Most Amouages and Histoires de Parfums (at least the few of each I own) have crazy projection and longevity. I'm not allowed to wear 1740 to work ever again.
noticed another thread about "Inexpensive strong fragrances"
but i wan't to take away that limit and ask the community to give me their STRONGEST performers
we are talking Le Male and A* Men, Tom Ford etc.
Stuff that engulfs the room and strangles out any other fragrances.
Also seen as i have given a couple examples already, I want you to dig deep and find fragrances that are heavy hitters and blast off the skin and last a long time that you know personally and some of us may not know.
so go for it: Give me your heavy hitters your work horses, your show offs and attention seekers!
What do you feel is the fragrance with the best performance?
thanks chaps! George.
Current Signature scent: Chanel Allure Home Sport
Most Amouages and Histoires de Parfums (at least the few of each I own) have crazy projection and longevity. I'm not allowed to wear 1740 to work ever again.
Also of course forgot to mention "Fahrenheit"
Current Signature scent: Chanel Allure Home Sport
Chamade by Guerlain
Givenchy Play Intense. I sprayed twice in the morning, three hours later a friend asked how much cologne I had sprayed. Needless to say the juice is super strong and not for the faint of heart. If I'm looking for people to notice what I'm wearing, Play Intense is my go-to.
Formidable Homme
Had an epic experience with Windsor over the weekend. Put 3 sprays on (one on chest and one each side of neck) an 6:30pm friday night and could still smell it sunday night into monday morning. Thats after 2 showers too. Actually still got whiffs of the eucalyptus until midday monday which is mind blowing . Awesome experience for a first wear. I've gotten 24+ hours out of a few frags (Puredistance, Leather Oud, Le Male) but never 60+
Montale Black Aoud is some pretty strong stuff, as is Bond's Riverside Drive.

I think many Montales will be put into this category I.e. Black Aoud.
Byredo Pulp is pretty beastly and so are some Mancera fragrances, Sand Aoud and The Aoud being two of them specifically. Bogart pour Homme strong as well.
Bogart Pour Homme
One Man Show
Encre Noire (It seems to be so powerful on my skin but most don't have this experience)
+1 on the Bogart line. I'll add Blue Amber by Montale. The longevity is insane.
armani code can be smelled for days, as for projection JOOP crazy loud,
Fleur du Male
Joop! Homme
Bogart pour homme
Le Male
Terre d'Hermes
Honorable mentions/purported ones that need more testing by me:
Green Irish Tweed
Ambre Russe
Platinum Egoiste
Opium ph (edt)

Amen for me.... I wish I liked it, cuz holy fuck its ridiculous.... I seriously put it on one day and it woke up me up from my sleep and was "like who the fuck is cooking brownies....... oh its me." Ive gotten 10 hours just with the top note of that nasty tar with this stuff before. Its insane. Again if only liked it sigh....

Prada Amber on my skin go's for about 24 hrs.. Less Is more on this one with out a doubt. Two sprays should be more than enough......stuff Is potent....but a high quailty product to be sure.
Aramis JHL.
Wow, I wonder how many people claim that Black Aoud is so strong. Ok, it's not weak, but it's not insanely strong imo. The longest lasting scent I know is sables by Annick Goutal. It's quite strong, but I don't think it is room filling. How ironic knowing that most Goutals are rather faint and short-lived.
Oddly, Boss Bottled. I have no idea why, but Boss #6 gets crazy longevity on me. Too bad I don't like it.
My skin chemistry must be really odd because A*Men doesn't last particularly long on me. Le Male is strangely gone in 3-4 hours. On the other hand, there are a lot of woody fragrances that go all day on my skin.
Of those what i own (not in any special order):
Bijan for men
Chanel Antaeus
Rochas Macassar
YSL Kouros
"Le parfum est la musique du corps"
(Marcel Rochas)
These both last forever and project on my skin:
HdP 1740
FM Carnal Flower
FM Portrait of a Lady
MFK Absolue pour le Soir
Tom Ford Amber Absolute
SSS Tabac Aurea
Bond NY Oud
My skin eats most scents. FM Bois d'Orage is gone in about 30 minutes, and Nasomatto Duro is a tame puppy on my skin.
I agree with NY Oud and TF AA -- those are very long lasting.
Seasonal favorites:
1. Xerjoff - Nio

