Women's Business; Exhibit Showcases Achievements
Byline: Gabriella Boston, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
We're used to hearing about our Founding Fathers and businessmen who helped make this country what it is today. The National Museum of Women in the Arts, with its "Enterprising Women: 250 years of American Business," reminds us that women, too, were and are involved in that enterprise.
Mary Katherine Goddard (1738-1816), for example, was a newspaper publisher, the postmistress of Baltimore and, last but not least, printed the first copy of the Declaration of Independence with the typeset names of the signers.
Martha J. Coston (1826?-1902?), an inventor and entrepreneur, patented a pyrotechnic night signal, a type of maritime communication tool that helped give the Union's naval power the edge over the South in the Civil War.
Both women are among 40 of America's most successful businesswomen featured in the exhibit, which will run through Feb. 29. Besides short biographies of the women, the exhibit includes plenty of artifacts, such as a model printing press; old products for beauty and hair care, including a small gas lamp used to heat curling irons; model airplanes; old-timey brassieres; and even Barbie dolls.
"The main purpose of this exhibit, I think, is to write a new chapter in American history that integrates women into the mainstream history of our business and economy," says Harriet McNamee, curator of education at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
Many of the female entrepreneurs featured in the exhibit were involved in traditionally feminine businesses, such as developing products for skin and hair care, cosmetics, fashion.
Among them are Madam C.J. Walker (1867-1919), also known as an early civil rights activist; Elizabeth Arden (1878?-1966); and Ida Rosenthal, founder of Maidenform Brassiere Co.
Older teenagers and adults may enjoy the racy - at least for the 1950s and '60s, when they appeared - posters of bras. One, portraying a cowgirl with a drawn gun, dressed in a bra and little else, sports the text: "I dreamed I was WANTED in my Maidenform bra."
Other female entrepreneurs in not-so-feminine business ventures were Wall Street financier Hetty Green (1834-1916), who was the richest woman in the world in the late 19th century, and aircraft manufacturer Olive Ann Beech, who took over as president of Beech Aircraft after her husband's death in 1950. Mrs. Beech championed the company's diversification into aerospace technology, and in 1980 she directed the merger with Raytheon.
The informational texts on each woman contain many inspirational messages and words of wisdom. Mrs. Beech, for example, is to have said, "Being a woman isn't a handicap. ... Ability is the measure of an executive - not gender."
Among more recent names and inventions featured is the Barbie doll, introduced in 1959, and its creator, Ruth Handler (1916-2002). A case shows several varieties of Barbies, including Air Force Barbie; black Barbie, introduced in 1966; and WNBA Barbie, introduced in 1998.
The exhibit also showcases modern-day female entrepreneurs, including multimedia mogul Oprah Winfrey and EBay president Meg Whitman.
The exhibit is targeted toward middle and high school students, but Ms. McNamee says it can be rewarding for younger children, too.
"We hope they can tie these women into their history lessons, whether they're studying the Colonial times or civil rights," Ms. …

Gazette October 9, 2013 - Vol46 No4
Affinity events celebrate alumni By Sharon King folk band The Dardanelles. "There's an old saying in University alumni Newfoundland and Labrador — there are no strangers, only people you haven't met yet. That rings especially true for Memorial University alumni and friends," noted Dr. Kachanoski. Memorial Affinity Kachanoski and said University in hosts several celebrations Calgary faction groups, and of London, England. Memorial's success is based on every society — individuals, organizations and Memorial and friends gathered at the Arcadian your next project update By Amy Tucker Special to the Gazette Yaffle.ca is Memorial's online connecting tool. One of its most significant jobs is to provide a way for people from outside Memorial to ask for research help. With hundreds of community-suggested opportunities to choose from, your next project is just a click away. Here's one . . . Loft in downtown Toronto recently to celebrate all things Memorial at the annual Toronto Affinity Newfoundland celebration. President old Affinity celebrations help connect classmates colleagues, while raising funds for student scholarships. "We are an engaged university," he said. "Each gathering offers an opportunity for alumni and friends to meet and share the culture and camaraderie of our province. Affinity celebrations also have an immense impact on Memorial's students as all net proceeds go to student scholarships. These scholarships now support 33 students annually and they continue to grow." Guests enjoyed a Newfoundland and Labrador-themed menu and an energetic toe-tapping performance by the highly acclaimed Newfoundland and Labrador government — working together. The next Affinity celebration will be held in Halifax, N.S., on Thursday, Nov. 14, followed by Ottawa, Ont., on Thursday, Nov. 21. For more information and tickets, go to www. munalum.ca . locations across Canada and beyond, including Halifax, Ottawa, Toronto, The opportunity: Located on the doorstep of Memorial's St. John's campus, the Elaine Dobbin Centre for Autism is the provincial headquarters of the Autism Society of Newfoundland and Labrador. It provides social, educational and employment opportunities for individuals living with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). "The centre has been proactive in taking a social enterprise approach to daily operations," said Greg Knott, the society's manager of revenue development. "As a charitable organization, revenue development is key to providing consistent programs and services." One of those social enterprise programs is the Aliant Pioneers Greenhouse, located on the grounds of the centre. It produces a variety of plants, including flowers, herbs, peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers. The plants and vegetables are then sold to the public in pots and also used in the Pantry Café — a full service restaurant run by the centre. "The greenhouse is powered through the use of propane gas, and due to the high cost of gas, is not operated during the colder months of the year," Mr. Knott explained. "The centre would like to be open year round and not have to rely on propane. This increased growing season would provide savings and increased revenue generation. It would also allow us to keep more people hired on throughout the year and work with more clients with ASD, providing valuable social, educational and employment skills." David Artemiw photo Toronto Affinity celebration attendees. GAZETTE A M E M O R I A L U N I V E R S I T Y O F N E W F O U N D L A N D P U B L I C AT I O N Editor Graphics Mandy Cook Molly Baker Regular Contributors The project: The Autism Society is looking for someone to help determine the most economical means to power the approximately 20' x 30' greenhouse to extend the growing season throughout the whole year. "We are looking for research on alternative forms of energy that we can use in the facility and decrease the cost of heat. This could include solar, wind, hydro, or compost energy, or any other form," said Mr. Knott. The centre is located next to a river, and is also looking to embark on a composting program. Both could open up alternative energy possibilities. An alternative, economic energy source would enable the Autism Society to grow and provide a supply of plants all year long, resulting in increased produce sales, and an increased supply of local, i.e., cost efficient, would expand their capacity for providing employment and client services for people with ASD.

