I absolutely adore this extraordinary, rich, complex, spicy, divine and seductive fragrance perhaps more than any I've ever found. And my husband adores me when I wear it.

I have two bottles of mitsouko: 1. mitsouko extrait, a modern rendition from a 2013 batch, which has gotten decent reviews perhaps due to re-engineered oak moss; 2. mitsouko parfum de toilette, vintage. Both make me very happy, and together, with all of my other bottles of perfumes, the mitsouko I own is a lifetime supply.
The vintage parfum de toilette spray is louder, sharper, more 'retro' (BTW, PdT was engineered to be like that). I prefer to decant it into a dabber glass bottle (in order to do that, I hacked into the bottle) to minimize the 'throw' of spray (spray disperses three times the amount and I am an under applier of scent); after I did that, it also evolved more quickly into the warm spicy dry down. Dabbing also reduces any Guerlain powderiness. If applied by dabber, the PdT is closer to the current extrait on my skin.
A dab of the extrait results in less product, and a quick morph into soft delicious spicy skin scent effect. I have not experienced vintage mitsouko extrait or EdT in vintage or current formulations. Neither of the versions I have tried is musty. I cannot understand how reviewers get musty when they smell mitsouko. Maybe it's skin chemistry.
Finally, although mitsouko is classified as a fruity chypre, it's not fruity translucent the way I think vintage diorella, vintage rochas femme, or vintage patou colony is. Nor is it classic mossy chypre - which I think could be interpreted as musty - to me. (Rather, I think of it as spicy, golden sweet (but not sugary sweet or caramel sweet) burst of fragrance that is somehow classic and also incidentally unisex. Mitsouko, particularly the PdT, is also salty IMO. Although it's famously peach, it reminds me of Chinese salted plum candy. This is a very different treatment of fruit than the modern honeyed fruit treatment in Serge Lutens et al. Totally different universe. And, the saltiness is somehow redolent of iodine, with an almost metallic edge. Am trying to recall if Mitsouko has a Mousse de Sax or Mousse de Chene base, but I don't know.
EL vintage spellbound extrait, released in 1991, squat squared crystal dabber bottle with stopper and liquid that is golden to dark amber (not light green) has similar rounded carnation spiciness without the peach or the guerlain dry down, or the salt.

Queen of Chypres
There isn't much more to add to what has been said. We know it's significance. It has it's place in history of perfume, it's been called the best of all time etc.
It's oakmoss and peach and rose and many other things, it's like a secluded garden in a forest full of flowers, with the smell of rain still in the air. Jacques Guerlain wanted to evoke with this "the smell of a womans skin". I understand what he was trying to do.
I also don't see how anyone would not like this. It's floral, fruity, but so deep and earthly and rich and very hard to describe. I find it very unique. A wonderful mossy, beautiful fragrance, and a wonderful experience to smell. I really think everyone should try this. I don't think "old lady" or other labels. It really doesn't smell like much else and it was the inspiration (like Jicky and Shalimar), for not just many other classics, but also much of what we have today in the world of perfume.
I think this should be preserved forever as something really special. It has no gender, time or place. It should stand as something for all and everyone, and for all time. Real art in a bottle. Wonderful stuff!

I kept thinking about this fragrance as it is so well reviewed and described on mua and one weekend I finally saw it at a large department store. I sprayed the little card with it and some managed to get on my little finger. I smelled it and then the card and put the card in my bag. Wow what a fragrance no wonder so many people think so highly of it, it is strong however the strength doesnt make a person go into spasms, what it does is have quite a lingering presence. I didnt buy it because I had no time to wait for a sales person to accomodate me but brought the sample card home. The scent didnt stay long on my finger bec I wash my hands quite often. Now I have to be honest here, the card held the beautiful scent of peaches, incense and a lot of florals and it lasted actually on the card that I had on the side of my tub for 2 weeks, I kid you not. At least twice a day I would pick up the card to smell this lovely scent. I cannot go into detail about the flowers that make up this scent but I also smell deep citrus, deep oakmoss and no wonder this perfume has been around this long bec it lasts and lasts even on paper. I will purchase the next time I am able to get to this dept store. This is a beauty and it actually reminds me of the warmth and deepness found in another favorite of mine Paco Rabanne Metal. Only Mitsouko is much stronger.

Edit: It has become far and away my favorite fragrance. I only have 10 ml so I hoard it. It was recognizing that it smells like a homemade, rich spicy peach pie that helped me understand it, and now it's the most decadent thing I have and I'm crazy about it. This is probably my HG.
Four wearings now.
Today was the first day I could even detect any peach.
The first wearing, the chypre was too much for me. It's so not-sweet, not easy. it's a heavy, serious smell.
But I tried it again. The second time, I noticed that the drydown smelled an awful lot like horehound candy, or sarsaparilla. That was intriguing enough to keep me interested.
So I wondered what part of Mitsouko was vetiver, and set out to Nordstrom and Surrender to Chance and did vetivers. I love vetiver now. And even though I've learned that vetiver isn't the main note, I love the note that is there a lot.
The thing about Mitsouko is that it gives different impressions all day long. I'll catch a whiff and think, mosquito spray. And then I'll smell that chypre. And then I'll get that root beer impression.
Today I smelled the bottle itself and yep, there it was. Not a fresh juicy peach. A spicy peach pie. A really nutmeg-y, rich peach pie. Now I'm catching hints of that, in with the chypre.
Over the course of four wearings, I've become strangely addicted to the odd thing. It's a far, far cry from the modern offerings at, say, Kohl's. Those all smell like varying flavors of daquiri to me. I had no idea there were perfumes like this after a steady diet of Escada and Pink Sugar and various Burberry bottles.
This is a very non-trivial scent.

