On 19 August 2003, a meeting on compensation for land lost for protected areas and other protected estates was organized by the Africa Biodiversity Collaborative Group (ABCG).
Compensation for loss of land (and natural resource) rights, interest in land, or value added to land is an important tool to address the socioeconomic impacts of policy and project developments. Compensation is paid to insure that those people affected by a development will be as well-- if not better-- off after the project is completed as they were before it started. In Africa, compensation is a common component of the design of certain types of projects, such as hydropower dams and large-scale mining operations, although the affected people are not always paid or adequately compensated. Historically, compensation has not been a common consideration for people affected by the establishment of a new protected area or by raising the legal status of an existing protected area. Rather, other tools have more often been used, including resettlement, benefit-sharing, and job training. Increasingly, however, compensation is being considered by the biodiversity conservation community for people affected by projected areas.
Three African legal experts (from Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda) shared experiences on compensation from their countries. Respondents from Conservation International, World Wildlife Fund, and Wildlife Conservation Society discussed examples of their organizations' work on compensation issues.
Read the meeting summary here. The powerpoint presentations and other meeting materials can be found under Tools & Resources.

The author Daniel Quinn has written several fiction and non-fiction books addressing the future of humanity. He emphasizes the tribalistic cultures of antiquity (10,000 ka) to demonstrate the lack of human egoism prior to the agricultural revolution and Abrahamic religion. His advocation of contemporary tribalism calls for a major shift in human cultural perception.
I have personally read all of Quinn's publications dealing with this subject and am still bound up in his enigmatic conclusions (other than the idea that things must change in order for us to survive).
Quinn seems to be a pantheist, which Dawkins refers to as "sexed up atheism" in The God Delusion. Quinn doesn't seem to have an underlying religious agenda condoning atheism. He even defends the Old Testament from accusations of being the origin of human egoism in his novel "Story of B".
As an atheist I find Quinn's books useful tools for endowing doubt in religious peoples. However, I concede perhaps 60% of Quinn's ideals.
The purpose of this post is to see what others think of Quinn and his position.

EAST WILLIAMSON - A Tuesday afternoon collision that occurred at the junction on Rt. 49 and U.S. Rt. 52 at the Rawl exit resulted in one person being transported to a local hospital for injuries she sustained while another received traffic citations.
According to Williamson City Police Officer J. Tincher, a 2102 Toyota Tacoma operated by Ruth White of Merrimac, failed to yield to a stop sign as she was attempting to enter U.S. 52 from Rt. 49 in East Williamson. White's truck slammed into a 2003 Dodge Intrepid that was driven by Lucita Prater, of Red Jacket that was heading out of Williamson on U.S. Rt. 52. Both vehicles sustained moderate damage, with the Dodge receiving the worst end of it.
Prater was transported to the Williamson Memorial Hospital by STAT Ambulance and was complaining with right arm, left leg, neck and back pain. White was not injured in the mishap and refused medical treatment.
The officer administered a three-part field sobriety test to White, which she completed successfully. She was cited for expired vehicle registration and failure to yield. The Toyota was able to be driven from the scene but the Dodge had to removed from the roadway by Duba's Wrecker Service. Members of the Williamson Fire Department responded to the scene and assisted with patient care, traffic control and road clean-up.

Perfect for Colorado!
It was great to be able to order just one sample card. I am a hands on person and am always uncomfortable ordering online, however I was able to feel it and see the colors up close and was able to make the decision to order this product for our invitations. I also liked being able to coordinate the colors for the information card to our wedding invite! It was very easy to customize and really make it your own in order to achieve the style or theme you are going for. I give it two thumbs up.

4/29/14 Clooney's Parents Confirm Engagement
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, April 29, 2014
GEORGE CLOONEY still hasn't confirmed that he's engaged to attorney Amal Alamuddin . . . but his PARENTS did. Yesterday, Nick Clooney told "Entertainment Tonight", quote, "We are very happy for them. She is a lovely girl." And his mother Nina said, quote, "You can say I'm extremely happy. Amal's a lovely girl."
MILEY CYRUS is ready to get back on the road after spending almost a week in the hospital. She even rescheduled the tour dates she had to miss when she landed in the hospital with an allergic reaction. She says the ordeal was "scary", but sitting in the hospital for almost a week was "boring".
The issue of "Vogue" with KIM KARDASHIAN and KANYE WEST on the cover is on track to sell up to 500,000 copies, which easily eclipses recent best-selling issues featuring BEYONCÉ and MICHELLE OBAMA on the covers. So much for people saying they're "over" the Kardashians.
Tori Spelling didn't let a little thing like being hospitalized keep her from her beloved television crew. Tori brought the cameramen from her Lifetime show True Tori with her on a recent six day hospital stay, due in part to the drama in her life. The insider says, "She's very stressed right now." No doubt that stress is coming from hubby Dean McDermott's cheating scandal, which is the major theme in the new reality show.
4/28/14 George Clooney Engaged!

Monday, April 28, 2014
If this is true, it changes everything we thought we knew about the universe and everything in it: GEORGE CLOONEY appears to be ENGAGED. There's no official word from Clooney, but "serious" websites like People.com and E! Online are reporting it as FACT.
Reportedly George is engaged to attorney Amal Almuddin. They've been dating for about seven months. She's 36, he's 52. If this really happens, she'll be George's second wife. A source says, quote, "They are trying to keep things very low-key but they also aren't really trying to hide this. I think it's like they want the people they love to know that this is real, that they plan on being together forever."
KIM KARDASHIAN and KANYE WEST might get married THREE TIMES. A source says they're having a civil ceremony in the U.S. before leaving for Paris, just to make sure they're legally hitched. But once they get to France, the law dictates that they have to have a civil ceremony THERE before they can have a religious wedding.
Police have potential evidence linking JUSTIN BIEBER to the egging of his neighbor's house back in January. Tape from Justin's own security cameras show him in the area of the egging, where he's hiding behind a car AND high-fiving another guy.
Selena Gomez and Orlando Bloom were caught together attending Chelsea Handler's show at the Forum on Saturday night. They arrived in the same car, and later left together. Bloom is currently going through a friendly divorce from supermodel wife Miranda Kerr, while Gomez has been on and off with Justin Bieber. While Gomez and Bloom spent time together in LA, Bieber was in New York.

