The tug between the nudge-nudge of the dialogue and the large-eyed enthusiasm of the delivery makes Beyond a real pill, one that was rudely dismissed by critics as garbage. But it's fabulous, teddy beara psychedelic wow that serves up the free love, plunging necklines, androgynous boys, and lusty lezzies of the era with a narcotized abandon. With a script by future Pulitzer winner Roger Ebertwho knew?the would-be cautionary tale has a made-up-as-it-goes-along quality, probably because it was made up as it went along. Not a sequel to Valley, the Meyer flick retains the three-girls-on-the-rise-and-fall motif, adding rock music, humor, and some black people. The result is a time-capsule oddityLaugh-In meets Love, American Style, but darkerthat spoofs, celebrates, and derides the swinging culture all at once, blithely traveling from quick-cut party scenes to soap-opera organ-playing and decapitations.
Kewpie-faced Playboy Playmate Dolly Read stars as the Carrie Nations' lead singer, Kelly, whowhile tracking down a family fortune in big, bad Hollywoodleads the group from a senior prom gig to superstardom. In a typically daft montage, the proto-Josie and the Pussycats sing the lilting "Come With the Gentle People" on a tour van as a map of their travels is superimposed over their beaming faces. Before you can say beyond, a Shakespeare-spouting fop named Z-Man (John Lazar) takes over their career, prompting all sorts of decadence and betrayals, not to mention more montages. The leering queenwho throws flamboyant love-ins and taunts a scantily clad studis so clearly the basis for The Rocky Horror Show's Dr. Frank-N-Furter that some sweet transvestite could probably get sued.
The film's gay content is as deliriously unenlightened (or maybe period-perfect) as in Valley, where mere suggestions of queerness practically drive characters insane. Here, the queers already are nutsespecially Z-Man, who goes on a rampage after demanding to be called Superwoman, unexpectedly revealing a pair of knockers to rival the Playmates'. Still, anyone who tries to impose p.c. strictures on any of this is as crazy as Z-Man (sorry, Superwoman).
When the pot smoke clears, the standout is Edy Williams as Ashley St. Ives, a woozy porn actress who seizes on Kelly's disgruntled beau (David Gurian) and coos, "You're a groovy boy. I'd like to strap you on sometime." (Gurian ends up in a wheelchair, just like Tony in Valley.) After more kinky sex, a Nazi's demise, and a guest appearance by the Strawberry Alarm Clock, it's all summed up with a winky moral about the dangers of taking without giving. Well, this movie only gives, baby. Strap it on sometime.

