Sleeping dogs completed, mostly excellent experience.
- Melee combat and driving are very fun and the storyline/characters and acting are mostly good.
- Shooting is iffy at best and the camera gets very wonky in places, it's also a very easy game.
Tried a little Cave Story+ and can see that it's good but I think platformers just aren't my thing anymore.
What I hate most is level drain. I don't have a cleric in my party so if i don't have access to temple I am in big trouble. I stocked up with restoration scrolls tough (i have 14 of them) so maybe it won't be an issue.
I should have chosen Aerie over Nalia
Already encountered Illithid tough. Only one. Behind the painting. My whole team ganged up on him so it wasn't really a fair fight
Playing King of Dragon Pass, Dungeon Keeper and Atom Zombie Smasher. The first two are excellent; I'm not really deep enough into Atom Zombie Smasher to say whether I like it, but its mechanics are clever. The weather is awful here and Wolverhampton Wanderers are losing and probably going to get relegated, so it's a good day for games.
Why no cleric? Are you doing a challenge run?
Made a mistake, should have kept Aerie and ditched Nalia after her quest.
Now playing / have been playing:
Assassin's Creed has been consigned to the bin of "never to be played again" as it wound me up so damn much. It could well be the best series of games on earth, but I really don't want to remind myself of that horrid slog I tried to play through.
The Darkness II because it was bundled with Bioshock Infinite. I found that to be more fun to play then Bioshock, though the plot was silly Grimdark.
Bastion finally got played through after buying it god knows how long ago. That was nice, not as great as some people made it out to be, but nice none the less.
What next to kill in the backlog? Batmans: Ark City? L.A. Noire? Something weird like The Void? I look deep into the nest of horrible Steam crap that is unplayed and...
Why / how do I own X-Blades?
Thief 2 - Shadows of the metal age. I'm up to mission 4 and really enjoying it. The things people will make for free just because they really love a game absolutely amazes me.
This is of course when Mechwarrior Online isn't distracting me.
Cheers for the advice. The Batsman it is.
Haha! That's like... like the women in Ass Creed who... who say that over and over
and over
and over
and OVDJSABJFBAJBFLFNAL
Please say there are no really annoying NPCs like those guys and the lepers / drunks in Ass Creed II
Assassin's Creed 2 nailed the formula. Everything since has run it into the ground. One of the few games I've played since I was a kid to "completion," although the feathers can blow me.
Played a few matches of Dungeonland, since I got the 4-pack from GG for cheaps (15e). All in all, enjoyable and pretty great, but you should play on hard and preferably with 3 other people you know, since it's the best then. Also, encountered a few bugs and annoyances (no proper lobby and so forth), but all in all, quite enjoyable.
[E] Obviously the DM can try to obliterate the heroes right away, but if the heroes can manage to stay together and work as a team they should overcome all obstacles until the boss, even if it requires a few close calls where you're out of lives and need to revive a hero in 5 seconds or it's game over.
[Edit of an edit]
I think the Eurogamer-review put it the best. "Is it balanced? Not really: the odds are stacked massively in the dungeon master's favour. It's a quirk of design, perhaps, but one that, paradoxically, makes it even more fun to try and work your way through the mode from the perspective of the little guys stuck at the sharp end. There's a wonderful sense of achievement to be had braving such colourful torments, particularly when you know that the dungeon master who's causing you all this woe will meet you at the end of the gauntlet, controlling the final boss."
And, although you've probably figured this out by now, when someone gives you a time limit for a mission in the Underdark, you pay attention to that time limit.

New home construction moving at a fast pace at the Reserve at Estero
The high volume of construction activity reflects homebuyers' interest in the Reserve at Estero, a Toll Brothers community of single-family homes on Estero Parkway.
"We currently have 40 homes under construction or in various stages of permitting," said John McDonald, project manager for Toll Brothers at the Reserve at Estero.
McDonald said buyers at the Reserve at Estero like the selection of home designs and the numerous options available to personalize their new home.
"Buyers are also enthusiastic about the resort-style amenities and activities available at the Reserve at Estero," McDonald said. "The convenient location — just minutes from Coconut Point Mall and Gulf Coast Town Center as well as Miromar Outlets — adds to the community's appeal."
Community life at the Reserve at Estero is centered around the grand clubhouse, which features a fitness center, community room, catering kitchen, aerobics room, game room and billiards room. A resort-style swimming pool and spa with tropical landscaping, tennis courts, sports court, and a children's playground with a wading pool provide a variety of outdoor recreational options.
Ten home designs are available at the Reserve at Estero, each with a choice of four exterior elevations. Nine designs offer a first-floor master suite.
Located a half-mile east of U.S. 41, the Reserve at Estero will consist of 485 single-family homes when completed. Pricing begins in the $200,000s. The sales center and four designer-decorated models are open daily.
To visit the Reserve at Estero from Interstate 75, take Exit 123 Corkscrew Road west to Three Oaks Parkway. Turn right and proceed north to Estero Parkway. Make a left, heading west. The Reserve at Estero will be on the right. Online at TheReserveAtEstero.com.

