few thousand years to complete one circuit around A. If you want to know the vastness of the universe, consider that the tiny gap you see between the two stars represents billions of miles.
As it turns out, Almach is not merely a double but a quadruple star system. In 1842 astronomer Otto Struve discovered that Star B is itself a close double star. Orbiting B at an average of 3 billion miles is Star C, invisible to all but the largest of amateur telescopes. That's relatively close — about the same distance as the planet Neptune is from the sun. As a result, C takes only a few hundred years to complete one orbit around B.
If that distance sounds unusually close, consider that Star B has another companion that's even closer. Star D is only a million miles from B, about one hundredth the distance of Earth to the sun. D zips around B in less than three days, practically skimming the surface of B. You won't see D in any telescope. We only know about it because of the slight wobble it produces in the movement of B around A.
Almach may seem like a strange bird, but it isn't. In fact, most stars you see in the nighttime sky are at least double and many are multiple systems. Our sun is the odd star out, a so-called "bachelor" star, as it wanders alone and forlorn in the universe.
So what's the connection with football? On one level, the stars orbit each other, wheels within wheels, like some complex chalkboard design for the strangest football play ever designed.
However, that's not what I mean. The B star in the main pair is a brilliant blue. Star A, the brighter one, glows yellow. One might even call its color maize. Yes, OSU fans, there they are. The University of Michigan school colors for all the cursed world to see, with nary a scarlet and gray pair to illuminate the dismal, dark skies of autumn.

Ryan Reynolds, We Haven't Forgotten About You – The Daily Swoon
Just where the hell has Ryan Reynolds been lately? Even though he's been absent for a while, that doesn't mean we've forgotten how cute he is. Especially without a shirt on.
We've loved him since he first popped up as the wacky, clever leading man (adjectives that could describe many of his roles) in 'Van Wilder,' but he and his abs have also proven worth their salt in dramatic movies like the 'Amityville Horror' remake and the claustrophobic thriller 'Buried.'
And 2011 was a big year for Reynolds, who starred in the comedy 'The Change-Up' and as the titular hero in 'Green Lantern,' but then last year we only saw him once, in the action thriller 'Safe House,' before he sort of disappeared for a while. Sure, he went off and married actress Blake Lively, but how much time do you need to hang out after your wedding? Get you and your abs back to work, dammit! We miss you!
He has a few movies coming out this year — 'R.I.P.D.' is a horror comedy about zombie police officers, and then there's 'Turbo' and 'The Croods,' but those two are animated films, so we don't even get to see him. Ugh, Hollywood, get it together.

Created by Adobe type designer Carol Twombly, Chaparral combines the legibility of slab serif designs popularized in the 19th century with the grace of 16th-century roman book lettering. The result is a versatile, hybrid slab-serif design, a unique addition to the Adobe Originals family of typefaces. Unlike geometric slab serif designs, Chaparral has varying letter proportions that give it an accessible and friendly appearance in all weights from light to bold. Like the drought-resistant brush that blooms on the arid coastal range near Twomblys California home, Chaparrals highly functional design is surprisingly beautiful.

Q&A with Piotr Beczala | Faust Photo Gallery Faust: In Focus
The story of Faust—the aging scientist who sells his soul to the devil to return to his youth—has inspired artists for centuries. What do you enjoy most about playing this character in Gounod's opera? I love the change he goes through from old to young in the prologue. When I first sang the role in 2005 at Covent Garden I spent hours in the parks watching old men moving, with a stick, how they react to things. It had a direct influence on my basic idea of Faust. You have to make the character believable visually, not only through the makeup and costumes, but also the movement. But of course the most challenging part is to capture the old Faust vocally. How do you do that? He sings with a different color. My vocal teacher used to tell me never to think of the beauty of the voice in that first scene. You have to start with an almost baritonal, rough sound, and then a half-hour later you have a high C and a gentle sound in "Salut demeure," which is very beautiful and elegant. That's the style of the young Faust. It's all about finding the right color to develop the story. You start low and expressive and dramatic, and you can't push the voice too soon, to save the beauty for the rest of the evening. And then you have to find a way to show the degeneration, the decline of the character. When he first meets Marguerite he is enjoying this new young body, and from there he's going down, down, down. The only exception is when he tries to save Marguerite at the end—and he doesn't know how to do that. It seems at first that Faust is more intrigued by Méphistophélès than afraid of him. At what point does he begin to see the devil's true intent? In the trio with Valentin and Méphistophélès. Before that he's joking. He starts taking things seriously when it becomes dangerous. When he sees the death of Valentin, that's when he realizes which direction his relationship with Méphistophélès is going. Last month you sang the Duke in the new production of Rigoletto. Do you see any parallels between your two characters? Faust is a very honest person. Everything he says he means—or he thinks he does. The Duke is always joking, playing, making fun, directing people to get what he wants. His only honest moment, where he's describing his true feelings, are the three and a half minutes in the second act when he sings "Parmi veder le lagrime." From Faust's first "Rien!" to his last line, he is completely honest. He never pretends to be anything else. —Charles Sheek This interview was first published online and in the Met's Playbill in March 2013.