Right from the start, I never bought this perfume, just tested it.
And as you guess from this statement, I´d never buy this perfume for me.
Finding a new perfume is alway a chore for me. Right now, I have exactly 1 perfume I´d buy again and 2 others I don´t bother to buy again.
I thought I´d stray from my usual clean-scented perfumes and find something completely different for me.
Most perfumes smell awful on my skin. It´s just my skin´s chemistry and I don´t blame the perfume. I´m very sensitive towards fragrances too and get a headache easily from bad perfumes.
Mitosuko was not meant for me. While I wore Samsara several years, Mitsouko smelled really bad on my skin..
One perfume review described Mitsouko´s smell:
"Mitsouko is one of the well known aromas of chypre olfactory group with cool top notes and oak moss in the base. But it also has a note of a juicy peach, which gives a clear and quite gourmand nuance. It features bergamot, peach, jasmine, may rose, spices (cinnamon), oak moss, vetiver and wood."
I definitely couldn´t smell any of the mentioned flowers or spices on my skin.
Hate to say it, but it smells like mothballs or rather clothes, that hung in a mothball filled closet for years.
It had no development on my skin, no depths, no undertones, just a flat powdery scent clinging to my skin.
In fact, it was overwhelming powdery on my skin and the whole day I wore it, I couldn´t detect any of the described undertones and basenotes.
I´d strongly suggest to test this perfume as it is a very classical scent from 1919 and if you´re used to "modern" perfumes, this migth be a olfactoric shock to you.

I got the EDP during a 6 hour wait at cdg airport after smelling some - quite frankly - atrocious scents (that's you, poeme by lancome!) and I'm glad I did.
I didn't want to rush into buying it so I spritzed some on and took a long walk to let the scent develop on my skin properly. I wasnt wowed at first spritz but when it dried, it evolved into this complex mesh of glamorous feminine elegance. I'm not usually one for powdery scents but there's truly something special about this. I find it quite alluring and it grows on me more each time I wear it. The staying power is fantastic as well.
Mine came in a classic gold box that I found quite refreshing given how busy perfume packaging can be.
If I ran out, lost or broke my bottle in a freak accident, I would definitely re-purchase

I've tried a few Guerlain perfumes over the years namely Shalimar, Samsara, L'Heure Bleue and Idylle. Samsara and Idylle smell divine on me but the rest (even though they smell good in the bottle) end up smelling putrid on me. I guess there's something in my DNA that just doesn't mesh well with Guerlain perfumes. Despite this, I decided to try Mitsouko mainly because I was on a Jean Harlow kick (this was reportedly her favorite perfume) and partly because I went through a very short lived phase of buying perfumes I've never smelled just because I could (By the way, this is a very silly practice and I don't advise any one do it unless you like collecting perfumes you don't use or you're super rich and simply don't care).
I'll say this much, Mitsouko is not your run of the mill, peppy fruity/floral perfume that you'll smell on every other woman if you're at the mall. As with almost all Guerlain scents, there is something moody and haunting about it. There's a darkness to it that is mellowed by the peach note and it is rather heavy. It actually is a very lovely scent that has amazing lasting power but on me, this just smells awful. Other people think it smells lovely on me but there's something in it that I just don't like. It also gives me a raging headache even if I spritz a tiny amount so, unfortunately, this will just sit in my drawer. I do take it out from time to time because the bottle is beautiful but as far as wearing it, I just can't bring myself to do it again.
If you're looking for something off beat yet classic and sophisticated, I would recommend this. I can easily see this being the signature scent of someone who can pull this off because it is an usual and unique scent that people remember.

Fun fact: Jean Harlow, in addition to Ingrid Bergman, wore this fragrance as well!
I was so excited to get my hands on a small sample vial of Mitsouko EDP. The notes in this vintage fragrance sounded fascinating and Im a big fan of chypres. On me it smells warm, herbal and a bit dirty. The peach in it is not sweet at all, but a dry, subtle peach. I like the oakmoss base but unfortunately, at least on me, it smells like my hair if I didnt wash it for a week. That realization was sort of funny to me because just the week before I received my order I thought to myself "Hey, it would be super interesting if someone made a perfume that smelled like unwashed hair!". I like that scent (yeah, yeah, dont judge!). Some scents (like Costus or Civet) come off that way.. but there isnt any in this formulation. I guess its the spices or wood or just my skin that makes it smell this way. The fragrance didnt ever settle on my skin, it sort of changed every hour.
This isnt an easy fragrance to wear and its not for all occasions. Its definitely not boring! but a fascinating fragrance. It lasts for hours (just with a dab behind each ear) and the projection is average.

