On 31 March 2004 Mexicana won the distinction of becoming the first operator to voluntarily drop out of the Star Alliance. The carrier's termination from the grouping came after Mexciana decided to end its long-time codeshare agreement with Star member United Airlines.
Fast-forward a few years, and the big question about where Mexicana would end up has been answered. Yesterday, the carrier accepted a formal invitation to join the Oneworld alliance.
Due to this development, I'm happy to announce that the Runway-Girlfriend-For-A-Day award goes to mister "anonymous" blog poster, who on 12 March made a comment that if he was a bookie, he'd be "slashing the odds on Mexicana" to join Oneworld.
Please step forward and accept your prize. I've got a load of laundry with your name on it.
While you're folding neatly, I'd like to ask you about Brazilian carrier TAM (which flew my butt from JFK to Sao Paulo on Tuesday). I arrived at JFK from Philadelphia on a Bombardier CRJ200 operated by Delta subsidiary Comair. I didn't need to re-check my bag at JFK through to Sao Paulo. Delta had already done that for me at Philly through the magic of interlining. But an agent at the Philly desk – who will remain nameless as I forget his name – seemed to think that TAM has designs on joining SkyTeam.
So I ask you mister anonymous (and your friends), do you think TAM might join SkyTeam. What about Star? That grouping's CEO Jaan Albrecht, while at an event in Istanbul to mark Turkish Airlines' new membership into Star, hinted that TAM would soon be unveiled as the alliance's latest member. Star's members are forming bilateral partnerships with TAM, often a precursor to formal alliance membership.
Okay, so back to the Oneworld announcement. It was made yesterday during a ceremony in Los Angeles attended by CEO Manual Borja with his counterparts from all ten of Oneworld's established member airlines. Mexicana's subsidiary Click Mexicana will join at the same time, as an affiliate member.
Oneworld says the process will take between 12- and 18 months to complete. Iberia will assist the process as sponsor of Mexicana.
"Mexicana is now moving into the next phase of our development strategy. Joining the world's leading quality airline alliance will enable Mexicana to build on our excellent relationships with our established partners American Airlines and Iberia," say Borja.

CAFES Offers Sustainable Agriculture Option
By Kendra Knutson
NOV. 20, 2006--The University of Wisconsin-River Falls has added a new sustainable agriculture option within the crop and soils major in the College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences.
The sustainable agriculture option was approved a recent faculty senate meeting after more than two years in the planning stage.
"In this new option students will study economically viable production systems that promote land productivity, energy efficiency, environmental stewardship, and rural community viability," said Mike Crotser, professor of plant and earth science.
The goals of the program are to provide the students with knowledge and skills needed to produce food, fiber and other agriculture products within the framework of sustainable agriculture systems; learn to market sustainable agricultural products in local, national, and international markets; and explore and promote land stewardship and agricultural community viability.
Some of the courses in this option include: sustainable agriculture, organic certification principles and practices, soil and water conservation, farm management, fruit science and production, integrated pest management, and many more.
In their future, sustainable agriculturalists use their curiosity and enthusiasm to solve problems within our current agricultural systems. They also work to sustain rural communities and educate consumers. Many are producers of value-added crops such as organic produce, grains and meats, said Crotser.
Other areas in which sustainable agriculturalists provide assistance include: technical support in crop and animal production systems, development of soil and nutrient management plans, insect and disease control with integrated pest management techniques, and natural and sustainable food products marketing.
Bottom line, Crotser says, is that they strive to make agriculture more efficient, environmentally sound and sustainable for future generations.
This option was initiated by a student request within the college. "Since it was recently approved, we are still waiting for the first student to take on the sustainable agriculture option," said Crotser.
UWRF also offers a relatively new option in sustainable community development through its Master of Science degree program in the College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences.
The sustainable community development option is designed for those seeking to apply their unique interests, knowledge and skills to the benefit of their communities. Working with a faculty advisor, each student develops a customized, experientially based degree plan allowing them to focus on a specific sustainability emphasis. Students can choose from community-based agricultural production, food processing, land use planning, nature tourism or conservation/biology. Participants can choose from a thesis or research paper or non-thesis paper or project.
The M.S. program also offers two other options: an initial certification in agricultural education for prospective agricultural education teachers and a professional development in agricultural education option designed for educators in both classrooms and non-formal settings.
For more information about the master's degree programs in sustainable community development, contact the Outreach and Graduate Studies Office at 715-425-3256, 1-800-228-5607 or e-mail email@example.com . For information about the undergraduate sustainability option in the crops and soils major contact the Plant and Earth Science Department at 715-425-3345.

NEWORLEANS-- One of the American Songbook's greatest clarinetists and a musical icon, Pete Fountain, has retired from performing.
His son-in-law and longtime manager, Benny Harrell, said Thursday night that Fountain, who is 83 years old, is in good health but just feels it's time to retire.
Fountain's last performance was almost a year ago at last year's Jazz Fest, and this year's fest will be one of the few in which he will not perform.
This past Mardi Gras, Fountain rode on a float with his Half-Fast Walking Club but did not perform.