Ebola: Health worker infections
23 May 2015 -- Health workers have borne the brunt of the west african Ebola outbreak, not only working tirelessly to treat the sick but risking their lives every time they went to work. A new WHO report into health worker infections has found that health workers are between 21 and 32 times more likely to be infected with Ebola than people in the general population. It has also shown that such infections can be prevented - health worker infection rates have dropped considerably as measures to prevent infection improved.
Ebola diaries: Lessons in listening
19 May 2015 -- In July 2014, WHO asked Cheikh Ibrahima Niang, a professor of medical and social anthropology, to investigate community attitudes to Ebola virus disease. He led a team of anthropologists to Sierra Leone just as the outbreak exploded in the eastern part of that country. This is what he found.
Taking action: WHO responds to Ebola in West Africa
15 May 2015 -- Since notifying the world of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa on 23 March 2014, WHO has, in partnership with the international health community, mobilized its largest response to the most severe and most complex outbreak in the history of this disease. WHO's public health expertise, linkages with government and technical networks are unparalleled and resulted in collaboration across multiple UN agencies, mobilization of foreign medical teams, deployment of specialized laboratories, trainings for 1000s of clinicians, delivery of millions of sets of personal protective equipment.
The Ebola outbreak in Liberia is over
9 May 2015 -- Today, WHO declares Liberia free of Ebola virus transmission. Interruption of transmission is a monumental achievement for a country that reported the highest number of deaths in the largest, longest, and most complex outbreak since Ebola first emerged in 1976. Forty-two days have passed since the last laboratory-confirmed case was buried on 28 March. The outbreak of Ebola virus disease in Liberia is over.
Our vision
An integrated global alert and response system for epidemics and other public health emergencies based on strong national public health systems and capacity and an effective international system for coordinated response.
Core functions
- Support Member States for the implementation of national capacities for epidemic preparedness and response in the context of the IHR(2005), including laboratory capacities and early warning alert and response systems;
- Support national and international training programmes for epidemic preparedness and response;
- Coordinate and support Member States for pandemic and seasonal influenza preparedness and response;
- Develop standardized approaches for readiness and response to major epidemic-prone diseases (e.g. meningitis, yellow fever, plague);
- Strengthen biosafety, biosecurity and readiness for outbreaks of dangerous and emerging pathogens outbreaks (e.g. SARS, viral haemorrhagic fevers); Maintain and further develop a global operational platform to support outbreak response and support regional offices in implementation at regional level.