Justin Bieber was detained at LAX for five hours by customs, as he came back to the United States. He arrived at the airport from Singapore around on Thursday, and a source says that he was pulled aside by 'secondary questioning' from U.S. immigration officials. As he left LAX, he was seen sticking his tongue out and grabbing his crotch as he ran out of the airport with his bodyguards.
"Time" magazine has released its annual list of the 100 Most Influential People. There are FOUR different covers, which went to Beyoncé, Robert Redford, gay NBA player Jason Collins, and General Motors CEO Mary Barra. The list also includes: Matthew McConaughey, Miley Cyrus, Carrie Underwood, Pharrell, Hillary Clinton and President Obama.
Sharon Stone was reportedly admitted to a hospital in Brazil earlier this month after hosting a benefit for AIDS research. Stone was treated for two days at the Syrian-Lebanese Hospital with local media reporting that she suffered from a possible stroke.
Amanda Bynes is on the road to recovery and now back on the road behind the wheel of a car. According to DMV records in California, the Amanda has gotten her driver's license back after it was taken away in 2012 following two hit-and-runs and a DUI arrest. She was recently spotted driving a BMW with her father. The 28-year-old claims she is no longer on medication but is still under her mother's legal control until at least September.
On a British talk show yesterday, LINDSAY LOHAN says it's been, quote, "a long amount of time" since she's had a drink. But she admitted it was AFTER she got out of rehab. She said, quote, "There was a point on the show when I was in a relationship with someone, and I, like, had a drink and I freaked out and didn't want to say anything on the show because I didn't know how that would come across and I was just scared. And that's when it kind of hit home that I was doing a docu-series, and I was like you know what, I'm honest and I'm open and I've never really hid anything."
RICHARD GERE plays a homeless man in his upcoming movie "Time Out of Mind". On Tuesday, he walked around New York in character, while movie cameras secretly filmed him. He was eating a burger out of a garbage can and drinking a beer from a brown bag, and he was so convincing, nobody recognized him. One woman even gave him FOOD in an "I Love New York" bag.
4/24/14 "People" Mag's Most Beautiful
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, April 24, 2014
LUPITA NYONG'O tops "People" magazine's Most Beautiful list. She says that when she was young, she equated beauty with what she saw on TV . . . quote, "light skin and long, flowing, straight hair." But she adds, quote, "[My mother] always said I was beautiful. And I finally believed her at some point." Some of the other women on this year's list are Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lawrence, Julianna Margulies, Keri Russell, Jenna Dewan-Tatum, Mindy Kaling, Pink, Amber Heard, Gabrielle Union, Molly Sims, Stacy Keibler and Kerry Washington.
KRISTEN STEWART has reportedly found love again . . . with a FEMALE friend. Her name is Alicia Cargile, and she was there to pick up the pieces after Kristen got DUMPED by ROBERT PATTINSON. The two recently went to a resort in Palm Springs together, and a source says, quote, "She put her arms around Kristen's neck and Kristen put her hands on her waist. After about 30 seconds, Kristen started laughing, kissed Alicia right on the lips then rested her head on Alicia's chest and hugged her tight."
OLIVIA WILDE and JASON SUDEIKIS are officially parents. Olivia actually gave birth to a baby boy on Sunday, but they didn't announce it until yesterday. They named him Otis. Olivia Teeted a picture of herself with her new baby, and captioned it, quote, "Ladies and gentlemen, Otis Alexander Sudeikis has LEFT the building! (I'm the building)."
ALICIA SILVERSTONE has a new parenting book, and it's as loopy as you'd expect. Alicia rails against diapers, tampons and a non-plant-based diet, which according to her fills the uterus with TOXIC SLUDGE. She's also anti-vaccine, and thinks kids and parents should sleep together in a "family bed."
JUSTIN BIEBER apologized for praying at a Japanese shrine honoring war criminals. He'd posted a photo at the shrine with the caption, quote, "Thank you for your blessings." He later took it down, and said, quote, "I was misled to think the shrines were only a place of prayer. To anyone I have offended I am extremely sorry."

Wednesday, April 23, 2014
DREW BARRYMORE and her husband Will Kopelman welcomed a baby girl yesterday. They named her Frankie Barrymore Kopelman. This is their second child. Their first, a daughter with the even LESS normal name of Olive, is 19 months old. Drew is 39 . . . Will is 36.
Just because CAMERON DIAZ is 41 and childless, that doesn't mean she's BARREN. She says, quote, "If I wanted kids, at any point in life, I would have them. But I'm certain that if at any point I wanted a child, that child would find its way into my life, whether through adoption, or through being in a relationship with somebody who has a child." Cameron also wants you to know, quote, "I don't believe in antiperspirant. It's really bad for you. I haven't used it for almost 20 years." She adds, quote, "You're stinky, because you use antiperspirant. It keeps all the stink in. "Let it go and just trim your armpit hair so it doesn't hold onto the scent."
A list of Hollywood's worst tippers includes Sean Penn, Madonna, Bill Cosby, Britney Spears, Tiger Woods and Rachael Ray . . . who actually believes waiters and waitresses should only be tipped $7. Britney Spears once threw change at the feet of a valet attendant and said, "There's your tip." She also left a $26 tip on a $500 bill, which comes to 5%.
After attending church on Easter Sunday, KRIS JENNER hit up a pot dispensary called Dementia, where she bought a $200 bong. Kris says she isn't taking up a new hobby . . . she bought it for her MOTHER.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
Applied Behavior Analysis Services at All Children's Hospital offers individualized assistance for children with challenging behavior, their families, and other caretakers, as well as supports professionals from various other disciplines at ACH. ABA Services are designed to identify the purposes behavior serves for a child and to develop interventions focused on preventing problems, teaching replacement skills, and responding effectively to behavior. The goals of intervention are not only to improve behavior, but also to enhance the overall quality of life for children and families.
At All Children's Hospital, our highly trained behavior analysts and behavioral parent educators provide services for children from birth to 21 years of age with diagnoses that include neurological and developmental disabilities, autism, ADD/ADHD, conduct disorders, and other conditions that affect the children's behavioral functioning.
ABA Services are appropriate for children engaging in behavior that…
- Endangers the child, family members, or other people
- Damages the child's surroundings or personal property
- Disrupts family, school, or community activities
- Interferes with the child's development of new skills
- Restricts social contact or participation in integrated settings
ABA Services include:
Individualized ABA Services
When a child is referred to ABA Services, the behavior analyst will work with the family (and other professionals, as appropriate) to:
- Identify specific behaviors of concern and goals for the child and family
- Determine the circumstances affecting the child's behavior and the purposes it is serving
- Create a behavior support plan that includes strategies for families to:
- Prevent problems by changing aspects of the environment
- Teach skills (e.g., communication) to replace challenging behavior
- Respond differently to encourage positive (not problem) behavior
- Provide coaching to assist the family and other caregivers in using the plan
- Monitor and evaluate the outcomes of the interventions
Consultation and Training
The ABA Services staff works with other professionals at ACH and in the community to enhance behavior analytic services and other programs in which treatment outcomes for children could be impeded by behavior challenges. We offer cross-disciplinary training and collaboration at ACH, host annual conferences for local providers to share evidence-based practices and facilitate networking, and offer internship opportunities for Master's and Doctoral-level professionals in training – guiding research to further enhance the quality of care at ACH.

Álamos, Mexico: The Pueblo at the End of the Road
Carne asada grills send tantalizing aromas into the air. Butchers are slapping cuts of pork and beef onto their tile counters. Produce stands are a painter's palette of yellow, orange and green. Shoppers squeeze through the aisles, stopping to chat.
I purchase armloads of mangos and papayas for a pittance, and stroll home through the cobbled streets, hugging the shadows of silver-era mansions built with fast-earned fortunes.
I never tire of the pueblo's small-scale colonial charm or the views over the rooftops to the surrounding Sierra Madre foothills, blanketed in emerald this time of year. Álamos has earned the title of Pueblo Mágico, a distinction bestowed by the Mexican government, in part for its colonial architecture and civic pride, and in part for its tourism potential.
Back home, I unlock the wrought iron gate and step into the central courtyard, grateful that my friends and I were lucky enough to rent one of the pueblo's colonial homes for much of the summer.
A short time later, I hear a cheery "Hola, amigo!" at the front gate. Trini, our Spanish instructor, lets himself in. My friends and I are enrolled in a language program through Álamos Language and Learning - a school that employs local Spanish teachers at a fair, living wage. I pour some strong coffee. We settle in under the shade of the portal and get ready to drill Spanish verb tenses.
During our stay, Trini, an amiable, young Álamos native, assumes many roles: Spanish teacher, self-appointed guide, concierge, and cultural ambassador. To give us "a cultural experience in an authentic Mexican home," as he puts it, he extends an invitation to his parents' home for dinner.
On the appointed evening, Trini and about a dozen of his extended family members welcome us. Trini's parents, speaking slowly in Spanish for our benefit, make a genuine effort to learn about our lives and tell us about theirs.
The next day, my friends return to Tucson for some personal business -- nearly a day's drive and a world away -- leaving me alone in the house for several days. One afternoon, there is a knock at the door. An elderly woman and an entourage of younger women and girls are gathered in front of the house.
The old woman introduces herself, and her daughters and granddaughters. She explains that she was raised in the house, and is curious to see it again. I let them in. The house is a colonial, eleven room quadrangle surrounding a courtyard.
I set out on the short walk to La Parroquia de la Purísima Concepción, Alamos' church, but not to pray for ghosts. I go to admire its 18th century edifice adorned with baroque ornamentation, and to reflect on its history of surviving the plundering of Mexico's revolutions and serving as a fortress protecting the townspeople from indigenous uprisings. I gaze out across the graceful Plaza de Armas with its frilly 19th century gazebo and towering palms. Trini is strolling across the plaza. I invite him to lunch. We take a table at Las Palmeras, a restaurant across the plaza from the church.
Trini explains that the restaurant's owner, Doña Celsa, is an extremely religious woman. At that moment, the shrine's proud creator approaches. She beams that we are surveying her work. Her husband rocks quietly in a chair nearby, taking us in.
Doña Celsa sweeps her arm in front of the shrine, formally presenting it to me. "Eres católico?" she inquires, her gaze hopeful.
Doña Celsa doesn't hold my beliefs against me. Her door is still open for me to eat my way through her menu. Possibly, she thinks her shrine might yet work its magic on me, and in a way it has. It adds yet another dimension to my glimpse into this wonderful corner of Mexico with its affable people and captivating culture.
A comprehensive on-line guide to Álamos is the web site alamosmexico.com. It provides a thorough overview of the pueblo and its surroundings, plus all the basics such as where to stay and where to eat.