The Black Album
Rock 'n' roll is a means of pulling the white man down to the level of the Negro. -- Asa Carter, secretary of the North Alabama White Citizens Council, 1956
Ironically, 50 years down the line, rock 'n' roll has done such a good job of "pulling the white man down" that black folks -- who created the genre -- hardly rock at all anymore. Indeed, it often seems like any black musician daring to play rock is likely to be regarded as an interloper by the predominantly white rock audience, as well as a turncoat within the African-American community, where only hip-hop, jazz and R&B are considered acceptable. This brutal irony is the subject of the new documentary Electric Purgatory: The Fate of the Black Rocker by Houston filmmaker Raymond Gayle.
"When Fishbone was coming up in the '80s, they were playing the same clubs -- and sleeping on the same floors -- with Jane's Addiction and the Red Hot Chili Peppers," says Gayle. "Those other two groups became megastars, but just look what happened to Fishbone." One example of the 'bone's fate: The legendary ska/rock band opened for the slightly melanin-deficient Slightly Stoopid (who?) here at the Engine Room just last week.
The film does a fine job exposing the black roots under rock's platinum dye job, with scintillating onstage footage of Prince, Little Richard, Rick James, Sly and the Family Stone, Living Colour and Eddie "Maggot Brain" Hazel. There's also a detailed discussion of the white rock audience's apparently one-time-only embrace of "super-Negro" Jimi Hendrix, still considered by many rock fans to be the only black rocker worthy of note.
Although several of these artists seem on the brink of despair, Electric Purgatory does its best to be forward-looking. "Whether you let us in or not," says Jimi Hazel of 24-7 Spyz toward the end of the film, "we're gonna kick in the door."

Economist who foresaw burst bubbles voices caution
Q: If you were a national housing czar with unilateral authority to do whatever you deemed necessary to help the markets and restore faith, what steps would you take?
A: This crisis was caused substantially by a failure to manage real estate risk properly. And so we should be thinking like financiers about that risk, and how it should be managed. The mortgage institution we have is traditional. There's no reason why we shouldn't rethink it completely. The Dodd-Frank Act called for a study of shared appreciation mortgages. Those are mortgages where the risk of loss and gain on the house is shared with the lender. So if home prices go down, it's not all on the shoulders of the homeowners.
Q: Do you see more rentals and apartments over the next decade? Do you think single-family homeownership will continue on maybe a slow but steady decline?
A: After the Great Stock Market Crash of 1929, people soured on stocks as investments. And I could see that happening with housing. The assumptions people have been making that buying a house is the American dream and that that's what you have to do - that kind of assumption is not ringing so true anymore.
Q: Will the foreclosure settlement for about $25 billion between states and the five biggest mortgage lenders strengthen the housing market?
A: The problem is that the decline in the housing market dwarfs this agreement. The total decline of the housing market has been in the trillions, and negative equity in housing, by one estimate, was about $700 billion. So this is too small to be very effective. It all helps, I suppose, but it's not big.
Q: Do you think there's a bubble forming in the U.S. stock market or in any other asset?
A: It doesn't seem to me that we're in a bubble situation as we were, say, in the 1990s. In the 1990s, there was just a general mood that we're entering a new millennium, with Internet technology and advanced technology and America soaring. It was a bubble all over the world, really. I don't know that we're in that state of confidence now.
Q: Do you think any asset bubbles are forming in China?
A: China had what looks like a bubble, but the government has taken steps against it. This is another reason not to expect bubbles so much. The stock market bubble of the 1990s and the housing bubble of the 2000s were still at a time when central bankers and government authorities believed much more in free-market efficiency than they do now. The authorities are now thinking that it's their responsibility to choke off bubbles.
Q: If you had to put all your money for the next decade in either stocks or super-safe, inflation-protected securities from the U.S. Treasury (TIPS), what would you do?
A: Stocks. They're highly priced, and they're risky, but they've had a good historic record. And last time I looked, inflation index bonds have a negative real yield.

Immigrants at the Margins
Law, Race, and Exclusion in Southern Europe
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreSpain and Italy have recently become countries of large-scale immigration. This provocative book explores immigration law and the immigrant experience in these southern European nations, and exposes the tension between the temporary and contingent legal status of most immigrants, and the government emphasis on integration. This book reveals that while law and the rhetoric of policymakers stress the urgency of integration, not only are they failing in that effort, but law itself plays a role in that failure. In addressing this paradox, the author combines theoretical insights and extensive data from myriad sources collected over more than a decade to demonstrate the connections among immigrants' role as cheap labor - carefully inscribed in law - and their social exclusion, criminalization, and racialization. Extrapolating from this economics of alterité, this book engages more general questions of citizenship, belonging, race and community in this global era. less

Is Google Voice useful?
Answers Given
Answers Favorited
I have a Google Voice account (and a Grand Central account before that!), but I don't use it much. I think I should use it more, because in theory, Google Voice seems to do everything. Is anyone using it exclusively for their phone number? I sense that since smart phones came along and got smarter, that the need or niche for Google Voice diminished. Tell what Google Voice is good for, and what you use it for?0

To check a canoe paddle for size, stand it on the ground in front of you. The handle should come to the height of your chin if you plan to paddle from the bow of the canoe; it should come to the height of your eye if you plan to paddle from the stern. — Peter van Berkum, Kittery Point, Maine

