Very Nice
By Lorna
from Vancouver BC
I have been looking for a ring to wear on my pointer or middle fingers. This fills the bill. It fits and is very flattering. Even though it is wide the tapering of the style makes it comfortable as well as stylish.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

lovely silver
By hifive230
from Thunder Bay
I was a little concerned when I purchased this ring because another one that I had purchased had to be returned because the sizing was off (small). However, this one fits perfectly. The silver is beautiful, so lovely and white, a big difference between this and the 92.5 silver that I have. The colour is much whiter than it shows in the picture and I am very happy about that. If you prefer a whiter silver, this line is for you. I love this ring.

I had seen in the form I filled on Internet that it was required only if I want ISD connection. He again went over there but this time he was asked to get another form for Rural connection. Could you kindly clarify if the form I filled on the net has no value? I see above that I have to pay Rs.150 per month Fixed charges for download up to 1 GB thereafter one has to pay Rs.0.40 per MB.

I have realized that in digital camera models, specialized sensors help to concentrate automatically. These sensors involving some video cameras change in in the area of contrast, while others utilize a beam involving infra-red (IR) light, especially in low lighting. Higher spec cameras occasionally use a combination of both devices and may have Face Priority AF where the dslr camera can 'See' a new face and focus only in that. Thanks for sharing your opinions on this blog.
Please tell me, is this broadband connection is applicable for smartphones in rural area…………

Press release from Business Wire
Robbins Umeda LLP Announces an Investigation of Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Tuesday, September 25, 2012
Robbins Umeda LLP Announces an Investigation of Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc.18:44 EDT Tuesday, September 25, 2012 SAN DIEGO (Business Wire) -- Shareholder rights firm Robbins Umeda LLP is investigating possible breaches of fiduciary duty and other violations of the law by certain officers and directors at Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ-GS: QCOR). Concerned shareholders who would like more information about their rights and potential remedies can contact attorney Gregory E. Del Gaizo at (800) 350-6003, email@example.com, or via the shareholder information form on the firm's website. Robbins Umeda LLP is investigating whether officers and directors of Questcor breached their fiduciary duties to shareholders by permitting improper promotional practices concerning its leading drug H.P. Acthar Gel. Prior to the opening of the stock market on September 24, 2012, Questcor announced in a form 8-K that it "became aware of a U.S. government investigation involving the company's promotional practices." After the revelation of the government investigation, Questcor stock fell to a fifty-two week low of $18.81. In addition, on September 19, 2012, America's third largest health insurer, Aetna Inc., said it would only reimburse for Acthar gel usage as a treatment for infantile spasms. Aetna said that Questcor's Acthar gel was no better than existing therapies for eighteen other diseases that it was approved for and its usage would no longer be covered by Aetna. After opening at $50.48 on September 19, 2012, shares of Questcor closed at $26.35, a loss of 47.8%. Robbins Umeda LLP highlights concerned Questcor shareholders have several potential options available to them. Remedies commonly sought in the firm's actions include corporate governance reforms designed to prevent future misconduct, removal of officers or directors whose misconduct injured the corporation, and monetary payments in the form of damages and disgorgement of ill-gotten gains. Robbins Umeda LLP is a nationally recognized leader in securities litigation and shareholder rights law. The firm represents individual and institutional investors in shareholder derivative and securities class action lawsuits, and has helped its clients realize more than $1 billion of value for themselves and the companies in which they have invested.

AO 2013 - Semifinals - Vika Azarenka v. Sloane Stephens
Has a thread been created on the match of the day? Not even Djoker/Ferrer can top this one. SO excited to see this. I think Sloane can pull this one out in 2 if she is on the ball early. Aza has shown some major weakness in her last two matches.
Sloane wins in 3.
Azarenka in 2. It takes something special to defeat her in a hc major (in other words: Serena in great form) these days and I don't think Stephens is quite up to the task yet.
I know RedFoo is happy to not have to see Serena whip up on Vika again.
That said, I think Victoria is going to win in 2 relatively easy sets.
But I look forward to possibly being surprised with a great showing by Sloane.
AZ in straights. Sloan will have the typical let down after beating one's idol.
Come on Sloane!! I hope Li Na inspired you. Lets get this done in 2! :)
Thank goodness I don't need to start another thread. Sometimes I feel I should get paid by the WTA for all the WTA posts I've started here.
I root for both, but this time I'm pulling for a fellow Californian in Sloane.
Redfoo's getting lucky tonight.....and probably within the hour.
This could be a blowout
I think I will be in the minority this time. Rooting for Azarenka.
Azarenka sees the finish line, and has avoided all attention so far. This should allow her to play free of the influence of the media or talking heads.
I'm going with Sloane in three sets, gotta go with the American.
What's interesting is if Sloane wins, Serena becomes #1.
now, i like sloane stephens a lot, BUT that interview shot that keep showing where she says something like "i'm in a grand slam semifinal, whoa! it wasn't as hard as i thought!" seems a little -- dare i say it, disrespectful (her recent complaint about serena) -- of the people she beat to get there?
Sloane who?
Let's face the reality: she's not really that good. She did not play that well against Serena, and only won the match due to Serena's injuries. Even then, after Serena's injury timeout, she kept hitting the net a few times in a row.
At least last year she used to look good. Now, she looks more and more like Serena. Maybe they share the same pharmacist, who knows.
She has the physical condition to overpower many opponents, but she really needs to work on her groundstrokes. Lose those loopy topspin forehands that all teenage American players are thought by their USTA coaches, and learn to hit more winners.
Pam Shriver must be blind. She said that ball Sloane challenged was "way in" when Hawkeye showed it to be way out. :???:
ugh, commentators are so much worse for this semi than the last one
Pam and Chris, worst ever, just won't shut up. Listening to Pam is torture.
Azarenka has the same semi-grinding, mid pace, generic game as Lance does, it's tough to watch either of them..

