Effects of elevated seawater pCO2 on gene expression patterns in the gills of the green crab, Carcinus maenas

BMC Genomics 2011, 12:488 doi:10.1186/1471-2164-12-488Published: 6 October 2011
The green crab Carcinus maenas is known for its high acclimation potential to varying environmental abiotic conditions. A high ability for ion and acid-base regulation is mainly based on an efficient regulation apparatus located in gill epithelia. However, at present it is neither known which ion transport proteins play a key role in the acid-base compensation response nor how gill epithelia respond to elevated seawater pCO2 as predicted for the future. In order to promote our understanding of the responses of green crab acid-base regulatory epithelia to high pCO2, Baltic Sea green crabs were exposed to a pCO2 of 400 Pa. Gills were screened for differentially expressed gene transcripts using a 4,462-feature microarray and quantitative real-time PCR.
Crabs responded mainly through fine scale adjustment of gene expression to elevated pCO2. However, 2% of all investigated transcripts were significantly regulated 1.3 to 2.2-fold upon one-week exposure to CO2 stress. Most of the genes known to code for proteins involved in osmo- and acid-base regulation, as well as cellular stress response, were were not impacted by elevated pCO2. However, after one week of exposure, significant changes were detected in a calcium-activated chloride channel, a hyperpolarization activated nucleotide-gated potassium channel, a tetraspanin, and an integrin. Furthermore, a putative syntaxin-binding protein, a protein of the transmembrane 9 superfamily, and a Cl-/HCO3- exchanger of the SLC 4 family were differentially regulated. These genes were also affected in a previously published hypoosmotic acclimation response study.
The moderate, but specific response of C. maenas gill gene expression indicates that (1) seawater acidification does not act as a strong stressor on the cellular level in gill epithelia; (2) the response to hypercapnia is to some degree comparable to a hypoosmotic acclimation response; (3) the specialization of each of the posterior gill arches might go beyond what has been demonstrated up to date; and (4) a re-configuration of gill epithelia might occur in response to hypercapnia.

Perhaps tomorrow will be better.
My score would be about the same a 6.
The game is very linear,even the maps are so small and linear.The graphics were not as good as i remember them advertising in videos,probably tone down for F2P reasons,but maybe not,i don't see much detail in anything.
What is fair about the game is ,you never get the feeling of needing to use item mall.The crafting i found to be very cumbersome,too many hard to get items,so either a large time sink or possibly that is where the item mall comes in,idk i never even looked at the item mall.The simple part of crafting,not really crafting more so a 60/40 chance at success or fail upgrades,is just a ho hum design.
DO not expect anything amazing from the game ,it is your typical F2P looking game,just moving from quest to quest,is pretty much 99.9% of the game.

Just want to point out, that if you're going to review a game with a cash shop, you should really mention the cash shop, what kinds of things are for sale, and give an idea of pricing. As controversial as cash shops are, not mentioning the cash shop in a review could be seen as biased, which leads one to wonder why? Is it overpriced? Is it impossible to play the game without it? etc.

Accurate review.
The graphics have a good style, and the levelling speed is quite quick at least for the beginning.
As mentioned, grouping is required and not always easy to setup. My other propblem is that only 4 gender locked classes with very few armor sets means everyone is a clone, which kills immersion for myself.
The game is decent for a fun romp in a new setting.

I felt this review lacking. Either its just that game does not have much to offer than run of the mill questing and dungeon running and some pvp, or it was just the review focused on just the graphics, gender locked classes, and robot animations.
This review is spot on. I got bored after a few days and especially when I hit the first forced group quest.
Great music, great scenery, but the rest is bit stale and dull and typical of FTPs these days.