West Point is rich in the arts, and people around the state are beginning to take notice.
Already famous for the community's Howlin' Wolf Blues Festival and the Prairie Arts Festival in September, Clay County is now home to two spring events that showcase regional artists, as well as local ones.
The first of the two will take place this Saturday at the Bryan Public Library.
This is the Second Annual East Mississippi Community College Art Show.
It will feature 50 pieces of art by 25 students from EMCC, as well as five faculty members.
It has been an eventful new year for Angela Turner so far.
The recently-elected Senator for District 16 has been busy at the state capitol since she took office on January 15 in a special election.
The Clay County native is up to speed with the issues that face legislators during the current 90-day session, and she shared some of her insights on what the final leg of the session will look like during Monday morning's Legislative Breakfast at City Hall.
"I've hit the ground running," Turner said of the last month and a half.
A small portion of the delinquent service fees owed by Comcast Cable was paid recently to the city of West Point, but since receiving that payment the city has not received a dime of the large balance remaining.
In their Jan. 8 meeting, the West Point Board of Mayor and Selectmen granted Comcast a 45-day extension of time to pay the $6,000 franchise fee owed to the city's general fund and to enter into a contract through which Comcast would pay $15 per pole attachment.
Constituents of Ward 3 in West Point now have one more candidate to consider voting for in the May 7 Primary Election for elected municipal offices in the city of West Point.
Just last week Ken Poole, investigator with the West Point Police Department, declared his intention at City Hall to run for the office of Ward 3 selectman as a democratic candidate. Two other individuals declared their intent several weeks ago to run for the post, including Jimmy Clark and incumbent Charles Collins.

I don't even care if it's a sniper but I'd like some more righties than White. Think the Tigers would let us borrow someone?

I know we lead the league in points by D men, but often times I feel like guys go back to the point instead of taking it inside and roofing the shot. Perhaps it's become second nature to play catch with the blue line but I would like to see them keep it down low. Just a thought.

Money on the board-
Five bucks for any Miller, Andy or Glenny goal (and double to 10 bucks for Glenny if it's on the forehand!)
A buck for every Gus and Tatar Tuna goal
Two bucks a shut out....and I think Petey can post a few
And in honour of Marchy saving me from shotputting a bottle through the TV because of a Smith DERP moment, Five bucks for any Marchenko goal!

You can say 13 and 5 but it wasn't clicking before they were injured.
Yeah really. The best lineup we've seen was Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Franzen / Lidstrom-White but then it cooled. Both special teams are 15/16th I believe. I really hope that changes.

Edmonton and Vancouver both cycle down low alot. Get the defenders moving around. Nashville plays theirs pretty similar to ours. There isn't really any one thing to fix the PP. Just be smart, patient, quick, work hard...
Same for the PK I suppose. I want to say shot blocking, but LA, Vancouver, and NJ are all near the top in PK and bottom in blocks. Sharks are near the top in blocks but bottom in PK.

On July 9, 2011, the national flag was raised for the first time in the new country of South Sudan. Even as official ceremonies were underway in the capital Juba, the country began to confront fundamental dilemmas about how to establish the basic patterns of governance. What should the system of government look like? Should it be federal, with powerful regional states? Should responsibilities be transferred to local governments, or even to community organizations? Do questions such as local capacity and national stability speak for or against decentralizing government?
Countries across Africa have wrestled with such questions, many of which are about which levels of government have (or should have) authority, power, resources, and responsibilities in order to best respond to public needs. Decentralization is a growing governance trend in Africa, and as USAID policymakers and programming officers develop their strategies for work in countries like South Sudan, they will increasingly be taking it into account.
Since 2010, USAID has developed a set of reports that study and glean lessons from African experiences with decentralization. The reports covered 10 African countries documenting their experiences and examining in each case how decentralization affects key governance characteristics. Among the characteristics of interest are the legal authority of subnational units, their degree of autonomy from the central government, along with patterns of accountability between actors, and the overall capacity of actors in African governance. The overall success of decentralization experiences in Africa depends upon a mix of these characteristics that gives local actors greater opportunities for decision-making while also ensuring that the central government retains the power to oversee and monitor local actors.

Wear Mini Launcher gives quick access to smartwatch apps
While smartwatches are supposed to make our lives easier by letting us read notifications and do tasks without opening our devices, it's still in its early stages and so it's still a pain to use sometimes. It takes users a few steps to open an app, even with the voice prompt feature. Wear Mini Launcher is a new app created for wearables, specifically to give easy access to locally installed apps on your smartwatch.

While most engineering aspirants dream of getting into India's premier engineering institute, the Indian Institute of Technology, around 750 candidates of the over 18,000 who cracked JEE (Advance) recently, have opted out.
According to information available, of the 18,061 candidates declared eligible to seek admission in 16 IITs and ISM Dhanbad, only 17,311 had registered themselves for admission. This implies that 750 who had qualified don't wish to study in IIT or ISM.
"This number could go up as some candidates tend to drop out even after seats have been allotted," said a highly placed official.
Over 27,151 candidates have got through JEE (Advance) with 19,416 in common merit list, 6,000 in OBC (NCL), 4,400 in SC and 1,250 in ST merit lists.
"Of the 19,416 candidates, only 18,061 were allowed to register due to the limited number of seats. However, only 17,311 have filled the option form, a mandatory step for seeking a seat in IIT or ISM," said K Narasimhan, chairman, JEE at IIT Bombay.
Experts say that while many of those that have opted out may have chosen foreign universities, some may have preferred studying in BITS or some other private universities rather than studying in the "not so good" IITs.
"While five older IITs are still the top five choices of aspirants, newer IITs based in Ropar, Mandi, Jodhpur, Hyderabad, Patna, Bhubaneshwar, Indore and Gandhinagar are rated below Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS) and National Institute of Technology (NITs). These poor cousins still operate from rented campuses and struggle on parameters like infrastructure and quality teachers," said a professor.
"Their placement records and average salary packages are not so encouraging while BITS and some of the NITs have better track record," said a student.
Seat allocation for IITs and ISM is currently going on. The first merit list was announced on July 1. Over 9,784 seats are up for grab this year.
Prof Narasimhan said: "No seat will remain vacant as we have chosen twice the number of candidates vis-a-vis available seats unlike the previous year when we took only 1.5 times the required number."