What better place to put your dog's food and water dish than on the Personalized Paws & Bones Pattern Dog Food Mat? You will fall in love with the fun, doggy friendly design of this mat as much as you will fall in love with its great features!
The Personalized Paws & Bones Pattern Dog Food Mat is a Waterhog mat made from a polypropylene material. This material ensures that your mat will not smell of mildew or rot after getting wet. Also, the mat can be left out in the sun and the color won't fade, which makes it perfect for your patio or deck. This dog dish mat also features an anti-skid backing. The back of this mat is designed to keep the mat in place and prevent it from sliding around the floor while your dog is eating or drinking out of their bowls. Because of the super-tough polypropylene materials used to make this Waterhog mat, this mat can be left in extreme cold or heat and will maintain its chemical structure. This means if you live in North Dakota like we do, you can leave the Personalized Paws & Bones Pattern Dog Food Mat outside during the winter months and the mat will not crack, but will continue to be pliable. Another great thing about this mat is that it's made out of partially recycled materials, so it's good for the environment.
As if the fun design wasn't enough, you can personalize this dog dish mat with up to 8 characters. Your dog's name will be stamped into the mat using a classic block style text, which runs along the bottom of the mat so that you can set your dog's dishes on the mat and still read their name. The Personalized Paws & Bones Pattern Dog Food Mat is available in 19 colors, so there is sure to be one that catches your eye.

TomTom searches for drivers to explore and map five paradise islands

TomTom searches for drivers to explore and map five paradise islands
~ Unique project to map a tropical island and earn £10,000 ~
London, 1 June 2012 – TomTom today kicks off its Map Paradise Project, a once-in-a life-time opportunity for five families or groups of friends to spend two weeks on a tropical island and earn £10,000 for mapping it. The Map Paradise Project will help create five new navigable maps for: Fiji, St. Lucia, Mauritius, Cape Verde, and the Seychelles. To apply, applicants simply need to fill in a form at HTTP//www.tomtom.com/summer
Successful applicants can take up to four family members or friends with them to help map a paradise island. In total, five groups will be sent on all-expenses-paid mapping assignments and each group will earn £10,000. No mapping experience is needed, but TomTom is looking for people who enjoy exploring beautiful places, don't mind great weather and who have a decent sense of direction.
Those selected for the Map Paradise Project will simply need to drive around the island in a specially equipped mapping car. This is the very first step in TomTom's map making process. This mapping field work will take anything from a day to two weeks depending on how much time is spent sunbathing, swimming or exploring.
"The very first step in creating an accurate map is proper field work, and that is where the Map Paradise Project comes in," said Corinne Vigreux, managing director, TomTom. "This project will not only create five new navigable maps, it will also give people a unique insight into how our maps are made. And where better to start mapping, then on a beautiful paradise island."
A short film introducing the TomTom Map Paradise Project can be viewed here.

MARK KEOHANE, in his weekly Business Day newspaper column, applauds New Zealand's defensive effort in the World Cup final.
France earned the respect of all New Zealanders and the All Blacks surely earned the respect of the rugby world.
You cannot begrudge the All Blacks their moment, and you also cannot deny captain Richie McCaw his finest 80 minutes as an international player. He is finally a world champion.
France captain Thierry Dusautoir was the player of the match but it was the player of the past decade (McCaw) who got gold on the night.
Some may say the rugby gods have a heart, especially if you remember McCaw's night — and face — at the 2007 World Cup in Cardiff four years ago when France beat the All Blacks 20-18.
McCaw and the All Blacks deserved the win. Not just because of their defensive effort on the night, but because of what they have dealt with at this tournament — expectation, pressure and injury setbacks.
Home-ground advantage is big in any tournament but in World Cups it has been a curse. New Zealand are the first host nation to win the World Cup in the professional era and they did it with their fourth choice at flyhalf, Stephen Donald, for the final 45 minutes.
They did it without Dan Carter and they did it with McCaw playing the entire tournament with a foot injury that will require surgery.
It is easy to forget the obstacles New Zealand had to overcome because of France's effort but it would be doing the defensive quality of this final a disservice.
France had offered nothing at this tournament. They had been awful and had been beaten twice in the league stages. They were told they were a disgrace to the romance of French rugby and the World Cup heroics of their predecessors. But they are France and with the French you never know who gets out of bed, let alone who pitches up to play a game of rugby.
They are also players who believe the only rugby experience better than playing the All Blacks is beating them. I can't applaud their effort enough. Then again neither can I that of the All Blacks.
France's intensity spooked the All Blacks four years ago, but this time New Zealand were prepared for the physicality of France, and to a man they backed their defensive system and backed the bloke on the inside and the outside to make his tackle. This is a team that trusted in each other as much as each guy did himself.
France were monstrous in the collisions. Dusautoir played the game of his life. France played more intelligently than they have all tournament, and like a team with a plan.
France played from set piece to set piece, limited idiotic decision-making in their own half and played like a team with the belief that they could strangle New Zealand up front and outkick them.
This was raw passion from France. They played for their honour, their dignity and the right to be World Cup champions, but they never had the attacking threat to match either the power of their pack or the intent of their minds. It has been their Achilles heel all tournament.
The All Blacks in the professional era have always been accused of not respecting winning ugly. They did that at Eden Park and their defensive effort was monumental.
France will get many accolades because they defied the belief that the All Blacks would win easily, but if the adage is true that World Cups are won on defence, then New Zealand are deserved winners.
There were heroes on both sides and thankfully no villains, even though All Black Piri Weepu would probably have had to emigrate if France had been the champions.
Weepu missed two penalties, a conversion and kick-started France's solitary try with a chip kick that landed in a French hand and ended in seven points for France.
He also suffered at the base of the scrum because of the French effort, more than the New Zealand lack of effort, but when the battered All Black forwards had to produce their biggest effort of the last four years they did so in the last four minutes of the World Cup final. They kept the ball for three minutes, forced the penalty and won the game that for the people of New Zealand was so much more than a rugby result.
And it was as if the rugby gods were reminding all of New Zealand about humility. New Zealand would win it by a point to make a point.
Crushing the French would have resulted in New Zealand arrogance and perhaps another 24-year wait for the gold cup.
But to be in Auckland last night was to know there was nothing blasé about this New Zealand celebration.
There was just relief and recognition that attack wins you the Tri-Nations but defence wins you the World Cup.