Exploring Hurricanes With Unmanned Drones
In an effort to learn more about giant storms, U.S. researchers are using unmanned, remote-controlled airplanes this year to penetrate the heart of Atlantic hurricanes.
However, for fear of endangering other planes, American aviation authorities have forced the rugged drones to be flown from the eastern Caribbean island of Barbados.
The drones look just like hobbyists' model airplanes but can be controlled by satellites. Storm researchers are confident the drones will give them a more complete picture of the core of cyclones than they've ever had before.
The drones can fly into the eye of a storm just 300 feet above the sea surface and send back a constant stream of temperature, pressure, wind and humidity readings.
"It can get measurements we couldn't get otherwise," said Joe Cione, a research meteorologist with the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
"That area of the storm is critical because that's where the maximum winds are. It will give us a better understanding of where the energy is extracted out of the sea."
The 7-feet long aircraft are made by Australia's Aerosonde Pty Ltd. and are worth between $50,000 and $80,000. They boast a 9-foot wingspan and weigh only 28 pounds.
Powered by a tiny 24 cc motor and a single propeller, they can fly at about 70 mph (113 kph) and cover an astonishing 2,000 miles on a single 0.66 U.S. gallon (2.5-litre) tank of fuel, Cione said. They are much smaller and less sophisticated than those used by the U.S. military in war zones.
The drones can be catapulted into flight or launched from a moving vehicle. They are initially flown by a joystick before control is transferred to a laptop and then to satellite.
Unlike the manned hurricane hunter aircraft used for years to penetrate cyclones at around 10,000 feet, the Aerosondes will fly a few hundred feet above the ocean, where the critical energy transfer from sea surface to storm occurs.
For years scientists have taken measurements using "dropsondes," packages of instruments flung from a plane that take "snapshots" as they fall through the storm. The new drones offer a continuous data stream that will be a huge improvement over the sporadic measurements taken from dropsondes.
"It's the difference between taking a photograph and taking a movie," Cione said. "You're not going to miss anything."
Researchers first tested drones in 2005 during Tropical Storm Ophelia. Last year, an unmanned aircraft spent 17.5 hours aloft in a flight into Hurricane Noel.
Researchers are hoping for at least two to five flights this year.
For this hurricane season""which starts Saturday and runs for six months""the drones will be forced to fly far from U.S. shores. The Federal Aviation Administration has not given NOAA approval to fly them from U.S. territory.
The agency has issued more than 100 approvals for unmanned aircraft on projects ranging from searches for illegal aliens along the U.S. border to wildfire surveillance.
The FAA said it must be sure the drones could be flown safely from a U.S. base into an approaching hurricane, a time when many pilots are moving small planes out of harm's way.
"You have a situation where you have a small aircraft that has no real ability to see and avoid other aircraft, transiting an area that might have civilian aircraft in it," FAA spokesman Les Dorr said.
Researchers in the U.S. hope for eventual approval for flights within the country in order to give them a chance to study hurricanes nearing the coast for signs of the explosive intensity surges scientists find most worrisome.
"Once that option's available to us, we'll be all over it," Cione said. "That's in the FAA's camp."
For weather forecasters, predicting sudden, rapid intensification is one of their weaknesses. A relatively mild hurricane approaching a crowded shore can become a destructive cyclone with winds over 130 mph (210 kph) after residents have gone to bed, leaving little time to evacuate once they awaken.
The drones may capture a better picture of the inner core, the eye wall and especially the energy exchange at the sea surface that fuels hurricanes""offering a better chance to improve intensity forecasting.
"Personally, my feeling is that we can make leaps and bounds — big, pioneering changes in our understanding of intensity," Cione said.

11 October 2013 09:58 [Source: ICB]
Fourth-quarter US fatty alcohol contract settlements have been widely completed, sources said on 2 October.
The fourth-quarter mid-cut detergent alcohol range was assessed at 86-99 cents/lb ($1,896-2,183/tonne), increasing 2.50-3.0 cents/lb from the third quarter.
Buyers and sellers said the mid-cut detergent range alcohol contracts moved up on strong demand from industrial end-uses and good demand from the home care surfactant segment.
Sellers sought higher prices on the mid-cuts because of tightening supply conditions in Asia, the primary feedstock and production region for the alcohols.
Buyers were willing to accept increased prices largely because of expectations of a supply crunch during the fourth quarter.
Market sources said that synthetic mid-cut alcohols were also considered to be in tighter supply for the fourth quarter.
In the C16-18 heavy chain blended alcohols, fourth-quarter contracts were assessed at a rollover from the third quarter.
Buyers and sellers of the heavy chain alcohols said that feedstock prices moderated and both groups acknowledged that US demand in the key personal care end-use sector remains flat going into the fourth quarter.
The US is a large net importer of natural alcohols, which are primarily produced from palm kernel oil.
Domestic mid-cut synthetic alcohols are produced by Shell and Sasol, using ethylene and gas-to-liquids processes, respectively.