Now, that's good news
Independent brand Newspaper Boy is making waves, showcasing the country's budding streetwear style.
Although boasting archaic inspirations (read: classic looks dating back to the '30s), the brand's philosophy is to take classic silhouettes and prints and inject them with modern elements. Think batik prints infused with two-tone collar contrasts, or more classical silhouettes adorned with quirky buttons.
While mixing the old with the new, the brand gently nudges its consumers into remembering there is beauty in being playful and carefree. "That's what we try to represent, through everything we do as a brand," co-owner Paco Naguiat says.
When asked who they think a Newspaper Boy is, the owners say they do not try to limit their market by having age parameters, or define them through personality types.
Being optimistic is what that icon encourages.
Newspaper Boy is also part of Platform Show III 4 p.m. on Saturday at M Café in Greenbelt. The event highlights Manila's talented youth through 40 hand-selected independent brands. These fashion and lifestyle brands offer unique finds and represent the growing streetwear industry. Through this avenue for networking and exercising their business acumen, this new generation of Manila-shapers will only get stronger.

Moody's published a piece the other week that analogized credit quality in the CRE capital markets to the boiling frog – that if you put a frog in cold water and slowly raise the temperature, it never jumps out until it, pardon the pun, croaks. Tad, please tell me you never actually tried that in your youth. I may have done some things as a 12 year old that might have led to questions about whether I was entirely well adjusted, but I never boiled a frog. Do we know that it even works? What a great MythBusters episode. PETA would have a fit.
Let's assume, for argument's sake, that said boiling frog does indeed sit still to get stewed. But the analogy for our markets breaks down, doesn't it? NO ONE LET THE FROG IN ON THE JOKE. You think that maybe if the frog knew that it was about to be al dente, it might have elected to leave the kitchen?
This market has been publically hand wringing over credit quality, credit standards, the deterioration of credit standards, the tensions between risk and the driving need for yield, and the tendency for markets to overshoot almost since the expansion began. For sure, we have been let in on the joke. While a crowd (or a market) is sometimes thought of as something with more than two feet and less than one brain, this industry is more than aware of the risks associated with pushing too hard on the credit envelope. We get it. Oh, there are data suggesting the industry is getting aggressive, to be sure. LTVs are going up, some tough time structures are softening and valuations, having perhaps undershot the target during the bad years, are, to say the least, not doing that now.
We indeed will jump before we croak. Maybe, maybe, because we all have five year memories in a seven year cycle, we have sometimes waited a tad long to get out, but this time the memories of the late lamented fall are both so fresh and so vivid that it remains front of mind. Just a touch of tepid might, this time pretty rapidly cause the froggy tenant to leave the house.
Right now, the cycle is still our friend. Withdrawing capital from real estate markets when its needs are robust is not without costs. Having come out of one of the worst troughs in the real estate market that I have seen in my professional career, we can recognize the fact that the current market is more likely than not to continue to grind up for quite some time without shame. Look, history is not over, the cycle is not dead and it will turn down at some point. When the expansion begins to get elderly, it will be time to get increasingly vigilant. One hopes that the market will remain disciplined as the market grows in maturity and the appetite for yield remains unsatiated, but it's a little early to light our hair on fire or look out for boiling frogs. The memories of 2007 and 2008 are still raw, and still have a certain immediacy. The water will eventually begin to get hot over the months and years ahead, but this time, there's a fair chance the frog will be long gone before it boils.

Professor Kris Gutiérrez has a rule about her after-school program at Alicia Sanchez Elementary School in Lafayette: "If you're not having fun, something is going wrong."
Associate Professor Helen Norton, associate dean for Academic Affairs at Colorado Law, was one of three educators named a 2014 President's Teaching Scholar, recognized for her ability to skillfully integrate teaching and research at an exceptional level. The title of President's Teaching Scholar signifies CU's highest recognition of excellence in and commitment to learning and teaching, as well as active, substantial contributions to scholarly work.
Professor Robert S. Anderson of the University of Colorado Boulder's geological sciences department and Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research has been awarded the 2014 Hazel Barnes Prize, the most distinguished award a faculty member can receive from the university.
CU system news release
DENVER – Three faculty members from across the University of Colorado system have been named 2014 President's Teaching Scholars, each recognized as an educator who skillfully integrates teaching and research at an exceptional level.
The title of President's Teaching Scholar signifies CU's highest recognition of excellence in and commitment to learning and teaching, as well as active, substantial contributions to scholarly work. CU President Bruce D. Benson solicits annual nominations of faculty for the designation, which is a lifetime appointment.
When Christina Chandler transferred to the University of Colorado Boulder as an English major, her advisor pushed her to take a course in classics. It would meet a requirement, the advisor said, and it fit into her schedule.
Chandler, who didn't think she'd be interested in the subject, was not happy. But she gave in.
As an undergrad studying ecology and evolutionary biology, Lizzie Lombardi found herself as one of the few "plant" people on a team of University of Colorado Boulder engineering students who were tasked with a lofty mission: build a robotic system that could garden in space.
Want to compare an experiment you can easily conduct on Earth to a similar one on the International Space Station, which is whipping around 200 miles over our heads at a mind-blowing 17,000 miles per hour? Well, here's your chance.
The University of Colorado Boulder and its educational partners are seeking K-12 teachers and students around the world interested in how the low gravity of space, which makes astronauts float, affects the behavior of ants up there.
In grade school classrooms across the country, students have been hard at work this semester trying to figure out how to smash a virtual frog with a virtual truck. They're building their own video games—inspired by the 1980s classic Frogger—and there are a thousand details to work out.
In just one hour, school kids, teachers and any code-curious member of the public with an Internet connection can now create their own 3-D video game using a tutorial built by a team at the University of Colorado Boulder in preparation for the global "Hour of Code" event happening the second week of December.
Every gift matters, no matter the size.

