LOVE it. Tried it last night. I watched the flies move to the unsprayed side of the horse, and then leave completely once all of him was sprayed. I did not wipe any on his face, but the flies stayed away once the rest of the horse was sprayed. We'll see how it does on the trail with the deer flies this weekend. But for now, I'm wowed.
"Not impressed"
I live in SE Texas, and we have a horrible fly season. I bought this at my local tack store because it was the least expensive bottle on the shelf. After maybe 10-20 minutes, the flies came right back. I ended up using my trainer's fly spray and it killed and repelled a lot longer than that. Well, I guess it was you get what you paid for.
"most effective natural fly repellent I've ever used"
The pleasant smell is only the start of why I choose this herbal repellent. My horse's coats are well conditioned and shine. I have a health issue which has necessitated avoiding any chemical pesticides. I usually get the concentrate (which is a great deal) and dilute it as directed, making plenty for our three horses for nearly 2 months!!!
"Gentle, Smells Great"
I Love this stuff! No fly spray I've ever used works very long anyway, but this is so gentle and smells so good that you won't mind using it on yourself. Wonderful natural oils, I've been using it for years !

Technology brings new options to your home theater
(NewsUSA) - From backroom meetings in Hollywood to studio lots in Burbank, distribution has been the buzzword for entertainment executives.
Although it has been a long time coming, digital distribution -- the downloading and streaming of movies and television shows to consumers' computers, Internet-enabled televisions and mobile devices -- film executives have turned a somewhat blind eye to the phenom.
And this, says Peter Hoffman, CEO of Los Angeles-based Seven Arts Pictures, may be Hollywood's biggest downfall, if not undoing.
"Whether studios like it or not, consumers would now much rather stream their movies to their electronic devices than rent a DVD," said Hoffman. "We have strategically positioned Seven Arts Entertainment, both in terms of motion pictures and musical content, to deliver entertainment directly to consumers," he added.
Bolstering Hoffman's assessment of the industry is a report released last year by accounting giant PwC, which remains bullish about growth in the film industry, projecting that electronic delivery of movies by various entities such as Apple and Netflix will grow from $4.8 billion last year to $7.6 billion in 2015.
One has only to point to Microsoft as the epitome of a company that has used technology to its advantage -- and profited from it.
Even as music companies were battling piracy issues in court in the late 1990s and early 2000, Apple began slowly amassing an overwhelming presence in the digital music market via iTunes -- and movie executives should use that as a teachable moment, said Hoffman.
"The film industry needs to take note of the lessons learned by the music industry and try to foster cross-platform competition, instead of focusing on one channel of distribution," he said.
While some in Hollywood are still wrapping their heads around this new direction, others are looking at it as an opportunity and potential boon for growth, marketing and, yes, the almighty and important bottom line.

Men and Women's Tennis Roll Crusaders in 7-2 and 9-0 League Wins Monday
April 4, 2011
BELMONT, N.C. Pfeiffer University tennis swept a pair of matches at league-rival Belmont Abbey on Monday afternoon. The women scored a 7-2 victory while the men shutout the Crusaders 9-0. The Lady Falcons move to 9-8 overall, 5-2 in league play while the Falcon men advance to 6-6, 2-3.
The lone points for Belmont Abbey came at #3 doubles and #6 singles as Pfeiffer only had five players competing on the road. The Lady Falcons dropped just six games all afternoon long between doubles and singles play.
On the mens side, Pfeiffer rolled comfortably as well dropping just five games in each doubles and singles action. Like the ladies, the men had three matches go in straight-sets 6-0, 6-0.
The men head out on the road again Tuesday making up an earlier rainout at Erskine while the women, along with the men, wrap up 2011 regular season play on Sunday hosting Lees-McRae.

Ok, this is done and dusted Should've got much much more than ****ing 90+ on this pitch. ****s.
'Golden arm' Clarke is on. Not a bad decision by Ponting, but why isn't Smith bowling more?
Smith should be bowling, not Clarke. I think this has been the best I've actually seen Smith bowl in an international.
I still say smith's underbowled, terrible captaincy. He's bowled much better yesterday.
Yeah, I thought he bowled alright yesterday. It would have been nice for the captain to back him with a long spell at one end.

Fine knock, Trott. Very fine knock, indeed.
Why do I get the feeling Trott is going to be one of those asshole players who decides to play exceptionally well against Australia his whole career. Well done though Trott lol...

Is the wool fiber in these warmers the same as the wool from a sheep as far as allergic reaction would be?
Hello, I had a pair of your alpaca cable hand warmers in a red burgandy type colour (reder than your merlot), but my puppy recently chewed them. They were my favourite gloves. I was wondering if you will be getting that colour in stock again?
Hi, I had a question about sizes. My hands are really tiny; my palm is just under three inches across the middle. Would these be too big for me?
I only like one of the colors in these, the Merlot, and was wondering if you would be getting that color, or any other colors in at any time as I would like to get a pair of these gloves.
Thanks for offering quality, attractive, & affordable plus-sized tights. Will be ordering more! <3.

