I have 4 orders placed with them. The fist 2 were shipped at the end of april and the other two in may and june. Once the 2 months period expires (June 30th), i'm gonna do some inquiring.
I've been waiting for more than 10 weeks for a package I ordered from FragranceX. I've ordered from them before, and in the past it would take about 5 or 6 weeks for a package to arrive.
I tried contacting Australian customs about the matter, but I was redirected to Australia Post. They told me to request a Customs Declaration Number from FragranceX in order for the package to be tracked. I tried emailing them and got an automated response (typical!). Anyway, I'm going to wait just one more week. If my package doesn't arrive I'll call them, and if they don't give me a Customs Declaration Number (or whatever the US equivalent is), I'll assume this is some sort of "long firm" scam.
For those who don't know (or who can't be bothered 'Google-ing' it): a "long firm" scam is one where a buyer's confidence is built up over time - making numerous purchases, and receiving the items. The scammers (i.e. organised crime types) then get the buyer to make one large purchase (much bigger than all previous ones). Except, this time the goods ordered (and paid for - in full) are never dispatched. The scammers dissolve their operation and disappear into the night.
Now, FragranceX isn't going anywhere, but I think they feel they can get away with it due to a loophole they've created. Due to the unreliability of an international order that doesn't have a tracking number, the company can always argue that a package (which was never sent) has, in fact, been lost. It's not their fault, so they don't owe you anything. Furthermore, if the order isn't too expensive (like in my case it was A$58.00/US$50), they may anticipate that the buyer will eventually give up and simply never buy from them again. I mean, I won't exactly be taking legal action against them for 58 bucks, but I'm still pissed (and this is where the scam differs from the traditional "long firm").
So, in a hypothetical situation, if such a scam were enacted against 1000 people (let's say the amount of money in each case was US$50), that's $50'000 they'll be pocketing for nothing; and the worst that'll happen is that some of the people they've scammed will log onto web forums and rant about them.
Bastards! Never again (even if I do receive my packages)!

I have 4 orders placed with them. The fist 2 were shipped at the end of april and the other two in may and june. Once the 2 months period expires (June 30th), i'm gonna do some inquiring.
What annoys me about this situation is that I actually did my research on this company before ordering and on the whole most of the feedback was positive. Now since ordering, it seems that there are many people at the moment who are unhappy with the service and have not received their packages. It definitely seems to be mainly international orders and from other threads I have read, many people are waiting on orders that they made over 10 weeks ago! It seems that something has gone wrong with that side of their business. Whether it is a scam or not, they are definitely aware of the long waits people are experiencing and not warning people of realistic shipment times when ordering is negligent.
So I have some good news, guess what finally turned up on my doorstep this morning!! only 51 days after ordering..
One question I would like to ask our US friends(or whoever knows) is, does this picture indicate that the package was sent in June? (or postage paid for in June)..

I waited for nearly 4 months to get my package of Bois D Orage from Canada. Who knows, miracles happen
AUSSIES, come join our SPLIT GROUP at http://groups.google.com.au/group/oz-scent-splits
"No Pain, No Gain"
The order I placed that was supposedly shipped at 22nd of april arrived today.
the sticker shows that usps got the package at some date in june.
This is blatantly lying, and has nothing to do with customs or anything else.
I wish basenotes stopped advertising them.

I'd be a little careful about where I'd place the blame. I've had a registered package stuck at the postal services for a month because some idiot forgot to despatch it or misplaced the package. A really good company will know how to respond to customer complaints.
Anyway, I've got my stuff now and that's the main thing. Fingers Crossed for everyone else
I also received a package today. The printed sticker with my address has the same date as when I ordered (early may) but the postage stamp is the same as Mattyt's - 06/ /2010. It took 7 weeks to get here. Just as well they weren't for presents.
apparently everyone is to blame except fragrancex...
everything aside, there are two important facts:
they are dishonest and deceptive about shipping times (advertised 7-12 business days versus 60(!) days)
they have terrible customer service
there are too many other services that don't give me such headache for fragrancex to have my business.
I have placed with them 4 order in the last 2 months and i received nothing! i'm still waiting, i've spent over 150$ on those 4 orders. waiting is the only thing to do
last Friday i received 3 out of my 4 packages!!!!! YAY! I noticed on the package the label mentioning that it was shipped form Florida. So they send their packages from their warehouse in NY to FL?
Thank you for posting about this company. Has anyone tried Perfumeworld through Buy.com? I am rather leary due to the inaccurate descriptions and low prices.
UPDATE: I've recently received a refund for the order. Apparently the whole Icelandic volcano incident delayed (and ultimately prevented) its delivery. FragranceX sent me an email in which they apologised for the matter, and explained to me that the package had been returned to them.
Anyway, I'll give them another chance. But, the next time I order from them I'll use a mail-forwarding company like MyUS or Viadress. That way I'll get a tracking number as the package moves to the mail-forwarding company; and then I'll get another one as it moves across the world to me. FragranceX offers free (and tracked) ground shipping - within the US; and all the mail-forwarding companies (I know of) use international express shipping - with tracking numbers.
I'll also make some (comparative) savings on the cost of international express shipping by combining the fragrances I order with the other stuff I get from US stores. It should work out to be just a few dollars to ship the stuff out, and it should arrive in just a little over a week.

