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

L'Interdit (new), again. Lately my perfume wearing has been increasingly monomaniac. When I get into one, I wear it for days on end. Quite a nice way to get to know a fragrance and its behaviour actually. I've discovered new nuances to this one.
Meanwhile, at work, I am completely in love with tobacco absolute and have to do something with it, somehow.
My SOTD is Giorgio Beverly Hills for Men.
Top Notes: Orange, Carnation, Cinnamon
Middle Notes: Patchouli, Amber, Vanilla
Base Notes: Benzoin, Honey, Moss

But once you get locked into a serious perfume collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.
I had the most marvelous weekend but the highlight was Sunday and the Neil Morris pop-up store in Boston.
The day started by meeting up with my Boston group for an Indian brunch. ComDiva, Brielle87, chayaruchama, and special guests debbbora and Leah from New York who spent the weekend in the lovely embrace of chaya were there.
Brunch was what it should be passionate perfumistas pontificating on personal preferences in perfumery. A lot of alliteration for a Monday, I know.
I love my Boston peeps but meeting debbora and Leah for the first time was a lovely treat.
Soon we finished eating and we headed into town for the reason we had all gotten together.
Neil Morris had all of his Vault fragrances out to be sniffed and the opportunity to finally say I've sniffed all of his catalog was perfect, for me.
I found two that worked amazingly on me; Spectral Violet and Dark Season.
The personal piece de resistance was Neil calling some of us over to premiere a new one. In the intro he mentioned that it was inspired by one of us and then he said because of my love of his use of narcissus in my favorites in his line he had created Patchouli Narcisse. I was floored but then I was swooning as this one was made for me because well I guess it was made for me.
Once again the narcissus sings on my skin but there is a black tea and dark fig to go with the narcissus that really make this awesome on my skin. Incredible afternoon of sniffing surrounded by my friends. The Holidays just don't get better.
Back to work today in something I just felt like wearing this morning.
Le Labo Rose 31
Cumin is one of the most controversial notes used in perfume. Some people find it reminds them of sweat and it turns them off immediately. I am in the spice loving camp and because I grew up around Cubans, who use cumin liberally in their style of cooking, I have a different olfactory relationship with cumin.
The 2006 release by Daphne Bugey for Le Labo, Rose 31 is one of my favorite cumin fragrances. If you're wondering why a fragrance named Rose 31 is a cumin fragrance, welcome to the rabbit hole that is Le Labo where the titular note is not always the most dominant note and in this case is just one of 31 ingredients. Mme. Bugey has created a spicy incense laden fragrance that just happens to have some rose in it.
The top of Rose 31 begins with that cumin note right out in front and it is rich and gorgeous. Mme. Bugey chooses to flank the dirty cumin with two of the cleaner wood notes available to aperfumer of cedar and guaiac. I feel this has the effect of keeping the cumin more balanced and less likely to remind one of sweat and more likely to keep it on the spice side of things. Of course that expereince will be different for everyone. Incense joins the cumin and woods to make the top of Rose 31 a beautiful beginning to my nose. The heart opens with the green rose aspect of cistus before the full spicy rose accord begins to predominate. Just as the rose begins to feel safe Mme. Bugey takes another sharp turn as a very medicinal oud appears followed by vetiver and musk. Just as in the top the flanking notes keep the oud from getting to be too much and dominating the final phase of development.
Rose 31 has excellent longevity and sillage on me.
Rose 31 is probably Le Labo's most complete fragrance and all 31 ingredients add up to one spectacular experience.
Have a Magnificent Monday everyone.

Second day wearing Havana Vanille,
Happy Birthday wishes going out to Scentsibility
Only one week from today, my little family of four will be having fun in the sun, vacationing in Florida, Key West & Cozumel! I can hardly wait! I've got some recreational reading prepared as well, "Jitterbug Perfume" rec. by Sloan, "The Perfect Scent" rec. by SMM, and "The Gospel According to Chanel" - my own pick!
Am eagerly anticipating the arrival of Havana Vanille upon the doorsteps of some fellow basenoters...fingers crossed!
Happy Birthday, Scentsibility !
Good morning, SMM !
The Patchouli Narcisse was indeed a glorious surprise, and smelled luscious on your skin ;-)
Neil and David had a very good turnout, and the format they came up with was excellent.
SMM is being modest...
We had the most amazing time together, all of us !
I hadn't seen Brielle or Com.Diva in the longest time; but it felt as if no time had elapsed.
I just love sharing food and seeing everyone enjoy themselves...SIGH.
Josephine also showed up- easily the most elegant female I've ever seen.
Pomander- we missed you !
[ Jarvis bumped into us in Harvard Sq. the eve before, and then again at Neil's event.
God, how I love that man. ]
I wore Feminite de Bois vintage parfum yesterday, and AL Cafe Noir to bed.
I think I'll repeat the Cafe Noir !
I don't think I'll ever forget this w/e.
It was SO full of love and good will.
Like a little dog awaiting the beloved's key in the lock, I was so eager for my guests to arrive !
Nothing made me happier, than to see them eat, wake up in the fuzzy pj's I'd folded on their bunkbeds...
All of us under the comforter, drinking my B's good coffee.
Onward and upward, my friends.
All who ail- be healed.

