Aqua De Gio is soo good, but my favorite from Armani is Black Code (MMmmm I love it!). Also, Pi by Givenchy is fabulous. These are both warm scents, and just makes me want to cuddle the guy so that I can smell them! Honestly! But a tip– go into a department store and try the cologne on your skin before you buy, fragrances can smell different on different people, depending on how it reacts with your body chemistry

You have to go Google images site
http://images.google.com/

rmahadevan answers:

Google does have a user powered program that gets people to ‘tag’ random images for fun in their spare time. The more times an image is tagged with related keywords, the more confident Google can be that the image is what people are saying it is, and eventually those tags will be used to find that picture in the search results.

This is not the only way Google does it though. They do have computer algorithms that analyze and sort images very efficiently (it’s the only way possible, even a team of hundreds of users could never tag every image out there).

Google Images also has an option to search for images with faces. I believe this uses the same algorithm used in Google Street View to identify and blur faces. Some people comment on the fact that it’s pretty good at picking up faces even when they are not real, in one case the logo for KFC was blurred.

The algorithm for safe filtering is not perfect though… There are still things that can get through, especially if you use unusual search terms. I am studying Computer Science at University and in my opinion, the safe search option is done using a combination of algorithms and human intervention to help remove offending content that was not caught by the system automatically (as I noted earlier, this can only be done for a limited number of popular search terms though, so not everything gets filtered).

The algorithm most likely uses one of two methods (or both):
A) Identify the image as safe or not by determining whether the webpage it is hosted on is ‘safe’. This is most likely done by analyzing words on the page in a similar way to how Google indexes pages in the text search. This can’t be the only way since I know of websites that have completely unrelated text that don’t have their images show up in the ‘safe’ search.
B) Attempt to identify pornography by either measuring the ratio of skin-tone colours to non skin-tones (i.e. Try to determine how much ‘skin’ is showing) or using object recognition to identify ‘offending’ areas of the human body such as breasts or genitalia.

I should also mention that there is a report feature users can utilize to report offending images. This also helps filter out much of ‘unsafe’ images from popular search terms.

rmahadevan answers:

Try Google Image Downloader.

Its free and lets you download up to 64 images at a time. You can add constraints like, Safe Filtering, Size, Color, Rights etc. Too!

Http://www.googleimagedownloader.com/

“Google Image Downloader (GiD) allows you to download images by entering a search term. It then hits the internet and downloads the full sized images from all of the sites Google images returns. So what does this mean to you?”

There are other programs that do this but I don’t have any experience with them. GiD works well for me.

rmahadevan answers:

The classic would be a Patek Philippe Calatrava, but one of the Seiko dress watches below would be a fine, frugal choice. For a dress watch—or interview watch, as you put it—ignore the puerile trend of huge watches and choose a classic size: about 32mm. You’re on the right track looking for a gold watch with a leather strap; you want a traditional style neither oddly plain nor grossly embellished.

Calatrava:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calatrava_(watch)

(Most watches come with a black strap so, if you find a watch that you love, buy it and replace the strap with a brown one.)

A very quick introduction to watches and then, below, some suggestions:

Watch lovers love mechanical watches. Mechanical watches are anachronistic; quartz watches are more accurate and less expensive. Good mechanical watches can cost tens of thousands of dollars but are intended to last decades or longer. Patek Philippe, Rolex, and others make watches at this level.

Most people do not want such an expensive watch, and watches in the $30+ range are accurate and reliable. (Timex makes watches at this level.)

For a bit more, you can choose a watch with better finishing details and have more options (style-wise). If you’re willing to spend up to $200 or so you can choose from innumerable styles of quartz watches that will be well-made and reliable. Watches at this level will be steel and, if you wish, gold-plated. Seiko and many others make watches at this level.

(In between extremely good mechanical watches and $200 watches are quartz watches made by serious watch companies that also make mechanical watches. These watches are made of gold so they cost quite a bit more than $200, and their finishing detail is usually very well done. Watches in this range might cost from $1,200 to $15,000+. Baume et Mercier and many others make watches at this level.)

For your first watch, look at Seiko, among others. They make many different styles, their quality is good, and you’ll be happy with one as your first.