FragranceX are not a scam company. I have used them to supply product to New Zealand. The goods are well priced, they are authentic and are packaged well for shipping. They do fall down on their projected shipping times, my last parcel took 24 working days to arrive, well outside their advertised estimate of 7-14 Days. They should be a bit more realistic as it is well known that perfume is classed as dangerous goods and the problems associated with the airfreighting of such goods is well known. I would certainly vouch for this company and its products
Good prices and all but is this site reliable? Is there anyone of you who purchase your fragrances on fragranceX.com?
This has been discussed oh so many times earlier.
I'm happy with their products and the fact that they have free shipping to Europe. BUT shipping takes a long time, I have never waited less than 4 weeks, and a couple of times close to 3 months. I accept the wait, since it's pretty generous not to be charged for overseas shipping.
If you state your nationality in your profile (or your post), people can see if you are interested in views/reviews of their worldwide or domestic service.
Yes ,they are reliable but the shipping is too long to Europe.
I live in the UK. Took a few weeks to get here and got stung heavily on import duty/tax which made it more expensive than had I just popped to the local shops. So, if you're in the UK, pretty good if you don't mind waiting and you order under the duty threshold, whatever that is!
I guessed that their shipping was long only for Brazil... I use to receive my packages from there in 60 days in general.
The only negative experience that i had with them was one time when they listed a fragrance they didn`t had (feu d'issey), i bought it, and my order wasn`t processed. I had to call to them to know that they didn`t had the fragrance anymore.
Great site, far better than fragnet, better quality samples/bottles customer service.
Good site , the problem is to wait about 1 month to have the perfumes here in France . But the prices are so interesting ...
To my peeps in Canada - how long does it usually take for your orders to arrive? Its been 8 days since I placed mine, almost feels like forever.
they're a very reliable partner...shipping may take a while but with these prices...who cares...?
Knize Ten !
My no. 1 site for buying any scents. Prices are great, sizeable range of products, customer service has always been exemplary in my experience, and the fact that they offer free shipping anywhere in world makes them unique - the prices displayed are those you pay without another €10-€20 being added for postage & packaging.
Ok it may take a while for orders to be delivered (2-3 weeks for Europe) but i am willing to wait that time to get that free shipping option.
I think FragranceX is probably more reliable when just shipping domestically within the US. I've ordered 4 times from them and received every one of them including 2 shipments which I emphasised ,had to be rushed. Fast shipping too. 7 days maximum, within the US and next day air for rushed shipping. I received vintage Guerlain EDPs through them- authentic ,great condition too. Each time I spoke with a customer service rep on the phone ,they were helpful and accurate with their answers.
However, each time I hear something bad about them ,it does put me off ordering again.
Fragrancenet has so far, been very good to me too. Excellent scents ,good shipping. ( But just what am I going to do with those darned mirrors and Exceptional scent samples ?????!! )
For sale. Carnal Flower and Vero Profumo Onda.
Yes, it takes three months time for Europe !!!!
My sale thread :http://www.basenotes.net/search.php?searchid=2281122
"There are people of spirit and there are people of passion but much less common that one might think. Rarer still are the people of passion and spirit. But rarest of all is a passionate spirit."
-- Martin Buber
I don't think their prices are THAT cheap to justify those ridiculous delivery times. At least they should inform customers about this issue before checkout. As I remember, I only got that information after I had paid them. And honestly speaking, airmail(even a cheap one) from United States to Europe does not take 2 or 3 months. Talks about customs etc are nothing but an excuse. I am sure they are well aware of this and what do they do about it?
Still waiting here too...
My last order was completely dissapointed, I´ve just received a bottle that smells like nothing.A shame
My first 4 orders was OK. 3 weeks delivery time for the first 3 orders and 2(two)! days for the fourth order. An order placed 29th of September hasn't arrived yet. A few more orders placed 1-5 of November are still in "transit" I guess...not.
I've ordered hundreds of times from the US. Delivery time have NEVER been longer than 3 weeks. Usually the delivery time is about 7-10 days. FragranceX is the only exception with 21 days+ delivery time.
I wish I investigated FragranceX before ordering. I might lose $450
My current Top 5 in alphabetical order.
Aramis Havana Eau de Toilette
Azzaro Pour Homme Eau de Toilette
Boucheron Jaipur Pour Homme Eau de Parfum
Yves Saint Laurent Opium Pour Homme Eau de Parfum
Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche Pour Homme Eau de Toilette
Guys, FragranceX offer free ship to entire world, and this have a price.
The shipment method cost 16 cents per package.
The shipping company wait till they complete 900kg (2000lb) to EACH country, and then they ship to that country.
So massive buyers like usa have no problem, maybe 1 or 2 days are enough to complete the 2000lb.
But others probably will have to wait 2 or more months IN THE STORAGE OF THE SHIPPING company to get shipped. Only when they get 2000lb to that country they ship to them.
And fragrancex offer WHOLESALE account, and the prices of the wholesale is UNBELIEVABLE.
Just try to get a wholesale account there, if you can get one, will be FULL OF WIN!!
I have one, i buy 10 units per month.
I have just filed a claim with Paypal. I got sick of the standard reply from Fragrancex. "please be patient.....". They don't answer any of my questions....
I will NEVER buy from them again. Their customer service sucks.
I have renewed faith in Fx again.
Had two previous bad experiences and had to do credit card chargebacks which were successful, but then they tried it on by contacting my cc company telling them I had received the items and stated they were sent tracked.Cheeky! Had to inform cc co again they had never arrived. Chargeback remained so I din't lose my money.
However, their prices are so good I have purchased two very low cost items from them since after a long break and serious thought.
I think they have changed the courier. 1st package arrived within two weeks. Great!
John. I agree the customer service sucks.
Amazingly I purchased some Bandit shower gel ( unfortunately the fragrance is just too expensive now to buy from them) which was dispatched on 12th Dec (this year! ), it arrived YESTERDAY and, interestingly, the original label has been stuck over with another label which states 'Tracked' and a return address to 'Team Air Express Ltd,Unit 8, Crown Way, Horton Road, West Drayton'.
Considering the bad weather we are having here in GB and considering a 1st RD package sent within GB took over a week to arrive this is astounding service.
Will I be tempted to purchase from Fx again?
A resoundingly Yes!
Well done, Fx, for getting it right.
Got my refund from Payal.......and still no fragrance in the mail. Fragrance was purchased in October. Most fragrances I buy from the USA, arrive in Australia in 2 weeks.
Thanks for the heads up.
If I receive the item, I have no problem paying for it. I just don't like paying for something I didn't receive.
My two most recent orders never showed up, which surprised me as I had ordered successfully from them on three previous occasions. After eight months they're still giving me the same excuses...
I'll edit this as appropriate.
Ordered 3 bottles on Saturday 20 November 2010 with immediate email confirmation.
Tuesday 14 December I recieved an email inviting me to review my items.
Friday 24 December I recieved an email inviting me to participate in a customer survey.
As at Thursday 6 January, I haven't seen the items.
i think you will receive your 3 bottles in a 2 months time
well , so ... must hope. I think the first orders with them are quickly but after they relax.
my current top five (always in transition)
Dior Eau Noire
HdP 1725 Casanova
eau de gloire parfum d'empire
Dia man Amouage
comme des garçons man 2
I am so glad I found this thread, I ordered on 24/11/10 and like everyone else get the same reply....I have contacted my Credit Card company who are refunding my money and will investigate on my behalf. A pity I really wanted the perfumes, but will have to order through another site.
I even offered Fragrance X to send me a second order and if I got both would pay for both.....they could have gotten TWO sales out of me! I will never use them again! If they had better customer service I might consider them but their service is the worst I have ever experienced.
Ok, it was shipped on 2/1 through UPS, and I just checked the UPS site. It shows that my package was received my local post office lastnight. I got my mail, but no items from fragrancenet. Why does fragrancenet need to use UPS ---> USPS? Why can't they just send it UPS directly to me? This takes too long.
Well UPS will charge you a stupid broker free that'll cost you an arm and a leg. If they want to ship with "duty and tax included in your shipping" they need to do it through general mail.
Secondly, fragrancenet is NOTORIOUS for horrible shipping issues and people not receiving items from them.
My experience is once the parcel's left their warehouse there's no problem. Where the problem lies is the time between placing the order and them sending it out.
I.E. I placed an order Jan. 23, 2011 [Sunday] and they shipped it Feb. 02, 2011 - Ten days later. A third of a month to get the package out of the warehouse.
And this is usually how it goes when I order from them. Good thing I'm not generally in a rush!
.Dave J
offers the best explanation (-:
Ok, I think I spoke too soon, the mailman came back and knocked on my door. I just received my GIT 4 oz and New Haarlem 3.3 oz. Smells GREAT!!!! I'm a happy camper now... thank you to fragrancenet...
With Fragrancenet and most any online fragrance retailer, patience is the name of the game.
Just when I've given up, my order, the one supposedly shipped on 28 Oct 10, arrives today, on 7 Feb 11!
The perfumes are not packed in a box stuffed with styrofoam pellets (as practised by strawberrynet) but bubble-wrapped in a tightly sealed plastic envelope. As a result, the perfume boxes are dented. Luckily, the bottles are fine.
I'm very relieved to receive this package, of course, but I don't think I will subject myself to this ordeal of waiting and wondering again. Internet shopping is supposed to be fun, goddamnit...
I hope everyone out there who is still waiting will get their packages soon!
I've placed an Order on Oct. 29 and to this day the package hasn't arrived yet. At least i got a refund