a lot. that's why i dont spend $100+ on creed. great colognes smell great, and last long. doesnt need to be all day, but longer than 4 hours. i prefer 6-8 hr range.
Thread: How important is longevity?
How important is Perfume Longevity?
a lot. that's why i dont spend $100+ on creed. great colognes smell great, and last long. doesnt need to be all day, but longer than 4 hours. i prefer 6-8 hr range.
Don't "at least 6+ hours" and "more than 6 hours" mean essentially the same thing?
My answer would be that less than 4 hours is a problem. I do value more time beyond that, but it's not a huge issue.
I like strong, long-lasting fragrances. Twelve hours is ideal, I'd say, but six hours is just fine. Three hours or less and I'm left feeling ripped-off of a drydown.
Longevity is very important to me but scents lasts very poorly on my skin.
For me, longevity was mostly a newbie issue. Once I was able to avoid top note problems, I could always smell the frag for at least 5 hours with all the EdTs I tried, probably more like 7. And 7 is more than enough for me, because I never use more than 2 sprays with an EdT. If I want it stronger, and perhaps a bit longer lasting, I would just spray 4 or 5 times instead.

I think i voted wrong!(#1) logivity is important. but i use to use Perfume Oil. I wear it under my coat's collar. usually 4-5 drop i wear. Sometimes i have it for 1 or even 2 months !! it depends to perfume. but in average longevity is about a week.

To me longevity is pretty much a do or don't thing for me. I don't care if the smell is heaven but if the longevity is poor then I'm screaming next.
It's hard to lay down a hard rule on this one for me. Longevity is very important, but isn't everything. When a scent has longevity I boast about that element of it and make as if that makes the scent all the more worthy for thread readers to consider, but if a scent doesn't have longevity, like the R&G Extra Vieille I've been wearing every day for a week, I wear it out of love for an importance smell wise that trumps my wishes for longevity.
Hard to make a declaration about longevity itself. I'm more likely to make declarations about individual scents rather than a quality that is outside of but also a part of wearing the scent. The smell can trump worries about longevity.
As a result I haven't chosen an option in the poll.
That girl, that bottle, that mattress and me.
Ideally, I would like the longevity from most fragrances to last me from morning till evening.
However, I have learnt after all these years at basenotes, that a lot of terrific fragrances may not meet my longevity benchmark and as a result I am flexible now.
Case in point is that of Creed Millesime Imperial. I despise it because of its pathetic longevity. However as a fragrance I quite admire it.
Other noteworthy exceptions are :
Hermes Eau D'orange Verte
Creed Erolfa
Creed Selection Verte
Tom Ford Grey Vetiver
Longevity and also sillage are a must be!
i dont really get the difference between the second and the third options .... anyway, longivity is so important to me .....
Its make or break as far as Im concerned
Hugely important. I tend to favor stronger, more lasting scents. There are a few exceptions of beautifully made scents that are very light and/or fleeting at the same time, that I thoroughly enjoy, but they are a minority. Eg of a rather short-lasting one that I consider HG material - Felanilla.

Two steps forward. One step back.
I appreciate and like several fragrances which have poor longevity - Guerlain Eau du Coq, R&G Extra Vieille and Eau Sauvage to name a few - however, I tend to favour longer lasting fragrances as it can be irritating and disappointing when a great scent disappears in a couple of hours. I leave the house on a morning at around 7:30am so if something lasts 5 hours it has pretty much gone by lunchtime!
Its very important to me. I dont buy $60+ stuff to get 2-3 hours of it. Thats longetivity I am willing to accept from deodorant or cheap $10 cologne but not from expensive EDT.
It's a deal breaker! Recently sampled Xerjoff Kobe and it only lasts 3-4 hours with a generous application using an atomizer with 5 sprays to the chest, and one spray to each wrist. Fragrances that expensive should last at least 5 hours. I'm more lenient with cheaper longevity issues.
Last edited by teger; 12th May 2010 at 06:45 PM.
pretty tough question
My answer is "I look at quality more than Longeivty!"
I really enjoy some 3-4h lasting colognes, they are created to cheer me up!
although work fragrances should hit 7-8 h mark
every fragrance has its purpose, some are for quick walk some are for all night clubbing and I dont dislike fragrance just if it last only 3-4 hours like Mugler Colone or any Varvatos cologne

I think 'longevity' is a sort of a relative term and has to be seen in context of the style and concentration and even the intent of the perfume being rated. There is no 'one size fits all' when it comes to judging longevity IMO. With stuff I own I generally (and I use that word loosely) expect:
EdC - a good couple of hours
EdT - another couple of hours
EdP - another couple of hours
Extrait / Parfum / Attar - several hours
Granted there are some scents that overstay their welcome and some that exit too early, but I don't think you can just lay down a blanket time frame and say "less than X hours = bad, more than X hours = good" when you have natural eau de colognes on the one hand, and heavy hitting gourmand / oriental EdPs on the other. I also don't think longevity means much at all if you have something that blows it's budget in the first five minutes and then relies on deftly applied chemical spill to ensure it lingers on . . . and on . . . and on, for as far as the eye can see.
I voted for the 'quality' option.
No longevity = no purchase
It has to have quality AND longevity for me.
I have a pretty high-paced, busy job (12+ hour days). So I am not going to be switching fragrances during the day or have time to worry about reapplying a fragrance.