THE millions of Thai television viewers could not see the many scars beneath Miss Sahhara's shimmering evening gown. "I was very feminine when I was growing up and often got harassed and beaten up badly," says Miss Sahhara, a self-identified woman representing Nigeria in the Miss International Queen pageant, the world's largest and most watched transgender contest held each year in the Thai resort city of Pattaya.
"The terrible memories flood back when I look at the scars all over my body," she says. Miss Sahhara says that in Nigeria, a strict Christian and Muslim country, there is little tolerance for people born male who like her want to live as a woman.
"We are called a crude name that translates loosely into faggot and are forced to live underground," she says
Tall, slim and with large breasts, Miss Sahhara migrated seven years ago to London where she has completed two university degrees and works as a part-time entertainer. "I am living my life openly as a woman. I am very happy … I decided to travel to Thailand to enter this competition not to win but to show suppressed transgender people in Nigeria that they too can make their dreams come true."
Predominantly Buddhist Thailand displays a more tolerant attitude than many countries towards people who are born physically male but, as the Thai saying goes, "have a female heart". However, prejudice exists.
Trangendered people won a significant legal victory recently when a Thai court ordered the military to stop classifying transgender people known as kathoeys, or "ladyboys", as "having a permanent mental disorder".
A Defence spokesman, Thanatip Sawangsaeng, said the military will comply and has proposed the new phrasing: "current sexual status does not match that of birth."
Kathoeys, regarded as a male-to-female transgender person or an effeminate gay male, are a visible part of Thai society, working in many businesses and government offices or studying in schools and universities. They often take female hormones and have cosmetic surgery to achieve their ultra-feminine look.
Sirapassorn Attyhayakorn, the 21-year-old Miss Thailand entrant who beat 22 other contestants and was crowned Miss International Queen 2011 at the weekend, says she will spend the US$10,000 in prizemoney furthering her study in arts at Bangkok's Ramkhamhaeng University.
Many other kathoeys work in Thailand's sex industry.
Only a few kilometres from the pageant venue, dozens of kathoey prostitutes can be seen touting for business each night in Pattaya's vast red-light district.
The pageant director, Alisa Phanthusak, from Tiffany's, a company which puts on a transvestite show in Pattaya that attracts 2000 tourists daily, says the contest's main objective is to promote equal rights for transgender people in countries where they are discriminated against.
The pageant this year also raised money for victims of Thailand's devastating floods. "We receive hundreds of applications from transgender people to enter the pageant," Alisa says. "They don't have to be pretty … but they must be able to portray a good image and be a good representative of transgender people in their own country."
Yuni Carey, 30, representing Cuba in the contest, says discrimination against transgender Cubans was lifted in 2009 after Fidel Castro left office.
Cuba is now one of the few countries where sex change operations are free under a national health scheme.
"I came all this way to show Cubans that transgender people have beauty, elegance and intelligence and … deserve their place in the human race like everyone else," she says.
Miss Sahhara, which is Miss Nigeria's stage name, says she is surprised how well transgender people are acknowledged and accepted as real people in Thai culture.
She says she personally dislikes labels such as transgender, transvestite or transsexual. "I am a woman. That's it," she says.
Asked whether she has had a sex change operation, Miss Sahhara laughs and hides her face in her hands.
"Well, that's a very personal question, isn't it?," she says.
Miss Sahhara was named Miss International Queen runner-up in front of a nationwide television audience and a theatre packed with kathoeys, winning $US2000 and a range of beauty products. "Oh my goodness, my own dream really has come true," she said on stage, fighting back tears.

She earned her License en Droit magna cum laude and her Doctorat en Droit summa cum laude from the University of Aix-Marseille in 1953 and 1956, respectively. She also graduated from the Academy of International Law in The Hague in 1953, earned a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Chicago in 1967, graduated from the International and Comparative Law Center at the Southwestern Legal Foundation in Dallas, Texas, in 1973, and ultimately earned her J.D. from Notre Dame in 1977. Professor Lê began her 40-year teaching career in 1957 as a professor of law at the University of Hue, the second-largest university in Vietnam. She served as the first dean of the university's law school, after the entire university had been flattened during the 1968 Tet offensive. While a professor at Hue, she also served as visiting professor at the law schools of the University of Saigon and the University of Dalat. The first woman attorney in central Vietnam, Professor Lê also has extensive practical experience in the areas of international law and corporate law. She founded the first international law firm in Vietnam, Tang Thi Thanh Trai & Ta Van Tai, and served as the firm's senior partner until she came to the United States immediately prior to the fall of Saigon. She translated her decades of experience into the subjects she taught for over 20 years at Notre Dame, including the required course in commercial law, consumer law, international law, international business transactions and immigration law. Professor Lê has played prominent roles in several different organizations. She has been a member of the Central Vietnam Bar Association (1959-62), a board member on the Vietnam Council on Foreign Relations (1969-74), and a member of the board of the Saigon Bar Association (1968-75). She served as advisor to the Vietnam Industrial Management Association (1972-75), and in 1977 became a member of the American Association for the Comparative Study of Law. At Notre Dame, she served on countless University and Law School committees, and advised the Asian Law Students Association and coached the International Moot Court Teams that, under her guidance, won regional competitions on several occasions.