Happy birthday, Scentsibility!
Chaya and SMM - thanks for the recaps! I'm sure a fabulous time was had by all. Photos, please!
Sotd is Habit Rouge. It's been a long time since I last wore this and it's even better than I remember.
Wishing all a good start to the week!
"I felt something so intense, I could only express it in a perfume." - Jacques Guerlain
Sounds like you guys had a great weekend, and SMM now has his own signature scent!
Frapin 1270 for me today.
Today I'm in Yardley English Rose.
I had forgotten how much I like this-- I really must wear it more often!
Roberto - that Bach was the PURRfect way to start my day!! Many many thanks....
And 3XAsIf that pic is fab - especially with your description of the frag it references....
And didn't the Boston contingent have a great w/e??!! Fortunately am spiritually correct and free of envy this ayem Sort of. And congrats to SMM on his signature 'fume. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving BNer!! Thanks to you all for the sharing.
I'm starting the day in the generous sample of Yohji Yamamoto Essential ... (many thanks to Carlita for this)
The nose is Jean-Michel Duriez - who has done several Patous, including one of my faves - Sira des Indes. Essential is a rose chypre over subtle musk with a hint of skank that speaks of cumin...a simmering beauty with depth and staying power.
"The world is ruled by letting things take their course. It cannot be ruled by interfering." Lao Tze
Roberto, Bach's cello suites are among my favorite music in the world... thank you so much for sharing!
Lemming SMM and Chaya!!! It was such a glorious Sunday! Debborah and Leah are both absolute delights - How lucky are we, to know (and meet) such generous-spirited people? But then, they came to us courtesy of Chayaruchama, so how could they be otherwise?
Marvelous also to see Jarvis and Josephine, however briefly... And SMM (and Neil Morris by extension) is/are being modest about Patchouli Narcisse - smelled unbelieveable on its inspiration, and really good, albeit very different, on the rest of us as well! (doing a little happy dance and setting off my silly light-up shoes...)
Y'know, I don't think we broke out a single cell phone or camera. Sorry, guys!
Right. SoTD. First full wearing of Six Scents No. 5, the only one of the original six to really perk my nose up. I find No. 5 to be a comforting and reasonably interesting spicy rose. It opens fairly quickly on my skin, and I'm enjoying the interplay of the sparkly of aldehydes and pepper with the creamy rose and musk. This is a very nice cold-weather rose!
No. 5 notes: Bergamot, Aldehydic, Pepper, Nutmeg, Rose, Benzoin, Olibanum, Cedarwood, Musk.
Its thought that people who hope too much will just waste their life away and never get down to doing any real work. Theyre confusing Hope with Wish, its lazy cousin...

Still sick from the flu, wore Smiley fragrance.
Love that photo, 3xasif, We've had a bit of weather like that lately. I love it! People complain about our winters, but I'd take a year of cold and clear over a month of hot and muggy!
This thread is a thing of beauty this morning...I've been reading and imagining your beautiful scents with Roberto's musical video clip playing in the background. I have to say that that gorgeous cello piece has me wishing I'd worn L'Heure Bleue today, it just seems to fit the same mood to me....
But, as I am wearing a bulky cashmere cable sweater in vivid spring green today, I had to go with Vent Vert (1947 version).

Roberto, I fear you've set a new standard in excellence! Dare we beg you to post music to accompany a BNer's daily reading of SotD on at least a semi-regular basis? I love the notion that music and mood accessorize this reading experience. Thank you over and over.
Oh, that Boston group, flaunting their attractiveness. How you do seduce us with your friendliness. I will try to emulate Tao and not envy debborah and Leah. I do pity Pomander though—so close and yet so far?
Coconut, I'm sorry to hear you're STILL suffering.
Coconut … I'm wearing, in the form of Chopard Casmir. I wish I could mix the parts I like best about Cadjmere and Casmir. Cadjmere's topnotes are amazing and interesting, its heart notes confuse me, but the drydown's divine. Casmir is too sweet and foody upfront, but also has an amazing drydown.

SMM et al, living vicariously through your group meet report. Carry on!
Lian, I am a true fan of 1804. Only wish that top note would last for hours...
Chaya, Cafe Noir has always seemed very interesting to me, probably because of the coffee. I am hoping Serena gets back into full business again, so I can order me some, along with Beach.
I am luxuriating again in Back to Black by Kilian. Geez I love this stuff!

I'm in Borneo 1834 and reveling in patchouli/cocoa powder. Whee! I tried Theorema again recently and it was a lot better than I'd remembered. I think I may just be maturing. Either that or my hormones are on the fritz and it's warped my nose (hey- it happened when I was pregnant, so it makes sense to me). (No, don't get excited - no chance of more baby birds since they took me in and 'fixed me' this summer.)
We have a massive spike of freezing weather from Russia zapping us here in Middle Europe and the thermometer is not predicted to ever rise above zero this week. Snow is forecast for the weekend. SQUEEEEEEE!!!!!! I love the cold! WAY better than being hot and sticky. Finally, my chance to wear some of my Enormous Jumper Stash.
Hugs to all.

Hello everyone, and thanks for making this thread such a feast for the senses!
I'm in L'Arte di Gucci....a gorgeous, passionate and discontinued floral (rose) chypre, this one from the early 90s. I've had the same big bottle since its release, but I very recently was able to back-up my supply so I can actually fearlessly and lavishly enjoy it again, and that's what I'm doing!
You all have a great week!

I was Truly Pink today.
Mapping the memory one scent at a time
Patchouli Narcisse sounds FABULOUS--two of my favorite notes in one place! It goes on my test list pronto
SotD was Dior Homme and SotN is Helmut Lang EDP. I also own HL in parfum, and after wearing the parfum as SotN fairly frequently in the last few weeks, I find that the EDP seems much more angular in comparison. As a result, the parfum seems more intimate and quiet, the EDP seems more energizing.
Yesterday evening, I managed to step on and destroy my sample of Serge Lutens Un Bios Vanille. In cleaning it up, I managed to smear enough on myself to count as an evening wearing, so I guess it goes here...
Today for work, I wore the Serge Lutens version of Feminite du Bois...
...followed by an evening in Santal Blanc.
Oh, and consider me jealous of the nice off-computer friendship you Boston folks have, and Happy Birthday to Scentsitivity!