It's important enough that I'll never ever buy Gendarme again even though I like the scent immensely.
Quality/beauty of composition is the only thing that matters. Good longevity is just a bonus.
If a fragrance isn't beautiful, it doesn't matter how long it lasts.
Rare, vintage, and niche off-site sales.

New atomizer and decanting supplies for sale.
For me a work of fiction exists only insofar as it affords me what I shall bluntly call aesthetic bliss, that is a sense of being somehow, somewhere, connected with other states of being where art (curiosity, tenderness, kindness, ecstasy) is the norm. - Vladimir Nabokov
The ideal longevity should, in my opinion, equal or exceed 6 hours, since quality and elaborate notes alone are not enough without a certain amount of persistence and projection
Not a dealbreaker for me as long as it lasts 4-6 hours on average, with the exception of EDCs which may last 2-3 hrs. I tend to reapply or change a scent by late afternoon anyway. If I want to wear something lasting, I'd just pick one of the longer wearing scents. That's why we have a wardrobe - for options.
I voted for quality. If longevity is an issue, you can also decant. Why put up with a turd that lasts 12+ hours?
very important! im paying money, often a good amount, for this stuff. i want it to atleast last more than an hour, thats a joke. if its not 6+ hours, to me its a waste of money
I don't care much about sillage but longevity. Each of the colognes I have in the wardrobe last at least 12 hrs.
Once I find a really good fragrance I want longevity as part of the fragrance package.

Sorry to be in the dissenting minority: longevity is truly my LAST criterion when it comes to fragrances.
Not that I despise longevity, God forbid. If I like some smell, of course I would love for it to last as long as possible. It's only that the quality of the experience means 99% with me, and the length only 1%. To me, there's no trade-off: I prefer instantly a 30 minutes smell which I truly love to a so-so fragrance which lasts forever. Unfortunately it often comes to this kind of choice. Yes, a fragrance can be sublime AND long-lasting, but very rarely.
One of the fragrances which marry, for me, unexpected (not humongous) longevity and quality is Green Irish Tweed. ALL my other fragrances are a lot shorter lived. I accept that, insofar choosing a fragrance is not for me a "no matter what, I want people to smell this after six hours" issue. If I like the *quality* of a fragrance enough, I can reapply, or I can accept it just disappeared.
I can also accept other people have other - equally legitimate - priorities.
I wear scent to work and cannot be reapplying all day. The only scent that wowed me with dismal longevity was Annick Goutal Duel.
"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
I guess I'm in the minority, but longevity is not that critical.
If I was comparing 2 fragrances that I thought were of equal quality, sure I'd choose the one with better longevity.
But if I came across a fragrance that I thought was great but lasted less than say, 4 hours (even down to 2 or 3), It wouldn't prevent me from purchasing it.
I don't mind carrying an atomizer and reapplying.
Very Important or I won't purchase. Anything 7 or more hours.
To me it's more about the quality of the scent, though I would have a hard time buying anything that lasted less than four hours or so... To put it another way, I'd much rather own a 5 star scent that lasted 5 hours over a 4 star scent that lasted 10...
If it dont last long i wont buy it
Alot of times I will turn down a fragrance being FB worthy due to longevity
but there are always exceptions
another factor I think may be at work here is the way I apply, usually to wrists and shirt + neck.
Plus olfactory fatigue maybe a huge issue we don't take into consideration!
Off-Site Decants =) (updated 05/16/12)
Duration don't matter, as long as it's huge and strong. Perfumes I mean.
So, the way I see it judging by the polls is that some of you guys will disregard a masterful fragrance, using either the most expensive natural ingredients in the world or some very expensive synthetics, something that smells like god's nectar, because it doesn't last a day and a half? Jeez, that's what an atomizer is for.
Edit: To that it even farther, if something lasts too long, as in more than 10 hours, I'm far more likely to not purchase it than something that lasts not long enough.

No matter how much I loved a fragrance, if it's longevity was poor I simply wouldn't buy it!
I don't care about longevity. I like my cologne to stay close to the skin, not envelop others in a cloud of stink. Most colognes have good longevity by this standard.
Longevity to me is a priority. If I choose to spend £X on a scent, I do not want something I enjoy but only fleetingly. I will aplly my fragrances in the morning, and ideally want it to last most of the day, or certainly for the greater part of it until that evening. Sillage is not something that concerns me, I do not care how much the scent projects to others, it is for me primarily. The discreet waft of my scent of the day some 7-8 hours after application pleases me enormously. I tend to avoid scents with poor longevity but conversely I also avoid those with excess sillage.
I don't get it. I'm actually pretty shocked that so many would pass up an amazing fragrance if it didn't last as long as they want.
It's almost like passing up a meal with the best tasting cuisine because the portions aren't large.
Again, I just don't get it. Sorry guys.
To add: reapplying a fragrance from an atomizer lets you experience the top notes again. It's not a bad thing.
It's also worth remembering that just because you can't smell it, that doesn't mean others can't. You stop smelling yourself after a while, but the cologne is still noticeable to others.
My priorities are:
1. Scent - this is obviously the important one. I'd gladly take an amazing scent that lasts 4 hours over a mediocre scent that lasts 12.
2. Longevity - can be a deal breaker in extreme circumstances, I'm just as likely to turn down a scent where the top notes just don't disappear as I am to ignore one which only lasts an hour or 2. Basically anything in the 4-10 hour category is ideal (just the right length for a meal out up to a day at the office), but I'm more reticent to buy something with an extremely short duration.
3. Sillage - I have no worries if a scent is a sillage monster or a very-close-to-the-skin scent. If anything, I prefer only 12-18 inches of sillage so that it's a more fleeting waft for people who get close.
Very important
Without decent longevity there is no point to wearing scent. I don't want to carry an atomizer around with me all day to freshen up. A masterpiece scent is totally worthless without longevity.
Let me give an example. I own a bottle of Bois d'Encens by Armani Prive. I absolutely love it. It just sits there because it only lasts 30 minutes tops. A total waste of money.