New Auditor at Work
By KWGS News
Tulsa, OK – Tulsa's new auditor is on the job.
Clift Richards was sworn in at one this afternoon, by Tulsa County Presiding District Judge Tom Thornburgh.
He was appointed to the position by Mayor Bartlett and confirmed by the city council after Auditor Preston Doerflinger resigned to join Governor Fallin's staff.

While the authorities claim that the Metro railway will be a boon to the city, Andheri (East) residents are not so sure.
The staircases and escalators of the Metro station on the Andheri–Chakala Road have encroached on the footpaths, thus forcing pedestrians to walk on the roads dodging the heavy traffic. "With hardly any space on footpaths, we are forced to walk on the road and risk our lives. We will approach the Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (MMRDA) officials to come up with a solution," said civic activist Rajesh Pandya.
James John, member of AGNI and an activist from the area, said: "There are spots where the Metro station is right outside a housing society's compound. I have stated the problems in my letter to the chief minister," said James.
James said the issue was not only restricted to walkways but the work has resulted in broken drains, damaged drinking water pipelines and craters on the roads. "It clearly shows lack of application of mind when planning such a big project. When we approach authorities they pass the buck by blaming other agencies," he added.
Residents raised other concerns such as the criss-crossing traffic alignment near Holy Family Church, no signals on junctions, and frequent damage to water pipelines and sewerage lines caused by the Metro work.
The water pipeline near Mehta Industrial Centre has been damaged for several months now. While a team from the civic water department do carry out minor repairs, there is no permanent solution to the damaged pipeline. "Every day, when the supply hour begins at at 8pm, water flows out on the road, flooding it. Though we have made several complaints, no no one has taken any action," said Pandya.
Mumbai Metro One Project Limited spokesperson said: "The designs and planning were done by the MMRDA, we are only the executing agency. Executing designs in the limited space was a huge task. We had no option but to bring the landing stairs from the station on the footpath."

To the editor:It amazes me that we can be sitting here having a discussion on whether or not to bail out the U.S. auto industry. There are actually people in this country who are prepared to see them fail, and some who say it may even be good for our country. Just where do these people come from? How can we possibly be prepared to call ourselves the most powerful nation on earth, when we may soon not even be able to build the cars that we drive. Is there no pride left in "American Made?" Oh, forgive me. Those same experts who say that we should let these companies fail also point out that Japanese and German, and soon South Korean, cars are Made In America. So what? The profits from these companies head OUTSIDE this country. Is it such a crime for profits made off American consumers be kept in America to be spent by Americans, union or otherwise. A little history lesson is in order here. America was once a colony of England. This means that we exported raw materials, and imported nearly all of our finished goods. Our fight for independence was partly attributed to the fact that we wished to be masters of our own destiny. What resulted? Over 200 years of American innovations that have transformed the entire world. OUR industry did that! The wars of the 20th century: World War I, World War II, and the Cold War. It was OUR industry that won them! And the auto industry had a key part in all of this. When World War II broke upon us, our nation didn't have to build factories to produce the planes and tanks we needed to win the war, our auto industry was transformed almost overnight to this capacity. When the next war comes, and if our industry is defunct, do you think the Germans and Japanese will just let us use their factories for our national emergencies? I doubt it, especially should they once again become our enemies. We NEED our auto industry. It is a symbol of our pride. We have lost everything from Budweiser to Church's Chicken to other nations, let's not add Ford and GM to that list. Bill Mauldin Jackson

The Samsung Series 7 isn't the fastest, or the most fully featured midrange all-in-one, but casual PC users should consider it for its affordability and overall polish.
Budget desktops might not be all that exciting, but the Gateway SX2870-UR10P slim tower shows you can still find a worthwhile day-to-day PC for under $500.
Sony promises some cutting edge media features on its new Vaio L-Series, but it's tough to recommend when not all of them deliver.
Although the 2011 BMW 1 Series M Coupe doesn't come up to the performance standards of BMW's other M cars, it still offers lots of power and handles very well. A comfortable ride and cabin tech options make it a solid daily driver.
Attempting to create a premium-priced version of a Netbook, Sony has added an HD display to the Vaio W. It's an attractive step-up package, but the internal components are the same as are in cheaper models.
The Bose 3-2-1 Series II DVD system does a surprisingly good surround-sound imitation with just two satellites, but it's overpriced.