Dr. Herbert Wagner's missile group at Henschel Aircraft in World War II Germany designed this small, experimental, air-to-air missile. A Schmidding solid rocket propelled the Hs 298 for about 25 seconds, and the pilot in the launch aircraft guided it using a joystick and transmitter.
The initial Hs 298 V1 design, first tested in 1944, had a different wing, square fins, a warhead on top, and a generator propeller below. Henschel built more than 300 V1s model and over 100 V2s, but the project was cancelled in early 1945 in favor of the Ruhrstahl X-4, which performed better. The Smithsonian obtained this missile from the U.S. Navy in 1948.
Transferred from the U.S. Navy Bureau of Aeronautics

Something that may also work for you, especially if there aren't too many people playing, is joining the mumble channel when you're online and then typing a message asking for an invite. Hi my mic doesn't work, please invite me to the outfit.
That colourblindness must make this game incredibly annoying to play - although hopefully if you just aim for the ones without giraffe camouflage we can slowly move the entire Vanu team towards an awesome uniform.
Isn't that the giraffe camo? It's the opposite of camouflage in nearly every environment we fight in, and it gets us regularly fired on by our own side as it slightly resembles enemy uniforms and they're trigger happy twitch gamers in the throes of caffeine psychosis - in other words it looks silly and actively hinders our effectiveness, which makes it terribly right for RPS.

I'm fekkin stupid. It's been a long time since I used my headset... I forgot that there was a volume control and mute button on the cable
So do I need to get the Giraffe camo? I must admit it does look cool on Magriders.
Nobody needs to get the giraffe camo, it's in no way a requirement. However, what I would say is this: giraffe camo is the second best thing you can spend station cash on. If you're planning on flying a scythe, spend station cash on the rocket pods (1000 certs/700 SC).
If you're not planning on spending much time in a scythe, spend SC on giraffe camo for whatever you plan to do most - vehicle camo if you fancy being a tanker, or infantry camo if you fancy being a grunt. There's also one-shot camos which are cheaper - they're only for one class or vehicle, and you can't swap camo and then swap back, but if you know you're a medic you can be a giraffe medic for cheap.
Giraffe camo has become a kind of unofficial uniform for the outfit.
Of course we would never require people to spend money in order to play in the outfit. That's all kinds of absurdly stupid.
We do, however, appreciate the gesture of looking astoundingly ugly. It is gloriously hideous.
I've yet to get it myself; waiting for next month's SC influx from membership.Originally Posted by CROCONOUGHTKEY

I'm sure I can manage 500 smedbucks for the giraffe camo.
Oh... and I used to one of the 'top men' for teaching people how to shoot down aircraft with MANPADS.
I like shooting stuff down. If you want a dedicated AA section, I'm up for it.

Won't be available tonight But great idea, looking forward for the next one !
Work took longer than expected and making food, so won't be able to join this week.Steam: krusader83 | Origin: Sceptrum
Planetside 2: SceptrumVS (Miller) : SceptrumNC (Cobalt) : SceptrumTR (Cobalt)
Just using this thread to get this out: If you have an AMS fitted Suni, please try to also get the vehicle ammo cert. It greatly helps us tank drivers. In todays big fight at the end (where we actually pushed back the TR) I had to go back to base three times because I was out of ammo and there was no ammo sundi around.
Of course I don't want to tell people how to spent their certs but it would help greatly and also is free xp for you

Not convinced that was a particularly great night. But then I was in a largely empty/mute channel.
It didn't help that we found ourselves face-on with the huge TR zerg most of the night. A lot of back and forth. Pretty sure when I left we were at the same place as where we started the night... That's basically Planetside all over, but it didn't help that my attempt to break us out of our see-saw action left us stranded.
I had the map open most of the night and all squads were pretty much working tightly together, which was great to see. Swift response at most times too.
Somewhat dull push-pull shape to the night aside; how did it go down?
Comms. Did it work? Did a 4-way split provide tighter squad comms, or was it just too quiet? Did the previous night where there were two 24-person channels work better?
Command: I think I'll answer this one. I think I prefer a system where the PL sets general target (e,g: Tumas tech) and SLs just annouce their intentions (bravo going via Chimney Rock, charlie chosing to go logging company then storage yard etc.) in a more democractic manner.
I much prefered tonight's system to the usual channel of 40 people where 5 people have an idea for the next destination and all chip in, and people head off all over the place befere a PL steps in and announces where. But I think there's a half-way point to be found that wasn't tonight's format.
I had a crack at directing 3 squads in a fairly close fashion, but am not convinced that was the best decision making process. It might say more about my PL style / ability than anything else though.
I never fully felt like I was aware enough of what was going on to make decisions, nor that that decisions I made always made sense / were communicated by me properly. I think that's much more a result of a bunch of people working together for the first time than anything else though.
On the ground: I had no experience of this. Was the "on the ground" experience any different than the usual purple wednesday nights? For the better?
In any case, I'm too busy with work / don't have the inclination to run as PL for another strategic giraffe night. Not because I think it's a bad idea, far from it, but simply because this chain of command stuff sits outside of my comfort zone of playstyle. I'm still happy to boss about 40 half-drunk people on a Wednesday though.
I think there should be another strategic giraffe night, and I'll try to be there, on the ground, shooting lasers this time. If someone wants to sort that out; either as the second platoon next purple Wednesday as it was yesterday, or another thursday (or any other day of the week), than I'm happy to set Steam announcements etc.
Edit: To be more assertive. There WILL be another Strategic Giraffes night. Because someone will volunteer to organise it. Please step forward.
It was a good night. I think we just need to tweak the format a bit so that we get the sweet point between "too many people in one channel making organisation impossible" and a strict hierarchy of command that seemed a bit too inflexible for a fast-moving game.