|2.01 m (6 ft 7 in)
|145 kg (320 lb)
|Shot put
Medal record
|Updated on 15 August 2012.
Andrei Anatolyevich Mikhnevich (Belarusian: Андрэй Міхневіч, Andrej Michnievič, Russian: Андрей Анатольевич Михневич; born 12 July 1976 in Babruysk) is a Belarusian shot putter with a personal best of 21.69 metres, set in 2003.
He started competing at global championships in 1999 and attended the 2000 Summer Olympics, but he was banned for a doping offence in 2001. He returned after a two year suspension and promptly became the shot put world champion at the 2003 World Championships in Athletics. He took part in the 2004 Athens Olympics and the 2005 World Championships but failed to reach the global podium over this period.
He had a resurgence of form in 2006, taking silver at the IAAF World Indoor Championships as well as silver at the 2006 European Athletics Championships. He won the bronze at the 2007 World Championships and took his first Olympic honour, another bronze medal, at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. He won indoor world silver for a second time at the 2010 IAAF World Indoor Championships and the gold medal at the 2010 European Championships in Barcelona.
He was given a lifetime ban for doping by the Belarus Athletics Federation in 2013, retroactive to 2005. Mikhnevich is appealing the ban to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.[1]
He made his first major championships appearance at the 1999 IAAF World Indoor Championships and he finished eighth overall. He also attended the 1999 World Championships in Athletics that year but did not reach the final. His first Olympics soon followed at the 2000 Sydney Games where he finished ninth in the shot put final.[2]
He received a two-year suspension for a doping offence on 7 August 2001.[2] Only 17 days after his suspension ended he became world champion in Paris with a personal best throw of 21.69 metres. He also won the Universiade the same year. His best performance in the following two years was a fifth place at the 2004 Summer Olympics.
In 2006 he finished second both at the World Indoor Championships in Moscow, with a new personal indoor best throw of 21.37 metres, and the 2006 European Championships with 21.11. He followed this with a bronze medal at the 2007 World Championships.[2]
He finished fifth at the 2008 IAAF World Indoor Championships but rebounded to peak with a 22.00 m personal best in July and taking his first Olympic medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics in the form of a bronze. This medal would later be retracted and awarded to Canadian rival Dylan Armstrong, for doping offences. He sank back down the rankings at the 2009 World Championships, finishing seventh, but he gained his second indoor silver at the 2010 World Indoors a few months later.[2] He set a national indoor record of 21.81 m in Mogilev, Belarus, and continued his good form with a win at the 2010 European Cup Winter Throwing meeting.[3] He followed that victory by winning the 2010 European Championships in Barcelona.[4]
His wife is fellow shot-putter Natallia Mikhnevich, who won a silver medal at the 2008 Olympic Games.