Has everyone checked out my Top 100 Blog??
Ah, hello darlings
Once again i am bringing up the rear, so to speak. Always the last to the daily part, so it seems.
I will just elaborate on all the wonderful things shared by my fellow Bostonian BNers. Yesterday was a small glimmer of heaven on earth. The joy of Indian buffet on a sunday morning with such dear friends and two fabulous new ones, Deborah and Leah, is hard to top. But let me tell you the conversation was so fabulous and stimulating that we could have been eating McDonalds "Big Breakfast" and it would have felt heavenly.
Seeing Chaya was wonderful beyond words, because even though we live less than 15 minutes away, by car, from one another, the craziness of life keeps us from seeing each other as often as we would like. She truly is the personification of all things warm, fuzzy, cozy and loving in this world. Bless her dear soul always.
Of course ComDiva is like having the spirit of parties past and present and future roll in all at the same time; she is so full of life, joy, excitement and just a feel great person, well...to know her is truly to love her. Just make sure to fasten your seat-belt when she arrives.
SMM is as always the jolliest and warmest snuggle-bunny to grace the earth and such a treat to spend time with, well it is always sad when it comes to a close. He really has such an exuberance and gusto it is hard to compare to anyone, or anything else.
Leah was such a lovely, wonderful, witty, joy of a woman to meet, well i can hardly wait to spend time with her again.
Deborah is truly a peaceful and tranquil, yet quite funny, soul that i could not help but enjoy watching her try on scent; when it really worked for her, you could tell she went to her Zen place. I am so looking forward to sharing another afternoon with her, hopefully soon.
Now as for Neil and David, well i could just sandwich snuggle with those two all day long and talk shop, and of course sniff till i found Nirvana; they both always smell sooooo delicious and make me feel so well loved. I have known Neil for many years and he is just the most wonderfully delicious huggable bear in the world, i'm a tall gal and he makes me feel like a little pixie being enveloped in the embrace of a fragrant wood. I just adore him as a person and as an artist i am always in utter awe of his creativity.
Now as was mentioned, the fragrance that was inspired by SMM is a treasure to experience. It literally made my eyes roll back in a swoon that was palpable. The Patchouli Narcisse is "the" creation of this year. Guerlain be damned with the muck you present us. I came home in a cloud of Neil's newest potion and even hubby and mam started to swoon. Not to mention that i started the day in Takashimaya, and doused myself with: Le Parfum d'Odette, Zephyr, Le Parfum d'Ida, Moulin Rouge (mama wants this one very badly now) and a bit of Le Parfum C'est ma Vie and drop of Vanille Rosé. So as you can see, i (who am the vintage lover extraordinaire) am so enamored of Neil's fragrances cannot begin to tell you how much i adored having them all in one place at one time. Now, truth be told, i do not love all of his scents wholeheartedly, his Café is not my cup of tea, do you like the pun. Bu that is only because i am not a coffee lover. I will say though, if coffee could taste as pleasant as the scent smells, well maybe i would become a coffee lover.
Hope i have not rambled too much.
Last night's scent was Prowl by Neil, a masterpiece of our times
Today's scent was a gift from a sweet Channukah Angel and it was Rêve Indien by Fragonard. It is one of my favorites, so i was clicking my heals all day.
Tonight i am in another gift from a sweet BNer, it is the new Francis Kirkdjian Cologne pour le Soir and it is "FABULOUS". It is so soothing and so relaxing...well it lives up to its name.
I have droned on enough now, love and hugs to all and HUGE thanks to all my darlings who i spent one of my best days with (in ages) yesterday. mwah!!

Kate Gosselin needs to send Ryan Seacrest a Thank You note.
On his KIIS-FM radio show Wednesday morning, Ryan went to the top to find out if execs would ever consider having the mom of eight as the next Bachelorette, and RadarOnline.com has the details.
The creator of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette franchises, Mike Fleiss, told Ryan, "I guess it's kinda interesting. I've never thought about it." He says he's never even spoken to the reality star—but then he gave it some thought, "Seriously, It would have to be a special edition of the Bachelorettte—I wouldn't want to jump the shark."
PHOTOS: Jon Gosselin Tours Los Angeles With Reality Show Producer
Ryan then got ABC President Steve McPherson on the phone, who said "that could be great!" He went on to say "she was great on Dancing (With The Stars)."
PHOTOS: Kate Gosselin And Her Kids Filming Kate Plus 8
The top exec turned the tables on Ryan and made him an offer, "I would like to officially extend an invitation for you Ryan to be the next Bachelor."

Ryan was coy with McPherson, but later told his sidekick Ellen K, "I don't have the time…I have a contract with Fox."

General Tips
For the most part in the adventure mode and survival mode will have to start by getting two rows of sunflowers as quickly as possible, in the back of your lawn
While you are trying to get their sunflowers, try to build only the plants that are needed immediately. As a blowgun only in a lane where a zombie is approching.
Once you have your sunflowers up, start focusing on their defenses. You will need to use different strategies depending on what level you are.
Try to keep at least one type of pump plant in your inventory at each level in case things go wrong.
If there is a lull in zombies use the break to dig up and replace badly damaged in the wall nuts or dried fruits high.
It may be worthwhile in later levels to bring the coffee beans with mushrooms and a magnet in the battles during the day. to help deal with metal weilding zombies.
If you shoot a pea through Torchwood then nullifies the effect of freezing.