10. Clive Christian - 1872 for Men
Poison (Dior). Some years ago, I applied a bit after showering before I went to bed. The next morning I had a class at 12 and everyone was sniffing it. I felt so self-conscious lol
+1 for Poison. Adding Opium, Obsession & Youth Dew, none of which l like.
Of those l do like; l agree with Amber Absolute & Ambra Mediterranea, as well as most Montales. Also Fracas & Alien.
"What is this secret connection between the soul, and sea, clouds and perfumes? The soul itself appears to be sea, cloud and perfume..." - from Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis.
Yes, Opium would be long lasting - but my soap & water along with a strong scrubbing kept it from lasting more than 30 minutes.
Seasonal favorites:
1. Xerjoff - Nio
2. Creed - Aventus
3. Tom Ford - Grey Vetiver
4. The Different Company - De Bachmakov
5. Dior - Homme Sport 2008
6. Montale - Aoud Legacy
7. Creed - Virgin Island Water
8. by Kilian - Straight to Heaven
9. Creed - Original Cologne
10. Clive Christian - 1872 for Men
Gucci Pour Homme ii and Tommy Bahama Set Sails St. Barts last through a shower and the night into the next morning - but have little to no projection on me. And some of the biggest projectors dissipate far before it's convenient for them to do so. Go figure.
Another +1 for Joop! You shouldn't be aloud to come in contact with another human until 1 hour has passed after applying this stuff.
The strongest, longest lasting perfume I ever had was "Sandal". It was an Indian hanky perfume. I don't think that it was meant to be worn on the skin, but the lady that gave it to me wore it on her skin and it smells sooooo amazing on her. When you walk on the 3rd floor, you can always tell if she is working because you can smell her perfume as soon as you get off the elevator. It lasts a long time on the skin also. You can take a shower and still smell hints of it afterwards. Same applies when you wash the clothes you wore with the perfume. You can still smell it in your clothes after a wash or 2.
Diva is fartin in your perfume mist before you walk through it!! Walk slow and let it marinate......

As you mentioned above, Le Male is a killer.
Tom Ford's Black Orchid lasts forever and can really project. If you're leary about wearing a frag marketed toward women go with Jaipur Homme EDP - it lasts all day and can fill the room if you put more than 2 sprays. But you have to buy the EDP to get the projection and longevity. Also, try some of the classic 80's fragrances - alot of "loud" ones there!
----- People laugh at me because I'm different.... I laugh at them because they're all the same -----
Nothing lasts more than the faintest trace beyond 6 hours. I mean, you would literally have to stick your nose on my wrist to smell it, even if I have 4-5 sprays on. This includes heavy hitters like Fracas, tobacco vanille and SDV. I have very, very dry skin. Lotion helps- but not as much as I would like.
It's not olfactory fatigue either. I've asked a lot of people, they can't smell it either (until they are 0.5 cm from my skin). Im currently wearing 12 sprays of acqua di parma. Lol.
That's why I chose scentsucker as my username.
Two more to add to the list: Chrome by Azzaro. It's inexpensive, easy to get your hands on, and a few sprays will fill the room and stay on you all day. And, my favorite "performer": Winter Star by Michael Storer. I seriously only "spittle" this onto my skin. I don't even give myself a full spray. A tiny bit of it on each arm - less than half a spray and I'm good. Give it a full spray on each arm and you will anounce your presence the second you walk through the door. This is good stuff indeed.

Westinghouse showed up to CES with this bad boy: a 110-inch 4K Ultra HD TV. If that blows your mind, the price tag might stop your heart. It'll be a "made-to-order" product, expected to retail for $300,000.
It's probably safe to say they'll sell a few, but the line won't be forming around the block for this one. Instead, Westinghouse also announced three other 4K Ultra HD models for "the rest of us", starting at $2500 on up to $4,000. They'll be available before the end of March (at the latest) in 50, 55, and 65-inch sizes.
Westinghouse says the 110-inch panel for their mega monster screen is the same one Samsung uses in their 84-inch 4K Ultra HD TV. Dante from The Verge checked it out in-person and was surprisingly impressed. After, of course, he picked his jaw up off the ground and wiped the drool from his chin.
If you were the lucky, proud new owner of this behemoth of a TV, what would you play or watch on it first? Let me know on Twitter: @mbchp.
You should follow Mike on Twitter for more great tech insights and good conversation. If Twitter isn't your thing, fear not, you can always keep up with Mike on his personal blog as well at: www.MikeBeauchamp.me or on Facebook.

|Sam Fuld and Joel Peralta of the Tampa Bay Rays Vist All Children's Hospital
Joined by teammate and standout reliever Joel Peralta, the two Rays made their way along several floors to brighten the day for sick youngsters - one of several scheduled trips this season by the Rays in conjunction with Sagicor, a financial services company and corporate sponsor of the team.
The players, accompanied by team mascot Raymond, handed out signed player cards and pillow-like baseballs and made friendly conversation at each stop. That was an especially big hit with a 5-year-old girl named Madison. She played a lively game of catch with Fuld, her grandmother and Raymond, who pretended to be knocked to the ground by one of her throws.
"Can you guys stay for a few more minutes?" Madison implored as the visit began to wrap up.
"How about three more tosses?" Fuld said, smiling. "How about five?" Madison responded, promptly winging the ball back to the swift outfielder.
"You've got a good arm - you're a future ballplayer!" Fuld responded.
Children weren't the only ones excited by the presence of the players. A steady stream of parents and staff introduced themselves to the two popular Rays - with Fuld getting plenty of attention for belting his second homer of the season Monday night in a 4-1 win over Toronto, a shot that capped a trio of consecutive blasts that began with homers by James Loney and rookie Wil Meyers.
Fuld is a familiar presence at All Children's. Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 10, he has made it a mission to help children and families dealing with the condition. In that role, he has served as the keynote speaker the past two years at the All Children's Diabetes Family Day. But he has also been a regular visitor on room tours like the one Tuesday.
"It's part of what we do here with the Rays," he said. "We try to do as much as we can here in the community. And it's for a great cause. It means a lot and it puts things in perspective. No matter how bad things might be going on the field, this really makes you aware of what matters. And it just means a lot to me to provide any kind of uplifting experience for the kids here."