TNT's new reality survival show "72 Hours," set to premiere on June 6 at 9 p.m. (ET/PT) will feature two contestants who hail from the Santa Clarita Valley.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
The show pits three teams of three strangers each against each other in a race against time and the elements for a hidden briefcase of $100,000 in cash. Dropped off in remote places such as the Fiji Islands, New Mexico desert, New Zealand Alps and Southern Rockies, the contestants have only one bottle of water and one GPS per team.
Lindsay Schimmer, 27, a member of the Green Team during the premiere episode, is a medical aesthetician. Though Schimmer is currently a resident of Moorpark, she considers Santa Clarita her hometown.
According to Schimmer, she is a "silent threat," who grew up backpacking and fishing and came to "72 Hours" to prove to herself that she could survive. She said that she ended up walking away with amazing friends.
Emily Bush, a 24-year-old waitress from Valencia and who currently lives in Los Angeles, will be participating in the "Lost Coast of New Zealand" episode set to air June 13.
About the premiere episode
When three teams composed of three strangers are dropped into the icy blue waters of the Yasawa Islands, their survival skills are put to the test as they encounter scorching temperatures and rough waters while attempting to locate a briefcase full of cash in just 72 hours. All they have to accompany them in their quest for $100,000 are their teammates, the clothes on their backs, a GPS and one bottle of water. Brandon Johnson hosts.

A federal compensation fund for those affected was established shortly after the tragedy and paid out a total of about $7 billion to the families of those whose injuries and deaths were determined a result of the 9/11 attacks.
Another 11,000 firefighters, police officers and other emergency workers are suing the city for injuries they say were caused by working at the World Trade Center site. The claims have left rescue workers and the city embroiled in a years-long legal battle that shows no sign of reaching a conclusion soon. The city could face $1 billion or more in liability if it is found to be negligent for failing to protect workers.
Kenneth Feinberg, who was special master of the September 11 Victim Compensation Fund, says the effect of the Zadroga case on these cases will most likely be minimal.
"The cases are so specific to the individual, in terms of the medical corroboration, the exposure to dust on 9/11," he says. "It's better not to draw long-term conclusions from one case about the thousands of other cases."
And Mark Bern, one of the lawyers who represents rescue workers who say their health was affected, agrees that the Zadroga case, while symbolic, will have "no bearing" on his cases.
"There are a multitude of studies to show that dust was harmful, that the air was bad" and that the air caused injury to the workers, he says.
Nonetheless, lawyers for the city of New York have already taken steps to discredit some of the injury claims aimed at the city. In May, lawyers said in court papers that a review of medical records showed that one out of every three of those claiming injury are not seriously ill -- and that hundreds may not be ill at all. "Certain plaintiffs allege injuries that could never be related to exposure at the WTC Site," they wrote.
The statements have been attacked by the claimants' attorneys.
While denying liability for the injured workers, the city and New York's congressional delegation are pushing for the federal government to reopen the compensation fund. That drawn- out battle has left many workers claiming injuries, such as Riches, bitter.
"The ultimate thing is this catastrophe happened," said Jeffrey Goldberg, a lawyer representing several hundred firefighters. "Now a lot of first responders are getting shortchanged because of a political battle between the city of New York and Washington."
Working in the claimants' favor may be the fact that in the days and weeks after the collapse of the towers, the vicinity of the smoking pile of rubble, glass, metal and asbestos was a very unhealthy place to be.
According to at least one study, published in May 2007 in the medical journal Chest, those who inhaled the airborne cocktail of chemicals and dust at the WTC site appear to have increased their risk of sarcoidosis, a condition in which the body's immune system triggers uncontrolled inflammation. This inflammation wreaks havoc on the lungs and, less commonly, on other internal organs.
Another common complaint was severe gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, in which the acid in the stomach makes its way up the esophagus, burning the internal lining and causing significant and sometimes debilitating pain.