NASCAR drivers find passing tough at Brickyard
INDIANAPOLIS Maybe NASCAR should steal a page from IndyCar and install a push-to-pass button.
This past weekend saw the boring Brickyard at its worst.
Juan Pablo Montoya griped over his radio that trying to pass another car cost him position on the track. Jimmie Johnson suggested the track needed a second lane with more banking to help the cause. Denny Hamlin called passing "impossible."
"If impossible is hard, then it was impossible," Hamlin said. "It is just a product of the speed we run, the tire we've got and the surface. It all just makes for hard racing. It's hard to pass anyone. You've just got to deal with it."
Even super-snail "Tubo" would have been stuck in Sunday's single-file snoozer at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Never really considered an exciting 400 miles anyway, Indianapolis may have topped itself in the 20th Cup race at the famed track. There were three cautions, for stalled cars or debris, and no accidents or spins.
And such little passing. The field fanned out into single-file racing for most of the event - a plodding style that perhaps is a big reason why the crowd has dwindled from 200,000-plus in the Brickyard's NASCAR heyday to maybe 80,000 fans on Sunday. There were scores of empty rows along the frontstretch, and fans at home probably wound up changing the channel at times. The clean race was responsible for the fastest Brickyard in history at 2 hours, 36 minutes and 22 seconds.
The race was basically a yawner until Ryan Newman used a flawless final pit stop to top Jimmie Johnson for the win.
All this came only two months after one of the more thrilling Indianapolis 500s in history. Tony Kanaan passed leader Ryan Hunter-Reay to grab the lead in the last of a record 68 lead changes.
The stock cars? They turned the 2 1/2-mile Indy track into a leisurely Sunday drive. Just one pass for the lead under green that had nothing to do with pit stops.
"On a flat racetrack, it's just tough to pass," Johnson said. "These corners, they aren't really that long. You have four, 90-degree turns. That puts a lot against this racetrack for side-by-side racing. But we still love this place."
Drivers love the history steeped in the 108-year-old track. Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart and Newman fell in love with the place as kids, and they all talk of the reverence they hold for a place where A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti and Rick Mears made Indy and open wheel king.
Stewart said he was "baffled" at criticism of the racing and he gave a blistering defense.
"Look up `racing' in the dictionary and tell me what it says in the dictionary, then look up `passing,'" Stewart said. "If you want to see passing, we can go out on I-465 and pass all you want. If you can tell me that's more exciting than what you see at IMS, the great race car drivers that have competed here. This is about racing. This is about cars being fast. It doesn't have to be two- and three-wide racing all day long to be good racing. Racing is about figuring out how to take the package you're allowed and make it better than what everybody else has and do a better job with it."

One neck but got eight charms
from Kanye West / Jay Z – Who Gon Stop Me Lyrics on Genius
This continues the idea that Jay has more money than he knows what to do with, but a charm necklace seems a little girly for Jay.
It's possible he just substituted "chains" for "charms" to fit the rhyme scheme, since both halves of The Throne are known for wearing multiple chains at once.

Vodafone Selects SpeechWorks and Brand & Grober Communications to Power Speech-Enabled Application for the Visually Impaired.
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 10, 2003
Blind and Low-Vision Customers Can Now Effortlessly Access SMS, Email and Phone Directory Services on the Nokia Communicator
SpeechWorks International, Inc. (Nasdaq: SPWX), a global leader in speech technologies and services, today announced that Vodafone UK is now offering a new application for its visually impaired customers using SpeechWorks technology. The speech-enabled application provides audible cues to access numerous advanced communications services including Short Message Service (SMS), email and phone directories on the Nokia 9200 and 9290 Series Communicator. It was developed in partnership with Brand & Grober Communications GbR and combines SpeechWorks' ETI-Eloquence(TM) text-to-speech (TTS) software and Brand & Grober's TALKS accessibility application. Vodafone UK is currently selling the Nokia 9210i Communicator units branded as the Vodafone Speaking Phone to its blind and low-vision customers.
The World Health Organization (2001) estimates that 180 million people worldwide have vision impairments. Of these, between 40 million and 45 million are blind. Without speech-enabled devices, many of these individuals are not able to use advanced communications features such as determining what calls have been received, sending or receiving text messages, defining special ringtones, checking battery status and receiving network information.
"The blind and low-vision community represents an important and growing audience for mobile devices and we are eager to provide them with a state-of-the-art mobile phone that offers messaging, email, fax sending and word processing," said Mike Duxbury, Disability Access Manager for Vodafone UK. "High intelligibility and accuracy are key criteria for a successful solution because we strive to offer a satisfying caller experience to all of our customers. We're very excited about offering our blind and low-vision customers this new service and are confident in the solution's trusted technology from Brand & Grober and SpeechWorks."
The TALKS applications combined with SpeechWorks' ETI-Eloquence TTS software converts menus and instructions displayed on the Nokia Communicator's screen into speech for output either to the phone's internal speaker or through an attached headset. ETI-Eloquence software is already used in many products for blind and low-vision users and has been widely recognized for its high intelligibility and accuracy. ETI-Eloquence is a powerful, versatile and efficient TTS engine that supports 13 languages. Its low memory requirements are ideal for embedded devices such as mobile phones and other hand-held devices.
Using the Vodafone Speaking Phone, blind and low vision users are able to:
-- Write and read SMS and email;
-- Send fax messages;
-- Manage contact information;
-- Dial phone numbers from contacts;
-- Access call logs (dialed, received, missed);
-- Use the appointment calendar;
-- Customize phone settings according to personal preferences;
-- Write and read "stickie" notes;
-- Have application menus and window contents read aloud; and
-- Press keys to hear the current date and time, the network
signal strength, or the battery strength.
"In order for this solution to help the visually impaired perform these various functions, the TTS system has to be highly intelligible. ETI-Eloquence synthesizes ordinary text into high quality speech," said Alan Schwartz, vice president of business development and head of the Automotive and Mobile Device Customer Focus Unit at SpeechWorks. "In addition, the Vodafone Speaking Phone allows blind and low vision users to control the rate and speed of the speech output for dynamic, detailed and personalized information, creating a much more satisfying user experience."
Increasing Information Access for Visually Impaired Users
Around the world, SpeechWorks technologies are powering applications for the visually impaired used by organizations such as Canadian National Institute for the Blind, CIBC Bank, HIMS Korea, The National Federation of the Blind, Singapore Association for the Visually Handicapped and Visuaide. Using SpeechWorks' speech recognition and TTS software, visually impaired users can easily access information and complete transactions on a variety of wireless and wireline devices including cell phones, desktop computers, PDAs and ATMs.