How old is this review?
Seriously, he says it is the webzen(EU) version but yet the lvl cap is 100? Webzen is up to lv150, with 5 classes not 4, and has been that way for awhile.
Even then ijji version(NA) has been lv115 since feb.25th. This is the first review i've seen of the game and it is already in need of a re-review.
I hate to sound like some crazed fanboy but almost every flaw pointed out in this review isn't true, animations are very fluid and flashy. Depending on what class you are regular attacks can seem rather slow and clunky at low lvls, but there are skills and stats that improve overall attack speed, which smooths everything out.
((Forgot to add, melee can't spam skills in this game. Say if you are a Berzerker, you are required to do atleast 1 normal attack before each attack skill, so THAT is why he felt the skills to be unresponsive.))
The best thing about this game is the freedom, your character isn't forced to be a certain way, UNlike all the crappy WoW-style linear progression systems. You choose whatever stats/skills/gear you want, and if you make some really bad choices along the way.. then and only then, could I see how most of what this reviewer says about the game as being true.

From the review, it does look like he played the game to get a feel for it, but it felt like he didn't really immerse himself in it. The posters before me have a point, when reviewing a FTP with MT its important to mention the cash shop and its pricing and how it affects your gameplay. The review also seems slightly lacking.
Why does everyone think that if you have a predefined class, that you suddenly lose choice of freedom? I have choices. If I want to heal I play my priest, druid, shammy or pally. If I want to tank I choose the tank classes, etc. Granted, maybe you want all of those one character. Sure that would be great. FFXI did it but no one is copying them, which they should.
I still think a hybrid system of themepark/sandbox is the way to go, to appease those who like and those who don't like the WoW style linear progression. Which isn't as linear as everyone makes it out to be. I give Warhammer as a better example of a far to linear game design.

Im rather shocked that the reviewer felt the animations in SUN are lacking. Im not sure what MMO's hes been exposed to, but the animations are on par with games like Aion and Guild Wars. In fact, in some cases SUN is better than both. Hell, roll a dragon knight and pick up a spear and watch the insane combat moves as he spins and twirls his spear in action. Those are anything at all but "sticky" or poor. Theres a lot of emote animations that are very fluid, as well as idle animations. To say SUN is suffering from poor animations is like saying the MMO genre as a whole suffers from poor animations (which may be a fact..) but honestly.. SUN is arguably one of the best animated MMO's you'll find.
Aside from that, I agree with most of the review with the exception of the score. A flat 6 seems very harsh for this game. However, MMORPG.com has done a fine job of destroying its bell curve when you see overall how they rate even AAA games so I can understand them low balling SUN considering games like EQ2 earned below an 8 and WoW gets an 8.1

Thanks for the review-- now there's hope to play that game again if it picks up at 40.
Honestly, I have only one complaint about SUN, and that's ijji. In fact, I think the major reason I don't play now is ijji... because I can't find another reason why I would have stopped. I never really noticed any sticky animations in the game either... though the gameplay itself did feel alittle clunky... it was still fun though.
People that put themselves above others put me in a bad mood.

Gender lock is annoying but the way u build your character is the funnest (annoying?) part. There are basically at least 3 ways to build: stat based or one of the two proficiencies. So it's like there are 12 classes maybe. It's cool.
Problem is it might not be fun enough to grind that high for it to matter. And yeah, everyone looks the same.
Graphics and sound are good though.
Edit I also bought a few cash items but the only ones I really paid for were the exp boost and the run faster potion. I guess if you wanna go nuts you'll have to buy more shit like box of wonder etc but anyway try it I guess!
I just re-read this review and.. ya I gotta chime in here and say 'what an extremely limited review" (quoted to echo what several other posters already said). I didnt really notice it the first time I sifted through it, but re-reading it.. it couldnt have been any more limited.
One thing that really struck me was this:
"The Battle Zone is probably the most unique aspect of the game worth mentioning"
really? Is that why the reviewer gave literally no explanation as to what it is and spent the sentence I pasted.. as well as a nice run on sentence using language a 5th grader would use to describe something he didnt completely understand? Heres the rest of the "battle zone review":
"Designed to be similar to PvP in most other MMOs, the system adds the ability to physically select your battleground, from your choice of different maps, to your choice of difficult level."... ya..thats it. Such a unique aspect of the game, glad you took the time.
for starters, the "battlezone" system is not limited to PvP. This is just one aspect of this system. And even though I agree that the battlezone system is in fact, very unique to SUN, the reviewer did an absolute piss poor job in describing what makes it so unique in his two short sentences.
If I may quote from the website, you all may understand "Battlezones" a little bit more:
Battle Zone System
Various MapsCharacter's growth depending each users' taste.
Battle Zone
Unlike regular quests, mission map runs separately as different style of scenario goal achievement. Users can experience far more action in this mode and various rewards upon mission completion.
Hunting Map
Simply structured map designed for leveling up your character. Users can choose the max number of participants, max level, class limit, difficulty, bonus reward, etc.
PVP (Player versus Player)
Battle Arena designed for combats between players. 1v1 individual battles up to 5v5 team battles are possible in this mode.
Event Map
Variety of different events is hosted in this mode. Each map is preset with certain goals users must achieve. Upon completion users will receive very valuable reward.
Stylish CombatsFast character movements, visually vibrant effects, and thrilling sounds will maximize the intensity for every combat.
Stylish Combat System
Various Attack Style
Mind Blowing Action
much like the MMORPG.com forums, their reviewers need a bit more moderation before they post their reviews.

