Research Institution:
AbstractMany factors make the ground target tracking problem decidedly nonlinear and non-Gaussian. Some of these factors include the relatively poor angular accuracy of GMTI sensors, the presence of persistent clutter and target obscuration, and the complexity of target maneuvers. Because these difficulties can lead to a multimodal posterior density, a Bayesian filtering solution is more appropriate than a point estimate. Recently, the particle filter has emerged as a Bayesian inference technique that is both powerful and simple to implement. In Phase I, we established both the feasibility and necessity of using multiple-target particle filters when two or more tracks are linked through measurement contention. We also developed an efficient way to implement these filters by adaptively managing the type of particle filters, the number of particles, and the enumeration of hypotheses during data association. In Phase II, we propose to transition our Phase I prototype into a fully functional particle filter-based ground target tracker/classifier with commercial potential. The most challenging aspects of this transition are (i) the inclusion of feature data to perform joint tracking/classification, (ii) the development of a particle filter-based track initiation method, and (iii) the design of an efficient importance sampling scheme.

Party Scene:
Plenty to Do – Philadelphia is filled with plenty of things to do regardless of your age. Of course, because Drexel is a Greek-involved university, frat parties are common almost any night, especially Thursdays through Saturdays.
No Car Needed – Being in the city of Philadelphia, there are plenty of travel options throughout the city. While there are also opportunities for all students to have a car on campus, it is totally unnecessary (and pretty expensive anyway). It is efficient to use the number of public transportation services, from taxis to buses to subway and so on. And for the most part, it is all pretty safe.
If you want to get into the city aside from 15th street, public trans is a must. Unfortunately right now Drexel Shuttles while free only take you to the other Drexel Campuses rather than more options around the city. 15th street is not a bad stop but busses have more range. Shuttles from Drexel are free though and walking to and in the city is not bad. The city itself is about 2 blocks off campus and all you need will be on either Drexel's campus or Upenns campus, as Upenn has a grocery store and many other stores you will need.
its hard when your school is majority an engineering and business school. I'm a double-major in photography and international area studies. every so often you feel like all the arts & sciences kids don't get enough credit
Overall Experience:
Its All Worth It – The party scene isn't that great, the guys aren't very cute, the cost is pretty outrageous, but the academics and the city make it so worth it.
Guys & Girls:
Girls are pretty average, not very pretty, not very ugly. that's one of the reasons why guys tend to flip out whenever they see a seemingly cute girl around the campus. As for guys, I'd say the exact same thing: average.
Drexel does a good job at making this school very diverse, especially since the school is in a city
Guys & Girls:
There are a lot of weird guys at Drexel. The girls are usually pretty much all the same: either over-the-top Jersey girls or classier girls from the suburbs. The girl to guy ratio seems like it would be great for the girls on campus, but no. Drexel attracts some real weird guys.
Local Area:
One Word, Philadelphia! Drexel is right in the middle of Philly! (but in the good part, of course) Positioned in the University City district, we are surrounded by UPenn and USciences, both great schools. There are tons of college students everywhere. There is always something to do, somewhere to go. Local music scene is great. The party scene is also really good, Greek life rules that area, but there is always a few house parties too.
It's the City! Drexel University is in the middle of Philadelphia. We definitely experience every season, but the snow/rain that we do get is handled efficiently because the city takes care of it. The sidewalks are shoveled and de-iced a lot in the winter. It's really not a problem for us. And the party scene is never dampened by a little cold weather, in case that was a concern.
Lots to Choose from – I just finished my freshman year at Drexel, and I already love it. The quarter system we have works so well because we only have 10 weeks of a course/professor and then we're done with it. The workload in weeks 6-9 is pretty intense, but so worth it when you finish an academic year with 2x the credits than all of your other friends. Co-op is also a super amazing and unique element to the Drexel curriculum that I think a lot of students would love to experience, they just don't know it yet.
Dance Is the Best Program – The dance department at Drexel is the most helpful I have found. Miriam Giguere the program director is extremely helpful. You become extremely close with all of the faculty in the department. They are extremely devoted to help you find your niche within dance/movement therapy, dance education or physical therapy. Drexel is a very career oriented school
Local Area:
Lots of Things to Do – There are plenty of things to do in Philadelphia. Drexel is also very close to Upenn and a bunch of other colleges which gives you the option to switch it up some nights. Center City has great shopping and food. I would definitely recommend Redding Terminal Market as a must see. Drexel is also not far from the major sports stadiums, I was able to take a pretty cheap cab to the Phillies game one night which was a lot of fun.
Health & Safety:
Drexel campus is lomming with many odd characters. Though, there is public saftey on campus the neighborhod is dangerous.