Here are my current string rankings based mostly on playability for me. These rankings do take into account durability and consider tension maintenance as secondary factors. The majority of the strings were put in my Babolat Pure Storm Tour Plus (non GT) with a leather grip and two strips 3 inches long of 1/4 lead tape at 10 and 2. I switched sticks in the summer of 2011, so items with an "A" after the number were tested in a Pro Kennex 7G with no modifications except head tape. In October of 2012, I switched to the Prince Exo3 Tour [16 x 18] with no modifications. Those reviews will be marked with a "B". I play with heavy spin on most shots at a 4.5-5.0 level and 95% of my matches are on Har-Tru. Note: strings below the dashed line just did not work for me at all for one reason or another. If I forgot to go back and update the tension maintenance, that means it held until breakage. Tension loss readings from RacquetTune provided are the last one measured.
TTW user KCraig and I have fairly similar string tastes, so strings that he has tried and not liked I'll be skipping. These include Dunlop Comfort Synthetic and Prince Synthetic Gut Multifilament. I hit with Dunlop Silk for a few minutes and as others have reported, it plays rather stiff. WeissCannon Xplosiv is very similar to Mantis Comfort Synthetic so I'll skip this one as well but I have used it as a cross.
Top 3 comfort multis for me:
1. Mantis Comfort Synthetic 16 (Pro's Pro Hi Tec Multifibre seems like the same string to me)
2. Babolat Xcel 16
3. Pro Supex Maxim Touch 17
Top 3 spin multis for me:
1. Head RIP Control 16
2. Dunlop Hexy Fiber 16
3. Tecnifibre X1 Biphase 16
Top 3 power multis for me:
1. Pro Supex Maxim Touch 17
2. Tecnifibre X1 Biphase 16
3. WeissCANNON "The Big Fantum" 16
Top 3 durable multis for me:
1. Head RIP Control 16 (I did not play until breakage but it looked barely used after several hours)
2. Discho Microfibre 16 (I think Signum Pro Micronite is the same string)
3. Prince Premiere Attack 16 (Now named Prince Premiere Control)
And the multifilament that plays closest to natural gut for me...Tecnifibre X1 Biphase 16
Below are some reviews for prototype strings. All were bad:

A review written in my format by djNEiGht of Tecnifibre TGV 17: http://tt.tennis-warehouse.com/showp...postcount=5689
Reserved for Isospeed Control 16 Review...
I pulled this string out for half of my warmup and then put it back. After going down 4-0, I figured what the heck, let's try something different. It felt a little bit stiff for the first few minutes of hitting, but then it was very comfortable. The power level was a little lower than my current setup. For those that care about string movement, it does not move very much. I did not notice any notching after 11 games and 10 minutes of hitting. Spin creation seemed about average. All in all, this seems like a pretty good string. Nothing really floored me though. I'll report back if I have anything new to add and on the durability I get.
I ended up cutting this string out after 4 sets to try the Head RIP Control 16. There was minor notching at this point but the string looked like it had plenty of life left on it. TW offers this for $10.99 per set.

OK, here is my review in the TW format of the Mantis Comfort Synthetic 16 or the Pro's Pro Hi Tec Multifibre. I can't tell the difference between these 2 strings. I'll will call it MCS since most people are familiar with that.
It is very easy to string if you don't have too get through blocked holes. If you do, it can be tough because the string is so soft.
Tension it is strung: 60 pounds on a lockout machine full bed
Your regular string set up: Discho Microfibre 16
String pattern of your racquet: 16 x 20
Power (or lack there of): Low powered multi
Feel: Good feel not great
Tension maintenance: Breaks well before tension drops
Price: $9.00/set, $90/reel for MCS but the Pro's Pro is cheaper
Overall comments and feedback: See below
General: I used almost a reel of this string coming back from an elbow injury. It is the only multi that I can truly say feels as soft as gut to me. The difference is that it is much lower powered.
Serve/Return of Serve: I always seemed to serve well with this string even though my 2nd serve did not feel like it was extra spinny. Just seemed easier to hit the corners but I find that with most thinner strings. This is a 16g string but stretches a lot and thins out a lot too.
Strokes: Nice muted feel to the string. Depth control is very good and spin is probably slightly below average for a multi.
Volleys: Soft strings are not made for net play but it does OK there.
Touch shots: I always enjoyed this string for this type of shot.
Softness: The string softness does not correlate with the RSI stiffness rating.
Tension: Perfect for my game.
Durability: Once the initial coating comes off, the string is close to breaking. I typically got 4 or 5 sets of singles out of it before it snapped.
Movement: String movement is all over the place after a few sets. Not good for the anal types.
Conclusion: If your arm hurts, this is the string for you. If you like low power, this is a great string. If you don't break strings, you might like it too.
Old Review: Reserved for Mantis Comfort Synthetic 16 Review...
I strung this up yesterday and it is a very interesting string. Hands down the easiest string to work with as a home stringer. The string is very soft but the outer coating allows it to stay stiff enough to get through the holes easily. Looking forward to hitting with it on Wednesday. This string seems thinner than the Isospeed. It looks more like a 16L gauge. There also was a very gluey smell to the string which I have not smelled since I used to play with Gamma synthetic gut (a favorite of mine).
Played this morning with the Mantis. It's definitely a low powered multi. It almost feels like a poly without any stiffness. After a few games, I started really digging it. I hit maybe 10 balls long over 2 sets. That has been my big problem with Maxim Touch. The ball does not pocket very much with this string which I don't really care about. Maybe my serve was just on today, but it seemed like I could put the ball into the corners very easily on my serve. When I missed long it was only within a few inches of the service line. The lower power really helped on my forehand because I could take a full swing at the ball. String movement was minimal and this string feels softer than any I've hit with before. Spin creation was the only draw back I could tell, but I was still able to get more than enough on my strokes when needed.
I see why this string was the #3 rated string for comfort of all time by the USRSA. My gut tells me either this or RIP Control are going to be "the one". But maybe the Quasi Gut will prove me wrong. I may take an impromptu vacation next week. If that happens, it may be over 2 weeks until my next review.
After about 4 sets, I'm noticing some minor fraying on the strings. Looks like the outer coating is just starting to peel. This string broke in my bag after 8.5 sets. After 2 more uses, I only got about 5 long sets before breakage. String breakers beware! Good price on this if you buy a reel for $90. Sets are $9.