Taylor and Tyler: A look back
|06.25.10 at 12:53 pm ET
With either Tyler Seguin or Taylor Hall set to join the Bruins in tonight's NHL draft, it seems only appropriate to take a look back at what's happened around WEEI.com in the past month with the two stars.
May 27: I spoke with Seguin about what playing in Boston may be like. We discussed his early struggles in the OHL, potentially playing wing, and his intrigue with jumping right into a push for a Cup with the Bruins. I also spoke to his coach, Mike Vellucci, who compared him to Steve Yzerman.
May 28: Peter Chiarelli gave a quote that, if read into as much as it was here, could suggest the Bruins were leaning towards Seguin.
May 28: On the very day that Seguin dominated the NHL combine, we found out why Hall was taking it easy.
May 31: Former NHL tough guy Warren Rychel, who won a Stanley Cup with the Avalanche and brought Hall in as GM of the Windsor Spitfires, called the left wing a "tougher" version of Pavel Bure.
June 1: We asked you who you wanted for the Bruins. Sixty-two percent of you wanted Hall, 24 percent said they'd be happy with either, and 14 percent preferred Seguin.
June 2: We got word that the Bruins were bringing in Hall for a visit. Seguin also met with the Bruins last weekend and the team visited both players' homes.
June 4: Peter Chiarelli said Hall and Seguin are so close that trading a large package to secure their preferred player might not be worth it. He emphasized this point several times with the media over the last month.
June 16: Chiarelli admitted that he got a very intriguing offer that stood out from the others involving the second overall pick, but rejected it. He stressed that under no circumstances would the pick be moved, saying "We're going to take one of those two forwards."
June 21: Chiarelli said both he and Oilers GM Steve Tambellini were hesitant to show one another their cards.
June 24: Seguin called Boston a "great place, great city."

Bringing back horrific memories of the death run by Santosh Mane two years ago on January 25, 2012, a drunk car driver on Thursday night drove from Talegaon to Chakan, a distance of over 34 km, and mowed down six people of which two pedestrians died on the spot and four others on motorcycles sustained serious injuries.
Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) driver Santosh Mane's reckless driving had killed nine people and injured several others.
Thursday's incident took place between 8.15 pm and 9.30 pm, between Talegaon and Chakan Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) on Pune-Nashik highway.
Chakan police have identified the driver as Rahul Dumbre (24), a resident of Rajgurunagar.
On Thursday evening, after partying, Rahul left for Nashik at 8.45 pm. When he approached Talegaon Chowk he knocked down a pedestrian who was crossing the road. He then drove for 34 km and his car hit two motorcyclists and a pedestrian near Chakan MIDC at 9.30 pm.
Rahul's car stopped after it got stuck in a pothole. He then went on foot to a nearby hotel from where Chakan police took him into custody.
Senior police inspector of Chakan, Sushil Kadam said, "When we reached the spot we saw Rahul sitting at a nearby hotel. He was unable to stand on his feet. We took him to a nearby hospital where it was confirmed that he had been driving under the influence of alcohol."
Kadam added, "During interrogation, Rahul accepted that he had knocked down two pedestrians and two motorcycles. Both the pedestrians were declared dead on arrival at hospitals and the other four are undergoing treatment at a private hospital."

Cubs end 12-game losing streak, beat Padres 11-7
"When it's hot and you come here and the wind's blowing, you're going to be rewarded for good swings," Headley said. "When the conditions are like that, you know you have to put up a good amount of runs to be able to win the game."
Carlos Quentin hit an RBI double in his Padres' debut to give San Diego a 1-0 lead and snap their streak of 26 scoreless innings.
Quentin was activated from the 15-day disabled list prior to the game. He had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee in March after being acquired from the Chicago White Sox on Dec. 31.
DeJesus got the Cubs going in the first with a leadoff triple and scoring on Castro's single. Castro stole second and later scored on Bryan LaHair's groundout.
Cubs starter Travis Wood lasted just five innings. He was tagged for a season-high six runs on seven hits, including four home runs.
San Diego starter Jeff Suppan yielded six runs over five innings.
NOTES: Cabrera's solo shot in the fourth was his first homer since July 11, 2010. ... The Padres optioned OF Blake Tekotte to Triple-A Tucson to make room on the roster for Quentin. ... San Diego OF Cameron Maybin (sprained right wrist) missed his second straight game after leaving in the sixth inning Saturday. He remains day-to-day. ... Padres RHP Huston Street (right shoulder strain) felt "really good" after throwing off a mound Sunday, Black said. He is scheduled to throw another bullpen on Wednesday. ... The Cubs activated RHP Carlos Marmol from the 15-day DL and optioned RHP Rafael Dolis to Triple-A Iowa. ... Jeff Samardzija (4-3, 3.00 ERA) will pitch for the Cubs on Tuesday against San Diego's Eric Stults (1-0, 1.96).

Thought out Magento export process for your convenience

Due to this Magento order export tool you can easily export invoice, shipment, product & credit memo info and order-related output of third-party extensions.
new!Automatic order export process
Just create an export profile (or several of them) and configure a cron job to launch the profile url according to your preferred schedule and conditions.
It is possible to export only newly created orders
You have an ability to configure export profiles so that only newly created orders are added to the export output. For example, you've exported orders from 10000001 to 10000021 with the first export. The module will start the next export with order 10000022. Feel free to use this feature for both manual and automatic export. Therefore, due to this Magento simple order export tool you can adjust the whole export process to your specific needs.
Send exported from Magento files by email
This option saves you time by automatically sending export files by email according to the specified schedule, e.g. once per day.
Save export files to a server
You can save export files to the local server and/or upload it via ftp to any other server.
Change order status for exported orders
For example, set the status of orders to change automatically from processing to complete after the orders have been exported.
new!Export orders of an individual customer group
You can indicate orders of which customer group to export, when creating an export profile. For example, this can be useful if you provide some customer group with discounts and want to check if it's profitable.
Optimized for performance

Handy ways to export orders from your Magento
Export orders for a certain period or starting from a specific order number
For example, export orders that occured in May or starting from order number 1110.