Off-Campus Housing:
The off campus housing is what you make it. If you put in the work to find something affordable than most likely you will come out on top. But waiting until the last minute will not be in your favor. In the long run it is much cheaper to live off campus in a subsidy that is not university owned.
Very Strict – Drexel has zero tolerance for drugs. In fact the school is more harsh than if you were found by Philadelphia police with drugs. If you are caught smoking illicit drugs in your dorm room it's almost positive that you will immediately be suspended. Alcohol is more accepted where they make you pay a fine and go the alcohol classes. Whatever you do in your spare time do it safely with discretion.
Campus Food:
The food at Drexel is about average. The dining hall is usually a hit or miss but freshmen are required to purchase the dining package. Northside is good as long as you don't frequent there too often. The food is tasty but if you go there everyday you will run out of options. Starbucks is always a crowd favorite as well as Taco Bell.
Off-Campus Housing:
There is plenty of off-campus housing available in the surrounding neighborhoods, both pricier and cheap accommodations. However, be careful that you are choosing to live in a safe area!
Health & Safety:
Safe If City Smart – Drexel and UPenn take huge measures to keep the area safe. Take normal precautions, and be city smart/have common sense, and you should be able to go through your college years without a problem.
Campus Quality:
Drexel is always updating their facilities with the latest innovative materials and styles, boasting environmentally friendly engineering and construction. The new recreation center is awesome, and beyond the complaints of construction, the in-progress business school and chestnut constructions are bound to be even better.
Local Area:
Center of Action – University City is full of incredible restaurants, shopping, and bars with nearby Rittenhouse Square and Philly as a whole easily accessible. There is always something to do, a new place to try, and nearby colleges to pay a visit.
Party Scene:
At Drexel people work really hard Monday through Thursday. Come the weekend people are ready to let loose. You can always find multiple parties on the weekends that people just hop to. But during the week there's absolutely nothing, it's a joke to go out during the week.
Don't Bring Your Car – Honestly don't bring your car until you go on co-op. Parking is really expensive in the reserved spots and parking on the streets is a joke. Philadelphia is a huge city with very little room for parking spots. Also they're really intense about giving out parking tickets if your meter goes over by one minute. They'll literally stand there waiting for the time to click down. Just don't bring your car to campus because public transportation is so much better. Within blocks from campus there are two subway stops, train station, buses, taxis, etc. Just save money and learn public transportation around Philly.
Some sports at Drexel, like basketball, field hockey, or lacross, are really popular for people to go to and we are very successful. While other sports, such as softball, no one even knows when or where they play. It's like any team no one wants to watch a bad team. We have a great athletic program and the ones that are most successful are the most attended. Another plus is that admission for students to any athletic games are free!
Overall Experience:
One thing I love about Drexel is the co-op program. Everyone is really focused on the future and securing a job, which is amazing because we're really a step ahead of everyone else. Like the saying goes, "work hard, play harder" we still know how to have fun on the weekends. Saying that, if you don't want to focus on your future and just want to go crazy in college, maybe Drexel isn't the right place for you.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Some students complain about the "Drexel Shaft" screwing up their scheduling or billing, or a poor professor. The truth is that students will find red tape headaches and unfortunate instructors at just about every university. As long as students are picky about the professors and classes they enroll in, they can surely guarantee a positive academic experience. The University is filled with incredible professors that are more than willing to impart their professional wisdom. The Drexel Co-op is Drexel's strongest selling point, and many students come here specifically for that program. Some can't wait to graduate and zip through their classes, concentrating more on their co-op, as they feel it gives them more valuable experience. This vocational approach of the student works against the joy of the college learning experience. Some students scoff at the idea of taking electives in other academic concentrations, which they might enjoy or which could make them a more well-rounded person.
The hurry to graduate is mostly because of the fact that co-ops usually require students to stay at Drexel for five years. Students load up on courses when they are in school, try just to pass them, and complete their programs as soon as possible. This does not need to be the case, and the students that realize this earlier on tend to be immensely happier than the aforementioned students. It's unfortunate that this facet of students at Drexel feels this rush, but most of the other students relish their college experience and the various benefits Drexel has to offer. Most students are thrilled they went to Drexel in the end. The co-op is an invaluable experience that puts students ahead in the job race after graduation (it also beats any menial college job).

We want the Cup!!!
We loved everything about our stay. The hotel staff was friendly, there is valet service, wonderful dinner and the room was perfect! We will certainly stay here again while visiting Pittsburgh.