I thought of Mitsouko on Saturday, while I was watching the movie "Indiscreet" (1958) with Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant. They say online at several sites that Guerlain Mitsouko was Ingrid Bergman's favorite perfume. I have also read that Charlie Chaplin wore it.
There is a scene toward the end of "Indiscreet" -- in Ingrid's bedroom -- and she's sitting at her vanity -- and Cary Grant is stomping around the room (they're fighting). And on Ingrid's vanity are many small crystal bottles, but there is one *massive* bottle on her vanity, shaped just like one of the old-fashioned disc-shaped Guerlain bottles -- with a domed pointy gold lid. You can't see the label, but if Mitsouko was her real-life fave, then perhaps this prop was her personal choice? - a representation of her own favorite perfume?
Personally, I've tried to "get" Mitsouko -- many times. I've owned EDT, EDP, and parfum versions. No, I just don't like it. So sorry, I know it's a huge fave on this board and others. Not for me. Chypres are very hit-or-miss for me -- I only like a few.
It's just too oakmossy -- like straight-up oakmoss + vetiver to me. Someone once said it smells like "pickle juice" on the board, and LOL, it really does! I totally see that. It seems to have a salty, almost briney or soy sauce quality, to me.
I just don't understand all the references to melancholy, rain, gloom, mystery, and art -- all of which appeal to me greatly. As an introvert, I feel I should love this -- but I don't get those images & feelings from this fragrance, sorry. It doesn't even really smell like perfume to me, and I long ago gave up trying to learn to appreciate it.
It came out in 1919, means "mysterious" in Japanese, and here are its notes, per parfumo.net:
Top Notes: Bergamot, Jasmine, Rose, Citruses
Heart Notes: Lilac, Peach, Ylang-ylang
Base Notes: Ambergris, Oakmoss, Spices, Vetiver, Cinnamon

San Diego region receives mega-allotment of Clean Renewable Energy Bonds (CREBs) for solar energy
Wednesday, October 28th, 2009
Under the leadership of CleanTECH San Diego, nine local governmental bodies have received bonding authority for over $154 million of Clean Renewable Energy Bonds (CREBs). Announced by the Treasury Department today, the allocation is 19% of the $800 million awarded for the entire country. This over-sized allocation is the result of a substantial collaborative effort which included several San Diego companies, non-profits and even a team of four UCSD students.
All of the applications submitted from San Diego were for solar energy. The largest total award in the U.S. went to the San Diego Unified School District which received an allocation for $74 million bonds for 111 projects. The financial benefit to the School District is the indirect subsidy provided by the IRS which greatly reduces the interest expense. "These bonds function as tax credit bonds which allow investors to receive federal tax credits in lieu of the payment of a portion of the interest on the bond. For CREBs, the federal tax credits will cover 70 percent of the interest on the bonds".
The local winners were City of Chula Vista, City of Lemon Grove, Fallbrook Public Utility District, UC San Diego, San Diego State, San Diego Unified School District, San Dieguito Union High School, City of Santee and Santee School District. Click here for the national list.
Today's good news really amounts to a knock on the door to opportunity. In the months ahead each award winner will have the real work of issuing bonds and implementing the solar projects.

Cradley Heath lad who came home from the war
Posted: March 27, 2014|
FOR many survivors of the First World War the sense of guilt that they had come home when so many of their brothers in arms had not must have been overwhelming.
One Black Country soldier to return was William Tombs, who returned to his native Black Country but his brother Bert Tombs did not.
This photograph of William has been given to us by his nephew, Harry Smith of Cradley Heath. It shows William standing third from right on the back row of a group of Worcestershire Regiment soldiers, somewhere in France.
It appears they are in fresh-built billets, judging by the relative cleanliness of the huts and the duckboards laid over the mud.
William was born in 1889 and Bert in 1894 and both served in the Worcestershire Regiment. Harry has some of the letters that they wrote home.
In one Bert wrote, "I went to Chelmsford on Friday to see the soldiers review by Lord Kitchener. There was about twenty five thousands soldiers there. I saw Kitchener. Will's lot started at three o'clock in the morning and didn't get back till seven thirty at night, so they had enough for one day I should think."
Both brothers were wounded and even though they were treated at the same hospital they were unable to see each other while they were there.
Bert fought in Gallipoli, where he was injured, and afterwards on the Western Front. He rose to be a sergeant but was killed in action on April 23, 1917. With no known grave his name is recorded on the Arras Memorial, France.
William survived the war but never again enjoyed full health and died in 1932, aged 43.
Bert Tombs was not the only man from his home town to serve in the Worcesters and lose his life in the war and Harry has supplied us with this list of all Cradley Heath men, and the streets where they lived, killed in the regiment in WWI:

'Love Story' Actress Ali MacGraw Visits Huntsville
Actress Ali MacGraw is speaking at the Huntsville Museum of Art today. MacGraw rose to fame in 1969 for her role in Goodbye, Columbus, for which she won a Golden Globe award. Shortly after, MacGraw starred in Love Story, for which she earned a second Golden Globe and an Academy Award nomination. Today, MacGraw is in Huntsville as a special guest for the art museum's 'Voices of Our Times' event. MacGraw says she's traveled all over the world, but this is her first visit to the South.