Re: Problem installing NVIDIA driver on Debian
I'm trying this on a slackware 9.1 distro, without as much luck. First, I have isntalled the kernel source, and as far as I can tell, the source is for kernel 2.4.26 and I'm running 2.4.26. Do I really need to build the kernel anyway?
I tried delaun01's trick, but it seems that the lines in the file he mentioned have changed.
I have:
if [ "$VERBOSE" = "full_output" ]; then
echo "*** Unable to determine the target kernel version. ***";
echo "";
exit 1
Should I comment out the whole thing?
has anyone even tried these tricks for isntaller 6111 on any system other than deb?
When I run the installer (v6111), It always dies at the point where it's supposed to load nvidia.o

14 June 2011 21:21 [Source: ICIS news]
(adds updates throughout)
WASHINGTON (ICIS)--The US Senate on Tuesday rejected an amendment that would have ended the $6bn (€4bn) annual taxpayer subsidy for corn ethanol, a move hailed by biofuel industry officials who also urged broader federal support for ethanol distribution.
In a procedural vote, the Senate turned back a bipartisan measure to kill the 45 cents/gal ethanol subsidy, formally known as the Volumetric Ethanol Excise Tax (VEETC), effective 1 July this year.
Along with a 54 cents/gal tariff on US imports of foreign ethanol, the ethanol use subsidy is scheduled to expire at the end of this year, unless extended by further congressional action.
Only 40 senators voted in support of the subsidy-killing measure, but 60 votes were needed to end debate on the amendment and move it forward for a vote on its merits.
The Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) welcomed the Senate vote, saying that the tally demonstrated that "there is a lack of appetite" in the Senate for ending federal support for corn-based ethanol.
Supporters of the subsidy-kill measure - including a number of environmental groups - had argued that federal taxpayer funding for corn ethanol was bad policy on economic, energy and environmental grounds.
But the subsidy is highly popular among corn-growing states of the US midwest, making it difficult for opponents of the subsidy to put together the 60 votes needed in the 100-seat Senate to advance controversial issues.
Corn is the predominant crop in seven midwestern states and is a major crop in six others, meaning that as many as 26 senators would be predisposed to defend federal programmes and subsidies that favour corn.
The subsidy kill bill apparently lost support as the vote neared because of another ethanol bill that drew some backers away.
That bill, the Ethanol Reform and Deficit Reduction Act (S-1185), would reduce the current ethanol consumption subsidy in order to shift federal tax incentives to retail gasoline vendors who install ethanol blender pumps.
The subsidy reform bill was introduced on Monday as support for the subsidy kill bill appeared to be growing.
The authors of the proposed reform bill envision more than 50,000 blender pumps being installed nationwide through the diverted subsidy. That would make higher ethanol fuel blends more readily available to consumers - a chief goal of RFA and other biofuel advocates.
The ethanol subsidy reform bill also would extend current tax incentives for research and development work toward a hoped-for breakthrough for commercial production using non-food cellulosic feedstocks.
With Senate defeat of the subsidy kill bill, the RFA urged Congress to approve the reform measure and redirect federal tax support to downstream distribution infrastructure for ethanol.
That bill has yet to be scheduled for a Senate vote.

Beyoncé ft. Lee Carr - If I Were A Boy (Remix)
Artist: Beyoncé
Featuring: Leron Young
Producer: Toby Gad
Album: Unreleased
Avg Rating: 3.9 ( 34 votes )
Wherever there's a "ladies anthem" that involves a little misandry, there is usually a remix from the male perspective not too far behind. In this case, the cut in question is Beyoncé's quickly-rising hit If I Were A Boy, which has been given an unofficial remix treatment by R&B singer Lee Carr. Not willing to merely stand by and let B criticize men and their supposedly chauvinistic ways, Carr offers an opposing hypothetical "if you were my girl" perspective. No matter what gender you are, you cannot argue with the New York native's message; neither gender is completely innocent when it comes to romantic relationships. Beyoncé's third studio album, the two-disc I Am…Sasha Fierce, will be available in stores and online on November 18.