Jujy, if you ever need, I can contribute a 3ml decant of Miss Balmain (from the early 80s) to your sample pass. Fond de fumee all the way!
***UPDATE: We have seven sniffers, which is just just right.***
I have added another vintage Weil to my collection, Cassandra EdC in packaging old enough to not have UPC bars on it. At first smell, with moi getting over a cold, this creation of Jacqueline Fraysse is clearly Weil, a cousin to the spicier Zibeline and the sweeter Antilope, with just a hint of that "fond du ashtray" that I find appealing, appearing most notably in Miss Balmain. Propelled thus into a serial sniff, I arrayed them: Antilope, Cassandra, Miss Balmain (not a Weil, but stick with me), and, finally the grande dame Zibeline. This is indeed a scent progression with flowers receding, as wood, smoke and animalics take over. I like the idea of a sample pass that represents a progression. Interested? A mix of experienced* and new** noses would be most welcome.
* the usual and unusual suspects
** ScentFan, I'm looking at you!

Oh, my, yes, dear Twolf. I don't know the vintage of my ebay purchase, in a ribbed spray bottle, no box. Miss B is one of the greats in my book. Allow me to announce a sample pass, probably by editing the title of this thread, and see if there is interest.
- - - Updated - - -
Anyone??? Sample pass??? All I need is you.
needily needling, I remain,
What do insomniac perfumers do to fall asleep? They count chypres!
My dear, this sounds lovely, but I'm swamped in samples right now from the Meet-up and probably will be through the New Year. I've made friends with several of these little lovelies, but there are some real stinkers in here that I will be unloading on several you who were unable to join us.
Bogsc has a good nose for Weil. Hello, Brooklyn?
Not at all, ScentFan. I've enjoyed your observations here on basenotes, and the best sample passes are a blend of friends old and new, novice and experienced noses. Tell your friends, I'd love to put together a pass for three to five sniffers.
What do insomniac perfumers do to fall asleep? They count chypres!
I have not smelled any from Weil and curious about Miss Balmain.. please count me in.
Ah, kalli and ScentFan are in [smiles]. So, TWolf, are you a participant as well as contributor?
Any other sniffers?
What do insomniac perfumers do to fall asleep? They count chypres!
I think I will pass this time, I am fairly well-versed on Weil (not Cassandra though) and would love to have more people to get to know the house and its masterpieces.
These are all completely new to me, but if, like Scentfan, you don't mind my being a mere infant in the land of scent, I'd be delighted to join the noses.
Welcome aboard, danieq!
What do insomniac perfumers do to fall asleep? They count chypres!
These are all new to me, and I have been enjoying exploring vintage scents. I would like to be included if that's OK. I am in the US.
I'd like to participate.
I was SO fortunate to be part of your other Weil pass, jujy. And I would really love to try another precious vintage Weil. But I have been in few passes already, I can't possible to take away this great opportunity from someone else. Maybe if you can put me towards the very end, and whatever is left, left - only then I can pacify my consciousness.
Fantastic. We have six participants:
Let me double check my decanting supplies and think about what order to pass. What do we say, a new or novice nose to start? Anyone want to be first or last? WiteFluffy, I think your contribution would be valuable somewhere before the end, if that's all right.
What do insomniac perfumers do to fall asleep? They count chypres!
Lovely! I am happy to be placed wherever you see fit. I believe I am likely to be the newest to the scent fest, having begun only in July if that helps you to decide.
If there is still room, I'd love to join!
- - - Updated - - -
And thanks for the shout out my dear friend schilling. It's been a lost week...and I would have missed this without ur suggestion and jujy's kind query about my interest!
And bogsc makes seven! Stay tuned (:
What do insomniac perfumers do to fall asleep? They count chypres!
I don't care what order I am in, btw.
I really look forward to reading this. I've been seeing Weil mentioned with much love around here, and it's piqued my interest. I'm buried in work (and samples from Chicago) til after the New Year so I didn't want to jump into the pass, but I'll be stalking the thread to see what you all have to say!
Put me where you want me, jujy54. I'm happy to start, or end, or go anywhere in the middle. I assume we post our replies here when we get the samples?
Hi, everyone. I've not forgotten this, just been really under the weather for nearly two weeks. I'll post the order of the sample pass tomorrow, decant this weekend.
I feel some mission creep coming on, as I have just acquired the storied Weil Secret de Venus Huile de Bain (bath oil). Not sure whether to add it to the three Weils plus Miss Balmain, or make it is own event. Thoughts?
What do insomniac perfumers do to fall asleep? They count chypres!
My two scents are that Huil de Bain would be better for another event. Only because not everyone is into baths. (I'm assuming that is how you'd test it, though perhaps I am mistaken here and it could be used as a scent just like perfume oil?)
- - - Updated - - -
So sorry to hear that you've been ill. Always so exhausting. Here's hoping you feel better in a flash!
I agree, danieq. While I'm at it, I've resolved to decant my samples BEFORE I announce a pass to reduce lag time. Amongst other things, I am a master procrastinator.
That said, here's the order of sniffing, and a good mix of new and experienced sniffer it is:
•bogsc sniffs first then sends to ScentFan
•ScentFan sends to kalli
•kalli sends to danieq
•danieq sends to matildaben
•matildaben sends to juanderer, and---
•juanderer sends to our ultimate sniffer, WhiteFluffy!
It's all packed and weighed, to be mailed today.
I'm sending along a letter; here's the gist of it:
There are three Weils, which I recommend sniffing in this order, which happens to be newest to oldest, oddly enough:
Antilope, Cassandra, and finally Zibeline.
Cassandra's smokiness reminded me of Miss Balmain, of which there are two samples, an 80s vintage from TWolf (thank you!) and some of uncertain vintage from moi. Sniff the Miss Bs; I will be interested as to whether or not you sense a connection to the Weils. Some days I do, and others I don't. If they share anything, I would say it is "stealth jasmine"; jasmine is present in all of them, but it lurks rather more than shines. I had never connected Miss Balmain at all to jasmine until it got mention on a jasmine thread.
Please pm your sender with contact info.

Wore Antilope from Jujy's sample this morning. According to Fragrantica...Antilope was introduced in 1946 as a floral aldehyde. Top notes are neroli, bergamot and aldehydes. Heart has clary sage, rose, lily of the valley, jasmine, carnation, iris and violet. Base notes include sandalwood, vetiver, patchouli, tonka, amber, oak moss and musk. I'm familiar with Antilope as I participated in a split of a bottle awhile ago. In fact, I was moved to grab my vintage PDT decant off the shelf tonight so I could spray extravagantly.
The 3 brothers who founded Weil apparently got their inspiration from fur and it's definitely apparent in the Weil perfumes I've been lucky enough to try. No matter how much you dab (this morning) or spray (tonight), Antilope hugs you close. It's often compared to Chanel #5 (no doubt because of the aldehydes), which I also enjoy. Antilope is a well blended perfume...no single note shouts out at me. Doesn't come off as flowery to me at all. A little herbal, yes, but not sharply so. Warm, fuzzy, comforting (like soft leather) is how I'd describe it, particularly once the base notes kick in (which happens pretty fast in the vintage versions I've tried). I think Antilope is perfect for this time of year. Buyer beware...I've heard the newer reformulated version is unrecognizable as Antilope.
My partner's (not a big perfume fan) immediate impression...baby powder and soft rose. She insisted that I was wearing different perfumes on my two arms and when I informed her that I had sprayed the same perfume from the same bottle on both arms, she told me that I obviously "broke the perfume" that was on my left arm cause she didn't like it nearly as much as the perfume on my right arm. Make of that what you will...

Antilope has one of my favorite drydowns; I call it "lotion-y".