Reserved for Tourna Quasi Gut 16 Review...
Just opened the Quasi Gut package last night and cut my string lengths. This looks like it will be an easy string to work with on my stringing machine. I strung up the Quasi last night with no difficulties whatsoever. It looks more like a thin 16L gauge than 16g. I bounced the ball off it a few times afterwards and it had that nice muted feel.
I played almost 3 sets today. I was on and my opponent was a little hungover so it's tough to say if this is "the one". The stringbed felt very tight and I know the tension is correct because I calibrated my machine last night. I had a little more elbow pain today but I have not used my Flexbar in over a week, so I need to get back on that program.
The good: First serves were very nice with this string. I was getting almost an ace per game with slices and flat serves. Even though the RSI rated this string #7 overall in power, I feel this is really a control string. Most of my misses were because I hit the frame and not the string. Seemed to be a pretty good volleying string too but not quite as nice as the RIP Control. Drop shots were effortless with this string, maybe even better than the Mantis. The string does not move much and when it does, you can't move it back with just your finger. It really gets locked into place.
The bad: Had 3 or 4 rally balls that sprung off the racket and went way long but I can deal with that low number. The worst thing about this string is lack of spin potential. More like none! My 2nd serve had very little kick on it and if I was playing against a better returner, it would have been getting punished today. My consistency today made up for lack of spin. We'll see how it goes next time out with this string. TW offers this string for $8.95.
My game is heavily dependent on spin, so I cut this one out after the initial outing and due to the elbow issues.

Reserved for Head Rip Control 16 Review...
I strung this one up last night and what a bear it was to work with. Unlike the Mantis which just uncoiled perfectly, this string took me 10 minutes to cut the string for my 2 piece job. I've never seen a string have so many knots! It felt nice and stiff but still was a little bit of a problem with conflict holes. Weaving the string is almost comical how hard it is to do. Still, I ended up finishing the job in about as much time as it normally takes me. It just felt like such a battle! The string looks cool in my PSTs because I bought the black and white version. The string looks very durable. I bounced a few balls off it and it has that nice muted feel. I really hope I don't like this string because I hated the stringing process with it. I'll hit with it tonight and report back tomorrow. One more thing I forgot to mention is that I always cut my knots with needle nose pliers. This is the only string that I had to clip twice because I could not cut it off on the first try.
OK, so I hit with this string last night. It was in the mid-80s buy very dry so conditions were fast even on clay.
The Good: I averaged about an ace per game. This string is terrific for flat bombs and pretty darn good for kickers too. Spin potential on groundies is better than any other multi I have tried. For those that care about string movement, this does not move too much. It has a nice muted feel for those who like that.
The Bad: Like the Maxim Touch, this string has a tendency to be a rocket launcher on standard rally balls. I had several shots that landed 10 feet past the baseline.
The Ugly: I tried 5 drop shots the whole match. Four of them landed on my side of the court, the other one hit my opponent's service line. This had no feel for me on droppers.
The string developed what I guess we could call micro frays after about 15 minutes of hitting. It had very tiny frays all over the string bed. This is a good string and I can see why it has developed a cult following. It's also a very soft string like the others I have tested so far. The lack of control on some shots was just too much for me though.
Played again last night with this string. I'm figuring out that to hit a drop shot, I need to just try and hit a short slice. The string is holding up very well after 4 sets with 2 big hitters. TW offers this string for $8.95.
I cut it out after the 2nd outing. Control just was not there for me.

Edited to Add Head Intellitour review:
I strung it up this afternoon the way they recommended so RIP Feel in the crosses. They say 22' and 18' for lengths. I think it is 22' for both. The strings are oily and I experienced friction burn doing the crosses. It is the ugly yellow version. I bounced a few balls off it and it felt very nice. I don't want to like this string because it is difficult to string which means I'll probably like it. I'll test it out tomorrow and post back.
I played two long sets this morning. Like the Quasi, first serves were good but I was lacking a big kick on the 2nd serve. The clay courts we were on were damp, so that did not help. Forehands were good and when I decided to rip the 1 hander on my backhand, this string was very good. Spin was less than the RIP Control but more than most multis. Touch volleys and drop shots were fantastic with this string. This is a very control oriented string with that nice muted feel.
I still like the feel of the Mantis and the spin of the RIP Control better, but this is a very good string that I probably won't be cutting out. Like the RIP, I noticed what I would call micro frays on the string but it looks pretty durable. This setup is definitely soft, I only had 1 or 2 shots where I noticed a twinge in my elbow. TW offers this string for $8.95.
I did end up cutting this string out, it seemed to lose some control after a few sets.

Why 16g?
I look forward to the reviews but I only use 17g or 17L so Im a little disappointed, I am very interested in Quasi-gut, next for me is Ashaway Dynamite and Alpha gut 2k.
I found Head RIP to be VERY durable but not enough soft feel, pocketing, and power for my hybrid needs.

I went 16 gauge because Mantis only comes in 16g. I'd like to compare each string by gauge before moving back to 17g.

That's still not too bad for 17 gauge. I've read that RIP 16 is way more durable than 17. I only play 3 times a week so I may not get to RIP for another 3 or 4 weeks. But I'll get to it eventually.

Good to know. I think I'll pass on the 17g version in the future then. I edited the Mantis post just for a brief discussion of how easy to string it was.