We took the room because it's close to Duq. It's a nice hotel but way too expensive. You have to ask for anything. There's barely enough shampoo, soap, towels. Two tea bags for 3 people. Pay for parking, breakfast. The wifi was a huge hassle.
Room was never cleaned ! Returned at 600pm and not cleaned ! No apology or offer to give hotel credit !!
One night stay for Pirates game and tour of University of Pittsburgh. Great location, clean and friendly

Latinos Voted Democrat 2-to-1, But Shifted Republican In Some Key Races
CREDIT: AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster
Latinos voted for Democratic candidates by a two-to-one margin in Tuesday night's election, the New York Times reported. Though Democrats received 64 percent of the national Latino vote, the exit poll also pointed to a Latino base that helped Republicans gain ground in some decisive races, suggesting some shift in Latino voting patterns.
Conducted by five television networks and the Associated Press, the exit poll found that Republican candidates in Texas, Colorado, and Georgia performed well among Latinos. Some 23 percent of Latinos, who make up 14 percent of Colorado's voter bloc, turned out for Cory Gardner as senator. In Texas, where Latinos make up 17 percent of the state's voter population, gubernatorial incumbent Greg Abbott took in a whopping 44 percent of the Latino vote. And in Georgia where Latinos make up only three percent of the voter population, both the Republican gubernatorial incumbent and Senate candidate took nearly half of the Latino vote.
A Latino Decisions poll found that 45 percent of Latino voters consider immigration reform to be the most important political issue, in part because the Latino community has a vested interest. At least 37.3 percent of the Hispanic population are immigrants. About 76 percent of the 11.7 million undocumented population are Hispanic. And at least 67 percent of Latino registered voters personally know an undocumented immigrant. That could possibly explain why candidates who emphasized pro-reform policies in the past received a big share of the Latino vote in some elections.
Gov. Rick Scott (R-FL) previously supported and signed into law an in-state tuition bill for undocumented immigrants and he received 45 percent of the Latino vote, according to the Latino Decisions poll. Scott edged out Charlie Crist in Florida's gubernatorial race. Another possible reason that Latinos turned out in large numbers for Republicans in the midterm election is that because activists said that they would not vote Democrat because President Obama had delayed executive action on immigration reform.
But if President Obama's delay gave Republicans ground in key states, they are not likely to retain that edge in the next election. Thus far, the GOP has resisted efforts to rally around immigration, some going so far as to campaign on deadly outbreaks and terrorists streaming across the border, in spite of its 2012 post-election minority outreach goals. Soon after Obama reaffirmed his conviction to act on immigration relief by the end of the year during a press conference Wednesday, Republicans criticized him for dooming the chances of permanent legislation from taking place. And even Republicans who previously emphathized with undocumented immigrants are moving faster and further away from that position. What's more, the GOP has thus far stalled on immigration on a congressional level and neglected to make it a goal for the new Congressional session, despite the urgency for some Latino voters.
The exit poll also found that 57 percent of Americans would prefer to see undocumented immigrants be "offered a chance to apply for legal status," a finding that jibes with other polls which show that a majority of Americans would like to see immigration reform.

One of the few movies that literally makes my eyes well up with tears from the emotion. A few scenes are automatic in their power: 1.Scrooge muttering ''Forgive me, Fan'', as he watches his sister die after childbirth: 2.Bob Cratchit mustering up the strength to tell his family about Tiny Tim's gravesite: 3.Scrooge reveling in his newfound happiness on Christmas Morning. Awesome stuff. Alistair Sim is picture perfect, and the rest of the cast is wonderful. Also, the colorization, in my opinion, makes it even better.
This movie is certainly good for any time of the year, even maybe appopriate for Halloween! I mean,what more do you want,ghost and spirits,anger and poignancy,and a little bit scary.Jacob Marleys ghost freaked me out for the longest time, as I saw this movie when I was 4 years old or so. Another somewhat dismal fact of the past is that I completely wore out a VHS copy of this film! But now,I have two VHS copies of it and worry no more! The mood of the film changes after a while,from eery to exciting, and sometimes even sad! I really do recommend this film to old time classic to oldies fans, and people everywhere! THE END.
If you've seen the other versions of Dickens' story(and I've seen them ALL!), this is the one you MUSTN'T pass up! I cannot say enough good about this version. This one gives the viewer a more subtle transformation from trusting youth to suspicious, embittered older man. Sim makes his Scrooge not only miserly and grouchy(which is the way he is presented in most versions), but cold and calculating as well, which makes his portrayal more believable and true-to-life, less of a caricature. One scene towards the end even includes some of one of my favorite old traditional songs,''Barbara Allen''(also in a couple of scenes earlier in the movie, when he is with his sister, Fan). Marvelous! Words cannot really do this version justice. It has to be seen to be appreciated. Watch it this Christmas(or anytime, for that matter)any way you can, but you MUST see it!