Art House & International and Horror movie directed by David Cronenberg< read all 2 reviews
The film is set in and on an exclusive & elite island compound in Canada. The compound has everything one would ever need. A grocery, a drugstore, tennis courts, olympic sized swimming pool, doctor's & dentist offices, room service. The compound includes everything that your little heart desires, plus an extra surprise of parasites roaming in air vents, plumbing, & elevators that resemble a strange cross between a giant,slimy garden slug, a small phallic symbol and a smokey-link breakfast sausage.
This is definitely a catastrophic/end of the world type movie because as the film and the parasites progress to all the inhabitants of the island, there really is only one conclusion...
Of course, I won't give away the ending, but for anyone who enjoys films like Night Of The Living Dead, Outbreak, Dawn Of The Dead, 28 Days, or genre films that feature zombies/animals/mutants/disease taking over the entire world, you will enjoy this movie. Happy Watching!

... that is worthy of her love for the next twenty-nine years of our marriage. (That will make me ninety-six; I may need a little slack from then on in.)
A highlight of the ceremony was an interruption by two golfers who were obviously Pekanbaru residents, who rarely play Rumbai Golf Club and don't know that Chandini and I own the course. They were a little annoyed with this disruption of their game and chose to make their feelings known. One of the chaps shouted a ...

U.S. Rep. Heath Shuler, D-Waynesville, and Republican challenger Jeff Miller participated in a two-hour debate Wednesday on Matt Mittan's "Take a Stand!" program on WWNC 570 AM. The two candidates answered questions about the economy, their campaigns and health care, among other topics. / Erin firstname.lastname@example.com
ASHEVILLE — The nice guys got a little nasty Wednesday.
In a sometimes testy exchange, congressional candidates Heath Shuler and Jeff Miller clearly outlined their differences during a two-hour debate Wednesday afternoon on a local radio station. But they also testily sparred with each other on several occasions about the tone of the campaign.
Also, Shuler detailed his desire to become speaker of the house, a position currently held by Nancy Pelosi. Shuler, D-Waynesville, is seeking his third term, while Miller, a Hendersonville Republican, is seeking his first political office.
Early on, Shuler said, If there is no viable alternative (to Pelosi), I will be running for speaker of the house.
Near the end of the debate, Miller, who has chastised Shuler in television ads for voting with Pelosi, perceived as one of the more liberal members of house, pressed Shuler for clarification.
You're saying you would not vote for Nancy Pelosi for speaker? Miller said.
If that's the alternative, I will be voting for myself, Shuler said.
If she's there you wouldn't vote for her; you'd vote for yourself? Miller shot back.
I don't know how I can be any clearer, Shuler replied. I can do as good a job as anybody in the U.S. Congress, because I can actually bring people together.
Afterward, Miller said, That's the first time I've heard him be that firm about it.
The two appeared on Matt Mittan's Take a Stand program on WWNC 570 AM from 3-5 p.m. They clearly separated themselves on issues including health care, the so-called cap-and-trade bill and the so-called union card check issue.
But first Mittan got the two men riled up about each other's television ads. Often referred to as nice guys by those who know them well, Shuler and Miller bristled when asked how they felt about the tone of the campaign.
The candidates started off amiably enough, with Miller describing how he and Shuler happened to be on a flight together in March and agreed any campaign between them ought to be issues-driven. Shuler said they personally don't deal with each other as testily as their ads may suggest, but he did say that some of the name calling has been totally out of bounds.
Miller said Shuler's ad suggesting Miller wanted to privatize Social Security or delay benefits for recipients crossed the line, because it completely distorts his position.
I started getting calls from widows of veterans who had passed way asking if I was really going to do that, Miller said. I never said that. I also never said I wanted to take their money and put it in to the stock market.
Shuler interrupted, referring to the original Hendersonville Times-News article that the ad is based on. The exchange that followed was heated:
Shuler: So which was it: did the Hendersonville Times-News just lie about it or misquote you? I mean, it's in black and white.
Miller: It was not a quote.
Shuler: It's in black and white.
Miller: It was not a quote.
Shuler: It was in black and white in the Hendersonville Times-News.
Miller: There's been some things in black and white about you, too, that you said were not true, and I accepted that. You know, as well as I do, that people get things wrong.
The April 16 article stated: (Miller) doesn't want to harm people receiving entitlements now, but believes the age could be increased for Social Security and Medicare and some privatization should take place.
At another point, Shuler rebuked Miller for relying on notes during the debate, suggesting that Miller's campaign staff was helping him out. Miller said it was his own research he relied on.
Mittan eventually steered them to other issues. They clearly diverge on several issues:
Cap-and-trade legislation: Shuler voted in favor of this legislation (which would allow the trading of carbon credits in an effort to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases), which he maintains will create green energy jobs and decrease dependence on foreign oil. Miller says it will be a job killer that will cause utility bills to rise as companies pass costs on to consumers. Formally known as the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009, the bill passed the house in June 2009. It sets forth provisions concerning clean energy, energy efficiency, reducing global warming pollution, transitioning to a clean energy economy, and establishing a cap-and-trade system for greenhouse gas emissions.
Card check: Shuler favored this legislation, which was backed by most Democrats and unions. It would allow a majority of a company's employees to unionize by signing cards, a change from the current practice in which employers require secret ballot elections. Shuler said he voted for it because we should be able to protect the rights of the workers. Miller said business owners worry it could lead to increased costs.
Health care reform: Miller favors repeal of the legislation, which he refers to as a train wreck and says will cause health insurance premiums to rise and hurt small businesses. Shuler, who voted against the bill, says parts of it need to be reformed, but he supports provisions that have gone into effect that will close the so-called Medicare doughnut hole, prevent companies from denying insurance to patients with pre-existing conditions and a provision extending benefits to young adults living at home through age 26.
Shuler said it would be immoral to repeal those measures.
If it's about morality, why didn't you vote for it to begin with? Miller said.
Shuler said he wanted to vote for health care reform issue by issue.
Afterward, both men said they felt good about their performances and their chances in Tuesday's election.