C&C 121 VS Beneteau First 40.7
A new boat will be rewarding all right. Rewarding to the broker.
I looked at the C&C and I cannot warm up to it but the fairness of the hull (and the Tartans) was far superior to the Beneteau 36()<---something. The Beneteau had the worst case of orange peel on a new hull that I have ever seen.
This is a big deal and you have a lot of money to spend here. Find Jeff H''s email and get him to respond to this. Jeff and I really like performance boats.
Like I said if draft were not a reqirement I would buy a C&C 40 if it were I would buy a Tartan 40 CB or if a newer boat a Tartan 4200.
But I would only PHRF race on a casual basis. If I raced full time then the J boats need consideration.
I have found the J32 (cruising) to be an empty suit. It is oversold by J''s marketing and will not perform as they claim.

|haha what makes you say that worth! i kept it together hahaha, although i would, with confidence say that it was easier and felt safer to use the crack to the right of the alcove instead of climbing up into it. (green c4 at the beginning of the crack and make a run for it)

Ate myself a pie and it was delicious. It reminded me of J-tree. It felt spicy but it's actually pretty low-angle. Super fun route!
The bolts were not confidence-inspiring, but there are bomber nuts above. The anchor bolts have some surface rust as well.

|Whew! Going straight up through the notch is tricky/heady (tougher than 5.8 IMO). Get creative with your gear. Once on the arete the climbing is very nice and easier, but it still makes you think in a couple spots!

I have deliberately omitted certain highly popular discontinued fragrances such as Envy for Men, Gucci pour Homme, Patou pour Homme etc. - in order to give these lesser known fragrances a chance to compete against each other.
If you feel there is a discontinued "sleeper" missing from the list please mention it and if possible include a description.
Thanks for your help !

Charles Revson Braggi. From what I understand, Charles Revson was the founder of "Revlon", and Braggi was one of his earliest creations. Long discontinued, then revived with a reformulation not true to the original.
Cristobal Pour Homme
Basala by Shiseido (now seems to be commanding high prices)
Remember that while it is perfectly acceptable to criticize the content of a post - criticizing the poster is not.
Mean spirited, nasty, snide, sarcastic, hateful, and rude individuals on Basenotes don't warrant or deserve other individuals' acknowledgement or respect.
Ultrared by Paco Rabanne
It took me a year to find but now I have 2 bottles..
My favorite fruity/floral..
Also Domenico Caraceni 1913 another great floral..

From your list, I voted Nobile which is a truly excellent offering from Gucci (my favorite from the house, come to think of it) that costs an arm and a leg to acquire nowadays...
Mine that is not on the list is the great vintage version of Captain by Molyneux (frequently called Captain Molyneux). A mandatory sniff for anyone who enjoys well-implemented oak moss, as this one is *loaded* with it.