This was the WMB's first return to the Classic in five years and we had an incredible time! The band was exhausted from their experiences at Knott's Berry Farm, Downtown Disney and of course, RCC. But as hard as this group has worked this season, it was a great and rewarding trip traveling together.

Shawn Thornton signs with Panthers
|07.01.14 at 1:26 pm ET
Shawn Thornton has signed with the Panthers after spending the last seven seasons in Boston. According to Elliotte Friedman of Hockey Night in Canada, the contract is for two years and is worth $2.4 million.
Thornton, now 36, served as a fourth-line fixture for the Bruins after signing with them in 2007. He posted career highs with 10 goals and 10 assists for 22 points in the Bruins' Stanley Cup-winning 2010-11 season.
Last season proved to be a tough one for Thornton, as his line struggled and he was given a 15-game suspension for an on-ice incident with then-Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik. Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli informed Thornton last month that the team would not be re-signing him.
Thornton, who hails from Oshawa, Ontario, has long said he will continue to live in Boston, where he has become known for his multiple charitable efforts.

Friday Five: Record Store Day
Record Store Day is this Saturday. It's a little bit like Christmas for music geeks, as dozens of participating musicians are releasing exclusive records—and a CD or two as well—just for that day. (You can check out what's going on at your local vinyl purveyor here: http://www.recordstoreday.com) Since most barroom jukeboxes no longer play 45s, here are some of my favorite songs about staying home and listening to records.
- 5. "When The Needle Hits The Vinyl" – Adam Brand
Do records spin the opposite way Down Under? Australian country singer Adam Brand sings about a young boy watching his stoic parents transform when the tunes came on. This tune's so catchy you may want to cut a rug yourself, and Brand's accent sure is easy on the ears.
- 4. "Sweet Emmylou" – Joey + Rory
When some no good man leaves her, a cool chick like Joey Martin doesn't wallow in the dark with a pint of ice cream and Lifetime on the tube. She copes by blowing the dust off some Emmylou Harris LPs. While Harris may not be able to cure a broken arm or Ebola, she's pretty damn good at taking the edge off of heartbreak.
- 3. "Record Lady" – Lyle Lovett
Okay, so records don't just miraculously appear in one's house. You've got to go to your local record store, and said store is probably staffed by a cutie. At least it is in this sly, witty song from Lovett's I Love Everybody; he only needs one look at the woman before he's lost in the "phonographic fantasy" of spinning records together in Acapulco.
- 2. "Vinyl Records" – Todd Snider
The laundry list of artists in Snider's record collection is like "I've Been Everywhere" for audiophiles. But if all he's got in his apartment is said records all over the floor, "a beat-up chair, a mattress, a fork and another to spare," it might be a little difficult to get those of the feminine persuasion—perhaps lured by the promise of Mojo Nixon vinyl—to stick around. Invest in some sheets, buddy.
- 1. "The Buck Starts Here" – Robbie Fulks
There's nothing quite like a stack of records to get a person through the night. Fulks deals with his heartbreak with a few 45s, wailing "The Buck starts here/With Hank sure to follow/Turn them up loud and clear/They're singing my sorrow." No matter the listening medium, who hasn't been there?
9 Comments
When I saw the category my first thought was "The Buck Stops Here". Great choice.
I thought #2 would be #1, but I had never heard the Fulks tune before you posted it. Thanks, Juli.
The description of the Adam Brand song makes it sound exactly like the song of the same name on Joey Martin's "Strong Enough To Cry" album, which preceeded the formation of "Joey+Rory". Juli, is Rory Lee Feek the songwriter on the Adam Brand song?
Catherine Britt was a co-writer on "Sweet Emmylou" with Rory Feek, so we have two Aussie and Rory Feek connections on this short list! Good on ya, Juli.
Rick, it is the same song; Brand's was on his album Good Friends. Both versions are good, but I like Brand's better. Didn't realize this week's second Aussie connection 'til now. Thanks!
Fun list as always, with the added bonus of some video from the great Black Swamp Arts Festival.
Up north here, we have a great young traditionalist named Gord Bamford, who works pretty much exclusively with Byron Hill, and has had a few cuts put on hold by Strait and Jackson. On his "Life Is Good" album, he had a single called "They're All About Her", which deals with his parents vinyl collection influencing his current music, and how he realizes now that all those great songs, like "Walking After Midnight"….were, "…All About Her…" Cool tune!!
I love "Sweet Emmylou" =) I'm really anticipating the new Joey + Rory album this June
On a different note: I am going to try to get a copy of Soundgarden's "Hunted Down" 7″ tomorrow. Yeehaw!
Sorry bout that….Back to country music!
Alan Jackson, on his first or second album: "Just Playing Possum"