Oh dear. Falling hard for Cassandra. Love this smoky, spicy beauty. I'm wearing Miss Balmain on other arm and I definitely see the similarities particularly in initial phases but turns out I prefer the dry down of Cassandra!
Was trying to find info on Cassandra and stumbled across this from The Vintage Perfume Vault..."Furriers by trade, perfumers by destiny. Since 1920 Alfred, Jacques and Marcel Weil enjoyed great success as designers practicing in the trade of fur at Les Fourrures Weil. Then in 1927 a wealthy client requested a perfume designed especially to sweeten fur without damaging it and Parfums Weil was born. The brothers hired talented nose Claude Fraysse to create the first Weil parfums. Fraysse had trained at Firmenich; he was considered to be the very top nose at Yardley, which was one of the largest commercial perfume houses at the time."
His daughter, Jacqueline Fraysse, created Cassandra, which was released in 1936, and it's reported that it took her two years to perfect the formula. Again, according to The Vintage Perfume Vault..."Jacqueline Fraysse...worked in a male dominated field at a time when most young women stayed home, or if they were adventurous, needy or otherwise inclined, worked in other people's homes. She came of age in the electrifying, emancipating atmosphere of 1920s Paris and New York - the Jazz Age. Yet she lived and worked under the watchful eyes of her perfumer father and brothers. Judging from the quality and success of the perfumes, she flourished even throughout the difficult years of depression and war that followed."
I love that I'm wearing a perfume created by a female "nose" back in the 20s/30s.
According to Perfumed Court, the notes for Cassandra are "anise like... a hint of stryax, fruits and florals." As I've found with all the Weil perfumes I've experienced to date, the perfume notes in Cassandra are beautifully blended and the perfume hugs close rather than creating a trail behind you.
I'm loving Cassandra myself. Wish I could have scored the extrait or the EdT, but this EdC is tenacious!

ScentFan, based on your Caron experience, I believe you will enjoy exploring these three scents from one house—figuring out what makes Weil Weil, as well finding the Miss Bamain connection, if you indeed perceive one.

Scentfan, Perfume samples in the mail to you today. Will post about Zibeline when I have a bit more time. Enjoy! Carolyn
Thanks, Carolyn. Think I have a sample if Miss Balmain here, juju54. Will locate it.
Hi, SF, there are two Miss Balmain samples in the pass-around, one from me and some reliably identified vintage from TWolf.
What do insomniac perfumers do to fall asleep? They count chypres!
Wearing Zibeline to a wedding party today. (I have a small sample which I'm hoarding while I try to get my hands on a bottle.) Thought it would be perfect scent to wear in the midst of the snowstorm we're having in NYC. According to Fragrantica...Zibeline was launched in 1928. Top notes are aldehydes, coriander, tarragon, bergamot and lemon; middle notes are iris, gardenia, jasmine, ylang-ylang, lily-of-the-valley and rose; base notes are honey, sandalwood, tonka bean, amber, musk, civet and vetiver. Love the spices in the top notes. Adore the flowers in the middle. The dry down is just breathtaking. I've seen this one compared with Bal a Versailles, another favorite of mine. Have to wear them both side by side one of these days to compare.
Adore these perfumes first created during the roaring 20's.
Thanks to Jujy for turning me on to them in the first place!!!
The Weil's arrived! Thanks, bogsc. Will unpack and start sniffing tonight or tomorrow morning. Kalli, if you'll PM your address, I'll get it to you as soon as I'm done.

Per instructions, I'm doing a swift initial sniff through the Weils on paper in reverse order of their creation: Antilope, Cassandra, Zibeline. Then I'll wear them and report.