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. --- The Cal State Northridge softball team (0-10) lost twice Saturday, to No. 25 LSU and Hawai'i, and to Utah Sunday to wrap up its time at the UNLV Louisville Slugger Desert Classic in Las Vegas. Leann Lopez had a nice weekend for Northridge, hitting her first career double and picking up a two-hit performance against the Rainbow Wahine.
Facing their fourth ranked team of the young season, Northridge mustered just one hit, a Crystal Maas single, in the loss to No. 25 LSU. The Bengal Tigers scored two in the first, four in the third and five in the fifth off CSUN pitching to come away with an 11-0 victory. Mia Pagano was the losing pitcher for the Matadors.
In the nightcap against a future Big West Conference opponent, Hawai'i, the Matadors finished with five hits but ultimately lost 8-0 in six innings. The Rainbow Wahine scored six runs in the fourth and added one in both the first and sixth. One of Lopez's two hits was her first career double. Maas took the loss in the circle for Northridge.
Sunday, the Matadors squared off with Pac 12 member Utah. Northridge jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in the first inning. Lopez led off the game with a single and moved to second a sac bunt by Abby Linn. Carlsen then brought Lopez home with her second double of the weekend and 28th of her career.
Northridge added to its lead during the next at bat when Carlsen stole third and then came home on a throwing error by the catcher.
The lead was short lived as the Utes got three runs in the top of the second, third in the top of the third and two more in the top of the fourth.
Northridge could not comeback and in Utah scored another four runs in the top of the sixth to end the contest. Pagano took the loss for CSUN in the circle.
The Matadors' next game will be a fundraiser with the NPF's USSSA Pride. First pitch on Tuesday, Feb. 21 at Matador Diamond is slated for 1 p.m. Both teams are expected to participate in an autograph session following the game.

Austin responds, "It wasn't a Brock issue at all. It was a stupid business decision, and I flew off the handle. I was wound up pretty tight at the time. I thought they [WWE] were poking me with a stick, and I admittedly handled that in the worst possible way. It never had anything to do with Brock Lesnarit was just a stupid business decision, and although I handled it wrong, there wasn't anyone in that company who can tell me it was a smart move to me in that match with no build and blow a total marquee pay-per-view or rivalry that could have lasted God knows how long!
"I don't have any problems with anything Brock said. He's got his take on things. And anytime you can flap your gums and stir things upwell, I'm always about that."
CM Punk's rant on the June 27, 2011 edition of RAW emboldened a vocal audience looking to return to the edgier tone of "The Attitude Era." That, coupled with The Rock's return to the ring, has created a division between people longing for the days of yesteryear and supporters of the current product. Austin comments on what "attitude" means to him.
"It's funny to me that "The Attitude Era" was named that way. Guys and gals in this business have always had attitude. But for some reason, I started cutting off-the-hook promos, and someone wanted to label it 'The Attitude Era.' It's an interesting way to reference that time, but WWE has always had over-the-top, extreme attitudes. I don't think the answer is creating something different, or bringing back the The Attitude Era. I think you need to let these cats fly. Kick them out of the nest to see if they can survive. The cream will rise to the top and the weak is going to fall by the wayside because this is a competitive environment. That's the only way to bring any edge back into the product. It's about letting guys fly, talking from their hearts, and their guts, and their brains. That's what makes for exciting TV. It ain't about 'attitude.' End of story."

Development squad head to Arsenal
by Ashley Houghton
Clash of high-flyers in prospect in the capital.
Sunderland's development squad travel to Arsenal this evening looking to end the Gunners' unbeaten start to the Barclays U21 Premier League campaign.
The young Black Cats lie above the North London outfit in the table in third place with 17 points, though the sixth-placed Gunners are just three points behind.
Arsenal have the meanest defence in the division having conceded only five goals in their six league games - however, the young Black Cats haven't failed to score in a competitive game this campaign, scoring two or more in six of their nine matches.
Mikael Mandron is back in the squad following an injury lay-off, giving coach Kevin Ball an extra option up front.
The game kicks off at 7pm at Boreham Wood FC with free admission for any supporters who are wishing to attend.
Live updates will be available on the Black Cats' official twitter account @SAFCofficial and a full report and reaction will be available on safc.com following the match.
Sunderland (from): Dixon, Stryjek, Laing, Ferguson, Cartwright, Laidler, McNamee, Egan, Moberg Karlsson, Mitchell, Lawson, Watmore, Agnew, Mandron, Lynch, Honeyman.