I can only talk for bravo (was it bravo? Ridebirds?) squad but I think it was a pretty good run. I cannot remember where something we tried to do actually failed (as failed by communication, not being shot into pieces). Communication within bravo was mostly down to orders and requests, which was fine. I think that we were fighting the TR zerg wasn't helping much as we were simply outnumbered most of the time. Also there were plenty of retreat orders which became confusing as for us grunts (imho) it was hard to figure out what our overall tactic was, to be able to better adopt to it.
I think the one thing that might have improved our game would have been that we need some tighter knit firing squads. Like one AA squad which sticks together, follows the main troops and provides AA support. We surely lacked that. Maybe the same with a dedicated inf AV and an infiltrator squad for spotting and sniping (could be inside the AA squad). It would make people have a dedicated role to play and would take less organization on their part as they know what to do as long as there is a platoon waypoint up.
Also very often when we had to respond to aircraft or vehicles people switched their classes to counter and with that we lacked other capabilities like fighting off incoming infantry.
Also we have to keep a closer eye on our backs and Sundi. Very often the enemy was able to sneak up on us from behind.
But overall I think we are getting there. It just needs some more time and adjusting.

Communication command ways worked about 5000 times better. It was great really. I think two squads together works better gameplay wise probably (12 is a bit few for a lot of objectives I felt today), but comms wise it was much better this way.
I felt we worked pretty well in bravo. People listened and we got some stuff done. The main issue was push pull and that we were moved around a bit much. Therefore the mentioned more democratic way you described Cooper could work better. I know for myself that it can be quite hard to keep track on what you said to what squad, and what you told them to do. Generally it worked though, but as bonkers describes it probably made very little sense to the others in the squad. The overall strategy I felt was hard to see, and we were all over the place. That was mainly due to the nature of TR moving about though.
Regarding smaller fireteams and specialization, I think we were just a bit few, and 24 would work better that way. I agree though, generally we were a bit confused tonight, and I didn't call stuff as soon as I should. I was abit unclear on some stuff as well I feel, which caused confusin. I probably should have explained orders more. Also communication was a bit stiff. The main reason for this is probably, well I felt this anyway, that people might be a little afraid to speak up with suggestions a la "we should get two AA maxes up" because of the SERIOUS nature of the night. In my squad at least it's fine to talk and joke as long as you listen and react quick when I order stuff, and can focus on the game.
I think we all realized it's not that serious after a while, but banter and general talkativeness was quite a bit lower in bravo then it would be between 12 people on a normal night. Radio discipline is great, but when you're 12 you can actually talk random stuff and get to know eachother without distractic from the orders etc, which I feel makes teamwork much better.
Also we get some new people and such. I think we maybe should enforce the time a bit more, cause I saw you having to move around dudes quite often Cooper. That's mainly due to the shitty UI though. I can't believe people can't move themselves in to squads. So dumb, and such an unnecessary task for the PL. Really hope SOE will fix that.

OXFORD, Ohio--The Miami University men's basketball team held off a late surge from Eastern Michigan to capture a 65-61 win on Saturday afternoon inside Millett Hall. The win improves the RedHawks to 9-10 overall and 5-3 in Mid-American Conference play. The Eagles move to 12-9 overall and 4-4 in conference.
Leading the charge were junior guard Will Sullivan and senior forward Will Felder. Sullivan converted on 5-of-6 3-point field goals and finished the contest with a game-high 19 points, while Felder added 17 points and a career-high 15 rebounds.
That same duo helped clinch the contest for the Red and White down the stretch. Miami established a 61-55 lead with 1:38 left in the game after a pair of Felder free throws, but EMU drilled back-to-back 3-pointers to knot the game at 61 apiece with 60 seconds left in the contest.
Miami went inside to its senior leader down the stretch. With the shot clock running down, Felder's jumper got blocked, but Quinten Rollins grabbed the rebound and fed it back to the Cleveland, Ohio native for a short jumper to give Miami a 63-61 lead with 25 seconds remaining.
After a missed 3-pointer by EMU, Sullivan grabbed the rebound and converted on a pair at the charity stripe to secure the victory.
Miami opened the contest just 1-of-9 from the field and trailed 13-4 with 11 minutes remaining in the first half. Freshman guard Jaryd Eustace and Sullivan converted on three consecutive three pointers and senior forward Bill Edwards added a bucket to get the RedHawks to within 17-15, but Miami trailed 30-22 at the half.
The RedHawks did not claim their first lead until a Sullivan layup at 13:07 of the second half.
Joining Sullivan and Felder in double figures was sophomore guard Geovonie McKnight (10 points). Eustace was 3-of-6 from behind the arc to finish the game with nine points.
Miami held an edge in rebounding (39-29) and were 8-of-16 on 3-pointers for the afternoon.
The RedHawks will travel to Northern Illinois (Feb. 4) and Ohio (Feb. 8) before returning home on Feb. 12 in a contest with Buffalo. Those interested in purchasing tickets for Miami's final five home contests, including the game against the Bulls, can get the "MAC Pack" by clicking HERE.