OXFORD, Ohio-The Miami University men's basketball team stuck with the visiting Ball State Cardinals (8-10, 2-4 Mid-American Conference) for the first half, but the RedHawks (7-11, 2-4 MAC) couldn't overcome a nearly 70 percent-second-half shooting effort from their foes en route to an 82-62 loss at Millett Hall on Saturday.
Three-pointers ruled the opening minutes of the game, with four of the first five made baskets coming from long range. All of those treys led to Ball State jumping out to a 9-5 lead. A pair of free throws from junior guard Allen Roberts cut the deficit to two and, minutes later, freshman guard Reggie Johnson nailed a three to give Miami its first lead of the game.
The back-and-forth nature of the game continued, with five lead changes and two ties occurring in the next five minutes of game time, leading to a 22-22 tie with seven and a half minutes left in the half. Ball State's Chris Bond broke the tie to give the Cardinals their lead back, but junior forward Jon Harris answered right back with a bucket of his own to knot the score at 24-24. Junior guard Quinten Rollins put the RedHawks in front with two free throws, only to have Bond come right back with a trey to give Ball State a 27-26 lead.
The Cardinals' lead didn't last long, as sophomore guard Will Sullivan nailed a three to put Miami up by two. Those points, however, would be the RedHawks' last of the half. Ball State closed out the last few minutes with five unanswered points to head into halftime with a 34-29 lead.
Jesse Berry of the Cardinals led all scorers in the first half with 12 points, all of which coming from behind the arc. Miami had a balanced scoring effort in the opening half with three players tied with five points apiece: junior center Drew McGhee, junior forward Will Felder and Harris.
Miami came out firing for the second half, scoring seven of the first nine points to tie the game at 36-36. The stalemate didn't last long, though, as Ball State went on a 10-3 run to take a 46-39 lead with just over 14 minutes remaining. The RedHawks fought back to come within three, 53-50, but Ball State's shooting proved to be too much to handle. The Cardinals exploded for a 17-4 run that put the game firmly in their grasp.
Four Cardinals scored in double figures, led by Majok Majok's 21 points. Berry added 20, while Bond and Jauwan Scaife chipped in 16 and 14 points, respectively. Majok also led all players with eight rebounds.
Felder paced the RedHawks with 14 points, his ninth consecutive double-figure scoring game. Rollins chipped in a season-high 12 points, while freshman guard Reggie Johnson notched 10 points.
Miami rounds out a three-game home stretch hosting Western Michigan at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 30.

WHITMIRE — An account has been set up at First Citizens in Whitmire for the family of 9-year-old Bennett Dalton, the Whitmire youth who died Monday night after being hit by a tractor-trailer while on his bicycle.
Newberry County Coroner Craig Newton said Dalton was treated at the scene of the accident at Church and Odell streets and then airlifted to Palmetto Richland for further treatment. The youth died at 9:09 p.m., Newton said. The accident occurred around 6:30 p.m.
"This is truly a tragic loss for this family and community," Newton said. "Our prayers are with Bennetts' loved ones and friends during this very difficult time."
Whitmire councilman Michael Thomas set up the account to help the family with hospital bills, medical expenses and funeral expenses. People can also drop by the bank to write sympathy notes for the family.
The S.C. Highway Patrol said the collision happened on Church Street near Joe's Market. The youth was leaving his driveway and was headed south when he was struck by a tractor trailer headed west on Church Street. The youth was not wearing a helmet.
The driver of the tractor trailer was not injured.
The accident remains under investigation by the S.C. Highway Patrol, Whitmire City Police, Newberry County Sheriff's Department and the Newberry County Coroner's Office.

Hi Paul,
Great tutorial indeed
This makes me really want to try Grape.
Few things here, do we need public modifiers around? Or you just put them there to make the code more familiar to Java's guys
if you are behind a proxy you will need to tell Groovy so Grape can fetch your dependencies

As you may have already heard, Zero Hour has been cancelled by ABC after only three episodes. The news doesn't come as a surprise as the debut represented ABC's worst scripted premiere in the history of their regular seasons. The numbers for episodes two and three were even worse.
Still, there were at least five million or so people who made a point of watching Zero Hour each week. They're understandably upset about the cancellation news — as are members of the cast.
Addison Timlin (Rachel): "The end of zerohour brings me great sadness, but every ending is a new beginning and that is always laced with hope. Thank you all, truly." "What to the world was just 3 episodes was a whole year for us. Truly an honor to know, work with and love you, to everyone on the team. Xo"
Jacinda Barrett (Laila): agreed with Timlin's second statement and added, "couldn't have said it better. Xxxx"
Carmen Ejogo (Beck): "In a NY minute everything can change In a NY minute things can get a little strange" "#nomorezerohour I guess that means I can start watching American Idol again. #alwayslookonthebrightsideoflife" "I believe process is often more important than outcome. I had the BEST time making @ZeroHour_ABC with everyone all year, so #noregretsbaby"
Scott Michael Foster (Aaron): "I absolutely loved #ZeroHour and everyone who worked on it. Will miss filming one of the coolest and enjoyable shows I've been on." "To all my wonderful twitter followers, you make the hard part of this job so much easier with your kind words and support. Thank you."
What do you think? What was your reaction to Zero Hour being cancelled? What did you think of the work of the show's cast and crew?