Unfortunately, I was unable to resolve my issues. It might have been my board, I don't know. I ended up taking one of the two cards out and I went back to my G31 value board. I might get myself a 780i board from eVGA (I have some store credit), though I'm quite cautious about it...
Anyway, I tend to notice these stuff a lot, have an eye for detail you might say. I also tend to obsess about stuff that bother me, while other people would not have noticed it at all or just plain not let it bother them.

Full set or hybrid- Hybrid with Gamma Synthetic Gut
Tension used for playtest- 52
Regular string set up- Luxilon ALU Spin/Gamma Synthetic Gut
Racquet brand and model used for test- Babolat AeroPro Drive GT
Power- what I expected. Low, but what I am used to.
Feel- exceptional! Near perfection.
Spin- Average, basically the same as what I'm using.
Comfort- Much better than ALU. Most comfortable Poly I've ever used
Durability- A little longer than my ALU. 6-8 hours
Tension maintenance- Held tension better than ALU. About 3-4 hours longer for me.
Control- Average, similar to ALU.
Compare- I would prefer these over my ALU for comfort, but they really reminded me of each other.
Tension recommendation- I liked the tension I used, mainly because it's what I have been using.
Summary- 1. I liked how it held tension, made me able to play longer with them.
2. I liked how much they reminded me of my ALU. My favorite strings.
3. I disliked nothing really.
Hope this helps, thank you for selecting me for this opportunity.

The device is used to change gear; in a manual transmission vehicle this will normally be done whilst depressing the clutch pedal with the left foot to disengage the engine from the drivetrain and wheels.
In some traditional four-wheel drive "off-road" vehicles there can be a second gear lever which engages a low-ratio gearbox, used on tough terrain.
The gear knob (or shifter knob) is at the end of the gear stick; it forms the handle of the gear stick. Typically the gear knob includes a diagram of the shift pattern of the gear selection system; i.e. the positions to which the gear stick should be moved when selecting a gear.
A typical manual transmission vehicle, with five forward gears, will have seven possible positions: the five forwards gears, reverse gear, and a central "neutral" position. Some vehicles have a special button to prevent accidental engagement of reverse. Others require that the lever be lifted, pressed down, or moved with extra force to engage reverse.
In some rare cases, the gear stick and gear box in general can completely shift, re-aligning where the gears are located. This places 1st gear where 3rd usually is, and 2nd, 3rd and 4th where 4th, 5th and reverse normally are respectively. This leaves no room for 5th gear or reverse, subsequently making the car unable to use these gears at all. Mitsubishi Magna TR's are most known for doing this, and also usually won't go into 3rd gear either.
Many automatic transmission vehicles have extra controls on the gear stick, or very close by, which modify the choices made by the transmission system depending on engine and road speed; for example, "sports" or "economy" modes which will broadly speaking allow, respectively, for higher and lower revolutions per gear, before changing up.
Some specialist vehicles have controls for other functions on the gear stick. The Land Rover Freelander introduced a button for that company's Hill Descent Control system feature, which uses the brakes to simulate the function of a low-ratio gearbox in steep descents.

Las Vegas, Nevada
My Rating
Wow what a way to start the day!! We had a great breakfast, the friendliest people ever and wonderful surroundings to enjoy it all in. Our trail guide was the last of the true cowboys. He was a joy as our trail guide and was full of information about our surroundings and the terrain. We were able to enjoy the animals after our ride, what a great way to spend time in Las Vegas. Some of the best things about Vegas are not on the Strip!! Thanks we home to see you again.

ive been buying a lot of expensive frags lately mostly 120ml bottles of mancera , and creed aventus , tom ford, but still find myself drawn to wanting buy cheapo frags for some reason LOL . like remy latour cigar or versace eros and some other edt's and some fake generic stuff from palermo perfume
anyone else here going through the same thing ? what have you been buying lately ? or drawn to cheapo frags that you want to try out ?
I have done exactly the same
In the last two weeks I have bought Aventus, Oud Alif, M7, 24 Platinum, Mr Blass, Dirty English and Cuba Gold
Pretty much the full price spectrum
Price has nothing to do with quality. There are plenty of fragrances that cost under $80 that are fantastic and plenty of garbage over the $250 mark. Yes, if you really like an expensive or niche fragrance, you may ultimately have to spend the coin to get it, but if you're using price as your guideline for quality then you're a chump.
Alright I'll take that back. I won't say price has NOTHING to do with quality, but it's often not a mark of quality at all.

My tastes vary greatly...I'll go from wearing a city exclusive from Le Labo, something edgy or weird like MFK Velvet Oud to Drakkar Noir and Polo Sport...at the end of the day...it's all just scent and what interests you.
Honestly, if I wear really complex niche fragrances day after day...sometimes it's too hard on the nose and I need to break up the routine with something just plain and simple.
My fragrance purchases have always run the gamut from the most expensive to the extremely inexpensive. Love them all.
Remember that while it is perfectly acceptable to criticize the content of a post - criticizing the poster is not.
Mean spirited, nasty, snide, sarcastic, hateful, and rude individuals on Basenotes don't warrant or deserve other individuals' acknowledgement or respect.
I don't buy cheapies anymore, except for the Demeters, which I love.
A 100ml bottle lasts so long, in my experience, that even the "expensive" stuff is practically free.
Let's face it, this hobby can get extremely expensive if you don't limit yourself. There's very few of us that are in the 1% so most of us probably work hard for our money. Getting a great deal or finding something you really enjoy at a good price is a win win everytime. No buyers remorse what so ever.
Designer, niche... it's all irrelevant to me. All I care about is what I'd enjoy wearing. Some days, it's Royal Oud. Some days, it's Boss Bottled.
Anybody have a sample of Martin Margiela Untitled or Untitled L'Eau? I'm dying to smell these and I've got lots of great niche samples to swap!