While Christmas comes and goes, time has been powerless to diminish the charm, warmth, and comfort of Sim's craft in Dicken's classic tale. Sim is the epitome of Christmas and its message of hope. By far the best version of ''A Christmas Carol'' ever made, if you have never seen this, you truly have missed one of the all time greats. They simply do not make movies like this anymore, which is indeed sad; but Sim and the supporting cast take us back to a time when life was indeed harder, but in many ways happier. You can easily lose yourself in the majesty of this movie. No other version comes close to bringing the viewer in touch with the very spirit of Christmas, which is indeed what Dickens was trying to do. A must for all who love Christmas!
I have seen many versions of this tale retold and this has got to be in a class all by itself. Alistar Sim does a wonderful Scrooge and to see a VERY young Patrick MacNee(The avengers)gives this time loved story a flavor all its own. And they didn't need computers to have decent special effects. This a a worth while movie.
Like many of the other reviewers,I have seen all the other Christmas Carol movies and this is the only Christmas Carol as far as I am concerned. It is as true to the book as you can get in less than two hours. Watching this movie every Christmas is the highlight of the season. My version is colorized and somehow, in some way, I still see it in black and white, the way it was originally made. I am in my 50's now and was a young girl the first time I saw it, and it still fills me with wonder and warmth.
This 1951 British film is simply unsurpassed as the definitive cinematic version of Dickens' haunting Scrooge tale. Richly atmospheric, splendidly adapted, beautifully directed & acted, it perfectly evokes early Victorian London at Christmas. The viewer experiences a mystical deja vu, a memory not based in fact, but rather in sentimental yearning. Most of all, Sim's embodiment of Scrooge is of a man psychologically transformed. He is made AWARE, RECOVERS, & makes AMENDS... still very timely concepts. Favorite scenes: Scrooge's initial fireside encounter with Marley's ghost & ultimate apology to his nephew's wife before the conclusion. And who could forget Kathleen Harrison as Scrooge's downtrodden housekeeper, Mrs. Dilbur? This version is the most adult-oriented film of Dickens' tale. But intelligent, inquisitive youngsters will never forget it. Superb.
The many remakes of this 51` masterpiece says it all about this superb cast and especially Alistair Sims brilliant portrayal of Scrooge. How could any but the English do Dickens as well? One more thing...ever notice how you miss some actors more than others upon their passing? Watch this and I assure you the passing of Alistair Sim will be all the more regretted.
Has there ever been an author that portrays people we all know so brilliantly? Do we not all know an Uncle Ebenezer, or someone from this film who reminds us of one our our very own family members? Has there ever been an actor who portrays Scrooge as perfectly as Alastair Simm, especially when he wakes up Christmas morning a changed man? This is my favorite movie of all time. Forget It's a Wonderful Life. Forget Miracle on 34th Street. This is the movie that will inspire you to live your life passionately every day of the year.
The moral of this wonderful picture will soften the coldest of hearts. Only Mr. Simm can characterize this stingy man and bring him full circle to appreciate and share his blessings.
As far as I'm concerned, this is the only movie version of ''A Christmas Carol''. The others are all good and fine, but pale in comparison to this one. Remember, Alastair Sim spent most of his career as a comedian in the same league as Chevy Chase and Bill Murray. He proved himself a very versatile actor. To see such a dramatic performance from a comedian is ASTOUNDING. When we watch this masterpiece, I hope he is floating around somewhere watching with us.
Next time you look at the classic 1951 Alistair Simm version of ''A Christmas Carol'' don't miss a very young Patrick McNee (The Avengers) as young Jacob Marley. It gives you a quick glimpse at a star in the making. I have seen him in a live version of ''Slueth'' and he was superb. It is just one more excellent cast member and why this version defines all others.
Forget the others. This one will change your LIFE... I'll never forget watching this with my father at Christmas time before he passed away. The acting is absolutely amazing! Alastair Sim goes from a horrible old man to actually being born again as a new soul. The reaction of his housekeeper to his glee at waking up alive and changed is priceless. Please, please watch this movie; I promise you - you'll never forget it.
clean the crew guy from the mirror when Scrooge looked at himself on Christmas morning??? I did purchase the anniversary DVD but refuse to look at the colorized version. Our family has memorized all the lines... ''Waiter..more bread'' ''Fan..forgive me Fan'' As far as I am concerned..THIS IS THE ONLY VERSION OF THE FILM.