Click below to hear the report on the Federal Drive
By Jason Miller
Executive Editor
Federal News Radio
The Office of Management and Budget gave agency chief information officers marching orders to implement software to continuously monitor the security of their networks by the end of fiscal 2012.
This was just one of several governmentwide provisions in the administration's annual IT budget passback guidance. Federal News Radio obtained exclusive details about the passback from multiple federal sources.
Federal chief information officer Vivek Kundra sent agency CIOs guidance as part of the 2012 budget request in December.
A request to OMB for comment on the IT passback was not returned.
But multiple federal sources, who requested anonymity because the information is considered pre-decisional, say OMB focused on only a handful of governmentwide areas, instead of the 18 they did in last year's passback. The officials say OMB placed several agency-specific provisions in the guidance around financial management systems, data center consolidation and other areas.
"The things we asked for relative to supporting our programs, they came back and said 'do it,'" said one federal official. "OMB gave us what we asked for in funding as well. We had no comments on the IT passback. It was fine just the way it is."
OMB instructed agencies to meet several deadlines in this year and next. Along with the continuous monitoring requirements, the administration wants agencies to use the cyberscope tool to submit standard data on the health of their IT systems by Sept. 30.
The Homeland Security Department will issue guidance in the coming months detailing how the information should look when exported to cyberscope, the officials say.
The idea behind continuous monitoring is to know in real time or near real time the health of agency computer networks instead of checking them a few times a year. It also will help DHS and agencies address threats or potential threats sooner.
That real time or near real time information is then fed into the Einstein tool run by DHS.
"I don't see how people will do this," said another federal official. "There hasn't been buy-in across the board. Some agencies such as State, NASA and Justice will be able to do it. But others didn't want to do it and haven't started."
The official added that some agencies that received an "A" on their Federal Information Security Management Act scorecard will struggle with cyberscope because it's no longer just about filling out paperwork.
The official also said vendors will struggle, especially those who have made a living on compliance.
Through cyberscope, agencies will feed cumulative data into the online software tool to show how they are meeting FISMA requirements. DHS will use the data to get a more holistic picture of federal cybersecurity.
OMB also reiterated its cloud-first policy, which it first revealed in the 2010 passback and made it public with its 25-point IT reform plan in December. The guidance also instructs agencies to consider the technologies that have been approved under the FEDRamp process.
The General Services Administration and the departments of Defense and Homeland Security are collaborating on a set of requirements to certify and accredit cloud services that meet the government's common security requirements.
Officials say FEDRamp could be ready to examine the initial set of vendor services this spring.
Another governmentwide topic is the transition to Internet Protocol version 6.
OMB wants agencies to complete their transition plans by April to move external facing servers to the new protocol.
OMB called for agencies external services to use IPv6 by the end of fiscal 2012. Agencies also must upgrade internal servers that communicate with the public facing Internet and supporting enterprise networks to IPv6 by 2014.
E-government and line of business initiatives are two areas where OMB intensified its guidance for 2011.
The administration instructed agencies through hard deadlines to pay for e-government and line of business shared services.
OMB wants agency managing partners to get funding requests in to them by May 31, meaning contributing agencies should tell the managing partners how much money they will provide.
And by Aug. 31, partner agencies have to confirm the funding levels by having their CFO sign off on the amount so it can be included in 2013 budget submission.
The second official called this year's guidance much more direct compared with last year's guidance on these initiatives, which they called "squishy."
"Agencies didn't know what the funding would be until the end of the fiscal year," the source said. "It's been sloppily governed all along. And it looks like OMB is trying to put more accountability on the managing partners."
Each host or computer on the Internet requires an Internet Protocol address in order to communicate. The growth of the Internet has created a need for more addresses than are possible with the current system, IPv4. Federal News Radio follows the government's implementation of IPv6.

Your top questions & reports
Last week Bishop Childs C.I.W Primary asked: "If you plant your bulb at the same time as your partner will they open their flowers at the same time?"
This is a very good question and if the bulbs were planted at the same time, were the same size and kept in the same conditions then they could possibly open on the same day. But, all the bulbs are slightly different sizes and some may get more water or sunshine - so they tend to open on different days.
Generally, all of the bulbs in one school will open within a week or two of each other. At first, you get a few then the majority will open within a few days of each other, then a smaller number will take a little longer. It's a bit like a race, there will be a few quick ones, a larger group that arrives about the same time then a few slow ones.
In this experiment, we take the average flowering time. So we record each date from each flower then divide it by the total number of flowers. Look at the results from your school last year http://www.museumwales.ac.uk/en/2135/
Ysgol Glantwymyn asks: Ydy'r tywydd yma yn dda?/ Is this weather good? The recent warm temperatures we are having are good - as it is getting our bulbs growing. But, if we have a another cold snap it could be very damaging to our bulbs and slow them down again.
Good reports from schools:
Cwm Glas Primary: We have got some shouts.
Maesycwmmer Primary School: A very frosty and cold week. We have noticed a few of our bulbs have started to grow. We have our chart ready and we are going to keep personal records of how much they grow each week. This is a great idea!
St. Mary's Catholic Primary School: It has been quite sunny this week and we haven't had a lot of rain.
Many thanks
Professor Plant
Has anyone spotted spring?
After all the snow and freezing temperatures, today seems almost hot in Cardiff at 10 degrees Celsius. My bulbs must have noticed too - because they have already started to grow! It really cheered me up to see some life returning to my garden!
Ysgol Porth Y Felin reported: "Now the snow has cleared we can see that the plants are growing. It is getting warmer!" Excellent news! Let me know if the bulbs in your school have started to grow or if you have seen any other signs of spring locally? Send me photographs if you have any.
At this time of year all schools taking part in this spring bulb investigation should be busy collecting weather records for a chance to win a trip and checking your bulbs daily for signs of growth. Please use the resources below to be sure to know what you are looking for and how to record properly.