Discussion on the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Bill 2015: Shri Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank: 04.03.2015
The Importance And Benefits Of Life Insurance
Have you ever wondered if the bill you pay every month for life insurance is really worth it? Do you see the insurance bill in the stack of all the other bills you have to pay and think maybe you could save some money by getting rid of this one? Well if you have, think again because life insurance is definitely a necessity. This is especially true if you happen to be the main income earner for your household.
To begin with, if you should unexpectedly pass away, the money from your life insurance will enable your family to pay for your final expenses. Although none of like to think about our death, do you want your family left in debt in order to pay for your burial services and casket? These are expenses that will need to be paid. If your life insurance policy exceeds the amount that is needed for your funeral costs, your family won't have to stress over that while they are grieving their loss.
Also, should you happen to die due to an unforeseen accident, you don't want your family to end up struggling financially. You want to have a policy that will get your family through a year at least without needing to readjust their living expenses. This will give your loved ones time to arrange their finances before needing to cope with a drop in income. This is one of the greatest gifts you can provide your family with.
Look to see what different kinds of policies are available to you. If you are in good health and a non smoker, you might be able to get a policy with a much better rate than your current one. Speak with several different agents or visit Taik.org to ask how much insurance you can get from different companies and what it would cost. You may discover it doesn't need to be that expensive in order to have peace of mind. After all, your family definitely deserves to have the reassurance that should the unthinkable happen, you have thought of them ahead of time and planned for their financial well being.
What Is Life Insurance?
There's a popular belief that life insurance is something one can benefit of only after death. This is why many people regard it as an unnecessary expense, something that's not useful during their lifetime.
These people ignore a fact: life insurance is also about the living. It can be about investing your money into stocks and bods, while covering yourself for the event of becoming ill of suffering an accident. Besides, if you do die, a life insurance policy will give your family a better chance to be able to cope with their expenses.
Additionally, the burden of your funeral will seriously affect your family. Funerals aren't cheap and if your family isn't wealthy, they may even be forced to declare bankruptcy or go through a foreclosure process. A simple life insurance policy would have saved them from all that, but it would be too late by then already. Being cautious is a virtue and a sign of respect for your beloved ones. Why throw your death on their shoulders, when you can have everything settled from before?
There are two types of life insurance: term and whole. If you want to know the difference between the two, you could contact an insurance agent and ask for more details. The agent will help you understand what kind of insurance works best for your specific situation and income level, so you can choose the best protection you can afford. You can also go to a life insurance quotes site like Goldsmithinsurance.com to get quote based off of your profile that are VERY accurate.
As a rule of the thumb, the bigger the coverage, the more expensive the life insurance policy will be. The older you are when you buy it, the more you'll have to pay for the same coverage. This is why it's best to get your life policy while you are still young. This is how you'll pay less and go on with your life without worrying your family will have to suffer from financial point of view in the event of your death.
Understanding Life Insurance for Diabetics
When an individual is diagnosed with diabetes, life insurance coverage sold inside the United States can get unaffordable. This is because life insurance insurance companies "rate" or charge a premium based upon an your health conditions. Make sure you shop the entire life insurance marketplace and find a trusted advisor who can help you secure the lowest rates while factoring in your diabetes.
Affordable Life Insurance for Diabetics
Finding affordable life insurance for diabetics is possible. You simply need to know where to look. Certain life insurance companies look at your diabetes more favorably than other companies. So all you have to do if find the company that looks most favorably at YOUR unique situation.
Which is why you need to speak with an agent who knows how to pitch your risk to life insurance underwriters. It's up to your agent to secure the most affordable rates so make sure you find an expert!
Understanding Life Insurance for Diabetics
Many consumers get upset when they find out how expensive life insurance can be if you have diabetes. Life insurance doesn't have to be expensive unless of course you don't have your condition under control. If you have any diabetic complications or high a1c levels, you'll naturally have a hard time finding affordable rates. Our suggestion would be to wait to apply for coverage until you have everything under control.
Life insurance companies are looking for control and compliance. Compliance meaning that you're following your doctors orders and taking your medications on time, every time. Control meaning you have your glucose, blood sugar or a1c levels under control.
For those that do have their diabetes under control, affordable rates are attainable. You can even qualify for life insurance without a medical exam although it would be more expensive. However many diabetics like the convenience of not taking a medical exam.
Also important to understand is Type 1 diabetics will be more expensive than a Type 2 diabetic. That's just the way it is. Type 1 diabetics can ballpark their rates at double the cost of Standard rates if they show control and compliance to medications.
Bottom line is make sure you speak with an independent life insurance agent whose experienced in working with diabetes.
Benefits of Life Insurance
1-As far as affordability is concerned, term life insurance is probably easier to work into any budget and if you have some minor health problems you can even get a no medical exam life insurance policy.
2-There is no end of the policy date to consider with whole life insurance, in fact, so long as it is paid up, you are covered.
3-On the other hand, term life can be selected for a specific period of time, a choice that will likely affect the amount of your premium.
4-Although your premiums may be higher, a term life policy can be purchased by someone who still smokes cigarettes.
5-If you like the thought of saving money for your golden years, whole life insurance is something to consider. This is just like a savings account that covers your life too.
6-Some investors look at whole life as another opportunity to put money aside, reduce tax liabilities, at least until they are ready to cash in.
7-If your health status changes through the life of your term life policy, your rates will not go up, although if you are still alive when the term is up, you will likely have problems renewing it.
8-Both policies will be there for your loved ones when you pass away and both can be adjusted to fit your particular needs.
There is something to be said for an insurance policy that covers all of your acquired bills when you leave this earth, some may think of it as smart, but one thing is for sure, your dependents will thank you for it.
Who is Whole Life Insurance Best For?
Want Permanent Coverage
If you want some kind of permanent life insurance coverage, then whole life insurance may be the best option for you. When you purchase a term life insurance policy, the policy will eventually expire. After that, your policy is worth nothing and you don't have any death benefit for your loved ones. If you want to make sure that your loved ones will always have a death benefit come into them at some point in the future, getting whole life insurance makes sense. You won't have to worry about paying into something for so long and never getting anything back out of it with whole life insurance.
Hands Off Investing
Another reason that you may want to get whole life insurance is so that you can take advantage of "hands off" investing. When you pay your premiums every month or year, part of the money you pay goes to an investment component. Part goes toward the death benefit, but the other part goes to a cash value. This is automatic and requires no effort on your part. Many people say that they're going to buy term life insurance and then invest the amount of money that they save from not buying whole coverage. The problem with this scenario is that they never actually get around to doing it. That option requires you to have the financial discipline to actually do it.
When you put money into a whole life insurance policy, you also do not have to take any time to research investments or choose which investments to put your money into. The insurance company employs fund manager is to do all that for you. You simply make your payments every month and that cash value just automatically goes up. This makes your life a lot easier and you don't have to worry about choosing the investments that are going to perform.
Whole life insurance isn't always the best choice for every person, but it is attractive for many. If you shop around for whole life insurance quotes, you will quickly see that these added features do come with a price. Obtain some traditional life insurance quotes too and do cost-benefits comparison.
Getting The Full Picture On Annuities And Life InsuranceFrom The New York Times. Read the original article here. By PAUL SULLIVAN Published: May 10, 2013
LIFE insurance and annuities are supposed to accomplish straightforward goals: life insurance provides for your family if you die unexpectedly and annuities guarantee a steady stream of income in retirement. But right now, both are being promoted for their tax benefits.
Thomas Pauloski, national managing director at Bernstein Global Wealth Management, says it can be difficult to know what fees will apply to a policy.
Money put into these products grows on a tax-deferred basis just as it does in retirement accounts. In the case of annuities, the money is eventually taxed as ordinary income when it is taken out. With permanent life insurance, the death benefit goes to the beneficiaries free of income tax, but if it is a permanent policy, as opposed to a term policy, the owner of the policy could also borrow against its cash value and never pay income tax on it. (The insurance company charges interest on the borrowed money, though, and that loan reduces the value of the death benefit if it is not paid back.)
And while insurance companies are using the tax issue as a selling point, that is by no means the full picture. I have written recent columns on how this year's tax increases have influenced behavior around estate planning and investments. As in those two cases, the decision to buy various life insurance policies or annuities can be unduly influenced by the tax advantages inherent in insurance. Many policies carry high upfront and management fees, have limited investment options and penalize people for withdrawing their money within a few years of buying the policy or annuity.
With these downsides, insurance companies are regularly looking for reasons to sell their products beyond the death benefits of insurance and the steady income stream of annuities.
"Oftentimes these products are sold based on the moment in time," said Richard Coppa, managing director of Wealth Health, a financial advisory firm. "A couple of years ago, they were sold on guaranteed returns of 6 or 7 percent because people were so fearful. Today, it's uncertainty about taxes because many of the favorable tax treatments out there are subject to negotiation."
He said there were certainly people who were afraid of running out of money in retirement who could benefit from an annuity. He pointed to people with $250,000 to $500,000 in assets who could calculate how much money on top of Social Security they would need and buy an annuity that would cover that.
"I think you really need to run the numbers and understand the charges and compare those to an investment portfolio where you'll get an expected rate of return," he said.
Given the lure of tax-deferred savings, how should people weigh that against the risks and downsides of insurance and annuities?
Thomas Pauloski, national managing director at Bernstein Global Wealth Management and a former insurance company executive, said people could go wrong when they did not fully consider how long they wanted to keep their money in an insurance policy and how much the company was charging them in fees.
If they are going to pull out the money out in a few years, insurance makes little sense since fees will cancel out any gains. What's trickier is knowing what those fees are going to be, even over the long haul.
Mr. Pauloski said among permanent insurance options — as opposed to term insurance, which has no cash value — only so-called private placement life insurance policies were clear about their fees, but that was because these policies were custom-made for someone paying a premium often in excess of $1 million. With more common forms of permanent insurance, like universal and whole life, finding the fees becomes more difficult, he said, because of how they get embedded in the policies.