Judging from that i'd say you havn't played this game, but you miss the point of what I mean by linear WoW-style.
In SUN you are still a predefined class, you can't cross-class skills/equipment, but you do have complete freedom as to how you want to "build" your character by manually applying your own stats, which determines the skills and equipment you can actually use.
Whereas WoW-styled's don't have stats at all, only skill points, leveling requires no thought or planning whatsoever. When you lvl up It does it all for you and basically makes everyone the same as the next person with that class. Only variable in those type of games is who has the better gear, not who actually made the better character.
Right. I'll take Wow mechanics any day over Sun's. I did play the game, for about 2 days. It wasn't memorable enough for me to remember how the skills are applied etc. to the classes. Could care less really.
I didn't hate Sun, I just think it feels like all the other Eastern FTPs I've ever played.

My freedom relies on yours
By all accounts it's taken a long time to become localised for the west. It's annoying that the publishing deal is split between 2 companies, with Webzen handling the EU and Ijji handling UK and US, that's a real problem right there, most UK players and EU players are used to playing with each other within a small time zone difference so the game can't attract any pan european guilds, it's a big blow against it.
I read the review and agree that it's lacking, espicially regarding Battle Zones, if you're going to mention it then some detail would be better, it's probably one of the most unique things about the title and therefore deserved more attention.
I did go take a look and then download the game after reading this review, the first thing that struck me was how easy it is to get in to the game, from start to finish with a decent internet connection you should be in the game within 30 mins to an hour, including patching, that's a major bonus for any title.
I've only played for a few hours and completed the first 'dungeon', I have to say I've not had so much fun in an F2P title so easily and so quickly, the stats system was a little confusing but the free respecs helped me out. It may be that longer exploration will reveal some flaws and the CS impact is completely unknown (another major missing angle in the review).
Graphics are great for an F2P, I didn't notice any issues with the animations and I really liked the monster designs. First impressions are good.

Nice review, though as others said before: a review of a F2P game should include details about the item shop. If you can play the game alright without spending money, or if it becomes unbearable quickly. How much you got to pay to be viable in PvE or PvP, and so on.

The mayor wants to cut overtime, but Akins claims this would cripple his department. They get into a heated argument with the mayor claiming that the department is corrupt and abusing overtime anyway, while Akins tells him that cops are not appreciated enough which leads to some of them taking bribes. Before the mayor can respond, he is shot by a sniper from another building.The cops arrive, investigate the crime scene and the sniper's nest and talk to the commissioner.