My favourite question of the week comes from Bishop Childs C.I.W Primary. They asked: "If you plant your bulb at the same time as your partner will they open their flowers at the same time?" Let me know what you think the answer is and I will reveal next week....
Lots of rain & floods. Unfortunately, many areas of Wales are now suffering with floods, including our museum at St Fagans. Maesycwmmer Primary School reported that they have had "A very wet week!" with over 100mm of rain in one day. Take a look at our recent weather reports sent in from schools to see how much rain they are getting.
Across the world, many countries are suffering very badly from flooding. In Brazil, Australia and Sri Lanka floods have affected the lives of many people. Although you can't make a direct link between the recent floods and climate change, they do hold a warning for the future: Scientists predict such extreme weather events will increase both in intensity and frequency as the planet warms.
This is why the work that each spring bulb school is doing is so important - so please keep up the good work!

• "Someday, Someday, Maybe," by Lauren Graham. Copyright 2013, Ballantine Books, 340 pages
Aspiring actress Franny Banks has just six months left of the three-year deadline she set for herself when she moved to New York in 1992.
Three years, she thought, would give her plenty of time to find an agent, land a few auditions and kickstart her Broadway career. In two and a half years, she has managed to secure a waitressing job, a starring role in an ugly Christmas sweater commercial, and a spot in John Stavros' acting class.
With her deadline looming, things are finally looking up. Her acting class showcase performance leads to meetings with two potential agents, she films one national television commercial, and James Franklin, the most successful actor in her class, asks for her phone number.
Franny signs with Joe Melville at Absolute Artists, because he secures a job for her at their first meeting — a very small part with no actual lines of dialogue, but a paying role nonetheless. Of course, to accept the role, Franny must give $1,000 to join the SGA. She swallows her pride and borrows the money from her dad, confident that it's a worthwhile investment in her career.
Unfortunately, the auditions dry up while the ink on her contract is still wet. As her checking account balance dwindles, Franny takes on extra catering jobs. With the support and encouragement of her roommates, Dan and Jane, Franny remains confident that things are going to turn around soon.
In the meantime, her agent has stopped taking her calls, she can't seem to move her relationship with James Franklin from "friends with benefits" to the real deal, she's getting very mixed signals from Dan, and she's dangerously close to actually returning one of her dad's many phone calls and asking him for money — again.
With her final six months drawing to a close, Franny must decide whether to honor her original deadline and go home, or stay in New York and pursue her dream a little longer.
I must admit that I picked up "Someday, Someday, Maybe" because I loved Lauren Graham on "The Gilmore Girls." I wasn't sure what to expect — Graham is a good actress, but that doesn't necessarily mean she can write. I was delighted to discover that she really can.
"Someday, Someday, Maybe" is a compelling, hilarious and touching story about chasing hopes and dreams in a tough business. Franny's story is so compulsively readable that I had a hard time putting it down.
Graham's characters are witty and warm, and I truly enjoyed spending time in their company. Franny is quirky and uncertain and often is her own worst stumbling block on the road to success. I found myself cheering her on while wondering how much of her story mirrors Graham's own rise to fame.
"Someday, Someday, Maybe" is the perfect summer read. It's light, funny and engaging. Stay tuned — rumor has it that Graham has signed an agreement with Warner Brothers to bring her story to the small screen. I will definitely tune in.