More confusing still is how the returns on the cash value of the policy are presented, since they can mask the high fees. "Any insurance illustration is going to have a lot of assumptions built into it," he said. "It assumes, for one, that today's pretax dividend is going to continue forever. That is simply not going to happen."
When presented with a proposal for a client, he said he often went back to the insurance company and asked it to redo the calculations with lower, more realistic assumptions. Even that, he said, is not perfect because it assumes a consistency that is unlikely.
With annuities, the fees start to pile up when people elect additional features, like a guaranteed, minimum payout. Those fees reduce the return and the value of the tax deferral.
Since the annuity company paid a commission to the broker who sold the annuity, there are also so-called surrender fees for taking your money out in the first five to 10 years of the annuity.
"My premise is annuities are second only to hedge funds in their ability to separate people from their money," said Richard Del Monte, president of Del Monte Group, an investment adviser. "Generally speaking, they're awful but there are specific situations."
Among Mr. Del Monte's exceptions are older annuities that have high guarantees and favorable terms for adding more money; another is the offerings of stripped-down, low-cost deferred annuities from newer annuity companies. These aim to preserve the benefit of the tax deferral through low management costs and no extras.
Mitchell Caplan, chief executive of Jefferson National, one of those low-cost annuity providers, conducted a study on the value of tax deferral to make the case for his company's offerings. It analyzed what assets were best held in tax-deferred accounts and at what point fees reached a level that negated the benefit of that deferral.
Mr. Caplan said the study found that annuity management fees over 1 percent began to reduce the value of owning assets in a tax-deferred account. (Jefferson National charges a flat annual fee of $240, which, based on its average account size, is about 0.10 percent. It also does not pay commissions to advisers who sell them.)
Joseph W. Spada, senior principal at Summit Financial Resources and a longtime skeptic of annuities, said lower-cost annuities allowed his wealthy clients to own high-tax investments like hedge funds without worrying about their tax consequences. He recommended them, he said, when clients had fully funded all of their other tax-deferred vehicles, like retirement accounts.
For people in high-tax states like New York, this strategy could make particular sense, Mr. Pauloski said. If the return on a hedge fund were 10 percent, an investor in a high-tax state might give up half of that to taxes. If an annuity owned the same fund, though, the return could be closer to 9 percent if the annuity fees were low enough.
Mr. Spada said he put $1.5 million of his own money into a Jefferson National annuity because he could not put any more into his pension plan and wanted to maintain his allocation to high-tax tactical investments in a tax-deferred way.
But he said he also had a client with a net worth of $100 million who put $7 million into one of his annuities. "It's not so he can get more retirement income that he's never going to need," Mr. Spada said. "I told him to let it grow tax-free and leave it to charity or put it into a stretch account and leave it to his kids."
Mr. Spada said that fears over access to the money because of penalties and taxes were overblown when it came to low-fee annuities. If people were able to leave the money in an annuity for 10 years, they would have about the same amount after paying penalties and taxes as they would if the money been in taxable accounts.
Most people do not have millions of dollars to put into these products. They have to consider annuities and insurance in a more basic way.
"What I'm trying to do is to get people to stop thinking about life insurance as a plug-in for something else and start thinking about it as a risk-adjusted investment," Mr. Pauloski said "The one risk we really can't do anything about with our portfolios is an early death and, in the case of annuities, it's outliving our assets. Use those insurance products to provide a better risk-adjusted return over the lifetime of their portfolio."
Information Regarding Supplemental Insurance for Medicare
There are a lot of people who are confused about the details of their health insurance. Many times, they anticipate becoming a beneficiary of Medicare due to the fact that Medicare is not sufficient to completely pay the costs of their medical bills. They believe that this will eliminate their concerns. However, this is far from the truth.
The coverage provided by Medicare merely pays a small part of total medical costs. It is up to the patient to pay the rest of the bill. These medical bills can vary significantly in amount, which makes them hard to predict. This is bad news for people living on fixed incomes.
One solution to this problem is to get an Advantage insurance plan for Medicare. These budget-friendly plans help patients receive complete coverage in addition to peace of mind. They are often referred to as MA plans and they cover the remaining doctor fees and prescription costs left behind by Medicare. For example, you can get a Medicare HMO California plan that covers both health insurance costs and prescription drugs.
It is best to shop around before deciding on a supplemental insurance plan. You should get lots of information from insurance agency regarding the Medigap plans they have available. There are a lot of plans to choose from, so take your time to find the right one that covers all of your medical care requirements and fits your budget.
The majority of insurance providers will gladly listen to your concerns and address your questions. You are not obligated to buy a certain plan just because you ask for information. Obtain information about several different plans and review them on your own time before you make a commitment to buy.
Anyone who is over the age of 65 should seriously think about obtaining a supplemental insurance plan for Medicare. Such plans make it possible to afford the medical care you need without worrying how you will pay for the portion that Medicare does not cover.
A Guide to Medicare Supplement Insurance
If you don't like paying for medical costs that are not covered by your original Medicare Insurance policy, and you can afford it, it is a good idea to buy a Supplement Insurance Plan, also known as Medigap Insurance. These insurance plans were designed to help pay for some of those medical claims that are not paid by Medicare Plan A or Medicare Plan B. I am talking about those annoying extra bills for deductibles, co-payments an co-insurance amounts.
Some of these Supplement Insurance Plans, like medicare supplement plan G and plan F, even have options to pay for medical treatment when you are travelling overseas. It will also cover emergency medical treatment so that you do not have to take out medical insurance when you buy your air tickets. When you are on holiday, you don't want to be worried about what you would do if you suddenly became ill or had an accident and landed up in hospital. A Supplement Insurance Plan will give you peace of mind so that you can enjoy a stress free holiday.
Paying your medical bills is easy with a Medigap insurance policy. Your original Medicare Insurance will pay for the normal approved claims under Plan B, and then Medigap will pick up the balance. The same service will apply when you are hospitalized, or for any other medical services covered under Plan A.
It is important to understand that a Medigap Insurance Plan does not give you extra benefits, but only supplements the benefits you already have with your Original Medicare Insurance policy. Depending on your requirements, there are quite a few options that you can choose from. The best thing to do is to discuss your needs and preferences with your insurance agent. Make sure that you understand exactly which expenses, currently not covered by your Medicare Plan A or B, will be paid for by the Supplement Insurance plan you decide to buy.
Understanding Medicare Supplemental Insurance
Medicare supplemental insurance, also known as Medigap, helps cover some of the costs not covered by Medicare Parts A and B, including co-payments, co-insurance, and deductibles. The money can be used to pay for food and medication, cover lost wages, and handle unexpected expenses. This type of policy is not a replacement for regular health insurance. People who are 65 or older and have enrolled in the Medicare Plan can apply for Medigap.
How Does Medigap Work?
This type of health insurance covers the "gap" between the medical expenses reimbursed by Medicare and the total amount charged. Those who apply for this policy are still in the Medicare program and can keep the same doctors. When you enroll in Medigap, you don't replace or cancel your Medicare membership. This optional backup plan can help pay expenses that your regular health insurance plan doesn't cover.
Medicare supplemental insurance is sold by private companies like AARP and Mutual of Omaha. There are 11 standard plans that vary in price. Each plan fills different "gaps" in Medicare coverage and offers different benefits. Customers can choose only one of these plans. Medigap plan F is the one most often chosen because it fills nearly all of the coverage gaps. If your spouse wants Medigap insurance, he or she will need to purchase a separate policy. Depending on what plan you choose, Medicare supplemental insurance may cover the cost of:
• Medicare Part A co-insurance and hospital benefits
• Medicare Part B co-insurance or co-payment
• Hospice care
• First three pints of blood
• Emergency care abroad
• Skilled nursing care
• Doctor's services
This type of health insurance does not cover private-duty nursing, vision or dental care, long-term care in a nursing home, eyeglasses, and hearing aids. The policy will not pay for prescriptions or prescription co-payments. All companies that offer Medigap insurance must provide the same basic benefits. Not all plans may be available in your state. Medigap doesn't offer prescription drug coverage anymore. If you take medications, you can join a Medicare (Part D) Prescription Drug Plan.
Who Is Eligible for Medicare Supplemental Insurance?
You can apply for a Medigap policy if you are:
• Age 65 or older
• Enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B
• A resident of a state where the policy is offered
If you want to purchase Medigap insurance, you must apply for a policy within six months of turning 65. Medical screening is not required during the open enrollment period. People with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), as well as those who receive Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits are entitled to Medigap insurance regardless of age. This rule is not available in all states. The policy is renewed automatically each year. If you cancel it, you may not be able to get it back or buy a new one.
Saving Money On Auto Insurance
In the present tough economic times you may be looking for ways to save money. Taking a closer look at your household bills can pay huge dividends. One area that most people overlook is their auto insurance because they assume it is a set rate. Here are some areas of your insurance bill to examine.
You might want to do some comparison shopping to make sure your company is giving you the best deal possible. Comparing insurance companies has never been easier, and you probably will not even have to leave home. There are several web sites available that will let you compare insurance companies to get your best deal. Look for sites that specifically cater to the area you live in like this site about Florida auto insurance. Taking some time to research what is out there could equal significant savings.
Your deductible is a good place to look. The insurance company will reward you with lower premiums if you assume more of the financial responsibility of claims. If you are a safe driver, and have minimal claims, a higher deductible might make sense.
Insurance companies also look at the amount of miles you drive each year. Your premium is, in part, calculated from this mileage estimate. Check with your local agent to see if your provider offers discounted rates for lower mileage.
If you drive an older vehicle you might be paying for coverage you don't need. For instance, collision insurance on an older vehicle is often unnecessary. Research the replacement costs of your vehicle, and then compare what you are paying annually for collision coverage. If you are paying more in coverage than what the vehicle is worth, collision coverage doesn't make sense.
Combining all of your insurance needs with one provider can lead to lower premiums. Providers want all of your business, and they are willing to reward you by lowering premiums to get that business. There is also the convenience factor of only having to deal with one company for all of your insurance needs.
Probably the easiest way to save money is to ask about your eligibility for any other discounts. Your company may not disclose all of the discounts they have. Asking is the only way you will ever know if you are missing savings.
These are just a few ways that you can save on your insurance bill. Taking time to research can save a lot of money. Get creative and see if there are other ways that you can save on your auto insurance.