I own close to all the different versions available including G. Scotts, Patrick Stewart, Sgrooged, An American Christmas Carol with Henry Winkler (ayyyyy. But all in all Allastir Sim's version is the best. I prefer it in black in white tho. Also on eversion quite overlooked is the Muppet's Christmas Carol with Michael Cain. I think next to Sim's version this is the one I enjoy also.
No question than Sims portrays the role better than George C. whom I love dearly but he made the mistake of portraying Scrooge as a real person. Dickens never wrote the character as a real person. Dickens meant him as a characature of a social type or class of the time. That is the brillinace to be found in Sims' portrayal...to bring a parable to life on the screen. I see new things in this film every time I watch.
This 'A Christmas Carol', called 'Scrooge' when released in 1951 has never had a serious challenge as the definitive film version. Alistair Sim is the consumate Scrooge. But too often unheralded is Michael Hordern as Jacob Marley. He makes Marley's ghost stunningly spooky and I believe there will never be a more authenic Marley. I like to think that Charles Dickens would be pleased with this film version. I tried the colorized version once and did not watch for more than five minutes. The black and white rendition is dark, somber, foggy and truly turns Scrooge into the '...squeezing, wrenching, grasping, scraping, clutching, covetous, old sinner!' we all know and love. My son and daughter demand a showing every year - they will watch no other.
Many watch 'Its A Wonderful Life' every Christmas. For me, my holiday season is not complete without watching this version of the holiday classic. Sim IS Scrooge. He leads a cast that bring this story to life. I think if Charles Dickens had lived to see this particular movie, he would have said... that is exactly what I had in mind. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves Christmas and who loves classic movies/literature.
My dad introduced me to this film back in 1956 and I have seen every year since. I even had a version sent to me when I was in Nam. This is the one and only version. It reminds me of my dad and that makes it the best ever. God Bless everyone!I also own the vhs and dvd versions.
Originally entitled by the British production company, Scrooge, this 1951 film is the definitive accounting. Not only is it exquisitely filmed, but a large portion of Dicken's originally written prose is incorporated into the fine script. The cast employs a great deal of popular British actors (including Patrick McGee from Avengers fame, and Mrs. Cratchit who later became the second maid on CBS' Maude in the 1970s). A wonderful score accompanies the films including many Christmas carols written during Dickens' time. Pop some popcorn, put out a plate of cookies, enjoy a glass of egg nog and fire up this classic year after year!
the entire cast is brilliant led by the incomprable A.simm
This is THE movie to portray 'A Christmas Carol'. Everything about it is perfect, from the sets, to the performances, to the fabulous casting. This is IT. We watch it every Christmas and insist on the B/W version.
The description for this product said it was the colourized version but the dvd sent to us was not. The story and movie are classics but i'm not happy that I wasn't given what I ordered.
This is the best version of Dickens story. Alastair Sims version is outstanding. The knock off version by George C Scott uses a lot of the same lines and copies situations from the Sims version. When Scott improvises it fails miserably.

Holy hell, how much has this industry been expanded?
Billions upon billions are made in the science industry...how much is made in the insider industry with the fundraisers?
Have you asked yourselves this?
There is a feedback loop where you donate money, that money is given to the fundraisers, that is divided between the industry, admin, and-ding*ding*ding* the fundraisers, and the cycle repeats...
Where is the solution? Hundreds of billions a year and no solutions? What are the pharmaceutical companies' cut? Do they care about solutions, or is it symptom based until the affected die? And hurray for those that survive! Survivors are significant because they are good for marketing.
No, there are ways around this travesty. There are ways of prevention. The cure! The cure! Hurray to finding a cure!
Hmph! the cure is a distraction. We know the prevention at the least. Why is that not displayed on every pink ribbon?
Are we that full of shit that we will spend hundreds of millions towards those that market a cure that we don't even suspect a prevention?

Traditional trumps trendy for the summer 2011
Published: Wednesday, September 22, 2010 at 4:19 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, September 22, 2010 at 4:23 p.m.
MILAN — A snappy Gucci collection opened the Milan fashion week and set the mood for the spring-summer 2011 — Italian style.
Outlandish fashion falls flat in these days of crisis, with designers preferring a return to the "oldies but goodies," which don't have to pass the test of time.
Frida Giannini, the Roman designer who took over the reins at Gucci several years ago, dips into the horsey past of the Florentine house for inspiration, especially for her handbags, but never succumbs to nostalgia.
The show presented Wednesday, the first day of the six-day preview showings, is colorful and fast-moving with a sophisticated elegance gleaned from a 1970's feel and a Mediterranean allure.