The Vertical Brain Cell, like the Horizontal Brain Cell, provides superior hard-sided protection for your laptop. The construction offers the toughest protection you can get for your laptop in a case that is still light and minimalist. Your laptop will be protected from every angle.
Inside the Vertical Brain Cell, your laptop hangs suspended, cradled in a sling of 10 mm (3/8") thick, soft foam padding inside a 4 mm thick, hard corrugated plastic shell that protects from the front, back, and bottom. Below the padded sling, fixed to the bottom of the corrugated plastic shell, is a 12 mm thick strip of memory foam (manufactured to our specifications in the U.S.A.). This memory foam acts as an extra layer of cushion as well as an effective shock absorber. The sides of the Vertical Brain Cell are protected by 6 mm (1/4") of dense cross-linked closed-cell polyethylene foam. The case closes on the top, like a cereal box, with two padded flaps that seal with Aplix® strips (like Velcro®, only longer-lasting).
The Vertical Brain Cell is designed specifically for use inside two of our backpacks — the Smart Alec and the Brain Bag, which come with removable clips that secure the Vertical Brain Cell in place. If you already have a favorite backpack, chances are the Vertical Brain Cell will fit inside it. Be sure to view our Laptop Bag Fit Guide, which lists the interior and exterior dimensions of each size of the Vertical Brain Cell, and compare the exterior dimensions of the Vertical Brain Cell to the interior dimensions of your backpack to make sure it will fit.
The Vertical Brain Cell has two front mesh pockets (designed to fit your power supply and other small accessories) as well as attachments for a shoulder strap, allowing you to use it as a stand-alone laptop bag.
We offer two different shoulder straps that can be used with the Vertical Brain Cell: the Simple Shoulder Strap, a great choice for those who carry smaller, lighter laptops, and the Absolute Shoulder Strap, which offers the ultimate combination of a nonslip underside with the comfort of neoprene and an internal control-stretch system: a layer of elastic is sandwiched between layers of neoprene foam — the elastic controls the stretch.
The Vertical Brain Cell comes in multiple sizes to fit a wide range of laptops: four sizes designed specifically for Apple laptops (Size 4Z = 15" MacBook Pro, Size 6Z = 13" MacBook Pro, Size 1 = 17" MacBook Pro) and multiple different sizes for PC laptops. We recommend using our Laptop Bag Fit Guide to determine which size of Vertical Brain Cell you need for your laptop. If you can't find your laptop in our Laptop Bag Fit Guide, or if you have further questions, feel free to email or call us.
Please note: In order to get the most laptop protection from the Vertical Brain Cell, it must be carried in the vertical (portrait) position. Therefore, it is best to use this bag with the Smart Alec, Brain Bag, or your current backpack. If you require a protective laptop case to use with a briefcase or messenger bag, in a horizontal (landscape) position, please see our Horizontal Brain Cell.

Brain Cell for MacBook Pro 15.4
"I bought the Brain Cell with one thing in mind - protecting my investment. I'm by no means a rich man, so when I spend three grand on a notebook, I'm going to do whatever I can to keep it safe. After an exhausting search on countless review sites and forums, it was clear to me that the Brain Cell was leading the pack in notebook sleeves. The stiff corrugated plastic inserts and the internal foam sling combine to give this case a rugged, yet extremely lightweight feel. Sliding your hand inside the case to feel the cushy 8mm foam immediately dispels your fears of scratching the notebook's exterior. On the outside, the tough 500 denier Cordura shell feels (and IS) extremely resilient. I've only had mine a month and it's already weathered some sharp corners and edges without leaving a mark. The real beauty of this bag however is in the internal foam sling design. It works like the shock absorber on a car absorbing the impact of drops and falls with the bottom layer of plastic while keeping the notebook safely suspended inside." — posted by brown

APNewsBreak: Afghan massacre trial set for Sept.
Thursday - 1/31/2013, 3:34pm EST
By GENE JOHNSON
Associated Press
SEATTLE (AP) - A military judge has scheduled a Sept. 3 court martial for Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, the U.S. soldier accused of massacring 16 Afghan villagers during nighttime raids last year, his lawyer said Thursday.
Civilian attorney John Henry Browne told The Associated Press that the date is too soon to give the defense team time to prepare, and they will ask the judge to reconsider. Browne had sought a trial in mid-2014.
"It's a very unrealistic trial date for us," Browne said.
Bales faces 16 counts of premeditated murder and six counts of attempted murder. He slipped away from his base in southern Afghanistan early March 11 to attack two nearby villages and returned covered in blood, prosecutors say. Most of the victims were women and children.
The Army is seeking the death penalty. Lt. Col. Gary Dangerfield, a spokesman at Joint Base Lewis-McChord south of Seattle, where Bales was based and where he is being held, said he could not immediately confirm the trial date.
Browne said the judge has scheduled questioning of potential jurors to begin Aug. 19, and dates for pre-trial motions to be filed and argued April 23-26 and June 4-7.
Browne and co-counsel Emma Scanlan have each traveled to Afghanistan to investigate the case, but Browne insists another trip by at least one member of the defense team would be necessary before the trial.
One hurdle to that is financial, he said. He has repeatedly noted that his firm is working for Bales for free _ Bales also has appointed military defense counsel.
If Browne can't raise the money for another trip to Afghanistan, he said, his firm might have to withdraw from the case _ which, he noted, could set the trial back more than a year.