Barbara Ehrenreich and her younger sister are very close. But her sister really, really does not like the title of Ehrenreich's new memoir, Living with a Wild God.
"She thinks I'm being too soft on theism in this book. She's like, how can you write a book with God in the title! It was hardcore, the atheism we came from," Ehrenreich says with a bemused laugh during a call to her home in Alexandria, Virginia, where she moved some years ago to be near her daughter and grandchildren.
As 19th-century San Francisco evolved from a rowdy Gold Rush boomtown into the financial center of the American West, its rambunctious poets and writers—especially the self-styled Bohemians—sought to bring a skeptical, caustic, humorous Western voice to American writing that had been long dominated by the relatively staid literary eminences of Boston and New York.
One of the more piquant pleasures of Porter Shreve's The End of the Book—a novel that offers the attentive reader a surfeit of pleasure—are the contrasting sensory details of Chicago near the turn of two centuries.
"I wanted to write about Wisconsin," Nickolas Butler says of the genesis of his soulful first novel, Shotgun Lovesongs, which gave voice to his homesickness.
"My first semester at the [Iowa] Writers Workshop, I was down there alone. I was sleeping in this terrible apartment," Butler says.
The surprising source of Bich Minh Nguyen's enthralling second novel, Pioneer Girl, was her discovery that Laura Ingalls Wilder's daughter Rose had traveled to Vietnam as a journalist in 1965.
Nguyen (pronounced New-win), whose family fled Vietnam in 1975 when she was 8 months old and settled eventually in Grand Rapids, Michigan, says she "had read the Little House on the Prairie books when I was a kid, and I loved them. And I would reread them as an adult as comfort literature."
Few writers engage readers in thinking about the meaning of scientific discoveries as well as Elizabeth Kolbert, a staff writer at The New Yorker. Kolbert's enviable talents, her wit and intelligence, the clarity of her prose, are on full display in The Sixth Extinction, a fascinating and alarming book that examines mass extinctions of life forms, past and present.
After writing three critically acclaimed novels, Gary Steyngart turned to memoir. Little Failure, published this month, is an unsparing, often funny, account of Steyngart's anxiety-ridden life from his early childhood in Russia, through his family's immigration to Queens, New York, and ending with the publication of his first novel. Our reading of the memoir raised some additional questions, which Shteyngart answered via email.
Acclaimed author E.L. Doctorow suggests a variety of ways to think about the form and movement of his short, swift, emotionally absorbing, intellectually troubling and often disconcertingly funny 12th novel, Andrew's Brain. "Think of it as an Installation," he writes in answer to an emailed question. "This book has a...
Near the end of his entrancing and unsparing memoir, Gary Shteyngart —author of three exuberant, award-winning novels—writes, "On so many occasions in my novels I have approached a certain truth only to turn away from it, only to point my finger and laugh at it and then scurry back to safety. In this book, I promised myself I would not point the finger. My laughter would be...
Shortly after its 2012 publication in England, Communion Town was longlisted for the Man Booker prize. With good reason, it turns out, because in this debut work, Sam Thompson writes prose that has the vivid elusiveness of a haunting dream and adroitly mixes genres in a manner that brings to mind a young David Mitchell.Despite its subtitle (the ubiquitous "A Novel"), Communion Town...

'Power supply available to farmers for only five hours'
The CPI (M) on Friday threatened to intensify its agitation against the State government if it continued to adopt an 'indifferent' attitude towards people's problems such as inflated power bills and failed to meet their demands, like payment of minimum wages to workers and allotment of house-sites.
The party will take up in the second week of December an awareness campaign to educate people.
At a press conference here, party's State Secretariat members S. Veeraiah and Ch. Sitaramulu, MLC, charged the government with showing disregard for solving people's problems, keeping in view the Telangana issue, uncertainty over Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy's future and 'sulking' legislators.
They said even the opposition parties were not showing an interest in finding solutions to problems and were busy with their leaders' 'padayatras'.
In such a scenario, the party's State Secretariat had decided to take up a public awareness campaign in an effort to 'awaken' the government.
Mr. Veeraiah listed the non-completion of minor irrigation projects, delay in according legal status to the SC, ST sub-plan, extension of a similar plan for minorities and artisans, non-supply of promised power to farmers and release of Nagarjunasagar Left Canal water for rabi crops.
Mr. Sitaramulu said although the meeting convened by the Chief Minister on NSP water release did take place, no action had been taken so far.
He alleged that power supply was being made available to farmers for only five hours, resulting in damage to pump sets.
Replying to a question, Mr. Veeraiah said the party did not visualise early elections, as was being talked about.