Sawyer gets a call that the superintendent has been shot, too.Driver is at the scene, everyone is holding back for the danger of the sniper still there. After two hours they decide to go in, as not to lose any evidence because of the snow. Driver deals with the body and lets Sawyer and the Probson deal with the press. Probson is pissed by Sawyer's taking charge and she tells him to keep his personal problems to himself as long as there are more urgent matters.The superintendent was talking to a school principal when it happened, but she didn't notice anything. Sawyer talks to the press, being watched suspiciously by Probson.Allen and Montoya are back at Central where Montoya is angry about no one brewing new coffee. She actually doesn't like the case. They discuss if the both shootings are connected and suppose so, considering also that the mayor was involved in some dubious deals. Stacy is closing the blinds, just to be safe.Back at the school, Driver also sees that the mayor wasn't always "clean" with his business. They have a possible witness. Nora, the coroner, tells them to take away the corpse when suddenly there are shots. Several cops are shot, including Nora. Marcus is trying to help despite the danger. Josie sees something in a far away building and the cops immediately go there. In an apartment they find another body and a laptop with a webpage that looks like something by the Joker.At Central, Probson gets the call from Josie with the news. He immediately takes Stacy to the roof to active the Bat Signal. She doesn't want to be exposed and Sarge thinks it's a bad idea, too. They turn on the signal, but the moment Batman arrives, more shots are fired. Batman saves Stacy, knowing it's the Joker. Then the Bat Signal is destroyed by another shot.

Top UC executives demand pension boost
They say it was promised in 1999
To help close the pension gap, the university system is reducing benefits for future employees, raising the retirement age and requiring higher employee contributions. Meanwhile, the regents approved an 8 percent increase in tuition effective next year — on top of a 32 percent increase imposed this year.
Fee hikes in the wake of California's budget crisis have led to dramatic student protests up and down the state.
The demands from the well-paid academics has sparked outrage by critics who say high public pensions are a burden to taxpayers, especially during such bleak economic times.
"People involved in these publicly funded pensions are totally out of touch with reality — the reality of the common resident or taxpayer," said Kendal White of Escondido, who works for a family-owned motorcycle dealership. "It's outrageous."
Marcia Fritz, president of the California Foundation for Fiscal Responsibility, lashed out at the IRS for lifting the $245,000 pension cap to begin with. She went on to say that the current fiscal crisis trumps any 12-year-old plans that might have been made to bump up pension benefits for top UC officials.
"Things change. We have to argue with what's going on today. I think this should go to court," Fritz said. "They limit pensions under IRS regulations and then somehow they will work with the local agency to get around the caps. It's abusive."
The UC regents will likely take up the issue early next year, officials said. Although Yudof had recommended that the pension hike get rescinded, he is reconsidering in response to the letter, his spokesman said.
Sullivan, the UCSD management dean, said he and his colleagues are not expecting widespread sympathy for their fight. He said the issue at hand is about ethics, and keeping promises, rather than money.
"We know that benefits packages and health care have to be reined in," Sullivan said. "We are aware that the issue of the day — salaries and retirement packages — may influence this. Opponents will not be sympathetic."

Six Smart Business Uses for the iPad
A Better Connection to the Customer
"Consumers expect technologies in their lives," said Pat Martucci, founder and CEO of Incentient, a company that offers iPad solutions to businesses. Lacking technology, he says, customers "hit the hotel rooms, and suddenly they go back to 1965." Incentient's iPad software connects hotel guests to room service, concierge, housekeeping, and bellman services. Some hotels, like Hotel Indigo in San Diego, keep iPads at the front desk and let guests use them to send Tweets or check e-mail in the comfort of the hotel's lobby and bar.