As much as I may be drawn to niche and fully admiring their quality, many good fragrances that I like to test, purchase and own still belong to the affordable and (apparently) less elitist category.
Like most people on here, I enjoy the super high-end niche fragrances, but can throw on some Pinaud Clubman and be happy on some days. There's a lot to be said for folks who can make an inexpensive fragrance that smells great, and there's also a lot to be said (of a very different sort) about snobby people who charge $$$$ for crap.
I only buy cheapies for nostalgic purposes but I do appreciate them and their place in history
I've never wasted a second of thought or cent on "niche", which is a laughable concept and term itself, or overpriced designer. I never support any fragrance that costs more than $50 for 2.5oz or greater.
Consider it moronic to do so...

Don't get me wrong... I own plenty of cheapies, and some of them are pretty amazing even before considering how affordable they are, but to say buying anything niche is moronic is the very definition of moronic. There's an entire world of fragrances with a level of richness and complexity that you simply cannot imagine. Interlude Man. Royal Oud. L'Air du Desert Marocain. Sombre Negra. There are no cheapie comparisons. It's not that these are better than cheap scents. It's that cheap comparable scents simply do not exist - or, if they do, they exist in the sense that a Big Mac has meat, so it's comparable to prime rib... but, no. It's understandable if you don't value fragrance enough to spend more than fifty bucks, and there are some excellent choices for less than $50. As I said, it's understandable, yes, but wow. I can't even begin to describe the things you're missing out on. I can't even put those smells into words that someone who only knows cheapies can comprehend. It's like trying to describe Paris France to someone who has never stepped foot outside of Paris Texas.

It's just personal preference based on priorities. Fragrances are my littlest priority and no, I'm not missing out on anything. That's like saying not tasting $200 Japanese beef is missing something, yeah, it's missing a waste of money.

It's not a personal preference based on priorities to insult anyone who enjoys niche by saying they're moronic. That's a statement of ignorance, not preferences. There's nothing wrong with only prioritizing scent enough to spend $50 or less. There is something wrong with assuming anyone who enjoys niche fragrances is moronic.

Not being shot is also missing something. Not serving your country is also missing something. No one had any right or cause to judge what that means to any other. Not open for debate or jubject to opinion. That's all I meant.

I bought some samples of Aventus and GIT and expected to have my mind blown. Not terrible scents by any means, but my mind is still intact. Still, they are scents that really taught me that fragrances can change radically over the life of their application, with most others I've tried being much more linear. I just bought some Cuba red and orange and (while not mind blowing) smell good to me. I agree that the scent is in the nose of the beholder, and for me price is not tied to enjoyment (probably getting a good deal is, though).
I used to live in Japan, and not just Japanese beef, but specifically Kobe beef, hidagyu, and other wagyu are definitely worth a try if you ever have the chance. I still crave it sometimes -- quite amazing and quite unlike any beef (especially that labeled "Kobe beef") that I've had in the US. But honestly, the most I ever paid was about $25 (I bought at the grocer and cooked it at home) and the most expensive I ever had someone else bought me for around $125 for a small plate. It was more the genre of the meat than the price that made it incredible (highly marbled), so I suppose your point about cologne and Japanese beef holds some water -- since you can definitely get some good stuff for under $200!
lol it is pretty funny the last couple of posts .
i want to add yes that niche and frags that do cost from $150 and up are better from my recent discoveries like montale and especially the mancera line . Its all about doing your homework on the niche end as i also agree that some higher end frags arnt worth the price .
like i said all juice is good juice even the cheap ones (sometimes) .
but hey there is many cheap frags that are good , can you imagine if those people making them had the budget's to make better juice ? how many cheap frags do you know of that smell so damn awesome but they dont have that depth about them or the longevity ? most of them have to make cheaper frags because not everyone is rich and a supply has to be made to cater for people in that category .
Its also very stupid to say that the higher priced niche stuff is a waste of money , that kind of thinking is prehistoric . most people want to experience the highest quality that can be offered for the highest amount they can afford , thats why LIFE IS TOO SHORT and its good to indulge in some luxuries , and if your not doing that then your not living life to its fullest potential , but hey if you dont want to do that then you shouldnt force other people to live like you and you shouldnt say its stupid and a waste of money for this or that because its just closed minded prehistoric thinking LOL .
AnyWay keep the comments rolling , This has become a very interesting thread topic for me .

It's all relative to what one considers "worth it." If all people used the same logic and sense in spending money wisely, then a lot of people would be out of business.
The world needs people to over spend on something that really does not need such a high price tag. Likewise, the world needs people who seek bargains. Basically, the way our society is structured, we need different economic classes and different pricing and/or products based on that.
Imagine how sad the Creed family would be if all people thought spending over $50 on scented water was ridiculous. I'd be very interested to know the actual cost of making 2.5 ounces of Aventus fragrance + bottle + box, then the cost of that to the distributor, then the cost of that to the retailer. We obviously know the cost at the consumer level, which is at least 3x the cost to the retailer or perhaps 4x.
Then also think if discounters (online or in store) can sell fragrances at 1/2 the retail cost AND still profit to make a successful business, then how much are consumers really getting "ripped off" at the MSRP, retail level?
"Ripped off" in quotations because, again, maybe saving $50 is pocket change to some, but to others is a whole day's pay. It's all relative. Spend within your means and you won't have regrets.
With all that said, yea, I still like cheapies!