Did you seriously just try to white knight after opening by insulting the person? I get that he did the same to you, but it's not a great way to show intelligence. But more than that, you try to champion not using the TP. He's not talking about playing it like stocks, he's saying to actually bother selling things. I've never been rich in this game, but so long as I farm a good majority of what I need for crafting, I come out with money still intact.
Legendary weapons have many exotic items that are comparable to the legendaries, the only reason to have a legendary weapon is for "leet gear." Otherwise, I genuinely don't agree with your opinion, plain and simple.

Some of you guys spend way too much time defending GW2 i wonder when do you even play? i am on my way to second LVL 80 now. Love the game despite its issues but can't say the same for the fan base. Way too obnoxious.

Very weak attempt to flame me dude. Your post would make more sense if i leveled two 80's say in a week. It took me one whole month to get my first 80.
But yeah thanks for proving my point about obnoxious fan base. There is difference bteween complaining and telling OP to stop posting. If it bothers you so much why even come into specific section of forums which is meant for giving reviews?
I don't think you are pretty much done, and posting on sock puppet accounts? not cool dude.
But then again i don't give much credit to people who try to inject 'wow' as an insult wherever they can.

If you're relatively done with the content of an MMO within a month, I would definitely say you're marathoning. I'm level 61 after a month of playing because I spent time playing classes to a decent level first to decide if I liked that playstyle, instead of forcing myself through something.
It wasn't an attempt to flame you, it was just to say that you and the op have both said laughable things (and this post doesn't help your case).

Secondly, where did i say i am done with content? care to show me?. because i re read what i wrote and no where i mentioned that i completed all the content. All i said was that i love the game despite the issues and on my way to second level 80. So ofcourse i enjoy the game that i want to level another character to 80.
Laughable indeed. How about this. Read properly next time before you want to argue just for argument sake? the leveling curve in GW2 is such that crafting, W v W along with DE's and exploring will easily get you to level 80. And no i didn't have any alts. I like to stick to one character at a time. Want me to apologise for finding the class i enjoyed from the get go?

My highest is 26...after a month. Just to put things in perspective. See? To me you marathoned even though you may not have. It's all perspective.
And you're being holier-than-thou against someone who did settle on one class and experienced more of the content?
I love the GW2 community. They're winners.

Try not! Do or do not. There is no try.
After reading a few posts I just sat with my head in my hands. Anet has some tweaking to aspects of the game. Respawn rates and enemy densisty in zones will be adjusted as the game settles and player bases spread out through out the game. I remember in a few other MMOs the enemy spawn rates were scewed until things settled after launch.
As far as the whole trinity and game play being bad.... it just goes to show how many people have been craddled like little babies for too long. Button mashing endless rotations with little plaining on ability usage for too long leads to bad habits of game play. GW2 gives players a chance to better control their gameplay and this gamer is excited about it. This is not a game where you go from 1-30 or higher without dying a few times AND dying a few times in a dungeon is NOT a failed group or over powered enemies. It is a challenging game that makes me want to get better at my evassive abilities and learn to do better next time. Many classes especially the guardian can be a great support healer if traited and played right. Before writing off the game as bad design take more than a few weeks of game play to try out the different trait and stat options for better configurations in group play. You might realize how versatile the game can be.
For many we have been handed such an easy game play formula for so long that when something challenging and different comes along you'd rather run back to candyland.

In my experience, people in GW2 overall do not *want* to socialize or interact. They are too busy tearing off after the next DE or map point of interest etc. The game does not require interaction on that level, and many people, again in my experience, do not bother with it.

Yes if what your looking for is more WoW clones don't play GW2 it is designed for people who don't want to play games like Rift or WoW or Aion. Also Orichalchum ore is like 2-3 silver a piece not for 3 of them and while i respect your oppinion GW2 is the only game i have ever heard of where casaul players can make enough money for everything they need. In most games to be a halfway decent player you have to farm dungeons to sell loot on extreemly low drop rates or your so poor you can afford anything. In GW2 you really can do everything yourself. If your dieing too much try a different weapon combo or a different trait spec. This game is very play style dependant so if you play a certain way different specs will work better for you.
Fundementally it comes back to one point. Anyone whose attitude is i play a game to reach max level and then run a couple of raids should not play this game. That is not what it is about The end game is playing the game its not an old school RPG where your goal is to be the biggest badass in the room becuase you have farmed more of this or that. That was evident from the start when they choose to make names not show in WvW.

Also personal story quests can be done in groups so if your having trouble get a friend. GW2 is a social game. They did a good job of making it so that you never have to say LFG to do standard PVE because of the way the downed system works people will work together when near each other automatically, btu nothing in the game says you can't go out and get a group.

People are used to the carrot on the stick approach.
I left games because it focused on "progression" to much (WoW, Swtor, etc).
People are having a hard time coming out of the box they've lived in for the last 10 years. MMOs have all tried to be like WoW, one way or another. When a game comes along and makes EVERYONE EQUAL where fun and skill are the basis for competition, instead of gear grinds, people can't handle the freedom.
If you want a more structured game with hard set rules, progression, and carrots on sticks.... 99% of the market will offer it to you. For me, I like not having to play GW2 for 3 months, come back, and feel that I'm still on equal footing as everyone else.
BTW - those of you saying Guild Wars 2 has simple combat is just flat out false. Gw2 classes have more customization and variety than most other games combined.