High-waisted tulip skirts share the runway with harem pants. Softly tailored men's jackets compete with fitted riding jackets and bomber jackets. Bright shades of orange, purple and green contrast with safari beige and basic black.
The 1970's glam is most evident in a series of hot evening dresses in colorful metallic satin with intricate fringe detailing. Daytime is cinched by a gold belt with playful tassels.
Tassels also play a major role in the bag department. Mini shoulder bags with prominent stitching are decorated with tassels, as is the new "Snaffle Bit Bag" which harks back to the original saddle bag with horse-bit clasp. A darker version of the famous bamboo handle is another tribute to past Gucci glory.
The latest Gucci footwear — sandals with python detailing and metallic heel, and ultra-light basket-weave boots — is very contemporary and very high.
Later Wednesday, Alberta Ferretti presented a collection that reached way back into the annals of fashion to the days of romantic maidens. Somewhere between a Greek nymph and a Shakespearian Ophelia, the Ferretti fairy floats down the runway in flat floral sandals and diaphanous gowns, seemingly unaware of the crisis-ridden world around her.
She is a nature girl with long flowing hair and no makeup who loves flowers, whether they be delicately stitched onto her clothes or worked into lovely floral chiffon prints. Natural shades of green and beige are her favorites. Should she feel a chill she wraps herself in a delicate silk knit sweater.
Ferretti's option is quite contemporary. The Italian designer represents that portion of modern women who prefer a romantic rather than edgy approach to fashion.
The alluring styles can be either short or long, but never sexy. They caress rather than grab the body, and their transparency is more a hint than a revelation.
Over the next six days more than 60 of Italy's top ready to wear designers, including such high-end labels as Armani, Cavalli, Dolce&Gabbana, Fendi, Ferre, Prada, and Versace will present their latest warm weather wears.

Hey! If we are talking about Versailles.. Maybe it's what Anthenais de Montespan wore when she and the Sun King slid behind a bush, during walks in the royal gardens.
I also had to grow older to appreciate it. When I was young, I disliked it because I thought it smelled cheap and skanky. It still smells a little skanky, to me, but in a GOOD way. I think as we age,...
My mother always opined that only brunettes can wear Caron. She was right, at least in my case. ;-(. She often wore Nuit de Noel as a wintry evening perfume. It smelled heavenly on her!
Vintage Vent Vert. Sometimes you can get it reasonable priced on eBay.
Possets: Great Psychiatrist of Babylon. Best black vanilla on the planet!
Two, one old, one new: Vintage Chantilly, Possets Dangerous Oil. YUM!
Comforting: Angel, or Ambergris by Madini.
Sexiest: SLF by Love Potions Magickal Perfumarie
I did quite well with Tea Rose for YEARS. It trails so nicely.
SLF by Love Potions Magickal Perfumarie. But, it's civet, amber, and musk, and loaded with pheromones.
Prophecy by Prince Matchabelli, and F# by.. I forgot. And, no, I don't like either.
Civit is the one that I can't get enough of.
Alma de Alma by Madini doesn't CLAIM civet, but it smells of it, to me.
Love Potions Magical Perfumarie's SLF has civet AND copulins. Very sexy.
SLF by Love Potions Magickal Perfumary. Contains (synthetic) civet and copulins.
"Arousah" means "bride." They also have an "Arous." I LOVE their "Balkis" (Queen of Sheba) fpr women.
Cobalt Blends Black Sugar. YUMMMM!
Leme see.. F# by Faberge, Straw Hat, and Kiku, same. Prophecy by Prince Matchabelli, L'Origan by Lanvin. And, I have a horrible story about Desert Flower by Shulton.
Every time I wore Molinard de Molinard, I got compliments! For YEARS!
That would be Black Sugar by Cobalt Blends.
Seconded! Plus Pour Un Homme and, above all, Eau de Freshly Showered Bod!
I'm thinking about that one. I just bought a bunch more Madini.
I remember when a good perfume contributed to one's "aura of mystery." Making an entrance in a beautiful dress, surrounded by a delicious cloud of shifting and evolving layers of... oh, well!
Yes, and I've been sold "vintage" on eBay that.. wasn't.
Yeah, it has a tiny shade of mens cologne. But, to me it's very womanly and feminine. Like Marlena Dietrich wearing trousers. I would recommend it for women.
Me neither. Not ONCE!
I got my latest button pushed, yesterday. I bought some Arpege and My Sin, because my mother used to wear them. Not even CLOSE. Hence, the tantrum.
Why are perfume "upadates" so inferior? They seen to range from thin or cheapish to downright unrecognizable?
Thanks! :-(
..and Ambergris is showing as the Top Seller. No surprise, here~
IMVHO, Ambergris is the Holy Grail, or very close to it.