Media magnate issues an unprecedented signed public apology for the phone hacking scandal
After days of defiant denials, it was a "day of atonement," in the words of one of his own newspapers, as Rupert Murdoch on Saturday issued an unprecedented signed public apology for the phone hacking scandal.
In another belated gesture of contrition, the embattled media magnate met the family of Milly Dowler, the murdered schoolgirl, whose phone was hacked by a detective for the News of the World (NoW). It was the disclosure of the "Dowler case" by Guardian 10 days ago that revealed the scale of illegal newsgathering practices at the defunct NoW, sparking the fury that has brought the Murdoch empire to its knees.
The meeting with the Dowler family on Friday evening was described as "highly emotional." Mr. Murdoch was said to have "held his head" several times in shame and disbelief.
"He apologised many times. I don't think anybody could have held his head in his hands so many times," said the Dowler family's lawyer Mark Lewis.
Amid shouts from protesters as he emerged from the meeting at a London hotel, Mr. Murdoch said it was a "private meeting." Asked whether he had apologised, he said: "Of course, I have."
"Serious wrongdoing"
Barely 24 hours after insisting that only "minor mistakes" were made in handling the crisis, Mr. Murdoch's British media group, the News International (NI), took out a full-page advertisement in national newspapers admitting "serious wrongdoing" and regretting "not acting faster to sort things out."
The apology, headed "We are Sorry" and signed by Mr. Murdoch, said the "News of the World was in the business of holding others to account" but "it failed when it came to itself." Heavily punctuated with expressions of regret and admissions of wrongdoing, the advertisement said the company was "deeply sorry for the hurt suffered by the individuals affected."
At one point, dispensing with the corporate "we" and striking a personal note, Mr. Murdoch wrote: "I realise that simply apologising is not enough. Our business was founded on the idea that a free and open press should be a positive force in society. We need to live up to this. In the coming days, as we take further concrete steps to resolve these issues and make amends for the damage they have caused, you will hear more from us."
The string of apologies came ahead of Mr. Murdoch's much-anticipated appearance before the House of Commons media committee on Tuesday to answer questions about the scandal. His son James, chairman of NI, and Rebekah Brooks, its former chief executive, would also give evidence. Ms. Brooks was forced to resign on Friday after investors warned that her continued presence was becoming a liability for the company.
Crisis spreading
The crisis appeared to be spreading to his American business group News Corporation. In a surprise development, one of its top executives Les Hinton, described as Mr. Murdoch's "right-hand man," resigned expressing his "sorrow" at the "News of the World saga."

Morning all. I'm feeling very perky because a very good friend of mine has just got engaged to a lovely man.
I have some school things to do today (Small's very first public performance! I have charged up every camera in the house and emptied all the memory cards so I can capture every moment of my 5 year old jumping up and down on a stage.) So, since Im going to be rubbing shoulders with lots of other parents and probably in a confined space, it has got to be something quiet and polite. Usually I'd reach straight for my trusty Lovely, but there's a bottle on my desk that might be even better: Zara'a Lirio de Agua edt. This is simple, grassy and fresh, much in the mould of L'Eau par Kenzo. Perfect for a polite school event.
I hope you all hear good news today, too.

Oh, you guys! I barely know you, but I'm so pleased with my new perfume I'm going to blather for a little while!
Earlier this month I was working on a very difficult project, and at the time I thought to myself, "When this is all over, you can buy a Christian Dior perfume." Because I am a Dior-whore. A Diwhore. Hee. So anyway, the project is over and yesterday I got paid (wheee!), so I rolled into town this morning on a Dior hunt. I wanted something citrus, because I don't have a good citrus perfume, and it's summer. I was thinking Diorella or Eau Fraiche, or maybe even Miss Dior Cherie L'eau (which I actually really love, it's so pretty and sits so close to my skin, and I think it will be my birthday present to myself in a couple of months). So I sampled all of those, and then I tried Escale a Portofino, which went on really gorgeous. But it died on me after ten minutes, which was quite sad.
And then I tried Escale a Pondichery.
Oh my god.
Tea and bergamot and jasmine and sandalwood and ALL GOOD THINGS EVER. It's lovely! This is my new Dior fragrance and my scent of the day! I'm really, really pleased! Even though it's not a citrus. And I don't usually like tea scents. But, oh my god, it's so good. I highly recommend it.
I hope you are all wearing beautiful perfumes today! xxx

Best to those feeling poorly and a great day to all!

(tee hee hee Mel_Lou...tell us how you RULLY feel about Escale a Pondichery!!)
Gotta say I can relate, though. Last night and this ayem in newly discovered Keiko Mecheri Mogador....roses to the max! Doesn't get that much love in the directory but what the hey! On me an almost equal to La Rose Jacquminot. And for me that's saying a lot!! MUST have.
Like I said before - this sample program is gonna cost me a bundle!!