Antilope. Gorgeous! What did they put in these vintage perfumes that they don't use anymore? I'm smelling citrus, maybe orange, perhaps bergamot, jasmine, rose and other fabulous stuff, probably sandalwood and perhaps musk. It must be jasmine that creates that deep intoxication, but I'm not yet sure of my flowers, so it could be something else. Nothing bothers my nose which, to me, is beginning to signal: no chemicals. When was this created? 1945, the year WWII ended and people started living again. One of the most horrendous acts in human history had just occurred, the bombing of Nagaski and Hiroshima. To me, this lovely perfume created that year is evidence of our dual nature -- we humans are equally capable of unspeakable destruction and inexpressible beauty like this. Looking up the notes, I see this is a chypre, a genre I do like. No jasmine, just ylang ylang, apparently. The citrus is tangerine and neroli. Wait, Fragrantica says the citrus is bergamot and neroli. Score one for my nose. It says it has jasmine and rose, that's two for the nose. The base has a combo I find I always like: sandalwood, patchouli, oakmoss, musk. Amber, tonka and vetiver are in there, too. No wonder I think it's great. The longer I sniff, though, the aldehydes make it a tiny tad suffocating for me, persnickety nose that I have. Sniffing more, I don't want to wear it for that reason. No mistake that it's a classic.
Cassandra. Made by the daughter Jacqueline in 1936. This is a lighter, less indolic perfume that seems to contain woods or things my nose is too new to identify. However, I'd bet money there's jasmine among the florals. It's nice, bright, but doesn't compel me to add the word, gorgeous. It contains a spicy or resinous note I don't completely love. Switching back and forth between the papers, Antilope is more my kind of scent. It's more voluptuous.
Where went the coffee beans? Okay, found them. Wonder if they really work?
Zibeline. Love, love the richly sweet top note and how my nose is overcome by the florals. It's so potent, I'm not sure I could tolerate it for long, though. I like whatever's in the base. Is this another chypre? Almost. I've got a bag full of them waiting to sniff. Fragrantica doesn't say it has oakmoss in the base or any labdanum, so it's not a full chypre. Fragrantica calls it a floral aldehyde. But for the aldehydes it's really beautiful.
Holding all three papers, Antilope and Zibeline are by far my favorites. Stopping because of O.F. Not sure I can wear these, but tomorrow I'll try. Oh, the Miss Balmains. Forgot why we're comparing them, but here goes:
Miss Balmain from Twolf. To me, this is closest to Cassandra, but I need to resume tomorrow because I can't smell anything anymore.
SF, Antilope's drydown may be my favorite in my collection, and I think clary sage may be part of the allure. I experience the aldehydes as anisic tho not overwhelmingly so. Antilope has had several iterations, thus the variations in reported notes. I once read it described as an aldehydic floral chypre, which could suggest an indecisive mess, tho in this case it simply means many, many notes well blended with a most satisfying progression.
Oh, but your connecting Antilope to 1945 and the end of the war is so touching and apt! It slightly antedates Miss Dior and the New Look, with which it shares a certain (more chaste) vibe, perhaps a return to femininity celebrated after years of austerity and angst.
On to Zibeline, the first "fur" perfume and from the Roaring 20s. It can be overwhelming, as it was meant to disguise the mustiness of furs; I actually do spray it on my mom's mink and like it best thus worn.
In between, Cassandra, from 1935, before the Weils, a Jewish family, were forced to flee Vichy France in 1939. A little butch, and all the more interesting for being the scent of a woman—to borrow a phrase!—inasmuch as it was made by a woman for women, as is Miss Balmain. I'm wild about it. You may find over time, those indolic notes will get to you. I can send you more if you'd like to do some extended sniffing.
Here is a brief summary of the history of Weil from Perfume shrine.
Re: the Miss Balmains: I would suggest sniffing them relative to Cassandra, that should be more than enough.
Lastly, do you sense a common thread amongst the Weils?
Thank you for a splendid summary.
What do insomniac perfumers do to fall asleep? They count chypres!
Agree with the trio. I think civet is featured, too. btw, if you decided to pursue Antilope on ebay, send me links, and I'll vet them for you. Avoid the tall hexagonal bottle, it is a modern EdC that is insipid and bears no resemblnace. Any circular label with a wreath of leaves is desirable vintage.