Export orders with selected status
You can export orders with products having all possible statuses at once or run separate exports for each order status. Or export orders only with certain statuses, e.g. processing and complete. It is possible to export orders of several statuses in one profile.
new!Skip items with zero price
This option can be used to avoid duplicate entries when exporting orders of configurable products.
Enjoy fast and easy Magento xml export as well as CSV export
The extension supports common export formats, so export files are easy to view and use for further processing.

This extension did everything we wanted it to do, and MORE.
Made my life so much easier.

But they respond very quickly and fixed my issue within 24 hours! I am very impressed with their products and services, this is my third extension purchase from Amasty.

12/6/2010 – Lisa Fabrizio –
The conclusion of Thanksgiving, originally a day of solemn acknowledgement that all that we have that is good is a gift from God, brings us to the celebration of the greatest gift from our Creator: the incarnation of our Savior, Jesus Christ. And just as many have seen fit to ignore the giving of thanks to God on Thanksgiving Day, so too have countless others deigned to divorce the birth of Christ from Christmas.
The reasons for this disturbing disconnect vary, but the main one seems to be that the worship of the deity recognized by the great majority of those in this country might be the cause of offense for a few; God himself excepted of course. And so in a few weeks we will commence the season of attempts at discrediting Christianity and its founder while distancing Christmas from any connection with him.
One of the most common ploys will be to claim that the date itself is nothing more than a pagan observance. Most scholars have agreed that the date of December 25 derived from pagan Rome's celebration of the Natalis Invicti; birth of the deity, Mithra, the Sun God. But this should not, as has become fashionable, justify the notion that Christianity is an offshoot of paganism, even though Scripture is filled with literary allusions to the Sun of God.

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|14 nights
Experience the luxury of living in a true Georgian mansion during your stay in Dublin. Located in Old Connaught halfway between Bray and Shankill these recently converted apartments which combine all the comfort of modern living with the grace of a country demense. Entrance through the original hallway with oak staircase. Located on eight acres of mature, tended gardens and only 7 apartments in this section of the house. The apartment has 8 foot sash windows, 12 ft ceilings and stunning views of Irish Sea, Bray head and countryside while being only minutes to M50, Luas Green line, Dart and many bus routes. With large sitting /dining/kitchen area, master bedroom with super king(6ft) bed, Twin room with 3ft bed and guest bed, and fold down bed in sitting room. Spacious entrance hall and family bathroom. Kitchen is fitted with all mod cons. Gives flexibility for family, couples or friends travelling together. Exceptionally quiet with stunning views from every room, come enjoy all Dublin, Wicklow have to offer.
Old Connaught House is located on one of the quiet back roads of Little Bray. The apartment is on the second floor with an elevator providing easy access for those times you are toting luggage, etc. It offers magnificent views of Bray Head beyond the well manicured grounds. The apartment itself is spacious and has all the amenities of home. There is a local supermarket (SuperValue) nearby. Bray is within walking distance and there is easy access to public transportation. For those driving, the M-50 and N11 are moments away. This was a terrific location for either exploring Dublin City or heading south to visit Wicklow and Wexford. Sarah and Anne could not have been more helpful in making sure this was wonderful stay. Hope to see you again soon!
Old Connaught house was a real treat! On arrival we thought we landed in a Georgian movie. The house even looked better than the pictures on the website! And what a calm and serene area, being so close to lively Bray. The apartment was great and has everything you could wish for. Nice big beds, great kitchen. The tennis court was a big added bonus, especially for the girls (12 and 10), who wanted to play tennis every day. (tennis rackets available from owner). The views are great. Looking over the park, you see the sea and to your right Bays Head.
Bray is ideally located to make some nice trips. We can recommend walking the Wicklow mountains at Glendalough. Great views.
About 10 minutes drive from the apartment, there is a great viewing point, from where you can see over Dublin, the mountains etc. Ask one of the kind neighbours for directions.
We can also recommend, for those who love gardens, to visit the National Botanical gardens in Dublin. We have seen several botanical gardens, but this one is the best so far.
Also don't forget to go to Great Sugar Loaf mountain. The last part is steep and rocky, but worth it. The views are stunning!
Bray itself is nice to stroll through. Very nice to walk along the promenade. Great variety of shops, restaurants and pubs.
Siobhan, thank you very much for being so helpful!
Ciska, Henrie, Megan and Caitlin
We couldn't have found a better place than #21 at"Old Connaught"! It was all that we hoped for! Everything that we needed was there, including a well stocked kitchen with tea,spices etc. And what a view!! We loved everything about the suite and the house.The history and ambience of the house, and proximity to Bray, Wicklow and Glendalough area was a plus, and the wonderf
ul friendly & helpful neighbours really made our holiday in Ireland extra special! We took the Dart & Bus to Dublin and the weather was SUNNY for almost 2 weeks! The king size bed with memory foam was fantastic..we slept like babies! Many thanks to Sioban who was so helpful! It was ALL GOOD! Highly recommended!
Nancy, Eric & Sean
Originally from Bray, we were looking for comfortable accommodation for 5 adults. Old Connaught House fit our requirements to a tee - no pun intended as Old Conna Golf Club is within walking distance!
Clean, safe, convenient, tranquil and reminescent of a bygone era, Old Connaught House is ideally located for sightseeing and helped restore our equilibrium from our fast pace here in Silicon Valley.
Siobhan is very helpful; the apartment is well stocked with everything you need and it was warm which is a big plus.
My California born and raised future son-in-law still gives it accolades. We certainly made a big impression. Thanks Old Connaught House.
By the way, the neighbours are über friendly.
The Old Connaught House is a beautiful place. We arrived there at night, mid-January, and I just said that if it was the sea at the bottom of the green we could view, then it was a fantastic place, one to live for. Waking up at dawn the next day… it was the sea... and Bray Head in one corner, and the green, and the woods, and Festina Lente – with the peace that emanates from it; and where we went a few times afterwards. The apartment is great, with it's high, high ceilings, very confortable, decorated with very good taste, with all that is needed (but don't forget to ask Siobhan for instructions about the pots).
We had recently adopted our young girl, about eleven months old when we got there. It was the perfect place for us four (daddy, mummy, Joaquim adopted when he was 15 days, then 10 years old, and baby Valentina) to complete our process of being a family, close the doubts and wounds that our baby might still carry, and move definitely as a whole.
Old Connaught House marked and became a landscape that will live inside us.THANK YOU!
We stayed in the lovely apartment in this beautifully located mansion near Killiney and it came up to all our expectations. It is perfect for four people, a little small for five. The kitchen is equipped perfectly and everything is well-kept. The view from all the rooms is stunning. If only we had brought our tennis rackets we could have played tennis on the private court on the grounds.
The area around the mansion is great and provides for every interest, whether walking in the Dublin mountains or along the beach in Killiney or Seapoint. Those who like traditional pubs can visit Johnny Foxes just a few miles from the mansion though the pich and put course opposite the pub is a lot of fun, too. We always come to visit family and like walking along the pier in Dun Laoghaite and over to Sandycove before going for a drink in Avoca's, which recently opened in Monkstown and serves excellent food.
As usual we had a wonderful time in Dublin though our accommodation added some extra flair to our much too short holiday. We are glad to have found this place and would really like to come back regularly.
The area has a country feel while being close to all that Dublin and North Wicklow has to offer. You are only 2 miles to main Dart line, 10 min drive to the LUAS and minutes to M50 motorway or for the more energetic a 20 min walk to Buses.
But you could just stay home and enjoy the views and great atmosphere.