Campus Ministry Hosts First Ever Jingle Bell 5K
Earlier this month, students, faculty and staff—as well as members of the local community—participated in the first ever Jingle Bell 5K held at Marywood.
More than 200 participants ran or walked the 3.1 mile course.
Ann O'Brien, assistant director for service-learning and community service, who coordinated this year's event, says that the success of the race far surpassed her expectations.
"Our intention was to have a fun event at the end of the semester for students as a stress-buster," O'Brien says. "But it became more than that. The number of people who showed up that day blew us away."
Participants showed their holiday spirit, dressing as Mrs. Claus, Christmas presents, reindeer, elves and more. Awards were given after the race, and a costume and holiday spirit contest was held.
Race proceeds will benefit the university's student service trips to various locations including: Washington D.C., West Virginia, Guatemala, Mississippi and Louisiana.
Inspired by the overwhelming reception of the race, O'Brien says she hopes to make the Jingle Bell 5K an annual event.
"This sort of thing gives us a boost, and it was an opportunity to show the community who we are and what we are about," O'Brien explained. "I want to do this year after year, and I hope this race is the first of many."

New album: Push and Shove
Artist: No Doubt
Label: Interscope
Rating: 2.5 stars out of 5
No Doubt hasn't released an album of new material since 2001. "Push and Shove" may be attributed to No Doubt, but it sounds more like a continuation of lead singer Gwen Stefani's successful solo career.
The pop world has changed immensely since No Doubt released "Rock Steady" in 2001 — which itself was a glossier affair than the band's previous efforts. "Push and Shove" for the most part eschews the band's trademark pop/ska sound in order to make way for shinier, radio-friendly tunes. Sadly, No Doubt drummer Adrian Young's impressive musicality is mostly buried beneath layers of keyboards, treated drums and drum machines.
Unquestionably, the highlight of this collection is the song "Push and Shove." Adrian Young is frustratingly kept under control while a tepid computer beat pulses along, but the vocal hooks and choice reggae guitar shapes almost make up for this oversight.
Restraint can be a virtue when it comes to music, but relegating Young to intermittent drum fills instead of turning him loose on this song is borderline criminal. Sometimes criticized for having a limited range, Stefani's singing is still impressively nimble. Her performance on "Push and Shove" recalls the command she had on previous hits such as "Hella Good" and "Don't Speak."
"Settle Down" was supposedly the single that would pull the masses into the record, but the decision to use this track to reintroduce the band to the world ranks right up there with the time Coca Cola changed its recipe.
"Settle Down" is pleasant enough, but aside from a clever bass pattern and a few cute vocal phrases, the song leaves no impression. "Undercover" sounds like Lady Gaga sitting in with Coldplay, and the musically interesting "One More Summer is marred by lyrics straight out of an episode of the new
With "Push and Shove," No Doubt has crafted a perfectly fine collection of pop music that will undoubtedly (sorry) fare well on pop radio in 2012. Fans of the group's original sound will be left scratching their heads, while those who thought "Holla Back Girl" was the bees knees will be delighted. Figure out which camp you are in and proceed accordingly.
Classic album: Trilogy
Artist: Emerson,
Label: Rhino
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
Throughout their long and winding career, Emerson,
"Trilogy" was the third
Possibly the best known
Near the end of the track, Keith Emerson lets loose with a sparse Moog keyboard solo that sounds like a quiet storm slow jam beaming from a radio station on Mars. There are few perfect songs, but "From the Beginning" is one of them.
Elsewhere on "Trilogy,"
The other diamond in this collection is the eight-minute "Trilogy," which recalls the melancholic psychedelia of
The stomping "Living Sin" crashes in just in time to provide enough well-choreographed bluster to save the day, and the proceedings come to an end with Emerson's regal "Abbadon's Bolero."