You can put the crayons away and have an adult conversation. It's fine.
1) If your issue isn't with the system being broken, then don't lead your opening post with a paragraph talking about how it doesn't work. "The whole grouping dynamic in this game is just quirky and retarded and doesn't work for shit". Your words, not mine. Whatever your experience with a trinity system is kind of irrelevant, when talking about how this system plays differently. I know that typically being a main tank in a raiding guild gives you a lot status, but that doesn't really matter when we're talking about a system in which everyone is responsible for themselves. Most bosses will only 2shot you if you go into a dungeon with no health. That's mistake #1 in which most people make. You can't go into a dungeon with 5k hp, when most players are rolling with 10k+, and not expect to have issues with dying. You can still cover for your teamm8s, but it's done much more actively now, as opposed to through some arbitrary 'taunt' mechanic. You have skills that completely negate damage: blocks, blinds, reflections, evasion, invulnerable. They are there for a reason.
2) I never said that the "normal" way of making money was via the auction house. In fact I specifically described things in reference to not using it. Please don't put words in my mouth. It's merely a system that exists, and one that can be used to profit quite a lot with some basic math & observation. As I mentioned in my last post, it's also not a requirement to make money in the game. It's simply one very useful option you can choose to use or not.
- Again, back to my original post. You can make back your repair costs (at lvl 80 with full exotics) by doing 1 event alone, and you will come out w/ more money than you started with. If you think doing 1-5minutes of content to pay for a few repair bills is too much, then my god what MMOs have you been playing? I've been playing since the days of EQ, and few MMOs ever hand out money as easily as this one does. Money only becomes an issue if you are dying repeatedly, all the time, and doing nothing to earn it back. Or if you are constantly waypointing across the world via paid waypoints (which can cost as much as ~5s at 80) without doing anything to earn your money back. Either way, it all comes back to you needing to do something to earn that money back. It's not even hard, it takes 1-5minutes of your time to come back w/ more money than you started with. Or you could do some of the more challenging content and come out w/ even larger chunks of cash. High lvl events yield 5-10silver, and drop A LOT of items you can sell for money. Couple that w/ there being very few things you need to actually spend money on in the game, and there really isn't much of an issue. What this really comes down to is how often you are dying, and why?
3) No, they aren't required. You seem to be forgetting that this game isn't very heavily focused on gear. Legendary gear is mostly cosmetic, and you can easily obtain exotics for a small fraction of what it costs to make a legendary. You can clear the hardest content in the game w/ blue gear, your stats get scaled in WvW, and you don't need anything to have evenly powered gear in sPvP. People get legendaries for the skin. There is no power advantage. Thus, I don't see how they are 'required' by any stretch of the word. The simple fact that barely anyone has legendaries atm should make this pretty obvious.
Some things in the game are told to you, but yes, they want you to figure some things out on your own. The horror.
4) Thanks for the label. I love how you seem to know my inner most thoughts. That must be a very useful gift. And thanks for repeatedly suggesting I should 'read more', and then following it up with a complete lack of comprehension towards my original post. I read your OP. I read your reply. I suggest you carefully read mine. The only reason I didn't quote the whole thing is because it would be a massive wall of text.
I don't care whether or not you view me as having some pre-bias, but I can tell you right now that you are projecting w/ each paragraph. Like I said in my earlier post, I don't care if you dislike the game or not, but your reasonings are very flawed. I even reiterated as to why. It's your choice whether you want to listen or not. Most of your opinions (as I've seen others point out in this thread) come from you treating this game like something it's not. You are very much looking at it from an EQ / WoW mindset, and then blaming the game for having different mechanics. The whole appeal of GW2 is that it promised to break away from those mechanics and try something new.
If you are going to respond, than I'd suggest not doing it w/ some pre-conceived notion as to what my intent is, or what you think I sound like.
Oh, and btw, that's not what a strawman is.

Part of what GW2 suffers from is that it's caught in between a game that doesn't want to focus on linear progression, and a game that is forced to cater to that mindset in order to have a decent amount of players.
Many people (including the OP) still try and play this game like it's WoW, inspite being told repeatedly why that doesn't work. I still see many groups trying to play the game like a trinity. Expecting someone to tank for everyone else, and suggestion that 'healing' is needed for some bs reason or another.
You also see this when it comes to gear. People still think they need full exotics to be valid in this game. However the math shows that the different between a blue weapon & an exotic of the same lvl is only about 10%. The majority of your power comes from your skills, traits, runes/sigils, and how you use them.
The sooner people start seeing the game for what it is, the sooner they can appreciate it and start focusing on real issues (like fixing the Zaitan fight, WvW imbalances, token costs, etc.)

If you read my previous post on the my initial feelings about wiki you know i was not happy with it.
I've recently installed Drupal, and even without any fancy configuration I am loving it:
I think it's likely we will remove the wiki and do all collaborative work through the Drupal pages.
I will try to set up an automatic registration for forum members so users don't have to sign up twice.
I'm also looking into the possibility of using a drupal-based feature request/bug report system, instead of the mantis standalone system we are using.
As you will read in this thread we have since decided not to go with drupal, and have actually settled on using MediaWiki, despite all of it's flaws.