On this week's Reel Web, we cover several online video related news items from the past week including the new YouTube studio space just opened in Los Angeles, updates to VYou's video Q&A platform, and more. We also spend some time addressing a common question that we often receive through our YouTube channel, "Should I join a YouTube network? And if so, which one?"
YouTube Networks: The Pros & Cons of Joining a Partner Network
You may be wondering whether or not you should join a YouTube network. The rapid rise of online video studios and YouTube networks like Machinima, BigFrame, Maker Studios, FullScreen, and a host of others presents new options for creators to consider, but navigating this new world can be a bit overwhelming. There are certainly a lot of YouTube Networks out there to choose from and all of them offer a lot of great perks for signing on as a network partner, but are the benefits worth any drawbacks and downsides?
Ray William Johnson, who recently left Maker Studios (a "YouTube network") and therefore clearly has an opinion, gave his thoughts on the viability of partnering with YouTube networks in an interview post on NewMediaRockStars.com. Ray stated the following:
I don't know everything there is to know about Youtube-based networks, but as far as I do know, there's no good reason to ever sign your Youtube Adsense account over to a 3rd party. Ever. Period. Anything a Youtube-based network wants to do for you, they can accomplish without seizing control of your Adsense account.
If you want production or managerial assistance, then partner with a production entity or manager and pay them a percentage of your expected revenue, but don't sign your Adsense over to them. Furthermore, from a business perspective, there's no long-term business plan in owning a collection of thousands of Youtube Adsense accounts. Again, I say this having somewhat limited knowledge of every single Youtube-based network out there. I know there are dozens of them (networks) at this point, and who knows, maybe some of them are doing great things.
Clearly Ray doesn't see any reason why anyone should ever, under any circumstance, sign over their AdSense account to someone else or to a network of any kind.
That being said, everyone is different and clearly there are benefits to joining these networks as evidenced by the many established YouTube channels that have formed partnerships with YouTube networks. Additionally, many of these networks really can help when it comes to production and marketing resources. Therefore, we recommend separately evaluating the pros and cons of each network to determine on your own if there's a good upside for your specific channel needs and goals. This is a somewhat nacent market and business models will likely evolve. At the very least, keep your eye on the networks to see if they make sense for your efforts.
QUESTION: If you've signed with a YouTube network, has it been worth it? Comment below
For those of you that are unfamiliar with the concept of a YouTube network, here's a good overview post about online video studios and YouTube networks.
What does YouTube have to say about it?
It is entirely up to you whether you would like to join a network. YouTube does not suggest or recommend any particular networks. Before making your decision, you should evaluate the benefits any network promises to provide against the payment the network is seeking from you, and you should thoroughly investigate the network's track record. You may wish to consult legal counsel before entering into any agreement with a network. YouTube has no involvement in these agreements as they are between the network and the channel owner directly.
List of YouTube Networks:
Here's a list of several YouTube Networks that we're aware of. There are many others popping up from time to time so feel free to let us know if there are others that we missed in the comments below.
- Alloy Digital
- Big Frame
- Blip Studios
- Creator Republic
- FullScreen
- Creator X (part of FullScreen and VidStatX)
- Machinima
- Maker Studios
- Social Blade (part of RPM)
- PMC Studios
- Revision3
- TYT Network
YouTube Studio Production Space in Los Angeles
YouTube has set up a new creator space for qualified partners out in LA. They've renovated a 41,000 square foot facility that was once an old airplane hangar, and have turned it into a place with resources for YouTube users. NewMediaRockStars.com toured the facility and you can find photos of the space on their blog. The location in LA provides a lot of training programs and workshops. It's a place where you can get hands-on experience from industry leaders, attend events and network with fellow creators to share idea and collaborate.
At the facility, you'll have access to a variety of resources including: two production stages, a recording studio, three green screen rooms, a motion capture studio, a screening room, collaboration spaces, a back lot, an equipment room with cameras, lights, mics, and grip equipment, and a lot more. The best part is it's all available for free to qualified YouTube partners. If you're in the LA area, you should find out more information if you want to reserve some free time there to work on your own projects.
VYou Added Features
While VYou is not a new service, they have recently implemented new features that could be useful for those of us that are trying to engage our audiences in new ways. Now when you log in you can see your Twitter feed right there. Instead of just tweeting back on normal 140 character text tweet, you can actually respond to their question with a video response. A link will send them to watch your video at VYou.com. If you're not familiar with the service, VYou lets your viewers ask you a lot of questions either by text or video, and then gives you the ability to individually respond to each and every question right there. It's a great way to get a community of people involved answering and asking questions.