Thanks for doing these reviews. I have been interested in these strings. I look forward to your write-ups.
I really like NXT but hate paying the price. Instead, I like to find a good multi to put in the mains (16 g) and then a less expensive syn gut in the crosses (currently its OG micro 17). I have been fortunate to find a couple excellent multis on sale in the past 6 months (k-gut and Xcel), but expect to see the day when I don't find the sale and need a good multi at a good price. Also, it would be nice to settle on one multi and not have to change. I am hopeful that your reviews will lead me to that string!

I did not mention in the initial post, but one of my goals was to find a value oriented multi preferably in reel form. Maxim Touch, Mantis Comfort, Quasi Gut and Isospeed all meet those criteria. RIP Control is the only that does not come in reel form but the price is still good.

Mike, this is off topic, but I too suffered from golfer's elbow, for 18 months. That's what got me using multis as well. I hope you're evaluating your technique to help prevent further injury and not just relying on soft strings.

I played for 4 years in high school taking about 1 private lesson per week along with some group lessons. Never had any elbow pain then. I played 5 years as an adult before I got GE. While I doubt I have perfect technique, my strokes are fairly orthodox.
It actually started as acute triceps tendinitis for about a year which I got from just hitting one first serve too hard with a very light/stiff racket. It did not just develop over time like many here have reported. The GE showed up about 9 months later.
After my ultrasound/electrostimulation therapy, the triceps pain went away but the GE has always reminded me that it is not ready to go without a fight.

"If Christians are to walk in the way of Christ and proclaim his Gospel in season and out of season, they must understand it in its fullness. Moreover, they must be ready, willing and able to engage with people of other faiths and with those who have embraced secularist ideologies that are deeply hostile to Christian beliefs. That is why I'm so excited about the new journal of Christian thought, Renewing Minds."

The Angels Team Store (714-940-2618) is generally open on non-game days, Monday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and two hours prior to game time during day of game.
You can always purchase Angels merchandise online anytime at the MLB.com shop »

With the baseball season upon us we wanted to inform you of the best ways to enter the Angel Stadium parking lot. We anticipate high demand for games this season, so it is encouraged that you arrive early to games in order to ensure parking.
Premier Parking
If you have season seats in Field or Diamond Club sections 110 - 126 and pre-purchased an annual parking pass, then your designated parking areas are "Premier Parking" areas near the homeplate gate. These parking areas are located in the most convenient locations within the Angel Stadium inner parking lots and close proximity to gates 2, 3, 4 and the homeplate main entrance. For the most convenient access to these areas, we recommend that you use the "Express Entrance" at Orangewood Ave. and proceed straight forward to the lots and our parking attendants will direct you to the Premier Parking locations. These areas may also be accessed from the State College Blvd. Your new Premier Parking passes will be shipped with your Season Seat Holder Welcome kit. Accessible parking remains available on a first-come-first-access basis with valid ADA documentation.
Preferred Parking
If you have pre-purchased a "Preferred Parking" pass and your season seats are located outside of the Field levels listed above, then your parking options will remain within the inner lot (closest to the venue) but have been relocated nearer to the outfield on either side of the stadium. Parking areas will be adjacent to gates 1, 4 and 6. Accessible parking remains available on a first-come-first-access basis with valid ADA documentation. We recommend that you access these Preferred Parking areas as follows:
First Base preference: Use the Orangewood Ave. "Express Entrance" on the south side of the venue.
Third Base preference: Use the State College Blvd. entrance on the west side of the venue.
Please be aware that the closer to game time, the greater the probability that the State College Blvd entrance may be non-accessible or closed-off, due to heavy traffic and especially for high demand games. We always recommend that you use the Season Seat Holder exclusive Orangewood Ave. "Express Entrance" to avoid any heavy access traffic near the stadium.
To be added to the Preferred Parking Waiting List, please contact your Client Service Representative at (888) 796-HALO.
Also, please note, for your safety we will close the gates once the parking lot is full. If you are leaving the game early, it is best to exit the Orangewood or Katella gate, where an attendant is stationed who will open the gate and allow cars to exit.
-- back to top --
There are six gates available to all fans coming to the ballpark. The gates open 90 minutes prior to the start of the scheduled first pitch. The Home Plate Gate opens two hours early, except on Sunday games, it will open 90 minutes prior to the game. Their locations are as follows:
-- back to top --
Some locations at Angel Stadium of Anaheim are reserved for those who require use of a wheelchair and their companion. Wheelchair accessible seating is dispersed throughout the stadium in the Terrace, Club and Outfield Seating Areas. If you are a Season Seat Holder of these seats, we ask you to help by contacting the Ticket Office to exchange your tickets should you find that they will not be used by a guest in a wheelchair and a companion. We will make every effort to provide comparably priced seats for the game or games. This helps to ensure that ample wheelchair locations are available to those who need it. For those with disabilities, but do not require a wheelchair, we have semi-ambulatory seating available as well. Please contact your Account Executive for more information.

A lost child will be taken to the Guest Relations Office on the Field Level concourse outside section 108. Lost parents should follow the same procedure. See Child Wristbands - Safe in Your Seat section for lost children prevention.
-- back to top --
Any item that has been lost or found during a game should be reported to the Guest Relations Office, near sections 108 and/or 124. All items found will be kept for 90 days in the Guest Relations Office.
Any fan losing an item should fill out a report, including a brief description of the item and a phone number where you can be reached if the item is turned in. A simple way to protect your property is to place your name and phone number permanently somewhere on the item.