1873 Beers Map of Jamaica Village, Queens, New York City
Description: A scarce example of Fredrick W. Beers' map of the town of Jamaica Village, Queens, New York. Published in 1873. Covers roughly from modern day Highland Avenue to Atlantic Avenue, and from Myrtle Avenue to Franklin Avenue. Detailed to the level of individual buildings and properties with land owners noted. This is probably the finest atlas map of the town of Jamaica Queens, to appear in the 19th century. Prepared by Beers, Comstock & Cline out of their office at 36 Vesey Street, New York City, for inclusion in the first published atlas of Long Island, the 1873 issue of Atlas of Long Island, New York.
Date: 1873 (undated)
Source: Atlas of Long Island, New York. From Recent Actual Surveys and Records Under the Superintendence of F. W. Beers. (1873 First Edition).
References: New York Public Library, Map Division, 1527299.
Cartographer: The Beers family (Fredrick, Silas, James and Daniel), along with Charles and Augustus Warner, were prominent map publishers working from the 1850s to the late 1880s. Often publishing under the Warner & Beers designation, the combined firms produced a series of important state and county atlases and map of much of the northeastern United States. Many of their regional maps are among the most detailed and well laid out maps ever produced of their respective regions. Because Warner & Beers county maps were often detailed down to the individual homes and landowners, they have become highly sought after by general and family historians. In additional to producing maps of surpassing detail, Warner & Beers also maintained an earlier generation's attention to detail and quality while publishing in an era ever increasingly dominated by the low cost printing methods used by the publishing empires of Rand McNally and George Cram. Click here for a list of rare maps by Warner & Beers.
Size: Printed area measures 22.5 x 17 inches (57.15 x 43.18 centimeters)
Condition: Very good condition. Original folds. Blank on verso.

Days Like These
It is days like these when we have nowhere to go and no real commitments, that I wonder why it isn't possible to be still more often. Today I declared it was a "home day". And just what is a home day? A day where we never leave home; no shoes need to be put on, no hats, scarves or gloves need to be tackled. It's a day where I stand at the window, cup of tea in hand and watch the world go by. It is a day where I enjoy simple crafts with my children, no one needing to be hurried, no one making us late. It is a day where I smell curries and soups and muffins cooking and baking, ready to nourish us through far too many busy and hurried days ahead.
It is days like these where I reflect on our choices, our dreams, our aspirations and instead of planning I think "be still". It is days like these where I accomplish our greatest goal - simplicity. It is days like these when absolutely everything else can wait and I'm reminded of a favourite poem...
Cleaning and cooking can wait 'till tomorrow
For babies grow up, as we've learned to our sorrow.
So quiet down cobwebs, dust go to sleep,
I'm rocking my baby, and babies don't keep
It is days like these, where my greatest wish for this world is for everyone to stop. Stop the negative and anxious thoughts. Stop the dash to the shops. Stop the hurried list of things to do. Stop. Stop. Stop. Be still. Be still. Be still.
I hope each person reading this soon has a plan to be still. To breathe. To relax. To be...

That's from Song for a Fifth Child by Ruth Hulburt Hamilton! It was taped to the door of my brother's room when he was a baby - he was the 5th child in our family (my parents went on to adopt 8 more kids after he was born!)

I got into the latest weekend Star Wars beta test.
I want to discuss and dissect this game so badly! There are so many interesting design points. This NDA is killing me!
Hopefully this won't get me into trouble, but here is my initial reaction to the game, in its beta state:
The Old Republic is a Bioware game. It has all the strengths of Bioware games, and all the weaknesses.

The Old Republic Beta Test
I got into the latest weekend Star Wars beta test.

Maybe you should write a bunch of posts now, while the points are fresh on your mind, then wait to publish/review them til you're legally allowed to. Just would suck to forget/be bored of all the ideas you got right now, by the time you can write about them.

I second Xaxziminrax II. It would also be interesting for you to be able to add comments about what, if anything, changes.
I look forward to seeing what you have to say.
Sadly, I'm in Asia, the NDA will be lifted long before I even get a chance to look (barring some funky proxy work).

I agree with the above, writing up your thoughts now would be good. You could even post them to the beta tester forums now (where I could read them ;) and repost them on your blog later.

How about also writing about what you liked and disliked from previous BioWare games?
Not just as a legitimate way to discuss some things without violating the NDA. But also most of the sites assume you have played several BiioWare games. I have hundreds of days played in WoW but have never played a BioWare game. So "Companion loyalty like in ..." means nothing to me.
Any insights as the the design philosophy (other than just saying story) would be much appreciated.

- stubborn said...
I was in the beta, too, so if you want to discuss it with me, I think you're allowed. I, like you, have a lot I want to say about it but am worried the longer I wait the less I'll remember. I think I'll take the advice of some of your commentators and write some things up now. You know how to find me if you want.

Let's set up a cypher for future releases this way the man won't know what you're saying.

Tulsa, Oklahoma
Tulsa is the second-largest city in the state of Oklahoma and 45th-largest city in the United States.
Once heavily dependent on the oil industry, economic downturn and subsequent diversification efforts created an economic base in the energy, finance, aviation, telecommunications and technology sectors. The Tulsa Port of Catoosa, at the head of the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System, is the most inland river port in the U.S. with access to international waterways. Two institutions of higher education within the city operate at the NCAA Division I level, Oral Roberts University and the University of Tulsa.
Corneal Disease
What is the cornea?
The cornea is the clear tissue at the front and center of the eye. Its clarity (translucence) permits light to pass into the eye, through the pupil and on to the retina at the back of the eye. ...!--*ICCChunk-1833*-->