A lot of basenoters like Carven pour Homme.
Nobile, but also Joint, What About Adam, Trussardi Uomo, Theorema Uomo are among my favorites. Additional suggestions: perhaps Davidoff Relax, Roccobarocco Jeans and Spazio Krizia among others.
Except for Furyo (which is a masterpiece), of which I own the vintage & the new version of Marc de la Morandiere's Genghis Khan, I am looking for pretty much all others from your list - my vote went to Macassar.
These are worth looking for as well - for any vintage lover...
Guerlain Derby (eagle bottle version) & so many other Guerlain's...Can't list all here.
Dior Jules (vintage - which I'm searching frantically for)
Caron Tabac Blond (obviously everyone on basenotes is searching for this)
Helmut Lang Cuiron (same as the above - everyone & their family looking for this)
Versailles PH
Snuff de Schiapparelli (original bottle with pipe on top)
Monsieur de Givenchy Haute Concentration version.
Lancome Balafre
Drseid's mentioned this already - Captain Molyneux vintage version
Nina Ricci Phileas & Signoricci 1 & 2
Chanel Pour Monsieur vintage (which I'm lucky to own).
Helmut Lang edp & edc (proud owner shortly - thx to hedonist222)
YSL PH Haute Concentration.
Eau Sauvage extreme (strictly the vintage version - not the new version)
My favorites that have been discontinued are Creed Royal English Leather and Creed Royal Scottish Lavender.
Also, Polo Modern Reserve...
while I have not tried many from your list, I like Gengis Khan - however, it isn't really discontinued, since I just bought a bottle 2 months ago from MDMs website. However, I guess that may be a temporary re-issue.
Thanks to everyone for sharing your favourites.
Unfortunately I could only list a maximum of twenty fragrances, so a lot got left out. I wanted to add Background, Punjab, Balafre, Maxims pour Homme. Ocean Rain....and many others. I did think about splitting it into two polls, but then I would have had to do a third poll afterwards to select between the winners of the first two polls. All very complicated so I stuck to the ones I have listed. Please include one's not on the list. Keep them coming in...I will somehow try to count them as votes at the end of the poll.

L'Occitane Eau des 4 Voleurs is magnificent.
Lalique Equus is pretty nice.
Balenciaga Pour Homme - Simply Amazing.
+1 Carven Homme - Very nice indeed and reminds me of Floris Santal.
+1 Jil Sander Absolute - Very beautiful Vanilla & Citrus ( Thanks for the sample Marais)
Givenchy Insense is not exactly a sleeper, but I prefer it to the ones in the poll (though I like Kipling as well)
Gucci Nobile, Rush, and PH1
DG: By Man
Polo: Crest
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
Hi David,
Very nice thread!
From your list I voted Nobile (my wedding scent), and I own quite all of them.
But mine that is not on the list is this wonderful masterpiece,
Giorgio Beverly Hills for Men V.I.P. Special Reserve
Last edited by mdclx; 7th February 2014 at 05:52 PM.
Nobile gets my vote.
Another one I've discovered recently: That Man by Revlon. Great vintage fragrance, can be found online at a reasonable price.
.....sorry I think I may have confused this fragrance with Feminite du Bois ?