Historical Traveler Reviews NH City Centre Amsterdam
Would stay again
Nice location (away from Dam area tourist traffic) very easy to get around all of Amsterdam - Tram a minute walk away. Standard room was smallish but adequate and also immaculate.
Go out the Hotel's canal exit side make a right and at the next street corner is a small cafe (used by locals) which serves a nice breakfast for a 6-7 Euros.
A great stay!
Great stay at the City Centre hotel! Clean with nice facilities and great location. It's definitely worth it to spend a little more for a "superior" size room. They are very spacious and most with a nice view. Some of the non superior rooms can be a little on the small size. Staff at the hotel were exceptionally nice. They let us preview several rooms beforehand and choose which rooms we wanted. On my second stay, they even let me change rooms after they put me on a lower floor where the windows did not open (I need fresh air).
Great Hotel, Great People, Great City
Spent 4 nights at this hotel and it was absolutely wonderful. Room was a good size, nicely decorated and very clean. The staff in the hotel were helpful and friendly and the hotel bar area was very pleasant. The location of this hotel was superb. This was our second visit to this hotel and once again we had a great time.
Small is not beautiful
If your other reviews are to go by..we must have stayed at a different hotel! The first floor rooms were so tiny, we had to sit on the bed to let each other past - no space for luggage and a lovely view of the rear fire escape. Having complained, got moved to a slightly bigger room - with one side of the bed against a wall. On a positive note it was clean. The staff explained the rooms were small as the hotel was built for the olympics..well we were not paying 1920's prices and expected better. The buffet breakfast was an extortionate price, with staff who obviously felt that service was not in their job description.
The postion of the hotel was great for getting around but we will not stay here again.
Easter in Amsterdam!
Just come back from Amsterdam having stayed there for the easter weekend. Stayed in the NH City Centre hotel. This hotel was excellent.
No problems with the food, location or staff. Only draw back was that the room was quite small but didnt spend much time in there anyway! Had a couple of meals in the hotel restuarant, which again was very nice along with the breakfast. All in all a very nice weekend and I would definately stay at this hotel again and the other NH Hotels too.
A nice place
This hotel is a nice place: quiet, clean and especially close to tram lines & Leidesplein. Room was not the biggest I've been in, but big enough. Breakfast was OK.
The only problem I had was that air conditioning was functioning funnily, room was either very hot or very cool. My colleague had exactly the same issue.
This is a place I can recommend!
Great place!
Was hoping for a good hotel but this place was great. Friendly and helpful staff, clean and well equipped rooms and an excellent buffet breakfast. Can't believe it's only 3 stars! Can't wait to stay there again.
Great hotel
Stayed at this hotel twice and it has been of great value both times.
Just around the corner of Spui, at the end of Spuistraat with the road on one side and the canal on the other. Quiet with little traffic noise, well spaced rooms, clean rooms and bathrooms, all in all good value for money. Breakfast so-so, but fair enough. Excellent location with busy shopping streets close on one side, canal district on the other side and trams just outside. I will be staying there again next time!
Great place to stay
the nh city center was a great place to stay. the staff is very helpful and welcoming and the free breakfast is absolutely fabulous! i would reccommend this hotel to anyone going to amsterdam. the hotel is right on the single canal, and the rooms ar fairly big for a european hotel that isn't 5 star. the Nh city center has a great location and is within walking distance from most things and a street over from three of the tram lines. restaurants, coffeeshops, bars, newstands and pastry shops are all within a 5 minute walk.
A good value hotel. I have stayed here on a number of occasions - now a NH Hotel, good position as you are close to both Dam Square and The Leidesplein - book early - this hotel quickly gets booked up!