Might be helpful to insert the reminder that all the term "niche" really means is perfume produced by a company that makes perfume as their primary product. (Guerlain, Acqua di Parma are niche brands in this sense, but they have massive, mainstream distribution). Designer fragrances are really just fragrances made as secondary (or tertiary) products by companies who's primary product is designing clothing / fashion (Tom Ford, Comme des Garcons, Naomi Goodsir are all designers with a fragrance line on the side). Excellent niche fragrances can be had for half the price of some designer, and some designer fragrances cost upwards of $500 (Tom Ford). Comme des Garcons, one of the most experimental and boundary pushing houses out there, is a designer line despite feeling niche in every perceived sense of what we think niche should be. In other words, the delineations don't mean anything whatsoever.
Given this, lets not wander into a forum of fragrance fans and call people moronic for buying fragrances from companies that make fragrances rather than buying fragrances from clothing companies that make fragrances on the side.
OP, apologies for the nasty derailing in this thread. Bottom line, is there are some excellent inexpensive fragrances and there are some garbage expensive fragrances out there. So really what it comes down to is personal taste and the ability to discern cheap rubbish from stuff that's actually worth the investment. I've got some super expensive designer scents in my collection (Norma Kamali's Incense, for one, is $1200 a bottle), and I've got some super inexpensive niche fragrances (Lush's perfume line run around $15-$40, and several Lutens / ELdO's can be had for $60 or so). I love both equally but for totally different reasons. Just keep finding what you like, but try to keep in mind that what you see at the fragrance counter or in the department is not representative of what's being developed in the world of perfumery. Those fragrances (mass-produced / commercial products) are commodities largely designed to move units and represent maybe 10% of what's available; the more artistic and expressive side lies elsewhere, and the fun is in the search. So keep researching and sniffing away, and don't let price dictate your tastes!

Baaaaaack on topic, though, there isn't THAT much out there for USD 50 a bottle, or let's say 50c a ml, that's really any good . . . is there?
I picked up a few bottles of Maxim's Pour Homme that were okay a while back but talking about current releases, retail?
Price does not mean "niche" or "good". And Creed and Tom Ford are not "niche", they are just two examples of stupidly expensive scents comparing to quality (especially Tom Ford). Some expensive scents are good, some are superb, some other are overpriced crap. And on the other side, there is plenty of cheap niche good fragrances around. I really see no point in generalizing...
My sales thread | Rare, discontinued & vintage stuff!
My fragrance reviews | Ye Olde Civet Cat
Creed are niche, there sole buisness relies on fragrances... They concentrate on perfumes and there related products only and nothing else...
On the other hand Tom Ford most certainly is not niche, hell make anything for a quick buck, perfume just happens to be another one of the many things that are made under the Tom Ford name.
If I love a composition and it is within my budget I will attempt to acquire it whether it sells for $5 or $500+. While I may not have found any $5 winners yet, plenty of vintage sub $50 gems have been found with many more still waiting to be uncovered. I have found price has little correlation with how much I will enjoy a composition.

Niche: Type of fragrance company that produces in limited quantity and sells in few shops.
Bla bla bla. People who know perfume rarely use the terms designer and niche. The fact that is costs more doesn't mean it contains better ingredients or is in any way worth a sh-t. Good fragrances are rare, especially these days when all the ingredients are banned and every pile of crap is an instant classic.

Exactly. If you like a fragrance you like it and if you dont you dont, anything else is ridiculous, but Tom Fords private Blends may cover all the bases of a niche brand but they are not niche, and no niche company specialising in perfume can pump out the amount of fragrances that they have in less than 10 years lol. And which global manafacturer and distributor makes there scents again?..
It depends what you mean by cheapies, as there are two types.
The first are the Lomani types - made cheap to be sold cheap, but I have no interest in those.
The second are the formally full priced, now heavily discounted ones - and I am always seriously interested in those.
Some six years ago, Lagerfeld Capsules were being sold for $120 a bottles at DJs, but I picked them up for $15 a bottle two years later.
Similarly when DJs sold off all their CSP stock at $20 a bottle, and L'Artisans at $60.
Other cheapies I've picked up are Egoiste, Equipage and Blenheim's Bouquet for between $30 to $35 a bottle at Perfume Connection.
And some ten bottles of Annick Goutal and various Aqua Di Parmas for $20 a bottle at the DNA closing down sale (plus a few PIvers and Etros). And a bunch of Trumpers scents for $10 a bottle at relocation sale.
It was only a few years ago that scents like Azzaro Visit, Decibel, Ed Hardy Man, Ice Men and B*men were going for full price of 90 to $100 at Myers and DJs, but since then they could have been picked up for $19 to $24 at Priceline and other places. Meanwhile, if you fly across to Europe, the ones still on the shelves still have prices that are very high.
In October last year, it was hard to walk into a European department store without a sales lady trying to flog me Guess Seductive Homme at 60 or so Euros. I came back to Australia, and here it is on sale for as low as $32.
So, are these cheapies I have mentioned, really cheapies? One would have to be seriously into an anti-designer scent attitude, to not have some interest in them.
But then again, I did buy Pirates of The Caribbean EDT for $7. I like it.