Longevity is definitely critical. Honestly, 6hrs is a serious minimum for me. It needs to be able to pull off a 9am-3pm work day at the very least for me to consider it FBW. I know that I can freshen up from an atomizer, but I don't want to carry around an atomizer and I don't want a bottle that only lasts me 3 months because I have to spray it so often. Even if it smells heavenly, its not practical or economical.
And to the person who made a reference to food, yes I would not eat at a restaurant with good food and little portions. I'd rather be full from the meal, and I'd rather enjoy 3 sprays of a good scent all day versus only for 2-3hrs.
Fragrance means many things to many people: it can be a matter of social custom, of social assertiveness, of leaving a (literal) trace in people's consciousness, of picking up "chicks" or else... it can also be a personal, ineffable, quasi-artistic experience.
There's nothing wrong with any of these. Those who want to "get their bang for their buck" are perfectly entitled to refuse exceedingly fleeting experiences.
On the other hand, for those who look at perfume the way they listen to music, an unforgettable, short-lived miniature can be more compelling and valuable an experience than a heavy, boring, predictable symphony.
I want some fragrances to last a long time. Others I wish wouldn't last SO DAMN LONG (15+ hours is too much, as is lasting through a shower). Some frags I would prefer to last 4 or less hours.. it's nice to splash on something casual for a few hours of errands, and not have to shower when you want to apply your SoTE say, 3 or 4 hours later.
I really like the way Addict summarized it, above. I enjoy perfume the way I enjoy music.

Are we creating a false dichotomy? Some seem to be saying that if a scent has longevity then it must smell cheap and that somehow ephemerality equates with quality. I'm trying to imagine the argument that a beautiful car that breaks down 3 miles from the dealership is just fine. Or that an expensive pair of shoes that wears out in a week is a keeper. No one has said (that I've seen) that they want a crappy perfume that lasts. I like the smell of every fragrance I have or I wouldn't own them, but what good is a scent that you cannot smell? Surely there are well-made fragrances that are still detectable at the end of the day.
Also, the scent doesn't need to be a foghorn. Simply put, I'd like to still notice it several hours after I apply; close to the skin is ok - invisible is not. Decanting and reapplying are compromises that can work, but are not always practical depending on one's line of work, etc. It seems reasonable to expect a $150 bottle of scent to last at least until you get to the car.
Absolutely, there are well-made fragrances, based on specific durable components, that are still detectable at the end of the day. There are also well-made fragrances which last a lot less than that. For people who love the individuality of a fragrance beyond its practicality, and don't believe that any "OK" fragrance can substitute any other "OK" fragrance, longevity, while not indifferent, is simply not the primary criterion.
That doesn't mean at all, of course, that all long-lasting fragrances would be inferior. Not at all. Many are, though.
I cannot absorb the car analogy, even if some perfumes do remind me of SUVs. If it would be applicable, the bottom line would be that a beautiful car which breaks down after 6 miles is much superior to a beautiful car which breaks down after 3 miles. A fragrance is not something you can truly "own" the way you own a car. One is graciously "lent" a fleeting use of it and, within this fragile grace-time, whether the experience lasts three hours or six hours is not necessarily a deal breaker.
One can feel satiated for a longer time after a Big Mac than after a roll of exquisite, absolutely perfectly balanced sushi. Again, this is not a criterion to all. On the other hand, as your post suggests, there can be dishes which are both exquisite and make you not feel hungry for seven hours, but that doesn't mean that aiming for the latter should be a rule or a criterion for all. It would impoverish, not enrich one's cuisine choices.

We've all wondered how the French can stay so thin with all of those buttery dishes and desserts. While that mystery remains unsolved, one French tradition is très simple to figure out: crepes! These yummy, thin pancakes can make a great alternative to a thick slice of cake for dessert, or provide a perfect platform for a savory dinner.