Hai Karate!
Nobile is a long time favorite of mine. The prices are unbelievable these days.
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
"I've been everywhere but the electric chair seen everything but the wind."..
Of the ones not yet mentioned, I'd like to add Ungaro I & II.
I only had to read as far down as By Man by Dolce & Gabbana. There's nothing else in the galaxy that touches it IMO.
There are many others I could not include. Amongst them Lanvin for Men.
Thanks everyone for contributing.
RARE PERFUME DECANTS (closed group) FACEBOOK !
Forgot to add
Escada Pour Homme
Escada Magnetism
Hyssop by L'Occitane
Theorema Uomo among many fine scents listed and many more not included.
Gucci Nobile was an easy choice, however, with respect, I don't really think that Gucci Nobile qualifies as a "sleeper".
Most Gucci bashing threads (of which there are many), make fond reference to Gucci Nobile, so it has never been forgotten.
Helmut Lang Cuiron was discontinued some time ago. It was a Basenotes darling for a long time thereafter.
I've noticed very few references to Cuiron in recent times, so perhaps it now qualifies as a "sleeper"... but even this is questionable...
Voted Gucci Nobile... I'm glad I have a big bottle of it in my collection.
Nino Cerruti (1979)
Michael ♌
Nice thread! Voted Macassar.
"Le parfum est la musique du corps"
(Marcel Rochas)
L'Eau Bleue d'Issey Pour Homme. This has satisfied my rosemary cravings. It's really a unique fragrance that's not like anything I've smelled from a designer and can be found pretty cheap on the discount sites.
A lot of rosemary and cypress in the opening, maybe too much for some but the patchouli and wood really smooths out and grounds this fragrance on the dry down, I just love it! A lot of people say this is more of a green fragrance than bleu, but I definitely get the bleu vibe and there is sort of a 'wet' accord overall to my nose. I have a 150 ml bottle and will definitely buy a backup before this becomes hard to find. Awesome stuff.
BTW, I have the Eau Fraiche version as well which is similar with more of an aquatic, minty vibe and not nearly as herbal in the opening.
Current favorites_____Black Tourmaline_____Gucci Pour Homme II_____Memoir Man_____Tuscan Leather______Montale Aoud and Pine_____Sel Marin_____Invasion Barbare_____Tonka Imperial____Dior Homme Intense_____L'Humaniste____Santal 33_____Bois d'Argent_____Nio_____MFK Oud_____Lumiere Noire_____Bois d'Encens_____Cuir Ottoman
Chiron and Blend 30 get my vote!
I do find it kind of odd that if Gucci Nobile is on the list, that vintage Hermes Bel Ami is left off... Because the current reformulation is easily obtained but the older one commands serious $$ if you buy it outright (not wait for bidding competition on low starting price auction).

MACASSAR - Rochas , NOBILE - Gucci , PHILEAS - Nina Ricci get my votes.
Discover my Guest Reviewer Of The Day here
From the list I choose Phileas , but the one I enjoy very much and it's not in your list is AD Plus by Alain Delon
Vintage Nicole Miller For Men. Was a definite keeper.
Don't panic. Just stay calm, and reload....
Personally, I was in real doubt about Ebene fom Balmain. If anything I would have classed this perfume as the ultimate cult fragrance.....but I was the only one to vote !!! I think times change and with it, perfumes too. When I joined basenotes in 2006 (?)...Furyo was "the" cult frangrance. Today it is hardly mentioned.

Thanks, I'm glad we made peace. I absolutely agree about helping and advising each other. I also think we should be humble about our collections as well. If someone does inquire about certain fragrance characteristics and it's a rare fragrance that matches, I am more than happy to share the information. But I also refrain from trumping up a fragrance more than it is due. I have seen some do that. "It's ultra rare and you'll probably never find it. I'm just glad I stocked up when I did." Maybe I've read too many of those.
This one still remains a favorite of mine.
From the list, I'd say Arpege pH. But there are so many other discontinued gems with large followings, like Gucci Envy.
My Ultimate Top 5:
Fahrenheit (1988)
Paul Smith Man (2009)
Burberry London (2006)
Prada Amber pour Homme (2006)
Arpege pour Homme (2005)

By Man is the only one I liked enough to purchase more than one back-up, so that easily gets the vote. Also own and enjoy Arpege and Deep Forest.
I am really astonished by this poll that Ebene from Balmain is not getting more votes, especially when you read the ecstatic reviews for it on all the perfume websites.