This is an intriguing question. I'm going to have to give it due consideration.
Do you find that the types of scents you're drawn to match other aesthetic areas in your life?
For example, modern art / architecture / music / jewelry and modern frags?
Art Deco?
Rustic / country?
etc., etc.,
Or, do your scent preferences compliment your other aesthetic bents?
I'm asking because visually I strongly prefer modern art and mid century architecture, but classic literature, music of all kinds, jewelry that is either very vintage or modern, and generally like to have visual things that are not too frilly or complicated around me. My scent preferences, on the other hand, run to the much more complex; modern frags have not been appealing to me much, which surprises me due to my preferences in other aesthetic areas of life. Do you find that is the case with you as well?
This is an intriguing question. I'm going to have to give it due consideration.
In a world where 6 million people are added each month, every landscape matters.
I can only say that my scent preferences maybe match my personality - I like a little of this and a little of that. I am all over the place...
Oh, yes.
Chypre and Oriental. Woody fragrances. All-naturals.
Art Deco and Persian rugs.
Japanese, with plenty of rocks, wood, and water.
My favorite fragrances are the venerable classics and other classically-styled scents. My taste in art, however, runs to those newfangled guys - they've started to call themselves impressionists or some such thing.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and sorry I could not travel both and be one traveler, long I stood and looked down one as far as I could to where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, ...... I shall be telling this with a sigh somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. - Robert Frost
... after some thought ... no, I guess there is no relationship. And the fact there isn't, is really remarkable. I think your question, seattlelight, is even more profound now that I know there appears to be no discernable pattern--a eureka moment . Huh. Really fascinating.
In a world where 6 million people are added each month, every landscape matters.
As a Gemini/Snake/Taoist I love whatever is in front of me at the moment. And that goes for all aspects of existence (saw the most adorable ladybug today...going about it's little business. Made me think of Moschino.).....In tai chi class, my chi partner said I smelled of freshly ironed sheets - although I was wearing Noa.
Those gorgeous, Byzantine turnip-topped Russian churches? Avignon!! But also Tabu. I love Gehry's work - Odeur 71!! The Pre-Raphs? (See Asha's Avatar!!) Libertine!! Evening on the screened-in-porch with Sweet-tea and Pynchon? L'Heure Bleu.
Musse 'n' Me - we're all over the place.
"The world is ruled by letting things take their course. It cannot be ruled by interfering." Lao Tze
What an interesting question! I'm not sure whether or not my fragrance preferences mirror my other preferences. My tastes are rather eclectic.
Architecture - I like rustic/handcrafted in natural materials and ultra-modern simplicity of line (also classicist references)
Music - As I've aged - esp. in the past ten years or so - I've been listening to jazz (but I love all genres of music)
Painting - I'm especially drawn to simplicity of line but with lush color and texture.
Jewelry - Like you I go for vintage or antique glitz or else very modern & sculptural
Fragrances - I'm all over the map - chypres, florals, gourmands, everything. My biggest latest fall in love discovery is Jicky.
I suppose I'm most attracted to simplicity and spaciousness of form or structure but with a tactility and sensuality of expression? Somebody many years ago (a sculptor) accused me of being a trendy romanticist and a boring classicist. I suppose I being disagreeable at the time. One must worship artists unconditionally. :-) But actually he was quite right. I've outgrown my trendy romanticism, but it looks like I'll always be a classicist. And I do tend to go for the classics in frags.
I don't think so.
I like heavy, sturdy, dark wood in the home (love it, and hate when it's painted over), and dark colors (rugs, drapes). I detest glass tables and really sheer drapes. I also like intricately carved wood boxes. I prefer dim lighting. I like classical and even gothic architecture. In music I love dissonance, I like several tempo changes, and random (seemingly) taps of a bow.
When it comes to perfume I insist on transparency. I also like to know what I'm getting, and don't enjoy a perfume that goes through several distinct changes...I'm not interested in the journey. I like the base- so much that I don't want to spend 45 minutes getting there. I don't much care for most classics. I like simple, uncluttered scents.
Yet, I can recognize a general aesthetic. It must be useful beyond it sensual appeal. There is space on the table to place a drink on, and even it's decoration has other purposes (books or candles). I will never have white carpet, or "museum scents", nor do I have any use for scents that must be layered and combined to be palatable.
If there is a pattern I don't think it runs across all aesthetics for me. In most things I tend to have specific artists/creators that I like the work of, this doesn't seem to hold true in scent.
Architecture- AWN Pugin, GG Scott and F Lloyd-Wright. Most Gothic Revival, early Gothic, some Classical, and Art Deco.
Art-Bauhaus, Francis Bacon, Marc Chagall, Tamara de Lempicka, Paula Rego, and Edward Hopper. Some Pre-Raphaelite and some Orthodox Russian and Greek religious art.
Music-Well my iPod must have the weirdest mix ever. Sex Pistols follow Saint-Saens, who follow Dizzee Rascal, and Billie Holiday after The Young Punx. Weird.
Literature-Weirder and even less cohesive than my music taste.
Scent-Gourmands, Orientals, violets, roses.
Good thread, it's got me pondering.

Very interesting question!
Since I've devoted my life to art history, and quite recently become very interested in the world of scents I've been thinking a lot about these things, but my thoughts are still quite blurred so I'll have to get back to you on that.
I think my taste in perfumes is quite close to my taste in interior decoration: I usually say that my super-ego has the taste of a japanese minimalist and my id the one of madame de Pompadour - and the result is a mess - but I love everything in it.
The same goes for my perfume collection I think.
Guess I'm a chamealeon (sp?) as my tastes change with my moods. This must be why I'm never completely satisfied with either the decor of my home, my clothing, or my fragrance!!! Like Quarry ~ I'm having a 'eureka moment'!
Leffleur, I'm your opposite in regard to aesthetics and frags.
I think there is something personally enlightening here, but I'm not sure yet what it is.
visual simplicity but complex, baroque fragrances ... I really don't know where I'm going with this...but I am enjoying reading about all of you!
I don't know about tastes in terms of specific periods and styles, but I have noticed that certain general aesthetics align. For instance, I'm always drawn to colors that are shades of reds, pinks, purples, browns, and muted greens. I think many of the fragrances I love would "translate" into these colors. I also tend to like things visually that are rustic, natural, textured, earthy (but in a spare, well-designed way, not in a hippie kind of way), and I can see similarities in notes I like: hay, tobacco, leather, vetiver, rose, iris. Of course, that's just in general; I also like plenty of scents that fall into different categories.
I have been thinking about this one--great thread!
My aesthetic tastes are ecclectic, with a tendency toward refined roughness or naturalness, also known as "Wabi Sabi" in Japanese art and culture.
In decorating, I combine spare furniture lines, lush rugs and dark woods. Window treatments are very minimal. I love Arts and Crafts fabric patterns (Morris) and Craftsman architecture and furniture (Stickley, Ellis). I have a lot of books, so bookshelves also figure prominently.
In art, I tend to like very modern, abstract or non-representational work. I also love the masters (Rembrandt, Michelangelo), fine craft objets d'art, antique (i.e. rusty) tools and antique hand-painted pottery/china.
I tend to gravitate toward classic perfumes which transcend time, and also am most attracted to orientals, ambers, musks and all-natural or home-made scents. However, I have more than my fair share of very modern "cheapies" (I love cheap thrills, so exciting!) and a few other diverse scents.
As Taolady mentioned, there is something very pleasing about being open to what is available, and so I will at least *try* things which do not fall within my aesthetic. It is always very enjoyable to try something new--it really stretches me and allows me to appreciate new things I might not have otherwise.
This is a great thread - it's really got me thinking.
I do find I surprise myself. I think I'm one way (gothic, Arts and Crafts Victoriana) but then I look around my home and it's not like that (all-white walls, wood floors, mix of modern and antiques but all fairly clean lines and designed for purpose - our sofa is comfortable and yes, there's room on the tables to put a drink down). The same goes for my perfume collection - I've been astonished to find JC Ellena is my 'dream nose', when I thought I was a straight-up oriental voluptuist.
As far as art goes, I have a soft spot for etchings but I'm not hung up on any particular style. I do like pictures of trees though.
And I like wood in my home. And leather, linen, cotton, sheepskin, wool...
Very thought provoking. I'm going to go and stand in front of my fragrance collection and see if they make me think of art or eras...
Brilliant thread Seattlelight!