My research program explores interactions between modern methods in algebraic geometry, algebraic combinatorics, and representation theory. In particular, I am interested in answering geometric and topological questions about algebraic varieties such as the flag variety, the affine Grassmannian, and affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties using the methods of algebraic combinatorics and combinatorial representation theory. Related to these projects is the study of the partially ordered set of Newton polygons associated to elements in the affine Weyl group, as well as the development of models for quantum and affine Schubert calculus.

First Mac, What to buy?
I saved up money for a couple months hoping to buy a MacBook Pro.
Ill probably use it mostly for basic browsing, music, rarely online games, nothing too heavy like photoshop or video editing, im just gunna use it like I would use my PC. I might take it to school, im not in college, still a senior, but I will be going next year. I mostly stay home tho, so I might use it as a full time desktop, or half time at least. Right now I was looking at Refurbished MacBook Pro 2.0GHz quad-core Intel i7 - Apple Store (U.S.) but I feel like I dont really need a quad-core i7 for what im going to do, but I also couldnt really find anything cheaper, like a Mid 2010. Thats the cheapest best thing I found, im not sure if I should get that, or keep looking for a mid-2010 dual core i5 for around 1000. Any help would be appreciated, thanks alot guys :)
That list on apple changes Daily. just keep checking back you will find the model you are looking for
Yes indeed. Apple Certified Referbs are fantastic buys. Normally, you can get a better machine for hundreds of dollars less then it would cost you to get that same machine brand new. Any current revision of the MacBook Pro will be more than powerful for what your looking to do.

-3/4" thick 6" wide by 18" long wood (I chose Maple)
-BB's, Lead weights, Dust from bench grinder, Steel bar stock, or any thing else that is dense and can fit in the mallet. (I went with BB's because you can buy a lot really easily)
-Wood glue (I went with titebond III because its my favorite)
-Leather (I bought mine at Michaels)
-Epoxy, craft glue, or super glue (what ever you want to glue leather with)
-Sand paper to use on palm sander at TechShop
-Wood Stain (what you want. Just there to keep the wood from staining from other sources)
I made this at TechShop
Step 1: Measuring and cutting
Then take your wood and cut another section that is 10" long on the miter saw.
Step 2: Table saw time
Take your 6" long piece and cut them into 1-15/16" wide strips. this is for if your blade is 1/8" wide which it is for me at TechShop.
Then set your saw to 4-1/2" wide to make the handle 1-3/8" wide.
In the end you will have 4 pieces from this.
Step 3: Back to the miter saw
Step 4: Drill press and scroll saw for adding weight
After the drilling i used the scroll saw to cut rectangles in the center. I made mine by guess the size. I would recommend this due to the weight you could be adding. You might need narrow and long or short and wide based off your weight.

TACOMA, WASH. -- Willamette University's men's soccer team was defeated by Chapman University 1-0 on Saturday, Sept. 12, in a game played on the University of Puget Sound campus. Chapman's Matt Prouty tallied the only goal of the game. WU fell to 1-4 overall while Chapman moved to 4-1.
Willamette gave up a goal in the first half for the first time this season. Willamette has now lost four games by a 1-0 score. Prouty's goal came just 8 minutes and 47 seconds into the game. He scored on a free kick from the left side about 16 yards deep.
Willamette took 12 shots in the game, including two shots on goal. Natividad Zavala (Fr., D, Salem, OR/South Salem HS) and Ross Vartain (Jr., F, Palo Alto, CA/Mid-Peninsula HS) each had one shot on goal. Casey Dineen (Sr., MF, Portland, OR/Jesuit HS) took five shots while Luke Lagattuta (Sr., MF, Albuquerque, NM/Highland HS) and Erik Kaufman (So., F, Portland, OR/Grant HS) had a shot apiece.
Four yellow cards were handed out during the game, two for each team. Willamette had 14 fouls compared to 15 fouls for Chapman.
Mark Bennett (Sr., GK, Salt Lake City, UT/West HS) played the first half at goal for the Bearcats. He recorded one save and gave up one goal. Bradley Eckerson (So., GK, Portland, OR/Cleveland HS) took over for the Bearcats in the second half. He held Chapman scoreless in his 45 minutes of play.
The Bearcats finished their pre-conference schedule with a 1-4 overall record. The Bearcats return to action on Sept. 19 at Sparks Field against Northwest Conference opponent Pacific Lutheran University at 2:30 p.m. (PDT).

Ravenna T3 Comp 105 WFG
Weight : 18 lbs 12.8 oz
Issue : Jun 2014
Editorial Review
Testers praised the Ravenna's perky ride. "It has a go-get-'em attitude on both climbs and descents," said one. Designers gave this model geometry that was more forgiving--and more upright--than the other two bikes. That reduced strain on our backs and necks during longer rides, making this the most comfortable bike of the three. The Shimano 105 drivetrain and brakes performed well, and the whole package left us feeling like we'd be less fatigued after a long ride than the others.