I have a big smile on my face reading everybody's posts this morning. I'm wearing Versace edp by Versace. This one has really grown on me, especially in the hot weather we've been having. The drydown is lovely. Then I read Wordbird's SotD - Lovely, and I was thinking, "hmmm...that sounds nice..." although I was envisioning the Covet, bottle, so I might go with that later on because it's rather strange and might be interesting later in the evening. And then I read Mel_Lou's (welcome Mel_Lou!) post about how she's fallen in love with Pondicherry, and that sounds so nice, too! Dang, everybody just smells so good, and it's so inspiring! But I can't stay and daydream, I have lots to do this morning. Then I get to reward myself with a lecture at the library on Virginia birds.
It doesn't bother me if fragrances don't get a lot of love in the directory, though. As you say, what the hey! We all like what we like. I love Alyssa Ashley Musk Oil, and I'm really fond of Body Shop perfume oils. They don't get a lot of love, though! Apart from the Patchouli oil, which I still cannot find anywhere, curses.
Welcome Mel_Lou, and happy birthday Indiscreet, wherever you may be my dear!!!
Today my DD "graduates" from elementary school, and I am risking her wrath to take 2 minutes to post before I head out to the celebration!
Decided to lemming Petruccij from yesterday in Marc Jacobs Ivy Splash. Despite having no "ivy accord" in the notes, it does smell to me like green, slightly waxy ivy leaves! And other wonderful things, too.
Ivy splash:
Top Notes of Nutmeg, Mandarin, Cardamom. Middle Notes of Candy Cane accord, Orris. Base Notes of Suede, Tonka, Vetiver, Sandalwood.

Yay, Thrusday!
Left the house scentless, hoping to make a quick dash around the shops before work. Better to be hung for an hour than a half hour, eh?
Installed myself in front of the Hermès display and ended up in Un Jardin Après Le Mousson. Despite a few moments of "Watermelon?? Chai tea??" confusion, I'm rather liking this.
Out here we are running for the wide open spaces, the road-smell after the rain.
Lots of happy posts today! Hi ComDiva – hope to see you soon!!!!!
What pure joy when you're wearing a scent that just sings on your skin. I mean most days, a loved fragrance smells great, and you enjoy it as always. But there are those special days when the same scent just wafts up from your skin in 'total perfection'...where every single note shines brilliantly on it's own and in complete harmony with the others....do you know what I mean?
I'm actually having one of those days with 31, rue Cambon. It's going back and forth between gorgeous iris and lemony-woodsy, chypre notes, and making me quite jubilant! Love this fragrance
I hope everyone has a beautiful Thursday!

Art: Actias luna's other hobby - along with some impromptu "performance writing" here on Basenotes!
In answer to the Carven....Vert et Blanc. I struggle with the very beginning on this one. I had a vintage bottle before and this strong, sharp, sweet and dry at the same time, urinous, slightly stale note blasts over at first. The first time I had tried it, I had assumed that note to be due to it's great age as it was a dark amount left in an ancient bottle, but this new (1958?) little mini bottle is a much paler liquid, and comes over the same way, so now I'm not so sure. It is delightful after that, very creamy and dark green with a strong base rooting the planty aspect behind it like damp earth. I cannot make it out, not being familiar with a civet note. I would imagine it is something like that. It's a very hard one to suss, and I'm not that experienced in note detection. I tend to love old fashioned green Chypres and this is certainly one of them.
Has anyone else got it and fancies trying it at the same time?
Neil Morris's Gandhara for me today.
Hello everyone!
It's the fifth consecutive day of rose-chypres for me, this time it's the tragically discontinued Donna Trussardi from 1994 (created by Jean Guichard, the nose responsible for Cacharel's Eden and LouLou, as well as CK Obsession for Women and Cartier's So Pretty, among others.) I went through a big bottle of this in the '90s and never replaced it, although I've kept a mini around so I'd always "have" it, but I think I need to begin a new hunt. It's very similar to some other favorites (Rose Cardin, La Perla and Parfum Prive, 1000 de Patou) but Donna Trussardi has a bit more rose and less moss and patchouli than some of the more chypre-y of those...it's really more of a leathery rose, but I feel the base enough to call it a chypre. It's lush and spicy, and the rose is very assertive and robust. Just gorgeous from start to finish. But the thing that really grabs me is the wonderful dose of Mom's Sunday Purse, complete with gleaming hardware. Want.
Top notes - aldehydes, bergamot, mandarin, hyacinth, ginger, coriander
Middle notes - ylang-ylang, rose, orris, tuberose, carnation, jasmine
Base notes - patchouli, cedar, labdanum, moss, cedar, benzoin
Congratulations to Wordbird and ComDiva - please extend the "Well-dones" to the performer/graduate!
Also, a belated welcome to mel_lou - you're among friends here so blather away!
Y'all have a fantastic day!