One example of too many to mention or even think about:
Vintage Halston Z-14 is ten times as good as Italian Cypress (Tom Ford). It's also twenty times less expensive. The Halston is less than $20 for 100mls. The Tom Ford is $210 for 50mls.
The $12 Curve for Men that I bought from Ross the other day smells divine. I only wish it projects better. Yes, I thinks it smells better than $200 Silver Mountain Water, so sue me.
Most classic scents like Antaeus, Egoiste, Fahrenheit, Eau Sauvage and Kouros are much better and more special than 99,99% of niche fragrances.
Don´t forget that many niche fragrances are made by independent perfumers that didn´t get a job in a designer house lol..
Just my advice to the OP: Try to look for fragrances made by master perfumers like JCE, Mr. Sieuzac (My favorite perfumer who made Fahrenheit, Bel Ami and Opium), Pierre Burdion etc.
It's possible to have a great composition at any price range, but a great composition with cheap ingredients still ends up smelling cheap in the end.
Last edited by thebeck; 2nd March 2014 at 02:32 PM.
The most classic scents were/are great because they used high quality ingredients that were not expensive at that time.
There are many perfumers that make impossible things possible such as making a great compostion with ingredients that are not as expensive as that of niche fragrances.
That´s why they are called master perfumers, that Roja Dove doesn´t deserve
High quality ingredients are not important to me. The composition is more important.
Whenever I test Roja Parfum, Xerjoff or whatever expensive wannabe luxury brands, I find the perfume market develops in a wrong way.
I am sure that you also mean compositions by mentioning high quality materials.
If so, then this thing is highly subjective.
High quality ingredients go hand in hand with a good composition - that's what makes a great perfume - the two together.
It's so true many niche perfume houses have wasted a lot of good materials on mediocre and even total shit offerings. I feel the same as you, many of the luxury brands perfume develops in the wrong way. Hell, they should be fined for wasting precious materials.

This thread is so serious! Expensive and niche but still drawn to cheapies ?I am drawn to scents that I like and I tend to gravitate to scents that challenge me and smell different. Honestly price does not matter all that much if I want a particular scent, and if the price is over a certain point I don't really want to cross I put that scent on my wish list and wait for a sale, a deal or a split. There are very few cheapies that tick the same boxes (longevity, creative use of unusual or challenging notes, unique smell, etc.) as say any of my favorite Amouages. There are exceptions of cheapies that I like but at the same time I have a pile of crap whose cost was minimal that I will simply never wear again.
Some Favorites
1. Amouage Epic man
2. Dior Leather Oud
3. Perris Monte Carlo Oud Imperial Black
4. Le Labo Patchouli 24
5. Amouage Opus VII
6. Byredo Bullion
7. Masque Milano Russian Tea
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
So, to answer the question. Yes. This week I wore, Lanvin Avant Guard (20 bucks), Naomi Goodsir Cuir Valours (180 bucks, and out of this world), Bergamatto Marino (40 bucks, but getting harder to find at this price), and Ramon Monegal Ambra di Luna (185 bucks).
I guess the average per ml price of what I wore on those days was about 100 bucks for 75mls, more or less. Lets round up, and say 1.5 dollars a ml. I don't wear more than a half an ml a day, at most, so lets say it costs me about a buck a day for the pleasure of enjoying inexpensive and expensive niche and designer perfumes. Of course, that presumes I don't buy that much more than I need, and that is another story .
I do find that the more I am learning about fragrances, the more I do value a certain projection, longevity and quality of scent that is harder to get in cheaper designers. That said, Rochas Man serves me just fine in all three.
Like any hobby, it is all about the joy I receive from some non-serious time away from life's higher stakes activities.
I have and love Amouages, Creeds, Pinaud Clubman, Brut, Lomani pour Homme, Clive Christian X, Puredistance Black, Tabac, Old Spice....
Its about the smell and experience for me.
ointments and perfume delight the heart....
And, for the record, Tom Ford is a clothes designer with a perfume line . . . that's generally accepted as meaning the perfume falls under the terms 'designer', but whatever.

Same here - brand / price is not a criteria for buying.
"..........Probably the most oft-repeated misconception and misunderstanding on Basenotes and a dichotomy many just can't seem to get away from in the obsessive compulsion to build up niche fragrances at the expense of designer fragrances.

Take for example perfumer Maurice Roucel. He has created cheapies from Rochas and Nautica through higher end Frederic Malle. It's probably safe to say that the ingredients used were of different sources with different pricing and perhaps different quality. But I'd be willing to bet that the difference in raw material is not proportional to the difference in cost. Again, it's going to be the mark-up where the large retail pricing difference is created. And the fact that the cheaper one will sell more quantity so it can afford to have a lower markup multiplier.
Some places selling Nautica for $50-60 are making huge profits. These places have higher overhead costs more than the places that sell the same Nautica stuff for $15 bucks...yet can still profit from even the $15 price. It's interesting how this all works out
The point: buy what smells good, even if it's cheap or even if it's expensive and within your means. You won't be disappointed.

Idk guys....I'm torn on the subject....There are a lot of cheap cars that I have bought in my life that indeed fell apart versus ones that I paid a little more for that lasted forever in terms of quality...is it safe to say that niche is better quality because you pay more? Probably not, BUT the tendency for us fragrance lovers is to believe you are truly paying for what you get....Maybe perhaps more essential oils versus synthetic fluff is the reason niche costs way more...Perhaps the ingredients are sparse and hard to find....Perhaps its a novelty or been discontinued that increases the price of niche or sometimes even designer....I can tell you from my personal experience, I have tried the cheaper fragrances like Eros and was highly disappointed and sold it quickly thereafter so the opposite is so true as well...You can buy cheapies and really be disappointed too in the scent...This has happened numerous times with me....So, I think you're better off smelling the scent without looking at price and deciding if this is something truly you want to have in your wardrobe or not...Price shouldnt be the deciding factor on buying a fragrance whether its cheap or expensive...Price would only matter if finances were somehow in play and for many, it surely is....But to say cheap smells better than expensive or expensive smells better than cheap is so subjective....Who knows....
Don´t forget that many niche fragrances are made by independent perfumers that didn´t get a job in a designer house lol..
The same perfumers working on designers do niche as well. the difference is for the most part, when working for a niche brand they can express their artistic side more. When doing a designer fragrance, more is focused on getting a hit. That's why you'll have a lot of designer fragrances that are similar, they're competing with one another for sales. Niche brands usually have their own lane
I often wonder, once it all hits the same air, can anyone tell wether or not it's designer or niche, cheap or pricey?