PM launches Prasar Bharati's DTH service
Our Bureau
New Delhi , Dec. 16
THE Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, on Thursday said that Prasar Bharati's free DTH service was a step forward in the continuing process of emotional integration.
Speaking after the launch of the DTH service, Dr Singh said that while DTH has the capacity to reach out to every household, attention must be paid to the message.
"As a public broadcaster there must be focus on content - content that promotes liberalism, pluralism, secularism and unity in diversity."
He added that Prasar Bharati must define and develop the role of a national broadcaster.
Dr Singh also urged Doordarshan to think about setting up global news channels like BBC and CNN. "Do we have the aspirations to launch a news channel for the world market?"
Earlier, the Information and Broadcasting Minister, Mr Jaipal Reddy, called Prasar Bharati's DTH venture "a common man's DTH platform" and said that it could become the growth engine.

Children of Men
From Wikiquote
Children of Men is a 2006 dystopian science fiction film loosely based off of P.D. James' 1992 novel The Children of Men. Taking place in the United Kingdom in a future stricken with mass human infertility, it centers around the efforts to secretly smuggle a woman who is, miraculously, pregnant from London to an offshore science team working to save humanity from extinction.
Theo Faron[edit]
- Same as every other day. Woke up, felt like shit, went to work, felt like shit.
- The Human Project gives this great big dinner for all the scientists and sages in the world. They're tossing around theories about the ultimate mystery, why are women infertile? Why can't we make babies anymore? Some of them say it's genetic experiments, gamma rays, pollution. Same old, same old. Anyway, in the corner, this Englishman's sitting. He hasn't said a word. He's just tucking into his dinner. So they decide to ask him. They say, "Well, why do you think we can't make babies anymore?" And he looks up at them, and he's chewing on this great big wing, and he says, "I haven't the faintest idea," he said. "But this stork is quite tasty, isn't it?"
- Everything is a mythical cosmic battle between faith and chance.
- So, why bother if life's going to make its own choices?
Julian Taylor[edit]
- You know that ringing in your ears? That 'eeeeeeee'? That's the sound of the ear cells dying. Like their swan song. Once it's gone, you'll never hear that frequency again. Enjoy it while it lasts.
- You know, when I started puking, I thought I catch the pest. But then my belly started getting big. Nobody ever told me these things. I never seen a pregnant woman before. But I knew. I felt like a freak. I didn't tell nobody. I thought about the Quietus thing. Supposed to be suave. Pretty music and all that. Then the baby kicked. I feel it. Little bastard was alive. And I feel it. And me, too. I am alive.
- I was 31. Midwife at the John Radcliffe. I was doing a stint in the antenatal clinic. Three of my patients miscarried in one week. Others were in their fifth and sixth month. We managed to save two of the poor babies. Next week, five more miscarried. Then the miscarriages started happening earlier. I remember booking a woman in for her next appointment and noticing that the page seven months ahead was completely blank. Not a single name.
- As the sound of the playgrounds faded, the despair set in. Very odd what happens in a world without children's voices. I was there at the end.