For sale. Carnal Flower and Vero Profumo Onda.
TaoLady, I forgot to mention how gorgeous you smell!! I'm a bit envious, as I've had Mogador on my WishList for ages, and I've gone through two large decants. They're empty now and I haven't sniffed it in months, but oh, the memory....it almost hurts. Damascena is another nice rosey-posey from Keiko, but Mogador is To Die For! Ignore the directory - you smell divine!
eta - Actually, I just checked and the reviews aren't bad, there just aren't very many of them. All of Keiko Mecheri's fragrances seemed to be well-liked by those who try them (I love them!) but that audience seems small to me....or just not very vocal. I've been enjoying all of your reviews, and I agree with your eloquent praise. Definitely an under-appreciated house.

Antaeus Sport by Chanel (from a sample - thanks AromiErotici)
One of the best sport fragrances out there. The 80's powerhouse vibe is toned down quite nicely, by a gentle refreshing accord. Delightful!
Today's thread is full of cheer and joy! I love it!
I'm planning a super-productive day at work. My liberal spritzing of L'Eau de Jatamansi should offer support. Right now, I'm just groovin' on the cardamom. :-)
Strange Invisible Perfumes -Trapeze
Nearly retro, this mysterious blend combines the unlikely bedfellows;
tuberose & carnation with vetiver & spearmint.
Dense, sweet but gutsy and fresh, this scent has the
chutzpa required for such derring do.

Happy "Thrus" day to all! We all seem to be downright thrusting vivacious.
Wordbird: We expect a full report on Small's performance as only you can tell it.
Indiscreet: We're ready to light the candles and pop a cork. Are you about?
Mel_lou: I think I can speak for many in saying I got a vicarious thrill from your tale. Except now it's driving me nuts why I can't find my Lilybelle sample of Portofino. (It's time to reorganize the sample drawer again.) You've got me very excited about Pondichery, which is on my very short list (countable by fingers and toes) of scents I must try in Boston.
Lilybelle: If I could teletransport, I would sit next to you at the library today.
I have this thing today wait, let me look up the spelling as I'm not terribly familiar with the word it's spelled l-e-i-s-u-r-e. That's right! Spare time, a loose schedule, R&R, downtime. And DH and the dog are at the rental property today, so I even get extra privacy. Will soon take a l-e-i-s-u-r-e-l-y shower and choose SotD.
Smelly story: My dear Aunt Rita and other relatives visited here on Sunday. We took a lap around the outside of the house, and I pointed out that the elderberry shrubs are blooming (knowing that my Grandma used to make a kind of fritter with them by dipping them in batter and frying them). Now I don't ever remember my Aunt Rita losing it emotionally before, but when she smelled those flowers, she put her hand to her chest and her voice cracked as she staggered back and gasped, Mother My 77-year-old aunt hadn't smelled those blossoms in probably over 50 years. It was awesome to witness the impact of this scent.
In a world where 6 million people are added each month, every landscape matters.
Everyone's in a great mood today! Love it! I'm in Chanel No. 5 Eau Premiere from my brand new bottle. This is coming to New Orleans with me - I'm visiting this weekend for the first time. Can't wait!!
mel-lou, you make Pondicherry sound HEAVENLY! And Tao-Lady, Mogador was one of my favorites from the Mecheri samples ... it has so much more presence and gravity than some of her scents, it's just beautiful.
I'm in 1990 Vent Vert today. Fresh, brisk, and sweetly green. I don't know what the original smelled like, but I do love this version of it so much -- it's everything I want a green perfume to be.

Mumsy, I have this & find it deeper than Ma Griffe. I think there must be more aldehydes in MaGriffe. I get much more oak moss and vetiver in this one. I definitely prefer it to MaGriffe. MaGriffe is beautiful and showcases gardenia, but this is the queen of the two, IMO. It is just drop-dead sexy with that deep dark clary sage to anchor it. I think your lighter liquid is certainly the higher quality scent & with a lengthy dri-down the oak moss should kick in to mellow it. This is a winner of a chypre from 1946. a real gem. Congratulations on your find!
Carven Vert et Blanc features notes of gardenia, galbanum, aldehydes, clary sage, jasmine, ylang-ylang, sandal, vetiver, styrax, cinnamon, benzoin, labdanum.

Wearing Ava Luxe's Turkish Vanilla today. It is indistinguishable from POTL on me - yay for less expensive smell-alikes!
What an exuberant and fragrant bunch you are today! Welcome, mel_lou! Congrats to Wordbird and ComDiva!
My Ava Luxe order arrived yesterday so I am officially out of my perfume rut, at least for the next little while. I am wearing Moroccan Mint Tea today, which I have never tried before, and fairly hyperventilating from repeated sniffings of my wrists. Have a wonderful Thrusday, and -- take care, all.
SotA is Origins Ginger Essence. I'm surprised by how much I like that ginger note!
Welcome mel lou! I don't normally care for tea scents either, but you've inspired me to put Pondicherry on my test list!
Congrats also to everyone with graduating little ones. I'm still waiting for my LO to graduate to the outside world!
Boxes are arriving daily-- stroller, carseat... It's like Joe's getting a birthday party before he's even born. I'm off to play with his new toys in Gucci Envy. Have a wonderful Thursday!