England closed in on a spot in the quarter-finals of the U16 European Championship for Women's B Division in Arad with a 55-51 victory over Portugal on Tuesday.
But they had to withstand a frenetic finish, and a 25-point barrage from Joana Soeiro, to join Portugal on a 3-1 record. But results elsewhere in Group E mean that only Estonia are out of the running to advance into the knock-out stages headed into what promises to be a thrilling final series of games on Wednesday.
Ukraine, led by 16 from Nataliya Skorbatyuk, used a strong fourth period to shake off Estonia 47-42. While Latvia won a thriller with Slovenia 63-62 with both teams joining the Ukrainians on a 2-2 mark.
In Group E, Lithuania, paced by 24 points from Justina Kraujunaite, remained unbeaten but were pushed by Denmark before snaring a 69-66 victory. It set up a decider on Wednesday for top spot with Germany who also retained their perfect record, Emma Stach scoring a game-high 19 in a 73-64 win over Romania.
Bulgaria saved themselves from certain elimination, routing Switzerland 74-45 behind 29 points and 11 rebounds from Borislava Hristova.
And they, Denmark and the hosts will now gun for two available places in the quarters on Wednesday.

Lake Stevens bows to Bears in state regional
Olympia scores 10 runs in final two innings as Lake Stevens falls 12-1 in state regional

Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Lake Stevens third baseman Taylor Shea makes a throw to first base during Saturday's state regional game.
Vikings right-hander Branden Kelliher was pitching well enough to amass 11 strikeouts, though he trailed 2-1 through five. The difference was an unearned run Olympia pushed across in the third inning, and as the game went to the sixth it was looking like that run might be decisive.
As it turned out, that one run mattered very little. It was the 10 runs Olympia scored in the final two innings that were costly.
The Bears pounded out 10 hits in their last two at-bats, got two other base runners via walks, benefitted from three Lake Stevens errors, and turned a close game into an eventual 12-1 blowout. The outcome moved Olympia into the regional final against Kentwood later on Saturday, and ended the Vikings' season with a 14-10 record.
Afterward, Lake Stevens coach Rodger Anderson told his players "to not remember this game because that's not us. It was just one of those games."
The Vikings started a lineup with seven juniors, two sophomores and just one senior, "so maybe our youth caught up with us," Anderson said. Conversely, Olympia "is a very good high school team. We really can't feel bad about it because we got beat by a better team today."
A week ago, Lake Stevens pulled out three hard-fought wins to snag a surprising District 1 championship and the right to host Saturday's four-team regional. And in the early going Saturday it looked like this might be another battle that would go down to the last pitch.
The Vikings struck first, scoring a two-out run in the bottom of the first. First baseman Corey Bullens, batting third, lashed a single into right-center field on the first pitch, and Kelliher followed with a drive off the left field wall -- it missed being a home run by about 10 feet -- to score Bullens on a sliding play at the plate.
Olympia countered with two runs in the third on two hits and two Vikings errors. Both were errant throws, and the second allowed the Bears to score the go-ahead run.
Aside from a shaky third, the hard-throwing Kelliher gave up only two other hits while fanning 11 in the first five innings. But in the sixth he walked the leadoff hitter and gave up three straight hits, prompting Anderson to summon the first of four Lake Stevens relievers.
Alas, the new pitchers fared no better. In the sixth Olympia pounded out four doubles and four runs before center fielder Cameron Frost capped the uprising with a towering three-run home run over the left field wall.
The Bears tacked on three more runs in the seventh and Lake Stevens was retired in order to end the game.
Disappointing as Saturday's outcome was for the Vikings, most of the players will be back to try again next season. The experience gained in this year's district and regional tournaments "is going to be huge," Anderson said. "I think it's going to pay off next year, the following year and on down the line."
Kelliher will be a senior next season, and with a sizzling fastball that reaches the low 90s "there'll be lots of scouts around," Anderson said. "People will be talking about him."
And for entire program, "I think the future is very bright," he went on. "We had great leadership from our seniors this year, but we won't have too many holes to fill. And we've got some young guys that are pretty talented.
"Like we just told them, 'Next year you're going to have targets on your back. You're not going to sneak up on people.' ? So this was a learning experience, and now we'll just build from this."

I would like to track GPS points while I am photographing with my Canon EOS (5D) camera.