Thank you for the responses - I am finding this extremely interesting.
I wonder if we would generally agree about what fragrances fall under what "aesthetics category"? For example, would Shalimar suggest "Renaissance" or some other such category to most of us?
It is interesting to me how texture has figured into some responses. Perhaps perfume is like a texture for the nose?
Asha - that's what I was wondering as well - olfactory texture but doesn't visually clutter things up.
I had a drawing class which was based on the book "Drawing from the Artist Within". The gist is that artists don't always draw based on the visual perception (even though that is central to visual art). Exercises were done to engage other senses in the context of drawing. It was interesting to see how each student responded, and how each person's style was primarily based in one of the types of sensing activities.
I have also wondered about why certain people are more drawn to music versus visual art, for example...or dance. How does each person experience the "art"? I think scent is really just another category in this list of sensory appreciation, so this thread really hits the target for me.
Great thread!
I would agree with the "textures for the nose" comment. Given how you interact with senses, and how illumination of a scent may trigger other senses and sense memories ... it definitely could be art and sometimes the most profound.
I tried Joy Parfum for the first time - and the baroque richness triggered a sense of the room filled with flowers, white flowers crammed into every nook and cranny of the room I was in. Wonderful! Also, CdG Odeur 53 and 71 both gave me a sense of electonics and dusty circuit boards in a dry dry room ...
All of it has an "art" response in me that I get when at art museums. Hard to explain, really, but thats all how I can explain it.

The experience of visualizing while experiencing a scent - that's a gift. That doesn't happen to me and how I wish it would. I just get a "feeling" / an intuition - totally abstract - and I have to struggle to come up with anything concrete; frequently, I just can't relate it to anything concrete.
Very interesting and thought-provoking thread. For me, it seemed at first that there was no relationship - until I realized that (and this is very geeky) I needed to match up whether the fragrance or the art was "input" or "output". For instance, I like to appreciate all kinds of art, from quiet and ancient to loud and modern, and I like to smell all kinds of fragrances on other people. In my own case, however, I feel very strongly in using only fragrances which match my mood. Likewise, in terms of decor, writing, or even personal grooming (all of which are about as far as I go with art), I cannot do what my mood is not giving me at that moment. However, that can vary quite a bit.
So, surprisingly, the answer is yes, they match, but not in the way I originally thought they might match!
Great question & thread discussion.
I don't want to limit myself to any one style!
However, there is a cluster of things which hangs together well, and I'm totally pre-disposed to like such things. They still have to be good quality, but the mere fact that they fit in this cluster gets my radar going.
Mediterranean culture, ancient and modern. Art, history, literature
Mediterranean cuisine
So I'm a sucker for Greco-Roman themed fragrances. And anything in a herbal-lemon chypre style (which is how I like to think of such times) is my basic sort of go-to scent.

In architecture, Frank Lloyd Wrights' Usonian period, his protege, Fay Jones, Bauhaus, Craftsman style bungaloes,Post and Beam and Adirondack Log homes. Let's also toss in golf, sailing, the art of a mahogany Chris Craft barrell back, automobile road racing, fine wine, great food. The preference of a Corvette over a BMW, a Jag over an Aston Martin, an FX 50 over a Cayenne, and the most beautiful car ever...the Lamborghini Miura. If you know of a frag or two that will match up, please send word to me, I'd love to know.

This is a *really* interesting thread. I'm glad a couple of you brought this back to the surface!
For me, I think, it's all about balance and harmony of elements. This applies to music, visual art, writing, architecture, and yes -- fragrance. A composition of any kind can be simple or complex, spare or lush, but for it to appeal to me, it has to be put together really well.
Am I talking about structure vs. content? I don't know. Time for bed!
An interesting question.
I am a fan of soliflore fragrances and I love Georgia O'Keeffe's huge flowers! I never saw the connection before.
Also I love violets fragrances, and collect a variety of vintage teacups and teapots (and related porcelain items) with violets transfers....I have well over 50 at last count so they are a significant decor item for me in kitchen and dining room.
Yes in the sense that I am not restrictive to a single genre. From Bach to Eminem. From Raphael to Pollock. From leau dIssey musk to knize Ten.