Hey guys! Looks like we're back. So, the lovely and generous people from Ineke(not affiliated) have supplied five samples of their new release, Hothouse Flower(a gardenia soliflore), for sampling/testing. Nice huh?. Really good and prompt communication/customer service. Just great.
Notes of Hothouse Flower:
Top: Earl Grey Tea, Green Foliage, Cypress, Absinthe
Middle: Gardenia, Galbanum, Fig, Frankincense
Base: Guaiacwood, Musk, Corn Silk
So, there is plenty to go around here. Each sample is 1.5 ml. Going to guess four people could easily test from each sample(correct me if I am wrong here?). So, there is up to about 20 spots available. So, please..if you like gardenia or even if you are still looking for one you can enjoy, please sign up. And I really don't wanna hear..'oh, I've been in so many sample passes..I couldn't possibly..', I don't wanna here it, lol. You love perfume, ain't nothin' wrong with that.. There's plenty here for sampling. This is for USA only. So, please, only U.S. requests. Thanks.
I guess I can divide this into 5 groups for now, see how many people are interested. If spots don't fill up, I will adjust the numbers.
Slot #1 members, please PM your name and mailing address to me.
Slot #2, #3, #4 in each group can message their name and address to the person who will be shipping to them. Please post your impressions, thoughts, reviews for this scent, whatever they may be. So basically, sample, review it and then pass to the next person as soon as possible.
Just a note..if using a bubble mailer, be sure to use plenty of bubble wrap/good packing methods to ensure vial safety. These are glass vials and don't want them crushed. Just throwing them in a bubble mailer isn't enough, extra packing is needed. Whether it be placed in a small box before the bubble mailer with a good amount of bubble wrap/or lots of bubble wrap with peanuts or something..just be sure to have good packing methods. I have experienced receiving crushed vials due to lack of bubble wrap/packing. Thanks.