L'Oréal's brand Dermablend hire "anti-model" to create a perfect viral
The L'Oréal small brand Dermablend hired the most tattooed man in the world Rick Genest aka Zombie Boy, to create a perfect low-budget viral video campaign.
L'Oréal, known as big spender in traditional media, recently moved money into content creation in digital media such as Zombie Boy's 'Go Behind The Cover' video.
Through the course of the video the brand shows how well its makeup can cover pretty much anything by graphically demonstrating the brand's attributes. The transformation is a
bsolutely amazing.
When we deconstruct this viral video we see that it has all key elements of Dr. Coker's branded viral movie predictor (BVMP) algorithm to go viral
The algorithm's four key elements are congruency, emotive strength, network-involvement ratio and paired meme synergy.
- Congruency: The theme of a video must be congruent with people's pre-existing knowledge of the brand it is advertising. My association with Dermablend brand, a product that can cover skin imperfections, has been consistent with the film theme and as result I am likely to form high opinion of the film.
- Emotive strength: Disgust, Fear, Sentiment and Involvements, Humour and Happiness. It has been disturbing yet incredible when I realised at the end of the film that Rick was a head-to-toe skeleton tatto.
- Network-involvement ratio: Video must be relevant to a large network of people and the larger the better. Cosmetic brands have got a large network.
- Paired meme synergy: Dr Coker defined 16 memes(cutsie wootsie, impromptu, disruption destruction, performance, anticipation, simulation trigger, skill bill, vigilante justice, eyes surprise, baby love, nostalgic bubblegum, voyeur, rose glasses and comedy side split) and discovered that a video will only go viral if it has the right combinations of these concepts. In this video producers used the right combination of unexpectedness and voyeur.
The video is part of a larger overall campaign the company is running called Go Beyond The Cover, which relates to the essence of branding – honesty.
"It shows even a small brand can have a program that have some great ideas that bring to life what the brand is all about" said Marc Speichert L'Oreal USA Chief Marketing Officer.

If the physical burn-in doesn't exist, your ears still have to get used to a headphone so psychological burn-in occurs. I've just learned to accept that over time I will enjoy a headphone more (to an extent).

while it pains me to admit it, this is just about what i believe. id like to make a broad statement saying burn in is a fairytale and that its just a load of nonsense. but to be entirely honest, when i got my dtx 101s, i was appalled by their lack of bass. yet, i persisted, and gave them a good fair chance, and just the other day, i caught myself admiring how bassy they are!
i doubt very much any physical burn in effects occur, but "psychological burn in", i.e, getting used to your new headphones sound signature, i have found can make a difference.
all of this is all entirely in my very humble opinion. of course.

IMO burn-in is as real as the huge improvement in sound achieved by that $300 replacement headphone cable. Zero. The change is in your head, not your gear.

Some burn in inevitably exists. It's just common sense.
With dynamic drivers, you have moving parts built out of properties and materials that change under different conditions.
With amps and DACS, less so. It's possible you can have some settling of electronic components as current is applied to them.
Cables? That's just silly in my opinion. I do believe a better cable can make a slight difference. If you're making more space available for the current to run, the better the result. The material used results in impedance changes. Though slight.
But burn in on cables? Seems ridiculous to me.

No I dont believe in it. If something does happen, its just people getting used to their headphones
Does everyone here believe in burn in?
No, everybody here does not believe in burn-in.
Does burn-in exist? is altogether another question.
This totally negates the effect of headphone operation and component ageing just on someone's belief to the contrary.

I've always been a skeptic this way, but I did hear it for myself with my JVC HA-S500 headphones. But I do not believe that solid state electronics or cables are affected.

I have been using the hunt Washington download map for over 4 years. I have always had one rule when it comes to upgrades. When I spend the money to upgrade any software, I expect that upgrade to be better than the upgrade before it. Onxmaps goes well beyond that demand. This is the most useful GPS map I have ever owed and it just keeps getting better and better. Thank you Onxmap team!

Property Details
5000 SQ.FT Two-Story Full House; Lower Garden District
Elegant Greek Revival, 8-bedroom home off Magazine Street in the Lower Garden District with heated pool and waterfall, immense chef friendly kitchen, and amazing master bedrooms/bathroom suite.
Open kitchen and living room (38'X24') with 50' TV, DVR, Blu-Ray, and an upright piano - opening onto secluded pool area with hanging garden.
Two pull-out beds downstairs in private dens, 6 bedrooms upstairs with 8 beds, 4 full bathrooms. Three clawfoot tubs. Perfect for any corporate group or family. Wi-Fi, cable, industrial washer/dryer, privacy. Quiet.
VERY IMPORTANT!!! Please be thoughtful about the dynamics of your group. If all men, it is quite unlikely that you'll be sleeping 2 people in EVERY bed. If all couples you probably won't want two sets of couples in one bedroom together. There are 2 bedrooms which have 2 beds in them. You might be fine with putting four small children together in those beds, but it would more likely be either two single adults or just one couple in one of the beds, maybe one of the kids in bed on the other side of the room. So please think it through in terms of your specific group. SIX bedrooms upstairs with 8 beds. Two sleeper sofas downstairs. Those are best for singles.
Streetcar 4 blocks away runs to French Quarter, or uptown to Audubon Park and Zoo, Tulane and Loyola - Connection at Canal St. to City Park and the New Orleans Museum of Art, Botanical Gardens. Morial Convention Center is walking distance to the river four blocks away.
Coffee shop, Mojo, on the corner. Great breakfast place, Surrey's, one block away. Walk to Magazine St.'s boutiques, galleries, antique shops, spas, gym and restaurants.
Contact the owner for more information and rates.