I've been wearing a sample of Tocca Bianca today. It's pleasant enough but not compelling, not enough for a FB.

My stay with my family at the hotel was great.
July 15, 2013
Family Traveling with Teens
This hotel looked good on priceline. Obviously, the pictures were of another, newer version of this hotel. The lobby was the size of a small bathroom, it was old, smelled bad, very dirty, and completely rough characters were milling around. Our daughter and her friend were particularly uncomfortable with the packing (yes, a gun) man in a wife-beater t-shirt groping them with his eyes, in the bathroom sized lobby. My husband spoke with the manager, refused to stay there (after seeing the room - it was filthy), "yes, this is the one we give to anyone who books through priceline," the manager said. The manager promised he would authorize a refund to priceline for us, but then completely denied that. We did stay a single night but got stuck with a $xx bill for it. We filed complaints with the BBB against Priceline and the actual hotel. False advertising. Calling this a 2 star hotel is simply ridiculous. Maybe 1/2 star, maybe zero star. Gross. We are done with Priceline. ...

As an inexpensive relatively clean and furnished with basics (fridge, microwave, etc.) very nice. Major drawbacks are no common area or lobby (I've seen some hotels convert a room into a common area). Certainly, the idea that since I booked thru Priceline I was low on the list will cause my to very leery about booking anything thru Priceline express in the future thinking that this experience is typical! ...

Newly instated Union minister of state for information and broadcasting Prakash Javadekar and his mother Rajani were in tears when his mother said, "Aaj Baba Hawe Hote (I wish your father were here today)," when he visited her on Sunday.
During his first visit to his hometown after his induction in to the Union Cabinet, Javadekar made it a point to visit his widowed mother's house at Vadagaon Dhayari, on the outskirts of Pune.
All the Javadekars including the minister's sisters and other relatives had gathered at their one BHK ground floor flat in Dhayari.
Javadekar's father Keshav Krushnaji Javadekar was a well-known journalist of his time and passed away on February 2 this year. On entering his parental home Javadekar knelt before his father's photograph. He was served his favourite Marathi sweet shira by his niece. After he took charge of his Union Minister portfolio his mother had distributed pedhas in the neighbourhood.
Javadekar told the media it had been 100 days since his father's death. He said, "Had he lived for 100 more days, he would have been there to see this day."
Javadekar's maternal cousins, sisters and their family members had gathered at their small flat in Dhayari to enjoy a 30-minute get-together.

I have to be totally honest and say that sometimes I'm at a loss for something to do. It doesn't happen often, or not often enough. This week was not one. I spent almost every morning at the high school taking pictures of the kids for the anti-bullying campaign. I thought it was a great way to make kids think about how they treat one another. I was very pleased that Principal Mario Willis asked me to come and was so gracious in helping me find the right kids. I had a good time with students.
Theresa Bailey's class had been saving their pennies, change, and dollars for their 100th day of School Celebration. They goal was to raise $100 for the 100th day of school to go to the West Point Animal Shelter. They raised the $100 and to accept the money and to show their appreciation WPCCAS Director Lisa Henley brought puppies Merle and Miller in to visit with the Church Hill students. Their donation along with another donation aided in the Heartworm treatment of another dog named Dakota, who was very sick.

A mighty Spring Storm will hit downtown West Point—a "perfect" storm of Art, that is! Creativity will fill the air as more than 50 fine artists, crafts men and women display their art in the first annual Historic Downtown Art Walk, Saturday, April 13th.
The staff of the Hampton Inn and Suites of West Point truly have something to be proud about, as they were notified just last week that they will soon be the recipients of the Hilton Circle of Excellence Award.
When a $10 a month garbage bill reaches a whopping $2,000 it's probably safe to say there's a problem.
And that particular problem was discussed Thursday by the Clay County Board of Supervisors and Clay County Tax Assessor/Collector Paige Lamkin, who requested further action be taken to collect delinquent garbage fees.
It has become an annual occurrence for the West Point junior high football teams and their fellow conference members as they met up once again on the football field for a junior high spring jamboree.
After a month of hard and competitive practices, the Junior Green Wave hit the gridiron on a cold and windy Tuesday evening in Starkville to put their talents on display against other teams. And even though the time of year is not traditionally a time for football, the players, coaches, and fans seemed more than excited to catch some pigskin action.
It is spring time! It's time for everyone to start sticking their heads outside and enjoying the bright sun and great weather with some kind of fun activity. Whether it is watching a baseball game or taking in a round of golf or even just taking a step outside, spring is the best time to do any of these activities.