- Usually, there's people trying to get out of Bexhill, not in. Syd doesn't know why you want to get in. Syd doesn't want to know. Syd doesn't care.
- All right. You're fugees now. Show Syd the fugee face. Sad face. Sad fugee face.
- Syd was watching television last night with Mummy. She's a sweet old soul. Dying of cancer. It's heartbreaking. And then the news came on, and you two were on it. Something about a cop killer. Something about a big reward. Syd then finds out the Fishes are looking for you. So Syd thinks, "If the Fishes are looking for you, "and the coppers are looking for you, "you people are first class commodities."
- I was carrying the baby up the stairs. I started crying. I'd forgotten what they looked like. They're so beautiful. They're so tiny. Julian was wrong! She thought it could be peaceful! But how can it be peaceful when they try to take away your dignity?
- The Muslim community demands an end to the Army's occupation of mosques. The Homeland Security bill is ratified. After eight years, British borders will remain closed. The deportation of illegal immigrants will continue. Good morning. Our lead story. The world was stunned today by the death of Diego Ricardo, the youngest person on the planet. Baby Diego was stabbed outside a bar in Buenos Aires after refusing to sign an autograph.
- Theo Faron: I mean, Baby Diego, come on. That guy was a wanker.
- Jasper: Yeah, but he was the youngest wanker on Earth.
- Jasper: Any girls?
- Theo Faron: No.
- Jasper: What about the one we had lunch with? Lauren?
- Theo Faron: Lorna. That was ages ago.
- Jasper: I liked her. What happened?
- Theo Faron: She decided to renounce.
- Jasper: Renouncers? Are those the ones that kneel down for a month for salvation?
- Theo Faron: No. They're the Repenters. The Renouncers flagellate themselves for the forgiveness of humanity.
- Jasper: Oh, right. Dating ain't what it used to be, is it, amigo?
- Jasper: So, Human Project is having this dinner and all the wisest men in the world are there...
- Theo Faron: "Human Project." Why do people believe this crap? You know, even if these people existed with these facilities in secret locations... Fuck me, that's strong. Even if they discovered the cure for infertility, it doesn't matter. Too late. The world went to shit. You know what? It was too late before the infertility thing happened, for fuck's sake.
- Jasper: I was just trying to tell a joke, man.
- Patric: This never fucking happened. Don't go telling tales, cause' we'll be watching you. At work. When you sleep. When you have a piss we'll be watching. All the fucking time.
- Theo: Jeez, your breath stinks.
- Patric: No it doesn't.
- Theo: Yes it does.
- Nigel: That thing in Madrid was a real blow to art.
- Theo Faron: Not to mention people.
- Theo Faron: You kill me. A hundred years from now, there won't be one sad fuck to look at any of this. What keeps you going?
- Nigel: You know what it is, Theo? I just don't think about it.
- Julian Taylor: Kee, this is Theo.
- Kee: What the fuck you staring at?
- Theo Faron: Apparently the pleasure's all mine. Are we planning a sing-along? Good. I'm gonna take a nap.
- Kee: You told me he was suave. Wanker's a drunk.
- Julian Taylor: He's suave. You should have seen him in the old days when he was a real activist.
- Theo Faron: You were the activist, I just wanted to get laid.