Historic S.A. firehouse could become restaurant

Andrew Goodman, who owns Feast in Southtown, had the winning bid and has signed a contract to purchase old Fire Station No. 7, 604 S. Alamo St., that's been retired by the city. The spot is a prime location at the entrance to Southtown between Cesar Chavez Boulevard and Water Street across from Hemisfair Park.
The two-story 5,200-square-foot building appraised at $797,000. Goodman intends to open a restaurant that would include a bar and dining room on the first floor with an open kitchen dining area upstairs. It also has a 300-square-foot basement that likely will be used as a wine cellar.
While the plans are still preliminary, Goodman and Feast Executive Chef Stefan Bowers are considering "an old-school style Italian steakhouse in a sexy modern setting." The restaurant at the firehouse would be open for lunch during weekdays and six nights a week for dinner.
Read a review of Feast.
For Andrew Goodman, the opportunity also is sentimental.
"I was born and raised in San Antonio. It's my home. My dad and his father had a business in 300 block Water Street," he said.
If all goes as planned, Goodman will own a business two blocks from where his family's business was nearly 70 years ago. Goodman estimates the restaurant could open by early 2015.
"It's a gateway to Southtown," Goodman said. "Southtown really has become a food mecca."

Goodman also is a managing partner for the restaurant inside the St. Anthony Hotel that's under renovation. That project also is slated to be complete by 2015.

Driver held over 'bid to murder PC'
Posted: November 13, 2012|
A MOTORIST has been arrested on suspicion of attempting to murder a police officer in an alleged hit-and-run attack in Burton.
It is claimed the 40-year-old man deliberately drove a stolen red Vauxhall Astra car into the young male officer, who was flung onto the bonnet and carried for a short distance before falling off.
Fewer than 24 hours later, the suspect was spotted again in the stolen vehicle and chased by police cars, ending with a major crash on St Peter's Bridge just hours after Burton's Remembrance Sunday parade.
The fleeing driver was today still in custody being questioned by detectives. He has not been charged with any offence.
Inspector Tyrone Kerr, of Burton police, said the officer suffered only a minor knee wound and returned to work shortly after he was injured in Edward Street, Burton, at 5.30pm on Saturday.
The stolen car was then spotted on Sunday afternoon and, following a short chase from Stapenhill into Burton, it hit some metal railings and collided with a Renault Scenic travelling in the opposite direction near the Tesco supermarket.
The road was closed after the 2.05pm crash so debris and leaking fuel could be cleaned up.
The driver was arrested at the scene along with his female 38-year-old passenger. Both were given medical treatment at the scene.
No-one else was injured.
Insp Kerr said: "The red Vauxhall Astra is believed to have been stolen during a burglary three or four weeks ago.
"One of our officers saw the vehicle on Saturday and made an attempt to stop it.
"The driver then drove the vehicle at the officer, causing the officer to end up on the bonnet being carried along.
"The driver of the vehicle is a well-known local criminal who was already wanted on other matters. The officer identified himself to the driver, who then made a deliberate attempt to drive at and injure the officer.
"The man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder."
Insp Kerr continued: "The officer's welfare is in hand and he fortunately did not need to report sick.
"Any attacks on police officers are treated very seriously and it is only through good grace that this officer sustained only minor injuries.
"Bearing in mind what happened to the female police officer recently in London who died on foot chasing an offender, and the officers who died in the attack in Manchester, incidents such as this show what police officers do in the line of duty and the danger they put themselves in."
Anyone who witnessed the alleged attack on the officer, the pursuit or the collision is asked to call Staffordshire Police by dialling 101, quoting incident number 422 of November 11. Alternatively, witnesses can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

Invention of the Laser
Wednesday, September 26, 1984
Have you ever met a Nobel Prize winner? Few of us have, and fewer still have had the opportunity for a conversation with someone who holds one of the most prestigious awards in the world. One of the outstanding events on the Athenaeum's fall schedule is the visit of Arthur Schawlow, 1981 Nobel Laureate in Physics for his work on lasers. Schawlow's visit, which will involve far more than just a lecture, is intended for a general audience, not just budding physicists. He will be here for a reception on Wed., Sept. 26 at 5:30, dinner at 6:00, and a talk immediately following dinner.
Professor Schawlow has won numerous awards and citations for his pioneering work. Be sure not to miss the unique occasion. Signup deadline is Monday, September 24.

BOSTON (AP) - Jason Aldean will be making history at one of baseball's most historic sites.
Aldean will be the first country music star to play a concert at Fenway Park, the iconic home of the Boston Red Sox. The July 13 appearance will be the initial stop on his first stadium tour. Aldean made the announcement Thursday in the shadow of the Green Monster with an assist from Red Sox executives. Members of the team made a celebratory clip for the singer that played on Fenway's video board.
The Georgia native released his fifth album, "Night Train," this week. That title is an apt metaphor for his career, which has been steaming along on a steep trajectory.
Aldean is one of country's top draws. His yearlong "My Kinda Party" tour wraps later this month after more than 1.9 million tickets sold.