Bell, vice president of product strategy for DaimlerChrysler's Chrysler Group, will assume his new position June 12. While at Chrysler, Bell was noted for pushing the automaker into video games and online marketing.
"Jeff brings a unique mix of consumer experience and innovation to the interactive entertainment business," Peter Moore, vice president of Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business and former head of Xbox marketing, said in a statement. "His track record in driving automotive video game strategies and his influence on urban marketing plans are indicators of his expertise and leadership."
Chrysler attracted more than 3 million registered users to the 40 online games it produced for use as marketing tools.
Microsoft is looking for similar success with its own games. Last December, the software giant split its entertainment and devices division into four distinct business groups that now include the Interactive Entertainment Business unit.
That split was part of a major reorganization Microsoft underwent in September, when the entire company was divided into three divisions. The reorganization was designed to streamline Microsoft's decision-making and accelerate development of its products.
In January, Moore noted the new Xbox 360 console was, overall, selling as planned, even though North America retailers had difficulty keeping inventory in stock and consumers in Japan were slow to snap up the new console.

Hey, why not! I wear Carnal Flower, for heaven's sake, and I assure you there's nothing effeminate about me. (Or my beard.) The trick, I think, is to wear such things with conviction and confidence.
I bought a bottle of Chanel No.19 EdT today because I really love the iris and galbanum in this. The SA suggested it and we both though it smelled rather masculine on me. I love green frags and I love florals, but I hope this doesn't come off too feminine to others. Anybody else own No. 19 EdT?
Hey, why not! I wear Carnal Flower, for heaven's sake, and I assure you there's nothing effeminate about me. (Or my beard.) The trick, I think, is to wear such things with conviction and confidence.
I admire it and have considered it along with O by lancome by ultimately, I didn't think I could pull it off. However, I think you can if you believe you can!
The trick with this one--as with most women's fragrances, if you're too self conscious about how they/you may be perceived-- is to go reasonably light on application and leave the house about a hour or two after spraying when the top notes have faded and/or melded with the middle notes and the base notes have begun to assert themselves. Using this modus operandi, I have found very few women's fragrances too feminine to wear. Of course, when wearing fragrances marketed towards women, wearing them with Vibert's "conviction and confidence" is essential.
Best regards,
P.S. You should give the EDP version a try. It's one of the best women's/men's vetiver based fragrances ever. A Jacques Polge masterpiece worthy of the name of Henri Robert's original.

Good for you j_w_s - I wish I could wear it, and yes it's green crispness puts it in the class of Private Collection by Estee Lauder (which I love and can wear) and/or some of the Diptyque scents (Eau de Lierre, Jardin Clos...).
I think Renee (rtamara41) loves C19 - I'm sure she'll see this thread soon and comment on it.
Supposedly this scent was named after Gabrielle Chanel's birthdate (August 19). Is it just a coincidence j_w_s that you decided to purchase this on October 19th?

MikePerez23... I didn't plan on buying No. 19 today the 19th. But that is kind of cool.
I am actually looking forward to trying this in cooler weather. It feels aloof and somber, but beautiful. Scentemental, I will take your advice on application and wait for the middle and basenotes to come forward before going public and Vibert, I will stick my chest out and wear it instead of it wearing me; hopefully.
It's a great one. Vintage edt especially.