Hyperion Energy Center Granted Air Permit
ELK POINT, S.D., Aug. 20 /PRNewswire/ — The Hyperion Energy Center was issued its air permit today by the South Dakota Board of Minerals and the Environment, a major step toward this project becoming the first new oil refinery to be constructed in the United States since 1976. The board voted unanimously, 9-0.
"An incredible amount of work and dedication went into getting to this important point," said Hyperion Project Executive Preston Phillips. "We are thankful to those who put a lot of work into this process, and we cannot overstate the gratitude to our many supporters in Union County and throughout the state and the Siouxland region for all they've done."
The air permit marks the second permitting milestone for the Energy Center, with the first being the required zoning change that was passed by the Union County Planning Commission, the Union County Commissioners, and then the county's voters by a 58-42 margin 14 months ago. In addition, a recent ruling by the South Dakota Supreme Court ended opponents' efforts to challenge the zoning change.
In light of the permit being issued today, the anticipated timetable for the Energy Center is for construction to begin in 2011, with startup in 2015. An average of 4,500 jobs will be created over the four year construction phase, with the Energy Center bringing more than 1,800 permanent jobs to the Siouxland region.
"Today, we've moved much closer to breaking ground on the nation's cleanest, most environmentally sound refinery that will produce ultra-low sulfur gasoline, ultra-low sulfur diesel, and jet fuel," said Phillips.
"In terms of supply and demand, we're still importing more oil and refined products than we should from outside North America. The need for additional heavy refining capacity is there, and we've always believed North American oil should stay in North America," Phillips said. "Canada is currently the largest exporting country to the United States, and it is in both countries' best interests to create strategic and economic synergies."
Throughout the permitting process, Hyperion has evidenced its commitment to openness, transparency and inclusiveness. The company not only held several informational open houses in the local communities, it also fully supported the referendum on the change in zoning by Union County residents. In addition, Phillips noted, Hyperion was the first to request that the Board of Minerals and the Environment hold the Contested Case Hearing.
The Hyperion Energy Center will be permitted for a 400,000 barrel-per-day refinery producing ultra-low sulfur gasoline and diesel and an IGCC (Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle) power plant. The center will incorporate green principles in its every day functions and integrate only the most advanced commercially feasible emission control technologies in its operations, as spelled out in the company's Green Charter.

Ever wonder why some teens who try cigarettes get hooked quickly and others don't? The answer may lie in their genes, according to a new study that spans nearly four decades.
Researchers used data from earlier studies to construct a genetic risk score for heavy smokers. Next, they screened the genes of about 1,000 New Zealanders from birth to age 38 to see whether those with high risk scores got hooked on cigarettes more quickly as teens and whether they had a harder time kicking the habit as adults.

The Ohio Senate released its version of the state budget bill—Am. Sub. HB 59—on June 4. As previously reported by the Shale Blog, the Governor's original budget proposal included provisions for the disposal of TENORM (Technologically Enhanced Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material). The Ohio House removed those provisions from the budget bill amid strong opposition from both industry and environmentalists. Well, the Senate's omnibus amendment put TENORM back in the budget.
The Senate's TENORM provisions are similar in many respects to those in the Governor's budget proposal. The Senate's bill contains the following definitions of NORM (Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material) and TENORM:
The Senate's budget bill also includes various provisions regulating the disposal of TENORM and it distributes regulatory authority among three state agencies. Under the Senate's bill:
The Senate's TENORM provisions were discussed at BakerHostetler's recent Shale Symposium. Ben Pfefferle—a partner in BakerHostetler's Columbus office—predicted that the Senate's provisions would create confusion (subscription required) as to which state agency will in fact regulate the management and disposal of TENORM and other drilling wastes. Rick Simmers—chief of ODNR's Division of Oil and Gas Resource Management—expressed confidence that the state agencies involved could effectively administer the system. According to Simmers, the Senate's TENORM provisions will help coordinate the efforts of the three agencies identified in the bill.
The budget bill will be considered by a joint conference committee comprised of House and Senate members, perhaps as soon as June 13. The bill must go into effect with Governor Kasich's signature by the start of the fiscal year, July 1. The effective date of the TENORM provisions will likely be delayed, however, so that regulatory agencies may promulgate rules implementing the provisions.