What do insomniac perfumers do to fall asleep? They count chypres!
Sure thing!
I'd like to try it, kalli.
I love the smell of real gardenia flowers but have had no success finding a gardenia perfume that I wanted to wear, yet.
And to be honest, I haven't had success with any of Ineke's fragrances yet...but never say die!
Are the samples sprays or vials? If sprays, it may be hard to stretch them to be enough for four people especially if the spray is opaque. Three might be better.

I agree with 30 Roses' take on gardenia..." I love the smell of real gardenia flowers but have had no success finding a gardenia perfume that I wanted to wear, yet." Has not been my thing so far at ALL, but I'd love to be proven wrong about this beautiful little flower.
Thanks for the opportunity to give it a whirl!
They are sprays, the glass vials are clear, so it's easy to see the amount left. I've gotten several wears out of the other Ineke samples I've had. Maybe I will switch it to 3 spots anyway, though, this juice isn't on the light side. Like three sprays and you're good..that's another reason I was thinking 4 spots.
Yeah, I starting to become addicted to these sample passes...please sign me up for a spot & thank you!

No, I have not.
I would also think 4 not 5 groups, 2-3 people each. Put me somewhere at the very end so that I do not have to ship the dregs to anyone, please? And timing does not really matter, with my going to school and stuff.

Kalli, if you put me in group 1 after Jujy, I could ship afterward to Twolf and toss in some of the Evelyn Rose for her to try, and maybe end that pass there? Then you'd have sample 2 for Mimi on her return, if you wished to do that. She would probably love to try it.

I have a sample already set for mimi besides the 5..I am giving her my sample and pmd her to let her know. Internet was down so I was unavailable. 5 groups 3 people each I guess, even though 4 could easily test from this I am sure. So, 5 groups cause I have 5 samples and I have a 6th I am giving to Mimi.
Great, thanks. So, how many samples DID they supply?

Nah, I don't really care, just giving you hard time. Thanks again.
If you looked at my other reply in the Sweet William I think, Ineke had previously supplied me with one sample..they gave away one sample of HH to whomever ordered from them recently. So, I already stated that they gave me that one and I was giving it to Mimi. Then, after that, I was supplied with 5 more for the pass. My sample for ordering from them was for Mimi. Then a week or so later or however long it was, I got the idea for the pass and was supplied with 5 more specifically for the pass. So I have 6 samples. 6 for you guys, zero for me. LOL. Maybe I should have mentioned it again to clarify. I have adjusted the numbers. I think 4 people could sample from these as this perfume is pretty condensed but I guess that will be officially determined later. 3 people per sample it is. *sigh* BN timing out. Have addresses for Genie and Jujy, will ship out before too long.

kalli, don't take it to heart, Twolf was just teasing you.
I got 12 samples of Blackberry & Bay-- 2 for us (myself and my husband) and 10 for the sample pass. It's perfectly okay to keep your sample! You are entitled to it.
Also, you can run your sample pass the way you prefer. We may make suggestions, but really it's up to you.
I notice you and I are both having trouble filling up our slots...I think the ladies on the forum must be preoccupied with other, more pressing matters this week. I see you are doing the same thing I'm doing, which is filling one group at a time. It makes sense. There may not be enough interest in either of our sample passes to fill all the groups. If so, that's okay, too.

I didn't take it seriously, just clarifying the numbers there. It did look a bit confusing I suppose. As far as slots.. I was thinking, they aren't being filled anyway..3 is better perhaps. I was about to switch it to 3 anyway I think. All these numbers..I thought of the Count on Sesame St...lol, annoying guy. After internet problems today..I am more like Grouch from the garbage can. Lol. LOL..I am not the biggest gardenia fan..so, giving my samples isn't straining my arm, lol. Plus, the way I am going through my Ineke sample set(specifically E and F, almost gone!)..I may have to order another soon. Though, I gotta say..as a gardenia hater pretty much..I do like some things about this...kinda liked it a bit on some levels. I almost like it, I did catch myself sniffing my arm a few times. Other times..I just get that part of the gardenia flower I don't like. That creamy, zing of the gardenia flower is what I don't like. The indolic, coconut-y part of the gardenia I like..it's just that the flower twists into this creamy, milky, dense..idk. And that's when the party ends for me. Hothouse is really intoxicating, one of the most intoxicating I've smelled I think. I like that part. It definitely draws you in and keeps you there. Can even draw in someone who's not into gardenia at all. It's really well done, imo. I like the sweetness, the woods. Mimi will love it, I am sure. This one does have musk..as I don't think there's a lot in HF, there's just enough to where I have some reaction to it.
Anyway..here was my experience sniffing Hothouse..before I looked up the notes.
Upon opening, a rich, warm, smooth, sweeter, coconut-y gardenia. Some spice and greens, not sure if spice is from tea-I haven't sniffed Earl Grey in quite a while. However, I do smell spice. Then a green grass note. A natural smelling green note, say a green note from an Annick Goutal or something. Smells like it's part of the gardenia flower or petals. I am not sure if gardenias as a whole have a green note to them. I do get a bit of the green note kind of at the "end" so-to-speak of the gardenia. The very noticeable green note doesn't last too long..but definitely long enough that it will be noticed for a while. Then a woody-green note. Then wood notes. Sweeter scent and woody. The spice comes out a bit more as it dries. Smells like a wood spice. Warm dry down. Musk comes out more as the spices mellows out some...gardenia remains present as it's a soliflore. The gardenia is pretty linear throughout in this scent. It's warm, sweeter and welcoming like the La Violette in the AG pass...though not as sweet as the AG I don't think. This is a bit heavy as it is gardenia..but not as heavy as say, Fracas. Maybe cause no tuberose in there. So a bit heavy and sweet. And I do like heavy and sweet. A warm, sweet, welcoming, intoxicating cloud of gardenia. A little goes a long way with this scent. If one were to buy a full bottle, it would definitely be worth the money for sure.
As this is on the sweeter side..it can definitely be worn very nicely in fall/winter. Since it has green notes..it can be pulled off in the spring, I believe.
After looking up the notes and doing some research...the spice I am getting is possibly from the tea note and from the frankincense, I think. Frankincense is a resin from trees with balsamic spicy notes. Some of the green I am getting is the from the galbanum I think..which is a traditional note to give a natural, green effect to florals such as hyacinth, gardenia, narcissus, iris and violet. Galbanum has verdant notes and balsamic-woody notes come through as it dries down.
Probably re-hash for some of you longer time members here but I learned a few things while sniffing this scent.

What 30R. said.
Group 1 and 2 samples mailed. Whitefluffy decided to join. I'll wait and see if anyone else signs up for groups 3,4,5. I know there are more gardenia fans on here, lol.
Just got my sample in the mail today. Thank you, Ms Kalli!
As I'm already anointed in another perfume today, I'll wait until the A.M. to give a test drive of this beautiful (ahem) gardenia scent. Just kidding...I think this may be "the one" that changes my mind about gardenia! Will post my thoughts tomorrow & pass it on. bookhouseshell please pm me your address!

Let me know what you think about it, y'all. I sprayed about a half of a vial I got directly from Ineke and I still am on the fence whether I like this one at all or not
So would love to hear from you all and see whatchya think!
And thank you very much for organizing the pass, Kalli! I am not signing up, just saying thanks and wanting to chat about this fragrance.