If you annointed yourself with amber, then put on a warm sweater, to...
I'm wearing Ambergris, today. Don't be fooled.. it's the smokiest, dead-sexiest amber you'll ever swoon over. Guys have followed me, on the street, to ask what I'm wearing.
I have quite a few of...
I second MADINI, as abysmally underrated. Or, a best-kept secret!:-)
My mother (who smelled GREAT in Nuit de Noel) always told me that Caron scents are for brunettes, and for snowy winters.
I'm a redhead. I think she was right. I smell like a candle shop.
Chanel #5. Someone once gave me a large bottle of it. It'sm SO sweet on me, it makes my teeth hurt! Nausea and headache follow. :-(
When I was younger, I LOVED Youth Dew. Now, I feel like it...

The Clean Water Act at 40:
There's Still Much Left to Do
The Clean Water Act of 1972, one of the boldest environmental laws ever enacted, turns 40 this year, with an impressive record of cleaning up America's waterways. But from New York Harbor to Alaska's Bristol Bay, key challenges remain.
by paul greenberg
When you turn 40, three questions inevitably arise:
1) Who am I?
2) What have I done?
3) What else can I do?
Forty years ago, the U.S. Congress, in an uncharacteristically uncowardly move, overwhelmingly overrode President Nixon's veto and passed the most powerful law for the protection of water in American (and perhaps world) history. Yes, this year the Clean Water Act officially enters its midlife crisis years.
Since it is a law, and not a person, we won't expect it to buy a red sports car and hook up with another law half its age. But having aged and weathered and yet oftentimes stood firm against its adversaries even if its knees became not quite what they used to be, it is worth asking this much buffeted piece of legislation in its 40th year, the three essential questions of mid-life.
So, to begin with, Clean Water Act, who are you?
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972, known as The Clean Water Act was not the first piece of federal legislation to protect water. But it was the first time that real power was invested with the federal government to make sure that water got clean and stayed clean. Its essential demand, that all waterways in the United States be "fishable and swimmable" by 1985 was remarkable in its forthrightness. It invested the Environmental Protection Agency with the power to prosecute "point source polluters," i.e. commercial enterprises directly responsible for fouling the water. No longer was the onus on citizens to prove the value of clean water. Rather the burden was switched to industry. Industry had to prove that its actions did not impinge upon what became codified as an American right to fish and swim, safely, in public waterways.
Next, Clean Water Act, what have you done?
View gallery
Cleveland Press Collection/
Cleveland State University
The Cuyahoga River in Cleveland caught fire regularly through the 1950s and 1960s, including this 1952 blaze.
Are all public American waterways fishable and swimmable as they were mandated to be by 1985? They most assuredly are not. But the most egregious aspects of the abuse of water have stopped. Cleveland's Cuyahoga River no longer catches fire, as it did regularly, throughout the 1950s and 60s. A corporation can no longer spill oil into the sea and expect to escape without a fine. Indeed, the billions of dollars British Petroleum will undoubtedly have to pay in the coming years as a result of the 2010 Gulf Spill are made possible by the instruments of the Clean Water Act.
And these gains extend from the broadly national to the intimately local. Because of the Clean Water Act, New York City now has more than a half-dozen public swimming events in New York Harbor, including a 28.5-mile loop of Manhattan that will take place this June. Because of the Clean Water Act, oysters placed on six test reefs in an experiment coordinated by the Hudson River Foundation in 2010 found enough dissolved oxygen to survive, raising the possibility that oysters could once again become an integral part of the Hudson River estuary. But there is still a lot of work to be done.
Which leads us to, Clean Water Act, what else can you do?
It is a remarkable achievement that point-source polluters can now be monitored and often controlled. But there still remain two vital areas of clean water protection that have yet to be brought in line. The first is the control of "nonpoint source" polluters — the diffuse negative impacts of humanity in general. While it is fairly straightforward to identify a pesticide manufacturer that is dumping its effluent into a waterway and sue it because of that violation, it is considerably more difficult to mitigate the effects of private citizens whose brazen acts of clean water abuse often consist simply of flushing their own toilets. Because of outdated and overloaded wastewater treatment plants, for example, raw sewage still pours into New York Harbor through "combined sewage overflows" whenever it rains more than a tenth of an inch. We need to figure this piece of the puzzle out, not only through large-scale modernization and expansion of sewer systems but also by establishing tax incentives for the implementation of innovative storm water sequestering technologies like green roofs.

Because of the Clean Water Act, water quality in New York's Hudson River has improved dramatically in the last four decades.