Oh, this thread is making me wish the contest for best thread on Basenotes was still open!
Definitely interesting.
As for myself.. as I'm still exploring my tastes in fragrance, I wouldn't consider this a definitive comparison.
In architecture, I am drawn to Art Deco building and Amsterdamse School (Berlage), but also innovative modern architecture /and/ Gothic cathedrals. In interior design, I go for light colours and woods, especially cherry wood or rosewood, mixed with silver metals and bright accents or distinctive patterns on walls - Scandavian and Dutch design are my weaknesses: I love the austerity and innovation of many pieces.
In art, I have a strong preference for figurative painting, with a special interest in neoclassicism (Alma Tadema) and Art Nouveau/Art Déco - Tamara de Lempicka, Toulouse-Lautrec... Apart from that, I love artisanal art: glasswork (Lalique, Daume...), Art Deco furniture, and antique jewelry. My tastes in jewelry run from magpie-esque glittery show pieces to blatantly 80s vibrant coloured plastic to subtle and airy modern silver.
In music, I'm an omnivore. I love campy Broadway musicals, the Beatles, acid jazz and triphop, soul - vintage and modern, jazz & blues, classic opera, flamenco, reggaeton & dancehall, minimal techno, Dutch pop und so weiter. Literature.. likewise. I wouldn't know where to begin categorizing.
In fragrance, I tend towards the modern "watercolour sketch" style of JC Ellena and Olivia Giacobetti, eschewing the classic, big, opulent perfumes. On the other hand, I do love spices in perfume, especially ginger. Non-sweet vanillas and ambers go down very well with me, as do incenses.
So it looks as though I rather "fit": sheer, modern perfumes for my modern taste! Too bad Art-Deco period perfumes aren't exactly right for me, though.
Definitely an interesting thread! It has made me think hard about my
tastes in architecture/art/music and I have realised that I like clean, lines,
uncluttered spaces and Georgian architecture, impressionism (in art) and am all over the
place music-wise (Bach, Faure, Rachmaninov, Bruce Springsteen, Beatles
and Rutter) it just has to move me. I prefer organ, cello and choral works to
symphonies and quartets.As regards jewellery, I like simple platinum/white gold rings
necklaces and bracelets.
I think my preferences in scent are for Jean-Claude Ellena transparency, Lutens lushness
and "cerebral" perfumes like Divine and Eau d'Italie. I am full of contradictions!!

What a fabulous thread.
I like the idea that there could be a match, but in my case, it'd have to be a pretty elusive one.
Let's see. I hadn't realised how typically Finnish I was in certain aspects of my preferences until I'd lived in UK for a good few years. For example: functional items should be primarily well designed for their intended function and aesthetically pleasing as only a secondary priority. The two shouldn't compete and frivolity shouldn't dominate.
With that realisation out of the way, came another one: I'm perhaps a-typically (for a Finn) attracted to certain frivolity, but in certain areas only. I would happily have a "pointless" scatter cushion with a decorative pattern. I've accumulated a number of very silly things (plastic toys and goodness knows what) over the years and they happily live in my tiny flat along with all the other stuff.
Mainly, I love bold colours, illustrated patterns and clever things. I enjoy some of the more sombre and even imposing forms in nature, art and architecture. Some of my favourite things are big, oily machines (like old steam engines and tractors), frighteningly old and tall trees and mythical beasts. I'm attracted to whimsy, but get a bit put off by excessive sentimentality.
What about perfume? Thinking about this topic has made me realise that I don't think of perfume as a functional thing at all. It is about as frivolous as you get. And that means my tastes in perfume are like all the colours in the box and I get to play outside the lines and everything - no restrictions! By frivolity I really do mean "not essential for survival" (which is how I've used the term when mentally trying to build a picture of a typically Finnish attitude. Frivolity = death because it wastes important resources).
To think that I don't consider perfume essential for survival! Yet I'm obsessed by it. Hah.
Very nice thread indeed.
This is such an interesting question. I wish I had an answer. I don't know.
Maybe places are more evocative of scents than architecture.The Mediterranean evokes the herbal & citrus, the cedar etc. The Africas bring forth the spices,Northern Europe,the pines & fresh water. Each place has its own perfume & these in turn become our memories.I have some fond memories of childhood in the smell of bread, pine needles,damp forest earth and my Grandma smelling of Shocking de Schiaparelli!!

19. Drain boils: Cover a boil with wet tea bag overnight, and it should drain painlessly.
20. Soothe blisters: Hot teabags are also rumored to draw out infections when left on fever blisters and canker sores.
21. Dry poison ivy rash Dry a weepy poison ivy rash with strongly brewed tea. Simply dip a cotton ball into the tea, dab it on the affected area, and let it air-dry. Repeat as needed.
22. Save a broken fingernail: To salvage a partially broken fingernail, use a piece of mesh tea bag to create a splint of sorts between the nail and the broken piece. Coat in nail polish.
23. Make soap: Tea is a useful addition when making glycerin soap. The texture and scent can help make the soap smell and cleanse better.
24.Help recover from injections: A wet teabag on an injection site can be soothing, for babies or adults.
25. Soothe bleeding gums: For an older child who loses a tooth, try putting a cold, wet teabag in the mouth where the tooth was lost. It can reduce bleeding and soothe pain.
26. Make mouthwash: Similarly, toothaches and other mouth pain can be soothed with a rinse of antiseptic peppermint tea mixed with a little salt.
27. Shine dry hair: Brewed tea makes a good conditioner for dry hair. Rinse with (unsweetened) tea and leave to dry for a while, then rinse again with water.