Hi, jujy54 and all. Fyi, the Weil samples are on their way today to Kalli. Thanks for including me. I enjoyed it.
Thanks SF.
Received, along with some other samples that I am sniffing atm.
Thanks a lot!
Just landed another Jacqueline Fraysse—Weil Noir! A true rarity, it is badass in the Germaine Cellier mode. 1937. I'm getting tuberose, old sneaker and VapoRub, plus resin and ashtray, all in a good way! Love it!
What do insomniac perfumers do to fall asleep? They count chypres!
Old sneaker, Vaporub and ashtray? That's interesting! Kinda gets my attention a bit.
Noir's not in the pass, kalli, tho I might have to send a smidge around to a few sniffers. That mentholated blast which ushers in tuberose reminds me of SL Tubereuse Criminelle.

Well, I gotta say I know nothing about this line. Just put some Ant on..it's very nice, smooth, classic, rosy, animalic, powdery, rooty.. reminds me of Chanel No. 5 EDC. but more oakmoss, a bit more masculine than Chanel No. 5. Very nice, such a classic. I thought I got civet in this? I smell rose and iris the most out of the florals. The mossy, vintage ones do seem to bother my sinuses, at times..so I can't seem to sniff them too much..bummer, I know. I do dig oakmoss. This is heavy on the oakmoss, more so than No. 5. This one does speak luxury for sure. It's all luxury. Such a wonderful, powdery, aldehyde perfume. Seems to stay close to the skin. Strong though! They don't make them like this anymore! Move aside Taylor Swift! lol.
Miss Balmain Vtg..Oakmoss is so strong for me in these vintages, it's hard to get past..another powerhouse! So strong, dang. Ok, I get more amber in this one, a bit brighter florals..a bit sharp. I get a lemony citrus that make the perfume sparkle up..I like how the lemon, 'cleans up' ..or should I say, 'brightens up' the animalic, oakmoss-y elements to this. Very interesting. Rosy..an animalic, citrus-y rose. I like this one more than the Ant..just for the sparkly, lemon rose. The juice fades quickly on my skin...becomes powdery, a bit amber-y..did I mention I like the rose in this? Animalic floral, that sparkles a bit..then turns powdery and woody. Another floral..jasmine? Iris? Another I probably shouldn't sniff too much but the florals in this one are very nice. The woods are very nice..like old, porous wood, earthy and a bit dark. Becomes dry and musty on the dry down. It's has such a feminine side but also a more serious, darker side. Kinda like Mitsouko does in a way. Impressed!
Cassandra...ooooooh oh.. nice! Haven't smelled anything like this before. Floral, almost nutty? It was almost like a praline but not quite. A bit sweet but smooth. I get a rose slightly sweetened with the lightest dust of powdered sugar...becomes very powdery. These dry perfumes just seem to puff away from my skin. This fume gets quite musky quickly..the musk nearly or probably kills it for me..but I soooo like the opening! Idk it's more powdery than musky though..even though the musk is there. I think everyone should sniff this one. I smell something like this, then I think of modern, department store fumes and I am like..what happened? Not that all are bad, I like several..it's just..I wish these type of perfumes were on the counters sometimes, ya know? I don't know..I would think about a decant of this. Where did you find this perfume, Jujy?
Some reviews say that Cass is like No.5. I don't see much in common with that scent actually.