My wife's favorites on me:
1) Aventus
2) Bleecker Street
3) Straight to Heaven
4) Turtle Vetiver Back
5) New Haarlem
Thread: Girlfriend's Favorite
Guys, what are your girlfriends' favorite scents on you? I'm not talking about the fabled "panty-dropper," Just what the lady in your life likes you to smell like?
My wife's favorites on me:
1) Aventus
2) Bleecker Street
3) Straight to Heaven
4) Turtle Vetiver Back
5) New Haarlem
My wife's favorite on me is Balafre by Lancome
Original Vetiver
Floris Santal
Habit Rouge
Eau des Baux
Roberto Cavalli Man
Opium Pour Homme
Pour Un Homme
"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
Bulgari green tea
1. Straight to Heaven
2. Armani Black Code
3. A&F Fierce (which I flatly refuse to wear)
4. Creed GIT
5. La Nuit Del'Homme
Luckily she hasn't had as much experience with GIT and La Nuit, so hopefully I can sway her opinion and knock the Abercrombie out of the list hahaha
Dior Homme Sport, Chanel Edition Blanche, Aventus.
Bvlgari pour homme Extreme
TF Grey Vetiver
Acqua di Gio
Bleu de Chanel
Musc ravageur (special occasions )
Gucci Pour Homme: loved by an ex who likes strong, manly men.
Gucci Pour Homme II: loved by an ex who is the quiet sexy librarian type.
Hanae Mori HM: loved by an ex who is fun and happy. HM is becoming my pick to wear on dates.
Overall though, the biggest compliment getters among women I've dated have been:
Curve: I suspect it's due to the musky base.
Lucky No. 6: Such an underrated scent. It's hard to not like this one.
L'Air du Desert Marocain: Specifically, I'm talking about the base it evolves into once you've been wearing it for 6+ hours. I easily get 18 hours of longevity from LDDM. I love the top, but it's the final stage that really gets me compliments.
I should also note that I've never gotten any positive unsolicited feedback from Aventus. When I asked for opinions, I was told "It's nice." I enjoy the stuff, but it's not something I wear on dates anymore.

Anybody have a sample of Martin Margiela Untitled or Untitled L'Eau? I'm dying to smell these and I've got lots of great niche samples to swap!
"Follow your nose. It always knows." -- Toucan Sam
lets just say that the one she tolerates is Creed's Green Irish Tweed.
Form is emptiness, emptiness is form.
Sycomore, Endymion and of course LIDGE.
I think the latter two appeal to many women as they have sweetness to them, but not tooth-achingly so, and still smell mature.
Leather Oud is her favorite. Others include Pure Malt, Aventus, Dior Homme Intense and Rive Gauche.
Wife seems to like the clean stuff - Mugler Cologne and Erolfa were recent compliment-getters, as was Aventus (which is a funny paradox of fruity/clean + smoky to my nose).
Sadly, she's on the fence when it comes to one of my favorite notes - vetiver. She can pick it out pretty well, though it catches her as rather grapefruit-like (which I get and smell as well, but I also catch more of the earth/rootiness of it). I'm trying to ease her into it with some nice, airy ones like, as the name implies, KenzoAir
My finances favorites on me are:
1) Dreamer
2) MFK Oud
3) Aventus
4) Musc Ravageur
5) Silver Mountain Water
And then there's my all time favorite signature scent that I had to retire, Dolce & Gabbana Pour Homme.
I could barely stomach the first reformulation. But the 2nd reform really put the nail in its coffin for me.
I have 2 almost full vintage bottles.
Every time I wear it nowadays, my fiancé says, "wow this brings me back to our youth".
I hope that when we're old and grey, and I spray a little on, she has the same feeling
2. Bleu de Chanel
3. Chanel Platinum Egoiste
4. Creed MI
5. Chanel Allure Homme Sports
My Top 10
1. Amouage Homage Attar
2. Serge Lutens - Muscs Koublai Khan
4. Serge Lutens - Ambre Sultan
5. Chanel Egoiste
6. 24 Gold by Scentstory
7. Amouage Epic Man
8. Amouage Jubilation XXV
9. Bond No. 9 New York Oud
10. Serge Lutens - Chergui
"A beautiful fragrance to the nose is like good jazz music to the ears, great food to the mouth, and Megan Fox and Jessica Alba to the eyes..."
My wife's favorites thus far have been:
Creed Original Vetiver
Gucci Pour Homme II
Chanel Allure Homme Sport Eau Extreme
Tom Ford Neroli Portofino
Creed Aventus
The dry-down's of LIDGE & Rochas Man
The wife prefers me scent free. She did say that Issey Miyake is kind of OK, but she'd still prefer me to wear nothing.
Not even a speedo?
Are you not entertained??? Is this not why you are here??
My last boyfriend really learned how to love:
Hammam Bouquet
Habit Rouge
But for some inexplainable reason, he kept asking me to wear Azzaro, even though I told him it had been destroyed by reformulation.
L Nuit Gucci Guilty and A Mens.
Chanel Bleu
Grey Vetiver
La Nuit de L'homme
Issey Miyake
Platinum Egoiste
Current top 5:
1. MDCI Chypre Palatin
2. Guerlain Arsene Lupin (Dandy)
3. Roja Dove Enigma Parfum Pour Homme
4. Roja Dove Vetiver Extrait
5. Guerlain Heritage (any formulation)
Decants for swap: http://www.basenotes.net/threads/403...mples-for-Swap
Creed MI, DHS, Oud Ispahan, Bond #9 NY Oud, DHS. Most ouds are panty droppers. Squish.
Want to trade - Chanel Platinum Egoiste for Dior Eau Sauvage...
Gucci Pour II
Tobacco Vanille
Italian Cypress(2hr after applying)
Speakeasy(need to get a bottle)
Les Zazous
Only two wifely comments ever -- once for Rive Gauche Pour Homme, and once for Sel de Vetiver. Two veeeery different frags. Both comments came at the end of the day, and clearly tied into her feelings that it had been a good day all around. I think the actual scent probably didn't matter.
Green Irish Tweed
Rose 31
Memoir Man
Oud Wood
Tom Ford for Men
She hates Tuscan Leather
Tobacco Vanille is her favourite so far I think. Green Irish Tweed is a close second.
Your Date: "This chocolate cake is delicious!!!"
You: "No, it's bad. They changed the recipe a few years ago. It used to be much better. Trust me, you don't want to eat it."
Your Date: "But, it's delicious."