Donaire dares Golden Boy: Make a 'legal' offer
Nonito Donaire Jr., breaking his silence, dared Golden Boy Promotions to pay him and Top Rank $3 million to fight Mexican hotshot Abner Mares and send a legally binding proposal to his manager Cameron Dunkin.
In a move seen by ring fans and members of the sports media as "calling the bluff," Donaire fired a series of tweets asking GBP CEO Richard Schaefer to prove his sincerity even as the 30-year-old fighter claimed Dunkin has yet to see an official offer from them.
"(Top Rank chair Bob) Arum ain't even in country, so send Dunkin the signed proposal. Otherwise this is all just twitter BS," said Donaire (31-1-0 with 20 knockouts) over the social networking site where he has amassed 79,000 followers.
His tweets set off a deluge of reactions from his followers. GBP has yet to issue a reaction.
"We all know fights aren't done on Twitter but on a legally binding proposal," Donaire said, in direct reference to Schaefer's offer which was in reaction to Arum's earlier statement asking his rival promoter to give him an amount so he can pay for the right to stage the expected superfight.
Donaire, the WBO 122-pound champ, fights for Top Rank and HBO, while Mares, holder of the WBC belt, is under contract with GBP and Showtime.
Within a few hours, Mares responded on his own Twitter account saying: "Believe me you will be receiving it soon. And I just hope that when you do, you sign it!!!"
Donaire retorted that until Dunkin gets a formal offer, "I'm not wasting time on this because right now it's just a myth." He later posted: "But hey, props if a legal proposal materializes tomorrow."
Donaire, who swept 2012 Fighter of the Year awards on the strength of his four-of-four record last year—including KO wins over toughies Toshiaki Nishoka of Japan and Jorge Arce of Mexico—said he checked with Dunkin if he has received a formal offer.
"You want it, then send it," added Donaire in another tweet, taunting GBP over its offer that could very well shoot up his pay grade. He reportedly got $1 million in his last fight, against Arce.
He added that since Mares' manager Frank Espinoza is dealing with Top Rank on behalf of GBP, then Dunkin could do the same and receive the offer.

Indonesia relaxes limits on Australia beef imports
Published on May 28, 2013 9:20 AM
SYDNEY (REUTERS) - Indonesia will relax restrictions on the import of Australian beef following talks between the two nations, Australia's trade minister said on Tuesday.
Indonesia has agreed to exempt "premium" Australian beef imports from quotas, Mr Craig Emerson said in a statement. It will also allow live cattle exporters to start filling quotas intended for the final six months of the year ahead of schedule.
The move will help boost Australia's cattle industry, which has struggled with the implementation of quotas by Indonesia, its largest live cattle market.
Indonesia introduced tight quotas on beef imports in 2012, in the hope of promoting its own domestic market, but the policy has created shortages and rising prices.

To answer your question, Etro Vetiver. I find the current formulation of Route du Vetiver to be quite different from the original formulation - and not in a good way.
But if you can find vintage Route du Vetiver though, I would go for that.
I love vetiver with Givenchy Vetyver and Chanel Sycomore being favorites, but I'd like to have a more raw vetiver as an alternate go to.
Having read a good number of BN threads and reviews, I'm left with a question.
Between either ETRO Vetiver or Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier Route du Vetiver, which one is closer to its original formulation? (I can only select one, and I'm comfortable with the price points of these two.)
Your recommendations are sincerely appreciated.

To answer your question, Etro Vetiver. I find the current formulation of Route du Vetiver to be quite different from the original formulation - and not in a good way.
But if you can find vintage Route du Vetiver though, I would go for that.