good morning, kalli! Great sniffing! Thanks for pointing out the rose. As I mentioned earlier, I believe "stealth jasmine" is a also unifying note in this pass. "Nutty" is an apt description of that ineffable je-ne-sais-quoi in Cassandra, which, no, does not resemble N° 5 at all.
I got a gift of Weil de Weil from a friend's mother back in the early 80s, dropped the bottle, alas, but never forgot how great it smelled. Forward several decades, I discover basenotes and ebay. My Weil collection is all ebay acquisitions. This led me to vintage in general, and I can think of few contemporary fragrances that get to me in the same way. I would say Serge Lutens is most consistently as engaging as vintage to my nose.
Amongst the Weils, Weil de Weil, Zibeline, Antilope, and the Secret de Venus are the most easily found. Cassandra and Noir are very rare, as is Cobra. Perfume Intelligence has the most comprehensive listing of Weil, right here http://perfumeintelligence.co.uk/lib.../w/w7/w7p1.htm. Here's a picture of my collection so you know what vintage looks like. Avoid anything in a tall hexagonal bottle.

Such a nice collection, Jujy. I know you have liked this line, I think there was another pass before..but admittedly, I didn't read much of it! Thanks for that link, haven't seen that site before. So later formulations came in the tall, hexagonal bottle?
I did the previous sample pass, http://www.basenotes.net/threads/305153-Sample-pass-Weil-Then-and-Now, which includes a bit more history of the house. I also broke out old/new Weils, as the title implies. The hex bottles are EdCs, I bought one in a store in the early aughts, and it was weak, hairspray smelling stuff. In the photo for this thread, only Weil Pour Homme is contemporary, and its a decent old-school fougere. The rest are roughly 50s to 80s vintage.
So glad you took to Antilope. It is a go-to for me. Yes, indeed, civet. Vintage Weil is never without the animal. I see Antilope as a springtime fragrance, and will probably go more to Cassandra, Noir, and Zibeline in the winter.

Thanks for that link, I'll have to ck it out. Weak hairspray is one thing I try to stay away from, thanks for the info..
Zibeline, more masculine than the Ant and Cassandra, getting strong iris, some rose and patchouli? If patch, it's just a smidge, not sure about patch though. Another powdery one. It's similar to Antilope..but more about the powder, less about the moss. This one is more civet-y than the Anti, therefore it reminds me more of No.5 EDC. But it's more iris-y a bit more masculine. It's very nice, a bit soapy. Woods strong but smooth, classic & velvet-y scent. Gets a bit more feminine on the dry down..but has a masculine, animalic edge to it. Rich florals with a bit of amber and musk. This one I like, but a bit more masculine than I'd prefer...does get a very nice, sweet amber note after a while, almost smells like root beer. I do like that! Then gets a bit soapy, so, so powdery. As it dries down more, I see less in common with No. 5. It's very unique and of course, classic. I prefer Antilope over this one though.
Miss Balmain(more modern juice?). Reminds me of Magie Noire(modern formulation). It's a bit flat and is missing that lemon-y sparkle I found in the vintage. The notes aren't as rounded and pronounced. Just oakmoss, with a flat rose. Powdery, masculine. Vetiver and moss makes this one very powdery. If one has Magie Noire(modern)..I wouldn't bother with this or vice versa. While this juice doesn't make my sinuses as irritated..I prefer the scent of the vintage juice. It's like 1/3 of what the vintage is. And the oakmoss..smells more chemical. Where are those florals? Where's that lemon? Where is the leather? Such an interesting change from the vintage...I don't like it much, the rooty vetiver is still nice though. It's just missing quite a bit from the vintage.
Thanks Jujy & Twolf for this powder puff-palooza!
Guess these will be going out to Danieq soon.
Thanks again!

Sent to Danieq.
I've received my packet and begun the sniff. I've forgotten what most of you wrote about your experiences so perhaps that is good. I am wondering now, are these vintage samples or modern?
This morning, I'm wearing Antilope and sniffing regularly. Here is my impression of the first hour of wear before having looked at the notes.
The opening is quite sweet, alongside of aldehydes and a spiciness. As it develops more, it feels buttery yellow, the picture I got was of yellow flowers, something like daffodils, not necessarily the scent, but the look of them, waving in the wind gently. This feels like a gentle scent from another era. It has a creamy character which is strong, yet unintrusive. This doesn't feel like a projection monster, but if you were to hug the woman wearing it, you'd be comforted by her scent. She's sophisticated, but not uppity. She's a down to earth woman of class and substance. This reminds me a lot of Chanel No 5, but with a softer touch. Wearing this, I feel very feminine.
I'm really not any good at specific notes, so I think I'll leave that to those in the know and just give my impressions of how it wears. Hope that is ok.
ETA: I'd definitely wear this fragrance if I had it, though I'm not sure if I love it enough to go out and find it. I do like that it's different from anything else I have. The drydown ended up being such a sweet floral that it was hard to resist sniffing again and again.