Kalli, thank you so much for this pass and for having me!
Like Genie Jeanie I prefer gardenias on a bush, in a perfume they are nauseating. . But I am really looking forward to trying this one, the notes sound so intriguing!
So, there are three of us that don't like gardenia, lol. I'll admit..I found myself spraying this as my SOTD not that long ago..but after a while..there's something about the gardenia note in general I find too heavy, thick, way overpowering and it just doesn't agree with me at all. I found myself wanting to wash it off me just cause I really can't hang with gardenia. But there is a lovely part about this scent. I've never even liked a gardenia enough to even spray on me much, so that is saying something about this one. I just can't do gardenia though. However, I really like some things about this..like I said earlier. I want to fully like it..but again, that thick, heavy, creamy in-not-a-good-way gardenia... I can't make the jump.
I said this earlier but I'd love a jasmine version. I know there's Poet's Jasmine..I haven't sniffed it yet but I'd really like a jasmine in that A-H style as I said before. Just cause I think it would be more concentrated, really intoxicating, less reserved..like Hothouse is. I'd also love to see a violet, those could be blind buys almost, lol. I mean, I love jasmine and violet..if she can make a soliflore out of a floral I really can't stand and make it into something sort of appealing to me for a while..well, I think she may blow my socks off with a jasmine or violet. I'd love to see more soliflores. Her lilac in After My Own Heart is well done, imo.
Anymore people wanting to sign? *crickets* lol. If you are thinking about it..do join cause it's wide open and there is juice to be sniffed. Surely there are more people that dig gardenia..even people that don't like gardenia signed up, lol. Kudos to you guys! .

Throw my name on the list.
In a world where 6 million people are added each month, every landscape matters.
I have my own sample which Ineke mailed to me, and I have sprayed it once. It was very nice, but I need to wear it again to decide if I want more.
Yay, we have enough for group 3 now..will try to ship before too long.
I decided to wait until I'd returned home for the day before testing out the Hothouse Flower sample, as I wasn't sure it would be something I wanted to share with the outside world. Gardenia & I have never been the best of friends.
My initial reaction was one of hope. This was not the loud, smack in the face scent I had anticipated, but a fairly soft, tea-tinged floral with a crisp edge of greenery. Not so bad! Fairly content to keep the soap & water at bay for the time being, I busied myself with other matters to let the scent develop. A while later I caught a strong whiff of the scent emanating from my arm. Yes, Miss Gardenia has entered the room. At this point the scent is becoming more of a soliflore with the other lovely notes being pushed aside as mere background noise. Hours later now, I never did get the musky, woody drydown I was hoping would round out this scent. No, this is a one-woman show.
While I find her older sister tuberose a bigger offender, gardenia is, for me, a bit like "the drunk girl at the party". Loud, obnoxious & attention-seeking.
Sorry, not for me. Now where's that soap!
Lol..haha, I totally feel ya on those white flowers! I wouldn't want a tuberose soliflore either, ugh, lol. Too bad it didn't work out, ya, I noticed as it developed the gardenia really came out more and I think that's when I wanted to exit.
Just received. Will apply before bed tonight and again tomorrow.
- - - Updated - - -
I'm back, couldn't resist sharing 1st impressions.
1spritz onto paper. First whiff is a big cedar chest note, very pleasant. Incense lurks, too.
2on left forearm, wrist, and elbow crook. The camphorous beginning tells me this is not your typical "hot buttered" gardenia. Instead I am reminded of SL Tubereuse Criminelle, which emphasized methyl salycilate over the creamier tuberose notes. Big sillage, and very strong, a little goes a long way. Now I am getting the fig note, which I recognize from Ralph Hot which I know and wear regularly. Just to check I spray a quick Spritz of Hot onto R wrist. Ralph Hot is an clear oriental with breakfast gourmand tendencies, so it is much sweeter, but the common fig note is unmistakeable. In all honesty, with Tuvache Jungle Gardenia as my reference, the gardenia note here seems nearly secondary. I'm not exactly getting Julie Wilson at the Café Carlyle (her signature was a gardenia in her hair), but I'm not disappointed. This is a heady yet refreshing scent. We shall see what morning brings.
- - - Updated - - -
3—woke up to a faint but discernable drydown. Reapplied. First impression is still a more polite Tubereuse Criminelle in the meeting of camphor (probably the cypress), green notes of the crushed stem sort, and finally the coconut-y gardenia kalli describes. I find it cool rather than warm, still experiencing it as heady yet refreshing. I think this would be a lovely summer's night fragrance.
Will pass on the 30Roses soon.
Thank you kalli!
ps—the bubblegum scratch and sniff cracked me up, as I had just written a capsule review to a friend re: Charbert's Breathless: cyanide and bubblegum (;
What do insomniac perfumers do to fall asleep? They count chypres!
Lol jujy, timing eh?
I didn't get any fig..but I am not familiar with fig notes. I think the only one I've sniffed is from Womanity..but I only sniffed that a couple of times as I don't care for it at all! lol. Caviar?. Salty and yuk. I didn't know Hot had fig..mmm, I liked Hot for a while there.. didn't like it the last time I sniffed but I may have to re-sniff sometime. I liked Wild for a while too, dug the strawberries.
This morning, I did spray a little down my cleavage—make that "continental divide". Spent the afternoon in a stuffy sweat-inducing classroom. Waited until I got home to stick my nose down my shirt, needless to say. Sure enough, this fragrance will bloom in the hot weather, it needs a warm body for the waxy part of the gardenia to make its entrance.
- - - Updated - - -
kalli, of the Ralphs, I only liked Hot, the others were too 20-something watery innocuous for me. Ralph is young, too, but with some old-school oriental, just more offbeat. A lot of people smell milk and maple syrup in addition to the fig, thus my appellation "breakfast gourmand."
What do insomniac perfumers do to fall asleep? They count chypres!
So # 3 finally sent off.
Just a quick one to say that I got the package. Yay! Thank you so much, Kalli! I will start testing tomorrow.
Well, I got to try it and this is what I thought:
Like previously mentioned, it opens up very promisingly. Sharp greens with a smell of dirt: must be the galbanum and earl grey tea. Then, like Genie Jeanie pointed out the drunken, attention seeking gardenia has arrived. To be fair, it is not as obnoxious as some other gardenias, but gardenia it is. She quickly took over a party: kicked the DJ out, cleared the dance floor, ate all condiments and finished everyone's drinks after which she hiccuped some boring musk. It's just too bad that the greens didn't persist and gardenia took over; if they did, it would have been very interesting perfume.
Interesting description WF, lol.
Sorry it didn't work for ya but at least you tried it, not even being a gardenia liker.
Still have six slots available guys..if anyone wants to try!
It really is not bad perfume at all, I am very grateful for the opportunity to try it. I think many people who like gardenia might like this one. I wonder if Mimi Gardenia has tried it yet...
Well, I just tried on Bronze Goddess by EL without reading the notes first, LOL. Cause LOL and behold, lots of gardenia(tiare to be exact). I was like ooooh coconut then oh no gardenia! I just remember coconut was in that one and I just spritzed away lol. So, ya..lesson learned. Anyway, my point is is that Bronze Goddess reminds me of Hothouse a lot. Lighter than HF but some similarities for sure.
Sample arrived on Saturday, but I've been really busy with family birthdays & my mother in town, so haven't had a chance to post. For the record, I do like big white flowers, but my nose isn't discerning enough to tell which one I'm smelling. Chantecailles Petalia was absolutely amazing for me, I really like vtg White Shoulders, AG Gardenia Passion & Chanel's, but I've never really done a full-on note bonanza or anything.
With that being said, the first couple hours with HF were not really pleasant. While BWF immediately hit the scene, she came without creamy, buttery, smooth, heady or green that I like her with. Instead there was a strange, intense pulsating spice accompaniment that was overpowering, flat & quite off-putting. Strange, I generally like spicy, but this particular combo was just WRONG! The way it smelled on me for a couple hours (which did not develop at all) was reminiscent in tone somehow to stuff my 13 yo daughter wears, modern & synthetic. All that being said, hours later the annoying smell does fade, leaving a quite pleasant & pretty drydown. I don't think I could go through the beginning to get to the end though, just not worth it.
Thanks so much to Kalli & Genie Jeanie. I will be passing sample on today or tomorrow. Calilove, could you PM your addy to me?
Hello, girls!
Kalli, thanks so much for spearheading this. I love a gal who takes charge.
First off, confession: I've never smelled a real gardenia. However, I'm lead to believe Mike Storer's Stephanie is a fairly good and green rendition, even if it is only selectively popular. I like it a lot, but only for a quick visit now, or else it wears out its welcome because I've overdosed in the past.
I love florals overall, and the first time I saw the word "hothouse," my imagination suckered me in. Who doesn't love a hothouse, greenhouse or botanical dome? I don't know (yet) how the green notes, fig and frankincense play in to this composition, but those are favorites, so that's all good. Like, 30 Roses, I haven't found "me" in any of the Ineke frags yet, but I haven't disliked what I've sampled, and can honestly recommend the lilac-y After My Own Heart, and I love the looks of Ineke's former and current website.
No hurry, Cestrum Nocturnum. I look forward to reading what you perceive
In a world where 6 million people are added each month, every landscape matters.
The package is on it's way to lovely CN!
I agree with Genie Jeanie that those green notes were the only ones I liked too. If there was more of them and less of gardenia and musk, I would consider a bottle. So far, after Goutal pass and the Hothouse I still prefer gardenias on a bush.
We even bought a plant one year, but found that their reputation for being finicky was well founded, and we couldn't get it to produce any more flowers...it finally died. (I'm sure I just didn't take good enough care of it.)
My mail today brought me a surprise sample from Rodney at the Creed Boutique in NYC: Fleurs de Gardenia, a 2006 scent that I had not smelled before. Apparently they are expecting some in next week, if there is anyone out there that wants to know. I have it dabbed on the back of both wrists. This is very sweet-- too sweet for me to wear.