Actress Bipasha Basu is back from her vacation in Cyprus. But barely has she settled down here, she's already busy with loads of work that she intends to complete.
Topping her priority list is her fitness DVD. The actor, who released her first fitness DVD two years back, is all geared up to shoot her second DVD. Last week, the actor was spotted with filmmaker Soham Shah and few other friends at a suburban coffee shop. Soham, who is working on Satte Pe Satta remake, is also apparently directing the fitness video.
Says a source, "Bipasha is very serious about her fitness. And after receiving splendid response for her first fitness DVD, she now is working hard on the second one. And ever since she made plans for this one, she has been keen on shooting it with Soham, as he too is very fitness conscious and can very well tap it on camera."
Besides her fitness video, Bipasha is apparently also doing a mujra number in Shootout at Wadala. "Bipasha is going to do a mujra in Shootout at Wadala. As the film is based in 1980s, a mujra number fits in easily.
The number is yet to be shot as the makers are not able to finalise on the track. But since it's just a dance number, it won't take many days of her schedule. Bipasha is also working on Race 2 with her good friend actor Saif Ali Khan again," adds an insider.
Guess post shaking her booty on her own name Bipasha Bipasha, a mujra is what will make her list of item songs complete. Besides, it will also add to the recent trend of retro-based mujra item songs following the success of songs like Anarkali disco chali (Housefull 2) and Dil mera muft ka (Agent Vinod).
When asked about her vacation, Bipasha said, "Cyprus is beautiful. I just enjoyed every bit on the sands and beaches with my friends. It was a much-needed break. Now that I am back and rejuvenated, I'd like to begin work in full force."

People reiterate their opposition to garbage dumping
People of Achayyapeta and some other villages under Sundarayyapeta panchayat near Anakapalle once again made their opposition known to dumping of garbage by the Anakapalle municipality when a team of officials from different government departments visited the village and interacted with them on Tuesday afternoon.
Dumping of garbage by the municipality and villagers' opposition drew a lot of attention when the municipality used force on March 22 and dumped garbage. Twenty villagers were arrested and criminal cases booked against them. They came out on bail later.
Meanwhile, the High Court issued an interim stay on dumping of garbage at the village. Later, the municipality tried to remove medical waste from the garbage.
The team inspected the 22.8-acre site earmarked for dumping garbage, saw the checkdams, the hill streams, adjacent land being cultivated by the villagers on which there are cashew groves.
The team consisted of Environmental Engineer of APCCB Ali Khan; K. Narsimha Naidu of Archaeology Department; Prof. S. Bala Prasad of Department of Civil Engineering of Andhra University; S. Sarathy of Water Supply Department; Ranganayakulu of VUDA; Srijith Govind of INS Dega; M. Raja Rao of Forest Department; Deputy SP of Anakapalle V.S. Murthy; Commissioner of Anakapalle Municipality S. Muralidhara Rao, and tehsildar Panduranaga Reddy.
Later, the villagers and general secretary of the AP Vyavasaya Vrittidarula Union P.S. Ajay Kumar explained to the team that the then tehsildar of Anakapalle gave advanced possession of land to the municipality though the official was not competent to do so in case of such large extent of land as per the Board Standing Order 24.
The tehsildar did not take any steps to send proposal under BOS 24 to the government.
The poor farmers who raised the cashew groves were not given any notice and the D form pattas issued earlier were not cancelled before the site was allotted to the municipality. One patta holder filed an injunction petition against the municipality in the local court.
Villagers explained that the major stream, called Polimeragedda near which the garbage was dumped, feeds two tanks downstream under which there is cultivation, and joins the Sarada.
The proof of government recognising this was the District Water Management Authority constructing check-dams on the stream.
A local farmer Rekha Ramana Murthy told the team that the garbage was allowed to be dumped on March 22 by the Municipal Commissioner without obtaining permission from the local gram panchayat and the AP Pollution Control Board.
Another local farmer Eggada Bhaskara Rao brought to the notice of officials an order issued by a Division Bench of the High Court saying that municipalities cannot dump their garbage outside their municipal limits.
At the end of the visit, the villagers apprehend that local MLA and Minister for Infrastructure Ganta Srinivasa Rao would bring pressure on the team to give permission to the municipality to dump garbage in the village.

This is not to say that LOA always get it right. They don't. The house-music beats they used during the Our Little Secret tour came close to being merely functional. 1999's Expand Your Head was all standard club rhythm, no sex. Perhaps no surprise that it appeared at about the same moment as Praga Khan's failed solo, Twenty First Century Skina venture into glam-boy crooning entirely out of character for such a raw and hooky distortionist. Farstucker returns LOA to their basics. They were the group who changed Belgian techno's outlook from icy darkness to raving bawdy mischief. It's mischief time again, and just to make sure, LOA are touring the U.S.A. once more.