I'd personally go for the MPG even if I only had the chance to test the current formulation. While I smelled both Etro vintage and current versions and found them to be reasonably similar, the MPG has definitely a rougher vibe. Extremely earthy, raw, uncompromising. The Etro is still a top notch among straight forward vetivers, but nowhere close to Route Du Vetiver IMO.
Discover my Guest Reviewer Of The Day here
in the same price range, you might want to add Lorenzo Villoresi Vetiver to your list of considerations. If money were no object, I'd also voice strong support for Profumum Fumidus. It's about as raw as you can get, and would not please everybody. I don't think I've ever tried Etro's version and I only have vintage Route du Vetiver, which is indeed as great as everybody says.
I'll agree with Tonyprince that Villoresi's Vetiver is quite strong and raw.
'...And you'll carry me down on your dancing
To the pools that you lift on your wrist...'
In spite of the name, Chopard Vetiver Noble is in fact a very raw, grassy, almost oily and sappy vetiver, hardly any vetiver fragrance could smell more naturally
+3 for Villoresi Vetiver a very unique and unusual vetiver product!
Turtle Vetiver from LesNez is raw natural from the earth
Vetiver Bourbon by Miller Harris - "dark and deep with promises to keep" natural vetiver
Maitre Parfumeur et Gantier Route du Vetiver
I think you are asking two different questions here - one is about which of two completed fragrances you should buy and I'm not qualified to help with that as I don't know them. The other is about which perfumes are most 'true to nature' as you put it in the thread title. I'd suggest neither of them is likely to be 'true to nature' - I offer what I call The Simple Essence of Vetiver - basically just alcohol and vetiver oil - that's as true to nature as it is possible to be. However it's not really a fragrance as most people understand the term, I would recommend that only for layering although I know some of my customers like to use it as a single note.
You won't want to mess about importing my offering but I'd recommend that you buy some vetiver oil (it's not expensive and widely available) and smell that: if you love it then you know you really do like your vetiver pure and true: more likely you'll find it a bit disappointing in which case you know that you want a perfumer to have used it as part of a composition that isn't really true to nature but perhaps seems even more raw than the real thing if that makes any sense.
A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter, is not a nice person.

You can also join my blog if you wish to ask questions of me.
As Chris was saying, it seems you are asking different questions. I have never smelled true vetiver (grass or oil). In his book, LT claims that Vetiver Extraordinaire comes closer to capturing the smell of true vetiver roots (the roots, not the oil).
I do indeed love VE, fresh, dry, and rooty at the same time.

I would go with Mona Di Orio Vetyver
Thank you all for your kind replies.
I can see where my thread title could be misleading. It should have been titled something like, Two Vetivers - True to Their Original Formulation Question, but I erred on the side of brevity.
Regardless, Im deeply impressed with the responses and am appreciative of the time taken to answer the thread.
As someone starting out, I find reading previous threads and reviews a really great way to learn, but in the back of my mind lurks the question whether the current perfume is essentially the same as that referenced in earlier posts. It seems that sometimes in the relatively short period of a year or two that a reformulation may alter the scent-scape significantly.
Let me again say, Thank You for taking the time to help inform and educate me.
interpretation is the revenge of the intellect upon art. - Susan Sontag
I have smelled (thanks to a very sweet BNer) the vintage MPG Route du Vetiver and the current formulation.
There is material difference between the two. That doesnt mean the current is bad, au contraire it might better suit some as the vintage was truly a challenging beast of a vetiver. This is coming from a true vetiver fan.
I wasn't aware Etro reformulated their vetiver. I have the current one which is also good and quite closely resembles Turtle Vetiver Project.
I also have Vetiver by Lorenzo Villoresi which I love because of his personal earthiness accord.
IMO, you need to try several of these to decide which one(s) suit you.
Its good that you realize that the Givenchy and the Chanel are toned down (albeit very good) vetiver based perfumes because the ones we've suggested are very different than those two.
Between the Etro and the MPG I would select the MPG but in essence I need both as they are different in their own respective statures.
So apparently preferences or thresholds differ.
Etro Vetiver is better. Great fragrance! Earthy, raw, dry

Iran confirms resumption of some atomic fuel work
TEHRAN (Reuters) – Tehran on Tuesday confirmed it had
restarted some work on uranium enrichment, a process the West
fears could be used to build nuclear weapons.
"In accordance with parliament's ratification, I should say
'yes'," deputy nuclear negotiator Javad Vaeedi told reporters
in Tehran when asked whether Iran had resumed uranium
However, Iranian officials have been guarded on whether the
key process of feeding uranium hexafluoride gas into
centrifuges has resumed.
"Such issues are precise technical details," Vaeedi
replied, when asked whether the centrifuges at the underground
nuclear facility at Natanz had started work.
Centrifuges enrich uranium by spinning it at supersonic
speed. Tehran says it needs this enriched uranium to run power
stations, not build bombs.