All Seiko men’s watches at Amazon:

rmahadevan answers:

The name is everything, tiffanys, cartier, rolex are known for quality and basically being the best, your watch will not acrew a massive amount of value till after about 50 years, leave it to your grand kids and they may be able to buy a house with it

rmahadevan answers:

I Don’t know if this is the same one you’re looking for, but because you said you couldn’t find it anywhere, I’m guessing its the discontinued “Cartier W50001R2 Tank Francaise Large Solid 18k Gold Watch – Silver Dial”.

If that’s it, then its Retail Price:
$22,900.00

and the model number is: CARTIER-W50001R2

Hermes does not permit the sale of Birkin bags through any online retailers, nor do they sell them online. While you may seen them on second-hand sites, like eBay, you’ll never see an authentic bag being sold through retailers.

I hope you realize that Birkin bags are not the type you just go to your local department store and pick one up. You have to special order them and, at the moment, the waiting list is about two years. They are also very expensive. They start at about $5000, but can reach into the 6 digits ($100,000 and up).

rmahadevan answers:

Ebay has certain things in place to protect you from buying a bad bag. If by chance you do get a bad bag, report it, and the other person wont get paid (if you have paypal)

NYC is the worst place to go, if you’re concerned about buying fakes. I estimate that 3/4 of the handbags in NYC are fake. You can probably find a bag that looks like the one you want, of similar quality in NYC for $40.

Try contacting Birkin, it’s really the only way. They wont sell online, or distribute… So the only 100% sure way, is to contact them.

BTW, if you can find a Hermes Birkin for $1800 (in good shape) you are lucky. They get more expensive the older they are (if they are in good shape) It’s probably going look more like a $4000- $6000 range.

rmahadevan answers:

You will NEVER, and I mean NEVER, find any designer bag you listed, except Coach for $300. Authentic Valentino, Hermes,Chanel, and LV bags are around $2,000. The cheapest AUTHENTIC bag you’ll find, are used/vintage bags. You can look here, but you probably will not find anything near $300, http://www.malleries.com/

Well, hard to say, as FM and DM issued so many different types of products. Just in the Modern Mint issues of tokens and medals, there are dozens of Mints: A PARTIAL list includes Capitol Medals, The Columbian Mint, Firts Georgia Mint, Galaxy Mint, Gorham Mint, Hamilton Mint, Hoffman Mint, Hutt River Province, Lincoln Mint, Longines Symphonette Society, Medallic Art Co., Mount Everest Mint, Pacific Mint, Wellings Mint, etc.

For a more complete list, see reference.

Now, if you are discussing model cars, Yes, there are other issues of die-cast cars (but I don’t have a complete list). FM issued DOLLS, Knives, Swords, Toys, Sculpture, and lots more.

Try a Yahoo! Search on the TYPE of item you are seeking

First, I doubt that the radio is from 1940. American broadcast on FM bands did not begin until after WWII. So I seriously doubt that there was an am/fm radio being produced BEFORE the war. From what I could uncover, I think that model was produced in the 1960s. Once again, before radios started using transistors, they all ran on tubes. And a tube radio would be way to big to be a clock radio on a bedstand. Once again, indicating that it is from the 60s.

In terms of price, I couldn’t find anything.

You can wear anything you like no matter how old you are, seriously. When i was in 8th grade i wore Azzaro Chrome (its perfume for men, though it smells unisex IMO). And i got lots of compliments from both genders. So if you like Daisy, just wear it. It smells great, personally

anyway, here’s some other scents i think you might like-

Valentino Rock n Rose
Moschino Funny
Moschino Light Clouds
Agua de Loewe
Sarah Jessica Parker Covet
Tommy Hilfiger Dreaming
Versace Baby Rose Jeans
Gap Grass
Bvlgari Omnia Green Jade
Carolina Herrera So Chic

Van Cleef & Arpels First Premier Bouquet
YSL Paris Roses Des Vergers

Ok, I’m not sure if this is good, but if she is girly I think maybe a nail polish kit would be cool. You can buy a container, put assorted nail polish in it, a nail file, stickers for her nails, maybe nail clippers, and nail polish remover. Etc. I have done this for a few friends, and it always seems to work out well.

The perfume is also a good idea.

I bought a Tag Heuer Formula 1 when I was 18 as a graduation gift to myself. I wore it every day in college and I still wear it to this day as part of my watch collection (I’m 26). So long as you can truly afford it, and I don’t mean just barely have enough, then go for it. However, I will say that having extra money in college is awesome. It would be better to save that money for college so that you can afford to have fun. You will have plenty of time and money after graduation to buy a Tag or an even better luxury watch. In the end, this America and you are free to do what you want.