I would like to track GPS points while I am photographing with my Canon EOS (5D) camera.
What option do I have track them and what do you recommend?
I've found that the best solution is to buy an inexpensive stand alone GPS device, make sure your camera clock is synced with the GPS time, carry the GPS in your camera bag while on and saving the track log and use RoboGeo to tag your photos after the fact.
Robo Geo does a nice job and has lots of features, plus it will work with any camera out there.
Here's a free software that will take a GPS track log recorded from your standalone GPS device (or perhaps from your phone, if it has a GPS), and applies the geocoding to your images:
Along with it, I found a site to convert various types of GPS log format into GPX (what is needed by the above software)
When released, Lightroom 4 will have the ability to accept a track log to encode photos. (Detailed in the Mapping your Photos preview video.)
I use an external Garmin GPS and Jeffry Friedl's excellent GPS Supportplugin to lightrom which takes the tracks and geo-encodes the files in my library for me from the track data. Oh yeah, and I make sure the clocks are synchronised!
There are a number of options for external GPS trackers (Sony makes one, for example) that when you combine with software will use the EXIF data of the image combined with the GPS log to tag your photos.
Now, in my experience, many of these are iffy in their reliability. There are good ones, however, and the key is to make sure that they communicate with many satellites to ensure that you do, in fact, track.
To get you started, this one looks promising: PhotoTrackr Mini
I second the approach of a standalone GPS Tracker and then using some software to sync it into your metadata. I actively used a device called i-gotU. It is cheap and reasonable accurate, but in my experience needs a long time to pick up on the available satellites, which can be annoying.
If you are on a Mac available syncing software is for example GPSPhotoLinker.
I use a PhotoTrackr. It's a standalone GPS tracker, and comes with Windows & Mac software to automatically geotag your photos.
Good points: cheap, small, robust, straightforward, enough memory to store at least two weeks' worth of data, runs for ~2 days on a single charge, Gisteq customer support are actually helpful if you ever need them, software is reasonably pleasant to use.
Bad points: no display, can take a while to get a position if you haven't used it recently, takes several hours to fully charge battery.
I had the same question, so I decided to write a Mac program (sorry I use Apple at home) to merge geotag information from Google Latitude. (I did not want to pay for the 'gps' Eye-Fi... does not work well)
For this to work, all you need is an Android/iPhone with Google Latitude installed and running while you take photos.
Then the software will retrospectively geotag using time correlation.
Pretty simple and for most people they do not need to buy anything additionally.
It's totally free and has no bloat. Make sure your camera time is accurate however (check your timezone!)... although the software has options to compensate.
Zesty systems Inc.(Japan) has released the ZGR-1 accessory to provide additional capabilities to Nikon DSLR, among other things providing long time exposure time control, shutter release, GPS information and etc.
The question was specifically for Canon, so it would seem that for the moment this solution is not applicable but (as of August 2012) from the official blog it appears that a Canon compatible version is being considered.
I take the approach of using a standalone GPS device (which happens to be an old Windows Mobile powered phone, running the free OSM Tracker) and then combine the GPX tracks from it with my photographs using Microsoft Pro Photo Tools, which also happens to be free.
Microsoft Pro Photo Tools also allows saving metadata back to RAW files (if you've install the RAW Codec from Canon), and I'm not aware of any other tool that can do this; It can also add other metadata such as photographer contact details in the EXIF data.
Canon's official method is to use a gps unit with their Wireless File Transfer accessories. Not sure I'd actually recommend that solution unless you have lots of money and don't mind the extra weight though.
If you have iOS or Android mobile phone, you can use much cheaper option, that to buy dedicated device. There are apps for it, that works as a GPS datalogger. For example, Geotag Photos Pro is for both Android and iOS and has also free desktop application, that geotags even photos in raw file formats.
There are more apps for both Android & iPhone, you search in AppStore / Android Market.
I think a dedicated GPS device will be the best option but if you wanted to try it out without purchasing one and you already have an iPhone or Android smartphone then you could use something like Geotag (http://www.geotagphotos.net/) and use your phone as the GPS device. I'm sure there are plenty of other similar applications, so this one is just an example that I have used.
Applications like this will allow you to geotag the photos you take with your DSLR. You should first ensure that the clocks on the phone and camera are in-sync (you can fix discrepancies later if necessary), then you simply fire up the app and leave it running while you are out on your photo shoot - this will potentially cause your phone battery to drain a little quicker than normal.
When you return home you download the photos from your DSLR as normal and then run the desktop application or access the application's website to download your location data (as GPX data that can be used in any compatible geotagging or mapping application e.g. GPSvisualizer.com or Google Earth) as well as automatically write the GPS metadata to your photographs.
It's all very simple to do and if you have a smartphone already then you have pretty much everything you need without having to spend a bunch of cash. Just be aware that using GPS does tend to drain your battery faster than normal.
When using a smartphone to log data, make sure that is does two things:
I'm using two apps on my iPhone that fit this description well: gps4cam (fixed intervals, also available for Android) and MotionX GPS. gps4cam generates a barcode for your current track that you can take a photo of and use a win/Mac software to tag the photos automatically.
If you go on longer photo tours I'd recommend a standalone GPS logger because smartphones only last for 3-6 hours when logging GPS data.
For Windows Phone users there's a new app in town: http://www.point4pic.com
Does the GPS tracking on your phone, the track gets uploaded to your OneDrive and then via a simple desktop app you automatically tag all your photos. No time synchronization needed, it's done automatically.
Note: for now the app supports only JPEG photos.
I have not used them, but there are devices like the Eye-Fi Geo card which are souped-up SD cards that automatically geotag the photos as they are being taken.

No reviews written for this product
There's something about this fragrance that evokes pleasant memories for some people. I wore it to a funeral and one of the deceased person's relatives warmly embraced me saying; "Ahh,I see you and my mom have something in common,you both love Estee Lauder's fragrances." And,surprisingly,the priest who did the funeral told me it reminded him of his grandmother's flower garden where he used to play as a little boy every summer. Another person said that his wife wore this on their wedding day. Boy,was I the popular one that day,thanks to Pure White Linen by Estee Lauder.

I always get compliments when I wear Pure White Linen, in fact it is the only fragrance I will wear. People tell me it has a subtle fresh clean smell. I work in a school, and when students come into my classroom, they always say "it smells so nice in here!"

I LOVE this fragrance. I get compliments when I where it. Not too much but subtle. However, as with any fragrance, each person's chemistry reacts differently to each fragrance.

Overview of content related to 'elib'
This page provides an overview of 1 article related to 'elib'. Note that filters may be applied to display a sub-set of articles in this category (see FAQs on filtering for usage tips). Select this link to remove all filters.
The Electronic Libraries programme (eLib) resulted from the recommendations in chapter 7 of the Joint Funding Councils' Libraries Review Group, chaired by Sir Brian Follett. This Group reviewed libraries and related provision in higher education in the UK, and was commissioned jointly by the four UK HE funding bodies, HEFCE, SHEFC, HEFCW and DENI. Its report (known as the Follett report) was published in December 1993. The programme had £15,000,000 of funding over three years. The aim of eLib was to 'transform the use and storage of knowledge in higher education institutions'. It was managed by the JISC's Committee on Electronic Information, though the JISC committee which was set up initially to take forward the Follett recommendation was the Follett Implementation Group for Information Technology, FIGIT. Phase 3 was designed to build on successes and to have four components: 1) hybrid libraries; 2) large scale resource discovery, or clumps; 3) preservation; 4) turning early projects into services. An (unmaintained) archive of eLib programme and project information can currently be found on the UKOLN website. (Excerpt from this source)