Author has written 34 stories for Avatar: Last Airbender, Ergo Proxy, Harry Potter, Teen Titans, iCarly, Portal, My Little Pony, Naruto, Orange Is the New Black, Last of Us, and Beyond: Two Souls.
Updated 11/7/2014
Hey there. As you can see, I've been around FF for a while now. I used to have another profile before this one, in which my user ID number was #723198... Yeah, looking at the numbers now, that's a couple of years back. That profile is now completely inactive because my stupid self had decided to open up a new email account and delete the one that was attached to the profile - meaning, I could access my FF profile, but not my email that would show me any alerts. I had deleted that email because that was when I was a silly kid, and subscribed to just about everything on the planet.
Anyways, I've just taken all the stories down from that profile and plan on putting them up here. They'll be labeled with the year that I originally wrote them in within the first chapter. Just as a warning, though - they do have a much lower quality than most of the recent stuff you've probably read of mine, and could use some good editing. I'm mildly embarrassed of some of them, but then I also would like to keep them up to show everyone how much I have grown, both as a writer and as a person.
I am editing "The Noble Truth" for grammar, structure, and minor content. It's one fic that I would really enjoy finishing, so keep an eye out. I'll be sending PMs to the regular readers about this.
It's been a while since I've been on FF (last update was from 2 years ago), so forgive me, I am rusty. I think I will keep returning to post a story here and there, but nowhere near as often as I used to. I'm definitely working more on original content now. Keep an eye out, or attach an alert to your email. Thanks :)
Mood: Content. Eager. Tired.

Russian state TV, Rossiya-1, has been warning viewers of the moral decadence of the West by airing news footage that shows an American father indoctrinating his child into homosexuality by covering the kid's bedroom wall with gay pornography. However, the footage is obviously fake. It originally came from a sports paraphernalia company, Fathead, and showed a father surprising his son by decorating his wall with a massive photo of a monster truck. The footage was then altered by 4chan users to replace the monster truck with gay pornography. It seems clear that this is not a case of satire mistaken as news. It's a case of willful misrepresentation of satire for the sake of propaganda. [vox.com]
Determined to maintain a relationship with Liam Griffiths, with whom she had a one-night stand, Charmaine Wilson presented him with a child, telling him it was his. A birth certificate and DNA test seemed to back up her claim. So Griffiths did what he thought was the right thing and took responsibility for the child, only to find out six months later that it was all an elaborate deception. Wilson had "borrowed" the child from a friend and used her position at a hospital to forge the birth certificate and DNA test results. Wilson, who said it was "a lie that snowballed out of control," was sentenced to serve 16 weeks in jail, but was released after 23 days on condition that she take a "thinking skills" class to help her realize the effect her actions had on Griffiths and his family.

In his 1930s newspaper column, John Harvey Furbay (aka The Debunker) wrote that it was a myth that all dogs can bark. But was he correct?
A video has gone viral that shows a bear chasing a cyclist through a forest. The video seems realistic when you first view it. But if you slow it down and watch it frame by frame, it starts to look a lot less convincing. more…
"Historians point out that there is a great deal of difference between pilgrim and puritan, which many people use interchangeably, supposing them to be the same thing. The Puritans were a religious order that arose in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. They were the strictest among the Church of England. The Pilgrims split off from this sect and refused to follow the Church of England -- thus they were no longer puritans. In fact, they were not as strict as the old puritans, but were quite liberal in comparison with them."
BBC News tells the story (briefly, but with good pictures) of this famous kidnapping hoax from the 1920s. Note that McPherson claimed she was drugged with a chloroform-soaked rag and then abducted. This alone suggests her story was bogus since, as Wikipedia notes, the chloroform-soaked rag as an incapacitating agent is a cliche of crime fiction. The reality is that it's very difficult to drug someone in this way with chloroform.
It says here that in a recently aired BBC documentary, The Real Tom Thumb, historian John Gannon argues that Tom Thumb's baby may not have been a hoax, even though Tom Thumb's wife Lavinia confessed it was a hoax in her autobiography.
The tale of the chloroformed turkey usually involves two women living in the city who decide to get a fresh turkey for Thanksgiving or Christmas. But after the turkey has been delivered to their door, they realize they need to kill it. Unwilling to tell the local butcher that they're too squeamish to cut off its head themselves, they search for a "humane" way of ending the bird's life, and come up with the idea of using chloroform. more…