The other trick the old dog might pull off in its middle years is to let its bite finally exceed its bark on a critical area of its jurisdiction. Section 404c of the Act allows the EPA to protect waterways that support shellfish beds, fish spawning grounds, wildlife zones, and recreational areas. As I write these words, proponents for the development of the gargantuan "Pebble Mine" copper and gold prospect in Alaska's Bristol Bay are already denouncing a recently completed EPA "watershed assessment" of the region even before the public has gotten a chance to look at it. This assessment will almost certainly provide the scientific justification for a 404c action that will protect Bristol Bay — home to the largest concentration of wild salmon left on earth. EPA could effectively protect the area — and its half-billion dollar a year fishing industry — as a vast, commercially productive wild salmon reserve. The Clean Water Act might just have the teeth to do that; but this old guard dog must be loosed for the attack for the law to become all that it was meant to be.
A bold promise. A lot, but not enough, accomplished. Many interesting and important things still left to do. If I were turning 40 this year, I would find that summing up of my life-to-date cause for pride, anxiety and hope. Such a summing up might even make me feel a little bit young. There are many out there for whom 40 is just the start of the most meaningful part of their lives. As they say nowadays, 40 is the new 30.

Strange this article fails to rmention the CWA exemption for hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") which essentially allows the shale gas industry to vitiate everything the CWA has ever achieved and contaminate all the groundwater in the US with exotic organic and other chemicals. Turning 40 is an existential dilemma because of the contemplation of one's own mortality — here the CWA has ceased to matter in any meaningful way as regards groundwater and runoff into riverine and wetland ecosystems (no doubt some will claim I exaggerate) because of a politically determined Bush era (Obama is no better) exemption, so there is little to look forward towards as regards the CWA.

"...essentially allows the shale gas industry to "violate "everything the CWA has ever achieved and contaminate all the groundwater in the U.S. with exotic organic and other chemicals."
Posted by Mary Munn on 24 May 2012
A great act, indeed. Hope we could have more around the world, especially in the Niger Delta where oil spills are rampant.
To the comment above, shale oil and gas is not a major threat in the U.S where technology is monitored by law. In other places with less regulation? Probably not.

Point/Counterpoint: Should
Green Critics Reassess Ethanol?
by timothy e. wirth and c. boyden gray
Former U.S. Senator Timothy Wirth and former White House Counsel C. Boyden Gray argue that environmental criticisms of corn ethanol are unwarranted and that the amount in gasoline should be increased. In rebuttal,

The revisionist effort to increase the percentage of ethanol blended with U.S. gasoline continues to ignore the major environmental impacts of growing corn for fuel and how it inevitably leads to higher prices for this staple food crop. It remains a bad idea whose time has passed.

Marking as a current event[edit]
I think it's fair to say it qualifies as a current event, as the perpetrator has yet to be caught and this is linked to from the news section on the Main Page. I'm adding {{current}} to the page. Jrothwell (talk) 06:25, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
Is "spree" an appropriate title for this article? A simple "shooting" would suffice by itself. Alastairward (talk) 09:34, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
Homophobic violence[edit]
I have removed the categorization of this crime as being part of homophobic violence. It seems whoever tagged it this way simply assumed this without checking the latest news. No perpetrator has been caught, no claim of responsibility has been issued and there is no evidence, that has been released to the media, that the crime was due to homophobia or that the assailant was anti-gay. With luck, in coming days, the nature of the heinous crime will come to light when the male, or female, murderer is caught. Until then very little is known. My reason for changing the category and type of crime is entirely based on the 'Haaretz' headline that declares "shooting may not have been hate crime"[1]. Haaretz is the newspaper of record in Israel and can be trusted to be on top of the latest information. Seth J. Frantzman (talk) 11:52, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
- Haaretz is definitely not the newspaper of record in Israel, if only there was one. But, one on hand Haaretz a main outlet for liberal readersm but the tabloids will have the juicier details. You are right in neutralizing any finger pointing at this time. There is a gag order on any new information and speculation is just a waste of time at this point.--Shuki (talk) 20:33, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
Removal of homophobic violence tag is wrong. Emerging details point to a personel vendenta that was at its core rooted in anti-gay feelings. Others have pointed out that once the intended victim was not found at the site, the decision to shoot up the venue demonstrated animus towards the group and was homophobic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 03:02, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
- I agree. Edenc1 • Talk 14:44, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
- "the decision to shoot up the venue demonstrated animus towards the group and was homophobic" - while this is probably true, it is currently only speculation. In theory the shooter might have done the same if the vendeta was against a supermarket owner or a bank manager. Until we hear the shooters version in court or elsewere we can only guess his motives.