Stompin' at the Savoy
A picture-book writer learns the identity-politics dance
I'm not black. And I can't dance. I'm glad we've got that out of the way.
My last picture book was titled Too Young For Yiddish. It's about a Jewish boy in Brooklyn whose grandfather spoke Yiddish. I am Jewish. I grew up in Brooklyn. My grandfather spoke Yiddish. There are other coincidences. "In the old country," Grandpa Sam (hey, I had a Grandpa Sam) says, "I spoke Yiddish to the chickens," so the boy in my story wants to learn Yiddish, thinking he too will then be able to talk to the chickens. Grandpa Sam, however, wants his grandson to speak only English, to play baseball, to be 100% American. He shuts the door to his past, and the child doesn't knock. Death, however, always knocks. Luckily, before Grandpa Sam's death, the boy realizes he does not know who his grandfather is, or for that matter, who he himself has become. He learns Yiddish, speaks with his grandfather, and hears the story of his past, which he later passes down to his own son, Samuel. (I have a son named Samuel.)
When I speak at Jewish book festivals, I am pleased to see generations talking together after my presentation. But it is the grandparents who rush up to me as I'm packing my bags. "A dank," they say, "thanks." And then, in the mother tongue, they begin to tell me their own stories. Sometimes I listen and nod, but most times I stop them at the onset and apologize. "Sorry," I say, "I hate to disillusion you, but I don't speak Yiddish."
I can understand the disappointment on their faces. But no one has ever suggested that because I don't speak Yiddish, I should not have written my book.
"I'm a writer." I explain. "It's a story."
Illustration from Happy Feet
Then I add: My new book is about a black child whose father opens a shop, works hard, and gives up his dream of dancing at the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem so that he can create an environment where his son might have a better life. (My father opened a shop, worked hard, and gave up his dreams so that someday I might be able to realize mine). "And as you see," I say, "I'm not black. And I can't dance."
"Can I read you the text of Happy Feet: The Savoy Ballroom Lindy Hoppers and Me?" I ask a friend who has studied the Harlem Renaissance. I respect his opinion greatly. He is black, though he grew up among whites, and married white—does that matter? I grew up in a transitional neighborhood. It was a Jewish neighborhood when I was born, and I am not saying that we would not have joined the white flight if finances allowed. The blacks later fled as the Hispanics moved in.
"Put it back in your drawer," my friend counseled. "It's our history. We own it. A black person should write this story. You've got no right."
"But a black person didn't," I protested. Must I always write Jewish? I didn't think so, but then why was I both thrilled and relived when my publisher signed up E.B. Lewis to do the illustrations. E.B. is a brilliant, talented artist and no one can question his African-American credentials, his Coretta Scott King and Caldecott Honors. "It's everybody's story," E.B. told me. "And you've nailed the dialect." I felt vindicated. But why didn't I press to have my picture on the back flap? And how should I answer my son Sam, who grew up on gangsta rap, despite my ranting and railing—Pull up your pants, embrace your roots, stop acting ghetto; you're middle-class—when he asks me "What's up with your recent books? Do you think you're black?"
Busing Brewster, which is forthcoming, is about a black child bused to an all-white school in Boston. What must that feel like? I tell the story looking through Brewster's eyes. Would it matter if I told you I was one of three whites at an all-black school? What if I wasn't? My publisher has not yet chosen an illustrator, and they have asked me for suggestions.
I make mental lists only of black artists as I sit in a Jewish coffee house in the Kazimierz section of Krakow, Poland. I have come in search of my roots. This morning I visited Auschwitz, but tonight I am clapping along to klezmer music. It is an affirmation after the darkness, I tell myself. The Jewish quarter of the city is booming with seekers just like me. During the break, I go to speak to the lead singer. She is beautiful, and I have never heard such an authentic sound. I am transported back to the old country, to my grandfather's shtetl, which I, of course, never visited in the first place. Did anyone in your family survive, I ask her? Who taught you to play?
"Sorry," she says. "I hate to disappoint you, but I am not Jewish, nor is anyone in my band. We used to play polka, but then learned the klezmer music to meet the demand from tourists."
I sit back down next to my wife. She was born Methodist, but converted to Judaism. It is she, not my Grandpa Sam, who brought me back to an appreciation of my own culture. It is she who insisted our young children have a Jewish education. "There's no excuse," my grandfather had said, "for marrying outside the tribe. Study, shmudy—she will never understand what it feels like to grow up as Jew."
I take my wife's hand and close my eyes as the second set begins. The music might sound the same, but will I hear it differently?

Best-Selling Authors Neal Stephenson and Greg Bear, With Subutai Corporation, Announce The Mongoliad on World's First Social Book Platform
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 1 /PRNewswire/ — Bestselling authors Neal Stephenson and Greg Bear, along with Subutai Corporation, announced today the launch of The Mongoliad, the first digital novel on a social book platform. A speculative fiction novel set against the Mongol invasion of Europe in the 13th century, The Mongoliad follows a small band of warriors and mystics in a ripping tale of action and adventure set at a time when the Mongol horde's conquest of Europe seemed inevitable. Key to the development of this tale is the unique collaboration between the authors and the audience through PULP, Subutai's new platform, which provides a participatory experience only possible in today's connected digital world. To experience The Mongoliad, visit www.mongoliad.com.
"PULP is what Gutenberg would have come up with if he hadn't jumped the gun and released 600 years early," said Stephenson. "Kindles and iPads were little better than expensive drink trays until we came up with this."
The Mongoliad's heroes fight, plot, spy, and maneuver the politics of royal courts, the church, merchant empires, and secret societies in an attempt to defeat their would-be conquerors, and to preserve the knowledge that is in their charge. Each week a new chapter is delivered via custom applications for handhelds and the web, starting with iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch.
Greg Bear said, "This is one of the most exciting and interesting projects I've worked on in a long while. Collaborating with Neal and our crack team on a magnificent story and a new business model for publishing and media is a real privilege."
The Mongoliad is the first story to be released on the PULP platform. PULP enables authors to deliver a richer experience than ebooks or traditional paper, creating a complete world around a novel and its characters. The platform enables the dynamic inclusion of meta-narrative and para-narrative elements such as character sketches, articles, short stories, music, video, and social features for discussions among the book's community. Serial delivery enables both authors and community time to shape the next stage of an exciting tale where the experience can really take off in any creative direction.
"The form of the traditional novel is a consequence of the technology of the printing press," said Jeremy Bornstein, co-founder and President of Subutai. "We wanted to explore what the novel could be now that it's practical to use a platform more modern than paper."
Readers can enjoy the journey of The Mongoliad with a 6-month subscription priced at $5.99 USD or annually at $9.99 USD. Each week readers will receive new chapters, along with ongoing access to the community and additional content.