Any shitty run of the mill aquatic. For whatever reason she absolutely goes nuts for Mont Blanc Legend and ADG..
Hates 2 Man...which is my personal favorite...
Her favorites on me are Chanel Égoïste and Chanel Bois des Iles Quite lucky for me, that they are my favorites as well
My wifes favourite by far on me is Hermes Equipage.
Hard work never killed anyone, but why risk it?
Oh... and the longevity you mentioned. It is herculean. Doesn't matter what you get up to, the next morning you STILL get compliments which is a real godsend. You know what I'm talkin bout.

She has two equal favourites Gucci PH II & LIDGE. Fortunately they are both in my TOP 5.

1. Gucci Pour Homme II
2. Lalique Encre Noire
3. Creed Millesime Imperial
TOP 3 cold weather:
1. Dior Homme
2. Eau Des Baux
3. L'Instant de Guerlain Pour Homme Extreme
Straight to Heaven
Tuscan Leather
Terre d'Hermes
Narciso Rodriguez
She has also threatened to leave me if I ever use Acqua di Sale by Profumum ever again.
The original formulation of M7.
Forgot about Endymion! Wife digs that one as well.
My lady really likes Neroli Portifino (which she brought for me), Virgin Island Water and Bond No. Washington Square(brought herself a bottle which I now use).
Gucci Envy
Philosophy: smell good, feel good
gf isn't really interested in frags at all, but she has told me I smell nice a couple of times when I've been wearing Gucci PH II, which happens to be my favourite.
1. Chanel Platinum Egoiste
2. Bleu de Chanel
Distant 3. Terre d'Hermes
Suprisingly she wasn't very impressed with Creed Aventus! :s
Creed Aventus lid wanted: please pm if you can help
I currently have no girlfriend, but am accepting applications if any female members are interested.
The last one loved Neroli Portofino. Loved loved loved it. Prior girfriends (just in the past, say, three years) have preferred Chanel Bleu, D&G The One, and Green Irish Tweed.

When and where is the 2004 Hvac-talk Expo/Convention being held? I want to mark it on the calender so I don't miss it. I can't wait to meet everybody.
Feb. 25th to 28th,2004 ,in New Orleans,along with the ACCA Annual Conference.That would be a great place ,to start!
yea , I can just see it now New Orleans people where shocked when 1000 air conditioning technicians were seen on Bourbon Street with signs "Cool Comfort " just a block down inside HVAC trucks,mini-vans,motor homes....
Bourbon and hvac don't mix well...LOLOL

and it's a legal council site. Is there a link to the conference? I could use a vacation and I have a feeling I would get along well with New Orleans.
My doctor gave me six months to live, but when I couldn't pay the bill he gave me six months more.

I just got back from the 2003 H-talk convention. Man what a crazy time. The booze, the stories, the women...well my woman anyway. Where were the rest of you guys?
Read, read, read!
If I wasn't there it couldn't have been that much fun, you know that.
I just got back from a mini H-Talk convention in Grand Caymen. Met Bob Boardman, Carnak, Hspeed, and I think another. Plenty of woman, booze and food. Y'all should attend the next mini convention.
You guys should have one in Kuwait. Then I could go.
New Orleans would be great!! Anybody got Sugarbowl tickets they want to get rid of???
Well, SOME of us met at the ASHRAE show in AC a couple years ago, and SOME were there and unable to be located, not to mention any names Benncool and the infamous expatrioted and slightly pickled Charlie...
It worked out well for me, though.

We can't create out of nothing. We can only respond to outside forces the only way we know how, so the need of a free will doesn't enter the picture.
Word pictures of no free will—-
We are idling motors waiting for someone or something to put us in gear
We are shuttlecocks in a perpetual Badminton game with cause one side of the net and effect on the other side.
What we think, or what we know, or what we believe is, in the end, of little consequence. The only consequence is WHAT WE DO. John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)