Barry, I bought this this month too. I've been making mental notes for a review. I don't think you're crazy either.
The tail-end dry down of No.19? Wow. Incredible. Eight hours of waiting (eight hours of good, for sure) and then, whoa, climax.
That girl, that bottle, that mattress and me.
only crazy sexy, honey
chanel no 19 is a beauty beyond gender
(yes, mr. perez, you were right that this would catch my eye. 19 is one of my kindred soul scents... )
neat that you got it on the 19th
I wore this at 17, and when I rediscovered it this past year, little did I realize how significant it would become for me. It's just a wonderful experience each time. Like you, I thought it to be aloof at first, but the more I wear it, the more sensual and warm it feels. It's an approachable scent. It truly is. Intimate and familiar.
I like with scentemental's application recommendations. thanks to him I have tasted several versions of this alongside my 100ml bottle of the edt. the vintage formulation brought me to tears.
Congratulations.Hope you will post your evolving impressions.

personally the last time I tried it I felt it was too "womanly" "matronly" even, but I didn't let it evolve, washed it off quickly
Just bought a sample of this stuff. Can't wait! I just hope it works on me and isn't TOO feminine! It really sounds beautiful.
I've always disliked No 19, because I tell myself that I do not like greens,
but all this constant talk about it here on this board has made me curious.
Now I will - God forgive me - go and sample this juice!
Duckie, just a tip: of the modern formulations, edp is rounder and more floral, the edt is sharply green. (I prefer vintage in any concentration.)
I own the current EDT and EDP as well as the vintage parfum, and enjoy all of them.
I thought the EdP had a stronger impression of leather, but the mini I have may be older.
I have only tried the new version EDP. Nice, light leather.
"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
New EDT has no leather but has the best iris and peppery rose combo ever!
If fragrance has a gender, so does all art.
The vintage EdP (which I tested for the 1st time a week ago) is currently on my To Find list. Great stuff!
I have only tried the current edt and it is on the top of my wihlist. I think if you wear it and like what you smell on your skin you shouldn't worry. Skin chemistry does play an important role. I am fortunate enough to be able to pull off a great deal of the feminine florals I like. I wear Sarassins!
regarding the original gender related topic,
here's an old chanel no 19 advertisement,
Bk45gB2kKGrHqQH-Dw.JPG please click to enlarge.
I have had a similar dilemma with No. 19. The problem is that it has such a transition from beginning to end and drydown is the best and most masculine part of the scent. I bought a bottle and every time I wear it I second guess myself because the first two hours, at least, smells green and floral but very strong aldehyde. This combination smells a bit perfumey (feminine?) to me and is not a good smell for me - I guess it is aldehyde. But the longer I go with No. 19 the more the green and woods come out with quite nice vibrancy - the drydown is one of the finest green wood fragrances I've smelled on man or woman. I have come to the conclusion that if the opening was not without that bold green aldehyde floral, the basenotes would not smell so fantastic - they might smell more like Dyptique's Virigilio and be just plain vetiver/ galbanum. But, these greens come alive in the base of this scent.

Edp is the most common formulation in some parts of Europe, so it's def. not discontinued. How companies decide where to sell/promote what is a mystery to me...
I know this is an old thread, but I'm really enjoying what a lot of you have said here. I agree that confidence is the key to getting away with anything, and I mean anything - fragrance, clothes, shoes ... murder xD haha. If you don't feel great wearing something, you will NEVER look/smell great in it.
As for Chanel No.19, I have only tested the current EdP, and I think it's absolutely fantastic. I have yet to test it on my skin, but on paper, the Iris really stands out. It's not a sweet, feminine Iris though, it's more like a leathery, mossy Iris. To me, it smells like a mature version of Dior Homme. I'll test this on my skin over the weekend, and if I like it, I will DEFINITELY buy it.
Interesting how what was all rage about wearing women's scents five years ago, has pretty much petered out.
I often wonder if it was because of poor results, or because perhaps some finally figured out how to tell the difference between men's and women's scents.