I think I liked the woody notes the most, very nice in this scent.
Note: Robin is doing a review of Hothouse Flower today.
Yeah, 30R, I don't think the nurseries around here carry gardenias, but you know I sniff any flower I encounter.

hello gardenia lovers, i am new here on this post and the only reason why am here is because i have in my possession a bottle from 1935 unopened called gardenia charbert the oz are over 12oz for sure i would say close to 20 oz but it does not say on the label. now i have been searching all over the internet and it seems that this is the only one in existence. my question is how much would something like this be worth since is a one of a kind from a very beloved perfume back in the days. can any one help me, is driving me nuts, i believe is a real treasure but since i don't know much about it maybe am wrong. please comment and share any knowledge that you may have about this precious bottle.
Thank you.

Completed listings on eBay may give you an idea of what these perfumes by Charbert are going for recently:
None of the above are Gardenia. A different full bottle of a Charbert scent sold at best offer for $50:
You could do a search specifically for "Charbert Gardenia" and then save the search so that if any are listed, you get an email. Watch the listing and when it ends, if it sells, you will get an idea of the value.
However, if I were you, I would just search for Charbert (not specifying Gardenia) because it's possible that one of their other fragrances may have been bottled similarly, and then you'd get a better idea of whether the bottle increased the sale price of the perfume.

thank you for your reply, I have done some searching on ebay and several other sites but no answer on a gardenia charbert perfume, even on google, all I was able to find is when it was created not even a picture to show reference, all the other charbert perfums on sale are plenty of. the gardenia on the other hand is to say the least extinct and I honestly believe I hold the last bottle in existence. maybe there are others out there, but not on the net. I do not know if there was a replica created under another name which is the reason why I turned to this post. maybe someone out there knows something that I don't know and that I have been unable to find in this vast internet. :-)
any leads would be appreciated.
thanks again.
The value is whatever people have demonstrated they are willing to pay to own it. As you are the most recent purchaser, that value was set by you.
If you should sell it, the value will be set by your buyer-- and you won't know what it is until you succeed in selling it. This is why many people use completed auction listings to find out the current value of unusual/rare collectibles.
The funny thing about eBay is that rare items are listed all the time. Collectors die, or get tired of owning something, or decide they need the money more. Or someone's grandmother passes on and the family sells off the unwanted parts of her estate. So keep looking; eventually you may find an answer to your question. (I am assuming you are a collector; if you are hoping to sell it and are wondering what to list it for, use a reserve to ensure you don't lose money on the sale, or start the auction at the least you would be happy to get for it.)

I wonder if CN got the package yet?
Anyone else want to join the pass? Plenty of spots left! Perhaps I got too many samples for the pass lol.
kalli, group 1's sample is still with jujy, who has a lot going on right now. Perhaps it would take pressure off her if she could just keep that sample. You could send another sample to me, which I will then send on to Twolf, if you didn't mind.

Hi, Kalli! I heard from CN and she just got it as their post not been very friendly recently. She also has some things she is dealing with at the moment, but she will be back soon, I am sure .
Thanks for the update WF.
Hi again! I'm alive and sniffing.
Whitefluffy, thank you so much for your support and posting on my behalf. I will be mailing out tomorrow to Quarry. (I'll add delivery confirmation so we can track it—fingers crossed for a safe and quick trip!) And thank you Quarry for being so patient and understanding! My mom is now staying with us for a while and I have taken her to see two more specialists at a world class medical center, and we have appointment for one more at this point. I am going to rush this a bit, so I am just posting my notes on the perfume; that is probably easier to read than my usual hypergraphic ramblings anyway! Lol…
Hothouse Flowers by Ineke
- Immediately reminds me of White Shoulders, in a good way
- Green
- Spicy
- Not really gardenia
- Ginger flower
- Soapy—galbanum?
- Plumeria
- Pine, salicylates, resins ??? (maybe this was the cypress…)
- Bergamot- herbal type not too citric
- Pikake- jasmine, sort of sharp
o Then sweetness
o Echoes of Child -- a tiny bit
o Indian jasmine soap
- Mellows more, even more like jasmine soap now
- Sandalwood—old school, sweet, creamy
- Becomes more gardenia like after 10-15 minutes on my skin
- Little bit of glue and dirt
- Becomes more creamy and realistic. Nice gardenia. Not too cloying or fake. Resin and coolness gives a reality to it. Not too much… or overpowering
o can appreciate this take on gardenia
- (after looking at notes: Maybe earthy weird green is corn silk?)
- Grows a little more woody
- Gets a little sweeter and stronger after 30 min
- A little more powder
- becomes a little cheaper smelling
- After an hour is really cheap smelling and yukky.
- Musk, sharp synth floral, and synth wood
o Very drugstore or bad designer smelling, so cheap, so sad
- Drydown ruins the scent for me
- Can see the comparison to EL Bronze Goddess in drydown
o Funny, found the Sweet William drydown to be reminiscent of EL Sensuous or The One Gentleman, this one is like another dept store frag too
- From the two Ineke fragrances that I have tested, have not liked drydown in either, and both felt cheap and badly constructed. Disappointing, as dd lasts longest.
- If not for the bad drydown, would perhaps consider buying for interesting jasmine(s)and very nice gardenia. Drydown is intolerable.
- After reviewing notes again: No fig (or coconutty fig) to my nose. Maybe fig in coumarin thing… ? Like fig leaf? No tea, but perhaps the citric bergamot thing may have been the Earl Grey note. I did not sense any frankincense or absinth in a noticeable way.
Loved Genie Jeanie's description of gardenia being the party girl-- My tomboy, scent eating skin smacks down (or shames?!?) the loud, obnoxious party girl, lol! She is quiet with me. LOL'd at WF's continuation of the party girl metaphor—unfortunately, I do know someone like that… ick. So glad this did not bring that impression to mind!
A big *Thank You* to Kalli for sharing these samples and organizing the sample pass!
CN, thanks so much for jotting down your impressions, best wishes to you and your mother ((hugs)).
Still spots left, lol.

Boghuma Kabisen Titanji:
Ethical riddles in HIV research
It's an all too common story: after participating in an HIV clinical trial, a woman in sub-Saharan Africa is left without the resources to buy a bus ticket to her health clinic, let alone to afford life-saving antiretrovirals. Boghuma Kabisen Titanji asks an important question: how can researchers looking for a cure make sure they're not taking advantage of those most affected by the pandemic?