These are vintage samples, danieq. The Antilope and Cassandra are pre: UPC codes in the packages, and the Zibeline bottle design resembles a Weil I had new in the early 80s. Impressions are just as important as notes, and I enjoyed you observations. I will be interested in how you connect Antiope, Cassandra and Zibeline, and then whether you sense a connection between the Miss Balmain samples and Cassandra. Mostly, just enjoy. Weil of old had a way with animalics; I have yet to smell its particular qualities in anything modern.
What do insomniac perfumers do to fall asleep? They count chypres!
Cassandra -- Opening reads very animalic, a bit of leather perhaps. I see White Tiger Skin, but not quite a urine note. The opening has b*&%h written all over it to my nose, from the 80's! And there is something that makes me think cellophane dancing about in there. As it continues, I feel like I'm in the woods, the scent reminds me of spent flower hulls, dried and blowing in the wind. It's crackly, if that makes any sense. It says I need to sit up and take notice. This strikes me as a power scent, NOT the girl next door. I can see this being worn by a savvy business woman in a suit making things happen in the skyscrapers of Manhattan. I think a man could wear this scent as well, it's not overtly feminine, but would take on the character of the wearer. This has a solvent, resinous feel to it. I have to say it smells very familiar in a certain way, but I can't quite place how. Ultimately, it feels like chemicals to me. Not something I'd wear, but it is interesting.
Thanks for the reminder about vintages Jujy54!
So glad you got your package, danieq. Thanks for your impressions.
danieq, speaking of the "b-word", that must be the link I find to my version of Miss Balmain, which I summed up as the epitome of the old saw "nice girls go to Heaven; bad girls go everywhere!"; I find Miss B by turns ladylike and badass. Miss B and Cassandra are both the work of female perfumers, Germaine Cellier and Jacqueline Fraysse, respectively. Cassandra precedes Cellier's work by nearly a decade.

Jujy, would you be willing to post a photo of the Weil's this we are testing? Oh, and where did you find the little vials. I haven't come across these before. So cute.... .... and effective!

cool stuff, i like the first post with the character ideation sketches. I haven't seen the DVD, but those look really cool. I'd just say to watch proportions, and keep practicing/studying. Be very aware of what you are drawing. Also, pay as much attention to the head and face as the rest of the body, in terms of placement and proportion. Nice work so far, I'd like to see more. And happy first post!

Hi, nice start man. Your proportions are still off (definitely in the females). Also try to improve your linework: try to describe volumes with your lines. Make them thicker in the foreground and thinner as they go away etc. Keep going!

Your ideas are looking great but as you know proportions are off. I don't know how much preliminary sketching you're doing but it definitely helps to draw the simplified skeleton first - make sure its in balance and the proportions and angles match up - then draw muscles over it. It looks to me like you're doing that but maybe rushing it. Anyway, keep up the hard work, you're making progress!
September 3rd, 2007 #16
great stuuf,man but your proportions really need work.
your torso seems to get very narrow around the waist in alot of them.

great ideals though,and keep it up

studies are looking better.
a word on hogarth studies. He tends to make his anatomy very 'bubbly'
If you're going to study anatomy from drawings, I'd suggest really switching up your source material so you can get a wide range of information, and choose who does what things best. Hogarth usually has really good information on organic form. beware of symmetrical curves ( ) <-like that. they generally don't happen in organic forms in real life.
loomis and bridgeman aand villpu other popular artists with 'blah blah how to draw human figure books' and they all have good information and individual shortcomings.
Although it is good to study how other people are seeing things, It's also important to see for yourself.
don't be afraid to spend lots of time on your studies, and finish them (don't balk out on the feet!)
something else I'm noticing, is you're squishing information onto the page. Don't squish, just draw off the page and learn how to size it properly next time.

About Subscription Links
Subscription Links are defined as links to resources in LexisNexis Academic that are only available to users at subscribing institutions.
Example of a Subscriber Link to search in the New York Times: http://www.lexisnexis.com/hottopics/lnacademic?verb=sr&csi=6742
If you are working on campus at a subscribing institution, all of the Subscription Links presented in the Knowledge Center should (probably) work seamlessly. If you see a LexisNexis login page, this means your user authentication has failed. You should consult your librarian to be sure that your institution subscribes to LexisNexis Academic and learn the proper method for accessing it. Librarians should report access problems to our Academic Support team.
If you are working from off campus, you will need to log in to your school's library portal before you can access LexisNexis (or any other ) subscription databases. To use the subscription links from off campus, it may be necessary to open LexisNexis Academic from your library portal and keep it open in a separate browser window before you click on Subscription Links.
For more information and directions on building your own Subscriber Links, see the article on the LexisNexis Academic URL API Specification