Who is the most important male player ever.
This is connected to the other poll recently posted and they both stem from the thread 'Is Jimmy Connors underrated'.
Ernie Gulbis...mark my words.
I've never heard that question about tennis players before.
Important in what way? I don't know if there are any important people in tennis right now among current pro players.
I guess Billie Jean King would be the best and only answer. Some might say Arthur Ashe. Maybe any of the several who have started charities/foundations such as Agassi and his school.
Maybe Ilie Nastase for having sex with 2500 women (he said so in his book). Maybe he was important to all of them. Maybe he gave them something to remember for the rest of their lives? Is that important?
Wingfield? Howard Head? Walter Clopton Wingfield?
With the exception of Billie Jean King, I don't know if the world would be any different today if any certain player had never been born.
Edited later:
Oh! opps! You said "male" player.
Ashe I guess.
Borg maybe
Laurie Doherty, Tilden, Budge & Pancho Gonzalez should get into that list :)
Vijay Amritraj, of course.
This is the most important thread ever.
major Clopton Wingfield.He invented tennis...
Jack Kramer, without a doubt. Great player that changed the game with the s&v dominating for decades but then really changed the game after he quit playing and began administrating the shamateurism to pro play.
Kramer was very influential, and possibly tennis greatest ever politician.
Tilden gave tennis a big boost and was considered the first tennis intelectual.
Other guys that were responsible for the growth of tennis were promotors Lamar Hunt and George Mc Call.
Laver and Rosewall helped keep the popularity of tennis alive in the 1960's so they were influential also. Borg created almost the rock star image of tennis in the 1970's with some other players I suppose.
Pancho Segura was very influential in his own way as a player and a coach.
It's hard to pin down one name, but I have a few names. From what I read, Kramer and Tilden seem to be important figures. Laver did the Grand Slam twice. Connors and Borg did much to give tennis a boost in the 70's media and television boom. Arthur Ashe, rest his soul. Overall, I have a lot of time for Billie Jean King too, fair play to the women. Wasn't Suzanne Langlen a massive star in her day?
Where's Lendl? Seriously, we wouldn't have the slow surface grindfests we have today without him. If this period of slow surfaces and hard-hitting baseliners obsessed with fitness continues for another decade, the father of that kind of tennis should certainly be considered the most important ever.
None of the guys on your list are repeatable. They're all one of a kind. How does that make them important? What did the contribute to the sport but popularity, fleeting popularity...
He may be the number one guy.
Who knows, without him we may be playing with tiny wood racquets. That's big.
I think he may have invented the tennis ball machine but I'm not sure.
Lendl! Everytime I see Berdych or Del Potro crushing a flat forehand, I just say to myself 'that's Lendl's mark on the game'.

Aattakatha, directed by Kannan Perumudiyoor, is a journey through the cultural landscape of Kerala. The movie has songs composed by the late composer Raveendran.
Few composers in Malayalam cinema have had as big a fan following as Raveendran did. Eight years after his death, his songs continue to delight. The new film Aattakatha, which has six songs composed by the late legend, reaches cinemas today.
"This, I think, will be the last film to release that contains Raveendran's songs. Aattakatha is very much a musical film," says Kannan Perumudiyoor, director of the film
Incidentally, five of the songs were written by Gireesh Puthencherry, the late lyricist who had forged a successful partnership with Raveendran. M.D. Rajendran has penned the other. K.J. Yesudas, Chithra, Vijay Yesudas, Biju Narayanan, Radhika Thilak and Asha Menon have sung the songs.
Aattakatha is Kannan's debut as a director but he has made a name for himself in the industry as the producer of Ee Puzhayum Kadannu, a love story starring Dileep and Manju Warrier in the lead. "Aattakatha is a love story. I would say it is an old-fashioned love story. The film is based on my novel Cholliyattam. It is about cultural conflict. The main plot of the film involves a French woman, played by German actor Irina Jacoby, who comes to Kerala to study Kathakali, and her relationship with a Kathakali actor called Unni (Vineeth). Meera Nandan plays the other prominent role of Sethulakshmi, a student of music," says the director.
Malavika Wales also has an important role. "The film is actually narrated from her character, Meleena's point of view. She is searching for her mother. The film is a nostalgic trip through Kerala's culture and art," he says.
Another highlight of the film is Vineeth's performance.
"Since he is a talented dancer, he could carry off the role of a Kathakali actor quite well. In the climax, I was planning to use bits of Kathakali, but since Vineeth was so good, we decided to focus on him alone," says Kannan.
Vineeth says Aattakatha was a nice experience for him as an actor.
"I am glad that such a film, which is so rooted in our culture is still being made. Songs by Raveendran are a reminder of our rich music tradition," he says.
Keywords: Aattakatha, Mollywood, Kerala culture, music composer Raveendran, musical film, Kannan Perumudiyoor

I'm just 34 weeks, and baby is measuring about 3 weeks ahead of schedule - 6lb 6oz. I do have GD, and they're talking about letting me "try" a natural delivery, but they want to do a cesarean birth. Which I will likely refuse.
As far as baby being breech - he has plenty of time to turn - mine keeps doing summersaults! Much to my tummy's dismay!
"And I have taken the path less traveled, and that has made all the difference." Robert Frost
I guess I don't see having a C-section as the end of the world. Maybe that's because I don't really have a choice. Both my babies are transverse (sideways) and no room to really move at this point. As long as they are healthy that's all that matters.
If your little guy is a little big and complications mean a c-section, so be it. Good luck and maybe you'll be joining me in March. They just scheduled mine for March 26. ;)