Residents of Polk City, Iowa noticed that a tree standing beside a busy intersection (3rd St and Bridge Rd) had on its side a six-foot tall mark that looks like the Virgin Mary. However, some people think the marks looks more like Jesus. Once it had been noticed (and the mark had likely been there for years unnoticed), people began leaving flowers at the base of it. [kcci.com]
Ernesto Hernandez of Pennsylvania was about to eat his dinner, prepared by his wife, when he noticed that one of the pieces of breaded chicken on his plate seemed to have an image of Jesus on it. Although professing not to be very religious, he did tell the local TV news (WNEP in Scranton, PA) that seeing Christ's face on his plate "kind of took me back a minute." He also felt that it was some kind of sign. He put the piece of Jesus chicken in the refrigerator where, by the next day, it had shrunk in size.
Word is that a new film about P.T. Barnum is in the works. It'll be a musical, titled "The Greatest Showman on Earth," starring Hugh Jackman as Barnum. Kathy Maher, curator of the P.T. Barnum Museum in Bridgeport, told the Hartford Courant that the film company contacted her four years ago when the project first started, but she hasn't heard anything from them since. She adds, "they said they would be on touch as soon as the project got on the grid... Hopefully they'll get the story right and not go for the mythology." Hmmm. What are the odds of that happening?
In the summer of 1925, the carcass of a large ocean creature washed up onto Moore's Beach in the California town of Santa Cruz. The creature had a strange duck-like head and what looked like a long neck. Interest in the carcass grew when it was examined on the beach by one E.L. Wallace, who described himself as the president of the Natural History Society of British Columbia, and he declared that it was the remains of a plesiosaur — a species long extinct. more…
Artist Jonty Hurwitz has created "nano sculptures" so small that they can't be seen with the eye. You need a scanning electron microscope to view them. So how do you know the sculptures really exist and that he's not just showing you an image on a screen? You don't. That's why he's titled his works "Trust." In that sense, it's kinda like the old Brazilian Invisible Fish gag. [mnn.com]
A pair of videos that seemed to show a giant "human sized eel" in New Zealand's Manawatu River went viral in the past week. It caught the attention of a viral video show, Right This Minute, who contacted the two young men (brothers Tim and Ray Hamilton) who filmed the footage and asked them for the right to air it on TV. At which point, Tim and Ray confessed that the footage was fake. They had filmed the eel in a bathtub and then composited that footage with shots of the river and Ray throwing bread at the imaginary eel.

Police describe Holmes as relaxed, detached
CENTENNIAL, Colo. Police officers who arrested James Holmes after the Colorado movie theater massacre described the suspected gunman as unusually relaxed but fidgety at times.
They also said at a preliminary hearing Monday that Holmes was clad in body armor, seemed detached and volunteered that his apartment had been booby trapped.
Prosecutors are laying out their case against the former neuroscience graduate student at the hearing.
Investigators say Holmes tossed two gas canisters and then opened fire during the midnight showing of the Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises" on July 20, killing 12 people and wounding dozens.
The hearing is expected to last all week and will allow the judge to determine whether the prosecution's case is strong enough to warrant a trial.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
Nearly six months after the Colorado movie theater massacre, prosecutors began laying out their case Monday against the former neuroscience graduate student accused in the rampage.
Investigators say James Holmes wore body armor and a gas mask when he tossed two gas canisters and then opened fire during the midnight showing of the Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises," killing 12 people and wounding dozens.
Whatever details emerge at the preliminary hearing, they will do so in a nation that has changed dramatically since the July 20 attack that pushed the problems of gun violence and mental illness into the forefront before receding.
That debate reignited last month when a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, Conn., spawning calls for better psychiatric care, tougher gun laws and the arming of teachers.
The preliminary hearing, which is expected to last all week, will allow the judge to determine whether the prosecution's case is strong enough to warrant a trial, but legal analysts say it's rare for a judge not to order a trial if a case gets this far.
Holmes is charged with more than 160 counts, including murder and attempted murder.
Legal analysts say that evidence appears to be so strong that Holmes may well accept a plea agreement before trial.
In such cases, the preliminary hearing can set the stage for a deal by letting each side assess the other's strengths and weaknesses, said Laurie Levenson, a former federal prosecutor and now a professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles.
They "are often the first step to resolving the case, a mini-trial so both sides can see the writing on the wall," she said.
In general, plea agreements help prosecutors avoid costly trials, give the accused a lesser sentence like life in prison rather than the death penalty, and spare the victims and their families from the trauma of going through a lengthy trial.
At this stage, prosecutors must only meet a "probable cause" standard - much lower than the "beyond a reasonable doubt" standard for a guilty verdict, said Mimi Wesson, a professor of law at the University of Colorado Law School.

The theory here is that one might have to get underway at any time if there's a change of circumstances or an emergency.
I don't know the law or have any first hand experience with precedent in this area...but if cited for BUI when at anchor I would get a lawyer and fight the charges.
It doesn't pass the commons sense test to me that one can be cited for BUI while anchored when - while anchored - one could have easily taken the dinghy to the beach and not been on board when the LEO arrived at the boat and - I guess - not be cited for BUI.
It also doesn't pass the common sense test to be cited for BUI while anchored but not be cited when alongside in a marina...or tied to a mooring ball. Could I be cited for being drunk in the cockpit while tied in my slip but perhaps not be in violation if I am standing on the finger pier next to the boat?
I have never seen LEOs surround the holiday weekend raft ups with citation pad in hand although surely they know - like the rest of living and breathing society - that the majority of the of-age crews are likely a bit deep into their cups.
nola: Re CG "takes the position" - by what authority? CG can't simply take a position independent of law or regulation. What regulation is cited in taking the position that a master of a commercial vessel must exercise sobriety at all times?
What if the ship is in dry dock? Steam powered and in cold iron conditions? Not ready for sea due to crew leave? Is at anchor but has a system fault that prevents getting underway safely?
When I consider all the irrational actions by persons of authority in schools and LE agencies that have been highlighted in the media in the past couple of years I shouldn't be surprised that the CG and marine police have gone off the deep end regarding BUI.
All it takes is a Little Napoleon or Mayor Bloomberg ego on the LE vessel to make a wonderful day on the water become frustrating.
